Liu Ling's many words finally made Liu Zhuo temporarily give up the idea of proposing a marriage to him. The most important thing was to reject the Prince Zhong's Mansion that had been planned to be built. The country is now poor, and if there is a lot of construction work to build the mansion, I am afraid that the people will have to do it.
It poked his spine. And this matter that Liu Zhuo brought up in confidence was nothing short of a bomb for Liu Ling. It wasn't that Liu Ling really didn't want to marry and have children, but that he absolutely couldn't marry Lu Sen's daughter!
In Liu Zhuo's view, betrothal of Lu Sen's daughter Lu Yuzhu to Liu Ling was a good thing that had the best of both worlds. There was a gap between Lu Sen and Liu Ling, which was obvious to all the civil and military officials of the dynasty. In order to help Liu Zhuo
After he ascended the throne, Liu Ling sent troops to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Sen is still worried about this.
Liu Zhuo wanted to be a peacemaker. After all, Liu Ling did it to help him. Now Liu Linggui is the loyal prince and is presiding over the rectification of the court. If he is at odds with the prime minister, it will not be a good thing for both public and private. If he can make Liu Ling
If he marries Lu Sen's daughter, the marriage between the two families will be a great benefit to the court and Liu Ling.
Although Lu Sen does not have much resistance to the rectification measures proposed by Liu Ling, if this hidden danger is not eliminated, it will explode sooner or later. Lu Sen is the best choice for the prime minister. And Liu Ling is his best choice.
If someone who is close to them can reconcile the two of them, it will be a meritorious deed.
Liu Ling was so insistent that he refused to accept it, which surprised Liu Zhuo. He felt that Liu Ling should be able to appreciate his good intentions. Liu Ling should have no reason to refuse such a good thing for the country and himself. But Liu Ling should
Liu Zhuo was determined not to give in, so Liu Zhuo couldn't push him too hastily.
How could Liu Zhuo know that Liu Ling had his own difficulties?
As soon as Liu Ling heard that Liu Zhuo was betrothing Lu Sen's daughter Lu Yuzhu to him, the first thing that came to his mind was these four words: power over the whole country!
In the current imperial court, Liu Ling is in charge of military affairs and reforming the government, and one person is less than ten thousand people. Lu Sen is in charge of the people's livelihood, and he is the head of hundreds of officials. If the two of them get married, then the government can be said to be complete.
It's in Liu Ling's hands!
This is a taboo for ministers!
Although Liu Ling knew that his second brother Liu Zhuo would not be suspicious of him, and he would definitely not have any evil intentions. But Liu Ling understood the thousands of years of China's feudal history. Examples of monarchs and ministers who were of the same mind at first but later turned against each other.
All of them. And in the end, how many of those peerless figures who dominated the government and the public could have a happy ending?
Not to mention, when Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was in power, Suo'etu, the minister in charge of the bodyguard, was extremely favored. His niece Hesheli was the most cherished queen of Emperor Kangxi and the first queen of Emperor Kangxi.
.With this relationship, Suo'etu was still a great contributor to the Kangxi administration. But what happened to Suo'etu when he later lost power?
Besides, after the death of Hesheli, the second queen, Niu Gulu, was the daughter of the auxiliary minister Ye Bilong. What happened to Ye Bilong?
Even though Emperor Liu Zhuo now has a lot of trust in him, public opinion is the most terrifying weapon. Liu Ling, who is well-read in history books, immediately thought of the powerful relationship. He could win Liu Zhuo's trust for a while, and also gain the trust of Emperor Liu Zhuo.
I'm really not sure that Liu Zhuo I's attitude towards him has not changed at all.
He wanted to establish the Military Aircraft Department just to strengthen the emperor's centralization of power. A large part of the reason was to return the enviable rights in his body to the emperor in disguise. He was in charge of the military power of the Northern Han Dynasty, which was a natural gift.
Great glory also comes with potential crisis.
Since ancient times, no one who has a self-respecting army has come to a good end. Even if the emperor is honest with him at the beginning, it will inevitably lead to endless slanders in the future. When Liu Ling established the military aircraft office, he actually handed over the power to the general in a practical sense.
It was returned to the emperor's hands. This was a wonderful move, which Liu Ling came up with after thinking hard for several nights.
If he really marries Lu Sen's daughter, it is inevitable that no villain will stir up trouble in front of the filial emperor Liu Zhuo in the future. In that case, the only family relationship that Liu Ling has carefully maintained in this era will fall apart.
This is a result Liu Ling doesn't want to see.
After having breakfast with Liu Zhuo in the Chengxian Hall, Liu Ling excused himself from feeling unwell and took a day off to return to his house. Although Liu Zhuo temporarily gave up the idea after Liu Ling's repeated requests, Liu Ling saw that
It turns out that his second brother has no intention of giving up. It’s not that Liu Ling doesn’t understand his second brother’s intentions, but Liu Ling absolutely cannot accept this kindness.
After Liu Ling returned to the palace, he first went to a side room in the backyard, where the environment was relatively quiet. The backyard was where Liu Ling practiced martial arts, and he usually did not allow people to enter casually. But now, this place has another purpose.
Gently pushing open the door, Liu Ling stepped into the room.
"Zhao Da meets the prince!"
Zhao Da struggled to get up from the bed and was about to kowtow and salute. Zhao Er, who was waiting on him, saw Liu Ling coming and quickly knelt down to salute.
Liu Ling quickly walked over to support Zhao Da and said, "Don't move, don't involve the wound."
"Zhao Er, please get up too. This is your own home, there are not so many messy rules."
Liu Ling said after helping Zhao Da lie down.
Zhao Er stood up, turned around and poured Liu Ling a cup of tea.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
Liu Ling asked, holding Zhao Da's hand.
Zhao Da's face changed, and a warmth arose in his heart that made him want to cry. He was just a domestic slave in Prince Liu Ling's palace, but Liu Ling did not despise him because of his humble background, and not only promoted him to be in charge of two thousand
The general of the Chinese team was even more sincere to him. How could he not be moved by this kindness?
"Your Majesty..."
There were tears in Zhao Da's eyes. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Liu Ling patted Zhao Da on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Zhao Da, I only gave you 300 people to attack the city gate. After breaking the city, I went straight to the palace and ignored your life and death. Can you blame me?"
Zhao Da's face suddenly became extremely frightened. He struggled up from the bed, knelt down and kowtowed: "The prince's kindness to Zhao Da is as deep as a mountain. Zhao Da lives to serve the prince. This life belongs to you, the prince. Zhao Dasheng is
The prince's servant will still be the prince's servant after death, Zhao Da will never blame the prince."
Zhao Er also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, my brother and I are here today because of your Majesty. Our brother's life is only determined by your thoughts. My brother will never complain at all!"
Liu Ling stretched out his hand to help the two brothers up and sighed: "Princes, generals and ministers, would you rather be kind? You think you are my slaves, Liu Ling, so you put your lives in my hands and be loyal to me.
I will follow you to the death. But do you know that in my heart, I regard you two as brothers?"
He stopped the frightened Brother Zhao and continued: "But I also know that you only regard me as your master. Forget it, I won't embarrass you. But there is one thing you have to promise me."
The two Zhao brothers hurriedly said: "Please give me your instructions."
Liu Ling said: "From now on, in front of outsiders, you two will be my subordinates, Liu Ling. In your own home, you don't have to be so rigid in etiquette. What I value is the love and righteousness of you two brothers. In my eyes, you two
Not servants or domestic slaves, but friends who can be friends with each other. Is it possible for you to do this?"
Zhao Da and Zhao Er looked at each other, not daring to agree to Liu Ling's request anyway. They just kowtowed again, not daring to become friends with Liu Ling anyway.
Liu Ling gave a wry smile and said nothing. He put the golden sore medicine he had obtained from the imperial doctor on the table, turned around and walked out.
After Liu Ling left, Zhao Da raised his head and looked at Liu Ling's back, his eyes filled with tears.
"Brother, in this life you and I will never let down the prince's appreciation! If I have any objections in the future, you will behead me with one sword. If you have any objections, you will never show mercy to me as a brother!"
Zhao Er was also moved to tears. He nodded vigorously and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will be your prince's loyal dog for the rest of my life!"
Liu Ling returned to the study. Liu Meier had already made fragrant tea for him. When Liu Ling came in, he smelled a light fragrance in the room, which made people feel relaxed. Liu Ling looked at it
, I saw a small incense burner placed on the desk, with a few wisps of smoke floating in the air.
"Is this sandalwood?"
Liu Ling stopped, pointed at the incense burner and said.
Liu Meier nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this sandalwood was specially sent by Mr. Zhao Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, yesterday. Originally, Your Majesty, you have already ordered that all the gifts sent by the princes and ministers should be returned intact. But the servants
Thinking that the sandalwood sent by Mr. Zhao is not a valuable thing, and your prince has not been resting well recently, Mr. Zhao said that the sandalwood has the effect of calming the mind and promoting sleep, so the slave... left it. Your prince, you
You won’t blame the slave."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Forget it, just keep it. If you use it later, you can just go out and buy it."
Liu Meier obediently blessed me and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not scolding me."
Liu Ling laughed and said, "When have I ever scolded you? I absolutely cannot tolerate such slander of the Lord. Look at me, it won't work if I don't follow the law."
Liu Mei'er's face suddenly turned bright red, she held the corners of her clothes with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want it?"
Liu Ling deliberately put on a serious face and said: "That's natural. The state-owned legal family has family rules, how can they be invalidated?"
"oh……"
Liu Mei'er's face was so red that it was almost dripping with water. Her eyes were full of water vapor. The red clouds flew up on her cheeks. She was really as delicate and endearing as a peach blossom in full bloom. She slowly turned her back to Liu
Ling, after hesitating for a while, slowly lifted up the hem of his skirt.
A pair of jade legs are white and flawless, slender and straight. This pair of jade legs are perfect. If you add one point more, you will be fatter, if you lose one point, you will be thinner. They are round, delicate, and crystal clear. Gradually, as Liu Meier's dress is pulled higher and higher,
The two petals are round and erect to the extreme, which makes people see the blood flowing buttocks gradually revealed.
Liu Meier's beautiful eyes were full of spring, and her face was as rosy as fire. She turned her head and looked at Liu Ling with pleading eyes, and begged softly: "Please be gentler, Your Majesty... slave... slave, I don't dare to do it anymore."
Liu Ling couldn't help but feel distracted as he stared at the snow-white round buttocks. He took a deep breath to suppress the surging desire. He looked carefully at the perfect buttocks, then laughed loudly and slapped Liu Mei.
On your ass!
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Liu Ling couldn't help but linger on Liu Meier's buttocks with her fingers for a moment before leaving. He said with a smile: "I hope you realize your mistake, so I'll give you a little punishment. Haha!"
Liu Meier heard Liu Ling say that it would only be a one-time spank, and the heart in her throat suddenly dropped. She was very embarrassed to assume this posture. Although Liu Ling was her master, such a posture made her, who was only seventeen years old, have her first love.
How can a young girl not be shy?
However, she herself never realized that there was still a looming reluctance in her heart. (To be continued)
