Han Yan was finally leaving, and Liu Ci thought of many ways. He first asked Han Yan to move out of the palace, and then placed restrictions on everything. Han Yan naturally understood that he could not stay in Hengshan Kingdom any longer. Thinking about it, the King of Hengshan did not even see him.
, what’s the point of staying in Hengshan Kingdom? Just to fool around with the old lady in the palace, Han Yan’s taste is not that strong.
After leaving the city gate of Lu'an, there was no one to see him off, which made Han Yan hate Hengshan to the core. He gritted his teeth and scolded Liu Ci's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, and only after he finished scolding did he remember to scold him like this.
Liu Ci was going to be beheaded.
"Doctor, where are we going now?" The attendant was unhappy to see Han Yan and wanted to find a topic to distract Han Yan: "How about we go back to Chang'an? I heard that His Majesty already knew that you left Chang'an without authorization and was very angry!
"
"No, go to Huainan Kingdom!"
"Ah? King Huainan and King Hengshan are brothers. King Hengshan doesn't give us face, how can King Huainan be okay?"
Han Yan smiled: "What about brothers? Who in the royal family has not been a brother to another since ancient times? Let's not talk about the distance, Qin II and Zi Su are brothers, right? The late Emperor and Liang Wang are brothers, right? Liu Cihe
Liu An, these two brothers, haha!"
Han Yan's companion had also read a few books and knew a little about what Han Yan was talking about. He nodded and said, "Then why should we go to Huainan Country?"
Han Yan shook his head: "I don't know either. This old boy Liu An always likes to hide and watch the fun. He always talks about waiting for the right time. I want to see how long he can wait?"
"What the young master means is that Liu An wants to..."
"Don't talk too much. You know what you should know. Stop asking if you don't know!" Han Yan had an angry look on his face, and Bandang quickly shut up.
The sound of wheels rolling along the official road. The dirt-paved road becomes muddy after rain. Occasionally, when you encounter a puddle, it will bump violently. Sitting in it is like sitting in a child's bed.
The cart is rocking and shaking, and if you are not careful, you can knock the carriage over. Liu Xiao's method is very good. There is a woman on one side, and he bumps into the breast of the woman on the left to the left, and bumps into the belly of the woman on the right backward. Liu Xiao
His hands were not honest, and each collision caused the two women to convulse. Looking at the two women's faces, Liu Xiao smiled.
Outside the carriage curtain, the driver shouted loudly: "Second Young Master, we are reaching Lu'an just ahead. We have been running around for several months and we are finally back. Your Majesty will be very happy to see you."
Liu Xiao smiled: "Drive your car more steadily, it will knock both girls out of shape."
The coachman chuckled, flicked his whip, and drove the horse forward. The carriage jolted violently, and the two women climbed onto Liu Xiao's body in unison, and Liu Xiao burst into laughter.
There was a sea of people at the gate of the city, and people entering and leaving the city were crowded together. The military officer in charge took his time and checked everyone carefully. Of course, this was only for ordinary people, Liu Xiao's chariots and horses had not arrived yet.
The cavalrymen who were leading the way had already rushed over, galloping as fast as they could, shouting as they rushed: "Everyone, please give way, the second young master is back!"
The common people were very conscious and, driven by the soldiers, opened a two-foot-wide road in the middle of the city gate. Many people crowded with each other, crying and cursing one after another. Only a gorgeous carriage was seen in the distance.
As it drove over, the high royal emblem on the top proved that the identity of the person inside was very unusual. The carriage entered the crowd, but the driver still showed no intention of slowing down. Liu Xiao heard the movement outside and stuck his head out to take a look.
"Stop! What happened today?"
The coachman shook his head: "I don't know. It seems like something happened. They are checking when entering and exiting the city gate."
"Go and call the military commander and ask him carefully before we enter the city."
Someone hurried over and called the general to come over. As soon as he heard that the second young master was looking for him, the military commander ran over and knelt down to salute from a long way away: "I pay my respects to the second young master."
"Get up and say something!" Liu Xiao pointed around: "What's going on? Why is the city closed for no reason?"
The military commander hurriedly came to the carriage: "The second young master just came back and did not know that half a month ago, the prince's son was killed in the prince's mansion. The king ordered the Lu'an County Magistrate to solve the case within ten days and handed over the patrol camp to the general.
They also ordered the city to be closed down. The ten-day deadline was set a few days ago, and the head of Lu'an County Magistrate was beheaded."
"Oh? The crown prince's entourage was killed, who did it?"
The military commander shook his head: "I don't know about this little guy. I heard that it was related to Dr. Han who came from Chang'an. The prince also found the man's jade pendant at the murder scene, but Dr. Han denied it. The king had nothing to do.
"
"Doctor Han? How come in a blink of an eye, all the people who come to Lu'an are so powerful? Last time it was the domineering Su Ren, and this time it's Dr. Han. My father can't do anything about it. Do you know what this person's name is?"
"It seems to be called Han Yan!"
"Mr. Han Yan?" Liu Xiao suddenly pushed his head out of the car window, startling the military commander, and nodded repeatedly.
"Where is the person? Where is Mrs. Han?"
"I'm leaving. I left three days ago. I also left the city from here."
"Where?"
The military commander shook his head: "I don't know, I may have returned to Chang'an."
Liu Xiao sighed and waved his hand to signal the military commander to leave. Lying down in the carriage again, Liu Xiao's face looked disappointed, but also slightly happy. He was disappointed because he didn't see Han Yan, and he was happy because his son Liu Shuang was unlucky. The carriage
Walking straight along the street to the palace, the driver took the reins and the shaft horse neighed and stopped steadily. It took Liu Xiao a long time to get out of the carriage while arranging his clothes.
The guard at the door hurriedly caught him. Liu Xiao walked in and asked, "Where is your father?"
"The king is talking to some gentlemen in the back garden."
Liu Xiao nodded, went straight into the gate, walked along the corridor and entered the back garden. A hexagonal pavilion was built in the shade of trees and flowers. Although it has entered winter, the plants in Jiangnan are still lush. In the pavilion
Flower viewing among them is a good choice. From a distance, Liu Xiao saw Liu Ci, Xi Ci, Zhang Guangchang and Wei Qing sitting among them.
Suddenly, Liu Xiao frowned. Among these people, he found someone he didn't want to see, Liu Shuang. Just because he didn't want to see him, it didn't mean he didn't need to see him. Liu Ci had already seen Liu Xiao, and Liu Xiao couldn't turn around and leave.
, stepped forward bravely. He first gave Liu Ci a big gift, and then met other officials. When it was Liu Shuang's turn, Liu Xiaoxin was reluctant.
"Brother is here too, little brother is polite."
Liu Shuang smiled and said: "My second brother is very tired outside. I want to share my worries with my father. Please get up quickly."
When the two of them looked like this, Liu Ci chuckled: "Okay, that's good, they look like brothers. I went to Jiangxia for two months. Can the things there be properly handled?"
Liu Xiao quickly said: "Father, don't worry, the floods in Jiangxia are not serious. My son reprimanded the officials there and released grain and rice on several county roads that were seriously affected. Those places that were not severely affected also took the time to replant.
It will affect next year's harvest."
"Hahaha, you, my father, are the most at ease in doing things. You have done a good job!" Liu Ci stroked his beard: "Those officials who lied about the disaster must be severely punished. Different situations must be treated differently, very good!"
"Thank you father for the compliment!" Liu Xiao smiled with a smile on his face.
When Liu Shuang saw Liu Xiao being praised by Liu Ci, his face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to open his mouth to find some flaws, Wei Qing gently pulled him away. Liu Shuang turned around and looked, and Wei Qing shook his head at him. Liu Shuang was angry.
Sit back up again.
Xi Ci then smiled and said: "The second young master is talented, knowledgeable, and adaptable, and can take on a great responsibility! Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king. With the help of the prince inside and the help of the second young master outside, our Hengshan Kingdom will surely prosper and create a prosperous age."
Liu Ci laughed louder, and looked at his two sons with eyes full of love: "By the way, where did we just talk?"
Liu Shuang hurriedly said: "Speaking of the matter of going to Beijing to see His Majesty, the Prime Minister of the country said that father and king should not be separated lightly. We should use illness as an excuse not to come to Beijing for the time being. Nowadays, there are external and internal troubles, and the Huainan Kingdom has deployed a lot of things on our border."
As for the troops and horses, the general believes that we should recruit troops to nip them in the bud, but I think that the recruitment should be carried out according to our ability. The troops should not be numerous but fine, and training should be stepped up. If there is any change in the Huainan Kingdom, we will not be helpless."
"In addition, this year is the year for my father to have an audience with the king. Last time, my father refused to go away because of illness. The late emperor had a lot of criticisms about his father. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, if my father does not go, he will definitely leave people with a bad taste. Last year, Ji
The King of the North did not come to see him. Over the past year, the imperial court sent more postal inspectors and imperial envoys to Jibei many times, causing the whole Jibei to become restless. Our Hengshan Kingdom has just begun to improve, and we must not be shaken while others are watching eagerly."
Liu Ci nodded repeatedly.
Xi Ci said: "I think what the prince said is just superficial. Last year, the four kings went to the capital, and only three came back alive. The king on behalf of the king even died in Chang'an. Nowadays, your majesty has many intentions of cutting off the princes. He has been suffering from the lack of opportunities. If the king rashly comes to the capital,
, if the emperor intends to cause harm, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Liu Xiao then said: "Yes, if my father makes a mistake, wouldn't the Hengshan Kingdom be taken away by someone with ulterior motives?" Although Liu Xiao did not name him by name, his eyes were rolling on Liu Shuang.
Liu Shuang was furious and stood up suddenly, pointing at Liu Xiao: "Please tell me clearly, who has ulterior motives?"
Liu Xiao said with a smile: "Who knows, there are so many people who covet the throne of Hengshan, so I am afraid there are ulterior secrets in instigating my father to come to Beijing! Rumors spread wildly in the streets of Chang'an that the death of King Dai is inseparable from Su Ren. I heard
To say that my brother and Su Ren are very close makes people think a lot."
"You!" Liu Shuang casually threw the tea cups on the table. Liu Xiao quickly avoided it and sat there with a lukewarm smile on his face.
"That's enough!" Liu Ci shouted, looking at his eldest son, frowning: "I just complimented you two, and we started arguing again. Get out of here, I never want to see you two again!"
Liu Shuang knelt down to apologize, and Liu Xiao stood up and left. Liu Ci sighed and waved for Liu Shuang to leave too. The two sons left the garden one after another, and Liu Ci was no longer in the mood to discuss the matter: "They are all from the same mother.
Compatriots, the quarrel has reached such a level, and the attraction of the throne is so great?" (To be continued)
