The queen followed the emperor's instructions and advanced the marriage. When she informed the emperor, the emperor was not very excited. He just nodded and said that he already knew. The next day, he asked Huangmen General Liu Mastiff to come to the palace. , not long after, Liu Mastiff rushed to the palace and walked into the Houde Hall. The moment he entered, he keenly felt the difference between his father and the past.
The emperor was sitting in front of the case, his face was extremely red, and the veins on his forehead were beating constantly, looking a bit ferocious. When he saw Liu Mastiff walking in, the emperor just glanced at him. Liu Mastiff paid homage to his father, and then he sat down. In front of him, the emperor looked at Liu Mastiff in front of him, looked at it seriously for a long time, and then said: "I have decided to advance your marriage. This month, you will get married to Lu Ji."
"Ah??!" Liu Mastiff was shocked and stood up suddenly. What happened this month? What does father mean? Could it be that his secret meeting with Lu Ji was exposed by Zong Zheng? Liu Mastiff was thinking Just as he was thinking about it, the fat man looked at him and asked seriously: "Can you be a good husband? Can you support a family?" Liu Mastiff was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "My son, I Can."
"Can you manage that country well?"
"Father!" Liu Mastiff raised his head and stared into the emperor's eyes.
"Come and sit down, don't be so afraid." The big fat man smiled and asked Liu Mastiff to sit in front of him. The big fat man said: "Sometimes, there is no distinction between family and country. The emperor of Han Dynasty is the biggest head of the family. In this family, there are people you love and people who need your protection. Everyone in the world is your child. You have to love and tolerate them. When they make mistakes, you have to punish them and let them understand that this is wrong. of"
"You can't just think about your own enjoyment. The so-called head of the family has the greatest power in the family, and at the same time, he also has the greatest responsibility. If you can't feed the children, they will be angry and dissatisfied. In the end, they will find ways to get it by themselves. food, or, leave from your home"
The big fat man's face suddenly looked a little painful. He covered his chest and tried not to vomit, but his whole body was still shaking. The feeling of wanting to vomit but not being able to vomit made him particularly uncomfortable. He just made a few sounds, Everything seemed to be blocked in his chest, and tears appeared in his eyes, but it was just an instinctive reaction. Liu Mastiff was frightened. He walked up, supported the big fat man, and slowly made him sit down.
"Haha, mastiff, how about some wine?" the big fat man asked. Mobile version::
Liu Mastiff nodded and quickly went to give the order. Soon, Huangmen brought the wine. These were tributes, spirits from Ningzhou. Liu Mastiff poured the wine on the wine cup and poured it for his father. Some, the big fat man also saw it, he was stunned, and said with a smile: "I want to eat some fish, just go and give the order."
"Here you go!"
Liu Mastiff said, and quickly ordered Huangmen to prepare fish and meat.
After waiting for a long time, all kinds of fish and meat were piled in front of the two of them. The big fat man smiled very happily. He didn't know what he was thinking of. The father and son sat in the Houde Hall, took a bite of fish and meat, and then drank. After a sip of fine wine, it was really pleasant. The big fat man suddenly felt a little comfortable all over. Even the headache that had been tormenting him all the time seemed to have disappeared. He said with a smile: "Look, this is the big fish sent by Ningzhou. Liu Mo's favorite fish before his death." Love eating this”
Liu Mastiff was a little worried, but still nodded.
"Dalang, you are my first child. I am a father for the first time. I don't know how to teach my child. I don't want to learn from my father, but in the end I failed to teach him anything. Fortunately, you My father's bloodline is excellent. You are young and smart, just like me!!!" The emperor said, taking another sip of wine, the redness on his face became even brighter. Liu Mastiff was silent for a moment, and then asked cautiously: " Father, are you okay?"
"No, no, the day is coming for you to be the emperor. Are you happy?"
Liu Mastiff trembled, bit his lip, shook his head, and said tremblingly: "I'm not happy."
"Hahaha, don't lie to me. You can't lie to me. Do you think I didn't have a childhood? When you passed away, speaking of it, I was also unfilial. After being sad, I was still a little happy. I thought I could show off my talents, I thought I could do better than my father, and do more." The big fat man shook his head and smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to say this, he heard sobbing.
He raised his head, and at some point, Liu Mastiff burst into tears, wiping his tears and crying.
"Cry so much!! Wipe your tears!!" The big fat man shouted. Liu Mastiff wiped his tears and looked at his father with hazy eyes. The big fat man grinned and said, "Stop crying, I don't want to cry anymore." I won’t talk about what I have or don’t have, I will tell you directly, I know my body well, and I probably can’t hold on for too long. I want you to get married earlier, and I also want to see your wedding with my own eyes. Yeah, yeah, back then, I want to see my wedding with all my heart, and I want to see it with my own eyes but you don’t have this opportunity.”
"I don't want to be like him. If you get married early, I don't want to see your grandson. Of course, it's best to see your grandson. But as long as I can see your wedding, I'll be satisfied!!"
"Father, don't say that, you won't leave." Liu Mastiff whispered. The fat man shook his head and said, "Remember, Dalang, you are the prince of the Han Dynasty first, and then my son." , if I die, anyone can cry for me, be sad, and feel decadent, but you can't. From the time you were born, you have been destined to be different from everyone else. The emperor of Han Dynasty cannot cry. You can’t be afraid, you can’t be weak.”
"If I leave, don't cry. You have to bear the overall situation. First of all, your mother can help you to stabilize the situation in the harem. You can rest assured that your mother will never ignore you, nor will she take you away. Treat her as a puppet. Of course, I am asking you to trust her, not to trust foreigners. You cannot reuse her clansmen." The emperor said, and then said: "As for the court, don't worry."
"The Three Dukes are powerful. If you rush to arrange your own manpower, big problems will arise. You can start from Jiuqing and arrange your own men in sequence. As for the Three Dukes, you still have to be extremely cautious in military matters. You married Lu Ji, With Lu Bu as your backer, there is no need to worry. Zhi Jinwu is the strongest force in Luoyang besides the Northern Army, and the Northern Army, whether Huang Zhong or Guan Yu, are loyal people. Plus you have Hua Xiong, Zhuge Liang's relationship, the Northern Army will also be under your control."
"Hua Xiong is close to you. Although he is a fool, he still has many friends in the military, including Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's mentor Liu Mo, and Huang Zhong, as well as Zhao Yun of the Southern Army. You are close to the captain, and the arrangements I have made for you are comprehensive. All armies in the world will be close to you."
"As for the officials, your reputation is good, and they will not embarrass you. If they are eager to abolish the New Deal, remember not to stand up yourself and let Cao Cao go against them."
"Also, don't rush to start a war."
The emperor spoke slowly, while the fat man was eating wine and talking about various things in the country. Liu Mastiff just looked at him, with more fear in his eyes. He was afraid, he was afraid that he would lose his father. The big fat man said a lot, then looked at Liu Mastiff and asked: "Do you remember??"
"Father will be fine. I will go find Hua Tuo tomorrow."
"Bastard! Are you going to tell everyone that I'm leaving so that the traitor can prepare in advance?" the big fat man asked angrily.
Liu Mastiff said: "Father will be fine. I will find Hua Tuo tomorrow. If he dares to leak it, I will kill him." The big fat man was also helpless, nodded and said: "Mastiff, what's your heart?" I have always been soft and gentle towards others. Let me tell you, this is wrong. When I first came to the throne, I also wanted to be a benevolent and righteous emperor, treat my people well and treat my ministers gently."
"As a result, my gentleness cost the prince his life. I lost my only support in the temple. I am not like my father. I have no children, I do not have Duke Wen, and I do not have a prince. Even Mr. Xing never forgets my father. As for I was just his sustenance for my father. From then on, I understood that being a king, especially a kind-hearted king, would only cost the life of his beloved ministers, and would only make others feel easy to bully. Constant provocation, I want to see how far your tolerance is."
"So, I made myself more violent, like a tyrant. I scolded the ministers, and I killed the opponents. In this way, I can protect everyone. The tragedy of the prince should be treated as a member of my Han Dynasty. Warning: After you ascend the throne, you must not show your weakness in front of others. Only by letting them be in awe can you be a good emperor." : :
The big fat man said, suddenly pointing to the fish in front of him.
"Remember!! Only you can eat this fish in the world, no one else can eat it, no matter it is your mother, your wife, or your brother!! Never, ever, eat alone!!"
Liu Mastiff was forced by the big fat man to drink a lot of wine. He lay on the desk and was drunk. That night, he ate a lot of wine and a lot of fish. In his drunken dream, he was still there. He called his father in a low voice and looked at him lying on the desk, not awake at all. The big fat man shook his head disdainfully, "At such an age, but with such a drinking capacity, at your time, I can already drink too much." Wei Zhang is warm!!"
Complaining in his mouth, he walked up to Liu Mastiff, grabbed his shoulders with one hand and his legs with the other, gritted his teeth, exerted force, and his whole body was trembling, and he picked him up as if When Liu Mastiff was a child, the emperor always held him like this. Today, it was extremely difficult for the big fat man to hold him. Sweat dripped from his forehead. He held Liu Mastiff with great difficulty and walked step by step to the Hall of Houde. Next to the bed, he carefully placed him on the bed.
Looking at the sleeping Liu Mastiff, the fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This guy, looking so thin, is really not light."
When Liu Mastiff woke up the next day, he had a headache, but he remembered the conversation last night clearly. He looked around, but his father was not there. He was a little nervous, so he quickly stood up and walked out. As soon as he walked out of Houde Hall, he saw his father. He was playing with the young Princess Changling in the courtyard in front of Houde Hall. The clumsy fat man was running to avoid being chased by the little people. .
Changling smiled happily. When she caught her father, the fat man refused to admit it.
"Obviously I tripped, otherwise how could you have caught me? It doesn't count, it doesn't count!"
"My father is cheating! My father is cheating!!" Princess Changling frowned and shouted. She raised her head and saw Liu Mastiff in the distance. As if she saw a savior, she shouted loudly: "Brother!! Father, she is
