Hearing this, Zhang Liang glanced sideways at Lu Pheasant——
If it is a true edict, it is not necessary to obey it. This seems to have the same spirit as King Chen Sheng's "Princes, princes and generals are willing to be at peace with each other".
Even to the ignorant Zhang Zifang, these words were a bit sensational. She realized that she had made a mistake, concealed a smile, and changed the subject.
"I still don't know something, and I want to ask sir.
I believe that Mr. Liu Fei is well aware of his intention to go to Longxi.
I just don’t know what method your husband used to get him under his command? "
Ever since she was reborn, she has always been elusive about the eldest prince who was having a secret affair.
Liu Fei was tall and tall, but he seemed to be innocent and honest, and he was never confused at critical moments. Even with Lu Fei's sharp eyesight, it was impossible to tell whether he really wanted the throne that was coveted by thousands of people. Not tempted at all.
Being so good at covering up and hiding himself is probably related to his inconvenient life experience.
Although Liu Fei is the eldest son in the family, he was born from an affair between Liu Ji and Widow Cao from his hometown in his early years. After his birth, Widow Cao was alone and busy with her livelihood and could not take care of him. Liu Fei had to grow up with Liu Ji. The father doesn't care for the mother, so it's all up to Taigong Liu to raise her.
After Lu Fei married into the Liu family, he took over the responsibility of taking care of the family from his grandfather. She felt pity for this illegitimate child who already existed, and she never shortchanged him in food and drink.
Later, Lu Yuan and Liu Ying were born one after another, and Liu Ji took advantage of the changing situation at the end of Qin Dynasty and threw himself into the torrent of competition in the Central Plains, leaving his father and family behind in Peixian County.
During the difficult years, Liu Fei always regarded himself as the eldest brother of the family. He took care of the farm work outside and cared for his younger brothers and sisters at home. Although he was not a biological child of Lu Fei, he got along with their mother and son day and night, working hard in everything, which can be regarded as true love in times of adversity. .
However, whether the true love of life and death can withstand the torture of the most ruthless emperor's family, Lu Fei couldn't see clearly for a while, and Tai Shigong was also unclear.

"Haha, this is it.
When the eldest prince returns from Longxi, he has no merit but hard work. Therefore, a great gift from heaven, decorated with flowers and brocade and cooked with burning oil, is about to befall him.
This happy event seems to be a blessing of great wealth, but in fact it hides great danger. "
When Liu Fei first arrived in the northwest, his behavior was still dandy, and he was quite disapproving of his visits to military households. Despite this, he still acted as master and disciple, and was very respectful to Zhang Liang at all times.
"During this period, the old minister was unaccustomed to the local environment and fell ill several times. The eldest prince was still waiting day and night with all his clothes on. With this feeling, I couldn't help but give him a few words."
Zhang Liang's face was bright and he was obviously quite confident in his "instructions".
The two of them were busy talking, looking at the school field without paying attention. Suddenly, the red silk ball was hit by someone and rolled straight towards them.
Polo, also known as polo, was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. From royal dignitaries and border generals to common people, even palace ladies and wealthy women all loved polo.
Lu Pheasant in the previous life was even better at this. At that time, because donkeys were docile and smaller than horses, in order to make it easier for women to ride, donkeys were used instead of horses. In addition to polo, donkey bows were also developed.
However, she had been competitive since she was a child and wanted to ride a horse to not lag behind others. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that riding a donkey and playing ball was not as majestic as riding a tall horse.
I still remember that at that time, large polo fields could be seen everywhere in Chang'an Palace City, Daming Palace East Garden, Longshou Pond, etc., as well as in the residential areas of senior officials such as Jing Tea House and Yong Chongfang.
Those courts are square and flat, with a length and width of a thousand steps. They are surrounded by three low walls and covered with swaggering red flags. The fourth side is built with exquisite temples, pavilions, buildings, platforms and other ornamental ornaments. Resting place.
Before entering the palace, she was young and vigorous. She boasted that she was invincible in all the noble houses in the east of Chang'an City. She often made appointments with a few bold girls from rich families, and went to the golf course in the village where the Hu people lived, and met with the excellent horseman Hu. Men and women compete in football skills.
Mrs. Hu was taller, had longer arms, and was stronger than them. Whenever the little sisters lost, they would go home disgraced and dejected, swearing to win back next time.
Later, she became a queen and a saint, but no one dared to beat her on the polo field.
Being a victorious general who did not deserve the name was really boring, so she could only sigh and gradually put aside this hobby.

At this moment, seeing the ball rolling towards him, Lu Pheasant was delighted to see the hunting spirit. He felt itchy for a moment and reached out to the palace man to get a crescent-shaped stick with gold on black background. He moved his shoulders and arms a few times and waved the stick as he walked. In front of the ball, he turned to Zhang Liang and asked,
"Master, which team's ball is this?"
"It's Li Jian's team's turn to kick off,"
Zhang Liang replied quickly. Seeing that her face was full of doubts, he immediately pointed with his hand.
"Here, it's the team with the green silk wrapped around his right arm.
The young man in charge is called Li Jian, and he is the best horseman among the younger generation of the Li family in Longxi. "
"Okay, Li Jian, you've got it right -" Before Zhang Liang could finish her words, she leaned forward, secretly exerting force on her back, and struck out with all her strength.
The red silk ball rotated rapidly in the air, drew a strange and exquisite arc, and flew towards the people on the horse. Seeing that the ball was coming with such force, Li Jian did not dare to neglect it. He raised his stick to meet it early, relieved half of the force on the ball, and then passed it to his companion.
Everyone drank well and dispersed. Lu Pheasant smiled and clapped his hands together a few times, threw the bow stick back to the palace servants, and stared straight at Zhang Liangwen,
"I understand the big danger you mentioned. However, I thought that Mr. Tao Zhugong, who has always refused to help each other and only wanted to be the Tao Zhugong of idle clouds and wild cranes, is like a boat without ties. Why is he suddenly willing to help Liu Fei?"
This was her confusion in the past six months. It seemed to be about Liu Fei, but in fact it was because she wanted to find out more about the old man in front of her.
***
Zhang Liang in the history books has been living in seclusion since Liu Ji became emperor. He rarely appeared in court activities after entering the Han Dynasty. In the end, he concentrated on practicing Taoism. He was not only deaf to political affairs, but also simply ignored the fireworks of the world.
And now Zhang Liang, who holds the prestigious and noble position of Taifu, has taken the trouble to travel around the northwest. He has accumulated enough merit and illness, and his old and weak body is obvious to all.
At this moment, he is only one step away from the success he dreams of, so why should he get involved in the power field again?
"Well, I originally planned to travel around the world, but now I'm still thinking carefully about raising horses,"
Zhang Liang said mockingly, feeling a little confused in his heart.
“I think it’s probably because of the influence of you guys.
The Lao Chen family has been in the Han Dynasty for five generations and has met many princes and generals. Although the founding of the Han Dynasty is difficult and ups and downs, if you think about it carefully, it is an unprecedented situation. "
The emperor cherishes the power of the people, the queen is smart and resolute, the prime minister is not greedy for money, and the generals are not afraid of death. The good sons of the six counties only want to fight in the desert, and even Zhong Lihuan dares to take risks with his own life to achieve a career for the righteousness of his family and country.
With his old body, he watched day by day, but he couldn't help but feel itchy, and wanted to perform it again. No matter whether he succeeded or failed, his time in this world was not in vain.
Zhang Liang's wrinkled old face showed a kind smile. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. Through the layers of palaces, he seemed to see the clouds and mists on the Qilian Mountains that had not dispersed for thousands of years.
"Besides, the government is not at peace. Even if the old man becomes a rich man, he will not be able to live a secure life."
