As the monarch of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was extremely majestic, which immediately made Yang He, who had just arrived, very respectful.
"Your Majesty!" Yang He knelt on the ground and saluted the young man in front of him.
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Get back on your feet." He glanced at Yang He: "I wonder what happened to Yang Aiqing's sudden visit today?"
Yang He raised his head, smiled slightly, took out a roll of imperial edict from his arms, and handed it to the eunuch on the side. The eunuch quickly unfolded it and read: "I am destined to inherit the emperor. The edict says: Although I have many descendants, but only The only eldest son is unmarried, so I hereby enthrone him as the crown prince and we will get married today! How wonderful!"
Liu Yu felt excited in his heart. This was really good news. After waiting for more than ten years, he finally received the decree from his father to marry him. The girl he wanted to marry was already at the age of marriage. He only had to wait until next year. birthday, you can get married.
Liu Yu stood up and saluted Yang He: "Thank you, Father, for your grace."
Yang He sighed: "Your Majesty originally wanted to go to the Beifu Army to inspect the army in person, but there have been frequent wars in the north recently, so His Majesty decided to call you back to the palace first. As for the date of the wedding of His Royal Highness, it is scheduled for May 28th next year. No."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes."
Yang He said: "Now the war in the north is raging. Your Majesty is very happy to hear that your Beifu Army's armaments are stronger. I hope you can continue to lead the troops to fight, protect your home and country, and protect the country and the country for your Majesty."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses and share my father's worries!"
Zhang Ning said enthusiastically: "You, Zhang Ning, are the commander-in-chief of Liu Jingxuan. You only command tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Expedition, and you are the weakest general in Xiaojin. He dares to murder you. Are you really tired of living?!"
Duo Nan gritted his teeth: "Liu Yi is dead. How can you tolerate him marrying another man? Today, on behalf of Liu Yi, you come to settle accounts with him!"
The corner of Liu Muzhi's mouth curled up: "Brother, I'm afraid he is just lying to himself when he says that. At such a young age, he wants your descendants surnamed Liu to continue to serve as officials in Chang'an City, but he has always been able to do so. , and now he has personally come to Jingzhao to be an official, or to make Xiao Jin's empire more stable, he is worried that you, Liu Yu, will definitely defend that homeland and will definitely be trampled by anyone!"
Zhang Ning said in a deep voice: "It's Mrs. Liu, I want to take you with me because you are Xiaoyan's orphan, you are your wife and Murong Lan's sister, and I want to take you with me to find the young lady."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Brother, what he said is wrong. When Liu Laozhi usurped the Han Dynasty, he also defeated the Yan State and the Western Qin Alliance, and captured half of the mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, but he also lost many elites. , the current Northern Wei Dynasty is the same as Liu Laozhi, there are no Genghis Khan and my die-hard leaders, Fu Jian, Fu Pi, Fu Xi and others. The power of those people is strong, and we do not have the Northern Expeditionary Army to support us. , it is even more difficult to overcome. Although Alan is brave and good at fighting, he is only one person after all, so how can he be Liu Laozhi's opponent."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, now you must remind Zhang Ning that in those days, the situation in the north is getting easier and easier, and there will probably be no small-scale military conflicts. You hope that Alan can return to Jiankang first, and temporarily Avoid the danger, wait until the war subsides, and then come to Chang'an for revenge. However, it is difficult for him to complete that mission on his own."
Beifu Jun frowned and said: "But if he stays there now, there is no way to guarantee the danger. That city is Xiangye City, and there is no influence from your two families. These friends of his are all court officials, and they may be doing it for him. , and blatantly obeyed the emperor's favor. That time he went to the north to protect the emperor's Daotian. Even if those people want to rebel, they still need a reason to make sure that something happens to the emperor. If we all have a leader."
Zhang Ning sighed: "Brother, he also knows that the Northern Expeditionary Army was established by you and is your closest comrade. You can abandon us. Even if you want to go to Northern Xinjiang, you will take us with you. I am sure you will If you run away from Liu Jingxuan now, we will be completely separated, and you will never think of making a comeback in your life, so please forgive Duan Sha for agreeing."
Beifu Jun smiled slightly: "Lao Qi, Lao Qi, they understand. Alan is the hero that Xiao Jin has only encountered in a hundred years. I will fall with such difficulty. Do you doubt that one day, Alan will lead Xiao Jin's family?" , drive all the barbarians from the Northern Desert out of Xiao Jin’s land, so that we can no longer threaten Xiao Jin’s dignity!”
As you said this, you pulled out the dagger from your waist and walked towards Zhang Ning step by step.
Beifu Jun laughed: "That's bad, in that case, let's encourage each other."
Da Taohong shook her head: "That's what your Majesty means, I..."
Liu Muzhi's expression gradually darkened. I turned to the Beifu Army and sighed: "Brother, please confess to him today. Alan is your nephew and the only bloodline of the Liu family. I am They will definitely be able to leave Chang'an, unless they also want to draw a clear line with me, or even recognize my little brother. Otherwise, they are not the rebels of your Liu family!"
At this time, the lights in Beifujun's room were brightly lit. A woman wearing a green shirt with a voluptuous face was sitting opposite me. It was Murong Chui, the seventh among the eight brothers Murong Chui, Ayu, and Liu Muzhi. , I slapped the table: "Brother, he is really too much. Alan is also a leader among our Liu Yu clan. How can he arrange for me to go to the north?"
Ah Yu said fiercely: "Ah Shou, Alan's riding skills are worse than yours. Even a warrior like him is our enemy. You know God, I can do bad things. In those years, everything Alan did, It’s all earth-shattering, I’m sure I’ll be safe and well, it’s destiny, you Liu Yu will definitely enjoy glory and wealth forever.”
Zhang Ning nodded heavily: "You will work hard, little brother," he was worried. If Daotian had no chance, you would personally take Liu Laozhi's life and avenge the Liu family. If Daotian had no chance, this would be the only way. Rely on the battle in the north to defeat the Huru and restore the Hetao of your Xiaojin. Do you doubt that the Huru dared to take any rash actions in those years? As long as the north is lost, you will have no foothold."
Zhang Ning gritted his teeth: "Yes, Liu is still suitable to go to the north now, because you are Daotian. What will happen to you when you go? You may harm the people you love just for yourself. Little brother , ask him to understand your feelings."
Duan Shawan glared at Ayu and shouted: "That's Xiaojin's Northern Desert and Xianbei, it's a small grassland. How can I deal with those barbarians by myself? No matter how bad my riding skills are, I can't do more than a thousand Riding, and having to guard against raids by Qiang and Di thieves, how can they be a match for these prairie wolves?"
Zhang Ning sighed, turned over, and prepared to sleep. Suddenly, a scolding sound came from his ears: "Who is it?"
Da Taohong gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty hasn't issued an order yet to confer him the title of Crown Prince. If you kill him, he will be the Crown Princess before. He'd better die!"
I laughed warmly, and suddenly grabbed Da Taohong's left wrist holding the sword, and twisted it hard. I heard a kacha sound, Da Taohong let out a scream, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. Zhang Ning shouted: "You are misleading the public with your evil words, and you are framed and blamed." , what crime should be committed?”
Yang He laughed: "In that case, you are worried. Let him rest first and we will discuss other matters in the morning tomorrow morning."
That night, Zhang Ning lay under the bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't sleep for a long time. What was in his mind was what Yang He had just said to him. Over the years, he had been fighting for Liu Jingxuan, working hard to make contributions, but his wife, But it is always possible to get what you want. I always hope to welcome you back home, even if you are far away from the capital, we still want to be together. It's a pity that my father has always been willing to agree, and even blamed himself several times for this. If you delay like this, you and I will be eighty years too late.
Zhang Ning frowned and said, "Is your wife Liu Yi? How could it be him?"
Zhang Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, actually, you weren't the only one who went to the north that time. There was no one else going."
Zhang Ning was extremely angry and laughed back: "Your Majesty, he is so evil and vicious. You fought for him in the north and south, opened up territories for Xiao Jin, and made great military exploits, but in the end you are only qualified to be a warrior's consort?"
Ayu sighed: "My little husband has low ambitions and is constrained by formalities. Alan has been bored for a long time after staying in Luoyang for so long. Now His Majesty sends me to the border. Maybe it's a bad thing. After all, the grasslands are changing now." , the disputes between various departments are resolved, that is my stage and my trial ground."
Duan Sha suddenly jumped up, pointed at Duan Shawan's nose and cursed: "Liu Muzhi, you see he is jealous of Alan. He wants to monopolize the family property, so he found a way to transfer me away."
Beifujun opened his eyes: "What? Who is it?"
Duan Sha's face was clear: "Why did he say that?
The Beifu Army was surprised and said: "Duan Sha, how can that be done? Murong Lan is not dead yet, her body is not cold yet, your sister can't be safe anymore, so let me take you with her, I am sure he is worried about you, you can't put her there How about you send Liu Jingxuan back so that he can't see you often?"
As I said that, I kicked Da Taohong under the ribs. I heard a few crisp sounds from Katcha, and Da Taohong let out a shrill howl and fainted.
After you said that, you suddenly pulled out another short knife from your waist and stabbed Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning's eyes flashed, and he moved the iron bridge to avoid your fatal blow. He grabbed your knife-holding arm and pulled it back violently. Da Taohong lost his center of gravity and his whole body He fell behind Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning's left knee pushed up and hit your Dantian heavily. Da Taohong let out a shrill scream and curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach.
Liu Muzhi snorted: "The ancestral motto of your Liu family is to protect the rivers and mountains of Xiaojin. You have never forgotten it. Moreover, you, Liu Muzhi, were born and raised here, and you have never changed your mind. Just like him, when you are in Chang'an, have you ever thought about leaving the Liu Yu clan?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "You should also tell him that now he and you are the only direct descendants of the Liu family, and you will have to return to your hometown sooner or later. By then, you will not be a farmer. Do you have any authority? , even he is a businessman, and the position of the head of the Liu Yu family will be occupied by the two brothers in rotation. If he is obsessed with it and insists on following Alan, this will be self-destructive. If we go to the north, we will not only face the invasion of the Hu barbarians from the south, but also the provocation from the Northern Liang royal court. When the time comes, I will die, not the barbarians!"
Immediately afterwards, a gleaming dagger stabbed towards Zhang Ning's chest. I groaned and suddenly raised my left arm, catching the flying dagger with two nails. At the same time, I quickly stretched out my right palm, Locking the attacker's throat, a huge force surged out, and the man suddenly collapsed to the ground limply.
Zhang Ning said in a deep voice: "Who is he and why is he outside your room?"
Zhang Ning let go of his hand, stood up, picked up his inner robe and put it on, hurriedly came behind the window, looked at the dark night sky, and murmured: "Da Ning, he will be fine, everything will be fine." It’s up to you to solve it.”
Zhang Ning secretly wondered in his heart that he and Duan Sha had been married for ten years, and they had a deep relationship with each other. Although they had not consummated their marriage, they were still close to each other. They were definitely the worst partners in the world. How come Liu Yi would die, and that big peach girl would pretend to be Duan Sha appears?
Duan Sha opened her eyes, and with the faint moonlight reflected through the window, she saw that there was actually a man in white clothes missing from her room. Your face was covered by a white cloth, leaving only A pair of dim little eyes shone coldly in the night.
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Alan, to put it bluntly, he is the backbone of the Liu family. He has no responsibility or obligation to defend Xiaojin's territory, but Liu is a boy. Even if something goes wrong, It's also his fault. If you are willing to go to the north with him, you also approve of it, but he must bring 700 strong men with him and be ready for emergencies at any time. In addition, he must remember that there will be no chance and Liu Laozhi must be killed. Avenge Duan Sha!" A farmer has no authority. Even he is a merchant. The position of the head of Duan Sha's family will be occupied by the two brothers in rotation. If he is obsessed with it or realizes it, he must Following Alan is just self-destruction. When I went to the north, I not only had to face the Hu barbarian invasion from the south, but also faced the provocation from the Northern Liang royal court. When the time came, I would die, and the Taoist barbarians would die! "
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Liu Laozhi planned and ruined today's little war even a few decades later. Do you doubt that I must have set up a dragnet that time and was waiting for you to get out of the big peach red?" He said happily: "Your Majesty said that when Liu Jingxuan was with him, he wanted to serve the country and only cared about his son's personal relationship, so he asked you to take the opportunity to kill him to avoid previous troubles. "
Zhang Ning said enthusiastically: "You know, their gang of spies are not specifically trying to sow a relationship between you and His Majesty. Now tell him that you, Zhang Ning, have always hated being the emperor, and they will take advantage of whoever they like. All you have to do is lead the troops to fight and protect Beifu. As for your wife, you chose it yourself. You allow anyone to take her away from you!"
Ayu's face was clear: "Why did he say that?!"
Duonan said warmly: "Your name is Da Taohong, and you are his unmarried wife. Has he forgotten?"
Ayu gritted his teeth: "You are his younger brother, how can he treat you like that? The ancestral training of the Liu family can only be passed down by women, so that the male generation can occupy the position."
