Everyone saluted seriously and said, "Keep Liu Gong's teachings in mind."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's getting late today. I'm very happy to have the opportunity to relax and talk to you all. Tomorrow morning, I'd like to ask all the officials to do their best and make arrangements for His Majesty's return to Beijing. In addition, we have to discuss Jingzhou and Xishu, and how to quell the rebellion in Lingnan, whether to suppress or pacify. It will be very hard for everyone in the next period, so it is better to rest early. We will see you in court tomorrow. Now, Liu Changshi and I are still There are some things to discuss, so I’ll take my leave.”
Everyone agreed in unison: "Farewell to Liu Zhenjun, Liu Changshi, see you tomorrow."
Half an hour later, on the outskirts of Jiankang City, Zhoushan was covered with Tan Ping's tomb.
The nearest followers and guards were scattered a hundred steps away, and the gentle night breeze ensured that no one would hear the content of the conversation between Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi standing in the small forest. Liu Yu looked at the dozens of graves in front of him, looked at Tan Pingzhi's tombstone in front of him, and murmured: "If Bo Ping could see our banquet today, I don't know how happy he would be. He was the most beautiful person during his lifetime." What I want to do is to one day make those high-ranking families who bullied him and looked down on him feel so ashamed that they can’t even see him. Fatty, you did it today, are you feeling good now?!”
Liu Muzhi smiled and gnawed on a big chicken drumstick in his hand, and threw one on the grave bag in front of him: "Damn bottle, get up and eat chicken. You used to always rob me, but today I won't rob it with you. ,I give you."
Liu Yu shook his head helplessly: "Is it appropriate for you to joke with him after the bottle has been buried?"
A trace of tears suddenly appeared in Liu Muzhi's eyes, and he shook his head: "Now I just want to give Bo Bo 10,000 chickens, but he can't eat them anymore, so I regret why I had to fight for the chicken legs with him before. "
When Liu Yu saw that the fat man was a little unstable, he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, if he doesn't eat it, I will." He grabbed a chicken drumstick from the lotus leaf paper placed by Liu Muzhi and gnawed it. While chewing, he smiled and said: "It smells so good. This is the most delicious thing at your banquet today. No other delicacy from the mountains and seas can be as good as this one. It has a familiar taste and a familiar recipe!"
Liu Muzhi raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, and murmured: "Jinnu, I am having a banquet today just to vent my anger for more than 20 years. In fact, when we succeed in establishing righteousness, as my The two brothers-in-law came to see us along with the other children of the aristocratic families. They bowed in front of our shogunate. When they bowed their heads, I already said that. Today's play is for the people of the world, especially Jiankang. The high-ranking aristocratic families in the city saw this and warned them that times have changed. They also wanted to warn the Jingba brothers not to get carried away and look down on the children of the aristocratic families once they take power. Quan, it’s hard for anyone to laugh at anyone.”
Liu Yu nodded: "I can see that you hope that the aristocratic family and the Jingba people can truly unite and become like-minded people, instead of despising each other or even being hostile to each other. The world I want is a world where no one wants to If someone bullies others casually, it will be the same no matter whether it is to aristocratic families or to Kyoba."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "But it's not easy to do this. Jinu, we haven't had a good talk together for a while. When it comes to the world, maybe you don't know what I will do before tonight. When dealing with my two brothers-in-law, it’s not a matter of persuading me or not. This feeling must be uncomfortable.”
Liu Yu smiled and said: "That's not the case. I know that you fat man will never be really narrow-minded and ruin our career for temporary revenge. It's just that your wife is afraid. To be honest, you and your wife Although we have children and we respect each other as guests, there is always something behind us. Even I know this, but she doesn’t. Maybe you should spend more time with her."
Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly and said: "If I had stayed with her more, I wouldn't have had to follow you to conquer the world. There is always a natural conflict between a man's career and a woman's family. Moreover, after all, she and I are not the same person, although I am She is a scholar, but the kind of lower class, and even if she marries me, she is still a lady from aristocratic families. If she is too close to her, there will be all kinds of mistresses from aristocratic families, and the ladies will line up to find her, and they have to use this kind of lady diplomacy Come to me to marry and get married. In the final analysis, we still have to give their family power and benefits. Even if I don't do it, the external rumors will be extremely detrimental to me and you. Thinking of this, it's better to let her feel aggrieved. What will happen in the future? I have retired from official duties and have returned home to take care of my old age. I have plenty of time to make love to my old wife."
Liu Yu nodded: "I have really worked hard for you for the great cause. I heard these days that you are living in the government office for food and accommodation. You haven't been home for several months, so you don't have to work like this."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "In times of crisis, secret enemies and secret enemies emerge in endlessly, and superficial friends and secret enemies may change at any time. Do you think I don't want to eat well and sleep well? Now I count every meal The food is all for official business."
Liu Yu said angrily: "The number of memorials for complaining to me about this matter is almost as high as one person. It has only been three months, and now there is no other complaint against our Zhenjun shogunate. There is only one complaint about you Liu Yu." Mu Zhiliu Changshi used his power for personal gain and was very arrogant. He would eat for twenty people at one meal, and he even said that he would bring some poor relatives from the countryside to have a good meal all day long, just like the one you had at the banquet today."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said, "Poor relatives in the countryside? That's interesting. Did they really say that?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, it is said that at every meal, various kinds of people will come into your house and eat with you. They are either farmers in the fields, hunters in the mountains, or wanderers in the market, and even some construction workers. Vendors and even beggars in the streets and alleys of Kangcheng. I also personally went to see it outside your house, and it is true that they are right."
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "They are all my spies, my spies. Perhaps in the eyes of those people, these lowly people are a farmer in the morning, a cook at noon, and a beggar at night. In fact, Often a person uses three disguise techniques and changes three identities."
Liu Yu's face changed slightly: "Is this necessary? Just let them take a secret passage and come to see you masked at night, right?"
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu: "My best nephew and my best spy died just one day before our army entered the city. His death was so mysterious that even the murderer has not been found yet. This is where Jian In Cannes, there are too many local snakes that I don’t know about, and there are too many terrible opponents hiding in the darkness. I would rather have people complain and report me for embezzling public funds and eating and drinking, than have another one of my subordinates die in the line of duty. But even if In this way, since entering the capital, I have lost seventeen outstanding men, seventeen!"
