Liu Huaisu looked at Liu Yu motionlessly and said: "Brother Jinu, I have no children. I have already agreed with my third brother to let Wei Zu come and inherit. This is not only for my family, but also for the entire family. If I do this If I leave and there is no successor, then my title will be gone, which is also not good for your great cause."
Liu Yu sighed softly: "Now you are the Marquis of Dongxing County, with thousands of households in the city. Among the generals in the Beifu, you are second only to the three giants and Daogui, Tieniu and other veterans. But you are risking your life. Whatever I fight back, I will definitely keep it for you, but..."
Having said this, Liu Yu paused: "Weizu is only seven years old now and cannot yet perform meritorious service in battle. Although Rongzu is Huaishen's eldest son, you have loved this child since he was a child and have strictly trained him in martial arts and military skills. We also won the martial arts leader in the fighting competition in Jingkou the year before last. If you want to succeed, why don't you find him?"
Liu Huaisu shook his head: "We country people don't have much respect for concubines or direct descendants. If Huaishen hadn't been too poor before, he wouldn't have married a maid and gave birth to Rongzu. This poor woman would have died long ago. Rongzu is left helpless. If I, the uncle, don't take him in, he won't be able to gain a foothold in the Huaishen family. Not all stepmothers are as reasonable and reasonable as your mother."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But Rongzu is lucky to have you as his uncle. You raised him as your own son, taught him martial arts, and let him grow up. In my opinion, he has no respect for his biological father. It’s not good for you.”
Liu Huaisu sighed: "When my mother-in-law was pregnant with her first child, she was poor and had no meat to eat. In the end, her body was injured due to dystocia, and she was unable to conceive again. And I have never taken a concubine because we are a couple in need and can't bear to let her down." . Therefore, she has always regarded Rongzu as her own son. But the more this happens, the less I can let Rongzu directly inherit my title."
Liu Yu frowned: "Why is this? I can't think of any other reason."
Liu Huaisu curled up his lips: "Because Rongzu is good enough. His martial arts and military skills are no longer inferior to mine. He will definitely be able to work hard on his own in the future. And his character is also similar to mine. He is arrogant and arrogant." , is unwilling to accept charity from others. If this title is given to him like this, he will feel insulted. This is the man of our old Liu family, a real man!"
Liu Yu laughed: "Indeed, he is a real man. But although Weizu is young, he is also learning martial arts and literature. Now he goes to school with Xingdi and the others every day, but I heard that his martial arts skills have not fallen behind. You want to adopt Weizu? Aren’t you afraid of facing the same problem?”
Liu Huaisu sighed: "Brother Jinu, let me tell you the truth. Your Northern Expedition will not take more than ten years. Now Rongzu can follow you to conquer all directions and make achievements, but Weizu has even smaller virtues." , they, they may not be able to wait until then. Moreover, if you want to surpass Xile and Wuji, you have to let your brothers, nephews, and nephews build their achievements. And now the Liu family, the Zhao family, and the Xiao family , including the nominal adult men of the Zang family, how many are available?"
Liu Yu's brows furrowed deeply: "Huaisu, I'm really touched. Even now, you are still thinking about the future of our Liu family."
Liu Huaisu gritted his teeth: "Brother Jinu, I know that you are the most loyal and kind to your brothers, but don't forget that the friendship between brothers can never be compared to the bond of blood, just like when you were a child, My biological mother died early and had no milk. If it weren’t for the fact that our two families are brothers and sisters of the Liu family and the Zhao family at the same time, and we are closely related to each other, my mother, my mother, how could she have cut off the milk supply of Huai Jing? , come to feed you? Fighting tigers, fighting tigers, brothers, go, father and son go into battle, father and son soldiers, I, I..." When he said this, the blackness on his face became more intense, and he coughed violently, unexpectedly I can't say any more.
Liu Yu quickly helped Liu Huaisu up and rubbed his chest and back. After doing this for a long time, Liu Huaisu let out a sigh of relief. Liu Yu helped him lie down and said softly: "Huaisu, don't be too excited. Your I understand what you mean. I will definitely consider taking care of our Liu family. In the future, I will keep Rongzu by my side and give him the opportunity to make contributions. Weizu will inherit your title and Huaishen. Become the Sheriff."
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Huaisu's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "No, Huai Jing, how can he be like this..."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Isn't it because of me that he is like this? If it weren't for the fact that my aunt weaned him off his milk in order to breastfeed me, how could he be here today? I can let Daolian be the one Pengcheng's internal history can give Huaishen the position of county governor and internal history. To show the world!"
Liu Huaisu sighed: "But if you employ people without knowing it and receive salary without merit, doesn't it destroy the rules you personally set? How can you convince the public like this?"
Liu Yu sighed: "It's not like he broke the rules. Dao Lian also joined our army in Jingkou and fought in the battle. I gave him a part of my military merit. In this Western Expedition, Liu Yi also gave a lot of military merit to him. Those children of aristocratic families who sit in the rear and do not go to the battlefield in person can do this, so why can’t I take care of my family? Now that Huai Jing has not done any meritorious service, it is not easy to give him an official title, but I promise you, when I go to the Northern Expedition in the future , I will definitely take him with me, and I will definitely give him military honors!"
A hint of joy flashed across Liu Huaisu's face: "Then I would like to thank Brother Jinu. With your words, I can rest in peace even if I die."
Liu Yu's expression changed and he quickly said: "Huaisu, be careful what you say. Don't say anything nonsense!"
Liu Huaisu smiled slightly: "Okay, Brother Jinu, there is no need to say this. While I still have the strength, I want to tell you that our old Liu family, our old Liu family still has people who can be used, Huaishen, Huaishen Although he is taciturn, he, his bravery is no less than mine, and the art of war, the art of war is also very strong. In the past, he has always followed me, just like the Taoist rules have always been behind you, unknown to everyone, in the future , In the future, you can use Huaishen more, use more, use Rongzu more, they, they will not let you down, they will not, they will not bring shame to our old Liu family!"
Liu Yu said seriously: "I know Huai Shen is very capable, so I have always made him your deputy. From now on, I will let him take over your military duties, lead your troops, and continue the war. You can rest assured."
Liu Huaisu breathed a sigh of relief: "In addition, my brother Liu Zunkao, although he is young, only eighteen or nineteen years old, is also a famous brave warrior in Jingkou, and your uncle Zhao Lunzhi, who is both civil and military, can be of great use. In addition, , from the Zang family, Er Xizi from the Zang family, and Xiao Taozi, all of whom have been in the army for many years and have good experience. These, these are our family members. Brother Jinu, you, you must measure it carefully. Talent, use it according to your talent!”
At this point, his face suddenly glowed red, and he sat up straight: "Brother Jinu, when you take back Chang'an, remember, remember to take me to see..." His finger pointed into the distance, his face There was still a smile on his face, but he was motionless and breathless!
Liu Yu was already in tears and nodded vigorously: "Brother, eldest brother will definitely take you to Chang'an!"
