"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials present kept shouting, and the people in front of them knelt forward, eager to give advice.
However, regarding the most sensitive issue, Liu Zhiyuan still chose to avoid it, and decisively left everyone behind and walked to the second hall without missing the excited shouts of civil and military officials in the hall. Liu Zhiyuan retreated, but the civil and military officers from Hedong were still kneeling there. They couldn't control their emotions, but the principal was not there, and they looked helpless.
At this time, Liu Chengxun, who was kneeling in front, stood up, calmed down, turned around and clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Masters, please get up." Liu Chengyou noticed that his eldest brother behaved like a master, his eyelids drooped, and he stood up silently.
After Liu Chengxun spoke, the others stopped kneeling and stood up one after another. The buzz of discussion continued in the hall. Su Fengji took two steps closer to Liu Chengxun, raised his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the king has always loved you. If the current situation is like this, please give me more advice and let the king shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country!"
Su Fengji's words once again aroused "resonance". Hearing this, Liu Xin, the reckless man, also said to Liu Chengxun in a rough voice: "Da Lang, Judge Su is right. You should persuade your brother more. You are father and son, and you can say anything easily. In this world, , besides him, who else is qualified to be the emperor, let him stop being humble..."
One by one they made suggestions, and the room suddenly became noisy, which actually suppressed Liu Chengxun. As the "head of the civil servants" of the Administrative Office, Yang Bing came out and coughed several times to attract everyone's attention. He looked around and said: "Everyone, listen to what Yang said, this matter cannot be urgent. Listen to the king, everyone should go to their own places first. You must keep the government office running smoothly and avoid any trouble."
"..."
The group of people had a heated discussion, but without Liu Zhiyuan's response, they still ended up with no results and dispersed. After leaving the table, Hedong Wenwu walked together in twos and threes and kept talking.
"What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" Shi Hongzhao walked with Guo Wei, who had always been friends with him, and asked him with a puzzled face: "We have come to this point, why are you still hesitating?"
"Brother Huayuan, don't be anxious." Guo Wei didn't look surprised. He came closer to Shi Hongzhao and whispered: "This is a major event that establishes the country. It cannot be decided hastily. Your Majesty is a little worried and hesitant. , it’s normal.”
"That being said, how long will it take to do this? If someone else takes the lead, you'll be at a disadvantage!" Shi Hongzhao's tone always sounded impatient, and he really wanted to give Liu Zhiyuan a hand immediately. Put on the yellow robe.
"Brother Huayuan doesn't need to worry too much about this. Today, the town of Xiaxia is exhausted, and the Central Plains and Hebei are all under the eyes of the Khitans. Only Hedong is uniquely endowed by nature, and no other force can match it!" Guo Wei waved his hand and said easily: "Moreover, haven't you noticed the change in the king's attitude? This time, he is not angrily refusing like before..."
Hearing what Guo Wei said, Shi Hongzhao put away his impatient expression, thought for a while, and then asked in an uncertain tone: "I don't care about this. Well, what are you waiting for?"
At this time, Guo Wei showed a faint smile, walked leisurely, glanced at Shi Hongzhao from the corner of his eye, his deep eyes were full of meaning: "I heard something, Zhang Yanwei, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Longqi Army, is secretly Are the commanders and envoys from Earth and Jinyang working together to plan something big?"
Hearing this, his face changed slightly, and he turned to stare at Guo Wei, who also looked at him with a natural expression. The two looked at each other for a short while, but Shi Hongzhao was the first to look away: "Did that old man Chang Si tell you?"
Guo Wei smiled and did not answer. Seeing this, Shi Hongzhao spread his hands and said, "I won't hide it from Wen Zhong. This is indeed the case!" After saying this, Shi Hongzhao couldn't help but clenched his fists: "I can't say it. We have to rely on our brothers. The king has been forced to ascend the throne!"
Hearing the "military advice" in Shi Hongzhao's tone, Guo Wei quickly stopped him: "Hey! Brother Huayuan, please don't be impatient!"
"I'll just tell you. By the way, Brother Wen Zhong, just be aware of the connection. We are still planning it, so don't let it out!" In explanation, Shi Hongzhao did not forget to ask Guo Wei A word of caution.
Looking at Shi Hongzhao's careful look, Guo Wei suddenly felt that this man's caution seemed so "simple", but he echoed: "Brother Huayuan, don't worry, Guo has never been a talkative person!"
After the two separated, Guo Wei regained his cautious expression, and silently sighed in his heart: "Behind Zhang Yanwei, there should be the push of Liu Jiaerlang. This guy has been silent and done nothing from beginning to end, but his actions are... It’s not vague at all…”
In fact, from the very beginning, when Liu Chengyou asked Zhang Yanwei to go out to contact the armies, he had no intention of deliberately concealing his actions. After all, he was not plotting anything evil. As for Shi Hongzhao, he thought he was plotting big things and didn't want the news to leak out, but he was a little cute and a little ridiculous.
On Liu Chengyou's side, after leaving the hall, he quickened his pace and found Wang Jun: "General Xiufeng, wait a minute."
Liu Chengyou admitted that his attitude was kind after all, but his harsh tone and grimace made it difficult to control his attitude. Turning around and looking at Liu Chengyou's solemn face, Wang Jun was puzzled and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "I wonder what your orders are?"
Liu Chengyou looked at Wang Jun. This man was in the prime of life. He was thin but very strong. He was still carrying the dust of traveling, and although he was tired from the long journey, he was very energetic, with a strong sense of confidence in his small eyes.
"Instructions are out of the question." Liu Chengyou's voice was calm and steady as he walked to Wang Jun: "The general has sent Bianliang back. I am very curious about the situation of the Khitan people and the situation in the Central Plains, and I would like to ask the general for advice!"
"I don't dare to ask for advice." After hearing the question, Wang Jun showed a reserved smile and nodded slightly: "If you have questions, just speak up. The general will tell you everything he knows, and he will tell you everything."
Upon seeing this, Liu Chengyou's eyebrows jumped with satisfaction, and he pointed to the east and said, "If you don't mind, come to my place for a cup of hot tea?"
"Please!" Liu Chengyou's young and mature performance made Wang Jun feel strange in his heart, and he raised his hand to signal.
Liu Chengyou's courtyard is as quiet as ever. The servants are busy with their work in an orderly manner under strict rules. In the small hall, the two of them were sitting across from each other. A pot of fragrant tea had been brewed, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance of tea.
Wang Jun glanced at the simple furnishings in the hall, then looked at Liu Chengyou, who was dressed in ink, and couldn't help but sigh: "Who would have thought that Pu She, with his noble status, would live in such a simple place! I really admire you!"
Liu Chengyou was waiting for guests, and his beloved concubine Geng was also by his side. She was dressed in a plain floral dress and had a peaceful smile on her fair face. The little finger was slightly raised, holding the teapot with a hand as clean as green jade, and elegantly poured a cup of tea for Liu Chengyou, and then poured it for Wang Jun himself. Then he sat quietly aside, his well-behaved appearance was very endearing.
"It's enough for the general to treat guests with just tea and water!" Liu Chengyou extended his hand to Wang Jun to signal.
"Don't dare, thank you." Wang Jun took it, looking very graceful.
Liu Chengyou said nothing for a while, so the two began to sip the tea in "tacit agreement". The room was so quiet that the sound of sipping water was very obvious. During the scene, it seemed that Liu Chengyou really just invited Wang Jun to have tea.
After finishing the cup of tea, Wang Jun frowned unnaturally. He glanced at Liu Chengyou, who was sitting An Ran with a steady expression, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Wang Jun's patience was actually not as full as he showed. When Geng refilled his teacup again, there was already a hint of impatience on his face. Liu Chengyou finally spoke: "If Hedong sends troops to seize the world, in the opinion of the general, what should we do?"
