"Fu Gong!" On the way to the Long Live Hall, Liu Chengyou happened to bump into Fu Yanqing and immediately said hello.
Hearing this, Fu Yanqing immediately put away the daze in his eyes, looked at Liu Chengyou, and solemnly returned the salute: "His Royal Highness."
"Mr. Fu, is this the end of the meeting?" Liu Chengyou exchanged pleasantries with him.
Fu Yanqing replied: "I am truly honored to see your face."
"Guan Fu Gong's eyebrows were serious, as if he was worried. Gu Qie asked abruptly, what happened, and can I help?" Liu Chengyou paid attention to Fu Yanqing's expression and asked kindly, with an obvious intention to close the relationship.
Fu Yanqing also observed Liu Chengyou, who was wearing a decent Gun dragon robe. With the blessing of his position of power, he was obviously more handsome. He was still young, but there was no trace of childishness on Liu Chengyou's face.
He could feel Liu Chengyou's intention to win over him, but after hearing his question, Fu Yanqing couldn't help but think to himself, doesn't His Highness the Prince know?
Although he was muttering in his heart, Fu Yanqing was very docile in his attitude. His face was full of sadness and he said: "It's nothing. Your Majesty gave me a favor, and I was flattered, so I am hesitant."
"The grace that can make Mr. Fu hesitate is really not small when you think about it!" Liu Chengyou said, but the curiosity in his eyes became even heavier.
After opening his mouth, Fu Yanqing did not say anything directly. He bowed to Liu Chengyou again and said, "If Your Highness has something important to see Your Majesty, I will leave now if I don't want to disturb you too much!"
"Fu Gong, walk slowly!"
Looking at Fu Yanqing's steadily leaving figure, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly. Fu Yanqing's reaction was a bit strange, especially the way he looked at him before leaving...
"I see the official's house." Enter the palace and pay homage.
"Ping Shen, you can avoid these vulgar etiquette." Liu Zhiyuan said softly.
Unlike in front of Fu Yanqing, Liu Zhiyuan was currently sitting on the couch, huddled in the quilt, leaning on the pillow, his appearance obviously declining. Looking at his heroic son in front of the bed, his face was solemn, but his energy was booming, and a trace of satisfaction could not help but show in his old eyes.
"Father, please take care of the dragon body!" Seeing Liu Zhiyuan about to get up, Liu Chengyou personally stepped forward and helped him sit up. He looked at his father's slightly white lips and said softly with concern.
"It's okay, I can still hold on!" Liu Zhiyuan was indifferent. Although he did not hide his old age, his tone and expression still carried the stubbornness and majesty of the head of his family and country.
"I have heard about your actions in supervising the government. I am very satisfied with your calmness and prudence!" Liu Zhiyuan praised.
"I didn't disappoint my father, but I felt a lot relieved." Liu Chengyou behaved very humbly.
"I heard that it has been decided to send troops to Guanzhong?" Liu Zhiyuan asked in a positive tone.
Liu Chengyou nodded: "Jing'er discussed with the ministers and appointed Wang Jun as Fengxiang's inspection envoy, leading five thousand forbidden troops to Guanzhong to join forces with the Guanyou army to resist the invasion of the Shu army. The troops and horses have been mobilized to Tongguan in the early stage. This morning Wang Junye has already set out on his way to the west."
"Wang Xiufeng is a talented person. He has served as an envoy and accompanied the army over the years. He is very capable. Although it is his first time to act alone, his talents are enough to reassure the court." Liu Zhiyuan cheered up and commented in the manner of an old father:
"In the case of Guanyou, although external troubles are urgent, internal worries are at the forefront. As long as Hou Yi does not join the enemy, the situation will not deteriorate easily."
"The iron certificate of elixir and the edict of exoneration have been sent to Fengxiang and delivered to Hou Yi. The court is so graceful. If Hou Yi still harbors disloyal intentions, no matter how difficult the country's affairs are, he will grit his teeth and put an end to it once and for all! "Liu Chengyou said calmly, obviously he had already made mental preparations.
After nodding his head, Liu Zhiyuan still sighed and said, "It's just that the Imperial Army is marching westward, just because the marquis is jealous and rebels!"
However, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and clenched his fist, and said resolutely: "The imperial court cannot always be so defensive, and cannot rely on Hou Yi's attitude to control the situation in Guanyou. Therefore, it is imperative for the imperial army to advance westward, regardless of Fengxiang's reaction. No matter what, the imperial court must take the initiative in its hands!"
"I feel so relieved to see my son like this!" Liu Zhiyuan sighed with emotion at Liu Chengyou's reaction. While he was pleased, his eyes could not help but reveal a hint of desolation, giving Liu Chengyou the feeling of a hero in his twilight years.
He also reported several political matters to Liu Zhiyuan, solicited his opinions, and followed his teachings. Naturally, all of them were approved by Liu Zhiyuan. In fact, Liu Zhiyuan's political ability was not very good. Previously, he had only entrusted Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, Su Fengji and others. Major government affairs were basically implemented after Liu Chengyou discussed with the ministers, so even if Liu Chengyou consulted with him, Liu Zhiyuan would not be able to come up with any better solution under normal circumstances.
Liu Chengyou's patient report, in addition to informing him about the situation of supervising the country, was naturally also for show. The more sensitive this moment is, the more critical it is, the more we cannot relax to make Liu Zhiyuan feel at ease. The emperor has not died yet. As a prince, he cannot be arbitrary or act too anxious. In the past two days, Yang Bin has been running very diligently towards Long Live Hall.
A wave of tiredness appeared on his face again, and Liu Zhiyuan asked: "I heard that you have had a fierce dispute with Yang and Shi on military affairs these days?"
After saying this, he couldn't help but cough a few times, and Liu Chengyou immediately sat beside the couch and pushed his back. After he felt much better, he said: "My son, Prime Minister Yang, they just have different political views and a dispute over their ideas. They are all for the stability of the country and the smooth flow of government affairs. It is not a big deal."
Seeing Liu Chengyou speaking easily, Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief silently, pondered for a moment, looked at him and said: "Yang and Shi are both the pillars of the country, and they are in charge of military and political affairs. You still need their support. It's okay to have different political opinions, but in all cases Don't make the scene too ugly and affect the unity of the court. As the prince, you should know how to cooperate with civil and military forces to help each other and overcome difficulties..."
"My son, please obey your instructions!" No matter what he thought in his heart, Liu Chengyou always showed respect to Liu Zhiyuan.
"Official, it's time to take medicine." At this time, the chamberlain came to report.
Soon, the imperial doctor who was accompanying the Long Live Hall entered, followed by the medicine attendant, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, which was steaming and smelling of medicine.
"You guys, please stand down!" After testing the medicine first, there was no difference. Liu Chengyou took the medicine bowl and asked them to stand down.
Li went to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for Liu Zhiyuan, so Liu Chengyou decided to serve the decoction himself.
Although the medicine had added sugar, it still tasted bad. Under Liu Chengyou's service, Liu Zhiyuan took a few sips with a grimace on his face, and then lost interest in drinking the medicine.
He looked at Liu Chengyou and said, "I have found a princess for you."
Liu Chengyou was slightly surprised when he suddenly heard this. He immediately thought of Fu Yanqing's strange behavior just now and asked, "I wonder which lady my father likes?"
"The eldest daughter of Princess Qi!" Liu Zhiyuan said.
"This..." Hearing this, Liu Chengyou showed no joy on his face, but showed a trace of hesitation: "The Fu family's daughter has promised Li Shouzhen's son in Hezhong, isn't it appropriate?"
"What's wrong!" Liu Zhiyuan took the silk scarf, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's just a piece of engagement paper, it's annulled!"
Liu Chengyou still shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Liu Zhiyuan was surprised: "Do you think the Fu family daughter is not worthy of being your crown princess?"
"Of course not!"
"Then what worries do you have!" Liu Chengyou hesitated. It was so different from before that Liu Zhiyuan was a little impatient. In fact, Liu Zhiyuan's patience has been poor since he became seriously ill.
"The Fu and Li families had a marriage contract. If the marriage was stolen and spread, it would be wrong, and Li Shouzhen would definitely be hated. At present, the situation in Guanzhong is endangered, and the river is a strategic place. If Li Shouzhen is forced to rebel, he will lead Pu If the army crosses the river to the west, it will be a disaster for Guanzhong and the entire Han Dynasty!" Liu Chengyou expressed his worries.
Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan was not so relaxed. He sat up in shock while he was dying, took a breath and said, "I didn't think about this matter!"
"Now that I have made it clear to Fu Yanqing, what can I do?"
Liu Chengyou sighed, as if it was a pity, but calmly replied: "The daughter of the Fu family is qualified to be the princess. I heard that Mr. Fu has three daughters. In addition to the eldest daughter who came to Beijing, there is also a second daughter. , is twenty-eight years old, smart and smart, if you want to win over Mr. Fu and marry Mr. Fu, you can ask for the second daughter!"
After listening to Liu Chengyou's words, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that this was a good solution. However, after thinking deeply, he still shook his head: "I have made a marriage contract, how can I change it? If it is as you said, how can I save my face?"
Isn't it just to change the eldest daughter to the second daughter? Liu Chengyou really doesn't know what Liu Zhiyuan is struggling with, just for the sake of face? Moreover, if they each marry a daughter, they will become brothers-in-law, and they can also take advantage of the situation to appease the other side of the river. I have long heard that since "Brother Du" Du Chongwei met the end of being executed, Li Shouzhen was in a state of panic in the river.
Although Dafu's "famous" is very big, it would be fine if it were normal times, but when the situation in Guanzhong is urgent, compared with the stability of the country, a woman will not make Liu Chengyou's head spin. Besides, it’s not bad to have a little Queen Fu...
Cautiously advised: "Li Shouzhen's side!"
"I don't believe that Li Shouzhen dared to rebel!" Liu Zhiyuan was inexplicably angry: "If these Fang Towns really dare to resist the imperial court, they will be destroyed!"
With the corner of his mouth twitching, Liu Chengyou secretly said that with the current binding force imposed by the central government on local governments, there is nothing that Fang Zhen would not dare to do. Although it is not easy to rebel, if you really give the other party an excuse and opportunity, you can see if he dares. Think about how the Liu family fought against the Later Jin Dynasty when they were in Hedong...
After a moment of silence, Liu Zhiyuan revealed his true thoughts: "I heard that a warlock said that parents and daughters are extremely valuable! Don't you understand? I'm afraid that Li Shouzhen had some weird intentions when asking for his son's hand in marriage. You must be kind. Be on guard!"
Liu Chengyou had heard about this matter, but he didn't really believe what the sorcerer said, so he didn't care. But Liu Zhiyuan, a native, was very concerned.
After calming down for a while, Liu Zhiyuan said: "This matter may not be urgent. We can delay it for a while and find an excuse to keep the Fu family in Tokyo. We will wait for the progress of Wang Jun's side before we deal with the matter!"
Liu Chengyou thought about it and decided that this could be done for the time being. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I have to pay a visit to Fumen!"
"You can take advantage of the situation and ask for your second daughter!" Liu Zhiyuan said.
Liu Chengyou was slightly shy and twitched the corners of his mouth. He had never seen someone so active in finding a woman for his son!
In fact, Liu Chengyou still has some ideas about Dafu. After all, in the original history, among the three sisters of the Fu family, only Da Fu was the most outstanding, calm, brave, generous and sensible, and she was called a strange woman!
How could Li Shouzhen's son deserve to support such a woman!
