In Changshe City, there is an undercurrent, gradually becoming a storm.
Liu Xin, who was at the center of the undercurrent, was still at ease, entertaining Murong Yanchao and talking in his luxurious and gorgeous hall. Although it was night, the candlelight in the hall was bright, and the atmosphere was becoming more and more lively.
"Since the beginning, when I was in charge of Huazhou and you were in charge of Chanzhou, we haven't seen each other for almost a year and a half, brother!" Having drunk a lot of wine, Liu Xin was drunk and began to reminisce about the past with Murong Yanchao: "Who would have thought that back then, I couldn't wait for a lackey beside my eldest brother, but I would have such a nourishing life now!"
As he spoke, Liu Xin touched his slightly protruding belly under his brocade robe and laughed.
After taking a glance, Murong Yanchao also said: "The rich land in the Central Plains of Xuzhou is much better than my Yunzhou."
"No matter how good it is, can it be better than Tokyo?" Liu Xin sneered coldly, his face full of anger: "What a pity, the eldest brother just left too early, leaving that kid to take charge!"
Hearing his complaints, Murong Yanchao frowned and asked, "Brother Xin, you are still dissatisfied!"
"Between you and me, there is nothing to be taboo about!" Liu Xin seemed to have drunk too much. He raised his finger and pointed at his heart: "I'm so depressed in my heart!"
"You said, in this world of great men, if the eldest brother had not led us to fight all the way, licking blood from the sword, how could he, Liu Erlang, be giving orders in the Mingtang today? You, me, and the second brother from Taiyuan are all his elders. Clan of the Han Dynasty. But Brother Chong has never even entered Tokyo, and he is guarding the country in Jinyang for him..."
Liu Xin looked full of resentment and did not hold back in front of Murong Yanchao. He kept talking: "Last year, my eldest brother passed away and he succeeded to the throne at a young age. The whole dynasty is full of distinguished officials and proud soldiers. If not Me, can he suppress those people like Yang Wang, Shi Su Guo? Turn away and deny me as the emperor's uncle, drive me out of Tokyo, kill some people and get greedy for some money? Isn't that worth making a fuss about?"
"Previously, Liu Sanlang, that yellow-haired boy, was named the King of Huaiyang because he had no merit and no work. He was the emperor's younger brother and was named King of Huaiyang. As for us, we want status and credit, but he didn't show any sign of it at all. ?”
"Hmph, if Dalang hadn't died early..."
"Brother Xin, you are drunk, why are you talking so boundlessly?" Seeing Liu Xin scolding the emperor in front of him, Murong Yanchao's expression changed slightly. The servants waiting in the hall waved their hands and ordered them to step back.
Liu Xin snorted: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
Murong Yanchao said: "I think the officials treat us well. There are also many promotions and promotions. Last winter, I went to Beijing to have an audience. Among all the festivals, I, the emperor's uncle, received the most generous rewards." ....”
"You were bribed by a little yellow and white thing?" Hearing this, Liu Xin showed disdain.
Murong Yanchao didn't feel embarrassed at all. He took a sip of wine and said, "You also know that I like gold and silver. Even if the official family wants to do what I like, it is because of their intentions. Brother Xin, I think you have some interest in the official family." The misunderstanding is that we are all one family..."
"Family?" Liu Xin, drunkenly, pointed in the direction he was traveling and said, "On that day, Zi Palace was heading south and entered the country for the first time. I led a group of subordinates to meet him for dozens of miles and held the warehouse. I gave him all the rare treasures in the house. I gave him face and showed my loyalty, but what happened? He got a cold face. If my sister-in-law hadn’t been there, I don’t know how it would have ended!"
After hearing what Liu Xin said, Murong Yanchao was silent for a long time before sighing: "Brother Xin, I know you are angry, but after all, he is an official and the emperor. As an emperor, he has done a good job. I He is not only his imperial uncle, but also his minister!"
Hearing Murong Yanchao's solemn persuasion, Liu Xin remained slender and his drunkenness seemed to have dissipated a lot. He stared at him: "I can't believe that brothers, you and I, both warriors, can actually say such a truth now. I've really made a lot of progress." Ah, who taught you to say it?"
"Don't officials advocate reading more? When you have nothing to do, you can find help from your staff, learn calligraphy, and listen to stories..."
"Hmph!" Liu Xin sighed, almost spitting out from his nostrils: "It's not that I don't want to do the job of a king and a minister, it's just that we officials don't look down on my uncle. Of course, we The two of us are disgusted with each other!"
"Now, no one dares to cause trouble for me!"
"What's going on? Does anyone dare to offend you?" Murong Yanchao couldn't help thinking after hearing this and asked.
Liu Xin's hands were so strong that he almost crushed the wine glass he was holding, and said coldly: "The people below are here to report that during this period, there are many sneaky people among the people in the city and the city. They are looking for faults on me. coming!"
"Who are these people?" Murong Yanchao, although he was vulgar and money-loving, was inherently shrewd and realized something and asked seriously.
Staggering, his vision was a little blurred by the candlelight, Liu Xin said hoarsely: "A few censors and those officials don't know whether to live or die. Besides..." Liu Xin said with a slightly cold tone: "Also... That dog from Wude Si and that kid from Li Shaoyou actually smelled me with their noses."
"You have to be careful!" Murong Yanchao said with emotion: "Needless to say Wu Desi, the censor Zhao Li who is accompanying me this time is a bold man. I was building a house in Tokyo, and he was impeached. Ben, for saying something that went beyond the rules and etiquette, he was summoned by the officials and reprimanded!"
Liu Xin immediately expressed his sarcasm about this matter: "Haha, the world has been in chaos for a long time, and the imperial court's regulations are not complete. It's ridiculous to talk about overstepping and not overstepping!"
"Brother Xin, there are rumors that you are in Xuzhou..." Murong Yanchao said with hesitation.
"That's right, it's not a rumor!" Liu Xin said as if he knew what Murong Yanchao wanted to say: "The things I did in Xuzhou were not covered up. One by one, one by one, they were all real. It’s so secretive, I’m afraid he’ll check?”
"Hey, you are confused!" Murong Yanchao shook his head: "Being greedy for money and killing people is nothing. Why do you want to carry out raids and plunders under the banner of the emperor? You must know that officials Jiasulai pays attention to the people's hearts and minds, how can we not make them angry?"
Liu Xin said disdainfully: "Public opinion? People who have broken out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, don't you know that public opinion can be defeated by swords and guns?"
"But today!" Liu Xin said with a more serious expression for the first time: "The news came out over there that the officials summoned Li Shaoyou and Zhao Li successively. Although I am not smart, I am not stupid either. If You guessed it right, those two may have been slandered in front of the emperor!"
Liu Xin looked relaxed, but Murong Yanchao reacted greatly. He leaned up, propped up the food table, and asked urgently: "Do you know what the official's attitude is?"
"The person in front of the emperor doesn't even reveal a word!" Liu Xin said gloomily, but his attitude was still arrogant: "I'm not sure, we have already discussed how to deal with me!"
The two people drank, of course, good wine, and the air was filled with fragrance, but their breath was also mixed with an unpleasant stench. After being silent for a long time, Murong Yanchao sighed and said, "If this is true, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do? What do you think I should do?" Liu Xin asked.
"After all, they are all close relatives of the clan. You go and apologize to the official in advance and admit your mistake to him, and I will explain it to you from the side!" Murong Yanchao suggested.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two people is quite good, and Murong Yanchao is really thinking about him.
Liu Xin waved his hand: "You are actively confessing your guilt even though you haven't taken any action yet? Are you trying to prevent me from inflicting it on myself? Not to mention other things, has there been such a cowardly vassal town in the past decades?"
Seeing that Liu Xin was not grateful, Murong Yanchao's face turned ugly. He turned sideways and patted the table: "Don't you think that because of your status as the emperor's uncle, the officials can't really touch you? See, after he succeeds to the throne, What you do is not something to be bullied!”
"I know, otherwise why would my grand uncle, the commander-in-chief of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, end up in Xuzhou, drunk and dreaming?" Liu Xin's eyes became clear, and he said quietly: "I, Xuzhou, still have thousands of tooth soldiers. ,them......"
Hearing his words, Murong Yanchao's expression changed dramatically. Without waiting for him to finish, he stood up, walked a few steps in the hall, and stared at Liu Xin condescendingly: "Brother Xin, you are dissatisfied, but you are already If you have made mistakes, I can help you with some things, but if you have done some things before, don’t blame me for ignoring brotherly love! You also know that it is not easy for the eldest brother to build this country from a horseman. Although I am a humble husband, eldest brother I will always remember your kindness!"
Being scolded by Murong Yanchao, Liu Xin was stunned for a while, and then he laughed, shook his head, poured himself a drink, poured it into his mouth slowly, his eyes gradually became distracted: "Look, why are you so excited? I just said it casually, what else can I have in mind?"
"The official is here to bring the elite of the imperial army. What can Xuzhou do with these few soldiers and horses? As for me, I'm just waiting to see what he can do to me, the emperor's uncle? Kill me? Hum... ..”
Seeing Liu Xin in a daze and drunkenness, Murong Yanchao shook his head, angrily greeted the rejected servants, and left with a cold face.
