When the Liu Ye brothers entered the palace, the military arrangements had already been discussed, and Emperor Liu had to take some time to see what kind of work the always restless thirteenth son would do.
As soon as Liu Ye came in, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present and had to pay attention. After all, his clothes were too bright and flashy. Looking at the heroic Thirteenth Son, Emperor Liu smiled and teased: "Thirteenth, what are you doing in this outfit? Going to fight?"
In the past, Emperor Liu called Liu Ye Xiaoshisan, but now that he has reached the crown, the title has naturally been upgraded. Facing Emperor Liu's question, Liu Ye held his head high and responded: "Your Majesty is wise, I have this intention!"
"I heard that there is a rebellion in the northwest, and I can't help but feel worried when I am in Tokyo!" Liu Ye said loudly: "I study military books diligently and practice martial arts, just so that one day I can quell the rebellion for the country and share the worries of my father. Please ask Your Majesty Yes!"
"Military affairs are nothing but child's play. You have no battlefield experience. Moreover, the horrors on the battlefield are not as satisfying as you imagined. The most cruel, ruthless, shocking, and appalling tragedies in the world are all on the battlefield. 1 The battlefield is for killing people, with heads rolling in, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, broken limbs, and broken arms. This is no better than hunting some prey for you!"
Emperor Liu's words were calm, but they also made Liu Ye feel relaxed. He pondered for a moment and said seriously: "There is always a first time for everything. When the fourth and sixth brothers went to war, they were not as old as me. The eldest brother and the second brother were When my brother went to the battlefield with his father, he was not yet ten years old. Not long ago, Wen Hai went to sea with the emperor's uncle and traveled across the ocean. The battlefield was certainly cruel, so what should I be afraid of? Although I like to hunt, how can the prey compare with the hunter? ?」
After a pause, Liu Ye lowered his voice again and muttered: "Moreover, the world has been pacified by Your Majesty. Although it is not a good thing to rebel against the country in the northwest, if we don't take this opportunity to go to war, I'm afraid there will be no more wars in the future." After fighting, isn’t it useless for me to study hard and practice hard?”
"Haha!" Hearing Liu Ye's words, Emperor Liu suddenly laughed: "You kid, you are quite ambitious! The world is so big. You obviously didn't study the geographical chart knowledge seriously! If you are really ambitious, , thousands of miles of territory outside the territory can be used for you, are you afraid that there will be no war?"
"But right now, the Yulin Rebellion is the most urgent, and I still hope to do my best for the Han Dynasty!" Liu Ye said.
"I'm getting better and better at talking!" Emperor Liu seemed to be in a good mood. He changed the topic and looked at Liu Ye solemnly: "Do you really want to go to the northwest?"
With a snap, Liu Ye clasped his fists hard and said loudly: "It is our duty to do so!"
However, Emperor Liu still did not agree directly. He stood up and walked slowly to Liu Ye, looking closely at his son. He is not very tall, not even as tall as Emperor Liu, but his high-spirited temperament is very pleasing to the eye.
He raised his hand and made a fist, and lightly beat his chest twice. Liu Ye straightened his waist even more, as if he was being inspected by Emperor Liu, and looked at him expectantly.
"It's getting stronger and stronger!" Emperor Liu showed a smile again, turned around, took two steps, and suddenly looked directly at Liu Ye: "You are already twenty years old, and I have long wanted to follow your brothers' example. You get a title and open a mansion.
However, I have changed my mind now. Since you want to go to the battlefield, the original title will not be given to you. You have to earn it on the battlefield yourself. It will also be based on your performance on the battlefield and the amount of credit. If you make a mistake, you will not only lose the title, but also the title. To be punished.
I now give you a chance to choose and think about it yourself! "
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he pondered for a moment and responded with emotion: "I am fortunate to be your Majesty's son. However, as a man is alive, I should take the merits and honors by myself, and there is no need for your Majesty to leave any additions. When I return from the rebellion, I can feel at ease and receive the reward. Your Majesty’s title will never fail to reward you!”
Seeing this, Emperor Liu let out a hearty laugh that he had not seen for a long time, and pointed out that Liu Ye said to Liu Tinghan and other ministers: "My thirteenth son has had this recklessness since he was a child. This momentum is quite similar to when I was young. !」
Emperor Liu's words are unreasonable. He was so gloomy and reserved when he was young. He was completely opposite to Liu Ye. Perhaps it was because he had never shown true temperament towards Liu Ye before that he was so happy. He could even Tolerate some of his recklessness.
However, the ministers were still very considerate. Liu Tinghan smiled and said: "The arrogance of the Thirteenth Prince Kang is really touching. Your Majesty has a son like this."
This is gratifying! "
Emperor Liu was already immune to these flattery words. He waved his hand, turned to Tian Chongjin who was standing aside, and said, "Tian Qing, how about I find you a student?"
Tian Chongjin didn't expect Emperor Liu to pay attention to him. Hearing this, he expressed slight doubts and followed Emperor Liu's eyes to look at Liu Ye. Then he realized: "How can I bear this?"
"I will entrust Liu Ye to Tian Qing for this expedition!" Emperor Liu said as if he had not heard Tian Chongjin's words.
When Tian Zhongjin was stunned, Liu Ye had already taken a step forward and saluted Tian Zhong: "I will pay my respects to the general!"
Obviously, Liu Ye got into the role very quickly. Tian Chongjin looked at the respectful and polite prince, and noticed Emperor Liu's gaze. He sighed helplessly in his heart, bowed to Emperor Liu and said, "I will do my best and live up to my trust!"
This time, Tian Chongjin will serve as the deputy commander of the Northwest Suppression of Bandits, leading 10,000 forbidden troops to Yulin to assist Zhao Wang Liu Fang in suppressing the rebellion. He originally thought that Emperor Liu would arrange Liu Ye for King Zhao, but he never expected that the job would fall on him.
Liu Ye, the Thirteenth Prince, was full of energy and was obviously not a calm master. He didn't know whether to feel happy or to have a headache about this job and this trust.
After all, the battlefield is dangerous and blind. If something goes wrong with Liu Ye, how can he, the "master", get away with it? At this time, Tian Chongjin somewhat understood the feelings of Pan Mei, Yang Ye, Zhao Kuangyin and other generals.
"Of course I feel relieved about Tian Qing!" Emperor Liu was also satisfied with Tian Chongjin's reaction.
Turning to look at Liu Ye again, Emperor Liu held his arms in his arms, twirled his beard and thought about it for a moment, and said: "You can't wear the armor in your stomach. It's too conspicuous. It's okay for a guard of honor, but it's too ostentatious on the battlefield. That’s not a good thing!”
Liu Ye understood what Emperor Liu meant, but objected: "Although it is a little conspicuous, it can attract the attention of the soldiers and make it easier to give orders!"
Hearing that he dared to refute, Emperor Liu immediately glared: "If you are asked to change, you can change. Do you want to resist the order?"
"I don't dare!" Seeing Emperor Liu's great power, Liu Ye immediately surrendered and responded honestly.
After Liu Ye's affairs were settled, Emperor Liu turned his attention to Liu Xin who had followed him. Compared to the Thirteenth Son, the Fourteenth was too low-key. After entering the palace, apart from saluting and making some noise, He just kept silent, like an invisible person.
Looking at Liu Xin, who looked shy and even a little embarrassed, Emperor Liu showed what he thought was a kind smile and asked: "Fifteen, you and your Thirteenth brother have always been close, do you also want to follow him to Beiping?" Rebellion and meritorious service?"
When asked, Liu Xin lowered her head and denied it simply: "How can I compare with Brother Thirteen? This time, I am here to pay your respects to His Majesty!"
"Oh!" Emperor Liu didn't have much disappointment on his face, but his interest was also greatly reduced. He raised his hand and said, "I have received your filial piety. From now on, I will follow the masters of Wenhua Wuying Palace and study hard!" "
"Yes!" Liu Xin responded, then fell silent again and stayed there quietly.
Seeing Liu Xin's sullen look, Liu Ye was a little anxious. He wanted to say something, but he held it back. After Emperor Liu's attention was diverted from him, Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's all disperse!" Emperor Liu ordered. Soon, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he asked Liu Xin: "How is your mother's health lately?"
"Very good!" Liu Xin was a little surprised. When did the Emperor care about Concubine Yelu?
"That's good!" In fact, in Emperor Liu's mind, Concubine Yelu's face looked a bit vague.
The father and son chatted awkwardly for a few words, but they couldn't continue the conversation, so they broke up completely. However, Emperor Liu unexpectedly came up with the idea that perhaps he could go to Concubine Yelu's place and have some fresh experiences after so many years.
When he thought of this, Emperor Liu was unusually distracted. He felt like an old tree was blooming in spring, and a rare warmth was born in his heart. For Emperor Liu, this kind of impulse was rare, but it rarely appeared, so he had to seize it to prevent the interest from passing away.
After the ministers retreated, Emperor Liu immediately asked Yan
Tuo ordered: "Please make arrangements and stay at Concubine Jin's place tonight!"
"Yes!" Yantuo knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, and immediately made arrangements for it. Concubine Yelu has not slept with her for many years, so she must be prepared early, so as not to be unprepared and ruin the official mood.
