Liu Ce nodded, a little satisfied with Liu Fu's attitude. The slaves who are loyal to their duties and their masters will naturally praise and reward them. Only by giving them kindness and power can they be more loyal and try their best to serve their masters.
"Liu Zhong and Liu Qian must be thirty, too. I remember they were born two years after I first entered the Imperial Academy. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and they have grown up. They are young, promising, and diligent. We are also old. ." Liu Ce suddenly remembered his time when he was young. At that time, he was a young prostitute. He was very high-spirited when he first entered the official career. He was very happy and unhappy in life. Later, he entered the Imperial Academy and the cabinet, and gradually reached his current position step by step.
Thirty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the eldest son on whom he relied most and had great hopes died young. The remaining two sons were mediocre and had excellent academic performance. The youngest daughter, on the other hand, had great achievements, but she had a short temper and acted recklessly.
well! None of them make people worry.
Liu Fu squirmed and said nothing. The master said that he was old, and of course he was. The flying white hair flew out from the carefully combed bun, showing its owner its sense of importance. Should he be asked to comfort the master and say that he is not old at all? Impossible, this is not flattery, it is flattery, and the master will only be more unhappy.
Of course I will be unhappy if you tell the truth, but I will hate it even more if you tell the truth with your eyes open while asking for credit and favors.
Therefore, silence is better than sound at this time.
Therefore, when Liu Ce lamented the impermanence of time, his loyal servant Liu Fu decisively remained silent. Silence is golden.
If anyone in this world understands his master, of course it is only him.
What the master never needs is sympathy.
Sure enough, Liu Ce did not wait for any response from Liu Fu, and regardless of whether Liu Fu was listening or not, he spoke softly again, "Liu Zhong and Liu Qian have had enough experience over the years, and they are both good. When this matter is over, I will find them a job abroad. Young people are capable and responsible, so they should shoulder more responsibilities and serve the country."
Liu Fu paused, then raised his head in shock, staring at the back of his owner's head with a pair of eyes filled with excitement and disbelief. He couldn't hold back his ecstasy, and his big hand holding the handle of the umbrella trembled violently. , Fortunately, there is a little bit of reason in his heart, otherwise he would really throw the umbrella to Liu Ce and kowtow to thank him.
Even the wet green brick floor mixed with mud and water under his feet could not stop his bent knees.
His family has been loyal for decades, and they are finally coming out.
The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, the master wants to promote them!
Although the slaves born in their family look majestic in front of outsiders, they are actually true slaves at heart. Their reputation is given by their masters. If they can be released as serious seventh-level officials in the future, this is also The matter of honoring the ancestors.
Furthermore, with the trust of the master and the extremely powerful backing of the first-class assistant of the dynasty, there is no need to worry about promotion and prosperity.
"I'd like to thank you for your praise of those two bastards. I'll let them thank you when I get back." Liu Fu said, knowing in his heart that the master relied on them so much that they had to show more loyalty and even their lives.
They are slaves, and their lives are originally given by their masters. For the sake of their great future, they don't have to accept this humble life.
This is life!
"You have worked hard after following me for so many years." Liu Ce sighed softly. How could he not see Liu Fu's reaction? He nodded with satisfaction. What he likes to see most is those who are grateful to him and sacrifice their lives with both hands. people.
As soon as the topic changed, Liu Ce's tone suddenly became sad, with a sad look: "The Holy Dragon's body is getting worse and worse. He actually vomited blood in the court yesterday, which scared us; His Majesty is worried. State affairs, working hard for the country and the people have exhausted the dragon body. Looking at the sick and frail Holy Lord in the court today, we, a group of old ministers, had no face to face him, and none of us knelt down to beg the Holy Lord to take the dragon body as his priority." At this point, Liu Ce's face was painful, and his heart felt as if he was being pulled hard.
"The Holy One serves the country and the people, and is a wise king in the prosperous times." Liu Fu also became sad. As the chief steward of the Liu Mansion, how could he discuss state affairs arbitrarily? He only cared about the health of his master.
"My master has a heavy responsibility and is involved in state affairs. Please be careful."
"I know my body, but I'm afraid the Holy Spirit is..." Liu Ce stopped here, but Liu Fu understood it and just silently recorded every word of Liu Ce's words in his heart.
Liu Fu said cautiously: "The Holy Dragon's body is not in good condition. I heard that he is considering establishing a heir apparent. The eldest prince has a silly temperament, but the second prince is smart and studious..."
"Damn it." Liu Ce shouted, breaking the tranquility of the rainy night. He stopped and looked at the old servant behind him, his majesty suddenly appearing.
"The master is angry, and the little one deserves to die." Under Liu Ce's power, Liu Fu was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Alas!" Liu Ce sighed lightly, regained his composure, and returned to normal, "Get up, don't ever mention such outrageous words again. You are an old man who has been with me for decades..."
Liu Ce didn't explain the rest of the words, but Liu Fu didn't understand, so he slapped himself hard on the face, "It's the old slave who is wrong. It's all nonsense from this strong mouth, and the old slave doesn't dare to do it anymore. "
"It has been a tradition of the Dayue Dynasty for hundreds of years. The eldest prince is the daughter of the empress of the middle palace. He is both the direct descendant and the eldest son. He is the prince destined by fate. Although he is young, he has a simple and honest temper. He will succeed the new emperor in the future. , is the blessing of the country, I will use my broken body to supplement it."
"That's what the master said." Liu Fu replied deeply, bending down even lower. He felt like a mirror in his heart. The master is still smarter. Even though everyone in the government and the public knew that the eldest prince was a fool, the fool in the eyes of the master turned into a simple and honest young man. , but who would dare to really hand over the world to a fool? Even the Holy Emperor would not hand over the throne to a fool's son.
Even if he is willing, the civil and military officials of the court and the royal family will not agree. If the Holy Emperor insists on having his own way, he may become the enemy of the world.
He understood a lot of important information from the master's brief words, that is, the emperor is dying, and the second prince is about to...
Thinking of this, Liu Fu's old and vicissitudes of heart was filled with heat. Okay! The second prince will be the future emperor. The master just mentioned his two sons again.
"There are many people in the imperial court who are as loyal as Liu Zhong and Liu Qian, who are dedicated to the country and work together to assist in the world's great events." Liu Ceyan said concisely and comprehensively.
"Liu Qian will come back the next day and ask him to come to my room. As for Liu Zhong, let him go to Pingcheng again. He is familiar with it. I thought it was better to let him go."
"Yes, I understand. I asked him to set off overnight. If he can't satisfy the master this time, let him come and see you." Liu Fu lowered his head and promised. He had followed his master for decades. A simple move by his master, a With concise and concise words, he could easily understand his master's purpose.
If he couldn't even do this, he would still be considered the number one steward of the Liu Mansion.
"Okay, I can rest assured that you are doing things." Liu Ce nodded with satisfaction, and Liu Fu was naturally relieved by doing things.
"I remember that child was born in April!" Liu Ce suddenly said while looking at the drizzle in front of him.
Although Liu Ce's words were light, Liu Fu understood clearly. He knew that the master was certainly not talking about the birth date of his son Liu Qian. How could the master remember the birth date of a slave.
"My master has a very good memory. I remember that it is April 20th. That day is the Grain Rain Festival."
"Okay, I should be seven years old this year." Liu Ce nodded and walked forward, his feet extremely firm.
No matter what, nothing can stop the second prince from ascending the throne.
While walking, the strange darkness coming from the side interrupted Liu Ce's thoughts, making him instantly unhappy: "Who is making such a noise in front of you in the middle of the night?"
Liu Fu understood the idea and waved gently to the guards behind him. Immediately, two guards followed the direction of the sound and walked into the dark night. Splendid Doctor
