East Palace.
Before reaching the door, you can hear laughter and melodious sounds.
It was obviously very lively and happy inside.
Prince Liu Huan is very happy!
He has reason and right to be happy.
With his background, if we follow the trajectory of past history, the best he can do is become an idle prince.
However, things are unpredictable and life is unpredictable.
Six years ago, Emperor Jing died of a serious illness, and his determined heir, King Wu, died on the expedition. His cheap grandfather naturally became the emperor.
It seems that he was not accustomed to the local environment. His grandfather only sat on the throne for half a year and then died following his elder brother due to an illness.
Liu Huan's father Liu Qi successfully ascended the throne.
Perhaps God favored Liu Huan, and Liu Qi was a good man. He took too much pills, got distracted in his practice, and became hemiplegic.
Although he was still breathing a sigh of relief, he could no longer manage affairs, so he hurriedly made Liu Huan the prince.
As long as Liu Qi burps, Liu Huan can ascend the throne as emperor and command the world.
Thinking of the moment when he sat in the Golden Palace, Liu Huan hugged a girl next to him who was wearing cool clothes, with charming eyes and a plump chest tightly.
He poured some wine into the beautiful white valley, and then took a sip.
Crispy and glutinous, spicy and refreshing, with endless aftertaste.
"Giggle!"
The girl in her arms was tickled and she laughed sweetly, "Your Highness, why are you using this place as a wine glass?"
"It's so itchy!"
Although Liu Huan was young, his father, Liu Qi, was fond of cultivating immortals and had no time to take care of himself. The eldest princess was away fighting all year round, and the eunuchs below were always trying to please and indulge him, urging him to laugh and play. He was already familiar with all kinds of tricks.
"Xiao Mimi, you really live up to your name. If you don't have fun with such a good capital, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"
"Not only do I want to use your place as a wine glass for drinking, but there is also a place where I can have a good drink."
This singer named Xiao Mimi is one of the five Yangzhou girls sent by Liu Bian.
She is good at singing and dancing, but she has a proud figure and is good at observing people's words, which makes her quite popular with Liu Huan.
Xiao Mimi put her hands around Liu Huan's neck and said softly, "His Royal Highness, you are bullying me because I am young and ignorant again."
"I don't have that kind of place on my body. Isn't it because my body is leaking?"
Liu Huan's hands wandered around Xiao Mimi's body, and when he reached a spot, he slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Hey Xiao Mimi, you still said that there is no such good place to go. You are getting more and more naughty. I will have to punish you for being such a bully later." It is not your fault."
Xiao Mimi pretended to be scared, "Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"I was just young and ignorant. How could I have known that such a situation would occur, and how could I have known that it would change like this as soon as His Highness the Crown Prince's hand passed over it."
"As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince is the True Dragon Emperor. He follows his words and has infinite magical power!"
When Liu Huan heard this, he got what he wanted. He bit Xiao Mimi's fragrant lips and said downwards, "Liu Bian, you really understand my thoughts."
"I'm very satisfied with the gifts you give me every time. You said you wanted any reward this time, and I agreed to it."
A fat, white man immediately stepped forward and knelt down to salute with great humility, "His Royal Highness is kind and kind. Some things are things that minor officials should do. How can I ask for a reward from His Highness?"
Liu Huan opened his mouth, caught the crystal clear grapes that Xiao Mimi had peeled, and took a bite. The juice was sweet and refreshing, which made Liu Huan feel good.
"Liu Bian, you are indeed a person who understands the general situation. You are not arrogant or impetuous, and you are not arrogant. You are a person who can achieve great things."
"Didn't you say you wanted to go out last time? Tell me, where do you want to go?"
Liu Bian's fleshy face trembled slightly, and his narrow eyes flashed with surprise, but he hid it very well, "Your Highness, although I want to go out to contribute to the country and serve the court, but I can't bear to do so. Your Highness!"
"I will be content to be able to ride beside His Highness for the rest of my life."
Liu Huan's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, "Bian, I know your filial piety and loyalty."
"You are in the palace, hanging around me, making me happy, and I can't let you go."
"It's just that the world is in chaos now, the world is uneasy, and the court is short of people, especially people like you to protect our country."
Liu Bian kowtowed three times in a row, with tears in his eyes, "Your Highness, I am too small!"
"I only see loyalty and filial piety, but what Your Highness sees is the common people in the world. It's me, the great man in the world!"
"Your Highness, wherever you need me, I will go. Wherever the danger is most, let me go there!"
Liu Huan nodded, "Okay, if the court has a loyal and courageous person like you, why should the world be worried about uncertainty, and why should Beimang be worried about immortality!"
"Previously, the prefect of Jingzhou retired and returned to his hometown, but there has not yet been a replacement. I have been looking for a long time, but I have not found a suitable candidate. Now Jingzhou is still short of a prefect. The Taifu and the others have submitted a candidate. I am not very satisfied. You can take the lead. Miss it!"
Jingzhou magistrate!
This is a fifth-grade real job, a good job!
The key lies in the fact that the prefect of a state controls the military and political power in the area under his jurisdiction and has all-powerful authority, which is equivalent to that of a prince.
How many people can't climb to such a position despite struggling all their lives.
And today, the prince of the prison country agreed to let him become the prefect of Jingzhou. This is a great thing.
You know, a few months ago, he, Liu Bian, was just a small rich man who used his relationship with the Liu family to get into the crown prince.
Sure enough, if you want to be an official, you have to find the biggest official.
In today's Han Dynasty, in Lin'an City, the emperor was seriously ill and ignored the government affairs. The biggest figure was the prince Liu Huan.
Liu Bi'an burst into tears, "The prince has shown me a great kindness. I will serve my country with all my heart and soul, and repay the prince's kindness in knowing me."
Liu Huan felt that the Xiao Mimi in his arms had melted into water. Knowing that it was time for the blood to dissolve in the water, he said to Liu Bian, "I know your loyalty. After I talk to my aunt tomorrow, you can Go and take office.”
Just as Liu Bian was about to thank him, a figure flew in.
There is an assassin!
The two flew out from behind Liu Huan and caught the figure in the air.
The figure cried, "Your Highness, it's me, don't kill me!"
Liu Huan was so frightened that he almost threw the flute in his arms to resist the assassin. When he heard the voice sounded familiar, he took a closer look and said, "Xiao Luozi, it's you!"
"What are you doing?"
The figure flying in was Luo Sheng, the young eunuch of Liu Huan Palace.
Luo Sheng escaped from death and ran towards Liu Huan, crawling on the ground, "His Royal Highness, here she is, she is here!"
When Liu Huan heard this, his drunken face turned pale with fright, "No way!"
"Where is she?"
"Quickly, stop her and retreat!"
At this time, a lonely figure appeared at the door. Liu Xiuzhu, dressed in smart clothes, stood at the door and looked coldly into the house.
Silence is the most powerful deterrent.
Liu Huan felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling all over.
Xiao Mimi didn't know Liu Xiuzhu, and she didn't understand why Liu Huan was so afraid.
Obviously Liu Huan is the prince, and he is also the prince of the prison country!
Once the emperor dies and the prince successfully ascends the throne, he is the supreme person. How can he be afraid of a woman?
Even if this woman is very beautiful and has a good figure, don’t men like cold and fierce women?
Instead, he would like a woman like me who is as tender as water, melts as soon as she touches it, can open and close, can open and bite!
Xiao Mimi stood up and when she saw the woman at the door walking straight over, she angrily said, "Stop, how dare you break into the East Palace privately?"
"Why don't you kneel down when you see the prince?"
Liu Bian was a discerning person, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Mimi, don't be rude, get out of here quickly!"
Xiao Mimi wondered why the prince and the future magistrate of Jingzhou were so afraid of this woman.
However, she was trained by Liu Bian. Although she was dissatisfied, she still knew the way forward and retreat, and was ready to stand back by the prince's side.
Still slow!
A silvery white light flashed across.
Liu Bian only felt something splashing on his fat, white face.
He reached out and touched his face quietly, and there was blood.
Suddenly, Liu Bian was so frightened that he pressed his head tightly and never looked ahead.
Because that blood is Xiao Mimi's blood.
Xiao Mimi couldn't understand why Prince Liu Huan had just promised to make her his concubine after he ascended the throne.
But the woman in front of him cut her neck with one sword.
Liu Huan didn't show a trace of sadness, just fear.
"Aunt...aunt..."
Liu Huan's hands and feet felt cold, and his tongue was a little knotted when he spoke.
Not only because one of Xiao Mimi's hands was still limp on his shoes, but because Liu Xiuzhu was walking towards him with a sword in hand.
This aunt is only less than five years older than him!
But in Liu Huan's heart, he was already trembling. When he was a child, whenever he made a mistake, she would take off her pants, hang her on a tree, and whip her with a riding crop. He had an unforgettable shadow in his heart.
In recent years, because Liu Xiuzhu had been leading troops in battles abroad and rarely returned to the capital, it took Liu Huan a few years to live a stable life and enjoy life.
This time, because Emperor Liu Qi was seriously ill, Liu Xiuzhu rushed back after taking care of the war ahead.
The war cannot be finished, but the royal affairs cannot be delayed.
Especially the throne.
If the throne is gone, no matter how many wars we fight, it will be useless. We will just make wedding clothes for others.
Although Liu Huan has not shown the talent to be an emperor, he is the first person to succeed to the throne after all.
As the eldest princess and aunt, she could only carry this nephew, this court, and even this country on her shoulders and move forward.
Liu Xiuzhu stood in front of Liu Huan, with a heartbroken look in her eyes and her full chest rising and falling.
Immediately, Liu Xiuzhu stopped looking at Liu Huan, turned around, looked at the singers, dancers, and musicians in the hall, and waved her hand, "Take them all down for a good interrogation."
"The emperor is seriously ill and all activities in the palace have stopped. How did they get in? And who is bewitching the prince? We must investigate carefully."
"After finding out, there is no need to report it. According to the law, they will be severely punished."
Yang Ying led the people to take the singer and musician down, crying loudly for a while.
No one persuades, no one sympathizes.
A plump figure quietly slipped outside.
"stop!"
With a scolding, Liu Bian froze up and did not dare to move any further.
Liu Xiuzhu walked up to Liu Bian and looked at the sweat dripping from Liu Bian's fat head, with a look of disgust in her eyes, "Are you Liu Bian?"
Liu Bian kowtowed repeatedly, "The humble minister Liu Bian pays his respects to the eldest princess!"
Liu Xiuzhu snorted coldly, "You are indeed obsessed with it. I heard that you still want to be the prefect of Jingzhou?"
Liu Bian didn't know what Liu Xiuzhu was thinking, so he said cautiously, "I have no talent and only have the heart to serve the country. Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince, I am willing to go to Jingzhou with my own flesh and blood to serve the imperial court. Just like Just like King Wu back then, he dedicated his life to the great Han Dynasty and died!"
Liu Xiuzhu glanced sideways at Liu Huan, who shrank back into the chair for fear that Liu Xiuzhu would come and hit him with a sword.
Liu Huan had no doubt that once he angered Liu Xiuzhu, it was absolutely possible for Liu Xiuzhu to strip him naked and beat him up in the East Palace.
Liu Xiuzhu looked at the Bishui Sword in her hand and said softly, "Liu Bian, you pretended to be a member of the royal family and deceived, and you also bewitched the prince. Your crime is unforgivable. Since you want to devote yourself to death, then I will help you!"
"Jingzhou, you don't have to go either!"
Liu Bi'an felt a chill in his heart and realized something was wrong. He slapped Liu Xiuzhu with his palm and flew out of the palace.
Who would have thought that Liu Bian's body of several hundred kilograms could have such good Qinggong.
However, Liu Bian ran very fast, and a cold light behind him chased him even faster.
With a muffled groan, Liu Bian's fat body fell heavily to the door.
A bloody hole on the back of his head gradually enlarged, gradually turning his body red.
Liu Xiuzhu walked to Liu Huan and said, "Liu Bian didn't tell the truth. He is still afraid of death and can't do his best and die."
Liu Huan trembled all over and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Liu Bian deserves to die, he deserves to die!"
Liu Xiuzhu lifted Liu Huan up, laid him flat on the seat, and looked into his eyes.
"Prince, as long as you have one percent of King Wu's ambition, one thousandth of his courage, and one ten thousandth of his ability, why should we be afraid of Bei Mang!"
"Liu Huan, do you still remember what King Wu said after he chased Beimang master Hong Jingting for seven thousand miles and chopped off his head?"
Liu Huan was already lost in thought and murmured, "What did King Wu say?"
Liu Xiuzhu pointed her sword at the sky with a solemn expression.
"Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be killed no matter how far away!"
