Chapter 38 Yong Taohua swung his sword to cut Taohua Jingyonghe and took the word seeking Yonghe
Liu Fu was naturally unwilling to let Quan Rong go, but Bi Xin knew that there were not so many troops in the country to dispatch.In recent years, the dog army has been strong. It used to be entrenched in the northwest area. Now it has annexed many tribes in the east and occupied most of the north along the border. He carefully calculated that although our country has a superior number, the army has been corrupt for a long time and its combat effectiveness is low. And there are not so many generals to go to war, if you want to fight them to the death, you must turn to the Yi family for help.
The king of Weiyi ruled the army strictly, the soldiers were united, and the land was rich. He has been clearing the southwest for many years.However, the Southwest is only suffering from skin moss, and there is no need to deploy too many troops.And to get rid of such a fierce clan like Quanrong, it is necessary to hand over most of the country's elite. This is entrusting the lifeblood of the country to others. If the Yi family has a heart of disobedience, the consequences will be disastrous.
After all, Bi Xin is still afraid of the strength of the Yi family, and he is not good at meeting Liu Fu. Ming said that Liu Fu is angry at this time, of course he will not let it go, and Liu Fu trusts Li Ji, and he definitely agrees to transfer troops to the King of Weiyi to put down the rebellion.
To be honest, Bi Xin still recognizes Li Ji's character. He is sometimes humble and makes people suspect his hypocrisy, but in the end it is just his protective appearance. He is not an ambitious courtier in his heart, but a kind gentleman.If it weren't for the entanglement of interests, Bi Xin would also be willing to treat him as a good friend, and at this time he only hopes that he can become a minister of humerus.
The battle with Quan Rong was inevitable. The emperor, Prince Xuan and others negotiated and decided that King Yi of Weiyi would lead his troops to the border to dispatch food, grass and military supplies.
Liu Fu was in a trance for a few days, not knowing why he couldn't control his ups and downs. After returning to the palace, he went to the Zichen Palace again for some reason, fell asleep and woke up again in a daze. He behaves nonsense, but Bi Xin always stays by his side these days, afraid that he will be too sad.Sometimes when I hear something in my ear at night, I want to hear it but I can't hear it clearly, and I can't even tell whether it is Ahu or Bixin.
Since the battle was settled, Liufu's mood has gradually changed from anxiety and depression to calmness. The helplessness and depression can be released and he feels that his heart has settled down.
"Fuer..."
"Don't!" Liu Fu opened his eyes abruptly, and saw Bi Xin holding his hand in the dim candlelight, but couldn't see the expression on Bi Xin's face, as if it was a little rosy against the candlelight.
Liu Fu heard the sound of swallowing saliva lightly, he hurriedly pushed away Bi Xin's hand and said, "What are you doing?"
Bi Xin said very strangely: "I think you didn't hold your hand steadily in your dream." Bi Xin said again: "Why are you sweating all over, do you miss Ah Hu again?"
Liu Fu stared blankly at him, with confused eyes and hot body, Liu Fu only felt the itching shame slowly spreading from a small corner of his heart to his whole body.
"No, it's just..." Liu Fu avoided Bi Xin's eyes and said again: "I just haven't slept well recently, maybe there are people around me."
Bi Xin put his arms around him and said with a smile: "My second brother, my fu'er, you and I have been used to eating and living together since childhood, what's the matter?"
Liu Fu dodged like an electric shock and said, "Of course it's different when you grow up."
He said again: "Brother, do you know that I saw a woman today who said that Ahu's mother had betrothed her. Although she didn't say it on the surface, the two families had already made an appointment. After the national funeral, the next dowry was over. So Ahu, she In order to get married in the future, I should avoid suspicion, but I must come to worship, and I was a little touched after talking to her."
He said softly: "Yes."
"Listening to what she said, I realized that we are not young children anymore."
"How to say?"
"He has a responsibility to bear when he is born in the world. Even if the woman knows the responsibility of a hu, the world should do what he has not done instead of crying for nothing. She cut off a strand of hair and donated the dowry to the army. It is really respectable. woman."
Liu Fu said again: "Since I am no longer a child, I have thought a lot, and I have done many things that are not in compliance with the rules. After all, the emperor is the emperor and I should not pester and mess around." After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and got off the bed.
Bi Xin grabbed his wrist and said puzzledly, "Why are you messing around? I...I don't hate this."
Liu Fu stepped back a few steps and said: "This is nonsense, how can the dragon bed allow the ministers to sleep soundly?" After saying that, he turned to leave.
Bi Xin choked up and said, "What do you mean, that you hate being close to me?"
Liu Fu turned sideways and complained: "No, but there are many things, I really have to be careful."
The expression in Liu Fu's eyes was dim, and he trembled a little: "Besides, Brother Huang has...the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, such an affair is really...really not appropriate."
He was stunned, and said with trembling teeth: "Do you think I treat you... no, I don't mean that, we grew up together, you are my closest person, I have always, always... …”
"Brother! Since you treat me as a younger brother, you should respect me more."
Bi Xin only murmured: "Even though I know you are going to grow up, you are also a subject and a prince, but I only hope that you are my son."
Liu Fu moved his throat and coughed: "Brother, go to sleep, I will bring you lotus seed soup tomorrow." After saying that, he took off his coat and walked out of the hall.
Bi Xin pulled the curtain and said softly: "What you wish, my happiness." Tears slipped from the tip of his nose, Bi Xin turned over and covered his head with the quilt.
Even though it was summer, it was still cold at night, Liu Fu ignored everyone's astonishment and walked straight back to Cheqiu Pavilion.From then on, everyone only said that Prince Xuan was not the same as before, Shouli lived back in the palace, began to be busy with government affairs and changed his playful style, and gradually many people came to seek refuge as guest ministers because of his reputation.
Not long after Shishen entered Beijing, he asked about the talents and good names early on, and all the prefectures entered the inns like a stream of invitations, or poetry meetings or elegant talks. Those who have young ladies who have not left the court are the most enthusiastic, if it is not for the national funeral, the matchmaker will soon be broken The threshold is up.
Unexpectedly, Shi Shen only sent greetings to a few Qingliu families, but he didn't even go to a family of poetry gatherings. Instead, he went out and several theaters were closed, so he went back somewhat disappointed.But not long after Shi Shen went to Prince Xuan's flower viewing party, everyone said that the prince's mansion still has a lot of face, so people who don't understand etiquette don't want to go.
"Did he really say that?" Bi Xin said lightly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is true. He said that he is only loyal to His Majesty, so he disdains to form a party and is suspected of disorderly government." The man said: "Prince Xuan's mansion sent the most trusted people, even if they don't know a word. wrong."
Bi Xin said: "Then he would rather go to Prince Xuan."
The man said: "Prince Xuan gave Shishen a few opera and script books, and he came."
Bi Xin raised his eyes slightly and said: "Everyone knows that he loves operas. He can't sing operas at this time, and someone must send scripts, but he only reads Fuer's."
The man said: "It's just an ordinary playbook, I think Prince Xuan is close to His Majesty and that's why he visited." Hearing this, Bi Xin snorted softly.
As the days passed, the King of Weiyi set off with his soldiers in full gear, and the army finally pushed towards the border.The sun is shining brightly in the palace, and the palace is full of soft and beautiful flowers like butterflies. Everyone knows that she is gaining power in the family now, and with the protection of the Empress Dowager, no one dares to provoke her.
In a blink of an eye, it was June [-]th, Wanzhao's birthday, the first birthday of the concubine, and Jiji should have handled it well, but Wanzhao didn't want to compete with Rouyan for the limelight. She often thought of Liufu's warning, and only I feel that since I am in this seat, it is better to sit still and not provoke other people.
Wanzhao was already a concubine, so she had already worn a hairpin, but invited a few nuns to go through the scene, changed into a blouse with colorful butterflies wrapped around peach blossoms and covered it with tulle, thanked her for the gift, and then went to rest.
Several concubines came to ask questions and they all dispersed, only Rouyan didn't come, Wanzhao saw that she was used to pride and didn't take it seriously, but she didn't want Rouyan to come before dinner.
"Oh, sister, don't blame my sister for being late." Rou Yan entered the hall with a smile and saluted: "I have seen Sister Ning Fei, I wish my sister a long life and endless happiness."
Wan Zhao hurriedly returned the gift, "Thank you sister, please sit down."
Rou Yan said with a smile: "Why is my sister's birthday so deserted? I think it's because the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not effective. My sister will discipline them for my sister later."
Wan Zhao flicked open his shirt, took a sip of tea and said, "I don't like noise the most, so it's a bit quieter."
Rou Yan said: "That's right, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and he didn't even come to my sister's happy life, it really hurt my sister's heart."
Wan Zhao didn't answer after hearing this, but heard the voice outside: "The emperor is here." The two got up to meet him.
"My Majesty, Wanfu Jin'an, you are here, our sisters are talking about you." Rou Yan smiled.
Bi Xin nodded, and said to Wan Zhao, "It's hard for you."
Wanzhao's Assistant Manager Liu Gong was constrained by others, and it was indeed not easy to deal with those trivial matters.Wan Zhao only replied that nothing happened, Rou Yan said: "Sister's dress looks really good today, she looks like a fairy, but it's too soft, like a girl who hasn't left the court." She also said: "Yes, after all, she is Jiji. It's a pity that the ministers and concubines haven't reached the age of Ji yet, don't you look old in what you're wearing?" The soft and bright red peony jacket and skirt are pretty and cute.
Wan Zhao listened to Rou Yan and teased her for pretending to be tender, and ignored her, and then praised Rou Yan for her beauty, so she said to Wan Zhao, "I will accompany you to dinner today." Rou Yan sat on the side feeling bored.
Bi Xin asked Wanzhao if he had a choice of characters, and Wanzhao handed over the Meixiang red paper and said, "Zhangyi."
Bi Xin frowned and said, "It's better for Zhao'er to call."
Rou Yan coquettishly said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not as talented as my sister. It's not good to think of a word for dozens of times. Your Majesty, please help my concubine think about it."
Bi Xin casually said: "Yiyi is not bad." Rou Yan was a little disappointed and said: "Could it be that the concubine's surname is Yi and Yiyi was chosen."
"Yiyilian is so kind."
Only then did Rou Yan happily say, "Thanks to the emperor, I will retire with my sister accompanying the emperor as my concubine." Blessed and blessed, she left Yonghe Palace.
Rouyan sneered coldly on the road: "Show friendship, what kind of affection is expressed, and to whom, there is no shame." Then she said: "It's better to use the words bestowed by the emperor, this is the one with affection, there is no need to express it, it's ridiculous Extremely." The maid said yes, without saying anything all night.
