Chapter 17

At the dawn, the sun rose from the east as usual, and the soft light pierced the last dim before dawn and shone on the iron wall of Jinyang's city. Soon, the sky was filled with layers of bright morning glows, colorful. There were already crisp bird songs in the woods outside the city, and I don't know how many early insects had been eaten.

It was still early, and some people waiting to enter the city were gathered under the main entrance of Dongcheng. On the city tower, the young captain on the rotating side rubbed his eyes, swept around the crowd waiting properly, showed a look of satisfaction, yawning, and greeted his subordinates: "Prepare to open the door!"

"There is a situation!" At this time, the whistle above the Que Tower shouted loudly.

"What's going on?"

"Captain, look!" The whistleman pointed to the east.

Thumbs and Thumbs and ran up the Que Tower a few steps. The captain looked into the distance and checked the situation. Soon, his expression changed. To the east of the city, his vision was very wide. Although it was far apart, he could clearly see that an army was walking towards Jinyang City in an orderly formation.

"Report it now!" Seeing this, the captain decisively ordered: "Beware!"

The guards above the city headed out of their sheath and the arrows were raised. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the people below also noticed something wrong and dispersed, fearing that they would not avoid it.

When the army approached, the captain of the city gate was confused. The army outside the city had only about two hundred people, all of which were Hedong military uniforms. They were clearly his own people and did not carry weapons. Suppressing the suspicion in his heart, the captain shouted loudly and said, "Stop the visitor! Who are you?"

The leader was Zhang Yanwei. When he heard the shouting, he left the line and raised his head and shouted: "I will be Zhang Yanwei, the capital of Longqi Army. We have important matters to enter the city and ask for a meeting with the King of Beiping."

Upon hearing his words, the captain's face remained suspicious and pondered for a moment, and replied, "If General Zhang enters the city, it is absolutely impossible. But the soldiers you led should forgive me and dare not let go. Please disperse the general!"

Hearing this answer, Zhang Yanwei's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter: Didn't it mean that everything was arranged!

With a little irritability in his heart, Zhang Yanwei couldn't help but thrust his throat and continued, "We do have important things! Brothers in the city, please open the city and let it go! I've delayed the big things, I'm afraid you can't afford it!"

The captain on Que Tower was still loyal to his duties, and his tone became tougher, and he said coldly: "Please forgive General Zhang, and he is responsible for his duties. I dare not start lightly! Please stop and dismiss everyone, otherwise you will not blame him for being rude!"

Obviously, the captain of the city gate had confirmed that Zhang Yanwei and others had something wrong. After warning, he immediately asked his archers to pull the bow and aimed at Zhang Yanwei and others. Seeing this, Zhang Yanwei immediately cursed in his heart: What are you doing? Even a "door waiter" can't be arranged well!

"Let them into the city!" As the city tower was facing each other tensely, a lazy voice sounded in the captain's ears.

Turning his head to look, the battalion commander came in person. The captain was shocked and confirmed to him: "What did you say?"

"I said to open the door and let them into the city!" The battalion commander said it again, and this time it clearly reached the captain's ears.

The captain's face changed and pointed at the city: "But they-"

Faced with the doubts under his command, the battalion commander did not listen to the long-winded words and interrupted him tactfully: "What is the matter of the superior, can you, a small captain, here? They did not bring weapons. Even if they were let into the city, what could happen? Open the door!"

Accompanied by a dull sound of opening the door, the heavy city gate was finally opened. Zhang Yanwei, who was already full of anger at the city, did not care much and immediately led people in and rushed directly to the Beiping Palace.

......

In the backyard of the palace, where the mistress Li's residence, the mother and son were having breakfast, and Liu Chengyou came to have a meal on a daily basis. The third brother Liu Chengxun was also there, but the boss Liu Chengxun did not come. Maybe he has been too busy in recent days.

"Erlang, eat an egg." Li's face was kind, and she peeled an egg for Liu Chengyou himself and gently placed it on the plate in front of him.

"Thank you, my mother!" Liu Chengyou took a sip of the millet porridge and said in a urn.

"You, although simple is morality, don't treat yourself too harshly. You are still young, and your father and brother will work hard on military and political affairs. Don't work too hard. During this period, I see you have lost so much weight!" A kind look on Liu Chengyou, and Li muttered gently.

In Liu Chengyou's impression, Li has always been a very wise and wise woman. Her thoughtful personality made Liu Chengyou think more sensitively about Li's words. "Let your father and brother work hard", is this a hint to him?

He looked up at Li, but he was facing the concerned gaze in his mother's eyes. It should be impossible to fake it. After a gentle breath, Liu Chengyou nodded to Li: "It is my son's sin to worry about my mother. I will pay attention."

With Li's wisdom, there was no way he could tell Liu Chengyou was perfunctory about him, but he sighed helplessly: "Eat eggs! It's cold."

The peeled egg was picked up with two fingers, which was tender and smooth, and there were a few wisps of hot air floating. The egg is a pigeon egg, which is a thing that nourishes the kidneys and improves essence...

"I want it too!" Liu Chengxun, the third brother on the other side, couldn't help but speak to Li, looking at Li with a look that he needed care. Li would not favor one or the other, and laughed and cursed and picked up an egg and started to take action.

"Second brother, when will you take me to the military camp?" Liu Chengxun is still young, but he is the most lively among the three brothers. At this time, he couldn't sit still and looked at Liu Chengyou expectantly.

"I will take you there with my father's consent!" Liu Chengyou replied lightly.

When Liu Chengxun heard this, his little face suddenly felt bitter. He stuck out his tongue at Liu Chengyou and muttered: "Then forget it, it's better to sneak out..."

"What did you say!" He was heard, but Li next to him opened his eyes slightly and stared at him with anger.

"No, nothing!" Liu Chengxun immediately shook his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Liu Chengyou looked at the third brother, the thirteen-year-old young man, full of childishness, with a terrible body, and a good seedling of a military general. Looking at the boy, Liu Chengyou's thoughts couldn't help but float away.

He vaguely remembered that there was a record in the historical books, which was the general meaning: Guo Wei led the Ye army south to "clear the king's side", Emperor Yin died in the suburbs of Beijing, and the country must not be left without a master, so he asked the emperor's brother Xun to be appointed. The empress dowager rejected him because his brother Xun was sick, and Wei and others looked at him. Sure enough, he proposed to establish Liu Yun, who was adopted by Liu Zhiyuan. Later, Liu Yun was abolished and killed. Liu Chengxun died the next year, but he did not explain whether it was an illness or other reasons.

At this moment, looking at the lively young man in front of him, Liu Chengyou's heart became a little colder again, and the faces of Zhang Qian and Sushen appeared in his mind. Guo Wei, haha...

As my thoughts floated, a noise suddenly came from outside the palace. Even in the deep courtyard of the palace, I could vaguely hear the shouts of some "Beiping Kings".

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in a flash. Li's eyebrows were rising and he ordered a manager of the inner courtyard who was serving: "Go and ask, what's going on!"

Liu Chengyou put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a silk handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and looked very calm.

Wu Ji, the manager who went out to inquire was hurried and reported nervously: "Madam, a large number of soldiers and civilians gathered outside the palace, and they were clamoring to meet the king!"

"Is there such a thing? I want to go and see!" Liu Chengxun was excited when he heard this and said excitedly that he wanted to join in the fun.

"You stay here! You are not allowed to go anywhere!" As a result, Li was suppressed by a word.

Liu Chengyou stood up and bowed to Li without any haste, saying goodbye to him, and wanted to see the situation. Paying attention to the calm performance of the second son, the constipation between Li's eyebrows gradually dissipated, looking out of the hall, and sighed gently.

Turning around, he began to teach the restless three sons a lesson.
