The father and son were silent for a long time, and Liu Qi suddenly said, "Aweng, I heard something, I don't know the truth."
Liu Biao said absent-mindedly: "What's the matter?"
"The reason why Liu Xuande insisted on Pengcheng and refused to surrender was said to be the emperor's promise that as long as he could defend Xuzhou, he would restore his clan family."
"Puchi" Liu Biao couldn't help laughing. "It's true, but it's ridiculous. Is Liu Xuanbei the blood of Emperor Gao? He has restored his clan status? The emperor was also in a hurry to seek medical treatment and made random promises."
Liu Qi didn't laugh. "But this can at least show one thing, the emperor attaches great importance to the royal family."
Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, then said, "So what? This is just an urgent matter."
"Is it true that Liu Gongheng abandoned Yuan Benchu and returned to the court and was appointed as a close minister of the emperor?"
Liu Biao thought about it and shook his head. "It's not clear, it has not been mentioned in the newspaper."
"What if it is true?" Liu Qi said: "The emperor valued the royal family, which is a rare opportunity. If Yuan Benchu is kind to Ah Weng, he will not treat Ah Weng as a royal family."
Liu Biao thought for a long time. "Let me ask Zhou Jiamou before I can talk about it."
"Here." Liu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Biao saw it and sighed in his heart.
He knew that Liu Qi was already moved. It was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Liu Qi to value the royal family. Young people all hoped to have the opportunity to make achievements. Liu Bei, Liu He, and of course Liu Qi could do it too.
Maybe he should be sent to the road.
It was already dark, Liu Qi left, and Liu Biao returned to the back house.
Mrs. Chen was not asleep yet and was talking to her concubine Cai. Seeing Liu Biao come in, Cai got up and bowed, smiled and retreated.
Liu Biao was a little strange. Chen and Cai have always been incompatible. Although they did not make a big fuss, they rarely gave each other a smile.
What happened today?
Chen saw Liu Biao's doubts and said lightly: "The Cai family is moved and wants to transport silk to Guanzhong for profit."
Liu Biao suddenly realized. "Cai Degui has come?"
"It should be right." Chen frowned slightly. "Can silk be sold in the Western Regions and sell it? Can you really make a hundred times more profit?"
"Just rumor, it's not credible." Liu Biao sneered: "How can there be such a profitable business in the world? It must be a rumor that businessmen value profits in order to raise prices."
Chen nodded and agreed. "How is your husband ready to deal with it?"
"Ignore him, he will transport it wherever he wants. At worst, I can drive more mulberry fields next year."
Liu Biao sat next to the couch, and Chen ordered the maid to prepare toiletries, and served Liu Biao. The two of them were talking nonsense. Chen said that according to Cai, Zhou Zhong caused a lot of sensation after he arrived in Xiangyang.
Not only Cai Mao, who wants to do business, but also other companies have actions.
Huang is the representative of this, and Huang Yanzhi is preparing to send his daughter to get married.
"When did Huang and Zhuge Liang get engaged?" Chen said in confusion.
Liu Biao thought for a long time before vaguely remembering something. "It seems that Huang Yan had a crush on Zhuge Liang, but he didn't hear it." Liu Biao suddenly stood up. "Is this what Cai Degui said?"
"Yes." Chen raised his eyelids. "The people of Xiangyang are volatile. If you don't take the initiative, you are afraid that you will get there and leave."
Liu Biao turned his head to look at Chen, and his mouth twitched, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
He rode alone into Yicheng, and if he left Xiangyang alone, it would be troublesome.
Liu Qi bowed his hands and trotted to Zhou Zhong, bowing.
"The back of Shanyang entered Liu Qi and asked Duke Zhou if he was fine."
Zhou Zhong looked at Liu Qi with a smile and nodded with satisfaction. "I am a son of the royal family, with a handsome appearance and a handsome talent. If the emperor sees you, he will definitely appreciate it."
Liu Qi was happy and quickly said modestly: "Mr. Zhou praised me and I am ashamed of it."
He is still very confident about his appearance. His father Liu Biao and his mother Chen are both outstanding people. He inherited his parents, who are more than eight feet tall and have a good facial features.
"Just a little thinner." Zhou Zhong said again.
The smile on Liu Qi's face froze immediately, a little embarrassed.
He is actually not thin, but he is not strong. After all, he is a high-ranking family and does not need to fight. Although Liu Biao is a state governor, he also advocates elegance and does not like martial artists. As Liu Biao's eldest son, he has no good feelings for martial artists.
.
"The emperor is surrounded by people with high martial arts skills?"
"The emperor practices martial arts every day, regardless of wind or rain." Zhou Zhong said with a slight : "It is hard to fight, climb ice and snow, how can you do without a good body? So the people around the emperor, regardless of gender, can ride horses and shoot arrows, even if they are not allowed to do so, even if they are not allowed to do so, they can ride horses and shoot arrows.
Not a master, but also a strong person.”
"The same is true for civil officials?"
"The same is true for civil officials. After Kong Ming arrived at the emperor, he had to get up in the morning to exercise every day."
Liu Qi's enthusiasm suddenly became half cold.
According to Zhou Zhong, even if he wants to serve the court, he may not have the opportunity to play.
"Boyu, are you in poor health?"
"Ah..." Liu Qi was a little embarrassed. "When I first arrived in Jingzhou, I was not accustomed to the local conditions and fell ill."
"Then you should practice martial arts even more." Zhou Zhong patted Liu Qi on the shoulder. "Practicing martial arts is not only for self-defense, but also for strengthening the body. Not everyone has to fight, but everyone wants to live longer,
Otherwise, how can you get better step by step?"
"Yes, yes." Liu Qi nodded perfunctorily, his mood was still very depressed.
Zhou Zhong saw it clearly and shook his head secretly.
Liu Biao was very angry, and Liu Qi was even more angry. Such people also wanted to rule over the country in troubled times?
After a few greetings, Liu Qi explained his purpose.
Liu Biao wanted to invite Zhou Zhong to the banquet to welcome Zhou Zhong.
Zhou Zhong agreed happily, followed Liu Qi out of the door, got in the car, and rushed all the way to the provincial governor's mansion.
Liu Biao descended to greet him and spoke to Zhou Zhong. Seeing that Liu Qi's expression was wrong, he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask much.
He led Zhou Zhong to the hall, and Liu Biao said half-jokingly: "Brother Jiamou, when you come, the entire Xiangyang City is moving. My state governor wants to welcome you, and he is one step slower until today."
"Then I'm not in a hurry. You can wait until you make a decision before talking." Zhou Zhong said, turning around and leaving.
Liu Biao hurriedly stopped him. "Brother Jiamou, why is this?"
"It's okay, I'll have nothing to do when I go back anyway. It's okay to go to Xiangyang for a few more days. But the man should take a step first, go to Nanyang or go there. There is Zhang Zhongjing in Nanyang, and Huayuanhua in Hua, all of them are first-class.
Famous doctors, please ask them to diagnose their pulse, don’t delay the condition and leave the root of the disease. Only with a good body can you enjoy peace.”
"Is the world going to be peaceful soon?" Liu Biao smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Zhong bowed his fingers. "It takes one or two years to get faster, but only three or five years to get slower. The emperor will be able to destroy the world and rebuild peace."
Liu Biao's eyes shrank slightly, and he turned his head to look at Liu Qi. "Brother Jiamou, can my son's illness be cured?"
"Of course, not being able to adapt to the environment is not a serious illness. As long as you are properly conditioned, you can recover soon." Zhou Zhong stroked his beard and said quietly: "Young people are in a time of vitality. As long as you are not afraid of suffering, what disease can't be cured?
