Liu Mingzhi pulled Liu Ying to a dark place under the corridor, and looked around again at the surrounding environment.
After confirming that there was no one else around, Young Master Liu let go of Liu Ying's wrist and squatted down on the steps beside him.
"Auntie, the most important thing is the hundreds of thousands of elite troops who have experienced hundreds of battles in the frontier army. We cannot leave them all to the hands of outsider generals to lead them.
Those are 400,000 iron-blooded elites who survived the battlefield that dominated the world. Which one of them has not experienced hundreds of battles? Which one of them is not a strong general who can fight one against ten.
Once these 400,000 elite troops turn against each other, Auntie, you can't think clearly about the consequences, right?
Among all the generals of the Western Expedition Army, if there are not some of my relatives and confidants, how can I rest assured?
After all, the child’s throne at that time was not right!
Baby, I don’t want to judge a gentleman with a villain’s heart, but I have to be careful, baby.
If something goes wrong among the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, the terrible consequences will be unpredictable, and the consequences will be unbearable for me.
The two commanders on the left and right of the Western Expedition were uncle Zhang Kuang and uncle Nangong Ye.
Nangong Shuai is the biological brother of the child's mother, the uncle of the old country of the previous dynasty, and the general of the Flying Eagle Guard.
Among them, the deputy commander, the military governor, Wanyan Chizha, Yeruha, Huyanyu, and my uncle, except for my uncle, the other three were all veteran generals of the former Jin Kingdom and the former Turks.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. If a few of them have some small thoughts, the child will be in a desperate situation.
At that time, the situation forced me to send troops to attack Dashi. Under the situation of Tianzhu and Tianzhu, if I didn't send my uncle to lead the army, who could be more suitable to send to lead the army?
I have enough reasons and enough confidence to believe that none of them will act rebellious against their children.
But no matter how much you believe them, your child must understand that meat cannot be put in the same pot.
Sometimes the child doesn't want to be like this, but the child has to be like this.
During the storm, the presence of spies in the ranks of Hai'er's soldiers sounded an alarm for Hai'er. Although Hai'er didn't want to be suspicious, he had to be on guard against the existence of spies in the ranks of the Western Expeditionary Army.
A few spies appearing in an army of hundreds of thousands may seem inconspicuous, and they may not be able to make any waves, but a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Once something goes wrong in the Western Expedition army, or something goes wrong in the capital, it will inevitably lead to internal and external troubles.
If this happens, not only the child, but also thousands of young and old in our Liu family will be killed by the sword.
The death of a seven-foot-old child was not a pity, but at that time, when the world had just stabilized, the death of the child meant that the world would soon be in chaos.
If the world is in chaos at that time, it will not be as simple as making a small fuss. It will be a real loss of life and people will not be able to survive!
Facts have proved that the decision made by the child was right.
only--
Auntie, I'm sorry, my child has suffered so much for your own selfish reasons.
But if I want to protect all of you, I will only wrong some people. And among that group of people, you, my aunt, are included.
I really don’t want to wrong you, but the general trend is that I really had no choice at that time.
If there is anything that can compensate for the grievances you have suffered, aunt, just ask, no matter what it is, I will accept it, my dear."
Under the faint light of the lanterns in the long corridor in the distance, Liu Ying's beautiful eyes looked calmly at the complex expression of sadness on Young Master Liu's face. She held up the hem of her cloud gauze skirt and squatted gently on Liu's face.
The young master came forward.
"Xiao Mingming, please stop talking. My sister was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously.
My sister didn't understand in her heart that part of the reason why Rotten Mumu led his troops to march westward was because he took the initiative to volunteer.
What about you soldiers? As soon as you hear that there is a war, you get so excited that you can even forget about your own wives and children.
Especially for those of you who are generals, this is even more outrageous. Even if you are buried in a coffin, when you hear the sound of war drums, you can't wait to get out of the grave and swing your weapons a few times.
Xiao Mingming, if you really didn't agree to that piece of shit and let him lead the Western expedition, I guess he would still be nagging in my sister's ears endlessly every day after so many years!
You originally wanted him to go, but he himself wanted to go even more. Under such a "love for a man and a concubine" situation, it would be really strange for him not to abandon his sister and lead the army to the west, but to leave my sister and me alone to guard the empty house.
It would be better if Rotten Wood led his troops on an expedition. Not only would I be able to be clean, sister, but I would also be able to change my taste without having to worry about going out of my way every day.
For decades, my sister has had enough of guarding that rotten piece of wood that doesn't understand the charm.
Wouldn't it be more enjoyable for a young, strong and energetic young man to use it than that piece of rotten wood?"
Young Master Liu waved his hands angrily when he heard Liu Ying's "wild" words that deliberately changed the subject: "Well, well, stop talking nonsense.
You are so old, you can’t talk fluently all day long. But as long as you can look away, aunt, my heart will feel better.
To be honest, the burden and pressure on children over the years has been extraordinary.
The army went west to conquer Dashi, and the affairs of the two small barbarian countries in Tianzhu could be said to affect the whole body. There was no room for any mistakes, and the slightest mistake could cause an uproar.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the Western Expedition has achieved successes one after another, and the pressure on the children has finally been reduced. However, this does not mean that the Western Expedition is completely over.
In the vast territory of the Far West, the Western Expedition Army still faced many troubles.
As long as the war doesn't really end, my dear, I won't be able to let go of the heavy burden on my body.
The Western Conquest of the Barbarian Countries is a centuries-old plan. It is not a great achievement that can be accomplished overnight. It would be better if I can accomplish it. Whether I accomplish it or not depends on the successor.
It is also not easy to choose a successor with both ability and political integrity to continue such great achievements!
The Western Expedition was an external pressure, and there was also endless pressure from within the imperial court.
Although I look like a normal person, spending my days leisurely and contentedly at the Gua stall, the pressure in my heart is not necessarily less than the pressure caused by the Western Expedition.
That is the matter of the Crown Prince and Crown Prince. The child is already forty years younger, and the children are all grown up. The boy Chengzhi has already married and established a family today.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty were anxious for the child to establish him as the crown prince as soon as possible in order to appease the people of the world. Why wasn't the child himself anxious?
But now among these grown-up children, those who are talented are not interested, and those who are not talented are not interested.
After urging and scolding, it was fine in person, but as soon as he turned around, things changed.
The characters of Yiyi, Feifei, Chengfeng and their three siblings are exactly the same as their mother Lian'er, they are gentle and don't argue about anything.
Chengzhi, this kid, seems to just let nature take its course and whoever I choose to be the crown prince will be crown prince and crown prince. Her sister Yaoyao is obsessed with the art of Qihuang and she entered the Ten Kings Palace on duty because of me.
Just because this girl has a gentle and gentle personality and doesn't want to make me angry, she obeys my arrangements honestly.
Cheng Qian was fine when he was a kid, but now he either hangs around with Lao San Mingjie all day long, or studies with a book in hand. I would feel better if you read some books about imperial power.
But aunt, you don’t know how infuriating the books that boy is reading are. Besides Confucian classics, are they so good?
The current prince is so obsessed with Confucianism, how can I, my child, rest assured?
I don't deny that Confucianism has its classics, but I can't focus entirely on Confucianism.
If I let him inherit the great cause, how can I rest assured if he relies solely on Confucianism to govern the country?
Let’s talk about the stinky girl Yue’er! According to the current situation, she is more suitable to inherit the throne than anyone else, but this stinky girl is from a daughter’s family. Even if you don’t like female celebrities and don’t want to inherit the great industry, you should do what a girl should do.
Things are fine too.
A young girl in her mid-twenties spends her whole day thinking about dressing up as a man and going to some brothel or boat to have fun, or to some fireworks place to drink and have fun. How can this be justified?
Our family has everything in the brothel, and you also have what the girls in the brothel have. Tell me, why do you, a grown-up girl, think about running to that kind of place all day long?
Can you do something or something?
In the past, I could just go there secretly, but later I even invited Chengzhi, Chenggan and his brothers to go there as a treat.
Now it's even more powerful, even Lian Niang, Lingyun, Zhenghao, Zhengran, Yunxin... and several of their little bastards have boarded her pirate ship.
The big ones are careless, the small ones are mentally ill.
Hei'er himself never expected that the position of crown prince that everyone in the world longed for would fall into his hands, and he couldn't give it away even if he wanted to.
Damn it, what kind of evil did I do in my previous life, young master, to give birth to such a bunch of unsatisfactory bastards..."
"Okay, okay, don't tell my sister these stupid things about you. My sister's head is almost as big as her chest when she hears it. I don't want to hear a word anymore."
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Ying's tireless expression under the bright moonlight, nodded with a wry smile and took off the cigarette pouch from her waist.
"If you don't want to hear it, let's stop talking. These things will be solved sooner or later. The main thing is that as long as you don't blame the children for uncle's things."
"Don't worry, my sister is angry because of this trivial matter! If I'm so angry, it's not my sister who feels bad.
But..."
"Nothing, just say it, aunt."
"You just seemed to say that you wanted to make up for my sister. You will agree to whatever my sister asks of you, right?"
"Of course, I owe you, my aunt, after all. If I can make it up to my aunt, I will do anything I can."
Liu Ying narrowed her charming peach blossom eyes, smiled and stretched out her hand to hold Young Master Liu's chin and smiled seductively.
"Sister, I don't have any excessive demands. If you sleep with me tonight, we'll be settled."
"Hang Chi...Hang Chi...Cough cough cough..."
Mr. Liu just took a puff of the lit dry smoke and blew it out. His face almost turned the color of pig liver due to the thick smoke.
"Again...you're here again."
Liu Ying stretched out her hand to fan the smoke in front of her. Looking at Young Master Liu who wanted to retreat immediately, she shrugged her shoulders boredly and slowly stretched her right hand in front of Young Master Liu.
"De Xing, sister gave you the opportunity but you didn't use it, take out the things and let sister see."
Young Master Liu subconsciously clamped his legs and took a few steps back. He leaned against the pillars in the corridor and looked at Liu Ying in panic.
"What...what?"
"It's an invitation! Looking at your dirty and cautious look, do you think your sister asked you to get something frivolous or useless?"
