"Mother, I know all these children you are talking about.
Moreover, I have never underestimated the old man's ability.
I think back then, the old man was a man who dared to compete with his child's father-in-law, Li Zheng, without falling behind.
My little boy, I have so little knowledge, how dare I underestimate him!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, and in a dignified manner he inserted the plum blossom branch in his hand on top of the snowman piled up by an unknown person next to him.
"Silly boy, it's good for you to know, and you can rest assured as a mother.
You must remember what my mother just said, and if you encounter any difficulties again, never bear it alone."
Liu Mingzhi felt Mrs. Liu's caring tone and nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, baby knows, baby knows."
"Zhi'er."
"Mother?"
"Would you like to think carefully about the topic we just talked about?"
"Mother, are you talking about inviting uncle and aunt to the full moon banquet?"
Mrs. Liu nodded with a slight smile and said, "Yes, that's the matter.
My child, my mother just thought about it.
Before you make up your mind, let Chengfeng and Chengzhi cultivate their own power among their brothers and sisters.
You should at least let the cousins, brothers and sisters below meet each other first, get to know each other, and keep in touch with each other.
As long as their cousins, brothers and sisters are familiar with each other, you can wait until you make up your mind.
The brothers and sisters can also get along well with each other as soon as possible."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment thoughtfully, then smiled and nodded.
"Okay, as long as uncle, aunt, aunt, and uncle don't find it troublesome to come to the capital for the banquet.
It is up to my mother to invite them to the banquet."
Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and patted Young Master Liu on the shoulder with a smile.
"Silly boy, you are right to think so.
I’m telling you, after all, it’s more reliable for your own use!”
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his hands, chuckled and breathed hot air into his palms.
"Mother, my child understands."
Mrs. Liu turned around to observe the surrounding situation, and gently tugged on Young Master Liu's sleeve.
"child."
Seeing Mrs. Liu's cautious expression, Dashan Liu couldn't help but become confused.
"Well, mother, what's wrong?"
"My child, I haven't finished speaking to my mother yet!"
Young Master Liu quickly said: "Mother, please continue speaking, my child is listening."
"Son, you can feel free to use it with your family, but there is one thing you must be careful about."
Young Master Liu pondered for a moment, roughly guessing what his young man wanted to say.
However, he still made a puzzled expression and asked softly: "Mother, I wonder what point you are talking about?"
"My relatives are taking power!"
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and nodded imperceptibly.
as expected.
What Mrs. Liu said was just as she had expected.
"Zhi'er."
"Hmm, mom, tell me."
"Remember me as a mother, after your cousins, nephews and nieces are arranged by you in the future.
You can use their siblings, and you can reuse their siblings.
However, there is one thing you must remember.
That is, they cannot be given too much power.
It’s okay to grant greater rights in private, but the rights in public must not be granted too much.”
Liu Mingzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and patted his brows a few times with a smile.
"Mother, isn't that the case?"
"How come it's not the case? Since ancient times, haven't there been many cases of relatives taking over power?
As a mother, I can..."
As Mrs. Liu talked, she noticed that the smile on her son's face was getting stronger and stronger.
In an instant, she suddenly reacted.
"Mother, why didn't you say anything?"
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes angrily, put away the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and hit Young Master Liu hard on the back.
"You brat, are you trying to trick your mother into me?"
Young Master Liu felt the strong wind behind him and quickly dodged to the side.
He looked at the umbrella in Mrs. Liu's hand and immediately waved her hand cheerfully.
"Mom, no, no, I definitely don't mean this."
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu shook her head angrily.
"You brat, just make excuses."
Liu Mingzhi walked silently to Mrs. Liu's body and let out a long breath.
"Mom, to be honest, I was just trying to tell you this.
I didn't expect that you would tell the child first."
"My child, although my mother was born in the Bai family of Donghai, my mother will be buried in the ancestral grave of your Liu family in the future!
On one side are his grandsons and granddaughters, on the other side are his nephews and nieces.
When they are put together, it is clear who is the mother and who is the mother."
"Yes, yes, these children you are talking about understand better than anyone else.
Mother, you don’t need to tell me, my baby also knows that you must love Chengzhi, Yaoyao, Yue’er and their brothers and sisters more.”
Mrs. Liu looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and opened the oil-paper umbrella in her hand again.
"You still have a conscience, kid.
But then again.
It is impossible for your mother to have your uncle and aunt come to the banquet without any selfish motives.
After all, they are mother's biological brothers and sisters.
As a mother, I have to think a little bit about their descendants.
Zhi'er, you should be able to understand this, right?"
Liu Mingzhi said without hesitation: "Mother, of course I can understand my child. This is just human nature."
"As long as you understand, that's fine."
Young Master Liu saw Mrs. Liu's pleased expression, folded his hands on his chest, and looked towards the main hall in the distance, which was already shrouded in snow, with a smile.
"Mother."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"The words you just said probably weren't what you meant, but what the old man meant, right?"
Madam Liu was stunned when she heard this, and looked helplessly towards the direction of the main hall through Xue Mu in front of her.
"This this!"
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at his mother standing next to him with a faint smile.
"Mom, you don't need to explain anything. The old man's meaning is clear to my heart.
The real intention of you two elders is to hope that I will appoint the crown prince and crown prince as soon as possible.
Mother, are you right?"
Madam Liu looked hesitant and silent for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.
"What your father said is absolutely right. It's not easy to hide it from you!"
"Hehehe, as the saying goes, no one knows his son better than his father, and vice versa!"
"Zhi'er, please don't think too much. We, mother and your father, have absolutely no intention of interfering with your thoughts."
"Mother, please don't explain anything.
The hard work you two have put in is very clear to my heart.
Your son, I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know what’s good or bad!”
Mrs. Liu put the oil-paper umbrella aside with a smile, raised her hand and took off her cloak and put it on Young Master Liu.
"My child, you have said so, what else can I say for my mother!"
"Mother, I'm not cold. You can keep wearing this cloak."
"Zhi'er, my mother has said everything she needs to say.
For my mother’s sake, it’s time for me to go back. It’s better for you to wear this big cloak yourself.”
"this."
"Put it on. There is a big cloak in my mother's room. I will put it on myself when I get back."
"Okay, then the kid will put it on."
"Son, as for the banquet, I will discuss it with Yun'er, Yan'er, the sisters and others."
"No problem, mother, you just have to figure it out."
"Hmm, Mom, I know. Do you want to go back? Or do you want to stay in the garden for a while?"
Liu Mingzhi fastened his cloak and looked sadly at the sky filled with crystal snowflakes.
"Mother, my child wants to stay alone in the garden for a while, so you should go back first."
Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, picked up the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and threw it into her son's hand, and then she leaped towards the distance in an erratic manner.
Young Master Liu looked at the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and looked stunned.
When he was about to say something, Mrs. Liu's figure had disappeared into the garden.
Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly, held up the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and hurried out of the house with steady steps.
After a long time.
Young Master Liu's figure appeared on the official road outside the east gate of the capital.
He held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a delicate food box in the other.
His steady and heavy figure stretched further and further away from the endless official road.
Liu Mingzhi tightened his cloak and looked back at the capital behind him.
On this day of family reunion.
Among the accompanying mausoleums of his imperial mausoleum, there is a lonely person waiting for him to accompany him!
"Oh! Tao Ying, Tao Ying.
You silly woman, wait a little longer and your husband will come to see you."
Young Master Liu sighed to himself, and his figure gradually blended into the boundless snowy scenery of the same color as the sky and the earth.
Half a day later.
Young Master Liu's figure gradually walked into the imperial mausoleum that was already completely white.
"If anyone comes from ahead, retreat immediately.
This is an important place for the imperial court and no unauthorized entry is allowed."
Liu Mingzhi looked calmly at the dozens of soldiers who suddenly rushed out from the ground in front of him, and silently raised the oil-paper umbrella in his hand higher.
"Liu Mingzhi."
The leading general was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put away the weapon in his hand and faced Young Master Liu.
"Big... handsome?"
Young Master Liu looked at the oncoming general in front of him, and his face suddenly became surprised.
"Wang Yunge, the general who supervised the construction of the imperial tomb for me is actually a piece of shit like you."
The general whom Young Master Liu called Wang Yunge looked at Young Master Liu excitedly and quickly knelt down on one knee to perform a military salute.
"Your Majesty, King Yunge, is here to see you. Long live my emperor."
The soldiers behind Wang Yunge knelt down on one knee with equally excited expressions.
"We see your majesty, long live my emperor."
"You will be excused from the gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Wang Yunge stood up, he looked at Mr. Liu nervously.
"Commander, no no no, Your Majesty, are you the only one here?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and turned to look at the vast white snowy field behind him.
“Wang Yunge, there’s nothing wrong with your damn eyes, right?
Take a look behind me, does it look like I'm following someone else?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there is no one left, there is no one left."
"Yunge."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"You'd better call me Marshal. It sounds awkward for you old brothers to call me His Majesty."
Wang Yunge looked embarrassed and suddenly became at a loss.
"Uh! This! This!"
When Liu Mingzhi saw Wang Yunge's reaction, he shook his head angrily and replied with a calm expression.
"Um?"
"Yes, I will obey your orders, Commander-in-Chief."
Young Master Liu nodded cheerfully, raised his head and gestured in the direction of the imperial mausoleum.
"Let's go and accompany me to the imperial mausoleum."
"I will obey your orders, Commander-in-Chief."
"Commander please!"
"Um."
"Commander, in this kind of weather, why did you come alone to the imperial mausoleum that is being built?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the imperial mausoleum in front of him, which had been suspended for a long time, and said with a faint smile: "Is it okay for me to come and see where I will rest in the future?"
When Wang Yunge heard Young Master Liu's words, he immediately trembled and didn't know how to answer the words.
"Uh! Uh! The last general, the last general."
"Yunge."
"The end will be here."
"How is the construction of my commander's main mausoleum going now?"
"Coming back to Commander-in-Chief, compared to a year ago, there has been little progress.
This year, the craftsmen had just been working for more than a month, and then all work was stopped again."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently and took a deep breath.
"There is no way, there are too many places to use money in the world.
There are so many that even the imperial mausoleum where your commander-in-chief and I will rest in the future have to temporarily stop construction."
Wang Yunge looked at Mr. Liu's sighing expression and just nodded silently without saying anything more.
The affairs of the DPRK are not something that a general can interfere with.
"Yunge."
"Commander?"
"The soldiers are stationed here, and their daily food and clothing expenses are okay, right?"
"Back to Marshal, the supply of food and clothing was very timely.
During the monthly holidays, without any urging from the brothers, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue delivered everything the brothers needed."
"That's good, that's good. Is it cold in the cave where you usually rest?"
"Commander, to be honest, it's much warmer in a cave than at home.
Every time we took a shift, the brothers would change out of their cold clothes as soon as they returned to the cave."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Wang Yunge's answer without hesitation, he chuckled and nodded this time.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Come back, Marshal, it's our honor."
Liu Mingzhi turned around and looked at Wang Yunge and dozens of soldiers behind him, and gently breathed out a warm breath.
"Yunge."
"The end will be here."
"You can take the soldiers back and have a rest. I can just go around alone."
"Commander, how can that be done?
Why don't you let the brothers go back and rest first, and I will accompany you for a while."
"Um?"
"Commander, you are really worried about being alone!"
"Wang Yunge, this is an order."
Wang Yunge's body tensed up, and he bowed to Young Master Liu helplessly.
"The general will obey his orders."
"No one is allowed to come within five hundred steps of me without my order."
"Yes, the general will take your orders."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently and walked slowly towards the direction of the mausoleum.
Wang Yunge watched as Young Master Liu's figure gradually melted into the snow, sighed and waved to the soldiers behind him.
"Brothers, take a look around five hundred steps away from the mausoleum.
Then he informed the brothers who were resting in the cave that they were not allowed to come within five hundred steps of the first tomb without orders.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"General, is it really okay for the commander to be alone?
Otherwise, let’s arrange for a few more groups of brothers to patrol the surrounding areas, right?”
"Yuan Jie, if you want to be whipped, don't implicate me."
