Listening to Nangong Ye's hesitant tone, Zhang Kuang raised his eyebrows strangely.
"Oh? Are you scared too? Are you really or not?"
Nangong Ye looked at Zhang Kuang's weird expression and nodded with a wry smile.
"Hehehe, just like what you said just now, brother, it was a conspiracy that caught you off guard.
In this case, how could I not be afraid?
In the situation just now, I was afraid that I might accidentally say the wrong thing."
Zhang Kuang took a sip of wine and shook his head happily.
"Hehehe, it turns out that Brother Nangong, you are also scared."
Nangong Ye quickly glanced at the cheerful Zhang Kuang and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Nonsense, I am also a human being, so of course I know how to be afraid.
Okay, okay, let’s not talk about these things for now.
Brother Zhang, do you think what His Majesty just said to our brothers is serious?"
Hearing Nangong Ye's seemingly pointed question, Zhang Kuang's drinking movement stopped abruptly, and an imperceptible light flashed quickly in his old eyes.
"Brother Nangong, Your Majesty just said such words to us, what words were you talking about?"
"Brother Zhang, we are all smart people, so this would be meaningless."
"Hehehe, Brother Nangong, I really don't understand what you are saying.
Otherwise, just get tired and give me a heads up."
Seeing that Zhang Kuang persisted in pretending to be confused, Nangong Ye looked around with vague eyes to observe the surrounding situation, and moved closer to Zhang Kuang intentionally or unintentionally.
"Brother Zhang, do you think His Majesty is serious about being crowned king?"
When Zhang Kuang saw Nangong Ye, he couldn't help but ask this question after all, and couldn't help but frown.
"What? Brother Nangong, do you really have this idea?"
Nangong Ye listened to Zhang Kuang's rhetorical question, quickly glanced at Young Master Liu's back, and then shook his head slightly at Zhang Kuang.
"Brother Zhang, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not very interested in the matter of becoming a king.
We brothers have been veterans for several dynasties. There are many things that you know in your heart and I know in my heart too.
To be crowned king is, at best, just to look more distinguished.
In fact, it is not so easy to become a prince.
Compared to being crowned king, the position of Duke is more comfortable.
At the very least, live a solid and comfortable life.”
Zhang Kuang's face suddenly became confused when he saw Nangong Ye speaking so frankly.
"Brother Nangong, since you know everything and understand everything, how about you still?"
Looking at the confused expression on Zhang Kuang's old face, Nangong Ye raised his hand and stroked the gray beard on his chin a few times, and sighed softly with emotion.
"well."
"Brother Zhang, you also know that I have six sons, five daughters and eleven children.
Brother, you also know the rules of inheritance of imperial titles.
In the future, when I am a hundred years old, only one of their brothers and sisters will be able to inherit my title.
Therefore, I want to take advantage of my own lifetime, while I can still fight enemies and make achievements, to save a little more wealth for the other children.
One day, after I pass away, my children will be able to live a better life with the wealth I earned for them."
After listening to Nangong Ye's words, Zhang Kuang raised his wine bag with a sad expression and drank several large sips of the wine.
"Brother Nangong, that old saying is absolutely true. How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!"
"Hehehe, a father always hopes that his children can live a better life, right?"
Zhang Kuang wiped the drink from his gray beard and nodded silently.
"Indeed."
"So, in my opinion, Brother Zhang, do you think what His Majesty just said is serious?"
Zhang Kuang was silent for a moment and looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly.
“Brother Nangong, it’s not easy to talk about this kind of thing.
Although Your Majesty would not joke with us about such a thing, who can guarantee that His Majesty is serious about what he said?
As far as the current situation is concerned, the only thing we can do is to take it one step at a time."
Nangong Ye gently took a puff of the dry cigarette, chuckled and nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
"Brother Nangong, we are all at this age, sometimes we should be more open-minded.
Everything in the world is a blessing to me, and a blessing to me if I lose it.
It's because we can't run away, it's not that we can't catch it.
It’ll be fine once you understand it, and it’ll be fine once you figure it out.”
As soon as he finished his arrogant words, Young Master Liu's angry voice came from the front.
"Uncle, uncle, Brother Huyan, what are you all muttering behind?
I still have something I haven’t explained clearly to you, so why don’t you hurry up and follow me.”
When the generals heard Young Master Liu's angry tone, they quickly quickened their pace.
"Yes, it's coming, it's coming."
"Your Majesty, I will be here soon."
Liu Mingzhi looked back at the generals who were following him, and shook his head angrily.
"Uncle, what are you mumbling about in the back?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, I have just been discussing how to support Your Majesty, your empresses, Your Highness the Princess, and Your Highness King Wuyi in the evening."
"Yes, yes, we are discussing what kind of wine and food should be prepared."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the group of generals suspiciously, and raised his eyebrows slightly with a half-smile.
"real?"
"Your Majesty, of course it is true."
"I second the proposal."
Young Master Liu chuckled and nodded, then suddenly turned his attention to Song Qing.
"Brother, is that so?"
Seeing Young Master Liu suddenly starting to ask about Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Wanyan Chiezha, Cheng Kai and the others suddenly felt their hearts tremble in unison.
I was so busy talking that I forgot that King Wuyi was also standing beside me.
A group of people still had cheerful smiles on their faces, but they were nervous.
However, under the current situation, they could only look at Young Master Liu with smiles on their faces and did not dare to look at Song Qing at all.
He was afraid that his actions would attract Young Master Liu's attention.
Song Qing turned around and looked at Mr. Liu, cheerfully raising the wine bag in his hand to signal.
"Third brother, I'm really sorry.
Brother, I was only focused on drinking and admiring the scenery outside the city, and didn't notice what the two uncles, several seniors, and brothers were talking about."
Hearing Song Qing's answer, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded.
"Okay, let's keep walking."
A group of generals heard Song Qing's answer to Young Master Liu, and their nervous minds instantly relaxed.
After Young Master Liu turned around and continued walking forward, they all gave Song Qing a grateful look while walking.
Song Qing noticed that everyone was looking at him, looked at the wilderness outside the city with a smile, happily held up the wine bag and took a big sip of wine.
"Two uncles."
"The old minister is here."
"The old minister is here."
"As for the reuse of Alexander Peter, King of Rome, you should draft a charter as soon as possible when you have nothing to do."
After hearing this, Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye immediately hugged each other.
"Yes, I obey my orders."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, then turned to look at Wanyan Chiezha, Hu Yanyu, Yunchong, and Yeleha.
"Uncle, Brother Huyan, uncle, don't be idle. When you have time, help Zhang Shuai and Nangong Shuai to refer to it.
If you have any good ideas, don’t hide them, just tell them directly.
One person is short-term and many are long-term.
When it’s time to brainstorm, you should brainstorm more.”
"I obey your orders."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and stretched with a slightly tired look.
"That's all for now. Let's continue walking around with this young master."
"I will obey your orders, Your Majesty."
After Liu Mingzhi poured out the last bit of melon seeds from the small cloth bag, he looked towards the cutie with a faint smile.
"Yue'er."
When the little cutie heard the sound, he immediately took away the telescope in front of his eyes and turned to look at his father.
"Hey, Daddy, what's wrong?"
Mr. Liu gestured with the small cloth bag in his hand and threw it directly towards the little cutie.
"then."
"Why."
The little cutie raised her hand and took the small cloth bag in her hand. She shook it gently a few times to make sure it was empty, and then stuffed the small cloth bag directly on her belt.
Immediately, she watched Young Master Liu and the others pat the other small cloth bag on Liu's waist with their backhands.
"Dad, uncle, uncle, Yue'er, there are some nuts, peach kernels, almonds and other snacks here. Would you like some too?"
Young Master Liu glanced at the other small cloth bag on the little cute Liu's waist and shook his head with a smile.
"No, my tongue feels uncomfortable after eating too much."
"Yue'er, my uncle's teeth are broken and he can't eat nuts anymore. You can keep them for yourself."
"Your Highness the Princess, there is no need for me and others."
"Well, you won't eat it yourself, but I'm not stingy."
When a group of people heard what the little cutie said, they all laughed happily.
Liu Mingzhi walked on the edge of the city wall, eating melon seeds and admiring the scenery outside the city.
Half a day later.
Young Master Liu, Little Cutie, and Zhang Kuang walked around the four city walls before returning to the tower on the east wall.
When Young Master Liu and the others returned to the tower, they laughed and ate the fine wine and delicacies presented by the soldiers.
Young Master Liu glanced at the food and wine on the two dining tables, and walked towards the beauties with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it's quite rich!"
Qi Yun, Wen Ren Yunshu, Qi Ya and the other sisters stood up from their chairs one after another when they saw their husbands walking towards their sisters.
"Husband, you are back."
"Well, I'm back."
"Husband, are you full just now? If you are not full yet, why not sit down and eat some more."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the fine wine and delicacies on the table and nodded happily.
Then, he rolled up his chair and sat directly on the chair next to him.
"Okay, then husband, just eat some more.
Yun'er, Yan'er, you sisters, please take a seat as well."
"Yeah, yeah, sisters, I know."
"Hey, thank you husband."
After Qi Yun sat down, she waved to the little cutie with a smile on her face.
"Yue'er, you didn't eat anything just now, so you went wandering around with your father.
You've been wandering around for so long, you must be hungry, right?
Come on, come on, sit down and eat together."
The little cutie smiled, looked at Qi Yun and nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, Yue'er knows, thank you, mother."
Immediately, the little cutie reached around Liu's waist, pulled out a chair, and sat down directly next to Young Master Liu.
After Liu Mingzhi took a few bites of the dishes, he looked sideways at Song Qing, Liu Song, Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng and others, and pointed with his chopsticks to the table next to him filled with wine and food.
"Brother, Liu Song, Du Yu, Ming Feng, please stop standing and sit down to eat."
"Okay, brother, I know."
"Hey, young Master Xie."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."
After Song Qing and others sat down, Young Master Liu swallowed the food in his mouth, first turned his head to look at the food on the tables next to him, and then waved his hands to Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and the others.
"Uncle, uncle, when I climbed the city wall, you should have been drinking happily.
You have been walking around with me for so long just now. You should have almost sobered up from the drunkenness you had before.
There is still a lot of food and wine left on the table, please continue eating and don't let it go to waste."
After hearing Young Master Liu's words, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Zhaizha, Yun Chong and the other generals straightened their expressions, and they all fisted together.
"Your Majesty, please take your seats soon."
"Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a group of generals returned to their seats, they all picked up their wine glasses and turned their attention to Young Master Liu.
Seeing this situation, Liu Mingzhi waved his hand quickly.
"Stop, stop, stop, sir, we have been traveling for a long time, and now we are exhausted both physically and mentally.
Next, just drink it yourself.
After I have had a good rest and regained my energy, I will have a good drink with you before resting."
As soon as Young Master Liu said this, a group of generals immediately put down their wine glasses.
"Your Majesty, I won't toast you anymore."
"Okay, okay, just drink it yourself."
"I understand."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hands happily and continued to enjoy the fine wine and food on the table.
Murong Shan picked up a dish and put it into the rice bowl in Young Master Liu's hand with a smile.
"Husband, come and try this dish from a big food country. It tastes pretty good. I don't know what it's called.
If you like to eat, when my sisters have free time, we will go to their cook to ask for advice."
"Okay, okay, then I'll give it a try as my husband."
"Daguoguo, this dish tastes good too. You should try it too."
