Chapter 54: Liu Zhang's Position at the Palace Banquet
Chapter 54 Liu Zhang’s position at the palace banquet
When Liu Zhang asked this, Liu Hong was extremely embarrassed. Although Wang Meiren could be regarded as Liu Zhang's imperial sister-in-law, she was just a beauty! In ordinary people, she was just a concubine, no different from a pig, dog, cow or horse. The imperial sister-in-law in Liu Zhang's mouth was just a concubine.
It could be He Lingsi, unless Liu Hong straightened up Beauty Wang. Unfortunately, Liu Hong wanted to do this, and the civil and military officials would not agree, let alone Liu Zhang. What's more, Liu Zhang knew that Beauty Wang had not threatened He Lingsi yet.
, otherwise she would already be a dead person!
Liu Hong stared at Liu Zhang for a long time, and suddenly ordered Zhang Rang: "Go and call Queen He and Bian'er!"
"Yes!" Zhang Rang knew that He Lingsi and Liu Hong were a bit unfamiliar during this period. Ultimately, it was because He Jin, an idiot, fell in love with a wealthy family. Now that Liu Zhang came to Beijing and turned a blind eye to Wang Meiren, Liu Hong actually had no objection. Zhang Rang was immediately stunned.
I understand, with Liu Zhang’s support, He Lingsi is going to stand up. Unless Liu Zhang is an idiot like He Jin and falls in love with a wealthy family. Unfortunately, this will never be possible!
Seeing Liu Hong's reaction, Liu Zhang knew that he had made the right bet. He said with a playful smile: "Brother Huang, you also know that I have been very close to the emperor's wife since I was a child. Now that I have finally come back, you actually want me to
"I just invited the emperor's sister-in-law to come, it really hurts my brother's heart!"
Liu Hong stood up with the wine glass and said, "It's not my fault. Come on, I'll toast you and make amends!"
"Slow down! Come on!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Brother, if you want to propose a toast to me, my brother will not refuse. After all, I have made our royal family proud in Youzhou. If you want to apologize, my brother.
I dare not take it seriously. Not to mention that you are the emperor, but that you are my brother, I cannot accept your apology!"
Liu Hong laughed and said: "Then I'll toast you. I hope you can win a few more majestic victories for me!"
Liu Zhang said seriously: "Whenever the emperor has his destiny and the Han Dynasty is in chaos, it is my duty to serve as my brother!"
"Okay! This is the good son of the Liu family!" Liu Hong said happily: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Brother Emperor, if you have anything to do, just give me your orders. Why discuss it?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "My brother once said during the military training that the first priority of a soldier is to obey orders and follow the command. Brother Huang's orders, my brother will naturally obey unconditionally!"
"It's not that serious!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "I just want you to stay in Luoyang to help me train my troops! Those rubbish in the Beijing camp, even the Yulin Army can't form combat effectiveness. I want to make you the Five-Fun Zhonglang
General, be responsible for training the Yulin Army, how about that?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "The Yulin Army is the imperial brother's personal guard. The emperor is giving me face! How can I not take it? It's just that I am worried about the big family causing trouble. The emperor also knows that today's Beijing
In the camp, most of the officers in the Yulin Army are descendants of aristocratic families. If you want me to train an iron army, these people will definitely be a problem!"
"These people are incompetent in fighting, but they are good at making trouble!" Liu Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Go ahead and do it, I will support you in everything!"
"My brother, I have been waiting for your words!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "As long as the emperor supports me, my brother will feel at ease!"
Liu Hong asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Brother Imperial, I am going to let Huang Zhong go to Youzhou with his father. After all, there is no general guarding Youzhou. If Wuwan comes to take revenge, it will be troublesome!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "As for me, I have Zhang Ren, Huang Xu,
With the help of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Shi A, it will be a piece of cake to command more than ten thousand elite soldiers."
"Really?" Liu Hong really didn't believe it. Although Liu Zhang defeated Karasuma, in Liu Hong's heart, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan probably deserved more credit. You know, Liu Zhang and others were only thirteen or fourteen years old. If so,
If Huo Qubing happened to the big man, Liu Hong could still accept it. If four or five Huo Qubing happened, wouldn't all the emperors have eyes? But Liu Hong didn't know that Huang Zhong had done a lot to fight Wu Pill, but he didn't have Yan Yan.
thing!
Facts speak louder than words. Liu Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Emperor, no matter how much you talk, it is better to be practical. Brother Emperor, please wait and see!" Liu Zhang was so confident that Liu Hong would certainly not pour cold water on him. Besides,
Liu Hong really hopes that Liu Zhang can succeed. After all, in Liu Hong's heart, Liu Zhang is his confidant.
Just when Liu Hong and Liu Zhang were discussing the issue of staying or leaving, He Lingsi came to the announcement room under the leadership of Zhang Rang. In He Lingsi's hand, he was holding a five or six-year-old baby. When the queen came, everyone naturally stood up and saluted. He Lingsi saw
Liu Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "The champion of this dynasty is back?"
"I've seen the emperor's sister-in-law!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I just arrived in the capital today and I was called by the emperor's brother! I just didn't see the emperor's sister-in-law, so I took the liberty to ask."
"You are the only one who still remembers me now!" He Lingsi glanced at Liu Hong with some resentment, and Liu Hong's scalp suddenly felt numb.
Liu Zhang could not embarrass Liu Hong. He also knew that it was very common for men to like the new and dislike the old. As an emperor's woman, she must endure loneliness. Liu Zhang smiled and said: "The emperor's sister-in-law is joking! How can the emperor not miss you? Emperor.
Sister-in-law, that little kid next to you must be my imperial nephew!"
"Bian'er, do you still salute the emperor's uncle?" He Lingsi knew that Liu Zhang could not say anything wrong about the emperor, so he cleverly changed the subject. However, this embarrassed Liu Bian.
Liu Bian was timid by nature. It was rare that he saw so many outsiders today. He had already hid behind He Lingsi. Now being pulled out by He Lingsi to salute, Liu Bian trembled and stammered before bowing: "Bye...bye...
…Emperor…Uncle Emperor!”
"Imperial sister-in-law! The emperor's nephew is not so courageous. Our Liu family must stand upright!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It just so happens that the emperor wants to keep me in the capital, so that the little emperor's nephew can get closer to me in the future. I was only five years old at the time.
, but it is daring!”
"That's natural. If the emperor stays in Luoyang, Bian'er will naturally get closer to you!" He Lingsi was very smart. She immediately understood Liu Zhang's intention. Her beautiful big eyes kept shining at the side.
It’s time to catch up with the flashlight!
"Shi A, Huang Xu! Go and get the meeting gift I prepared for the little emperor's nephew!" Since he wants to support He Lingsi, he must put pressure on Liu Hong. To be honest, Liu Zhang doesn't have a good impression of Wang Meiren. In his opinion,
Come on, although He Lingsi is a little clever, he is not the kind of person who kills people just because of jealousy. Palace struggles have always been dark, so Liu Zhang naturally wanted to choose the side that was advantageous. He was familiar with history, so naturally he would not choose Wang Meiren.
Shi A and Huang Xu carried up a bunch of things, many of which Liu Zhang had snatched from Wuhuan Mountain. Although Liu Bian had seen many good things in the palace, foreign things were very rare. He looked at the things in front of Liu Zhang.
He wanted to pass the toy, but also flinched. He Lingsi smiled and said: "Bian'er, that's your uncle. If you don't go over quickly, if the emperor gets angry, I won't give it to you!"
Liu Bian looked at his mother, then at Liu Zhang, and then he boldly moved over step by step. Before he could get the things, Liu Zhang had already put him in his arms. Liu Bian, who was originally very timid, said he should cry.
, unexpectedly he actually smiled sweetly at Liu Zhang and said: "Uncle Emperor!"
Liu Zhang was so happy that he put Liu Bian down and said, "Okay! Everything there is yours, go and play with it!" After saying that, Liu Zhang glanced at Beauty Wang with the corner of his eye and saw her looking at her.
Liu Bian's eyes were full of viciousness. Liu Zhang cursed in his heart: What a woman who doesn't know how to live or die!
Liu Hong, who was sitting in the first place, remained silent. When he saw Liu Bian and Liu Zhang being intimate, he suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. Indeed, when it comes to age and origin, Miss Wang is much better than He Lingsi, but when it comes to beauty, they are not that different.
Da. Because of a beauty, his son was closer to others than to himself. Liu Hong decided to pay more attention to Liu Bian in the future.
A palace banquet ended with Liu Zhang and others having a good time. If there were other thoughts in their hearts, it was Liu Hong and Wang Meiren. One of them felt that they had neglected their wife and children, the other felt that it was time to attack Liu Bian, and He Lingsi
But he was proud.
Returning to Zongzheng Mansion, of course, it has now been changed to Liu Mansion. Liu Zhang’s three brothers had been waiting at home for a long time. After bowing to Liu Yan and his wife, Liu Hao and Liu Dan laughed and said, "I thought the eldest brother would inherit his father's legacy."
The title should be for the first one among us to be granted the title of Marquis. Unexpectedly, my fourth brother was awarded the title of Champion Marquis when he was only thirteen years old. Now we are the only two without the title!"
"Second brother, is it not easy for third brother to get a title?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "In the future, if I have merit, I will try my best to pin it on you. No princes dare to think about it, but at least I can be a Tinghou!"
"Are you serious? The fourth brother can't make fun of his brothers!" Liu Hao and Liu Dan's eyes became sharp and they stared at Liu Zhang without blinking.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "I take it seriously! As the saying goes: Don't let others go. Now my contribution is big enough. No matter how great it is, I will have to overtake the master! Since I want to give the credit to others, let me ask my brothers, except
Who among you is worthy of my merits? As for Zilong, Yide and the others, as long as I make meritorious deeds, how can I miss them?"
Not only Liu Dan, but also Liu Hao laughed, and even Liu Yan laughed. As the saying goes: brothers fight tigers, father and son go into battle! Liu Zhang can take care of his brothers like this, and Liu Yan can rest in peace even if he dies.
After sending Liu Dan, Liu Hao, and Liu Fan away, Liu Yan called Liu Zhang to the study. He was very puzzled by Liu Zhang's performance in the palace today. In Liu Yan's view, even if Liu Zhang wanted to support Liu Bian and Queen He,
There is no need to be at odds with Beauty Wang.
Looking at Liu Yan with a confused look on his face, Liu Zhang suddenly smiled and said: "Father, you are much more experienced than me in politics, but you are not as good as me in looking at people. Today is not that I want to antagonize Beauty Wang, but that I must
Be on good terms with Queen He! If I don’t express my position clearly, my status in His Majesty’s heart will drop a lot!”
"How do you say this?" Liu Yan is an old fox in politics, and his specialty is to protect himself wisely. With his character, he is more conservative than aggressive. At this time, Liu Zhang needs to keep making progress.
I saw Liu Zhang Yaoyao saying: "Although His Majesty loves Wang Meiren, it is just a whim. In fact, His Majesty is still a very emotional person. If I alienate Queen He because she has fallen out of favor, then the Emperor will be worried. If I meet
If you seek profit, will you forget his righteousness?"
