Ten years of life and death

Seventeen

In an unknown suburb in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Changying happily walked home with the things he just bought from the market. Go home and have a look, there are many officers and soldiers at your house.

officers and soldiers?Liu Changying, who hadn't been an official for a long time, was confused and ran home quickly with his things.

Seeing Xianggong came back, Zhang Xin's bewildered face stretched, Chang Ying, Zhao Ting came, and brought the emperor's imperial edict.

Brother Liu, how have you been all these years?Li Zhaoting went up to meet him.

Liu Changying looked at the officers and soldiers standing in the yard and asked Li Zhaoting, Brother Li, why are there so many officers and soldiers here?

This?

Liu Changying, your father ordered you to return to Beijing, you can accept the order, the crown prince took the imperial order and walked to Liu Changying's side.

Prince, you are here too. Liu Changying's face changed when he saw the prince. He thought of what his mother had said to him when he was dying.

Prince, Brother Li, please go back, I have long since stopped asking about the affairs of the court, simple tea and light food are what I want in this life, Liu Changying carefully helped Zhang Xin into the house, and closed the door.

Long win, it must be something happened in the capital, otherwise they wouldn't come to you.

Xin'er, the world has nothing to do with me, I only care about you and our children, I bought chicken today, and I will make soup for you later.

Long win, no matter what decision you make, I will listen to you.

Well, you sit still, I'll cook, Liu Changying squatted down in front of Zhang Xin with a smile on his face, son, be obedient in mother's womb, daddy will cook for you.

Seeing that Liu Changying closed the door, Li Zhaoting stepped forward and asked the prince, what should the prince do now?

Come, pass the order down, set up camp on the spot, and don't disturb ordinary people, the prince received the imperial edict and spoke.

As night fell and the lights were lit, Zhang Xin looked through the window and saw that a dozen tents had been set up in front of the house. She couldn't help but feel a little worried that the comfortable life she longed for might come to an end.

Xin'er, be careful, don't look at it, Liu Changying stepped forward to help her.

Chang Ying, they came here with the emperor's imperial decree, if they resisted the decree they would be killed, Zhang Xin expressed her concerns.

Are you afraid of death?Xiner.

As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid of the day when our children don't call themselves parents.

Don't talk nonsense, you will definitely hear the child calling mother. Liu Changying was afraid that Zhang Xin would get angry because she was worried, so he hurriedly comforted her. I will go to Brother Li and ask about it.

Ok.

In front of the two graves, Li Zhaoting worshiped Liu Tao and his wife and asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law to make amends. The son-in-law failed to fulfill the wish of the two elders, not only failed to bring Qian'er here to worship the two elders, but now he wants to invite brother Liu back to the court , Hey, Zhao Ting is incompetent.

Brother Li, how is Qian'er?

The emperor has accepted her as a goddaughter and bestowed her as a princess, so it is impossible for me to take her away from the capital.

The emperor accepted Qian'er as a goddaughter?Why?Liu Changying became nervous. Could it be that the emperor returned his betrayal of his mother to Qian'er.

The emperor said that he would take good care of Qian'er for his father-in-law, and Qian'er had saved the princess before, so he bestowed the title on Qian'er.

Oh, that's the case, then you brought the emperor's imperial decree with you this time, what is the meaning of this?

I really can't guess what the emperor is thinking, but one morning, the emperor suddenly sent a message to order you to return to Beijing. I have already asked the emperor to take back the order, but it was useless.

What happened in that palace?Liu Changying thought about the emperor's intention.

Li Zhaoting thought for a while, now that all the national teachers have already fallen, and the new imperial examination is also in progress. After thinking about it, nothing major happened. Oh, the only thing that can be counted as a major event is that Brother Feng was dismissed from all duties by the emperor. Now Above the court is Zhang Shaomin.

The emperor has always used brother Feng highly, why did he remove all his posts?

Brother Liu, your question is on the point. Li Zhaoting looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he was relieved. The emperor dismissed all the positions of Brother Feng and set up a Killing intent, if the princess hadn't said that she was pregnant, Brother Feng would have passed away by now.

You and I both know Brother Feng's character, how can such a crime be convincing to the public, didn't the emperor investigate this matter thoroughly?Liu Changying felt a little unworthy for Feng Shaomin.

I also invited the emperor, but the emperor issued an order that no one should be allowed to investigate, so this matter was not known. Later, I thought that the so-called high meritorious service was more appropriate for Brother Feng.

It's just stupid, hum, he's old and confused, Liu Changying roared with anger, which startled Li Zhaoting, Brother Liu, keep your voice down, if someone listens to it, he will be beheaded.

This kind of monarch, why should I serve him? Someday I will be beheaded and I don’t know what I did wrong. You go back and tell the prince that you will never return to Beijing unless I die. Liu Changying is definitely dead. No matter how much he shouted behind his back, he stopped making a sound.

The next day, Liu Changying opened the door and wanted to go out, but saw that the prince had already waited outside with the imperial decree. When he opened the door and came out, the prince stepped forward and spread out the imperial decree. Liu Changying, please accept the decree.

Liu Changying ignored the prince in front of him, picked up the basket and left the courtyard.

Dong, a kneeling sound came from behind, Master Liu, please accept the order.

Prince, get up quickly, how can you kneel down?

Seeing the prince's actions, Li Zhaoting's face instantly turned pale. How could this prince not care about his own status? Since ancient times, there is no such thing as the courtesy of a king kneeling down to his ministers.

Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty was willing to let go of his identity and visit the thatched cottage to invite Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. Today, in order to seek talents, he voluntarily imitated the ancients. You don’t need to say any more. The prince spoke calmly, not caring about his identity at all.

Prince, Caomin has made up his mind, please don't waste any more time on Caomin, Liu Changying stared blankly for a while, expressed his intention again and left.

Prince, get up first, the tide on the ground, if you are sick, I can't bear it, Li Zhaoting and the others knelt down.

My palace is fine. I suffered more than this when I was living among the people. This is nothing. The prince is still so indifferent, but in that indifferent, there is still a kingly air. Li Zhaoting is delighted to see it In his heart, he is no longer that stupid prince who can only be infatuated with wooden birds, but a slowly maturing emperor.

Zhang Xin saw everything in front of her eyes, and more and more sorrows filled her heart. She went back to the house and cleaned up for a while, and walked out of the house with a bundle. She carefully knelt down while clutching her four-month-old stomach. In front of the prince, prince, I have a way to let Changying go back to Beijing with you, but I also ask you to promise Cao Min one thing.

As soon as the prince heard that there was a way to get Liu Changying back to Beijing, he hurriedly ordered someone to help Zhang Xin up. Madam, please tell me?

Zhang Xin didn't get up, but kowtowed in front of the prince, no matter if the prince ascended the throne today or in the future, she also asked the prince to pardon Chang Ying for the crime of not being a king today.

Hearing Zhang Xin's words, the crown prince smiled understandingly, and stepped forward to help Zhang Xin up personally. I will testify against the heavens and the earth today, and I will never punish Liu Changying for what happened today.

Xie Prince, Zhao Ting, you are here waiting for Chang Ying, I will go back to Beijing with the Prince.

Yes, Mrs.

Where is the imperial physician?The prince shouted to the crowd.

The minister is here.

Mrs. Liu will leave it to you, and you must take good care of her along the way, and don't get pregnant.

My minister obeys, madam please.

Alright, the others will return to Beijing immediately with Ben Gong, and Li Zhaoting and Liu Changying will leave it to you.

Yes, the prince is careful along the way.

Ok.

After the prince and his party walked for a long time, Liu Changying returned home. All he could see from a distance was his own house, the tent in front of the door was gone, and even the officers and soldiers could not be seen. It's not like something happened.

Xiner, Xiner, when I opened the door, I saw that there was no sign of Zhang Xin in the room, and even the enshrined parents' spiritual tablet was gone. threaten him.

Brother Liu, you are back. Li Zhaoting heard voices entering the house from the cemetery behind the house.

Where did Xiner go?Was it taken away by the prince?Come on, Liu Changying's anxious face has already twisted together.

It was Mrs. Sister-in-law who voluntarily went with the prince.

why?

She is here to protect you, disobedience is already a death penalty, and ignoring the king is an added crime, forget it brother Liu, you must return this time, Li Zhaoting comforted him.

Hunjun, why won't you let me go, why won't you let me go, the Liu family, Hunjun, really Hunjun!

Liu Changying's hoarse roar came close to Li Zhaoting's ears, and he was startled. He thought how could Mr. Liu, who was as wet as jade back then, do such disobedient things today? What exactly is it?made him like this.

Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?Being so angry with the emperor, you were not like this before, Li Zhaoting asked inexplicably from the side.

Brother Li, you don’t understand, and no one in this world can understand. Liu Changying hugged his aching head and curled up on the corner of the table, talking to himself, Mother, why don’t you lie to your son for the rest of his life? Now that my son is in such a dilemma, tell me what to do?what to do?
