Invincible son

Chapter 1036 1037 [There is a sudden downpour in the world]

In the seventh year of Kaiping, May [-]th, at nightfall.

Imperial City, Jingren Palace.

The eldest prince Liu Xian sat on the round stool respectfully, looking at his mother with a smile.

Concubine Wu Gui said gently: "Yesterday my mother ordered someone to bring Qinghe into the palace. After a careful look, he is indeed a good boy, but it's hard for her."

Liu Xianqi said: "What does mother mean by this? Could it be that Qinghe has humiliated her by marrying Erchen?"

"Nonsense again." Concubine Wu Gui gave a light reprimand, and then said earnestly: "Although she is a princess, why did she consider what she did in the Southern Dynasty last year? Now that the peace talks between the two countries have been reached, she can marry You, otherwise those important ministers in the court will definitely not agree, and His Majesty will also have a headache. Moreover, this child is still able to maintain a peaceful mind when he encounters chaos, which shows that he is a beautiful girl."

Liu Xian said with a smile: "My minister's vision of seeing people is definitely not wrong."

Concubine Wu Gui asked: "How was Xu Song from Qibao Pavilion back then?"

Liu Xian choked slightly, and said with embarrassment: "Mother, I did make a lot of mistakes before, and I will remember to reflect on myself in the future."

Concubine Wu Guifei clicked to stop, and said slowly: "Tomorrow's grand ceremony will be held, and it will be an extremely important occasion for three consecutive days. You can only complete the last step if you show an undisputed performance. Remember, the canonization ceremony has a total of six months. Li, the first ceremony to sacrifice to His Majesty has already been completed for Luo to be in power, and the next five rites must not be misstepped, otherwise it will make people laugh at the world, and it will also make your future career as a crown prince more variable."

Liu Xian nodded and said: "Mother, don't worry, my son has practiced repeatedly these days, and Mr. Wu, the concubine of the left, will remind you at any time, so there will be no mistakes."

Concubine Wu Gui thought thoughtfully, "Wu Cunren?"

Liu Xianying said: "Yes, he is the closed disciple of Mr. Mo, and he is not a teacher-student relationship in the imperial examination field, but a real preacher of literature and Taoism. Mr. Wu is knowledgeable and calm. Officer, my son is very relieved."

"That's good." Concubine Wu Gui smiled gratifiedly, and said: "After the ceremony is completed, you will be the crown prince of Daliang, and you must set an example for the Tian family in everything you do. Apart from caring about state affairs, you must always remember filial piety, You must not be negligent in your treatment of His Majesty and the Empress. For the Second Prince and the others, you must not only show the demeanor of a prince, but also have the heart of an elder brother."

Liu Xian got up and said, "My son, I would like to follow my mother's instruction."

"well said."

A mid-air voice surprised the mother and son, and then they saw Emperor Kaiping walk in around the screen, followed by the careful inner eunuch Liu Bao.

The two hurriedly bowed to see each other. Emperor Kaiping waved his hand, walked to the side of the couch and sat down, then motioned for Concubine Wu to sit beside him, looked at Liu Xian and said, "I have read all over the history books, and I have never seen such a smart and kind concubine like your mother and concubine." girl, you have to keep her words firmly in your heart, and you won't go astray in the future."

Liu Xian bowed slightly and said, "I obey the order."

Emperor Kaiping glanced at the gentle Concubine Wu Gui, and said, "I can't right the seat for you, I hope you don't blame me."

Concubine Wu's heart trembled. Although it was quite rare for the emperor to say this sentence, for some reason she heard a faint mournful sound, and for a moment lost her usual quick response, and said in a slightly flustered way: "Why did your Majesty come here?" In other words, the concubine never has delusions, and the concubine respects the empress very much..."

Emperor Kaiping raised his hand to cut off her words, and said softly: "You and I have been husband and wife for more than [-] years, we have shared joys and sorrows together, and I have never owed others in this life, but I am ashamed of you."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Wu Gui stood up, panic had already paled on her graceful and luxurious face.

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said: "Sometimes I feel something, but there is no need to be nervous. Sit down."

He turned his head to look at Liu Xian and said, "After three days, you will be the crown prince of Daliang, and you have to shoulder your responsibilities. At the end of the month, I will go out to Beijing to observe the Yanping meeting of the soldiers of the Beijing camp. During that time, you will be in charge." Stay in Beijing to supervise the country."

Liu Xian was caught off guard and subconsciously looked at Concubine Wu Gui who was still standing.

Emperor Kaiping frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you hear clearly?"

Liu Xian hurriedly said: "My minister is clear, but I am inexperienced, so I am afraid I will miss important court affairs."

Emperor Kaiping nodded and said: "It's not bad for you to realize this. I didn't want you to decide government affairs, but just let you sit in the capital. At that time, I will let Luo Ting and Gu Liang stay in the capital. You follow them for a long time." Learn something."

Liu Xian bowed his head and said, "Yes, father."

Emperor Kaiping stood up and said, "You two, let's talk, I still have something to deal with."

Then he walked away, leaving only Concubine Wu Gui and Liu Xian standing there with complicated expressions.

The night wind in the palace was gentle, before Emperor Kaiping stepped onto the imperial chariot, he suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Bao and said, "I remember that your hometown is in Guangping Mansion, Lingzhou?"

Liu Bao didn't understand what he meant, so he could only reply cautiously: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping smiled, shook his head and said, "Pei Yue is really pervasive."

Liu Bao instantly remembered what Pei Yue said, and the matter that Xiangyun Lingzhou branch gave his family shares, and immediately sweated profusely, knelt down and kowtowed: "I am guilty, please Your Majesty!"

Emperor Kaiping raised his face and said: "Okay, you are an old man in the palace for decades, and collecting some money is nothing. If you become Pei Yue's people because of this, and spread the news from the palace, I will allow it." Have you survived to this day? Since he is willing to give money, you can keep it, it's better than you guys trying to hack the treasury. In the final analysis, whether it is for you or him, this can be regarded as a good relationship."

The imperial chariot moved forward, and Liu Bao, who was full of fear, hurriedly followed.

Hearing the meaning of His Majesty's words, it was obvious that he was too lazy to pay attention to these trivial matters. Liu Baohou felt extremely fortunate when he was afraid. Fortunately, he only accepted Pei Yue's kindness and never did anything out of the ordinary.

Blown by the night wind, he figured out some strange tastes.

Why do you think His Majesty is particularly abnormal today?Ordinarily, with the disposition of this king, he would never speak at length to the eunuchs in the palace, let alone speak so thoroughly, and his performance was too lenient, which was very different from the past.

Also, what does His Majesty mean by good fate at the end?
Under the melting moonlight, the old eunuch was at a loss.

……

far north.

Gu Fan had just entered Qinglong Mansion with a large army, and there was still a long distance from Guide Mansion. When Guo Linxi and Wang Daxi were planning how to assassinate Pei Yue, a group of more than a hundred riders passed through Qinglong Mansion and came from Guide Mansion. The territory of Fenyang Mansion in the east of the mansion goes south quickly.

The night was dark, but the knights were still in good spirits. According to their configuration of one man and two horses and their marching speed, it was estimated that they would be able to reach the capital in about three days.

It's a pity that the weather was not good. After they left Weihui County in Fenyang Prefecture, they traveled southward for about twenty miles. When they passed a small mountain, small raindrops suddenly floated on the night sky.

After a while, the light rain suddenly turned into a downpour, and the wind howled across the vast land.

In such weather, even if the knight can persist, the horse cannot last.

Pei Yue reined in the reins and said loudly, "Find a place to shelter from the rain."

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

After finally finding a dilapidated small temple in the wilderness, the soldiers quickly lit a bonfire, Feng Yi took out dry food and water from his bag, came to Pei Yue and said, "Young Master, I don't know when this rain will stop. Why don't you rest here tonight?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Okay."

He thought of the secret letter from Ye Qi he had received a few days ago, and couldn't help feeling a little irritable.

It was that letter that made him change his mind and return to Beijing immediately.

Pei Yue turned his head to look at the deep rain, and secretly sighed that the rain came at an untimely time.

However, what he did not expect was that the heavy rain lasted for several days, making the road muddy and difficult to walk.

So much so that he arrived at Xingliang Mansion three days later than he originally planned.
