Chapter 237: Battle for Reserves
After Liu Ye and Huangfusong said their goodbyes, they immediately walked out of Yuntai Hall.
Huangfu Song smiled and said: "Yuqing, when you are less than a year old, Lili is a great official of the frontier. There is no one else in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty except you."
Liu Ye said modestly: "A certain is trusted by the imperial court, and it is my duty to guard Liangzhou."
And Huangfusong was quite satisfied with Liu Ye being the governor of Liangzhou. After all, Liu Ye was good at fighting and he belonged to the clan of the Liu surname. With such a strong man sitting in Liangzhou, the Qiang people must be able to be stable for a while.
And just after the two walked not far away, Liu Ye noticed that Xun You was waiting by the side with a calm expression.
Liu Ye hurriedly walked a few steps: "Lao Gongda has been waiting for a long time, how about I talk to Gongda in the tavern later?"
Xun You smiled: "Your Majesty wants to see Inspector Liu, and You should wait, but I can't resign until evening, so how about going to the inn to look for Inspector Liu?"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Liu Ye laughed and agreed, while thinking about how to establish a relationship with Xun You, so that he could abduct Boss Cao's future mastermind home.
As the servant of the Huang family, Xun You had been walking around the palace for a long time and was quite familiar with the situation in the palace, so he offered to lead the way for Liu Ye, Huang Fusong and the others, but just after they had walked less than a hundred steps, they heard a quarrel.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Is it possible that only the elder sister can get close to His Majesty, but the younger sister cannot?"
"Hmph! How dare I, I just heard that His Majesty summoned the court heroes in the Yuntai Palace. I'm afraid I don't have time to meet them. I just want to remind my sister."
There are only two women who look like concubines in the palace occupying one side, surrounded by dozens or seven or eight eunuchs, and these two women are quite beautiful, each holding a child in their hands, and the one on the left is a little older. Long, about ten years old, bowed his head slightly, with a cowardly expression, the one on the right was only six or seven years old, but he was quite bold, and even looked at Liu Ye.
When the more luxurious woman saw Xun You, she immediately smiled and said, "Why is Xun Huangmen here, who is this?" She looked at Liu Ye with a pair of beautiful eyes, slightly surprised.
Xun You didn't expect to be involved in such an embarrassing situation, but he was quite indifferent: "I have seen the queen, beauty."
"This is Liu Ye, the emperor's new governor of Liangzhou, after King Chengyang Jing, who just recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan under the presidency of Zong Zheng." After finishing speaking, Xun You whispered to Liu Ye, "These two are the sisters of the great general. The Queen, and His Majesty's beloved Wang Meiren."
Unexpectedly, when I entered the palace to meet Emperor Ling, I would encounter such a thing
Emperor Ling, like many others, was vacillating about establishing a heir.
Empress He was the queen, and she gave birth to the eldest son Liu Bian with Emperor Ling, but later Emperor Ling loved Wang Meiren quite a lot, so she gave birth to Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, who later became Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Although Liu Bian was old, but his expression was rather cowardly, while Liu Xie was young and intelligent, so Emperor Ling didn't like the eldest son, but loved Liu Xie very much, and even wanted to make Liu Xie the prince, so he specially appointed Liu Xie as the prince. Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent attendants, was in charge of the military power in the palace.
However, as the so-called establishment of a heir is based on the elders and not the virtuous, the officials in the court also have a clear understanding of Emperor Ling's careful thinking about Liu Xie as the prince, so they always advise him, and Liu Bian has a queen and a general who is behind him. With He Jin's backing, Emperor Ling pushed back and forth on the appointment of the crown prince, and it still hasn't been resolved to this day.
But Liu Bian's mother, Empress He, and Liu Xie's mother, Wang Meiren, were naturally at odds with each other.
When Empress He heard Xun You's words, she immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Liu Inspector. I have heard His Majesty say that Liu Inspector is powerful in Liangzhou and suppressed the Qiang people."
After all, Empress He immediately dragged Liu Bian in front of her: "Bian'er, Governor Liu is your uncle according to his seniority, why don't you call him Uncle Huang soon?" Empress He had other ideas. , if he can support Liu Bian's accession to the throne, and cooperate with his brother inside and outside, wouldn't it be easy for Liu Bian to ascend the throne?
Liu Bian looked at Liu Ye, then lowered his head again: "Nephew. I've seen Uncle Huang."
Liu Ye smiled. Just as he was about to answer, Liu Xie on the side spoke first: "My nephew has met the emperor's uncle. Can the emperor tell my nephew the story of your battle in Liangzhou?"
He looked at Liu Xie, only to see that Liu Xie's eyes were piercing, he raised his head and looked at Liu Ye without fear, no wonder Emperor Ling wanted to make him the crown prince, Liu Xie's performance was indeed much stronger than Liu Bian.
"That's right, Xie'er, let the emperor tell you the story of Liangzhou." Wang Meiren glanced at Empress He proudly: How is it?
Empress He frowned suddenly, and then looked at her son angrily: I am so disappointed!
Empress He thought so, and she couldn't help expressing it in her actions. She held Liu Bian's hand and immediately exerted a little force. Liu Bian felt a pain in the palm of his hand, and looked up at his mother, but he didn't say a word, and endured it abruptly.
And this scene was naturally seen by Liu Ye, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Otherwise, invite both nephews to come with me, and I will tell them about it."
Empress He and Wang Meiren nodded immediately, and then let go of their hands, allowing Liu Bian and Liu Xie to walk towards Liu Ye, while Liu Ye gently held their hands, holding a prince with one hand.
Seeing this, Huangfu Song couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling slightly.
"Uncle Huang, when Xie'er grows up, he will learn from you and go to Liangzhou to fight the Qiang people." Although Liu Xie met Liu Ye for the first time, he was not afraid of strangers at all. Quite useful.
In contrast, Liu Bian was much more silent, unless Liu Ye asked him to say a word, otherwise he would not say a word, but Liu Ye saw his own shadow in Liu Bian.
As the saying goes, one drink and one peck, one's own destiny. Although Liu Ye is a martial arts prodigy, in fact he was also a taciturn person back then. He was usually alone, practicing boxing and marksmanship by himself, challenging the world's best masters, and was basically a lone ranger. If he hadn't come to the end of the Han Dynasty by accident and became the leader, I'm afraid Liu Ye's character would not have changed much.
"Do Bian'er and Xie'er want to be emperors in the future?"
Hearing this question, Liu Xie shook his head first.
"No, Xie'er will become a general when he grows up, just like the emperor's uncle."
Liu Ye nodded with a smile: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will teach Xie'er the spear and the art of war, and make you a general."
And Liu Bian thought for a while, then shook his head as well.
"Uncle Huang, Bian'er doesn't want to be an emperor, but just an ordinary person."
Liu Ye was stunned: "Why? Is it not good to be an emperor? Is there any king in the world?"
"If I don't become the emperor, Xie'er can become the emperor, the father will not be angry, and the mother will not worry."
