Han Shizu

Chapter 1003 Triumph orders Liu Fang to ask for life
Han Palace, Shulan Palace, where the emperor was lucky.

After the Nanzheng edict was issued, Liu Chengyou seemed to be more relaxed, far less busy than before, and such a major event as Pingnan did not even cause any disturbance in the court, it was almost a matter of course.

Under the leadership of their respective chiefs, the officials of various divisions manage their own affairs, and those who are related to the military will fully support them.As for Liu Chengyou, it may be because he has done all the work beforehand, and all the clues have been sorted out. After the strategy is launched, he only needs to stay in Tokyo safely and wait for the result.

With this little leisure time, Liu Chengyou came to Shulan Hall not only to visit Concubine Zhou Shu and his fifth daughter Liu Xuan, but also to enjoy a new music and dance choreographed by Mrs. Da Zhou.

Sitting behind the royal case, with Liu Xuan in her arms, this fifth princess, who is only in her early two years old, has the excellent genes of the Tian family, so her appearance is naturally lovely, carved with jade, and her charm is very similar to her mother.

Moreover, it is very quiet, unlike other brothers and sisters who like to move more or less at this age.While Liu Xuan was in Liu Chengyou's arms, she didn't move much, just quietly, admiring her mother's dance with Liu Chengyou.

Different from Yingge Yanwu in the past, this time, perhaps because of the background of the war, the music and dance are a bit passionate and heroic. Concubine Shu also changed into a tight men's military uniform, and the whole person looks full of heroism. Heroine style.The sword dance in his hand, matched with the sonorous rhythm, and the picturesque eyebrows, jade face and fine nose, and the beautiful style still make Liu Chengyou's eyes shine.

"Your mother's dance, does it look good?" Liu Chengyou lowered his head and asked Liu Xuan after the dance was over as Concubine Shu received her long sword and marched.

When the father asked the question, the little girl answered obediently, "Okay" in a childish voice.

Then he continued to stay in Liu Chengyou's arms quietly, with only a pair of bright and moving eyes, this appearance really made Emperor Liu feel pity and love.

"Your attire is also unique!" Liu Chengyou praised Da Zhou's tall and straight breasts.

Lady Da Zhou panted slightly, her beautiful eyes looked at Liu Chengyou expectantly: "What do the officials think of this music and dance?"

As early as after the Northern Expedition, Concubine Zhou Shu deliberately arranged a song and dance to praise the achievements of the great man. Of course, this is also based on her strengths. Ji satisfies her interest and pleases the emperor.It took three years before it was continuously perfected for Liu Chengyou to appreciate.

Of course, Emperor Liu has really made no progress in music and dance appreciation, and can only judge with the most superficial senses, which feels good.In comparison, he obviously appreciates beauties more.

Therefore, regarding Concubine Zhou Shu's hard work, Liu Chengyou still held a positive attitude, took her hand and let her sit beside him, and said with a smile: "It's very good, generous and powerful, the song is beautiful, the dance is vigorous, and the person is more beautiful."

Knowing how the emperor appreciates it, Concubine Zhou Shu is already satisfied with his evaluation, and she smiled at him a little: "Thank you for the compliment from the officials!"

"Does this dance music have a name?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Not yet, please give me a name from the officials!" Concubine Shu looked at the emperor with her beautiful eyes.

Liu Chengyou also became interested, thought for a while, and said: "To be straightforward, let's call it "The Order of Triumph" for the occasion!"

"As a concubine, I will wish Master Wang a triumphant return in advance, and congratulate the officials for pacifying Jiangnan and dominating the world!" Mrs. Zhou said to Liu Chengyou.

"I'm also looking forward to that day!" Liu Chengyou was in a good mood and said with a smile: "You also find some people to rehearse this dance music together, and when you are done, you can perform in the Chongyuan Hall during the Ce Xun Banquet!"

"Yes!" Mrs. Zhou replied with her beautiful eyes slightly bright.

"Have you stayed in Jinling?" Liu Chengyou said.

Obviously, regardless of Emperor Liu's calm face, he was thinking about Pingnan's situation in his heart.Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhou Shu said: "When my concubine was young, I lived with my father in Jinling for a period of time, but it's been too long and my memory is blurred. Thinking about coming to Jinling today, it should be different from my childhood memories!"

Nodding his head, Liu Chengyou waved his hand, and his calm tone reflected infinite confidence: "That's okay, when I tour the south and stay in Jinling in the future, you can compare it yourself, and I will accompany you to reminisce, maybe Don't be flirtatious?"

"Sit down at the official's house for a while, I'll go take a bath!" Concubine Shu said after talking to the emperor for a while, but it was the strenuous exercise just now that made her sweat a little, so her body was neither comfortable nor suitable for serving the emperor .

However, Fang lifted his buttocks, and before he stood up, Emperor Liu pulled him into his arms, almost touching Mrs. Zhou's ear, and smiled: "No need, you smell just as good now."

Sometimes, a little sweat, not only does not affect the mood, but it is more likely to stimulate the outbreak of hormones.

Emperor Liu's hands were a little irregular, and the rosiness on Concubine Zhou Shu's pretty face became more and more intense. A man and a woman were flirting shamelessly, as if they had overlooked something.When she turned her head, she found that the little princess Liu Xuan was looking at her parents with her ignorant and innocent eyes. Feeling a little doubt in those pure eyes, Emperor Liu showed a rare embarrassment on his old face.

As for Concubine Zhou Shu, who was in a messy military uniform, she was buried directly in Liu Chengyou's arms, ashamed to see others, and her daughter's gaze made her extremely sensitive all over her body
Leaving Shulan Hall contentedly, Liu Chengyou went directly to Chongzheng Hall. On the way, he ordered someone to go to the Privy Council to check to see if there was any military report.Although I know it won't be so fast, I just can't help the feeling of concern.

Don't look at Emperor Liu's self-confidence all the time, the Pingnan War will be a success. After all, it has been considered and compared in all aspects, and there are absolutely sufficient preparations, but it is just in case, afraid of accidents.The half-ninety people who travel a hundred miles are not examples of great careers that have been ruined at the last moment due to negligence at the last moment.

Logically speaking, based on Emperor Liu's consistent performance, he shouldn't be so concerned about gains and losses.However, the fact is that after achieving a series of brilliant victories, he felt uneasy. He was afraid that he would encounter his own "Waterloo" next time.

Of course, this may be because Liu Chengyou cared too much about it. The so-called caring will lead to chaos. In the face of leveling the world, clarifying the universe, and achieving great achievements like opening up the world, it is difficult for Emperor Liu to really maintain a normal heart.

However, even so, his basic qualities have not been lost. He uses people, knows how to delegate power, and dares to delegate power.

Regarding the question of the coach of Nanzheng, Liu Chengyou finally chose Li Gu.At the same time when Li Gu advised the court to Pingnan, he also sent a letter of resignation, and he also frankly stated his physical condition, saying that in order not to delay the military and to take the overall situation into consideration, he was willing to give way to other generals.

At that time, Liu Chengyou was very moved. As far as he knew, although Li Gu's health was not good, it was not to the point where he could not be a director.As for Li Gu, he probably heard of the emperor's concerns, so in order to avoid embarrassing him, he took the initiative to resign.

For such a courtier, Liu Chengyou could say more. At that time, he replied a long letter to Li Gu, expressing his merits, allowing him to take care of military affairs with peace of mind, and assuring him that there is no other choice for the position of commander. concern.

Therefore, when the Pingnan edict was issued, the name of the commander-in-chief was unmistakably Li Gu, Duke of Ruyin County.

When Liu Chengyou returned to the Chongzheng Hall, he saw a young figure swaying there. Because of his age, he was not tall, but he looked strong and powerful. It was the Fourth Prince Liu Fang.The guard told Liu Chengyou that the fourth prince had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Liu Chengyou's return, Liu Fang immediately stepped forward and saluted solemnly: "I see Your Majesty!"

At this time, Liu Fang was wearing a suit of armor, bright silver, which added a bit of heroism, and there was a knife on his waist.Looking at his clothes and his expression, Liu Chengyou asked, "What do you mean when you come to see me in this outfit? Could it be that you want to follow the example of the generals and ask for orders to march south!"

Even though the candidates for the generals for the expedition have been decided, during this period of time, there are still many generals of the Forbidden Army who have asked Liu Chengyou for the southern expedition, and they all want to catch up with this Pingnan car and gain some military merits.For example, Sun Li, the old general of the Son of Heaven, finally stepped down from the position of the Xiaodi Army in the previous army reorganization. He was also rejected this time. Liu Chengyou's reply was to give young people more opportunities.

In Pingnan this time, in addition to mobilizing troops and horses with the local army as the main force, most of the generals sent were also southern garrison generals, and the meritorious generals in the past were basically not appointed.It is not only to give opportunities to latecomers, but also to balance.

Facing the question from the emperor Lao Tzu, Liu Fang was also very straightforward, clasped his fists and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I have indeed come to ask for orders to go to the Pingnan Conquest battlefield!"

Liu Chengyou was not surprised by this, observing his tense expression, there was no excitement, no escape, only firmness.

"You're so young, I don't know the seriousness, are you playing for the war? Is it for you to play?" However, Liu Chengyou lightly reprimanded.

"Your Majesty, I am no longer young. These years, I have read military books and practiced martial arts. Now that the Southern War is starting, isn't it the time to use martial arts to make meritorious deeds? Otherwise, what's the use of learning?" Pride.

In fact, Liu Fang had the experience of driving the Northern Expedition, even if he didn't really experience the bloody killings on the battlefield, but Liu Fang's heroic temperament and courage were tempered.Calculated according to the false age, Liu Fang is already 13 years old, which is already the age of a father for some noble children.
"Where did you get this armor?" Liu Chengyou asked after pondering for a while.

"I asked the military supervisor to build it for me!" Liu Fang replied honestly: "Your Majesty, when I grow up, this set of armor will no longer fit me. Wouldn't it be a waste then?"

Listening to his words, Liu Chengyou was also amused by him.Liu Fang didn't smile, but just looked at him seriously.After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou asked, "Does your mother agree?"

Liu Fang said bluntly: "If Your Majesty agrees, I will have my own explanation from Mother!"

Watching this kid talk about His Majesty, Liu Chengyou couldn't help feeling emotional, but he was indeed seriously considering the feasibility of this matter, although it only needed a word from him.

"Jianghuai, Ezhou, and Lingnan armies, where do you want to go?" Liu Chengyou stared at Liu Fang and said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Fang was finally happy, then fell into thinking, and finally said: "Lingnan!"

"Why?" Liu Chengyou was a little surprised.

Liu Fang said proudly: "I joined the army this time to sharpen myself. There are many mountains in Lingnan and the environment is harsh. Wherever it is difficult, I will go there!"

Liu Chengyou finally smiled, touched his head with his hand, and said, "I will approve a note for you later, asking you to serve in front of the Lingnan Army. As for the position, let Pan Mei be a guard!"

When Liu Fang left excitedly, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sighed, both relieved and worried.For the training of his sons, Liu Chengyou also took a lot of painstaking efforts. Before that, he had considered letting the prince Liu Yang take command of the expedition and give him a lot of prestige and qualifications.

However, he gave up on this idea later. Even so, Liu Chengyou also asked Liu Yang to participate in the whole process of logistics deployment of the Pingnan army to further exercise his practical ability.

Not long after entering the palace and taking a seat, Liu Chengyou summoned Lu Yin again, and told him directly: "Go and find out who the military supervisor made the armor for Liu Fang without authorization, and deal with it according to the regulations!"
