Chapter 1124 The Prince Returns to Beijing
"Welcome Your Highness back to Beijing!"

Outside the Xiangfu Station, the prince's car stopped in the road, and in front of the road, a well-mannered young man who seemed to be very cultivated, stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

The curtain opened, Prince Liu Yang poked out half of his head, and when he saw the visitor, there was a warm smile on his face: "Your second uncle Lao is welcome, so there is no need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The young man who greeted him was only in his twenties, but he was very personable. Just from the title and attitude of the prince, we could tell who it was.Fu Zhaoyuan, the second son of the father-in-law and Chenliu Wang Fu Yanqing, the younger brother of Empress Fu, and the uncle of Liu Yang.

Since Fu Yanqing's eldest son, Fu Zhaoxin, died young, the young Fu Zhaoyuan has undoubtedly become the future successor of the Fu family and has received intensive training.Over the years, he is well-known among the honorable children in Tokyo. He is very upright, gentle and courteous.

Two years ago, he was arranged in the East Palace as an attendant to study with Prince Liu Yang.Obviously, there is no need for the Fu family to conceal their support for the crown prince, as the relationship is there and cannot be hidden.

Although they are uncles and nephews, there is not much difference in age between Liu Yang and Fu Zhaoyuan, and the relationship between the two has always been close.Therefore, for Fu Zhaoyuan, Liu Yang also seemed affectionate, and asked: "It's just going back to Beijing, why come to greet him in person."

Fu Zhaoyuan replied: "I am here under the order of Shaofu!"

Now, the officials in the East Palace have undergone another round of adjustments. Except for the absence of an independent palace guard leading the mansion, all subordinate officials are fully equipped.Prime Minister Wei Renpu holds the title of Prince Taifu, while Li Fang is Prince Shaofu, and becomes the chief manager of the Eastern Palace affairs. Of course, as Liu Yang gets older, his weight gradually increases, and he needs to assist the prince in handling palace and government affairs.

In the spring of this year, Liu Yang, as the crown prince, took the place of Emperor Liu to tour the west, inspecting the administration of officials, and persuading farmers and mulberry farmers.Moreover, Emperor Liu ordered Liu Yang to go on tour independently, and Li Fang and other important officials of the Eastern Palace were not allowed to accompany him.

This time, it was Liu Yang's first time to go on tour with only his own head, and Emperor Liu took great pains to train him.Now, nearly half a year later, I finally returned to Beijing.

The crown prince's book is here, and the officials of the Xiangfu station are actively arranging the order in the station and doing the reception.Facing the attentive Yicheng, looking at the sky, and noticing the occupied roads and the cleared pedestrians, Liu Yang said: "It's not too late, so I won't stay here overnight!"

"Leave the order to drive! Don't occupy the main road and affect pedestrians!" Liu Yang ordered again softly.

"Yes!" The officer in charge of guards immediately went to make arrangements.

The prince didn't want to stay overnight, so the Yi Cheng was naturally disappointed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't even dare to complain, so he could only back away obediently, watching the car drive away.

"Uncle, please get in the car and ride with me!" He invited Fu Zhaoyuan again.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Fu Zhaoyuan did not refuse, thanked him, and calmly got into the car.

The nephew and uncle are much more natural in the relatively private space inside the carriage, and they don't have to carry it in front of outsiders.Looking at Liu Yang, Fu Zhaoyuan said: "Your Highness has been on tour for the past few months, my sister has been thinking about it very much, and several major events have happened in the court!"

"This long journey is indeed not short, and my mother is worried!" Liu Yang sighed, and then asked Fu Zhaoyuan: "I heard that Duke Wei died of illness!"

"Exactly! The mourning period will be over!" Fu Zhaoyuan said, "Your Majesty is very sad for Duke Wei's passing away!"

"It's a pity! Wei Gong is a hero of the Han Zhu Kingdom, and he is His Majesty's robe brother. The sky is ruthless, and he took his life." Liu Yang also felt sorry for this, and said: "After returning to Beijing, I will also go to pay homage. !"

"This is what it should be!" Fu Zhaoyuan said, with a smile on his face, and said to Liu Yang: "It has been spread in the palace that Your Majesty and the Queen have decided to accept the little lady of Murong's family as the Crown Princess. Your Highness is returning this time." Jing, it's time to prepare for the wedding!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang was a little stunned, and finally a little shyness appeared on his face, but he quickly recovered.As the heir carefully cultivated by Emperor Liu, Liu Yang has no resistance to arranged marriages. He only needs to think about it for a while, and then he knows the help and benefits of marrying the Murong family.

"If I remember correctly, Duke Wei has no daughter!" Liu Yang asked, "Which lady is it from Murong's family?"

Fu Zhaoyuan said: "The commander of the capital, Murong Yue, the eldest daughter of Murong Yanqing!"

Liu Yang nodded, pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Uncle, what is the appearance and character of this Murong family lady?"

Noticing Liu Yang's nervous expression, Fu Zhaoyuan couldn't help being amused, and laughed: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty and sister chose for you, naturally a person with excellent talent, good looks, good character, ordinary vulgar fans, He is also not worthy of Chu Jun."

Hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help being happy: "At the beginning when my elder brother got married, I just watched it from the sidelines and found it interesting, but now when it's my turn, I will inevitably lose my inch!"

Mentioning Liu Xu, Fu Zhaoyuan interjected, "Duke Qin has also been transferred from the Ministry of Rites."

"Oh? What errand did father arrange for elder brother?" Liu Yang was a little curious.

"Go to the Lifan Academy as the left servant, in charge of the affairs of the four barbarians!"

"It's not easy to manage these barbarians! In the past few years, problems in the Northwest have occurred frequently, and it's the captives who make trouble!" Liu Yang thought for a while and said.

"Maybe because of this, His Majesty has decided to use troops in the northwest to completely solve the problem of the Dingnan army and the party members!" Fu Zhaoyuan was a little beaming.

"I've heard about this too!" Liu Yang said, "For a long time, Dingnanjun Li's family was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. My father had long since digested it. After so many years, it really shouldn't be Then let him drift away from the military and political system of the Han Dynasty!"

"With Marshal Yang in charge of the army, he will be able to achieve success in no time and defeat the difficult army. This time, there are some honorable sons in Beijing, who will go west after being promoted, which is enviable!" Fu Zhaoyuan said.

"Who is there?" Liu Yang was in high spirits.

"Yang Yanzhao, Li Jilong, Guo Yi, Xiang Deming, Sun Yun." Fu Zhaoyuan said a long list of names.

Hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help but frowned. He was indeed a noble son of the right age. He was not surprised by this, but felt emotional that his own emperor Lao Tzu began to focus on training the new generation of generals.He is very familiar with this kind of situation, because Emperor Liu trained him like this.

"Guo Yi and Li Jilong are only sixteen or seventeen years old now, are Xing Gong and Li Shu willing to let them go to the northwest to take risks?" Liu Yang asked casually.

"With His Majesty's edict, how dare the Second Duke oppose it. Besides, the Second Duke is not a doting person, and he can learn a lot from following Yang Dushuai."

Hearing Fu Zhaoyuan's words, Liu Yang couldn't help but look at him: "Uncle sees father's intention clearly!"

Hearing this, Fu Zhaoyuan quickly shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "Your Majesty's divine power is unpredictable, how can a kid like me guess it, it's just a testimonial."

"Young Fu's official position may be changed!" Fu Zhaoyuan said again.

Liu Yang cheered up immediately, and asked, "What did Shaofu tell you?"

Fu Zhaoyuan shook his head: "I didn't say it clearly, but I think that's what it meant. Not long ago, His Majesty also called Shao Fu into the palace to give lectures."

For Liu Yang, Li Fang was a good teacher and helpful friend. When he heard such news suddenly, Liu Yang felt very sad.However, he still showed a smile: "Young Fu taught me that it will not be too long. With his talent and character, he should be high in the temple. If he stays in the East Palace for a long time, he will bury his talent. With his qualifications, if he is transferred, he should Be the head of a division!"

"Where are there vacancies for important positions in the court?" Liu Yang asked.

Fu Zhaoyuan shook his head. There are quite a few high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and it would be difficult for them to guess out of thin air.Of course, with Li Fang's qualifications and talents, it will never be a small department.

"By the way, sister-in-law is about to give birth!" Liu Yang said suddenly.

"According to the time, it won't be long!" Fu Zhaoyuan replied.

"So, I'm going to be an uncle too!" Liu Yang said, it seemed unreal, after all, he is only 17 years old now.
