Chapter 1205 Liu Fang's Next Work Arrangement

What Liu Fang didn't expect was that the person who came was the servant of Qiuhua Palace, the eunuch next to his mother's concubine Xian, who was ordered to come to pick him up and return to the palace, saying that he missed his son. This is not the style of Concubine Zhexian.

When he returned to Ziwei City, it was already late and the twilight was getting darker. In front of the bedroom, he saw Yan Tuo, the chief eunuch in the palace, sternly admonishing a servant.Liu Fang suddenly realized that it seemed that the emperor's father had come to visit his mother, and it was probably the emperor's intention to call him back.

"What did this person do to provoke Yan Zhongguan to be so furious?" Seeing Yan Tuo who was a bit domineering, Liu Fang turned his mouth and stepped forward to ask.

Hearing this, Yan Tuo turned around. When he saw Liu Fang, he immediately changed his face, came up respectfully, cupped his hands and paid homage, and explained: "Young one, see His Royal Highness Zhao Gong! The official family is hosting a banquet here, and this servant is lazy. I have to reprimand you for spilling the soup!"

Liu Fang nodded, and didn't express any opinion on this matter, but felt that the eunuch in front of him, who was respectful to him, seemed to be playing tricks on him.

Of course, as one of the two eunuchs with the highest rank and the most respected family members in the Han Palace, Yan Tuo also has the confidence and capital to serve as the head of the palace, plus his background in the old residence of Jinyang , add seniority.

After so many years, Yan Tuo is the chief servant that even Zhang Dejun, the Secretary of the Imperial City, is quite afraid of.However, no one is perfect, and since he is an eunuch, in addition to serving Emperor Liu wholeheartedly, he also has some arrogance.In the thousands of years of imperial history, eunuchs known as "virtuous" are more cherished than rare ones.

"Where are parents?" Liu Fang seemed to ask nonsense.

Yan Tuo replied: "The official family is talking to the concubine Xian!"

After answering, without waiting for his notification, Liu Fang went inside. This is not the Chuigong Palace, and there are not so many restrictions on Liu Fang.In the hall, a table of banquets was almost set up, and the food and drinks were still steaming, so it was estimated that the time would be served.

At the seats, besides Emperor Liu and Mrs. Zhe, there were also three brothers, Liu Yun, Liu Yan, and Liu Xiao, who were also called to meet.Emperor Liu had already set a new rule. After the prince reaches the age of eight, he will live away from his mother and live together in the Longyuan Pavilion in the inner court.

Of the four sons born to Mrs. Zhe, Liu Xiao, the youngest eleventh son, is almost ten years old now.Liu Fang went to pay homage and came back in a hurry without even changing his military uniform. However, he was more heroic. Liu Fang's masculine and resolute temperament was also Emperor Liu's favorite.

Because it was a family banquet, the atmosphere seemed very harmonious. Emperor Liu was holding a little girl in his arms. It was his sixth princess, born of Zhe Niangzi. Her name was Liu Lei, and she was born in Qianyou 14 years.

"Get up! Take your seat, we'll wait for the table to start!" He looked at Liu Fang. During this time in the army, his demeanor became more refined, and the smile on the corner of Emperor Liu's mouth became softer.

"Yes!" Liu Fang was not polite.

Zhe Niang was sitting next to Emperor Liu. Emperor Liu was nearly forty years old, and she was also in the middle age. She was not as heroic as before, but she was more dignified.Emperor Liu now also prefers graceful and beautiful women, but he only likes their bodies, and he is emotionally invested in the favor of Gao and Zhe Erfei, second only to the Queen's Talisman.

This kind of situation where only their family of six eats meals is relatively rare, and the picture is a little more warm, and Zhe Niangzi couldn't be more satisfied with this.She just mentioned a word, and Emperor Liu immediately sent someone to recall Liu Fang, and the family had a meal.

In terms of children's education, Zhe Niangzi's attitude is considered the most enlightened, not as strict as Concubine Gao, and not as serious as Da Fu, she has always been relatively loose, but she attaches great importance to character and morality.Therefore, even though her children are as lively as Liu Fang and Liu Yun, they always have a sense of righteousness.

When Liu Fang returned to the palace, the fifth son Liu Yun was the most excited, as if he had found someone to complain about.Now, the four princes each have their duties, and he is the oldest in the palace.

And Liu Yun is almost 17 years old. Similarly, he also wants to fly solo. However, he does not receive special care like his brothers, but he feels restrained everywhere.

Liu Fang could understand some of Liu Yun's psychology. After all, he had a similar feeling at the beginning, so he only gave him a sympathetic look and showed that he was helpless.

In comparison, Liu Fang cared more about Liu Xiao, the eleventh brother. After all, he was much weaker since he was a child, and his health has never been good. As the eldest brother of his compatriots, he has always cared about him.

However, it is precisely because of his body that Liu Xiao has always been introverted and doesn't talk much.Therefore, when Liu Fang cared about his body, Liu Xiao's emaciated face showed a trace of discomfort and even uneasiness, and the mosquito responded with a thank you.

Looking at Liu Xiao's shy performance, which is always the same in front of his brothers, one can imagine how cowardly he is when facing others.Emperor Liu wanted to teach him a lesson, but finally held back, sighing silently in his heart, with a little pity in his eyes.

Among the lower-ranking princes, the eleventh son is the one who makes Emperor Liu the most merciful. How pitiful the sick son is.As for the eighth prince, Liu Yan, except for his looks, there is nothing extraordinary about him, and he is almost unknown among the princes. In this atmosphere, he said a few more words, but the light was still covered by the two brothers.

The whole family had a happy dinner, and that night, Emperor Liu naturally stayed with Concubine Xian.However, Emperor Liu left Liu Fang alone, obviously he had something else to say.

"You still have to get used to being in the army!" Father and son sat and drank tea, looking at his son who was getting stronger and stronger, Emperor Liu asked casually.

"Very good! It's just that the time is boring!" Liu Fang replied honestly.

"Want to fight?" Emperor Liu smiled lightly.

Liu Fang blurted out: "Why did you join the army if you didn't fight for war?"

"If you join the army only to fight, then you will always be just a general, not a commander in chief!" Emperor Liu immediately retorted.

Liu Fang was slightly taken aback. Of course, his thinking was limited.Seeing this, Emperor Liu calmed down, and said, "Have you ever thought about why I asked you to be the captain of the Imperial Army?"

Liu Fang tentatively replied: "Is it to let me eat with the soldiers and understand the situation of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level?"

Emperor Liu just nodded his head slightly, and then smiled a little, with a touch of remembrance on his face, and said with emotion: "You are luckier than me. Back then, I was entrusted by your grandfather as an envoy of the Longqi Army to lead the army in the camp. It took a lot of money." It takes less thought to forcefully subdue those arrogant soldiers."

"I have heard about your deeds. When you were in charge of the army for 16 years old, you took drastic measures and made great efforts to rectify them. In less than half a year, you made the Longqi army a new one and became a strong army in Hedong. Naturally, I can't compare with you. , it’s just a small group of people, and it’s not easy to integrate into it.” Liu Fang patted a long fart.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu chuckled: "We are father and son, so we can be more realistic. The stories spread by the Xuanwei Division are not fully credible, and they can't be taken entirely. Thinking about what they did back then, I think it was too reckless. Many Things didn't go right. If your grandfather hadn't intended to train the Longqi Army and supported him behind the scenes, I would have been expelled by dissatisfied soldiers a long time ago."

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Fang couldn't believe it: "With your brilliance and martial arts, is there anyone who dares to disobey and commit crimes?"

"I wasn't a god back then, it's just a child in the Taiyuan Palace, who can really take it seriously?" Emperor Liu said with a relaxed face, "Arrogant soldiers are difficult to control, and warriors are in charge of the country. What was the state of the army at that time, I'm afraid it wasn't What you can understand. If you have time, you can ask Sun Li what his attitude and opinion was towards me as a military envoy back then. He has the most right to speak.”

After a long word, Emperor Liu regained his seriousness, and said directly to Liu Fang: "You have almost finished your stay in Long Jiejun, you can come back!"

"You want to transfer me?" Liu Fang seemed a little unhappy.

"Do you have a question?" Emperor Liu asked back.

Liu Fang said: "My son, now Fang and the soldiers of the team have become one, and the officers and soldiers are one. He just left like this, and he feels unwilling."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help admonishing him again: "Dignified prince, Duke Zhao, do you think that I really just want you to be a small captain?"

Liu Fang was a little unconvinced: "Even if I want to be promoted, I would rather earn fame immediately!"

"Then you have to start from a young soldier!" Emperor Liu said immediately: "No, even if there is one soldier in the Imperial Army, it is not easy to be selected!"

"Even if I started as a pawn, I can still be selected!" Liu Fang said.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu was not annoyed, on the contrary, he admired his spirit a little bit, but he gave him an expression that you are too young.Liu Fang felt a little uncomfortable, and his momentum weakened.

"If you become a team leader again, you won't be able to improve much!" Emperor Liu said.

Liu Fang fell into serious thinking. After a long time, he cupped his hands and said, "Then please arrange a position where I can continue to train me. Even if I go to the border, it doesn't matter!"

"I'm willing to let you go to guard the border, is your mother willing?" Emperor Liu's eyes flickered towards the inner bedroom.

"Okay!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and said forcefully: "I am going to go on another northern tour this year. You have two things to do next. First, go to the Longqi Army and get a military post as Marquis of Duyu. Say hello to Liu Guangyi, you follow him, so you can learn how to be an army commander; second, you are not too young, and you are ready to get married!"
