Han Shizu

Chapter 13
Jinyang is divided into two cities, the west and the east, with the middle city sandwiched between them. Above the Fen River, there is a wide Zhongcheng bridge connecting the two banks, which facilitates the connection and communication between the east and west cities.

When night fell, with some doubts in his heart, Liu Chengyou rode through the pavilions in the city and under the bridge.Liu Zhiyuan invited him, and the meeting place was actually on this bridge.

There was still a strange rosy look on his face, but it was not very clear under the shroud of darkness. He was interrupted and summoned at the juncture of in-depth communication with Gunn.Although Liu Chengyou belongs to the male protagonist of the abstinence department, but after all, he is not cold, and when he really wants to vent his desires, he will never be hypocritical.

Under the bridge, I ran into Liu Chengxun.The brothers got out of the car to meet each other, and Liu Chengxun was a little surprised: "Erlang, your father actually called you here?"

Looking at Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengyou just nodded indifferently: "Yeah!"

Probably because he felt that his question was a bit inappropriate, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Liu Chengxun Junyi's face, and he hurriedly greeted: "You and I will go to the bridge together, don't make father wait too long."

"Yeah!" Liu Chengyou still responded in the same way.When he walked to the front helplessly, Liu Chengyou just swayed and followed behind, his cold eyes cast on Liu Chengxun, but he didn't know if his eldest brother felt a thorn in his back.

Recently, the curfew time in Jinyang City has been brought forward a lot, and the roads in the city are already silent, except for the patrolling soldiers who patrol back and forth.The Zhongcheng Bridge is also surprisingly quiet, and there is absolutely no hustle and bustle of people during the day.

Up and down the bridge, hundreds of guards and guards of the palace guarded by the side, vigilant against possible threats from the surroundings.Liu Zhiyuan stood quietly in the middle of the bridge, leaning on the railing towards the south, staring at the flowing Fen Shui in a trance, wearing a brocade suit and a robe over his shoulders.Looking from behind, Liu Zhiyuan's back is majestic and aloof, and his whole body seems to be exuding a domineering majesty.

"Father!" The two brothers stepped forward to greet each other, and then stood respectfully on their sides.

Liu Zhiyuan responded softly, and when he looked closer, Liu Chengyou found that Liu Zhiyuan's face did not have the solemn and serious expression he imagined.On the contrary, under the mottled bridge lights, Liu Zhiyuan looked peaceful.

"I don't know if my father called us here, what instructions do you have?" The two brothers stood with the old father for a long time, but Liu Chengxun couldn't hold back and asked.

Hearing the question, Liu Zhiyuan pressed his hands on the stone fence, and said leisurely: "These days, Hedong Wenwu has been persuading his father to make his father the emperor. It's full! Gu Gu is a little clueless in his heart. What are your thoughts, brothers?"

Regarding the two sons, Liu Zhiyuan no longer pretended to be reserved and put on an act, but discussed directly.Calling the second son may also have the meaning of testing the school.

In the face of Liu Zhiyuan's question, Liu Chengxun was a little entangled and pondered for a while, just now while observing his father's eyes, he answered hesitantly: "The requests from the group are full of loyal and good words, words from the heart, a piece of them. Dan's heart wishes, but it is not easy to reverse. However, after all, the Khitan is powerful, and it is understandable for my father to be more cautious, or we can wait and see for a while until the time changes!"

Liu Zhiyuan didn't seem too satisfied with Liu Chengxun's answer, he just sighed: "Those who persuaded to enter may have loyalty, but more, I am afraid it is for the sake of the dragon's merit, for fame and wealth. It may not be difficult to go further in status, but there is no way out. Since Tang Ji, in all the nine states in the world, I don’t know how many families and surnames have sat on that throne, but in the end they died and the country was destroyed.”

Liu Zhiyuan's tone was really a little wistful, but in Liu Chengyou's opinion, it was a little hypocritical.In front of the emperor's throne, all concerns are floating clouds!How could Liu Zhiyuan really care about the rise and fall since ancient times? It's not his character to look forward to the future.

Liu Chengxun obviously couldn't grasp Liu Zhiyuan's mentality. Hearing his sigh, he opened his mouth to comfort him: "Father's concerns are not unreasonable. But since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world. Cheng Tianjing's destiny, how can he follow in the footsteps?"

Hearing what he said, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but tilt his head to look at Aiko, no matter how he looked at his handsome face, there was a bit of pure pedantry.I sighed silently in my heart: It is not easy to conquer the country, but it is even more difficult to defend the country
Liu Chengyou silently listened to the conversation between his father and brother, until Liu Zhiyuan turned his attention to himself, and said resolutely: "If God does not take it, he will be to blame. Hu Kou stole the two capitals, and the people of the Central Plains were in danger. Ordering the world, hanging people and punishing crimes, and saving Li Shu, this is a matter of obeying the gods and people, so why should you hesitate?"

Liu Chengyou's words were actually nothing new. Liu Zhiyuan smiled and did not comment.

However, Liu Chengyou did not deliberately speculate to echo Liu Zhiyuan's mentality, but just continued to tell the most real thoughts in his heart: "Son of Heaven, those who are strong and strong should do it, I would rather have a seed! An Zhongrong's remarks are deafening and true. This is the truth of this chaotic world. Now Hedong has a strong army and is the leader of the vassals, and his father practices the throne of Zuo, how can others dare to disobey, and how can they not agree!"

Liu Chengyou's words fell, and a bright color flashed in Liu Zhiyuan's eyes.The eldest brother Liu Chengxun on the other side couldn't help but tilt his head to look at his second brother, stunned.

"Now, my Liu family has a good time, and Hedong occupies a favorable location. With the flag of righteousness, it will definitely support people. With these three, with the wiseness of my father and the strength of Hedong, can't things still be accomplished?" Unconsciously, Liu Chengyou more words.

"The time, the right place, and the people?" Liu Zhiyuan's interest was aroused.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Chengyou slowly said: "Aside from those righteous and awe-inspiring rhetoric, Khitan's destruction of Jin is a disaster for the country and a disaster for the people of Li. But for my father, it is a great opportunity. If there is no Khitan's Threat, the suspicion and contradiction between my father and the imperial court in the past will sooner or later turn into a meeting of swordsmen, and then my father will probably be in the difficult situation of the ancestor of Jin, and he will fight against the world with a corner."

"But now it's not the case. The Khitan is chaotic in the Central Plains. Although my father's name only owns several states in the east of the river, he can gather the world and gather the strength of a country to fight against the Khitan. Don't you understand the difference between this?"

After listening to Liu Chengyou's words, Liu Zhiyuan showed a serious expression.Probably tired from standing, looked around, greeted the second son directly, and sat on the ground.After sitting down, Liu Zhiyuan looked at Liu Chengyou and said, "Erlang, if you make such unjust words in front of others, I will definitely reprimand you. But tonight, as a father, I have to admit, you say It's a fact!"

Liu Zhiyuan's calm response made Liu Chengyou's mouth twitch like a twitch. He took a breath of the cool air of the spring night and continued to talk eloquently: "The mountains and rivers in the east of the river are dangerous and the location is convenient, so I don't need to go into details. As for people and people, Under the brutality of the Khitan army and horses, how can I, the Chinese scholars and people, not unite as one to fight against the enemy?"
