Chapter 438: Visiting Wife Guo at Night

In Kunming's bedroom, he dismissed the attendants and took away the prince Yang, leaving only one dragon and two phoenixes.Liu Chengyou took off the jade embellishment, took off his dragon robe and boots, and lay quietly on the queen's phoenix couch. The two sisters performed their duties and waited on them.

The feet rested on the jade legs of the small talisman, and the concubine Hui was pinching the emperor in a strange way; the head was resting in the arms of the big talisman, which was elegant and fragrant, and when you looked up, you could see the fullness of desire, but it was a pity that Liu Chengyou was closed Eye.

The corner of Dafu's lips smiled, and he pressed Liu Chengyou's head against his abdomen, feeling the gentle but scorching breath, his jade cheeks couldn't help flushing, and he felt a sense of embarrassment in a taboo place.

Twisting her delicate buttocks slightly, the queen suppressed Qi Nian. After all, her younger sister, Concubine Hui, was still there. She kept her mind steady and moved her hands carefully. She personally peeled pears for Liu Chengyou, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Erlang? No? Are you ready to march to the north? Just now I heard in the palace that you stopped the preparations and urgently summoned civil and military officials to discuss matters. What happened?"

Liu Chengyou still had his eyes closed, the embrace of the big talisman seemed particularly comfortable, although the skill of the small talisman was unfamiliar, but that little hand seemed to be able to touch his heart.

Hearing the queen's initiative to ask, Liu Chengyou responded casually: "There is indeed a change in the north, and the national policy and strategy change according to the situation. However, the military discussion in the palace, the ministers are all sticking to their own opinions, and I don't know who to listen to for a while. Already!"

The doubts in the beautiful eyes were dispelled, as if he could feel the boredom in Liu Chengyou's heart, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It seems that Erlang has encountered a problem, I have never seen you hesitate like this! "

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou suddenly opened his eyes, rubbed his head against the queen's chest, and heard a coquettish groan.
Shrinking back again, Liu Chengyou looked at the queen's jade face from a bottom-up angle, and asked, "Is my emotion so obvious?"

Dafu said: "It's almost written on his face, Erlang asks his second sister if he doesn't believe it."

Liu Chengyou looked at Xiaofu again, and Concubine Hui nodded her head: "Your Majesty the Lord of Xiongdu, this is the first time this concubine has seen this since entering the palace."

"What kind of decisive lord, it is inevitable that there will be times of indecision!" Liu Chengyou laughed at himself, and then said in a complaining tone: "Those foreign ministers are too much. There is no time when they agree, and they can still speak eloquently. Each according to their own principles, but the lord is troubled."

Hearing what the emperor said, the Queen's Dafu couldn't help being happy, and her chest trembled: "Erlang is blaming others. I have heard that a wise king, who picks up all kinds of chapters, chooses the good one, how to make a decision, and submit to him." Your Majesty."

"You saw it!" Liu Chengyou said.

"I believe that with Erlang's wisdom, he will make the most sensible decision!" Da Fu's tone was full of confidence in Liu Chengyou.

"You are so confident in me?" Liu Chengyou asked.

The queen bowed her head and replied seriously: "Of course."

"It's not going to stop, I'm going to be disturbed by it, but I don't have much time for me to hesitate!" Liu Chengyou got up from the couch, sat cross-legged, and murmured.

"Erlang, let's eat a pear!" The big talisman held a peeled pear gracefully between two fingers, and handed it to Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou took it, took a bite, and asked, "Is this a pear?"

"Yes!" Da Fu replied, "It's the pears from Bagong Mountain in Shouzhou. It is said that they are quite famous in Huainan, and they are bought by the people in the palace!"

"Palgong Mountain also produces crisp pears? All I know is that its Zijin Inkstone is very famous, and the Chongzheng Palace also has a superb piece!"

"Shouzhou, the hometown of culture, outstanding people, and an important town in Huainan." Liu Chengyou stared at the pear missing in his hand, and said meaningfully: "This Shouzhou pear tastes really good!"

Liu Chengyou really slept in the Kunming Hall, and he left the hall only in the evening, because he didn't have to spend a lot of time, and his steps were very steady.

Walking among the palace without a chariot and sedan chair, Liu Chengyou suddenly said: "If Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin were in Tokyo, I'd like to hear their opinions and how they would choose!"

Hearing it, Zhang Dejun couldn't help saying: "Why don't the officials call them back to Beijing?"

"How can this be in time!" Liu Chengyou looked at Zhang Dejun: "Where is your usual alertness? Can't you see the military strategy is urgent?"

Asked about it, Zhang Dejun said embarrassingly: "You little blunt, how can you know the general strategy of military affairs?"

For Zhang Dejun's cautiousness, Liu Chengyou didn't care too much, and only by being smart can he live a long time.

Liu Chengyou thought of Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, but it was because both of them had "the appearance of an emperor", it was just a thought.As he walked, he stopped and stood under the palace platform. Liu Chengyou suddenly thought that in Tokyo, there was another person with "imperial potential".

"Zhang Dejun!" Liu Chengyou called out.

"Here! What orders do the officials have?" Surprised by the emperor's sudden order, Zhang Dejun hurriedly listened.

"Call Zhang Yongde, and go to Xing Guogong's mansion with me!" Liu Chengyou ordered.

"Your Majesty is going out of the palace? Let me tell you, my little one, to prepare for the ride!" Hearing the order, Zhang Dejun immediately said.

"What kind of car do you want, call a team of guards, and travel lightly!"

The middle gate of Xing Guogong's mansion, except for the large and majestic plaque, is full of simple scenery.

In the evening, the servants in the mansion were busy preparing dinner, although it was Gaomen's mansion, it was a bit more humane.

In the back garden, Guo Wei, who is recuperating at home, is smiling all over his face, teasing his new youngest son, who was born in the autumn of the third year of Qianyou, and is already more than one year old. I love it very much.

After seven or eight months of unemployment, Guo Wei's overall mental state is not bad, and he looks more and more hale and hearty. The grayness of his temples has not increased much, and his body still looks strong.If he didn't suffer as much damage as the original history, he should be able to live for a few more years.

Guo Wei was very surprised when he learned that the emperor was coming from the steward of the mansion, doubts flashed in his old eyes, Guo Wei put away his loving father's face, and handed over the youngest son to the wet nurse.Immediately, he wanted to go back to his room, change his clothes and tidy up his appearance, and told the family to prepare to pick him up.But he was told that there was no need to make a big noise, the emperor came in a low-key manner and had already arrived at the palace.

In the main hall of the mansion, Guo Wei and his family paid homage, and Liu Chengyou personally helped him up.

"Why is Your Majesty coming here in person, I'm too late to pick you up, please forgive me!" Guo Wei complained.

Liu Chengyou's attitude towards Guo Wei at this time was exceptionally friendly, and he said with a light smile, "This unexpected guest came and shocked your house. Don't blame Guo Qing!"

"How dare the old minister!" Guo Wei greeted Liu Chengyou personally: "Your Majesty, please take your seat!"

Without refusing, he sat directly on the front seat, and his eyes fell on Guo Wei's little one.The two graceful and dignified beautiful ladies are his current wives and concubines, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Dong.

As far as Guo Wei is concerned, the second half of his life can be described as "promotion, fortune, and death of his wife".First, the original wife, Chai. After Chai's death, his second wife, Yang, also died in Taiyuan within a few years.

During the rise of the Han Dynasty, Guo Wei entered the Central Plains, and Guo Wei asked to marry Zhang and Dong successively.What's interesting is that Guo Wei's four wives, except for his original wife Chai, are all widows. It's not too much to praise a "wife Guo".The key is the person with good vision. Yang, Zhang, and Dong are all beautiful mature women with good charm, virtuous character, and good luck.
Of course, Liu Chengyou didn't pay attention to Guo Wei's wives and concubines in the Guofu hall, but instead focused on Guo Wei's youngest son who was quietly lying in the arms of the nurse.

Noticing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Guo Wei took the initiative to introduce: "This child is the new youngest son of the minister last year, and he will temporarily order Brother Fu."

Except for Guo Rong, Guo Wei's other two sons have already married and established careers. One is a member of the Ministry of War, and the other is a magistrate in Caizhou. They are young and their careers are smooth.

Liu Chengyou got up, took off a piece of yellow jade pendant hanging from his waist, put it gently into the child's blessing clothes, and said with a smile: "Guo Qing is called many sons, many blessings, and this jade ring is my late congratulatory gift." , this son is older, maybe he can enter the palace to study with the prince!"

Liu Chengyou said casually, but Guo Wei took his heart and thanked him: "On behalf of my son, thank you for your majesty's kindness."

Waving his hand, Liu Chengyou touched his stomach, and said to Guo Wei with a smile: "When I was still outside the mansion, I saw smoke rising from the mansion. I came here on an empty stomach!"

Seeing the emperor's friendly attitude, Guo Wei was even more flattered, and immediately said: "I will send someone to prepare meals immediately, and add some wine and vegetables. Your Majesty, don't worry about the poor food at home!"

"Don't be so troublesome. I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time. Set up a frame in the courtyard, put some pork and mutton, and prepare spices. You and my monarchs and ministers can chat about the world while drinking and roasting meat. How about it?" Liu Chengyou looked excited. appearance.

Seeing this, Guo Wei cupped his hands and said: "Since Your Majesty has such a taste, I will take it as my companion."

The weather in late autumn is already a bit cold, coupled with the strong wind, the fallen leaves are blown upside down, and the lake is turbulent.Just beside the quiet lake in the back garden of the Guo Mansion, two grills were set up, and the wine and meat were prepared. Guo Wei's wife, Mrs. Zhang, grilled the meat in person, and Zhang Dejun led people to check the meat. some.

Under the crescent moon, in the garden, roasting the fire, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting, but it has a special taste.

"Guo Qing has been convalescing in the mansion for nearly eight months, and now that he can drink so much, he must have recovered from his illness!" After having another drink with Guo Wei, Liu Chengyou suddenly expressed concern.

Wen asked, Guo Wei paused to the edge of his mouth, and glanced at Liu Chengyou, but saw that he was staring at the roast mutton that Zhang had cut into the plate seriously.Taking a sip of his wine, Guo Wei thought for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty is so concerned, my illness is an old problem, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover from the hidden wounds on the battlefield."

"Then drink less of this wine!"

"Born in the battlefield, I always have this hobby, and my family often persuades me."

"With Guo Qing's merits and talents, it must be very difficult to stay at home for so long." Liu Chengyou's tone was still so friendly.

Guo Wei has an open-minded face: "The minister is at home, and the military and government are less burdensome. He can not only support his body, but also entertain his grandchildren, so that he can enjoy his family relationship. He feels quite leisurely!"

Liu Chengyou didn't really believe Guo Wei's words, and he didn't think it was interesting to chat like this. His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly looked directly at him: "I don't play tricks with Guo Qing anymore. Since the founding of the country, Guo Qing has always insisted on In terms of military administration, at the beginning of the year I divided the power of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, so Guo Qing doesn't have any resentment in her heart?"

Liu Chengyou's gaze at this time was a little sharp, reflecting the firelight, a little bright.Being stared at by him like this, the smile on Guo Wei's face slowly faded, his eyelids drooped, thinking about how to answer this question.If you directly say that you have no grievances, let alone Liu Chengyou, even he himself doesn't believe it, unless he is a saint
With only a slight twist in his mind, Guo Wei showed his usual honest smile: "The country was first established, and the economic structure is not yet perfect. After some adjustments, it is normal for the various departments to gain or lose. Your Majesty is determined to act, and there will be reforms." , is also understandable.”

Hearing his answer, Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing a few times, took a sip of light wine, and restrained his description: "I came here to bring Guo Qing a good medicine!"
