Han Shizu

Chapter 718 Guo's Father and Son
The imperial banquet in the Long Live Hall did not last too late. After all, the generals had fought for a long time and were exhausted on the way home. They needed to rest. As the emperor, they had to be sympathetic.However, during the entire imperial banquet, the guests felt at home, and finally there was no such thing as "proud of meritorious deeds, disrespectful in front of the palace", all the generals behaved well.

"Father drank a lot of wine today!" Guo Rong said softly while supporting Guo Wei in the passageway out of the palace under the waning moon.

The night wind was strong, and finally brought a little coolness. It seemed to blow away the drunkenness on Guo Wei's face, and he walked steadily. Guo Wei said, "I can't refuse the kindness of the emperor!"

"Fortunately, my father has finally returned to Beijing. The family misses you very much, and now we can finally reunite!" Guo Rong sighed.

When Guo Wei went south to Xiangyang to take office, except for one concubine, he was accompanied by only a few parts and servants, and the rest of the wives and concubines probably did not bring them with them.Of course, the nature of the retention is not that deep, because all his children have grown up and either become government households or married, and only the youngest children still live in the government.

Up to now, the Guo family has actually been closely linked with the Han Dynasty. Of course, the influence of the Han Dynasty in turn is as great as Liu Chengyou feared.

Hearing Guo Rong mention his family, Guo Wei couldn't help showing a bit of tenderness on his face, and sighed: "I have wronged you and them!"

"Father's return to Beijing this time has touched the hearts of everyone. Relatives and old friends of the Guo family have all sent letters expressing their desire to visit." Guo Rong's lowered voice remained steady.

Hearing this, Guo Wei frowned: "It's really annoying you! How did you arrange it?"

"I have notified them to keep themselves safe, to perform their duties, not to get together, not to discuss, not to break the law!" Guo Rong replied.

"It seems that you have made great progress!" Guo Wei showed a satisfied smile.

Guo Rong sighed, hesitating a little on his face, and said: "Since my father has returned to court, my son should also leave Beijing at his own request!"

Hearing what he said, Guo Wei seemed to recall a similar situation three years ago in his mind. Guo Rong returned with his military exploits. In order to pave the way for him, Guo Wei asked himself to be dismissed and left Xiangzhou.

His thoughts and scruples were quickly found out, but at this time Guo Wei's attitude was not as straightforward as usual, but he shook his head and replied: "Don't be in a hurry, your Majesty will arrange it, and then worry about it!"

"Could father have other considerations?" Guo Rong asked tentatively.

Guo Wei raised his eyes to look at the waning moon in the night sky, the dim light was still bright, and the emotion in his tone became more intense, Guo Wei said: "After all, I am old, but you are in the prime of life, and you are appreciated by Your Majesty."

At this time, Guo Wei's expression and voice showed a sense of a hero's twilight, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright in the dark night. He stared at Guo Rong and said seriously: "Guo Xin, Guo Tong, Guo Tong, and the others, Believe in mediocrity, although Guo Tong has some talent, but not enough qualifications, the future of the Guo family depends on you!"

Guo Rong is an astute person. From his words, he vaguely sensed something, opened his mouth, and couldn't help saying: "Father is serious!"

"Forget it! I'm finally back in Beijing, and I'm happy today too, so don't mention this!" Guo Wei quickly put on a carefree expression, chuckled and said, "In two days, I will call your brothers and sisters in Beijing together for a family meal. , Call Baoyi (Zhang Yongde) and his wife and Chongjin. They are all blood of direct relatives, and they are not afraid of criticism from others!"

"Yes!" Guo Rong replied: "It's time to get together, but Guo Xin is working in Songzhou, I'm afraid it's not easy to leave without authorization!"

"Then don't bother him, I will write a letter at that time, just to explain!"

Counting Guo Rong, Guo Wei has four sons under his knees, Guo Xin is the magistrate of Songzhou, and Guo Tong is Chongzheng Lang, all of whom hold important positions.As for the youngest son Guo Yi, he has just turned five years old, otherwise as long as he has a little talent, his official position will not be too low.

On Liu Chengyou's side, although he controlled his drinking, he still couldn't help but feel excited. His face was slightly drunk, and the feeling of being drunk, but not drunk, made him clear and clear.

In front of the Chongzheng Hall, it was Zhao Pu who stepped down from the imperial chariot and entered, and still insisted on working in the hall, along with two Lang officials on duty.Liu Chengyou is quite used to his diligence.

For the return of the emperor, Zhao Pu was also a little surprised, and hurriedly got up to salute.He waved his hands, with a drunken smile on his face, sat down slowly, and raised his legs, Liu Chengyou asked: "What's the matter? Please deal with it overnight?"

"It's all mundane affairs!" Zhao Pu responded, and hastily added: "In addition, the envoys of the puppet court have arrived in Tokyo before evening, and have been arranged at the guest post!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Chengyou suddenly showed surprise, couldn't help laughing, and sighed slightly: "It's finally here!"

After the envoys of the Southern Han Dynasty went north to transit, they flew to Tokyo from Hunan.It was early May when we set off, and now it is late June, so Liu Chengyou couldn't help saying: "It's a long way from here to Lingnan, and the road is bumpy, but it won't take nearly two months!"

Mentioning this, Zhao Pu couldn't help but shook his head, with contempt showing on his face: "It is said that the envoy came to the north, traveling in the mountains and rivers all the way, which made the journey slow. Hard as Tokyo!"

"This is really a strange person and a strange thing!" Liu Chengyou became more and more interested: "You are so frivolous, you actually regard the important affairs of the country, and the envoys come and go like a child's play. Who is it?"

Zhao Pu reported, "Return to Your Majesty, the envoy's name is Chen Yanshou, and he is an eunuch in the Southern Han Palace!"

When he said this, Zhao Pu himself couldn't help showing contempt.

"Send eunuchs as envoys, so Liu Sheng can do it!" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows, smiled, and asked Zhao Pu: "Since the past dynasties, have eunuchs been used as envoys?"

Zhao Pu shook his head and replied, "Perhaps it's because I have little knowledge and never heard of it!"

"I'm getting more and more curious about this puppet dynasty occupying south of the Five Ridges!" Liu Chengyou said, with obvious ridicule in his tone.

"Your Majesty, the envoy from the puppet dynasty must have the intention of paying tribute to repair it and seek peace. I don't know when I will receive it?" Zhao Pu asked for instructions.

"After the court is over tomorrow, you can arrange it!" Liu Chengyou ordered directly.

"Yes!"

"By the way, Zhao Xie, take some time to visit him for me!" Liu Chengyou said, looking around and landing on Zhao Xie's slightly empty desk.

"Yes!" Zhao Pu clasped his hands in response, with an imperceptible envy in his eyes.

Because of Zhao Wei's health, Liu Chengyou kindly let him take a five-day vacation to relieve his fatigue and nourish his body. It was only the second day, and he missed it a little, so he took the initiative to ask.

Zhao Pu couldn't help feeling a little fluctuating in his heart, Zhao Wei was low-key and humble, with a gentle personality, and even felt a sense of weakness and bullying.But in terms of the love and trust of the emperor, I am afraid that none of Chongzheng Lang in the palace can compare, including Zhang Ji who seems to be favored by the emperor.On the other hand, it is so easy for Zhao Wei to be able to sit firmly in the position of a scholar in the Chongzheng Palace and stay there for several years.

It was probably due to drunkenness, and Liu Chengyou didn't care about Zhao Pu's reaction, so he stood up all of a sudden, shaking a little, Zhang Dejun hurried forward to support him: "Officials, be careful!"

Originally, he planned to work hard for a while, but seeing that his condition was no longer good, Liu Chengyou simply ordered him to drive to the harem.Before leaving, he also told Zhao Pu: "You should go back to the mansion earlier, stay in the palace every night, and my sister-in-law will complain about me, and you will waste my candle."

"Your Majesty is joking!" Zhao Pu said humbly.

"Your Majesty, walk slowly!"

"Official family, where will you stay tonight?" Zhang Dejun asked for instructions after leaving Chongzheng Hall and being helped onto the dragon chariot.

After thinking about it for a while, he vomited a mouthful of alcohol, and Liu Chengyou pointed: "Yaohua Palace!"

Yaohua Hall at night, although not brightly lit, the light is extremely soft, falling through the gauze tent onto the spacious bed, showing the figure of Liu Chengyou sitting with his hips stretched out, and the air is full of ambiguous atmosphere.

For Liu Chengyou's sudden arrival, Concubine Gao was both surprised and pleasantly surprised.As for Liu Chengyou, looking at the lady in the tulle light cage in front of him, the hazy beauty under the dim yellow light made him a little fascinated.

As for the graceful and delicate body under the light veil, the big breasts, long legs and big butt. Liu Chengyou suddenly felt that he was sober, and his whole body was full of energy and motivation.
