Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 357 “A fool has too much money” Meng Zhongcheng
  King Liu Yong of Han is now less than ten years old, and he is at the age of playfulness.

Even though they were members of the royal family, Liu Bei also found husbands for him and Liu Li, who also needed to practice literature, martial arts, and classics.

Liu Yong has always admired his elder brother, but unfortunately what he learned from Liu Chan was that he was naughty, mischievous, whimsical, and glared at the angry gentlemen.

In addition, Lao Liu was not as interested in other children as Liu Chan, so there was nothing they could do against the little ancestor.

Compared with Liu Chan's childhood, Liu Yongke was much happier. Since Liu took over Yizhou, he has been well clothed, well fed and nourished.

Lao Liu's palace was still the original Hanzhong Palace. In order to use all the finances for the Northern Expedition and internal construction, he not only did not carry out any large-scale construction, nor even expanded it.

King Liu Yong of Han was still young, and the fiefdom was still in the hands of Cao Wei, so he still lived in the palace.

There was a roar in the back garden, which happened to be heard by the queen who was about to take a walk.

"King Han, my father and brother are fighting on the battlefield. Is it inappropriate for you to be so slack despite your heavy responsibility of supervising the country?"

The cold voice came, and Liu Yong's chill surged up, immediately making Lingling shiver.

The only one who could talk to him in this tone was the Queen. Turning around, she saw that the graceful and dignified woman was none other than the Queen.

Liu Yong hurriedly ran over and bowed respectfully: "I have seen my mother."

Even the little eunuch behind him who was about to get the fabric immediately stopped and trembled with fear and knelt on the ground: "Meet the Queen."

The empress was born into a wealthy family in Yizhou, so only when Liu Chan was in favor of her, she acted like an ordinary loving mother who doted on her children and had no principles.

But in fact, that state was also a very special existence in her life.

Most of the time, she is dignified and polite, but has a majestic aura, and can handle herself even when facing foreign ministers.

Just like when he went to Zhuge Liang, who was still a military advisor, to ask for his son...

As for the harem and other sons, his prestige is no less than that of Liu Bei.

Liu Yong took a peek at the queen. It seemed that apart from missing his father and brother as always, there was no sign of getting angry, and he suddenly felt at ease.

He smiled hurriedly and said: "Mother, my father is wise, and my brother is powerful. This expedition will definitely be overwhelming and return victorious. There are virtuous ministers and loyal and brave people to assist and protect us, so... we can't be a little slack."

The corners of the queen's mouth slightly curled up unnoticeably, and she thought of her son, who was thousands of miles away, talking nonsense with her.

"If you don't want to learn from me, I want to learn from your brother's sharp tongue!"

The seemingly harsh words also contained a touch of kindness.

Liu Yong immediately felt relieved: "Hey, I remember, my mother, please rest assured."

Liu Yong has become more and more proficient in imitating his brother's appearance to please his mother, and even Xiao Liu Li has begun to develop in this direction.

The queen actually knew this well, but she was also happy to see it.

Although these two bastards cannot become great talents, it is not a bad thing in the imperial family.

What she is most satisfied with about these two concubines is that they both admire Liu Chan and are very measured.

This is enough, and Lao Liu's two sons have also inherited some of their father's qualities.

Although they are playful and unwilling to make progress, they never bully the people.

Although he is rich and well-fed, like Lao Liu, he likes new clothes, horses, and dogs. Recently, he has also become obsessed with things like fighting and weaving.

But they only used their own quotas and never accepted property from foreign ministers or merchants.

When the queen heard what Liu Yong said, she didn't impose any more restraints or punishments. She just glanced at the little eunuch beside her and asked, "What's your name?"

"Back to the queen, my name is Huang Hao." This little eunuch has a delicate face and looks a bit clever.

The queen nodded: "Serve King Han wholeheartedly, and correct the Lord at all times. Don't indulge in pleasure."

"I obey." Huang Hao bowed his head and kowtowed.

When Liu Yong raised his eyes, the queen had already left. The two of them seemed to return to King Han's residence respectfully, but when they left the garden, they turned around again...

"Put on your cinnabar forehead and let's meet at the back of the mountain." Liu Yong whispered, "If you are discovered..."

"Yes! Don't worry, my lord, I will handle it myself and will not embarrass my lord." Huang Hao smiled knowingly and immediately went away secretly.

Liu Yong was very satisfied with the little chamberlain sent to serve him. He was smart, always thought of himself, and most importantly, was not afraid of taking the blame if something went wrong. However, the King of Han, who was busy fighting and organizing, and Liu Yong, who was responsible for supervising the country, were not aware of a conspiracy that was about to be launched in Yizhou...

Even before Liu Chan sent troops for the Northern Expedition, some people came from afar and contacted the "locals" who had lived here for a long time.

Most of these locals moved to Yizhou to escape the war in the north.

This was nothing new back then, and some people even came earlier than Lao Liu.

However, some of them were spies planted by Cao Wei early on.

Liu Bei is not the only one who wants to take Yizhou. Boss Cao naturally has plans to unify the country.

As long as the Battle of Hanzhong is won, these people will be of great use.

But no one expected that "Firefighting Captain Yuanzi" on the right side of Hubu Pass would lose his life here, and eventually Boss Cao would lose Hanzhong.

However, this also caused these people to lurk and wait patiently for the next opportunity.

Now, they finally waited...

Meng Huo had a luxurious mansion in Chengdu. Speaking of the luxury of this mansion, let alone Zhuge Liang, Liu Ba and others who had always been simple.

Even compared to Xu Jing and Mi Zhu's house in Chengdu, it is not inferior.

You must know that Xu Jing was a Situ. After Mi Fang "sacrificed his country and made great contributions" in Jingzhou, Mi Zhu was directly promoted to Sikong when Lao Liu registered.

Although the military and political power on Lao Liu's side were in the hands of the prime minister and the chancellor, the so-called three princes were just "mascots" who were favored and favored.

But no matter what, he is still the third prince, and he is also a very human minister.

Meng Huo's mansion was comparable to theirs, which showed that Lao Liu favored and valued him. Even as an official of Yushi Zhongcheng, he was not only a mascot, but also had some rights and responsibilities.

And since the shrewd Meng Huo arrived in Chengdu, he changed his past domineering and ruthless attitude in Nanzhong. He smiled first at everyone and acted boldly. As a southern barbarian, he unexpectedly gained good popularity.

On weekdays, he rarely cares about gains and losses with others, and he can be called a model of "people are stupid and have too much money".

Many people who were prejudiced against him before, or even looked down upon him, actually accepted him as time went by.

But Meng Huo is also very measured. Although he is trying his best to improve the relationship with Chengdu's senior officials, he even deliberately avoids military generals, let alone making friends with them.

Even after Meng Yan became Hubu Prison, he deliberately distanced himself from him.

Since there is no longer any dissent, there is no need to do anything that makes people suspicious. This is Meng Huo's principle.

Meng Huo took care of the affairs of the court seriously, and spent the rest of his time entertaining guests and enjoying the scenery, with his beautiful concubine as his companion, and was quite happy.

"Haha, brother Liu Xian, please come quickly." Meng Huo smiled warmly as he looked at the head of the Liu family who came to visit him.

The Liu family is now considered a local surname in Yizhou, and its sphere of influence is in Shu County, where Chengdu is located.

But now few people know that they also fled from the north...

The head of the Liu family glanced at the cool-dressed dancers in the hall and the musicians on one side, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Meng Zhongcheng is so elegant."

"Hey~ What's wrong with the prime minister? You and I hit it off as old friends as brothers, ah? Hahaha." Meng Huo said, grabbed Lao Liu's arm affectionately, and pulled him into the house.

There are no members of the Liu family who hold any prominent positions, but the family has been in business for many years, and now many of them are working at the grassroots level in various counties in Shu County. They can also be regarded as a local snake family.

With Meng Huo's current status, treating him so politely can be regarded as a courtesy.

Of course, this was reciprocation. When Meng Huo first arrived in Chengdu, the Liu family was the first to make friends with him.

The Liu family contributed a lot to Meng Huo's smooth integration into the local circles in Chengdu and Shu County.

The two of them drank and had fun as usual. After a while, while they were still drinking, Lao Liu paused and sighed.

Meng Huo was watching the girls from Bashu blooming happily. When he saw Lao Liu's behavior, he nonchalantly asked, smelling of wine, "What? Brother Liu Xian is in trouble? Just ask!"

"Alas..." Lao Liu sighed again, and suddenly looked at Meng Huo and said, "Brother Meng... To be honest, it's not worth it for me to stand in for my brother."

Meng Huo stirred up his spirit and felt a cold air instantly rush from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Cap. He was slightly drunk and woke up instantly...
