Chapter 401 Full Moon Banquet

"Fifth brother, please understand me. Don't forget that you told me that Lord Jiang was a talented person. Why don't you care about him now?" said the prince.
"Brother, yes, I told you at the beginning, but his son is much more capable than him. What can I do? I am helpless too." Liu Changfeng said

"In short, Fifth Brother, many things are like this. Think of a way." The prince said
"Brother, if this method was so easy, I would have released the person long ago. Why would I keep dragging it out? The key to this matter is not you and me, but the father and son."

"Even if I release them now, will Luo Zishang not retaliate? Although those people are locked up now, at least they can save their lives."

"If they release the people secretly, Luo Zishang will kill them all, right?" Liu Changfeng said

"Well, this is a problem, Lord Jiang, you heard it too, how do you plan to solve this problem? If you are not worried, my fifth brother is here, I'm sure he won't offend me."

"But you have to think clearly. What Fifth Brother said is very likely to happen. If an accident really happens, it will be too late to save him." The prince said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Jiang He hesitated for a moment, but seeing that he didn't say anything, the two brothers ignored him and continued to talk about their own things.

"Brother, there is something I have been wanting to ask you. Why did the emperor decide to send troops to various states? Wasn't everything fine before? Why did it suddenly?" Liu Changfeng asked
"Fifth brother, in fact, not to mention you, even I am confused now. I don't know why father suddenly took action. This matter is also very sudden for me."

"But I see that my father is very serious this time. I guess he has already made up his mind." The prince said
"It's so sudden? It seems that I have missed a lot of things in the past six months. Okay, Lord Jiang, have you thought it through?" Liu Changfeng asked
"Your Majesty, I still want to rescue the people first." Jiang He said directly
"Oh? Save them directly? Okay, very good, but if you really think it over, I'll tell you the truth. I'm going to tell your son about your decision."

"I won't care what he does at that time. I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you have made up your mind? Don't regret it in the future." Liu Changfeng said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. I still want to save people. If something bad happens in the future, it will be my Jiang family's bad luck, and I can't blame others." Jiang He bowed and said
"Okay, as long as you have made your decision. Since Big Brother has come forward today, I will agree to your request. Okay, Big Brother, if you have nothing else to say, I will go back first." Liu Changfeng said

"Okay, fifth brother, you've worked hard. Come, I'll see you off." The prince naturally stood up after hearing this.

After Liu Changfeng left, the prince asked, "Lord Jiang, are you sure you have made up your mind?"

"Your Highness, I have thought it through. This government prison is not a good place. After a long time, even if someone is released, he will be injured and sick."

"Instead of doing this, we might as well take a gamble. This way, even if Zishang really attacks, they won't all be in trouble." Jiang He said respectfully.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Then this matter is settled." The prince said
But at this time Liu Changfeng was in a completely different state. He did not return home, but went directly to Luo Zishang's mansion.

When Luo Zishang learned that he had arrived, he naturally hurried to greet him, and then the two of them walked into the study. After Liu Changfeng sat down, he told him what had happened.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that this man must be released?" Luo Zishang asked
"That's right. I'm afraid this person can't be locked up. After all, the prince made his meaning very clear today. If I disagree, he will probably issue an order himself."

"The government office below will release the person by then. Instead of that, why don't we take the initiative? You still have time to prepare." Liu Changfeng said

"Well, Your Majesty is right, it is indeed true, but this old man Jiang He is really resourceful, he was able to persuade the Crown Prince to come forward so quickly." Luo Zishang said

"Jiang He was able to become the head of the six ministries in the previous dynasty, so he must be capable. So it's not surprising that he can do this."

"What are you going to do next? You're not really going to take action right away, are you?" Liu Changfeng asked
"Your Majesty, I'm not stupid enough to do it right away. Since he saved someone, he will be prepared. So we can't be impatient at this moment. We need to take our time."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know the seriousness of the matter. I have waited for so many years. A few more days won't be a problem." Luo Zishang said with a relaxed look on his face.

When Liu Changfeng heard this, he knew that he was prepared, so he felt relieved and said, "Okay, since you are prepared, I will leave first."

Liu Changfeng was leaving, so Luo Zishang naturally had to see him off. After Liu Changfeng left, Luo Zishang's expression began to change. In fact, his heart was far from as calm as he appeared.

After all, the person he had caught with great difficulty was now going to be released. Of course he was unwilling to accept this, but even so, he had to accept this reality.

But Liu Changfeng didn't care about these things at this time. After all, his previous involvement in this kind of matter was considered as extra help, so naturally he didn't want to interfere anymore.

After all, I am busy with the full moon banquet now, so I don’t have the time to deal with these trivial matters.

"My dear, you are back. Why are you here so late? Did something happen to you?" Yun'er asked
"It's my eldest brother. He asked me to have a chat. Actually, I was just lobbying for someone. It's no big deal. I've already taken care of it." Liu Changfeng said

"Oh, that's good, that's good. By the way, husband, this is the process of An An's full moon banquet that I prepared. Can you see if there are any omissions?" Ye Yun said softly.
"Oh? It's ready so quickly. Okay, let me take a look first." Liu Changfeng said with a smile

Liu Changfeng took a quick look and didn't find any problems, so he said, "Madam, you are very thoughtful. There is nothing to modify. I think we should leave it as it is."

"Okay, then I'll have someone send out the invitations tomorrow. However, for some people we may have to go in person." Ye Yun said with a smile

"That's fine, just go in person. This is our son's full moon banquet, so of course the more grand the better." Liu Changfeng said with a smile

Then the couple went to see their son together. Seeing their son's cute appearance, Liu Changfeng's smile never faded.

In the following time, the couple had to go out to deliver invitations every day. Fortunately, there were not many invitations that required them to deliver personally, so it didn't take them many days.

The day of the full moon banquet soon arrived. On that day, Liu Changfeng and his wife stood at the door to welcome everyone. After everyone arrived, they went back.

Liu Changfeng attached great importance to his son's full moon banquet, and the palace also attached great importance to it. Although Emperor Xining and the Empress did not come, imperial decrees and rewards continued.

Liu Changfeng didn't care that his son, who was only one month old, was directly canonized as the crown prince. However, Ye Yun was different and seemed a little excited. "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited? Isn't this normal? Even if the emperor doesn't canonize him this time, I will ask for his permission in a few days." Liu Changfeng said

"Well, I know, I know, but I am, I am, oh, today is such a good day, husband, please stop teasing me, let's go." Ye Yun said directly
After hearing this, Liu Changfeng did not say anything else, but walked inside while pulling his wife.

His mansion was still very lively today. Although the emperor and the empress were not here, all his brothers came in full force and no one was absent.

So Liu Changfeng had been accompanying them, and in a corner that he didn't know, Jiang He was pulling Luo Zishang to talk about something, and judging from the expressions of the two, it was obviously not good.

"Zi Shang, what do you want in order to let your family go? After all, they are your blood relatives. Can you please stop messing around?" Jiang He said.
"Haha, Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang, even at this point, you still think I'm fooling around. You're really funny, Lord Jiang."

"They are your relatives, not mine. Their life or death has nothing to do with me. Since you abandoned my mother because of them, I naturally cannot let them have an easy life."

"Don't worry, I will give you a month to hide them and don't let me find them."

"I will start taking action in a month. By then, I promise to let you receive a death notice every day, and let you watch them die little by little."

"To be honest, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to do it. After all, we are in the government office and it would make too much noise." Luo Zishang said

"Zi Shang, do you really want to do this? If you have really thought about it, then give it a try. I tell you, today is the last time I will come to see you."

"If anything happens again in the future, don't blame me." Jiang He said seriously.

Hahaha, Jiang He, ah Jiang He, you finally showed your true colors. Very good, just like before. If you had done this earlier, why would I have dragged it on until now?

"Don't worry, in ten days, you will receive the first death news. Our competition starts from this moment. Don't worry, I will kill your wife and son first."

"My greatest wish in this life is to let you experience what it means to be alone. I want to make you feel so miserable that you wish you were dead. I want to make you speechless when you meet the ancestors of your Jiang family."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. From now on, there's nothing more to say between you and me. Today is a great day, and I don't want to spoil the fun. Goodbye." Liu Changfeng said

Jiang He looked at his departing back, and his heart sank to the bottom, because he could imagine what he was about to face.

The child's hatred for himself was far beyond his imagination.

At this time, Liu Changfeng couldn't care so much. He didn't know what was happening in the corner. He was still busy dealing with the guests. He didn't care about anything else.

Time passed slowly. After the couple sent everyone away, they smiled at each other, then lay down on the bed and did not move.

"Madam, I really didn't expect that a full moon banquet could be so tiring. Fortunately, it is finally over and I have made it through." Liu Changfeng said

"Yeah, I didn't know I was so tired, but now everything is fine, right? Okay, husband, get up quickly. We've been tired all day, so hurry up and take a shower and relax." Ye Yun said
"Okay, then let's do it together. It feels like we haven't washed together for a long time." Liu Changfeng said

After hearing what her husband said, Ye Yun felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't say anything. After all, it was the truth.

Finally, Liu Changfeng asked someone to bring hot water. The two took a comfortable bath and then went to bed. Of course, no matter how tired they were, this pre-bedtime activity was essential.

After the full moon banquet, Liu Changfeng thought he could finally relax, so he was called into the imperial study by his father.

"Okay, get up. No need to be so polite. You have rested long enough in the past six months. It's time to do something serious. You can't hide away all the time." Emperor Xining said

"Father, please swear to the heaven and earth, I am not hiding. I want to be busy, but I have nothing to do. Aren't you a good cook who has nothing to cook?" Liu Changfeng said

"Hmph, that's enough. Stop being sarcastic. You've heard about what happened recently, right? Are you still blaming me for hiding it from you?" Emperor Xining asked.
"Father, look at what you said. If you didn't tell me, then you have no reason to do so. How could I complain? No, no, absolutely not." Liu Changfeng said hurriedly.

"Okay, you know whether it is true or not. The reason why I didn't tell you about this is because it is fake from beginning to end. I don't plan to send troops." Emperor Xining said

"What? Father, are you saying that you don't plan to send troops? Then, then what do you want to do?" Liu Changfeng said

"Chang Feng, you guessed it, right? You are right. I want to clean up the capital. There are too many people from various forces in the capital. There are no secrets at all."

"This won't do. How can we let the people below know so much about the affairs of the court? I didn't touch them before because I just ascended the throne and it's not appropriate to start a war."

"But now, the political situation is stable, and it is time to deal with them. However, before dealing with them, we must first strike a blow to the people behind them." Emperor Xining said

"Father, you called me here today because you want me to handle this matter?" Liu Changfeng asked
"That's right. I said you were smart. You guessed it right at once. Chang Feng, I know you feel a little wronged, but there are some things that you should understand my difficulties."

"In the past, we were our own family, so it didn't matter if I was a little biased in some matters. But now, it's no longer possible. Now our identities have changed, and there are more things to consider."

"Just like I didn't give you the title before, I still can't give you this position now, do you understand?" Emperor Xining said solemnly.
