Chapter 34 The Bad News
Liu Yixuan left Dongping County Government and saw someone waiting anxiously outside the door. The man was none other than Liu Fu, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Butler Liu, why are you here?" Liu Yixuan's first reaction when he saw Liu Fu was shocked, because he knew that Liu Fu was the butler in his mansion and the person he trusted most by his father Liu Anguo. He usually stayed with Liu Anguo and would not easily send him on a far-flight basis. He didn't know what happened today, but Liu Anguo actually asked the butler to come to deliver the letter.
When Liu Fu saw Liu Yixuan coming, he hurriedly went up and grabbed his clothes, and said anxiously: "Young master, something is wrong!"
Seeing that Liu Fu was panicked, Liu Yixuan thought that something big happened at home. He looked at the soldiers watching from both sides and said to Liu Fu: "Butler Liu, this is not a place to speak, please speak inside."
Liu Yixuan took Liu Fu to his room, poured him a glass of water, and sat aside and asked, "Butler Liu, what happened at home? Why did my father ask you to come and deliver me a letter?"
Liu Fu took a sip of tea and said, "Young Master, I think you should know about the Jin soldiers' capture of Luoyang, right?"
Liu Yixuan nodded and said, "I know this. The consultation from the Ministry of War to King Kang is written. Why, the Jin soldiers have already reached Bianliang?"
Liu Fu said: "That's not the case. But after Luoyang fell, King Su was captured by Wanyan Zongwang again. After the Jin soldiers took Luoyang, they drove their troops to Xingyang. In order to think of their brothers and sisters, the emperor had transferred troops to fight with the Jin soldiers many times, but they were defeated by Wanyan Zongwang and the city of Xingyang.
Wanyan Zongwang tied King Su to the top of the city and torture him in various ways. He showed his people to the people in the city every day and sent people to negotiate with the court. The emperor could not bear to see King Su being humiliated, so he agreed to negotiate with the Jin people, wanting to redeem King Su with gold and silver. However, Wanyan Zongwang said that if he wanted to redeem King Su, it was not enough to just send some gold and silver. He also had to send a princess to marry the third prince of the Jin Kingdom to return King Su Qiansui."
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan understood what happened to the Western Front Army. Thinking about Liu Yixuan, he felt that King Ji was brave and unscheming, and he couldn't hold on for long. Unexpectedly, King Su was even more a rookie, and was tricked out of the city by the Jin people and became a prisoner.
"Butler Liu, I have heard of what you said, but how much does these things have to do with our family? You have been traveling hundreds of miles to tell me this, right?"
"Of course not, young master, do you know which princess the Jin people want to send to marry him?"
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan suddenly became worried, frowned, and asked weakly: "It's... it's Ling'er?"
Liu Fu had a serious expression and nodded for sure, "That's right!"
"What?" Liu Yixuan was shocked and jumped up from the chair with a "rubbing" and knocked over the teapot on the table with his sleeve. Then he shouted loudly: "Why? Ling'er is my wife who has not passed away. How can she marry a Jin country?"
He scolded again: "Is Zhao Huan sick? If he can't beat others, he will let his sister take the blame. Is he still a fucking man? Besides, he has so many sisters, why did he have to let Ling'er go? Ling'er was the empress dowager who ordered her to marry her, and the empress dowager would not agree? Also, my father, is my father just watching his future daughter-in-law marrying the bullshit prince of the Jin Kingdom? Ah?..." Liu Yixuan stared at Liu Fu viciously and asked Liu Fu repeatedly, making Liu Fu not know where to start explaining to him.
When Liu Fu saw Liu Yixuan furious, he quickly stood up and comforted him, "Young Master, don't be excited, don't say anything randomly!" He said again, "The master asked me to come, just to ask the young master to go back to Beijing to discuss this matter quickly! Yesterday, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom sent a letter of state, and the emperor discussed with the ministers in the palace. The master felt that this matter was of great importance, so he secretly sent me to come directly from the Secretariat's Office on horseback. The villain did not dare to delay the journey, and he ran a quick horse all night before he saw the young master."
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan realized that there was still a turning point in this matter. However, when he thought that Ling'er was going to be married to the prince of Jin, his heart was like a knife cut in his heart and he was not willing to stay for a moment. He hurriedly said to Liu Fu: "I'll pack up now, let's set off immediately!" As he said that, he packed up the clothes on the bed and planned to return to Beijing overnight.
Then Liu Fu said again: "Young Master, don't be anxious. The master told me that you are now a general under King Kang's tent. If you want to leave, you have to ask King Kang for instructions. It's not too late to leave the team after King Kang Qiansui agrees."
Liu Yixuan put down his clothes and thought that this was reasonable. After all, the first thing he had to do was to follow King Kang to fight. If he left now, he would have to say hello to King Kang, and then said, "Okay, I'll go and ask Prince Kang for instructions now."
When Liu Yixuan came to the conference hall, he saw King Kang chatting with the generals. Seeing Liu Yixuan's expression in a hurry, King Kang asked, "Young Master Liu, what happened in the mansion? Why are you so hasty?"
Liu Yixuan bowed to King Kang and said, "Report to the prince, my father sent the housekeeper from our mansion to deliver the letter, saying that there was an emergency at home and asked me to go back to discuss. Finally, I came here to ask the prince for a leave and let me go back to the capital."
"Emergency?" King Kang glanced at Liu Yixuan in a blink of an eye and continued to ask, "What urgent matters are there? Can you tell me?"
At this time, King Kang and many generals did not know that the Jin people asked the Qin zong to send Princess Yuling to marry. Liu Yixuan, in the attitude of "family scandals should not be made public", did not want to tell the truth, but when he thought that this matter would sooner or later be known to others, and there was no need to hide it from King Kang, he said to King Kang: "It is not to be hidden. According to the steward of the Mifu, the emperor will send Princess Ling'er to marry the Jin people. Prince, you know that Ling'er and I have a marriage contract. At this time, the emperor and the empress dowager will violate the original marriage contract. How can I be so embarrassed? I will go back to the capital to meet the emperor and persuade him not to marry the Jin people."
King Kang was also shocked when he heard this, because in King Kang's eyes, the Liu family and the Empress Dowager were closely related and the marriage between the two families was decided long ago. Why would the emperor turn against his original promise at this time? Besides, Ling'er is the younger sister of a compatriot of Qinzong. Even if Qinzong was forced to send a princess to marry the Jin people, he would not marry his own sister, right? Thinking of this, King Kang was also puzzled and asked:
"How could the emperor brother ask Ling'er to marry the Jin people? Did you hear it wrong? Ling'er sister is the queen mother's daughter. Even if my emperor brother wants, the queen mother would not agree?" He smiled and said, "The housekeeper of your family is also a 'who listens to the wind and rain'. Don't say that the Jin people don't know how many princesses there are in the Song Dynasty, even if they know, they won't know them all, right? Let my emperor brother choose a better-looking girl to be a princess, how can the Jin people distinguish? Look at what you are so anxious about!" After saying that, he smiled again.
When Liu Yixuan heard this, he saw that King Kang was so calm, and instead felt that what he said was reasonable. When he was talking to Liu Fu just now, he didn't ask clearly what was going on. Why did the Jin people call Ling'er and ask Ling'er to marry him? Besides, the empress dowager usually loves Ling'er so much that she will never be willing to marry her daughter to Jin. Thinking of this, Liu Yixuan hurriedly turned around and made a gesture to Liu Fu, who was standing quietly beside the door, and signaled him to come in.
Then Liu Fu entered the house and hurriedly paid homage to King Kang. Liu Yixuan asked Liu Fu: "Butler Liu, Prince Kang just asked me, have you heard my father's words wrong? Why did the people of Jin Dynasty insist that the emperor send Princess Ling'er to marry? Can't the emperor choose a palace maid pretending to be a princess to deal with it?"
In fact, Liu Fu had long wanted to explain this matter clearly to Liu Yixuan's original original, but just saw Liu Yixuan so excited in Liu Yixuan's room. He asked so many questions again. I don't know how to explain it to him clearly. Now that he has mentioned this matter to King Kang, he has no worries and said:
"Young Master, this is the tricky thing about this matter! That day, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom sent a letter of nationality, and asked the emperor to send Princess Yuling to marry. He also said that when the third prince of the Jin Kingdom was on the Song Dynasty, he had a relationship with the princess. He remembered the appearance of the princess. If the prince sent other princesses or palace maids to replace him, he would immediately dismember the Qiansu Five Horses of King Su and ordered the army to besiege Bianliang. On the contrary, if the two families could make a good relationship between Qin and Jin, the Jin soldiers would return King Su safely and safely, and promised to withdraw the troops of the Liao King's troops on the eastern front to the north of the Yellow River and no longer besieged Jeju. The prince and many ministers in the court had planned to negotiate peace with the Jin people after hearing the conditions of the Jin people. Although the master risked his life to persuade the prince, he was still helpless, so he asked the young man to inform the prince to go back."
When Liu Yixuan heard this, he was like a bolt from the blue. When he thought of the third prince of the Jin Dynasty who recognized Ling'er's face, he was even more upset. It was because at the Chongyang Temple Fair that day, Liu Yixuan took Ling'er to Yunhe Tower in the west of the city for dinner. During the meal, he met the third prince of the Jin Dynasty Wanyan You. At that time, Wanyan You stared at Ling'er with his eyes. Liu Yixuan was afraid that there would be some troubles, so he quickly took Ling'er to the private room for meals. But at that time Ling'er was dressed in casual clothes. How did Wanyan You know Ling'er's identity?
However, Liu Yixuan forgot that the one who accompanied Wanyan You to dinner was Zhu Dachang, the son of the Grand Tutor Zhu Fan. Although Zhu Dachang had no intention of harming Ling'er, he would inevitably let it go. Wanyan You learned that Ling'er was Qin Zong's sister, and she was born like a fairy, and had long been salivating. Today, as a military supervisor, he followed Wanyan Zongwang south and planned to capture King Su Zhao Shu alive. Only then did he use such despicable means to force Qin Zong to marry his own sister to him as his wife.
"God, isn't this going to kill me!"
After hearing Liu Fu's words, Liu Yixuan was almost in a state of collapse. He stomped his feet hard and regretted taking Ling'er out to the temple fair. Then his body staggered and almost fell to the ground. Liu Fu was so scared that he hurried over to support him. He comforted him: "Young Master, you have to hold on. Things may have a turnaround. You can tell Prince Kang again, let's go back to the capital quickly!"
King Kang was also angry when he heard this and said, "The methods of the Jin people are indeed despicable. At this time, he actually used King Su to threaten us. Alas! I pity my sister Ling'er, who is less than seventeen years old this year, and she actually wants to be a barbarian of the Jin Kingdom... Alas!" sighed continuously.
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan was even more furious and cursed: "You fucking embarrassed to say, if you brothers were not capable of being bullied by the Jin people like this? Even my sister couldn't protect her, so what else would she have to live? What a bunch of waste, I'm so dedicated to protecting you bastards, but in the end they would treat me like this! Damn you numb!" Liu Yixuan was like crazy and wanted to punch King Kang.
When Liu Fu and several generals below saw that Liu Yixuan reacted so strongly, they not only cursed King Kang, but also wanted to hit him, so they hurried over and hugged Liu Yixuan's body.
King Kang also jumped at his actions, pointed at Liu Yixuan and shouted loudly, "Liu Yixuan, what are you going to do? You dare to insult me and even attack me. I think you are brave!"
"I'll give you a numbness! I've been tolerant of you enough, you stupid pigs! You all day long know how to discuss peace and discuss peace, and you sister! Now, I finally got your sister into the hands of the Jinren. Damn, I'm going to go back to the capital now. I'm going to ask Qinzong and ask what else can this weak and incompetent Turtle Sun do!" As he said that, he was about to get up and leave the lobby.
Seeing that Liu Yixuan was rude, Liu Fu cursed King Kang and hurriedly kowtowed King Kang repeatedly and cried, "Your Majesty must not be angry with our son. Our son has been crazy since he was a child. Once he is stimulated, he will talk nonsense. When he was sick before, even our master dared to scold him. Don't take it to your heart!"
After hearing this, King Kang was half-believing and half-doubted, but Liu Yixuan's reaction just now really scared King Kang. On weekdays, Liu Yixuan is also polite and polite. He rarely quarrels with others. Why do he go crazy and look like a wild dog? Then he asked softly: "Your young master really has this crazy disease?"
Liu Fu nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, when he was sick, his relatives refused to recognize him. Our master had to tie him up to cure him. This time, when he heard that the prince married the Jin man, he was furious and offended the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him."
Only then did King Kang believe Liu Fu's words, and he didn't have much affection for Liu Yixuan. Seeing that he was going to take leave to return to Beijing, he waved to Liu Fu and said, "Okay, okay, I know, don't kneel down, hurry up and accompany your young master to see a doctor. I can't keep him here!"
Liu Fu was quick to make up a set of lies that Liu Yixuan was crazy, and then he fooled him into the crime of insulting the prince. When he heard that King Kang allowed the master and servant to return to Beijing, he hurriedly stood up to thank him, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and went straight to Liu Yixuan's room to look for him.
