Shen Tu Gang owed to Liu Xiu, and Zhengse said, "The lord has received His Majesty's edict. ”

Liu Xiu sighed and asked, "Then why does Gong Kui still delay acting according to my will?" ”

Shen Tugang said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, it's not that the lord doesn't obey the holy order, but that he can't do it, and it's difficult to obey his fate!" ”

Liu Xiu asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

Shen Tugang said: "Lu Fang has always been eyeing Xiliang, once the lord sends troops to attack Shudi, Lu Fang will definitely take advantage of the weakness, and Xiliang will be empty at that time, and it will be difficult to resist a strong enemy." ”

Liu Xiu showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and said: "I heard that Gongsun Shu once sent a messenger to send a seal ribbon to Duke Kui, and made Duke Kui the great Sikong and Fu'an King, I still think that Duke Kui is moved!" ”

Shen Tugang's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing!" ”

Liu Xiu asked puzzledly: "What does Shentu mean by holding the book that Gongsun Shu has never sent an official seal and a princely seal to Duke Kui?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what Weichen meant."

Shen Tugang said: "Your Majesty, the lord has fought with Gongsun Shu many times, no matter what conditions Gongsun Shu proposes, the lord will never bow down to Gongsun Shu, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

What Shen Tugang said was the truth, Kui Huan had indeed fought several battles with Gongsun Shu.

One of the most intense was when Lü Kun made an incident in Chencang, colluded with Gongsun Shu, and raised tens of thousands of troops to invade Sanfu, and it was Feng Yi who guarded Sanfu at that time.

Feng Yi's troops are not many, and in the face of tens of thousands of thieves, they seem to be lonely and powerless.

Feng Yi didn't have time to ask Luoyang for help, so he gave Kui Huan a legend nearby, and after Kui Huan learned of this, he immediately sent his general Yang Guang to lead tens of thousands of troops to help Sanfu.

In this battle, the Kui Huan army was the main force, Feng Yi became an auxiliary instead, and Yang Guang, who was brave and good at fighting, fought in the Sanfu area, defeated the Lu Kun army, and supported the Gongsun Shu army of Lu Kun, and expelled all the thief troops who invaded the Sanfu area.

Speaking of which, Kui Huan also helped the Luoyang Imperial Court a lot, before dealing with the Red Mei Army, and then expelling Lu Kun and Gongsun Shu, the Luoyang Imperial Court was able to defeat the Red Eyebrows, Kui Huan was indispensable, the Luoyang Imperial Court was able to hold Sanfu, and did not let Gongsun Shu's power spread out of Shu, and Kui Huan was also indispensable.

After listening to Shen Tugang's words, Liu Xiuxin nodded with feeling, and said, "Duke Kui is in the Han family, and he has indeed made great contributions!" Kui Gong is in Xiliang, the south rejects Gongsun Shu, the north Yuqiang Hu, and the east arrives at Lu Fang, which can be described as a great contribution! ”

Shen Tu Gang hurriedly bowed forward and saluted, and said, "Weichen Acting Lord Thank Your Majesty for your praise!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Gongsun Shu is the emperor in Shu, it is really a big trouble for me, after Shen Tu returns to Liangzhou with the book, he can convey my meaning to Duke Kui." ”

Shen Tu Gang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, after Weichen goes back, he will definitely convey His Majesty's intentions to the lord." ”

Liu Xiu said: "I have invited Duke Kui to enter the court as an official five times, but Duke Kui has refused, I have been friends with Duke Kui for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, I hope that Duke Kui can come to Luoyang and have a good time with me." ”

Shen Tu Gang said with a smile: "Wei Chen will definitely convey His Majesty's invitation to the lord. ”

Although Kui Huan has helped Liu Xiu a lot, Liu Xiu is still very uneasy about Kui Huan.

Since Kui Huan surrendered to Liu Xiu, he has never been to Luoyang once, very simply, he didn't dare to come, for fear that he wouldn't be able to go back after arriving in Luoyang.

He was jealous of Liu Xiu, he didn't dare to go to Luoyang, and Liu Xiu's jealousy of him became deeper and deeper.

Even if he senses that Kui Huan may be half-hearted to himself, Liu Xiu can't help Kui Huan now, after all, thieves like Gongsun Shu, Lu Fang, Zhang Bu, Dong Xuan, etc., their threat is far greater than that of Kui Huan, even if Liu Xiu wants to deal with Kui Huan, their order must be ranked after these people.

These Liu Xiu and the hustle and bustle messenger Shen Tugang met and talked very happily, and Shen Tugang's attitude towards Liu Xiu was also very respectful and respectful.

But Liu Xiu was not satisfied with the meeting, because it did not talk about the substance at all.

He hoped that Kui Huan would send troops to Shu to attack Gongsun Shu, and Shen Tu Gang said that he would convey the matter to Kui Huan; Liu Xiu hoped that Kui Huan could take up a post in Luoyang, and Shen Tugang said that he would convey the matter to Kui Huan; Liu Xiu hoped that even if Kui Huan was unwilling to serve in Luoyang, even if you came over and we would meet, Shen Tugang still said that he would convey the matter to Kui Huan.

After saying a lot, Shen Tugang couldn't decide anything, he couldn't make a decision on anything, everything had to be returned to Liangzhou and conveyed to Kui Huan.

This made Liu Xiu clearly realize that Kui Huan sent a messenger just to appease himself, showing that he Kui Huan did not have a different heart for him.

In this regard, Liu Xiu scoffed, if you have no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of, and what are you worried about?

In the past, in Liu Xiu's mind, Kui Huan could be classified into his own camp.

But after Kui Huan sent Shen Tugang to Luoyang, Liu Xiu drew a question mark on Kui Huan's head.

Now Liu Xiu is not going to put Kui Huan into the hostile camp, but it is difficult for him to treat Kui Huan as his own anymore.

The next day, Liu Xiu summoned Lai She and asked him to return to Liangzhou with Shen Tugang.

The relationship between Lai Huan and Kui Huan is particularly good, the two met in Chang'an, and later Kui Huan returned to Liangzhou, and Lai Huan defected to Liu Jia.

Later, Lai She followed Liu Jia to Liu Xiu, and Lai She was named Taizhong Doctor and belonged to Guangluxun.

After seeing Laixi, Liu Xiu said: "I remember that Dr. Lai's friendship with Kui Huan is irreversible. ”

Lai Xi hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Weichen and Kui Gong met in Chang'an, and over the years, there have been correspondence. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "In a few days, Shen Tu is going to return to Xiliang, and you will go to Xiliang with him." ”

Lai Xi was stunned, but he didn't dare to ask more, and said to Liu Xiu: "Weichen obeys." ”

"When you arrive in Xiliang, after seeing Kui Huan, you can explain to him that as long as Kui Huan is willing to come to Luoyang as an official, I can canonize him as Lianghou and let him stay as the general of Xizhou."

Liu Xiu said.

Lai She's heart was shocked, Lianghou! Could it be that Your Majesty wants to seal the entire Liangzhou to Kui?

He changed color and said: "Your Majesty, this ......" Liu Xiu said: "On this trip, the doctor only needs to convey my words to Kui Huan in their original form." ”

Lai She took a deep breath, bowed forward, and said, "Wechen obeys." ”

Liu Xiu didn't say anything more, waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

"Wechen retires!"

After leaving, Liu Xiu's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Canonizing Kui Huan as Lianghou, this is already the biggest promise he can give, if Kui Huan still refuses to accept it, it can only show that he has indeed given birth to two hearts for himself.

When Liu Xiu was pondering, Zhang Kun walked into the main hall, came to Liu Xiu's approach, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is invited." ”

He was now worried about the hustle and bustle, and casually asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Kun said cautiously: "I heard from the palace lady of Changqiu Palace that the second prince is sick. ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then stood up, raised his head and said, "Go!" Go to Changqiu Palace! ”

When Liu Xiu arrived at Changqiu Palace, there were many palace maids and chamberlains kneeling in the courtyard, and there were also grandmothers and palace maids hurrying in and out.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu frowned secretly and asked, "What's going on?" ”

When people looked back and saw that His Majesty was coming, they bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty! ”

A grandmother trotted to Liu Xiu, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the second prince suddenly contracted a vicious disease, fever and vomiting, it must be that they failed to take care of the second prince, so the second prince contracted this vicious disease!" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he waved his hand to the palace maid and the chamberlain who knelt down, and said, "Get up!" ”

People looked at the grandmother, and they didn't dare to get up one by one.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I asked you to get up, didn't you hear?" ”

The grandmother hurriedly said, "What are you still doing in a daze?"

Still not up yet?

Don't get in the way of His Majesty's eyes here! ”

After listening to Mama's words, the palace maids and chamberlains present got up one after another, shrunk their necks one by one, held their shoulders, and retreated one after another.

Liu Xiu glanced at the grandmother, this grandmother he knew, she was the nurse of Shengtong, she followed Shengtong to the Zhending Palace, and later followed Shengtong into the palace.

Liu Xiu didn't pay much attention to her before, but now it seems that in Changqiu Palace, what she said as a son of heaven is not as effective as her as a grandmother.

Liu Xiu shook his head secretly and walked inside.

Mama trotted behind Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu asked, "How is Fu'er's condition?"

Can you ask for a doctor? ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Mama hurriedly said: "Early this morning, the second prince couldn't eat, and at noon, he had a fever and vomited, and the imperial doctor was in the palace and was treating the second prince." ”

Liu Xiu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and stepped into the main hall.

The surrounding palace maids knelt on the ground one after another.

Liu Xiu ignored it and strode into the inner room.

At this time, Guo Shengtong was wandering back and forth anxiously in the inner room, and an imperial doctor was in front of the bed to check Liu Fu's pulse.

Liu Fu had just been born not long ago, just a baby in swaddling clothes, and at this time he was lying on the small bed, his face pale.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Guo Shengtong's eyes turned red, and he was about to speak, Liu Xiu waved his hand to her, and pointed to the imperial doctor, signaling her not to speak, not to affect the imperial doctor's diagnosis.

Guo Shengtong's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, Liu Xiu stepped forward, held her hand, and pinched the back of her hand, signaling her to rest assured, Fu'er would be fine.

Guo Shengtong's tears were like short-term pearls, falling ticking, hugging Liu Xiu's waist and snuggling into his arms, but his eyes kept looking at the young son on the small bed.

After a while, the imperial doctor finally finished taking Liu Fu's pulse, he pulled Liu Fu's sleeve down, and put his little arm into the quilt, then got up, looked back, and found that His Majesty didn't know when it arrived, he hurriedly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

"Hurry up, please!"

Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly, helped the imperial doctor up, and asked, "Imperial Doctor Li, how is Fu'er's condition?" ”

The imperial doctor Zhengse said: "Now that the solar terms are getting cooler, the second prince is suffering from the wind evil this time, Weichen prescribes a pair of decoctions, and after the second prince takes it, he can reduce the fever!" ”

Hearing the words of the imperial doctor, Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Fu's body has always been very healthy, he is also white and fat, no disease and no disaster, and he is not troublesome, he is happy to see anyone, grinning with a small mouth that has not yet grown teeth, he is very cute, and even when he removes jaundice, he is smoother than other babies.

This is the first time Liu Fu has been infected, and Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong are naturally anxious.

Guo Shengtong came to the small bed, knelt on the ground, gently stroked his little face, and said: "Fu'er is not uncomfortable, it will not be uncomfortable after drinking the medicine for a while......" Looking at Guo Shengtong, who was whispering softly and comforting his young son, Liu Xiu's heart was also soft, he stepped forward, patted Guo Shengtong's shoulder, and said softly: "Shengtong don't worry, Fu'er is just suffering from a minor illness." ”

Guo Shengtong looked at the sleeping child, choked up and said: "Fu'er is so young and can't speak, even if it's uncomfortable, he ...... He couldn't say it either......" she whimpered in.

Liu Xiu sat down beside her and hugged Guo Shengtong into his arms.

At this time, the grandmother stepped forward and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the queen, the servant has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
