Liu Xiu didn't expect Geng Shu to say this, he was quite surprised, and Geng Yi didn't expect that his brother would suddenly come up with such a sentence.

He frowned slightly, and looked at Geng Shu coldly, what do you mean by that?

Do you want to say, Your Majesty has made a mistake in sealing your Hou?

Geng Yi said in a deep voice: "Geng Shu, are you drunk without drinking?" ”

Liu Xiule waved his hand to Geng Yi and asked Geng Shu, "Why did Zhong Yuan say this?" ”

Geng Shu Zhengse said: "The reason why Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun returned to the imperial court is not the work of the Western Expeditionary Army, let alone Geng Shu's work, but His Majesty's virtue." ”

Geng Yi on the other side almost laughed, ah, it turns out that you deserve it, you are waiting here, this high hat is worn, it is really ...... Geng Yi secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, it seems that his second brother has really grown up, and he talks about the scene in a set.

Liu Xiu was stunned, then laughed, raised his hand and nodded at Geng Shu, and said: "Zhong Yuan is very good at fighting, and this way of touting is also unacceptable!" Ha ha! ”

Actually, Liu Xiu doesn't like people who are good at flattery and flattery, of course, this is also a scorer.

Like Wu Han, Deng Yu, Zhu Fu and others touting him, he is very useful, very simple, because Wu Han and they are capable, even if Liu Xiu knows in his heart that they are touting themselves, he will involuntarily flutter.

The same principle can also be applied to Geng Shu, Geng Shu is also capable, and his praise will also make Liu Xiu very useful.

Therefore, if someone who is not capable of praising Liu Xiu will make him feel disgusted, on the contrary, someone who is capable will make him very happy.

Seeing Liu Xiu laughing, thinking that Liu Xiu was dissatisfied with his words, Geng Shu said with a straight face: "Your Majesty...... Gongzi, eight counties in Anding, six counties in the north, and ten counties in Shangjun, a total of twenty-four counties, why can they unanimously agree to submit to the imperial court, just because they are afraid of the western expeditionary army?

Far from it! If it weren't for the fact that they had already revered and respected the prince in their hearts, they would never surrender to the imperial court because of the passing of the Western Expeditionary Army. ”

Geng Shu's words are somewhat exaggerated, the three counties and the twenty-four counties are submissive, and a considerable number of them are following the trend, and they may not be sincerely willing to submit to Luoyang.

However, it is also true that most counties are willing to submit to Luoyang, and it is not difficult to see that Liu Xiu's prestige and the prestige of the Luoyang court are indeed far-reaching.

Geng Shu's words really made Liu Xiu a little fluttery, he laughed heartily, picked up the wine glass, and said: "Come on, come on, a toast to our army to win the three counties!" ”

"!"

The two brothers, Geng Yi and Geng Shu, picked up the wine glass, saluted Liu Xiu's side, and drank the wine in the cup with Liu Xiu.

Putting down the cup, Luo You immediately poured wine next to him, and Liu Xiu said with a smile: "The submission of Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun will make Sanfu in the north, and there will be no direct threat, and the safety of Sanfu has been greatly improved." ”

Feng Yi led the Western Expeditionary Army and subdued the three counties of Anding, Beidi, and Shangjun in one go, which was actually a great credit, but Feng Yi's luck was too bad and he was just in time for Liu Xiu's defeat in Hanyang.

Liu Xiu's tone had no place to spill, but it was all sprinkled on Feng Yi, causing Feng Yi to make great contributions and not receive any reward.

It's just that later, Feng Yi won two victories in Wangxian and Anding, and Liu Xiu gave Feng Yi two rounds of rewards in a row, which can be regarded as making up for the rewards owed to Feng Yi before.

Liu Xiu changed his words and asked: "Gongsun subdued the three counties, made great contributions, and returned to Chang'an, not only was he not rewarded, but he was also blamed by me, is Gongsun displeased?" ”

Geng Shu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... Childe was too worried, and the general was not displeased, but often regretted that he failed to retreat Sanfu in time and failed to conquer Hanyang with Childe. ”

Liu Xiu sighed, nodded, and said meaningfully: "Gongsun is a man, he has always been lenient, he has been wronged, he does not blame others, but blames himself, in terms of generosity, I am far inferior to Gongsun!" ”

Geng Yi and Geng Shu were startled and hurriedly bowed.

Liu Xiu sighed: "When Gongsun went to Hebei from me, Feng's mother said: 'You are loyal today, and you are filial.

I think I think I have no inner thoughts.

And he died.

Every time I think about this, my heart is sad. ”

In order not to let Feng Yi have worries, Feng's mother committed suicide, which was widely spread at the time.

Geng Yi and Geng Shu have both heard this allusion, and now when Liu Xiu mentions it, the two are also related.

Liu Xiu said again: "Gongsun and I, both monarchs and ministers, are also siblings, the defeat of Hanyang, I am angry with Gongsun, I really shouldn't be." ”

Liu Xiu is a little good, he can recognize his mistakes, and he has the courage to admit his mistakes, which is the mind that the Son of Heaven should have.

Geng Yi picked up the wine glass and said, "Childe, this glass of wine, we should pay tribute to our grandson!" ”

Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass and said, "Well said! We respect our grandson! ”

As he spoke, he tilted his head and drank the wine from his glass.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little dignified, Liu Xiu looked at Geng Shu and said with a smile: "Zhong Yuan has won many battles against the Huns, among the ministers of my Han family, if you want to restrain the Huns, it must be Zhong Yuan!" ”

Geng Shu hurriedly bowed his body and said: "Weichen grew up in Shanggu, often came into contact with the Huns, and knew the characteristics of the Huns, so that he could win many battles against the Huns!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded again and again, and said: "In the future, after pacifying Kui Huan and Gongsun Shu, Lu Fang will become a confidant of the imperial court, and at that time, it is inevitable that he will have to rely on Zhong Yuan." ”

"Your Majesty is tormented by the ministers."

Liu Xiu whispered a few words to Luo You beside him.

Luo You responded, stood up, and walked out.

Not long after, a shopkeeper came in, and brought in several musicians and more than a dozen young and beautiful women.

The musicians put their instruments aside, some striking, some playing, some blowing, and the dancers danced in the box.

Geng Yi and Geng Shu are in the army all the year round, and it is rare to be able to enjoy singing and dancing, and the brothers are applauding from time to time while drinking.

Liu Xiu also smiled with a smile on his face, and exchanged cups with Geng Yi and Geng Shu.

was drinking on Xing's head, Liu Xiu suddenly heard the sound of the piano coming from outside the box.

The sound of the piano is subdued and frustrated, sometimes high and sometimes low, and the morale is majestic, like a golden iron horse, and there is a faint atmosphere of slaughter.

Geng Yi and Geng Shu also heard the sound of the piano outside, and looked at Liu Xiu in unison.

Liu Xiu waved his hand to the musicians, and the music in the box soon stopped, and the dancers also bowed and stepped aside.

There was no music in the box, and the sound of the piano outside was clearer.

Liu Xiu listened to it for a while and said: ""Nie Zheng's Assassination of Han Puppet Song". ”

"Nie Zheng's Assassination of Han Puppet Song" is also the famous "Guangling San", which is the name of "Guangling San" in ancient times.

As the name suggests, the protagonist of this song is Nie Zheng, one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, describing the story of Nie Zhen avenging his father and assassinating Xia Tiao.

Of course, this story is made up, and the reason why Nie Zheng assassinated Xia Ti was not to avenge his father, but out of a friend's commission.

However, Nie Zheng was indeed a ruthless man, single-handedly, and went straight to the Xia Ti Mansion, at that time Xia Ti was the prime minister of South Korea, and there were many guards in the house.

Nie Zheng alone killed dozens of guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion in a row, and finally stabbed Xia Ti to death in the mansion, and then cut his face and pierced his eyes (he was disfigured in order not to affect his family), and committed suicide.

"Guangling San" is a long song, and there are many small tracks in it, such as "Anger", "Chong Guan", "Thorn Han" and so on.

The piano song outside is playing "Thorn Han", which is also the climax of the whole track.

This section especially tests the skills of the pianist, not only to play Nie Zheng is heroic and brave, but also to play the danger and fierceness of the battle against Jin Ge.

Liu Xiu was no stranger to Guanglingsan, and after listening for a while, he could conclude that the pianist was a master.

He stood up, walked out, opened the door of the box, and looked out.

The sound of the piano came from the pavilion in the center of the garden, blocked by trees, Liu Xiu couldn't see clearly, and in the haze he could see a man in white sitting in the pavilion stroking the qin.

At this time, the doors of several other boxes were also opened, and the guests of each box seemed to be attracted by the sound of the piano and walked out one after another.

Liu Xiu glanced left and right, and then walked into the garden.

Geng Yi and Geng Shu hurriedly followed, and the two followed Liu Xiu into the garden together, and when they looked up, it turned out that there was a woman in white sitting in the pavilion.

Looking at her age, she looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a green coat with a layer of white veil on the outside, and at a glance, she seemed to be wearing a white dress.

Looking at the face, the eyebrows are beautiful, the nose is high, the lips are plump, and the color is as smooth as jade.

The jade fingers are like green onions, caressing the silver strings, and the sound of the piano is like mercury pouring on the ground, which is endlessly evocative.

Looking at the young and beautiful woman who stroked the qin, Geng Yi and Geng Shu couldn't help but exclaim: "What a wonderful person! ”

This woman is not only beautiful, one in a million, but also has outstanding piano skills, and she has been around the beam for three days.

Not to mention that Geng Yi and Geng Shu were attracted to this woman, even Liu Xiu's eyes fell on her and did not look away for a long time.

Just when Liu Xiu was listening to and watching, suddenly, there was a burst of applause not far away.

This sudden applause was particularly abrupt, and it also destroyed the harmony of the piano sound, and the ten fingers of the white gauze woman straightened out and gently brushed on the silver strings.

Liu Xiu frowned, looking for prestige.

I saw a young man in his twenties, dressed gorgeously, walking out of the crowd, slapping his face and slapping while walking towards the pavilion, and said with a smile: "This young lady has good piano skills, I don't know the name of the young lady?" ”

The woman in the white veil glanced at him, didn't finish anything, stood up, turned and walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing this, the young man hurriedly chased after him, came to the woman's approach, reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the woman in white gauze, and said with a hippie smile: "Miss, don't be in a hurry to leave! You haven't even told me what your name is! Come on, come on, come to the box, you play a song for me alone! ”

As he spoke, he pulled the woman in white yarn to go to the box, and the woman in white yarn blushed, flicked her sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Son, please respect yourself!" ”

"What?

Don't like the lord to have no money? ”

As he spoke, the young man pulled down the money bag hanging from his waist, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured it outward, with a bang, and more than a dozen golden beans rolled down on the stone table.

The young man pouted to the golden bean Nunu on the stone table and asked, "Are these enough for you to play a song for your master?" ”

"It's better to be alone than to be happy! This young lady's piano skills could have been listened to by everyone, but wouldn't it be boring if you had to enjoy it alone? ”

With the words, Liu Xiu walked into the pavilion with his hands behind his back, and Geng Yi and Geng Shu also followed.

Seeing someone inserting a bar, the young man looked displeased, turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, and his heart was even more angry.

Regardless of whether Liu Xiu is the Son of Heaven or not, his appearance is excellent, his figure is tall, because he is proficient in martial arts, he can hardly find fat on his body, looking at his face, dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips like a sword, bright eyes, blazing spirit, when looking at people, there is a sense of authority without anger, which naturally makes people feel a pressure.

This is the coercion of the superiors, and it is not deliberately shown.

If Liu Xiu's appearance was not good, the young man might not be angry, but seeing that the other party's appearance completely compared to himself, he suddenly felt jealous in his heart, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said with a sneer: "Which fucking green onion are you, dare to ...... with Lao Tzu like this" Before he could speak, Geng Yi and Geng Shu behind Liu Xiu changed color together, and the two of them shouted almost in unison: "Presumptuous!" ”

As he spoke, Geng Shu took the lead in rushing forward and slapped the young man on the cheek.

There was a crisp sound in the ear chakra, and the young man's body staggered out three or four steps sideways, and he couldn't stand enough, and sat on the ground.
