MTL - Happiness Consist in Contentment-v16 Chapter 10
After walking on the road for four months, Liu Zhi and his party arrived in northern Xinjiang.
Now that she has become the heir to the Liu family's head family, Liu Fang did not hide her manpower and previous plans. She directly took her family to a village not far from the exiled prisoners, and settled down separately.
Liu Fang has long had people come here to buy a large piece of wasteland and build a row of courtyards.
We can no longer live like Kyoto and Huicheng. They all live separately. Fang and Liu Zhi live in the middle courtyard. On both sides are Liu Fang, Liu Pu's family, then Liu Ai's family, and Liu's family. Rui, then Liu Jie's family, Liu Mao's family, and finally Liu Jing and his fiancee.
After the family was settled, Liu Fang asked people to go around the entire field belonging to the Liu family, and the house began to build walls.
The northern border is desolate, and even the frontier cities are in disrepair for a long time and look very bleak. The people here, exiled prisoners, want to live safely, not by themselves, but by luck.
The Mongolian tribes outside the frontier have been harassing the frontier all the year round, so that the people here will never be able to live in peace. In order to survive, many villages will build defensive walls like Liu Fang and the others.
It's just that their walls are only built around the houses in one village, but Liu Fang's walls directly enclose all the wasteland bought under his name.
Liu Fang rode a horse and looked at the vast wilderness in the northern Xinjiang, with an unprecedented joy in his heart.
Finally, they left that suffocating place, which is great!
...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another five years.
This year, Liu Fangliu, it was about time for her to get married. Liujiafang was extraordinarily lively on this day.
That year, they came to Northern Xinjiang, and after building the wall, they hung a plaque of Liu Jiafang directly on the gatehouse.
Now that five years have passed, Liu Zhi's exile period has expired, and they can actually return to the capital.
However, Liu Fang still needs to finish the affairs on the northern side before she can take her family away.
Five years is enough for Liu Fang to do a lot of things and make a lot of preparations. And all of this will change the life of the Liu family after entering Beijing, and it will also change the precarious situation of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Liu Fang sat in the study and listened to everyone's report to her. After listening to her, she nodded slightly and said, "Very well, I have given you a detailed reply about what you should do in the next five years. I will send someone to deliver the letter after I return to Beijing."
"Yes, master."
Everyone stood up and saluted, and then left the study. Mo He changed a cup of tea for Liu Fang and said slowly, "Master, the school in Kyoto is sending a letter. The graduates of this year's Class A class have entered each school, and the arrangements are made."
Liu Fang nodded, "Well, very good. What about Langer and the others?"
"Eldest son, their studies are very good, and there is no delay."
"Well, on the way back to Beijing, we must ensure that their studies are not abandoned."
"Yes, Master, don't worry."
Since Liu Fang became the heir to the Liu family, the education of Liu Lang and others has also been arranged by her. Liu Fang took great pains to find a master with outstanding knowledge and character among the exiled prisoners to teach them and impart enough knowledge to them.
Of course, there is more than one master, and the students are not only Liu Lang and the others, there are many more orphans, refugees and so on.
In the past five years, there have been natural disasters everywhere in Dawei. In addition to the chaos in the court, the situation is turbulent, so that the people below have a hard time. Liu Fang asked people to take in these refugees as much as possible in various places and sent them to northern Xinjiang. , they were sent directly to the school, and the older ones became servants of the Liu family.
In short, Liu Fang gave them a home to live in peace in this turbulent and troubled world.
This kind of action has made her more and more staff, and more and more things can be done, but it has formed a virtuous circle.
...
Liu Fang's wedding ceremony was solemn and lively. Everyone in Liu's family came to participate in the wedding ceremony. Watching Liu Fang complete the ceremony of coming of age little by little, they felt very happy.
Liu Zhi looked at the little daughter kneeling in front of him, both proud and full of emotion.
He blushed slightly and said to Liu Fang with a smile, "Etiquette is ready, the month is auspicious, the word Er and the word Kong Jia are announced, and the lady is You Yi, it is suitable for you, and you will be protected forever, called Shao Jie."
Liu Fang bowed and said, "Although Shaojie is not sensitive, he dare not come here at night."
In this way, the wedding ceremony is over.
Liu Fang is officially an adult, which means that she can recruit her husband to marry.
However, now, they need to go back to Beijing first.
After the wedding ceremony, when Liu Fang has dealt with everything, Liu Zhi and others have packed their bags and can set off.
Liu Fang and Liu Zhi, Mrs. Fang sat in a carriage, the father and daughter were playing chess, Mrs. Fang sat and watched.
Liu Zhi asked Liu Fang at the same time, "Is everything arranged?"
Liu Fang nodded, "Yes, father, everything has been arranged."
Say
After all, she picked up the white **** and made a move.
Liu Zhi nodded slightly, and he looked at Liu Fang, who was already an adult, with satisfaction, and said, "Does Shaojie have a husband-in-law in mind?"
Liu Fang: …
Sometimes, she really hates the age of marriage in ancient times. Is it too early?
She smiled slightly and said, "Father, I just got married, you plan to retire and pass the throne?"
Liu Zhi glared at her and said angrily, "As a father, I'm just afraid of your young girl's temperament and don't know how to select people."
The husband-in-law who will be in charge of the family in the future, of course, has to choose carefully.
In the past five years, although he had to work as a prisoner in exile, Liu Zhi had probably let go of the burden in his heart. Instead, his health became better and he was full of vigor and rosy face.
Liu Fang smiled helplessly and said, "Father, don't worry, how busy your daughter has been these years, it's not like you don't know. You and your mother can make decisions about the husband-in-law, and your daughter will follow your arrangements. ?"
Only then did Liu Zhi nod his head in satisfaction, but he still said, "Even so, you have to be happy yourself. Don't worry, for your father and your mother, you will definitely choose a husband-in-law for you, and you will not be wronged. ."
Liu Fang smiled and said nothing, but she was relieved. Liu Zhi and Fang Shi would definitely choose a husband for her, just like Liu Rui.
Liu Rui chose her husband after she arrived in Northern Xinjiang. Her husband was also from a large family in Northern Xinjiang, but he was the youngest son of the direct branch. He could have gone back to Beijing with the Liu family. The family can go back to their hometown in Huicheng.
If it weren't for the crime and punishment files of the Ministry of Justice, Liu Fang actually thought that it would be better to go directly to Huicheng's hometown, so as not to have to go to the capital and have to make a toss.
However, this is the law of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is impossible for people like Liu Zhi not to obey. She can only follow his wishes and the family will return to the capital first.
Talking and laughing along the way, while enjoying the scenery and playing, I was also relaxed and at ease, without the slightest sense of urgency that a prisoner would return to Beijing to clear his files.
People from all walks of life in Kyoto have also successively received news that the Liu family and his party have returned to Beijing, and a new round of battle has kicked off. They are far away from the court, but now, there are still people who want to pull them back into it, and they cannot be allowed to retreat.
This may be fate, and no one can escape such a fate.
...
Kyoto Bunken Residence
Liang Sheng sat in the corridor, looking at the flowers and trees in the yard,
Even though it is already autumn, and Kyoto is getting colder, the splendid flowers and evergreen trees are still blooming.
He listened to the voice of Yuan Wei walking behind him, and sighed, "Speaking of which, this garden took a lot of your time."
The winter in Kyoto has always come early. Even if it is only the beginning of July, it is already cold and cold, and most of the flowers and trees have begun to wither. Only this garden, which draws the hot spring water from the mountains to the ground, can guarantee the flowers and trees of the entire garden. Flowers bloom all year round and the trees are evergreen.
Yuan Wei stood beside him and said lightly, "You invited me to come here today, didn't you come to discuss the scenery of this garden?"
Liang Sheng smiled lightly, "It really isn't."
In the past five years, the two of them have done a lot of things in order to push Emperor Wei Cheng out of power.
It's funny to say, originally Wei Chengdi was under the protection of Liu Zhi, he was so stupid, but unexpectedly, when they drove Liu Zhi out of the capital, they beat this stupid Wei Chengdi to wake up. , suddenly became wiser.
Over the years, he, the young emperor, has often used his innocent face to sow discord in the courtroom. At first, Liang Sheng and Yuan Wei thought it was a mistake, but Wei Chengdi was young. , so I couldn't keep my mouth shut, I would say anything in front of the court ministers, but then slowly, they realized that something was wrong.
The battle in the court became more and more fierce, while Emperor Wei Cheng's throne became more and more stable, and their respective powers were weakening, but Emperor Wei Cheng gradually gained prestige in the triennial appointment of meritocracy. , and also won over a group of young officials.
Under such a situation, the two auxiliary princes could not sit still, and gradually began to fight within each other. So much so that now Yuan Wei and Liang Sheng are extremely overwhelmed, and they haven't had time to get together for a long time to discuss the follow-up arrangement.
Because everything has been completely disrupted by Wei Chengdi, a young monarch who looks stupid but is actually unpredictable, making them all unable to start, and they don't know how to solve the current chaos.
And today, Liang Sheng actually sent a letter to Yuan Wei, asking him to come and talk, and Yuan Wei guessed that he must have found a way to solve the chaos.
"Tell me, what is it that makes you so anxious to see me?"
"The Liu family has returned to Beijing."
Yuan Wei looked at Liang Sheng lightly, "The Liu family?"
Liang Sheng smiled slightly, "Of course."
☆、Other types are content and happy to wear
Yuan Wei looked at Liang Sheng's profile and said lightly, "Can you find out who was responsible for what happened six years ago?"
Liang Sheng smiled lightly and said, "Originally, I didn't know and couldn't guess, but now, I have a bold guess."
Yuan Wei's eyes flashed, "Oh, who is it?"
Liang Sheng: "Liu family's third wife, Liu Shaojie, the current heir of the Liu family's head family."
Yuan Wei smiled lightly, "I thought you couldn't guess it."
However, Liang Sheng lost his smile, and said solemnly and indifferently, "I couldn't have guessed it at first, and I didn't think about it. But later I still felt that the Liu family was more likely to do it, so people paid attention to the movement of the Liu family. ."
After speaking, he sighed and said slowly, "Northern Xinjiang is really a treasure land! It was originally barren and difficult, and it has to be harassed again and again by the Mongolian tribes every year. But since the Liu family arrived in the northern Xinjiang, After that, he has not been taken advantage of by the Mengtar tribe for so many years, and even quietly expanded the territory without being noticed by the court people.
To be honest, I was a little surprised. If it wasn't for the movement of the Liu family that was discovered elsewhere in recent years, I really don't know, the Liu family has now held the entire northern Xinjiang in their hands. This is nearly one-third of Great Wei's territory! You and I both underestimated the Liu family, and underestimated the youngest female head of the Liu family. "
Yuan Wei listened to Liang Sheng's rare sigh, smiled, sat leisurely beside him, and said lightly, "So, are you planning to use the Liu family as a breakout?"
Liang Sheng smiled slightly, turned to look at him, and said, "Aren't you?"
Yuan Wei nodded with a smile, "Indeed. The Liu family is a good breakout."
Although Liu Zhi has been exiled for five years, to be honest, he is still the teacher of the emperor. As a woman of a big family of the same age as Emperor Wei Cheng, Liu Fang naturally has an identity that can be used by them.
Furthermore, instead of letting Emperor Wei Cheng get a more powerful woman as the queen, the daughter of the Liu family from the Qingliu faction is more suitable.
As a result, no matter how powerful the Liu family is, they still care about the world and the people after all.
Second, when Liu Fang entered the palace, it would be equivalent to directly cutting off the future prosperity of the Liu family. Even if they would be honored for a while because of Liu Fang, they would definitely decline rapidly after that.
Moreover, after a woman enters the palace, what she thinks and thinks is only the emperor's favor, and the emperor's heir inherits it. At that time, only the palace
The fights in the middle were enough to distract the female head of the Liu family's hopeful family, and she simply didn't have the time and energy to think more.
And this makes it possible for them to act from it.
Yuan Wei is clear, Liang Sheng is also clear.
Liang Sheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty is about to reach the crown. Speaking of which, His Majesty's appearance is truly unparalleled in the world, rare in the world."
Yuan Wei also smiled, "It's true."
Liang Sheng said leisurely, "Perhaps, there is no need for you and me to do anything more. The third lady of the Liu family will naturally be ecstatic when she sees His Majesty."
When Yuan Wei heard this, he immediately laughed, "This is a match made in heaven!"
Liang Sheng nodded slightly, "Of course."
...
The Liu family, who was missed by everyone in Kyoto, finally arrived in Kyoto in mid-July.
Liu Fang accompanies Liu Zhi non-stop to the Ministry of Justice to eliminate the crime and punishment files. After everything has been dealt with, and takes Liu Zhi to restore the household registration of the common people, Liu Fang smiled slightly, relieved, and accompany Liu Zhi back to the house.
It's just that they just returned to Liu's house, and before they entered the door, Wei Chengdi in the palace sent someone to invite Liu Zhi to enter the palace tomorrow.
Liu Zhi naturally would not refuse, so he sent away the **** who passed the decree, and he turned his head and glanced at Liu Fang.
Liu Fang smiled at him indifferently, and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Liu Zhi frowned and said, "Let's talk about it after entering the palace for my father tomorrow."
Liu Fang nodded with a smile, "Father, let's go first. You'll have a good night's rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Liu Zhi nodded and entered the mansion with Liu Fang, not to mention dressing and washing separately.
...
Palace
Wei Chengdi stood by the window of the imperial study room and listened to the eunuch's reply, "...Mr. Liu has just returned from the punishment department, and he is following the third girl of the Liu family..."
While listening, Wei Chengdi thought back to the past.
He still remembered that when he was six years old, his mother asked Mrs. Liu, who had entered the palace to ask for peace, would you like to let the third girl of the Liu family marry him?
At that time, although Mrs. Liu was humble, she kept saying that her daughter had a low status and was not worthy of his young emperor Yunyun.
At that time, Emperor Wei Cheng didn't understand, but thought that Mrs. Liu was not worthy of him because her youngest daughter was a concubine. Later, he learned that it was the Liu family who did not want this little daughter from a concubine to enter the palace.
It is said that although the third mother of the Liu family is a concubine, she grew up by Mrs. Liu's side since childhood, and she has a deep relationship with Mrs. Liu, just like her own daughter. It is said that the teacher also loves this little daughter very much, and has high hopes...
…
The more he knew about Liu Sanniang's past, the more he knew that the teacher's family was not optimistic about him and didn't want to see him.
Wei Chengdi smiled bitterly. Also, he did such absurd things back then. As an imperial teacher, the teacher must be very disappointed.
Even though he has woken up over the years and understood the teacher's painstaking efforts, he has been unable to look back. As a young emperor, he can only continue to move forward, unable to go back to the past, and unable to correct his life.
Sometimes, Wei Chengdi would feel tired and would think that if he hadn't become the king of a country, maybe he wouldn't have to live so tired.
But now, even if he knew that others were waiting for him to fall into the trap, he couldn't escape his fate and could only do so, even if the teacher would hate him for it.
Emperor Wei Cheng looked at the high blue sky outside the window, his eyes were firm, and he finally had the edge of a generation of emperors.
...
As the evening approached, Liu Fangcai got up, and after grooming under the service of Mo He, he changed his clothes, went to the main courtyard to accompany his family for dinner, and then returned to the courtyard where he lived.
Mo He loosened her bun, combed Liu Fang's hair, and said slowly, "The people in Beijing saw Yuan three days ago, and the young master of the Liang family went to Wenxian's residence to talk and did not leave until evening."
Liu Fang closed her eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "They are nothing more than negotiating, how can I become the queen. Have all the evidence of the two collected?"
Mo He glanced at Liu Fang and replied, "It has been collected."
Liu Fang nodded slightly, "Well, that's fine."
Mo He looked up at Liu Fang again and hesitated, "Master, do you really want to enter the palace?"
Liu Fang opened her eyes, looked at her, and smiled slightly, "It's not that I want to enter the palace, it's that I have to enter the palace."
Before she returned to Beijing from northern Xinjiang, she already knew that as soon as her family stepped into the capital, they could not avoid those conspiracies. Those who wanted to plot against her were all in vain.
Entering the palace must be entered, but it depends on how she entered the palace.
Liu Fang looked at Mo He and said, "Don't you miss me?"
Mo He shook his head, "No, the master is very talented, and the slaves have always believed in you."
Liu Fang smiled and stopped talking.
Without Liu Zhi's father, perhaps she would not have chosen such a path.
After all, my father would not bear the suffering of the people of the world.
Liu Fang sighed slightly, that's all, since my father is dedicated to the people,
Then she will give him a clean and stable world.
...
Early the next morning, Liu Zhi entered the palace in plain clothes.
Wei Chengdi waited in person in front of the palace gate to greet him. Liu Zhi got off the carriage and saw that Wei Chengdi, who had grown tall and straight, was full of emotion.
However, he quickly got out of the car and gave a big salute to Emperor Wei Cheng, "Liu Zhi, a commoner, greet Your Majesty."
Wei Chengdi quickly stepped forward to help him up, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked, "Teacher, you are suffering."
Liu Zhi, however, still bowed respectfully and said, "The common people are frightened and ashamed."
Wei Chengdi was startled, looked at Liu Zhi, and after a while he continued to excitedly say, "Teacher, are you still blaming me?"
Liu Zhi sighed, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, the common people are no longer your teacher. Please take back such a respectful title. The common people are terrified."
Seeing this, Emperor Wei Cheng let go of Liu Zhi's hand, lowered his eyes and said, "I understand, I also ask Mr. Liu to accompany me into the palace."
Liu Zhi bowed his head and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wei Cheng got on the Luan Jia, and Liu Zhi followed Luan Jia and slowly walked into the palace gate together, until he stopped in front of the imperial study, and entered the imperial study with Wei Chengdi.
After Wei Chengdi sat at the desk, Liu Zhi made a big salute and knelt before the desk.
Wei Chengdi looked at Liu Zhi and said slowly, "Sir, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"
Liu Zhi bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, and the common people are all well. Has Your Majesty been well these years?"
Wei Chengdi's eyes were slightly red, and he was a little excited, and said, "No, I haven't been good all these years. Sir, do you know the current situation in the court?"
Liu Zhi shook his head, "The common people are no longer capable of serving as officials, and the common people can no longer manage these things."
Wei Chengdi was stunned again, looking at Liu Zhina's still energetic face, still as refined and gentle as before, but now, his eyes have been so calm that they are no longer as warm as before.
He suddenly understood something, Wei Chengdi panicked and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Liu Zhi's still clear and clean eyes.
He swallowed his saliva, but still said bravely: "Sir, I am not young, and I will soon be crowned. But so far, I have not decided on a suitable queen candidate. I know that there is still a daughter in the husband's family who has never been married. I am willing to use the world as an offer to marry the daughter of Mr., and I hope that Mr. will agree!"
After speaking, he got up and faced Liu Zhi and gave a big salute. Liu Zhi stiffened and looked at Emperor Wei Cheng with a heavy gaze.
"Your Majesty, you are serious."
Liu Zhi stretched out his hand to support him, and said solemnly and earnestly, "Your Majesty, the common people cannot agree to your request!"
