"Did you discuss these thoughts and opinions with your grandfather in the Chuigong Palace?" After Liu Wenhuan finished talking, Liu Yang asked with a little concern.

Looking carefully at Liu Yang, Liu Wenhuan shook his head and said, "Never!"

"Why?"

Liu Wenhuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, bowed his head and said: "The Western Expedition is not only a major event for Sixth Uncle and Anxi's soldiers to make contributions, but it is also supported by my grandfather. Although I have some opinions, I don't dare to speak out Second-rate"

"Then why did you tell me?" Liu Yang said calmly.

Naturally, I have obtained some news that the prince is conservative and has reservations about Anxi's use of troops. However, I dare not say this directly, otherwise the flattery will appear too blatant.

After pondering for a while, Liu Wenhuan said: "Grandfather simply asked about my son's experience and knowledge during the trip to the west, and did not take the Anxi military and political exam!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang was thoughtful, and sighed softly: "How can I consult with military and state affairs..."

For some reason, upon hearing Liu Yang's emotion, Liu Wenhuan felt a strong sense of panic for no reason.Looking at Liu Yang, Liu Wenhuan bowed and said, "Father, did you say something wrong?"

Facing Liu Wenhuan's tense and concerned eyes, Liu Yang's serious face softened a little, and he said calmly, "No!"

After a pause, Liu Yang said to Liu Wenhuan again: "What you said has its limitations and merits, and it's not aimless, and it makes sense to think about it!
Since the Western Expedition, the imperial court has indeed paid a heavy price, and the people in the northwest have indeed suffered. The officers, soldiers and civilians are all exhausted. These are all facts.

However, you can't just focus on the surface when looking at the problem. Didn't your grandfather know the burden that the Anxi Expedition brought to the court?Don't the princes of the court know?
all know!But why still go west?That's because your grandfather's ambitions are far beyond the present. He wanted to break the limitation of China's rule of the Northwest for thousands of years, and it was for the perpetuity of the Han Dynasty in the Northwest!

A hundred-year plan, should it be deterred by temporary difficulties? "

Speaking of this, it was obvious that Liu Wenhuan's expression became more solemn, Liu Yang continued: "Your grandfather's considerations may not be able to convince everyone in the world, and there are not one or two people in the court who have dissent.

You are the emperor's grandson and the prince's son, so you can disapprove of such a policy, but if you don't even have a basic understanding."

Liu Yang couldn't help shaking his head when he said this, and Liu Wenhuan clearly felt the disappointment expressed by his father.Youthful spirit, especially good face, facing Liu Yang at this time, Liu Wenhuan felt a sense of shame, lowered his head, blushed and said: "I am short-sighted, and I don't understand my grandfather's long-term strategy."

Seeing this, Liu Yang waved his hands, stood up, smiled at him and said, "Don't worry too much, it can be seen that you have gained a lot from this westward journey.

At least when I was your age, I didn't have the experience of traveling thousands of miles, to get a down-to-earth overview of the infinite scenery of the Han River and mountains.Or your grandfather is right, the prince can't stay in the palace for a long time, he needs to go out and see more."

Hearing what Liu Yang said, Liu Wenhuan felt better, his expression gradually returned to normal, and he cupped his hands and said, "Father's teachings, I will keep them in mind!"

"It's been a tiring trip this trip, so I'd like to rest and spend more time with your mother!" Liu Yang raised his hand and rubbed his temples, looking tired: "As for the arrangements after returning to the palace, by the way, you Any ideas?"

Faced with this sudden turning point, Liu Wenhuan was a little caught off guard, but after this trip, seeing the vast world outside, and letting Liu Wenhuan go back to Wenhua and Wuying Hall to practice, I am afraid that he will not have the patience.

However, after thinking about it, Liu Wenhuan still calmly said: "After this incident, I feel that my knowledge is not enough, and I still need to study hard, delve into civil and military skills, and serve the court!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang observed Liu Wenhuan silently for a while, as if pondering the truth of the statement.After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "I'll give you three days to rest, and after three days, report back to the military academy to make up for the delayed studies and training.

After graduating, I will send you an errand, and continue to exercise during the real-time dispatch."

"Yes!" Liu Wenhuan replied calmly, but secretly pleasantly surprised.

"Let's go! Dinner should be almost ready." After saying that, Liu Yang got up and planned to go to the main hall.

Liu Wenhuan followed immediately, suddenly thought of something, leaned closer, and said hesitantly, "I have one more thing, I want to report to Dad!"

"Say it!" Liu Yang gestured with a wave of his hand.

"On the way back to Beijing, my son met a young strong man in Hexi. At that time, I felt that he was quite extraordinary, with outstanding knowledge, boldness and generosity, which was quite admirable, and my son invited him to go with him.

The name of this person is Kang Mingrui, he is the grandson of Kang Ning, a wealthy businessman in Beijing, and when he arrived in the pass, news came from Beijing that the Kang family had conspired against him."

Regarding the acquaintance between Liu Wenhuan and Kang Mingrui, Wu Desi had already reported to Emperor Liu, and Liu Yang also knew about it from Zhao Defang and Murong Yongren.

And the man has already been locked up. After the news of Kang's "rebellion" passed through the border, under the strong advice of Zhao Defang and Murong Yongren, Liu Wenhuan personally ordered his arrest.Now he is being imprisoned in Wude Prison, ready to be executed together with a new batch of "rebels".

Liu Yang didn't intend to ask about this matter, and simply exposed it, but Liu Wenhuan took the initiative to bring it up, and Liu Yang stopped, turned his head, and said solemnly: "Why, you want to intercede for Kang Mingrui? "

Facing the majesty on Liu Yang's face, Liu Wenhuan was slightly startled, and quickly dispelled his original thoughts. He shook his head and said, "Since he is rebellious, he is ruthless! I'm just curious, this Kang family is a big man." As a wealthy businessman, Kang Mingrui is also a well-informed person, so how could he rebel and make trouble? I still heard that my father personally met Kang Ning back then and praised him greatly."

Liu Yang never thought that Liu Wenhuan would say such insignificant words, and almost flew into a rage, and for the first time in his life, he scolded viciously: "Shut up!

What do you mean, are you blaming the court for wronging the Kang family, or are you alluding to me?I think you are getting carried away!It is too easy to get the title of first-class marquis after escorting the military supplies, but it is also not difficult to lose it, maybe it is just because of a few stupid words! "

Liu Yang was obviously really angry, and Liu Wenhuan had never seen his father have such an outburst before. He panicked, knelt down straight, and begged, "Please calm down, dad! You are frivolous and ignorant, talking nonsense."

Looking at Liu Wenhuan, Liu Yang took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and said in a low voice, "Get up!"

After saying that, he walked slowly towards the main hall, his brows were tightly furrowed, his expression was gloomy, and he sighed sadly in his heart: "Plucking the seedlings will help them grow!"

Liu Yang originally planned to take Liu Wenhuan by his side after Liu Wenhuan came back, study politics and observe things, and cultivate them attentively, but now he has changed his mind.
