Liu Yu's eyes fixed on Yang Su's body.

"Prime Minister, it's about the fate of the country, why don't you and I talk tonight by candlelight."

Yang Su coughed twice and bowed to accept the order.

In the room, dismissing his elder brother, Liu Shu seemed to have relieved a lot of the weight that was suppressed in his heart.

Although it was late at night, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She walked to the table and lightly stroked the dusty piano.

After the song was played, the maid next to her came to the side with the fruit she had prepared earlier, and said softly, "Princess, you seem to be restless today. You have played this piece no less than a hundred times, but today you made a mistake. Many places."

Liu Shu came back to his senses, glanced at the maid nearby, and sighed softly: "Time has passed, and I don't know why I will have the opportunity to play this piano again. In the past, what I played was the music, but today I really play it." I understand the deep meaning of this song. Xiao Ning, you have been with me for so long, let me ask you, if you were asked to marry a sworn enemy of an enemy country, would you marry him?"

The maid thought for a moment, and replied: "I don't quite understand what the princess means. But the little sisters around say that Qi is a big country, the king is in the world, rich in the world, the prince of Qi is loved by the emperor, and he is good at everything. Everyone knows that these characters are the most suitable for the princess."

Liu Shu looked at the maid in front of him and smiled, his smile was full of helplessness and sadness.

All his life, when he was young, he followed his father and the emperor, and lived a life of luxury and wealth after he became sensible. To outsiders, this is an extremely enviable life, but to her, it is a huge Burden, as the eldest princess, she is doomed to lose a lot in this life.

She must die for the glory and prosperity of her family.

Fortunately, it is the prince of Qi, if it is the leader of the Huns, she really does not know what will happen to her.

"You do not understand."

The maid seemed a little unconvinced, and continued: "The princess is marrying far away, and our sisters will go to Qi with you at that time. To be honest, I have never been out of Guanzhong when I grow up. This time, I can see the number one in the world The demeanor of a big country. I heard that Pengcheng, the capital of Qi, is magnificent, princess, don’t you think so?”

"No... you can't go, not only you can't go, but none of the maids around me are allowed to go."

The smile on the maid's face froze there for a moment. She had entered the palace since she was a child and followed Liu Shu.After so many years, the two have become close friends who talk about everything.

Now, the princess is marrying far away, if she doesn't go, others will definitely think that she has other reasons and be rejected by the master.At that time, even if he stayed in his homeland, he might not be able to escape the rumors around him. Whether he could survive or not would be the same thing.

"Princess, you are married to a foreign country, without us, your daily life..."

Liu Shu's face was full of determination, just at this moment, she had made up her mind.If you go deep into the tiger's den, you will inevitably die. If that is the case, why drag others down before you die.

"I have made up my mind. Before I leave, I will have someone send you out of the palace. When the time comes, the sky will be big and the earth will be big. You can go wherever you want, but you are not allowed to follow me, understand?"

Chapter 997

When Yang Xuangan returned, he reported all the regulations drafted by Cao Anmin to Liu Chan. Liu Chan immediately decreed that Liu Shu be conferred the title of Princess Jincheng and set off on the same day.

After the imperial edict, Liu Shu, Princess of Jincheng, could only bid farewell to her homeland, and boarded the carriage to Pengcheng in a red gauze with a noble mission.

In the Qi Palace, Emperor Qi Cao Anmin and Crown Prince Cao Sheng were playing chess. Empress Chen Yan sat beside her and brought tea and pastries from time to time.The harmony of the family of three moved the surrounding people.

Chess has become a highly sought after entertainment activity in the upper class since it was popularized by Cao Wei.Even ordinary people will use this to exercise their thinking and enhance their eyesight.

As the king of Qi, Cao Anmin's level of chess is not high, but his interest is extremely high.Whenever I was free, I tried every means to find my courtiers to play two games.

Although Cao Sheng is young, his chess skills are indeed superb.Although playing chess with Cao Anmin, there is often a distinction between superiority and inferiority, but as a father and son, when playing chess, Cao Sheng shows no mercy, often killing his father and emperor.

At the end of the game, Cao Anmin was left with only the veteran alone on the chessboard. Facing his son's powerful attack, Cao Anmin could only smile awkwardly and say, "I lost, I lost again."

If someone else heard Cao Anmin say this, they would probably be scared to death, but Cao Sheng in front of him just smiled and said: "My father's chess skills are still improving, at least, I won't regret it now, haha."

The hall was full of Cao Sheng's laughter, Cao Anmin's face turned red, and finally he burst out laughing.

As a king, he didn't want his sons to be too rigid and polite like his courtiers.Everyone often says that they are lonely, but Cao Anmin believes that there is family affection in the royal family, and there is affection between even the strictest father and son.

"Sheng'er, no matter how old or young, you still dare to talk about your father like that, and the queen mother will talk about you again." Chen Yan pretended to be angry, and stepped forward to grab Cao Sheng's ear.

Cao Sheng quickly dodged, and shouted while hiding: "Mother, I am so old, and you are still pulling my ears."

Chen Yan said angrily: "No matter how old you are, you are still a child in the eyes of mother."

Cao Anmin looked at the pair of mother and child in front of him and said: "Okay, I can't afford to lose. Sheng'er can outperform the blue and beat the blue. I'm too happy. Sit down, sit down, Yan'er, get me another one." Here are the oranges, the oranges from Jiaozhou this time taste really good."

Chen Yan casually took an orange, peeled off the skin and handed it to Cao Anmin, saying, "In your words, this is the ulterior motive. I heard that Liu Rengui conquered all the countries in Central and South China, and wiped out 20 people at once. Enemy army. Eh, by the way, I heard that there is an animal in Jiaozhou that is as tall as an ox, with a nose like a snake, is there such a thing?"

It has been said in all dynasties that concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics.

However, Cao Anmin and Chen Yan had feelings of adversity, so naturally they would not be bound by these etiquettes.

"That thing is called an elephant. It is several feet tall and powerful. Liu Rengui sent an envoy to bring a pair of elephants to Beijing. Then you will be able to see this magical animal."

Although Chen Yan is the mother of the country, she still has the little girl's posture under Cao Anmin's pampering. Hearing such a novel thing at this moment, she chatted endlessly with several court ladies.

Cao Anmin shook his head, looked at Cao Sheng nearby and said, "Father and son, do we want to kill another game?"

Cao Sheng seemed to have something hard to say, seeing Cao Anmin's question hesitating for a long time before he said: "Father, I don't know the princess of the Han Kingdom, so I feel a little uncomfortable marrying a stranger?"

Cao Anmin smiled and said: "You are my son, and you are destined to inherit the foundation of Qi State in the future. As an emperor, although you enjoy the world and control the power of life and death, many times you have gained a lot, but you have also lost a lot. In the past, you Small, it’s not good for my father to teach you some things, now that you are grown up, it’s time to tell you some things.”

With that said, Cao Anmin led Cao Sheng into the study next to him.

Here are a lot of books that Cao Anmin summed up by himself, and some of them were written by him in light of the sunshine and historical lessons of the world.

The two sat opposite each other, and Cao Anmin handed a handwritten letter to his son.

"What your master Xu teaches you is often the ability to govern the country. The emperor is not as good as him in this regard. What the emperor can teach you is how to control the courtiers and how to stabilize the government."

Cao Sheng looked at the book in front of him, and his palms were sweating.

This study room is a forbidden area of ​​Qi State, even if it is him, without Cao Anmin's permission, he must never step in this room.

Now, since Cao Anmin solemnly brought him into this study, and handed him some of the things he wrote down.

To put it bluntly, this is where the power of the Qi State is transferred.

"Father is taught, and sons and servants must study hard to keep my great Qi and Jiangshan unchanged for thousands of years."

Cao Anmin waved his hand and said, "Wannian is a bit exaggerated. If it can last for hundreds of years, father is already very content. Just now, let me tell you that to be an emperor, especially if you want to be a good emperor, you have to lose a lot of things. First of all, you must What is lost is love."

"Love? Could it be that there is no relationship between the father and the queen?"

Cao Anmin said: "Nonsense, your mother and I share weal and woe, how can we say that we have no feelings. But there is a difference between you, Zhen Niang and Yuan Niang, and your mother. Your Yuan Niang originally belonged to Yuan Shao. Daughter. At the beginning, the father was caught between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so he could only marry Yuan Shao to gain a chance of life. And you Zhenniang, the reason why the father married her was to make the land of Hebei The hearts of the people belong. If you don’t like the princess of the Han Dynasty, you can put it in the palace as a vase and offer it to you. It’s not a bad idea to marry the woman you like in the future. And this is the art of balance.”

When Cao Sheng heard the words, the depression in his heart slowly unraveled, and only then did he understand that the seemingly simple emperor contained so much knowledge.

Cao Anmin thought about it, and then continued: "This time the Han Kingdom took the initiative to send the princess here, there must be a conspiracy. At that time, all the reception and matters will be handled by your father. You only need to remember one thing."

"Father please show me."

"The Han Kingdom is our great enemy of the Qi Kingdom, and their daughters are naturally our enemies. After you meet the princess of the Han Kingdom, no matter whether the other party is the legendary alluring country or the beauty of the country, you must not act like a son or daughter." , addicted to it, unable to extricate yourself, otherwise you will only hurt yourself when the time comes."

Cao Sheng nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and said, "I would like to follow my father's instruction."
