Liu Boxian pretended to be Liu Mingge, took Liu Mingge's giant sword, and openly led his men and horses to wrap up Liu Fu'an and his party and went straight to Yuzhang.

The strange thing is that Cui Guangyuan did not send anyone to chase this nearly a thousand-man team. The soldiers along the way who occasionally intercepted were cut down by Liu Boxian with his sword.

When crossing the river, Huang Chunzhi took advantage of the people guarding her and threw herself into the river. Liu Boxian had great martial arts and intelligence, but was not used to water, so he had to let his men search for her.

It is basically hopeless to find a person who drowns himself in the river. Those who honestly get on the boat and return to life will be chopped up by Liu Boxian and thrown into the river to feed the fish. The smart ones will not get on the boat again after they get down into the river.

Anyway, Liu Fu'an was still in hand, so losing a Huang Chunzhi would not affect the overall situation. Liu Boxian's men continued to set off, heading towards Yuzhang via the waterway.

When passing by Chaisangkou, Liu Boxian had someone make an iron mask for himself and put it on, and in the name of the prime minister, he left half of his troops to station at Chaisangkou, which was named Xinliu Camp.

Someone had already informed Li Xiaofei of Yuzhang City, and Li Xiaofei quickly brought his cronies and everyone from the academy to greet "Mr. Liu".

Liu Jian had moved to Tanzhou at this time, and Liu Boxian didn't know it. When he met Li Xiaofei and others, he imitated Liu Mingge and asked, "Is the emperor still well in Yuzhang?"

Li Xiaofei and everyone looked at each other in confusion. The matter of moving to Tanzhou was agreed upon by Liu Mingge before he set off. Why did Liu Mingge ask questions knowingly?

Liu Boxian also knew that he probably said the wrong thing. "Ahem, I'm a little tired. I was injured in the battle with the devil in Suizhou. The young prince and I have been rescued. You can take good care of him. He suffered a lot of frights!"

Looking at the masked "Mr. Liu" in front of him, Li Xiaofei was the first to have doubts. "Mr. Liu, before you left, you promised to give me 500,000 yuan to run the academy. Do you still remember?"

Ryu Baekhyun slowly took off his mask, "I knew you would doubt me if I wore a mask, haha, let alone five hundred thousand guan, I also brought you one million guan."

After speaking, Liu Boxian clapped his hands, and the people behind him quickly moved out of the way, revealing dozens of carts of things. On the carriage behind, Liu Fuan was supported by golden branches and silver branches, and he got down and walked forward.

As soon as Li Xiaofei saw Liu Fu'an, he ran over, "Little Prince! Little Prince, you are back!"

Liu Fu'an instinctively hid behind him, "You are a bad person, you are a bad person!"

Li Xiaofei laughed and said, "Little prince, I am Li Xiaofei, and I hugged you a few years ago!"

"You are a bad person! You are a bad person! Go away! Don't hit me!" Liu Fu'an ran back as hard as he could.

Li Xiaofei wanted to chase, but Liu Boxian shouted, "Stop chasing. I told you that the young prince was frightened, so stop chasing!"

Li Xiaofei had no choice but to retreat and let others pick up Liu Fu'an. Liu Boxian looked at everyone who was kneeling to Liu Fu'an and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will wait for the Prime Minister to rest in Yuzhang for a few days before going to Tanzhou to see the emperor! Well, today

I'm going to hold a big banquet for you all in Yuzhang City tonight!"

Li Xiaofei and everyone were a little at a loss again. Liu Mingge always ate alone on weekdays. Occasionally he had meals with Liu Jian, Li Xiaofei and several others, and he never invited guests. Why did he come back from rescuing people and his temperament changed drastically?

Could it be that he has learned about life and death by fighting against the devil?

While everyone was puzzled, Liu Boxian smiled, "Life and death are the most important things. You should enjoy yourself while you are alive. Haha, if you have wine and meat today, you will be happy. You don't know what will happen tomorrow!"

"We must obey the Prime Minister's teachings!"

Liu Boxian waved his hand, "Everyone has his or her own ambitions, so don't force them. You don't have to learn from me."

Although the Liu Mingge in front of them was a bit weird, no one was suspicious. Liu Mingge had always been a weirdo, but this time it was just from a different angle.

Liu Boxian not only entertained everyone, but also gave rewards to everyone who came to greet him.

"Mr. Liu is finally enlightened!"

"Prime Minister Liu has really become more generous when he comes back this time!"

"It looks like he made another fortune outside!"

Amid everyone's discussion, Liu Boxian entered Yuzhang City. There were a lot of people watching the excitement this time. Firstly, there was no martial law, and secondly, Liu Boxian's team occasionally scattered coins on both sides of the road and rushed to pick up the money.

The people were in chaos on the ground.

In the next three days, Liu Boxian held a grand banquet. On the first day, it was Li Xiaofei and other officials plus the Academy and others, on the second day, it was for the wealthy businessmen in Yuzhang City, and on the third day, it was for the so-called descendants of the aristocratic family he brought.

Liu Fu'an was afraid when he saw Li Xiaofei, so Li Xiaofei had no choice but to ask Yuan Xin to take care of and treat Liu Fu'an.

Yuan Xin checked for a few days and told Li Xiaofei that Liu Fu'an was indeed too frightened and could not remember what happened before.

"Is there any way to cure the young prince? If he is sent to Tanzhou like this, I'm afraid the emperor and empress will be extremely sad."

Yuan Xin looked at Liu Fu'an, who was still shaking in his sleep, "With my medical skills, I can't do it now, but Mr. Liu should be able to cure it, but he didn't. I don't quite understand."

"Not only you don't understand, I don't understand either. I always feel that this Mr. Liu is not the one we are familiar with. Although he looks exactly the same, he is a completely different person!"

"Perhaps this is the weird thing about Mr. Liu. He always makes people confused and unable to understand him."

"I also asked people from Jianlou to help me check, and they said this was Mr. Liu. Maybe I was overthinking it, or maybe we didn't understand Mr. Liu in the first place."

Next, Liu Boxian took Liu Fu'an to Tanzhou, but Li Xiaofei was unable to accompany him because of Liu Fu'an.

When they saw their son who had been separated for more than a year, Liu Jian and his wife burst into tears and hugged Liu Fu'an tightly.

Liu Fu'an's eyes were dull and he didn't speak, and he didn't recognize them at all.

"The young prince is too frightened and the humble minister is incompetent. Please punish him!"

Liu Jian and his wife were feeling sad and happy, Xiao Qian hugged Liu Fu'an and said, "You speak, I am your mother, An'er, you speak!"

Qin Zhong and several palace maids quickly sent Xiao Qian and her son back to the side hall of the temporary palace to rest.

The temporary palace in Tanzhou is the old palace of King Changsha during the Han Dynasty. It has been well preserved for hundreds of years. After Zhou Dapeng's renovation, although it is not one percent as good as the palaces in big cities such as Jinling and Luoyang, it can still be accommodated.

The emperor and his officials.

In the main hall, Liu Jian sighed, "Oh, Prime Minister Liu, thanks to you we can see the emperor. But I didn't expect that they would abuse the emperor so viciously, which is unacceptable in heaven!"

"Weichen has taken action to kill the bad guys who abused the young prince. With the help of the power of the major families, Weichen will surely find a panacea to cure the young prince!"

Everyone present was shocked. Liu Mingge was actually related to the noble family?

Liu Jian was also surprised and asked, "Prime Minister Liu? Are you connected with the aristocratic family? Hasn't the aristocratic family been taken over by Zhu Yaoshi a long time ago?"

Liu Boxian stroked his beard, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I am originally from the Liu family in Hedong!"

Only then did everyone remember that the Liu family in Hedong was indeed one of the aristocratic families, but the Liu family had always believed in Huang Lao's techniques and emphasized governing by doing nothing, so they rarely served as officials in the court. Liu Mingge was an anomaly among the Liu family.

Not only did he practice Taoism, but he also studied the Legalist theory of Wang Ba, and he also served as an official, killed people, and went to sea to do business.

Liu Jian also understood: "I made a mistake for a moment. It would be great if Mr. Liu could lead the aristocratic family to be loyal to the court and help me revitalize the great beams! But now there is no one left in the aristocratic family, and the good and the bad are mixed. Could it be that Mr. Liu has a way to change it?"

All this?"

"Aristocratic families, military commanders and eunuchs are all the pillars of the beam. Over time, the pillars will inevitably grow infested with insects and decay.

, this is not the fault of the pillars. If the pillars are broken, just replace them with new wood. Since Emperor Wu, Daliang has been in peace for a long time. The aristocratic family has become the dominant one. The way for people to advance in the world has been blocked by the aristocratic family, so this is why

Later generals rebelled against Daliang and crossed south."

At this time, most of the people in this simple court were generals of the Southern Navy. They were all civilians, and it took a lot of effort to get their current official positions. Now that Liu Mingge wanted to support aristocratic families to get a share of the pie, he naturally strongly opposed it.

Zhou Dapeng was the first to speak out, "Mr. Liu, we have always respected you. But this aristocratic family is already in decay, why bother bringing it up again? As long as we work together, we will be able to help the emperor revive the emperor. We can do it even if there is no aristocratic family!"

"Marshal Zhou's words are wrong. The Cui family defeated them in Jiangling a few days ago. It shows that the family is not useless as Marshal Zhou said!"

After saying this, everyone was even more shocked. Could it be that Liu Mingge was also connected with the Cui family?

"Mr. Liu, the Cui family is rebellious, not an aristocratic family, and cannot be compared with your Hedong Liu family! Please distinguish right from wrong, Mr. Liu!"

Zhou Dapeng made sharp remarks and asked Liu Mingge to distinguish right from wrong, which meant he wanted the Liu family in Hedong to draw a clear line between the Cui family.

"A white horse is not a horse, and a leaf blinds the eyes. It is true that the Cui family of Qinghe is rebellious, but they are not trying to replace Emperor Liang, but are making a last-ditch struggle to keep the family's rightful place!"

Liu Jian was also confused as to why Liu Mingge went out to rescue people and came back to become the Cui family's lobbyist. But when she thought about Liu Mingge's loyal protection for more than a year, Liu Jian did not doubt that Liu Mingge would betray her.

"Mr. Liu, I probably understand what you mean. Do you think that as long as I make some promises to the Cui family, they will stop the rebellion? But they have killed so many people. If I don't punish them, how will they face the future?

People from all over the world?”

"My disciples from Nanyang Academy were also massacred! Privately speaking, I also wanted to kill them all to relieve the hatred in my heart! But for the sake of the overall situation, time is running out! Our army is currently unable to cross the river and go north, and the Wei State may at any time

Breaking the alliance and cutting off the food route between us and the South China Sea! In the past, Duke Huan of Qi pardoned Guan Zhong who shot him with an arrow and dominated the world. Did the Liang court not even have such a mind?"

What Liu Boxian said was so reasonable that Zhou Dapeng did not continue to object, but looked at the others.

Wu Fengxian smiled, "What the Prime Minister means is that the Cui family's rebellion can be quelled with just one edict from the Emperor. If that's the case, wouldn't it be superfluous for me to wait?"

"This general clearly misunderstood me. The war between the imperial court and the Cui family is caused by brothers fighting within the wall. As long as the words are opened and the terms are negotiated, it can be settled at any time. But in the future, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will depend on the general to unify the world.

We fight at the front, and the family organizes manpower and food in the rear."

Liu Jian also felt that what Wu Fengxian said was reasonable, and waved his hand, "Prime Minister Liu, the Cui family has been rebelling for several years and planning for decades. Although Cui Ju is dead, the Cui family will not be reconciled. They will not surrender just because of an edict."

Strike out!"

Everyone looked at Liu Boxian with sarcastic expressions. Liu Boxian knelt down to Liu Jian and said, "I am not talented, but I am willing to go to Jiangling with an edict to persuade Cui Guangyuan to surrender!"

This time, everyone was caught off guard. No one expected that Mr. Liu would take the initiative to go deep into the dangerous place.

Liu Jian also hurriedly went to help Liu Boxian: "Sir, please rise. I don't know your loyalty. Please don't take offense, sir!"

"I'm not angry, I'm confident! If I can't do this, all the descendants of the family I brought will be dismissed, and I will never mention the matter of supporting the family for the rest of my life!"

They didn't expect that Mr. Liu was serious, and everyone couldn't object anymore. They just felt that Mr. Liu was too stubborn and a little obsessed. How could he do something that he couldn't win on the battlefield by himself?
