Chapter 89 Difficult Sister Difficult Sister
The fall of the third prince did not cause any major trouble in Chang'an City, mainly because the emperor did not study it carefully. The most serious punishment for many important ministers of the third prince's party was to demote several positions to observe the future. Among them, there were several brothers of Liu Yu. Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, was completely unemployed. After guarding Tongguan, he returned to Chang'an. He handed over the military talisman and didn't even need to do anything to train troops. The most powerful family became Liu Yu, who was noble by his husband.
On the second day of taking a concubine, the family sat around a table for breakfast, and Liu Yu was pulled by Xu Xuanzhu to see his daughter's army. Liu Yu had heard of the autumn army on the battlefield before, but that was only limited to rumors. What he imagined and what he actually saw was just a group of people shouting slogans to the army under the stage, accepting the "cordial condolences" of the commander Xu Xuanzhu and the deputy commander Xu Caihua, saying a few words, and then changing to another group to receive repeated training.
There are no big speakers these days, and the formation will be larger when there are too many people, which makes the people behind you unable to hear what the people on the stage say, and can only become a small team to order troops.
As a man, Liu Yu saw that the female army was not suitable for being arrogant. He glanced in the tent behind the ordering table for a while. It was really boring. Lu Chu'er was so handsome that she wanted to show off her power in front of the younger sister soldiers, but Liu Yu ordered some work of serving tea and water. Liu Yu was light and sweating so hot that she had to drink more tea in order to avoid heatstroke.
"Guard Lu, I see that your generals and the others are thirsty, so you might as well send some tea out."
Lu Chu'er said with a sad face: "Son-in-law, please don't bother with me. You have not had heatstroke... I am almost exhausted."
"You are a soldier, so you have to complain so much. It's a pity that your general is still basking in the sun outside."
Liu Yu was just talking, after Xu Xuanzhu ordered the soldiers and returned to the tent to rest, covered in sweat. Liu Yu handed over a cup of tea, Xu Xuanzhu temporarily took off his armor and made a breath of ventilation. Xu Caihua came in casually and smiled and said, "Son-in-law, where is my tea?"
"If you want to pour the tea yourself." Liu Yu said coldly.
Xu Caihua walked to the military case and poured tea. Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "The weather is really hot today. My husband has never set foot in the military, but he can't stand the heat?"
"Oh, it's a bit hot." Liu Yu said, "There are still some things to do for your husband in the afternoon, so you can't go back with your wife."
"Your husband can do your job, so I can go home by myself."
Xu Xuanzhu personally jumped on the horse since Liu Yu arrived in front of the military camp. Lu Chu'er, who was in charge of escorting, looked unhappy. He just calmed down and stopped sweating and was about to be pulled out to bask in the sun by his son-in-law, and he complained in his heart.
Liu Yu returned to the city and went straight to the Song and Dance Hall in the south of the city. Some of Xu Han's gang members were secretly detained here. Liu Yu came over to see if he could ask for some questions. As soon as he entered the door, he saw two women coming towards him. Sima Xuan'er and Li Zhe'er were talking and walking towards the door. When he saw Liu Yu, both women were stunned.
Sima Xuan'er was there when Li Zhe'er was running for the courtesan. At that time, Liu Yu knew that they were old acquaintances.
"Mr. Liu." Li Zheer saw Liu Yu kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for your grievances on the Li family. The little woman has no choice but to repay her."
Now that Li Zhe'er has recovered her freedom, she was taken back to the Li Mansion yesterday. Liu Yu quickly helped her up. He didn't know when he became the "Mr. Liu" mentioned by Li Zhe'er. He used to be called Mr. Liu.
When Sima Xuan'er saw Liu Yu, she just bowed and walked into the hall without saying hello. She still had the same cold face. When she arrived at the door, she stopped and looked at this side, not disturbing her, and wanted to hear what they said.
Liu Yu asked about the situation of the Li family, and Li Zhe'er cried and replied a few words, saying that his mother was still in search of her, and there was no news about her brothers and uncles who were exiled. However, I think there is a lot of danger, and some of her sisters have also married.
Liu Yu was also very moved when he heard this. Li Zheer, the third generation of the Li family, was only eighteen years old. He said that his sister was married, but he was redeemed by the nobles and was taken as a concubine. The Li family revived, and these sisters could not heal the trauma. For a wealthy family, they could not recover their former glory even if they stood up after the collapse. Although Li Zheer's father had been restored, he was still unable to contact real power because he was far away from the court for a long time.
As the two talked, Liu Yu sent Li Zhe'er to the door, but the visitor was the one who sent the guests. Before leaving, Li Zhe'er thanked him deeply and said that he would come to the door to pay his respects another day. He was full of affection. He watched Li Zhe'er leave, and Liu Yu went back to the singing and dancing teaching workshop.
"It turns out that Zhe'er's favorite person is you." Sima Xuan'er came forward, her tone was quite gentle, "A few days ago, you hid her in the singing and dancing sect workshop?"
Liu Yu really couldn't answer her this question, and it involved the secrets of the court.
"Miss Yulan, I'm inconvenient to tell you about some problems."
Sima Xuan'er continued to ask: "Then can you tell the little woman why the sacrificial ceremony has ended and that group of people are still in the singing and dancing sect workshop and not leaving?"
"There is nothing to tell." Liu Yu spread his hands and said, then he went to the inner courtyard. Sima Xuan'er was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet.
Now the secret cell is imprisoned by the important roles of Xu Han's party, including Yang Yanqian, the former chief censor of the Censorate. The old emperor was quite friendly and did not punish them. These people were quite sensible and confessed to Xu Han's collusion with the Turks and the King of Huai. However, Liu Yu knew that this confession had many elements of disguised frame-up. What a secret of Xu Han's collusion with foreigners and foreign arms. Will he discuss it with these people?
Liu Yu just asked a few words about guarding the cell as usual, but did not personally interrogate the trial. For him, the case of personally interrogating the prisoner was a bit cruel. After all, this was a secret prison, and it would be a great punishment to be punished. Moreover, Feng Chengxian's death also touched Liu Yu, which made him a little tired of the intrigues of the court.
When Liu Yu left the door, Sima Xuan'er happened to be practicing dancing in the hall, and Aunt Xuan was instructing her. Liu Yu entered the hall and sat in the corner on the side for a while. Sima Xuan'er's dance looked very graceful, at least it would not make Liu Yu bored. Seeing this dance posture, Liu Yu inevitably thought of Liu Liniang. The dances of the two have many similarities, and their figures are the same graceful.
Aunt Xuan gave a few words of guidance, then stepped back to Liu Yu, and greeted him with a smile and was very polite.
"Aunt Xuan." Liu Yu also stood up to greet him.
The two sat on the wooden rack and chatted, and they couldn't help but mention Aunt Xuan's old lover Han Sheng. Liu Yu told him about just marrying the Han sisters, and expressed his feelings for Han Sheng's lonely family at home, intending to swear Aunt Xuan's maternal love is flooded.
"Mr. Han is a good person." Aunt Xuan was very calm and said, "I wonder if Mr. Liu can give Mr. Han a gift on my behalf?"
Liu Yu thought she was going to give her some "love token", but she didn't expect that she would come into the inner hall and take out a small wooden box with an inconspicuous wooden sign inside, so that Liu Yu would definitely hand it over to Han Sheng's hands.
Liu Yu didn't want to ask too much about the private affairs between Old Man Han and Aunt Xuan. He sat on a wooden rack with Aunt Xuan to watch Sima Xuan'er dance together. Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the nuns who practiced dancing here that day, so he asked about their origins.
"Why should Mr. Liu ask me about it?"
Aunt Xuan's words blocked Liu Yu's curiosity. Anyone who is involved with ** is very secretive about these people from the official school, and Liu Yu knew that it would be futile to ask further questions.
