Huangfu Song, Yang Biao and others stood outside the hall, discussing in low voices while listening to the goings on in the hall. As the New Year is approaching, they all have a lot to deal with, especially Yang Biao. As a Situ, the year-end plan is already a big headache for him. When Liu Bian returns to the court, he will soon launch a counter-insurgency war to raise funds for the army. Food and grass is also a big deal. At this time, Liu Bian suddenly summoned him to see the driver, which he couldn't understand. Liu Bian rarely summons ministers casually. There was a sound of footsteps outside the palace. Liu Xie and Xun Yu walked in one after another. They were also a little surprised to see Huangfu Song and Yang Biao standing in the corridor. "Taifu, Situ, you" "Your Highness is here as well, right?" Yang Biao stroked his beard and smiled, "Like His Highness, we don't know why. However, with His Majesty's habit of caring for his subjects, There must be something big going on. Your Highness is dressed in military uniform. Did he just come back from practicing martial arts?" Liu Xie looked at the armor on his body and smiled sheepishly. "Yes, I have been practicing riding and shooting for the past two days. When I heard His Majesty's call, I came here without even having time to change my armor. If the censor sees it, please ask Taifu and Situ to help explain." Huangfu Song and Yang Biao looked at each other and smiled in unison. Yang Biao nodded: "It is gratifying that Your Highness has regained his innocence." Liu Xie touched his head and laughed twice. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Bian's laughter came from the hall. "A Xie, I didn't expect you to look so good in armor." Everyone looked up and saw Liu Bian holding a swaddling baby in his hand and walking out with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but be stunned. When did a baby appear in the palace, and his status was high enough that Liu Bian could actually hold it in his own hands. His Highness fell silent immediately. No one dares to talk nonsense. Liu Xie's face was a little pale and his heart was beating like a drum. "Come and see your nephew." Liu Bian waved to Liu Xie. Liu Xie was startled and subconsciously walked over. Liu Bian handed the swaddling clothes into his hands and reminded: "Be careful, it's only two days since birth. It's still tender." Liu Xie held the swaddling clothes and looked at the swaddled baby. child. The corners of his mouth twitched. His mind went blank and he didn't know whether to cry or be lucky. The emperor has a son, so what use do I have? When did he know about it, and was it because of the news that he returned to the DPRK? He has a child of his own and doesn't need me anymore? Liu Bian looked at Liu Xie calmly. Xun Yu also rushed over and stood behind Liu Xie, but did not dare to move. Although Liu Bian said nothing, it is conceivable that this was Liu Bian's test for Liu Xie. If he wanted to remind Liu Xie and destroy Liu Bian's plan, it would only harm Liu Xie. And Liu Bian would not spare him lightly. The only one who can save Liu Xie at this time is Liu Xie himself, and no one else can help. In an instant, Xun Yu¡¯s heart was in his throat. He closed his mouth tightly. It seems that when you open your mouth, your heart will jump out. His hands and feet were numb, his ears were roaring, and the figures in front of him became a little blurry. He knew very well what having a son for Liu Bian meant to Liu Xie. This is tantamount to cutting off the possibility of Liu Xie inheriting the throne. With Liu Xie's usual thinking pattern, it would be difficult for him to remain calm at this time. Don't show any flaws. Even Xun Yu himself couldn't do it, let alone Liu Xie. ?Obviously. Liu Bian suddenly summoned them here, just to test Liu Xie with such a sudden attack to see how much humanity and demonic nature he had in his heart. What Xun Yu taught him was Confucianism. Confucianism is based on human nature and advocates humanity. However, in emperors, human nature is an extremely scarce thing. What must be suppressed in the emperor's art is human nature. Although what Xun Yu taught Liu Xie was not the imperial art of Han Feizi, it is undeniable that the difference between the two is not that far apart. If Liu Xietong fails the test, what will Liu Bian do with him? He now has his own child and no longer needs Liu Xie. Will he take this opportunity to demote Liu Xie to the end and completely eliminate the hidden dangers? When did he solve the problem of heirs? A series of questions were rolling in Xun Yu's mind. As smart as Xun Yu was, he was a little helpless at the moment. Huangfu Song and Yang Biao knew it very well and could not help but shed a cold sweat for Liu Xie. Liu Xie held the baby in his arms, dumbfounded. After an unknown amount of time, Liu Bian reached out, took the swaddling clothes from Liu Xie's hand, and shook it gently. Liu Zhi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, frowned, grinned, and burst into tears, breaking the suffocating tranquility in the hall. "Hey, you're crying, are you hungry?" Liu Bian laughed, turned around and handed Liu Zhi to the maid who came over, and asked her to give it to Bian Guiren to feed. Yang Biao took a step forward and broke the deadlock. "Your Majesty, this child is?" "I am born to Bian Guiren. I have an heir. Is it a happy event?" "Your Majesty has a son. Of course it is a happy event, and it is a great event. But, Bian Noblewho is it??Why have you never heard of it? " "It's Mr. Bian who is waiting by my side. "Liu Bian said lightly: "She traveled north with me and slept with me, so she became pregnant. The relevant records have been verified, and I remember them clearly. I have discussed it with the queen and am going to make her a noble person. I invite you here today just to give you some peace of mind. " Yang Biao was surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment. Cao Cao's former concubine gave birth to a son for the emperor? Although he knew that Bian had been accompanying the queen in the palace, he had no idea about Bian's pregnancy. Xun Yu was a little confused when he suddenly heard the news, but his reaction was faster. He immediately understood Tang Ying's intention and why more than two months ago. When he came to Zhuolongchi to see Tang Ying, why was Tang Ying's reaction so calm? It turned out that she had known for a long time that Liu Xie had no chance, and all her efforts were in vain. She was no longer that person. She is a little girl who hopes that she can help her, and her scheming is also terrifying. For her, Bian is really a good partner. Then who can say that she can't be a queen after being an eunuch. Regardless of whether she can have children in the future, Bian's mother and son will be grateful to her and give up their power. Once Liu Bian dies and his son succeeds, she will be the queen mother. What relationship does the throne have to Liu Xie? After thinking about this, Xun Yu couldn't help but be frightened. If it weren't for the dispute with Yang Biao, he would change his mind and persuade Liu Xie to retreat and ask Liu Bian to return to the court now. What will happen to him? "In addition, I have decided to name this child Zhi, with the courtesy name Zijian. I know that it is a bit unreasonable to give a name to a child who is only a few days old, and to choose a character before he is an adult. However, I have my own intention. I chose this name to tell the world that I will build a foundation for a hundred generations and build peace for all generations. Of course, such a great undertaking cannot be accomplished by me alone, or even by several generations. I hope to get the help of talented people from all over the world. " Yang Biao suddenly understood and quickly fell to the ground. "Your Majesty, Holy Ming, long live, long live! " Huangfu Song also quickly knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. They knew the meaning of this name very well. This was Liu Bian's confirmation to them once again that he hoped to cooperate with the Confucian sect, not to oppose it, and to honor the emperor in the name of the eldest son. The oath made by heaven and earth is not unceremonious. If they still doubt Liu Bian's sincerity, there will be no basis for cooperation. Liu Xie suddenly let out a long breath and raised his head, with an unnatural smile on his face. He lifted up his armor and knelt down, "Congratulations, brother. I wish the emperor, brother and son to be wise, may our country be strong forever, build a foundation for a hundred generations, and establish peace for thousands of years. " Liu Bian also smiled, stretched out his hand to pull Liu Xie up, and patted his pale face gently. "Brothers fight tigers, and father and son go into battle." Father and son soldiers can't be counted on now, but brothers can be relied on. Ah Xie, don¡¯t think that just because I have an heir, you can be a wealthy and idle person. My father-in-law doesn't have many children, and there are only three of you, my sister and my brother. My sister is a woman, but she still works hard. As a man, you can't back down. "Liu Xie was stunned for a while, clasped his fists and said: "It all depends on the emperor's instructions. I am willing to do the hard work of the dogs and horses and fulfill the responsibilities of the Liu family's children. " "Very good. "Liu Bian put his arm around Liu Xie's shoulders. "Brothers working together are as powerful as gold. If all people are united, the world will run rampant. I hope that we brothers can work together and that the talented people in the world can work together to build peace for all ages. " "Although Xun Yu took the lead, Yang Biao was still very happy. He also didn't want to see Liu Bian's brothers killing each other. Regardless of whether it was true or false, Liu Xie kept the bottom line, and Liu Bian also expressed his trust in Liu Xie as always, This major crisis was over for the time being. He and Huangfu Song, with their sleeves flying, congratulated Liu Bian with the most solemn etiquette After leaving the palace, Liu Xie sat on the carriage with his back straight. The child collapsed, sweating profusely, and his face was pale. Xun Yu looked at him with pity and held him in his arms. He knew that the moment just now was too cruel for a child like Liu Xie. , faced with this situation, he could not guarantee that he would do better than Liu Xie. ¡°Sir, I am too tired. Liu Xie closed his eyes and groaned. "Yes, Your Highness is too tired. You can take a good rest now." Liu Xie raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile. "Yes, I can indeed take a good rest." The royal brother has an heir, and there is no need for me as a younger brother who harbors evil intentions. I'm afraid my sister will be extremely happy when she finds out. ¡± Xun Yu listened calmly, saying nothing, and just hugged Liu Xie tightly. "I know, this is destiny." Liu Xie's eyes straightened, his lips trembled, and he said incoherently: "I didn't keep the dragon eggs that my father gave me, and I didn't keep the jade seal passed down to me. Brother Huang gave it to me. I still can't keep the Gun-cutting Wu knife. This is fate, it's fate." Xun Yu's eyes were calm, as if there were no waves in an ancient well. b
