Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 208: Sang Wen returns to Beijing, and the king meets the king at Taiping Villa

The carriage with the logo of the Minister of War slowly drove into the gate of Kyoto.

Hundreds of personal guards escorted Sang Wen back to Kyoto.

Now Liu Hong is already a first-class duke, only one level lower than the duke or prince, and can have 600 personal guards in his mansion.

These guards are to escort Sang Wen and also to expand Liu Hong's defensive force.

Now Liu Hong is in power in the imperial court. There are countless people who hate him so much that they send assassins to infiltrate Liu Hong's inner circle.

Therefore, it would be better to draw the personal guards who can be entrusted with their lives from the Qianlong Bay base camp.

After not seeing her for a long time, Sang Wen's beautiful face is still the same as before, but with a more elegant and noble air.

When Liu Hong placed Sang Wen in Pei Bo's Mansion in Qianlong Bay, he was not just entrusting the eldest princess to her care.

It is also to let his old brothers know that there is such a person as Sang Wen.

Now it seems that everything is going well and nothing goes wrong.

When Sang Wen saw Liu Hong, a smile instantly broke out on his face. He jumped off the carriage without caring that it had not completely stopped yet, and trotted into Liu Hong's arms.

Liu Hong's smile also showed more sincerity.

He was just a third-rank Peibo at first, and he hadn't even gotten his hands on the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, when he killed the Qin family's illegitimate son on a chessboard.

It was basically the dangerous start-up period of Kyoto, and the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty were not around at that time.

Apart from a few old brothers, only Sang Wen has always been by his side.

All the way through these thorny roads!
"Ji Xin, you are right. I want to make Sang Wen my concubine."

Liu Hong suddenly spoke, then took a step forward and hugged Sang Wen tightly in his arms.

He had such a glorious life. If the only one he owed someone was someone else, those old brothers who followed him and did not have a lot of wealth would feel embarrassed to see Liu Hong.

The only person I owe is Sang Wen!

There was a hint of relief and worry in Ji Xin's eyes.

No matter what, Sang Wen came from a brothel, which was a threshold after all.

If I tell everyone in the world that Sang Wen was still a virgin when she was redeemed, will anyone believe it?
The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain and it is difficult to change.

Zhang Liang, on the other hand, said nothing here.

Given Liu Hong's current status, it's okay for him to be a little willful.

As long as Liu Hong is not crazy, he will depose Fan Ruoruo from her position as wife and make Sang Wen's child the crown prince.

Then Zhang Liang has a way to deal with Liu Hong's aftermath.

Liu Hong and Sang Wen hugged each other tightly in public, and everyone could see it clearly.

When Yan He, the commander of the East City Gate, saw all this, his face turned dark and he immediately turned around and left with his personal guards.

Damn! It might be another big earthquake.

Fan Ruoruo was married in a formal ceremony, the talented woman and perfect match that the aristocratic families in Kyoto had always dreamed of.

As a result, he is not favored by Liu Hong!

As a result, Liu Hong still had a tendency to favor his concubine over his wife, which almost caused a major earthquake in the Kyoto officialdom which had just stabilized.

I just don’t know whether Liu Hong did this intentionally for everyone to see or unintentionally.

The former is fine, it’s just a drop in the eye for the Fan family.

If it was the latter, Yan He didn't even dare to think about it.

Sang Wen was shy after all. When she saw everyone staring at her, she immediately blushed and let go of her hand.

"Let's go back to the Shangshu Mansion!"

Liu Hong prepared to take Sang Wen to the Shangshu Mansion.

Sang Wen grabbed Liu Hong's hand and shook his head.

"Sir, I am only a concubine. Now that I have come to the capital, I should pay my respects to the mistress."

A trace of helplessness appeared on Liu Hong's face.

Sang Wen is just too sensible, and sometimes it makes him feel distressed.

Now that Fan Ruoruo is pregnant, it is like she has a golden medal of immunity from death until her child is born.

Even Liu Hong couldn't do anything to Fan Ruoruo.

As long as Fan Ruoruo was jealous and mad and wanted to beat Sang Wen to death, Liu Hong couldn't say much.

After all, this is the power of the wife!
"Are you sure?"

Liu Hong gently combed Sang Wen's hair and spoke softly.

Sang Wen smiled sweetly. Under his weak appearance, he had a toughness that ordinary people could hardly imagine. "My lord, if it weren't for you, I would probably be dead now."

This is what Liu Hong admires most about Sang Wen.

Gentle and skillful, yet tough and fiery.

Like a winter plum blossom.

"In that case, I'll go with you."

Liu Hong stopped Sang Wen from saying the next word.

"Fan Xian is still my brother-in-law after all. He's injured, so I should go and visit him."

Ji Xin and others returned to the streets of Kyoto to buy gifts. After all, they couldn't see the patient empty-handed.

In the carriage, Sang Wen gently played the pipa music that she and Liu Hong played when they first met.

Liu Hong was not used to riding in a carriage, but today he fell asleep peacefully in the carriage.

In his heart, even though they haven't seen each other for a year, Sang Wen is more trustworthy than Fan Ruoruo.

Because Sang Wen only has him in her heart, and Fan Ruoruo always puts her heart and soul on Fan Xian.

What Liu Hong didn't know was that while Sang Wen was playing the pipa music, he caught a glimpse of the scars on Liu Hong's body, his eyes became misty and sparkling tears flashed in between.

Everyone envied Liu Hong because he was just a commoner, but he could ascend to the imperial court and make a great contribution to the world.

Pei Gong, Governor of Kyoto, Prince's Guardian, Minister of Justice, General of Chariots and Cavalry! These five positions are difficult for ordinary people to climb in their entire lives.

And only Sang Wen knew how difficult Liu Hong's journey was.

Every court struggle is a game of chess with layers upon layers of bargaining, and the chess piece becomes the easiest to be discarded.

It is with the right time, right place and right people that we have reached this point.

Beneath the seemingly glorious appearance lies a tormented and troubled soul.

However, Sang Wen would not persuade Liu Hong to let go.

At worst, she would be buried alive with Liu Hong. Liu Hong had given her dignity, and she would accompany him until the last moment.

By the time the carriage arrived at Taiping Villa, Sang Wen had already calmed down. He gently woke Liu Hong up and smiled tenderly.

"Sir, we're here..."

Liu Hong stretched himself and felt refreshed. He liked to fall asleep listening to Sang Wen's pipa music so that he would not wake up easily in the middle of the night.

When Li Chengru knew that Liu Hong had arrived, he deliberately greeted him at the door with a strong smile. Even when he saw a woman following Liu Hong, he remained calm.

It seems that Liu Hong finally figured it out.

How could he fight against the aristocratic families of Qing Kingdom alone? The better he let go, the better he could keep some good reputation.

"You guys just stay outside. I still trust the Imperial Guards to guard me."

Liu Hong whispered instructions to his guards.

Only Ji Xin and Zhang Liang were left to accompany him.

Thanks to Fan Ruoruo's surgery, Fan Xian successfully saved his life and regained consciousness.

Fan Xian had already learned from Fan Ruoruo what Liu Hong did after the assassination in the Hanging Temple.

He massacred his political opponents and civilians and took away his Barrett.

So this time, Fan Xian lay on the bed with a pale face, looking at Liu Hong.

There was no longer the previous conflict on his face, only indifference and alienation.

"What are you here for?"

"Fan Ruoruo is here, so of course I have to take her back to Shangshu Mansion. You should know that she is still my legal wife."

Liu Hong didn't care about Fan Xian's attitude.

After all, ever since Fan Xian came to Kyoto from Danzhou, he became famous for his poetry and prose, becoming the hope of the literary world of Qing Kingdom and has always been the center of attention.

From a deeper analysis, the right to speak in the literary world has always been in the hands of the big families.

In other words, the aristocratic families actually supported Fan Xian in becoming a powerful official, but Fan Xian only hated corrupt officials, not the families in the world.

After all, the butt determines the head!

Fan Xian always says that he wants the people to live with dignity.

To have dignity, the most basic thing is to have enough food and clothing, and then to have political rights.

Whether it is reform or revolution, what will ultimately be harmed are the interests of the aristocratic families.

Fan Xian has the support of the Fan family and is the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing. Is he willing to do this?
In the end it’s just a matter of compromise!
