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

Chapter 220, Emperor Qing no longer gives Liu Hong respect? Sang Wen's meal

"Announce Pei Gong to the palace. I want to see what Pei Gong thinks, whether he wants to leave or stay!"

Emperor Qing made up his mind and didn't bother to think about it anymore.

Liu Hong was promoted by him, so how could he cause such a huge stir?

All it takes is an imperial edict to bring this old dog back to his original form!

Let Liu Hong see that without his support as the emperor, the so-called King of Pei is actually nothing.

Eunuch Hou looked unhappy, and the emperor asked the minister directly whether he wanted to leave or stay.

Isn't this just preparing to kick people out?
Could any minister be so shameless as to say that he was greedy for power and would not stay no matter what?

Emperor Qing's action was tantamount to rubbing Liu Hong's face on the ground.

Just as Chen Pingping once drank horse urine and ate horse meat, he also wanted to leave the few remaining food items for Emperor Qing.

As a result, Emperor Qing turned around and slept with Ning Cairen, who was secretly engaged to Chen Pingping. It was like Emperor Qing only thought about himself from beginning to end.

But Eunuch Hou still lowered his head and said yes.

He was just a eunuch. Without the emperor, he was nothing and could only obey orders.

Emperor Qing looked at Eunuch Hou's departing figure and felt inexplicably happy.

This is the deformed shadow that Ye Qingmei left on him.

Emperor Qing is extremely concerned about the power in his hands. It is said that the eldest princess is crazy about power, and Emperor Qing is even worse.

It's just that he is the emperor, so he can't show it on weekdays.

At the Shangshu Mansion, Eunuch Hou and the palace guards stood outside the door, hesitating and not daring to step onto the steps for a long time.

Inside the mansion, Liu Hong's family of four, Fan Ruoruo, and Sang Wen were having dinner.

As Fan Ruoruo stopped acting like a troublemaker, the whole place became harmonious.

As for Liu Ying, he was in his wet nurse's arms.

Ji Xin, Zhang Liang, Shi Chanli, Versace and others were dining at another table.

It wasn't a class difference, it was just that it seemed a bit weird to dine with two mistresses.

After hearing the report from the guards, Eunuch Hou hesitated at the gate.

Liu Hong had expected this, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and spoke softly.

"Let Eunuch Hou and the others in!"

Emperor Qing's behavior this time was obviously a lesson he had learned from the incident of the great ceremonial bell.

He did not give Liu Hong any room to resist and directly showed his ulterior motives, demonstrating his power as an emperor.

Liu Hong thought for a while, then stood up and went to greet Eunuch Hou in person.

In order to return the favor, Eunuch Hou risked his life to pass on the message to him. How could Liu Hong still be so arrogant and wait for Eunuch Hou to come in?

When Eunuch Hou saw Liu Hong coming to greet him personally, there were still some rice grains at the corners of his mouth and tears flowed on his round, plump face.

"Pei Gong! This old slave is incompetent..."

After saying this, Eunuch Hou couldn't help but kneel down, his tears wet his collar.

He is not a heartless person.

Since Liu Hong came to Beijing, he has been treated with great courtesy, given a lot of money, and given the East Factory, which increased his power.

After the Hanging Temple incident, it was Liu Hong who single-handedly protected Eunuch Hou and saved his life.

Now, even though Eunuch Hou wanted to help Liu Hong, he was powerless.

Because he was a eunuch, the emperor's slave, and without imperial power, he was nothing.

"Why do you say that, father-in-law? You have already helped me a lot."

Liu Hong spoke in a gentle voice, and with his steady and powerful arms, he firmly grasped Eunuch Hou, preventing him from kneeling down.

"Mr. Pei, His Majesty asked you to come to the palace. He wanted to ask you in person if you are attached to power."

Eunuch Hou looked at Liu Hong with tears in his eyes.

Liu Hong smiled gently and patted Eunuch Hou on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Please rest for a while in the mansion."

Then Liu Hong casually took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and walked towards the palace without looking back.

The imperial guards standing at the gate all bowed their heads to the General of Chariots and Cavalry, the Minister of War, and the Governor-General of Kyoto.

They were also full of respect.

After all, during his time in office, Liu Hong was corrupt, but at least he was able to get things done!

They actually received their monthly salary, and occasionally received winter and summer subsidies. The monthly letters from their wives and children were also delivered to them on time.

Dozens of imperial guards lowered their heads.

It seemed that they were not guarding Liu Hong into the palace, and they were not children who had made mistakes. Liu Hong laughed heartily.

"Why are you acting like a girl? I am the Lord of Pei! Even the Emperor cannot dismiss me from my position at will."

This sentence was said openly, but no one felt that there was anything wrong.

Even the secret agents of Emperor Qing who were hiding in the dark nodded in agreement.

The current status of Pei Gong is only slightly lower than that of the prime minister back then.

In the Shangshu Mansion, Eunuch Hou was feeling a little restless and wanted to turn around and leave.

He really didn't dare to see the angry faces of Liu Hong's generals and the resentful face of his wife.

"Eunuch Hou, you haven't had your meal yet!"

Sang Wen came over for some reason, smiling widely without any sign of resentment on his face.

On the contrary, I was genuinely happy about the arrival of Eunuch Hou.

Sang Wen gently pulled Eunuch Hou's arm and spoke softly.

"Father-in-law, my husband has already said that you have helped him a lot. You are his first benefactor in Kyoto."

"Although my husband is now the Duke of Pei, we still regard you as our elder in our hearts."

Eunuch Hou couldn't help but feel a sour nose.

Since he became a eunuch, he has never eaten with others.

The vague contemptuous looks have always been a pain in his heart.

But there was not a trace of that in Sang Wen's clear eyes.

After all, we are all from the lowest class, so why should we look down on each other?

Fan Ruoruo acted like a legal wife and looked at Sang Wen with a complicated expression.

She had the same idea, but she couldn't let go of her face. She was the legitimate daughter of a noble family, so how could she possibly eat with a eunuch?

Fan Ruoruo looked at Liu Ying, who was sleeping soundly after eating, and stroked his smooth jade-like face with her slender hands.

As a mother, she could never let go of her pride.

I hope Liu Ying can learn from Sang Wen and Liu Hong, instead of her.

Zhang Liang led Liu Hong's confidants, bowed, and spoke sincerely.

"Thank you, Eunuch Hou, for your repeated protection! We will always remember it in our hearts."

In fact, this is the normal behavior of the good-natured eunuch Hou. He says good things and never says bad things.

So as to avoid offending important people in the future.

Only Liu Hong always remembers this kindness.

Eunuch Hou's lips kept trembling. He sat in the main seat and slowly ate his meal under Sang Wen's persuasion.

In fact, the meal was not that delicious, but the standard was raised because of Fan Ruoruo.

It was just two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup, which was far inferior to the delicacies in the palace.

But Eunuch Hou ate it with special relish.

Because the food contains gratitude, respect, and recognition.

The palace was filled with an atmosphere of solemnity and solemnity.

After Liu Hong entered the palace, the imperial guards almost directly locked the palace gates. The meaning of precaution and warning was self-evident.

The commander of the imperial guards, Li Chengru, had been driven to Lin Wan'er's princess residence because of his good relationship with Liu Hong.

There, Fan Xian confronts the Second Prince.

The brainless Li Chengru thought that Emperor Qing wanted him to mediate the fight.

Little did he know that a Hongmen Banquet unique to Liu Hong was unfolding in the imperial palace.

Although Emperor Qing doesn't care about Liu Hong.

But in order to be on the safe side, Liu Hong had to take desperate measures and transferred all the garrison divisions, city defense troops, city defense troops, and the prince's guards to attack the palace.

In this way, even if the imperial guards win, the royal family will lose face.

So it was better to simply cut off Liu Hong’s connection with the outside world.

Liu Hong knew it well, but he just smiled disdainfully.

What a virtue! How long has he been in charge of these troops, and how long has Emperor Qing been their father and ruler?

As a result, Emperor Qing still doubted these troops and did not believe that his prestige could suppress everything.

A deputy commander of the imperial guards who looked like Yan Xiaoyi came to greet Liu Hong with an expressionless face.
