Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Huaisu looked at Liu Yu motionlessly, and said, "Brother Jinu, I have no children under my knees. I have already agreed with my third brother to let Weizu come to the heir. This is not only for my family, but also for the whole family. If there is no successor, then my title will be gone. This is not good for your great cause."

Liu Yu sighed softly: "Now your Dongxing County, Shiyi Thousand Households, is second only to the Big Three, Dao Gui, Tie Niu and other elders among the generals in the Beifu. But this is your life. Those who fight back will definitely be reserved for you, but..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused: "Wei Zu is not yet seven years old and he is still unable to play meritorious service. Although Rong Zu is Huai Shen's eldest son, you have loved this child since childhood. You strictly train his martial arts and military skills, even In our Jingkou, we also won the fighting contest of the previous year. If you want a heir, why don't you find him?"

Liu Huaisu shook his head: "We country folks don’t pay attention to such things as concubines. If Huai Shen hadn’t been too poor before, he wouldn’t have married a maid as his wife and gave birth to a glorious ancestor. This poor woman would have died early. Rongzu is left alone. If my uncle doesn’t take him in, he won’t be able to gain a foothold in Huaishen’s house. Not all stepmothers are as reasonable as your mother.”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But Rongzu has your uncle, it is his luck. You raised him as your own son, taught him martial arts, and let him grow up. In my opinion, he is very good to his father. I didn't treat you well."

Liu Huaisu sighed: "When my mother-in-law was pregnant with her first child, she was poor and had no meat to eat. In the end, her body was injured by a dystocia and she would never be able to conceive again. And I never marry a concubine because we are a distressed couple and cannot bear her. So, she has always regarded Rongzu as her own son. But the more this happens, the less I can let Rongzu inherit my title."

Liu Yu frowned: "Why is this? I can't think of another reason."

Liu Huaisu hooked his mouth: "Because Rong Zu is good enough, his martial arts and art of war are no longer under me, and he will definitely be able to do his own work in the future, and his personality is similar to me, and his heart is proud. He is unwilling to accept charity from others. If this title is just given to him, he will feel insulted instead. This is the man from the old Liu family, a true man!"

Liu Yu laughed: "Indeed, true man. But although Weizu is young, he is also learning martial arts, now he goes to school with his brother Xing every day, but Wu Yi has heard that he has not fallen behind. You want to adopt Weizu, Don’t you be afraid of facing the same problem?"

Liu Huaisu sighed: "Brother Jinu, let me tell you the truth, you want the Northern Expedition, no more than ten years. Now Rongzu can follow you to fight in all directions and make contributions, but Weizu has even smaller virtues. , They, they may not be able to wait until that time. Moreover, if you want to overwhelm Xi Le and overwhelm Wuji, you have to let your brothers, nephews and nephews build more merits, and now the Liu family, Zhao family, and Xiao family , Including the nominal Zang family adult men, how many are available?"

Liu Yu frowned deeply: "Huaisu, I am really touched. You are still thinking about the future of our Liu family."

Liu Huaisu gritted his teeth: "Brother Jinu, I know that you are the most righteous and kind to your brothers, but don't forget that the affection between brothers is never comparable to that of blood. Just like when you were a kid, The birth mother died early and there was no milk. If it weren’t for the relationship between the two brothers and sisters of the Liu family and the Zhao family at the same time, we would kiss each other, my mother, my mother, how could she be weaned? , Come and feed you? Fight the tiger, beat the tiger brothers, go on, fight the father and son, father and son soldier, me, me..." He said here, his face became darker and he coughed violently. It is impossible to continue.

Liu Yu quickly lifted Liu Huaisu up, hammering his chest and rubbing his back. After doing this for a long time, Liu Huaisu let out a sigh of relief. Liu Yu helped him lie down and said softly: "Huaisu, don't get too excited, your I understand that I should take care of the place of our Liu family. I will definitely consider it. In the future, I will keep Rongzu by my side and give him a chance to make merits, let Weizu inherit your title, and let Huai Shen Become the county guard."

A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Huaisu's eyes, and he turned to shook his head and said: "No, Huaijing him, how can he be like this..."

Liu Yu said solemnly, "Isn't it because of me that he was like this? If it wasn't for my aunt who weaned him to breastfeed me, how could he be today? I can let Dao Lian be the Pengcheng’s internal history can give Huai Shen the post of county guard and internal history to show the world!"

Liu Huaisu sighed, "But, if you don't know how to use people and get paid without merit, didn't you ruin the rules you made yourself? How can you convince the public?"

Liu Yu sighed: "It's not a bad rule. Dao Lian also raised troops with us in Beijing and also fought in battle. I divided a part of my military merits to him. This time, Liu Yi also distributed a lot of military merits to him. Those children from aristocratic families who sit in the back and don’t visit the battlefield in person can do this, so why can’t I take care of my family? Now Huaijing doesn’t do meritorious service, and it’s not good for officials, but I promise you that when I come to the Northern Expedition. , Will definitely bring him, will definitely give him military merit!"

A hint of joy flashed across Liu Huaisu's face: "Then I would like to thank Brother Ji Nu, UU reading www.uukanshu.com with your words, even if I die, I can also stare."

Liu Yu's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Huaisu, speak carefully. You can't talk nonsense about some things!"

Liu Huaisu smiled slightly: "Okay, Brother Ji Nu, needless to say this, while I still have the strength, I still want to tell you, our old Liu family, our old Liu family still has people available, Huai Shen, Huai Shen Although he is taciturn, he, his bravery is no less than mine, and the art of war, the art of war is also very strong, before, he has been following me before, just like the Taoist rules have been behind you, unknown, in the future In the future, you can use Huaishen more, more use, more use Rongzu, they, they won't let you down, won't, won't let our old Liu family be ashamed!"

Liu Yuzheng said: "I know that Huai Shen is very capable, so I always let him be your deputy. From now on, I will let him take over your military post, lead your tribe, and continue to fight. You can rest assured."

Liu Huaisu was relieved with a sigh of relief: "In addition, the clan brother Liu Zunkao, although he is young, only eighteen or nine years old, he is also a famous warrior in Jingkou, and your uncle Zhao Lunzhi, who is both civil and military, can be very useful. , Zang’s family, Zang’s Erxizi, and Xiao Taozi, all of whom have been in the military for many years and have a good experience. These, these are our family members, brother Ji Nu, you, you must measure carefully Talent, use only according to your capacity!"

Having said this, his face was suddenly red, and he straightened up suddenly: "Brother Ji Nu, when you regain Chang'an, remember, remember to take me to see..." His fingers pointed to the distance, his face There is still a smile on him, but he is motionless and breathless!

Liu Yu was already in tears and nodded vigorously: "Brother, eldest brother must take you to Chang'an!"
