At night, the candlelight in the study flickered from time to time, and the flames were rising and falling, just like jumping onto the eaves and ridges. The stove in the room emitted heat, trying to drive away the coldness of the cold winter, but this world still accommodated most of the coldness, and the biting coldness could still penetrate into the chest and rush straight into the depths of the soul, making people feel uncomfortable.

Liu Shi secretly looked back on his thoughts and asked: "Why haven't the whole country heard a slightest sound of the storm for this serious crime? He did not eliminate officials three years ago, but took action at this time, what would he think?"

Liu Qingyuan looked at Liu Shian and said, "You are honest. Although it is a blessing for you and my life to be free, it is also a death sentence. If you talk about why the new emperor suddenly broke out, I thought about it carefully. You know that I am very cautious. I will write two documents submitted to the palace, one will be kept and the other will be handed over to the heavenly listening. I found a memorandum written by Yongquan to the old emperor in the fifth year of Yongquan."

Liu Qingyuan said this and threw an old note on the table to Liu Shian. The paper of the note was left with some traces. It was obvious that the paper used to write the note in the old emperor period.

Liu Shi secretly opened the document and carefully read the time and contents of the book, and then his face turned bad.

This document was written by Liu Qingyuan to report his political achievements to the old emperor Muze in the fifth year of Yongquan when he was the governor of Huzhou. The document once said a few words to praise the old emperor for his kindness in governing the country and sympathizing with the people's livelihood, and also mentioned the opinions of the kings of Yongquan's five years of Yongquan's excessive military power."

Liu Qingyuan saw the rebellious son and said, "The country has recently rectified the old documents, and maybe it happened to be found here, so it is difficult to have such a crime." Liu Shi said in surprise: "Is it wrong to say that the country is prosperous and the people are stable and the people are stable?" Liu Qingyuan shook his head and said, "The king's temperament is like this. If he is not satisfied, everything will be wrong. If he is satisfied, the people in the world will commit a death sentence, he will not think that it is wrong. This matter will end here, and you and I will not talk about it anymore."

Liu Shi remained silent for a long time and said, "How would that person deal with us?"

Governor Liu was very dissatisfied with the title of "that man" he mentioned. He knew that this rebellious son had always been like this, so he did not investigate it deeply and said, "The emperor exempted us from the crime of death, but he still handed us over to the Criminal Prison Department and the Ministry of Justice and other departments to convict us."

It turned out that although the new emperor spared the lives of the Liu family because his daughter was vain for his death, Long Yan was furious. Even if Princess Chengping agreed to the marriage of Xizi, she still did not spare the two of them easily.

Liu Qingyuan was the remnant of the previous dynasty and should have died after giving wine. He was demoted to Xizhou because of his outstanding achievements. He was demoted to Xizhou from the position of Yunting Censor and the magistrate of Ganyu County, Xizhou, in charge of documents, prisons and other matters. He was not allowed to be promoted within ten years.

Liu Shi secretly offended the saint, refused to be court rituals, and insulted the saint. He should have been executed. The new emperor thought that he was still young and exiled Dongzhou, and was not allowed to leave Dongzhou within ten years. He set off immediately on November 13th. If he did not go to Dongzhou to report in time, or escaped, he would execute Liu Qingyuan and Cui Lingran.

Cui Lingran is Liu Shinan’s mother.

Listening to his father's words, Liu Shian roughly understood the viciousness of punishment: "One East and West continents, across most of the magistrates, relatives cannot meet each other, and they are all remote and remote places, worse than Huzhou, which is vicious. And if you go there, you may not be able to block the road, robbery, or diseases, or even jackals may be in charge, but this really costs your life."

Liu Qingyuan listened to his son's nagging and replied: "Ten years are not long. You go to Dongzhou alone and be more careful on the way. Your mother and I are taken care of by Xiao Qingci and others, so we cannot make a mistake."

Liu Shi secretly knew that this was his father's words of comfort and said, "Don't worry, your son's life is hard. The life of a playboy in Huzhou is not in vain. It's just that Princess Chengping will marry Xizi in a few years. Although the throne of this country has alternated, it still has strong strength. It is very possible to fight against Xizi and the invasion of the Great Wei, pacify the world and unify the four sides. How can we need marriage? Take Chengping as a victim of politics."

Liu Qingyuan said: "If it were in the old emperor's period, it might be possible to achieve the great cause of unification. However, although the emperor now has great power, it is just the dispersion of military power. The three pillars of the state dynasty jointly restrict the emperor. The appointment and removal of six ministries and local officials will take a long time to form a state dynasty. The most important thing is that the northern army of the Great Wei Dynasty has almost half the battle with the state dynasty in recent years. Facing a strong enemy, the Xizi Kingdom in the West is stable and not to be attacked on both sides. It is the truth. Marriage was also a plan at that time."

Liu Shinan didn't know the situation on all sides of the country. He heard this time, but he just thought about Princess Chengping as a political victim, but he was absolutely unwilling to do it. Liu Qingyuan knew that his child was thinking, so he said a few words, just that if he could escape from the blame as soon as possible, or if the country was single-minded, this marriage would be unrestrained and could not be done in real life.

On this stormy night, the father and son said a lot of things in detail. Thinking of the next five or ten years, they could not meet each other, and a kind of sadness was spread. During this period, the thirteen-year-old boy cried once, but his relatives were still there, but they could not meet each other. It was even more vicious than death. During this period, Xiao Qingci also sent some hot chicken, mushroom porridge, and side dishes. On this stormy night, the two of them were drinking hot porridge and talking about homely.

Seeing that it was late at night, Liu Shinan wanted to go back to his room to rest. Liu Qingyuan needed to write a republic of guilt, so he asked Liu Shinan to go back and rest. The two of them said a few words to rest early, but it was no problem.

Just as Liu Shi was about to close the study room door, at that moment, he suddenly remembered something, pushed open the study room door, staring at Liu Qingyuan. Liu Qingyuan was startled. It was night and the wind and rain were storms. Pushing the door so quickly was really scary. He asked hurriedly: "Nizi, please move less, don't startle your mother to fall asleep."

Liu Shi swallowed his saliva secretly and said, "Father, today is not the twelve days?" Liu Qingyuan said, "I thought it was something, no." Liu Shi calmed down in his heart and said, "I scared me, I thought it was the twelve days, so I will have to leave you tomorrow."

Liu Shinan said dissatisfiedly: "Look at you like this. You just got the update. Today is the thirteenth day. You are about to set off for Dongzhou at noon today."

"Ah!" Liu Shi exclaimed inwardly.

Liu Qingyuan said, "There is another thing that I forgot to tell you that the Lord has given you a marriage."

Liu Shi was confused: "Give marriage? What are these things? Could it be that Princess Chengping gave me marriage? This is not right."

Liu Qingyuan said: "Of course it's not Princess Chengping. Maybe it's to make Princess Chengping give up. It's to give up. You may have a marriage match. Maybe your fiancée will come to you tomorrow."

Liu Shinan was shocked: "You say it's true and false, don't cheat your son."

Governor Liu knocked on the case of the book and said seriously: "This is an imperial edict, how can I fake it? But I feel wronged that this woman has met you, a rebellious son." Liu Shian disagreed with these words and said: "I don't like to hear what you say. Who can I marry?"

"Qi Yuanxue."

"Stop kidding, Dad."

Liu Qingyuan looked at his son seriously, with no joking on his face.

"real?"

"real."

"I took away all your collection of books."

"I won't lie to you."

Liu Shi jumped up secretly: "That's one of the four evil people in the world! If I betrothed to this person, how can I live in the future? Can I quit? Can I escape the marriage? Can I refuse? Father, I have peace in my heart."

Liu Qingyuan shook his head and signaled that he could do nothing, after all, it was the emperor's marriage.

"Father, think of a way for the child."

Liu Qingyuan grinded some ink and spread a blank note again, saying, "If you violate the order, behead you immediately. If you are not afraid of death, please write a letter and resign. Leave quickly and don't bother me. The night is already dark and there are so many documents that need to be written."

Liu Shi closed the door of the book silently, a little panicked, a little worse than death.
