Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 726 Shameless
Two days later, in the Queen's bedroom.

Zhang Yu sat in front of a spinning wheel, weaving a piece of silk brocade. After Liu He exchanged the book "Records of Divine Works", Zhang Yu chose from many options and finally chose the skill that women are best at - weaving. On weekdays, she, the queen mother, her biological mother, and many palace maids worked together in the harem, weaving the silk specially sent by the Zhen family into pieces of silk, and then handed them over to the Zhen family to sell.

With Zhang Yu's intelligence and character, plus her special attribute of being a "home helper", once she sets her mind to doing something, it won't take long for her to excel. Under her guidance, the craftsmanship of the women in the palace improved rapidly, and the silk they wove was exceptionally exquisite.

Zhang Yu gave part of the money from the sale to the palace maids as extra compensation for their work in the palace, and saved the rest. Although it has only been less than two years, there are now tens of millions of savings in the inner court under the control of the queen. This is because when the empress dowager was ill and Diao Chan was pregnant, she, as the queen, often took out the money from the inner court to buy supplements and gifts, spending a lot.

At this time, Zhang Yu was weaving while looking happily at the distance. She saw Liu He playing with his almost three-year-old daughter Liu Qian, and teaching Liu Zheng martial arts from time to time. In the cradle beside them, Liu De, who was not even one year old, was sleeping soundly. It was a scene of family happiness.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, Sister Diao Chan is about to give birth, you should go visit her more often."

Liu He didn't even raise his head, he just lay on the ground, letting his daughter ride on his neck and use him as a horse.

"I have visited her quite often in the past few months. Wen Ruo said that the power of the Wang family in Taiyuan is growing rapidly and asked me to use Diao Chan to get closer to her so as to balance the situation in the court. I listened to her. However, Qian'er has not seen her father for many days and has been crying and making a fuss these days. I should come to accompany her."

"Ahhh... Daddy... Daddy... Ahhhh..."

Liu Qian was having a lot of fun playing with Liu He's neck. Suddenly, Liu He felt his neck getting hot.

"Oh, this girl peed her pants..."

When Zhang Yu heard this, she ran over and carried Liu Qian down: "Your Majesty, please go into the house and wash up and change your clothes."

"Puchi..." Liu Zheng, who was practicing sword not far away, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Liu He lost face in front of his eldest son, and his face immediately became stern: "What are you laughing at? How can you practice sword fighting like this? You are not concentrating at all. I will punish you to do 100 one-handed push-ups!"

"Ah? Father, this is not fair..." Liu Zheng looked sad.

"You dare to talk about fairness with the emperor? You are so rebellious, why don't you go away! If you dare to talk back to your father again, I will ask your Master Da Meng to teach you."

Liu He scolded him and then quickly ran back to the house.

When Liu Zheng heard what Master Dameng said, his face turned pale and he quickly lay down and started doing push-ups.

Since he was eight years old, Liu He invited many generals in the army to teach him martial arts. Guan Yu and others treated him better than their own sons. Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others treated him like a monarch and his subjects, and like a master and his servant. No matter how strict they were, they did not dare to really burden the eldest son of the emperor.

But Da Meng was different. This guy was not very clear-headed. In his eyes, the identity of the eldest prince was not as useful as a soybean. When "Big Brother Liu" asked him to be tougher on Liu Zheng, he did not hesitate at all. Every time it was Da Meng's turn to teach Liu Zheng, he would be so tired that he couldn't even stand up. So in Liu Zheng's eyes, Master Da Meng was definitely the person he feared the most.

He was being punished when suddenly someone outside the courtyard started shouting.

"General, His Majesty has ordered that he cannot see anyone while he is in the Queen's Palace..."

"Get lost! If you weren't women, I would have beaten you up long ago. I have something important to discuss with my brother, so get out of here..."

Then, a tall figure ran in and saw Liu Zheng doing push-ups at a glance.

"Haha, nephew, have you angered your father again? Are you being punished here? You only remember to eat but not to be beaten."

As soon as Liu Zheng saw this man, he immediately called for help: "Uncle San, help me..."

Cheng Liang crossed his arms and said, "Hey, save you? You can pull it off. Third Uncle is here to ask your father for help. How can I make your father unhappy just to save you? Just do it well."

Liu He and Zhang Yu heard his voice and came out of the house.

"Gong Yi, aren't you at Hulao Pass? How come you have time to come to the palace? It just so happens that your father-in-law has sent a few gold items over. Let your sister-in-law take you to pick out two."

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, Liu Zheng stood up and ran outside.

"Hey, who told you to get up? If you don't finish a hundred of them, you won't be allowed to eat today."

However, Liu Zheng ignored him and turned his head to make a face: "If the emperor does not cancel my punishment, I will tell my third uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle and others about what happened just now."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Liang immediately became interested: "Just now? What happened just now?" Liu Zheng came over with a mysterious look on his face, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Liu He in a harsh voice.

"Hey, your grandmother sent someone to call you over. She said she has prepared some snacks for you. Go eat first and then come back to practice martial arts."

Liu Zheng grinned and ran away.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Zheng'er is much smarter than you were when you were a child."

When Liu He heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Although Cheng Liang was not very smart, when he saw this scene, he could guess that something had happened that made Liu He, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, embarrassed, so he stopped asking questions.

"Hey, forget about the gold. I only have one wife and one concubine. The gold, silver and jade in my house are enough for those two women to wear. More is useless. Besides, my father-in-law will send some every year. You should keep the ones in the palace for yourself."

"You kid, you're still acting cute after getting the advantage. Do you think Big Brother doesn't know? What do you mean by one wife and one concubine? You have another woman in a small house in the east of the city. In addition, one of the eight most popular girls in Yunxiang Pavilion, the number one brothel in South City, is your old lover. She won't even see other customers except you. How can you pretend to be a pure man in front of Big Brother? You better pull it off."

Cheng Liang looked annoyed: "Hey, I knew that Lao Wu's mouth was unreliable. If he knew, the whole world would know it sooner or later."

"Come on, come on, this is not a big deal. Okay, what do you want to say when you come to the palace this time?"

Seeing Liu He asking the question, Cheng Liang did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Brother, I really have an unreasonable request this time, and you must agree to it."

Liu He was stunned. "Oh? The sun is rising from the west. Third brother also needs help from others? Haha, this makes eldest brother curious. Tell me more."

Cheng Liang shook his head: "No, big brother has to agree to my request first, then I can tell you."

Hearing this, Liu He and Zhang Yu looked at each other, only to find it a little funny: "How can I agree if you don't even tell me?"

Zhang Yu poured tea for both of them, and then said, "If my guess is correct, Third Uncle must have seen General Gao and his men go to war at Hulao Pass, and he was eager to see them, so he came all the way here, right?"

"Oh my!" Cheng Liang slapped the table and said, "Sister-in-law, you are really the smartest person in the world."

He looked at Liu He: "Big brother, you have assigned tasks to Lao Gao, Lao Wu, Xiangzi, Zhang Junyi, and the others. Second brother has also led troops to Jizhou, and fourth brother is on the front line in Liangzhou. Only I have nothing to do. How frustrated I am? Big brother, you must send me out today. You can fight anyone, Cao Cao, Liu Yan, or if that doesn't work, Gongsun Zan has been restless recently. I might as well go and take back Youzhou. Isn't that simple?"

Liu He was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why not let you stay at home for a while? Your concubine is about to give birth again, right? You can spend some time with her. It's a good intention, but you don't appreciate it."

"Hey, what's there to accompany? A real man should be out there making achievements. How can you stay in the boudoir with your wife all day? Anyway, I don't care. Last time you went west, you left me behind. This time, you have to assign me a task anyway."

Seeing Cheng Liang's relentless attitude, Liu He was helpless.

At this time, Zhang Yu said, "It's a good thing that Third Uncle has this intention. I think if I don't agree to it today, he will definitely not give up."

"Sister-in-law is right. If big brother doesn't agree to my request, I will... then..."

He suddenly knelt in front of Liu He and said, "I can't get up from my knees anymore."

Liu He quickly helped him up: "When did you learn such a shameless trick? I promise you."

Cheng Liang was overjoyed: "Haha, Zhou Ping's plan is indeed... um..."

He realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

Liu He smiled helplessly: "I knew it, someone is really behind you. But since Zhou Ping asked you to come, he must have an idea of ​​where to send you, right?"

Cheng Liang grinned, "Of course. This is a memorial from Military Advisor Cui. He said that he was originally going to the palace to see the emperor, but he happened to meet me, so he asked me to bring it here. He will lead a group of officials under the command of the Inspector of the Capital to several counties near Sanguan to maintain stability."

Liu He took it, looked at it for a few seconds, and then his eyes lit up.
