Royal road

In the Pingyang Great Hall, Liu Yuan supported the case with one hand and supported his knee with the other, only to feel the buzzing in his ears.What did he just hear?Shangdang defeated? More than half of the 3 horses lost?The coach died?

His family, Xuan Ming, died in battle?

"Ridiculous!" Liu Yuan yelled angrily, "Didn't Xuanming wear a cavalry outfit? There are so many fine cavalry! How could he be defeated?!"

The minister who reported the report was already in cold sweat, and kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, this time the Shangdang invited the Tuoba tribe to help out. They also used treacherous tricks to make the king of Chu fall. I heard thunder during the battle..."

He didn't dare to say any more.The rumor of the Buddha's son has long been taboo in the imperial court, and no one dares to raise the prestige of others in the palace.

Hearing the word thunder, Liu Yuan trembled all over his body, as if a long-winded nightmare rushed to his heart.Didn't Liang Zixi infer that the solar eclipse played?Didn't that say thunder could be some kind of trickery?Why does this happen again and again!Now even his most beloved son will be engulfed by this nightmare...

After trembling for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "Where is Xuan Ming's corpse?"

"This... all the soldiers of the King of Chu were killed in battle, and they have not been taken back..."

"Order the six armies to go out! I want to step down the Shangdang personally!!" After Liu Yuan ascended the throne, he often chose his words carefully, adopting the posture of an emperor.Now I don't even say "Zhen", obviously I am extremely angry.

Hearing this, the people on the steps fell to their knees, and Wang Yu, the servant, said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the army has marched to Hanoi and has not yet returned, so how can it be easy to raise troops? Besides, Luoyang is empty, so you can try it, but Bingzhou has a strong army. Tuoba's help, really can't be hasty!"

"Presumptuous! My son was killed by that thief. If I don't avenge this revenge, what kind of emperor am I?!" Liu Yuan was really angry, and directly reprimanded him.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" On the other side, Sikong Huyanyi also said, "Didn't we use Zhangxiu again when Weiwu Wancheng was defeated? A little unbearable will cause chaos!"

What Hu Yanyi said was also an old story.When Wei Wu was in the battle of Wancheng, his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin died, and even the fierce general Dian Wei died to protect him.But later, in order to attack Yuan Shao, Cao Cao accepted Zhang Xiu who had surrendered again, and held a banquet with his hands to clear up his suspicions.He even asked for Zhang Xiu's daughter for his son Cao Jun.

The death of Emperor Wei Wudi was the eldest son who wanted to inherit the family business. You only died as the fourth son, how could you be so messed up?Hu Yanyi's words are really righteous.However, as the father of Empress Huyan, he had long disliked Liu Cong, for fear that this prince favored by Liu Yuan would usurp Liu He's crown prince.Now that Liu Cong died suddenly, of course he wanted to persuade Liu Yuan to suppress his anger.

These words really made Liu Yuan dumb.As the new king, why doesn't he envy Wei Wu.But when the matter came to him, he knew it was difficult.Liu Cong is not another son, but his beloved son who has been by his side since he was weak.Being an official in the state of Jin together, and staying in another country as a hostage together, just this is enough to move Liu Yuan.What's more, Liu Cong is very filial. In order to prevent him from being suspected by the King of Chengdu, he even left the official position he just got and went to the King of Chengdu.

This son actually died, so dead that there was no corpse left!

Just thinking of this, Liu Yuan felt heartbroken and even had difficulty breathing.However, who would care about his thoughts?

Wang Yu has already spoken again: "Previously, the Taishi Ling said that Luoyang will be captured three years later, which shows that the power of the Jin Kingdom is not exhausted. Since this time it is not possible, it is better to withdraw troops and advance westward as soon as possible to recover Chang'an. Once Chang'an takes over, the foundation of the Han Kingdom Only then is it stable.”

This was also their previous strategic thinking, but Liu Yuan was always reluctant to give up the good opportunity of Sima Yue's expedition, and wanted to show his national prestige, so he took Luoyang.Unexpectedly, before Hanoi was captured, news of Shangdang's defeat came, and there was nothing to fight this time.

After a moment of silence, Liu Yuan slowly said: "Order West Road to withdraw troops and return to the court, and then make plans."

Seeing that he finally calmed down, Wang Yu also heaved a sigh of relief, and bowed his head in agreement.Liu Yuan didn't want to stay in the court hall, and soon left the court. Like a real old man, he staggered along the narrow corridor of Pingyang Palace to the harem.

"Liang Qing really won!" When he saw the head in the wooden box, Sima Tan didn't feel sick, on the contrary, he was full of excitement that he didn't misunderstand!

"Annihilated [-] enemies, and even killed the enemy's commander! This is a great victory! Have the soldiers and horses besieging Hanoi also retreated?" The little emperor turned his head and asked Wang Yan.

Wang Yan smiled and twisted his beard: "Exactly. The puppet Han was originally divided into two groups. Who would have expected Liu Cong to be defeated so simply. This time the siege of Luoyang can be regarded as resolved."

"As expected of Liang Qing!" The little emperor couldn't help but smile.

Since he took the throne, no one has taken his words seriously.Apart from sitting on the throne every day and being a mud-bodied wood sculpture, Sima Qin had no chance to exercise his power.Also beware of Sima Yue's covetous eyes, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he will make the other party jealous, drink a glass of poisoned wine, and lose his life for nothing.

It was precisely because of the trembling and trembling for so long that when he appointed the governor for the first time and supported him to win the battle, his complacency made people feel intoxicated.He can also appoint talents and use their abilities, and he can also control state affairs, even much better than Sima Yue!

However, this kind of thought was only born for a moment, and the little emperor woke up again, and took a peek at Wang Yan who was sitting beside him.This Wang Situ is Sima Yue's confidant, but he still can't make him suspicious.

With a light cough, Sima Tan said, "This time Liang Qing has made great contributions again, how should I reward him?"

Such a obedient tone of asking for advice gave Wang Yan a headache.It is a good thing that Liang Zixi relieved the siege of Luoyang, but how should he explain to Sima Yue?He should not like the news that the little emperor allocated grain without authorization, prompting Shangdang to win.If there are too many rewards, it will definitely make Sima unhappy.But there are too few rewards, so how can they reward this world-shattering achievement?

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yancai said: "Emissary Liang said in the victory report that Tuoba Xianbei came to help this time, and he has made great contributions. He wants to ask him to be named Daijun. Your Majesty will reward him."

He first talked about the Tuoba Department, just to share a little bit of credit for the party.Although Dai Commandery is in Youzhou, but it is remote and bitterly cold, and it was rewarded to the Tuoba Department, it is estimated that Sima Yue will not have any objections.

The little emperor nodded: "Naturally. Where's Liang Qing?"

Seeing the other party's reluctance, Wang Yan's mouth twitched, and he said calmly: "Liang Zixi only entered the county a few months ago, and he was promoted to the governor a few days ago, so it may not be appropriate to confer an official title. Why don't you wait and wait until the Zhengdan Dynasty It will be rewarded at the time, and this time it will be a good gift."

The little emperor frowned slightly.Waiting for Zhengdan Dachao to talk about it, wouldn't he want to hand over the right to reward him to his good uncle?How can such a small favor as gift to show that he values ​​it?

However, when the words came to his lips, they were not able to come out.The little emperor nodded silently: "Then follow what Situ said."

Now is not his strong point yet.Safeguarding oneself wisely is the best choice.

Seeing that the rights that had been used a little bit were taken away again, the little emperor endured and endured, and then said: "The generals in Hanoi should also be rewarded one or two."

Those guarding Hanoi are all from Sima Yue.This order was obviously a bow to Sima Yue.Wang Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty is more considerate."

After dealing with these personnel arrangements, Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But this head should be returned to Liu Yuanhai."

"What?" The little emperor suddenly raised his head, "Why do you want to send back the fake man? Isn't everyone punishing such a rebellious minister?!"

However, Wang Yan sighed softly: "Whether it is Liu Yuanhai or Liu Xuanming, they were my courtiers in the Jin Dynasty after all. Now that he is dead, it is really inappropriate to humiliate his corpse. Your Majesty should have a benevolent heart."

Sima Tan looked at the other's pitiful face and was speechless for a long time.benevolent?Liu Yuan's rebellious officials and thieves are about to perish from his Sima family, so why should they be kind to him?Is this fighting for his fame, or flattering the hypocrites?This Wang Yan, do you still remember which courtier you are?

"... What Situ said is true." Clenching his fists tightly, the little emperor replied in a low voice.

The fire that was pressing in his chest was burning more and more intensely.One day, like Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, he will use his clothes to summon his loyal ministers to save him, and kill these rebels who control the government!It's just that he won't be as stupid as Liu Xie and be caught by Cao Cao.Sima Yue must die!Wang Yan must die!Just be patient for a while longer, when he grows up and has more confidantes, then he can do this thunderous blow!

No matter how the dark tide surged in Luoyang Palace, the head was finally matched with a wooden body and sent back to Pingyang.Maybe it's this weird "benevolence" that got the fake man's gratitude.The battle between Hongnong and Hanoi has calmed down just like that.Bingzhou also ushered in the long-lost peace.

Half a month later, the soldiers and horses stationed in Shangdang were divided into several groups and returned to their respective camps.All the garrison troops were also disarmed and joined the tense winter plowing and reclamation.In a few days, the winter solstice will come, and we must hurry up to plant.

But not everyone does.Another group of soldiers and horses bid farewell to Shangdang, guarding several carriages, and marched slowly towards Jinyang.

a few days later.

"Father!" Liang Rong almost ran, rushing into Liang Feng's arms.

This is not in etiquette, but how could Liang Feng take offense?Stretching out his hand to touch the horns of his son's head, he said softly: "These days, is Rong'er afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, my son!" Liang Rong's voice was raised twice, "My son has also learned a lot about the art of war from General Yi!"

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked up, and met those blue eyes.The smile on his lips suddenly faded, and Liang Feng said softly: "Boyuan has worked hard in this battle."

Yiyan didn't answer, but just gave him a Liangfu military salute.That appearance doesn't look like expressing merit, but rather like expressing his thoughts.

The hand on Liang Rong's shoulder tightened a little, Liang Feng said with a smile: "The journey is tiring, let's go to the mansion to rest."

Liang Rong didn't notice the strangeness of the people around him, and happily took his father's hand and walked towards this strange governor's mansion.Behind the two, Yiyan paused and followed.
