"Your Majesty, these are the prey hunted by the soldiers under the command of Weichen from the mountains, Your Majesty is in front, Weichen does not dare to enjoy it alone, and I have come to offer it to Your Majesty. ”

Yang Feng led the soldiers and pushed several cartloads of game to Liu Xie's camp.

Since getting some advice from Zhao Yun, Yang Feng has decided to serve Yuan Chang and unswervingly follow in the footsteps of Youzhou Mu. Subsequently, under Xu Shu's instructions, while Dong Cheng was away, Yang Feng worked hard to curry favor with Liu Xie, and slowly gained Liu Xie's attention and recognition.

Previously, because of the famine in Chang'an, there was no food produced in many places, and Liu Xie's life could be described as hard. Then, because he had to return to Luoyang, under the pursuit and killing of Li Dao and Guo Yan and others, life was even tighter, and it would be good to be able to ensure that there was food to eat, not to mention meat; although later, after the arrival of Cao Cao and Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses, there was no pursuit and killing by Li Dao, but most of the food was the military rations of the soldiers, and the meat was still not much. Moreover, Liu Xie's age has not yet reached the stage of getting rid of appetite, and he still has some pursuit of food. Cao Cao assured that Liu Xie would not starve, and he thought that after making Liu Xie feel the pain, it would be more helpful for his subsequent plans, and Xu Shu did not have any superfluous moves, which was also to give Yang Feng more opportunities to play.

So, under Yang Feng's actions of offering wild meat every once in a while, Liu Xie felt even more in his heart that Yang Feng was a great loyal minister.

"Aiqing has a heart, since Uncle Guo left, there are few credible people around me, and Aiqing must be one of them. ”

Liu Xie did not hesitate to praise him, and promised many benefits in his mouth, but he only waited for Luoyang to be promoted to the rank of knight. Anyway, it just makes Yang Feng feel that I won't forget your goodness. Yang Feng was naturally pleased with Liu Xie's reaction, so that he could better fulfill Xu Shu's entrustment, although he had not yet met Yuan Chang. But wouldn't it be better to go and see you with merit when the time comes.

Of course, Liu Xie also sighed a little, and he hadn't tasted fine wine for a long time. However, Xu Shu and they can't satisfy Liu Xie at this point. Although Zhao Yun still had some fine wine, they didn't dare to let Yang Feng take it to Liu Xie at this time. Otherwise, when Liu Xie asked where Yang Feng came from, how would he answer?

Could it be that Xu Shu and they gave him to let him curry favor with Liu Xie? If Yang Feng found out that he had something to do with Xu Shu and them, I am afraid that Liu Xie would immediately alienate Yang Feng; of course, he couldn't tell Liu Xie that he had already taken it with him, so if he didn't take it out a long time ago and only took it out now, this would be looking down on him Liu Xie? As for saying that it had just been brewed, it wasn't. Now that the food is scarce, he has been hunted down and killed before, if Yang Feng said that he was in the mood to make wine, it is estimated that Liu Xie would be scolded, I was chased and killed by thieves, you are still in the mood to make wine, this is the work of loyal ministers? Therefore, in order not to let things backfire, the wine can only make Liu Xie regret.

"The minister has the grace of His Majesty's knowledge, not because the minister is despicable, and the minister can only repay the grass and the ring, how dare he have the slightest slackness. ”

Yang Feng also sent a bunch of good words at the right time, in short, to express a meaning: I am a thief, Your Majesty reuses me regardless of previous suspicions, in addition to using my life to repay Your Majesty's kindness, what else can I use to repay it? Anyway, the two monarchs and ministers get along, and the picture is touching, so I almost hugged my head and cried. However, now that there are no worries, Liu Xie will naturally not cry anymore. So, it can only be expressed in words.

After Yang Feng left, the national abbot stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Yang Feng is so flattering to Your Majesty, I am afraid that there is a plan, Your Majesty should be cautious." ”

"Guozhang's words are wrong!"

Liu Xie retorted, and said confidently: "Yang Feng was born as a Yellow Turban thief before, and later joined the imperial court, and when Dong Zhuo's thieves were in rebellion, he joined Li Dao's command; Moreover, because Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao and Youzhou Mu Yuan often came to help, Yang Feng felt uneasy, so he tried his best to curry favor with me, just to let me remember his loyalty. In that case, I will reward him with a future. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Chang came to my aid, they each occupied a state and had a large number of soldiers and horses under their command, so if I didn't have soldiers and horses, how could I control them in my hands? If I only relied on Uncle Guo's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that I would not be able to do it, but if I added Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, I could deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Chang. As long as I subdue Cao Cao and Yuan Chang again in time, then the revival of the Han dynasty is just around the corner. Therefore, Yang Feng still has some effect now, and the national abbot must not have such words again, if it falls into Yang Feng's ears, I am afraid it will not be good. ”

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers are beyond the reach of the dust, so you should be careful in the future. Fu Wan praised respectfully, but he still felt uncertain in his heart.

Yang Feng had already joined Liu Xie's side, but his behavior on weekdays did not show how respectful he was to Liu Xie, and as for the threat of Yuan Chang and Cao Cao, Fu Wan didn't think that Yang Feng would think so much. Therefore, if someone instructs it, then Yang Feng's purpose is somewhat intriguing. Besides, to tell the truth, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng's soldiers and horses are several times more, and they are not enough to see in front of Cao Cao and Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses. Of course, Liu Xie is now a little self-confident, and he can't continue to say more. After all, he is only the head of the country, and his status in the imperial court is not up or down, and he is not as useful as Yang Biao and them. Once Liu Xie is angered and his daughter is affected, it will not be good at that time.

"Well, the prince will step aside, and after the imperial chef has prepared the game, I will send some to the master. There are still many places where I need to rely on the ruler in the future, and the ruler must take care of his health. After all, he is the son of his own queen, and he is one of the few people who can be trusted now, and Liu Xie still cares for him appropriately. The public is public, and the private is private, Liu Xie thinks that he still has a good grasp of this.

"Your Majesty, the ministers should take care of themselves and continue to serve the country!"

After leaving, Liu Xie asked the three princes and nine kings to come in for discussion. There are now only five people left in Jiuqing, and the remaining four have been killed in the previous battle. Now that he has not returned to Luoyang, he is not in a hurry to fill the vacancies of the four; moreover, because the previous government has been controlled by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, Liu Xie, who can be trusted among the remaining ministers, does not dare to guarantee it. Therefore, he can't be in a hurry, and he doesn't dare to be in a hurry, so he can only develop slowly.

It was not far from Luoyang, so Liu Xie summoned these people to discuss state affairs. For example, the situation in the world, how to deal with it, and so on. It took more than an hour to deliberate before it was settled. Of course, Liu Xie also divided some of the game, after all, in today's situation, it is still good to use some game to buy people's hearts.

"Your Majesty Longen, the ministers are cheeky!"

Liu Xie appreciated the game, if these high-ranking ministers had been in the past, they would definitely not have looked down on them, and when it came to their status, they had never tasted any game. However, it is different now, they have not tasted meat for a long time, and they themselves don't care, but among the family members, there are many children, and they have long been clamoring for meat. It's just that the few domestic servants and guards are a little overstretched, where do they dare to send out to hunt, in case something happens, their escort strength is afraid to be even weaker. Therefore, they are sincerely excited about Liu Xie's reward. However, most of these ministers were loyal to the imperial court, and Liu Xie's intentions were not in vain.

In the days that followed, Yang Feng also sent something to Liu Xie from time to time. In today's time when materials are scarce, the things sent by Yang Feng can be described as satisfying, and Liu Xie is no exception, and he attaches more and more importance to Yang Feng. And Fu Wan also secretly sent someone to monitor Yang Feng, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

This is natural, after Xu Shu met Yang Feng once, he no longer had contact with Yang Feng, and Zhao Yun and Han Sui had no contact with Yang Feng except for official business. After all, Yang Feng's sudden dedication will definitely attract the attention of others, and it is best for everyone to keep their distance until the matter is completely over. Based on Xu Shu's caution, he also saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Fu Wan knew that Xu Shu and Yang Feng were in contact, and once he informed Liu Xie, he was afraid that many previous efforts would be wasted.

"Your Majesty, General Dong Cheng has sent news that most of the Luoyang Imperial Palace has been repaired, and only a few places are difficult to complete in a short period of time because of the difficult fortifications. ”

The Luoyang Palace was burned by Dong Zhuo, and after repairs, there was no problem with residents. As for the rest, I'm afraid it's not so easy. However, he was finally about to return to the capital, and Liu Xie was also relieved. After all, Luoyang is the capital of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and Liu Xie feels that staying in Luoyang can still make him feel much more at ease, after all, he is blessed by his ancestors.

"Uncle Guo's great achievements are incredible, and I will never forget it!"

The person who came to deliver the letter was Dong Cheng's confidant, and Liu Xie tried his best to praise it, and this word would naturally fall into Dong Cheng's ears. After pondering for a moment, Liu Xie ordered again: "Now it is only more than twenty miles away from Luoyang, speed up the march, I hope to sleep in the Luoyang Palace tomorrow night." ”

Liu Xie said a word, and the people below naturally broke their legs. Twenty miles of road, normal walking on foot for an hour can walk more than ten miles, under the armor of the infantry, an hour of ten miles is not a problem; however, now this team is mixed, there are hundreds of officials, servants, family members, old people, children, etc., maybe there are many pregnant women, so the speed is not fast. Twenty miles, according to the size of the team, at least four or five days. However, now that Liu Xie has said that he will sleep in the Luoyang Palace at night, naturally everything will be carried out according to Liu Xie's requirements.

Thanks to the efforts of many officials, they made careful arrangements, and if there was any unnecessary or unhurried situation, they could slowly go to Luoyang in the rear, while Liu Xiehe and some officials, honor guards, and other people or things were at the forefront of the procession, speeding up towards Luoyang.

And here, Xu Shu also came to Liu Xie to report.

"Your Majesty, Youzhou Mu has sent someone to send someone to report that he is already crossing the river with all his might. If it is fast, it will be able to reach Luoyang City tomorrow night, and at the latest, it will be able to arrive early the morning after tomorrow. ”

"Good!"

Liu Xie shouted with a look of surprise and said, "Youzhou Mu Zhongjun is patriotic, and I feel the same way. If Youzhou Mu arrives, I should personally greet him. Xu Yuanzhi, you keep an eye on it, be sure to inform Yu Zhen of the news of Youzhoumu's arrival as soon as possible, and you can't delay it. ”

"Your Majesty has an order, how dare the grass people slack off!"

Xu Shu was Yuan Chang's deputy military advisor, and he was not an official of the imperial court. Of course, Xu Shu is willing to call himself a 'minister', and Liu Xie will not mind if he thinks about it. However, Xu Shu naturally didn't think that he was Liu Xie's subordinate, so he still regarded himself as a grass people. And Liu Xie is witty, but the experience of officialdom is still not enough, otherwise, he naturally understands the difference, and I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied with Xu Shu.

The next day, before the sun set, Liu Xie's frame slowly drove into Luoyang City, looking at the slightly dilapidated Luoyang City, Liu Xiehe and the accompanying officials felt that something was wrong. After the dark period of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan, now it is finally bitter. Whether it is Liu Xie or Baiguan, they all have a high fighting spirit, and they want to restore the Han family, so that they will not experience that kind of past again. I don't know if it was to show his sincerity, Liu Xie also specially asked Yuan Chang about the situation. However, Xu Shu told Liu Xie that because some boats had leaked when crossing the river, so they would not arrive until early tomorrow morning, and Liu Xie did not say anything, and after some advice, he walked towards the location of the palace.

There are few people in Luoyang City now, and there are no crowds on both sides of the street, watching the real dragon, Liu Xie feels a little excited. He didn't deliberately slow down, and directly let the team rush towards the palace. Otherwise, it will take some time to get from the city gate to the palace. First, to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and secondly, to let the people take a look at the appearance of the real dragon Son of Heaven, so that they can go back and brag about it.

Now, all of this can only be left behind.

When the team came to the palace, there were also guards guarding the palace gate, and when they saw Liu Xie's frame, it was naturally a wave of congratulations and a tsunami, which finally made Liu Xie's mood a little better. He then stepped out of the carriage and walked on foot towards the palace, only then did he feel that what was before him was real and not unreal.

"Ancestors and ancestors, descendants Liu Xie is back. I hope that the ancestors and ancestors will have me, revive the Han family, and let the world feel the majesty of my Han Dynasty. ”

Walking on the bluestone slab of the palace, Liu Xie muttered silently in his heart.

The palace maids and eunuchs were already running around the palace at this time, although they were very tired from the journey. However, Queen Fushou and Concubine Dong Guifei unswervingly followed Liu Xie and silently expressed their support for Liu Xie. Of course, in addition to the two of them, there were also other concubines following, so the palace for them to rest naturally had to be sorted out, and the palace maids and eunuchs were of course inevitably busy.

After an hour of idleness in the palace, Liu Xie was satisfied, and then dismissed everyone, leaving only a few people around.
