Hearing the pleasant laughter of his wife and them in the distance, Liu Yu couldn't help but speed up his pace. =Top=Point=Small- said

"King Zhou has arrived at the ......" In the report of the inner servant, He Lingsi and Liu Yu led Liu Yu's wives to greet him.

"Husband, what's going on, why is this court meeting so long?" Ren Hongchang hugged Liu Yude's arm and complained softly.

Liu Yu didn't speak, but walked into the big pavilion in the center of the imperial garden with Liu Yu and their support. Seeing Liu Yu's unhappy face, the wives calmed down for a while. Liu Yu gently walked behind Liu Yu, took Liu Yu's head into his arms, and gently rubbed Liu Yu's temples while asking, "Husband, is something wrong?" ”

Liu Yu said "um", still speechless. He Lingsi glanced at Liu Yu, turned his head and asked, "Manager Lin, do you know what's wrong with the prince?" ”

Lin Pingzhi frowned slightly and said, "According to the slave maid, the prince may be unhappy because of Xiao Shunzi. ”

"Little Junko?" Liu Yu and their eyes looked over, and Cai Yan even said: "Who is this little Shunzi?" How did you provoke my husband? ”

"Xiao Shunzi is the emperor's personal eunuch, he ......" Lin Pingzhi explained everything she had just seen.

Although Lin Pingzhi did not exaggerate and provoke when she told the facts, Liu Xuan and the others were all full of anger when they heard it. He Lingsi even slapped the table and scolded: "What a dog slave with a lot of guts!" Lin Pingzhi, bring him here immediately! The mourning family wants to see who gave him such courage......"

"Alright, alright." Liu Yu waved his hand to stop Lin Pingzhi. said: "Jie'er has already punished Xiao Shunzi, so don't trouble him anymore!" Anyway, Xiao Shunzi is the person who is close to Jie'er. We still have to save some face for Bian'er. ”

Cai Yan was still a little unwilling, and said, "But ......"

"Nothing." Liu Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not unhappy because of Xiao Shunzi. ”

Liu Yu knew Liu Yu best, and she asked softly behind Liu Yu: "Could it be that husband, you are unhappy because of the matter of moving the capital to the fief?" ”

"yes." Liu Yu nodded, looked at He Lingsi and said, "Are you persecuting Jie'er again?" ”

He Lingsi said with a little weakness: "No, the concubine hasn't forced Jie'er?" ”

"Didn't force him?" Liu Yu pulled He Lingsi over, put her face down on his knees, and raised his hand to "snap" on her plump buttocks. While shooting. While saying: "If you didn't force him, how could he suddenly want to move the capital?" ”

Although Liu Yu did not make a heavy hand, He Lingsi still called "ouch, ouch". And quibbled: "Jie'er wants to move the capital to Chang'an because he wants to reproduce the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty." This has nothing to do with the concubine's body, I hope you will check it out! ”

"Check your size!" Liu Yu kept his hands on it, and said in his mouth: "I want to reproduce the prosperity of the Han Dynasty." You don't have to go to Chang'an, do you? Luoyang's foundation is already strong. After several years of development, it can be called the first big city of our Han Dynasty. Isn't it sick to have such a political, economic, and cultural center, but to move back to the old capital? You should be a fool, and you dare to say that there is nothing wrong with you here? Hmph......"

He Lingsi was speechless, only turned his head to look at Liu Yu, the affection in his eyes made Liu Yu's heart soften, and he couldn't help but help her up and sit on his lap. He Lingsi leaned on Liu Yu's heart. Half-closed eyes, he muttered, "Husband." After the concubine learned that you had recovered Yongliang Erzhou and Hanzhong, she discussed with Bian'er how to reward you. But after discussing and discussing, they did not know what to give. ”

Ren Hongchang smiled beside him: "Yes." Husband, you control the largest trading company and the largest gang in the world, it can be said that you earn 100,000 gold a day, and your wealth is more than that of the emperor. Rewards like gold, silver, and jewelry, you naturally don't look at them. And you are the identity of King Zhou, and the officialdom can't let you go further. The martial arts secrets and divine weapons collected in the palace are also useless to you, of course Sister He Lingsi and her mother and son will have a headache! ”

He Lingsi nodded with great emotion and said, "Yes, we have been thinking about it for a long time and have not found a suitable method. Later, I simply asked Ban'er to move the capital to Chang'an, leaving the whole of Luoyang to my husband. ”

Cai Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "If you are a mother, you can be regarded as a blood mold!" ”

Liu Yu and the others all chuckled when they heard this. He Lingsi glanced at Liu Yu a little timidly, and then whispered: "Actually, I did this for the sake of discernment. ”

"How?" Liu Yu was a little puzzled, how could this account be calculated as Liu Wei's loss, and how could it be considered for him?

"Husband, you have to promise others first, when the concubine body speaks her mind, you can't be angry with the concubine, let alone ignore the concubine!"

He Lingsi's cautious appearance couldn't help but be a little funny, and couldn't help but say, "Is it really that serious?" ”

He Lingsi nodded solemnly. Liu Yu shook his head and sighed, and said, "Okay, you say, I promise that I won't be angry with you, let alone ignore you!" ”

"Husband, do you know those laws about the clans that own fiefs?" After seeing Liu Yu shaking his head, He Lingsi lowered his head and said softly: "One of them is that the clan with a fief is not allowed to leave the fief without an edict...... At the same time, it is not allowed to be an official in the court, ......" Speaking of this, He Lingsi glanced at Liu Yu quickly, and then said softly: "Without a husband in the court, after distinguishing the son's pro-government, you will be able to better control those ministers!" ”

So you had this in mind? The idea is good, once Liu Yu is really trapped in Luoyang, he will naturally not be able to effectively control the "prince faction" in the imperial court, which is extremely beneficial to the emperor in power. It's no wonder He Lingsi has such a look! However, they also underestimated Liu Yu's influence on those ministers, right?

Liu Yu, who did not respond, immediately made He Lingsi nervous, she raised her head, looked at Liu Yu with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "Husband, you said that you don't blame the concubine......"

Liu Yu and the others also looked at Liu Yu nervously, as if they already knew about it. Now they are all waiting for Liu Yu's statement! Liu Yu first gave He Lingsi a reassuring smile, then glanced at Liu Yu and them, and said softly: "How can I blame you." I wish I could spend more time with you! If you do this, I thank you before it's too late! ”

"Husband, is this true, you didn't cheat on your concubine?" He Lingsi looked incredulous.

"Of course it's true!" Liu Yu gave her the answer with certainty.

At this time, Liu Yu and the others cheered. Cai Yan even said: "Sister Lingsi, I said a long time ago that my husband is not the kind of person who is greedy for power. He will never blame you......"

Is Liu Yu really not greedy for power? Not necessarily! It's just because Liu Yu is absolutely sure that he can control the imperial court remotely, so he willingly retreats behind the scenes, otherwise......

#########################################################

When the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an. And after the news that Luoyang was rewarded to Liu Yu spread, it immediately caused an extremely strong response in various places. All the major princes wrote letters accusing Liu Yu of this kind of unethical behavior. This made Liu Yu feel a little annoyed, because this was the emperor's personal behavior at all, and it had nothing to do with him at all. Why did they all come to him in the end?

Even in Liu Yu's sphere of influence, some students expressed dissatisfaction with Liu Yu's behavior of "bullying the monarch and valuing the king". Of course. There are also people of insight in various places who see the meaning of Liu Yu's return to the emperor, and they are helping him explain to the public, which finally makes Liu Yu slightly relieved.

Although Chang'an already had an imperial palace, its scale was far inferior to that of Luoyang Imperial Palace, so Liu Yu did not ask the emperor to move immediately, but sent a construction team to prepare to renovate the imperial palace in the west! In addition to the imperial palace, there are three other places in Chang'an that are under construction.

One is the Taimiao. It is a place to worship the ancestors of the Han family, and it is absolutely not to be sloppy. In order to ensure quality. Zongzheng Liu Yu even came to Chang'an in person to supervise the whole process! The other is the deliberative yamen of the six ministries of the three provinces. The territory of the current imperial court is too large. Each yamen needed a lot of subordinates, and Cao Cao's original council halls were too narrow, so they had to be torn down and expanded! The last one is the inner city for the civil and military ministers of the imperial court to live in. This idea was inadvertently thought of by Liu Yu. Let the important ministers live in the inner city, which is not only easy to protect, but also easy to monitor!

After all, the emperor is Liu Yu's stepson, and Liu Yu still has to think about him and his descendants! When He Lingsi knew about this, he was excited to repay his son's kindness, allowing Liu Yu to enjoy an indescribable joy!

These four major repairs cost nearly 10 million taels of silver. Originally, Liu Yu planned that he and the imperial court would contribute half each, but later asked Zhen Mi, who was responsible for taking care of all the properties under his name, to find out that in his personal assets, the cash in stock alone had exceeded 100 million taels!

Money is not meant to be saved, but to be spent! Based on this concept, Liu Yu generously told the emperor that all the renovation costs of Xijing would be paid by him alone. Although Liu Yu's behavior won the emperor's gratitude and the courtiers' rave reviews, it also detonated speculation about Liu Yu's wealth.

Fortunately, almost all outsiders don't know the relationship between Liu Yu and the first merchant in the Han Dynasty, the Xingchanglong Chamber of Commerce, so most people guess that Liu Yu has accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on the war. Some people even said that the reason why Liu Yu was so rich was because he was greedy for the spoils that the soldiers deserved. All of a sudden, countless people who are eager to get rich are full of anticipation for war!

While the emperor and the courtiers were preparing to relocate, Liu Yu and Liu Yu also got together for a discussion, mainly to discuss how to develop, which will be the largest city in the world that will belong to Liu Yu - Luoyang!

"Yu'er, tell me about the current situation of my fiefdom!"

"Yes, husband." Liu Xuan nodded and said, "The fiefs that Jie'er rewarded her husband include Luoyang City, Mengjin County, Yanshi County, Xin'an County, and Yichuan County......

Gongsun Ting asked with some doubts: "Didn't Luoyang originally govern eight counties?" Why did you only give your husband four county seats? ”

Gongsun Ting's words made He Lingsi, who was listening, couldn't help but change her face, she originally felt a little sorry for Liu Yu, but when she heard that her son actually deducted her man's fief, she immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "This bastard boy is really getting more and more cunning, even her husband dares to fool." The mourning family must teach him a good lesson! ”

"Alright, Lingsi." Liu Yu stopped He Lingsi, who was about to get up and go home to beat his son, and said with a smile: "Jie'er originally only said that he would reward me with the 'Eastern Capital Luoyang' as a fief. But I didn't say that I would give me the attached county seats, this time I can have four more counties, we have already earned it, why are you so angry? ”

After listening to Liu Yu's persuasion, He Lingsi sat down again, but there was still a little stupidity on his face. Liu Yu gestured to Liu Yu, who had been smiling at them, and she nodded. He continued: "The four counties of this city are exactly a basin topography, with a maximum width of one hundred and twelve miles from north to south and a maximum of one hundred and forty-eight miles from east to west. It has 431,762 households. Nearly 2.17 million people. ”

This population density is a bit high! Liu Yu sighed and asked, "Some of these hukou should have migrated to Chang'an with the imperial court, right?" ”

"Not bad. According to the concubine's estimate, there will be about 30,000 households by then, and nearly 200,000 people will migrate to Chang'an! ”

This number is still within Liu Yu's acceptance range! He was really a little afraid that those people would migrate with the court in order to become "people from the capital"! Glancing at Liu Yu and them, Liu Yu said lazily: "You all talk about it." What do we do in the future? ”

Cai Yan and the others didn't speak. Just looked at Liu Xu. Liu Xuan knew that this was because the sisters respected her as an eldest woman, so she was not polite, and said directly: "The concubine thinks that the first thing we should do is to build an army to protect the fief and the people in the fiefdom!" ”

Liu Yu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Are there any regulations on the number of troops?" ”

"With the special permission of Jie'er, the total number of soldiers we can recruit can reach 50,000!"

"Recruitment? What do you mean? Isn't it possible to transfer directly from the army? ”

"Because you have always implemented the policy of elite soldiers, and now we have two more states and one county in the territory we want to protect, so the military department really can't draw manpower. Distinguish because of this incident. And I apologized to me! ”

The emperor probably felt embarrassed, so he didn't come directly to Liu Yu. Instead, I hope to blow Liu Yu's pillow wind through Liu Yu! You know, if you want to train 50,000 elite soldiers, it will take a lot of time and money......

The exclamation on Liu Yu's face deepened He Lingsi's dissatisfaction with Jie'er, looking at her gloomy jade face, Liu Yu knew that Liu Wei was about to run out of good fruit to eat!

Just when Liu Yu was thinking about when it was appropriate to openly recruit new soldiers, Ren Hongchang spoke: "Husband, instead of recruiting new soldiers, it is better to transfer 50,000 people directly from the Xingchanglong Escort Army......"

Ren Hongchang's words made Liu Yu's eyes light up, yes, why did he forget about the Xingchanglong Guard? This army hidden in the shadows is not only not weaker than the regular troops in terms of personal strength and battle formation, but also is absolutely loyal to Liu Yu. It is really a good thing to use them to protect the four counties of Luoyang! The Xingchanglong Guards are currently scattered all over the world, protecting the various businesses of the Xingchanglong Chamber of Commerce openly or covertly, and their total number has reached 200,000, and the transfer of 50,000 should not have much impact!

Liu Yu suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking, "By the way, the back army is still mine, right?" ”

"Of course, private troops like Beiwei Jun and Luan Fengwei are still the husband's, and the emperor has no right to take them back!" Liu Yu glanced at Liu Yu and said.

"So, I have 60,000 troops under my control?"

"How is that possible?!" Liu Yu smiled and said: "The more than 10,000 people in the Weiwei army must be counted among the 50,000 people, because they are all private soldiers who belong to your husband......

"That's it......" Liu Yu nodded and said: "The military will be discussed here first, and now we will talk about the future development direction of Luoyang!" ”

"What's there to say about this!" Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Of course, let Luoyang take the road of economic development, and we will build it into the richest city in the world!" ”

"No, no, no......" Before Liu Yu could express his opinion, Cai Yan first strongly objected: "If you pay attention to the economy, it will inevitably make the whole Luoyang full of copper smell, and then Luoyang will lose the charm of a thousand-year-old historical city!" What's more, my husband's money is enough, and our family can't spend it in dozens of lifetimes. Therefore, I strongly suggest that Luoyang should be allowed to take the road of cultural development, so that this thousand-year-old city will become a holy place in the hearts of readers all over the world in the future! ”

"Sister Yan, you're wrong......"

"Sister Mi, sister is right......

Although the two women smiled skillfully, their words were full of gunpowder. It's not just them. Even He Lingsi and the others were divided into two factions, each supporting one, with a fiery passion. Quoting scriptures and quoting from the scriptures there, and discussing them on the side. In the face of such a scene, Liu Yu and Liu Yu only had a relatively wry smile!

###########################################################

After being at home for several days, one evening, Xiao Shunzi, who was next to the emperor, suddenly came to the palace and said that the emperor wanted to invite Liu Yu into the palace for dinner. Originally, Liu Yu and the others were going to go with Liu Yu, but Xiao Shunzi said that the emperor had private matters to discuss with Liu Yu. Liu Yu was specially ordered to go to the banquet alone. Liu Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, but just asked Liu Yu to remember to go home earlier.

Boarding the carriage, Liu Yu habitually closed his eyes and recuperated. But after a while, Liu Yu felt that something was wrong. Liu Yu is very familiar with the road from the palace to the palace, and he can really find it with his eyes closed. But the carriage he was riding in took a different road, and it should have been out of the city.

Could it be that the emperor is preparing a night banquet in the suburbs? Or...... Liu Yu sat quietly in the car. I want to see if the next development of this matter is as he expected!

After leaving the city, I walked for another half an hour. Liu Yu was slightly impatient, and said, "Why haven't you arrived yet?" ”

Xiao Shunzi, who was driving in person, said respectfully through the door curtain: "It's almost here, please sit down!" ”

As soon as his words ended, Liu Yu felt the carriage shake slightly. Liu Yu's spiritual sense told him that Xiao Shunzi had already left the carriage. And at this moment, countless tight bowstring thunderbolts suddenly sounded in the air. The "Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill" that was carried in response to the sound immediately collided violently with the sharp arrow that penetrated the car wall.

The internal force was released, the carriage was shattered, and Liu Yu slowly stood up in the rain of arrows. Four or five hundred crossbowmen around saw Liu Yu behind him. Its rate of fire couldn't help but increase a lot.

Because there was no Xiao Shunzi or other obvious leaders in the audience, Liu Yu didn't talk nonsense. As soon as he showed his figure, he killed these assassins who dared to attack him.

I didn't use the Heavenly Sword or the Heavenly Halberd, nor did I use the Hundred Steps Divine Fist or the Silent Palm, because these small ones were not worthy. Liu Yu simply punched and kicked, although there was no order, but those ordinary soldiers couldn't resist it.

In just a few breaths, more than 60 people have died under Liu Yu's fists and feet. Just when Liu Yu was about to exercise his basic martial arts, a violent roar sounded: "Thief dares!" And with this sound, Liu Yu was surged with a whistling palm wind and heavy pressure.

Liu Yu pursed his lips disdainfully, smiled and used a style of "Dou Zhuan Xingxing" to transfer this ferocious palm power to a few small soldiers beside him. There was no doubt that the minions were immediately blown away, and when they were in mid-air, they were spurting blood from their mouths!

After turning his head, Liu Yu saw two eyes that had been cracked by anger, dripping blood, matching the bloodshot in his pupils, as if they were spewing flames! Because he felt that this person was a little familiar, Liu Yu didn't feel that he had stopped the slaughter and looked at him. And those soldiers who were lucky enough to escape naturally did not take the initiative to trouble Liu Yu, and they all stopped and surrounded themselves from afar.

"You're a prince?"

"It's me!"

Sure enough, it was him. This prince is one of the twelve captains of the forbidden army, and is usually responsible for guarding the palace gates. Liu Yu, who often goes in and out of the palace, is somewhat familiar with him. It's just that he greets Liu Yu with a smile on weekdays, and this sudden appearance of raising eyebrows will naturally make Liu Yu feel a little strange.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Liu Yu asked sternly with a frown.

"Of course I do." Wang Zifu said with an excited face: "I am committing a rape for the country!" ”

"Rape?" Liu Yu asked slightly angrily: "Could it be that this king is the 'traitor'?" ”

"Not bad." With these words, Xiao Shunzi and another young general also entered the human circle.

"Xiao Shunzi, what do you mean by that?"

"You have your own number of things to do, do you still want our family to say it?" Xiao Shunzi looked at Liu Yu with a look of resentment.

Liu Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Are you taking revenge on this king because the emperor punished you a few days ago?" ”

"How could our family do that kind of thing?" Xiao Shunzi said angrily: "Our family affairs can't get used to you, as a courtier, persecuting the emperor everywhere......"

"You wait," Liu Yu interrupted him and asked suspiciously, "Which eye did you see that this king persecuted the emperor?" ”

"Hmph, although you didn't directly persecute the emperor, you achieved your goal by putting pressure on the queen mother. This kind of means is even more shameless! (To be continued.) )
