Chapter 1143: Six Families, Re-enter Beijing
Through several decrees of Liu Yu, the hearts of the people and the army in Yuzhou have been firmly condensed around Liu Yu, and they have truly achieved the point of "only knowing Liu Yu, not the Han Emperor...... Subsequently, the "big-leap-progress" advocated by Liu Yu made Yuzhou full of enthusiasm.
The sergeants also trained and farmed, but they did not complain; Everyone works hard and is never lazy; The officials are united in their duties. However, Liu Yu, the main father, is really ...... Very idle! It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want to do it, but these people under him are really too capable, so there is no need for Liu Yu to meddle at all! So when the imperial court expressed the hope that Liu Yu would take the time to go to Beijing to participate in the celebration of the Western Expeditionary Army, Liu Yu didn't say a word, and immediately agreed!
So, on a sunny morning, Liu Yu took Liu Xuan, Cai Yan and Ren Hongchang, escorted by He Man, Xu Chu and the 5,000 guards who were renamed the "Beiwei Army", and marched towards Luoyang.
Leaned comfortably on Liu Yan's arms, playing with Cai Yan's slender jade hands, while listening to Ren Hongchang's narration of the news she sorted out from Xinghua Society.
ββ¦β¦ Liu Bei led his troops to defeat the 40,000 army of the anti-general Li Wenhou in Didao, and his general Guan Yu even rode into the enemy formation and killed Li Wenhou in the middle of the army; Dong Zhuo used his advisor Wei Zhongdao's strategy to annihilate the 50,000 Qiang cavalry led by Beigong Boyu in Taoyang, and Beigong Boyu was also killed by Lu Bu......"
"Ah, Brother Wei? How could he be there? The "ignorant" Cai Yan's tone revealed the worry about his childhood sweetheart's senior brother.
Liu Yu's smiling voice sounded on Liu Yu's head: "Dong Zhuo once served as the Taishou of Hedong, and Wei Zhongdao is a member of the Hedong Wang. So it's no surprise that they're together. As for why your eldest brother Wei joined the army, I have to ask our good husband! β
Liu Xuan doesn't seem to see something, right? Liu Yu calmed down and said softly to Cai Yan: "I am in troubled times. But any husband who has the world in his heart will want to make a difference, and your brother Wei's move is also reasonable! What's more, he is just a strategist, and he doesn't have to go to the killing field in person, there will be no danger, so you can rest assured! β
Sometimes Liu Yu really doubts whether Cai Yan is the peerless talent in history, because she is so easy to deceive, and a few words dispelled her doubts. But Liu Xuan is not so easy to fool. This is evidenced by the sharp pain coming from the soft flesh of Liu Yu's waist.
Liu Yu couldn't help but glared at Ren Hongchang, who was snickering beside her, and in fright, she stretched out her cute, pink little fragrant tongue, and then reported to Liu Yu in her childish voice with a hint of charm: "Cao Cao used a trick to seize the golden city that will not be able to be controlled. and captured the side chapter alive; Later, under the command of Zhu Jun, these three groups of men and horses surrounded Han Sui's 60,000 remnants in Wuwei City. Later, under the persuasion of Ma Teng, the head of the Ma family, Han Sui led his troops to surrender. β
"The Ma family?" Liu Yu repeated unconsciously.
Liu Yu lowered his head and whispered in Liu Yu's ear: "Husband, you don't know the 'Six Families', right?" β
Liu Yu tilted his head. first gave her an innocent and ignorant autumn wave. Then he rubbed it in her arms to suggest that she offered the answer.
Liu Yu knocked on Liu Yu's head and said coquettishly: "Don't mess around, listen to me...... The so-called 'six families' refer to the six most powerful wealthy families of the Han Dynasty in addition to the Liu family. They are - the fourth and third dukes, the protΓ©gΓ© of the Bohai Yuan family who is all over the world; out of the Peiguo Xiahou family, the founding general Xiahou Ying; the Cao family established by the descendants of the famous minister Cao Shen in Peiguo; the Ma family established by the descendants of the general Fubo Ma Yuan in Xiliang; the Sun family, which was established by the descendants of Sun Wuzi, a master of the art of war, in Wu County; There is also the Gongsun family established by the descendants of Gongsun Cheng, who seized Yizhou during the Wang Mang Rebellion. β
Is there any mistake? During the Three Kingdoms period, celebrities with the surname Gongsun seem to be in the Northeast? In line with the good study habit of "asking if you don't understand", Liu Yu raised Liu Yu's questions to Liu Yu.
Liu Xuan smiled slightly and explained: "In the early days of Guangwu, in order to eliminate the influence of the Gongsun family in Yizhou. Emperor Guangwu moved the entire Gongsun clan to Liao-dong. β
Liu Yu nodded in understanding, and suddenly remembered something. Asked Ren Hongchang: "I asked Xinghua News Agency to investigate Sun Jian's situation, is there a return now?" β
Ren Hongchang nodded, and said obediently: "Sun Jian, a native of Fuchun, Wu County, is less famous for his courage in the township, and was recommended as a captain by the county for killing more than ten pirates in Qiantang. Later, Huiji Xuchang rebelled, proclaimed himself 'Emperor Yangming', and gathered tens of thousands; Sun Jian only relied on a thousand people to attack the city gate, broke it, and then beheaded Xu Chang and his son Xu Shao in the chaotic army, and was awarded the Taishou of Wu County for this merit. married his wife Danyang Wu family sisters, and his sister had four sons - Ce, Quan, Yi, and Kuang; The younger sister gave birth to a son and a daughter - the son is named Lang, and the female name is Ren. Sun Jian and his younger brother Sun Jing are the most outstanding children of the Sun family in Wu County, known as 'Jiangdong Shuangbi'! β
Liu Yu asked with interest: "What are the names of the outstanding children of the other five families?" β
Ren Hongchang thought about it carefully and said: "According to Xinghua News Agency, the outstanding figures of this generation that are noteworthy in the Yuan family are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yi, and the Gongsun family is Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Yue, and Gongsun Du, and the Ma family has only one Ma Teng, Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan of the Xiahou family, and Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong of the Cao family. β
"Isn't Cao Cao the cheap grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng, how did he become Cao Shen's descendant again?" Liu Yu asked suspiciously.
"The Cao family and the Xiahou family have been friends for generations and are in-laws with each other, and Cao Teng was originally a eunuch, and in order to inherit the incense of the house, he succeeded his nephew Xiahou Song as a son and changed his name to Cao Song, and Cao Cao is the son of Cao Song." It was Liu Yu who answered Liu Yu, she lowered her head to look at Liu Yu, and her eyes flashed with the light of wisdom that fascinated Liu Yu: "Has the husband also noticed this person?" The bases of Cao and Xiahou are not far from my fiefdom Yangzhai, and I know a lot about Cao Cao in the famous township. β
"Indeed, 'the capable minister who rules the world, the traitor of the troubled times' is not simple!" Even if he almost hollowed out Cao Cao's corner, Liu Yu would never underestimate him, of course, he would not be too jealous, with Liu Yu's current power, there is no storage in the world that can make him jealous! casually exchanged a few gossip about Cao Cao with Liu Yu, and Liu Yu asked Ren Hongchang again: "In addition to the six major families in the Han Dynasty, are there any other wealthy families worth noting?" β
Ren Hongchang nodded. He replied, "Yes." Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xun Chen under the Lord are from the Xun family in Yingchuan, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao are from the Zhang family in Xuzhou, and Kong Yu and Kong Rong are from the Kong family in Lu State. In addition, it also benefits the Wu family in the state. The representative children of this generation are Wu Yi and Wu Lan; The Cai family in Jingzhou, the representative of this generation is Cai Mao. By the way, Sister Yan'er seems to be from this family! β
Are Cai Yong and Cai Mao related? Liu Yu cast his puzzled gaze on Cai Yan.
Cai Yan glanced at Liu Yu very dissatisfied, and pouted: "Husband doesn't really care about other people, he doesn't even know their family background!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Liu Yu put his hand on her waist and buttocks in distress and patted her gently, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Yan'er." As a husband, I simply love you. That's why I didn't notice your family history! Okay, baby Yan'er, you come and tell your husband about your relationship with the Cai family in Jingzhou! β
Cai Yan clenched his small fist and slapped Liu Yu twice in the chest. said a little proudly: "Cai Mao's kid is someone's nephew in terms of seniority!" β
"Ah, I didn't expect my Yan'er to be so high......" Liu Yu coaxed Cai Yan to be happy, and then turned his head and asked Ren Hongchang: "Are there any other wealthy families?" It's not just these five, right? β
Ren Hongchang smiled sweetly at Liu Yu and said, "There is another one." It is also known as the most powerful family in the 'Little Six Clans'. Out of the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Chong, Dong Zhuo's Longxi Dong family. β
Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhuo are also relatives? This plane is really climbable...... Liu Yu shook his head, no longer thinking about these troublesome relationships, and asked Liu Yu instead: "Why is the He family, who has the queen and the general, not among them?" β
Liu Zhen smiled slightly and said, "He Jin was originally a butcher, and he was favored because his sister entered the palace. Although he is now a general, after all, the time is not long, the foundation is not deep, and he is far from being able to compare with those century-old families, so he can't enter the list of the 'Big and Small Six Families'! β
"Yu'er. Don't you think it's dangerous? β
Liu Yu sighed lightly and said helplessly: "I understand what my husband means." But what can be done? Let's not talk about the power of the various wealthy families in the court, in terms of military strength, each of the six families has tens of thousands of private soldiers, and there are more than 100 wealthy families with thousands of soldiers in the country, and the combined combat power of these soldiers is not comparable to the Yellow Turban Army! Besides, the families are intertwined, and they affect the whole body! β
Liu Yu had another question: "The four hundred years of inheritance of the Liu royal family, the princes are all over the world, can't you suppress those wealthy families?" β
Liu Xuan said with some sadness: "If all the royal families can be united, then of course there is no problem." But ......" Speaking of this, Liu Yu lowered his head and glanced at Liu Yu deeply, then lifted the curtains, looked at the cloudy sky, and said something meaningful: "Perhaps, it's time to change the sky......"
When he arrived in Luoyang, Liu Yu ordered He Man to lead the Beiwei army to camp on the outskirts of the city, and then took Liu Xuan, Cai Yan, Ren Hongchang and Xu Chu and the "Luan Fengwei" of all 36 people to the Yangzhai Princess Mansion in the city.
A long time ago, some of his vassals made suggestions to Liu Yu, imploring Liu Yu to form a personal guard composed of martial arts masters to protect Liu Yu's safety. But Liu Yu didn't like the feeling of being close to him, and with Liu Yu's situation, he really couldn't find a character who could hurt him, so he never agreed.
Later, Liu Yu and Cai Yan passed through the door one after another, considering that they did not have Liu Yu's various golden fingers, if they hurt somewhere, Liu Yu would die of heartache. Therefore, Liu Yu ordered the recruitment of guards within the boundaries he controlled and could influence, and prescribed several conditions:
First, it must be a woman, Liu Yu doesn't want a few big men to revolve around his wife all day long.
Second, the young and beautiful are given priority to be selected, not for lust, but for their own sensory needs and royal face.
Third, there is no priority for family members, after all, there is a family and there are bonds, and it is difficult to serve Liu Yu wholeheartedly.
Fourth, there must be a certain foundation of martial arts, no matter how high or low, anyway, Liu Yu has a sufficient amount of the "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill" in his hand, which can create innate masters and ensure their loyalty.
These conditions are not too harsh in Liu Yu's opinion, but to Liu Yu's surprise, there are only 36 people in his territory who meet the conditions and pass the examination, almost reaching the terrifying situation of choosing one out of 200,000.
However, what satisfied Liu Yu is that these girls from thirteen to eighteen years old have not weak internal strength, and they also know some martial arts, and they have excellent qualifications and potential. As for appearance, just look at the first time when Liu Yu took these thirty-six girls to meet with his Wenchen generals. Their stunning expressions and the sound of their gulp can be seen in the past.
After resting in the princess's mansion for less than half an hour, the queen mother and the emperor sent someone to summon Liu Yu into the palace to talk, but he did not call Liu Yu. Liu Yu knew that the mother and son were dissatisfied with him for marrying the proud daughter of heaven in their hearts, and married another daughter with great fanfare less than two months later. So he didn't get angry, anyway, Liu Yu didn't want to kowtow to them. When it was almost dark, it was rumored in the palace that Liu Yu was going to stay at the Queen Mother's place, and asked Liu Yu to bring Yan'er into the palace to participate in the family banquet tomorrow afternoon.
##########################################################
Cuihua Building. With the grace and luxury of Empress Dowager Dong, she couldn't help but show a surprised look when she saw Cai Yan in full costume. After Liu Yu and Cai Yan made a big salute, she asked Cai Yan to sit on her left hand side, and took Cai Yan's hand to look at it carefully. And Liu Yu, who was sitting on her right hand, stared at Liu Yu with eyes full of tender smiles.
Liu Yu stood there in response to Liu Yu's affection, because Liu Yu seemed to have been forgotten by Empress Dowager Dong. She didn't even give Liu Yu a seat. Originally, Liu Yu wanted to secretly teach the old lady a lesson, but Liu Yu's smiling expression made Liu Yu feel that she seemed to approve of the old lady's behavior, out of respect for his wife. Liu Yu can only endure it for the time being!
Under Cai Yan's hint, the old ladies finally "noticed" Liu Yu. She was extremely "surprised" and asked, "Why don't you sit down, donkey?" β
"The queen mother has not yet answered, how can the sons and daughters sit!" Liu Yu replied respectfully.
The old lady stroked her forehead and said, "The mourning family is really old and confused." Please take a seat, colt. β
Liu Yu really wanted to sit next to Liu Yu to comfort him for a night. However, royal etiquette did not allow Liu Yu to do this. Originally, the position on the right side of the old ladies was reserved for the emperor, but now Liu Xuan, who was deeply favored by their mother and son, sat on it, so the emperor's seat was automatically postponed. If Liu Yu inserts another one in the middle, the emperor who has been hurt by his dignity will have to beat Liu Yu with eighty boards. Liu Yu didn't want to tear his face with the emperor now, so he endured it.
Liu Yu sat down under Cai Yan and gave Liu Yan a look full of affection and apology. Liu Yu received it, understood, and gave Liu Yu a relieved sweet smile. When Liu Yu and Liu Yu were in love. The pale-faced, but in good spirits strode in, followed by a beautiful woman with two small children in tow.
Liu Yu, Liu Yu, and Cai Yan stood up and saluted: "See the imperial brother (emperor)." β
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He laughed and picked up Liu Yu with his empty hands and said, "Get up, get up." Today is a family dinner, don't be so formal! β
The emperor glared at Liu Yu, expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Yu, and then set his eyes on the woman who shared his love with his sister. In an instant, Liu Yu clearly saw the essence of the emperor's eyes. This is definitely not a sudden appearance of the superb master's exquisite skills, but a symptom known as the "disease of the widow". "This, this girl is, is it ......" The emperor stared at Cai Yan and asked with a stammer.
Cai Yan was angry and anxious by the emperor's presumptuous gaze, but Zhongjun's thoughts made her unable to speak, so she could only cast a helpless gaze on Liu Yu. Liu Yu, who frowned slightly, was about to speak, and Liu Yan's somewhat displeased voice had already sounded: "Brother Huang, this is the younger sister of the courtier's sister, the equal wife of the husband, and the only daughter of Mr. Cai Yong - Cai Yan." β
The emperor came back to his senses and glared at Liu Yu again. However, this time, in addition to the previous annoyance, there was also a trace of jealousy, a trace of hatred, and a trace of murder in his eyes. The emperor took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Liu Yu, come, I will introduce you." This is my queen, the sister of the great general He Jin. β
This is what happened to be the ignorant and ignorant people in history? It doesn't look like it, there is a dead silence in her eyes, and she can't see the pursuit of power and money at all...... Liu Yu is not a guy who doesn't know the number of etiquette like Emperor Ling of Han, and after a glance, he didn't pay attention anymore, and only saluted respectfully to this beautiful woman who seemed to be closed in love: "Liu Yu see the queen's mother!" β
Empress He replied lightly and said, "Please get up, in the future, you can call the mourning family 'imperial sister-in-law' on this occasion." β
"Yes, yes, it's called 'Imperial Sister-in-law'." The Emperor took over the topic with a smile, then pointed to the ten-year-old child and said, "This is my eldest son, Liu Wei," and then pointed to another child who was six or seven years old, "This is my youngest son, Liu Xie." β
Liu Yu called on the side, "See the eldest prince, see the second prince." While looking at the famous young and dedicated emperors in history. These two children look very similar to the emperor, and they both belong to the weak and delicate type. When Liu Yu's eyes met them, Liu Wei immediately avoided them. But Liu Xie looked at Liu Yu curiously. Then the two children returned the salute to Liu Yu in unison as if they had rehearsed in advance: "I've seen my uncle." β
After Cai Yan also saw the ceremony, Empress Dowager Dong began to beckon everyone to sit down and let people pass the meal. As Liu Yu expected, the emperor sat next to Liu Yu, followed by Empress He, then Liu Wei, and Liu Xie sat on Liu Yu's left. Without the solemnity and solemnity that Liu Yu imagined, it really seemed like a family banquet.
Everyone talked and laughed. Avoid sensitive topics such as government politics and rebellion, and tell some interesting stories or stories. For example, Liu Xie always pestered Liu Yu to tell the story of "a single sword to punish a thousand thieves", and the worship in his eyes made Liu Yu a little embarrassed when he heard the last one. If you ignore the emperor's colored gaze at Cai Yan. Then this banquet gave Liu Yu a good feeling.
After the meal, Liu Yu hurriedly took Liu Xuan and Cai Yan to bid farewell to the family, and after receiving the Empress Dowager Dong's decree to let Liu Xuan and Cai Yan enter the palace to accompany her every day, she hurriedly returned to the princess's mansion. In the car, Liu Yu hugged Liu Yu's arm and asked cautiously, "Husband." Are you angry? β
Liu Yu frowned and replied, "How can you not be angry?" actually stared at Yan'er with that kind of eyes. Hmph......"
Cai Yan also hated in Liu Yu's arms and said: "I didn't expect the emperor to be so rude, the kind of gaze he looks at me makes people so scared!" However, it seems that husband, you often look at people like that! β
Liu Yu hugged her a little tighter, and asked with a smile: "Husband, look at you like that, are you afraid?" β
Cai Yan groaned and whispered, "I like my husband to look at people like that!" β
Liu Yu laughed, lowered his head and kissed Cai Yan lightly on his forehead as a reward. When Liu Yu turned his head to look at Liu Yu, who had been silent since he asked Liu Yu, she frowned slightly. The peerless face that Liu Yu was obsessed with was full of sorrow. Liu Yu's heart ached slightly, and he pulled out his hand to wrap his arms around her little waist. Softly asked, "What are you worried about?" β
Liu Yu leaned on Liu Yu's shoulder and said timidly: "Husband, can you not be angry with my imperial brother?" β
Liu Yu smiled gently and said, "Silly girl, I'm not angry!" Who told both of my wives to be so stunning? As long as there are no excessive movements, you can watch it if you want! Although he said generously, Liu Yu had already retaliated. Now there is a trace of Shura power in Emperor Han Ling's body eroding, although it is only cutting off Emperor Han Ling's "source of desire-hope" at present, but if Liu Yu does not remove that Shura power for him in time, then Emperor Han Ling will be riddled with all kinds of diseases in the future, and he will die soon......
Liu Yu naturally couldn't sense the power of Shura, and when he heard this, he showed a thrilling and beautiful smile to Liu Yu, and then kissed Liu Yu extremely loudly on the face, and then buried his head between Liu Yu's shoulders and neck and muttered: "Husband, tomorrow we will call ourselves sick and not enter the palace, do you think about it?" β
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Silly girl, what should you do tomorrow." The queen mother and the queen have always been at odds, and there is no one who can say intimate words to her old man in the palace, it is rare that she likes you and Yan'er so much, so you can take advantage of this time in Beijing to accompany her more! β
Cai Yan also nodded and said, "Yes, the Queen Mother is very good!" β
Liu Yu first glanced at Liu Yu with relief, and then frightened: "Sister, aren't you afraid that the imperial brother will look at you like that kind of eyes again?" You know, the palace is his home, and it's easy to run into him! β
Cai Yan was startled at first, and then asked Liu Yu: "I'm not afraid!" Husbands will protect people, right? β
Liu Yu nodded firmly at her, and said in her sweet smile: "Of course, my husband will protect my Yan'er and will not let her be hurt in the slightest!" β
Cai Yan leaned closer to Liu Yu with satisfaction, Liu Yu smiled at her slightly, and then said to Liu Yu: "When you are in the palace, you should try to stay with the Queen Mother, and you two sisters should not be separated, I think there should be no danger in this way, after all, the emperor is also cheeky!" β
Liu Yu grinned and said, "Husband, please rest assured, I will definitely guarantee the safety of your baby!" β
Cai Yan laughed with her when she heard what she said, and Liu Yu naturally profited from it and enjoyed it.
Early the next morning, Liu Xuan and Cai Yan were taken into the palace by the Queen Mother. When Liu Yu was bored and had nothing to do, Wang Yue, the world's number one master with the title of "Sword Saint", the commander of the palace guards, and the emperor's swordsmanship teacher, unexpectedly came to visit Liu Yu.
