CHAPTER XXIX
Just when Yin Xing was planning for Geng Chun's marriage, Geng Chun only took the officials and hundreds of horses, and after meeting with Deputy Chen and Deng Long, they went to Zhending together, stayed in the house, and secretly contacted Liu De to obtain evidence, while planning how to arrest Liu Yang. www.biquge.info When the evidence was conclusive and he wanted to plan for the future, Liu Yang sent it to the door.
Liu Yang guessed that Geng Chun's trip might be for him, but because Geng Chun's mother was from the Zhending Liu clan, and Geng Chun's entourage was no more than 100 people, he thought that Geng Chun would not dare to embarrass him, and did not take Geng Chun in his eyes at all, and sent an envoy to send a book to Geng Chun and make an appointment to meet the Dingwang Mansion.
Geng Chunzi did not agree, and he replied to the envoy: "I am ordered by the emperor to visit the prince and the prince, and you must not go first." If you want to meet, you should only meet in the house. ”
Liu Yang listened to the envoy's recounting, and immediately decided to go to the house to see Geng Chun, he thought that his younger brother Liu Rang and his brother Liu Xi, each with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, why not be afraid of Geng Chun, who had a small number of people. So, Liu Yang took his own strength, so he took the two brothers and the officials of the royal palace to go to the Chuanshe and meet Geng Chun.
Geng Chun greeted him when he came out of the house, invited him in, and was courteous and respectful.
Seeing this, the Liu Yang brothers thought that Geng Chun was afraid of themselves, and the vigilance suddenly disappeared, leaving the light soldiers outside, and the three brothers went in with Geng Chun.
In the house, Geng Chun and Liu Yang brothers talked and laughed. However, after the doors were closed, Geng Chun suddenly changed color, and immediately ordered the arrest of several Liu Yang brothers, and then counted them in public for the crime of treason, ignoring the sabre-rattling of the Zhending soldiers, and beheaded the three Liu Yang brothers on the spot, showing them to the public.
When the soldiers were about to wave their swords at each other, Liu De suddenly knelt down and said loudly to Geng Chun: "I don't know about my father's intention to rebel, and I hope the general will see it." If the general is determined to fight with us, the result will only be a defeat for both sides, and the general will not be able to get out of this real certainty, and we will therefore invite His Majesty's army to the city. Such a lose-lose situation is really not our wish. ”
Liu De's words were a plea for mercy and a threat to Geng Chun, but it was not a warning to the soldiers of Zhending.
After hearing this, all the soldiers pondered for a moment, and then knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "I hope the general will be clear." ”
Geng Chun immediately helped Liu De up in a friendly manner and said to the soldiers: "Those who don't know are not guilty." In the past, the first emperor listened to the villain's slanderous rumors and killed His Majesty's brother, His Majesty was fortunate to be blessed by the ancestors, and after ascending the throne, he did not condemn his wife and children, but gave more mercy and proper placement, even if it was the first emperor himself, His Majesty heard that he had unfortunately died, and it was also a good burial, which shows His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness. His Majesty is still like this to his enemies, and he is even more generous to those close to him. Today, all the soldiers are loyal to Your Majesty, and the general sees that he will return to Luoyang one day, and he should make it clear to His Majesty, and His Majesty must be pleased, and maybe there are still people among you who will be reused by His Majesty one day. ”
Geng Chun's words completely relieved everyone who was really determined, and shouted in unison: "The minister is willing to serve His Majesty for the work of dogs and horses, and he will not hesitate to do anything." ”
At this point, the matter of King Zhending's rebellion is solved. Geng Chun also reported to the imperial court.
After Liu Xiu saw Geng Chun's recital, he said to the ministers that Liu Yang and Liu Rang's rebellion did not cause a catastrophe, and that he had a meritorious service in his conquest of Wang Lang, so he named his son Liu De as the king of Zhending, so that he could inherit the ancestral rites. In this way, the sin is not as good as the wife and children's clan, and the government is gentle, and the true hearts of the people begin to gradually surrender.
Liu Yang's rebellion was solved so calmly and smoothly, and he got another 100,000 troops, Liu Xiu was naturally very happy in his heart, he couldn't wait to share it with Yin Lihua, he forgot about the escape of the past few days, and rushed to the West Palace to share the joy in his heart with Yin Lihua.
After Yin Lihua heard this, she smiled and said, "That's really congratulations to Uncle Wen, the concubine is very happy for Your Majesty." "Yin Lihua, this will really be happy for Liu Xiu.
After Liu Xiu was happy, he slowly told Yin Lihua what was on his mind. "The emperor was first built, and the external worries have not been eliminated, and if there is civil strife again, the emperor will be in danger. Former general Geng Chun went to Zhending, and I have always been worried about it, afraid that he will not be able to handle this matter well, and I am also afraid that he will temporarily defect. If the late King Zhending takes the opportunity to rebel, then I am afraid that the country I have finally obtained will be handed over, this is not enough, as long as I can live, there will be a day of comeback, I am afraid that I will not be allowed by others at that time, and it will affect you. In the past, the second sister, the second brother and the nieces died in the wilderness, and then the eldest brother, I have always felt deeply guilty about this, and for this reason, I should be more diligent. In order to come to the Nine Springs in the future, I can be worthy of my ancestors and those who sacrificed because of me, I can't afford to lose at all, and I can't lose. Fortunately, Geng Chun lived up to my trust and properly resolved this danger. My heart is really happy. "No one knows how worried he is, no one knows the torment in his heart, but fortunately, the result is still good.
Yin Lihua didn't know that Liu Xiu had borne so much, she thought that it was Liu Xiu's pursuit to chase the world, but it turned out that it had become his burden at some point, and she inevitably felt sorry for Liu Xiu in her heart. She didn't say anything, just hugged Liu Xiu gently and hugged him.
Liu Xiu wrapped her hands around Yin Lihua's thin waist, and finally shed tears of joy and sorrow. He finally said these words buried in his heart, and he was very glad that the person who listened to his words was Yin Lihua.
This night, Liu Xiu slept very peacefully, he hadn't had such a night for a long time.
Liu Xiu let go of his worries, thinking about waiting for Geng Chun to come back and reward him well, and entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Unexpectedly, Geng Chun asked him for his life and said: "The descendants of the minister's family are fortunate to have the revival of the Han Dynasty, and the Holy Emperor has been appointed to be a general, and the lord is a marquis." The world is slightly determined, and the ministers have no ambition, so they are willing to try to govern a county and try their best to be effective. ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he smiled and said: "Aiqing is both a martial artist, and he wants to cultivate the evil of literature?" This is what I wish in my heart, but I can only sigh that the world is undecided. But seeing that Geng Chun's mind had been decided, he worshiped Geng Chun as the Taishou of Dongjun.
Dongjun is close to the imperial capital Luoyang, and the territory is not peaceful, which is very in line with Geng Chun's heart.
Liu Xiu couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned Geng Chun's decision to Yin Lihua. "Geng Chun is young and promising, I still want him to continue to conquer the territory for me, but I didn't expect him to abandon martial arts and follow literature?"
Yin Lihua was very surprised that Geng Chun made such a decision, she couldn't help but wonder if it was related to Guo Shengtong, although she had some thoughts in her heart, she didn't forget to respond to Liu Xiu and said: "Maybe he is good at cultivating literature and martial arts." ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I hope so." ”
Yin Lihua is at this point. At this time, she was even more convinced that her decision was right. In addition to Geng Chun, of course, she did not forget Liu De, who was far away in Zhending. Guo Shengtong's ascension to the back position may not be able to be changed, but how can she let Guo Shengtong always have these solid backups.
Because of Liu Yang's rebellion, many voices supporting Guo Shengtong as the queen have temporarily weakened, but there are not many ministers who support Yin Lihua now, and they can't become a climate. Although the ministers did not exert any more pressure, Liu Xiu never let go of this matter in his heart. He promised Liu De, and he was bound to fulfill his promise, but it was one thing to decide and another thing to do. You must know that once it is established, it will be difficult to change, if Guo Shengtong is really the queen, then he feels that he will be too wronged by Yin Lihua for the rest of his life, and it is Yin Lihua who he is most unwilling to be wronged in this life. is obviously the wife he is marrying, but in the future, he will be willing to be a concubine, succumb to others, and he will not be side by side in his life, and he will die in different holes, as long as he thinks of this, Liu Xiu's heart is very unhappy. Now that the minister doesn't mention it anymore, he can only delay it for a while, hoping for a sudden change in his heart, so that the matter can be discussed again.
Guo Shengtong saw that after the dust settled on his uncle Liu Yang's rebellion, the tide of discussion seemed to disappear, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, lest something happen.
