Chapter 978: Going Home
Cao Cao really didn't want to use assassination on Liu Yu. It's not like no one has tried it before. Wang Yue, the number one swordsman in the world, didn't give Liu Yu the result in person, would it be useful to send someone else? You must know that Liu Yu is one of Wang Yue's disciples, and it is useless for the master to go out, which shows that Liu Yu's own strength is very high.
Assassinating the other party is nothing more than finding an opportunity to kill the other party. Liu Yu's martial arts are strong, and the guards around him are even tighter, and it is too difficult to find an opportunity. The only way to do this is to create your own opportunities. It is nothing more than taking advantage of Liu Yu's trust or Liu Yu's shortcomings to attack.
The first one was given up by Cao Cao. The people Liu Yu trusted were all loyal to him, and only these people could get close to Liu Yu. For those who are not very trusted, Liu Yu has his own countermeasures. According to the news received by Cao Cao, Liu Yu almost monitored all the courtiers under his command. With such courage, Cao Cao couldn't even think of it. Isn't Liu Yu afraid that his courtiers are dissatisfied in their hearts? But at present, it seems that Liu Yu's method is still effective, and there are few courtiers who dare to be disrespectful to Liu Yu.
On the second point, Cao Cao didn't know how to start. Liu Yu has a lot of shortcomings. Cao Cao felt that Liu Yu was very arrogant, bold enough to take risks. Grumpy, erratic, moody. Sometimes he is very benevolent and compassionate. Sometimes he was very generous, and the money and food were like dung in front of him. Sometimes the iron rooster has to die, he won't pay a penny, and he is so stingy that he is going to die. And the key is that Liu Yu is very restrained even in women, and Cao Cao feels that the success rate is not very great even if he thinks of using old-fashioned beauty tricks.
And most importantly, Cao Cao was afraid.
Why was Cao Cao afraid? Because Liu Yu is holding a grudge. The assassination of Liu Yu's side, except for Wang Yue, almost did not end well. Before, Yu Ban made his own decision to assassinate Liu Yu, but in the end, Liu Yu didn't kill him, but almost killed Liu Yu's son. Yu Ban was also slaughtered by Liu Yu in the end.
Cao Cao and Liu Yu are too familiar with each other, and they are very clear about Liu Yu's careful eyes. If he did something to Liu Yu, even if he was hurt a little, Liu Yu would be crazy about revenge. Cao Cao himself is not afraid, there are people guarding him all the time. But his family does not have such a guardian power as Cao Cao, in case a bad Liu Yu sprinkles his anger on Cao Cao's family, Cao Cao can only cry.
Therefore, Cao Cao didn't dare to do anything to Liu Yu.
Guo Jia could only sigh that Liu Yu was too strong, and even Cao Cao didn't dare to make a move on Liu Yu. Guo Jia knew that only if the assassination of Liu Yu succeeded and plunged the Shenwu Imperial Court into the greatest chaos, would Cao Cao and other princes have a chance to turn over. Now that Liu Yu is on his way back to Luoyang, it is a good opportunity for assassination, if he gives up this opportunity, let Liu Yu enter Luoyang, and there will be no chance in the future. Cao Cao could only be pressed by Liu Yu forever, and was finally annexed by Liu Yu.
From Cao Cao's expression, it can be seen that Cao Cao will not change his mind, and Guo Jia, as a subordinate, cannot force Cao Cao.
"Lord, since you choose to fight against Liu Yu! In the next place, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman! Guo Jia decided to play with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled: "Fengxiao, let's not be so low, it's not so easy for Liu Yu to defeat Gu!" If he dared to come, Lone Ke would beat him severely. Lone is not Sun Ce's stinky boy who has not dried up. ”
Guo Jia smiled bitterly, Cao Cao is such a person, he has become like this, and he can still joke.
Liu Yu, who was given up assassination by Cao Cao, finally returned to Luoyang City after many days of advancement.
In the distance of the convoy is the huge Luoyang City, and after Li Gui saw it, he said excitedly to Liu Yu in the car outside the car: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is almost here." ”
Liu Yu walked out, saw the majestic city in the distance, and the distance was about five miles, and said with emotion: "This expedition is really long." Spread my will and speed up. ”
The entire convoy quickly marched towards Luoyang City.
Luoyang received the news of Liu Yu's return as early as a few days ago. Liu Xuan, the crown prince of the prison state, had already begun the work of welcoming Liu Yu's return with the help of Huang Zhong and others.
After a few days of busy work, all the things to welcome Liu Yu were prepared. At this time, Liu Xuan was wearing the court clothes of the prince of the Han Dynasty and was waiting for Liu Yu's return at the south gate of Luoyang City. In addition to Liu Xuan, there are also Wenchen generals led by Huang Zhong and a large number of ordinary people, who are all waiting for Liu Yu's return. During this period, there were constantly knights reporting back and forth the distance between Liu Yu's convoy and Luoyang. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the military and civilians, were eagerly looking forward to Liu Yu's early arrival. Liu Yu's southern expedition this time is a triumphant return, the general trend of the world has gradually become clear, no accident, the day when the world will return to stability is not far away. The people are full of expectations that they can live a stable and prosperous life, and their Majesty is naturally extremely respectful of the invincible and invincible Majesty today. Needless to say, civil and military officials. Your Majesty's triumphant return must be a great joy of the dragon's face, and he will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate. In order to support Liu Yu's southern expedition, officials of all sizes under Liu Yu tightened their clothes and food to save expenses. There are some honest officials who haven't been late for a long time. Especially like Mi Heng, who is pretentious, is even more like a bowl of white noodles, talking about fully supporting His Majesty's actions. Of course, there are also some officials who are tight on the surface, but secretly they are big fish and meat. These people are naturally in the minority. Now they are eagerly looking forward to a good meal. If Liu Yu was a little happier, it would not be impossible to reward the civil and military officials more.
The big guys are happily awaiting the return of their majesty. But the crown prince Liu Xuan is now nervous to death.
The queen of the world is not able to show her face on such an occasion, only Liu Xuan and Liu Hua, who are sons, will come to greet Liu Yu.
Liu Xuan was fully prepared to greet his father, but he had not found Liu Hua so far.
Before that, Liu Xuan kept telling Liu Hua not to make trouble, and he must be fully prepared to meet his father. Liu Hua agreed, but by now, all the officials and people in Luoyang had arrived, and as Liu Yu's son and the prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hua did not appear at this time.
Liu Xuandu was about to die, and hurriedly let his henchmen go to find Liu Hua. Because Liu Hua was ordered by Liu Yu to enter and leave the palace freely, except for the night when he had to spend the night in the palace, Liu Hua could leave the palace at other times. But Liu Xuan searched almost the entire palace, and he was stunned that he didn't find any trace of Liu Hua. It's strange that Liu Xuan isn't worried.
"Second brother, you'd better hurry up. If your father arrives and you don't show up, you'll be miserable. Liu Xuan's heart kept praying that Liu Hua would appear.
Dianman, who was sent out to find Liu Hua, came back.
"How? Did you find it? Liu Xuan asked.
Dian Man said bitterly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has been looking for a long time and has not found any trace of the prince. ”
Liu Xuan's embarrassment, his ability to pawn is not bad, and even he can't find Liu Hua, so this matter is serious.
"Where the hell did this kid go! If the father gets angry later, it's over. Liu Xuan blamed himself very much, he was in charge of supervising the country and guarding Luoyang, and he usually had to deal with a lot of things, and he didn't have much time to take care of Liu Hua. Now that Liu Hua has even made a mistake in welcoming Liu Yu, this matter is serious.
When Liu Xuan was about to send someone to continue the search, a knight quickly came to him, dismounted and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty's royal drive is about to arrive in Luoyang!" ”
Well, now there is no time to go to Liu Hua, Liu Xuan can only smile bitterly, it seems that Liu Hua will be miserable later.
"Go to meet my father!" Liu Xuan gave the order.
Liu Yu's convoy kept approaching the city gate, and Liu Yu had already stood up. The people on both sides of the road fell to their knees and shouted for your majesty.
The mezzanine is welcome, endless. Rao is Liu Yu has experienced a lot of such a situation, and now he is enjoying it very much. Luoyang is his base camp, and this is his Liu Yu's home.
The orchestra of the palace began to play the triumphal music of the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xuan took the civil and military courtiers to Liu Yu's frame, leaned over and saluted, and said, "The sons and daughters welcome the triumphant return of the father!" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty's triumph!" The courtiers led by Huang Zhong said in unison.
Liu Yu's frame stopped in front of Liu Xuan and the others, and Liu Yu, who was standing on the frame, looked down at everyone and said with a smile: "Flat!" ”
"Your Majesty (Father)!" Liu Xuan and the others all got up.
I haven't seen Liu Xuan and the civil and military courtiers for a long time, and Liu Yu is also strange and misses, and said, "I went out for this time. The prince and Aiqing have worked hard. ”
Liu Xuan came out without humility or arrogance and said: "My father's imperial expedition led to pacify Jingzhou and lay the foundation for the stability of the Han Dynasty. ”
This made Liu Yu's heart feel comfortable, and a bright smile appeared on his face, as if to say that he saw it, this is my son, how comfortable and intimate he is.
Thinking of his son, Liu Yu found that Liu Xuan was the only one here, and looked around for a week, but Liu Hua's figure was not there.
Liu Xuan's heart chuckled, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, and his father found out that his second brother was no longer here.
"Xizhi, where is your brother?" Liu Yu asked suspiciously.
Liu Xuan didn't know how to answer Liu Yu's words, if he lied for Liu Hua, it might cause Liu Yu to be unhappy. But after all, he is an elder brother, and he can't help but carry it for his younger brother, so he said with an unchanged face: "Father, the second brother said that he wanted to prepare a gift for his father."
When the big guy heard the prince's words, he immediately had respect for Liu Hua, the king of Zhao. King Zhao, the "Demon King of the Mixed World", who has been plagued by the whole of Luoyang, actually has such a great filial piety, and specially prepared a gift to give to His Majesty, this filial piety is comparable to the filial piety recorded in the ancient books.
After Liu Yu heard it, his heart warmed, in the end, it was his own child, even if he was a little stubborn, but he still had his father in his heart, and he was definitely his own.
For Liu Xuan, Liu Yu believed it very much, and he did not doubt Liu Xuan's words. Liu Xuan saw Liu Yu's expression and knew that he was stabilizing the situation, so he quietly gave Dian Man a look, and Dian Man knew it, so he slipped away unconsciously, he wanted to find Liu Hua, and told Liu Hua what Liu Xuan had just said, so as not to break the basket.
"Enter the city, go back to the palace!" Liu Yu said softly.
Under a mighty triumphal music, the imperial guards formed an advance phalanx and walked ahead, and Liu Yu's convoy slowly entered Luoyang City. And Liu Xuan, as the crown prince, got into Liu Yu's car. As the prince, Liu Xuan is qualified to sit next to Liu Yu. The others could only follow behind Liu Yu's frame.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Xuan, who was growing up, and found that this time was gone, and his son had grown more heroic.
"Time doesn't leave anyone. This kid is so old. Liu Yu sighed in his heart.
The procession slowly came to the palace, and all the palace doors were opened. This is the treatment that only the Son of Heaven has to return to the palace in triumph. Usually, Liu Yu enters and exits the palace, just opening the main entrance.
Liu Yu entered the palace, and his queen of the main palace waited for him in the palace with Liu Yu's two little wives. At this moment, Liu Yu's wives are all wearing formal clothes, very dignified and noble.
After entering the palace, the civil and military courtiers stopped near the palace gate, and according to the rules, they could not continue to advance. The palace is heavily guarded, and there are too many rules, and you can't make a mistake. Moreover, the queen and others are waiting for Your Majesty, and it is inappropriate to be a courtier to be a light bulb.
"The concubines greet Your Majesty." Queen Huang Die misses Liu Yu very much, she is worried about Liu Yu's comfort every day, and at this time Liu Yu is back, her mood is excited.
Liu Yu saw that his wife, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was in front of him, so he quickly got out of the carriage, quickly came to Huang Die's side, held Huang Die's hand, and said softly, "I'm back." ”
A simple sentence made everyone feel Liu Yu's affection for Huang Die. Cai Yan and Zhen Mi were a little jealous, and the two of them also missed Liu Yu very much, but Liu Yu didn't seem to notice them in their eyes.
Huang Die is a woman who cares about the overall situation, she already knows Liu Yu's intentions, and said a little shyly: "Your Majesty, the two sisters also miss Your Majesty very much." ”
"Hehe, what are you both doing? Come here. Liu Yu said with a smile.
Cai Yan and Zhen Mi rushed over immediately, they were in the way of etiquette just now, but now with Liu Yu's orders, they don't have to worry too much.
Liu Yu hugged both of them, and this intimate action made Cai Yan and Zhen Mi both very shy.
"This, father, the child has retired first." A voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Yu.
It turned out that Liu Xuan was in the same car as Liu Yu, Liu Yu got out of the car, and he also got out of the car. And Liu Yu's intimate movements, Liu Xuan saw them all.
Liu Yu was shocked, everything he did was seen by his son, which was a big shame.
But Liu Yu couldn't change his face, and said lightly: "Well, Xizhi, you go and arrange it, I will have a big banquet later!" ”
"Yes, Father." Liu Xuan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he took the task.
Cai Yan and Zhen Mi blushed with shame, how ashamed they were just now.
Huang Die laughed out loud, which made Liu Yu very embarrassed.
Liu Xuan, who walked away slowly, thought: "The relationship between the father and the queen mother is so good, it seems that it is not for nothing. Well, if you have a chance in the future, ask your father for advice. ”
