The Qiang people killed by Ma Chao in Liangzhou complained bitterly, and they continued to strengthen themselves through war.

And Liu Yu has already planted a nail beside Ma Chao, as long as Ma Chao has different intentions, he can know the relevant information as soon as possible.

Liu Yu returned to Luoyang with the victorious army, and the people of Luoyang welcomed him. Liu Yu waved eagerly to the people, causing bursts of cheers.

The first thing he did when he returned to Luoyang was to report the relevant situation to Liu Xie. Liu Yu impassionedly recounted the excitement of this battle in the court, and recommended Ma Teng and Ma Chao to Liu Xie, and at the same time rewarded the meritorious soldiers this time. None of the ministers objected, and Liu Yu's proposal was quickly adopted. However, Liu Yu found that Liu Xie's eyes looked at him as if he was a little unkind.

Liu Yu is very sensitive to this. Although he holds the huge trump card of the Son of Heaven, Liu Yu has never used Liu Xie's name too much to provoke contradictions between the princes, after all, although Liu Xie and Liu Yu are called monarchs, their relationship is very good, and Liu Yu does not want to ruin the friendship between the two. Liu Xie's unkind eyes made Liu Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Liu Yu returned to the palace, and Li Gui sorted out all the things that happened when Liu Yu was not in Luoyang and informed Liu Yu.

Liu Yu finally knew why Liu Xie looked at him unkindly.

In fact, Liu Xie originally believed in Liu Yu very much, and decided that Liu Yu would not be unfavorable to him. But Dong Cheng and Fu Wan let their daughter blow the wind in Liu Xie's ears every day, so that Liu Xie began to consider Liu Yu's attitude towards him in his heart. Liu Xie, who was getting older and older, suddenly found that almost the entire court was Liu Yu's one-word hall, and the ministers who were loyal to Liu Xie were also useless, and Liu Xie felt that he was being hollowed out.

Liu Xie wanted to make a difference, but Liu Yu was so strong that he, the emperor, became unauthoritative, which he couldn't accept.

Moreover, Liu Yu is also the "son" of Emperor Ling, and he also has the legal right to inherit the throne. Liu Xie didn't know when he would be ousted from the throne. Liu Xie, who was unwilling, lost the throne in this way, and also started his own plan, and the communication with Dong Cheng and Fu Wan also became more.

After reading all the information, Liu Yu sighed, originally he wanted to have a pair of brothers, friends and brothers with Liu Xie, but his subordinates would never agree, and in the future, when the world is unified, they will also push Liu Yu up. So Liu Xie and Liu Yu could only turn their faces, but Liu Yu didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Increase the monitoring of the palace, no matter how big or small!" After Liu Yu said this, he let Li Gui out.

Li Gui felt a sadness from Liu Yu's words. Li Gui was the first to follow Liu Yu, knowing that Liu Yu is a person who values feelings, Liu Xie and Liu Yu have an extraordinary relationship, and now the two are slowly cracking, no wonder Liu Yu is a little sad in his words.

"Lord, those who achieve great things can't pay attention to affection." Li Gui wanted to say this to Liu Yu very much, but he didn't say it many times.

In the palace, Liu Xie sat with Fu Wan and Dong Cheng.

Regarding Liu Xie's changes, Dong Chenghe Fu Wan is happy to see it. As long as Liu Xie has doubts about Liu Yu, then the relationship between them cannot return to the way it was. Dong Chenghe Fu Wan looked at Liu Xie with satisfaction, hoping that he could lead the ministers of the DPRK and China to overthrow Liu Yu's hegemony and regain power.

Liu Xie himself didn't know when he started, and he had doubts about Liu Yu in his heart. However, Liu Xie, who is determined to be a good emperor, must hold the power in his hands. So Liu Xie can only stand up to Liu Yu. Power can really get lost in it. No matter how good Liu Yu is to Liu Xie, in the face of power, Liu Xie will not miss the old feelings.

"The two princes, how to start with the current situation?" Liu Xie asked.

Fu Wan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, King Zhao is powerful, and at the moment he can only fight steadily and gradually seize all the rights. ”

After this method, it can only be said that it is nonsense, and there is no actual method at all.

Liu Xie was very dissatisfied, but he said: "Fu Guozhang is really old and seeking the country." ”

Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that the most important thing at the moment is to control the palace guard army, if this cannot be mastered, we will always be controlled by others, and our lives cannot be guaranteed." ”

"Lord Dong, the palace guards are all King Zhao's people now, will rash action cause Liu Yu's vigilance? I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Mr. Dong didn't think about it. Fu Wan raised objections, he and Dong Cheng are competitors, so they naturally want to seize the opportunity to suppress Dong Cheng.

Liu Xie was also a little worried.

Dong Cheng understood that if he didn't show his ability, he would be pressed down by the ambush. Dong Cheng said confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty can select useful talents from among the ministers and nephews who are loyal to Your Majesty in the court, recruit them as Lang officials, and disperse them to the palace guards, and slowly control the entire guards. At that time, no one in the palace will be able to enter and leave freely except His Majesty. ”

"That's a great thing!" Liu Xie is very satisfied with this method. Every year, the imperial court recruits talented people, and as long as they are brought under their command, they can form a powerful force in time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also used the same method to regain power in his early years, and finally became a generation of Ming monarchs.

Liu Xie agreed with Dong Cheng's suggestion, which made Fu Wan feel the pressure, he racked his brains to think of another point, and said: "Your Majesty, there are many people under the command of King Zhao who are loyal to Your Majesty. The old minister thought that His Majesty should try his best to win him over. ”

"Lord Fu laughed, King Zhao's subordinates are all the only ones who are the head of King Zhao, who can win them over?" Of course, Dong Cheng will not forget the hatred that suppressed him just now.

Liu Xie said a little gloomily: "Brother Huang's control over his subordinates is extraordinary. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as far as the old minister knows, King Zhao's command is not monolithic. Die-hard loyalists like Dian Wei, Chen Gong, and Huang Zhong naturally can't waste their energy. But people like Li Su and Hou Cheng who are not reused by King Zhao are the objects that His Majesty can woo, and even Ma Teng and Ma Chao, who have just been attached, are His Majesty's best choice. The easiest way to destroy an enemy is to start from within, and His Majesty must not pass up such a great opportunity. Fu Wan confidently said his thoughts.

"It seems a little unfair to the royal brother." Liu Xie's heart was moved, and the method of Fu Wan was very feasible, but he still couldn't bear to do such a thing to Liu Yu.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the foundation founded by Gaozu, it is inevitable that you will not be able to do something to King Zhao, please think twice!" Fu Wan and Dong Cheng expressed their disdain for Liu Xie's words, if Liu Xie really took into account Liu Yu's feelings, he would not have consulted with them.

Liu Xie got down the stairs, and the little guilt in his heart quickly disappeared, and said, "Then let's do what the two princes say." I have to do this for the sake of the country. ”

"The ministers obey Your Majesty's holy decree, Your Majesty is wise!" Fu Wan and Dong Cheng knelt down and bowed.

With Liu Xie's support, their strength to resist Liu Yu became even stronger.

Liu Xie also began to change.
