Chapter 580: The Wind is Treacherous

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Zhang Kun bowed and said, "Yes!" Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu continued: "Send an edict to Liu Long, let him take Deputy Chen, go to Zhending, and summon Liu Yang to Beijing. ”

Whether it is for Peng Pet or Liu Yang, Liu Xiu still has feelings, and when he summoned the two of them to Beijing, Liu Xiu was not only reminding them, but also giving them a chance not to make a rebellion.

Since Liu Yang was the king and Guo Shengtong's uncle, Liu Xiu naturally attached more importance to Liu Yang, and sent the guerrilla general Liu Long and the cavalry lieutenant Chen Deputy to Zhending to 'invite' Liu Yang to Beijing.

As for Peng Chong, Liu Xiu sent an attendant to Yuyang with the holy decree.

Let's say that Liu Long and Deputy Chen, after receiving Liu Xiu's will, immediately set off for Zhending.

However, they didn't see Liu Yang at all. I don't know if it's because of the relationship between being thieves, after Liu Yang heard the news of the arrival of Liu Long and Deputy Chen, he immediately ordered to close the gate of Zhending City and keep the two out of the city. Liu Long and Deputy Chen didn't say that they hadn't seen Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, and the two of them didn't even enter Zhending City. At this time, Liu Yang's rebellion was almost completely exposed. Liu Long and Deputy Chen couldn't enter the city, they couldn't see Liu Yang, and the two returned in vain, but again

It was not good to return to Luoyang to report to Liu Xiu, so the two of them had to leave Zhending, go to the county seat of Changshan County, stay temporarily, and send a letter to Liu Xiu, reporting the situation they encountered here in Zhending to Liu Xiu.

On the other side, the attendants sent by Liu Xiu to Yuyang met Peng Pet smoothly and conveyed Liu Xiu's will to Peng Pet.

Peng Pet accepted the order, but did not act according to the order.

He asked the chamberlain to return to Luoyang and reply to His Majesty, Youzhou Mu Zhu Fu, who had framed him many times, was a sinister villain, how could such a person be worthy of being the pastor of a state?

His Majesty wants to summon him to Beijing, and he can go, but there is one point, His Majesty must first remove Zhu Fu from his position as the pastor of Youzhou, and severely punish Zhu Fu, a villain.

When the chamberlain heard Peng Chong's words, he was so frightened that cold sweat flowed down, and he stammered: "Peng Taishou, this ...... Isn't that right? ”

Peng Pet's face sank, and he scolded: "If you say this, you will say this to me!" Your Majesty is a wise monarch, so he will naturally distinguish between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery! ”

The servant had no choice but to say goodbye to Peng Pet, return to Luoyang, and return to Liu Xiu.

In fact, Youzhou Mu Zhufu did not say bad things about Peng Pet on Liu Xiu's side, such as Peng Pet's private pockets, which is also true, but he said that Peng Pet was disloyal to Liu Xiu and secretly rebelled, which was really framed.

When he reported these things to Liu Xiu, Peng Pet was still very loyal to Liu Xiu.

Zhu Fu is very talented and very capable, governing the locality, he is really a good hand, he handles the government affairs of a state in an orderly manner, and he is very generous to his subordinate officials, and he is very popular.

At this point, Zhu Fu is very similar to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu has made a lot of marquis to the heroes under his command, and they are basically all marquis of thousands of households, and Liu Xiu has never been soft on rewarding ministers. This point of his was learned by Zhu Fu ten out of ten.

In addition, the famous saying "the relatives are painful, the enemies are fast" that has been passed down through the ages is from the hands of this Zhu Zhou Mu.

When Liu Xiu selected materials, he originally only planned to choose in Luoyang, but it was Zhu Fu who soothed Liu Xiu and persuaded him not to limit the selection of materials to Luoyang, but to expand it to the whole country, so that people of insight in the whole country could get the opportunity to be reused by the imperial court.

After reading Zhu Fu's recital, Liu Xiushen thought so, and immediately adopted Zhu Fu's suggestion.

Zhu Fu is such a talented person, but his virtue is really not very good, at least in this matter of Peng Pet, Zhu Fu is not a gentleman, but a complete villain.

Because Peng Pet had said disrespectful things to him before, after that, he remembered Peng Pet, and he put on small shoes for Peng Pet behind his back, and he went to Liu Xiu every now and then, framing Peng Pet's various crimes.

has such a boss who keeps making bad things for himself behind his back, even if Peng Pet doesn't want to rebel, he has to be forced to rebel alive. It can be said that Peng Pet has two hearts for Liu Xiu, and Zhu Fu has an unshirkable responsibility.

Peng Pet naturally viciously poisoned Zhu Fu, so Liu Xiu announced that he would enter Beijing, and the condition he offered was that Liu Xiu must punish Zhu Fu.

The chamberlain brought the news back to Luoyang and relayed it to Liu Xiu, who was furious when he heard it. Any emperor would be angry about this kind of thing.

Liu Xiu is the Son of Heaven, Peng Pet is a courtier, the Son of Heaven summons the courtiers to Beijing, and the courtiers have to talk to the Son of Heaven about the conditions, and they also have to interfere with the employment of the Son of Heaven.

He summoned Liu Yang into Beijing, but the envoy didn't even enter Zhending City, he summoned Peng Pet into Beijing, and Peng Pet also listed a lot of conditions for him to enter Beijing. The mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger, not to mention Liu Xiu, who has become the son of heaven?

When Liu Xiu was sulking, Zhang Kun walked in and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Guo Guiren asks to see you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Please come in." ”

After a short time, Guo Shengtong hugged Liu Qiang and walked in from the outside.

Seeing his child, the displeasure on Liu Xiu's face disappeared instantly, and he stepped forward, gently scraping the baby's pink little face with his fingers, teasing him, and asking at the same time, "Why is Shengtong here?" ”

Guo Shengtong looked at Liu Xiu and said in a low voice: "The concubine heard that His Majesty summoned his uncle to Beijing, but his uncle is not in the future?" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xiu responded lightly and didn't say anything. Guo Shengtong was at a loss, and asked with concern: "Is my uncle sick?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled at her and said with relief: "Don't worry about Shengtong, King Zhending is in the prime of life, and his health will not be in serious trouble." ”

After Guo Shengtong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. King Zhending is her biggest reliance, and if there is any wind and grass on the Zhending side, Guo Shengtong will pay great attention to it.

Liu Xiu's dissatisfaction with Liu Yang felt that he would not vent it on his wife. Guo Shengtong is Liu Yang's niece, yes, but she is also her own wife, and Liu Yang's actions have nothing to do with Guo Shengtong.

He took Liu Qiang from Guo Shengtong's arms, looked down carefully, and said with a smile: "Qiang'er is much more pleasing to the eye now than when he was born." ”

When he was born, Liu Qiang's little face was Zou Baba, like a little old man, and now the skin and flesh have been stretched, and the little doll is chubby and very cute. The more Liu Xiu looked at it, the more she felt that this child was good-looking, very much like herself......

Guo Shengtong was amused by his words, looking at Liu Xiu, who was holding the child and pampering him, Guo Shengtong's heart was warm, both relieved and happy.

She whispered: "Ah Xiu, many people in the harem are talking about it now. ”

Liu Xiu leisurely asked Liu Qiang casually, "What are you talking about?" ”

"It's just that the back position has been vacant, and the palace people will inevitably make irresponsible remarks." When Guo Shengtong spoke, he secretly glanced at Liu Xiu.

"Oh, so that's it." Until now, Liu Xiu has not decided on a candidate for the queen. He said lightly: "There is no urgency in this matter, we will talk about it later." ”

As he spoke, he held Liu Qiang with both hands and raised the little doll so high, while Liu Qiang giggled.

That night, Liu Xiu went to Yin Lihua's West Palace and once again proposed to Yin Lihua to make her the queen.

However, Yin Lihua still didn't agree this time. In the past, Guo Shengtong had no children, and the ministers of the DPRK and China generally supported Guo Shengtong as the queen, but now Guo Shengtong gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and the voice among the ministers is even higher.

If she agrees, it will only cause huge trouble for Liu Xiu. Yin Lihua didn't want her husband to be so difficult. Liu Xiu can understand her thoughts to some extent, and it is precisely because of this that Yin Lihua makes Liu Xiu feel even more heartwarming.

The next day, Liu Xiu summoned Peng Lanqing and asked him to go to Yuyang and summon Peng Pet to Beijing.

Peng Lanqing's name is written as Zihou Lanqing in the history books, and many people think that his name is Zihou Lanqing. Peng Lanqing is Peng Pet's younger brother, that is, his cousin, so how can he have the surname Zi, or the queen?

In fact, in ancient times, the queen of the son was an honorific title, similar to Gongzi, and the queen of Zi Lanqing, which can be understood as Gongzi Lanqing when translated. Peng Lanqing is still relatively loyal to Liu Xiu, and when he heard that Peng Pet did not listen to the announcement in Yuyang, and openly talked to the Son of Heaven about the conditions, he was also very annoyed, and said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty, rest assured, when Weichen goes to Yuyang, he will definitely bring his brother to Luoyang and His Majesty."

Bear the guilt! ”

Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Lan Qing, you should also be more careful on this trip, if you notice something wrong, you can return to Luoyang immediately." ”

Peng Lanqing smiled disappreciatively and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's brother is not an unreasonable person, this trip, the minister is completely sure that he can bring the brother back to Luoyang and let His Majesty leave!" Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Peng Lanqing's reply, and praised Peng Lanqing's loyalty, and showed him that he remembered Peng Pet's exploits, as long as Peng Pet did not have two hearts, he could be lenient about Peng Pet's previous disrespectful behavior

Hair falls, and even the past is not to blame. Peng Lanqing was overjoyed, left the palace, immediately returned to his mansion, packed up his salutes, and went to Yuyang. Peng Lanqing and Peng Pet are cousins, he thought that he would go to Yuyang and persuade Peng Pet to come to Luoyang, admit his mistake to the Son of Heaven, and be soft

It was all an easy task, but he really overestimated his weight in Peng Pet's mind.

On the other side, Liu Xiu sent the former general Geng Chun to Jizhou and Youzhou to issue an amnesty. In the early days of Liu Xiu's reign as emperor, an amnesty decree would be issued every year in the spring, not because of how sympathetic Liu Xiu was for the prisoners in prison, but because after years of war and destruction, the robbery and killing of the thief army, the population of Hebei withered, and the population engaged in agricultural labor was seriously inadequate

Enough, Liu Xiu could only supplement Hebei's labor force with an amnesty order.

But this time, Geng Chun's promulgation of the amnesty decree was just a pretense, and Liu Xiu's secret edict to him was to wait for the opportunity to move, and if he could catch Liu Yang, he could be arrested, and if there was no chance of being captured alive, he could also be killed.

Liu Xiu is very particular about employing people.

Geng Chun and Liu Yang are related, he is the nephew of Liu Yang's own family, and the relationship with Liu Yang is somewhat similar to Guo Shengtong. Liu Xiu sent Geng Chun to the north, which could eliminate Liu Yang's vigilance to the greatest extent.

Geng Chun was ordered by Liu Xiu to go north with the festival.

Holding the festival is equivalent to representing the Son of Heaven. Geng Chun first went to Wei County, issued an amnesty decree, and then continued north, through Zhao Land, to Changshan County, where he joined Liu Long and Chen Vice in Yuanshi, the county seat of Changshan County.

They did not stay much in Yuanshi, and then continued north to Zhending.

During this time, Liu Yang has been cowering in Zhending City, saying that he is not sick.

Liu Yang didn't make any moves, but Liu Yang's younger brother Liu Rang and cousin Liu Xi, both of whom were not idle, recruited troops and horses everywhere, hoarded grain and grass materials, and made final preparations for Liu Yang's uprising.

Geng Chun, Liu Long, and Deputy Chen, after arriving in Zhending, lived in a post station on the outskirts of Zhending City. Then, Geng Chun sent someone to the city and invited Liu Yang to the post station to talk about it.

Knowing that Geng Chun had arrived outside Zhending City and invited him to meet and talk in detail, Liu Yang really relaxed his vigilance. He was about to go out of the city to meet Geng Chun, but Liu Rang and Liu Xi both stopped him, saying that it was inappropriate.
