"During my absence, I was thanks to Uncle Huang's handling of Luoyang."

On the magnificent hall, the emperor Liu Dai sat on the stage, and the civil and military officials were listed below, and the first person was Liu Hui, the king of Jiangdu.

Liu Hui's father, Liu You, was the first king of Jiangdu, and Liu You was the same generation as Emperor Xuanwu Liu Min, the grandson of Liu Chan and the great-grandson of Emperor Zhaolie.

Therefore, Liu You's son Liu Hui, this generation is also the father of Emperor Liu Dai and King Liu of Guanghan, and the previous generation of Emperor Liu Zhen is the same generation, and he is the imperial uncle of these two princes.

However, his uncle faced the emperor, but he couldn't put the elders on the shelf, but had to bow his hands respectfully and listen to the words, and when Liu Dai finished speaking, he followed the etiquette for the first time, and then said: "This is what the minister should do, Your Majesty and the regent are for the stability of the country, and the war is outside, and the minister hates to follow each other. ”

"Uncle Huang is polite." After Liu Dai said a few words, he felt a little bored, and sat on the top of the head of the head, and his imperial brother Liu Chu, the king of Guanghan, came out of the column at this time, which was conducive to the bottom of the steps, looked directly at Liu Hui, and said: "Uncle Huang, during this time in Luoyang, there has been no big mess, this is indeed your credit, but I let you sit in Luoyang, and it also means to supervise the grain and grass of the army, and this matter is not very good." ”

Liu Hui was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of unaccustomed and unhappy look flashed in his eyes, during this period of time, the emperor and the king of Guanghan were not in the capital, although he Jiangdu King could not decide on matters big and small, but Shangshu made Zhang Ying and others respect him very much, and asked about everything, which made him feel a great power.

Not to mention, ruling the land of Luoyang and sitting in the center of the empire, the feeling of heaven and earth rotating for it is even more like a shadow, and he can't get rid of it, no one dares to show him a face, let alone reprimand and inquire unceremoniously in person.

As a result, as soon as Liu Hui came back today, he Liu Hui had to make a low posture, and he was already a little unaccustomed to it, but now it was good, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Chu's words were even more accountable, and it suddenly made Liu Hui feel a little unable to get off the stage.

In fact, from the perspective of others, Liu Chu's words are a little heavier, but his style of speaking is almost like this, after all, it is Zhang Quan for a long time, and he will not scruple too much at all.

What has really changed is actually Liu Hui's mentality.

However, he did not lose his mind in the end, and he also knew that in terms of authority, he could not compare with Liu Chu, and the reason why he was able to take power was because of Liu Chu's trust, because he had a good relationship with Liu Chu, and he had always given people an image of no quarrel with others, so he could get this opportunity.

So he immediately said that he had not done enough and was willing to accept punishment.

"I say this not to punish you, but to tell you that this quelling the rebellion and exterminating the traitors is not a matter of one person or one place, but of the whole government!" When Liu Chu spoke, he didn't look at Liu Hui at all, but wanted to use the topic to play and sound the alarm to everyone present, "Now, the traitors in the southwest have not been pacified, and there are incidents in the northwest, the Xianbei civil war will inevitably affect the Central Plains, and the disaster in Hebei has just been controlled, and there are still many thieves who have not been exterminated, we must not take it lightly!" ”

Hearing this, both the civil and military forces in the court nodded yes.

For Liu Chu and Liu Hui, such a scene is not unfamiliar, the former didn't feel anything and continued to explain things, while the latter felt a pain in his heart, because before this, such a scene was echoed by everyone, but today, he wanted to go with everyone to compliment Liu Chu.

It just so happened that at this time, Liu Chu's words returned to Liu Hui's body-

"Uncle Huang, you have worked hard during this time, and you can put down this burden in the future, I heard that you have a Buddhist commentary in the capital, which is also a good thing, but at the moment, the four sides are not quiet, such a thing should not be publicized, otherwise the historian will know, and I don't know how to write it."

Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is to get rid of his own rights, and suddenly there was anger and frustration in his heart at the same time, and there was an urge to get up immediately and talk to Liu Zhu clearly, to talk about how difficult it has been for him during this period of time, and how difficult it is to maintain the stability of this huge city.

But in the end, this impulse was still suppressed by reason, he clearly realized that he and Liu Chu have an essential difference, that is, he has no soldiers in his hands, whether it is the soldiers and horses guarding the capital, or the Chinese army outside, there are a bunch of people who are loyal to him Liu Chu, and even the king of Jiangdu can sit firmly in Luoyang, no one provokes, and no one comes forward to make trouble because of his airborne, and he also relies on the Luoyang garrison, he really wants to compete with the king of Guanghan, he has no possibility of victory.

In view of this, the person bowed his head.

Subsequently, this court meeting became a concentrated summary of the Luoyang problem by Liu Chu, the king of Guanghan, in the past period of time, this regent was far away in Guanzhong and Shu, but listening to his words, he actually had a very clear grasp of the situation in Luoyang, and even such a thing as Buddha commented on it, and he actually knew the result.

However, as the civil and military officials stood up one by one to report their work because of King Guanghan's inquiry, the sense of loss in the heart of Liu Hui, the king of Jiangdu, became stronger and stronger.

Liu Hui lowered his head, silently, trying not to attract attention, and the people around him did ignore him, but not everyone was like this, that Shangshu Ling Zhang Ying noticed the strange appearance of the king of Jiangdu, his eyes rolled, he already understood the reason, but he didn't say anything.

After saying this, a long time has passed, and the emperor Liu Dai sitting on the stage can no longer sit still.

Subsequently, some eunuchs announced the end of today's court meeting, and all the officials retired.

Liu Hui also retreated with the crowd, and he didn't know if it was his delusion, or if it was due to his feelings, when he walked out of the palace gate, he found that the officials along the way seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

However, whether it is an illusion or not, the scene of being surrounded by everyone in the past is gone forever.

This is also normal, the past authority of Liu Hui, the king of Jiangdu, has been removed in the three words of Liu Hui, the king of Guanghan, without these authority, even if other officials want to talk to him, it may not be of any help, maybe he will be caught by political enemies under the pretext of making friends with the vassal king.

"That's it, that's it, this Luoyang garrison is an accident, if there is no such thing, I am still happy in Jiangdu, where do you have to worry here, let's go back."

Thinking so, comforting himself, King Jiangdu stepped back, but when he left the palace, he found that there was still a person standing next to his carriage, as if waiting for him.

Take a closer look, it's not the Shangshu Ling Zhang Ying, who is it?

"Your Majesty, you're a little slow today." Zhang Ying saw Liu Hui and walked over with a smile.

King Jiangdu was a little surprised, and then smiled: "Zhang Shangshu is waiting for the Lone King here?" ”

Zhang Ying nodded and said: "Naturally, the king must have forgotten, you and I made an appointment yesterday to think of a countermeasure for the situation in Hebei, and at the same time, the situation in Youzhou is not optimistic, if you don't make a decision as soon as possible, when Wang Jun becomes bigger, the court will be difficult to govern him, and he will be given what he wants." ”

King Jiangdu became more and more surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Shangshu is afraid that he has found the wrong person, from now on, it will be difficult for this king to interfere in these matters." There was inevitably a hint of loss in his words.

"You can't say that," Zhang Ying laughed and pointed to the carriage, "This thing is still different." ”

King Jiangdu's heart moved, so he pulled Zhang Yingtong to ride in his car, and said as he walked.

"The return of King Guanghan is just a good thing, but he is not in Luoyang during this time, many things know the situation, but I don't know the reason, and I don't know the development trend, I can't compare to you, you have talked with me for a long time, you know the situation in the frontier very well, and you also know the next development situation, you should talk more to King Guanghan in this regard."

Liu Hui smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "My nephew, it is not possible to make sense in one or two sentences, and now that he has returned, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in the capital for long, and I will have to rely on your assistance after that." ”

"The prince's words are wrong." Zhang Ying shook his head, which made Liu Hui a little surprised, "Isn't the prince planning to go back to that fiefdom and not ask about the court?" ”

"What if it weren't?" Liu Hui's heart moved, and he heard the subconscious meaning of those words, "Staying here may not be of any use, not to mention today's court meeting, King Guanghan has already made it very clear, and my previous disposal methods are still insufficient." ”

Zhang Ying shook his head and said: "The shortcomings are really the difference in your thoughts and focus when dealing with the problem with the king of Guanghan. ”

Liu Hui listened to these words comfortably, but he was still modest, but the estrangement with Zhang Ying dissipated, and he couldn't help asking: "Then according to the meaning of Shangshu, how should this king stay to assist the regent and the emperor?" He believed that Zhang Ying was giving advice to himself.

Zhang Ying shook his head and said, "If you stay, how can you get along with King Guanghan?" And it is inevitable to arouse suspicion. ”

Liu Hui suddenly frowned and said: "Shang Shumo is not here to entertain this king, didn't you suggest that this king not return to the fiefdom in your previous words?" Now he said not to stay in Luoyang, what does this mean? ”

Zhang Ying smiled unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, isn't this in Luoyang, not in Jiangdu, the world is so big, there is no second place to go?" ”

Zhang Ying heard this, and immediately a spiritual light flashed in his mind, as if splitting the fog and seeing the blue sky, he suddenly opened his mouth, and he said in a low voice: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Ying raised his hand, pointed to the north, and said with a smile: "At this time of crisis, the king is a relative of the Han family, and there are great sages, so he should be worried about the country!" ”
