Chapter 45: Meeting Liu Hong I
Huo Yu went back to the room to wash up and walked to the backyard study, this time to achieve the goal of entering Beijing must be supported by his father-in-law, yesterday I heard that my father-in-law is also going to Beijing, always ask when it will come!
Before coming to the study, Huo Yu was about to knock on the door when he saw Cai Yan open the door from the house, the two of them were no longer embarrassed when they met, Huo Yu spoke first: "Sister Yan, early!" ”
Cai Yan lowered his head and ran to the backyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Huo Yu touched his cheek and muttered, "Am I the big bad wolf?" ”
At this moment, Cai Yong appeared, looked at Huo Yu with a smile and asked, "Yu'er, what is the difference between this big bad wolf and ordinary wolves?" ”
Huo Yu is embarrassed at the moment! I really don't know what to do. Cai Yong laughed loudly twice, and said to Huo Yu again: "Let's go to breakfast together, and then go to the city gate to greet Brother Zu Rong at noon." ”
"Yu, I was about to ask my father-in-law about this, but it seems that I am one step too late! Does the father-in-law know what His Majesty means by summoning his father-in-law to Beijing? Huo Yu said as he saluted.
On the official road of Luoyang, dozens of cavalry in a carriage rushed forward under the scorching sun, these cavalrymen were all wearing white feather helmets and leather armor, and the momentum emanating from them frightened the passers-by to consciously avoid.
"Where did this cavalry come from, it is better than the elite of the Northern Army!" A merchant waiting on the side of the road muttered.
"Look at this outfit, it is the same as Huo Huben's cavalry who returned to the dynasty yesterday, they are all wearing white feather helmets on their heads."
"Yes, yes, yesterday I was fortunate to see the triumph of Wang Shi, although there are only 100 Huo Huben cavalry, but the momentum is not comparable to the elite of the Northern Army, and then look at this carriage is not something ordinary people can ride."
"I heard that Huo Huben is the son of King Chen, is it King Chen's frame?"
Outside the east gate of Luoyang, Cai Yong, Huo Yu and others waited here for nearly an hour. The weather was extremely hot, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and Liao Hua on the side bumped Zhang Fei with his arm and gave him a look, meaning to be a little restless. Zhang Fei glared at Liao Hua, and was about to open his mouth when he heard Huo Yu say: "Brother Yide, the weather is hot, you and Yuan Jian quickly go to get some herbal tea, I don't know how long we have to wait." ”
Zhang Fei touched the back of his head and smiled, pulled Liao Hua to find herbal tea. As soon as the two left, Cai Yong said to Huo Yu: "Zhang Yide is brave, Liao Hua is steady, both of them have the qualifications of generals, Yu'er must be trained well in the future!." ”
"What my father-in-law said is that I will definitely train the two of them well in the future."
I don't know how long it took, but there was a sound of horses' hooves on the official road. Looking from afar, it was like a white cloud galloping, Huo Yu immediately said: "It's coming!" ”
The guards at the city gate also noticed the cavalry at this moment, and they all looked nervous, after all, they had never been on the battlefield. When they were 500 paces from the city gate, all the cavalry slowed down their horses so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Your Highness, Luoyang has arrived. Lord Cai and Gongzi were waiting at the city gate. The cavalry turned his horse's head and shouted into the car.
In an instant, all the horsemen slowed down their horses, then dismounted, and each led his horse to the city gate. Seeing Cai Yong and Huo Yu stepping forward, the cavalry led by them immediately bowed and said, "The last general, Liu Ji, meets Lord Cai and meets Gongzi." ”
"I've seen Lord Cai, I've seen Childe." The cavalry behind him saluted in unison.
Huo Yu stepped forward to help Liu Ji and then said to the cavalry: "Brothers, hurry up and excuse me, it's extremely hot all the way, I asked Brother Yide to prepare herbal tea, and everyone will go to relieve the heat first." ”
After speaking, the person in the car raised the curtain and walked out, and Huo Yu immediately saluted: "The child has seen his father-in-law." ”
"Hahaha, my son doesn't have to be polite, let my father see it! Well, it's a lot stronger. After speaking, he walked forward quickly and saluted: "There is Brother Lao Bo who has been waiting for a long time. ”
"Brother Zu Rong, you and I are already a family, so why be polite, drink herbal tea first, relieve the heat, and then go back to the house!"
After everyone drank the herbal tea, Liao Hua had already fought with the captain of the city gate through money. informed that the cavalry in front of him was escorting King Chen's carriage, and he was ordered to enter Beijing to face the saint. So the captain stepped forward to see His Royal Highness King Chen with a smile, and after a symbolic inspection, he let everyone enter the city. Liu Ji took five guards to enter Cai's mansion, and the rest were led by Liao Hua to the military camp to find Xu Rong to settle down.
When night fell, Cai Yong's mansion, in the study on the east side, Cai Yong, Liu Chong, and Huo Yu talked for a long time in the study. When Huo Yu said that he wanted to go to Liaodong to be too punctual, Cai Yong and Liu Chong objected at the same time: "What is the use of going to the bitter cold land of Liaodong?" It's better to be an official in Beijing. ”
Huo Yu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, please listen to me." ”
"This time, Yu Pingchao's meritorious deeds are enough, however, in today's imperial court, the eunuchs' relatives are fighting fiercely, and tomorrow's heroes who will be awarded in the court will definitely fight for me. If you stay in Luoyang, Kyoto, you will inevitably be on the cusp. Moreover, the ambition of Yu is to uphold the merits of the ancestors and fight the barbarians. Huo Yu said his reasons in one breath, waiting for the reaction of the two.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Liu Pet took the lead and said, "Yu'er, what you said is not unreasonable. But the eunuch power will not be anywhere for a day, and His Majesty will eventually be confused by it. ”
"Thinking about it, Yu'er's words are indeed reasonable. If you are released as an official, you can grow a side of military power, and you will also help when you get rid of the eunuchs. However, Yu'er is much stronger than the bitter cold land in Liaodong. Cai Yong thought about it and said.
"Father-in-law, the ancients, Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest, this turmoil, Yu is in the limelight, I am afraid that it will be .......... in the future" Huo Yu said that he would not say much.
"Yu'er, can you know Liaodong?" Liu Chong immediately asked, Cai Yong was also staring at Huo Yu at the moment, as if to say, if you don't say one, two, three, you will never let you go.
Seeing this situation, Huo Yu had no choice but to slowly say the situation he had mastered: "Liaodong is here ..............."
In the end, the two were persuaded by Huo Yu, and Liu Chong finally reminded Huo Yu that his majesty would ask about his life experience in the court tomorrow, so that he could be fully prepared. Then Huo Yu was dragged by Cai Yong to learn the etiquette of the audience, and he didn't go back to the house to rest until late at night.
Since Emperor Wu "deposed the hundred schools of thought, respect Confucianism alone", etiquette has become the standard of morality and behavior in society, its importance is self-evident, the face of the saint must bow three times and bow nine times, as a modern person Huo Yu although he can not accept such a cumbersome etiquette, but still learn it hard.
The next day, before the hour came, Huo Yu, who had not woken up, was called up by the housekeeper Uncle Fu, no way, it was so troublesome to enter the Hajj to see the Son of Heaven in ancient times. When Huo Yu wore the court clothes sent by Xiaohuangmen yesterday, the whole person changed a temperament, Cai Yong and Liu Pet prepared one after another, and the three of them hastily ate something, and then took the car to the palace, along the way Huo Yu's mood was also both excited and nervous, and he was about to see the living emperor, and he didn't know what the desolate Spirit Emperor looked like.
Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into: South Palace, North Palace, East Palace, West Palace, Changqiu Palace, Yong'an Palace, Yongle Palace. The palace is magnificent and magnificent. The south palace and the north palace are the palaces of the upper court, the court to discuss politics and hold national celebrations, the west palace is the sleeping palace, the east palace is the palace where the crown prince lives, the Changqiu Palace is the palace where the queen lives, and the Yong'an Palace and Yongle Palace are the palaces where the queen mother lives. There is a royal road between the South Palace and the North Palace of Luoyang City, and there is a guard every ten steps, which is very spectacular.
After arriving at the gate of the palace, there were already many officials waiting here, Cai Yong and Liu Pet knew more people, and they came forward to greet them, but Huo Yu had to follow the two and deal with it calmly. Suddenly, Huo Yu saw a familiar face, and Huo Yu stepped forward and saluted: "Brother Mengde, morning!" In the past few days, I have just arrived in the capital and have a lot of trivial matters, and I have not been able to drink with Brother Meng De to catch up with the old days, ashamed, ashamed. ”
"Haha, Brother Huo Xian, it doesn't have to be like this! These days,, it's also very busy, and after today's court meeting, it's not too late for us to find a place to drink. Cao Cao laughed and said.
"Mengde, don't make a loud noise here." A white-faced and slightly bearded, handsome and mighty, quite famous and gentlemanly person hurriedly reminded.
", Meng Lang, thank you for the reminder." Then he said to Huo Yu: "This is Yuan Shao Yuan's original beginning, and he is also my friend." ”
"Mengde, who is this?"
"Brother Benchu, this is Huo Yu, the general of the Tiger Ben, you don't need me to say anything!"
Hearing the word Ben Chu, Huo Yu knew the origin of this person, but he had to do a full set of plays, "Yu, I've seen Ben Chu's brother" Huo Yu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
For now, it is still beneficial to be close to Yuan Shao.
