One day in March, Jingshi Jiankang suddenly became lively.

The Imperial City was heavily guarded inside and outside, and it seemed that important people had come to Jiankang.

It turned out that Liu Yu, the general of Xuzhou Mu and Che Cai, returned to Beijing to report on his work, and would go to Jiankang Palace today to meet the Son of Heaven.

Jiankang Palace, also known as Xianyang Palace, was built in the five years of Emperor Xianhe of Jin Dynasty, and was originally Sun Wuyuan City.

And because Shangshutai is located in the palace city, Jiankang City is also called "Taicheng".

Historically, since its completion, Taicheng has become the political center of the Southern Dynasties.

In Taicheng, the palace is magnificent and majestic, the palace is lofty, and the city is composed of multiple city walls.

Liu Yu walked on the steps, his heart fluctuated, and there was even a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart.

If it were possible, Liu Yu would rather stay in the southeast, or even Xuzhou, but the situation forced him to come to Jiankang.

Now that the situation in Jiangdong is complicated, with the full support of King Yong, Huan Xuan not only stabilized his position, but also gained more momentum than in the past.

Many anti-Huan forces had to lie dormant, even if he himself had to temporarily avoid the edge and bow to Huan Xuan.

This time, he went to Beijing to report on his work, and in addition to dealing with Huan Xuan, he also had to think about how to deal with the royal family.

Neither alienating the royal family nor getting too close to it, is a great test of his political wisdom.

At this moment, in the main hall, in addition to the pair of difficult brothers and sisters of the Son of Heaven and King Langya, there are also two Huan Xuan henchmen, Bian Fanzhi and Huan Qian.

Bian Fanzhi and Huan Qian are Huan Xuan's spokesmen, responsible for monitoring Jiankang inside and outside, so naturally they will not let Liu Yu meet with the Son of Heaven in private.

After a while, Liu Yuhu stepped in, and in front of Bian Fanzhi and Huan Qian, he saluted the Son of Heaven without changing his face.

Sima Dezong, the Son of Heaven, sat on the throne and looked at Liu Yu stupidly, without the slightest reaction.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven seemed to be making a fool of himself, Huan Qian and Bian Fanzhi not only did not say anything to help, but watched coldly and laughed secretly.

Fortunately, there is also a king of Langya next to him, and he is in a hurry to pull the Son of Heaven.

Only then did the idiot suddenly remember what he wanted to say, and he finally spit out a sentence completely intermittently according to King Langya's teachings in advance.

"Love...... Aiqing ...... Qingping, Ping...... Flat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Yu got up and looked up, just in time to see the slightly dull face of the Son of Heaven.

This is the Son of Heaven who is desperately loyal? It's rare that the whole world is dominated by an idiot?

For some reason, Liu Yu suddenly felt an indescribable desolation and sadness in his heart.

However, Liu Yucheng was deep, even if his thoughts were surging in his heart, he did not show any impatience on the surface.

"Love...... Aiqing has, there is ...... Contribute to the community...... Society, what is the society? ”

Although in order not to make the Son of Heaven ugly, King Langya spent a lot of effort in advance to teach the Son of Heaven how to receive Liu Yu.

But an idiot is an idiot after all, and no matter how much others teach, it is impossible to be perfect.

The first sentence was okay, but then the Son of Heaven seemed a little incoherent.

Seeing that letting the Son of Heaven continue to talk about it would hurt the dignity of the royal family, King Langya had to speak out and praise Liu Yu for the Son of Heaven.

"Thanks to Liu Cheqi to quell the southeast rebellion, Er Shi is the first hero of my Great Jin."

Liu Yu said modestly: "Your Royal Highness has a good reputation, there is Huan Fair and Cheng Han in the front, and Xie Gong has a great victory in the water, how can the minister dare to be called the first hero of the Great Jin?" ”

After all, there are Bian Fanzhi and Huan Qian next to him, even if King Langya has the heart to say something, it is not easy to speak.

As a result, Liu Yu chatted with King Langya for a few more words, then got up and left.

As soon as he left the palace, he saw Wei Yongzhi, Xie Hui, Ding Yi and others anxiously waiting for him to return.

As soon as everyone saw Liu Yu, they hurriedly surrounded them and asked about the situation in the court.

At this moment, Liu Yu saw Huan Qian coming towards him from afar, and hurriedly separated the crowd to greet him.

Liu Yu strode in front of Huan Qian and bowed respectfully.

Huan Qian took Liu Yu's big hand, and couldn't stop praising Liu Yu for his talent.

"The slave really lives up to his reputation, killing Sun En and quelling the rebellion is really strengthening the prestige of my Great Jin Army, which is gratifying."

"The final victory in the Southeast War is due to the blessing of the Son of Heaven and the service of the soldiers."

At this time, Liu Yu has long lost the edges and immaturity of his fledgling days, and is more modest, sleek and low-key.

And Huan Qian saw that Liu Yu was so humble, he was very satisfied, grinned, and laughed.

While laughing, he patted Liu Yu on the shoulder and said softly: "I have specially prepared a few tables of banquets here, it is not a tribute!" ”

"Send the slave and go to settle down first, then you can come to the house, and I will personally take care of the lamp for you."

Liu Yu responded with a smile, and then he asked Xie Hui and the others to go back to the inn to rest, and only took Ding Yi to Huanqian's mansion.

At this time, in Huan's mansion, Huan Qian specially instructed the kitchen to make the food more sumptuous, and prepared a lot of wine.

This time, he was ordered by Huan Xuan to come to the banquet for Liu Yu.

In addition to communicating with Liu Yu for this summer's Northern Expedition, he also wanted to take the opportunity to touch Liu Yu's details.

During the banquet, Huan Qian and Liu Yu drank happily and enjoyed themselves.

Huan Qian persuaded Liu Yu one cup after another, and it seemed that he would not give up if he didn't get Liu Yu drunk.

But Liu Yu is not simple, he has already kept an eye on it, although he has drunk a lot of wine, his brain has always remained sober.

When the wine was hot, Huan Qian pulled Liu Yu's arm and made a heartfelt look.

And Liu Yu was silent on his face, but he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

Huan Qian stared at a pair of drunken eyes, turned around on Liu Yu's face, and said for a long time: "What does the slave think of Taiwei?" ”

This is a sensitive topic, and if you don't answer it well, you may be killed.

But what kind of character is Liu Yu, what is Huan Qian thinking in his heart, how can he not know?

He deliberately thought for a moment, stood up and replied loudly: "Taiwei excludes the traitors, Dingsheji, and is the contemporary Zhou Gongye. ”

Huan Qian stared at Liu Yu's majestic and deep face, and refused to move it away for a long time, as if he didn't believe it.

"Is this the truth? Could it be that he deliberately fooled the official? ”

Liu Yu secretly snorted coldly, slapping his broad chest with a bang, making a heart-wrenching look.

"Your Excellency's words are wrong!"

"If the last general has bad intentions, how can he obediently obey the order of the captain to return to Beijing to report on his work?"

"Well, that's true!"

"Ji slave, you are a famous general of the contemporary generation, Taiwei has the heart to mix up for a day, and he will inevitably rely on you in the future."

"Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, you have to seize the opportunity and strive to perform in front of the captain."

"In the future, I will say a few words for you, the glory, wealth, and power are not yet easy to capture?!"

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely help the captain to sweep away the Hulu."

Under Liu Yu's constant flattery, although Huan Qian didn't dare to fully believe Liu Yu, he didn't think that the other party wanted to go against the Huan family.

He happily said to Liu Yu: "If Jinu is willing to follow the Taiwei, why worry about the big thing?!" ”

No matter what Liu Yu thought in his heart, but in front of Huan Qian, he kept saying good things on his lips, and he had a sincere expression on his face.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Liu Yu and Huan Qian were both drunk.

In the end, Huan Qian burped and said to Liu Yu: "The Japanese official is going to Gu Xiao tomorrow, send the slave and go on the road with me." ”

"Taiwei heard that the slave has both virtue and talent, and he really wants to meet you, I don't know what the slave wants?"

"Everything is at your command!"

……

A few days later, Liu Yu followed Huan Qian to Guyu, ready to meet Huan Xuan.

Huan Xuan heard of Liu Yuwei's name, admired his military talent very much, and always wanted to take it for his own use.

He asked Huan Qian to test Liu Yu to see if Liu Yu could be used by him.

Although Liu Yu did not directly open his allegiance to the Huan family, according to Huan Qian, Liu Yu did not seem to have any intention of opposing him.

In order to further confirm his true thoughts, Huan Xuan will meet Liu Yu in person.

On this day, Huan Xuan summoned Liu Yu at the Nanjun Mansion.

Liu Yu looks majestic and has an extraordinary appearance, Huan Xuan was very happy when he saw it, and deliberately made a look like a corporal of Lixian.

"Liu Cheqi, you have won a lot of battles in recent years and made great contributions to the imperial court."

Although Liu Yu looked down on Huan Xuan from the heart, Huan Xuan now held the power of the imperial court.

Under the man-made sword and I am the fish, he can't help but be false and wrong.

So, Liu Yu straightened his mood and replied softly: "The Taiwei has an overreputation, and the ministers don't dare to be greedy for merit, but it's just the soldiers of Beifu who use their lives." ”

"Well, the Beifu soldiers are indeed contemporary strong soldiers, but Qing also has the demeanor of a famous general."

"This time, the imperial court sent a northern expedition to Southern Yan, and it still needs to rely on the general to serve, so don't let my father down."

"Please rest assured, the Northern Expedition against General Hu Naim's life wishes, how dare you not serve the death force?!"

"Good! With the help of lonely slaves, why worry about the immortality and the injustice of the world? ! ”

Liu Yu secretly snorted coldly, you Huan Xuan has just taken power, your foothold is not stable, and the foundation is not strong, so you talk about unifying the world!

It is really worthy of being a family of ignorant people who are fearless, and only know how to talk on paper.

At the end, Huan Xuan asked left and right: "Has the banquet been prepared?" ”

"Captain Hui, it's ready."

"Liu Qing, my father-in-law has prepared a table of sumptuous wine and food, and you and I will talk about the wine in a while."

"Captain Xie."

In the next few days, Liu Yu continued to go in and out of various courtiers' mansions and had frequent contact with everyone.

This time, Liu Yu returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the biggest gain was to temporarily relieve the Huan family's suspicion of him.
