At the banquet in the Liang Mansion that day, Chen Ping praised Peng Yue from beginning to end for how loyal to Liu Bang and how he served the country, anyway, he was running the train with his mouth full, which made Peng Yue feel that Gaozu trusted him very much, and that's it.

Chen Ping was in Liangdi for a few days, and the relationship with Peng Yue was quite harmonious, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he didn't waste much time.

In the envoy's mansion, at the invitation of Chen Ping, Hu Yu, Peng Yue, and Luan Bu were all there, as for the servant, he was also smart, and left a silk book in the Liang Wang's mansion, which roughly means that Weichen is old and can't accompany the king anymore, so he will go back to his hometown in Luoyang to recuperate, afraid that the king will not agree to it in person, so he will come to the first cut and then play.

Peng Yue has a bit of a puppet temperament, in his opinion, he should not have listened to his opinion, so he left, but unfortunately he never expected that this thing was done a little absolutely.

Without much gossip, in the living room, Chen Ping and the four of them were all there, and now only Hu Yu was slightly suspicious of Chen Ping, and Luan Bu and Peng Yue had already expressed their loyalty to the Han and did not dare to be suspicious.

So, Chen Ping took a sip of warm tea and said slowly: "Today's son ascends the throne, it is to carry on the Shang and Zhou dynasties, inherit the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, exterminate Qin and Chu, and ascend to the throne. ”

After hearing this, Peng Yue nodded very directly, "What Qu Shunhou said is reasonable, I don't know how Your Majesty will hold a ceremony so that all the people will look up, what should we princes do?" ”

"Helplessly, Chen Feng rebelled today, the world is not peaceful, and His Majesty's heart is not happy, so the crown prince practiced the great ceremony, and hundreds of officials and princes gathered in Luoyang to comfort the common people, relieve the suffering of the living souls, and wish Your Majesty to clear the thieves as soon as possible." Chen Ping said slowly.

Hu Yu was beside him, his eyes were puzzled, and he asked very directly: "What Qu Shunhou said is quite reasonable, I don't know if the existing princes have already gone?" ”

"Lu Ziyu, the king of Pingnan, Zhang Liang, and Xiangguo Xiao are all here, why is the king worried, if His Majesty is dissatisfied with you, why do you take Hou as an envoy and answer it in person, and I hope that the king will think about it and go to Luoyang to see the gift on the next day."

Peng Yue was also hesitant in his heart, thinking that he had offended His Majesty the first two times, but he never thought that His Majesty would ignore his past suspicions and invite him to watch the ceremony.

Then he asked Luan Bu next to him: "Mr. is the third duke, he knows Zhou Li, and now he is seeing the ceremony in Luoyang, and Qu Shunhou is invited, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Luan Bu naturally didn't want Peng Yue to rebel against Han, although he had offended His Majesty the previous two times, but this time was a good opportunity to forgive his sins, and His Majesty was quite old, this day was Liu Ying's sooner or later, and this time it was good to make friends with Crown Prince Liu Ying, which was simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Luan Bu was determined, and said quite politely: "King Qiqi, now the crown prince is making a weekly ceremony, and it is natural to invite the princes and hundreds of officials, the king can go in person, and he can temporarily guard Liangdi, which can be regarded as making amends for His Majesty." ”

Peng Yue bowed slightly, who knew that Hu Yu suddenly got up and said: "This matter is not suitable to go, I am afraid that there will be fraud, if you leave Liangdi, the king will be unrelated." ”

"Bold! A certain and all the princes are Han Chen, and belong to the founding of the country, now the king of Liang has refused His Majesty three times and twice, it is already rude, by His Majesty's elders, do not care, is it difficult for the king to really oppose the Han Dynasty! Chen Ping said with great momentum.

Luan Bu hurriedly played a round on the side, "The king must go on this trip, he will definitely not be arrogant, and please stay to calm his anger." ”

Chen Ping immediately said loudly: "A certain and the public said, although Your Majesty is in Anyi today, if the king acts as a nameless soldier, I am afraid that the people of the world will not tolerate it, and the king should not beg for mercy in front of His Majesty." ”

Peng Yue also felt that what Chen Ping said was reasonable, and said quite respectfully: "What Qu Shunhou said is true, the deputy general Hu Yu is just impulsive, tomorrow he will go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, with Hu Yu, and Liang Di will be temporarily taken care of by Luan Bu, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Ping's face was slightly stable, "The king is so sensible, it is Your Majesty's luck, as the king said, he will go to Luoyang tomorrow, and after the ceremony, the king can do his own thing." ”

After more than ten days of exchanges, Chen Ping's deception of Peng Yue to leave is also a slight achievement, in Chen Ping's opinion, whether it is Luoyang or Chang'an, as long as Peng Yue can leave his fiefdom Liang, this matter will be completed.

In the early morning of the next day, Peng Yue and Hu Yu led more than 100 people to Luoyang, Chen Ping was also accompanied in the rear, as for Luan Bu to stay in Liangdi to guard, Chen Ping originally thought that Peng Yue would go alone, but he didn't expect this old boy to be a little guarded.

But it doesn't matter, when he arrived in Luoyang, some were soldiers, and there were more than 100 people, Liu Bang heard that Peng Yue was out of Liangdi, and he was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter to Chang'an Tingwei Division, ordering Xiahou Ying to lead a thousand soldiers, and escort Peng Yue to Luoyang, awaiting trial, and then go to Chang'an.

At the east gate of Luoyang, Peng Yue and Hu Yu had just entered the city, Xiahou Ying waited for someone to stabilize it, Peng Yue saw this, his heart was terrified, and he immediately looked at Qu Shunhou Chen Ping behind.

"Chen Ping, why is this?" Peng Yue shouted loudly.

Chen Ping immediately took out the silk book from his sleeve and said: "Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty told Peng Yue, the king of Liang, that although he made a decision today, the princes were unstable and wanted to oppose Han. ”

"King Liang's servant, the day before yesterday came to the camp and talked about everything in detail, I was very angry in my heart, I never thought that I would calm the world with King Liang and worship the king, but this year is just the rest of the year, but I have a rebellious heart, which is really hurtful."

"I didn't believe it, but I missed the appointment with me three times and twice, the servant said that I was the deputy general, and the deputy general provoked the king of Liang, and the servant died to the king of Liang, and the king did not listen, so he knew that his heart was not pure, so he told him, except for the fast."

When Peng Yue heard this, he was furious in his heart, "The servant actually betrayed me!" He was sorry for him, it was really unpredictable! ”

After Chen Ping finished reading, Xiahou Ying rode his horse over, "Peng Yue, the king of Liang, although he doesn't know your heart today, he should be punished, listen to the trial of Tingwei, don't be strong." ”

Peng Yue saw that there were more than 1,000 Han troops around, but he was only a hundred people, and he was still in the city, so he had no chance to escape, so he said helplessly: "I regret not listening to the words of Hu, and the Han King is cunning." ”

"Don't worry, the king has thousands of Han troops, rushing backwards, and the consequences are unpredictable." Hu Yu said quite calmly.

Chen Ping saw that he wanted to rebel against the Han army, and immediately shouted to Peng Yue: "Today, the servant sues the king of Liang, the original story of the matter has not been known, the king can go to the court first, and confront the servant, so as to avoid a difficulty, if you resist now, it will only increase the trouble, and the sword has no eyes, if you are beheaded by the Han army, there is nowhere to redress your grievances, and please think twice." ”

Peng Yue immediately felt justified, and immediately discussed with General Hu Yu, thinking that even if the Han army was defeated, there would be nowhere to go in the future, if it was left to the disposal of the Han king, maybe he was really wronged.

Hu Yu immediately bowed his head, so he and Peng Yue were escorted by Xiahou Ying to Luoyang Tingwei Division to wait for the outcome of the trial.
