Chapter 20: Entering the Dynasty to Meet the Son of Heaven
Knowing that they are friendly forces, it doesn't mean that they can enter Luoyang at will. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is a large army of more than 25,000 people, and if there is any evil intention in Luoyang, it will not be good for anyone. In the end, Liu Hong personally ordered that this army be temporarily stationed outside Luoyang City, and sent a decree to summon Li Yu to enter Luoyang City for an audience. However, a certain preferential treatment was given, that is, five hundred guards could be brought into the city and temporarily stationed in the camp of the Praetorian Guards.
"Yang Lang, you can go in with me! In addition, Zhongde and Yunxuan (Ouyang Xingbiaozi) also went in with me! Li Yu thought about it and finally decided on the person who would go with him.
The three who were not selected, such as Li Wen, Zu Mao and Guan Yu, were somewhat disappointed, after all, this was an opportunity to meet the emperor. Fortunately, they know better how to focus on the big picture, and they don't complain.
The severed head of the Yellow Turban Thief has already been counted by special officials. However, there are so many yellow turban thieves who identify Zhang Mancheng as them, and the ones who choose to be similar to Zhang Mancheng and them are also confused.
There is another advantage of coming to Luoyang to be stationed, that is, from now on, the military rations will be directly supplied by Luoyang. Li Yu is not short of military rations, but it is naturally good to be able to get supplies in Luoyang.
The gate of Luoyang City slowly opened, and Li Yu took Yang Lang and the five hundred special scout troops under his command into the city. In order not to attract too much attention, this troop team instantly became lazy and lazy, and the queue was uneven, and it didn't look majestic at all. As the strongest force under Li Yu's command, it is difficult for them to do this......
Luoyang City gives people the feeling of prosperity, and it is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for more than 200 years. The height is not as high as that of Taoyuan Town, after all, the main buildings here are brick and concrete structures, and the binders are mainly glutinous rice juice and egg whites, most of which only have about two to three layers.
Nor will it allow buildings that are too tall, especially beyond the height of the city walls, to be an act of transgression in the Han Law.
The main road paved with bluestone bricks is almost all lined with bluestone brick houses on both sides. The impression given to Li Yu actually had nothing to do with gorgeousness, and even Yang Lang on the side couldn't help but chatter: "There is enough wasteful ......"
The bluestone bricks are not fired, but genuinely chiseled out of the quarry little by little. The sturdiness may be higher than that of the red bricks of the autonomous region, but in terms of heat resistance, it is not as good as the red bricks, and the cost is too high, one brick is comparable to ten red bricks.
The people at the bottom are still mainly based on Gebu Mai, but many middle-class people have begun to wear silk and satin, but they are mainly plain. On the other hand, some of the children of the powerful who look down on the high-rise buildings are even gorgeous.
The state of the various classes of society is almost immediately apparent......
"It's boring first place......" Li Yu couldn't help muttering.
"Forbearance is, now is the time to enter the city, and if there is a party or dinner party later, it will be the real trouble. The lord is also in charge of one party, and the military power and governance power of the autonomous region are in his hands. I'm afraid that some powerful people may want to marry the lord! Yang Lang kindly reminded, and finally did not forget to tease.
"I already have Bian Linglong, and Hao'er will call her daddy!" Li Yu shook his head.
"Bian Linglong is just a musician, and she is not qualified to be a wife, so if they use this as an excuse to directly deny the legitimacy of your marriage, this can still be done. It's up to you, whether you're going to make more friends or build a few more enemies. And the most critical plan, if the marriage partner is His Majesty, how sure do you think you can refuse? Yang Lang said with a wry smile.
"So, Your Majesty and your Yang family have sent someone over to say goodbye?" Li Yu heard the sound and knew what he meant, and immediately asked rhetorically.
"That's right, Your Majesty asked Wang Yue to come over to probe the wind, and there are some older women in the royal family. In addition, he just added a princess last year, but he intended to marry Li Hao. If you don't mind, you can set the marriage first.
The Yang family does have the intention of marrying, and a certain second brother has a woman Yang Yan who is twenty-eight years old and in her prime. The key is that she can pass on to her eldest brother Yang Biao at any time, and marry as a concubine, and the Yang family is indeed very sincere...... Well, the original words are brought. Yang Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head, as the so-called human favor is difficult, Yang Lang is not easy to refuse the request of the clansmen.
"I don't have much energy to marry a wife for the time being, Bian Linglong, I have rarely gone home to see her in the past two years, and I have already failed her a little. Marry again, I can't pass the level in my heart! Li Yu shook his head.
"What about Li Hao?" Yang Lang continued to ask.
"You can make an agreement, but in the end, it depends on the two of them. If you can love each other, then you can consider that if Li doesn't want Her Royal Highness the princess to become his lifelong partner in the end, then no one can force him! Li Yu replied.
"Hahaha, princess, you refuse...... But also, these days those gate valves also disdain to marry the royal family. Yang Lang laughed when he heard this, Li Yu's view of love is in line with his taste.
Entering the forbidden camp, these guys arranged a corner for them to station, which was not only dark and damp, but also showed that it was very dirty before. What is this, bullying the local army?
Li Yu really couldn't think of how qualified those forbidden soldiers who were a little floating when they walked were qualified to look at themselves with such lofty eyes! The army is not officialdom, everything is based on strength, and it is enough to run the army as an officialdom!
"Your Majesty has a decree, announce Li Yu's visit!" Not long after settling down, a yellow door entered the barracks to announce the decree. After speaking, he didn't forget to cover his mouth and nose, and he didn't shy away from disgusting the dirtiness of this corner.
"The minister takes the order!" Li Yu had to obediently step forward to receive the order, and then followed the Yellow Gate to the palace.
It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is said that even if there is an early pilgrimage, it should be over. Therefore, this audience was not an audience in the formal sense, but a private audience. However, Liu Hong directly announced that Li Yu was facing the saint in the main hall, but he also showed his attention.
"Minister Li Yu, meet Your Majesty!" Li Yu went to the hall and bowed politely. There is no kneeling and no shouting long live, after all, there is no such habit in these years.
"Aiqing is exempt!" Liu Hong also returned the salute according to his habit.
Gifts are exchanged, even the emperor cannot avoid it. The key is a kind of respect, since the emperor doesn't take the courtiers in his eyes, why should the courtiers put the emperor in his eyes? Let's not talk about the actual situation, but the posture must be there first, otherwise it will inevitably fall into the hands of others.
"Your Majesty, the minister has led more than 20,000 troops to King Qin, how to deploy it is all up to Your Majesty's orders!" Li Yu didn't wait for the other party to say anything, and took the lead in expressing his attitude, which can be regarded as a sign of loyalty. In the end, with more than 20,000 troops, Liu Hong will also feel pressure.
Sure enough, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved when he heard this. He did intend to inquire about this issue, but he was worried that being the first to speak would inevitably hurt Li Yu's loyalty. To be honest, he didn't think that Li Yu was so loyal, and even doubted whether he planned to split the territory and divide the river.
However, compared to the Han dynasty falling into the hands of others, it can sit on half of the country, at least it is not too bad. You must know that according to Momen's intelligence, there are already many families around Si Li, and they are forming a volunteer army, with more than 200,000 people!
Under the pretext that these people were to help Luoyang resist the Bai Bo army and Zhang Mancheng's army, King Qin came to Beijing. But if you really let these 200,000 people in, God knows what kind of scene it will be.
Not to mention anything else, under the banner of the Qing monarch's side, he directly cut off all the imperial party, and by the way, he let himself (be) voluntarily give way to the prince.
As for which prince to give it to, it doesn't matter anymore, what age does the little doll know? In the end, the imperial power is completely in the hands of these powerful ministers, as long as the general trend has been decided, then Zen let is still far away?!
The key now is that Li Yu can be used by him, which is good. As for what risks will arise after the meeting, Liu Hong can't take care of it.
"The army under Aiqing's command is mostly reorganized from the Yellow Turban Thieves, are they willing to accept the dispatch?" Liu Hong asked tentatively.
"Among the Yellow Turban thieves, there are also many people who have to join the thief army because they have been bewitched. They are kind by nature, as long as they have a way to live, they will naturally not rebel; The minister gave them the same military rations, the same salary, and even gave them the opportunity to be promoted, and maybe promised to take care of their families after death. Regardless of the bright future, why bother to engage in that kind of rebellion that has no future at all? Li Yu shook his head.
"Since Aiqing is definitely fine, then I can rest assured. During Aiqing's time in Luoyang, all the military rations and materials will be arranged properly, and Aiqing will not suffer a loss. In addition, the credit of this period of time, Aiqing can also report it, and I will reward it as appropriate! Liu Hong nodded, and at the same time expressed his kindness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Li Yu bowed sincerely.
That's pretty much all for business, and the rest is for private matters. Liu Hong carefully inquired about the situation in the autonomous region, of course, he was afraid that Li Yu's household registration book had been checked. In fact, everyone knows a lot, but it is better to ask in person if the things you secretly check are not on the table.
said that Li Yu had a son, Li Hao, who was nearly two years old and had begun to babble, Liu Hong of course also took the opportunity to promote his more than one-year-old princess. Li Yu beautified his words to Yang Lang and said it, Liu Hong couldn't help but think about it for a few minutes when he heard it, and then said that he could make an agreement and let them meet after more than ten years.
Li Yu didn't say anything on the surface, but muttered in his heart: More than ten years later? You'll be hanging in a few years! Of course, this kind of taboo and stupid words, he naturally won't say it in front of others.
Seeing that the time was like this, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Hong saw that the time was almost up, and planned to set up a banquet to entertain Li Yu. The latter was not easy to refuse, but he didn't want to be at this time, but there was a Huangmen hurriedly came to report, and at about two o'clock this afternoon, Dong Zhuo was ambushed by the Baibo army, thousands of troops were killed, and he himself fled back to Anyi County, the seat of Hedong County.
The White Wave Army has no obstacle and has begun to march towards Luoyang! It will arrive in three days at most, and the day after tomorrow at the least!
"Damn it! What the hell does Dong Zhuo eat! Liu Hong scolded without hesitation.
It's no wonder that he is like this, it's just other places, Baibo Valley to Anyi are all plains all the way, and in this case, there will be ambushes, which has to doubt Dong Zhuo's IQ.
"The minister is willing to go north to conquer the Baibo army!" Li Yu hurriedly asked for help.
"So...... With Lao Aiqing, the day it is done, all the credit will be counted together! Now I have named Aiqing as the Marquis of Guannei, and if I make meritorious contributions in the future, I will be promoted! Liu Hong thought about it carefully, and finally waved his hand and allowed Li Yu to attack.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Li Yu thanked him. (To be continued.) )
