On the first day of arriving in Luoyang, Liu Yuan and Cao Ying drank wine for a long time, rested for a long day, and spent it hastily.

The next day, Liu Yuan went to Cai's mansion, picked up Cai Yan, and went shopping, leisurely and contented. When Cao Ying saw it, he was a little puzzled. Is this person confident and sure to get through the difficulties, or is he nervous and doesn't care much?

When the brothers of the Yuan family saw it, Yuan Shao looked at him coldly, Yuan Shu sneered, and said cruel words, saying that he wanted to do what Liu Yuan would do. Liu Yuan ignored it and ignored it.

On the third day, Liu Yuan took Cai Yan to the market as usual and went for a ride everywhere. Cao Ying was even more puzzled. Hey, what is this Mrs. Yuan doing? Isn't it long overdue?

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Liu Yuan sent Cai Yan home, and returned to the Hou Mansion with Dian Wei.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a hundred and ten people around the corner, and they surrounded the two of them in an instant.

"Yo, isn't this the champion Hou, why are you wandering around here?"

Liu Yuan was a little puzzled, isn't this in front of my house, wandering in front of my house, isn't that a matter of course? When I looked up, it turned out to be Yuan Shu.

"Heh, I said who it was, it turned out to be Yuan Da straw bale." Liu Yuan tilted his head, looked at it carefully, and looked at Yuan Shu, who was blushing with anger, uncomfortable.

"Yuan Da straw bale, you don't play in the mud in front of your house, run outside my Hou Mansion, why are you doing it?"

"Humph!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly, suppressed his anger, and said viciously: "Liu Yuan, don't be arrogant!" Your good words have turned your head, I, Yuan Shu, uphold the will of the Son of Heaven, come to take you, and I will be arrested without restraint! ”

"Oh? The will of the Son of Heaven? Take a look? Liu Yuan pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"You" Yuan Shu was speechless for a while. He knew that his uncle Yuan Kui was going to deal with Liu Yuan, and he was well prepared, and with just one blow, he could make it impossible to recover. But Liu Yuan has been back to Luoyang for three days, and he has not received a summons from the Son of Heaven, and second, he has no bad officials to come to the door to get people, but Yuan Shu, who wants to export his evil anger, is in a hurry. After thinking about it, Yuan Shu thought that Liu Yuan would finish the game sooner or later anyway, so why not do it himself? So Yuan Shu privately brought more than 100 soldiers and squatted in front of the champion Hou's mansion early, waiting for Liu Yuan to 'take the bait'.

If you want to stabilize Yuan Shu, why don't you know that Yuan Kui was threatened by Liu Yuan, in fact, Yuan Kui has a hard time.

But isn't it, I was originally prepared, but I was about to succeed, but I didn't know that in the end, I did all the useless work, not only could I not do what Liu Yuan did, but I was controlled by others. This kind of ugly thing, with a person with a good face like Yuan Kui, how can he be willing to talk about it with juniors?

So, Yuan Shu cupped.

Liu Yuan stepped on Yuan Shu's chest, leaned over, and smiled at the frightened face, making Yuan Shu's face colorless.

"You're going to let me go"

Liu Yuan looked at him, and suddenly he was not interested, and he was a little interested.

It's really not fun to fight with straw bales. Liu Yuan thought to himself, the opponent of the strong will always be the strong, Yuan Shu? Not worthy yet!

"Get out, get out," Liu Yuan turned around, waved his hand, and entered the gate with Dian Wei.

Seeing Liu Yuan's back disappear, the soldiers who were lying on the ground screamed in pain, stumbled and helped Yuan Shu, like a lost dog, and staggered away.

Yuan Mansion, Yuan Kui had a black face, speechlessly looking at Yuan Shu who was pouring dirty water on Liu Yuan, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, you, when will you grow up?

The next time, Liu Yuan received the holy decree and faced the saint early.

After changing into his official uniform, Liu Yuan rode on the lion and tiger beast, and arrived at the gate of the palace. got off the mount, and let people look at the lion and tiger beast, and under the guidance of the eunuch, they came to the Zhengxuan Palace.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Flat."

Listening to this lazy voice, Liu Yuan raised his head and saw that the Spirit Emperor's spirit was sluggish, and his face was so pale, but he was only thirty, but his temples were already white, this appearance was even worse than three years ago, when he didn't take Liu Yuan's essence blood! Emperor Ling glanced at Liu Yuan, opened his mouth and yawned.

Liu Yuan sighed secretly, squinted at Yuan Kui, who had his eyes slightly closed, and secretly scolded the old horseman, and stood in the hall, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

Zhang Rang and He Jin glanced at each other, then looked at Yuan Kui, who closed his eyes and recuperated, scolded secretly, coughed, and first said: "Champion Hou, I heard that you tampered with laws and regulations in Youzhou and frequently mobilized troops, it seems that you are not in line with etiquette, and you are suspected of not taking the Son of Heaven in your eyes." ”

"What son of a son of a shit?!" Liu Yuan glanced at Yuan Kui, whose beard was shaking, and said loudly deliberately.

"Champion Hou, no nonsense above the court!" Cai Yong stood up and pretended to scold.

"Yes." Liu Yuan bowed to Cai Yong, and then said: "I am the Son of Heaven to seal the history of Youzhou, the parents of one party, as long as it is beneficial to the people and the Han Dynasty, it is not too much to add a few decrees, right?" As for the mobilization of the army, Marquis Zhang, that is Youzhou, Xianbei and other foreign races have been spying on the territory of my Han Dynasty, if they are shocked from time to time, where is there peace in the past two years? I am the general of Zhenbei, this is a matter of duty, why is it said that there is no law? ”

In a word, the affairs of Youzhou are all within the scope of authority, and they are not tampered with or flouted.

"Well, what Champion Hou said is not unreasonable." Emperor Ling spoke at this time: "It's all within the bounds, and it's very good to argue. This time, I called the champion Hou to return to Luoyang, but I missed Zihong, and I had no other meaning, so I retreated. ”

"But" He Jin took a step forward and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Rang's eyes. Zhang Rang pouted in the direction of Yuan Kui at He Jin, meaning that the initiators of the people were silent, what are you still making trouble with?

He Jin was speechless.

"By the way, it's rare for the champion Hou to come back once, and I want to feast Zihong today. Let the father take Zihong to my sleeping palace. Emperor Ling took a few steps, turned around and ordered Zhang Rang to say a few words, and then disappeared around the corner.

Liu Yuan lowered his head, thinking about Emperor Ling's words. Why did Emperor Ling say that he missed Liu Yuan, so he summoned him back to Beijing to exonerate Yuan Kui and others?

Could it be that Yuan Kui can actually control the Son of Heaven?

While thinking, Liu Yuan followed Zhang Rang to the Spirit Emperor's bedroom.

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Yuan expressionlessly, turned around and left. Liu Yuan didn't care either, because of this incident, the two had already torn their faces, and it was good if they didn't scold each other in person, how could they talk to each other?

After a while, Emperor Ling and Empress He arrived with the prince and the prince.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the two princes." Liu Yuan stood up and saluted, looking sincere.

The Spirit Emperor nodded and beckoned a few people to sit down.

He Hou's gorgeous pretty face couldn't see the expression, but the two princes were very excited.

After another while, the imperial chef served the food, and Emperor Ling raised his glass to start eating. Liu Yuan was speechless, and also lowered his head and ate.

The whole table was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Long.

"Zihong" Emperor Ling ate some dishes a little, took a rag and wiped his hands, and looked at Liu Yuan to stop talking.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Zihong, I don't know the medicine"

As soon as Liu Yuan heard this, he instantly understood Emperor Ling's words. The Spirit Emperor knew his physical condition, so he hit Liu Yuan's essence and blood with his mind. Liu Yuan sighed in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, that good medicine is a must-have in the world, the minister got three copies in his early years, and he used one for himself, more than two years ago, he used one with His Majesty, and the two princes used one, but now it is indeed gone." ”

The Spirit Emperor was full of disappointment. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "If it's gone, it's gone, it's God's will, what can I do?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Yuan's heart softened, and he almost changed his mind. But thinking of the current situation, I dispelled this idea again. Emperor Ling is now, it can be said that Liu Yuan did it indirectly, but the most fundamental reason is caused by the contradictions between the imperial power and the family, relatives and eunuchs.

Liu Yuan can help Emperor Ling once, is there a second or third time?

He was sure that as long as Emperor Ling's health improved, Yuan Kui and the others would definitely do the same as this time, and even kill Emperor Ling directly!

He was not the Nanny of the Spirit Emperor, and he did not want to see the Spirit Emperor die tragically. Therefore, we can only compromise with the political bloc headed by Yuan Kui and maintain the current situation.

Maintaining this is good for everyone, and it can be considered a peaceful situation.

After the meal, Emperor Ling asked Empress He to leave with the two princes, leaving Liu Yuan alone.

"Zihong," Emperor Ling turned his back to Liu Yuan, a little rickety and vicissitudes.

"It has been fifteen years since I ascended to the throne at the age of ten years. In the past fifteen years, I have enjoyed, absurd, and heartache, and I also want to work hard to reproduce the prosperity of Emperor Wu, but I am unable to do it due to internal and external constraints. ”

Emperor Ling walked over, lay on the Taishi chair, curled up in a ball, like that, extremely hesitant and helpless.

"But last time, your magic medicine made me regain my ambition!" Emperor Ling's face suddenly flashed with brilliance, and it instantly dimmed, "I want to purge the government, but Yuan Kui and others resist everywhere, although so, it is also somewhat useful, seeing that the results are beginning to appear, my body immediately collapsed!" ”

"I know there's something strange about this, but what?"

The corners of the Spirit Emperor's mouth curled, and a mocking smile appeared that was more ugly than crying.

"I am the Son of Heaven, but I am trapped in this palace, what can I do, what can I do!"

Liu Yuan was expressionless and speechless.

"But!"

Emperor Ling suddenly stood up and laughed: "I also have hole cards!" Hahaha family! All of them will be exterminated! ”

"You know, Zihong! I asked Feng Zhen and Xu Feng to contact the Taiping Sect and indulge the development of the Taiping Sect, but I ignored the remarks of the DPRK criticizing the Taiping Sect! I only need one result, destroying-ruining-world-family! ”

Emperor Ling was stunned word by word, and his pale face was full of hideousness!

"Hahaha" Emperor Ling laughed wildly, and Liu Yuan, who was laughing, felt a chill in his heart!

"As long as the Taiping Sect bulldozes all the families of my Han Dynasty, then Zihong, it will be your time to behave!" Emperor Ling smiled strangely and said, "I know that you have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, and they are still elite troops!" When the Taiping Sect sweeps through the Han Dynasty and exterminates the wealthy families in various places, you will lead the army to pacify the Taiping Sect, and when I arrive, I will crown you as the king! ”

"Break and stand!"

Emperor Ling looked at Liu Yuan fixedly, his eyes were full of blazing.

Liu Yuan's palms were beading with sweat, he forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Your Majesty, in a turmoil, the people will surely suffer heavy casualties, and the Han Dynasty will be shaky, and the foundation is unstable!" ”

"Needless to say!" Emperor Ling waved his hand, interrupted Liu Yuan's words impatiently, and drank: "The people will die when they die, as long as they can clean up the mountains and rivers, no matter how big the price, I am willing to pay!" You, can you help me!? ”

Liu Yuan's heart was cold, this is the Son of Heaven, this is the Lord of the World. Could it be that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, all of them are ants?!

"Your Majesty, the minister is His Majesty's courtier, and His Majesty will do what the minister asks the minister to do." Liu Yuan lowered his head, suppressed the chill in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

"Good! Haha, with Zihong's help, it's a big thing! "Emperor Ling screamed and jumped, but he didn't have half the appearance of an emperor.

"Zihong, you will set off to return to Youzhou tomorrow. In February next year, the Taiping Sect will start an incident, and you will hold it back, and when you get my secret decree, you will immediately send troops! ”

Liu Yuan walked in the palace in a daze, and his heart was blank.

The Spirit Emperor has gone crazy!

He thought so.

Is such an emperor still worthy of his allegiance? The soon-to-be-shattered Han Dynasty is still worthy of his support?

Thinking of Emperor Ling's crazy and hideous face, Liu Yuan couldn't help but shudder in his heart. If Emperor Ling's plan succeeds, the family system of the Han Dynasty collapses, and then he cleans up the mountains and rivers, then what will Emperor Ling do to him in the future? Crowned king?

Liu Yuan didn't believe it in his heart.

The biggest possibility is that the birds are all hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked!

It's time to plan.

Liu Yuan desperately hoped that Guo Jia and Jia Xu would be by his side at this time, and he hoped to get their advice.

Walking around a corner, suddenly, a palace maid stopped Liu Yuan.

"Champion Hou, the queen is invited."

"Queen?"

Liu Yuan's eyebrows froze, and his mind raced quickly.

"Let's lead the way."
