Chapter 12: Meeting the Son of Heaven

Meng Luo once said to people: "My Meng family has been favored by the emperor, and now Wang Mang usurps the government and the world is in chaos." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info can Zuo a Mingjun recreate the Han, the wish of his life is enough, and it is not in vain for my scholarly family, full of economy"

And the **** is carefully reading the letter given to him by Emperor Liu Penzi, hoping to get a glimpse of whether the Son of Heaven has insight from a few strokes.

Captain Liu Yu died, and he couldn't die, Liu Yu and Meng Luo had eight friends. He went to escort him, but was eventually killed by the emperor's soldier, a man with a short black ink face. Meng Luo did not resent Zhang Jiuri, let alone anger the emperor. He understood that this was not the cause of the disaster.

With the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, the imperial court is like a copycat, except for a few important departments. According to the Han system, most of the departments with authority were not set up, which also made the dispatch of troops and horses, personnel arrangements, and administrative orders in the national capital all simple, and those who followed the simplicity inevitably concentrated too much power and inevitably had unfavorable communication.

For example, in the death of Liu Yu this time, it was the emperor who asked for the escort, and it was the great Situ Luyan who ordered the transfer of troops. But after the soldiers and horses entered the capital, there was no one to hand them over, no one to answer them, and no one to supervise them. Meng Luo didn't know what the situation was like when Liu Yu led the troops into the palace, but judging from the consequences, there were also big problems with the handover communication in the palace. Otherwise, he would not have rashly engaged with the emperor's guards, so that Liu Yu lost his life, and Zhang Jiu was arrested by the Tingwei Mansion.

At noon, Liu Yilun, the secretary of the military department, came to the mansion, but Meng Luo was taken aback. Liu Shangshu came here to intercede for Zhang Jiuri. Tingwei Ji Xun was personally recommended by Meng Luo, but Meng Luo didn't care about this. Liu Yilun didn't go to Da Situ Luyan to find an important person, which is understandable, Da Situ Su was not used to Liu's flying and domineering, and he would not agree. But what kind of person is Zhang Jiuri, the official is not big, but he is the emperor's old playmate, the Liu family intercedes for him, the essence of which is to do things for the emperor, Meng Luochai is in the whirlpool of the emperor, can not protect himself, and now he can say that the Liu family is working hard, and he must not be the unscrupulous people who are rumored to be herding cattle.

Liu Yilun said: "Today, Zhang Jiuri rashly killed, resulting in the tragic death of Liu Yu of the school captain royal family, and it should be dealt with strictly according to the law, but the old saying says that the law does not add supreme, Zhang Jiuri is an old friend of the Son of Heaven, and the queen also said that Zhang Jiuri usually dedicates himself to his duties and has a legitimate intention." Liu Yilunt came to ask Lord Si Zhi to lobby on his behalf, and Liu Yu's little son of heaven has allocated silver for support, and there is also a letter from the son of heaven"

Meng Luo was neither humble nor arrogant before, but when he heard the letter from the Son of Heaven, he immediately knelt down to greet him. Liu Yilun smiled secretly in his heart: "In the end, the scholarly family, pedantic, this son of heaven is just a cowherd, why is this", Meng Luo read the letter, carefully put it away, and knocked "The Son of Heaven is benevolent and virtuous, and the ministers dare not obey orders", which really made Liu Yilun cry and laugh. My sister came to beg herself, originally wanting to rely on the reputation of the Liu family to make Meng Luo submit, how do you know that this pedantic person is the most face-saving for the Son of Heaven, I knew that this was the case, let the Son of Heaven directly repair the book, why bother to run in person.

Meng Luo read the letters of the Son of Heaven again and again:

Meng Aiqing:

Since I received the mandate of heaven, I have been less virtuous and benevolent, let alone clearing the four seas and restoring the Han Dynasty. However, the state affairs looked at the sky, and did not slack off, and now his subordinates often serve Zhang Jiuri accidentally killed, harming the lives of my brothers, and he should be punished for the crime. But this person is my old playmate, in the past, I was a weed, I had a lot of help, I am now the Son of Heaven, I don't repay his kindness, how can I bear to kill him?

I know that Qing has been a scholar for generations, a loyal man, and Wen Qing has a very good personal relationship with Tingwei Ji Xun, can you break this case for me?

A letter, few numbers, but Meng Luo shed tears. Yao thought of his father's entrustment before he died: "I am a member of the Meng family, and the world is favored by the emperor, but now the court is in chaos, the Liu family is humiliated, and I am unwilling to die." My son should have great ambitions, find the master of the Liu family, go to the soup to fight the fire, and take the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility"

Meng Luo immediately went to the Tingwei Mansion, said that Ji Xun released Zhang Jiuri, and asked Ji Xun "If Da Situ asks about this matter, there is no need to hide it, just say that Meng Luo came to beg, and he had to let people go, and I will take care of the inappropriateness."

When he returned to his house, he was about to repair a letter to the emperor to express his intention to help the Han lord, and Da Situ Luyan sent someone to find it. said that there was an urgent business, and it was necessary to go to the prime minister's office immediately to discuss.

After returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Luo was unable to stand still, and the great Situ just took over the report, and the general Chongsui led his niece into the capital within three days. Meng Luo also thought, it's just to marry another concubine for the emperor, what's the matter?

Later, the great Situ revealed that in the south of Chu County, the capital city, although there are no bandits in the counties of Huainan, but the county guards are all old ministers of the Wang Mang Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven ascended the throne. He may not be free from rebellion in the future, which led to the fact that the general came here to play His Majesty Chen, and asked to garrison elite troops in Xiapi and choose a day to sweep Huainan.

Meng Luo was so angry that his heart was immediately shocked. Xiapi City is more than 100 miles away from Chu County, and the garrison army is here, so it is difficult to say that there is no dissent. Besides, Da Situ Luyan seems to be very much in favor, so that the Son of Heaven and the Queen are living under the swords of Chongsui and Situ.

"Da Situ, such a garrison, although it is to seek Huainan, I am afraid that the Liu family will be suspicious" Meng Luo immediately tested Lu Yan

Lu Yan saw that this student also knew the trick in this, and sighed: "Why, you have been in the capital for a long time, and you have also learned the art of scheming?" Don't worry, the teacher knows more about Da Sikong Liuyu than you, how can the national abbot be the one who is suspicious"

"What the master said is that the Son of Heaven will definitely be able to play."

Meng Luo left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned home in every unbearable way, and immediately went to the palace. There are two purposes for him to go, one of them is that no matter whether the Son of Heaven Xiao is Xiao or not, Meng Luo is loyal to the Han family, he must explain this to the Son of Heaven. If the troops were really stationed in Xiapi, he expected that the Liu clan would have a move, and at that time, civil strife was close at hand. Second, he hoped to communicate with the Son of Heaven face-to-face to see if the Son of Heaven had the spirit of a wise monarch, and if so, he would respect his father's will and faithfully assist the Son of Heaven. If not, leave the place to escape the scourge of civil strife.

The conversation with Liu Penzi achieved unexpected results for Meng Luo. At first, Liu Penzi was dumb and cute, which disappointed Meng Luo. Meng Luo said: "Your Majesty thinks and does something every day." Liu Penzi said lazily:

"Aiqing, the crown can't cure the headache. The Son of Heaven is nothing more than what the people think, he wants to be more relaxed, more comfortable, more to eat, and more to be a woman; What to do, listen to the twists and turns, Da Situ is proficient in this aspect, he has to worry about it, and I am very worry-free."

But later, Meng Luo still told himself to be worthy of his conscience, knelt on the ground, and said something full of courage, the main thing is to worship and enter the capital, and by the way, he will resign to the emperor and leave. Meng Luo thought that Liu Penzi might be pretending to be stupid, and sure enough, seeing Meng Luo so reluctant, Liu Penzi spoke:

"Aiqing, don't go, although I am the Son of Heaven, I am just a bird raised in the deep palace. All parties in the regime wrestle, each with a ghost, in order to protect myself, I have to pretend to be comfortable, and I don't care about all the hobbies I said before, except that women are true. Since entering the palace, except for a few brothers in the past, no one has told me the truth, and no one has treated me as a person. It's just a flag painted with a big head. ”

Liu Penzi's words, Meng Luo burst into tears.

"Aiqing said a lot today, although I am dull, I also know that it is powerful, Chongsui really garrisoned the next Pi, the Liu clan will definitely move troops, at that time, no matter who loses or wins, I am more like a pet than now. I don't have any experience, if Aiqing doesn't give up on me, I'm willing to discuss countermeasures with Aiqing."

Meng Luo stayed in the palace until late at night, until the queen Liu Huizhen gave the emperor a supper, urged the emperor to rest, and then left the palace, he looked at the crooked moon, like a sickle, and the little stars were like dark fire in the middle of the court, and his chest was worried, but his feet were extraordinarily powerful.
