After a long time, the imperial edict was sent to the palace of the king of Chu, and Liu Xiu, the king of Chu, immediately rushed to Luoyang with his family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The edict of the Son of Heaven mentioned the lord Liu He, but did not mention the eldest princess and others, but Liu Xiu brought them all. Even Mrs. Tang, who had just had a sè in her body, also went with her. It's just that in this way, the speed of the team can't get up fast, and they only walk twenty miles a day, and the sun is high before they set off, and they set up camp before the mountain sets. Although there are post stations along the way, none of them can accommodate 10,000 people, so Liu Xiu still camped and rested in the field according to the deployment of the march, which was also convenient for arranging protection. The 10,000 cavalry was divided into four levels, with the cavalry battalion outside, the Hushi battalion inside, followed by the 200 heavy armor soldiers, Guan Yu and Xu Yu stood beside Liu Xiu, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

In addition to Ma Chao, Sun Ce and other personal guards, Zhang Liao and a group of warriors from the north of Xinjiang also added to Liu Xiu's side of the guards, although the number is not large, only more than 20 people, but half of them have left a famous name in history, although they do not know that their life trajectory has changed dramatically because of Liu Xiu, but they believe that this time to enter Beijing with the King of Chu is likely to be an important moment to change their lives.

Liu Xiu was very calm, whether he was marching or resting, he either instructed a few children to study and practice martial arts, or sat quietly with the Tang family. Tang can already walk with the support of others, and he is not very neat in speaking, and when he listens attentively, he can also hear a few syllables. Maybe it's because she has accepted her husband's death, or maybe she's numb, when she can't speak, it seems that she has a lot of things to say to Liu Xiu, and now she can speak. But it was silent again. Every day, I just quietly look at the children and grandchildren in front of my knee, and I don't blink my eyes, and I look at it for a long time.

……

The little Tianzi wearing filial piety clothes sat under the main hall of Changle Palace, his brows furrowed slightly. Zhou Yu, who was standing in front of Xiao Tianzi, held his breath nervously, not daring to take a breath. He lowered his head and paid attention to Xiao Tianzi's every move with the peripheral vision of his eyes. Although the news outside is very tightly blocked, Zhou Yu is a close minister by Xiao Tianzi's side. often goes in and out of the palace, and I also heard a little wind in my ears, saying that when the Empress Dowager Song died. There was only Xiao Tianzi in front of him. Although Zhou Yu didn't believe that Xiao Tianzi would do such a thing as killing his mother, he obviously felt that after the mysterious and violent death of the Empress Dowager Song. It's a little bit darker, and it's obviously become a lot heavier. He always sat quietly in front of the spirit of the Empress Dowager Song alone, sitting for a long time, and sometimes even sleepless all night. His words are obviously less, even if he speaks only a few short sentences, he is no longer as keen to discuss with a few of them as before, he just makes a decision, and orders it with an unquestionable attitude, others only have the right to implement, and there is no possibility of suggestion.

Everything was wrapped in the silence of Xiao Tianzi, and the truth only existed in his mind. No one else knows the slightest. They can guess, but they will never be recognized or denied by the Son of Heaven.

Such a little genius is not the little genius that Zhou Yu knows. In the past, the little emperor was a round of rising sun, warm and full of hope, but now the little son of heaven is a waning moon, cold and almost hopeless. Whether it is Zhou Yu or Yang Xiu or Cao Ang. Or Xin Bi and the others, they all intentionally or unintentionally avoided Xiao Tianzi, although during the mourning period, they have been serving in the side hall, but the situation that did not need to be summoned by Xiao Tianzi and would take the initiative to come to see them is no longer a last resort. They waited silently.

Today, Zhou Yu is here to report on a major event.

Liu Xiu, the king of Chu, walked very slowly, only more than twenty miles a day, and according to such a journey, it took him two months to walk from Jiangling to Luoyang, which far exceeded the time limit of the imperial edict. If he wants to wait for him to arrive in Luoyang and then arrange for the Queen Mother to receive, he is afraid that the Queen Mother's body will already rot. Even if he didn't wait for him to arrive, and then stop waiting for them to be buried in the tomb, it would be a very long process.

This incident made people very angry, but what Zhou Yu came to report today was not this incident, but another thing that made them nervous.

When Liu Xiu was walking slowly on the road, the assassins and Taishou of Liang Erzhou were rushing to Luoyang quickly, and the Liang warriors, including Zhenbei General Zhao Yun, rushed to Luoyang in the name of mourning. They are all martial artists, and they all carry personal guards and subordinates, even according to the rules of the imperial court, there are extremely strict restrictions on the number of people, and it is a number that cannot be ignored to gather these people, especially these people are also qualified to enter Luoyang City. When these people gathered around Liu Xiu, it was a formidable force.

Can you imagine what it is like for Shuo Fang Taishou Lu Bu to stand beside Liu Xiu with a dozen soldiers, and can you imagine the situation when the little four tigers who are famous in the north are willing to serve as Liu Xiu's guards? Maybe there is no need to fight, as long as they stand by Liu Xiu's side, it is enough to produce a strong deterrent. Even if those northern armies had just participated in the Yanzhou War, they would be weaker in momentum against these strong border armies. The reason why Cao Jie was able to kill the general Dou Wu back then was because as soon as Zhang Huan, a border general who had just returned from northern Xinjiang, appeared, the entire infantry battalion collapsed.

That's just Zhang Huan, but now it's a dozen, dozens of them, and if they don't follow the law and bring more than the number of personal guards, the threat is even more not to be underestimated.

Almost everyone gasped when they received the news. Needless to say, they all understood that the reason why Liu Xiu walked so slowly was not because Mrs. Chu Tang was not in good health, and he probably wanted to launch a mutiny in Luoyang. Considering the seriousness of the consequences, Zhou Yu didn't want to see the Son of Heaven again, and he had to report the situation to him.

He originally thought that no matter how calm Xiao Tianzi was, he would be as violent as before, but to his surprise, after Xiao Tianzi heard the news, he was just silent as always.

"Your Majesty......" Zhou Yu swallowed his saliva and reminded softly.

"All here?" Xiao Tianzi turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes moved like dead fish, but there was still no expression on his face.

"It's basically all here." Zhou Yu said dryly: "Fubo General Gan Ning with a warship, has entered Dongjun, Xiahoudun, who stayed in Puyang, wanted to go on the ship to inspect, and found that there were thousands of armor soldiers, he refused to let go, and the result was ......"

"The result?"

As a result, he was beaten by Gan Ning and was seriously injured. Gan Ning said that the soldiers on his ship were all loyal ministers and filial sons who felt the kindness of the Queen Mother and volunteered to go to Beijing to give the Queen Mother a funeral, and whoever dared to stop them was disloyal and unfilial. ”

"It's really embarrassing for him, he still knows how to talk about loyalty and filial piety." Xiao Tianzi suddenly sneered.

Zhou Yu was speechless. The Han Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and although Gan Ning's excuse was a bit arrogant, it was not easy to refute it directly.

"Who else?"

"Captain Xiahou Yuan." Zhou Yu glanced at the urgent report in his hand again: "Under the pretext of fighting against the Xianbei people, he ordered the Qiang Seventh Battalion of Liangzhou to **, and now 10,000 Jing cavalry are gathered in Longxi." Your Majesty, the 7th Battalion of the Liangzhou Han Dynasty has not yet returned to the station, they have been lingering in Guanzhong, and now they are rapidly approaching Chang'an under the leadership of Lu Yi. ”

"Xiahou Yuan? Koji? Xiao Tianzi snorted slightly, "Who else?" ”

Zhou Yu reported a list of names, and almost all the generals under Liu Xiu who were from Liang had arrived.

"It's all here." Xiao Tianzi straightened his back, spread his arms, twisted his neck, and his joints made a gurgling sound. He smiled: "It's good, it's good, their loyalty and filial piety, I should fulfill them." Spread the edict and let them all come. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned: "All here?" ”

"Yes, everyone who wants to come, you don't have to worry about debts, lice don't itch, just let us see how much strength His Royal Highness King Chu has." Xiao Tianzi waved his sleeves and signaled Zhou Yu not to say more. Zhou Yu had already opened his mouth, but when he saw Xiao Tianzi's face that still had no expression at all, he thought about it and swallowed the words back.

"Yui." Zhou Yu bowed his waist, took two steps back, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly remembered another thing, and hurriedly turned back. When I thought that I was in a state of turmoil, I actually made such a mistake, and my face showed self-blame.

"Anything else?" Xiao Tianzi frowned slightly, and looked at Zhou Yu unhappily. Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, although he was two years older than Xiao Tianzi, but now he had a certain status as a monarch and minister, and as the time for Xiao Tianzi to govern was getting closer and closer, he couldn't straighten his waist more and more.

"Only, Your Majesty, there is another piece of news from Jizhou." Zhou Yu presented a note with both hands, Xiao Tianzi frowned, stared at the note for a long time, and then reached out to take it, looked up and down with two fingers of the note, and sneered: "What, Yuan Shao also wants to take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, he hadn't heard these four words, but soon he understood again, and quickly nodded: "What Your Majesty said is very true." Yuan Shao is now exhausted, if it weren't for the shortage of food, His Majesty would personally conquer Jizhou, and Yuan Shao could only flee from the wind. Right now...... Now in this situation, of course he has to jump out and expand the situation, no matter what, it will only be good for him. ”

He paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard the news that the eldest son of the emperor is in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao is afraid that he will use him to make some troubles." ”

Xiao Tianzi was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "My brother is so pitiful, he is used as a pawn, and he can't be ziyou." However, how fortunate he is that he only needs to be at the mercy of others, but he does not need to make any choices or take any responsibility, which is really enviable. ”

Zhou Yu sighed thoughtfully. At present, this situation will lead to national chaos and a resurgence of fires. The Great Han River may not be overturned, but once the Little Son of Heaven fails, it will definitely not have a good result. It is too cruel to have such a big responsibility to be shouldered by a teenager who has not yet reached adulthood.

"Does Sangong know?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, this matter was too important, they didn't dare to confirm whether Xiao Tianzi would let Sangong know, so they notified Xiao Tianzi in advance. Fortunately, because of the big funeral these days, the three princes are all in the palace, and it is convenient to call.

"Invite the general and the three dukes, I want to discuss it with them." Xiao Tianzi stood up, thought about it, and suddenly said: "Send all this news to His Royal Highness the King of Chu and ask his opinion." Before he could finish speaking, he waved his hand again. Forget it, I'd better write to him myself. ”
