Liu He dared to invite the emperor to enter the city gate with him in a car in front of all the ministers and the people of Luoyang, which was naturally not a move caused by Xingzhi, let alone to leave a high-flying impression on all walks of life in Luoyang.

Liu He's move has great significance. When he single-handedly founded Tianzheng Dao, he had already figured out how to go in the future, the dragon chair in the Luoyang Palace was no longer very attractive to him, Liu He came to Luoyang to seek a longer and stronger road in China.

When the general's chariot arrived at the main gate of the palace, Liu He sent the emperor off the car and said: "Imperial nephew, I have some affairs to deal with in Luoyang, and I will come to the palace to talk to you after these few days." ”

When Liu He said this, his expression was kind, and his tone was calm, as if he was facing his own family, without pretentiousness, and he didn't seem to think about anything else at all. In Liu He's opinion, since the emperor calls himself "Uncle Huang", it is natural for him to call the emperor "Imperial Nephew", as for whether outsiders will feel harsh when they hear it, it is someone else's business. Piercing or pleasing to the ear, anyway, Liu He has decided to open the prelude to the great reform of the Han Dynasty from top to bottom, where would he care about such a small detail.

When Liu He was in Jicheng, he and his father Liu Yu shared the government to govern affairs, and now that he has come to Luoyang, he will naturally not live in the Taifu Mansion. When Monk Liu was in Yecheng, Li Yan organized craftsmen to repair and tidy up the mansion where the general He Jin lived in the past, just waiting for Liu He to move in. After sending the emperor back to the palace, Liu He did not go directly to the renovated General's Mansion, but came to the Taifu Mansion to meet his father Liu Yu.

Liu Yu for the arrival of his son. My heart is both joyful and entangled. He is happy that after his son comes, he will be much easier, just like in Jicheng back then, many complicated and trivial things can be thrown to his capable son. He struggled with how his son would get along with the emperor and his ministers. Although the son is not a cruel and unkind minister, but he is definitely not the kind of weak person who allows others to dictate him, if anyone dares to contradict and stop his son's determination and intention, the son who holds the power only needs a look, a word, can make the blood flow in Luoyang City in an instant.

When father and son see each other, they have to ask for warmth and heart-to-heart. In the dead of night. In the study, Liu Yu asked his son softly: "Shiren is here, what is the picture?" ”

Liu He seemed to have expected his father's question, and replied calmly: "The one the child wants." It is the business of the Han Dynasty! ”

Liu Yu asked again: "Want to be Huo Guanghu?" Want to follow the king's recklessness? ”

Liu He laughed and corrected the mistake in his father's words. "Father, our identity is different from Huo Guang and Wang Mang. How can Huo Guang compare with Wang Mang? The child knows what is in his father's heart. The child promised his father today that he would never ascend the throne and become emperor in this life, and he would not do anything undeserved to the current emperor. ”

Liu Yu knows that his son has always kept his promises, as long as he says it, he always does what he says. He nodded, and then asked, "Why did you invite the emperor to ride with you in front of all the ministers outside the city gate today?" Why did the emperor speak casually when he entered the palace? ”

"The child invited the emperor to share the car with him, to tell the world, as long as it is what I want to do. The emperor cannot disobey either! When the emperor entered the palace, the child called him the emperor's nephew, which was to sue the people of the world. The Liu royal family was in harmony, and the emperor and the clan were in the same spirit. ”

"If you act like this, aren't you afraid that others will accuse you of having no king and no ministers, and you are Dong Zhuo's second?"

"Father rest assured, the child thinks that he has enough hope, and all the good deeds in the past can make most people in the world understand and accept my strong behavior. I also ask my father to understand the child's current situation, I can not fight for the dragon chair, I can also ensure that the emperor lives a decent and dignified life, and even gradually gather the power of the empire, and then take out a part of it and put it in the hands of the emperor, but in order to follow my tens of millions of soldiers and civilians, I must maintain a strong and inviolable posture, otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered, and it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”

Liu He's words are very straightforward and honest, although Liu Yu is loyal to the Han family, but when facing his son, it is not easy to accuse him of this kind of minister's mentality. After all, when the Han was about to fall apart, he turned the corner and even gradually showed signs of nirvana rebirth, all thanks to his son's unremitting efforts and hard work. Liu Yu never doubted that if the Great Han was handed over to Liu He, it would definitely be better than in the hands of the current puppet emperor. Since Liu He promised not to attack the emperor, and even took the initiative to take power for the emperor, Liu Yu no longer demanded of his son, but asked about Liu He's specific plans.

In the face of his father's inquiry, Liu He did not hide and reserve, and said his long-term plans and short-term goals after coming to Luoyang. ”

Liu He thanked his father and returned to the general's mansion overnight, but he didn't care about the fatigue all the way, and after eating some supper, he discussed with Zhao Yun, Li Yan, Jia Kui, Chen Qun and other subordinates.

Li Yan first reported to Liu He the situation inside and outside Luoyang City, Zhao Yun briefly reported to Liu He on the dynamics of various soldiers and horses around Luoyang, and Chen Qun and others also reported to Liu He on the economic and people's livelihood in Luoyang. After listening to this, Liu He said to everyone: "You are diligent in your work, and all preparations are not leaky, which will be of great benefit to our plan in the next step." That's all for today's deliberations, and the next step is to act on orders. ”

Zhao Yun had his own mansion in Luoyang, Jia Kui returned to the military headquarters of the Shen Xi Army, and Li Yan and Chen Qun returned to the Taifu Mansion to continue assisting Liu Yu.

Although many people were very dissatisfied with Liu He's domineering practice of calling the emperor "imperial nephew", but because of Liu He's prestige and the various armies around Luoyang, Luoyang City fell into a strange wait-and-see atmosphere from the second day.

Originally, in the eyes of many people, Liu He came with a large army to set off a bloody storm in Luoyang, and clean up those forces who were unwilling to submit and those who had confronted Liu Yu in the court. However, Liu He's actions in the next period of time were greatly beyond people's expectations.

After Liu He sent off his subordinates on the fourth watch, he lay down and slept, and then slept until noon. After Liu He woke up, he first sent someone to send a box of books into the palace, and also left two gentlemen for the emperor to answer the emperor's questions when reading books. The two gentlemen who stayed in the palace were not mortals, their names were Bing Yuan and Guan Ning respectively, and they were the most knowledgeable Confucians after Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi. These two celebrities and gentlemen answered the emperor's questions, not only to block the world's mouths, but also because they have lived and settled in Youzhou for many years, they can just tell the emperor about the great changes in Youzhou.

What outsiders don't know is that Guan Ning and Bing Yuan have now joined the Tianzheng Dao and become the core members of the Tianzheng Dao, and through the influence of Cai Yong and Liu He, they have completely abandoned the narrow sectarian view of Confucianism since Dong Zhongshu, and now they are putting all their energy on studying the sect of the Tianzheng Dao. Although Liu He is the suzerain of Tianzheng Dao, Tianzheng Dao is not Liu He's organization alone, but a palace where the top elites from all walks of life in this era gather, so Guan Ning and Bing Yuan are particularly concerned about the compilation of Tianzheng Dao and even the teachings of Tianzheng Sect, because if this matter is done well, they will be able to realize the greatest ambition of life of "standing up, establishing morality, and standing up".

At the same time that Guan Ning and Bing Yuan entered the palace to teach the emperor, Liu He was not idle, starting from Ma Riyan, he visited the ministers of the court and the central government one by one, revealing his determination to change the law and reform to these people, hoping to get their understanding and support, and not to become a stumbling block on the road of change.

Ma Riyan was very old, and he did not put forward any other requirements for Liu He, but only asked Liu He to try to adopt a gentle and gradual method in the process of implementing the reform, just like in the north, not to be greedy for merit and rash progress, let alone to adopt too violent means. Liu He agreed with Ma Riyan's idea, and bluntly said that he was still young and had the patience to change the Han in 30 or even 50 years, so he would never cause the blood to flow in all parts of the Han Dynasty because of the change. However, Liu He also emphasized his determination to reduce the authority of the governors of the states, especially the determination to incorporate the armies of the states into the direct jurisdiction of the central government, and in this process it will certainly not be smooth sailing, and when the time comes, the battles that should be fought must be fought, and the damned people must also die. Ma Riyan expressed his support for this and fully agreed with Liu He's practice of incorporating the armies of various states.

After meeting Ma Riyan, Liu He met Lu Zhi, Zheng Tai, Han Fu, Duan Xuan, Sima Fang, Zhang Miao, Zhang Yang, Wei Qi and others, among these people were Lu Zhi and Han Fu, who had been very close to Liu He, Zheng Tai and Duan Xuan and others, as well as Sima Fang and Zhang Yang and others with unclear attitudes. Liu He's humble and cautious attitude has won the favor of the majority of the people, and has also won the understanding and support of the majority of the people.

After visiting the bigwigs in Luoyang one by one, Liu He summoned officials from various counties around Luoyang and inquired in detail about the administrative ideas of these county orders and the attitude of the local people towards reform.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, half a moon has passed, and Liu He finally finished meeting the person he wanted to see on this day, so he sent someone to the palace to spread the word, preparing to enter the palace to meet the emperor. (To be continued......)
