The matter was settled, Xu Xuanzhu came over to ask for advice, and Liu Yu said it straightforwardly, and Chai Jinnuo agreed. He didn't have an idea himself, such a thing came suddenly, and he could only accept the arrangement that others gave him.

Xu Xuanzhu went over and said to Ling Xu face to face: "Sister, the four horses are not unkind people, if you don't make a public announcement about this matter for the time being, he will take care of you after returning to Chang'an City, and try to admit you into the door in the future." ”

Ling Su is a woman, and she doesn't have many ideas, and she didn't plan to publicize this matter. The daughter's family name is damaged, although it will not be so much that the old Buddha will commit suicide by throwing himself into a well, but it will always be humiliating to the family, and it will be even more difficult to marry in the future. As long as Chai Jin is willing to be responsible, she is still happy to accept it.

After getting Ling Su's consent, Chai Jin personally went to explain to Ling Su, Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu also specially avoided it, and Chai Jin came out of the secret meeting after more than an hour, with a faint smile on his face.

"Solved?" Liu Yu asked.

"It's fine." Chai Jin said indifferently, "She said that she would keep this matter a secret." I believe in her. ”

Liu Yuxin said that now it is not a matter of whether Ling Xu is willing to keep secrets, but whether he can defend the impermeable wall. Even if Ling Su covers it up well, it will inevitably be noticed by his family in the future, and there are still many guards who know about this matter, and when the wind comes out, Chai Jin will be difficult to be.

However, fortunately, the matter is over, at this time the Huaidi has not been completely pacified, and the vassal kings and vassal lords are now ambiguous, if the court does not handle it properly, they are still likely to jointly rebel. Now that the Huai King is dead, the other vassal kings and vassal lords are more concerned about whether to reduce the military power of the local domain.

As soon as Huo Ill was gone, there was no news, and others didn't know where this young general who made the first contribution to the breakthrough of Jiankang City went, and there were speculations in private. It is basically attributed to Liu Yu's punishment of cholerosis. The words that forced Huo Sick away. The rumors even speculated about the direction of Huo's defection. First, the missing Huai Prime Minister Meng Chuliang is ready to help him make a comeback. The second is to go to Shu, the king of Shu suffered the least damage in this counterinsurgency, and the rebellion in the future has the best chance of success.

"Husband, where did the second tiger go?" Even Xu Xuanzhu couldn't help but ask Liu Yu.

At this time, it was the end of February, and the army was still stationed in Jiankang and Yangzhou City, and did not continue to attack or withdraw its troops. Instead, a large amount of military supplies are lost every day in vain, and logistics have to transport supplies south from the rear every day.

"Let this kid go out and do something, and come back soon!"

As soon as Liu Yu said this, Xu Xuan was immediately relieved. He trusted Liu Yu very much, and she was afraid that the rumors of others were the truth at first, and she didn't know how to persuade Liu Yu to make him want to open some, but when she heard Liu Yu say that Huo Yu didn't run away without permission, her heart was settled.

"In the past few days, the ministers of the DPRK and China have repeatedly urged the emperor to return to the court. The husband insisted on refusing, but there is a next step? ”

Because at this time, the counties of Nanhuai all over the country. All have submitted the allegiance documents to the Yangzhou City Palace, and Huaidi is equivalent to a war and peace from Jiankang. Those civil officials and politicians, led by Yuan Bolang, naturally wanted to end their outside rush and return to Chang'an City earlier, but Liu Yu believed that this was the most critical moment in the imperial army. Without a large army to crush the territory, the enemy will return at any time, and the unknown danger must be turned into known and then eradicated.

Liu Yu said the general truth, and Xu Xuanzhu nodded in agreement. Liu Yu said again: "In the past two days, there should be movement. ”

…………

Chai Jin's extramarital affair subsided for the time being.

Ling Xu wanted to go back to Chang'an City first, but Liu Yue was afraid that she would go back and talk nonsense, and the new emperor and Chai Jin and others were not in Chang'an, and the four princesses couldn't make trouble. I had to leave Ling Su behind and go back with the army.

In the pre-military positions, there were some transfers.

The new emperor promoted the forward general to the marshal of the left army, and demoted the original rebellious generalissimo Chai Jin to the marshal of the right army. This transfer made Liu Yu temporarily equal to Chai Jin in his military position, but the fact is that all the generals in the imperial army also understand that everything is now under Liu Yu's control, and Chai Jin is just a puppet at most. It is not clear which troops the left army and the right army are in charge of, but judging from the above meaning, at least their own army must be the left army.

Fortunately, since the attack on Jiankang, there has been no war, and the army has no intention of retreating or attacking for the time being. And the matter of adding officials to the knighthood seems to have to wait until the army returns to the court, and some meritorious soldiers seem to be impatient. This victory came very suddenly, and no one expected that the Huai army would go from being strong to being wiped out, but it was only half a month's work. conceited, which made the officers and men of the imperial army unaware of the potential dangers around them.

But Liu Yu made this danger very clear to the new emperor.

From Huaibei to Huainan, it has been in a strange circle of family governance, Huai Wang Dingwang and others, to put it bluntly, are the local political minds supported by these families, and Huai Wang and Ding Wang are governing the place and competing for the world, relying on the continuous network of these families, money and material support.

Although the Huai King is dead now, as long as the local family power cannot be disintegrated, they will support a second Huai King to confront the court at any time. Although the battle to break through Jiankang City this time was somewhat tragic, it did not hurt Huaidi, which was rich and rich, and it was necessary to use force to temporarily suppress the rise of local forces.

Liu Yu's reasoning was clear, and Su Yan didn't insist so much on returning to Chang'an City.

Although Chang'an City is his native place, it is not as good as his current leisure in Yangzhou City, Xiaoyu is by his side, and there are local officials who continue to make offerings, eating and sleeping are better, and Gonggong Wu will take some fun things to honor him every day. The carefree days of this period have almost swept away the gloom that he has been in Xuzhou City for two months.

"Master, I'm fine, I'm afraid that Yuan Xiang and they have opinions. The era name has also been set, why don't you take a look? Su Yan said casually.

The era name set by Yuan Bolang and other ministers is Qichang, which means to open the national fortune of Changlong. It's not much special, and now it feels like the world has decided to use some things on the surface to whitewash the peace.

Liu Yu said: "The emperor can make his own decision." ”

…………

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

This day is a festival of the year when everything is revived, and at the local level, the scale of celebration is even greater than that of the Spring Festival or the Shangyuan Festival.

Spring Festival family reunion, but that is limited to people who are outside, now most ordinary people only guard one acre and three points of land all their lives, reunite every day, and eat a good meal at most in the New Year, even if it is. On the Shangyuan Festival, most of the local celebrations were led by the government, and the local gentry co-organized, and the celebrations and lantern festivals were also flocked to by the literati and wealthy families, and the ordinary people were at most just joining in the fun.

The second day of February is not ordinary, it is a day for local farmers and people to pray for a good harvest in a year of good weather, and the activities involved are also organized by the local government, and every family must participate in it every year. This is a festival given by God to the people, and ordinary people dare not despise it.

The day was very lively in the local area, and Liu Yue was afraid that the masses would easily cause chaos when they gathered, so he stepped up the supervision of local activities around Jiankang.

On this day, Huo came back from outside, still holding a wooden box in his hand.

Many people did not expect that Huo disease suddenly disappeared and appeared, and the direction of Huo disease came from the south, many people roughly guessed something, but it was not real. When Huo Yi presented the wooden box to the emperor, everyone knew that the wooden box was the head of King Ding!

Huo Yi only left Jiankang City with a few dozen light horses, tracking down the Dingwang army, which had fled for nearly ten days, and he could still be beheaded by the king to return unscathed, no one did not admire his ability and ability. The rumors about his previous quarrel with Liu Yu that made him flee with his back are self-defeating.

At the small court meeting in the palace, Su Yan was first frightened by King Ding's head, and then returned to normal, seeing that all the ministers were looking at him and waiting for him to give Huo Yi praise and reward, Su Yan smiled and said: "This time to quell the rebellion of the rebel king, General Huo Xiao has made great contributions, and after the class teacher, I will definitely have a heavy reward!" ”

said that there was a heavy reward, but his eyes were subconsciously glancing at Liu Yu, and this reward seemed to be for Liu Yu to do.

The emperor's small move was looked at by some civil officials who were at odds with Liu Yu, and they were faintly a little resentful, after pacifying Huaidi this time, Liu Yu's position in the army has been completely solidified, and he has become synonymous with powerful ministers and rebel ministers in the serious civil officials. After all, the inability of soldiers to ask about politics has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the literati since ancient times, and now Liu Yu is very "weak", but he is already a military general in the army, and his repeated interference in the politics of the new emperor and the affairs of the court and China has made the literati regard him as the opposite.

Coming out of the palace, Huo Yi was a little unhappy, originally he was expecting to come back with great achievements and collect all his power and wealth, but he never thought that even the emperor Lao Tzu just gave him an empty promise, saying that he was returning to Chang'an City, Huo Yi didn't think that Chang'an City would be his home at all. The city wall is high, there are many people, and the sinister people must look down on him, and he hopes to get the reward as soon as possible and return to his hometown as soon as possible with a few small followers to show off, and be a "foreign master" that everyone is afraid of.

Being a "foreigner" is the highest goal of Huo Ill's life, and he was used to being bullied by those foreigners before, he worked hard to kill the enemy in the army, in order to one day be able to go back to his hometown and step on those outsiders, and he had no other luxury to stand with them in the same identity.

"Hey! Why didn't you keep what you promised? Huo Yi looked at Liu Yu angrily.

Liu Yu glanced at him and said, "That's what I told at the beginning?" Did it come as I commanded it? ”

Huo Zhi quibbled: "Those who can't be completed, you can't rely on me, who knows that those soldiers don't listen to me at all, I was so angry at that time that I almost slaughtered them." ”

"Why don't you slaughter?"

Huo Yi smiled and said: "I brought so many people, people in groups, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out alive!" ”

Liu Yu didn't expect that Huo Zhi was no longer brave and unscrupulous, and he also knew that Lu Dao was greedy for life and afraid of death.

This time, Liu Yu gave him the task of secretly killing Dingwang by contacting the eyes of the imperial court in the Dingwang army, and then bringing his head back, and by the way, he surrendered the Dingwang army. In fact, Huo was only half completed, and the Dingwang army was divided into several departments after the death of King Ding, and it was developing in the direction of bandits.
