Chapter 270: On Meritorious Deeds and Punishments for Crimes (I)
Liu He brought a letter written by Liu Zhao to his family, in which he greeted his family with warmth, placed high hopes on his sons, and encouraged his grandchildren. Liu Yu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't give him the letter.
Is Liu Zhao not paying attention to him, or does he not want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings at this fateful moment. It was always Liu Zhao who selectively ignored Liu Yu.
"Father, what do you say?" Liu Yu looked at Liu He in surprise.
Liu He sighed and said, "Father said, you have nothing to say to the twelfth brother. It's not that my brother doesn't want to persuade me, it's that my father doesn't listen to persuasion at all. ”
It seems that Liu Zhao is preparing to go all the way to the dark, and the Huaidi will be stable immediately after the pacification of the world, but who knows that the abnormal change is prominent, and the father and son stand on opposite positions, which is a dead knot that cannot be untied.
Liu Zhao did not withdraw his troops, and the new emperor's Luan Jia did not dare to return to Tongguan, so it was not a way to stalemate. Liu Yu thought that it was inevitable for the father and son to meet each other, so he explained the family affairs, took a group of people to Tongguan, and made a gesture of obeying the holy decree and preparing to persuade Liu Zhao in person. But at this time, the border army retreated, and Liu Zhao himself went to Luoyang City alone to ask the new emperor for guilt.
A dilemma in which the border army oppressed the Central Plains was resolved.
Liu Yu was a little relieved to get the news in Tongguan, but at the same time he also felt faintly uneasy. Liu Zhao first put on a posture of plotting against the rebellion, and only after the end of the day did he "come to his senses." It seems a little late, and those civil officials in the DPRK and China will definitely make a big fuss. Now the attitude of the new emperor will decide everything.
Soon the new emperor promulgated a decree, saying that the Marquis of Dingguo had meritorious service in guarding the border passes when the imperial driver was in charge of quelling the civil strife, and he was used with Luan.
No reward or punishment, the new emperor's attitude is very ambiguous. And this is also a decision made by Su Yan alone without any instructions from Liu Yu. Liu Zhao was temporarily relieved of military power. All the affairs of the border army. It was handed over to He Mao, the original commander of the Royal Forest Army.
Both civil officials and military generals, led by Yuan Bolang and Liu Yu, did not raise major objections, Yuan Bolang and other civil officials, for the time being, also seemed to let Liu Zhao go, after Liu Zhao surrendered, Luan drove soon into Tongguan, and then to Chang'an City. A peaceful war of the royal conquest. After nearly half a year, it was temporarily closed.
Liu Yu saw Su Yan again, Su Yan's face also showed a bit of maturity, in this month, the master and apprentice could be said to have no communication at all, and Su Yan seemed to be used to the days when Liu Yu didn't need help, and Su Yan handled big and small things very well.
Seeing Liu Yu, Su Yan's respect was greater than intimacy, and he gradually made progress in the number of courtesies, although he still looked very happy on the surface. But Liu Yue knew that Su Yan was no longer the scoundrel who was ignorant of the world in Chang'an City.
"Master, I didn't expect my master to come in with soldiers. Why didn't you persuade him to come earlier, I don't know what to say to those ministers. ”
When Su Yan saw Liu Yu, it was as if he was pouring bitter water on this matter. But Liu Yue understood that Su Yan was complaining.
Liu Yu is on the side of Luan Jia, and the infamy of all kinds of powerful ministers is endless, Liu Yu is not by the emperor's side these days, and those civil officials must have blown a lot of wind in Su Yan's ears. In these years, I am not afraid of mutual distrust, but I am afraid that the three of them will become tigers and say that the straight ones are crooked.
Liu Yu did not express any opinion on this matter, on the surface, it seems that Liu Yu Mingzhe protected his life, deliberately avoided the relationship with Liu Zhao, the marquis of Dingguo, and pleaded for good things He didn't do anything, so that those civil officials couldn't find fault.
…………
Luan drove back to Chang'an City, and everything was settled.
Although Liu Yu is in charge of the military power, since he drove back to Chang'an with Luan this time, he has closed his door, refused all those who came to visit, and even did not return to the home of the Marquis of Dingguo. Liu Zhao was like before he led the troops on this expedition, he was idle at home, and the guards were guarded by the Imperial Forest Army inside and outside the door. No matter who the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is, as long as he leaves the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, he will be followed, and he must ask Qu Zhu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, for instructions.
It is completely a person who treats the prince's mansion like a prisoner.
At this time, in the DPRK and China, there was a meeting to discuss merit and ask for rewards.
The world was pacified, the rebel leader King Huai and King Ding died, King Jing chose to surrender, King Shu and other vassal kings could not sit still, at this time the new emperor made the first move to summon the vassal king into Beijing after ascending the throne. Needless to explain, Liu Yu also knew that this was Yuan Bolang's idea, aiming to completely remove the threat of the vassal king at one time.
And it was at this time that someone secretly passed the news to Liu Yu, saying that someone was willing to meet him.
When I met him, I was very vague. Although the forward general's uniform is not under the guard of the Royal Forest Army now, there are also a lot of secret stalkers, all of which Liu Yu knows. These are not the Imperial Forest Army, because Qu Zhu will not do this, and it will not be from the Jingzhao Mansion or the Defense Division, because Li Mi and Sui Yi are also Liu Yu's people, and the entire Chang'an City is under Liu Yu's control.
These people were unemployed vagrants who were hired by civilian officials to monitor Liu Yu's every move. In order to reassure the civilian officials, Liu Yu had to pretend to be confused and let these guys dangle around the forward general's uniform. The body is not afraid of shadows.
It was at this time that someone came to deliver a message to him, whose identity was still unknown. Either the civil officials wanted to frame him for colluding with other vassal kings and plotting against him, or the vassal king really wanted to collude with him and plotted against him.
None of them were Liu Yule's opinions.
After reading this headless letter, Liu Yu directly threw the letter paper in the brazier and burned it. Pick up the book and continue to immerse yourself in the fictional story.
After returning to Chang'an City, Liu Yu had been closed for nearly ten days, and even Su Yan summoned him to the palace to discuss the rewards and punishments for quelling the rebellion, but Liu Yu resigned on the grounds of physical discomfort. Now Su Yan also shows estrangement from Yuan Bolang, and Zuo Xianglan He is unhappy with Liu Yu because of Su Jian's affairs, without Liu Yu's help, Lan He's status in the court cannot be compared with Yuan Bolang, and he is not valued by Su Yan.
The left and right ministers were alienated, and some of the newly rising ministers were taken in special favor by the new emperor. One is the former Xuzhou Taishou, the current Imperial Imperial Shi Min Shaoqing of the Imperial Inspectorate, and the other is the Deputy Imperial Imperial Shi Ma Feng. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and Su Yan transferred these two to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can fully see Su Yan's purpose. Even the basic meritorious work reward is also handled by Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng.
Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng, together with some civil officials who had meritorious service during the war, faintly became the third major force in the middle of the DPRK after Yuan Bolang, the right minister, and Liu Yu, the forward general, and won the trust of the new emperor. It is said that wherever Ma Feng goes, he is followed by a group of fans, because his words may involve the promotion, appointment and dismissal of many people.
When it comes to asking for rewards for meritorious service, and also when it comes to punishment for crimes, the ministers of the DPRK and China are very sensitive. For these two new magnates, they still have no way to stammer, so they have to test their tone first, and even investigate their preferences. (To be continued......)
