Chapter 254: Ghosts in Chang'an City
When the young man in the dark robe made a decision in the study of Chu Hou Mansion, the soldiers and horses around Chang'an, or some areas in the north and northeast of the Later Han Dynasty, quickly converged towards Chang'an.
And the former princes of the Eighteenth Route and the heroes of the world also received a certain rumor that Liu Xuan was about to mobilize a large army to go north and start a war with Ji Yu.
Many people are curious, why did Liu Xuan, a traitor and a lost dog at the beginning, have so much courage?
Until, when they learned that Zuo Ci and General Zhao Ying, who had created the original Chu Hou Mansion in the past, had quietly found Liu Xuan and were about to deal with Ji Yu with Liu Xuan, many powerful people could not suppress their jealousy and envy, which was revealed from their greedy faces.
Why didn't this opportunity hit them on their heads, but it hit the brazen traitor, Liu Xuan?
However, just when the Later Han Dynasty set off an uproar, there was another place that was as calm as Chu Houfu.
That is the Changqiu Palace where Emperor Ling of the Later Han Dynasty was located.
At this time, in the Changqiu Palace, on the dragon chair and the phoenix chair, there were the current Emperor Lingdi of the Son of Heaven, and the queen who was wearing a phoenix robe and a crown on her head, looking extremely noble.
And beside them, except for the eunuch named Xiao Guizi's childhood sweetheart, there was no one else.
Every secret conversation in Changqiu Palace must be this scene, because in this case, the partition wall will not have ears.
The queen and Emperor Ling had already received the news that Liu Xuan's army was heading north and Ji Yu was mobilizing the army to gather in Chang'an.
The first to speak was naturally the incomparably noble queen mother in the eyes of the people in the palace.
She said: "Your Majesty, Liu Xuan is not what it used to be, after getting Zuo Ci and Zhao Ying, his strength has increased greatly, and when Ji Yu fails, we will lure the wolf into the room again, what should we do?"
Emperor Ling narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed with bright sharpness, and said, "If Liu Xuan is really a wolf, but he is always surnamed Liu." β
Just a simple sentence reflects the determination of the young son of heaven.
The queen mother smiled slightly and said: "But perhaps, we are too naΓ―ve to think, even if Liu Xuan is rising now, but that Chu Hou Ji Yu is not easy to deal with." β
Emperor Ling nodded undeniably, but his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said, "I just don't know, in this conquest battle, which people will Ji Yu leave behind to garrison Chang'an City?"
When the queen mother heard this, her mouth grew up, she looked incredulous, looked at the young man in front of her, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, do you want to stab Ji Yu in the back?"
When Emperor Ling heard this, he sneered and asked, "Why can't you deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves, when necessary, you can do whatever it takes, just like they do whatever it takes to disturb my world." β
This is the first time that the queen mother has seen such a cold face and expression of the young son of heaven, so she feels a little strange, and the chill hits her heart from her pair of jade feet, so that she can't help but shiver when she is wearing a phoenix robe.
However, the women of the Later Han Dynasty all marry chickens and dogs.
The queen mother figured out this reason in just a moment, and decided that no matter whether the young son of heaven went up the knife mountain or went down to the sea of fire, she would always be by his side, so she said with a serious face: "Even if you want to stab you in the back, you must find out, who will he keep and stick to Chang'an City?"
Emperor Ling nodded and said, "This is a big matter, Xiao Guizi, let you inquire about it, if you can't inquire, don't force it, everything is based on your own safety." β
When the eunuch named Xiao Guizi heard this, he hurriedly prostrated down and replied calmly: "The slave will definitely not live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
The people in the palace have their own scheming, and Chu Houfu is indeed discussing which people will stay in Chang'an City.
At this time, Fu Bang, Ling Yue, Han Xing, Long Jia, Xiahou Yuan, Bai Wuchang, Xu You and others were all located in the main hall of Chu Hou Mansion in turn, among which Bai Wuchang's mood fluctuated the most, and the expression on his face was the most obvious.
Because he and the judge are both from Yizhou, now that Liu Xuan has killed the judge, Bai Wuchang will inevitably feel cold lips and teeth, how good can his mood be?
Zhu Chongba and Duobao stood on Ji Yu's left and right, just like Ji Yu's most loyal guards.
However, everyone knew that with Ji Yu's current strength, where he needed any guards, and being able to stand beside him showed that he had a high degree of trust in the two of them.
Ji Yu said: "This time, going south to suppress the rebels going north, naturally requires strong forces and a lot of fierce generals, so there are naturally a lot of people to take away, and Ben Hou will also go to the town in person." β
"It's just that in Chang'an City, there are some ghosts after all, and they have to be guarded against, so we still have to leave some strong characters to suppress the rear. β
Fu Bang didn't speak, because he knew that Ji Yu would not let him stay in Chang'an City, if he was allowed to stay in Chang'an City, it would not be easy for Liu Xuan to fight, after all, Liu Xuan's side, but now is different from the past.
The rest of the people didn't speak, because they were all people who looked at Ji Yu's horse, no matter what decision Ji Yu made, as long as it wasn't ridiculous to the extreme, they basically wouldn't object.
It's a kind of high level of trust.
Ji Yu thought for a while and said: "Chang'an is now the capital, I want Mr. Xu You to act as the Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an City, and Zhu Chongba and Duobao will assist from the side, and the rest will go south with me to suppress it." β
After saying this, Duobao and Zhu Chongba were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked the great grace.
Ji Yu was also happy, raised his hand to signal the two of them to level up, and asked Zhu Chongba very closely: "Sister Ling, are you okay now?"
Zhu Chongba said with a serious face: "Eat well, sleep well, and be fat in vain, Hou Ye can rest assured!"
Such a simple answer made everyone present laugh again and again, including the high-powered Chu Hou Ji Yu.
At this moment, Xu You stood up, looked at Chu Hou who was laughing with a serious face, and asked, "I have been following you for a short time, so you will hand over the huge Chang'an City to me, aren't you afraid?"
Ji Yu felt a little interesting, and asked with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, manly husbands, afraid of this and that, what's the big deal?"
When Xu You heard this, his whole body trembled, his expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he said in a loud voice: "Xu You has been taught, thank you Lord Hou for your trust, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
At this moment, a scout of Shadow Phoenix walked in, knelt on one knee, and made a big salute to everyone, then looked at Chu Hou, and said, "Master Hou, the chief of the Great Interior, Gonggong Gui asks to see you!"
Ji Yu nodded and said, "Xuan!"
Except for Zhu Chongba, a person who understands the truth, most of the monks present have a feeling that they are confused.
The chief of Ouchi, Gonggong Gui, is not only the childhood sweetheart of Emperor Ling, but also the childhood sweetheart of the queen's mother, at this moment, suddenly ask to see Ji Yu, what will it be?
Could it be the condolences and blessings of His Majesty Emperor Ling and the Empress before leaving?
This is inevitable, and it's too hypocritical, right?
In such a puzzled gaze, Gonggong Gui, the chief administrator of the Great Interior, walked into the main hall of Chu Hou Mansion, knelt down to Ji Yu who was spasmodic in the main hall, and said, "Slave, see Lord Hou!"
His movements are very standard, so he is extremely respectful, even he does not have this kind of heartfelt respect for His Majesty the Spirit Emperor and the Empress Mother.
