Chapter Seventy-Three: The Grace of Knowing Encounters, Entering the Dong Mansion for the First Time
Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was worried about the affairs of the imperial court again, and suddenly heard that Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, had died, and he also had no time for the political affairs of Youzhou, so he couldn't wait to rush to Luoyang, Kyoto in person. It's just that he knows that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, and what he was sent to Youzhou by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty for, and now if he impulsively rushes to Luoyang, there will be another riot in Youzhou, and his sin will be great.
He had to send his most trusted person from Tian Chou and his son Liu He to Luoyang to inquire about the news, so as to confirm who was on the throne of the Han family and the specific cause of the death of Emperor Ling of Han. No matter if you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, the most important thing now is to maintain the integrity of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and to avoid the destruction of lives and the use of some people again at this time to cause trouble in the northern frontier.
Since his son Liu He left Jicheng, and the matter left him from Tian Chou, no matter what Lord Liu Yu did, he felt as if he was missing something. He couldn't help but think of Emperor Han Ling's care for him, he was also in Youzhou at that time, but his official position was Youzhou Thorn History......
Liu Yuzi Bo'an, is the minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a native of Tan County, Donghai County, and the queen of King Gong of Donghai. His grandfather Liu Jia achieved the position of Guangluxun, ranked one of the Nine Qings, and his status was very prominent. His father, Liu Shu, was once the Taishou of Danyang. Liu Yu relied on his status as a clan, and after being promoted to filial piety, he was first a small official in Donghai County. Because of his diligence and hard work, he was appreciated by the county guard.
Soon Liu Bo'an made steady progress, step by step, and achieved the position of Youzhou Assassin History. Youzhou is actually a poor state, although it has jurisdiction over counties, eleven countries, and ninety counties, yi, and hou countries, but it is located in the north and borders with ethnic minorities, which is simply a chore.
But Liu Yu did not dislike it, after coming to Youzhou, he widely practiced benevolent government and enveloped foreign people, and the people of Youzhou were singing praises of Liu Yu's merits. In dealing with the struggles between foreign ethnic groups such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Zhan, Liu Yu has won the trust of these ethnic minorities by virtue of his superb political literacy and diligent and practical spirit, and his prestige among ethnic minorities is extremely high.
It is also because of Liu Yu's diligence and love for these ethnic minorities that these ethnic minorities pay tribute at any time, and no one dares to disturb our Han border. So that the people in Youzhou live and work in peace and contentment, the wealthy families are friendly with it, and Youzhou is thriving.
However, when Liu Yu's career was booming, Liangzhou rebelled, and the imperial court vigorously recruited soldiers and horses. In order not to overburden the ethnic minorities in Youzhou, Liu Yu did not reach the number of soldiers and horses recruited by the imperial court, so he was dismissed from his official position due to unfavorable official affairs and returned to his ancestral hometown in Tan County, Donghai County.
It wasn't until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out that it was reused. In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Uprising, which shocked the government and opposition of the Eastern Han Dynasty, broke out, and the rebel army led by Zhang Jiao soon broke through the counties of Jizhou. In just one month, fighting broke out in 28 counties in eight states across the country. The Yellow Turban Army is like a bamboo, and it is a powerful Beijing division.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty organized famous ministers and good generals to quell the rebellion, and on the other hand, he organized courtiers to pacify the people after the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, Liu Yu was reappointed as the minister of Ganling and went to Jizhou to pacify and rescue the people affected by the disaster, hoping that they could settle down as soon as possible.
After Liu Yu arrived in the dilapidated Jizhou, he insisted on starting from himself. He had no more than one or two vegetarian dishes per meal, wore shabby clothes, and set an example for his subordinates by being frugal. As a result, the subject country of Ganling was quickly pacified, and the people began spring ploughing, and there was no more stealing chickens and dogs in the country, and daring to break the law.
Soon after, Liu Yu was promoted again because of political affairs, and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty felt that he was dedicated to the public, so he added Liu Bo'an as Zongzheng and listed him as one of the Nine Qings.
Not long after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified, Zhang Chun, the former minister of Zhongshan, and Zhang Ju, the former Taishan Taishou, formed an alliance with Qiu Liju, Liaoxi County, Wuhuan, and launched a rebellion, and the war once again swept the entire northern territory.
Wuhuan Captain Ji Chou, Youbeiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yangzhong and others were martyred one after another, and the rebels soon reached hundreds of thousands. Later, Zhang Ju called himself the "Son of Heaven" and sent an edict to various prefectures and counties, saying that he wanted to replace the Han Dynasty, and also instructed 50,000 troops including Qiu Liju in Liaoxi to enter Qingdao and Hebei Prefectures to cause rebellion.
Because of Liu Yu's high prestige in the north, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty once again appointed Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou and asked him to go to Youzhou to quell the rebellion. At this time, Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, also personally met with Liu Yu and explained to him his ambitions, just because there were many factions in the court, he was not diligent in government, but only with the help of this disguise, he could govern the country well.
Liu Yu felt that it was not easy, so he was ordered to be willing to swear to protect the land of Youzhou and prevent another war here. After Liu Yu arrived in Jicheng, he "dismissed the provincial troops and served the Guang Enxin", and also sent envoys to separate Wuhuan Qiu Liju and others, who were on the top for a while, and offered a reward for the wanted Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and soon relied on his prestige to put down the rebellion.
Liu Yu, who returned with a great victory, was worshiped as a captain, but he refused to accept it, and successively recommended Weiwei Zhao Mo, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, and Nanyang Taishou Yang Xu, but Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, was determined to commend Liu Yu's merits, or worship him as the Great Sima. After the rebellion, Liu Yu continued to sit in Youzhou and protect the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty.
During his tenure, Liu Yu was lenient, persuaded to supervise agriculture and planting, opened the benefits of Guhu City, Tongyuyang Salt and Iron, Minyue Niandeng, Gushi 30, Liu Yu made Youzhou a happy land. Even the people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou have fled here, and Liu Yu has treated them equally, and the ratings are warm, "In order to make a living, the displaced people have forgotten their migration."
The people live and work in peace and contentment, but Liu Yu has never forgotten to be thrifty, often coarse tea and light food, wearing simple and shabby clothes, "those who are handsome and luxurious from far and near, do not change their minds and return to their hearts." Liu Yu, who adhered to his original intention, never lived up to the trust of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and guarded the Han frontier for him.
I never thought that Liu Yu still thought that one day, he would return to the court, see the face of heaven, and say goodbye to Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling. But he suddenly heard the bad news of the death of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, how could he not make the great Sima Liu Yu feel sad in his heart? He was really grateful to Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty for his kindness, but he couldn't meet him again.
Now above the court, it must be a mess, and his top priority is to guard the northern frontier for the emperor, which is the original intention of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, no matter how sad Liu Yu is in his heart, he does not forget his original intention, but focuses on the government affairs of Youzhou, looking forward to the court, more accurate news!
Tian Chou and Liu He, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, all the way to Luoyang, the capital division. On this way, the two did not dare to live in the post station again, for fear that something would happen on the road. It was really hard to protect the son Liu He from Tian Chou, and the two finally arrived in Luoyang, Kyoto on this day. At this time, it was the beginning of September, and the two of them even spent the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.
When the two entered Luoyang City, they saw a piece of Susu, and the two heard that the Queen Mother had just died, and they couldn't help but feel sad. Two foreigners, as soon as they entered the capital, cried bitterly, how could they not be remembered by some people? Tian Chou was vigilant and wanted to persuade Liu He to stop his grief, but it was too late. The two were intercepted by a sentry that flashed next to them and were about to be escorted away.
That matter shouted loudly from Tian Chou Ben Street: "I am the business of the great Sima Liu Yu, this son is Liu He, the son of Liu Bo'an and Lord Liu, who are you?" How dare you use your personal deeds and take people privately? ”
At this time, a person came out of the crowd, came to the two of them and said: "I am Li Ru and Li Wenyou, the adviser of Taiwei Dong, I heard the words of this brother, the little son is Liu He, the son of the great Sima Liu Yu?" Is this true? This is the land of the Son of Heaven, and nonsense is going to be a lawsuit! ”
Tian Chou didn't know it well, he had also heard that Li Ru and Li Wenyou were Dong Zhuo's side, looking at this person's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, looking like a villain, could it be that Dong Zhuo had already entered the capital? But now, for the safety of his son Liu He, he has to identify himself. In any case, my Tian Chou will definitely protect the safety of the little boy.
Tian Chou said: "Exactly, this son is Liu He, the son of my father-in-law Liu Yu. When my father-in-law heard that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had died, he couldn't sleep and eat, and he couldn't wait to come to Beijing to find out. However, Youzhou is newly determined, and the government affairs are busy, so there is no time. He sent the villain and the son to the capital to inquire about the news. ”
Then Li Ru smiled and said, "It turned out to be the little son of Da Sima Liu Yu?" Disrespectful, disrespectful! My father-in-law, Mrs. Dong, is thinking about Liu Yu and Lord Liu? That is the case, Tian Shicong, together with Liu Gongzi and me, will go to visit Mrs. Dong. In a while, my captain will take Liu Gongzi to meet him today? ”
Liu He said: "Brother Wenyou, dare to ask why the capital is so sued? The little nephew heard that the Queen Mother had just died, and I wanted to go to the Queen Mother's spirit to worship first, but I don't know if I could do this first and worship the Queen Mother? ”
Li Ru said: "I'm not in a hurry to worship the Queen Mother for a while, and I, Li Ru, have no right to take the little boy to the mourning hall to worship the Queen Mother?" The two of you should follow me to meet my family's master, Mrs. Dong, and then make a decision. Rest assured, my lord will be able to meet all the requirements of the two of you.
And my father-in-law is going to see the son of the day in a while, how can the little boy not see the son of heaven when he first comes to the capital? The affairs of the Queen Mother, it is not too late to go later. Let's both go with me. ”
As he spoke, he saw that Li Ru had already turned over and got on the horse, and Tian Chou waited for his son Liu He to get on the horse first, and then he flew on the horse and followed behind his son Liu He. Gongzi Liu He and Li Ru went hand in hand, and Li Ru was followed by dozens of captains, wrapped in the two, and rushed to the Taiwei Mansion together.
The crowd came to a splendid mansion surrounded by soldiers and horses. In front of the courtyard, there was a general who was nine feet tall, and he was really majestic and dignified. The general had a crimson horse in his crotch, and the horse was red all over and did not have a single stray hair. Among the military horses, it really stands out from the crowd.
Whether it was Tian Chou or Liu He, their eyes couldn't help but look at the future immediately. Look at that person again, with a golden crown in his hair, wearing a hundred flowers robe, Tang Yi armor, a lion and a barbarian treasure belt hanging from his waist, a pheasant feather on his head, and a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand!
Then Li Ru saw the general open his mouth and said, "Lu Wenhou, my lord Dong Taiwei is in the mansion?" I met Liu He, the son of the great Sima Liu Yu, in the capital, and specially brought him to visit the lord. ”
When Lu Wenhou saw Li Ru, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Wenyou is really the think tank of Taiwei Dong, the Lord has been waiting for Brother Taitai in the lobby for a long time, so don't be polite." Brother Tai brings people into the house, you don't need to check, you can enter the house quickly! ”
Li Ru and Lu Wenhou gave in, and then took Liu and Tian Chou into the mansion together. This Captain Dong's mansion is like a barracks, and you can see generals coming and going everywhere. There is even more in the house with five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry, and it is simply impossible to sneak into it.
When the two of them came to the top of the hall, they saw a fierce man with a rough figure coming......
