Volume 3 Traveling to the World Chapter 246 Liu Shuo, the King of the Plains
Wu Yong was worried that Liu Yun wouldn't be able to think about it, so when she woke up, she repeated what she had just said to Liu Lan.
Hearing Wu Yong say this, Liu Yunyu's eyes fluctuated a little,
"Really? I still have my family alive. Wu Yong sighed and said, "How could I lie to you." When we left the Bohai Kingdom, I secretly instructed your brother Liu Yuan and the others to flee from the Bohai Kingdom as soon as the situation was not right. Moreover, not long ago, I asked Yan Zhan to go to Bohai Country in person, and I only need to wait for him to return to know the situation. Liu Yun was moved to bury herself in Wu Yong's arms, her voice lingering,
"I didn't expect you to do so many things in secret, I misunderstood you before." Regarding Wu Yong's words, Liu Yun naturally chose to believe it, but she still had some doubts in her heart about how Wu Yong knew in advance that her father was going to commit suicide.
Seeing that Wu Yong didn't say anything, the two sisters didn't ask in detail. Wu Yong saw that it was a little late, and was worried that Wang Fu and others would find out, so he offered to leave.
Although Liu Yun was a little reluctant, he also knew that he was in a difficult situation now, so he finally bid him farewell. In the next few days, Luoyang officialdom underwent huge changes.
This incident of King Bohai made many people very afraid of the Ten Standing Servants, and some people were worried about the safety of their families, so they began to choose to resign and return to their hometowns, away from this place of right and wrong.
The Ten Standing Attendants and the others were very happy, and their behavior became more and more arrogant. Especially Cao Jie, as the head of the eunuchs, he arranged his father, brothers, sons and nephews to be ministers, school captains, state pastors, county guards, county magistrates, and county magistrates.
In just a few days, the Cao Jie family has officials all over the world. During this period, Yan Zhan came back to inform Wu Yong that only a few members of the Bohai King's family had escaped, and dozens of others, including the concubine Song, had been forcibly asked by the officers and soldiers to take poison and commit suicide.
"Where are they now?" Wu Yong sighed. Yan Zhan said a little casually: "According to Liu Yuan's request, I sent them to the Plains Mansion in Qingzhou, and I hurried back to report the news." ”
"Okay, you go down and rest first, I'll go out for a while." Wu Yong gave an order, and then rode to the White Horse Temple again to visit Sister Liu Yun.
As soon as he entered the door, he said with a solemn face: "The news that Yan Zhan brought back, you must be mentally prepared. Liu Yun and Liu Lan glanced at each other, and they both saw sadness in each other's eyes.
"Tell me, we've prepared for the worst."
"Because of the urgency of the situation, your brother Liu Yuan used Li Dai Taozhuang's method to save only a few people, and the others committed suicide by poisoning. Now Liu Yuan and the others are hiding in the plain palace. ”
"Father, mother, you died so unjustly!" Although they had been mentally prepared, when they heard the news that their parents had committed suicide, the two sisters were still heartbroken, grief-stricken, and hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Wu Yong watched quietly, and his heart was also vigilant. If you don't want your family to end up in such a miserable situation in the future, you must develop your own forces.
In this way, there was a strange scene in the room, two beautiful girls hugged their heads and cried, and a handsome girl was in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but when the two of them were in a better mood, Wu Yong asked, "What are your plans for the future?" Liu Yun let go of Liu Lan, wiped his tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go to the Plains Mansion to meet my brother first, and then discuss the next revenge together." ”
"Whatever you want, wait a few days, the wind will be quieter, and I will send you over." Wu Yong sighed. Nor did he persuade the sisters to give up revenge, for it was better to have a thought than to endure it in silence.
Liu Yun stood up, hugged Wu Yong, and said in a soft voice: "Thank you for doing so much for me, I will definitely live up to you in this life." As long as you say a word, you are a slave and a slave, and you have no complaints. Wu Yong shook his head and said: "You really don't have to be like this, the reason why I do this is also selfish......" Liu Yun didn't wait for him to finish, then blocked his mouth with his fingers, and said affectionately: "You have me in your heart, it's enough, I am now burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and I don't dare to ask too much." Wu Yong looked at her stunned, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
Just when he didn't know what to do next, Liu Lan coughed lightly, and the two quickly separated. Wu Yong arched his hand and said: "I retired first." With that, he quickly turned around and left the room, as if something scared him.
In the next few days, when Wu Yong was still thinking about how to quietly take Sister Liu Yun out of Luoyang, a piece of news completely shook the entire officialdom.
"Huiji Xu Zhao claimed to be a general, set up his father as the king of Yue, gathered tens of thousands of people to cause chaos, attacked the county, and led the people to rob the grain." Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was shocked and sent Yangzhou assassin Shi Zang Min and Danyang Taishou Chen Kun to recruit officers and soldiers to crusade.
There are rumors everywhere in Luoyang City: "The Son of Heaven allows the eunuchs to brutalize the prince of the clan, and the world may be in chaos." Wang Fu and the others felt like they had been hit on the head, and they suddenly relented a lot.
Wu Yong took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly left Luoyang with Sister Liu Yun. At the same time, in order to prevent Wang Fu from becoming suspicious, he also asked Cen Sheng to take Cheng Zhao back to his hometown in Wancheng first.
He secretly escorted Sister Liu Yun with Yan Zhan to the Plains Country of Qingzhou. On the way, Liu Yun told Wu Yong some unknown deeds of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains.
As mentioned earlier, Liu Yi, the Marquis of Liwu, had an extraordinary appearance, and he had three sons, the eldest son Liu Zhi, that is, Emperor Huan of Han, the second son was Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, and the third son was Liu Kui, the king of Bohai.
Although Liu Zhi and Liu Kui did not inherit their father Liu Yi's handsome appearance, they were quite normal. However, Liu Shuo is different, he is short and fat, with a very big head, a round face, a pair of thin and long eyes, a high and wide forehead, and almost twice as wide as others between his two eyebrows, especially his feet are very small, it can be said that he has been one since he was a child
"Top-heavy" children. Because of his inferior appearance, Liu Shuo was not valued by his family since he was a child, and sometimes he was even ridiculed by others. It is this environment that makes Liu Shuo develop a habit of drinking like his life. The quality of wine is not in itself, but in the mood in which you drink it. If a person is full of pain, even if it is the best wine in the world, it will be bitter in his mouth. Some people, the more they drink, the more sober they become, but they look confused. Some people, the more they drink, the more confused they become, but they always claim to be sober. Some things are done soberly under the cover of confusion with the strength of alcohol. Some things are done with the strength of wine, thinking that they are sober but confused. Wine is a special invention, which can make people's interest high, for example, to make the talent of the literati surge like a spring; Let the heroism of the warriors fall like rain; Let the hearts of the righteous be firm and abnormal; Let the lustful thief's gall expand violently...... Of course, the most wrong thing about wine is also known to everyone. For example, when Liu Shuo was young, he often rode in a carriage, brought a pot of wine, and asked his entourage to follow him with a shovel, and said to his entourage: "If I die somewhere, you can dig a pit there and bury me casually!" "It's rare to drink to his job, putting life and death out of the way.
He was so addicted to alcohol that he lived all day
The life of "drinking for half a day and sleeping for half a day". One day, a man asked him why he kept drinking, and he said:
"I can only sleep peacefully when I drink alcohol." The man asked him why he was so sleepy, and he said confidently, "Only when you sleep do you not think about drinking." "Such a person is called an alcoholic, which is not too much at all.
As mentioned earlier, the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty only received food and food, but did not have any real power. The internal affairs of the kingdom are attributed to the prime minister, and the military affairs are attributed to the lieutenant.
The imperial court forbade officials to serve in the kingdom and the princely state without permission, and all the officials of the kingdom and the princely state were appointed by the imperial court.
This leads to the fact that the princes and kings are very idle most of the time, and when people are idle, they are prone to all kinds of problems, especially for a person who is addicted to alcohol, and may do many incomprehensible things.
As a member of the Han family, it is not a big deal to be addicted to alcohol, but when drunk, he is often prone to drunkenness and beats and scolds servants at will, which is a bit unacceptable.
Even, sometimes so drunk that even his wife and daughter dare to beat and scold. Once, at his birthday party, everyone chatted very happily together and drank a lot of wine, but it was out of control, and Liu Shuo got drunk and went crazy.
He actually poisoned the concubine Jia, and beat the concubine with a whip, so that Jia's skin was full of flesh, and the family begged him to stop, but where could he listen?
It was his mother Ma Guiren who came forward to stop this farce. Jia was covered in bruises, and it took a long time to recuperate.
Although Jia Shi was greatly wronged, she did not dare to act rashly. After all, Liu Shuo is the king of the plains, the younger brother of Liu Zhi, the son of heaven, if he offends him, his family will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so he can only swallow his anger.
On the other hand, Liu Shuo's temperament is very strange and he treats people very ruthlessly, and Jia is afraid of causing death, so he can only dare not say anything.
Not only that, Liu Shuo is often drunk, which leads to inappropriate behavior and speech. For example, when he was drunk, his head was dazed, so he gave the singer away, and when he remembered it afterwards, he regretted it and asked someone to get it back.
Sometimes he was provoked, and the valuable items at home made him wave his hand and give them away at will. Another time, he even accused Liu Zhi, the son of heaven, of being mediocre and incompetent, and threatened that in the future, he would be the son of heaven and would work hard to rejuvenate the Han family.
Frightened, his family hurriedly locked him up, and even forbade him to drink at will. After Liu Zhi knew about this, he also scolded him, so he ordered Ma Guiren to manage the family affairs of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, and strictly forbade him to drink.
Hearing Liu Shuo's deeds, Wu Yong also admired the five-body throw. In the end, Liu Yun warned Wu Yong: "When you get to the Plains Palace, you can't drink with my imperial uncle no matter what." ”
