Chapter 40: Berwyn Assists the Emperor

When Wei You had almost completed Liu He's task, Liu Bowen and Dong Bai had already arrived in Chang'an with Yanyun's eighteen horsemen.

They didn't have anyone from the court to greet them, and Liu Bowen and others also came to Chang'an disguised as merchants.

Now Chang'an is quite stable, Li Dao and Guo Yan and other Xiliang troops were presented to Emperor Liu Xie as an official and marquis, Li Dao expressed his satisfaction, and ordered General Xiliang to manage their respective troops.

But Guo Yanxin saw that Li Wei's status was higher than him, and there were many imbalances in his heart, and the two sides had fought each other many times, but under Jia Xu's suppression, they could be regarded as calm.

When Liu Bowen saw the ancient capital of Chang'an, he also sighed deeply, shook his head, and then showed a determined look in his eyes.

It is difficult to revive the Han dynasty, and only by assisting a generation of Ming monarchs and establishing a new dynasty can it be done at present.

Liu Bowen had already decided, after coming to Chang'an, he would go to find Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng's Dong family is a Kansai family, and now in Chang'an, only Dong Cheng is willing to accept them in the court.

As Liu Bowen expected, Dong Cheng knew that Liu Yu was going to Liu Bowen, the same royal family, and hurriedly came out to greet him, and when Liu Bowen proposed to meet Liu Xie, he also directly agreed.

Dong Cheng took Liu Bowen as the deputy general and took Liu Bowen directly to the palace, and the generals under Li Dao would not care about a deputy general, after all, there are 200,000 troops in Chang'an City now, and they dare not do anything big.

Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

The current Weiyang Hall is particularly deserted, and a young man is facing the map of the Han Kyushu with his back on both sides.

After Liu Bowen entered, he saw a young man, wearing a dragon-patterned cotton robe and a purple-gold crown on his head, and then immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully: "Liu Yu and Liu Gong are in the same vein as Liu Bowen, please meet Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie was looking at the map and was fascinated, and when he heard Liu Bowen's words, he was startled, but he quickly recovered, without the slightest nervousness, and said loudly: "Get up!"

Liu Bowen was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the last emperor of the Han Dynasty had such a good temperament, and he already had the momentum of a king at a young age, but it was a pity......

Liu Xie has already listened to what Dong Cheng said, and now Liu He is the overlord of Liaodong, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is ready to recover Youzhou.

"Berwyn, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Liu Xie squinted his eyes, smiled, and hurriedly walked over and helped Liu Bowen up.

"I've been waiting for the Han clan for a few years, you are the first Han family disciple I saw, and I didn't expect Uncle Liu Huang (Liu Yu) to die at the hands of Gongsun Zhan, alas!" Liu Xie thought of Liu Yu's appearance in the past, and his heart was also painful.

Liu Bowen also followed Liu Xie, with a sad look on his face.

After a long time, Liu Xie recovered, knew the purpose of Liu Bowen's visit this time, and thought that he was now in Chang'an, but he couldn't get out of the world.

So Liu Xie took a deep breath, stared at Liu Bowen with both eyes, a ray of light burst out of his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Berwen, if there is chaos today, and there are many princes who do not respect the Han family, although I have the ambition of Emperor Guangwu, but I do not have the heroic army of my ancestors, and you, as a descendant of Emperor Guangwu, have 100,000 male soldiers in Liaodong, are you willing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty?" Playing for me? ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we are the Han royal family, and we will not let the princes occupy my Han territory, and we are even more loyal to Your Majesty, and we have nothing to say."

After a series of words by Liu Bowen, and the fact that Liu He was originally a royal family, even if Liu Xie didn't believe it, he would rather hand over the territory of the Han Dynasty to Liu He than to the princes of various places.

What's more, in Liu Xie's heart, he also has great trust in the Han royal family. After all, the clan relationship has been passed down from the Zhou Dynasty to the present, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And Liu Bowen was also surprised that Liu Xie had such ambitions, if he didn't find Liu He, he might be willing to follow Liu Xie to regain the glory of the military and recover the princes of various places.

But after the retreat of the Kwantung Alliance, the princes of the world have already had ambitions, even Liu He has ambitions in his heart, Liu Bowen also has them, he wants to be a minister of the dragon!

Liu Xie thought for a while, looked at Dong Cheng again, and then said loudly: "In the past, Uncle Liu Huang, the former assassin of Youzhou, died at the hands of the traitor Gongsun Zhan, and now he has specially ordered Liu He, the son of Liu Gong, and Liu Xinghe to serve as the assassin of Youzhou, give Yanhou, and soon, recover Youzhou, and kill the traitor Gongsun Zhan!"

When Liu Bowen heard this, he was overjoyed, but there was no wave on the surface, but he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"

The history of Youzhou is enough to win the entire Youzhou, and with this title, Gongsun Chan will lose the hearts of the people, and even the hearts of the people.

The Han family has ruled the world for hundreds of years, and the people are still willing to believe in the Han family, although there are not many left, but there are still some loyal ministers.

Yanhou is enough to allow Liu He to manage Youzhou, Merge Prefecture, and even some counties in Jizhou, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

"Seal Liu Bowen as a loyal marquis, with a rank of five hundred stones." Liu Xie smiled at Liu Bowen and continued.

Liu Bowen was suddenly shocked, a little stunned, and then hurriedly took the holy decree.

Liu Xie saw Liu Bowen take the holy decree and nodded.

Liu Xie's strategy is of course to buy people's hearts, Liu Bowen, as a member of the Han royal family, and has received holy grace, will definitely help Liu Xie.

Liu Bowen was also surprised by Liu Xie's means, if he was born a few years earlier, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic!

But now, it's too late for anything, even if Liu Xie has the ability to reach the sky, at most he will recover Sili Erzhou.

"Your Majesty, now that Li Dao and Guo Yan have a gap in their hearts, why doesn't Your Majesty provoke the relationship between the two, the two tigers will fight each other, and there will be an injury?" Liu Bowen saw Liu Xie treat him like this, and Liu He also hoped that Liu Xie could have the ability to protect himself, so he said.

When Liu Xie heard this, he immediately stood up and hurriedly asked, "Does Berwyn have a good plan?"

Before Liu Bowen could speak, Dong Cheng, who was on the side, interjected directly: "Zhonghou, I don't know, although they have gaps, they are still the Xiliang Army, and we have no soldiers in our hands, even if they really fight, we can't do anything."

Liu Xie, who was originally excited, heard Dong Cheng say this, and also felt right, they just didn't have troops now, and they couldn't do anything at all, and then sighed, showing a disappointed look.

Liu Bowen smiled, turned to Dong Cheng and said, "Who said that there is no army of ours now?" There are two forces in Liangzhou, which can be used by us. ”

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he thought of Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou now.

"Your Majesty, Ma Teng is a descendant of Emperor Guangwu Fubo's general Ma Yuan, and he should still be loyal to my Han Dynasty, if Your Majesty sends someone to pass on the holy decree, order him to come and escort him."

"And before the minister came to Chang'an, I heard that there was a famine in Liangzhou now, and most of them have become refugees, and the soldiers under Ma Teng and Han Sui already want to attack Chang'an and seize food, which is exactly what I want!"

"With these soldiers and horses coming to Chang'an, it will definitely increase Your Majesty's prestige, if you can recover Ma Teng, Your Majesty will also have the ability to protect yourself in this troubled world!"

Liu Xie's face was ruddy, and he was excited for a while, and hurriedly shouted three times: "Okay!"

In the end, Liu Xie secretly looked at Dong Cheng, and when he saw Dong Cheng nodding, he immediately issued an order to let Ma Teng and Han Sui come.

Liu Bowen also saw Liu Xie's gaze, and he was relieved in his heart, if Liu Xie made a decision directly, then he would already be the face of a king, and now he can't make up his mind, but he is still too tender to succeed in a short time.
