This Dongtang banquet in Luoyang was indeed as Cao Chao thought, causing a huge sensation.

It's just that Cao Chao didn't pay attention to this matter anymore.

The ministers want to drag themselves to do things with all their might, so they will throw these things out first, let them bite them, and finish the most critical things first.

As for the things that happened in the East Hall banquet, Cao Chao directly threw them to Zhang Hua to deal with.

He actually wants Zhong Hui to deal with it, but there are too many things that Zhong Hui has to do, if he adds these things to him, even if he can bear it psychologically, he is afraid that his body will not be able to bear it.

Cao Chao didn't want to send away his number one minister so soon.

Cao Chao had rewarded many of his cronies before, and these people were more or less promoted, but Zhang Hua did not and continued to stay by Cao Chao's side.

Of course, Zhang Hua himself doesn't care much about this, and his character is still good.

Cao Chao didn't deliberately suppress him, he really needed someone around him who could come up with countermeasures in time to assist.

Just like the chaotic situation now, it can be handed over to Zhang Hua for the time being, one is to trust him, and the other is to sharpen his talent.

Zhang Hua will at least be a capable minister at the same level as Zhong in the future, and Cao Chao wants him to practice as soon as possible.

After handing over these things to him, Cao Chao took the free horse and went to meet the two big men happily.

When Cao Chao and Sima Yan stepped out of the carriage, Cao Chao signaled, and Sima Yan hurriedly arranged for people to guard the surroundings and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

This is an ordinary courtyard, located in the southern city of Luoyang, and it looks no different from the surrounding houses.

When Cao Chao walked into the mansion, there was a father and son sitting in the courtyard, with sad faces.

The father and son are none other than Na Lu Yu and Lu Qin.

These two people also fell into blood mold, and Lu Yu decided to leave Luoyang after he failed, but he couldn't get out of Luoyang at all.

He didn't even get out of town.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Chao with a smile on his face in front of him, angry and hateful.

"Your Majesty, what do you want Lao Chen to do?!"

"The old minister has already returned to his hometown, why don't you let the old minister leave?"

Cao Chao told Huabiao that Lu Yu and others could not get out of Sili after leaving Luoyang and were caught by Ji Kang, but in fact, this is a lie.

The truth is that Lu Yu and his son were kidnapped by a group of rangers and imprisoned in this residence the day after they met Zhang Hua, and they disguised the illusion that Lu and his son left Luoyang, so that everyone felt that they had returned to Hebei.

Lu Yu really didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, he initially thought that the Hebei clan was completely shameless and wanted to kill himself, but later received a message from the emperor, saying that he was very worried about his safety, so he protected him and asked him not to worry.

Knowing that the person who secretly imprisoned him was actually the emperor, Lu Yu's heart was about to collapse.

What kind of emperor is this? Even the means of the rangers have to be used? Sima Shi looks like a gentleman compared to you!

It's just banditry! Not even bandits!

Seeing the emperor coming to the door at this moment, Lu Yu couldn't help it anymore.

Cao Chao saluted him very cautiously, "Gong Lu, this time, it is my fault that has made you suffer grievances, please don't blame." ”

No matter how you say it, Cao Chao still has the identity of an emperor after all.

Even if Lu Yu was angry, in the face of the emperor's salute at this moment, he instinctively got up and saluted back, and the attributes of the scholar made it impossible for him to ignore the etiquette, "Your Majesty, don't do this." ”

"Lao Chen just wants to go home"

Cao Chao asked the two to sit down and sat down in front of them.

"Duke Lu, maybe you won't believe it, among the many ministers of the Later Han Dynasty, the one I admire the most is your father."

"I can govern the classics, I can lead troops to fight, I can govern the locality, and I can advise the emperor so well, but it's a pity that I was born at the wrong time."

Cao Chao suddenly sighed.

Lu Yu heard Cao Chao talk about Lu Zhi, and the anger on his face also dissipated a little.

In fact, Lu Yu didn't have a very clear impression of his father, when he was very young, his father was gone.

He couldn't tell whether his respect at the moment was out of etiquette or some kind of wordless longing.

"Duke Lu, I sent Zhang Hua to find Lu Jun earlier to let him continue to serve as the position of the Great Si Nong, but he is very worried about your safety and is unwilling to leave with you at such a time."

"This son of yours is quite like an ancestor, and I think he is more like his grandfather than you."

"I really need a capable minister like him who is filial and benevolent."

"Do you still want him to follow you to Hebei to die at such an age?"

Cao Chao cleared his throat, Sima Yan immediately walked in, Cao Chao motioned for him to sit beside him, and then said, "Anshi, tell me what you heard." ”

Sima Yan looked at Lu Yu and said seriously: "When we captured Gao Rou's chaotic party earlier, we found out that he had correspondence with many ministers, and he mentioned things about you many times. ”

As he spoke, Sima Yan took out a few letters and handed them to Lu Yu in front of him.

Cao Chao said calmly: "Look at it, you want to go back and enjoy your old age in peace, but those Hebei clans, but they don't have this idea, they are already ready to kill you, and even the people who do it are ready, these letters are written to He Zeng and Chen Ben, you should know how far they can go in Hebei, right?" ”

Lu Yu frowned, looked at the letters in front of him, and then, his face turned red.

He knew that he would encounter retaliation when he went back this time, but he didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to kill his family.

Lu Yu trembled all over.

He took a deep breath and calmed down, and at this moment he raised his head again to look at the emperor in front of him, but there was no complaint in his eyes.

He stood up tremblingly and saluted Cao Chao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Cao Chao hurriedly helped him up, "Alas, Duke Lu, as long as you don't blame you, I forcibly left you here, and I feel very guilty."

Lu Yu's face was full of shame, and he didn't even dare to look directly at the emperor, thinking of his secret abuse these days, he felt that he was becoming more and more inhuman.

These letters in Cao Chao's hand are really not forgeries, these are true!

Previously, in order to unite the ministers, Wang Xiang wanted to completely kill the Lu family and lead people to carve up the interests of many big clans in Hebei, and Lu Yu's father and son were naturally on the list that must be eliminated.

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid that we would have already encountered an accident"

"Lu Gong, don't say that."

Cao Chao looked at Lu Qin on the side, "Lu Jun, you still have to take the position of this big farmer." ”

Lu Qin looked at his father on the side, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the guilty person, how dare you continue to stay by Your Majesty's side"

Cao Chao said solemnly: "Lu Jun can't be so selfish, have you forgotten that you are not alone in Luoyang, you also have a brother-in-law, don't you care about his safety?" ”

"Hua Jun has made great contributions by assisting his father these days, but because of you, I don't dare to receive the reward."

"You don't want to be an official, do you want Hua Jun to be as white as you? At his age, isn't it the age when he should take revenge?! ”

As soon as Cao Chao opened his mouth, Lu Qin was even more ashamed.

"Me"

Cao Chao shook his head, "These days, Hua Jun has been writing to me, saying that he wants you to continue to serve as the chief farmer, saying that he wants to see you and persuade you, but he has been stopped by me. ”

This time, Luchin finally couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of going to meet him!"

Cao Chao glanced at Sima Yan again, and Sima Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if Duke Lu returns to Hebei with his family, he will definitely encounter the villain's plot, even if they can escape, how can Hua Jun and his wife and children live in peace?" ”

"The minister thinks that His Majesty can re-inquire into this matter and personally issue an edict to remove the official title of Duke Lu and let him reflect in the palace."

"In this way, the ministers will not dare to embarrass him again."

"And Hua Jun and Lu Jun can continue to serve you, the matter of planting in spring has been affected a lot, if you don't arrange Dasi Nong in time, I don't know what damage the people will suffer."

Hearing this, Lu Yu's father and son were speechless, and the house was exceptionally quiet.

Cao Chao nodded.

"That's fine."

"Lu Jun, I will arrange for Hua Jun to meet you, so you should be ready to serve as the Great Si Nong."

After he ordered the next thing, he was about to leave, and before leaving, he looked at Lu Yu again.

"Duke Lu, in order to seize power this time, you deliberately neglected government affairs, causing great casualties To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that I still need someone to make up for all this, I would have ordered you to abandon the city at the beginning!"

"If you still have a conscience, help your son more and try to make up for the mistakes you have made."

"Otherwise, when you die, what kind of face will you have to see your father?"

"When your father first ruled the place, he was very kind to the people, and even the Nanban admired him as a person, and did not dare to point his sword at him.

"Why haven't you been able to learn this from him?"

After some questioning, Cao Chao didn't say anything more, he turned around and left here with Sima Yan.

Luchin hurried to see him off.

Lu Yu just stood blankly, looking dull and not saying a word.

When Lu Qin sent them away and returned to the courtyard again, two tears appeared on Lu Yu's face.

"My father's reputation was ruined by my hands!"

Cao Chao had already gotten into the car, Sima Yan was sitting beside him, looking at Cao Chao with a serious face, he cautiously asked: "Your Majesty, he has promised to do things for us, why do you still have to question like that?" ”

"I think he's in bad health, don't be angry with these words"

Cao Chao shook his head, "I don't know that there are times when I just can't help it." ”

"When I'm a few years older, maybe it won't be like this."

"It's okay, I think, it's actually pretty good."
