Royal Road

In the Pingyang Hall, Liu Yuan supported the case with one hand and knees with the other, only a buzzing in his ears. What did he just hear? Shangdang defeated? Most of the 30,000 horses were broken? The coach died?

His family Xuanming was killed in battle?

"Absurd!" Liu Yuan shouted angrily after he slapped the case suddenly, "Isn't Xuan Ming wearing armor and riding equipment? There are so many fine riders! How can it be defeated?!"

The courtier who reported the report was already in a cold sweat, and kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, this time the Shangdang invited the Tuoba Ministry to help out. Another tricky trick was used to make the Chu king fall in the middle. The defeated soldiers have fled back along Luze, and there are many more to say. I heard thunder during the battle..."

He did not dare to go on. The rumors of the Buddha have long become a taboo by the court, and no one dared to raise the prestige of others in the temple.

Hearing the word thunder, Liu Yuan trembled all over, as if a nightmare that had been entangled for a long time rushed into his heart. Isn't it that Liang Zixi inferred that the eclipse went to war? Isn't it possible that thunder may be some kind of trick? How come such things happen again and again! Now even his favorite son will be swallowed up by this nightmare...

After shaking for a long time, he finally squeezed a word from his teeth: "Where is Xuanming's body?"

"This... All of the soldiers of the King of Chu were killed in battle, but they were never recovered..."

"Send the Sixth Army to march! I want to personally level the Shangdang!!" After Liu Yuan became the throne, he always thought about his words and put himself in the emperor's posture. Now that I didn't even say "I", it was obviously extremely angry.

Hearing this, the lower ranks knelt down, and the servant Wang Yu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, now that the army has conquered Hanoi and has not yet returned, how can it easily build troops? And Luoyang is empty, you can give it a try, but the state is strong and strong, and Tuoba's help, really can't be hasty!"

"Presumptuous! My son was killed by the thief. If this revenge is not reported, what kind of emperor am I?!" Liu Yuan was so angry that he directly rebuked.

"Your Majesty calm down!" On the other side, Sikong Hu Yanyi also said, "Wei Wu Wancheng was defeated, and Zhang Xiu should be used again? If you can't bear it, you will make big plans!"

What Hu Yanyi said was also the old thing. In the battle of Wancheng, Wei Wu killed his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin, and even the fierce general Dian Wei died to protect him. But later, in order to attack Yuan Shao, Cao Cao accepted the returning Zhang Xiu again, and held a banquet in his hand to relieve his suspicion. He even asked for Zhang Xiu's daughter for his son Cao Jun.

Emperor Wei Wu died but the eldest son who wanted to inherit the family business. How can you be so messed up if you only die of four sons? Hu Yanyi's words are true and correct. However, as the father of the Queen Huyan, he had long looked down upon Liu Cong, for fear that the prince favored by Liu Yuan would take Liu He's crown prince. Now that Liu Cong died violently, he certainly wanted to persuade Liu Yuan to suppress his anger.

These words really made Liu Yuan mute. As a new emperor, why doesn't he envy Wei Wu. But when things came to my head, I knew it was difficult. Liu Cong is not another son, but a beloved son who has been with him since he was weak. Being an official in Jin State together and staying abroad as a proton together, just this is enough to move Liu Yuan. Moreover, Liu Cong is very filial. In order to prevent him from being jealous of the Chengdu king, he even left the official post he just acquired and went to the Chengdu king.

This one son died unexpectedly, so dead that there is no body left!

Just thinking of this, Liu Yuan felt heartache, and even had difficulty breathing. However, the person below the level, who cares about his thoughts?

Wang Yu has already spoken again: "Before Tai Shi Ling had said that Luoyang would not be able to be captured three years later, it can be seen that Jin Guo's energy is not exhausted. Since this time is not successful, it is better to retreat to the west and overcome Chang'an as soon as Chang'an starts. Just now it's stable."

This was also their previous strategic thinking, but Liu Yuan was always reluctant to let Sima Yue go on an expedition, and had the mind to show his national prestige, so he took Luoyang. Unexpectedly, the news of the defeat of Shangdang came before Hanoi had been captured, and there was nothing to fight this time.

After a moment of silence, Liu Yuan said slowly: "Order Xilu to retreat and return to the court, and then make plans."

Seeing that he finally calmed down, Wang Yu also heaved a sigh of relief, bowing his head and saying yes. Liu Yuan was unwilling to stay in the court, and soon left the court. Like a real old man, he staggered towards the harem along the narrow corridor of Pingyang Palace.

"Liang Qing really won!" Sima Tan did not feel sick when seeing the head in the wooden box. On the contrary, his heart was filled with excitement of unmistakable people!

"We wiped out 10,000 enemies and killed the enemy's commander! This is a big victory! Did the soldiers and horses besieging Hanoi also retreat?" The little emperor turned his head and asked Wang Yan.

Wang Yan smiled and twisted his beard: "That's it. The pseudo-Han was originally divided into two groups, but Liu Cong was defeated so simply. This time the siege of Luoyang was solved."

"As expected of Liang Qing!" The little emperor couldn't help but smile.

Since he became the throne, no one has taken his words seriously. Apart from sitting on the throne every day and being a clay wood plastic, Sima Tan has no opportunity to exercise his power. Also beware of Sima Yue's gaze, for fear that a mistake will make a mistake and cause the other party to be jealous. Pouring a glass of poisoned wine will cost him his life in vain.

It was also because of such a long period of trembling. When he appointed the governor for the first time and supported him in the victory, the complacency made people feel intoxicated. He can also serve as talents and use his energy, and he can also control national affairs, even better than Sima Yue!

However, this thought only came into being for a moment, and the little emperor woke up again and took a peek at Wang Yan who was sitting aside. This Wang Situ was a close friend of Sima Yue, and he still couldn't make him suspicious.

With a light cough, Sima Tan said, "This time Liang Qing has done a great job again, how should I reward it?"

Such an obedient tone of asking for advice made Wang Yan a little headache. It is a good thing for Liang Zixi to break the siege of Luoyang, but how should he explain to Sima Yue? He should not like the news that the little emperor allocated food without authorization to promote the victory of the Shangdang. If there are too many rewards, Sima will inevitably be unhappy. But if there are too few rewards, how do you reward this amazing work?

After thinking about it for a moment, Wang Yancai said: "The Emperor Liang said in the good news that Tuoba Xianbei came to help this time, and he is very powerful, and he wants to entrust him to the county. Your majesty can appreciate it."

He first talked about the Tuoba Department, just to get a little bit of credit for going to the party. Although Daijun is in Youzhou, it is remote and bitterly cold. It is rewarded to the Tuoba Ministry. It is estimated that Sima Yue will not raise any objections.

The little emperor nodded: "This is natural. Where is Liang Qing?"

Seeing that the other party was so reluctant and unforgiving, Wang Yan's mouth twitched, and said lightly: "Liang Zixi only entered the county a few months ago, and he was promoted to the governor a few days ago. I am afraid it would be inappropriate to grant a magistrate. It’s good to give a gift this time."

The little emperor frowned slightly. Waiting for the Zhengdan Dynasty to talk about it, isn't it necessary to give the right of reward to his good uncle? How can such a small favor as Zengyi show his importance?

However, the words came to the lips, after all, they could not speak. The little emperor nodded silently: "That's what Situ said."

Now, it is not the time for his strengths. It is the best choice to protect yourself.

Seeing that the slightly used rights were taken away again, the little emperor endured and endured it before saying: "Hanoi generals should also be rewarded one or two."

The guards of Hanoi are all from Sima Yue. This order is obviously bowing to Sima. Wang Yan couldn't help but smiled and said, "Your Majesty is still thinking about it."

After dealing with these personnel arrangements, Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "However, this first level should be returned to Liu Yuanhai."

"What?" The little emperor suddenly raised his head, "Why send the pseudo-Han back? Isn't such a rebellious minister not punishable by everyone?!"

Wang Yan sighed softly: "Whether it is Liu Yuanhai or Liu Xuanming, I was once a minister of Jin Dynasty. It is really inappropriate to humiliate his corpse if he is dead now. Your Majesty should have the heart of a benevolent lord."

Sima Tan looked at the other side's pitying face, and was speechless for a long time. Benevolent Lord? Liu Yuan's rebellious courtiers and bandits are going to destroy the world of his Sima clan, so why should he be kind to him? Is this trying to win fame for him, or is it to flatter the pseudo-Chinese? This Wang Yan, still remember which courtier he was?

"... what Situ said is quite true." The little emperor replied in a low voice, clenching his fist tightly.

The fire in his chest burned more intensely. One day, like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he will use his clothes and belt to call on his loyal ministers to rescue him, and kill these rebellious ministers who control the government! It's just that he won't be as stupid as Liu Xie, being caught by Cao Cao. Sima Yue must die! Wang Yan must die! As long as he bears a little longer and waits for him to grow up and have more confidantes, he will give this thunderous blow again!

No matter how the dark tide surged in Luoyang Palace, the head was finally returned to Pingyang with a wood-carved body. Perhaps it was this weird "kindness" that was exchanged for the gratitude of the pseudo-Chinese. The fighting on the front lines of Hong Nong and Hanoi was so calmed down. Even with the state, also ushered in the long-lost peace.

After half a month, the soldiers and horses stationed in the Shangdang party were divided into several teams and returned to their respective stations. The troops also disarmed and joined the intense winter farming and reclamation. In a few days, the winter solstice is about to come, and we must step up to grab the seeds.

But not everyone is like this. There is also a soldier and horse, bid farewell to the Shangdang, guarding several carriages, and slowly marching towards Jinyang.

A few days later.

"Father!" Liang Rong almost used to run, and rushed into Liang Feng's arms.

This is not proper etiquette, but how could Liang Feng be offended? Reaching out and touching the corners of his son's head, he said softly, "How scared is Rong'er these days?"

"My child is not afraid!" Liang Rong's voice was raised twice, "My child has also learned a lot of art of war from General Yi!"

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked up, right in front of those blue eyes. The smile on his lips suddenly faded, and Liang Feng said softly: "Bo Yuan has also worked hard in this battle."

Yi Yan did not answer, but just gave him a military salute to the Liang Mansion. It looks like it's not like expressing merit, but rather like pour out longing.

The hand holding Liang Rong's shoulder tightened slightly, and Liang Feng said with a smile: "You are struggling all the way, let's go to the house and rest quickly."

Liang Rong didn't notice the strangeness of the people around him, and happily took Afather's hand and walked towards the strange governor's mansion. Behind the two of them, Yi Yan paused and followed.
