Chapter 80 change
However, seeing Liu Xiu’s calm demeanor, he took a step forward, blocked Ashu behind him, blocked Geng Yun’s eyes, raised his eyes indifferently, looked directly at him, and said loudly: “My wife is beautiful, everyone knows it. I took the initiative to ask for marriage that day, and it was a great blessing to get this woman.”
In his words, he was full of love for Zhao Ji, and he ignored Geng Yun’s inconsistency in his words, which suddenly made his face dull.
Immediately afterwards, before waiting for his response, Liu Yu asked again with a smile: “Today, His Majesty held a banquet and invited me to the Liu family’s lords and clansmen to attend the ceremony, but I don’t know why the Great Sima came?”
He said it calmly, but there was a sense of irony in it.
The so-called family etiquette refers to putting aside the distinction between the ruler and the minister, like ordinary family members, regardless of etiquette, and having fun together. Although the blood relationship between the young emperor and most of the lords gradually faded, in the end they were all relatives with the same surname.
And Geng Yun is no more than a courtier with a foreign surname. Although he holds the power and manages the government on behalf of the emperor, he still has a difference between the emperor and the emperor that is difficult to overcome. On the occasion of such a family banquet, he suddenly entered, it was really unbearable to ridicule and despise.
Geng Yun’s arrogant and contemptuous faces froze for a moment, gloomily glanced at the princes who bowed their heads and endured laughter, and finally looked at Liu Yu with a gloomy expression on his face.
In the past, Liu Xiu had always shown people with humility and gentleness. He had never spoken so sharply. Today, he suddenly changed his normal behavior. Could it be that he has noticed something?
He narrowed his eyes and said, “I have been appointed by the late emperor to assist His Majesty. Whether it is a major political event, or diet and daily life, there are no small and large details. I will ask them one by one. Today’s banquet should naturally be the same.” Some pointed, “Otherwise, if someone is behind my back and leads His Majesty astray, what can be done?”
Everyone knows that the so-called appointed emperor is nothing but a lie. When the late emperor died, Geng Yun was indeed one of the auxiliary ministers, but at the same time, Liu Yu, the elder brother of Liu Yu, who was the chief Situ at the time, was also appointed. Moreover, the orphan entrusted by the late emperor was not the current young emperor, Liu Xian, the king of Zhongshan back then, but the prince Liu Dan, who was fourteen years old and the late emperor himself proclaimed.
At that time, Geng Yun not only did not share the responsibility of assisting with Liu Xun, but on the grounds that his filial piety violated his filial piety, he abolished the crown prince Liu Dan as the king of the East China Sea. Liu Xian ascended the throne.
Liu Xiu still had a warm smile on his face, his demeanor did not change, he gave a slight bow, but he sneered: “I never imagined that Da Sima was so loyal to the late emperor and the Han family.”
Geng Yun, who was also a Confucian student, knew very well the principles of ethics. Facing this remark, he felt shameless, so he sneered, turned his sleeves, and stepped onto the stage.
Liu Xiu looked at his back, and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. His reaction was exactly the same as what he had expected before.
His weakness lies in the words “justifiable”.
…
On the high platform, the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven were already sitting in line. When Geng Yun and the princes entered, they ordered them to sit down and play music without sacrificing, which made the hall appear peaceful and harmonious.
However, all the lords still had lingering fears because of the confrontation between King Xiao and the Great Sima just now.
Liu Xiu was always calm and composed, and when he raised his hands and feet, he was a gentleman, while Geng Yun looked gloomy and glanced at Liu Xiu from time to time.
Seeing Geng Yun’s appearance, Ah Shu knew that he had come prepared today. Seeing this battle, it reminded her of Liu Xu’s death two years ago.
On that day, when the emperor was meeting all the generals, Zhang Hou ordered people to intoxicate him, excited each other with words, so that his words were not rude, and then used the name of throwing a cup to order dozens of forest troops who had already been in ambush into the hall, and killed him in full view of the eyes. .
However, Liu Yu was different from his brother. He was cautious, behaved in a moderate manner, and never made a rude remark. When he lost his sense of proportion, even if he was drunk, it would not be easy to make him lose his words. Moreover, the people present here today are all princes, and they have little to do with Geng Yun, so no one will listen to his words and risk angering Liu Yu.
Thinking of it this way, he should have already made a list of crimes.
Sure enough, about an hour later, many of the princes were half-drunk, and when they were about to enter the palace to sing and dance with the music, Geng Yun suddenly put down the wine glass, waved his hand to stop the music, and bowed his hands to the emperor, saying loudly: ” Your Majesty, I have something to tell your Majesty.”
Liu Xianwei’s small body trembled, and he hurriedly said, “Sima, please speak.”
Geng Yun then got up and went to the hall to worship: “Before the first emperor died, he entrusted the minister with the burden of assisting the young master, helping the Han family, and restoring the country’s prestige. Since this day, the minister has always kept it in mind, worked conscientiously, and dared not dare. Slightly neglected. In the past two years, I have been advising Your Majesty to stay close to the virtuous, and there are also traitors in this hall today, I hope Your Majesty will investigate them clearly and let the ministers get rid of them.”
Liu Xian’s face was pale, he got up from his seat and went down the steps, went to Geng Yun in person, bowed to help him up, and said, “Da Sima, please get up. I don’t know what Da Sima said is a traitor… Who is he?”
All the princes in the seat have returned to their places, and their eyes are looking at Liu Xiong, who is bowing his head and saying nothing.
A Shu, who was sitting on the same couch, was also beating a drum in her heart. She hid behind the case and grabbed Liu Yu’s sleeve with one hand.
Seeing that Geng Yun suddenly turned his head and pointed directly at Liu Yu, he shouted angrily, “It’s King Xiao Liu Yu! Liu Yu, as Liu Yu’s younger brother, has long been with him, and because of Liu Yu’s death that day, he felt resentment in his heart. Later, he settled in Xindu, and secretly colluded with bandits, cultivated his own army, and wanted to rebel. Recently, the battle between the Huns and Wuhuan had nothing to do with our dynasty, and Liu Yu took the initiative to ask for a battle. If the military power is expanded again, its wolf-child ambitions are very obvious, so please decree your majesty to kill him immediately!”
The voice fell in a loud voice, and everyone in the hall immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Xian was terrified, clearly standing in front of Geng Yun, who was kneeling on the ground, but his aura had already been overwhelmed by him, like dead leaves in autumn, and the wind was about to fall.
“Xiao, King Xiao…” He slowly looked at Liu Yu and stammered, “Do you have something to say?”
Liu Yuxian, who was always silent all the time, quietly shook A Shu’s sweaty hand under the case, motioning her to take it easy, then got up from the seat, and when he passed her, he stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, in a very strong way. A weak voice whispered in her ear: “Don’t panic, kid, just follow me when I call you to go.”
It seems to others that in the face of this accusation, Liu Yu did not rush to argue, but had the intention to comfort and persuade Zhao Ji first, but he didn’t notice. In the palm, hidden in the sleeve.
A Shu’s face was pale, but looking at his calm eyes, he became calm, straightened up, nodded and said “Okay”.
He smiled and rubbed her cheek lightly, then let go, walked to Liu Xian and Geng Yun, and bowed: “If you want to add a crime, why don’t you have no excuses? The minister will protect Jizhou that day, and even attack Bingzhou in the future. His Majesty’s orders, during which time they recruited soldiers and horses, rewarded and punished generals and soldiers, and even contacted tycoons, all responded to the court, regardless of their size. Moreover, His Majesty even sent Xie Jianjun to monitor the affairs of our army, which was listed by the Great Sima just now. Sin, why did Xie Jianjun not notice at all?”
“Let’s talk about the Wuhuan’s request for help, the main battle is for the stability of our great Han. The reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold does not need to be explained by the minister. The Wuhuan has been my strong Han and defended the border for many years. Without a helping hand, how can we know that the day when the Wuhuan was destroyed was not the time when the Huns harassed Youzhou again?”
Geng Yun was refuting Luo Zhizhi’s charges one by one. Liu Xian looked at him in fear, and said in a trembling voice, “Da Sima, did you misunderstand—”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted directly by Geng Yun: “This person is cunning and argumentative, His Majesty is young, I am afraid that he will be deceived, and the minister will immediately remove him for His Majesty!”
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the jade from his waist and threw it to the ground.
Hearing a loud bang, Peiyu split into two pieces, like an order, and then a long whistle was heard outside the hall.
In a short while, the hundreds of Yu Lin troops hiding under the high platform ran up in a neat pace and surrounded the people in the hall.
A sudden change occurred, and everyone in the hall was terrified and wanted to flee, but they were all forced back into the house by the Yulin army armed with knives and spears.
Amidst the chaos, A Shu quietly got up from her seat, trying to get closer to Liu Yu when no one was watching, but she took a few steps, but the hem of her clothes was grabbed by someone, and she could no longer move forward.
She was anxious and looked back in a hurry, only to see Liu An’s pale face, looking over with worry, in the midst of the noise, whispered to her: “Ashu, this place is dangerous, follow me and escape. disaster.”
Liu Yu, who was still standing still in the hall, suddenly laughed loudly and said, “It turns out that Da Sima made preparations and mobilized the Yulin in the palace just to kill me. I am really flattered.”
With his hand hidden in his sleeve, he quietly took out the hairpin that he had just received, and held it firmly, but out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of A Shu who was being held by Liu An, and his heart sank.
Geng Yun ignored it, only took two steps back, and rushed into the store Yu Lin Jun shouted: “Kill Liu Yu!”
After the words were finished, dozens of people rushed up, and even Zhang Hou, who had to step up and down the steps to take the young emperor away, was blocked from going and could not move forward for a while.
Ah Shu was also rushed away from the group of people. She couldn’t see the situation clearly, so she hurriedly pushed Liu An away, and said, “I’d like to trouble the prince to let me go.”
Liu An did not let go, and said anxiously: “Ashu, I have already checked it out. Liu Yu has not deployed any personnel in the palace at all. With such a large army, he will surely die. The Great Sima covets you for a long time, and once he kills Liu Yu, I will definitely take you into the palace, you can go with me now, I have a way to hide you and bring you back to Jizhou!”
Ah Shu was still looking at the place surrounded by the Yulin army, and when she heard that “no one has been deployed in the palace”, her heart was suddenly empty, goodbye, and if no reinforcements came, she panicked for a moment.
However, Liu Yu’s command suddenly echoed in her ears. Her slightly wandering eyes became firm again. She bit her lip and looked back. She said solemnly: “My husband is here, how can I leave with you? Please let the prince go.” Well, let’s go away.
Liu An still didn’t let it go, and was about to stun him and take him away, but suddenly he heard a loud shout from Liu Yu from the crowd: “The Son of Heaven is here, who dares to act rashly!”
It turned out that at the critical moment, Liu Yu suddenly burst into flames. He pulled Liu Xian, who was standing at a distance with one arm, and held it in front of him. He shook out the hairpin in his hand, and pointed the sharp end firmly at Liu Xian’s neck. hostage.
Liu Xian was pale, sweating like rain, shaking his lips and calling, “Stop it all!”
Yu Lin’s army was originally a pro-army guarding the emperor, and even if he colluded with Geng Yun, he still did not dare to disregard the safety of the emperor. Now that the emperor is being held hostage, these hundreds of people are stagnant, and they dare not act rashly. They only stare at Liu Xian and Liu Yu.
The sound of rushing and running disappeared for a while, and nearly a thousand people in the hall were crowded, but fell into silence.
