Chapter 370: The Gift of the Son of Heaven
"Oh? Aiqing has a candidate, you might as well talk about it. ”
Liu Hong was curious, wanting to hear who Lu Bu recommended.
Lu Bu didn't go around in circles, and said: "The minister thinks that Dong Zhuo, the general of Guangwu, may take on this position." ”
Since it has been decided that he will take Guanzhong in the future, he has to find a way to transfer Dong Zhuo out first, and now is the best time. As long as the Son of Heaven issued an edict, he didn't believe that Dong Zhuo would dare not come to Luoyang to take up his post.
What's more, the temptation of the position of Jiuqing, there are a few people in the world who can resist it.
Liu Hong had an impression of Dong Zhuo, but he didn't have a deep impression, and he couldn't figure out why Lu Bu would recommend such a person. Could it be that when the rebellion against Xiliang was suppressed, the two hooked up?
The Son of Heaven was suspicious, and Lu Bu said most of what he thought in his heart: "Your Majesty, the land of Guanzhong is very important, and the mountains and rivers are jammed. Hangu Kanto, the first to bear the brunt is Henan Yin, and the center of Henan Yin is Luoyang. In the past two years, the imperial court has repeatedly increased troops in Chang'an to fight against the Xiliang rebels, and the army stationed in Guanzhong has exceeded 100,000. ”
The meaning of Lu Bu's words is transparent, to put it bluntly, Dong Zhuo who is not worried about the heavy troops in hand.
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Liu Hong sat on the throne and fell into a long contemplation.
Lu Bu's analysis is correct, if there is a change in Guanzhong, the first to be affected is Luoyang in the east. This is also an important reason why when the rebels in Liangzhou came to attack, Liu Hong did not hesitate to increase the investment of troops and also held Chang'an.
But then again, what Lu Bu said just now was just his imagination. So far, Dong Zhuo has not done anything out of the ordinary, and there is no evidence to prove that Dong Zhuo has bad intentions.
If Dong Zhuo is a loyal minister, then wouldn't I become a faint king who kills loyalty?
But in case......
A chill rose in Liu Hong's eyes, and he knew very well what was at stake. Therefore, we have to watch out for points.
Suspiciousness is the imperial nature that the emperors of all dynasties have hidden in their bones.
"Father, send someone to invite General Huangfu."
The general Huangfu in the mouth of the Son of Heaven naturally refers to Huangfu Song.
Since the return of the Liangzhou counterinsurgency last year, the Huangfu Song court has been up and down, and now he is idle at home.
Liu Hong decided to summon Dong Zhuo to Luoyang to observe for a while, if Dong Zhuo really had different intentions, Liu Hong would not be merciful. If not, it will be the same if you put it back when the time comes.
As for the important task of guarding the pass, it will be handed over to Huangfu Song for the time being.
Liu Hong doesn't like Huangfu Song's uprightness when he speaks, after all, he is loyal to his ears, so he doesn't like to see him on weekdays. But he knew better than anyone else that if there was only one person who was a good general and a loyal minister today, then there was no doubt that he would be the emperor.
Huangfu Song will not be an official, but he was born in a family of generals, is good at leading troops to fight, and is absolutely loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Hong issued an edict and gave Huangfu Songzuo the title of general and ordered him to go to Chang'an to guard Dong Zhuo.
At this time, a famous little yellow door whispered to Zhang Rang outside the hall.
After listening to this, Zhang Rang walked up to the Son of Heaven and reported in a low voice.
Liu Hong listened to Zhang Rang's report, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand at Lu Bu: "Lu Qing, I will give you a day off today, go back to the house, I have prepared a big gift for you." ”
Gift?
Lu Bumian had doubts, why didn't he have a reward in the palace, instead of going back to the house by himself?
But in Luoyang City, the Son of Heaven has the final say in everything.
Lu Bu didn't know why, but he also bowed down and retired. He wanted to go back and see what the great gift of the Son of Heaven was.
…………
At the gate of the Lu Mansion, a wide two-wheeled carriage slowly stopped on the street in front of the door.
There were more than 50 guards on both sides of the frame, all of them strong, leading all northern horses.
"Madame, here we are." The Shen Kui man who led the team said respectfully towards the car.
Where had the servant who guarded the door seen such a posture, and hurriedly communicated with the housekeeper.
When the steward learned of this, he put down his chores and went out of the house.
In the past, the officials who came to give gifts were not respectful. Now the people in front of the door are not only fanfare, but the guards also have knives at their waists, don't they want to break into the house and make trouble?
The steward secretly pondered in his heart, but the number of courtesies on the surface was indispensable, and he stepped forward and bowed: "Dare to ask the noble man why he is here?" ”
"Where's the general?" Shen Kui glanced at the steward and asked out loud.
"The general went to the school camp and returned home at dusk. If you want to see the general, you can wait at the house, if you don't want to wait for a long time, you can also send an invitation, and the villain will pass it to the general for you. ”
The steward is worthy of being a good social hand, and he speaks beautifully. Even if the person who came was really bad, he was not afraid, and he didn't want to think about whose mansion this was.
Today's Lu Bu can be said to be a popular man in front of today's saints, and he has been named a military captain, and the officials in Luoyang City are not respectful.
If you dare to make trouble here, believe it or not, you will be arrested and imprisoned in a minute.
Cao Xing was bored in the mansion, and the servant who guarded the door said that someone had brought dozens of people to the gate of the mansion to make trouble, could he bear it?
Without saying a word, he immediately pulled Huang Zhong and Chen Wei, copied the guys, and went out to meet the enemy.
When he arrived at the door of the mansion and saw the person who came, Cao Xing, who was still murderous, was stunned for a moment, and then went up in surprise and punched the man, grinning and said: "Song Manzi, why are you!" ”
Huang Zhong, Chen Wei and the others naturally recognized Song Xian, nodded and said hello. The swordsmen around Song Xian were naturally the brothers in the wolf riding camp.
As for the identity of the people in the car, you don't have to guess to know that you can let Song Xian escort along the way, and the wolf cavalry camp will accompany you for thousands of miles. In the whole world, it is estimated that only the general's wife and daughter can enjoy such treatment.
Yan Wei walked out of the car and got out of the carriage with the little bell.
The two servant girls who served together were one on the left and one on the right, and one of the maidservants was holding a slightly lazy cat in her arms.
"I'll see Madame." Chen Wei, Huang Zhong and others bowed their heads and clenched their fists, bowing and saluting.
When the steward heard that this was the general's wife, he hurriedly followed to greet him. He knew that the general had married a relative, but he had never seen his wife, but he didn't expect to come to Luoyang thousands of miles away.
The general would be glad to find out.
The steward thought to himself.
Cao Xing, who had a stubborn temperament, stepped forward and shouted "sister-in-law" with a smile, his personality dictated, he was not as restrained as Chen Wei and Huang Zhong, stretched out his hands to the little guy, and praised vigorously: "Little bell, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become beautiful again!" Come, let Uncle Cao Xuan hug! ”
He has never given up the idea of raising Little Bell to be his daughter-in-law.
The little bell glanced at the strange uncle, hugged his mother's neck, and lay his little head on his shoulder.
Under the guidance of the steward, Yan Wei walked up the stone stairs, and when she reached the gate, she put the little guy down.
The first time I entered the house, this threshold had to be passed by the little guy himself.
