Chapter 132: Epilogue (Epilogue)
Liu Yu's reasoning sounds incomprehensible, but in fact, it is easy to understand if you put yourself in their shoes.
Since the death of the founding Emperor Wu, the Great Jin Dynasty has never been stable for a day. In order to control His Majesty the Emperor with intellectual defects in his hands and seize the supreme authority of the dynasty, relatives, ministers, empresses, and clans attacked and killed each other, causing a series of wars involving more than half of the world and hundreds of thousands of people, and brutally destroying the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. In this process, right and wrong have long been entangled, and no one can understand. And the countless people involved in it are for fame and fortune, for the sake of justice, and for the sake of their lives...... There are all kinds of things, and they can't be said clearly. In the end, aren't people with different goals all fluttering in the same pool of turbid sewage?
Since the one who is high up and thinks he is the victor may not be able to be beheaded at any time; Then, the so-called loser can face the failure calmly and naturally take on a new master. Since you are in the muddy water, what is the point of the ups and downs for a while? What are those sycophants, refuge, betrayal, and betrayal? After the change of the top three or five times, everyone is a generation of the Qin and Twilight Chu, and everyone is dark and transparent from the inside to the outside, and there is no difference.
Just like Liu Yu and Liu Kun brothers, although they have traveled to the high gate and have many masters, once they are under the command of the king of the East China Sea, they immediately become important ministers by virtue of the military and political chief. Needless to say, Liu Kun is the head of the shogunate, and in many cases he can even directly discuss and decide the major policies of the shogunate with the king of the East China Sea, which shows that he has become one of the core figures.
But as Liu Yu said, after the death of Emperor Hui and the withering of the kings, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to win the title, and the tragic political struggle of more than ten years has finally come to an end. The current situation is in the eyes of all smart people: the people who can win the final victory have a clear karma, or Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea who holds the authority of the world, or the former king of Yuzhang who is trying to cheer up, and the current majesty Sima Chi, the two must be one of them. Because of this, the king and the emperor of the East China Sea are either/or, and they are like ice and coal. Soon after he ascended the throne, he coerced the forces of the government and the opposition to put pressure on the king of the East China Sea, forcing the king of the East China Sea to kill Zhuge Mei, the emperor who was his own powerful henchman and tried to support the king of Qinghe. This white-knuckle battle that made the King of the East China Sea angry was enough to prove that the struggle between the two families was bound to be life-and-death.
The relative emperor gathered his ministers in the East Hall to raise people's hopes, trying to suppress the King of the East China Sea in the court. On the one hand, the king of the East China Sea distributed his younger brothers to occupy important military towns such as Chang'an, Yecheng, and Xiangyang, and on the other hand, he successively dispatched local officials from the center to Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou and other places to seize the actual military power to resist. After these Fang Town officials took office, they all turned a blind eye to Luoyang, and looked forward to the king of the East China Sea. Under their leadership, even the allies of the East China Sea King, such as Youzhou Wang Jun and Yanzhou Gou Xi, had to make a gesture of obedience.
This is the case in officialdom from ancient times to the present, those who are in a position of higher positions look at people, and they look at attitudes, tendencies, and sides. If you stand in line correctly, you will have a thousand evil deeds, which can be gently erased with a raise of your hand; And if the team is not correct, even if the members of Fang Zhen and the central ministers are important, they will inevitably end up in disrepute. Such as Wang Jun and Gou Xi are all veterans who are proficient in officialdom and will not make mistakes at this critical moment.
For a time, the post man leading to Luoyang was scarce, the post man had nothing to do, and the official road leading to Xuchang was full of traffic, and the messengers came and went, which was magnificent. Regardless of what these envoys really thought in their hearts, this kind of scene itself did form a strong pressure on the Luoyang Zhugong Gong.
The problem is that when the towns are competing for flattery, this is not the case with Daishijun, and its behavior is as striking as the bare reef after the tide has receded.
Soon after the Battle of Jinyang, Lu Yao and Lu Daoming were promoted to the rank of General Yingyang and Daijun Taishou with the power of the King of the East China Sea. Although this move was intentionally or unintentionally promoted by the county lord, it was also one of the many deployments of the East Sea King, which not only slightly weakened the merger states that had skyrocketed in strength, but also made up for the gap between the merger states and Youzhou on the northern defense line, which was wonderful. But after Lu Yao accepted the appointment, half a year passed from summer to autumn, first led his generals to sweep the land first, and then sent troops to fight a vicious battle with the Youzhou army, desperately expanding his own power; During this period, there was never a single envoy and the king of the East China Sea, nor did he send a word to the Luoyang court. This time, how can Liu Yu rest assured? The King of the East China Sea himself must have considered that it might be too rash to easily grant full military and political power to a frontier state to a person whose political attitude is far from clear, right?
The county lord of Jingling was speechless for a while.
In the past, when she failed to recruit Lu Yao in Taihang Mountain, she did experience the awe-inspiring spirit in Lu Yao's heart. But now that Lu Yao has his own troops, he neither loses his sincerity to the imperial court, nor does he show his deference to the king of the East China Sea, if he still uses the style of a scholar to explain this move...... It's a bit far-fetched. You can't say that this person is a madman like You Heng, who deliberately isolates himself from the emperor and the king of the East China Sea, right? There is no doubt that this move is really rebellious, there is a suspicion of waiting for the situation and waiting for the price to sell, and there is even a suspicion of provoking the imperial court and the king of the East China Sea. Liu Yu only said in front of the county lord, "It is between the two males", which is really polite.
The county master's slender and soft eyes were lowered, and he unconsciously paced in front of Liu Yu for two times.
Liu Yugu was alone, but the county lord had many maids and servants who served with him. These attendants followed her step by step, and the light sound of their skirts and brushes immediately blocked the entire compound road. The officials who originally came and went to Fudao visited from a distance, and they all had vision, and they suddenly found that the faces of the county lord and Liu Yu were not so pleasant, so they chose to take a detour from the other side, even if they had to walk nearly a mile more.
The county lord sighed, for some reason, his thoughts fluttered, and he remembered the situation when he met Lu Yao in Yecheng.
Yes, Liu Yu's judgment should not be wrong. Compared to the reckless and down-and-out military master in Taihang Mountain, Lu Yao has changed now, becoming more dangerous and more aggressive. Even in front of the noble county lord, the strong confidence in his eyes did not shrink in the slightest.
Such a strong and heroic spirit is something that the county lord of Jingling has never come into contact with, and compared to it, the beautiful man of the Hedong Wei clan is as weak as an ant, which is prohibitively annoying. That's why the county lord can't help but want to get close to and understand, and let himself fall into the feelings that ordinary girls have. In Yecheng, the county lord never asked about Liu Yu's concerns at all, because she knew very well that Lu Yao, as a self-defeating general, had gathered strength by virtue of countless bloody battles, and had no intention of going to sycophants at all.
But Liu Yu reminded her slightly, and she immediately returned to the normal state of being shrewd and capable; The vision and judgment honed over the years immediately told her that the powerful confidence exuded by Lu Yao could turn into a surging and uncontrollable ambition at any moment.
Can someone who is too heroic and strong be a good match for himself? Can it become the hegemonic need of the East Sea King? The lord of Jingling County asked himself, and it was difficult to come to a conclusion for a while.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, almost half an hour had passed since Liu Yu got off his ox cart. After all, the identity of the noble daughter of the clan is extraordinary, and if the county lord does not respond, it is inconvenient for Liu Yu to leave. Although his original intention was to ask the king of the East China Sea to discuss the battle situation in the Central Plains, rather than to entangle with the county lord for Youzhou; But he didn't show the slightest impatience, and always bowed his head slightly, waiting silently on the side. Until the weak body was difficult to support and his legs were even more sore and unbearable, he did not change his serene state, but just reached out a little and helped the trunk to borrow a little strength.
After a long time, the county lord of Jingling County smiled as if he had just found out that Liu Yu was here: "Patronizing and calculating private affairs, I actually delayed Mr.'s important military affairs!" Mr. Qingsun, please go to yourself, and it will be okay to discuss the matter of Youzhou later. ”
"It's fine." Liu Yu saluted respectfully, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave. Although his posture is still meticulous, his movements seem a little stiff.
The county lord's henchman and maid, Ah Jue, stood at the back, and her actions were as uniform as the other female attendants. The delicate makeup and ornaments characteristic of the court ladies concealed her age, making this young girl look a little old. Seeing Liu Yu's back disappear into the main entrance of the apse of Gyeongbok Palace, she stepped forward and asked softly, "County Lord?" ”
"According to him, he is very fanciful...... A mere foreign minister dared to meddle in the emperor's family affairs, and he would suffer some hardships first and then talk about the rest! The county lord of Jingling sneered.
Seeing that the county lord was unhappy, the surrounding women immediately bowed their heads together, and no one dared to answer.
The county lord of Jingling looked at these female officials with disdain, and then looked at the fearful officials who were detouring the road in the distance, and suddenly patted Ah Jue's shoulder with the arrogance of a man, as if the "Pei Langjun" appeared again: "Ah Jue, I can't pull away recently." You go to Daijun for me and pass on a message! ”
"Huh? What the? Ah Jue exclaimed, and her face was pale. I don't know if it was because I was beaten to the sore spot, or because I was frightened by the words of the county lord.
When he came back to his senses, he saw the county lord holding his chest with one hand and his chin with the other, revealing a thoughtful look, and continued to instruct: "Now that the road is not quiet, it is better to prepare a little and set off in five days!" Well, by the way, I will send Wang De with a team of cavalry to protect you! ”
"Yes...... It's ......" Ah Jue leaned over and bowed, suddenly feeling a little dizzy.
