Luoyang, Zheng Guogong's Mansion

Luoyang has long had a palace, but unfortunately it was burned down, in the south of Luoyang City, in a place with the best feng shui, there is a mansion, the front and back sides occupy quite a wide area, hope that the scale can be compared with the palace, but after all, it is limited by the specifications, just a national mansion.

In Luoyang, Zheng Guogong is the master, and in front of the door of the Guogong Mansion, the guards are tight, and ordinary people are difficult to rely on his door

In the Guogong Mansion, there are countless courtyards in the front and back, and Zheng Guogong Liu Man lives in a courtyard in the back:

Among the rows of houses in the courtyard, the decoration is the most elegant, not Zheng Guogong's bedroom, but the study that he often goes to on weekdays:

This is Liu Man's forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter except him and his people on weekdays:

There are only a lot of personal soldiers guarding outside, and if someone trespasses here, they will often be severely punished, even if it is Liu Man's doting concubine.

There was a concubine of Liu Man before, who was very doted on in front of Liu Man, and the house was very dignified, not to mention another concubine, it was Liu Man's main room, and he had to avoid his edge for a while.

But this woman did not have much knowledge, and was provoked by others, and broke into the study, Liu Man was immediately furious, and ordered his own soldiers to be cut and killed on the spot, and then the concubine begged hard to save a life.

However, this humiliation has cost people's lives, and soon after the concubine returned, she died of depression.

Since then, even Liu Man's children of tomorrow have walked around the study without being called

When someone brought an official to the backyard, he watched the official enter the study of the Duke of Guo, and the personal soldiers who were guarding outside couldn't help but play twelve points and guard carefully.

As soon as the man entered, a long time passed.

At this time, it was approaching evening, the sunset was red, the sunset was gradually setting, and it was late to see that the sky was falling, and there was silence outside the study, although there were many pro-soldiers standing here, but no one dared to say anything.

In Zheng Guogong's study, there was a sudden crisp sound, as if some tool had fallen to the ground.

The soldiers outside glanced at each other, and two of them hurriedly ran over, knocked on the door outside, and asked in a loud voice: "Guogong, Guogong!!"

Soon a man's voice came from inside: "Leave without your business!"

“...... Listening to the voice inside, it was the familiar voice of Zheng Guogong, and there was a faint anger in the voice, and the soldiers did not dare to step forward, so they hurriedly retreated to their original positions and continued to stand guard.

In the study, on the originally spacious and tidy ground, it was a mess at this time.

Two glass bottles studded with precious stones were thrown to the ground, and the emeralds and rubies were destroyed by the falls, and they fell all over the ground

Kneeling on the ground, the middle-aged official, his face was pale, and he bowed and said: "The minister is guilty, and the minister is half-,,

Sitting on the high chair was Zheng Guogong Liu Man, his face was blue at this time, not to mention the difficult thinking these days is the news he heard today, which made him very angry, and the black around his eyes made him look a little more gloomy than before.

However, Liu Manzhong was not an ordinary person after all, he woke up from his anger with a heavy breath, and asked for a long time: "Jinling has indeed raised troops?"

,,It is our intelligence that this month, 20,000 people have been transferred to the five counties of Chongzhou to carry out a frontal visit, and Jinling has gathered another 200,000 troops, all of whom are preparing armor and may go north at any time.

Liu Man listened to the son and said gloomily: "What about the news from Luoyang?"

Speaking of which, this matter is incompetent, but it can be seen that Jinling has long been a secret spy in Luoyang, and the news and intentions of the envoy a few days ago have spread all over the city within two or three days, and everyone knows about it, so it can be seen that it has been planned for a long time. ，，

,,I also ask the prince to give the minister a period of time, and the minister will definitely do a good thorough investigation to find out the source!

Liu Man's face was gloomy, and he could almost drip water, and he didn't even look at the official, but said coldly: "When you encounter this, how do you want me to calm my anger?"

,,Hmph, on the one hand, prepare the armor, on the other hand, send envoys to delay, and the city is full of storms!"

This is forcing him to appear!

Although Liu Man has some states for his own use, he is extraordinary in terms of talent, otherwise he will not be able to govern the prosperity of Luoyang, let alone have the strength to attack Chongzhou, which has the family foundation saved by Liu Man's father, but if Liu Man has no ability, this family background is not enough to support this character.

Seeing that Zheng Guogong's anger was unabated, the middle-aged official said: "Guogong, whether this matter is related to the special envoy or not, this public opinion in the city is very unfortunate to Guogong, and I ask Guogong to decide." ，，

,, It's this ding, it's reasonable, Liu Man's face eased a little at this time

When I found out about this, I was very angry.

is not only Wang Hongyi's conspiracy, but also prepared the army in a dignified manner, and sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and the first brother has a famous appearance of holding an artifact.

Jia Duo is disappointed in the hearts of Luoyang people:

Luoyang City, its own national capital, has been in business for five years

But there are not a few people with the surname of Bai Yan in the city, I believe that they can win, either they will be subordinated to Emperor Dacheng, or they will be subdued by the Hu people, and even the people of Luoyang think so, why should they fight the world?

Although Liu Man usurped power and ascended to the throne, after taking office as the Duke of Zheng Guo, he twice exempted money and grain to help the victims of the disaster areas in Luoyang and nearby counties, spending 200,000 silver

Originally, Liu Man had reason to believe that his reputation among the surnames had surpassed the previous ones, and he had united people's hearts.

After a few years of bumper harvest, the grain is also abundant, I thought that the soldiers were good enough to have enough food, and Luoyang was excellent in governance, and with the support of hundreds of surnames, he sent troops to Chongzhou and won one after another, and he was able to become a dragon.

The gap between himself and Wang Hongyi is just bad luck, he started too late, everything must be done by himself, how can Wang Hongyi succeed to the throne at the age of seventeen and show his ambitions quickly?

Even if you only inherit one county, it is still a foundation, so you will be slow and unable to catch up step by step

As long as Luoyang supports it, he also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he relies on the danger of the tiger prison, so he may not succeed in the future.

Now this Luoyang discussion, but this psychology has hit a crack, making him feel hated in his heart, this is not talent, just luck

It's just that the more I think about it, the more resentful I feel in my heart.

After walking a few steps, Liu Man's face became even more pale, and he sneered and said, "Since you are forced to see me like this, let Liu Chao come to see me on the next day!"

On April 20, it was sunny, and Liu Chao finally saw Zheng Guogong in Luoyang City.

In the council hall of Zheng Guogong's mansion, there are two rows of civil and military officials on the left and right, well-dressed, all of whom are officials with identity and status in front of Zheng Guogong.

Sitting in the middle, wearing a crown dress of the prince of the country, thirty years old, he still looks a little heroic, only a pair of eagle eyes, staring at himself without blinking, Liu Chao has a number in his heart.

With such an assessment in his heart, Liu Chao arched his hand: "Liu Chao has seen Zheng Guogong. ”

Seeing Zheng Guogong, why don't you worship ,, someone scolded.

Liu Chao smiled slightly, his back was very straight, and he said loudly: "This official is an official of the Ministry of Rites of Emperor Dacheng, a special envoy of the Qin Order, this time I came to represent Emperor Dacheng, who are you who dare to ask me to bow down?"

As he spoke, he swept over everyone, and even forced Liu Man to look.

Liu Man opened his mouth at this time and said to the speaker, "Don't retreat!" ...... Promise. The officer hurriedly retreated.

,, I don't know what the envoy is coming, what does it mean?" Liu Man suppressed his anger and asked.

,, The emperor sent the ministers to come, and ordered Zheng Guogong to enter the court and Jin to see. Liu Chao glanced at it and said it openly.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he heard Liu Chao's naked oppression on the spot, Liu Man's face was still white and blue.

And the left and right civil and military, their faces changed greatly, and their eyes showed a chill.

Liu Chao was not afraid at all, and stood very freely.

As early as a few days ago, Liu Man should have known his intentions, and when he summoned himself today, it was nothing more than a decision, he wanted to see what decision this Zheng Guo Guild made.

However, judging from the situation just now when someone tried to give himself a dismissal, this Zheng Guogong is afraid that he is going to make an improper decision.

Sure enough, after thinking about it, Zheng Guogong refused the envoy's request. ”...... , Luoyang and Jinling are both ancient cities of several dynasties, but Luoyang is the foundation of the Liu family, and the Duke of China is already Xi, and he has psped the customs of Luoyang, I am afraid that he is not used to Jinling. Emperor Dacheng's hospitality, the country's public heart received, and asked Lord Liu to express his gratitude to Emperor Dacheng on behalf of the country's father, Liu Man said lightly.

This remark is actually a rejection of Yihe Ming.

Liu Man's meaning has been hinted at very clearly, I have stayed well in Luoyang, but I don't want to move my place anymore, let alone surrender to others, this is the land of my Liu family, you Dacheng Emperor, don't beat my Luoyang idea.

Liu Chao listened below, sneered in his heart, with a smile on his face, and saluted and said: "Zheng Guo's official position has been decided like this, then I will return to the emperor like this." ”

I don't even want to say more.

In the mind of the Liu Dynasty, according to the tradition of Emperor Dacheng, if Liu Man was demoted, even if he did not have the official title of Zheng Guogong, it was possible to get a Marquis Zheng.

Now if he refuses the emperor's offer, he is a dead man.

Even if you don't die, according to Dacheng's habits and the emperor's sexual affection, you will be able to retire for a lifetime in the future!

If this is the case, why bother to talk about people who now seem to be noble, but are actually muddy?

Liu Chao's reaction was a surprise to the monarchs and ministers in the palace, and Liu Man immediately felt a chill coming up, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into anger again.

Furious to the heart, he almost wanted to call his own soldiers to pull out the hateful envoy and behead him.

But he still endured it stubbornly, and said: "The Dacheng envoy will go down first, and at noon will receive the wind and feast for the adults." ”

Liu Man smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "Yes!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, with long sleeves fluttering, and his bearing was free and easy, but he looked at the palace full of civil and military affairs, and his eyes were complicated, this is the wind of a big country with a big country as the rear platform!
