Chapter 286: The Envoy (II)
Luoyang
"Hehe, interesting, really interesting. The envoy sent by Emperor Dacheng really behaved like this?" In a big mansion in Luoyang City, just came out of the most favored Xinna's concubine courtyard, Liu Yu's face was slightly ruddy, and as soon as he sat at the top of the hall, the little servant brought hot tea to him, and then the little servant cautiously retreated.
Liu Yu took two sips of the tea in his hand slowly, felt that his throat was moisturized, put the cup down, and asked the person in front of him after the set.
Standing in front of Liu Yu and replying, he is the big butler of the boat in this mansion, about forty years old, with a simple and kind appearance, but in his lowered eyes, there is a flash of essence, this person is the most important subordinate in Liu Yu's mansion, and he is very capable "At this time, I came to meet the master's family, and I have something important to return" There is no one else in the hall at this time except for a master and a servant.
The ordinary servants retreated to the outside of the hall and stood far away, lest they should hear something they would not hear.
"Back to the master's words, this matter is true. ”
At this time, the chief butler had already told the master all the news that had been spied in the past few days.
Seeing that the face of the master showed a smile that seemed to be smiling, the big housekeeper asked: "Master" The small ones have heard that although the prince is hanging them, there are many people behind him to stare at them, and he is extremely uneasy about these people, master, let's continue to send people to keep an eye on them, if the prince is aware of it..."
The next words, the chief butler did not say it directly, and the people who heard this already understood.
"That's it. When Liu Yu heard this, he thought for a while, only shook his head, and showed a faint smile, as if he was disdainful, and as if he had understood.
"What does this have to do with your master? I've seen and listened to this excitement, but it's just to relieve my boredom, and I'm really going to wade into troubled waters? ”
"It's still a long time ago. "Although it was reminded by the big butler," the big butler just smiled and complimented him, but he remembered something again, and took the opportunity to ask: "Then the master is not calculating-"
Liu Yu just glanced at him, and then said lightly: "I still need to teach you this? Although I look like a character, but in this Luoyang City, am I someone or powerful? ”
"It's good for the clan, it's not necessarily good for yourself, it's good for yourself" But if it's a careless, it may bring a big disaster to the clan. ”
"This matter" is my cousin's idea, it is not your turn to speak, and your lord and I have always been idle, with this beautiful house, there are a few more granges outside the city, I will be content!"
The big butler didn't dare to make a sound, just stood there and listened with his head down. Starting
Speaking of which, Liu Yu has a very deep relationship with Zheng Guogong of Luoyang, not to mention the same clan, it is still a cousin.
It's just that Liu Yu's father is a concubine, and there is a huge difference between his life experience and Zheng Guogong's father, and his father's generation is far away, and when it comes to their generation, they are even more estranged.
said that he was Zheng Guogong's cousin, but he never came out of office, just hung a six-grade idle job, twenty-five years old, and usually won idle.
However, everyone knows that this person is actually quite talented, it is said that the young man is already in the clan with the same name, but now he has joined the light and dust one by one, Liu Man has a conspiracy to seize power, and the heart of the city is vicious, how can Liu Yu show his edge again?
However, the Liu family is a big family, "in recent years, they have won a large piece of foundation, and the clansmen are not too incompetent, or the branches are too far away, and they can pass the well well."
Liu Yumingzhe has been protecting himself for many years, and he is used to eating and drinking.
The chief butler stood in front of the master, listening to the other party's seemingly false and true emotion, and didn't dare to answer a word, and heard Liu Yu say lightly: "What are you still doing standing here?" I didn't see that the master I said these words and was thirsty, and I didn't know how to refill the water for your master and me?"
It turned out that unconsciously, most of the glass of water had gone down, and Liu Yu put the cup heavily with some displeasure and reminded him lightly.
It was only then that the chief butler was pardoned, and he did not dare to defend himself.
After taking the hot cup, Liu Yu didn't care about the distraction of the big butler" continued: "The people sent by Emperor Dacheng are not simple, you said that even an envoy is so troublesome, if the Dacheng Dynasty really sends troops, what will happen?"
The cold sweat on the forehead of the big butler came out again at this time, and it was not easy to accept this.
"Master" I don't know much about this matter, but I think that this Luoyang is not an ordinary city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this foundation is stable!"
Liu Yu smiled: "Haha, what you said is right, Luoyang is extraordinary, don't be afraid, Emperor Dacheng sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender this time, and there will be no return." ”
The chief butler wandered and asked, "The envoy sent by Emperor Dacheng is here to persuade him to surrender?"
"What do you think you're here to do?" said Yu with a faint disdain: "Could it be that it is not possible to return in reverse?"
"My lord has always been wise, and there must be a solution. The butler said busily.
Liu Yu stood up, facing the outside of the hall, with a vague expression: "I am a descendant of the Liu family, how can the Liu family have a way to live?"
"It's just that I'm shallow, and I really can't think of a good idea for a while!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yu sneered in his heart, waved his hand, and asked the housekeeper to retreat, but his eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
This big butler, do you really think he doesn't know?
Hmph, the Dacheng Dynasty has accounted for half of the Fengtian, and the five counties of Chongzhou have sent people to see Dacheng, hinting that Yi Zhi surrendered, and this bit of strength of his cousin is really an egg
Zheng Guogong said that he was sick and put the emperor's envoy in the hotel and ignored it, which was the biggest recklessness, and this alone could be a big disaster.
If you still think of fighting each other, I am afraid that the foundation will not only collapse in the past few years, but also affect the Liu family!
However, my cousin has always been suspicious, and if he makes a mistake, he is afraid that he will be killed first.
This and the words that are half resentful and reveal their hearts can barely coax the cousin. However, as long as this period of time has passed, even if he has been watched, there are still people who can spread their minds and pass on information.
Don't blame me, this is for the sake of the clan, and I can't accompany you to the end!
The same surname is Liu, and Liu Yu's gloomy mood is not in line, and the emperor's envoy Liu Chao is really in a good mood now.
Sitting in the small hua hall in his own courtyard of the hotel, his fingers recorded fruits, one by one to his mouth, he has been in Luoyang for the past few days, as if he doesn't know how much trouble he has brought to Luoyang officials in this way, he has a very comfortable life.
For him, Liu Man is a clown, saying that Jinling's 300,000 troops are reorganized and go north at any time, no matter how they delay, plan, and monitor, it is all funny.
Hmph, I started to think that Zheng Guogong could get this inheritance, and he must have something extraordinary, but now I look at it, I am just a villain who is good at intrigue and trickery, usurping power and usurping Luoyang with luck.
If you are in the chaos of the princes, you may still have some luck, but now in the face of the great master, you are a clown!
Thinking of this, Liu Chao rarely didn't go out and continued to walk around the streets of Luoyang, eating fruit and reading books in the room.
This is normal, and when you go out every day, you will be tired.
The spies and officials who had been staring at him finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that this uncle had finally stopped.
Liu Chao read most of the scroll in his hand, as if he was sleepy, and asked the little guy in Luoyang Hotel to go to the bedroom to make a bed, and he paced in slowly.
It wasn't until he was inside that a smile appeared on his lips.
"How are things going?" Liu Chao sat on the collapse and asked lightly.
The little maid made the bed on the side, straightened the quilt, and whispered: "Please rest assured, the villain has passed on the instructions"
"This is natural, their eyes are all staring at Lord Ben, how can they notice you? Hehe, after all, they have done the things that His Majesty has explained, and it is not in vain to be busy. ”
It turned out that the special envoys who came to Luoyang also had a structural mission in this mission.
While giving Luoyang some sense of crisis, it is necessary to stir up contradictions between various forces in Luoyang, which is what they have to do extra.
Even if Zheng Guogong refuses to submit to Dacheng, after the special envoy leaves, the hearts of the people in Luoyang will definitely be a little scattered, and it is even better to be able to use the situation to coerce Zheng Guogong to return to obedience.
However, it was not the people in the envoy corps who were active, but the people who were originally stationed in Luoyang.
Liu Chao estimated that in a day or two, the dark tide in the city would come to the table.
He wanted to see how this Zheng Guogong reacted after knowing that all roads were quiet.
Trying to test all kinds of bottom lines is the mission of the messenger group.
"Go down, don't contact me, I'll continue to go out tomorrow, this time to a few streets in Beicheng!"
Most of the people who live in Beicheng are the people, the pawns, and some time ago, most of them were frequented by the big clans, and this time they changed places to go around.
When the little servant heard the advice, he immediately answered the promise, made the bed, and withdrew.
It is said that the small servants in the hotel are all in turn, which is exactly what is in line with the heart, there was no matter of the envoy group in the first place, and there were thirteen divisions to sit in the town before the envoy officially came.
Now it's just a matter of taking the lead.
As for the bright side, why prepare in advance?
Get up early tomorrow morning, say to the officials here, just take a few entourages and personal soldiers out, Liu Chao thought so, lying down with his hands on the pillow, half-squinting his eyes to rest.
For his own safety, he is still very relieved, he is a special envoy, as long as Liu Man has not gone crazy, he will not kill himself, killing the envoy is equivalent to directly slapping the emperor, then once he fails, it is natural for him to die and destroy the clan.
Early the next morning, when the sun was rising, Liu Chao took a carriage and left the hotel again.
"The envoy is out again?" asked the official in charge of the news.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the official in charge squinted slightly: "This time I went to Beicheng?
"No"
