Liu Quan is the chief steward of the Liu Mansion in Taiyuan, and he is a well-known figure in Taiyuan City. When he walks on the street, even the barbarians respect him when they see him.

The old man of the Liu family was a high-ranking figure in the Khan's court. He was deeply trusted by the Great Khan and had made great contributions to the Great Khan. He was also one of the Great Khan's teachers. Even though he is now old and has returned to Taiyuan for retirement, he is still there.

He held the position of Marshal of the Han Army. Even if ordinary Hu people were unruly and unruly, who would dare to disrespect the Liu family? At least no one in Taiyuan City would dare.

Although the Liu family had taken refuge in Menghu very early, not everyone in the Liu family was willing, including Liu Quan and Butler Liu.

No, he is now listening to the storytelling in the backyard of Longchang Tea House. He is talking about the heroic deeds of Marshal Zhao of the Huaidong Rebel Army who resisted the Hu and saved the people. If the Han government or the Hu people knew about it, they would definitely be raided and seized.

Liu Quan was not afraid. The Han government in Taiyuan City belonged to the Liu family. Hu people generally didn't care about these things unless they bumped into him on the spot, but the teahouse also belonged to the Liu family, so Hu people would not come in casually if nothing happened.

After hearing the wonderful part, Liu Quan slapped his thigh, cursed the cruelty of the barbarians, the shamelessness of the surrender traitors, and applauded the bravery of the hero. He did not notice that the waiter beside him had changed.

Just as he was about to take a sip of tea to soothe his throat, he found that there was no water in the cup. He couldn't help but get angry. Just as he was about to get angry, he found that the person next to him was not the entourage he had brought with him, but another familiar person whom he had never expected. His own follower Liu

Master Zhenghe's second son, Liu Gong, who was sent out to protect him during the war, even though he wore a little makeup, he could still recognize his son at a glance.

Liu Quan was surprised and happy at the same time. He had been under the rule of the Hu people for so many years, and he was also a man who had seen the storm. He was very experienced.

He remained calm at the moment, just thumped his waist and said to the people next to him who were listening to the storytelling: "I'm a little tired today. I may have something to arrange. You guys just listen first. I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

In a hidden room in the tea house, Liu Quan took the letter that his son took out from the sole of his opened shoe. He didn't have time to say anything more. He just looked at his son with concern and didn't dare to take his son home, so he hurried out.

Returned to Liu Mansion.

Since leaving the Khan's court and returning to Taiyuan, Liu Jingye feels that he has become several years younger and his energy has become better and better.

Over the past ten years, whether he was fighting wits and courage with the Hu people or scheming with the Han people who had surrendered, he was exhausted both physically and mentally and was seriously overdrafted.

Fortunately, the newly appointed Great Khan believed in Sinology and was a generous man. When he was a teacher teaching Sinology, he had made suggestions and shed blood for the Great Khan. Only then could he have the status and trust he has today. Otherwise, he would have surrendered.

How could a Han Chinese, with his temperament as a Hu, allow him to control the military and political power in Taiyuan and surrounding areas? It was also because he was really tired of dealing with Dadu, and his health would not allow him to do so, otherwise his status would not end there.

Liu Zhenghe was his favorite son. He was resourceful and agile. He was one of the family successors he trained hard, and he was not pedantic.

After the Battle of Ruzhou, what Meng said was that Liu Zhenghe's entire army was destroyed and he died in the battle. There was indeed no news about his son after that, but Liu Jingye did not believe that Liu Zhenghe died, especially when most of the Han troops he brought with him were

They have been selected and trusted, and there are elite guards around them. Failure is a failure, and they will never be able to escape with their lives.

Of course, he never thought that Liu Zhenghe did not want to fight desperately to save his soldiers, and even surrendered on his own initiative. This was also the reason for Menghu's slow progress after entering the Central Plains. If he wanted to truly conquer the hearts of the Han people, Menghu still had a long way to go.

Walk.

Liu Jingye read his son's letter over and over again, and in the end he only read eight words.

"The dragon travels the world, and the best is as good as water!"

Liu Jingye knew the allusion and origin of these eight words, but judging from his son's letter, it was more than that. It not only pointed out the ambition of the new master his son had taken refuge in, but also explained his character.

It was not that Liu Jingye was unaware of the behavior of many aristocratic families making bets on both ends, and Liu Zhenghe was not ignorant of the importance. But he was still a little hesitant. The risk was high, but the opportunity did exist, and he had to think of a foolproof strategy.

Liu Zhengjun is Liu Zhenghe's third brother. Although his name has the word "military" in it, he is a standard scholar.

The literati of this era always had unusual feelings about family and country. They were the most opposed to surrendering to Menghu in the entire Liu family. Naturally, they did not have a good relationship with the head of the family, his father Liu Jingye. Quarrels and red faces were commonplace, and they often organized like-minded groups.

My friends held some anti-Hu gatherings, and Hu would definitely never be able to take down power. He wrote a lot of anti-poems, which brought a lot of trouble to Liu Jingye.

Liu Zhengjun didn't want to see his father, but he still had to make a living under the protection of the Liu family.

He once left home and went to the south, but when he came back with a bruised nose and face, Liu Zhengjun was very disappointed. He felt that the south was not a good place to fight against beauties.

Liu Jingye looked at his third son and felt a little want to laugh.

He still has some skills, he is not a bookworm, he is very good at overall planning of internal affairs, but he is too naive, and he is very jealous of evil and cannot see the situation clearly. He is from a big family, and he hates big families the most. He thinks that these big families are endless exploitation.

The people caused the national power of the Daning court to decline, making it difficult to fight against the Hu.

Liu Jingye felt that this son was suitable for the place and people in Ruzhou in terms of personality, character, ability and political tendency, but he would have to suffer a little.

"Zhengjun, don't you admire Zhao Wumu who fought against Hu the most? Now I'll give you a chance. In the future, you can organize your friends to hold an event to commemorate Zhao Wumu at the Longchang Tea House and write anti-Hu poems. You won't dare.

Bar?"

Liu Zhengjun is not stupid either: "What does father mean?"

"It's not interesting. I will bring people to arrest you that day and put you in jail. The barbarians will also come."

Liu Zhengjun was furious: "If father wants to kill me, don't bother, just give me a knife."

"Do you think I'm full? Just tell me whether you dare or not!"

Liu Zhengjun already understood that his father must have deep intentions, so just doing something for the family was in line with his own wishes.

"What am I afraid of? In the future, okay, even if that fake Han man Li Chongshan comes, I will still write a poem and curse him to death!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left.

"By the way, bring Liu Quan with you!" Liu Zhengjun staggered upon hearing this and almost fell to the ground.

Liu Jingye smiled. The plan was a bit rough, but with a foreigner's brain, it was basically enough.

I can't help but feel relieved to know that my smart son understands my thoughts.

The plan went very smoothly. Liu Zhengjun led a large group of people in the backyard of Longchang teahouse. They not only wrote anti-poems and sang anti-melody, but also called the prostitutes from the brothel to play the role of the barbarian Khan, humiliating the barbarians to the best of their ability, and not shying away from it.

Naturally, someone snitched him. When Liu Jingye heard this, was he okay with it? He naturally wanted to lead people to stop the arrest, and also brought Qian Hu, a barbarian with a surveillance function, straight to the Longchang teahouse, where he exterminated his relatives to show his loyalty.

Liu Jingye was happy, but Marshal Zahemi, the Hu people stationed in Hedong, was in trouble.

Zahmione knew who Liu Jingye was. The Great Khan admired and valued him very much, and his loyalty had been tested. As for his third son's trivial matter, it was easy to fool him. It's not like everyone didn't know who his third son was.

But Liu Jingye insisted on being serious this time. He was showing his loyalty. If someone spoke ill of Zahmi in front of the Great Khan, said that they were ostracizing the Han people and targeting Liu Jingye, etc., which went against the Great Khan's strategy, then his life would be difficult.

When they came to the prison, they arrested forty or fifty people, basically all of whom were scholars. They even wrote anti-poetry on the wall. Not to mention, Liu Zhengjun’s head and face were covered with scars from being whipped and abused. Zach

Min was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent, so he had no choice but to call the heads of hundreds of barbarian households who were in jail, beat him up, and walk away.

Hundreds of barbarian households were inexplicable and had no place to complain. It wasn't me. It was their father, Marshal Liu Du, who did it himself. I served him well with wine and meat, and even got spit on my face. What did I do wrong? Changsheng

Oh my God! What’s the point?

After doing such a treasonous thing, it was natural to be beheaded as a warning to others. Zahemin didn't bother to watch, so as not to irritate Liu Jingye, so he returned directly to his camp. He also had to think about how to report to the Khan to avoid implicating himself.
