Chapter 1499 Liu Yu: Meng De is your time to perform
The Eastern Wu experienced the assassination of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. After Sima Yi and Pang Tong fiercely attacked the Eastern Wu, they found out that Liu Yu might have been in charge of the imperial army, and people were in panic.
Lu Su and Lu Xun had to start preparing for some related responses.
After Sima Yi and Pang Tong received similar news, they became worried at the same time.
So the two met together and discussed Liu Yu's possible imperial command in person.
"Zhongda, do you think His Majesty will be the emperor personally as the rumor says?" Pang Tong said with some concern.
Sima Yi said bluntly: "It's not possible. It's certainly possible! Shiyuan, you know. After taking over Yizhou, the court was in short supply in terms of military strength, money and food. Otherwise, we would not have allowed us to join forces to plan to destroy Sun Ce in Changsha. Unfortunately, we both failed. After Sun Ce's strength increased greatly, he took advantage of the emptiness of the court to be the official, which forced the court to make some responses. If it were someone else, he might have compromised against Sun Ce. But think about it, who is Your Majesty? He would not let Sun Ce succeed. The imperial expedition is the best way to destroy the Eastern Wu at present."
"Well! After hearing what you said, I also think that Your Majesty will take action again." Pang Tong thought in his heart.
Sima Yi said with depression on his face, "However, it is better for Your Majesty to personally lead the expedition. He can gather all the power of the world to destroy the Eastern Wu. However, if there is no delay, or if there is any change, the Eastern Wu will become a major concern of the court and will not be able to destroy it within the next ten years."
Sima Yi and Pang Tong had no idea how many troops and food can be gathered to attack the Eastern Wu now. The ground of the court was too large. The troops on the border could not be moved. The garrison on the ground was also necessary. The newly occupied Yizhou had not been completely stabilized, and the Southern Barbarians were very dishonest and could not let some checks and balances. In this way, if they were distributed little by little, the Shenwu court could use very few troops.
Now is the season when there is no connection between the green and yellow, so how much food and grass are available?
After all the calculations, only Liu Yuyu personally led the army to boost morale with his status as the emperor and defeated the Eastern Wu in one fell swoop.
"I understand! It seems that the incident of Taiwei Cao being taken to the jail before should be related to His Majesty's desire to command the imperial throne in person." Pang Tong also thought of something.
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Indeed! The Taiwei thought a lot. As long as you wait a few more years, the court will be able to take down the Eastern Wu. But His Majesty was too anxious and could not bear Sun Ce's provocation. I don't know if it was a blessing or a disaster."
The two of them also understood that Cao Cao was taken to the Heavenly Prison, which was definitely not as simple as forcing a forced purchase or bullying others by relying on their power.
As soon as the news of Liu Yu's personal expedition spread, Sima Yi and Pang Tong all understood.
In fact, when Sima Yi and Pang Tong and Eastern Wu received Liu Yu's attempt to command the emperor in person, the entire Han Dynasty had already received this news.
In the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty, there have been many times of persuasion in the court.
Liu Yu asked the "Sanmen" to spread the imperial army, and Liu Yu did not express any order or verbally. However, this could not stop the loyalty of the ministers of the Shenwu court. To be precise, it was an opportunity to express loyalty.
Qingliu officials led by Ni Heng took the lead in admonition to Liu Yu.
Ni Heng wrote a ten thousand words book, which elaborated on the difficulty of the court and the dangers of the imperial army's personal expedition. I hope Liu Yu can think twice.
The wise Emperor Shenwu Liu Yu kept it and refused to send it.
Stay here and don’t send it? Isn’t this just a disguised default?
Ni Heng and other Qingliu officials received a reply and kept submitting memorials to Liu Yu in the morning court.
Liu Yu on the imperial throne looked smiling, as if he was very pleased with the loyalty of Ni Heng and others. However, in fact, Liu Yu scolded Ni Heng and others half to death in his heart.
There is only one Eastern Wu left in the world to fight. These people don’t want Liu Yu to have fun, which really disappoints Liu Yu. However, Liu Yu had discussed with the Military Affairs Office before, and this time he said that he was the commander-in-chief. In fact, Liu Yu was still in the palace.
When the big guys Chen Gong, Ju Su, Tian Feng and others saw this scene, they were really relieved from the bottom of their hearts. The last time Liu Yu wanted to personally enlist in Yizhou, the entire court was opposed by them. After Liu Yu insisted on insisting, he succeeded in the end.
Chen Gong and others felt a sense of powerlessness.
The situation is different now. Liu Yu had not said that he would lead the army in person, but just spread some news, and the ministers in the court came out to object. This is the character that the Han ministers should have.
Although this kind of character came a little late, it still made Chen Gong and the others happy.
Chen Gong and others believed that with the assistance of the nobles in the court, the Han Dynasty would definitely move towards a better tomorrow.
After listening to the advice of all the Qingliu officials, Liu Yu smiled and said, "You are loyal and commendable. I understand! If there is nothing to do, let's leave the court."
During the entire court discussion, Liu Yu said this, and then left without caring about the reactions of others.
This style makes countless officials feel unsure. What exactly does Liu Yu want to do?
Ni Heng, the most powerful troll, relied on his power to enter the palace, so he asked Liu Yu to see him several times and spitted a lot of saliva. Liu Yu still smiled and couldn't tell any thoughts at all.
Ni Heng really has no choice for Liu Yu like this.
The civil and military officials of the court learned from some channels that Cao Cao was suppressed from death to death, which was against Liu Yu's case about the imperial commander's personal expedition, which made Liu Yu unhappy.
Many officials expressed silence to Taiwei Cao. It was really unfortunate to meet such an emperor.
Many officials who wanted to show their loyalty and advised them backed down.
Everyone knows that Taiwei Cao has a close relationship with His Majesty today, and even he can't tell the emperor. What can they do? Besides, Taiwei Cao angered His Majesty and was taken to death. Compared to Cao Cao, they are the existence of Xiaoxiami. Will the current Majesty be pushed out and chopped out by His Majesty today in anger?
This is very likely.
These days, Liu Yu has looked smiling. God knows if he is keeping everyone on the blacklist.
The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Many officials plan to let others be the first to be the first, and they watch from behind, wait for the opportunity to pick peaches afterwards.
The Qingliu officials did not stop admonishing.
For them, Your Majesty is really a rare wise ruler in the ages. Before, the imperial guards personally fought for Yizhou, which was the time when the imperial court had a strong strength and the most chance of winning. They believed that Liu Yu would not be in any danger so they did not advise him. Qingliu was not a fool, and he did not advise him in everything.
But this time it was different. All the civil and military officials in the court knew that the court was in trouble now, the treasury was empty, the soldiers were exhausted, and the morale was low. If this situation happened again, Liu Yu would be in danger.
If Liu Yu happens to the Han Dynasty, if there is no wise king, it will be a huge sin for Qingliu.
As for whether they would be taken to death by Liu Yu, it doesn't matter whether the Qingliu officials were. The great Han Taiwei and the military ministers were taken to death by. Isn't they being taken to death by following the footsteps of Taiwei Cao? If Liu Yu was furious, they would be happy to push them out to behead their heads. Isn't life just for fame and fortune? Once you become an official, you have power, and the last thing you have left is a fame. For thousands of years in China, how many emperors and officials have been there in the middle, but how many officials have left their names in history books?
In order to leave a name in history, these Qingliu officials have been fighting hard.
With the efforts of these Qingliu officials, the court in Luoyang became very lively.
For the first time, Liu Yu found that she was a little afraid of these Qingliu officials. She went to court every day and repeated their theories like a repeater. She had to listen to these people's repeated theories every day. Liu Yu had the act of turning over the table.
Fortunately, Liu Yu was able to hold back his good qualities.
While holding back the outbreak, Liu Yu glared at Chen Gong, Ju Su and other military ministers with vicious eyes. He asked their Military Affairs Office, Cao Cao's aides Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others to prepare for the destruction of Eastern Wu. So much time has passed, and the "Sanmen" have plotted against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. They are not ready yet. This efficiency is not what Liu Yu wants.
In fact, Liu Yu blamed the Military Affairs Office and Xun Yu and others in the wrong way.
As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will go first. It is also a very laborious task to allocate troops. Food and grass are the top priority. Apart from the necessary expenses and the money and food left to deal with emergencies, the national treasury has been difficult to take out enough food and grass to support a war. Now most of the food and grass are allocated by the treasury in the Central Plains to support it. At the same time, Liu Yu's brother-in-law Huang Chong was secretly preparing. The food and grass in Jingzhou and Yuzhou are also preparing. Everything is constantly running. It is certain to spend time.
After the court dispersed, Liu Yu called the Minister of Military Affairs to his imperial study with a gloomy face.
"How are you doing now? I have to face a lot of advice from officials every day, and my ears are almost heard. How long will it take?" Liu Yu was very dissatisfied.
Huang Zhong, Chen Gong, Ju Su, and Jia Xu were all sweating profusely.
Liu Yu is really unhappy now. If it were Liu Yu who was in charge of the army, Liu Yu might be in a different mood. But now, there is actually no need for Liu Yu who is in charge of the army.
"Your Majesty, I have estimated that it will take about three more days." Chen Gong said with a hard forehead.
"Three days? Okay! I will give you another three days!" Liu Yu made the final bottom line and said, "I told the outside world these three days that I am not feeling well! Let's not go to court for the time being."
It is not a rare thing for the Emperor to attend court in the Han Dynasty. But it is very rare for Liu Yu. Liu Yu has almost no illness in these years, and court discussions are always held normally.
Now that the court discussion is not started, Liu Yu is really annoyed by the Qingliu officials and wants to purify his ears for a few days.
"I will obey the order!" Huang Zhong and others reluctantly received the order.
However, they felt particularly comfortable. It was rare to see Liu Yu so helpless. Since she was hiding, this situation was more rare than auspiciousness from the sky.
Chen Gong and Ju Su felt a sense of resentment evacuation in his heart.
In the past, Liu Yu forced them, but now, there are finally times when Liu Yu is afraid.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu said: "According to the tips from the Eastern Wu side, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both poisoned and unconscious, and Sun Quan has been under house arrest. You should speed up and don't let me down again!"
Liu Yu asked the "Ancient Tribe" to assassinate Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but no one else knew about it.
Even if Liu Yu didn't say that he had asked someone to assassinate Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong and the others could know from this that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were plotted against by the people sent by Liu Yu.
"This matter is really a blessing from the great man. Your Majesty, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu's son went against the will of heaven and finally encountered the punishment of heaven. The way of heaven is clear, and he is unhappy to retribution!" Jia Xu came out very quickly and flattered Liu Yu, and at the same time defined this matter as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's punishment of heaven.
In any case, the assassination of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu cannot be made public. Otherwise, Liu Yu's face will be damaged. As the emperor, Liu Yu's face cannot be damaged, so naturally one person will come out to take the blame. And there is no one else who can take the blame for the emperor except for the military ministers present.
In order not to take the blame for Liu Yu, the old fox Jia Xu took the lead in making a statement.
Huang Zhong, Chen Gong and Ju Su also hurriedly came out to express their opinions. They were not as unconventional as Jia Xu, but they all defined the same thing as Jia Xu.
Liu Yu chuckled and said, "Okay. I know the reason, and you know it too. I don't even want to be ashamed now. If there is another son in the Eastern Wu destruction this time, you should not stop me."
In ugly words, Liu Yu wants to say it first. Liu Yu is very good at matching these ministers. If something happens again, Liu Yu will be rude.
Everyone knows the threat in Liu Yu's tone.
Once something happens, it may take more than ten years for the Eastern Wu to calm down.
But with so many prerequisites, Huang Zhong and others believed that the court would definitely destroy the Eastern Wu this time.
"It's all gone!" Liu Yu waved his hand and asked Huang Zhong and the others to leave.
Huang Zhong and others hurried back to the Military Affairs Office and began to practice Xun Yu and Guo Jia, making final preparations.
Liu Yu did not rest, so he took Li Gui to the Tianzhu in person and came to Cao Cao's cell. Liu Yu's appearance frightened the prison guards in the Tianzhu, and they all knelt on the ground and dared not look up.
At this time, Cao Cao was leisurely reading the book, and he hummed a few small songs from time to time.
"I'm in a good mood! I'm humming a little song." Liu Yu asked the prison head to open the door.
When Cao Cao saw that it was Liu Yu who came in person, he had the answer in his heart. He put down the book in his hand and chuckled, "Are everything ready?"
Liu Yu snatched a box from Li Gui's hand and threw it directly to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao caught it and opened it and saw that it was the snake-killing sword and imperial edict that Liu Yu lent him last time.
"It's time for you to perform!" Liu Yu said softly.
Chapter completed!
