On December 28, the third year of Jian'an, Emperor Han summoned Liu Chuang at Chengguang Hall.
It was also the first time that Liu Chuang met this famous Emperor Xian in history. He was the same age as Zhuge Liang and was extremely handsome. However, although Emperor Xian was only eighteen years old, he looked extremely vicissitudes. No wonder, this 18-year-old emperor had experienced so many things since childhood that he gave people a feeling of old age and had no such vitality that a young man should have.
Looking back, Emperor Han’s life was also miserable enough.
His biological mother, Wang Guiren, died mysteriously after giving birth to him.
In later generations, many people thought that she died at the hands of Empress He at that time. Therefore, Emperor Han was adopted by Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and was involved in the dispute over the establishment of the legitimate emperor at a young age. Unfortunately, Emperor Liu Bian had the support of the general He Jin at that time, so Emperor Han naturally could not compete with Emperor Shao.
Unexpectedly, during the Ten Generals' Rebellion, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.
With the support of Dong Zhuo, Emperor Han suddenly became emperor and followed Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Guo fought against each other... Emperor Han once again became a puppet and was controlled by Li Guo. After Li Guo turned against him, Emperor Han went east to Hangu Pass. He thought that the situation was calm from then on, but in the end, Cao Cao was appointed as the emperor to order the princes. He moved the capital from Luoyang to Xudu, and was still regarded as a puppet.
Thinking about it, Emperor Han was really pitiful in this life and was always a puppet and was manipulated.
There was a hint of hypocrisy in his smile.
Although it was very concealed, Liu Chuang could still feel the coldness in his smile
Yes, cool!
Emperor Liu Xie of Han was very good-looking, with beautiful eyebrows and extraordinary appearance. However, his eyes were slightly slender, like snake eyes, cold and ruthless. His lips were very thin, which was even more of a mean appearance. In fact, he was indeed a cold-hearted person. Wang Yun devoted all his efforts to him. In the end, Li Guo's troops were at the city. Emperor Han pushed Wang Yun without hesitation to calm Li Ju Guo Si's anger.
Liu Xie held Liu Chuang's hand and looked very enthusiastic.
He was called by the emperor's uncle on the left and Guanting Hou on the right, but it did not make Liu Chuang feel any touched.
Moreover, when Liu Xie summoned Liu Chuang, Cao Cao was also on the side.
So the two did not have much intimate conversation. After only asking about Liu Chuang's past, Emperor Han didn't know what to say.
"Uncle the emperor came to Xudu this time, what are the plans?"
"Report to Your Majesty. I still promise this time, mainly because I hope to go to Yingchuan and rebuild my ancestral property.
Also, I want to move my father's tomb from Luoyang to Yingchuan for burial, which can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to the roots. But I don't know if Your Majesty can allow me to do it."
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes turned and before the Emperor of Han opened his mouth, he said, "The matter of moving the tomb for the Marquis of Zhongling is of great importance.
Guanting Hou was very filial, and I was also very moved. However, Guanting Hou would follow His Majesty to perform a ceremony for worshiping the heavens at Yuxiutai in the future, so it would be difficult to leave at this time. It would be better if Zhongling Hou had kindness to me back then. It would be better for me to send someone to move Zhongling Hou’s to Changshe. At that time, Guanting Hou would only need to go to Changshe and go to Changshe without any trouble. It would also delay major issues."
Just kidding, I finally caught you in Xu Du. If you run to Luoyang and take the opportunity to slip away, wouldn’t it be a problem?
Although Luoyang is now controlled by Cao Cao, if it is said to be strong, it is far less comprehensive than Xu Du. Therefore, Cao Cao would never allow Liu Chuang to leave Xu Du. He must firmly control Liu Chuang under his nose, so as not to do anything cheating.
When Emperor Han heard about it, his eyes lit up.
But when Cao Cao finished speaking, a helpless look flashed across his face.
"Yes, the emperor still needs to stay. After three days, he will follow me to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, and then go to the Taimiao for sacrifice. How can you leave at this time?
However, the matter of moving the tomb of Zhongling Hou is also extremely important.
I’ll ask Sikong Duoduo to do this as soon as possible, and don’t let Guanting Hou wait too long.”
Cao Cao quickly bowed to take the order, then looked at Liu Chuang again, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Liu Chuangze bowed to Cao Cao with an indifferent expression, "In this way, I have to ask Sikong to worry about this."
Judging from his appearance, it seemed that Gen didn't take this matter to heart.
It also made Cao Cao extremely angry, but there was still a smile on his face, "This is what I should do."
The meeting between Emperor Han and Liu Chuang was very short, and it was probably less than thirty minutes to add up, let alone talk about substantive issues. Since Cao Cao was beside him, the two could not have a deep conversation, so they hurriedly ended the Chinese language and Liu Chuang said goodbye and left.
Walking out of the imperial city, Xiahou Lan immediately stepped forward.
Liu Chuang got on the horse, took Xiahou Lan and others away from the Meridian Gate, and headed straight for the Meridian Gate Street.
However, as soon as he walked onto the street, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Dare you asking if it's Uncle Liu in front?"
Liu Chuang turned around and saw a carriage coming.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and a handsome face appeared from the inside. "The doctor of Xiaguan Zhongsan was buried. I met Uncle Liu outside Xudu City the last time. Unfortunately, I was busy with official business and never had the opportunity to linger with Uncle Liu. Today, I would rather have the opportunity to get along with Uncle Liu and invite Uncle Liu to drink?"
Fu finished?
Liu Chuang was stunned, quickly dismounted and bowed to greet him.
"By the way, how about it now?"
"What the father-in-law said about Mr. Kong Rong? He met him once in Gaomi at the beginning of the year, but after that, Mr. Kong went to Nanshan Academy and I rarely had the chance to meet him. When I left Gaomi this time, Mr. Kong sent someone to see him off, and he was quite strong."
Fu Wan smiled slightly and nodded repeatedly.
He invited Liu Chuang to get on the carriage, but Liu Chuang did not refuse, so he threw the reins to Xiahou Lan and got on the carriage.
The carriage has a large space, with a desk inside, and a half-meter-high bronze tripod with incense lit inside, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Uncle Emperor, I'm stopping you now, because I have something to ask for."
"oh?"
"I heard that the emperor's uncle and Liu Bei, the governor of Yuzhou, had some misunderstandings... But no matter what, Liu Bei was also descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and a relative of the Han family. Now the Han family is in decline and the court is in slump. Your Majesty also hopes that the royal family can work together to promote the Han family. I wonder what the emperor's uncle thinks?"
Liu Chuang was silent!
Could it be that Emperor Han wanted to recognize Liu Bei as his uncle?
Don’t underestimate the title of “Urgent Uncle”. Liu Chuang did not attach much importance to it in the past, but since he received the title of Uncle, he immediately understood that in this era, the meaning represented by the Uncle. Uncle represents orthodox and represents the Han Dynasty... Although he has no power, he does have great appeal. For those who still respect the Han Dynasty as orthodox, the title of Uncle has great attraction. It is this title that allows Liu Chuang to quickly gain a foothold in Beihai.
"Your Majesty, do you want to accept Liu Bei's return to the emperor?"
Fu Wan looked at Liu Chuang and said seriously: "Uncle, no matter what, Liu Xuande is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and he is a descendant of the royal family.
If the emperor's uncle can abandon his past grievances and cooperate with him, why worry about the unrest of the Han Dynasty? Of course, I also know that Liu Bei offended the emperor's uncle. So I will also send someone to explain to him that he will not be able to oppose the emperor's uncle anymore. In any case, the emperor's uncle will be the most important thing in the clan's mansion."
It turned out that it was just letting Liu Bei return to his hometown!
Liu Chuang suddenly woke up in his heart.
He could understand the difficulties of Emperor Han today. The Han Dynasty was declining and the royal family was in a slump, so he could only recruit the children of the royal family to support the store from the outside as much as possible. Obviously, in terms of the current situation, Emperor Han attached great importance to Liu Chuang, otherwise Fu Wan would not have asked Liu Chuang to test Liu Chuang's words. At the same time, Fu Wan also made it clear that Liu Bei's status would never be higher than Liu Chuang.
In other words, Liu Bei could only return to the emperor but could not get the name of the emperor's uncle?
"Will Liu Xuande attend this year's ceremony of worshiping heaven and ancestors in Taimiao?"
Fu Wan smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, this ceremony of worship for heaven is not a matter of Liu Bei.
To put it bluntly, the reason why His Majesty included him in the royal family was that he wanted to share some pressure for the emperor, otherwise he would inevitably become the target of public criticism.”
It seems that it is difficult for Liu Bei to change his return to the royal family.
In fact, I should have thought that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person, how could he not see the effect of the halo of the 'Lian Family'?
However, I guess this plan was not something that Liu Bei thought of, but someone should have given him some advice.
Liu Chuang frowned and immediately thought it through: Liu Bei had a relationship with Fu Wan and other royalists so quickly, so Chen Deng would have to work hard for him.
In history, Chen Deng has never left Xuzhou.
But now, because Lu Bu cut off the Chen family's foundation in Xuzhou, Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son had to follow Cao Cao to Xudu.
Liu Chuanglai was very proud, but now he thought about it, he was probably adding wings to Liu Bei.
You know, the Chen father and son have always been very close to Liu Bei and have lost the restraint of their foundation. Wouldn't that give Liu Bei the opportunity to recruit Chen Deng?
Well, if Liu Bei got Chen Deng's help, he would probably be more powerful.
Liu Chuang suddenly felt inexplicably palpitations. He had previously snatched Zhuge Liang from Liu Bei, thinking that he could cut off one of Liu Bei's arms, but he did not expect that Liu Bei would gain the initiative in advance. Liu Bei's courage, don't question it. He had Zhang and Chendao in his hands, but now he had Chen Deng again. The future development may change. If he could not prepare early, he would probably become a confidant in the end.
But he also knew that since Fu Wan had come forward, it would be difficult for Liu Chuang to blatantly go to find Liu Bei's trouble.
This is indeed a bit tricky!
Liu Chuang felt that things seemed to be beyond his control, and the deviation of the historical track would inevitably lead to a series of changes...
Then, the advantages he has to travel through time will become less and less as time goes by.
No, you must speed up development and leave Xudu as soon as possible, otherwise more and more variables will definitely occur.
"Birdsman!"
"Uncle..."
"I have something to ask for, and I want to ask the father-in-law for help."
Fu Wan was stunned and looked at Liu Chuang in surprise, "Can you be the emperor uncle, you want to leave Xu Du?"
Liu Chuang smiled slightly, "Cao Cao is very careful of me now, and I'm afraid he will find it difficult to get out for a while.
But I have always liked to prepare for the future when doing things. I have understood the meaning of the father-in-law. What I said next will come out of my mouth and into your ears, and you will not let the third party know it."
Fu Wan was excited and smiles immediately appeared on his face.
He could hear that Liu Chuang was willing to agree and challenge Cao Cao with him.
"Please rest assured that I will help you with your help as long as I can."
"I want to protect the position of Captain Karasuma."
"ah?"
Fu Wan was stunned and looked at Liu Chuang in confusion and said, "Uncle, why do you want this Captain Huwuwan?"
Huwuhuan Captain, also known as Wuhuan Captain.
At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Wuhuan was defeated by Maodun and was enslaved by the Huns. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Qubing defeated the left land of the Huns and moved the Wuhuan people to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping and Liaodong. It was from that time that the court established the position of Huwuhuan Captain.
The Huwuwan Captain, who has a rank of 2,000 stones, has the power to hold qualities and control both qualities and ranks of foreign tribes in Huwu. At the same time, he can lead the Xianbei tribes and other tribes and send troops to conquer.
Liu Chuang was already the General Yang Wu, and the military position of the lieutenant seemed to be lower than the original military position.
But in fact, all generals who are stationed in the border areas are called lieutenants.
The power of the Captain Huwuhuan is even greater than that of Liu Chuang's original General Yangwu.
"Uncle Emperor, do you want to..."
Fu Wan is not a fool, and he quickly understood Liu Chuang's intentions.
However, he didn't understand why Liu Chuang abandoned Donglai County, Beihai Kingdom, and ran to Youzhou, a bitter and cold place. As for how Liu Chuang went to Youzhou, Fu Wan believed that Liu Chuang must have a solution, otherwise he would not have brought up this matter on his own initiative. But can Youzhou be better than Qingzhou?
Fu Wan is not proficient in military affairs, so he doesn't quite understand Liu Chuang's ideas.
On the one hand, he was surprised, on the other hand, he was surprised... This shows that Liu Chuang was confident enough to escape from Xu Du.
What was the Han Emperor most worried about?
What he was most worried about was that Liu Chuang could not leave Xu Du and was trapped in Xu Du.
"I already understand the emperor's intentions... Please rest assured that I will operate this matter secretly and will never disappoint the emperor."
"In this way, please ask the father-in-law."
As the two of them were talking, they arrived at the corner of Meridian Street without realizing it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Chuang wanted to say goodbye and get out of the car.
As for drinking, it was just an excuse, and neither he nor Fuwan really took it to heart.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After getting off the car, Liu Chuang returned to the inn.
But he didn't want to get off the horse, and saw an official coming forward and bowing, "Uncle Emperor, the minister Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang just sent someone to deliver the posts, and invite the emperor to have a banquet tonight."
This postman is about eight feet tall and has a dignified appearance and a good appearance.
Compared with other post officials, the temperament of this post official is obviously different. Although he is dressed simply and his gray robe is white, he exudes a faint majesty in every move. Liu Chuang has never seen this post official, so he cannot name it.
However, he did not despise the humble status of this post office official, because his demeanor made people feel disappointed.
Xu Du, indeed, is a hidden dragon and creeping tiger. A small post official, who is so arrogant?
Liu Chuang took the post handed over by the post officer, glanced at it, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
