The five hundred and fortieth chapters deepen the contradiction
When leaving the palace, Wu Han was thinking about how to use troops against Jingzhou and how to conquer the counties in Jingzhou, while Wang Liang was concerned about Peng Chong's affairs.
His Majesty was able to summon Da Sima and Da Sikong into the palace to discuss the matter of Peng Chong, which shows how seriously he attaches importance to this matter.
Wang Liang returned to his residence and immediately wrote a letter to Peng Chong, saying that someone had reported that he was enriching his own pockets in Yuyang, forming a clique for personal gain, and attempting to conspire against evil. He had better come to Luoyang in person and explain it to His Majesty face to face.
After writing the letter, Wang Liang rode a fast horse to Yuyang and gave the letter to Peng Chong. A few days later, Peng Chong received a letter from Wang Liang. After reading the content of the letter, Peng Chong was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Swearing.
The person he was scolding was Zhu Fu. Although Wang Liang did not clearly mention who reported him in the letter, he could guess it with his eyes closed. Apart from Zhu Fu, there could not be another person.
But scolding is not a trivial matter after all. Once he is convicted, any one of them can kill him. Peng Chong accepted Wang Liang's opinion and went to Luoyang in person to meet with Liu Xiu.
Peng Chong arrived very quickly. He traveled from Yuyang to Luoyang, sleeping in the open air, day and night, and finally arrived at Luoyang. After he arrived in Luoyang, Liu Xiu personally received him. The place where he met Peng Chong was at the Qingliang Hall.
The weather is hot now. On the day Liu Xiu checked into the palace, he mostly chose to work in the Qingliang Hall. If it was not a formal court meeting and he met with ministers, he would also choose to work in the Qingliang Hall.
However, Peng Chong had some complaints about this. When Liu Xiu was in trouble in Hebei and was chased by Wang Lang and had to hide in Tibet, he stood on his side and mobilized the entire county to help Liu Xiu.
When Liu Xiu was short of troops, he sent troops to him. When Liu Xiu was short of food, he sent him food. If he didn't have supplies, he tried his best to collect supplies and delivered them to Liu Xiu in a steady stream.
Even if you call yourself Liu Xiu's number one hero, it is not an exaggeration.
However, after Liu Xiu became emperor, he was awarded so many officials and marquises, but he continued to be the governor of Yuyang, and was still a Jianzhonghou with only a name but no fiefdom. This made Peng Chong feel
Liu Xiu acted unfairly.
Now that he has come to Luoyang to have an audience, Liu Xiu is not in the main hall to receive him in the non-hall, but in a side hall like Qingliang Hall. How can this be the etiquette and treatment for a hero?
Peng Chong suppressed his dissatisfaction and walked into the Qingliang Hall. When he saw Liu Xiu sitting in the middle, he knelt down, kowtowed forward and said, "Peng Chong, a humble minister, pays homage to your majesty!"
Liu Xiu met Peng Chong in the Qingliang Hall. Firstly, he was used to working in the Qingliang Hall. Secondly, he did not want to meet Peng Chong with a businesslike attitude. More importantly, he wanted to show their personal feelings.
friendship.
It can be said that the thoughts of Liu Xiu and Peng Chong, the emperor and his minister, are not on the same frequency at all. What Liu Xiu wants to show is that I am not blaming you now. I am also very happy for your visit to Beijing.
What Peng Chong was thinking was that Liu Xiu was deeply instigated and bewitched by Zhu Fu. He no longer trusted himself as a great hero, and was not even willing to give himself the most basic courtesy as a hero.
Liu Xiu waved his hand to Peng Chong with a smile and said, "Prefect Peng, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Peng Chong sat down, Liu Xiu asked with a smile: "I wonder what the situation in Yuyang is now?"
Peng Chong said seriously: "Yuyang is under your majesty's care, so naturally all industries will prosper and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!"
After hearing this, the smile on Liu Xiu's face remained the same, but his eyes darkened. The counties of Youzhou have suffered from years of wars. There are Huns outside and rebels inside. The people's livelihood is in ruins and dilapidated. Although Yuyang has been implicated in the wars
It is relatively small, and it is considered a very wealthy county in Youzhou, but it is still far from being able to prosper all industries and live and work in peace and contentment.
Peng Chong was so fond of saying nice things, and his words were full of flattery, which made Liu Xiu feel a little unhappy.
He said meaningfully: "Prefect Peng managed Yuyang very well when he was the governor of Yuyang. I hope that Prefect Peng can continue his efforts and continue to defend the north. In this way, there will be no worries in the rear and I will feel a lot more at ease!"
Liu Xiu said this, obviously to appease Peng Chong. As long as you can keep your peace, no matter how others impeach or accuse you, you will be able to secure your position as prefect.
But from what Peng Chong heard, Liu Xiu's words were clearly telling him that you had no hope of promotion. From now on, you could die as the governor of Yuyang County.
On the surface, Peng Chong was grateful to Liu Xiu for his comfort, but in his heart he was angry, sad, helpless and powerless.
This time Peng Chong went to Beijing for an audience. Instead of improving the relationship between the two of them, the emperor and his ministers, on the contrary, the bad blood between them further deepened.
When the old superiors came to Beijing, Wu Han and Wang Liang, who were once subordinates, naturally treated Peng Chong warmly. Wu Han held a banquet at his home and invited most of the civil and military ministers in the court to welcome Peng Chong.
Wu Han was the Grand Sima, and the Grand Sima's mansion was also built very grandly. Moreover, the residences of the three princes were lined up vertically, close to the palace. Whether it was the foundation, the size, or the style, Peng Chong was jealous of him.
After the ministers of the court arrived one after another, Peng Chong felt the differential treatment. When people saw Wu Han and Wang Liang, they all stepped forward quickly, bowed respectfully, and called them Da Sima, Da Sikong, and Duke Wu.
prince.
When she saw him, she bowed her hands casually and didn't even want to look at him any longer.
You must know that Peng Chong is the protagonist of this banquet, but there is such an obvious gap between people's attitudes towards Wu Han, Wang Liang and him. It is conceivable that Peng Chong, who is arrogant and arrogant,
What was it like at that time?
Wu Han's banquet also had the opposite effect. Instead of eliminating Peng Chong's unhappiness, it actually deepened his dissatisfaction and resentment.
When Peng Chong came to Luoyang this time, he originally planned to stay a few more days and get to know the ministers in the court and establish good relations with him. However, he only stayed for two days before leaving Luoyang, returning to Yuyang, and even leaving.
At that time, they did not come to say farewell to Liu Xiu in person, but asked Wu Han and Wang Liang to say goodbye on their behalf.
Wang Liang tried to persuade Peng Chong, but Peng Chong didn't listen at all.
In the past, Wu Han and Wang Liang were his subordinate officials, but now, one of them is the Grand Sima and the other is the Grand Sikong, and he is just a small prefect. If he doesn't see Wu Han and Wang Liang,
He could be in a better mood. Whenever he saw the two of them, Peng Chong would scratch his intestines and almost go crazy with jealousy.
After Peng Chong returned to Yuyang, Zhu Fu impeached Peng Chong more frequently.
Zhu Fu's memorials reached Luoyang one after another, saying that Peng Chong returned to Yuyang and was aggrieved all day long. He claimed that his achievements were enough to make him a king, but now he was only made a marquis. Peng Chong was extremely dissatisfied with His Majesty; Peng Chong
He believed that his achievements were superior to those of Wu Han and Wang Liang. Both Wu Han and Wang Liang were granted the title of one of the Three Dukes, but he was still just the governor of Yuyang, and he was extremely dissatisfied with His Majesty...
After reading Zhu Fu's impeachment memorials, Liu Xiu's good impression of Peng Chong and his deep gratitude were gradually worn away.
Some of Zhu Fu's impeachment of Peng Chong was based on facts. Peng Chong was indeed a money-grubbing person, and he would indeed take advantage of his power to enrich himself.
But it is sheer nonsense to say that Peng Chong conspired to rebel. These impeachments were purely Zhu Fu's unilateral frame-up of Peng Chong.
Everyone has two sides, and this is especially obvious in Zhu Fu. He is indeed loyal to Liu Xiu, and his abilities are indeed outstanding, but his character is really not that good.
Because of Zhu Fu's interference, the conflict between Liu Xiu and Peng Chong became deeper and deeper, which also laid deep hidden dangers for the future.
Both ends of the book list. Nanyang, Xinye. Fu Jun came to Xinye on Liu Xiu's order to take Yin Lihua to Beijing.
They should have set off long ago, but not long after Fu Jun arrived in Xinye, Liu Xiu's eldest sister Liu Huang sent a letter, saying that she wanted to return to her hometown in Chongling to worship her ancestors, and then go to Xinye and set off on the road with Yin Lihua.
Liu Xiu's eldest sister also had a hard life. When her father passed away, her younger brothers and sisters were still young. As the eldest sister, she had to support the whole family.
Later, his uncle Liu Liang adopted Liu Xiu and Liu Boji. Liu Huang did not want to go to his uncle's house to have a casual meal and cause trouble to his family, so he followed his mother to live in Baishui Village in Wannan.
Soon after, I married a local farmer. After getting married, there was a man in the family, and life became a little easier. However, not long after, her husband passed away again.
Later, her mother also passed away, leaving her alone in the village. One can imagine how difficult her life was.
Now that his younger brother Liu Xiu became emperor, Liu Huang's status finally soared, so he thought of returning to his hometown in Chongling to worship his ancestors.
As Liu Xiu's wife, Yin Lihua naturally could not stay out of the matter. As Liu Huang wrote in his letter, just wait for her in Xinye. Under Fu Jun's protection, Yin Lihua also went to Chongling to meet Liu Xiu.
Huang meets.
Liu Huang is already in her thirties, and she is not well-maintained. Judging from her appearance, she is several years older than her actual age. This is the first time that the aunt and sister-in-law have met. Yin Lihua is very fond of this eldest sister whom she has met for the first time.
You're very welcome.wavv
However, Liu Huang's impression of Yin Lihua was very average.
The main reason is that Yin Lihua's appearance is so beautiful, she is as beautiful as a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of this world.
Although Liu Huang has long passed the age of competing for beauty and is not jealous of Yin Lihua's beauty, she still feels very uncomfortable when she sees such a fairy-like sister-in-law. Liu Huang is a very traditional woman and does not want her younger brother to
If you marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, to put it in folk terms, you may not be able to support her.
But she obviously forgot that if it were in the past, this would be true to apply to Liu Xiu, but now, Liu Xiu is the emperor, what kind of woman is there that the emperor can't support?
Liu Huang's attitude towards Yin Lihua could not be said to be bad, but it was also cold and indifferent. After paying homage to their ancestors, the aunt and sister-in-law began to go north to Luoyang.
Fu Jun tried his best to protect them along the way, and the team went from Chongling to Wancheng without incident. After passing Wancheng, they continued north. Fu Jun had already planned the route.
They walked from Bowang to Luyang, from Luyang they left Nanyang County and entered Nanhe. They first went to Liang County in Henan, and then went straight from Liang County to Luoyang.
The journey from Wancheng to Bowang is not far. Fu Jun speculated that one day would be enough to get there. They set off from Wancheng in the morning, and by the afternoon, they had already crossed the water and were only twenty or thirty years away from Bowang.
miles of distance.
Near Bowang, there are many mountains and rivers, and the road is not easy to walk. The team walked to the Yinshan area, and Fu Jun, who was walking in front, raised his arm and motioned for the team to stop. This large mountainous area is winding and undulating, and the roads are
On both sides, there is jungle.
Fu Jun rode up to a high ground and looked around. At this time, Liu Huang sent someone to ask why the team stopped. Fu Jun didn't say anything more, turned the horse's head, went down the hillside, and went to Liu Huang and
