Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle
Chapter 51 The Emperor's Edict Appears Unexpectedly
When Liu Yu returned home and saw Chen Dao, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, slowly relaxed like a stone had fallen to the ground.
Chen Dao saw that Liu Yu's expression was a little strange, and he didn't understand. Didn't the lord go to accept the emperor's reward?
"My lord, the emperor has bestowed upon you a reward. Why are you not happy?"
Liu Yu thought to himself, if you were forced to drink blood and eat meat, you would probably do the same.
He told Chen Dao what happened when he left the palace.
Chen Dao's face was full of indignation.
"Dong Zhuo insulted my lord. I will kill him in the future to avenge my lord."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, it was rare for him to have such a heart. He patted Chen Dao on the shoulder to show encouragement.
It is too early to talk about revenge now. Now in Luoyang City, he is the knife and I am the fish.
The most urgent thing is to save your life before anything else.
"How is the progress of your assignment?"
Liu Yu had returned to Luoyang two days ago. The emperor had caught a cold, so he stayed in the palace until late at night. When he got home, he felt as if his bones were falling apart, so he fell asleep. He hadn't had time to ask Chen Dao about what he had asked him to do before the spring hunt.
"According to the Lord's order, we have recruited a hundred men. They are all young and strong, and know some martial arts. There are also thirty men who have served in the military and are proficient in archery, horse riding and shooting, but we don't have any horses now."
A hundred people, so many. Liu Yu originally wanted Chen Dao to recruit fifty people, but he didn't expect that a hundred people would be recruited in just a few days.
"With so many people, will it arouse suspicion from others?"
Chen Dao said, "Don't worry, my lord. I have already inquired about it. Officials have guards and servants in varying numbers. As long as there is money and food, it is not uncommon to have thousands of them. They also have armor, horses, bows and arrows, swords and guns. No one will care."
"In that case, you should also go get some money and buy some war horses."
Chen Dao seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Liu Yu understood what he meant by looking at his expression.
He must have asked Huang San for money, but Huang San probably felt sorry for the money and didn't give it to him.
"I'll let Huang San know when I see him."
Chen Dao was overjoyed and bowed quickly.
"Thank you, my lord."
Liu Yu waved his hand.
"How are these guys doing in practice?"
"We have seen initial results these days. If we really encounter thieves, I wouldn't say we can defeat a hundred with one, but we can defeat ten with one."
Liu Yu nodded. Although there were few of these people, they were all fighting force after all. If they were properly trained, they could play a role at critical moments.
Chen Dao brought Liu Yu to the training ground, where they saw a hundred men, all of them full of fighting spirit, engaged in intensive training. The key was that the team was neatly organized and did not seem to be in chaos.
Although Chen Dao is young, he is quite good at training soldiers.
Chen arrived and waved his flag. Everyone saluted Liu Yu and said, "Lord."
Liu Yu waved his hand and signaled to continue.
For the next ten days, Liu Yu stayed in his house every day without leaving. He got up in the morning to practice boxing and watched Chen Dao practice at noon. His life was quite pleasant.
It was not until one day when Wang Yun suddenly came to his house that he learned about the major event that had taken place in Luoyang in the past few days.
It turned out that after Dong Zhuo finished the banquet that day, he said that the emperor was ill and refused to allow anyone to come to see him.
Wang Yun was thinking about the emperor and entered the palace three times, but did not see the emperor. When he came out for the third time, the emperor's personal eunuch secretly gave Wang Yun an imperial edict. When Wang Yun went back and took a look, he was shocked.
The emperor's edict said that he was under house arrest by Dong Zhuo and was in imminent danger. He asked Wang Yun to take this edict and call on heroes all over the world to rise up and defend the king.
Wang Yun took the imperial edict and thought over it again and again. Among the people he knew, only Liu Yu could take on this task.
Raise an army to support the king.
Liu Yu was a little confused for a moment.
Wang Yun placed the imperial edict in Liu Yu's hand and said earnestly, "Yunqi, the emperor's safety depends entirely on you."
Liu Yu held the imperial edict, which was heavy and a little dazed.
In his memory, it was Yuan Shao who contacted the 18 princes and sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo. From beginning to end, only one edict forged by Cao Cao appeared. What was going on with this inexplicable edict of the emperor?
From this period of getting along with Liu Xie, Liu Yu already knew Liu Xie's thoughts clearly. Dong Zhuo helped him to the throne. Although he was domineering, he was also courteous to Liu Xie.
As for who holds the power, for the nine-year-old emperor, it is no more important than what he plays and eats today.
Besides, the emperor usually lives in the palace and never goes out, so there is really no need to put him under house arrest.
In a sense, the two of them still share a community of interests at this stage.
Dong Zhuo needed the emperor to maintain his status as the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie needed Dong Zhuo to maintain his position as the emperor.
If history had continued to develop smoothly at this stage, the point at which their conflicts would have arisen would have been when Liu Xie became an adult and understood the taste of power.
Liu Yu pondered for a long time and said, "Uncle, I feel that something is wrong with this matter. The emperor is still young, why would he think of issuing an imperial edict to defend the country?"
Wang Yun was the only one who hesitated.
"I think it's because Dong Zhuo's pressure has been getting worse in recent days, and the emperor has no choice but to issue this decree."
Liu Xie drank a cup of tea and said slowly: "Uncle, why did Dong Zhuo force His Majesty?"
Wang Yun was speechless for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Dong Zhuo dared to kill the young emperor and the queen mother, what else would he not dare to do?"
What Wang Yun said was of course correct. Given Dong Zhuo's character, he would not hesitate to raise the butcher knife when there was a conflict of interests. But this was not the right time at all. The emperor was young and just the right age to be controlled.
Unless he wants to be emperor, Liu Yu had a flash of thought in his mind, and then he felt that something was wrong.
Although the Han Dynasty is in decline, it still has a strong influence. Although Dong Zhuo is powerful, the territory he can occupy is limited after all.
Later, Cao Cao unified the entire north and his power was greater than Dong Zhuo's today, but in the end he still did not dare to proclaim himself emperor.
Although Dong Zhuo was not the wisest leader of the time, he was not stupid. In addition, he had top strategists like Li Ru and Jia Xu around him.
Liu Yu thought about it for a long time, but still felt something was wrong.
Wang Yun was a little anxious.
"My dear nephew, I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. How can I bear to watch Your Majesty in distress without helping him?"
Liu Yu comforted him, "Don't panic, my dear uncle. This is a serious matter and needs to be carefully considered."
After hearing what Liu Yu said, Wang Yun decided not to urge him any further and picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Liu Yu asked, "Uncle, what is the identity of the eunuch in the palace? Is he trustworthy?"
Wang Yun thought for a while and said, "This man's name is Bi Hua. He is the younger brother of Bi Lan. When Zhang Rang, Bi Lan and others committed suicide by jumping into the river, only a few young eunuchs were left to serve the young emperor and Your Majesty. One of them was Bi Hua."
"His elder brother was forced to death by Dong Zhuo. He and Dong Zhuo have such a deep hatred that he will definitely not surrender to Dong Zhuo."
