After the court meeting, Liu He deliberately left Qian Li and several others in the palace, had lunch together, and then gathered in the side palace to discuss matters.

"The affairs of today are very good, and I am deeply convinced. If this matter cannot be solved well, I am afraid that most of the civil and military officials in the court will not give up."

Liu He praised.

Qian Li said: "Your Majesty is too good. I have been promoted by Your Majesty for a long time. If Your Majesty has a order, how dare you die if you fail to obey him? What's more, Your Majesty's actions have great benefits for the country and the people. These ministers in the court have their own personal interests and abolish national affairs, and they are in accordance with the truth and law. They should not sit idly by and watch."

"Yes, these guys thought they were more rational than Chen Ji and others. Now it seems that they are just birds of a feather. The difference is nothing more than choice. Chen Ji and others chose Yuan, and they chose His Majesty, but they just wanted to use His Majesty to achieve their own benefits."

Meng Jian's tone was a little indignant. They followed Liu He for many years, and they were born and died, shared honor and disgrace. Their friendship and trust were naturally far from comparable to those court officials.

Seeing them like this, Liu He felt more and more relieved.

"It seems that this matter of the court will depend on all the ministers after all."

When everyone heard this, they were moved, but Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty is inexplicably impressed by your trust in me. However, although the ministers are selfish, compared with Chen Ji and others, at least they still have a heart toward the Han Dynasty and have no rebellious intentions. Your Majesty still needs to teach it with kindness and use it with power to make use of it, so that they can be the image of a saint."

"I don't think there is any need for this." Meng Jian said.

"Those ministers always say that one is a nation, one is a ancestral system, and one is a saint, always use these big words to suppress Your Majesty. They have no moral integrity or talent to govern the country. Otherwise, why would Your Majesty be so tired?"

Although his words were a bit extreme, Shi Tao, Zhao Jin and others nodded secretly, only Qian Li and Er Xun were silent.

After he finished speaking, Qian Li persuaded him: "The power of the public should not be in front of His Majesty, and he would like to comment on the court officials."

After he reminded me, Meng Jian realized that he was a little unspeakable and hurriedly apologized.

Liu He waved his hand: "Hey, Gongwei was also angry for a moment. What kind of crime is it? However, although these ministers are not as loyal as your beloved ministers, they are generally loyal ministers and have made me a contribution to supporting me. They are also intricate in the court and the country, so I still have to rely on them."

"I will follow the sacred decree of Your Majesty."

Liu He looked at Xun Yu: "It's spring now and the weather is getting warmer. I think that soon after, there will be princes coming to Luoyang one after another to celebrate the new emperor's courtesy. This matter must be a lot of trouble."

Xun Yu stood up and saluted: "I obey the order."

Immediately afterwards, he changed his voice: "But now things have changed, and I think the plan should change."

Liu He was a little confused: "Wen Ruo refers to..."

Xun Yu said: "Now, Liu Yan has established himself as the emperor and is trying to compete with His Majesty. Although Yizhou is weak, it is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although our army is powerful, it is very difficult to wipe out Liu Yan for a while."

Liu He also felt deeply: "Well, I have expected this. Even if the whole country's troops are poured out, it's probably not a day to achieve it."

"That's it." Xun Yu said: "Liu Yan told the world that he scolded Your Majesty for doing unjust things to the court officials who had supported Your Majesty in Luoyang. Although this statement is Zixu, nine out of ten people in the world who do not know the truth will inevitably be deceived by him. Now all the princes come to the capital to congratulate you, they are all loyal ministers who are more loyal to Your Majesty. If they follow the initial plan, they will leave them in Luoyang and send trustworthy people to take over the land, they will definitely be taken advantage of by Liu Yan, and use this to slander Your Majesty, secretly hurt these loyal ministers, and attempt to seize the city."

Cui Jun said: "Wen Ruo means that this will affect the hearts of the people in the world, causing some people who do not know the truth to think that Your Majesty is really a cruel king who is unkind and unrighteous?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "This is just one of them. If he spreads rumors like this, the key point lies in the princes of all directions, especially those who are already unstable. They have self-respecting troops and dare not oppose the court, but are afraid of being harmed after surrendering to the court. If they can see those who come to Luoyang to congratulate, none of them will return to their respective territories, and Liu Yan has been deceived and encouraged, and finally made up his mind to rebel against the court and collude with Liu Yan, there will definitely be such that, which will be greatly disadvantageous to Your Majesty."

"Well... this is true. After you said this, I thought of it. I was afraid that those who encouraged Liu Yan to be the emperor behind the scenes would also be in their hearts. Just wait for me to take this step, and they could find a legitimate reason to rebel against me."

"Your Majesty clearly understands it, that's exactly what it is."

"With Wen Ruozhi's opinion, what should we do?" Liu He asked.

"In my humble opinion, after these princes came to Luoyang, they would serve as good-looking children and rewarded them with titles. Then Your Majesty personally sent them out of the city and returned to their hometowns. However, they could send people to help them. Those who could personally come to Luoyang were loyal to Your Majesty, but their subordinates might not be like this."

"After sending his confidants back to the territory with him, he can slowly investigate his civil and military personnel, promote loyal ministers, and eliminate treacherous and slanderous people. Then, when His Majesty needs them, he will hold up the banners in various places and use them for the court. In this way, his Majesty's goal can be achieved, and Liu Yan can leave nothing to say, and he can also use these princes as secret chess to wait for miraculous results in the future."

"In addition, on the way to Luoyang, it is difficult to guarantee that no one sent by Liu Yan would secretly harm His Majesty in an attempt to slander His Majesty. Therefore, I think that Your Majesty should send capable people to protect them secretly, so that this way can not only prevent the person from being killed, but also further gather the hearts of these princes."

When Qian Li and others heard this, they all showed admiration. They also heard a lot of hearing about Xun Yu, but they rarely met. They all said that among the three great counselors around His Majesty, there was a vague image of Xun Yu as the leader, so His Majesty appointed him as the Minister of the Shangshu. Now it seems that he is indeed knowledgeable and thoughtful.

After a little thought, Liu He turned the railway down: "Okay, that's it. If the journey is near and does not pass through other vassal territories, I will send generals to lead troops to support him. If the journey is long and needs to pass through other vassal territories, I will call myself the Flying Eagle Guard to go."

Many days later, in a huge mansion somewhere in Liangzhou and Zhangye County.

A burly middle-aged man walked in quickly: "Haha, brother Wenyou, why do you think of asking Brother Yu to drink today?"

A man who looked a little thin but had mouse eyes came out.

"Haha, Brother Shoucheng, you and I haven't seen each other for many days. I miss you very much. Then I asked my brother to come and have a lecture. Come on, please take your seat."

These two are Ma Teng and Han Sui who dominate Xiliang.

The two sat opposite each other in a lobby. Han Sui clapped his hands, and several maids brought in with delicious wine and food.

Ma Teng immediately picked up the wine pot and opened it to his nose.

"Well... it's not bad, you can tell it's good wine at the first smell."

"Haha, of course, I am not sure if I am entertaining my brother, how can I hide my own personal gain?"

Han Sui smiled and raised the wine bottle.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I respect my brother first, and I respect you first."

"Okay, okay, okay, you and my brother, don't go home until you get drunk today!"

The two of them drank a lot. They drank a pot of wine and sent another pot. They drank it from daytime until night fell, and both of them felt a little drunk.

Ma Teng looked very satisfied with his beard.

"Oh...think about it, since Brother Yu led his troops to station in Longxi County, you and my brothers have not been able to gather once in half a year."

"Isn't that true?" Han Sui put down the wine bottle.

"Since my elder brother has been rewarded by the court several times since he was accused of Dong a few years ago, he has envied me."

Ma Teng looked proud: "Haha, Brother Yu is just lucky, he is lucky. The talent of a virtuous brother is no less than me, and he will be able to make a comeback sooner or later."

When Han Sui heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.

"Brother said it well. I have a good opportunity recently. If I can seize it, I will rise to the top in the future and become a marquis and generals. I will not hide it from my brother. I would like to invite my brother to come here today. In fact, I want to invite my brother to share wealth and honor."

When Ma Teng heard this, he immediately became interested: "Oh? After all, he is his own brother. If you have such a beautiful thing, don't forget your foolish brother. Hurry up, let me tell me, what is the opportunity?"

Han Sui looked forward: "I see that Luoyang court is insane and does not know talents. I have clearly seen many rewards for my brother over the years, but in fact I have let my brother move from Xiliang to Yongzhou step by step. I am afraid that I will seize my brother's military power soon. I think it is better to vote for the emperor of Yizhou."

Upon hearing this, Ma Teng woke up immediately and stood up suddenly.

"Wen Yue, what nonsense are you talking about? Can you say such disobedient words?"

Han Sui also stood up and smiled and said, "This is not nonsense. They are all surnamed Liu. How could Liu He be the emperor? Liu Yan could not do it? A few days ago, Liu Yan had sent envoys. As long as you and my brothers defect to Yizhou, they would immediately give you and me the generals of Zhenxi and the generals of the Western Expedition. The entire Yongliang area is under your control, and they will be given titles and inherited. This is a great glory and wealth. I am sincere and I want to invite my brother..."

"Han Sui, you are arrogant!" Ma Teng scolded loudly.

"Today, only the only one of Luoyang's Majesty is orthodox. Liu Yan, a mere old thief in Yizhou, dares to proclaim himself emperor. I will be in charge of Yongzhou and will sooner or later go to Hanzhong for Your Majesty and destroy this Liao. Your friends are the best friends, as long as you are willing to stop the horse, today, I can think that nothing happened, otherwise it will be too late for my brother to regret it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Sui's eyes suddenly became cold.

"Why, my brother would rather die than be able to fulfill my wealth?"

Ma Teng stood alone: ​​"A real man, do what he does, but doesn't do what he does. I, Ma Teng, is a man, how can I be a national traitor? Brother Yu advises you to turn back as soon as possible, otherwise it will bring disaster to the family sooner or later!"

"Okay, I'm thinking of asking my brother to share the glory for many years. It would be fine if you don't appreciate it, but you'll curse me like this. Can't I be bullied by Han Sui!"

When Ma Teng saw him having an attack, he was not afraid at all: "Hmph, since you have the intention to betray the court, then you and my brothers will cut off your robes and make their own decisions today, and from now on, each of them will be their masters. I don't report to you today's affairs because of the past relationship. But if you meet on the battlefield in the future, don't blame the foolish brother for turning against you!"

After saying that, he drew out his sword and waved it, and his lord threw it hard in front of Han Sui.

Seeing this, Han Sui suddenly sneered: "In the future? Humph, you think well, I'm afraid you won't get out of here today!"

He suddenly threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground. Suddenly, countless soldiers ran over and surrounded the lobby.
