Chapter 99 Young Emperor Liu Bian
The court talks did not end until noon.
As soon as the court discussion ended, Zhang Wen couldn't wait to bring the credit book that recorded the achievements of quelling the chaos, dozens of officials and confidants in the court who defected to him, and hundreds of elite soldiers embarked on the road to Chang'an.
When everyone left, some people were jealous, some were envious, and some were even cold-eyed.
Outside the palace.
Li Hao walked on the stone street full of vicissitudes of life with his confidants, with a calm expression and even a gentle smile, and there was no sign of the depression and sadness of being robbed of the credit.
As Li Hao's number one horseman, Liu Shan was the first to jump out and speak out for him, saying: "Tingwei, why did you make a contribution to that shameless old person? He didn't think about it. If it weren't for the Sili School Commander's headquarters led by you and the Bingzhou Army led by General Zhang Liao, how could he have the current situation."
"Isn't that? It's such a joke that the old guy wants to be a top skill."
Most of the others were indignant and felt that it was not worth it for Li Hao.
Li Hao smiled and did not answer, but turned to the person behind him.
The man looked about thirty years old, and although his face was ordinary, he gave people a very special feeling. Especially his eyes narrowed slightly, as if the whole world was hidden inside.
The man was elegant and extraordinary, and when everyone was talking about Li Hao, he also maintained a unique calmness.
This person is Xun You, a famous scholar who has been saved by Li Hao from Dong Zhuo, and a strategist who has left a strong reputation in history.
During his lifetime, Xun You was called Cao Cao's "master" and was good at flexible and changeable tactics and military strategies for defeating enemies.
He made countless achievements in his life, mainly because Cao Cao persuaded Cao Cao to retreat when he conquered Lu Bu and offered a strange plan to flood Xiapi City and capture Lu Bu alive.
In the battle of Guandu, Xun You made plans to attack the east and west, and killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He also made a brilliant soldier and sent Xu Huang to burn Yuan Shao's food and grass. At the same time, he strongly advocated that Cao Cao accept Xu You, painted Wuchao, and made great contributions.
During the pacification of Hebei, Xun You opposed the opposition and advocated that Cao Cao eliminate Yuan Shao's sons, and was submitted by Cao Cao to the court as the Marquis of Lingshuting.
It can be said that on Cao Cao's path to development, every major event recorded in history is indispensable to Xun You.
It was precisely because he knew Xun You's strength that after saving him, Li Hao forced him to stay by his side.
However, Xun You is also interesting. Although Li Hao was forced to serve, he was orderly in his work and often did better than others.
Li Hao looked at Xun You and smiled and said, "How do you think Wenda?"
Xun You, whose courtesy name is Wenda.
Xun You said calmly: "You naturally look at it with your eyes."
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then someone familiar with Xun You couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You fake gentle guy, you are still pretending to be here. Tell me quickly, what did you see? Did the Tingwei have other plans?"
Xun You finally couldn't hold on to the tense face of everyone's teasing and Li Hao's smiling expression.
Amid the teasing of the crowd, Xun You smiled helplessly and said slowly: "Tingwei is intending to let Sikong go to Chang'an to welcome His Majesty."
What!
Everyone's smiles froze, and they looked at Xun You in surprise, and turned to Li Hao.
How is this possible? This is a major event in rewarding merits.
The Tingwei gave up the opportunity to go to Chang'an to welcome His Majesty to Sikong. Didn't he give up the greatest credit for his pride in vain?
Li Hao laughed and said, "Haha, Wenda is the one who knows me. Why should I give you the opportunity to Zhang Wen?"
When Xun You heard Li Hao's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he had already made some guesses.
But he knew the way of being a subordinate, and he knew even more that this was a good opportunity for the leader to show off. How could he be so stupid that he could say it outright.
Therefore, Xun You did not speak out directly, but instead bowed and said ashamed: "You are stupid and do not understand the true intention of the court wise."
The others were a little disappointed, but they became more and more curious about why Li Hao did this.
They looked at Li Hao curiously, greatly satisfying his vanity.
Li Hao smiled mysteriously, without explaining directly, but simply said: "Everyone, follow me."
Everyone became more and more curious, wanting to know what Li Hao is selling for. A little bit of understanding flashed in Xun You's eyes, and his previous guess became more and more certain.
Li Hao walked with everyone for two quarters of an hour, and finally stopped in a remote alley in the inner city.
It is sparsely populated here, and the alley is faintly filled with damp mold.
The houses on both sides are quite old, and you can tell at a glance that they are old houses that have been in the past. The walls are mottled and the doors have lost their bright color.
The door opened, and a tall and thin old man with white hair and beard walked out. It was Zhang Jiao's old servant Mr. Hu.
When he saw Li Hao, he said respectfully: "I am paying homage to the Tingwei."
Li Hao responded with a smile: "I'm sorry, Hu is old, that person is still safe now."
"Okay, I'm just bored."
Li Hao nodded and turned to the courtyard with everyone.
The courtyard is not big. Passing the front yard lobby, you can directly enter the back yard.
But I saw a young pale-faced young man sitting in the pavilion in the backyard reading a book. There was also a beautiful girl with excellent looks and a young and handsome boy beside him.
When the few people saw Li Hao coming, they looked different. The young man's eyes were filled with joy. The girl with excellent looks was a little nervous and a little shy about her daughter's family. The handsome boy who was like a servant was filled with joy.
They are the young emperor Liu Bian, the princess Tang Ji, and Zhang Cheng, who was once saved by Li Hao.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Among the confidants behind Li Hao, there were many people who had seen the true appearance of the young emperor Liu Bian. When he saw Liu Bian appear, he was shocked and screamed.
When others heard this, even though they didn't know Liu Bian's true face, most of them guessed his identity.
Everyone looked at Liu Bian foolishly, and turned to Li Hao again.
They finally understood where Li Hao's confidence was, and finally understood why he gave the task of going to Chang'an to welcome the emperor to Zhang Wen.
The little emperor of Chang'an was established by Dong Zhuo when the country was in chaos. It was obviously ineligible, whether in terms of etiquette or reason.
If Liu Bian is dead, it would be fine for Liu Xie to inherit the throne as the descendant of Emperor Ling.
But now that Liu Bian is not dead, how can Liu Xie inherit the throne?
When Zhang Wen and his confidant went to Chang'an happily to welcome the pseudo-emperor, there was no need to think about what the image they would be in Liu Bian's mind.
Everyone was amazed when they saw Liu Bian's expression when Zhang Wen returned. The Tingwei was indeed very cunning. He killed people invisibly, and digging a hole could make the other party jump in happily.
High, really high.
Everyone thought that Li Hao easily solved the biggest opponent in this rebellion, and they couldn't help but feel joy in their hearts. They no longer had the anger and injustice they had before, leaving only joy and excitement.
