421. Love Comes or Not
Deng Zhong reached out to touch his waist, but after a short while, he remembered that the knife had been taken away by the guards when he entered the hall. But his face was already full of ejaculation, and it seemed that he was about to hurt people at any time.
His reaction was so intense that the other three were relatively calm.
Little Banden put down his chopsticks and held them on the table with both hands; Wu Gai calmly drank a glass of wine, then put up his sleeves, and poured a rank of wine for Deng Zhong; the emperor did not even raise his head, as if he had never seen Deng Zhong's misconduct at all.
Deng Zhong seemed to have just remembered that this was on someone else's place, and he needed to endure it, perhaps to find a channel to vent, or perhaps to cover it up, he picked up the wine and drank it all.
He forgot that it was the high wine he had been siping carefully. After the big master poured it down, he immediately choked and coughed.
Deng finally coughed heartbrokenly, and Wu Gai came over to caress his back with a smile.
This episode changed the atmosphere in the hall all at once, and the impact brought by the emperor's words was eased.
Little Banden picked up the chopsticks and fetched the meat again. Deng finally drank the water handed over by Wu Gai, stroked his chest and breathed slightly, and finally recovered.
But the emperor seemed to not want Deng Zhong to have a good time, and he spoke up as if he had nothing to do, and then the words just now.
"Deng Feng returned to the Tongma Emperor with several counties in Nanyang, and had great contributions to protecting his family, so he was appointed as the General of Polu. This general's title shows how much Liu Xiu valued him."
The name has extraordinary political significance. Although it is a false thing, it has practical significance. "General Polu" was Liu Xiu's former name and will not be given to others easily. He gave this general name to Deng Feng, which shows that he took another look at Deng Feng and regarded him as his own person.
The relationship between Deng family in Xinye and Liu family in Chongling was extraordinary. Deng Chen first followed Liu Xiu's brothers and played an important role when he started the army. Later, Liu Xiu visited Hebei and had no troops. Deng Chen was the prefect of Changshan at that time, and immediately came to report alone without caring about anything.
Deng Yu was the same. Liu Xuan didn't even move, but as soon as the news of Liu Xiu leaving the cage in Luoyang to start a business in Hebei, Deng Yu set out from home and chased him like crazy. He finally caught up with him and confessed his heart to Liu Xiu, and then never left again.
However, as a big family of two thousand stones in the past, the Deng family in Nanyang has a very profound background. It depends on the thickness of this talent. There were two top talents in the world, one Deng Yu and the other Deng Feng. At this time, Deng Yu went to Hebei to follow Liu Xiu, but there were also a large number of Deng family members in Nanyang, led by the young hero Deng Feng, guarding the family business.
This is still reserved and there is no gamble. Deng Chen and Deng Yu's uncle and nephew followed Liu Xiu to conquer the world. If they fail, Deng's family still has the roots of Nanyang.
But when Liu Xiu settled down in Hebei and built a foundation, Deng Feng immediately led his army north to join the country. All the Deng elites were in Liu Xiu's bag, and Deng took all his family to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu received this love and gave Deng Feng the title of "General of the Despotic Seal". Perhaps it was because Deng Feng joined too late, or perhaps the contribution was not impressive enough, and Liu Xiu did not grant Deng Feng the title of Marquis.
Everyone thought that the future was long, and no one expected it to be just a honeymoon. The intimate relationship between the two really had to be calculated in the month. Liu Xiu and Deng Feng did not survive the itch for seven years, but in just one year, the paper marriage broke down.
Emperor Jianshi Liu Yu said, "If your brother wants to be a foreigner, he should continue to live in seclusion in Nanyang and be an unborn hermit. But since he has defected to Liu Xiu and accepted the reward, Liu Xiu is his lord. He should accept the laws of the emperor and abide by the rules of being a minister. Since he has served Nanyang, Nanyang is the country's Nanyang, no longer Deng Feng's Nanyang. All affairs in Nanyang should be ruled by the state."
This truth is beyond doubt and there is no way to refute it. Although Deng Zhong looked bad, he didn't say anything.
He only muttered in his heart why the emperor spoke from Liu Xiu's standpoint. Is Liu Xiu not his biggest opponent? Shouldn't his brother compete with Liu Xiu, and Emperor Jianshi applaud and call it a righteous act of resisting tyranny?
But the emperor seemed to sit completely on Liu Xiu's side, and he said again: "Wu Han is tyrannical to Nanyang, and he is really guilty. If he is a minister from the same dynasty, how should he act? He will write a letter to impeach him and report the matter to the emperor and hand it over to the national law."
Deng finally didn't speak, so he couldn't let the emperor keep singing a one-man show. At this time, the role of a drinker was reflected. Wu Gai nodded repeatedly and expressed his agreement. Banden even agreed and said, "Your Majesty is right!"
Deng finally couldn't help it and defended: "The emperor was thousands of miles away, but the Wu and Han wars were in front of him. I reported it to the emperor. It took countless hours to go back and forth, but if the Wu and Han affairs were not stopped on the spot, the entire Nanyang would become scorched earth. My brother was a general who defeated the captives and was also a minister of the Han Dynasty. He was responsible for defending the territory. Of course, he had to protect Nanyang and defend the territory for the Han Dynasty."
Before the emperor could speak, Banden actually refuted first, "He can report while defending the territory? Then has he reported it?"
Deng was a shameless person. He was not as thick-skinned as he could lie to his face, so he could only say nothing. The fact is that from beginning to end, Deng Feng was completely useless Liu Xiu, and he didn't even say a word to him.
"Wu Han was guilty. He was a minister of the same dynasty and could write a letter to impeach him and ask the Lord to deal with it. However, he regarded the king as nothing, ignored the national laws, and took action to recruit soldiers and horses, and attacked the court's army. When Wu Han was defeated, he did not apologize for the crime, but instead connected with foreign enemies, raised troops to separatist, and regarded Nanyang as his own ban. Such behavior was not a minister or a minister of the country, and was no different from those of the grass-headed kings who occupied the mountain!"
The emperor said a lot, as if he was thirsty, so he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all. He put down the wine, and said slowly: "Deng Feng's journey is not tolerated by Liu Xiu, but no one who is a king can tolerate it."
The emperor said everything was reasonable and full of momentum. Deng could not refute it. He couldn't help but feel angry and stood up suddenly and said, "What do you mean by Your Majesty's words? If you can't tolerate our brothers, I'll give you a happy word! Although my brothers and brothers are narrow in their arms, they are full of passion. A man will die if he dies, and he will never kneel to others for mercy. If Your Majesty adds a large army, my brother will prepare for war. Fangcheng is a city, Hanshui is a pool, and Your Majesty's army is a crowd, and you have no use!"
This was already a shouting on the spot. If Liu Biao, Mu Hong and others were here, they would probably jump up and teach him a lesson immediately. But strangely, when he shouted so aggressively, the three people in front of him seemed to take it seriously.
Banden once again put down his chopsticks and held the table with both hands; Wu Gai came forward again and poured him a full of wine; Emperor Liu Yu looked at him without hesitation, and his calm expression made Deng finally feel angry and powerless.
The emperor stared at Deng Zhong. Although he spoke slowly, he was clear and powerful in every word. "Go back and tell Deng Feng, think carefully, and make a decision. If you can truly regard me as the king and guard the national laws of the Han Dynasty, you will come to Luoyang to see me. I am willing to make a relationship with him, and give him the opportunity to make achievements. If he cannot, please build a high city and repair the armored soldiers. I will lead a large army across the square city, drink Han water, and hunt in Nanyang with him!"
Deng was a military general, and he was killed in the sea of blood. Of course, he was not a courageless person. However, when he heard Liu Yu's words, he suddenly felt that he could not bear his gaze and couldn't help but lower his head.
He lowered his head and was speechless, his heart was pounding, and his mind was full of the scenes of the battlefield. The long soldiers were tidied forward neatly. One hundred thousand iron cavalry stepped across the Han River, and the heavy cavalry covered with iron were rolling over Fangcheng. He admitted that no matter how strong his brother was, he could not compete with such absolute strength.
However, the emperor threatened nakedly in front of him. How could they suffer such humiliation from the Deng brothers in Nanyang?
Deng was in a state of confusion and stood there. Suddenly, he felt a sank on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw a big black hand resting there.
The emperor had already arrived near him, smiled and said kindly, "Ji Zhen, I know all about your brother's talent. At this time, the army of Wu and Han is in the east. I want to attack him, but there is no general. I want to use your brother as a general and use all the elite troops of Nanyang to defeat Wu and Han and Liang and Qi for me. If I can achieve this achievement, how can the marquis of thousands of households be worth it!"
Deng Zhong was shocked, what? Beat Wu Han?
Wu Han once caused Nanyang to harm him, and everything was caused by him. Although it was not all Wu Han, the Deng brothers had already put the pot on him. Deng Feng and Deng finally gritted their teeth when they mentioned him.
Deng Feng refused to eat the return grass in Handan. One of the important reasons was that he could not get the justice he wanted. He once said clearly that he would go back after killing Wu Han. But Liu Xiu would never give him this justice. With the power of the two brothers, it was impossible to cross the border to seek justice from Wu Han.
If Emperor Jianshi arranged for the Deng brothers to attack Wuhan, Deng Feng would probably take light steps and sing war songs. If their brothers were asked to lead the Nanyang soldiers, there would be no war mobilization at all. From generals to soldiers, they would automatically fill up their blood and burst out with 200% combat power.
What's more, the emperor promised Deng Feng to lead the Nanyang soldiers, which was the basis for the two brothers to settle down. If they could be kept, they would certainly be unsuccessful. As for the marquis of ten thousand households, if they had enough credit, it would be a natural thing. The key is that you have the opportunity to make meritorious service and be named a marquis.
Deng Zhong felt that he could not bear the humiliation caused by the emperor, but when he heard his promise for the future, he suddenly felt a little expectant and excited. The two emotions were intertwined, which made him extremely conflicted. Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's dark face, he wanted to punch him, hit him with a flowery face and a fang. He wanted to crawl on the ground and sincerely bow to his new master.
His mood at this moment was quite similar to that of some women. Looking at his unreliable husband, he thought to himself: "It was so rude just now, which made people humiliate. Now, what sweet words are there, gentle and considerate, but just to make others happy and make people willing to surrender to his tyranny. It's so terrible, annoying!"
Deng Zhong was very worried, but fortunately the emperor had already withdrawn and went back to continue to drink, which made Deng Zhong breathe a sigh of relief.
After the banquet, Deng finally said goodbye.
Banden said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today? Are you having a big time playing? I saw that Deng was forced to take action at all. I was ready to throw him down, but fortunately he held it back, and then he became honest."
The emperor said: "Deng Feng is too capable. Although he is extremely sharp to use, he is a double-edged sword. If you accidentally turn against him, you will know what Liu Xiu is tortured by him. If he does not really support himself, and go against the outside and backward, I would rather not come, so as not to be careful and not to worry. Therefore, I will say ugly words in front of you. Let's put everything on the table, and no one can play any conspiracy! I have this attitude, don't try to play any tricks, he will not come!"
"Since he is so capable, why did Your Majesty agree to let him continue to lead the elite soldiers of Nanyang? He has his own troops in his hands, wouldn't he have a better chance to rebel?"
"Rebellion? Impossible!" The emperor sneered, "I am not saying that he has no such heart, but that he does not have this condition. Deng Feng has the responsibility to protect his hometown and has great prestige in Nanyang. Whenever he needs to fight for his hometown, Deng Feng's army can always burst out with amazing combat power. This cohesion is not only due to Deng Feng's personal charm, but also the need for the people of Nanyang to protect themselves. Deng Feng took the Nanyang soldiers and lay in Nanyang in one dragon. However, once he left Nanyang, such as sending troops to fight Wu Han, the families and industries of Nanyang people could not take away, these will become their soft threats, and the court can control their capital. Moreover, when the troops were sent out, the food and grass must be supplied by the court, and if they wanted to eat, they had to reach out to the court. Once his supply was cut off, even the most powerful army would have to disperse. Can he still turn to heaven?"
Banden nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and admired His Majesty the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, do you think he can come?"
"Generally speaking, it is his best choice to go to Luoyang now, but for a person like Deng Feng, he cannot judge it with common sense and cannot do any guesses accurately. This is really unsure, but the possibility of coming to Luoyang is always much greater than going to Handan, but he may also set up his own business and seek separatist survival. No matter what, let Xia Yang, Qiu Zhi and the others prepare for the battle first, and the matter in Nanyang cannot be delayed. Once the negotiations collapse, immediately attack from three sides and take down Deng Feng!"
Banden was still pestering, as if some puppies were filming stars day and night, and he wanted to ask: "Your Majesty, do you think..."
"Shut up!" Liu Yu was impatient and scolded him, "You are a child who doesn't know anything. Why do you do so much? If you know too much, you will be silenced! Go away from me and don't bother me!"
The reason why Liu Yu was so patient with Banden and answered his various questions was actually to repeat the matter from another perspective to see if there were any omissions and inappropriate points. Some things were the same when they thought about them, but they might be the same when they said them. It was also a process of rethinking themselves, which could make his ideas more mature.
Now he wants to understand this matter thoroughly, and of course he doesn't have the patience to coax the child to play with him anymore.
Banden was used to his temper and didn't think it was offensive, but said in his heart: "How come Your Majesty knows so much? Why does he understand everything? Is this the little calf official who pissed and played with me and played with mud?"
Deng finally stayed in Luoyang for eight days. After the emperor's reception, he rushed back to Nanyang with great speed. When he saw Deng Feng, he carefully described the scene in Luoyang.
