Chapter 144 Rejection of the Wedding
The Yi Cao of the Sacrifice Department was a famous scholar in the world, and he had a deep understanding of etiquette, so he was appointed as the second-in-command of the Sacrifice Department.
He actually came out to speak for Li Shun?
I saw that Yi Cao said to Liu Yizhen in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "This is a national matter. How can the Duke of Chang'an insult the envoy with vulgar words? This behavior is unworthy of the style of a great country."
Just when Liu Yizhen was about to continue spraying, Liu Yu finally came to an end.
"That's right. What Chang'an did was indeed inappropriate. Why don't you apologize to the envoy?"
Liu Yizhen glanced at Liu Yu suspiciously.
Is this a step down for Li Shun?
Liu Yizhen thought quickly and immediately realized that Liu Yu might want to use Li Shun to do something, and he could not let Liu Yizhen spray him now.
Seeing that Liu Yu wanted to protect Li Shun, Liu Yizhen raised his hands and shook his arms, and rolled his eyes at the same time, which almost made the other party angry to death.
This scene was naturally watched by the surrounding officials.
The generals admired Liu Yizhen's attitude very much.
The enemy is the enemy. How many soldiers shed their lives and blood on the battlefield? Why should we just fight each other at the negotiation table?
Just spray when you need to, and scold when you need to scold. If you don’t accept it? Then just get up and have a fight!
But civil servants, especially some bureaucrats from aristocratic families, were somewhat disgusted with Liu Yizhen.
"This man is so arrogant and dares to insult the envoys of other countries in the court. He must not be a kind person!"
The bones of these people had long since melted in this Jiangnan water town.
Their appeal has never been to fight back, but for everyone to live in harmony with each other in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, as long as the rivers do not interfere with each other.
Therefore, Liu Yizhen's behavior that may cause disputes between the two countries and undermine "peace" is naturally looked down upon.
Li Shun looked at Liu Yizhen, but he no longer knew how to answer the question.
Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for the Northern Wei Dynasty if he continued to praise him after being so viciously ridiculed by Liu Yizhen?
Fortunately...
"Report to the Emperor."
Another official stood up.
Dahonglu!
Main ceremony, vassal state.
In the Han Dynasty, Da Honglu would have been an important minister among the nine ministers, but now that there is a minister of the Ministry of Sacrifice under the Shangshu Order, Da Honglu's power position has long been replaced, and now he is just a little transparent.
But in name Da Honglu was still responsible for external etiquette, and it was his right to stand up on Li Shun's matter.
Just listen to Da Honglu say: "The achievements of Duke Chang'an in Guanzhong are obvious to all. Not only did he promote the surrender of the Xiongnu and Rouran, but he also established a mutual trade, which restored peace to the northwest of the Shanxi Province. Now that Xianbei in the north also recognizes the talent of Duke Chang'an, why not
How about sending Duke Chang'an back to northern Xinjiang to promote friendship between the two countries?"
Liu Yizhen finally understood.
Are you trying to drive me away from Jiankang?
Looking at Li Shun with some interest, it turns out that this is where he is waiting for me.
No wonder I had to brag carelessly before.
If when Li Shun praised Liu Yizhen before, Liu Yizhen agreed, and Li Shun made a plan to ask Liu Yizhen to return to Northern Xinjiang, he would be forcing Liu Yu to transfer Liu Yizhen.
If the Northern Wei Dynasty cooperates with Li Shun, it will take some actions on the border.
Or maybe some people in the imperial court are trying to stir things up, and it is really possible to force Liu Yizhen to leave.
Just after Da Honglu finished speaking, he took out two more memorials: "This is a letter from the Xiongnu envoy Chigan Ali and the Rouran envoy Yu Jiulu Wu Ti. Both of them said that there are some issues that need to be negotiated in the opening of the mutual market.
But now the only one who is proficient in this matter is Duke Chang'an."
Hu Xia!
Rouran!
very good……
Liu Yizhen's eyes flashed coldly.
Sure enough, they were all feeding unfamiliar wolves. How long has it been? And they actually hooked up with the Northern Wei Dynasty to get Liu Yizhen.
At this time, some ministers expressed their opinions one after another and agreed with the idea of letting Liu Yizhen leave Zhenbei Xinjiang.
Liu Yizhen swept over these people.
Most of them are aristocratic families who hold empty and high positions.
There are also some generals who speak with southern accents.
Liu Yi knew clearly that the generals behind him should be the generals of the southern faction who targeted Wang Zhene before.
Looking at these people, Liu Yizhen seemed to see an invisible black hand holding these forces together, just to cooperate with Li Shun to give Liu Yizhen a blow today.
Who is behind this?
Liu Yizhen looked at Liu Yu again, and Liu Yu looked at ease without saying a word.
The direct descendants behind him, such as Xu Xianzhi, Xie Hui, and Fu Liang, also seemed to have an attitude of not caring about the matter.
Liu Yu, this is...
Are you fishing by yourself?
The priest Yi Cao he caught just now didn't satisfy his appetite, so he gave Li Shun a step down?
Liu Yizhen immediately recalled what Fu Liang had said to him before.
Liu Yu’s last conversation with himself...
It seems that they only said that Liu Yilong would stay in Luoyang and arrange his marriage.
etc?
marriage?
Liu Yizhen looked at Liu Yu with a strange expression.
No wonder Liu Yu suddenly wanted to marry him a wife and was so anxious to propose marriage.
Just to use it as a shield?
Doesn't that mean that Liu Yu had already expected such a day?
It makes no sense. Liu Yu has no way of knowing what Li Shun is going to do, unless Liu Yu also comes from time travel.
Then there is only one possibility——
He looked back with a half-smile and looked at the senior officials of the aristocratic family who stood up to support his going out.
These people...
It seems that he was tricked by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Although I don’t know why the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to leave Jiankang, whether it was because of the seizure of the heir or other reasons, anyway, he spared no effort to win over the forces that Liu Yizhen had offended before.
Since Liu Yizhen returned to Jiankang, the only forces he has offended are that group of people——
Family.
Opening up the mountains, rivers and forests and restricting slaves have seriously damaged the interests of the aristocratic family.
These are all unstable factors. Maybe Liu Yu wants to use this time to find out all the families who are dissatisfied with him?
Here, Li Shun is on the first floor and wants to drive Liu Yizhen out of Jiankang.
The family is on the second floor and wants to borrow Li Shun, and warns Liu Yu by driving away Liu Yizhen.
The man behind the scenes is on the third level. He has united a group of "anti-Liu Yizhen" forces for an unknown purpose.
Liu Yu is on the fourth floor and wants to use this incident to bring out all the aristocratic families who oppose him.
Liu Yizhen... is still a tool man.
But now that Liu Yizhen has figured out everything, he wants to do the fifth level.
As long as he can find out who is behind the scenes, Liu Yizhen can take the mastermind to the second level and let Liu Yu take action against him.
Be sure to find out who is messing with him!
But for now, Liu Yu is still allowed to close the net with peace of mind.
Liu Yizhen immediately responded to Da Honglu: "I do have the idea of continuing to leave Zhenbei Xinjiang."
As soon as this statement came out, many people showed joy.
"but……"
Liu Yizhen pointed at an inconspicuous official: "To be honest, not long ago I proposed marriage to the noble daughter of the Wang family in Langya, and the wedding will be held soon. Right? Wang Tingwei?"
It was Wang Hong's younger brother Wang Yu who was being accused. He looked at the people around him with some embarrassment: "It's true...it's true."
There are three chapters tonight, and I think it would be more appropriate to post them together. I will publish one chapter first for the time being.
Chapter completed!
