Right Prime Minister Yuan Bolang and Censor Min Shaoqing each submitted a merit and punishment for civil servants and military generals in this battle. The most important one is the evaluation of the merits and deeds of Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo. When the King of Dingguo suppressed the rebellion, the Marquis of Dingguo refused to lead troops south by the imperial edict. Afterwards, he was reluctant to be loyal to the new emperor, but he made an act of unauthorized transfer of troops. These are all manifestations of the unjust intention.

Yuan Bolang decided that Liu Zhao would be punished with his merits and demerits, and did not mention Liu Yu. Min Shaoqing decided that Liu Zhao would not obey the emperor's order and sentenced him to the crime and reduce his military title and salary for the people, but did not mention Liu Yu.

The ball was shot back to the new emperor, one was a "leniency" for Liu Zhao, and the other was a "small punishment and great commandment" for Liu Zhao. The very subtle relationship between the court was very, I'm afraid even Liu Zhao would not have expected these two judges who were appointed to be so easy to speak.

The new emperor did not react, but summoned Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, to the palace to discuss matters. Liu Zhao was also personally questioned by the new emperor. When Liu Zhao came out of Yaqian Hall again, his military uniform had been removed. At this time, most court officials understood that the emperor took retreat as an advance and asked Liu Zhao to resign himself and return to his hometown, resolving the biggest crisis after the new emperor ruled the world.

In conviction, the new emperor adopted Yuan Bolang's opinion, but used Min Shaoqing's "sentence" and was not guilty but sentenced. He set a precedent for inconsistent situations and completely drove Liu Zhao from the court at one time, and even Liu Zhao's title was deprived. But a discerning person could also notice that since this matter did not involve Liu Yu, it would be close to Liu Yu's title of marquis and prime ministers, and there was no loss for the Liu clan. It was just that a new generation replaced the old ones.

The reward has not yet begun, and the punishment has begun. Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, was the first sword of the new emperor.

In addition to Liu Zhao, there were many officials and military generals who were punished in this war. These people were mainly generals from all over the Central Plains, who either slacked off against the enemy or rebelled against the enemy and joined the Huai Army. Many of them died before the imperial army was over. The subsequent punishment was to pursue the punishment, which would implicate the family of the perpetrator. Overall, the new emperor seemed very lenient in punishing the wronged personnel, and did not hold on to some minor mistakes. Some officials and military generals who had to surrender were mostly sent to serve as soldiers, and very few were beheaded and confiscated.

After the imperial court issued a list of punishing officials and sentencing, the vanguard general Liu Yu finally walked out of the house for the first time after returning to Chang'an City with the imperial carriage. This time he went to the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion.

Because Liu Zhao was deposed from military status, several sons who were officials and military personnel were dismissed from office. The Liu family completely lost power in Chang'an City, and the whole family was moved back to their hometown in Hanzhong. Liu Yu came this time to see off his family.

When Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu and his wife came to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, the whole family was in chaos. Many maids and servants had to move with their families. Some of them had privately escaped these days. Some were short-term workers hired by the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, which would not accompany them this time and would be dismissed. In addition, the transfer and sale of land around Chang'an City and the change of tenants were difficult to take into account in a hurry, which made the Dingguo Marquis Mansion a mess, and many people who knew and didn't know were in and out. Outside the yard were carriages, while in the yard there were garbage in pieces without cleaning.

When they saw Liu Yu and his wife, they saluted politely and sneered at each other without knowing each other.

In the eyes of his family, if Liu Yu made great contributions, he should come forward to protect the marquis of the State of Ding, but this time Liu Yu chose to avoid courting, and no one was seen in the limelight. This annoyed the brothers and concubines in the family, and said that Liu Yu was ungrateful. In fact, if Liu Yu was not there, at least he would have to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan on Liu Zhao's charge.

"Oh! Twelve Brothers, why do you have time to go back to the house to see you? Your illness is better?" The second brother Liu Ting hated Liu Yu's inaction the most. He heard that Liu Yu was back and was the first to come out to find fault.

Liu Yu was used to the cold words of his family. Anyone with some status at home followed the leader of the Marquis of Dingguo. The Marquis of Dingguo was cold to Liu Yu, so they had never given Liu Yu a good face before. It was like Liu Ting who had returned from a life out of Tongguan. He had to cry at Liu Yu's mansion before. Now he knew that he would definitely not have the position to be guaranteed, so he lost his perfunctory patience with Liu Yu.

Liu Yu didn't want to argue with Liu Ting, and asked calmly: "Where is my father now?"

"My father doesn't want to see you, please come back early!" Liu Ting said coldly.

At this time, Liu Yu's elder brother Liu He came out of the main hall, waved his hand and drove Liu Ting away, and said to Liu Yu: "Twelfth brother, my father is waiting for you in the inner hall."

Since Liu Yu decided to come back, he was about to make things clear to his father. His family and the people in the court did not know that Liu Zhao wanted to rebel with the sixth prince Su Jian, but it did not mean that Liu Yu did not know. There is no airtight wall in the world. Liu Yu chose to remain silent this time, which was largely a consideration of his own situation. Once he seemed to maintain his family and ignore the laws and regulations of the court, he would not have the prestige to cure the army.

Of course, Liu Yu would never sit idly by and watch the family collapse completely. As long as he is there, as long as Yuan Bolang and Min Shaoqing discuss the punishment plan for the Marquis of Dingguo, there will always be Marquis of Baoding. Liu Yu did not come forward in person but was secretly working for the family.

Dingguohou's hair was completely white, and he sat upright on the stool in the inner hall with his beard and eyebrows, holding the table with his hands. Although he looked quite imposing, he could clearly feel that he was old and vicissitudes of life. Seeing Liu Yu entering the door, Dingguohou raised his eyes slightly and said, "Sit!"

Liu Yu and Liu Zhao sat down to discuss matters, which was something that had never happened before. The Marquis of Dingguo lived in military service for half his life and was extremely arbitrary. Whether in the army or at home, he had to be an absolute authority and talk about it.

No matter how proud or stands out from the crowd, there will always be abdication.

Liu Yu sat down, and the father and son sat opposite each other, but seemed to have nothing to say. After a while of silence, Liu Zhao asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Are you here to see off your father?"

"Yes!" Liu Yu nodded.

"Oh!" Liu Zhao sighed, threw a contract-like thing in his hand on the table in front of Liu Yu, and said, "This is the house deed and land deed of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion. It is too late to sell it. I will give it to you. You can do whatever you want. With you here, I will finally leave some seeds for our Liu family in the Dashun court."

Liu Yuzheng thought that Liu Zhao had changed his character, so he finally looked up to him. He was moved by picking up the house deed and land deeds. Liu Zhaoxu said: "In the future, your nephews will take more fame and military status and you will take care of them!"

Liu Yu immediately felt very shocked, so he gave him the house deeds and land deeds at home for a long time, but he just asked for something. These house deeds and land deeds were considered as exchanges of interests at most.

Since Liu Zhao lost power and Liu Yu, as the hope of the Liu family in the capital, he cannot ignore the matters of the descendants of the Liu family in the future. Liu Yu nodded and agreed.

Liu Zhao had never said soft words to his family. After this time, seeing Liu Yu agreeing readily, he didn't have that much burden. He sighed and said, "It's not even possible to calculate it. The first emperor actually passed the throne to the useless ninth prince at the time of his death. What he didn't expect was that the minister of the regent he appointed was actually you. As a father, he always thought that the first emperor was confused and did something stupid when he was old. Now it seems that the first emperor is really foresighted. If it were other princes, none of them would be the opponent of King Huai. But the current emperor and my son did it!"

Liu Yu thought about this again, as if he was praising him. When he looked at Liu Zhao's proud look on his face, he would undoubtedly praise him.

"It's still my father's teaching skills on weekdays!" At this time, Liu Yu gave a compliment.

"Teaching?" Liu Zhao smiled, "When did you teach you for your father?"

Liu Yu was speechless immediately. When Liu Zhao saw him, he was too lazy to even say something. Even when he was the right commander of the Imperial Guard, Liu Zhao still looked down on him very much. Liu Zhao rarely stayed at home and had many children, so he really couldn't take care of both.

Liu Zhaoxu said: "Being a father used to be confused about why the former emperor reused it to you. Now, for a father, you must honestly answer. Have you experienced the war on the bank of Kuishui River last year?"

"Yes!" Liu Yu said bluntly.

Liu Zhao said relievedly: "No wonder. My father always thought that the young daughter of the Xu family was capable and that her daughter could do things that a man could not do. Later, my father checked in detail that the female army suffered heavy losses in that war, and that it was unreasonable to win a great victory in such a situation. It is said that some local soldiers and generals in Huaixi County were promoted at that time. Only from their mouths did the father know that there was something else. Unexpectedly, I was a dignified Marquis of Dingguo and stood in the army with my horse. The most promising son among my sons would be a weak and sick person. It is ridiculous, a pity!"

Liu Yu thought about these words again, half of them were praises and half of them were harming him. The sick person described him as the only one who used to be Liu Yu, and he had nothing to do with him now. He had a body and two brains, and he could not be considered a person at all.

Liu Yu finally understood why Liu Zhao changed his view of him this time. In the past, Liu Zhao looked down on him because he felt that he had risen to the top with Xu Xuan's relationship. Perhaps because he was very good at speaking and doing things, he was entrusted by the late emperor with important tasks as a slander. Now he knew that he was repeatedly valued because of his contributions and was able to do things that others could not reach, and he sighed in his heart.

"When will that boy Qi Fang come back?" Liu Zhao asked suddenly.

"It should be soon." Liu Yu said, "After the front line, he will be transferred to the capital to serve."

"You should keep a few more trusted people by your side. Otherwise, the power in your hands will be kept on being verbal by those civil servants. You have suffered this loss before as a father, so you should take it as a warning!"

Liu Yu heard that this was out of concern and nodded gratefully.

"Your sister and your little nephew will not go back to their hometown with your father. They will stay in Chang'an City for a while. You need to take more care of it!" Liu Zhaoxu said.

Liu Yu nodded quickly, which means that Liu Zhao had already agreed to the marriage between Liu Jue and Qi Fang. The miserable couple finally got together after experiencing disasters.

"Go back soon." Liu Zhao seemed to have issued an order to expel guests, but Liu Yu knew that Liu Zhao didn't want Liu Yu to see his family moving down and down. "Marry more beautiful wives and concubines, and get a lot of branches for our Liu family earlier. The rise and fall of our Liu family will be entrusted to you alone. Don't follow the old path of being a father!"
