Chapter 192 Shooting a Deer (2)(1/2)
Why did Zhuge Liang come?
Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
It must be because the family was worried about their safety, so Zhuge Liang came over. Liu Chuang came to Xu Du and only brought fifty flying bear cavalry. How could the family feel at ease? Send others to come? It is estimated that at this time, the Beihai Kingdom was in chaos. Everyone got Liu Chuang's letter and thought they had already started preparations according to Liu Chuang's arrangements, so after calculating, it seemed that Zhuge Liang could only be sent out to help.
In a flash, two years.
The little tail that liked to follow him at the beginning was unknown what it had turned into.
After returning from Xuzhou in the second year of Jian'an, Zhuge Liang returned to Zheng Xuan to continue his studies, and later followed Zheng Xuan to go there.
"Hengruo, you immediately take my name and go to the Shangshu Mansion to find Xun Yu.
I said that I had a team of followers coming soon, so I asked him to send someone to inform me and take care of him along the way."
Xiahou Lan quickly took the token and went to find Xun Yu, while Liu Chuang wandered around the house.
After a while, someone said outside the house: "Uncle Qi reported to me, there is a man named Guo Yuan outside, who said he was ordered by Zhong Shizhong to come to see the house with you."
Liu Chuang walked out of the room and saw Du Ji standing with his hands down.
At that moment, he greeted Du Ji and said, "Hou Bo, you will accompany the public assistant to see the house later. If you have anything to buy, please explain directly to the public assistant. In addition, since you want to do something for me, just move it from the threshing farm. I heard Hengruo say that the environment on the threshing farm is very harsh, and it is necessary for the young master to be born, so it is better to move it over and do things."
Since Du Ji has agreed to do things for Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang has to consider Du Ji's life.
After listening to Liu Chuang's order, Du Ji did not refuse and agreed happily.
He first brought Guo Yuan to the inn to meet Liu Chuang. After Liu Chuang had a conversation with Guo Yuan, Guo Yuan took Du Ji away.
After a while, the person sent by Xun Yu to teach Liu Chuang's etiquette also came to the inn.
Liu Chuang studied with him for a whole day, and finally figured out the procedures of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and then respectfully sent the person away.
The next day, Liu Chuang took his people away from the inn and headed straight to the mansion that Zhong Yao gave him.
Beixuli, also known as Xudu Beishi, belongs to a commercial district.
There are many shops around, and vendors are constantly commuting, which is extremely lively.
No wonder Zhong Yao doesn’t like living here, Beixuli is indeed a bit noisy.
However, for Liu Chuang, the noise in Beixuli did not have much impact. Because the mansion that Zhong Yao sent him was five in front and behind. The courtyard was deep. When he walked into the mansion, he closed the door and blocked the noise and noise in Beixuli from outside the door.
Du Ji had moved here and lived in the second room.
Liu Chuang looked at the structure of the courtyard and moved Du Ji to the Sanjin courtyard.
"Meng Yan. Do you want to buy some slaves?"
Fifty flying bears rode into Zhong Mansion, and they could not even fill the courtyard as soon as they entered the courtyard.
Looking at the empty yard, Guo Yuan couldn't help but suggest, "Now you can buy a lot of slaves and servants from Luoyang, and many of them worked in wealthy families. Dong Zhuo disrupted the court and moved the wealthy Luoyang family to Chang'an, so many people stayed in Luoyang. Although Sikong has ordered people to rest and recuperate Luoyang, it is still dilapidated. From there, you can spend a little money to buy the staff."
Liu Chuang thought about it and waved his hand, "Forget it, I will have three hundred iron armored guards in two days to arrive in Xudu. It will be almost enough to move in when I move in. I am not from a wealthy family. If there are too many servants and I feel uncomfortable, it is better to let my entourage serve you."
Guo Yuan laughed when he heard this.
"Since that's the case, then follow what Meng Yan said."
He helped Liu Chuang sort out again and then said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he told Liu Chuang that he would go to the Wu Gate to wait at the Chou time, and the Han Emperor would invite him to the palace at the Yin time.
Liu Chuang thanked him again and sent Guo Yuan out.
He sat in the middle hall, looking at the gorgeous mansion, and suddenly his lips curled up and showed a strange smile: Could it be that my uncle is going to use rich clothes and food to wipe out my ambitions? If that's all, I'm afraid that in the end, my uncle's all kinds of calculations will only be in vain.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The fourth year of Jian'an, accompanied by the sound of bells.
Liu Chuang kept in mind the instructions of Xun Yu and others, and came outside the Meridian Gate to wait for the summoning.
On the first day of the New Year, the weather is still very cold.
Fortunately, Liu Chuang was prepared and waited outside the Meridian Gate for an hour before the palace gate opened. The Emperor of Han ordered people to call Liu Chuang to wait in Chengguang Palace.
Yuxiutai is located in the southwest of the imperial city.
It is fifteen meters high and two hundred meters wide, and the weather is solemn.
Emperor Han was dressed in a good manner, and all the officials of the martial arts followed him.
After coming to Yuxiu Stage, Liu Chuang followed the Han Emperor to Yuxiu Stage and saw flags standing on all sides of the platform, waving in the wind.
The palace maids and eunuchs had already been waiting on the high platform.
When the sun was rising, the Emperor of Han stood alone in the center of the altar and recited the sacrifice loudly.
The content is nothing more than words like protecting the Han Dynasty forever and blessing the good weather this year. Liu Chuang had figured out the procedures for sacrifice before, so he crawled on the ground and listened to the slightly tender recitation of the Han Emperor, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
When the sun rises from the horizon, a red sun comes out majestic.
The body of Emperor Han seemed to be shrouded in the sunshine by a layer of golden light. Under Yuxiu, Wu Baiguan was at the same time, and it also represented the end of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
In the morning sun, the sacrifice turned into blue smoke and rose up.
But no matter how Liu Chuang looked, he seemed to have a declining aura.
The face of Emperor Han was filled with a stern look.
"Marquis Guanting, follow me to the Taimiao."
After worshiping the heaven and earth, worshiping ancestors.
Of course, the Taimiao in Xudu Imperial City was built by Cao Cao after he moved the capital. Whether in terms of scale or momentum, it is far inferior to the Taimiao in Luoyang. However, the Taimiao in Luoyang has long been turned into ruins. Who knows now?
A group of royal families had already gathered outside the Taimiao.
Emperor Liu Xie and Zong Zheng walked into the Taimiao together, and Liu Chuang followed closely behind them.
Xudu's royal family has a large number, about two or three hundred.
However, there are very few people who can enter the Taimiao to worship their ancestors... If you want to enter the Taimiao to worship, it depends on your status and identity in the royal family. Logically speaking, Liu Chuang is not qualified to enter the Taimiao to worship. But because he is the emperor's uncle, he has obtained the corresponding qualification. Liu Bei has been included in the clan's mansion and returned to the clan's family. But as Fu Wan and Liu Chuang promised before, Liu Bei would never be allowed to have his identity higher than Liu Chuang. In this way, Liu Bei was not even summoned by the Emperor of Han, and he was not qualified to enter the Taimiao.
In the Taimiao, after worshiping his ancestors, the Emperor of Han couldn't help crying loudly.
Liu Chuang followed the other royal families and knelt in the Taimiao. He felt very bored and heard the crying sounds. He felt really depressed.
Looking around, except for the young Emperor of Han, most of the other royal families were old and couldn't help but sigh in secret.
How could this old, young, be Cao Cao's opponent?
"Marquis Guanting. Stay behind."
After the worship ended, Liu Chuang was already hungry.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the Emperor of Han call his name and hurried forward.
But the Emperor of Han held the Liu Chuang family genealogy and placed it under the tablet of Emperor Gaozu.
"Marty Guanting, I understand your intentions.
I will make arrangements for the position of Huwuhuan Captain, so please do not worry. Now the branch of King Li of Huainan has returned to the royal family. From now on, I hope that the emperor can do his best to the Han Dynasty, which will be a blessing for the Han Dynasty. However, if the emperor wants to escape, he still needs to plan his own plan.
Although I am helping each other, but…”
Emperor Han pulled Liu Chuang and saluted in front of the tablet of Emperor Gaozu, whispering in a voice that only two people could hear.
Liu Chuang also whispered behind the Emperor of Han: "Please rest assured that Chuang was a Han family member and a Han ghost who died, and he would not let down His Majesty's entrustedness."
In the Taimiao, God knows if there are Cao Cao's eyes and ears.
Emperor Han wanted to say more to Liu Chuang, but he was afraid of being noticed, so he could only be concise. Liu Chuang's loyalty made Emperor Han feel very comfortable.
The sacrifice to heaven and ancestor worship ended, and it was already afternoon.
Liu Chuang followed the Han Emperor out of Taimiao and met with the royal family, then immediately dispersed.
He saw Liu Bei in the crowd.
Unexpectedly, Liu Da'er had good luck, and he went around and eventually became a royal family. Although he did not gain the name of the emperor's uncle, his identity as the royal family could add a lot of color to him. Liu Chuang was very curious. If he had not known the name of the emperor's uncle, what achievements would Liu Bei have achieved?
Unfortunately, he can't be killed!
But having such a person attracts Cao Cao's attention outside is not a bad thing for Liu Chuang.
However, as the Emperor of Han said, he could not live in Xudu for a long time... and then went to the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and worshiping the Taimiao with the Emperor of Han, so he must have a lot of reputation. Next, he should try to leave Xudu as soon as possible, but how to leave Xudu? Liu Chuang still felt that it was a bit troublesome.
Cao Cao could not let Liu Chuang go easily.
Didn't see that Liu Chuang wanted to move his grave in Luoyang, and Cao Cao tried to stop him? This shows that Cao Cao is very afraid of Liu Chuang now. Unless Cao Cao can relieve his guard against Liu Chuang, it would be very difficult to leave Xu Du. Learn from Liu Bei to grow vegetables at home and be with the light? Liu Chuang doesn't think that his actions can eliminate his fear and may even arouse Cao Cao's intention to kill him.
The same strategy depends on who will use it.
At least in Liu Chuang's opinion, if he uses this strategy, he will inevitably cause death.
However, Liu Chuang wanted to leave, but was stopped by Cao Cao.
It turned out that after the ceremony of worshiping the sky, Emperor Han still had a palace banquet, inviting all officials of Wu to attend.
As the uncle of the Han Dynasty and the prime minister of the North Sea, Liu Chuang naturally cannot be absent.
In desperation, Liu Chuang had to wait for the banquet to start in the wing room outside the Golden Palace. However, in this room, there was no acquaintance. Liu Chuang stood alone in a corner of the wing room, looking at the group of Ministers Wu, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
