Chapter 168 The place where the shock changed Luoyang fell!
"Father, what should fifth brother say? You should make an idea as soon as possible. The carriage and horses have been parked at the manor outside the city for several days. We cannot continue to be in this stalemate. In my opinion, it is better to let him come back.
, Now people inside and outside Chang'an are thinking of ways to cling to the Marquis of Dingxiang!"
In the inner hall of the Liu family, Liu Ting made an anxious suggestion: "We have an advantage now. The fifth brother took the initiative to get closer when all parties were talking about it. This is a timely help. He is always better than others!"
There was urgency in his words.
Opposite him, his father Liu Quan frowned and was silent, obviously weighing in his mind.
Next to him, Liu Xin whispered: "It's better to change suddenly, otherwise with the temper of the fifth brother, this tail will be raised again, and there is no guarantee that other things will not happen."
Liu Ting frowned and said: "Now is not the time to think about this. Earlier in the Privy Council, Marquis Dingxiang even hinted, and many people were present. It is the time to strike while the iron is hot..."
Liu Xin interrupted: "Fourth brother, you were very frightened at that time. You even asked someone to come back to report it. I hope your family can find a solution."
"It turns out that before this method could be thought of, Marquis Dingxiang over there was strategizing and laying out the overall situation!" Liu Ting retorted coldly, "Previously, the Privy Council was very strict, and even when I was passing on news, it had to be verified repeatedly. In the end, I took a trick.
, it also took the family a few days to figure it out, but now it seems that it is not a bad thing. Now that the Privy Council is a little more relaxed, I came out immediately because I didn’t want to delay this situation!"
"Yes," Liu Quan suddenly nodded and said, "Since the Privy Council has released people, it means that the war is really going to calm down. In this case, it is not impossible to let brother Xi come back. It's just that he is confused after all. If he doesn't know what to do,
Based on experience, I feel that this is the right thing to do. If I try it next time, I won’t be so lucky..."
As soon as he said this, his two sons understood what he meant.
Liu Xin said: "Then let him wait at the manor first, just to temper his temper."
Liu Tingze said: "He also has servants over there. The guards will report the news. He must have known about the changes in Chang'an. He may have lost his temper for a long time. It's better to come home, where his father can scare him and leave him alone."
It’s really hard to tell from the outside.”
Liu Quan waved his hand and said: "We have to make him lose his temper. I will tell you not to inform him at will, but also to keep a strict guard on him and not let him leave without permission!"
Liu Quan's order continued to have an effect for several days.
But it was only for a few days.
Five days later, in the Liu family's manor outside the city, Liu Xi, who had been feeling depressed for a long time, finally waited for a steward of the family to arrive. Knowing that he could leave the manor, he called his wife and children without any delay, and hurriedly boarded the house.
carriage.
However, on the carriage, the steward of the Liu family was still telling him: "The master said that after you go back, young master, you must calm down first and go to the Marquis Mansion in person in the evening to deliver the greeting card!"
"I know, I know!" Liu Xi complained quite complaining, "Really, the family just doesn't have the courage. It's at this time and they are still suppressing me. If I hadn't taken the lead, our Liu family would have had this opportunity.
Be the first to get close to the Marquis?"
The manager of the Liu family said: "I am free to consider this matter..."
Liu Xi waved his hands and said: "What's the consideration? It's not that my brothers don't want to see me succeed and want to suppress me. By the way, what's the situation in the city now? I've only heard a little bit. I think your Majesty has promoted the marquis according to military merit.
Is it okay?"
"This credit has been shared by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and I heard that it was Marquis Dingxiang who took the initiative to give up the credit." The steward said something, and when Liu Xi wanted to ask more questions, he added, "These will wait for you when you get home.
, the master will explain it in detail."
"Oh," Liu Xi originally heard that the credit was divided between civil and military officials, and thought that Li Huai was being robbed of credit and suppressed. He was shocked, but looking at the steward's expression, he nodded and said, "It seems that Mr. Hou
I didn’t suffer a loss either. With such great ability, sitting in Chang’an City, I defeated the rebel army. No one would dare to neglect me easily! However, I also know the temperament of those in the court, and most of them are forced to do so.
, they all couldn’t wait to jump out!”
As he spoke, he asked again: "By the way, I don't have good news in Zhuangzi. Has the Luo thief been arrested? When will it be sent to Chang'an? Or has it been sent?"
The steward shook his head and said: "Young masters don't even know about such important military and national affairs, how can a villain know about it?"
While the two were talking, the bumpy carriage suddenly stopped, and then a man eagerly opened the curtain and shouted to the people sitting in the carriage: "Something happened! Young Master! The Lord asked me to tell you, Na Luo
The thieves led the barbarians to break through the pass, and then united with a group of bandits to capture Luoyang!"
"What?" Liu Xi and the steward were both startled.
Afterwards, Liu Xi swallowed and asked in shock: "What's going on? Is there another rebellion?"
"It's still the Luo thieves!" The reporter was sweating profusely and panting, but he still managed to explain, "The Luo thieves colluded with foreigners, evildoers and bandits, and captured many people to drive them away. I don't know what treacherous tricks they used.
They actually captured Luoyang!"
"Luo Thief?" Liu Xi's face was full of doubts and confusion, suspecting that he was dreaming, "Hasn't Luo Thief been defeated a long time ago? How did he get to you, not only was he not caught, but he also captured Luoyang? What kind of mess is this?
Are you pretending to be from my Liu family?"
"I don't dare!" The man immediately showed off a jade pendant, "The Lord specifically asked me to inform the young master. As for the detailed military situation, there is no way to know."
"Really?" Liu Xi's legs suddenly went weak, "Then... what should we do? Just now we said that the Marquis had made a meritorious service, but in the blink of an eye, Luoyang was conquered by the bandit army. This is a big deal! I... I am like this
It’s better to go to the ancestral land, if we are involved, if we are implicated, it will be difficult for this family to talk about it!"
"No, no, no!" the informant said quickly, "My Lord hopes that you can go to the Marquis Mansion as soon as possible to meet with the Marquis! You are the closest to him, and you even helped him in the beginning. I believe that the Marquis will definitely meet you!
"
"You are still going to the Marquis Mansion now? Isn't this asking for trouble? The Luo thieves have already defeated Luoyang, and the Marquis of Dingxiang who was planning it before, isn't it... wrong!"
Liu Xi was from a wealthy family after all. Even though he was in a panic now, he still knew some trends and details.
"Give credit!" He suddenly woke up and looked at the steward, "The situation was very good before, but Marquis Dingxiang gave away the credit. This...could this be expected? Or is it that the Marquis has clearly laid a good foundation?
As a result, the civil and military forces of the DPRK were forced to retire, and the situation was ruined by these civil and military groups?"
"You will only know all this when you meet the Marquis!" The messenger reminded again, "The Lord asked you to go at full speed. Such a big thing has happened. The court and the court are still quarreling, but I think the government will soon have to go.
The Marquis of Dingxiang has been summoned..."
