The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 337 Willing to be on Duty in the Palace

Lu Bu clasped his fists and saluted, but Liu Hong didn't answer, thinking that he was deceiving him deliberately.It wasn't until Lu Bu greeted him loudly again that Liu Hong was sure that Lu Bu had really recognized him.

At this time, there is still a small piece of incense burning in the incense burner.

After being identified by Lu Bu, the young emperor got up and walked out of the booth, not only not annoyed, but laughed very heartily, obviously very happy.

Zhang Rang also came this way, Liu Hong looked at the chief attendant, and said with a smile: "Father, you lost!"

"Your Majesty's sage shines alone, there is no one in the world who can win His Majesty." Zhang Rang bowed and smiled apologetically.

Looking at Lu Bu who was still bowed in front of the booth, Liu Hong raised his hand, looking very approachable: "Lv Qingping, this is not the Chongde Palace, so there is no need for so many red tapes."

Only then did Lu Bu straighten up. The emperor did not shout, and the courtiers were not allowed to make their own decisions.Even if you hunched over until dark, you had to stand there obediently.

Otherwise, it is a crime of disrespect.

"Just now when you came, Father made a bet with me. He said that if Lu Qing could find me in Guilin Garden, I would win. On the other hand, if you couldn't find me, you would have to punish me with the court stick." Fifty."

Liu Hong walked out of the booth and walked on the gray-white street paved with fine sand and gravel, walking forward with his hands behind his back, followed by Lu Bu and Zhang Rang.

The emperor said casually, but to Lu Bu, the feeling in his heart can be described as turbulent waves.

If Cai hadn't been quick-witted just now, I'm afraid he would have been ordered to be punished by now.Even if you don't die with fifty court sticks, you will have to lie on the bed for several months.

This old eunuch is really vicious!

Feeling cold in his heart, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhang Rang, and it happened that the Great Attendant also looked over.Looking at each other, Lu Bu's eyes showed a little more anger, while under Zhang Rang's wrinkled eyelids, there was more of an elusive smile.

"Lu Qing, I'm very curious, how did you distinguish me among hundreds of people." Liu Hong's voice separated the eyes of the two.

If Zhang Rang answered this question, he would definitely say, "Your Majesty's [-]th Lord, there is a real dragon hovering on the top of the place where you are, and you can see it even thousands of miles away," or "Your Majesty is wearing a red dragon." Mang, like a saint in the world, even the blind can see it, let alone a minister! '

Naturally, Lu Bu had never learned the skill of flattering a horse, so when he truthfully told the emperor the method he had just thought of, the moody young emperor turned sullen.

Those five little eunuchs who wanted to use this to win the emperor's favor, but they stole chickens and lost money, suffered an unreasonable disaster, they were all dragged down to the court for [-] years, beaten to pieces as punishment.

Approaching the pavilion carved with flying dragons, Liu Hong raised his clothes and knelt on the soft cattail in the pavilion. Zhang Rang took the soup from the hand of Huangmen beside him and handed it to the emperor.

"Lu Qing, do you know why I called you into the palace?" The emperor said casually, blowing on the slightly hot soup.

"I don't know." Lu Bu answered honestly.

"I heard that you had conflicts with the Huns in Wuyuan, is there such a thing?" The emperor sipped a sip of soup, put the exquisite jade porcelain bowl on the stone table in front of him, and asked indifferently.

When Lu Bu heard this, he clasped his hands together and said 'yes'.

This incident was originally a small friction on the border, but I never thought that it would be stabbed to the emperor. If there is no one involved, no one will believe it if killed.

"Then you know, you almost caused a military disaster to the Han Dynasty." The emperor's tone added two points of solemnity.

"I know." Lu Bu replied respectfully without making any excuses.

If Hou Bu Gudu couldn't bear that tone back then, and chose to fight to the death, the war between Wuyuan and Shuofang may have rekindled at this time.

"General Lu, you can't bring huge disasters to the court because of your personal honor and disgrace! Once there is a war, do you know how much burden it will add to the court, and how many innocent people will be destroyed, their wives and children will be scattered and their families will be destroyed? ?”

Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Rang put on a look of pity for the world and the people. Fortunately, he was able to say such unconscionable words without blushing.

Lu Bu didn't respond to Zhang Rang, he knew very well that if he compared his tricks with this old eunuch, he would definitely hit a stone with an egg.He looked at the emperor, and said in a strong voice, "If your Majesty wants to punish the minister for this, I am willing to accept the crime and be punished, but I have something in my heart, and I can't express it."

Seeing that Liu Hong didn't make a sound to stop him, Lu Bu went on to say: "I thought that the Huns defected to my great man decades ago and lived as nomads in the Shuofang area. The side was first, and he slaughtered hundreds of Han people in Wuyuan without authorization. The minister was deeply favored by heaven, and he was appointed General Du Liao and envoy to the Huns. If he just sits idly by and allows him to slaughter the common people of the Han, wouldn't that be an insult to His Majesty? Well, let the common people down."

As early as when Wuyuan was in Wuyuan, the plot had already been calculated. If the emperor called Lu Bu to Beijing from a long distance, if it was just to punish him, there was no need to waste such trouble.

Now that the emperor mentions this matter, it means that what Lu Bu did at that time was at least in line with what the emperor thought.

"Forgive me for having the courage to say a word that exceeds your authority. Whether it is a Xianbei, a Hun or a Wuhuan, in the eyes of this minister, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different!"

After speaking, Lu Bu voluntarily knelt down, knocked his head on the ground, and waited for the emperor to punish him.

After hearing this, Liu Hong not only did not have the slightest intention of blaming, but instead slapped his palm on the table vigorously, his face full of excitement, and he praised him a lot: "Okay! It's a good sentence, 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different'. Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with you."

Zhang Rang on the side wanted to continue to add insult to injury, but after hearing Liu Hong's praise, he immediately changed his tone and laughed along with him, "General Lu, you did the right thing, and the worst thing you can do is to show mercy to these foreigners. Your Majesty's talent is testing you."

"Get up, Lu Qing's family."

Liu Hong gave Lu Bu a seat again, and the more he looked at this resolute young general, the more he liked it.According to his age, he was only three years older than Lu Bu.

"Lu Qing, why don't you leave Luoyang when you come back, and stay in the palace on duty, how about it?"

Liu Hong asked Lu Bu with a smile. As the No.1 of the Han Dynasty, he was able to take the initiative to solicit opinions from his subordinates, which was considered to be enough for Lu Bu.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu and Zhang Rang were both shocked.

"Your Majesty, I have a reckless and blunt temperament. If I am on duty in the palace, I may offend the nobles in the palace. I implore Your Majesty to release the minister to Wuyuan. I am willing to guard the frontier for your Majesty from generation to generation and drive out the barbarians."

Lu Bu, who had just sat down, stood up again, bowing and cupping his fists.
