Chapter 51 Liu Xiu bides his time
  On the sky screen, a terrain map jumped out and unfolded itself.

On the map, a head with a crown and a head with a blackened wreath were suspended above the word Wancheng.

All the emperors watching the sky screen instantly understood that these were Liu Xuan and the dead Liu Yan.

Then his eyes slid along the northeast direction of Wancheng, where is Kunyang and the father city next to Kunyang.

And Liu Xiu's avatar is here taking out two swords and waving them.

……

[When Liu Yan was killed, Liu Xiu had already captured Yingyang and was attacking his father's city. 】

[Although Father City was not captured, Liu Xiu captured a man named Feng Yi here. 】

[Feng Yi, ranked seventh among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. 】

[When facing Feng Yi, whom he met for the first time, Liu Xiu also showed his talent in knowing and employing people. 】

[When Feng Yi, who was tied up by the prisoners, said to Liu Xiu: I have an old mother at home alone, please let me go back to take care of her, and I will lobby the five nearby cities to surrender in return]

[Ordinary people will sneer at this statement. You think I am a fool, right? 】

[But Liu Xiu is not an ordinary person. He directly said: Stop talking, I believe you! Feng Yi was released on the spot! 】

[Feng Yi was stunned. The speed of your agreement and your release were too fast? How much trust this shows in me! 】

[I have to say that the old Liu family is a bit like succubi. 】

[After Feng Yi returned, he really convinced the nearby city guarding officials and people to bring five cities to surrender. 】

[But when he returned to Kunyang to find Liu Xiu with "sincerity", he found that Liu Xiu was gone. 】

……

{Overcoming thorns and thorns, what is lost is harvested in the east! }
  {The big tree misses Feng Yi, Gantang recalls Zhao Gong. }
  {General Dashu! (Make a call)}
  {Unfortunately, this is the emperor's inventory, otherwise these good ministers and generals could really talk a lot! }

{Among the many famous generals throughout the ages, there are many who have higher military exploits than Feng Yi, but in terms of the perfection of both political and political integrity, civil and military skills, and military and civilian management, Feng Yi can be said to be in the most prominent position! }
  {Feng Yi, he is considered the number one general under Liu Xiu. I remember that there is a general’s tomb in our village. It was excavated more than 20 years ago and everyone said it was Feng Yi’s tomb. It is said that there were a lot of copper coins and jars. I don’t know whether it is true or not. I was still young at that time. }
  ……

Big man,

"It seems that Feng Yi is one of Uncle Wen's famous generals."

"Yes, yes. If little faith fails, how can great faith be established?"

"Uncle Wen has learned the beauty of faith!"

Liu Bang threw away the empty wine bottle, held his hands and laughed.

Xiao He beside him was also smiling:
  "From this point of view, Emperor Guangwu is worthy of being a descendant of His Majesty."

"This trust is just like your Majesty's trust in the King of Chu back then."

Xiao He put his hands in his hands, recalling and sighing.

"It is with great merit that a general can be established. His Majesty's trustworthiness in employing people is why he has acquired such an effective general as Han Xin."

Hearing Xiao He's words, Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Seeing Liu Bang laughing, Xiao He looked confused.

"If you, Xiao He, hadn't recommended him, why would the guild believe him?! He really thinks that the general is a cabbage! It's not Han Xin who is trusted by the guild! It's you, Xiao He, who believes in him! Hahahaha!"

"His Majesty……"

Looking at Liu Bang, who had black hair and black beard, laughing wildly, Xiao He, who had white hair and wrinkles on his face, seemed to be touched.

'Old boy! Once these words come out, you must not work for Mr. Nai with all your heart! '

'Is this old rogue trying to fool me like a child? Forget it, bear with it, life will pass quickly. '

The two old foxes looked at each other and could see the "sincerity" in each other's eyes!
  Then they looked at each other and smiled.

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Heng looked up at the sky.

"I do have my father's ability to recognize people and his style of employing people."

"Is it any wonder that a posthumous title with a light character can lead to a good career?"

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Che touched his chin and pondered.

Do you believe him based on this one-sided statement? Although he proved himself later, was he too hasty? !
  I don’t understand, but I’m shocked!

……

[Of course Feng Yi could not find Liu Xiu in Kunyang, because at this time Liu Xiu had already learned about the murder of his eldest brother Liu Yan and returned to Wancheng. 】

[Liu Xiu actually had two choices at that time. 】

[The first is to leave the Green Forest Army and tell the world how Emperor Gengshi framed Liu Yan. 】

[The second is to go back to plead guilty and continue to attack Wang Mang with the Green Forest Army. 】

[We have no way of knowing what Liu Xiu was feeling at that time? 】

[It’s impossible to know how he considered it? But the clear record given in history books is that he chose the second option. 】

[Liu Xiu chose one person to return directly to Wancheng and apologize to Liu Xuan. 】

……

The playback continued on the marquee.

In Wancheng Palace,
  Liu Xiu, who was dressed in crimson and black, knelt on one knee and bowed his head.

Said to Liu Xuan who was sitting at the top:
  "My brother Liu Yan is rebellious and disrespectful. Your Majesty is merciful and merciful. He has not committed any crime against me."

"My lord, it is difficult to repay His Majesty's great kindness. I only wish to follow you through life and death to atone for my brother's sins!"

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground.

……

[After returning to Wancheng, Liu Xiu directly apologized to Liu Xuan and shied away from his contribution in the Battle of Kunyang, saying only that it was the contribution of Liu Xuan and the generals. 】

[Afterwards, I did not interact with Liu Yan’s soldiers, nor did I mourn for Liu Yan. I just did what I should do, "eating, talking and laughing as usual"]

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu, who was dressed in black court clothes, sat at the top, with his twelve crowns hanging down, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The ministers below looked at each other in confusion.

You Tianmu are so ignorant!

To take stock of the emperor’s achievements, take stock of his achievements!
  Why are you always making people sad?
  You are so unbecoming of a man!

Feng Yi couldn't help but wanted to get out of the queue, but Deng Yu grabbed his sleeve.

He looked at Deng Yu who shook his head at him, and then looked at the emperor who was sitting at the top and said nothing.

Feng Yi sighed slightly and sat down in his seat.

……

[Although Liu Xiu acted as if nothing happened during the day, at night he secretly cried alone, and his pillow mat was soaked with tears. 】

[Even if someone advised him to grieve as much as he wanted, he just replied not to lie. Never acknowledge his grief. 】

[In this way, Liu Xiu's "eating, talking and laughing as usual" made Liu Xuan lower his guard. 】

[Not only did he let down his guard, but he also felt ashamed because Liu Xiu was too humble. 】

[So after taking away Liu Xiu's military power, Liu Xiu was granted the title of General Polu and Marquis of Wuxin. 】

……

On the canopy,
  The luxurious courtyard is decorated with lights and streamers everywhere.

A newlywed couple is having a wedding.

The groom's upper body is in black, and his lower body is in black.

The bride wears gold jewelry and black clothes with black edges.

A spoonful of water flowed over the hands of the bride and groom, and then they dried their hands on the towels held by their respective attendants.

A ceremonial official wearing a mysterious robe held a jade tablet in his hand and shouted: "Wo Yu's ceremony is completed!"

Following the process of the ceremonial officer.

The newlyweds knelt in front of the desk again and sat opposite each other.

"The banquet is complete!"

They worshiped each other again.

"It's done!" A waiter placed a piece of cooked red meat and two cups on the table in front of the two of them.

The newlyweds each hold chopsticks and eat a piece of meat together.

Then each held a cup and drank the bitter wine together.

"The union is complete!"

A woman brought another lacquer plate. Inside the plate were two pairs of scissors with red thread wrapped handles, two red tassels, and two red brocade bags.

The newlyweds each cut off a lock of their own hair, tie it with a red tassel rope, and then put it in the brocade bag and hand it to the other party.

"The hair knot is done!"

Finally, the two people holding each other's hands looked at each other and smiled.

"Hand in hand, it's done!"

……

[Perhaps it was because of my dream of "marrying Yin Lihua as my wife". 】

[Maybe it’s because Liu Yan’s death made him feel that time waits for no one. 】

[Perhaps he wanted to further paralyze Liu Xuan and others. 】

[In June 23 AD, Liu Xiu decided to immediately marry Yin Lihua, a young lady from the Yin family in Xinye. 】

[And Liu Xiu's keeping a low profile also prevented Liu Xuan and others from paying attention to him. 】

[After stabilizing the internal problems of the reform regime, the Green Forest Army rushed to Chang'an in one go! 】

……

The map on the sky screen appears again.

Two groups of troops set out from Wancheng.

One group, led by Wang Kuang, went north to attack Luoyang, and the other group, led by Shen Tujian, set off to the northwest, passed Wuguan, and went straight to Chang'an.

……

[In September 23 AD, the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an. Wang Mang died in the melee, and the new dynasty was destroyed. 】

[In the same month, Luoyang was captured, and Liu Xuan sent Liu Xiu to Luoyang to repair the palace. 】

[On the way to Luoyang, Liu Xiu took back Feng Yi, who had been waiting for him in his father's city with his soldiers. 】

[And Feng Yi is indeed a trustworthy person. After persuading him to surrender to his father's city, he has been waiting for Liu Xiu in his father's city. 】

[And whether it is the new army who comes to persuade them to surrender or the Green Forest Army who comes to persuade them to surrender, he will fight whoever comes. 】

[The main focus is on a state that is difficult for anyone except Liu Xiuben Xiulai. He waited until Liu Xiu came to his father's city. 】

[When they arrived in Luoyang, the people of Luoyang shouted after seeing Liu Xiu's troops: "I don't want to see the majesty of the Han officials again today!"]

[This is because after the attack on Luoyang, the soldiers led by the generals of the Green Forest Army had no military discipline at all. The people of Luoyang are not optimistic about the Green Forest Army. 】

[It was not until Liu Xiu led his troops into Luoyang that the people of Luoyang became enlightened. Local officials and wealthy families in Luoyang were also optimistic about Liu Xiu and began to wait and see. 】

……

{Feng Yi is true and loyal to Liu Xiu! And brave and resourceful! }

{Liu Xiu’s charm is full of points! This is it! }
  {Are the Liu family all succubi? ! }

{The Battle of Hebei will be even more outrageous later! I suspect that the so-called Long Ao Tianwen was based on Liu Xiu from the beginning! All thanks to you! }
  {They are all based on comparison. The author did not go into details. You can see what Wang Mang did before he died. He was really a madman. No wonder Wang Mang is a derogatory term. }
  {How the hell are you stepping on them? }
  {It turns out that telling the truth is just stepping on it! Learned learned learned. }
  {I don’t want to see the majesty of the Han officials again today! }

……

[After the demise of the New Dynasty, although Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan had great righteousness, the political power also took over Chang'an. 】

[However, the rebel armies all over the world, especially those in the states and counties north of the Yellow River, were waiting and watching and did not join Gengshi Emperor. 】

[The Red Eyebrow Army developed rapidly in the land of Qilu and became increasingly powerful, but it was leaderless. After Liu Xuan took control of Chang'an, he granted nobility to the Red Eyebrow Army and temporarily calmed down the Red Eyebrow Army. 】

[But no one could go to Hebei. At that time, there was a nursery rhyme circulating in the world: "If you can't get it, it's in Hebei. If you can't get it, it's in Chimei."]

[If the world wants to be completely stable, after the Gengshi Dynasty appeases the Red Eyebrow Army, it needs to pacify the Hebei area, which has the largest number of people and the most complex forces. 】

[In order to appease Hebei, Emperor Gengshi sent Liu Xiu to Hebei to comfort him on the advice of the great Situ Liu Ci and the persuasion of Cao Xu. 】

[In October 23 AD, Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan sent Liu Xiuxing, the Great Sima Shi, to cross the Yellow River north to control Hebei Prefecture and County. 】

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
  "Your Majesty... Emperor Gengshi probably doesn't trust Emperor Guangwu. Why did he send Emperor Guangwu to see Hebei in the first place? Isn't it true that the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is broad and fish can swim?"

Wu Meiniang massaged Li Zhi, who had a headache, and then poked and asked in confusion.

Li Zhi, who was frowning with his eyes closed due to a headache, couldn't help laughing when he heard Wu Meiniang's question.

"Haha, because Emperor Gengshi has no one to use."

"He is an emperor in name, but in fact he is a puppet elected by the Green Forest Army."

"In the Gengshi court, except for one Zhu Tuna who was loyal to him, the rest were half-hearted and had their own plans."

"So, Emperor Guangwu has to use it even if he doesn't want to. After all, he is a member of the clan."

"Same bloodline."

Li Zhi closed his eyes and spoke in a leisurely tone.

Wu Meiniang's eyes flickered, and she said thoughtfully while pressing Li Zhi's head.

"After all, it's because Emperor Gengshi doesn't have military power and can't command all the Green Forest Army, right, Your Majesty?"

Li Zhi suddenly opened his eyes!

A sharp light flashed across his eyes.

Wu Meiniang's body stiffened for a moment, and then she forced a gentle smile.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I pressed my concubine too hard. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Listening to the pounding in Wu Meiniang's heart.

Li Zhi's expression relaxed and softened. He took Wu Meiniang's stiff palm and stroked it gently.

"Why would I punish Mei Niang? Did I ask you to press it?"

"But, Mei Niang just do it how I want you to press it, and how hard you press it. It can't be like this time, it hurts me when I press it."

"Yes, I understand."

Relaxing her body, Wu Meiniang showed a charming smile.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang's appearance, nodded slightly, and then patted her hand gently.

"Keep pressing, this head still hurts."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Meiniang gently rubbed Li Zhi's forehead again.

……

[Although Liu Xiu was granted the privilege of conducting military affairs, Liu Xuan did not give Liu Xiu soldiers and horses. 】

[The only people who went to Hebei with Liu Xiu were Feng Yi and several talented fellows who followed Feng Yi and defected to Liu Xiu. Among them was one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Yao Qi]

[In this way, Liu Xiu, who had no soldiers or generals, led a few people who were willing to follow him straight to Hebei, officially starting Feilong's life in the sky! 】

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Looking at the sky, Liu Xiu recalled the past.

"The trip to Hebei is when my fish and dragons enter the sea."

"But without the help of all the ministers, I will not be able to recover the Han Dynasty!"

"I hope you can work with me to govern the Han Dynasty!"

"Let the world be at peace!"

Seeing that the emperor above him was relieved of his sorrow, all the ministers of His Highness also expressed joy.

"Follow your Majesty's wishes! Long live your Majesty!"

……

 At two o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by my pet's grunting, and then I found that I couldn't stand on my hind legs.

  I quickly drove him to the hospital. After a X-ray examination, he found nothing serious.

  It's just that I'm getting older and my joints can't be easily twisted.

  Otherwise, updates will be discontinued today...
