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

Chapter 499

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

At this time, the sky was hazy, and courtiers stood in the grand and solemn hall, discussing state affairs.

The emperor Liu Xie sat in the emperor's seat and listened to the reports of the ministers below, but he was also confused.He is only seven years old this year, and he basically doesn't understand the big and small affairs of the court. Ninety-nine percent of the affairs are handled by San Gong and Shang Shutai.

After the courtiers finished reporting, the young emperor yawned, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.He looked at the ministers and tried to make himself look more solemn: "Your Excellencies, is there anything else you want to play?"

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for nothing." The courtiers bowed and replied.

"Since there is nothing to play, then..."

Before the words 'Sanchao' could be said, there was a burst of transmission outside the hall that pierced the sky: "The right general, Lu Bu, begs to see you!"

Hearing this sound, all the officials in the hall suddenly became commotion and started whispering.

"Why is Lu Bu back?"

"Who knows, isn't he far away in Xiliang to calm the chaos? Who asked him to come back?"

"For some reason, I always feel uneasy in my heart, and I have a bad premonition..."

Liu Xie, who was about to leave his seat, heard the news, so he had to sit back in his seat patiently, adjusted his clothes, and then said slowly: "Xuan Luqing come in."

When the first emperor was alive, he once said that Lu Bu was a magic sword, which could be used to open up territories, fight against rebellions, or implement new systems. Only this man can go forward and be invincible.

Liu Xie has always kept these words in his heart, so he subconsciously regards Lu Bu as a good minister who can entrust important affairs.

Hearing the emperor's call, Lu Bu who was standing outside the hall took off his shoes, took off the sword around his waist, and handed it to the eunuch at the gate.

Then, walk into the main hall.

"Chen Lu Bu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will last forever."

Lu Bu stood in the center of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, bowed and clasped his fists.

"Lu Qing is free." Liu Xie raised his hand, motioning for Lu Bu to stand up.

As soon as Lu Bu straightened his body, someone next to him took advantage of the topic and reprimanded him: "Wen Hou, you came to face the saint without changing the court uniform, and just came in wearing the armor of the army. What is your intention? Your Majesty was shocked, you can afford it!" !"

Then, the man bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Lv Bu is rude and offensive, please punish him for his disrespect, so as to make an example to others!"

"Your Majesty, please punish me."

In the palace, nearly half of the courtiers knelt down and begged the emperor to punish Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so don't be afraid of me. Don't try to sow discord. Don't forget who saved you from Dong Zhuo's mouth!"

Lu Bu also became a little annoyed. He was preoccupied with the stability of the Xiliang area and the settlement of Luoyang people.It's good for these officials and gentlemen who have a vegetarian meal, if they don't do useful things, they will only hinder him.

From Xiliang to Chang'an, the mountains are high and the road is long.

Fortunately, he had a horse called Chitu, and he ran wildly all the way. It only took him two or three days to reach Chang'an successfully.

After returning to Chang'an, Lu Bu's mansion did not return, so he came to the palace to face the saint.

"Dare to ask Marquis Wen, but he was ordered to return to Beijing?" Someone questioned that the generals who were going to fight outside were not allowed to enter Beijing privately without being recruited by the court.

Otherwise, it will be a death penalty!
Lu Bu was taken aback, these guys really pushed themselves into the fire pit, the problem is that each one is trickier than the other.

"It's about the safety of the country's borders, so this general doesn't care about that much."

Lu Bu said it frankly, and then apologized to the emperor, "My minister is dedicated to the great Han, and I have absolutely no intention of offending Your Majesty. Please learn from Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was still young, so he didn't think it was a big deal, so he tolerated Lu Bu.

But the officials refused to let it go, Yilang Gengren held on even more, and sneered at Lu Bu, "I would like to hear how big the big thing that Marquis Wen is talking about."

He is the second child of the Geng family, and his father, Geng Mi, was assassinated a few days ago.Although the assassination was unsuccessful, the old man was shocked to death, and he still hasn't recovered yet.

Lu Bu did not reply directly, but asked instead: "This general also wants to know why you are not willing to accept the surrender of Han Sui, Song Jian and others?"

Before the officials could open their mouths, Geng Ren snorted coldly and said righteously: "Han Sui and Song Jian are rebels against the country. If we surrender them today, doesn't it mean that other rebels can follow suit in the future? Where is my face, and where is my great Han country?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he really wanted to go up and give him two slaps.But with the emperor here, he must not be too presumptuous, suppressing the anger in his chest, and confronting Geng Ren: "Liangzhou has been out of the control of the imperial court for several years, and the situation is turbulent. Now that Han Sui, Song Jian and others are willing to surrender, why? Can't we give them a chance? Do we have to force them to jump over the wall, and their lives will be ruined!"

Having said all this, Geng Ren still didn't realize the urgency of the situation, instead he said nonchalantly: "My big man has a strong army, with fierce generals like clouds, and a few small rebels, what are you afraid of!"

These words are full of confidence, and there are not a few officials who have such thoughts, and they all nod in agreement.

Little traitor?

Lu Bu was amused by Geng Ren's tone. There are 10,000+ rebels in Liangzhou, with elite soldiers and strong generals.If it was really a mere bandit, how could it be possible that after so many years, they failed to defeat the rebels, and almost forced the court to abandon Liangzhou.

You tell me about the little traitor now, why should you be afraid?
Lu Bu was too lazy to talk with these Confucian scholars who had never been to the battlefield, so he said in a cold voice: "If Geng Yilang thinks that he is really capable, please take your troops to Liangzhou and let me see how to suppress the rebellion."

When Geng Ren saw that Lu Bu underestimated him, he immediately lost his temper.He had read some strategies of war and thought he could be the commander-in-chief of a party, so he bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as a general and conquer traitors for the country."

This time, he wanted to let the people in the world know that Lu Bu is not the only one who is good at fighting in the world.

"Misters, what do you think?" Liu Xie asked the ministers below. In fact, he was more inclined to Lu Bu's side. After all, it would be best if he could take back Liangzhou without fighting.

However, these courtiers seemed to disagree with Lu Bu, and instead supported Geng Ren.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Geng Yilang, with his courage and strategy, will be able to put down the Liangzhou rebellion and return in triumph." The Crown Servant Wei Li was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." More than half of the officials in the hall said in unison.

In this way, the overall situation is settled.

Lu Bu had nothing to say, and after leaving the court, he dragged his tired body to his mansion.

The imperial servant Wei Li walked up to Wang Yun, looked at Lu Bu's back, and laughed triumphantly: "Look, Situ, this guy's lonely back looks like a dog!"
