The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1348 An urgent imperial edict
This imperial decree came very abruptly. According to Liu Yin's practice of fighting in the past, the imperial court rarely interfered. When Liu Yin marched, when he returned to the army, and what strategy he used to fight, it was basically up to Liu Yin to decide. To make the decision, the Ji Han court, from His Majesty to the courtiers, has never had any objections.

But this time the imperial court suddenly sent an edict to call him back to Beijing without explaining any reason, which made Liu Yin feel a little uneasy. Could it be that behind this imperial edict, there is some ulterior purpose?

Over the years, the relationship between Liu Yin and Liu Chen has been quite harmonious. Although they are only cousins ​​and not brothers, they are closer than brothers. In the past few years, Liu Yin has fought in the front, and Liu Chen has done logistics in the rear. The two have cooperated seamlessly. The feat of calming the world is half as much as you and half as much as mine.

But since Liu Chen succeeded to the throne, Liu Yin clearly felt that there was some estrangement between their brothers. At first, Liu Yin didn't care about it. After all, Liu Chen became the emperor, and there was a difference in status between them. It is impossible to return to the intimacy of the past.

But this time, the Battle of Xiling that happened before going to Wu State made Liu Yin have some hidden worries.Liu Chen's insistence on using Hu Ji seems to have ulterior motives.Although it was said that Liu Yin was in Dingyou at that time and could not command the army, after all, under Liu Yin's command, there were still strong generals like Fu Qian and Luo Xian, who were no worse than Hu Ji in terms of ability. His important minister is completely worthy of this post.

But Liu Chen did not choose the generals of Liu Yin's family, and chose Hu Ji, who was estranged from Liu Yin. It turned out that Liu Chen's choice was wrong, and Hu Ji was defeated. Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid the campaign against Wu Daye doesn't know how long it will be postponed.

Now that Wu has just succeeded in defeating Wu, the imperial court hastily ordered him to return to his teacher. How much trickery is hidden in this?
The generals also complained about this imperial edict from the imperial court. Now that the victory over Wu has been accomplished, it is time for these soldiers who have been fighting for many years to relax, but the imperial court wants them to return to the army urgently.
Zhang Le was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "Just after the battle, before I had time to rest, the imperial court came to urge my life. I am so annoying!"

Zhang Le has a cousin relationship with the Emperor of the Dynasty, but he dares to complain in person, and the other generals are cautious in their words and deeds in front of the imperial envoy. If the imperial envoy goes back and reads a book in front of His Majesty, it will be unbearable. , so the other generals are just whispering behind their backs.

After sending the imperial envoy away, Fu Qian said to Liu Yin with a little worry: "Wenxuan, this imperial decree from His Majesty has a profound meaning. You must not take it lightly. You have not been in the court for many years. What is the situation in Luoyang?" It is very clear that there is still a day when Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and you will inevitably be envied by the villain for such a feat, and this time there must be someone who will go forward to slander His Majesty, so we must guard against it."

Liu Yin nodded, and said: "No matter what, let's go back to Beijing according to the order. After returning to Beijing, the truth will come out."

In the next few days, Liu Yin was preparing for his itinerary. Lu Xuan was appointed as the prefect of Danyang, and he was in Jiangdong. The position of prefect is also the benefit that Liu Yin promised to the several great families. As for the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Jingzhou, they have to be promoted by the Luoyang court as usual, and now they can only be temporarily vacant.

As for Sun Yu and the Sun clan, all of them were going to move to Luoyang. This time when Liu Yin returned to Beijing, he happened to go with him.As for the courtiers who accompanied Soochow to Luoyang, it was initially planned to include Lu Ji, Lu Yun, Hu Chong, Xue Ying, He Zhi, Sun Yan and others.

After the arrangements were made, Liu Yin led his troops across the Yangtze River to the north and returned to Luoyang.General Longxiang Wang Jun served as the governor of Zhennan, leading the navy and stationed on the Yangtze River. After all, the navy is different from the army and must have waterways to pass. Liu Yin left Wang Jun to guard the Yangtze River, and he also intended to supervise Jiangdong. Riding on horses and horses, Liu Yin took all of them back to Beijing.

During this journey, Liu Yin walked in a leisurely manner. At the same time, Liu Yin sent someone to fly back to Beijing early to inquire about the news.

When Liu Yin traveled to Runan, he was rewarded. After all, in Luoyang, Liu Yin had many eyes. Prince Yong's Mansion, Anping Prince's Mansion, Lieutenant's Mansion, and Zhang's Mansion can all be said to be his internal agents. If there is any news about Luoyang, he wants to hide it. It's really hard to beat Liu Yin.

The cause of the matter has to start with Dong Hong, the minister next to Liu Chen. Dong Hong is the grandson of Shang Shuling Dong Yun. Liu Chen has a good relationship, and wants to take this opportunity to be promoted to Duzhi Shangshu.However, Liu Yin believed that his talent and knowledge were not enough to take on this important task, so he suggested that Liu Chen be replaced by someone else. Liu Chen followed Liu Yin's suggestion and appointed Dong Hong as the captain of Shesheng.

Compared with Duzhi Shangshu, who is rich in oil and water, the shooting lieutenant who has long been out of the military rank is just a vain position, and Qingshui's official position, Dong Hong has a grudge against Liu Yin.On the contrary, Liu Chen was grateful for his childhood friendship, and appointed Dong Hong as a regular servant on Sanqi, and became his close servant.

This time when Liu Yin conquered Wu Gongcheng and Ji Han was celebrating with the whole country, Dong Hong remonstrated with Liu Chen: "I heard that King Yong recruited and accepted traitors in Jiangdong, appointed surrenders, and bought people's hearts. I am afraid that Jiangdong may become independent. Heart, Your Majesty must guard against it."

Liu Chen didn't believe it at first, and said: "I and King Yong are like brothers, how can he act behind my back?"

Dong Hongdao: "Your Majesty thinks that King Yong is a brother, but King Yong may not think so. Now that King Yong has made such a great achievement, he is proud of his achievements and acts as he pleases. Why has he ever put His Majesty in his eyes and asked His Majesty for his will? Why don't His Majesty send an edict to the general If he is recalled, if he returns to the teacher immediately, it can be seen that he has no rebellious intentions. If he refuses to return, he must have two ambitions. Your Majesty will try it and you will be able to tell who is loyal."

Liu Chen couldn't stand Dong Hong's repeated instigation, so he issued an order to send Liu Yin back to Beijing.

Knowing the whole story, Liu Yin couldn't help sighing. He has been busy fighting for so many years, and neglected to manage the people around Liu Chen. He never expected that there would be such a treacherous minister like Dong Hong. Liu Yin defeated Wu in time, and Liu Chen's imperial edict came after Wu's death. If it is at the critical moment to defeat Wu, do you think Liu Yin should act according to the edict?
It seems that it is time to clean up these villains around Liu Chen, otherwise Liu Chen will really be spoiled by them. Huang Hao is a living example.
