Sima Yao gritted his teeth: "Sergeant Liu, do you think my trust in you has reached the point where you can replace the personal bodyguards I have used for more than ten years, stay away from my concubines, and put my life completely in your hands? Don't forget it. , no matter what, you have been away from Jin and fell into the enemy's hands for several years. Your wife is the princess of the enemy country. You disobey the general's orders in the army. You even have your own intelligence spies in the enemy country without informing me of the imperial court. Why do you let me Do I believe you?"
Liu Yu said loudly: "Only with Beizhi's heart to serve the country, and only when Your Majesty is safe, can we fully support Beizhi's Northern Expedition. This is a lifelong career that Beizhong is willing to sacrifice his life for, and it is also the cause of Beizhong's relationship with those The fundamental difference is that the high-ranking families who have occupied the power of the Jin Dynasty are still dissatisfied, scheming and plotting all day long. If this is not the case, why is Your Majesty now alone here with a humble official asking about these military affairs, instead of asking for help? Are they discussing it?!"
Sima Yao was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "Now you have no power and a humble position. You may be able to keep a pure heart, but if you become more and more powerful and have more and more official positions in the future, Gao, with more and more troops in hand, will he still have this original intention? When Huan Wen avenged his father and killed his enemy, he was alone and could risk his life. If not, the late emperor would not have entrusted Jingzhou to it. The result is that Huan Wen, who was so sincere back then, almost usurped my kingdom in the end. How can you guarantee that you won't be the next Huan Wen?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Because Huan Wen had already joined the mafia when he was a boy. He was a product of the mafia's careful planning. He was the product of the mafia's careful planning. How could he, a mere person, be in the enemy's family?" What about killing his enemies at the funeral of hundreds of people? If Huan Wen is really so skilled in martial arts and can defeat hundreds of enemies at once, why does he always plan his escape route and never take risks?"
Sima Yao opened his eyes wide in surprise: "What, you said, Huan Wen is also a mafia? How is this possible? According to you, Xie An is Xuanwu of the mafia, and he and Huan Wen are mortal enemies. Do you want to say that they are Are you acting for our royal family?"
Liu Yu sighed: "The mafia is very complicated inside. It does not protect the power of the family, but only seeks the family as a whole. It is a secret organization to limit the imperial power. But if someone becomes self-reliant, they will naturally quit the mafia and become one of them." There is a new opponent. Huan Wen's father died in the battle to protect the country, and after the Wangdun Rebellion in Jingzhou, the Yu family has been operating for many years and has almost become a leader, posing a threat to the mafia in the south of the Yangtze River, so they want a man without a foundation. The children of the aristocratic family have come to take over, and there is no more suitable candidate than Huan Wen."
"So they carefully planned the action to avenge their father. Everyone thought that Huan Wen was alone, broke into the funeral of hundreds of enemies, killed three of his enemies, and left with their heads. But they didn't know that the mafia was dispatched that day. Thousands of masters guarded the enemy, and they had seized the weapons of the entire enemy clan beforehand, and put cartilage powder in their food and drinks, making them unable to move, which was equivalent to disarming them and surrendering."
"Huan Wen just killed three enemies' sons under control of the overall situation, and left with the heads up. The enemies' servants who knew about it afterwards were also silenced silently. This is the truth about Huan Wen's revenge. At that time, the late emperor thought that Huan Wen had Such a person can restrain the high-ranking families in Jiangnan, so he married his wife as a princess and made her the governor of Jingzhou."
"After Huan Wen took office, he spent several years firmly controlling Jingzhou, and then destroyed it and became the Han Dynasty. He made great achievements. From then on, Jingzhou became the private property of the Huan family. He also took the opportunity to break away from the mafia and stand on his own. He even wanted to usurp power and seize the throne. A powerful emperor, this is why he later turned against Xie An, Wang Tanzhi and other mafia bosses!"
"Xi Chao was Xie An who came to Huan Wen as an undercover agent in order to make up for his mistakes, hoping to take back a chess piece in Jingzhou. However, Xi Chao hated Xie An and ruined Huan Wen's Northern Expedition. Many years later, in Xie An's northern mansion During the Northern Expedition to Yecheng, the army was also behind the scenes, resulting in Wuqiaoze's disastrous defeat and another split within the mafia. In the end, Xi Chao was plotted against by his accomplices and burned to a horrible state, so he wanted to follow Huan Wen's old path and return to control Jingzhou. , if I hadn’t killed him on the fighting field this time, I’m afraid that by now, Jingzhou’s surname would have been Xi instead of Huan.”
Liu Yu's expression was calm and his tone was gentle as he recounted these thrilling old events. Sima Yao was stunned for a long time before he realized what was happening. He immediately turned his head and faced the corner of the hall recording the conversation. The chamberlain who was recording rushed over, picked up a few filled-in records in front of him, tore them into pieces in his hands, then threw them into the brazier on the side, and shouted sharply at the astonished chamberlain. He said: "If you dare to leak even a single word of what I recorded today, you will be killed immediately!"
The chamberlain quickly kowtowed and obeyed, and Sima Yao waved his hand: "Everyone, step aside. Don't let any news of today's events leak out, otherwise, your whole family will be killed together!"
Soon, only Liu Yu and Sima Yao were left in the main hall. Liu Yu's perception was very accurate. Even the more than ten secret guards on the beam and in the surrounding walls were gone. At this moment, only the monarch and his ministers were facing each other. Sima Yao sighed: "I have truly put my life in your hands now. Liu Yu, if you want to kill me now, it will only be a thought." thing. However, I believe that you are not Huan Wen. Even if you take power and have soldiers in the future, you will not be. Otherwise, you can cooperate with the mafia now and kill me. You go and command the soldiers. .”
Liu Yu nodded: "The mafia only wants to protect the interests of the family and evade the imperial power. If the Northern Expedition harms their interests, they will not hesitate to stop it, sacrifice the lives of thousands of soldiers, and let the people of the Han family in the north continue to fall into chaos. They are in the hands of the captives, so I can never really cooperate with them. Your Majesty wants to regain the imperial power and the country. For this reason, he does not talk about loyalty, only interests, and I can only stand with your Majesty in my humble position. Now you Publicly saying that you want to investigate the mafia and take back the Yuan Emperor's Ten Thousand Years Land Deed has made them murderous. You have been safe and sound in the past few years mainly because you do not touch the real power, do not touch their bottom line interests, and even I didn’t know they existed, but it’s different now. In their eyes, you must die.”
Sima Yao gritted his teeth: "You are right. If you say this, the people around me may have been their spies for a long time. They will know every move at any time, including the conversation between you and me today. I am going to tell you what I am doing here today." Get rid of all the people, you hurry up and summon your brothers, within one day, I want all the guards around me to be replaced by people you trust, Liu Sima, can you do it?"
