Chapter 284: The Youyun Warrior Breaks Into the Palace at Night

In the imperial city after retreating from the dynasty, a group of military generals who had been ennobled as marquises and generals and held high positions were in high spirits and were discussing with laughter all the way, looking for a place to get drunk and rest.

Only King Zhao Liu Xinwu was worried when he saw his adopted son Liu Ziyu behaving abnormally. He was worried that Liu Ziyu would not be able to accept the reward for him for a while and would do something extraordinary.

I was hesitating whether I should use an excuse to visit my daughter Liu Shujun, and talk to Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian about Liu Ziyu's problem, so that I could be well aware of it and go back to comfort my adopted son Liu Ziyu who was suffering the blow.

But he never thought that as soon as he left the Jinluan Palace, he was stopped by several Wang brothers with different surnames from the previous dynasty. After greetings and congratulations, they had a small gathering at the suggestion of Jiujiang King Du Bo.

On the one hand, congratulations to Brother Jingyu (Liu Xinwu) for being named King of Zhao of the New Dynasty;

On the other hand, after the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian and the conferment ceremony of the founding heroes, they, the former kings with different surnames who came to Beijing on orders, should also return to their respective fiefdoms.

In addition, Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian's arrangement for these kings with different surnames in the previous dynasty was only a verbal promise before the army broke into the city, retaining all the treatment of the kings with different surnames in the previous dynasty except for military power and fiefdom. It was not announced to the world in the form of a new imperial edict;

Therefore, these princes with different surnames from the previous dynasty also want to take the opportunity of today's gathering to ask Brother Jingyu to say a few kind words for them in front of the emperor, so that their original commitments can be announced to the world in the form of an imperial edict as soon as possible, and also So that they can feel at ease!

Faced with the invitations from several old brothers, Zhao Wang Liu Xinwu naturally found it difficult to refuse.

He knew very well that after today's gathering, these old brothers who followed Emperor Zhao Mang to conquer the world would never have the chance to meet again in this life.

Therefore, Liu Xinwu readily agreed to the invitation of the King of Jiujiang and returned to his mansion to drink and reminisce with the previous kings.

That night.

In an inn and restaurant in Jinling City, Liu Ziyu, the uncle of Wu Yi of the Tang Dynasty, who was getting drunk alone, was finally found by his generals.

The leaders are Liu Ziyu's vanguard general Hu Dalin and Youzhou garrison general Xiong Kai.

After today's conferment ceremony, a group of Youyun warriors headed by Hu Dalin learned that Deputy General Liu Ziyu was only conferred the title of Wu Yibo of the Tang Dynasty.

The difference between an earl, a marquis, and a duke is not only a few hundred shilumi and a few thousand taels of silver per year, but also represents the reputation of the civil servants and generals of the sixteen states of Youyun in their generation!

"Brother, why are you drinking alone here? You made it so hard for the brothers to find you!"

It turned out that these Youyun warriors who were not qualified to go to court began to search around Jinling City after learning that their eldest brother Liu Ziyu was only made an earl and had disappeared after he retired from the court. Finally, he found himself here The inn and restaurant finally found Liu Ziyu who was getting drunk alone.

While greeting Liu Ziyu, who was drunk, Hu Dalin signaled his soldiers to clear the inn and restaurant.

In response to this, the people who were still eating and drinking dared not say anything in anger, just because the visitor was arrogant and carrying a knife. At first glance, he was not a good person.

"Oh, brothers, are you here?"

Liu Ziyu was already 70 to 80% drunk. After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, he immediately greeted: "Come on, brothers, sit down and drink two bowls with me!"

"Boss, serve the wine——"

Soon, the owner of the inn tremblingly personally brought several jars of good wine to several people, and sent the chef to prepare several hard dishes to go with the wine. Then he retreated behind the counter of the inn and huddled up, covering his ears. A look of sadness and helplessness.

After Hu Dalin and others sat down, Liu Ziyu finished three large bowls with them first, and then said with red eyes: "Brothers, I'm so worried, I'm so miserable!"

"Brother, don't say anything anymore. All the brothers know about today's conferment ceremony!"

Hu Dalin filled the bowl of wine for Liu Ziyu again and said angrily: "This emperor is too much of a bully. Brother, did he not only make great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty?"

"At the beginning, if there were no big brother secretly coordinating in Wuzhou City, the emperor's tens of thousands of elite soldiers who detoured to Mobei to attack Tumubao would all have to freeze to death on the Mobei grassland;"

"If so, if Big Brother hadn't raised his arms, how could the garrison generals from Youyun Prefecture have turned their backs on the battlefield and hoisted the Jin King's flag?"

"In the battle of Kaifeng Mansion, my eldest brother lost seven people to his adopted son alone, but they are all well-known good men in Youyun area!"

"yes--"

After opening up the conversation with the help of wine, Youzhou garrison Xiong Kai also began to echo angrily: "With the general's achievements, even considering the influence in the court, if the general is not made the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, he should at least be a marquis. ah;"

"Even the likes of Guo Dingfang and Wang Wenbin, the kind of losers who were almost captured by the Tubo barbarians from the Chang'an General Military Mansion, have been made marquises;"

"And that Liu Ergou, he is just a low-ranking figure among the military generals in Youyun area, but he was actually made an earl and ranked higher than the general. How can he reason with this?"

"To put it bluntly, the emperor is deliberately suppressing our generals in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun;"

Xiong Kai continued to speak unabashedly: "As everyone knows, if there were no generals from the Sixteenth State of Youyun to guard the border for the emperor, would the Tang Dynasty be able to settle down?"

With the help of wine, several people expressed their dissatisfaction with Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian in one breath.

On the one hand, it is to fight against injustice for the eldest brother Liu Ziyu;

On the other hand, they were also dissatisfied with their own failure to receive the imperial title. In the eyes of Hu Dalin, Xiong Kai and others, even the unknown Liu Ergou was granted the title of Earl, but why couldn't they, the Youyun warriors with outstanding military achievements, be granted the title?

Under the influence of alcohol, the dissatisfaction of several people with Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian was infinitely magnified.

During the banquet, someone else said: "Brother, this prince is your adoptive father, is he just sitting on the sidelines?"

"And the Queen, that is your adopted sister. In order to prevent the Queen from being sent to Huihe by Zhao Gan to marry, you were ready to raise troops to fight against the court;"

"Now, the emperor treats you like this, is it possible that the prince and the Queen are indifferent?"

Swish!

As soon as this was said, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and no one knew how to continue this conversation.

Yes, facing Liu Ziyu's unfair treatment, why didn't the prince and the queen stand up to support Liu Ziyu, or even say a fair word in front of the emperor!

Just watch it?

After a long time, Liu Ziyu, whose eyes were already red from drinking, sneered and blurted out: "We are a family now, how can you care about the life and death of an outsider like me;"

"Adopted son, after all, is not a biological son;"

"Adopted brother, after all, is not a biological brother!"

Bang!

Suddenly, Hu Dalin slammed the wine bowl on the table, stood up, and said sternly: "Brother, this matter can't be let go;"

"I will go to the palace to meet the emperor now, and I must let the emperor give an explanation!"
