With Chen Gong joining the party, the atmosphere became different. Originally, Dian Wei, Ji Nu, and the Twenty Cavalry were only good at fighting. They would only answer a question or two when asked by their lord. However, Chen Gong was different. He often talked with Liu Xin about the general situation of the world. The more they talked, the more congenial they became. Sometimes, they even slept together.
Naturally, Chen Gong was extremely happy to receive such recognition from his lord. He made up his mind to follow his lord for the rest of his life. After talking to him, he was even more impressed by his lord's talents. For example, the 36 Stratagems. The best strategy was to escape. It was extremely profound.
When the group arrived in Luoyang, the guards saw that everyone was carrying weapons and stopped them. When they saw Liu Xin's Left General token, they knew that the person in front of them was the famous Butcher Liu of Xianbei. They were extremely excited. In fact, Liu Xin himself did not know that he had become the idol of all the soldiers in Luoyang and the dream lover of all the ladies in Luoyang.
Why? Of course, we have to thank our Spirit Emperor, Lord Liu Hong, for this. In recent years, the Great Han had fought against the Hu people without a single victory. Everyone said that they were stupid. Now, someone finally won. Moreover, it was someone from his own family, a relative of the Han clan. How could he not be happy? He was the one who sold his official position to Liu Xin back then, and he was very proud of it. This time, he summoned Liu Xin to the capital because he wanted to use this opportunity to announce to the officials and the people that he was also a wise ruler of a generation and that he could not be compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"General, please!" The guard personally led the way and welcomed Liu Xin into the city. He heard that it was Liu Hong's birthday in a few days, and Liu Hong was going to invite Liu Xin to the birthday banquet, which gave Liu Xin a headache.
As usual, it was the person Zhang Gong had arranged to receive him. Chen Gong was slightly surprised when he saw it.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at his lord.
"Gongtai, what do you think is a good gift for His Majesty's birthday?”Liu Xin had no idea why. On the way here, he had been tricked by Gongsun Zan. Everything had been lost, including the gift he had brought to the Emperor. Now, Liu Xin was indeed very helpless. The emperor would definitely like to give gold, silver, and treasures, but it was not presentable. It was fine to give some in private. On the surface, he had to do something that represented something.
Chen Gong wasn't very good at giving gifts." In my opinion, it's fine as long as the gift from the lord is different! However, it was not easy to fulfill this condition!”
Liu Xin also knew that he wouldn't be able to think of it in a short period of time, so he didn't think about it anymore.
The moment Liu Xin entered Luoyang, He Jin knew. In fact, He Jin's hostility towards Liu Xin was also inexplicable.
Why do you hate me when you don't see me? This is profit!
Liu Xin had sent Huang Ba to give gifts to Zhang Rang several times. Huang Ba was a boorish man who did not know how to avoid suspicion. Almost all the nobles in Luoyang knew about it. Because of this, Zhang Rang thought that Liu Xin was on his side. With such a capable backup who held military power, Zhang Rang naturally felt more at ease and had more face in front of Emperor Liu Hong. However, Zhang Rang did not recommend Liu Bian, who was born by Empress He, but Liu Xie, the son of Beauty Wang. As a result, He Jin was even more afraid of Liu Xin. If Liu Xin really stood on Zhang Rang's side, then the prince born by his sister would be one step further on the road to the throne. This was something He Jin could not tolerate.
Now that the Emperor was treating Liu Xin with great courtesy, if the Emperor left Liu Xin in Luoyang, He Jin would have even more trouble eating and sleeping. He could not let Liu Xin stay in Luoyang no matter what. This was He Jin's only goal.
The next day, Liu Xin went to court to meet the emperor. Liu Hong was obviously in a good mood. He praised Liu Xin in front of everyone, saying that he had the heroic spirit of General Huo of the Han Dynasty. He rewarded him, but this time, he did not promote him. Furthermore, in front of all the civil and military officials, they said that they would invite Liu Xin to a banquet on his birthday. To welcome Liu Xin, Liu Xin pretended to be grateful and naturally everyone was happy.
Seeing Liu Hong, who had been hollowed out by wine and sex, treat him with great courtesy, Liu Xin was also secretly grateful. However, he knew that Liu Hong was only using him to set off his wisdom, which made Liu Xin feel a little funny.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that after General Liu defeated the Xianbei cavalry, he was too conservative and delayed the opportunity. He caused the remaining Xianbei cavalry to flee back to the grasslands and let the tiger return to the mountains. He also injured Lieutenant General Gongsun Bo Gui.”
He Jin obviously didn't want to let Liu Xin go.
Looking at Liu Xin who was smiling at him, He Jin wanted to go up and beat Liu Xin up. Unfortunately, no one dared to be impudent in the imperial court. Moreover, if they really started fighting, He Jin would probably lie down first.
"How do you explain this, dear minister?" Liu Hong could not accept it.
Liu Xin replied calmly and respectfully,"Your Majesty, in the battle of Ji County, Xin's 6,000 cavalry lured the 40,000 Xianbei cavalry, resulting in many casualties. Less than 10% of them were able to fight again. Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, they were able to kill 35,000 Xianbei cavalry. If the infantrymen fight the cavalry, how confident do you think you are?”
Seeing Liu Xin looking at him, He Jin was speechless. Liu Xin continued,"Later, Xin had no choice but to order people to cut off more than 30,000 heads and give them to the Xianbei commander to scare him into retreating north. Otherwise, the Xianbei cavalry would continue south, and Xin would have to die there.
However, thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, I believe that I was lucky enough to win. The Xianbei really retreated North.”
"Good, I didn't expect my beloved minister to have such a plan at such a young age.”Liu Hong felt very comfortable after hearing what Liu Xin said. It was indeed his good fortune.
"Moreover, General Gongsun Bogui failed to defend the city and lost Lulong Sai, causing tens of thousands of Great Han citizens to suffer! Fortunately, he had returned from the wrong path, but it could not make up for the sins he had committed. Tens of thousands of people had indirectly died in his hands.”Speaking of hate, Liu Xin was resolute.
Hearing Liu Xin's words, Liu Hong almost wanted to take Gongsun Zan down and punish him, but Lu Zhi and Zhang Rang recommended him and he was lucky to be safe.
The first confrontation ended with Liu Xin's victory. He Jin hated Liu Xin even more and wanted to get rid of him.
At this moment, He Yong, who was under He Jin, suggested that he could invite Liu Xin to fight during the Emperor's birthday celebration in a few days to rub off his spirit. He Jin agreed.
When Chen Gong learned that there was a rift between the lord and He Jin, he pondered and did not say anything. After a while, he recommended,"My lord, you must be wary of He Jin. I believe that old thief He Jin wants to get rid of you now.”
Seeing Chen Gong like this, Liu Xin felt extremely touched. With such a talented person helping him, what was there to be afraid of?
He had been thinking about what gift to give. It was almost the Emperor's birthday. If he did not have a gift, he would probably not be able to enter. Even the Emperor would be angry at him for not asking him to step down.
Comrade Xiao Liu racked his brains and finally thought of a wonderful gift during dinner. He said to Chen Gong mysteriously," Gongtai, I've thought of a gift!”
Seeing that his lord's problem had been solved, Chen Gong was happy for him. However, he was still very confused as to what his lord wanted to give him.
Liu Xin smiled silently and ordered Dian Wei to buy a bucket of ginger. It was very useful. Chen Gong was shocked. His lord wouldn't give His Majesty a bucket of ginger to relieve his anger, right? His lord was too crazy.
"My lord, I'm afraid it's not good to give such an ordinary item like ginger.”
"Gongtai need not worry. I believe that everyone present will be surprised. At that time, Gongtai will know the meaning of the letter."
Chen Gong shook his head. Since his lord was so certain, it was inappropriate for him to continue arguing. Looking at the bucket of ginger that Dian Wei had bought, Liu Xin felt closer to him than he was to his own father.
Two days later, at Liu Hong's birthday banquet, Liu Xin brought Dian Wei and Chen Gong to the banquet. The gift was a bucket of ginger that Liu Xin had carefully arranged and wrapped. Chen Gong was very nervous when he saw that his lord was really going to give him ginger. Then, he thought about it. Since his lord was not afraid, what was there to be afraid of as an official? He became calm.
Liu Xin came to the banquet and saw that Lu Zhi, He Jin, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, and the other loyal officials were already in place. He ordered Dian Wei to bring the gifts over and was about to put them into the warehouse. Liu Xin counted in his heart, one, two…
"Your Majesty, I'm very curious about the gift General Liu gave me. I wonder if I can open it in front of everyone and let everyone have a look." As expected, He Jin couldn't resist the temptation and started to make trouble.
Looking at Liu Xin's gaze, He Jin felt goosebumps all over his body.
"I don't know, Minister Liu. What do you think?”Spirit Monarch Liu Hong also wanted to know what gift Liu Xin, whom he appreciated, would give him.
Liu Xin was waiting for this sentence, thinking that if you don't look at it now, I will probably be in trouble when I go back. Your Majesty, please take a look!" Liu Xin took the gift from Dian Wei and opened the package.
Now, Chen Gong's heart was in his throat. He was very worried, not for himself, but for his lord to be blamed by the Emperor.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Liu Xin's big move!
"What is this? Why does it look so familiar?”Wang Yun looked at the items in the bucket and felt that it looked like ginger. Did the Left General really send a bucket of ginger?
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song looked at the bucket of ginger and confirmed that it was indeed a bucket of ginger. Then, they heard He Jin laugh out loud." Could it be that General Liu gave me a bucket of ginger?"”
The Spirit Monarch Liu Hong was also very angry now. Liu Xin, you actually dared to play with me just because of your contribution. Did you even take me seriously? Just as Liu Hong was about to explode.
Liu Xin coughed." Please take a closer look. What's different about this ginger?”
Hearing Liu Xin's words, everyone took a closer look and felt that it was still ginger. There was no difference. Suddenly, they heard an official say,"Why do I feel that the shape of this ginger is very orderly, like a continuous mountain peak?”
Everyone looked again. It was indeed so, but they still did not understand.
"Your Majesty, Liu Xin played tricks on the emperor, please punish Liu Xin for being disrespectful!”
Looking at He Jin, Liu Xin sighed in his heart that this old thing really knew how to seize the opportunity. Spirit Emperor Liu Hong was also considering whether to punish Liu Xin.
Chen Gong looked at the bucket of ginger and saw that it was arranged in the shape of a mountain. If they were connected together, it would be…a bucket of ginger!，Thinking about it, he said," Unify the country!”
Everyone understood what was going on, but there were still many who didn't. Liu Xin looked at the situation and said,""That's right, today's gift is a bucket of ginger."
"I wish my emperor to unify the country for thousands of generations!”Liu Xin bowed.
The Spirit Monarch finally understood and was in a good mood. It seemed that Liu Xin had put in a lot of effort and felt that he had gained a lot of face. Good! This is the best gift I've received in the past few years! Someone put it away! Come, Minister Liu, sit beside me!"
Seeing Liu Xin receive such courtesy, He Jin became even angrier!
