Empress Dowager He Mei had fainted at some point and only woke up after two hours.
"Imperial Uncle, I almost died.”
Liu Yu also felt a wave of dizziness. He said weakly,"Back then, this king gave you the word seductive because you were a complete vixen. Today, I've seen it with my own eyes and once again proved that this king wasn't wrong! This king's physique was almost taken down by you. This king was almost exhausted to death!"
He Mei rolled her eyes weakly, but her charming expression became even more intense.
At this moment, clear quarreling sounds came from outside. Liu Yu forced himself to sit up and asked,""Why is it so noisy?"
A soldier from afar immediately walked over and said through the tent,""The Empress Dowager's attendants were worried about the Empress Dowager's safety and wanted to come in to take a look, but they were stopped by Generals Zhou Cang and Guan Hai.”
"Imperial Uncle, don't let them in!" He Mei immediately cried out in a low voice. My clothes are disheveled, my hair is messy, and my body is weak. If they see me, they will definitely be suspicious!”
"Since you are afraid, why do you still dare to come here to meet me privately?" Liu Yu chuckled.”
He Mei looked at Liu Yu frivolously." I'm not afraid. I just don't want to be discovered early and be forced to die early!" As for you, Imperial Uncle, if this matter is exposed in the future and you are forced into a dead end, will you blame me for ruining Imperial Uncle's future?”
"Die?" Liu Yu laughed. Don't tell me you really think that this king called you here to worship the ancestors? This king asked you to come here to protect your life! As for This King…the person who can kill This King in this world has yet to be born!”
Although He Mei didn't understand what Liu Yu meant, she couldn't help but like Liu Yu even more when she saw his heroic look.
"However, it's not good for them to be so noisy outside. Who are the people who came with you?”
Liu Yu asked again.
He Mei counted on her fingers."There are 50 Hu Ben, 30 palace maids, and the father and daughter of the counselor Cai Yong.”
When Liu Yu heard the last part, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he did not ask further.
He Mei was a jealous person. Now, He Mei was the mother of a country and had great power. Although Liu Yu wanted to ask about Cai Yong's daughter, he was afraid that He Mei would secretly kill her.
There was still a long way to go. There was no need to be rash about this kind of thing. There was no need to tame He Mei and make her obedient. That was unrealistic. After all, there was a saying that one's nature could not change. Moreover, Liu Yu liked her charm and ruthlessness.
Just like the tiger in the zoo, it was nothing to look at.
Hence, Liu Yu got up and put on his clothes. At the same time, he made arrangements,""After a while, I will bring Cai Yong to the outside of the tent. You can talk to him and calm him down. As for Hu Ben, send them back to the Imperial Court tomorrow.”
Seeing that Liu Yu had a way, He Mei liked Liu Yu even more.
After Liu Yu went out, he heard someone reasoning from afar. He went over to take a look and saw Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's dejected faces, as if they had suffered a great injury.
"Great King! You're finally here! This person's mouth never stopped! The two of us were speechless. If you didn't come, the two of us would probably collapse and die!”When Zhou Cang saw Liu Yu, it was as if he had seen his savior. He was pleasantly surprised.
When the old man who had been reasoning heard this, he stopped talking and bowed respectfully."Assistant Minister Cai Yong greets King Zhong Shan! Your Majesty, may I ask where the Empress Dowager is?"
Liu Yu clasped his hands behind his back and said indifferently,"Follow this king."”
After taking two steps back, he said in a deep voice,"Zhou Cang Guan Hai! If anyone outside dared to make any noise, they would be expelled!”
"I accept your orders!"
After Cai Yong entered the military camp, he turned around and waved at the people behind him,""You don't have to worry about me. Just wait here in peace.”
Immediately, two sweet replies came from behind, and Liu Yu muttered in his heart.
"Cai Yong has two daughters, the eldest daughter Cai Wenji and the youngest daughter Cai Zhenji. Cai Wenji's talent was not inferior to her father Cai Yong. In history, Cai Zhenji had given birth to a famous general, Yang Hu, and she was not an ordinary woman.”
"Luoyang will definitely change soon. Since the Cai father and daughter have come here, I should make them stay.”
"Not only for this king, but also to protect the talent!”
Cai Yong was the most famous scholar in the world. He was well-learned and had a hand in white calligraphy that was handed down from generation to generation.
If Liu Yu protected him and obtained his service, then all the scholars in the world would have a new understanding of Liu Yu.
After Cai Yong followed Liu Yu to the main tent, Liu Yu cupped his hands and said,""Empress Dowager, Assistant Minister Cai has come to greet you.”
He Mei took a deep breath and said slowly,"Bengong is well. The current situation in Luoyang is complicated, and Bengong still has to discuss important matters with Imperial Uncle.”
Cai Yong was an honest man. When he heard that He Mei was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief."This subject is slow-witted and has disturbed the Empress Dowager and the Great King's business. This subject will take his leave and continue to wait.”
He Mei was immediately displeased." Imperial Uncle has brought troops to fetch me to worship the ancestors. I don't need you to accompany me!" Bring the Tiger Troop and return to the capital overnight to report.”
Liu Yu immediately interjected," Empress Dowager, Assistant Minister Cai is the head of literature in this dynasty. This sacrificial ceremony is a major event and there are many rules. Perhaps you still need to consult Assistant Minister Cai." Why don't we ask him to stay?"
He Mei naturally obeyed Liu Yu and immediately replied,"Then we'll follow Imperial Uncle's wishes. Cai Yong, you stay, but tell those Tiger Troops to immediately return to the capital to protect the emperor!”
"I accept your decree!"
After Cai Yong got up, he whispered to Liu Yu in surprise,"Thank you, Great King!"
Thank you? What was he thanking her for?
Liu Yu was puzzled.
Cai Yong sighed in a low voice." The current situation in Luoyang is complicated. I'm just a scholar, and I was worried about getting involved. Now, with just a word from the King, I'm out of trouble. This is really saving me!" I will repay your kindness today in the future!”
Liu Yu was amused,"There's such a good thing?" This Cai Yong seemed to be a sensible person, knowing that the internal strife in Luoyang was fierce and that it was not easy to live there! Since he was willing to treat this as a favor, that was even better. In the future, he would not have to worry about persuading him to serve the king.
Immediately after, Liu Yu asked Zhou Cang to prepare a military tent for Cai Yong and his daughter, and they also settled down in the camp.
While settling down outside, Liu Yu thought of something else.
"This king wants He Mei to stay here. He Mei also wants to be with this king. Since I have a relationship with her, why don't I try to protect Liu Bian and use the matter of respecting Liu Bian to command the princes? In this way, I can be a powerful official that no one dares to disobey, and I won't be criticized for treason!”
"The most important thing is that using Liu Bian's name will make it easier for talents to submit! This was extremely useful for the unification of the world. Perhaps in a few years, the world would be unified again!”
"This Liu Bian is said to be the most playful. After unifying, we can just get someone to secretly force him to abdicate!”
In just a short period of time, Liu Yu had decided on the basic route of his future development!
