The night is bright, the stars are dotted in the sky, and there is a bright moon, which makes people marvel at the beauty of nature.

Liu Yu is now sitting in Liu Bang's palace in Nanzheng. He is the only one in the room. He is staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Yes, Liu Yu had something on his mind and issued an order not to allow anyone to disturb him.

The progress of this troop dispatch was so smooth that Liu Yu felt it was unrealistic.

In fact, Liu Yu just wanted to protect himself at first, in order to survive this troubled world safely. Then, Liu Yu found out by chance that he was not the son of Emperor Ling. Liu Yu even personally killed Emperor Ling, ending the absurdity of this foolish emperor.

In his life, he also killed many people, and also killed many people with his own hands. Because Liu Yu began to fight for hegemony in the world, many people died, not to mention the Xianbei people, Qiang people, and even more people died.

too much.

Liu Yu always thought that he was benefiting the people and creating a peaceful and prosperous age for them. But in the end, Liu Yu found that his hands were already covered with blood, mostly the blood of innocent people.

Now that Hanzhong was captured without bloodshed, Liu Yu felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. This made Liu Yu feel incredible.

In Liu Bang's simple palace, Liu Yu suddenly found that he had turned into a person he didn't know. A person who would do anything to achieve his goals, and a shameless person.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu became scared. He was worried that one day he would be carried away by his inner ambition and desires and do some terrible things.

This is also the reason why Liu Yu stayed alone in this palace. He wanted to be alone.

But one person ignored Liu Yu's order and came here and walked in front of Liu Yu.

"Lord, I'm coming down." Chen Gong said.

"It's a public platform. What's the matter?" Liu Yu said softly, having no idea about Chen Gong's violation of his orders.

"My Lord, I'm a little worried if I stay here alone." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Are you worried? It's because a large group of people are worried. They asked you to come over. Anyway, let's have a good chat tonight. Come, prepare a few jugs of good wine and side dishes." Liu Yu smiled and Chen Gong

He knew what he was doing here as soon as he thought about it.

"My lord is still wise and I can't hide anything from you. My father-in-law and they were worried about what happened to my lord, so we came over to visit." Chen Gong did not dare to hide anything and told all the facts.

The guards immediately served all the food and drinks Liu Yu requested.

"Tonight there is no difference between king and minister. You and I sit together at the same table." Liu Yu stretched out her hand and motioned for Chen Gong to sit down.

"It is better to obey my orders than to be respectful." Chen Gong was not polite and sat directly opposite Liu Yu.

After the two had a drink together, Liu Yu said: "Gongtai, we haven't had a drink like this for a long time. The last time we drank like this was in Bo County. At that time, I was still an unpopular prince.

I didn’t expect to have such power and strength now.”

"Time flies like a white horse passing by. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember when I first met my lord, I thought that my lord was an unreasonable and evil person. I did not expect that my lord is a wise ruler who makes decisions for the people."

Chen Gong recalled saying.

"Evil man? That's right. When the whole Luoyang heard the name of me, Liu Yu, the children of any aristocratic family were not frightened. At that time, I was just ignorant and didn't know how to go on. Now I have become the leader of one person and tens of thousands of people.

The King of Zhao above him commanded thousands of soldiers and held the power of life and death. It was a huge contrast to the situation at that time when life and death were unknown. This king felt it was a bit unreal." Liu Yu told the truth.

Chen Gong didn't speak, he drank a glass of wine and ate some side dishes.

"Gongtai, I feel that I have changed." Liu Yu lowered his head and said this.

"Lord, do you think you have gotten better or worse?" Chen Gong asked Liu Yu.

"I still feel that my life in Luoyang was more comfortable before." Liu Yu said directly.

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My lord, why don't people in the world want to live a comfortable life every day, but who can do it? If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. As a monarch, my lord is destined to live a happy life.

Unable to live a comfortable life. This is also the sorrow of the master. If you want to live a comfortable life, I am afraid that the only way is to be destroyed. The world is changing, and people are also changing. Only by adapting to the times can we go all the way. In my opinion, the master wants to

Too much."

"Gongtai, when you talk like this, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?!" Liu Yu was a little angry.

"My lord is a wise and powerful master, how could you punish me for my unintentional remarks? Besides, today my lord and I are sitting at the same table and discussing things. My lord, you can't be so stingy," Chen Gong said jokingly.

Liu Yu was amused by Chen Gong's words. It seemed that Chen Gong and Ju Shou got along more and became more understanding.

"In life, you often have no choice but to do what you want. My lord, you are not living or struggling alone now. Our subordinates are willing to follow the lord. In addition to glory and wealth, we also want to realize our ambitions and leave a name in history. So here we are.

I would like to say that the days following my lord are the happiest and most fulfilling days for me. I still want to continue to forge ahead and make my name known to future generations. Why does my lord still feel alone and melancholy, making me and other subordinates worried. "

Chen Gong began to criticize Liu Yu's mistakes.

What Chen Gong said makes sense. Liu Yu does not represent one person now. There are countless people behind him who follow his footsteps.

"Listening to your words is like enlightenment." Liu Yu let go of her heart and drank a glass of wine with Chen Gong.

With so many talented people helping him, Liu Yu has nothing to fear. Even if his hands are stained with blood, as long as he creates a peaceful and prosperous age for the people of the world, Liu Yu will have a clear conscience.

"Lord, if you stay here, do you have other ideas, such as taking things a step further?" Chen Gong knew that Liu Yu had recovered her mentality, and tentatively asked them about the things they were most concerned about as subordinates.

"One step closer? There is no use talking about it now." Liu Yu said meaningfully.

Chen Gong was a little disappointed. According to Chen Gong and Jushu's ideas, even if Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor now, it would not be a big deal. Liu Yu's status and status were placed there. No one could refute it. They just didn't know why Liu Yu had not

proclaim oneself emperor.

Liu Yu has his own plan. If he proclaims himself emperor now, he may be attacked by the world. He seems to be the strongest now, but if other princes unite, they will be enough for Liu Yu to drink.

More importantly, Liu Yu had been waiting for Yuan Shu of Shouchun to be the first person.

"But this matter can be prepared step by step." Liu Yu said with a pun.

Chen Gong was so excited that he finally understood that his lord was already preparing to take the next step.
