When most people see Liu Yu's attitude towards Li Gui in the dark room, they should think that Liu Yu is hypocritical. The person who ordered Li Gui to punish him was Liu Yu, and now he pretended to come over to apply medicine to Li Gui. This is not hypocrisy, what is it?

To be honest, hypocrisy is a necessary feature for a king. If it is not hypocritical, how can it become the most powerful force in the troubled times of heroes and chaotic times?

Liu Yu usually talks about how righteous he is, but he has not done much hypocritical things.

Liu Yu really trusts Li Gui. Liu Yu usually doesn't make things difficult for Li Gui. Because Liu Yu knows that Li Gui has always regarded himself as Liu Yu's slave. Since Liu Yu walked out of the palace many years ago, Li Gui's family has followed Liu Yu, and he is the person who has followed Liu Yu the longest. Li Gui is absolutely loyal to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu also entrusted him with important tasks. Li Gui is very committed and rarely disappoints Liu Yu. However, Liu Yu issued a punishment order before, but as the emperor, he could not take back his words.

The emperor's majesty is more important than anything else. Liu Yu had to bear the pain of punishing Li Gui and reminding Chen Gong and others. This was what Liu Yu thought of when he saw Chen Gong and others standing at the gate of the city after returning to Xiangyang. It can be said that after beating Li Gui, he came to show his love for him, and he wiped out all Li Gui's complaints at once, and he would work harder for Liu Yu in the future. He could also warn Chen Gong, Ju Su, Tian Feng, and Liu Yu was still a little smart.

Not to mention whether it is smart or not. Liu Yu used such a method. Li Gui was now happy in the small dark room. Li Gui can now conclude that he is very important in Liu Yu's heart. Since the establishment of the small dark room, Liu Yu has not treated a minister like this.

"Your Majesty still has mine in his heart." Li Gui thought happily. Zhuge Liang, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Guan Yu could not compare with him at all.

Liu Yu walked out of the small dark room. This was the first time he had come to this small dark room. He had never entered it before.

When the guards guarding the small black room saw Liu Yu coming out, they all saluted Liu Yu.

Liu Yu did not express any expression and immediately got on his own frame and headed towards the palace.

By the way, after Chen Gong, Ju Su and Tian Feng came out of the palace, they were all in a state of ups and downs. They now knew Liu Yu's methods. Even Li Gui, the most central one, beat him so badly. They just deceiving the king. If Liu Yu settled the score, the guy who was eating around his neck would definitely be done.

Now Chen Gong, Ju Su, Tian Feng and others can only lament how much they underestimated Liu Yu and overestimated him and others. Now that Liu Yu has caught the handle, it will be difficult to speak in front of Liu Yu in the future.

But this does not mean that Chen Gong, Ju Su and Tian Feng have no gains at all. At least Liu Yu agreed to return to Luoyang according to their plan. But this price is a bit too high for them.

"Two, let's start preparing for Your Majesty's return to Luoyang." Chen Gong put aside all his distractions and started his business.

"Good!" Ju Su and Tian Feng had no objection.

So Chen Gong, Ju Su, and Tian Feng began to discuss the relevant details. After all, Liu Yu came to Xiangyang with great fanfare, and this time he would have to be in a high voice. Necessary preparations are necessary. At the same time, all the civil and military officials in Xiangyang must be notified.

Ju Su was the most sleek among the three. He told his own arrangements. First, he spread the news of Liu Yu's return to Luoyang so that everyone in Jingzhou knew about this. All the leaders and strategists from the Southern Expedition returned to Xiangyang. Then, he asked the Jingzhou family to come out to see off Liu Yu, and at the same time he vaguely expressed that they would give Liu Yu the filial piety.

The last point is to arrange the troops guarding Liu Yu's return to Luoyang.

Chen Gong had no problem and said, "Just do what Gong Yu said."

Tian Feng is a good friend of Ju Shu and has no comment at all.

The three old men were very efficient in their work. Within one day, the whole of Xiangyang knew that Liu Yu was going to return to Luoyang. Chen Gong used the reasons very well. Liu Yu went south to defend the peace of Jingzhou and to rectify the traitors. Now Liu Qi and Liu Cong were both obediently taken away by Liu Yu, and it would be better to use the metaphor that he was afraid of being beaten. Sun Ce in Jiangdong was also beaten back by Liu Yu, and Sun Ce was still worried whether Jiangdong could defend Liu Yu's next attack.

In this way, there will be nothing Liu Yu has to do in Jingzhou. It is time for Liu Yu to go back to Luoyang. After all, as the emperor, it is impossible for him to be in Jingzhou all the time. He needs to take charge of the central Luoyang and stabilize the situation in the whole world.

For a moment, the whole of Xiangyang was shocked. Ordinary people were reluctant to leave. After Liu Yu came to Xiangyang, the atmosphere in Xiangyang was completely renewed. In the past, the children of aristocratic families bullied men and women and violated laws and regulations were directly cut off. The people enjoyed the same peace as those of Luoyang. They didn't know Liu Yu's goodness before, but now they finally knew. In the past, Liu Biao was in Xiangyang, although the entire Jingzhou was very prosperous, it had little to do with most of the people. Now, the officials in Jingzhou are responsible to the people and dare not be like before.

It was like that, and many messy taxes were gone. The officials really didn't dare to do it anymore. They all knew that the Shenwu court treated corrupt officials very ruthlessly, and they didn't dare to joke about their own wealth and life. So the people were unwilling to let Liu Yu leave. But they had no reason to let Liu Yu stay in Jingzhou. The emperor should have a place where the emperor lives. Although Xiangyang is good, it is a small place that cannot tolerate the emperor's honor. It is already a blessing they have cultivated in eight lifetimes to be able to see the emperor's true appearance in their lives.

The people were all inquiring about when Liu Yu was leaving. They were planning to meet Liu Yu for the last time. It was really the last time. After Liu Yu left Xiangyang, he might never come to Xiangyang in his life.

Unlike the people who are reluctant to leave, the aristocratic families and the former officials in Jingzhou were very happy. Of course, these people were those who were valued by Liu Yu. The families and officials who were valued by Liu Yu, such as the Ma Liang brothers, the Pang family, Wen Pin and others, were not so happy. These days, the aristocratic families and the former officials in Jingzhou were all terrified, worried that they would fall into Liu Yu's hands.

The court's laws are strict. His Majesty has brought many spies in Jingzhou. Some disobedient, restless, or two-faced people have a very tragic ending. Being beheaded is the lightest, at least it can save the family and get a happy life. Liu Yu did not kill in Jingzhou, but just attacked some of the above fools and took their property into military use.

The family confiscation and extermination of the clan did not happen, but it does not mean that Liu Yu didn't want it. The aristocratic families and officials in Jingzhou kept warning their children to be at peace every day and never be caught by the court. If someone is incorrect and goes out to do anything, the elders in the family will have to kill their relatives for justice and abandon the car to protect their commanders.

Now that Liu Yu is going back to Luoyang, they will be under much less pressure. As long as the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Jingzhou will return to its original appearance, and their beautiful life will be back. Thinking of the way they used to be arrogant every day, eating delicacies and wearing silk and satin, the untouchables retreat when they see them, and when they are in a bad mood, they will expose their anger on these untouchables. The untouchables are just humble and dare not resist at all. How happy it is. Now they don’t even dare to eat and drink, because Liu Yu always stares at their property and always implies their filial piety. Isn’t this just treating them as sheep?

Now that Liu Yu is leaving, the aristocratic families and officials in Jingzhou are definitely the happiest group of people, and they almost celebrate.

They all got that Liu Yu left Xiangyang and returned to Luoyang three days later. During this period, they would be very peaceful and would not find any excuses for Liu Yu. Isn’t it just for three days, just stay at home well. After three days, they will feel much more relaxed.

These people didn't have a happy time, and their mood quickly became depressed.

Because Tian Feng sent an envoy to them, saying that Your Majesty was leaving Jingzhou, and the civil and military officials and noble families in Xiangyang must go and see off. It is necessary for the emperor to return to Beijing and hold a huge farewell ceremony. Otherwise, it would be said that the officials in Jingzhou were unfaithful to Liu Yu, and they would find an excuse to deal with them. All the noble families and officials immediately patted their chests and expressed their loyalty. The envoy conveyed a message that made them not so happy. The emperor came to Jingzhou to stay in charge, so that Jingzhou would maintain prosperity. How great is this kindness. This is what the emperor should do and the responsibility of the emperor. But as a minister, how can he ignore the kindness of the emperor? Thunder and rain are all the kindness of the king. Being a minister should show his loyalty and filial piety. If the emperor wants to leave Jingzhou, he must express his loyalty and filial piety. The emperor must be very happy to see the loyalty of the minister.

What they say is high-sounding, but in fact it is to make the aristocratic families and officials in Jingzhou show their filial piety.

In the past, Liu Yu used various excuses to ask for filial piety. Once he was disobedient, he would come to their homes with a large number of soldiers holding swords to talk about their lives and ideals with them. Now that they are leaving, they still have this trick.

The Jingzhou family and officials were unwilling to do so, but in order to make Liu Yu leave quickly, and they still held back if they didn't want to be wielded by Liu Yu at the last moment. Isn't it just filial piety? I gave it all the previous times, but this time I could still give it. As long as Liu Yu did not come back to Jingzhou, Jingzhou would still be their world, and the things they took out could definitely be taken back.

In this way, the aristocratic families and officials in Jingzhou were happy and painfully prepared to welcome Liu Yu back to Luoyang.

Ju Su gave orders to all the civil and military officials brought to Jingzhou in the southern expedition to Jingzhou, asking them to return to Xiangyang immediately. The reason was to directly inform them that after all the civil and military officials arranged everything, they returned to Xiangyang.

One day later, all the civil and military officials were concentrated in Liu Yu's palace, including Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and Ma Liang.

Liu Yu summoned them in the palace and said, "I have been away from the capital for a long time and decided to return to Luoyang. This time I asked you all to come back is to make arrangements for the matter of Jingzhou."

"Wait for your Majesty's order!" Everyone knelt down.

"Jingzhou has been stable, but the situation is subtle, and Jingzhou needs someone to guard it! Zhuge Kongming was able to surpass himself and make great contributions to defeat Jiangdong. I now order Zhuge Liang to be the governor of Jingzhou, preside over the military and political affairs of Jingzhou, suppress rebellions and invasions in various places. At the same time, he continues to serve as the commander of the conquest of Jiangdong." Liu Yu first remembered Zhuge Liang.

"I will thank you for your order!" Zhuge Liang stood up handsomely.

Everyone knows that the position of the governor of Jingzhou will be replaced, but no one would have thought that Liu Yu would let Zhuge Liang be the governor of Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang is half a native of Jingzhou. Now he is serving as the governor of Jingzhou, which is inappropriate in the court's practice. Many ministers are worried that Zhuge Liang will not lose his life in Jingzhou in the future.

But now no one will interfere in this matter. They know that their interference will not affect Liu Yu's decision.

"Jingzhou is very important. Kongming, you must be careful." Liu Yu said instructingly.

"I am obeying Your Majesty's teachings." Zhuge Liang was very excited. Becoming the new governor of Jingzhou was a kind of return home in glory for him.

The Zhuge family was not favored by others in Jingzhou before, and Zhuge Liang has always had the determination to revive the family. Liu Yu arranged for Zhuge Liang to be in Jingzhou to be absolutely at ease with Zhuge Liang. With Zhuge Liang's character, Liu Yu would not worry that Zhuge Liang would do whatever he wanted, but would do better than others. Liu Yu really wanted Zhuge Liang to follow him, but he was not so at ease with others. Only by letting Zhuge Liang take charge of Jingzhou would the slut in Jingzhou would not dare to do anything. Liu Yu would not let Zhuge Liang stay in Jingzhou for a long time, which was a waste. Liu Yu had other plans, but he could not say it now.

"Pang Shiyuan followed me back to Luoyang!" Liu Yu specially reminded Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was very depressed. He had not gained any benefits this time, and His Majesty had no intention of rewarding him. Now he could only watch Zhuge Liang be so prestigious in Jingzhou.

Next, Liu Yu made some arrangements. Pang De continued to sit in Jiangling and monitor the possible movements in Yizhou. Zhang Xiu was still staying in Nanyang, and Zhang Liao stayed in Jingzhou to listen. But Zhang Liao was not here now and didn't know where he was. The white-eyed Ma Liang was appointed as the deputy of Jingzhou and became Zhuge Liang's deputy. The Ma family began to rise in Jingzhou.

Finally, Liu Yu brought both the brothers Cai Mao and Kuai Yue back to Luoyang. These three people are extremely influential figures in Jingzhou, and staying in Jingzhou will affect Zhuge Liang's status.

Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others had no choice but to accept their fate, and they had no way to refuse.
