Chapter 130 Epilogue (1)

The celestial phenomena and climate of the first year of Yongjia are indescribable strange compared to previous years. The turn of autumn and winter should be when the sky is high and the clouds are light, but these days are almost dark every day. The thick clouds are pressed down layer by layer, sometimes too low, so that the pegasus, dragons and phoenixes carved on the towering eaves of Jingfu Hall are like jumping into the clouds at any time. Occasionally, the clouds spread a little, and the exposed sky is not bright, but rust-colored, lifeless. Just like the legendary demons covered the jade hall with a giant palm covering the sky, making people feel a little confused and a little scared.

In the square in front of Jingfu Hall, a ox cart stopped. The follower jumped down from the shaft, and then carefully supported Liu Yu out of the ox cart.

The recent cold and humid climate has caused Liu Yu to be repeatedly troubled by paralysis. Not only are his lower limbs swollen, his skin burning like fire, but his bones are sore and unbearable. In the past few days, there have been even cysts, and a bean-like lump emerged from the back of his hands, which was painful when touched. King Donghai was worried about his health, so he personally sent people to find many famous doctors to treat them, and gave them many precious medicinal materials such as rhino horns and musk. However, his condition has been slowly deteriorating, not to mention healing. Under the repeated torture of the illness, Liu Yu's face has become much older than last year. People who are less than fifty years old have obviously loosened and fell on their cheeks, necks, etc., and a feeling of bleakness is clearly revealed between their eyebrows and eyes.

After Liu Yu slowly put his feet on the ground, the coachman drove the cattle across the road and went to the side corner of the square. The unique "Geleng" sound of the wheels and wheels rolled over the stone pavement suddenly reminded him of the collision of several joints and bones at the knees and hips, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

The follower hurriedly came up to support him. Liu Yu waved his hand and asked him to retreat. Then he took out a few official documents from the inner bag of the robe and took a look, then put them back.

The building of Jingfu Hall is magnificent and has a wide area. It is not a simple hall, but a huge building complex including a series of partial halls, including Lixing, Anchang, Yanxiu, Qingyan, Yongning, Chengguang, etc. Between the building halls, in addition to the gorgeous corridors, there are countless circling and flying buildings, like colorful dances dancing in the sky, drawing beautiful arcs.

Xuchang was originally Xu County in Yingchuan County during the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Cao Wei moved to the Han Dynasty to Xu County and then there was a palace building. Emperor Wu regarded the emperor as the emperor to fight against unjust officials, and then conquered the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty. By the second year of Huangchu, Emperor Wen Cao Pi changed Xu County to Xuchang. In the sixth year of Taihe of Cao Wei, Emperor Ming went east to govern the Xuchang Palace. He set up this palace because he was afraid of the heat of summer, and spent more than 8 million yuan in total. Because the project was too extravagant, even He Yan, a famous minister who lived a glitzy life, specially wrote the "Jingfu Palace Fu" to satirize.

At the beginning of the year, King Donghai led a large army out of Xuchang and moved into Jingfu Hall in the former Wei Palace. Of course, this move was quite suspicious of usurpation, but King Donghai was a royal family member, also had military power, and remotely controlled the government. He was so arrogant that he was so arrogant. Who dared to say that he was not?

Unfortunately, King Donghai himself had no martial arts strategy and lacked a commander who could truly command the army. For several months, hundreds of thousands of troops had to work hard in vain, but his achievements in military affairs were not good. The Qingxu bandits Wang Mi, Liu Ling, Cao Li and others became increasingly furious, and they were rampant in prefectures and counties, and they were still difficult to subdue. As a result, local officials in the Central Plains gradually complained, and even the news spread to the Luoyang court. This made King Donghai more anxious and often deliberately showed people the power of martial arts.

At this time, Liu Yu looked around and saw that on the jade-colored stairs surrounding the Jingfu Hall, there were two warriors wearing armor and holding long halberds every fifth level. Within his vision, the total number of warriors was nearly a thousand, which was extremely majestic. Unfortunately, perhaps because he had been on duty for too long, or perhaps because he was so loose when practicing, these warriors all had their eyes scattered and their standing postures were loose.

Liu Yu's younger brother, Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, was a general who was very good at using troops. He naturally knew what a real elite soldier should look like.

He moved his gaze away, shook his head, and sighed. Just beside him, a group of servants and maids lined up in a loose line, sweeping the fallen leaves all over the ground from the east end of the square in front of Jingfu Palace to the west. In terms of the movements, it seemed to be slightly better than those warriors.

The main hall of Jingfu Hall has three front, middle and back, and the front hall and the supporting palaces on both sides connect other palaces; the nave is the largest, and various rituals are held here; and the day-to-day King of Donghai lives in the back hall. In addition, important counselors are often summoned to the back hall to discuss secretly.

In terms of the intimacy with King Donghai, Liu Yu was not as good as Pan Tao and Pei Miao. However, Liu Yu was once the prefect of Yingchuan and assisted King Hejian Sima Hu in Xuchang. He was far more familiar with military and political affairs near Xuchang. Therefore, the number of King Donghai summoned him in these days was the most. But this section of the road was a bit difficult for Liu Yu, who was weak in physique. The ups and downs of corridors were very laborious and even more unhappy.

After Liu Yu had only walked halfway, two other two rushed up. He looked back and recognized that they were two familiar young subordinates in the royal family, so he nodded slightly. The two subordinates hurriedly returned the favor. They did not dare to surpass Liu Yu, so they had to follow Liu Yu step by step.

Liu Yu smiled apologetically at them and speeded up a little. After walking along an uphill staircase, he felt his legs muscles twitching and sweating on his forehead, so he had to reach out to hold the railing to rest.

At this time, a voice said, "Mr. Qingsun, do you need someone to help?"

When Liu Yu heard the sound, he turned to look at him and saw that the Lord of Jingling County was standing there from a distance, as if he had just walked out from behind the corridor.

The lord of Jingling County was wearing a long skirt with wide sleeves and fluttering wide sleeves. On the green multi-fold skirt was a phoenix woven with silver thread. As her steps moved lightly, the phoenix shimmered with silver light echoed the gorgeous accessories on her upper body, which not only highlighted her youthful beauty, but also showed a sense of elegance and luxury. She was surrounded by many maids, and she was indeed like a peacock walking through the many ordinary birds.

The two subordinates were instantly frightened by the county lord's Rong Guang and couldn't help but look slightly absent. When they reacted, they bowed down in a little embarrassed manner and then stepped back and avoided from afar.

"Thank you for your care from the county lord. I'm not seriously injured, I'm just tired." Liu Yu let go of his hand holding the railing and saluted the county lord Jingling.

"Then I'll feel relieved. Mr. Qingsun is the shogunate's stronghold, so we must take care of our health." The county magistrate glanced at Liu Yu with concern. She seemed to suddenly remember something, and smiled and said, "By the way, sir, are you going to pay homage to your father? We may be together."

Liu Yusu said, "I want to do it. The county lord asked."
