Chapter 571 Thick Burial of Ma Teng
A few days later, when Tian Kai and Tian Feng's team came outside Luoyang City, they saw that tens of thousands of soldiers were neatly arranged outside Luoyang City, solemn and solemn, and there was a murderous atmosphere far away. Before the soldiers and horses, one person was surrounded by a group of generals. He was dressed in golden armor and sat down red. The color chasing the wind and the red rabbit horse is Lv Bu.
"The king of Linzi has a great face. It seems that the regent came specially to welcome the king of Linzi." Seeing the situation outside Luoyang City from afar, Tian Feng smiled and said to Tian Kai beside him.
"I didn't expect that the regent came to greet him in person. Let's go to the ceremony quickly." Seeing Lv Bu coming to greet him in person, although the soldiers behind Lv Bu were waiting, obviously there was a demonstration in addition to welcoming him. However, since Tian Kai had decided to come to Luoyang, he knew that he would definitely be under the shelter of others in the future, so he was still very happy that Lv Bu could come to greet him in person. Look at the The king of Linzi is not just an empty name.
"Hahaha, the king of Linzi is willing to come to Luoyang, which is really my blessing." Seeing Tian Kai coming, Lv Bu also came with the generals and said with a smile.
"The regent is really defeated. He is just a small assassin in Qingzhou. How dare he be a king in appearance? He is tied with the regent in court, and he also asks the regent to take back his life. As long as he can enjoy his old age in Luoyang and watch the big man become stronger in the hands of the regent step by step, it is enough to wish." Seeing Lv Bu welcoming him, Tian Kai quickly saluted Lv Bu. Although his throne was crowned by Lv Bu, Lv Bu was the king, and he was also the king. This seemed to be comparable to Lv Bu in reputation, but Tian Kai knew the strength in their hands, which was not the same. He occupied it like this. The high position is likely to be hated by others, and it may make it impossible to die, and this is too worth it. Surely none of Lv Bu's subordinates will get the honor of being crowned king.
"Well, I, Lv Bu, have been the prime minister for many years. I work hard for the big man, and it's time to retire. In the future, when the king of Linzi comes to Luoyang, he can share a lot of tedious things for me." Seeing Tian Kai's modesty, Lv Bu came forward and patted Tian Kai's shoulder and said seriously.
"The regent worked hard for the great man. The great man can have today's situation. The regent's contribution is indispensable. I feel that the regent also serves as the prime minister, which is really well-deed. How can others have the prestige of the regent, and why do they cove the position of prime minister?" After listening to Lv Bu's words, Tian Kai was shocked. He thought that Lv Bu was going to give up the prime minister's seat to himself. He suddenly became anxious and said with a smile.
Tian Kai dares to get involved in the position of prime minister. If he sees that Emperor Xian has lost his power, the power of the prime minister is unique in the world. If he coveted the position of prime minister, isn't it clear that the old birthday star hangs himself and is afraid that he will not die?
"Ha ha ha, I have made up my mind on this matter. The king of Linzi doesn't have to worry about it. I already know the candidate of the prime minister." Seeing Tian Kai's dissuasion, Lv Bu waved his hand and said affirmatively. However, then he turned his head and said, "It's really inappropriate to let the Prime Minister lead the power alone. I intend to reset the position of the three princes and co-chair the government with the Prime Minister. I don't know what the king of Linzi wants?"
"Well, when I first came here, I was really careless about the affairs of the court. Let's do everything according to the regent's will." Although Lv Bu looked like he wanted to ask himself, it was obvious that Tian Kai had no idea about these things, so he could only push everything to Lv Bu. Anyway, Tian Kai knew that his coming to Luoyang was just a foil, and the decision-making power of everything was still in Lv Bu's hands. It was better for Lv Bu to do it. It's Lv Bu's credit, and it won't be his fault if he doesn't do it well.
"Ha ha, the king of Linzi is indeed deeply righteous. Let's go to the city." While talking, the two of them have come to the gate of Luoyang City.
"I've met the regent, the king of Linzi." Just as they entered the city, two fast horses came from in front of them and sat on them immediately. They were both powerful. They were none other than anyone else. It was Ma Chao who came from Xiliang and Gongsun Xu who came all the way from Bingzhou.
Although their father, Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, and Gongsun Zan, the king of Beiping, have passed away, it has always been a celebration for their father's surname. The purpose of their visit to Luoyang is to inherit their father's throne and correct their father's name. Although Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan died with great honor, it was also a great comfort for the dead to be crowned king with different surnames after death.
"What are you two going to do about this?" Seeing the two coming together, Lv Bu asked puzzledly.
"I heard that the King of Linzi has arrived, and I'm here to welcome him." Seeing Lv Bu ask, Gongsun Xu quickly opened his mouth and said obediently.
"I have been in Xiliang for a long time, and I have heard of the deeds of the King of Linzi. This time I just want to see the demeanor of the King of Linzi." At this time, Ma Chao, who was beside him, also said. Originally, since Ma Teng's death, there has been an invisible gap between Ma Chao and Lv Bu, so that after Ma Chao arrived at Xiliang, he didn't have much contact with Lv Bu. He just occasionally asked someone to give something to his sister Ma Yunlu. However, this time Lv Bu became the king of Ma Teng, which made Ma Chao's view of Lv Bu a lot. When I came to Luoyang this time, I was also willing to talk and laugh with Lv Bu. Obviously, it meant to relieve the past.
"How dare you. Although you two are young, you are so grand that I am a little ashamed of my old bones, but I don't know who you are? Looking at the posture of the two talking with Lv Bu, Tian Kai knew that their identities were not low, but he must have never seen them, and he couldn't guess.
"At that time, I forgot to introduce them. These two are Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, and Gongsun Xu, the son of Gongsun Zan, the king of Beiping. This time, they came to the court to report on behalf of their father." Seeing that Tian Kai didn't know the two, Lv Bu smiled and introduced them to Tian Kai.
"It turned out to be two princes, but I didn't expect them to be so young and famous all over the world. The king of Xiliang and the king of Beiping are both heroes of the old generation all over the world. Their sons are not inferior to them. With their momentum in those years, the formation is terrible. Although Tian Kai looked at the two of them, he couldn't help but look at Ma Chao's face twice. It is said that Ma Chao has the strength to compete with Lv Bu. He has a Xiliang iron horse in his hand, and his combat effectiveness is strong. Even Lv Bu's wolf horse dares not easily respond to its sharpness, and his heart is greatly touched. Ma Teng has such a son, no He was also defeated by Lv Bu, and even his son became Lv Bu's vassal. At the same time, he was lucky that he did not go to war with Lv Bu. Otherwise, he was afraid that Xiliang Ma Chao could not fight against himself in Qingzhou.
"King of Linzi, I'm going to ask them to inherit the throne left by their father. I don't know what the king of Linzi is going on?" At this time, Lv Bu suddenly asked, and also expressed his support for Ma Chao and Gongsun Xu's different surnames.
"The son inherits his father's business. This is naturally a good thing. I think these two are the best among people, and they will definitely live up to their father's reputation." Seeing Lv Bu's words, Tian Kai naturally would not object. He pushed the boat and gave the two of them a favor.
"Regent, I'm not in a hurry to inherit the throne. I still have a ruthless feeling. Please accept it." Speaking of this, I saw Ma Chao and Gongsun Xu turn around and get off the horse at the same time, kneeling in front of Lv Bu and saying in unison.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you have to do it?" Seeing the two kneeling, Lv Bu turned around and got off the horse, patted them on the shoulder and said.
"After the death of my father, my subordinates brought my father's mention back to Xiliang for burial. Now my father has a different surname, Wang Guangzong Yaozu, and I want to bury my father again with the courtesy of the prince, and ask the regent to complete it." This time, Ma Chao said first.
"Get up quickly. What do I think it is? This matter is a matter of course. Well, you can go back to prepare immediately. In a few days, I will take Yunlu to Xiliang to bury the King of Xiliang again. Do you think it's so good?" Seeing that Ma Chao had such a request, there was nothing he didn't agree to, so he immediately said.
For Lv Bu, Ma Teng's title was originally an opportunity to reconcile with Ma Chao. Now how could he refuse Ma Chao's request? In addition to agreeing, Lv Bu also had to go to Xiliang in person to show the importance he attached to Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang. At the same time, you can also take a look at what Ma Chao has done in Xiliang over the years. .
"So, thank you, Regent, for your success." Hearing Lv Bu's words, Ma Chao quickly thanked him.
"Congratulations to Brother Ma Chao, you can get what you want. It's just that my father died in Fan Yang. I'm afraid that even a corpse may not be able to be preserved. I dare to ask the regent to send troops to Hebei to sweep away the Yuan family and avenge my father. Seeing that Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, could be buried as a king, Gongsun Xu suddenly became silent, and then begged to Lv Bu with some choked. At that time, Gongsun Xu left Fan Yang under the protection of Zhao Yun and finally escaped his life. Since then, he has been thinking of revenge for Gongsun Zan. However, he really has no power in his hands, and he feels that the princes are strife in troubled times. Even Lv Bu will not want to avenge Gongsun Zan, so he can only stay by Gao Shun's side and constantly hone himself. I hope that one day I can avenge my father in the future, but when Gongsun Xu learned that Lv Bu was the king of Gongsun Zan, he suddenly felt that his opportunity had come. Because Lv Bu mentioned Gongsun Zan's story, it is likely to be an excuse to attack Hebei, and this is the opportunity for Gongsun to continue. So Gongsun said goodbye to Gao Shun and came to Luoyang day and night. The purpose was to promote Lv Bu's attack on Hebei.
"A hundred good filial piety comes first. I, a great man, establish the country with filial piety. Naturally, I can understand your mood. Don't worry, I'll send soldiers and horses, and you will personally lead them to Hebei to pick up the remains of the king of Peiping. As for revenge, everything will be discussed from Xiliang. What do you think? Unlike his attitude towards Ma Chao, although Lv Bu agreed to send troops to retrieve Gongsun Zan's body, he did not agree to Gongsun's continued expedition to Hebei.
