Chapter 280
The east gate of Luoyang City was bustling with people and vehicles.
As the most prosperous city in the Han Dynasty, Luoyang had a population of 500,000.
The number of people entering and leaving just one city gate was huge.
Rumble!
A burst of hurried horse hooves came from the wilderness in the distance.
The people waiting to enter and exit the city gate stopped and looked.
"What's going on?" The guard who was notified by the guard came to investigate and found that a hundred elite cavalrymen were galloping towards Luoyang.
"Where are the cavalrymen coming from?" The gate guard frowned.
Such momentum had never been seen before when other elite cavalrymen from other places came.
The team gradually arrived in front of the city gate. Under the attention of the city gate guards and the people, the leading young man stopped his warhorse and turned over to dismount.
A series of actions were completed in one go, clean and neat.
Swish!
The cavalry team led by that man moved in a uniform manner, as if they were carved out of the same mold.
Even the dismounting movements were so neat.
This surprised the city gate guards and the people.
Compared to the elite team of 100 people, the other team was much worse.
Especially the leading general, who was shorter and darker than the young cavalry general.
The difference was huge.
Cao Cao was so depressed.
He thought to himself, don't stand with Liu Yu in such occasions in the future.
Too embarrassing.
Other aspects are easy to say, at least you can learn and grow.
But the posture and face are innate.
You can't change it even if you want to.
"Which imperial army is this? Why are they so elite? Why haven't I seen them in Luoyang before?"
In the crowd in front of the city gate, people chattered.
"It's obviously not the Imperial Guards. The black dwarf cavalry commander is the Imperial Guards. I don't know where the 100-man team is from."
Not only did the people not know, but the gatekeeper was also confused.
There were often teams from all over the country entering the capital, but it was the first time to see such a majestic cavalry.
Whether it was the cavalry commander, or the other three big men who looked difficult to provoke, or the ordinary cavalry, they were all so strong.
Although it was a team of 100 people, its momentum was more shocking than that of a thousand soldiers.
Standing in front of him, it was as if a mountain was pressing on the gatekeeper's heart, which greatly increased his pressure.
It became difficult to breathe.
Liu Yu stepped forward and introduced himself.
"What? You...you are Liu Chengzhi, the magistrate of Tanghai County?!" The gatekeeper couldn't believe it.
He stared at the other person with wide eyes, thinking in his heart that he was indeed a hero.
"So this is the Tanghai County Magistrate!"
The news spread instantly among the crowd inside and outside the city gate, and the people exclaimed.
The news of Liu Yu's consecutive victories has been widely spread in Luoyang City.
The gossip became more and more exaggerated.
It was said that the Tanghai County Magistrate possessed the magical art of Qimen Dunjia, which was very restraining against the Yellow Turban magic.
The people inside and outside the city gate were excited to see such a hero today.
"Why are you standing there without saying a word?" Zhang Fei frowned and asked in a rough voice.
The garrison came to his senses and immediately replied: "There is an order from the palace. Whenever the Tanghai County Magistrate arrives, go to the palace immediately to meet him!"
The garrison conveyed the order issued by the palace before.
"Please ask the Tanghai County Magistrate to go to the palace as soon as possible."
"Okay." Liu Yu replied, and led the soldiers into the city with horses.
He declined Cao Cao's kindness and did not take people to settle in the other party's mansion.
He turned around and told Chen Qun to take three generals and soldiers to find an inn to temporarily settle down, and then went to the palace alone.
After arriving in front of the palace, Liu Yu stated his identity, and after a body search to confirm that he was not carrying any weapons, he was led into the palace by a young eunuch.
After two silver coins were stuffed in, the young eunuch smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Liu Yu asked about something, and the young eunuch told him slowly.
"Your Majesty is doing business in Xiyuan, and most of his time has been spent there in the past."
"Before the Yellow Turbans rebelled, Your Majesty had no time to play, and has not been there for a long time."
"But I never thought that the Yellow Turbans, which were gaining momentum, were easily defeated by County Magistrate Liu."
"Your Majesty has been in a good mood these days."
"Restart the Xiyuan market again."
Liu Yu followed the young eunuch, listened to the other party's story, opened the system in his mind, and searched for the life of Emperor Liu Hong.
Building pedestrian streets, setting up Jiming Hall, giving up horses and riding donkeys, teasing dog officials, selling official positions and titles...
The deeds of Emperor Ling of Han are too numerous to mention in both official and unofficial history.
Liu Hong was incompetent, but he had good luck.
Despite his eating, drinking and having fun, and encountering various natural and man-made disasters, he reigned for 21 years.
But he died suddenly in the end, which was a punishment for his body being hollowed out.
Many strange things happened during Emperor Ling's reign.
The most interesting one was the ShizhongA hen in the government office suddenly turned into a rooster.
She didn't lay eggs, and she had nothing to do every day, just crowing with other roosters.
This is not a wild history.
It is a story recorded in Zizhi Tongjian.
In the eyes of people at that time, strange things in the sky must be accompanied by chaos, which is a punishment from heaven.
In the later period of Liu Hong's reign, whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion or plague and famine, they broke out in various parts of the Han Dynasty.
Finally, the last bit of the Han Dynasty was exhausted.
It fell apart, and the princes fought for hegemony.
From then on, there was no strong Han Dynasty.
Liu Yu walked and watched in the system, including the general records of the people around Emperor Liu Hong, and read them all, and had a rough idea in his mind.
In front of the West Garden Gate, the little eunuch went in to report, and someone came out to greet him.
"I am the eunuch Jian Shuo." The tall man who came out of the West Garden said sharply.
The sharp voice, with the unique characteristics of the eunuch, was unusually distinct.
It was totally different from the other person's tall stature and broad shoulders.
Liu Yu bowed his hands and smiled and replied: "Hello, Jian Changshi."
"I am the magistrate of Tanghai County in Youzhou, Liu Yu Liu Chengzhi."
Jian Shuo looked him up and down, his eyes gradually brightened.
A small magistrate from remote Youzhou was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him.
He was calm and capable, without any official flattery.
This surprised Jian Shuo.
Liu Yu was tall and handsome, and he was the kind of person who made people happy at a glance.
"Heroes have always been born young." Jian Shuo exclaimed, "Tanghai County Magistrate is so strong, he must be extraordinary in martial arts."
"No wonder he can lead the county soldiers to win battles one after another."
Jian Shuo, who has always been fond of martial arts, felt happier the more he looked at Liu Yu.
He couldn't help but say in his heart.
This person has such a figure, and he is very good at leading troops to fight.
I'm afraid that if His Majesty sees this, he will praise it again and again?
"Your Majesty is buying goods in the garden, County Magistrate Liu, please wait for a while." Jian Shuo's tone changed unconsciously.
The little eunuch watching on secretly took a breath.
They knew the temper of the big eunuch in front of them very well.
They would not give a very good face to some ministers in the court.
But he was so kind to this little county magistrate in front of him, who came from the remote Youzhou.
This scene is really rare.
Liu Yu was prepared. He took out a few small glass pieces from his arms and said with a smile: "Attendant Jian, do you think I have the potential to be a businessman?"
As he said that, he handed over a small glass piece without any expression.
