A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1499
[Chapter 1488 Restless day and night]
Qu Yuangu and his son returned to Luoyang City with a small number of subordinates, feeling very depressed.
Not long ago, I was in control of Luoyang, with countless money and grain, and 30,000 iron cavalry in my hands. When I sneezed, all the officials in Luoyang were so frightened that they couldn’t stand up, but in a short period of time, they could only follow him back to Luoyang. Thousands of people, and Luoyang’s money and food have long been accepted by the Chu army.
When he thought that the gold, silver, wealth, and silk that he had installed in several houses were all rewarded by the Chu army, his heart ached.
For several days in a row, no one came to pay attention, and Menting was left in the cold.
Qu Yuangu was depressed, and Qu Manying was also full of resentment.
But no matter how dissatisfied you are, what can you do?
Luoyang is already the Luoyang of the Chu country, and now he is not thinking about restoring its former glory, but is worried that there are enemies in Luoyang city who are looking for trouble for him.
Qu Yuangu did not forget that when the Northwest Army entered Luoyang, it was a robbery, and the people suffered deeply. Luoyang’s officials and rich men also hated him slowly. Entering the palace, Qu Manying strangled Beitangfeng with a bowstring, which made Luoyang harbor deep hatred.
He started killing people, although Luoyang officials and people dared not make trouble, but because of this, Chu people won Luoyang, and the Northern Han people hated not Chu people, but Qu and his son, the traitorous pair of traitors.
After the Chu army entered the city, they were strictly disciplined and did not commit any crimes against the common people. A few soldiers of the state of Chu committed crimes in the city and were immediately arrested and executed in public. Furthermore, Yue Huanshan issued a proclamation stating that all businesses in Luoyang should be as they were. Those who are engaged in business and business, should read books, if there are soldiers from the state of Chu harassing the people in the city, they can directly submit a report to the newly established military governor. Once the situation is true, the soldiers of the Chu army who harassed the people will be severely punished, regardless of official position. How much military merit, big or small, all are equal.
As a result, the hostility of the officials and people in Luoyang to the Chu army quickly weakened at first, and when the various lines returned to their original state, and the Chu army autumn was no problem, many people were happy with the arrival of the Chu army.
Since the death of Beitang Huan, the princes have competed for the throne. Luoyang City has been at the center of the storm, and the people have suffered greatly. Everyone hopes that Luoyang can restore peace as soon as possible. What the Northern Han Dynasty did not do, wait for the arrival of the people who went abroad. Doing so naturally makes Luoyang officials and people happy.
Moreover, the Chu army did not impose any punishment on the officials in Luoyang, and many officials still retained their original official positions, each performed their own positions, and even received their salaries as usual.
There was no panic among the people and no worries among the officials. In a short period of time, Luoyang returned to calm. Although the flag of the state of Chu was changed at the top of the city, many people felt that nothing had changed much.
But of course, the lives of Qu Yuangu and his son have been turned upside down.
The Northern Han Dynasty perished, but Luoyang still had the remnants of the old officials loyal to the Northern Han Dynasty. These people had no hatred for the people of Chu, but they hated Qu’s father and son.
Even worse, after the Han army returned to Chu, although it was reorganized, many generals in the Han army were brought back to Luoyang.
If Qu Yuangu hadn’t betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, the Han army would not have surrendered without a fight, and Zhong Liao would not have been able to apologise himself. Luoyang had fallen. Qu’s father and son are the biggest sinners. Father and son hate it to the core.
I heard that the people of Chu country are very tolerant towards Zhong Liao’s subordinates, not only reuniting them with their families, but also giving them full freedom.
In the past two days, several generals under Zhong Liao have passed by
Qu Yuangu’s mansion from time to time. Qu Yuangu got the report and hid behind the door to look out, and sure enough, he saw those generals with sabres on their waists. Passing by the door, and when passing by, he stopped for a moment outside the main entrance, staring at the door, his eyes were full of killing intent.
After a few days, Qu Yuangu was exhausted.
Fortunately, he still had some guards under his command, otherwise Qu Yuangu was really worried that those people would rush into the mansion and chop the father and son to pieces.
He was worried during the day, feared at night, and sometimes even suspicious, worried that the guards under him would be bought by Zhong Liao’s people, and when he saw the guards approaching him with a knife, he was frightened. Suddenly he cut his head with a knife.
This kind of torment lasted for many days, and finally waited until Qi Ning sent someone over, saying that the Emperor of Chu had sent someone to send a reward order, and that a banquet was going to be held in the evening, and the father and son were invited to receive the order when they went to the banquet.
Qu Yuangu naturally knew that the intention was of course to officially ennoble himself as the King of Jin, but this time the King of Jin was different from the King of Jin before him. He used to be the King of Jin of the Northern Han Dynasty and was no longer valuable. This time, the State of Chu was conferred. The King of Jin, well, he could be regarded as a king.
He only hoped that after the canonization, the father and son would be able to leave Luoyang as soon as possible, and it would be better if they could go to Jianye. Even if they could not go to Jianye, it would be better to find another place to live.
In order to receive the order, the father and son took a shower and changed clothes, and cleaned up well. After all, these days, they were frightened day and night, and they all looked extremely haggard.
When they went out, the father and son brought dozens of guards to protect them, and both of them were armed with knives, lest someone kill them in the middle of the road.
Fortunately, everything was safe along the way. Although the people on both sides of the road saw the father and son and pointed at them, some even threw eggs and stones over them, but they were protected by guards, and the two came to the General’s Mansion unscathed.
The Great General’s Mansion used to be the residence of Beitangqing, Marquis of Changling. After Beitangqing was imprisoned in Jiugongshan, the residence remained empty. After the Chu army entered the city, Beitangqing’s residence was cleaned up again. Staying here temporarily, tonight’s banquet will be held at the General’s Mansion.
The general’s mansion was heavily guarded, and before the father and son entered the mansion, they naturally had to hand over their sabers.
Qu Yuangu didn’t know how many people were going to the banquet tonight. He was introduced into the lobby, but found that there was no one else in the lobby. Except for the chairman, there were several seats on the left and right sides. It seems that the people attending the banquet tonight will not It was too big, and was introduced to the first guest seat on the left. After the father and son were seated, no one came over. The lobby was a little deserted, and I suddenly felt a little nervous.
Suddenly I heard footsteps, and then I saw two people coming out from the side door. The first one was Qi Ning, who was wearing a brocade suit, and the one behind him was Yue Huanshan, the commander of the Chu army.
The father and son hurriedly stood up and bowed to Qi Ning. Qi Ning had already smiled and said, “No need to be too polite, please take a seat.”
“General Qu, I didn’t invite too many people for tonight’s banquet.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “The emperor’s decree of reward has just arrived recently. It was originally an decree in the past, but
I thought I haven’t had a meal with General Qu yet, so tonight There
is a special banquet, please come in two steps, just after the decree is announced, you can rest when you are drunk.”
Qu Yuangu said with a smile on his face: “My father and son are very grateful for your care.”
“There is another one. I want to mediate the matter.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Someone came to report that there are several generals under Zhong Liao’s command, who have been wandering around your house in recent days, but I don’t know if this is the case?”
Qu Yuan Gu father and son looked at each other and saw Qi Ning’s gentle expression again, Qu Yuangu’s heart was sour, and he cupped his hands and said: “My lord, my father and son abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and surrendered to Da Chu early, but in the eyes of those people, they became a thorn in the eyes. A thorn in the flesh. They are hostile to me, Da Chu, so they also hold grudges against the two of us. They have indeed been around the mansion these few days, and they have a bad heart. Lord, they are not thieves. I hope the lord knows, those people must not stay.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps again, and then saw someone leading a few generals over, Qu Yuangu glanced at it, and knew that it was Zhong Liao’s hands. There were four people who filed to death, and the first one was Zhai Zhi.
These people were all dressed in armor. As soon as they entered the hall, they all looked at Qu and his son, each with a fierce look in their eyes.
Qu Yuangu couldn’t help shrinking back, and when he saw that the sabres of several people were taken away, he was relieved. He thought that this was the residence of the Great General. No matter how daring these people were, would they dare to do it here? He paused, turned his head, and stopped looking at them.
The four of Zhai Zhi entered the hall, first saluting to Qi Ning, and then bowing to Yue Huanshan
, Yue Huanshan raised his hand and said, “Please sit down!”
, the other two are sitting next to Qu Yuangu and Qu Manying.

“Today’s guests are here too.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Everyone, this king just said that there was a little misunderstanding between you. I want to be a mediator and mediate in the middle. From now on, everyone will be a big one. The ministers of Chu, who are in the same hall as ministers, don’t take it to heart if you have any unhappiness in the past, after today’s banquet, the previous grievances and grievances have been written off, but I don’t know if you can give this king this face?” The
hall was silent for a while, Qu Yuangu was the first to say, “Since the lord personally mediates, I should obey.” He picked up the glass and looked at Zhai Zhi without saying much. He just shook the glass, and Qu Manying also picked up the glass. Zhai Zhi hesitated. In the end, he picked up the wine glass, and the other three generals saw it, and they all picked it up. Everyone was silent, and they all drank it.
“That’s very good.” Qi Ning clapped his hands and smiled and said, “The world is set at the beginning, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived. In the future, all of you will help the sage, be loyal to the court, and benefit the people of the world.” He picked up the wine glass and said, “Pour it all down, This cup of wine, this king respects you!”
Everyone poured the wine, all got up, bowed slightly to Qi Ning, and all drank it.
Putting down the wine glass, Qi Ning nodded slightly to Yue Huanshan, then Yue Huanshan got up and said loudly: “The Holy One has a will.” Someone immediately sent an imperial decree. After Yue Huanshan took it, he unfolded the imperial decree, and everyone knelt down. It was only then that Yue Huanshan preached: “Fengtian, the emperor’s edict said: The battle of the Northern Expedition was extremely difficult and difficult. Fortunately, Qu Yuangu abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and the world was unified. Marquis of Zhongyong, please!”
Qu Yuangu was about to thank him when he heard a stern shout: “Dog thief, take your life!”
