Liu Feng knew that once he entered Luoyang, Liu Hong would definitely keep him in Luoyang and never let him leave because of Liu Hong's fear of him.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, his status as a supervisor to quell the Liangzhou rebellion was granted by Han Ling Emperor Liu Hongte.

The mission is to eliminate all the rebels in Liangzhou and completely put down the rebellion.

Now that his mission has been completed, according to etiquette, he must go to Luoyang and enter the palace to report to the emperor.

If he did not go and returned directly to Liaodong, it would be a crime of disrespect. Even if he had just put down the Liangzhou rebellion and had great achievements, being disrespectful to the emperor would be enough to offset these achievements.

Moreover, there were many people in the court who had opinions about him, such as General He Jin, who ranked first among the military attaches in the world, and had always regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

Liu Feng had already learned from Lu Zhi that the last time he conquered Goguryeo, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had no fear of him, but was only excited to expand his territory.

Originally, Liu Hong just wanted to make himself the King of Liaodong to show his recognition for his great achievements in pacifying the foreign tribes.

It was all because of He Jin's instigation that Liu Hong realized that he had achieved great success and became fearful.

As for why He Jin is so dissatisfied with himself, the reason must be very simple.

That is, Liu Feng's performance was so outstanding that although He Jin was the head of the military attache, he did not have any credit. He was worried that as Liu Feng's weight in front of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty became more and more important, Liu Hong would ignore his status.

Even if Liu Feng continues to perform meritorious service, according to Liu Hong's high regard for Liu Feng at the time, Liu Feng might one day replace him.

Although He Jin did not make any mistake, it was impossible for Liu Hong to remove his post of general and give it to Liu Feng. However, if Liu Hong was happy one day and restored his original post of chief commander to Liu Feng, He Jin would not be willing to see it. Arrived.

After all, the Grand Sima and the Grand General are both ranked as the"Two Greats", and they are both the highest military officers. The Grand Sima is even ranked as the"Shang Gong", and his official position is still higher than that of the Three Dukes.

As the saying goes,"The trees that stand tall in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." In order to ensure his position as the highest military attache, He Jin would naturally find a way to make Liu Hong fear Liu Feng's achievements.

Therefore, if Liu Feng returns directly to Liaodong, He Jin will definitely seize this opportunity to impeach Liu Feng.

What's more, even if He Jin didn't say anything, Liu Hong was already jealous of himself and would be dissatisfied with himself because of this matter.

After completing the mission, instead of returning to Luoyang to resume his life, he returned to the fiefdom privately, which was tantamount to absconding in fear of crime.

Maybe Liu Hong would think that this was because Liu Feng was arrogant and arrogant, relying on favor and not taking himself seriously. In this way, Liu Feng's"double intention" was confirmed.

What makes Liu Feng even more worried is that if he returns to Liaodong directly, Liu Hong may think that Liu Feng is afraid of being imprisoned in Luoyang. This may mean that Liu Feng has already had the idea of ​​​​rebellion.

This situation will undoubtedly make Liu Hong directly order Liu Yan of Youzhou to attack Liaodong, and even send additional imperial troops to quell the"rebellion" in Liaodong.

Therefore, whether it was based on the impeachment of He Jin and others, or Liu Hong's fear, Liu Feng had to go to Luoyang.

Of course, he discussed this matter with Guo Jia before going to Liangzhou to put down the rebellion. Guo Jia made the above analysis at that time and told Liu Feng that he must meet Liu Hong to avoid unnecessary trouble.

As for how to escape after entering Luoyang, Liu Feng and Guo Jia have already made plans.

After arriving in Luoyang, in order to completely reassure Liu Hong, Liu Feng left three thousand red-blooded dragon riders outside the city and ordered Ma Chao to stay outside the city to support him.

Then he entered Luoyang City alone and waited for Liu Hong's summons.

The news that Liu Feng led his army back to Luoyang was reported to Liu Hong by a spy as early as when he was still on the road.

In this regard, Liu Hong said that he would continue to closely monitor Liu Feng's every move, especially to see how he dealt with the three thousand accompanying cavalry after he arrived in Luoyang.

The reputation of the Red Blood Dragon Riders now makes Liu Hong very afraid.

If Liu Feng left the Red Blood Dragon Rider outside the city and entered Luoyang alone, it would prove that he was at least loyal to him and had no intention of rebellion.

But if he stayed outside the city and set up camp with the Red Blood Dragon Riders, it would mean that he was already wary of Luoyang.

So when Liu Hong knew that Liu Feng entered the city alone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to summon Liu Feng to the palace first.

As Longcheng Newspaper opened branches in various places, Luoyang, as the capital, naturally had a newspaper office and purchased a mansion in Luoyang.

So after Liu Feng entered the city, he directly found the residence of Longcheng Newspaper to stay and rest.

Not long after, a young eunuch found Liu Feng and told him that Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong wanted to see him.

Naturally, Liu Feng couldn't refuse this, and he also wanted to meet Liu Hong in person to see what his attitude was towards him.

So, Liu Feng entered the palace under the leadership of the eunuch and met Liu Hong.

It had been more than a year since they last met, but Liu Hong seemed to have aged ten years. Even though Liu Feng had been prepared, he was still shocked.

Although Liu Hong was already wary of Liu Feng in his heart, he would not show it on the surface.

He said to Liu Feng:"We haven't seen you for many days. Tianlin is still so heroic, but I am getting older and older."

Liu Feng quickly responded:"Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. He can naturally live a long life. Don't Think about it."

After hearing Liu Feng's compliment, Liu Hong didn't say much and just smiled.

Then he said:"Last time you led the army to defeat Goguryeo and opened up territory for me, I had the intention to summon you to the palace and give you a reward in person. It's a pity that you were injured and unconscious at the time, so I had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, you were injured. It's nothing serious. Now you have suppressed the rebels in Xiliang for me. Your achievements are getting bigger and bigger. I don't even know how to reward you."

After hearing this, Liu Feng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said,"Your Majesty's words are serious. Yes.

I am a minister of the Han Dynasty and a relative of the Liu family. I should contribute my own strength to the country of the Han Dynasty and never dare to ask for rewards."

After hearing this, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and said,"Don't worry, I won't It will make the hero bleed and cry, and I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow morning."

Liu Hong summoned Liu Feng this time just to test his attitude.

Since Liu Feng seemed to have no objections, Liu Hong asked him to go back.

Early the next morning, Liu Feng arrived at the court on time.

In the morning meeting, Liu Hong first summarized the Liangzhou Rebellion and affirmed the achievements of Liu Feng, Zhang Wen and others.

Later, Liu Hong emphasized that during the battle, these strategies to destroy the enemy were all based on Liu Feng's strategies. The two rebel leaders before and after him, as well as the two initiators of the Xiliang Rebellion, were killed by Liu Feng himself.

Therefore, Liu Feng should be credited with the first contribution this time.

Later, Liu Hong announced the reward to Liu Feng in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:"Because Liu Feng, the king of Liaodong, has made great contributions in quelling the rebellion and has repeatedly defeated the harassment of foreign tribes.

I think his contribution is very great. In addition, Liu Feng is a descendant of the royal family and has been awarded the title." The throne, therefore Liu Feng is hereby given the title of King of Side by Side."

After Liu Hong finished speaking, everyone in the court was shocked.
