In the store, several people talked happily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liu Wen learned what happened to Zhong Liquan and others, and also scolded the Liang brothers and sisters.

"The three of them are loyal and upright people, but now they have no way to serve the country, so it is better to follow me to the Qinghe. The prince has always loved talents, and he will be able to treat the three as guests. Liu Wen said.

"Lord Liu, I am disheartened and determined not to enter the officialdom. This time, I went to Luoyang to thank Lord Duqiao for his former patronage, and then returned to my hometown. Thank you for your kindness. Yang Zhang declined Liu Wen.

"I am now determined to green mountains, find my brother, and then return to the mountains immediately, and never enter the world again." Zhong Liquan also said.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. The two of them buried their talents so much, and the prince must be heartbroken when he knows it. What about this Brother Zhou, are you willing to go to Qinghe with me to serve the prince? Liu Wen said.

"Lord Liu, although I am disabled, as long as I can return to the battlefield to avenge my former comrades-in-arms, I am willing to serve the prince." Zhou Lie said.

"Okay, now that the Qiang in the west of the Han Dynasty, the Xianbei in the north, and the Xiongnu nuisance, the prince will definitely be able to let you return to the battlefield." Liu Wen said with a smile.

"Great, then I'll go to Qinghe with the adults tomorrow?" Zhou Lie asked.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for a few days. Tomorrow, we will go to Luoyang to meet Master Du first. Liu Wendao. It turned out that in the first year of Yongjia, Emperor Chong died, and Li Gu and Du Qiao recommended Liu Garlic as the emperor. Although it was never fate, Liu Garlic has always been grateful for the kindness of Li and Du. Several people agreed that Yang Zhang and Zhou Lie would go to Luoyang with Liu Wenche and horse the next day, while Zhong Liquan stayed in the hotel to wait for news from his brother. The four of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and they didn't give up until the third watch, and they went back to their rooms to rest.

In the dead of night, in Liu Wen's room. Liu Wen held the teacup in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he had something on his mind. The family stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "My lord, if you change the itinerary, I am afraid that the progress of the deployment will be delayed." ”

"I'm thinking about it too. But this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Li and Du, my corpse must be met. We are at the time of employing people, and if we can win these two people, the matter will be half done. In the past, no one introduced him, but this time he met Yang Zhang, which must be the will of God. Early tomorrow morning, you should go back to Qinghe first to speed up the deployment progress. In addition, you send someone to Luoyang overnight to buy some gifts, Lord Du just got a son in September, we can't lose the courtesy of the prince. ”

"Yes," replied the family.

On the second day, in the middle of the city. Because the magnitude of the earthquake is not large, all the houses that collapsed were dilapidated in the poor area, and the rich area was still brightly lit.

In the main hall of the Du Mansion, the old housekeeper Uncle Qin hurriedly came in and saw a guest, about fifty years old, with a protruding skull. looked at it again, and immediately said respectfully: "It turns out that Master Li is here." "This person is none other than the former Tai Lieutenant Li Gu.

"Uncle Qin, every time I come, you are here, why did you show up today?" Li Gu asked with a smile.

Uncle Qin, the old housekeeper, replied: "Back to Lord Li, I was ordered by the master to go out to give porridge before I came back." ”

"Shu Rong really cares about the people affected by the earthquake." Li Gu looked at Du Qiao.

Du Qiao, Zi Shurong, is also more than 50 years old, with short hair and beard, square forehead and thick eyebrows, deep eyes and wide nose, and a righteous body. Du Qiao smiled: "When it comes to caring for the people, Qiao is not as good as Brother Zijian. In February this year, there was a famine in Yangzhou, but Brother Zijian donated all the food stored in his family, and Qiao was not as good as you. ”

"Master, if our family continues to give porridge like this, it won't last for a week." Uncle Qin interjected.

"Don't worry, in two days, the moon will be here. Uncle Qin, from next month, our food will be halved, and the surplus grain will be saved to continue the porridge. Ducho said.

"This ......" Uncle Qin looked embarrassed.

"The big man is hungry for a few meals, do you want Zhen'er to accompany you to starve?" It was a woman of about forty years of age, who had no ornaments, but who had an extraordinary temperament, and who came in from the inner hall with a baby in her arms.

Li Gu got up and said, "Madam, Zijian is polite. ”

Master Li smiled. Mrs. Du returned the salute.

Li Gu was very fond of the baby, and stepped forward to ask for a hug, Mrs. Du smiled and sent the swaddling clothes to Li Gu's arms, Li Gu said: "Shurong, you are old and have a son, it is really rare, but you can't lose your wife and child." Look at this little fellow, with an impatient face, he must have heard your father's words and become angry. Li Gu teased the child as he spoke.

"Zhen'er has just turned two months, how much can I eat? He also feeds milk. In this way, Uncle Qin, Mrs. Qin's meals will be as usual, and the rest of the people, including mine, will be halved. Ducho said.

"Yes." Uncle Qin was helpless.

"Shurong, this kid is called a shocking word?" Li Gu asked.

"Master Li, you don't know, just after this name, Luoyang was hit by an earthquake, which is quite unlucky. But the old man likes to be ruthless. Mrs. Du said.

"How do you learn from people, gods, and gods? Zijian, I gave this name to commemorate one person. Ducho said.

"Your mentor, Yang Zhen, known as Confucius in Kansai?" Li Gu immediately thought of this person.

"Exactly, the teacher Yang Gong is a great Confucian, upright, fair and honest official, I hope that the dog can be like Yang Gong in the future, diligent and loyal to the country, and establish a righteous dynasty."

"Be diligent and loyal, stand up for the right color, okay, take the name of Yang Gong, and get it well." Li Gu pondered it and felt wonderful.

"Master Li, do you also think the word is good? No wonder you can talk, forget it, I'll take the child to sleep, you two can talk. Mrs. Du took the child and left the main hall.

"Zijian, can you give Zhen'er a word today?" Dujo asked.

"Shurong, he is twenty years old, and he is only crowned. Why did you pick up the word for Zhen'er so early? Li Gu replied.

"People live for 70 years, I have a son after I have a prophet of destiny, and I am pessimistic about whether I can live in the world in 20 years. Today happens to be your great erudition, if you give him words, Zhen'er will also be blessed. Ducho explained.

"If you say that, I can't excuse it, haha. Originally, I didn't have any good words to recommend, but I heard you say the reason for taking the name of Yang Gong just now, but now I have it. At present, the court is in need of a person who is upright and upright, and we may really have to count on Zhen'er and their generation. How about calling it a positive dynasty? Li Gu said.

"Zhengchao, Kuang Zhengchao! Wonderful, wonderful. Thank you, Brother Zijian, this child's name and words are complete. ”

"Du Zhen, the word is facing up. yes, that's great. Uncle Qin, the old housekeeper next to him, also praised him. Suddenly, a young servant came in and whispered to Uncle Qin.

"It seems that there is a guest at home, Shurong, I won't bother." Li Gu got up to leave.

"Brother Zijian, don't worry, Uncle Qin, what's the matter?" Du Qiao stopped Li Gu and asked Uncle Qin.

"Master, Chen Liu, Yang Zhang, Qinghe, Wang Jiacheng, Liu Wenyi, and others ask to meet." Uncle Qin replied.

"Yang Zhang, how is he with Liu Wen?" Du Qiao said, "Brother Zijian, it's an eventful time, I really can't figure out why Liu Wen came." Would you like to stay and keep an eye on me? ”

"That's fine." Li Gu sat down again.

Uncle Qin led Yang Zhang, Liu Wen, and Zhou Lie into the hall. The three of them knelt together, and Yang Zhang was grateful for Du Qiao's kindness, and his eyes were moist. Liu Wen was very happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that Li and Du would all see it today. Yang Zhang told all the reasons before and after, and Du Qiao asked Uncle Qin to take Yang Zhang and Zhou Lie to rest in the side hall first.

Liu Wendao: "Lord Du, Lord Li, the prince has already had the intention to come to visit in person, but he is entangled in government affairs, and he really can't get out, so he ordered the villain to come over to say hello." ”

"Lord Lao has bothered, but Li has been idle for more than a year, and he is no longer an official of the imperial court, so Liu Cheng is not good to call me an adult anymore." Li Gu replied.

"Master Li has said it, the two adults have recommended the prince to the throne, how dare the old slave make a mistake." Liu Wen replied.

"The prince of Qinghe has all the virtues and talents, and everyone in the world respects him, and the two of us just follow the voice of the people, but we don't dare to take credit. What's more, the new monarch was established early, so let's not talk about this. Ducho said.

"The prince is virtuous, but he is blessed, and there are no capable people around him, so he can only watch the brothers and sisters of the Liang family set up a new monarch according to their own wishes." Liu Wen said.

Du Qiao and Li Gu glanced at each other. Du Qiao said: "Hey, let's only talk about family life today, regardless of government politics." ”

Liu Wen suddenly knelt down and cried: "The old slave Liu Wen has the courage to fight for a little luck for the prince today. If the two adults are willing to protect the prince, the Han government and the opposition will inevitably take on a new look. ”

Du Qiao and Li Gu were shocked.

Liu Wen continued: "Master Li is dedicated to the country and the people, but he ended up being impeached and removed from office; Master Du is even more bent on opposing the traitorous party. In this Luoyang earthquake, the three dukes were dismissed, but the imperial court has changed the order of Situ Zhao Jie to be the captain, Sikong Yuan Tang to be the Situ, the former Taiwei Hu Guang changed the order of Sikong, but Lord Du is still idle at home, and it must be Liang Ji who is the obstacle. The two adults are regarded as thorns in the flesh by the traitorous party, aren't they still chilling? ”

Du Qiao sat down and said: "Although the traitor has been arrogant for a while, he has been invincible since ancient times. The new monarch is still young, he inherited the great cause early, and he has not established his majesty, and the ministers should support him with one heart. As soon as he becomes the new monarch and takes over the power, he will be able to eradicate the traitors and revive the government and the opposition. ”

"The new monarch has always looked at Liang Ji's imminent politics, and it is difficult to make a difference. All the two adults thought and did was to revitalize the Han family and save the country. My prince has both virtue and power, which is not comparable to the new monarch. Could it be that the two adults want to see the reappearance of Wang Mang's change of dynasty? Liu Wen argued.

Du Qiao said: "The prince of Qinghe has no chance to take the throne, it has already been a foregone conclusion, and it is tantamount to Wang Mang's actions to seek this matter again." ”

Liu Wendao: "My prince is an authentic member of the Han family, how can he change the dynasty?" Two adults, in order to keep the Han Dynasty from falling into the hands of the next surname, please change to the king of Qinghe. ”

Du Qiao was about to have a seizure, but Li Gu stopped: "Both of us are abandoned people, and we can't protect ourselves, how can we protect the prince of Qinghe?" Liu Cheng, you are a retainer of two generations of the prince, and what you think and do should be considered more by the prince. If you 'collect troops and buy horses' like this, you will definitely cause trouble for the prince. Li Gu's words are obvious, and this topic should not be talked about anymore.

Liu Wen reluctantly got up to say goodbye and left Du Mansion with Zhou Lie. Du Qiao said to Li Guyan: "Liu Wen made a special trip to recruit you and me, could it be that King Qinghe has a different heart?" ”

Li Gu replied: "I don't think so. King Qinghe has always been strict and serious, if he has a rebellious heart, he will definitely come to communicate with you and me in person, and will not let a retainer test you and me. In my opinion, you and I were outside of Liu Wen's calculations, but it happened that he met Yang Zhang, so he came to gamble on his luck. ”

"Are you saying that King Qinghe doesn't know about this? A little retainer is so bold that he puts his lord in fire and water. Isn't he afraid that you and I will expose him? Du Qiao said angrily.

"This old slave is scheming, knowing that you and I are no longer in the court, how can I expose it? He is also counted, you and I can't inform King Qinghe of this. Li Gu analyzed.

"It's also troublesome, before the new house ascended the throne, you and I recommended the king of Qinghe. If you and I rashly associate with him, then Liang Ji will definitely be able to make a big fuss, and I am afraid that he will harm King Qinghe. Du Qiao exclaimed.

"Shurong, it's okay. He is just a house slave, and he can't afford to make waves. Don't say that you and I, with the king of Qinghe, he will be aware of Liu Wen's treachery every day, and he will clean up the door. Li Gu said.

"Well, King Qinghe is a person who understands the general situation, and he must not tolerate rebellion." Du Qiao was reassured.

Sending Li Gu away, Du Qiao and Yang Zhang renewed their old relationship, asked Yang Zhang to stay for a few more days, and sent someone to secretly find the traces of Zhong Liquan's brother. Yang Zhang and Du Qiao's baby Du Zhen are very close to each other, and they play all day long, and they are happy.
