Li Man blitzed Xianbei, so that Xianbei did not dare to go south to herd horses, after the news spread, the world was excited!

The scholars sang praises for Li Man, Li Shu and the heads of the Qians applauded Li Man, and the civil and military officials wrote to ask Liu Hong to be the official of Li Man.

There was a cheer inside and outside the government and the opposition, and Li Man was in the limelight for a while!

Cao Cao and Li Yang walked side by side on the streets of Luoyang, and said with envy: "The prince and the prince use soldiers like gods, and the art of war and the champion Hou seem to have similarities, which is really the blessing of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Li Yang shook his head and said modestly: "My father's great victory over Xianbei is really due to Your Majesty's mighty heavens and the soldiers' lives, and they dare not take credit!" ”

Cao Cao looked sideways at Li Yang, and when he saw that he looked pampered and not surprised, he couldn't help laughing: "Lang Jun is too humble!" ”

"My father often sighs: I will be outside, you have no doubt, Your Majesty is really a benevolent king!" Li Yang sighed and said helplessly: "However, Your Majesty is lenient and trustworthy, but there are villains who have repeatedly slandered Your Majesty.

Leading the troops outside, walking on thin ice, my father often feels powerless! I wish to resign and retire and enjoy my old age in peace.

In this way, it can reassure His Majesty and reassure all officials, and it is not a bad way to get the best of both worlds! ”

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and said: "The prince is young and strong, and he has the merit of the world, how can he lightly talk about resigning and retiring?" Don't say that Your Majesty won't agree, and neither will Rao Shiren and Li Shu! Lang Jun had better persuade the prince and marquis to die of this heart as soon as possible! ”

For Li Man, the best ending is to enter Beijing as an official and live under the emperor's nose, rather than retreating to the countryside!

"Doctor Taizhong, Yang Wen Xiangong, wrote to His Majesty a few days ago, asking his father to be the captain of the dynasty, after His Majesty saw the dismissal, but he made Shangshutai stay in the middle and never expressed his attitude, hey... The power of heaven is unpredictable, and it is difficult to guess! Li Yang was faintly worried.

Li Man has repeatedly made great contributions, and he is inevitably suspected of being a master of high merit.

The people of Liaodong only know Li Man, but not the emperor, what does this make Liu Hong think? If Liu Hong didn't have any thoughts in his heart, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Li Yang!

Meanwhile!

Liu Hong is engaged in an ideological struggle with himself, for Li Man, should he kill or stay? What exactly should you choose?

"Father, what do you think of Anxianghou?" Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang blankly, wanting to hear his opinion!

Zhang Rang pursed the corners of his mouth, and immediately fell into a short period of contemplation, he had not seen such a blank look in Liu Hong's eyes for a long time, in Zhang Rang's impression, although Liu Hong often has absurd behaviors, but whenever it involves the affairs of the court, he is extremely decisive and decisive, never dragging mud and water!

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Rang cautiously expressed his opinion of Li Man: "The Marquis of Anxiang is open-minded and dedicated to the public. The army is strictly governed, and the rewards and punishments are clear. has the ability to govern the army on the horse and settle the people on the horse, which is really a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs! ”

Liu Hong bowed his head silently and agreed with Zhang Rang's words!

Zhang Rang continued: "The Li family is a family of hairpins for generations, and the clansmen are well-known and reasonable, and they all have a clear name, and there are few people who violate the law and discipline!" ”

Li Yang's polite appearance flashed in his mind, Liu Hong smiled knowingly, and said: "Li clansmen, I have won my heart!" ”

As soon as Liu Hong's voice fell, he heard Zhang Rang's words suddenly change and said, "However... His Majesty is weak and weak because of his daily work on state affairs, and Li Man runs between the ranks all the year round, and he is in the prime of life, forgive the slaves and maids for being disrespectful. If Li Man is just a martial artist, it would be fine, but... Your Majesty, don't forget, he was born in the world's top wealthy family, he... He also has the status of a leader of the scholars! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Rang suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily and said, "For the sake of all generations, Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Zhang Rang was loyal to Liu Hong, and what he said was heartfelt, he recognized Li Man's merits and abilities, but also truthfully said the potential threat to Li Man!

Zhang Rang and Li Man have no grudges and no hatred in the past, he has no intention of harming Li Man, he just told a few words of truth, as for how to decide, it is all up to Liu Hong himself.

If Liu Hongnian let Li Man go for the sake of Li Man's repeated military exploits, Zhang Rang would naturally be happy for Li Man, and if Liu Hong was narrow-minded and wanted to get rid of Li Man as soon as possible, Zhang Rang would not mind taking a hand from the side.

In short, it is a sentence, whether Li Man is dead or alive depends on Liu Hong's words!

Liu Hong's face was cloudy, sometimes frowning, sometimes opening his eyes, sometimes pursing his lips, sometimes sighing!

After a long time!

Liu Hong slowly spoke, squinted his eyes and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the juniors, don't hurt the lives of the waiter and others!" ”

Liu Hong still has a bit of a conscience, and took the initiative to add a talisman to Li Man's three sons!

It's not that Liu Hong is indecisive, but once Li Man dies, the Li family will inevitably lose its power and no longer be as prosperous as it was back then.

Therefore, there is no need to cut the grass and eradicate the roots at all!

Zhang Rang bowed down to receive the order and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Zhang Rang bowed down and exited the main hall, waved his hand to beckon a henchman, handed him a bamboo strip the thickness of a finger, and said, "Give it to Yuan Kui's hand and tell him that I will wait for him to reply in the palace!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and said a few words in his ear, and asked him to convey them to Yuan Kui on his behalf!

The little yellow door put away the bamboo strips closely, and after saluting, he walked quickly to the outside of the palace, went to the Yuan Mansion, and passed the word for Zhang Rang!

Zhang Rang is the head of the ten permanent servants, deeply favored by Liu Hong, in charge of the forbidden army on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the messenger of embroidered clothes!

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a secret police force in China, dressed in embroidered clothes, armed with scepters and tiger talismans, and patrolling the inspectors to act on behalf of the Son of Heaven when they found illegal problems. For this kind of special power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named it "Embroidered Messenger", also known as "Embroidered Imperial History".

Judging from historical records, the main duties of the embroidered messenger in the early stage were to be ordered to seek adultery, govern prisons, and supervise officials, relatives and nobles to extravagance, overstepping, and illegal things. They were haunted and ubiquitous, and they were once very active, even in Weizhenzhou County, which frightened many lawless officials. Later, as the situation changed, the embroidered messenger had the duty of catching thieves, that is, to suppress the peasant uprising.

The duties of the embroidered messenger are not much different from the famous brocade guards in later generations, both of them belong to the secret service, and they are mainly responsible for acting on behalf of the heavens and supervising hundreds of officials!

Zhang Rang is in charge of the embroidered messengers, responsible for supervising the hundreds of officials in Beijing, and knows almost everything about their every move!

The things that Yuan and Zhang Chun did in private naturally did not escape Zhang Rang's eyes!

Beijing, Yuan's Mansion!

The little yellow door came to Yuan Kui's study all the way unimpeded, and after the ceremony, he took out the bamboo strip from his arms and handed it to Yuan Kui to check!

Yuan Kui took out the bamboo strip and squinted at it, but saw six small characters written on it: If it is full, it will be overflowing, and it will be lost.

Yuan Kui frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he heard Xiao Huangmen take the lead and said, "Master asked me to bring you a sentence: I know about Erzhang!"

Yuan Kui laughed twice with an embarrassed face, took a deep breath, and said a nonsensical word:

"No worries at the border!"

Xiao Huangmen turned around and left, went straight to the palace, and looked for Zhang Rang to get back to his life!
