Returning to Tingyuxuan from Jiafu, Liu Zhan found Xun You, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Zhao Yan, and Buyun to discuss the matter of tomorrow's court meeting. Regarding the official positions of the five of them, Liu Zhan had already thought of a suitable official position according to the characteristics of the five people, but Liu Zhan didn't know much about the remaining twenty or so scholars, so he discussed with the five people. For any official positions of the five people, Liu Zhan arranged them like this: Xun Yu was appointed as Taichangqing, Xu Shu was appointed as Guangluxun, Shi Tao was appointed as Weiwei, Zhao Yan was appointed as a servant, and Buyun was appointed as Zongzheng, and he had already informed the five of them yesterday, and none of them had any opinions.

To say, Xun You, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Zhao Yan, and Buyun will not have any opinions, Liu Zhan has let them ascend to the sky in one step, and the official positions of the five are all Jiuqing's positions, which has never had such a precedent in the Han Dynasty.

After several people sat down, Liu Zhan said directly: "About the twenty-two scholars, how to arrange, let's talk about it." ”

As soon as Liu Zhan's voice fell, the five of them said their thoughts separately.

Liu Zhan listened carefully to everyone's suggestions, nodded his head, and occasionally proposed some amendments.

In the end, after nearly an hour of repeated deliberation, a suitable position was finally found for every scholar from Yingchuan.

After the discussion, Liu Zhan left Buyun alone, and bowed his hand to Buyun: "Brother is above, please accept the gift of the younger brother." ”

Buyun was stunned for a moment, then his heart moved, and he understood: it must be the lord that Lian'er wrote to tell her, this girl is really still as disobedient as when she was a child, before she came, she clearly told her not to say it first......

It turned out that before Buyun came to Luoyang, he specially instructed Lian'er not to tell his identity to the lord first. The reason why Buyun is like this is because he wants to rely on his true talents to be appreciated by his father-in-law, rather than relying on his sister's relationship.

After being stunned for a while, Bu Yun arched his hand towards Liu Zhan: "The lord just needs to know in his heart, this brother, Yun can't afford it." ”

Liu Zhan looked at Buyun, who was a little pedantic, his face was grim, and he said, "What's this?" Isn't Lian'er your own sister? Is there anything that can't be said about this relationship? ”

"The lord misunderstood. Yun said this because of his own little care. ”

Bu Yun looked embarrassed, and hurriedly said.

"Thoughtful? What to think about? ”

Liu Zhan frowned and asked.

Bu Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "That's the case, Yun originally wanted to rely on his true talent to gain the recognition and appreciation of the lord, and he didn't want to be reused because of Lian'er's relationship.

Originally, the lord directly appointed Yun Jiuqing to the position, and Yun still didn't understand it in his heart. In terms of knowledge and strategy, Yun Zizhi is far inferior to the four of them, but he is in the same position as Jiuqing.

Now, Yun understands that the lord's arrangement must be because of Lian'er's reason and his intention to promote Yun.

To be honest, at this moment, Yun's heart is very unsteady. ”

"Haha...... Brother Yun, how pedantic you are! Liu Zhan listened to Buyun's words, laughed, got up and sat down on the chair next to Buyun, and said, "Don't you know this truth?" ”

"Of course the clouds know."

"Brother Yun, your ability, Xun Xiang has already explained in detail in the letter, you are not worse than Xu Shu and them. Don't be presumptuous. ”

"But ......"

Liu Zhan waved his hand: "Don't do it, let you do this Zongzheng, it is my deliberate decision, you just let go of your hands and feet, don't have any worries."

Also, I will have the opportunity to accompany Lian'er more in the future, she has had too hard a life alone over the years. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Bu Yun respectfully saluted Liu Zhan, "The words of the lord, Yun must take them to heart." ”

"Oh - all right, don't be poor here, go down. Prepare for tomorrow's meeting. ”

Liu Zhan was a little speechless, raised his hand and waved, and gave the order to evict the guest. Liu Zhan originally wanted to have a good talk with Bu Yunpan and ask about Lian'er when she was a child. Buyun is like this, there is really no need to continue chatting.

"The clouds are retired." Buyun bowed and withdrew.

"Go ahead." Liu Zhan looked at Bu Yun's back and shook his head slightly.

This uncle...... It's really a little different......

……

Early the next morning, Liu Zhan had breakfast and was about to go out, when the shadow guard came to him and reported: "Lord, there is an old man outside the door who asks to see him." ”

"Did you report yourself?" Liu Zhan was slightly stunned and asked.

"Nope. He only said that he had come to savior him. ”

"Huh? It can't be a charlatan, right? What does the old man look like? ”

"The old man is wearing a blue kudzu cloth coat and a kudzu cloth turban, and by the way, one eye is blind." Moon Shadow replied.

I don't know any one-eyed old man, nine times out of ten he is a charlatan...... Liu Zhan thought like this and said, "Teach him to come in, I want to see what tricks he can play." ”

Moon Shadow gave up his hand and stepped back.

After a while, Moon Shadow Guard led the old man to Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan raised his hand and motioned for the Moon Shadow Guard to retreat. That Moon Shadow Guard hesitated a little, but when he thought of Liu Zhan's terrifying strength, he retreated.

The old man smiled, looked Liu Zhan up and down, and said, "King Yingchuan is in danger, but he doesn't know it. ”

Well?

Liu Zhan sneered in his heart, but his face was silent, and he raised his hand and asked, "Old man, please take a seat." ”

"Huh...... Don't pretend that you can't hear the old man's words, the old man said that the king of Yingchuan is in danger. The old man looked at Liu Zhan incomprehensibly and didn't sit down.

Liu Zhan sat down slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "So it's mysterious." Tell me, old man, what danger I have. ”

"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the old man can't say it directly. Otherwise, the old man will be backlashed. ”

The old man stroked his long beard under his chin and said lightly.

Hearing the word "backlash", Liu Zhan's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the strange scene of the sudden malaise of the drama back then. Don't...... Xi Zhi was attacked because of the leakage of heavenly secrets? How else to explain it. No, to be precise, Xi Zhicai may have spied on the heavenly opportunity and was counterattacked. Well, it must be so.

Then, Liu Zhan thought of the even more strange thing he had traveled through, and suddenly felt that the world in front of him might be far from being as simple as he saw.

Seeing that Liu Zhan didn't speak, the old man continued: "The old man looks at the Prime Minister's full heavenly court, and he is born with auspicious appearances, but it is precisely because the Prime Minister's face is too perfect that he is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. As the saying goes, the moon is in the red, and the extremes of things must be reversed. ”

Heaven? This horse riding is not a fantasy, is it good...... Liu Zhan scolded and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Dao." ”

"The old man is called the black horn."

Blackhorn Dao people?

It turned out to be him!

Liu Zhan was shocked in his heart, and looked at the old man in front of him carefully, only to see that the old man had a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, gray hair, a thin body, and a kudzu coat exuding an indescribable charm.

Could it be that he really has supernatural powers as history has rumored?

This...... Unlikely, in that case, that ...... Isn't this world ......

After pondering for a moment, Liu Zhan got up and arched his hand at the old man: "It turns out that the respected driver is Mr. Zuo Ci, and he has admired his name for a long time." ”

"Huh...... King Yingchuan is really well-informed, the old man has not been born for a long time, and no one in this world knows the name of the old man, but I didn't expect that the king of Yingchuan knew the old man's real name at a young age.

It seems that the old man has come to the right place today. ”

Zuo Ci stroked his beard and smiled, and said with a serious face.

"What is the calamity that is coming? Please also Mr. Zuo teach me. ”

Liu Zhan gave up his hand again, with a serious face.

Looking at Liu Zhan's demeanor, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Zuo Zi's mouth, and he said incomprehensibly: "Prime Minister, the old man has already said just now, and the secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

"That'...... How should we deal with it? ”

"Unspeakable...... Can't say. ”

I'm a horse...... This old man didn't come here on purpose to block me, did he...... Liu Zhan complained, his face was slightly cold: "In this case, Mr. Zuo made a special trip to visit, what do you have to say." ”

Zuo Ci saw that Liu Zhan's face was getting colder, and he knew that he couldn't sell Guanzi anymore, he knew that Liu Zhan was different from others, and if he used ordinary methods, he would definitely be bored, he smiled slightly and said, "Hehe...... The prime minister is not in a hurry, the old man has a way to ensure that the prime minister is safe and sound. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"The prime minister only needs to prepare a thousand gold, and the old man has his own clever plan."

Zuo Ci said without changing his face and without a beat.

I'm going - it's for the money!

According to the experience of later generations, no matter how convincing the other party is, as long as he asks you for money, then there is a chance that this person is a liar.

Liu Zhan has been in the society for more than ten years, how could he not understand such a simple truth, he immediately became vigilant, but said in his mouth: "It's easy to say." ”

"The Prime Minister is wise." Zuo Ci saw that Liu Zhan agreed, knowing that he had already succeeded halfway, he smiled incomprehensibly and said, "When we meet for the first time, the prime minister may not know too much about the old man's skills, and today the old man will show his ugly hand for the prime minister." ”

"Wow-" Liu Zhan nodded, he really wanted to see what tricks Zuo Ci was going to play.

"Your Excellency is optimistic." As soon as Zuo Ci's voice fell, he danced twice in place, and when he faced Liu Zhan again, he had an extra plate of square meat in his hand out of thin air.

With a deep smile on his face, Zuo Ci slowly walked towards Liu Zhan and put it on the table.

A smell of meat suddenly wafted into Liu Zhan's nostrils, Liu Zhan's eyes moved slightly, and said, "Can you eat it?" ”

"Of course."

"Hehe, Mr. Zuo, this is just a trick, believe it or not, I can conjure things up."

"Haha...... The prime minister laughed. The corners of Zuo Ci's mouth twitched a few times, and he pretended to be calm.

As soon as Zuo Ci's voice fell, Liu Zhan slowly stood up and circled around Zuo Ci, with an extra piece of square meat in his hand out of thin air, exactly the same as the plate Zuo Ci took out!

"Mr. Zuo, how is it? This appearance can never deceive the elderly. Liu Zhan smiled slightly and teased.
