Although He Jin has soft ears, he still understands a little bit of etiquette and temperament towards celebrities.

After reporting the business, He Jin left them for dinner together before letting them go home.

Li Su has avoided Cai Yong in public during this time, so as not to let people see the behind-the-scenes transactions between them. But since today is leaving from He Jinfu at the same time, there is nothing to avoid, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

Li Su is young, and he is a Zhonglang general, he came on horseback, Cai Yong is in a car, and on the return trip, Cai Yong generously invited him to rub the car, and Li Su happily obeyed.

After getting into the car, there was no one left and right, and they just happened to say some secret words.

"Good strategy! On the grounds that Dong Fu's vain words and the position of the servant were unknown for a while, he took the initiative to ask to go out of Zhenba County, but in fact, he also repaired the history of the country, so that he could borrow a lot of ancient books from Dongguan and Lantai.

The son-in-law must do his best to help in this matter, and find someone to help with copying and engraving. Zhongshan Zhen is the first book-printing businessman in China, and he has cooperated with me for many years, so I will take the time to find them in the past few days. I also took this opportunity to stay in Beijing for a few more days, and I was not in a hurry to return to Yizhou immediately. ”

When Cai Yong heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and a trace of uneasy suspicion flashed in his eyes: "The virtuous son-in-law advised me to be too punctual before, and don't forget to repair the history of the country and take on the responsibility of correcting the scriptures and righteousness.

But you are an envoy of the imperial court, and you have other responsibilities, so how can you delay staying in Beijing on the pretext of assisting me in copying and borrowing the books of Dongguan and Lantai? Moreover, you also brought Zhao Yun's five hundred cavalry outside Yique Pass, and I heard that another two or three thousand Youzhou cavalry were in Luyang. This person who brought foreign soldiers, it is taboo to stay in Beijing for a long time, you let me pretend to be a public heart for so long, and now I want to change my hexagram? ”

Li Su was shocked and realized that he had been negligent.

It's also to blame him for acting for too long these days, his nerves are tense, and in front of his accomplice Cai Yong, it is inevitable that he will be a little relaxed.

But relaxation is relaxation, the reason why "Li Su himself wants to stay in the capital for a while longer" is also something that Cai Yong must never say!

A traverser can't say to the indigenous conspirators, "I stayed because I knew that He Jin would not live long and wanted to survive until he died."

This is the content that only the traverser himself will always hide in the bottom of his heart!

Li Su hurriedly thought about it and explained: "It's me who got carried away, I saw Taishan use Dong Fu to retreat and take away so many ancient books from Jingshi.

I just want to draw inferences from one case to another and see if I can use Wu Kuang's eagerness to prove his innocence, and also bring some weapons to Shudi. So I want to drag it out until Liu Biao finishes liquidating everything before leaving, and I have no other intentions. If you can't take advantage of it, forget it. ”

In these few sentences, I finally explained the motive just now, saying that "if there are dates or not, I don't force it."

Cai Yong nodded, didn't think much about it, and accepted this explanation, after all, he wouldn't think deeply about whether his prospective son-in-law deliberately lied to him.

However, after saying goodbye to Cai Yong, Li Su had an extra heart: he knew that if he wanted to help Cai Yong more and grab more benefits, he would have to find another excuse to stay in Beijing.

In other words, you actually stayed in Beijing to help Cai Yong, but nominally you can't.

Even if you pretend to be sick again, or have other excuses, or ask for leave, you need another reason.

In short, doing things with the logic of the officialdom of the DPRK and China is just so many twists and turns, and there is no way.

Li Su couldn't think of it for a while, so he comforted himself: "Forget it, I don't want to think so much, anyway, the day after tomorrow is the big court meeting on the sixth day of August, and the reward for Liu Bei and me will be officially announced." When the appointment is made, let's make excuses when we see the opportunity. ”

……

After returning from Hefu, Li Su rested at home for a day, and without leaving the door, he took a bath at home, and found a recently skilled person from his own soldiers to help him press a few times to eliminate fatigue. If the leader of the soldiers is out of the house, he can't force it, and he has no maid to let the soldiers press it.

On the morning of the sixth day of the eighth month, Li Su got up early in the morning and entered the palace to wait for the court.

The court meeting started at three o'clock, Li Su was a foreign minister, and he was summoned at the beginning of the hour, and he went through the process to report some Yizhou affairs and answer two questions added by the Empress Dowager He herself.

Then, finally, it was time for the imperial court to announce the edict and reward.

"Liu Bei, the general of Zhenxi, is loyal to the country, forgets himself, thunders and tigers, waving the Western Xia, the heavenly soldiers are everywhere, Zhang Lu gives the head, if the fire is raised to fly the peng, and the sea is covered with fertile charcoal...... Zijia is the general of Zhengxi, Lingyizhou Thorn History, South Zhenghou, 3,000 households in Shiyi, and fake Jieyue. ”

"So that Zhonglang will Li Su, know the mandate of heaven, surrender Huaiyuan, broadcast Tianwei, and pass on Hand. so that the rice thief fools the people, and the darkness is restored; Plate barbarians, naturalized royal road; The Huns were bloody, abandoned their armor and defected...... In addition, it is the Taishou of Shu County, the Marquis of Piting, and there are 500 households in the food town. ”

There are a few more people in the back, and there are not so many bells and whistles to describe their exploits,

It was about Guan Yu, the original captain of Hanzhong, who was crowned as a partial general, a captain of Hanzhong, and a captain of Yizhou. Jiameng Pavilion Marquis, 400 households.

Zhang Fei is a general, a military capital guard, a captain of Huqiang, and a marquis of Duting.

Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai and others were promoted to lieutenants, of which Zhao Yun was the Marquis of Guannei. Dian Wei and Xu Huang are not qualified to appear in the edict.

After going back, Liu Bei made his own assertions, and those who should be promoted from Sima to the door governor of other departments were promoted to the door governor. Or if there is no court in the future, it is also possible to be promoted to a general who does not exist in the first place and is not an exception.

Anyway, after Dong Zhuo's chaos in the future, the official position will be worthless.

In terms of civil officials, Lu Su became the magistrate of Shu County, and the qualifications of other Liu Bei's civil officials were not enough to enter the edict, so Liu Bei adjusted it himself at that time.

Li Su followed the procedure and thanked the other Wenwu on behalf of the others.

Finally, the decision on the disposal of Liu Yan was read out.

The edict really did not dare to directly force Liu Yan to rebel, but asked Li Su to recruit Liu Yan to return to Beijing as a young master, and Li Su was indignant.

In addition, there is another detail, that is, let the new Bajun Taishou Cai Yong give Li Su a circumstantial evidence - the imperial court has obviously thought about whether this holy decree will be smeared as a mess under the pretext of being smeared and questioning the position of the decree holder.

However, if there is one more Cai Yong as a witness to prove that this holy decree is the true expression of the Son of Heaven, and the process of issuing the decree is completely legal and without any coercion and inducement, then it will obviously be of great benefit to persuade and win the hearts of the people of Shudi, and it will be more conducive to peaceful handover.

When hearing this, Li Su was also glad that he kept his relationship with Cai Yong secret, how wise he was! This does not receive an additional benefit.

After returning from the palace, Li Su also sighed in his heart: It is good to have military power in hand, and the court does not dare to come directly, think about it, Dong Fu's crime is lighter than Liu Yan's, but as a result, the three clans who stayed in Beijing have all disappeared secretly, and the main culprit Liu Yan still has to be kind and strategic, please come back.

Of course, there are not many people in Dong Fu's three clans in Beijing, he only has one son left by his side, and the other sons and most of his grandsons and great-grandchildren are all in his hometown in Chengdu. If the imperial court really wants to completely raze the three clans of Dong Fu, it will have to wait for Li Su to temporarily take over Shu County.

In the end, Li Su also got hints from some informal calibers: the imperial court appointed him as the Taishou of Shu County, which was also temporary, for his good, and let him go to the local area to accumulate qualifications as a county guard, and in the future, it would be good to enter the court as an official, and at his age, it would not be a dream to climb to Jiuqing before the age of thirty.

In the face of this hint, Li Su of course showed his joy just right: Thank you Jiyan! I've been waiting to return to Beijing for a long time to continue serving the imperial court! It's too hot in the south, I'm afraid I'm really not used to living in Shu County for a long time, I take a bath there every day and drink iced sweet wine to cool off! Otherwise, I haven't been able to get rid of the bathing habit I developed in the south these days.

In the past few days in Luoyang, Li Suke has invited other friends from the DPRK and China to enjoy the ice wine, food, and massage in the bath and in the extravagant and lascivious entertainment links. In just a few days, he imitated the shower fountain that the first emperor asked the court to order Bi Lan (a eunuch and one of the ten permanent attendants) to make, and built a warm shower and a warm jacuzzi, which even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had enjoyed, and spent Li Su millions of dollars for this.

You see, I haven't even bought a mansion in Luoyang, and I've spent so much money on luxury products! As long as Zhao'an Liu Yan goes well, I definitely hope to call me back as soon as the matter is completed!

Li Su's move to buy a mansion and build a copper hot spring in Luoyang has long been seen in the eyes of relevant personnel officials and generals, otherwise, he would not be assured to let him temporarily serve as the Taishou of Shu County.

And the reason why Li Su's acting skills are so realistic is because he is well-informed. In later generations, when he was studying and working and teaching, he was brainwashed by the courses of "how to use big data to identify outlaws", and he knew how to counter reconnaissance.

It was around 2010, and many outlaws were targeted and captured by the newly born big data technology, and an important reason for those people to be targeted was "not to buy social security for themselves" - because a person who knew that he was going to perform a mortal mission would not buy more pension insurance.

Li Su teaches negotiation experts at the Public Security University, and he has seen a lot of this, so he comes to act by himself, of course, he has to play a full set.

Even the portrait of the behavior pattern after 2,000 years and the big data Skynet can be counter-reconnaissance, not to mention Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and He Jin's half-claw speculation.

You put it there and play with me, where is this?

……

However, with the end of the court meeting and the new mission on his shoulders, Li Su also faced a new problem.

That is, if nothing else, he only has a few days to prepare, and before the next big court meeting in five days, if he has no special reason to ask for leave, he should leave for Yizhou and lobby Liu Yan to return to Beijing.

But taking advantage of the two days of intelligence exploration, Li Su also became more and more clear about the progress of He Jin's summoning of foreign troops into Beijing to kill eunuchs - yesterday I heard that there was a fast horse return, Dong Zhuo has already arrived in Hongnong, and then there are three hundred miles of Kunhan Road, passing through Shaanxi County and Mianchi, you can send a letter to Guguan and enter Henan Yin.

The mountain road of Cuihan Road is more difficult to walk, and Dong Zhuo has infantry, not all cavalry. The infantry marched only 50 miles a day on the plain with heavy camps, and the mountainous areas would be slower, so they could only enter Henan Yin on August 12, and at least reach the western suburbs of Luoyang after August 15.

And Dong Zhuo didn't just go to the vicinity of Luoyang, and he wouldn't go directly to Beijing, so he would have to wait for a while to find an excuse to enter.

In addition, Dong Zhuo's "Ministers, Please Ring the Bell and Drum into Luoyang" has not yet been delivered, and it is estimated that it will be delivered quickly within two or three days.

"We have to find a way to delay time, forget it, let's help Cai Shi contact the bookseller and enough engravers and scribes first." Li Su thought so in his heart, so he decided to take the time to find Zhang Liang, the chief steward of the Zhen family's firm in Luoyang.

Of course, Li Su's status is now precious, and seeing that the businessman no longer needs to come to the door in person, he can just summon the other party to meet him.

On the day of the end of the court meeting, Li Su did not delay the time, and directly asked people to call Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang almost shouted, and when he came, he also brought Li Su a few exquisite bronze water methods as gifts, it seems that Li Su's reputation for liking copper fountains and copper showers has spread among the rich people in Luoyang.

For this matter, those famous people who are happy to live in poverty have no less regrets: it is a luxury that Emperor Ling liked first, and that is ...... Faint gentleman, you are a famous Confucian who knows the destiny of heaven, and you actually like the extravagant enjoyment of this kind of beautiful sound, just for the sake of bathing, alas......

Li Su read it, accepted the gift very satisfied, and did not be polite to Zhang Liang, and directly ordered: "I called you this time to ask you to borrow some manpower, although the book printing business of your Zhen family firm is not a monopoly now, it is still the biggest in the world."

My mentor Cai Gong wants to be appointed as the Taishou of Bajun, but during his tenure, he is already in charge of the writing and editing of the history of the Dongguan scriptures, and he needs to borrow and copy a lot of classics from Dongguan and Lantai, stop your business for half a month, and gather all the copying and carving craftsmen to come over, and I will pay according to the price. ”

Zhang Liang gave Li Su a deep sigh and said humbly: "How dare you talk to Li Zhonglang about money, the Zhen family's book printing business started with Li Zhonglang, drinking water and not forgetting to dig wells, what is it to temporarily recruit manpower, and it should be honored."

In addition, in fact, since Li Zhonglang entered Beijing at the end of last month, the villain has received news that Pegasus contacted Nakayama's family, and there is a matter, and he originally wanted to wait for the young master of the family to come and discuss it with Zhonglang. ”

Li Su couldn't help but be curious: "Oh? What's the matter? ”

Zhang Liang was a little embarrassed, but although the young master had not arrived, the fast horse reply had already arrived, and he was going to come to see Li Su in the next two days to drag Li Su. So I pushed the boat down the river and said:

"That's right, although our lord's status is far from the same as that of General Zhengxi, after all, it is also a famous family with two thousand stones in the ancestral world. And to put it mildly, being a friend of the poor and the poor with General Zhengxi is also a friend of poverty and suffering...... Li Zhonglang, don't get me wrong, we don't dare to take grace, we just want to be better.

In the past two years, everyone cooperated sincerely and benefited each other, but because the three-year mourning period of the late Lord had not expired, some words were unfilial, so it was delayed until this year. In fact, from March this year, the twenty-seven months of the young lord and the young ladies will expire for the old master, and they can also talk about weddings and funerals.

I heard that General Zhengxi has not married yet, and the young master wants to ask Li Zhonglang to convey goodwill on his behalf, even if the mountains and rivers are far away to ask for the opinion of General Zhengxi himself, choose one or two from my young lady, and it is okay to be about General Zhengxi, General Bi, and General Pi's concubines......"

When Li Su heard this, he did some mental calculations, and Zhen Yi, the former head of the Zhen family, died in the third year of Zhongping, so the March system of the sixth year of Zhongping (this year) ended. No wonder the two slightly older daughters of the Zhen family can finally get married after holding back for two or three years.

The eldest daughter Zhen Jiang is fifteen years old, and it is now August, this era is actually not early to get married, it is completely delayed by the death of her father. The second daughter, Zhen Tuo, is also fourteen and a few months old.

The Zhen family doesn't have any big officials now, and the family has two filial piety, and they are married to General Zhengxi himself, so of course they have to lower their stature.

I've been holding back for so long, and I'm waiting here to calculate and pick peaches.

Li Su directly gave the other party a precautionary shot: "Of course I will convey your good intentions, but I still have a word first, the general of Zhengxi entered Shu, and there are local nobles in Hanzhong who are begging to marry him." General Zhengxi is responsible for the stability of one side, and these marriages are inevitable. What your Zhen family can provide is nothing more than money and food support, and General Zhengxi has been grateful for a long time, and he will definitely make up for it tenfold in the future, but the position of his wife is ...... It's been three months since I left Hanzhong, and I really don't dare to say.

As for the partial general, that is, Guan Fujun, as far as I know, he does not refuse to be poor and lowly when he chooses his wife, but seeks to be happy, when I left Sichuan, he already had a favorite candidate, he is a person who values righteousness, and he is afraid and unwilling to disobey the first to come.

Only General Zhang Fujun, but there is indeed no wife, if your Zhen family does not think that the third lady is young, you can set it first, and then get married after two years, with my Li Boya as a guarantee, you must let the young ladies of your Zhen family have a wife. ”

Zhen Dao, the third lady of the Zhen family, is now twelve years old, and of course she can't marry Zhang Fei now, but Shu Dao is far away, and she is almost thirteen years old when she settles down in Yizhou.

When Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel sorry, but he was just a subordinate, and it was not easy to express his position on behalf of the young master, so he could only find good things to say first: "By the way, Zhonglang is not married yet." And Zhonglang has only won the championship this year, and the future is limitless, if Zhonglang is interested, I want to come to my young lady, it must be a high climb......"

"Uh......" Li Su thought about it, his secret relationship with the Cai family is now difficult to disclose at a critical juncture, so even if he humiliates Miss Zhen as a concubine and asks them to stop, it is not easy to explain.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Suna is the fifth diamond king and a golden bachelor!

The imperial court also counted on Cai Yong to use a "third-party neutral posture" to help Li Su prove that summoning Liu Yan to Beijing was not a chaotic fate. So no matter what it is, Li Su and Cai Yong must not have any additional friendship before this.

After thinking about it, Li Susi decided to kick a ball: "Thank you for your young gentleman's kindness, let's discuss this matter later, mainly because I and Liu Zhengxi are brothers, since ancient times, if we meet brothers and sisters, I have never heard of the reason that my brother is not married and my brother marries first."

I remember that the youngest of the three older ladies in your family is only twelve years old, and she is barely married to General Zhang. The fourth and fifth ladies seem to have only ...... Nine and seven years old, right? Let's talk about it in a few years, but by then, I may also get married, I'm really sorry. ”

He finally used the excuse that the fourth and fifth ladies of the Zhen family were too young, so he pushed the matter first and covered his marriage contract with Cai Yan.

However, when it came to this, Li Su also suddenly thought of a convenience: wasn't he just looking for an excuse to take leave to work in Luoyang for half a month.

With this matter, he can go to He Jin to ask for leave in a grand manner!

It is said that there is a big family in Hebei who wants to make a marriage contract with Liu Bei, and he, as a Chinese, helps to match, so he has to wait for the young master of the Zhen family to come to Luoyang to make a contract.

Isn't that just a drag?

Therefore, after the negotiation with Zhang Liang ended, Li Su immediately did two things.

The first is to rush to Dongguan and Lantai first, and hand over all the scribes and engravers borrowed from the Zhen family to Cai Yong, who will be dispatched by Cai Yong.

After the handover here, he immediately went to He Jinfu to ask for leave.

He Jin really didn't doubt it, thinking that the Shu Road was far away, and it was normal for the envoy to delay the road for a month, not to mention that there was a lifelong major event to be solved by General Zhengxi.

After getting the authorization, Li Su justifiably waited for Zhen Yao to come to Beijing to negotiate, and slowly dragged out the days to watch the play.
