No one knew that the biggest variable in the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty was decided in such a so-called best inn in Changli City.

After that, everyone rested at the inn for a while, and set off again tomorrow. It's not that it's late today, but that Gongsun Du said that he has to arrange some things, and the most important thing is the problem of the captain of Liaodong County.

Xu Rong saw that Gongsun Du arranged this matter first, but it made him really relieved and relaxed. Liu Yi didn't have much idea, but he was also from a regular border army, and it was good to have a name, so he didn't object.

But what they didn't know was that all this was just an idea that Gongsun Du had after he met them, and what he thought before was just to go to Xuansu according to history, and then borrow the name of Gongsun Leopard to have a chance encounter with Xuansu Taishou, and then embarked on the road of becoming an official.

But now that there is a better choice, it may not be better, but it is better than recognizing someone else as a father-in-law. Especially when Gongsun Du thought of the descriptions of Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he felt that no matter how difficult such a choice was, it would be a better choice, at least he felt that it was easier to accept.

The time soon came to night, Gongsun Du had completely sorted out his thoughts at this time, and was about to discuss with Gongsun Yan, as soon as he stepped into Gongsun Yan's door, he saw that he was waiting for him all the time.

"Leopard, are you planning to buy a captain?" Gongsun Yan's face was unprecedentedly serious.

Gongsun Yan hated the decree issued by the current emperor in the fourth year of Yanxi (161) on selling official positions. This time he was chased and killed by the eunuchs, and it was because his words about commenting on this decree after drinking reached Liu Zhi's ears, of course, it was more because he was unwilling to spend money to bribe Liu Zhi's favored eunuchs, and he expressed his disdain for these guys who were neither men nor women in public, which completely angered them, so he had to abandon the official and flee.

Gongsun Du was speechless and said, "Dad, don't I know what is going on in our family?" If we don't say that they agree to sell it to us, let's say that they agree, can we get the money? It's not enough to sell our father and son! ”

"Ahem"

Gongsun Yan felt a little embarrassed, as if his nerves were too sensitive. However, he has always been upright, and he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, and if he apologizes as a father, he seems to have lost some of his majesty as a father, and his face can't help but be a little stiff.

Gongsun Du saw Gongsun Yan's embarrassment, smiled in his heart, and said mysteriously: "Dad, I don't know if you have heard the gossip about the current emperor?" ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

The mysterious look on Gongsun Du's face was closed, and he said seriously: "I heard that the current emperor is seriously ill and is seeking a famous doctor for treatment. ”

Gongsun Yan was taken aback and said urgently: "Who did you listen to this?" ”

"Who else can I listen to, aren't they just some bastards who can't keep their mouths." Gongsun Du replied ambiguously.

The corners of Gongsun Yan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Gongsun Du was afraid that he would ask carefully, so he hurriedly said: "Besides, if it weren't for the emperor's serious illness, father, do you think we would easily escape?" And why are only those eunuchs chasing us? It's not that the current emperor is too busy to take care of himself, and they don't dare to fabricate the holy order indiscriminately, so they can only let their disciples and dead soldiers chase after them. ”

Gongsun Yan is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard this, he believed most of it, and couldn't help but nodded, but then he thought of a question, and said, "What do you mean by this?" Do you have a way to heal? ”

Gongsun Du was shocked by his father's thoughts, and subconsciously said, "When did I become a miracle doctor?" ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du felt embarrassed.

Gongsun Yan is even more so, what is the ability of his own children, can he still know!

Fortunately, Gongsun Du is not the original Gongsun Du, he is an "old monster" who has gone through three generations, and he quickly reined in his mind and said: "Dad, you said that if the current emperor can't survive this hurdle, then who will be the next emperor?" ”

Gongsun Yan was shocked again, and said in a deep voice: "How can you and I discuss this matter!" ”

Gongsun Du was speechless and said: "Dad, it's just the two of us here, what is there to worry about, and if you want to get the position of captain of Liaodong County, it has nothing to do with it." ”

Gongsun Yanqi said: "Do you know who will be the next emperor?" ”

Gongsun Du did not take this stubble, but analyzed: "The current emperor has nothing to do, this is what all the ministers in the court know, right?" ”

It's no secret, almost everyone knows about it. Gongsun Yan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, but there are other people in the royal family." ”

"That's right, it's the other Liu clansmen." Gongsun Du's eyes flashed, "Dad, do you think, who is most anxious about the death of the emperor today?" ”

"Who?"

"Naturally, it's the queen! Do you think, the emperor has no queen, is it the queen's responsibility, and the queen thinks about her own life and status, does she want to find someone she can control to take over the throne? ”

"This ......"

"Dad, don't think of these people as simple. Since the ancestor of this dynasty, almost every emperor will face obstacles such as relatives and harem interference, even if the current emperor is not able to fully grasp the power of the court after the Liang clan was wiped out! ”

Gongsun Yan felt that he was convinced, because this was the truth, and he could not refute it.

Gongsun Du saw that the time had come, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "So, as long as we make good use of this advantage, it is easy to get the position of captain of Liaodong County." ”

Gongsun Yan nodded and said, "Who do you think is the most likely?" ”

"Liberate the Pavilion Marquis!"

"Liberating the Pavilion Marquis?"

"That's right, it's him." Gongsun Du was worried about revealing the stuffing, so he hurriedly explained, "The Marquis of Xie Du Pavilion is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Zhang, the great-grandson of King Xiaowang of Hejian, his father Liu Qi died early, and now the mansion is very dilapidated, and only his mother is still there. It can be said that it is the weakest branch of the Liu family, and the current Marquis of the Xie Du Pavilion is still young, so it is the easiest to control. ”

Gongsun Yan frowned slightly when he heard this: "In this way, the DPRK and China will fall into a situation where you fight for me, and the people of the world will have no place at all, hey!" ”

Gongsun Du said with a smile: "So, if someone who understands the situation can appear by the side of the Pavilion Marquis at this time, maybe it will be different." ”

"What do you mean?" Gongsun Yan was a little unsure of Gongsun Du's thoughts.

Gongsun Du said firmly: "Now only we know about this, and I am still young, I am afraid that no matter what I say, people will not believe it, and maybe I will put on a hat of bewitching people." But Dad, it's different. ”

"How am I different?" Gongsun Yan said with a smile that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Gongsun Du found out that he underestimated his father, and his previous performance was mostly to induce him to say what he thought, rather than really not thinking about it.

However, now, he can only bite the bullet and continue-

"Dad, you used to be an official in Luoyang, although the official position is not high, but it is also an official in the imperial capital. The most important thing is that you are loyal to the Liu family, and you don't want to be forced by the eunuchs, so you abandon the official and leave. Such a person with enough experience, and loyal enough, and not yet coerced by other forces, if he surrendered to the already downtrodden Jiedu Pavilion Marquis, it would definitely be of great significance to him. ”

Gongsun Yan smiled dumbly, pointed to Gongsun Yan's nose and said, "Leopard, I don't care what has happened to you since the last time you were in a coma, but you have to remember - under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. My grandson's family, at least ours, are loyal servants loyal to the emperor. I don't want to wait until I die, and I will not have the face to see my ancestors. ”

Gongsun Du's face was a little unsightly, he didn't expect his father to say such things at such a time, I don't know if he saw through the thoughts in his heart, and then used this time to force him to swear that he would not rebel against the court. If he doesn't make a guarantee, I'm afraid all the previous plans will come to naught.

However, he was just unhappy because he was forced by his father, and he didn't have any other thoughts, after all, Dahan ......

In order to avoid discord between father and son, Gongsun Du simply pretended not to hear anything, but asked with longing: "Dad, you said that if I made meritorious achievements in the appointment of captain of Liaodong, would I have any chance to go down in history like the champion Hou and the hussar general?" ”

Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Leopard, you are right, you will definitely go down in history like the champion Hou and the hussar general!" ”

Subsequently, Gongsun Du did not say anything about this matter, but only said goodbye.

When Gongsun Yan saw this, this could be regarded as believing Gongsun Du, but he felt that he was nervous and thought too much before. He didn't know that what Gongsun Du wanted, just a lieutenant was enough, it was enough for him to perform, or to accumulate strength before the upheaval.

As for Taishou, Gongsun Du knew better that only by mastering the soldiers could he have enough right to speak. If he has enough strength, as long as he is willing, any Taishou who comes to take office will only have the name of Taishou.
