Volume II: Chapter 17

Liu Hong came to Liu Bian, who was kneeling on the ground, helped him up, stared at Liu Biao with stunned eyes, and said word by word: "Yuan Shao colluded with Taiping Dao to rebel, you may explain the reason." ”

Liu Wei saw that the emperor's father's eyes were deep, cold and terrible, and his body couldn't help but shudder, the so-called Yuan Shao colluded with the Taiping Dao to rebel, that was just Liu Wei's personal speculation after combining the ins and outs of what happened during this time, as well as some historical truths, whether it was true or not, he didn't know, and of course he didn't dare to say that this was the truth.

Liu Wei is still a little too flamboyant in the end, thinking that he has done so many big and stupid things in the past few years, but in the end, he can always get through the tricks and turn evil into good fortune, it is not because of his so-called identity as a prophet of the Han Dynasty or his smart and witty mind, but more because of the protection of Emperor Liu Hong and the identity of the prince of the Han Dynasty.

But when he and Liu Hong are no longer on the same front, what will be the consequences, such as this time, openly asking Liu Hong to lift the ban on the party, what will be the consequences?

Thinking about it this way, Liu Wei actually had a trace of regret, Yuan Shao wanted to use the mouth of Huangfu Song to lift the ban on the party and become a legitimate party leader, so let him be it, what kind of excitement did he make around, could it be that the corporal in the world would choose not to choose Yuan Shao because of such a sentence in front of the emperor today?

I want to gain the recognition and support of the party, and I want to hit Yuan Shao and weaken the status and value of the Yuan family in the eyes of the emperor, so it seems to be a stupid idea to take for granted, but now I want to regret it but it is useless, how can I take it back?

Therefore, Liu Wei had no choice but to reply stubbornly: "Yuan Si is a friend of Xu You, and he once had a word with his son. ”

"How can this Xu Ziyuan get away like this, what does he say?" Liu Hong stood in front of him with his back hand, still looking grim and indifferent.

"Xu Ziyuan said that Yuan Sili and Feng Yu and Xu Feng had already known about the collusion of Taiping Dao."

"Already known?" Liu Hong thought thoughtfully: "Do you know that Feng Zhen and Xu Feng advocate Huang Lao, and have a lot of dealings with those Taiping Daoists, or do you know that Taiping Dao just claims to spread Taoism, but in fact, it is against my big man." ”

"It's because I know that Taiping Dao has long been opposed." Liu Wei replied.

"Huangfu Zhonglang, is Liu Wei's words false?" When Liu Hong heard this, he immediately asked Huangfu Song.

"Minister...... I really don't know. ”

"You don't know?" Liu Wei frowned, and a hint of murder flashed in his eyes: "Or don't you want to say it?" ”

Huangfu Song hurriedly deducted his head and said: "Xu Ziyuan talked privately with his ministers, but he only wanted to persuade His Majesty to remove the party, as for Yuan Sili, he knew in advance that Taiping Dao wanted to rebel, so he really didn't mention it to the ministers!" ”

"I see." Liu Hong turned around, sat back in his seat, and muttered in a low voice: "I know that your Emperor Fuyi is really a smart person, if it weren't for the Yuan family, who still has a fourth world and three dukes behind him, he would definitely not dare to have this talk with me about lifting the ban on the party, don't talk about this matter, just get up." ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Yi both stood upright when they heard this, and only Lu Zhi knelt in place, as if they had never heard of it.

"Lu Zhonglang, why are you doing this?" Seeing this, Liu Hong asked.

"If Your Majesty thinks that the lifting of the ban on the party is a statement that we rely on the Yuan family's family background, then the old minister can't get up." Lu Zhi replied.

"Why is that?" Liu Hong spread his hands, looking puzzled.

"Lifting the ban on the party is the foundation of building the country and revitalizing the society. Scholars to the community, is actually the lip and tooth dependence, the fur attached, the so-called skin does not have hair will be attached, the minister has always thought that His Majesty is smart and accessible, how do you not know such a truth? ”

Lu Zhi sighed, and said regardless of his words: "As His Royal Highness the Prince said, today the Taiping Road is opposite, the momentum is monstrous, it is the time for the country to employ people, if it is said that during the Taiping period, the scholars and the country are of great use, and the matter of the party, Your Majesty does not want to lift it, then it will not be lifted, but now it is a major event, which can be described as extremely difficult, how can Your Majesty still use the Yuan family background to discuss the situation of the party and the incomprehensible?" Could it be that if it weren't for Yuan's mention today, wouldn't His Majesty plan to lift the party? ”

Lu Zhi's words can be described as every word, straight to the hearts of the people, listening to everyone present is impassioned, the heart is rippling, Liu Hong hurriedly stepped forward to personally support Lu Zhi to stand up and said with a smile: "I said the wrong thing, what Lu Zhonglang said, I will definitely remember it, this matter of lifting the party must also be my wish, Lu Zhonglang must not mind!" ”

Seeing that Lu Zhi stood up upright after thanking him, Liu Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, returned to Liu Yan's side, and continued to ask, "Does this Xu Yu have anything to do with you?" And why are you talking to you about these things? ”

"Xu Zi is far from having a relationship with his sons." Liu Wei told the truth: "It was the former ministers who rescued Shi Ziyi from prison, and met Xu Ziyuan on the way back to the palace on Tongtuo Street, so that there were these statements." ”

After that, Liu Wei pointed his fingers again, and told Liu Hong how to save Shi Ziyi in prison that day, how to meet Xu You on the way back to the palace, and how to talk with Xu You.

Not only Liu Hong, but also the three Zhonglang generals present were dumbfounded, Rao no one dared to believe that this yellow-mouthed child in front of him, who was only in his early nine years, could do such a ridiculous and bold thing, as for Zhang Fei who was forced to commit suicide, Liu Bian forged a blood book and lied that Yuan Shang had killed someone, which was unseen and unheard of.

After a while, only Liu Hong laughed and asked Liu Bidao: "Why is this lying about Yuan Sili's third son?" ”

"It's Yuan Sili's third son, Yuan Shang, who is the same age as his son." Liu Yan grinned and replied with a dry smile: "Erchen doesn't want that Zhang Fei to be able to hit the knife edge by himself and jam his neck, and he doesn't want him to be able to bear the pain and kill himself calmly, Erchen is afraid in his eyes, so he can only blame Yuan Sili's third son." ”

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi were so unbelievable that they couldn't say a word, but Liu Hong smiled when they heard it: "It's really funny, it's really funny!" But why do you want to blame Yuan Shang instead of others? ”

"It's really because at that time, I could think of a child who was the same age as Erchen and was still in Luozhong, and Yuan Shang was the only one." Liu Bian didn't want Liu Hong to be so interested in this matter, so he had to continue helplessly: "Besides, it was this Yuan Sili who planted the blame to arrest Shi Ziyi, I can't do anything to him, I always want to make his son suffer some grievances, so that his people know what it's like to be framed." ”

"But who would believe that Yuan Shang killed Zhang Fei?" Zhu Jun couldn't help but interrupt.

"Then Shi Ziyi secretly rebelled against the Taiping Road, will anyone believe it? Is it Zhu Gongxin? Or did the three lieutenant generals believe it? Liu Wei immediately retorted: "Your Majesty believes it?" Do I believe it? Is it the first letter of the distressed Qianshou outside Luoyang City? Do the moral people in the world believe? Yuan Shao's words that he secretly dispatched a dead soldier who pretended to rebel against the head of the Qianqian were so credible? ”

asked several questions one after another, and Zhu Jun's face was red, his ears were red, his beard was flying, and he couldn't even answer a single question.

"But even so, His Royal Highness can't take Yuan Shang after all, let alone Yuan Sili." Lu Zhi said with a smile.

"Lu Gong, I really can't tell Yuan Shao how, but I want this justice to appear in the world, what's wrong with this." Liu Wei said impassionedly: "Yuan Shao carefully arranged, painstaking planning, but today I want the emperor and His Royal Highness to say the words of lifting the ban on the party, that is he Yuan Benchu called himself a model in the world, for the people of the world, after the fact, the people of the world should be the leader, I also have the words of lifting the ban on the party in front of His Royal Highness today, but it is for the sake of the world's hardship. But the family? But Haoqiang? Isn't it the people who suffer? ”

"Your Highness is noble." Lu Zhi stood still and made a big salute to Liu Yan.

Liu Bian accepted it calmly, and then turned to Liu Hongda and said: "What Erchen said today about Yuan Shao's collusion with the Taiping Dao is not that he secretly connected to the Taiping Dao, and he had some personal conspiracy with the Taiping Dao thief. It is the Ruyang Yuan family, whose protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and they do not notice or report the local Taiping thieves gathering crowds to do chaos. is in his position and does not do anything, but what is the difference between such a corpse vegetarian and Feng and Xu who colluded with Taiping Dao and tried to rebel in vain? ”

Everyone was speechless.

Liu Wei continued: "The Ruyang Yuan clan and the Hongnong Yang clan are all my Han clan, why can Yang Gong (Yang Ci) clearly observe the Taiping Road and report to the court, but Yuan Gong (Yuan Kui) can not hear or know?" Didn't his nephew Yuan Shao already know about the Taiping Dao's rebellion? Ruyang Yuan's family is such a great Han Zhongliang, the pillar of protecting the country? ”

Liu Wei looked around at everyone, and finally stared at Huangfu Song and asked, "Huangfu Gong, are you the one who is willing to be the forerunner of it?" ”

Huangfu Song was silent.

Liu Bianfu turned to look at Zhu Jun and said, "Zhu Gong, am I such a ridiculous child's play child in your mouth?" ”

Zhu Jun should not be heavy.

Liu Yan finally walked in front of Lu Zhi and made a big salute: "Lu Gong, the kid will make a compensatory to you." ”

Lu Zhi didn't know why, so he asked, "Why is this?" ”

"The kid should argue with His Majesty that day, and he must not make Lu Gong become this Beizhong Lang general and do this expedition." Liu Wei said calmly.

"Why is that?" Lu Zhi asked with a smile.

"Pacifying the chaos seems to be to stabilize the country, but in fact, it is to save the world from fire and water, which is a great act of kindness. Before this, the kid thought that after the emperor and the prince, he should have the demeanor of a general, and Zhu Gong was born in Qian, and he should also have the benevolence of the world, but he didn't want the emperor and Zhu Gong to have no characteristics, but they were the minions of the family. Being in the company of these two people, wouldn't it defeat Lu Gong's character and make Lu Gong's heart dirty? ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun heard Liu Yan's comments, and they were embarrassed and indignant, and Zhu Jun immediately knelt on the ground without a crown, bowed to Liu Hong and said: "The minister is not worthy of this position, and I implore Your Majesty to choose someone else." ”
