CHAPTER XXVIII
The content of the letter is written in complex and awkward Chinese, Yuan Shao looks at it is nothing, Xiang Qing is more troublesome to read this letter, although he has a certain literary foundation, but he still needs a word-by-word translation to understand it in general, Yuan Shao glanced at it and finished it, Xiang Qing stared at it for a long time, everyone thought that Xiang Qing was reading carefully and carefully, where did they know that Xiang Qing could not understand.
The general meaning of this letter Xiang Qing is to see clearly, Cao Cao has a friend named Wang Fen, is the current Jizhou Assassin History, Wang Fen wrote a letter to Cao Cao some time ago, the content is that some ordinary people are not living, and His Majesty is mediocre and the like, from the surface, it is an ordinary complaint, but after Cao Cao's careful analysis, between the lines of this letter, are all kinds of dissatisfaction with Emperor Han Ling, plus Jizhou is also the richest state and county in the world, and the power of Jizhou Assassin is also very great, this Wang Fen may be unfavorable to His Majesty, so be vigilant against Yuan Shao and Xiang Qing in Luoyang and take more precautions.
Cao Cao's meaning is very clear in the letter, now Emperor Han Ling is here, several major forces in the court check and balance each other, and the political situation is still stable, but now the heirs of Emperor Han Ling are very young, not to mention that His Majesty has not set up a prince now, and there has been no master in the East Palace, if Emperor Han Ling is dead, the newly enthroned emperor is fledgling, if it is mastered by the ministers, then the world will be in chaos, so we must ensure that Emperor Han Ling is foolproof, there can be no mistakes, if this Wang Fen really moved the mind of assassination, it is also more dangerous, There are two people under him, in the early years, they were famous martial arts masters all over the world, one is called Jing Zhan, and the other is called Liang Mu, these two people nominally returned to the mountains and forests, but in fact, they accepted Wang Fen's solicitation not long ago, and Cao Cao just got the news about this matter.
Yuan Shao looked at Xu You: "Ziyuan, what is the purpose of this Meng De to leave such a letter?" ”
Xu You pinched his goatee: "Originally, we knew that this Wang Fen was Agui's friend, and we also knew the news of Jing Zhan and Liangmu, there is no need to question the authenticity of this letter, even if this Wang Fen really made a move, now that His Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, let Jing Zhan and Liangmu's martial arts become world-famous, it is impossible to assassinate in tens of thousands of imperial forest troops, right?" ”
Yuan Shao shook his head: "I'm not asking about the assassination, I'm asking why Cao Cao wants to leave this letter to me, Junhe is in the palace, just give it to Junhe directly, why do you want to bring me with you." ”
Xu You shook his head again, and said: "Originally, Ah Pu meant that you held a funeral for your mother and lost the official position of Puyang Ling, and now this good opportunity for meritorious service is given to you and allows you to return to officialdom?" ”
Yuan Shao laughed: "This Cao Mengde, what kind of person is I Yuan Benchu, if I want to be an official, it will be as easy as a hand, probe for things, and still use him to give me credit?" ”
Yuan Shao closed the envelope, handed it to Xiang Qing and said: "Junhe, if Wang Fen's matter is true, it will be a great achievement, you don't have to be this little squire anymore, if it is fake, it will not hurt, just don't have this letter, so as not to fall into the mouth." ”
The flames engulfed the envelope, although Yuan Shao was also a person who was a corporal on the surface, but in fact, the arrogance in Yuan Shao's bones could not be hidden, Xiang Qing and Cao Cao stayed together, and everything was very comfortable, and Yuan Shao was together, so he was a little uncomfortable, he burned the letter, and said goodbye to Yuan Shao and left Yuan's mansion.
"Xiao Xu, Senior Brother gave us a house, let's go take a look?"
Xiang Xu happily replied, "Okay." ”
This yard is not luxurious, blue bricks and gray tiles, four rooms and a yard, although the yard is smaller, but there is no problem with drying some clothes, this house is cleaned very clean, they both like it very much, the furnishings in the room are also everything, it can be called a sparrow although small but all the organs are complete, Luoyang's land price is the most expensive in the world, to be able to buy such a house in Luoyang City, it must have cost Wang Yue a lot of money, this kindness Xiang Qing in my heart.
Just when Xiang Qing and Xiang Xu were about to go back to Cao's Mansion to get their luggage, they saw Liu Hu and Wang Shu squatting at the door of Cao's Mansion, and the two were waiting for them.
The two shouted from a distance: "Second master." ”
Xiang Qing looked at the enthusiastic two people and asked, "You two are not patrolling the streets, what are you doing here?" ”
Wang Shu scratched his head: "The two of us are no longer from the Yamen. ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't look like they were joking, Xiang Qing asked, "Then have you found a new job?" ”
Liu Hu knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands: "Second master, I, Liu Hu, swore that I must follow the second master, no matter what the second master asks me to do, I am willing." ”
Wang Shu also knelt down immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, so do I, I also want to follow the second master." ”
"Isn't it good to be in the yamen? Isn't it better to be a servant than to follow me? ”
Wang Shu replied: "Second master, Lord Cao has been promoted and left, the new northern lieutenant is not a good official, we don't want to follow him to oppress the people, although we are not good people, but we know that Lord Cao and the second master are good people, so we must follow the second master and be an upright person." ”
Xiang Qing was helpless, these two people were really stalked, they couldn't leave, they could only go with them, and after entering Cao Mansion to ask Cao Song for peace, they packed up their luggage and moved out of Cao Mansion, the two of them didn't have much luggage, just a few pieces of torn clothes, but Liu Hu and Wang Shu had to help Xiang Qing carry it, and they couldn't stop it.
The four houses are one for each person, but they are quite spacious, because Liu Hu's feet smell, so Xiang Xu must live in a room far away from Liu Hu, with Xiang Qing's east house in the middle, Liu Hu and Wang Shu live opposite the door, and Wang Shu has to endure the smell of salted fish wafting from the opposite door in the middle of the night every day.
On the days when Xiang Qing should not be on duty, Xiang Qing took Xiang Xu Liu Hu and Wang Shu out of the city to play, went down to the river to fish, climbed trees on the mountain, and occasionally taught Liu Hu martial arts, although this big fat man has the strength to fight, but he will only have a few tricks to embroider his legs, Xiang Qing has always liked the loyal Xu Chu and Dian Wei when he saw the Three Kingdoms, so he used his salary to create a pair of halberds for Liu Hu, Liu Hu was grateful, practiced martial arts every day, and the progress was also very fast. No one dares to provoke Xiang Qing easily.
When he entered the palace on duty, Xiang Qing would be pestered by the queen mother to learn the sword, where did Xiang Qing dare to let the queen mother squat or something, he could only teach a few good-looking movements, let the queen follow and learn, never thought that after the queen learned the sword, the queen who was still young and the body had not yet developed became more and more graceful, and Emperor Han Ling, who did not come often, actually followed the devil, and ran to the queen's bedroom in three days.
Even the naked tour hall that has just been built, Emperor Han Ling is not interested, so he comes here every day to watch the queen dance the sword, after the dance, what should I do, at this moment, Xiang Qing is outside the hall, and there are some unbearable sounds in the hall, Xiang Qing can only hide far away, looking at the nose, nose and mouth, mouth and heart, deaf.
Think about it carefully, those warblers and swallows in this harem are all delicate and lovely, gentle and graceful, I am afraid that Emperor Han Ling has long been tired of playing the same style, and accidentally learned that the queen is practicing swords, and that different temperament deeply attracted Emperor Han Ling, for a while, in the harem, the wind of martial arts is everywhere, and those weak ladies have picked up the sword and danced, but their teachers are not all like Xiang Qing, Xiang Qing knows how to dance well, and the guards in other palaces are all murderous swords, which are not good-looking at all, So they dance the sword and return to the sword dance, which is not attractive at all, but ugly, this may be Dong Shi's imitation.
After a while, Emperor Han Ling, who was done in the palace, was about to look for the guard who practiced the sword of the queen, and a group of little eunuchs ran out to look for Xiang Qing.
"Oh, my Xiang Langjun, this majesty is still waiting to see you in the palace, please hurry up and come with me."
Xiang Qing waved his hand without raising his head: "Go, go, don't bother me, I just arrived at the most intense place!" As he spoke, he also commanded with a small stick: "You're too stupid here, he didn't even break it, so you should copy the back road at this time, you know?" Hey, that's right, just fight like this, I said that he has copied the back road, you hurry back to the defense, what kind of formation are you, the troops are out of touch, waiting for the opposite side to scatter and surround each to break it, right, alas, rotten wood can't be carved, you don't want to lose this time, you deserve it. ”
The little eunuch had no choice but to call everyone over, and then forcibly lifted Xiang Qing up and walked to the hall, Xiang Qing's eyes were always staring at the two groups of ants, and finally the losing side was forced to hand over the stored grain, and retreated in a gray manner, Xiang Qing thought thoughtfully, and when he came back to his senses, he was already kneeling in the hall, with Emperor Han Ling sitting on the dragon chair in front of him, and the disheveled queen next to him.
"Xiang Aiqing."
Xiang Qing immediately kowtowed and shouted: "The minister is here." ”
"I heard that you are fascinated by watching ants fight, right?"
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't want to disturb His Majesty's interest, so he went a little farther and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins."
Emperor Han Ling laughed: "Well, you are so interesting, I also heard that the queen's sword dance was taught by you?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty's words, exactly."
"You have done a good job, what reward do you want?"
Premium? Rewarded for watching an ant yourself? What kind of logic is this, but I heard that these emperors like those self-defiled courtiers, and don't like Qing officials, Han Prime Minister Xiao He deliberately greedy for money, just to let Liu Bang rest assured not to kill him, only those with shortcomings are easy to control.
Xiang Qing replied loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister likes money, please give Your Majesty a lot of money." ”
