However, it is said that when Emperor Ling of Han and Zhang Rang were crying for Cao Jie in the palace, Li Zhi also came to the place of Guan Yu with the eunuch who passed the edict.

At this time, Guan Yu had already returned to his usual dress, riding on a tall horse, carrying a big knife, and patrolling the training soldiers back and forth.

"Brother Yun Changxian, Your Majesty has an edict with you, come and receive the edict quickly."

Guan Yu heard Li Zhi's shout, glanced over here, and then rode over on horseback.

When he came to Li Zhi's face, Guan Yu pulled his horse and got off the saddle and bowed.

"Guan Yu and Guan Yun respectfully accept the holy edict."

The eunuch who came with Li Zhi looked at Guan Yu carefully, looked at the big knife he put next to the horse, nodded and took out the edict.

The edict said:

I heard that Hedong Xie Liang Guan's Liangjia Ziyu is excellent in martial arts, skilled in the art of war, and even worships a famous teacher, and now has the heart to join the army to serve the country.

I am very happy to hear it, specially, Zhun Er joined the Northern Army, with all your wishes, I hope that Qing will live up to my expectations.

……… Erqi Qinzai"

"Guan Yu is grateful."

Guan Yu saluted solemnly in the direction of Luoyang, and then took the edict.

At this time, Li Zhi saw that the eunuch had finished announcing the edict and was about to leave, and after giving Guan Yu a look, he hurriedly stopped the eunuch.

"Wait, this chamberlain's surname?"

When the eunuch saw Li Zhi stopping him, he frowned, and said with an unhappy face: "Our family Zhao Zhong, I don't know why the prince stopped our family?"

If there is nothing important, our family will have to go back to the palace to resume their lives. ”

"Nothing, just... Knowing that Zhao Gong passed on the edict hard, he specially prepared a thin gift to express his heart, and hoped that Zhao Gong would accept it. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Guan Yu, who was walking with two people carrying boxes.

Zhao Zhong's eyes lit up when he saw it, his face instantly improved, and he said with a smile: "Hey~ How embarrassing is this, the son is too polite, our family can't ask for it!" ”

Although he said no, his eyes were fixed on the box.

Seeing this, Li Zhi despised him in his heart, and continued to persuade him with nausea.

"This is a mistake, Zhao Gong worked tirelessly for my virtuous brother, came to announce the edict, and I really didn't want to go, if Zhao Gong didn't accept it, it would be despised below!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's face was a little angry.

Zhao Zhong originally wanted it very much, but he just excused himself, but now when he saw him say this, he immediately agreed.

"Childe doesn't need to be angry, even so... Then we will accept it. ”

With that, he let his fellow guards carry the box over.

After that, Zhao Zhong said goodbye to Li Zhi: "Thank you to our son, now that everything is over, our family is going back to the palace."

When Li Zhiyan heard this, he arched his hand and returned the salute.

"Zhang Gong walks slowly."

"Farewell!."

Looking at the back of Zhao Zhong and his entourage leaving, Li Zhi let out a long breath, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"It's finally fooled, and the saying that a companion is like a tiger is not wrong at all!

is as faint as Liu Hong, and it is very scary to be serious! ”

Then, he sorted out his mood, settled down and said to Guan Yu on the side: "Brother Yun Changxian, now that this matter has passed, I can go to the banquet to celebrate, Wen Ruo and the others are waiting for me in Cao Mansion." ”

When Guan Yu heard this, he nodded, and arched his hand: "Everything is arranged by my brother."

Just as the two of them were on their way to Cao Cao's mansion, Zhao Zhong also returned to the palace at this time.

"How?

So Guan Yu can be?

What blades are made?

How many soldiers have been trained?

Are there any wounded soldiers in the training? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhong entered the hall, Liu Hong asked a series of questions impatiently.

Zhao Zhong saw that he was in a hurry and immediately responded: "Your Majesty, after the slave maid followed the three peerless sons to the place where Guan Yu was training, he saw that there were less than a hundred people training there.

But that Guan Yu was using a big knife, and everyone in the barracks was in good spirits, and there were no injuries."

When Liu Hong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, he still liked Li Zhi very much, and he didn't want him to be the one who killed Cao Jie, but now he has finally cleared his suspicion.

Zhang Rang on the side heard this, but he hated the root of his teeth, and his heart was also sad and indignant.

"What a three-peer son! It's really thoughtful! Everything was taken into account.

Our family is planted this time, in the future, don't let our family seize the opportunity, otherwise we will not spare you! ”

Just when Zhang Rang scolded Li Zhi in his heart, Liu Hong opened his mouth and asked him: "I like this person very much, and now it has been confirmed that he is innocent, and I want to reward him, Zhang Qing thinks Li Zhi can win any position?" ”

"No!"

Zhang Rang heard that he was going to add an official to Li Zhi, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Seeing that Zhang Rang was so excited, Liu Hong looked at him with some doubts, so he asked, "Why is Zhang Qing like this?" ”

Seeing that Liu Hong's eyes were wrong, Zhang Rang also knew that he was a little too excited.

So he calmed down and explained to Liu Hong slowly.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhi is only a white body now, and he has no merits, if he rashly increases his ranks, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government will block him."

"Humph!" When Liu Hong heard this, he snorted coldly.

"I am the son of heaven, how to act, and I need others to teach me?

Isn't this Li Zhi's gift to me a great achievement? ”

Speaking of which, Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang coldly, and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Rang's performance today.

"Zhang Qing doesn't need to say much, I have already made up my mind, and I will seal Li Zhi as a free rider, go and give an edict!"

"Your Majesty, never!"

Although Zhang Rang knew that Liu Hong's patience with him had reached the limit, he had to come out to stop it.

Because he can see from what Li Zhilai said a few days ago when he offered wine that Li Zhi's kung fu is no worse than him.

Moreover, judging from the incident of Cao Festival this time, Li Zhi is also a thoughtful person.

If you leave it in the capital, it will be a big disaster in the future, and I am afraid that you will lose your place in front of the emperor in the future.

"Huh?!"

Liu Hong was completely angry, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Bold! How dare you resist the decree?! ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he was frightened and hurriedly made a big salute.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are not selfish in this matter, but for the sake of Your Majesty, so they obstruct it.

Your Majesty also thought that if it was just because he was pleasing His Majesty, he would be promoted to a knighthood, and at that time, the ministers of the court and the central government would inevitably accuse His Majesty of abolishing the public for personal reasons. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong cautiously, and saw that he was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Hong with sincere eyes.

Hearing Zhang Rang mention the ministers in the court, Liu Hong's heart was also a little worried, and Liu Hong was helpless against the old stubbornness in the court.

However, he is the emperor, how can he be soft in front of a slave and maid, so he said stiffly: "I am a great man!" My private affairs are the official affairs of the world.

I am just one person, how can it be regarded as a private abolition? These old stubborn deceives me too much! ”

By the end, his tone was already tinged with dissatisfaction.

When Zhang Rang heard this, he knew that Liu Hong had actually let go of the matter, but he was a little embarrassed on his face, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he had an idea.

"Your Majesty, if you add an official to Li Zhi, you will inevitably be obstructed by the ministers of the court.

However, if he is knighted, but there is no such obstruction, you don't see, Cai Lun makes paper, is it also a knighthood?

And now that Li Zhi has won the favor of His Majesty, he can also follow this example, and he will be knighted, so it is not a disadvantage to him. ”

Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but he thought of a way to drive Li Zhi out of Luoyang.

Then he hurriedly said to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, Li Zhi obtained the method of brewing this wine from a hermit in the mountains, which made His Majesty make a fortune.

It is better to seal the title of Li Zhi, and the fief is also in his hometown Yingchuan, after he returns to Yingchuan, His Majesty can let him go into the mountains to find the hermit, and see if there are any other wonderful ways to dedicate to His Majesty. ”

This is Zhang Rang's desire to take advantage of Liu Hong's love for money and drive Li Zhi back to Yingchuan.

When Liu Hong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed by a wine-making method, if he had a few more .......

Thinking of this, Liu Hong nodded again and again and said, "This is a great good!" Zhang Qing really has a talent for Liangping! ”
