Yankang three years, it has already passed the autumn, Yuan Shang just rushed to Luoyang, Yuan Shang's line is a year, it is really puzzling to the ministers, especially the servant Ling Xun Yu even stayed in Jingnan, now the service in the platform, most of them are young officials, accompany the Son of Heaven, review the table, the Son of Heaven also intends to support some young people, among which Yuan Xi is the leader of these young officials.

He successfully passed the assessment before, although he didn't get any ranking, but among so many candidates, he can be regarded as having some ability, he was awarded the servant shooting captain, and he is a subordinate of Xun Yu's subordinates, and he needs to boil up some qualifications, but somehow, he was looked down upon by the Son of Heaven, and the ministers were a little puzzled, why a person like Yuan Xi could also be favored by the Son of Heaven, it stands to reason that his reputation is not good, but it is one of the three evils of Luoyang.

In terms of talent, it is only in the middle and upper-middle, that is, Liu Yi and Cao Zhang, who are both the three evils of Luoyang, he is inferior, Liu Yi is now in such an important position as Luoyang Ling, less than half a year, he has already made a lot of political achievements, not to mention the persuasion of nongsang, mainly because he caught a lot of pests who were traitors, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles in Luoyang, especially some traitors who were suspected of being in the royal family.

For example, the nephew of the late Empress Dowager Song, Song Zhe, although this person has no great evil, but he is a ranger who loves to collude with inside and outside Luoyang, often wandering in Fang City, making trouble for nothing, and Manzhong arrested him several times, but because he was not at fault and involved Song's relatives, he could only be punished and then released, which not only did not make Song Zhe afraid, but he pulled up the tiger skin of the royal family and did whatever he wanted, but he was also smart and never made a big fuss, at least not let Manzhong know.

Until one day, he met Liu Yi who was inspecting Luoyang, Song Zhe did not take this county order in his eyes, and then, it was Liu Yi who escorted him to the county office, when Song Zhe raised his head, shouted: "I am the nephew of the late Empress Dowager Song!" Liu Yi smiled and grinned, "I'm still the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang!" Someone!! Cut it for me!! ”

At this time, Song Zhefang realized his mistake, but no matter how he begged for mercy, he couldn't make Liu Yi change his mind, this was originally a ruthless man who governed the ram, when the ram drew his sword, it was nothing to have some family affection, just like that, Song Zhe was directly executed by Liu Yi, and then, the Song family did not dare to come to Liu Yi for revenge, which made Liu Yi very angry, how can you not come to revenge? ?

So, within three months, he caught all the traitors and criminals in Luoyang, regardless of their background, all of them were executed, and suddenly, Luoyang was cleared, and there was even a situation where the door was not closed at night, such a situation, in a short period of time, only twice, one of which was when Cao Cao served as the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and the second time was the period of full favor, these two people, today's achievements are not small, therefore, everyone also knows that Liu Yi will have some achievements in the future!

Only Liu Yi was a little angry in his heart, these people didn't come to take revenge, it was really hateful!

And the other evil, that is, Cao Zhang, the son of Situ Gong, this person has successfully graduated from military studies, and now he has been sent to the southwest, which is responsible for guarding the safety of Jiaozhou and Funan, and at the same time, there is the most important duty, although no one said it to his face, but they all know it, that is, to expand the territory, Cao Zhang's rush to the southwest is to explore the area leading to Kushan, expand the territory, clear the beasts, arrange the migration of people, and turn these borderless lands into Han land.

The last one to hold this position is now in Guishan, commanding the most elite Southern Army of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Yuan Xi is the least obvious of the three evils, but no one thought that he would be valued by the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shang rushed to Luoyang, the first thing was to go to meet the Son of Heaven, entered the palace, and no one stopped him, all the way to the Houde Palace, for this confidant who had not seen him for a long time, Liu Xi still behaved extremely affectionately, and what made Yuan Shang a little puzzled was that his second brother Yuan Xi was also in the Houde Palace, and there were several officials around him, they were all immersed in reviewing the performance, and when they saw Yuan Shang entering, Yuan Xi raised his head, smiled, and continued to do his own thing.

Yuan Shang nodded, he knew about Yuan Xi's entry into the middle platform, such a thing could not be hidden from him, what he was puzzled about was that his brother could work in the Houde Palace, this is what he didn't know, after all, here in the Houde Palace, he couldn't install secret agents, otherwise... Ahem, Liu Xi pulled Yuan Shang and sat on the other side, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liu Xi said: "Gentlemen, I and Xianfu still have something to say, so let's go back first!" ”

Only then did everyone get up, pick up the papers, bow to the Son of Heaven, and then leave here.

Yuan Shang watched his brother leave, and he didn't know how to ask, "Your Majesty, why is my brother here..."

"Hey! Do you look down on your brother like that? Liu Xi asked with a smile, Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "It's not true, it's just... My brother is not clever, I am afraid that he will cause some trouble and anger Your Majesty...", Yuan Shang, as Yuan Xi's younger brother, has some elder meaning in his words, after all, he is the head of the Yuan family, and he is indeed qualified to say these words.

"How so? Xianyi is a person, he is serious, down-to-earth, and never complains, and sometimes, I feel that even Kong Ming Zhongda is inferior to him... This is the place where the servant is located." Liu Xi sighed, but did not continue to speak, but Yuan Shang already understood in his heart, speaking of which, he also understood his brother's temperament, because his background was not high, among Yuan Shao's children, he was not very favored.

Yuan Tan is strong because of his identity as the eldest son, and Yuan Shang is favored because of his father, but the second brother is the only one who seems to be indisputable and honest.

In fact, he was kind-hearted and did not have a gentleman's style. The second brother can be regarded as blessed, he can be valued by the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shang thought to himself, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xi shook his head, smiled without saying a word, and the two talked about Jingzhou, Yuan Shang seriously informed the Son of Heaven in detail about his things along the way, and nothing was left behind, but he did not express any of his own opinions, he was just the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, not the brain of the Son of Heaven, he only needed to inform the Son of Heaven of what he saw and heard, as for the idea, he didn't need to mention it more.

"Cao Situ forced the people to dig a canal??" Liu Xi asked in some surprise.

Yuan Shang nodded and did not speak.

Liu Xi's face was a little gloomy, his fists were clenched, and he was silent for a moment before asking, "What about Zhongda?" ”

"He's assisting with that."

"Ridiculous!! My Situ is such a traitor who oppresses the people for the sake of merit?! Liu Xi was furious and stood up suddenly, this was the first time Yuan Shang saw the Son of Heaven so out of shape and so angry, he was suddenly a little frightened in his heart, lowered his head, and said nothing, Liu Xi paced back and forth in the Houde Hall irritably, and after a while, he said: "You go back and rest first, I will deal with this matter!" ”

Yuan Shang immediately bowed again, and then left the Houde Palace.

Liu Xi sat in front of the case, thought for a long time, took out a piece of music from under the case, looked at the music table in his hand, Liu Xi was stunned for a long time, only then did he tear the music watch apart and throw it in front of him, he closed his eyes, sat for a long time, and then calmed down, he picked up the paper from the side, and only then did he write, scribble and change, and wrote for a long time, and then shouted: "Qi Yue!" ”

Qi Yue immediately rushed in and bowed to Liu Xi.

"Send this edict to Jingzhou immediately and to Cao Situ's hands!!"

"Respectfully!"

Looking at the departing Qi Yue, Liu Xi sighed, Cao Cao used the people to dig the canal, in fact, he played with him, but he always pretended not to know, the torn table was played by Cao Cao, however, knowing is one thing, what Yuan Shang said is another thing, Liu Xi understands in his heart the great benefits after the canal is successfully dug up, but in his heart... But I still can't bear it.

He knew that the merit was in the future, but he still didn't want his people to suffer.

This is also the reason why Liu Xi is hesitant and irritable, should he think about the great benefits of the canal, or should he think about the suffering people in Jingbei?

Liu Xi still had his own decision in his heart, and the edict was also sent to Jingzhou.

Liu Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly, I am still not ruthless enough.

..........

The next day, on the second day of Yuan Shang's return to Luoyang, the embroidered messengers dispatched, and rushed straight to the Luoyang official school, when the embroidered messengers rushed to the Luoyang official school, guarding the surroundings, the sacrificial wine in the official school were stunned, some were even scared of the feet, and some could not walk, the notoriety of the embroidered messengers, who did not know, who was not afraid, why did they rush here?

At the same time, in the empty classroom, sweat was dripping from the forehead of Wang Saijiu, in front of him, there were two people kneeling down, one big and one small, the small one was naturally Yuan Yao, he didn't find the panicked appearance of the sacrificial wine at the moment, just lowered his head, ready to be reprimanded, and the other person was Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang had a cold face, stared at the sacrificial wine, and asked unhappily: "Dare to ask the sacrificial wine, what is the reason for calling me?" Didn't Yao'er Mo make some mistakes?? ”

"Haha, how can it be, Yao'er, this child, pure heart, unique ideas, many times, what he said, I don't know how to refute, cough cough, this time I called Yuan Jun to come, mainly to let Yuan Jun be able to govern a little, this son is smart, he will become a big weapon in the future, but he just doesn't like to read...", the sacrificial wine said cautiously, and looked around, at the door, and even at the window, there were embroidered messengers with swords standing.

Yuan Shang nodded, looked at Yuan Yao on the side, and said unhappily: "In the future, you must listen to the words of the sacrificial wine, and you are not allowed to mess around, otherwise, when I come again, I will definitely clean you up!! ”

Listening to Yuan Shang's words, the sacrificial wine was a little panicked, do you want to clean me up? ?

Yuan Yao lowered his head, not daring to refute, Yuan Shang reprimanded for a while, then looked at the sacrificial wine, and said gently: "Wang Jun, I will rest assured that this son will be handed over to you, I am really busy on weekdays, I can't take care of him, I hope you don't mind, another day, I invite you to come to my place!" ”

"It doesn't have to!! Need not!! ”

"Then I'll take my leave." Yuan Shang saluted towards the king's sacrificial wine, before leaving here, watching the embroidered messengers leave one after another, the original sacrificial wines who couldn't walk had the courage to scold these eagle dogs, their faces were full of rebelliousness, the king's sacrificial wine wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the child in front of him helplessly, and asked, "Do you have other relatives at home?" ”

Yuan Yao thought for a moment before he said, "Yes!" Your Majesty is my father's disciple, and I can go on a trip to Houde..."

"That's it! All right! Don't say any more... Your Majesty is okay, but there are other parents? Something milder? ”

"Oh, I have an uncle named Hua Xiong."

"Hehe..."
