Chapter 620: Exoneration (2)

Emperor Ling's jealousy of Liu Lan is actually just that painting, that wolf, whether it is a bad prophecy or a good prophecy, the Son of Heaven has always believed that it is the former, but from the current point of view, Liu Lan's loyalty is worthy of affirmation, and judging from Liu Lan's practice of killing the county order in anger, such a wolf will not be able to make a big deal, so the Son of Heaven completely believes that the four beasts are good after thinking about it for a long time, Liu Lan, a sharp boy like him, if he does not have his own back, his temper will sooner or later end up with no place to be buried, Xu Zijiang said that he was Xiao Weiqing, and I see, he was another Huo Hussar.

Emperor Ling subconsciously took a sip of the bottle of wine, at this time the hall was silent, everyone peeked at the Son of Heaven, I don't know how he would choose, in fact, now clear-eyed people, such as Cao Cao can see, Liu Lan's most beautiful move is to come to King Qin, no matter whether the Son of Heaven wants to kill him in the end, but at this time he will never do anything to him, the reason is very simple, just rush Liu Lan to King Qin, this point The Son of Heaven will not be able to treat his crimes, since he will win and not lose, Cao Cao will naturally not worry about Liu Lan's safety, He is more concerned about whether his friend, who once fought side by side, can be reinstated.

Captain Gokarasuma.

This is enough to make Cao Cao stick a knife in both sides, not to mention that the simple friendship is completely helping friends, and there is no trace of philistine.

Friend?

Cao Cao and Liu Lan, friends on both sides, and fought together, that's all, but that day Feng came to the building, the ideals of the two made the two instantly intersect like irreversible, and it was this common goal that made Cao Cao willing to stand up for him, and Cao Cao, who squinted his eyes, did not hide the joy in his heart at all, and patiently waited for the choice of the Son of Heaven. Soon, the Son of Heaven finally spoke up. Put down the wine bottle and ask Cao Cao with a smile. Said: "Don't be greedy, don't rush to attack, it's good, it's good, it's good." The Son of Heaven said three very good things to Cao Cao in a row, which was a recognition of him, and it was also a praise for him: "Merit will be rewarded, this is the ...... of success" The Son of Heaven stared at Cao Cao, a little hesitant. I don't seem to know how to reward him. suddenly looked at Cao Song: "Giving birth to a son should be like Cao Mengde, Ju Gao, you raised a good son." ”

What does the Son of Heaven mean by that? Figuring out the meaning is one of Cao Song's best plays, he can see the Son of Heaven's love for his son, which makes Cao Song extremely proud at this moment, there are such descendants who can have such a long face for his father in front of the Son of Heaven, and who is a father who doesn't like it and is not proud of him, but since the Son of Heaven values him so much. But why did he say such things to himself, such ulterior motives? Now Meng De is a military captain, and he can't be promoted again, but he also holds the position of Yilang. Although he is a petty official of 600 stones, he has the authority to enter and leave the palace, if he is promoted. Upgrading to the first level is nothing more than advising the doctor, and the rank of the second-level Zhongsan doctor is also 600 stones. If you are promoted three levels in a row, it will be a doctor in Taizhong. Rank and thousands of stones, and then climb up to enter Jiuqing, the Son of Heaven will definitely not let Meng Delian be promoted to three levels, this is not in line with the norm, even if you agree, the courtiers will object, and it is difficult to make the trip, as for the Zhongsan doctor and the counselor doctor, it can be considered, but the only headache is that the discussion Lang is an idle position, that is, the false name of taking the grain, the key is the position of the military captain in the West Garden, if you really go to do the Zhongsan doctor and the counselor, then you will really enter the Guanglu Temple, and the military captain will have to be replaced.

After figuring it out, he understood why the Son of Heaven was so embarrassed, he wanted to promote Cao Cao, but he couldn't be promoted, let it out, but he had just been recruited from the local government to Beijing, and Yilang was actually the crossing layer of gold, as long as he was released again, he would be directly a Taishou, even if he didn't consider the matter of Yilang, just a military captain, this is a real power captain, ten thousand times stronger than those miscellaneous generals, and in Beijing, it is faster to make some achievements and promotions than to be released to be Taishou.

immediately came out of the ranks and said: "As a father, I am proud to have such a son, I am proud of my son, but as a courtier, I don't think Cao Cao should be sealed, even if he wants to be sealed, he will only be rewarded with money, grain, silk and cloth, not promoted." ”

Cao Song said impassionedly, righteous and awe-inspiring, everyone couldn't believe why Cao Song said such a thing, could it be that he was old and confused, but at this moment, the Son of Heaven praised Cao Song's words a lot, but there was a look of doubt on his face: "Why? ”

"Meng De is still young, at such a young age, he will occupy the position of military captain and Yilang, and then the vassals are afraid that he will not be competent, and the ministers think that it is better to let him train for a few years!!"

"Mengde, what do you think?"

Cao Cao is such a smart person, he can naturally understand the good intentions of the two, and said loudly: "It is all up to the Son of Heaven, and the Taiwei is in charge!" ”

"That's good."

Immediately, the Son of Heaven rewarded all the meritorious personnel, but Cao Cao and Liu Lan did not mention a word, but Cao Song at this time did not worry at all, the Son of Heaven did not reward him, but did not make a decision on how much to reward for a while, after all, the current treasury is worried, the inner treasury is tight, he needs to wait for the Jizhou treasury to count the amount of money and grain before he can make a reward, otherwise now he will not be able to give it when the time comes, so will he not be criticized for this son of heaven?

As for Liu Lan, the matter was better solved, but the Son of Heaven did not see him in front of everyone, but kept him hanging until the banquet was over before recruiting him into the official residence.

The whole room was hung with colorful satin, and in the recess of the wall of the room was the sword of the Son of Heaven, the scabbard was made of pure gold, the hilt of the sword was inlaid with a brilliant ruby, and the palace lamp lit up the whole house, luxurious, far more magnificent than the study of the Son of Heaven he had visited.

Liu Lan was busy giving gifts to the Son of Heaven as soon as he entered the hall and saw the jade case: "Liu De'an, the criminal minister, meet my emperor, my emperor for ten thousand years, and the Han Dynasty for ten thousand years!" ”

The Son of Heaven immediately smiled when he saw him like this, and motioned to Zhong Juan on the side to send a jar of imperial wine he had prepared to Liu Lan: "I heard that you are addicted to alcohol, and it must be uncomfortable to drink good wine in the past half a year, oh, this altar of imperial wine has been rewarded to you, go back and drink it later!" ”

"Emperor Xie!" Liu Lan said happily, but his heart was dripping blood, he watched too many court dramas, this wine is often poisonous wine, it won't be that he really doesn't plan to let himself go, thinking about the actions of the Son of Heaven from beginning to end, it is very like, Liu Lan's heart is about to drip blood, he reluctantly took the wine jar, went back and smashed it directly, and then continued to run, lamented, but he didn't want the Son of Heaven to look at his face that turned blue in an instant and laughed: "Don't worry, it's good wine, it's not poisonous!" ”

"No...... No! Liu Lan was a little speechless, but fortunately, Emperor Ling didn't want to dwell too much on this matter: "Liu Deran, no, Liu De'an, I changed this name for you at the beginning, I hope it is the world's Anlan, this time I came to King Qin, I have heard of your achievements, following the rebellion of Karasuma in the three counties, you have once again killed and captured the flag, this credit is great, very great." ”

When Emperor Ling said this, his words suddenly changed, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he slapped the jade case with his palm: "However, your responsibility is also great, and it is simply lawless to kill the feudal officials without permission!" ”

"Enlightened Son of Heaven, there will be hardships in the end, it is the thief ......"

"I know all this, but this is not an excuse for you to kill Zuo Feng, let alone the tongue of your killing his whole family, the law is in front, and everything can be dealt with by the captain of Si Li, don't you, as Lu Longling, even know this!" Emperor Han Ling stood up suddenly in excitement, and even smashed the wine bottle on the table to the ground, and the wine was spilled all over the ground.

The wrath of the Son of Heaven, floating corpses for thousands of miles, and rivers of blood, Liu Lan finally realized the horror of this: "The minister is guilty!" ”

Emperor Ling was originally to scare him, but at this time, seeing that he had a good attitude of admitting his guilt, he snorted and said: "Since you know the guilt, but you have the merit of saving the driver, and the merit outweighs the fault, I will temporarily exempt you from the culpability, but don't expect the official to be reinstated and go back to be your captain of the Karasuma Guard, and let you go back to Lu Longsai ......" Emperor Ling shook his head, still had some concerns, pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his head, but asked Liu Lan rhetorically: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"Me?" Liu Lan didn't expect the Son of Heaven to ask himself, a little unbelievable, but looking at the burning eyes of the Son of Heaven, he thought about it, and said with a little weakness: "Or Zhuoxian?" ”

"It's not good, if you don't put this hungry wolf on the border for the Han Dynasty, sooner or later there will be trouble, so let's go to Liaodong!"

Going to Liaodong? Although it is a little colder, it is also within the acceptable range of Liu Lan, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is more suitable for Liu Lan to deploy the next big plan, you must know that there will be half a year before entering 189 AD, if he remembers well, Emperor Ling will go west in this year!

He immediately said, "The minister obeys!" (To be continued......)
