"In the past, when I returned to Yingchuan from Hanzhong, Yin Zijin saved our lives, and the old man couldn't help but report it. This time it can be regarded as a good advocacy, Yin Zijin has a lot of relationships in Nanyang and Yingchuan, and now my Shi clan has just gotten a respite, if it moves, it will affect the whole body. Deran also needs to understand the truth. ”

The sky is dusk, the birds chirp gracefully, jumping on the branches, the spring cicadas "know it" calling, Xun Shuang worshiped Liu Shi, and Liu Zheng walked to the grass house, looking at the peach orchard. There are many more tombstones inside, and in the deepest part, Liu Bei wept silently and bowed down in front of Liu Shi's tomb, Lu Zhi and Li Shi comforted him on the side, and Gongsun Zhan also looked sad, patting Liu Bei's back and saying something.

I understand. If not, maybe ...... Yin Gongzi doesn't have to come here to ask for trouble. He also helped me a lot, and there were many people in the farm and workshop who were pleading. ”

Liu Zheng looked solemn, glanced sideways at the peach orchard, his eyes flashed with sunshine, slightly confused.

In the distance, Cai Xiao was taking Cai Shu and Cai Bin to worship Qian Feng and Su Yue - Su Yue did not survive after all, and passed away on February 30.

Steward Zhang brought tea and water back and forth.

A little further, Cao Cao, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and others, together with several elders and peers of the Cao family and Xiahou family, also worshiped the tombstone under the guidance of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, with a sigh of emotion.

Sun Jian, Sun Jing, Cheng Pu and others were chatting with Gongsun Yue and Sun Hao on the side, while Xi Zhicai and Cai Yu were sitting on the grassy slope by the peach orchard and talking about something, Fei Boren pulled Fei Yi, and Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan was also talking.

Most of the people's faces were solemn, and there were occasional smiles, but the sunset cemetery was not a place for laughter after all, and in general, everyone retained a faint solemnity.

For Liu Zheng, this face is also strange, whether it will continue according to the original process in the future, these characters are also the leaders of the three kingdoms who divided the world in the original history, I didn't expect that in addition to the court, they could meet here, or because of him.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian are not angels who came with Xun Shuang this time.

Sun Jian was previously recommended to join the military because of Cao Cao's relationship, and this time he was ordered by Zhang Wen, who was transferred from Sikong to the general of the chariot cavalry, and came to the land of the Yan Dynasty to recruit troops, and prepared to gather the soldiers of Wuhuan and Xiongnu together with Gongsun Zan and Zou Jing to go to Youfufeng, and gather with Zhang Wen, Dong Zhuo and others in Meiyang City to fight against the rebels of Beigong Boyu and Han Sui in Liangzhou.

Cao Cao became the prime minister of Jinan because of the credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban, and since he left the court and was out of his father's control, he also had the heart to take care of the Xiahou family. I knew about Xiahou Sheng's recovery from the letter, so I also planned to come over to meet Liu Zheng and take Xiahou Yuan's family with him.

Speaking of which, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Sheng had actually returned to Zhuo County with some clansmen from Jiao County at the end of February, and learned that Liu Zheng was in distress and trapped, Xiahou Sheng stayed behind and settled in the city with his clansmen, while Xiahou Yuan went to Luoyang to ask Cao Cao for help. Later, Xiahou Yuan inquired all the way, and by chance met Cao Cao on the official road, so he also came back.

And Liu Bei came over, and the excuse to the outside world was to come back to visit relatives, Liu Zheng didn't know how much he really wanted to worship Liu Shi, but I heard that the other party had recently been entrusted with an important task because of the identity of the Han clan and the credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban, and in a few days he would return to Luoyang with Gongsun Zhan to accept the reward for meritorious deeds - this deed is also like beware of Liu Zheng's assassination, Liu Zheng actually has a sense of freedom out of sight and out of mind.

As for Liu Fan, he was one of the angels who came with Xun Shuang. Now that Liu Yan's promotion to Taichang has been decided, and even the proposal to abolish Shi Limu has been re-pushed by the court, as a son of man, he naturally intends to tell his father the good news in person.

What's more, as a scholar and servant of the imperial history, he is in charge of the law and trial of doubtful cases, and he and several assistants of the court also have the mission of arresting the remaining party of the ten permanent servants. This time, Xun Shuang was able to kill Qin Qiong and the others on his own initiative, but in fact, he also had his acquiescence.

The clan relatives of the Han family have been suppressed by the eunuch party for a long time, and they were finally relieved to kill the ten permanent servants, Liu Zheng's matter is also worth using, and he contributed to this matter, but he also has a little selfishness.

To a certain extent, this time Zhang Yan led people to kill the ten permanent servants, in addition to the fame of China, not only the imperial court was purged, and the scholars were on the throne, but also benefited the people.

Since arriving in Luoyang on February 13, he was killed and retreated to Yanshi, and since the beginning of the fourteenth, he learned that the emperor had stayed in Changqiu Palace at night and suddenly fell unconscious, and then the ten permanent servants manipulated the court to remove Yuan Kui and Zhang Wen, and framed Liu Tao, so that Liu Tao committed suicide by holding his breath, and many ministers were also deposed or killed, and the people who flocked to it were massacred.

In the next few days, five or six hundred thousand Montenegrin troops, led by the red-eyed Zhang Yan, knocked on the gates of the surrounding cities of Luoyang, occupied the city, and used rumors to arouse the anger of the people, while urging the people to go to the outside of Luoyang to ask for their lives.

During this period, Zhang Yan also encountered a lot of coercion and temptation, and even suffered assassination, after luckily not dying, he was also aroused to be ferocious, exterminated any suspicious work, under the frenzied surge of various bright tides and undercurrents, on the night of February 18, led the army to approach Luoyang, and coerced the emperor who was recuperating to come out to meet him.

In the early morning of February 19, the general He Jin finally spoke out, led the civil and military officials to face the saint, and asked the emperor to go out of the city to meet Zhang Yan.

But the emperor and Zhang Yan still confronted each other for several hours, all kinds of coercion and temptation, and said that Zhang Yan was plotting rebellion. In the middle of the night, the emperor still couldn't make up his mind to kill the Ten Standing Servants, and earnestly sought the civil and military officials to open up with Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan didn't expect that Lei Gong Baibo and many leaders were rebelled by the Ten Standing Servants, and almost killed him on the spot.

However, since he was not dead, Zhang Yan was also completely crazy, driving the people and the Montenegrin army to attack Luoyang, tens of thousands of imperial troops surrendered under the persuasion of civil and military officials and Zhang Yan's prestige, and the emperor was also forced to give in.

During the period, Xia Yun and Duan Qi stood by the emperor's side, in a vain attempt to hold the emperor hostage to order hundreds of officials, Zhang Rang and others actually desperately protected the emperor, after He Jin led people to kill Xia Yun and others, Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng, who was loyal to the lord and was seriously injured, cried bitterly to the emperor, in addition to letting the emperor forgive his family, but also said "I am not here, the scholars and relatives will have no one to fight, and please take care of your ...... health" and other words, and then jumped out of the city and died, after which Zhao Zhong and his clansmen and fellow party who were recuperating at home were killed by He Jin and others, Xia Yun, Duan Qi and other family members of the ten permanent servants who did not protect the emperor were also exterminated.

The emperor entrusted Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng and others to leave their families, and posthumously awarded them the title of a sick person, during which he also named Jian Shuo Zhongchang, and the commander of the Xiyuan Army, and promoted Pan Yin and others to become the Zhongchang servant, but also abolished the plan to build the palace again, and also dispersed a lot of palace maids, pickers, and nobles to go home, and let out a lot of treasure and grain hoarded in the West Garden as military resources. And now all the affairs of the court are handed over to the general He Jin and Yuan Kui, who was promoted to lieutenant.

After the matter was over, Zhang Yan was canonized as a general in Pingnan, in charge of the affairs of Hebei, and the power to promote filial piety and Taoism, but the Black Mountain Army was also broken up and absorbed, and now many people have joined the imperial court to go to Liangzhou to fight against Beigong Boyu and Han Sui and other rebellions, and Zhang Yan was also disheartened because of the death of Sun Qing and Wang Dang, and after stepping down as the leader of the alliance, he dispersed many commanders to act separately.

Now the ** 10,000 Montenegrin Army under Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Luo Shi and others are already on their way to Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, firstly, to resist Xianbei, and secondly, they also have the responsibility of supervising and governing the administration and public security of various states.

It's just that it is said that Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Luo Shi and his entourage privately took hundreds of people to Xuzhou to prepare to worship Tong Yuan, and were ambushed on the road.

The rest of the leaders of the Montenegrin Army also had different intentions after Zhang Yan's whereabouts were unknown-or they had different intentions, but now they have taken the credit for their official positions, and they are also doing their own thing, and some of them are tyrannical and robbing the people, that is, they are wearing official skins, and the style of thieves has been repeatedly prohibited.

Liu Zheng actually learned the news from Xun Shuang and others who had just come over. Previously, although Gongsun Zhan did not directly dispose of him, nor did he take him to Luoyang, he also sent a seriously ill guard to take care of him, and only at this time did he have the opportunity to contact people.

Knowing that Zhang Yan had made a lot of contributions, but he ended up like this, and Tong Yuan, Wang Yue, and Liu Tao died as loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel sad. As for Zhongxing Sword, he never received it, even Cai Nu and Zhao Yun's news Cai Yu never mentioned, when Xun Shuang talked about it, Cai Yu still had an anxious expression even if he learned that Cai Nu went to Xuzhou with him, Liu Zheng could also guess it, but he was afraid that Cai Nu had not been summoned back, and there was an accident.

However, the emperor did not pursue the matter of Zhongxing Sword, He Jin and Yuan Kui also specially asked the emperor who woke up in a coma to write a document, and gave Zhongxing Sword to Liu Zheng along the river, and commended him as an example for his clan relatives, which was regarded as a reward for quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Whether this document is a pro or cons is not much can be seen now, but Liu Zheng also understands that the document was written on February 20, that is, the day after the ten permanent servants were ambushed, and Zhang Yan's credit is also included.

According to Liu Zheng's thoughts, perhaps Yuan Kui and He Jin were more afraid of the strength of Zhang Yan and others, and they also had the heart to win over Zhang Yan and him.

"If only you could understand. However, the old man still has to say that since he has been saved, he must not have an accident in the past year and a half. This time, Meng De happened to send someone to Qian County to do some trouble, and I would ask Meng De to send someone to escort him south. Pray that there will be no other accident to him except the plague...... Don't even meet a thief. ”

Xun Shuang smiled, this guidance was heart-to-heart, but he also had the heart of a villain, but he was not afraid that Liu Zheng would mind, he looked at Cai Xiao over there, and took a deep breath, "The old man saw it, and he was able to wake up people like his godbrother with a word, which is considered a bit talented...... When I came over, you used the canvas as a scroll to study the content of the three little apprentices and the children of the Fei family, and I will share it later. The old man should also take it back to show the princes...... Gongda wrote to me before, saying that your advice to the inspection is contrary to your ears, and other scholars may not be able to take care of you, so the old man reluctantly helps you explore the way...... The old man guessed correctly, right? The content of the silk is related to the selection of talents? ”

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. Vital...... Or do some hands and feet on top of the etiquette. This coma is also realizing that looking at things too superficially in the past. At a deeper level, there is a problem with the ritual system...... My great man is not a great man who lifts the lord, nor a great man of the monarch, but a great man of the Han people...... If the people are not protected, the country will not exist, and for the sake of today's plan, it is necessary to make the monarch and everyone in the world know that the country is the first and less to do power schemes. ”

This remark is also a big rebellion, Liu Zheng will say, or because of Zhang Yan's previous experience.

However, Xun Shuang is also accustomed to Liu Zheng's apostasy remarks, although it is a little explicit, but the purpose is still understood, knowing that there is no intention of subverting the dynasty, he smiled, "The court dispute, you have learned a lot before, and you also know that there is some leeway...... You can see through this, and we can see through it, but it's hard to really do it. The people's hearts are sinister, it is Zhang Yan, seeing that he can capture Luoyang, he was not covetous in those days, and he ended up like this, but it is difficult to say whether anyone minds if he has evil thoughts. Not to mention the scholars who have been inherited for hundreds of years and still benefited after the change of dynasty, not everyone can be as pure as you when they see profit and forget their righteousness......"

He also avoided talking about the emperor's character, paused, and the distant mountains and green fields in front of him were covered with yellow veil, and there were farmers and children singing in the distance, his eyebrows were slightly bent, "This ridiculous night watching the rain is a blockbuster, but what did you foresee?" ”

"No, but I met an immortal."

Xun Shuang was stunned, looked over, Liu Zheng glanced at the system, and then glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Taoyuan, and laughed with some emotion, "He told me that I was able to worship Yun Chang and Yide, purely because he helped reduce the thinking ability of the two, so that the two of them were arrogant, and I got cheap." After that, it was about you, Nuxun, and many other people, who were actually suppressed by the immortals to think...... Later, I repeatedly broke the sky, and the immortals couldn't control the situation, so that your thinking ability was restored, and there was a scene where I was tragically pressed to the ground and ridiculed in Wancheng...... When I passed out that night, the immortals discussed with me that either I should go, or the immortals would reduce their mana, leaving me with some abilities, but they would no longer help me through the troubled times. ”

"Oh?"

"Honestly, I want to go."

Liu Zheng glanced at Cai Xiao and smiled calmly, "The days are too hard...... You have to use toilet chips to go to the toilet, there is no stir-frying, there are no tables, chairs and benches, there are many rules, and there are dead people...... The most important thing is that I can't change many things for the time being, so I can only stay in one place, and I may die at any time...... I'm not used to it here. I want to become an immortal, and then I can go back and fly to the sky and shrink the ground into inches...... Oh, and it's a tool made of iron sheets and a bunch of metal......"

He smiled wryly, "You probably wouldn't have imagined that such a trick could be achieved. It's just that I can only go back alone, and if I go back, everything here will continue to develop as it is now, and most people may not be able to get peace and tranquility for the rest of their lives...... As soon as I thought that there was no concern over there, there were still so many people here who couldn't give up, so I was reluctant to leave. Then I gave up some things and came back. ”

"I said a lot of strange things...... The old man is ashamed of himself, okay? ”

Xun Shuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If you think about it, you can become an immortal." ”

"Haha, just talk about it. Let Ciming Gongjian smile. ”

Liu Zheng smiled and bowed his hand, Cai Xiao looked over there, he also looked over, under the sunset, the woman's young face was particularly ruddy, and she lowered her head in a shy posture, he turned his head and said: "Ci Minggong, in the future, the relatives of the Xun family, if you can afford me, Liu will definitely protect each other desperately, and never let the two sisters-in-law and Shu'er happen again."

"This is natural. The old man didn't punish you, you have to keep it in mind. Remember, my Xun family's face has been lost by both of you...... Well, the old man let Yin Yu go, if he is as crazy as Yin Yu slandering you, he may also become an accomplice to slander my Xun family. ”

Xun Shuang smiled bitterly, "But you must always be a gentleman and virtuous." Thou shalt not be reckless. Where is it necessary to be so cautious, if there is a guard, the situation will never be like this. ”

"I also had the heart to deal with the troubled times, and in those days, I felt that my manpower was sometimes poor, and I was also worried that I might die, so I came up with such a plan to put myself to death and live in the future. And we also have a secret way, and we can advance and retreat freely, and Liu is dead...... Oh, it's over, don't mention these bad scenery. ”

"Troubled times...... Or the troubled times that need to fight so hard to practice their guts......"

Xun Shuang took his hands behind him, and turned sideways to face the sunset and distant mountains, and said solemnly: "If the old man remembers correctly, that day in the Wancheng camp, you said that the Shi clan and the eunuch party had a battle, although Zhang Yan took the lead this time, but the confrontation behind the back can be regarded as your proverb. After that, His Majesty died violently, and the ministers rebelled...... Can it be stopped? ”

Originally, this scenery was also comfortable and lazy, and his words were quite casual, but when he said it, Xun Shuang's mood was a little heavier.

The immortal said he couldn't stop it. The numerology that I destroy will be advanced, slowed down, or grafted into the hands of others. For today's plan, only Liu took the lead and ended this troubled world as soon as possible with many virtuous people. ”

Xun Shuang was silent for a while, "So...... You can only be unfilial? ”

"Lust again?"

"Is that okay?"

"Does it work? It's not me who has the final say. ”

Xun Shuang was stunned for a long time and sneered, "It's the same." The old man is really confused, and he is talking to you such nonsense. Immortals are favored...... Oh, do you really think that you are a minister of destiny, and you can't become a genius...... Don't bewitch the people, it's good to bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

Liu Zheng smiled lightly, "It's hard to say." When the time comes, who knows if it will be pushed out to weigh like other clansmen. That would really be a disaster for the country and the people. ”

"I'll break your legs!"

Xun Shuang glared, then glanced at Cai Xiao, and whispered, "There are still more than two years, right?" Can I live that long? ”

"As long as you believe in me, no matter what you think about me, you will definitely be able to relieve your worries and forget your sorrows, and live a long life."

Liu Zheng teased, knowing that Xun Shuang was vaguely talking about getting married, and said, "What position will Ciming Gong be promoted this time when he goes back?" Why don't we advocate having more children and having more children? People are indispensable, especially in the border areas. ”

"The Barbarians Will ......"

Xun Shuang's heart jumped, and he raised his eyebrows, Liu Zheng thought about it and said with a smile: "That's not true." It is the intention to expand the territory, so people cannot be missing. What's more, Brother Zhong Fu is not young anymore, and this achievement is just right for you to enjoy the joy of family. In addition, interracial marriages can also accelerate integration...... Some humble opinion, you go back and think about the decision. By the way, has Duke Ciming ever seen Shiren? ”

"I've seen ......"

Xun Shuang remembered that Shiren had asked him to rescue a palace maid who served as Diao Chan from the palace for no reason, and suddenly said fiercely, "You have recommended more children and more children this time, do you still have to make inches in the future, so that the old man can connive at you and take more concubines?" Old man, no matter whether you think about it or not, as long as the old man is alive and dares to live up to the little girl, you will be ......"

The old man pondered his words, and felt that Taoyuan was not a place to talk cruelly after all, so he snorted coldly and turned around and walked towards Lu Zhi.

Liu Zheng looked inexplicable, Cao Cao was concerned about the situation in Jinan, seeing that Liu Zheng was empty, when he came to say goodbye before, Xiahou Sheng had the heart to repay the favor, but he took his brother Xiahou Lian to stay, and sent Cao Cao Xiahou Yuan and others out of the Zhuang Mansion with Liu Zheng.

When Cao Cao and the others were sent away, there was an accident in the middle, Gongsun Yue left Sun Jian and the others, and after knowing that Cao Cao and the others were leaving, he ignored Liu Zheng's inquiries and chased after them.

When they came back, Cao Cao and the others turned back, everyone was teasing, and Gongsun Yue lowered his head and led the horse to accompany Xiahou Yan's carriage.

Gongsun Yue was implicated by Liu Zheng before and was also trapped in Zhuangfu, but Liu Zheng didn't expect that this guy couldn't see any movement on weekdays, and he actually moved such a mind in private. After the matter spread in Zhuangfu, it also caused a commotion among everyone, and even Lu Zhi was quite surprised when he heard it.

It's just that the three brothers Lu Zhi and Liu Zheng are not good at participating, and they can't even hold a wedding banquet in the Zhuang Mansion that promoted this marriage, as the elder of the Xiahou family and the Cao family, Cao Ding discussed with Xun Shuang, who was inserted into the bar, and Gongsun Zhan, and decided to take the Xianzhang Street where Xun Shuang stayed as his mother's home.

Then they chattered about it, since everyone had something to stay, it didn't hurt to see you again one day, so they all said goodbye and left, and even Liu Bei was pulled away by Gongsun Zhan, saying that he was going to help repair the county government.

Not long after the peach orchard was deserted, a few people suddenly appeared in the back mountain, and Liu Zheng also looked upright and greeted Lu Zhi and Cai Yu.
