Chapter Seventy-Three: The Study Asks the Right Questions (2)

Previous Chapter

In Liu's study, the master and the slave replaced the wine with tea, pushed the cup and asked the cup, and chatted about the next thing.

Liu Chang and Fan Li chatted about all the kings, and chatted about some recent events.

It turned out that in this day, it could be described as a storm, and the imperial court made a major adjustment. In addition to the previously mentioned Sun Jian, who was appointed as the Taishou of Changsha earlier than the original history, the appointment and dismissal of officials in other places also fluctuated a lot.

Among them, Liu Bei, who Liu Chang paid more attention to, broke away from the historical trajectory, although it was still a county order, but it was changed from Anxi County to Mangdang County.

According to the information obtained by Fan Li, Mangdang County was built because it relied on Mangdang Mountain, but in ancient times, there must be bandits when there are mountains. Therefore, there is a lot of bandits in Mangdang County, and there are not a few remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

"Hehe, it seems that my brother is busy!" When Liu Chang heard the message of his brother Liu Bei, he teased him a little and continued to discuss others with Fan Li.

After about half an hour of communication, Liu Chang found that Emperor Han Ling was giving away his official position this time. Except for some unknown people, those people that Liu Chang is familiar with have changed.

Dong Zhuo, although the crusade against the Yellow Turban is not good, but he is closer to the Ten Standing Attendants, and in addition, he is deeply loved because he has the same surname as the Empress Dowager Dong. For this reason, in this round of official releases, he got a Zuo Hu Ben Zhonglang general, Hanoi Taishou, and Guan Nei Hou.

Hiss~, this Dong Zhuo is hanging, although he has been reduced from the original Liangzhou Thorn History to Hanoi Taishou, but this Hanoi County is adjacent to Luoyang, and the status of this Taishou is much higher than that of the Liangzhou Thorn History. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were four major places of exile, namely Liaodong in Youzhou, Yanmen, Yangzhou and Liangzhou. It can be said that most of the governors in these four places are people who are not very popular with the emperor.

In addition, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were also promoted to the generals of Yulin Zhonglang because of their merits, and they still belonged to the General's Mansion. And Yuan Shao was unexpectedly sent to Bohai County as a taishou. Liu Changxin said: I am afraid this is the layout of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is gone, Jizhou is considered a weak master and a strong servant, and Liu Yu, the king of Wei, is a puppet.

Gongsun Zhan, a white horse general who made outstanding achievements in the Youzhou battlefield, was named the captain of Wuhuan and the Taishou of Beiping. Gained real power earlier than in history. In this way, it is not known whether Liu Yu, the king of Yan, who pursued a policy of Huairou, could live in peace with him.

Of course, these people are far away and have no intersection with Liu Chang for the time being, and the new Zhi Jinwu makes him not very calm.

When Fan Li talked about the new Zhi Jinwu, Liu Chang's face changed. Fan Li, who was honest and honest, did not notice Liu Chang's change.

Due to the negligence of the former executive Jinwu on Gyeonggi Taiping Road, **** Yi and others became bigger and almost caused a catastrophe, so they were dismissed. After the election of the ministers of the imperial court, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Ding Yuan will be promoted to this position.

Liu Chang knew that this Ding Yuan was not as loyal to the Han family as in the romance. After He Jin awarded Ding Yuan the Jinwu, he did not go to the post immediately, but coerced the military horses of the headquarters to move slowly, and when He Jin was killed and Kyoto was in chaos, he also rode as fast as Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately it was still one step late for Dong Zhuo and was blocked outside Luoyang City. In this way, there was the Ding Dong War and the subsequent Lu Bu defection.

Now Ding Yuan was awarded this position in advance, and he should not be extended in office. This Emperor Ling of Han is not the young emperor after him. Although Emperor Ling said that he was absurd, he was still able to balance the forces of all parties, and it can be said that he still had residual power. And this time he was crowned the king, which can be regarded as a masterpiece. Even Liu Chang felt a little incredible, so that after returning, he was puzzled, and an idea jumped out: Could it be that this goods has also been crossed?

Of course, Ding Yuan entered Beijing ahead of schedule, this matter is actually nothing, the only thing that Liu Chang cares about is Ding Yuan's righteous son, the first fierce general in the history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, known as the "flying general" Lu Bu.

silently calculated the generals under his command, Li Cunxiao, the only one who can compete with Lu Bu, is still young, and the weak crown has not yet arrived, although he has already shown inhuman strength, but it seems too early to fight against the adult Lu Bu; followed by Dian Wei, although the two did not go head-to-head, but Xu Chu, who was as famous as him, had fought with Lu Bu, judging from the short confrontation, Lu Bu couldn't help Xu Chu, which means that Dian Wei, who was better than Xu Chu, could at least retreat with his whole body against Lu Bu. In addition to these two people, the ones left who have the strength to fight are Qin Qiong and Li Siye in full firepower, as for Li Siyuan and Cheng Yanjin, there is a gap between Li Siyuan and Cheng Yanjin, and Shi Lang is even less worth mentioning.

"If you come, you will be safe! Regardless of him Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they will see the moves. Liu Chang sighed silently and continued to listen to Fan Li's report.

After listening to Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zhan, Ding Yuan, these heroes, what made Liu Chang a little interested was that Xun You was recruited as a squire, Lu Zhi was released and merged with the state as a assassin history, Huangfu Song was named the left chariot cavalry general, Zhu Jun was awarded the hussar general, as for the assassin history in Liangzhou, Jiaozhou, Yongzhou and other places are all dance and ink tricksters, there is no need to worry, Liu Chang is not interested in remembering them.

After Fan Li finished speaking, the room was silent, and both the master and the slave fell into deep thought.

......The silence of the room was broken by a soft knock on the door, and the gentle knock on the door was clearly the work of a woman.

Liu Chang held his chin in his hand, prostrate on the bookcase, and said lazily: "Come in!" ”

With the sound of a soft push on the door, a shadow flew in.

The embroidered plain Luo skirt, with the complexion of mutton fat jade, the delicate figure, and the wooden food box carved with vermilion lacquer in her hand, looked extremely simple and green under the sunlight, breaking through the dull and mysterious atmosphere in the study.

"Miss Xiu'er!" Fan Li is the housekeeper of Liu Chang's mansion, but he still respects Diao Xiu'er, who may become the housewife in the future, and immediately bows to him.

"Hey, why are you here?" Fan Li was quite surprised when he saw another person coming in behind Diao Xiu'er.

"Well," Liu Chang also looked up at the door, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a lotus skirt followed Xiu'er in, and at the same time carried a larger food box in her hand.

Obviously, in the entire Liu Mansion now, in addition to Diao Xiu'er, who is in the development period, there is Fan Li's fiancΓ©e, Shi Yiguang.

"I asked Sister Shi to come along, the two of you, I can't take it alone!" Xiu'er knew that Liu Chang's previous order only allowed her to enter and exit freely, so she looked at Liu Chang with some embarrassment, and by the way, she lifted the food box in her hand and placed it on the table, muttering and explaining.

When Liu Chang saw it, he shook his head slightly, laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" By the way, she softened her hair, and the smoothness of her hand made him a little dazed.

Seeing Liu Chang say this, Shi Yiguang moved the lotus step lightly, put down the food box next to Xiu'er, and then Yingying saluted: "Meet the king!" ”

"Forehead ......" Liu Chang, who was thinking about the right and wrong, heard this, his whole body was slumped, and he looked at Fan Li with a complicated expression, only to see that this thing was looking at his nose and nose as if nothing had happened, thinking that Fan Li had told his lover about being crowned a prince.

In their previous lives, they could dedicate themselves to their families and countries and ideals, and they must be people who have the world in mind, and this life is naturally the same.

Thinking of this, Liu Chang said softly: "There is no need for a lot of red tape in the house, get up!" ”

When Xi Shi got up, Liu Chang suddenly noticed that a pair of eyes were staring at him. Turning her head to look, it turned out that Diao Xiu'er was looking at herself with big eyes, and she seemed to be a little flustered.

"Ahem!" Liu Chang coughed lightly and handed the edict to her.

The smart Diao Xiuer read the edict in a blink of an eye, and immediately returned it to him respectfully. For a while, it seemed a little restrained.

Liu Chang sighed helplessly, and said softly: "Xiu'er, no matter whether I, Liu Chang, am a commoner or a prince, I am still me, and I will never break my word about what I once said." ”

The words fell and the beauty smiled, and in an instant, the study was full of warm flavor.

Later, Liu Chang left Diao Xiuer and Xi Shi to dine with Fan Li.

When Liu Chang opened the food box and tasted a bite of vinegar fish with full color and flavor, he couldn't help but praise: "This is really delicious!" ”

In an instant, he frowned again, looked at Xi Shi with a little confusion and said, "This is a sea bass?" ”

Shih Tzu nodded in confirmation. This made Liu Chang feel puzzled, as far as he knew, this sea bass was only found in Jiangdong, specifically the sea bass was more common in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in later generations, and it was rare in other places. Not to mention the places north of the Yangtze River. And this sea bass is also an excellent ingredient for making vinegar fish, and it can be said that sea bass has made the famous dish of vinegar fish in West Lake. And now Liu Chang is in Luoyang, thousands of miles away from Jiangdong Road, and there is no Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal at this time, not to mention that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just subsided, and the trade routes are not fully opened, where did this Xi Shi find the perch?

As if knowing Liu Chang's doubts, Fan Li on the side said out loud: "This perch was obtained by accident when I was fishing in Jiangdong, and later Ah Guang saw that it was special and kept it in the treasure boat, so he went to Beijing with us. I didn't think that Ah Guang was willing to cook it this time. ”

"Oops!" I heard that this was raised by Fan Li fishing Xi Shi, which made Liu Chang a little difficult, and it was difficult to put down chopsticks for a while, "How is this good?" ”

"Hehe......" Seeing Liu Chang's embarrassment, Xi Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't make it difficult for the head of the family, this fish is quite common in Jiangdong, and Fan Lang can be taught to buy it back from Jiangdong in the future." ”

"Hey! Buy it back? Liu Chang glanced at the fish on the plate, sighed and said, "Now that the chaos has just ended, the trade route has not passed, and the general trend of the world is confusing, I can eat this fish today, I don't know if I can eat it often in the future!" ”

"Haha! Why should the head of the house be so worried! Fan Li on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this, took a bite of fish, and chewed a few bites.

When Liu Chang saw this, he suddenly blessed his heart, stopped his chopsticks and smiled and asked, "I don't know what Tao Zhu Xiandi has to say?" ”

However, Fan Li did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Has Your Majesty ever taken back the power of the head of the family?" ”

After thinking for a while, he found that the edict only sealed his position as King Jing and the lieutenant general of the left army, but did not mention the military power, and even Liu Chang found that the edict clearly stated that the other kings were shepherds and guarded the Quartet on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so that he had the power to open a government and build a government to raise soldiers, and although he was not explicitly stated, he was equal to the kings, so he also had the right to build a government. As long as you have military power, what else is there to fear.

Thinking of this, he picked up the chopsticks again and ate a large piece.
