Chapter 23: Pull the prince into the gang
Although Shi Xian is only a Zhongshu order, he stays with Liu Zheng almost every day, and in Liu Zheng's opinion, Shi Xian is his most loyal eunuch, so his status is even more powerful than that of the third duke.
Some time ago, Liu Biao was taught by Shi Dan not to get involved with Shi Xian and others, Liu Biao naturally listened to the teacher's words and did not associate with Shi Xian.
But now Liu Yu is Lu Yu, when he negotiated with Shi Xian for the first time in the palace, to be honest, Lu Yu felt that Shi Xian was a very good person, this may be a traitorous Ruozhong.
When the two of Wulu Chongzong were drinking tea, Liu Biao also came to Shi Xian's mansion from the palace in a sedan chair.
There are rockery streams in the courtyard, and these streams are artificially mined, living in the downtown area, as if in the suburbs of the mountain village, the east gate is as big as a place, it seems that there is only Shi Xian's family, next to it is the mansion of Wulu Chongzong.
Wulu Chongzong is also a Confucian student, although he is in the company of eunuchs, but he is still relatively low-key, and his mansion is only a quarter of Shi Xian.
As soon as Shi Xian's teacup was put down, Liu Biao bypassed the rockery, crossed the wooden bridge, and came to the living room, Shi Xian hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "The prince has worked hard, the old minister thinks you won't come." ”
"How is that possible, what is our relationship, the future auxiliary minister of the court, just like my teacher, how can there be any teacher in the world who goes against his teacher's wishes, that is unfilial piety, I Liu Biao naturally can't tolerate it!" Shi Xian's heart was full of joy when Liu Biao said this.
The prison beam couldn't help but be stunned in the back, the prince's kung fu was really powerful, even if he was allowed to study for another two or three years, he would be out of reach.
"Prince, please inside, although we are in the capital, there is no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there are too many things sent by counties and counties to eat." Shi Xian's words were quite proud.
"The world is so rich, the Zhongshu Ling is indispensable, the current father is addicted to wine, the prime minister is old, and many affairs are handled by the Zhongshu Ling, which is really hard." Liu Biao said worriedly.
Wulu Chongzong drank the warm tea in his hand, and immediately waved his hand and said: "If you have anything to say, let's go in and say, what time will be delayed here, and the meals inside are all good." ”
"What Shang Shuling said is that the prince is invited." Shi Xian said with a smile, and several people entered the living room in order, Liu Biao is the prince, and it is natural that he should be in the first place.
Liu Biao looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of him, and was greatly surprised in his heart, even in today's society, he has never seen such a luxurious feast, of course, it may also be the reason why Lu Yu is very poor in contemporary times.
Next to the place is wine, the back of the tea needless to say, although I don't know what brand, but after drinking, refreshing, very refreshing.
"Lord Zhongshuling, it's noon at this time, and the food is almost done, I don't know if I want to come today, what's the matter? Wouldn't it just be for a meal? Liu Biao touched his mouth and said.
Shi Xian glanced at Wulu Chongzong next to him, "Shang Shuling, don't eat it, if this thing is delicious, I'll let you send it to your house when I go back, I didn't eat anything in the morning." ”
"That's not it, I drank two cups of tea in the morning, and I have a bad stomach, so I can only eat some good ones, so I'm a little rude." Wulu Chongzong looked at Shi Xian's eyes and said, silently putting down the chopsticks in his hand.
The prison beam didn't dare to move, Shi Xian moved the chopsticks, Shi Xian stopped, he immediately straightened his body, and didn't dare to have the slightest deviation, this may be the benefit of the right.
Wulu Chongzong straightened his clothes, and then said slowly: "Actually, there is nothing important to call the prince today, didn't two major events happen a few days ago?" ”
"First of all, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River flooded, the county flooded hundreds of thousands of households, which can be described as a natural disaster, Your Majesty is in a heavy mood, and transported 100,000 stone of grain from all over the country for emergency, but if you think about it carefully, those refugees can eat enough, no matter what is good or bad, so Master Shi Xian is thinking about using these grains to exchange for some old grain or coarse grain, so that you can have more tens of thousands of stones, isn't it better than sending them directly."
"Recently, Lord Shixian has indeed gotten news from rich businessmen, they all have old grain, and they can't eat it all, this Shihuang grain can be exchanged for two stone old grain or more coarse grain."
"When the time comes, wouldn't it be for the country to transport these coarse grains to relieve the country's worries, but there is one thing that the prince may not know, Master Shi Xian has great prestige, and most rich people feel that Shi Xian is not short of food, so if he doesn't change it, even if he uses the law."
"We have no choice, I want to ask the prince to come forward, talk to these rich people clearly, let them exchange for food, and how about we give fifty percent of the grain in the middle to the prince?" Wulu Chongzong said slowly.
Liu Biao heard it, how could Shi Xian's official authority not be exchanged for food, and the reason why he did this was very simple, that is, to let Liu Biao come forward.
This means that Liu Biao is linked to this matter, and when the ministers of the court and the central government participate in a book, they can be safe and sound under the protection of the prince.
If Emperor Yuan Liu Zheng asked, Shi Xian could vouch for the crown prince, and Wulu Chongzong would say something good, and this matter could be prevaricated, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone, and he also tied himself and the prince to a rope.
Liu Biao couldn't see their careful thoughts, nodded slightly and quipped: "I said that the master, the abacus of the emperor's grain is very good, and those victims can eat anything, which is not bad, or I tell my father about this idea, wouldn't it be tens of thousands of stones of grain." ”
After hearing this, Shi Xian hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't don't, the starting point of exchanging refined grain for coarse grain is good, but his reputation is not good, so it's better not to tell Your Majesty." ”
"Yes, yes, don't worry, don't worry, I'll tell you about the second one, the recent hidden dangers in the frontier are serious, and the Han family has to offer treasures to the Xiongnu, if the prince does the first thing, we can take out a little bit of these offerings and give it to the prince, what do you think?" Wulu Chongzong said in a low voice.
Liu Biao took a sip of wine, "How much is a little bit of wine?" ”
"How can I say that I am also the prince, in order to let me help you do something, you will send me with the treasures of the Huns, what if the Huns see that the wealth is less, and in turn beat us?" Liu Biao said unhappily.
"The Huns will not fight, the strength of the two sides is slightly estimated, our feeling is that the Huns may be stronger, if they really fight, we don't know who loses and who wins, so they don't count those property, it's just for fame." The prison beam hurriedly added in the back.
"That's what it means, for the sake of peace, in order not to waste money and money, we Han didn't send troops." Wulu Chongzong put on a Confucian shelf and said.
Liu Biao was beside him, his brows furrowed slightly, and it was really a difficult problem to agree or not.
