The morning sun rises, and the sun shines brightly, shining on the land of Sanqin. The whole book

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in this bright sunshine, Chang'an also ushered in the first imperial examination since the Han Dynasty.

This day is destined to be recorded in the history books. Early in the morning, the people who were frightened by the sound of killing all night and couldn't sleep, carefully opened the door.

I saw that on the long street, the blood stains had been washed away by the Yulin army, but in some hidden corners, a trace of clues could still be seen. Other than that, nothing seems to be happening. Just after the hour, the scholars who had been informed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites that the imperial examination would still be held normally flocked to the Tribute Academy. It's not clear what happened last night, but who cares?

The fact that the imperial examinations were held normally is enough to explain everything.

The Dong family is still there, and they are still the real masters of this Chang'an City. Many scholars passing by in front of the Liangwang Mansion were not careful.

Cao Pi Xunshi, as well as Xiahou Ba, the three of them followed the crowd of scholars and walked towards the Gongyuan.

Along the way, all three were silent. Everything that happened in Chang'an, even the changes in the battle situation in the Kanto region, the three of them knew it well.

"Second son, are we really going to participate in this imperial examination?"

Xiahou Ba followed Cao Pi's side. On the surface, Cao Pi is his scholar, but in fact, Xiahou Ba is responsible for Cao Pi's bodyguard. Gongyuan, just on the other side of the Yinma River, the black background of the gold characters, shining in the sun, can be seen from afar.

Cao Pi's heart was extremely bitter.

Xun Shi glanced at Xiahou Ba, "At this time, do we still have a choice?" I'm sure. The identities of the three of us have been revealed. Although I don't know what King Liang is planning in his heart. But as soon as we make the slightest move now, the head will fall to the ground immediately. ”

"King Liang, King Liang...... You're a good call. ”

Xiahou Ba was weird, "Xun Shi, are you moved and want to take refuge in Dong?" Hmph, your eyesight is getting really fast. ”

Xun Shi glanced at it and sneered.

"If the green mountains are there, there will be firewood. It doesn't matter who you turn to. What matters is how you can live. Don't you have the guts? Then go and kill Dong, why do you need to participate in the scientific examination? If you want to be a hero, just go by yourself, don't burden me and the second son. ”

"Xun Shi, you ......"

"Xiahou, don't talk about it!" The three of them had already walked on the bridge leading to the Gongyuan land, and Cao Pi suddenly drank, "Xun Shi is right. What we need now is to be able to preserve ourselves. Let's not talk about the situation in Kanto...... My father sent us here with the idea of planning ahead. Once defeated, if you and my family want to survive, it will depend on your ability.

Xiahou, from now on, you and I will forget what our fathers have done.

We are now the sons of the country, the sons of the country who participated in the Chang'an imperial examination. If it works......"

Cao Pi didn't go any further. But he believed that Xiahou Ba could understand. At this time, Xuchang was captured, including the news of Xiahou Yuandi's death, which had not yet reached Chang'an. Oh, even if it reaches Chang'an, it won't spread out until the imperial examination is over.

Cao Pi stepped off the bridge and saluted the soldiers guarding the road to the gate of the Gongyuan.

"This big brother, let me inquire...... Last night. What's going on? ”

The soldier glanced at Cao Pi coldly, "If you want to live and seek fame, you should put your mind on the scientific examination, don't ask indiscriminately." ”

"Ahh The kid is reckless. Thank you big brother for the reminder! ”

Cao Pi retreated and walked with Xun Shi and others. He lowered his voice and said, "Let's go, Chang'an City will be surnamed Dong from now on!" ”

Xun Shi Xiahou Ba glanced at each other and nodded.

Everything is the same in Chang'an.

Nothing seems to have happened except for the heavily guarded Gongyuan and the addition of some Yulin soldiers patrolling the streets.

The twelve doors are open, and the inventory is not too strict.

A carriage came from afar, and the man driving on the wheel was an old man about seventy years old, with a white beard. The bronze countenance, with the vicissitudes of time. However, his complexion did not seem to be very good, and from time to time he put his hand to his mouth and coughed gently.

"Stop!"

A doorman stopped the carriage, looked at the carriage with the curtain lower, and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?" Where to go? Who was in the car? ”

"Ah, Master Jun!"

The old man got out of the car and coughed violently, causing him to frown.

When the old man approached him, the face of the doorman suddenly changed, and the long knife was raised to his chest, "What are you doing, don't lean over." ”

He was afraid that the old man was sick.

Typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other diseases are as terrible as AIDS and cancer in later generations. The old man was very burly, but his complexion was really bad. Coupled with his incessant coughing, the doorman was really a little scared, and he unconsciously mentioned caution.

But at this moment, the old man's wrist flipped over, and a gold token appeared in his palm.

"You are ......"

"Under the command of the captain of the inspection academy, on the orders of the prince, he has something to do to go out of the city on business."

The Inspectorate, with Dong Ji gradually coming to the stage, has become known to people. According to the order of the Inspectorate, there are many grades.

Among them, the upper three are marked by gold, silver and copper three-color tokens.

Bronze token, named Sima; Silver tokens, named Chiefs; The holder of the gold token has the most noble status, ranking more than the captain, the name of a hundred households, and can directly order soldiers and horses above the county. However, these hundred households are known to the outside world as a captain, and they are already known to people.

A hundred households, like a chincha. The doorman was startled, and hurriedly put away the long knife, wanting to salute, but was stopped by the old man.

"Things are urgent, we need to get out of town immediately. Please keep quiet...... If the news leaks and delays things, do you understand? ”

"The villain understands. Got it! ”

Menber immediately agreed. Waving his hand to signal the doorman to let him go.

The old man got into the car and drove out on horseback. After leaving the city, the carriage went on the official road. The old man asked through the curtain of the car, "Your Majesty, where are we going?" ”

"Teacher Tong, we ...... Let's go west. ”

"Understood!"

The old man is like a rein, and he calls out in his mouth. The carriage galloped on the official road, running for more than an hour, and the horses pulling the carriage were sweaty and a little tired. Chang'an has been left behind. There is a grove ahead. The old man drove the carriage and turned in.

The curtain was lifted, and a person stepped out of the car.

The face is clear and beautiful, but between the eyebrows, there is a sense of luxury...... It was Liu Bian, who had been buried in the fire.

The old man is Tong Yuan.

Tong Yuan helped Liu Wei get out of the car, and then pulled out a person from the carriage. He rebuked angrily: "Gelding, come down for me!" ”

The man was tied with ropes and a black cloth was stuffed in his mouth. At this moment, Liu Wei had already changed into civilian clothes, frowned on the side, showed an unbearable look, and said softly: "Master Tong, don't do this...... If it weren't for Yang Qian, how could you and I get out of the city? ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to untie Yang Qian. and took off the black cloth from his mouth.

Tong Yuan said: "This gelding colluded with Dong Thief and plotted to kill the emperor. Do you still do this to him? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him. ”

Liu Wei smiled and stood up straight.

"Don't say it again, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Dong Qing. Dong Qing...... No, Brother Dong regards me as a brother, if it weren't for him, how could I have re-ascended the throne? If he wanted to hurt me, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Actually, this thing ...... Alas. It's inevitable. Master Tong, you are not in the position of Brother Dong and me, and you can't feel the pressure in the middle, and it is very painful.

Brother Dong said that after the end of the Kwantung War. He will turn back to the Western Regions. Never leave Hexi.

He was telling the truth......

But just because he's willing to do so doesn't mean those who follow him will. As long as Brother Dong is out of Chang'an. The fate of those people, even the fate of Brother Dong's family, will no longer be in his hands. I think Dong Ji must be unwilling.

Compare my heart to my heart, if I were a little nephew, I am afraid that I would not agree. ”

When Tong Yuan heard Liu Wei say this, he couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again, "Your Majesty, Dong Thief has harmed you to this point, and you still speak for him?" ”

Liu Wei said softly: "Master Tong, what I said is the truth...... And, stop calling me emperor. Since Tu Cheng imprisoned us, I am no longer the emperor. Actually, I'm very grateful to Tu Cheng. He let me know that the so-called true destiny is nothing more than a void in the end. ”

After speaking, Liu Wei turned around, looked at Yang Qian and said, "Yang Qian, you can go." ”

"The Emperor...... Master...... You can't let the gelding go. If he goes back and tells Dong Ji about your whereabouts, you and I will be very dangerous. ”

Liu Wei said: "If it weren't for Yang Qian, we wouldn't have discovered the secret passage in the Buddha hall; If it weren't for Yang Qian, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the city smoothly; If it weren't for Yang Qian, we might have gone back to the palace, and the result would be ...... Master Tong, I believe that Yang Qian will never betray me. ”

Yang Qian raised his head, "Your Majesty ......"

"Alright, I'll get up. Didn't I say that I am no longer the emperor! ”

Tong Yuan said: "Master, where are you going next?" ”

Liu Wei smiled, that smile was very bright, without the slightest falsehood, "Actually, I don't like to be the emperor." Intrigue all day long, worrying. Either I'm afraid that this person wants to take my throne, or I'm afraid that that person will harm me. Being the emperor is very boring...... After becoming the emperor, Dong Qing and I slowly drifted apart, and Xiahou ...... also became a victim because of this battle for the throne.

Last night, I sat in the Buddha hall and thought...... If I weren't the emperor, Xiahou wouldn't die, and Dong Qing wouldn't alienate me.

Teacher Tong, Dong Qing and I have known each other since Zhongping for two years, and we have known each other for 20 years.

In my heart, Dong Qing is like my brother. I also believe that in Dong Qing's heart, I am like his brother. Since ancient times, for the sake of the throne, father and son have become enemies, and husbands and wives have turned against each other. After the Battle of Luoyang, Dong Qing and I became separated, and at that time...... I'm so sad about this.

Now, it's all over! ”

Liu Wei said, opening his arms and taking a deep breath of fresh air.

"Contemplation of the Bodhisattva. When doing deep Prajnaparamita. See that the aggregates are empty. Survive all suffering.

…… The color is not different from the emptiness. Empty and not discolored. Color is emptiness. Emptiness is color. Knowing what to do. The same is true...... It is the voidness of all laws. Immortal and immortal. Not dirty, not clean. Neither increase nor decrease......

Child teacher. All the misery of the world. It all comes from the heart of man.

I want to go to Tianzhu to learn the supreme Dharma and get in touch with the suffering of the world...... Tucheng's Buddha, I only know now, is not a real Buddha! ”

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he took a package from Tong Yuan and handed it to Yang Qian.

"Yang Qian, go back and give this to Dong Ji."

"The Emperor...... Never. This heirloom jade seal cannot be held by the Son of Heaven. Are you going to take this country? For the Dong family?

Don't forget, the prince is still here. ”

A touch of pain flashed in Liu Weidi's eyes.

He closed his eyes, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Master Tong, even if there is no jade seal, can you prevent that incident from happening?" Han Dynasty, since Dong Taishi. It's over!

In fact, you and I are well aware of this. If it weren't for Brother Dong, now only the Han family of Xuchang would be left, not the Han family of Chang'an.

Over the years, Guanzhong has been under great control. However, that is not my credit, it is the hard work of Brother Dong......

Bowei is different from Brother Dong, he is ruthless, and he is stronger than me and Brother Dong. The same will ascend to the throne, but it will not last. Brother Dong is here. Tongshang can be preserved; If Brother Dong is gone, the Liu clan will inevitably face annihilation.

I gave this jade seal to Bowei today, in fact, I wanted to tell him...... I can give it to him, but please be merciful to his subordinates.

Bowe is a smart kid, he should know what I mean. If this can't save the lives of the same place, then I can only say that my Liu family should perish. This is providence, and it is by no means something that can be decided by a piece of jade, do you understand? ”

When Tong Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't know. What Liu Bian said is the truth?

It's just that in his heart, he can't accept it after all. has been loyal to the Han family all his life, but he didn't expect to watch the Han family perish.

Tong Yuan's mouth opened, but he didn't say anything more.

Who knows, Yang Qian suddenly spoke. "The hosts. You can't give this jade seal right now. ”

"Why?"

"Sooner or later, Dong Ji will find out the mechanism of the secret passage of the Buddha Hall. Think of ordinary people. The master escaped but didn't appear, so he must have gone to Kanto. In this way, Dong Ji's attention will be on the southeast line, and ignore the northwest checkpoint. But if the old slave brings the jade seal back now, Dong Ji will be able to know your whereabouts, master......

You are right, the prince of Liang Wang is different from Liang Wang, he is ruthless, and he will never let you go.

Therefore, this jade seal cannot be given to him. If you want to send it, leave it to the Ryo-oh. Moreover, you must enter the Western Regions before you can make a move.

Although the old slave has taken refuge in King Liang, he has been deeply loved by the emperor for so many years, and he will never harm you.

I went with my master, and when I arrived in the Western Regions, I could transfer this item to King Liang through Li Hou. I believe that King Liang will definitely see the mystery inside. Only in this way can the crown prince be saved. Otherwise, your hard work will be in vain. ”

No matter what Tong Yuan thinks of Yang Qian, at this time, I have to say that Yang Qian's words are very reasonable.

"Master, what Yang Qian said is extremely ......"

"You...... Do you really want to go to Tianzhu with me? Liu Wei looked at Yang Qian suspiciously, "Yang Qian, I heard that it is 108,000 miles away to go to Tianzhu. There are many dangers on the way, and you are willing to give up the glory and wealth of the land you are about to gain and go to Tianzhu with me? ”

Yang Qian nodded, "When the master was developed, the old slave failed to fulfill his duties; Now the owner ...... The old slave is willing to hand over the remnants of his life to his master. ”

"And me!"

Tong Yuan said: "If the master does not dislike my old age and frailty, I also want to go west to Tianzhu to appreciate the mystery of the true Buddha." ”

Liu Wei was speechless for a long time, and only said: "You guys...... Why bother? ”

After completing the exam, the sons and apprentices walked out of the tribute courtyard in twos and threes. Familiarize themselves with each other and talk about their experiences in the exam. If you feel good, call your friends and seek to get drunk in the wine shop.

And Cao Pi and the three of them walked on the street together.

"Second son, let's have a drink." Xiahou Ba couldn't help but speak.

Cao Pi shook his head, "Xiahou, you can go by yourself." I'm not in the mood right now...... When I went out just now, I heard a country say that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses had broken through to Yingchuan, occupied Yang Zhai and Wei's clan, and surrounded Xuchang. Now, I really want to go back to Xuchang. ”

Presumably, that son of the country is the family of an official in Chang'an.

When Xiahou Ba and Xun Shi heard this, they were taken aback, "How is it possible, didn't you say that the uncle of the Cao family blocked the Xuzhou army in Linying?" ”

Cao Pi grimaced, "That was a long time ago." On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing, so many days have passed, and God knows what happened? As I said before, Uncle Cao can be the lord of a county, but he must not be in charge of the overall situation. If I were the uncle of the Cao family, when Lu Wenhou sent troops to Runan, I would definitely storm and conquer Qiang, at least I could push the front into Runan.

It's a pity that the uncle of the Cao family ......

Missed opportunity, missed opportunity! ”

Xiahou Ba and the others were silent.

Cao Pi can say this about Cao Ren, but the two of them cannot.

Xiahou Ba thought for a while, "Today, there are many classmates drinking in the Invitation Moon Tower, and they invite us to go together." Why don't we go to the Yueyue Tower and inquire? ”

Cao Pi shook his head, "You have to go by yourself, I want to go back to my residence, maybe my father will send someone to contact us." ”

Xun Shi also said: "Yes, I took the exam for a day today, and it was really hard." I'll accompany the second son back, so I'll bother Xiahou to inquire. ”

"That'...... All right! ”

Xiahou Ba and Cao Pi broke up and went to the Yueyue Tower for a banquet.

Cao Pixun Shi walked slowly and leisurely. They lived in the southwest corner of Chang'an, and when they saw that they were about to arrive, they saw that there were many sergeants guarding the residence. Looking at the costume, it is not the same as the forbidden army and the Yulin army. But its equipment is not weaker than the regular

Cao Pi couldn't help but gasp.

He and Xun Shi glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: Is the Dong family going to attack us?

"Second son, let's go ......"

Cao Pixunshi turned his head and wanted to leave, but he had just walked a few steps, but he was stopped by someone. Twenty smashers appeared in their back road.

At the head was a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Where are you going? How do you pass through the door without entering...... Hehe, do you want to emulate Dayu's water control? ”

"You ......"

The young man smiled, "In the next week, there is no doubt that it will be the governor of the prince of Liangwang." Today, on the orders of the son, please tell the two sons. The prince is now in the home of the two sons, and he asked the two sons to work hard. Shizi has been waiting for a long time, and I'm afraid he will be a little impatient. ”

Cao Pi and Xun Shi looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

What should come is always coming!

"Then bother Mr. Zhou, lead the way ...... ahead"

Cao Pi took a deep breath and puffed up his chest. Even if Dong Ji will be killed in the next moment, but at this moment, I represent my father!
