Chapter 235: Once Upon Present
"Yes, yes, the establishment of a government in Yizhou is indeed beneficial to my Han, but this time must be grasped well. It's too fast, it's not too slow...... Yihao, when are you going to take this official position? ”
Lu Ren straightened his mind and responded: "Although you can directly face the saint Gong, the right to grant any county guard is still in the hands of Duke Cao, right?" According to my calculations, if Cao Gong wants to attack Karasuma in the north, Xianbei is only afraid that it will be a matter of the next two years of the Ming Dynasty, and spread this matter to the world, in my opinion, it may as well be for a period of three years. ”
Xun Yu hesitated and said: "On the surface, I spread this matter three years later, but secretly I first gave you the seal ribbon of Yizhou County, so that your governance has a correct name?" ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "Don't, doing that will only be a bad thing, Xun Gong, you can't push me into the fire pit." ”
Xun Yu thought silently for a long time before nodding and said, "Yihao, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter of Yizhou Mansion for you, but you can't rush it." Tomorrow, I will repair the book and send it to Cao Gongchen, saying the pros and cons, and it will also save Fengxiao from eating enough, and if you have nothing to do, I really ask Cao Gong to confer an official position on you now. After Cao Gong replied to the letter, I will go to the Holy Lord to explain this matter, and I will grasp the time. Are you waiting in Xudu, or will you send someone in the future? ”
Lu Ren suddenly had a feeling that he had worked with Xun Yu in Shangshu Mansion before, and after rolling his eyes at Xun Yu, he smiled and said, "Xun Gong, do you think I dare to stay in Xudu for a long time?" You won't force me to stay, but it's hard for others to say. Now that the big thing can be done, of course I want to leave Xudu as soon as possible. ”
Xun Yu said: "Yes...... Yihao, how long has it been since we've sat down like this and discussed things? ”
Lu Ren calculated and replied, "More than five years." ”
Xun Yu said: "Your heart is in Yizhou now, it is useless to stay strongly, and the matter of Yizhou will help you in the future...... I want to ask, if the world is calm after more than ten years, you will not respond to the edict and return to the capital. You and I are in the same house again as before? ”
Lu Ren lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and sighed lightly: "I don't know, I may or may not come back." ”
Xun Yu said: "You, after all, it's you Lu Yihao." How can you plan for the future...... Ay. Now that we're done talking, let's talk about something light. This time in Yizhou, depending on the friendship between you and me, you can send a confidant to send a letter here, why do you want to run alone and run in person? ”
Lu Ren leaned back, lay on the floor behind the banquet and said with a smile: "Duke Xun, in the past, when I was a staff member under Duke Cao's account, only you and Lao Guo were my best friends, and you have worked with Duke Xun for many years, I don't know what kind of temper you have?" With Xun Gong's prudence. If I sent a letter to you, would you easily believe that it was mine?
"Not much else, I've been waiting in front of the door for so long, if I hadn't expected it, I would have almost never seen you, right? And how can it be clearly stated in this rough letter that it is not you and I who secretly state the benefits and disadvantages face to face, but I am afraid that I will not be able to convey my intentions. And if the letter is lost in the hands of someone else, wouldn't it be a big deal? ”
Xun Yu said: "Indeed. It is better for the general one or the person in charge to tell his own meaning...... Hmph, when I first saw your 5461. I thought you kid was thinking of my old boss and came back from overseas to see me. ”
Lu Ren laughed and said: "Xun Gong, you are not a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, why did I rush back to see you?" ”
Xun Yu pointed at Lu Ren and scolded with a smile: "You prodigal son." ”
The two laughed for a while, Xun Yu stopped his eyes on the small wooden box containing ambergris and said: "This ambergris is the tribute of Yizhou, and it is placed here for safekeeping, and then I will present it to the saint when the time is right?" ”
Lu Ren said: "That's how it should be...... Alas. Remember to make it clear that Yizhou is a poor place, and you can't get anything good. Just this half catty of ambergris cost me a lot of effort! ”
Xun Yu secretly scolded Lu Ren for opening his eyes and talking nonsense, but he opened the lid of the box a little, and the aroma that had been sealed suddenly came out, and the word rich could no longer be described. It was so intense that it was almost suffocating. Xun Yu hurriedly put the lid on the box, and then wrapped it in layers of waterproof animal skins like Lu Ren and threw it into the bucket, patted his chest and said, "What a powerful ambergris!" Yihao, these here seem to be much better than the ones you asked the rain girl to send last time? ”
Lu Ren nodded. Although the point brought by Zhao Yu that time was the same batch, it was not processed much. And after such a long period of time, after some processing, the strength of these in Lu Ren's hands is naturally much stronger than Zhao Yu's.
Xun Yu continued: "This ambergris incense, as a tribute, is already a treasure among many tributes. According to what you said, if you pay another pound of tribute every year, it is more than enough for Yizhou, which is a wild land in the eyes of others. Don't worry, I'll do it, and I won't burden Yizhou more. ”
Lu Ren said: "Then there is Lao Xungong." ”
Xun Yu put away the ambergris and said with a smile: "In addition to bringing this ambergris as a tribute to Yizhou, you didn't bring anything else to touch me?" I'm your old boss, and I'm tired of this big event, so I can't talk about it if I don't bother with it, right? ”
Lu Ren laughed and said, "Gong Xun, you are openly asking for a bribe from me, be careful that I report you." ”
The two laughed, and Lu Ren laughed as he took out something from the other side of the burden and said, "I won't forget Xun Gong, you." Oh, this is my newly brewed health medicinal wine, this is the 'Treasure Three Whips Wine'. There are also a few pearls and tortoiseshell armor here, which should be a little gift from me to Mrs. Xun. ”
Xun Yu said: "Your shot is really not small!" I drank a little bit of this medicinal wine from Fengxiao, and I felt that it was a good thing, but Fengxiao, the drunkard, was so stingy that he refused to pour me half a cup more, and this time I could drink a few glasses...... Hey, what's going on with the 'Treasure Three Whips Wine'? This 'whip' ......"
Lu Ren leaned into Xun Yu's ear and explained softly, Xun Yu quickly shook his head and said, "How can that thing be used to make wine?" Okay, okay, I only need medicine and wine, and the three whips of wine are all for Fengxiao to make up for my body. That kid doesn't seem to be in good health lately, so he just needs to make up for it. ”
When Lu Ren heard Xun Yu mention Guo Jia, he couldn't help but sigh: "Is it filial piety? It would be nice if Lao Guo was here, I really want to have a few more drinks with him as before......"
Xun Yu saw Lu Ren's sorrow on his face, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you two prodigal sons also have sentimental times?" When the lord returns from Yecheng, wouldn't it be the same for you to sneak to Xudu and meet Fengxiao again? I'm afraid that by that time, all the beautiful girls in Xudu City will be in calamity. ”
Lu Ren laughed: "That's what I said, but even at the beginning, who did I do in Xudu City?" ”
Xun Yu said: "If you really mess around, it's not romantic but lewd." ”
Lu Ren shook his head, took out another thing from his backpack and handed it to Xun Yu: "Ambergris and wine are serious gifts, I still have some small things here, Xun Yu may be able to use them for casual pastime in his spare time." ”
The so-called little things are a complete set of "Easy Sword Immortal Records" pirated by Lu Ren, which belongs to casual reading. Xun Yu took it and looked at it and said with a smile: "Isn't this the story of the Sword Immortal you made up?" Although it is often spread in Koto, you can occasionally hear people telling this story in restaurants and teahouses, and there are many people who are interested in the market. Even the Son of Heaven was quite interested after hearing about it occasionally, and he sent someone to Wu County to collect it, but unfortunately the collection was very messy. ”
Saying that, Xun Yu glanced at Lu Ren, and said with a little hesitation: "Yihao, it is rare for you to come to Xudu, do you want me to arrange for you to meet the Son of Heaven for the last time?" You must know that the Son of Heaven regarded you as a friend of cloth clothes at the beginning, and for many years, the Son of Heaven only had such a friend as you. Ever since you fled from Xudu, the Son of Heaven has often mentioned you in front of me. ”
As soon as Xun Yu mentioned this, Lu Ren also remembered the young man who often played basketball and bubble baths with him. And to be honest, Emperor Liu Xie has also helped Lu Ren several times, if you think about it carefully, Emperor Liu Xie did regard Lu Ren as a friend rather than a minister. Especially the matter of borrowing the ice cellar, Lu Ren still remembers it very clearly, and he is really a little grateful to Emperor Liu Xie.
But today's Lu Ren has already grown a lot, and he won't do stupid things as soon as his brain is hot, so Lu Ren just flashed this thought and then shook his head and said, "I still don't want it." I believe that Xun Yu, you must have a way to let me enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, but that is not as good as coming to see you now. Just if I see you, many things can be easily brought over, but if I meet the Son of Heaven, it is too easy to leak the news. Once something leaks, I won't have anything to do, but Xun Gong, you are not easy to explain in front of Cao Gong. ”
Lu Ren didn't say a word, that is, he really wanted to go to see Emperor Liu Xie, and if he turned around and let Cao Cao know, even Emperor Liu Xie would be in big trouble. After all, it is no longer the time of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's surveillance and prevention of Emperor Liu Xie...... Forget it, don't mention this kind of thing. If you really say it, Xun Yu's face may not look good, and some things will be known.
Xun Yu shook his head, looked at the "Easy Sword Immortal Record" handed over by Lu Ren, and sighed lightly: "What you said is also right. But fortunately, you sent this set of "Easy Sword Immortal Record", which can also be regarded as a gift from you to the Son of Heaven. ”
Lu Ren waved his hand and said, "You can just watch and do this to the Duke of Xun." Okay, it's done, I'm flashing! If I don't flash people, I can't hold back Xun Gong for a while, and I will really ask someone to arrest me. ”
Saying that, Lu Ren stood up, made a casual salute and walked towards the gate. Xun Yu rushed to Lu Ren's back and said, "I really want to keep you, but in order to revive the prestige of the Han, I have to let you go." Yihao, when you arrive in Yizhou, you must behave yourself, and you must not insult my prestige! In the future, Cao will determine the world, and your share is indispensable when he gives the knighthood. ”
"Knighted ......" (To be continued.) )
