The moonlight was bright, and along the lake of the Dragon Garden, Liu Bian's pace was slow and melodious. Under the moonlight, he looked extraordinarily elegant, dressed in white, like a bright moon and a breeze.

In such a quiet night, Liu Wei walked alone in it, and the turmoil in his heart for several days was dispelled by the ethereal atmosphere around him.

The footsteps of a yellow door broke Liu Bian's short silence from far to near, Liu Biao stopped and sighed, his troubles never go away, they will always come back.

Huang Men came to the front and knelt on the ground, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, Jia Changshi has arrived at Zhutao Yashe. ”

Liu Wei nodded slightly. "Bring him here."

"Whoa!"

After the Yellow Gate left, Liu Wei stopped on the shore and looked at the lake, the lake was like a mirror, and the moonlight sprinkled on it reflected a sparkling wave.

The palace people stood aside with the wine jug, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the wine jug, his eyes were melancholy and profound, although he understood that the Son of Heaven was not looking at her, but Liu Bian's blurred gaze still made her blush and lowered her head, not daring to look up at Liu Wei.

How can we solve our worries, only Du Kang? This poem appeared inexplicably in Liu Wei's mind, reached out and took the wine jug, and drank it directly without a wine glass.

After the first sip, Liu Wei frowned, it was tea. Then he smiled bitterly, and the only one in the world who dared to change his wine into tea was Queen Tang.

Empress Tang's advice is always so silent and gentle, in fact, Liu Wei thinks that he is not a person who uses alcohol to escape problems, and he will solve things when they come out, which is his creed in life.

In his previous life, his parents died on the same day, when he was only fifteen years old, and it felt like the sky was falling to him. But when he gritted his teeth and survived that time, he looked back and felt that there was nothing but a faint sadness.

Similarly, when he just heard the news of Lu Bu's betrayal, it was still a big blow to Liu Wei. After all, he put a lot of effort into Lu Bu's body, and the purpose was to change the fate of Lu Bu's betrayal, so that he could be used by the imperial court. However, in the end, it failed, and Lu Bu's double-edged sword finally injured himself.

It wasn't until the news of Ding Yuan's killing came that Liu Wei finally bred a sense of despair with an irreversible fate in his heart.

During this period of time, Liu Wei was indeed depressed. Bad news kept coming, Yuan Shao and Lu Bu together supported Liu Yu's son Liu He as emperor, and announced to the world that he was the successor of Jiao Zhao, calling on the world's heroes to crusade against him. Yuan Shu in the south responded positively to Yuan Shao's call at first, but as soon as he saw Yuan Shao supporting Liu He as emperor, he shrank back again, obviously having his own plans in his heart.

Sun Jian, who was besieging Xuchang, was transferred back by Yuan Shu because of the attack on Shouchun by Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan. Sun Jian, who originally wanted to compete with the world's famous general Lu Zhi, returned in a huff, but his son Sun Ce, who was in charge of the broken queen, fought fiercely with Lu Zhi's pioneer Zhang Xiu in the Ruyang area for three days, and then retreated under the attack of Pan Feng and Hu Zhen who rushed over.

Pan Feng replaced Zhang Zhang, who died in battle, as the captain of the Tun Cavalry after the Luoyang Palace Incident, and Wu Kuang, the lieutenant general of the Northern Army, was transferred to the rank of Diannong Zhonglang General because of his ineffective command in the palace incident, and was responsible for the Tuntian affairs in Si Lizhou, which was actually idle. The lieutenant general of the Northern Army was succeeded by Guan Yu.

After Sun Jiandong retreated, Lu Zhi was old and did not force too much. On the one hand, he slowly advanced, and on the other hand, he contacted Liu Xuan, intending to find an opportunity to exert force on both sides at the same time to attack Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shao promoted Liu He as emperor, he would not have any military action with the imperial court for the time being until he and Gongsun Zhan decided the victory. As for his edict to crusade against the puppet emperor, although no other princes have publicly responded to it yet, people like Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian have more or less been in contact with Yuan Shao, obviously wanting to watch the fire from across the strait and see if the situation is going to take action.

If the situation is surging today, and there seems to be a situation that is out of control, Liu Wei is inevitably a little depressed in his heart, he has already quit drinking, he picked up the cup again, Queen Tang saw the pain in her eyes, and it was always appropriate to advise.

Although he was depressed, Liu Wei was not depressed and decadent. As time went on, after the initial blow, Liu also began to face up to the problem.

Huangmen led Jia Xu to the front, and Jia Xu saluted: "Your Majesty." ”

"Wen He doesn't need to be polite."

"What does Your Majesty have to call your ministers to?" Jia Xu asked.

"Is there any new information coming from the state?"

"The unified investigation agency of the state is now seriously damaged, and the transmission of information is not very accurate and timely, but according to the minister's speculation, Lu Bu is extremely ambitious, and he is not as worried as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and it is very likely that he will go south after the whole state is merged." Jia Xu replied.

Liu Wei nodded noncommittally. beckoned Jia Xu to stand side by side with him, looking at the quiet lake together.

Jia Xu knew that Liu Wei was depressed in his heart, so he stood silently with Liu Wei for a while. Liu Wei picked up a stone from the ground and hit it the surface of the lake.

The stone sank after only one float on the surface of the lake, Liu Wei pursed his lips and muttered: "Zilong can hit more than ten!" ”

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, it is enough to have the ability to control the tiger, why do you need to have sharp teeth and claws?" Jia Xu said on the side.

Liu Wei smiled faintly. He doesn't really care about these things, but he's just depressed and always complains.

Then Liu Wei asked again: "Is there any news from Yun Lei?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and replied, "The last news from Bingzhou is that Yun Lei seems to be leading the army eastward into Jizhou. The minister has ordered the Jizhou Coordination Agency to investigate, but no news has come so far. ”

Liu Wei sighed and said, "In the land of tigers and wolves in Jizhou, Yun Lei is more than auspicious. ”

"Under the front and back attacks of Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, there is no way for Yun Lei to enter Jizhou in the east. Jizhou is Yuan Shao's territory, and Lu Bu will definitely not dare to cross the border to pursue easily. And Jizhou did not expect Yun Lei to suddenly enter Jizhou, and Yun Lei would have a great chance under insufficient precautions. Jia Xu analyzed.

"Now we can only hope for that."

Liu Wei was silent for a while, and then talked to Jia Xu about the main thing that called him tonight.

"How happened to the thing I asked Wen He to do last time?"

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "The people and ministers that His Majesty needs have been found, but they are just ...... Does Your Majesty really want to use this to deal with Yuan Shu? ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wen He has an opinion on this?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, but the minister thinks that if there is a raging and ugly commotion today, will Your Majesty's plan fuel Yuan Shu's arrogance?"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "It's normal for Wen He to have such doubts. ”

Liu Wei walked up along the river, and Jia Xu followed behind him.

"Wen He has ever heard the phrase 'if heaven wants to make it die, it must first make it crazy'?"

Jia Xu thought about it carefully and replied, "The minister has not heard of it. But it seems that if you want to go with Lao Tzu, you will be able to do it; It is similar to what wants to be weak, and what is strong. ”

Liu Wei glanced at Jia Xu appreciatively. In terms of learning, Jia Xu still has one or two brushes, but he was born in Liangzhou and was not recognized by the Central Plains scholars. In Xiliang, which is in the environment of perennial war and barren land, power and scheming have gradually replaced learning as a means of survival.

"The arguments are different, but the truth is the same." Liu Wei nodded and said.

Stopped, picked up a branch and wrote the names of three people on the ground: Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu.

"These three ** chaos in the world are the troubles of the henchmen of the Han Dynasty. The rest are like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, who only know how to keep it, and Liu Daitao is humble and does nothing, as long as the imperial court occupies the general trend, they are not worried. Now Yuan Shao and Lu Bu have formed an alliance, and Yuan Shu ......"

Liu Wei paused and drew a circle on Yuan Shu's name.

"Yuan Shao must not be allowed to unite with Yuan Shu in the north and south!"

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been at odds with each other, and if there is external oppression, the two of them can still conspire. If the external force is withdrawn, the two of them will turn against each other. Jia Xu analyzed.

Liu Wei nodded in agreement. Originally, in history, the princes of the late Eastern Han Dynasty were in a scuffle, and the Yuan brothers were strong in the south and the north, and even Cao Cao had to rely on them, which can be said to be the hegemon at that time. If the two can unite, the world can get it. But Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were originally incompatible, and after Yuan Shu became emperor, they turned against each other, and finally ended up with their own destruction.

In this era, the Yuan brothers have a common enemy such as the imperial court, although they are still at odds with each other, but the ties between the two sides are much closer than in the original history. Yuan Shu did not show signs of becoming an emperor as in history, although he had such ambitions in his heart. Therefore, Liu Wei had to lay the nail to prevent them from uniting.

Liu Wei simply commented on Yuan Shu: "Yuan Shu is very self-controlled, arrogant and unwise, even if I don't deal with him, he will destroy himself." The reason why I asked Wen He to set up this plan was to hasten his demise and turn the Yuan brothers against him. In fact, Yuan Shu had this disobedience for a long time, but he didn't have any basis, so he didn't dare to act. I also thought about making a fake jade seal for him, but it is really known to the world here that this thing is not easy to operate. ”

After a pause, Liu Wei looked into Jia Xu's eyes, his gaze clear.

"Everyone in this world will have **, but when ** swells beyond their ability, they will be swallowed up by **. I just want Yuan Shu's ** to swell to the extent of destroying himself. Yuan Shao said that I succeeded to the throne and set up a new emperor in Jizhou, but I wanted to see what the people of the world would think of their Yuan family when his younger brother Yuan Shu became the emperor! ”

Liu Wei laughed predictably, the laughter echoed in the silent night, Jia Xu's scalp was numb, and he was a little skeptical that Liu Wei was too stimulated.

Fortunately, Liu Wei quickly stopped laughing and said to Jia Xu: "Since the person has been found, Wen He will follow the plan discussed in advance." ”

"Whoa!" Jia Xuru was pardoned and quickly fled.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Wei stopped him again.

"What else does Your Majesty command?" Jia Xu stepped back and asked.

"I haven't asked Wen He who he is looking for?"

"Langya Taoist Yu Ji, often in Wu County, Huiji area for the people to draw talismans to cure diseases, originally in Jiangdong was quite famous, such a person appeared next to Yuan Shu will not arouse suspicion." Jia Xu replied.

Yu Ji? Liu Wei's face twitched, and Jia Xu saw that he showed a very complicated expression.

"Your Majesty thinks this person is inappropriate?" Jia Xu asked.

"It's ...... It's nothing! A complicated feeling welled up in Liu Bian's heart. How did you find him? ”

"Thanks to Shi Daochang's recommendation, he has an old relationship with Na Yu Ji." Jia Xu replied.

"It's Uncle Shi. I haven't seen him in a long time. Last time, he asked him to help find Ma Jun, but I don't know if I found it. Liu Wei said to himself. With a wave of his hand, Jia Xu left.

Walked back to Zhutao Yashe, along the way with complicated thoughts, the pace was not slow, and soon returned to Zhutao Yashe.

Empress Tang was sitting in the living room, and Liu Wei walked up to her and put the wine jug in front of her.

Empress Tang stood up and saluted: "The concubine deceived the Son of Heaven, please ask Your Majesty to condemn you." ”

Liu Wei pursed his lips and said: "Punishment is naturally punished, and there are no rules." What are the punishments......"

Liu Wei looked at Empress Tang's figure with a kind of lustful gaze. Queen Tang's face was crimson, she had been married to Liu Wei for a long time, but she still blushed when she heard her husband's ridicule.

Liu Wei helped her up, exhaled in her ear and said, "I think we should have a child too." ”

Empress Tang lowered her head shyly, feeling that Liu Wei's mood did not seem to be as preoccupied as a few days ago.

"What did your majesty do with it?"

"Just figured something out." Liu Wei replied with a smile.

Belch? Empress Tang looked at him curiously.

"In the past, I always wanted to do my best, and I always felt that I had a ...... for this era Superiority. Therefore, once something beyond one's control arises, you will feel angry and lost. But in reality, manpower is limited, and even if you have the insight and knowledge that surpasses everyone in this era, there will be things that are beyond your reach. There are some things that don't need to be too obsessed, just do your best and let your destiny go. ”

"It's great that Your Majesty can think so." Empress Tang said happily.

Liu Wei gently took her hand and said, "Now it's time to talk about punishment." ”

Empress Tang's face was shy, but she did not refuse, and followed him to the bedroom on the second floor with Liu Wei's strength.

The spring breeze of the curtain overnight turned to dawn.
