(PS: There are still four or five chapters in the first volume of this book that are coming to an end, the political struggle of the Han Dynasty will enter the most intense stage, and Guan Yi's political career is about to usher in a new starting point. ）

Liu Yong, whose name is Gongshou, is the son of Emperor Zhaolie and Empress Mu Wu, and the heir Liu Chan is the half-brother. In the first year of Zhangwu (221 AD), after Emperor Zhaolie ascended the throne, he named Liu Yong as the king of Lu. In the following year, Emperor Zhaolie was broken by Lu Xun of Eastern Wu in Yaoting, and when he was critically ill, he entrusted Gu Zhuge Wuhou in the White Emperor City, and ordered Liu Chan and Liu Yong to serve as their father.

In June of the eighth year of Jianxing (230 AD), the Han Dynasty sent Chen Zhen, the guard captain, to Eastern Wu to celebrate Sun Quan's claim to be emperor, and Sun Quan proposed to divide the world with Shu. It was agreed that in addition to the two states of Jing and Yang, the four prefectures of Henan, Qing, Xu, and Youzhou belonged to Eastern Wu, and the four prefectures of Yan, Hebei, and Liang belonged to the Han Dynasty, and the land of Sizhou was bounded by Hangu Pass, and the two countries divided the border equally. Because Liu Yong's fief was the king of Lu, and the land of Lu was in Qingzhou of Eastern Wu, Liu Yong was renamed the king of Ganling.

In Guan Yi's memory, Liu Yong was kind and kind, and he had the style of an elder, and the people of the Han Dynasty were favored by him. However, for more than ten years, the heir has ordered him not to enter the inner garden of the palace, because Liu Yong has not been able to participate in the court politics, and in the past two years, he has lived in a simple house and almost disappeared, but he doesn't want to see him suddenly in the north school.

"The last general's subordinates are all stationed here, and there is nothing to do today, so let's take a look." Guan Yi told the truth, and then said: "I don't know ...... the prince?" At this point, he paused deliberately, but the meaning of his words could not be clearer.

Liu Yong smiled faintly and said: "Xiao Wang has been in the mansion for a long time, and he feels quite tired, so he wants to go to Qingcheng Mountain to pray for blessings, but he doesn't want to meet a general here." ”

Guan Yi saw that he was humble in his words and called himself "Little Wang", and sighed secretly in his heart. Liu Yong was ordered not to enter the palace by the heir, and the reason was because Liu Yong was not used to Huang Hao's arbitrary power and disorderly government, and acted arbitrarily, so he was impeached, but he didn't want to be jealous of Huang Hao, so he slandered Liu Yong in front of Liu Chan and slandered Liu Yong. Liu Chan favored Huang Hao, and was quite suspicious of Liu Yong, who had the hope of the people, so he issued an order, which led to Liu Yong being isolated from the forbidden palace from then on.

In this section, all the ministers of the court are naturally open-minded. If you offend Huang Hao, you will most likely be excluded and dismissed, but if you can't see the situation clearly and offend the heir, you will risk losing your head. Therefore, as soon as the heir decreed the lord, none of the hundred officials in the court dared to write a letter to defend Liu Yong.

After Liu Yong lost power, although Jiang Wei, Zhuge Zhan and Fan Jian and others still tried their best to support the crisis, the Han Dynasty was played by Huang Hao since then, and the harm of eunuchs has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it cannot be eradicated urgently. As for Liu Yong himself and the Ganling Palace, it is even more prohibitive, and they dare not touch it easily, as if it has become a taboo for civil and military officials. For more than ten years, Liu Yong has repeatedly defended himself in order to seek innocence, but he has sunk into the sea like a stone and has not been traced. Although Liu Yong knew that Huang Hao must be the obstacle, he was helpless, seeing that his innocence was hopeless, he gradually became depressed and died.

Guan Yi thought that Liu Yong's dignified royal family was forced into such a situation by a eunuch villain, and his heart was quite uncomfortable. Remembering what Li Babai said to himself yesterday, he pondered for a while, and said softly: "I have heard for a long time that in Qingcheng Mountain, there is a living immortal named Li Yi, who is familiar with the changes of heaven and can know good fortune and evil, and he is really an immortal in the world!" ”

"I have heard the name of this person for a long time, is there really such a god in the world?" Liu Yong had obviously heard of Li Yiqi's name, but the meaning of Guan Yi's words was implicit, and he couldn't guess what he meant for a while.

Guan Yi sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder Liu Yong was so cautious, in the past ten years, he must have been suppressed and scared by Huang Hao and other traitors, and he has seen too much of the hot and cold world and the warmth of people, so Liu Yong easily does not dare to make friends with outsiders. smiled faintly and said, "According to the opinion of the last general, even if he is not an immortal, he must be a hermit master in the world." Don't you know if you are blessed to lose your horse? Since the prince went to Qingcheng to incense, he might as well take a trip, and maybe there will be unexpected gains. ”

"If you lose your horse, don't you know if it's a blessing?" Liu Yong muttered and suddenly realized in his heart that although the words and aphorisms in Guan Yi's words were not explicitly stated, the meaning of them was already to show a certain attitude. As for what kind of attitude it is, Guan Yi naturally won't say it in public at this moment, and Liu Yong won't explore it, but Liu Yong saw a trace of long-lost trust and pride from the flat smile on Guan Yi's face.

Before leaving, Liu Yong glanced at Guan Yi deeply. In his eyes, he seems to have regained his former self-confidence and sunshine.

Guan Yi didn't retract his gaze until Liu Yong's back gradually disappeared into the morning light of the warm winter sun, and muttered: "Lingyun Jinzhu is a true gentleman!" After more than ten years of hardship, it can still rebound against the wind, and the king of Ganling has the posture of a dragon and a phoenix! ”

In the camp, Guan Yi sat on the handsome chair in the middle, with E Hu and Chen Lie on one side, and at this time he was listening to Chen Lie report to Guan Yi on some large and small affairs in the army in the past few days. When it came to monitoring the arrangement of Huang Hao's eyeliner, as Guan Yi expected, after Chen Lie received Guan Yi's military order that day, he arranged for several groups of blood guards to disguise themselves as peddlers, pawns or merchants, and Huang Hao's eyeliner every move fell into the eyes of the blood guard.

Guan Yi already knew Chen Lie's leadership ability, so he just asked him to pick up some important reports, and let Chen Lie handle the rest of the routine affairs such as daily drills. Subsequently, Guan Yi, accompanied by Chen Lie, inspected the military affairs of each battalion, and stayed until noon, and then had dinner in the camp again, and then said goodbye to Chen Lie and led Ehu back to his home. Before leaving, it is natural to have some appreciation and encouragement.

The North Campus is located on the corner of the North City Gate of Chengdu, and if you go back to Guanfu, you need to cross half of the city. There was nothing to do left and right, Guan Yi and Ehu were not in a hurry, they just rode slowly all the way. When I arrived at the front street, I was walking, and I only heard Ehu pointing to the front, and said in a low voice: "Young master, it seems that it was the girl who dressed as a man last time!" ”

Guan Yi followed the direction pointed by Ehu, and saw that in the bustling flow of people in front of him, a young man with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a white robe was looking east and west with his hands behind his back, who was not the girl who dressed as a man last time?

Guan Yi's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he remembered the last time he saw her smile back. The woman in white also saw Guan Yi at this time, and was slightly stunned, then her face was happy, she walked to the horse, tilted her head to look at Guan Yi, and said with a smile: "Hey, there are people coming and going on the street, why are you in a daze?" ”

When Guan Yi heard her speak, he immediately came to his senses, hurriedly jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "Girl, we meet again!" ”

"Who told you to call me girl?" The woman in white glared, and then remembered the scene of the first meeting, Guan Yi holding her hand to escape from the guards patrolling the city, and a pretty face that could be broken immediately flew a red cloud, and she was speechless for a while.

Guan Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know where to run with his confidence and composure on weekdays, and he was stunned and didn't say a word.

When the woman in white saw Guan Yi's embarrassment, she couldn't help but laugh and said softly, "Idiot".

Guan Yi was secretly helpless, he was not stunned when he saw a beautiful girl and couldn't move his legs, but today he didn't know what was going on. Scratching his head, he smirked, "What a coincidence! ”

"Flutter!" The woman in white was provoked by his stunned appearance and laughed again, it was really a clever smile, bright and beautiful, and Guan Yi was dumbfounded.

"I'm leaving, Childe, please!" Seeing that Guan Yi was just staring at her head and smirking, the woman in white was ashamed and annoyed in her heart, and secretly scolded a fool and a fool, turned around and left.

When Guan Yi saw that she was leaving, he was anxious, and opened his mouth to shout: "Girl, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?" ”

"Idiot, I won't tell you!" The woman in white turned her head and giggled, grimaced at Guan Yi, turned around and disappeared into the flow of people coming and going on the street.

Guan Yi was stunned in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being weak at the critical moment, and he wanted to whip himself. When the woman in white couldn't see the figure, she turned her head and glared at Ehu fiercely, making him inexplicable, scratching her head with a bitter face, and thinking that she didn't say anything this time, why did she still stare at me? But when I think so, I don't dare to say it.

Back in the mansion, Guan Yi sat sullenly in the front hall in a daze, although Ehu was straightforward, but he also knew that it was best not to disturb him at this time, otherwise he might be reprimanded by him, so as soon as he returned to the mansion, he hid far away. Guan Yi sat for a while, and the figure of the woman in white always lingered in front of him, and he felt even more bored in his heart. When he was helpless, he saw An Niang running over upside down, and said with a smile: "Engong, An Niang has bought new clothes!" ”

Guan Yi raised his eyes and saw that An Niang was wearing a dark green silk gown, with a pair of white bottom and square shoes on her feet, and the green silk was hanging down, looking at herself with her eyes, indescribably well-behaved and cute. At this time, Zhou also hurriedly followed, and when he saw Guan Yi, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

When Guan Yi saw An Niang, his spirit was inexplicably lifted, and he immediately threw his boring mood out of the clouds, waved his hand to Zhou, signaled that she didn't need to be polite, and smiled at An Niang: "An Niang is really beautiful, come, uncle hug!" ”

An Niang suddenly smiled, grinned, opened her arms and ran in front of Guan Yi, Guan Yi picked her up with an "ouch", held her in the air and spun around twice, and An Niang giggled.

"Come, Ann Niang tell her uncle what things she and her mother have purchased?" Guan Yi put An Niang on his lap, picked up the pears on the table, peeled them and cut them into pieces and fed them to An Niang.

"My mother bought several new clothes for Anniang!" An Niang chewed the sweet and juicy pear, her face was excited, but then her face darkened again, she glanced at Zhou, climbed Guan Yi's neck, and whispered in her ear: "However, my mother herself didn't buy a new dress!" ”

Guan Yi glanced at Zhou's family, and sure enough, he saw that she was still wearing her old clothes, and she realized something in her heart, and smiled faintly at An Niang: "An Niang knows why this is?" ”

"My mother said that my mother and An Niang already owe too much to Engong, and I can't be dissatisfied!" An Niang was afraid that Zhou would hear it, and her voice was very quiet, but it made Guan Yi's ears itch for a while. Zhou stood aside, although he didn't know what the two people were talking about, but seeing them so close, his heart was uneasy and relieved. Although she is a subordinate, she can also see that Guan Yi really loves An Niang, and although An Niang is young, she can also feel Guan Yi's love for herself, and she has already regarded Guan Yi as her closest person in careful thinking.

Guan Yi listened to An Niang's words, her heart was bright, she smiled and gently twisted her delicate little nose, and said with a smile: "Uncle knows, An Niang will go back to the room first, and Uncle will say a few words to your mother!" ”

"Nasty! Engong twisted An Niang's nose again! An Niang muttered dissatisfiedly, stretched out her chubby little hand to pat Guan Yi's hand, then grinned, squeaked off Guan Yi's lap, and trotted back to the room.
