When Xun Yu heard the report from the typhoon shelter teahouse, he was talking with Xun You about the Yuan family with Xun Shuang. The three of them were terrified when they heard that Liu Wei had gone to the typhoon shelter. In the past, although Liu Wei had also been out of the palace, he was still a prince at that time, but now he is the emperor of the world, how can he not be worried.

Moreover, now Liu Wei and the Xun clan have a deep entanglement, whether it is the business they cooperate in private, or Liu Bian's reliance and promotion on Xun Yu, Xun You and others, even if the Xun clan still has certain reservations about joining Liu Wei's camp, but in fact, they have been branded with a deep imperial label.

Hearing that Liu Wei was out of the palace, and then listening to the description of Liu Wei by the person, it is very likely that it is Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu. If today's son Liu Wei has no heirs, if something happens to the two of them together, then the leader of the Han Empire will be served in a pot, and the capital will have to mess up.

Xun Shuang hurriedly ordered Xun Yu to rush to the typhoon shelter teahouse to persuade Liu Wei and others to return to the palace, and ordered Xun Yu to find Zhao Yun, the general of the West Garden.

Xun Yu and Liu Wei had a deep relationship, and when they left Xun Shuang's mansion, they got into the carriage and galloped to the typhoon shelter teahouse. As soon as he entered the teahouse, Xun Qi greeted him, and bowed his mouth to Xun Yu in the direction of Liu Wei's seat, Xun Yu really saw Liu Wei and Liu Xie chatting with a scribe with his back to him, he was anxious, and he didn't look carefully at who the scribe was, and hurriedly came to Liu Wei's side.

Liu Wei saw Xun Yu for a moment, and then thought that it should be the person from the teahouse who found out his identity and notified him to come, before he could speak, Guo Jia turned around and saw Xun Yu standing next to him and asked in surprise: "Brother Wen Ruo, why are you here?" ”

Xun Yu was also stunned when he saw Guo Jia. "I'm here to ......" hesitated for a moment and cast an inquiring glance at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei hurriedly glanced at him, Xun Yu understood, but he was still wrong: "I came to find Liu Gongzi, but I never thought that I would sit with Fengxiao." ”

Liu Wei was speechless and blushed. He just claimed to Guo Jia that his name was Lu Ke, and Xun Yu claimed that he was Liu Gongzi, wasn't he still exposed?

Liu Xie forcibly held back a smile on the side, and didn't care that his fake identity was also exposed. Guo Jia pretended not to understand, and deliberately asked curiously, "Brother Wen Ruo also knows this son?" ”

Xun Yu nodded and made up a lie: "It's a friend of the world." ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, he and Xun Yu have not been friends for a day or two, and they were very good friends when they were studying at Yingchuan Academy. He knew all Xun Yu's friends, but he had never heard of this Liu Gongzi or Lu Gongzi. At this time, Guo Jia no longer had doubts about the identities of Liu Wei and others.

It's just that Guo Jia has a free and easy personality, although he understands Liu Bian's noble identity, his attitude towards Liu Biao is still neither humble nor arrogant. It's just that he was quite embarrassed to see Liu Bian's identity exposed, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he proposed his farewell:

"I was very happy to be able to talk with the two little friends today, and I had to meet Brother Wen Ruo, I wanted to continue to get together with Xiaoyou and Brother Wen Ruo, but the time for curfew was coming, so I had to break up here and reunite another day."

Curfews in the Han Dynasty were not as formal and strict as they were during the Tang Dynasty, and were more akin to an autonomous act of the common people based on safety concerns rather than an official rule. The backwardness of lighting equipment at night has made the dark night a hotbed of crime, and in recent years, the world has been in turmoil, thieves have swarmed, and the common people have closed their doors early.

After Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, the curfew was more standardized and institutionalized. Although the abundance of nightlife was a symbol of economic development, the commercial economy of the Han Dynasty was not as developed as that of the Song Dynasty, and even if Liu Wei tried to support commercial development, it required a certain amount of development.

However, the curfew stipulated by Liu Wei is only for the city of Luoyang, and it is not so strict outside the city, such as the Diaoyutai located on the edge of the Luoshui River, which is a song every night, drunk and dreaming of death.

Guo Jia proposed the curfew, Liu Wei looked at the time outside the teahouse, and it was indeed not early, so he said goodbye to Guo Jia with Liu Xie, Xun Yu was worried about Liu Wei, and he was not interested in catching up with Guo Jia, but just asked: "Where does Fengxiao settle now?" ”

"Naotokikaku." Guo Jia replied.

Xun Yu said reproachfully: "Feng Xiao didn't come to Luoyang to see me first?" ”

Guo Jiayu smiled and said: "Brother Wen Ruo is busy with government affairs, how dare my brother disturb?" ”

Xun Yu was happy for a moment, and said, "I don't know your thoughts!" This imperial examination is presided over by Lu Gong and Cai Gong, and it has nothing to do with me, you are close to me, and it will not affect your results in the scientific examination. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Brother Wen Ruo knows my thoughts. However, there are all the wise men in the capital, all of whom are talented and outstanding, and at this time, I want to give me some questions about the scientific examination, so that I can take the examination less strenuously when I come! ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, you go first, and you will definitely come to meet with me in a few days." ”

Guo Jia nodded, and said, "I'll bother Brother Wen Ruo another day." ”

Xun Yu said: "Excellent! ”

Guo Jia said goodbye to Liu Wei and others, and the other people in the teahouse gradually dispersed because of the upcoming curfew.

Xun Yu wanted to speak to Liu Bian, but Liu Biao asked Xun Qi first: "Are you going to participate in this imperial examination?" ”

Xun Qi nodded yes.

Liu Wei said again: "The Xun family is a famous person, take the test well, don't insult the Xun family." ”

Then he encouraged Xun Qi again.

I thought I could get through, but Xun Yu still said to Liu with a displeased face: "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is the lord of all peoples, and his identity is like the weight of Mount Tai, why do you ignore the danger and leave the palace without permission?" ”

Liu Wei said with a smile on his face: "I know that I am wrong, Wen Ruo Mo has to say more." ”

Liu Wei took the initiative to admit his mistake, and Xun Yu, a courtier, didn't say much, so he had to be silent. Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Above the court, he was most frightened by Lu Zhi and Xun Yu.

The two of them are upright and rigorous, and they will strictly correct Liu Wei for all behaviors that violate the code of conduct of the supreme ruler of the empire.

Strange to say, the two of them were not so strict with Liu Wei when he was the prince, but Liu Wei ascended the throne and grasped the power to kill and seize the whole world, but the two became active.

In the final analysis, this is because Lu Zhi and Xun Yu agree with Liu Wei's leadership in their hearts, and abide by their duty as courtiers with their upright character.

However, what Liu Wei admired the most was that Lu Zhi and Xun Yu not only had strict requirements for him, but also their own moral integrity was understandable.

Both of them were born in prestigious families and had extensive family wealth, so they naturally disdained things that affected their reputations, such as corruption and bribery. As for forming a party for personal gain, it is even more difficult to see the two of them using power for profit. It is even more rare that the two of them are embarrassed by many so-called celebrities in their private lives, and they are not touched by wine and wealth at all, Lu Zhi has only one wife and one concubine in his family, and he is not like other official gentry and wealthy families in Luoyang, who has been blind to the vocal music and dance of the Ma Rong family since he was young, and has always maintained that upright character.

And Xun Yu is even more devoted to his work, and he has not yet married when he is approaching. Later, it was Liu Wei who entrusted Tang Ji to find a girl of the same age in Yingchuan's clan to match Xun Yu, who was the daughter of the late Zhongchang servant Tang Heng.

Since Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants were finished, Liu Wei swept away the power of the eunuchs in the court as soon as he succeeded to the throne, and the eunuch group has since stayed away from the political center of the Han Dynasty and returned to its old profession of sweeping the floor and guarding the door. Those scholars who had been oppressed by the eunuchs for a long time began to raise their eyebrows, and some of them wanted to take revenge on the oppressed days before, many eunuchs were unlucky, Tang Heng died early, but his descendants will inevitably be persecuted.

But fortunately, Tang Heng and Queen Tang Ji are both of the same clan in Yingchuan, so there was no way to force it, Tang Heng's descendants found Tang Ji's father Tang Mao.

Tang Mao is just a Tai Academy Cheng and has no rights, but her daughter is the queen of the dynasty after all. As soon as Tang Ji found Liu Wei and said, Liu Wei sent a favor, which not only protected Tang Heng's descendants, but Tang Heng's brothers Tang Zhen and Tang Xuan also served as some minor officials.

After Liu Wei proposed this family to Xun Yu, Xun Yu was unhappy because he disliked Tang as a eunuch, and after Xun Shuang's persuasion, Tang Ji issued an edict to recognize Tang as his sister, and his status improved a lot, which was enough to match, so Xun Yu nodded and agreed.

Xun Yu suddenly became Liu Wei's brother-in-law again.

So far, the relationship with Liu Wei has become closer and closer, and it is precisely because he regards Liu Wei as his own person that Xun Yu will always speak out and admonish. And Liu Wei admired Xun Yu's morality, and secondly, he also understood the truth of loyalty against his ears, so he never thought about Xun Yu's advice, and most of them just laughed and admitted their mistakes.

While Liu Wei was talking to Xun Yu and the others, Wei Yi and Zhao Yun also led their soldiers to arrive.

As soon as Wei Yi entered the door, he first glared at Zhang Tao, the chief guard guarding Liu Wei's side, Zhang Tao couldn't bear his gaze and shrank in fright.

Wei Yi is in charge of the Coordination Society, and he is also responsible for Liu Wei's safety, as the head of the guards who is also responsible for Liu Wei's safety, Zhang Tao allowed Liu Wei to leave the palace without notifying him, how could Wei Yi not be annoyed.

Zhang Tao glanced at Wei Yi aggrievedly, in fact, he also had a bitterness in his heart, and Liu Wei ordered him not to tell anyone. Wei Yi doesn't have to follow the emperor every day, but he always wanders around in front of the emperor's eyes, how dare he disobey the orders of the Son of Heaven.

In fact, Wei Yi also has a certain responsibility for this matter, and the security department of the unified investigation agency also has staff who live in the palace, and immediately sent someone to inform Wei Yi after finding out of the palace, but Wei Yi has been busy with the affairs of the Xinxin Society recently, and the people who came did not find him, and the others did not know what to do, so it was delayed.

At this time, Wei Yi was not only in charge of the Unified Investigation Agency, but also in charge of the printing house, Zhixin Society and other Han propaganda organizations, wearing many hats and having heavy powers, but he was also a little too busy.

Wei Yi and Zhao Yun came in to salute Liu Wei, and they both said that they were late for the escort. Seeing that so many people were coming, Liu Wei also knew that it was not interesting, so he ordered Wei Yi, Zhao Yun and others to escort him back to the palace.

Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, Wei Yi once again pleaded guilty to Liu, saying that he did not protect the Son of Heaven well.

Liu argued: "Zhongxian doesn't have to be like this, it's my negligence. ”

Wei Yi euphemistically proposed to Liu Wei that he was wearing many hats and was a little too busy.

Liu Wei lowered his head and pondered, Wei Yi was indeed a little too powerful at this time, and his work was heavy. It's just that the Unified Investigation Agency, the Zhixin Society, and the Printing House are all key departments, and there are many secrets of Liu Wei in them, which can only be placed in the hands of confidants like Wei Yi. This involves another problem, there are too few confidants that Liu Wei can trust.

In the current court, Lu Zhi, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan and others are all important ministers that Liu Wei relied on, but when it comes to confidants, they are still Wei Yi and Jiang Qi. Only the two of them have read the plan written by Liu Wei and know his future reform plan.

However, after Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, the political and military struggles in all aspects became more and more in-depth and complex, and the history that Liu Wei originally knew began to become unrecognizable. Liu Wei can no longer predict the direction of a certain event, and Wei Yi and Jiang Qi still have a certain gap in their abilities compared with the famous ministers and generals of this era, and Liu Wei urgently needs a figure who can match those celebrities to join his future reform camp.

Now Liu Bian's command is full of talents, if the highest thesis Taowu is Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two are also the same age, younger than Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others who are close to the twilight of their lives, although Lu Zhi's loyalty is incomparable, but it can only be used as the pillar of Liu Bian's stability in the court, and it may be difficult to participate in the long reform in the future.

It's just that Liu Wei is still very jealous of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two heroic figures, and has never been able to attract them as henchmen.

In addition to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Xun Yu is skilled in government affairs, good at strategy, and is not rigid, and has never objected to Liu Wei's work all day long. Because he did see from the results of these works of obscenity that things such as water drains and zigzag ploughs were beneficial to the country and the people. has followed Liu Wei for the longest time, and his loyalty to Liu Wei can also be comparable to Lu Zhi. It's just that Xun Yu is deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he is also tied by the big family of Yingchuan Xun, Liu Bian's future reform will have a great impact on Confucianism and the wealthy families, and Liu Wei can't be sure which side Xun Yu will choose to stand on when the time comes.

Guo Jia, who was born in a poor family, is a very suitable candidate for a confidant. With the ambition of saving the country and the people, he acts eclecticly, has a free and easy personality, and does not have the pedantry of Confucianism, but is full of practical Mohist thought.

Liu Wei felt that Guo Jia was almost like a miniature version of Cao Cao, but he didn't have Cao Cao's arrogant leadership temperament, and he had a more cynical character.

Thinking of Guo Jia, another person appeared in Liu Wei's mind.

Jia Xu.

The same is informal, and they are both good at strategy, but Jia Xu is a little more than Guo Jia is practicing the way of power and strategy. The wisdom shown in resolving the Jingzhou incident made Liu Wei attach great importance to it.

However, Jia Xu's selfishness of self-protection also worried Liu Wei, if he wanted Jia Xu to become his confidant, he had to find a way to tie Jia Xu's fate to the carriage of his future reform, so that Jia Xu could unreservedly support Liu Wei's big plan for his own sake.

How to operate, Liu Wei knew that it took a lot of thought, and while he was thinking, Liu Xie, who was in the same car, suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Brother Huang, will the Yuan clan really rebel against the Han?" ”

Liu Xie was not evil to Yuan Kui and others, and Guo Jia's words just now shocked and confused him.

"The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, who are deeply favored by the emperor, how could they betray the Han Dynasty?" Liu Xie asked puzzled.

Liu Wei retracted his thoughts, smiled at Liu Xie and replied: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, how can people's ** be satisfied!" The Yuan family has been in a high position for a long time, and has accumulated a lot of reputation and party members, and now the Yuan family has party members all over the world, and they are extremely popular ministers. ”

Liu Xie was silent. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "The Yuan family is deep-rooted and powerful, in order to protect the stability of the society, I hope that the imperial brother will get rid of it as soon as possible!" ”

Liu Wei smiled and said, "You and my brothers work together, and their profits will be golden." The mere Yuan family is just a problem of scabies. As long as my two brothers join forces, they will inevitably prosper my strong man and make the ancestral foundation eternal for ten thousand years! ”

Liu Xie was also very excited when he heard Liu Wei say this, his fists were clenched, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "The younger brother is willing to join hands with the imperial brother, Zhongxing Han, never give up!" ”

***********

Xunshuang Mansion.

After informing Zhao Yuntianzi of the news that he was in the typhoon shelter, Xun Yu returned to Xun Shuang's Mansion.

Xun Shuang was stunned. If it was very late today, Xun Yu and Xun You had their own residences in Luoyang, and they thought that they would return home directly after dealing with the Son of Heaven's micro-service patrol, but they didn't expect Xun You to go and return.

Xun You stood straight in front of him, and stopped talking. Xun Shuang asked strangely, "What's the matter with Gongda?"

Xun You looked at Xun Shuang and hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and said...... To be continued, stay tuned for the next chapter.
