Half a month after the wedding, Luan Tao decided to take his son and daughter-in-law back to Jinan. Luan Yi persuaded them to stay in the capital and live with him, but Luan Tao waved his hand and said: "The capital is prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is an undercurrent. It's not too peaceful! We're not here to make a mess for you kid! ”

Hearing this, Luan Yi smiled. This old Luan is not confused at all!

The next day, Luan Tao, Luan Miao, and Luan Diao returned to Jinan under the escort of Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

……

The days after marriage were generally sweet.

Luan Yi has the name of a prince and young master, and he receives his salary every month as usual, but he doesn't have to sit in the court. Every day, you only need to go to Taichang Mansion to order a mao, sign in and go home, chat with Cai Yan about poetry and songs, and enjoy the singing and dancing of the sable cicada and the warbler. Although he has no authority in his hands, he lives freely.

Until......

In the first year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty, when Huangfu Song conquered Zhang Jiao, he passed through Yedi and found that the residence of Zhao Zhong, a regular servant, exceeded the regulations, so he went to the emperor to confiscate it. In addition, Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, asked him for 50 million money, but he refused to give it. This offended the two most powerful eunuchs of the Han Dynasty.

So, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang joined forces and falsely accused Huangfu Song several times, giving him the responsibility of wasting money and food, and being proud of his achievements. Emperor Ling listened to the slander and recalled Huangfu Song at the same age and put him in prison pending trial.

Hearing this, Luan Yi was shocked. In the process of conquering the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he established a deep friendship with Huangfu Song. When he was convicted and imprisoned, he also received great help from Huangfu Song, which can be said to have owed a great favor to others. Now that the role has changed, Huangfu Song is trapped in a cage, and it is reasonable to come to the rescue. But although he is the prince and young master, he does not have the slightest power at hand. Before the piece of music sent reached the hands of Emperor Ling, it was intercepted by Zhang Rang.

He also tried to enter the palace to face the saint, but the little yellow door that reported the door didn't say, "Your Majesty is busy and has no time to summon him"; That is, "Your Majesty is resting, come back another day!" ”

Luan Yi suddenly understood that where His Majesty didn't have time, it was simply Zhang Rang who was obstructing himself from facing the saint.

In desperation, Luan Yi had to ask for help, and Cai Yong, Wang Yun, and Yuan Kui asked for help one by one. The answer was unexpectedly unanimous - the case was already a certainty, and Huangfu Song was hopeless.

Luan Yi shouted: "How is it possible? I can save it, why can't General Huangfu save it! ”

The answer is unexpectedly grim. Wang Yun told him: At the beginning, Wei Ning's accusation against Luan Yi was false, there was no real evidence, it was all conjecture, so it was not difficult to clear it up. But Huangfu Song is very different. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong had a large number of cronies buried in the army, and now they all jumped out and jointly accused Huangfu Song. There are all human and material evidence, whether it is true or not, Huangfu Song is speechless!

In addition, there is another point that is crucial. In the Battle of the Yellow Turban, it stands to reason that the general He Jin is the commander, and Huangfu Song is just the commander of the division of the first brigade. However, in the specific battle process, Huangfu Song first won a big victory in Changshe, and then won a series of battles, and the credit was too victorious, and even some people sang for it: "The world is in chaos, the city is in ruins, the mother does not protect the son, the wife loses her husband, and the emperor Fu Xi regains his peace." So much so that his reputation is far greater than that of He Jin.

In addition, Huangfu Song is indeed a little arrogant, He Jin is very dissatisfied with this, and he also has the intention of rectifying Huangfu Song. Now that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong took the initiative to take action, he was naturally happy to add fuel to the fire, not only giving the eunuch party a favor, but also excluding dissidents, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Yun also told Luan Yi bluntly. The group of relatives led by He Jin is the object of their current efforts to win over and befriend, whether it is Yuan Kui or Wang Yun, they don't dare now, they can't fall out with He Jin, and they must not do anything with He Jin. So in this matter, no matter how Luan Yi pleaded, they couldn't help. Of course, there is another important point - even if Wang Yun wants to help, he can't help.

He admonished Luan Yi and said, "Ziqi! My father knows that you are a good man who values love and righteousness! But in officialdom, the most taboo thing is to be a good person. Only knowing how to protect oneself is the way to survive. ”

"Yi is taught!"

Leaving the palace, Luan Yi's face showed a bit of despair, and he lamented that he was inferior and inferior, and he was powerless to rescue his benefactor. At the same time, he was also scolding this era, for the sake of power struggle, he actually put such a famous general and a good person as Huangfu Song into the ranks of victims.

He rolled over his horse and walked slowly towards the house. The horse's hooves ticked and beat the sad rhythm. He held the reins and looked at the vanity street scene on the street of Luoyang City, and suddenly heard a miserable scream: "Help!" ”

I saw three figures flashing around the corner. One person runs, two people chase. One of the fleeing men accidentally fell to the ground, and the pursuers then pounced, and the person who caught the ground was beaten violently. The fugitive screamed incessantly, calling for help, "Help! Help me! ”

There were many onlookers around, pointing and talking, but no one stepped forward to help.

Luan Yi was furious and wanted to get off the horse to help. Suddenly, what Wang Yun had just said to himself sounded, "Those who are officials are most taboo to be good people...... Protect yourself! Wise self-preservation? "The imperial city is full of dignitaries and dignitaries, in case the beater is the family of some kind of royal relatives, high-ranking officials and high-ranking people, wouldn't it be to cause trouble if he took action himself!

Thinking of this, Luan Yi stabilized himself on the tall horse, and the reins of the horse sped up the horse's speed.

And yet at this very moment. When the beaten man saw that there was no one to help him, he cried out no more, and groped around, and he picked up a large stone out of nowhere, and struck it twice on the head of one of the beaters. Blood flowed and smashed the assailant to the ground, followed by another smash at the other man, knocking him down. Then, with a blue nose and swollen face, he stood up, glared at the onlookers around him, and finally focused his eyes on Luan Yi, who was sitting firmly on the tall horse. Angry snort: "Hmph! Better do it than wish it done! With that, he threw the blood-stained stone and walked away.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself?" Luan Yi was stunned for a moment.

Ask? Seeking yourself? For a long time in the past, Luan Yi was always dependent on others, when he was in prison, and after Huangfu Song was imprisoned, even now, he is living under the blessing of Yuan Kui. But is this blessing really reliable?

That's right! Yuan Kui and the others had indeed saved him before, but the reason why they were saved was because Yuan Kui felt that rescuing him could win huge benefits, and he could win a brigade with the influence of Luan Yi. Now, with Huang Fu Song, they know that Huang Fu Song is upright and difficult to control, and instead of using them for value, it will cause them to offend their relatives and eunuchs at the same time. So, they stopped and ignored it.

Obviously, Huangfu Song is an outcast who is not worth using. But is he Luan Yi always worth using? In case one day, when Zhang Rang confronts him again with Luan Yi, it will seriously damage the interests of the scholars. Yuan Kui: Will they help themselves again?

No, definitely not. With that wise self-preservation, they won't make any moves.

Luan Yi was cold, and at the same time, he also understood the true meaning of "it is better to seek others than to seek yourself". He accumulates strength in this Luoyang City, not only to protect himself, but also to protect his family.

But now that he has no power or power, how can he win a place? Undoubtedly, the development of the Church of Our Lady is an excellent choice, which will earn him a great network base. However, this is not enough, in the Han Dynasty, where power is used to discuss fists, more people do not necessarily mean greater power, and the emperor's edict is far more effective than the umbrella of the people. Moreover, Emperor Ling was still jealous of the Holy Mother Sect at this time, and the large-scale preaching outweighed the losses.

"An edict?" Thinking of this, Luan Yi suddenly realized, and whispered: "Emperor! ”

It suddenly occurred to him that the reason why the Ten Standing Servants were so rampant was because they were so powerful? Of course not, no matter how high their official position is, they are just ministers and eunuchs, how can they be comparable to the three dukes and nine kings and generals in terms of power. The reason why they can cover the sky with one hand and swagger through the market is due to the emperor's love and trust.

Love and trust? First there is love, then there is trust.

How can you win the love of the Spirit Emperor? Doing what you like is an inevitable choice.

Thinking of this, the corners of Luan Yi's mouth inadvertently curled. What does Emperor Ling like? Everyone on earth knows that he was the first merchant emperor in Chinese history -- he loved money. And the last thing he lacks is money.

In addition to loving money, Emperor Ling also likes to have fun. At this point, Luan Yi from the 21st century has never been afraid of anyone.

With these two points, Luan Yi has every reason to believe that Emperor Ling will definitely like him. The only thing missing now is the opportunity to make contact with the Spirit Emperor.

In this regard, Zhang Rang was on guard against himself, set up cards everywhere, and didn't give him a chance at all.

"How's that okay?"

A simple plan gradually took shape in Luan Yi's mind, brewing and fermenting on horseback.

Back in the house, Luan Yi greeted the two wives, rushed into the study, and instructed Luan Fu not to disturb anyone except Jinan urgently, even the two ladies.

After speaking, he closed the door of the study and locked himself in the study. In addition to going to the yard every day for half an hour, the rest of the time is nested in the study, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all in the house, and I don't tell others what I am busy with!

Cai Yan and Diao Chan were very worried about this, and said that Luan Yi was stimulated by Huangfu Song's imprisonment. As soon as he had free time, he came to visit, but was repeatedly persuaded by the iron-faced and selfless Luan Fu. The second daughter was so anxious that she couldn't do it, and she couldn't have a seizure.

Diao Chan had to make some pastries and porridge soup every day for Luan Fu to hand over to Luan Yi to replenish his body; Cai Yan doesn't know how to cook, so he can only buy some ready-made melons and fruits and send them to the study, and occasionally sandwich some bright poems between the melons and fruits.

Time passes, and the sun sets. Cai Yan and Diao Chan have been waiting for more than 2 months, but they still haven't seen Luan Yi go out, so they are really worried. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and broke into the door of the study again.

Facing Luan Fu who was blocking in front of the door, Cai Yan said angrily: "Today, I will definitely see Ziqi!" ”

"Young lady!" Luan Fu looked embarrassed, "The young master said before that no one was allowed to enter the study, even the two ladies. Don't be embarrassed! ”

Cai Yan shouted angrily: "Obviously living in a courtyard, how can you not see it!" Go away, or don't blame me for not being emotional! ”

Seeing that Cai Yan was about to break through, Luan Fu hurriedly blocked it, "Madam......"

"Bold!" Cai Yan was furious. "Who do you think you are? It's just a little scholar! Even I dare to stop it. Do you still have me in your eyes? Don't get out of the way yet. ”

Diao Chan's sensitive sense of hearing instantly caught the sound of tables and chairs moving in the room, and her eyes rolled and hurriedly advised, "Sister Cai has something to say, be quiet." Don't bother Luan Lang," she turned to Luan Fu and said, "Luan Fu, I'm really worried about Luan Lang's recent situation, so I'm in a hurry to take a look." Fang Xin, after entering, we will not disturb Luan Lang, just take a look from afar and know that everything is fine with him! Or you don't need to enter the door, just leave a crack and look at him from a distance. Is that good? ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "squeak", and the door of the study opened, revealing Luan Yi with an unkempt face and a tired face.

Luan Yi smiled at Diao Chan with gentle eyes, and nodded to Cai Yan again. smiled: "Haha, it's finally done!" ”
