Chapter 197: Take the lead

Liu Xuan took out six military books from the system, "The Art of War" has been given to Xu Huang, "Liutao" has been given to Jia Xu, and there are still four books left around him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info These remaining four books, Liu Xuan does not plan to give them away for the time being, and will consider them when necessary.

"Boom! Boom! ”

There was a knock on the door outside the room, and Shi Ah said: "Lord, Li Ru and his wife ask to see you." ”

Liu Xuanjian raised his eyebrows, and Li Ru actually came with his wife.

This is a big deal, and we can't afford to slack off.

Li Ru is not only Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but also Dong Zhuo's confidant and strategist, and has a very high status in Dong Zhuo's heart. Once Li Ru feels uncomfortable, Li Ru will say something bad about Dong Zhuo's side, which will be bad for Liu Xuan.

Last time in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Xuan praised Li Ru and worked hard to improve the relationship between the two sides.

Now that Li Ru took the initiative to visit, it was also a release of goodwill, and Liu Xuan naturally couldn't slack off.

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and ordered: "Please Mrs. Dong come to the hall and greet me with me." ”

"No!"

Shi A went to give the order, and Liu Xuan hurriedly went to change his clothes.

Liu Xuan arrived in the hall and took Dong Han to the gate to greet him. Dong Han was a wife for the first time, and her body faded away from the youthfulness of a girl, and she became more mature and charming as a woman, and she was even more coquettish-charming-beautiful.

The two came to the door and saw Li Ru and his wife, Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law are visiting, the humble house is shining, please two inside." ”

"Please!"

Li Ru was also smiling and took his wife to the house.

I have to say that although Dong Zhuo is five big and three thick, his daughters under his knees are not bad. Dong Han is beautiful and charming. Dong Han's sister is also outstanding and quite beautiful.

Entering the mansion, Dong Han took the initiative to take her sister to the backyard, leaving Liu Xuan and Li Ru. Liu Xuan leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "I was about to visit my brother, but I didn't expect my brother to come first." ”

Li Ru said: "Brother Xian's words, remember it for my brother, I must come another day." ”

"Of course." Liu Xuan laughed, and then said, "Brother, let's go to the study." The reason why I said I was going to visit my brother was because I had just gotten a set of books, which were very valuable, and I was going to give them to him. ”

Li Ru said: "Brother Xian said this, and my brother's curiosity was aroused. ”

The two left the hall and walked towards the study.

Enter the study and sit down.

Liu Xuan took out a bundle of bamboo slips from "Wei Yuzi", put it on Li Ru's desk, waved his hand and said, "Brother, please take a look." At first, Liu Xuan didn't plan to send "Wei Yuzi" to Li Ru, but Li Ru took the initiative to visit, and Liu Xuan couldn't help but express it, so he pushed the boat and took "Wei Yuzi" as a favor. Being able to befriend Li Ru and reduce Liu Xuan's troubles in Chang'an is the best result.

Li Ru looked at a roll of bamboo slips from "Wei Xuanzi" and exclaimed: "It's actually "Wei Xuanzi". ”

Liu Xuan said: "Brother has good eyesight, this is the complete "Wei Xuanzi". ”

"Good, good, good!"

Li Ru said three good words in a row, and his expression was extremely excited.

Liu Xuan saw it in his eyes and smiled.

Regardless of whether Li Ru's performance is true or not, the two sides are still very harmonious.

After a while, Li Ru calmed down a little and said slowly: "Brother Xian doesn't know anything, the military book that my brother admires the most is "Wei Xuanzi". This book stresses the rule of law and military governance, and the ideas are quite incisive. ”

After a pause, Li Ru said again: "There are also a few copies of Wei Yuzi in my brother's family, but they are all fragments, incomplete, and it is very difficult to read, and it is difficult to read through the whole text. Brother Xian's "Wei Xuanzi" is neat and complete, and the handwriting is clearly visible. Brother Xian has a heart, thank you for your brother. ”

Li Ru admired Legalism and acted ruthlessly and domineeringly, and "Wei Xuanzi" was the military book he often studied. A book that Liu Xuan randomly selected fits Li Ru's hobby.

It can only be said that Liu Xuan's luck is very good.

Liu Xuan smiled brightly and said, "If my brother likes it, it's the best." ”

In fact, he really picked at random and didn't put much thought into it.

Unexpectedly, the crooked hit was on the right track.

Li Ru carefully put away the bamboo slips, and after tying up the bamboo slips, he thought about it for a while before he said slowly: "Do you know the news about Li Dao?" ”

Liu Xuan said: "I don't know. ”

Li Ru said: "Li Dao is no longer standing guard, he is temporarily arranged to be at home. Although the prime minister has not arranged for Li Dao's official position for the time being, the prime minister intends to reactivate Li Dao in the near future. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he smiled in his heart.

He didn't pay attention to Li Ru's news, and Li Ru took the initiative to mention it, which shows that showing favor to Li Ru has had an effect.

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Li Wei is in command of the Flying Bear Army, and he is a general under the command of the prime minister, and it is impossible to punish him all the time. It is also reasonable that he was reactivated by the prime minister. ”

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Brother Xian is extremely smart, why didn't you think of the key to it?" ”

Liu Xuan asked, "What's the key?" ”

Li Ru replied: "Li Dao has a quick temper, and he will repay others. The time compensation for the virtuous brother who came to Chang'an made him lose face. In this matter, Li Dao will not give up and will definitely take revenge. Once Brother Xian and Li Dao fight, whether Brother Xian is injured or Li Dao is injured, it may affect the weight of Brother Xian in the Prime Minister's heart. ”

Liu Xuan hurriedly said, "Please give me advice." ”

Li Ru was very satisfied with Liu Xuan's posture and said: "If you want to talk about this matter, it is actually simple. The virtuous brother only needs to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now and ask the Prime Minister to restore Li Dao's official position. The virtuous brother does this, which is a manifestation of the great measure of the virtuous brother. The virtuous brother has indicated that he will not pursue it, and once he fights with Li Dao again, the prime minister will definitely stand on the side of the virtuous brother in a preconceived idea, thinking that Li Dao is entangled. When the time comes, the virtuous brother will be able to take the lead. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he secretly admired Li Ru's strategy in his heart.

This move can be said to have taken the lead.

Liu Xuan stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Grace, please accept my salute." ”

Li Ru bowed his head slightly and accepted Liu Xuan's gift. In Li Ru's opinion, his strategy can solve Liu Xuan's problem, and it is also appropriate to bear Liu Xuan's gift.

Li Ru flicked his sleeves and said: "Brother Xian has something to deal with, so he won't stay for his brother and say goodbye." ”

Liu Xuan said: "I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I won't keep my brother, and I'll talk to my brother next time." ”

Liu Xuan sent Li Ru out of the study, and after the next person went to pass it on, it didn't take long for Dong Han and her sister to come out. After Liu Xuanmu sent Li Ru and Dong Han away, he asked Dong Han to clean up and prepare to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two left the residence in a carriage and headed for the prime minister's mansion.

This time Li Ru took the initiative to visit, Liu Xuan guessed that there may be two meanings.

First, Li Ru took his wife to visit to ask his wife to inquire about Dong Han's condition and see if Dong Han was doing well. Second, Li Ru also wanted to test Liu Xuan. If Liu Xuan's attitude is good, Li Ru will repay Li by telling Liu Xuan about Li Dao. If Liu Xuan married Dong Han and no one was in his eyes, Li Ru would naturally pretend to be deaf and dumb and perfunctory.

The carriage stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Xuan and Dong Han got off the carriage and went to the hall under the leadership of the attendants to wait for Dong Zhuo.
