Soon, Liu Xin came to the living room of Huangfu, where Huang Mei was drinking tea with a man with a white face and beard, who looked to be in his thirties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Needless to say, this person is the angel sent by Emperor Han Ling, Bi Lan, one of the ten permanent attendants.

When Huang Mei saw Liu Xin walk into the living room, he got up and said, "Immortal Master Liu, this is an angel sent by His Majesty, and he is always serving Bi Lan. ”

After all, the current Liu Xin has no official and no lord, and Huang Mei is the county order of Chengdu, if Huang Mei dares to call Liu Xin the lord in front of the angels, he will definitely cause all kinds of trouble, and he will also leave a handle.

Of course, Liu Xinhuai's identity as the king of Huainan cannot be clearly stated in front of the angels, because Liu Xin's identity has not been recognized by Emperor Han Ling.

However, before Liu Xin could speak, Bi Lan preemptively said: "This must be the queen of Huainan, the disciple of Zhou Gong, Liu Xin and Liu Zi, who often serve Bi Lan in Xiazhong, and today he is entrusted by His Majesty to come to Chengdu to deliver the decree." ”

Liu Xin looked at Bi Lan with some surprise, but he didn't expect that these ten permanent servants didn't put up a fight!

I already knew that today's ten permanent servants, under the indulgence and tolerance of Emperor Han Ling, not only bullied men and women, and amassed countless wealth, but also relied on the grace of Emperor Han Ling, even in the face of the three princes and nine kings, too guarded by the history of assassination, they were all arrogant and fearless.

Therefore, Liu Xin has been mentally prepared to face Bi Lan's difficulties, and has prepared various gifts.

After all, as a eunuch, all you can pursue is wealth and treasures.

But now it seems that this Bi Lan seems to be an outlier among the ten permanent servants.

However, Liu Xin quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Bi Changshou came all the way from Luoyang, presumably it was a trek through mountains and rivers, and it was very hard. ”

Liu Xin took out a gilt silver-plated mirror with a ruby handle from his sleeve and handed it to Bi Lan.

Even Bi Lan, as a regular attendant, had received a lot of rare treasures, but he was stunned by the makeup mirror in Liu Xin's hand.

However, Bi Lan is also a regular servant, and after following Emperor Han Ling for so many years, he can be regarded as having some knowledge, and he quickly came back to his senses, and said with some confusion: "The small ones are all for the service of Your Majesty, how can there be any hard work or not, Lord Wang, you better put it away, you can't ask for such treasures." ”

Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Bi Lan to call himself the prince, it seems that Emperor Han Ling has recognized his identity.

Liu Xin, who was happy in his heart, directly stuffed the gorgeous makeup mirror in his hand directly into Bi Lan's hand, and said with a smile: "Why should Bi Changzhi be polite, everyone here is his own people, you just have to take it, although you are serving Your Majesty, but this is a part of my heart, please accept it." ”

As soon as Bi Lan heard Liu Xin say this, she no longer shirked, directly accepted the makeup mirror, and said with a smile: "Then I might as well be respectful and obey my fate, and accept this generous gift from the prince." ”

Liu Xin smiled and hurriedly asked, "Bi Changshi, I heard you call me the prince, does Your Majesty already know and recognize my identity?" ”

Bi Lan nodded with a smile and said seriously: "Of course, Your Majesty learned the news of the prince a few days ago, so he ordered me to hurry up all the way and come to Chengdu to recruit the prince to Luoyang and enter the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xin frowned, Bi Lan did not explicitly say the attitude of Emperor Han Ling, which made Liu Xin ask with some doubts: "Bi Changshi, dare to ask His Majesty what kind of attitude he has towards me?" ”

Bi Lan, as a regular servant, served Emperor Ling of Han all the year round, and had already practiced a set of good skills to observe words and colors, so he naturally understood what Liu Xin was thinking, so Bi Lan said with a smile: "Although Your Majesty didn't say it explicitly, but the little one can see that His Majesty cares about the prince very much, so I will let the little one go day and night, come to Chengdu to find the prince, and His Majesty also specially told the little one, as long as you see the prince, you will immediately leave for Luoyang, so if the prince has nothing to do, we will get up and go to Luoyang tomorrow, okay?" ”

Liu Xin nodded, it seems that Emperor Han Ling is very interested in himself, and subconsciously has identified his identity, this time he recruited himself to Luoyang, as long as there is no accident, he will be able to implement his identity as a descendant of King Huainan, and he can also be a prince.

Liu Xin thought of this, so he nodded and said: "Of course, we can't let Your Majesty wait for a long time, but Bi Changshi should know that he has just returned from the Western Regions and doesn't know much about the situation of today's Han Dynasty, but I know that above this court, but the dark tide is turbulent and there are many factions, so I want to ask Bi Changshi, where should I stand when I go down to Luoyang?" ”

Liu Xin asked like this, in order to know the division of forces above the court today, although in history and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the current court forces are divided into three forces, one is the eunuch force headed by the ten permanent servants, the other is the foreign relatives led by He Jin and General He, and the last force is the family force headed by the Yuan family.

But this world has been changed by the way of heaven, and the reality is always more complicated than in books, there are countless factions under the major forces, and now that Liu Xin has entered Luoyang, he must choose to join a faction of forces, otherwise he will be displeased with both ends, and the trip to Luoyang may also end up empty-handed.

As for the left and right, it's just a bridge that can only be found in novels, the court pays attention to black and white, even if you want to choose neutrality, you must first establish a neutral faction, otherwise you will be alone, and you will only be eaten by other forces and there will be no scum left.

However, since Bi Lan came to give him a decree, Liu Xin could only temporarily join the eunuch faction.

In fact, Liu Xin has also discussed with Su Jia, and the eunuch power is actually the best choice.

Because Liu Xin does not plan to be an official in Luoyang, as long as he implements his identity, he can find an opportunity to return to Chengdu.

However, what Liu Xin was thinking about was how to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie during the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Although there will also be a small-scale Yellow Turban Uprising in Yizhou, Liu Xin is confident that he can quickly suppress it, but correspondingly, the credit will be much smaller.

And what Liu Xin wants is to take this opportunity to control Jiaozhou!

Liu Xin's idea was to bribe the Ten Standing Servants during the Yellow Turban Uprising, so that the Ten Standing Servants could persuade Emperor Ling of Han to send troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves in Jiaozhou, even if he could not become the state pastor of Jiaozhou in name, he could actually control Jiaozhou on the grounds that he was stationed to guard against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

In addition, after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, when the contradiction between the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin broke out completely, as a member of the eunuch forces, the Ten Standing Servants would definitely recruit themselves into Luoyang in the name of the emperor, and then they would have a reason to send troops.

However, Liu Xin's destination was not in Luoyang, but after waiting for Dong Zhuo to go to Luoyang, he would directly take Chang'an, cut off Dong Zhuo's back road, and then he could slowly digest Liangzhou and occupy the entire west of the Han Dynasty!

As for the last reason for choosing the eunuch forces, that is, there is no need to meet with swords and soldiers in the future, and as long as the ten permanent servants are destroyed, they will become "non-partisan" people, and they can fight whoever they want when the time comes, and they don't have to worry so much.

Of course, the only thing Liu Xin is entangled in is that if he mixes with this group of eunuchs, will it affect his reputation?

However, those who achieve great things are not informal, and history is always written by the victors.

Bi Lan's face was happy, he was still thinking about how to persuade Liu Xin to join his faction, after all, as long as there were no accidents, Liu Xin would be able to confirm the title of the prince, plus the name of Zhou Gong's disciple, as well as the many rare treasures in his hands, would definitely attract the major forces in Luoyang to recruit him.

Bi Lan's faction also spent a lot of effort to give Bi Lan the opportunity to come to Chengdu to spread the message, just to recruit Liu Xin in advance.

However, Bi Lan didn't expect Liu Xin to be so upright, so he sent it to the door himself.

Bi Lan hurriedly said: "The little ones are not secret, now the prince has already become famous in Luoyang, and many people are inquiring about the news of the prince, wanting to recruit the prince to join their forces." ”

"To put it simply, there are four major forces in Luoyang today, the small one is the Chang Shi force, the foreign relatives force led by the general He Jin, the family power led by the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, and the completely neutral scribe force headed by Lu Zhi."

"Their Chinese forces can be put aside for the time being, because they are obsessed with learning, basically will not clash with other forces, and will not take the initiative to recruit Wang Ye."

"And although the family forces hold important positions in the court, they are huge and complex, and they are constantly attacking each other, Lord Wang, you are now alone, not only can you not get the support and help of the forces, but also easily become a victim of factional struggles, after all, the prince's foundation is unstable."

"As for the power of foreign relatives, although He Jin's family is dominant, but this He Jin is just a butcher, without any ability, because of his sister, he became a general, and He Jin is greedy, if the prince joins his forces, then the treasures in the hands of the prince will be tried by him to go, not to mention that as long as Queen He falls out of favor, then He Jin, the general, will definitely not be able to be the general."

"Finally, that is, the permanent service force where I am located, although our permanent service force is the weakest among the four major forces, but we are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and are regarded as relatives by His Majesty, many of His Majesty's decisions will be discussed with us, as long as you join our faction, then your identity will definitely be recognized by Your Majesty, and what kind of official position and fief you want to get, Lord, we can help the Prince."

Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, since this eunuch force has offered such generous conditions, what reason do he have not to agree.

Liu Xin smiled, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful, but I listened to what Bi Chang Shi said, it seems that our Chang Shi forces are also divided into factions?" ”

Bi Lan nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there were originally only four people in the position of the Standing Servant, but now it has expanded to seventeen people, and it is divided into two major factions for various reasons, led by Zhang Rang Zhang Changshou and Zhao Zhong Zhao Changshou, of which Zhang Changshou is outside the main body, Zhao Changshou is in the main, and I am a member of the Zhang Changshou faction, but although our Changshou forces are divided into two major factions, our Changshou forces are still very harmonious internally. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it was the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and he couldn't care that Emperor Han Ling would say "Zhang Rang is my father, and Zhao Zhong is my mother."

Next, Liu Xin asked about the specific division of the faction, and it turned out that Zhang Rang's faction had eight people, including Zhang Rang, Bi Lan, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, and Cheng Kuang; Under Zhao Zhong's faction, there are nine people, including Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Li Song, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian.

Moreover, this trip to Chengdu was to compete with Song Dian by Bi Lan, and in the end, Zhang Rang was a chess player and helped Bi Lan get this opportunity to recruit Liu Xin in advance.

Moreover, Zhang Rang also gave Liu Xin generous conditions, as long as Liu Xin joins the faction, then it is guaranteed to implement Liu Xin's royal identity, and Liu Xin will not become a member of the permanent forces on the surface, so as not to be rejected and suppressed by other forces.

Of course, there are conditions for doing this, that is, to let Liu Xin be an undercover agent, make friends with He Jin, and find a way to obtain information about the forces of his relatives, because Zhang Rang has discovered that the forces of his relatives have secretly joined forces with the forces of the family and began to target the forces of his permanent servants.

Therefore, Zhang Rang hopes that Liu Xin can gain He Jin's trust, and then get the evidence of the collusion between the foreign relatives and the family forces, so that Zhang Rang will have a Wang Bang as a hole card, after all, the collusion between the foreign relatives and the family forces has touched the emperor's death hole since ancient times, even Emperor Han Ling will never allow such a thing to happen.

Liu Xin and Bi Lan chatted for a while, and learned a lot of news above the court, such as the Ban Jian Rebellion had reached the ears of Emperor Han Ling, and Emperor Han Ling was furious, and had already ordered Yizhou Assassin Shi Yin Jian to quell the Ban Barbarian Rebellion as soon as possible, otherwise he would remove Xi Jian's position as a Assassin Shi.

By the way, this Yin Jian bought the position of Yizhou Assassin through Zhao Zhongcai.
