Chapter 53: The Change of Youzhou (I)

Jixian County, Guangyang County, Youzhou, was originally the seat of Youzhou Prefecture, but after Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Zan took Wuzhong County, Youbeiping County, where his base is located, as the new state governance of Youzhou, although it was not recognized by the imperial court, but in fact, this Jixian County gradually lost its core value as a state and was gradually ignored.

However, some people here, it is difficult for people to ignore it for a long time, in a residential area where the nobles and wealthy families of Jixian County are intertwined, there is a large mansion, and what is more noticeable is that the door of this mansion is written with the four big characters of Xiangben Marquis' Mansion.

Liu Yu, the Marquis of Xiangben of the Han Dynasty, is a descendant of Liu Qiang, the son of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the famous feudal official of the late Han Dynasty.

His ability to govern the place is outstanding, and during the period of the assassination of Youzhou, he made the surrounding aliens dare not act rashly, and obeyed the tribute, which can be described as an astonishing prestige means, but unfortunately he did not highlight the table in military affairs, and finally died on this shortcoming, and was countered by Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, who was originally valued by his subordinates, and died as a result.

At this time, the owner of this Xiangben Marquis Mansion was Liu He.

Liu Henai is the son of Liu Yu, the former Youzhou Mu, and naturally he is also a member of the Han family, but his treatment as a Han family relative is too far from his father.

Although everyone will not have any disrespect for the Han family on the surface, such as Yuan Shao and others, they will only "disrespect Dong thief" and will not say that they disrespect the imperial court, and if it is beneficial to themselves, it will be some rewards and appointments issued by Dong Zhuotong Guò The imperial court will also accept it calmly, but it is a fact that the Liu family is gradually declining. This big tree is crumbling, not to mention people like Liu He who is attached to it, who used to be a celebrity but now everyone avoids it, or else he has a plan for him; Although Liu He is the son of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan's power in Youzhou is not comparable to Liu Yu, Liu Yu was able to subdue him with his prestige for many years when he was alive, and he was very reluctant, not to mention after his death, although Gongsun Chan was promoted and reused. But after that, conflicts with Liu Yu gradually arose. In the end, he went to complete confrontation, as Liu Yu's son, but he still had to live in Youzhou, which is now almost controlled by Gongsun Zhan, Liu He naturally felt a lot of pressure.

Think about it, if it weren't for Liu Yu's reputation, it would still be a little useful. In addition, Liu He did not show obvious ability and ambition to challenge Gongsun Zhan's status and authority. I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago and wouldn't live to live today. But even so, Gongsun Zhan didn't dare to relax with him, this Xiangben Marquis Mansion was actually full of his eyeliner, just in order to always pay attention to Liu He's movements and grasp accurate information in case of emergency.

In fact, the Youzhou controlled by Gongsun Chan is not a complete Youzhou. Since the time of Liu Yu, the eastern part of the subject state of Liaodong has been de facto occupied by Gongsun Du, the Hou of Liaodong, and Gongsun Zan now has only the five counties of Zhuo County, Guangyang, Yuyang, Youbeiping and Liaoxi, and the remaining Dai County and Shanggu County have been occupied by Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Chan was also coerced by Yuan Shao step by step, on the other hand, his relationship with Jizhou Mu Han Fu also gradually deteriorated, there are his own reasons and Yuan Shao's transfer from the middle, and now the original allies are now not in contact, and the three forces are competing with each other, and Gongsun Chan and Han Fu are more incompatible than between the two and Yuan Shao because of their cooperation to confrontation.

However, for Liu He, no matter what is going on in Youzhou now, it doesn't belong to him, and it doesn't matter to him, his temperament is quite similar to his father, not weak, but he can't be tough when he wants to fight for his rights, he always looks like a kind old man, and he naturally can't gain a foothold in Hebei now.

At this time, Liu He, who was in his own mansion and should have walked or exercised in the courtyard at this time, was lying on the couch in his bedroom at the moment, and his haggard face was obviously sick.

There were three men and two women around him, one of the two women was Liu He's wife, the eldest daughter of Wei You, Liu Yu's most important adviser in the past, with a gentle and kind personality, and a generous person, and when Gongsun Zhan replaced him after Liu Yu's death, when Liu Yu's wives and concubines and some old slaves and servants in the Xiangben Marquis Mansion were scattered, she still chose to stay by Liu He's side and fulfill her obligations as a wife, and Liu He was also a husband and wife and did not take any more concubines; The other is Wei's personal maidservant, and at this moment she is still holding a tray in her hand, but the medicine bowl is held by Wei's hand, and she gently and carefully feeds Liu He to drink medicine one by one.

"Ahem...... I don't know if the medicine tastes too bitter, or too hot, or if the breath doesn't come up for a while, Liu He, who tilted his head slightly, suddenly coughed violently for a while, Wei's face changed and quickly put the medicine bowl back on the tray handed over by the maidservant, and then stroked Liu He's chest to help him breathe, while also eagerly said: "Husband, husband, are you okay?" ”

After a while, Liu He finally relieved himself and shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What can a husband do, in short, he can't die." ”

I have to say that Liu He also inherited one of Liu Yu's advantages, that is, he is open-minded, and he is also able to establish such a high prestige among different races, and it is conceivable what Gongsun Zan has done to make him very angry, and he wants to ask for it several times, if it weren't for Wei You's several dissuasions before, I am afraid he would have taken action a long time ago.

Wei Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can the husband say such a thing, and the concubine body can not know the husband's body?" Mr. Qi is a little bit familiar with the art of ambiguity, and he said that it is not a big problem for the husband to recuperate, so why does the husband need to say such frustrating words, so that he and I and other people who care about you are worried about it? ”

Listening to Wei's words, Liu He also felt that something was wrong, but then he smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about Mr. Qi, he is just a word of relief from the heart of the doctor's parents, I know my own body best, although I don't want to say it, but I really feel very bad, now, cough cough ......" said, and there was another violent cough.

Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu next to each other glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Liu He's body is not weak, although he is still studying, determined to be a literati, but the training of physical fitness is not less, Liu Yu often supervised the development of the heir's civil and military when he was alive, after his death Liu He was inevitably depressed for a period of time, but he has recovered, but he did not expect that the recent occasional wind and cold has become like this.

Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu are both Liu Yu's old subordinates, loyal to Liu Yu, after Liu Yu's death, they and Tian Chou and Qi Zhou did not find another way out to join Gongsun Chan like others or Gongsun Ji, or Sun Jin scolded Gongsun Chan and then committed suicide, but still followed Liu He's side.

They have high hopes for the only son left by the lord, although Liu He has always brought them a lot of disappointment, they still have not given up, and of course they will not force Liu He to do anything because of this.

And they are indeed concerned about Liu He's health, from Liu He's illness to now, for several days in a row, they have tried their best not to have the slightest contempt, and they have always come to invite and wait carefully for fear of any accidents. (To be continued......)
