Liu Bei put down the pen, crossed his hands together and lay on the desk, thought carefully for a while, and shook his head: "Big brother, what kind of better way out, instead of following them, I might as well follow the eldest brother to be a horse servant." www.biquge.info He smiled, "Although we don't know if we are of the same clan now, we are better than brothers, so why should I go to others." ”

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei calmly met his gaze, and slowly, a smile bloomed from the corner of their eyes. Liu Xiu stood up and gently patted Liu Bei's shoulder: "In that case, you can copy it well first, and I'll look for you at night." ”

Liu Bei squeezed his eyes: "You can't bear to see me alone, why don't you find someone to help me copy?" ”

"You're so stupid." Liu Xiu came over and muttered a few words in his ear, Liu Bei suddenly realized, got up in a hurry, walked to Lu Zhi's door, and asked respectfully: "Sir, the disciple has something unclear, dare to ask Mr. for guidance!" ”

Although Lu Zhi said that he was holding a book in his hand, he was actually very irritable in his heart, he had a lot of questions, and he had some bad premonitions, he wanted to ask Liu Xiu for an understanding, but Liu Xiu pushed it to the Son of Heaven with a word, the mystery was not solved, but it was more serious, at this time, where could he still read the book, and he heard that Liu Bei copied the book and copied out the suspicious points, so he put down the book and let Liu Bei in. Liu Bei started with a question, and followed Lu Zhi's answer, leading him step by step. This academic question is a question that can never be understood, no matter which Confucian, it is impossible to answer all the questions, if you meet a student who asks the bottom of the matter and then has a little nonsense, all the Confucianism will be stuck.

What should I do if I get stuck? Of course, I went to the book to find the answer first. Lu Zhi went to flip through the book, and of course he had to use the only set of "Three Rites Explanations" first, and Liu Bei couldn't copy it.

So Liu Bei's suffering was temporarily relieved.

Liu Xiu returned to his backroom. Wang Chu was sitting with Fengxue, and Fengxue had an apple in his left hand. Half a sheep tui in the right hand. was eating happily, and when he saw Liu Xiu coming in, he hurriedly put down the food in his hand and wiped his hands. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Chu saw that the smile on Liu Xiu's face was a little unnatural. Hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter, I didn't talk well with Mr.?" ”

Feng Xue heard this, and then noticed Liu Xiu's strangeness. I can't help but be a little nervous.

"It's okay." Liu Xiu waved his hand. laughed. He told him that he wanted Lu Zhi to go to Chang'an School to make sacrificial wine, but Lu Zhi insisted on returning to Zhuo County. When Wang Chu heard this, he also scratched his head a little: "This is what Mr. means that he is dissatisfied with you, but it is not easy to say clearly." What annoyed him about? ”

"I don't know he's dissatisfied, but it's not that I'm hiding it from him, it's that he doesn't understand." Liu Xiu sighed: "Sir's knowledge is good. But he always looks at people too kindly. There are some things that can't be said, just his temper. If I tell him, he must not make a big fuss? ”

Wang Chu couldn't help but be taken aback, what kind of temper Liu Xiu is, she knows it too well, it can be said that she is not afraid of things, and now she is afraid that Lu Zhi will make trouble and deliberately hide it from Lu Zhi, and would rather let Lu Zhi be angry, then this matter will definitely not be small.

"By the way, how is your father's health?" Liu Xiu broke the silence, "I can only stay in Luoyang for two days, and I will rush back to Chang'an soon." I haven't seen your eldest father for so long, but I've met your parents, so let's hurry up and go. ”

Wang Chu didn't allow any reason, so he hurriedly got up and went to arrange the gifts. Fengxue saw Wang Chu's happy look, and remembered that his family was thousands of miles away, and his eyes immediately moistened.

"Ah Xue, don't cry, you see that you are going to be a mother soon, why are you still crying." Liu Xiu hugged Fengxue in his arms, put a look in her eyes, and said softly: "I know that you are alone, but I don't care enough about you. I swear to you, after the child is 100 years old next year, I will take you to Chang'an, and I will not be separated in the future, okay? ”

Although there were a lot of maids beside her, the women on the grassland didn't pay much attention to these etiquettes, and although Fengxue was a little embarrassed, she was reluctant to leave Liu Xiu's warm embrace. She choked up, "I...... I want to go now. ”

"Now?" Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing, stroked her round belly, and snickered: "Thousands of miles of mountain roads, how can it be so easy to walk, in case something happens, how will Abba blame you at that time?" Stay in Luoyang with peace of mind, give birth to a healthy child, and make Abba happy and happy when the time comes, okay? ”

When it came to the wind crack, the longing in Feng Xue's eyes was even stronger: "I don't know what happened to Abba." ”

"Abba's fine." Liu Xiu added fuel to the news that Xi Zhicai brought back, and promised to accompany her back to the grassland whenever he had the opportunity.

……

In the small pavilion near the water in the backyard of the Wang family, Wang Bao lay on a chair, shrunk in a thick quilt, motionless, his thin face was covered with brown old age spots, and his breath was weak, and it took a long time to hear a gurgling sound in his throat and eyes. Wang Yu hurriedly handed over the spittoon, Wang Bao sat up like a tense bow, coughed for a while, and held back his face to the red, then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and lay down again.

"Sit!" Wang Bao waved his hand and motioned for Liu Xiu to sit beside him. Liu Xiu still sat down, Wang Bao stretched out his hand to cover Liu Xiu's hand, Liu Xiu held him with his backhand, these big hands were once very thick and powerful, but now only a layer of loose skin was left hanging on the bones.

"I ......" Wang Bao pointed to his xiongkou, his eyes stared at Liu Xiu, his eyes were cloudy, but Liu Xiu clearly felt that this old man had already seen through everything: "It's been a few days." After I died, according to the custom, they all had to resign from their official positions to mourn and help their souls return to their hometowns. He patted Liu Xiu's hand: "I won't come back." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and didn't say anything, just pinched Wang Bao's palm with his hand. Wang Bao smiled, and turned his gaze to Wang Chu again: "Ah Chu, you are blessed, you have found a good husband, and in your busy schedule, you haven't forgotten to come and see me, an old man." Be content. ”

Wang Chu wiped his tears and held Wang Bao's hand in his hand: "Father......"

"Okay, who can live for a hundred years? Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Wang Bao laughed heartily, and her face flushed with cháo, "I have so many sons and daughters, grandchildren. When I think about it, only your marriage is the most satisfying to me. ”

Wang Chu turned his head and glanced at Liu Xiu. I remembered how my eldest father and father refused. Now he said such things, for fear that Liu Xiu would despise it. Liu Xiu's face was solemn, and he didn't have any smile on his face, just listened quietly.

"Alright. You have a lot to do, so you don't have to accompany me. Wang Bao looked at Liu Xiu. However, the pit you dug cannot be discarded casually. Give it to those who need it. ”

Wang Yu's father and son were puzzled. Looking at each other, Liu Xiu's brows trembled, and then he understood: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Wang Bao seemed to see them in his eyes, laughed, and then coughed again. He coughed while waving his hand to signal Liu Xiu and Wang Chu to take care of themselves. Wang Yu and Wang Bin stepped forward to obey him. Liu Xiu stood aside and watched for a moment, then bowed and saluted. Then he said in Wang Chu's ear: "You accompany the eldest father more, and then go home by yourself, I will have something to do." ”

Wang Chu glanced at him, a little unhappy in his heart. Grandfather is already like this, I guess this time may be the last time we will meet, what is he still busy doing at this time? She didn't like it in her heart, but she didn't want to tell Liu Xiu in front of her family, so she just lowered her eyelids and held Liu Xiu's hand. Wang Bao coughed for a while, turned his head and saw that Liu Xiu was still there, and his already sparse eyebrows lifted: "Why are you still there?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, broke free of Wang Chu's hand, arched his hand, and turned to leave. Wang Bao looked at Wang Chu, then at Wang Yu's father and son, and muttered: "A group of fools!" He lay back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Wang Yu and the others looked at each other.

Liu Xiu left the Wang family and went straight to Jian Shuo's mansion. Jian Shuo's house is in the north of Luoyang, not far from the west of Wang's house, it is also a coincidence, Jian Shuo happened to rest today, and when he heard that Liu Xiu was coming, he was very surprised. Although they have a good relationship, they rarely visit the house, in order to prevent being suspicious of the Son of Heaven.

Jian Shuo hesitated for a moment, feeling that Liu Xiu's sudden visit, I am afraid that it was not as simple as coming to see him on a whim, so he hurriedly rushed to the gate to greet him.

"Alas, you are so polite, how can I bear it." Liu Xiu entered the door, took Jian Shuo's arm and walked in, and laughed loudly. Jian Shuo smiled slightly: "You are General Wei, above Jiuqing, I am just an inner shi, how can I mess up the etiquette." ”

Liu Xiu patted his thick back vigorously and looked up and down: "It's a pity, with your body, if you don't wait for Your Majesty in the palace, but fight on the battlefield, you would have made meritorious service and made a marquis." ”

"General Wei, don't make fun of me." Jian Shuo wiped his tears half-truthfully.

"It's not to make fun of you." Liu Xiu said solemnly: "I am about to return to Chang'an to preside over the affairs of the expedition to Qiang, and I want to ask Your Majesty to arrange a prison army, how about it, are you interested?" ”

"Overseers?" Jian Shuo looked at Liu Xiu with some suspicion: "Your Majesty trusts General Wei, why did General Wei suddenly have this idea?" ”

"I know that Your Majesty trusts me, but some people are slandering me, they say that I am self-respecting and have the heart of disobedience to one side." Liu Xiu let go of Jian Shuo and sighed: "Although I am annoyed, I also know that this is human nature. You see that my husband only brought 30,000 soldiers, and Zuo Feng's slander can remove my husband's officer. I am not only concerned with the Huya Battalion and the Fufeng Battalion, but also the Qianghan Battalion in Liangzhou, with more than 30,000 people under my command? In the future, there will be more people who make irresponsible remarks in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty may not say anything, but what if others say that Your Majesty is biased? As courtiers, we would rather suffer a little grievance ourselves than embarrass Your Majesty, don't you say? Besides, I don't have the world wide in my heart, and whether or not I have a prison army is no different to me. It's just that there is such an opportunity, of course I want to pick a prison army that can really fight, so as to save time to drag me down, don't you say? ”

Jian Shuo listened and smiled. If there is a big chaos today, there are not one or two generals with heavy troops, but Liu Xiu is definitely the one with the heaviest military power in his hands, if you want to say that the Son of Heaven is not worried, it is false, but the Son of Heaven has already sent an ambush, and it is not good to send another supervisor. Because of this, it is not easy for him to send the prison army to Huangfu Song and Yuan Shu, the army is outside, and the heart of the Son of Heaven is also up and down. Now Liu Xiu took the initiative to ask the Son of Heaven to send a prison army, which can be said to be in the hands of the Son of Heaven. Liu Xiu gave him this opportunity, of course, he also gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions.

"It's still General Wei's loyalty to the country." Jian Shuo said with a smile. Ask Liu Xiu to sit down in the hall and order someone to serve wine.

"This is how a courtier should be." Liu Xiu took a sip of wine, and then continued: "We martial artists are not afraid of bloody battles, but we are afraid of being stabbed in the court. than punches and feet. Who are we afraid of? But I can't stop those people from quoting scriptures and using saints as shields. Behind the scenes, men rob and prostitute women. but his mouth is full of righteousness. Playing this hand, to be honest, we warriors are not their opponents. ”

Although Liu Xiu didn't say who it was, Jian Shuo knew it. Nodding his head again and again. Not to mention that he and Liu Xiu have always been friends, only on this point. They also have enough common language.

The two talked speculatively, and Liu Xiu mentioned the resignation of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He. After Lu Zhi was recruited as a lieutenant, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He wrote to resign from the post of lieutenant. The Son of Heaven is not allowed. But it's easy to make people not officials. It's really not easy to force people to be officials, and for this reason, the Son of Heaven was angry, saying that they only had Liu Xiu in their eyes, and there was no court. Now that he heard Liu Xiu mention this, Jian Shuo also became serious. Relay the reaction of the Son of Heaven to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was very aggrieved: "I know that Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan and I have a good relationship. Whatever their intentions, the account will surely settle on my head. I don't want to argue, and I'm going to recruit them to Guanzhong right away. But what I want to remind you is that these two captains can't fall into the hands of the Yuan family, otherwise the Northern Army will ......."

Jian Shuo smiled bitterly: "Since you know, why did you transfer these two people?" ”

"You're wrong. My husband has been squeezed out, what's the use of both of them here? Wherever they are, they'll be considered my men, so I might as well transfer them to my side. Liu Xiu leaned forward: "Although there are many scholars attached to the Yuan family, there is not one around you." This Northern Army...... It's better to be in the hands of the Son of Heaven. ”

Jian Shuo's eyes rolled, and he suddenly understood. On the one hand, Liu Xiu is to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, he is to give them a chance. If the eunuchs can occupy two seats in the Northern Army, plus Cao Cāo, who belongs to the line of Empress Song, the power in the palace will prevail in the Northern Army, and if he follows Liu Xiu and makes meritorious contributions - this is obviously not doubtful - who is the most important military power in this palace in the future? Of course, he's so big.

"General Wei's great kindness, I can't repay it." Jian Shuo sighed and raised his wine glass with both hands: "Please General Wei drink this cup full." ”

……

"Liu Xiu said that?" The Son of Heaven stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Jian Shuo in a daze, with a trace of satisfied smile lines blooming in the corners of his eyes. Liu Xiu asked for the prison army, to be honest, if the prison army sent could not satisfy him, no one could guarantee that this bold guy would not let the prison army die in the chaos. But Liu Xiu withdrew Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He from the Northern Army not to express his anger at Lu Zhi's dismissal, but to let him, the son of heaven, control the Northern Army more directly, which made him very happy.

"General Wei's loyalty can be seen." Jian Shuo hurriedly said.

The Son of Heaven put down his hand and stood up, shaking his waist while nodding with a smile: "When he said this, it seems to have some truth." Lu Zhi was dismissed, and the northern army could be handed over to the hussar general to take care of, and the infantry captain and the tun cavalry captain had to find two suitable candidates. Think about it, who can do it? ”

Jian Shuo glanced at Zhao Zhong, who was standing on the other side: "Your Majesty, how did you forget that Zhao Changshi's younger brother Zhao Yan has been the captain of the city gate for more than ten years, loyal and law-abiding, and has never made a mistake?" ”

The Son of Heaven blinked and looked back at Zhao Zhong. "yes, your brother seems to be a good fit."

Zhao Zhong was also thinking about this, but he didn't expect Jian Shuo to take the initiative to mention his younger brother. Although the captain of the city gate is also more than 2,000 stones, he only has twelve city gate guards in his hand, and he has no chance of meritorious service, and he is far worse than the captain of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army who can lead troops to fight. As soon as he saw Jian Shuo taking the initiative to show his goodwill, of course he couldn't accept it in vain, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Although the courtier brother is cautious, he is more than brave, but he is a little far from the tiger servant shè Jianwu. It is said that the Jian Wu cavalry battle and the foot battle all have the true legend of Jian Shuo. ”

"Your brother?" The Son of Heaven laughed. Although Jian Shuo is a eunuch, he is strong and has good martial arts, which he knows, and it is reasonable to say that Jian Shuo's younger brother has martial arts.

"It's my brother." Jian Shuo wiped his eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "Since my uncle was killed, my younger brother has been dependent on me for his life. He practiced martial arts, originally to take revenge, but the minister persuaded him, hoping that he could use this martial arts to serve His Majesty, which made him a tiger benlang. ”

The Son of Heaven stopped smiling and sighed with some emotion. Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu was killed by Cao Cāo, Jian Wu practiced martial arts in order to take revenge, which was in line with Chun Qiu's righteousness, but Jian Shuo was able to persuade him not to expand the situation, and it seemed that Jian Shuo was loyal to the country and thought about him as the son of heaven. Cao Cāo is from the Song Dynasty's line, and Cao Cāo's father is one of the Jiuqing, so if something really happens, he will be very embarrassed.

"You're all my humerus." The Son of Heaven sighed: "Let Zhao Yan and Jian Wu take office." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo thanked each other at the same time, then glanced at each other and nodded understandingly.

……

"Zhao Yan is an infantry captain, and Jian Wu is a cavalry captain?" Yuan Shao was furious and slapped his palm on the case: "These two people are eunuchs, they know what to fight, how can they be captains of the Northern Army?" ”

He Yong was also very angry, as soon as the news of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He's resignation came out, they were ready to recommend their own people to fill the vacancy, wanting to firmly grasp the Northern Army in their own hands, but they didn't expect the Son of Heaven to appoint two eunuch children. In this way, Liu Xiu's power was completely withdrawn from Luoyang, but the power of the eunuchs increased significantly.

"One more thing." He Yong clenched his fists and sighed: "Dong Zhuo was appointed as the general of Dongzhong Lang, taking over the task of Lu Zhi, obeying the orders of the hussar general, and will be mainly responsible for the war against the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou. ”

"How can it be!" Yuan Shao couldn't hold back any longer, kicked over the desk in front of him, and roared.
