Chapter 8 The Elites of the Han Court

Liu's Mansion Lobby

After everyone took their seats one by one, Liu Tai obeyed Liu Yan's instructions and sat down at the bottom left, while Liu Fan sat at the bottom right.

Since ancient times, the left is respected during festive activities, the court deliberates, the murderous condolences are respected by the right, the left is respected, and the left is humble, as the eldest son, Liu Fan should have sat on the lower left, but Liu Yan didn't care, and ignored Liu Fan's dissatisfaction at all, and Liu Yan just didn't see it in the face of Liu Fan's cold expression. (The festive event is to respect the left, don't dwell on it here, thank you.) )

"All old friends don't have to be polite, this time Junlang can find his lost son, it is a fluke, Junlang first respects the old friends for a cup." Liu Yan laughed, raised the wine glass on the case, and said in one gulp.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Brother Junlang has been reluctant to go to Jizhou for a long time, it turns out that he is reluctant to find his beloved son." The old man sitting in the first place on the lower left smiled with a smile.

"Bo Kai made fun of the old man, hey, now that his beloved son has returned, he doesn't say that he has to go north, and I don't know when he will be able to get together with all his old friends." Liu Yan said with a slightly sad expression.

Liu Tai, who was sitting at the bottom left of Liu Yan, had his eyes lit up, glanced at the handsome middle-aged man known as Bo Kai, and muttered in his heart: "So this is Cai Yong?" I don't know how old Cai Yan is now. ”

"Junlang's promotion from the county guard to the assassin is a great joy to be promoted, and when Junlang returns, won't it be time for us to get together?" A big man with a tiger's back and a bear waist and wearing a court robe laughed and said.

"Hey, don't say anything sad, the former flipper took up the post of Shangshu, and we haven't celebrated yet." Liu Yan said to the big man with a smile.

"Shangshu?" The man known as Zigan was Lu Zhi, the head of the generals of the late Han Dynasty, and he heard Liu Yan's words, but Lu Zhi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Now that the eunuchs of the court are in power, as a scholar, there is nothing to do, so there is nothing to do." Lu Zhi said with a sigh.

"Yes, now that the eunuchs are in chaos, although we have thousands of abilities, there is nowhere to do it." A middle-aged man in a white robe said.

Liu Yan, who was sitting at the top, saw the bitter look on the faces of his colleagues, shook his head, sighed and said: "Old friends, today we only talk about Fengyue, not about state affairs. ”

"Hey... I almost forgot, Tai'er lost his head injury a few days ago, and all the uncles are afraid that they have forgotten, so I will introduce it to you for my father. Liu Yan patted his forehead, turned his head slightly, and said with a smile to Liu Tai who was at the bottom left.

Cai Yong and the others heard Liu Yan's words, and only then did they remember that they almost forgot the protagonist Liu Tai today, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "We are useless and remnants, what can we do." ”

"Bo Kai's words are wrong, everyone is Uncle Tai'er's generation, if they don't know each other in the future, what kind of system will they become." Liu Yan said jokingly.

"Tai'er, come, this is Cai Yong Cai Bokai, who is a famous calligrapher and musician in my Han Dynasty."

"Tai has met Lord Cai." Liu Tai said respectfully to Cai Yong.

"Good, good, no need to be polite." Cai Yong said with a smile on his face, although Old Man Cai is notoriously bad-tempered, Liu Tai is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, although he looks like he is in his twenties.

"Well, this is the famous general Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan of my great Han Dynasty, doesn't Tai'er like the art of war, and he should be close to Lord Lu." After Liu Tai finished saluting Cai Yong, Liu Yan continued.

"Tai has seen Lord Lu." Liu Tai naturally had no opinion on the most upright general in the late Han Dynasty, and hurriedly said to the end.

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Tai's tiger on his back, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, and he laughed and said: "I don't think that Junlang is a literati, and he can give birth to such a tiger general, it's really a blessing for my big man, hurry, Tai'er, please get up quickly." ”

"Zigan said and laughed, Tai'er is just tall, he doesn't have the slightest battlefield experience, and it's not a shame to go to the battlefield." Although he belittled Liu Tai in his mouth, Liu Yan's face was full of smiles.

"Oh? Experience? Well, I wonder if Tai'er is willing to go to war? Lu Zhi rolled his eyes, and asked silently without waiting for Liu Yan to continue to introduce.

"Battlefield?" Liu Tai's eyes lit up for a moment, and he said excitedly: "Tai'er is naturally willing, I hope that Lu Gong will be successful." ”

"Tell, Hugh is talking nonsense." Liu Yan was a little anxious, and finally got Liu Tai back, if he was let go to the battlefield, then I don't know when we would meet again.

"Junlang, everyone has their own aspirations, I look at Liu Ergongzi, when I heard General Lu Lao talk about the battlefield, the second son's expression was excited, and I think that the second son is also very hopeful, and he can go to the battlefield to make contributions to the country." An old man in a black robe said with a smile.

"Jingsheng, hey...."Liu Yan originally hoped that Liu Tai would join the army, so naturally he would not stop it more, but he was a little reluctant, seeing that Liu Biao was old in peace, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and no longer blocked it.

"Since Junlang no longer objected, how about the old Ming Dynasty recommend Tai'er to His Majesty and go to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang?" Lu Zhi said with a smile.

"Hey, okay, okay, there has been no war in Northern Xinjiang recently, Tai'er must not go too deep into the barbarian land when he goes to Northern Xinjiang, his own safety should be the most important." Liu Yan's love for his son was heartfelt, and when he saw that Liu Tai was really happy, he didn't dissuade him, so he nodded reluctantly and said.

Lu Zhi, who was sitting there, heard Liu Yan say that there was no war in Northern Xinjiang, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say much.

"Come, Tai'er, this is your uncle Liu Biao Liu Jingsheng, one of the Eight Horses, famous in the sea, and he should be close to him in the future."

"I've seen my uncle." Liu Tai glanced at Liu Biao, and then bowed and saluted, although Liu Biao said that he was a feudal official, but now he is just an ordinary Han clan relative, and it is not easy to get close.

"This is Yuan Kui, Yuan Ciyang...."

"I've seen Lord Yuan"

"This is Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu..."

"I've seen Master Tao"

"This is Zheng Xuan, Zheng Kangcheng...."

"I've seen Master Zheng...."

"This is Wang Yun, the prince's teacher...."

"I've seen Lord Wang..."

"This is a horse and a cicada...."

"I've seen Master Ma..."

"This is Zhang Wen...."

"I've seen...."

Half an hour later, Liu Tai, who had a dry mouth, finally returned to his seat, as for the following group of celebrities, they were also recognized one by one, almost Liu Tai's ministers who were able to be auspicious, except for Cao Ying and Yuan Shao's younger generation, all of them were present, which can be described as a small court meeting.

"Liu Gongzi doesn't say that he will go to Northern Xinjiang, how about Junlang set a marriage for him? It's good that the second son has a hope in northern Xinjiang. When the court was the prince, Yuan Kui, one of the three princes, said with a smile.

"Ciyang's words are very good, but my little Yan'er has only been born for three years now, hey...."Cai Yong, who loves to coax and has a bad temper, said with a depressed face, although Cai Yong looks upright and doesn't like to go around the bend, but who can sit here is not an old fox?

"What about a three-year-old? Isn't Liu Gongzi only twelve or thirteen years old, looking at the old decay, it is the most suitable. Tao Qian, a good old man, coaxed beside him.
