Yuan Shao said with a solemn expression: "If the court really abolish the history of the state pastor, it is the way to take chaos, and the state pastor will support the army and respect himself, and disobey the orders of the court, and in the long run, the country will not be a country." ”

Although the eldest son Yuan Shao is a concubine, he has been smart since he was a child, Yuan Feng is very happy, and his words are even more in line with his heart, and he really does things in the General's Mansion, and his insights are different from ordinary people.

Yuan Feng nodded and said: "The court will delegate the power to the locality, and if you want to take it back in the future, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. Primordial, highway, you understand today that your father has spent all his family resources in the past few years to build the Yuan family's private army, in the troubled times, if you want to live in peace, you have no food and no soldiers in your hands, how can you get your wish? ”

In recent years, the Yuan family has spared no effort in recruiting private troops, it can be said that they have exhausted their family resources, nominally in response to the call of the court, recruiting village warriors, and resisting the Yellow Turbans, but in fact they are only expanding their strength, except for participating in individual sporadic bandit battles, Yuan Shi's private army has not been on the battlefield at all. But the Yuan clan didn't buy it, thinking that Yuan Feng was working hard and hurting money, and his efforts were thankless, and Yuan Feng was completely under the pressure of the clan and arranged a road for the Yuan family to dominate the world.

Yuan Shao said movingly: "The child today knows that his father is painstakingly lonely, and the child is willing to only look forward to his father's horse and serve his life." ”

Yuan Feng sighed and shook his head and said: "For my father, I am already a person who knows the destiny of heaven, and I am finally weak if I have the heart, this foundation will be left to you two brothers, I hope you can unite sincerely." Gather one heart and break out of a world that belongs to the Yuan family, and the father can also be blind under the nine springs. ”

Yuan Shao arched his hand and said: "The child will live up to his father's hopes." ”

Yuan Shu was not far behind and said: "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely create a great cause in the troubled times to glorify the lintel of the Yuan family." ”

Liu Ze returned to the mansion, quite depressed, he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Yuan Feng was selling in this gourd, he said that Yuan Feng was generous and sincere, but acting like this, this good old man also overdid it. Whether it is family background, prestige, status. No matter what, Yuan Feng couldn't bend his waist to him.

Zhang Fei was very happy today, not only won the battle against Ji Ling, the general of the Yuan family, but even Yuan Feng, a servant of a high-ranking official, was polite, which made Zhang Fei feel more face.

Guan Yu's face sank like water. There are no waves in the ancient well. said lightly: "According to a certain opinion." It's not necessarily a good thing. ”

Liu Ze was very interested, and said, "Yun Chang seems to have other insights, let's hear about it." ”

Guan Yu said: "The little brother is also speculating. Thinking that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have a respected status, but this time they are condescending to the nobles, accompanying all the smiling faces, saying all the good things, it is contrary to common sense, how do you know if they secretly harbor evil intentions, the eldest brother has to guard against it. ”

Liu Ze turned his head to Jia Xu and said, "What do you think of Wenhe?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his short beard and said: "In my opinion, the Yuan family may not have any conspiracy, with the situation at that time, if the Yuan family turns its face, there is no taboo, and the only thing that makes Yuan Feng jealous is probably only the identity of the lord." ”

Liu Ze smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just a mere captain, this kind of official who is more than 2,000 stones is in the sea in Luoyang City, even if a brick falls from the city wall, I'm afraid it can hit several, what kind of family status does the Yuan family have, and it depends on my face to do things?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Yes, although the lord's status is low, who is the lord?" The first person to break the yellow scarf, if the court really rewards meritorious deeds, it will definitely be a soaring skyrocket, the Yuan family has been an official in the court for a long time, I am afraid that he has already smelled something, otherwise he would not value the lord so much. ”

Liu Ze secretly said in his heart, even if Emperor Han Ling has the heart to reward him, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass Zhang Rang's level, Zhang Rang and himself are now on the same footing, and they have repeatedly made difficulties, this time they will be kind?

While they were talking, the butler came in and reported, "My lord, is there someone outside the door who wants to see you?" ”

Liu Ze was a little curious, who would come at this time, and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?" ”

The housekeeper handed over the name post, and Liu Ze took it to see that it was actually He Hao, the speaker of the Lang. He Hao is the brother of the general He Jin, one of He Jin's rare cronies, and he can be regarded as a famous man in the late Han Dynasty, but he has never intersected with him. Liu Ze instructed the housekeeper to invite He Hao to the middle hall to wait for a while, and wait for him to be met after his loose clothes.

Liu Ze frowned and said, "He Hao is the person of the great general He Jin, but I don't know what is the matter with coming to me at this time?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "The intention is actually very obvious, He Jin sent someone to visit at this time, and he had the heart to attract the lord." ”

Liu Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had been in the capital for so many years, and it was the first time he enjoyed such courtesy, first the servant Yuan Fengba was in the front, and then the general He Jin was recruited behind.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, it seems that this bird is really not easy to be. You sit down for a while, and I'll go and meet him. ”

He Hao was already waiting there, and when he saw Liu Ze just entering the middle hall, he bowed and said, "He Hao has seen Runde Gong." ”

Liu Ze returned the salute and said, "I am an official in the same dynasty as He Yilang, why do you need such a big gift and kill me." ”

He Hao said: "I don't respect the name of Runde Gong, it is actually Runde Gongjing to eliminate the thief chaos, the head of the thief, and return my Han Dynasty's Lang Lang Qiankun Taiping and prosperous times, the most respected hero in his life is the hero, there is such a hero as Runde Gong, why worry about the instability of my Han foundation." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "He Yilang praised it falsely, a little bit of effort, why worry about it." Take a seat and watch the tea. ”

Liu Ze held the tea bowl, leisurely tasted tea, said a few nonsense words that were not painful, itchy and nutritious, and waited for He Hao to get down to business. He Hao really didn't have any patience to talk about it, and after a few cold words, he went straight to the point: "Runde Gong returned to Beijing this time, his merit is better than Wei Huo, and he is a marquis and a general, which is reasonable, but I don't know what kind of position Runde Gong wills belong?" ”

"He Yilang laughed, how to reward is decided by the emperor, how can we, who are courtiers, be proud of our merits and invite rewards." Liu Ze looked as usual, and said with a calm smile.

He Hao smiled slightly and said: "Now the ten permanent servants are in chaos, the dynasty is collapsing, and the loyal and upright people have no way to serve." Although this time the power covers the world, there are Zhang Rang and other eunuchs who make a stumbling block, but I am afraid that Runde Gong will not be reused by the emperor. ”

Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "So very good, in the next was originally indifferent to fame and fortune, fame and wealth, to me like floating clouds, today has been decided, in the next willing to resign and go into hiding, a leaf flat boat, between the waves and the landscape, the wish of life is enough." ”

He Hao was stunned, he never expected Liu Ze to say this, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric before, but there was no answer at this moment, and he said dumbly: "Runde Gong is so young and in his prime, when it is Kuang Fu Sheji and making contributions, he also has the idea of the world?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Fang Cai He Yilang is not a man of words, the dynasty is corrupt, how many Qingliu scholars do not want to go with it, they would rather be exiled to the mountains and rivers and lakes, and Ze also has this wish." ”

He Haoxi said: "It turns out that Runde Gong has the idea of abandoning the world, which is related to the eunuch party, but in fact, it doesn't hurt, there is a plan, which can make Runde Gong avoid the disaster of Zhongjuan." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"The general He Jin is a relative of the emperor, and even the emperor is mostly relied on, and he is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, even if the ten permanent servants are powerful, they dare not openly oppose the general. If Runde Gong is willing to join hands with the general, why not be afraid of the eunuchs! ”

Liu Ze smiled faintly, in fact, He Hao came to the door today, naturally he came to be a lobbyist, which was expected, I didn't expect the general He Jin to value himself so much, He Hao's wording is also quite exquisite, not to say that the recruitment, not to say the effect, partial use of the word hand in hand, what kind of identity is the general He Jin, although the position is the same as the third duke, but compared to the false title of the third duke, the general is really in the power faction, in charge of the world's military power, in this troubled times, more respectful, can join hands with a small cavalry captain, changed the ordinary people, I was already flattered.

But Liu Ze understands very well, what is He Jin, a reckless man from a butcher's background, sitting in the position of a general, relying not on his ability but on nepotism, without Queen He, he is not a fart.

It's not that Liu Ze looks down on his relatives, regardless of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of his relatives is quite strong, and he is also the only one who can compete with the eunuch power for hundreds of years, and there are many elite people among them, such as Wei Qing, Huo Quai, Huo Guang, close to Dou Xian, Liang Ji, or live side by side in power, serve inside, participate in discussions, and admonish the government; or the general army to resist foreign invaders and maintain law and order; or Dunshang Confucianism, recruiting talents; Or the breeze is bright, self-discipline governs the country, and works diligently. However, it is undeniable that the foreign relatives are a corrupt force after all, controlling the center and manipulating national politics; forming gangs and forming factions and comparing them as parties; playing conspiracy and arbitrarily judging the government; tyrannical and corrupt, filthy palace.

Among them, He Jin can be regarded as a strange scar, with military power, in charge of heavy troops, and dealing with the eunuch eunuch party who can be solved by only one jailer, but he attracted Dong Zhuo, a butcher with the heart of a tiger and wolf, so Cao Cao commented that He Jin is also a troublemaker in the world. And He Jin himself was so stupid that he was in danger and was ambushed by the eunuchs.

Liu Ze was not at all interested in this kind of useless minister, and said indifferently: "General He is wrongly loved, and he is not very frightened below, but he is a humble official below, insignificant, and really worthy of being compared with a general." ”

He Hao said: "Before leaving, the general has a word first, Runde Gong pacified the Yellow Turban this time, Kuang Fu Sheji, the merit is in the future, even if the eunuch party obstructs, the general must fight to the death, and Bao Runde Gong will take the position." It's just that I don't know if Runde Gong wants to stay in the court or seek a foreign appointment, if he wants to stay in the court, the general will recommend Runde Gong to serve as a former general or right general, if he wants to ask for a foreign appointment, the prefectures and counties in the world will be selected by Runde Gong.
