"Ahh Yingchuan Taishou's status is the same as Lin Hai's, and the shock to Lin Hai can be imagined, if it really falls into the hands of the Xiliang Army, I am afraid that the end will be not much different from Li Min.

Liu Ze secretly laughed in his heart, and only slightly intimidated, Lin Hai was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. "So after Lin Guoxiang goes to the battlefield, he must be very careful, don't fall into the hands of the Xiliang army. But...... Xiliang Iron Riding is famous all over the world, and ten thousand horsemen come out together, the sound is like thunder, and it is unstoppable. Lin Guoxiang has never seen the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and he can appreciate it when he goes west this time. ”

Lin Hai's legs were visibly trembling, and although it was still the middle of winter, his cheeks and forehead were already densely covered with beads of sweat.

"On the battlefield, it is so dangerous, it seems that this time to send troops, the appearance has to be reconsidered."

Hearing Lin Hai retreat, Liu Ze laughed secretly and said: "Lin Guoxiang, since you are a protégé of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao raised troops this time, if you don't send troops to help, Yuan Shao will win and return in the future, I'm afraid I won't give up on you, right?" To put it lightly, it is to stand by and stay out of the matter, and to say it is to ignore the general righteousness and condone the traitor, if someone really wants to be held accountable, it is not as simple as losing his official position. ”

Lin Hai's face was as pale as paper at this time, and he hesitated again and again. Hesitation.

"This ...... It's not going to be forward, it's not going to be back, what should I do? ”

At this time, Liu Ze suddenly asked him: "How much is Lin Guoxiang Guigeng?" ”

Lin Hai was also stunned for a moment, and asked Liu Ze why he was getting old, but it was strange and strange, he still told the truth. "The prime minister is fifty-two today, and he has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven."

Liu Ze said earnestly: "Lin Xiang is already a person who knows the destiny of heaven, and it should be the time when he is sharing his family with his knees, and the swords, swords, and shadows on the battlefield are bloody and bloody." And how is it a place where such a noble person as Lin Xiang comes in person? Moreover, the sword and arrow have no eyes. If there are really three long and two short, Lin Xiang's wife and children, and concubine, I am afraid that I will really be heartbroken. The brutality of the Xiliang soldiers was seen by the lower officials with their own eyes. Far from alarmist. Lin Xiangzhen wanted to go. Even the lower officials were worried about Lin Xiang's safety. ”

"Yes...... If you don't send troops, how will Ben Chugong's side explain? ”

"Lin Xiang, Fang Jin's world. Don't you realize something? Dong Zhuo is good at abolishing the Son of Heaven, treating the Son of Heaven as nothing, the princes are swarming, dominating one side, the orders of the court are not implemented, and the trend of the troubled times is clearly revealed. If Lin Xiang returns to Yuan, he will be jealous of the Dong family, if he is Shun Dong, he will be hated by the Yuan family, and he wants to meet the source left and right, but in the end he can only be struggling left and right, and if he wants to be a mediocre official in this troubled world, it is difficult! ”

Lin Hai pondered and meditated, bowed his head and muttered for a long time, and suddenly said: "If I resign and go into hiding, if I don't wade into this troubled water, won't I be in a dilemma?" ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "Lin Xiang is already in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, life is short, how many can know the destiny of heaven?" In troubled times, the strong are respected, and if you can't be strong, you can only be fish and meat under other people's swords. Lin Hai has been an official for many years, and the way in this is naturally not necessary to say more, the torrent retreats and enjoys wealth and prosperity, which is indeed the best policy. ”

Lin Hai suddenly realized, he couldn't say how easy it was, and bowed to Liu Ze and said: "Liu Duwei's good words made Lin Mou suddenly open up, and he benefited a lot." Retreating and avoiding the disaster is indeed the best choice. Lin went back to the court to tell the old man to return to his hometown, this seal and the right to be kept by Lin Duwei, the affairs of the country also asked Lin Duwei to be the acting for the time being, Lin will also recommend Lin Duwei to serve as the minister of state in the chapter. With that, Lin Haizhong took off the seal ribbon from his waist and handed it to Liu Ze.

Liu Ze hurriedly shirked and said, "How can you dare to accept the seal of this country?" What's more, the position of the prime minister is appointed by the court, how dare the subordinate officials trespass? ”

Lin Hai smiled bitterly: "Now that the government is controlled by Dong Zhuo, the government is chaotic and the country is ruined, and the court decrees are in vain. With Liu Duwei's prestige, it is well deserved to take over Lin's position as state minister, and I ask Lin Duwei not to shirk it. ”

Liu Ze didn't believe that Lin Hai's words were from the bottom of his heart, but the situation forced Lin Hai to give way, took the seal ribbon at the moment, and said with a smile: "In this way, the official will keep it for the time being, and wait for the new minister of state to take over the handover." ”

Lin Hai's expression was quite apprehensive, and he said a few words before leaving.

Liu Ping has been idle at home since he was removed from his post by Gong Jing, although most of the land was confiscated by Liu Ze, but the Liu family is honest, and there is no need to worry about their livelihood, but the depression in their hearts is difficult to dissipate for a long time. I consulted with Lin Hai several times, but was comforted by Lin Hai every time and asked him to wait with peace of mind. Liu Ping had no choice but to borrow wine every day to drown his sorrows.

When Squire Qian and Squire Sun came to him, Liu Ping was drunk and hazy.

Liu ...... Master, something is wrong, Lin Guoxiang handed over the seal ribbon and prepared to return home! ”

"What?" Liu Ping's wine woke up, and Lin Hai was their only hope in the plain. "Really?"

"Can this be fake? Lin Guoxiang had handed over the seal ribbon to Liu Ze, and was already packing his luggage and preparing to return to his hometown. Squire Qian said with a bitter face.

Liu Pingteng stood up, put on his coat haphazardly, and hurried towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. The squires followed suit.

As soon as he entered the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Ping saw a large number of local families busy packing up their things there, and the big cars were full of cars.

"Lin Guoxiang, what's going on?" Liu Ping found Lin Hai and asked.

"Oh, it's Brother Liu, sit. Come on, serve tea. Lin Hai is quite calm.

Liu Ping didn't have time to drink tea, and asked anxiously: "Liu heard that Lin Guoxiang wanted to resign and return to his hometown, what was the reason?" ”

Lin Hai's calm face also showed a trace of sadness, and he sighed and said: "The situation is difficult, Brother Liu must have heard about Dong Zhuo's chaos, right?" ”

Liu Ping nodded and said, "I've heard a little about it, but it's a matter of the court, what does it have to do with the Plains Kingdom?" ”

"Ben Chu Gong raised troops from the Bohai Sea and sent a letter to Dong Xuan, and all states and counties in the world did not respond, and this official is also a protégé of the Yuan family, how dare he disobey the document when he receives it."

"The country's military is all in the hands of Liu Ze, why didn't the prime minister order him to lead his troops to the battle?"

Lin Hai smiled bitterly: "How could this official not think of this method, yesterday I went to Liu Ze's mansion in person, but he was sick on the couch and couldn't get up." ”

"This person who is not sick early or late, he is sick at this juncture, according to the opinion below, Liu Ze must be pretending to be sick!"

"This official has been in the officialdom for so many years, how can this little trick be hidden from this official? But all the soldiers and horses of his own country are in his hands, and his camp is also his cronies, and if he refuses to go out, his own officials will not be able to mobilize a single soldier. What's more, this battlefield is extremely dangerous, and the official is old and can't stand the toss. This official still has an eighty-year-old Gaotang old mother to serve, and a few dogs are not yet complete. ”

"Lin Guoxiang has been in charge of the plain for so many years, is he really willing to retire?"

"What if you are unwilling? A contemptible civil official, if he can't pull a horse and don't open a bow, can he really go to the battlefield to die and follow in the footsteps of Yingchuan Taishou? ”

"Then why don't Prime Minister Lin sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, there are countless counties and countries in the world, and they may not all send troops, right?"

"Brother Liu, you don't know about this, Yuan Shaoqi is a person, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, if I don't send troops to help this time, if he wins and returns, he will definitely settle accounts with me. If the Dong coalition army is defeated, even if I have not sent troops, as a member of the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo may not be willing to let me go. Therefore, this retreat, although the official is reluctant, is also a last resort. ”

"Even if Prime Minister Lin resigns and goes into hiding, he can't hand over the seal ribbon to Liu Ze's shaft?"

"Aside from this, does this official have any other choice?" Lin Hai's eyes fell on the dozens of carts outside the door, "Now I can only ask Liu Ze to see if I can let me go for the sake of taking the initiative to give the seal?" ”

Liu Ping also glanced at Lin Hai's big cars, and I have to say that Lin Hai has scavenged a lot of oil and water for Xiangping in the past ten years, so it's no wonder that he is greedy for life and afraid of death. His expression was also a little gloomy.

"Lin Guoxiang has retired this time, Liu Ze must be unrestrained in the plains, and he is becoming more and more unscrupulous."

"Lin Guoxiang, you are gone, what can we do? Most of our land is still swallowed up by Liu Ze, how is it good? Squire Qian had a bitter look on his face, Lin Hai had promised to make decisions for them before, but after two or three years, instead of driving Liu Ze away, Lin Hai had returned to his hometown first.

Lin Hai also looked helpless, sighed and said: "Everyone, this official can't help anymore, the situation is turbulent and unexpected." ”

Squire Qian and the others were so anxious that they stomped their feet, but they were helpless, Bi Yi had already left Lin Hai at this time, and the political affairs of the plain had nothing to do with him anymore.

Lin Hai pulled Liu Ping and said earnestly: "Brother Liu, the foolish brother has a word to send off, this Liu Ze is not an ordinary person, and his ambition is not in one country or one county, I advise you not to quarrel with him, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ”

Liu Ping hated again and again, and said: "Lin Xiang is afraid of him, why am I afraid?" It's a big deal to fight with him! ”

Lin Hai knew Liu Ping's temper, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since this is the case, you can just do it and leave." ”

Liu Ping and the squires had no choice but to say goodbye to Lin Hai and return to Liu Ping's mansion together.

"Brother Liu, this Lin State has fallen, and Liu Ze of the Plains Country is covering the sky with one hand, how should this be?" The squires stared at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping slammed his fist on several cases, and his eyes flashed with a violent light.

"Liu Ze! He doesn't let us have a good time, and he doesn't want to live in peace! (To be continued......)
