Liu Ze suddenly realized, it seems that the process of this history is really accelerating, it turns out that what can only happen in the fifth year of Zhongping actually mentions the three years of Zhongping, Liu Ze, as a traveler who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, feels more and more difficult to grasp the pulse of this era. Liu Ze arched his hand and congratulated: "Congratulations to Mrs. Liu. ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "Each other, Brother Bo'an and I came to visit today to congratulate the right move of Duke Runde." ”

Seeing that Liu Ze was still in doubt, Liu Yu smiled and said: "This time, the emperor adopted Brother Junlang's construction, and initially planned to abolish the thorn in the five prefectures of Yi, Hebei, Henan, Yan, and Youzhou, Brother Junlang served as Yizhou pastor, Weishu served as Youzhou pastor, Shaofu Huang Wan served as Yuzhou pastor, and Huangfu rode as Jizhou pastor, as for this Yanzhou pastor, it naturally fell on the virtuous nephew." And the virtuous nephew took advantage of this military exploit, and the emperor wanted to crown the virtuous nephew as the Marquis of Zhuolu Pavilion, the Marquis of the State Pastor, the supreme honor, but it was ridiculous that he was still preparing to let the virtuous nephew serve as the soldier Cao Cao of Youzhou, which was really ashamed and ashamed. ”

Liu Ze was shocked, although he had contributed to the court, the reward was expected, according to Liu Ze's previous thoughts, it would be good to give an official like the prime minister of the country to the death, then it depends on the faces of the eunuchs. What kind of official is the state pastor, Liu Ze knows better than anyone else in his heart, that is the real feudal official, and he can't be let unless he is a high-ranking and powerful person, he was just a small cavalry captain before, if he was directly promoted to Yanzhou Mu, wouldn't it be a step to the sky? But Liu Ze still had some doubts in his heart, the contradiction between himself and the eunuch Zhang had reached the point where it was intolerable, even if the emperor had the heart to reward them, it was difficult to guarantee that Zhang would not let them get in the way. Now that the matter of taking office as Yanzhou pastor has suddenly come out, it is somewhat strange, and how much is it boring?

Although there were ups and downs in his heart, Liu Ze's face was unwavering, and he took a leisurely sip of tea, his expression was calm, as if it was none of his business, as if Liu Yu was talking about irrelevant matters. Liu Yan frowned slightly, he had been in officialdom for a long time, and he had never seen any kind of person. But it is really rare to find someone like Liu Ze who is calm and calm, and who is not shocked. There are two kinds of people who are so calm and calm in front of high-ranking officials and Houlu, one is the kind of person who is hidden in the world and sees through the red dust, and the other is the person who is extremely deep in the city. Joy and anger are invisible. Obviously, Liu Ze can't be the first. If it's the second kind of person, it's even more terrifying, and even the position of the state pastor doesn't look at it. Then his heart is not ordinarily big.

Liu Yan coughed lightly and said, "It seems that Runde Gong is not surprised, obviously Runde Gong is more informed than me." ”

Liu Ze smiled faintly and said: "There, if it weren't for the frequent summons from my uncle and Mrs. Liu, how could I have learned the inside information of this court." It's just that he is in a lowly position, and he is shallow in his studies, so how can he take on the heavy responsibility of the state pastor? ”

"The virtuous nephew doesn't know, this abolition of the thorn and the pastoral is a matter of importance, related to the community, the emperor is also after careful consideration, among the initial five state pastors, the important ministers of the clan occupy three seats, the virtuous nephew knows why?"

"I want to hear about it."

"In the past, after Gaozu pacified the world, he thought that the reason for Qin's demise was due to the lack of a clan with the same surname, so Gaozu sealed Liu's son and nephew as the king with the same surname when he eliminated the king with a different surname, which was intended to defend the imperial power and swear an oath with the ministers of the White Horse. This is the beginning of the clan, but at the time of filial piety, after the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, the power of the clan is declining day by day, and relatives and eunuchs take turns to control the government, and the government collapses and the people's livelihood is ruined, which leads to the disaster of the Yellow Turban. Today, it is also a painful experience, and the more the dynasty is revitalized, Brother Junlang played this time, and the emperor's holy will coincided, so that there was a proposal to abolish the thorn and put the pastor. Among the five states of the pastor, the emperor rode the yellow turban to quell the rebellion is the first hero, and the Jizhou pastor is well deserved, Huang Wan is an important minister in the court, and the main pastor Yuzhou is more reasonable, and the remaining three state pastors, the emperor gave all the important ministers of the clan, which shows that the emperor reuses the meaning of the clan. Runde, although you and I are all descendants, we are all descendants of Gaozu Miao, descendants of the Liu family, at this time when the dynasty is in danger, it is our duty to stand up and protect my Liu family for generations. ”

Generations? Liu Ze was laughing secretly in his heart, this Liu Yu was too naïve to think about it, the mansion was about to pass, how could it be that a few of their clan members were left and right, not to mention that even if Liu Yu had the heart to help the Han family, did others have it? At least Liu Yan, who had the bad idea of abolishing the thorn and placing the herd, did not have it, his mind had already gone to Yizhou, where he was a son of heaven, he just wanted to be his soil emperor, and even gave the soil character when the opportunity was right, as for the life and death of the Luoyang court, I am afraid it really has nothing to do with him.

However, this is what Liu Ze thought in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "What my uncle said is very true, as a child of the clan, he should indeed do his best for the court, but the little nephew is still inexperienced, if he really guards Yanzhou, I am afraid that the ministers will not accept it." ”

Liu Yu laughed and said: "The virtuous nephew is too worried, although the virtuous nephew is a weak crown, but cutting off the yellow scarf and killing Zhang Jiao, such feats, even compared to Wei Huo, are not much better, not to mention that this appointment is from the saint, how dare the ministers discuss." ”

Liu Ze said: "I don't know if the emperor is healthy?" ”

Liu Yu said: "The emperor just occasionally felt the cold, and now there is no big problem, he can only go to the court after a year, is the virtuous nephew a little impatient?" ”

Hearing that Emperor Han Ling was safe and sound, Liu Ze's hanging heart was also put down, at least Emperor Han Ling should have three years of longevity. "The fame and wealth of the little nephew don't care, but I heard that the holy dragon is healthy, I am very relieved, the emperor Jin'an, is the blessing of my Han Dynasty."

Liu Ze said in his heart, although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was mediocre, but he was the pillar of optimism of the Han Dynasty, barely supporting the crumbling Han Dynasty, three years later, with the collapse of Emperor Ling of Han, the huge Han Empire fell apart in an instant, the princes rose up, and the curtain of the Three Kingdoms was opened. If Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty can live for one more year, the rotten court will be able to maintain one more year, and the common people will inevitably suffer from a year of troubled times.

Liu Yu was quite appreciative, and said: "Although the government and the opposition have a lot of complaints about the saints, saying that His Majesty is close to the villain and the virtuous ministers, but as courtiers, we should first have the heart of loyalty, not slander, but also fulfill the duty of the minister, and listen to the sage." This time, the emperor adopted the performance of Brother Junlang, and he was as good as a stream, which was worthy of Mingjun's doing. ”

For Liu Yu's blind royalist, Liu Ze naturally didn't bother to argue with him, but he remembered something. "Uncle, do you know when the news of the proposal to abolish the thorn in the DPRK and China came out? And who knows this? ”

Liu Yu said: "Brother Junlang has been writing for more than ten days, the emperor has summoned the ministers to discuss this matter, and it has been preliminarily decided that it was about three or five days ago, not many people know this news, and the three dukes and nine kings and the general know the inside story, and the rest of the people are just speculation, why does Runde have this question?" ”

Liu Ze suddenly realized, it turned out that the Yuan family was willing to welcome him, He Jin tried his best to win over, and they all fell here, Yuan Feng He Jin was in a high position, and the inside information of the court was all under control, so they threw an olive branch to Liu Ze at the first time, these people are all old fritters who are mixed in the officialdom, and it is strange that there is a phenomenon in the court that an upstart in officialdom like Liu Ze does not win over him. Liu Ze said: "Oh, it's nothing, the little nephew is just a little curious." ”

Today, Liu Yu and Liu Yan came to Liu Ze's mansion to ventilate, and at the same time contact Liu Ze to get in touch with their feelings, this time the emperor reused the important ministers of the clan, which can be regarded as the circle of the Liu clan's power among the pinnacle of power, and the relatives and eunuchs who were in charge of the government before formed a full momentum, in this form, Liu Yu and Liu Yan both think that it is necessary for them to unite and form a joint force, and the addition of the upstart Liu Ze undoubtedly makes their chips more sufficient, at least in the future, the clan forces in the court will have a greater say.

For their purpose, Liu Ze has nothing to reject, he is born in the Han family, although the family road is broken, but the status is still there, his father before his death is to remember the glory of the ancestors, I can't imagine that after a few years, with the Yellow Turban War, Liu Ze really has to make a fortune, shepherd one side, immediately seal the marquis, although not as good as the aura of the ancestor of Zhongshan King Jing, but since the Lucheng Pavilion Marquis Liu Zhen lost the marquis due to the gold case, Zhuojun Liu finally has a glorious lintel day, and it can be regarded as the end of a father's wish.

As for advancing and retreating with Liu Yu, although Liu Ze did not approve, he did not refuse, one is that Liu Yu is an elder and has the grace to promote Liu Ze, and secondly, Liu Ze has no foundation in the court, and Lu Zhi, the only one who can be regarded as a backer, is not a heavyweight minister in the court. Liu Ze also knows the truth that it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against a big tree, if he really wants to make a noise in the court, he really can't have a backer.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Liu Yu and Liu Yan got up to say goodbye, obviously they were still very satisfied with Liu Ze's attitude, and when they left, they were full of smiles and smugness. Liu Ze sent them away, and without any further delay, he hurried to Lu Zhifu, and was disturbed by Liu Yu and Liu Yan for a morning, and now it was almost noon.

As soon as he entered the Lu Mansion, he saw Lu Yu muttering to him in a low voice: "Runde, why are you so late?" Father has been waiting for you all morning, and the pot of wine has been scalded three times! ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "I originally planned to come over earlier, but unfortunately some things were delayed, forgive my sins." ”

The two talked as they walked, and soon entered the middle hall. Lu Zhi was already sitting in the middle hall, and the dishes had already been set up on several cases, including chicken and fish, which could be regarded as sumptuous.

Liu Ze bowed and said, "The student is a step late, so the teacher waits for a long time, and begs for forgiveness." (To be continued......)
