"Oh? So much better. ”

Dong He was stunned, although he had doubts, he saw that Li Li was handsome and kind, with a warm smile, and when he spoke, his voice was full of emotion, which was very infectious, and he was definitely not a treacherous and blackmailer. So he was relieved and talked to Li Li in a low voice as he walked.

Just one side, Dong He felt that he and Li Li were speculative, and they were even in love. The key is that Li Li is very talkative, especially when he gives a very high opinion of Dong He's current government decrees, which makes Dong He like to talk to him very much, at least much more pleasant than talking to Wu Yi, a reckless man.

talked so harmoniously, but Dong He didn't even know Li Li's name at the moment, but Li Li knew him very well and had been paying attention to him for many days.

The current Chengdu Ling Dong He, the word Youzai, is honest and simple, quite capable of governance, is an honest official, and after taking office in Chengdu, he advocates diligence and thrift and simplicity, and resists extravagance. For this reason, the major families in the city complained about it, but they were very in awe. Since he became the commander of Chengdu, the weddings and funerals of the big families in the city and the families of the gentry have not dared to make a big deal, and even the travel on weekdays must be restrained, so as not to be bumped into by Dong He, lose face, and have to listen to Dong He's preaching, which is extremely wolf.

Because of this, during Dong He's more than a year as the commander of Chengdu, dozens of officials successively slandered Liu Zhangjin, secretly slandered Dong He, and wanted Liu Zhang to remove Dong He and send him to the southwest county, away from the city capital. Liu Zhang accepted the construction of the officials and wanted to remove Dong and Chengdu from his position. Dong He asked impatiently: "What is your fault?" ”

Liu Zhang was immediately speechless, feeling that it was indeed unconvincing to remove Dong He for no reason, so he ordered someone to collect Dong He's mistakes. Investigate everything in detail. However, the little official of Fa Cao checked it over and over again, but he couldn't find the problem, but instead collected a bunch of political achievements that were deliberately covered up. Fortunately, Liu Zhang was not a person who was extremely deaf, and after seeing the "incriminating evidence" of Dong He that the officials had finally collected, he was very moved, so he was retained.

However, Liu Zhang is a person who attaches great importance to face. After such a fuss, although he recognized Dong He's governing ability in his heart. But he still doesn't like Dong He, and he always feels that it hurts his face, so that Dong He rarely appears in front of him. Dong He was also excluded from every routine meeting.

Now, the state city is surrounded by the Xiliang army on all sides, and Dong He, who has never been liked by the family and Liu Zhang, has become important, and Liu Zhang allowed him to come to participate in the state pastoral meeting.

He said that he participated in military and political deliberations. In fact, Dong He was a listener most of the time. is humble and light-spoken, and is not liked by the subordinates of the state government, and is alone, even if he admonishes Liu Zhang, he will not be taken seriously, let alone adopted, and it is useless to say it. And the reason why he was summoned by Liu Zhang to discuss matters was because Liu Zhang admired his righteousness in his heart. Not afraid of the powerful, upright. Therefore. Although he rarely admonishes, as long as he speaks, what he says must be very pertinent, providing a powerful reference for Liu Zhang's final decision. I am afraid that Dong He still doesn't know this, and he doesn't know his own value at all; So much so that he has always had the idea of "accompanying the prince to study", and was ordered to come as a visitor, listen more and talk less, so as not to make Liu Zhang unhappy.

Relatively speaking, the reason why Dong He was able to enter Li Li's sight and arouse Li Li's great attention was because Dong He led by example and changed the atmosphere of advocating luxury in Chengdu and even the entire Yizhou.

As we all know, Shu is rich in products, the atmosphere prevailed at that time, the business family, dressed like a prince, eating jade liquid elixir, to the marriage and funeral, almost all the family wealth to extravagance. Dong He set an example for everyone with his own frugal behavior, coarse clothes and vegetarian food, and took etiquette as the code of conduct everywhere, and the local luxury atmosphere changed greatly, and everyone was afraid of him and did not dare to offend.

Last year, some powerful people in Chengdu were afraid of Dong He's harshness, so they encouraged Liu Zhang to transfer Dong He to be the governor of the subject state of Badong. However, in addition to the lack of evidence, what Liu Zhang and Haoqiang never imagined was that there were thousands of officials and people in Chengdu County who helped the old and the young to retain Dong He, and Liu Zhang had no choice but to let Dong He stay in office for two years.

These are all things that have happened, in addition, in the memory of Li Li's prophetic vision, he also knows that Dong He has been diligent and frugal and simple all his life. Historically, after General Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, he recruited Dong He as the general in charge of the army, and co-presided over the management of the affairs of General Zuo and Da Sima Mansion with General Zhuge Liang. Since Dong Heju was an official, he managed externally to pacify the ethnic minorities in the border areas, and participated in military affairs at home for more than 20 years.

This is unique among the officials of the Shu Han Dynasty in history, for this reason, after the death of Dong He, Zhuge Liang, who was the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, deeply missed Dong He, and once praised it bluntly in public: "The courtesy of the young ruler, loyal to the country, and the matter is not done. Zhuge Liang was cautious in his words and deeds all his life, and he was full of talents, few people could point out his shortcomings, and finally got his recognition and heartfelt praise, Dong He was one of them.

Maybe most people don't have much impression of Dong He, but if you mention Dong Yun, who was later called one of the "Four Phases of Shu Han" by the Shu people, you must be no stranger to Dong Yun, Dong Yun is the son of Dong He. (Note: The four phases of Shu and Han: Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Dong Yun.) ）

Because of this, the moment Dong He walked out of the main hall of the State Governor's Mansion, as soon as Wu Yi mentioned Dong He's name at first glance, Li Li asked Wu Yi to step forward to stop him, so as not to be affected by the impending upheaval. It is not difficult to see from this that Li Li values Dong He very much, and does not want to see such an extremely rare "clean and good official" involved in the struggle, so he tries to keep him in the state governor's mansion and follow him.

?????? Backyard of the state capital, inner hall.

When Li Li, Wu Yi and Dong He arrived at the second hall, they happened to see Zhang Song and two chamberlains carrying the half-drunk Liu Zhang into the backyard, so they followed and followed Zhang Song and others into the inner hall.

"Hey, why did you go and come back?"

As soon as Liu Zhang was helped to sit down in the hall, Zhang Song was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he turned around and saw Dong He, who had just left, appear at the door of the inner hall. Zhang Song was suddenly surprised, and casually asked the reason, but before he finished speaking, he saw Wu Yi and a tall and handsome young man cross the threshold and strode into the hall.

"General Ziyuan is also here. I don't know ?????? this son is." Seeing that Wu Yi came to the inner hall with a stranger late at night, Zhang Song's expression changed, so he pretended to greet Wu Yi as if nothing happened. When he said that he was dressed as a handsome man, Zhang Song's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyelids jumped violently, and he stood up with a pout, his surprise was indescribable, his face was full of horror, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Dong He, who was pushed into the inner hall by Wu Yi, didn't notice Zhang Song's shocked look, his attention was all on Liu Zhang, who was leaning on the chair and looking up and pretending to sleep, walked into the hall quickly, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "My lord, General Wu Yi has something important to ask to see, and recommend a talented person in the world." Obviously, after less than a quarter of an hour of conversation, Dong He decided that Li Li was a great sage in the world, so without waiting for Wu Yi to speak, he took the lead in introducing him, as if he was afraid that Liu Zhang would miss such a talent.

However, just as Dong He was speaking, he saw a scene that shocked him: he saw Li Li, who had been following him and Wu Yi, without the slightest intention of stopping after stepping into the inner hall, Huo Ran walked past Wu Yi and Dong He, walked straight to the upper steps of the inner hall, and sat side by side with Liu Zhang. Then, seeing him pick up the teapot on the desk, slowly pour two cups of tea, take a sip of one of the cups of tea, and push the other cup of tea in front of Liu Zhang.

Seeing this scene, Dong He's expression changed sharply, and he said urgently: "In front of the lord, brother Tai must not be rude, ?????? quickly"

Without waiting for Dong He to finish speaking, Li Li raised his hand to signal him to silence, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the table on the left, signaling Dong He to sit aside and wait for the changes, without saying more.

At this moment, Dong He found that Li Li's demeanor and demeanor were very different from before, his eyes were deep and firm, and his expression was calm with the indescribable majesty of a superior, as if he was not angry but mighty, and there was an irresistible deterrent with a slight wave of his hand. So much so that when Dong He saw Li Li's gesture, the words came to his lips but swallowed them back, and he got up and stepped aside, and slowly sat down in astonishment.

"It was raining and windy outside the door, Ziyuan closed the door, I have been separated from Ji Yu for many years, and this time I came thousands of miles away to catch up with Ji Yu. You can sit down and drink tea with peace of mind, no matter what you hear, you must not interject, otherwise you will blame Li for not being emotional! ”

The noisy words came out of Li Li's mouth so naturally that Zhang Song, who was originally stunned, woke up when he heard the sound, so he nodded his head in understanding, and sat down under Dong He without mind. Immediately, Dan saw Zhang Song stretch out his right hand and tremble and grab the teapot, pour Dong He a cup of tea, and then pour two more cups; One cup is Wu Yi's, and the other is his own. Dong He, who was sitting next to him, finally saw a clue and knew that Zhang Song must know the man sitting next to Liu Zhang, and Wu Yi did not want to introduce the man to the lord Liu Zhang at all, but the man's cronies and entourage.

As soon as he thought of this, Dong He couldn't help but secretly guess who this extraordinary man was, who could make Zhang Song, who had always been above the top, stunned, and didn't dare to say a word, and he could also subdue Wu Yi, a veteran military general like Wu Yi, and bow down to him and obey him. What surprised him the most was that this person dared to sit side by side with Liu Zhang, and his expression was calm, his eyebrows revealed the majesty and momentum of being in the top position for a long time, and his demeanor and majesty were still above Liu Zhang.

Just when Dong He was secretly thinking about himself, Li Li's casual voice sounded in the hall again: "After a farewell for many years, old friends are reunited, shouldn't Ji Yuxian's brother be a little bit of the friendship of the landlord?" ”
