Chapter 33: Everyone is busy
Zhenbei General Li Xuan has arrived in Luoyang.
It's like a pebble thrown into the rough sea, and I didn't even see a wave, the family was busy in this period of how to bring down the eunuchs, and the Qingliu Emperor Party was thinking about how to re-establish the prestige of the emperor or the Han royal family, and be a minister of Zhongxing or something, as for the emperor who recruited Li Xuan into Luoyang at the beginning, he didn't know what he was busy with at this time, anyway, Li Xuan has been in Luoyang for three days, not to mention the shadow, there is no letter.
In short, the arrival of General Zhenbei, who is famous in the grassland and in the north of the earthquake, does not seem to have such a fierce response as imagined, and everyone is very busy and has no time to pay attention to this anti-Hu hero.
"I'm sorry, General Li, my master is out to visit friends, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the short term." Lu Mansion, a Lu Mansion family member said to Li Xuan very politely.
"Really?" Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the door plaque of the Lu Mansion, and turned to leave.
"Lord, I don't think that Lu Zhi'er is not there, but he just avoids it!" Leaving the Lu Mansion, Shan Xiongxin frowned, and said to Li Xuan, this is the third time he has visited the Lu Mansion, Lu Zhi is the ruling Jinwu, ranked Jiuqing, even if it is a false position, it is impossible to leave Luoyang.
"What!?" Dian Wei on the side was furious when he heard this, his eyes glared, and he said sharply: "I'll go and tear down the door of his house, see if that old man dares to hide!" ”
"Dian Wei! Don't be rude! Li Xuan snorted vigorously, drank to stop the angry Dian Wei, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Shuai has the grace of knowing me, and now I avoid it, there will be hardships, don't mess around!" ”
"Bitter? What's the problem? Dian Wei complained angrily.
"It's avoiding suspicion." Li Xuan didn't expect it at first, but now that he has hit a wall three times in a row, he has thought about many things, and Lu Zhi was breaking Zhang Jiao at the beginning. When he was about to destroy the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop, he was recalled by the imperial court, and he was afraid of Lu Zhigong's high shock, and he was strictly counted, and he was also a subordinate of Lu Zhi, and he was a frontier general with military power. When the two meet at this time, I am afraid that it will be easy to fall into the mouth, and it may even make the court that is already jealous of Lu Zhi murderous.
This is by no means groundless, think about the two of them, a famous general who turned the tide, and a great Confucian at home, with a long reputation and military prestige, has exceeded the limit of a courtier, and the other is a feudal official who holds military power. When such two people walk together, it is difficult not to be feared.
At the same time, Lu Zhi refused to even meet once, which also explained from the side that Lu Zhi's current situation in Luoyang was obviously not good.
"Avoiding suspicion?" glanced at Li Xuan blankly, although Dian Wei was not a real fool, it was obviously difficult to understand this kind of political problem.
Li Xuan nodded and didn't explain much. Luoyang's situation was simpler than he imagined, but it was more complicated, and simplicity was naturally Li Xuan's own situation. Although he received a cold reception after coming to Luoyang, he did not imagine the various conspiracies that followed, and the complexity was the current situation, Lu Zhi didn't even dare to see himself, and he could also imagine the fierce party struggle in Luoyang at the moment.
Walking on the streets of Luoyang. Li Xuan suddenly found that he seemed to have no direction, opportunities and risks, and he couldn't talk about it at present.
Li Xuan, who has now become a big idler, wanders aimlessly on the streets of Luoyang with his two followers. Recruiting historical celebrities sounds like a good idea, during this period, there are a lot of celebrities in Luoyang, Xun You, Chen Lin, these great powers under the princes of all parties in the future, are now just a small miscellaneous fish in Luoyang, and their identity is not even comparable to Li Xuan.
Of course, if you really want to recruit, the difficulty is not ordinary, although the rules of the plane are not the same, but the core thing will not change, Li Xuan can recruit Zhao Yun, because Li Xuan in this period is doing the same thing as Gongsun Chan in history, and his reputation is so great that he is still above Gongsun Chan in history, after all, no matter how powerful Gongsun Chan is in history, he is just guarding the side, in the final analysis, it is also his own job, and Li Xuan is expanding the territory, in this case, It is not difficult to understand that Zhao Yun chose Li Xuan, who was already famous, over the newly rising Gongsun Zhan.
As for Dian Wei, although it was an accident, there was also the reason for Li Xuan's reputation, but that's all, if it was put in Luoyang, this set would not be able to be eaten.
In the eyes of this group of well-read people in Luoyang, the threat of the eunuch party is probably still above the Hu people, as for the border troubles or something, in the imperial capital Luoyang, although this kind of thing sounds big, but for them, it feels a little ethereal after all.
However, Li Xuan now has two huge countries in his hands as support, and it is the Song Dynasty with a flourishing literary style, top talents may not be easy to find, but grassroots and middle-level civil and official talents are grasped a lot, and in terms of top talents, Liu Bowen belongs to the top level even if he gets this era.
Li Xuan's purpose for coming to Beijing this time, in addition to being called, there is another reason, that is, to make friends with eunuchs, that is, the ten permanent servants.
It's just that before that, Li Xuan still wants to see these celebrities in Luoyang now, it is difficult to recruit, but there is still curiosity, and these people are very likely to join their hostile camp in the future, understand the character of the characters in advance, and if they are really right in the future, they can also make some corresponding preparations as soon as possible.
The wish is very good, but the reality is always so cruel, needless to say, the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes is needless to say, here, Li Xuan's treatment is somewhat similar to that of the Lu Mansion, but the doorman here is obviously not as polite as the doorman of the Lu family, and he stopped Li Xuan arrogantly, and told Li Xuan very arrogantly, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui were very busy and had no time to see him.
In the second generation of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is now in Luoyang, but this thing is missing all day long, don't say Li Xuan, it is very difficult for Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui to see this second-generation figure of the Yuan family.
Then in the General's Mansion, that is, He Jin, Li Xuan received the same treatment, it is said that Li Xuan, as the general of Zhenbei, this official position is really not low, and it is also the number one person in the military, as the head of the generals, it is reasonable, He Jin, the boss, should see Li Xuan.
However, it is very unfortunate that He Jin is full of friends at this time, and he is feasting on ministers and celebrities from all parties in Luoyang, all of whom are a group of civil officials, and it is not suitable for him to enter as a military general, so he asked Li Xuan to come back another day.
You're a military commander yourself, okay?
Li Xuan is no longer able to complain about the answer given by He Fu Jiading, as for Yang Ci and Liu Tao, who seem to be high-ranking ministers, Li Xuan has lost interest, these years, the frequency of the replacement of the three dukes is definitely faster than that of the captain of the city gate, today he is still ranked as the third duke, and tomorrow the person standing in that position may not be the same person.
In the end, Li Xuan didn't even see Xun You, Chen Lin and other little people who were still small miscellaneous fish and eating at this time, and they all went to the banquet in He Mansion when they heard it.
As for the eunuch's side, Li Xuan also went, but he didn't go in, not that he didn't want to entertain there, on the contrary, if someone was sent to report, I believe that this group of eunuchs would definitely be very welcome, but Li Xuan wandered around outside, and finally gave up the idea of going in immediately, there were too many people there, and he could be regarded as a person with status, even if he really squeezed in, it would be detrimental to his identity and image, so let Zuo Feng arrange it another day.
Li Xuan also understands why everyone knows that they have a bad reputation, but they are still willing to take the path of eunuchs, because the threshold of the family is too high to enter, there is no relationship or a good reputation, people don't care about you, and the eunuch side is different, although the body is disabled, but probably because of this reason, people have no view of the door, as long as they have money, and they are not against them, they can enter the door.
So, the eunuchs are like a city, but the family is full of people, this feeling is probably not very comfortable, so they gathered together to He Jin, and he went in to deal with the eunuchs, and at the same time used the pen in his hand to carry out round after round of verbal criticism and writing on the eunuchs, creating huge public opinion, which is why the reputation of the eunuchs in later generations is not very good.
Therefore, the eunuchs seen in the history books usually have two characteristics, the first is hateful, and the second is very low IQ, so they will do many stupid things that normal people will not do.
This also confirms two facts, first of all, those emperors in history have problems with their taste and eyesight, otherwise it would be impossible to pamper the eunuchs who feel hateful at a glance, and even let them master the court, in addition, the IQ of those ministers at that time was really worrying, otherwise how could they be played dead by a group of eunuchs with low IQ.
The appearance of such a hateful and stupid eunuch like a pig also indicates that the country is not far from the day of its demise, because the emperor and his ministers are not very intelligent, how can they manage a country well?
In fact, if Li Xuan really wants to meet these celebrities, it is not impossible, the dark hall has been operating here for a while, and he may not be able to do anything big, but it is not difficult to lock down someone's whereabouts, especially when this person is still a celebrity, it is even simpler.
However, Li Xuan didn't really do this, after all, he wanted to meet these celebrities, and he just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, and wanted to see what kind of differences those historical celebrities would be in this plane with the rules of the game, but if he wanted to surface the dark hall that had not yet fully established himself in Luoyang, it would be a little more than worth the loss, and the dark hall was not the time to show the fangs to the world.
