Chapter 198: Zhou Jing's Choice

No matter what Zhou Lie's family thought, they all returned to their respective courtyards after waking up anyway. Don't look at Zhou Jing's gray hair, but his body is still very tough, his eyes are bright, and the breath of the superior for many years is naturally revealed, if Zhou Lie and his brothers dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhou Xian, it is because Zhou Xian's temper is much calmer than Zhou Jing. Zhou Xian's temper is more inclined to be decisive, otherwise it would be impossible to cooperate with Zhou Yu as soon as he received Zhou Yu's letter. Although he is in Lujiang, there are very few people who can retreat in such a political whirlpool, and his political sense of smell makes him pass by danger again and again. Originally, Zhou Yu, his own grandson, came back this time, Zhou Jing was still very happy, Zhou Yu was almost made by the Yuan family brothers, and the Zhou family was killed. It was only later that Zhou Jing learned about this matter, and it was really not suitable for him to travel long distances when he was old, otherwise he would definitely let the two little rabbit cubs of the Yuan family accompany him to the funeral.

His grandson is back, but he feels that it is not the right time to come back. Now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, the strength of the Yellow Turban anti-thieves is growing stronger and larger, and more and more poor people are coerced to start attacking towns and counties. The imperial court also sent a large army to conquest, but it did not reorganize the armament for many years, and it was defeated and retreated by the Yellow Turban Army for a while, and Zhou Xian has been paying attention to these things. Hearing that Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, issued an edict to let officials and gentry from all over the country organize soldiers to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army on the spot, Zhou Jing smelled an unusual meaning. Ordinary kings have their military power firmly in their own hands, because they are afraid that a dissident will overthrow their rule, and now recruiting soldiers is actually the way to chaos.

"Yu'er - according to your father, you are going to enter Beijing to offer victory? There is also a Yellow Turban Army on the territory of Yangzhou, and according to your time and army in Yangzhou, it is impossible to destroy the three Qu Shuai at once. You told your grandfather that you didn't have a superior person to guide you behind your back? "The place where Zhou Jing, Zhou Xian, and Zhou Yu are located is Zhou Xian's study, and the old housekeeper Zhou Xin personally guards it outside the study.

"Grandpa, I won't tell you anything, I once got a high-ranking person who told me that the world of the Han Dynasty was about to fall apart, and I didn't believe what he said at the time, but he told me that there would be a rebellion that sounded the death knell of the Han Dynasty. When he parted, he inexplicably said four sentences, that is, the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious, I didn't understand what this meant at first! It wasn't until after the Golden Thieves Rebellion began that I heard these four words from the mouths of the thieves I caught. I don't know why I panicked when I heard this, and I sent people to look for this master, but I couldn't find him. There is no way, I have two friends I met in Luoyang, they both have the talent of the world, they helped me one to stay in Luoyang City, and the other went with me on the expedition, and on the way to make plans to break the Yellow Turban Army. This time, I stopped by to go home because I wanted you and my father to move to Yangzhou, if what that master said was true, Lujiang County would not be a battlefield in a short time. Although I have only taken over Yangzhou for about half a year, it is still a pure land at present. In addition, Yangzhou City is in ruins, and I need you to go to the town for me, so that I can rest assured that I can fight outside and protect the Han Dynasty well. "Zhou Yu now pushes his ability to predict the future to the master, as for who the master is, no one will investigate it, they all say that if it is a master, then it must be a dragon who sees the head and does not see the end, and it is also the safest statement. Zhou Jing and Zhou Xian have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible to impress them with some other ideas, Zhou Yu thought in his heart that the Han Dynasty must be protected, but it is only to protect the world of the Han Dynasty, not the world of the Liu family.

"There are many people and strange poems on the land of China, and Yu'er is blessed to meet them! It's just that you offended the general He Jin in Luoyang and befriended the Yuan family, and the children of a scholar family actually went to stoop to the eunuchs, which makes me a little incomprehensible! I know you're willing to be stigmatized because you want to grow your strength quickly, but is it really worth it? You should know that the scholar family claims to be in the same vein, and if you want to make a difference, you must have their support, otherwise once they start to hold back, it will make you feel that you are restrained everywhere. My suggestion is that you consider whether you need to ease the relationship with them, and the resources they can provide you with are limitless. "Zhou Yu's official was bought by selling Luoyang's ancestral house, and Luoyang's official office is not ashamed of the children of the scholar clan, because they only need someone to recommend them to be officials, and they don't need to spend money to buy officials at all. In fact, they all know in their hearts that the Han Dynasty's finances cannot make ends meet, and there are too many places to spend money every day, and the Son of Heaven can't take out a copper plate in the treasury if he wants to enjoy it.

There was no way for them to come up with this strategy - "Sell officials!" "It's just that most of the time, the people who sell officials are to choose some official positions such as small county officials and sesame mung beans that can make money, only Zhou Yu, a bold and reckless person, is a state's thorn in the history as soon as he makes a move. It is also the biggest deal since the establishment of the official office of the Han Dynasty, but the eunuchs inside are very tight-mouthed, and no one reveals how much Zhou Yu spent to buy this official. What makes people even more strange is where did the Zhou family get so much money, although the Zhou family is usually a big family, it is impossible to come up with so much money. Zhou Yu not only bought officials to amaze them, won the favor of the Oiran Contest and became the only guest to enter the scene, and became the first place in the first session of the Talent Competition, plus the drunken school trouble, the eldest prince's playmate, so carefully counted Zhou Yu really sank into a person who is both good and evil, and he is a freak in people's eyes.

"Grandpa, dad - now there is no one around anyway, so I will tell the truth, in fact, in Luoyang City, my enemies are only the Yuan family and their family, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of their family wanted to kill me several times, and what was even more hateful was to drag my father into the water. In addition, I slapped the Yuan family in the face several times, and almost the Zhou family and the Yuan family have become a fire and water. The general He Jin has a very close personal relationship with me in private, the Oiran Contest and the Talent Contest have made the general earn a lot of money, and most of the money I earn is through this hitchhiker, He Jin has regarded me as a cash cow and the God of Wealth! As for the eunuch Zhang Rang, it is nothing more than a matter of money, as long as the money is in place, I want him to open his mouth and call his father. But even a villain like him is just using each other! The learned people in the capital now want to beat me down as the number one in the world, but they can't find my people, and if they only need to guide a force, the court may not be all monolithic. Presumably you should have heard such a saying, every time you slaughter more dogs, you are always a reader! After entering Beijing this time, what I want is to go to Jizhou, and I will be Zhang Jiao, a Taoist priest, I have seen two of his right-hand men when I was in Luoyang before, one is the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng who is now entrenched in Wancheng, and the other is the most ferocious Qu Shuai Bocai, the two of them are not idle people to be underestimated. Now I have not only the soldiers and horses of Yangzhou, but also the newly formed naval army, I just need you to go to Yangzhou to help me check the gates! I have to fight the Yellow Turban Thief, as long as he hears my name, he can't run away-" Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard his grandfather's question, even a scheming person like his grandfather didn't see that he was hiding from the world, indicating that he had successfully diverted their attention by making a fool of himself.

"Yu'er-sure enough, it's my Zhou family's Qilin'er, grandfather didn't expect you to do so much in a short period of time. However, there is one thing you must remember clearly, even if you are sharp, you must leave a way back for yourself, and you must not let the Son of Heaven be suspicious, otherwise the catastrophe is not far away! Let your father take your mother and Ru'er with you, your grandfather is old and doesn't want to leave his homeland, plus you also see the virtue of your uncle and second uncle's family at home, without me in this town, the roots of your second grandfather's family will be cut off. Alas, after going to Luoyang, even if the Son of Heaven wants to reward you, don't accept it, but take the opportunity of Longyan Dayue to propose to help suppress the thief, so that Yu'er's reputation will go to a higher level. As for the Yuan family, if they dare to make any moves, grandpa doesn't mind letting their family get into some trouble! Zhou Xian looked at Zhou Yu with pride in his heart, having such a grandson can be regarded as an ancestor, but the descendants of the second family are indeed inferior to the generation, which is also something that makes him worry, he also wants to go to Yangzhou to check Zhou Yu again, but he can't ignore the people in the second family, otherwise he won't be able to see his parents and second brother when he gets below. It's tangled!

"Yu'er Zun listens to Grandpa's teachings—it's just that you promised me one thing, that is, you will leave the fifty guards who escorted Daddy back for you to send! Once there is any emergency, as long as I go to Yangzhou to report the news, my navy will be able to kill immediately, and now my navy will start to sweep both sides of the Yangtze River after I go back! Before I fight, I must first stabilize Yangzhou-"

Since his grandfather was reluctant to go to Yangzhou, after Zhou Yu glanced at his father, he could only arrange it like this, even if the Yellow Turban Army killed Zhou Jingquan, who could protect him.
