The heavy rain was still falling, and the whole of Yizhou was gloomy and shrouded in clouds.

It was at such a moment that a man with a hat and a cloak rode a war horse out of the mansion where Liu Yan of Yizhou was located in the rain.

The war horse went out of the door of the mansion, and at the urging of the knight on the horse, he galloped wildly.

The horses' hooves trampled on the bluestone slabs in the city, making a 'clang' sound.

The war horse soon left Mianzhu City and galloped all the way towards Hanzhong in the northeast......

After the people in this small group went out, soon there were war horses coming out of the mansion of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan one after another.

Braving the heavy rain, he headed in all directions of Yizhou.

Some of the more knowledgeable people noticed this situation and immediately realized in their hearts that something big would happen in Yizhou!

The lights in the mansion of Mu Liu Yan in Yizhou were lit for most of the night before they went out......

The next day, the sky was still not clear, and there was a drizzle of rain falling in the sky.

Liu Yan's mansion opened all the doors early in the morning.

There were servants with hats and robes, who were nervously cleaning the courtyard.

There are many officials from Mianzhu who have come to Liu Yan's house one after another.

Every half hour, a knight would come on horseback to report the location of the imperial envoy.

"Alright, it's time for us to set off and meet the messenger of the Son of Heaven!"

After another two hours, Liu Yan looked at the Yizhou officials gathered together, and said with a smile.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd sprang into action.

After a while, everyone rode a carriage, a sedan chair, or a war horse, out of Liu Yan's mansion, all the way to the north of the city, and came to the north of the city for ten miles before stopping.

It's been renovated for a long time.

With a colorful shed, it is very majestic and grand.

Liu Yan stopped here with some officials, waiting for the messenger representing the Son of Heaven to come.

At the same time, some officials were dispatched to continue walking.

Prepare to march ten miles further, and form the first stop there to greet the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

As a sign of respect.

A young man in his twenties, looking at such a grand battle, and then looking at the corner of his rain-soaked clothes, looked a little impatient.

"Father, Dong Zhuo's thief steals a high position and controls the government, this messenger is said to be the messenger of the Son of Heaven, it is better to say that he is the messenger of Dong Thief!

My father is a relative of the Han family, and in the face of the Dong thief's envoy, he should be killed, how can he still mobilize the people like this and greet him in such a large way? ”

After enduring it in his heart for a long time, the young man finally couldn't bear it anymore and said the thoughts that had been held in his heart for a long time.

opened his mouth and exposed his relationship with Liu Yan.

Listening to this son, leaning into his ear and whispering the words, Liu Yan turned his head and looked around.

After seeing that no one noticed the situation here, my heart relaxed a little.

"Zhang'er, don't talk nonsense!"

He said to Liu Zhang in a deep voice, with some scolding.

Seeing his fourth son, in the face of his own reprimand, he quickly bent down and bowed down to confess his guilt.

His complexion softened a little.

also lowered his voice and said to Liu Zhang: "How can I not know that Dong Zhuo is in charge of the government?

But, after all, he is just controlling the government, and this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty!

Since the messenger came with the edict of the Son of Heaven, he is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, and we should treat it solemnly!

It's not about respecting Dong Zhuo's thief, but about respecting the Son of Heaven!

If even our Han clan relatives despise the messenger of the Son of Heaven so much and don't take the envoy of the Son of Heaven seriously, then who else in this world will respect the Son of Heaven?

Isn't the Son of Heaven even more despised?! ”

Liu Zhang, who was originally very impatient in his heart, suddenly realized after hearing his father's words.

"The adult is reasonable, it is the kid who thinks about things simply, and the kid Meng Lang."

Liu Zhang saluted Liu Yan respectfully, looking like he had been greatly benefited by the spleen, and listening to your words was better than reading a book for ten years.

Seeing his son like this, Liu Yan wanted to say a few more words.

But on this occasion, it's hard to say much.

Therefore, I can only sigh secretly in my heart and stop talking to my son......

The angel representing the identity of the Son of Heaven came with an edict written according to Dong Zhuo's meaning.

Yizhou officials immediately stepped forward to greet them, extremely respectful.

Ten miles forward, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, ignoring the rain that still falls from time to time in the sky, does not wear a hat, does not wear a coat, so he braves the rain and walks out to greet him, with an extremely respectful attitude.

He, the Yizhou pastor, took the lead in doing so.

The rest of the many Yizhou officials, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, at this time, they had no choice but to follow Liu Yan's example, and they took off their hats and robes, and walked out of the colorful shed in the rain to greet the angels.

In such a scene, Ling ostensibly represents Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, but in fact he is the messenger on behalf of Dong Zhuo, and he is very satisfied in his heart and is particularly useful......

After a while of greetings, the team set off towards Mianzhu City.

Angels walk in the middle.

Liu Yan was half a step behind on the side.

Behind him are many large and small Yizhou officials......

At this time, Mianzhu City is full of lights and is particularly lively.

These are all specially made by Liu Yan in order to welcome the angels.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict, and he also asks the ...... of Yizhou"

After arriving at the Yizhou official mansion, the envoy cleared his throat and began to speak.

When Liu Yan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the north.

When the messenger saw this, he opened the edict and began to read: "...... Yizhou Mu, the emperor of me! Yizhou Yinshi ...... Today, Chang'an is in ruins...... 1 million stone ...... of grain and rice"

The messenger of the Son of Heaven read the contents of the edict in public.

When everyone present heard this, many of them couldn't help but change their complexions!

Even Liu Yan, who had already known the content of the edict before, also changed his face.

After a while, he bowed respectfully to the angel and took the edict with both hands.

The envoy, who had just maintained a solemn appearance, swept away a serious look on his face after seeing Liu Yan take the edict.

Straight to the big smile.

"When I came, the Son of Heaven also said to me in private, saying that one million stone grains and rice is indeed a lot.

But there is no way around it.

The imperial court is too poor now, and Guanzhong is too poor......

The Son of Heaven said that if it really can't be done, even if the 500,000 stones are borrowed, and when there is surplus grain in the hands of the time, they will be returned to Yizhou......"

Hearing this angel say this, Liu Yan, whose face has always looked very dignified, was obviously relieved.

“…… A million stones, is too much ...... However, since the Son of Heaven has an edict, I, as a relative of the Han family, have to obey the edict......"

Liu Yan said to the envoy.

said that he was very loyal, and he recognized this matter......

After this most crucial thing was confirmed, everything became easy.

There is the sound of singing and dancing, which resounds in the main hall.

Liu Yan accompanied the angel to talk and asked about Chang'an......

Liu Zhang, Liu Yan's son, couldn't swallow it at all.

In the face of this exquisite food in front of me, I have no appetite at all.

There are many things in the heart of the whole person.

A million rice grains!

That's a million rice grains!

How can you say yes?!

took out this million stone rice grain, so how should Yizhou live in the future?

Your own father, is he confused?!

……

The banquet lasted for a long time, and waited until late in the evening before it dispersed, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After sending off the messenger of the Son of Heaven, Liu Yan, who was obviously drunk, returned to his residence.

"Lord, master, Prince Ji Yu asks to see you."

Someone spoke out.

When Liu Yan heard this, he thought about it, sighed, and said loudly: "Let him come in!" ”

A moment later, Liu Zhang, who was waiting outside in a hurry, appeared in front of Liu Yan.

When he came to the room, as soon as he saw Liu Yan, Liu Zhang couldn't help but be stunned.

Because not long ago, it seemed that his father was obviously drunk, and at this time, sitting here, the whole person was extremely sober, and he didn't mean to drink high.

"You're coming to see me now, but what's the matter?"

Originally, Liu Zhang's heart was full of anger and felt that he had a lot to say.

As a result, at this time, after seeing his father's sober state, he didn't know what to say for a while, and the anger in his heart disappeared cleanly.

The whole person was a little panicked.

"The child, the child, did not know why the father had agreed to the messenger's request.

Where is this the Son of Heaven asking us for rice and grain in Yizhou, and it is clear that Dong Zhuo, a thief, asks us for rice and grain in Yizhou......

One million stone rice grain, as soon as it is taken out, we Yizhou will be completely poor.

The envoy said that borrowing 500,000 stones is just a pretext, I really believe it, there is absolutely no return......

After hesitating for a while, Liu Zhang gritted his teeth and decided to tell the story.

"How do you know that I am going to transport a million stone rice grains to Guanzhong?"

Liu Yan sat here quietly, waiting for Liu Zhang to finish speaking, and then looked at Liu Zhang and said.

Hearing his father say this, Liu Zhang was a little stunned all of a sudden.

In any case, he did not expect to get such a sentence from his father.

"You, didn't you, didn't you say, you want, you want, within three or three months, you will transport all the 1 million stone rice grains to Guanzhong?"

Liu Yan sighed and said, "I'm just making a mistake with it."

I just want to use this means to temporarily stabilize Dong Zhuo, so that I have time to make a series of arrangements.

Prepare for the battle that is highly likely to take place later.

If you don't say this, you will refuse it in person, and if you don't accept the edict, the Son of Heaven will not look good on his face.

When such news came back to Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo would inevitably be annoyed and angry, and it was very likely that he would immediately raise troops and horses to attack Yizhou.

We're not ready yet.

In such a situation, it is very likely that you will suffer a big loss......"

Hearing Liu Yan say this, Liu Zhang's heart rose with a thick and suddenly clear understanding.

At that moment, he saluted Liu Yan very respectfully, and said with sincerity and emotion: "The child is dull and doesn't understand his father's good intentions.

If it weren't for my father's explanation, I would have been worried......"

"Now you know, you can rest easy, it's late at night, go to sleep, and you'll be busy for a while in the future."

Liu Yan waved his hand and said to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang did not leave immediately.

He looked at Liu Yan, hesitating here, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have something to say, say it! You don't have to be such a kid here! ”

Looking at Liu Zhang's appearance, Liu Yan felt a little angry.

His cultivation was okay, but he still didn't hold back and got angry at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang's body trembled.

I didn't dare to slack off anymore, and immediately said: "Father, brother, brother, they are still in Chang'an.

If there is a war, will it not be troubled for the brothers, brothers, and brothers? ”

Liu Yan's son, more than one.

Those who stayed in Luoyang were not only the eldest son Liu Fan, but also the second son Liu Dan.

Liu Yan became the pastor of Yizhou, and these sons stayed in Luoyang as hostages.

At that time, there was still a young son Liu Zhang.

When Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he only brought his third son, Liu Mao.

After Liu Yan entered Sichuan and temporarily stabilized the situation in Yizhou, he began to pretend to be sick and begged the imperial court to send his eldest son Liu Fan to Yizhou to take care of his sick old father.

It means goodbye to the previous side.

At that time, Emperor Ling was still alive.

Although Emperor Ling is a little nonsense, he is still very skillful.

Of course, Liu Fan will not be allowed to go.

In addition to Liu Fan's status as the eldest son, among Liu Yan's sons, Liu Fan is also the most successful.

Later, he let go of his young son Liu Zhang, who seemed suspicious and a little cowardly, and went to Yizhou to serve Liu Yan.

Later, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and Liu Fan and Liu Dan were not let go by Dong Zhuo, and they were also moved to Chang'an together.

If Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo are against each other, his two sons will bear the brunt, this is an obvious thing!

Originally, Liu Yan was angry with Liu Zhang's confusion and cowardice, and he didn't want to deal with this son.

However, when I heard that my son, I actually mentioned his two brothers at this juncture, and I couldn't help but feel a little touched in my heart.

This little son is a little confused, and cowardly is a little cowardly.

But the heart is still good.

At least he knew that at this time, he was thinking about his two brothers.

is not like the third son Liu Mao, who has not risen until now.

For a while, Liu Yan regretted a little, and married Wu Kuang's niece and Wu Yi's sister to his third son Liu Zhang!

Liu Yan entered Yizhou, and Wu Yi took the whole family to Yizhou with Liu Yan because of his dead father, who had a good relationship with Liu Yan.

Wu Yi's sister, thirteen or fourteen years old, looks very standard, and knows etiquette very well.

On the road to Sichuan, Liu Yan felt very excited.

More importantly, after coming to Yizhou, some people who are good at looking forward to qi said that Wu Yi's sister is noble and will have an extremely noble status in the future.

Liu Yan had the idea of taking Wu Yi's sister into his own.

It's just that the seniority is different, and Wu Yi's sister has always been commensurate with her uncle.

Even if Liu Yan was a little shameless, in this case, he still couldn't do it after all.

In the end, let his third son marry him.

Under the statement that the person who wants to be angry, Wu Yi's sister, will be indescribably expensive in the future, his move is somewhat meaningful......

"ε=( ́ο'*)))Alas!"

Liu Yan sighed......
