In a few days, it will be the day of the conscription into the temple and the ordination.

Liu Qing finished freshening up, dressed up, put on a sword, and rode a tall horse into Luoyang Zhengcheng.

At this time, Liu Qing sat on the horse and really calmed down to watch this ancient city, from the ancestor of the first emperor of the dragon to the ancestor Liu Bang to the son of the great demon master plane Liu Xiu, in the long history, he was like a spectator, standing there quietly, overlooking the rise and fall of the world, laughing at the vicissitudes of the world, and finally the palace was turned into soil, only the people suffered.

The palace covers many miles, covering the sky and the sun, and it is magnificent. It was built from the north and zigzagged westward, leading to Luoshui, which meandered alongside it. Five steps to a tall building, ten steps to a pavilion; The promenade is like a belt, twisting and turning, and the eaves are high, pecking in mid-air like a bird's beak. These pavilions and pavilions, each with different topography, are unevenly surrounded, the cloister surrounds the heart of the hook, and the eaves are towering like a fighting horn. Twists and turns, twists and turns, as dense as a beehive, like a whirlpool, majestic.

handed over the name of the assassin and reported it layer by layer, and verified that it was Lujiang filial piety Liu Qing was correct, and then entered the Chang'an Palace.

Chang'an Palace is in the southwest corner, covering an extremely wide area, intersecting Weiyang, and the whole palace is the emperor's favorite red. The fine white jade paved ground shines with a warm light, there seems to be a curling mist shrouded in the unreal palace in the distance, the phoenix on the eaves carved from sandalwood spreads its wings, the floating windows carved from green tiles and the jade wall panels, at the end of a straight road, a huge square slowly sinks with the jade steps, and a straight pillar on the huge platform in the center is carved with lifelike dragon patterns, which is far away from the phoenix on the palace......

The palace is nestled in the trees, revealing glazed tile roofs, just like a golden island. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances inscribed with three big characters 'Chang'an Palace'.

The weather is slightly cool in the early morning, there are already pedestrians outside the wall, and everyone inside the wall is waiting in line, and the dew drops are quietly dripping down the leaves, creating a circle of ripples on the ground, like sighing and retaining. Liu Qing dismounted, handed in his resignation, stood and looked around, staring into the hall.

It was again reported layer by layer before entering the temple.

I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the dormitory was the beam, the good jade was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, and the fan gold was the pillar base. The six-foot-wide agarwood table is hung with a shark silk treasure tent, and the tent is embroidered with pearls and silver threads of begonia flowers, and the wind is moving, like a falling cloud mountain and a phantom sea. The first emperor's couch was set up with a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice, and stacked with jade belts. There is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly, like a bright moon. The ground is paved with white jade, the ground is chiseled for plum, the flowers become the appearance of five plum blossoms, the petals are fresh and exquisite, even the stamens are delicate and recognizable, and the barefoot step is only warm and moist, it is actually chiseled with warm jade, straight like the jade lotus step by step, which is comparable to the extravagance of Pan Yuer's golden lotus step by step.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, Liu Qing only dared to look at it from a distance, his eyes were lowered, his face was black, lifeless, and he was not angry at all. Even speaking is weak, without the majesty of the Ninety-Five Supreme at all, not like the supreme existence of a dynasty, but like a money-hungry businessman on the street.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Qingzhan's legs were almost numb, and he was the last to be conferred an official, as if this was also specially arranged by the eunuch, listening to the eunuch shouting his name, his body couldn't help shaking, bowing down and shouting long live.

"Your Majesty, this person is Lujiang's new filial piety this year, Yuan Zhouyang personally took the word a few days ago, and the number is Liu Guozhu."

I don't know who this old dog is, the first sentence made a stumbling block for himself, Emperor Ling is not a stupid person (just don't care about the life or death of the people), he is afraid that Qingliu will become a big reputation to launch the party, and he intends to cultivate a party of eunuchs to fight against the party, in order to ensure the balance of political power in the DPRK and China, he can benefit from it, this eunuch subconsciously feels that he is a member of the Qingliu Party as soon as he says this, can this dying emperor rest assured that he will be a big official? No wonder Cai Yong said that he had been targeted by eunuchs, and it seems to be true today. When Liu Qing didn't speak, he naturally couldn't speak out, but silently weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

Who knew that the emperor seemed to have obtained some kind of elixir, and suddenly came to his senses, sat up straight and said, "What? Your surname is Liu, too? ”

Liu Qing had never thought of this, so he called it by this name when he crossed over, and replied, "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." ”

Liu Hong seemed to have subsided again, and returned to his previous listless appearance, as if he asked casually and deliberately: "A few days ago, Taiwei Liu Pingping decided that Zhang Chun rebelled, what do you think of the border troubles?" ”

Liu Qing only felt inexplicable, when he drank before, Kong Gong didn't say that there were as many filial piety as cattle and horses in each county in a year, but he just reported his place of origin at will, and the emperor could be awarded an official after looking at his appearance and talent, and the same was true for the old brothers in front of him, how could he suddenly have such a difficult performance? Isn't this dog emperor dissatisfied with the "dog" he raised when he scolds him, and deliberately makes things difficult for me?

The former eunuch Zhao Zhong thought in his heart was diametrically opposed to Liu Qing, why did the Son of Heaven suddenly ask this kid to make a decision, didn't he fall in love with this kid? Or did this person's words a few days ago enter the emperor's ears, and he is about to attack us?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the border troubles are too poor, the first is that the barbarians are too poor, always disturbing my Han, and the second is that their cavalry is as fast as the wind, today to rob, tomorrow to kill, which is hateful! Therefore, for these two kinds, you can send a general, lead the army to press the border, frustrate its vitality, this is one, so that after that, you can build a male pass, rely on this pass, and open the market with the barbarians, exchange food for horses, cut its support, this is the second, so, after the period of years, the border trouble can be solved, and there is no power to fight against my Han. ”

No matter what you think, the emperor can't help but answer when he asks, but fortunately, Liu Qing's knowledge reserve is enough, and it is quite easy to answer, and I don't know what the emperor thinks when he hears it.

Liu Hong raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed a few times, and he did not speak. gave a look to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch understood: "What kind of official do you think this Liu Guozhu is suitable for?" ”

The party has long seen Liu Qing's talents, at this time listening to him play such a good and square is not surprised, there are officials who were not at the banquet that night were shocked to hear, most of these people are neither a party nor a party of eunuchs, it can be said that the third party forces loyal to the emperor are all cited as good talents, and the performance wants Liu Qing to serve as the first class of Langzhongli.

Of course, the eunuch was not satisfied when he heard it, and he was selected to be the arranger, and he said bad things about us in the emperor's ear every day, and he wanted to kill us, and let you go there?

objected: "According to our family, it's still early to leave the place of Yilang, so it's better to give a Lang Zhong to be familiar with the affairs of the palace first, and then it's not too late to promote Lang." ”

This third party is weak and does not dare to argue, but Liu Qing has attended the dinner, issued the "Eunuch Declaration", and also put forward a good policy to let more party members enter the court as officials, this party has long regarded him as their own person, maybe Liu Qing entered the council, blowing the wind in the emperor's ear, and what he said that night was done, no matter how bad it is, with Liu Qing's talent, he will also be the general of the eunuch in the future, when will he not fight?

At this time, a party member with a smaller official position first rose up to object: "This is not true. I just listened to Guozhu's play, what else do such talents need to be familiar with? It is better to serve as a councillor and serve His Majesty as soon as possible. ”

Song Dian objected again and again to the hook shield with a smaller official position in the Ten Standing Servants: "Don't you hear that the general started from the army, this son is still young, and he still needs to be trained." ”

Some people in the party faction rose up to oppose it, and the official position was a little bigger than that person just now. After such a round of fighting, Liu Qing didn't remember how many people spoke, he only felt that his ears were noisy, he secretly meowed Liu Hong, only to see that he seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, and I don't know if the emperor was used to quarreling between the two parties, or did it intentionally.

Regarding Liu Qing's appointment, it seems that the eunuchs and party members have quarreled the most this year. It's that the Yuan family and Zhang Rang have gone down in person, and it seems that they will never rest if they don't fight for victory or loss.

In addition to these people, there is also a party of relatives, and the leader is He Jin, who saw that the two parties were fighting fiercely, so he did not speak.

At this time, he suddenly heard a silence in his ears, and deliberately stirred the muddy waters: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this Liu Guozhu has such a good plan for the border pass, it is better to seal the border pass and be a guard." ”

Wang Yun has some friendship with Liu Qing, he has an old relationship with Kong Rong, and said at this time: "The general is really joking, and he is filial piety and honesty to the border pass, even if I have no such precedent in the Han Dynasty." ”

Who knew that He Jin sold it again: "This is also true, it is better to come to my general's mansion to familiarize yourself with the important affairs of the border pass, and then it is not too late to decide where to go." ”

Okay! This is a robbery with us.

He Jin was out to rob people, Yuan Kui suddenly became imposing, took a step forward and said, "The general's words are wrong. Filial piety is raised to the palace as a lang is to contribute to His Majesty, how can there be a filial piety and honesty as a personal staff? ”

Before He Jin could speak, Zhao Zhong hurriedly said: "I think it's all right, I will go to the General's Mansion to familiarize myself with border affairs first, and it is just right for professionals to use it exclusively!" ”

Suddenly, Liu Hong opened his eyes, slapped the case in front of him angrily, and shouted: "This matter is over here, and we will discuss it in the future!" Retreat! ”

Liu Qing was stunned, what is going on? Big brother, don't leave yet, my official hasn't landed yet? Even if it's that Langzhong, it's okay, I don't pick it. It's really not good, just give one! No matter how bad it is, send it to the border and let me earn a military merit!

The emperor was angry, and the hundred officials were fighting for that on weekdays, but at this time, the development of the situation seemed to be beyond expectations, and everyone did not dare to come out, waiting for Liu Hong to get up and leave the hall.

Liu Hong squinted and glanced at Liu Qing, what did it mean that his eyes contained a lot of unknown things?

Liu Qing stood there thinking.

That night, many officials who knew Liu Qing saw Liu Qing as if they had seen a ghost, and they avoided him one after another, and they all left the hall in a hurry, unwilling to get involved in the slightest relationship, who would dare to mess with the emperor who did not confer officials? Needless to say, those eunuchs were arrogant, as if they had won some battle and returned, and sneered from time to time, as if telling the officials to stand in line, no matter how talented people are, they can't even give them officials!

Everyone was almost gone, and Zhao Zhong walked in front of Liu Qing, turned around three times, looked up at him, and said disdainfully: "Are you very talented?" What's the use of your talents, you have to have power and background when you come out to mix. Have you figured it out? ”

Liu Qing gritted his teeth and sneered: "My name is Liu Guozhu, and the help of the country is also!" What you don't like, Your Majesty may not like. ”

Zhao Zhong turned his back and sneered: "It turned out to be a little beggar, what is arrogant?" ”

Liu Qing also turned his back and left the main hall, and said fiercely: "Wait, Tianjie has stepped on the bones of the princess, and there will be a day when I will kill you." ”

Zhao Zhong only regarded it as a scholarly anger, and he was not convinced for a while, and sneered a few times, but did not take it to heart.

Cao Cao also heard about the eunuch's intention to target Liu Qing, and today he went to the court to see how Liu Qing responded. At the end of the court meeting, when he saw the conflict between Liu Qing and Zhao Zhong, he hid in the dark and eavesdropped. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, and at this time he happened to hear Liu Qing's cruel words. Walking up to Liu Qing's side, he seemed to smile and said, "The country has good ambitions." Tianjie stepped on the bones of the minister, I don't know who this minister is talking about? And what day is it? ”

When Liu Qing heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer. How can this Cao Cao be a goblin, can he overhear?

Before he could answer, Cao Cao laughed a few more times, and said straightly: "Let's go, Guozhu, today I will rest, drink together, listen to music, drink and talk about this world's major events, isn't it happy?" ”

Liu Qing was relieved at this time, but what did this Cao Cao mean?

During this period of time, I have been trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice, but the water in Luoyang is too muddy, the emperor, the party, the eunuchs, the relatives, the generals, seem to have walked into a ball of cotton, there is nowhere to make it, everywhere are the officials of the court, everywhere are the top people who are famous in the history books, and this one around him is even more heavyweight, "Three Kingdoms" commented: At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together, and Yuan Shao looked at the four states, and he was strong and invincible. Taizu strategized, whipped the universe, and the magic of Shen and Shang, the strange strategy of Han and Bai, the official material, each because of its instrument, hypocrisy, not thinking of the old evil, and finally being able to always conquer the emperor and become a flood industry, but its clear strategy is the best. Or can it be described as an extraordinary person, a masterpiece of the world.

A hero in troubled times, an extraordinary person, a supernatural master, who can guess his mind?

I had to reply, "Okay, I'm glad that a relative or friend has opened a tavern, so go to my place." ”

"Okay, call the original again, the three of us won't get drunk and won't return!"

At this time, several loud laughter suddenly came from the path outside Weiyang Palace.

This laughter was made by Liu Hong, the "filial piety" emperor who recognized eunuchs as his parents. He was surrounded by confidants, and the court officials and eunuchs were not there, so he could laugh out loud without worrying about it, and when he thought of today's court meeting, he couldn't help but laugh a few more times. I don't know what to think of, and the secret path is wrong.

Hurriedly instructed his cronies: "You quickly go to Zongzheng to get the genealogy, don't make a noise, if anyone else knows about this matter, I will punish you nine clans!" ”

When the man heard this, he was not afraid, as if he had put life and death aside for a long time, and said expressionlessly: "Oh." ”

Liu Hong smiled again: "I forgot that your parents are dead, and you have no relatives and friends, you are the only one left, what are the nine clans, hahaha." ”

He also instructed a person beside him: "Quickly go and find out what the origin of this Liu Qing is, and what exactly did he do when he was in Lujiang?" Why do you upset them? And what is the relationship with the party? What did he say at the Yuan Mansion dinner that day? One by one, as long as it is related to him, all of them will be reported, and no one will be allowed to know, go ahead, within a day, I will know all the things about Liu Qing. ”

"Whoa."
