Just when Liu Jian and Liu Bei were suspicious about the matter of peace with the Cao family, on the other side, Cao Ren and Cao Chun, who were heading to Cao's mansion, were constantly venting their dissatisfaction with Cao Cao.

"Big brother, I really don't know, the Yuan family asked us to promise our sister to that Liu Bei, you really promised to promise that Liu Bei? So what kind of background is Liu Bei? Takeo Ichiko, a border gun! I heard that his family had neither land nor wealth in Zhuo County, and that he had a poor life when he was a child, and he relied on his uncle's financial support.

Cao Chun also said: "This is exactly what you say! Eldest brother, this matter was directly rejected by the Yuan family, just because they wanted to tie Liu Jian to the Yuan family's chariot, but they wanted to sacrifice our Cao family's daughter! It's not worth it!"

Cao Cao sat in the car, looking at his two younger brothers with blazing eyes, and did not answer in a hurry.

When he was young, Fang heard him slowly speak, "Two virtuous brothers, do you know what a hero is?"

When Cao Ren and Cao Chun heard this, they were stunned.

Good and dignified, what are you talking about? Aren't they talking to Cao Cao about the Liu brothers in Zhuo County?

How did it get to the hero?

Cao Ren arched his hand and said, "I don't know, and I ask the eldest brother for advice."

Cao Cao took a long breath and said, "Husband and hero, you can dismantle these two words and solve them,"

"One character is 'English', and the other word is 'male',"

"The British can be described as heroic, smart and showy, often shown between the eyebrows, and the laity often call it "righteousness","

"A man who is brave and ambitious is called a man,"

"Those who support ambition are concerned about the lives of the people in the world, and they are committed to the society of the country, and they are not happy with the pleasures of the laity, but happy with the joy of the world, not sad with the sorrows of ordinary people, but sad with the lives of temples."

Cao Chun seemed to understand and asked, "Then according to the eldest brother's opinion, who can be described as a hero? Who is the hero?"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Ren and Cao Chun, and said, "From my point of view, it seems that the two of you, Yuan Ji of Yongle Shaofu, and that Liu Xuande can be regarded as Ying."

Cao Ren and Cao Chun didn't expect that Cao Cao and Liu Bei hadn't known each other for a long time, and they would have such a high evaluation of him that they would put him alongside Yuan Ji.

Cao Ren wondered, "Who can be said to be a hero?"

"It seems like Cao, Yuan Benchu, and Liu Deran, and they can be regarded as heroes."

Cao Chun was surprised and said, "These people that my brother said are all suitable people to participate in the banquet! According to the eldest brother, among the people at the banquet, including the eldest brother himself, they are all heroes or heroes, but no one can bear the word "hero"?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "The so-called heroes do not specifically refer to the pillars of the country who stand in the high temple, from the generals and princes to the hermit philistines, all of whom can hide heroes! What is a hero? Those who are tolerant can swallow mountains and rivers with anger, and those who accept can also accept all rivers and rivers, have a lot of wealth without publicity, and have power without being manic!"

"Walk in the grass, and do not seek food and clothing. It is located in the people's ministers, and not ostentatious."

"Some of the people at the banquet can be "heroes", some people can be "heroes", but none of them can be heroes! Maybe in the future, the people listed by the brother may become heroes, but at least not now! Not even for my brother."

Cao Ren seemed to understand a little: "Although he is not a hero, Liu Xuande is already a "hero" in the heart of the eldest brother! Moreover, Liu Deran behind him is already a "male"!" ….

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, calling Liu Deran 'Xiong' is well-deserved, and there is no need to explain more...... As for that Liu Bei, who has been friends with him for a long time as a brother, he deeply feels that this person is very popular, resolute-willed, and generous-natured, and he is not equal to leisure!"

"Having an in-law with someone like Liu Jian and Liu Bei is not a bad thing for the Cao family."

"To put it mildly, even if they are enemies with the two of them in the future and are defeated, rushing to this in-law may also leave a way out for the Cao family."

Cao Chun laughed: "Big brother, what kind of nonsense are you? That's it!"

Cao Cao didn't laugh, he just looked out of the car, narrowed his eyes and said, "Friends and foes, common sense in the world, I have a premonition for my brother, and I don't want to be attached to the Yuan family for a long time, and I am not the only one who is the Cao family."

……

……

On the other hand, after Liu Jian returned home, he sent someone to give Liu Yan a famous thorn the next day, and then he went to his mansion to meet him in person.

Maybe now, only Liu Yan can solve Liu Jian's doubts.

Because of what Liu Jian and Liu Yan are plotting in their hearts, the two have long been tacitly aware of each other, and in a sense, these two people who are on the same rope can be more outspoken in some words.

After the meeting, Liu Jian didn't hide it, and directly told Liu Yan about Yuan Ji's invitation to him to the banquet yesterday and wanted Liu Bei to marry Cao Ren's sister.

Liu Yan's old woman is cunning, so she naturally understands what Liu Jian means when she comes to him.

This is because he has been absent from Luoyang for a long time, and he has come to explore the wind by himself.

However, there are some things that should indeed be talked to Liu Jian.

It is indeed imminent.

Liu Yan stroked his goat's beard and said slowly, "Recently, several major events have indeed happened in the imperial court."

"One of them is that Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are unfavorable in Liangzhou, and the four governments have just drafted an official document to grant the new Sikong Zhang the right to take a break and go to Liangzhou to ask for Beigong Boyu."

Liu Jian asked, "Anything else?"

This time the war in Liangzhou is indeed related to the fate and future of the Han Dynasty in the west, but it has nothing to do with his side at present.

Liu Yan continued slowly: "Your Majesty wants to set up a headquarters in the West Garden, organize a new army, and set up eight captains in the West Garden."

"The Eighth Captain of the West Garden?" Liu Jian was shocked.

Set it now?

No wonder Cao Cao was not sent to Jinan to serve as prime minister, this should be the preparation of Yuan Ji's forces in order to compete for the position of the schools in the West Garden, so Cao Cao was left behind!

The purpose of the Eighth School of the West Garden is because the Han Dynasty has experienced the Yellow Turban War and the Liangzhou War, including the rest of the Yellow Turban in various places, and the imperial court has used more and more troops, and He Jin, as a general, has also made the military power in his hands more and more solid with the increase of rebellions in various places.

Although He Jin was not from a high-ranking family, his relatives' authority in the Han military was too heavy, so it was naturally not something Liu Hong wanted to see, and the establishment of the Eighth School of the West Garden to limit the power of the general was indeed necessary from the emperor's point of view.

The problem is that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just turned its second year, and although the wars in various places have gone crazy, it stands to reason that Liu Hong's psychological defense line has not yet been broken through..........

Thinking of this, Liu Jian's heart couldn't help but wake up suddenly.

He looked at Liu Yan suspiciously and asked, "May I ask Taichang, how is Your Majesty's body now?"

This sentence is to the point.

Liu Yan sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that Liu Jian's vision was keen and unique.

"Your Majesty's body, since the turn of the year, has not been very good, coughing repeatedly, and high fever for a long time, sometimes good and sometimes bad, alas...... Do you know what the old man means?"

Liu Jian said in a low voice, "Doctor Cheng, can you tell me what kind of illness Your Majesty has?"

Liu Yan's face turned a little ugly in an instant, and he seemed to be hesitating to tell Liu Jian the truth.

After a little hesitation, Liu Yan finally decided to tell the truth.

"De Ran, after the imperial physician Cheng diagnosed His Majesty's pulse, His Majesty strictly ordered the Medical Department to keep this matter secret and not allowed to spread it, but after all, I can't escape the ears and eyes of Yuan's Yang and others, alas, Deran, Your Majesty got it...... It's a boil!"

When Liu Jian heard this, his heart suddenly changed.

The so-called scabies is a general term, which can be divided into corpse scabies, labor boils, insect boils, to put it bluntly, tuberculosis.

In the Han Dynasty, when health care was almost equal to zero, people with tuberculosis were basically equivalent to stepping into the capital of Artemisia with one foot.

In history, there should be about three years before the day when Liu Hong should really die.

If what Liu Yan said is true, then Liu Hong's days may really be running out.

If there is no standardized treatment for boils, under normal circumstances, the person who gets the disease will be slowly eroded, and the person with average health is basically the same

I couldn't survive for three years.

And Liu Hong's rotten physique,......

Liu Hong in history normally lived to be thirty-two years old.

And according to Liu Jian's understanding of Liu Hong, he has been addicted to alcohol all these years, and his body has been a mess, according to his physical fitness, and if people with scabies are not effectively treated, they are prone to lung infection, or a series of complications.

If you are really not careful, and there is another typhoid fever, then Liu Hong will definitely confess here.

No wonder Yuan Ji will urgently force himself to stand in line, it turns out that this is because of this reason.

The Yuan family knew that Liu Hong's time was short, and once a new emperor was established, the political power in the center of the imperial court was likely to be divided again.

Therefore, Yuan Ji now needs to unite all the forces that can "determine" unity.

But having said that, Liu Hong is afraid that he will not die in a moment, if it is really because of the marriage with the Cao family, and he is delayed to be sent to the local pastor, it will really be more than worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian hurriedly looked at Liu Yan and asked him, "Too often, Jian has something to inquire about."

"Deran, please speak."

"Your Majesty, how is he doing now?"

"It's not very good, I cough every day, I often have chills, I lie on the bed most of the time to rest, I don't have any energy, and I don't even ......."

"Even, listening to Zhang Rangyan, Your Majesty has not been fortunate with any colorful girls for a month, which has never happened in the past, Your Majesty was fortunate every day before he was sick."

"Oh, I see."

Liu Jian nodded suddenly.

"In this way, Jian has something to ask Taichang and Dong Gong to help."

Liu Yan was quite arrogant to him: "Deran, but it doesn't hurt to say."

Liu Jian immediately got up, came to Liu Yan's ear, and whispered a few words softly.

Liu Yan listened to Liu Jian's words, and his spirit suddenly perked up.

He looked at Liu Jian in surprise and sighed: "De Ran is quick to think and has a lot of plans, which really makes the old man admire, rest assured, this matter is on the old man!"

"Thank you so much!"

Liu Yan said again: "The old man didn't expect that His Majesty's body would become like this in an instant, and the matter of you and me establishing a pastoral policy can not be delayed any longer, the old man wants to choose a day to invite De Ran to enter the palace together, please ask Your Majesty to settle this matter, what does De Ran think?"

Liu Jian said, "That's what I mean! There must be no further delay in the establishment of a shepherd! Let's choose a day and enter the palace immediately!"
