Chapter 161: My Life Is Duty-Bound
"Yizhou and Jizhou?"
Liu Hong was lying on the bed, gasping, but when he was young, he saw him slowly closing his eyes and thinking about it.
"I understand, but I still need to discuss this matter with the secretaries of the court, after all, the matter is very important and cannot be done overnight, and when the next day comes, the two Aiqing still need to play, and they will make a decision after the public discussion."
Liu Jian knew that this was not Liu Hong's prevarication, and this matter was not something that the three Liu clan relatives could immediately settle down with a word from you.
After all, it is a shepherd, and if it is sent out, then in the future, whether it is the power of the military, political and wealthy people, this place will be owned by the shepherd and the keeper.
Moreover, this kind of thing also involves some of the ministers' power in the local area, and after the establishment of the pastor, because the counties under the jurisdiction of the pastoral guard are only for the shepherd, it involves the annual evaluation of the counties under its jurisdiction, and it is necessary to have a set of plans different from other states and counties, and remake and prepare a specific process system.
These things are not something that the emperor can touch with his lips and touch with his mouth.
The procedure for referendum between the DPRK and China cannot be saved.
At the beginning, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Jian were temporary shepherds in Jizhou, more because Jizhou was the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army.
At that time, the Yellow Turban War was initially decided, and the biggest reason why the three of them were appointed as pastoral envoys in Jizhou was simply because the Yellow Turbans had just been pacified, and the three of them needed to be stationed in Jizhou to deter.
But now that the shepherds are in the pastor, the situation is a little different.
This is the supreme governor of a state who really rules a state for the imperial court in a non-war period! In a sense, in the place under its jurisdiction, the shepherd is equivalent to the existence of the emperor, which can be described as a state within a state.
Subsequently, after saying a few more words, Liu Hong finally couldn't stay up, the emperor lay down to rest, and Liu Jian and Liu Yan immediately bowed and dismissed.
……
Out of the West Garden, Liu Yan was excited, he happily greeted Liu Jian, and said, "Go, Deran! There is nothing to do today, go home with the old man, today's big event is done, you and I need not to get drunk and have no home!"
Liu Jian didn't have such a good mood as Liu Yan.
He smiled and arched his hand: "It's not strange to be too often, there are still some trivial matters at home today, and it is inconvenient to go, so when I take care of the affairs at home, I will go to Taichang's mansion to see you one day!"
Liu Yan is also a measured person, he looked at Liu Jian's expression, and he really had something on his mind, so he didn't persuade him, and then left with Dong Fu.
I guess the two of them should have run back to celebrate.
It is estimated that the two old men will have to drink Mengzi tonight.
Looking at Liu Yan's back as he disappeared into the distance, Liu Jian sighed lightly and shook his head.
Liu Yanzhi is in a corner of peace, avoiding disputes and not wanting to pay attention to the affairs of the world, and his strategic goal is relatively easy to achieve.
But I'm different.
His goals and aspirations are much higher than Liu Yan's.
But correspondingly, the higher the ideals and aspirations, the more difficult it is to realize.
The path of thorns may only begin now.
……
……
Returning to his mansion, Liu Jian saw Zheng Ci and his son, and he told Zheng Ci that he might have to go to the local area to work as a shepherd.
Liu Jian also informed Liu Bei of the news that Liu Hong would marry Liu Bei and Cao's family.
Then he locked himself in his study and did not take a single step. ….
Zheng Ci wanted to ask Liu Jian, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.
Subsequently, Zheng Ci personally cooked, cooked food for Liu Jian, and asked the maidservants to find Bian Yuer and ask her to send it to Liu Jian for herself.
……
After a while, when it was dinner time, Liu Jian was still in the study, holding the "Wu Sun Tzu Soldier's Machine" given to him by Sun Jian, watching for a while, wandering for a while, watching for a while, and wandering for a while.
It's not that he doesn't want to focus on the military book, it's just that there are too many distractions in his heart now.
"Smack!"
Liu Jian threw Jian Mu on the table and rubbed his aching temples.
The affairs of the state pastor seem to have come to an end, and he is about to dominate the party, but he is worried
Things seemed to come one after another, one after another in Liu Jian's heart.
Just then, the door to the study opened.
Liu Jian looked sideways, but it was the tall Bian Yuer who entered the house with a tray of food.
"Shaojun, it's time to eat."
Liu Jian casually pointed on the table, "Let it go."
Bian Yuer put the food on Liu Jian's table, but did not go out, but stood aside.
"Why don't you go?"
"Shaojun, Madame has an order, let the watch Shaolangjun eat all the food before she can go out."
Liu Jian sighed lightly when he heard this.
This lady of your own family......
He picked up his chopsticks and put a little pickled vegetables and dried tofu in his mouth.
"This is Madame's own cooking, isn't it?" Liu Jian looked at Bian Yu'er who was standing beside him.
"Can Shaojun eat it?"
Liu Jian took another sip of sunflower soup and said, "I can naturally eat the taste of my wife's cooking...... Like this soup, it is not from the lady's hand, but it is not made by the cook, it is a bit fat and powdery, it should be made by the ladies of the house."
"Back to Shaojun, the kwai soup is made by a cheap maid."
Liu Jian nodded, and he said while eating, "Since Madame cooks for me, why didn't she send it herself, but let you come?"
Bian Yu'er said softly: "Shaojun, Madame is afraid that seeing you at this time will cause Shaojun to hurt, and I want to wait for Shaojun to figure out what worries in his heart, and then come to see Shaojun."
Liu Jian's chopsticks stopped picking up vegetables.
"Madame, may I say, what am I anxious about?"
Bian Yu'er said, "Madame said that the ancients said that those who can eat wine and meat can be whipped with it. Those who can be awarded official titles can be given special awards. Today, the young monarch is under the emperor's official rule, guarding one side, and the women and children in the family must stay in Luoyang. This is what the young monarch is worried about."
Liu Jian's expression didn't change much, he just continued to eat silently.
When he was young, he heard Liu Jian suddenly ask Bian Yu'er, "What does Yu'er think about this?"
Bian Yuer said: "The cheap maid was born in a humble background, she doesn't know poetry and books, and she doesn't understand the principles of saints, but when she was a concubine, she heard Weng say an ancient saying: If you call the middle of the day, the moon will be lost, the heaven and the earth will be empty, and the news will be in time. Although Shaojun will be separated from his wife for a while because he has been released from the big position, as long as he can follow the fortune of the times, the concubine believes that when the time comes, the troubles will naturally be reversed, and the young monarch will definitely have the opportunity to reunite with his family again."
"Good, good!"
Liu Jian finished the meal in a big gulp, then put down the chopsticks, got up and said, "I have been lucky in my life that I have met two virtuous women! The Liu family has no worries about the inner door!" ….
Then he got up and walked out of the door.
"What is this going to do, young man?"
Liu Jian didn't look back, but said aloud: "I've figured out the worries in my heart, so naturally I want to go to see Madame!"
……
……
When she came to the door, she saw Zheng Ci standing in the courtyard in white clothes, and she watched Liu Jian walk out of the room with a smile on her face.
"The husband has been thinking hard in the house for an afternoon, and he is finally willing to come out?" Zheng Ci stepped forward and gently took Liu Jian's hand.
Liu Jian sighed: "I thought about it, but in the end, there is still no way for you and the child to leave Luoyang with me, but don't worry, three years ...... No! Two years! Up to two years! I will definitely find a way to get you out of Luoyang, and then our family can be reunited."
Zheng Ci shook his head and said, "My husband's heart is about the world, and since I should put the world first, the duty of pastoral care is very important, and my husband is the first pastoral envoy set up by His Majesty, how can Your Majesty let me and other family members accompany me?"
"It seems that the wife of the concubine and the original wife, as well as the sister-in-law of the fragrant child's family, must stay in Luoyang as a hostage."
"The husband is born to work hard outside, so he doesn't have to worry about it, but after he becomes a shepherd, he must implement benevolent government in the local area."
"If the husband has yin virtue, the yang will repay him, the virtue is unknown, and benevolence will eliminate all evils."
"If that's the case, we'll be husband and wife, as well as Jun and Xiang's father
Son, sooner or later we will see you again."
Liu Jian clenched Zheng Ci's hand: "Madame understands me like this, I am very at ease!" But don't worry, Madame, you are not a hostage in name, as long as you don't leave Luoyang City, Your Majesty will not do anything to you, and in Luoyang, there is Xuande, and the wife of the family can decide herself, and if there is any difficulty in foreign affairs, you can find Liu Xuande!"
Zheng Ci nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, husband, don't say anything else, Luoyang City is rich in materials, our mother and son are here, but it may be better than in the local prefecture and county, there is really a difficulty, it's a big deal that the concubine goes to the gate of Yuan Junhou's mansion to beg hard."
Liu Jian said with a smile: "Yes, at a critical time, Mrs. can also find Yuan Shiji."
Zheng Ci looked at Bian Yu'er, who was not far away, and said, "Yu'er, the next day your husband will be sent to take office, so you can follow your husband." I'm not here, you need to be by your husband's side to serve and take care of you."
Liu Jian said: "No need, the ladies in the house are all left to serve you and the children, and there are people around me."
Zheng Ci smiled: "No matter how many people around you are, but there is no one in the family to follow the intimacy, Yu'er I have observed for a long time in the past six months, she is frugal by nature, not gorgeous, angry and unpleasant, so it is the most difficult."
"I can also see that you like her, she doesn't have an official title now, it's better to take this opportunity to take her as a concubine, a concubine room with nothing to go out of Beijing with you, Your Majesty will not take care of it, and let Yu'er take care of it by your side, I can rest assured."
When Bian Yu'er heard this, her eyes were sour, and she knelt down in front of Zheng Ci: "Madame's kindness, the cheap maid has nothing to repay, the cheap maid remembers the lady's entrustment, and is willing to guard the young monarch with her life."
Zheng Ci hurriedly helped Bian Yu'er up and said, "There is no need to be like this, there is no need to be called a maid in the future, you and I are just sisters...... My sister will hand over her husband to you today."
Bian Yu'er pursed her mouth and nodded tearfully.
Liu Jian held Zheng Ci's hand and said, "Madame, take care! You and Xiang Boy have been waiting for me for two years!"
Zheng Ci also said: "The husband is also cherished, the concubine is not old, the fragrant child is still young, and he can wait for twenty years."
After talking with Zheng Ci, Liu Jian's determination became more and more firm.
Even though the road ahead is full of thorns, he will also move forward with his sword, and there will never be half a point of cowardice.
From now on, his life will be without hesitation!
On the second day, Liu Jian went out early.
He's going to see someone.
……
……
"What? Who do you say is coming?"
In the courtyard of the house, Xu You, who was studying, heard the words of the servant, and was so shocked that he almost didn't drop the slip in his hand to the ground.
"The head of the family, someone came to send a famous thorn, claiming to be Liu Jian, the speaker of the house."
"Is it him?"
Xu You hurriedly tidied up his clothes, ordered the maid to bring a bronze mirror, brushed her hair well, and then straightened her back and said, "Lead me to see!"
While walking towards the outside of the house, Xu You was puzzled in his heart.
"Why did he come to me out of nowhere?"
It's no wonder that Xu You is suspicious, although Liu Jian and Xu You are both descendants of the Yuan family, but Liu Jian is Yuan Ji's close friend, and Xu You is Yuan Shao's running friend, the two have seen each other at the Yuan family's banquet, and they don't have much contact on weekdays.
Today, Liu Jian ran to Xu You's door, and Xu You naturally didn't know why.
