The fingertips are wrapped with a faint aroma, like the bitter sweetness of tea.

Madame's carriage was long gone, but her beautiful face, her eyes as bright as the moon, and the faint sorrow between her brows lingered.

Guo Jia has only seen this kind of emotion in one person, and that is Su Meiniang.

Could it be ......

"My lord, we're here to do something." Xiao Zhan reminded him of the gods, and it was obvious that he saw a shocking glimpse of his own lord and the woman.

Guo Jia said indifferently: "You haven't been beaten for a few days, and your skin is itchy, right?" ”

"My lord, when I didn't say it."

Xiao Zhan had a strong desire to survive, and soon quieted down.

Guo Jia thought about the situation in Beijing reported by Jin Yiwei, and put a handkerchief on the tip of his nose from time to time, as if this would make his thinking clearer.

Good tender little hands, good bright eyes, good white skin......

The convoy drove all the way through the noisy streets and headed straight for Mi's shop in Luoyang City, which was the foothold that Guo Jia had chosen in advance.

If you are pretending to be a businessman, you must act realistically, so that it is not easy to be recognized.

——

Ahem...... Ahem......

The Jiade Palace, which should have been peaceful, was broken by the coughing sound that sounded from time to time, Liu Hong took away the handkerchief that covered his mouth, and the white silk was already a touch of blood.

As the master of the body, no one knows the state of his body better than himself, and can even sense that his limit is approaching.

He was at the peak of a man's age, but he was hollowed out by wine, and he was almost exhausted.

Liu Hong's eyes showed a hint of relief, he was tired of falling into the intrigue between the court and the harem all day long.

He had to admit that he was a failed emperor.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been fighting hard against the family, even going so far as to launch a second party rebellion. But he failed, and in the end, in order to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he even had to make compromises.

The family is deeply entrenched, and it can't be disintegrated overnight, at least not because he can't. It is better to fall from power than to collapse a building.

That's fine.

However, as the son of the Han Dynasty, what should be done is still to be done.

"Why hasn't Jian Shuo arrived yet?"

"Your Majesty, the slave has already sent someone to summon it, and it must be there soon."

Zuo Feng's face was a little complicated, and the Son of Heaven's condition was getting worse day by day, which made him worry all day long.

It's not that they are loyal to the Son of Heaven, but that their eunuch group is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and they almost provoke the ministers of the DPRK and China.

It is foreseeable what kind of situation they will face once the Son of Heaven dies.

Will the new Son of Heaven continue to favor them? Even if he could, how could the young Son of Heaven be able to suppress this full house?

This is also the reason why he chose to secretly communicate with Liu Bei, ants are still greedy, let alone human?

He wants to fight for a glimmer of life for himself.

Thinking of that letter and the upcoming Jianshuo, Zuo Feng's heart suddenly became hot.

Only the state pastor can save our family!

A moment later, a small eunuch walked briskly into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the captain of the military academy has arrived outside the palace."

"Let him in."

"Whoa!"

Not long after the little eunuch retreated, he saw a middle-aged man striding into the hall. Although he was born as a eunuch, his whole image is different from Zuo Feng and others, and he has the style of a military general.

"Minister, knock to see Your Majesty."

"Let's be flat."

Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo, the tiredness on his face suddenly dissipated, and he said slowly: "Do you know why I arranged for you to serve as the commander of the West Garden Army?" ”

This......

Jian Shuo hesitated a little, the answer to this question was already obvious, but it was not suitable to say.

Liu Hong said in a deep voice: "Say it directly! ”

Jian Shuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty wants to let the ministers balance the general. ”

"Wrong!"

Jian Shuo was puzzled.

Liu Hong sneered: "He Jin is just a butcher, an incompetent person, why do you need checks and balances?" ”

The tone is undisguised with contempt, contempt...... And a hint of disappointment.

Once he wanted to use He Jin to balance the family, who knew that this person was extremely mediocre, and the dignified general was actually willing to be a puppet of the family, even Dou Wu was inferior.

Do you really think those families are really gentlemen?

Scold~

What the eunuch Wanfu refers to is just a slave of the Son of Heaven, and the power of life and death is in his hands.

The family is deep-rooted and embarrassed, and only these people can threaten the imperial power.

Zuo Feng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, when Queen He first entered the palace, she was the most favored by His Majesty, but now the two are like enemies.

Power~

can make father and son turn against each other, brothers kill each other, and loving couples gradually drift apart.

Liu Hong continued: "What I want to check and balance is this full court, even Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others under your command. ”

"You have to remember that you are the commander of the West Park Army, no matter how prominent these people are, you are handsome, they are just generals...... Ahem! ”

Xu was too excited, and Liu Hong coughed up a mouthful of blood again.

"Your Majesty, watch out for the dragon body." Zuo Feng looked concerned, after all, the emperor's life and death were related to his life, at least until he found a new backer, the emperor could not die.

Liu Hong glanced at him lightly, and continued to say to Jian Shuo: "I hope you don't forget your identity, He Jin can wag his tail and beg for mercy from them, but you can't." ”

"After all, those people are always thinking about getting rid of you."

Jian Shuo knew that the Son of Heaven was beating him, and hurriedly said, "Minister, follow Your Majesty's teachings." ”

"Stand down, all step down, I want to be alone."

"Whoa."

After the two left, Liu Hong muttered to himself in his heart.

Xie'er, can you support this great country?

If not, who should support the Han family?

LIU Yan, LIU Yu...... It's still Liu Bei!

That's it, I'm just a dying man, why do I want to do so much?

Liu Wei: Why didn't my father say a word to his sons?

On the other side, Zuo Feng sent Jian Shuo out of the hall all the way to a no-man's land.

"Your Majesty's meaning, I guess Captain Jian already understands, so we don't need to say more, right?"

"Zuo Shilang may as well say it if he has something to say."

Jian Shuo knew that Zuo Feng must have something important to accompany him all the way, otherwise with the weak friendship between the two, there was no need for the other party to be so polite.

Zuo Feng smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Does Captain Jian think he can fight He Jin?" ”

"What do you mean by this?"

"What our family means is that now we are grasshoppers on a rope, so we might as well join forces to protect ourselves, how about it?"

Jian Shuo looked Zuo Feng up and down a few times when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Zuo Shilang has the intention of joining the Xiyuan Army?" If it was Zuo Shilang, he would have been able to hire him exceptionally. ”

Zuo Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a smiling expression.

"Captain Jian is funny, but our family doesn't know martial arts, so we can't fight with the Yulin Army. But...... Our family has found a reinforcement for Captain Jian to fight. ”

"Oh?"

"Captain Jian will find out later."

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he twisted his waist and walked away, leaving Jian Shuo with an infinitely beautiful back.

Jian Shuo was confused, but he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it, and returned to his mansion after leaving the palace.

Late at night, an uninvited guest came to the house.

"The head of the family, a businessman who calls himself Xiao Yan asks to see him."
