"People say that Yang Dezu is quick to think, does a good job, is not used to being constrained, and is not subject to discussion, but why is he cautious and doesn't even drink alcohol?"

Yang Xiu glanced at the official contemptuously, "This is not my wish, but there is a shortage of food in Luoyang, and there is not enough food for people, so how can I get alcohol?" ”

Zang Hong finally moved uneasily.

As the night approached, the guests dispersed, leaving only the messenger who had stayed overnight and the sorrowful host.

"I don't want to serve the imperial court," Zang Hong said bitterly, "It's just that Youzhou is in trouble this year, and Yecheng has an order to requisition grain to be transported to ......."

Yang Xiu looked at him calmly.

This is impossible, the grain is in Dongjun, not only is it impossible to transport it to Youzhou, but even only from Youzhou to Dongjun.

Because of the two consecutive wars in Qingzhou, the plain has been beaten to a very desolate level, and even the two sides of the Jishui River between the plains and the North Sea are no longer inhabited.

In such a no-man's land, there is no way to recruit people, let alone collect grain, and Yuan Shao is unwilling to fight in such a place as a last resort.

- His other exit to the south is only Dongjun.

Therefore, Yuan Shao will definitely tell him to put away the batch of grain that Dongjun received this autumn, not a single grain will flow out, and hoard it until the time is ripe in two or three years, and the Jizhou army will move south in a big way and attack Qingxu from Dongjun.

And the matter of "starving the Son of Heaven" is also one of the "opportunities" that Yuan Shao needs.

"The envoy is a subordinate of Duke Yuan, I shouldn't be embarrassed for you."

Zang Hong sighed and didn't say anything.

"But there are already many hungry people on the streets of Luoyang, so I will see it in person."

Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the eastern county guard.

"I know that if the envoy transports the grain from the Eastern County to Luoyang, Yuan Gong will be furious, and it may even be unfavorable to the envoy," Yang Xiu said coldly, "However, if the envoy eats two thousand stone of Hanlu, he can't save the Son of Heaven or the people!" ”

Zang Hong's lips trembled, and his face turned red, "Dezu, Dezu...... I ......"

But his pain didn't seem to be noticed by the other party, Yang Xiu's tone was questioning, and his eyes were also questioning:

"When he was ordered to visit Dongjun, the Son of Heaven asked the next question."

"What, what's the problem?"

"Jun Fei Hanchenye?"

When this question was asked, Zang Hong's tiger eyes finally rolled down tears.

"I am Hanchen! My father also received 2,000 stone from the Han family! He replied, almost like a roar, "Don't provoke me!" Tomorrow, I will prepare grain and grass, order all the soldiers and horses, and I will personally send the grain to Luoyang! ”

Yang Xiu looked at him silently for a while, then suddenly came out from behind the case, lifted his robe, and bowed to him!

"The people of Ruoyang are all grateful for the virtue of the king!" He said solemnly, "If Yuan Shao raises troops in the future, Xiu will try to save the envoy!" If you can't save it, you're willing to die together! ”

When Zang Hong set up troops and horses to transport grain and grass to Luoyang, someone in the county had quietly reported the matter to Yecheng.

Although the lord of Yecheng was ill some time ago and his letters to Zang Hong were very lazy, he seemed to be well at this time.

For three consecutive days, every day a messenger Pegasus sent a letter, and the tone was more severe than the other, asking Zang Hong not to transport grain and grass to Luoyang.

Every envoy was left in the Taishou Mansion by Zang Hong, and it was not until this army of soldiers and horses brought 50,000 stone of grain that they set off from Dong County and went to Luoyang through Hanoi County, and the envoys were released and returned to Yecheng in a hurry to report to Yuan Shao.

"I have always valued Zang Ziyuan," Yuan Shao sighed, "I know that he is a person who values love and righteousness, and he will definitely not betray me." ”

"It's a pity that for him, the Han family is above the lord." Xu You said lightly.

"How should I behave?"

"He doesn't listen to the lord's orders anymore," Xu You said with a smile, "how should the lord behave?" ”

Yuan Benchu on the couch lay down for a long time, and finally sat up.

"I'll have to fight it anyway," he muttered, "and the generals will find it for me, and then order the generals to count the soldiers and horses, and arrange the grain and grass." ”

Xu You was very happy, "Yes! ”

Chapter 333

It's snowing in Ruoyang.

In front of the vermilion courtyard, on the dark steps, the snowflakes fell softly, covering the broken corners of the eaves, the cracks of the steps, and the paint that had not been painted for a long time, so the cracked paint was all covered, and even the traces of the slightest flame in the corner were gently covered.

So walking on the road connecting the north and south palaces, beautiful like a rainbow bridge, looking at it, it is still magnificent and magnificent, and the royal spirit has not been dimmed in the capital of the Han Dynasty.

After Fu cleaned up very plainly on weekdays, but today she changed into a splendid dress, put on a fur coat, followed the Son of Heaven, and slowly passed by.

Huang Men carried Yu and followed with bated breath for more than a dozen steps.

"How beautiful this snow is," Fu Hou sighed softly, "It's no wonder that the girls in the Jiaofang Palace have run out to enjoy the snow, and even the concubines are interested." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, but his face showed a little worry, "The snow came earlier than usual this winter, I don't know how the people in the city are." ”

"The grain from East County is already on the way, and it will arrive in a few days." She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, after eating Han Lu for a long time, there must still be a piece of loyalty." ”

"A minister said to me that this is Zang Hong's own loyalty, not Yuan Shao's," the emperor still walked slowly with the empress, his steps were not hurried, and his voice was so calm, "If you talk about loyalty to the Han family, I am afraid that it is not as good as Liu Bei." ”

Fu Hou's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he glanced at him quickly.

"Your Majesty believes Liu Bei?"

"After all, he is my clansman," the emperor's gaze was still gentle, with a little reassurance, "I naturally believe him more." ”

Is Liu Bei loyal to the Han family? Naturally loyal, how can it not be faithful?! He himself is a relative of the Han family, which means that he also has the right to inherit this great inheritance!

Although Liu Bei's royal lineage can be traced back to Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the former Han Dynasty, and the blood relationship between him and today's son is almost not worth mentioning, what is so rare about this?

The blood relationship between the ancestor Liu Xiu and Emperor Ping is also far from being worth mentioning!

Fu Hou has always had such a calculation in his heart:

If Yuan Shao wants to steal the artifact, everyone in the world will ask for it, and everyone in the world will punish him! Not only the Hanchen of Luoyang would oppose him, but Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang...... These Han clan relatives will never tolerate him!

There are also those scholars in Jizhou, are they willing to bear the infamy of Han thieves?

Yuan Shao's resistance will be unprecedented, and on his way to usurption, as long as he is not careful, he will be defeated by the princes.

And in Fu Hou's heart, about Yuan Shao, she thinks there is still a disadvantage.

- But Liu Bei has no such resistance and disadvantage.

He is a clansman, he is young, he became an emperor, and the Han is still the Han! All Hanchen don't have to worry about infamy!

"Your Majesty, the matter of the ancestors is still in front of you!"

"The queen is worried about Liu Bei, so isn't she worried about Yuan Shao?"

Fu Hou's hand gently rested on his arm, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard that Yuan Shao dotes on his young son?" ”

The young emperor's brow furrowed slightly, not understanding what she wanted to say.

"Pamper your young son, this is the way to get rid of trouble," she smiled, "I'm afraid that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will both come to ask Your Majesty for your grace, what does Your Majesty have to worry about?" ”

The Son of Heaven's brows widened suddenly, and he nodded slightly.

As they approached the exit, the white light reflected from the snow illuminated their front, enveloping the entire court in a glow as clean as silver.

Liu Xie stared at the halo, as if he was looking at his infinitely bright future, there was still a shadow in his heart, but he didn't grasp it, but let it slip by.

The red light in the brazier flowed quietly, as if it was a living and living beast, lurking in the ashes, watching every move of the people in the room with a pair of cold red eyes.

After Guo Jiaxunyou and others read the letter, they sent the letter back to Cao Cao's case without saying a word.

The Yanzhou pastor leaned on the table, his expression was extremely calm, but he kept pressing his temples with his knuckles intentionally or unintentionally.

"Liu Bei borrowed from me and wanted to go to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven, is it true or false?"

"It's a deliberate embarrassment for the lord." Guo Jia quickly came to this conclusion.

Cao Cao's temples gradually flushed with a pale red, which was obviously exertional.

"Why?"

"The lord borrowed this road from him, did he really ride lightly?" Guo Jia said with a smile, "He wants to lead his troops and horses across the border, and I'm afraid he will be indispensable to a few fierce generals around him." ”

"If the lord lets him into Yanzhou, he will not have the heart to destroy Yu (guo Ersheng) in a false way, and he will have to think about it," Xun You said, "Besides, Liu Bei is very ambitious, and he must be on guard against destroying my heart, so the lord should strengthen his vigilance, and Chen soldiers will be in Dongjun and Nanyang." ”

The stormy headache just now is finally over.

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, he felt the fatigue after a burst of pain, but he knew very well that he still had one more thing to do.

"Fool Zang Hong, I'm afraid I'm going to mistake me," he said, "He is the primordial minister, I can't send troops to stop it now, or let Liu Ziyang plot from it." ”

At the beginning of the sunny day after the snow, there were small officials on the street who led the handymen to patrol around to see if there were any people who had frozen to death on the side of the road.

But this does not affect the mood of the nobles, such a good weather, just right for enjoyment.

For example, Zhong Xuan ordered the servants to open all the windows at this time, and while writing, he also stopped his pen from time to time to take a look at the posture of the ancient pine tree in the courtyard after the snow.

The shape of the pine tree is ancient and simple, the snow is pressed on the green pine branches, and it is very fresh and wonderful.

What he wrote was just an ordinary document, but every stroke had the charm of a green pine after a snow.

Therefore, when Yang Biao came to visit and saw the undried paperwork, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Yuan Chang's handwritten book can be called peerless, and the deep and ancient place in the meantime makes me forget what happened at first sight!"

"Ling Jun is here, it won't be just to watch me write," Zhong Xuan smiled and invited him to sit down, "If it's to enjoy the new snow, I will hide an urn of good wine." ”

"Nowadays, Luoyang wine is expensive," Yang Biao said with a smile, "Yuanchang's wine still has to be carefully hidden." ”

Zhong Xuan also smiled, "I heard that Zang Hongfa of Dongjun sent 50,000 stone of grain to King Qin, and he should be worry-free this year." ”

"I don't think so, although Yang Chou is dead, Father Qing is still alive."

The allusion of "Qing's father is not dead, and it is difficult to end", at this moment, when he said it in front of him, Yang Biao's meaning was almost clear.

Zhong Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, his tone was flat, "Ling Jun wants to punish his father?" ”

The old man on the other side shook his head with a smile.

"Guanzhong is in chaos, Ma Teng and Han Sui each have strong soldiers, fighting each other, the common people are like falling into fire and water, I am here to find a person for the imperial court to pacify Guanzhong."

Zhong Miao was suddenly stunned.

But Yang Biao still continued, "If Yuan Chang is interested, I will recommend it to the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Chang can lead the lieutenant of the division and supervise the troops in Guanzhong, how about it?" ”
