Chapter 209
"Congratulations." Liu Xiu congratulated Cao Cao with a smile. He took the wine sent by Cao Cao on the case and slapped the wine with Kaifeng mud. The wine was filled with fragrance. He took a breath intoxicatedly and praised the good wine. It was for the sake of this jar of good wine, and I agree to you to use my name."
Cao Cao was so happy that he reached out to take an ear cup, wiped it with his sleeve, and scolded the prison guards, who were too lazy and did not come to wash the wine glass."
"Okay, I'm in jail. You think you're at home, so you'll just give it some."
Liu Xiu poured him a glass of wine and another glass. The two of them drank it all in one go, and they ate and talked while chatting for a few words. Cao Cao got to the point.
"It has been almost two months since the examination ended. How to arrange these 300 people has now become the biggest problem in Situ's Mansion." Cao Cao sighed and briefly explained the situation outside. The most troublesome thing about Song Feng is how to arrange these 300 people. If the arrangement is not done well, the charge will definitely fall on Situ. At that time, I am afraid that Song Feng, Situ, will not be able to do it for a long time. "It's not that Situ Situ doesn't want to catch you, it's all He Jin who is stopping you. The queen is almost turning against the emperor in order to plead for you."
Liu Xiu smiled slightly. Cao Cao didn't dare to look at him when he said this. It was obviously a bit humid. It was reasonable for the Song family to take him off, but it was impossible to say that they would turn against him and the emperor for the sake of him. One thing that can be explained is that he has been in Luoyang Prison for more than half a month, and the Song family's father and son have never visited him. However, everyone knows this kind of thing, and it doesn't make sense to expose it.
Liu Xiu took a sip of wine and savored Meng De leisurely. Do you think the emperor hasn't arranged these three hundred people for so long?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment, smiled bitterly and said, "The Emperor's Examination." He originally wanted to choose some poor families to compete with the aristocratic families. As a result, most of the selected people were aristocratic families or related to the aristocratic families. If these people entered the officialdom, the aristocratic families would be stronger."
"By the way, this is the root cause. People were chosen by the emperor, but their hearts were still the hearts of the aristocratic family, so the emperor was unwilling to give up." Liu Xiu gently placed the wine glass on the table and made a clatter. "This makes people feel uncomfortable, but this is the status quo. Everything cannot be accomplished overnight, even if he is the emperor."
Cao Cao sighed a long sigh. He only made this news after he returned to Luoyang. He was a little grateful and unwilling to this result. The power of the aristocratic family was too powerful, so powerful that it seemed to be without any gaps, which made him feel more and more that Yuan Shao's strength was strong.
This idea is said to be made by Yuan Shao. He just made a light move and the emperor's efforts were gone.
"But it doesn't matter. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as the whereabouts of these 300 people are solved, the emperor's efforts will not be wasted." Liu Xiu comforted him and said that it is unrealistic to defeat the aristocratic family in one go. If anyone has this idea, it is a sign of underestimating the enemy. Of course, the aristocratic family does not need to be defeated all of them."
Cao Cao looked up at Liu Xiu in surprise.
"It's not that all aristocratic families are good, nor that all aristocratic families are bad." Liu Xiu knocked on the table, "Now the emperor wants to capture all aristocratic families in one place, which is forcing the aristocratic families to establish an alliance."
Cao Cao nodded, and he thought so too. The emperor has not only attacked the Yuan family, but also the Yang family. He even did not let go of powerful people like Cai Yong. Sooner or later, it will hit his Cao family. This result of this deduction made him shudder and hesitated whether he should stand on the side of the emperor.
"He Jin is the Yin of Henan. On the Yin of Henan, there should be a Sili lieutenant. Yang Qiu has been dead for more than half a month, so it is time to choose a new Sili lieutenant." Liu Xiu paused, "I think Yang Biao is quite suitable."
"Yang Biao?" Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, nodded reluctantly. He was indeed suitable."
"Although the Yang family has a marriage relationship with the Yuan family, the Yang family and the Yuan family are different." Liu Xiu reminded that if the emperor wanted to forcibly suppress the Yang family, it would force the Yang family and the Yuan family to stand together, and sooner or later he would regret it. Appointing Yang Biao as the Sili School Captain will help ease the relationship with the Yang family and also help to split the Yang family and the Yuan family." He smiled and said that I, Yang Biao, can enforce the law impartially and will not deliberately take my life."
Cao Cao laughed and pointed at Liu Xiudao, you are still afraid of death in the final analysis.”
"Who isn't afraid of death?" Liu Xiu asked back, are you afraid?"
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and I was afraid, okay? Nothing is there a lot of words on Novel Network”
"Each of each other." Liu Xiu laughed.
...
As soon as Cao Cao left Luoyang Prison, he rushed to Situ's Mansion and suggested that Song Feng appoint Yang Biao as the Sili Captain. Song Feng was a little worried at first, but after listening to Cao Cao's reposting Liu Xiu's suggestion, he agreed and asked someone to report the appointment to the palace. At the same time, Cao Cao personally wrote a memorial, detailing the importance of it.
The emperor received a memorial and issued an edict to Song Feng and Cao Cao to enter the palace to report. After Cao Cao explained Liu Xiu's suggestion tactfully, the emperor looked at Song Feng and Situ without saying a word. Should he be the one who proclaimed Liu Xiu as the Situ officer and use it more?"
Song Feng was shocked and shouldn't have answered the emperor's question. He could hear that the emperor was very dissatisfied with his actions.
The emperor left and left Song Feng and Cao Cao there. After returning to the palace, the emperor was furious and pointed at the Queen Song who had arrived after hearing the news and said, "Your father, Situ, is doing well and can't come up with an idea, and you have to go to prison to ask Liu Xiu. Is it true that he, Situ, will not do it without Liu Xiu?
Queen Song was so scared that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground with a thud and claimed to be a death sentence. The emperor saw it, and was angry and disappointed. She waved her hand and asked the queen to sit in the hall alone for a while and felt a little frustrated.
Zhang Rang bowed his hand and winged to it. When the emperor heard the footsteps, he looked up at his thin face and finally felt some comfort in his heart. "Mr. Zhang, is it too outrageous for you to let Song Feng be Situ?"
Zhang Rang sighed quietly and said in a respectful and loving voice that Song Feng is indeed not a pillar of the country, he is not a competent Situ, but he is loyal to His Majesty.”
The emperor glanced at him, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This idea was not his idea, but Liu Xiu's idea. Situ at that time actually wanted to listen to the idea of a prisoner, which was too incompetent."
Zhang Rang nodded and Song Feng was indeed incompetent. He was far inferior to Dou Wu."
The emperor was stunned and suddenly straightened his waist and looked at Zhang Rang Zhang Gong with a smile. I remember that your daughter-in-law is still from He Guiren, and he married the Song family at the time?"
Zhang Rang's face was not changed, but his Majesty was only in his heart. He was closer to He Guiren. It was just because of his fellow countrymen and his in-laws. It was private, and whether Situ's responsibilities were appropriate was public. Although he was a lowly person, he did not dare to forget public because of his personalities." As he said, his eyes turned red. He raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes, knelt on the ground, and said sarcastically that he knew that he was splashing down and was not tolerated by the world, but he did not dare to be disloyal to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, although Liu Xiu is now a prisoner, his suggestion is right. The aristocratic family is too strong. Although Your Majesty is wise, it is impossible to knock them down at once. To be too anxious, it is not good for the world. Emperor Guangwu almost forced a civilian change in order to save the field, so he had to think twice. "
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Rang who was lying on the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched. After two months of stalemate, he did not make the same sense, but Song Feng, as Situ, could not share his worries, but had to go to prison to ask Liu Xiu for advice, which made him very annoyed. He had no bad impression of Liu Xiu. He always admired Liu Xiu's talents, but this incident made him very unhappy.
If Liu Xiu could still influence the government affairs in prison, what would happen if he was out of prison and became an official?
So he was so angry that he scolded Song Feng and Cao Cao in person and gave Queen Song a cold face. Now that he heard Zhang Rang's words, he felt that this emotion was indeed a bit over and had lost his identity as a emperor. He sighed silently, leaned against the poker, and asked Mr. Zhang weakly, "Do you think Liu Xiu is like this?"
"This man is loyal and brave, but he is very brave." Zhang Rang said cautiously that he was still too young. He was running thousands of miles for a woman and wanted to kill Cao Jie's whole family. It was too reckless and too reckless."
"For a woman?" The emperor became curious. He only Liu Xiu did not kill someone, but he did not want to kill someone, so it was for a woman.
Zhang Rang looked at His Majesty with some surprise?”
"What am I? Tell me quickly." The emperor said impatiently.
Zhang Rang smiled, coughed lightly, and then said that Liu Xiu fell in love with Wang Chu, the granddaughter of the former Hu Ben General Wang Bao. It was just because Wang Chu was going to participate in the talent show, so the Wang family had not agreed to him. Later, Wang Chu was defeated, and Liu Xiu came to ask for marriage, and the Wang family had already agreed. Later, something happened at Liu Xiu's family and he rushed back to Zhuo County. If he didn't know, Cao Poshi fell in love with Wang Chu and insisted on marrying her. Of course, this was not a strange thing for Cao Poshi. He forced many good women to rob..."
Zhang Rang told the story in a storytelling tone. The emperor listened with relish, and finally patted his thigh and laughed out loud. For a woman who lost the election, he wanted to kill Cao Jie's family? This reckless man is really ridiculous."
Zhang Rang smiled, "Although Wang Chu was not selected, his talent was not bad. If he had not had the bad makeup at the time and had chosen the song again, he might not have been able to enter the palace."
"Don't you jump to the word? Under Zhang Rang's reminder, the emperor finally remembered Wang Chu, and his back and a small sound of piano flashed through his heart. Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Zhang Rang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. With this precaution, even if the responsibility of these people was eliminated, even if the emperor saw Wang Chu himself in the future, he would not have any extreme reactions.
Although Zhang Rang was not Cao Jie to provoke Liu Xiu, he vaguely guessed something after hearing about Wang Chu. He didn't like Liu Xiu, but he didn't like Cao Jie either. Liu Xiu scared Cao Jie to death, which was considered to have eliminated a strong opponent for him. In addition, he was also the person in charge of this matter. If he was investigated, he would not be able to escape, so he took the initiative to excuse Liu Xiu. Of course, his main purpose was not to save Liu Xiu, nor did he want to save Liu Xiu. He just wanted to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible.
The emperor didn't think about it, but he just thought that Liu Xiu looked smart and impulsive in doing things. He just robbed a woman and discussed things. Last time, Cao Poshi wanted to rob Wu's wife, but he asked the Grand Marshal Zhang Huan to solve the problem. Why did he have to kill someone this time? Well, by the way, it was someone else's wife last time, but this time it was his. When it was involved, he was inevitably a little impulsive to get angry.
"You go to the Shangshuo Desk and make sure Song Feng's appointment to Yang Biao." The emperor called Jian Shuo and ordered Song Feng to go back to his house to rest. He hurriedly think about the newly selected scholars' arrangements."
Jian Shuo responded and trotted all the way. The emperor asked Zhang Rang to get up and asked him casually what Shi Hou was like?"
"Not very good." Zhang Rang replied that He Guiren was not in a good mood recently and often scolded him. The eldest prince had no playmates and was a little bored, and he became even more bored when he was scolded. He often sat for a long time without saying a word."
The emperor's slender eyebrows trembled and sighed. Is this the case? Even if you have a temper, you can't send it to your children. How can you do this for a parent? When I was young, I was often disobedient. My mother never got angry with me and always coaxed me patiently."
Zhang Rang's sparse eyebrows trembled and he didn't say anything.
The emperor stood up, walked around for a while, and said, "Go and tell him that after I have finished handling government affairs, I will go to her for dinner and talk to her about parenting."
Zhang Rang was overjoyed, but he didn't show any trace of his face and turned around and left. He rushed to the palace of He Guiren and said that the emperor was coming for food. He Guiren suddenly smiled and felt gloomy. He hurriedly arranged wine and food, and asked someone to dress up the eldest prince well, repeatedly reminding and instructing him to perform better in front of your father.
After all, this is the only descendant of the emperor. Concubine He thought happily.
...
Yang Biao slowly walked into Liu Xiu's luxurious cell, looked around, and said with a smile that Liu Jun was so comfortable, even if he was in jail, he was different."
Liu Xiu glanced at the seal on his waist and replied in a humble and unrestrained manner that I was wronged. Since Mr. Yang has been appointed as the Sili School Captain, should I be cleared of my innocence? Although this place is good, it is not a place for a long time."
"Unforgive?" Yang Biao signaled Pi Erding, who followed closely behind him and kept winking Liu Xiu. Pi Erding quickly took a mat. Yang Biao sat down, rolled up his sleeves, pinched a pine nut from the plate and threw it into his mouth, waved his hand, signaling Pi Erding and others to withdraw. Seeing his attitude, Pi Erding breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Liu Xiu with admiration, bowed and bowed, retreated together, and brought it to the door.
"I heard that you asked for this Sili Captain for me, but I want to tell you that I am not grateful to you at all. Today is your last day to enjoy this cell, so I will let you be a real prisoner." Yang Biao said lightly, "Are you a little disappointed?"
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and was not disappointed."
Yang Biao was a little strange, he glanced at Liu Xiu sideways, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"I just said that although this place is good, it is not a place to live for a long time." Liu Xiu folded his legs and sat comfortably on the edge of the bed. He easily pinched a pine nut with his two fingers. With his right hand, Song Ren jumped up and drew a beautiful arc, which fell into his mouth. "Since you want to enforce the law impartially, then I dare to ask, sir, Cao Jie's death has nothing to do with me. You must have read this official document, right? There are many words on Wu Novel Network."
"I've seen it." Yang Biao smiled, "But you appeared in Cao's mansion to kill people, and no one can prove that you are innocent. You are a martial arts practitioner. If you want to kill an old and weak Cao Jie, you may not have to use a knife. Your testimony is not enough to prove your innocence."
Liu Xiu's eyes tightened and said this, are you going to overthrow Lord Zhou's conclusion, and you have to beat me up?"
"I haven't used punishment, can you tell me that you are innocent?" Yang Biao clapped his hands and said for granted that there is anyone in the world who is willing to admit that he is guilty.
Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, "So, Lord Yang thinks I am guilty?"
"right."
"Where is the evidence?"
Yang Biao was stunned, "I said just now that you can't prove your innocence."
"You are wrong." Liu Xiu tilted his mouth and sneered, saying that I am guilty. You have to show evidence, otherwise you are accusing me and I want to sue you for personal revenge."
Yang Biao also sneered and asked back?"
"Because your younger brother is Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu has a grudge with me. I suspect that you believe that I am not guilty, but in order to avenge Yuan Shu, you insist on beating me, and may even kill me." Liu Xiu said slowly, Lord Yang, I can guarantee you responsibly that if you can't kill me today, I will definitely take revenge. Since you insist that I kill someone, I don't mind killing a few people, such as... you are still in your infancy."
Yang Biao changed color in shock, "You are so brave, dare to threaten me in person?"
"So what?" Liu Xiu stood up and patted the shells on the hem of his clothes. I thought that the Hongnong Yang family passed down the morals of the family, which was different from the loyal and treacherous Yuan family. Now it seems that I have done it. Since you can marry the Yuan family, it is not much different from the Yuan family. If that is the case, why should I look down on you? Lord Yang, do you believe it or not? Don't think that you are strict in your garrison, but it is easy for me to go out? Don't think that your Yang family lives in Luoyang City, but if I want to kill your qun family, no one will take the lead?"
"You...you are arrogant." Yang Biao was furious and stood up suddenly, shouting loudly that you were jealous of the king's laws and threatened the imperial officials."
"Court Official?" Liu Xiu smiled disdainfully, you are an official of the court, so you can use the rights in your hands to defame people in your innocence. But I don't understand, is there a difference between using the rights in your hands to avenge private revenge and using my fists to avenge revenge? Do you think that if you don't have a knife in your hands and don't get blood in your hands, you're innocent? Why should I worry about the king's law when dealing with a hypocrite like you? Only swords and swords."
He glanced at the prison guards who rushed in when they heard Yang Biao shouting, narrowed his eyes, and his tone swept away his usual laughter and thrilling, full of chilling smell. You shouldn't be able to stop me. Wang Yue, the number one swordsman in the capital, is there. You can ask him, if he goes against me, who will fall down first. Lord Yang, if you really have the courage, don't let these people die innocently. You can practice alone with me." He stretched out his hand, swept the cups and plates on the table to the ground, standing proudly:
"I, Liu Xiu, Zhuo County, challenge you"
It is by】.!!!
