Volume Four, Chapter 325: Cold Eyes

As soon as Liu Xiaoxiu entered the *yuan Pass, he received an edict from the emperor, asking him to rush back to Luo Ouyang immediately. Liu Xiu did not dare to be negligent, so he asked the eldest princess and the others to walk slowly behind him, leaving Guan Yu to protect them, and he took Xun Or and Zhang Fei back to the capital. After entering Luoyang City, Liu Xiu rushed into the palace to see the carriage. Xun Or was not idle, so he went straight to meet Xun Shuang and Xun You.

Xun Shuang was not here, and Xun You was reading a book in the room. When he saw Xun or Fengchen coming in, he was surprised and happy, so he quickly got up to greet him.

"I came back with General Wei." Xun Or said while taking Xun You and handing over the cloth towel.

Xun You smiled, "What do you think?"

"It's similar to what you said, both scheming and honest enough." Xun Or washed his face and took the tea handed over by Xun You. "More importantly, he has self-knowledge and wisdom to know people." Xun You laughed, "It's really not easy to get you so recognized by Uncle," "But I don't know much about some things, so I rushed to Luoyang to ask you." Xun Or approached Xun You and lowered his voice. "He is friendly and loves Yingzi who has nothing to do with him, but why does he never mention it to his missing parents? Even when I mentioned it on purpose, he didn't miss him?" Xun You frowned, "Do you suspect he is a pseudo-spoken?"

Xun Or shook his head, "This is not like, I think about it, there is probably only one explanation, that is, his parents are not missing at all, so he is not worried at all."

Xun You was shocked, "No missing, why do you say you are missing?"

Xun Or smiled slightly: "I think he should have something to hide. Maybe... their family background is not innocent enough, and you know that there are many such people." Xun You frowned and pondered for a moment: "I have always found this strange, but it is hard to ask.

If it is just this reason, then I don’t think it’s a big deal. Judging from this period, especially in the last battle of Sunset Yuan, I think he would not be the kind of traitor and fake person who harbors evil intentions. If this is true, he can listen to Jia Xu’s advice, keep Tan Shihuai, and raise the enemy to respect himself." Xun may agree with Xun You, otherwise he would not continue dating Liu Xiu, and even come to Luoyang. With Liu Xiu’s scheming, if he wants to get things done, killing Tan Shihuai would definitely be a very risky and worthless decision for him.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation in Luoyang. Runan has left the car. What's the reaction from the Yuan family?"

Xun You shook his head: "You probably never thought that the Yuan family had no reaction at all."

"No reaction is the biggest reaction." Xun Ren sighed secretly: "This shows that everything Zhang Jiao did is in their plan.,...

"Yes, this time... I'm afraid I won't be good.,

"It's not a good thing or not, there's actually no difference. There are always countless people who die. Liu Xiu said, "Rise, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer, and this is not wrong at all. They just want to change the dynasty. 1

But now I suddenly feel that changing one may not be better than now. So many people have died, just working hard for each family."

Xun You was shocked, quickly stood up, walked to the door, opened it around, closed the door with his backhand, and then returned to Xun Or: "Uncle, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know." Xun Ren smiled slightly. "I know, I scared you. But think about it, is that the case?" Xun You looked at Xun Ren's face carefully for a long time, and wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Xun Ren's forehead, but he stretched out halfway and took it back.

"Don't be surprised, I know my idea is a bit abrupt. But I tell you, Gongda, this is indeed what I have thought of in the past two days. It seems that I was walking blindfolded, and I could only touch with my hands and explore with my feet. All I could understand was the thing around me. Suddenly, someone took away the cloth covered in my eyes, and I saw a lot of things that I could not think of at all." Xun You wanted to laugh, but didn't laugh. "Uncle Wen Ruo, you won't tell me that it was General Liu who gave you an inspiration. He doesn't have that high knowledge."

"It's him." Xun Or smiled, "It's not that he doesn't have that high knowledge, but you don't, so you can't see through him." Xun You shook his head disapprovingly: "I admit that my knowledge is not as high as yours, but if he wants to say that his knowledge is also higher than mine, I'm really not convinced." Xun Or couldn't help laughing, and he glanced at Xun You: "You, me, and Zhong Yu, the three people in the Xun family think that they are good. Do you think their knowledge will be very low?" "Uncle Zhong Yu?" Xun You was really surprised this time: "Uncle Zhong Yu also thinks he is good?"

"Well, he is going to build an academy in Yingchuan and ask Zhongyu to serve as a sacrificial wine." Xun Or picked up a teacup and took a sip, briefly explaining the matter they had argued for Dunchuan Academy. Xun You knew the curriculum setting of Jinyang Academy, so he didn't find it too surprising, but he also found Liu Xiu's views on producers and consumers very novel.

"I thought about it all over the place, if I still hold the old ideas, no matter what virtue replaces Huode, the result will not be much different." Xun Or said with emotion: "So, I changed my mind." "You want to help General Liu?"

"I want to help the big man." Xun Or put away his smile, and the young face showed a deep feeling that was not consistent with his age. "If Liu Xiu thought so, then he could also be said to be helping him." Liu Xiu did not care about the rules of the palace's appearance and ran all the way to Xuanming's side hall. When he saw the situation in the hall, he was stunned.

The emperor was wearing casual clothes and rolled up his sleeves. Empress Song, Concubine Yuan, Concubine He and the eldest prince were all sitting in the hall playing with mud. The emperor was guiding, and Empress Song and Concubine Yuan learned very seriously.

One of them pinched a teapot and the other pinched a slender clean bottle. He Guiren was very clumsy, with only half of the things in his hand that seemed like a piggy bank. The eldest prince had a great time having fun. Although the mud in his hand was still mud, the smile on his face was enough to make anyone envious.

Listening to Liu Xiu's footsteps, the emperor and the eldest prince raised their heads at the same time.

"What's the matter so urgent?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"Why didn't Sister Yingzi come?, the eldest prince shouted in disappointment.

Liu Xiu was speechless and had to bow and say, "After receiving the imperial edict from Your Majesty, I will hurry back. The eldest princess and Miss Yingzi are both behind. I guess they will be able to go to Luoyang to play with the eldest prince tomorrow." The eldest prince said Oh, pouted, and went to play with his mud again. He Guiren lowered his face, drank him, threw off the mud in his hand, and turned around and left. The eldest prince looked reluctantly and followed with his head down. The emperor looked at all this indifferently and waved: "Come on, see which one the queen and Guiren Yuan do, and see which one they like, I will reward you with which one they like."

Empress Song and Concubine Yuan met with each other and brought the work in their hands and said with a smile: "Please comment by sir." That's right, Empress Song and Concubine Yuan have learned painting from Liu Xiu one after another, but the call of Mr. Wang was quite a shame.

Liu Xiu looked carefully and finally commented: "The empress's grandeur is Zigong and the instrument of the temple. The elegant spirit of the nobleman Yuan is Zeng Shi, and he is a scattered person in the world."

Empress Song and Concubine Yuan looked at each other, and were both surprised. The emperor blinked, but understood Liu Xiu's words. He smiled and said, "Which one do you like?"

"I like Yuan Guiren's excellent works."

"Hehe, noble man, you are a latecomer and you can get a few praises from him, but it's not easy. I have made a few tricks of things but have not earned a good word from him."

Yuan Guiren smiled slightly and bowed to his head and bowed: "I am so honored. Please ask Your Majesty to write a memorial and give it to General Wei. After receiving this from General Wei, I can also make bottles and make some pocket money in the future."

"Hahaha" The emperor was in a good mood and laughed loudly, pulling Liu Xiu to his seat, "Look, I am so poor that I want noble people to be hawkers."

"Otherwise." Liu Xiu smiled intriguedly: "Yuan Guiren's craftsmanship is not comparable to that of a craftsman. This is a work of art. He is a unique minister who is willing to guarantee that even if Yuan Guiren makes another one, he may not be able to do the same thing."

Yuan Guiren quickly agreed that the emperor was in a better mood and was chatting and laughing, but he was not as good as the topic. The repetition was nothing more than calligraphy, painting, seal and carving and ceramics. Liu Xiu was puzzled. For these things, would he ask him to go to Yuanyuan Pass to pass the imperial edict immediately? Although he was questioning in his heart, he was not good at asking him to ask him to ask him to take the initiative to avoid being thought of assuming that the emperor was not good enough, so he had to patiently accompany the emperor to talk.

When Empress Song and Guiren Yuan met, they talked a few gossips with her and stood up to say goodbye one after another. The eunuchs who were waiting beside her also retreated with cognitiveness. The emperor's face slowly dimmed.

"Runan has been in charge." "I heard that Yingchuan Prefect Dong Zhuo has received an order from the Yuzhou Governor and is rushing to support him with Yingchuan County soldiers. He has outstanding military achievements and rich combat experience."

"No, I don't want Dong Zhuo to attack the enemy through the border." The emperor interrupted Liu Xiu's words. "The matter of Runan should be the prefect of Runan. If he can't solve it, it's an incompetent official. What else do he have to do?" Liu Xiu closed his mouth consciously. The emperor spoke upright, but in fact he knew very well, and he wanted to let Zhang Jiao let go of his actions.

"Have you seen the situation of Dunchuan?" The emperor turned around and glanced at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu hurriedly bowed and replied, "I have already walked to Yingchuan by following the edict of Your Majesty. Yingchuan has the dangers of Songgao Mountain and Guanyuan Pass. There is no problem in protecting Luoyang, but..."

"Just what?"

"But Ruying's area is the most densely populated area of ​​the Han Dynasty and is also a place of fertility. Once it becomes a battlefield, I am afraid that my vitality will be greatly damaged."

"I know these, but if those people cannot use them for me, what's the use of more? If those lands are not owned by me, what's the use of them?" The emperor's voice was cold and cruel. "I did this to regain these people and regain these fertility. Tan Shihuai was dead, but the Xianbei had not completely quelled. Your promise to drink Ma Beihai was not fulfilled. The Western Qiang was ready to move again. If I did not solve the problem of elbows and armpits, how could I be devoted to the outside world? If Emperor Xiaojing had not suppressed the rebellion of the seven kingdoms back then, how could Emperor Xiaowu quell the Huns?" Liu Xiu suddenly said in his mind: To fight against foreign countries, one must first settle the internal situation. However, this sentence later became the evidence of the person's crime, but then again, which person in power did not say so. Although the foreign enemy is dangerous, internal troubles are even more hurtful. The martial arts masters compete for martial arts. External injuries are all skin injuries, and internal injuries are really troublesome.

This is probably the reason why rulers of all dynasties would rather be humble to the external enemies than to pretend to be internal conflicts. As long as it is possible, they will do their best to kill them.

"If you can control Runan, then Yuzhou can be settled, and Yuzhou can be settled, then Jingzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou can all be returned to my control, and the Grand Marshal will not cry with me again." The emperor murmured, "How dear, I have to do this." Liu Xiu also sighed: "Although Your Majesty does not approve of Your Majesty, the matter is over, and Your Majesty is not useless, so it is better to wait for the result. The eight gates of Luoyang are all under my control. I am willing to rush to *chuan to supervise the battle immediately. I dare to guarantee that no riots will enter the capital." The emperor shook his head and smiled. "I know your loyalty, but you don't have to be so nervous. Even if Zhang Jiao is incompetent, it will not make the situation uncontrollable. Just guard the eight gates and ensure that the capital is safe. Besides, even if Dong Zhuo cannot control Yingchuan,

Isn't there Huangfu Song? He came from the generals and was in the northern border for many years, so he wouldn't be able to deal with these bandits." "Your Majesty is wise, Huangfu Song is indeed a famous general." "How about Yuan Shao?" Yazi asked suddenly. Liu Xiu thought for a while and said cautiously: "Yuan Shao came from a famous family and there were many talented people around him. Although he was not first-class in military use, he should not be underestimated. From the two battles between Mobei and Luo Sun Yuan, he could see that his ability to capture fighter jets was also very small. More importantly, he was different from those children of aristocratic families who were highly keen and low-key. He dared to fight to the death." "Yes, he dared to fight to the death." The emperor sighed long, "Everyone in the Yuan family dared to fight to the death, so I couldn't deal with it accidentally. If Yuan Yuan hadn't bullied people too much, why would I have attacked now?"

Liu Xiu didn't say anything. He heard the emperor's intentions. For this battle with Yuan Yuan, he probably had a lot of appetite. He was not satisfied with the result of the Yuan family's current two generals and one nobleman, and countless disciples and old officials. The situation in Runan was developing so quickly, perhaps because they were fanning the flames behind their backs.

The emperor is now in a little bit of confidence, hoping to lead the snake out of the hole so that all the guys can be beaten. In the end, it depends on who wins and loses the battle between Zhang Jiao and Runan's powerful men. Zhang Jiao won and the Yuan family lost the foundation. Even if they don't die, they will inevitably be seriously injured. If Zhang Jiao loses, the Yuan family will not only force Zhang Jiao to death, but also ask for more benefits.

After all, Zhang Jiao is just a chess piece that charges, and even him, he is a chess piece. The real chess is the Emperor and Yuan Yuan. Although he is a general of guard, he is not qualified to be a chess player at present and can only accumulate strength in secret.

In general, the beginning was pretty good. Liu Xiu rubbed his nose and seemed to smell the fragrance of Xun Or his body again. Although Xun Or he listened to his advice and stopped taking it, the fragrance was still very strong. Guan Yu said it well, even women were not as fragrant. If this child came to his future generations,

Even if he doesn't have the wisdom of a wizard, his face is enough to kill those idol-school actors in seconds.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Song Qi has arrived in Jinyang, and the rewards from the soldiers of Bingzhou and Liangzhou will soon be in place." The emperor said with a smile: "I will never break my promise. Whether you borrowed it from the people of Bingzhou or you paid it yourself, I will return it to you, not a single one." Liu Xiu also smiled and asked carefully: "Is there any interest for the money I paid first?" The emperor's face stagnated, and it was quite unnatural: "You ask me for interest? I haven't cured your crime yet, so you dare to ask me for interest?" "What's the crime?" Liu Xiu looked aggrieved.

"Hehehe" the emperor deliberately sneered twice, "You seem to have forgotten that Bingzhou or Liangzhou are all my soldiers. If you borrow money from Bingzhou, it can be said that it is the function of the Bingzhou governor, but you pay for it yourself. I want to ask you, do you think those soldiers are your troops?"

Liu Xiu was startled and exaggeratedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you are wronged. This is a crime to be accused of. Why not worry about it?"

The emperor smiled smirked.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Song sat quietly in the hall. An ancient bronze incense burned the green smoke, and a volume of "I'm Five Thousand Words" was placed at her hand. Liu Xiu sat respectfully opposite her, with a little more solemn expression.

Today, Queen Song is not only thin, but also has a solemnity from the inside out. Compared with other beautiful women in the palace, she has a little more unworldly smell, and is completely different from the pitiful woman who frowned at any time before.

"My pot is not good?" Queen Song raised her eyebrows and asked faintly.

"Okay, the temple instrument, the nose is not good."

"Oh, if I heard this before, I would be happy in my heart, but now I have no thoughts. The height of the temple is not as good as the world of the world."

"Your Highness, the big one is hidden in the court, and the little one is hidden in the rivers and lakes." Liu Xiu reminded, "Your Highness is the queen and his mother is in the world. If it is too distant and incompatible with the atmosphere in the palace, it is not a good thing. I am also thinking about the queen."

Queen Song raised her lips gently, "So that's it, then I'm wrongly blaming you. Xie'er is in your mansion, didn't hesitate to you?"

"The emperor's legitimate son is very likable. No one in my house dislikes him. But... Your Highness, it seems inappropriate to make the emperor's legitimate son call him his father and his uncle. If someone cares about it in the future, how can I afford it?" "You don't have to worry. This is also out of his safety considerations, and it was agreed by Your Majesty himself.

In order to be afraid that something will happen in the future, I asked His Majesty to write an edict. If anyone dares to talk too much, just give it to him." Empress Song waved her hand gently, "I miss him a little. If you have time, bring him and Ahe into the palace and let me see it." "Vei."

"Oh, if you weren't too young and you had to make achievements, you should have been the young master, so it would be convenient to enter the palace." Empress Song smiled slightly, and asked someone to take some treasures and pushed them to Liu Xiu: "These are all fresh goods from Jiaozhou. I reward you and treat them as your reward for taking care of the elders." "Being able to take care of the legitimate son of the banquet is an honor for the ministers and the ministers of the family. How dare you ask for the reward of your highness?" "Hehe, no matter what, just treat it as my wish. Don't refuse, just accept it. I know that you have a lot of money now and are tight at the hands of others. I will help you with other things.

If you don't go, you can only thank you with these common things." Queen Song thought for a while and said, "If you insist on not daring to receive the reward without merit, then help General Cheqi train and train the people under his command. Although Your Majesty is kind, if you are all incompetent people, you will lose your face after all." Liu Xiu knew that Song Feng had a thousand people, but they were just pretending to be in the store. Queen Song asked him to train those people, which was just an excuse. He stopped refusing, accepted the reward, and said goodbye to the palace. Queen Song personally sent him to the gate of the palace. Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel a little scared and flattered.

As soon as he left the Jiaofang Hall, he walked a few steps along the long palace wall. A yellow door pinched the orchid finger and stopped him with a smile: "General Wei, please stay."

Liu Xiu glanced at him and it turned out to be Liu Yunshuang, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. "Little Liuzi, are you?"

Liu Yunshuang curled her mouth: "It turns out that General Wei knew someone. They thought you were promoted and promoted, so they forgot their old friends." As he said, he came over and smelled a strange fragrance from a distance. Liu Xiu's heart moved, and he resisted the urge to kick him three feet away, and smiled: "Little Liuzi, have you been promoted?"

"What official should I be promoted? Even though I have been a Huangmen Order, Isn't it still a 600-stone minor official?" Liu Yunshuang smiled with a smug smile, making Liu Xiu's goosebumps. However, he still didn't show any disgust, squeezed his eyes and twisted his fingers: "That's different. I used to do it, but now I'm in charge of a bunch of people, so I have a lot of extra money."

Liu Yunshuang chuckled, covered her mouth with orchid fingers, glanced around her peach blossom eyes, and leaned into Liu Xiu's ear and said softly: "General Wei, be careful, I heard that Zhang Jiao hated you. There are his ears and ears in this palace. I can't tell you when someone will sue you in front of His Majesty."

Liu Xiu's brow trembled, he quickly thanked him, and stuffed a piece of Kunlun jade into Liu Yunshuang's hand.

Liu Yunshuang quickly refused, saying "How to make this happen?" but she held the jade and touched Liu Xiu twice, which made Liu Xiu shudder. Liu Xiu quickly pushed the jade into his hand, pulled out his hand quietly, and smiled, "You are my best friend in the palace. You know, although I am not capable, I never treat my friends badly."

"That's right, why would we Lord Bi always praise you for being loyal?" Liu Yunshuang looked at Yu with love and said goodbye to Liu Xiuyi. Before leaving, she did not forget to give a charming look: "If you have time in the future, you have to come and see others often."!!!
