Volume 3 Chapter 11 Knowing the Impossible

“…… And if I stay in Xudu, I may be able to dissuade Cao Gong from doing this disloyal and unrighteous thing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I can't go to Yizhou with you! ”

Facing Xun Yu's stubbornness, Lu Ren shook his head silently: "Xun Gong, why do you have to deceive yourself? You have been following Cao Gong for almost 20 years now, how is Cao Gong's personality, and how much has changed after the authority has become heavier, do you not know in your heart? Cao Gong's intention to be a prince this time is imperative. The reason why it has been delayed so far, what is the purpose of it, Xun Gong, you should be far clearer than me in your heart. ”

Xun Yu sighed: "As a courtier of the Han Dynasty, I don't want to see this even if I die. ”

Lu Ren said: "What's the use of dying? Except for being able to fight back the false name of a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, it is useless at all. And with you Xun Gong taking the lead, other people who are the same as Xun Gong will also stand up and desperately dissuade Cao Gong, so isn't this giving Cao Gong a more detailed list of dissidents? By the time Cao Gong had everything ready and removed them one by one, there would really be no one in the inner court who could worry him and stop him. Xun Gong, you have always been far-sighted, why would you make such a big mistake in this matter? ”

Xun Yu sighed: "But what if I don't stand up and stop it?" If I don't stop it, the prestige of the Han family will be lost, and the people's hearts will gradually be lost. And with this example, those who will be called princes and kings will surely spring up one after another. If this is the case, the Han family will really have no way to return to heaven! ”

Lu Ren said: "Xun Gong, that's why I invite you to go back to Yizhou with me." The matter of Cao Gong's claim to the public is still inconclusive, because he wants to fish out the loyal ministers of the Han family who are still a little afraid in his heart. And as soon as Xun Gong, the leader, leaves, these people seem to be leaderless, but in fact, they can hide again, and if they are not known to Cao Gong, they will still become a worry in Cao Gong's heart, so he does not dare to move lightly. ”

Xun Yu said: "Yihao, you are very simple, but as soon as I leave, there will be no one who can persuade Cao Gong, and it will be an ironclad thing for him to call Gong." Besides, even if I don't stop it, there will be other people who will come out and take the lead in blocking it, and the result will not be the same? ”

Lu Ren said: "Xun Gong, what strength do you have here to stop you now?" He has all the power and military power in his hands, if he really comes to get rid of you with a ruthless shot, you will not even have the strength to resist at all. But that won't be the case when you get to my Yizhou. With my Yizhou land in the back for you, you will spread the word to the world, so as to dissuade Cao Gong's claim to the public, so that you will still be the leader of the loyal Hanchen in the court. The people in the court are headed by you, and seeing that you are dissuading in the outside world, they will naturally hide and wait for the opportunity, and Cao Gong has to worry about these things. ”

Speaking of this, Xun Yu's mind had begun to waver a little, and he was silent in thought.

Lu Ren said again: "Xun Gong, you might as well think about it again, now just one me can already make Cao Gong regard him as a big confidant." If you are added again, the two pillars of the former Xu Du Shangshu Mansion stand side by side, and they are looking at each other outside, does Cao Gong still dare to mess around? ”

————————————————————

When Lu Ren and Minchan quietly left Xunyu's mansion, the sky that had already darkened had begun to scatter a little snowflakes at some point. Minchan may have lived in a southern place like Yizhou for a long time, and now she is a little unaccustomed to the cold of the Central Plains winter, and people have been shrinking into their clothes.

But even so, Minchan couldn't help but use her hands to catch a few snowflakes scattered in the air, and after the snowflakes melted in her hands, Diao Chan turned her head to Lu Ren and said, "I haven't seen snow for a long, long time." ”

Lu Ren was looking around at the surrounding environment at this time, and when he saw something, he pulled Diaochan's sleeve and said, "Don't make trouble, we have to go back to the nest quickly." ”

Minchan was stunned: "What? It was just dark. ”

Lu Ren whispered in Minchan's ear: "Curfew." ”

Minchan also looked around and said dumbly: "It's me who made a mistake, and this is not our territory, but I still want to go to the night market." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ren also felt a little funny. In fact, in that era, the night market was generally not visible, and the night market in Yizhou was still because Lu Ren opened the golden finger. Of course, it's not that there really isn't, there are still places to play at night in many places, but what is Xuchang? To put it bluntly, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven and the capital is important, and it is very common to impose a curfew. Lu Ren had been in Xuchang for several years, and he couldn't be clearer about these things.

However, the curfew point has not yet arrived, and the market is just beginning to sweep up the stalls, so Lu Ren and Minchan can still wander the streets for a while. And when Lu Ren passed through some streets, he would also have some very strange feelings in his heart.

"What are you thinking, sir?" This is in Xuchang, Lu Ren and Minchan are both disguised again, and Minchan naturally can't call Lu Ren like usual.

Lu Ren looked at a few more places, shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's been ten years, and the changes here are not big, and they are not small. Many of the scenes that still remain in my memory have long since changed. ”

Minchan also looked at it, shook her head and said, "I don't feel anything." Although I also stayed in Xudu for a while, I didn't stay for long, and I basically stayed in the mansion to serve you, and I didn't come out much. But if you really want to talk about it, you have changed a lot compared to you back then. I remember at that time, whenever you had a little free time, you would be dishonest to me. ”

Lu Renxin said when did that happen? And at that time, he was basically a heartless master, and at that time, as long as he stayed up for a while, he could take Wan'er back to wear it, and he naturally had a mind to play with a well-known beauty like Minchan, so he could simply be described by the word "ridiculous" at that time.

Because they remembered the same thing, Lu Ren and Minchan smiled at each other, and Minchan raised her hand again and pointed in a certain direction: "When I revisit my hometown after ten years, I am also deeply touched in my heart...... Would you like to visit the place where we used to live? ”

Lu Ren hurriedly shook his head. His former mansion was the residential area of the officials and nobles in Xuchang City, and the garrison on that land was not a joke, if it weren't for this, Lu Ren would not have left with Minchan in a hurry after coming out of Xun Yu. Now running over at this point close to the curfew, isn't this sent to the door to be arrested?

Don't talk nonsense, anyway, Lu Ren took Minchan around and came to his den here in Xuchang...... Well, the so-called den is actually just an ordinary inn. Lu Ren came here secretly this time and didn't alarm anyone, so he also found the most ordinary and inconspicuous ordinary inn. Of course, Lu Ren has made all kinds of preparations for this incident, even if something really happens, Lu Ren is sure that he can take Minchan and retreat, otherwise he will really be sent to death if he comes to Xuchang to meet Xun Yu.

Back in the room and sat down, Lu Ren stood at the window and looked out, while Diao Chan drank hot tea. After a while, Minchan asked out loud, "Yihao, when are we going back?" ”

Lu Ren responded: "Not so fast. ”

Minchan said: "Do you still want to persuade Xun Gong?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "No, this time is enough." ”

Diao Chan took another sip of hot tea to warm up her body, but her eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "To be honest, I still don't understand why you have to go to Xudu to see Xun Gong alone this time, and looking at you now, it seems that I have long known that Xun Gong will not listen to your persuasion." In that case, why would you take such a big risk to do such a useless thing? ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Who said it was useless?" You said that we were taking risks alone, I know this better than anyone else, but because everyone thinks that I can't be alone in danger, no one would have thought that I, the lord of Yizhou, would really come to such a scene, didn't you see the frightened look when Xun Gong recognized me? Besides, I've been gone for ten years after all, and most of the old acquaintances at the beginning have followed Lao Cao to Yecheng at this time, so there are still a few people here in Xudu who remember me and recognize me! ”

Lu Ren paused as he spoke, and then continued: "As for Xun Gong...... Xun Gong's temper seems to be mild, but in fact, he is a person who does not look back until he reaches the south wall, and does not cry when he does not see the coffin, so I know very well that it is impossible to persuade him this time. But Ah Xiu, the purpose of my personal visit to Xun Gong this time is to let Xun Gong know that he actually has a way out. If I don't, then at some point, I'm afraid he will have no other way but to die. ”

Diao Chan frowned again: "Listen to the meaning of your words, Lao Cao's upcoming title is unstoppable?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head again: "How can this be stopped?" Even if Lao Cao didn't have this thought, he couldn't stand the mind of the group under his command. Ah Xiu, many times, his old Cao is actually involuntarily. ”

Minchan was stunned and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Lu Ren said: "To put it simply, it's just a trend of inflammation." Everyone wants to get in, everyone wants to get a higher official position and more benefits, so if the status of their own lord is high enough, won't the official position they can get or can get in the future be higher? And having an official position often means having the corresponding power, and if you have power, what can't you get? So many times, Lao Cao does not only represent himself, but also represents the interests of many of his staff. ”

Minchan said: "Since you know that you can't stop it, then why do you want to stop it?" ”

Lu Ren said: "You are mistaken, the person who wants to stop Lao Cao is not me, but Xun Gong." But for me, I mainly want to use this incident to let the people of Yizhou understand that although we moved to Yizhou, we did not become a so-called barbarian foreigner, but after all, we are still the people of the Han Dynasty. Our scattered branches and leaves still have a root of their own. (To be continued.) )
