Yuzhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains, since ancient times, there are many talents, heroes galloping, especially in Runan and Yingchuan two counties people are the most. From the Guangwu Emperor of this dynasty to the Shun Emperor years, Runan and Yingchuan have emerged a group of scripture masters, Runan has Dai Ping, Zhong Xing, Xu Shen, Zhou Ju, Cai Xuan, Yingchuan has Zhang Xing, Ding Hong, all of them are famous in the sea, some of these masters enjoy the reputation of "the five classics", "the five classics are vertical and horizontal", and some recruit thousands of disciples, for a generation of grandmasters.

Runan and Yingchuan are even more famous, only Runan has the Yuan gate valve of the fourth and third dukes, the Xu gate valve of the third and third dukes, the Ying gate valve of the great Confucianism from generation to generation, and the Li gate valve with the most momentum in the Han Dynasty recently.

Xu's gate valve comes from Runan Pingyu, and its ancestor is Xu Yang, a famous water conservancy expert in history. There is also a person named Xu Jun, who is famous for his divination, and his grandson Xu Man is a generation of Yixue masters in history. There is also a famous figure in their family named Xu Shen, who is the author of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi".

In the middle and late stages of this dynasty, Xu Fu, the descendant of the Xu family, and his descendants for six generations were all high-ranking officials and had not decayed for a hundred years. Xu Fu himself was the official to the rafters of the public mansion. His son Xu Jingguan to Situ. Xu Jing's son is called Xu Xun, the official is the chief of the three dukes. Xu Xun's son is Situ Xu Xiang of this dynasty.

From Xu Jing to Xu Xiang, the third and third princes of the Xu family in Runan Pingyu, and the famous people of the Xu family of the same generation as Xu have Xu Qian, Xu Shao, and Xu Jing, all of whom are contemporary transcendent people, and it can be seen that the Xu family of Runan has become a first-class family of the Han Dynasty.

Sikong Xu Xiang's son is going to marry on the sixteenth day of the first month, so there has been an endless stream of people who have come to send congratulatory gifts recently.

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and Duan Qi, Shaofu Fan Ling, and Dahonglu Cao Song all came to Xu Sikong in person to send congratulatory gifts to Xu Sikong in the afternoon of the same day.

Xu Xiangmei smiled and greeted him all the way. Sent a few of his colleagues into the study.

"That tiger has arrived in Luoyang in the morning." Cao Song said, "Your Majesty even exempted the early dynasty in order to see him, what do you think?" His Majesty values Li Yi so much, does he really want to do it immediately? ”

Zhao Zhong sat beside Cao Song with a fat belly, and said with a smile: "Ju Gao, Your Majesty was grown up by us, what can he do with his guts?" Rest assured, he can't make up his mind. He's soft-hearted. ”

Fan Ling squinted a pair of small eyes and said with a smile: "Now it seems that Your Majesty attaches great importance to Li Yi, and he was worried that Li Yi would be killed when he came to Beijing, so he arranged for him to live temporarily in Zhangyuetai, and personally sent two hundred southern troops to strictly protect him." Xia Yun and Xiahou Ye were also suddenly driven back to Chang'an by His Majesty. Your Majesty did this, did you think that someone in Luoyang must want to kill Li Yi? And how many marquis are going to kill him? ”

"Killing must be killed." Duan Qi sneered, "This Li Yi is too cruel, don't kill him now." In the future, when he is full-fledged, he will kill us. In order to prevent trouble, it is better to kill him. ”

Zhang Rang frowned, and the thin old face was even more ugly. He sighed. said: "The general is going to deal with us, do you know? ”

"I said a long time ago that the position of this great general cannot be set, and you will not listen. The He Jin brothers and sisters had no power and no power at the beginning. Of course, they will try their best to slap us, but that doesn't mean they won't bite us back when their wings grow stiff in the future. Zhao Zhong didn't feel the slightest surprise. He pointed to the people in the room and said indignantly, "And you, you didn't listen to me at that time. Back then, the Beigong incident was so thrilling, we almost died, and now you have forgotten it, right? ”

"Can he kill us now?" Duan Jue pursed his lips disdainfully, and said lazily, "Without our support, the Empress will immediately abolish her." Without us, He Jin, who killed the pig, just wanted to go back to the countryside and couldn't eat pig, what was he angry about? ”

Xu Xiang waved his hand and retorted: "Master Hou despises the general too much. In recent years, the general Taoguang has been obscure, and Corporal Lixian has recruited a lot of talents. In order to prevent changes in the imperial system in the future and bring disaster to the clansmen, he secretly accumulated a lot of strength. I think this man is very far-sighted, very smart, and has good means, and we can't take it lightly. If you look at his general's mansion, on the surface, they are all sages and celebrities, but in fact, there are several sets of people in secret, and I think his ambition is not small. ”

Zhao Zhong smiled indifferently and asked Zhang Rang: "Self-ride, what do you think?" ”

"I see that His Majesty is in a hurry to recall Li Yi, purely because he has nothing to do. He fears that the world will not be chaotic, and he wants to force us to fight to the death with the pig killer. Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and said, "If we are all dead, Your Majesty's plan will succeed, and he will be able to do whatever he wants." ”

Zhao Zhong and Duan Qi's eyes lit up, and they nodded again and again in a sudden realization.

Xu Xiang, Cao Song and Fan Ling were slightly surprised, and then their eyes showed admiration.

Zhang Rang continued: "What is Li Yi? He is a bloody piece of meat in His Majesty's hand, and His Majesty is now holding it in his hand, thinking about where to throw it. If we lose it well, we and the pig killer will die in pieces, and if we lose it badly, we and the pig killer will both lose and let him slaughter at will. ”

When everyone listened, their hearts were cold, and they didn't speak.

Cao Song took a sip of water and said slowly: "Zicheng and the general are in-laws, and the queen relies on you lords very much, we can ......"

"Don't even think about it." Zhang Rang waved his hand vigorously and interrupted Cao Songdi's words, "This matter is obvious, we are the enemy of all arrows, except for Your Majesty, who doesn't want to kill us, everyone wants to kill us." Our friendship with the pig killer is like a tiger seeking skin, and we die faster. ”

"Then ...... now" Duan Qi hesitated and asked, "Are we still going to kill Li Yi?" Do we still want to eat this piece of meat? ”

"Can't be killed." Zhang Rang said resolutely, "Once Your Majesty leaves Luoyang, we will start a life-and-death battle with the pig killers. Your Majesty is not in Luoyang, what else do we have to rely on? We don't even have a seal to stamp even the forgery of the Holy Decree. There is the Northern Army who killed the pig, as well as his own private army, his private army is in Xingyang, so many troops, what can we do except wait for death? ”

"What does the Hou Ye mean is that he wants His Majesty to take away the eldest prince and take the opportunity to blackmail the general?" Xu Xiang asked.

Zhang Rang nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of murder.

"But with His Majesty's thoughts, he will definitely not take the eldest prince away." Xu Xiangshu said, "What's more, the eldest prince is not in Luoyang, and there is no guarantee that the general will not attack us?" Unless the Great General wants to ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiang was suddenly shocked, and his face showed a look of horror.

Zhao Zhong and Cao Song thought of the word "killing the king" at the same time, and the room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

Duan Jue couldn't help but blurt out and exclaimed: "Your Majesty is so scheming, no wonder he issued three holy decrees in a row to urge Li Yi to return to Beijing, it turns out that he has already seen it." Then why didn't he just kill He Jin......"

Then he thought that what he said was really stupid, how to kill him? Can you kill He Jin now? Once He Jin was in a hurry, he first killed the lieutenant official, and then took the opportunity to blame the lieutenant official to kill the Son of Heaven, and then coerced the good name of the traitor and the gate lord clan to jointly support the eldest prince to inherit the imperial line, then everything would fulfill He Jin's wish.

Can't you even see such a simple thing?

Duan Jue felt that this pig-killing man had really fledged, and now not only did the tail not fall off, but also threatened his survival.

"Your Majesty recalls Li Yi, with the strength of Li Yi and the 100,000 Youzhou troops under his command, it is naturally not a problem to protect him and Xiao Donghou." Zhang Rang said, "If the general wants to kill us, he will naturally get the support of the gate lord clan." We were the only ones left, a group of helpless old men. What to do? ”

Zhang Rang said that at the end, he yelled.

"Let Dong Fatzi return to Guanxi immediately and rush to the Hedong garrison with the army, he is the only force we can rely on." Zhao Zhong had regained his composure, he patted his big belly gently, and said slowly, "It's not that there has been an ant thief rebellion in Hedong recently, so let's report to Your Majesty for this reason." ”

"Your Majesty will return to Jizhou, Zhonghuangmen, the Tiger Army, the Yulin Army, and most of the Southern Army will accompany you, and the key is the Northern Army." Fan Ling said, "The Northern Army suffered great losses in the process of suppressing the rebellion in Xiliang, and there are still about 30,000 people, and the general is now recruiting troops to expand the army." If we persuade Your Majesty to let Li Yi take away 20,000 Northern Army to Jizhou to pacify the Black Mountain Ant Thieves, then the general's strength will be weakened a lot, and our chances of victory will be greater. ”

"As long as Your Majesty is safe and sound, and the general dares to attack us in Luoyang, he will raise troops to cause chaos, and the crime will not be forgiven." Duan Jue sneered, "Even if we lose both, we're not afraid." If the pig is injured, it is death, and if we are injured, we can still be rewarded for meritorious service. ”

He looked at Cao Song, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jugao, when will Meng De come back?" Hurry up and urge him to come back, let him be a captain in the Northern Army, what else can I do to kill pigs? ”

"Yes, Jugao, why did you come back? I've already sent someone to rush you a few times. If something happens to Jingzhong, we will have to rely on him to lead the army. Zhang Rang pointed at Cao Song and said, "Can you rush back before the Chinese New Year?" ”

Cao Song said: "Almost. Hide that stinky temper, don't you know, can I control it? Estimated about the same. ”

"Then let's do it." Zhang Rang said to Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, "Gongfu, Deyun, you and Ju Gao jointly wrote a book to intercede with Dong Zhuo, but he was impeached by Zhang Wen, Yuan Peng, Tao Qian, and Sun Jian, and has not been dealt with so far." In my opinion, let him offset his merits, or be a broken general, and return to Kansai immediately. ”

Xu Xiang bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's rare for a few of us to get together once, let's go, drink and talk." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go have a drink first...... a few people laughed and got up one after another.

Zhao Zhong suddenly said: "By the way, Gongfu, I see that you wrote a letter to Mr. Xu Shaoxu, asking him to come to the capital and show us the good fortune, what do you think?" ”

"I'm not moving." Xu Xiang nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Several younger brothers are all high, and they don't want to associate with me, there is no way." ”

Zhao Zhong said with a smile: "You write a letter, be sincere, don't put on a big brother's shelf." The nephew is married to the daughter of Zhu Jun and Zhu Gongwei, a great Confucian and Guanglu doctor, your family is a Han family, and there are many celebrities, and it can't be said that a few famous people don't come, it's too rude. Xu Shao doesn't give you face, but he always has to give Zhu Gongwei face. You write a letter, and I promise him to come. ”

Xu Lianlian nodded and said happily: "It makes sense, it makes sense." (To be continued.) )
