As if to reflect Lu Ren's assumption, Emperor Liu Xie raised his head and sighed lightly: "I don't know if you can understand what I mean by saying this...... I grew up in the palace, and since the time of the governor, there seems to be nothing around me except for the struggle of power, deceit, and utilitarianism. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And the people around me, whether he is a loyal minister, a traitor, a gentleman, or a villain, all have their own purposes. The loyal ministers hope that I can rejuvenate the Han dynasty and become a generation of famous monarchs; The traitors hope to get high-ranking officials, glory and wealth from me......"

Saying that, Liu Xie, the emperor of the emperor, looked at Lu Ren again: "I am the Son of Heaven and the emperor, and I know that this is my inescapable fate, and why don't I want to revive the foundation of my Han family?" It is precisely because of this that I have always been careful to maneuver between the people. But Lu Qing, have you ever thought that the son of heaven who had experienced hardships at the beginning was only a teenager! They haven't even reached the crown yet! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu Xie sighed softly again: "Lu Qing, there are all kinds of people around me, but I don't have any friends, not even fox friends, dog friends, wine and meat friends. Thinking that I am torn between loyal ministers, traitors, gentlemen, and villains all day long, why am I not physically and mentally exhausted?

"So many times, I just want to be like an ordinary scholar, laughing uncontrollably with some close friends in the dilapidated wine shop, playing the sword and singing at will...... No, you don't have to be friends, even if it's just to be as funny as some lonely friends. Lu Qing, you don't know, occasionally I heard about Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's debauchery when they were young, and I really don't know how envious I am. ”

Lu Ren was a little dumbfounded, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao's second generation of officials made out in their youth were all famous in history, and they were really rotten. But from another point of view, these people do have a good time.

Emperor Liu Xie said: "Of course, I know that I am the Son of Heaven, and I have to maneuver between everyone, and I must not act recklessly, let alone be like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao when they were young. But Lu Qing, among all the people at that time, you were the only exception, because you were the only one who didn't have any utilitarian heart, just came to play with me and chat with me.

"Although it is a bit perfunctory, it can also make me not have to think about those utilitarian battles when I get along with you, and I can rest assured that I will play ball and talk nonsense, so that my mood will be more relaxed. Therefore, Lu Qing, you are by no means a courtier to me, but the only friend in my heart. Even if it's just a lonely friend who plays with me and spends all day drinking, it's still a friend, isn't it? ”

After hearing this, Lu Ren could only smile helplessly. Those so-called emperors are lonely, although Lu Ren can't empathize with them, but there are never fewer books or film and television works of this kind, so Lu Ren can still understand some of them. And Emperor Liu Xie, in the current situation, clearly told Lu Ren that he regarded Lu Ren as a friend, and Lu Ren who wanted to say that he was moved or something, but he would have some strange feelings in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "You are Kangxi, am I Wei Xiaobao?" Didn't Lao Cao become a worship? But it's a bit like that. Especially me, although I don't have Wei Xiaobao's seven wives, the number of my wives is also quite a lot, and in terms of quality, how many streets can Wei Xiaobao's seven wives be exposed. ”

After Liu Xie, the emperor here, said this, the whole person seemed to be much more comfortable, as if he had been constipated for many days, but at a certain moment, all the waste in the intestines was excreted at one time. He smiled at Lu Ren again, and then opened his mouth with a light sigh with a smile, and this time he even changed his title: "Ten years, it's ten years in a blink of an eye!" It's the first time in 10 years that I've been able to talk to someone so freely...... Brother Yihao, thank you for taking such a big risk to come and see me, and for me, you are a friend who is not wrong. Even if you're a friend of wine and meat, or a fox friend, at least you still remember me. ”

Lu Ren moved his mouth, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are not worried that I came here like this, in fact, I also asked you?" I'm also a utilitarian person! ”

Emperor Liu Xie smiled: "Who are you Lu Ren?" In ten years, you can turn Yizhou, a barbarian land, into a rich land that even Cao Cao looked at, what can you ask of me? Besides, with your ingenuity, don't you know that I am just a useless genius today, and I can't give you anything at all? Even if you do, it's going to be something that doesn't matter, something I can do casually. Say, what do you want me to help you? Explain in advance, you send me so many gifts every year, I always have to give you a gift back, we are also a courtesy exchange, and the relationship with the monarch and the minister is not reliable. ”

“…… That is true. Lao Cao's claim to the public is no longer something that anyone can stop. ”

As soon as Lu Ren's words came out, Emperor Liu Xie's face darkened. As the emperor of the Han family, Emperor Liu Xie knows better than anyone what this matter will mean, but what can he do now?

At this time, Lu Ren continued: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you for a favor, to find a time and an opportunity to talk to Xun Yu in a few days, so that he can find a way to go to Yizhou to find me when he knows that he can't do anything." ”

Emperor Liu Xie was stunned and asked, "Why?" Yihao, do you just want me to pass this sentence to Wen Ruo? ”

Lu Ren said: "Your Majesty's words are enough. Otherwise, with Xun Yu's character, I really don't know what kind of stupid thing he will do. And at this time, Your Majesty, you are the only person who can let him choose other ways to retreat, and in my opinion, as long as people are alive, there will always be other opportunities for many things. ”

Emperor Liu Xie looked at Lu Ren for a while, shook his head gloomily and said, "Yihao, why are you doing this?" In fact, for me, I hope that you can live a free life in Yizhou and not get involved in these battles again. And you have exactly what you can do. ”

Lu Ren said: "Many things are not so simple, it can be said that since I lost Wan'er, I may have been destined to be involved in these battles. And even today, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan, no one will ignore my Yizhou realm. And although I am like Liu Biao, I am not Liu Biao after all. ”

“……”

Emperor Liu Xie was silent for a while, and finally nodded to Lu Ren: "Okay, I promise you, anyway, it's still easy for me to just explain a sentence to Xun Wenruo...... Yihao, do you remember Wan'er? ”

Lu Ren sighed softly: "How could I forget? Although I rarely mention it now, it is just that I buried her deep in my heart. ”

Emperor Liu Xie also sighed: "It's a pity, it's really a pity." And although she came from a humble background, she is really a rare good girl. Yihao, you may not know, at that time, you sometimes couldn't come into the palace to play ball and chat with me because of busy government affairs, so you could only let Wan'er and them take their place temporarily, and I also admired Wan'er very much. Because she, like you, is close to me, but she doesn't have any other thoughts. If it weren't for something like that that later, I would have been ready to add a princess or county lord title to Wan'er, so that she would have an identity, and she would be justified when she was with you again. ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "The beauty has passed away, it's useless to talk about it......"

Emperor Liu Xie said: "Are Wen Ji and Xiaolan okay?" ”

Lu Ren said: "It's all good." Aren't there some books in Yizhou that have also spread to Xudu? There are several books written by Wen Ji; As for Xiaolan's girl......"

At this time, Emperor Liu Xiezhi remembered something, and hurriedly said to Lu Ren: "Do you still have that gramophone?" How about sending two more to Xudu? The one you contributed before seems to be broken somewhere, and it will go out of tune when you play the record. Alas, I really can't imagine that the naughty little Lu Lan at the beginning has such a moving singing voice now. Recall that you once took Wan'er, Wen Ji, and Xiaolan to play a concert in the palace, and that was also my happiest time. It's a pity that since you left Xu Du, there hasn't been anything like that. ”

Both fell silent at the same time. After a long time, Emperor Liu Xiecai sighed and said in a low voice: "Lu Qing, it's rare to be able to meet you and talk to you, I really want to talk to you about wine and get drunk again, but I can't hurt you...... It's almost time, so you might as well go. ”

Lu Ren nodded, gave a salute to Emperor Liu Xieluo and said a few words like "take care", activated a certain device, and the figure gradually disappeared into the night. On the other hand, although Emperor Liu Xie was a little surprised by this, he was not very surprised, because he knew that Lu Ren must have some messy skills, otherwise he would not have been able to sneak into the palace like today. Therefore, after Lu Ren's figure disappeared, Emperor Liu Xie sat back on the tablet of the Zongmiao, and said silently in his heart: "Lu Yihao, no matter what you think of Yu Me, I really regard you as a friend. Even if it's a fox friend, a dog friend, a wine and meat friend, you're my only friend after all......"

————————————————————

When Lu Ren returned to the inn, the anxious Minchan finally put her mind at ease. As for Lu Ren's sneaking into the palace, Diao Chan didn't ask a word more, anyway, as long as Lu Ren came back safely.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ren and Minchan retreated from the inn and came to Wan'er's mound to worship. And Wan'er's well-dressed mound has been ten years, but there is nothing dilapidated, and the originally very simple tomb may not have anything else, but at least it is clean. Lu Ren knew about this matter, one was that Emperor Liu Xieyou had people clean up at four o'clock, and the other was that after Wan'er passed away, in addition to Mrs. Ding, who was raising the young and righteous house, would come to see it when she was free, some people around Xuchang would often come to pay respects, after all, at the beginning, Wan'er followed Lu Ren's side and often helped those displaced people in Tuntian. And the simple people are all remembered...... (To be continued.) )
