It was only then that Lu Xiaohuan remembered that she was suspected of assassination, which was more serious than her mother, Mrs. Wei's resistance to the imperial edict.It's just that I feel a little bit unwilling to think that I have finally become a Langguan, and was dismissed after a short time.

"However, you can continue to study and practice rituals with Cai Lingshi." Liu Xie said, "Whether you can be reinstated depends on your performance."

Lu Xiaohuan was overjoyed, and then asked again: "Can the minister still train with Habayashi?"

Liu Xie wanted to refuse at first, but changed his mind after seeing Lu Xiaohuan's desperate look.

"If you read well, you can participate in training."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Xiaohuan broke free from Lu Bu's hand, came back in front of Liu Xie, lay down on the ground, and kowtowed twice vigorously. "Your Majesty is the most wise. From now on, I won't listen to anyone, just listen to Your Majesty."

Liu Xie caressed his forehead with one hand and waved with the other.

You can go now, I really can't bear it anymore.

Chapter 368

After Lu Bu's family of three got out of the tent, Cai Yan stood up and pleaded guilty.

"Your Majesty has been disrespectful in front of you, please punish me."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan whose face was flushed, and waved his hands with a helpless expression.

"Forget it, don't say you can't help it, I can't help it either."

He pretended for a long time, but in the end he was defeated by Lu Bu's family.

Cai Yan bowed again, but couldn't get up, and then said: "Your Majesty is kind, of course it is good. It's just that treating Lu Bu and Chen Gong like this is biased, and it will inevitably attract criticism."

Liu Xie put away his smile, and looked at Cai Yan solemnly.

Cai Yan usually doesn't take the initiative to ask for advice, but she took this opportunity to speak today, probably because she has been waiting for several days.

The treatment of Chen Gong will indeed give people such an impression.

As a talented man in the Kanto region, Chen Gong came thousands of miles to vote, and handed him such a good knife, which easily deprived Lu Bu of his military power.Chen Gong has made contributions to the imperial court.

Lv Bu was dismissed from his official position and closed his doors to reflect on himself. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao logically broke away from Lv Bu's command system and became the old ministry.

Even if Chen Gong is not reused, he will not be allowed to go on an envoy on a modest basis to persuade Yuan Shao to stop the army.

To put it bluntly, this is killing with a borrowed knife.

"Ling Shi, Bing Liang has many warriors and few civil servants. When dealing with them, one should not be too devious, and one should not speak too profoundly. It's very easy to drop."

"Your Majesty's words are true, but Chen Gong..."

"Although Chen Gong's plan is ingenious, it is a little wit and too cunning. Such means are acceptable to the enemy, but the gain is not worth the loss to oneself. If I use him because of this, there must be many who follow. The one who is being used today is Lu Bu, Tomorrow it may be Ma Teng who will be used. It won’t be long before the generals, like Li Jue and Guo Si, don’t trust each other, how can they work together and fight side by side?”

Cai Yan was thoughtful. "Your Majesty is saying that clumsiness should be used to defeat ingenuity, the heavy will win the light, and the conspiracy should be replaced by scheming?"

Liu Xie nodded. "It's not that I don't want to use Chen Gong, but if Chen Gong doesn't get rid of his habit, I dare not use it."

"Your Majesty's habit, does it mean that Chen Gong regards himself as a celebrity and despises warriors?"

"This is just one of them." Liu Xie said indifferently: "He is loyal only to the gentry, even the Yanzhou gentry, not to the people of the world, let alone a big man. After my victory, he didn't come to see me, and he made so many tricks , I just want me to see how wise he is as a wise man, and he values ​​the gentry."

Cai Yan suddenly realized.

If Chen Gong is just playing tricks, the emperor can still accept it.Chen Gong wanted to prove the importance of the gentry, and ignored the interests of the Bingliang warriors. This affected the foundation of the emperor's great cause of rejuvenation, and the emperor absolutely could not bear it.

"I'm stupid, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"The speaker is not guilty. If Lingshi has a heart, he might as well write a few articles to let the people in the Kanto know my intentions. If there are people who don't mind the hardships of the frontier and are willing to join us in the grand event, I welcome them."

"Dare to obey."

-

At Nankou, Chen Gong got out of the car and walked back and forth by the river to relax his numb body.

There are many people on the ferry, most of them come and go by horse, and very few by car.Seeing a carriage parked aside, many people cast curious eyes and pointed.

Chen Gong was in a bad mood and had no interest in watching them.

He just wanted to cross the river early and get out of here.

But there are many people crossing the river, and there are many horses.The boatman was very busy ferrying back and forth again and again.

There were not many people going to the east bank, and Chen Gong wanted to get on the boat, but he gave up when he saw the horse manure scattered on the boat.

There are more and more people on the west bank, and those who have already crossed the river are still waiting for their companions who have not crossed the river.

Just when Chen Gong's mood became more and more anxious, and he almost couldn't hold back his temper, a tall and handsome man came in front of him and bowed his hands in salute.

"Changshan Zhao Yun, ask your step well."

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and returned the salute. "What advice do you have?"

"How dare you." Zhao Yun pointed to the person who was crossing the river. "I'm coming from Jizhou, and I want to serve the imperial court. I am polite and polite, which is different from the local people, but I am an official of the imperial court?"

Chen Gong subconsciously straightened his back, held the knot inserted in the car in his hands, and his face was a little more reserved.

"In Chengong, Xiadong County, as a servant of the censor, I was ordered to go as an envoy to appease the Guandong."

"Sure enough." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "It's really a sin for me to delay the envoy's trip. Although Chen Jun has a heavy responsibility, he does not rely on his official authority and is a gentleman. It is no wonder that the emperor has a gentleman like Chen Jun to assist him. Destroy Xianbei and shake northern Xinjiang."

Chen Gong's face was a little hot, but he was too embarrassed to say anything, so he could only talk about him. "Why, Chang Shan also knows about the great victory of the Son of Heaven?"

"It's not just Changshan, I'm afraid the whole Jizhou knows about it." Zhao Yun laughed, turned around and said, "Look, these are all strong men who came from Jizhou to join the army, and one is from Guangling. Coincidentally, they have the same surname as Mr. Chen Shijun, Shijun, this way."

A young man came out from the crowd, glanced at Zhao Yun, and then his eyes fell on the knot in Chen Gong's hand.He walked quickly to Chen Gong and bowed.

"Chen Rong, Guangling, pay homage to the envoy. Dare I ask if the envoy came here from the Son of Heaven?"

Chen Gong stared at Chen Rong twice. "Could it be Zang Ziyuan's old friend, Chen Rong, Prime Minister of Dongjun?"

Chen Rong was stunned. "One step is..."

"I'm Chen Gong."

Surprised and delighted, Chen Rong took a step forward, holding Chen Gong's arm with both hands. "Chen Jun, it's really great to see you here." As he spoke, tears welled up, and two grooves rushed out on his dusty face.

Chen Gong didn't dare to neglect, and quickly pulled Chen Rong aside.

Zhao Yun also asked with concern if he needed help.

With tears in his eyes, Chen Rong hurriedly thanked Zhao Yun for his care along the way, and then walked aside with Chen Gong.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun wisely did not follow, but there was a bit of doubt in his eyes.

Chen Rong walked with him all the way, only talking about going to Meiji, and never said anything else.Now that he was so excited when he met Chen Gong, he clearly had something on his mind, and it was a big deal.

He was willing to help, but Chen Rong obviously didn't want him to know too much, so he had to stay away.

Chen Gong and Chen Rong walked about a hundred steps away from the crowd and greeted again.

Chen Rong looked at the festival in Chen Gong's hand, and said anxiously: "Where is Chen Jun going?"

Only then did Chen Gong realize that he hadn't introduced his identity yet, so he said it again quickly, specifically emphasizing that the first thing the emperor sent him to Kanto was to persuade Yuan Shao to stop the army and conscript Zang Hong into the court.

Chen Rong became anxious when he heard it. "Then you are still waiting here? Dongwuyang is at stake, Zang Ziyuan may be decapitated at any time."

Chen Gong was a little surprised, he didn't take this task seriously at all.In his opinion, at this moment, Dongwu Yang may have already been breached by Yuan Shao.The emperor sent him there just to torment him.

"Has Yuan Shao not defeated Dongwu Yang yet?"

"No." Chen Rong shook his head. "But Yuan Shao became furious and mobilized tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city, determined to win."

Chapter 369

Chen Gong suddenly realized that his chance had come.

If Zang Hong can be rescued and Dongwuyang can be saved from war, he will be a meritorious person, and he will have a clear conscience in the court, the village, and Zang Hong.

At that time, the emperor will have to re-examine him.

Even if he doesn't want to go back to Meiji and serve the emperor, he can still live in seclusion in the countryside and enjoy his life.

Chen Gong became excited. "I will rush to help Zang Hong, Shijun, would you like to go with me?"

"I can't ask for it." Chen Rong bowed to the end, then pulled Chen Gong towards the ferry, squeezed in and shouted loudly, telling the people waiting by the river to get out of the way and let the envoy of the Son of Heaven cross the river first.

The knights who had just crossed the river glared at him, but they only saw the knot in Chen Gong's hand and knew that he was an official of the court and the envoy of the emperor, so they dared not presumptuously and reluctantly stepped aside.

Zhao Yun rushed over, commanded the knights to get out of the way, and sent Chen Gong's car onto the boat.

Chen Rong was so strong that he didn't give Chen Gong a chance to explain, and directly dragged Chen Gong onto the boat.Pulled by him, Chen Gong staggered and stepped on the horse manure. He felt extremely sick immediately, and threw himself to the side to retch.

The ferry was shaking, Chen Gong was unsteady, and almost fell into the water, but thanks to Zhao Yun's quick reaction, he jumped onto the boat and grabbed Chen Gong.

Chen Gong's complexion was pale, he looked embarrassed, a little bit angry, but he didn't like to get angry.

Zhao Yun stabilized the boat and signaled the boatman to be careful, then said goodbye to Chen Gong and Chen Rong, and returned to the shore.

Watching the river crossing towards the east bank, Zhao Yun felt a little uneasy.

Chen Gong is impatient and seems not suitable for him.Is there no one available for the Son of Heaven, is it inevitable, or is there another reason?

After all his followers had crossed the river, Zhao Yun mounted his horse again and rushed to Meiji.

-

Chen Gong boarded the carriage again, and Chen Rong accompanied him on horseback, galloping all the way.

But the more Chen Gong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

When we arrive at Dongwuyang, how can we persuade Yuan Shao to stop fighting and let Zang Hong go?

Edicts are useless.The emperor does not recognize Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao does not recognize the court.The imperial edict will only stimulate Yuan Shao, and will not make Yuan Shao bow his head to obey orders.

Then why did he convince Yuan Shao?

He has no friendship with Yuan Shao, but has feud.Brothers Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao turned against each other. He supported the brothers Zhang Miao and welcomed Lv Bu into Yanzhou. He also plotted for Lv Bu and fought against the generals sent by Yuan Shao for nearly a year.

No matter how you think about it, this task seems impossible to complete.

After repeated weighing, Chen Gong decided to go to Taiyuan to seek advice from Sikong and Zhang Xi.

-

Liu Xie picked up the last official document of the day, glanced at it, and then froze.

Among dozens of lines of text, a line of words caught his eyes.

Zhao Yun, named Zilong, was born in Changshan Zhending and joined the army.

"When was this delivered?" Liu Xie was overjoyed.

"It was delivered early this morning." Cai Yan glanced at it, unavoidably a little surprised.There have been a lot of people who have come to join the army recently, and the post houses along the way will send a batch of lists every day. I have never seen Liu Xie so excited.

Liu Xie calculated the time, and estimated that Zhao Yun would arrive this afternoon if he was fast, and at noon tomorrow if he was late.

"Tell Yan Xing to come."

Cai Yan got up to make arrangements.

Liu Xie walked back and forth in the tent twice, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He didn't expect Zhao Yun to come.He always thought that Zhao Yun was already by Liu Bei's side, and he and Liu Bei had the status of monarch and minister.With Zhao Yun's personality, the possibility of abandoning Liu Bei and returning to the court at Liu Bei's most difficult time is almost non-existent.

Unless Liu Bei, like Lu Bu, was homeless and had to come to the court.

Even so, Zhao Yun, like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, is still a minister of Liu Bei, not a minister of the court.

Liu Bei is not Lu Bu, and he does not have a counselor like Chen Gong who is always ready to backstab. The possibility of poaching Guan Zhangzhao is infinitely close to zero.

Unexpected harvest is the happiest, just like Zhao Yun in front of him.

After a while, Yan Xing entered the account.

"Yanming, today or tomorrow, there will be a Zhao Yun among those who come to join the army. You go and try his martial arts. If it works, I will give him the post of regular servant of the cavalry and order him to palm the left side."

Yan Xing glanced at Liu Xie in surprise.

As the number gradually increased, Liu Xie divided the Sanqi servants into three divisions, left, middle and right, commanded by three Sanqi regular servants.

Guo Wu was the first regular servant of loose cavalry, commanding the fifty cavalry in the middle.

Ma Chao was originally the second regular cavalry servant, commanding the thirty cavalry on the left.But he was determined to lead the army, so the emperor promoted him, made him a partial general, and ordered him to return to Liangzhou to take charge of his father Ma Teng's old troops.

Yan Xing was the third regular attendant on loose cavalry, commanding the thirty cavalry on the right.

On the left side, there are often servants in vain, and many people are fighting openly and secretly, but the emperor has not yet decided on a candidate.Many people thought that the emperor preferred Zhang Liao or Pang De and was waiting for an opportunity.Unexpectedly, the emperor will now grant this position to Zhao Yun who has not met yet.
