I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 163 My life, no turning back

"Yizhou and Jizhou?"

Liu Hong was lying on the bed, panting, but when he was young, he slowly closed his eyes, thinking carefully.

"I understand. It's just that I still need to discuss this matter with the ministers in the court. After all, the matter is so important that it cannot be settled overnight. When the court is approaching in the future, the two love ministers still need to present a performance. We will make a decision after the public discussion."

Liu Jian knew that this was not Liu Hong's excuse. This matter could not be settled immediately by the three Liu clan relatives standing here and talking to each other.

After all, it was Mushou, if they were sent out, then from now on, no matter whether it was military, government, wealth or power, this area would be owned by Mushou alone.

Moreover, this kind of thing also involves the power of some public officials in the local area, and after the establishment of the Mu, the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of the Mu Shou only have one person for the Mu Shou, so it involves the annual evaluation of the counties under the jurisdiction. A set of plans that are different from other states and counties, and a set of specific process systems have been recreated.

These things are not something that can be touched by the emperor's upper lip and lower lip.

The procedure of public discussion between the DPRK and China cannot be avoided.

At the beginning, Huangfusong, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Jian were temporary shepherds in Jizhou, more because Jizhou was the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising.

At that time, the Yellow Turban War was initially decided, and the biggest reason for letting the three of them serve as shepherds in Jizhou was because the Yellow Turbans had just been pacified, and the three of them were needed to garrison troops in Jizhou as a deterrent.

But now Limu, the situation is a little different.

This is the highest official who truly ruled a state for the imperial court during the non-war period!In a sense, Mu Shou is equivalent to the existence of the emperor in the place under its jurisdiction, and it can be said that it is a country within a country.

Then, after saying a few more words, Liu Hong finally couldn't stand it any longer, the emperor lay down to rest, and Liu Jian and Liu Yan immediately resigned and retired.

……

After leaving the West Garden, Liu Yan had a look of excitement on his face. He greeted Liu Jian happily and said, "Let's go, Deran! I have nothing to do today. I will go back to the mansion with the old man. Today is a great event. You and I need to be drunk and return home." !"

Liu Jian is not in such a good mood as Liu Yan.

He smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Don't blame Taichang, Jian still has some trivial matters at home today, so it's inconvenient to go there. After I have settled the family affairs, I will go to Taichang's mansion to see you someday!"

Liu Yan is also a person with sense of proportion, seeing Liu Jian's expression, he really had something on his mind, so he refused to persuade him, and then he said goodbye and left with Dong Fu.

It is estimated that the two of them should have run back to celebrate.

It is estimated that the two old men will drink like wine tonight.

Looking at the back of Liu Yan who disappeared into the distance, Liu Jian sighed softly and shook his head.

Liu Yanzhi is in a corner of Pianan, avoiding disputes and ignoring world affairs. His strategic goals are relatively easy to achieve.

But I am different.

His goals and wishes are much higher than those of Liu Yan.

But relatively, the higher the ideal and ambition, the more difficult it is to realize.

The road of thorns may only begin now.

……

……

After returning to his family's mansion, Liu Jian saw Zheng Ci and his son, and told Zheng Ci that he might have to go to a place to be a shepherd.

Liu Jian told Liu Bei the news that Liu Hong would marry Liu Bei and Cao.

Then he locked himself in the study, not taking a step out.

Zheng Ci originally wanted to ask Liu Jian, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.

Afterwards, Zheng Ci cooked for Liu Jian himself, and asked the maidservants to find Bian Yu'er, and asked her to deliver it to Liu Jian for him.

……

After a while, when it was time for dinner, Liu Jian was still in the study, holding the "Wu Sunzi Military Plane" presented to him by Sun Jian, watching for a while, distracted for a while, watching for a while, distracted for a while.

It's not that he doesn't want to concentrate on the art of war, it's just that there are too many distracting thoughts in his mind now.

"Snapped!"

Liu Jian threw the bamboo slips on the table and rubbed his aching temples.

The matter of Zhou Mu seems to have come to an end, and he is about to rule the roost, but troubles seem to come one after another, one after another in Liu Jian's mind.

At this moment, the door of the study opened.

Liu Jian looked sideways, but it was the tall and slender Bian Yu'er who entered the house carrying a tray of meals.

"Young Master, it's time to eat."

Liu Jian casually pointed at the desk case: "Let's put it here."

Bian Yu'er put the food on Liu Jian's table, but did not go out, but stood by.

"Why don't you go?"

"Young Master, Madam has an order to let the maidservant watch Young Master eat all the food before going out."

Liu Jian sighed lightly when he heard the words.

My wife...

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up some scallions and dried beans and put them in his mouth.

"Is this the meal cooked by Madam herself?" Liu Jian looked at Bian Yu'er who was standing beside him.

"Young Master, can you eat it?"

Liu Jian took another sip of sunflower soup, and said, "Of course I can taste the taste of my wife's cooking... Like this soup, it was not made by my wife, but it was not made by the cook. There is a bit of powdery smell in it, it should be done by the female relatives in the mansion."

"Returning to Shaojun, the sunflower soup is made by a lowly maidservant."

Liu Jian nodded, and he said while eating: "Since Madam cooks for me, why don't you bring it yourself, instead let you come?"

Bian Yu'er said softly: "Young Master, Madam said that she was afraid that seeing him at this time would hurt Shao Jun's feelings, and she wanted to wait for Shao Jun to figure out the worries in her heart before coming to see Shao Jun."

Liu Jian's chopsticks stopped.

"Madam, can you tell me, what is my worry?"

Bian Yu'er said: "Ma'am, the ancients said that those who can eat wine and meat can be beaten with whips. Those who can be awarded official salaries can be given special axes. Today, the young master receives the emperor's official salary and guards one side. The women and children in the family, He must stay in Luoyang. This is what Shaojun is worried about."

Liu Jian's expression didn't change much, he just continued to eat in silence.

When I was young, I heard Liu Jian suddenly ask Bian Yu'er, "What does Yu'er think about this?"

Bian Yu'er said: "The lowly maid comes from a humble background, and she doesn't understand poetry and books, and she doesn't understand the principles of saints. It's just that the lowly concubine once heard an old saying from Weng's generation when I was young: the sun is in the sun, the moon is full, and the moon is full. News. Because Shaojun has been appointed as a high-ranking official, although he will be separated from his wife for a while, as long as the fortune is followed, the concubine believes that when the time comes, the troubled things will naturally reverse, and Shaojun will definitely have a chance to reunite with his family."

"well!"

Liu Jian finished the meal in a big gulp, then put down his chopsticks, got up and said, "I have been so lucky in my life that I have met two virtuous women! The Liu family has no worries!"

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the door.

"Young Master, what are you trying to do?"

Liu Jian didn't look back, but said loudly: "I have figured out the worries in my heart, so I will naturally go to see my wife!"

……

……

When she came to the door, she saw Zheng Ci standing in the courtyard in white clothes. She watched Liu Jian come out of the room with a smile on her face.

"Husband has been thinking hard in the house all afternoon, and is he finally willing to come out?" Zheng Ci stepped forward, gently took Liu Jian's hand and said.

Liu Jian sighed: "After much deliberation, I still have no way to let you and the child leave Luoyang with me, but don't worry, three years... no! Two years! Two years at most! I must have a way to let you leave Luo Yang, then our family can be reunited."

Zheng Ci shook his head and said: "Your Majesty cares about the world, so you should put the world first. The position of shepherd is very important, and you are the first shepherd envoy appointed by His Majesty. How can Your Majesty let my family members accompany you?"

"It seems that the concubine's first wife, and the legitimate son of Xianghaier's family, must stay in Luoyang as a hostage."

"My husband is good at working hard outside, so don't worry about it. It's just that after becoming a shepherd, you must implement benevolent government in the local area,"

"If a husband has yin and virtue, he will repay him with yang. Virtue will prevail, but benevolence will eliminate all disasters."

"If this is the case, we husband and wife, as well as Jun and Xianghaier, father and son, will see each other again sooner or later."

Liu Jian held Zheng Ci's hand tightly: "Madam understands me so well, I feel at ease! But Madam, don't worry, you are not hostages in name, as long as you don't leave Luoyang City, His Majesty will not do anything to you. Besides, there is Xuande in Luoyang, the wife can decide the internal affairs of the family by herself, if there is any difficulty in foreign affairs, you can go to Liu Xuande!"

Zheng Ci smiled and nodded, and said: "My husband, don't worry, if nothing else, Luoyang City is rich in supplies, and our mother and son may live better here than in the local states and counties. It's really difficult. The big deal is that the concubine will go to Yuan Junhou Just beg in front of the gate of the house."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Yes, Madam can still find Yuan Shiji at critical times."

Zheng Ci looked at Bian Yu'er who was not far away and said, "Yu'er, your husband will be dispatched tomorrow, so you can follow him. I'm not here, you need to be by your husband's side to take good care of you."

Liu Jian said: "No need, all the female family members in the mansion will stay and serve you and the children. I have plenty of people around me."

Zheng Ci smiled and said: "No matter how many people you have around you, there is no one in your family who is caring. I have observed Yu'er for a long time in the past six months. She is frugal by nature, not gorgeous, angry and calm, and happy. most difficult."

"I can also see that you like her. She doesn't have an official status now. Why don't you just take this opportunity to accept her as a concubine. A concubine who has nothing to do will come out of Beijing with you. Your Majesty will not care about it, and let Yu My son is taking care of you by your side, so I can rest assured."

When Bian Yu'er heard the words, her eyes became sour, and she knelt down in front of Zheng Ci: "Madam's kindness, I can't repay you for your kindness. This humble servant will remember Madam's instructions, and is willing to protect the young master with her life."

Zheng Ci hurriedly helped Bian Yu'er up, and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, from now on there is no need to be called a maidservant, you and I can just be called sisters... Sister, today, I will hand over my husband to you."

Bian Yu'er pursed her mouth and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Liu Jian held Zheng Ci's hand and said, "Ma'am, take care! You and Xianghaier have been waiting for me for two years!"

Zheng Ci also said: "My husband is also precious, my concubine is not old, and Xiangbai is still young, so I can wait for 20 years."

After talking with Zheng Ci, Liu Jian's determination became stronger.

Even though the road ahead is full of thorns, he will move forward with his sword, and he will never be timid.

From now on, his life will never turn back!

On the second day, Liu Jian went out early.

He is going to meet someone.

……

……

"What? Who did you say is here?"

In the courtyard, Xu You, who was studying, heard the servant's words, and was so shocked that he almost dropped the slips in his hand on the ground.

"Patriarch, here comes a famous assassin, claiming to be Yilang Liu Jian."

"It turned out to be him?"

Xu You tidied up her clothes in a hurry, ordered the maid to bring the bronze mirror, stroked her hair well, then straightened her back and said, "Take me to see you!"

As he walked towards the outside of the house, Xu You was puzzled.

"Why did he come to me suddenly?"

No wonder Xu You is suspicious. Although Liu Jian and Xu You are both direct descendants of the Yuan family, Liu Jian is Yuan Ji's close friend, while Xu You is Yuan Shao's running friend. They have met each other online, and they don't have much contact with each other on weekdays.

Today, Liu Jian ran to Xu You's door, so Xu You was naturally a little confused.
