I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 598 The hidden dangers of the imperial court

Mi Zhen didn't agree with anything, and Mi Zhu was a little confused.

It's not that as the head of the family, he can't ask for Mi Zhen.

But Mi Zhu knew his sister's temperament very well.

His sister's temperament is too strong.

If he had to force his sister to do something, it would be bad to cause some big trouble in the end.

Besides, this matter has to be consensual. If Mi Zhen is unwilling, you really send her to Liu Jian, and she seems so stubborn in front of Liu Jian. Liu Jian will be really unhappy then, let alone The Mi family has become more and more attached to each other because of Mi Zhen's incident, and Liu Jian might even clean up the Mi family because of Mi Zhen's incident.

And Mi Zhen was right about one thing.

Liu Jian was such a shrewd person. He had given one of his beautiful women to Liu Jian as his concubine. Could Liu Jian not be suspicious?

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu couldn't help but have a headache. He then rubbed his temples and said to Mi Zhen, "That's all. Since you don't want to, what can my brother do to you?"

"If you don't want to go there and be someone's concubine, then don't go there."

"However, you are indeed quite young."

"You have to think carefully about some things and think about them clearly."

"Since you don't want to be the general's concubine, you have to think about a good family."

"As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Your marriage should have been decided by your brother, but I have loved you as my sister since I was a child, so I don't force many things on you."

"But you don't like any of the wealthy people who came to propose marriage. Are you going a little too far?"

"Do you want to stay alone in your house for the rest of your life, with me, you and your second brother as companions?"

Mi Zhen smiled softly: "What's wrong with this?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Mi Zhen didn't dare to tease Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhen felt much better now that his eldest brother had promised him not to give him to others as a concubine.

As for other things, he should think about it later.

"Brother, my sister has the right to withdraw temporarily."

After Mi Zhen left, Mi Fang looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Brother, you just gave up like that?"

Mi Zhu sighed: "What if I don't give up? Don't you understand the character of this girl?"

"I just forced her in front of the general, so what can I do?"

"When the time comes, she won't be able to make the general angry."

"The general is also a smart man and will definitely be alert to our intentions."

"Acting like this is not good for our Mi family."

Mi Fang nodded suddenly.

Then I saw him touching his chin and starting to think about something carefully.

……

……

During this period of time, Liu Bei was very busy in Xuzhou.

Although Liu Jian recommended Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin to Liu Bei, making them Liu Bei's right-hand men, Xuzhou had to carry out so many reforms at once. As the leader of Xuzhou, Liu Bei was naturally busy all the time.

To be honest, I don't have much time to eat barbecue, drink fine wine, and play with beautiful women.

In fact, Liu Bei has always lived a very well-behaved life. After all, during these years of chaos in the world, Liu Bei has always acted as a direct general under Liu Jian, and he also fought tooth and nail to protect Liu Jian's family in Luoyang...

I really don’t have much time to spare.

Now he has become the lord of Xuzhou. Although he has worked very hard to run Xuzhou for Liu Jian, since he is now the leader, it should not be a big deal to relax occasionally.

So on this day, Liu Bei came out to relax for a while at Mi Fang's invitation.

Now Liu Bei cannot leave Tancheng easily.

Liu Bei can't do things like going out to hunt in the city for the time being, because if something happens in Xuzhou City, he won't be able to get back in time.

So according to Mi Fang's opinion, he took advantage of Liu Bei's free time today and invited Liu Bei to have some fun and entertainment in the city.

Mi Fang chose the largest wine shop in the city and booked the entire wine shop, prepared fine wine and meat, and enjoyed singing and dancing while barbecuing meat on the second floor of the wine shop.

Mi Fang recruited the most famous band of musicians in Tancheng and asked them to play music and dance in the wine shop to entertain him and Liu Bei.

Of course, beautiful women accompanying the wine are also indispensable.

Mi Fang specially selected four of the most beautiful music girls to sit next to herself and Liu Bei, serving them meat and pouring wine, which was a great time.

Liu Bei hasn't enjoyed such a luxurious life for a long time. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he has scruples.

He has now taken charge of Xuzhou Shepherd. If he is always so extravagant and obsessed with wine and sex, others will laugh at him.

So he can only pretend to be very serious on weekdays to confuse people.

But Mi Fang is obviously the one who puts Liu Bei at ease and is more in tune with Liu Bei.

Moreover, Mi Fang seems to be very good at keeping secrets, and he is very strict with his mouth. He will never tell anyone about the ridiculous things he did with Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Bei felt relieved about him and could have fun hanging out with him.

"Hahaha, Zifang, I will honor you with another title!"

Liu Bei laughed, lifted the wine prince up, and shouted at Mi Fang.

Seeing Liu Bei enjoying himself so much, Mi Fang couldn't help but click her tongue.

Liu Xuande, who was usually very majestic and benevolent, now went to the wine shop, started drinking, and accompanied by a beautiful woman... he actually looked like such a dandy.

He is much more romantic than the children of wealthy families.

Thinking about his normal appearance, could it be that he was just pretending?

Or is he just pretending to look like this?

Mi Fang couldn't figure out why, but it didn't matter.

He burped, waved his hand vigorously towards Liu Bei and said:
"Your Majesty, Fang really can't drink anymore."

"Why don't you let the two of them drink with you for me?"

When she said this, she saw Mi Fang winking at the beautiful dancers.

These women are all promiscuous women in troubled times, and they are naturally masters of acting in every situation.

Moreover, they had accepted Mi Fang's favor beforehand, so they naturally knew that they would do their best to accompany Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty, I want to drink with you. Please drink more."

"Your Majesty, my drinking capacity is extraordinary. I would like to drink with you."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to him. I have many tricks. Your Majesty must try my tricks today."

Liu Bei had both sides, and was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"Okay, okay, very good, and use all your methods."

"Liu has been on the battlefield for a long time, is he still afraid of you women?"

Mi Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she saw Liu Bei's skill in playing tricks with women.

It seems that I really underestimated Xuande Gong's skill and ability before.

Mi Fang was gently sipping her wine on the side, and when she saw Liu Bei having fun with these promiscuous women one by one, she began to make calculations in her heart.Mi Fang felt that Liu Bei had drunk enough wine, so he brought the topic to the main topic without any trace.

"Your Majesty, since you and the general came to Xuzhou, all industries in Xuzhou have prospered, and the people's morale has been stable. Both military and political affairs have gone on the right track. Refugees from all over have gathered in Xuzhou, and various industries have begun to flourish. The general and envoy can truly be said to be Xuzhou’s saviors.”

Liu Bei belched wine and slowly put the wine cup in his hand on the table, with a deep smile on his face.

"Zifang, you finally started to say what you want to say. Bei has been waiting for you here for two hours today, but I haven't seen you say what you want to say. Do you have to get Bei drunk before you can say it? ?”

When Liu Bei said this, he seemed drunk, but in fact he was sober, which made Mi Fang tremble all over.

He never imagined that Liu Bei could see through his thoughts.

And now Liu Bei seems to be acting in front of him...

This person's intelligence is really unpredictable.

It turns out that the sensual and sensual look he had just now, intoxicated with wine and sex, was all just an act.

"Beauty, can you drink with me tonight?" Liu Bei hugged a dancer with a smile and teased her.

Mi Fang was stunned again when she saw Liu Bei's shameless look.

This outfit is too similar.

If he hadn't suddenly revealed a few words to himself just now, he wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

Thinking of this, the sweat on Mi Fang's head flowed down her neck, almost soaking her back.

The Liu brothers in Hebei are so powerful. Not to mention the general, even the Xuzhou Mu who leads them is also enigmatic and impossible to guess.

Thinking of this, Mi Fang hurriedly stood up, waved to the dancers, the musicians present, and the singing girls accompanying them, and asked them all to go downstairs.

Liu Bei, who was half drunk and half awake, felt a little depressed when he saw this.

"Why, why are all of them kicked out?"

After all these people came downstairs, Mi Fang knelt down and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Shijun, Mi Fang is just a villain. He actually wants to have his thoughts on Shijun. He is really guilty! Please don't blame Mi Fang, Shijun."

"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Mi Fang may not have any other advantages, but he is good at protecting himself by nature and is very timid. Once he sees some shortcomings, he will immediately surrender to the other person.

This is his natural character. Although such people have the potential to be villains, at the same time, such people are also easier to control.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Liu Bei has always been on good terms with Mi Fang.

Logically speaking, a villain like Mi Fang cannot get into Liu Bei's eyes.

However, Liu Bei was new to Xuzhou after all, and he needed a confidant to help him keep an eye on the many families in Xuzhou and what they were doing.

But such a character is not easy to find for Liu Bei.

Obviously, Mi Fang is a very suitable one.

So Liu Bei has been pretending to be stupid in front of Mi Fang today. Of course, he is not completely pretending to be stupid. He is also using today's incident to let himself relax and have a good time. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. Why not?

"Okay, Zifang, get up and tell me what's wrong with you."

When Mi Fang heard what Liu Bei said, she stood up quickly.

He bowed respectfully to Liu Bei.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Xuande... Thank you so much, sir, and thank you so much for your consideration."

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said calmly: "Everyone has their own little thoughts. As long as it is harmless to the country, it is not harmful."

"I've long felt that you specifically asked me to come to the wine shop to drink today, and there must be something hidden inside. Tell me, what exactly do you want to find out from me?"

"What is your purpose?"

Mi Fang swallowed lightly, and then said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, actually, I, I just want to find out from you, where is the general now?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed and he became very angry.

His momentum suddenly surged in an instant, and a suffocating atmosphere filled the air.

"Do you know what you are talking about? How dare you inquire about the general's whereabouts? Are you impatient?!"

Mi Fang was shocked when Liu Bei scolded her like this.

He hurriedly explained to Liu Bei: "Please don't be angry! I am not deliberately inquiring about the general's whereabouts, and I am definitely not suspected of plotting against the general."

"Shijun, think about it carefully. Our Mi family has finally invited the general from Hebei to Xuzhou. How dare we overestimate our capabilities and shake the tree to confront the general? Give me ten courages, and I wouldn't dare. ah."

Liu Bei looked at Mi Fang coldly, as if he was observing whether he was lying.

In the end, Liu Bei saw from Mi Fang's expression that he did not have any evil intentions.

This is also reasonable. If the Mi family of Donghai had evil intentions towards the Liu family, wouldn't they have trapped themselves in a cocoon and forced themselves to die?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's expression immediately softened.

"Zifang, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Liu Bei stood up, showed his kind expression again, pulled Mi Fang up from the ground, and then pulled him to the table, comforted him to sit down, and personally gave Mi Fang the barbecue on the plywood.

"Zifang, what can you tell me about? What do you want to see the general for?"

Mi Fang pondered for a moment and then said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, it's really not a big deal. It's just that I have a sister in my family who is beautiful and very virtuous... so my brother..."

Mi Fang was a sincere person and knew that telling lies in front of Liu Bei was of no use, so she told Liu Bei the truth.

Liu Bei suddenly understood after hearing this.

He stroked his beard and said seriously: "Zifang, if you, the Mi family, are interested in marrying your daughter to the general, it is really not easy to give it away directly, as this might make the general suspicious... If you and your brother are really serious, there are some things It depends on fate, you can't force it, but I can show you a way."

Mi Fang was overjoyed when she heard this: "Please give me some advice!"

Liu Bei's face straightened: "However, you need to understand that even if your sister can enter the general's residence, it is impossible for you to pass through the rear palace and make the general favor your people. If you use this In my mind, I took the opportunity to stop my thoughts early.”

When Mi Fang heard this, her face turned red and white, and she kept saying: "Yes, yes, absolutely not, absolutely not..."

……

……

At the same time, the envoy sent by Zhang Ji had met Liu Jian.

The envoy relayed to Liu Jian exactly what was happening in the court. At the same time, they also told Liu Jian about Xun You's countermeasures.

After the messenger finished speaking, Liu Jian asked the waiter to go and rest first.

Liu Jian was currently in Langya Kingdom, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also ordered to lead their troops.

When Liu Jian was listening to the envoy's report, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also by Liu Jian's side.

After the envoy went down, Zhang Fei asked Liu Jian: "Brother, Xun You and others are suppressing and pushing hard for the ministers. Do you think they will be defeated because of this and lose their foundation in the court?"

Liu Jian thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, from the emperor's point of view, he just wanted to use this incident to let Wang Yun and others suppress the Qingliu faction, and let Xun You, Ma Rixi, and Liu Biao Waiting for others to taste the bitterness, I will show you the shame of the emperor in the past,"

"But the emperor will never watch them being conquered by the ministers."

"After all, today the emperor is very similar to his father. This method of balance is the method that the late emperor is best at. Now in the hands of the emperor, although he is not as good at playing as the late emperor, he has inherited some of the essence of the late emperor."

Hearing this, Zhang Fei suddenly said: "In that case, the concession made by Xun You and others is to break this delicate balance so that the emperor cannot sit back and watch the success or failure."

Liu Jian sighed helplessly and said: "The emperor thought that the partisanship in the imperial court was the top priority now. In fact, he was wrong. There is a huge hidden danger in the imperial court, but it has not exploded yet."

Guan Yu asked: "What is the hidden danger?"

"It's the small five-baht coins issued by the emperor and Dong Zhuo in order to accumulate military expenses. These coins have been popular among the people for a long time. Sooner or later, they will accumulate and cause disasters, and they will suddenly break out and cause huge disasters."

"Just watch. In less than half a year, the land in Guanzhong will surely be plagued by disasters, rebellions will break out, and people will complain. At that time, it will be the biggest crisis for the imperial court."
