Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 652
On June 22nd of the third year of Xingping, two days after the big banquet on the [-]th, there was news from the Palace of Sanctuary that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had bestowed awards on the meritorious officials of the three parties.

However, even with translations by literate scribes, the common people still find it very obscure and difficult to understand those imperial edicts that are carefully worded and worded.I can only follow my own "unique" insights, and talk about it in the market. It's no wonder that the people in the Han Dynasty were so gossip, it was because the entertainment items in the Han Dynasty were too scarce.What's more, isn't this kind of major event in the world the same throughout the ages?

"Hey, have you heard that the imperial court is going to appoint the great Confucian Han Rong as Yangzhou Shepherd?"

"I've heard about it a long time ago, and I also know that this person's knowledge and morality are extraordinary. When Dong Thief was in trouble, he sent five people to appease Guandong. Don’t dare to kill with your hands.”

At this time in the Han Dynasty, the selection of officials still valued character and fame.I always felt that my integrity was at a loss. For more than four years, I was stunned and did not respond to Liu Xie's repeated recruitment.

But this time is different, Liu Xie only needs to pretend to be pitiful after returning, and describe the plight of the people in Huaiyang area in a more miserable way.Then tell Han Rong that this is a place where canine teeth criss-cross, and he cannot guard it. Liu Xie believes that no matter how hard-headed Han Rong is, he will never disobey the edict again.

After all, Liu Xie is going to kill Liu Xie this time, if he makes Liu Xie lose face, Liu Xie will really kill him - they are all thousand-year-old foxes in the political field, who can play two-handed Liaozhai?It's fine to mean each other, but it's not good to tear your face.

"Well, Your Majesty should have done this a long time ago. Our Yangzhou has been polluted by that bastard Yuan Shu, and we should have such a clean and upright Confucian to wash it off." Looking at the expression on his face, he waved his hand and said to the man, "Not only that, I also know that some of Yuan Shu's subordinates have changed their luck."

"Luck changed? How do you say that?"

"It's Mr. Yuan Huan, have you heard of it? He was appointed as the prefect of Jiujiang. This man is famous for being upright and upright. Before Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and usurper, this man was so angry that he would stay behind closed doors. , vowed to sever contact with Yuan Shu. Not only Master Yuan Huan, but also that Yan Xiang, I heard that he was also appointed Danyang prefect."

"Is that the guy who moved away the last vat of rice from our family?" Poor Yan Xiang's previous achievements in governing Jiujiang were all ruined by assisting Yuan Yao with all his strength for the last time.When the people heard Yan Xiang's name, their teeth were itchy with anger: "Go to Danyang, the soldiers there are powerful. Your Majesty's trick is very good. Let's see if that Yan Xiang dares to raid his house in Danyang and arrest him!" "

Danyang is a place, because Cao Cao once commented: "Danyang has dangerous mountains, many people are vigorous, good at martial arts, noble strength, and a land of elite soldiers", which makes the name of "Danyang Elite Soldiers" go down in history.And there is evidence to test that when Li Ling led 8 elite soldiers to Junji Mountain to fight against the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Shanyu summoned more than [-] elite cavalry to besiege and failed consecutively. The elite army came from Danyang.When Yan Xiang went to that place, he knew with his heels that he would definitely have a very headache.

However, this is precisely Liu Xie's brilliance. Yan Xiang's internal affairs methods are quite good, and his methods of making money are even better.The reason why the people in Danyang are warlike is because the mountains are dangerous and the land is poor. The so-called poor mountains and rivers make troublesome people, in a sense, this is the case.Let Yan Xiang go to Danyang, even if he can't create an eco-tourism resort in Danyang, he will send a group of elite soldiers to the Han Dynasty.

"What kind of news are you all talking about? With such a small horizon, don't you know other places besides Yangzhou?" Another person joined the discussion with a rather high profile.

"I know. Does it mean that the little overlord Sun Ce was worshiped by His Majesty as a general of the Ming and Han Dynasties? I have seen Sun Lang before, and he is really a handsome man who is rare in the world. My daughter took a look at Sun Lang and returned The family can't eat for a day... What a crime!"

"Yeah, and his sworn brother Zhou Yu Zhou Lang. I heard that he is an unparalleled handsome man in the world. He is elegant and handsome, more delicate and beautiful than a woman! My daughter-in-law just took a look at it, and when I went back, I picked my son's nose Picking up your eyes... you have committed a great crime!"

"What do you know? Can looks be eaten? The world is so chaotic, only those with skills can make contributions and make a fortune..."

But as soon as the person spoke halfway, he was ridiculed immediately: "You don't understand anything! Sun Lang and Zhou Lang are people with looks and skills. You have rewarded them with all the money and silk, how dare you say that you are too good-looking to be eaten?"

"You all be quiet!" The person who opened this topic suddenly became unhappy, and raised his voice to suppress the low-level gossip voice: "No matter how beautiful Sun Lang Zhou Lang is, he has returned to Wu County. Wu County is not yet Yangzhou Counties, can your vision be wider?"

"I know, I know!" Gossip is always full of people, and one person immediately jumped out and said, "You mean that Uncle Liu Huang was worshiped by His Majesty as General Zuo and led Yuzhou Mu?"

As soon as this person finished speaking, the person who caused the incident showed a satisfied smile: "Finally someone with far-sightedness, yes, this is what I'm talking about! You don't know, this Uncle Liu Huang used to be the shepherd of Yuzhou. It was Uncle Liu Huang who led the When the soldiers rescued Xuzhou, Lord Tao Qian asked the court to come down. Later, Lord Tao Qian died of illness, and the emperor went east to Xuzhou to let Uncle Liu be the shepherd of Xuzhou..."

"But Uncle Liu Huang is not the shepherd of Xuzhou, so who will govern that area of ​​Xuzhou?" Everyone's thoughts immediately shifted to Xuzhou, and they began to worry about the people of Xuzhou.Because, many of them have also heard that the court seems to want to give Xuzhou to the murderous Cao Cao...

As soon as the topic came here, there was a brief silence in the warm atmosphere.Afterwards, someone still couldn't hold back and said, "It seems, it seems, I heard that it is going to be handed over to Cao Cao, right?"

"Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty do such a thing!" Finally, someone said what everyone wanted to say the most, and he looked sad: "Cao Cao, that murderer, originally said he wanted to avenge his father, but in fact he wanted to get Xuzhou. Then One time, how many people did he kill? One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, how many people do I have in total? This guy Cao Cao finally got Xuzhou this time, why doesn’t he vent all his original grievances?”

"That's right, Your Majesty's move is really wrong. We see His Majesty's brilliance and martial arts, and feel that the Han Dynasty still protects us, so we can live with hope. Your Majesty's doing this this time is really disappointing..."

What you say and what I say, everyone is talking about Liu Xie's inappropriateness this time.Fortunately, Liu Xie's previous achievements and performances have become legends, so although most people expressed regret for this, they did not speak ill of Liu Xie.During the discussion, many people said with a trace of doubt: "You said, a person as smart as His Majesty, is he confused this time?"

"Oh, you are all wrong! Your Majesty is not confused, but he also has his own difficulties!" The discussion of the crowd finally attracted a real expert, and I saw this expert with a mysterious expression. Looking at the expression, it makes people feel unfathomable: "You don't know, my father's grandson is Uncle Liu's personal soldier, and he was waiting for the uncle outside the Palace of Worry that day. But you know that the uncle returned to the inner house After that, what did you say to General Guan and General Zhang?"

"What did you say?" The storytelling ability of this later generation is much better than that of the amateurs before, and they all set up suspense, making the people on the side anxious: "You should hurry up, you want to die in a hurry, don't we?" ?”

The man smiled slightly, but suddenly spread his hands and said, "My eldest father's grandson is only one of the emperor's uncle's personal soldiers, how do you know what the three of them said?"

"Alas...you," all the people were fooled by this person, and expressed their dissatisfaction: "Young man is dishonest, you can't find a good wife for a person like you..."

But when everyone was about to disperse and go about their business, the man hurriedly stopped them and said, "My eldest father's grandson didn't hear what was said in the inner house, but he heard what the three of them said after they came out." what."

"Scared, there is an inside story?" The people really admired this man at this time, the story told was more exciting than the storyteller.

"Not only did he say something, but the grandson of my elder father saw the three generals coming out with a spear angrily. The second general beside him was red-chested and his phoenix eyes were wide open. He didn't stop the three generals as usual. Only Uncle Liu Huang looked miserable, and he said to the two generals, "Could it be that you two want Your Majesty to waste all of your hard work?" After saying this, General Guan and the three generals stopped their anger a little..."

"Why, what's going on? Could it be that His Majesty gave Xuzhou to Cao Cao because of his own will?" The people on the side had never heard of such a thrilling secret, and their eyes were shining brightly, urging: "What's going on? what?"

This person is no longer a joke, and explained: "I don't know too well. Anyway, I heard that it was Liu Huangshu who said again, 'Now that Yuan Shao is powerful, the Cao thief is blatantly threatening His Majesty at the banquet. Your Majesty endured the momentary shame." , so unwilling to hand over Xuzhou, the people in this world are His Majesty's subjects, do you think His Majesty will not be so heartbroken? But for future plans, His Majesty has no choice but to repay the future with a plan!'——You Did you hear me clearly, Uncle Huang directly called Yuan Shao by his real name, and even called Cao Cao a thief, this is clearly Yuan Shao and Cao Cao forcing His Majesty to do this!"

"So it turns out that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao really deserve to die. As officials of the Han Dynasty, they didn't keep their duty and even insulted His Majesty. They really deserve to die!" All the people suddenly realized, and they began to criticize Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. .But at this moment, no one noticed that the 'grandson of the great father' had disappeared.

Of course, they don't even know that in the streets and alleys of Shouchun, mysterious figures like "uncle's nephew" and "uncle's son" appear everywhere.And such an explosive secret was passed on like a prairie fire until it spread to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and even Jizhou...
