I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 13
Shi Hou Liu Bian, how is he?
Hearing Yang Biao's question, various images flashed in Cai Yan's mind.

Thinking back a few days ago when she first entered the palace, she was anxious, confused and didn't know the future, but to her surprise, although that Shihou liked to tease her, tease her, and even cried her again, but One thing to say is that it is really good for her.

"Cough, Zhao Ji?"

Yang Biao looked at Cai Yan with a strange face, lost in thought, and immediately showed a look like a little girl, and coughed to remind him.

Only then did Cai Yan wake up, and covered her flushed cheeks.

Lu Zhi and the others looked amused, but they felt relieved after seeing this scene.

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Let's change the question... Zhao Ji, do you know why Shi Hou is so close to Guo Sheng?"

"En." Cai Yan nodded, and immediately said with a somewhat complicated expression: "As far as I know, the fact that I entered the palace was entrusted by Shi Hou to Guo...Guo Changshi."

Ma Rixun shook his head and sighed, "Both the late emperor and His Majesty trusted the eunuch, and were deceived by the eunuch. Unexpectedly, Shihou also... Alas!"

Lu Zhi and Yang Biao also frowned and sighed.

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the three uncles, Cai Yan's lips moved slightly, and after several hesitation, he finally couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, although Shi Hou is young, he is quite assertive. , it’s not that others can be deceived by clever words.”

"Well?"

Lu Zhi looked at Cai Yan in amazement, and asked curiously, "Does Zhaoji know something?"

Yang Biao and Ma Rixun were also very curious.

But Cai Yan didn't speak any more, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, and Ma Ridun seemed to realize something, looked at each other, and stopped asking.

After a long time, Lu Zhi asked Cai Yan, "What does Zhaoji think about my east view?"

Cai Yan raised his head unexpectedly, but saw Lu Zhi introduce with a smile: "I look east, and there are many books in the world, the Five Classics, the philosophers, and hundreds of schools, all of which belong to this. Uncle knows that Zhao Ji also likes to read since she was a child. In the future, if you feel that living in the palace is boring, you might as well come to Dongguan more to walk around."

Cai Yan is intelligent, how could he not know the meaning behind Lu Zhi's words, hesitantly said: "This...this requires Shi Hou's permission."

Yang Biao said hastily: "Shihou loves Zhaoji so much, how could he not allow it?"

Perhaps feeling that Yang Biao was acting too urgently, Lu Zhi coughed and said, "I and the others didn't mean to force, just hope..."

"The little girl understands."

Cai Yan nodded and said, "I will do my best."

Lu Zhi and the others looked at each other, as if they could vaguely see shame in each other's eyes.

Afterwards, several people chatted for a while, Cai Yan got up and said, "I'm afraid Shi Hou is worried, my little girl should not stay for a long time, so let's take my leave first."

After Lu Zhi and others nodded, she took out the letter she had written to Cai Yong from her bosom, and entrusted Lu Zhi and others to send it to her father Cai Yong.

Lu Zhi and the others nodded in agreement, and immediately sent Cai Yan downstairs.

At this time, Liu Bian was still accompanied by Guo Sheng, visiting the ground floor of Dongguan boredly. When he saw Cai Yan, he asked casually, "Is it over?"

"Yeah." Cai Yan nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Bian did not say hello to Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, and Ma Rixun, and left with Cai Yan and Guo Sheng.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but because Guo Sheng is watching nervously.

Anyway, there will be opportunities to get in touch with Lu Zhi and the others in the future, so why be too eager and make Shi Changshi too nervous?
Liu Bian couldn't believe that Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, and Ma Rixun didn't tell Cai Yan anything in private.

In fact, he deliberately pampered Cai Yan in front of the palace to remind these court ministers: This woman is my heart, and you can take advantage of her to get in touch with me.

No, seeing that Liu Bian had never greeted Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and others before leaving, Guo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps thinking that his previous slander had had an effect.

Watching Liu Bian, Cai Yan, and Guo Sheng leave, Lu Zhi sighed and said, "Instigating a friend's daughter to pass on information to us is not an act of an upright person."

Yang Biao looked around and saw no one around, so he said with a bit of shame: "I can't bear it either, but if the regular servants in the palace are allowed to deceive Shi Hou, I'm afraid the court will become more corrupt and the country will not survive." .”

From the side, Ma Rixun nodded, and then said curiously: "It was only Zhaoji who said that Shihou has always had his own opinions, so he may not be deceived by clever words...Brother Zigan, what do you say..."

"I don't know either."

Lu Zhi shook his head, looked down at the letter in his hand, frowned for a while and said, "I hope what she said is true..."

After finishing speaking, he whispered to the two of them: "Don't reveal what happened today."

Yang Biao and Ma Rixun are both shrewd people, so they naturally understood the pros and cons, and nodded repeatedly.

After a while, Liu Bian took Cai Yan and Guo Sheng back to Jiafang Hall.

At this time, there were no traces of the execution outside the Jiafang hall. The bloodstains left by Feng Yu and others from the torture, and the yellow objects left by Yu Bao and others' incontinence had all been cleaned up, as if it had never happened.

That's right, it's really not a big deal for the entire Han Palace to kill a few eunuchs with sticks.

In contrast, everyone was even more surprised that Shi Hou, who was rumored to have "little majesty as an emperor", would actually do the brutal thing of killing an eunuch in a fit of anger.

I believe that within a few days, this matter will spread throughout the Han Palace.

After returning to Jiafang Hall, Guo Sheng also left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Liu Bian in advance that the palace will send a new house order.

You don't need to think about it, but this new Fang Dianling is still a ten-time attendant.

Liu Bian couldn't do anything about it. After all, he still couldn't completely reject this matter. He could only pretend to be angry and warn Guo Sheng in a disguised form: "... I hope the new Fang Dian Ling will not disobey me like Feng Yu ,otherwise……"

Guo Sheng personally experienced the death of Feng Yu with a cane, so he naturally understood what Liu Bian meant by "otherwise", and repeatedly assured him: "It should be so."

Seeing Guo Sheng leave without realizing it, Liu Bian couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Is it difficult to deal with ten permanent attendants?

It's not difficult!

But after thinking about it, he warned himself that now is not the time to be complacent, and it will not be too late to be complacent when he is in power in the future.

Glancing at Cai Yan who seemed to want to say something to him, Liu Bian ordered a few young eunuchs on duty in the hall with a straight face: "I want to be alone with Wen Ji, you all need to step back!"

Those little eunuchs looked at each other, showing some hesitation.

Liu Bian stared, and scolded sullenly, "What? Are you waiting for death too?"

Fang Dian ordered Feng Yu and others to be executed with sticks right in front of them, how dare these little eunuchs defy Liu Bian again and retreat hastily.

Seeing this, Liu Bian raised his eyebrows a little proudly, then took Cai Yan's hand and walked into the west hall of Fangdian, and asked her: "Didn't you entrust Lu Shangshu and others to send the letter home for you? Unhappy face?"

Cai Yan hesitated for a long time, and said intermittently: "There are many books in Dongguan, I... want to go and look at them in the future..."

"Really?" Liu Bian asked with a smile.

Looking at the smiling Liu Bian, Cai Yan felt flustered for some reason, bit her lips and hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, "It's actually a few uncles..."

As soon as she said the word 'uncle', her thin lips were blocked by Liu Bian's hands.

She looked at him in astonishment, but saw him say with a gratified expression: "It's not in vain that I dote on Wen Ji so much, well, I should reward her."

He... guessed it?

Cai Yan was surprised, and suddenly saw Liu Bian stepped on her face and kissed her face, the strange touch made her whole body tremble slightly, and she was suddenly ashamed and annoyed, so she didn't care about thinking about the previous things.

This little pervert took advantage of her again!

She secretly gritted her teeth angrily.

At the same time, Guo Sheng had already left the Jiafang Hall, and while walking, he suddenly saw a group of people appearing in front of him, upon closer inspection, it was Zhang Rang, the head of his ten permanent attendants.

A few strange thoughts turned in his mind, Guo Sheng greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Rang."

Compared with Guo Sheng, Zhang Rang was not in a good mood. He waved his hand to signal the little eunuch beside them to retreat to the distance, pulled Guo Sheng to the corner, and said with a frown: "Guo Changshi, how can you Indulge Shi Houzhang to kill Feng Yu?"

Maybe it was because Zhang Rang wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, Guo Sheng felt a little displeased: "He committed crimes, ran into Shihou, and tore Shihou's clothes. How do you ask me to protect him? Besides, this guy is not good-hearted. , and tried to pull out Ren Gong in public..."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Rang with some malice: "Thanks to him, Shi Hou is very dissatisfied with Rang Gong."

"what?"

Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard the words, and cursed angrily: "If so, you really deserve to die!"

After all, he glanced at Guo Sheng who seemed to be gloating, and said meaningfully: "Guo Gong, on the day Wang Fu died in the past, Han Feng Gong (Cao Jie) once said that we can only join hands to achieve success." Can coexist, I hope Guo Gongmo will do something..."

Guo Sheng's heart trembled, and he said with some displeasure: "Of course our family understands this, otherwise how could our family speak for Rang Gong in front of Shihou?"

"Oh? Thanks to Mr. Guo."

Zhang Rang pretended to thank Guo Sheng with a smirk, and then asked, "According to Mr. Guo, Shi Hou killed Feng Yu today, but why is he dissatisfied with us?"

Guo Sheng smiled lightly and said: "Feng Yu relied on him as a confidant of the Duke, so he just wanted to die. Knowing that Shi Hou was raised by the people since he was a child, he did his own way, but he insisted on stopping him in every possible way, and finally offended Shi Hou. If he doesn't die, who will die?"

Zhang Rang frowned and said, "As far as our family knows, Feng Yu is trying to prevent Shihou from going to the east..."

"Actually, that doesn't matter."

Guo Sheng indifferently told Zhang Rang about Liu Bian's actions after arriving in Dongguan, including Liu Bian turning a blind eye to Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and others.

Hearing this, Zhang Rang nodded slightly: "It seems that our family is too cautious.... Speaking of which, our family thinks that Shi Zixuan is a man of Taoism, but I can't think of Shihou who was taught by him... That's all, what happened today , and ask Guo Gong to deal with our family in front of Shihou."

"Good talk, good talk."

Although he was a little regretful that he couldn't take the opportunity to step on Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng was also a little proud of being able to make Zhang Rang come forward to beg in such a low voice.

Immediately, Guo Sheng brought Zhang Rang to Jiafang Hall.

"Qi, Qi report to Marquis Shi, Zhang Changshi and Guo Changshi ask to see you."

When a young eunuch approached Liu Bian fearfully, Liu Bian, who was listening to Cai Yan playing the qin, smiled imperceptibly.

If what he had expected was correct, Zhang Rang came to apologize to him in person, and by the way set aside his relationship with Feng Yu.

This is not surprising. After all, Zhang Rang compromised and gave in to He Jin many times in history. He didn't decide to get rid of He Jin until he was forced to retreat. How could he be hostile to Feng Yu because of him?

You have to make good use of it, after all, Shi Changshi...

The number of people is a bit too much, and some of them are even from the side of Queen Mother Dong.

It's also a good idea to let the ten permanent attendants stand in line in advance and take the opportunity to divide them.
