Han family achievements

Chapter 230 Lu Zhi's Death
Liu Bian listened to Huangfusong's words, his expression was normal, but he knew in his heart that it would not be so smooth.

Liu Yan was ambitious, even if Liu Bian detained Liu Zhang and refused to return Yizhou, Liu Yan would not return Yizhou to the court.

"The Han Dynasty will end" is the consensus of countless people, and all kinds of careerists emerge in endlessly. Even though Liu Bian temporarily stabilized the situation, the careerists are still immersed in the dream of "achieve great things" under the hard-won.

"Your family, this matter,"

Just as Liu Bian was about to speak, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Immediately, Pan Yin stepped in quickly, without caring about anything else, and said with surprise and joy on his face: "Your Majesty, Cao Zhonglang will beg to see you."

"Cao Cao?"

Looking at Pan Yin's expression, Liu Bian was a little puzzled, and said, "What's the matter? Let him in."

Pan Yin responded, turned sideways,

Cao Cao looked cautious, lowered his head, held a letter in both hands, came to Liu Bian, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Xu You sent a letter to my minister for rebelling against Yuan Shu's military advisor."

Knowing Xu You, Liu Bian looked strangely, took the letter, and said, "The one who persuaded you to surrender?"

Cao Cao didn't speak, but bowed and waited quietly.

Huangfusong glanced at Cao Cao, seeing that he was silent, turned to look at the letter in Liu Bian's hand.

Liu Bian became more and more curious, took out the letter and scanned it, and immediately raised his eyebrows, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were cold and flashed like electricity.

Liu Bian didn't speak, and slowly handed the letter to Huangfusong.

Huangfusong took it over, examined it carefully, and said in surprise for a moment, "Yuan Shu, do you want to surrender?"

Liu Bian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Sit down and tell me your opinion."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Cao Cao saluted, he sat next to Huangfu Song and said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty, I think that Yuan Shu's letter is not so much a begging for surrender as a delay."

Huang Fusong looked at Yuan Shu's entrusted letter to Xu You, and his expression became more and more indifferent.

Seeing that Liu Bian hadn't spoken, Cao Cao said again, "Your Majesty, since going to Xia, Yuan Shu has fought on many fronts, and his troops are exhausted and food is exhausted, so he can't fight anymore. Most of his letter of begging for surrender is to delay the time until after the summer harvest."

Liu Bian was thoughtful, and said, "What do you think?"

Cao Cao immediately raised his hand, and said with piercing eyes, "Your Majesty, I think that Yuan Shu cannot be given this time. He should order all the troops to attack with all his strength!"

Huangfu Song frowned, and said: "The army of the imperial court is also short of soldiers and horses, and they are short of money and food. Moreover, people's hearts are not in harmony, and they are everywhere."

Cao Cao already knew something, and his expression became more serious, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to take this opportunity to screen out the loyal and the traitor!"

Liu Bian kept pondering in his mind, and said, "What did Da Sima say?"

Huangfu Song pondered for a moment, and said: "It's okay, but I'm worried that some people will take the opportunity to become bigger and turn against the court."

Cao Cao's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Then let's take this opportunity to eradicate them together!"

Liu Bian saw that Huangfusong was about to refute, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "This letter is to be handled by Shangshutai. What Cao Qing's family said has some truth, and I want to see some people's real bones. This letter I will leave it to Cao Qing's family to arrange it."

Cao Cao was heartbroken, raised his hand and said, "Minister, accept the decree!"

Huangfusong, like Lu Zhi, was sure that Liu Bian wanted to train Cao Cao, and the generals would be in charge of the Grand Sima Mansion.

Such an inference is not unfounded. His Majesty's preference for Cao Cao is well known.Seeing that Lu Zhi couldn't do it, Cao Cao's succession to him, and Huang Fusong in the future, was a matter of course, without hindrance.

Therefore, Huangfusong did not refute, but also wanted to see Cao Cao's true ability.

"Let's stop here today." Liu Bian stood up.

Liu Yu coughed again, and the little guy seemed to be unable to feed himself.

"The ministers will leave." Huangfusong and Cao Cao greeted each other, followed Liu Bian out of the apse, and then left in north and south.

When Liu Bian arrived at Yong'an Palace, Tang Ji was carefully feeding Liu Yu medicine.

"Come on." Liu Bian sighed softly in his heart, and stepped forward to take the medicine bowl.

Tang Ji pursed her lips, looking a little tired, and stood aside lightly, still watching Liu Yu with worried eyes.

The little guy's face was pale, the double-sided tape was tightly locked, and he moaned from time to time, in great pain.

Liu Bian sat down and gently fed him the medicine.

The little one could eat it, but spit out more.

Liu Bian wiped him and fed him again, feeling oppressed and uncomfortable.

The survival rate of newborn babies is too low now. Liu Yu has been very thin since he was born. It seems that he has given his sister all the nutrition. He has been sick all the time, which is worrying.

After a while, the little guy's brows slowly relaxed, and he pursed his lips, as if he had fallen asleep.

Liu Bian wiped it carefully for him, heaved a sigh of relief, took Tang Ji a few steps, and said in a low voice, "What did the doctor say?"

Tang Ji's eyes were red, and she said, "The doctor said, we can only take one step at a time."

Liu Bian nodded silently and said, "Please take care of me."

Tang Ji bit her lip and responded lightly.

Liu Bian came out of Yong'an Palace, feeling very uncomfortable, and said to Pan Yin: "Send a message to Taichang, Hongdu school, Taixue, to set up a medical department, cure diseases and save people, and the merits are immeasurable. For doctors, we must increase all aspects. support."

"The villain takes the order." Knowing that Liu Bian was in a bad mood, Pan Yin responded in a low voice.

On the other side, Xu You's letter arrived at Shangshutai.

Yang Biao was overjoyed at first and then surprised. He was at a loss and recruited Er Xun into Shangshutai.

"What do you think?" Yang Biao asked straight to the point.

Xun You didn't expect that Yuan Shu would write such a letter, but only for a moment, he said, "It's probably a tactic to slow down the army, we can't be fooled."

Xun Yu nodded and said: "Shi Xie defeated Yuan Shu in Nanhai County, Zhang Yun was beaten back by Yuan Shao, Sun Jian attacked Wu County fiercely, Liu Biao took Jingzhou, Yuan Shu's situation is extremely unfavorable, he wants to delay, it is expected things."

Yang Biao stared at the two of them and said, "The old man is asking you, what countermeasures should the imperial court have?"

Xun You and Xun Yu looked at each other, and Xun You said, "Prime Minister, what I mean by this officer is to order everyone to follow up and not give Yuan Shu a chance to breathe."

Yang Biao's face was as fat as iron, and he said: "How to pursue, do you have a strategy?"

Xun You said directly: "Prime Minister, I just saw this letter. This is a big matter, so we should discuss it in a long-term way."

"There is no time, you have to come up with countermeasures now!" Yang Biao said solemnly.He has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he wants to retreat calmly and not follow in Wang Yun's footsteps, so he has to do something.

A thoughtful look appeared on Xun Yu's mature face, and he said, "The simplest strategy is to focus on attacking, with Liu Biao in Jingzhou or Sun Jian in Wujun as the main force, force Yuan Shu to raise his troops to meet them, and beware everywhere. Don't breathe."

Yang Biao didn't understand soldiers, so he felt that it made sense, and looked at Xun You again, asking questions.

Xun You paused for a while, then said: "I remember that there is still a navy in Jingzhou, but they went deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong by surprise, so as to disturb Yuan Shu's army and make them restless."

Yang Biao was a little noncommittal about the two's countermeasures, knowing that the two were thousands of miles away, and they couldn't come up with any useful tricks, he thought about it and said, "Okay, follow me to the Da Sima Mansion."

Er Xun raised his hand and followed Yang Biao to the Da Sima Mansion.

Cao Cao was negotiating with Huangfusong. With Yang Biao and Er Xun joining in, the five gathered information from various places and discussed until late at night.

When it came to Liu Bian's desk the next day, it was an unprecedented comprehensive, huge, and ten-year-long conquest plan, which not only targeted Yuan Shu, but also included Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, the Yellow Turban Army, and even the Montenegro Army. And Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and so on.

Liu Bian looked at this plan for a full hour, dumbfounded and astonished.

"Good plan!"

Liu Bian closed the document and couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's just that there are too many conflicts with my plan."

Liu Bian stood up holding the table, went outside the door, stood under the eaves, and looked to the south.

The plan of Cao Cao and others was too large and complicated. It took ten years and required countless energy and money.

However, Liu Bian's national policy is to 'consolidate the foundation', rather than wasting national strength and constantly conquering and suppressing, that will only drag the Han Dynasty into the abyss, and it will never be restored.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty,"

Not far away, Xu Yan rushed over and said, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu is dying..."

Liu Bian's expression changed suddenly, and he said urgently: "Dian Wei, leave the palace and go to Lu's mansion!"

The imperial palace was suddenly alarmed, Liu Bian led people, Shangshutai, Da Simafu, and Yushitai were also all dispatched.

Liucao outside the palace, Tingwei Mansion, etc. all rushed to Lu Mansion.

When Liu Bian arrived, Lu Zhi, who had been bedridden for many days, was exhausted.

His eyes were glazed and he had lost focus, but he took Lu Yu's hand and said softly, "...after death...don't, make a fuss...no...the coffin, directly...buried..."

Lu Yu hugged Lu Zhi, crying and crying.

Lu Zhi didn't finish speaking, and slowly closed his eyes.

Liu Bian stood not far away, silent for a long time, then retreated again.

Outside the door stood Yang Biao, Huangfusong, Xun You, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Sima Jun and a large group of people.

Liu Bian glanced at them and walked out with a heavy heart.

Lu Zhi was probably the purest person in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bian respected him very much and hoped that he could go on in the long run.

But manpower is hard to overcome, and Lu Zhi is at the end of his life.

In fact, if Lu Zhi hadn't worked so hard, he would be able to live well and live a few more years.

For the sake of the court and the great man, Lu Zhi worked hard day and night, and finally this day came.

Liu Bian felt uncomfortable, walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, and said lightly: "According to Lu Qing's last wish, the funeral will not be held, and the relatives and friends of the Lu family will send it off. Bar."

After speaking, Chief Dean Liu let out a breath and strode away.

All the people watched Liu Bian's words, but they were all silent.

Lu Zhi is not good at communication, but he is also harmless and kind to others. Everyone is very grateful.

Yang Biao stood at the front and sighed softly: "Everyone, go back."

The crowd was startled for a moment, and then came to their senses, entered the room one after another, visited, said a few words to Lu Yu, and then left.

A large group of people came and walked very slowly. After noon, only Cao Cao was left alone.

The Lu family was already making preparations, and Lu Yu's eyes were red from crying, coming and going with the family.

He is only ten years old, but he is already sensible.

Cao Cao took the initiative to take over the "funeral management" matter, because He Xian had done it before, but this time it was handy, and the Lu family had no objection to this.

Lu Zhi's funeral was very simple, and all condolences were declined. The funeral was extremely simple, and he would be buried on the third day.

She was only wrapped in coarse cloth, and was carried out of the mansion by the Lu family to go out of the city for burial.

Before he could leave the house, Pan Yin hurried over and whispered to Cao Cao, "Your Majesty, a cemetery is reserved for Lu Gong in the north of Mang Mountain."

Cao Cao was startled and said, "Mangshan?"

The mausoleum of the emperor of the Han Dynasty was built near Mang Mountain. Liu Bian left Lu Zhi's cemetery to the north of Mang Mountain. Obviously, he planned to have his mausoleum there in the future. Lu Zhi's goal was to be on the side of the emperor's mausoleum!
This is a great honor!
After Cao Cao was startled, he suddenly came to his senses, raised his hand and said, "Cao Cao understands."

Pan Yin didn't have much, and left quietly.

Cao Cao turned around to find Lu Yu, and whispered a few words.

Lu Yu cried even more, and raised her hands to bow towards the palace.

Cao Cao led a group of people out of the city and went straight to Mang Mountain.

To the north of Mang Mountain, Xu Yan has been waiting for a long time.

With a sad face, he raised his hand with Lu Yu, and said: "Your Majesty said, follow Duke Lu's last wish, and be buried in plain clothes. This tombstone was carved by His Majesty himself, and the epitaph was written by Taichang Qing Bianrang. .”

Lu Yu turned his head to look at the stone tablet standing beside it, on which was inscribed: The tomb of the chariot general Wen Dehou Lu Yuzhi of the Great Han Dynasty.

The inscription is: Liu Bianli, Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

This kind of stele erection is not in accordance with the etiquette system, but Lu Yu still knelt down with a plop, crying loudly: "I thank God on behalf of my father!"

Cao Cao and a group of Lu's family members are very grateful, such kindness has never been seen since the Han Dynasty!
'I, Cao Cao, will do the same in the future! '

Cao Cao was expressionless, and thought to himself.

After a while of ceremonies, Lu Zhi, wrapped in plain clothes, was buried, filled with soil, and erected a monument.

The Lu family couldn't help but cry, and Lu Yu even passed out.

Cao Cao took care of the aftermath and did not bring people back to Beijing until evening.

And in the Chongde Hall.

Liu Bian sat on the chair with a dazed expression, looking at Lu Zhi's last playbook in his hand.

This is a memorial book that has been written for more than ten years. After improvement, it mainly includes ten policies: Yongliang, Leniency, Yumi, Beikou, Xiuti, Zunyao, Yuxia, Sanli, Dezhao, and Cequan.

Pan Yin came in with a bowl of soup, walked quietly to Liu Bian's side, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I haven't used it for a day, let's have some."

Liu Bian hummed, opened his eyes, glanced out of the window, and said, "From now on, Lu Yu should live in the palace, take good care of him, and don't let anyone bully him."

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

Liu Bian picked up the soup bowl, before he could eat it, he said again: "Order Da Sima's mansion to select some wise men like Da Sima's mansion, and ask Huangfu Song to take care of himself and not to be tired."

Liu Bian remembered very clearly that Huangfusong also died three or four years later.

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

Liu Bian took a bite, but felt he couldn't finish it. After putting it down, he said, "That Guo Jia, order him to enter the Da Sima Mansion as a historian. Chen Qun from Tingwei's Mansion will join the Shangshutai as a historian."

Pan Yin did know about these two people, but this sudden arrangement surprised Pan Yin, and she didn't dare to say anything, "Yes, the villain is going to spread the word."
