Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 160 It turns out that it was all false

After thinking for a while, Liu Bianfang said: "Mr. Xun, you mean...that guy's words are all lies? ——Father didn't intend to escort me back to Luoyang at all?
Father...Father doesn't know what I did in Nanpi County, right? "

Xun You was stunned for a moment, then curled up his lips and asked, "Your Highness, do you think His Majesty is not clear about your actions in Nanpi County? - Your Highness, what are you planning to do in Nanpi County?"

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian hated him for talking too much just now.

Why ask irrelevant questions?
Seemingly understanding his depression, Xun You said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. It is true that His Highness will not escort you back to Luoyang. As for your actions in Nanpi County...does Your Majesty know a little bit about it?"

"Ah?" Liu Bian's heart was twitching, and he was nervous for a moment, then thought: Huh?Why am I nervous? ——I didn’t raise troops to rebel in Nanpi County? ...At most I can only hold the "Winter Long Distance Running" competition in Nanpi County?

The purpose is to exercise the physical fitness of the people in Nanpi County, make full use of the opportunity of the cold winter, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in Nanpi County, so as to prevent them from sitting at home all day long and living in vain.

Even in winter, the common people still have work to do. For example, women mostly make "nvhong", needlework, weaving, embroidery, sewing, etc., sewing clothes, collecting shoe soles, and many others; men ride horses, shoot arrows, and work diligently. For training, either studying hard or traveling...

In fact, isn’t what he is promoting normal?
Can't we deny these customs just because Nanpi County, and the entire Bohai County, was once similar to Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou in the north, all of which were troubled by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which caused the people to be displaced for several years?
During the Western Han Dynasty, due to the "unity of soldiers and farmers", the imperial court encouraged people to practice archery during their winter leisure time and taught them how to deal with the enemy!As a result, the practice of practicing swordsmanship gradually emerged...

And all he did was expand the scope of practice, from individuals to the entire group... Why did he harbor rebellion? !
Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian grimaced and asked, "Did you go through too much trouble?"Ahaha~

After laughing twice, Liu Bian said casually: "How does your father know my every move?"

After saying that, he closed his mouth.

His first reaction: Could it be that the second uncle He Miao wrote letters to Luoyang regularly, which led to...?
Do not!
If the second uncle He Miao's letter would leak information, wouldn't it be easier for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, as children of the Yuan family, to fall prey to the trap? ——After all, ministers from the Yuan family are among the most influential in the court, right?
He was surprised and confused, but he heard Xun You say: "Not long ago, I had the honor to meet Your Majesty several times, and I told Your Majesty several of His Majesty's measures in Bohai County... Your Majesty was very surprised after hearing this?"

Liu Bian: "..."

Oh, the case is solved!Is this what you said, Mr. Xun?

Is your father surprised?

He was a little speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say - he didn't dare to ask Xun You face to face, asking Xun You about his father's impression of him and whether it had changed... I guess he didn't have anything good to say.

As long as the queen mother is Empress He, and the uncle is General He Jin, and wants to win over the ministers of the court... Liu Bian, he can't expect to be cheap. Not to mention, the cheap father doesn't have much affection for his relatives, does he?

But Xun You waved the secret decree in his hand... Ah~ No!It was a letter from home, saying: "Your Highness, would you like to read it too?"

Xun You handed the letter from home that almost caused trouble to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian took a closer look and saw that the content of this family letter was quite shameful: Bi Lan, the official servant of the Central Military Commission, told his adopted son Bi Huahua to get more money, the more the better - Bi Lan also said that His Majesty was extremely short of money, and Bohai County happened to have it. Money, Bi Huahua better go to Bohai County to explore, there may be unexpected gains!

To sum up: That old guy Bi Lan dared to instigate Bi Huahua to openly plunder the people's wealth, and also used His Majesty as a cover to target Bohai County!

Is this an accident or premeditated?
His eyes flashed slightly, and Liu Bian said: "The letter says that my father is extremely short of money? Is it really because of the "Refugee City"? "

"...Refugee City?" Everyone present looked at him with suspicion.

Liu Bian recounted seriously: "I heard that this winter was very cold, and Luoyang City unfortunately suffered a lot of cold attacks! Countless people were frozen and homeless, and eventually flocked to Luoyang City, as many as tens of thousands!
The father was concerned about the safety of the refugees and could not bear to drive them away, so he built a "Refugee City" near Luoyang City for the refugees to stay temporarily——

Nowadays, the number of refugees is so large that Luoyang city alone cannot provide a large amount of supplies!
Therefore, my father is extremely short of money..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bian saw Xun You gasping and smacking his tongue: "Your Highness, who did you hear this from?!"

After pouting, Liu Biannu turned to Bi Huahua, who was pretending to be dead, and said accurately, "Mr. Bi said that."

"Mr. Bi? - What kind of gentleman is this man?" Xun You's face was full of sarcasm. He had not yet suffered the pain of prison, and he still had the guts to speak out when he had something to say. He exposed Bi Huahua's lies on the spot, "Your Highness, don't be fooled. This person was deceived!... Everything in Luoyang City remains as before, there aren't many refugees at all! Let alone a "Refugee City".

I didn’t expect that this guy can actually make up stuff, right? ——You are so courageous that you dare to deceive Your Highness!Your Highness, have you not been deceived?Don’t you believe the other party?Don't be too cheap on that guy! "

After saying this, Xun You glanced at Bi Huahua coldly.

Bi Huahua shrank her neck and didn't dare to say anything, especially when she was tied up.

Hearing this, Liu Bian said happily: "Really? - So, is it true that my father ordered all the county guards and magistrates to donate materials and food to Luoyang City? In addition, the prefectures and counties in the north are under the supervision of Zhongchang. Is Yi Bilan responsible?"

Xun You was trembling all over, angry, and loudly shouted: "That's nonsense! Your Highness! Your Majesty has not drafted an order at all to call on county governors and magistrates to donate supplies and food to Luoyang City! ... Moreover, all the states and counties in the north are composed of The state shepherds and county guards in the north are in charge, and they have nothing to do with Bi Changshi!"

Liu Bian opened his eyes wide in time, with a look of shock on his face.

Xun You took a breath and said again: "Your Highness! I am not talking about Youzhou, Bingzhou and Qingzhou, only Jizhou... Although Jizhou has calmed down the Yellow Turbans, there are still small groups of Yellow Turbans in some parts of the country, so The highest official in Jizhou is undoubtedly your highness, the governor of Bohai!
The rest of the county governors in Jizhou have either escaped or died. Only your highness, the new governor, is still alive...cough!I mean, your highness, the new governor, is the only one with great prestige!
Therefore, the refugees in Jizhou should move to Nanpi County as much as possible if they can... At the same time, this is one of the main reasons why Nanpi County has the largest population in Bohai County!

Therefore, the governance of states and counties in the north has something to do with His Highness, but has nothing to do with Bi Lan! "

Liu Bian: "..."

Now, Liu Bian really didn't need to pretend to be shocked.

Ever since Xun You said "The prefect of Bohai is the highest official in Jizhou", his mouth has not closed.

After a moment of silence, Liu Bian looked at Xun You blankly, his mind going blank: He, he, he...is he the "Lord of Jizhou"? ——Although he does not hold the position of "Jizhou Mu", he still has the actual power to govern Jizhou?

This, this, this... seems like a dream!It’s so unreal!

Inexplicably, he suddenly transformed into one of the most important people in Jizhou... He didn't even think about it!

Why is he so powerful?

It's obvious that he just stays in the mansion all day and night processing paperwork!
After calming down, Liu Bian said humbly: "Mr. Xun, you overestimate me... I am just a small Bohai prefect and cannot take on the important responsibilities you mentioned, Mr. Xun."

"Only you, Your Highness, know whether it is yes or no." Xun You's eyes curled up, indicating something.

Liu Bian finally felt his face heating up.

He was already sure: after Cao Cao, Xun You also saw his goal!
"——It seems that Mr. Bi is really a liar. What he said was all false!" Liu Bian cleared his throat, turned to Bi Huahua, and asked coldly, "Bi... Bi Huahua, you Can you know the crime?"

Bi Huahua was stunned for a moment, and then he actually thought about asking a question, and asked: "What if you know the crime, but what if you don't know the crime?"

Liu Bian said rudely: "Originally, your crime was not punishable by death! According to my method, you will be punished with hard labor until you die! But you dare to attack the court officials, which is intolerable!
You are on the run from death penalty!

If you know the crime, you should be punished according to the criminal law!But before you die, I will write a memorial and send someone to Luoyang City to explain the situation!After that, I will execute you again!
Those who do not know the crime will be beheaded on the spot! "

The implication: the former is a delayed death, there is a chance that you will not die; the latter is an absolute death penalty, immediate death!

Under normal circumstances, people would choose the former, but for Bi Huahua, it was not the case - Bi Huahua shouted: "Let me go! Let me go quickly! I advise you to let me go! Otherwise you will definitely I will regret it!”

"Hmph!" Liu Bian snorted coldly, "Why do I regret this?"

"..." Bi Huahua stopped talking.

Liu Bian didn't have the patience to wait for Bi Huahua to explain honestly.

He still remembered that the "Winter Long Distance Run" was still going on, and he could not waste any more time... He said to Shi Yue: "Magistrate Shi, please send someone to put these desperadoes into prison and keep them under strict supervision! Deal with it later!”

"Here!" Shi Yue cupped his hands and waved his hand, "Come here, you two! Take him to jail!"

Then two guards came forward and dragged the tied prisoners away.

Afterwards, Shi Yue also left temporarily.

——Although Liu Bian returned to Nanpi County from Youzhou and had not visited the prison in Nanpi, presumably the prison in Nanpi should be similar to his Prince Bohai's residence. It should be big, tight and strong?

Is it more than enough to hold that group of prisoners?

After touching his nose, Liu Bian ordered everyone to clean up the surrounding area, making sure that no one could tell that a battle was taking place here... As for Xun You and his team of 500 people, Liu Bian wanted to send He Bai to arrange for them to move in. Guests at Bohai Prince's Mansion——But!
However, he was rejected by Xun You.

Xun You was obviously aroused by the "winter long-distance running" organized by Liu Bian, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, can't the old man act as a guard and follow His Highness?"

Liu Bian thought for a while: It makes sense?

Then, Liu Bian relented and agreed that Xun You should stand behind him, while the team of 500 people was broken up and stood scattered in various corners, serving as patrol cavalry.

No one is afraid of the battle just now, everyone is calm and composed.

After a while, He Miao returned, and everyone restored the venue to a competition ground, making it hard for people to find fault.

"That's great!" Liu Bian patted his chest and said to He Miao, "Can you please make one more trip to guide the contestants? You can come back now."

"Dare you disobey me?" He Miao said.

He kept informing people again.

After a while, Shi Yue also returned, and ordered someone to prepare an extra table and chairs.

"Please sit down." Shi Yue said to Xun You.

Xun You blinked.

Xun You looked at Liu Bian.

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Mr. Xun, just sit down!"

Xun You cupped his hands and sat down as instructed.

What a coincidence!Xun You sat between Shi Yue and Cao Cao.

Xun You was not restrained, and said, "Mr. Shi, Mr. Cao, long time no see? What are you doing?"

...Come on, Shi Yue and Cao Cao simply chatted with Xun You.

On the side, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei remained silent.

As for Zhang Yan, she disappeared into the crowd again and could not be found.

Liu Bian waited patiently for a long time, and finally heard the sound of running in the distance.

coming!

Liu Bian braced himself and looked around, and saw several small black spots appearing in the distance.

At the same time, Cao Cao and others also calmed down and looked over in unison.

But I saw that the small black dots on the playing field moved from far to near, and turned into four contestants, running and sweating profusely. They were running until they were out of breath and their facial features were distorted.

"The qualifications of these runners are average." Cao Cao commented in a low voice.

"Why do you make such an evaluation?" Xun You asked curiously.

Cao Cao said: "I recognize these four faces. The four people ran very fast two days ago, but then they ran out of energy and didn't have the strength to come back... These four people have strong explosive power, but it's a pity that their endurance is not good! Besides, Didn’t we let the contestants take a detour before? It was enough for the other party to rest!”

Xun You: "..."

After the four regained their strength, did they sprint in one go?
Shaking his head, Liu Bian stopped thinking about it, and instead ordered the guards to take care of the contestants as usual, and then send the contestants to the dining room for dinner later.

The contestants didn't think much of it either—

Thanks to the long-distance running competition during this period, everyone's expectation and gathering for this sport have changed to the situation where the families of the contestants are not outside the competition venue every day to greet their men at any time...

Fortunately, there are no family members of the contestants today.

Otherwise, Liu Bian Shao would have to make up a statement to unify the caliber.

"While everyone is hot, take everyone to the dining room quickly." Liu Bian said.

Then, the contestants, wearing not too thick clothes, lined up to go to the dining room.

The movements were so skillful that they seemed to have been performed many times.

Xun You's eyes lit up when he saw it, he touched his palms and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful."

"Mr. Xun, are you hungry?" Liu Bian asked, "Go to the dining room first, or go back to the mansion?"

Xun You said: "The canteen? What is the canteen? Let's go to the canteen first?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Bian thought to himself: I guessed it!

With a wave of his hand, Liu Bian said: "Let's go! Let's go to the dining room!"

The chefs have to work hard again.

Liu Bian and his party headed to the dining room in a mighty manner.

As for the playing field, it was unremarkable, no different from before...
