Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 163 Write two letters to Emperor Han

Xun You's eyes were dead.

Rarely, Xun You stared at Liu Bian with quite rude eyes, and stared at Liu Bian for a long time.

Liu Bian did not feel that he had made any mistakes, so he calmly wrote another document.

This document naturally praises Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. By the way, he asked the Han Emperor whether he could grant Liu Bei and Zhang Fei a title each... There is no reason to let the cheap father who is far away in Luoyang watch the fire from the other side and wantonly Are they trying to create a wedge between each other, while Liu Bian is just standing by and watching?

Even though Liu Bei's performance just now... was quite ordinary. Liu Bian couldn't see anything unusual at the moment, but he was sure that Liu Bei's heart was not as happy as he appeared on the surface——

Think about it for a moment: Suppose Liu Bian is Liu Bei, and he hears that his second brother has been granted a title, but he gets nothing... Well, he thinks he will be sour - he must eat it!

With a bang, Liu Bian wrote the document again.

Skillfully drying the handwriting, stamping it, and folding it carefully, Liu Bian shook the document and said, "Mr. Xun, could you please send two documents at once?"

Xun You: "..."

Xun You was almost stunned for a while before he realized that His Highness in front of him... was not joking, but serious!
"Your Highness, you...you..." Xun You stared at the document and took a rough look at it. What he saw was "Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are Guan Yu's sworn brothers. Their talents are not inferior to Guan Yu's. Why?" Instead of making Liu Bei and Zhang Fei a marquis, it would be a good story if the three sworn brothers were made a marquis together."

I could see that Xun You was in a mess in the wind.

"Your Highness, do you know that since ancient times, who has not been famous for being a prince? Your Highness! The two people you value are not... Alas! Your Highness, this joke is not funny at all!"

Xun You was about to cry but couldn't imagine how frightening His Majesty's expression would be when he saw this document - speaking of asking for titles for two unknown persons for no apparent reason, was Your Highness afraid that His Majesty would not reject him enough?
Seeing Liu Bian wave his hand, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Mr. Marquis is a title, so it won't be a big deal if we grant two more titles? What's more, I only proposed, and I don't insist on granting the title of marquis to two people?"

The diaphragm should be responded to by the Emperor of Han, and he would be able to vent his anger!

Across thousands of mountains and rivers, if the Han Emperor dared to cause trouble for him, then he should reciprocate politely and not have to suffer any injustice?

Xun You: "..."

Silently, Xun You watched Liu Bian, as if to see a flower on Liu Bian's face.

Liu Bian raised his head, smiled openly, and let Xun You look at him.

Xun You looked at it for a long time before looking away and sighed: "Your Highness! Don't you regret it?"

As soon as this letter was sent to His Majesty, it simply showed that Liu Bian... was quite dissatisfied with His Majesty?

Even if Liu Bian is the eldest son of His Majesty, this is...

"Regret? Regret for what?" Liu Bian shrugged and said bluntly, "When I came to Bohai County, I had no intention of reconciling with my father... You should also know that I and my father My father and I don't get along well with each other, and the child that my father always values ​​​​is my half-brother, not me!

Moreover, you understand why my father doesn’t want to see me..."

Yes!This is very clear: Queen He poisoned His Majesty’s favorite Beauty Wang, and Beauty Wang is Liu Xie’s biological mother... In addition, the general is a relative and has good relations with the ministers in the court. Isn’t this a taboo against His Majesty? ?
Xun You rubbed his nose, only to feel a numbness in his scalp: If you continue to listen, are you going to fall into the vortex of "the struggle for the throne"?This is too bad!Listen to His Highness, does His Highness have any other plans?

So does this mean...means that His Highness actually doesn't want to rely on Queen He and the General?
——Xun You thinks: Today the Han Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, not to mention external troubles, only internal troubles, all caused by the emperor!
If the emperor loved his virtuous ministers and stayed away from villains, there would be no situation where the eunuchs would extort excessive taxes and make the people miserable!However, the emperor favored the eunuchs and alienated the loyal ministers. This and this... alas!

Perhaps, relatives should not be ignored either.

It's just that at present, compared with eunuchs, relatives are not so prominent——

After all, General He Jin, with his heart towards the loyal ministers, is willing to fight against the hateful officials with the ministers, but...

However, because His Majesty valued the eunuchs and treated them favorably, the ministers were helpless against the eunuchs!

Xun You was fortunate enough to be recruited by the general, and he was recruited by name. Although he was flattered, he also made up his mind to help the general and his highness supported by the general to ascend to the highest position. He originally thought that his highness should be with the general. The generals are of the same mind, and although the general is a relative, he values ​​the opinions of the aristocratic families, so he can still help... But looking at it now, something doesn't seem right?

Your Highness, it seems that he is not as dependent on the general as Xun You imagined?

At least when Xun You got along with His Highness, His Highness never mentioned the General and Queen He on his own initiative. It was all Xun You who said... Under normal circumstances, His Highness should not win over his influence in Luoyang and use Xun You as a medium. Do you frequently contact the General and Queen He?

It can be seen from this that His Highness is not interested in returning to Luoyang?
Why not? ——Is it possible that His Highness is interested in Bohai County...

Xun You thought for no reason: Bohai County was originally affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and was sent by the adopted sons of the ten permanent servants to pay various taxes every year. As a result, Bohai County was in a very bad situation, comparable to those in the shabby areas. small town!However, since His Highness took charge of Bohai County, Bohai County has taken on a completely new look within just a few months!
To put it bluntly: If Bohai County's heritage were longer, it might not be worse than Luoyang City!
What's even better is: Bohai County is not as complicated as the situation in Luoyang. It is indeed very suitable for... starting over?

Xun You's eyes flashed, his heartbeat quickened, and he keenly believed that he was not wrong.

Otherwise, who can explain His Highness's every move?

Of all the princes who were demoted to remote places by His Majesty, who would not live in a corner?Looking at His Highness, it is not the case:
His Highness sent people to build roads and houses, recaptured the Yellow Turban bandits, led the refugees and common people to reclaim fields, expand kilns, farm vigorously, sell ceramics, and encouraged everyone to open wine shops, medicine shops, shops, etc., and also settled here. ...If you say it's a corner, that's too unreasonable, isn't it?
Don't you think His Royal Highness is more serious about governing counties and counties and displaying his ambitions?

In addition, no matter how much Your Majesty dislikes His Highness, His Highness is also His Majesty’s eldest son and the best candidate to inherit the throne. His Majesty cannot be willful... As long as Your Highness is patient enough, he may not be able to wait until his ascension to the throne goes smoothly——

Furthermore, His Majesty is now in his prime, let His Highness grow up for a few more years, with His Highness's talents, maybe His Highness can make Bohai County a capital that is not inferior to Luoyang?

Xun You took a breath, and the more he thought about it, the smoother it became.

That's right!
His Highness probably thinks so!
No wonder His Highness has no intention of returning to Luoyang!

...Liu Bian never expected that with his few insignificant words, Xun You would guess most of his ideas.

"Your Highness, do you need a moment of rest?"

At this time, Gongsun Yue's voice sounded outside the door.

Liu Bian rubbed his forehead: He didn't need to explain aloud first, he already knew that Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan had settled the 500-man team and returned to the team.

"When?" Liu Bian asked.

"It's time to report back to Your Highness." This time, the person who got him back was Gongsun Fan.

"No rest." Liu Bian stood up, "I am going out to the long-distance running competition."

"Here." The guards responded.

Liu Bian paused and said to Xun You: "Mr. Xun, thank you for your hard work! What do you plan to do...?"

Xun You said: "If Your Highness will not give up, please allow me to follow you."

Ok?
Xun You also wants to watch "Winter Long Distance Running"?

"Okay! Just follow Mr. Xun." Liu Bian didn't think much and waved to Xun You, "Just follow me!"

Then, Liu Bian temporarily put down the paperwork and took Xun You out of the house in a carriage.

With a bang, Liu Bian and Xun You, plus ten guards, came to the evaluator's seat again after a long absence.

Liu Bian and his party arrived late.

At that time, the arena was quite deserted, the competition had obviously begun, and the contestants were running out of sight again. "Are you here?" Liu Bian showed a hint of surprise. He looked around at the people saluting, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He immediately noticed that one person was missing, "Where is Qing Chang? Nanpi County people are here where?"

Cao Cao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a long time, Cao Cao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Chief Qing has gone to interrogate Bi Huahua."

Bi... Bi Hua Hua?

Who is it?

Liu Bian was confused for a moment, then he remembered the person and said dryly: "So you are interrogating someone?... Mr. Qingchang is really busy!"

The last sentence made Cao Cao and others look over: Your Highness, Your Highness, are you cheating on us when you say we are not busy?
As if he realized the slip of the tongue, Liu Bian calmly changed the subject and said: "Speaking of interrogation, is that guy Bi Huahua imprisoned in Nanpi Prison? - I have never set foot in the prison since I came back, so why not..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao and others all changed their faces and said in unison:

"My lord! No!"

"Your Highness! No!"

Cao Cao said: "My lord, dark places like dungeons are really not places you should step into, my lord!"

Yuan Shao also said: "Your Highness, why do you need you to interrogate people? The Nanpi County Magistrate will ask questions on his own -"

Yuan Shu followed: "Your Highness, you are of high status, how can you be in prison? Even in front of a cell, it is inappropriate!"

Liu Bian said on behalf of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Your Highness, please think twice before doing this. You shouldn't mess with me!"

Liu Bian: "..."

The corner of Liu Bian's mouth twitched, what else could Liu Bian say? ——"Since you are all opposed, then I have no choice but to give up this decision!" He changed his words lightly, happy that everyone no longer stuck to his slip of the tongue.

Afterwards, Liu Bian and his party sat patiently at the seats, waiting for the arrival of the contestants.

The contestants arrived as scheduled.

As usual, all the contestants were so tired that they bent over and gasped for air. After recovering their physical strength, they took back their respective cotton uniforms from the temporary cavalry and put them on quickly to avoid unnecessary fatigue. Chilly.

If it really gets cold, then it’s not worth it... No, no, no!A good deal, a good deal!

The announcement said: Also!
"In addition, all winter long-distance runners and those who follow winter competitions can receive three meals a day. If they encounter illness, injury or other unexpected events, they can receive free treatment until they recover!"

All the contestants: Bah, bah!
It’s really worth participating in this “Winter Long Distance Run”!

Even if you are sick or injured, no one is afraid!
There is free treatment!It can also be treated until it is cured...this is great!
What's a pity is that all the participants who can run long-distance are in good health, so there is no question of whether they will get sick or not.

Everyone: "..."

ahaha~
That's all, that's all!
Have a meal!rest!
The contestants lined up unconsciously and left one after another.

It should be going to the dining room.

After sighing with relief, Liu Bian looked to Cao Cao and others and concluded: "The day is finally coming to an end! You will arrange the contestants in a row later and give out all the rewards..."

He opened his mouth, but Liu Bian closed it again.

The reason is ridiculous: just now, Liu Bian almost reported "Shiyue"!

With lightning and thunder, Liu Bian remembered that Shi Yue was not present and stopped talking again.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

After clearing his throat, Liu Bian announced: "Let Magistrate Cao take charge of this matter? How about that?"

Cao Cao was extremely excited and responded: "I will live up to His Highness's expectations!"

Gearing up, Cao Cao called for the recorder to record the performance of all contestants!
The recorder was flattered and quickly handed over the "record book" for Cao Cao to look through.

Cao Cao happily checked this "record book" with great interest.

I think in the short term, Liu Bian will not be able to wake up Cao Cao... Forget it, just follow Cao Cao!
Clapping his hands, Liu Bian said: "Hold on these days, it will come to an end soon... Before it comes to an end, I would like to remind you: Don't let your guard down, do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone responded.

"Very good!" Liu Bian waved his hand, "I'm not going to the dining room... I'm going back to the mansion first!"

Everyone: "..."

In this way, everything went smoothly during the remaining days of the "Winter Long-distance Running", and no further troubles occurred: after more than a month of running, the people of Nanpi County had greatly improved their physical fitness and became qualified as ordinary soldiers!
During this period, Xun You took two documents from Liu Bian and a team of 490 people, bid farewell to Nanpi County, and rushed back to Luoyang with all his strength.

Xun You left Xu Fu——

Regrettably: Liu Bian was not free yet and could not meet Xu Fu!
Fortunately: Liu Bian insisted on attending the long-distance running competitions, and his presence was as expected, making the people of Nanpi County remember Liu Bian's face!
If Liu Bian walked alone in Nanpi County, he would be warmly received by the people of Nanpi County——

Unfortunately, the probability is not high!
Not only Cao Cao and others, but also the guards would not allow His Highness to go out alone.

By the way, Liu Bian has not seen Shi Yue for several days.

On this day, Liu Bian was reviewing documents when he suddenly heard He Xian say:
"Your Highness! The magistrate of Nanpi County wants to see you!"

"Okay!" Liu Bian said, "Bring the person to me."

Then, Shi Yue was brought to Liu Bian by He Xian.

Liu Bian was surprised to see Shi Yue's face looking very ugly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Bian spoke first.

"Your Highness! Something bad has happened!" Shi Yue cupped his hands and spoke quickly, "The prisoner Bi Huahua wants to see you, Your Highness!"

"Huh?" Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is Bi Huahua...uh!"

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian almost forgot Bi Huahua's identity again... He lightly pressed the case, and Liu Bian said: "Why do you want to see me? - Can you see me?"

Shi Yue pursed his lips, and said coldly: "Your Highness, it's Bi Huahua who has been making a scene in the prison, saying that Nanpi County will be in crisis if he doesn't see you, Your Highness..."

"What crisis?" Liu Bian asked angrily.
