Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 174 I decided not to return

Liu Bian pursed his lips and looked at Xun You suspiciously. Even if he had thousands of words, he could only condense them into one sentence at this moment, asking for proof: "You... really know what it means for my king to act according to your suggestion. ?"

Xun You suppressed his perfunctory words, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Clear! Very clear! Gongda originally thought that Gongda had a lot of abilities, and if he could work for the emperor's family, he would be able to realize his ambitions and ideals! However, Gongda compared His Majesty with His Majesty and found that His Majesty was not inferior to His Majesty——

If it had been left in the past, Gongda would have obeyed the orders of His Majesty, the Queen and the General, persuaded His Highness to return to Luoyang... However, now, Gongda came all the way from Luoyang to Nanpi, and what he saw, heard and felt strengthened his belief, "Your Highness." "It's better not to return to Luoyang City"!
However, if His Highness does not want to have disputes with His Majesty, the Empress, and the General, it is best to politely decline. "

So, here comes the question: How to refuse? ——Is it possible that the fake act was really done and that one was really injured and disabled?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu Bian humbly asked for advice: "What good advice does Mr. Gongda have?"

Xun You cupped his hands and said: "A good plan should not be followed. If we talk about delaying it... Your Highness can order people to spread rumors. Just say that Your Highness accepts His Majesty's edict and rushes back to Luoyang from Nanpi to attend the "ancestral worship". Dadian, I don’t want to go back to the emergency department of Nanpi County when I got sick after only two days of departure——

Your Highness, think about it, Nanpi is a long way from Luoyang. Unless we hurry up, we won't be able to get back in a while!It is reasonable for His Highness to encounter any unexpected situations on the way... No, no, no!According to His Majesty's thoughts, Your Majesty thinks it is incredible that Your Highness can return to Luoyang safely? "

"W-what do you mean?" Liu Bian frowned: after listening to the first half of the sentence, he still felt that Xun You had the same idea as his original idea, but after listening to the second part... the cheap father would hurt him?
is it possible?

If it were Empress Dowager Dong, would he still believe it a little bit?
However, as the emperor's grandson, if Mrs. Dong despises him, she won't really want to kill him, will she?
Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian inexplicably remembered Xia Yun.

Holding his forehead, Liu Bian's thoughts were slightly confused: It was all Xun You's fault. His words were too alarmist, making him think that no matter who he was, he felt that the other party wanted to harm him - did he suffer from the typical victim of "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me" Paranoia?

Liu Bian was amused by this cold humor.

In his ears, he heard Xun You say: "Your Highness, if you are determined to disobey His Majesty's will, you should not take any chances. Otherwise, not only you will be destroyed, but also all the confidants who follow Your Highness." .”

After hearing this, Liu Bian's heart tightened.

With his hands clenched into fists, Liu Bian said: "Mr. Gongda, don't think bad things about everything! According to you, except for me or my close confidants, are all others enemies? Including my mother. , uncle and..."

Liu Bian pursed his lips and said no more.

Xun You said calmly: "Yes, including the ministers in the court."

"you--"

Liu Bian stared at Xun You, angry, feeling that Xun You was a good player even with his hatred value!
Look!If he believed in Xun You, would he become an enemy of the entire Old Han Dynasty?
it is ridiculous!

Shaking his head, Liu Bian did not dare to agree, and said seriously: "Mr. Gongda, you are too extreme! It's just a matter of resisting the decree and not returning to Luoyang to participate in ancestor worship. What does this count? - Father's formal edict is considered ordinary. It's just a greeting... Although the letter from home contains strong words, it is still a letter from home. It shows that my father still has a bottom line and does not want to be hostile to me!
The same goes for the queen mother and the uncle, who use words with deep affection and will never hurt me... I am very clear about this.

Therefore, it is all fallacy to be an enemy to anyone!Mr. Gongda is the radical one, he really shouldn’t go all the way to the dark side! "

——Xun You, if you really go all the way to the dark side, then don’t drag me along!

I have a father and a mother, but I don't have one... yet, but I have my own concerns, so I can't act recklessly!

Simply refusing to return to your hometown to worship your ancestors does not need to be taken seriously!

Liu Bian cleared his throat, and said again: "According to this king's idea, this king still wants to ask Mr. Gongda to go to Luoyang for the last time, saying that the king of Bohai knows that the emperor's order cannot be violated. It’s time to think about returning to Luoyang! Although ancestor worship cannot be carried out in Luoyang, it can still be done in Nanpi County, Bohai Sea?"

As he said this, the more Liu Bian thought about it, the more sense he made. He patted his head, quickly wrote a letter, and then wrote another letter. Full of affection and touching words, he firmly rejected his father's kindness and asked his father for help. The emperor conveyed his feelings to his mother, and asked his father to persuade his mother well. He must not let his mother bring anyone to Nanpi County... That would cause a joke!
After writing, Liu Bian dried the handwriting in a familiar manner, stamped it with a seal and handed it to Xun You. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xun You staring at him with dead fish eyes, which made him feel hairy all over.

What, what's wrong?
He asked: "Mr. Gongda, you don't seem to be happy?"

Xun You swept away his previous sense of alienation and said bluntly: "Your Highness, have you ever considered for Yima?!"

"Ah?" Liu Bian was confused.

Xun You was angry and said angrily: "Your Highness! If Gongda sends your letter home to Luoyang, Gongda will inevitably go back to Nanpi to deliver the letter! After that, His Highness will send another letter... If this continues, Gongda will have nothing to do. It’s time to exercise, but Yima can’t bear it!

If the horse is whipped too many times, does Your Highness know how many horses will be exhausted? "

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian was embarrassed: It's embarrassing for you to think about Yima!Then he asked:

"What are you going to do? Send someone else to deliver the message?"

Xun You bared his teeth and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. The general gave me some carrier pigeons before. Can we use carrier pigeons to communicate with Luoyang City? - In this way, I don't have to... cough! I mean, reply like this Faster!
Your Highness, those pigeons were specially bred by the general, and they can fly back to Luoyang in just half a day!You can also accurately find the General’s Mansion! "

Liu Bian opened his mouth, what else could he say? ——"There are homing pigeons? It's amazing! It's so useful!" Liu Bian smiled dryly, "Where is the homing pigeon? Can you open my eyes?"

He was quite curious. Could homing pigeons really deliver letters?
Xun You rolled his eyes and waved, "Your Highness, please follow me."

After saying this, Xun You led Liu Bian out of the study, and then...

Then, Liu Bian's curiosity came to an abrupt end.

Outside the study room, almost all the Bohai County officials were present... It should be said:

Everyone was listening in the corner and never left!
"You...you..."

Liu Bian's eyes widened and he pointed at everyone, speechless.

sure?
How dare you eavesdrop without telling me!
Don't want to live? !

Liu Bian first glared sternly at the guards who had lowered their heads in a row. He glared at He Xian, He Bai, He Mu, He He and He Shui. He didn't have time to notice that Cao Ang, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan were also present. , couldn’t help but rebuke:
"What are you doing? Are you trying to ask me to resign?"

Liu Bian criticized the latter sentence very harshly.

"Your Highness, forgive me!" The guards expressed their deep shame.

Cao Cao and others were shocked, and finally felt the signs of His Highness becoming angry... By the way, would His Highness also be angry?

Cao Cao was the first to come to his senses and said loudly:
"Lord! I heard! Are you going back to Luoyang? Can you take me with you? I, Cao Mengde, am willing to protect the lord all the way and never let the lord be harmed in the slightest!"

Huh? !

Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao in surprise, surprised that Cao Cao was telling lies.

When did he say he was going back to Luoyang? ——Why did you listen to the corner... He flicked his sleeves and was about to explain something when he saw Yuan Shu take a step forward and said with certainty:

"Your Highness, have you forgotten to discuss the establishment of Nanpi County Academy again? You can't just leave this matter behind because of your busy schedule? I, Yuan Gongli, also want to have a taste of being a mentor and mentoring? "

Liu Bian touched his nose and felt a little guilty: Ashamed, ashamed!I seem to have really forgotten.

At the same time, all Bohai County officials, such as Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shi Yue, Zhang Yan, He Miao, Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, Jushou and Tian Feng, said in unison:

"Your Highness, if you return to Luoyang, can you take us with you?

We will defend His Highness to the death!Don't let His Highness encounter any danger! "

The neatness and unity of the voices made Liu Bian speechless.Liu Bian immediately forgot about everyone's fault for listening to the corner, and raised his voice: "Nonsense! When did I say that I was going back to Luoyang? - Let me tell you, I am not going back!"
I have decided not to return to Luoyang!
This king is about to "sacrifice his ancestors" in Nanpi County!Do you have any comments? "

Liu Bian silently looked around at the crowd, and saw that everyone was startled for a moment, then became ecstatic and said happily:

"Really? That's great! At first, I was worried about His Highness going back to Luoyang City. I will be so anxious and depressed when he never returns to Nanpi City!" "Isn't it? Although the capital of Luoyang is good, our Nanpi City is also good. No worse than Luoyang! Anyway, it lacks decades of foundation!" "Ha! What decades, it's clearly hundreds of years, okay?"

"It seems that His Highness is really going to settle in Nanpi County? Well, I should also consider moving my wife and children to Nanpi County for a long time..." "That's right, we can't let our wife and children wander around all the time, otherwise we won't be able to give birth to a daughter. "Hey! It's good for you two, you are already married and have children, but why am I still without a place to live?"

"Third brother!!"

"I, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

...Everyone was chirping, but Liu Bian couldn't laugh or cry.

Waving his hands, Liu Bian said: "Spread out, spread out. What are you doing here? Don't you want to take a bath? Why don't you take care of the trivial matters at hand?"

After a slight scolding, everyone finally dispersed and ran away, leaving Xun You and Yuan Shu alone.

Liu Bian glanced at Xun You and then at Yuan Shao: Liu Bian understood that Xun You had not left; but looking at Yuan Shu... "Xiu County Magistrate, are you okay?" Liu Bian asked.

Yuan Shu cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, "Nanpi Academy"...? "

Yuan Shu didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.

Sighing, Liu Bian said: "This is the king's negligence! Well, just call Mr. Cui Yan, Mr. Guoyuan, Mr. Bing Yuan, Mr. Guan Ning and Mr. Sun Qian. We will be in the study later. discuss?"

The implication: Liu Bian has something to do now.

Yuan Shu did not agree, but asked: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"I want to see the carrier pigeons..." Liu Bian blurted out, but then got upset.

Yuan Shu showed curiosity and asked: "Your Highness, can I watch it with you?"

Liu Bian opened his mouth, intending to refuse.

But I heard Yuan Shu say: "Your Highness, don't worry, informing the five gentlemen is really a trivial matter, so don't worry about it."

After saying that, Yuan Shu clapped his hands.

I saw five guards walking out of the corner.

Yuan Shu said to the five guards: "Go quickly and send a message to Mr. Cui Yan, Mr. Guoyuan, Mr. Bing Yuan, Mr. Guan Ning and Mr. Sun Qian, saying that His Highness will discuss the affairs of Nanpi Academy with everyone in the study! "

"Here!" The five guards took the order, turned around and left.

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian was speechless.

Then I heard Yuan Shu say: "Your Highness, please rest assured, these five people are the disciples of my house."

——Now, Yuan Shu doesn't completely hide that he also has corresponding staff?
"How many customers do you have?" Liu Bian asked.

Yuan Shu said: "Not many, just about a hundred people."

Hundreds of people?
Is that still less?

Liu Bian clicked his tongue. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Yuan Shu said: "Your Highness, even though I have a hundred followers, I am far behind County Magistrate Cao."

Ok?
Narrowing his eyes, Liu Bian said: "County Magistrate Cao? - Magistrate Cao also has followers?"

"No." Yuan Shu said quickly, "Although County Magistrate Cao does not keep retainers, he is more exaggerated than retaining retainers! Your Highness, do you know? Magistrate Cao followed the example of Nan County Pi and made the people of Dongguang County run long distances every day. , running for a long time is comparable to training tens of thousands of militiamen in Dongguang County!

That doesn't count!

Your Highness, County Magistrate Cao also privately trained a group of cavalry. Although there are a hundred people, their combat power cannot be underestimated!Given time, if Magistrate Cao has any evil intentions...

Your Highness!Please also ask Your Highness to pay attention to Magistrate Cao. It is best to give Magistrate Cao a few words of warning, lest Magistrate Cao go too far and do something irreparable. "

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian was stunned and asked: "Magistrate Xiu, are you speaking ill of Magistrate Cao behind his back? This is not wise! If you really want to slander, you should whisper it to me, right?"

Yuan Shu was startled, probably not expecting Liu Bian to have such an attitude, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I have always been aboveboard in doing things, so I don't bother to say bad things about people behind their backs! Even if Magistrate Cao is here, I will not change his words. ! I hope His Highness will investigate clearly!"

Liu Bian was speechless, and thought, "Believe it or not, I called Cao Cao to confront you Yuan Shu. I'm curious about your reaction... Cao Cao must have been called here. With Cao Cao's wit and eloquence, I'm afraid it won't take a while. Can Yuan Shu be persuaded?

Tilting his head, Liu Bian thought interestingly.

In fact, Liu Bian was quite tolerant of Cao Cao's every move: not to mention the special training of a cavalry in private, even if Cao Cao really held some long-distance running in Dongguang County, following the example of Nanpi County, he would implement all people in Dongguang County as soldiers... Well, he doesn't feel disgusted either?
On the contrary, he quite expected Cao Cao to succeed.

As for whether Cao Cao would rebel or something... To be honest, he really didn't have much idea.

For some reason, he was sure that Cao Cao would be loyal to him and would never rebel... whatever!It's useless to think too much. Why don't we just find Cao Cao and confront Yuan Shu?

With his eyes shining, Liu Bian said: "Here, go and ask for Magistrate Mengde."

"Here!" This time, it was Cao Ang's turn to actively recommend himself.

Liu Bian did not object and allowed Cao Ang to go find Cao Cao.

Liu Bian said to Yuan Shu: "Since you are so confident, then I will help you and let you debate with Cao Cao! If you find out what is wrong with Cao Cao, I will punish Cao Cao severely and reward you. How about it?"

Yuan Shu was stunned.

On the side, Xun You watched the play for a long time, and finally said: "Your Highness, do you still watch carrier pigeons?"

"Look and see! Of course!" Liu Bian waved his hand, "Not yet leading the way."

Xun You took Zhen Liu Bian to see the carrier pigeons.

Later, Liu Bian saw a person.
