Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 178 Passing Letters with Flying Pigeon, Emperor Han

Write, write, Liu Bian writes blankly, not writing for a long time.

What should I say?
His mind went blank and he really didn't know how to write.

Although the letters written by his father, the Han Emperor, were very explosive and made him quite angry, he was still thousands of miles away from the Han Emperor in Luoyang. Therefore, Liu Bian was angry for a while and then returned to his normal state of mind: Anyway, the Han Emperor No matter how dissatisfied the emperor was with him, he would not take it to heart, let alone that he would not return to Luoyang, so why should he be angry?

As long as he doesn't go back, he doesn't have to scheming and has to take into account Emperor Han's mood... Whether Emperor Han is happy or angry, what does it have to do with him?Anyway, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty should not make any trouble and send him some documents, just transfer him from Bohai County.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Emperor Han had water in his head, and transferring him away suddenly would be too harsh on him.

Therefore, as long as he was still in Bohai County, it was okay for the Han Emperor to scold him.

He really doesn't care!but……

But how should he reply? ——Under normal circumstances, facing the last abusive letter from the Han Emperor, as a son, he would either write a painful letter of self-reflection and reflect on what he had done wrong. He should agree to the Han Emperor's suggestion and return to Luoyang. Attend the "ancestor worship" ceremony; or speak fiercely and directly retaliate!
Anyway, this is a family letter, a private matter between him and the Han Emperor. Even if the Han Emperor was really angry and wanted to send someone to capture him, he would still have to set off from Luoyang and work hard for several days to reach Nanpi... But, if he really wanted to come to Nanpi If the county arrests him, it has to ask the Nanpi County militia whether they agree!
Xi Tan really thought that by then, he would probably become an enemy of the Han Emperor and even the entire Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he really relied on Tiangao Emperor Yuan's thoughts, and really didn't take Emperor Han seriously?
...It won’t happen, it won’t happen.

Touching his nose, Liu Bian silently lamented that he was so heartless that he dared to challenge the Han Emperor.

However, no matter how much he despised the Han Emperor, he did not dare to express it outright... He did not want to seek death!Some words and some thoughts should only be thought about in your heart. It is not good to say them out!
As the Han Emperor said, in any case, the letter was first flown to General He's Mansion, and then General He Jin delivered the letter to the Han Emperor in Luoyang Palace... During this period, no matter how He Jin defended the letter, it was not read. Do you think the Han Emperor didn't believe a word of it?

After all, the Han Emperor was wary and fearful of He Jin, a relative.

Therefore, as long as He Jin sets an example, the Han Emperor will pay more attention to the group of eunuchs, that is, the Ten Constant Attendants... Oh~ No!Is it the Qichangshi?It’s an endless loop!

--wrong!
Liu Bian patted his head, and then consciously remembered that there was another prisoner named Bi Huahua in Nanpi County. Together with his adoptive father Bi Lan, one of the ten permanent servants, he was still roaming in Luoyang. Do you want to pass this time... …?
Thinking of this, Liu Bian's mouth twitched and he sighed inexplicably: Does he look like a player? Is he using remote micro-management to defeat monsters? ——Fight a group of elite monsters named Shi Changshi?
puff~
He was amused by this joke-like comparison.

He knew how to reply.

"To my father:

After reading the first letter written by his father to his son, he burst into tears. He was so sad!

This is an unfilial son. I cannot return to Luoyang to accompany you and your mother on this day of ancestor worship. Please forgive me!It is true that Bohai County is too far away from Luoyang. No matter how hard my son hurries, he will not be able to get back to Luoyang in time. At the same time, the adopted son of Bi Lan, who is also a regular attendant, is imprisoned in the Nanpi County Prison. I am very worried. When we come back, will Bi Lan take the opportunity to cause trouble?
Bi Lan's adopted son is still in prison here!If you hadn't allowed it, father, I would have killed this person!
In addition, my son did not like to see the eunuchs whom his father trusted!As far away as Nanpi County, I heard a lot of rumors about the eunuchs, most of which were bad. And these eunuchs always used their adopted sons to tyrannize in various counties and counties, which really inspired people's morale. It’s hard to calm down!Father, if you have time, can you check on the eunuchs? If anyone behaves out of line, can you warn them?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Prince, pays homage to you"

He wrote the letter, dried it, stamped it, and checked it again to make sure that after the Han Emperor read the letter, he might take action against Bi Lan - it would be best if the Han Emperor told Bi Lan, or Bi Lan thought of his adopted son. Family ties, wanting to send people to rescue people... In short, he didn't mind fishing with Bihuahua, catching fish named Shi Changshi one after another.

He handed the letter to He Xian, who handed it to Xun You.

Xun You held the dove in one hand and the letter in the other. He said goodbye to Liu Bian and said, "I'm sorry, Gongda will deliver the letter for His Highness right now." After saying that, Xun You made a move to leave.

"Wait a minute." Liu Bian said with great interest, "Sir, can you send a message directly to me in front of my king?"

Xun You was startled for a moment, took a look at the carrier pigeon in his hand, and said awkwardly: "Your Highness, please ask Rong Gongda to change to a pigeon. This pigeon has just experienced a long journey and is in urgent need of rest and recovery."

Liu Bianle said: "Does it mean that pigeons also have physical strength? - I am sure, just go ahead!"

Xun You hesitated for a moment and then left.

Liu Bian lowered his head and looked at the three documents before hearing He Xian say: "Your Highness, Mr. Xun is here again."

"Please come in, Mr. Xun," Liu Bian said.

Then, Xun You appeared again.

At this time, Xun You still held a pigeon in his hand and bowed simply: "Your Highness, do you still want to see the flying pigeon delivering the letter?"

Liu argued: "I think so."

Xun You said: "Please wait a moment."

Then, Xun You rolled up Liu Bian's letter into a long and thin barrel shape, stuffed it into the small iron box on the pigeon's leg, then stroked the pigeon's head and said softly: "Go! Where are you going to Luoyang?" Mansion——"

Looking around, Xun You came to the window with the carrier pigeon in hand and opened it.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, making Liu Bian shiver.

When He Xian saw this, he said with a cold eyebrow: "Mr. Xun, why don't you close the window yet."

Xun You said: "Right away."

Xun You threw the pigeon out of the window, and saw the pigeon flapping its wings and flying into the air.

After this flight, the homing pigeon did not fly back.

Liu Bian and others looked out the window and saw that the carrier pigeon was gone and never returned.

"It's cold." Xun You turned his head.

Xun You waited for a while and saw that the homing pigeon had not returned, so he closed the window.

Suddenly, the room became warm again.

"Your Highness." Xun You, with his empty hands, finally freed his hands and saluted Liu Bian, "By noon, there will probably be a reply. By then, will Gongda deliver a letter to His Highness?"

Liu Bian nodded thoughtfully, wanting to say something, but said nothing.

Xun You put down his steps and raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, do you have anything else to say?"

Tilting his head, Liu Bian said: "I am curious whether you and Mr. Xu Yuanzhi can train homing pigeons?"

Xun You shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, neither Gongda nor Yuan Zhi can do it."

Liu Bian sighed, showing a hint of disappointment.

Xun You raised his eyebrows and said, "Gongda can learn how to train carrier pigeons with Yuan Zhi."

"Really?" Liu Bian blurted out, beaming with joy.

"This is not difficult." Xun You said.

"That's good." Liu Bian said, "I would like to train a few more pigeons and concentrate on flying to the Luoyang Palace in the future."

Xun You: "..." The corners of Xun You's mouth twitched and he was speechless.

Xun You heard the implication of His Highness: Doesn’t His Highness really want to get close to General He?Or avoid suspicion?

--Right!How can letters written by His Highness to His Majesty always be delivered by the General?
This is too inconvenient!
Over time, what should His Highness and His Majesty do if they want to exchange relevant information between the two places?Is it really possible to tolerate the general's interference?
Xun You took his place in it. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it tasted very good.

Let alone His Highness or His Majesty.

Your Highness or Your Majesty are both top figures, so how can you be willing to threaten them?
"Can't you?" Liu Bian said softly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Biting his lip, Xun You said: "——Yes! It will take several months to train this homing pigeon!"

"That's okay." Liu Bian's eyes narrowed, "I just want to train a homing pigeon that is loyal to Bohai County! There is no limit to the number! If you can do it, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Xun You: "..."

Deeply, Xun You stared deeply at Liu Bian: Your Highness, Your Highness, how do I hear this old man, who do you think you are connoting? ——Do you dislike bondage? ... Tsk.

Xun You clasped his fists towards Liu Bian and responded: "How dare you disobey your orders."

Afterwards, Xun You turned around and retreated.

In the afternoon, Xun You came again to deliver a letter.

Liu Bian was astonished and opened the letter. He saw that the opening chapter was still "Shu Zi" and the content was still ridicule, mocking his wishful thinking. He must be on the side of his uncle He Jin, so he dared to mention Bi Lan unscrupulously - this is Do you want to use my hand to weaken Zhong Changshi?Don’t even think about it!
The paper was full of curses, making Liu Bian dumbfounded: If it hadn't been for the Han Emperor's jade seal, he would have thought that this letter had been transferred!His cheap father was so obsessed by the eunuchs that he actually wanted to protect him? ……snort!

Not to mention that the Han emperor paid too much attention to the eunuchs, just saying that the eunuchs are now in charge of military command is ridiculous enough... Narrowing his eyes, Liu Bian felt angry in his heart, and he immediately wrote back:
"To my father:

Father is so confused!It’s really ridiculous to regard fish eyes as pearls!
Although the general He Jin was the great uncle of his son, he never made friends with the court ministers and became enemies of the eunuchs because of his great uncle. They fight to the death.

It is true that eunuchs usually do not do human affairs and often bully the people. Take Bi Lan for example!
Father, I don't believe you don't know what Bi Lan has done... Bi Lan is a greedy person who is greedy for salary and does not do human affairs. He often plunders the people in the name of building bridges and roads. Who doesn't hate Bi Lan? Lan?

Not only Bi Lan, but also the other eunuchs you trust, father, are not good people!I hope my father will learn from this!

Father, I heard from Mr. Xun that you are seriously ill, right?Do you need me to ask a famous doctor to take a look at you?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Prince, pays homage to you"

...Liu Bian felt inexplicably: This reply letter comes back again and again!

Maybe he and Emperor Han will live a life of flying pigeons delivering messages from now on.

Just as he thought.

In the evening, Liu Bian received a reply again.

Being accustomed to the beginning of "Shu Zi", the Han Emperor scolded Liu Bian again, scolding him for what he knew at such a young age. "Although there are many eunuchs, they are very considerate. In addition, they can also conjure money for the treasury. How can we not make him Am I happy?

I understand what you mean, but I still will not attack the eunuchs, and you are not allowed to actively harm them!
In addition, I am not sick. Mr. Xun Gongda said that I am sick? --very good!You send Xun Gongda to Luoyang on my behalf, and I will confront you! 』

——Seeing Liu Bian here with black lines all over his head, he wanted to growl: Who cares about you? !
However, the kind-hearted Liu Bian still told Xun You, announcing: "Don't pay attention to my father, this is a calligrapher, not an order, don't take it to heart! If you are not willing to go back, just stay in Nanpi County, and I will protect you." Holding you."

Xun You was so moved that he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your protection, Your Highness. You will not disappoint Your Highness - Your Highness, do you still want to write a reply?"

"Write! Write! Write! Why not write?" Liu Bian took a breath and wrote a reply decisively:

"To my father:

So, Father, are you very healthy?Not sick?Are you planning to send one or two miracle doctors to Luoyang to treat you? ——However, my father, even if you are not sick, you should pay attention to your health and care!Don’t think that your sons and ministers don’t know about your ridiculous deeds in your early years. Father, please come to your senses!Stop emptying your body...

correct!Although I cannot go to Luoyang to "worship my ancestors", I decided to "worship my ancestors" in Nanpi County. Please stop saying that I am unfilial... Although I am thousands of miles away, I miss my father and mother. But it hasn’t changed!
Please send your regards to your mother and queen on behalf of your father!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Prince, pays homage to you"

Not surprisingly, he handed the letter to Xun You and asked Xun You to send it.

Xun You sent a third carrier pigeon to Luoyang.

In this way, Liu Bian and the Han Emperor actually crossed the state, used flying pigeons to deliver messages, and quarreled endlessly!

The Han Emperor didn't say much good things at all in his letter, and Liu Bian didn't give in too much.

At the end of the quarrel, the Han Emperor behaved like a rogue and simply avoided talking about the matter. He asked about the trivial matters of Liu Bian's studies - thanks to his confusion for half his life, the Han Emperor still remembered to care about his eldest son's knowledge... Why didn't I see you before? Just ask?

Liu Bian also replied with a smile: "Good."

After that, using Xun You as the medium and the carrier pigeon as the carrier, Liu Bian finally had a not-so-pleasant chat with the Han Emperor, his father. The Han Emperor was smart and arrogant, and also liked to lie down and show off. He gradually understood Liu Bian. Liu Bian's intention was to reject eunuchs and disapprove of eunuchs in charge of the army, but the Han emperor insisted on doing the opposite, appreciating eunuchs and reusing eunuchs, many of them, which made Liu Bian speechless!

In the end, eight carrier pigeons lined up to deliver letters back and forth between Liu Bian and the Han Emperor, and they just missed being exhausted to death!
Liu Bian finally felt that eight homing pigeons were not enough.

However, the current conditions do not allow it.

Helplessly, Liu Bian could only make do.

From then on, Liu Bian wrote two letters a day, and the opinions in these letters were all refuting the Han Emperor.

It is strange to say that Liu Bian and the Han emperor were at odds with each other and hated each other, but they only wrote letters to curse each other, which was very measured.

Come and go, come and go again, the day of "ancestor worship" has not yet come, Liu Bian felt that he and Emperor Han, the cheap father, had scolded a little affection, as if there was a little taste of father and son.

At least after several days of communication through flying pigeons, the effect was remarkable: Suddenly, the Han Emperor stated that Bi Lan's adopted son was imprisoned and that Bi Lan was dead... Bi Lan's adopted son could be handled by Liu Bian himself and did not need to be escorted back to Luoyang City——

Emperor Han believed that Liu Bian had the ability to handle it well.

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian did not forget what the Han Emperor said to him when he first met him: he is frivolous and has no dignity, and cannot be the master of others!

……Ah! !
Liu Bian wrote another sentence: "Father, I would like to use Bi Lan's adopted son as bait, is that okay?" 』

Suspecting that he understood Liu Bian's point, after a long time, Emperor Han replied with only two words: "No play." 』

Tilting his head, Liu Bian also calmed down and decided not to delay any longer. He immediately ordered someone to read out Bi Huahua's crimes one by one, and ordered the execution of the other party...
