Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 186 After the successful conclusion of the New Year

Putting his chin on his hand, Liu Bian was very satisfied with the grand scene of the market that night.

As for all the people of Nanpi County, including the distinguished guests from Youzhou who came from afar, they were also very happy.I still remember that when he presented the rewards for guessing riddles to Cao Cao and others, he heard many people exclaiming and whispering:

"It's incredible...is it really possible?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? His Highness announced that there will be rewards. Do you think you are joking?"

"No... no, I'm just surprised! Hey! It's so enviable! Why didn't I guess right?"

"Guess right? Do you still want to guess a riddle? - Ah Tu, Ah Tu, you don't know a few words, what are you guessing?"

"..."

Hearing this, Liu Bian smiled slightly and shouted to everyone: "Everyone! From now on, there will be a riddle game every year, and the rewards will be even more generous! If you want to participate, you can sign up for the academy and study! As long as you are literate, you can Can understand puzzles! Learning is important! It can improve your life! Are you interested?"

"Yes!" The onlookers in twos and threes responded without thinking.

After that, the group of onlookers fell into a sluggish state and began to doubt life.

Liu Bian's expression did not change. He pointed at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Everyone, do you know who these two are?"

"Who is it?" Everyone asked in unison.

Liu Bian said: "This is Guan Yu, whose courtesy name is Yunchang. His name is "thief Cao Yu", and he is the magistrate of Gaocheng County!That is Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name is Yide, which means "thief catcher", and is the magistrate of Yangxin County!The martial arts of these two people are extraordinary and rare in the world, not to mention the one-on-one duel between the two. It can be said that the military generals of Bohai County can challenge each other to the limit!Everyone, is it not? "

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison, "General Guan! General Zhang! Challenge the ceiling! General Guan! General Zhang! Challenge the ceiling!..."

Immediately, the atmosphere at the scene was very lively and enthusiastic.

For a moment, everyone seemed to remember Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!

Guan Yu: "..."

Zhang Fei: "..."

Liu Bian's eyes curled up, and the corners of his mouth curved.

——This is his ultimate goal!

How could it be possible to just hold a temple fair for a few days without any reputation? ——I have guessed all the riddles, played all the heads-up matches, no matter what, everyone should remember "learning" and "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the ceiling"... Oh ~ no!Is it the importance of "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have very high martial arts values"?

I hope that many students will enroll in academies after the year, and that military generals should not be arrogant and follow the example of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei - he thought: His only regret is that he did not watch and see the winner between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. !
However, it doesn't matter, as long as everyone remembers that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are equal, they are called peerless generals.

In addition, when he returned to the mansion with his guards, he was not surprised to see Tian Chou and a group of thickly dressed strong men eating and drinking in the commercial street with a very satisfied expression.

Liu Bian paused for a moment. He wanted to talk to Tian Chou, but gave up the idea.

There was nothing they could do. Unlike Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, Tian Chou and his companions didn't write letters specifically to say hello in advance... Tian Chou arrived quietly, as if he didn't want him to know.

Anyway, since Tian Chou didn't want him to know, he would pretend not to know.

Anyway...it doesn't matter anyway?
Seeing that Tian Chou brought people to Nanpi County for fun, it should mean that Tian Chou is fine there?

Otherwise, Tian Chou would have been very worried.

——He had no idea that this "ancestral worship" had a great influence. Not only Tian Chou, Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun and other Youzhou officials went to Nanpi County, but also many knowledgeable and talented people from Jizhou also came. This trip, such as...

Finally, Liu Bian returned home to rest, and planned to send someone to see the whereabouts of Tian Chou and others the next day.

Who would have thought, it was such an unfortunate coincidence: on the morning of the fourth day after the ancestor worship ceremony, while Liu Bian was still lying on the couch, he received a message from He Xian - He Xian said: "Your Highness, Mr. Tian Chou is gone. Left Nanpi County.”

"My king knows." Liu Bian felt sorry and waved his hand, "You step back."

It was quiet outside.

But not long after, Xu Shu's voice sounded as usual, saying: "Your Highness, there is a letter from Luoyang."

Xu Shu's voice has also changed from nervous and uneasy at the beginning to calm and composed now - the joke has been poisoned dozens of times by the letters of the Han Emperor in Luoyang, and he should have been immune to it long ago!
After hearing this, Liu Bian just wanted to get into bed, and his first reaction was: Ah!Need to write a reply!
Second reaction: Oh!Can't sleep anymore!
He sighed: "Wait a moment, I will be here soon, you go to the study and wait."

When he was young, he lingeringly got off the bed, washed and changed his clothes, and after breakfast, he slowly walked towards the study room, not feeling any shame at all for wasting Xu Shu's precious time.

Sitting in front of the desk, he looked through the Han Emperor's letters, but saw two big characters written in the letters: "Shu Zi"

Then, gone.

Liu Bian: "..."

Ok?
Are you kidding me? !
With a fierce look on his face, he turned the note left and right. He really only saw two words, and he couldn't help crying or laughing.

His father seemed to be addicted to scolding him, and every time he started scolding him, he would always start with the word "Shu Zi"... This time, although the Han Emperor did not write any unnecessary words, he seemed to see countless exclamation marks added after the word "Shu Zi", It is enough to prove how depressed and angry Emperor Han was.

Why was Emperor Han depressed and angry? ——Is it because he didn’t return to Luoyang?

But, he had declined it before?I haven’t seen anything like Emperor Han either…

Touching his nose, Liu Bian wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Your Highness." At this time, Xu Shu opened his mouth and magically took out another piece of cloth from his sleeve, "This is a letter from General He."

With a flash of eyes, Liu Bian said: "Bring it here."

In order to distinguish the letters between the Han Emperor and General He, Liu Bian's letters to the Han Emperor were written on small slips of paper, while the letters written to He Jin - mainly He Jin's reply, were usually made of light cloth!

Now, He Jin actually wrote him a letter? ...With a trace of curiosity, he took a look at He Jin's letter and saw that He Jin wrote to him: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is very angry. The reason is that Your Highness was absent from Luoyang to worship ancestors, so that Luoyang was unable to worship ancestors." There was a slight mistake in the link.

Now, His Majesty is so angry that he ordered the relevant sacrificial officials to be arrested and imprisoned. Not to mention, the old illness has relapsed, and the anger has broken into the heart and body!Now, His Majesty is feeling slightly unwell and is recuperating. His temper is very bad, and even Marquis Dong is having trouble controlling him!Empress Dowager Dong plans to ask a doctor or witch to cure Her Majesty's illness. Liu Bian: "..."

Across thousands of mountains and rivers, Liu Bian could see He Jin's schadenfreude from He Jin's cloth letter, especially the "Dong Hou" part, where the font became larger and there was a hint of joy between the lines, for fear that he would He Jin couldn't tell he was happy.

Regarding the recurring illness of Emperor Han... He Jin didn't seem to take it to heart.

Liu Bian's head was full of black lines, and the corner of his mouth twitched, thinking silently: I must reprimand my uncle when I turn around!My eldest uncle is too shameless... Even if he is happy, how can he reveal it openly?
Don’t be afraid that this letter will be intercepted halfway!
Liu Bian's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to think that one day the letter would be noticed by others - no!no!He always felt that "flying pigeons to deliver messages" was too unsafe and had no sense of security at all... What if the pigeons were used as dinner one day, or if the pigeons were used as food by large birds and swallowed in one gulp? what to do.

Liu Bian was worried and worried, secretly going crazy, thinking: It seems that Xun You really can't stay in Nanpi County——

Even if Xun You is loyal to him, it seems that he still hasn't given Xun You an official position? ... In this way, can he send Xun You back to Luoyang to act as a counselor, assist He Jin, and then deal with the two forces of He Jin and the Han Emperor on his behalf?
He was even upset about why he kept Xun You... By the way, wasn't Xun You there to guide He Jin to prevent He Jin from making mistakes? ——Although Yuan Shao has been transferred out of Luoyang by him, it can be seen that the other children of the Yuan family, especially the eldest son of the Yuan family, named Yuan Ji, if they accidentally take advantage of Xun You's absence in Luoyang, and give some advice to He Jin, the country and the people. If the world is in chaos, then wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?
Not good, not good!
He stood up with a grimace, rarely walked around, and thought seriously: It seems that no matter how much I appreciate Xun You's resourcefulness, I shouldn't leave Xun You in Nanpi... Now that Nanpi is prosperous, it needs enough time to develop its economy. I'm afraid something will happen in Luoyang, that would be too bad.

no!no!Sure enough, Xun You still has to stay in Luoyang City!
Xun You must help He Jin to prevent He Jin from losing his mind!

Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly and asked Xu Shu, "Do you know how Mr. Gongda is doing lately?"

Xu Shu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xun has been living in Xun Mansion, Nanpi County? Your Highness, would you like to summon Mr. Xun?"

Liu Bian pondered for a moment and nodded reservedly.

Therefore, He Xian, as Liu Bian's first bodyguard, rushed to notify Xun You.

Liu Bian, on the other hand, buried himself in writing two letters quickly.

One letter was written on a note, addressed to the father of the emperor, to show off in a fancy way that the "ancestor worship" in Nanpi County went smoothly and securely, and everyone had a great time.Liu Bian also mentioned the "riddle guessing" during the festival.

Finally, Liu Bian also wrote two riddles for the Han Emperor to guess.

...Liu Biancai refused to admit that he did it on purpose. He wanted to see his father suffer.

Another letter was written on cloth and was addressed to He Jin, instructing his uncle three things: first, to treat His Majesty’s condition no matter what, and to call in doctors, not witches; second, to urge the uncle to see if Use rubbings or printing and dyeing to copy one hundred copies of the Luoyang Stone Classic and send someone to Nanpi County for urgent use; thirdly, Mr. Xun You will come back and ask my uncle to continue to use Mr. Xun You and follow Mr. Xun You's strategy.

After he finished writing, He Xian reported that Mr. Xun You had arrived.

Liu Bian summoned Xun You and said, "Sir, the ancestor worship ceremony in Nanpi County has ended. Is it time for you to return to Luoyang?"

Xun You was taken aback and said: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Liu argued: "Mr. Xun is not going to pay attention to General He?"

Xun You was startled for a moment and blinked.

Liu Biandao: "Sir, I am not hiding anything from you. I am in Bohai County. It is because of my husband to assist the general, and the general is helping me in Luoyang, that I can develop in Bohai County with peace of mind... Be honest He said that although the general is my uncle, he also attaches great importance to me, but unfortunately his intelligence is slightly lacking. Without my master's plan, I am afraid that he will be instigated by villains and do something stupid!

I am very worried. I cannot ask my father to transfer the general to Nanpi County to accompany me. "

Xun You was silent, never expecting that one day he would be despised by His Highness, and His Highness would actually... no no no!Strictly speaking, His Highness recognized Xun You's talent and hoped that Xun You would help the general to prevent the general from going astray without knowing it!

However, Xun You understood what His Highness meant, but he was still extremely disappointed. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Gongda is not blessed to be with His Highness! Since it is what Your Highness wants, Gongda should do his best... Gongda will do his best..." Go back to Luoyang! May I ask Your Highness, when is the best time for Gongda to leave for Luoyang?"

Liu argued: "As soon as possible."

Xun You bowed silently.

At this time, Liu Bian's words were probably too tactful, which made the atmosphere a little stiff.

Anyway, Xu Shu stood there and listened to the entire conversation between Liu Bian and Xun You, wishing he could leave early.

Clearing his throat, Xu Shu said: "Your Highness, should I deliver the letter?"

"Send a letter?" Liu Bian patted his head and had a flash of inspiration, "Yes, yes - a letter! Just send the letter!"

Xu Shu was extremely moved: Great!I can finally leave the study!
Xu Shu took the two letters almost without thinking, told Liu Bian to back off, and ran away quickly.

After watching Xu Shu walk away, Liu Bencai looked back and said, "Sir, I have one more request."

"...What's the matter?" Xun You asked calmly.

When Liu Bian thought about this, he still felt embarrassed, but he still said: "In fact, I asked my uncle to move a hundred copies of the "Stone Scripture" from Luoyang City and send them to Nanpi... Sir, how dare you Ask if the Xun family still has suitable talents?I would like to ask Mr.’s tribe to escort these stone scriptures! "

That's right!Liu Bian thought: Xun You lent it to General He Jin. Didn't the Xun family have several outstanding children, such as Xun Yu or Xun Chen? ——If Xun Yu or Xun Chen, especially Xun Yu, could come under his command... Xun You would not be so heartbroken if Xun You was borrowed!
Raising his eyebrows, Xun You seemed to have read Liu Bian's thoughts and hesitated: "What do you mean, Your Highness...?"

With his ears turning red, Liu argued: "It's just as you thought!"

Xun You said: "Gongda understands! Don't worry! Your Highness! I will discuss the issue of the Stone Scripture with the family and it will not delay Your Highness's academy plan."

——It's not a family!It's Xun Yu or Xun Chen!

#showdown!In fact, I am not only greedy for Xun You, I am also greedy for Xun Yu and Xun Chen#
#區彧 in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be a talent recommender!He once recommended a large number of talents to Cao Cao, such as Zhong Yao, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, etc.#
"That's very good." Liu Bian lightly pressed the case, not wanting to hide his inner joy.

After discussing with Xun You, Liu Bian watched Xun You leave, patted his forehead abruptly, and said to himself: Liu Bian, Liu Bian, what are you doing?It's still the bathing period, why did you start working early?
After thinking about it, Liu Bian remembered that Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan and others were still in Nanpi County. He was afraid that he would have to return to Youzhou in a short time. The next time he wanted to meet Zhao Yun and others, when would he wait until May and May?

Just be tired if you're tired!After all, we need to entertain Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun and others well, so that we can better promote the friendly exchanges between Bohai County and Youzhou?It is convenient for traders from the two places to trade back and forth...

And slow!

Liu Bian thought that there seems to be no safe official road from Nanpi to Ji County, Youzhou, why not... Thinking of this, Liu Bian said:
"He Xian, please go to General Gongsun Zan and General Zhao Yun - forget it, forget it! I will go in person!"

It's okay anyway.

He said he was visiting Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, but Liu Bian was physically honest, but in fact he took the lead in walking towards the residence where Zhao Yun lived.

But I saw that Zhao Yun's place had already been visited by someone...
