Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 91 Borrowing Xun You’s mouth to talk about Luoyang

"Sir, do you want to see Zhang Yan now?" Liu Bian asked.

Liu Bian felt that the other party's request was too sudden, and he didn't know if Zhang Yan would come if he directly informed Zhang Yan.

Should he come? ——This time the Luoyang envoy came, wasn’t it just to confer a title on Zhang Yan?
But I heard Xun You say: "Your Highness, do you feel that time is too tight?"

"This...that's not true." Liu Bian shook his head.

In fact, he felt that the matter of ennobling a knight should be more cautious. How could he ask Zhang Yan to come over and Zhang Yan would just come over? ——Zhang Yan doesn’t want to lose face?

cough!What he mainly means is: Should... pick a good day?

——Do you think you are visiting talents?Still want to pick a good day?Are you thinking too much?

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he reflected silently, feeling embarrassed for no reason.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Mr. Xun, will this king inform Zhang Yan and ask Zhang Yan... to come back tomorrow?"

He remembered the agreement he made with Zhang Yan: If Zhang Yan and his Yellow Turban soldiers successfully returned to the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan would promise to release all the tenant farmers in the village... That's right!Exactly for this reason!

He was worried that Zhang Yan would fulfill the agreement and release and return a large number of tenant farmers, about 10 people?Wouldn't that add to the burden on Nanpi County's supplies? ——By then, let alone a big pot of porridge, I’m afraid I’ll be drinking from the northwest wind!

He rubbed his forehead and thought: It's too late today. If I really want to inform Zhang Yan, I'm afraid Zhang Yan won't be able to make it... It's better to let Zhang Yan come tomorrow!

Of course, he would remember to remind Zhang Yan first not to forget the agreement.

Smiling slightly, Xun You said, "Just as you please, Your Highness."

After lightly grabbing the case, he immediately wrote a notification document, stamped it with a seal, dried the ink, and called out: "He Shui, come here! You go to Nanpi Village, you must see Zhang Yan, and give me this document Give the document to Zhang Yan and report it back to me."

"Here!" He Shui carefully collected the notification document and resigned as ordered.

Xun You, who witnessed this process, stroked his beard and looked at the prince in front of him calmly:
I heard that His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, grew up outside the palace and was called Shi Hou... What's more, two months ago, when he entered the palace for the first time to pay homage to His Majesty, he was rejected by His Majesty and was even evaluated by His Majesty. What is "this son is frivolous and has no dignity, so he cannot be the master of others"?
The frivolity didn't come across, but Xun You felt that His Highness was a bit dignified, but not as unbearable as His Majesty said... From this, it can be seen that Your Majesty just said angry words at that time?

I recall that back then, Your Majesty loved Beauty Wang, the mother of Marquis Dong and Liu Xie. Later, Queen He became jealous and poisoned Beauty Wang, making Your Majesty no longer want to see Queen He!By association, His Majesty has alienated the eldest son of the emperor?now……

Now, Your Majesty wants to make Donghou Liu Xie the crown prince this time——

Xun You silently recalled His Majesty's gossip among the people, and then recalled the tasks assigned by the general before coming to Bohai County. He couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, can you allow You to say a few words in private?"

With a sudden move in his heart, Liu Bian immediately understood Xun You's intention.

Glad that Xun You directly regarded himself as the master, Liu Bian looked at Zhao Yun who was present from the corner of his eye.

Zhao Yun stood up in time, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Xun, please Rong Zilong guard the door."

"Strong warrior Zilong, please go ahead." Liu Bian did not hesitate to stay.

As a result, Zhao Yun temporarily bid farewell to Liu Bian and Xun You.

Tilting his head, Liu Bian watched Zhao Yun leave. He thought that there were confidants on both sides, but He Miao was missing, so he said, "If someone comes, please call He Xiapeng."

Where to go?
Xun You was confused: Who is that?
Immediately, He Miao came. When he visited Liu Bian, Xun You stared at He Miao and remembered in a daze: He is the younger brother of General He?

He Miao, as always, cherished words like gold, and was particularly calm, taking the initiative to sit in a corner and not making a sound.

Liu Bian withdrew his gaze and said to Xun You: "Sir Xun You, just say it! Everyone present is my confidant."

At that time, He Xian and other guards, plus He Miao, were all present.

Xun You looked around at the crowd, took a deep breath, and said: "Since you are one of our own, then you have to say... Your Highness, when you were away from Luoyang City, there were several "quarrel incidents" in Luoyang City. "

"A bickering incident?" Liu Bian whispered.

"Yes, the quarrel incident." Xun You said, looking slightly dumbfounded, "Since Your Highness took the initiative to go to Bohai County, His Majesty's mind has been active..."

Blah blah blah, Xun You told Liu Bian and his entourage interesting facts about Luoyang [-], [-] and [-]:

Han Emperor Liu Hong, Liu Bian's nominally cheap father-in-law, really moved the earth again when he listened to the nagging of Empress Dowager Dong and the cleverness of his youngest son Liu Xie when Liu Bian went to Bohai County. The heart of establishing a prince——

Of course, the Han Emperor's performance was different. He refused to agree to the resignation of the noble families in the court: the Han Emperor had to make Liu Bian the crown prince instead of making Liu Xie the crown prince. He also threatened that the reason why he made Liu Xie the crown prince was Because Liu Bian took the initiative to withdraw from the fight for the crown prince... Anyway, it was difficult for the Han Emperor, so he had no choice but to do so!
However, there are too many slots in these words, and it is really impossible to convince the aristocratic families in the court.

Then every day, the Han Emperor would be reprimanded by officials and received strong demands from the ministers: If the Han Emperor established his second son as the prince, it would be against the law and the laws of nature would not allow it. The only thing he did not do was scold the Han Emperor until he would be infamy for thousands of years!

In fact, several impulsive officials hit the pillar one after another and almost died on the spot, hoping that His Majesty would change his mind.

Will Emperor Han change his mind? --Won't!
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent an imperial doctor to treat the injuries of those officials, but he still went his own way and threatened to make Liu Xie the crown prince.

As a result, Queen Mother He in the harem took action.

"Your Majesty!!" Queen Mother He's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was crying so hard that she felt so pitiful, "Your Majesty has sent our prince to the distant Bohai County, and his life and death are still unknown! Your Majesty, don't you Worried?
Now, Your Majesty, you ignore the safety of your eldest son and insist on making your second son the prince. Do you want to make me feel chilly? !
Unless the eldest son dies unfortunately, how dare you, Your Majesty, pass over the eldest son and establish a second son? !

Your Majesty, you insist on making your second son the crown prince. Could it be that the eldest son... died? !
Prince!My prince!You were so young, but you died outside, and not even your mother could bury you!
Your Majesty, you are so cruel!You don't care about our royal son, but you focus on a child who is only seven years old... you!you!you!You are so heartless!

This is really unheard of! ! "

After a lot of crying and fighting, Empress He did not give the Han Emperor any chance to interrupt. The quarrel made the emperor beat his chest with grief.

It is said that that day, Emperor Han was exported by Empress He, his whole face turned green, but he couldn't refute it!After a long time, Emperor Han seized the opportunity and quickly comforted Empress He, saying:
"Queen, don't be angry, why did I not care about the eldest son? - I will send someone to contact the eldest son to ensure the safety of the eldest son!"

Queen He was startled. Instead of turning her worries into joy, she was filled with worries. She was suddenly worried that Your Majesty would secretly harm her eldest son... Although this was unlikely, but what if?
Therefore, Queen He pretended to be real and said with tears streaming down her face:

"Is your majesty telling the truth? - I will believe your majesty just once! Please also send someone to contact our emperor - whether it is life or death, I accept my fate! If it is life, it is my fate; If I die, my concubine... my concubine... Your Majesty, just make your second son the crown prince!"

The implication: Queen He actually mistakenly thought that the Han Emperor wanted to have a second son, but it was actually because the eldest son died!

What else could Emperor Han do? ——The Emperor of Han felt pity for Queen He, so he had no choice but to send an envoy to Bohai County...

Hearing this, Liu Bian looked at Xun You and concluded: "I understand what Mr. Xun means! Mr. Xun is saying that there are two waves of people coming to Bohai County, and one of them is you?"

"That's right!" Xun You sighed, "Fortunately, we were lucky enough to be one step ahead and inform His Highness in advance!

Your Highness, I don’t want to hide it from you!To be honest, if the Luoyang envoy comes to Bohai County, His Highness needs to be careful, be careful!Queen He asked You to convey a message to His Highness: Don't forget how Prince Fusu died!In addition, You felt that what Queen He said made sense! "

With a start, Liu Bian realized that the Han Emperor wanted to harm him... well, he always felt that this was impossible, so he said: "I have written down Mr. Xun's reminder."

Observing Liu Bian's expression carefully, Xun You shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you probably don't take it to heart?"

"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness!" Xun You showed some dissatisfaction, "You are the eldest son of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can the future Crown Prince and Your Majesty be careless and not cautious at all? It's okay if you don't harm Your Highness today. If you really want to harm Your Highness, Your Highness will Aren’t you going to resist?!”

This……

His head was full of black lines: Is that too serious? ——Isn’t this something you haven’t encountered before?

He believed that no matter how much the Han Emperor rejected and hated him, he would never want to kill him.

On the other hand, Empress Dowager Dong, the biological mother of the Han Emperor, wanted to make Liu Xie the crown prince, so it was reasonable to harm him.

In short, just don’t be careless!

After calming down, Liu Bian said: "May I ask, sir, how to resist?"

Xun You was startled for a moment. He probably didn't expect that His Highness in front of him would believe it and seriously asked for advice on how to resist...

"You have a plan. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to listen?"

"Sir, please speak!" He quickly sat up and listened.

"In fact, this matter is difficult to say, and it is not easy to say it is simple." Your Highness will not listen to anything!
Furthermore, if His Highness does not care about the throne, he may be injured and disabled!Once His Highness is disabled, do you still have to worry about the position of the prince? ——Of course, the injury and disability are too serious, and His Highness must not be able to continue acting?Why don't you, Your Highness, just pretend to be sick?

Finally, if His Highness is strong, he might as well send someone to kill the envoy, and it will be over!As long as the envoy cannot see His Highness, won't His Highness be safe?

So, which method does Your Highness want to choose? "

Liu Bian: "..."

There seems to be no easy way?

Liu Bian was embarrassed.

Waving his hand, he said: "I'm very curious about the first one... Everyone, please rest assured that when the Luoyang envoy comes, no matter what requests he makes, as long as they are not beneficial to me, I will reject them all!"

His eyes lit up, and Xun You looked at Liu Bian with admiration. He felt more and more that what His Majesty said... was too biased.

"By the way! When will the Luoyang envoy come?" Rolling his eyes, he wanted to take advantage of the Luoyang envoy.

Xun You opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he suddenly heard an excited conversation coming from outside the door:

"Are you General Zhao Yunzhao?!"

"Liu Sheren is ridiculous! Zilong is still white and has never joined the army."

"As the saying goes, heroes have never asked where they came from since ancient times. General Zilong, you are too humble."

……

This? !

Liu Bian was confused in the wind: Are they Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? !

Unexpectedly, despite all precautions, Liu, Guan, and Zhang got to know Zhao Yun in advance——

Liu Bei shouldn't be recruiting Zhao Yuncai, right? !

By coincidence, Liu Bian and Xun You had nothing to talk about for a while, so he asked, "Sir He, what happened outside?"

He Xian said: "It's evening, everyone is here to report on the progress."

"Is there anyone like Master Cao?"

"Have!"

That would be great!His eyes were crooked, and even he didn't notice any hint of mischief... "Bring everyone here! Bring them into the house."

In this way, Liu Bian's study was extremely lively.

On the other side, Liu Bei was smiling and looking at Zhao Yun with bright eyes. He looked like he was talking a lot with Zhao Yun. He and Zhao Yun hit it off immediately and chatted about everything. Liu Bei was really curious about how Liu Bei and Zhao Yun became friends.

On the other side, they saw Xun You and Zhao Yun. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu seemed to know the identities of Xun You and Zhao Yun, but their attitudes were actually indifferent.As for He Yue, he was calm and composed and not overly interested, while Cao Cao...

Cao Cao actually looked at Xun You up and down, his eyes sparkled, and he actually admired Xun You!
Then Cao Cao bowed deeply to Xun You.

Everyone present was quite calm, except for Liu Bian, who had black lines on his head and really didn’t know how to complain about this Shura-like scene: First of all, in the original history, Zhao Yun did belong to Liu Bei, and he was brave and good at fighting; secondly, Xun You He is the chief counselor under Cao Cao, and his IQ and strategy are among the best...

These two people, without Liu Bian's intervention, might have embarked on the original historical torrent. However, with Liu Bian's arrival, the life trajectories of these two people... It's time to change——

Who knows, the changes were quite thorough: both Liu Bei and Cao Cao were accepted by Liu Bian as his uncle and younger brother. Zhao Yun and Xun You may not have any intersection with Liu Bei and Cao Cao... Unfortunately, it is only "maybe"!
The reality is: Practice has proved that Zhao Yun and Xun You made a big circle, even if they no longer loyal to Liu Bei and Cao Cao, they still admire each other with Liu Bei and Cao Cao!This, this, this... this made Liu Bian filled with emotion.

Anyway, Liu Bian was quite satisfied with the result.

Satisfiedly, Liu Bian did not want to listen to the progress report of the mission for the time being, and rarely listened to the talents of the two parties bragging about each other!
It's a pity that Liu Bian was destined to not get any rest: he just squinted his eyes and saw that He Xian had received a report from a soldier.Afterwards, He Xian came over and whispered to him:

"Your Highness, the notification document sent to Zhang Yan has arrived at great speed! Zhang Yan said that it will be here at [-] o'clock tomorrow."

When?

It's still dark, what's next?
He was depressed.

Although he was disgusted with his words, Liu Bian said honestly: "Mr. Xun, Zhang Yan will be here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning! Then you..."
