Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 176 Something big is going to happen
In order to smoothly increase his points, Xu Jiashu chose to stay at home and brush up Diao Chan's favorability in all the subsequent simulation scenes, never leaving the door without leaving the door.

But even with such a single-minded strategy, he still couldn't detect any obvious change in Diao Chan's attitude - at least not on the surface.

It's not that there's anything bad about Diao Chan's attitude towards him, but that she has always accurately maintained her appearance when she first arrived at Xu's residence.

The Huaichun girl with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water exudes admiration in every move she makes. Even Xun Gongda, a poker-faced person, feels that Zi Mao's move is really not a loss, and he has successfully obtained a rare man in the world from Wang Situ. The beautiful lady can be said to be the envy of others.

Only Xu Jiashu knew in his heart that this was not the case. Diao Chan was just continuing to play the role of someone who was devoted to him.

What was hiding behind those hot eyes that made her so uneasy that she refused to reveal her true thoughts despite her constant overtures?
he does not know.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Xu Jiashu yelled in a broken voice, “Can this crappy simulator have a real-time display of favorability meter like other galgames? With such poor technical skills, how can you imitate other people’s game creation? Do you think Are you gamefreak? I want to complain!"

There was only silence to answer him.

Diao Chan didn't know what to do.

Whether it was due to the discipline that modern people receive or the fear of their personality being darkened, Xu Jiashu never had the idea of ​​using force against her. Even after a long time, Diao Chan unconsciously relaxed her vigilance and accidentally left behind several Taking advantage of the opportunity, he did not violate the rules in the slightest - a karaoke gifted by Wang Yun was theoretically his private property.

No, why doesn't this person play his cards according to the routine?
Diao Chan, whose whole ability is based on the premise that "there is no man in the world who is not lustful", feels like she has been hit by cotton wool, unable to perform at all, so she can only choose to face Xu Zimao with a professional fake smile, and then find a way to get rid of Xu Zimao. His women started to use it, but who knew that this move would also fail!
Lu Lingqi has a restless temper and never likes to stay in the backyard; Cai Yan is a quiet lady in front of outsiders and rarely leaves the attic.

In this way, Diao Chan's only opponent is that extraordinary woman.

Not to mention whether you can win the battle, but the start of facing the big boss is not very good. If you lose unfortunately, you will be given away or sold.
Simply terrified!
However, even the in-fighting scene in the backyard that Diao Chan expected did not happen. Except for Xu Zimao, no one paid attention to her at all. Diao Chan experienced the feeling of being ignored for the first time since she grew up.

It was rare for Liu Ying not to have to deal with government affairs. He just wanted to enjoy the time spent at home with Xu Zimao, just like before.

To be precise, Her Royal Highness the Princess's recent interest is focused on practicing cooking skills. As for the new Diao Chan girl, she is not as important as the daily dinner.

She had already reminded Xu Zimao, and that was enough.

As the dignified princess, Liu Ying never felt that Diao Chan was a threat to him, no matter how beautiful she was. This was not only due to her status and appearance, but also her trust in Xu Zimao. If a good-looking girl appeared randomly, she could shake her and her relationship. Because of Xu Zimao's relationship, her eyes were long in vain.

"However," Liu Ying, who was focused on scientific research in the kitchen, suddenly stopped what he was doing and whispered to himself, as if something had occurred to him, "Xu Zimao does seem to have some differences with that girl Diao Chan."

Of course she could tell that Xu Zimao was taking the initiative to show kindness, but that kind of gesture was too simple and direct, and it didn't seem like he was interested in others - it was more like taking care of some stray kittens and puppies, less so. Indispensable desire and temptation.

What's even more strange is that the Diao Chan girl seems to be very fond of this trick. She has been peaceful and peaceful these days without causing any trouble, which surprised Liu Ying who was paying attention to her.

But that's okay, but if Xu Zimao is really an expert in love, maybe Miss Diao Chan will have to show off her skills.

"What two strange people they are." After scooping a spoonful of chicken soup into her mouth and sipping the taste, Her Royal Highness the Princess sprinkled a large handful of salt into the soup cauldron without hesitation.These salts were steamed and sifted by Xu Zimao, and they were crystal clear and white. However, after a meal, the weight was much less. Out of the spirit of scientific exploration, she decided to put more salt.
During the time that Xu Jiashu was focusing on improving Diao Chan's favorability, the external situation also changed a lot, and new text descriptions emerged, attracting his attention.

[Military power is unstable, Li Ru proposed to marry Dong Bai to the emperor, but was rejected]

Dong Mansion.

From Li Ru's perspective, the most dangerous time has passed.

Not long after Dong Zhuo was assassinated at that time, the Xiliang army was likely to fall apart at any time. He chose a strong man to cut off his wrist and return to the court. He immediately blocked the news and took over the city defense of Chang'an, stabilizing the situation. Then he adopted the tactic of encroaching step by step, disbanded the charity, and strictly monitored the soldiers. People's movements to prevent them from connecting in tandem, and after all the officials in the court became silent, the government was transferred to the hands of the hussar general Dong Min.

Since the previous plan was successfully completed, it is natural that the power obtained should be legitimated.

The best method is undoubtedly to deeply bind the emperor of the Han family to the Dong family, that is, to become a foreign relative.

Under the influence of hundreds of years of political practice in the Han Dynasty, everyone agreed that relatives were born to be in power and could exercise imperial power until the emperor came of age. This was basically a matter of course, and no one would have any doubts about it - even history Boss Cao, who was on the throne, dealt with the incident after the Yidai Zhao incident by marrying his daughter to Emperor Xian Liu Xie and taking the title of head of state.

Relatives are the second legitimacy under the imperial power, and this is what the Dong family lacks most now.First, he used his power to occupy the position, then used his status as a relative to gain recognition, and slowly reached a reconciliation with the scholar group. After marrying Liu Xie, the only legitimate emperor, the Dong family was not only able to be safe, but also continued to be in power. !

For Li Ru, although the situation left by Dong Zhuo was difficult, he finally solved it.

perhaps.

"What?" Seeing Dong Bai bow his head and remain silent, Li Ru thought he was shy and tried to persuade him: "The emperor is wise and wise, but he is five or six years younger than you, so it won't be a problem."

What a great idea!

The power of the queen of the Han Dynasty was not small. With the Xiliang army in her hands, her little princess would undoubtedly have the power of the emperor and keep Liu Xie as a puppet for the rest of her life.

"." Under Li Ru's gaze, Dong Bai shook his head vigorously, "I won't marry."

She didn't explain the reason - it would be too outrageous to say Xu Zimao's name in front of Uncle Wenyou at this time.

"Don't worry about the emperor's revenge when he comes of age." Li Ru still advised himself: "He is less than ten years old, and there is no one around him who can be used. Besides, the Han Dynasty has declined so much. If he agrees, his life will be safe. If he doesn't If you are obedient, you may not even be able to save your chance of adulthood!”

After the death of his father-in-law, he promoted his most favored and smartest granddaughter to the supreme position, truly allowing the Dong family of Longyou to enter the family and become a powerful family. No matter how he looked at it, Li Ru could not see anything wrong with this arrangement. place.

"The family is regarded as rebellious by the whole world, and it cannot be changed by a child." Dong Bai still refused to let go. She looked up at Li Ru, "Liu Bian died unexpectedly and could only be buried in the tomb of Zhao Zhong, the official of Zhongchang. Wen You Doesn’t uncle know? Killing his brother and marrying his younger brother, such strange things have never been heard of in ancient times!"

It was as if the boomerang thrown out a long time ago came back - and hit his head. As the murderer of Liu Bian, Li Ru opened his mouth but did not refute.

He deliberately ignored two difficulties with this plan.

First, now that the empire is falling apart, ministers who are still loyal to the emperor are rare. If the emperor marries the Dong family, it will only cause the Han Dynasty to lose its remaining prestige. In this way, the legitimacy of the Dong family has indeed increased, but not much; second, Dong Bai needs to marry an enemy, and the culprit of the enmity between the two happens to be himself.

"If that's the case, then forget it."

Li Ru sighed and raised his hand to pick up a roll of bamboo slips.

After long hours of high-intensity work, his health was deteriorating. Fortunately, after training, Dong Bai was now able to share some lower-priority tasks with scholars with relatively low threats - such as Wang Yun, who had defected for a long time. He and Xun You, who were as low-key as Heizi, were replaced by Dong Bai who was responsible for regular surveillance.

In this era, monitoring can only rely on eyesight. In addition, precious manpower must be allocated first to scholars like Zheng Tai who have been in the world and raised retainers. The frequency of monitoring Wang Yun and Xun You is not high, and they are often sent every few days. Here comes some trivial information, but this kind of low-value information is the most common. It is really beyond the power of Li Ru to handle it now.

"Uncle Wenyou," Dong Bai frowned and looked for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Are Han Sui and Ma Teng reliable?"

"Ma Teng looks loyal, but in reality he is cunning and shameless." Li Ru recalled for a moment and replied: "On the contrary, Han Sui likes to use small tricks to be honest, but he can get a glimpse of the big picture."

This is what’s really great about Korean dating.

When he first entered the office of Luoyang, he was one of the scholars who advised He Jin to kill the eunuchs. As a native of Jincheng, Liangzhou, he coincided with Yuan Benchu. After He Jin refused to persuade him, this person saw that The nature of the butcher general's straw bag was deduced from Dahan Pills, and he invited himself back to Liangzhou.

In the same year, Han Sui was half pushed and half killed in the Qiang Beigong Boyu's rebellion, and has since become a staunch veteran rebel.

Dong Bai nodded and continued to ask: "Is there a place to hide soldiers near Chang'an?"

"Shanglin Garden in the Former Han Dynasty", knowing the surrounding mountains and terrain is the basic skill of a counselor, Li Ru answered fluently: "In the past, Emperor Wu used it for hunting and training troops, and built a large palace. Now it has been abandoned for a long time, and it can hide troops."

Of course, troops can be hidden. Shanglin Garden was originally the residence of the Yulin Army of the Western Han Dynasty.

"Stop the news and let Han Sui secretly station himself in Shanglin Garden." Dong Bai put down the bamboo slips in his hands and said seriously, "It seems that something big is going to happen."
