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

Chapter 216 Xu Fu

I'm super, Tang!

Xu Jiashu's expression almost collapsed when he saw that the newly added simulation object was actually the widow of the deposed emperor Liu Bian.

It seemed that not long ago, I had very naughty advice to Boss Cao, asking him to curb his habit of controlling wives, so as not to cause any regrettable accidents, but he did not expect that the boomerang would fly back so soon.

Tang Ji, the first wife of the young emperor Liu Bian.

However, because Liu Bian, the unlucky boy, was deposed after only a few months on the throne, he is generally not regarded as a member of the orthodox emperors of the Later Han Dynasty. With reference to the deposed emperor of the Former Han Dynasty, Liu He, King of Changyi, was listed in the history books. I didn't even get the treatment I deserved.

Well, it's a little unfair to compare Liu Bian and Liu He.

After all, the King of Changyi finally lived a life of ups and downs but still glory and wealth with the title of Marquis of Haihun. Even the tomb was filled with gold cakes for burial, while Liu Bian could only be hastily buried under Zhao Zhong, the constant servant. Something happened in the tomb.

Well, considering the ridiculous statement of the late Emperor Liu Hong, "Zhang Changshi is my father and Zhao Changshi is my mother," this wave can be regarded as a family reunion, and it is a prophetic statement.

A wife depends on her husband's worthiness, and conversely, her husband's baseness. Liu Bian's end was so miserable, and Tang Ji, as a widow, was naturally not much better.

Because she married the wrong person, the former queen's theoretical identity now should be "the widow of the late King Hongnong." As for why this is the theoretical identity, the reason is also very simple. No one in China cares about her life or death, and the treatment she deserves to be banned is out of the question.

So Tang Ji is Tang Ji, without any title after it, as if her marriage to Liu Bian never existed.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bian's death was a matter that was kept secret by the imperial court. In addition, the situation in the world continued to change drastically. It was difficult for the new emperor to protect himself, let alone mind his sister-in-law's business. Tang Ji was thus killed by her husband's family. Total abandonment.

Fortunately, her natal family is from the famous "Yingchuan Tang Family". Her grandfather Tang Zhen once served as the chief minister in the Ling Emperor's dynasty, and her father Tang Mao also served as the prefect of Kuaiji. They are considered the first-class family in the entire Yingchuan. Taking advantage of the chaos of war, he took his legitimate daughter home.

"Zhicai," Xu Jiashu calmly confirmed the position of Miss Lu behind him, and then asked in a low voice, "Did you know that Tang Ji, the widow of the deposed emperor, has returned to Yingchuan County?"

"I never inquire about such things," Xi Zhicai shook his head, "If there's anything I want to know, I usually just ask Wen Ruo directly. I'll probably be able to tell you the reason."

"Oh?" Xu Jiashu asked curiously: "The Xun family is so well-informed that he even knows such things?"

"It's not just the Xun family." When talking about these top families, Xi Zhicai looked quite fascinated: "The Yingchuan family has been each other's master and apprentice for generations. They are closely connected. They are all related to each other. There has never been any secret. .”

To put it simply, there is a small group in Yingchuan that is both prosperous and destructive. As long as you join this group, you will get a ticket to the top aristocratic circle of the Han Dynasty.

As long as you are a core disciple, everything from your child prodigy deeds to your character evaluation when you grow up will be arranged for you. In addition, there is no shortage of guidance from famous teachers. As long as you are a person with a normal IQ, you will not worry about being an official.

When you enter the officialdom, you have the support of noble people all the way. If you make some achievements, your reputation and official position will soar like a rocket. There is no problem of underappreciating talents.

Entering an official position with a minimum guarantee and an upper limit of three public servants is the true glory and wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation!

But obviously, Xi Zhicai's family is not part of this small group. If you come to ask about Tang Ji rashly, you will probably be invited out with dignity - if you are not decent, Tang will help you.

"If Xun Wen is still in Jizhou, I'm afraid it's not easy to ask questions." Xu Jiashu said with a bitter smile: "Not only the Xun family, but also the Guo family and the Xin family followed them to seek refuge northward. There are not many high-ranking families left in Yingchuan."

Looking at the current desolate situation in Yingchuan, we know that Xun Yu's decision to run away was undoubtedly very correct. Even Xun's ability to obtain the current position as the leader of the Yingchuan family has a lot to do with this decision - taking everyone with him Isn’t it a huge favor to have a successful escape together?

"Not necessarily," Xi Zhicai twirled his beard and said, "The Chen family didn't go north with her. Zi Mao really wants to visit Princess Tang. You can ask them to come forward and be the middleman."

There are many high gates in Yingchuan, but there are also gaps between the high gates.

Families such as the Yanling Yu family and the Changshe Zhong family, which would be very successful in the future, could only be ranked second-rate at this time, with the Xun and Chen families being the first among the top families.

Needless to say, the Xun family has accumulated many generations of experience. Xun Shuang ascended to the throne and became famous all over the world. Xun Yu followed closely behind and steadily took over.

Before the rise of the Xun family, the position of leader of the Yingchuan family had always been occupied by the Chen family.

Chen Shi is the Chen Taiqiu in "Shishuo Xinyu" who made an appointment with his friends to go out together, but then let them go because his friends were late.

This man is the most virtuous person in the world, and he is the leader of a generation of celebrities. Xun Shuang, Jia Biao, Li Ying, Han Rong, Wang Lie, Guan Ning, Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, etc. all studied with him, and this man is very lively. At the age of eighty-four, spanning four generations of scholars, his reputation is unparalleled.

His son Chen Ji, the protagonist in the article who scolded Uncle Shi at a young age, in order to avoid disaster, asked himself to be sent to serve as the prime minister of the plains. He relied on the terrain advantage of the plains across both banks of the Yellow River to resist The Yellow Turbans were raging, but it was a pity that Qingzhou and his party were in too much of a hurry to see any of them.

The next generation is Chen Qun who has not yet become an official.

A closer look shows that the Chen family is also full of talents and has an outstanding reputation - that is, Chen Shi passed away a few years ago. Otherwise, the Chen family's position in Yingchuan is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no chance of any challenge.

As a well-established family with deeper roots than the Xun family, the Chen family did not choose to flee north together, but stayed in their hometown. There is a high probability that they would choose to bet on both sides. The head of the family, Chen Ji, would be an official in Qingzhou, while Chen Qun would choose an opportunity to become an official. The leader of Yuzhou.

Historically, the governor of Yuzhou selected by the Chen family was called Liu Bei.

"Ms. Chen"

After listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, Xu Jiashu had a little understanding of the transcendent status of the Chen family - no wonder the disguised hereditary thing of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was proposed by Chen Qun. It turns out that this family is pure old money.

With the example of Xun Yu in the past, it can be basically concluded that for a long-established family like the Chen family, unless Xu Jiashu becomes the governor of Yuzhou and becomes a veritable chief official of Yingchuan County, he will definitely not be able to abduct Chen Qun.

In this case, it is debatable whether it is necessary to spend time visiting. After all, I can't delay my entry to Sichuan, and I don't have much time to travel around.

It’s better to find a place to simulate it first and then make a decision. Xi Zhicai saw that Xu Jiashu suddenly stopped asking questions, so he regarded these words as just a casual chat between the two of them. He turned to look around and sighed with regret: "I didn't expect that I had only been away from home for more than a year. Yingchuan The county has actually become like this."

"The millet is separated, the seedlings of the rice. They are walking slowly and slowly, and the center is shaking." Xi Zhicai looked up and murmured: "Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say that I am worried. What do I ask for? Who is this in the long sky?"

Who else could it be, Yuan Shu?

Even when the power of the Yellow Turbans was at its peak, Yingchuan would not be reduced to the situation it is now with ten rooms and nine empty houses. Since the great sage and mentor claims to be a savior of the Han Dynasty, he still has to show some respect.

In comparison, Yuan Shu, as the governor of Nanyang, encouraged Sun Jian to fight for the land of Yuzhou, which is unjust and unreasonable. He had a one-shot deal in mind, and even taxing him in one breath was considered a basic operation fifty years later.

Therefore, in order to avoid Yuan Shu's people, the envoy decided to stay overnight in an empty village early and continue on their way the next day - mainly because Xu Jiashu wanted to find a place to simulate first and then make plans.

It was getting dark. After Xu Jiashu took a simple shower, he lay on the couch and was about to open the simulator after a long time. Suddenly, a slender and graceful figure appeared outside the door.

"Zimao," Lu Lingqi said coyly, "I don't want to stay with those Liangzhou people, so I'd better sleep next door to you."

Why is this girl still cursing?

Xu Jiashu straightened up helplessly. There had been no movement from the simulator before. In addition, most of the journey was spent camping in the wild. It was inconvenient for Lu Lingqi to live close to other people, so she was allowed to be his neighbor.

Lieutenant General, this is what he was originally supposed to do.

But now it was time to find a clean place to conduct the simulation, so he quietly arranged for Lu Lingqi and Dong Bai to be neighbors and sent them away at once. Unexpectedly, Miss Lu came running over anyway.

This is a fool's errand. This girl takes the initiative to apply to sleep next door to her. If she refuses, she will be worse than a beast.

"Miss Lu, those Liangzhou people should be very impressed by you, right?"

Xu Jiashu decided to make a final struggle.

Not to mention anything else, Lu Lingqi's archery skills were enough to make the group of Liangzhou men who only knew how to charge with their sabers admire them. No one dared to touch her in close combat, not even that cow. The coaxing captain is no match for her even if he dismounts and fights on foot.

"I", Lu Lingqi walked around the door for a while and said unreasonably, "Anyway, I'm just scared, please open the door for me!"

Where are there so many whys?

Isn't it natural for a weak woman to be afraid of a strong man?

Miss Lu said angrily, this person knows how to behave well when he gets an advantage.

Hearing this, Xu Jiashu sighed helplessly, stood up and prepared to open the door for Miss Lu - if you sleep next door, sleep next door. At worst, just be careful. If you really make someone anxious, you can't just open the door to get rid of it. .

At this time, in the empty house on the opposite side of the road.

"How do the officers and soldiers know our whereabouts?" Shi Tao leaned against the window, looking around with his eyes exposed, and asked his companions nearby in a low voice. The nervous expression on his face could not be concealed, "Yuan Zhi, what should we do now?"

His friend named Xu Fu just took action to avenge someone's hatred and killed an unknown dandy. He has been wanted by the government. Even major events such as Dong Zhuo's rebellion and the coalition's rebellion against Dong did not bother Yingchuan. The Wanted is slightly more relaxed.

Even though Xu Fu smeared his face with earthy white powder and wore his hair loose to hide his identity, he was still caught once and was even almost dismembered in public. Fortunately, Shi Tao gathered a group of knight-errant brothers and successfully robbed the execution ground, saving Xu Fu's life.

The two of them were originally hiding in various villages, avoiding the eyes and ears of the court and big families, and barely surviving. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu sent people to search everywhere, leaving a large area of ​​rural villages abandoned, and there was no place to even eat. There is nothing left to rob even if you give up your face and rob.

Together, Xu Fu and Shi Tao planned to go south to Jingzhou and start a new life in a different place. However, they found that a group of heavily armed elite officers and soldiers suddenly came to the abandoned village where they settled. The two did not dare to move and stayed in a broken house. Prepare to run away when it gets dark.

"This man actually has a maid to sleep with him. He must be the commander of this cavalry army." Xu Fu gritted his teeth and pulled out the sword from his waist. "For the current plan, only by kidnapping this dog officer can you and I brothers have a way to live!" "

"."

Shi Tao was silent - for the sake of loyalty, he not only robbed the execution ground, but also had to go to Jingzhou to escape. If he followed Xu Fu and committed another major crime, he might not be able to go to Jingzhou.

"Guangyuan", Xu Fu, or Xu Shu, held his hand, "Xu Yuanzhi will never forget the grace of saving his life. Don't forget it this time. Take advantage of me to kidnap the enemy general and cause chaos, and escape from here."

"treasure."

After saying these handsome lines, Xu Shu picked up the long sword and took advantage of the night to touch near Xu Jiashu's residence.

The last time he was caught by the government, he almost turned into a pile of broken bones and flesh, but now he could not repeat the same mistake no matter what. Once he had experienced the powerlessness of being cut off by others, he would never want to experience it again.

Ranger, in other places, such as Bashu or Youzhou, may be a promising job. At least Gan Ning and Liu Bei did a pretty good job, but in Yingchuan, there are big bosses everywhere, and they are related to each other. In such a place, engaging in chivalrous acts is like lighting up lanterns in the toilet.

Only power is the only talisman. He has understood this, but it is too late. Xu Fu is destined to wander around with the reputation of a murderer and a fugitive in his future life. Before, he could be said to be a chivalrous man, but after tonight, The right and wrong can no longer be explained clearly.

After taking a deep breath and preparing himself mentally to kill innocent people indiscriminately, Xu Shu came to the door and prepared to take action.

Suddenly, an arrow penetrated the thin door panel and struck straight at his right hand holding the sword. If he hadn't reacted quickly and let go of his hand the moment he heard the wood was pierced, Xu Fu's right hand would definitely not have been able to use it. wanted.

He raised his head and looked at the door that hid murderous intent in shock, but saw that the door was getting closer and closer to his face.

boom--

The entire door fell down on him.

"Be honest." Xu Jiashu kicked down the door together with him, pressed Xu Shu tightly with his knees, and asked sternly: "Who asked you to come?"
