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

Chapter 8 Storm Center
The air leakage in the house has been repaired.

The granary was also filled with grain exchanged for dried meat.

Xu Jiashu also used some dried meat to order a small single bed from the carpenter in the village. Seeing that winter was about to come, it would always feel very cold sleeping on the bed.

After confirming that everything was ready, Xu Jiashu packed his luggage and prepared to leave this place.

It’s no longer time to just arrive and turn into a corpse in the simulation at every turn.

Now Xu Jiashu is fully prepared, has food and clothing, and has gained a lot of experience in surviving in the wild. Going to Luoyang is just like a long trip for him.

He wanted to laugh when he thought of the endless dried meat Chu Lan gave him.

By the time the cot is ready and delivered to her, she should already be in Luoyang by then.
In order to save some simulation times for future adventures, Xu Jiashu did not use the love simulator during this period and stayed at Chu Lan's house for the reason of waiting to share the spoils.

After spending so many days together, it would be a lie to say that Xu Jiashu didn't have any strange feelings in his heart.

But, who wouldn’t get excited every time they go out and take the subway these days?Playing a certain sound can make your heart beat 1 times a minute.

It's better to pull him down.
Chu Lan didn't know what he was thinking, not to mention that even if someone was interested in him, Xu Jiashu couldn't stay in Fengchi Village because of this.

He already knew through simulations what would happen if he stayed.

To him, a riddle was no longer interesting if he knew the answer to it.

At least he doesn't want to live according to the description in the text, and be the ancestor of the Xu family in Luoyang. That way he will live his life too much like an NPC.

Before leaving, Xu Jiashu couldn't help but open the simulator.

[Remaining number of simulations: 6]

[Object that can be simulated: Chu Lan]

[[Chu Lan] has been selected. Do you want to start the simulation? 】

[Current relationship: love is growing (budding)]

That's enough!
With his curiosity satisfied, Xu Jiashu was in a good mood. He casually stopped the simulation - it was time to hit the road!

Target, Luoyang!
Xu Jiashu took a few steps ambitiously, but turned back before reaching the village entrance.

md, I almost forgot something big!
He found a stone and carved his farewell words to Chu Lan on the wall stroke by stroke:

[There will be great chaos in the world in the near future. You must form a stronghold as soon as possible to protect yourself, and if you have spare power, recruit refugees to organize production. 】

After thinking for a while, Xu Jiashu added a few words: [If you encounter bandits who you can't deal with, remember not to confront them head-on, and make more use of the terrain to deal with the enemy]

Well, I hope these words can have some effect...

[Mr. Shu stays]

Pretending to be a magic stick, Xu Jiashu flicked his head and left without looking back.

Farewell!

When Xu Jiashu left Fengchi Village and rushed to the troubled times, Luoyang, the center of the storm, was peaceful and peaceful, at least that's what most people thought.

After all, when was the Han Dynasty not like this?Anyone with a little knowledge knows that the same script has been performed countless times:

The emperor died in the prime of life, his relatives assumed imperial power, and the eunuchs and scholars were temporarily dormant;
Slowly, when the emperor grew up, he pulled a group of close eunuchs and scholars to seize the power of his relatives;

When the imperial power returned to the emperor, there would be an endless struggle for power between the eunuchs and the scholars;
Then the emperor died in his prime and everything started over again.
Over the years, this is how the Han Dynasty came, and it has survived well, hasn't it?

It's just that this time, the general He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei played the role of their relatives as acting emperors. It was no different.

Yes, perhaps in the eyes of the people of the time, Grand Tutor Yuan Wei was more like a powerful minister - Sikong Dong Zhuo is your disciple Yuan Wei, right?Was it you, Yuan Wei, who personally untied the seal of the deposed emperor Liu Bian and gave it to King Chenliu Liu Xie?
Although there are some new tricks to abolish the establishment this time, at least in the eyes of the people in Luoyang City, the new round of power transfer has been completed. The big man should be able to live a peaceful life until the little emperor Liu Xie grows up.

The new emperor's reign name, Yonghan, has almost the same meaning.

But before he officially lived a peaceful life, Dong Zhuo did one more thing: he killed Queen Mother He who was demoted to Yong'an Palace.

Although there is no evidence, the palace guards are all people who speak Liangzhou dialect. Who else could be the murderer behind the scenes besides Dong Zhuo?
The reaction of the court officials was that wearing white clothes to attend the funeral of Queen Mother He was not in line with the etiquette of mourning the Queen Mother.

The meaning behind doing this is actually very obvious: you have to eradicate the roots of someone else's son. Everyone can understand it, but you should not treat everyone as a fool.

In order to appease the scholars, or in return, Dong Zhuo, who was transferred to the rank of Taiwei, together with Situ Huang Wan and Sikong Yang Biao, brought the 鈇锧 to the court to submit a letter, requesting that Chen Fan and Dou, who were convicted as traitors in the first year of Jianning, Wu He rehabilitated many party members who were arrested and killed in the "Second Party Rebellion" the following year.

The young emperor Liu Xie (Yuan Wei) acted accordingly, restored the titles of Chen Fan and others, and promoted their descendants to officials.

When the scholars heard this, they were greatly excited.

You know, lifting the prison terms from the party and rehabilitating Chen Fan and Dou Wu were major events that scholars had been clamoring for for decades. If Dong Zhuo directly helped them realize their dreams, then no one would delve into the matter of him killing the Queen Mother. .

In addition, Dong Zhuo also personally promoted a group of scholars as his staff, such as Zhou Ao and Wu Qiong who had previously asked Yuan Shao for appointments, as well as He Yong and Zheng Tai, former officials of the General's Office.

Perhaps because the move of appointing officials to Yuan Shao was effective, Dong Zhuo followed this example and appointed Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Niao, Zhang Zi, Kong Rong, Ying Shao, Zhang Miao and others to serve as local governors and other important positions.

Even Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others who were disgusted with him for abandoning their official positions at the beginning, Dong Taiwei did not ignore the past grievances and conferred the position of prefect as a sign of reconciliation.

At the same time, scholars in the field were also called to Luoyang as officials one after another. Among these people were Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji, Cai Yong, etc., all of whom were domestic celebrities whose prestige was greater than that of the moment.

Among them, Xun Shuang was the most famous. He had long been known as "the eight dragons of the Xun family, with unparalleled kindness and wisdom". Later, he abandoned his official position to avoid disaster and lived in seclusion to study for more than ten years. At that time, he was called "Shuo Ru".

After one operation, if we ignore the murder of Queen Mother He, our Dong Taiwei will look like an amiable neighbor uncle - he will give whatever the scholars want, and he will recruit whomever the scholars admire. Who enters the court as an official?

Dong Zhuo had only one purpose for spreading his official hat everywhere - to gain support.

As long as you scholars honestly acknowledge me as a lieutenant from a good family, I can become what you want.

Aren’t you going to kill the eunuchs?
All the beardless people in the palace are dead.

Don’t you want to lift the shackles of the party and become officials?

No problem, two thousand stones are presented to me with both hands.

As long as you don't challenge my power, Dong Zhongying, and quietly eat the portion I gave you, everyone will be happy.

It's that simple.

So, when Xu Jiashu, wearing a bearskin hat, walked into Luoyang City in late autumn, the place was filled with an atmosphere of "everything has settled."
