I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 32 I’m just a child

Early the next morning, Liu Bian learned from Liang Hu about He Jin's banquet as an official.

I also heard that Shi Wangqian, the chief of the general's office, left the table midway.

To be fair, Liu Bian's cheap uncle treated him very well in matters that did not involve eunuchs.

However, Liang Hu said that although many people knew about Wang Qian, he had not inquired about the content of the general's banquet.

Liang Hu planned to inquire after today's teaching. With his current status of teaching Liu Bian Shi Shu and Yi Lang, there are still many people who want to make friends with him.

On this day, Liu Bian returned to Changqiu Palace from Yutang Palace, but he saw Zhao Zhong waiting for him at the gate of the palace, telling Liu Bian to go to Queen He's place for dinner.

The smiling look made Liu Bian feel particularly strange.

Following Zhao Zhong to Queen He's bedroom, Liu Bian immediately noticed a girl who looked two or three years older than him sitting next to Queen He.

After being in the palace for so long, this was the first time Liu Bian saw her.

Although she was wearing palace-style clothes, the headdress on her head and the fact that she could sit next to Queen He were enough to prove that her status was extraordinary.

Seeing Liu Bian looking over as soon as he entered the door, Queen He introduced with a smile: "This is Wan'er, born in the Tang family of Yingchuan."

Tang Wan bowed and said, "Wan'er pays homage to His Highness."

Under the candlelight, Logan's cheeks were slightly red.

"No need to be polite." Liu Bian sat down in his seat, but he was thinking that this Tang Wan was probably the Tang Concubine in history.

But this is a little too early. I am obviously only twelve years old, and I am still just a child!

In history, the young emperor once made Tang Ji dance and sing before drinking poisonous wine, saying: "The king is your concubine, and she is no longer the wife of the officials and the people. If you love yourself, you will die from now on!" People at that time did not reject or even encouraged widows to remarry. However, Later Tang Ji never remarried.

Although Tang Wan's hometown Yingchuan County and Nanyang County are not in the same state, they are adjacent to each other. Queen He and Tang Wan chatted about the local customs and habits in their hometowns, and they found many similarities.

It was also mentioned that Tang Wan's father, Tang Mao, currently serves as the governor of Kuaiji, Yangzhou.

Apart from that, he didn't say anything else. Tang Wan was currently with Queen He, and Liu Bian's original expectation of Queen He personally inserting someone into him did not happen.

Although he can't do anything now.

After Liu Bian left, he returned to his residence, thought about it, and sent someone to call Guo Sheng.

When Guo Sheng arrived, he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "Is the Yingchuan Tang family related to any noble family in Nanyang?"

Guo Sheng understood what Liu Bian was asking and did not dare to hide it. He replied: "It doesn't matter. The late emperor had Zhongchang serving Tang Heng. At that time, the Nanyang Fu family was an official in Yingchuan. Tang Heng had intended to marry the Nanyang Fu family. However, Mr. Fu was rude and agreed when he was an official but broke off the engagement after leaving office."

Liu Bian nodded and asked meaningfully: "What is the relationship between Tang Heng and that person? It can't be Tang Heng's daughter."

Guo Sheng shook his head quickly: "Tang Heng's daughter later made an engagement with the Xun family of Yingchuan. She was very famous at that time! Tang Ji is Tang Heng's grandniece. Tang Heng's brother Tang Zhen was once the third Duke, and his son Tang Mao, Tang Mao's The girl is Tang Ji."

Liu Bian understood. This made sense. Tang Wan's ancestors had served as Zhongchangshi.

But...Yingchuan Xunshi?

Liu Bian suddenly remembered two names. The uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You were from the Xun family in Yingchuan!

He asked curiously: "Do you know who the Xun family is with?" Guo Sheng hesitated because he did know the name of the person. Although he was young, he was a well-known Qingliu descendant. He was instinctively worried that Liu Bian would do this. people are interested.

Tang Mao sent his daughter to the palace through the eunuch's relationship. Of course, Guo Sheng and several other ministers involved also investigated Tang Mao's family relationship.

"Does Mr. Guo not know who this person is, or does he not want me to know this person?" Liu Bian asked. Seeing that Guo Sheng didn't answer, he knew that he must not be ignorant.

Guo Sheng's heart tightened and he hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I couldn't remember my name just now, and then I remembered it."

Liu Bian helped Guo Sheng up and said, "It's okay. Why should Mr. Guo be nervous? I just asked casually."

Guo Sheng thanked Liu Bian first, and then replied: "The man's name is Xun Yu. I know it because a few years ago, party member He Yong once praised Xun Yu as 'the talent of a king'. Although he married Tang Heng's daughter, he still regarded me as Waiting for the eunuchs to become enemies..."

Guo Sheng was talking about the Qingliu scholars' undue contempt for the eunuchs, but he didn't know that Liu Bian was lamenting.

Things in this world are truly wonderful.

He originally thought that even with the help of Shi Zixiao's shield, it would be difficult to explain how he knew the young talents from all over the world, but now it was easy for him to find the bridge.

Xun Yu, history has proven to be a genuine talent for the king, but he also naively believed that Cao Cao would return power to Emperor Xian, and died of depression.

Liu Bian asked: "You said that since Xun Yu was a Qingliu, but he married the eunuch's daughter, did he divorce his wife later?"

Although Guo Sheng was disgusted with Xun Yu's lack of intimacy with eunuchs, he still replied truthfully: "I have never heard of it."

"It seems like he is a real person."

When Guo Sheng heard Liu Bian's question, he even said a few good words for Xun Yu in disguise: "Your Highness does not know that it is difficult for eunuch families to marry. He has little talent and reputation, so he will inevitably continue to be criticized by fools."

Liu Bian said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Guo and I have similar views. They both think that Xun Yu is not bad!"

Guo Sheng: You said so, what can I do? I can only express my agreement...

He also listened to Liu Bian's instructions: "Mr. Guo will send someone to deliver my letter to General Chariot and Cavalry tomorrow, asking my second uncle to recommend Xun Yu as..."

"What official position does Mr. Guo think I should recommend? I need to find an official position where I can see him often."

At this point, Guo Sheng couldn't say no. He could only suggest to Liu Bian with a grimace: "You can be the assistant minister of Huangmen, the official of the Shaofu, or the palace guard. Both of them have a rank of six hundred stones. Huang The gate servant connects the two dynasties inside and outside, and the palace guard is in charge of paper, pen, ink and the ministerial supplies. Both officials are in the inner dynasty. His Highness can be summoned when he participates in politics for five days, and he can also go out of the East Palace and enter the inner dynasty to see him."

"Then let's be the Minister of Huangmen!" Liu Bian made his decision and asked Guo Shengdao, "The scholars will definitely not hinder the recommendation of Xun Yu as an official. But do you want me to tell Mr. Zhang personally?"

Guo Sheng immediately said: "Why bother Your Highness? I will take care of it for Your Highness!"

"Very good!"

Liu Bian wrote the letter and handed it to Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng resigned in due course and went to discuss with Zhang Rang.

Liu Bian was quite satisfied and had taken care of the eunuchs. As long as Xun Yu didn't resort to refusing conscription to support himself, it was almost certain that he would become an official in the court.
