I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 74 The wind and rain are like darkness (VIP cannot be issued now)

As an angel, it was the eunuch Zuo Zu who announced the edict to Wang Fen.

He had suffered a defeat at Yangxu earlier and knew that Wang Fen was as famous as Yangxu. Although he did not get the order to exempt Wang Fen from the gift money and needed to ask for the gift money, his attitude was much better.

Then he discovered that Wang Fen was not as sinister as Yang Xu. He didn't even refuse the gift money, but just said that he would make some preparations.

Zuo Zuo only felt that there was a gap between celebrities! Look at Wang Fen, he's so easy to talk to, but he's not as stubborn as Yang Xu.

He became more and more amiable and did not put on the airs of an angel.

Zuo Zuo didn't know that Wang Fen, who was opposite him, was almost scared to death.

Wang Fen thought the plan had been exposed the first time she saw the angel.

Especially when I saw Zuo Zuo smiling, I felt like there was something hidden in his smile. I'm afraid that the other party will take out the shackles in the next second and say, "What happened to you has happened!"

After finally dealing with the angel, Wang Fen immediately called for Chen Yi, Xu You, and Xiang Kai, who had been at his house, to discuss with them.

These three people knew that Wang Fen was going to be summoned to Luoyang, and they were also very panicked. It was Xu You who took the lead in calming people down: "Don't panic too much. In this situation, we need to send someone immediately to recover yesterday's memorial."

Wang Fen immediately sent someone to chase him. After being comforted by Xu You, he calmed down a little and said, "Tao Qiuhong and Hua Xin are both famous people in Pingyuan. They don't think they will report us. Zhou Jing is in the military camp. I need to ask him." Have you informed others of your plans?”

Then he sent someone to look for Zhou Jing at his house. However, an hour later, the clerk sent by Wang Fen came to reply and asked first if Zhou Jing had arrived.

Wang Fen was puzzled, but heard the clerk reply: "Returning to the envoy, for some reason, Zhou Zhizong heard that an angel came to the envoy's house, and he disappeared after using the toilet on the pretext of going to the toilet."

After hearing this, Wang Fen's eyes darkened.

When he woke up, the clerk was no longer there, and Chen Yi was taking care of him in front of the bed. Xu You also came over.

Wang Fen regained some sense and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

Chen Yi replied: "About half an hour."

Wang Fen sighed and said: "Now that I am recruiting soldiers privately, I will not be spared. However, there is a huge difference between the crimes of private recruiting and treason. If I die, it will be because of the crime of private recruiting. Everyone, please find a way to retreat. If you encounter Zhou Jing, Avoid future troubles!"

Because Chen Yi was Chen Fan's son, Wang Fen specifically asked Chen Yi to keep his name anonymous.

Chen Yi, Xu You and others dispersed and fled.

After sending his accomplice away, Wang Fen still held the chance and left with his seal. From Ye County, Zhizhou, he fled eastward to Pingyuan County, intending to seek refuge with Tao Qiuhong and Hua Xin.

Zuo Zuo was originally waiting for Wang Fen to raise money, but suddenly he heard that Wang Fen left his seal and ribbon and left.

He is particularly aggrieved and does not want to give gift money. We can discuss it slowly. If it really doesn’t work, it’s okay to just give him a piece of clothing. How could he leave without saying a word?

He sighed again: There are also gaps among celebrities!

When Zuo Zuo was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation, officials from the Wei State where Ye County was located jointly inspected and reported that Wang Fen, the governor, had falsely claimed that Black Mountain bandits were disturbing the people and privately recruited county soldiers. In fact, because of Liu Yu, the Black Mountain bandits have been very stable in the past year.

Zuo Zuo instantly became energetic.

Ye County and Luoyang are almost separated by Hanoi County. After all, the people sent by Wang Fen failed to stop the memorial about the banditry in Heishan. The impeachment of Wang Fen also arrived in Luoyang three days later.

Liu Bian didn't expect that Wang Fen was still such a good person.

But even so, many ministers in the court firmly believed that Wang Fen must have a reason for recruiting troops, and the Black Mountain bandits might have bribed and coerced Wei officials.

The imperial court then sent Yilang Jia Cong to take over as the governor of Jizhou and investigate Wang Fen's recruitment of troops.

Liu Bian was deeply impressed by Jia Cong.

Before Jia Cong left, Liu Bian summoned him alone. It took a long time for Jia Cong to leave.

By this time, Wang Fen had already fled to Pingyuan County.

However, Tao Qiuhong and Hua Xin, who knew Wang Fen's plan, saw Wang Fen fleeing and did not dare to take him in. They only gave him some money in private. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Wang Fen committed suicide.

……

It's June, and Emperor Ling's tour plan is almost ready.

There was no strange celestial phenomenon this time, but the plan was forced to stop due to the weather.

Strong winds uprooted trees in Henan, and along with the strong winds came continuous rain.

Liu Bian stood under the eaves of his dormitory, frowning, watching the raindrops falling to the ground tilted by the strong wind.

It brought him a little bit of coolness.

It also made his mind clearer.

It was windy and rainy, and the heavy rain had been falling for two full days. Although it had subsided, it showed no signs of stopping.

Due to the weather, the road was difficult to travel, and Liu Bian did not know whether there was a continuous heavy rain far away from Luoyang.

Guo Zhi, who was serving him, put on a cloak for him and persuaded him: "Your Highness, the summer solstice has passed, and the farmers' fields have been harvested. Heavy rains for days are not uncommon in previous years. Your Highness does not need to worry so much."

"Did there be such strong winds during the heavy rains in previous years?"

Guo Zhi couldn't answer.

According to the simple thinking of people at the time, such strong winds uprooting trees and continuous heavy rains were warnings from God and a sign of political immorality.

"Go to Tai Shi Ling and check the records of past disasters such as winds and floods!"

Liu Bian took the opportunity to pick up the umbrella placed aside and stepped out of the dormitory first. Guo Zhi quickly called for others to follow him.

He suspected that even if this situation was not a typhoon landing, it must be the abnormal weather that was common in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Both meant disaster, and what he was most worried about was floods.

Liu Bian passed through the forbidden area, came to the inner court, and went straight to the chancellery. Taishi Ling's government was located outside the palace, and the most convenient method was to use the Shangshutai.

Because of the wind and rain, there were a lot less memorials and official documents to be processed at the Chancery Desk.

As Lu Zhi placed the relevant records sent by Taishi in front of Liu Bian, his worries seemed to have become a reality.

At this time, the theory of telepathy between heaven and man was still prevalent. Strong winds uprooting trees and floods were recorded separately, and were closely related to politics.

Liu Bian found records about strong winds in Kyoto and looked for floods in relevant years.

In June of the second year of Emperor An's reign, forty strong winds uprooted trees and floods in Kyoto and the prefectures. In May of the third year, there was a strong wind in Kyoto, and ninety-six catalpa trees were uprooted on the southern suburb road, causing flooding.

In the third year of Yanguang's reign, there were thirty-six strong winds in Kyoto and the prefectures that uprooted trees and floods, killing people and damaging crops...

Liu Bian found a total of seven records of strong winds uprooting trees in Kyoto, four of which were clearly floods.

In the first year of Yanping (Yongchu) when Emperor An succeeded to the throne, the record of strong winds was less than a month away from the subsequent floods in the forty-one counties.

In the eyes of the people of the time, these records indicated that the ruler had lost his moral character and that the Three Dukes would be dismissed. In Liu Bian's eyes, this was clear evidence that the climate had begun to change dramatically again.

The most recent record of strong wind uprooting trees in Kyoto occurred in April of the second year of Jianning in this dynasty. Hundreds of trees were uprooted on the suburban roads. Although there was no flood, there were hail and storms.

The winter wheat harvest in the north has been completed. This heavy rain will not affect the harvest. However, once a flood is formed that can destroy houses, most of the harvest of the past six months will be wasted based on the people's storage methods.
