"Puleng" A carrier pigeon landed in front of the imperial study in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it is the message that follows the eagle guard who is close to the prince secretly."

Xunzi took down the letter from the carrier pigeon's leg and handed it to Liu He respectfully.

Liu He took a look, just because of a lot of military and political affairs, upset, and caused by the full face of sadness, in the twinkling of an eye he then relaxed.

"Ha ha ha This son of a bitch still has this ability. "

Xun Yu and Qian Li were very puzzled and asked, "what has the great prince done to please your majesty so much?"

Liu He waved the letter in his wave: "this guy imitated my second brother and I, and they even went all the way to Langya County, Xuzhou, and found a man to form a golden orchid and accept a second younger brother."

"Oh?" Qian Li was surprised and said, "the great prince has always looked up to the top of his head, but he is rarely submissive. What kind of person can he take a fancy to and condescend to make obeisance to him?"

Liu he chuckled: "this man's surname is Zhuge, and his single name is a bright word. The word is Kong Ming. He is only seventeen years old. He is a descendant of the Langya Zhuge family."

"Langya Zhuge family?" Xunzi replied.

"What? Have you heard anything about it? "

"I know something about it. The Zhuge family of Langya is one of the famous families in Langya county. Zhugefeng, the ancestor of the family, served as the commander of Sili in the previous dynasty when Emperor Xiaoyuan was Emperor Xiaoyuan. During the following two hundred years, there were many official posts, such as prefect, school captain, county magistrate and county magistrate. Zhuge Liang, who was known as the first child prodigy of Qing and Xu, has been famous many years ago. Once he has read the classics, he can recite them like a stream and understand their meaning

"Is there such a genius in the world? I'm afraid it's just an error and exaggeration. " Qian Li didn't believe it.

Xun Yu said with a smile, "I haven't met this person, so I haven't made any textual research. However, Zhuge's family declined after his father, Zhuge Li, died of illness many years ago. All the brothers of Zhuge Liang have been brought up by his uncle. "

Qian Li had a clear look: "no wonder he took the word when he was only 17 years old. It must be that his father took it in advance before his death."

"Well, I know that. Last year, Zhuge Xuan, the uncle of Zhuge Liang, intended to bring his family to Luoyang to serve the imperial court. However, he was robbed and rescued by Liu Bei. Therefore, he was ordered to work with Xuzhou. However, Zhuge Liang was not yet an adult, so he stayed in Yangdu. I didn't expect to have such a fate with ZHENG'ER. "

"ZHUGE Xuan was not a great talent, so I didn't pay too much attention to the news at that time. Now it seems that Liu Bei had a different idea at that time."

Qian Li got angry.

Liu he was magnanimous and shook his hand: "it's all right. There's no need to worry about Liu Bei. As long as Yuanzhi and others can control Qingzhou, with the strength of Xuzhou, if there is a slight change, it can be destroyed. "

Xunzi said, "Your Majesty is right. However, before that, it should be quick to take the prince and Zhuge Liang back to Luoyang. Otherwise, if the current situation changes, it will not be good for the great prince to be in danger. "

"Well, it should be. Reply to feiyingwei, take my personal letter, and order Zhenger to return to Luoyang as soon as possible with Zhuge Liang. In addition, send a message to the third younger brother to tell Zhenger the news, so as not to get angry in Shenyang City. "

"I obey my orders. But... " Xunzi wanted to talk but stopped.

Liu he asked, "what's the matter? What else? "

Xunzi bowed and said: "two days ago, dozens of courtiers including situ Wangyun and other officials jointly denounced the killing of the fallen soldiers in shenyangcheng pit. Although there was no mention of the great prince, it was clear that the words were for the prince. Although he was temporarily suppressed by his majesty, the minister thought that Wang situ and others would never give up. "

Qian Li also agreed: "this seems to be a matter of killing and demoting soldiers, but it is actually to fight for the crown prince's name. The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor. He has a good character. If he has not made any big mistakes, he will not be the grandson of Wang situ

Now the crown prince's position is still uncertain. If other ministers dare to discuss this matter in front of Liu He, even if he is not punished, he will inevitably be reprimanded. This is also the reason why Wang Yun and others can only use the pretext of killing and surrender to fight secretly.

However, Xunzi and Qian Li are close ministers of Liu He, which are naturally different from others.

Xunzi then said: "now the great prince has no wings in the imperial court. Once this matter is stirred up by Wang Yun and others, there are only a few people who are afraid that the emperor can speak for the emperor. If your majesty really has the heart to make a great prince, you need to prepare early. "

"Well, Wen ruo's words, I have written them down."

Liu He's voice just dropped, Gong saner came in: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager, please."

"Oh? Why did the empress of mother come to me suddenly

Gong san'er replied: "reply to your majesty, it is the Marquis of Shenyun Township who has brought his wife into the palace. Now it is in the palace of the Empress Dowager."

Shen Yun Xiang Hou is Zhen Yi, Zhen Mi's father. Last year, he presented a paper book, a great feat, and was granted the title.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis is is coming here, and I am here for the wedding of the eldest prince." Xunzi road."Well, it's a coincidence. I'm looking for him."

Liu he stood up and took Gong san'er to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

On a certain official road in Qingzhou, Jinan County, dozens of people are riding fast. The man in the middle is Xu Shu. Dozens of people behind him are armed with spears, wearing long swords and wearing armor. Naturally, they are his bodyguards.

A group of people soon marched to a city before, Xu Shu looked at the gate of the city, his heart full of doubts.

"Why is the gate closed in the daytime

At this time, a head appeared on the tower, shouting: "who is coming?"

Xu Shu looked up and clasped his fists and said, "I am Xu Shu, the general of the imperial court. I am ordered to go to Beihai for business. Please open the city."

Unexpectedly, the man on the tower shook his head: "no, two days ago, there were a large number of thieves, burning, killing and looting all over Qingzhou, which was very rampant. The prefects of Beihai and Jinan have jointly appealed to Xuzhou for help. At present, all parts of Qingzhou are under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. "

When Xu Shu heard the speech, his heart sank and his secret way was not good.

A guard nearby said: "general, why don't you take out the imperial edict and show it to the other side? Your majesty, I dare not hinder them

But Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Oh, it's no use. Now, even if we can go to the North Sea to take up our duties, it will not help. "

He looked up at the tower and sighed: "two days ago, he was in Xuzhou, but he was able to send troops to control the cities of Qingzhou. I'm afraid it was a deliberate plot. It seems that Liu Bei was underestimated after all... "

Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai County, is holding a banquet in person to entertain Liu Bei.

"Qingzhou and Beihai have been in trouble for many times. They are all helping you with great kindness. Don't forget it. Here I am, I'd like to offer you a bottle."

Full of joy, Kong Rong took up the wine bottle and drank it down.

Liu Bei also said with a smile: "Kong Beihai is so polite. You and I are all Han ministers. Qingzhou is caused by bandits. Is there any reason for Bei to sit back and watch? Now, if you want to be a bandit in Gaoli Prefecture, you will be divided into two parts

He said these words with righteousness and solemnity. When Kong Rong heard this, he put down his wine bottle and praised him again and again.

"It is admirable that you are worthy of your lineage and have a public mind for the country. Today, Jiaohe, the governor of Qingzhou, died of illness. The court has not yet appointed a new governor to come. I have discussed with the prefects in the prefecture. After the banditry is settled down, we will join hands to show that our younger brother, general Jiang Huan, is the governor of Qingzhou. What do you think? "

Hearing this, Liu Bei was terrified and said, "well, how can this be made? How can he de, brother-in-law, dare to be the burden of a state? What's more, Bei Dao lived in Xuzhou, but he didn't even clean up the affairs of his own Prefecture. Pengcheng and xiapi were still in the hands of the bandits. When the bandits were calmed down, Bei immediately led the troops to retreat. He did not dare to have any idea about Qingzhou. "

Jiang Huan also stood up from his seat: "big brother, you've got a good deal. Huan Yijie Wu Fu, who only joined forces to fight for the imperial court, is not worthy of such an important task. "

"Well, you and the general don't have to refuse."

Kong Rong said: "now the imperial court is bent on dealing with Cao thieves and has no spare time to take into account the affairs of Qingzhou. Otherwise, it would not have sent a new governor for months. And I and other prefects are all literati, not good at war. General Jiang Huan was asked to serve as governor for the sake of the stability of the people in Qingzhou, and for the sake of relieving the imperial court of worries. Thirdly, you are loyal to your country. If you can occupy the land of Qing and Xu, you can help the imperial court and attack Cao thieves. You should never retreat from such a beautiful thing

Although he was so persuading, Liu Bei still waved his hands repeatedly: "it's not necessary. It's absolutely impossible for me to do this."

At this moment, Kong Rong suddenly put a face on his face and said, "how can you abolish state affairs because of his false reputation? Your younger brother served as the governor of Qingzhou. He was in charge of the country and the people. Why did you thank him repeatedly? Was he unwilling to help the court capture the thieves

"This..."

Liu Bei was still hesitant, and Tian Feng took over the topic: "Kong Beihai said that it is reasonable. The Lord is the land of Qingzhou. Now that the imperial court is still unable to take over, it is better for the Lord to stay temporarily. After the world is stable and the thieves are killed, the imperial court will arrange for it. In this way, it will not damage the Lord's reputation of benevolence and virtue, but also make him a great Han River and build a new meritorious service."

"So..." Liu Bei looked at the crowd and then sighed, "Alas I hope your majesty will not be more guilty for this... "

Outside the city of Qingzhou, Anle county and Linji County, Zhang Fei led thousands of steps to come.

"Yanren Zhang Fei is here, open the gate quickly..."

He pointed at the tower with a spear of Zhangba snake and yelled loudly.

A man poked out his head and yelled, "General Zhang is famous. I've heard of him for a long time. However, the general came to suppress bandits. There was no banditry in Linji city. This is the boundary of Qingzhou and is not under the jurisdiction of the general. If the general wants to enter the city, he needs the will of the imperial court. Otherwise, the lower officials will never let go. "

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was furious: "Wow, ah I'm angry. You bird officer, how dare you stop me? Although there are no bandits here, if you go north, there will be bandits in Qiancheng county. If you don't open the door, how can I help you? ""This..." The magistrate on the tower was in a bit of a dilemma.

Many years ago, when Liu He ascended the throne, after Kong Rong, Jiao and he joined the capital to celebrate their arrival, he specially arranged for the imperial court to control Qingzhou. He was an old soldier in the army. He had no other skills, but he was loyal to Liu He. Although Liu Bei was a royal brother, in his eyes, no one could come without Liu He's command.

However, if there is banditry in Qiancheng County, he will not let Zhang Fei go, but he is afraid that he will miss the event, which makes him fall into a dilemma.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitating, Zhang Fei turned his eyes and said, "if you don't feel at ease and go down to the city, there is something in a certain family that can prove that what he just said is absolutely true."

"Oh? In this case, if Qiancheng county is in trouble, I will let you go. Please wait a moment. "

When the county magistrate immediately ordered people to open the city gate, he himself rode out of the city and came to Zhang Fei.

"General Zhang, what evidence do you have, please..."

He was reaching out to see the evidence Zhang Fei said, but unexpectedly, Zhang Fei suddenly became confused.

"Wow, the thief is dead!"

Zhangba snake spear twinkled with cold light and stabbed the county magistrate's face.

"Ah You... "

"Poof..." The county magistrate was stabbed by Zhang Fei and threw it out.

"Ah Zhang Fei killed the county magistrate... "

"The magistrate has been killed. Come on Go and report to the prefect... "

Garrison, panic.

"All stop!" Zhang Fei's thunderous roar made everyone stop in succession.

Zhang Fei was very proud. First he grinned and then pointed at the body of the county magistrate on the ground with his Zhangba snake spear: "my general has heard about this for a long time. As a life officer of the imperial court, he secretly colludes with bandits and designs a mischievous plot. After discussing with the prefects, my elder brother is worried that he will cooperate with the bandits inside and outside and plot against the common people, so he sent me here to take his life Are there accomplices? "

He is so ferocious and vicious. Who dares to say he has such a question?

"No, no I dare not... "

"Yes The villains are always on their own feet, and they have no different ideas... "

Looking at their frightened appearance, Zhang Fei nodded: "I hope you don't have the courage. Now, open the gate and let general Ben enter the city, and then make a plan. "

Runan County, an Cheng, Cao Cao looked at a letter, laughing.

"Ha ha ha I don't want the land of Qingzhou to be so easily captured by Liu Bei. It's God's help to me. "

"That's great. With Liu Bei's help, our allied forces are even more powerful than before. Why should we be afraid of Liu He's children?"

XiahouDun rubbed his hands and wanted to fight again now.

Cao Ren slightly frowned: "Liu Bei is sure to be detected by Liu He if he acts like this. What can he do if he takes the pretext of Liu Bei's good killing of Ministers?"

Cao Cao laughed and shook his head: "absolutely not. Liu Bei led his army into Qingzhou at the invitation of the prefects of Qingzhou. As for the several generals and county magistrates killed by him, although they are all the confidants of Liu He, Liu Bei has evidence of their collusion with bandits. These evidences are all captured bandits. They confessed to each other personally. The evidence is conclusive. Even if Liu He is suspicious, there is no reason to make a fuss about this matter. "

Cheng Yu also said: "yes, up to now, Liu Bei is still a loyal minister for the country and the people. If Liu he wanted to punish him, would he not have beaten the royal face?"

It's a brilliant plan of Cao miaoyen
