"The winner and loser in the game of chess, although the national work is incomplete, it is always done by standing by and watching." [Chaoci went to Dingzhou to discuss the situation]
In August of the 10th year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty.
Chang'an, Taiwei Mansion.
"Are you confused?" Liu Yu looked at Zongzheng Liu Miao who was kneeling in front of him in shock and anger. This person he used to regard as a hamstring now actually became a problem in his eyes: "King Langxie's
Now that the matter has been exposed, how do you think I can save you? That is treason!"
"Mr. Liu!" Liu Miao blushed on the ground, with tears in his eyes: "King Langxie was just deceived by the villain. He never did anything wrong. Although he had such thoughts, he never did anything! Now the villain is making fun of him.
, intends to frame him, and the one he is targeting with his sword is not just King Langye! Liu Gong also looks to Ruijian, and to save others is also to save himself!"
Liu Yu's eyelids twitched, and he soon had a bad premonition. He said, "Did you also participate?" He quickly remembered again: "I remember, when the court held a funeral for King Langxieshun, you
I also went to Langye Country with me."
"How dare I!" Liu Miao said in horror. Before he could explain, Liu Yu started talking to himself: "I have already truthfully reported the situation back then to Mr. Liu, how dare I hide it!"
"Then why did you say 'save yourself'?" Liu Yu said, looking a little surprised and looking at Chang Shi Zhao Gai aside.
Zhao Gai thought for a while and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Calm down, Uncle Zong, don't be impatient. At the moment, we don't know who is behind Zang Ba, and we don't know the holy will. It's best to wait and see what happens. How can we act rashly?"
What's more, this matter involves the vassal king's clan, and there are eight discussions in the world. Since I am a clan uncle, if I really want to discuss the crime and have him imprisoned, I will definitely participate in it. It will not be too late for us to make plans at that time."
Liu Miao opened his mouth. He vaguely realized that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Perhaps, as he guessed, someone Xiang Zhuang was dancing the sword with the intention of 'Liu Gong'. But the other party said that for this reason, Liu Yu
He also looked in agreement, and Liu Miao couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and left with a sad expression.
After he left, Zhao Gai's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and said to Liu Yu: "If the matter is too involved, not only will King Langxie not be able to protect him, I'm afraid Liu Zhongyuan will also..."
"I spent a lot of effort to let him take over as Zongzheng and help me. Why don't you come up with a plan and say this first?" Liu Yu was very dissatisfied.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Gai's face, and he continued: "That's not what I meant. It's just that this matter is too strange. Zang Ba was originally the person involved. Since he dared to take the initiative, he relied on his absolute
It's not a partial success in pacifying the moth thieves in Jinan. If there is really someone behind the scenes who intends to use the clan name of King Langxie to arouse the country's fear, then what will happen to Mr. Liu in the future..."
"I understand." Liu Yu sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Liu Miao and I have a deep friendship after all. No matter what, I can't let him down."
"Ming Gong is noble and righteous." No matter what Liu Yu said, Zhao Gai always agreed. It was unlike Sun Zi who left the Taiwei Mansion some time ago. Although he was smart, he was too opinionated and was not lovable.
After Liu Miao knew Liu Yu's current attitude, he naturally would not place all his hopes on Liu Yu alone. Liu Xi, the king of Langye, was the only heir of his brother.
You can find another way.
After walking around and around noon, he arrived at a medium-sized mansion in Xuanpingli. There was only a lone horse-mounted stone in front of the door, but there was no gate sign that the rich and powerful people like to set up at the door. It was low-key. Guhan, on the other hand, seemed out of place in Xuanping where the nobles gathered. But Liu Miao did not dare to look down upon him. After getting out of the car, he straightened his clothes and relaxed his breath. After letting the chief of the pavilion pass, he soon saw a The man went out to meet him.
Liu Miao panicked for a moment and hurriedly bowed and said: "How dare you trouble Mr. Lang to welcome me personally?"
The person who came was none other than Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Mu. A few years ago, after being promoted as Xiaolian by the former Wuwei Governor Guanqiu Xing, he was recruited as a doctor. Now Guang Luxun serves. Speaking of Liu Miao, as the ninth minister, Jia Mu came to welcome him. It's okay, but now it's time to ask for help, and Liu Miao doesn't care about this false courtesy: "Mr. Lang is here just in time. May I ask if your father is here?"
"The old man said that if he wanted to ask for something, he could do nothing, but if it was just a small talk, he could say a few words." Jia Mu's qualifications were mediocre, but fortunately he was humble and conveyed Jia Xu's wishes truthfully.
These ambiguous words made Liu Miao hesitate. If Jia Xu didn't want to come to the rescue, he would just turn him away. If he was willing, why would he ask his son to pass on such words at the beginning? He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but then Unwilling to give up this last hope, he said to Jia Mu: "I came to Chang'an from Bingzhou not long ago. I just wanted to have a little chat with Jia Gong about mutual trade. I would like to ask Mr. Lang to introduce me."
Jia Mu smiled, as if he knew Liu Miao would say this, so he turned around and took Liu Miao inside.
When they entered the hall, they saw that Jia Xu, the Secretary of the Central Committee, was still wearing the court clothes he had worn when entering the palace and had not had time to take them off. At this time, the Supervisor of the Central Secretary and others were all on duty in the palace, but Jia Xu returned to the palace at this time, which made Liu Miao feel sad. A thought came to mind: Could it be that you were waiting for me to come?
"Jia Gong." Liu Miao didn't dare to think too much. After seeing the ceremony, when he was about to speak, Jia Xu stretched out his hand to cut him off:
"If it's for King Langxie's affairs, I can't interfere." Jia Xu said: "Zang Ba's report that King Langxie was rebellious is true. The country has already been furious. Tomorrow, the ministers will be summoned to discuss the crime and a prison manager will be ordered... This is not as simple as when the Langye Kingdom clung to Yuan Ni and misused the title of 'Xingping'."
"I know that had it not been for Mr. Jia who advised me privately and received His Majesty's forgiveness, the Langye Kingdom would have been deprived of me long ago." Liu Miao still remembered the situation at the time, and he also knew that Jia Xu did not want to help him for no reason. , I just want to support him and become a powerful helper among the Liu clan, so that I can owe Jia Xu a favor in the future court.
But this favor was about to be gone. Liu Miao thought that Jia Xu might also be in a dilemma, so he could take advantage of the situation and plead a few more words: "But Jia Gong, if King Langxie really makes a big mistake, he will be punished for his crime." ... But after all, he is the only son of my brother Wang. When brother Wang passed away, he left a suicide note to me and asked me to take care of him... But now, how can I meet brother Wang under the Nine Springs!"
Jia Xu seemed to be moved by sympathy, sighed and said, "You must have met the Taiwei before you came here?"
"Wei." Liu Miao stopped sobbing and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"He didn't promise you?"
"Wei." Liu Miao explained the situation just now in detail.
Hearing this, Jia Xu's expression became very strange for a moment, but returned to normal in an instant, and then he said: "I really can't help you with this matter, but since you are interested, you might as well go find this person again. "
