"The vastness of a husband's land leads to arrogance, and the expansion of wealth leads to extravagant feelings. It is also a time when people must come." Volume 75 of the Later Han Dynasty
Lai Min seemed to clearly hear Liu Hao snorting disdainfully from his nose as he stood up to greet him. The faces of Fei Boren and other Fei's in-laws who were lowering their heads were all green and red at this time, and their expressions were embarrassed. Although they had never seen Liu Hao before,
Yan had seen this woman before, but Lai Min quickly judged her identity from the attitude of Liu Mao and others.
Is this Mrs. Lu, who got lucky because of her ghostly ways and appearance, so blatant?
The virtuous and famous man who lived in seclusion as a professor of geology in Yangcheng Mountain is now over fifty years old, but his upright and clear face still retains the grace of his youth, but his body is too weak. Even wearing gorgeous robes,
Nor can it conceal the morbidity of aging in the old man.
"Jinda." Liu Yan's voice was a little hoarse. Although the two were more than twenty years apart in age, they treated each other as peers: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how your studies are going. Zuo is still here.
Do you see it?"
"Zuo made a small statement about his great righteousness, and I have been studying it all the time. If I didn't read it for a day, I felt regretful." Lai Min said.
"Oh?" Liu Yan blinked his cloudy eyes and said in surprise: "What's the point of regret in this?"
Lai Min said calmly and calmly: "I regret that I wasted my time and am one step further away from the path of a saint."
"Hahaha." Liu Yan smiled happily, as if Lai Min recalled his days of seclusion. After laughing for a while, he suddenly saw Liu Hao sitting aside, his face suddenly changed, and his tone turned slightly stern:
"Shuyu, you should also read more books. Don't wander around looking for people all day long and delay the studies of several families."
During this period of time, Liu Hao really liked to visit the powerful families in Guanghan County and socialize with their children, but he did not neglect his studies. At this time, Liu Yan was preaching in public, and he felt a little embarrassed on his face, and he knew in his heart who was responsible.
, glared at Mrs. Lu without any trace, lowered his head and said yes.
The dim-eyed Liu Yan never noticed Liu Hao's little movements, so he nodded and said, "Don't go out for the next few days. Jingda happens to be here. His family has a long history. It's a rare opportunity. You have to ask him for advice."
Isn't this just a disguised form of grounding? Liu Hao was shocked and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Ah Weng!"
Liu Yan no longer paid attention to him at this time, and Gu Zi said to Lai Min: "When Huang Ziyan was a general with five features, I told him several times that I wanted to ask him to recommend talents and not avoid relatives. Who knows, but Huang Ziyan said that he was not in a hurry?
, I need to study more carefully, I am fashionable and unclear, but when I see him today, I realize that Huang Ziyan's ability is far better than mine."
Lai Min leaned over and smiled, saying a few polite words, and then took this opportunity to get down to the topic: "Speaking of which, I am entrusted by Huang Gong for this trip. I have several copies of the silk book. Please give me a personal look.
."
"Your Majesty." Mrs. Lu spoke. Unlike her gorgeous appearance, her voice was as clean and clear as a stream. It sounded very pleasant to the ear, and even Lai Min, who was wary of her, had to admit it.
It was a very nice voice: "I must have suffered a lot of hunger on my way to you. I can read my letters from home at any time. Why don't you start the banquet now?"
"Oh, oh." Liu Yan seemed to react belatedly, his gray and turbid eyes rolled twice in his sockets, he glanced at Mrs. Lu with his peripheral vision, and then said: "Although I haven't seen Huang Ziyan's handwriting for a long time,
I am anxious and thirsty, but it is really hard work for me to come from afar, so I will put it away first and we will talk about it after we have a banquet."
Lai Min naturally obeyed his orders.
After the banquet, Liu Yan invited Lai Min into the study. As soon as he sat down on the couch, Liu Yan waved to Mrs. Lu: "You go out first."
Mrs. Lu glanced at Liu Yan in surprise, but didn't say anything. After thoughtfully making hot water for the two of them, she resigned obediently.
There were several piles of folded silk fabrics on the table, but Liu Yan didn't even look at them. He leaned hard against the bamboo table behind him that was covered with fine animal hair, and then sighed heavily: "The imperial court
What exactly is this situation?”
"Why don't you read the letter first?" Lai Min raised his eyebrows.
"The silk is too light to bear the weight of the mission." Liu Yan tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger and said clearly: "The letter is just a cover, the message you brought is the most important thing.
.Huang Ziyan knows the pros and cons, I have been friends with him for many years, how could I not know?"
Lai Min was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect Liu Yan to be so clear-headed. He stood up cautiously, walked to each window and listened for a while, then stopped hiding anything and briefly and succinctly told all the major events that had happened in the court in the past two years.
, from the killing of Dong Zhuo, to Wang Yun being exempted, from the personal expedition to Hedong, to the suppression of the local powerful people in Guanxi. One after another, Liu Yan felt as if he was personally there, as if he was in the treacherous court of Chang'an.
In the hall, even breathing was a little heavier.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Yanfang slowly said: "Your Majesty is wise and all the ministers are working hard, so why should the Han Dynasty be unhappy?"
"You only hate me." Liu Yan suddenly felt a little depressed: "I'm going to become the sinner of the Han Dynasty!"
Lai Min was a little confused and asked: "Since you know that the imperial court is in good spirits, why didn't you submit your petition earlier? If you had submitted your petition earlier, all the princes in the court would not have doubts about Duke Ming."
"Zhang Gongqi mistaken me!" Liu Yan slapped the armrest heavily and said bitterly.
It turned out that Zhang Lu took advantage of Liu Yan's weakness of believing in alchemists and often preached in his ears that the Han Dynasty was declining and the emperor would emerge from Shu. Liu Yan also believed in this, and also believed that the imperial court's revival at this moment was just a temporary flashback.
.People are inherently stubborn when they get old, let alone Liu Yan, who is superstitious about ghosts and gods. Although his rationality has made him realize that something is wrong, psychologically he does not believe the words of Liu Fan and other brothers at all.
Now Lai Min has completely confirmed that what Liu Fan and others said is true. It was in vain that he, Liu Yu, Liu Biao and others were all famous people in the country. Now that their reputation has been humiliated, it is too late to regret it!
"On the Taiping Road, the Five Dou Rice Road is actually the same raccoon dog. There was a rebellion in Zhangjiao on the Taiping Road in an attempt to subvert the world. How can the Five Dou Rice Road be a good person?" Lai Min recounted what he saw on the road one by one: "Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong with
The people who taught ghost Taoism called themselves Shijun and did not appoint any long-term officials. They were all governed by officials such as sacrificial wine, traitorous orders, ghost officials, etc. Most of them were similar to the Yellow Turbans. In less than two years, Hanzhong became a land of ghosts, and there was no saint to teach. So.
You are a demon, so you don’t want to capture and kill him to make up for your mistakes, so how can you allow him to act recklessly?”
"How come I don't know what Jingda said?" After listening to this, Liu Yan closed his eyelids in pain: "It's just that I couldn't do it without my doing it. I really can't!"
"Why is this?" Lai Min asked.
Liu Yan raised his right hand at him and explained weakly: "When I entered Yizhou on a bicycle, in order to establish authority, I relied most on the soldiers of Qingqiang and Zhang Lu's tribe. After several years of support, Zhang Lu is now powerful
The Han people in Chuba have grown up and are no longer under my control. The Qingqiang are greedy for profit and afraid of strength. Seeing that I am weak and about to die, how can they be willing to help? If they deal with Zhang Lu at this time, Yizhou will be in danger.
That’s it.”
"But we can't do nothing." Lai Min didn't expect that Liu Yan had always seen the truth, but Zhang Lu, who was forced by the situation and was unable to defeat Zhang Lu, might still have some hope for the emperor in his heart, so he turned to Zhang Lu.
Lu ignored it and pretended to be deaf and dumb to the current situation in the court.
He suddenly remembered the strategy Huang Wan had given him, which was to actively contact the powerful people in Shu and cooperate with the imperial court to attack Yizhou. At this time, since Liu Yan wanted to repent, why not seek help from him? 11
