A group of cavalry marched through the streets. There were hundreds of cavalry in the imperial capital. They were not too conspicuous. Ye Qing glanced over and saw white flying paper flowers on the spiritual curtain. Ye Qing could clearly see that few people showed sadness on their faces, and more were numb and numb.
Fortunately, I still have concerns about the future situation.
There was no one in the city who didn’t know the emperor’s virtues. Even the important officials in the court were given the posthumous title "Ling" - the posthumous title of Ling was a bad posthumous title. It was better to just say "good death" or "why didn't you die earlier"?
Or something like "You really know how to choose the right time to die" is a jab in the spine.
"Being an emperor is a rare thing." Ye Qing was both a little disgusted and speechless. Whether intentional or not, this spiritual emperor has a historical position of "I will not care about the flood after I die." He has been happy all his life and left behind a mess.
Clean it up for everyone in the world.
"You can be sure that the old Liu family's dragon energy system will not give this guy a good look. Even if the Three Kingdoms have not yet evolved to become gods, it is not a matter of death."
The sun sets in the west, and the cool spring and summer evening breeze blows from the southeast, crossing the tall city wall not far away. Smoke rises slantingly from thousands of households. Nanshi restaurants, inns, and brothels are all in one row, and the air is filled with the fragrance of orchid.
As soon as I entered, there were soldiers in front of me to report: "...I arrived most of the day early. The Yu family's old shop has a spacious house. I rented an inn in the early morning. From today onwards, I will no longer accept guests, and they will all be cleared out by the afternoon."
, we rented the entire hotel, which is enough for us to live in.”
Ye Qing then said: "Then stay at Yu's old shop."
Arriving at the inn, the inn's courtyard is divided into wing rooms and a courtyard. The wing rooms are low, with one small room connected to the other, and there are forty rooms in a row. The courtyard is relatively tall, which is very nice.
They are big customers and spend a lot of money. The boss and his assistants have built a temporary stable and brought 200 horses in to eat feed. The 40 rooms can temporarily house hundreds of soldiers. Ye Qing and important people live in three courtyards.
.
A dozen or so waiters carried luggage, made a fire to cook, and called for a banquet before serving dinner. A dozen more people carried buckets of hot water to each room.
After it was finished, it was getting dark, Zhou Ling was boiling water, and Ye Qing was half-lying casually, when Jian Yong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jiang Chen, and Zhang Liao came in. Ye Qing quickly stood up and gave up his seat with a smile.
Said: "This journey has been peaceful. If I had known this, I wouldn't have had to mobilize troops like this."
"Brother, you'd better be careful. Maybe it's the beginning when we get to Luoyang." Guan Yu bowed slightly and said.
Ye Qing smiled and said nothing, feeling Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jiang Chen, and Zhang Liao. When he arrived in Luoyang, he had already felt dozens of qi rushing out. He didn't know how many dragons and snakes there were, but with these three people there,
It seemed that there was no problem, so he lost his mind and asked: "How do you think the people's sentiments are along the way?"
Guan Yu said: "There are already thieves everywhere."
Jian Yong said: "The governance in the countryside has collapsed. Some people are sparsely populated and have fled, and some have stationed troops and closed their doors. This is tyranny."
Although Jiang Chen carried Zhang Liao's name, he did not feel the same way. He smiled and said: "My lord, when you come to Luoyang this time, hundreds of horses are still very eye-catching. However, although we did not expect that we would be invited, we originally sent people to Luoyang to take care of them."
Second, we also spent three thousand gold to open channels."
"We are not buying an official position. Buying an official position will ruin the lord's reputation, but we are doing it to confirm the identity of the lord's clan. As long as the emperor recognizes the lord's clan status and enters the clan, we will have achieved most of our goals this time.
Speaking of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not all clans in the Western Han Dynasty were recognized. Only those who had contributed to the country or were very close were recognized. Therefore, after Liu Bei claimed to be King of Zhongshan, no one objected, but legally, it was not official. This required joining the clan.
Famous score.
"You may be right in your idea, but it's just that the emperor has passed away. I'm afraid it may not be possible. I am responsible for the safety of my eldest brother. As long as my eldest brother can go back safely, I will be relieved." Zhang Fei said.
"I think on the contrary, no matter how stupid the emperor is, he has been in power for many years. Returning to the clan may not be possible, but the new emperor is young and does not know how to measure, or he can just say it." Jiang Chen was not interested in anything else.
To him, these are all NP. Although he does not know the meaning of this word, it does not prevent him from viewing it as such. The only thing he is interested in is the power of the lord and the size of his official title.
"Yes, it is good to have the new emperor come to power, but the great Han Dynasty Zuo..." Ye Qing sighed softly and said: "The situation along the way seems to be really chilling, I am afraid that it will only be destroyed and then established."
After that, he got up and left the room. He was looking at the dense stars in the sky when a waiter saw him and led a middle-aged man in and said: "Sir, someone is looking for you."
Ye Qing took a look and saw that this man had a handsome face and a bookish air. When he saw Ye Qing, he bowed and said, "Is this the magistrate Liu? On the order of the head of my family, I specially invite you to a banquet in three days."
Ye Qing said nothing after hearing this, and only looked back and winked. At this time, Jian Yong heard clearly, exchanged looks, and stepped forward: "Please also invite this envoy to come and talk."
After just a moment, Jian Yong sent the envoy away, then came back and said: "My lord, this is a banquet, held in a private house in Nanshi. With a heavy bribe, I have obtained the invitation list for the meeting in advance."
With that said, he handed a piece of paper to Ye Qing, who took it. Reflecting the dim candlelight, he could see the prominent names: "Yuan Wei, Yang Ci, Xun Shuang..."
Jian Yong already knew this, so he still took a breath of cold air: "At present, the three princes, Yuan Wei, Situ Yang Ci, and the former Sikong Xun Shuang are so upright and scholarly. They are all over sixty years old and they are still being mobilized? It's really enough.
You have worked hard, and there is also my lord teacher, the current minister Lu Zhi..."
"These are just big flags, the real things are below." Ye Qing turned over the list, laughed, and handed the list to Guan Yu: "The rest, Li Ying, He Jia, Wang Yun, Sima Jun, etc... are also the real power positions in the court.
, their reputation is not obvious, but when you look at their last name, you know it, they are the pillars that connect the top and bottom."
According to the rumors from the retainers, the Yuan family in Runan, the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Wei family in Hedong, the Yang family in Hanoi, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Sima family in Hanoi... all of them are famous surnames in the country.
Everyone was surprised and wondered: "Most of the famous people, powerful people, and scholar-bureaucrats are here. What are they going to do?"
Jiang Chen turned to the next page and saw Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Bao Xin... almost all the famous local heroes were invited.
All the princes of Dong Zhuo were in it.
It was spread in the state that Cao Cao was fused by the governor, and the news about Sun Jian and Yu Fan was no secret among the families. Even Ye Qing, although he kept quiet, was speculated to be Liu Bei - the opening chapter said that Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan were sworn brothers, which was too conspicuous
Already.
What about the inconspicuous ones?
I can't even tell which ones are the original ones and which ones are heavenly beings.
There are also some newly emerged aristocratic families, such as the Qiyang Jin Family, Pinghe Qin Family, and Shangshui Lin Family, who directly bear the names of the main world and are very bold and unscrupulous.
Although his reputation is not obvious, he must be a local wealthy family. If they gather together and come to subordinates, they will instantly become a force of their own. They have such courage.
Jiang Chen doesn't worry about this. If they really meet, there will be a resonance between heaven and earth, and no one can run away.
Although Ye Qing's attitude was calm, he was actually reviewing the list. The induction of this list alone was priceless. All the luck combined turned into a circle of purple gas, which meant that the combined luck
, there is a faint aura of a king.
But if you look closely, you will see that these qi are all scattered. The dense qi are not harmonious with each other. Some are green, some are light green, some are golden, and some are light yellow. This means that many officials and families, although they are reluctant to get close to each other, are in the same bed.
, face and heart are cold.
Ye Qing's Liu Bei is just a streak of red and yellow energy here, compressed into a small ball. It is inconspicuous and can only be said to be standard.
But almost at the same time, a gray-black aura attacked, covering the entire list with a layer of gray aura. After distinguishing the essence of this, I realized that it was a lilac aura. Because it was hostile, the gray aura appeared on the list.
black
If you look carefully, you will see that this lavender energy is not pure. It is definitely not the energy of one person. It is a combination of ten constant servants. If Ye Qing does not know the history, even if he can identify it, he will not understand the key points, but if he understands
The history is immediately clear.
The Shichang servants have a high position, so it is not outrageous to have such lavender energy when they are united. Moreover, there is an emperor behind them, and even General He may not have good intentions.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and suddenly understood the essence of this list. This is the power of the scholar-bureaucrat group.
The one who is hostile is the Shi Changshi, and the one who is neutral and unhappy is the relative of the representative of General He.
This historical evolution has completely deviated from the original history.
"I have been reading ancient books recently and heard Confucius say, if the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity; if matters are not secretive, they will be harmed." At this time, Guan Yu retracted the scroll and muttered: "With such a large-scale gathering, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the people.
A villain leaking secrets is definitely not a sign of success. Brother, please be careful."
"The Emperor is still here, do you think General He's sword is bad for you?" Zhang Fei glared and said decisively: "There is no good banquet, so big brother won't go."
"It's not that easy." Others smiled kindly.
The military and government have always been closely linked to each other. Liu Bei was no longer in vain at this time. He was famous for his three million and thirty thousand. In addition, he became the county magistrate. In the past three years, he had repeatedly defeated the rebel army. Now his position is a little thinner, but he was already there immediately.
He has the qualifications to be promoted to a county lieutenant or a county magistrate, and he can be regarded as a hero with some strength and influence.
Although I was reluctantly selected, once I arrived, my every move was watched by others. Then when I checked into the hotel, I encountered an invitation.
Ye Qing looked at the sky, which was dim at night, and smiled coldly: "Although I have some achievements, they are dispensable on this stage. No big shot is targeting me yet, and with you here, what should I be afraid of?"
What? I am just reluctantly selected now. If anything happens, the taller man will take care of it. I will go and have a look in three days and just follow the crowd."
"There are still three days left. We have a good rest and we will just deal with it then."
"Yes, lord (eldest brother)" Although they were worried, everyone was making a temporary choice, but they were not afraid and just responded.
