Originally, Ling Emperor Liu Hong was already extremely angry, but Liu Xie came from the side to add fuel to the fire. It can be said that Ling Emperor Liu Hong's fire was ignited to the point where it could not be extinguished. Ling Emperor Liu Hong kicked him over
On the small table in front of him, wine and food were scattered all over the floor, splashing all over Zuo Aoran's face.
"If your Majesty insists on not changing, then the humble minister will have no choice but to resign and go into seclusion. I hope that your Majesty will take care of himself!" Zuo Aoran said without being humble or arrogant.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong was so angry that he laughed and laughed: "Okay! Okay! Okay! You Zuo Aoran, you have learned to threaten me now. Don't you want to resign? I won't allow it.
I will dismiss your official position and make you serve the people forever. I will never use you again in the Han Dynasty. Get out of here, as far away as possible, and don’t let me see you again in the future!"
"The common people thank Lord Long for his kindness!" Zuo Aoran said, turned around and left, exiting all the gates in the palace and heading straight to his mansion.
After Zuo Aoran returned home, he made some simple arrangements and set off that day with Ali Tuotie, who had not been granted an official title, and a dozen soldiers to guard Princess Jingming Liu Ming's car. The destination was no other.
The place is Zuo Aoran’s hometown—Zuojia County!
When they went to court the next day, everyone knew that the crown prince, the chariot general, and the loyal and brave Marquis Zuo Aoran who protected the country had been dismissed from office. The general He Jin, Zuo Aoran's teacher Lu Zhi, the minister Wang Yun, etc. all came to know.
After leaving work, he knelt down and asked for Zuo Aoran's life, hoping that Ling Emperor Liu Hong could take his life back.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong also knew that Zuo Aoran was a rare talent, but he refused to stand with him and insisted on confronting him. He said that he could not recruit him to Beijing as an official again. Once he proposed to abolish
If he comes out to obstruct the matter of raising children, he will fail again! Besides, He Jin is Liu Bian's uncle, and he is doing this just to show his kindness to Zuo Aoran, so that Zuo Aoran can help him.
When he thought of this, Ling Emperor Liu Hong became even more angry and shouted angrily: "No!" Then he withdrew from the court and issued two decrees.
The first one is not to intercede for Zuo Aoran, and anyone who intercedes will be killed. The ministers are afraid and dare not intercede for Zuo Aoran anymore. The other edict is to write a letter to remove all the meritorious generals under Zuo Aoran's command, and to remove them all.
For the people, but when the decree was sent everywhere, no one accepted it. It turned out that after receiving the news that Zuo Aoran was dismissed, all the generals under Zuo Aoran resigned from office.
Queen He Wan had a big quarrel with the Ling Emperor Liu Hong for her son-in-law and little lover Zuo Aoran, but how much trouble could the Queen He Wan, who had fallen out of favor, cause?! It's already conceivable! Just
Even Liu Bian, who was timid and cowardly, mustered up the courage to defend his sworn brother, but all he got was a scolding and a slap in the face, and he was also secretly placed under house arrest.
Zuo Aoran did nothing in the five days after returning home. Apart from coaxing his children, he just gathered with people who had resigned from office. What does it mean to be without an official and to be light-hearted? Zuo Aoran is now without an official.
As an official, he drinks banquets and sings every day. Zuo Aoran is a very rich man, and I am afraid he will never be able to spend all his money.
While Zuo Aoran was at home, General He Jin personally visited once and talked a lot with Zuo Aoran. To sum up, the main idea is that after a while, he would be reinstated in Beijing after ensuring that Zuo Aoran came to Beijing. Zuo Aoran felt like a mirror.
Yes, he has already planned his next step. He has never thought about reinstatement. Even if that day comes, Zuo Aoran will not return to Beijing to resume his post. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, Long Mu
How unkind!
Not only He came in, but also his three teachers Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, and Cai Yong. When Cai Yong came, Cai Yan was naturally indispensable. Many people came one after another, like the Chengmen school captain
Wu Qiong, ministers Wang Yun, Xun Shuang, Dian Military Colonel Cao Cao, Chinese Military Colonel Yuan Shao, Queen He Wan and East Palace Prince Liu Bian also sent letters of greetings.
Zuo Aoran didn't regret anything, but he regretted that the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command had all come out of the baptism of blood and fire. They fought in the south and north for the Han Dynasty, blocked the east and killed in the west, and finally
Not only did Zuo Aoran feel regretful that he didn't get anything, he also sighed from the bottom of his heart!
But there is something that makes Zuo Aoran secretly happy, that is, the wealth of his wife's Zhen family is enough to support these hundreds of thousands of soldiers for five years.
Despite the consumption of military pay, the Zhen family's annual income is still surplus.
This matter started about half a year ago. During the correspondence with Zuo Aoran, Chen Deng discovered that Zuo Aoran is a very stubborn person. Things that are certain will not change. Everyone in the court knows that Ling Ling
Emperor Liu Hong liked his second son Liu Xie, but Zuo Aoran wanted to protect Liu Bian. The consequences were unpredictable and the only option was to break up!
So Chen Deng made preparations in advance. The soldiers in Zhuojun and Yuyang were expanded by Zuo Aoran himself. It can be said that they only listened to Zuo Aoran's orders. If they were treasonous and ungrateful, it could be called "only knowing the world".
There is Zuo Aoran, but Emperor Liu Hong is unknown!
Chen Deng secretly sent soldiers from Zhuojun and Yuyang to the Taihang Mountains in batches, and built dozens of villages on the Taihang Mountains. The walls were built high in the villages, and he ordered them not to fly flags and act like bandits for the time being.
The purpose was to build up strength for Zuo Aoran. I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, but Chen Deng had made all preparations. This alone showed that Chen Deng's strategic foresight was far beyond the reach of others.
There is no need for Zuo Aoran to worry about the affairs at home. He has several wives to take care of his mother Liu, his eldest daughter Zuo Yiwen, the daughter of Jinlian, and Zuo Yelong, the eldest son of Xue Lingyun. Things in the Taihang Mountains are taken care of by his brothers and generals under his command.
Not to mention the financial aspect, the Zhen family is taking care of it, so Zuo Aoran decided to take advantage of this opportunity to study abroad and achieve his ambition as a man!
Zuo Aoran first dispersed nearly half of his family wealth to help poor families throughout Jizhou, and then handed over the family's pharmacy and medical clinic to his master Hua Tuo, and handed over the noodle shop and restaurant to Zhao Yun's brother Zhao Sheng.
So everything was handed over to Jin Lian, and the papermaking was naturally taken care of by the Zhen family.
Moreover, Zuo Aoran also used hard tactics to keep his teachers Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong. Zuo Aoran would never let go of such a good private tutor. He would stay at home and take care of his two children first.
When the academy is established in the future, they will be appointed as deans, and the girls will be told that Zuo Yiwen and Zuo Yelong are not allowed to learn martial arts, but can only practice Wuqinxi every day, and they must also seek advice from Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong.
He Yi, He Man, Liu Hu, Zhang Xu, Wang Xiong and others refused to let Zuo Aoran go alone, and insisted on following them. They said they wanted to protect Zuo Aoran's safety. The timing was indeed a bit playful.
They wanted to follow Zuo Aoran to see things. Among them, Liu Hu, Zhang Xu, and Wang Xiong were the most numerous. In the end, after Zuo Aoran gave an order, no one followed.
Let's say that after Zuo Aoran settled everything, he was about to leave Zuojia County. He wanted to travel around and make friends with heroes all over the world. It was the spring of the fourth year of Zhongping Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (AD 187). This year Zuo Aoran was 20 years old. When the villagers heard that Zuo Aoran was leaving, they felt very sad.
As the saying goes, troubled times are unpredictable. Zuo Aoran walked out of the door of Zuojia County today. I don’t know when and what month he will be able to gather with his fellow villagers again! Everyone came to send each other, some dry food from this family, some dried meat from that family. Specially prepared for Zuo Aoran, a special brew known as the "Eight Treasures of the Royal Family" - Dukang wine! The simplicity, kindness and sincerity of the fellow villagers can be seen. Zuo Aoran also thanked and comforted them one by one!
Li Wenhou, Cheliji, Gao Lan, Gao Tanglong, Jiang Yiqu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Chu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zuo Chun, He Yi, He Man, Dianjie, Ouyang, Zhu Ci, Liu Quan, Liu Hu, Gao Ping, Gao Huai, Zhang Rong, Zhang Xu, Ma Sheng, Yang Ming, Wang Xiong, Li Bao, Zhang Tai, Diao Linxiang, Xing Lie, Murong Ping, Lei Xu, Chen Deng, Liao Li, Xu Ci, Chen Zhen, Du Wei, Cui Yan, Cui Lin, Shen Yi, Shen Dan, Xue Ze, Xue Qiao, Zhang Xian, Zhang Pu, Zhao Rui, Shi Zuan, Xu Shang, Zhuge Qian, Zhai Yuan, Chang Diao, Zeng Xuan, Su Yong, Chen Tai , Chen Yuan, Cheng He, Ti Jun and others also went out of the city ten miles to see each other off.
As the saying goes, you will have to say goodbye after a long journey. Everyone reluctantly sent Zuo Aoran out of Zuojia County. With tears in his eyes, Zuo Aoran stepped onto the ink-carved plate-ribbed Lai Qilin and carried a purple gold whip on his back, winning. Hanging a golden gun with a gun on it, he said goodbye to everyone and ran out of Jizhou without any dust!
All the way south across the Han River, he first came to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou. Who was Liu Biao? He was an important local minister at that time, with a gentle appearance and a well-known reputation all over the world. He was known as the "Eighth Eighth of Jiangxia" with the seven wise men. "Jun" is also a well-known figure. He was officially worshiped by General Zhennan and led Jingzhou as a pastoralist. He occupied Jing, Xiangjiu and 42 prefectures, with a total of more than 300,000 men and horses. It can be said that the soldiers and horses are strong and the power is overwhelming. Why did Zuo Aoran come? How about visiting him? Because Zuo Aoran has long heard that Jingzhou has outstanding people and heroes, and Zuo Aoran came here for an ulterior purpose, so he came to visit and take a look at the characters in Jingxiang.
When Liu Biao heard that it was Zuo Aoran who was visiting, he hurried out of the house to greet him. He saw a young man coming calmly on Xiangyang Avenue, one man and one horse. Liu Biao took a look and fell in love with him! What?! Zuo Ao This young man Ran is so good-looking!
But when I saw Zuo Aoran jumped off the horse, he had an eight-foot-long figure, with a slim waist and arms, shoulders hugged, and a face like a lotus flower blooming in the beginning, white with pink in it, and pink in the middle with brightness. Not to mention how good-looking he was! His eyebrows were divided into eight colors. , two sword eyebrows are inserted diagonally into the temples, a pair of bright eyes under the eyebrows are shining with brilliance, black as lacquer, white as powder, nose as if hanging gallbladder, lips as if greased, teeth lined with broken jade, big ears facing the embrace, the three mountains are worthy of each other. He has good facial features and no need to look young under his chin. He has such a full spirit and temperament that he can be called a handsome hero!
What is unique is that on this young man's Yintang, there is a red cinnabar mole, the size of a date pit, just like a cinnabar pink dot. In ancient times, it was also called an "auspicious mole". Later, folklore said that Zuo Aoran was the lower realm of the crape myrtle constellation. , the red mark on the forehead is the logo, and then look at the long hair that looks like ink, tied up with a purple jade ribbon, and covered with a white jade crown. The face is really as smart as the full moon, and the appearance is like the fairy of Yao Tian!
Looking at her body again: she is wearing a brocade plain white robe with gold thread embroidered with birds and animals, a pink silk satin heroic cloak with three rich flowers embroidered on it, a yellow ribbon tied around her waist, and cloud-pierced boots, which she wears cross-body. The Purple Gold Whip sits on top of the one-character ink-carved plate rib Lai Qilin, full of energy and full of righteousness! Looking from a distance, it looks like a dragon and a phoenix, with the sun and the moon on its face.
Such a young man was once honored by His Majesty as the Crown Prince, General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Marquis of Loyal and Valiant Protector of the Country. But now he is in trouble. How can you say that Liu Biao doesn't like him? After the two parties exchanged greetings by name, Liu Biao hurriedly took him to his residence. , treated him hospitably, and talked about world affairs with him. Zuo Aoran was eloquent and answered fluently, which made Liu Biao very happy. He regretted that he had not given birth to a daughter, or he had to recruit Zuo Aoran as his consort. Now he had a banquet. , invite the civil and military ministers to meet Zuo Aoran one by one, drink acquaintance wine together, talk about speculation, and enjoy each other so much that there is no need to elaborate.
