Liu Hong was lying on the bed, panting, but when he was young, he saw him slowly closing his eyes and thinking carefully.
"I understand. It's just that I still need to discuss this matter with all the ministers in the court. After all, this matter is so important that it cannot be settled overnight. When I go to court in the future, my two beloved ministers will still need to report it. We will make a decision after the public discussion."
Liu Jian knew that this was not Liu Hong's excuse, and that this matter could not be settled immediately by just a word from the three Liu clan members standing here.
After all, it is a Mu Shou. If it is sent out, then from now on this area, whether military, political or financial, will be owned by Mu Shou alone.
And this kind of thing also involves the influence of some ministers in the local area, and after the establishment of the Mu Shou, the counties under the jurisdiction of the Mu Shou only have one person, which involves the annual evaluation of the counties under its jurisdiction.
A set of plans that are different from those of other states and counties, and a specific process system has been re-created.
These things cannot be discovered by the emperor's lip service.
The procedures for public consultation between North Korea and China cannot be omitted.
When Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Jian served as temporary pastors in Jizhou, it was more because Jizhou was the headquarters of the Yellow Turbans' uprising.
From now on, there will be no turning back in his life!
"Back to Young Master, the kuih soup was made by a humble servant."
Liu Jian squeezed Zheng Ci's hand: "Madam understands me so well, I feel very at ease! But don't worry, Madam, you are not nominally hostages. As long as you don't leave Luoyang City, Your Majesty will not do anything to you.
Moreover, Xuande is still there in Luoyang, so my wife can handle the internal affairs of the family by herself. If there are any difficulties in external affairs, she can go to Liu Xuande!"
But he is different.
Bian Yu'er placed the food on Liu Jian's desk, but did not go out, but stood beside him.
Looking at Liu Yan's back disappearing into the distance, Liu Jian sighed softly and shook his head.
Bian Yuer licked her lips and nodded with tears in her eyes.
…
This is the highest official who truly controls a state for the imperial court during non-war periods! In a sense, in the areas under his jurisdiction, Mu Shou is equivalent to the existence of the emperor. Cheng can be said to be the most powerful person in the country.
country.
Liu Jian took another sip of the sunflower soup and said: "I can certainly taste the taste of my wife's cooking... A soup like this is not made by my wife, but it is not made by the kitchen.
There is a bit of powdery smell in it, and it must have been made by the female family members of the house."
Zheng Ci also said: "My husband also cherishes me. I am not old yet, and my sweet child is still young. I can wait for twenty years."
At that time, the Yellow Turban War was initially planned, and the biggest reason why three people were allowed to serve as pastoral envoys in Jizhou was simply because the Yellow Turbans had just been pacified, and three people were needed to garrison troops in Jizhou to serve as a deterrent.
Xu You hurriedly arranged his clothes, ordered his maid to bring a bronze mirror, smoothed his hair, then straightened his back and said, "Lead me to see you!"
In the courtyard, Xu You, who was studying, heard the servant's words and was so shocked that he almost dropped the slip in his hand to the ground.
Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, he will still hold the sword and move forward without any hint of cowardice.
"If a husband has negative virtues, he will be rewarded with positive virtues. Virtue will be victorious, but benevolence will eliminate all misfortunes."
After returning to his residence, Liu Jian visited Zheng Ci and his son. He told Zheng Ci that he might go to work as a shepherd.
Liu Jian sighed: "After much thought, I still have no way to let you and your children leave Luoyang with me, but don't worry, three years... no! Two years! Two years at most! I will definitely have a way to let you leave.
Luoyang, our family can be reunited then."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Yes, at critical times, Madam can still look for Yuan Shiji."
I guess the two of us will be drunk tonight.
He wants to meet someone.
Liu Jian looked sideways, but it was the tall Bian Yu'er who entered the room carrying a tray of food.
"It's actually him?"
Liu Jian's expression didn't change much. He just continued to eat in silence.
"My husband has been thinking hard in the house all afternoon, and finally he is willing to come out?" Zheng Ci stepped forward and gently took Liu Jian's hand.
When I was young, I heard Liu Jian suddenly ask Bian Yu'er: "What does Yu'er think of this?"
…
But now in Limu, the situation is a little different.
"Young Master, it's time to eat."
Liu Yanzhi stayed in a corner, avoiding disputes and not paying attention to world affairs. His strategic goals were relatively easy to achieve.
"Crack!"
…
Liu Jian casually pointed at the table: "Put it here."
When she came outside the door, she saw Zheng Ci standing in the courtyard in white clothes. She watched Liu Jian walk out of the room with a smile on her face.
It's not that he doesn't want to focus on the military strategy, it's just that there are too many distracting thoughts in his mind right now.
Zheng Ci hurriedly helped Bian Yu'er up and said, "That's not necessary. There is no need to call me maid from now on. You and I can just call each other sisters...sister, I will hand over my husband to you today."
Liu Jian said: "No need, all the female relatives in the house are staying to serve you and your children. I have many people around me."
"My husband is working hard outside, so don't worry about it. It's just that after you become a shepherd, you must implement benevolent governance in the local area."
Liu Yan was also a measured person. He saw Liu Jian's expression and saw that he was really worried, so he refused to persuade him and immediately left with Dong Fu.
Zheng Ci looked at Bian Yu'er who was not far away and said: "Yu'er, my husband will be assigned abroad the next day, so you can stay with him. I'm not here, so you need to be by your husband's side to serve and take care of you."
Liu Jian held Zheng Ci's hand and said, "Madam, take care! You and Xiang Hai'er have been waiting for me for two years!"
Liu Jian did not look back, but said loudly: "I have figured out all the worries in my heart, so naturally I want to see my wife!"
"Young Master, Madam has ordered that this humble servant must watch Young Master finish all the food before he can go out."
Zheng Ci smiled and nodded, and said: "Don't worry, husband. Apart from anything else, Luoyang City is rich in materials. We, mother and son, may have a better life here than in the local prefectures and counties. If there are real difficulties, the worst I can do is to go to Yuan Junhou."
Just beg in front of the house."
It is estimated that the two of them ran back to celebrate.
"Young Master, can you eat it?"
"Why don't you leave?"
After talking with Zheng Ci, Liu Jian became more determined.
…
On the second day, Liu Jian went out early.
Afterwards, after a few more words, Liu Hong finally couldn't stand it any longer and the emperor lay down to rest. Liu Jian and Liu Yan then bowed and left.
…
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
Later, Zheng Ci personally cooked the food for Liu Jian, and asked the maids to find Bian Yu'er and ask her to deliver it to Liu Jian for him.
Liu Jian finished the meal with a big gulp, then put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "I am so lucky in this life that I met two virtuous women! The Liu family has nothing to worry about!"
"Like my concubine's first wife, and the legitimate son of Xianghaier's family, they must stay in Luoyang as pledges."
"Madam, can you tell me what worries me?"
Soon, it was dinner time, and Liu Jian was still in the study, holding the "Wu Sun Tzu's War Plan" given to him by Sun Jian, reading for a while, distracted for a while, reading for a while, distracted for a while.
Bian Yuer said: "Madam, the ancients said that those who can eat wine and meat can be beaten with whips. Those who can be given an official salary can be given a special ax. Now that the young master has received an official salary from the emperor, he will guard one place. The women and children at home will
We must stay in Luoyang. This is what Shaojun is worried about."
But on the contrary, the higher the ideals and ambitions, the more difficult they are to realize.
At this moment, the study door opened.
"well!"
"What? Who did you say is here?"
The road of thorns may only begin now.
…
…
Liu Jian threw the slip on the table and rubbed his aching temples.
Zheng Ci originally wanted to ask Liu Jian, but after thinking about it carefully she gave up.
He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "No wonder, Taichang. Jian has some trivial matters at home today, so it's inconvenient to go. After I take care of things at home, I will choose a day to pay my respects to Taichang's house!"
Liu Jian's chopsticks stopped picking up food.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up some ylang yew and dried tofu and put it in his mouth.
After leaving the West Garden, Liu Yan looked excited. He greeted Liu Jian happily and said, "Let's go, Deran! I have nothing to do today. I will go back to my house with you. Today's big things are done. You and I need to stay drunk until we get home."
!”
Bian Yu'er said: "I'm from a humble background. I don't understand poetry and books, and I don't understand the principles of saints. However, when I was a child, I heard an old saying from Mr. Weng: when the sun is in the middle, it will fade, when the moon is waxing, it will lose.
News. Although Shaojun has to be separated from his wife for a while because he has taken on a new job, as long as he can follow the fate, I believe that when the time comes, the troubles will naturally reverse, and Shaojun will definitely have the opportunity to reunite with his family."
When Bian Yuer heard this, her eyes ached, and she knelt down in front of Zheng Ci: "Madam's kindness, I can't repay you as a humble maid. I remember Madam's instructions and I am willing to protect you with my life."
…
This lady of my own...
"I can also see that you like her. She doesn't have a formal status now. Why not take this opportunity to take her as a concubine? A concubine with nothing to do will follow you out of the capital. Your Majesty will not care about it. Let Yu
I can rest assured that my son will be taken care of by your side."
Liu Jian sighed softly when he heard this.
Then he locked himself in the study and could not leave.
"Is this the meal cooked by Madam herself?" Liu Jian looked at Bian Yu'er who was standing next to him.
Bian Yu'er said softly: "Young Master, my wife said that she is afraid that meeting her at this time will offend Young Master, and she wants to wait until Young Master has figured out the worries in his heart before she comes to see Young Master again."
"If this can be done, our husband and wife, as well as Jun, Xianghaier and his son, will surely be able to meet again sooner or later."
Liu Jian nodded and said as he ate, "Since Madam cooks for me, why don't you deliver it yourself instead of asking you to come?"
"Master of the family, someone has come to present me with a famous assassin. He claims to be Yilang Liu Jian."
After saying that, I saw him getting up and walking towards the door.
His goals and aspirations are much higher than Liu Yan's.
Zheng Ci shook his head and said: "My husband cares about the world, and I should put the world first. The post of pastor is of great importance, and I am the first pastoral envoy appointed by your majesty. How can your majesty allow me and my family to accompany you?"
Zheng Ci smiled and said: "No matter how many people are around you, there is still no one in your family who is caring and considerate. I have observed Yu'er for a long time in the past six months. She is frugal by nature, not showy, her face does not change when she is angry, and she does not lose her temper when she is happy.
The most difficult.”
Liu Jian was not in such a good mood as Liu Yan.
Liu Jian also informed Liu Bei that Liu Hong would marry Liu Bei and the Cao family.
The affairs of Zhou Mu seemed to have come to an end, and he was about to dominate, but troubles seemed to come one after another, and one after another passed through Liu Jian's mind.
As he walked out of the house, Xu You had doubts in his heart.
"Why did he come to me suddenly?"
It’s no wonder that Xu You was suspicious. Although Liu Jian and Xu You were both direct descendants of the Yuan family, Liu Jian was Yuan Ji’s acquaintance, while Xu You was Yuan Shao’s running friend. The two of them were at the banquet at Yuan’s house.
We've seen each other in the past, but we don't have much contact with each other on weekdays.
Liu Jian successfully ran to Xu You's door today, and Xu You was naturally a little confused.
