"How many times have I told you that you can scold anyone in the newspaper, but it must not involve the royal family. Do you want to kill me, Hua Xiong?"
In Di Bao Mansion, Hua Xiong was furious. Facing his new subordinate Yu Fan, he was really frightened. This Yu Fan was from Kuaiji, Zi Zhongxiang, who had been assigned to Hua by the emperor in the near future.
At first, Hua Xiong liked him very much. He was indeed a capable person. He had his own understanding of both Confucianism and Taoism, and he could even comment on it. Compared with the six sons of Xiping, the same was true
Not bad, and he is also extremely smart and far-sighted.
However, this person is not afraid of death, he is straight!
After Hua Xiong has lived for so many years, this is the first time he has seen a stupid young man who is even more stubborn than himself!
If this man lived in Jianning, he would definitely be Wang Fu's confidant. Hua Xiong still loves him very much. He can see many things clearly, even more clearly than Hua Xiong. For example, Liu Xi paid tribute before
In Zhonglie Hall, Yu Fan proposed to spend three whole issues telling the famous officials of Zhonglie Hall and their deeds. It would be best to also write about the affairs between Renzong and Yizong and them.
Hua Xiong did as he was told, and Hua Xiong came to make a semi-fiction, while the other scribes polished the pen. The result was amazing sales, and people all over the world rushed to buy it. Countless people were admiring the famous officials. Liu Xi was very happy, and all the officials in the temple were very happy.
I was also very happy. The Di Bao Mansion changed its past and received support from everyone. The ministers and ministers in the temple even came to pay homage to Hua Xiong and invited him. This was treatment that Hua Xiong had never received before.
Hua Xiong smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He always felt that Situ's position was one step closer to him.
This Yu Fan is not bad, he is a capable person.
At first, this was the impression Yu Fan gave him, and Hua Xiong liked him very much. However, the longer he stayed with Yu Fan, the more frightened Hua Xiong felt. This man was good at everything, but his character was quite bad.
, no matter who he is, he dares to scold him, whether it is the three princes or the twins, there is nothing he dares not to scold. This is very similar to the princes of the past. Of course, there are also differences.
Yu Fan doesn't look down on anyone like Wang Fu does. It's just that he is a bit straight. He just says what he doesn't like and never hides it in his heart. For example, what should Sangong do to him?
If he doesn't get used to it, he will directly write a letter to scold San Gong for his behavior. This kind of temperament is very suitable for Hua Xiong, but his boldness is somewhat beyond Hua Xiong's imagination.
"The emperor turned a blind eye to the dispute between the three princes in the temple, or did he deliberately instigate it?"
This is the article to be published in the latest issue that Yu Fan handed him.
When Chen Lin saw it, her face turned pale, and the little old man fainted and is still lying on the bed. When Hua Xiong saw it, he became furious, pointed at Yu Fan's nose and cursed,
Hua Xiong gritted his teeth, looked at the scribe in front of him with a fierce expression, and shouted angrily: "Zhong Xiang! I, Hua Xiong, have no enmity or grudge against you. If you want to take my place, just tell me."
, you can’t come and take my life, Hua Xiong!!”
"I am blaming the Emperor, not Duke Hua. Why should Duke Hua be afraid of you? There have been disagreements among the three princes in the temples and at court in the past dynasties, but these were all political disagreements in the temples. In private, they were all devoted to the people. Ever since Emperor Xiaokang
Since then, the three princes have worked together to revitalize the Han Dynasty. However, the emperor ignored this and deliberately caused the three princes to quarrel and made them hostile to each other. A mere farming strategy attracted the opposition of the Taiwei. Haha, such a temple can still be built.
What happened?"
"Hey, if you publish this article, I, Hua Xiong, will go to see Man Chong tomorrow, and I will be beheaded the day after tomorrow! What are you asking me to be afraid of??"
"Hua Gong! The so-called newspaper report is to do justice. If the temple is unfair, you should criticize it. Even if you die, what are you afraid of?!"
"I..." Hua Xiong opened his mouth, but was speechless. He sighed helplessly and asked the officials around him to go to work. He pulled Yu Fan into the study and asked Yu Fan to sit on his desk.
In front of them, an official brought tea, and while the two of them were drinking tea, Hua Xiong said slowly: "You are still young, and you don't know how trouble comes from your mouth. What's more, this world belongs to the emperor, and we, as human subjects,
, how can you slander the monarch?"
"Whoever makes mistakes should be brought forward..."
"Don't say any more. The emperor can't make mistakes. Even if he makes mistakes, if you want to point them out, you have to climb to Cao Cao's position. Of course, I will be the Situ after him. You have to wait for me to retire. You
Only then can you serve..."
"Alas..." Yu Fan just sighed and looked at Hua Xiong. The depression in his eyes made Hua Xiong feel a little flustered. Hua Xiong never thought that there would be a day when he would come to persuade others not to talk nonsense.
, it seemed that others had persuaded him like this in the past, Yu Fan didn’t say anything more, he just silently put away the article, thought for a moment, and then said: "In that case, Mr. Hua, I think we can do one.
Poetry and Fu Mansion..."
"oh?"
"Just ask the literati from all over the world to send them to us, and we will use their literary talents to spread to the world... It is best to have some that praise the emperor... In this way, Hua Gong will be able to climb to the position of the Third Duke faster.
"
"Hahaha, you want me to become a superior disciple as soon as possible?"
"Yes, as Mr. Hua serves as Situ, I will have a backer..." Yu Fan said firmly, but Hua Xiong felt a little frightened. I am the Situ to help you take the blame? Forget it, I want to
If not Situ, let it be done by other talented people?
However, Yu Fan's suggestion just now is still good and can be used. Hua Xiong stroked his beard and nodded slowly.
"Well, your suggestion is good. Go ahead and do it. In addition, go find Mr. Chen quickly. Mr. Chen is old and just fainted from your fright. Go and explain to him clearly. If something happens to him,
You will be buried with me too!" Hua Xiong said with a frown, and Yu Fan responded and walked out of the study.
Hua Xiong was also a little helpless. The old days were better. He was leisurely all day long. Unlike now, he hardly had any free time. He was busy with this and that all day long. He had no free time at all. He was really tired.
The important ministers in the court still don't understand themselves and say that they are talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong. How can I, Hua Xiong, be that kind of person? I have never told a lie in my eighteen years of life!
Carrying a bottle of wine, Hua Xiong walked out of Dibao Mansion.
That is to say, when it is time to compile a new issue, he will come and help write down the situation and story truthfully. Chen Lin and the others will help polish the writing. In this way, the quality of the story and the writing style will be extremely good.
, In these days, all the officials in the court were almost completely offended by him. If they had not listened to Yu Fan and compiled the deeds of Zhonglietang, I am afraid that they would still be unwilling to speak to Hua Xiong now.
After taking a sip of wine, Hua Xiong looked at the streets on both sides with a smile.
The streets were extremely busy and noisy, and it was difficult to talk here. But somehow, Hua Xiong only felt that the surroundings were so quiet, as if he was excluded from the prosperous age and could not integrate with them at all. At this time,
There was always an inexplicable feeling of loneliness that enveloped him. Everyone he knew had left one by one. Even Guan Yu, the only one who could speak, was now far away in Xizhou, in this prosperous world.
It was as if he was alone.
Fortunately, there is Dong Bai by his side. However, how should I put it, Dong Bai is a woman and too young. Hua Xiong doesn't know what to say next to her.
As he was walking, an exclamation came from behind him, breaking Hua Xiong's thoughts.
"There's a thief!"
Someone shouted, Hua Xiong was stunned, and a person rushed past him, holding a large package, and quickly passed through the crowd. When Hua Xiong turned his head, there were several people who looked like businessmen chasing after him.
Shouting that there was a thief, he chased the man in front of him. Judging from their clothes, they were probably jewelry merchants from the West. Hua Xiong suddenly woke up from the wine, threw the wine bottle in his hand aside, and quickly headed towards the man in front of him.
The thief chased him out!
"Stop!"
Hua Xiong shouted!
People on both sides of the street were startled by his voice. The thief did not stay or look back. He quickly passed through the crowd, causing a lot of abuse. Hua Xiong chased him, his lungs became more and more painful, and he gulped loudly.
Panting, he shouted to the crowd on both sides: "Catch that guy! That guy is a thief!"
"catch him!"
"Catch him!"
Hua Xiong ran all the way and kept roaring. The pedestrians on both sides of the bustling Luoyang were a little panicked. They turned their heads and looked at the thief. The thief had a dagger holster on his waist, which was particularly conspicuous. The pedestrians did not hear Hua Xiong's words.
They exclaimed and continued to be busy with what they were doing. They were really too busy. Was anyone talking just now? They couldn't hear it very clearly.
The thief kept changing directions along the way, gradually breaking away from the crowd and heading towards the entrance of the alley.
Finally, in an alley, the thief finally stopped running away, holding one hand on the wall, panting.
Hua Xiong was behind him, even more exhausted, panting heavily, his back pressed against the wall, sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Old man, aren't you afraid of death?? Huh? If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you!" The thief was a young man. The young man's face was full of fear, but he still held the dagger firmly and pretended.
Staring fiercely at Hua Xiong in front of him, Hua Xiong gasped for air and stood up slowly, with a bit of hoarseness in his breathing, "You killed me? Barbarians outside the Great Wall, grandsons of Kushan are all
If you can't kill me, it's just you?!"
Hua Xiong said, walking towards the thief step by step.
The young man became more and more panicked, waving the dagger in his hand wildly, and looking at Hua Xiong in front of him, his expression became even more ferocious.
At that moment, the young man lost his mind and turned around to run. Hua Xiong rushed towards him and knocked him down from behind. His whole body fell on the young man. The thief shouted, "Hua Xiong!"
He quickly grabbed his hands, kicked his dagger aside, tied his hands with his belt, and then lifted the young man up. At this time, the young man's face was filled with fear and panic.
"Please let me go. This is my first time. My mother is sick. I have no money. Please..."
The young man cried and begged for mercy, but Hua Xiong ignored him.
He led the young man and walked out of the alley step by step.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he met several merchants. The merchants who had lost their packages rushed in. Hua Xiong was about to speak, but the merchants put their eyes on his hands. There was no package, and they looked again.
Looking into the distance, they finally found the stolen package on the ground in the distance. The merchants shouted, rushed over, picked up the package on the ground, and then walked to Hua Xiong again.
.
"Take a look and see if there's anything missing. Well, I need you to go to the court later..."
"Thank you, husband...thank you so much!"
The three merchants said, with smiles on their faces, heads lowered, and walked away quickly...
Hua Xiong said: "Don't leave, call a doctor for me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the merchants had disappeared into the sea of people. Hua Xiong opened his mouth, but could not say anything. He sighed, slowly untied the belt from the thief's hand, and let go of the young man.
, the thief also quickly escaped from here. Hua Xiong looked at everyone's retreating figures, leaned against the wall, and slowly sat down. He had hurt his waist by running and flying like that, and his whole lower back was in great pain.
Just sitting by the wall, Hua Xiong watched the pedestrians coming and going.
Breathing gently, Hua Xiong just looked at the street blankly.
He couldn't recognize Luoyang.
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him.
This was an elderly doctor, carrying a package, lowered his body, and asked: "Did you hurt your waist? Or your legs? Come and see..."
"Just now, a young man came to my place, threw me some money, and asked me to come here quickly. He said that someone was injured, but he refused to leave his name. It was really strange. He was not afraid that I would take the money and not see a doctor.
