Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 268 So Fragrant!After all, it is on the road of copying

The urgent report was presented to the King of Bohai, but Liu Qing didn't reach out to take it. Instead, Cai Yan, who was at the side, reached out to take it knowingly.

A pair of beautiful eyes moved quickly between the lines, and then Liu Qing saw Cai Yan smiled.

understood!Steady!
"Congratulations to your majesty, you have accepted the order in the face of danger. The imperial court ordered your majesty to be in charge of Bingzhou to resist Xianbei. The imperial edict and seal are on the way."

Cai Yan summed it up concisely.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the hall also congratulated at the same time, smiling happily. Becoming the shepherd of Bingzhou means that this year's strategic plan has progressed a substantial step. Next, Liu Qing will be able to reorganize several counties in Bingzhou in a grand manner.

The four counties in the north of Bingzhou, Yanmen, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Wuyuan are already under Liu Qing's control, and now they deserve their names, while the rest of the counties still need to send people to smooth them out.

So the question comes back to talent.

It seems that it's time to push Xun Yu again and let him dig out some talents.

"My lord, for such a great event, we should hold a banquet to celebrate it!"

Guo Jia made a suggestion at the right time, Guo Jia and Princess Wannian were the most active in hosting a banquet, one would drink while the other ate.

"It should be so, pass on this king's decree, and three days later, there will be a big banquet!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone congratulated each other. Looking at the scene in front of them, Liu Qing was suddenly a little dazed.

This scene seems to have been similar. When the boss announced the treat, he and his colleagues were also in the same state, cheering and criticizing the boss for being stingy in the past.

I have to examine myself three times a day, am I embarrassed?Liu Qing thought.

It seems that as the team grows, more team building will do.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Qing, who returned to the study, took the letter again, read it again and again, and looked at the words Bingzhou Mu, sincerely at ease.

If the prefect is a local official, then the state shepherd is the real boss, ranking higher than the princes.

Although Liu Qing has actually controlled Jizhou, it is unreasonable without the approval of the court, so Liu Qing has kept a low profile so far.

He also encouraged Cao Cao and Liu Bei to enter the Yanzhou battlefield to dry the yellow (yuan) towel (shi), and then secretly instructed Fu Xie to help the field, and then threatened the family of a certain white horse general.

There is no way, because there is no official title, even if you have strength, you have to keep a low profile, you have to be a dragon or a tiger.

And now, Liu Qing is Bingzhou Shepherd.

"Husband, this is not an appointment edict. You have read it for a long time." Cai Yan said.

"Hahaha, Zhao Ji is here, this king is really happy!"

Cai Yan walked to Liu Qing's side, Liu Qing took him into his arms, leaned forward to smell the fragrance, and whispered in his ear: "Tomorrow, madam will go with me to find Hu Zhao , Ask him to come out to help me. Now that I am sitting in the two prefectures of Hebei and Merger, I may be able to use talents, but there are still a few. I can't divide the important positions of Guangguang County, but I still have many ideas in my heart, and I need to be able to use them. People do it."

"Husband, please Mr. Hu Zhao, don't rush for success."

Cai Yan looked up at Liu Qing and reminded him.

"Well, I know it in my heart. Besides, Gu Yuantan has been practicing in Changshan for a long time, so it's time for him to be alone."

Cai Yan smiled, she was pleased to hear that Liu Qing valued Gu Yong, after all he was his father's favorite student.

When mentioning Gu Yong, Liu Qing thought of Cai Yong, and then thought of Hu Zhao in a strange way.

Ding!An idea popped up out of the blue.

"Zhaoji, I have something to discuss with you!"

As Liu Qing spoke, he suddenly hugged Cai Yan tightly, Cai Yan frowned slightly, broke away from Liu Qing's embrace, and sat opposite Liu Qing, staring at Liu Qing seriously, waiting for him to say something.

When talking about business, you have to look like you are talking about business.

"I want to find a treasure land in Lingshan, build an academy, and then invite my two father-in-laws to sit in town. If I can invite Hu Zhao again, just imagine..."

The three giants gathered together, seeking scholars like a cloud, and then subtly influenced Liu Qing in their studies, sending a steady stream of talents to Liu Qing.

Cai Yan's eyes were bright, and the light flickered like stars. Obviously, Liu Qing's idea not only touched her, it should be said that she was extremely excited.

"Husband, if this is done, it will be a miracle!"

Cai Yan spoke highly of this.

"With my wife's words, I will definitely make this happen! Tomorrow, we will visit Mr. Hu Zhao. Before we go to Bingzhou, we will see each other first."

The next day, Liu Qing and Cai Yan rode a carriage towards the mountains outside Yecheng, and Dian Wei led a team of imperial guards to follow.

After passing about four pavilions, the carriage deviated from the official road and began to bump. The road ahead was not easy to walk. Choosing to live in seclusion in such a place shows that Hu Zhao is really terrified of being entangled.

When I arrived at the location, it was already late, and I am afraid it will be dark again when I go back.

From a distance, Liu Qing saw several thatched huts not far away, and that was the place where Hu Zhao lived in seclusion.

"Dian Wei, you wait here, do not disturb!"

I'm going to take a look at Kong Ming, Liu Qing thought.

Liu Qing and Cai Yan walked into a courtyard surrounded by wooden fences together.

A young boy was struggling to chop firewood, when he saw movement at the door, he held an ax and stared blankly at Cai Yan.

What are you looking at, I haven't seen a beautiful woman!
Indecent little thing!
Liu Qing cursed twice, and left Cai Yan behind.

"May I ask, is Mr. Kong Ming here?"

Liu Qing bowed his hands and asked for courtesy, trying to be as polite as possible.

"Who are you?" Shaotong asked blankly.

"Your Majesty, Liu Qing, this is my wife, Mrs. Cai. I heard that Mr. Kong Ming is here, and I am here to pay my respects."

Liu Qing briefly introduced and expressed his intention to come, and also concealed the titles of King of Bohai, Prefect of Yanmen, and State Shepherd.

Needless to say, it can be seen from the acquaintance of Hu Zhao and Cai Yong that if you know Liu Qing's name, you can know Liu Qing's details.

"Sir, I don't see any strangers!" Shaotong refused with one word.

Just as Liu Qing was about to speak, he suddenly felt his hand being pulled by Cai Yan, so he looked back at her.

Cai Yan took a step forward, smiled and said to the young boy, "Tell sir, my little daughter Cai Yan, whose name is Zhaoji, came to see you at the order of my father, please..."

"Ah? You are sister Zhaoji? No wonder you look so good-looking! You have grown up so much!"

Shaotong suddenly interrupted Cai Yan, and judging from his tone, he seemed to recognize Cai Yan.

But Cai Yan looked at him in confusion, obviously not impressed.

"It's me, Hu Shu!"

Hu Shu?The child adopted by Hu Zhao, Cai Yan remembered, was only a toddler the last time I saw him.

"I'm going to tell you, Sister Zhaoji is here!" Saying this, the young boy dropped the ax and ran away, shouting "Mister! Sir!"

Liu Qing felt that he was treated differently!
Sure enough, good-looking is better than any connotation. During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, many people proved this point.

"No wonder this little devil is staring at you, so he recognizes you, why don't you know anyone?" Liu Qing laughed.

"Hu Shu was only so young back then!" Cai Yan lowered his hand to show his height, then leaned closer to Liu Qing's ear and whispered: "And he is not as cute as when he was a child."

Pfft, Liu Qing almost laughed out loud.

"Ma'am, there are capable people around, so don't say that in front of them."

"Husband, I'm not stupid!" Cai Yan said angrily.

Liu Qing smiled, at this moment, a voice came from the hut.

"Niece Zhao Ji!"

Hearing the sound, Cai Yan hurriedly pulled Liu Qing to greet him.

"I've seen Mr.!"

Hu Zhao was dressed in plain gray robes and a black black cloth crown. Although he lived a secluded life, he was well-groomed and had an excellent appearance, but his cheekbones were extremely high, which was a bit of an eyesore.

"It's hot outside, get inside quickly!" Hu Zhao urged, turning his gaze to Liu Qing.

"This is the King of Bohai."

"I've seen you sir." Greeting again.

Hu Zhao nodded, "Being famous is worse than meeting, Zhaoji is so lucky!"

After speaking, he and Cai Yan went back to the house.

Liu Qing froze in place, quite puzzled.

Are you so familiar?When Cai Yan talked about him, he didn't seem to say that he was so familiar!

Liu Qing followed inside.

Although the thatched hut is simple, it is quite richly furnished. The main seat and guests are fully equipped.

For no reason, Liu Qing thought of the shabby room where "there are great scholars in talking and laughing, but there are no white people in communication".

But... In their eyes, he seemed to be a white man.

The two sat down, Hu Zhao also took a seat, and Shaotong served tea in a very sensible manner.

"The king of Bohai is here, and the plants are full of glory!" Hu Zhao is not pedantic, as Liu Qing expected, which shows that he still has a good impression of what he has done in his life.

"I just heard from Zhaoji yesterday that my husband is here, so I came here today. It's really presumptuous. It's because I'm about to go to Bingzhou and I can't stay in Jizhou much."

Liu Qing went straight to the point and threw out a series of arguments, first throwing the blame on Cai Yan, because the old man was more polite to her.

No matter how calmly he brings out the matter of Bingzhou's appointment to the post, if he asks, he can tell the matter of Bingzhou's pastoral care.

Then retreat as an advance, put aside the idea that you are here to recruit him, just come to be a guest.

Sure enough, Hu Zhao hurriedly asked: "The king of Bohai is going to take up his post in Bingzhou?"

"Hey!" Liu Qing sighed, "Xianbei's army is approaching the border, and the imperial court ordered me to be the shepherd of Bingzhou. After meeting Mr. today, I will lead the army north to fight against Xianbei!"

"The king of Bohai calms the chaos inside and resists insults outside. He is really the pillar of the great man!"

"Mr. is too well-reputed, and Qing can't do what he can do. Now that the Han Dynasty is declining, the court is divided, and internal and external troubles are in the darkest moment of the society. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Qing is especially sad! He can defend the border for the country and protect the state. It is Qing's luck that the people are in danger!"

Cai Yan listened, her eyes were shining brightly, almost starving, her face was full of sweetness of "my man is the hero of the world".

After hearing Liu Qing's rhetoric, Hu Zhao was silent for a while, took the tea with his usual expression, and took a sip.

Seeing this, Liu Qing and Caiyan also took a sip, and the excitement eased down.

After Cai Yan finished his tea, he continued to look at Liu Qing, with a story in his eyes, as if he was saying: The preparation is almost done, we can recruit.

But Liu Qing didn't take it seriously, and looked around the furnishings in the thatched hut openly.

Suddenly, Liu Qing chanted: "The mountain is no longer high, and if there are immortals, it will be named; if the water is not deep, there will be dragons; if there is a dragon, it will be spirited; this is a humble room, but I am virtuous!"

Hu Zhao was stunned suddenly, carefully reading Liu Qing's words, a gleam of light flashed in Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, he waited quietly for Liu Qing's next sentence.

Cai Yan was also quite surprised by Liu Qing's actions: My husband is like this, and his literary talent comes when he says it.

The sentence just now, with just a few words, compared a small thatched cottage with famous mountains and rivers, which is really a profound artistic conception and a grand layout.

Looking at the expectant eyes of Hu Zhao and Cai Yan, Liu Qing put aside the idea of ​​stopping, and decided to continue memorizing.

"The moss marks are green on the upper steps, and the grass is green on the curtain. There are great scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in communication."

Accompanied by Liu Qing's words, several people in the hut followed the things in the sentence, and glanced over the steps and curtains.

Liu Qing's words describe it just right.

And talking and laughing are very respectful, and there are no white people, like a perfect rainbow fart, which makes Hu Zhao, the owner of the thatched cottage, so proud that he can't help but pouted the corners of his mouth and stroked his beard.

"You can tune the plain qin and read the golden scriptures. There is no messy ears of silk and bamboo, and no labor of case books. Confucius said: Why is there such a thing?"

The last sentence quoted the words of Confucius, which can be said to be deafening. Using the words of Confucius to describe the cottage in front of you can no longer be called rainbow fart, but the ultimate praise.

At the same time, it also reflects Liu Qing's full-bodied poems and books. Although Liu Qing doesn't know where this sentence comes from or what the allusion is, anyway, he used to memorize it like this.

As for the two sentences that Liu Qing omitted, "Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Ziyun Pavilion in Xishu", it is really inappropriate to use it here. Zhuge Kongming in Nanyang is still young, so he does not exist, and the protagonist of Ziyun Pavilion, although he is He was a famous fu writer in the Western Han Dynasty, but he bowed himself to serve Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty. From the standpoint of Liu Qing's Han family clan, he was a real traitor and naturally he could not be praised.

After Liu Qing finished reading, Hu Zhao thought about it for a long time. Although the structure of this word is very strange, it is still catchy and resounding, which is really excellent.

"Qing has feelings for watching Mister's thatched cottage, so he's making a fool of himself!" Liu Qing said shamelessly.

"My husband is brilliant in literature, does this article have a name?"

Hu Zhao looked at Liu Qing expectantly, Liu Qing pretended to be thoughtful, and then said, "How about calling it a humble room inscription?"

"Humble room inscription." Cai Yan repeated, "Cai!"

"The literary talent of the king of Bohai, I admire you!"

Hu Zhao praised it out of politeness, but Liu Qing was very curious, because compared with the lofty intentions of this article, the literary talent is really insignificant.

With Hu Zhao's talent and learning, it is naturally impossible not to appreciate it.

He chose to avoid the important and take the light of the light, and hid his true thoughts in his heart. Perhaps this was related to his complex of loathing officialdom.

Liu Qing felt that he had to dig again.

"Mr. is too famous. Showing off your talents and learning in front of your husband is undoubtedly... a classmate! Qing just thinks that although the hut is simple and simple, if the occupants have lofty aspirations and have the world in mind, what should they do? It's just like me. Tu Zongqin, the way of heaven is impermanent, so what if disasters happen year after year, what if the court is incompetent, internal and external troubles, as long as my heart is bright and the people are in my heart, I will be able to open up a peaceful world for the people of Bingzhou."

As Liu Qing spoke, he stood up unknowingly, Hu Zhao and Cai Yan looked up at the person in front of them in a daze, and Liu Qing suddenly found that Cai Yan was crying.

Hu Zhao's heart is like a bright mirror. He doesn't know that what Liu Qing said is actually referring to him. It is really appropriate to compare the shabby room to this dark man, but Hu Zhao's way of avoiding the world is obviously not in line with the lofty intentions of the shabby room inscription .

To put it more bluntly, the current him is unworthy!
Cai Yong once mentioned to him the wisdom, courage and benevolence of the King of Bohai, and called Liu Qing a person who could be assisted. Hu Zhao always thought that Liu Qing would come to pay homage to him and recruit him, but he never imagined that the first time they met was actually such a situation.

hateful!Cai Yong has reservations about him!

The King of Bohai is not only wisdom, courage and benevolence, but his talent, learning, and ambition are even more dazzling.

In the small shabby room, it stabbed him so hard that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

This glare is precisely a kind of shame.

The way of heaven is impermanent, so what if disasters happen year after year, what if the court is ignorant, what about internal and external troubles, the King of Bohai can say such a thing, so he flattens the yellow scarf, defends against foreign enemies, and fights everywhere. Choose to escape the wilderness.

High judgment.

"Why are you crying madam?" Liu Qing knelt down and wiped away his tears.

Cai Yan smiled with tears in his eyes, "Weeping with joy."

The movement of the two also awakened Hu Zhao, whose thoughts were racing.

Liu Qing supported Cai Yan to get up, and saluted him, "I hope you don't take the liberty of disturbing me today, sir. It's getting late, and I should go back to the city."

For a moment, Hu Zhao didn't know whether to see off the guest or keep him.

"Li Wen, Governor of Weijun, befriend me. If you need help here, sir, feel free to ask him!" Liu Qing finished his confession and left.

Really, gone.

Hu Zhao didn't even react yet.

Shouldn't King Bohai recruit himself?
Although it is difficult for him to recruit, shouldn't King Bohai give it a try?

"Sir? Sir?"

"Sir!" Hu Shu shouted twice, but there was no movement, so he shouted loudly again.

"Ok?"

"Why don't you see off the guests today? The guests have all gone away!" Hu Shu said.

Hu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and he was actually rude.

"Cai Bozhe, Cai Bozhe, you have hurt me so much!" Hu Zhao murmured, "It's not as good as the younger generation. It really is true that the youth is better than the blue. With such a man of lofty ideals, there is hope for the revival of the great man!"

Liu Qing and Cai Yan left on their own, and returned to the carriage.

"Husband, I have hinted to you several times, but I can tell Mr. Kong Ming that if he has no intention of doing this, father should not bring it up." Cai Yan said as he walked.

Obviously, she also understands this truth, Hu Zhao at least has intentions, people are always used to having illusions, and there will be no real despair.

Even in history, he was invited out by Cao Cao, but he may have been disappointed later, and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains to teach students.

Liu Qing replied with a smile: "It is precisely because of his intentions that I can't speak easily. In fact, my husband's heart is like a mirror, and he knows very well that the purpose of our visit is to ask him to come out of the mountain to serve. Since he knows, why should I say so?" ?”

Since he knows, why should I say it?Cai Yan couldn't understand what she said, but she was greatly shocked. Fortunately, she was used to Liu Qing often uttering surprising words that she didn't understand.

"Actually, this is a subtle feeling that I know well, similar to when you and I first met." Liu Qing said another surprising word.

The current state of him and Hu Zhao is regarded as ambiguous.

Cai Yan didn't understand, but was frightened.

This trip was very smooth. Liu Qing once thought that he was here to help the Han Dynasty, fight for world hegemony, and make up for historical regrets.

Then, seeing Hu Zhaoda's shocked expression, Liu Qing said:

Really fragrant!
