Han Dao world

Yang Biao was stunned, and after a while, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not. Jia Xu was the mastermind behind the Xiliang Army's counterattack on Chang'an. Showing favor, he will naturally feel at ease, why should His Majesty put himself in danger? Your Majesty, I object."

"Mr. Yang, since Duan Yan does not rebel, what danger is there for me?" Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling Yang Biao not to worry. "I went to Duan Yao's camp not only for Jia Xu, but also for Duan Yao and other Xiliang people. Although Wang Situ passed away, the hidden dangers left by him have not been eliminated. Jia Xu is not the only one who has doubts? If this heart disease cannot be solved, how will the imperial court treat the Liangzhou people in the future?"

Yang Biao stared at Liu Xie for a while, then sighed softly.

"Your Majesty is right, but this... is too risky."

"No matter how dangerous it is, can it be more dangerous than when Li Jue and Guo Si are attacking each other?" Liu Xieyu said earnestly: "Mr. Yang, the arrow marks on Chengyu are still there, reminding me all the time."

Yang Biao sighed. "The ministers are incompetent, ashamed of the late emperor, ashamed of your Majesty."

Liu Xie waved his hand. "Let's talk about these things after the current difficulties are over. It is not anyone's responsibility for the big man to come to this point. If you want to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, examine yourself three times, and even scrape the bones to cure the poison, all of which are unavoidable."

Surprised expression appeared in Yang Biao's eyes, and he took a deep look at Liu Xie.

From Liu Xie's seemingly calm tone, he heard Liu Xie's determination and will.

"Even though I am old, I would like to follow His Majesty's side, even if I die." Yang Biao bowed and bowed with a dignified expression.

Liu Xie nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand to help Yang Biao up. "Then please trouble Yang Gong and Wei Wei to come up with a charter first, and then discuss with Gongqing, so as to facilitate this matter as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

"only."

-

"Your Majesty is going to see Jia Xu at Duan Yao's camp?"

After listening to Yang Biao's report, Shi Sun Rui put down the document in his hand with a stunned expression.

He knew that the Son of Heaven wanted to win over Duan Yao so as not to be attacked, and he also knew that Jia Xu was quite prestigious among the generals in Xiliang, but he didn't know that the Son of Heaven attached so much importance to Jia Xu that he took the initiative to go to Duan Yao's camp to meet Jia Xu.

Yang Biao nodded and looked at Shi Sun Rui with a half-smile.

He and Shi Sunrui have known each other for many years, and they know each other well.

The emperor asked him to discuss with Shi Sun Rui first, and he knew that Shi Sun Rui must have met the emperor alone and gained the trust of the emperor, so he told Shi Sun Rui about his itinerary for the past few days without any cover Sun Rui.

The emperor's going to Duan Yan's camp will inevitably arouse strong opposition from the officials, especially generals such as Yang Ding and Yang Feng.

He needs the help of scholar Sun Rui to contend with Yang Ding and others.

As a guard, Sun Rui not only has a certain amount of troops, but also has an influence in the army that he, a captain, cannot match, and has the confidence to bargain with Yang Ding and others.

Shi Sun Rui thought for a long time, raised his head again, and looked at Yang Biao. "Uncle, the emperor once said that he should use Taoism to control the art and follow the story of Guangwu. Now it seems that this is probably the first step for him to solve the problem."

"What's the solution?" Yang Biao said with a smile.

Shi Sunrui didn't hide it, and told the story of his meeting with the emperor, and finally said: "Uncle, you should see the opportunity quickly, and Dezu came at the right time. I have written a book and sent someone to Jingzhou to call The dog will come to serve you."

Yang Biao smiled, stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, feeling indescribably relieved.

The hero sees the same.

Shi Sunrui made a decision so quickly, which is naturally an expression of confidence in the emperor, just as he decided to call Yang Xiu to meet him after talking with the emperor.

It's a pity that the little Zhuzi has good eyes but low hands. After being rejected by the emperor, he only knows to sulk, but he doesn't know how to examine himself.

It would be a bit embarrassing if Shi Sun Meng, the son of Shi Sun Rui, came from behind because of this.

"Junrong, those who share the same desire will win. The emperor has the ambition to rejuvenate, and we, as Han officials, should naturally help each other. But you and I alone are not enough, and we need to gather more heroes to work together to assist the emperor. If we can unite as one, we can build peace again.”

The scholar Sun Rui glanced at Yang Biao and laughed silently. "Wen Xian, what exactly do you want to say, you might as well say it bluntly."

Yang Biao also laughed. "When the country is in chaos, think of a good general. The first emperor relied on Gai Yuangu (Gai Xun) as a dry city. Now that the son uses military force, the five divisions should also act as the emperor to take the lead and put down the rebellion. Live up to Gai Yuangu's will."

Shi Sun Rui laughed out loud and pointed at Yang Biao. "You..." Then he said: "Boxian, compared to Wei Bojun, I would like to recommend another person."

Yang Biao looked at Shi Sun Rui in puzzlement. "Who?"

"Song Guo." Shi Sun Rui said: "Although Wang Yue's swordsmanship is good, but he has been in the bureaucracy for a long time, and he doesn't understand etiquette, so he may not be able to protect His Majesty well. Song Guo was a ranger when he was young, and he became an official when he was a senior. His swordsmanship may not be as good as Wang Yue's, but his courage is more than enough."

Suddenly, Yang Biao nodded in agreement. "Song Guo and Yang Feng have a friendship of colleagues, leading him to be at His Majesty's side can also make Yang Feng feel at ease. As for Fu Wan, I will explain it, and I will not embarrass Junrong."

Sun Rui smiled wryly. "It's not that I'm trying to avoid suspicion, it's really at this moment, the overall situation should be the most important thing, and it's not appropriate to make extravagant problems."

Yang Biao sighed with emotion. "Never forget the past, the teacher of the future, you and I encourage each other."

Chapter 16

When Yang Biao returned to his residence, it was already dark.

The food is placed on the table and covered with gauze.Yang Xiu was leaning aside, holding a scroll in one hand and chasing away flies with a cattail fan in the other.Hearing footsteps, he quickly got up, straightened his clothes, and saluted respectfully.

"Father."

Yang Biao glanced at Yang Xiu, and a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes. "Have not eat yet?"

"How can a son dare to preside over the father's return?"

As Yang Xiu said, he ordered someone to fetch water and wait for Yang Biao to wash himself.Yang Biao ran for a day, his face was covered with dust, and he felt much refreshed after washing.He greeted Yang Xiu to take a seat, and ordered someone to bring some wine to drink with Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu was very surprised and said with a smile, "Father's trip went well?"

Yang Biao raised his hand, unable to hide the smile on his brow. "Entering the room with no thickness, there must be room for recovery."

Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly. "Father is brilliant, son is far behind."

Yang Biao shook his head. "Boy, it's not Naigong who is brilliant, but the son of heaven." After he finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, and said again with emotion: "This is the luck of the great man."

Yang Xiu's face became unnatural, Qi Qi said: "The Son of Heaven...why is he so holy?"

Yang Biao tilted his head and looked sideways at Yang Xiu, his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Yang Xiu was restless and could only force a smile.

The attendant brought the wine, and Yang Biao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, moistened his throat, and told the story of the emperor.

"In the sixth year of Zhongping, Xinwei's change, the emperor was the king of Chenliu, and he went out of Luoyang with the young emperor to Xiaopingjin, blocking the river. Dong Zhuo led [-] Xiliang soldiers to the city. The young emperor was afraid and could not speak. The emperor calmly responded. From the beginning to the end, nothing was lost.”

Yang Xiu was awe-inspiring, his complexion changed slightly. "A nine-year-old boy, how dare he have such courage?"

Yang Biao nodded, and then said: "In the fourth year of Chuping, the emperor tried more than forty Confucian students. The first one was awarded the position of Langzhong, and the second prince gave up others. , Going to leave the native land, seeking food and resources, and not being professional. A child enters school, returns home empty-handed, and is appointed as a farmer. He will never be honored. I am very embarrassed. Those who are dismissed according to their subjects will be regarded as the prince's family."

Yang Xiu took a deep breath and sighed, "Even though the Son of Heaven is young, he has great benevolence."

Yang Biao was noncommittal, and then said: "Last year, there was a severe drought in Sanfu. The emperor avoided the main hall to ask for rain, and sent the imperial servant Hou Wen out of Taicang to make porridge with rice and beans. After a few days, the dead did not come down. The emperor tried to make porridge, but he knew that Hou Wen was greedy. The minister ordered everyone below to accept Hou Wen's research, and the emperor ordered fifty sticks to make Hou Wen make porridge again, so as to make atonement. Hou Wen felt ashamed, so he tried his best to feed the hungry people More than enough."

Yang Xiu subconsciously sat up straight and slapped his thigh hard. "Wonderful, if the emperor kills Hou Wen, although the law can be clarified, the relief will inevitably be delayed, and a few more people will die. Punishment but not killing, so that they can take their own responsibility, it is a policy that can achieve both."

Yang Biao smiled, drank the wine in the glass, and then said: "In February of this year, Guo and Li attacked each other. The arrow hit the front of the imperial court and shot through the curtain. Li Jue was afraid, and the emperor sat still. In October, in Xin Feng and Guo Bang sent people to burn the emperor's school at night, and the civil and military panicked, but the emperor's face was as usual. On the night of Renyin this month, there was a red aura permeating the purple palace, and people were panic-stricken. The emperor lived in the tent for several days without moving."

Yang Biao drank another glass of wine and looked at Yang Xiu with burning eyes. "Which of these things can you do?"

Yang Xiu blushed, pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Son, I'm ashamed. Hou Wen's matter may be feasible, but other... can't."

"You still have self-knowledge." Yang Biao snorted, and said, "How many things can Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu do?"

Yang Xiu smiled wryly, bowed his head and remained silent.

"How many of Yuan Benchu's sons, Yuan Xiansi and Yuan Xianyi, and Yuan Gonggong's son, Yuan Boyang, can do?"

Yang Xiu let out a long sigh.

"Boy, a gentleman sees the opportunity and does not wait for the end of the day."

Yang Xiu's heart moved, and he remembered what the scholar Sun Rui said that day.

-

Early the next morning, Yang Xiu got up early, washed up, and came to the plateau to see him.

Liu Xie had just finished practicing sword skills for a while, and was taking advantage of the intermission to discuss gains and losses with Wang Yue. He was somewhat surprised when he heard that Yang Xiu had come to see him.

He knew that Yang Xiu hadn't left, but he didn't expect Yang Xiu to see him again so soon.

Young people, especially young people with good backgrounds and high talents, are somewhat arrogant and will not bow their heads so easily.

Even if you have to bow your head, you have to wait for the right opportunity to save yourself some face.

Yang Xiu was so quick, maybe he came to bid farewell, and before leaving, he said a few harsh words to enjoy himself.

Celebrities, don't they all have this tone.

But if he wants to find a sense of presence with me, he is wrong.

I must let him see the invincible demeanor of Jianzheng scholars.

While thinking about it, Liu Xie ordered someone to tell Yang Xiu Shangyuan.When Yang Xiu came close, Liu Xie took a look and felt that he might be wrong.

Yang Xiu's expression was solemn, without a trace of arrogance, he didn't look like he was here to scold and fight.

"Sir, Hongnong Yangxiu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Xie saluted. "I'll see you at dawn, Mr. Yang. I don't know what advice I have."

"The minister is not talented, but he is a minister, and he is proficient in writing and ink. He is willing to go on a horse for His Majesty, serve the pen and ink, pass the news, and do his best."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu in surprise, and Wang Yue also looked shocked.

With Yang Xiu's background and temperament, it is really not easy to say such humble words.

Was this taken care of by the Taiwei?

Not like ah, there is no redness on the face.

As the saying goes, don't raise your hand to hit a smiling face.Although Liu Xie looked down on Yang Xiu, he had to save some face for Yang Biao.Taking a step back, Yang Xiu is so sincere, if he refuses directly, no one will dare to recommend himself in the future.

"The son of Duke Yang, how can he be a walking horse, he should be Huang Menlang according to the rules."

The corners of Yang Xiu's mouth twitched, his face was burning hot, and he almost became angry from embarrassment.

There is no doubt that this is the emperor's punishment for him. It can even be said that the emperor still does not want to accept him, deliberately using such a nearly humiliating position to refuse him in disguise.

Huang Menlang is a member of Huangmen Shilang, a newly established official position in the first year of Zhongping.

In September of the sixth year of Zhongping, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu entered the palace to punish eunuchs, and all the offices in the palace were empty.

To put it bluntly, it means that the foreign officials who have won a great victory will reward each other for their merits and share power.

At that time, Yang Biao was appointed as Sikong, so he was naturally qualified to recruit his sons to become officials, even though he was not weak at the time.

But he was unmoved and did not take this opportunity to become an official.

Now the emperor said that he was Huang Menlang according to the rules, which means that he came late and made up for this opportunity.

Before changing it, he would definitely walk away and never see him again.

But after talking with his father Yang Biao last night, he knew that he had no other choice. Unless he really retired to the countryside, he could only endure it and hope that one day he would be recognized and trusted by the emperor.

"Wei!" Yang Xiu bowed and saluted, tears rolling in his eyes.

Liu Xie caught a glimpse of it inadvertently and was greatly surprised.

After all, you are the seed of reading, a writer, very emotional, so excited?

Chapter 17 I Really Didn't Do It On Purpose

Conscience of heaven and earth, Liu Xie really didn't mean to humiliate Yang Xiu.

In his memory of the two generations, the first step for the children of officials in the Han Dynasty to become an official was to be a man. The only difference lies in what kind of man he is and how long he has been in office.

A person with a good family background and a wide network of contacts will go through the motions in the position of Lang Guan and will be transferred to another position soon.

If you have an ordinary family background and no connections, you may stay in the position of Lang for more than ten years until you feel bored and resign voluntarily.

Wang Yue has been Huben Lang for more than ten years.

Jia Xu also promoted Xiaolian as a man, stayed in the palace for several years without being promoted, and finally resigned due to illness.

In contrast, Xun Yu, who was co-interpreting with Jia Xu, also regarded Xiaolian as a man, and he was worshiped as a palace guard within a few days.

In his opinion, appointing Yang Xiu as Huang Menlang was a perfectly normal decision, without any discrimination.After making a decision, he continued to practice martial arts and asked Yang Xiu to go through the entry procedures by himself.

With Yang Biao's status in the court, Shaofu Tian Fen would be polite when he saw Yang Xiu, and it was impossible to embarrass him.

Yang Xiu got off the plateau, looked around, and saw Zhong Yao, the servant of the Huangmen, standing at the side. He didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he thought about it, he was considered a colleague from now on.

"Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Yao was very surprised, and quickly returned the salute. "What advice do you have, son?"

Yang Xiu forced a smile twice. "Meng Tianzi did not give up, and was enlisted as Huang Menlang. He will work with Zhong Jun from now on, and I hope Zhong Jun will give you more advice."

Zhong Yao was very surprised and couldn't help but look at Yang Xiu more.

Yang Xiu was extremely depressed.
