Han Dao world

"Your Majesty, my concubine is not careful. I forgot one thing last time I saw you."

"You said."

"In the fourth year of Chuping, Yuan Tan Zengmeng, Liu Bei, who was the governor of Yuzhou at the time, was promoted as Xiaolian, and he was appointed as Lang according to the rules. Due to the delay of current events, he has not been able to join the post. Now Shandong will be settled, but Jizhou is not settled. He is willing to be your majesty. Lead the horses and fall into the stirrups, or recruit parts, and listen to His Majesty's orders."

Mrs. Yuan bowed to the ground. "I take the liberty to ask Your Majesty for permission so that she can make up for her mistakes."

Liu Xie raised his brows lightly, then lowered them back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed and then disappeared.

Sure enough, there is a request.

If you can't gain a foothold in the court, even the largest family will decline.After all, you are still parasites attached to the imperial power, why pretend to be noble.

Especially the Yuan family in Runan, while being related to Yuan She, the regular servant of the Central Committee, generally shouted that he would not be at peace with the eunuch party, and he didn't know where he got the face.

"It's good to be willing to serve the imperial court. It's fine to recruit parts. The imperial court has no shortage of troops. It's no problem to be a man, but what he wants to be a man depends on his ability."

Liu Xie smiled. "With son Dezu in front, madam should know the rules, right?"

Madam Yuan's heart that had just been let go lifted up again, and even her head hurt a little.

It is a good thing that the emperor agreed to Yuan Tan's appointment, but it is impossible for Yuan Tan to be satisfied with an ordinary official, holding a halberd on duty, at least he should be a casual rider beside the emperor.

But with Yuan Tan's ability, can he meet the standard of casual riding?

She was in a dilemma.

The emperor gave the opportunity, and it would be a bit ignorant to bargain again.

In desperation, Madam Yuan bowed to thank her.

Watching Mrs. Yuan leave again, Liu Xie pondered whether to issue another edict to Yuan Shao to stimulate him.After thinking about it for a while, I decided to wait a little longer.

A good meal is not afraid of being late, too frequent stimulation will be boring, and you will get tired easily.

The Ruying people put pressure on openly and secretly, wanting to seek pardon for Yuan Shao, and maybe even want to embrace Yuan Shao into the court, so let's see who has more means.

Of course he could refuse directly, but that would be boring and not fun.

You have your rules, I have mine, and my rules are bigger than yours, how do you fight with me?

-

Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others were both happy and worried when they learned that Yuan Tan could be a man, but he had to be selected according to the rules, especially when he wanted to be a loose rider next to the emperor.

The good news is that so far, I haven't seen the emperor deliberately making things difficult, but just following the rules.These rules are not for Yuan Tan alone, but for everyone.

That being the case, there will be no obvious obstacles for them to become officials in the future.Even if the emperor does not accept them, they can still be officials by virtue of their relatives and friends in the court.

Worryingly, Yuan Tan decided that their starting point would not be too high.All the previous resumes were reset to zero, and everything had to start from scratch.It's okay for a middle-aged person like Xun Chen, but Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others are basically hopeless.

In the past, there were opportunities for super promotion such as the merger of the three prefectures.With the current situation, no one dares to be so blatant, even Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong have to think twice before acting.

Madam Yuan came forward and still had to follow the rules, which is a clear proof.

Although unwilling, after repeated weighing, Xun Chen and others could only accept the reality, and asked Yuan Tan to practice civil and martial arts diligently, prepare to take the exam, and strive to become a higher-ranking official.

It's best to be a servant on horseback.

The plan has been decided, and the next question is to notify Yuan Shao of the imperial edict of dismissal.

According to the rules, after Yuan Shao received the imperial edict, he had to hand over the seal ribbon and thank him for his kindness.They could delay it for a day or two on the grounds that Yuan Shao was seriously ill, but they couldn't delay it for too long.Otherwise, the emperor will be angered, and the consequences will be more serious.

This task fell on Feng Ji.

Xun Chen had already turned against Yuan Shao because of Han Fu's affairs, and Guo Tu also lost Yuan Shao's trust because he supported Yuan Tan to put Yuan Shao under house arrest.The only ones Yuan Shao can listen to now are Feng Ji and Mrs. Yuan.

Madam Yuan's mouth is too poisonous, they are afraid that they will directly piss Yuan Shao to death.

Originally, they hoped that Yuan Shao would die early so as not to hurt others.Now it is different, Yuan Tan is about to become an official, if Yuan Shao dies, Yuan Tan will have to go back to mourn, and the matter of becoming an official will be postponed indefinitely.

So Yuan Shao can't die now.

Feng Ji was also very helpless, so he bit the bullet and came to see Yuan Shao.

To their surprise, Yuan Shao's reaction was very calm.After listening to the edict, he took out the seal ribbon that had been pressed under the pillow and handed it to Feng Ji.

"Yuan Tu, after fifty years, I will not be young. Although I still have energy, my heart is ashamed. Boqiu died in Dong Zhuo's prison, Ziyuan was destroyed by the road, and the Nanyang heroes who followed me were withered. , you are the only one left. You don’t have to follow me anymore, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about Nanyang Feng.”

Feng Ji was moved for a moment and couldn't help crying.

When they gathered under Yuan Shao's command, they were full of talents and high-spirited.Who would have thought that ten years later, they would fall into such a field, which is embarrassing.

"The three armies can win the commander, but the common man can't lose the ambition. The lord should cheer up, work hard to eat, and recover soon."

Yuan Shao chuckled, and looked into the distance, surprisingly calm.

"I heard that the Son of Heaven recruits soldiers from all directions, and will be greatly read in Ping's optimism?"

"That's true."

"You said, will Jingsheng come?"

Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He is a person who has experienced those things during the Zhongping period, so he naturally knows the emperor's intention to choose the military parade in Pinglian.Among the old memories from that year, only Liu Biao would make Yuan Shao care about him so much.

But Liu Biao's ability and prestige are far inferior to Yuan Shao's. With Yuan Shao's defeat and disheartened feelings, what can Liu Biao do?

Taking a step back, what does it have to do with Yuan Shao whether Liu Biao comes or not?

He wouldn't expect Liu Biao to lead his troops to rescue him, would he?

"My lord, Zhang Ji and Ding Chong are in Nanyang, it doesn't make any difference whether Jing Sheng comes or not."

"I know." Yuan Shao coughed twice. "I just want to see how he surrenders to the emperor."

Chapter 813

Liu Biao did not come.

he is sick.Dizziness, very severe, unable to see people, need to recuperate.

It was his eldest son Liu Qi and Zhangling prefect Kuai Yue who rushed to Luoyang to participate in the review with two thousand infantry.

Kuai Yue and Yuan Shao used to be colleagues, and both served in He Jin's General's Mansion.Kuai Yue once advised He Jin to act first and kill the eunuchs.He Jin refused to listen, and Kuai Yue felt that he could not accomplish anything, so he took the initiative to ask to be released.

Yuan Shao also wholeheartedly hoped that He Jin would eradicate the eunuch party, and appreciated Kuai Yue's attitude, and worked from it to arrange for Kuai Yue to be the Ruyang Order.

Ruyang is the hometown of the Yuan family.After making the Ruyang Order, even if it is Yuan's parental official, other idlers will not have such an opportunity.

Later, Liu Biao was released as the governor of Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue also resigned from office and returned to his hometown, and assisted Liu Biao in controlling Jingzhou with his brothers Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others.During this process, Kuai Yue contributed the most and was appointed by Liu Biao as the prefect of Zhangling.

Zhangling is composed of several counties cut off from Nanyang County. It has a small household registration, but its location is extremely important.Liu Biao arranged Kuai Yue here, not only as a reward to Kuai Yue, but also as a trust in Kuai Yue's ability.

After arriving in Luoyang, Kuai Yue came to see Yuan Shao immediately.

Seeing Yuan Shao for the first time, Kuai Yue was startled.

Yuan Shao in front of him had gray hair, sunken eye sockets, gray face, skinny and skinny, wrapped in a thick brocade quilt, motionless.

This is still the high-spirited family member in his impression.

"Brother Benchu? Brother Benchu?"

Amid Kuai Yue's call, Yuan Shao's eyelids trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes, looking at Kuai Yue blankly with a puzzled expression.

"You are……"

"I'm Xiangyang Kuai Yue." Kuai Yue sat down beside the bed and took Yuan Shao's hand, feeling surprised again.

Yuan Shao's hands were not only thin, but also cold and wet, like a snake about to shed its skin.

"Kuai Yidu." A gleam of light flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, he turned his head and looked away, but he didn't find Liu Biao, and then he realized that the light in his eyes quickly dimmed. "Jing Sheng didn't come?"

"He's sick." Kuai Yue said with some embarrassment. "It is not advisable to travel far."

The corner of Yuan Shao's mouth twitched.

sick?I'm afraid it's a heart attack.Although Liu Biao was not as ostentatious as him, he did a lot of things that were presumptuous.In addition, Zhang Ji and Ding Chong are in Nanyang, once he leaves Xiangyang, he may not be able to go back.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid we will never see each other again in this life." Yuan Shao sighed. "Forget it, I'll wait for him on Huangquan Road, and then discuss world affairs."

Kuai Yue wanted to speak but stopped.

Yuan Shao looked like this, he didn't even have the courage to ask for death, and he still refused to let go of his poor self-esteem.Whatever world affairs are discussed on Huangquan Road, the discussion is also about underground affairs.

Kuai Yue lacked interest, said a few polite words to Yuan Shao, and left.

Although Yuan Shao still had a lot to say, but his physical strength was exhausted, he had no choice but to give up.

After going out the door, Yuan Tan who was talking to Liu Qi greeted him, bowed his hands in salute, and glanced quietly into the room.

"Xiansi, why is your father so ill?" Kuai Yue asked suspiciously.

He probably knew why Yuan Shao came here, but he couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao became so ill, and after becoming so ill, he refused to die and insisted on suffering.

Is it that hard to die?

In his view, Yuan Shao should not have come to Luoyang, and he should have sacrificed his life for righteousness when he was captured by Yuan Shu.Thinking about it makes people feel unbelievable that Yuan Shao would be captured by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Tan was helpless and said a few perfunctory words.

The matter between their father and son brothers is too complicated to be understood by outsiders.

"Mr. Kuai, Jingzhou has a well-off household registration, why only 2000 people came?"

When Kuai Yue heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. "Although Jingzhou has a rich household registration, it cannot be compared with Jizhou. Besides, the war has not stopped, and the army is stationed in various places, so there are only so many that can be drawn."

Yuan Tan blushed, so he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Kuai doesn't know something. The emperor summoned soldiers from all directions Yu Ping optimistically to review, and then he will go to Jizhou. I'm afraid it will be difficult for two thousand soldiers, so we can only follow the emperor. But That's fine, I may have the opportunity to ask Kuai Jun for help at any time."

Kuai Yue was taken aback for a moment. "Are you also at the side of the Son of Heaven?"

"Meng Tianzi will not give up, I will be Xiaolian as a man, and I am preparing for the exam."

Kuai Yue listened and exchanged glances with Liu Qi.

In this regard, Liu Qi is much better than Yuan Tan.Liu Biao has never broken with the imperial court, and he has been the shepherd of Jingzhou for several years. According to the system, Liu Qi can become an official and become a man.

As for what kind of Lang Guan can be, it's hard to say.

Liu Qi himself is young and wants to make a career, so this time he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Luoyang to participate in the review.

But in Kuai Yue's view, although Liu Qi is not stupid, he is not smart either. He can be a stable official, accumulate qualifications, and be released as a county magistrate in the future. No no.

It was himself, who really wanted to take this opportunity to conquer Jizhou to show his skills and prove his strength.

The two previous protagonists—He Jin and Liu Biao—are not heroes, and they haven't given him much room to display.Although the emperor is young, he has the ability to turn the tide, and he will be a generation of heroes in the future.To be able to work under such a Mingjun is extremely tempting for him.

But after hearing what Yuan Tan said, he realized that he might be thinking too much.

The emperor has many soldiers and generals, and his 2000 people have no chance to be alone. They can only follow the trend and follow what others say.

If you want to be successful, you must find another way.

Almost without hesitation, Kuai Yue thought of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Before he could figure out how to find Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Yuan Tan poured cold water on him.

Madam Yuan came forward to intercede, but she only won the chance for Yuan Tan to become a man.What about Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong?Besides, Mrs. Yuan is a woman and Taoist family anyway, and she doesn't want to be an official, so she is willing to make an old face for Yuan Tan. Will Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong affect their future for him?

Kuai Yue was very disappointed, and suddenly understood Yuan Shao's feelings.

It was an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

This era is no longer their era.

-

Although he thought it was useless, Kuai Yue still asked someone to send a message to Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, hoping to meet each other.

Kuai Yue was a senior scholar in Xiangyang, and his son Kuai Qi was Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong could not refuse, but agreed to meet.But they also knew what Kuai Yue wanted to say, and after discussing it, they informed the emperor first.

What can be promised to Kuai Yue ultimately depends on the attitude of the emperor.

After listening to the report, Liu Xie looked calm.

He knew that Liu Biao had doubts, so he sent Liu Qi and Kuai Yue to try his hand, but he didn't think Liu Biao had any right to bargain.

As cowardly as you are, how dare you rebel?

Zhang Ji and Ding Chong would be happy to send their troops south to capture Xiangyang.

"Is Liu Biao going to be sixty?" Liu Xie sighed with a look of compassion. "Since that's the case, don't work so hard, let him come to Luoyang to recuperate. It's not bad to have Yuan Shao as a companion, to chat with old friends and catch up with old friends."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong understood.
