Liu Qi led a few people and walked over from the opposite side. When he saw Yuan Shu, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed his hands and saluted.

"Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Shu turned to look at Liu Qi, hesitant.This person looks familiar, but he can't remember who it is at the moment.

Seeing this, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am Liu Qi and Liu Boyu, the son of Liu Jingsheng. I have met you before."

Yuan Shu suddenly realized that he didn't get off his horse, but bent down and looked at Liu Qi for a moment. "You have changed a lot, and you are a little more heroic than your father. Why didn't you take the casual riding test?"

Liu Qi regretted it immediately, he should have pretended not to see it just now.

Seeing Liu Qi's expression, Yuan Shu was stunned. "Didn't pass the exam?"

Liu Qi nodded awkwardly. "If you can't do it, you can't do it. It makes you laugh."

Yuan Shu waved his hand, disapproving. "I can't blame you for this. It's your father who can't teach his son well. But then again, I have no shame in this point. My kid is not as good as you. He eats and dies every day."

Thinking of Yuan Yao's inaction, Yuan Shu sighed.

Liu Qi also knew about Yuan Yao, so he got a little closer to Yuan Shu inexplicably. "You are too humble. Your son is indifferent, quiet and inactive, which is also good."

"It's useless to be quiet and do nothing." Yuan Shu waved his hand, and said: "But this is good, knowing that I have no ability, can't accomplish anything, and don't cause trouble for me. Sigh, what are you busy with?"

"It's nothing. An old friend just came back from Yizhou. I'm here to visit and see if I can help."

"Who is it?" Yuan Shu raised his head and looked at the inner door where Liu Qi had just come out. "Do I know you?"

Just as Liu Qi was about to speak, he suddenly felt vigilant, and then changed his words: "You don't know what to say. I have something to do, so I won't be with the envoy. See you, see you."

After speaking, before Yuan Shu could reply, he left in a hurry.

Yuan Shu stroked his chin, looked at Liu Qi's back, smiled, and shook his head at Chang Nu and the others.

"Go in and look for it, and see which unknown person can actually let Liu Biao's son come to visit."

Chang Nu and the others responded and rushed in.

Liu Qi looked back and saw it from a distance, and couldn't help crying secretly.If I said something casually, I was afraid that I would cause trouble for my old friend again.He really wanted to turn around, but he also knew that he couldn't stop Yuan Shu, he would only make things worse.The only way is to go back and report to father Liu Biao.

Liu Qi hurried back to Yuan's gate, found Liu Biao, and explained what happened to Yuan Shu just now.

Liu Biao frowned. "Which one are you talking about?"

"Yuan Zhongzhen (Yuan Kang)'s son Yuan Gui."

Liu Biao thought for a while and waved his hand. "There's nothing wrong with his family, so don't worry about it. Besides, even if something happens, Yuan Gongtong doesn't dare to do anything. This Zhuzi looks like a scoundrel, but in fact he seems like a mirror in his heart. He has his own sense of who can be messed with and who can't be messed with. "

"Is there anything Yuan Zhong really can't mess with?"

Liu Biao smiled slightly. "Boyu, you are still too young."

-

"Son of Yuan Zhongzhen?" Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, stroking his beard, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"My lord, he seems to have brought a lot of Sichuan brocade with him when he came back from Yizhou." Chang Nu said, holding up a roll of cloth as if offering a treasure, shining in the sun.

Although the Shu brocade in Yizhou is not as famous as the brocade in Xiangyi, it has become more and more famous recently.Many people who come back from Yizhou will bring a few horses as gifts.

Yuan Shu is no stranger to this.

But at this moment, he frowned, raised his hand and slapped him hard.

"You son, you really don't change your banditry, you grab something good when you see it, and you don't look at who it is."

He dismounted, snatched the cloth from Chang Nu, and strode into the inner gate. "Why don't you get out and lead me to accompany you?"

Chang Nu didn't dare to say more, covered his face, entered the door, led Yuan Shu in, and stopped in front of a dilapidated mansion.

Hearing a voice outside the door, a middle-aged man came out, crossed his hands, stood on the steps, looked down at Yuan Shu condescendingly, and said coldly: "Your Majesty is here, I don't know what advice I can give you. If it's for Shu brocade Come here, you might as well present the rest of the Shu brocade right away, please be merciful and don't hurt anyone."

He sneered, and said again: "Fleeing for several years, Gou Quan died in troubled times. If he returns to the capital by chance, if he is hurt by the envoy's hands again, I'm afraid it will hurt the emperor's sage and the great man's revival."

Yuan Shu's face was red and his ears were red. He hurried forward and presented the Shu brocade with both hands.

"Yuan Jun was joking, how dare, how dare. Just now, the lowly slave has no eyes and no eyes, and ran into Yuan Jun. I also ask Mr. Yuan Jun to have a lot, so don't worry about it."

Yuan Yu glanced at the Shu brocade in Yuan Shu's hand, and said calmly: "Forget it, this piece of Shu brocade can be regarded as a meeting gift, and I hope that the envoy will not think it too expensive. Now that the envoy is favored by the emperor and presides over Luoyang affairs, I will wait for Dousheng Xiao The people rely on the envoy a lot, so it is appropriate to give some gifts."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the door, leaving Yuan Shu standing in front of the steps alone.

Yuan Shu's face turned red and then turned white, turned white and turned red again.

Chang Nu peeked at it, and immediately regained his spirits. "My lord, this Confucianist is so rude, wait for me to go in and steal his house..."

"Slap!" Yuan Shu raised his hand and slapped Chang Nu in a circle twice. "Are you stuffed with bird feathers in your ears? Can't you understand what I'm saying? Get out of here, and don't come to his house to find trouble and cause trouble for me."

Chang Nu received two slaps in the face one after another, depressed in his heart, followed Yuan Shu out, and asked unwillingly: "Master, what is the origin of this Yuan, why can't he be provoked?"

Yuan Shu sighed. "You don't make any progress. You don't know who Yuan Zhong really is? You don't know his friendship with the Yingyin Xun family? It's not good to provoke someone, so go and provoke him?"

"Is he still related to the Yingyin Xun family?" Chang Nu was startled, knowing that these two slaps were deserved.

Who doesn't know that the Yingyin Xun family has Xun nobles inside, and Xun Yu's father, son, uncle and nephew outside, and they will surely be a first-class family of the great Han in the future.

"How do you think Yingyin Xun's Gaoyangli came from?" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and scolded, "It was Yuan Zhongzhen who changed it, and even inscribed the title of Limen with his own hands."

"What should we do?" Chang Nu also scratched his head a little. "With such a person in Luoyang, how will he mess around in the future? Has his family been overtaken? If so..."

"Yuan Zhongzhen has been dead for 30 years, how could he exceed the limit." Yuan Shu said angrily.He walked forward with a sullen head, returned to the street, stood there for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "I want to recommend him to the emperor."

Chapter 908

Xin Pi rushed to Xing Zai and soon met Liu Xie.

After reporting on the situation of land saving in Hejian Kingdom, Xin Pi sat quietly, looking at Liu Xie who was sitting on the chair.

The Son of Heaven is young and a little tired, but his eyes are bright, and his speech and demeanor are full of unparalleled confidence, which makes people feel at ease.

It's no wonder that Xun You admired the emperor so much that he didn't have the slightest disobedience.Seeing the firm will of the emperor Du Tian, ​​he immediately gave up the idea of ​​bargaining and insisted on promoting Du Tian in Hejian without leaving any room.

"I heard that you are called together with Chen Qun, Zhao Yan, and Du Xi?" Liu Xie raised his head and looked at Xin Pi with a smile.

Simpi bowed his body and cupped his hands. "I don't dare to take it. It's just the reputation in the village. I don't want it to spread to His Majesty's ears and make His Majesty laugh."

"I also think it's inappropriate." Liu Xie said.

"..." Simpi was speechless.

He was just being polite, but the emperor was not at all polite.

"Others, I don't know. As far as Chen Qun's words and deeds are concerned, it is not a pleasant thing to be as famous as him." Liu Xie took a sip of water and said unhurriedly: "From Judging from his performance in Xuzhou, it is difficult to live up to his reputation. The vices of party figures and celebrities are not lacking in any of them."

Simpi pondered for a moment, then bowed his hands and saluted. "What Your Majesty said, I do not agree with you."

"Yeah." Liu Xie looked indifferent. "tell me the story."

"Although Chen Qun has some party habits and celebrity demeanor, he is not a bad habit. Inheriting the name of his father and ancestor, his reputation is indeed higher than that of his peers, but that is not his fault. Your Majesty does not need to criticize the sage."

Liu Xie looked at Simpi and smiled silently. "Although I don't agree with your opinion, I admire your courage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie put down the paperwork in his hand and thought about it. "Did you arrest Zhang He's family members in the hope that Zhang He would exert influence on the judge so that he would not kill your family members in Yecheng?"

"Yes."

"I don't understand something, and I hope you can tell me bluntly."

"Please advise, Your Majesty."

"Yuan Xi also has thousands of troops and has the name of the lord, so he can't keep your family?"

Simpi sighed. "Although Yuan Xi is the son of Yuan Shao, he is mediocre. He is not as stable as his elder brother Yuan Tan, nor as intelligent as his younger brother Yuan Shang. The reason why he became the lord is that Yuan Shao is jealous of me from Ruying, and Yuan Shang is too young to take on important responsibilities. Yuan Xi was reluctant and won the support of Jizhou people. In fact, his virtue and talent are not enough to compete with Shenpei and Tian Feng, but he is just a puppet of Jizhou people."

"Jianpi, Tian Feng dare to kill the master?"

"Then...not really."

"Since this is the case, why did Yuan Xi sit back and watch your family members be interrogated and imprisoned, without saying a word?"

"This..." Simpi was at a loss for words, and he was also deeply disappointed in Yuan Xi.

It stands to reason that even if Yuan Xi's strength is not as good as Shenpei and Tian Feng's, it is always okay to stand up and say a few words.In the face of Shen Pei and Tian Feng's crimes of imprisoning Ruying people, he didn't say a word, which was too weak.

"Is it because no one is offering advice?" Liu Xie smiled.

Simpi's heart tightened, feeling very uneasy. "Your Majesty means..."

"I'm thinking, if you go to the city to plan for Yuan Xi and compete with Shen Pei and Tian Feng face to face, it may be better than sitting here and discussing the truth. Even if Yuan Xi's strength is not enough to defeat Shen Pei and save your family's life, it is always better There is a chance."

Simpi lowered his eyelids, thought for a moment, and bowed his hands.

"What Your Majesty said is true, I am willing to go."

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. Prepare yourself and see if there is anything else that needs my cooperation. You don't have to rush into the city. The autumn harvest is approaching, and the army is about to besiege the city. If you go in then, you will have more confidence. After all, not everyone I want to live and die with Yecheng, especially those soldiers who serve Yuan Xi as their leader..."

Looking at the eloquent emperor, Simpi didn't know what to say.

It is indeed a very tempting way to go to the city to assist Yuan Xi, mobilize Yuan Xi's strength to confront the trial, and protect his family.It's just that for him, the risk of this method is too great, it is tantamount to throwing himself into the tiger's mouth.

If the emperor borrowed a knife to kill someone, he would believe it.

However, the Son of Heaven behaved very calmly, not at all ashamed to kill with a knife, always thinking of him, analyzing the problems that might be encountered after entering the city, and the difficulties that needed to be solved.

If this person is not brave, he is a hypocrite.

While the two were talking, a minister came in and handed over a document.

Liu Xie took it and looked at it again, his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes became playful.He was silent for a moment, and gently put the document aside.

"Do you know Yuan Kang?"

Xin Pi hurriedly said: "Of course I know. Senior celebrities, well-known capable ministers, mighty administrators, and noble morals, are named Baji."

"What's his relationship with Liu Biao?"

"Liu Biao is also one of the eighths."

"Really?" Liu Xie was slightly taken aback. "Isn't Liu Biao Bajun? How did he become Baji again?"

Simpi couldn't help laughing. "Liu Biao came from a noble family, and he studied under a famous family. His knowledge and morals are impressive, and he is praised by others. Not only is he Ba Jun, Ba Ji, he is also one of Ba Gu and Ba You, and he has made friends all over the world."

Liu Xie also laughed.

It turned out that Liu Biao was so famous that everyone wanted to be friends with him.

"Aside from being a famous scholar and capable minister, what else does this Yuan Kang excel at?"

"He is a party member, and a party member on par with Li Yuanli and Fan Mengbo."

"He has Ruying as the county magistrate, and he also wrote the name of Xun's hometown?"

Simpi immediately became alert. "Yes, but that was 40 years ago."

Liu Xie became interested. "tell me the story."

"Wei." Simpi organized his language, and said slowly: "Xun's residence was originally named Xihao. When Yuan Zhongzhen was Ru Yingling, he saw that the eight sons of Xun's family had moral knowledge, just like the eight sons of Gaoyang's family, so we changed it. Its name is Xihao, so I personally wrote the inscription."

"Any more?"

Simpi pondered for a moment. "Brothers Xun Yu, Xun Boxiu, Xun Tan and Xun Yuanzhi had close contacts with Yuan Zhongzhen. Xun Boxiu died in party affairs together with Li Yuanli and Fan Mengbo. Xun Yuanzhi, like Yuan Zhongzhen, was imprisoned for life."

Liu Xie nodded.

He understood why Yuan Shu wrote to recommend Yuan Gui.

Yuan Gui is the son of Yuan Kang. He is an old friend of Liu Biao and his son, and also has such a great friendship with the Xun family of Yingchuan. Yuan Shu can't afford to offend him.If Yuan Gui is not driven out of Luoyang, he will inevitably be timid in doing things in the future.Recommending Yuan Gui to become an official is not only a show of favor, but also a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

As expected, this fierce ghost can't do a good job, so it's best to be a thug.He looks rough and fierce, but in fact he is as fine as a ghost.Those who can be provoked can be bullied, and those who cannot be provoked can be sent to me.

That being the case, I called Yuan Gui over to have a look.

"Yuan Kang's son Yuan Yu returned to Luoyang from Yizhou, and Yuan Shu recommended him to be an official." Liu Xie glanced at Simpi and took the initiative to reveal the answer. "Are you familiar with this man?"

Simpi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I have little knowledge, rarely go to Luoyang, and have never met Yuan Gui."

Liu Xie didn't care. "It's okay, when he comes, I will introduce you to meet each other."

Chapter 909

Simpi got out of the tent and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor didn't say a single serious word from the beginning to the end, he didn't dare to be careless from the beginning to the end.
