Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist
Chapter 184
When it was time for the palace examination, Yan Qing found helplessly that once he wandered around Lu Xun, Lu Xun couldn't help but get nervous.
Although it was not very obvious, how could Yan Qing not see that whenever he got closer, the fingers holding the pen turned white due to excessive force?
In order not to affect his state, Yan Qing could only make eye contact with other examiners, and did not exit the hall, but stepped behind the screen.
Because Lv Bu is mighty and fierce, and has a battle-tested murderous look, Yan Qing didn't want him to bring fearless pressure to the candidates and make them not perform well, so he specially set up this screen to block one or two.
It was also convenient for Lu Bu to desert quietly behind.
Seeing that he was staring at the memorial, Yan Qing frowned slightly, obviously lost in thought, and couldn't help feeling a little curious, and walked gently behind him, trying to play tricks on him while sneaking a few glances.
However, Lu Bu seemed to have eyes behind his back, as soon as he approached, he stretched out his arms and caught him in his arms.
Yan Qing failed, but couldn't help chuckling, while Lu Bu handed the booklet to him, and whispered into his ear, "Be honest."
Yan Qing only felt that the pinnae of his ears were itching from the hot breath, so he couldn't help but rubbed them, and complained in a voice so soft that they could only be heard by each other: "Don't keep moving your hands and feet. The screen is not transparent, right?"
Lu Bu: "Be generous, there are no shadows in broad daylight."
What's more, the candidates are all writing hard, and they have neither the leisure nor the courage to look around the hall.
Lu Bu didn't need a servant, and his personal attendants were waiting outside the screen.
It is unbelievable to say that there is only a screen and a distance of several feet, and it is like a completely different world.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qing saw that there was no one around, and her heart became much more at ease, so she stopped grabbing the big palm dishonestly poking under her clothes, and concentrated on reading the memorial.
"From ancient times to the present, among the people and ministers, there has never been one who has made great achievements like a great general. He has lasted for thousands of years, and it is more than Duke Lu Wang of Zhou... If there is no great general with the courage and loyalty in his arms, he will help the Han Dynasty and eliminate the traitors. , go down to Anli and Shu, wipe out all the evil, understand the sufferings of the people, relieve the worries of the emperor, ascend the heights and raise their arms, and the whole country shouts... How can these achievements be wiped out, so that the general and the ministers are on the same level? He should accept the position of Duke Xu, and then add Jiuxi, Fang Zhangdi's heart."
Yan Qing, who thinks he is enough to see Xi Shi in the eyes of a beholder, also got goosebumps after reading this disgusting letter that praised Lu Bu as a loyal man with a humerus, like a minister who came from heaven to assist the country.
"What's all this?"
He muttered, hurrying to see which horse wrote it.
The result surprised him a bit: it was not someone who served under Lu Bu's power, but one of the group of ministers who moved from Chang'an with the little emperor.
Except for those with high positions and weights, those who often deal with or have conflicts, Yan Qing has never deliberately memorized their names, and there are actually not many who can be worthy of asking him to take the trouble to memorize.
This person was not among them, and the reason why Yan Qing felt familiar was only the surname of the prominent family.
Lu Bu hugged Yan Qing comfortably, buried half of his face in the alluring neck, sniffed the fragrance of light wood after rain, and hummed, "It's not a joke, it's just that seeing the wind makes one's hands better." Just the rudder."
Chao Wenwu had always stood by and watched, and after two bloody cleansings, all those who spared their lives and could not be called heart-wrenching to the little emperor obediently gave in, either in a roundabout way or directly.
This letter of praise and honor for Lu Bu is just one of the manifestations of them completely abandoning their reserve and bowing their heads to the powerful.
Yan Qing smiled: "Compared to those stubborn die-hards, these people can be called amiable and lovely."
Lu Bu snorted, "Just them?"
Yan Qing said: "It is undeniable that it is far better for them to offer the title to the lord than for us to ask for it. Since he voted peaches, it doesn't matter if the lord is unwilling to repay the favor. As long as they are willing to accept this sincerity, they will accept it." That's enough."
Forgive them and dare not have too high demands.
Anyone can see that this way of standing in line is just a grass that falls with the wind, and it is impossible to please the righteous master who is clear in his heart, but it is more than enough to try to live in peace for a while.
Although the role of a "public" is limited to Lv Bu, who has been in charge of power in essence and has recently begun to act as regent. I am afraid it is just icing on the cake, but it also means that he has made great strides towards orthodoxy. took a step.
Lu Bu smiled playfully, "Why don't you show it to Your Majesty?"
"If you want to piss him off, just take it."
Yan Qing replied amusedly.
If he did that, Liu Xie would be forced to realize that the situation he thought had hit rock bottom could actually get worse.
Even if he loses his freedom, he is guarded like a prisoner, his concubines and empresses are not allowed to see him, and all the servants are replaced by the eyes and ears sent by Lu Bu... Anyway, he is still as extravagant as ever in terms of food and clothing, maintaining the dignity of being the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Honor is not offered for less than half a cent.
Therefore, Liu Xie can still write some sad poems about the spring and autumn to relieve his sorrow. Lu Bu, a national traitor who secretly intends to seek power and usurp the throne, has a heart of disobedience, scolds him, and even thinks that there may be Wang Yun and other old officials trying to save him. his expectations.
If he knew that after losing popular support, even the courtiers no longer had any hope of helping him, and chose to surrender to Lv Bu one after another, and might even make things worse for him, he would probably have to vomit blood on the spot.
Lu Bu: "Oh."
Yan Qing touched his big head soothingly, and said with a light smile, "I know you don't like him, but he can't be an eyesore anymore, so let's just bear it for now."
Wait for another year, and the Temple of Heaven will be repaired. Yan Qing will ask Liu Xie to complete the first and last sacrifice to Heaven, and after doing some operations, Lu Bu will be able to hold the supreme throne.
Lv Bu's thoughts were long gone. He seldom asked the specific reasons for Yan Qing's objection, and he just obeyed and refused to do it.
He rubbed his chin, and lazily said: "Feng Gong is not bad, but this title is too unsatisfactory."
Yan Qing was taken aback: "Then what does the lord want to be named?"
The "Xu" proposed by the person in the booklet is not official, but based on Xu County, which is the most symbolic starting point and the most powerful Xu County in the base area under Lv Bu's rule, so it can be called quite satisfactory.
Yan Qing was a little worried whether Lu Bu would be named Wei like Cao Cao in history.
It's not that Yan Qing has any prejudice against "Wei". After all, taking the name of the old country of the former dynasty can be used to show the meaning of inheriting orthodoxy, but Cao Wei's rule did not last long, so it's fine if he doesn't know, but he It happened to be very clear, and I couldn't help but feel too unlucky.
Lu Bu pondered for a long time, but cunningly avoided Yan Qing's questioning: "Well, now is not the time. Why don't you wait for Bu to go back and search for texts and ask questions before discussing with Chongguang."
After that, no matter how Yan Qing knocked from the side, he kept this secret in a rare way, he was not fooled, and he didn't reveal anything.
Yan Qing's appetite was fully whetted by him. After the palace examination, he was not too busy reading and correcting the examination papers, nor was he able to send Lu Xun back home personally, but rushed straight to Guo Jia's mansion.
Guo Jia was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Yan Qing's rough shaking, and immediately complained: "Why did Chongguang go crazy so early in the morning?"
Yan Qing said coldly: "You might as well go and look at the sun first, and then see if you are embarrassed to repeat 'early in the morning'."
These two days have been spent in rest, and without the guard of Yan Qing, who was too busy to touch the ground, he naturally went out to spend time and drink to his heart's content. At the moment, Guo Jia, who was very hangover, yawned, laughed dryly, and wisely He didn't ask whether it was closer to lunch or dinner, but he wrapped himself tightly in a thick quilt and asked, "You never come to the door for nothing, so let's go."
Yan Qing took off his outer robe and sat down by the bed, feeling that it was still a bit cold just by the brazier, so he distributed some of the quilt that Guo Jia was using, and unceremoniously put a pair of long legs that were not easy to fit. On Guo Jia's lap.
Guo Jia rolled his eyes and sighed: "It's over! This is the posture for a long talk."
"I haven't disliked your drunkenness yet, but you want to drive me away quickly!" Yan Qing snorted, "Last time, Zhong Jing said——"
Guo Jia interrupted immediately, and said with a smile, "How dare you? If Chongguang has any inquiries, Jiading will know everything and say everything."
Yan Qing: "It's nothing, I'll just ask you, do you know what title the lord wants to propose?"
Guo Jia said vigilantly: "Why don't you let the lord tell you personally, but ask me instead?"
Yan Qing smiled softly and said harmlessly: "It's because I value filial piety, talent and unparalleled wisdom that I specifically asked about it."
Guo Jia was obviously very useful, squinted his eyes and said: "That is, Jia can guess it."
Yan Qing knew him very well, so he didn't know his weakness, so he immediately threw out the bait: "I still have some wine from last time, if you are willing to tell me, I will share another jar with you."
Guo Jia reacted quickly: "How can one altar be enough? At least three altars!"
Yan Qing: "Let's go to Ertan, the word Er is very suitable for you."
Guo Jia glanced at him suspiciously, but couldn't figure out what was wrong, and said, "It's a deal."
Yan Qing urged: "Then you speak quickly."
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll tell you, before you get Youzhou, especially Liaodong County, my lord won't be willing to accept other titles."
Yan Qing was completely stunned.
Why did Lu Bu insist on assigning a title after occupying Youzhou?
After Guo Jia pointed out the key point, he was able to react immediately.
——Because what Youzhou overlaps is the position of Yan State during the Warring States Period.
The title of a courtier, without accident, will continue to be used all the way with the promotion of the official title. If you really call yourself the king and emperor, it will naturally become the title of the country.
As for Lu Bu, he had made this determination a few years ago, and of course he would not give up his first wish in order to become public in a hurry.
After he took Youzhou, he could justifiably take Yan as the title.
Although it is not the place where he made his fortune at all, and it does not fit any prophecy... But Lu Bu is now powerful, and it is also one of the states and counties he separatist, and no one dares to stop him if he wants to take it.
Guo Jia waved his hand impatiently, and wanted to chase him away: "Understood? Don't tell the lord when you know, especially Moti, I told you, bring the wine as soon as possible, so as not to take a rest. If you want to drink, you have to wait for a long time."
Yan Qing sighed for a long time, didn't get up, but calmly said: "When the imperial examination is over, let Ma Zhong do it, and when Liu Biao dies, let Zilong Wenyuan Fuyi and the others send an army of [-] to suppress Jingzhou. The new master hastened down, and then ask Mr. Liang to try to recruit Gongsun Zan according to his plan."
"Mr. Liang has not reached the crown yet, and his status is too high to travel far, so Gongjin or Zijing (Lu Su) will go on his behalf."
Guo Jia was puzzled and said, "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that it would be better to wait another year?"
"That was the day before yesterday." Yan Qing smiled slightly, and said lightly: "But I am in a very good mood and full of energy, I really don't want to wait a day longer."
Guo Jia: "..." If you are in a good mood, do you have to destroy a couple of states for fun?
Although it was not very obvious, how could Yan Qing not see that whenever he got closer, the fingers holding the pen turned white due to excessive force?
In order not to affect his state, Yan Qing could only make eye contact with other examiners, and did not exit the hall, but stepped behind the screen.
