Three Kingdoms: I Have Unlimited Gifts

Zhang Lu said perfunctorily: "My brother-in-law does have some background, but now, the matter is urgent, let's not talk about this."

"That's right." Yan Yan said: "Zhang Taishou said in the letter that there is something important to discuss with the old man, what exactly is it?39

"Uh……

Zhang Lu looked around and said, "It's all my own people here, so I have something to say. General Yan, what do you think of the present day?

"To be a son of today... It's really a rare wise man!" Yan Yan said: "The potato seeds and penicillin that Your Majesty allocated to us in Yizhou, there are countless living people. There is no tax on salt, and it is the greatest moral policy since Hanwu. Over the years, His Majesty has recuperated and recuperated, abolished all exorbitant taxes and taxes, conducted imperial examinations, and recruited talents... I am a great man to have such a wise man, it is really a blessing for the country, the society, and the people of the country!""

"General Yan really thinks so? 99

"That's natural." Yan Yan said: "There is no one else here. Am I just flattering the emperor and expecting you to help me spread it to the emperor's ears?"

"Of course not. But..." Zhang Lu tentatively probed and said: "But, Governor Liu... seems to be with the Son of Heaven...

Yan Yan let out a long sigh and said, "Oh, that's true. My lord, he... ah, he is confused! When the eighteen princes rebelled against Dong, I always persuaded the lord to raise troops. However, the lord did not listen. Son of Heaven In your heart, can you have no opinion on him?"

Liu Zhao interjected in a deep voice: "If it's just a matter of the eighteen princes opposing the director, that's fine. Today's son is lenient, he may not be able to forgive him. However, recently, Qianwei, Yuesi, and Erjun have been blackmailed by barbarians. The matter, it is said, is related to Liu Shishi. General Yan, do you know about this? I hope General Yan will tell the truth~". 35

"Who the hell are you? Are you really Zhang Taishou's sister-in-law?

Yan Yan stood up, put her hand on the handle of the knife, looked at Liu Zhao alertly, and said solemnly: "Liu Long, but your real name? I heard that there are two secret espionage systems today, one is Jin Yiwei, one is from Dongchang. You shouldn't be... from Jinyiwei or Dongchang, right?"

"What if, I am?" Liu Zhao said indifferently.

"If you were..."

Yan Yan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he carefully said every word: "I can only say that I don't know about this matter. The lord knows my temperament well, even if he did this kind of thing, he would neither inform me in advance, nor would he I won't let me know after the fact."

"If Liu Yanzhen did this, where would you go?"

Yan Yan's eyes dodged a little, and said: "I...I am the lord's private minister. If the lord really does this, what can I...I can do? I can only die with the lord."

"So..." Liu Zhao pressed step by step and said, "If the emperor's army arrives in Yizhou, will you follow Liu Yan and fight against the imperial army?"

Yan Yan lowered her head in pain and said: "I...I...I know everything. It is disloyalty to fight against the court, and it is injustice to fight against the lord, and it is difficult to have both loyalty and righteousness..."

"No! You must know." Zhang Lu said sternly: "I can tell General Yan that Inspector Liu is indeed related to the rebellion of the barbarians, and he also privately inspected the sugar cane workshops set up by His Majesty in these two states. Today, the imperial court has Angry! 35

"So..." Now, Yan Yan has already understood the truth of the matter, and said: "You betrayed the lord?

"Yes, I, Zhang Lu, chose to be loyal to the emperor, how about you?"

"I" Yan Yan pondered for a long time, and said: "If the imperial army comes, I... I... loyalty and righteousness are difficult to balance, only the two do not want to help, just hang the crown and leave. If the emperor is still unwilling to forgive me, I will If you are willing to slaughter your neck! I don’t know if Zhang Taishou is satisfied with this answer.”

Liu Zhao said: ~What if the court is willing to recruit General Yan?"

Yan Yan shook her head slightly and said: "If I return to the imperial court, I am afraid that the world will think that I betrayed the lord and caused the lord to die. Forget it, I would rather die than return to the imperial court.

"That's not necessarily true. Liu Zhao smiled slightly and said, "If the emperor himself recruited, would there still be people in the world who would say that you are a seller for glory?"

The court solicitation, and the emperor himself soliciting, are two different things.

The emperor personally recruited, which means that the matter has reached the sky, and Liu Yan will surely die. At this time, Yan Yan was recruited again, and there was no more suspicion of being a seller seeking glory.

Moreover, if the emperor himself recruits, you still refuse to obey. Most people in the world (money Zhao) will probably scold them as "stupid" and "unknown to praise".

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Zhao chose to lead the expedition in person. When he came forward, he could play a role that no minister could play.

Yan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "If the Son of Heaven personally recruits me, of course I will only obey my order. But, the Son of Heaven is far away in Luoyang... Besides, what kind of person am I, Yan Yan, who deserves to be recruited by the Son of Heaven personally?

"That's not necessarily true." Liu Zhao smiled slightly and said: "Get to know me again, I am indeed Zhang Lu's sister-in-law, but not Liu Long, but... Liu Zhao.

"What? Liu Zhao?"

Before Yan Yan could speak, Gan Ning had already exclaimed, "Are you a big man?"
