On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, Luoyang, Lu Mansion.

Li Su only handed over a famous prayer letter one night in advance and visited the door early the next morning. Of course, Dian Wei was also indispensable to letting him carry gifts as his follower - to say a little off topic, with Li Su's stability, he would certainly not take any bodyguards whenever he traveled far away. This time, no one else was free, so he only brought Dian Wei.

Even if he was walking with Zheng Tai, who was an angel, he still couldn't believe in that little security power. How much is Zheng Tai's life worth?

According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, the buffer period was still relatively hasty and rude only when notifying the visit one night. But Lu Zhi simply met him, obviously knowing Li Su's purpose, and wanted to give Liu Bei some help.

After Dian Wei handed the gift to the servants of the Lu Mansion, Li Su walked in and saluted respectfully:

"I heard for a long time that people in the country hope that Mr. Lu had come to Beijing several times and wanted to visit him. But I came and went in a hurry and had a slack meeting. Why did I regret it? I am so glad to see you today, and I am so honored."

Lu Zhi actually met Li Su several times in public, but he didn't have the opportunity to chat alone.

Lu Zhi said without any pretentiously: "Person Li is polite. When the Yuan Dynasty ceremony was held at the beginning of the year, Person Li talked about the struggles of scholars. Your Majesty personally praised him for knowing the destiny of heaven, and the younger generation was terrifying."

The two of them said politely, which was to deepen their understanding of each other's character.

After all, there are many secret words about the court. If you don’t understand the other party’s temperament, you will not dare to make a simple and profound statement.

While chatting, Lu Zhi gradually deepened his credibility with Li Su, while also observing from all aspects.

Looking at the chic folding fan in Li Su's hand and the increasingly luxurious clothing, which looked so elegant that Lu Zhi was in a trance:

Li Boya always goes to Beijing once every six months, and her image changes greatly every time, and her official title and title rise rapidly. She is the best among the rising stars in the past two years with Liu Bei.

In fact, the outfit Li Su is wearing now is not a taboo at all, but it also has many elegant details.

His folding fan surface is made of the newly optimized pure white hard Zuobo paper, which has reached the soft and hard texture of alum-painted in the Tang and Song dynasties, which is very crisp. It was also tried by the Zhen family since the birth of woodblock printing, combined with Li Su's technical direction for more than a year. They used alum to prevent seepage and hardening in the last part of papermaking.

Even paper has just been published, and of course only Li Su can be used as folding fans. What's more, the opening and closing structure of the folding fan was also invented after Li Su's description, and it would take a little time for others to imitate. The most wonderful thing is that there is also a small flower and bird painting by Cai Yan's handwriting, as well as several lines of fu written by Cai Yong on this folding fan.

In addition to the folding fan, there were two bags made of high-quality crimson Shu brocade hanging on Li Su's waist.

One is a traditional sachet, which contains lilac pills prepared by famous doctors. When attending court, it contains a fresh breath. For example, it is more elegant to contain unprocessed natural lilacs directly.

The other is a fan-shaped talisman seal bag that looks like the "gold fish bag" in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with officials hanging seals. The shape of seals of officials during the Qin and Han Dynasties had strict etiquette and legal requirements. For example, senior officials above the Nine Ministers were all "gold seals and purple ribbons", and lower "silver seals and green ribbons". However, there has not been a rule for bags containing seals and ribbons. No matter what you pack, it is not over-the-counter. This thing will not be clear until the Sui Dynasty.

Li Su was the captain of the Wuhuan camp, with two thousand stones and silver seals and green ribbons. He used a goldfish bag embroidered by Cai Yan to put silver seals, only revealing the green ribbons of the seals, and not allowing people to see the seal itself, and no one could say about him.

Lu Zhi also had a strange thought in his heart: With Li Su's outstanding talent, and His Majesty himself repeatedly praised him for "knowing the destiny", if he could have some spare time to become a Beijing official for a long time, I am afraid that there should not be too many powerful people in the court who want to recruit him as his son-in-law...

Where can I find the Wuhuan Captain, who is known as the 20-year-old in the void?

In the later years of imperial examinations, even those who were catching son-in-law under the list could not be so awesome.

But even though the conditions were so good, Li Su insisted on following Liu Bei to suppress the rebellion locally, relying on his fair share of justice, he repeatedly persuaded Hu Chief, and the heroic general surrendered to the court, without any thought of his personal wealth and wealth marriage and nepotism.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi felt a little more trust in Li Su's "loyalty and righteousness" attribute.

Such a person may be resourceful, but his loyalty to the court cannot be problematic! If he is promoted to the glory, wealth, and promotion, why should he spend so much effort? Isn’t it better to stay and be an official in the capital for two years and be a son-in-law for the third duke or general?

In this way, the two gradually became more and more chatted, and they still had the potential to be close to each other.

...

Seeing that the time of chatting and laughing was almost done, Li Su began to approach a sensitive topic: "When Shu Lu, Su and Brother Xuande were chasing Wuhuan Wusu tribe, they often felt the constraints recently. The court impeached the local governors to fight against the thief generals, and the handling was becoming more and more cautious.

After coming to Beijing, although he tried his best to resolve the misunderstandings, his Majesty and the General were convinced that Brother Xuande was devoted to serving the country. However, Su still felt that the court had a kind of worry about the generals of the border counties. No matter how good Brother Xuande performed, he was inevitably tormented by the court. He came to Beijing more and more slowly, and he couldn't find out the reason. He also asked Shangshu Lu to give a clear explanation for his teacher-student friendship with Brother Xuande!"

Speaking of this, it is also a manifestation of the increased trust between both parties.

Lu Zhi slightly adapted to this straightforward consultation, brewed his emotional words, and sighed slightly: "Xuande has achieved success now and is the highest in a certain school. Bogui's achievements are no longer as good as him. How could I not hope that Xuande can have a bright future?

This time he was suspicious of the court. At first, it was nothing more than a routine matter. The memorial of the governor Jiao of Qingzhou, the reminder of the Secretary of the Soldier of the Shaofu, and even the persuasion of some staff members around the general, all played a role. But after explaining it clearly, these three aspects were no longer hindered.

But it is not necessary to make a mistake to transfer the generals with heavy troops back to the capital. After all, this is not a punishment. It all depends on whether the court is at ease now. The source of this uneasiness is complicated."

Li Su bowed respectfully: "I have time today, so I can only ask Mr. Lu to explain in detail slowly."

Lu Zhi drank a sip of water: "The court is afraid of the internal and external causes. What is the internal cause? Even if Your Majesty is in poor health, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious. Moreover, after the construction of the Eight Centres of the West Garden has been completed, not only the general can be dispatched to the generals of the external town. Starting from the second half of this year, Jian Shuo, the military Centre, has also interfered in the military power dispatch.

Jian Shuo acted more casually than the general, and he obeyed the presumptuous likes and dislikes for the moment. Recently, there have been several troubles. Sometimes His Majesty is in a good mood and has improved, and he will give some instructions to the border army to dispatch it. Jian Shuo immediately sent an order on his behalf. For example, Brother Huangfu, who is currently fighting with Chen Cang and Han Sui, received two consecutive military orders in July and August.

The border troops fighting on the front line were unable to advance and retreat, and they were in a state of misery! Later, Brother Huangfu was also angry and chose to defend the city to death. Han Sui allowed the official army to surround Chencang City. The angels who issued the imperial edict were now pure. The angels could only point fingers at Brother Huangfu, but they could not break through the siege of the rebels, so they could not deliver the imperial orders to Brother Huangfu."

Li Su was just helpless when he heard these inside stories.

Among all the factors that were suspected by the court, the most feared thing was that Emperor Ling of Han was not good at using his blind command at the end of his life, and this move was too destructive.

Moreover, after Jian Shuo took charge of the dispatch of generals in the world, the harm was obviously greater than that of He Jin. He Jin had bureaucratic qualities at least, and knew which ones were life-threatening and would let go. When the emperor calmed down, he might change his mind.

But eunuchs do not have this kind of qualities. They are proud of "executing all the emperor's orders anytime and anywhere" and think that this is a manifestation of absolute loyalty to the emperor. Such rootless people will not leave a buffer period for their lives, and it will be rain if they listen to the wind.

No, before Emperor Ling died, he must find a way to take office outside the office! Even if Liu Bei wants to be an official in the capital, he must not be the moment of his death.

Whether it is Alzheimer's disease or being confused before dying, the more dying a person sits up, the more destructive heals, the more confused he makes his decisions.

What if Emperor Ling of Han said a few days before his death that he had a dream that he would usurp his country and kill potential threats? Of course, the farther he had to hide, the better.

For a moment, Li Su even realized the difficulties of Liu Yanfei going to be the governor of Yizhou or even Jiaozhou.

Li Su sighed dejectedly: "Oh, it's such a difficult time. Your Majesty is seriously ill and has not stopped. He actually allowed Jian Shuo to pass the general and directly mobilize the border general... Forget it, let's talk about the external causes of Your Majesty's suspicion."

Lu Zhi's lips moved, as if he was feeling a little reluctant, but finally said, "There is nothing to hide. In order to let Xuande know what to do, I will tell you all. Now there are five ways to make Your Majesty suspicious!"

"What? There are so many?" Even though Li Su was resourceful, he was still a little confused when he heard this.

It is absolutely reasonable to say that Emperor Ling of Han was worried that there were five rebels, because Gebi, Qingzhou, Baibo, Heishan, Qiang Rebellion... Just count the number of rebels and rebellion in the Han Dynasty now has more than five rebels and rebellion.

But Lu Zhi was not talking about the rebels, but the generals who suppressed the rebellion!

In this way, isn’t every rebel general who is fighting against the rebels also suspected by the emperor? This is too exaggerated!

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly: "I knew you would be surprised, I will count it to you one by one: the first suspicion is that he is stranded in Hedong and claims to help the court to calm down the newly emerging white wave thieves in the local area. His Majesty knew that the rise of the Baibo thieves in the early summer of this year was because Hedong was overwhelmed by the fact that the civil unrest was inciting civil unrest.

After the civil war, Yu Fuluo expressed his opinion. However, the court seemed to him that Yu Fuluo could not suppress the rebellion at all, or that the symptoms were not cured. The root of this rebellion was that the local area had no money to support Yu Fuluo. How could he quell it? It was just a robbery in Hedong for many years in the name of suppressing rebellion!"

The robbery of Yufuluo and the rise of Baibo's army are summarized as one sentence: the army owes wages, and the armed forces demand wages.

This matter is unsolvable. Fortunately, he is not a Han person, and his "tolerance" attack on Emperor Ling is also limited.

It is estimated that the next four will make the emperor even more sad, and Li Su predicted it in his heart.

Sure enough, after a slight pause, Lu Zhi continued to say: "Yu Fuluo is expected. Your Majesty had no higher expectations for him, so he could not be disappointed. And the slightly more serious than Yu Fuluo were Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and Xuande, the Liaodong prefect. Crossing the border to Qingzhou to chase the rest of Wuhuan's troops did make His Majesty feel a little confused at that time, but it is also solved now.

What really made Your Majesty suspicious of everyone was the last two major cases: First, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou at the end of last year, didn't know what he thought, but he had cut off the imperial envoys from entering and leaving Sichuan for several months, and the court could not find out what was happening in the place.

Another thing is that Brother Huangfu mentioned earlier was that he was not willing to let Jian Shuo's life go, so that Han Sui could not command the specific actions of Liangzhou's suppression army. As far as I can tell, I dare not guarantee what the governor of Yizhou thought, but Brother Huangfu's move was definitely not unfair to the court.

He just couldn't bear Jian Shuo's blind command and thought that "the general will not accept the orders of the outside king." Unfortunately, he happened to catch up with the time when His Majesty was most suspicious, and by chance he was also suspicious. Dong Zhuo, who was now leading troops in Chen Cang with Brother Huangfu, was trusted by Jian Shuo. Jian Shuo also gave Dong Zhuo many words to him in front of His Majesty-

Just because Dong Zhuo had a different opinion from Brother Huangfu in his specific combat command before, Dong Zhuo suggested that Chen Cang Han army take the initiative to attack and defeat Han Sui instead of defending the city. This posture by chance fell in the eyes of Your Majesty and Jian Shuo, but it was regarded as "Dong Zhuo is loyal to the court, always ensuring that the army and the court are in a smooth manner and willing to accept the detailed command of the court at all times.' It's really outrageous!"

Li Su immediately understood Lu Zhi's complaint.

To translate it in the words of later generations, Huangfu Song was in Liangzhou, and he did not have any unfair intentions. He was unwilling to be remotely fucked by the ignorant leader!

Dong Zhuo's tactics are actually worse than Huangfu Song, and their combat effectiveness is also worse, which is wrong from a military perspective.

But at this critical moment, military factors are not the most important, and the court attaches great importance to the political card.

Just like in Chang Kaishen's eyes, it doesn't matter if Chen from the Civil Engineering Department loses more battles. As long as Chen is the general who is "most willing to accept remote micro-jobs", he is a loyal and commendable good person!

The last battle that Dong Zhuo participated before Emperor Ling died was the battle of Chen Cang, who worked with Huangfu Song. Unexpectedly, it actually played such a role in screening for character design!

Li Su suddenly realized that many of the confusions he had when reading history in his previous life were also solved.

Li Su thought to himself: "I'm telling me, why did Dong Zhuo's last few battles before Emperor Ling's death clearly failed in military affairs, but the court trusted him so much and allowed him to take troops back to Hedong for temporary garrison after he had a dispute with Huangfu Song, and was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou. Before, Ding was only the governor of Bingzhou, and Dong Zhuo was appointed as the governor of the state. That was the first foreigner without Liu's surname to be appointed as the governor of the state in the late Han Dynasty!

After a long fight, it was because in the battle of Chen Cang, as long as we insisted on the attitude of "not allowing the enemy to completely siege the city and strive to make the messengers of the court able to fuck us at any time", then the loyalty and righteousness points can be filled!"

When the border generals were unwilling to be fucked by the emperor, Dong Zhuo became a positive example of taking the initiative to enjoy fucking with fucking. Even if they were defeated again and again, they should be rewarded! This will play the role of educating the generals and make everyone proud of being fucked.
Chapter completed!
