Although He Jin is a man with a soft ear, he still knows a little about etiquette and demeanor when dealing with famous scholars.

After reporting the official business, He Jinliu and the others spent a supper together before letting them go home.

Li Su has been avoiding Cai Yong in public for a while, so as not to let people see the behind-the-scenes transaction between them. But since they left He Jin's mansion at the same time today, there is nothing to hide from, otherwise it will lead to doubt.

Li Su was young and was a general of the Central Army. He came on a horse, while Cai Yong took a car. On the way back, Cai Yong invited him to take a car with him, and Li Su happily obeyed.

After getting on the bus, there was no one around and he happened to say some secret words.

"A good strategy! On the grounds that Dong Fu was rude to speak out of prophecies and divination, the position of Shizhong was unknown for a while, he voluntarily requested to leave Zhenba County, but in fact he also compiled the national history. In this way, he could borrow a lot of ancient books from Dongguan and Lantai.

The son-in-law must do his best to help me copy and engrave the seal. Zhongshan Zhen is the first man who has been working with me for many years. I have taken time to find them in the past few days. I also stayed in the capital for a few more days and did not rush to return to Yizhou to report immediately."

When Cai Yong heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and a trace of uneasy suspicion flashed through his eyes: "When the son-in-law advised me to release the prefect, he should not forget to practice the history of the country and take on the position of correcting the classics of the Imperial Academy. Although I don't care, I have found a way to do it now.

But you are the general of the imperial court, and you have other responsibilities. How can you stay in the capital on the grounds of helping me copy and borrowing Dongguan and Lantai collection of books? And you also brought Zhao Yun's five hundred cavalry outside Yique Pass. I heard that there were two or three thousand Youzhou cavalry in Luyang. It is a taboo for those who brought foreign soldiers to stay in the capital. You made me pretend to be a public heart for so long, and now you have to change your mind?"

Li Su was shocked and realized that he had neglected.

It’s also a big blame for his performance for too long these days and his nerves are tense. He is inevitably a little relaxed in front of his accomplice Cai Yong.

But relaxation is relaxation, and the reason why "Li Su himself wants to stay in the capital for a longer time" is absolutely something that cannot be told to Cai Yong!

A time traveler can't say to the native accomplice, "I stayed because I know He Jin has not lived for a long time, and I want to survive until he dies."

This is the cheat content that only the time traveler himself will always hide in his heart!

Li Su quickly turned his mind and explained: "I was so proud that I was so proud that I saw that Taishan used Dong Fu to retreat as a step forward and took away so many ancient books from the capital.

I just wanted to learn from it and see if I could use Wu Kuang to prove his innocence and bring some martial arts to Shu. So I wanted to drag Liu Biao to finish everything before leaving, and I had no other intention. If I could take advantage of it, it would be fine."

After a few words, I finally explained the motivation just now, saying it was "I don't force it if I have dates or not."

Cai Yong nodded, didn't think much about it, and accepted this explanation. After all, he would not think deeply about whether the prospective son-in-law deliberately lied to him.

However, after saying goodbye to Cai Yong, Li Su became more scrupulous: He knew that if he wanted to help Cai Yong more and gain more benefits, he had to find another excuse to stay in Beijing.

In other words, you actually stayed in Beijing to help Cai Yong, but you can't be in name.

Even if you pretend to be sick or have excuses for other matters, you may ask He Jin for leave, in short, you need another reason.

In short, there are so many twists and turns to do things based on the logic of the officialdom in the court, and there is no way to do it.

Li Su couldn't imagine it for a moment and comforted himself: "Forget it, I don't think so much. Anyway, the day after tomorrow is the grand ceremony on the sixth day of the August 2018, and the rewards for Liu Bei and me will be officially announced. After the appointment comes, let's act according to the opportunity and make excuses."

...

After returning from He's mansion, Li Su rested for a day. He didn't go out of the gate and took a bath at home. He found someone from his personal soldiers who had been proficient in recent times to help him press it a few times to relieve his fatigue. He led his troops out of the house, so he couldn't force it. Without a maid, he had to let his personal soldiers press it.

On the early morning of the sixth day of the eighth month, Li Su got up early and responded to the imperial edict to enter the palace to wait for the visit.

The court meeting started at the third hour of Mao, Li Su was a foreign minister, and was summoned at the beginning of Chen, and then followed the process to report on some Yizhou affairs and answered two questions added by Empress Dowager He personally.

Then, it was finally time for the imperial court to promulgate the imperial edicts and rewards.

"General Liu Bei, the general of Zhenxi, was in charge of the country, and was struggling and forgot his body. He led the thunder and tiger steps to the Western Xia, and the heavenly soldiers were everywhere. Zhang Lu was given the head. If the flames were raised to burn the flying huts, and the sea was covered with fertile charcoal... I was the general of the Western Expedition, and the governor of Yizhou, the Marquis of Nanzheng, with a fief of three thousand households, and the axe was used."

"I sent Li Su, the general of the Central Army, to know the destiny of heaven, to surrender the enemy, to spread the power of heaven, to inherit the virtue of Han. The mi thieves and ignorant people, to return to the cliff; Banyan barbarians, to transform into the king's way; the Xiongnu were fishy, ​​to abandon their armor and turn against them... and to be the prefect of Shu County, the Marquis of Piting, to have 500 households in the fief."

There are a few people behind, so there are not so many fancy descriptions of their achievements.

It was probably the original Hanzhong Commander Guan Yu, who was appointed as a general, the prefect of Hanzhong, the marquis of Yizhou, and the marquis of Jiamengting, and the fief of 400 households.

Zhang Fei was a general, the prefect of Wudu, the captain of the Qiang Guarding School, and the Marquis of Duting.

Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai and others were promoted to the commander of the commander, among which Zhao Yun was the Marquis of Guannei. Dian Wei and Xu Huang were no longer qualified to appear in the edict.

After returning, Liu Bei made his own decision to take the lead from the Sima Shengya Gate Supervisor of another department. Or if the court is gone in the future, it is also possible to be promoted to the Yamen General who did not exist and is not a regular one.

Anyway, after Dong Zhuo's injustice in the future, his official position will be worthless.

In terms of civil servants, Lu Su became the chief minister of Shu County, and other civil servants under Liu Bei were not qualified to submit the imperial edict. Liu Bei would adjust himself by then.

Li Su followed the procedures and expressed his gratitude to other civil and military officials who entered Shu.

Finally, the decision to deal with Liu Yan was read out.

The edict did not dare to force Liu Yan directly, but asked Li Su to hold the edict to recruit Liu Yan back to Beijing as the young tutor, and Li Su took the edict with mercy.

In addition, there is another detail, that is, the new Ba County prefect Cai Yong can give Li Su a verbal evidence - the court obviously had already thought about whether this imperial edict would be slandered as a life-threatening person after it arrived at the local level and questioned the position of the imperial edict.

However, if one more Cai Yong is a witness to prove that this imperial edict is the true expression of the emperor's intention, and the process of issuing the edict is completely legal and without any coercion and inducement, then it will obviously be of great benefit to persuading surrender and winning the hearts of the people in Shu, and it will be more conducive to peaceful transfer.

When Li Su heard this, he was also glad that he kept his relationship with Cai Yong secretly and was so wise! This did not bring another additional benefit.

After returning from the palace, Li Su also sighed in her heart: It is better to have military power at hand, and the court dared not force it directly. Thinking about it, Dong Fu's crime was even less than Liu Yan, but the three tribes who stayed in the capital disappeared secretly. The main culprit Liu Yan had to speak kindly and pay attention to strategies and asked him to come back.

Of course, there were actually not many tribes in Dong Fu's capital. He only had one son to stay by his side, and the other few sons and most of his grandsons and great-grandsons were all in his hometown in Chengdu. If the court really wanted to completely ban Dong Fu's tribes, it would have to wait until Li Su took over Shu County temporarily.

Finally, Li Su also hinted from some informal calibers: the imperial court appointed him as the prefect of Shu County for a while, for his own good, so that he could accumulate the qualifications of becoming a county magistrate in the local area, and to become an official in the future. At his age, it would be a dream to climb to the Nine Ministers before the age of thirty.

Faced with this hint, Li Su was of course just right to show joy: Thank you Jiyan! I have been waiting to return to Beijing to continue serving the court! I am afraid that I am really not used to living in Taire Shu County in the south for a long time. I took a bath and drank cold sweet wine every day to cool off the heat! Otherwise, I have not changed the bathing habit that I have developed in the south these days after returning to Luoyang.

In Luoyang, Li Suke has been in a luxurious and lewd social engagement process and invited other friends from the court to enjoy the ice wine, food and massage during bathing. In just a few days, he imitated the shower fountain made by the late emperor Bi Lan (a eunuch and one of the ten eunuchs) and built a warm shower and a warm water jacuzzi. Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and others had enjoyed it, so they spent millions of money on Li Su.

Look, I have bought a luxury house in Luoyang and spent so much money on luxury items! As long as Zhao'an Liu Yan goes well, I will definitely hope to recall me immediately after the matter is completed!

Of course, Li Su's actions of buying luxury houses and building copper hot springs in Luoyang have long been seen in the eyes of relevant personnel officials and generals, otherwise, he would not be relieved to temporarily serve as the prefect of Shu County.

The reason why Li Su's acting skills are so realistic is because he is knowledgeable. When he was studying and teaching in later generations, he was often brainwashed by the courses of "how to use big data to identify outlaws", so he knew how to counter-reconnaissance.

That was around 2010, and many outlaws were caught by the newly born big data technology, and an important reason for those people to be targeted is "not buying social security for themselves" - because a person who knows that he is going to perform a deadly task will not buy more pension insurance.

Li Su teaches negotiation experts at the Public Security University and has seen a lot about these, so he acts by himself, so of course he has to act in the whole set.

Even the portrait of behavior patterns two thousand years later, he can counter-reconnaissance, not to mention the speculation of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and He Jin.

You are playing with me, so that's wherever you go.

...

However, with the end of the court meeting, a new mission was pressed on his shoulders, and Li Su also faced a new problem.

That is, if nothing unexpected happens, he will only have a few short days to prepare. If he has no special reason to ask for leave before the next dynasty meeting five days later, he should set off to Yizhou and lobby Liu Yan to return to Beijing.

But taking advantage of the two days of intelligence investigation, Li Su also became more and more clear about the progress of He Jin summoning foreign troops to Beijing to kill eunuchs. Yesterday, he heard that there was a quick horse return. Dong Zhuo had already arrived in Hongnong, and another 300 miles away from Handao. After passing Shanxian and Mianchi, he could leave Hangu Pass and enter Henan Yin.

The mountain road of Wuhandao is difficult to walk, and Dong Zhuo has infantry, not all cavalry. The infantry will only travel fifty miles a day to march in the plains, and the mountainous areas will be slower. Then it will only be on August 12th, and it will only be after August 15th, and it will only be in the western suburbs of Luoyang.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo didn't just go to Luoyang near, and he wouldn't go directly to Beijing. He would have to wait for a while to find an excuse before entering.

In addition, Dong Zhuo's memorial "I'm asking me to ring the bell and drums into Luoyang" has not been delivered yet. It is estimated that it will be delivered quickly within two or three days.

"We must find a way to delay the time. Forget it, let's help Mr. Cai contact the bookseller and enough sculptors and copywriters first." Li Su thought about it in her heart and decided to take time to find Zhang Liang, the chief manager of the Zhen family business in Luoyang.

Of course, Li Su is now of a valuable status. He just needs to summon the other party to pay a visit when he sees a businessman.

On the day the court meeting ended, Li Su did not waste time and directly asked someone to call Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang almost arrived as soon as he shouted, and when he came, he also brought Li Su several exquisite bronze water methods as gifts. It seems that Li Su's reputation for being addicted to copper fountains and copper showers has spread among the rich people in Luoyang.

For this matter, the famous scholars who were content with poverty and were happy to talk about it a lot: that was a luxury that the late emperor Ling Emperor liked, that was... a foolish lord, you, a famous scholar who knew the destiny, actually liked this luxury of the slutty, just to take a bath, alas...

After seeing it, Li Su accepted the gift with great satisfaction, and did not be polite to Zhang Liang. He directly ordered: "This time I called you to come, I asked you to borrow some people. Although the printing business of your Zhen family business is not a monopoly now, it is still the largest in the world.

My mentor, Mr. Cai, wanted to be the prefect of Ba County, but during his tenure, he was in charge of writing and editing the classics and history of Dongguan. He needed to borrow and copy a lot of classics from Dongguan and Lantai, stop your business for half a month, and summon all the scribes and carving workers, and I will give it to you at the price."

Zhang Liang bowed to Li Su deeply and said humbly: "How dare you talk to Li Zhonglang about money? The Zhen family's printing business started with Li Zhonglang. He did not forget to dig wells when drinking water. What is the point of recruiting people to temporarily? It is worthy of being filial.

In addition, since Li Zhonglang entered Beijing at the end of last month, the villain has received news that Pegasus contacted Zhongshan’s family and had something to do. I originally wanted to discuss with Zhonglang after the young master of the family came."

Li Su couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Zhang Liang was a little embarrassed, but although the young master had not arrived, the reply from the horse had arrived. He was going to see Li Su in the past two days to drag Li Su down. So he followed the flow and said:

"That's right. Although our master's status is far from the same as that of the General of the Western Expedition, it is also a famous family that has passed by two thousand stones in his ancestors. And to be honest, he is a friend of poverty and humbleness with the General of the Western Expedition... Li Zhonglang should not be misunderstood. We dare not urge us to be kind, but we just think about it and make it better.

In the past two years, everyone worked sincerely and benefited each other at all times. However, because the three-year mourning period of the Lord was not over, some words were unfilial, so it was delayed until this year. In fact, from March this year, the young master and the young lady had expired for the former master for twenty-seven months, and they could also talk about weddings and funerals.

I heard that the General of the Conquest West has not been married yet. The young master wanted to ask Li Zhonglang to convey his goodwill on his behalf. Even if the mountains and rivers are far away, he would choose one or two of them from my ladies, and he would be the General of the Conquest West. He would also be able to be the General of the Conquest West. The General's concubine..."

When Li Su heard this, he thoughtfully calculated that Zhen Yi, the former leader of the Zhen family, died in the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Zhongping, so the system was over in March of the sixth year of Zhongping (this year). No wonder the two older daughters of the Zhen family were finally able to get married after two or three years.

The eldest daughter Zhen Jiang is already fifteen years old, and now it is August. This era is not too early to get married, it is completely delayed by her father. The second daughter Zhen Tuo is also one year old, for several months.

The Zhen family now has no major officials, and they only have two filial and honest people. If they marry the General of the Western Expedition, of course they have to lower their figure.

After holding it in for so long, I was waiting here to plan to pick peaches.

Li Su directly gave the other party a vaccination: "Of course I will convey your good intentions, but I still have a first statement. The general of the Western Expedition entered Shu, and a local prominent family in Hanzhong begged to marry him. The general of the Western Expedition was stable, and these marriages were inevitable. What your Zhen family can provide is nothing more than money and food. The general of the Western Expedition had been grateful for a long time and would definitely repay him ten times in the future, but the position of his wife... I have been away from Hanzhong for three months, so I really dare not say it.

As for the general, that is, Guanfu Jun, as far as I know, he chose his wife and did not resist poverty and humbleness, but wanted to be happy with each other. When I left Sichuan, he had already chosen someone he liked. He was a person who valued righteousness and was afraid that he would not want to go against the rules and come first and then come.

Only General Zhang Fujun, but he really has no wife. If your Zhen family doesn’t think that the third lady is young, you can make a decision first and get married in two years. With me, Li Boya, you will always ask the young lady of your Zhen family to have a proper wife."

Zhen Dao, the third lady of the Zhen family, is now twelve years old. Of course, he cannot marry Zhang Fei now, but Shu Road is almost thirteen years old. He can get married after being settled in Yizhou.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard this, but he was just a servant and was not easy to express his opinion on behalf of the young master. He could only find good things first: "By the way, Zhonglang is not yet married yet. Moreover, Zhonglang has just won the championship this year, and his future prospects are limitless. If Zhonglang is interested, I think my lady must have been high-level..."

"Uh..." Li Su thought that his secret relationship with the Cai family was now at a critical juncture, so even if he humiliated the Zhen family as a concubine, it would be difficult to explain.

To outsiders, Li Su is the diamond five and the golden bachelor!

The imperial court's secret decree also hoped that Cai Yong would help Li Su prove that summoning Liu Yan to the capital was not a mess. So no matter what it was for, Li Su and Cai Yong would never have any extra friendship before.
To be continued...
