Chapter 197 Good and Bad News

I haven't been to Yangdi for a long time, but within a year, the place has returned to its former prosperity.There is an endless stream of business travelers coming and going, but most of them are Mr. Pianpian, after all, it is a cultural mecca!
The Xun Mansion is still very large, and it seems to have been renovated, but it doesn't look fancy, but it looks more simple and natural.

"Sunday, long time no see!" Xun Shuang went out to greet his son-in-law in person, accompanied by the contemporary patriarch of the Xun family, Xun Yu. If you say that Xun Shuang is Xun Cai's biological father, but in terms of love, he is not as good as Xun Yu This uncle.

"Father, uncle, my son-in-law is not able to serve you all the time, and I feel quite guilty in my heart!" Li Ming bowed to the two with a bitter face, and said some communicative words.

"Don't be polite to us, you boy! Going back to Xun Mansion is like going back to your own home! Why are you still standing there in a daze, come in!" Xun Yu personally came forward and asked Li Ming and his family to bring them in.As for the servants, they were arranged in the Xun's manor outside the city, Xu Huang and Dianjie stayed behind to guard against thieves.In addition, Fang Bo and Zhu Meng also arranged to be stationed there.

Li Ming cooks in person, while Xun Cai helps out. At first, I thought Xun Yu was just talking about having fun, but who knows that he actually prepared all the ingredients, and appointed a beggar chicken by the way, do whatever else you want!
"This is tofu? Why does it feel like it's not cooked? What's on it?!" After the dish was actually served, Xun Mi looked at the first dish and couldn't help being a little curious.

"The first dish is tofu mixed with fungus. It is mainly seasoned with chopped green onion and soy sauce. In addition, we added fungus, which we found by accident in the mountains. It can be spread by simply boiling water. This dish is refreshing and delicious. Appetizers are good!" Li Ming explained with a smile.

"I didn't expect that the tofu tasted so delicious without cooking it!" Xun Yu applauded. Li Ming didn't expect that the owner of the Xun family was also a real foodie.

"Uncle has been living in seclusion behind the scenes. Originally, Emperor Huan was almost assassinated in Yanxi seven years ago. He survived by chance. He also knew that he would not be tolerated by the court. He is already considered a semi-reclusive state. If Yuntai hadn't appeared, he might have declared his death to the outside world." Xun Xun In a low voice, he said, "Uncle has lived in seclusion for a long time, so this appetite has become the biggest hobby besides Confucian classics and legal studies!"

Li Ming doesn't know so much history. The seventh year of Yanxi Emperor Huanxi was almost 20 years ago. It would be a ghost to know that!Limited memory of the Eastern Han Dynasty, mainly I know some historical figures in the early stage, what else is the Yellow Turban Uprising, Taoyuan became righteous, the princes challenged Dong, the three heroes fought against Lu Bu, warmed the wine and killed Huaxiong, the battle of Chibi, divided the world into three parts, and the world returned to Jin What.Especially in the Battle of Chibi, the grass boat borrowed arrows and wrote them directly in the Chinese document. Do you want to be so frantic?As for the rest, who remembers so much?

Xun Mi, who is Xun Mi?He didn't even know that Xun Yu was Xun You's uncle, let alone Xun Yu's father, Xun Mi!

The meal was well-suited for the host and guest, and Xun Li and Xun Shuang praised Li Ming's improved cooking skills.The son-in-law is capable, capable of forging, metallurgy, cooking, and the key talent in martial arts is so strong, it is rare that there are many capable people in his family!

"Ri Yao, I heard from Cai'er that when you go south this time, you intend to recruit two people along the way?" After the meal, Xun Yu waved away the others, and then asked, without others, naturally no one would dare to leak the secret.

"Husband, Cai'er also heard you say their names... We have to go directly to Kuaiji, and send someone there casually, I'm afraid it's not safe..." Xun Cai looked at her teacher's face like a student who had done something wrong. expression.

"You are doing it for my own good, of course I know it!" Li Ming smiled and took her hand, and patted it gently.

Then he cupped his hands towards the two elders, and said slowly: "There are indeed two people I care more about, one of them is Nanyang Huang Zhong, whose name is Hansheng, who is about 30 or 40 years old and has amazing physical strength. He must be a fierce general! The other one is a county official in Lingling County, his name is Huang Gai, and his surname is Gongfu, he is also a rare talent for a fierce general!"

"Where did Ri Yao know about these two people?" Xun Ling nodded, but it was very strange. After all, Li Ming didn't seem to have left Luoyang, so how could he know about these two people thousands of miles away.

"The main thing is to know something from Wang Yue. During the time when he was traveling around the world, he met the two of them. Huang Gai is a man of pride, and he is a man of righteousness; not to mention Huang Zhong. If you want to talk about killing and killing, I am afraid that Wang Yue may not be able to." It's his opponent! Wang Yue is a contemporary great swordsman, since he admires him so much, then naturally he won't be so bad!
When the son-in-law goes to Kuaiji this time, he will inevitably encounter some mountains or monsters. If there are more fierce people by his side, he will feel more at ease! "Li Ming said slowly.

"This is easy! I will send people to invite people. As long as I find them, I will introduce them to them. If they are willing, I will take them to Kuaiji to see you. How about it?" Xun Li made a decision directly.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Li Ming also knew that there was no room for bargaining, even if the two were recruited by the Xun family.

"Actually, I called you here this time, and I still have two things to tell you, one is good news and the other is bad news!" Seeing that the topic had already started, Xun Yan simply went straight to the topic.

After a pause, he said slowly: "First of all, it is good news. The person who deliberately spread the news has been confirmed to be Liu Ting, to be precise, Shen Yue under his command. His Majesty was very angry and removed the two positions. Shen Yue almost He was directly beaten to death, that is, Liu Ting pleaded for mercy, and was finally forgiven.

This is not surprising, they have done too much, and it will appear that His Majesty is a bit small-minded.Who else will serve such a king in the future?Even if it is for the sake of appearance, His Majesty will naturally put on a posture. "

"This is good news!" Li Ming nodded, so that the two of them temporarily had no channel to continue targeting themselves.In ancient times, the speed of transmitting information was very slow. Without this channel, it would be difficult for them to deal with themselves.

"Bad news. Your Majesty officially recognized Liu Ting, the eldest son of the emperor, and named him King of Hanzhong. Hanzhong was changed from a county to a county, and Huangfusong was made the chancellor of Hanzhong. When you see him in the future, you may have to call him 'His Royal Highness'." Yes. Now under Liu Ting’s command, Wen has Shen Yue, Zhang Heng, Zhang Lu and Yang Song; Wu has Dian Wei and Ma Teng, so naturally he will not be a happy prince, where his orders are more useful than His Majesty’s edict.” Xun Yu reminded.

The implication is that Liu Ting already has the qualifications to take the throne, even though from the current point of view, he has almost no possibility of taking the throne.Hanzhong is actually not that far away from Luoyang, and no one knows what will happen to him.If Liu Ting ascends the throne, then Li Ming must be suppressed by him!
"It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided! And I think that even if His Majesty does not object, the officials below will not allow Liu Ting to ascend the throne! Even Liu Bian, the eldest son, is afraid of being unpopular!" Li Ming He said with great interest that Liu Bian's mother is the He family, and the He family is just a local gentry, and a nouveau riche.

Only Liu Xie was different. His mother came from a family with excellent family education.Liu Xie has been very close to the aristocratic family since he was a child, and he will inevitably rely heavily on the aristocratic family when he ascends the throne, and the aristocratic family can also gain further power because of this.

"This is not something we can talk about!" Xun Li actually knew about this situation, but this topic is a bit sensitive.

"Sunday, let's rest in the mansion for a few days, and it's not too late to leave when the news arrives!" Xun Shuang immediately suggested.

 According to the setting, Shen Yue's IQ is not low, but don't forget that on the surface it is Liu Ting, a kid in his teens, who is making suggestions outside.
