Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 74 The Great Change Is Coming

The subordinates were very efficient in handling affairs, and Yan Qing had only corrected five official documents. Sun Jian, who was staying at home just as Xiu Mu was staying at home to dance guns with his children, was brought here.

Compared with most of his colleagues, Sun Jian not only joined late, but also took more missions to fight abroad, and was rarely summoned by Yan Qing alone.

The number of times I come to this study is even more rare, and I stay in the hall much more.

So after saluting, he stood still, not knowing what to do.

Yan Qing hastily finished the last stroke of the paper in hand, raised her head with a smile, and said warmly, "What are you doing standing? Sit down quickly."

"Thank you, my lord."

Sun Jian smiled mischievously, found a thin mat not too far away and sat down.

Yan Qing smiled, and didn't ask the reserved Sun Jian to change his seat, but stood up directly, walked to the seat opposite Sun Jian, sat down casually under the surprised gaze of the other party, and said with a smile: "I know You are busy, so let's get straight to the point. You are not called here for anything else, but because His Royal Highness intends to marry you, even though I have stopped you temporarily, I still need to ask you, what is your intention?"

Sun Jian was taken aback at first, then frowned thickly, and his focus was quite different from what Yan Qing had expected: "Excuse me for offending Jian, may I ask Your Highness, how did you know about the little girl?"

Yan Qing coughed softly: "Last night...Miss Sun appeared in the market, I'm afraid His Highness just happened to meet her."

"She is so bold!"

Sun Jian's eyes were about to shoot fire, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was shaking.

Yan Qing had no doubts, if it wasn't for the fierce-tempered Jiangdong tiger in front of him, he would have punched through the pitiful table with his fist.

However, from this attitude, it is not difficult to see that Sun Jian obviously does not think that the child prince who has a noble blood but no wealth and power is a good marriage partner.

Cursing is scolding, but this is very angry, only three points are directed at the usual mischief, no matter how disciplined he is, he doesn't look like a girl, and he is unlucky enough to offend the little prince's daughter.

The remaining seven points went to Liu Xie.

As long as it is not on the battlefield, Sun Jian, who has lost the patience to think calmly due to long-term fierce battles, has been struggling in the political situation for many years, step by step. , and by no means pedantic and foolish loyalty.

And the object of loyalty cannot be all the Liu family, but only the one that represents the regime of the Han Dynasty.

Without the greatest halo of the emperor, in Sun Jian's eyes, Liu Xie was just a playboy who relied on Yan Qing's protection to get rich and well-fed, and was not afraid of danger, wandering around all day long and neglecting his studies.

This son, who has not even grown hair, is so unscrupulous in order to tie up the lord so that he can take advantage of the situation in the future, and even misses his precious daughter who is only so young!

Not only selfish, but also smart.

If the current protagonist is as narrow-minded, suspicious and intolerant as his former immediate boss, Jingzhou Governor Wang Rui, then a crime of secret collusion will be properly settled, ruining his lucky chance to show his ambition!

Thinking of this, Sun Jian shuddered deeply.

"My lord is tired." Sun Jian took a long while before taking a deep breath, while nervously and carefully looking at the smiling Yan Qing, he said earnestly: "It's about my little girl's life, and I dare you to ask Rong Jian to come back to the house. Discuss with your family and report back.”

Sun Jian knew where his shortcomings were: he didn't study much, he did all the work in the military, and his temper was as hot as fire. This was still a marriage between his children, so he had to talk to his virtuous wife who was knowledgeable and reasonable.

"Okay." Yan Qing nodded, and gave him a reassurance with a smile: "You also remember that today's conversation was conducted in private."

If he refused to give Sun Jian a choice, he would ask questions in front of other ministers.

In this way, Sun Jian was under the pressure of offending his superiors, and he didn't consider the time to think about it, so he probably had to comply.

Sun Jian was taken aback for a moment, and realized something.

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Sun Jian went there blankly.

When he returned to the mansion with a heavy heart, the first person he looked for was Mrs. Wu.

He was also lucky, not only Madam Wu was in the small hall, except for the eldest son Ce, who had invited himself to go to the military camp for training, the four sons and one daughter were all here, enjoying the new refreshments happily.

Seeing that he was suddenly summoned by the lord and came back so quickly with such a bad expression on his face, Wu Shi couldn't help being startled.

The first thing she thought of was that her husband might have done something wrong and was reprimanded by the lord, so she was so upset.

As a result, Sun Jian opened his mouth, but before he could really say a word, he saw Sun Shangxiang, the daughter who had caused a catastrophe and was still enjoying rice cakes, and suddenly became angry, and roared: "Sun, Shang, Xiang! What did you do last night?" You left the house without permission, where did you go!"

Just as Sun Shangxiang forcibly snatched pastries from his second brother, Sun Quan, who stuttered and was the easiest to bully, and was enjoying them triumphantly, he was startled by the terrifying roar, and the pastries almost choked in his throat.

She coughed wildly, Wu Shi frowned, and while patting her back, asked: "Husband, what trouble did Xiang'er get into?"

They were already used to this precious girl's ability to cause trouble, and it might be the first time that Sun Jian was angered to this extent.

Sun Jian sat down with a grimace, and then explained the whole story clearly, and then glared angrily at Sun Shangxiang, who was blushing.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shangxiang also stared wide-eyed, put his hands on his hips, and shouted excitedly: "Nonsense! Mother can testify for me. I have been watching the maidservant playing swords in the backyard with my third and fourth brothers last night. I didn't come out." Half a step!"

It is true that she often goes out of the house to sneak out to give herself some air, but she really didn't last night!

Sun Jian didn't believe it, and said with a cold face: "According to what you think, the majestic prince wronged you? If you didn't hide your family's knowledge and went out to show your face, and happened to be seen by him, can you know your little girl's surname?"

Sun Shangxiang hated being wronged to death, and said angrily: "How do I know! I don't even know how many hairs grow on that blind boy's head! Shit! Anyway, if I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it! I haven't even been out of the house all night, which one How can a conscientious bastard still plant it on my head!"

Seeing her swearing and swearing, she was so angry that she even scolded the dirty words she learned from the market in a hurry. Even if Sun Jian didn't think Liu Xie was a golden branch, he might marry him Even telling such a cheap lie, I was still a little shaken.

Is it really a mistake?Was it Liu Xie who made a mistake?

"Young girl, what does it look like?" Wu first couldn't bear to berate Sun Shangxiang who was filled with righteous indignation, and then coughed lightly: "Although Yi'er and Kuang'er are close to her, there is a suspicion that they will hide it for her. Concubine But she can also testify. Xiang'er did not leave the mansion last night."

Sun Jian: "..."

Madam has always been reliable, and it is impossible for Sun Jian not to believe her words.

Moreover, since Madam knew how serious the matter was, she would not do such a stupid thing as blindly protecting her children and not hesitate to tell a big lie.

Sun Jian didn't understand: "What's going on?!"

The whole family immediately closed the door, retreated, and began to discuss this strange matter in a daze, and finally conspired against Liu Xie.

What no one noticed was that, from the beginning to the end, he clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head to his knees secretly, as if to cover up his angry second son Sun Quan, a few strands of guilt flashed across the bottom of his blue eyes.

——He also had no choice but to make such a bad move.

The difference between him and his younger sister is only three years, while the younger sister is lively and active, always lively and healthy, while he likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, growing up later, if it wasn't for the difference in the color of his pupils, he would not be very noticeable among his brothers on weekdays .

After all, the two are similar in stature, and because they are siblings from the same mother, they are also very similar in appearance.

And he understands his sister's words and deeds very well, so if he wants to pretend, he can pretend to be lifelike.

In order to prevent future troubles and not be encumbered by King Chen Liu who missed their home sooner or later, he had to make a dangerous move.

Half a day later, when Sun Jian tactfully refused, Yan Qing only felt that it was expected. After comforting Sun Jian, who was a little nervous, he went to Liu Xie's in person, earnestly promised to protect the other party's safety, and then The inexplicable turmoil was calmed down.

After getting Yan Qing's clear verbal promise, Liu Xie immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a drunken man who didn't want to drink, and if he achieved his goal, of course he didn't care whether he could marry that young girl of the Sun family.

He knew that if Yan Qing had malicious intentions and actually waited for an opportunity to harm him after pretending to agree, then even a hundred Sun family members would not be his solid backing.

It is better to believe calmly than to be suspicious.

Yan Qing could tell that, seeing Liu Xie like this, his mood also calmed down a lot.

It's not too crooked, so it should still be salvageable.

Even if you don't want to be an emperor anymore, but just be an idle prince, it's better to be shrewd, tactful and aware of current affairs than to be a stubborn fool.

After dealing with such trivial matters, half of spring is over in the blink of an eye.

The busy spring is gradually coming to an end, and the construction of the school dormitory is about to be completed, and it seems to be going smoothly.

But it was as if God couldn't see Yan leisurely for a while, big events came one after another.

——On March [-], the second year of Guangxi, the emperor died.

——On the same day, Empress Dowager He died.

It stands to reason that the two people with the most valuable status of the big man died on the same day, especially the death of the latter seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is full of confusion, and it will definitely cause an uproar.

Not to mention the muddle-headed and precarious people of the Li people, even the civil and military officials, except for a dozen or so veterans who were loyal to the Han Dynasty crying to death, there were not many others. , and the two superiors who were fighting fiercely with the subordinates were sad to leave.

No matter how turbulent and magnificent it is, it has nothing to do with the two dead.

And these days, the two factions of Yuan and Dong, who have been fighting so blushingly and thickly necked, that they would fight each other if they disagreed, have become more and more quarrelsome, and the struggle has completely entered a critical stage where the outcome is at stake.

For nothing else, the country cannot live without a king.The more they quarreled, the more they became concerned about who the new emperor should be.

Liu Bian had no heirs, nor did he leave a will. This was a matter of course. The little emperor had only been on the throne for half a year, but he was killed by a rebellious courtier. He was still in a coma for the last period of time.

The Empress Dowager He, who could barely claim to have the power to preside over political affairs on behalf of the emperor, was by her side with tears in her face every day. How could she be willing to write a death talisman that might threaten her and the emperor?

Although Liu Xie was the puppet candidate that both factions favored, he disappeared early. The two factions had their own ulterior motives, and they were always worried that they would fall into the hands of the other party, so they secretly guarded against them. In a situation of mutual restraint, on the contrary, they dare not look for it with great fanfare.

Under the covers, no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to find someone without even a general direction.

At this moment when there was nothing to hide, both parties suddenly realized that this person ran away by himself, not being controlled by the other party!

Since they were at a loss and couldn't come up with the most justifiable King Chen Liu, they went back to the same starting point.

Dong Zhuo was a vulgar man who drank and ate meat and led soldiers to fight. How could he endure for a long time the sour scholars in his eyes spitting and pointing fingers at him, but he still had to smile.

If it weren't for an old rival Huangfusong whom he deeply feared, who prevented him from acting rashly, he might have lost his patience long ago, and completely turned against the Yuan family who had such a little support and support.

But at this point, he was also anxious.

Everyone wants to support a royal family surnamed Liu who is willing to listen to their own words. Not only will they get the merit of being a dragon, but they will also indirectly have the capital to command the world in the future, and they are destined to benefit endlessly.

Under Yuan Shao's strong suggestion, the Yuan family chose Liu Yu, a shepherd with a good reputation in Youzhou, and at least they pretended to be impartial.

For this reason, the Yuan family had a lot of internal strife.

Yuan Shu dismissed the decision of this elder brother who was born of a lowly maidservant, was able to overtake him only because luck was passed on, but still couldn't get rid of his innate pettiness——he thought it was wrong It is not to be a courtier forever, but to have the ambition to become king.

In order to realize his lofty ambitions, Yuan Shu resolutely broke with his family, tired of the small and weak and some people, and went south from the city vigorously, going to Yangzhou to develop Xintiandi.

Yuan Shu is full of ambition at this time, unaware that he is about to break into the trap set by Yan Qingzao and Zhang Yang, just to catch him.

Dong Zhuo was not so modest and polite - if he hadn't had to do a little bit of effort, and there was Huang Fusong beside him who didn't move casually without kicking, he would have dreamed of sitting on the dragon chair directly. .

It's a pity that the timing was too immature, so Dong Zhuo had to be more tactful. After much deliberation, Dong Zhuo simply chose a child who was only two years older than Liu Xie among those royal family members who lived on meager salaries in Beijing. Be a regent with all the power.

As for the child's name, I'm afraid only his parents have heard of it.

After each urgent letter was delivered to Qiaodi in a hurry, Yan Qing read it in a hurry, and immediately became full of energy.

Rao had been prepared for a long time, so he immediately summoned his subordinates and martial arts to gather together for detailed discussions.

--The opportunity came.
