The emperor issued an edict again, even if Xun Yu was involved in all kinds of affairs, he could only go to Xuchang. As a Han minister, he had no reason to refuse and had no way to resist.

If he could not go, the lord would naturally block him for him. Although Changyi didn't have to go, it didn't mean that it would have no impact at all if he left like this.

They don't have enough manpower now, almost all of them who can be sent out have been sent out, and there are not many people who can take charge in Changyi City. If he leaves, the remaining things will make the other people anxious all day long.

Jia Xu, who originally only dealt with trivial matters, now can only be pushed to help the ducks on the shelf, otherwise he is the only one in the group drinking tea and walking all day, and when Cao Cao comes back, he will find Changyi City Jia Wen and this person are gone.

After arranging the affairs in Changyi, Xun Yu didn't stop much, and rushed to Xuchang the next day.

If he shirks at this time, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty. If he is caught by someone with a heart, it may not have a big impact on himself, but it will be a big disadvantage to Cao Cao.

They finally gained their current prestige, how could Xun Yu put Cao Cao in trouble because of himself?

What's more, going to Xuchang now is not completely useless. Compared with Changyi, Xuchang's geographical location is obviously more advantageous. Now Luoyang has been abandoned. Before they occupy the entire Central Plains, Dongdu is afraid that it will remain unowned. status.

It may be a good thing for the people in Luoyang that there is no emperor in Luoyang, at least they don't have to worry about the flames of war spreading to them.

Although Luoyang is the capital, apart from the status of the capital, there are not many things that can be regarded by outsiders.

When it was still some distance away from Xuchang City, Xun Yu saw the men and horses Cao Cao sent to support him.

Next to the simple pavilion, a few horses leisurely gnawed at the only layer of grass left on the ground, and the unremarkable carriage was also placed aside and no one was watching.

Looking at the familiar figure in the pavilion, Xun Yu unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, then got off the carriage and walked over quickly.

He didn't know who sent the news to Xu Chang in advance, but this person came in time.

"Zhicai." Looking up and down, he felt that this person was no different from when he left, so Xun Yu joked with a smile, "This place is so idle that Zhicai is not helping the lord. Time to go out?"

"Loyalty and lack of knowledge, it's not as good as Wen Ruo. I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to eat and rest." Glancing at Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai looked at the man who had lost weight obviously in just a month, and said the words Also brought some thorns.

Although the news reached my ears every few days, the words written on the bamboo slips are not intuitive to see directly.

Looking at Xun Yu coolly, Xi Zhicai was not as reserved as Xun Yu, regardless of the soldiers who followed him, he immediately hugged him in his arms, "It's really reduced a lot."

Xi Zhicai mumbled out a word, and it took him a while to put him down, he just felt that he had to talk to the maids beside this man when he went back.

Dumbfoundingly looking at the man who couldn't grasp the point, Xun Yu took a step back, and then he had the chance to speak again.

"Xu Zhicai felt wrong. Yu is doing well in Changyi. How can he get rid of it?" Facing the slightly surprised eyes of the soldiers next to him, Xun Yu calmly swept around, and then pulled Xi Zhicai up. got the carriage.

Leaving aside these messy things for now, it is true to hurry to the city.

After sighing that the relationship between the two gentlemen is so good, seeing Xun Yu consciously pulling people into another carriage, the soldier driving the carriage shrugged, but had no choice but to follow behind in the carriage without an owner.

Sure enough, after meeting Mr. Xi, his husband forgot where he came from, and Mr. Feng Xiao sincerely did not deceive me.

Of course, even though they thought about it for a while, the soldiers didn't think much about it. Mr. Xun came to Xuchang for official business, so it's normal to communicate with Mr. Xi before he enters the city.

It's better than going to the city and not knowing anything. Mr. Xi pushed so many things to go out of the city to pick up people. I'm afraid it's because of this idea.

Gentlemen are always more thoughtful than they are.

In the carriage, Xun Yu really wanted to know more about Xu Chang's situation as the soldiers outside thought, but Xi Zhicai, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, just didn't cooperate.

"Wen Ruo will know these things when he arrives in the city. You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we finally met. Do Wen Ruo only have those unimportant things in his mind?"

There is not much space in the carriage, but it is not small either. Xi Zhicai took out the dim sum in the dark box and put it in front of Xun Yu, raising his eyebrows and refusing to let go.

His Majesty insisted on seeing Wen Ruo, all he had to do was think carefully, and now there was no need to worry, as long as he kept an eye on those ministers and did not play tricks, it was enough.

With the lord around, even if they want to do something, they have to weigh whether they have the ability. After all, the lord now is not the same as the lord back then, and they don't dare to go too far if they want to rely on the lord's protection.

Big deal... At that time, he will go there with Wen Ruo.

It is rare to see Xi Zhicai like this, Xun Yu burst into laughter, Fu E didn't know what to say, but after such an interruption, the heavy feeling in his heart was completely dispelled.

If it was really something important, Zhicai would not make jokes here.

Seeing the worry in Xun Yu's heart, Xi Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, no one can stop His Majesty's sudden thoughts, just turn your mind to other things in a few days."

"It's not nervous." Slapping the hand off his body, Xun Yu frowned, and his eyes were full of smiles, "Your Majesty has already guessed what is going on, so how can you be nervous?"

So, all your so-called "pacifying" thoughts can be put away.

Touching his nose helplessly, Xi Zhi sighed, then looked at Xun Yu firmly, "I just... miss you..."

His body froze for a moment, and Xun Yu quietly blushed, "But I've only been away for more than a month, how come I'm here..."

"One day is like three autumns. You and I have been separated for a month. Hasn't it been dozens of years?" Seriously talking nonsense at the side, anyway, there are only two of them in the carriage, and there are not many drama talents. Out of scruples, he leaned over and stamped Xun Yu's forehead.

"It's been a long time since I saw Zhicai's face, I'm afraid he has returned from training."

Letting the man do whatever he wanted for a while, Xun Yu panted and pushed the man away, resisting the urge to give him a glance and said.

How did his friend who was Qingfeng Jiyue back then become such a scumbag now?

I don't know people clearly!

The people outside didn't notice the movement in the carriage, thinking that the two gentlemen were discussing some important family and state affairs inside, and they were a little cautious when they knocked on the carriage at the city gate, for fear of disturbing their thoughts.

Fortunately, he still remembered the business, Xi Zhicai stopped teasing Xun Yu, and opened the curtain to let the soldiers guarding the city know who was in the carriage before they could enter the city.

Because almost all the emperor and court ministers came to Xuchang, even the people around Cao Cao had to go through layers of checks before entering and leaving the city, for fear of getting mixed up with people with different intentions.

Frowning, he looked at the dilapidated situation around him. He was used to seeing the peaceful people in Changyi City, but it was even more difficult for Xun Yu to accept the fact that there was almost no difference between him and him after a robbery.

Such a good city, how could it be like this.

Looking back at Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu's tone was a little puzzled, "Xuchang was under the lord's rule early in the morning, even if it was not as good as Changyi, it shouldn't be much worse. How could it be like this?"

He thinks he knows the situation in every city of Yanzhou well. These days, because he is going to welcome the emperor to Xuchang, he pays more attention to this place. The news sent to Changyi shows that everything is fine. What is it like now?

Or was the previous news wrong, and someone hid Xu Chang's situation from the past?

No one is so bold as to dare to falsify the news. The news he has seen these days is only some one-sided things. It is probably because the lord did not intend to spread these things.

It can't be because of the arrival of the lord that the city looks like this.

The street looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, there were not many pedestrians, and most of them were dressed in ragged clothes and looked yellow and thin. If he didn't know that there was no disaster nearby, Xun Yu would have thought that they were victims of disasters who had been rescued into the city.

This will definitely not be what Xu Chang was like before, otherwise, no matter how urgent the situation is, the lord will not welcome His Majesty here.

He, Cao Mengde, has been operating in Yanzhou for several years, and he will not let the city under his rule become so embarrassed, let alone let the people in the court see it like this.

With some thoughts in his mind, Xun Yu pursed his lips, subconsciously turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai, "But what did His Majesty do?"

The joy in his eyes dissipated a lot, Xi Zhicai pulled the curtain on the car window tight, and then nodded.

"Wen Ruo should know why His Majesty summoned you to Xuchang so urgently." After saying something slowly, Xi Zhicai's expression gradually sank, "Moving the capital is a matter of great importance. Although it is not moving the capital now, it is not a trivial matter for Your Majesty to come to Xuchang Palace, so After His Majesty settles down, he intends to worship the heavens in Xuchang."

"Sacrificing to Heaven?"

——The bronze casters use the police to sacrifice to the sky as a way to pray for the blessings of the gods to avoid disasters, which is called offering sacrifices to the sky.

Wei Wei opened his eyes wide and looked at Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu didn't understand what the little emperor was thinking, how could he still think about offering sacrifices to the heavens when wars and wars are not incessant?

I always feel that the little emperor didn't come up with this idea himself. Xun Yu wanted to ask more questions, but Xi Zhicai stopped him, "The Lord is waiting in the mansion, and all the questions I want to ask will be answered later. Hurry up now."

It is true that there is no rush at this moment, the slower they are, the more nervous the people behind His Majesty who are behind the idea will be, what are they anxious about.

Hearing what Xi Zhi said, Xun Yu stopped asking, and just lowered his head and lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

For some things, he can roughly guess what's going on without much information.

I just don't know what their majesty is thinking in his heart, and what is the attitude of the lord now.

There is no fear in offering sacrifices to the heavens, but offering sacrifices to the heavens at an inopportune time will not bring blessings, but disasters.

Cao Cao is not a good-tempered person. If the little emperor really did something irritating, no one can say what Cao Mengde would do.

Those ministers' minds stayed in Luoyang, and Cao Cao was annoyed at this time. Can they live better?

All the way to Cao Cao's temporary residence, Xun Yu Xi Zhicai followed the servants towards the study. Both of them looked the same as usual, calm and indifferent, but familiar people could tell at a glance, Neither of these two is in a good mood now.

Even if they reunited after a long absence, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai couldn't be happy after calming down after the previous excitement and thinking about all the bad things now.

Cao Cao sat in the study with his face resting on one hand, a pile of bamboo slips in front of him was in a mess. Normally, Cao Cao would never have made the case so chaotic, but now, he has no intention of cleaning it up.

It is true that Cao Mengde respected Emperor Han, but this does not mean that he can be bullied by others.

The little emperor's request this time... is really too much!

Xun Yu Xi Zhicai entered the study after being informed, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes when he saw the pile of bamboo slips.

——The little emperor started to make trouble again.

Xun Yu didn't know what the courtiers thought, but he could be sure that Cao Cao was very angry. After all, the expression of the man in front of him could not be faked.

Before Xun Yu and Xi Zhi could say anything, Cao Cao clenched his fists and walked over, "Your Majesty listened to the slander, and wanted Wen Ruo to communicate with the heavens to prove that the Han Dynasty is stable and its descendants will last forever."

Gritting his teeth and uttering the next few words, Cao Cao didn't bother to maintain Liu Xielian's superficial respect. If it wasn't useful for the court to keep it now, he wouldn't mind driving them all to death.

???

Communicate with God?

The little emperor was scolded by his ancestors in his dream, so he came to sacrifice to heaven for comfort?

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Cao Cao's eyes, Xi Zhi, who was a little shocked at first, paused for a moment, and then asked Xun Yu, who slightly blocked Xun Yu's sight, "I didn't hear about this when Zhong left the city, why did he come back again in just half a day?" Something happened?"

half a day?

Xun Yu, who was the only one out of the three of them, didn't pay attention to Cao Cao's so-called "communication with heaven", but instead focused on the half-day out of the city that Xi Zhicai said.

This person had been waiting for him outside the city for a long time, but he didn't mention a word when they met. If he hadn't slipped his mouth now, he would have thought that this person was waiting there in advance because he had received the news.

Really silly can.

There was a warm feeling in his heart, and Xun Yu's eyes became even softer, but the two people next to him were so focused on mocking a group of idiots in the court that they didn't notice this change.

A bright yellow imperial edict was pulled out from under a pile of bamboo slips. Cao Cao snorted coldly and threw the thing over, even refusing to do superficial efforts.

"I just learned about the imperial edict that was sent just now."

Seeing the imperial edict thrown into his hands, Xi Zhicai's eyes twitched, and he finally understood why there were so many bamboo slips scattered on the table.

I'm afraid that after receiving the imperial edict, he directly dropped the official document on the case table, the lord is really very angry!

Previously, it was only said that it was necessary to sacrifice to heaven, but it did not say that Wen Ruo was required to do "communication with heaven".

Those wizards only existed hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the great man has been passed down to the present. Who has ever heard of worshiping the sky and needing wizards?

If Wen Ruo was suddenly asked to do these things, shouldn't he be named a national teacher next?

Xi Zhicai's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at Xun Yu again, there was some unknown meaning in his eyes.

If His Majesty really thought of this, Wen Ruo should or shouldn't?

Glancing at the imperial edict, ignoring Xi Zhicai's gaze, Xun Yu turned to the side and asked, "My lord, that's all your Majesty said?"

If it is just to sacrifice to the sky, the lord will not be so angry, there must be other things.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao's darkened face again, and felt that it was true.

Sure enough, their majesty had other thoughts.

From the beginning to the end, Xun Yu didn't take Liu Xie's request for him to heart, to communicate with the world?I'm sorry, but he, Xun Wenruo, is just a mere mortal, so he really doesn't have such great ability.

Flicking his sleeves, Cao □ spoke out what the person who sent the edict said with a straight face.

These courtiers really don't understand the little emperor's mind.

"Your Majesty not only wants to offer sacrifices to the heavens, but also enshrines Zen. If it wasn't too absurd and stopped by the courtiers, I'm afraid he is already on his way to Mount Tai at this moment."

"Feng Zen?!"

——Sacrificing to the sky is to order Xihe, who is as beautiful as the sky, and whose calendar is like the sun, moon and stars, and respects and bestows time on people.

Fengchan is a kind of sacrifice to the heavens, and it is usually held on Mount Tai, which is the highest among the five mountains, so the emperors all think that worshiping the heavens here can be called a real order from the heavens.

Therefore, Fengchan is also the most solemn etiquette for the emperors of all dynasties to emphasize the "divine authority of the monarch".

However, this is not the reason why Liu Xie can propose these.

Among the various ceremonies, offering sacrifices to heaven is indeed the most grand ceremony, but it is a grand ceremony held by the monarch during the Taiping period or a special year when auspiciousness appears. Generally, only monarchs who have made great political achievements are eligible to hold it.

Does Liu Xie regard himself as an emperor who can rule the country with literature and martial arts like Emperor Wu, or does he think that the auspiciousness of the peaceful and prosperous age has appeared now?

The three people present obviously had this kind of thinking, not because they wanted to be disrespectful to the emperor, but because Liu Xie's move was really wishful thinking.

Don't talk about making great political achievements, just talk about keeping the great Han country and Liu Xie still can't do it, so where does he have the confidence to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen?

If he really had the opportunity to meet his ancestors, the little emperor might be scolded by Liu's ancestors so that he couldn't hold his head up.

Such unworthy children and grandchildren, it would make them ashamed to speak out.

Unsure what to do by the little emperor's genius, Xun Yu looked at Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao who had the same expressions, pondered for a moment and then said, "The current situation in the city...is related to His Majesty?"

Since it is necessary to offer sacrifices to the sky, no matter whether it is enshrining Zen or building an altar in Xuchang, it will cost money.

Leaving other things aside, the bronze man would have cost a lot of manpower, and with the current situation of the court, Xun Yu didn't think they could afford the cost.

The lord of their family has money, but it will be used to raise soldiers, and will definitely not be used to make any nondescript sacrifices to the little emperor. Now that the war is raging, the court can't even take care of itself, and if it wants to use the money, it can only come up with its own ideas .

It costs money to raise soldiers, especially a group of powerful elite soldiers. The so-called elite soldiers are all bought with silver, no matter which dynasty it is.

Therefore, no matter what the little emperor said, Cao Cao would never use his saved family fortune to sacrifice to heaven.

"Your Majesty has a decree that if there are any bronze wares in the city, they must be handed over to the imperial court for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven." Cao Mengde curled his lips ironically, and Cao Mengde squinted his eyes. The little emperor has done more than one and a half pieces of absurd things these days , such a dead end, he stopped him, but he couldn't stop him, what else could he do?

Today's people's taxes are already heavy enough, and now the imperial court wants to plunder from them, and he will just watch what disasters will be planted in the future.

"It's ridiculous to compete with the people for money."

Sighing in a low voice, Xun Yu didn't know what to say anymore. Even if the court couldn't support it, how is it different from bandits to grab things from the people so forcefully?

It's a good thing for them that the lord didn't stop this matter.

If they want to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, they must have the support of the people. Isn't it a good thing for them to consume the prestige accumulated by the Liu family for hundreds of years like this?

Xun Yu had just arrived in Xuchang, and Cao Cao didn't want to let people stay here for too long after being exhausted by boats and cars. If there is anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow, and they are not in a hurry for a day or two.

After being angry for a while, what Cao Cao calmed down was not thinking about how many things the little emperor could do now, but how many benefits these things could bring them.

As the actual ruler of several states in the Central Plains, what he has to consider is not just the little emperor on the dragon chair who doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

Suddenly thought of something, when Xun Yu was about to leave, Xi Zhicai also bowed his hands towards him, left and right today's lord can't care about other things, he

He also took a step ahead.

Knowing that the two counselors around him had a good relationship, Cao Cao didn't say anything, waved his hands and made them leave.

It is not a day or two to prepare for offering sacrifices to heaven. Now that the emperor is in Xuchang, it is much more convenient for him to do something.

Like... how to deal a fatal blow to Yuan Shu with Sun Jian.

Yuan Gonglu was not good at being unrestrained in Huainan, and Sun Wentai hadn't started to attack aggressively. On the surface, it was just a bluff, and Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously.

After all, Sun Jian had spent a lot of time under his command, and he also knew what kind of person he was. It was just a dream to fight Shouchun with Sun Wentai's troops.

The complacent Yuan Shu forgot that he knew Sun Jian, and Sun Jian also knew him.

Today, Sun Wentai has Cao Cao to help him, and there are many capable people around him, but Yuan Gonggong is still surrounded by the same people as before, who knows himself but does not know the enemy, and the victory or defeat is uncertain.

Knowing what their lord was going to do next, Xi Zhicai just smiled, turned around and took Xun Yu to his mansion in Xuchang.

The entire imperial court has moved to Xuchang, so naturally they won't leave directly, at least not in a short time.

It stands to reason that such a large Xuchang city will not be unable to arrange a place for Xun Yu to live, but firstly, he will not stay here for too long, and secondly, Xi Zhi said something in it, and the final result is that Xun Yu is in Xuchang. Live with this person these days.

——It is not easy for Mr. to understand the common people, and he does not want to cause trouble to others. He is really a role model for me.

Um!Role model!

The role model in everyone's hearts arranged for someone to take Xun Yu to wash up, and then went back to the bedroom to bring out a piano case.

Perhaps there was a slight deviation in what was said in the previous letter, and Xi Zhicai is now in Xuchang, so Cai Yong sent someone to send the meticulously made Qin to Xuchang directly.

The exquisite workmanship of the violin case only looks valuable, but compared to the long violin placed in it, it is just dispensable. However, there is a large hole in the violin body that looks simple and noble. This made Xi Zhicai very puzzled.

Could it be that Cai Gong made a mistake when making the piano, so he made such a big hole in himself?

With Mr. Cai's craftsmanship, it shouldn't be!

After thinking for a long time, Xi Zhicai didn't come up with the slightest idea. No matter in terms of workmanship or appearance, this violin is incomparable with the violins made by Cai Yong before. the meaning of?

impossible!

With Mr. Cai's temperament, he refused directly if he didn't want to do it. How could such a tactful way be used?

Anyway, let Wen Ruo have a look, I don't know what Wen Ruo will think after seeing this weird piano.

Cai Gong who was "tactfully rejected": Wen Ruo sent such a strange drawing, and specifically emphasized that the piano should be made according to the drawing, what can he do, he can only listen.

Young people, there are so many tricks!

After washing and tidying himself up, Xun Yu came back and saw Xi Zhicai looking at the violin case with a wrinkled face. His eyes lit up and he walked over quickly, and saw the long hair inside which was a little more pleasing to the eye than he had imagined. Qin, Xun Yu could not stop the smile on his face.

"Cai Gong has a heart!"

A faint fragrance radiated from the people around him, but Xi Zhicai didn't have any distracting intentions in his heart.

Thinking that Xun Yu didn't see the big hole under the head of the qin, Xi Zhicai took out the qin with a complicated expression, "Don't rush to be happy, Wen Ruo has a look at the qin first."

Looking at the space for the sword left on the body according to his intention, Xun Yu looked at Xi Zhicai in a daze, "What's wrong?"

This is just after washing, so still confused?

It was rare to see Xun Yu like this, Xi Zhicai pulled him to his side, he couldn't control his hand and was about to stretch it towards the steamy hair, but Xun Yu who reacted immediately hit him back .

Realizing that Xi Zhicai didn't realize that there was a sword in the middle of his qin, Xun Yu held the qin in his arms, and then began to explain the difference between this qin and ordinary qin.

Looking at the large vacant piece, and thinking about the shape of the broken Liuyin, Xi Zhi suddenly realized that, as expected of Wen Ruo, even the Qin around him was so different.

However, why didn't he know that this person loved swordsmanship so much that he put a sword in the piano.

Has he ignored Wen Ruo to this extent?

Xi Zhicai fell into deep self-doubt when he looked at Xun Yu who was holding Qin and couldn't put it down.

He could tell what this man was thinking at a glance, and Xun Yu didn't bother to explain. He really didn't need the sword in the piano at ordinary times, and it was normal that Zhicai hadn't seen it.

After so many years, his swordsmanship has been ruined a lot, and it is just a habit to keep Qin in this shape. It may not be that he is the same Mo Wen who swept a den of thieves directly.

Looking Xi Zhicai up and down, Xun Yu rubbed his chin. This man's martial strength is not to mention his own, but he is probably a little weaker than ordinary people. Is he going to pick up Mo Wen?

In case the two of them go out and encounter something in the future, he can still stand up, right?

Shaken by Xun Yu's gaze, Xi Zhicai knocked on the table under his hands, and when he was about to say something, someone came outside to report.

Hearing that Xun Yu has arrived in Xuchang, His Majesty is waiting in the palace now, so Xun Yu can only pass by.

Looking at each other, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai got up together, and looked at the palace man who came to deliver the order with a half-smile, which somehow made the man even stand a little unsteadily.
