Royal road

"Sima Ying has returned to Yecheng." Sitting in the study, Liu Xuan knocked on the desk with a gloomy expression.

In the past two months, the political situation in North Korea and China has also been chaotic.First of all, Zhang Fang returned to aid Chang'an, assisted Sima Yong in defeating Liu Chen, the governor of Yongzhou, and beheaded Liu Chen in Chencang.After the rebellion in Yongzhou was put down, Sima Yong was granted the title of Shepherd of Yongzhou by Sima Yingjin.As a reward for being awarded many times, Sima Yong went to the imperial court and asked Sima Ying to be the emperor's younger brother.

It must be known that the lineage of the Son of Heaven has been cut off, the former Crown Prince was murdered by Empress Jia, one of the two grandsons was poisoned to death by Zhao Wang Sima Lun, and the other died of illness.The former prince has become Sima Qin, the son of King Kang Sima Xia.Sima Xia was also born of Emperor Wu, so this new prince is also the nephew of the emperor.According to the principle of no offspring and brother inheritance, Sima Ying, who is also the half brother of the emperor, naturally has the right to inherit the great position.

At the time of Zhengdan, he had already made sufficient preparations, but Sima Yong added fuel to the flames.How could Sima Ying be modest, immediately abolished Sima Tan, and made herself the emperor's younger brother, while retaining the position of prime minister, which can be said to be full of power in the court.After arranging the important affairs of the court, this dilapidated king's capital was naturally not in Sima Ying's eyes, so he swaggered back to Yecheng.

This is a good thing for the civil and military officials in Luoyang City, but it is very bad for Liu Xuan.After returning to Yecheng, Sima Ying's supervision of Liu Yuan will only be stricter, and it will be even more difficult to escape from Yecheng.

"Xiangguo, is there going to be another incident this summer?" asked the confidant.

After pondering for a while, Liu Xuan said: "Sima Ying has invaded Luoyang this time and seized the position of the crown prince without authorization. Wei Wu's heart is clearly revealed. I am afraid that many people in the court will be dissatisfied. Sima Yong and Sima Yue are also in power, young and energetic, Ranking among the three princes, given time, it is inevitable that disobedience will arise. There will inevitably be chaos in the court, let Yuan Hai wait for the opportunity."

As long as Luoyang or Yecheng are in chaos again, Liu Yuan can take the opportunity to return to Bingzhou and order the five departments to start an incident.Now braking with stillness is the right way.

The confidant nodded knowingly, and said again: "A few days ago, there was news that Dongying Gong enlisted Liang Feng to be a subordinate of the general's mansion. Liang Feng said that he was ill. First, Dongying sent the imperial physician to deliver medicine for treatment, and then invited him to come to the hospital. See Shangsi Festival in Jinyang. It seems that he has the idea of ​​reusing Liang Zixi."

"What?" Liu Xuan was taken aback. How could a self-willed guy like Sima Teng have a good impression of Liang Feng?Don't blame him for putting himself in Luoyang for a few months, it would be good, and he also enlisted extension doctors?It's not something Sima Teng would do at all!

"Will Liang Feng go to Jinyang?" He asked.

"It is said that they will go!" The confidant hurriedly replied, "Jinyang has already heard that Dongying is generous and generous, and Liang Zixi has high ambitions. Many nobles are looking forward to Shangsi to see the demeanor of the two."

"I'm afraid that someone among them would dissuade you." Liu Xuan said coldly, "That's fine, as long as the two of them broke up when they were in Shangsi, or someone overwhelmed Liang Feng, the conquest would become a joke. Let's get ready, when I go to Shangsi, I will also go outing and have a banquet by the Jinshui River!"

How could it be possible for Liang Xi's sons to become famous in this way?This is not a false name of a Buddha, but a real celebrity title.Coupled with the strangeness of the first battle in Gaodu and the matter of selling porcelain for leather, Liu Xuan was really worried about letting that sick man show off again.This time, we must think of a way to let him return home without a feather!

"Guizheng, is Yingzheng in a bad mood these days?" While brushing his horse, a senior came up to him and asked with his ear.

With a snort, Gulong complained angrily: "You just saw that he was in a bad mood? It was like this ten days ago. I don't know who provoked this evil star!"

There's a lot going on in the camp these days.The first thing is to choose a few smart soldiers to learn first aid from Dr. Jiang.This is a matter of life-saving. Which team doesn't want the nurses in their team to be smart and capable?Therefore, the soldiers sent were also selected from thousands of talents, and they were guaranteed to learn medical skills.

This is not counted, and then there was another selection in the battalion, and some people were selected to draw the map.This matter was handled by Yingzheng, so naturally he went to the class with those people.However, this was not enough. After listening to the class, he actually let out a word, saying that all officers above the senior level must learn to count, and if they want to be promoted in the future, they must also take this into consideration.

When I hear it, I get hairy.He hasn't learned Chinese for a long time, so where can he learn math? !However, what is called the Nine-Nine Watch has already been issued in the hands, and I will memorize it if I don't memorize it!It made him feel nauseated when he saw the paper during this time, and the wife at home also worked blindly, as if he had an extra supervisor, and he was very aggrieved.

The days are so tough, Yingzheng still keeps a straight face every day, and the training is three points strict.The time spent on the school field every day was at least an hour longer, and they were so tired that they fell asleep when they returned to the barracks.Seeing that he was about to set off for Jinyang soon, he didn't feel relieved at all, which made Gulong look forward to setting off earlier. At least the march on the road was not so painful.

I really don't know who offended this kid.Alas, these young children who have never eaten meat are difficult to deal with!Criticizing this at random in his heart, Gulong warned: "Tighten up your skin recently, don't let Yingzheng see something wrong. Let's get through these days first."

The people below are looking forward to leaving as soon as possible.However, for Yiyan, the later the day to go to Jinyang, the better.

These days, he struggled a lot in his heart.Today, Yiyan can no longer lie to himself that he has a longing for the lord.However, this uncontrollable desire also filled him with regret and self-blame.This is not normal behavior!

In the barracks, there was more than one man who married a wife.When these soldiers were free, they couldn't do without women in all likelihood. When everyone talked about this, their eyes lit up and they kept talking dirty.But he is not interested in women at all.The only one who can make him restless is the master!

But how can the lord profane!

It's like wrestling with yourself, the harder you struggle, the colder the expression on Yiyan's face becomes.I'm afraid that if I accidentally expose the hateful things in my heart.However, no matter how contradictory, he was not happy to see the lord re-enter Jinyang.As long as he leaves the Liang Mansion, the lord will change into another appearance, aloof and unapproachable.It seemed to remind him of the gap between the two.

And at this time, it was also the most difficult moment for Yiyan.

Only a few days left.Looking at the setting sun that was about to set in the west, Yi Yan did not go to the main house as usual, but turned around and walked towards the barracks.

"Father, do you have to go to Jinyang?" Liang Rong asked in a low voice.

"Why, Rong'er is reluctant to be a father?" Liang Feng laughed.

"Shangsi is very close to the Cold Food Festival. If Father goes, Rong'er will spend two festivals alone at home." Liang Rong's small face was a bit reluctant.

Similar to the Shangsi Festival, the Cold Food Festival is also an important festival in early spring. It starts from the [-]th day after the winter solstice, and eats cold food without raising fire for three consecutive days.It is said that it is a custom that arose to commemorate Jie Zitui, who lived in seclusion in the mountains and was willing to be burned to death without being rewarded by Chong Er.

Liang Feng was not very enthusiastic about this festival. It was just the beginning of spring, and the temperature had not recovered, and they were not allowed to eat hot meals for three consecutive days, which was too harsh for the elderly and children.

But at this time, it is obviously not the time to discuss the rationality of the Cold Food Festival.Liang Feng patted Liang Rong's little head: "Wang Zhongzheng is inviting me, father must go. But after returning, I can accompany Rong'er for an outing. How about flying a kite together?"

There are wooden workshops and paper workshops in the mansion, making kites is naturally easy.Liang Feng ordered someone to make it early on and gave it to Liang Rong to play with.The little guy has a good talent, and he quickly mastered the skill of flying a kite, and he has a great time every time.It's just that it's spring now, and the family is busy with affairs, so Liang Feng doesn't have much time to play with him.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Liang Rong did not show a happy expression, but instead blinked his big black eyes: "Then Father won't be working in the General's Mansion?"

Unexpectedly, the foreshadowing was buried here, Liang Feng couldn't help laughing: "Are you afraid to stay in Jinyang for your father?"

Liang Rong bit his lip: "Rong'er heard that Lord Dong Ying wants to conscript my father..."

The Liang Mansion is so big that it can't hide things at all, let alone Zhao Yu, a conscientious nurse.As long as Liang Rong wants to ask, he can quickly ask clearly.In his heart, Duke Dongying is already a great official, if he went to Jinyang this time and was left in the general's mansion, what should he do?

Unexpectedly, the little guy had a lot of thoughts, Liang Feng said with a smile: "Even the emperor can't force someone to be an official. Just like Jie Zitui, who commemorates the Cold Food Festival, isn't it that Chonger should not be recruited?"

Liang Rong nodded half-understood: "Will my father respond to the emperor's conquest in the future? Like the ancestors, go to Luoyang to be an official?"

"No." Luoyang's emperor is a puppet, in the hands of others.Going to Luoyang is more dangerous than working for Sima Teng, how could Liang Feng pass easily.

"Then father doesn't want to be an official?" Seeing Liang Feng's decisive answer, Liang Rong was a little tangled up again.After all, he is also a son of a family and knows the importance of being an official. If the Liang family keeps producing a clean official, it may not last long.

Seeing the little guy's worry, Liang Feng couldn't help but smirk: "Being an official depends on where you are and who you are subordinate to."

"Like the ancestor Yu Weiwu?" Liang Rong asked immediately without slow reaction.

"It's like the ancestors in Wei Wu." Liang Xi was also considered to be at the end of Wei, and he was on the right ship of Cao Cao.But in today's world, are there still capable people like Cao Cao?Can he, like the scholar-officials of this era, commit himself to the command of a wise lord?Trust each other wholeheartedly, assist each other?

Liang Feng didn't think he could become Liang Xi, and he was not interested in those official positions where he could not control real power.However, with the advent of troubled times, he still had to find a way to control more areas and gain strategic depth for the Liang Mansion.Sima Teng is not worth relying on, and Luoyang is not a place to be good at.How can I expand my sphere of influence?Just a high capital is obviously far from enough.

Alas, let's build a reputation step by step.These uncontrollable things can only come slowly.

After comforting the little guy and sending him away, Liang Feng said to Lvzhu, "Please go on, this time to Jinyang, take a carriage instead."

Lang Jun doesn't like ox carts, this green bamboo naturally knows, she nodded, and she asked again: "What color clothes do you want to prepare?"

Mr. Lang is used to wearing dark colors, but Shangsi is in the late spring festival, so he should wear red and green.Will it look weird with dark clothes?

Naturally, Liang Feng could also think of this, and the corners of his lips twitched: "I wore black before, but this time I'll wear white. Bring some light and elegant clothes, a toga is the best."

He wanted to see what kind of tricks the Jinshui River had come up with.
