Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Even though it was agreed last night that there would be morning morning, who would have thought that it was Ling Hao who hadn't woken up when the time came the next day.Lu Buying half closed his eyes, hugged the person in his arms tightly, and rested his chin on the top of Ling Hao's head, "Zixuan, it will be too late if you don't wake up." His deep voice was more like raving.Ling Hao frowned, Lu Bu rubbed Ling Hao's hair, and then continued: "If you don't get up again, it will be too late." Even so, there is no sense of urgency in such a tone.

Ling Hao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were hazy for a while before they became clear. "Are you awake?" A slightly lazy voice came from the top of the head, the other's arm was still firmly around the waist, and the man's bare chest was behind him.Ling Hao took Lu Bu's hand, his voice still sounded sleepy, "What time is it?", "It's almost time." "Mao time...Mao time!", Ling Hao's drowsiness disappeared instantly, wouldn't it be the time to go to court soon!Thinking of this, Ling Hao hurriedly sat up. What he is most unaccustomed to since he entered the imperial court is this set of time system of the court. Early morning and early court, he has to get up at five o'clock in the morning. It is simply unbearable for a modern person. The emperor really doesn't love the bed... Touching the chin that was hit by Ling Hao, Lu Bu watched the man quickly put on his inner coat and was about to take his outer coat. He stretched out his long arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and moved into his arms again. "Don't worry, it won't take long to go to the palace in a carriage."

"You said you want me to take your carriage from your house to the palace?" Ling Hao repeated himself, "No, I have to go back. If Cao Pi bumps into me, it's over.".Not only did Lu Bu not let go, but he buried his head in his neck, "So what if he is seen, he doesn't like men, how could he think of our relationship.".Another itchy feeling came from the neck, Ling Hao was helpless, he had always been unable to resist such a sticky Lu Bu.As a last resort, I dawdled for a while and finally finished washing. I didn't eat much last night, and I didn't have much appetite in the morning. I calculated that it was almost time before I left the house.

After all, Lu Bu is Lu Bu, with a high status and strong background. If he is an ordinary official, if he wants to go to court, he may have to wait in line outside the palace an hour in advance. Even if Ling Hao returns home at this time, it may be too late, so it can be said that After being honored by Marquis Wen, when the carriage entered the palace, Ma Chao's carriage had already arrived, and Cao Cao and others must have entered the palace as well.Ling Hao almost didn't think of this at all. When he and Lu Bu entered the palace at the same time, he suddenly saw Sun Ce standing in front, and his expression froze.Yesterday Sun Ce just finished his confrontation with Lu Bu, and today he came here with Lu Bu... As expected, Sun Ce's handsome face was already as dark as a cloudy sky. On the contrary, Lu Bu walked to his place and sneered in front of Sun Ce, "I don't know Did Marquis Wu sleep well last night?" After finishing a sentence, he successfully saw the chill in the other party's eyes. "In the current state of these two people, are you still sure to persuade Sun Ce to return to Han?" Ma Chao glanced at the two men beside him, and then said to Ling Hao, Ling Hao shook his head, "I can only pray that they can stay safe until On the day Liu Bei entered the court, I really can't bear any troubles at this time."

The movement on Ling Hao's side was noticed by Cao Cao. Ling Hao and Lu Bu should belong to the same faction as Ma Chao. As for Sun Ce, what he still hasn't figured out is the relationship between Jiangdong and Ling Hao, so Sun Ce's side For the time being, it is better not to act rashly, and find a time to test it out. If Jiang Dong wants to defect, then his own forces will have no chance of winning...

After waiting in the hall for a while, the emperor appeared in a royal robe, with today's important matters placed on the table in front of the dragon chair. "Everyone knows that I sent Ling Yushi to see the emperor's uncle this time to persuade him to return to the Han Dynasty. The reply from the palace yesterday was that the emperor's uncle is willing to enter the court. Mortgage, I wonder what you think?" As soon as these words came out, His Highness exploded like a pot in an instant, and there were endless discussions.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not feasible. The enfeoffment system has been abolished as early as the time of the first emperor. Liu Bei made this request, which shows his intentions. Moreover, the war has been raging for years, and the people are struggling to live. It is a time of national crisis. The treasury's silver is all used. How can such a huge sum be given to Liu Bei casually for the purpose of recruiting troops and buying horses and helping the common people?" Cao Cao was the first to stand up and fully oppose it.After Cao Cao finished speaking, His Highness immediately echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible, Liu Bei has already separated the regime outside, and there was news that he wanted to become king on his own a few days ago, how could he agree at this time?" Belonging to me? The minister also thinks what Prime Minister Cao said is right, we must always be vigilant when dealing with people like Liu Bei, and we must not lure wolves into the house."Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty immediately looked embarrassed, and then looked towards Ling Hao.

Although Ling Hao is the person involved in this trip, but after all, his identity is only a sixth rank, and some words are better passed through Ma Chao or Lu Bu. "The prime minister is right. Of course, Master Chen's words are also reasonable. But everyone must know the situation in my Han Dynasty. Years of wars and separatist regimes are all because of the internal instability of the court. Now natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people are in dire straits, naturally There is no way to collect taxes. If this continues, sooner or later, the land of the Han Dynasty will be completely divided. Now the problem cannot be solved with violence. , so that it can be done once and for all.” Ma Chao made a statement.Cao Cao just frowned, "General Ma, I'm afraid this is wrong. After all, you are not Liu Bei, so how do you know what he is planning? Moreover, Liu Bei has many advisers and generals. If he starts to rebel from the inside, it is not the same as asking for trouble." What's the difference? In my opinion, the best way is to send troops to wipe out Liu Bei."

"According to what the prime minister said, attacking Liu Bei is the best way?" Lu Bu suddenly laughed, "But as far as I know, from the Baimenlou incident, you and Liu Bei parted ways soon and became enemies with each other. It stands to reason that Liu Bei should have been defeated a long time ago, so why is he getting stronger and stronger now, and even Prime Minister Cao, you have lost a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands?", in one sentence Yes, Cao Cao's complexion was very bad, and he couldn't find any words to refute for a while.

"So I think Ma Chao and Ling Yushi's words are right. After all, Liu Bei is a member of the royal family. Now that he is willing to belong to it, it means that his power is included in the imperial court. It can not only strengthen our Han Dynasty soldiers, but also serve for other people outside. Set an example." After Lu Bu said this, he glanced at Sun Ce, and as expected, he saw the other party's face stern.The emperor is not a fool. He chose to call Sun Ce at this time. Naturally, he had his own ideas. Once Liu Bei became the power of the imperial court, Jiangdong was the only power left outside. Unification can be said to be the general trend. Therefore, Liu Bei's return to Han is very important. The important thing is that as long as Liu Bei enters the court, he must follow Sun Ce's intelligence and would not choose to fight to the death, and at that time, he would not have to worry about the threat of Cao Cao.Letting Sun Ce come today is just to let him think about it first, so as not to really have to fight against each other when the time comes.

"I also think I can give it a try. The current situation is turbulent. If you don't take a risk, it will be difficult to change the status quo.", "Please think twice, your majesty, this is not a child's play, it is related to the country's society! Let alone the treasury's silver is allocated well Yes, just say that the title of king is a matter of violating the will of the late emperor." Cao Cao's face darkened, and his tone became serious on the spot.Seeing that even the former emperor had moved out, the emperor naturally couldn't say that Cao Cao was the real threat to the court, but the emperor's inability didn't mean that others couldn't.

"The country's system changes with the current situation. At the beginning, the first emperor abolished this system because of the separatism of the king. Now our Han family is in crisis. Now the restoration of the enfeoffment system is to consolidate the rule, and it is also for the good of the Han family. How can you talk about rebellion? Furthermore, the real problem of the court is that the emperor, I, and even all the officials in the court are probably clear about it. Prime Minister Cao has repeatedly prevented the emperor from consolidating his rule. What is the purpose of asking the prime minister? What?" It can be said that it is not concealed, as long as anyone who knows about Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor to make the princes can hear that Ma Chao's words are satirizing Cao Cao. "I think back then, when I was in Xiliang, I had a separatist regime, and now I also serve the imperial court. How could the prime minister completely deny the separatist forces outside."

Seeing that the effect was almost achieved, Ling Hao came out and leaned over, "Returning to the emperor, regarding the treasury silver, it is not to hand over this part of the silver to Liu Bei, it is just a mortgage. As long as the emperor can give Liu Bei the first request as promised. For one thing, Liu Bei will return all the silver. The officials thought, since both parties are interested, why not trust each other? Moreover, if Liu Bei wants to rebel, the imperial court has the prime minister and Marquis Wen's troops, plus Ma Chao The combined strength of the general is several times that of Liu Bei, so why worry?".In the previous battle of Chibi, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all soldiers of the court. Even if Liu Bei wanted to rebel, he would not dare to rebel in the court. Therefore, since he agreed to join the court, he would definitely not rebel.

"Then what other opinions do you have?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked very satisfied.Sun Ce didn't say a word the whole time. As long as Liu Bei's entry into the court is settled, it means that the only major force outside is himself.At that time, the imperial court will stage a power struggle between the two parties. If he does not return to Han, he will be a traitor. Whether it is Cao Cao's side, Lu Bu's side, or the emperor, then only one sentence will be needed to make him Jiangdong rebellious. Sin... Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, this calculation is well done.

"Since there is nothing to add, I think this matter is settled. Ling Yushi, you can reply to Liu Bei as soon as possible. I welcome him back to the court." Ling Hao immediately responded, "If there is nothing else Let's go, Wu Hou and Ling Yushi stay here for now."Ling Hao paused, wondering why he and Sun Ce were asked to stay, looked up at Ma Chao, only to see the other party shaking his head. "Hmph!" Cao Cao glanced at the people again, and then walked away.
