Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

Early the next morning, Ling Hao took Han Ling to look for Guan Yu together, because he had greeted Guan Yu before leaving, and Han Ling's bold personality won Guan Yu's favor, so the marriage hit it off.But during this period, Ling Hao still has Zhuge Liang's matter to consider, and Liu Bei will return to Hanzhong immediately after the matter is over, so the date is temporarily set for the next spring, in fact, there are not a few months left, after all, now It's already early autumn.

Put Han Ling in Guan Yu's mansion, Ling Hao went out of Guan Yu's place and went to the palace again. The rare treasures he brought back from Nanman, including Chixiang pills, have not yet been unified in quantity, and he will be determined by himself. It is not too late to submit the figures to the emperor. In addition, apart from Zhuge Liang, the matter of Zhao Yun must also be mentioned.But Zhuge Liang didn't go back last night, and stayed in the palace all night because of the emperor's persuasion. After calculating the two things to do today, coupled with his eagerness to know how Emperor Xian of the Han would push Zhuge Liang to the throne, Ling Hao had just been announced to enter the imperial palace. I saw several people had already arrived one step ahead of him.

"I pay homage to the emperor." He performed the emperor's salute to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, "Excuse me, sit down first, there are many things to do today, so it's easy to talk with all of you in my palace." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Ling Hao a seat , and then continued: "Conquering the south is a great achievement. Now that Meng Huo has surrendered to our Han Dynasty, it means that the last piece of territory of the Han Dynasty is also complete. Naturally, there is no need to worry about the land, but for future development, only Relying on the current structure is still a little bit reluctant, and the discussion on changing phases was almost done yesterday, but I haven't figured out how to implement it in a way that can balance the upper and lower levels... ", that is to say, I haven't thought about it after talking with Zhuge Liang all night Can you come up with a practical way that neither side will offend?Regarding the matter of being a minister, even though he is the emperor, he can't interfere completely. There are many interests involved. No matter which side he favors, it is not a good sign.

"Now that the remaining party forces have almost been wiped out, there is no harm to us if the neutral faction still maintains their departure. It is natural to find someone to replace Cao Cao's position. In addition, this time to conquer the Southern Man, the emperor will continue with an imperial decree. Presumably they won't say much." In Sun Ce's eyes, the remaining people in the court can basically be ignored, one: few of them can really pose a threat to the royal family; two: even if they represent different positions, just With the name of Zhuge Liang, supplemented by the reason for rectifying and revitalizing the royal family, how many people dare to stand up and resist? "That is to say, the Royal Forest Army and the military field in the palace, as well as Jiangdong and Hanzhong all agree with this proposal. You indeed represent the most powerful forces in the imperial court. However, the canonization of the Han Dynasty is after all a matter of great concern to the country. Why? You have to go through it with other people."

"In this case, it is better to delegate the right to vote directly to individuals. This way, it will not appear that you, the emperor, are deliberately arbitrary, and it will also reflect the fairness of the current royal system." Ling Hao's sudden interjection made Emperor Han Xian pause, "What does it mean to delegate to an individual?", "It is to hand over the power to the people of the imperial city and the imperial army and horses, and let them decide by voting. I think, compared with Cao Cao, the master can win the hearts of the people.", This It should be the fairest way, right?The minority obeys the majority, and as long as the votes are more than half, those in the imperial court must have nothing to say.

"This...there are millions of soldiers and horses alone, and many soldiers have never dealt with Kong Ming. I am afraid that they may suffer losses." Han Xiandi frowned, as if he did not agree very much. "We rely on the aspirations of the people. Liu Bei has always been known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness before. Many of the previous battles were fought by Zhuge's army division. Needless to say, his reputation is natural. Besides, this time he attacked the Nanman, seven captures and seven attacks have spread. With the support of 50 troops already, I think the emperor should not worry about that." Ma Chao said, regarding the candidate for the prime minister, in his opinion, there is really no one more suitable than Zhuge Liang.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty seemed to be still hesitating. It was the first time he had heard of such a bold approach. This was the first time that the appointment of officials within the royal family had to be downgraded to the common people.Seeing Emperor Xian of Han's hesitation, Lu Bu didn't feel troublesome. Such a simple matter was so troublesome for this man to think about. There are hundreds of thousands of troops on the field and 50 guards in the palace. Jiangdong and Hanzhong don't need it. He said, plus the [-] soldiers and horses who followed them back from Nanman, the remaining [-] or so troops don’t need to worry about anything at all. The soldiers and horses of the entire Han Dynasty are within the scope of their rights, and decentralization will only benefit them more That's all.

"I agree with Zixuan's proposal. This is for the benefit of the Han Dynasty and the common people. I think the common people and the soldiers should have more rights to choose the candidate for this aspect." Zhuge Liang's expression was light, as if several people including the emperor were discussing Such an important matter like this one doesn't usually touch me.Seeing several people, even Zhuge Liang himself felt that he could be transferred, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't find any better way for a while, "Okay, let's do this, I believe in your strength, I will give orders on this matter today, Statistics will start in the whole city from tomorrow. At that time, Zixuan, you will take Yulin out to ensure that there will be no troubles, and you will return as soon as it is over." "Yes, I obey the order." Ling Hao got up and bowed his head.

Finally, the matter was settled. As soon as he left the imperial palace, Ling Hao was going to ask Zhuge Liang if he wanted to go back to Liu Bei's place now, but Sun Ce grabbed him right away. Fortunately, it was just the two brothers who hugged him like that.Ling Hao was helpless, "I still have to rush to the lord, will you go with me?", "I have nothing to do with Liu Bei.", Sun Ce shook his head, "What I want to ask is whether you will come back tonight. ".Seeing that the other people were about to come out of the palace, Ling Hao could easily hear the implication behind Sun Ce's words. Looking at the hand on his shoulder, he said, "Come back, come back." He stuttered a bit when he spoke. .Seeing Ling Hao's embarrassed look, Sun Ce immediately knew that the other party must have understood what he meant. Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth raised a curve, "Don't stay too late with Liu Bei, go home early at night." After saying this Only then did he let go of Ling Hao's shoulders, it's better to restrain himself properly in front of people, lest this person will be uncomfortable for a long time. "What's the matter?" Seeing Ling Hao startled, Sun Ce asked.Going home... For some reason, when I heard these two words, I felt very at ease, Ling Hao paused, and then said after a long while: "It's nothing, this is the first time someone said to me to go home... just inexplicably feeling a little bit emotional. ".

Sun Ce's brows and eyes softened a lot. If he was not still in the palace, he really wanted to hug this person in front of him. "By the way..." Ling Hao suddenly thought of something, and looked at Sun Ce with some hesitation. "We're already like this... You can't exaggerate that Qiao is alone in Jiangdong, right?" Sun Ce was originally in a good mood, but when Ling Hao mentioned this, his brows frowned instantly. "I took his husband, and I feel sorry for her... Bo Fu, if possible, I hope you can take care of this matter." Sun Ce did not make a statement, seeing the guilt in Ling Hao's eyes, Then he said: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly. As for Da Qiao... Before she married me, she was always thinking about another man." The matter between Sun Ce and Da Qiao, through Zhou Yu, Ling Hao still knows more or less. Apart from the marriage, some things that are too private are not easy to ask. However, it would be good if Da Qiao can find a place that really belongs to him earlier. Half my life alone in an empty room...

Saying goodbye to Sun Ce for the time being, what Ling Hao has to do is to accompany Zhuge Liang back to meet Pang Tong, Xu Shu and the others.Today's Zhuge Liang, the appointment of the new prime minister can be said to be a certainty, and his worth in Liu Bei's side is naturally different. It was originally a small banquet between Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who are usually on good terms. Who would have heard of Zhuge Liang? After returning to Liu Bei's side from the palace, a group of people surrounded him with a whimper, and finally Pang Tong finally pushed them back one by one. After working for a long time, finally only Ling Hao and the others were left.

"Tsk tsk, look, I'm about to enter the palace, when will you tell the emperor, it's a good idea to give me a deputy?" Pang Tong poured wine for several people, looked up, but found that Zhuge Liang was still in the same suit. It looks neither hot nor cold on weekdays. "If you think about it, it's good to let the prime minister go to you, why bother to ask the deputy prime minister." Xu Shu laughed when he heard this, "Do you think Shi Yuan really wants to take on this drudgery? He is so Personality, how can I ask for trouble.”, Pang Tong was noncommittal, “Let me choose, I would rather choose the current situation, you see that the court is so stable now, the position of prime minister is mostly trivial matters, there is no excitement during war .”Dare Pang Tong still miss the time of Zhan Luan... Ling Hao was speechless.

"Hey? I said, Zixuan, why are you so silent? Come and tell us, has Kong Ming bullied you recently?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't pay much attention to him, Pang Tong turned his eyes and saw that Ling Hao hadn't said much, so he turned away immediately topic.Ling Hao, who was still complaining about Pang Tong just now, almost choked on the wine he just drank when he heard this. "If Kong Ming bullies you, tell me, and I will vent your anger on you." Pang Tong raised his glass to Ling Hao, and Ling Hao shook his head hurriedly, "Master... how can master be so boring...".Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Tong, and finally said: "He is my man, I really want to know how you want to vent your anger.".Well, the topic can be dragged away as soon as it is brought up. Isn't their original topic the prime minister of the Han Dynasty?Why did it shift to the matter between him and Zhuge Liang in a blink of an eye... Obviously, Pang Tong became very fond of teasing him when encountering this kind of thing, but Xu Shu also stared at them intently... It must be because of being caught. Pang Tong is bad!Thinking about how serious Xu Shu was before, now that he and Pang Tong are together all day, Ling Hao is almost depressed, but fortunately there are only the three of them this time, so it’s okay to talk about this kind of thing in private, as long as it doesn’t spread. .

"Yo, your man? This is what you said—Zixuan, it seems that your master has taken advantage of you a lot.", "Cough, cough—" This time, Ling Hao choked on his hands. shake.Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong and frowned, then reached out and patted Ling Hao's back, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak." Once or twice is not enough." Xu Shu listened to the cloud, he only knew that Ling Hao and Zhuge Liang made a pair, but what Pang Tong said seemed to have something to say, seeing Ling Hao's expression on his face Embarrassed, look at Zhuge Liang's expression, what does Pang Tong mean...Xu Shu's guess is almost the same, this blatant teasing is not afraid of Zhuge Liang's anger..."This... I think we should talk about tomorrow's election.", Really Unable to bear Pang Tong's verbal offensive, Ling Hao decisively brought out the business.

"What's the point of talking about this? Haven't you all made sure about it? Kong Ming and Cao Cao will choose the former before anyone." Pang Tong is not very interested in this matter, or it can be said that he has no interest at all.In comparison, Xu Shu was also more interested in the matter of Zhuge Liang and Ling Hao. After all, he and Zhuge Liang had known each other for so long, and he had been urging him to think about his own affairs before. Who would have thought that Zhuge Liang would choose Ling Hao.The first time I heard it was quite scary, but it is actually not so difficult to accept now. Who made Zhuge Liang's vision too high, and there are not many people who can match it. "That Zixuan won't go back tonight, right? By the way, why didn't you see Zilong? He kept talking about you before." It stands to reason that they invited Zhuge Liang and Ling Hao to come, and Zhao Yun had no reason not to come.Ling Hao shook his head: "Zilong still has something to do, I plan to recommend Zilong to the emperor after the master's affairs are settled, so now he has a lot of things to do, and he can't get away from it.".

After finally chatting with a few people, Ling Hao really couldn't stay longer because he had to rush back to the house, but fortunately Zhuge Liang didn't say much about it, he just told him to go back and have a good rest.Due to the presence of Pang Tong and Xu Shu, Ling Hao was too embarrassed to say goodbye to Zhuge Liang alone, so he said a few words with a few people and then returned along the original road.Without guards, attendants back and forth, or even a carriage, Ling Hao was just submerged in the crowd. Who would have imagined that a person like him is a celebrity in front of the emperor's eyes?After all these years - I have come all the way after all. At the beginning, I was still worried about whether I would be able to survive. In a blink of an eye, I have become an extremely powerful minister, and a mighty history book has been rewritten because of the little effort of one person... Ling Hao sighed , it is also time for me to let go of those modern memories, after all, from now on, this road cannot be recorded in history books.

"Zixuan..." Ling Mansion was in front of him, and Ling Hao was about to go up the steps when a very familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.Turning his head in response to the sound, and following the sound, Ling Hao only felt his heartbeat stop when he touched the thin figure under the shadow of the lamp——

"Bo... Ren?".

The lights were dim, and the night became colder and colder, just like Ling Hao's state of mind now, he just stood like this, staring at Xia Houshang motionlessly.Xia Houshang lost a lot of weight. Standing alone beside the stone lion, his figure looked a little lonely, with an indescribable bitterness in his eyes.Ling Hao just stood there, didn't step forward and didn't speak, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare. Ma Chao solved Cao Cao's forces, which was equivalent to cutting off the Xiahou family's retreat with his own hands.Since Cao Cao's accident, for so long, I have no news of Xia Houshang. After that, because of Zhengnan, I still worry about Xia Houshang in my heart, but I have been procrastinating to find the trace. I will hate myself for the rest of my life, who would have expected that Xia Houshang would appear here today...

"Boren...you, why are you here?" Looking at Xia Houshang at this time, Ling Hao had mixed feelings in his heart. "Can I go in and talk about it?" Xia Houshang's brows and eyes were full of tiredness, and he bent his mouth at Ling Hao, although in Ling Hao's view, it was more like a wry smile.

Ling Hao didn't even expect Xia Houshang's arrival, let alone Sun Ce who was in Ling Hao's mansion at this time. Han Ling was not familiar with Xia Houshang. Before Ling Hao came back, Han Ling kept throwing questions at Sun Ce. . "So, the King of Wu and my second brother knew each other earlier than Marquis Wen and Master Zhuge?", I have been pestered all afternoon, and others should have been impatient, but surprisingly, Sun Ce not only didn't A trace of impatience, but there are still questions to answer. "That's natural. At the beginning, your second brother was the first one who agreed to me. It's a pity that the two of us get together less often, and we can only see each other for ten and a half months. If Zixuan is a general under my command, how can I let him go?" Can other men take advantage of it?" Han Ling was taken aback when he heard this, he only knew about the relationship between Ling Hao and a few people, but he had never heard these people talk about the past, so he thought Zhao Yun was already considered It was very near the front. I didn't expect that Sun Ce was the first to be accepted by my second brother.With a lover with such great power at that time, what kind of conditions would Ling Hao start to hesitate? "Actually, you can call me like Shang Xiang from now on. 'Wu Wang' is too natural." Sun Ce's phoenix eyes brought a smile, "Brother Ce...?" Han Ling hesitated, Sun Ce heard the words Nodded, sure enough, this situation is much better, Ling Hao's own sister keeps calling herself "Wu Wang", but it can't justify it.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, Han Ling's chatterbox can't be stopped once it is opened.In fact, Sun Ce is not difficult to get along with. Apart from being frightened by this person's anger when we met for the first time, he was still thinking that he had so many powerful and powerful people to be friends with for no reason. Ling Hao's voice. "If there is anything else, let's go in and sit down first." The words were vaguely heard, and the sound of footsteps approached, and then the wooden door was pushed open, and the targets were Ling Hao and a man in a dark long suit.

Seeing Sun Ce, Ling Hao was stunned for a moment, and after only a few seconds, he put away his expression, "Ling'er, it's getting late, you should go to rest early.".It seemed that there was something else to say, Han Ling curled her lips, she hadn't asked Sun Ce enough, but the business was a business, and she left obediently in the end, so in the big room, only Ling Hao, Sun Ce and Xia Houshang three people. "Who is he?" Sun Ce frowned, "My friend...you have helped me a lot before, Bo Fu, why don't you wait for me in our hospital first, and I'll go to you after I finish my work, okay?" ?”, with some embarrassment in the words, coupled with the hint of Ling Hao’s expression, Sun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, and stood up, “End early, and lead the army tomorrow. I will wait for you at the original place.”.

Seeing that Sun Ce glanced at Xia Houshang before leaving, Ling Hao was in a heavy mood. He didn't know what to say at first, and reached out to pour tea for Xia Houshang, but was stopped by the other party halfway.

"No need." Xia Houshang couldn't see the original look on his face, and Ling Hao felt more and more uneasy. "I didn't expect things to develop like this, Boren, I have always regarded you as a friend, you know, I will never—","I—I don't want to talk about this today, I just came to see you." , Xia Houshang looked at Ling Hao, his eyes seemed to have passed away, and the smile on the corner of his mouth always made Ling Hao feel extremely glaring.He is obviously the one who hates him and wants to kill him for revenge, why is he still able to smile...
