Hold Your Hand·Xuantian Chaotic Times

On the first day of the imperial court’s major blood change, Zhao Yun was replaced by the emperor’s name from Liu Bei’s side. Because of Ling Hao’s remonstrance and the approval of Zhuge Liang and others, it happened that there were too few people like Lu Bu and Ma Chao in the imperial court. The Xie Xie laid off a lot of dispensable officials in the DPRK, and most of the people who were able to stay were those who were loyal and willing to do something. Li Anzi was one of them. level one.It can be said that it has been completely refurbished. It is the first time I came into contact with the government affairs of the court. Although I have dealt with a lot of affairs under Liu Bei before, the affairs of the court are quite different from those of Liu Bei. If Ling Hao hadn't followed Zhuge Liang Know where to start.

"I always feel that I can't help here, master, can you recommend Pang Junshi to take this position..." I don't know how many times I raised this question with Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang ignored him every time. "Do you think he is willing to be bound in this cage by himself?" Zhuge Liang's writing was flying, without raising his head, he threw out a sentence, "But the master's temperament—didn't he also agree to the emperor?", Ling Hao was puzzled.Zhuge Liang finally raised his head, retreated from the other people in the room, and then waved to Ling Hao to signal Ling Hao to go over, and Ling Hao walked closer as he said. "I'm here for you. If you weren't in the court, I wouldn't come." After speaking, he turned his eyes to the document in his hand.Ling Hao didn't know what to say immediately when he heard the words, he coughed and had to stop mentioning the matter, "Is there anything wrong with the tribute?", "No, it has been checked many times the day before, and it was transferred from the army In the house, the people sent are all reliable people. Wasn’t the emperor quite satisfied yesterday?” Looking at the thick pile of documents on the table, Zhuge Liang even took his share, it’s not that he can’t help Instead, there is nowhere to help.

Now the world is peaceful and there are no more wars and disputes, but the generals still have to train. Lu Bu has the entire military field to take care of, and Ma Chao is all about returning to the Xiliang army. As for the imperial forest and the imperial guards, they are transferred to Zhao Yun. Except for Sun Ce's relatively free time, the few of them really couldn't be free for a moment. The status of Hou Wang was really much better in combination.Of course, this is from the perspective of outsiders. If Sun Ce had to say it himself, he would rather be lowered. It is better to be in the court than in the local government. At least you can see Ling Hao every day in the palace. , I'm afraid it will take another ten and a half months to see each other.

I had dinner with Zhuge Liang at noon, and ran into Zhou Yu who hadn't seen him for a while in the afternoon. I thought Zhou Yu had returned to Jiangdong long ago, but unexpectedly, he was still in the capital. "Gongjin, why are you here?" Ling Hao was a little surprised. Zhou Yu was going to accompany Sun Ce into the palace, but Sun Ce disappeared halfway, and he didn't know his way around such a big palace. It would be nice to meet an acquaintance, and Ling Hao's sudden appearance just solved Zhou Yu's urgent need. "Accompany Bofu to the palace to do something. I went back a few days ago. I just came back from Jiangdong the day before yesterday." Zhou Yu finished talking with Ling Hao, and then looked at the man next to Ling Hao, "Military Master Zhuge——No , I should call Prime Minister Zhuge now, long time no see."Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, "I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing recently?", "What can I say, it's still the same as before." Thinking about the days when he and Zhuge Liang fought wits, Zhou Yu felt a little emotional , The world is changing so fast, the mortal enemy back then is now the prime minister with one man above one man and under ten thousand people, apart from various factors, Zhuge Liang's ingenuity and strategy, he has indeed been convinced.

"In this case, let's talk first, I have to meet the emperor. Zixuan, don't forget to go to the main hall when you come back." Zhuge Liang took the document in Ling Hao's hand, and Ling Hao responded.Seeing Zhuge Liang walking away, Zhou Yu took Ling Hao's arm and walked aside, "Zixuan, are you and Bofu okay?".Ling Hao paused when he heard the words, and then said: "Bofu and I... have reconciled a long time ago." "But didn't you say that you like other people?" Zhou Yu frowned. Could it be that what Ling Hao said before was a lie ? "This..." Ling Hao didn't know how to answer this question. Ling Hao was a little embarrassed, "This situation is very complicated, and I can't explain it for a while...".Another ambiguous answer, Zhou Yu really wanted to know who the man Ling Hao liked before was able to annoy Sun Ce for him. "Could it be Zhao Yun?", feeling a little helpless to Zhou Yu's questioning, "I said, when did you start to care about these things." Ling Hao avoided Zhou Yu's reply intentionally or unintentionally. "By the way, I still have some difficult things to deal with here. If you want to wait for Bofu, why don't you go to the front?" It was obviously a perfunctory tone, and the change of the topic was too rigid.Zhou Yu sighed, "It's true, both of you, Bo Fu didn't explain it clearly, and you won't tell me if I ask you now." Ling Hao had nothing to do with Zhou Yu, why did everyone become so gossip as soon as they knew about it...

"The matter between me and Bo Fu is not what you think. Since he didn't tell you, I don't think it's convenient for me to say more... After all, I owe him more." This sentence can only be used to explain the current situation, After all, Sun Ce is still the King of Wu, so it is better not to let the people in Jiangdong know before he is ready to let go of Jiangdong.

When asked where Sun Ce had gone, Zhou Yu only replied that he didn't know. Ling Hao and Zhou Yu walked all the way to send each other to the Yuening Palace. Generally, if Sun Ce has nothing serious, he will definitely pass this way when he comes out.After leaving with Zhou Yu temporarily, Ling Hao turned around and went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As soon as Zhuge Liang took office, the first thing to do was to improve the government, and the second thing was to clean up the accumulated unjust, false and wrong cases.

For the time being, there was no one he was familiar with in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After seeing the director of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and checking the list in his memory several times, he found out the exact name. "I don't know what the purpose of Deputy Prime Minister Ling is here today?" "Your Majesty Wan is very polite, but the master ordered me to review the books so that I can submit the accumulated cases." Ling Hao took a few glances at this man called Wan Jijie The man, who is almost middle-aged, has a thin body and looks decent, "Then please follow me, the deputy prime minister.", "Please lead the way.".Following Wan Jijie into the execution hall, I still remember the last time Cao Cao imprisoned him, he dragged him all the way, and the blood was all over the bluestone slabs, but I don’t know if this person knows that the prison is actually not airtight, so he went in I can't get out, that long secret passage, the secret passage that Lu Bu took when he rescued him is still in place and has not been discovered.

"Please." Through the narrow corridor is a dark room, it looks like no one has been here for a long time, the tables and chairs are covered with dust, and the air is full of damp musty smell. "These are all unnamed cases. Before Cao Cao was here, they were pushed into the archives. If Prime Minister Zhuge really wanted to review these cases one by one, it would not be easy." Wan Jijie pulled out a stack of dusty cases from the shelf. "Come here, clean up these things and come back so that the deputy prime minister can take them away.".I wanted to say that there is no need to be so troublesome, just dust it off, but a jailer has already entered in response. "Of course the old ones can't be inspected, so choose some recent ones—" Just as he was speaking, Ling Hao caught a glimpse of the jailer who was cleaning the scaffolding from the corner of his eye, and the second half of the sentence stopped abruptly.Wan Jijie was still wondering why Ling Hao stopped in the middle of his sentence, and the next moment he saw Ling Hao in front of him suddenly changed his face, walked to the scaffold a few steps, and grabbed the jailer's shoulder.

A face he didn't recognize at all looked at him in surprise, with a look of fear, "Deputy, deputy prime minister?" Only then did Ling Hao realize that he had lost his composure, and let go of his hand in a daze. "Vice Prime Minister Ling?" Wan Jijie called out, Ling Hao didn't answer, but just stared at the jailer in front of him carefully for a while, and then looked away when he saw the jailer's legs were weak, "It's nothing... I admitted the wrong person .”Wan Jijie didn't ask any more questions after hearing the words, and asked the jailer to go down after cleaning up, "I wonder how much Deputy Prime Minister Ling wants to take back?", "If you don't take it back, I'll just watch it here, you can go to work first." Seeing that Ling Hao was really sitting on the chair, Wan Jijie felt something was wrong, this place was dark and humid, why didn't Ling Hao get someone to carry him back to his house to have a good look at it?

Ling Hao really didn't want to stay here longer, but the jailer just now reminded him of a long-forgotten thing, and now he just wants to sit down and clear his mind.Seeing that Wan Jijie left and left alone, Ling Hao didn't look through the books on the stage, but frowned.On the eve of his blindness, when he was on the street with Sun Ce, he vaguely felt a familiar figure flash past. He thought it was his eyesight, but the first time he saw this jailer today, he immediately remembered the scene of that day. silhouette.So similar, but not the jailer of today, because I don't know this person at all, and I can be sure that the figure closely related to my blindness must be someone I know, otherwise I wouldn't be so sure at the beginning.However, who is that person? Even if he saw a similar shadow today, he still can't bring back deep memories. Also, everything about the left commander Hu Xin who was drowned with his throat cut is still a mystery. The blindness incident The man behind the scenes has not yet been found out, and why would anyone be willing to send them a secret letter from Cao Cao?Now that they have eradicated Cao Cao's forces, then—have they become the next target of this person who has been hiding behind the scenes!Ling Haosi was startled at this point, yes, he was about to forget all the previous doubts now, and there were still so many doubts, how could he be so dazzled by the current life and let his guard down?

Ling Hao's expression froze, and he immediately walked to the platform and searched for a long time before he found Hu Xin's dossier. When Hu Xin died, it happened that the people from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs first discovered it. The clues don't know either.There were not many useful things on the dossier, and most of them were information he already knew. Ling Hao turned back and found that they were all blank papers. It seemed that he couldn't find any useful information from Hu Xin's matter alone.

"Deputy Prime Minister, tea." Someone knocked on the door behind him, Ling Hao turned his head, and it was the jailer just now. "Let's put this..." Ling Hao felt uncomfortable again, "You..." The jailer bowed his head in a respectful manner that couldn't be more respectful. "Forget it, let's go down." Ling Hao shook his head and dismissed the jailer, now he didn't even care about the things Zhuge Liang entrusted to him.

He took a few books and sent them to the mansion. Ling Hao didn't want to stay any longer, so he went to the main hall after leaving the Ministry of Punishment. Sun Ce, whom he couldn't find before, was inside, and so was Zhuge Liang. "Why did it take you so long?" Liu Xie asked someone to give him a seat, "Please forgive me, your majesty, some things were delayed on the way."Zhuge Liang looked at Ling Hao, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Ling Hao at a glance. "King Wu has already read the few brochures that Kong Ming presented to me just now, so I decided to start a new round of reform from top to bottom in the next few months. I still need to thank you for this matter." , "The emperor's words are serious, and the duty of the minister lies." Zhuge Liang said politely, and his eyes moved to Ling Hao again.

"What's the matter, you look so bad?" Sun Ce was closer to Ling Hao. Seeing the emperor talking to Zhuge Liang, he couldn't help asking in a low voice. Ling Hao just indicated that nothing happened. Why did you leave Gongjin outside today?"Sun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, "I said I would come to see the emperor today, and he told you that he wanted to catch up with you." Oh, this is really... It's a private matter.

"I don't know what the king of Wu thinks, but Jiangdong should go first? Now that the emperor is not in the capital, it will take time to inform." Liu Xie looked at Sun Ce.After all that has been said, is there still room for him to refuse? "I should try my best, and let Prime Minister Zhuge draft it and let Zhong Mou implement it according to the order." Ling Hao was taken aback, listening to Sun Ce's words, is it possible that he is going back to Jiangdong?With such a big burden in his heart, Ling Hao couldn't get excited, and he basically didn't say anything after the fight. During the period, Liu Xie asked him for his opinions several times, and Zhuge Liang helped to answer them.

After listening to Liu Xie's order, Ling Hao let out a foul breath as soon as he came out of the hall. The position of prime minister has a lot of things. Basically, he has to meet with Liu Xie every day. What's more, I don't want to stay in this palace for a minute. "Bored?" Sun Ce smiled, "That's how the palace is. If you are free anytime, I'll take you to relax." "Okay, I really want to go to Jiangdong again for a boat ride. I don’t know how many girls I’m going to envy if I take You Jingjing by myself.” Ling Hao also made a joke in response to the situation.Just as Sun Ce was about to grab Ling Hao's shoulders, he saw Zhuge Liang coming out of the hall, "What's the matter?" Ling Hao was silent for a while before he said, "It's nothing. I went to the Ministry of Punishments today and saw Hu Xin's file. There are still many doubts, and the people who have contributed to the troubles along the way have not shown up so far, so I can't help but feel a little worried." It turned out that it was because of this incident... They were indeed negligent. If this loophole is not repaired, something will happen in the future. maybe. "Because Cao Cao was there before, there was still a discount for how much to check. Now that the entire court is his own, it should be easier to check now." Zhuge Liang also felt that it was necessary after hearing the words. "I will send someone down, and you don't have to bear too much burden."

"Cao Cao's people have been secretly wiped out by the Xiliang army. As for the remaining party, I think it will be dangerous to stay for a day." Upon hearing Sun Ce's words, Ling Hao immediately thought of Xia Houshang, "Xia Houyuan also They are already gone, and the mere few people really can't cause any disturbances. The matter of Boren... don't worry about it, now that Sima Yi is gone, I think it's not worth the effort to hunt down and kill these people." In the final analysis, he I still don’t want to get involved with Xiahoushang again. Since Xiahoushang came to look for him last time, there has been no news since then. I guess I’m going to break up with myself completely, whether it’s good or bad..."You are always like this , Let the enemy go easily, if you don’t wipe it out, it may become a disaster in the end.” Seeing that Ling Hao didn’t respond, Sun Ce knew that this person would not agree. "Leave this matter aside for the time being, let's start with the court first, Zixuan, when you go back, remember to copy the file of Hu Xin's case to me.", "En." Seeing Zhuge Liang leave, Sun Ce looked a little Ling Hao was inexplicably depressed, "If I hadn't known each other for so many years, I probably wouldn't believe that after seven or eight years of wars and disputes, you could still be so merciful to the enemy.".

Ling Hao shook his head, and let go of the messy thoughts in his head for the time being, "They are all human children, who wants to die in vain? In fact, no matter whether it is the royal family or the common people, the poor or the rich, everyone is equal. I was stained with blood, and in the end even hell would not allow me."Sun Ce said nothing, Ling Hao's way of thinking is different from anyone else, he just sighed why Ling Hao can still maintain his original intention after so many years of intrigue. "Or do you think I should be more ruthless?" Ling Hao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Sun Ce's eyes.

Sun Ce had no choice but to say, "That's fine, it will always be like this." Who let the original self be attracted by such Ling Hao.

It was almost evening when Ling Hao returned to his mansion from the palace. Now that Liu Bei has returned to his fiefdom, Guan Ping will naturally have to go back too. Without Guan Ping bickering, plus Ling Hao and the others stay in the palace all day long. In the big Ling Mansion, Han Ling was left alone. He wrote a letter asking Han Zimo to come and visit the city, but the other party said that he would not come here until Ji Lian gave birth safely. So, Han Ling was so bored that he could not be bored anymore. The only one, Zhao Yun, was also "requisitioned" by the emperor. The emperor really had to exhaust the second brother and the others to death one by one?

After waiting all day and finally staying up late at night, I saw Ling Hao and Zhao Yun coming back together. Just as I was about to get close to them, I found that the expressions of the two of them were abnormal. Well, there was nothing serious about it. Han Ling was disappointed. At that time, Ling Hao basically couldn't care about himself.Well, she endured it, who made herself the younger sister of the deputy prime minister of a country, so she couldn't let Ling Hao leave important matters to chat with her, right?

Ling Hao was really busy discussing today's affairs with Zhao Yun. Like Sun Ce and Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun also felt that it was necessary to check the people in the court again. It was really uncomfortable to have such a hidden danger. "The emperor just sent the reform edict to the master today. Jiangdong will go first. The next one will probably be the lord. You can talk to the lord so that you don't have time to prepare." "Yes." Zhao Yun nodded. "Tired today? The palace is so big, it took me several days to not get lost. Being an official in the court is more troublesome than staying with the lord." Ling Hao put away the file he had just copied, and then sat down beside Zhao Yun .Zhao Yun smiled, and reached out to rub Ling Hao's hair, "Being an official in the court is nothing compared to fighting hard. It's just taking over the imperial forest. Fortunately, if you are tired, we can go to sleep.".

Ling Hao paused, "Tomorrow is morning...", "Huh?" Some didn't understand why Ling Hao would say this suddenly, and Zhao Yun also paused when he undressed. "Can you...don't do it." Ling Hao coughed, then turned his gaze to the side, Zhao Yun knew what Ling Hao meant by saying this.I didn't listen to Zhao Yun's words for a long time, could it be that he was unhappy?Ling Hao looked at Zhao Yun again, only to find that the other party had some uncontrollable smiles on his face. "What do you take me for? Am I the one who only thinks about that kind of thing all day long?", Ling Hao couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he said this, as if he was the only one who thought about this kind of thing all day long.Zhao Yun hugged Ling Hao, "Today I only sleep, I don't do other things." I have to say, Zhao Yun's gentle temperament... put it outside, so many women might be jealous to death.Ling Hao took the initiative to get into Zhao Yun's arms, "Zilong, how about when we adopt a child?", "Listen to you.", "Then do you like boys or girls?", "Both." This conversation, Why does it sound more and more like when a wife asks her husband between husband and wife... The corners of Ling Hao's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly shook off this thought.

"Zixuan." Zhao Yun's voice came from the top of his head as the hands on his waist tightened. "En?", "How about marrying me?", what?Ling Hao was taken aback, and looked up to meet Zhao Yun's gentle eyes, "Why did you say this all of a sudden..." If he remembered correctly, Lu Bu also said this to him when he was in Nanman. "It's nothing, I just want to be more formal. I respect your wishes. If you think it's unnecessary, don't take it to heart." After all, they are already together now.Ling Hao paused for a while, thinking about what Lu Bu said before, could it be that the ancients valued this matter so much... "But don't you think it's strange?", "No." Ling Hao still didn't reply, Seeing this, Zhao Yun said, "It's okay, you don't want it if you don't like it.", "That's not what I meant." He was just afraid that someone would say something wrong with Zhao Yun, so he didn't care, but he didn't want others to talk about Zhao Yun.I am not an ancient person, so naturally I don’t know the lifelong events of the ancients. It is basically impossible to be able to do without guilt, so——Ling Hao quietly nestled in Zhao Yun’s arms, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, “If you like it, then good.". (Lv: =_= Why is it so easy to agree to Zhao Yun this time, but so difficult to agree to me. Mo: I can only say that everything is difficult at the beginning...you made a good start.)

Everything is silent, Ling Hao has always been a light sleeper, but when he is with a few people, unless there is a lot of movement, it is basically impossible to wake him up, but it is a pity that today the house cannot be quiet.Feeling something moving outside, Ling Hao frowned, opened his eyes, and saw that the candle was half-burned, it was already midnight. "What's the matter?", Zhao Yun woke up early, "I don't know, you stay here, I'll go out and have a look." Zhao Yun withdrew his hand from under Ling Hao's head, took the coat aside, put it on, and got out of bed.His own courtyard did not allow outsiders to enter, so this is the quietest place all the time. This is the first time Ling Hao heard noisy voices in his own courtyard.Seeing Zhao Yun went out, Ling Hao also put on his coat, and just as he walked to the door and wanted to open it, he heard a burst of footsteps, Zhao Yun's voice was just outside the door, and it sounded a bit displeased, "What are you? How dare you trespass into the prime minister's mansion.", "I have seen General Zhao, I don't know how much General Zhao has offended here! Today I was ordered to arrest the traitor.".

Rebel?Ling Hao pushed open the door, "Nonsense, how can there be rebels in my house.".The courtyard was brightly lit, and the people who came were all equipped with swords. Judging by their attire, they were undoubtedly members of the Ministry of Punishment. "Come here, tie Ling Hao up for me!" Not only Zhao Yun, but also Ling Hao was stunned, "Bold maniac, how dare you say you don't know that you intend to murder the emperor? , take a good look!", a volume of Ming Huang Jinshu, how is this possible?Ling Hao didn't know what happened at all, he was chatting well with Liu Xie during the day, why did this person want to arrest him at night?murder?The guard with the knife stepped forward and grabbed Ling Hao's hands. "Zixuan——", Ling Hao was completely out of state, like a person who went out to buy things and was said to be a thief when he paid the money and went through the security check, so unreasonable, but the thing happened at this very moment , on itself.Even though Ling Hao didn't know what happened now, he miraculously calmed down, "It's okay, I want to see what happened, Zilong, Ling'er will be entrusted to you for the time being.".

Without giving Ling Hao any extra time, the guards tied Ling Hao's hands behind his back and said, "Go back to the Ministry of Punishment." With the order, Ling Hao was restless. what happened……

Zhao Yun can't do anything, as long as he makes a move, not only will he be charged with the crime, but it will also make things more complicated. Maybe Ling Hao will be convicted of the crime, so he can only watch helplessly as Ling Hao is taken away. For once, I felt so incompetent.
