Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

Half an hour later, Liu Ling walked out of the Han Mansion in a daze.Han Yan performed all the etiquette of a hospitable host to personally send the guests outside the house, and watched Liu Ling board the luxurious carriage and blend into the deep night.Guo Xie, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared ghostly in front of him, looked at the direction Liu Ling was driving, and said coldly, "You want to use him to break up Huainan King's offensive?"

"Don't say it so ugly?" Han Yan looked back at Guo Xie with a smile. "If it's cooperation, wouldn't it be more euphemistic?"

"The so-called cooperation means that both parties have to pay something in order to achieve the goal. This is only fair. If one party pays and the other party enjoys the results, it is naked use. I remember this sentence was said by you." Guo Xie was very happy. It is straightforward.

"Uh..." Han Yan rolled her eyes helplessly. "Listen to me, Guo Xie, you are not a businessman. So there is no need for you to learn these theories. Aren't you a knight? A knight should be willing to be kind to you."

"But I think your words are quite right." Guo Xie looked at Han Yan seriously, "And don't you hate my identity as a tomb robber? Since I can't use those methods to get money, I have to think of other ways. Personally, I think business good."

Han Yan raised her hand and touched her head in distress. Guo Xie's articulate words have become more and more articulate recently.

"If you want to take advantage of someone, you must have a bargaining chip that can control her." Guo Xie said suddenly, looking at the dark night. "Can you force Liu Ling to work for you?"

"I'm not using her, this is really a cooperation." Han Yan explained tirelessly.After a pause, he suddenly spoke again: "Do you have any good methods?"

"Liu Ling's biological mother is a humble singer. Liu Ling was born to the king of Huainan when she was drunk and violent. Because her status is too humble and her personality is very dull, she doesn't please the king of Huainan. Liu Ling When Ling was young, his life was worse than the children of ordinary maidservants, until Liu Ling found a way to get into the eyes of King Huainan and helped him do many things, the life of the mother and daughter improved." Guo Xie Said lightly.

Han Yan had heard Liu Ling talk about these experiences before, but he didn't understand why Guo Xie wanted to talk about it now, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows suspiciously, motioning for Guo Xie to continue talking.

"Since the Lord Liu Ling left Chang'an last time, he has been sent by the King of Huainan to contact the princes surnamed Liu and the officials who are stationed abroad. Even this court meeting came with Liang Wang Liu Mai. Therefore, there is no chance to return to Huainan." Guo Xie continued to talk after making a fool of himself.

"I already know all this, what exactly do you want to say?" Han Yan asked impatiently.Although it is a new year with a new atmosphere, the weather is still very cold, especially at night like this, the temperature is getting freezing.Han Yan even felt that the soles of her feet were almost frozen by the cold.

"Forget it, let's talk in the room if you have anything to say!" Han Yan waved her hand, signaling Guo Xie to go back to the main hall together.Walking all the way to the top seat and sitting down, holding up the shoes and tucking her legs into her arms, Han Yan raised her voice and said, "Bring me a quilt quickly, I'm freezing to death."

As soon as the words fell, the maid immediately walked in with the brocade quilt.Guo Xie picked it up halfway, and the maid bowed and immediately retreated.Guo Xie unfolded the brocade quilt, and the baked brocade quilt had a soft smell.There is also a hint of fragrance flowing into the nose.Guo Xie carefully covered Han Yan with the unfolded brocade quilt.He picked up the teapot from the hot copper stove and poured a cup of milk tea to Han Yan, then said: "The king of Huainan recently got an orchid, which is said to be plump and beautiful, very different from our big man's women. King Huainan loves her very much. Therefore, the woman he favors is domineering, especially likes to make things difficult for King Huainan's former concubines. However, those concubines may have some background in their families, or have their own tricks to get the attention of King Huainan. It's okay. It's a pity that some people who are not favored and have no background are about to be tortured to death."

Han Yan listened and sighed in displeasure.It's another fight between women. It seems that he has been in Dahan for so many years, and he hasn't escaped from these nonsense.Now the scope of gossip is getting bigger and bigger, and they even inquire about other people's inner houses.

"Master Liu Ling doesn't know about this." Guo Xie said lightly.

"So what, the King of Huainan did not intend to threaten Liu Ling's mother in keeping Liu Ling's mother. Even if Liu Ling knew about it, it would be useless!" Han Yan shook her head and said desolately.

"This is our sincerity. I can get that singer out." Guo Xie said suddenly.

Han Yan's expression changed, and she said coldly, "No, it's too dangerous."

Thinking about it with his knees, he knew that King Huainan's palace must be heavily guarded, and he didn't want to break Guo Xie—although this person has become more and more annoying recently.

"It doesn't matter. You should know that I have stayed in the Huainan Palace before. I am familiar with the security inside, not to mention that I have friends in the Huainan Palace. It will be fine if we cooperate inside and outside." Guo Xie laughed softly.Seeing that Han Yan is rarely worried about herself, she is also a little bit happy.

It was only then that Han Yan thought of Guo Xie's great achievements in history. He was a strong man who was able to conquer a hundred Yulin soldiers in Shanglin Garden alone. It is estimated that stealing someone from the Huainan Palace might not be a big deal for him.

"As long as the young master tells Liu Ling about the singer, we will be considered sincere. And we can continue to suppress Liu Ling after stealing her from a long distance. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Guo Xie spared no effort to seduce road.

Han Yan pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I will send you a secret guard. But you must remember that your own life is still the priority in this operation, and there is no need to force it."

"Okay, don't worry!" Guo Xie reassured with a beaming smile.

"If you really stole the person back, you don't need to send it to me. Just send it to Liu Ling with drums and gongs." Han Yan continued.

"My lord?" Guo Xie was shocked, a little confused about what Han Yan was thinking. "If this happens--"

"You must remember, and you must let the king of Huainan know. Of course, it is best to send the singer to Liu Ling in front of the king of Huainan. And tell Liu Ling that it is I, Han Yan, who can't bear the lovesickness of the old man. Bitter, I traveled thousands of miles to bring her mother here." Han Yan said, her exquisite eyebrows and eyes fainted by a thief's smile.Seeing Guo Xie helplessly shake his head and sigh——

A fox is a fox. Sure enough, a straightforward person like myself would never have thought of such a trick.

Glancing at Guo Jie's children's shoes who were willing to bow down, Han Yan took a sip of the hot tea in her hand in satisfaction, and said slowly: "This means that you don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious! How can I, Han Yan, do it all my life? What about coercing someone's wife and daughter? I just don't know if the virtuous Huainan king of a generation can understand this truth."

Two days after His Majesty gave the banquet, the princes and kings entered the palace for a "small meeting".According to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings should return to their fiefs immediately after seeing Xiao.Therefore, in late January, the princes and kings stranded in Chang'an began to reverse in twos and threes.In history, the King of Huainan stayed in Chang'an for a long time under the influence of the "Book of the King of Huainan". Unfortunately, this time the dispute between the Empress Dowager and Liu Che was not so obvious. "The influence of the clan of the Liu surname was not that great, and Liu An had to return to the Huainan fief according to the ancestral system.But he did not give up and kept Liu Ling, and secretly ordered Liu Ling to win over the ministers who needed to be used in Beijing as soon as possible.

The traces of progress between history and reality are almost the same, but it is only "almost".As the emperor's close servant, Han Yan, who was taking Liu Che's farewell to the princes and kings outside Chang'an City, looked at Yiyi and Liu An's father and daughter, who were kind and filial, and shook their heads indistinctly.It's a pity that Guo Xie and his party couldn't come back at this juncture, otherwise he really wanted to see Liu An's expression when he saw that he delivered the singer to Liu Ling with his own hands.

After the princes visited, the court also started a new year's operation.The first big thing is to deal with the "recruitment order" issued years ago. All the heroes and virtuous men who are eager to try and wait for the order have been waiting in Chang'an for nearly three months.Liu Che also waited for more than three months in Weiyang Palace, so on the second day after the imperial court started writing, at the first great court meeting in the first year of Jianyuan, Liu Che accepted the opinion of Han Yan, who had been planning for a long time, and made this The final form of Jucai was decided.It is divided into three parts: the first round of written examination, the second round of interview with the examiner, and the third round of policy discussion.Candidates will be randomly assessed by all court dignitaries including His Majesty.

Liu Che was very concerned about his first major event after assuming the throne.And personally ask questions about the way of governing the country.This is also the content of the first round of written examination.

The first round of written examination was conducted by Prime Minister Wei Wan.At the beginning of Chenshi, all candidates entered the Public Transport Department and began to answer the papers after going through strict screening.Unfortunately, Han Yan and Zhou Mingjin led a group of Habayashi soldiers to maintain discipline in the examination room in the bus department.Han Yan, who is familiar with history, specially found the partition between Dong Zhongshu, Gong Sunhong and others, and observed it carefully.I found that these people did not have the sour and Confucian spirit as imagined, and even all of them were flushed and full of energy.Can't help being a little surprised.

But when I thought about it later, if these people didn't have excellent physique and endurance, how could they have the energy to persuade Liu Che to depose all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone?What's more, there are many differences between Confucianism today and Confucianism that has been dogmatic in later generations. Confucianism at this time is relatively "inclusive of all rivers", so it has incomparable advantages in unifying thoughts and consolidating imperial power. All the reasons for resolutely promoting Confucianism.However, no matter what, Han Yan's innate aversion to sour Confucianism made him not have a good impression of Dong Zhongshu and others.

With a gloomy expression, she lingered in front of the partition between Dong Zhongshu and other Confucian children for a while, and finally Han Yan gave a cold snort, shook her sleeves and left.The weather is too cold, if you have the time to wander outside, it's better to go inside and warm yourself by the fire!

Wei Wan, who had been watching at the door for a long time, looked at Han Yan, who was turned back by Shi Shiran, and asked around and found that there was no trouble, so she breathed a sigh of relief.Regardless of his identity, he even handed a cup of hot tea to Han Yan who had just entered the door.Han Yan was baffled and flattered.After Wei Wan asked Han Yan to keep warm in the room until the end of the exam, Wei Wan became more and more suspicious.

But thinking of the freezing weather outside, Han Yan still readily agreed.By the way, Zhou Mingjin, who was patrolling in another alleyway, was also called back. The two boiled a pot of wine on the red clay stove, and drank it together with Wei Wan, Wang Zang and other examiners.

At a quarter of the hour, Rove, who was counting the time, struck the gong with a stick.The petty officials who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to collect the examination papers.Stacks of papers were all delivered to Wei Wan's desk.Wei Wan browsed calmly, and found that the papers of Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong and others were neatly sandwiched in the middle of a pile of examination papers, and there was nothing weird about the strategies on them. This was a real sigh of relief. .Touching the smooth and flat paper with her fingers, Wei Wan couldn't help but think of the inventor of the paper and also the most trusted and important subject of His Majesty——Han Yan.

Wei Wan frowned involuntarily.This accompanying boy, who has an absolutely special status in His Majesty's heart, has a natural aversion to Confucianism.Although most of the time, Han Yan's attitude and actions have always been relatively objective, but this inadvertent disdain and alienation still affected His Majesty-this is because His Majesty has not been very keen on discussing the advantages of Confucianism in governing the country with him in the past year. I can tell.

Wei Wan was a little anxious about His Majesty's change.But with a loyal and virtuous nature, he is used to silence most of the time.The thought of loyalty to the emperor does not allow him to use tricks to force His Majesty, so he can only watch His Majesty drifting away gloomyly and doesn't know what to do.

That's why he suggested that the imperial court should promote talents immediately after His Majesty ascended the throne, and that's why he quickly notified the familiar Confucian sages to make preparations at the same time, and disclosed all His Majesty's preferences to them, in order to be able to do so at this time. During the process of recruiting talents, they can catch His Majesty's eyes.Among them, he put most of his hopes on Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong.

Originally, he was worried about whether Han Yan would do something during the exam because of his disgust.Because of the private friendship between the emperor and him, Wei Wan even guaranteed that if Han Yan did something that undermined the fairness of the exam, Liu Che would not blame this person who grew up with him.Because no one knows better than him what Han Yan's position is in Liu Che's heart——

That is the only "playmate" who will accompany His Majesty without hesitation, no matter whether His Majesty is honorable or difficult. That is the "brain tank" that His Majesty will inevitably leave his shadow every step forward. A "subject" whom His Majesty wholeheartedly trusts.What's even more rare is that this person almost—no, has never disappointed His Majesty.He has this ability, and this friendship is fully supported by His Majesty.Because of this, Han Yan is feared by many people.Like him, like many princes, like...the Queen Mother.Sometimes Wei Wan even wondered if Han Yan could get His Majesty's approval for whatever he said, even if...suggesting His Majesty to stay away from it or even hold it in the air——

"Teacher, what are you thinking?" Han Yan suddenly shouted in front of Wei Wan.

"What?" Wei Wan came back to her senses, looking at the enlarged delicate face of Han Yan in front of her, she couldn't help being a little stunned.

"Teacher, it's four quarters you, can I go back?" Han Yan rolled her eyes and asked.

Wei Wan glanced around and found that Wang Zang and others were a little anxious, so she couldn't help but chuckled softly: "Okay, let's go back together!"

As he spoke, he stacked the test papers on the table together.Much lighter than the bamboo slips, Wei Wan's body lightened, and she couldn't help but praise again: "Ah Yan really has a clever mind, and the promotion of this paper is really crucial to the education and promotion of talents."

Wang Zang, Zhao Wan and others also agreed with each other.Basket after basket of compliments without money was thrown at Han Yan.Hearing that, Han Yan blushed a little.

"Ahem, it's getting late. Shall I send the exam papers to Weiyang Palace?" Liu Che had let go before, and after the exam, he would personally review the exam papers.

"Of course!" Wei Wan replied with a smile, and walked towards Weiyang Palace with the test paper in her arms.Behind him, Zhao Wan, Han Yan and others Shi Shiran followed.The last twilight of the sky is also gradually falling...

A new day is about to begin...
