Chapter Fifty-Four(1/2)
Beating someone feels good for a while, but it makes you cry when you lose your official position.
Liu Qing and Liu Bei whipped the governor painfully in the street. Amidst the applause of the people, Liu Qing directly acted as a "model" and slipped out of the city.
Liu Bei thought about it again and again, and planned to abandon his official position and run away, but he was unwilling to do so. He had no choice but to give up the post of county magistrate he had earned through military exploits so easily. As Mr. Liu Qing said -
"It's all the fault of the dog thief Shi Changshi!"
Liu Bei felt a little inexplicably upset when he thought about it. Firstly, since he was sitting upright, he was not necessarily afraid of the Superintendent's complaint. Secondly, he was beaten as soon as he hit him, and the seal and ribbon were returned to the Superintendent. He should have been beaten two hundred more times.
right.
Didn't perform well!
After Liu Bei left the city, he met Liu Qing waiting outside the city and immediately greeted him.
"Jun Zheng, are you waiting for me here?"
Liu Qing smiled and said, "What are Xuande's plans?"
Liu Bei lowered his head and sighed, "The imperial court is dim and the official system is dark. Bei is thinking about how to help the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bei, who felt that the officialdom was dangerous and the "human heart" was dangerous, felt that he had suddenly lost his way.
"Xuande, don't be upset. The real man has his ambitions in all directions. The mere county magistrate, for Xuande, is actually a constraint!"
After listening to Liu Qing's words, Liu Bei suddenly felt a lot better. After serving as an official for several days, he did not feel very comfortable. To be honest, he was still used to the feeling of being in the army.
Liu Bei suddenly remembered that he had received Liu Qing's guidance before, and had just had the opportunity to make achievements. Suddenly, he had a thought in his mind and asked: "You are just thinking that the world is so big, where should I go?"
Liu Qing pretended to be thoughtful, and then said: "The rebellion in Youzhou is no longer a serious problem, and the Black Mountain Army can't make anything happen. At the moment, the Yellow Turban Army is rampant in the land of Qingxu. Xuande can go here."
Liu Bei looked to the north inexplicably. Jizhou was still a neighboring state. If he went south, he would really be leaving his hometown.
"What Jun Zheng said is absolutely true! I am a man with ambitions in all directions, my second brother and my third brother. I want to follow Jun Zheng's words and go to Qingzhou first!" Liu Bei said.
"A man's ambitions are all over the world. When we brothers became sworn sworn brothers, we determined to help the Han Dynasty. We are at home all over the world, so what if we do that!" Guan Yu said boldly.
Zhang Fei echoed: "Big brother and second brother are right, if you go to Qingzhou, go to Qingzhou!"
After saying that, Liu Bei said goodbye to Liu Qing directly. Before leaving, Liu Qing inexplicably remembered a sentence——
So he cupped his hands and said: "Xuande, the green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. You and I will eventually meet again!"
Liu, Guan, and Zhang handed over their hands: "See you later!"
Watching the three people leave, Liu Qing suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. Let's not talk about the relationship between Guan and Zhang. This kind of sworn bond is still very desirable, especially since Liu Qing was an only child in his previous life and lost all his brothers and sisters in this life.
He was the only one left.
"My lord whipped the postal supervisor and provoked Liu Xuande to leave, but for the sake of the Black Mountain Army?" Guo Jia asked from the side.
Liu Qing smiled and said, "Even if I don't fight today, he will fight by himself sooner or later."
"Liu Xuande is a reserved person, not like a reckless person."
"Don't be fooled by his appearance. Liu Xuande is a passionate and passionate person with great ambitions. After being tempered by this matter, he will be able to make further progress."
Guo Jia stared blankly at the retreating figures of brother Liu Xuande. He didn't fully understand what his lord was saying, but he was deeply shocked by it.
Is the lord intentionally manipulating the fate of others? This feeling is getting clearer and clearer.
In the past, Cao Cao used Xun Yu to offer suggestions, and later Dong Zhuo sent envoys to deliver messages. But now Liu Bei simply quits. He first made him perform meritorious service and gained the post of county magistrate, and then destroyed it with his own hands, forcing him to run away and force him to suffer disaster.
its growth.
At this time, Dian Wei came with several people on horseback.
"My lord, the matter is over, that fellow is dead," Dian Wei said.
"Well done!" Liu Qing replied calmly. Such a simple thing is really not worthy of praise.
"My lord, if you want to kill this person, why don't you let Liu Xuande do it? It's him who has to bear this crime." Guo Jiadao.
"I gave him a chance. Xuande actually had murderous intentions, but the kindness in his heart still defeated the murderous intentions. In a single thought, he did not kill."
That's why he can become Liu Bei. As far as he is concerned, the governor is just a corrupt person who demands bribes, and his crime does not deserve death. If he were to kill, I am afraid there would be no benevolent Liu Bei.
The same difference of opinion was between Lu Boshe and Cao Cao. Once the bottom line in his heart was broken, there would no longer be a bottom line. Therefore, in future battles, Cao Cao would often swing his butcher knife at innocent people.
"I originally thought that the lord wanted to kill the eunuch's minions with his own hands."
"That's right, I just want to kill the eunuch's minions!" Liu Qing turned to Dian Wei, "Is there any propaganda that the murderer is Wuzhou Hou Liu Qing?"
Dian Wei nodded, "When I killed him, there were many onlookers, and soon the news would spread throughout the county."
"What is the purpose of my lord's action?" Guo Jia was puzzled by his lord's behavior and took the charge of murdering a court official. Is there a mystery that he had not discovered?
"This move has no meaning, it's just interesting. I think Luoyang has been dull for so long, and it's time to get some news. Counting the time, Xun Yu's letter should be arriving at Changshan soon, and it's time to go back."
Guo Jia and Dian Wei looked at each other, Guo Jia got on the carriage, and Dian Wei led his team back.
Halfway through the journey, when he was about to leave the Zhongshan County boundary, a horse suddenly arrived and announced that Xun Yu had arrived at the Yuan clan in Changshan.
So Liu Qing speeded up and rushed back to Yuanshi in two and a half days.
Xun Yu came in person and in such a hurry, something big must have happened.
In the study room of Liu Qing's residence, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Ju Shou Tian Feng gathered together. Liu Qing had already known the big news brought by Xun Yu for the first time. However, Ju Shou and Tian Feng, who had just taken a break from their busy affairs, still
Not sure why.
"Wen Ruo, just say it again!" Liu Qing was too lazy to speak himself, feeling a little speechless.
This is only 184, why did everything happen in 184?
"Your Majesty, Yuan Hao!"
, make the King of Hefei the emperor."
"What!"
"really?"
Ju Shou and Tian Feng both exclaimed in unison. Guo Jia, who had heard about it for the first time, remained calm, as if he thought it was just ordinary news.
"Fengxiao, why aren't you surprised?"
"My lord is not not surprised." Guo Jia suddenly turned to Xun Yu and asked, "When Wen Ruo informed my lord, was my lord surprised at all?"
Xun Yu glanced at his lord and thought that it was just as Guo Jia said. As soon as Liu Qing came back, Xun Yu hurriedly whispered the matter to him. He didn't know whether his lord had a good psychological quality or just didn't take it seriously. He was really calm.
The four of them looked at Liu Qing together. They already knew the matter and its seriousness. The only thing they wanted to see was the attitude of their lord.
Three options.
To stop Wang Fen, or to acquiesce, or...
"Ho ho~" Liu Qing smiled and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, where did this news come from?"
Ah! I forgot whether the news is reliable!
Jushou Tianfeng realized at the same time that the impact of this news was so great that they forgot their doubts for a moment. He was worthy of his lord——
Don’t be surprised!
"To be honest, it's my nephew Xun You and Xun Gongda."
"Xun Gongda, is he willing to..." Liu Qing meant to use it for him. Although he knew that Xun would most likely not agree at this time, he still asked out of luck.
"I'm sorry, my lord, Gongda is currently serving in the court and is considered a general of the faction. It is not convenient for him to vote for him."
Xun Yu declined politely, but then he added: "But Gongda has said that if the lord is willing to become his uncle, he would be willing to serve the lord."
Jushou's brows jumped, and he realized that things were not simple, and he immediately calculated the seniority in his mind.
Xun Yu called Xun You his nephew, and if Xun You wanted to call his lord his uncle, he would marry Xun Yu's sister.
It had only been a few months since the lord married Cai Yan, and there was a Xianbei princess in front of him. Moreover, he also knew that Liu Qing raised a beautiful woman, the missing one. Now, Xun wanted to marry the lord again.
Fortunately, he had urged Liu Qing to get married earlier! Unexpectedly, in just half a year, four of them would appear!
"This is inappropriate!" Jushou said directly, "My lord, think twice!"
After saying that, Jushou also poked Tian Feng with his elbow.
Tian Feng quickly raised his hands and said: "My lord, important matters are the most important thing!"
There's nothing wrong with it, marriage is a big deal!
That shit about Liu Hong is none of my business!
Liu Qing asked again: "Wen Ruo, does Gongda have any other news? For example, when they learned that Liu Hong was inspecting the old house, how did the general and the third prince react, and did the Yuan family take any action?"
After hearing his master's question, Xun Yu smiled. Now Xun You was not considered Liu Qing's spy. Before Liu Qing agreed to the conditions, the news about Liu Hong's northern sacrificial tour and Wang Fen's rebellion was considered a friendly gift.
Seeing Xun Yu's smile, Liu Qing also understood what he meant. Giving is affection, not giving is duty. If you want to cooperate for a long time, then marry Xun Cai first!
So Liu Qing shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, Jushou complained heavily, "Ouch! It's a matter of great concern to the Han Dynasty, but it's actually disturbing the love between children. My lord, please be more serious!"
These words seemed to be addressed to Liu Qing, but in fact they were meant to be addressed to Xun Yu. Jushu was the only person present who could speak of Liu Qing in such a tone.
"If your Majesty makes a mistake, the world will be in chaos. My lord is not fully prepared to face the troubled times. In my opinion, Wang Fen's matter should be stopped!" Then the conversation changed and he continued: "My lord, today's fate is undecided.
To be continued...
