Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 949 Sleepers and Awakeners

  In Chang'an City, calm has been temporarily restored, and groups of people gathered in Lifang, chattering endlessly around the screen wall where An Min's notice was posted.

"Do you know? When King Qin's army came, I saw it for real with my own eyes..." A man waved his arms, gestured and said, with a longing look on his face, and said loudly, "Then Cavalry... Let me tell you... tsk tsk tsk... that imposing manner... tsk tsk tsk... the Xiliang thief who snatched Lao Caitou's load of bamboo shoots a few days ago, remember? He was shot in front of King Qin's army horse! Poof! Hahaha, happy! Happy!"

   "That's it!" Someone in the crowd echoed, "Tell me about this, so-and-so helped me!"

   Then someone questioned in disbelief, "You old man, are you bragging? Are you still going up to help? Even killing a chicken is ink for a long time?"

Old Chang's head turned red, and he yelled loudly: "Hey! Don't tell me, I really did it! That day Qin Wang's army rushed into the city, and a Xiliang thief escaped from my courtyard. I...I really Let's do it! That really saw blood!"

   "Oh oh oh... I can't see it, so tell me, how did you do it?"

"Hmph!" Old Chang lifted his neck proudly and said, "Didn't I lie on the top of the wall and look out that day, and then I saw that Xiliang thief fleeing... I don't know where the energy came from... "

   "Oh oh oh... Then, what's the matter, what's the matter?" Everyone kept asking.

   "Hey... there happened to be a broken brick on the wall, I grabbed that brick and smashed it down!" Old Changtou waved his arms, as if he was still reminiscing about the feeling at that moment.

  Everyone: "..."

   "What are you doing? What do you mean? Smashing bricks is not a move? Then tell me, who has gone up to fight? Huh? Tell me?"

   "Zhongzhongzhong, you are always amazing, amazing!"

Similar to what happened on the streets of Chang'an, on the square in front of the Chongde Palace in Weiyang Palace, the officials of all sizes who saw or heard that King Qin's army defeated the Xiliang bandits were also in Weiyang Palace They gathered together before, and gathered around Chong Shao, Liu Fan, Ma Yu, and Pang Xi...

  Of course, there are some people around Fei Qian, but not many, and the official positions are not very high.

  But among them, there is a person who surprised even Fei Qian——Liu Dan.

  Many people are not very familiar with this comrade, but if you talk about Liu Dan's younger brother, it is estimated that many people will have an influence. Liu Dan's younger brother is Liu Zhang.

  Yes, Liu Fan, Liu Dan, and Liu Zhang are three brothers.

Liu Yan, the original founder of the Han Dynasty’s poaching, offered advice to Emperor Han Ling to establish a state pastoral system to control the growing local forces. Such a strategy of treating the symptoms but not the root cause received limited approval from the Emperor Han Ling. Support, of course, the first to get benefits is Liu Yan himself.

And Han Lingdi was not completely a fool who listened to the wind and the rain, so although he agreed with Liu Yan's suggestion, he did not spread it out in an all-round way, but tried it out in a limited and small area, and the best place to try it out is It is the frontier position of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Yan was only arranged to serve as Jiaozhou Shepherd.

As an important member of one party, as a rule, the family should stay in Kyoto as a hostage, so Liu Yan left several of his children in Luoyang, that is, the three brothers Liu Fan, Liu Dan, and Liu Zhang. When Liu Yan traveled to Bazhong, he felt that Jiaozhou was really something, so he wrote a letter saying that he was unfit for a long journey, and he would die if he went to Jiaozhou again. He hoped that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty would let him change it to Yizhou Shepherd...

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty felt that Liu Yan's words were sharp, and then felt that Yizhou was more or less a frontier area, so he agreed. From then on, Liu Yan became the shepherd of Yizhou. The emperor's health was failing, so he kept Liu Zhang for various reasons and refused to let him return to Luoyang. Therefore, Liu Fan and Liu Dan were the only ones who came to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo.

  Liu Dan looks like a handsome scribe, with a thinner face, but he is in his youth, so he doesn't look too thin. He has a short beard and wears a brocade robe. Of course, as a pure captain of Fengche, Liu Dan's body is still too thin, but it seems that because of this, Liu Dan is full of interest by Fei Qian's side, asking about some of the customs outside the Bingzhou Great Wall matter, showing a longing look.

"...The spring is late, and the flowers and trees are luxuriant. Cang Geng is crying, and picking Qi Qi..." Liu Dan bowed his hands to Fei Qian with a look of yearning, and said, "Sealing a wolf and living in a xu, Fei Hou has done a lot Yan..."

   "Zhong Jing's words are over..." Fei Qian noticed that Liu Dan didn't mean any irony, but pure envy, so he smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said a word of humility.

  In other words, whether it is ancient or later, as the second child, I usually only think of it when it is useful, and I am extremely disgusted when it is useless. This seems to be the same no matter for people or for anything...

As the eldest son of the family, the status of the eldest son and grandson is different, so the accompanying responsibilities are also different. On the other hand, the youngest sons will receive more love from their parents no matter what, and those in the middle, then, um , that's all.

  So Liu Fan treats people calmly, and is also responsible for handling some large and small matters. As Liu Dan, it is more often just as a foil, just like the current Feiqian.

  However, for Liu Dan, Fei Qian had a good first impression. Because compared with the surrounding court officials in brocade robes and beam crowns, Fei Qian's current situation is like an ordinary soldier.

In the Han Dynasty, there were no skin care products, sunscreen, etc., so I stayed in the north of Bingzhou for a long time. Feiqian’s face was relatively fair, but now it has been tanned. It’s natural to stay in Chang’an. There are some differences among the court officials in Chang'an who have cars to go in and out.

Moreover, Fei Qian led the cavalry along the journey, except for a temporary rest in Wubao outside Pinyang City, he never cleaned up properly, so the dust, sweat and blood all over his body were simply a mess. A source of super bad smell, even Feiqian himself felt that it smelled a bit rotten. Although he probably cleaned it after entering the city, there was still a lot of bad smell left on the uniform, and Liu Dan could actually face it. Standing aside without changing his expression, as if he didn't notice it at all, this made Fei Qian feel a little surprised.

  Liu Dan raised his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The scenery beyond the Great Wall... Some people like the scenery of Chang'an, but I think it's better outside the Great Wall... I don't know when I can see it with my own eyes..."

   "...um...hehe, if Zhongjing has time to go north someday, Fei will naturally do his best to be a landlord..." Fei Qian looked at Liu Dan, and replied with a smile. This Liu Dan is quite interesting. It seems that he looks like a young master, but in fact he is probably not a high-ranking yamen with unknown affairs...

   Liu Dan took a look at Fei Qian, then cupped his hands, and didn't say anything further.

  Chang'an, Chang'an.

  People who have fallen asleep in the past often have to feel discomfort or pain to wake up reluctantly, but now Chang'an is still sleeping, at least these court officials are still unwilling to wake up.

  Looking at the situation in front of them, it is still led by Zhong Shao, Liu Fan, Ma Yu, and Pang Xi, and officials of all sizes surround these four people like stars holding the moon.

Zhong Shao is the grandson of Zhong Hao, and Zhong Hao once served as governor, prefect, chief minister, Situ, etc. , has already held an official position in the court.

When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, because General He Jin had some doubts about Dong Zhuo's actions at that time, he ordered Chong Shao to order Dong Zhuo to stop marching, but Dong Zhuo ignored it at all, and even used his soldiers to attack Chong Shao. Threatened, but was yelled at by Zhong Shao on the spot, Dong Zhuo could not answer, and finally had to lead the army back temporarily...

  So, in a sense, Chong Shao, the leader of the anti-Xiliang alliance, can be counted almost from the time of He Jin, so he is naturally a veteran.

  Originally, Liu Xie wanted to meet these King Qin personnel immediately, but Chong Shao said that such an approach was illegal, so he changed it to the next day, which is today.

   Fei Qian did not express any opinion on this.

  Early before arriving at Weiyang Palace today, officials of etiquette had come to arrange the position and order of the officials to meet with each other, and Fei Qian, as a foreign official, was arranged after the officials of the imperial court.

hehe.

   Fei Qian still didn't say anything.

   This time I brought six hundred riders, one because the conditions did not allow it, and the other because Fei Qian still had some concerns.

  Now, this concern is becoming a reality, and it is placed in front of Fei Qian.

  Fiqian can be said to be in the Wubao of Pinyang Pangshu, when discussing and negotiating with Er Pang, he somewhat expected that this situation might happen now.

  In the eyes of these people, Fei Qian is not an absolute force, but a temporary alliance, not even an alliance, but a collaborator.

  For these people in the anti-Xiliang alliance in Chang'an, Fei Qian is just an invited collaborator to participate in this matter, not an initiator, let alone a decision maker.

   What's more, these people are afraid.

One is afraid that if Fei Qian follows the edicts of Li Jue and Guo Si at that time, then Fei Qian will already be one of the nine nobles, Guang Luxun, and now he has made the meritorious service of King Qin, so wouldn't he want to take the three princes? Come to reward?

  In the Han Dynasty, the position of the Sangong was so important, it was simply the goal of a nobleman's lifelong struggle. Is Fei Qian enough to be respected?

  Have you made any contributions in Confucian classics?

  Do you still have extensive contacts in the ruling and opposition parties or among the people?

  Then if there are none of these, why give Fei Qian the position of San Gong?

   If you really give it, how can you play happily together?

Secondly, these people were even more afraid that Fei Qian would take advantage of this opportunity to become Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si, and become the next person to use force to coerce the court. The soldiers of Xiliang carried out the reorganization and reorganized the Imperial Army guarding Chang'an City, and even intentionally or unintentionally sent Fei Qian away, not wanting Fei Qian to control these army soldiers...

  So when the ceremonial officer arranged the position for the audience today, he did not regard Fei Qian as Guang Luxun, but ranked according to his previous official position.

  However, the actions of these people are exactly what Fei Qian wanted.

After getting in touch with Pang Xi and even Chong Shao a few days ago, Fei Qian has realized that these anti-Xiliang alliances in Chang'an are actually still living in his dreams, imagining what Wang Yun did before, After killing Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang soldiers would disperse with a "buzz", and they didn't do anything about the Xiliang generals who were leading the troops outside. They just felt that cutting off their food and grass would lead to their collapse...

   If it is said that before Li Jue and Guo Si did not capture Chang'an, there might be such a possibility, but now this ideal state is no longer possible.

  If you don't own it, you don't care about losing it, but once you own it, the pain of losing it again often makes people do some crazy things. It can be said that when Li Jue learned that Chang'an was attacked and Guo Bang was killed, he would definitely not disband on the spot as Chong Shao and the others imagined, but would come back with crazy revenge, but...

  At this moment, is it useful to say it?

   Having said that, are these officials who are immersed in the dream of victory and sleeping in old habits, willing to wake up?

   "Quiet! All officials return!"

  The ceremony official standing on the side of the square shouted loudly, which immediately represented the official start of the meeting. Although the etiquette norms of the court meeting in the Han Dynasty were not as perverted as those in later dynasties, there were still some rules.

  The gate of the Chongde Hall in Weiyang Palace burst open, and a little Huang came out, walked to the front of the hall, screamed with his neck stretched:

   "Xuan Baiguan has an audience!"

   More than a dozen mighty guards of the imperial guards of the Chongde Hall shouted:

   "Xuan Baiguan has an audience!"

  The ceremonial officer standing outside the palace took the third stick, and shouted loudly at the officials inside Fei:

   "Hundreds of officials have an audience! Trend!"

   "Liu Duwei, please." Zhong Shao gestured slightly to Liu Fan.

  Liu Fangong cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Please waiter."

  Afterwards, Zhong Shao was located in the east column, and Liu Fan was located in the west column. The two entered the gate of Chongde Hall first, and the officials followed in turn.

  Fei Qian silently lowered his head and followed behind the lineup of officials to the west. No one likes a person who wakes him up from his sleep, otherwise there would be no such words as getting up, even if it is a dedicated alarm clock, there is a risk that it will be broken in the next moment, so Fei Qian naturally does not Will be full of fearless spirit to be such a pioneer, let the sleeping people fall asleep...

  At this moment, if the position of Guang Luxun is rejected, then he is only a prefect of an outer county or a general who protects the Hun, so naturally he will be ranked behind these nobles in the court...

  On the main hall of the Chongde Hall, after all the officials sat upright on their respective mats, the ceremony officials sang loudly:

   "Welcome to Your Majesty's ascension to the palace! Bye!"

   All the officials, including Fei Qian, turned to the throne and bowed.

  At this time, Liu Xie turned out from behind the screen of the Chongde Hall in a stable manner, sat on the throne slowly, and then with a trace of uncontrollable smile, he said loudly: "Everyone, love you, stay flat!"
