Considering that Yangtze River can enjoy the Yangtze River version of "going down the river" on the way back, and Huan Xin must also pack his things, Liu Cheng, who has obtained the status of the Huan Clan "Bearer of the Staff", did not leave directly, but decided to stay a few days longer.
In the past few days, the main task is naturally to solve Huan Xin's worries.
However, after a brief exchange, the third son of the Huan Clan, who knew that he only had to live in Shouchun as normal, unexpectedly had little resistance... Firstly, he knew that his father had made a promise and he had no room for resistance; secondly, an unexpected and reasonable point was that he was a man who was politically motivated. The newlywed wife, Sima Yu, and her third daughter, Sima Daofu, hope to live closer to Jiankang. Once they go to Shouchun, the journey home will change from sixty days to more than ten days, and they can even stay in Jiankang for a long time.
For the little princess who is only sixteen years old this year, it is undoubtedly a huge temptation.
Of course, the core reason lies with Huan Xin himself.
In the past, Huan Laosan had some ideas. After all, his eldest and second brothers were too hopeless. However, as he grew older, he gradually realized that he was indeed better than his two brothers, but he was just a little better. This difference was not enough for him to cross the line between legitimate concubines. At least he could not climb the mountain of legitimate mothers and gain his father's approval.
Even Huan Wen has to give in to his wife's demands again and again and firmly maintain his identity as Huan Xi's first wife Heir Apparent. What can he change?
In addition, there are many young women around Huan Wen, and his mother has long been unfavored. Instead of staying with his father, brother, and mother, and being suppressed, it is better to leave Jiangling and see if he can find a way out elsewhere and take his mother out in the future to provide a good support. Liu Cheng is an acquaintance after all, and things have been done properly several times. To put it bluntly, he is more trustworthy than a few uncles.
Moreover, Shouchun and Jiankang are close to each other after all, so they may still be able to count on their father-in-law.
After realizing that there was no need to specifically deal with Huan Xin, Liu Acheng should have taken the opportunity to find people like Luo You and Xi Zaochi to connect with each other. He even planned to find who recently returned. Jingzhou It is said that Shi Dao'an who is charging Duan Er, and Yao Yisheng and other Qiang people generals who were not very familiar with him before... However, before he could find anyone, someone came to the door first.
In fact, Liu Cheng can understand it very well. Like Huan Xin, they may look beautiful on the outside, but in fact there must be many Huan family members who are restricted by their origins.
But after learning that Huan Qian still hadn't entered Clan Genealogy, he was still stunned. You, Huan Qian, have all your merits and qualifications. General's title has them all, but you haven't entered Clan Genealogy yet?
What else is there to say?
He immediately took over the matter for both public and private reasons, for the benefit of his reputation and for morality.
This is really nothing to argue about. To put it bluntly, for Liu Cheng, Huan Clan "Bearer of the Staff" from outside the town, the value of Huan Huo may not be as high as that of Huan Qian, the cavalry general. What's more, behind this incident, Huan Huo's own attitude should be more inclined to his eldest son.
However, the time was tight and the task was urgent, so I was afraid that I couldn't make any detailed preparations. So, after some questioning, I decided to adopt the simplest and most direct strategy - to gather a crowd to make trouble at the house while the husband was not at home.
After Huan Qian heard it, he immediately agreed and told Liu Cheng clearly. It was so embarrassing that he also admitted it.
Obviously, his patience has reached a certain extreme.
Let's say that Huan Huo went to Yuzhou. That place was dangerous and had no material security, so he simply sent his wife and children back to Jiangling... I can only say that Yuan Zhen was generous with the gifts. Ping, do as he pleases and meet his needs... Of course, Huan Qian was not left here on purpose, but he was Jingzhou's general Cavalry Army and needed to maintain the cavalry at Xiangyang.
Just based on this, Liu Acheng can't say anything about Huan Wen. What's wrong with you for breaking up? Why are you wrapped up in family ties? Do you have to wait for your nephew to break up for himself?
Of course, if it weren't for Huan Wen's shamelessness, Huan Huo's guilty conscience, and Huan Qian himself being tied up by his native family and still being restrained, it probably wouldn't be Liu Cheng's turn to take action.
Just do it. On October 27th, Huan Qian went to the military camp outside the city to pick up Military Weapons. Liu Cheng let Wang Tanzhi do it and invited Huan Xu, who was their first acquaintance, to have a drink with Qixia Tower. Naturally, was also at the table. Jingzhou Master Zheng, Shi Dao'an who has been very active in Jiang Province recently, as well as Xi Zaochi, Luo You, Yuan Hong, Fu Tao, Huan Yi, and even Yao Yisheng have been invited.
After eating in the afternoon, one of the people suddenly complained and said that although the fish at Qixia Tower was delicious, it was not as fresh as Lotus Root Soup. He invited these people to drive together to the east of the city to drink Lotus Root Soup. Naturally, everyone had nothing to say, so they went downstairs together, merged their cars like all celebrities and colleagues gathering, and went to another place in a drunken state.
As a result, after walking only one street, many people realized that something was wrong, because at some point, Mounted Slaves, who did not know whether it was Xi Family or Xie Family, poured out one after another, and soon surrounded the seven or eight cars, escorting them on their way.
Liu Yulong doesn't have this habit.
Even Jingzhou colleagues who know this person know that when he is really in a hurry, he is too lazy to even sit in the car, and he always pays attention to quick results.
But at this time, you can't jump out of the car halfway, right? It's quite dangerous, right?
And what else can be done? We can't find Huan Wen again and force her into the palace again? After knowing that Huan Xin was going to leave with Liu Cheng, many people had already guessed the basic purpose of Liu Cheng's sudden arrival.
It makes no sense, the purpose has been achieved.
No matter, there are so many people anyway, and by then everyone will be gone.
In fact, many smart people, when the car drove into the General Who Pacifies the North mansion where Mounted Slaves had forcibly removed the door threshold, did not realize what this guy was going to do - it had nothing to do with whether they were smart or not, it had something to do with whether they knew or not, and it had something to do with whether they dared to think or not.
Even Xi Zaochi looked at his uncle Luo You in disbelief for verification when Liu Cheng drunkenly called Huan Huo his legitimate son Huan Xiu.
Luo You huddled in the car, with a dark face and spread hands. He seemed to be angry because he didn't drink Lotus Root Soup, and he didn't even want to get out of the car.
Huan Xiu has no friendship with Liu Cheng at all. The time he arrived at Jiangling and his age made him miss the active period of Liu Cheng, but he recognizes the others, and Liu Cheng is the serious Attendant-in-Chief and General of the Vanguard Army. The day before yesterday, he came, just wanted to take away Huan Xin, so that the whole Jiangling was in a sensation yesterday, and they were surprised that Liu Cheng became the first Huan Clan's surname "Bearer of the Staff". Some people even thought that this was Huan Wen taking the initiative to deliver "half quality", and naturally they knew this person.
At this time, this man came with a group of real Jingzhou dignitaries, and there was no reason not to receive him.
However, just when Huan Xiu hurriedly came out to greet him with a dozen of his brothers at home, and bowed their hands, Liu Attendant-in-Chief didn't even make the slightest preparation to move forward, and jumped out of the car and started:
"I don't even know your cousin's name, so I just came to visit you. Does your Majesty know why?"
Huan Xiu responded blankly, "Attendant-in-Chief must have teachings."
"It's really a teaching." Liu Cheng walked over and put his hands behind his hands and asked without hesitation. "I heard people say that among the Huan Clan disciples, only one step is proficient in "Lao" and "Zhuang". Pure Conversation is romantic?"
This tone and gesture were wrong. Huan Xiu knew it was wrong, but he couldn't deny it. "That's true, but it can't be called proficient. It's just that I don't have other skills, so I rely on "Lao" and "Zhuang" to masturbate."
"That's still wrong, because you already have a reputation outside. When I asked, I found out that everyone at Jingzhou actually knew that you were reading "Lao" and "Zhuang", Shang Pure Conversation, and you just didn't claim to be proficient, but you didn't refute it." Liu Cheng pretended to be drunk. "Isn't this the truth?"
"Refuting what?" Huan Xiu was really puzzled. "Why refute it."
"Why should you refute it?" Liu Cheng said sharply, the sound shaking the roof. "Don't you know that as a disciple of the Huan Clan, just worshiping "Lao" and "Zhuang" and Pure Conversation is already a heinous crime?"
Huan Xiu is really confused: "Huan Clan children can't Pure Conversation read "Lao" and "Zhuang"?"
Not only him, but the dozen or so younger brothers behind him also raised their heads in astonishment, and many of them were obviously surprised.
"You can talk about it, you can read it, but you can never praise it, or even recognize it." Liu Cheng stood with his hands behind his hands, and his tone was a bit vicious. "In the past few decades, the world admired Pure Conversation and was based on inaction, but Duke Huan young people held arrogance, and for this reason most of them were metaphysics. Celebrities ridiculed; when he reached the position of Jingzhou, he was still regarded as an old revolutionary... That is to say, Duke Huan has the world at heart and knows that he can't save the world without holding a sword, and he can't save the country without a sword. Otherwise, he would have been unified by them and become a Pure Conversation guest like you.
"It is precisely because of knowing this truth that Duke Huan was able to Conquest of Shu enter the customs, regain the two capitals, and then look at Shenzhou from Luoyang, lamenting Wang Yifu the sins of Shen Guo, I was fortunate enough to be by his side, standing up and recounting the depravity of the nobles and the nonsense of famous people, and helping him to whip the world into advocating Pure Conversation's evil habits and yearning for the evil customs of metaphysics.
"This matter has only been happening for a year, but it can be said to be vivid in my mind. As a descendant of the Huan Clan, don't you know about it? Or do you know about it, but don't take it seriously?
"Furthermore, is it just Duke Huan and me who have made such statements over the years? Today's celebrities are none other than Right General Wang and Xie Eastern Mountain, and Right General Wang believed in Daoism in his early years. However, a few years ago, I told him about the suffering of the North as a refugee, and he himself said it himself, admitting that Pure Conversation was harming the country; Xie Eastern Mountain also refuted Right General Wang at that time, saying that Pure Conversation would not necessarily lose the country. As a result, I faced the death of my second brother a few months ago, and I regretted the inaction of Eastern Mountain in the past. As for me, I relied on the Shangsi Festival Orchid Pavilion association to gain a little fame and escape from the ranks of the outcasts. However, after following Duke Huan, I talked about 'Rather Be a Hundred-Man Commander' in Chang'an and denounced the degeneration of the noble clan in Luoyang. This shows that the world's atmosphere has gradually changed under the leadership of Duke Huan.
"At this time, as the son of the Huan Clan, you know clearly that the loss of Shenzhou is the responsibility of the former celebrities, you know that the merits of your father, brother, and uncles lie in war, you know that Jingzhou is civil and military, and even the wise people of the world are here. To favor martial arts and abandon Pure Conversation, but here you praise "Lao" and "Zhuang" and encourage Pure Conversation... In a broad sense, this is abandoning the responsibility of the world and willing to degenerate. In a more detailed sense, it is also using the son to defeat the father, using the nephew to demote the uncle, and using the younger brother to destroy the elder brother.
"I don't know, what can you recommend?!"
Huan Xiu stood there, feeling ashamed, angry and confused at first, after all, he was young, but later on, his whole head became confused.
First of all, he advocates metaphysics and Pure Conversation, and studies "Lao" and "Zhuang", which in itself shows that Huan Wen is not opposed to these, at least not to the extent of publicly scolding his nephew. Moreover, the current world atmosphere is still quite supportive of this aspect, and there is no "change of atmosphere" as Liu Cheng forcibly said.
Otherwise, why did the famous and romantic Meng Jia from Jingzhou go to South of the Yangtze and immediately become sworn friends with Xu Xun and start traveling around the mountains and seas?
Including those friends who were Pure Conversation with me before, are they all fake?
This isn't right.
Secondly, he still doesn't understand why, sitting at home, this important court official and uncle's confidant, who will leave in a few days, will bring a large group of Jingzhou prominent figures to the door, and then scold him in a long speech.
Are you still scolding me so harshly online?
Finally, the matter involved his uncle, father and the eldest brother, how should he refute it?
Just like this, maybe he wanted to carry out the word "inaction" to the end, or maybe he already had the demeanor of a celebrity. After standing for a moment, he did not choose to respond. Instead, he handed over to the other party, threw away a dozen younger brothers, turned around and ran back.
When Liu Cheng saw this, he had no intention of letting the other party go. Instead, he turned around and said hello like a bandit, "Come with me, gentlemen!"
Of course, no one went with him, let alone followed him. These people did not escape, just because Slave Retainers brought by Liu Cheng blocked the door, otherwise they would have run away long ago.
Liu Cheng didn't care about these people. He really followed the young man in front of him like a drunken gangster.
The Huan Clan "younger brothers" looked at each other in shock, and couldn't help but get into a mess, and then Central Hall followed in confusion.
Huan Xiu saw that the other party was chasing after him, and had no choice but to avoid Central Hall to the east wing where he was sleeping. However, the other party still pursued him, so he simply became heartbroken and went to the backyard where his mother and sisters were. As a result, he got in. The maid took over and supported him. When he turned around, the other party still followed him.
Huan Xiu had no choice but to turn around and block the courtyard door, whispering to each other, pleading hard. "Liu Attendant-in-Chief, my mother-in-law is from Mount Tai Kong Clan. She always values etiquette. Please don't trespass into the backyard. There are only female relatives here!"
"That day General Xie An chased Duke Huan into the inner room, and Elder Princess was very happy to see Lao Ge. Today I chased to this point. I think my mother must be very happy." Liu Acheng not only did not stop, but spoke loudly.
Huan Xiu was stunned. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think about it for a moment. But at this time, Liu Cheng got even more serious. He actually grabbed the person in front of him with one hand, and then walked to the inner room on his own. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Is Mrs. Kong at home? Junior General of the Vanguard Army lead Attendant-in-Chief, Huainan Administrator, Liu Cheng of Pengcheng, and Huan Clan are close friends. Today I am very close to Pingbei, and more than ten people invited me to come to worship my mother! By the way, I want to ask Mount Tai Kong Clan for etiquette!"
The maids had already fled in panic. At the same time, there were many women in the side rooms on the left and right looking in. They didn't know whether they were Huan Huo's daughter, concubine, or both, and they were all covered up in a mess.
At this time, the whole backyard was in complete chaos. After a while, a woman in her mid-thirties had no choice but to come forward, but she appeared in the back hall, blocking Liu Cheng's way. "Liu Attendant-in-Chief was drunk, how could he break into the inner courtyard and molest my son without any etiquette?"
Liu Cheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the rightful owner appear, and immediately asked, "Does Mrs. Kong also know about Lun Li?"
Mrs. Kong was shocked when she heard this - how dare this guy do that?
"With all due respect, Mrs. Kong is the most rude person in the Huan Clan's house." Liu Cheng faced each other face to face through the middle door of the back hall.
"How could Liu Attendant-in-Chief accuse my mother so rudely?!" Huan Xiu, who didn't dare to resist at first, was furious and grabbed Liu Cheng's arm on the spot.
Liu Acheng was not afraid at all, and pointed one hand at Huan Xiu with the other on the spot and said to Mrs. Kong who was so angry that she could not speak, "In the past Dong Zhongshu it was said that the father is the guide for the son, the king is the guide for the ministers, the husband is the guide for the wife, and women's etiquette is the first to teach their children to obey their husbands! Now Mrs. Kong teaches her children to betray their father, brother, uncle, and at the same time violate the ways of their ancestors, which is the most unethical thing in the world!"
Mrs. Kong was shocked on the spot.
Liu Cheng Seeing this, he was not polite, and explained the truth in the front yard, and then continued to question, "We people, risking our lives to help the country, have finally changed the ethos of some scholars, but Mrs. Kong allowed her own descendants to do such things. Which family's ethics and etiquette is it? Mount Tai Kong Clan, have you never seen this kind of etiquette?"
Mrs. Kong was silent for a long time. She is a Inner Residence woman. Once her status and authority cannot be effective, what can she do to such people?
After thinking for a moment, I could only swallow a breath and say, "It's because the scholars were biased before and I couldn't teach them enough."
"Is that just that?" Liu Cheng grinned jokingly and raised his voice in response. "But I also heard that Mrs. Kong not only allowed her children Pure Conversation to run her family, she also despised martial arts and despised military merit..."
"Where is this nonsense?" Mrs. Kong was really angry. "I..."
"If that's not the case, with General Huan Qian's military exploits, how come Clan Genealogy is not even allowed to enter?" Liu Cheng interrupted the opponent directly.
As soon as these words came out, not only Mrs. Kong, but also Huan Xiu, who was still fussing, were suddenly stunned, and the movement in the corridors of the wings on both sides also stopped.
After a while, Mrs. Kong, who seemed to have regained her composure, actually laughed, "I just said that Liu Attendant-in-Chief has such a great reputation, how can he come to humiliate our mother and son for no reason, and actually want to interfere in our family affairs?"
"What Madam said is inappropriate. If what I say is true, it would be an insult to Madam, mother and son!" Liu Cheng also suddenly became solemn. "Besides, Duke Huan controls eight states, and his actions are related to the safety of the world, Huan Qian is a general of the country, Huan Clan, how can there be family affairs?! When Emperor Wen of Japan entered the Chang'an emperor's selfless affairs, didn't you know with your wife's family education?!"
Mrs. Kong, who seemed to have calmed down at first, was panicked again. Can she say this? Has my cousin reached this point?
"Madam." Seeing this, Liu Cheng suddenly let go of Huan Xiu, and sat cross-legged on the wooden board in front of the door in the back hall. Then he bowed on the ground and saluted, as if he had been performing some nonsense before. "I came here today naturally to seek justice for Huan Qian, but I also have something to say about your mother and son. Please allow me to speak, madam."
"If I don't listen, I'm afraid Liu Attendant-in-Chief will chase me into my bedroom." Mrs. Kong came back to her senses and was furious.
"Madam, Huan Pingbei was ignorant when he was young, and was intemperate in his youth. This is his fault." Liu Cheng responded slowly. "But you didn't refuse to marry me back then, and you couldn't restrain yourself after you married. You only used your status to suppress the bastards... In fact, I can also understand... What can a woman in a boudoir do when two races marry? There is a gloomy feeling in my partiality, and I just want to hold on to the end.
"It's just that there is a time for everything and a mode for everything.
"Speaking of things, General Huan Qian has now made great contributions to the country, Huan Clan, and Jingzhou civil and military officials, and his own innocence will be pitied by more and more people as his achievements become greater and greater. Otherwise, why would I bring so many people here and end up here so easily?
"From the current situation, as I have just said, Duke Huan has reached this point, Pingbei has also achieved it, General Who Pacifies the North, Huan Qian The general is a well-known general in the country. In this case, I hope that the matter will be hidden in the privacy of the house as before, just cover up and steal the news. In the future, I am afraid that this matter will be recorded in the history books, so I dare to ask, how will your wife and your son be evaluated?
"Madam, you rely on the fact that you are the cousin of Grand Marshal and Pingbei, and the nephew of Mrs. Lao Kong. Your mother's family naturally suppresses your husband's family, and they hold back on etiquette. No one in your family has dared to criticize you publicly. But once the matter is brought to the world and public affairs, will your behavior be praised?
"Not to mention your legitimate son, people in the world will only think that he is jealous of his talents..."
"This matter has nothing to do with him. They have always been friendly brothers." Mrs. Kong suddenly interrupted.
"No one in the world will believe it, not to mention that since ancient times, fathers pay their debts to their sons, and mothers teach their sons. You, mother and son, are one, and the world will definitely count you together." Liu Cheng knew that the other party was wavering, and quickly suppressed it. "Madam, if you really love your legitimate son, you should know what Touching the Dragon said Queen Dowager of Zhao... Madam, do you know this allusion?"
Mrs. Kong remained silent.
Liu Cheng didn't care whether people had read "Strategies of the Warring States", so he retold the allusion from his junior high school, and then said it seriously, "Parents love their children, and they should have far-reaching plans. Moreover, as the son of the master, and as a relative of flesh and blood, you cannot rely on unworthy honor and unearned service... This is not what I said, this is what the Warring States people said thousands of years ago, so a wise person like Queen Dowager of Zhao will naturally know to make corrections in time. Madam, now it is your turn to make some corrections for your own son-in-law plan, otherwise Young Lord Zhen'e will be too late in the future if his achievements are greater."
Mrs. Kong sneered, "I have long heard that Ambassador Liu Attendant-in-Chief can bring Lower Reaches together to make Northern Yan's Murong Clan and Former Qin's Fu Clan is admired from top to bottom, and they have seen it today, but Liu Attendant-in-Chief, you brought so many people into my home today and made it known to everyone. If I change my ways, can we restore the reputation of our mother and son?"
"Who knows what I did?" Liu Cheng looked around blankly. "Didn't I just drink too much and come to persuade Pingbei's legitimate son to abandon Pure Conversation? Inner Residence respects family privacy, who heard it?"
Mrs. Kong was stunned.
"Besides." Liu Cheng looked around. "I saw a lot of Pingbei Children. I heard that there seemed to be almost twenty sons. The ones who had just been chased from the outer courtyard were about ten. I guess they may not all be Mrs. Kong's biological children, right? Why don't you wait for me to be beaten out and list them together as Clan Genealogy, to show your lady's generosity?"
As soon as he said this, there was an obvious commotion behind him.
Mrs. Kong seemed to hesitate.
Liu Cheng suddenly turned to Huan Xiu, who had been silent for a long time. "As the eldest son, if you don't learn martial arts, your brother will go into battle to kill the enemy. Shouldn't you take the initiative to lead your brothers to set an example at this time?"
Huan Xiu next to him also hesitated for a moment, but after scanning his brothers who were obviously commotion on one side, he still lowered his head, bowed respectfully to his mother, and said in a low voice, "Mom, some things cannot be stopped... Even after today, I will It's useless to come, why do it in vain and lose both name and reputation? Moreover, how will we end today's matter? Liu Attendant-in-Chief is an important minister of the imperial court and uncle, are we going to kill him here? Why not agree to him and let him get a favor from his brother."
"I'm just afraid that one day your brother will betray Huan Clan because he can't bear it, and then you mother and son will completely lose the chance." Liu Cheng quickly corrected. "As long as Mrs. Kong says a word to me, I will leave now. When the New Year comes, Madam will do her own kindness."
Mrs. Kong remained silent.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng was too lazy to argue with the other party. He stood up suddenly and went straight to ask, "I wonder if your Ancestral Shrine has the same etiquette as the imperial court. It is in the east of the backyard of the main residence? Is there Clan Genealogy inside?"
Mrs. Kong, who had already suffered the most unpleasant surprise in her life today, could not help but be dumbfounded, and then shouted, "How dare you!"
Liu Cheng ignored it and went directly to the east to find it.
Mrs. Kong finally panicked and hurriedly followed out. "Hold on! Liu Attendant-in-Chief Hold on!"
"Madam!" Liu Cheng suddenly turned around and almost didn't bump into her. "I know that you feel wronged, I know that you are extremely dissatisfied, and I know that you are only insisting on this matter with all your anger. But you can't escape this matter on the first day of the third grade, but not on the fifteenth day... I took it away today and forcibly changed it. You can still make excuses to yourself, but I am extremely rude. In a few years, it will be difficult for Young Lord Zhen'e to suppress it anymore. Duke Huan personally signaled it or Pingbei changed it on his own. You don't even have anyone to blame you for... Why bother? Why don't you blame me!"
When Mrs. Kong heard these words, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. After a moment, she turned around to see that her own son was involved. All the grievances turned into tears, but she finally stood still.
And Liu Cheng was not polite when he saw this. After walking over, there were two Huan Xiu brothers secretly hiding in the corner to give guidance. It was easy to enter Ancestral Shrine's house, take out Clan Genealogy, and then he didn't learn Sun Wukong. Instead of writing the book of life and death randomly for others, he kept a straight face and instructed the younger brothers of Huan Qian and Huan Xiu to get the pen and ink. Then he severely pointed out one person who was responsible for copying, and asked another person to report the dozens of brothers and sisters of Huan Qian and compare them one by one.
After finishing writing, I also ordered a few Huan Huo sons with new names, and sent the items out the back door to Huan Wen's Grand Marshal house for replacement.
There, according to the ritual system, Huan Wen naturally set up Family Temple Ancestral Hall, and there was a general ultimatum.
Just like that, after waiting for a long time, he estimated that it was impossible to chase the person back, so he walked over, bowed respectfully to Mrs. Kong who had fallen down and shed tears, and turned around to leave.
Back in the outer courtyard, he officially announced that Mrs. Kong had accepted his suggestion and would not allow her son to have a chat with her son anymore. If anyone in Jiangling dared to talk with Huan Xiu in the future, Mrs. Kong would have his legs broken.
So, I urged everyone to drink Lotus Root Soup together.
Everyone was happy to pretend to be ignorant, praised him one after another, and turned around together.
At dusk, everyone dispersed and went back, but Luo You chose to be last... Liu Cheng knew that the other party had something to say, and just by looking at his face, he knew it was not a good word, so he waited for him honestly.
"Yulong, the matter is over." After merging, Luo You responded seriously in the car.
"Which one has passed?" Liu Cheng asked sincerely.
"You only did two things when you came to Jiangling." Luo You said solemnly. "You don't need to explain it, just let me measure it. I have to say that the first one is impossible to do. In order to avoid the big storm later, you need to take precautions in advance and have a ballast stone. Even if you go overboard, it is naturally right. "Today's matter, with your current status, can naturally suppress the absurdity of a house. Huan Qian will be even more grateful to you. He is General Cavalry Army. He can save your life when necessary. It is obviously right... However, it is not appropriate to overlap the two things."
Liu Cheng's heart moved slightly, and then he asked seriously, "Master Zhai Ren is saying that Duke Huan is actually not that open-minded? Do you think that I am arrogant and arrogant, or that I am overly calculating my personal gains and losses?"
That's right, Liu Cheng doesn't think Huan Wen will be dissatisfied with him because of the so-called "transcendence" and "absurdity", but behind these two things, Liu Cheng's calculations for personal gains and losses may not be kept in Huan Wen's mind.
"He now needs you to occupy Western Command for him and take care of Jiankang, which is naturally open." Luo You has no choice but to do it. "But if one day he doesn't need you anymore... according to his temperament, although he still won't be able to hide himself like a bird, if he vents his anger on you or deliberately humiliates you, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape."
"Just like Xi Army Advisor?" Liu Cheng reacted without much surprise or even regret.
"Yes." Luo You sighed.
"Then find a way to make yourself indispensable." Liu Cheng almost blurted out. "There is no way, Luo Gong, the storm will get worse in the next few years, how can you calculate so clearly?"
Luo You was not so angry when he heard this this time, but still shook his head. "Having said that, it is still too difficult to get to that point. You must know that what you and Xi Jiabin did was not to push him to become the Supreme in order to have his tail? But once a person really reaches the position of Supreme and can be blessed by himself, how can anyone else be indispensable?"
Liu Cheng is speechless.
"What's more." Luo You paused and responded in a low voice. "Compared with becoming the Supreme, I am more worried about Duke Huan's anger after suffering a big setback... You should have a certain grasp of his temperament, right?"
Liu Cheng was finally shocked, but slowly realized. "If this is the case, then we should make ourselves indispensable."
Luo You thought about it for a moment, but actually just folded his hands and nodded.
-----I was finally shocked by the dividing line-----
Every time Yi Shi failed to return to the court etiquette because of drinking, he tried to force Duke Huan to drink. The Duke went to his wife's main gate in Nankang to avoid him. The master said, "If you don't have a crazy Sima, how can I meet you!" Yi Shi then brought the wine to listen to the matter, and invited the soldiers and commanders from Huan Gong's gate to drink together, saying, "It's no wonder that you lose an old soldier and gain another veteran." The master is not responsible.

Emperor Taizu has done many rude things to Uninhibited Conduct under Duke Huan, but the public has repeatedly ignored them. Jingzhou was in awe, so he asked Shi Dao'an: "How can the Lord be so harsh on us?" Shi Dao'an replied, "In the past, Yao Yizhong and Fu Hong were rude in Zhao and did not impose any blame."

In addition, in history, Huan Qian was recognized only by adding stones to all the brothers' names and changing their names to Huan Shiqian. The addition of stones was a prophecy for Fu Jian after he became emperor, so There is reason to believe that Huan Qian gained family recognition later than this time period in the book, including his subsequent job transition, which should also be directly related to Huan Xiu leaving Jingzhou to go to Jiang Province.
