Chapter 26: Medicine Bribery Technique
The floor still needed to be mopped, and the corpses had to be disposed of. While Yangcuo was arranging the guards to clean up, he was thinking about when to defect to the Bingzhou military camp outside Luoyang City.
It was completely impossible to stay in this dog basket place. Yangcuo knew very well that if he stayed here for another day, he would be in greater danger.
Who is the white-faced little eunuch? He is Zhang Rang's adopted son. Of course, this adopted son is also an eunuch.
It is not uncommon for eunuchs to adopt sons. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, had an eunuch as his father. This man was Cao Teng. Cao Teng was also a great eunuch. Can eunuchs give birth to sons? Obviously not! Cao Song is Cao Teng.
Teng's adopted son, from a certain perspective, is part of Cao Cao's dark history. Of course, Cao Cao's fortune cannot be separated from the support of Cao Song and Cao Teng.
Things often have two sides, good or bad. Liu Bian killed Zhang Rang's adopted son. He not only vented his anger on Lu Jun, but also gave Zhang Rang a warning to a certain extent. Of course, the most important thing was the relationship between Liu Bian and Zhang Rang.
The relationship will definitely break down, and Liu Hong will definitely pay more attention to this matter.
Liu Bian originally had a good relationship with Zhang Rang, with no conflicts of interest and many bribery dealings, so they were considered to be friends. But now it is different. Zhang Rang wants to protect Zuo Feng and engages Lu Zhi and Lu Xun.
, Liu Bian killed his adopted son in retaliation, so what happens next is predictable.
Zhang Rang would either swallow his anger and pretend that nothing happened; or he would fight back fiercely and fight to the death with Liu Bian. Of course, this situation is unlikely, at least Liu Bian thinks it is unlikely. Of course there are
The third situation is that Liu Bian and Zhang Rang are at odds with each other on the surface, but secretly engage in some friendly bribery transactions. The probability of this happening is relatively low. Liu Bian doesn't care anyway, and it mainly depends on Zhang Rang's attitude.
.
Liu Bian didn't necessarily want to break up with Zhang Rang. The main reason was that he wanted to attract Liu Hong's attention. He rescued Lu Jun and killed Zhang Rang's adopted son. It was impossible that this kind of thing would not attract Liu Hong's attention. Even if Liu Bian
Hong pretends not to know, and Zhang Rang will gossip in front of him.
When his son came back from leading the army, he didn't even summon him. This attitude of leaving things aside made Liu Bian unhappy, so Liu Bian took this extreme measure, which was rough and direct.
Liu Bian placed Lu Jun in the Luoyang Martial Arts Hall, and Shi A arranged for people to take care of him. Lu Jun's injury was still quite serious. Even though he had taken pills, he still needed a period of recuperation. The scholar's body and bones were not very good to begin with. If
If you don't take a good rest, you will definitely get the root of the disease in the future.
Lu Jun was moved and worried in his heart. If someone kills someone in Luoyang Prison, this matter will be placed on someone else. Nine times out of ten, he will be executed. But Liu Bian's status is different and he will not be punished with death, but Liu Bian will definitely be indispensable.
Lu Jun was worried about Hong's punishment. Of course, part of his worry was for Lu Zhi.
After Liu Bian rescued Lu Jun, he did not visit Lu Zhi in Luoyang Prison. The situations of Lu Jun and Lu Zhi were different. Lu Zhi was imprisoned under Liu Hong's death order. Without Liu Hong's imperial edict, Liu Bian could not have imprisoned Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi was brought out. If he was brought out, it would be rebellion and rebellion, which would be a capital crime for Tie Zhen.
But Lu Jun was different. He had not committed any fault. The reason why Lu Jun was imprisoned was, on the one hand, his own request, and on the other hand, the quarrel between Liu Hong and Zhang Rang, so
Liu Bian brought Lu Jun out of prison without any burden.
Liu Bian didn't wait too long at the Luoyang martial arts school. Sure enough, the little yellow gate from the palace came to send a message that Liu Hong was finally going to summon him.
Sitting in the carriage going back to the palace, Liu Bian was thinking about the three purposes of returning to Luoyang.
To save Lu Zhi, the second was to commit suicide to reduce Liu Hong's suspicion of him. The third was to retire after success and return safely to the six counties of Bingzhou. The third was to dig around and recruit a few talents to take him away with him.
Let's take a walk. How about going to Daxing Bingzhou with me?
However, Liu Bian has not achieved any of his goals at the moment. How to face Liu Hong is now his first problem to solve. He has rehearsed many scenarios in his mind, but none of them satisfy Liu Bian. Liu Hong is easy to fool.
Yes, but Zhang Rang and others around him are not so easy to fool.
The moment the carriage entered the palace, Liu Bian also made up his mind. If there was really no other way, he would have to resort to the mystical pill bribery technique!
The place where Liu Hong summoned Liu Bian was in his imperial study. In fact, Liu Hong was not a person who liked reading at all. His imperial study was filled with thick bamboo slips and many Confucian classics, but Liu Hong was
It has not been read for a long time. Liu Hong summoned Liu Bian here had a profound meaning, because the content he wanted to discuss with Liu Bian was relatively secretive. There were only two of them present, and even Zhang Rang
Not here.
Liu Bian knew what Liu Hong was thinking, but he didn't take the initiative to say it. Liu Hong was dozing off with his eyes squinted. Liu Hong was already dozing off when Liu Bian entered the imperial study.
The process lasted for a long time, so long that Liu Bian doubted whether Liu Hong had really fallen asleep.
As we all know, yawning is contagious, and sometimes sleeping is also contagious. Listening to Liu Hong's even breathing, which even contained a little snoring, Liu Bian felt that he himself was a little sleepy.
What the hell! We agreed to discuss what is happening right now? Who gives in? How big is the concession? We haven’t started discussing this yet, so what’s the point of sleeping first?
Liu Bian was murmuring in his heart. He really felt that his cheap emperor father was too unreliable. It was not unjust that the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed in his hands. Everyone was here. It was hard for everyone to explain clearly.
?
Just when Liu Bian felt that his legs were numb and he adjusted his sitting posture, Liu Hong slowly opened his eyes and saw that he yawned greatly and stretched a lot.
Okay! This guy must have fallen asleep! He slept soundly!
Liu Bian looked at Liu Hong, and Liu Hong looked at Liu Bian. Their big eyes stared at each other. After a moment, Liu Bian calmed down and said first: "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"Well!" Liu Hong's interest seemed not to be high. He just nodded and responded subconsciously. Then he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly: "It is said that you were injured while fighting the Yellow Turban Army?"
"Yes, I suffered some internal injuries!" Liu Bianyan said concisely and concisely. Naturally, he would not talk about losing his mind-cultivation skills, but it was true that he vomited blood and suffered internal injuries.
"Is it serious? Has the injury healed? Have you sought medical examination?" Liu Hong's three consecutive questions surprised Liu Bian. It seemed that this cheap emperor's father was not so unbearable, at least he still cared about him.
of his son, but Liu Hong’s next question immediately made Liu Bian give up such an idea.
"Will it affect alchemy?" Liu Hong had an anxious look on his face, and it was obvious that he was most concerned about this issue.
Liu Bian smiled awkwardly. The saying that dogs can't change from eating shit is probably what it means. Liu Bian thought to himself: I still have illusions about this cheap emperor father. I'm so stupid!
"The injury has healed and it does not affect the alchemy." Liu Bian said, his tone was neither cold nor hot, and his attitude was neither salty nor indifferent.
"That's good, that's good." Liu Hong seemed relieved.
, he calmed down and then asked slowly: "I heard that you came back yesterday, why didn't you come to see me?"
If I don’t come to see you, don’t you have something in your heart? Is it because I don’t see you? It’s obvious that you didn’t summon me!
You must complain, but you can't say it out loud, you can only keep these words in your heart. Liu Bian did not answer Liu Hong's question, he just looked at Liu Hong, as if to say: Dad, you yourself
Think about it, why didn't I come to see you?
Liu Bian didn't reply, and Liu Hong wasn't angry either. He naturally knew why Liu Bian didn't come to see him. It was just that he deliberately embarrassed Liu Bian. When the conversation changed, Liu Hong asked again: "Here comes Zhang."
The newspaper said that you killed his adopted son in Luoyang Prison, is this true?"
"It is true that several people were killed in Luoyang Prison, but I don't know which one is Zhang Rang's adopted son." Liu Bian still sounded lukewarm. He really didn't know which one was Zhang Rang at that time.
Even if Rang's adopted son knew about it, he would still kill him, so Liu Bian's attitude was a bit tough at this moment.
Just kill an eunuch, what are you afraid of? Could it be that the cheap emperor would kill the prince, the young master, to save his life? Don't be ridiculous, if you tell me this, who will believe it?
Anyway, I don’t believe it, but whoever believes in Tema’s love will believe it!
When Liu Bian said this, Liu Hong was speechless. Not to mention that those who don't know are not guilty, just because of Liu Bian's identity and status, there was nothing Liu Hong could do against him. As Liu Bian guessed, a
Liu Hong knew very well whether a eunuch or a prince was more important or less important.
But Liu Bian showed an attitude of not being afraid of boiling water, which made Liu Hong very unhappy. Of course, he was unhappy, and Liu Hong didn't lose his temper with Liu Bian. What's the use of losing his temper? Beat Liu Bian
A meal? Liu Hong himself was unwilling to take action, and others probably wouldn't dare either.
The atmosphere in the imperial study gradually became dull at this moment. Liu Hong didn't speak, and Liu Bian didn't speak either. The two of them were in a stalemate. After about another stick of incense, Liu Hong was defeated first.
Come, he spread his hands and said: "Everyone has been killed, why do you have to show some respect?"
"What does it mean? That little eunuch used lynching on Lu Jun. According to the law, he should be killed!" Liu Bian replied directly to Mang.
"Huh? It was I who ordered Lu Xun to be tortured!"
"Lu Jun is not guilty. If my father wants to beat him, I have nothing to say. But if others want to beat him, I can't agree."
"Now! Anyway, now that Lu Xun has been taken away by you, I will not pursue his matter. You should be satisfied with this, right? But what about your murder?"
"One code cannot equal the other. These two things cancel each other out. What do you think, Father?"
"Then I feel like I'm at a disadvantage, and that's not okay!"
"A bottle of Shiquan Xiaobu Dan!"
"make a deal!"
Using elixirs to offset the responsibility for killing people is probably the only thing that can be done by Liu Hong. Liu Bian didn't do anything, so he handed a bottle of Shiquan Xiaobu Dan directly to Liu Hong. Liu Hong happily took it.
Said: "Zhang Rang has complained a lot about this!"
Liu Bian didn't say much, and another bottle of Shiquan Xiaobu Dan was handed to Liu Hong. Liu Hong took it again and said: "You didn't come to see me yesterday. It was rude!"
Liu Bian glared, but he did not argue. The third bottle of Shiquan Xiaobu Dan was handed to Liu Hong. Liu Hong stretched out his hand to take it without saying anything, but Liu Bian opened his mouth and said: "I will lead the army to conquer the Yellow Turban Army, big and small."
Chapter completed!
