Three Kingdoms

With the implementation of Comrade Wang Mang's series of policies full of heroic Natner, an incarnation of luck, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu made a shining appearance.

Liu Xiu is simply the most typical representative figure in ancient inspirational history. A poor girl turned tall and handsome, and a rich and beautiful girl fell in love with a poor man. Her life was smooth and smooth. She became famous in one fell swoop and became a role model for a generation...

Liu Xiu was actually born into a family of small landowners in the countryside - suddenly he felt a strange sense of familiarity - and his father was only a low-level government official, but he had already resigned and returned home. Although he was considered a clan member of the Liu family, he was already a member of the Liu family. A side branch of a side branch.

When Liu Xiu grew up and reached the age of marriage, Bai Fumei came to her door - Yin Lihua. Li Taibai praised Yin Lihua's beauty as "a beautiful woman with beautiful jade color, a Chinese woman with a charming face." Of course, in addition to her peerless beauty, Yin Lihua is also the daughter of a truly wealthy family...

In addition, Liu Xiu also served in prison. Others were in prison and stripped of their skins even if they did not die. Liu Xiu was fine. After he was released from prison, not only was he not successfully reformed, but he immediately rebelled...

At that time, one of the big rebels was the Red Eyebrow Army, and a small one was the Green Forest Army. Liu Xiu joined the small one. As a result, the big rebel Red Eyebrow Army without Liu Xiu was easily beaten by Wang Mang until he cried for his father and mother... …

Later, when Wang Mang's various county troops and the powerful troops of the Central Forbidden Army met Liu Xiu, something strange happened. 400,000 regular troops fought against 20,000 local warriors and bandits. Not only did they fail to win, but they were also defeated. After a huge defeat, only 3,000 of Wang Mang's 400,000-strong army fled back...

What exactly happened at that time cannot be completely restored by just relying on a few words in the letter, but it can also be glimpsed. Wang Mang, who was walking smoothly on the king's road, tripped on the stone of Liu Xiu and was unable to recover. The hero accepted it. Turnell's new dynasty was ended, and history continued to follow the path of feudal society.

Therefore, the more Li Ru watched, the more palpitated he became, and the more he understood the past history, the more uneasy he became about his original plan. Li Ru originally planned to use about twenty years to pave the way for Dong Zhuo, build popularity and lay a solid foundation. However, when he saw Wang Mang and Liu Xiu's old affairs, he found that he could never do better than Wang Mang. Okay, but Wang Mang failed strangely. Can he guarantee that the second Liu Xiu will not appear when he takes the kingly path in the future?

The king is slow but the domineering is fast. If he takes the hegemonic route, Li Ru estimates that if everything goes well, it will only take three years for him to defeat all the forces that oppose him in the world. Although he may not be able to eliminate all the forces in the world, he can at least kill most of them and leave the rest. There is no need to worry about the little things that have happened. Of course, the premise is to first bear the risks that have exploded in the past three years.

Li Ru called Jia Xu over because he wanted to hear Jia Xu's opinion, so after he showed Jia Xu the slip, he looked at Jia Xu quietly and waited.

Of course Jia Xu knew what Li Ru wanted to ask, but what should he say? Should we choose long-term stable development and deal with small problems first, but in the future we may be hit by big troubles that cannot be solved by human power? Or choose the other side, that is, we will have some big troubles now, but these big troubles can still be solved by relying on human wisdom. Once it is solved, you can expand your own power to the maximum in the shortest time, and complete the transformation and gain new life before the unsolved problem comes in the future.

Jia Xu clasped his fingers and muttered to himself. Even with his intelligence, he couldn't immediately weigh the pros and cons of the two paths.

This is not as simple as choosing whether to eat noodles or rice today. Which path you choose means what you will face in the future. The price you pay is not only your own life and death, but also your success. The wealth and lives of thousands of followers...

It's so difficult, Jia Xu's head started to heat up when he thought about it, and he couldn't help but press his scalp with his oily fingers.

The corners of Li Ru's eyes twitched again. Sometimes, if it weren't for the sake of his fellow disciples, he would really be intolerable to this unkempt Jia Xu.

This time, a servant came to the hall with his hands down and handed over a famous letter, saying that Lang Guan Feiqian was invited to come and asked Li Ru if he had seen him or not.

"Take him to the side hall and wait." Li Ru ordered, then looked at Jia Xu, "I'm not in a hurry. There's still some time. Wen He might as well think about it carefully."

Jia Xu rolled his eyelids, "You will call me if you are not in a hurry? Huh, how much time do you estimate there will be? Oh, it's really heartbreaking. It seems that that road is not easy to go now..." Now he is in the middle of the king's way and At the overbearing fork in the road, you can choose which way you want to take at any time during this period, but as time goes by, if you want to change the road again, it is not just as simple as turning back, but also requires paying an unimaginable price. It will directly shake the foundation.

"At least ten days." Li Ru knew what time Jia Xu was referring to, so he answered. Now that the imperial court has just experienced turmoil, they are waiting to see each other's positions and attitudes, reshuffling the cards and selecting teams, and waiting for Dong Zhuo, who holds military power, to express his attitude and direction, but this time will not be too long, Li Ru The estimated time is almost the maximum.

"It's only ten days!" Jia Xu said, holding his head, "With so much to be recalculated, ten days is not enough? Why do you look like you are not in a hurry? Ah, what are you going to do? "

Li Ru stood up and walked out, saying calmly: "Going to see an old friend."

"Do you have any old friends in Luoyang? Wait, let me go and meet them too."

************

Fei Qian was quite uneasy. How could he be related to Dong Zhuo's number one military advisor, Li Ru? Although this invitation should be more good than bad, because if you really want to deal with a reserve official like yourself, why use Habayashi Lang to invite him? Fei Qian can't bear it if he just sends a messenger, but then again, it's not It's completely guaranteed not to happen, right?

It can be said that this is the first time for Fei Qian to deal with a well-known figure in the Three Kingdoms, and the little drum in his heart is beating non-stop. At any rate, Li Ru also single-handedly pulled Dong Zhuo from a local petty officer to a top warlord in charge of the government at this moment. O wise man.

Just when Fei Qian was in a state of confusion, he saw a person coming from the back hall out of the corner of his eye. He quickly stood up and stood aside with his eyebrows lowered. When the person's eyes were not on him, he quickly raised his eyes and glanced slightly, only to see that he was coming. E Guan Bo Dai, Qing Jun is not vulgar.

Is this person Li Ru?

It really completely subverts Fei Qian's three views. In the movies and TV shows that I have seen before, Li Ru looks as frustrated as possible. Not only is he vulgar, but he also has a constipated look on his face. Where can he be? Can you relate to the handsome guy in his thirties in front of you?

In fact, Fei Qian didn't fully understand that ancient times had always had very high requirements on the appearance of officials. Although they didn't necessarily have to be stunningly beautiful, they had to be at least close to Guangwei Zheng. As for misfortune, Those who look a little bit miserable are not very popular with others. If they are even more miserable and have an inhumane appearance, it is basically better to stop being a civil servant as soon as possible.

Therefore, not only did Li Ru not look as obscene as in later TV and movie works, but because he had lived in Xiliang for many years and had a group of Qiang people under his command, they still ate a little more meat than the Central Plains people. Therefore, His body is quite strong, unlike some literati who seem to ride the wind back when it comes.

Li Ru waited for him to kneel down at the table and signaled Fei Qian not to be formal. Fei Qian thanked him and sat down silently.

Li Ru looked at Fei Qian quietly and said nothing.

Fei Qian was also sitting calmly on his knees. In situations like this, only Li Ru had the right to speak first. If Fei Qian spoke first, it would be against etiquette.

Li Ru looked at the outline of Fei Qian's face, which gradually matched the image of the person from twenty years ago, "Are you twenty this year?"

"Exactly."

"Your birthday is November 26th?"

"Exactly." Although Fei Qian didn't know why Li Ru asked these personal questions, he still answered honestly.

Li Ru nodded, that's right, "You are currently a Langguan, do you have any actual duties?"

"I don't have a position yet." Fei Qian is just one of the many reserve officials in the imperial court, and has not yet been officially awarded an official position by the imperial court to be specifically responsible for that matter. The number of Lang Guan in the Han Dynasty reached more than 5,000 people at the most. Therefore, although Lang Guan can be called "official" in a so-so way, in fact, these Lang Guan without actual duties are just a nicer title, even compared to some of the subordinates of big officials. The servants are not as good as him.

Li Ru straightened his beard and said to Fei Qian: "So, there is a vacancy in the general's office. Are you willing to take it?"

After Fei Qian heard this, his heart felt like thousands of grass and mud horses rushing past. What is going on? Li Ru actually wants to grant me an official position? Working in the General's Office is actually an official who works for Li Ru, the Chief of the General's Office. After all, Dong Zhuo is in the limelight now, not to mention that in the future Dong Zhuo will subdue Liu Bian to the throne. After ascending to the prime minister's country, the officials under him will naturally become better and better——

This official position seemed wonderful and the future was bright, but Fei Qian knew in his heart that according to what he knew, Dong Zhuo would not end well in the end. So what kind of future could he have by following Dong Zhuo? Maybe it will be kicked off in a few years...

What if you reject Li Ru's invitation?

At this stage, Dong Zhuo is the undisputed leader. Fei Qian remembers that several high-ranking officials in the court seemed to contradict Dong Zhuo, and they were immediately captured on the spot. They were killed with a knife on the spot. There was not even a question about the queen, although it was said that it was only Li Ru who was there now. Ask for your opinion, but there is no guarantee that if you anger Li Ru and make Li Ru feel that he is ungrateful, shameless, and fined for not eating the toast, that will not be good...

How about a delay? Fei Qian suddenly felt that it was hard to find an excuse for procrastination now. If others could use the excuse, they would say that the matter was serious and that they needed to go home and discuss it with their parents. But Fei Qian's parents were both dead, and it was a side branch. There are no elders. If you say you go back and find someone to discuss it, who will believe it?

What should I do? Fei Qian was so anxious that he was almost sweating.
