Chapter 240 Invitation by He Jin
Liu Ye and Xun You had a conversation, and many opinions coincided with each other, so they became more and more appreciative of each other, and they drank until late at night.
There is a curfew in Luoyang, and pedestrians are not allowed to go out at night. When Cao Cao was a captain in the north of Luoyang, because the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo went out at night, he was beaten with a five-color stick, although now Cao Cao is in Qingzhou. , but it's better not to go out at night.
Xun You, who was a little tipsy, agreed to Liu Ye's request, and simply slept in the posthouse. He and Liu Ye talked at night by candlelight, and then gradually fell asleep.
On the second day, Phoenix Hall.
"Brother, do you know who came to the palace yesterday?"
He Jin nodded when he heard his sister's words: "Aren't they Huangfu Yizhen and Liangzhou Inspector Liu Ye? What's the matter?" Some eyeliners, such as Xun You, the servant of the Huangmen, belonged to the scholar party, even though they served in the palace, and were on the same side as He Jin.
Empress He told the palace servants behind her, "Call Bian'er out."
"Here."
The palace people turned around and left, not long after, Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, walked out.
"After the child met his mother, he met his uncle."
A smile appeared on He Jin's face: "What books did Bian'er read today?"
"Back to uncle, Bian'er is reading "Historical Records" recently."
He Jin frowned: "What are the books written by the eunuchs worth reading? You have to read more Confucian classics, so that you can learn something useful when you become an emperor in the future."
"Uncle, although Tai Shigong was castrated, he is not an eunuch." Liu Bian couldn't help but refute.
"Bian'er, come on, tell Uncle what Governor Liu told you yesterday." Empress He frowned, her words tinged with anger.
"Yes." Liu Bian was still quite pressured by his mother, turned around and said to He Jin, "Uncle Huang called me and Brother Xie yesterday, and said twelve words."
He Jin frowned slightly when he heard Liu Bian's words, and rubbed his chin with his fingers, obviously thinking.
He Jin looked at his younger sister: "It just so happens that Huangfu Yizhen has returned from victory, and I want to see him both emotionally and rationally. When the time comes, ask him to bring Liu Ye to the mansion together, so I can try a little."
Empress He nodded: "Well, you can handle everything yourself."
He Jin stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around.
"Sister, find more Confucian classics for Bian'er. Reading books is a good thing, but you also need to read some good books."
After all, He Jin swayed out of the Phoenix Palace with his fat figure.
"Oh? The general wants to invite someone to a banquet?" Liu Ye asked in surprise.
Huangfusong nodded, and laughed: "General Prime Minister Tianxia Military, Yuqing, you have won such a big victory in Liangzhou, the general will invite you to the banquet out of emotion and reason."
Liu Ye smiled slightly: "Huangfu has done a lot of hard work in chariot riding, and he is just a pawn."
Huangfusong shook his head, laughed loudly and said, "If you were a pawn, Zhang Wen would probably be a cook."
The two laughed together and left Huangfusong's mansion. Liu Ye and Huangfusong took the same carriage and headed towards the General's mansion.
He Jin's mansion is very gorgeous, after all, he is the head of officials in the court, and he is also the brother-in-law of the current emperor, so of course it can't be too shabby.
"General Huangfusong, Governor of Liangzhou, and Liu Ye, the governor of Liangzhou, have arrived."
Liu Ye jumped out of the carriage first, then stretched out his arms, and gently helped Huangfusong jump out of the carriage. After all, Huangfusong is not young and over fifty years old. Although he has been through battles for a long time, he is indeed a bit old. After all, not everyone is like him. Huang Zhong is also old and strong, and he can still wear armor and ride a horse when he is nearly 70 years old.
Liu Ye stepped back half a step behind Huangfusong. As soon as the two entered the mansion, He Jin walked out immediately.
"Hahaha, Old General Huangfu fought this battle beautifully. The Han bandits have caused disasters in the Northwest for several years, and an army of 100,000 swept across the prefectures and counties, but they were defeated by Old General Huangfu."
He Jin, who was not in court, was wearing a gorgeous silk robe, and he had the temperament of a nouveau riche when he spoke, and then looked at Liu Ye.
"This is Governor Liu, right? Governor Liu is able to deal with 100,000 rebels at such a young age, he is worthy of being a descendant of the great ancestor."
Liu Ye lowered his head slightly: "The general praised you absurdly, Ye is just doing his duty for the court."
Liu Ye's attitude was humble and polite, but He Jin seemed quite enthusiastic towards him, and stepped forward to hold Liu Ye's hand directly.
"Yuqing is a rising star in pacifying Liangzhou. It just so happens that there are several young talents in the general's shogunate. Someone recommended one or two for Yuqing."
He Jin took Liu Ye's hand and came to a person, only to see that this person was about 30 years old, and he was in the prime of life, with a heroic face and vigorous vigor.
"This is Yuan Shu, the second son of Situ Yuanfeng, after the famous Yuan family in Runan.
It turned out that this person was Yuan Shu who proclaimed himself emperor.
Liu Ye looked him up and down, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Ye, whose name is Yuqing, has long heard that the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family in Runan are well-known all over the world. I am overjoyed to see brother Gonglu today."
Yuan Shu raised his head slightly: "I've seen Governor Liu, who pacified Liangzhou. He must have extraordinary martial arts skills in battle. If there is a chance, we can compete with each other."
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "The fighting skills are small, I think Brother Gong's martial arts is better than Liu's."
He Jin smiled and said: "Everyone is the pillar of the imperial court, why bother to fight in the nest? Haha, Yuqing, you don't know something. Gong Gong was a ranger in the early years, and there are many capable people under his command. Now he is a general of Huben Zhonglang and he does not change his habit of being a ranger. .”
In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Yucao was respected and imperial power was respected, so Yuan Shu, who proclaimed himself emperor, was naturally hacked out of the sky, but he did not expect Yuan Shu to have such experience. No wonder Liu Bei called Yuan Shu a hero when he was talking about heroes when he was cooking wine with green plums. At the end of the Han Dynasty, who could become one of the princes, which one is an ordinary person?
He Jin said to Liu Ye again: "This is one of the eight captains of the West Garden personally appointed by His Majesty, Lieutenant Yuan Shao of the Chinese Army, whose name is Benchu."
Liu Ye looked up, only to see that the man in front of him was imposing, and his face was three points similar to Yuan Shu's, but his affinity was much closer than the vigor of Yuan Shu.
"Presumably Yuqing also noticed that he was originally Gong Gong's elder brother, and he was also the descendant of the Yuan family."
"snort!"
Hearing He Jin's words, Yuan Shu snorted, but Yuan Shao didn't seem to hear it, and instead took the initiative to hold Liu Ye's hands.
"I have heard of Yuqing's name a long time ago. I wish I could lift the three-foot sword and fight side by side with Yuqing. When I see you today, I will get my life's wish."
It has to be said that Yuan Shao's bearing is indeed extraordinary, far stronger than that of his younger brother Yuan Shu, no wonder even Cao Cao has quite a headache.
He Jin continued: "This is"
"Brother Meng De!"
"Yuqing!"
The two laughed and clasped their hands together.
