Chapter 91: Undercurrent

"Sima Ying has returned to Ye City." Sitting in the study, Liu Xuan tapped on the desk with a gloomy expression.

In the past two months, the political situation in the DPRK and China has also been chaotic. First, Zhang Fang returned to Chang'an to assist Sima Yong in defeating Liu Chen, the governor of Yongzhou, and beheaded Liu Shen in Chencang. After pacifying the Yongzhou Rebellion, Sima Yong was named Yongzhou Shepherd by Sima Yingjin. In return for being sealed many times, Sima Yong went to the imperial court and asked him to make Sima Ying the emperor's younger brother.

It should be noted that the blood of the emperor's line has been cut off, the original prince was murdered by Empress Jia, one of the two grandsons was poisoned by King Sima Lun of Zhao, and the other died of illness. The previous prince has become Sima Tan, the son of King Kang Sima Xia. Sima Xia was also born by Emperor Wu, so this new prince is also the grand-nephew of the emperor. According to the principle of no descendants, Sima Ying, who is also a half-brother of the emperor, naturally has the right to inherit the throne.

He had already made full preparations at the time of Zhengdan, and Sima Yong added fuel to the flames. How could Sima Ying give in? Immediately abolished Sima Tan, and added the title of emperor's younger brother. At the same time, he retained the position of prime minister. After arranging the important affairs in the court, this dilapidated capital was naturally not in Sima Ying's eyes, so he swaggered back to Yecheng.

This is a good thing for the civil and military officials in Luoyang City, but it is very bad for Liu Xuan. After returning to Yecheng, Sima Ying's supervision of Liu Yuan will only be stricter, and it will be even more difficult to escape from Yecheng.

"Xiangguo, are there going to be troubles this summer?" asked the confidant.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xuan said: "Sima Ying is attacking Luoyang this time and taking the position of heir, Wei Wu's heart is very clear, I am afraid that many people in the court are dissatisfied. And Sima Yong and Sima Yue are also in power, young and energetic, Ranking the third prince, it will inevitably give birth to the heart of disobedience over time. There will inevitably be chaos in the DPRK, let Yuanhai wait for the opportunity."

As long as there is chaos in Luoyang or Yecheng, Liu Yuan will be able to take the opportunity to return to Bingzhou and order the Five Divisions to revolt. Now, static braking is the way to go.

The confidant nodded clearly and said: "There was news a few days ago that Dongying Gongzheng made Liangfeng as a vassal of the general's house, and Liang Feng said that the disease would not be cured. Dongying Gong first sent an imperial doctor to send medicine to see a doctor, and then invited him to come Jinyang sees Shangsi Festival. It seems that there is an idea to reuse Liang Zixi."

"What?" Liu Xuan was taken aback, how could a guy like Sima Teng have a good impression of Liang Feng? Don't blame him for causing his own predicament in Luoyang for a few months. It's not something Sima Teng would do at all!

"Will Liang Feng go to Jinyang?" he asked.

"It is said that he will go!" The confidant replied quickly, "Jinyang has already heard that Dongying Gong is generous, and Liang Zixi is very ambitious. Many nobles are looking forward to Shangsi to see the demeanor of the two."

"I'm afraid that some of them are dissuading them." Liu Xuan said coldly, "That's fine, as long as the two broke up unhappily at the time of the marriage, or someone pressed Liang Feng on the head, the expedition would become a joke. Next, prepare, when I go to bed, I will also go to the Jinshui River for a green outing and feast!"

How could it be possible for Liang Xi's son to become famous like this? This is not the false name of the Buddha, but the real title of celebrity. Coupled with the strangeness of the first battle in Gaodu and the matter of selling porcelain for leather, Liu Xuan was really worried about letting the sick young man take the limelight again. This time, we must think of a way to let him go back!

"The team is right, isn't Yingzheng in a bad mood these days?" As he was brushing the horse, a priest came forward and asked with ear.

With a snort, Laolong complained angrily: "You just saw that he was in a bad mood? It was like this ten days ago. I don't know who provoked this evil star!"

There's a lot going on in the camp these days. First, choose a few smart soldiers to learn first aid from Dr. Jiang. This is a life-saving thing. Which team doesn't want their nurses to be smart and capable? Therefore, the soldiers sent are also selected from thousands of talents, and they are guaranteed to learn medical skills.

That's not all, after that, another selection was made in the battalion, and some people were picked out to draw the map. Ying Zheng took care of this matter, and naturally followed those people to the class. However, this is not enough. After listening to the class, he actually said something, saying that even officers above the rank must learn to count, and if they want to be promoted in the future, this should also be taken into account.

I get goosebumps when I hear it. He didn't learn Chinese for a long time. Where did he go to learn math? ! However, the thing called the nine-nine watch has already been sent to the hand, and it is not on the back! It made him feel sick to his stomach when he saw the paper during this period of time, and the wife of the family also followed suit. It was as if there was an extra overseer, and he was very aggrieved.

The days are so hard, Yingzheng still has a serious face every day, and his training is three-point strict. The time spent on the school grounds every day was less than an hour, and they were so tired that they went back to the barracks and fell asleep. Seeing that he was about to set off for Jinyang soon, he didn't mean to ease in the slightest, which made Luolong look forward to leaving earlier. Anyway, the march on the road was not so painful.

I really don't understand who offended this kid. Alas, these chicks who have never driven meat are difficult to deal with! Feeling scornful of this, Laolong urged, "Tighten my skin lately. Don't let Yingzheng see any problems. Let's get through these days first."

The people below are looking forward to leaving as soon as possible. However, for Yiyan, the later the day of going to Jinyang, the better.

These days, he was struggling a lot in his heart. To this day, Yi Yan can no longer lie to himself about his desire for the main bulletin. However, this uncontrollable desire also filled his heart with chagrin and self-blame. This is not normal behavior!

In the military camp, He Zhilong was a married woman. When these soldiers are free, they are inseparable from women in all likelihood. When everyone talks about this, their eyes are bright and they are constantly talking about meat. But he has no interest in women at all. The only one who can make him sleep and eat is the Lord alone!

But how can the lord blaspheme!

It's like wrestling with himself. The harder he struggles, the colder the expression on Yiyan's face. For fear of accidentally revealing the hateful things in my heart. However, no matter how contradictory it is, he is not happy to see the lord re-enter Jinyang. As long as he leaves the Liang Mansion, the lord will change into another appearance, aloof and unapproachable. As if reminding him of the gap between the two.

At this time, it was also the most difficult moment for Yi Yan.

Only a few days left. Looking at the sunset that was about to sink in the west, Yi Yan did not go to the main house as usual, but turned and walked towards the barracks.

"Father, do you have to go to Jinyang?" Liang Rong asked in a low voice.

"Why, Rong'er is reluctant to be a father?" Liang Feng said with a smile.

"Shangsi is very close to the Hanshi Festival. If my father goes, Rong'er will spend two festivals alone at home." Liang Rong's little face was a little reluctant.

Similar to the Shangsi Festival, the Cold Food Festival is also an important festival in early spring. It starts on the 105th day after the winter solstice and eats cold food without raising fire for three consecutive days. It is said to commemorate the custom of Jie Zitui who lived in seclusion in the mountains and was willing to be burned to death without being rewarded by Chong'er.

Liang Feng was not very enthusiastic about this festival. It was just early spring, and the temperature had not returned to three days in a row. It was too harsh for the elderly and children.

But at this time, it is obviously not the time to discuss the rationality of the Cold Food Festival. Liang Feng touched Liang Rong's little head: "Wang Zhongzheng invites you, my father must go. But after I come back, I can accompany Rong'er to go out for a walk. Would you like to fly a kite together?"

There are wooden workshops and paper workshops in Fuzhong, so it is easy to make kites. Liang Feng ordered someone to make it early and gave it to Liang Rong to play with. The little guy has a good talent, he quickly mastered the skills of kite flying, and he has a great time playing every time. It's just that it's spring, and the house is busy, so Liang Feng doesn't have much time to play with him.

Unexpectedly, when Liang Rong heard this, he did not show a happy expression, but blinked his big black eyes: "Then my father won't be serving in the general's mansion?"

Unexpectedly, the foreshadowing was buried here, and Liang Feng laughed dumbly: "Are you afraid to stay in Jinyang as a father?"

Liang Rong bit his lip: "Rong'er heard that Duke Dongying wants to conquer my father..."

The Liang Mansion is so big that it can't hide things at all, not to mention Chao Yu, a conscientious wet nurse. As long as Liang Rong wants to ask, he will be able to ask clearly. In his heart, Duke Dongying was already a great official. If he went to Jinyang this time and was left in the general's mansion, what would he do

Unexpectedly, the little guy has a lot of thoughts. Liang Feng smiled and said, "Even if you are an emperor, you can't force someone to be an official. Just like Jie Zitui commemorating the Hanshi Festival, isn't it that you shouldn't be called up?"

Liang Rong nodded in understanding but not understanding: "Then will my father respond to the emperor's conquest in the future? Like the ancestors, go to Luoyang to be an official?"

"Neither." Luoyang's emperor is a puppet, in the hands of others. Going to Luoyang was even more dangerous than working for Sima Teng. How could Liang Feng pass easily.

"Father, don't you want to be an official?" Seeing Liang Feng's decisive answer, Liang Rong was a little tangled again. After all, he is also a son of an aristocratic family, and he knows the importance of being an official. If the Liang Mansion never has a clear-cut official, I am afraid it will not last long.

Seeing the little guy's worries, Liang Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Being an official also depends on where you are and whose subordinate you are."

"Like the ancestors of Wei Wu?" Liang Rong asked immediately.

"It's like the ancestors of Wei Wu." Liang Xi was also considered to be at the end of Wei, and he took the right ship of Cao Cao. But in today's world, is there still a capable person like Cao Cao? Can he be like the scholar-officials of this era, committing himself to a wise lord? Trust each other wholeheartedly and assist each other

Liang Feng didn't think he could become Liang Xi, and he was not very interested in those official positions that could not control real power. However, with the advent of troubled times, he still has to find a way to control more areas and gain strategic depth for the Liang Mansion. Sima Teng is not worthy of refuge, and Luoyang is not a good place. How can we expand our sphere of influence? Just a high capital is obviously far from enough.

Alas, let's build a reputation step by step. These uncontrollable things can only come slowly.

After comforting the little guy and sending him away, Liang Feng said to Lv Zhu, "Go on, this time to Jinyang, and take a carriage instead."

Lang Jun doesn't like ox carts, this green bamboo naturally knows, nodded, and she asked again, "What color of clothes do you want to prepare?"

Lang Jun is used to wearing dark colors, but Shangsi is the late Spring Festival, so it is better to wear red and green. Wouldn't it look weird with dark clothes

Liang Feng could naturally think of this episode, and the corners of his lips twitched: "I wore black before, but this time I will wear white. Bring some light and elegant clothes, and wide robes are the best."

He went to see what kind of tricks were tossed by the Jinshui River.
