Chapter 355 Anecdotes about the Western Regions (End)
As the saying goes: Silence is golden!

Dong Bie knows his own affairs, and he knows very well how much he has.

Huang Shao's body gradually improved, which was a miracle that even Ma Zhen didn't expect.Although I still often feel abdominal pain, and when it hurts, it's like piercing through the intestines, but I'm still alive.

reason?

Ma really couldn't tell.

Perhaps it was the matter of the three studies that made Huang Shao worry.

But in good times, Huang Shao would drag Ma Qiao and Dong Pi to discuss the details of the three studies.

How to compile the textbooks, to what extent the textbooks have been revised... and other issues such as these make Dong Bi the first and the second big.Most of the time, he is silent.It's not because he is reserved, but because he really doesn't know the answer.

In the last life, the old people have taught: When you don't know what to say, keep silent.

That's what Dong Bi did!

What's interesting is that even if he keeps silent, often a look or a movement can give Huang Shao Ma Qiao a lot of inspiration.This made Ma Qiao feel even more: My lord is really acting like a master, so unpredictable!
Dong Chu, I can't laugh or cry...

After Huang Shao's condition improved, he set off with Dong Bi.

Ma Qiao continued to stay in Dichi, and besides taking care of farming affairs, he also took on an important task.That is to systematically summarize the results of their discussions as soon as possible, and in the form of official documents, the castle guards the prefectural governor's office for discussion.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me!

Dong Bi rushed to Han'an with Huang Shao in a hurry.

This time I went to Han'an City, on the one hand, to let Huang Shao have a good rest, and on the other hand, to give a report to Liu Bian.

Of course, this is not Liu Bian's request.

On the contrary, it was Jia Xu and Li Ru's suggestion to let Dong Bi go to Han'an City.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of face.In any case, Dong Bi is still a Hanchen now, so he must take care of his consummation in face.

******
Han'an City is six feet high, and its area is not inferior to Luoyang in the slightest.

As Liu Bian's Wang Zhi, naturally he couldn't take it lightly.Although the current population of this city is less than [-], Dong Yu believes that one day, this city will become the most prosperous royal city in the Western Regions, not inferior to the big cities in Luoyang.

Not only Dong Bi believed in this point, but everyone including Liu Bian believed in it.

Han'an City was built completely according to the form of Luoyang.

Horse-faced fence, bluestone avenue.There are twelve gates in total, and the largest gate is called Shumen.The street connecting Shumen is called Jade Avenue.The reason for this name is to commemorate Dong Yu's eldest sister, Dong Yu.

Speaking of this jade avenue, there is some controversy.

When it was originally named, Yangxu wanted to name it after the main street of Chang'an, Zhuque Street, while Cai Yong wanted to use the street name of Luoyang.Anyway, one person has one idea, and the old gentlemen all want to leave their traces on this street.

While arguing endlessly, Liu Bian asked his mother for advice.

Empress Dowager He took Liu Bian's hand, "My lord, it doesn't really matter what the name of the street is... what matters is that we have to remember who laid down and built this magnificent city for us." Woolen cloth?"

Liu Bian immediately realized, "The queen mother said that she wants to use Dong Qing's name?"

Empress Dowager He shook her head and said: "No... In this way, Dong Qing will definitely refuse to say anything, and even have bad thoughts. Your Majesty, you are going to be an adult soon, and there are some things that you need to think about yourself. Let Dong Qing be grateful , you can't push him to the top of the limelight. After all, with Dong Qing here, you have the possibility to return to the Central Plains!"

Liu Bian did not realize that Empress Dowager He used "you" instead of "we".

"I remember that Dong Qing respects his sister the most, why not just use his sister's name?"

"This, the king can decide for himself."

Therefore, this street is called Jade Avenue. As for the meaning, Liu Bian is not a child, so he can naturally figure out the truth.

Outside Anmen, Dong Bi asked Huang Shao for a mansion that could accommodate a thousand people.

This was originally the house left by Liu Bian to Dong Bi, but Dong Bi felt that he was not often in Han'an City, so it was better to give it to Huang Shao.

Huang Shao was named Taichang, and he enjoyed a salary of two thousand stones.

They also bought more than a hundred slaves of the Da Yue clan to serve as Huang Shao's slaves.

In Huang Shao's heart... he was extremely grateful.

Dong Bi's own residence was arranged next to the Western Han Palace.It's just a habitual behavior. In Dong Bi's heart, Liu Bian is still the child who needs his protection.Living closer might make Liu Bian feel very happy.

After everything was dealt with, Dong Bi would stay with Liu Bian every day.

He made a big gun for Liu Bian with a white ash rod, a specialty of the Western Regions.Of course, this thing is just a trick, and it won't have much effect.But for Liu Bian, such a gift made him very happy.

It seems to have returned to the way it was in Luoyang back then.

Every day Liu Bian would take Xia Houlan to Dong Bi's house to dance swords and practice spears.

Sometimes a compliment from Dong Bi will make Liu Bian very happy.And Dong Bi would often talk to him about the customs of the Western Regions.

In the eyes of outsiders, Dong Bi and Liu Bian seemed to be the best combination.

Even Yang Xu, who had disliked Dong Bi earlier, began to smile at Dong Bi now.He even came forward and persuaded Zang Hong to work for Dong Pi.Regardless of whether Zang Hong was looking at Yang Xu's face or Liu Bian's face, anyway, he officially recognized Dong Bian's dominant position, and began to wholeheartedly share a lot of troubles for Dong Bian.

Zang Hong served as Yin of Han'an, with a rank of two thousand stones.

All in all, it seems to be very good.

only……

On this day, just as Liu Bian left, Dong Bi was about to pack up and return to the county.

It has been almost four months since I left Shu County. Outside of the Western Regions, many things have happened during these four months.

Yuan Shao launched an attack on Youzhou.

After occupying Bingzhou and Jizhou, Yuan Shao began to set his sights on Qingzhou.

Before capturing Qingzhou, he must first deal with Lu Bu in Youzhou.In Tian Feng's words: "Lu Bu, the evil tiger of the world sleeps on the side of the couch, how can the evil tiger sleep peacefully? Taking Qingzhou means breaking the face with Cao Cao officially. Therefore, if you want to take Qingzhou, you must first get You State. Youzhou is uncertain, and there is always a hidden danger in the rear of my lord."

Indeed, compared to Cao Cao, Lu Bu, who has just won Youzhou for a year, is obviously much weaker.

This time, Yuan Shao followed Tian Feng's advice and divided his troops into five groups, attacking Youzhou from Banshi, Wuruanguan and other places.

However, he rejected Tian Feng's other suggestion: welcome the Emperor Chang'an.

At the same time, Cao Cao suddenly stopped his attack on Xuzhou, and the three prefectures of Qing, Yan and Henan were mobilized extremely frequently.

Dong Bi thought to himself: I'm afraid this is a preparation for welcoming the emperor.Holding the emperor to command the princes... Yuan Shao didn't know the benefits of this, but he forgot that the majesty of the Han Dynasty was gone, and whoever won the Han Emperor would occupy the great power.Cao Cao saw that this was an opportunity, but Yuan Shao was afraid that he regarded Emperor Han as a hot potato and was unwilling to take over.

Sometimes I just think wildly: If Yuan Shao welcomes the emperor, what will happen?
Just when Dong Pi was thinking wildly, He Yi suddenly came to report: "My lord, Lu Gong is asking to see you outside the mansion!"

Lu Gong, naturally refers to Lu Zhi!

Dong Bi put away his thoughts, and quickly said: "Quickly open the door of the ceremony, and welcome me!"

"no need!"

Before the words finished, Lu Zhi had already entered the hall.

Beside him was a young man with white teeth and red lips, extremely handsome. It was Lu Zhi's son, Lu Yu.

"I heard that Xiping is going back to Shu County tomorrow, so I came to visit... Yu'er, go talk to your brother Dong Ji, I have something to discuss with the governor."

Dong Bi was taken aback!
He could tell that Lu Zhi had something very important to do.

He ordered people to take Lu Yu to find Dong Ji and Dong Jie, and asked Wang Rongyuexi to guard outside the hall, and no one else was allowed to approach.

"Teacher, what's the matter, why did you come here in person?"

Lu Zhi seemed a little embarrassed.

After pondering for a while, he raised his head and looked directly into Dong Bi's eyes: "Xiping, tell me the truth, do you have the intention of replacing the king of the Western Han Dynasty?"

This sentence, like a thunderbolt, exploded in Dong Bi's ears.

"Teacher, where did you start talking about this? When did you ever have such thoughts?"

Lu Zhi smiled, "You don't have such an idea, but it doesn't mean that others will believe that you don't have such an idea. Xiping, you conquered the Western Regions and opened up three thousand miles, which is unprecedented since the Han Dynasty. Meritorious service. But do you know that, in this way, you have become a target of public criticism. The king of the Western Han Dynasty trusts you very much, but you have to understand one thing!"

"what's up?"

"The king of the Western Han Dynasty has grown up!"

This sentence contains many meanings.

Dong Bi suddenly discovered that the cowardly Prince Bian who always hid behind him in the past had reached the point of weakness.

"Teacher, if you...have something to say, you can speak up."

Lu Zhi sighed, "As the saying goes, the master of merit is so high. The king of the Western Han Dynasty believes in you now, but you are fighting outside, but... there is a student of Confucius named Zeng Shen. Moral articles, the world is unparalleled... Later, there was a student with the same name as him. A man was arrested for a crime, but he was misunderstood and told Zengmu three times. Once, twice, Zengmu didn't believe it, but the third time..."

Dong Bi vaguely remembered the story, and his face changed slightly.

He understood what Lu Zhi meant!

Liu Bian trusted him, but he was not by Liu Bian's side all the year round, so there was no guarantee that someone would slander and slander him.

Once, twice... ten times, twenty times, no matter how clumsy the rumor is, if you hear it too much, it will inevitably be shaken.

There is no better way to know a son than a mother, even the great mother would mistakenly believe in rumors, let alone Liu Bian?
Dong Bi raised his head and said softly, "Teacher, if you have anything to say, just say it..."

Lu Zhi's heart is also extremely complicated at this moment.

He said softly: "Xiping, the entire Western Regions now only know about the Great Protector, but not the King of the Western Han Dynasty. To achieve a big event, you must know how to advance and retreat. Sometimes, you take one step back, but you take two steps forward... What should you do? You have to make a decision." decision."

Dong Bi's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Zhi, speechless for a long time.

I have to go out again. Today's two updates are over, and there will be no more updates.
