Chapter 34 Li Jue returns to the dynasty
Due to frequent wars, Chang'an City has become much deserted for more than this month. Now that the war has receded, Chang'an City has gradually recovered to a little prosperity.
If it were compared to Dong Zhuo before entering Chang'an, it would be impossible, but the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and it was the capital after all. Before Li Jue and Guo Si started to poison Sanfu without any choice, after being burned by Luoyang, Chang'an City was still one of the best cities today, regardless of population or business.
But I don’t know how long this prosperity can last?
Sitting in a restaurant next to Zhuque Street, Jia Xu was thinking quietly, putting a pot of sake and a plate of broad beans in front of him, silently thinking about what had happened recently.
Li Jue and Guo Si are not a person who accomplishes great things. They know their ability but dare not reuse them. Jia Xu is also happy to be idle. If it weren't for Li Jue, Guo Si would be suspicious, even if the Shangshu doesn't want it now, these two are not the masters of success. Now they are standing at the forefront of the storm, not knowing to restrain themselves or make progress. They act as a place like Guanzhong, but they only know how to plunder the people, which makes people feel disappointed. I should try my best to separate some relationship with them so as not to be implicated by them in the future.
However, recent events have made Jia Xu, who has been doing nothing, have become interested.
Xu Huang!
This is a strange name. Judging from the previous battles, this person has the ability and is not low. Jia Xu is also a person who has experienced the ups and downs of officialdom. He has rich experience and has seen countless famous generals. The most powerful ones in the world are Lu Bu who has already voted for Yuan Shu. Xu Huang is a little worse than Lu Bu, whether brave or commanded by Lu Bu. However, in addition to Lu Bu, there are not many famous generals in the world who can beat this person. More importantly, judging from this method, this person may not be as good as Lu Bu, but he is defeated by his calmness and moderation and a general. In this regard, it may not be as good as Lu Bu, but it is not easy for Lu Bu to defeat him if he fights.
After all, Jia Xu was not a general and had never thought about charging forward. He didn't care much about Xu Huang's ability. It had nothing to do with him anyway, but what really made Jia Xu interested was behind this.
From the time Xu Huang made his debut to the current appointment of General Anton, it took only more than a month. Although it seemed that Guo Si was one hand, Jia Xu knew Guo Si's character very well and should not have done such a thing. Behind this, there seemed to be another hand pushing it secretly.
Yang Biao, Sima Fang? Or Ding Chong?
After thinking about it, Jia Xu shook his head. These people have the ability, but this method is not like their own way. Moreover, their performance in this matter was expected by Jia Xu. The emperor moved their interests. In this matter, they did not help the emperor suppress Xu Huang, but they did not support him. It was obvious that the two had nothing to do. In fact, it was a game between the emperor and Guo Si. It was difficult for others to intervene, but...
Jia Xu suddenly felt a sudden change in his heart and thought of an idea. In this matter, everyone ignored a character, which was very dazzling, but also the easiest to be ignored. If all this came from the work of an emperor, it would be interesting!
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although it felt a little incredible, if it was true, then this person would be amazing. It is not certain who will be in Chang'an in the end.
Find an opportunity and gradually this person!
Although he saw some clues, Jia Xu was not ready to point them out. Li Jue and Guo Si were not the leader of success. If this little emperor really had this ability, he would be happy to see it. However, thinking about the fact that the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an was also a one-handed move by himself. Although it was for self-protection, it did shake the last bit of luck in the Han Dynasty. If the emperor held grudges, he would have made plans early.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a cold light and made up his mind to find an opportunity to meet Liu Xie. It just so happened that now General Zhang Xiu is in charge of the palace guards, and it is not difficult for him to enter the palace himself, but he just needs to find a suitable reason.
Well, there is no hurry to do this, I have to find a good reason first.
Jia Xu closed his eyes, stretched his waist lazily, and settled the matter in his heart. Just as he was about to check out and leave, a commotion suddenly came from Zhuque Street below. Jia Xu looked down and saw many opened shops closing in a hurry. The pedestrians also scattered around. From a distance, they heard a sound of horse hooves.
As soon as you see this scene, Jia Xu knew that it was the Xiliang army that had entered the city.
Shaking his head, if this continues, Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong will be ruined. Let's see how that Majesty does it. If Li Jue and others have finished harming this Guanzhong, then this Majesty will have no hope. It would be better to make plans earlier.
"Shopkeeper, what happened?" Li Jue called the storekeeper and asked.
"Return to Mr. Jia, General Li has returned to the court." Jia Xu is a regular visitor of this inn. It is precisely because of this inn that this inn was not harmed by the Xiliang army with Jia Xu's care. Naturally, he did not dare to hide anything from Jia Xu's questions and said what he knew.
However, Li Jue was robbing in Yingchuan. He heard someone besieging Chang'an and hurriedly returned. But halfway through, the siege of Chang'an had been cracked, so Li Jue was not in a hurry to come back. He lingered in Yingchuan for a few days before returning with a full load.
Li Jue is back!
Jia Xu shook his head helplessly. It seemed that his leisure time was over. After paying the bill with the shopkeeper, Jia Xu got up and walked towards Li Jue's general's mansion. He was nominally Li Jue's aide. Now that Li Jue returns to the court, even if he doesn't want to, he has to show off his appearance. As for self-proclaimed aloofness, when Li Jue comes to see him, Jia Xu's personality will not do such a thing. It's okay once or twice. After a long time, with Li Jue's violent temper, even if he doesn't kill himself, he will not have his own good fruits. The situation is just the situation. Why bother?
After leaving the restaurant, he met Li Jue's frame directly. Everyone around Li Jue recognized Jia Xu, but he did not stop him. He allowed Jia Xu to come to Li Jue to pay a visit.
"Haha, I don't want Wenhe to be here too. I'll take a walk and go back to my house. This time I went to Yingchuan, but I gained a lot. In a few days, Wenhe is coming to have a drink of my wedding." Li Jue couldn't help feeling proud when he saw Jia Xu. He didn't know that his nephew Li Li had died on the battlefield and he was intimate and polite to Jia Xu.
"Xu congratulates the general first." Jia Xu smiled slightly, and didn't care. After saying goodbye, he followed Li Jue's general's mansion.
Originally, Jia Xu was too lazy to care about which woman Li Jue wanted to take, and most of them had robbed a wealthy woman. Li Jue did a lot of things like this, but when he passed by the sedan chair behind Li Jue, a breeze blew by and lifted the curtain, Jia Xu glanced inadvertently.
He is indeed a beauty with picturesque eyebrows and a graceful temperament with a bit of sacredness and nobility. He is not very old, but with a faint sadness. No wonder Li Jue was moved and snatched it.
"Huh?" Jia Xu paused, then returned to normal, but his eyes narrowed slightly and muttered in his heart: "How could she be here?"
Following the team back to the general's mansion, Li Jue held a big banquet, but Jia Xu was not thinking about the gains and losses of this matter. If Li Jue really married her, the dignity of the Han Dynasty would be really gone.
This is also an opportunity. I will find an opportunity to meet the emperor tomorrow and tell him about the matter. Let me see how he deals with it?
Jia Xu was thinking about how to deal with it. On the other hand, Li Jue was sharing the spoils with his subordinates, but he saw a young man rushing in from outside the door. In Li Jue's astonished gaze, he knelt down to the ground and said shrillly: "Uncle, you want to avenge my brother!"
Li Jue was in a state of excitement, but was suddenly interrupted by this sound. He was unhappy and looked down, but it was his nephew Li Xian, frowned slightly, and waved: "Get up, what happened?"
"Back to my uncle, my brother Li Li was killed by Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others!" Li Xian cried.
"What!?" Li Jue slapped the table, stood up in a panic, shouted sternly, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
Li Li and Li Xian, although they are not his parent-child, Li Jue still attaches great importance to the family. These two nephews regarded them as sons. At this moment, they suddenly heard the bad news about Li Li and were immediately furious.
Li Xian quickly said the cause and effect of the matter, saying that Fan Chou assassinated Li Li, allowing him to go deeper alone and be ambushed. For a moment, Li Jie was trembling all over.
