Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 186: Forgiveness

After the New Year's Eve, it was time to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Chang'an City was quite lively these days. The killings not long ago did not seem to have affected the prosperity of Chang'an City. With the start of the sacrifice, Chang'an City became even more lively.

According to the rules, after the New Year's Eve, the guards from all over the country will come to Chang'an to report military affairs to Lu Bu, and at the same time make some adjustments to their respective defense areas.

Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others are still in charge of relocating people and cannot return for the time being, so the generals Niu Fu and Duan Yan who came to Lv Bu's side.

Lu Bu had already set a date. Duan Yan was ready to leave early in the morning. From Huayin to Chang'an, it would take a few days to get there if he was not in a hurry. He had to start early.

"General, Young Master Yang is out to see you." The steward came in and bowed to Duan Yan.

"Why is he here again? Ask him to come in." Duan Wei had a headache. The young master of the Yang family is the son of Yang Biao. Due to the reputation of the Hongnong Yang family, Duan Yan is not easy to see. Why did he come here? Duan Yan is very clear, but it is precisely because he is clear that he is in a dilemma.

"Here!" The steward agreed, bowed to leave, and brought a young man in after a while.

"Xiu met the general!" Yang Xiu saluted Duan Yan when he saw him.

"Master Dezu..." Duan Yan looked at Yang Xiu, and said helplessly, "I really can't help you with your father's matter."

In the turmoil in Chang'an, the three princes and nine ministers were all imprisoned, including Yang Biao. Yang Xiu naturally wanted to save Yang Biao, but Duan Wei knew his own family affairs, and he had no way to save others anyway. It's none of your business.

Although the Yang family had helped him back then, so that he could gain a foothold in Hongnong and have enough food and grass, but now times have changed, it is no longer as tight as Dong Zhuo’s time, and they still have enough food and grass without the Yang family. Because of bad feelings, he directly kicked him out, but it was impossible for him to touch Lu Bu's eyebrows for the sake of the Yang family.

In this life, Duan Yan was satisfied with being a general and having no worries about food and clothing. He really didn't want to make trouble anymore, so when Yang Xiu came in, Duan Yan was straight to the point. He could help with small favors, but he couldn't help them.

"General, I have no such intentions, but I just hope that the general can introduce Marquis Wen to me, I wonder if it is possible?" Yang Xiu hurriedly saluted.

"This..." Duan Yan hesitated.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't have any psychological burden to refuse, but the Yang family treated him somewhat favorably, and it would be unreasonable to refuse to accept just a recommendation.

"Forget it." After hesitating for a while, Duan Yan still decided to agree to him. If it does, it will be regarded as repaying the favor of the Yang family. His big family is destined not to live too happily.

He stretched out his hand to help Yang Xiu and said: "Dezu, it's not that I don't want to help, but my lordship and I don't have a deep friendship, so I can't help you too much, but I'm going to Chang'an to pay a visit to the lord, if Dezu is willing , and set off with me, I will introduce you to the lord, but whether the lord will see you or not, I really can't guarantee it!"

"The general's willingness to recommend is already a great favor, Xiu must not dare to look forward to it!" Yang Xiu bowed.

"Then please go and prepare. After an hour, how about we meet at Ximen?" Duan Yan looked at Yang Xiu and said with a smile.

Yang Xiu nodded, and after thanking him again, he bowed and left.

"Patriarch, will this move make Marquis Wen unhappy?" After the steward sent Yang Xiu away, he returned to Duan Yan and asked worriedly.

"This matter... the lord has returned to the court for several days, but he has not moved. I don't think he really wants to kill him. This time, I will go to the lord to find out what the lord says. If he has the intention, he will introduce Yang Xiu to the lord. If the lord has no such intentions, then tell Yang Xiu that the lord has disappeared." Duan Yan said with a smile, he really didn't want to mess with Lu Bu.

Hearing this, the steward said with admiration: "The Patriarch is brilliant."

"Hurry up and get ready, prepare the gift I prepared for the lord." Duan Yan waved his hand.

"Here!"

In fact, when Lu Bu was still in the court, Yang Xiu was not only looking for Duan Yan, the Yang family was also the family of the fourth generation and three princes, so they had acquaintances all over the world. Some people of sufficient weight have escaped because they did not participate.

Chang'an, Lu Mansion.

"My lord, Duke Bo Jie is here to visit." He was teasing Bai Li with his daughter when he saw a guard come in and clasped his fists at Lu Bu.

Cai Yong is a master in the literary world, and he devotes himself to compiling Han history on weekdays. Especially after experiencing the incident of Wang Yun, he seldom participates in court disputes. He only wants to take his daughter back to his hometown after compiling Han history. Running here is obviously not just to meet Lu Bu.

"Please come in." Lu Bu got up and said.

Although many courtiers were killed, there are still many courtiers who have no direct evidence or have too much influence who have not been killed, and are now locked in prison.

After a while, Cai Yong came in led by his personal guards.

"The old man has met Marquis Wen." Cai Yong nodded slightly at Lu Bu when he saw Lu Bu.

"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Bo Jie, have you ever had a meal?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"I've used it, thank you Marquis Wen for your concern." Cai Yong smiled, maybe his position was different, but Lu Bu treated him very kindly, he didn't restrict his freedom, as long as he didn't break the law, he could do whatever he wanted, even if he wanted to leave , Lu Bu didn't mean to stop him.

This is naturally a good thing, but from another perspective, it can also be said that Lu Bu does not value Cai Yong.

Cai Yong also felt this to some extent. Lu Bu respected him, but he seldom discussed state affairs with Cai Yong like Dong Zhuo did in the past, and talked about the way of governing the country.

Of course, in addition to bloodthirsty, Lv Bu's governance methods are more than one level higher than Dong Zhuo's. This has to be admitted. Before the chaos in Guanzhong, Lv Bu stabilized after a few months in charge, which is a testament to his skill.

"I've met Cai Gong~" Lu Lingqi looked at Cai Yong curiously, and when she saw that Cai Yong had spotted her, she bowed obediently.

"Lingqi, go back." Lu Bu waved at Lu Lingqi. Although he was not too aggressive, considering Lu Bu's usual attitude towards his daughter, it was already a bit harsh.

Xiao Lingqi shrank back a little aggrieved, and was taken away by the chasing maid.

"I'm not very polite, please forgive me." Lu Bu smiled at Cai Yong.

"It's okay." Cai Yong sighed and said, "This year is not considered long, but it seems like a long time."

"I have experienced many things, so I will feel that the time is long. If it is an ordinary day, it is also time flies." Lu Bu nodded. This year, first Dong Zhuo was killed, and then Lu Bu turned the armies to unite Xiliang The army counterattacked Chang'an.

There were also floods in the middle. After Lu Bu took over the imperial court, he continued to provide disaster relief non-stop. Not long after, Yuan Shu jumped out to make trouble again. Lu Bu went to Nanyang and then went to Chang'an to cause chaos.

The occurrence of any of these events is enough to make people remember, not to mention that these events happened in the same year. Apart from the ups and downs, it can't help but make people feel that this year is much longer than previous years.

"Marquis Wen is in his prime, but I don't know why, many words seem to have gone through vicissitudes, which is quite thought-provoking." Cai Yong and Lu Bu sat down separately, took the tea soup served by the maid, looked at Lu Bu and smiled.

"Perhaps, although Bu's life is short, he has experienced many things." Lu Bu looked at the tea soup in the bowl and said with some emotion.

The two were chatting one after another, Cai Yong was well educated and well-informed, and Lu Bu had a wealth of experience that ordinary people could hardly imagine. The two chatted, as if they were really two old men reminiscing about the past and the present. Maybe he didn't feel anything, but Dian Wei, who came in from outside the door to listen to Gao Shi's speech, felt an indescribable strangeness the moment he entered the door.

"Master?" Dian Wei looked at Lu Bu uncertainly. If Lu Bu hadn't been strong and energetic, he would have thought he had seen the old version of the Lord.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu turned to look at Dian Wei and asked.

"That..." Dian Wei didn't know what to say for a while, and he had an idea: "Just now Duan Yan sent someone to report, and he will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow."

"It's not too late to talk about such things when he arrives in Chang'an. What's the use of talking about it now?" Lu Bu glared at Dian Wei. Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun didn't enjoy the treatment that Lu Bu didn't think Duan Yan could enjoy.

"Oh." Dian Wei nodded and said, "Then I will retire."

"Although Dian Wei is a bit reckless, he has a good heart!" Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong and smiled.

"The old man sees that Marquis Wen is not a bloodthirsty person, and even the folks are known as Marquis Wen for benevolence, but they don't know why Marquis Wen..." Cai Yong nodded, and then turned the topic to the serious business, which is why Cai Yong came here the goal of.

"What Ruo Bojie said was about the people who were killed in the Chang'an rebellion..." Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong and said, "Open rebellion, such a crime is a capital crime, what's wrong?"

"But killing too much is a violation of benevolence and forgiveness. Besides, the culprit is to be investigated for this matter. Why kill even the local rich?" Cai Yong frowned.

"It is precisely because of the theory of benevolence and forgiveness that some people are unscrupulous and think that the court can be expected, but in fact, the court cannot be bullied and should not be deceived. I do not deny benevolence and forgiveness, but before benevolence and forgiveness, there must be prestige first. Ren without any edges and rules is cowardly and will only be bullied by others, does Mr. Bo Jie think so?"

In fact, there is no need to answer, just look at the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is stable now, and the local wealthy families and aristocratic families do not dare to follow the court's laws and decrees as they did in the past. You know that Lu Bu's killing this time is very effective. At least those local wealthy families dare not blindly judge themselves. Regardless of the imperial decree to cater to the family.

And the aristocratic family... After this battle, those who survived by chance chose to go dormant one after another. No one dared to question Lu Bu's decision or make any small moves behind the scenes.

I don’t know if I will do it in the future, but I definitely don’t dare to do it now.

Cai Yong is not pedantic and just thinks that benevolence and righteousness are invincible, but this time Lv Bu used Nanyang to fight, and the wealthy families in Jingzhao area were almost uprooted by Lv Bu. Still dissatisfied...
