After Sima Yan returned to his mansion, he found his friends.
Sima Yan has been very distressed recently. Many of his acquaintances have disappeared without trace. The rest of his acquaintances do not dare to come out to play with him anymore.
At this moment, he found a few friends he trusted more.
These people were sitting on their knees in front of Sima Yan, with smiles on their faces, each looking more flattering than the last.
To be honest, Sima Anshi has very low requirements for friends. As long as he looks like a human being, he can get his love.
There are really not many people who can be disgusted by him, and Ruan Xian is one of them. After all, this brother drank with the pigs, had an affair with the maid of his aunt's family during his mother's funeral, and when his aunt got married, the maid left together, and he also snatched her away. The guest's horse goes after him.
I was drunk when I finally met the saint, and it seemed like these things were not something that humans could do.
Sima Yan was a little dissatisfied with him.
This is Sima Anshi's standard. As long as it doesn't reach the point of drinking in the same basin with a group of pigs, he can accept it.
At this moment, Sima Yan looked at the people in front of him very proudly and said: "Everyone, your Majesty has entrusted me with a major task. This is a good opportunity to make a contribution. I specially ask you to come and help."
Hearing these words, many of Sima Yan's friends could not hide their excitement.
During these days, they really felt what the emperor's grace was. Chen Qian's exhaustive investigation caused a large number of people to lose their jobs. Fortunately, at least they did not lose their heads.
Immediately afterwards, the entire atmosphere in Luoyang became a little different from the past. They used to be able to do whatever they wanted, but now, many people are watching them. If they do something wrong, someone will come to their door immediately.
Cao Mao is different from the Sima family.
The Sima family performs the duties of the emperor as powerful ministers. Many ministers are their allies and need to be appeased and win over. At least if they don't make too much trouble, the Sima family will leave some face for them.
But Cao Mao doesn't need to be like this. He is exercising his duties as an emperor. He doesn't care whether you are a big family or not. He is worried that there is no reason to mess with you. You have already been sent to his door. How can I spare you? !
These high-ranking disciples were extremely unlucky. When they heard that Sima Yan had received the emperor's order and could lead them to perform meritorious deeds, their eyes lit up.
It's good to make meritorious service. If you can make a great contribution and leave a good impression in front of the emperor, you won't have to be so careful in your life in the future, right?
"Okay, we are worried that we have no chance to repay His Majesty with meritorious service! Please tell me!"
Several people were immediately eager to try.
Sima Yan then said: "This matter is simply a great achievement from heaven. We only need to go to Taicang, check the food reserves, and then inform His Majesty!"
Sima Yan said happily, but at this moment, these friends in front of him suddenly did not dare to laugh anymore.
They froze, and their eyes suddenly became frightened.
Is this meritorious service? !
If this thing were to be thoroughly investigated, how many wealthy families would have to be ruined?
After the collapse of moral governance, aristocratic families have long since begun to behave differently. The wealthy families in the Han Dynasty were afraid of moral deficiencies and did not dare to engage in corruption. But how could the ministers care about this at this time?
They all knew it very well, and even after arriving at Sima Yan, they were almost open to the public. Even if they came openly, they were not afraid of what others would say.
No one will reprimand immoral behavior anymore, but will only laugh at those wealthy families who are not wealthy. The ministers are more luxurious than the other, their lives are quite degrading, and all the money in the world is in their pockets.
At that time, Si Nong, also known as the "Minister of Finance", dared to show off his wealth to the emperor in person. What kind of scene was that?
After learning this, everyone's expressions immediately changed.
"I'm afraid I don't have enough talent to accomplish this for you."
"I still have some things at home"
Soon, these people declined Sima Yan politely, and quickly found reasons to leave Sima Mansion in a hurry.
This made Sima Yan very confused. Why not take such a good opportunity?
Unwilling to give up, he contacted several other people, and the results were the same.
Sima Yan had no choice but to contact a group of clan confidants, and led a group of people named Sima to set off towards Taicang.
Sima Yan's enthusiasm was quickly sprinkled with cold water.
Sima Yan never thought that such a thing would become so complicated!
All the officials in the Sinong Mansion seemed to be against themselves, from top to bottom. As soon as they arrived in Taicang, they said they couldn't enter without the emperor's edict.
When Sima Yan got the edict, they said that Taicang was exterminating rats and it would take a few days.
Sima Yan, who was so stupid, actually believed it. After waiting for a few days, he went again. This time, he said that the key was in the hands of Taicang Ling, and that this person had returned home for something.
I went there again and said that the officials had been summoned to the house to discuss important matters.
Someone else took out specific documents and asked Sima Yan to take this back for delivery.
Sima Yan was unwilling to deal with it, and in the end Sima Yan was guarding the gate of Taicang. When he finally got in, the officials started to play various tricks again, either leading him around in circles, or telling him to store them in different places. Place.
Sima Yan has been busy like this for nearly half a month without any gains. He has actually lost a lot of weight.
Sima Yan no longer felt as comfortable as before, his eyes were red, and he didn't believe it. The emperor entrusted such a simple matter to him, couldn't he still do it well? !

At this moment, in He Mansion, He Shao sent Sima Yan away and then walked into the inner room.
He Zeng was sitting in the inner room, calmly sipping tea.
Since that battle, He Zeng began to stay in his mansion. Cao Mao seemed to have completely forgotten about him. Although he did not say it explicitly, his official position as General of the Northern Expedition was probably gone.
Yang Hu replaced Chen Ben, and Chen Ben directly entered Zhongshu.
Never had anything to do all day long.
But he didn't look anxious at all, and his eyes were full of contentment.
After his son came in, he asked, "Why is Sima Yan looking for you?"
He Shao said helplessly: "For the sake of Taicang, you asked me to come over and help."
"Then what did you say?"
"Of course I refuse. How can I easily participate in such a thing?"
He Zeng had some disdain on his face. In fact, this was a good opportunity. Sima Yan took the lead in doing this, and with the emperor behind him, no one dared to harm him. At most, they would create some obstacles for him.
Who can stand by Sima Yan at this time and go all out? No matter whether things are successful or not, it is because Jane is in the emperor's heart. Compared with the emperor who has real power, what is the dissatisfaction of the ministers? Anyway, they are not the main force, they are just hanging around with Sima Yan for a few days.
This stupid son of my own.
For some reason, He Zeng didn't remind his son and just continued to drink tea.
He Shao's relationship with his father is now a bit delicate, mainly due to his letters.
In fact, that was not what He Shao wrote at all.
But no matter how he explained, his father just didn't believe it and insisted that he had written a letter to summon his father back.
You don’t even know these things!
Of course He Zeng knew in his heart who wrote the letter. Zhong Hui sent someone to give it to him. Coincidentally, Zhong Hui had ancestral calligraphy skills and was very good at copying other people's handwriting. Who did you think wrote the letter? of?
Of course, it must be written only by my son! !
He Zeng glanced at his troubled son and finally spoke, "His Majesty asked you to be his minister before, why did you refuse?"
"General Wei was still there at that time"
"What does your Majesty's appointment have to do with General Wei?"
"Didn't I teach you how to be loyal to the emperor?"
He Shao was quite speechless. You are obviously Sima Zhao's confidant, why do you want to criticize me?
He Zeng ordered: "If you don't want to live in this house until you grow old, then go catch up with Sima Yan now and follow him to do something."
He Shao instinctively wanted to object. After pondering for a moment, he accepted the order and left the place immediately.
He Zeng shook his head and continued to eat tea.
Shortly after his son left, a servant knocked on the door and said that a distinguished guest came to see him.
Hearing these words, He Zeng finally lost his composure. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly asked people to clean up the inner room, and then went to invite the distinguished guests.
After seeing the person coming, He Zeng's eyes became bright.
The person who came was Feng Fu, Feng Zhen's brother.
"He Gong!"
Feng Fuxing met in the morning. Although Feng Fu was older than Feng Zhen, he was thin and sickly, and he looked more immature.
He Zeng hurriedly helped him up and said with emotion: "After I returned to the temple, you were the first one to come to see me. I was even happy."
The two people immediately began to greet each other. After chatting for a long time, Feng Fu finally said: "He Gong, something big happened here with my brother, which affected the entire clan. My father used to be friends with you, and I regard you as my elder. Treated like that, I want to seek help from you today.”
He Zeng immediately frowned, "What happened to your brother?"
"My brother was framed and is now being imprisoned. Chen Qian was beaten into a trap and wanted to bring death to my family!"
"Ji Kang didn't know the facts, so he posted an article to humiliate my family!"
"Mr. He, I really don't know how to solve it, so I came here to ask for advice!"
He Zeng immediately raised his head and said seriously: "Don't worry, your father was very friendly with me in the past. Today you encounter such a thing, I have to help you, but you have probably seen my current situation, I’m afraid we can’t make it happen just by the two of us.”
"Let's do this, you will gather your acquaintances, and I will gather mine, and we will find a way together. We must not let Zhongliang fall into the hands of people like Chen Qianji Kang!"
Seeing He Zeng's appearance, Feng Fu burst into tears of gratitude.
What a good person. At this moment, he is the only one who is willing to help.
He Zeng also looked at the other party with emotion.
What a good person. He knew that he had no chance to make meritorious deeds and came here specifically to find him. Now, didn’t he have a certificate of submission to His Majesty?
