It has been several days since Gongsun Zhu came back from Qingzhou. In the past few days, because of Gongsun Zhu's return, this army of annihilating the remnants of the Yellow Turbans finally had a backbone.
Liu Bei also had someone to talk to. Although he couldn't change anything, he still pulled Gongsun Zhu and talked for a long time...
Of course, after saying that, they once again devoted themselves to wiping out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
But everyone is very curious about the young scribe who came back with Gongsun Zhu, and seems to want to know who he is...
However, Gongsun Zhu did not introduce him at all. Neither Liu Guan nor Zhang, nor Zhao Yun and Tian Chou Tian Yu who were beside Gongsun Zhu could say much.
I can only suppress this curiosity in my heart.
Until... one day they were summoned by Gongsun Zhu to the temporary military camp in Bohai County.
At this time, they had completely wiped out Huanglong's remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, and had made quite a few achievements in attacking Qingzhou, and even made a trip to Youzhou.
I finally had an explanation with Gongsun Zhu’s uncle...
Gongsun Zan expressed his support for Gongsun Zhu's choice and current situation, and even allocated more than a thousand elite cavalry to him again.
Although there were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses this time, when he saw the white horse and the spear... his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He seems to know who this soldier is...
Of course, Gongsun Zhu couldn't refuse his uncle's kindness. With a smile and gratitude on his face, he took these soldiers and horses into his own bag.
At the same time, he handed it to Zhao Yun on the side, allowing him to become a cavalry commander under his command!
Of course, in addition to Gongsun Zan, there is another very important point, and that is the relationship between Zou Jing and Liu Bei.
As the commander of the rebel army under Zou Jing, Liu Bei had considerable military merit this time, and he had a relationship with Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Zhu.
Zou Jing also wrote a few more good words, so that Liu Bei got a position as a commander in another department.
But... Gongsun Zhu shattered all the expectations and wishes of Liu, Guan, and Zhang with just one sentence.
"How much do you have to pay for this Sima of another department?"
There are some things that Liu Bei doesn't know. Maybe Liu Bei knows but he doesn't want to tell himself the truth.
So when Gongsun Zhu said this sentence that everyone knew what it meant, everyone became silent.
Zou Jing did not lie to anyone and told everyone the current market situation.
"After Your Majesty knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly put down, he naturally picked up some rules.
Therefore, in addition to military merit and rewards, if you want to obtain an official position, you also need to pay some financial contributions every year.
Of course...because Xuande has made great contributions, you naturally don't need to pay immediately when you take up the post.
As long as you prepare the money and benefits within a few months, this position..."
"I wonder what kind of means Bei needs to use to prepare the benefits?
Do you need to follow me to search for those people's fat and people's anointing? "
"..."
Zou Jing didn't know Liu Bei well, but looking at Liu Bei's appearance, he knew that this matter was not going to work. This guy... was not an accommodating person.
Gongsun Zhu had already expected this.
He understands Liu Bei and knows that given the current situation, it might be okay for Liu Bei to be an official and subordinate to others.
If he wants to go out to serve as an official, I'm afraid...his temper will soon make the problem serious.
Rather than letting him make the problem worse, it is better to let him recognize the reality early, tell him directly not to have wishful thinking, and maybe avoid taking some wrong paths.
Obviously, after the trip to Youzhou, Liu Bei finally understood it.
He did not go to Bingzhou Frontier Army to take up his post. He knew that even if he went, it would be meaningless.
In the end, he will leave the army and leave in despair.
Gongsun Zhu used some means to turn Liu Bei into an image who voluntarily gave up his achievements and only hoped to help the big man.
At the same time, he was completely transferred under his command.
From then on, he was no longer a rebel under Zou Jing.
It was Sima, the commander of the army under Captain Jianyi...
At the same time, the two choices and two opportunities that Guan Ning told him before have now come to him.
“Everyone, I invite you here today.
Just to tell you that the imperial court is already aware of all my achievements some time ago.
The rewards for us have also begun to come out at this time.
Let’s not talk about Brother Xuande’s matter for the time being. Without the support of our family, naturally we can’t get anything special.
Two days ago, Brother Meng De happened to send a letter to a certain family. In the letter, he told a certain family.
The imperial court was very satisfied with his battle, so he specifically erased his previous mistakes and at the same time made him the Prime Minister of Jinan, my great Han Dynasty.
Although Meng De dare not say that he is proud of himself at this time, he is still well prepared.
Soon after the imperial court's decree comes to him, he can go directly to take up his post. "
At this time, Gongsun Zhu couldn't help but laugh, even though his face was full of smiles.
But the meaning of these words is not that happy. None of them are powerful people, although they are not jealous of anything.
But for this kind of thing... directly stating the word "power" clearly, it is inevitable that they have some thoughts in their hearts.
Of course, Gongsun Zhu would not have any thoughts about Cao Mengde because of this. After all, this was a reasonable thing.
Although it seems unfair, it is indeed reality, and Gongsun Zhu cannot even distinguish this.
Moreover...Cao Mengde used his family background, or in other words, his family background took the initiative to help Cao Mengde.
Gongsun Zhu is not that gentle, he just acts like a well-behaved person.
While others were thinking of ways to achieve their own merits and career, Gongsun Zhu also used some connections...
“In addition, there is news from the court.
Previously, a certain family returned to their mentor and was unfairly wronged. They specially asked Zitai to go to the capital and spent a lot of money and silk to meet his mentor.
And he went around looking for people with lofty ideals, and together he rescued his mentor.
Now I have good luck.
Although our efforts did not yield any good results, the imperial court finally saw the injustice done to our mentor.
Some time ago, my mentor Lu Gong finally escaped from prison and returned to the court..."
When Gongsun Zhu finished these words, Liu Bei on the side couldn't help but jumped up from the one-legged stool.
His eyes were full of shock and regret, and at the same time he could see the comfort on Gongsun Zhu's face...
