Looking at Lu Zhi in front of him, and then looking at where Lu Zhi was pointing, Zhang Wen especially wanted to remind Lu Zhi that the place he was pointing at was his own mansion, not his Lu Mansion.
But don't say this. He didn't even think about it for a moment, for fear that Lu Zhi's glare would make him lose face at the door.
This is a famous scholar in China!
"Gong Lu is here... Wen must greet him personally..." As soon as Zhang Wen opened his mouth, he felt that this was not a good thing. After all, he was not the one to greet him.
This is exactly like the other party welcoming him in his mansion.
But after saying this... I could only smile awkwardly in the end.
"Open the middle door and invite Mr. Lu into the house!"
Zhang Wen quickly changed his tone, and then asked someone to open the door of the mansion. He ignored the group of visitors at the door and directly invited Lu Zhi in.
It was very respectful at that time...
After entering the mansion, Lu Zhi did not speak first, and Zhang Wen, who was a little uneasy, naturally did not dare to take the initiative to say anything.
The two of them fell into silence.
I don't know how long the silence lasted. Even the tea soup on the side was almost dry. Lu Zhi finally looked at Zhang Wen again.
This time, Zhang Wen couldn't help but straighten his waist.
"Since Your Majesty appointed Bo Shen as the Chariot and Cavalry General to command the northwest army, I am here to congratulate Bo Shen today."
"Ziqian...Ziqian is overrated. In fact, I also think...His Majesty should let Zigan serve as the commander-in-chief of the army..."
"Boshen really thinks so?"
This sentence made Zhang Wen froze in embarrassment again. Zhang Wen, who was just polite, certainly didn't really think so, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
I could only smile awkwardly, that's all.
“I didn’t come here today to say these useless polite words to Bo Shen.
There are just some things that I want to tell Bo Shen, hoping that Bo Shen can listen. "
"If Ziqian has anything to say, you can just say it. I am all ears!" Zhang Wen chuckled directly, then bowed to Lu Zhi and spoke softly.
"Boshen was able to obtain the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry, and to be able to travel to the northwest with the right to take over Yizhen's place on a holiday is a sign of the Holy Family.
I have nothing to say about this, but I can’t say whether there is anyone else’s credit for this!
I came to see Bo Shen today just to ask Bo Shen, what do you think of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong? "
"..." After Zhang Wen heard Lu Zhi's words, his face naturally became a little ugly. He knew that it was difficult not to make people suspicious of this matter.
After all, his status in the court is good, but it is because of this that he is easily suspected.
He is already Sikong. If he continues to be promoted, wouldn't it be easier than Huangfu Song to become undefeated?
Although you don't have to worry about your great power and shocking the master, if you really say it is appropriate.
Whether it is Lu Zhi or the many generals who emerged from the quelling of the Yellow Turban Rebellion this time, they are more suitable than Zhang Wen.
And anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were talking in the middle, which gave him such an opportunity.
so...
But even so, Zhang Wen didn't dare to admit it, and he couldn't admit it either.
"What Zigan said...Though Zhang and Zhao are close associates of His Majesty, what they do is known to the world.
Even if you ask me to say... I'm just bringing up old things again. "
Zhang Wen didn't dare to say anything more, but he didn't dare not to say anything. In the end, he used this vague method as if he wanted to get rid of the matter.
Lu Zhi glanced at Zhang Wen again, and his sharp eyes made Zhang Wen feel a little panicked, but he couldn't say much else.
He could only nod his head silently.
"What Bo Shen said is right. Their affairs are known to the world, so it's really hard to say anything more.
It's just that I thought of some rumors, and now I feel a little emotional.
Na Yi is really pitiful, what he did today is exactly the same as what I did back then.
When Yizhen was well-known before, it was said that Zhang Rang was quite fond of him and even sent someone to find him.
From the looks of it, it seemed that he wanted Yizhen to express his feelings towards him, or to let Yizhen stand by his side.
But what kind of temper Yi Zhen is, how can he give face to a group of eunuchs with a temper that comes from the battlefield?
As a result, the little eunuch sent by Zhang Ren, not to mention asking Yizhen to bow his head, was already punished by Yizhen before he could finish his words, and then insulted him directly.
This clear attitude is Yizhen's temper, but it's a pity.
This temper also made Zhang Rang know that although Yizhen was brave and good at fighting, he was not one of his own after all.
This time around Yizhen's matter, I'm afraid Zhang gave a lot of help. "
"....Then...that Zhang Rang is really abominable." Zhang Wen's face looked a little ugly. He looked at Lu Zhi in front of him, as if he didn't want to continue this topic.
But Lu Zhi did not give him this opportunity.
After Zhang Wen echoed twice awkwardly, Lu Zhi started talking again.
"If Zhang Rang was angry because Yizhen didn't give him face.
Then this guy Zhao Zhong...hehehehe...the hatred with him is much more serious.
I wonder if Bo Shen has heard of it? "
"This...this is indeed..."
"Bo Shen is Sikong, so you can't be ignorant of everything in the court.
This matter is quite a fuss! "
"..."
Zhang Wen looked at Lu Zhi in front of him, but in the end he didn't say those words, because he was indeed aware of the hatred between the two people.
It can even be said to be very clear!
After all, Huangfu Song had been the shepherd of Jizhou for only a few months, and he did two things in Jizhou.
First, he asked to be exempted from taxes in Jizhou for one year, and then vigorously restored the people's livelihood in Jizhou.
This was his compensation to Jizhou, and it was also to make the people of Jizhou feel grateful to the imperial court, and at the same time to make the people forget that he had set fire to the Yellow Turban Army's food and grass.
There is nothing unspeakable about this.
But the other two...
When he was conquering Zhang Jiao, he passed through Yecheng and found that Zhao Zhong's house was a little too big, so he sent a memorial to his majesty.
Zhao Zhong has served two generations of emperors, and he was somewhat restrained when he was the late emperor.
Since he followed the current majesty, especially when he was called Amu by that majesty, he has become even more crazy.
Zhao Zhong entered the palace as a young man and was valued by the late emperor for his intelligence. Later, he followed the late emperor and participated in the killing of the domineering general Liang Ji.
From then on, he was awarded the title of Duxianghou because of this incident, and gained the attention of the late emperor.
After the current His Majesty came to power, he allowed Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to rise completely, trusting them so much that they even handed over the promotion and appointment of officials.
And the profits here are huge, one can imagine!
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong also made a fortune because of this. Why did Liu Bei give up the credit and rewards he was about to receive under Gongsun Zhu's few words during the Yellow Turban Rebellion?
In the final analysis, it is because of this matter.
It can be said that Huangfu Song was the first to put down the rebellion. For this half-day contribution, he was rewarded by the Mu of Jizhou and the Marquis of Huaili. It is reasonable that he received these rewards and rights.
But if he wants to secure this position, he has to pay.
Naturally, the amount was quite large. Zhang Rang, the aide of Zhongchang, asked him for 50 million yuan. Huangfu Song kicked him out for a full 50 million yuan.
And offending Zhang Rang was offending the eunuch, so Huangfu Song didn't mind offending another Zhao Zhong.
Only then did the incident at Zhao Zhong's house appear.
Although this incident has not really shaken Zhao Zhong's status in His Majesty's heart today.
But... it also made him unable to forget it for a long time!
In Zhao Zhong’s words, “This old guy Huangfu Song is so hateful.
He just fights well when he's fighting outside. He's always too busy to stare at his own house for what he's doing!
He is jealous and deliberately causing trouble for himself!
Those damn yellow scarf thieves didn't even touch his house. He, Huangfu Song, had nothing to do to stab him. "
Zhao Zhong's remarks will naturally not be known to outsiders, but his hatred for Huangfu Song is known to everyone.
And these things caused Huangfu Song to be so disturbed. As the first-class eunuchs in the Han Dynasty, Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang both had a very bad feeling towards Huangfu Song.
It was only reasonable for them to finally make such a move.
At this time, Zhang Wen did not dare to say these words too clearly, and his silent attitude made Lu Zhi in front of him really understand.
Lu Zhi did not continue to force him or say anything more, but slowly stood up from the one-legged stool.
Looking at the silent and pale-looking burly general, he couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Zhi didn't know what to say about Zhang Wen's choice.
He is not a person who is lenient on himself but strict on others, and he will not say that Zhang Wen's behavior is an insult to his ancestors.
After all, even if he said this, I am afraid Zhang Wen would not admit it.
In the end, the noise continued, and Lu Zhi didn't want others to see the joke.
He just walked up to Zhang Wen very calmly, looked at Zhang Wen in front of him somewhat condescendingly, and then spoke softly.
“I know it’s not easy for you, Bo Shen, to reach this point, so I won’t say anything more today.
I just want to tell Bo Shen that the army is different from the court. If you want to truly let the soldiers serve, you must look like a general on horseback.
Such elegance will not work!
Soldiers have military rules, and soldiers have the backbone of soldiers.
I can't help you much. I just hope you can really listen to these words. "
After saying that, Lu Zhi turned around and left. However, when Zhang Wen wanted to stand up and say goodbye, he raised his hand again to stop him.
"Remember, what the army is looking for is not a holiday, let alone a cavalry general!
The army, especially the army in the northwest, looks up to you. "
