At this time, on a hilltop not far away, Huangfu Jianchang and Shi A were watching.
Shi A held the sword, shook his head and said: "These are indeed bandits."
Bandits are also divided into levels. Like the Montenegrin Army, they pay attention to strategy, have a large scale, and have certain strategies and tactics. However, the group in front of them only has money and food in their eyes, and they are just ordinary bandits.
Huangfu Jian rubbed his chin for a long time and said to himself: "Cheng Yu is really powerful. He dares to kill him. The people on the list given by Dachangqiu are indeed extraordinary."
"What should we do now? Do you want to help him defend the city?" Shi A looked at him.
Huangfu Jianchang shook his head and said: "Two thousand bandits cannot defeat us."
Shi Adao: "Then what are you doing with those thousand soldiers and horses?"
Huangfu Jianchang smacked his lips and said, "I'm afraid of being blocked. I plan to take these thousand troops with me wherever I go."
Shi Aqing knew that Huangfu Jianchang was talking nonsense, and said: "Your Majesty has handed over the military affairs of the four prefectures of Yan, Ji, Qing, and Henan to the Grand Sima Mansion. Your benefactor has also sent you a letter. What are your plans?"
Just as Huangfu Jianchang was about to speak, he suddenly said: "The bandits have retreated."
Shi'a turned his head and saw that the two thousand bandits who had been attacking the city with great force had left corpses on the ground and were hurriedly preparing to evacuate.
"Are we exposed?" Shi A was a little surprised. How long did he fight before he gave up?
Huangfu Jianchang looked back and said, "Probably not. It's probably because they knew they couldn't attack."
Before Shi'a could say anything else, the city gate of Dong'a suddenly opened wide, and dozens of cavalry rushed out, followed by hundreds of people, chasing down the retreating bandits.
The group of bandits was very scattered and had no organization at all. Seeing Cheng Yu leaving the city, instead of fighting back or cutting off the rear, they scattered and fled.
It didn't take long, under the watchful eyes of Huangfu Jianchang, Shi A and a group of Imperial City Prefecture captains, the original more than two thousand bandits were defeated, some were killed, some fled, and some surrendered.
A predictable chaos ended in a thrilling and dramatic way.
Huangfu Jian looked at Cheng Yu who was cleaning up the mess in an orderly manner, and suddenly said: "I want to take this person away."
Shi A was startled and said: "Take him away? Back to the capital?"
Huangfu Jian long shook his head and said: "I feel like my brain is a little exhausted recently, and you can't help me. This Cheng Yu can help me."
Shi A paused, clenched the sword in his hand, and said, "I want to go back to Beijing."
Huangfu Jian looked at him and said with a smile, "Do you miss a woman?"
Shi A had no expression on his face and said, "If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll become your murderer, and I won't be able to represent you to my benefactor."
Huangfu Jianchang smacked his lips, hugged him, and walked down, saying, "Without you, I would die outside, and it would be hard for you to explain."
Shia ignored him.
Everyone from the Imperial City Mansion descended from the top of the mountain and walked toward Dong'a County in a hurry.
When the bandit chaos was just beginning, the appearance of such a group of people made everyone in Dong'a County very nervous.
After receiving the news, Cheng Yu personally greeted Huangfu Jianchang and others out of the house. He carefully looked at Huangfu Jianchang and others again and again to confirm that they were not bandits. He stepped forward and raised his hand and said: "Cheng Yu, the commander of the Cavalry Command, may I ask..."
A guard stepped forward and said loudly: "Huangcheng Mansion School Captain, Huangfu Jianchang."
Cheng Yu was startled. He didn't know the Imperial City Mansion, nor did he know Huangfu Jianchang.
It should be said that Huangfu Jianchang did do a lot of things, but it was basically shady and very few people knew about it. Cheng Yu was in Dong'a County, Dongjun County, Yanzhou. He was a small cavalry captain, but he didn't know it was too normal.
Huangfu Jian was riding on the horse with a normal expression, staring at Cheng Yu with his eyes twinkling.
Seeing Cheng Yu in a daze, the guard took out an official document from his arms and handed it over.
Cheng Yu took it and suddenly realized after reading it, he said, "Is this the second young master Huangfu?"
Huangfu Jianchang hated this the most, and said calmly: "I am the captain of Huangcheng Prefecture, you can call me Huangfu captain."
After saying this, Huangfu Jian frowned and said, "This is an official document from the Grand Sima Mansion. You guessed me just because my last name is Huangfu?"
Cheng Yu returned the official document, raised his hand and said: "Last year, the second young master escorted many goods through Yanzhou. The lower official was also ordered to escort them, but his position was low and the second young master did not recognize the official."
Huangfu Jianchang really didn't recognize Cheng Yu, so he nodded and said, "I want to recruit you. How long will it take you to take care of things here?"
Cheng Yu raised his hand and said with confusion on his face: "Second Young Master wants to recruit subordinate officials? I don't know why?"
Huangfu Jianchang sat on the horse, raised his head and chest, and said: "I have been ordered to go to Xu and Yu. I have many things and need help. I will meet with the Grand Sima Mansion and the Shangshutai to ask you whether you agree or not. ?”
Cheng Yu looked at Huangfu Jianchang, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have to obey. Please give me three days."
"One day at most."
Huangfu Jian looked at him and said: "The matter is urgent, I don't have time to wait for you."
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, looked back and said, "I will obey your orders."
Huangfu Jianchang suddenly laughed, jumped off his horse, came to Cheng Yu, slapped him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, follow me, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to a higher level every year, at most two years, I will guarantee you to be a county magistrate .”
Cheng Yu glanced at the hand on his shoulder, feeling a little surprised. His expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
Huangfu Jian tilted his head. Cheng Yu was a little too calm.
However, he likes it!
"Old Shi, send an order to them to wipe out the banditry around them. At this time tomorrow, we will set off to Pingyuan County." Huangfu Jianchang turned around and spoke to Shi Adao.
Shi A nodded and ordered a guard to deliver the order.
Cheng Yu led Huangfu Jianchang into the city and introduced the situation in Dong'e County.
Huangfu Jianchang was curious about his tactics in this battle, and without waiting for Cheng Yu to say a few words, he hooked up with him and entered the city together.
Cheng Yu was not used to Huangfu Jian's "self-confidence", but his identity was too special, so he could only endure it.
The next day, Cheng Yu made arrangements and set off with Huangfu Jianchang and headed straight for Qingzhou Pingyuan County.
At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was in Xiang County, Pei State, Yuzhou, had received the imperial decree.
The back hall of the government office.
Dong Zhuo's face was covered with sweat. He came out of the backyard while wiping his face. Not to mention the wrinkles on his old face, he said: "This Yuzhou is just not as good as Liangzhou. It's still so hot in October."
Niu Fu, Jia Xu, Hua Xiong, and Guo Bang sat on both sides, all looking at him.
Dong Zhuo had gained a lot of weight. After sitting down, he threw away his towel and looked at the crowd and said, "Isn't he just a lieutenant? Doesn't matter if I want him or not?"
Jia Xu felt a little relieved when he saw that Dong Zhuo didn't look angry.
Niu Fu gnawed on the mutton and said loudly: "Father, one million people from the Montenegrin Army have besieged Julu, and the imperial court can't send any people to support it. It's probably fallen now. We might as well take the opportunity to swallow Xuzhou and watch Yuan Shu fight with the imperial court. Let’s reap the benefits!”
Dong Zhuo took a sip of wine, looked at Jia Xu with a smile, and said, "Wen He, what do you think?"
Jia Xu, dressed in white, glanced at Niu Fu, who was covered in stains, and said calmly: "Dong Gong, the chaos has appeared, the Han Dynasty is coming to an end, and no one can change it. Now all the heroes have joined forces to compete in the world, Dong Gong also Don’t just sit back and watch, you should choose the opportunity to strengthen yourself for the future!”
Dong Zhuo's eyes were pulsing with light, he touched his red lips and said with a cryptic expression: "I intend to go north, capture Yanzhou, and then swallow up Qingzhou and Jizhou. What do you think?"
Niu Fu, Guo Si and others were startled and looked at each other.
Yanzhou is not an ordinary place, it is connected to Sili. Once they enter Yanzhou, they will openly rebel!
The imperial court will never tolerate it and will definitely send troops to conquer it!
When Dong Zhuo saw that they were silent, his eyes fell on Jia Xu again, his smile faded a little, and he said, "What do you think of Wen He?"
Jia Xu did not expect that Dong Zhuo suddenly had such great ambitions, and thought thoughtfully: "Dong Gong, if we go north, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others in the south may turn around. By then, we will be attacked from both sides, and even be surrounded. .”
Dong Zhuo opened his eyes and said quickly: "Yuan Shu is powerful in the south, and the court has nothing to do. There are millions of Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, and they have besieged the city for half a year, and the court is unable to support it. Isn't this the best time for me to take Yanzhou?"
Jia Xu said: "Dong Gong, winter is coming soon. Xu Rong in Yanzhou has nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses. If we cannot win quickly, the consequences will be disastrous."
Dong Zhuo frowned, looking unhappy.
This was a strategy he had been thinking about for many days, but Jia Xu rejected it in just a few words.
Jia Xu couldn't tell that Dong Zhuo was angry, so he pretended to hesitate and said: "Dong Gong, if we take Xuzhou first and then go north to Qingzhou and Yanzhou, it will be easy." Then Lu Bu admired Dong Gong very much and took him back. Dong Gong Not only have we got a strong general, but we can also have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and two counties. When the time comes, with this strong general opening the way, it will be smooth and unimpeded!"
Thinking of Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Fengxian is indeed a great general. If he can join me, why should I worry about traveling north and south?"
Seeing Dong Zhuo's move, Jia Xu looked slightly cold and said, "Dong Gong, we have to step up our efforts to win over him. Lu Bu is Xuzhou, and Lu Bu's surrender is equivalent to Xuzhou's surrender."
In Xuzhou now, after last year's chaos, except for Guangling County, which is in the hands of Ding Yuan, and Langya County, which is in the hands of Tao Qian, the other places are either occupied by the Yellow Turban Army or in the hands of Lu Bu.
Liu Bei, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng who had high hopes, was defeated and fled after being killed by Lu Bu. He has been transferred to the post of Hanzhong Prefect.
Dong Zhuo sat up and said in a deep voice: "Wen He, come here as a filial piety. Everything in my house is at your disposal. No matter how high the price is, I will not hesitate!"
Jia Xu remained calm and said, "Dong Gong, I only need two things."
"What two?" Dong Zhuo felt relieved when he heard this and asked quickly.
Jia Xu said: "Dong Gong's BMW and Dong Gong's adopted daughter."
Dong Zhuo's expression suddenly changed, and he became obviously hesitant.
Niu Fu, Guo Si and others turned a blind eye.
Dong Zhuo had two hobbies in his life, one was BMW and the other was beauty. Jia Xu's two demands simply cost him his life!
Jia Xu also knew this, but this was also Lu Bu's fatal weakness.
He looked at Dong Zhuo solemnly and said, "Dong Gong, Lu Bu, is Xuzhou!"
Dong Zhuo's eyes kept blinking, feeling a little restless.
Seeing this, Jia Xu said, "Dong Gong, it's no time to delay. After next year, the court will be relieved and there will be no chance again!"
Dong Zhuo struggled again and again, but finally said: "Then, Yi Wenhe."
Jia Xu raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Dong, this matter is very certain!"
Dong Zhuo smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay, okay."
With Dong Zhuo's permission, Jia Xu immediately took his BMW and Dong Zhuo's adopted daughter and went straight to Xiapi.
…
Xiapi, Xu County.
Lu Bu has been very proud of himself recently. Whether it is conquering Yuan Shu, quelling the rebellion, or Liu Bei, he has achieved great victory.
Not only did he have the territory, he also had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He occupied more than 30 counties including Xiapi and Pengcheng Kingdom, and instantly became a decisive figure.
Not only the court tried to comfort him, but Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, Yuan Shu and others also quietly sent generous gifts and secretly won over him.
Gao Shun, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and others sat together, raised their wine glasses to Lu Bu and said, "The general will be waiting for you, the captain!"
Lu Bu laughed loudly, raised his glass, and drank it all.
With the wine in his stomach, Lu Bu felt very happy and said: "I have never been so happy since I joined the army! I have gained wealth and honor, and I will share it with you all!"
"Thank you Captain!"
"We will follow the captain to the death!"
Gao Shun and others were naturally polite. Lu Bu was indeed very generous to them and was not a stingy person.
"Drink!" Lu Bu said nothing else and picked up the wine glass again.
A group of people naturally accompanied each other, and they drank it all in one go, leaving no trace behind.
There was a lot of wine and wine at the table.
After drinking for three rounds, Lu Bu put down his glass and said with a sad look on his face: "Everyone, I am faced with a difficult decision now. Please help me with some advice."
Everyone was startled, looked at Lu Bu, and then turned to Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was loyal to Lu Bu. When he was at his lowest, Gao Shun always followed him.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Gao Shun had no choice but to speak and said, "Colonel Lieutenant, what is it that makes you so hesitant?"
Lu Bu let out a long sigh and said, "Ding Shijun is my adoptive father. According to the law, I should follow you around. However, my adoptive father is very distant from me and seems to have the intention of annexing my tribe. Dong Taiwei has repeatedly shown kindness to me. But how could I betray my adoptive father and go to him? Who do I think I am, Lu Bu!"
Several people listened, looked at each other, and Hao Meng said tentatively: "The school captain, Dong Taiwei, is the prince of the dynasty, and he has a sacred mandate. If he orders the dispatch, I am afraid I have to obey. "
Lu Bu looked at him drunkenly and sighed: "This is the difficulty. I am in a dilemma now."
Cheng Lian stared at Lu Bu, turned his eyes, and suddenly said: "Captain, I heard that Ding Shijun made many mistakes in Yanzhou and was sent back by the court. This time he came to Xuzhou. It is said that he came from exile. The court is probably very disappointed with him. "
Lu Bu sighed again and said, "I talked to my adoptive father and he said the same thing."
Cheng Lian understood instantly and immediately said: "Ding Shijun has done nothing in Guangling, can't stand back, and has failed the court's trust. Although the school captain is an adopted son, the court's justice cannot be ignored. The school captain must act impartially. , write a letter of impeachment to speak out for national affairs.”
Lu Bu straightened his figure and said, "Is this feasible?"
Cheng Lian said loudly: "You should not avoid relatives when promoting talents, and you must not avoid it when doing national affairs! This is a matter of great justice, and the captain does not need to worry too much!"
Lu Bu was greatly moved and looked at the others.
Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others all nodded, thinking that Cheng Lian was right.
Although Gao Shun felt it was inappropriate, he did not refute.
Lu Bu got the approval of these people and laughed and said: "My worries are gone! Everyone, drink hard!"
"Drink!"
Everyone picked up their wine glasses and started drinking with Lu Bu again.
A group of people drank and staggered around until midnight before they were taken back by their men.
As soon as Lu Bu returned to the mansion, he immediately pushed away the soldiers and strode back to the study.
When I came to the desk, I laid out the Shi Hou paper, picked up the pen, looked calm, hesitated again and again, and put down the pen.
An impeachment memorial was written in more than three hundred words.
Lu Bu no longer hesitated and ordered people to send it out.
He didn't know it yet, but at this moment, Jia Xu was rushing over with gifts.
A few days later, Jia Xu arrived.
Lu Bu entertained them warmly, held a banquet, kept singing and dancing, and toasted one glass after another.
Jia Xu was not good at drinking, and when he saw those singing girls coming to tease them from time to time, he frowned unconsciously no matter how deep he was in the city.
He felt that these songs and dances were not clean and would make him feel uncomfortable if they touched him.
Lu Bu saw it calmly, but did not stop him until he was almost done drinking. Then he invited Jia Xu into the back hall to talk alone.
The two sat down and served tea. There were only two of them. Lu Bu then said with a smile: "Master Jia has been working hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work."
Without the noise outside, Jia Xu regained his composure. He glanced sideways at Lu Bu and said, "Colonel Lu, you don't even know that your death is coming."
Lu Bu's smile suddenly froze, then laughed loudly and said, "Master Jia, you are really a bit clumsy as a lobbyist."
Jia Xu sneered and said: "Then Liu Bei is the Prime Minister of Pengcheng appointed by the imperial court. How can the imperial court tolerate Liu Bei's attack on him? Liu Bei is a disciple of the chariot general Lu Zhi, and he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Now , Liu Bei jumped up and became the prefect of Hanzhong, appointed by His Majesty! Does Lieutenant Lu still think that my words are clumsy?"
Lu Bu's smile disappeared, and he even became a little gloomy, staring at Jia Xu with dagger-like eyes.
In the past, he didn't feel much, immersed in the unprecedented scenery.
But after listening to Jia Xu's words, I felt cold and scared.
Liu Bei did have a great background. He was in such a mess in Xuzhou. Instead of being held accountable, he was promoted to the prefect of Hanzhong!
This explains it all!
"What will the court do to me?" Lu Bu asked impatiently.
Jia Xu was sitting there, and when he saw Lu Bu's reaction, his expression became even colder, and he said: "The Black Mountain Army is plundering Jizhou, and the imperial court can't take action. Winter is coming, and the Montenegro Army has to retreat if it doesn't retreat. When the imperial court calms down, we can go west There is Gongsun Zan on the front, Tao Qian and Cao Cao on the back, and Ding Shijun, the adoptive father of Lieutenant Lu, on the south. Surrounded by 70,000 or 80,000 troops, Captain Lu is still alive?"
Lu Bu's face stiffened, he quickly sat up straight, raised his hand and said: "Lu Bu was rude earlier, please don't pay attention to it, Military Advisor Jia. If you have any plans, please tell me frankly, Lu Bu will be rewarded generously!"
Seeing Lu Bu's posture lowered, Jia Xu pretended to think deeply and said: "Captain Lu is in Xiapi. He has no way to advance and no way to retreat. What he can do now is to join forces vertically and horizontally to make the imperial court have some scruples and not allow a large army." Conquest.”
Lu Bu understood instantly and said quickly: "Bu admired Duke Dong very much when he was in Bingzhou. If he can be supported by Duke Dong, Lü Bu will be grateful!"
Jia Xu looked motionless and shook his head secretly.
With just a few words, he understood Lu Bu clearly.
This person has no brains. He only cares about the present and has no long-term vision.
But it’s people like this who are useful!
Jia Xu smiled suddenly and said: "Dong Gong also appreciates Colonel Lu very much. This time I come here as a gift in return. I also ask Captain Lu to open a convenient door for people to come in."
Lu Bu became a little curious and said to the door: "Let someone come in."
Not long after, a young woman came near, with skin as smooth as gelatin and a graceful body. She lowered her head and raised her chin, looking very charming.
Lu Bu just glanced at her, then moved away and stared directly at the woman.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "This daughter is Dong Gong's righteous daughter. She has been with her since she was a child. She is no different from her biological daughter. Today, I would like Colonel Lu to be my virtuous son-in-law. Can Captain Lu do that?"
Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu, then stared at the woman and said, "Okay, okay..."
Jia Xu saw this and stood up and said: "Captain Lu, Mr. Dong still wants to salute you. Please move and take a look."
Lu Bu was startled, reluctantly asked the woman to be invited into the backyard room, and followed Jia Xu to the front yard.
What catches the eye is a horse as white as jade, with smooth hair and strong limbs. Standing there, it gives people a fierce feeling.
"What a horse!" Lu Bu couldn't help blurting out.
He is a military commander and loves BMWs.
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "Dong Gong got this horse from Xiliang. It is a good horse that is unique among ten thousand. Before coming here, Dong Gong took good care of it for three days, and then he entrusted me to present it to Lu Xiao. Lieutenant."
Lu Bu was so moved that he couldn't help but walk to the white horse, stretched out his hand to touch it, his eyes were shining brightly, he couldn't help but get on the horse, and started galloping in the courtyard.
Jia Xu stood still, watching Lu Bu's movements, and he was already 100% sure in his heart - this Lu Bu would be used by Dong Zhuo!
Lu Bu turned around several times and felt the firmness in his crotch. He laughed and jumped down. He raised his hand and said loudly to Jia Xu: "Please tell Master Jia to tell Dong Gong that Lu Bu has admired me for a long time. Please let me see you!"
Jia Xu's smile did not change and he said: "Dong Gong admires Colonel Lu's bravery very much and wishes we could meet him soon. Why don't Colonel Lu clean up and go with me to see Duke Dong?"
Lu Bu showed hesitation and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate at this time. There are still many bandits in Xuzhou, so Bu can't leave for the time being."
Jia Xu didn't take it seriously and nodded: "Dong Gong had known this for a long time. He had said before he came that it would be difficult to see him this year. How about spring next year?"
Lu Bu immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "It's true!"
Jia Xu was very satisfied with Lu Bu's reaction.
Dong Zhuo gained Lu Bu, which means he gained Lu Bu's 20,000 troops. At the same time, he also indirectly gained Xuzhou!
The benefits of getting a strong general, strength, and territory for just one Lu Bu are simply unimaginable!
…
When Jia Xu visited Lu Bu's mansion, Ding Yuan of Guangling County was on pins and needles.
There are no more than three thousand people under his command, and there are still no capable generals and staff.
To the south of him was Wu County. Sun Jian, the governor of Wu County, pressed him for money and food from time to time, and even sent troops to threaten and rob him, which made him frightened and helpless.
To the southwest is Jiujiang County. Yuan Shu's general Zhang He was too brave and defeated Yuan Shao steadily. He even pushed deeper into Guangling and Ding Yuan was so frightened that he almost abandoned the city and fled.
"Do you have a reply from my son Fengxian?"
Ding Yuan, who was writing official documents in the house, suddenly raised his head when he heard footsteps at the door.
The clerk had heard this seven or eight times that day and was used to it. He raised his hand and said, "I haven't received it yet, sir. It's an official letter from the prefect of Wu County asking for money and food."
Ding Yuan was bored and waved his hand: "No, no!"
As a shepherd in Yangzhou, he actually couldn't even enter Yangzhou. Sun Jian, the governor of Wu County, was eyeing him and wouldn't allow him to become a military commander at all.
Verbal threats don't count, and forceful coercion has become commonplace.
hateful!
The more Ding Yuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up his pen and wrote another letter to Lu Bu.
This letter recalls the past, imagines the future, and promises to give money, food, soldiers, and power, and make the pie as big as possible!
What he expected was that Dong Zhuo was one step ahead of him, and the benefits were real.
There is a three-way struggle here in Xuzhou, and there is no peace in the capital.
As the imperial court's policies were implemented one by one, the impact on various states was quickly apparent.
The number of officials, big and small, who were investigated and punished reached as many as 500 in just half a month, and the subsequent rebound rebounded to the imperial court even more quickly.
Among them, the most impeached were Cao Shangshu Xun You and Zuopushe Wang Yun, who presided over the "reduction of redundant officials".
It was just an impeachment, and all kinds of 'evidence' emerged, pointing to countless people including themselves, relatives, servants, disciples and former officials.
At the same time, Wang Yunzai deliberately targeted the "Yingchuan Party", and Sima Jun, acting impartially, actually found a lot of evidence, pointing the finger directly at the "Er Xun".
Er Xun remained calm on the surface, but he inspected Bingzhou's supervisory censor and official Cao Langzhong, and arrested more than ten people from the Taiyuan Wang family. All kinds of oral evidence were solidly placed on Wang Yun's desk.
Both sides acted in unison and suspended targeted actions.
But this is just a pause.
Taichang Temple.
Cai Yong, who was renamed Taichang Temple Minister, stood in the courtyard, looking a little confused and helpless.
The original Shihou Paper Workshop is moving away the last batch of equipment in an orderly manner. Once moved, Shihou Paper will have nothing to do with Taichang Temple and Cai Yong.
Not long ago, he was publicly reprimanded, fined, and demoted to the third level in Jiade Hall, which was a huge blow to Cai Yong's prestige.
Naturally, this also made the ambitious Cai Yong frightened and discouraged.
After the move was completed, Cai Yong waved his hand to the clerk who reported the matter and said, "You can figure it out."
After saying that, he sighed inwardly and left Taichang Temple dejectedly, preparing to return home.
The clerk and others looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
Their temple minister has been arriving late and leaving early recently. In Taichang Temple, he spends no more than two hours a day.
What's the point of going on like this?
Cai Yong lost his previous vigor and returned to his home, where he also read and drank in the small pavilion in the backyard.
During this period of time, he did not attend any banquets. He stayed at Taichang Temple and the mansion and rarely had any other entertainment.
"Master, Master, I'm so happy, my wife has given birth!" A maidservant hurriedly came to the pavilion and said loudly.
Cai Yong was drunk, his eyes were dim, and his reaction was slow. He turned to look at her and said, "Boy or girl?"
"It's a girl." The maid said happily, holding her hands and waiting for the wedding money.
Cai Yong ignored it, turned his head and continued drinking.
The maid did not expect her master's reaction to be like this. Just as she was about to speak, a porter came in a hurry. He glanced at the maid and whispered in Cai Yong's ear: "Master, the prince is here."
Cai Yong paused with the wine glass in his mouth and said, "Who are you talking about?"
The servant whispered: "Your Majesty."
Cai Yong suddenly sobered up a lot, and said quickly: "Invite him in, no, I will invite him myself!"
Cai Yong arranged his clothes, and after taking a few steps, he said to the maid again: "Take care of your wife and children. Also, prepare a good banquet. Go quickly!"
The maid hurriedly responded and hurried away.
Cai Yong welcomed Wang Yun in from the back door, with a smile on his face and said, "My lord, it's rare that you come to this humble residence."
In the past, Wang Yun and Cai Yong still had some friendship. Since Wang Yun became "developed", he has become estranged from many people in the past.
Wang Yun put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Cai just gave birth to a baby girl. I am very happy to congratulate you."
Cai Yong didn't take this matter to heart at all, but he laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "It is a blessing to have a son when you are old, please invite me."
Wang Yun's indifferent face was full of smiles. After entering the pavilion and looking at the exquisite meals, he smiled more and more and said, "Mr. Cai, you are so rich, aren't you afraid that I will investigate you for corruption?"
Cai Yong smiled even more than him and said: "The palace gave it to me. If the prince wants to check it, I will take you to the palace."
When Wang Yun saw him mentioning 'palace', his smile slowly diminished, and his indifferent expression returned, saying, "Mr. Cai, what do you think is the most urgent matter for the court?"
Seeing his expression change, Cai Yong also darkened and said, "What do you mean, prince?"
Wang Yun looked at him and said: "Of course it is the foundation of the country."
Cai Yong thought about it carefully and said, "The prince is talking about 'official administration'?"
In the past, when talking about the "national foundation", the first thing that comes to mind is "Liu Xie", who is a threat to the national foundation.
Now that Liu Bian has two princes, Liu Xie has become insignificant.
Wang Yun sat up straight, with a solemn expression and a sharp gaze, and said, "I'm talking about the East Palace!"
Cai Yong's expression suddenly changed and his eyes widened!
He opened his mouth, but no word came out.
'East Palace' naturally refers to the prince.
As for the two princes in the palace, the eldest son was born to his daughter Cai Wenji.
In terms of birth, character, and reputation, his daughter is hundreds of times better than Tang Mao's daughter!
Cai Yong was nervous as never before. He stared at Wang Yun and was speechless for a long time.
This proposal to establish a prince is not a small matter, it involves too much!
Not to mention that the prince is the future emperor, but for now, the status of the 'prince' is extremely valuable, and the biological mother also decided that the mother would be more valuable than the son, and she was established as the queen.
According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, the Cai family, as the mother clan, will definitely soar and become the number one family in the world!
What will follow will be drastic changes in the court situation!
Cai Yong came from the Liang family and experienced three powerful generals!
He is too aware of this situation!
Seeing Cai Yong's breathing gradually becoming rapid, Wang Yun looked indifferent and said calmly: "Mr. Cai, the East Palace matter is of great importance. In the past, Empress Dowager Dong and the Twelve Constant Attendants tried to change Liu Xie, and later Yuan Shu and others used the posthumous edict to rebel. Establishing the position of the Crown Prince is of great importance to the country and should not be delayed. It should be established quickly. As Taichang, the head of the nine ministers, it is your duty to give advice."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yong immediately said urgently: "No!"
He recommended his daughter as queen and his grandson as prince?
This, this, this is too unreasonable!
Wang Yun's eyes flashed sharply, and he said in an erratic tone: "If Jiu Qing doesn't move, it will be written on the Shangshu table. When the time comes, the credit for supporting the establishment will be that of Yang Biao. Cai Gong has already annoyed His Majesty. If he has no achievements, I'm afraid he will I will follow in the footsteps of Tang Mao."
When Cai Yong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
Tang Mao is the father of Tang Ji and the former Sili school captain. He was dismissed by Liu Bian because he obstructed the "New Deal". He has not recovered yet and is idle in Beijing.
