Gao Zhao has some impressions of the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but the specific time is somewhat uncertain.
Judging from Huangfu Song's expression, Wang Yun's life should not be very ideal. If I remember correctly, Wang Yun should have lost the battle with Zhang Rang and was forced to resign and live in seclusion, waiting for the opportunity to become an official. , Wang Yun has been appointed as the governor of Yuzhou to supervise one side.
The previous governor could be said to be the emperor's absolute confidant, and was ordered to supervise a state. However, since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, with the emergence of state pastors, the governor has gradually lost its role.
...
After a few days, Gao Zhao and Chen Dao finally came to a dilapidated courtyard after asking around. It was obvious that under Zhang Rang's suppression, Wang Yun's life could be described as miserable.
The thorns on the courtyard wall tell the story of its existence, and the wooden door in the middle of the courtyard wall has some cracks.
"Dong dong dong"
Following Gao Zhao's knock on the door, footsteps came from the courtyard.
When the courtyard door opened, a white-haired old man came into view. From the numb look on his face, it could be seen that he had suffered some blows and was a little tired.
The old man was a little wary when he saw the two of them. Now that Zhang Zangquan is in power, he has been harassed and suppressed a lot during this time.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
Gao Zhao saw Wang Yun's expression and guessed something:
"President Wang, why don't you invite my two brothers to come in and sit down? Maybe I can solve your current predicament?"
When Wang Yun heard this, he looked at Gao Zhao with suspicion. The vigilance on his face had disappeared a lot. He didn't think there was anything worthy of entertainment for him at this time.
Moreover, Gao Zhao's image is very deceptive. He has an extraordinary appearance and a look on his young face that does not belong to his age.
Chen Dao was also a little shocked. He really thought Wang Yun was Gao Zhao's uncle, but he was wise and didn't say anything.
Wang Yun stepped aside.
When the two of them walked into the house, Gao Zhao took a closer look at the dilapidated wooden house.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the dignified governor of a state has fallen to this level."
Wang Yun's face turned red when he heard this. Wasn't he laughing at his defeat at Zhang Rang? Even though he was a little angry:
"If you two guys want to come and make some sarcastic remarks, then please do it."
Wang Yun said, opened the door and motioned for the two of them to leave.
Gao Zhao ignored Wang Yun's actions and said:
"Wang Prefect, I have to say something big. If there is anyone in the world who can save you, it would be me, Mr. Gao. Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't."
After Gao Zhao finished speaking, he stood sideways and tied his hands.
When Chen Dao saw this, a look of admiration appeared on his face, which further confirmed his inner thoughts.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, among the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the class hierarchy was strict and the bureaucracy was very serious. In terms of status, there was an insurmountable gap between the common people and the bureaucrats. When ordinary people saw the nobles, they did not dare to speak nonsense even if they were not frightened to death. What's more, he was facing the governor of a state.
Wang Yun was shocked when he heard this. After decades of living, this was the first time he saw such an aura. At this time, Wang Yun somewhat believed that Gao Zhao could pull him out of his current predicament.
After a moment of shock, he realized what he was doing, hurriedly closed the door, and said angrily:
"Don't talk nonsense. I am the King of Heaven. I am His Majesty. Don't make such disrespectful remarks."
Gao Zhao didn't take it seriously and sat down again.
Wang Yun was a little anxious and said hurriedly:
"I wonder if my little brother has any clever ideas to save me."
Chen Dao was also looking forward to Gao Zhao's clever plan. Under the expectant gazes of the two, Gao Zhao did not answer Wang Yun's question directly, but asked instead:
"Confucius once said, 'It's a great pleasure to have friends come from far away.' My two brothers came all the way, and the governor Wang didn't even get a cup of hot tea. It's a little unreasonable."
Wang Yun's face turned red when he heard this. He was a little excited and indeed forgot that there was no servant around him at this time, so he could only go and pour water by himself.
When Wang Yun went out, Chen Dao couldn't bear it, leaned over and whispered:
"Xiupei, it's a little too much. The governor Wang is already in such a miserable state."
Gao Zhao glanced at Chen Dao, not blushing at all.
"I am training him. If he becomes an official in the future, I don't know how many people will be offended by his upright character."
When Chen Dao heard this, he didn't speak either.
After a while, Wang Yun came out with two cups of hot tea. When a few people sat down, Gao Zhao's expression suddenly became serious.
"Prince Wang, let me ask you first, whether you would consider leaving with me and living an easy life."
Wang Yun's expectant eyes disappeared instantly, and his face became solemn:
"Is this my friend just here to entertain me?"
After Gao Zhao knew his attitude, he stopped the topic and continued:
"Don't worry, Governor Wang. This is just a choice. If the Governor is unable to move in the court in the future, you can come to me and I will find a way out for you."
Gao Zhao took a sip of hot tea and continued:
"Wang Prefect, I watched the sky last night when the main star was bright and the guest star was dim. In a few years, the Prefect will resume his official career. In the future, he will even have power over the government. The only thing the Prefect can do now is to wait."
When Wang Yun heard the first half of Gao Zhao's words, his calm heart was suddenly a little excited. However, after he heard that it would take several years, he felt a little disappointed. He couldn't see the end of such days.
Wang Yun firmly believed in Gao Zhao's words. The Eastern Han Dynasty was still very superstitious and had an attitude of awe towards these ethereal things. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Jiao was able to win over the people and quickly gained momentum. He called himself "the great wise teacher" ”, which made the people even more convinced.
After feeling disappointed, Wang Yun realized that he still didn’t know their names and felt a little rude:
"Thank you little friend for bringing me hope. I haven't asked you two my names yet."
"Gao Zhao, Gao Xiuping"
"Chen arrives, Chen Shu arrives"
Wang Yun tried hard to find these two names in his heart. He had been an official for many years, but he had never heard of them.
But he soon forgot about it and started chatting with the two of them.
The three of them chatted in the room for a long time, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the room. It was obvious that the three of them were quite happy.
An hour later, with Wang Yun seeing them off, Gao Zhao and the two walked to the door and were about to leave when something suddenly occurred to them.
He took out two tips bags from his arms and handed them to Wang Yun:
"Here are some silver taels and a strategy. If you accept the silver taels, it will improve your life in the future. There is also a clever trick in the other bag. After the governor becomes an official, he will encounter a big difficulty. You can open it when you are desperate. This trick can help You go straight to the top and have power over everything."
"Remember, open it when you are desperate, otherwise it will not be allowed," Gao Zhao emphasized.
After such a long conversation, Gao Zhao's status in Wang Yun's heart has been raised very high. He increasingly feels that the young man in front of him has extraordinary knowledge, and he has no doubts about what Gao Zhao said.
Taking the brocade bag, he placed it carefully on his chest and patted it. Wang Yun bowed with both hands:
"This kindness will never be forgotten. If there is such a day, I will definitely repay my friend."
When Gao Zhao saw Wang Yun accept the offer, he turned around and left, waving his hands with his back to Wang Yun. Under the reflection of the setting sun, Gao Zhao, dressed in white, looked unusually pure.
Wang Yun looked at Gao Zhao's back and murmured:
"What a master you are."
...
After Gao Zhao and the two disappeared from Wang Yun's sight, they felt a little relaxed for an instant. This was considered to have solved the old friend's entrustment.
Chen Dao was very curious about Gao Zhao's tips. He approached Gao Zhao and whispered:
"Xiuping, can the strategy in the bag save Wang Yun?"
Gao Zhao knew that Chen Dao wanted to know the content, but he didn't say anything, but raised his head arrogantly:
"Uncle Zhi, have you learned that even though we are white, we can achieve our goals by playing whatever role we play in front of whom?"
Gao Zhao said, patting Chen Dao on the shoulder:
"Study hard"
Chen Dao was a little confused:
"Then what do you want to achieve?"
Gao Zhao did not answer the question, but walked forward and said:
"Let's go, I came to Luoyang and it's a pity not to see this hero."
