38. Know the result
After Liang Xi and Fang Xia waited for the ceremony, they took the initiative to lead everyone to the Taishou Mansion.
Kong Ling herself is sick in bed, and at present, all major and small political affairs are handled by Liang Xi temporarily. In fact, the number one leader in internal affairs is Kong Ling, and the second leader is Xu Jing, because Xu Jing sent an envoy to Xuchang, so it will be Liang Xi's turn to be temporary. No matter what Liang Xi did during his absence, Xu Jing, as Liang Xi's superior, had to ask about the situation.
Xu Jing is a "slippery head", as Kong Ling's military advisor and important minister, he has a deep understanding of his master's family. Guo Jia can guess what Kong Ling means, although he is not as smart as Guo Jia, he can also guess eight or nine. Since this is the case, Xu Jing is also going to start looking for a home. Kong Ling took a fancy to Fang Xia in Xuchang, and he had no opinion on Fang Xia, so naturally he had to pave the way for himself.
However, this kind of thing has to be well measured, not only to let Fang Xia appreciate it, but also not to make people feel that he is betraying the Lord for glory. No one would like a person who betrays his lord and seeks glory, even if Fang Xia has a vested interest, and Xu Jing's actions let her take advantage. Xu Jing, an old fritter, of course, will not leave this kind of big trouble.
He made an expression of concern for Kong Ling and Qian Jun all the way, and then asked Liang Xi about everything.
Although Liang Xi's interest was not high, his boss's questions were answered, and he answered them one by one.
Xu Jing praised Liang Xi for doing a good job, and stopped talking.
Fang Xia was thoughtful, but now she also had a sense of smell, and she vaguely sensed Xu Jing's thoughts.
Although Xu Jing did it very secretively, and he did not give people the slightest hint of words, Fang Xia still really had to accept this favor. Now that her intelligence network has not been spread to Qian County at all, it can be said that she doesn't know anything about this place, and if she can know a little more, she will naturally have more confidence in controlling the situation in the future.
Fang Xia glanced at Zhong Xuan.
Now she is still young, and her body is much stronger than most sick and crooked strategists, so she can still have some energy after such a six-day toss. However, Zhong Xuan is already close to age, and age gives him an advantage, so he naturally has a disadvantage. Zhong Xuan's face was a little pale, and he couldn't hide his tiredness at all.
However, tired and tired, following Fang Xia at this time, Zhong Xuan did not take care of himself, but listened to Liang Xi's narration very seriously.
When he first joined, he followed the journey, if it was in the later life, Fang Xia would definitely be reported for abusing employees, but now, Fang Xia did this, but he trusted Zhong Xuan's cousin. This matter is a matter of importance, if it is not handled well, the situation will not be found in Fang Xia's control and the like. It was because she was trustworthy that she only brought one civil official.
Due to Xu Jing's deliberate guidance, under Liang Xi's narration, the current situation in the entire Qian County is already very clear.
Although Kong Ling was also named Yuzhou Mu by Dong Zhuo before, he, like Fang Xia before, could only take care of one place, and compared to Fang Xia's control of Xuchang, Kong Ling was a standard civilian official, and his military power was concentrated in Xu Chu's hands. If Fang Xia wants to take over Qian County, he must pass Xu Chu's level.
Xu Chunai is a strong man, more than eight feet long, with a thick waistline, almost like a bucket. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to protect the county, Xu Chu relied on his identity as the head of the Xu family and called on many big families in the entire county to work together to resist the Yellow Turban, so that the county could be preserved.
Later, the imperial court sent Kong Ling to appoint the Taishou of the county, originally everyone in the county was a little dissatisfied, they only obeyed Xu Chu, and felt that although Kong Ling was a famous person, but you can't hold your shoulders and can't resist, what use do we want you? Where were you during the Yellow Turban Rebellion? You still want to be a Taishou without merit, dream!
However, Xu Chu is quite reasonable, he also feels that he is a rough man, and it is okay for him to resist the enemy, but it is still a little worse to govern a place. Therefore, after Kong Ling came to visit, promised Xu Chu the official position, and promised not to use his military power, Xu Chu accepted Kong Ling's Taishou on behalf of the local Haoqiang of Qian County.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Xia knew that the purpose of this trip still fell on Xu Chu.
They kept talking, but they weren't slow.
Along the way, the people seem to have been combed, on the main road, there is not a single pedestrian, the road is unimpeded, and you will arrive at Taishou Mansion.
Compared with Xuchang, Kong Ling may not attach importance to this, so it looks very simple. They seemed to be in a hurry, they didn't need Fang Xia to report their identity, the guards saw Fang Xia and the others coming, and directly opened the main gate to greet them, Fang Xia also wanted to say two polite words, but they didn't have time to say it, so it can be said that there was no delay at all.
The internal affairs of Kong Ling's mansion are all in charge of Mrs. Kong. Mrs. Kong's eyes were slightly red, and her face looked a little pale, but she did a good job of face kung fu, and she received Fang Xia and the others in the main hall with a strong fighting spirit. She said: "I was expected to receive the news in two days, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, tired Lord Diao." ”
Fang Xia shook his head, and took the initiative to ask Kong Ling about his current situation.
Mrs. Kong couldn't hold back any longer, and hid her face and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, the maidservant girl next to her naturally went up to comfort her and didn't mention it.
Fang Xia was also a little embarrassed, but she was also a woman, so she didn't need to avoid suspicion, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
Mrs. Kong stopped crying and said, "Lord Diao Chan is tired of traveling and driving, I should have had a good rest and then talk about other things, but my husband can't afford to wait, he has already received the news before, please come in." ”
Fang Xia nodded, pointed at Zhong Xuan and asked, "Yuan Chang is my confidant, I don't know if I can let him go in with him?"
Mrs. Kong said: "I'm sorry, my husband wants Lord Diao Chan to go in alone." ”
Fang Xia said hello to his subordinates and followed the maidservant alone.
This Taishou Mansion is not big, and it only took about a few minutes to reach the destination.
"Lord Taishou, Lord Diao Chan has arrived. The maid whispered outside.
There was a coughing sound in the room, and after a while, the door opened, and Kong Ling leaned tremblingly on the bed after being supported by his subordinates.
After Fang Xia entered, they tacitly retreated one by one, leaving only the two of them.
"I've seen Lord Gongo. Fang Xia saluted first, after all, it is not strange to have many people.
As soon as Kong Ling opened her mouth, she coughed violently again, as if she was about to cough out her lungs. It wasn't until he picked up the cup and took a sip that he pressed it down.
"Lord Diao Chan doesn't need to be polite. Kong Ling spoke very slowly, and it could be seen that he was really not well, but his words were quite clear. After a pause, after a few breaths, he said again: "This time, I am looking for Lord Diao Chan, not for anything else, but because my family knows about my own family, this disease can never be cured again." ”
When he said this, I don't know if it was because of Fang Xia's arrival, Kong Ling's face actually revealed a hint of flushing, and she looked quite youthful and radiant. But he was still a patient who had to be helped when he stood up, and the words "return to light" suddenly appeared in Fang Xia's heart.
Even if she didn't have any feelings with him before, when she saw a person dying, she always felt a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"Lord Gongxu, don't talk about this, you better rest first, diseases can be cured, I happened to invite the famous doctor Mr. Zhang Zhongjing before, and when Mr. arrived, I immediately asked him to come to Qian County first, your illness can be cured...... I'll talk about other things slowly when I'm well. ”
At least at this moment, Fang Xia felt that he had indeed gone too far by treating a dying person like this before.
The human heart is made of flesh, and she is no exception.
It's just that Fang Xia is not a doctor, she can't save Kong Ling's life, so she can only try her best to save his family and fulfill his last wish.
Kong Ling shook her head and said, "Diao Chan doesn't need to be persuaded, my body, I know it myself." ”
"Lord Diao Chan, please let Ling finish this sentence, otherwise I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to say it again. ”
Hearing this, there was a slight sound of movement outside the door, and Fang Xia knew that it was probably Mrs. Kong eavesdropping outside.
She nodded and said, "Lord Gongxu, please say, I won't interrupt again." ”
Kong Ling also nodded slightly and began to speak.
may be because of the relationship between the illness, he used to be famous for his ability to talk highly, but now when he speaks, he is a little confused, as if he thinks of where to speak, even if he thinks about it in advance, he has to waste too much of his mind. Therefore, I can only think one sentence at a time, and think one sentence at a time.
Kong Ling first talked about the current situation.
This situation refers to the current shape of Qian County, the general trend of the world, and he doesn't have the vision to see and talk about it.
In fact, after Kong Ling knew that his life was not long, his first thought was to entrust Qian Jun to Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang. Xu Chu, as a local hero, is also famous and strong, and it is still very good to assume this position. But after thinking about it, Xu Chu is brave and unplanned, he can manage the soldiers, but forget about the land.
Here, Kong Ling also has selfish intentions, he is actually quite a scumbag, because he has no military power, he responded to Cao Cao's call to ask Dong, and whether to send troops has to go through Xu Chu's speech. Because most of the soldiers in Qian County are people from the township, it is naturally incumbent on them to protect their families, but for the country, there is no such high consciousness, and basically everyone is reluctant to go.
In the end, Kong Ling was only able to bring a very small part, he became a soldier recruited after he became the Taishou, and he was playing soy sauce all the time when he was begging Dong, and basically didn't do any work. So before Cao Cao left, the sentence he scolded the princes about the wine bag and rice bag actually made sense. It is precisely because what he said is reasonable that Kong Ling remembers it deeply.
Moreover, Diao Chan is famous all over the world, Kong Ling is very sure that as long as he accepts his affection, no matter what, Fang Xia will definitely treat his wife and young son well. Now the world has been in chaos this year, if it is the peaceful years, his child is only ten years old now, after a few years of experience, he can also be a Taishou, but the troubled times will not give him this opportunity.
After excluding Xu Chu, among Cao Cao and Diao Chan, Kong Ling chose the latter without hesitation.
When Kong Ling was in good health before, he simply held a small meeting, and at present, Xu Jing and Liang Xi have no opinion on this matter, Xu Chu's attitude is a little ambiguous, and he has no obvious statement, but he has no objection, so now it is unanimous vote, and from then on, Qian Jun has changed hands to Fang Xia's body.
"I have already discussed with your subordinates, and I have entrusted everything to Lord Diao Chan. ”
"I hope that Lord Diao Chan will take care of his old wife and young children, and I am very grateful. ”
Fang Xia nodded heavily and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Gongxu." ”
