Luoyang, Cao Fu.

"Master Cao, don't come unharmed."

"How can Marquis Zhang have time to come to the little old man's house today, please come in."

After Cao Song received Zhang Rang's famous assassination, he hurriedly ran from the house to the door to greet him, this is Zhang Rang! At the same time, Cao Song also had some doubts in his heart, although he had dealings with the permanent attendants in the Forbidden Palace from time to time over the years, but this Zhang Rang suddenly passed the house today, which also made Cao Song, who resigned at home, puzzled, if it was said that Zhang Rang came to him to do things in the months when he was a captain, but now that the old man has no official position, Zhang Rang will not come to catch up with himself, right? Does Old Ghost Zhang have such an idle heart?

Seeing that Cao Song, who was once the third duke, came out to greet him in person, Zhang Rang had a reserved smile on his face, and took Cao Song's arm and the two old men into the mansion together.

When he got to the seat, Zhang Rangcai whispered to Cao Song mysteriously: "Guo Sheng is going to die." ”

"Huh?" Cao Song was shocked, Guo Sheng was in the middle of the day, and asked, "What's wrong with Guo Changshi, is he sick?" ”

Zhang Rang shook his head, still with a signature kind smile on his face, as if the permanent servant who was about to die in his mouth did not know him, "It's Liangzhou to get a horse, and it's normal for the old lady to not know, the news that came out of the court today, Guo Sheng's fake son in Chang'an was targeted by the horse, and it was quiet for a few months, and last night a letter wrapped in more than a dozen volumes was sent to Luoyang, and the evidence of Guo Sheng's family was turned out." ”

Cao Song frowned, he has been in the court for a long time, and there are indeed many clean officials under his buttocks, but Mrs. Cao's 'good way to make money' is definitely not one of them, can you not be afraid of getting the evidence of the crime several years ago at once?

"No one said anything good for Guo Changshi?"

"How dare you!" Zhang Rang frowned, the small appearance on that face was as comfortable as being at home with an old friend, "The old lady is not in the court, his majesty's eyes are staring at the old slave in the court, just waiting for the old slave to intercede with Guo Sheng, that look, I am afraid that the old slave will mention one more sentence, and it will be difficult to protect himself, the old slave is still like this, then the people below, who dares to speak." Seeing that it is to raid the family and exterminate the clan. ”

"Ahh

Raiding the family and exterminating the clan, what a crime that is, Cao Song's face was shocked, but what he thought more in his heart was that Zhang Rang ran to his house and said what these things were doing. "That Ma Yue is just a Jing Zhaoyin, and he acts like this, but he is too tough."

"The old lady is right!" Zhang Rang sighed for a while, and said from his mouth: "According to the appearance of the little pony, I am afraid that the whole Yang Party will not be protected." The old slave was not sure of his heart all of a sudden, and he came to the old lady's house to ask you to help think about it, what do you think...... What official position will Your Majesty reward him with next? ”

"What does Marquis Zhang mean by this?" Compared with Zhang Rang's worries, Cao Song is not afraid of anything, the old man has been dismissed, is it difficult for idle Fu to be managed by Jing Zhaoyin at home? smiled: "Do you think you have to transfer the pony back to Luoyang to be the middle of the imperial history?" ”

Zhang Rang waved his hand and said: "It's not like that, the main thing is that this little pony does things against common sense, who knows what he's thinking in his head." Your Majesty is to let the Yellow Turban thieves be afraid, and now the diligent government affairs are not good, no, today the court also promoted Sun Jian, the speaker on the spot, to be the Changsha Taishou, and ordered officials at all levels to strictly investigate the assassination of Shi and Taishou's authority, it seems that the little pony this time is to inspire His Majesty's determination, we are a few old slaves, in Your Majesty's heart, it is not worth those young and strong. ”

Those young men, Cao Song shook his head with a little joy in his heart, who else could there be in the court? The general He Jin was the leader, and the shogunate was headed by Yuan Shao, the son of the Yuan clan in Runan, Bao Xin, the cavalry captain Bao Xin, who was released outside the general's mansion, He Miao of Henan Yin, Yuan Shu, the general of Hu Benzhonglang, and Bao Hong, who supported the wind on the right. Fu Xie, the Taishou of Hanyang County, Liangzhou, and Cui Jun, the son of Cui Lie, the Taishou of Xihe County. Of course, Jian Shuo in the Forbidden Palace, Jing Zhaoyin's Ma Yue...... Could it be that the son of the old man Cao, Cao Cao, the talented man in the clan who served as a waiter in the palace at the age of eighteen, is not a young man?

The power of these young people is getting stronger and stronger.

Cao Song looked at Zhang Rang with a heartfelt face, but his heart was beating the drum, talking to someone like Zhang Rang is always tiring, you know very clearly what this old eunuch wants from you, but you never know what he wants. You think it's true from the bottom of your heart, but it's often fake, you think it's fake, but what he says is the truth.

The smartest people in the world are piling up into the palace to do things, Zhang Rang, who has been in the forbidden palace for most of his life, is obviously the best among them, looking at Zhang Rang's wrinkled old face, Cao Song can't help but sigh in his heart, is there anyone in this world whose heart this old guy can't see?

"The old slave came over today and there is nothing to do, mainly because I am afraid that you are idle at home and do not know the direction of the wind in the middle of the court, the old slave plans to let his own fake son walk around with the pony more recently, this person is affectionate, unlike the one who has no head and no brain, it is not a bad thing to move around more." Zhang Rang got up with a smile and said goodbye: "Now that you know about this, the old slave will leave." By the way, the old slave heard that your son is called Meng De, I remember that the old slave also gave him a ride captain, I heard that he has a good relationship with the pony, you can also let him walk around with the horse more, after all, the situation in the DPRK and China is chaotic, no one can tell whether His Majesty will be on a whim, to Ma Er really get a royal history Zhongcheng, you say yes. ”

Cao Song nodded disappreciatively, got up to send Zhang Rang out of the house, and watched the car of the Hou Mansion drift away, and the more the old man returned to the room, the more he thought about it, the more flavorful it became.

What is Zhang Rang doing today? Just let yourself be careful, won't you? He mentioned Cao Cao and mentioned Shaozhuang. When it comes to Shaozhuang, the first thing that comes to mind must be Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu. These two plus Cao Cao are of little use.

Cao Song shook his head, it must have nothing to do with the Yuan family, Yuan Kui's old man has been dormant for so long, no one knows what he thinks in his heart, in short, the young people of Cao Mansion and Yuan Mansion together will not have any accidents, nothing will happen, then it is not Zhang Rang's purpose.

Think about it again, that's Ma Yue, Jian Shuo. These two plus Cao Cao, yes!

Cao Cao killed Jian Shuo's uncle in battle, and he had a mortal enemy. Ma Yue has a good relationship with Cao Cao, and he also has a good relationship with Jian Shuo, does Zhang Laogui want his son to spoil the relationship between the two of them?

Zhang Rang was scared.

Knowing what you want the old man to do and why the old man wants to do it, the next thing will be easy. Cao Song thought, but then, Cao Song put on a bitter face again, can he not do it? Even if he knew what Zhang Rang was thinking, he still didn't have a chance to choose, and he was played by Zhang Rang.

Cao Song's family wealth is hundreds of millions, and this money is not all justifiable. Especially in Zhang Rang's last sentence, no one can say whether Ma Er will really be the middle of the imperial history, he must let his son have a good relationship with Ma Yue.

"Well, I still can't play with this old ghost."

Sighing, Cao Song pushed open the door of the mansion, called the little servant and said, "Meng De, find him." ”

"Back to the master, Master Meng De is not here." The little servant said respectfully: "The son went to Huaisi this morning to talk to the son. ”

"Ah Hide, this kid is always messing with Cao Ren. Alas. Cao Song sighed, Cao Ren has gathered hundreds of rangers between the Huai River and Surabaya, and he doesn't do anything serious all day long, Cao Cao doesn't get along with Cao Chun in the palace, but always runs outside the city to find Cao Ren's gang to make Cao Song feel that he is not doing his job, so it is better to find Ma Yue!

"When he comes back, tell him that the old man is waiting for him in the study."

"No."

……

The winter of the fourth year of Chungpyeong was sharper than usual, and the snow fell heavier, and Ma Yue was nervous at all times in the last few months, and it was not easy to govern a county, especially in the three major areas of Gyeonggi.

In addition to Yang Dang Guo Sheng, he has become famous all over the world unconsciously. is no longer a martial name, but a real meritorious service, upright and not afraid of the powerful...... with a reputation for viciousness.

Bao resigned and left Ma Yue, but the heroes under his command all stayed, and even more good people went to Chang'an to want to join Ma Yue's command, after some rectification, many of the people of Jing Zhao Yin stopped the idea of moving out, and even some people rushed back from the surrounding places to make up for household registration in the counties, and reclassified under the rule of Jing Zhao Yin. After the destruction of the Yang clan, all the officials in the county related to the Yang clan in Baling were pardoned, and even so, there were still many vacant positions of officials, and the imperial court allocated a group of Lang officials to take up the post, injecting more new strength into Jingzhao.

Cao Cao went back and forth a few times, this is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Ma Yue, although the two of them had a little estrangement, but the two who came together again are still very hot, after many years, the two of them have changed a lot about politics and military affairs, and they are more mature than before. So when they are more mature and sit together, it becomes not so easy to talk.

Ma Yue was keenly aware that Cao Cao had a strong sense of purpose when he sat with him and chatted, and the scope of the conversation was nothing more than Qingliu being a eunuch, as well as the affairs of the court, and he was no longer so comfortable.

Cao Cao also felt that Ma Yue had become scheming, even if he was talking, it was often Cao Cao who was talking, and Ma Yue said a few words from time to time, cherishing words like gold.

More often than not, they will drink all night long, leaving the political affairs of the day behind, Ma Yue strokes the qin, Cao Cao sings, and the brothers around them drink and laugh, and the sword dance continues.

But there are very few days of such gatherings.

When friendship is mixed with clans, factions. Talking turned into an ordeal for two young friends.

It's better to get drunk.

Jian Shuo has also been here a few times, because His Majesty often orders people to come to Jingzhao to ask about politics, but since he bumped into Cao Cao in Jingzhao Mansion, he has never been here since. Later, Li Jian of the Middle Yellow Gate or Pei Ruo, the cavalry governor of the West Garden, came and went frequently, bringing His Majesty's edicts or rewards.

The fourth year of Zhongping came to an end in the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one in the palace banquet this year dared to give Ma Yue a look, except for the empress.

Almost all the officials in the court will smile and bow their hands when they see Ma Yue, whether it is Qingliu or a eunuch, no matter what their backs are, no one will look at their faces in person, even He Miao, they will bow their hands.

Ma Yue indulged in the respect given by others, smiling.

Although he knew that they respected because of their deeper fears.
