Wang's living room

After Wang Wei heard it, he didn't have Gu Chun's coldness or Bai Feng's enthusiasm, but he just asked calmly: "Dare to ask Changshi, how did the Bai family do it?" ”

When he heard Wang Wei's words, he glanced at Wang Wei, who was loyal and honest on the outside, and said in his heart:

"None of the heads of the two major families in Yinguan County are idle.

Bai Feng, the head of the Bai family, is experienced in dealing with people and things, and he has a set;

And Wang Wei, the head of the Wang family, seems to be loyal and honest on the surface, but he is actually very cunning.

Everything closely follows the pace of the Bai family, and such a Yin Pavilion County will always maintain the two major families. ”

Anyway, this is a matter of the two major families in Yinguan County, and it has nothing to do with the Fenwu Army for the time being, so it is not easy for me to speak.

After putting away his thoughts, he said, "The head of the Bai family promised to provide five thousand stone of grain for the retreat of the Southern Xiongnu army. ”

When Wang Wei heard this, he immediately said without hesitation: "My Wang family also gave 5,000 stones.

However, I estimate that the Bai family will not be able to take out so much grain at once, and the insufficient part, can my Wang family replace it with gold? ”

Wang Wei knew that his family was weak among the three major families, and his ability was not as good as Bai Feng and Gu Chun.

Therefore, every major thing must be done in accordance with one principle - "as long as the Bai family does it, the Wang family will do it; Follow the Bai family and don't suffer. ”

After listening to this, he smiled slightly, and the things arranged by the lord were two-thirds completed. "Of course you can." ”

Then he chatted with Wang Wei for a few more words, then got up to say goodbye and went back to Pingcheng County to tell Han Cheng the results of his visit to the three major families.

Wang Wei personally sent the frustrated grant to the outside of Yinguan County, and only after he couldn't see the frustrated team, did he turn back, but did not go back directly to the Wang family's mansion, but went straight to the Bai family's mansion.

Wang Wei said in his heart: "The Fenwu Army has made it clear that he wants food, and the excuse is too far-fetched, and he doesn't believe it, how can Bai Feng of the Bai family believe it?"

There must be a reason why the Bai family suddenly took out 5,000 stone of grain to the Fenwu army. I'm going to go to my door and ask, why on earth is spending this money? ”

When he returned to Pingcheng County, it was already past the time of the Emperor.

Although it is not good to disturb the lord's rest at night, the lord has just sent someone to deliver a message: let him return to Pingcheng County and report immediately.

Therefore, when he returned to the Pingcheng County office, he went straight to the house where Han Cheng lived.

A subordinate stood at the door, and when he saw Fu Zhu, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Taishou commanded, if Changshi returns, go directly to the dining room to meet." ”

As he followed his subordinates to the dining room, he muttered, "Report to the dining room?" It can't be the lord waiting for me to eat, right? ”

When I entered the dining room, I saw a large table of wine and delicacies in front of me, and the lord Han Cheng was sitting on the main seat, waiting for him to eat.

Seeing the arrival of the frustrated professor, Han Cheng hurriedly said: "Changshi has worked hard, I haven't eaten yet, let's eat together." ”

Fu Zhu bowed and said, "Thank you for your love, just listen to the order." ”

You're not welcome, after all, when you see a table of delicious food and wine, you've already been 'gurgling' in your stomach countless times in protest.

Frustrated and seated, Han Cheng raised his glass and said, "There are only me and you here, you just let go and eat." Come, I'll toast you first. ”

After a glass of wine, he unceremoniously began to pick up the dishes, and just put the dishes in his mouth, but he didn't expect the dishes to be a little cold, and it was really the lord who was waiting for him to eat.

Frustrated, his heart was suddenly filled with gratitude, and the resentment and anger brought by Gu Chun of the Gu family disappeared in an instant.

was just about to speak, but heard Han Cheng say:

"Changshi eats first, and the matter of visiting will be talked about after dinner."

Frustrated professor felt Han Cheng's meticulous concern, and said: "Thank you for the concern of the lord, frustrated professor is deserved." ”

When Han Cheng heard Fu Zhu say this, he said, "Changshi, don't take everything on yourself. I know everything that happened in the Gu family.

Changshi did things for me, but he was treated like this, this is a dissatisfaction with my Han Cheng, Changshi suffered for me, I am here to pay a tribute to Changshi.

I promised Changshi that within half a year, the Gu family would definitely pay the price. ”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the lord thought that it was all himself, knelt on the ground and said: "The lord's feelings for the maintenance of his subordinates can only be repaid with death." ”

Han Cheng said: "Changshi is talking nonsense again. ”

Quickly helped him up, and then said, "What are you doing here?" We are brothers in the army, and if my brother is humiliated, I will find it for him. ”

With tears of gratitude in his eyes, he didn't know what to say.

Han Cheng looked at his frustrated appearance, and secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Let the ancient family of Lou Fan County disappear in Yanmen County." ”

......

At the beginning of the first month of 192 AD, Han Cheng's second good news to the imperial court finally arrived in Chang'an.

The first time I put it on the table, because it was just the time of the Chinese New Year, Li Ru, who was dealing with national affairs, had already written a reward for Han Cheng and was ready to wait for the reward to be awarded later.

Unexpectedly, within half a month, another big victory came, and after Li Ru received the good news, he thought about it.

It was decided to report to Dong Zhuo and take Han Cheng's matter to the first court meeting of the New Year held on the tenth day of the first lunar month for reward and canonization.

and Dong Zhuo made a plan to throw bricks and lead jade, and told the ministers of the court that as long as they did things for Dong Zhuo, they could get a generous reward.

It has always been Han Cheng's style to do good deeds and leave a name, and he led the soldiers to fight so hard in Yanmen Pass, Bingzhou, at least let the court know that there is a reward, although there may be no material reward, but it is okay to promote himself, after all, many of Han Cheng's official positions are self-appointed.

On the tenth day of the first month, the first court meeting.

After a series of New Year's affairs reports were completed, Xiangguo Dong Zhuo said to the ministers: "Han Cheng is fighting against the invasion of the Southern Xiongnu in the north of Bingzhou, everyone tell me how to reward this Han Cheng?" ”

Since Dong Zhuo came to Chang'an, he has been able to enjoy life more than in Luoyang, and all affairs have been handed over to his son-in-law Li Ru to handle, and only major matters such as canonization of the state pastor will be asked.

But today, when suddenly asked about Han Cheng's canonization, the ministers were caught off guard, and they had their own thoughts in their hearts: Does Dong Zhuo have anything to do with this Han Cheng? Why is it so formally asked in the court?

After all, for Han Cheng's canonization, Li Ru can decide by himself, and logically speaking, Dong Zhuo should not ask the minister in the court.

After Dong Zhuo said this, he thought, "This Han Cheng is doing a good job." It's not for yourself, but you can get some light on yourself.

Now the annexation of the state is his own territory, but he has never paid attention to it. If it weren't for Li Ru's sudden mention of this Han Cheng a few days ago, Dong Zhuo wouldn't have known the news of the Southern Xiongnu's invasion of the state.

Bingzhou is his own place, although he has a grudge against Han Cheng, but Han Cheng helped himself defeat the invasion of the Southern Xiongnu army, which is a fact.

If you don't say anything, what do the governors in other places think of themselves? How can others help them rule the world? People are selfish, who doesn't want to do something for themselves, or do something to work blindly? ”

Hearing Dong Zhuo's question, all the ministers in the court maintained their usual style - not saying a word, this was the consensus reached by the scholars by default.

Because a few years ago, Li Ru had persuaded Dong Zhuo to accept the hearts of the scholars, and Dong Zhuo rewarded the scholars in a big way, but the scholars did not buy Dong Zhuo's account.

Dong Zhuo was angry, his temperament changed greatly, and he was even more brutal and easy to kill, as long as the words and actions of the scholars were slightly disobedient to Dong Zhuo's intentions, they would kill him, which was widely implicated, causing the scholars to hate Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, in the court, no one took the initiative to speak, first, they were afraid of Dong Zhuo, and second, they were tacit understanding between the scholars.

Li Ru had already thought of rewarding Han Cheng, and was just about to come out to speak, but he saw that one person had already come out of the ranks, and when he looked closely, it was Cai Yong in the waiter.

Cai Yong saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "Han Cheng defeated the army of the Southern Xiongnu at Yanmen Pass and defended the people of my Han Dynasty, I think this son should be rewarded well, so that more Han Cheng will stand up and contribute to the Han Dynasty." ”

Hearing that Cai Yong made a contribution to Han Cheng, everyone in the court had different thoughts.

Wang Yun has been secretly actively organizing and preparing for the anti-Dong Zhuo forces, and all the ministers in the court are headed by Wang Yun and see Cai Yong's move.

Wang Yunxin said: "What's wrong with this Cai Yong, how can you help Dong Zhuo's old thief speak after the New Year?"

Dong Zhuo threw Han Cheng so obviously, but it was just for a generous reward to show the world.

Cai Yong actually made a contribution to Han Cheng, it seems that Cai Yong has rebelled, I will hold a meeting tonight to let everyone know Cai Yong's true face. ”

Taiwei Ma Riyan has always been good friends with Cai Yong, and when he saw Cai Yong coming out, he shouted in his heart: "It's not good, Bo is confused." ”

Although Ma Riyan vaguely knew that Cai Yong was listed as the reason for Han Cheng's performance, but at this time, the performance was Dong Zhuo's faction, which was abandoned and hated by the scholars. Even if Cai Yong is in a hurry, it is really not appropriate to be listed now.

Li Ru quietly looked at Cai Yong who was out of the ranks, and said in his heart: "Father-in-law Dong Zhuo has always valued Cai Yong's talent and learning, and likes Cai Yong very much.

Since his father-in-law entered Luoyang, only Cai Yong persuaded his father-in-law to give up riding the Qinggai Jinhua car, and the father-in-law obeyed and changed it to a "soapy car". Today, Cai Yong came out again to help Han Chenggong, could it be that his father-in-law persuaded Cai Yong to take refuge? ”
