Chapter 171: Queue for gifts
- Luoyang
At this time, Luoyang City was no longer as panicked as it was at the beginning, although the war was deadlocked, but now it seems that this turmoil can no longer threaten Luoyang.
Since it has reached a stalemate, it will send reinforcements to break the stalemate, but the question of who will be the general has become the focus of contention between the forces of all parties.
Now is not the beginning, at the beginning, Lu Zhi and others were firefighting teams, and the risk factor was very great, and now this is a reinforcement, although it cannot be said that you can eat peaches directly, but it can also be said that the risk is far less than the benefit.
Zhang Rang's mansion was receiving a distinguished guest at this time.
"Cao Sinong, you want your family to lead the troops to make meritorious contributions, and don't ask the general, what are you doing here? I'm not as good as I was back then, I'm losing ground now, don't you see that I don't dare to speak in the court? Zhang Rang was half-spread on the Hu bed, playing with a piece of beautiful jade in his hand, and there were two girls behind him who were supporting him with their bodies, but they were very happy.
"How can the attendant say that! Although He Jin is a relative, he is only a relative outside, and the permanent servant is His Majesty's real relative, and His Majesty is now deliberately staying away from the permanent servant in order to exterminate the thief army, but I understand that in Your Majesty's heart, only people like us are their own people!
Hehe, since these are all their own people, how can they not help each other, you say, right? ”
It was Cao Song who spoke, and he came this time for his precious son Cao Cao.
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Cao Song raised troops in Zhangjiao, He Jin became a general, and Yuan Shao was quite happy when he was recruited into the general's mansion, and praised Cao Cao for his vision and ability to make friends.
But soon Cao Song realized that something was wrong.
This Yuan Shao didn't take Cao Cao to play at all, no, it should be said that those scholars didn't treat Cao Cao as their own at all.
After all, Cao Cao's grandfather was a great eunuch, and this kind of background was not killed because Cao Cao had performed well for so many years.
"Your own people? Didn't I say you, Cao Sinong, did your family's Apo think of yourself as our person? If it weren't for your face, I would have ordered him to be killed when he broke into my mansion with a halberd! ”
"Hey, my rebel is playing bad! Mixed with Yuan Shao's group every day, can it be good? As he spoke, Cao Song took out another piece of jade and put it on the table and said, "But I have a little bit of a chance for this one son, besides, my father..."
"Stop! Stop! If it weren't for the face of the late Fei Tinghou, you would have been able to enter my door? ”
"That's it! Is that! Cao Song smiled flatteringly.
Looking at Cao Song's appearance, Zhang Rang was very satisfied, although Cao Cao did not deal with him very well, but now that the scholar clan led by He Jin was in power, it was appropriate to recommend a middleman like Cao Cao.
What's more, these permanent servants have not spoken in the court for too long, and if they don't speak out, I'm afraid those people really think that the world will be from now on!
When people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead.
"The head of the family, Youzhou Jian Yong asked to see him outside the door, saying that there was something important, and he offered this." A domestic servant walked in with a silk book bowed over, and Zhang Rang took the silk book and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"Take him to the side hall immediately and wait, Cao Sinong, you can go back and wait for news about this matter." After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he got out of bed and hurriedly walked out with his shoes on, Cao Song sighed, and waited for Zhang Rang to leave before he dared to look up at the two girls.
Everything is gone, and I like to sit on a soft seat... Cut!
Zhang Rang came to the side hall, and after a while, Jian Yong came in with a box, Zhang Rang held the silk book and asked, "What is said in the silk book is true?" Guo Tingshi is dead? He also ordered you to serve as the assassin of Ma Qiang? ”
Jian Yong handed the box to the samurai on the side, the samurai checked it and then handed it to Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang opened it and saw that there were two suicide notes inside, he opened it and saw that one was Guo Xun's suicide note to Ma Qiang, and the other was Guo Xun's plea to the imperial court.
The corners of Zhang Rang's mouth curved slightly, and his heart quickly calculated.
Due to the remoteness of Youzhou, Hebei and Qingdao are making yellow scarves, traffic jams, the Luoyang court has indeed not gotten the situation in Youzhou, Guo Xun can be regarded as a person of the eunuch family, once he dies, according to the current situation in the court, it must be a member of the scholar clan to take over, but now there is Ma Qiang to disrupt the situation, and even better is that Jian Yong also brought the documents of Dai County and Shanggu County to protect Ma Qiang.
With local support, coupled with the fact that Ma Qiang has defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Changping, it is not difficult to push the boat to acquiesce to Ma Qiang's history of assassination.
As long as it can be delayed, after the yellow scarf, the scholars will not be able to get Youzhou!
As for whether Ma Qiang is from his own side, hehe, in the political struggle, as long as you are stamped, where is it so easy to change sides.
Cao Cao is the best example, he messes with Yuan Shao every day, and the result? When you really have fruit to eat, no one else will take you to play.
"Why don't you go to see Your Majesty, but come to our house instead?" Zhang Rang asked with a smile, trying to make himself look kind.
Jian Yong clenched his fists with a serious face and said, "Ma Maocai said before, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, if you want to say that you are loyal to Your Majesty, there are only Zhang Zhao and the two permanent servants, in ancient times, only the son harmed the father, how could there be parents to harm the son?" That's why you sent me to see Zhang Gong first! ”
Comfortable!
Zhang rang laughed, and then said, "Okay! Your lord wants to represent the history of Youzhou Thorn, it is easy to have these things, but our family has helped you do it, what good is it? ”
Jian Yong bowed and said, "My lord knows that there is no shortage of gold and silver, only treasures, and I will offer a cart of treasures, please smile at the waiter." ”
Treasure? Zhang Rang waved his hand for the samurai to bring up the so-called treasure, and after a while, a mouthful of boxes was carried up, and then opened in turn, and from inside took out the objects wrapped in wool.
These objects were lined up, and Zhang Rang's eyes were almost unable to move, only to see fourteen tigers of different shapes or pounce or lie down, or roar or sleep, and more importantly, these fourteen tigers are crystal clear, dazzling, extremely exquisite.
Fourteen... This is the meaning of one statue for every ten permanent servants.
Zhang Rang understood in his heart and nodded, these fourteen tigers are treasures, and this Ma Qiang is interested.
If Ma Qiang knew that Zhang Rang thought like this, he would definitely die of laughter, originally Duan Ying wanted Ma Qiang to send gold and silver, but where did Ma Qiang get so much money to give gifts, so he simply let the glass workshop work hard for a few days and made these things to send Zhang Rang.
Ma Qiang didn't release the glass out of the Red Star Camp at this time, and a very important point was that he wanted to rely on these things made of quartz stones to fool Zhang and let these corrupt officials.
"Yes, your majesty will like it."
Zhang Rang said deliberately, and then looked at Jian Yong, Jian Yong didn't understand, and said with a smile, "There are two treasures that are specially dedicated to Your Majesty and Changqiu." ”
The Changqiu here is to say the queen, because the queen lives in the Changqiu Palace.
Zhang Rang beckoned him to offer, only to see a dragon and phoenix more than 50 centimeters high in a huge box was brought up, only to see the dragon open its mouth and teeth, cloud and thunder with him, the phoenix Hong before and after, swallow jaw chicken beak, in the sunlight, shining, as if at any time to feather and fly.
Looking at this pair of lifelike dragons and phoenixes, Zhang Rang assured that Liu Hong would be happy!
Kindness... As long as Liu Hong doesn't know that this thing is worthless.
