Guo Jia's words suddenly made Han Zhan dumbfounded. He originally thought that Zhen Mi was only eight years old, and even if the Yuan family wanted to propose, how could they wait until she was twelve or thirteen years old. Besides, Yuan Xi is still in his own hands, how can this history develop according to the original trajectory?

He took a few deep breaths, waited for his mood to stabilize a little, and asked, "Has Mrs. Zhen agreed to this?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Zhen has already agreed to this." ”

"Bang!" Hearing Guo Jia say this, Han Zhan slapped the table and said loudly, "Hell, how can you agree?" You must know that although Yuan Xi was detained by me, Yuan Shao always thought that he was dead. What does he propose for a dead man? ”

"Although Zhen Yi was a Shangcai Ling before his death, there were many protégés and former officials." Guo Jia explained to Han Zhan: "Once you become a relative of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, then most of Zhen Yi's protégés and former officials before his death will be recruited by the Yuan family. As for Yuan Xi's whereabouts," Guo Jia said this, smiled faintly, and continued, "We have nothing to hide from his capture, presumably Yuan Shao already knew that he was in Jizhou Prison. ”

Hearing Guo Jia say this, Han Zhan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yuan Shao may have guessed that I wouldn't kill Yuan Xi, so he was able to go to the Zhen family so unscrupulously to propose marriage." ”

"My lord, what should we do?" Guo Jia asked.

"What else can I do?" Han Zhan said a little helplessly: "Everything will go naturally, we will continue to detain Yuan Xi, when Yuan Shao is willing to withdraw from Yecheng, we will return the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to him." Han Zhan thought to himself, when Yuan Shao was forced out of Yecheng, he couldn't take the Zhen family away, and then he would go to the Zhen family to propose marriage, maybe Mrs. Zhen would change her mind and marry Zhen Mi to herself.

Guo Jia didn't continue to talk about Zhen Mi, but diverted the topic: "Lord, I wonder how Miss Cai reacted after seeing Cai Shizhong's letter?" ”

"What else can I react to, of course, ecstatic. After all, she has never seen Cai ...... since she married into the Wei family" Han Zhan said this, and asked Guo Jia with some surprise, "Didn't Mr. Cai serve as the general of Zuo Zhonglang in the court, and when did he become a servant again?" ”

"This was not long ago," Guo Jia said with a smile, "Because of Mr. Cai's great talent, Dong Thief has been trying every means to entrap him, constantly promoting him, and even named him the Marquis of Gaoyang." ”

Knowing that Cai Yong was actually a townsman, Han Zhan said a little sourly: "This marquis is just a pavilion marquis, and when Mr. Cai was in a high position, he was actually named a townsman." But when I thought that this was my cheap father-in-law, my heart suddenly became much more balanced.

Guo Jia, who was good at observing words and feelings, noticed that Han Zhan was different from usual, and guessed that there might be something good about him. Then he asked tentatively: "Lord, I don't know when you plan to go to Chang'an to visit Cai Shizhong?" ”

"To Chang'an?" Hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan immediately instinctively shook his head and said, "The Jingshi is about to be disrupted, what is Ben Hou going to do there?" ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Does the lord still think that someone will attack Dong Zhuo and cause chaos in Beijing?" ”

"That's right, that's it." Han Zhan said with a serious expression: "The reason why Ben Hou ordered my uncle to befriend Li Dao, Guo Yan and others is that considering Dong Zhuo's matter, no one in the court can stabilize the chaos, and only Dong Thief's right-hand men can control the Jingshi at that time. ”

When Han Zhan said this, he suddenly remembered what he had seen in the wild history: Dong Zhuo valued Cai Yong's talent and learning, and was very polite to him. Although Cai Yong often made suggestions to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had a stubborn personality and rarely adopted his opinions.

After seeing Dong Zhuo's true face clearly, Cai Yong had the idea of retreating, and he discussed with his cousin Cai Gu: "Dong Gong has a strong personality and is easy to do evil, and he can't succeed after all." I want to go east to Yanzhou, but the road is too far to reach, so I plan to escape to Shandong for a while, how about it? ”

Unexpectedly, Cai Gu said to him: "Your appearance is different from ordinary people, no matter where you go, you will become the focus of everyone, if you want to hide, it's difficult!" It was precisely because of his cousin's words that Cai Yong dispelled his plan to flee Chang'an, and as a result, he became Dong Zhuo's funeral object.

In order to avoid a similar tragedy from happening again, Han Zhan made up his mind to rescue Cai Yong no matter what, and it was a pity that a famous writer and calligrapher like him died at the hands of Wang Yun. So he said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, I have an idea, do you see if you can send someone to see Mr. Cai and invite him to Jizhou?" ”

"Invite Mr. Cai to Jizhou?" Regarding Han Zhan's whimsy, Guo Jia said with some embarrassment: "Even if we send someone to invite, will he agree?" ”

"If we had sent someone to invite him directly, he would definitely not come." Han Zhan said thoughtfully, "But don't forget, Zhao Ji is still with us. If Ben Hou asked Zhao Ji to write a letter to Mr. Cai and invite him to Jizhou, he might be able to succeed. ”

As soon as Guo Jia waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he reminded him: "Lord, don't forget, the affairs of the Chang'an region have always been in charge of the affairs of Chang'an by Xun Changshi. I think it's better to ask him to come here to discuss this matter. ”

Han Zhan thought deeply of Guo Jia's reminder, he walked to the door of the council hall and shouted outside. Rob immediately walked over and saluted him with a fist: "What does the lord command?" ”

"Go and invite Xun Changshi," Han Zhan instructed Luo Budao, "Just say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

After two incense sticks, Xun Yu followed Luo Bu into the council hall. His face was full of questions, so more than half an hour ago, he ended today's deliberations, and at this time, looking for himself, was there anything special happening?

When Han Zhan saw Xun Yu walking in, he took the initiative to greet him: "Uncle, you are here!" ”

Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia, and when he saw his worried face, he asked Han Zhan curiously: "Zhan'er, you are in a hurry to recruit me here, is there anything important?" ”

"That's right, uncle." Han Zhan said tactfully: "When I handed over Mr. Cai's letter to Zhao Ji just now, she was so excited that she couldn't help herself and couldn't wait to rush to Chang'an to see his father immediately. ”

"Zhan'er, this is human nature." Xun Yu said very understandingly: "After all, Miss Cai and her father haven't seen each other for several years, if possible, we still have to find a way to let them meet to comfort the pain of lovesickness." ”

"Uncle, I think you still remember, I said some time ago that the Beijing division is about to be disrupted, and our entry into Beijing at this time is tantamount to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger." Han Zhan said to Xun Yu: "Therefore, in the coming year, we must not easily step into the Beijing Division, let alone meet Mr. Cai." ”

"Zhan'er, even if the ministers in the court want to get rid of Dong Thief, presumably they can control the situation in the court, and there will be no chaos in the world." Xun Yu said carefully: "Zhan'er, don't make a fuss. ”

"Uncle," Han Zhan knew that if Xun Yu was not convinced, then his plan to send someone to rescue Cai Yong might fail, so he said in a steady tone: "Take a step back, even if the ministers of the DPRK and China can control the situation." But Mr. Cai was valued by Dong Thief, and presumably the Minister of the DPRK and China had already included him in the Dong Thief Party. There are eggs under the nest, once the Dong thief is eradicated, can Mr. Cai still get out of the way? ”

Han Zhan's words made Xun Yu's eyes widen in surprise. If Han Zhan didn't say it today, he really hadn't thought about this problem, he thought that as long as Dong Thief was eliminated, then the Han family would no longer be in danger of overturning, and he didn't expect that Cai Yong would have been Dong Zhuo's party in the eyes of others.

Xun Yu frowned and thought for a while, and then asked Han Zhan, "Zhan'er, what are you going to do?" ”

"Uncle, before you came, Feng Xiao and I were discussing how to rescue Mr. Cai." Han Zhan deliberately emphasized: "The manpower of the Jingshi was all arranged by you, so I plan to let you be fully responsible for the rescue of Mr. Cai." ”

Regarding Han Zhan's arrangement, Xun Yu agreed without thinking, but he raised the question he might encounter: "Zhan'er, if Mr. Cai is stubborn and refuses to follow the people we sent to leave Jingshi, what should we do?" ”

"We can do both." Han Zhan said: "Zhao Ji is in the mansion, I can ask her to write a letter to Mr. Cai and ask Mr. Cai to come to Jizhou." My uncle arranged for a reliable person to send the letter to Jingshi. ”

"But if Mr. Cai still refuses to leave Jingshi after reading the letter, what should we do with it?" Xun Yu then asked: "Our people can't be strong, right?" ”

"If Mr. Cai refuses to come to Jizhou with our people," in order to save Cai Yong's old life, Han Zhan gritted his teeth and said: "Then we can't only use force, so let our people tie him up to Jizhou." Jingshi is a place of right and wrong for a long time, and we must not let him stay there any longer. ”

"Okay, since Zhan'er has already thought it through, let's do what you say." Seeing that Han Zhan had taken all the things that should be considered, Xun Yu nodded and said, "Without further ado, Zhan'er, you can go and ask Miss Cai to write a letter to Mr. Cai." ”

When Han Zhan left the council hall and walked towards the backyard, Guo Jia, who remained in the council hall, asked Xun Yu: "Xun Changshi, what do you think are the chances of success in this matter?" ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Zhan'er is a little too taken for granted, does he think that it is so easy to tie up a person in Jingshi?" Therefore, we can only hope that Mr. Cai will readily agree to come to Jizhou after reading Miss Cai's letter, otherwise things will not be easy. ”

Han Zhan hurriedly came to the backyard, he came to the door of Cai Yan's room, lifted the curtain and walked in. The maid was waiting for Cai Yan to freshen up, and when she saw Han Zhan who suddenly broke in, she was startled, and then thought of the embarrassing scene she saw not long ago, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Neither Han Zhan nor Cai Yan noticed the strangeness on the maid's face. Cai Yan asked Han Zhan in surprise: "Tinghou, are you done discussing things so quickly?" ”

Han Zhan grinned, and instead of answering Cai Yan's question immediately, he said to the maid, "You stand down first, and then call you in when necessary." ”

The maid blushed and agreed, turned around and walked outside, and thought to herself: Tinghou is really ridiculous, he just enjoyed the joy of fish and water with Miss Cai not long ago, and he is really not ashamed to come again so soon.

Xun Yu frowned and thought for a while, and then asked Han Zhan, "Zhan'er, what are you going to do?" ”

"Uncle, before you came, Feng Xiao and I were discussing how to rescue Mr. Cai." Han Zhan deliberately emphasized: "The manpower of the Jingshi was all arranged by you, so I plan to let you be fully responsible for the rescue of Mr. Cai." ”
