Chapter 48: Go back to the house and rest
Xue Yun directly said the identity of the young man, which really caught Zhang Rang and the others off guard.
They originally thought that Yuan Shao would pretend not to know, and even denied it, saying that they had not seen any teenagers or anything like that.
Because if that were the case, Zhang Rang would think that Yuan Shao was deliberately deceiving them.
If a stranger looks for you and doesn't reveal your identity, it will surely arouse the suspicion of others.
If Yuan Shao said that he hadn't seen it, they would have a plan for the next step, and in the end, Yuan Shao had to listen to them.
But because he said that he had seen it and told the identity of the young man, there was no way for Zhang Rang and others to implement their plan.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Zhang Rang coughed.
asked, "Then I don't know what Your Majesty talked about when he saw Yuan Gong?" ”
When Xue Yun heard him say this, he obviously wanted to inquire about the details of his conversation with Liu Wei.
So he pretended to be angry and said, "What? The small talk between our monarchs and ministers, do you want to report to your father-in-law Zhang? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, we are ministers in the same hall, and we are all thinking about the emperor. Since Yuan Gong doesn't want to say it, we won't talk about your affairs. Come, let's drink. ”
Xue Yun's sudden change of face also made Zhang Rang feel angry.
When has he been said like this, even the current saint is a puppet who is played with by himself.
A Yuan Shao, what qualifications does he have to say such things to himself.
If he hadn't talked about cooperation later, he would have asked people to take Yuan Shao down now and repair it properly.
He was not at all worried about Yuan Shao's elite generals, and he believed that Yuan Shao would not lead them to fight him.
Because to do that would mean rebellion. At that time, he can use the name of quelling the chaos to send his own dragon army to clean up Yuan Shao.
At the same time, it also reminds all the princes in the world: You'd better not be upside-on, otherwise Yuan Shao will be a lesson for you.
And Xue Yun's tone of speech suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he was also watching Zhang Rang's reaction.
Xue Yun analyzed that Zhang Rang was a pampered person, it might be the first time that someone had spoken to him like this, even if he beat himself up, Xue Yun would not lead troops to attack him.
Because of that, it gave Zhang Rang a reason to dispatch the Dragon Army.
But Zhang Rang actually held back, it was the same as Xue Yun thought.
This Zhang Rang must have something to ask for, and this matter is not a trivial matter.
Zhang Rang took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.
drank a glass of wine, and then said, "What happened just now was something wrong with Zhang, and I ask Yuan Gong not to take it to heart." ”
The other fathers-in-law also couldn't believe that Yuan Shao would be so presumptuous.
If it was someone else, he would have been in a different place at this moment.
Zhang Rang said slowly, "I heard that Yuan Gong has won two big battles recently, that is really gratifying, come, I will toast Yuan Gong." ”
Xue Yun was not worried that the wine and food were poisonous, because at the inn, the grandfather said that Zhang Rang wanted him to come to the house to talk.
If he died suddenly, Zhang Rang would not be able to escape suspicion.
At that time, the little emperor Liu Wei had a reason to uproot the ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang and regain power himself.
Zhang Rang has been able to control the government for so long, and naturally he is not a person who does not know the current affairs.
A Yuan Shao's life, and his own life, he Zhang let his own life, which is more important than his own clearly.
Xue Yun replied, "It's all for the Han world, to resist the thieves, this is the duty of our courtiers." ”
Xue Yun spoke very modestly, not arrogant at all, and did not intend to take this opportunity to talk to himself and praise himself.
But Xue Yun's modesty caused Zhang Rang's unusual disgust.
He wished that Yuan Shao would talk to himself and blow himself into the sky.
Because only at that time, Zhang Rang could push the boat down the river and say the things that the two of them wanted to cooperate with.
Even if Yuan Shao refused at first, he and the people around him also praised Yuan Shao on the side, making Yuan Shao fluttering and unaware of why.
At that time, the possibility of Yuan Shao's army being used for himself was greatly increased.
It's just that he sees that Yuan Shao is so calm and calm, and it seems that he doesn't eat this set, and he can be happy in his heart to have a ghost.
So he said on the side, "Yes, yes, yes, we are courtiers, and we are all solving problems for the emperor." Just Chong Yuan Gong's words, a few of us will toast Yuan Gong again. ”
After that, there were ten of them, you have a cup, and I will toast Xue Yun with a cup. Obviously, he planned to get Xue Yun drunk.
After seeing Xue Yun drunk, Zhang Rang said, "Gong Yuan, your army is extremely strong in combat, so I wonder if the capital is attacked by gangsters, will you help me Zhang Rang?" ”
Xue Yun said in a daze, "Yes, of course it will, once something happens in the capital, Yuan will definitely be the best." It's just that I heard Your Majesty say that around this Luoyang City, there are 150,000 elite troops stationed there, and the name seems to be called the Dragon Army? ”
After listening to Xue Yun's words, everyone was shocked, because the Dragon Military Empire was secret, and no one knew about its existence except for the previous emperors.
Zhang Rang also knew that there was such an army when the first emperor was dying.
He didn't expect that Liu Wei, the little emperor, would even tell Yuan Shao this secret.
Although he was shocked in his heart, his expression remained the same.
laughed and said, "Dragon Army? What Dragons? Yuan Gong, I'm afraid you're drunk. In this Luoyang City, only the remnants of less than 10,000 soldiers were defeated. If the empire still has such a large army, how can it tolerate the Yellow Turban thieves to rebel? ”
Zhang Rang was killed and did not admit the existence of the Dragon Army, because in addition to being his own life talisman, it was also his biggest killing move, and he didn't want this secret to be known by too many people.
Xue Yun could hear that Zhang Rang wanted to deny the existence of the Dragon Army, so he didn't dwell too much on this issue.
said, "Maybe I'm mistaken, I don't know if Brother Zhang has anything else to say?" If not, I see that it is getting late, and I have to go back to the inn and take my leave. ”
"Yuan Gong is slow!" Zhang Rang stopped Xue Yun and hurriedly said, "Yuan Gong called me Brother Zhang just now, so can I become brothers with Yuan Gong, and from now on we will share blessings and difficulties!" ”
Others are also waiting for this moment, if Yuan Shao agrees, then it proves that Yuan Shao, as well as the military power in his hands, are all in his own hands.
Everyone looked at the drowsy Yuan Shao, Zhang Rang directly glanced at the person next to him, and the person hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and was about to pull Xue Yun's hand and press the handprint.
was just pushed away by Xue Yun, and at the same time, the piece of paper was also split in two.
"No, it's not too early, I'm going back. It was a troublesome thing to go back late and be arrested by the soldiers patrolling the city. Xue Yun stood up and was about to leave.
When everyone saw that Yuan Shao was leaving, they were suddenly very anxious, if Yuan Shao regained consciousness, he would definitely not form an alliance with them.
Then everything they did before will be in vain.
Zhang Rang said, "Since it's getting late, Duke Yuan should rest in my mansion, so that he won't be troubled by the people patrolling the city." ”
As long as Yuan Shao lives in his own house, he will try to let Yuan Shao press his handprint.
Then came two beautiful women with fancy branches, they came to Xue Yun's side, and were about to help him go back to the house to rest.
Suddenly, a subordinate ran into the hall and said, "Master, there is a man named Wen Chou outside the mansion, who said that he was a general under Yuan Gong, and said that he would take Yuan Gong back." ”
