Zhong Yan was actually a little reluctant to let Pei Qing go to Yingchuan to take charge, because in this way, the order of Yingchuan would be stable, and their family would have no way to manipulate the market and gain benefits from it.

But now that the major families in Changshe County have agreed, if only he resists, then after Pei Qing takes charge, their family will definitely be suppressed.

Although his elder brother is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, Pei Qing is a Taishou of two thousand stones, and his status is too high, plus Pei Qing still has the army in his hands, which belongs to one of the warlords, if the other party really cuts to their family, even Zhong Xuan has no way.

So in this case, Zhong Yan could only compromise, and at the same time contact the families of Yingchuan counties, such as Yingyin Xun clan, Yanling Yu clan, Kang clan, Xu County Chen clan, Xu clan and Yang Zhai Fan clan and so on.

There are also people in these families who resist Pei Qing's accession, such as Guo Jia from Yangzhai and Xun's children from Yingyin, but after all, they can't change the overall situation, and they can't guarantee the safety of Yingchuan, in this case, Guo Jia and Xun's children secretly left Yingchuan and went to Hebei to join Yuan Shao.

Although there is a lack of support from Xun, one of the most influential families in Yingchuan, this does not affect Pei Qing's entry into Yingchuan, because the major families are also worried about their safety, in fact, now the problem of bandits has been basically solved, but Dong Zhuo's ferocity is what everyone is afraid of, especially Dong Zhuo has continuously sent troops to plunder Yingchuan in the past two years, which makes them deeply worried, so after deliberation, it was unanimously decided to invite Pei Qing to enter Yingchuan to govern.

So one day a few days later, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the gentry of Yingchuan counties gathered in Changshe, sat in a carriage, and went to the foot of Woniu Mountain under the guidance of Tang De, and then walked to Woniu Mountain Cottage together, asking Pei Qing to govern Yingchuan and temporarily replace Yingchuan Taishou.

For such a thing, although Pei Qing was willing in his heart, he also refused on the surface: "Thank you for your love, but Qing is afraid that I will disappoint you, after all, I am the Nanyang Taishou appointed by the imperial court, so naturally I want to take office in Nanyang, why do I stay in Yingchuan instead?" If the above is traced, am I not derelict in my duties? ”

Since Tang De came by order, he naturally knew Pei Qing's intentions, so he said: "The envoy is wrong, although the envoy is ordered by the imperial court to Nanyang Taishou, but also the minister of the Son of Heaven, both for the minister of the Son of Heaven, since he should share the worries of the Son of Heaven, such as today's son is not worried about Nanyang, but Yingchuan, this place has been in war for a long time, the people are in dire straits, and they are eager for the competent officials to lead them to resist strong enemies and stabilize production. Besides, Nanyang is now stolen by the later general Yuan Shu, this man has many generals, abundant grain and grass, and can be recovered urgently, Yingchuan is only a stone's throw away from Nanyang, so that Jun can temporarily garrison Yingchuan, on the one hand, it is to stabilize the people, practice soldiers and horses, on the other hand, negotiate with the general, take back Nanyang, the best of both worlds, isn't it beautiful? Why do you want to reject our kindness and lose the opportunity to share the worries of the Son of Heaven? ”

Tang De's words made Pei Qing feel very satisfied, and I have to say that this remark is very decent, which not only avoids the embarrassment of Pei Qing's forcible occupation of the county, but also represents the intention of the Yingchuan gentry to retain, and also reminds everyone that Pei Qing did not give up on taking back Nanyang, just for the people of Yingchuan to temporarily wronged themselves, showing his open mind.

Even Zhong Yan and the others are now very shocked by Tang De's performance, in their original cognition, Tang De is just a half-hung literati who likes to collect poems and texts, and his level of knowledge is at most equivalent to the primary school level of reading crooked books for a few years (the primary school here refers to Mengxue, that is, literacy, writing and feudal moral education), but now the other party's ability to think and speak all make them impressed, and even awe-inspired, because even their highest level of learning is Fanqin, I'm afraid I can't say such a decent thing.

"This Tang De is simply making rapid progress, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand miles a day, his level of speech is really high, especially this mind, it turned out to be a sour rotten literati who is obsessed with poetry and has insufficient talent, but now, he has already become the best among people, this is really curious, what happened to him? What a change! ”

"I've long heard that Tang De is just a sour Confucian who likes to collect poems, but now I understand that hearsay may not be true, Tang De is really not simple, it seems that the previous rumors were either maliciously slandered by someone, or this person deliberately hid it."

......

The Yingchuan gentry present had their own thoughts, but they all reacquainted themselves with this Tang De, and they no longer dared to despise him, and at the same time, they were even more full of expectations for Pei Qing, because how could a character like Tang De who could make a person like Tang De look forward to so much be a simple character?

And at this moment, Zhong Yan saw a familiar figure, and suddenly shouted in disbelief: "Pei, Master Pei, Mr. Wenxing, is it you?" Why are you here? ”

Zhong Yan had visited his brother Zhong Qian in Chang'an before, and he had seen Pei Qian in it, and knew that this was the son of Shang Shuling of the Dynasty, so his heart suddenly shook and he asked.

Pei Qian smiled faintly, and then arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the second son of Zhong, forgive me for being clumsy, I couldn't recognize you, the reason why I stayed here is, of course, to help Pei Yuanjun on the orders of my father, I won't tell you, he is the most outstanding person in the younger generation of my Pei family in Hedong, and my father naturally wants to focus on training, and I expect him to make greater contributions to the imperial court." ”

Zhong Yan was originally a little reluctant to Pei Qing's ruling Yingchuan, because he relied on the identity of the Yingchuan Zhong family, and he still looked down on Pei Qing, a young man from a poor family, but he didn't expect that the other party was the leader of the younger generation of the Pei family in Hedong, and he was also the figure that Pei Mao focused on cultivating, and the reluctance and contempt in his heart suddenly disappeared completely, and Zhengse said: "Even Pei Shangshuling values Pei Yuanjun so much, what does the villain have to say?" From now on, I, the Zhong clan of Xu County, must only make the king's horse the first to look forward. ”

Hearing Zhong Yan say this, the other gentry knew Pei Qian's identity and Pei Qing's importance, and they all respectfully announced their allegiance to Pei Qing, and at the same time invited Pei Qing to Yingchuan to govern with great sincerity.

Pei Qing repeatedly shirked, but everyone became more and more enthusiastic, and finally Pei Qing had no choice but to agree to temporarily enter Yingchuan: "Thank you gentlemen for your kind invitation, if Qing refuses again, it will be a little unkind, since this is the case, Qing will be reluctant to settle in Yingchuan temporarily, but we need to say in advance, Qing's land is in Nanyang after all, and he will return to Nanyang in the future. ”
