Chapter 3: Take refuge in Zhang Rang
Back at the inn, Dian Wei said: Why did my brother come back so soon, Zhang Jie told Dian Wei about today's humiliation, and Dian Wei said angrily: Pi Fu'an dares to do this, I will kill him. Seeing Dian Wei like this, Zhang Jie was very moved in his heart, no matter what, he still has such a good brother.
Zhang Jie said, forget it, this is nothing, just let the dog bite it. Those who do big things must learn to endure and hide, and remember not to be impulsive in the future, Dian Wei nodded and said: Got it.
Brother, I want to discuss something with you, what's the matter?
I want to buy some gifts to visit the shopkeeper of Luoyang Building, and ask him to lead the way to ask for an official position, will the shopkeeper agree? Dian Wei asked.
I think he'll be willing, and he's always been polite to me when he said yes last time. Well, I'll go with you in a moment. The two chatted for a while, then went to the street to buy some tea and dried fruits and other gifts and went directly to the shopkeeper's house, the shopkeeper is called Wang De, it turned out to be a tenant of Zhang Fu's family, there are more than 40 years, and the Zhang family has been with the Zhang family for more than 20 years, and the Zhang family is developed to help the Zhang family manage Luoyang Building, which is Zhang Fu's henchman. When I came to Wang De's house, it just so happened that Wang De didn't go to the restaurant today, but he was at home.
Wang De is now half a big family, and there are many slaves and maids. Zhang Jie asked to see Wang De, not long after, Wang De received Zhang Jie and the two in the living room, Dian Wei stood outside the door and didn't come in as if secretly protecting Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie said: I have seen Uncle De, Wang Dedao: Mr. is polite, please sit, the two of them knelt down and sat down, Zhang Jie said first: The boy came today to ask Uncle De to take me to meet Zhang Fugongzi, Wang De knew his intention and said: Is Mr. ready? Zhang Jie was strange and said: Do you need anything to prepare?
Wang De saw that Zhang Jie didn't understand the meaning, so he said: Mr. If he goes out under Zhang Houye, he may offend Luoyang Shizi, with He Jin, Cai Yong, Lu Zigan and others, does Mr. understand?
Now Zhang Jie fully understands that Zhang Rang is a eunuch group. He Jin is a group of relatives, and the official worships the general in charge of the world's military power, plus the Yuan family and other scholar groups, which were originally three-legged. And He Jin somehow got into the water and got involved with the Shi clan, he himself killed the pig guy, the butcher, and relied on his sister He to get Liu Hong's favor. All the way up, the He family gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor for Liu Hong, Liu Bian, which is even more remarkable now, promoted to the queen, and He Jin was later promoted to general.
Zhang Jie thought about it, Lao Tzu is afraid of a hair, when the time comes, he will get a magistrate, Lao Tzu will go to recruit troops and buy horses, the power from the barrel of a gun is the same in any era, someone with a gun is the king of grass. Dao: Thank you Uncle De for reminding me, but a certain surname is Zhang and Zhang Houye, maybe he is still in his own family, so he wants to join Houye's disciples. He Jin and others are regarded as grass mustard. If Zhang Houye wants to deal with him, it will be effortless to destroy him.
Wang De heard Zhang Jie brag like this, although he didn't like it, but he was also very happy to see that Zhang Jie was willing to worship Zhang Rang's subordinates, after all, wealthy scholars are generally not willing to be with Zhang Rang. Said, good, Mr. go back first, and go to see the master tomorrow to try to help Mr. achieve what he wants. After Zhang Jie left, Wang De thought about it, Zhang Jie didn't look like a big talker, was there really a way to deal with He Jin? Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and immediately shouted: Prepare the car!
Wang De came to Zhang Fu's house and met the master, Zhang Fu is the son of Zhang Rang's eldest brother in his thirties, fat and fat, but he is ruthless, see Wang De to meet him, and say: Is there anything wrong with Uncle De? Wang Dedao: Mr. Zhang Jie, a storyteller in Luoyang Building, has a great talent, and he came to find a certain person today and wants to join the door of the waiting master.
Zhang Jie? Zhang Fu thought for a while and said: Is that the one who said that he was talking about the story in our restaurant? Yes.
Hum! When it comes to what great talent a calligrapher has, Uncle De won't be blind, right?
Wang Dedao: It shouldn't be wrong, the poems he wrote are like advanced scholars, and the stories he made up are beyond the reach of ordinary scholars. He also said that it was effortless to destroy He Jin. Yes! Zhang Fu was also surprised: Did he really say that? Wang Dedao: Yes, if you really say that, I don't think he is a boaster, maybe he can really succeed. Zhang Fu thought about it for a while, now that my uncle is fighting with He Jin, if someone can really kill He Jin, I will recommend it to my uncle, and I will definitely make my uncle look down on me, and when my uncle is happy, won't I have everything?
Zhang Fudao: In this way, you and I will go to my uncle's house immediately and recommend it to my uncle.
Then Zhang Fu Wangde got into a luxury carriage and went straight to Zhang Rang's mansion, not long after the carriage stopped at the door of a luxurious mansion, this is Zhang Rang's mansion, very close to the palace, Zhang Rang's mansion covers an area of hundreds of acres, it is simply a miniature version of the palace. When they came to the door, Zhang Fu and the others went directly up the steps into the house, and asked the next person if the uncle was there? The maid said: The master has just returned home and is resting in the back hall. Quickly go and report to my uncle, saying that I want to see him. After a while, Zhang Rang let Zhang Fu enter his study. Uncle, Luoyang Lou came to a big house and wanted to worship his uncle.
Well? Zhang said. What kind of talent? Zhang Fu: It should be a down-and-out son of a poor family, who has been telling stories and storytelling in Luoyang Building a few days ago? Is that the storyteller who laughs and laughs? Zhang Rang asked. Recently, Xiaoao Jianghu has been very hot in Luoyang, and of course Zhang Rang knows. Zhang Fudao: Yes, he also said that it would be effortless to destroy He Jinru.
Hmph, Zhang Rang is unhappy, how to destroy He Jin effortlessly? Do you believe that? Zhang Fu saw that Zhang Rang was angry and regretted a little, and said: Wang De has always been honest and will not exaggerate, he recommended Zhang Jie to me, it should not be too bad, the nephew knows that his uncle has always attached importance to talents, so he wants to recommend it to his uncle, he said this, Zhang Rang thought about it, there are indeed no talents around him, and the average wealthy scholar is not willing to be with him. Besides, He Jin's pressure on him was too great. So after thinking about it, he said: Is Wang De here? Call him in!
After a while, Wang De walked inside, knelt on the ground, and said: The villain has seen Hou Ye, Zhang Rang waved his hand, get up, Nuo! Wang De got up.
Zhang Rang asked: What did Zhang Jie tell you? Then Wang De told Zhang Rang about Zhang Jie's conversation with him and some of Zhang Jie's performances in Luoyang Building, and Zhang Rang closed his eyes and thought for a while. Dao, our family has been short of talents recently. You both think that Zhang Jie is talented, you can bring Zhang Jie to see me tomorrow, it just so happens that our family is free tomorrow. Promise! Zhang Fu and Wang De replied together, and then left Zhang's house. It didn't take long for Zhang Rang to report to Zhang Rang what Zhang Jie said in Cai's mansion, as well as that song, Yongmei. It turned out that Cai Yong was holding such a gathering of scholars, and Zhang Rang also sent eyeliner. Hearing that Zhang Jie was humiliated, and he also scolded a group of scholars for being villains, Zhang Rang was happy, hehe, whether you have talent or not, if you dare to scold the scholars, you will have an appetite for our family, my generation is not alone!
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, a carriage came to the door of the inn, Wang De walked into the inn, Zhang Jie saw Wang De coming to him and thought that maybe Wang De had done it, and then greeted each other a few words. Wang De took Zhang Jie to see Zhang Rang, and when he heard that he went directly to Zhang Rang's mansion, Zhang Jie was also excited, and whether he could occupy a place in the troubled times depended on his performance this time.
As soon as he entered the carriage, he didn't expect someone to be in the carriage, Wang De introduced: This is a certain master, Zhang Fu Gongzi.
Zhang Jie said: I have seen Zhang Gongzi, Zhang Fu: Dao, Mr. does not need to be polite, sit down. Then the carriage started, and it went very slowly, about half an hour. The carriage stopped at Zhang's Mansion, and Zhang Jie got out of the carriage and almost dropped his jaw when he saw Zhang's Mansion, dozens of steps. How much does it cost to spend such a large mansion, in fact, the palace of the emperor's high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty was not as elaborate and luxurious as in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But in just one word, atmospheric! This is what Xiao He said to Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty, if it is not magnificent, it cannot be Weijiahai. So in the Han Dynasty, the houses were very large.
After the report, I walked into Zhang Rang's mansion and saw Zhang Rang in the living room, only to see that Zhang Rang's face was white and beardless, he was a little thin, his back was a little rickety, about fifty, and his eyes were lifelike. Zhang Jie bowed and greeted Hou Ye, Zhang Rang listened to Zhang Jie call him Hou Ye very useful, because most people like to call him Zhang Changshi, but he still likes to listen to Hou Ye.
Zhang Rang looked at Zhang Jie and saw that he was tall, and he nodded his head, saying: Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat, Zhang Rang's voice is a little sharp, a little hoarse, and it makes people very uncomfortable to listen to. Zhang Rang opened his mouth and said, I heard Fu'er say that Mr. wants to enter my door and enter the office? I wonder what job Mr. wants to get into? Hearing this, Zhang Jie thought to himself, are you willing to be a state pastor if Lao Tzu wants to be a state pastor?
Zhang Jie, said: The boy has just entered the official career and asked the master to arrange it, but he didn't dare to think about it, Zhang Rang thought to himself that he was still sensible? I asked again, Fu'er said that Mr. is going to kill him, I wonder if Mr. can teach me?
Hearing this, Zhang Jie understood that this was a test for him, and if he was really talented, he would definitely have to be reused, otherwise he would be sent away casually.
Zhang Jie thought for a while and said: Destroy the Nine Clans. It's very simple for Hou Ye, but has Hou Ye ever thought that if He Jin is destroyed, there will be Li Jin, Wang Jin, etc., Hou Ye is afraid of all the officials in the inner court, and the Son of Heaven knows it. If the general in charge of the world's soldiers and horses is also replaced by someone who waits for the master, what do you guess the Son of Heaven will think? Silk!!!!! Zhang Rangju was shocked, yes, let's take charge of the inner court, if we take charge of the world's military power again, won't the son of heaven be a puppet? Can Liu Hong agree? Although the Son of Heaven is dim, he is by no means a fool, and he hates his means, otherwise he would not engage in any party rebellion. Zhang Rang thought to himself, if the general is also from our family, I am afraid that when the time comes, the Son of Heaven will only give our family a cup of poisonous wine. Zhang Fu was also shocked, and he also wanted to understand this.
Then, Zhang Rang said: But He Jin is against our family everywhere, and colludes with the Yuan family, so our family endures it?
Zhang Jie said: He Jin is a butcher, and he is in the Ming place, it is not difficult to deal with him, the more he deals with you, the more the Son of Heaven will rely on Hou Ye, because the Son of Heaven is also afraid that he will do reckless things. Therefore, Hou Ye should learn from the border generals to adopt Kou Zizun. Hearing this, I laughed, so what should our family do? Just let it go?
Zhang Jie said: Hou Ye should divide He Jin into an army, instead of destroying He Jin, such as the eighth lieutenant of the Son of Heaven's Xiyuan. Hou Ye can arrange some henchmen to master it, but it can't be too obvious, for example, officers below the rank of lieutenant should also master some. For another example, local states and counties should also arrange some of their own people for foreign aid, which is also a way back. Zhang Rang understood, nodded and said, "Mr. is talented, with Mr. to help, why worry about how to enter the husband?"
