Chapter VII: Buying Officials
After entering the Zhongchang Mansion, Yao Jie looked at the palatial mansion, thinking that people often starved to death outside, and sighed in his heart: "It is really unreasonable for the Eastern Han Dynasty not to die." ”
Soon Yao Jie entered a side hall, obviously Yao Jie's level was not enough to enter the main hall, and after waiting for a while, a man with a soft face walked out, "The villain greets Hou Ye!" I wish Hou Ye blessings such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan! "Zhang Rang has been given the title of Marquis by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so Yao Jie said that it was Marquis Zhang's!
Zhang Rang glanced at Yao Jie, and the male duck said in a loud voice: "Get up, I heard that you want to be an official?" Don't know where you want to be an official? ”
"I want to go to Youzhou to guard the border and fight against those foreign barbarians." Yao Jie is neither humble nor arrogant.
This time, Zhang Rang became interested in Yao Jie, and it was the first time he saw someone who wanted to go to the border without oil and water to be an official.
"Then where did you get the confidence to deal with the barbarians?"
"I think I still have some courage, so I want to make a contribution."
"Oh? Then please show me, if you have good ability, Benhou can give you a better official position. "Zhang Rang is interested, you must know that there are many enemies of the Ten Standing Servants, recently Emperor Han Ling's health is getting worse and worse, Zhang Rang is very worried, the rights of their Ten Standing Servants are all tied to Emperor Han Ling, if Emperor Han Ling dies, then their fate can be imagined.
So Zhang Rang has also figured it out recently, no matter how much money there is, people die, and the money can't be taken away, so Zhang Rang decided to develop his own forces, but almost all the officials outside have joined all forces, and now there is a Yao Jie, Zhang Rang decided to investigate, if Yao Jie's ability is not bad, choose him.
Zhang Rang asked people to bring a weapon rack, there are a lot of weapons on it, Yao Jie picked a spear in hand, and waved it, Zhang Rang has also seen the martial arts of various generals of the Han Dynasty on weekdays, and his vision is naturally not bad, Yao Jie finished practicing a set of marksmanship, Zhang Rang applauded again and again.
"Yao Jie, is there anyone else in your family?"
"I am an orphan below, and I have no relatives at home, not even relatives and friends." Yao Jie's words are not lies, Zhang Rang is even more satisfied when he hears it, although Yao Jie has no family and makes him less of a way to control Yao Jie, but it also prevents others from threatening Yao Jie with their relatives, as for loyalty, Zhang Rang believes that as long as there are enough interests, then there will be absolute loyalty, thinking of this, Zhang Rang raised his head and said slowly: "Our family is now lacking someone outside to echo, what do you think." ”
"I am willing to die for Lord Hou." Yao Jie bowed down.
Zhang Rang was pleasantly surprised that he wanted to accept him as his subordinate, and if he had the support of the Ten Standing Attendants, it would be of great benefit to the development of his power.
Although it is possible that he can be classified as a eunuch, he can develop rapidly before the Ten Standing Servants lose power.
"Okay, our family believes you for the time being, you don't have to worry about the official position, our family will pick an official with real power for you, but isn't it good for you to stay in Luoyang? Why go to Youzhou. ”
"Lord Qiqi, my subordinates think that the forces of all parties in Luoyang are complicated, and my subordinates can obtain military merits in Youzhou, be further promoted, and they can also get rid of the surveillance of other forces, and they can respond to Luoyang at critical moments." Since Yao Jie has been attached to Zhang Rang, the title has also changed, and Zhang Rang feels justified when he hears it.
Originally, Yao Jie wanted to go to Bingzhou, but Bingzhou already had Lu Bu, and now Yao Jie didn't want to intersect with Lu Bu, but he was looking forward to fighting Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison.
As for subduing Lu Bu, Yao Jie said that he didn't dare, Lu Bu not only betrayed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but also stabbed Liu Bei and Cao Cao Chrysanthemum, typical ungrateful, and he was also ambitious, Yao Jie didn't dare to put this time bomb by his side.
"What are you missing, since you are already loyal to our family, our family will naturally not treat you badly." Zhang Rang naturally knows how to buy people's hearts, although he is greedy, he is definitely not stupid, he knows that this kind of thing should be willing to be willing to be willing to be willing to give.
Zhang Rang's words made Yao Jie ecstatic, this was really about to doze off and came to the pillow.
So Yao Jie was not polite to Zhang Rang, who was wealthy, and said directly: "My subordinates also need a pair of armor, a BMW and a sum of money." ”
Zhang Rang listened to it and agreed, there are many armor in the treasury, and the royal horse of the BMW Han Ling Emperor can be picked at will, anyway, he doesn't want to spend money, although the only fund makes him a little distressed, but Zhang Rang also knows that this juncture must not be saved, so he waved his pen and gave Yao Jie 3,000 gold, which also made Yao Jie sigh that the rich man is good, and strengthened Yao Jie's mind to take a share of the pie when Shichang is dead in the future.
As for Yao Jie's money to buy officials, Zhang Rang also confiscated it, after all, they are all his own people, and he is not short of so much money.
After speaking, Zhang Rang asked Yao Jie to go to the palace with him to see Emperor Han Ling.
In the palace, Emperor Ling of Han, who almost never deals with government affairs, feels very bored, it is autumn now, the weather is cool, Emperor Ling of Han is also sitting in the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, bask in the sun, suddenly a small yellow door came in to report, saying that Zhang Rang has something to see.
Emperor Han Ling felt very strange, this morning Zhang Rangcai said that he was unwell, and he would go home to rest, and he would come back to him for something.
Speaking of Yao Jie, he is also unlucky, usually Zhang Rang doesn't go back to the mansion much, most of them are in the palace to serve Emperor Han Ling, this time he wants to be lazy, come out to rest and rest, and happened to be bumped into by Yao Jie, as for why Zhang Rang is in such a hurry, of course, he is afraid that someone will make trouble.
Luoyang's various forces have a lot of eyeliner at his door, Yao Jie must have been seen by them, if Zhang Rang waited until tomorrow to see Emperor Han Ling, those guys who were not right with him would definitely find fault, if it was someone else, he didn't care, but Yao Jie was an important chess piece he arranged, and he had to give a good and powerful position, so in order to prevent a long night and a lot of dreams, Zhang Rang still decided to come to see Emperor Han Ling now.
After a while, Zhang Rang walked in and said, "The old slave has seen Your Majesty. ”
"Father doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Emperor Ling of Han was still very close to Zhang Rang, so he said.
"Your Majesty, today the old slave found that a strong man has the courage of ten thousand people, which is comparable to the overlord of Western Chu, and the next day he has the heart of serving the country, and wants to go to the border to serve the country, the old slave sees that he is a general, and recommends it to His Majesty."
"Oh, there are such talents, I don't know where the qi is."
"Your Majesty, you will be outside the palace the next day."
"Announce his audience." Emperor Han Ling felt very strange, Zhang Rang was naturally clear about what his temperament was, today he came to recommend talents, Emperor Han Ling thought that he had received money from others, but now it seems that there is something wrong, and he can't help but be curious, and he plans to see the talent in Zhang Rang's mouth, if he really has the ability, Emperor Han Ling doesn't mind giving him a good official position.
