Chapter 59: Behind the Scenes (2)
"The child has seen his grandmother, his mother, his aunt."
"Okay, good, just come back. Well, grandmother, look, it's darker, it's stronger. ”
"The younger brother has seen the sister-in-law."
"Uncle is well."
"Madam, it's been a hard ......"
At the end of February of Jing Yao's second year, Guan Yi returned to CD. When he met his relatives in this body at the door of his home, Guan Yi's feeling was completely different from before. If when he left here more than two years ago, he thought that Lao Tzu would never come back, and you NPCs are dead or alive and I have a dirty idea. So now, he really made this place his home.
Well, that magnificent widowed sister-in-law has been living in the Guan family for more than two years. And the look you looked at me just now...... However, no matter how beastly Guan Yi is, it is impossible for him to seduce his sister-in-law when his daughter-in-law is about to give birth. So that night, after dinner, Guan Yi slept with his daughter-in-law very honestly.
The next morning, the concierge of the Guan Mansion came to hand over a lot of invitations and prayers.
The so-called invitation is to invite Guan Yi to the host's house as a guest. Generally speaking, it is people with a higher status than Guan Yi who will post invitations. And the worship post is to be able to be received by Guan Yi - now the prosperity of Fuling County is already known to the entire Shu Han, those who have not yet taken up a real job, the second and third generations of officials, and many people in the Yizhou civilian class who have ideas about their careers, want to go to Guan Yi to beg for food.
"Well, Zhuge Siyuan, Dong Gongxi, Fan Changyuan, yo, the three bigwigs of Shangshutai have all sent me invitations. Well, ma'am, even my grandfather invited us to come over. ”
"The concubine has been in CD for a few months, and she has also returned to her parents' house several times. On the one hand, my father praised you for managing Fuling County very well, especially for opening the Fuxing School, and my father and three brothers were very impressed. But he also criticized you for not understanding etiquette and attaching too much importance to goods, which damaged the reputation of the family. ”
MB's wants to let the people and the barren Fuling County be governed, how can you do it without making money? Qian Zhou, you idler who doesn't have a backache when you stand and talk, if you have the ability, you can also go to the county to be a guard. Oh, by the way, your main energy now as the leader of the capitulation faction is to poison the prince, so that the prince is also full of surrender defeatism.
"Huh?! The crown prince, the king of Anding, the king of Xihe, the king of Xinping, the king of Beidi, the king of Xinxing, the king of Shangdang...... His Majesty's adult sons all sent invitations......"
"Hehehe, husband, who made you make such a big splash in Fuling County? Needless to say, the prince doesn't need to say that the other princes don't have real fiefdoms, and there is no possibility of seizing the heir, so how can they do if they don't want to find a way to make money? ”
"Hey, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat! Some time ago, he was slaughtered by Yan Yu's old puppet in Yong'an, and this time he went back to the CD, so many mouths stared at ...... husband"
"Giggles, husband, the concubine didn't say anything for her father and brother, what do you mean by saying that you are complaining there?"
"Huh? Hehehe, my grandfather wouldn't have opened this mouth. His interest is not in money. Well, madam, I will ask you to instruct the subordinates in the family to reply to the posts one by one. These bigwigs, princes or something, since they have made posts, they still have to go to meet them. But in the last few days, it won't work, so I said that I would come to the door another day to bother. ”
"Wow. But husband, what should I do with these prayer posts? ”
After Chen Qiang mentioned this question, Guan Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It is undeniable that there must be outstanding talents in the land of Bashu, just look at the few high-ranking officials from Yizhou in the Shu Han Dynasty now: Qian Zhou and Zhang Yi are quite good talents, although Luo Xian in Badong is not famous now, but the traveler knows how powerful this person is...... However, since the Shu Han regime was a foreign power, the deliberate suppression of local people in Yizhou by the Jingzhou faction in power was real. Therefore, the current Shu Han regime, on the one hand, is the increasingly scarce talents of the Jingzhou faction without roots, which in turn leads to the high-ranking officials in the Shu Han government having to pull out the tall sons among the short ones, and one generation is not as good as the next. On the other hand, a large number of local talents in Yizhou are not reused, and they are increasingly dissatisfied with the Shu Han regime.
Strictly speaking, Guan Yi's faction is the Yuancong faction, which is not the same thing as the Jingzhou faction. But in the past, Yuan Cong was also an outsider to the people of Yizhou, and they were often confused with the Jingzhou faction. Therefore, in the past two years, Guan Yi has consciously wooed the descendants of Yuan Cong, and did not hesitate to offend the bigwigs of the Jingzhou faction, just to create an impression to the people of Yizhou: I am not the same as those Jingzhou factions who deliberately suppressed you! Our Yuancong faction is an independent faction!
Now it looks like it's working a little bit.
"Well, the news from the palace, Your Majesty has set to summon you in three days. I can't be too ostentatious until then. Let the porter pass a word, and those who have handed in the prayer post will be met one by one after my majesty sees them. ”
"Uh, uh......"
"What else does Madame have to say?"
"Father, I hope you can take the time to come over."
"I'm going to see my grandfather now, so let's go out to meet two very important people today, and I've already made an appointment. My grandfather's place is set for tomorrow. ”
As soon as Guan Yi returned to the CD, he was anxious to see the two people, one was of course Liao Hua, and the other was Huang Hao.
Needless to say, Liao Hua has been the guardian of the Guan family for many years. Although Guan Yi has now temporarily emerged in the political arena of Shu Han, the more this is the case, the more Liao Hua must be respected. Therefore, the day after returning to the CD, Guan Yi immediately went to meet Liao Hua very openly - there were five carts accompanying gifts.
As for Huang Hao, there is no way. Now that so many hungry wolves are staring at him, and without a more vicious gelding to protect him, he is afraid that he will be torn to the ground.
"Xiaguan Fuling is too guarded by Guan Yi, meet the nine thousand years old!"
Late that night, Guan Yi changed his posture of swaggering through the city and visiting Liao's mansion during the day, and quietly entered Huang Hao's mansion through the back door alone. After seeing Huang Hao, he shamelessly put the honorific title of Wei Gong Zhongxian on Huang Hao's head abruptly.
"Nine thousand years old?!" Huang Hao was slightly stunned and reacted to Guan Yi's nickname, and immediately turned his face: "Zifeng, be cautious, how dare our family call it nine thousand years old." ”
You're not honest in your mouth, but you're honest in your body. I didn't see my eyes squinting into a slit.
"Nine thousand years old is Your Majesty's control of the inner court and the balance of Shang Shutai. If it weren't for the 9,000-year-old, how could I be as prosperous as I am today? So, you can afford this title! ”
"Hehehehehe......" Huang Hao seems to love Guan Yi's title deeply, and he no longer has an official relationship with Guan Yi in terms of title: "It's just Zifeng's opinion, Dong Gongxi, Zhuge Siyuan, and those people hate our family deeply." That Zhuge Siyuan also went around to tell people, saying that our family is Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang of today's Han Dynasty. ”
"Nine thousand years old, Dong Gong Xi, Zhuge Siyuan and others, they don't learn and have no skills, they read too little, and they don't understand the importance of nine thousand years old to the imperial court."
"Oh, interesting. It's the first time we've heard that Zhuge Siyuan has read too few books. That's the prime minister's son. ”
"When the prime minister was alive, he was busy with state affairs and lacked discipline for this guy...... Back then, Zhao Xiangzi, the founder of the Zhao State, was besieged by Zhibo in Jinyang and could be destroyed overnight. His subordinate Zhang Mengtan persuaded the Han and Wei families who besieged Jinyang with Zhibo with his incorruptible tongue. made the Han and Wei families fight against Zhibo. Thus laying the foundation for the division of Han, Zhao and Wei. Afterwards, Zhao Xiangzi rewarded his merits, but the first merit was given to a person named Gao He. Zhang Mengtan is only a second-class merit. Zhang Mengtan asked Zhao Xiangzi: This Gao He didn't do anything, how can you give him the first credit? ”
"yes, why?"
"Hehe, nine thousand years old. Zhao Xiangzi explained it like this: When Jinyang was about to break the city, everyone thought that the Zhao family was going to perish, so the ministers were not very polite to me. Only Gao He still strictly followed the etiquette of the previous monarch and ministers to me. So he's the head ...... So, nine thousand years old, your role in the court is like Gao He. And Dong Gongxi and Zhuge Siyuan, can they compare to Zhang Mengtan? ”
"Humph! They also deserve to be compared with Zhang Yingying? Hey, we've seen a lot of things today. Zifeng, you told this story very well. We love it. ”
"Where, the main thing is that nine thousand years old is indeed comparable to Gao He. Nine thousand years old has worked too hard for His Majesty, and the lower officials have some supplements here, and please accept it with a smile. Only when the health of the nine thousand years old is good, His Majesty's mood will be good. Your Majesty is happy, that is the blessing of my great man! ”
Dealing with a eunuch is actually very simple: you have to respect him, or at least make him feel that you respect him very much. And then there is - take the money and smash it!
Guan Yi entered Huang Hao's mansion alone, of course, it was impossible to really bring any supplements. He was carrying a gift slip signed by himself.
"After all, the lower official is a border minister, and if he openly befriends the inner servant, there is nothing trouble for those corrupt Confucians to find the lower official, but they are afraid of being nine thousand years old. So I only brought a gift slip with me. Nine thousand years old can let the subordinates of the house go to the shop of the Mi family business to cash in. I'm sorry for the trouble for the 9,000-year-old, so please bear with me. ”
"No hassle, no hassle, very thoughtful. Well, Zifeng, let's talk about your Fuling County, I want to beat you a lot of autumn winds when I return to the CD, right? You can rest assured, you have already made a great contribution to the country by supporting the Yongan Corps with the power of a county! As long as our family is here, I see who dares to find trouble with you without opening their eyes! ”
That's what you want! The master's such a cheap performance is finally worth it!
