Chapter 142: Getting What You Want
After a period of discouragement, I returned home, it seems that the matter of looking for a reward for military merit in the capital is hopeless, here, the price is expensive, although Lu Peng sent gold worth 70,000 yuan, but it can't maintain the livelihood of the three brothers for long, it is better to go back to my hometown with this money, in order to make a comeback, anyway, the signs of the war in the Han Dynasty have appeared, and there will be opportunities in the future.
Zhang Fei was unwilling, Guan Yu had nothing to do, so the three of them packed up and prepared to go home.
Originally, if this was the case, Liu Guanzhang's fate would be rewritten, and the three of them might die in Lin Quan, and the Three Kingdoms would also change color.
As a result, at this time, Liu Bei saw five other pieces of jewelry given by Lu Peng, these five pieces of jewelry were genuine, Xu Jie was in line with the purpose of diverting Liu Bei's attention and covering up his sinister purpose, but at this time, it was a snake to add to it.
When Liu Bei saw these five pieces of jewelry, he couldn't help but move in his heart, since the way of the ten permanent servants is not working, then they might as well take the door of the upright people of the imperial court, the sworn enemies of the ten permanent servants, with the help of these two forces discord, maybe there can be a glimmer of hope.
So he left Guan Zhang and the others to continue to pack their luggage, and Liu Bei paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking carefully.
The capital he has left is only these five pieces of jewelry, and he must use it on the blade, and give it to someone who can speak in front of the emperor, and after thinking about it, he suddenly remembered Zhang Jun in Langzhong.
Zhang Jun in Langzhong, who has assisted the two dynasties of heaven, has the reputation of daring to admonish by virtue of his qualifications, and this person is upright, and he can indeed move around.
The decision was made, and immediately ordered the two brothers of Guan Zhang to stop packing their bags, pick up a piece of jewelry, and rush directly to Zhang Jun's mansion to ask to see him.
Liu Bei jumped up and down in the capital, taking his royal identity to swagger around, and the dignitaries also heard about it, at this time Zhang Jun heard that Liu Bei was coming, so he received him with a kind of courtesy of a scholar.
Liu Bei saw Zhang Jun, and did not mention that he had visited Zhang Yong, but only said that he had repeatedly made military exploits, but was blocked by eunuchs, and now he was trapped in the Jingshi, and asked Zhang Jun to come forward and seek justice for himself.
Liu Bei really grasped Zhang Jun's weakness this time, first, Zhang Jun, who claims to be a loyal man, must speak out in this matter, and secondly, Zhang Jun has a close relationship with Lu Zhi and Zhu Wei, and regards himself as a loyal minister of the court, Zhang Jun agreed to the request of Liu Bei, who was aggrieved and tearful, and of course he also responded to Liu Bei's request for him to accept the gift.
So Zhang Jun entered the court the next day, and the Hajj emperor directly admonished: "In the past, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, all of them were ten permanent servants who sold officials and lords, not relatives and friends, no money to come, whether it is a loyal minister or a good minister, as long as there is an enmity with them, they must try their best to kill, in this way, the world is corrupt officials and cool officials, and there are no loyal people, now in order to pacify the chaos in the world, please ask the emperor to kill the ten permanent servants and reward the meritorious ministers, then the root cause of the disaster will be eliminated, and the world will be peaceful." ”
At that time, Zhao Zhong, who was one of the ten permanent attendants who was by the emperor's side, was shocked at that time, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in front of the emperor, shouting injustice again and again, and there was no such thing.
At this time, Zhang Jun began to explain the facts and reason, among which the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang spoke: "When the Yellow Turban thieves were in trouble, not to mention that the generals of the court and the central government killed the thieves, they were the righteous people in the countryside who had the great Han Dynasty in their hearts, and they also broke their families and went to the country together, especially the best ones, when they were the clans of today's saints, Liu Bei, the blood of the royal family. So he told Liu Bei's various achievements.
Only then did the emperor know that there was such a talent in his own family, and he was happy in his heart at the moment, so he said to Zhao Zhong of the Ten Standing Servants: "It is indeed a pity that such a hero buries the wilderness, you go down to arrange, Liu Bei is, well, reward a military merit, in order to calm the heart of the hero in the world." After finishing speaking, he turned around and retreated directly, returned to the harem, continued to dress up his merchants, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the inner palace, and traded back and forth on the commercial street he created. However, the only business that makes him make money here is to sell the official mantle, and all kinds of official positions under him are marked with a clear real price, which is really a sure profit, and it is precisely because of his absurd behavior that after his death, he was given a temple name called Ling.
The explanation of the temple number of Emperor Ling is that the chaos does not damage the spirit, that is, it does not play cards according to the right reason, which is always inexplicable, but in the end there is no intention of dying because of him. There are a few words at the end, which basically continue the meaning of this word, such as sadness, sadness, etc. This is the emperor name only that the king of the dead country has.
For example, this time the emperor arranged to reward meritorious people, originally Zhang Jun meant that killing the ten permanent servants and then rewarding the military merits was because of the existence of the ten permanent servants, so that the low-level heroes were discouraged and the world was in chaos.
As a result, this emperor turned out to be because he did not reward military merits, so that the heroes were discouraged, and the world was in chaos, so the matter of rewarding military merits and making heroes ambitious should be handed over to the ten permanent servants.
Isn't this full screwing.
So the ten permanent servants were uneasy in their hearts, and after discussing together, they came to a conclusion, this time Zhang Jun, this kid, suddenly jumped out and made such a scene, it must be those who have contributed to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they have not been rewarded, so they have resentment in their hearts, in order to avoid trouble, let's send them away. ”
So a new wave of military merit rewards began, such as Sun Jian, who also went to the battlefield to fight, and when he was rich and had people, he gave a county Sima title and happily took office. There is also Cao Cao, because his father is a eunuch, according to the view that the eunuchs in the world are one family, and some people were originally officials, so they gave the high-ranking officials of the captain of Xiyuan, hoping that Cao Cao could become his minion.
Liu Bei was also among the rewards, but Zhang Rangji hated Liu Bei for playing himself with stalls, plus no one had no money, so he gave an Anxi county lieutenant, and Guan Zhang and Ma Budu were sent away.
This is the same person who has different lives, the master of one-third of the world, and there is a huge difference at the beginning.
But for Liu Guanzhang's reward, Zhang Rang, who was played by Liu Bei with fakes and fakes, was unwilling, so he ordered the inspector of the place to look for Liu Bei's little feet, but Zhang Fei, who was in trouble, beat the eyes of the Son of Heaven violently, and the proud Guan Yu asked for resignation, and Liu Bei, who had no idea, obeyed the two brothers.
The wheel of fate went to the righteous disciples again.
