Chapter 537: It's not the Taiping Road, it's in the court

After Fuquan and his party entered the wine shop, there was immediately a soapy little guy who stepped forward to greet him, howling and warmly coming forward to receive him.

Although this wine shop is a dilapidated small wine shop in Yangzhai County, these small shops are all discerning, and it is natural to see that Fuquan is not ordinary.

This time when he entered the city, because of prior notice, Fu Quan specially changed into a luxurious robe, and there were dozens of stubborn soldiers behind him. That little guy also knows countless people, how can he not guess the identity of Fuquan's rich and noble?

Between words and laughter, Xu Fu asked the little guy to lead them to the place where the singer was playing in the wine shop, and the little guy was a little surprised, his face was strange, and finally he took Fu Quan and the others to a dilapidated couch in a remote corner of the wine shop.

In the wine shop, the guests who were still drinking and eating at the moment were silent when they saw the pair of soldiers in Fuquan, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing and be taken away by these soldiers.

After all, now the Yellow Turban Moth Thief outside Yangzhai County was just swept away yesterday, and Taishou Yin Xiu has been sending people to search for the remnants of Taiping Dao during this time, even if the Moth Thief is pacified, this matter is still not over. Therefore, there are many people in the city who are now being treated as thieves because they have said the wrong things and done the wrong thing, and they have been arrested and interrogated by the official office, and they do not want to suffer such an unjustified calamity.

"And the world is a furnace, and creation is work; Yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper. Dispersal of news, there are regular rules? Ever-changing, there is no beginning! Suddenly embarrassed, how to control it; What is the trouble of turning into a foreign body! ”

Others didn't dare to speak, only the singing voice was still the same in the wine shop, only to see that in that small corner, there was a young man wearing a scarf, with a messy short beard, and a sloppy appearance, who was holding the only wine in his ear glass, while singing as if no one was around.

"Brother Drama! Drama brother! After Xu Fu saw the man, he walked forward quickly, and then he thought that he had been rude, and hurriedly saluted: "The younger brother has seen the elder brother!" ”

"Ash is selfish...... Well? Under the singing of Xi Zhicai, he was suddenly interrupted, turned his head to see, and when he saw that it was Xu Fuhou, he was surprised: "I didn't think it was a virtuous brother!" Come, drink this cup......"

It's just that Xi Zhicai's words fell, and just when he was about to ask the little maid to get a wine ear cup and add a side dish or two, he remembered that he had no money on him, and even the money for the wine still relied on himself to come here often and ask the owner of the wine shop on credit. And the owner of the wine shop has long complained about him, if it weren't for Xi Zhi being a frequent customer, and knowing a lot of celebrities in the county, I'm afraid he wouldn't give him credit at all, and now Xi Zhi wants to invite Xu Fu, how can he expect people to give him another meal of wine and food to invite Xu Fu to eat and drink?

The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing, but fortunately, Xu Fu was only playing with Zhicai, and hurriedly changed the topic with a smile: "There is no need for this, there is no need for this, there is no need for this, the little brother came here today, there is another important matter." ”

"Something important?" Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed Fuquan and his party who came with Xu Fu, and when he saw their clothes, he was slightly surprised, and then seemed to think of something, pointing to Fuquan and asking suspiciously: "Could it be that Brother Fei Xian came with the Han army to quell the chaos this time?" ”

"Brother, God counts!" Xu Fu replied: "This blessing is exactly in response to the call of Fu Pingkou and quelling the chaos with the army!" ”

"When you join the army to quell the chaos, how will your mother take care of you?" Xi Zhi knew that Xu Fu was the most filial person, which was also one of the reasons why he valued Xu Fu and made friends with him, so he was naturally puzzled.

"Returning to my brother, I was forced by my mother to join the army this time. In his words, the man's husband should be determined to serve the country, carry a three-foot sword to kill thieves for the country, and specially order Fu not to think of each other, and to quell the chaos with the army! When Xu Fu said this, his face rarely appeared a little shy, after all, Xu Fu once wanted to take care of his mother, but he did not obey the call, but he was criticized and educated by his mother with such a deep sense of righteousness, thinking that he claimed to be a scholar, and his ideological consciousness was not as high as his mother, and he really didn't know what it meant.

Because the wine shop is spacious, all the guests are not far away, so the conversation between Xu Fu and Xi Zhicai is also heard by those guests who dare not speak out. And many guests, including Xi Zhicai, were amazed when they heard Xu Fu's story for the first time, that is, Fu Quan and others had already known it before, and now they were still touched when they heard Xu Fu tell it.

What a strange mother! It is the nature of parents to love their children, but Xu Fu's mother can give up the love of licking calves for the sake of righteousness, and is willing to let children lift swords to kill thieves and serve the country in the army, which is really a strange mother!

Xi Zhi knew the specific situation, praised it, and then turned his head to look at Fu Quan and the others, and seemed to have thought of something, got up and saluted Fu Quan: "I've seen Fu Pingkou!" ”

After saluting, Xi Zhicai didn't wait for Fu Quan's signal, put on his robe, and sat back on his own table, not caring about Fu Quan's face at all, as if he was just to say hello to Fu Quan.

"Haha!" Fu Quan stopped himself from seeing Xi Zhicai's rudeness left and right, and was about to step forward to teach the other party's soldiers, and then laughed as if nothing had happened, walked to Xi Zhicai's dining table and sat down, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Xi Jun is free and easy, and he is impatient with vulgar etiquette, but when I see it today, I am really a frank gentleman!" ”

"Huh!" Xi Zhicai sighed lightly, and a different color flashed in his eyes at Fuquan, he didn't expect that Fuquan, a child from a big family, could be so forbearant and free, it was indeed the same as the rumors, a little different.

"I saw the drama gentleman today, and I was very happy in my lonely heart, I wonder if the drama gentleman can talk to the lonely and find a quiet place?" Fu Quan didn't say much, and said directly to Xi Zhicai, this Xi Zhicai's appearance just now has already explained that if you want him to be a leader, you must not follow the routine and use common sense to play cards. Instead of respectfully inviting people out of the mountain, it is not guaranteed to succeed and bear the risk of being slapped in the face by the other party, it is better to be more direct, but to let the other party accept it.

"Solid wishes!" On the other side, Xi Zhicai was shocked again, he didn't expect Fu Quan to respect himself so much after he showed no mercy, which made him quite interesting. glanced at Xu Fu, who had been signaling to him beside him, and Xi Zhicai, who knew what he meant, finally decided to see how capable this character could make Xu Fu return to obedience. Let's try Fuquan, if Fuquan, a high-ranking official from the world, can respect and rely on him, a poor scholar, Xi Zhicai is willing to go out.

From the very beginning, he guessed Fuquan's identity, and Xi Zhicai also understood that Xu Fu's purpose in bringing Fuquan on this trip was nothing more than to invite him to come out. He does not shy away from this and does not refuse, after all, only for the official is the dream of these poor scholars who study hard and want to show their ambitions. However, if the other party looks down on him like other clans, and doesn't even give him a chance, but only relies on his talents, even if the other party induces him with good things, he won't be tempted.

Subsequently, Fuquan ordered a small servant to take a few people to the private room in the wine shop to drink and talk. After the little servant got the order, he didn't dare to slack off, and led the group to the private room with a smile all the way.

Of course, on the way, Fu Quan also asked Xi Zhicai how to guess his identity, who knew that Xi Zhicai said that Xu Fu was recruited by Fu Quan and came to Yang Zhai with Fu Quan to quell the chaos. And today, the people under the command of Fuquan entered the county office to drink and feast, and it has long been spread all over the market, and the wine shop is a place with more people, so after seeing Fuquan and others coming with Xu Fu, Xi Zhicai guessed that they were the generals and soldiers of the Fuquan army.

Moreover, the luxurious clothes worn by Fu Quan are not of great value, and they are not something that ordinary generals can wear, and with the rumors that Xi Zhicai heard today, he naturally guessed Fu Quan's identity.

After listening to Xi Zhicai's remarks, Fu Quan didn't seem too surprised, after all, the other party was also a person praised by Cao Cao, and his ability was naturally not lacking. It's just that it is obvious that Xi Zhicai's words are tricky, and his proof remarks are not favorable evidence, so he is mostly guessing, if Fu Quan denied his identity just now, and Fu Quan thinks about it, I am afraid that Xi Zhicai will not dare to insist on his guess.

The way of using soldiers lies in the ever-changing and unexpected, I am afraid that Xi Zhicai has already understood this truth and is deliberately deceiving himself.

When they arrived at the private room, after everyone sat down, the little guy smiled and served the hot soup to these door-to-door guests, and then began to quickly introduce the wine and food in the restaurant.

However, Fuquan obviously didn't believe it, and he didn't expect any delicious food from this dilapidated liquor store, and he had just eaten it at the county office, so he was not hungry. Therefore, after ordering some wine, meat, fruits and vegetables at random, he asked Xi Zhicai to order it, and then ordered the little guy to go down and prepare the wine and food.

After a while, alcohol, meat, fruits and vegetables were brought to the case one after another. Xi Zhi saw this, but there was no etiquette at all, after picking up the chopstick, he picked up the dishes at will, ate and drank by himself, and did not give Fu Quan and others face at all, Fu Quan and Xu Fu also looked at each other and smiled bitterly, because they had expected it, Fu Quan did not have too much dissatisfaction, just took the wine and drink.

Since the Salt and Iron Conference of the former Han Dynasty, the economic policy of the official camp of wine and salt and iron has been relaxed, and in this dynasty, the trade of wine and salt and iron is completely liberalized, allowing private trade and sales, and the state uses this to collect taxes from it, although this dynasty has a decree of "prohibiting group drinking", but also because of frequent natural disasters and poor grain harvest, the Han court has banned alcohol in many places, but the wind of drinking is still popular, up to the dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, all like to drink.

Therefore, although there is no wine, the wine drunk is still the official wine. The wine in this liquor store is naturally official, so it will not be troubled to drink bad wine because there is no food.

After seeing the little guy finish the dishes and leave, Fu Quan also put down the wine glass and signaled to the soldiers around him, as the door of the private room was blocked by the soldiers, Fu Quan started his own conversation.

"I have heard of the great talent of the opera king, and I admire it very much, if the yellow turban moth thief makes trouble today, and the Han family is slumped, I don't know if the drama monarch is willing to go out and help the lonely calm down the chaos?"

But he said that Xi Zhicai was eating and drinking, and when he heard Fuquan's words, after a pause, he asked rhetorically: "The yellow turban is a small mess, Pingkou only needs to be cleared one by one, and it will be determined. ”

In the words, Xi Zhicai first politely refused, and then was surprised after hearing it in Fuquan, and when he couldn't continue, he continued to laugh and said: "What Pingkou is worried about, it's not in Taiping Road, it's just a moth thief, it's difficult to make a big deal!" Only the Han Dynasty court, the struggle in the palace and the palace is where Pingkou's worries lie! ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Quan's eyes lit up, and then asked, "Please tell me carefully!" ”

In fact, Fu Quan, as a person of later generations, naturally knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be quelled, and the reason why he used the Yellow Turban Chaos to ask Xi Zhicai just now was naturally to test the talent and wisdom of Xi Zhicai. However, I didn't expect this guy to pick up his own stubble at all, but directly talked about what happened after he led the troops to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

What Xi Zhicai said is completely pointing to his future development, indeed, as he said, what Fuquan should really worry about is what happened in the Han Dynasty after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified. After all, now that the party has been lifted, the party policy that has been implemented by the Han Dynasty since Emperor Huan will be completely ended, and there will be a more complicated and legal party formation situation in the court.

If this is the case, there is no doubt that the old struggle between the outer and inner dynasties will surely happen again, and this time the struggle will be even more intense. The eunuchs who were used by the imperial power, the party has been in the party for more than ten years, and the party members who have formed countless blood feuds will never be willing to swallow this breath, even if they can be officials, but obviously they will not forget the hatred, the court will obviously fight more fiercely for power, if the time is right, I am afraid that the party members who have suffered countless losses, this time will not give the eunuchs, or even the emperor behind the eunuchs, any chance to seize their rights.

Among them, Fu Quan, as a foreign relative, under the influence of imperial power, was mixed between the party members of the outer dynasty and the eunuchs of the inner dynasty, and if you think about it carefully, you can predict how many attacks he will face in the face of the upcoming situation of the competition for power after the Yellow Turban Rebellion is pacified.

Especially now, with the death of the queen Song's father, the general Song Yu, and the Song family has no outstanding talents, and in the imperial court, the only relatives who are really related to the Song family are Fuwan and Fuquan father and son. However, it is obvious that Fu Wan is a Confucian student, although Gao Ju Si is a lieutenant, but in the next, in the court that pacifies the Yellow Turban thieves and divides the credit, Fu Wan has no chance at all.

The reason is naturally that there is no military exploit after the ambush, and this time the chaos is only Fu Quan, a famous general, who is a foreign relative, and the foreign dynasty party will naturally target him while attacking the eunuch. As for why this is so, think about who the party is cooperating with now, and who is the last straw that pressed the emperor Liu Hong to bow his head and lift the party.

Naturally, it is the current general He Jin, if it weren't for the plan between him and the party, he would operate in it, so that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were close to the party, would have the main military power to quell the rebellion, and then he would take the lead in dissolving the party. Liu Hong was helpless in every way, and under the guidance of Lu Qiang, the middle attendant, until he did not dissolve the cooperation between those party members and Zhang Jiao, he would lift the party for the sake of the country.

Otherwise, if the military power is in hand, even if the party supports He Jin, Liu Hong will not be so compliant. Now that the party is lifted, the party members cooperate with He Jin, and naturally they want to repay the favor, and He Jin's wish, known to the world, of course, is to hope that his nephew will become the crown prince, and then inherit the throne of the Han Dynasty, and his sister will become the queen of the Han Dynasty.

However, if you want to complete this, there is only one enemy in front of He Jin, naturally the old relative Song, and the Song family now has a foothold in the court, and the only ones who can stand in the court are in-laws Fu Wan and Fuquan uncle and nephew.

If this is the case, once the Yellow Turban Rebellion is calmed down and Fuquan enters the court, can you imagine how many political attacks he will encounter?
