Chapter 49: The Small Talk of the Wise

During the Chinese New Year, the friends Miao Miao Wuji who came to visit were all unrelated people, and most of them came to ask for help, such as the business routes in the Western Regions to give some convenience, or to arrange some positions in the court for the children and nephews of the family......

If the front yard of Yuan's mansion is big, today it is almost full of all kinds of characters, there are nobles, there are shopkeepers of commercial houses, and even some relatives of the Yuan family have also rushed over from Wancheng, such New Year's greetings are almost every year, Yuan Yun has long been accustomed to it, the only thing that is not used to this year is that there are less brothers like Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan, but there is one more Guo Jia who is always smiling, and there is a Zhong Xuan with a warm face, which is more surprising should belong to Jia Xu.

Now Yecheng is engaged in the struggle of the Son of Heaven, a group of diehards refuse to agree, and more people hope that Cao Ang will inherit the unification as soon as possible, so the quarrel between the two factions in the court every day from morning to night is indeed very boring, so Jia Xu applied for Cao Ang, and then returned to Luoyang.

"Yuan Hou's mansion is really a city, and this lively scene has never been seen in my Guo family." When Guo Jia spoke, he also muttered to the group of people with his mouth.

Yuan Yun looked at the location of the front courtyard in front of the house, and saw that the eldest sister Feng Xuan had divided the front yard into two roads, the aristocratic officials entered the door to the left side courtyard, and the side courtyard on the right was naturally prepared for those businessmen, although Luoyang is now an economic city, but the identity of the businessmen has not improved, and it is definitely not possible to let the noble officials and the businessmen sit together.

After looking at the various people who came to visit, Yuan Yuncai said to Guo Jia with a wry smile: "Naturally, there are many people who want to visit your Guo family, but every time someone else goes, Guo Jia's military master never gives a good face, and who dares to come and go to the door to ask for it." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "If I don't deliberately keep a straight face, these people will kick their noses in the face, how can I have the leisure to waste time with them, these people actually come to visit for their own small interests, if it weren't for the fact that I am an important official in Luoyang now, where will these people take care of me, so I don't see the best, and I get angry when I see it." ”

Yuan Yun heard Guo Jia say this, he could only shake his head helplessly, Guo Jia was originally a very selfish person, and he would never color people he couldn't get used to, let alone deal with these people, but most of Guo's entertainment was taken care of by Guo Yi, and because of this, Guo's industry has developed rapidly in recent years.

After Jia Xu heard Guo Jia complain, a smile immediately appeared on his old face, and he said: "Someone comes to the door to ask for help to prove that we are still valuable, which is a good thing, and in a few years, when those younger generations come up, I am afraid that there will really be nothing to do with us old guys." ”

Zhong Xuan also nodded at this time and said: "What Mr. Wenhe said is very true, many of the current officials in Luoyang have come out of the academy, they have learned differently from us from the beginning, and the knowledge they have mastered is also aimed at the development of Luoyang. ”

Guo Jia snorted when he heard this, and said: "I came to Luoyang to enjoy the blessings, who knew that I would have to work, and I had to go to the government every day to report, which was really very unhappy, if the young man came up, then I really wanted to go home in the wilderness as soon as possible, and then enjoy it comfortably." ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, he immediately blew his beard and said: "Your Guo family is now a talent like Guo Yi, you are naturally carefree, and you can rest assured that everything will be explained, our Zhong family is different, there are few outstanding children in the family, and the old man is very anxious now." ”

Yuan Yun Zhong Xuan said this, and immediately objected: "Zhong Yu, the eldest son of the Zhong family, is not an outstanding son, the old man Zhong is probably modest, now that the King of Wei has succeeded to the throne, Zhong Yu was immediately transferred to Qingzhou to guard, you can imagine the degree of trust, and the Zhong family will naturally have Zhong Yu's support in the future, so why worry?" ”

Zhong Yu is naturally very satisfied with his son Zhong Yu, the reason why he said what he said just now is actually a disguised show off, which several smart people naturally know very well, so Yuan Yun deliberately squeezed it like this, so as to make Zhong Yu more happy.

Sure enough, Zhong Yu listened to Yuan Yun's words, and his face immediately burst into laughter, but he still said unscrupulously: "Zhong Yu is still young, he can't have a good experience for a few years, it's useless, it's okay to go to Qingzhou, just go to exercise, although I Zhong Yu only have this one son, but I must not get used to it, so all my colleagues in the back must be like an old man, and be strict with dogs." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, Old Man Zhong can't say if there will be a son in the future, only God knows this kind of thing."

As soon as Yuan Yun spoke, Zhong Xuan immediately laughed embarrassedly, Guo Jia had a mocking look on his face, seeing that Zhong Xuan immediately changed from embarrassment to embarrassment, Jia Xu's unlucky reaction, he was not surprised at this age, even if Yuan Yun said that Zhong Xuan would have children at this age, it was definitely a disguised ridicule, he didn't think there was anything, several people were old acquaintances for many years, and Yuan Yun's current status was no longer the child of the year, so occasionally joking with each other was naturally very common.

Yuan Yun was the only one here who didn't react, he didn't think that what he said just now was ridiculing Zhong Xuan, because the Zhong Hui who destroyed Shu with Deng Ai in history was born to Zhong Xuan, an old man, in his seventies.

Jia Xu saw that everyone's jokes were over, and Zhong Xuan had enough stinky farts, so he changed the topic and said: "Xu Zhi took hundreds of officials to force Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to abdicate, but this matter made Yecheng uproar, and the court simply exploded, and many old-fashioned factions demanded that Xu Zhi be executed, but the king of Wei only reprimanded a few words at the court meeting and it was over, with this attitude, many officials who saw the wind and made the rudder finally understand the thoughts of the king of Wei, so now there are more and more people who expect the Son of Heaven to take the throne, and the old man estimates that it is good, At the beginning of spring next year, there will inevitably be a result of this. ”

Zhong Xuan also nodded when he heard this: "King Wei is now the desire of the people, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the emperor, this must be very clear to everyone, but some stubborn people should still give some lessons." ”

Guo Jia heard Zhong Xuan say this, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "We must not participate in this matter, since the King of Wei left us in Luoyang, he hopes that we will take care of this side and stay away from the disputes in the court, so unless the King of Wei directly gives an order, we can't participate in it." ”

Yuan Yun didn't say anything about this, this matter was actually set up, so he wasn't worried, he also received a letter from Queen Fu a few days ago, hoping that Yuan Yun could help some, that is, to save the lives of their husband and wife.

After Yuan Yun read the letter, he immediately replied to the letter, and also sent a letter to Cao Ang, which naturally mentioned that Liu Xie would be demoted to the Duke of Shanyang, and then sent to Shanyang County, so that he would fend for himself, because Liu Xie was the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty no matter what, and even if he wanted to kill, Cao Ang could not do it.

Cao Ang was very happy after receiving Yuan Yun's letter, because Yuan Yun didn't mention anything about the Zen position, or when he Cao Ang ascended the throne, and directly talked about how to deal with Liu Xie, the son of heaven, later.

While Cao Ang was happy, he also wrote down Yuan Yun's suggestion, the only thing that surprised him was why he had to give Liu Xie the title of Duke of Shanyang, but these were small things, and he didn't have to take them to heart at all, with Yuan Yun's full support, Cao Ang felt much more at ease.

Yuan Yun's reply to Queen Fu was naturally very simple, that is, he agreed to the other party's request, and he must ensure the safety of their husband and wife, and plan a good ending for their later lives.

Yuan Yun has always felt that he is taking advantage of such a thing as free favors, so he promised Queen Fu that he was naturally unconditional, which moved Queen Fu.

"Once the King of Wei ascends the throne as the son of heaven in the new dynasty, where will Liu Xie of Xu Capital go?" Zhong Xuan asked suddenly.

Yuan Yun smiled when he heard this: "We don't have to worry about this matter, I believe that King Wei will naturally make a decision." ”

Zhong Xuan nodded, but continued with a worried face: "The old man is worried that King Wei will be ruthless, in case he doesn't leave his name, I'm afraid he will tarnish his reputation, and this will leave a disaster after all." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "I'm very relieved about this, I believe that the things we are worried about will definitely be able to think of it." ”

Jia Xu also agreed and said: "Although King Wei is young, he is extremely experienced and calm, and he should be measured in dealing with Liu Xie's matter, and the old man is not worried about this." ”

Guo Jia said more directly, and said: "Once Liu Xie abdicates, he will be given the title of duke and sent to the place, so that the best result is to deal with it, I believe that His Royal Highness the King of Wei will inevitably make such a decision, so that everyone is relaxed, I am a little worried about those officials who oppose the court, once the King of Wei succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that the fate of these people will not be very good." ”

Jia Xu frowned slightly when he heard Guo Jia say this, because he was also worried about the same problem, now Cao Ang is only the king of Wei, so many things can be endured, once he becomes the real son of heaven, then how much patience will be left, it is difficult to predict, and there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the court at that time.

Zhong Xuan was not too worried about this matter, and even laughed, and said: "These people have no eyes, and they are still standing on the opposite side of King Wei at this time, isn't that just boring, so they deserve to be exterminated." ”

Yuan Yun still didn't say anything about this, he is now downplaying his existence every day, not only in Cao Ang, but also in front of these colleagues, he is also doing this subtly, and only in this way will everyone let go of their senseless worries.

As the four of them spoke, they saw the fat-headed and big-eared Wu Yong trotting over from his position in the front yard, and every step he took seemed to touch the floor, causing heavy footsteps to be heard far away.

Wu Yong arrived before and after, and immediately greeted a few people, and the attitude of several people in front of him towards Wu Yong was also good, after all, Wu Yong had made many significant contributions to Luoyang, and several people present would not despise the businessmen, so everyone was more enthusiastic than Wu Yong himself.

After Wu Yong patted a round of sycophants, he finally came to Yuan Yun's side, and then whispered: "Deng Ai Gongzi is injured." ”
