Let's say that Jiang Sheng arrived in Luoyang, although Luoyang was the capital at this time, the scale of the city was similar to that of the county seat in later generations, and the outside of the city was dilapidated and sparsely populated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty? So deserted? Jiang Sheng was a little disappointed.

After entering the city, Jiang Sheng found that there was a serious contrast between the inside of the city and the outside of the city, almost all of the outside of the city were ruined, but the city was prosperous, and most of the shops along the street were open, and there was a song and dance.

"It seems that the official army has not come back yet, let's go to the restaurant to rest." Jiang Sheng said.

"Please inside the military master!" The shopkeeper saw Jiang Sheng walking towards this "Pine Crane Tower", and hurriedly went out to greet him, Jiang Sheng was dressed in clothes from the five products and facial features, followed by more than ten personal soldiers, if it was not for the troops of the fifth school or the return of the Yellow Turban class, it must be a big customer.

Yu Ban and Jiang Sheng entered the restaurant, while Zhou Cang and ten guards stood guard outside the door.

Jiang Sheng said: "Yuanfu, you don't have to be like this, this is Jingshi, we have to keep a low profile, don't attract attention, let's come in and eat and rest." ”

Since Jiang Sheng said it, Zhou Cang took people into the restaurant. It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to bring up the wine and food of thirteen people.

"Little second brother, we don't need to use wine, please remove it, add some meat, my brothers here have a lot of food." Jiang Sheng said.

This is when the soldiers heard Jiang Sheng call them "brothers", they were very excited, and they all felt that they were not with the wrong person.

There was no hurry about the time, and there were not many customers in the restaurant, Jiang Sheng and the others chatted while eating, talking about some anecdotes, and those guards saw that Jiang Sheng was approachable, and they also opened up the chatterbox, and they didn't realize that it was the end of the day, and the winter days were short, and it was sunset.

A group of sergeants entered outside the restaurant, frolicking for wine and meat, and one of them saw Jiang Sheng and hurriedly came over to pay respects: "Jiang Sima, your feet are so fast, I am Liang He." ”

Jiang Sheng didn't know this person's name, but he recognized this person as a member of the Huangfu Song Army (official name, equivalent to a senior staff officer in later generations), and hurriedly returned the salute and exchanged a few words.

Zhou Cang saw that everyone was full, so he went to check out, and the shopkeeper asked Zhou Cang: "Jiang Sima's name is a single name?" ”

Zhou Cang asked rhetorically, "How do you know?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "That is the case, the store does not charge money." ”

Zhou Cangqi said: "Why? ”

The shopkeeper said: "My master has an order, if you meet Jiang Sima, you must take care of your life, and you can't charge a penny. If not, why don't you stay overnight? ”

Zhou Cang said: "We are all new to Luoyang, and there is nowhere to go. But I don't know how my father-in-law will arrange it, and wait for me to ask. ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Wen Ze, Yuan Fu, let's go." ”

Zhou Cang ran to Jiang Sheng and said, "Lord, the shopkeeper said that he was ordered by his master to not accept a penny, and asked if he needed to arrange accommodation." ”

Jiang Sheng was very puzzled, so he went over to ask the shopkeeper in person, and the shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Please take a step from the general to speak." ”

The shopkeeper led Jiang Sheng into the backyard room, and bowed his hand and said, "Zhen Er to meet the general!" ”

"Zhen Er? Are you from the Zhen family in Jizhou? ”

"Exactly, the day before yesterday, my master came here with a message, saying that if you meet a general, you should take care of it."

"So this restaurant—"

"It is the industry of the Zhen family, the small owner of the Mengjia family, who runs a restaurant here, and the general will be responsible for the food and accommodation in the capital in the future."

"Thank you for the kindness of the Zhen family, but the so-called merit is not rewarded, I appreciate your kindness. Leave! Jiang Sheng said.

"Why should the general make the small one difficult? If it is not taken care of, the head of the family will definitely be punished, and I hope that the military power will help the small one. Seeing that Jiang Sheng was unmoved, the shopkeeper was in a hurry, so he simply knelt on the ground.

"Oh, why are you bothering?" Jiang Sheng was helpless.

"If the general refuses the intention of the head of the family, then the little one can only go back and ask for the guilt, and I hope the general will understand the old and the young of the little one, and they all count on me to support it, if they lose this job, the little one will not be able to live."

Jiang Shengxin said, what you said is too exaggerated, you can do other work if you don't do a restaurant, and you won't starve to death, I think you are afraid of leaving the cornucopia of the restaurant.

"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Jiang Sheng gave him a face, this kind of person will still be useful in the future, that night, Jiang Sheng and his party stayed in Songhe Tower, and Zhou Cang and Yu Ban each led five people to guard the restaurant in shifts.

On the second day, the official army returned to the camp of the five schools outside the city, and Huangfu Song led the middle and senior generals into the city, because the soldier informed Jiang Sheng that he was also in Luoyang, and Huangfu Song ordered Jiang Sheng to enter the palace together.

Jiang Sheng is from the fifth grade, he is a middle-level officer, not even a general, just a Sima from another department.

After everyone entered the palace, they waited in the court, Jiang Sheng saw that the court hall was also a little shabby, except for a few large pillars and silk tents, there was nothing else on the ground, the carpet and the table on the ground, at this time, the emperor and ministers of the court were kneeling and sitting, and the real standing posture of the court was first implemented by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty.

"General Huangfu, the emperor is testing the donkey cart in the back garden, let you come back tomorrow." The little yellow door came back for feedback.

"What? Test drive a donkey cart? We and other soldiers fought bloodily, and the class teacher came to face the saint after returning to the court, but the emperor ignored us so much! No, we want to see the emperor! "The senior generals began to stir.

"Who's making this noise here?" Shrill words came out.

When Jiang Sheng looked at it, he saw that the person who spoke had a long face, a white face and no beard, but an old eunuch who was nearly fifty years old, and the generals were silent for a moment.

Jiang Sheng quietly asked the generals around him, only to know that this person was the head of the ten permanent servants - Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang said: "If you wait for the battle to be ineffective and delay until the end of the year, how can you have the face to see the emperor?" Let's go back and think about it behind closed doors first, and wait for the emperor to summon you. ”

Huangfu Song said: "I hold the tiger talisman to lead the army, and when I return to the dynasty today, I should return the tiger talisman in person, and I hope that the lord will report on my behalf." Although the Zhongchang attendant was a eunuch, because he was a close minister of the emperor, the Chinese military capital of the dynasty was called "adult".

"General Huangfu, you give me the tiger talisman, and I'll give it to the emperor."

"This matter is not allowed, the tiger talisman is a royal thing, the last general must be handed back to the emperor in person, if it is not convenient for the adult to report, the last general will be presumptuous." Huangfu Song's face turned cold.

"Is General Huangfu going to force his way into the inner palace?" Zhang Rangsen said.

"Hmph, there is a regular servant Zhang here, how can the last general make a time, then the last general will hold this tiger talisman to rectify the soldiers and horses of the five schools, and come back another day to face the saint! Leave! Huangfu Song turned around and left, but Zhang Rang ignored it.

When Huangfu Song walked to the gate of the palace, Zhang Rang shouted: "Don't go!" I'm going to report to the emperor! Zhang Rang suddenly realized the meaning of Huang Fu Song's words, if this tiger talisman is not handed over, then the official army will be returned to Huang Fu Song's leadership, this Huang Fu Song is angry, and it will be troublesome to bring troops into the palace.
