Chapter 143: The Problem of Human Feelings
Yuan Shao looked righteous and generous: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Weichen is willing to be loyal to the community, how can he take care of the small family?! β
Having said that, there was obviously a trace of hesitation in his expression, and Jin Liang, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at him squarely, it seemed that this Yuan Shao's determination to please Dong was not strong enough, and it seemed that he had to find a way to strengthen his resentment against Dong Zhuo.
"Yuan Qing is willing to give up his relatives righteously, his loyalty is commendable, and the palace has discussed it with Lu Taifu and other auxiliary ministers," Empress Dowager He paused, and saw Yuan Shao's somewhat nervous expression, so she smiled with satisfaction: "It has been decided to appoint you as the former general to lead Runan Taishou, to seek the general alliance leader of the Dong Alliance for the Kwantung, and to gather the princes of the Kwantung region to discuss Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo can be annihilated, the palace will be rewarded, and the position of the three dukes will be chosen by Yuan Qing to achieve the reputation of the fifth and third dukes of the Yuan family." β
The cake that Empress Dowager He painted at the end was purely instructed by Jin Liang. Jin Liang knows very well in his heart that although this alliance against Dong is more powerful than the one in history, it is not an easy thing to completely defeat and annihilate Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has two vicious strategists under his command, Li Ru and Jia Xu, and they will definitely be able to come up with a way to crack the alliance against Dong, but I am afraid that before the time comes, the alliance will begin to fight among themselves, and Yuan Shao is destined to be happy.
"Wechen thank the emperor, and Wechen must do his best to annihilate the Dong thief and welcome the queen mother to Luodu." Yuan Shao's face was solemn.
"Brother Ben Chu, the documents we sent to the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family in various places have been returned," Jin Liang said helplessly: "It is still necessary for Brother Ben Chu to raise his arms and shout in order to gather in response, for the sake of today, or Brother Ben Chu personally wrote a letter and signed it on the text." and then re-issued to the princes everywhere. Only then can the alliance be successfully concluded. It's all there. It's all up to the original brother. β
"Fengxian, loyal to the country, Yuan Benchu is my duty." Yuan Shao shouted: "Bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." β
Just when Yuan Shao wrote letters to those former officials of the Yuan family, Jin Liang took the Empress Dowager He Lian and the Son of Heaven Liu Wei to the Zhen family's house in Yecheng.
The Empress Dowager He Lian went in to take a look, and smiled wildly: "In such a shabby place, Aiqing, you dare to bring us in?!" β
"Queen Mother, you are wrong," Liu Wei, the son of heaven, had an opinion for a rare time: "Although there are no carved beams and paintings in this place. Painting gold and silver, it doesn't seem to be magnificent at all, in fact, the materials are very good, you see that the stone and wood are all of the highest quality, some are better than the palace inside, this house is actually not shabby at all. The queen mother, who always lives in that bells and whistles palace, don't you feel bored? Look at how good it is here, the trees are shady, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and you can see the majestic Taihang and the surging water from a high place. Living here, you can cultivate your self-cultivation. Queen Mother, I think that's it. β
"The emperor is wise, he is used to living in a magnificent place, and occasionally comes to this kind of landscape manor, you can cultivate your self-cultivation," Jin Liang didn't bother to run around for a few of them, and the place where he lived had not yet been settled: "Queen Mother, are you still satisfied with that Zhao Zhong's house?" β
"Satisfied, Zhao Changshi's mansion is no less magnificent than the Luoyang Palace, but you said that it will take seven hundred and forty-nine days to move in."
"Queen Mother, just now the holy car was outside, there were many people, I can't go into details, in fact, there are a lot of gold and silver treasures, weapons and armor hidden in that house," Jin Liang whispered: "The approximate number is still being counted, and it will be reported to you later, what do you think those things should be disposed of?" However, there is a saying that in the front, the 160,000 people of the Central Army under my command have loyally worked for the imperial court, but so far, the imperial court has not allocated a little money to the central army. β
The reason why Jin Liang told Empress Dowager He about the treasure in Zhao Zhong's dark room was because it was difficult to hide it, so many treasures were transferred in the city, and it would definitely be seen, and in the end, it would definitely reach the ears of Empress Dowager He. Rather than this, it is better to tell her at the beginning that she can be sent away by giving her some treasures anyway, and if she is insatiable, let her pay for the army.
"You and the state army have reserved a lot of looting from the palace, what about the treasures of the ten permanent servants, I only saw some rare treasures, where did the others go?" The Queen Mother He Lian said with some anger: "You can't take it all, you also need a little bit of royal use, otherwise there is no dignity, and you don't need money to build the palace?" Don't you need money to recruit palace maids and eunuchs? Don't you need money to reward your vassals? β
"Queen Mother, why don't you do this, I will hand over all the gold and silver I got before to you, how about you at your disposal?" Jin Liang looked at Empress Dowager He with some anger: "If you can build the palace and raise the 160,000 troops well, then I will be at your disposal." β
"Aiqing, don't be angry," the Queen Mother He Lian dared to say that she had full control over the finances, first, she didn't have that ability, and secondly, if she really did this, it was clear that she didn't trust Jin Liang, and she had to be knocked out by him several times at night, this enemy is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of nights is becoming more and more frequent, and her heart is getting softer and softer by him: "Then what do you say?" β
"Eunuch, do you dare to recruit again?! Haven't you learned your lesson from the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants just past?! Now you, a dozen henchmen and palace maids, are enough to serve your four masters, and if you recruit again, it is very likely to recruit some spies from Dong Thief, if you are not afraid of death, just spend money to recruit them, right?! Rewarding the vassals, the princes around the country even postpone the payment of taxes, but you take the money to reward them, they will even say that the royal family has money and does not need us to pay tribute, and now the royal family will behave poorer, and the officials from all over the country will pay taxes, and the princes from all over the country will come to pay tribute! As for the imperial palace, if you build the imperial palace in Xiangyang more magnificent than Luoyang's, what should you let those ministers and soldiers think, do you want to go back to Luoyang? ! The palace in Xiangyang can be expanded a little on the basis of Zhao Zhong's house, and even I think you can only use the Zhen family's house as the palace, and when the time comes, the princes and soldiers from all over the country will come to visit, and see that the palace where the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven live is so cold, they will definitely increase their resentment against Dong Thief, and the fighting spirit to recover Luoyang will be greater. Please let the Queen Mother know these points! β
In the past four days, Empress Dowager He has been in a hot relationship, and Jin Liang has been summoned to discuss matters every night, but Jin Liang has no choice but to go to the Queen Mother's bed every night. He was not convinced by the performance of that night. He wielded his broadsword vigorously. It's strange to say. Every other night. His performance will be one point stronger, and the Empress Dowager He was tired of parrying that night. Jin Liang finally regained his lost manly dignity, and his temper grew in front of Empress Dowager He.
Jin Liang reprimanded him sharply, and Empress Dowager He broke free from her original vanity. Yes, now that he was actually forced out of Luoyang by Dong Zhuo, he is still in the process of fleeing, and the most important thing now is the army, as long as the army is armed. defeated Dong Zhuo and returned to Luoyang, so that he could live the original life of arrogance and lasciviousness.
Empress Dowager He said seriously: "Aiqing, what you said is too right. It's just that the palace has been accustomed to living in a house with carved beams and paintings, and the palace is not very accustomed to such a simple house, before recovering Luoyang, I still live in Zhao Changshi's house. As for how to dispose of those things, this palace thinks that weapons and armor should be equipped for the central army, and as for the gold and silver, you have to take out a part of it to repair Zhao Changshi's house. There are some treasures that you still have to present to the palace, and the rest should be kept for the military salary of the Central Army. β
"Not to mention the cost of military pay. After several battles, so many dead and wounded, the pension cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and in addition, weapons and armor were built, war horses were bought, military rations were bought, displaced people were resettled, and wounded soldiers were resettled, all of which required a lot of money."
Jin Liang deliberately said with a solemn face: "Count it, I'm afraid that the money I saved before is not enough to spend." β
Empress Dowager He waved her hand: "This palace is too lazy to listen to these things, you can make your own decisions." Now is an extraordinary period, there is no way to make money in the imperial court, if you have a way to make money, then you can play to your heart's content, as long as the army is fed, everything is easy to say. β
"Weichen really has a way to make money, but I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will not agree."Empress Dowager He glanced at Jin Liang coquettishly: "What is the way to make money?!" Come on. In front of this palace, you don't have to make a statement! β
"Does the Queen Mother know about the Zhongshan Wuji Zhen family?"
"Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi's branch? Of course, this palace knows that it is a rare businessman, with a huge capital of 100 million, and a wealth that rivals the country, and is as famous as the Xuzhou Mi family. β
"The house where the Queen Mother is sitting now is the Zhen family's private residence in Xiangyang, the Zhen family is willing to spend all their wealth to support Weichen in his crusade against Dong Zhuo, the premise is to marry their family daughter Zhen Jiang as his wife, how can I already have a wife, the Zhen family said that I can be a flat wife, but I have a law that does not allow wives and concubines, otherwise it will be guilty, so what, please show the Queen Mother, what should Weichen do?" Jin Liang put on a rather innocent expression.
There is no name between the Queen Mother He Lian and Jin Liang, even if she wants to be jealous, she can't be jealous, she first laughed, and then said quietly: "There is such a good thing?!" Aiqing, you are not shallow, you let this palace give you ideas, this palace is afraid that if you have too many women, you will be disgusted with this palace. β
"Queen Mother, you are so beautiful and plump, Weichen never gets tired of it, and you will never snub the Queen Mother because of other women." Jin Liang saw that the young emperor Liu Wei stayed away because the two were bored talking, and there was no one around, so he boldly laughed.
The Empress Dowager He Lianjiao snorted: "Hmph, this palace doesn't care how many women you have, anyway, if there is an edict in this palace, you can't help but come, otherwise this palace will make you a crime of contempt for imperial power." As for what kind of wife is not equal, the Han really does not have this rule, this palace can make an exception to send you a holy decree, and at the same time come forward for you to persuade other auxiliary ministers, as long as these old masters agree, the rest of the world has nothing to say. β
"The Queen Mother is so generous, how can Jin Liang repay him?" Jin Liang smiled evilly.
"What is the reward? Hmph, as long as this palace recruits you, you can come. The Queen Mother He Lian was moisturized and developed by Jin Liang once, and the style that filled her body was even more charming, and Jin Liang couldn't help but want to knock her down on the spot for pleasure. When Jin Liang settled the Empress Dowager He Lian, the Young Emperor Liu Bian, the Empress Tang Yue, and the Wannian Princess Liu Hua in the Zhen family's house, he ordered the new Yulin Governor Wu Chong to lead 2,000 people to be on strict guard.
Especially can't let the crazy Huayang Jun He Mu get close, that Huayang Jun He Mu since was ordered claustrophobic by the Empress Dowager He, often take advantage of the guards to run out of the Queen Mother's palace to disturb, Jin Liang looked at the state of the old woman, he knew that she was very similar to some of the official wives who liked to go to the duck shop in later generations, no one went to satisfy the wolf-like age, so he acquiesced to Wu Chong to send some rough men to condolences every day, that Hua Yangjun was very happy, and never disturbed the peace of the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor. Empress Dowager He occasionally visited her mother, and when she heard Hua Yangjun's happy cry, she left with great relief.
During this period, Tang Yue also sent a message to Jin Liang to find her in a few days, saying that there was something important to discuss. Of course, it wasn't that Tang Yue had anything important to discuss with Jin Liang, but that Zhang Ren and Zhang Ning, who were sent out to do things some time ago, had news coming back. Moreover, Xuanyuan Xue, who had previously retreated and studied the promotion of Ming Hongdao, was also about to come out.
After this incident, Jin Liang went to settle his family.
With the help of Zhen Yu. Jin Liang successfully bought a large mansion. Close to the house where the Queen Mother and the Young Emperor lived. Apply the weights and measures of the harmonious year, the area is more than 400 square meters, the environment is also very quiet, the second floor of the high platform can see the towering Taihang and the surging water, Jin Liang is very satisfied, because the price is very ideal, less than 200,000 yuan, it is estimated that it can appreciate to 1 million in the future. Jin Liang smiled dumbly. How can I still live with the ideas of the 21st century, in this time and space, I am afraid that the assets under my name are tens of billions of dollars, and I still care about this mere 200,000 yuan, what kind of first monthly payment is a house slave, it has long been far away from me. And he swore that the people of the big Han people in this time and space would no longer have to live a house slave life, if they struggled, in the end, they would still be held hostage by vested interest groups like some people and become their spokesmen, so that the people of the big Han would still be house slaves as they did in the harmonious years. Then I might as well die sooner.
Back at home, Jin Liang's purple and gold crown went through several battles. Some of them were damaged, so they were taken off and handed over to Diao Chan, who had been a female official, to repair for herself. Jin Liang stood aside, looking at the dexterous hands when Diao Chan flew the needle, and couldn't help but be stupid, this woman is a first-class female red, and she looks very virtuous, who would have thought that she had been a first-class female spy in history.
His wife Cai Yan was directing the servants of the Cai family to place the furniture, and when she saw Jin Liang looking at Diao Chan's jade hand stupidly, she smiled sarcastically: "Jin Lang, do you want to have a chat with Diao Chan's sister earlier?" β
Diao Chan was concentrating on repairing the golden crown, and when Cai Yan said this, his whole face flushed, and his red face was really like a peach blossom in March.
"Where did Madame come from, I haven't married Yan'er Cicada for a day, and I don't want the joy of the cave house for a day." Jin Lang didn't want to embarrass Diao Chan too much.
Suddenly, a voice broke the concubine in the room: "Lord, it's not good, Yuan Shao is ready to go and invite Tian Feng!" β
Jin Liang walked out of the house and saw Dong Zhao and Guo Jia waiting outside the door, so he asked, "Gongren, Fengxiao, how did you two know that Yuan Shao was going to invite Tian Feng?!" "It is said that Yuan Shao should not have recruited Tian Feng so early.
"Yuan Shao expected that the lord did not want to harm him, so he only brought Yan Liangwen and the second general to come, and the inn where he lived had been installed by me to pretend to be a hospitality, and the guest heard Yuan Shao and Yan Liangwen and the second general say, 'I originally wanted to take Jingzhou as the foundation, but I didn't want to be stolen by Jin Liang, since he stole my Jingzhou, I will steal his talents, and tomorrow I will go to see Julu Tian Feng, Tian Feng will go to Runan with me as he wishes, and Jin Liang will go to an arm.' Lord, Tian Feng is a genius in the world, comparable to Xiao He Zhang Liang, you must go to Julu to invite Tian Feng as soon as possible, and don't let Yuan Shao take the lead. Guo Jia hurriedly said.
"If the lord wants to succeed in inviting Tian Feng, there are two people who must do it differently!" Dong Zhao said with a smile.
"Who are those two?" Jin Liang asked in surprise.
"There is a person who is a Guangping person, and Tian Feng has always been good friends and confidants of each other, if he is willing to persuade Tian Feng to return to the lord for the lord, then the lord will get twice the result with half the effort to recruit Tian Feng."
"What about the other one?" Jin Liang asked.
"That man is far away in the sky, close in front of him." Dong Zhao played mysterious.
"Gongren, is that you?"
"Non-yes, non-yes, it's Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao." Dong Zhao pointed at Guo Jia: "Tian Feng visited friends in Yingchuan Academy in the past, and had a very happy conversation with Feng Xiao, which was cited as a friend who forgot his year, and Feng Xiao's argument is unparalleled. β
I suddenly remembered that in history, it was Tian Feng who encouraged Guo Jia to join Yuan Shao's shogunate, but Guo Jia had passed dozens of days, and Yuan Shao had been treating him well, but because Guo Jia was from a poor family and refused to reuse it, Guo Jia said to Tian Feng and others: "The wise man judges the master, so he can make a name for himself by doing everything he can." Yuan Gongfu wanted to follow the corporal of Zhou Gong, but he didn't know the opportunity to use people. There are many ends, there are few wants, there is no decision, and it is difficult to help the world with each other, and it is difficult to determine the cause of the overlord! Yuan Shao, who resolutely left, chose to live in seclusion temporarily.
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Since Gongren said it, Guo Jia is inconvenient to refuse." This time, he will definitely persuade Tian Yuanhao to return to the lord. β
"Fengxiao, don't worry, it's almost evening now, it's better to go tomorrow morning." Jin Liang saw that Guo Jia seemed to be going now, and hurriedly persuaded.
"Lord, as the saying goes, the night is long and there are many dreams, in order to prevent accidents, we have to rush to invite Tian Yuanhao overnight, if Yuan Shao takes the first step to persuade Tian Yuanhao, Yuan Hao's guy is a dead eye, once he recognizes the master, he will be loyal, then we will miss it with such a big talent, and regret it too late."
"What Feng Xiao said is very true, let's set off overnight." Jin Liang was also afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.
"My lord, you need to prepare a generous gift." Dong Zhao said.
"Generous gifts? Tian Yuanhao is not such a shallow person. Guo Jia looked at Dong Zhao indignantly.
"Fengxiao, do you know why the lord transferred you to my side as my deputy and serve as a sacrificial wine for the middle military division?" Dong Zhao looked at Guo Jia with a smile.
"Guo Jiashi doesn't know what the lord means." Guo Jia glanced at Jin Liang, he knew that Jin Liang trusted him, and he could see that Jin Liang had a lot of thoughts hidden in his heart, but why he put himself next to this smiling white fat man as an assistant, Guo Jia really couldn't guess. (To be continued.) )
