Chapter 18: Fan Changsheng
During this period, Fu Yi once came to Fuzhong to visit Guan Yi. On the day of Guan Yi's wedding, because there were many old acquaintances of the Guan family and court officials who came to congratulate, and Fu He was a person who was removed for his crimes, so in order to avoid suspicion, Fu Yi did not come to congratulate in person, but only asked someone to bring a congratulatory gift.
Guan Yi naturally understood Fu Yi's distress, although he was able to offset his merits and demerits under the protection of Jiang Wei and Liao Hua, and was not punished by the imperial court, but after all, he was demoted to a concubine. From the army with military power, the heavy generals will be demoted to the common people, and whoever is replaced will have relatives. Moreover, as a person in the court, once he is demoted, who can guarantee that he will have the opportunity to be used by the court again in the future? If the luck is not good, maybe you can only stay at home for the rest of your life, and you will end up in the forest.
Fu Yi stayed in Guan Yi's mansion for a long time, Guan Yi called Ehu, Shi Feng and Chen Lie and others to accompany him, everyone was originally a life and death friendship on the battlefield, and it was natural to drink heavily at this time, until sunset, everyone poured Fu Tong into a drunken state before stopping.
On the third day, Guan Yi received a notice from the imperial court official Shangshu* that he had returned to Chengdu and asked Guan Yi to hand over to him as soon as possible so that he could take up his post.
Shou Liang is a person, Guan Yi has always known it. This person is Wenshu, and he is also a big family in Shu County, and there are many people in the clan who serve in the imperial court, and his ancestors and fathers have served as Qianwei Taishou for two generations. When Shouliang was weak, he was as famous as Zhang Wei and Fei Ji from the same county, and he was called Qianwei Sancai. Shou Liang was very knowledgeable, specializing in the "Three Legends of the Spring and Autumn Period", and his insights into the "Five Classics" were unparalleled. The imperial court knew that he was talented, so he worshiped him for Yizhou, and in the fifth year of Jingyao (262 AD), he moved to Brazil to keep it.
As far as Guan Yi knows, Shou Liang was transferred back to Chengdu this time because of the vacancy of the post of Duzhi Shangshu. If Shou Liang makes up for this shortage, it is the most suitable. He is not only knowledgeable and sensitive to political affairs, but also innocent and noble, upright, honest and simple, and is praised by his colleagues and local people during his tenure, and is a representative of the moment.
Before Shouliang returned to Chengdu, he had already put on a list of the Brazilian officials and people, the treasury money and grain, cattle and horses, fields and acres and other affairs that needed to be handed over, so the handover between the two was extremely smooth, and in less than half an hour, Guan Yi had a general understanding of the situation in Brazil, and when he left the Forbidden Garden, it was not yet noon.
Ehu and Shi Feng followed Guan Yi outside the palace, and were about to get on the horse and go back to the house, but they saw a team of about ten horsemen and horses coming on foot.
Guan Yi saw Liu Yong, hurriedly signaled to Ehu and Shi Feng, jumped off the horse and stood beside the road, waited for Liu Yong to come to his side, bowed down to see him, and said loudly: "I've seen the prince!" ”
"The general doesn't have to be polite!" Liu Yong jumped off the horse and returned the salute, held Guan Yi's arm, and sighed: "General Gaoyi, Xiao Wang Ming is very nostalgic, but he has been busy with official business recently, and he has not had time to thank the general in person, fortunately, don't be surprised!" ”
Guan Yi naturally understood what Liu Yong was referring to, and when he saw that he was full of red light and had a good complexion, he felt quite happy in his heart, and said respectfully: "The prince is serious!" The last general is a martial artist, but the prince has an order, and the last general should serve himself, how dare he say thank you? ”
Liu Yong is even more impressed, Guan Yigong is not arrogant, low-key, no wonder he was worshiped by the imperial court at a young age, and now looking at his words and deeds, he really has the talent of a general.
Of course, Liu Yongzhi's feelings are not like this. This time Huang Hao was overthrown, although all the ministers in the court recorded Huang Hao's crimes, none of them were willing to speak to the heir for themselves. Only Guan Yi presented his feelings in person, and the reason why he was harmed by Huang Hao's slander finally allowed him to be wronged for more than ten years.
"Xiao Wang wants to invite the general to the mansion to drink and talk about his heart, I don't know if the general is willing to appreciate his face?"
"This, the prince is busy with business, how dare the last general bother?"
"The general doesn't have to be too humble, the general doesn't avoid the axe, he risks death to speak up, and washes away more than ten years of grievances for Xiao Wang. Generals and me, brothers too! Where's the bother? ”
Guan Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't want his words in front of the Taimiao to have such a big impact on Liu Yong, and he actually made him regard him as a brother, it seems that he really didn't see the wrong person.
It is no wonder that Guan Yi was surprised, Liu Yong was slandered by Huang Hao in front of the heir, so that he was not allowed to enter the palace for more than ten years, the officials and the people saw his loss of power, lest he be unable to draw a clear line with it, Liu Yong tasted the heat and coldness of the world, and the warmth and coldness of the people, but when he was disheartened, he met Guan Yi, and finally got the snow and regained his momentum, Guan Yi's kindness to Liu Yong is like reconstruction, how not to let Liu Yong be grateful?
Guan Yi saw that Liu Yong's intentions were sincere, and it was not good to push back again, nodded and said, "The prince invites you, then the general will be respectful and obey his fate!" ”
Liu Yong was overjoyed, laughed, then turned over and got on the horse, first called a personal attendant, and whispered to him to go back immediately to pass on the order, rectify the wine feast, and welcome the distinguished guests. Then he walked side by side with Guan Yi and slowly walked towards the palace of the king of Ganling, and Ehu and Shifeng naturally followed behind.
After a while, everyone arrived in front of the palace, but seeing that Yu Linwei, who was on duty outside the palace gate, was in good spirits, there were already servants in the palace waiting for him, and when he saw Liu Yong and his party, someone rushed forward to grab the bridle and respectfully asked Liu Yong and Guan Yi to dismount. Guan Yi was a little worried that the fire dragon foal would not be involved by others, but at this time, seeing that it was quite tame and did not kick people angrily, he was quite surprised in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved, this must be the continuous taming of these days, so the fire dragon foal was wild and slightly restricted.
Liu Yong invited Guan Yiyan into the mansion, and Ehu and Shifeng had their own housekeepers in the mansion to arrange. The guest and the host sat down in the front hall, and the maids who should be serving immediately lined up the feast, and in a short time the wine and food were put on the table.
Liu Yong waved away the maid, raised the wine bottle on the desk, and said with a smile: "Come, Xiao Wang Jing General has a glass!" ”
Guan Yi saw that Liu Yong was so heroic, so he naturally couldn't be hypocritical anymore, and after being a little humble, he raised his glass and drank it all. After all, Liu Yong's status is noble, and when he feasts himself today, whether it is gratitude or friendship, Liu Yong is expressing his appreciation for himself. What's more, he did take the opportunity of impeaching Huang Hao to publicly state his grievances for Liu Yong in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and from a political point of view, this section is easy for people to think that they are Liu Yong's allies.
In fact, Guan Yi did not deny that he had the heart to befriend Liu Yong, from the perspective of his personal character, Liu Yong was kind and kind, had the style of an elder, and there were many people in Shu who benefited from him. It is not a good thing to make friends with such a royal child who is quite popular with the people. Of course, Guan Yi also knew very well in his heart that the premise of befriending Liu Yong was not to involve the power struggle within the imperial family.
Once Guan Yi let go, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Yong raised his glass and said with a smile: "The general knows that this time Xiao Wang went to Qingcheng to go up the mountain and met an unborn genius in the world!" ”
"Could it be that the prince met the living immortal Li Yiqi?" Guan Yi remembered that when he met Liu Yong in the North Campus, Guan Yi had mentioned Li Yiqi to Liu Yong.
"Definitely!" Liu Yong shook his head with a smile, raised his glass and touched Guan Yi Yaoyao, and after drinking it all, he said: "Since Li Yiqi is an immortal in the world, how can we ordinary people like me see it?" The person Xiao Wang met was surnamed Fan, his name was Changsheng, the word Yuanshou, and the heart of Fuling Danxin! ”
Note: The official department is one of the subordinates of Cao Shangshu, and is in charge of the selection and appointment of officials. Wei Xing nine products in the positive system, called the Ministry of Officials. According to the old system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu is called the electoral department. The Han Dynasty is divided into officials, left selection, right selection, etc., all of which belong to Cao Shangshu, and Shangshu Ling is his general control.
