Chapter 259: Solicitation

After chatting with these two people for a while, Liu Yuan did not show what he wanted to do with these two people, Wang Lang couldn't hold back in his heart, and was about to ask each other, but he heard the voice of the guard outside the door.

"My lord, the envoy of Xuzhou asks to see you."

Xuzhou messenger!

Wang Lang's heart became clear. No wonder Liu Yuan didn't say how to deal with him, but it turned out that the envoy from Xuzhou had already come. Wang Lang also let go of his heart, and only said that the Xuzhou envoy was here to try to lure him back to Xuzhou.

"Let them in."

Liu Yuan's thick voice came out, and then the door of the study was pushed open, and Zhang Zhao walked in alone.

"Zhang Zibu!"

Wang Lang and Mi Zhu shouted at the same time.

When Liu Yuan heard this, his heart moved, and he knew the name of this person.

It turned out to be Zhang Zhao!

Zhang Zhao and his brother Zhang Hong are called two Zhang, and they are both people of outstanding intelligence. And Zhang Zhao is even more than Zhang Hong. Zhang Zhao's surname is strong and loyal, but he is very good at self-preservation, in the original history, in the case of not waiting to see Sun Quan, it is not easy to enjoy his old age and live to the age of eighty-one.

Zhang Zhao's surname is compared with Tian Feng's. In history, Tian Feng was killed tragically when he met an unladylike person, but this cannot be compared with Zhang Zhao.

Seeing Zhang Zhao, Liu Yuan was really happy in his heart.

So he got up with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Zibu, please take a seat!" ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan was so enthusiastic, Zhang Zhao was a little moved in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"Mr. Zibu, as a messenger of Xuzhou this time, I don't know what to say?" Liu Yuan got straight to the point. Of course, he hasn't always been a man who likes to beat around the bush.

Zhang Zibu was stunned. He originally thought that Liu Yuan could lay such a foundation now, and he should be a person with deep thoughts and a city like an abyss, but he didn't expect it to be so bold and direct. The good feeling in his heart was even worse, so he said: "Lord, Zhao Assassin came to Youzhou for three things. ”

Liu Yuan looked at him seriously and nodded for him to continue.

"First, at the request of the Tao Gong of Xuzhou, I asked the prince to release Chen Deng, Cao Bao, Mi Zhu and Wang Lang."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he was noncommittal and motioned for him to continue.

"Second, I want to talk to the prince about family affairs."

Liu Yuan was stunned, but still motioned for him to continue.

"Third, Tao Gong wants to form an alliance with the prince for the good of Qin and Jin."

Liu Yuan waited for him to finish speaking, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "For the first point, this king actually didn't mean to embarrass them. Whether it is Chen Yuanlong and Cao Bao from the past, or Mi Zizhong and Mr. Wang Lang today, this king has never been embarrassed and reluctant. ”

Of course, the king greatly appreciates the talents of several people. Chen Yuanlong is quick thinking and good at scheming; Mi Zizhong is good at business, you must know that I pay attention to business in Youzhou. As for Mr. Wang Lang, in the eyes of this king, he is not a simple person. As for General Cao Bao, hehe, he is related to Tao Gong, I can let him go immediately. ”

Liu Yuan said, turned his face to Mi Zhu and Wang Lang and said: "My Youzhou attaches great importance to talents, and this king is even more thirsty for talents. Brother Zizhong, Mr. Wang, this king now formally invites the two of you, can you serve as an official and a half-official position in my Youzhou? ”

"By the way, and Mr. Zibu!" Liu Yuan looked back and said solemnly to Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zibu's talent, this king has heard of it for a long time, but it is no less than Xiao He, Zhou Yafu and others!" This king also sincerely hopes that Mr. Zibu can take up the position of my palace, I don't know what Mr. Zibu wants? ”

Liu Yuan's words came out, Mi Zhu and Wang Lang were moved, but their faces were worried. As for Zhang Zhao, he didn't expect Liu Yuan to give him such a big evaluation, and he was not only moved in his heart, but also a little funny.

This solicitation is too direct, isn't it?

However, Zhang Zhao thought about it, and it was not surprising that it was rumored that several of the current important ministers under Liu Yuan, the king of Yuyang, were violently kidnapped by him.

"Uh, this, Lord Wang, can you finish the matter of Tao Bus Agent first, and then talk about this matter?"

Zhang Zhao said. The so-called entrusted by people, loyal to people. Although he Zhang Zhao didn't want to see Tao Qian, since he had taken over this task, he had to complete it!

Liu Yuan smiled: "I appreciate your surname!" As he spoke, a touch of melancholy appeared on Liu Yuan's face, and he actually remembered Guan Yunchang, who was also firm and loyal to death!

"Alas" Liu Yuan sighed, and suddenly found that the few people sitting in the hall were a little puzzled, and couldn't help but quickly apologize: "Hehe, this king has something to think about, but he has neglected a few people, sins, hehe." ”

"Regarding the first article proposed by Tao Zhoumu, this king means that. Except for Cao Bao, I will try my best to recruit several of you. You don't have to be afraid that Tao Qian will be angry with your family, this king speaks out, forgive him Tao Qian and don't dare to act rashly! This king gives three days, if you want, stay here, this king has someone to inform Tao Qian, send your family over. If you don't want to, you will leave, and when you see each other, the king will not be merciful! ”

"The second one, marriage, hehe" Liu Yuan said, smiled, and said: "Mr. Zibu, is there still a descendant of Taozhou Mu who is beautiful and fragrant?" ”

Liu Yuan knows the information of Tao Qian's family well.

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "This matter still needs the nod of one of the people present to be considered successful." Zhang Zhao pointed to Mi Zhu and said: "It is also proposed by Zhao, I have heard that Mi Zizhong has a sister, the country is fragrant, and she can be called the first in Xuzhou, so I proposed marriage to Tao Gong." Hehe, Zizhong, please don't blame it! ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, it was as if he was in a dream. If his sister can really enter the eyes of the King of Yuyang, it is a great thing, how can he blame Zhang Zhao, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zibu is serious." If this can be done, I will thank Mr. Zibu again. ”

As he spoke, Mi Zhu looked at Liu Yuan with a sideways face, his face full of hope.

Being Liu Yuan's brother-in-law, regardless of interests or reputation, is too covetous!

When Liu Yuan heard this, his mind changed and he remembered something related to this Mi Zhen.

In history, it seems that this beauty has become Liu Bei's wife. And this woman is resolute and strong, and she does not hesitate to throw herself into the well to protect Liu Bei's young son, which is really admirable.

Moreover, if you marry Mi Zhen, one of the four major merchants in the world, the Mi family, will definitely move to Yuyang, which has a great role in promoting the economy of Youzhou, which is a good thing.

So Liu Yuan nodded and said, "This king can respond to this matter." But if you want to decide, you still need to meet in person. ”

Liu Yuan was not worried that Cai Yan and Zhen Mi would object. Not to mention that it is common for people in high positions to have three wives and four concubines at this time, just saying that with the spleens and surnames of these two women, they will not object. What's more, hehe, two women, they are not Liu Yuan's opponents at night!

In order to find help, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi had actually been blowing the wind in Liu Yuan's ears for a long time, asking him to take down Diao Chan Zhang Ning and other women.

Out of some considerations, Liu Yuan did not agree, but this time he married Xuzhou and married Mi Zhen, but it was exactly what Cai Yan and Zhen Mi wanted, right?

As soon as Liu Yuan spoke, everyone was immediately overjoyed.

Mi Zhu was even more happy that he couldn't help himself, and frequently thanked Zhang Zhao.

"The third piece, the Alliance." Liu Yuan said with a smile: "In this world, this king is bound to win." And the so-called alliance is just an empty picture. However, if you can marry the first beauty in Xuzhou, and then the king takes Qingzhou again, Xuzhou, don't put it in your eyes, you can let it go. ”

Zhang Zhao looked at Liu Yuan and really sighed in his heart.

He naturally didn't believe these words from Liu Yuan's mouth. Xuzhou is rich and famous all over the world. Zhang Zhao has also seen the prosperity of Youzhou along the way. Although Xuzhou is much worse than Youzhou, but it is such a large piece of territory, who can not be tempted?

Of course, Zhang Zhao guessed the cause and effect before he set off in Xuzhou.

Although Youzhou is powerful, it has consumed a lot of strength due to repeated wars. There are also several states of land waiting to be rebuilt, which will inevitably arouse the common hatred of the entire Central Plains princes, and Liu Yuan will definitely not continue to go south when his strength has not reached its peak. Now, what Youzhou needs is to recuperate and develop and grow.

In a few words, Liu Yuan and Zhang Zhao reached an agreement on opinions.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Zhao retreated. Liu Yuan also asked people to arrange Mi Zhu and Wang Lang properly.

Liu Yuan walked out of the study refreshed and went to the backyard. But I want to inform Cai Yan and Zhen Mi about the marriage of their two daughters.

After turning a few corridors, Liu Yuan entered the backyard.

It is said that Liu Yuan's Yuyang Mansion is still the same as the Yuyang Mansion ten years ago. In the past ten years, no matter how Liu Yuan's status has changed and how his power has grown, it has not changed in the slightest.

During this period, some subordinates suggested to Liu Yuan to expand the palace.

But Liu Yuan vetoed.

He Liu Yuan's family is just a few people, two wives, and a mother. And Liu's mother doesn't live there often. What is the use of a great king's house? It's just a waste of materials and money, and it has no other effect at all.

What's more, Liu's mother often said to stay thrifty. Liu Yuan was sure that if he dared to expand the palace, he would first have to face his mother's questioning.

So now, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, Liu Yuan has never had a trace of extravagance and waste.

At the same time, because of Liu Yuan's example, the entire Youzhou officials have gradually formed a frugal style.

The officials of Youzhou are rich, and there are various red envelopes and gifts given by the palace during the New Year's holidays. It can be said that all the officials in Youzhou are very rich. However, if we can form a diligent and thrifty style on the basis of affluence, it is indeed a great good.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Liu Yuan heard the sound of harmony and the clashing of blades from the garden schoolyard.

Liu Yuan paused, turned around and walked towards the garden.

Walking into the garden, I saw two people in the school field colliding fiercely, competing in martial arts, and several people standing aside, watching attentively.

Liu Yuan approached, and the two people competing in the field were Dian Man, the son of Dian Wei, and Xiahou Yuan.

These two are fighting fiercely.

Xiahou Yuan is proficient in martial arts, experienced in martial arts, and full of blood and blood. And Dian Man's blood is no less than Xiahou Yuan, but after all, he is inferior in terms of martial arts proficiency and combat experience, but he is slightly inferior.

On the side, Dian Wei, Xiahou Chun, Chen Deng and Chen Gong were all standing a few zhang away to watch.

Facing the strong winds, Liu Yuan approached, stood behind Chen Gong, and watched.

In the end, it was the two who were fighting in the field who saw Liu Yuan first, and quickly stopped and walked over.

Xiahou Chun and Dian Wei saw that it was a pleasure, but they suddenly broke off, very unhappy, and were about to scold, but they heard Chen Gong and Chen Deng on the side speak:

"Chen Deng (Chen Palace) to meet the prince."

After all, he is a literati, and his mind is not completely focused on the fight scenes that cannot be seen clearly. When the two of them saw that Xiahou Yuan and Dian Man were fighting fiercely, they suddenly stopped, knowing that something was wrong, and when they looked back, they saw Liu Yuan standing behind them.

"Meet the prince (young master)!"

The rest of the people saluted together.

"Hehe, it's this king who disturbs you, it's a sin." Liu Yuan smiled and asked, "Miaocai, Yuan Rang, Yuan Long, Gongtai, have you ever been used to living in these words?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Xiahou Chun said, "Thank you to the prince." We're waiting for a very leisurely time. However, it would be better if he could return to the Central Plains as soon as possible. ”

Liu Yuan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "Hehe, Yuan Rang." The urgency of your two brothers, this king understands very well. But if you want to go back to the Central Plains, you still need Brother Meng De to come in person, hahaha"

"But," Xiahou Yuan arched his hand and said, "The eldest brother is now at a critical juncture, my two brothers"

Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "You have to believe Brother Meng De." With Brother Meng De's power, just Yuan Shu, why bother? You've been too worried. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Yuan turned his face to Chen Deng and Chen Gong and said, "For what this king said before, can the two of you make a decision?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head without hesitation and said: "The prince has good intentions, and I have received it in my heart, but Chen Gongsheng is Cao Gong's person, and death is Cao Gong's ghost, so the prince doesn't need to say anything about it." ”

Liu Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at Chen Deng again.

Chen Deng hesitated, hesitated for a moment and said: "The prince should know that Deng is a disciple of the family."

Liu Yuan shook his head again and again, and said, "It seems that you haven't seen it clearly, so let's give you three more days." If you can't make a decision, go back to Xuzhou. ”
