Chapter Ninety-Three: Jin Yuan Stops Rumors
Meng Ge, who had just come back, soon had a new move, first of all, he made a statement to Dong Zhuo, asking Dong Zhuo to put down all the corpses on the city tower and let people be buried, according to Meng Ge, at this time, Dong Zhuo must show a benevolent side, whether it works or not, and no matter how the people of the world think of themselves, but the civilian class must be stable.
But this is not the most important thing, Meng Ge also asked Dong Zhuo to order the construction of water conservancy, spend money to do practical things for the common people, simply put, it is to buy people's hearts with money, with a lot of gold yuan scattered, Dong Zhuo's affairs gradually calmed down, plus Dong Zhuo's behavior of avoiding suspicion these days, different views gradually appeared among the people.
"Hey, I said what kind of person is this Dong Xiangguo, why do you say that he is a great annihilator, ** court, and then say that he is a good person, I am confused!"
"Who knows, no one can say anything about this officialdom, let's not care about it so much, we can't care about this matter, we just need to do our own thing, just have food to eat, and don't care what he does so much!"
"It's also said, people can do whatever they want, or don't worry about it!"
Similar discussions gradually appeared on the streets of Chang'an, of course, this is Meng Ge's strategy, he doesn't need everyone to know Dong Zhuo's benefits, he just needs people not to completely stink the reputation of this dead fat man, on the one hand, this is also for his own sake, if Dong Zhuo's reputation is too stinky, I am afraid it will be difficult to do things in the future, Meng Ge doesn't want to become like that.
At this time, Meng Ge, who was dressed in casual clothes, took Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun in the wine shop, listening to the discussion of the spectators present, Meng Ge was very satisfied, this time was not in vain, and finally stabilized the matter, and the effect has gradually appeared.
The goal has been achieved, and Mungo doesn't want to stay here longer, so he casually says, "Let's go, let's go back!" The matter has been basically resolved, and now it depends on whether there is a way to implement it! We can't do anything about it anymore! ”
"Ah, General, didn't you say that you were drinking, why did you leave so quickly! I haven't finished it yet! Xia Houlan was slightly unhappy, he hadn't drunk for a long time, he was so panicked, as soon as he arrived at the wine shop, the gluttonous worms in his stomach were hooked out.
"You want to drink, you drink it yourself, I don't have time to drink here with you, I still have something to do!" Meng Ge glared at this guy angrily, he could see that this kid Xia Houlan was half a foodie.
Although it is not as good as Dian Wei's guy who can eat, but this guy is not much better, if Dong Zhuo is wrong because of a woman, this guy is because of a mistake, and the wine in this meal is the most mistaken one, Meng Ge doesn't understand why so many people like to drink.
"Don't say it, let's go!" Zhao Yun is much more simple, as soon as Meng Ge said to leave, he immediately stood up and followed Meng Ge closely, now he is Meng Ge's guard, the guard naturally has to fulfill the duty of the guard, and the cautious Zhao Yun is not ambiguous at all.
The three of them wandered around the street at will, and the most important thing was that Meng Ge wanted to see how effective the recent governance was, and now it seems that money can make the ghost push and grind that sentence is not wrong at all, with the strengthening of the money offensive, Chang'an has not only become more prosperous, but also Dong Zhuo's reputation is gradually improving, and there is gradually less talk about Dong Zhuo's court.
Meng Ge was very satisfied with this, but Zhao Yun was a little puzzled by this, and after thinking about it, he still asked, "General, some time ago, it was rumored that Dong Xiangguo was cruel and unkind, but now in my opinion, it seems that many people don't think so, what's the mystery in this?" Please also ask the general to solve the doubts! ”
"Oh, does Zilong dare to be interested in civil affairs?" Meng Ge was slightly curious, he only knew that Zhao Yun was a soldier, and he didn't know when Zhao Yun was also interested in civil affairs.
"Well, I'm just casually asking, the people's attitude has changed too quickly, and I'm a little uncomfortable!"
Meng Ge shook his head and said casually: "I see, it seems that you still need to sharpen it, if you only know how to fight, then if you come to Ma Fang Nanshan, I am afraid that it will be useless, and the most important point, war is for politics, you have all remembered this!" As for the reasons for this, you can figure it out for yourselves, I won't say! ”
War is for politics, Zhao Yun understands very well, he has blocked a lot of military books recently, which is naturally no stranger, but what is the connection between this and the current situation, Zhao Yun has never been able to understand the essentials, and Xiahou Lan is the same, he doesn't quite understand why Meng Ge said this.
Of course, Mongo has Mongo's purpose, in Mongo's view, war is never called war on the battlefield, the decision to win or lose the war actually lies in the preparation stage, how the political and economic situation of one side of the force determines the final outcome of the war, a general can win the war, if he loses the support of the rear then it is nothing, there is no doubt about this, even if he is a genius, if the politics is too [***], then it is useless to win more battles.
Many talented generals are like this, the Warring States period of Zhao generals Lian Po and Li Mu is one of the representatives, in contrast to the Qin State of the famous generals Bai Qi and Wang Qian, the political situation of the two countries truthfully determines the outcome of the war, Lian Po and Li Mu's military talent is not lost to Bai Qi and Wang Qian, but Zhao was destroyed by Qin, the fundamental reason is the political economy of the two countries, Zhao Wang is mediocre and incompetent, and Qin Wang is hardworking, this is the biggest difference.
The two of them were thinking about Menggo's question, and before they knew it, Menggo had already walked away, and when Xiahoulan reacted, she almost couldn't find Menggo, and Xiahoulan hurriedly shouted: "Wait for me, general, where are we going now?" ”
"Ask so much what to do, just follow me!" When Meng Ge came out today, he didn't think about where he was going, he walked around the streets of Chang'an, the task had been completed, and he really didn't think about where to go now.
Meng Ge is so casual wandering around the street, he has been in Chang'an for so long, Meng Ge really hasn't seen it well, today is just the opportunity, it's not bad to see, Chang'an is still very prosperous at this time, there are people selling all kinds of things on the street, and all kinds of shouting are endless.
"Boss, how do you sell this?" Mongo casually walked to a small shop, this small shop sells all kinds of small things, he took a fancy to a pair of jade, the color seems to be good, the most important thing is to create quite exquisite, it is a pair of butterfly shapes, it looks quite good.
"Oh, it's not expensive, it's consistent, it's not that I said that the fineness of this pair of jade is definitely worth the price, you can really know the goods!" The smile on the face of the shopkeeper piled up, and he tried his best to sell his jade pendant, Meng Ge picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, shaking his head helplessly.
It seems that this boss doesn't know the goods, this good jade actually sells at this price, and the money is always a thousand dollars, if it is handed over to someone who knows the goods, this pair of jade butterflies is definitely more than this price, although Meng Ge is not proficient in this, but the eyesight price is still a little, not to mention the fine color of the jade, just for the delicate workmanship of this pair of jade butterflies, it is more than this price, not to mention that this pair of jade butterflies feel warm, the texture is clear, it should be the best jade.
However, since this boss is illiterate, Meng Ge can't find himself unhappy, "Always money, okay, I bought it, boss, you collect the money!" ”
Very happy to pay, Meng Ge took the pair of jade butterflies satisfied, the owner of the small shop did not expect this person to be so happy, I am afraid that the money has always been less, but now it is too late to say anything, people took the jade away, the price is set by himself, no one can care.
All this fell into the eyes of a person, Diao Chan sat in the carriage and said to himself: "Look at that person seems to be Meng Ge, it seems that luck is good today, Xiaohong, follow and see!" ”
I found a good pair of jade butterflies, Meng Ge was in a good mood, it should be good to take it back and give it to Jiang Er, it should be a good match for her, I don't know if she will like it, Meng Ge looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and was quite happy.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun was suddenly alert, when he came out of the shop, he felt a little strange, as if someone was staring at them, and as soon as he took two steps, he found that there was actually a carriage following him.
"General, it looks like someone is following us!" Zhao Yun immediately reminded Meng Ge in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's an ordinary person, it's not a threat to us, you should recognize me! Xia Houlan, you go and inform the carriage behind, and say I don't like people to follow! "Zhao Yun can find it, and Meng Ge can naturally find it, and it is more detailed, even Meng Ge knows who is inside.
Judging from the breath coming from the carriage, it didn't look like a person who practiced martial arts, and the breath of a person who practiced martial arts was long, and it shouldn't be so urgent, according to which Meng Ge could be sure which curious guy it was, and Meng Ge didn't have much of the heart to worry about the people in the carriage.
"Yes!" Xia Houlan immediately ran over and explained a few words to the people in the carriage behind.
Diao Chan didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, she was startled at first, and then Xia Houlan just said to let her not follow, Diao Chan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Ge's powerful Diao Chan finally realized it, so easily discovered himself, in terms of martial arts and observation ability, it is absolutely impossible to ignore, if it is an assassination, I am afraid that before he reacts, he will be recognized by Meng Ge, and after getting Meng Ge's warning, Diao Chan hurriedly asked the coachman to turn around and leave the street.
"General, isn't it too hasty?" Zhao Yun said cautiously.
"It's okay, you can rest assured, let's go, let's go to Lord Xiangguo's mansion and ask for something, I think it's time to go and see the Empress Dowager He, and some things should be asked clearly." Meng Ge doesn't care about being followed, in fact, he often sends people to follow others, this kind of thing is no longer strange, there are too many people in Chang'an who want to deal with him.
When it came to major matters, Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan wisely chose to shut up, there were some things that they could not know, so the two of them stood behind Meng Ge with interest, followed Meng Ge closely without saying a word, and the three of them walked towards Xiangguo Mansion all the way.
Diao Chan turned the carriage and immediately went up to Wang Yun's mansion, along the way Diao Chan's heart beat hard, she didn't expect to be discovered by Meng Ge after only a few steps, fortunately Meng Ge didn't ask in person, otherwise Diao Chan wouldn't know what to do.
Dong Zhuo's matter unexpectedly calmed down, this matter was unexpected by many people, and Wang Yun didn't expect this matter to be gone so quickly, but Zhang Wen died, and there was one less capable officer who opposed Dong Zhuo, which made Wang Yun have a headache.
Originally, Zhang Wen was a guard lieutenant, and he played a great role in this position, if he could use this position, then it would be possible to master the security of the palace, but now that Zhang Wen is dead, this position will naturally fall to someone else's head, although he doesn't know who will take over the post of guard lieutenant now, Wang Yun knows that this position must be Dong Zhuo's person.
Originally, Dong Zhuo's group did not agree with handing over the palace security force to Zhang Wen, which was likely to cause irreparable consequences, once something went wrong with the palace security, then it was very likely that news would be unfavorable to Dong Zhuo.
This incident is the best example, if the garrison force is under Dong Zhuo's control, the rumors will not leak so easily, presumably Dong Zhuo is also wise and wise, and will not make the same mistake again, Wang Yun naturally understands this.
In fact, as Wang Yun expected, Dong Zhuo really wanted to give this position to his own people, but Dong Zhuo found that no one under him seemed to be suitable for this position, most of Dong Zhuo's people had to lead the troops, and there were too few people who could share his worries and solve problems, Meng Ge could, but Meng Ge's qualifications were not enough to serve as a guard lieutenant, the guard captain was one of the nine kings, and the stakes were very high, Meng Ge was only a cavalry captain, and his promotion to the guard captain would definitely cause criticism.
Dong Zhuo also has a headache for this matter, although Wei Wei has been vacated by him, but it is still a very important position, it is one of the nine Qings, if there is no suitable person to be selected, it is indeed a little difficult, it doesn't matter if he kills Zhang Wen, but Dong Zhuo has a headache for his position, and now he feels a headache for it.
"Lord Xiangguo, Mongo asks to see you!" Just when Dong Zhuo had a headache, someone outside the door came to report, saying that Meng Ge came to ask to see him, Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, if Meng Ge could have a way, it would be great, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned Meng Ge.
As soon as Meng Ge arrived in the side hall, Dong Zhuo greeted him and laughed: "It's really time for Captain Meng to come, I just want to ask you about something, but I didn't expect people to arrive, hahaha, hurry in!" ”
When asked me about something, Meng Ge was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xiangguo is serious, if there is something to do with Lord Xiangguo, please say it, and I will try my best to solve my doubts for Lord Xiangguo." ”
"Yes, good!" Dong Zhuo is very satisfied, Meng Ge has always been respectful in front of him, and he is reliable, never forming a party for personal gain, so now Dong Zhuo has more and more trust in Meng Ge, Li Ru has gone out to do things, so Dong Zhuo has also relied on Meng Ge more and more.
"This prime minister actually has a headache, you tell me who should hold the position of Wei Wei, as soon as Zhang Wen died, this position was empty, and someone must be found to hold this position!"
"Wei Wei, Li Ru is the most suitable!" Meng Ge blurted out, of course, this kind of position is suitable for his own people, don't you need to ask, now Li Ru's merits are almost the same, plus Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, among Dong Zhuo's generals, Li Ru's talent naturally needs not be said, not who else is him.
"Wen is worried!" Dong Zhuo nodded thoughtfully, Li Ru's words are qualified, but now Li Ru is still working in Kanto, and he doesn't know when he will come back, Dong Zhuo is a little undecided.
