"Humph!" Yuan Shu Yuan Highway snorted coldly and turned around to leave, looking at his iron-blue face, he didn't have to guess to know that this kid must be so angry that he was injured.

It's no wonder, who told Li Tong and Xu Fu to stick out their tongues and grimace at Yuan Shu triumphantly?

Although Zhang Huang and the others didn't know which one the Fifth Immortal Master was referring to in the mouth of Wei Wei, not only did Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, two families with big backers behind them, dare not make a mistake, and even Jiuqing in the middle of the court like Wei Wei had to act according to their orders, but one thing is certain, that is, at least the other party would not be as scheming to kill them as the narrow-minded Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu left, he did not take the carriage that he bumped into Zhang Huang and the others, but asked for a horse from Weiwei Temple and left with a calm face. As for the carriage that almost made Zhang Huang and others fall into a cage, it was still parked under the tree in front of Weiwei Temple, and from the window of the car, there was a delicate face blinking bright big eyes and looking at Zhang Huang and the others from afar. (The three prisons refer to the Weiwei Temple, the Tingwei Temple, and the Zhongwei Temple, that is, the Guanglu Temple, which are the three prefectures responsible for the security of Luoyang.) Among them, the lieutenant, also known as the executive Jinwu, led the Jinwu guard to be responsible for the security of the city; Wei Wei led the Imperial Forest Army, also known as the Yulin Army, which was responsible for defending the palace; Tingwei Temple was responsible for the interrogation of prisoners. ）

[Huh?] ]

Zhang Huang's eyes were a little stunned, because he found that the smile that appeared in the car window at the moment actually winked at him playfully, which made Zhang Huang's heartbeat can't help but speed up a little.

[……]

Seeing the carriage leave quietly, Zhang Huang hid a little disappointment in his heart and asked Cao Cao, "Brother Meng De, I don't know ...... woman in the carriage."

Cao Cao stared at Zhang Huang for a while, and said meaningfully, "It's Cai Yong and Cai Bo's daughter." ”

[Cai Yan, Cai Wenji?] Wrong. It's Choi Zhao-hee. (Cai Yan's original character is Zhaoji, and in order to avoid Sima Zhao's obscurity in the Western Jin Dynasty, it was changed to Cai Wenji.) ）

Zhang Huang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, after all, Cai Yan's fame was too great.

[Am I mistaken?] But she winked at me......]

Zhang Huang couldn't help but wonder a little, after all, according to his understanding of Cai Yan, an extremely famous talented woman in history, Cai Yan was not like a woman who would make such frivolous actions. However, he could see it clearly.

[That's weird......]

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Huang had no choice but to shake his head and put the doubts in his heart behind, and asked Cao Cao curiously: "Cai Zhonglang is in Luoyang at this time?" ”

Zhang Huang asked in amazement.

[Cai Zhonglang?] It's Cai Langzhong, right? (Zhonglang is the abbreviation of Zhonglang General, and Langzhong is the subordinate official of Shang Shuling, Shilang, and Prime Minister.) ）

Cao Cao muttered in his heart.

I have to say that Zhang Huang made a negligence here. Because Cai Yong became the Zhonglang general, it was after Dong Zhuo entered the imperial court, and before that, Cai Yong was the biggest official he had ever been, that is, Lang Zhong.

Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't care about the loopholes in Zhang Huang's words, but Zhang Huang was not familiar with the official qualities of the imperial court. After touching a small handful of beard on his chin, he said with a smile, "Yes, Xianfu is at home." ”

(At this time in the official history, Cai Yong was exiled by the imperial court and then pardoned.) Because he offended Wang Zhi, the younger brother of Wang Fu, Wang Zhi framed Cai Yong for resentment against the court and slandered the court, and Cai Yong was afraid that he would not be spared. fled to Wu Di. It wasn't until Dong Zhuo entered the court that he threatened to exterminate the clan and 'invited' Cai Yong to the court to watch. By the way, Dong Zhuo really didn't say anything to Cai Yong. Except for Li Ru, only Cai Yong's advice Dong Zhuo will listen to one or two. ）

"Even Cai Bojiao is idle at home?"

Zhang Huang shook his head in disbelief and let out a burst of emotion

from the side. The guard saw that Zhang Huang and the others not only did not go to Fang Xianguan, but instead criticized the government here, and he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Cao Cao is the court's chief minister, and the official worships the captain, regardless of it for the time being, at least Zhang Huang, who is a commoner, talks about the government like this, if he is arrested in normal times. But at this moment, this Wei Wei could only pretend that he hadn't heard anything, after all, Zhang Huang was the one who came to meet him in person when the imperial state teacher ordered him, even if he was one of the official to the nine Qing Wei Wei, he didn't dare to provoke lightly.

"A few people, can you leave for Fang Immortal Temple now?" It is hard to imagine that Wei Wei, one of the ministers of the Central Committee of the DPRK, would one day treat Zhang Huang, a commoner, with such a low-voiced tone.

Hearing Wei Wei say this, Zhang Huang then remembered the reason why Yuan Shu retreated with hatred, and asked curiously, "Fifth Immortal Master...... Who are they? ”

Cao Cao and the guard looked at each other, and kept silent, as if they were taboo about something.

Seeing this, Zhang Huang and the others became more and more puzzled.

At this time, Wei Wei had already instructed the officials to prepare the carriage, and urged Zhang Huang and the others to board the carriage and go to Fang Xianguan as soon as possible. During this period, Cao Cao looked at Zhang Huang with a subtle expression, and suddenly smiled, "Is Cao fortunate to walk with Brother Zhang?" ”

Zhang Huang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but he thought that Cao Cao had just intended to rescue them, although he didn't have a chance, Zhang Huang still accepted his feelings, nodded and said, "Brother Meng De can just teach me some important things about Luoyang." ”

Cao Cao's face was delighted when he heard this, and he ignored the stunned expression of the guard, and went straight to the carriage.

The guard had planned to ask the horseman in the official office to send Zhang Huang and the others to Fang Xianguan, but when he saw Cao Cao's actions, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and also boarded the carriage, and in the stunned eyes of Li Tong, Xu Fu, Tai Shici, Zang Ba and others, he smiled and occupied a place in the car.

[What did he squeeze up for too?] ]

Zhang Huang glanced at the guard captain with some incomprehension, and the latter smiled a little embarrassedly, so Zhang Huang couldn't say anything more.

However, Cao Cao saw the awkward atmosphere in the carriage, and Yuanchang smiled and introduced Zhang Huang and the others, "This is General Wei Ying Jun, this is Julu Jian'er Zhang Huang, and his four companions, Li Tong, Zang Ba, Tai Shici, and Xu Fu. "The general Wei in his mouth, that is, the Wei Wei.

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Wei Wei Yingjun subconsciously clenched his fists, and blurted out a mouth full of officialdom politeness.

Although Zhang Huang and the others felt a little funny, it was not good to debunk each other without knowing the number of courtesies, otherwise, most of them would have to ask Ying Jun and listen to this Lord Weiwei tell him where they 'admired their black feather crow for a long time'.

Riding in the carriage of the Weiwei Mansion. Seeing the people along the way kneeling towards him from the car window, Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and let out a long sigh.

Cao Cao next to him saw it clearly, and when he saw Zhang Huang looking at the kneeling people outside the car window, he sighed for a long time, and his heart moved, and said, "Brother Zhang, isn't he lamenting the strictness of law and order in the inner city of Luoyang?" ”

Wei Wei Yingjun's expression turned grim when he heard this, and he was about to say something to stop him, but he heard Zhang Huang already ask very implicitly, "When Zhang entered the city." I heard that Zhang Rang and others dominate the security of the whole city? The implication is that he is asking Wei Wei Yingjun whether he is attached to the eunuch Zhang Rang and others.

Hearing this, Cao Cao glanced at Ying Jun with interest, only to see a burst of blue and white flashes on Ying Jun's face, and suddenly sighed, "I can't help myself." ”

Zhang Huang immediately understood when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Is Zhang Rang's power very powerful?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing Zhang Huang looking at him with a look of curiosity, Ying Jun was also a little embarrassed. After pondering the words for a long time, he said cryptically, "Wang Chong said in "On Balance" that the combination of Fu River and ice is not a day's cold; Accumulation of soil into a mountain, the work of Festus. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Tong, who rarely reads, asked puzzled.

Xu Fugang was about to explain. saw Cao Cao smile and whispered: "Lord Ying means that the disaster of eunuchs has existed since ancient times. Difficult to eradicate. The power of eunuchs is not the result of a long-term accumulation of time and day. He said. He shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "The seizure of power by relatives and the chaos of eunuchs are nothing new since ancient times. ”

Wei Wei Yingjun couldn't help but change color a little when he heard this, his eyes were full of worry, and he said in a low voice, "Cao Yilang doesn't want to harm me." ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and said with a playful face, "Lord Ying is a guard captain, one of the nine Qings, and he is also afraid of becoming a lieutenant?" The Zhongguan in his mouth is a more polite word for eunuchs.

Ying Jun opened his mouth, finally looked at Cao Cao helplessly, sighed, shook his head and said, "This official doesn't have the courage and guts of Cao Yilang's stick to kill the plot." ”

The smile on Cao Cao's face immediately froze when he heard this, seeing this, Zhang Huang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked curiously, "Who is Jian Tu?" ”

Cao Cao frowned, and explained in a low voice for a long time, "Naizhong's uncle who often serves Jian Shuo. …… In the early years, Cao Mou entered Beijing as an official with filial piety and honesty, and was later appointed by the imperial court as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang. At that time, the uncle of Jian Shuo, who was often in the middle of the house, tried to violate the ban on night walking, and Cao Mou used the idea of killing chickens and monkeys to kill him with a five-colored stick and cane, which finally made the security of Luoyang North one of the shocks. …… However, because of this incident, Cao also offended the Zhongchang servant Jian Shuo and some powerful people in the dynasty, but because of the relationship between his father, Cao was only transferred to Dunqiu Ling. ”

"Therefore, Brother Meng De abandoned his official position and returned to Qian County?" Zhang Huang guessed in wonder, after all, when they met Cao Cao, Cao Cao had no official position.

"Not really." Cao Cao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "How can Cao care whether the official position appointed by the imperial court is big or small, respected or humble?" Cao was removed from his position by the imperial court, and did not step down on his own initiative. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Zhang Huang's puzzled expression, Cao Cao glanced up at the roof of the car and sighed, "Cao has a father, Cao Chi and Cao Yuansheng, the captains of Changshui, and a daughter from his father who married Song Qi, the Marquis of Liqiang. Therefore, Song Qinai his brother-in-law. Song Qi's father is the former governor Jinwu Song Yu, and his sister is the Empress of Song......"

[Goodfellas......]

Zhang Huang was secretly shocked by Cao Cao's terrifying network of family history, but he heard Cao Cao sigh, shook his head and said, "Some years ago, Wang Fu, a regular servant in the court, was arrogant and killed the aunt of the queen Song. The Son of Heaven believed slander, and soon after deposed the Empress of Song and sent her to the cold palace. Later, the Song family died of excessive grief, and the father and son of the Song family were also killed and abandoned outside the city. …… Cao and his cousin-in-law Song Qi were close friends, as close as siblings, so they were implicated and removed from their official positions, until a few days ago, the court once again used Cao as a speaker, and his father spent money to donate an official position of a cavalry lieutenant for Cao...... (The second queen after Empress Song is He Jin's sister He. ）

"I see." Zhang Huang nodded in realization.

At this time, Cao Cao exhaled and said with a sneer, "But Wang Fu's dog thief is not having a good time, and within a few years, Yang Qiu became the captain of Si Li." …… As soon as Yang Qiu took office, he asked the Son of Heaven to arrest Wang Fu, Hou Lan, Guan Ba Chun Yudeng, Yuan Yu, Feng Yi, and Duan Cheng and their party, and tortured them all to death. It's a pity that this move aroused the vigilance of Cao Jie, who joined forces with Zhang Rang, a regular servant, to slander the Son of Heaven. As a result, Yang Qiu was dismissed from the post of captain of the division and demoted back to the captain of the guard......"

"Captain?" Zhang Huang glanced at Wei Wei Yingjun in surprise.

As if noticing Zhang Huang's puzzled eyes, Ying Jun explained in a low voice, "At that time, Chen Qiu of Yongle Shaofu discussed with Situ Liu He and recommended Wei Wei Yangqiu as the captain of Si Li. After Yang Qiu took office, he joined forces with Situ Liu He, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, and infantry captain Liu Na and others to quickly get rid of Wang Fu. After that, they still planned to get rid of Cao Jie and Zhang Rang and sweep away the Son of Heaven...... Ahem. It's a pity that the plan is not secret. …… Situ Liu He was the son-in-law of Cheng Huang, who was afraid that he would also be affected, so he betrayed his son-in-law to Cao Jie, so that Liu He, Yang Qiu and others were controlled by Cao Jie, and were imprisoned, all of them were executed, and their wives and children were exiled to the frontier. ”

Zhang Huang only heard it in a fog, and asked suspiciously, "Eunuch...... How could he marry Situ of the dynasty? Aren't the eunuchs part of the group? ”

Cao Cao chuckled. Shaking his head, he said, "If there are people, there will be intrigue, and the same is true for the lieutenant." …… The palace attendants can be roughly divided into factions. In the early years, Wang Fu's power was monstrous, and only the Great Changqiu Cao Festival could compete with him, and the rest of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were not favored at the beginning. Subsequently, Wang Fu was punished and Cao Jie died. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others got to the top ......"

"Ahem!" Originally, when Zhang Huang and Cao Cao talked about the dead Zhongchang attendant, Wei Wei Yingjun didn't care, but then he saw them gradually talk about Zhang Rang and other current Zhongchang attendants. The face of this Lord Weiwei was a little unnatural, and he frequently signaled Cao Cao with his eyes not to go too deep, after all, the armillary sphere, which was used by the eunuchs to survey the whole city.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't seem to see Wei Wei Yingjun's hint at all, and continued, "The relationship between Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong today is similar to that between Wang Fu and Cao Jie back then, and it is true that they cannibalize each other, but if outsiders intervene, just like when Cao Jie saw Wang Fu's corpse and the rabbit died and the fox was sad, the official eunuch will unite and unite with the outside world." Even the two of the Zhongchang attendants Jian Shuo and Lu Qiang, who are loyal to the Son of Heaven, are also the same. (Jian Shuo and Lu Qiang are diehard loyalists of the Son of Heaven, and Lu Qiang can be called a model of the eunuchs who worry about the country and the monarch, but it is a pity that they were squeezed out by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, "The Son of Heaven knows his loyalty and can't use it.") ）

"It turns out that eunuchs don't have the same heart......" Zhang Huang nodded suddenly in understanding.

"Huh." Cao Cao laughed, and said with a straight face, "Those who form a party and run a private business in the middle of the regular servants, such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong in the middle of the regular service, the two of them are the most favored, and several of the middle permanent servants such as Song Dian and Bi Lan are the same enemies as them; There are also those who collude with favored ministers, such as Zhongchang Shile Song; There are also Qingliu marriages, such as Zhongguan Cheng Huang and former Situ Liu He are sons-in-law; There are also those who are not good people but are only loyal to the Son of Heaven, such as Jian Shuo; There are also those whose moral conduct is comparable to that of virtuous ministers, such as Lu Qiang; There are also those who are loyal and have no intention of fighting for power, such as Ding Su, Xu Yan, Guo Tan, Li Xun, Zhao You, Wu Yan and so on...... It's hard to generalize! ”

Zhang Huang and the others were stunned for a while, after all, they only thought that the eunuchs were a group of treacherous people before this, but after hearing Cao Cao's explanation, they realized that there were also loyal and righteous people among the eunuchs, and it could only be said that it was a few favored servants who did something to blacken their entire eunuch class.

I don't know how long we talked, but the carriage finally came to a slow stop.

"My lord, it's time to Fang Xianguan." The groom shouted outside.

Wei Wei Yingjun nodded, raised his hand and asked Zhang Huang and the others to get out of the carriage first, and then he and Cao Cao came down.

"How can there be any Fang Immortal View?"

After getting out of the carriage, Li Tong looked around, and when he saw that there was nothing around, he couldn't help but call out in dismay. If it weren't for the fact that he could still see the towering city wall of Luoyang in the distance, Li Tongzhen wondered if Ying Jun had taken them away from Luoyang and came to some desolate and remote country.

As if noticing the doubts in the eyes of Zhang Huang and the others, Wei Wei Yingjun explained in a low voice, "This is the northeast of Luoyang City, and the Son of Heaven has granted permission to the National Teacher, so that the Fifth Immortal Master can meditate and practice again. ”

"The Son of Heaven?" Zhang Huang showed an exaggerated expression when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "How old is the national teacher?" ”

"No one knows about this." Ying Jun shook his head and said, "It is said that when the first Yang was created, the Fifth Immortal Master had already established a square immortal temple here, meditating on cultivation, and not asking about the world. ”

[Dingdu Luoyang...... That was done by Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Guangwu Dynasty, almost more than 160 years, right? Good guy, what is the fifth house yuan, more than one hundred and sixty years old? Really? ]

Zhang Huang was secretly surprised in his heart. After thinking about it, he asked curiously, "Since the Fifth Immortal Master has not asked about the world for a long time, why did Brother Meng De and Lord Wei Wei ...... Seems to be jealous of this person's appearance? ”

"That's not a fear!" Ying Jun and Cao Cao invariably corrected: "Fifth Immortal Master, that's the real Immortal Master!" ”

[……]

Seeing the reverence in the eyes of the two of them, which did not look like a fake, Zhang Huang suddenly became curious about the fifth palace yuan.

"In front of me is Fang Xianguan, I'll walk a few miles away."

Ying Jun pointed to a Taoist temple in the distance and said.

Walking and walking, Zhang Huang's heart suddenly moved, and he looked up at the sky, but saw that there were countless armillary spheres suspended in the sky of Luoyang, but in a place in the northeast of Luoyang City, there was not even a trace of an armillary sphere.

[Even Zhang Rang didn't dare to provoke the fifth palace yuan? ] ]

Zhang Huang could more and more understand why, after hearing that the fifth palace of the national teacher was going to see him, even Yuan Shu, the concubine of the Yuan family with four doors and three dukes, could only leave with a calm face.

[Is the national teacher of the Great Han?] It seems that this person did not appear in the official history...... What kind of person would he be? Wait, Fifth House Yuan? I don't think I've heard this name somewhere......]

Suddenly, Zhang Huang's face changed suddenly, because he remembered that he seemed to have heard of this name from the mouth of the earth sword a few days ago.

[Isn't it?] It can't be the same as the loser, right? ]

Just when Zhang Huang faintly felt that something was not good, Fang Xianguan was already close at hand. In front of Fang Xianguan, more than a dozen young Confucian scholars wearing Confucian robes and swords tied around their waists walked up together.

[Jianru ......]

Seeing the ten sword confucians' clothes that were extremely similar to the Heavenly Sword and the Earth Sword, Zhang Huang suddenly felt bitter in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good. (To be continued......)
