Wei Qian is erudite and knowledgeable, otherwise he would not be able to become a famous person in Hedong. He knew about the proposition, but he had never heard of any drum music that could help people understand the destiny. For a long time, people who can understand the destiny are rare, and basically rely on luck, rely on the will of heaven, drum music can help people understand the destiny, which is tantamount to discovering a secret road to the depths of the treasure mountain, the significance of the dà, there is no doubt.

Even Wei Qi can't help but shake his heart for this.

He can not believe Liu Wei, but he can't believe Xun You. In fact, Xun Yu went and returned, which is enough to explain some problems. Wei Kai, as the head of the Wei family, can't help but consider this.

Seeing that Wei Qi was so shocked, Yang Xiu also laughed and explained: "Cai Bojiao got a clue from the ancient books, saying that ancient music has the same effect as mantras, which helps to stimulate the life character. This drum song is realized in the dream of His Majesty, and then Cai Yan refers to the ancient song, meditates for dozens of days, and watches the waves on the pillar. Wei Jun, after you listened to it, didn't you have an induction? ”

Wei Qi savored it for a moment and shook his head regretfully.

"It seems that you are a wise man, not a martial artist." Liu Wei smiled: "Wei Jun, I am not talented, if you want to reorganize the rivers and mountains and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, you not only need brave and fierce generals, but also need knowledgeable and talented wise men like you, I don't know if Wei Jun is willing to submit to Shang Shuling?" ”

Wei Qi almost choked. Shang Shuling is only a middle-level official of Qianshi, and his grade is not very high, but Shang Shuling masters Shang Shutai and is a veritable cardinal. He is still just a white body now, and as soon as the Son of Heaven says a word, he will be given the position of Shangshu Ling, what a weight and what a courage. If the Son of Heaven can be so courteous to Corporal Xian. If he is thirsty for talent, who dares to say that he can't revive the Han Dynasty?

Wei Qi was moved. He bowed. Gladly accepted.

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, if he put such a big bait, he would still be refused. Then he'll be in disgrace. The Wei family is a big clan in Hedong, and they have the support of the Wei family, which has a great effect on stabilizing the shape of Hedong. For this reason, he did not hesitate to throw out such a key position as Shang Shuling.

Of course, he once again saw the sympathy between the famous people of the family, and the impact of Xun You's entry into the dynasty on people's hearts.

……

The next day, Wei Qi officially accepted the expedition and appointed Shang Shuling. At the same time, he brought his younger brother Wei Guan over. Wei Gui is seventeen years old. He has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, is polite and polite, and is a talent.

Wei Kai liked this younger brother very much, and he sent Wei Guan to the Son of Heaven, firstly, in the hope of finding a position as a Langguan for his younger brother, and secondly, to win the trust of the Son of Heaven. Although Shang Shuling has not yet reached the level of a proton, Shang Shuling's position is important, and the Son of Heaven trusts him, of course he must also trust the Son of Heaven.

"What a beautiful boy." Liu Wei praised: "The Wei family is really talented. You two brothers are really inseparable. Wei Jun is the eldest brother. The word Boru, what is the word Lingdi? ”

"Giving up the younger brother is two, and the word is Zhongdao."

Wei Zhong ...... Road? Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of Cai Yan. In history, Cai Yan's husband seems to be Wei Zhongdao, right? It is said that it was shortly after the marriage. Wei Zhongdao died, but looking at the young man in front of him, it didn't look like he was dying early.

Could it be that history has turned here again? But think about it. Cai Yan, a talented woman, jumped up and cheered, what else is immutable. Liu Wei looked at Wei Guan appreciatively: "Are you Xiwen or good martial arts?" ”

Wei Guan's face was a little red. glanced at Wei Qi. Wei Qi smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything, and the minister brought her brother to see Your Majesty." It is also selfish. My Wei family is from Wuchen, although he has studied Confucianism, his martial style has not decreased. The younger brother is good at martial arts, and he worships famous teachers, but he can't enter the door. Yesterday, when he heard me talk about drum music, he was tempted to enter the guards of His Majesty, practice the twelve shapes, and become a generation of famous generals. ”

Liu Wei suddenly realized and smiled happily. He nodded again and again: "The ambition is good." However, the guards are all elite masters selected from various armies, and if you want to enter the guards, I'm afraid you will have to go through some examinations. In this way, you can be a halberd by my side first, and I will send a high finger to tap you a few times, and then conduct the assessment, how about it? ”

Wei Guan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Wei Qian saw it, but he was a little unimpressed, obviously, he was not very satisfied with Wei Guan's choice to devote himself to martial arts, he just doted on this younger brother and did not want to go against his will.

Liu Wei immediately called Zhang Xiu over and arranged for him to instruct Wei Guan to practice martial arts. For now, among the generals around Liu Wei, Zhang Xiu is the only master who follows the right path and realizes his fate, and it is very suitable for him to guide Wei Guan. Although Lu Bu's martial arts and cultivation are high, his opportunities are not available to ordinary people, and he can't be cultivated according to his methods.

……

Liu Wei stayed in Hedong until the fifth day of the first lunar month, hardly a day was idle, and he had to be busy meeting the gentry of Hedong every day. Hedong not only has a solid household registration, nearly 100,000 households, and is currently the top county in the prefecture and county that Liu Wei can directly control, and the geographical location is important, the east can go straight to Luoyang, the west can go straight to Chang'an, and Hongnong County is sandwiched by the river, controlling the traffic between the two capitals, just like the two ribs of people. Liu Bianhao gambled and rushed to help Hedong, because once Hedong loses, Luoyang and Chang'an will have problems.

If Liu Wei wants to deal with Yuan Shao with peace of mind, he must first settle Hedong. In order to stabilize Hedong, it is necessary to stabilize and merge the state.

Wei Qi recommended a person to Liu Wei: Pei Mao.

Pei Mao is a person who likes the Pei family, he entered the office when he was Emperor Ling, he did the county order, Taishou, and the soldiers in Guanzhong, he abandoned the official and fled, and is currently living in seclusion at home, closing the door to thank guests.

Liu Wei asked Yang Xiudao: "Have you seen Pei Mao these days?" ”

"Pei Mao is sick and can't see guests, so he hasn't seen the driver."

"Did the Pei family send a representative?"

Yang Xiu shook his head. Liu Wei's heart sank, even if Pei Mao was sick, the Pei family should also send a representative, and he didn't even look at him, which shows that the Pei family doesn't plan to have anything to do with me. It seems that although this Pei Mao does not plan to attach himself to Yuan Shao, he has no good impression of me.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, Pei Mao is indeed sick, but his loyalty to the court is safe. The reason why he didn't send a representative was because he was fighting with his eldest son Pei Qian, and refused to let him represent the Pei family, and the other children were too young to attend such an occasion. ”

"Pei Qian?" Liu Wei felt that the name seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. "What's wrong with him?"

"Pei Qian is uninhibited, arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't like Pei Mao."

Liu Wei smiled: "Extraordinary people, there must be extraordinary talents, so to speak, I fell to see this Pei Qian." ”

……

Wen Xi is thirty miles north of Anyi.

Liu Wei refused the request to enter the city, asked Zhang Xiu and others to wait outside the city, changed into civilian clothes, and took Wang Yue, Shi A and a few strong martial arts officials, entered Wenxi City, and came to Xingpingli, where Pei's house was located, and was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Wei Guan.

Soon after joining the company, he followed the son of heaven and traveled slightly, and Wei Guan was a little excited. "Your Majesty, if you want to see Pei Qian's true face, please come with your ministers."

Liu Bian's curiosity grew. He knew that Wei Guan and Pei Qian were close in age and had similar personalities, they were both different in the family, and they usually had a lot of contacts. Pei Qian is a few years older and is an idol of Weiguan. It is most suitable to follow Wei Guan to catch Pei Qian.

Liu Wei followed Wei Guan, along the inner wall, turned half a circle, and came to the back wall of Xingpingli. Wei Guan asked Liu Wei and the others to hide aside, and sang at the top of his voice.

"The grass on the banks of the green river, thinking about the distance. The distance is incredible, and the ...... I dreamed of in the past"

He sang the Yuefu poem "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves", which expressed the feelings of the woman who stayed alone in the empty house for her husband on the expedition, and the tune was sad and sincere. Wei Guan stepped on and sang, and the singing voice was clear and moving. When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After a while, I heard a sound from inside the inner wall, and then a man poked his head out of the inner wall, looked around, and shouted, "Zhongdao, stop singing, you want to sing my father." ”

Wei Guan smiled: "Ling Zun's illness is cured?" ”

"He doesn't have any illness, and he doesn't cure me yet." Pei lurked on the wall and grinned: "I heard that you have a crush on that little lady who dances the drum, and for the sake of a kiss to Fang Ze, you still want to mix with the Son of Heaven to be a Lang official?" ”

Wei Guan's face suddenly turned white, and he hurriedly stopped: "Brother Wen Xing, the rumors stop at the wise, why are you following the nonsense?" Your Pei family did not attend the banquet of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven was very unhappy. ”

"What can you do if you're not happy?" Pei Qian didn't know what the plan was, and said leisurely: "If everything is against today, Yuan Shao said that he wanted to set up a new monarch on the side of the Qing monarch, but in fact, he just imitated Wang Mang and wanted to stand on his own behalf of the Han Dynasty." The court is too busy to take care of itself, so it won't be difficult to get along with us for this little thing, right? Speaking of which, our Pei family is loyal to the imperial court, otherwise, my father would not have abandoned his official position and fled. ”

"What is loyal to the imperial court, it's just a matter of sitting on the sidelines." Wei Guan sneered: "If you are really loyal to the imperial court, why don't your father and son serve the imperial court?" ”

"There is no way to serve the country." Pei Qian sighed, and he didn't know if it was true or not: "My father's thoughts, I don't dare to say, am I myself, but it's a little interesting to look at the Son of Heaven, but my father is still here, he doesn't like me, he doesn't let me go out, what do you think I can do?" According to the system of the imperial court, there is a father who is a taishou, why should I go to the palace to be a lang official and guard the son of heaven, right? ”

"Do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go." Pei Qian smiled: "I'm a little curious about the Son of Heaven. In the past few months, he has been very different from the legendary waste Shihou. I really want to see what he looks like up close, whether he has understood his destiny and has been reborn. ”

"Want to see it?" Liu Wei turned around from the corner of the wall, put his hands behind his back, and walked over with Shi Shiran: "I'm here." ”

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Wang Yue, Shi A and Lang Guan behind Liu Bian, and saw Wei Guan bowing to Liu Bian, calling his majesty, his feet were weak, he slipped down the ladder, plopped, and fell firmly.

"Oh hey, my ass-" A scream came from the courtyard wall, and then, the ladder sounded, Pei Qian re-exposed his head, turned over over the inner wall, jumped down, covered his ass with one hand, and held the wall with the other, limping towards Liu Wei. (To be continued......)
