Chapter 125: Troubles Follow-up

Of course, Xu Ji didn't have the good intentions to keep Zhang Miao, but he really couldn't solve Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao's identity as a guard has always been firmly suppressed by Xu Ji, Xu Ji can't dare to deal with it at will just by finding some specious evidence like dealing with Liu Xian and Wei Zhong, the crime of disrespecting Shangguan is not small, and the other party is still a so-called "someone in the court" like Zhang Miao.

It is not known how Yuan Shao will react, although the scholars do not have a heavy voice above the court, but they have always firmly controlled public opinion, and once they fall into a bad reputation, they don't have to think about any progress in their careers. And provoked Yuan Shao, the most outstanding person of this generation from the fourth and third princes' family, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to walk, Yuan's family is known as a protégé and the old officials are all over the world, Xu Ji has no doubt that as long as Yuan Shao expresses his position, his life will be extremely uncomfortable, after all, there are not a few guys who want to climb the lintel of the Yuan family.

Therefore, although Xu Ji wanted Zhang Miao's life very much, he still had to endure the anger in his heart, and the detention was not a long-term solution, after all, this was Chen Liutaishou, it is difficult to say that no one in Yu County wanted to tie up with this, Xu Ji knew very well that Zhang Miao's temptation was definitely not small, so Xu Ji simply threw Zhang Miao into Gao Shun's camp, the reason is very simple, Gao Shun's camp in addition to Gao Shun and the rest of the people who want to enter must be allowed, and the only people who can be allowed are Xu Ji and Gao Shun. Xu Ji really didn't want to see this Taishou anymore, and he didn't want him to make trouble for himself.

However, although the battle of Yuxian was won, in fact, Xu Ji did not get as much as he imagined, Zhang Miao was captured, but Bei Chenliu was still controlled by his subordinates. Xu Jike never thought that he could coerce them into handing over Bei Chenliu with Zhang Miao in his hand, so in fact, Xu Ji paid a lot of money and did not reap any substantial returns. The only thing he got was that Xu Ji's reputation had risen again, and the defeat of the army of Taishou in a county could be said to have completely demonstrated Xu Ji's military talent.

Although Xu Ji relied on his military exploits to sit in the position of post supervisor earlier. However, his age has always been untrustworthy, but this time it is a reality that is really in front of him, and no one dares to underestimate this sixteen-year-old boy anymore, of course, this is limited to Chen Liuyi County and Yingchuan.

Xu Ji is a complicated existence for the Shilin of Yingchuan, first of all, Xu Ji is not a person with the same interests as them, and even Xu Ji has a very bad relationship with them, but the Shilin of Yingchuan has to admit that Xu Ji is indeed a Shizi of Yingchuan, and he is also an extremely excellent one. It can be said that no one in Yingchuan Shizi, who was at the same time as Xu Ji, has not done these things that Xu Ji did, and from this point of view, Yingchuan Shilin should be honored. But in fact, Xu Ji himself doesn't think that he is a Yingchuan scholar, he thinks he is a Jingxiang scholar. However, the story of Xu Ji in Yingchuan can be regarded as a very legendary character, of course, these Xu Ji himself is not very clear.

The reason why Yingchuan's scholars are mentioned is also because after Xu Ji defeated or even captured Zhang Miao, there were some rumors in Yingchuan, many of which satirized the families who forced Xu Ji to leave, and the families naturally couldn't say it, Xu Ji now seems to be the flaunt of Yingchuan scholars, but this person's position is opposite to the family. Therefore, the controversy over Xu Ji in Yingchuan is also very great, and the scholars of the Han family all take Xu Ji as an example, but most of the children of the family do not look down on it.

Of course, Xun Yu is the small number of children of the family. And at this time, Xun Yu was also really distressed, he didn't expect Xu Ji's methods to be so powerful, Zhang Miao arrived in Yu County less than ten days to defeat him or even capture him, this is a good thing, but many of Xun Yu's preparations have not been completed. So I was a little caught off guard by the trouble this time.

Xun Yu has moved to live outside Xun Mansion since he got married, and the so-called family has not yet become a business, but he is already famous. Sooner or later, someone will come to conquer, so for Xun Yu's move, Xun agreed without any obstacles. And Xun Yu's move outside the Xun Mansion is just to make it more convenient for him, after all, he still shoulders the responsibility of guiding Xu Ji's speech. And Guo Jia's remaining manpower also needs him to arrange some points.

At this time, the news of Xu Ji's victory over Zhang Miao had reached Yingchuan for two days, in order for Xu Ji to be less blamed, so he secretly made these remarks from the Hanmen scholars, as for the charge of disrespecting Shangguan, Xun Yu naturally had a way to clear Xu Ji's name, but I am afraid it will take some time. As for Yuan Shao's hidden dangers, of course, Xun Yu didn't take it into account, but at this time, he really couldn't take care of him, but fortunately, there was still a way, and his method was very simple, since Zhang Miao was Yuan Shao's friend, so if he wanted to make Yuan Shao not embarrassed, Xu Ji naturally had to start from Yuan Shao's friend, and Cao Cao was obviously the best choice.

More importantly, Cao Cao and Xu Ji have some friendship, and from some attitudes, it can be seen that Cao Cao is extremely optimistic about Xu Ji, and the things entrusted by Xu Ji are not very troublesome for Cao Cao.

The problem on Yuan Shao's side can be ignored for the time being, but the primary trouble must be solved, and the imperial court will deal with Xu Ji like this? This is a difficult thing to guess, Xu Ji's matter this time can be big or small, if the court wants to investigate what dismissal and investigation will be light, it can't be a crime of exile from the army; But to put it mildly, it can just punish Xu Ji's Yulu as a warning.

If this is put in Xun Yu, the princess is definitely not worried, but now Xu Ji is a guy who has no good impression of today, and now he has committed this thing, Xun Yu can't see any possibility for Xu Ji to stay in Chenliu. But there are still opportunities, but they are not in the hands of themselves or even Xu Ji, and this feeling of being unable to grasp makes Xun Yu very powerless.

Speaking of Xu Ji, he was really tired at this time, and he had been carefully planning and calculating Zhang Miao for several days, and he did succeed in the end, but Xu Ji's mental energy was really not small, so he immediately closed his door after returning to Yu County. Fortunately, Xu Ji's own official position is just to supervise the post, and when he visited the county, he had already disposed of Liu Xian and Wei Zhong, and the people of Nan Chenliu were indeed very tolerant of this young and promising postmaster, although Xu Ji ignored government affairs, he was still very popular. As for Zhang Miao? The people of Nan Chenliu don't say everything, at least the people in Yu County don't know who Lu Dao is. It was Xu Ji instead of Zhang Miao who made Yuxian so good now, and they naturally didn't have any respect for Zhang Miao.

But Xu Ji didn't really rest. He also didn't have time to rest, and the reason he avoided the guests was because he needed a quiet environment to think. Xu Ji's worry is also the court's treatment of himself, although he was forced to fight back, but he himself is indeed untenable, and Zhang Miao's connections are definitely wider than his own, from this point of view, or killing Zhang Miao is a better choice, but once he kills Zhang Miao, he is blatantly ignoring the laws of the Han Dynasty, so he has no chance of surviving, and now at most, he has lost his official position and some of the plans he is planning now, these Xu Ji can afford to lose.

It's just that Xu Ji is unwilling. is really unwilling, Zhang Miao lost the war but had the last laugh? This kind of result is simply a joke, but the reality seems to be developing towards this joke, Xu Ji is obviously the winner of this battle, but it seems that he is going to end up miserable, how can people be willing? No matter how indifferent Xu Ji is, it is difficult to accept this reality, but he really has no way to resist, just like Yining's departure.

But this is by no means the result that Xu Ji wants, although it is difficult for him to make a difference now, Xu Ji is not a person who gives up easily, and what Xu Ji can do is prepare for the worst. Xu Jike will not accept this kind of failure for no reason.

At this time, the court in Luoyang also quarreled over this matter, and the quarrel between the eunuchs and relatives was also to compete for resources, and Yuan Shao at this time was already a staff member of the general He Jin, and his attitude was naturally not long. Xu Ji must be severely punished, and the eunuchs are against it, and their reasons are simple. The Han Dynasty needs such military talents, otherwise would it be necessary to rely on a group of people who can only dance and write and show off their talents to lead the troops to fight? Obviously, the eunuchs did not look down on the so-called Qingliu scribes either.

And this is not the first time that this kind of quarrel has occurred. Since the news of Zhang Miao's defeat reached Luoyang, there has been a lot of quarrel for two consecutive days because of this matter. Regarding Xu Ji, Liu Hong also has his own opinions.

In his eyes, Xu Ji is undoubtedly a person with real talent and learning, but he is also a guy who is difficult to control, and more importantly, this kid somehow abducted his baby daughter's heart, and said good things for Xu Ji more than once after the girl was picked up from Chen Liu. But the reason why Liu Hong didn't respond was very simple, he wasn't sure if Xu Ji was someone he could trust, to be honest, the ten permanent servants were now a big deal for Liu Hong, and the eunuchs who were used to suppress their relatives were now quite a bit of a rival with their relatives, and his own emperor had become a little insignificant, which was something he couldn't accept.

So Liu Hong has his own plans, and the reason why he has been controlled by others for many years is very simple, he does not have an army that he controls by himself, the military power is in the hands of the general He Jin, and he can only use the army through Queen He, but frankly speaking, Liu Hong has long been tired of Queen He.

And if you want to master your own military power, you must compromise somewhat, Liu Hong knows this, but although the idea of forming a new army has been around for a long time, but there are never a few generals who can be trusted, Jian Shuo is of course trustworthy, but Jian Shuo is a eunuch who knows very little about military affairs, and Qingliu and the party, Liu Hong is not counting on it at all, even if these people are loyal to themselves, but once there are conflicts and contradictions with the family and party behind them, these people will never choose themselves.

And the appearance of Xu Ji gave Liu Hong a new choice, Liu Hong had already checked Xu Ji's bottom, this is a person who is not liked by Qingliu, he was born in Yingchuan but has a deep contradiction with Yingchuan Shilin, and more importantly, this person is not a child of a family. This series of identities is almost perfect, and what satisfies Liu Hong the most is that Xu Ji's military talent is outstanding, this is undoubtedly the person he needs, but Liu Hong also knows very well that such a person is never so easy to control, from Chen Liu's incident, you can see Xu Ji's temperament, Liu Hong has no confidence to be able to use such a person. People like Xu Ji are like a sharp double-edged sword, once they are not used well, they will backfire against their masters, and Liu Hong's hesitation is precisely because of this.

And from the very beginning of the fight Liu Hong did not intend to severely punish Xu Ji, as the ten permanent servants said, the Han lacks such a general, although Xu Ji is still young, but it is a good material and beautiful jade, Liu Hong still remembers that Zhu Jun resigned and returned to his hometown to guard filial piety before he said such a thing to himself: "If Wen Lie is at the age of a minister, he will be the pillar of the country." Although Liu Hong is not fully convinced. But Zhu Jun's ability to rely on this is enough to show Xu Ji's ability, and Xu Ji has played under Zhu Jun. He must know Xu Ji better than himself, so Zhu Jun seems to have said unintentionally: "Wen Lie has a strong temperament." But it is inevitable that there is some conceit, the so-called too rigid and easy to break, and it needs to be sharpened. ”

Liu Hong didn't know what kind of character Xu Ji was, but it was not difficult to guess that this young superintendent who had this achievement but was still not arrogant and impatient had actually surprised Liu Hong, and it could also be seen that Xu Ji's character was not bad, so the conceit that Zhu Jun knew must be Xu Ji's conceit of his own ability, and these are irrelevant to Liu Hong, what he wants is Xu Ji's ability.

It's just that Liu Hong doesn't intend to inform these so-called ministers of his humerus above the court. Few of these guys are useful but they want this and that from themselves all day long, once something happens, they will only cringe, as for what they want to do, although Liu Hong already has a plan, he is not mature, Xu Ji himself is bound to use it, and it is not too difficult to subdue this kid, as long as Xu Ji becomes his son-in-law, everything will be solved, as for the problem of relatives, Liu Hong is not too lazy to think about it. If it weren't for He Jin, this waste was too unsuccessful, how could he be subject to the Ten Standing Servants? And this waste not only does not know how to do things for himself, but is bent on seeking status for his own family, which simply makes Liu Hong move to kill, if it weren't for the fact that this butcher has the power of the army in his hands, Liu Hong would have beheaded him a long time ago.

Liu Hong knew very well that if he wanted to form a new army, whether it was a relative or a eunuch, he would inevitably want to stuff his own people into it, but Liu Hong's plan was that this new army must be firmly in his own hands. Therefore, Jian Shuo must be among them, and if he recruits Xu Ji, then he will definitely give him a seat, and the rest of the matter is how he can take advantage of Xu Ji's provocation to propose the formation of a new army. How should I protect Xu Ji, this is not just for my own plan. It's also for my precious daughter.

Of course, Yin Ning can't hide the fact that he likes Xu Ji, and Liu Hong was originally a little dissatisfied with Xu Ji. But now he feels that he has saved a lot of trouble, if Xu Ji really has no desires, he wants to make him loyal, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, but now it is a simple matter.

As for whether Xu Ji will become a more terrible relative than He Jin, Liu Hong is not without a trace of worry, but it is more meaningful to solve the matter in front of him first than this seemingly slightly distant matter, not to mention that Xu Ji is pressed by Jian Shuo, and it is not easy for this kid to turn over some waves to break things.

At this point, Liu Hong simply got up and walked away, he had to show his dissatisfaction, and his own behavior would naturally have people guess his purpose, Liu Hong did this to confuse the civil and military officials of this court, if his intentions were seen through his scheme, he was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed, not to mention that he was really annoyed at this time, these guys were fighting for nothing more than to be able to fight for greater interests for their side, but Xu Ji must be his own person, Liu Hong knew very well that he needed henchmen, This hall full of civil and military affairs is not such an existence, but Xu Ji, who is far away in Chenliu, still does not know that he has unknowingly become the confidant of today's son.

Of course, Xu Ji does not have as much trouble as Liu Hong to deal with, but he is facing a lot of troubles, first of all, Xi Zhicai's serious injury, which has not yet healed, although the news from Jiangxia is that Zhang Ji has been found, but after all, the road is far away. And Xi Zhong's body is also getting worse, originally he was a little weak due to perennial drinking, but now this time he almost died, Xu Ji admired this guy's hard life. However, Xu Ji is not qualified to ridicule others, he himself has narrowly escaped death several times, and when it comes to hard life, he is afraid that his life is harder than anyone's life.

In addition to Xizhong's side, Xu Ji also had to go to Xiangyi again, this time his trouble was really unexpected, someone from Xuzhou came, claiming to be entrusted by Mi Zhu to send a letter, and the content of the letterhead was to ask Xu Ji to go to Xiangyi and say that he would know what to do at that time.

This can't help Xu Ji refuse, Mi Zhu is his brother, Xu Qian is the helper he found from Mi Zhu, and since Mi Zhu said that it must be extremely important to explain, Xu Ji has to temporarily put down the matter at hand to meet this person.

But Xu Ji probably didn't expect who the person he was going to meet would be. But it doesn't matter, all Xu Ji cares about is why the other party came to Chenliu thousands of miles away, so although he faced this huge trouble, Xu Ji still resolutely put down the affairs in his hand and immediately went to Xiangyi with Dian Wei.

Xu Ji also guessed that he was about to turn over into another identity just a few days later, and Xu Ji was still in trouble at this time, and the number of affairs really made him a little physically and mentally exhausted.

But troubles always have to be solved. Even if you can't solve it, you still have to face it, don't you? (To be continued......)
