Wei Ba hurriedly got up to greet him, opened the middle door, and the gentry and generals who went to the banquet also hurriedly got up and lined up to greet each other. At this time, the Chengdu imperial court must have been a reward for Wei Ba's military exploits in pacifying Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and the thickness of the reward is directly related to how much power Wei Ba has, and it will affect the future interests of everyone here, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Jiang Wan followed Wei Ba out to greet him, and as soon as he saw the messenger, he felt a "chuckle" in his heart, and a strong uneasiness swelled up.

He knew this messenger as Fa Miao, the son of Fa Zheng.

There is no doubt that when Fa Zheng was alive, he was Liu Bei's first confidant, and Liu Bei was obedient to Fa Zheng. Even Zhuge Liang had to admit this, so he said when Liu Bei's army was defeated and Yiling that if Fa Xiaozhi was there, he would definitely be able to persuade Bixia not to fight this battle, even if he went, he would not be defeated miserably.

However, although Fa Zheng was domineering for a while and rampant in Chengdu, he was not able to be crowned a marquis until his death, which was probably his only regret except for his early death, and it was also Liu Bei's regret. When Fa Zheng died, Liu Bei regretted that he gave Fa Miao the title of Marquis of Guannei, and let Fa Miao be by his side, thinking that he would wait for Fa Miao to be older and exercise for a few years, and then he would be of great use, who would have thought that Yiling would be defeated in a battle, Liu Bei soon followed Fa Zheng.

As soon as Liu Bei died, Zhuge Liang was in power, Fa Miao completely stood aside, his title was still there, but his official position was not promoted, and his Guannei Marquis was just a virtual lord, there was no food, only with his official salary, his life was not very comfortable.

Such a person suddenly became the emperor's messenger. came to Jingzhou to pass the edict, although the official position may not be high, it shows that he has officially stepped into the official career, not just a reserver.

With a reserve like Lang Zhong taking up a formal official position, just like Zhao Tong, who has been in the palace for many years, finally seized the opportunity to go to Wuling with Wei Ba, and soared into the sky from then on, this is a threshold. Many people can't cross this threshold and become a Lang official for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Wan immediately thought of Li Yan, who could make someone like Fa Miao stand out. There is no need to think about what the prime minister will think. The only person who can not take the opposition of the Jing Xiang family in his eyes is Li Yan.

The prime minister was in Guanzhong, and he was ordered to come to Jingzhou again, and now there is no one in Chengdu who can check and balance Li Yan. Dong Yun was originally a person in the palace arranged by the prime minister. But in the face of a character like Li Yan. Dong Yun is not enough at all.

Fa Miao went to the court. The emperor's edict was announced, and the result surprised Jiang Wan even more. Emperor Bixia worshiped Wei Ba as the general of Zhennan and the marquis of Xiangxiang. 800 households. This official doesn't look very big, but if you think about Wei Ba's father, Wei Yan, who is just a general in Zhenbei and the Marquis of Nanzheng, you can know how heavy this reward is. Eight hundred townspeople, not to mention Wei Ba's age, even if it is the entire Shu Han, it is one of the few.

Because of the separation of the Three Kingdoms, there are two forms of knighthood. One is called Yaoling, that is, the place of origin is the fiefdom, like Zhang Fei is the Marquis of Xixiang, Zhuge Liang is the Marquis of Wuxiang, Xixiang is in Zhuo County, and Wuxiang is in Langya. This kind of knighthood is more of an honor, because you can't really go back and run your own estate, and you can get just a lease. There is also a kind of real sealing, that is, the place of the seal can send people to establish a manor and actually manage it, like Wei Ba's case, Xiangxiang is now within his jurisdiction, he can establish a manor in Xiangxiang, and actually manage various affairs in the manor. This was also the case with the Marquis of Nanzheng of Wei Yan, which was within the ruling area of Shu Han, so the Wei family's manor in Nanzheng could be retained.

After listening to the edict, those who knew the inside story couldn't help but exclaim.

Although Jiang Wan's face did not change much, the worry in his heart became heavier. He knew very well that this was unlikely to be Liu Chan's idea, it could only be Li Yan's idea. Although Li Yan and Wei Ba did not have direct contact, there seems to be a tacit understanding between them, the last time Wei Ba refused to return to Chengdu, it is said that there was Li Yan's influence in it, and now Li Yan took advantage of Zhuge Liang's absence in Chengdu to reward Wei Ba in the name of the emperor, which naturally meant to repay Li with a peach.

Wei Ba accepted the edict, thanked him, and changed the seal of General Zhennan in front of everyone, and wore the seal of the Marquis of Xiangxiang to accept everyone's congratulations. Immediately, he asked Fa Miao to announce the rewards for the meritorious soldiers in public, which made it even more lively, you must know that except for Zhao Tong, Jin Dongliu and others, most of the meritorious soldiers were present, and every time they reported a person's name, they all caused a burst of cheers, and Xiangguan City suddenly became a city of joy, and the cheers could be heard even outside the city.

The list of rewards was very long, and it took half an hour to read it, and Fa Miao handed the edict to Wei Ba, arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the general." Now your father, son and brother are one family and three marquis, which is gratifying. ”

Wei Ba hahadaxiao, holding Fa Miao and taking a seat. Fa Miao shook his hand and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, let me introduce you to two talents." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wan's eyebrows couldn't help jumping. Wei Ba was also a little surprised, but he still smiled and said: "If you can be praised by the Fajun, you must be a masterpiece in the world, today's Xiangguan City is really full of sages, and it is full of friends." ”

Fa Miao smiled and beckoned to the two scribes in their thirties who had been following him: "Wen Ran, Boda, don't you come to see the general, do you want someone to invite you?" ”

The two scribes walked over with a smile and bowed to Wei Ba.

"Qianwei Yang opera, meet the general."

"Shu Jun Zhang Biao, meet the general."

Jiang Wan was finally moved, he turned his head and showed a bitter smile to Lai Kuo, and Lai Kuo's face was already pale. It's no wonder that they are Yang Xi, Yang Xi is a native of Qianwei Wuyang, and Yang Hong is the same clan, after Yang Hong's death, he is the representative of Qianwei. That's it, after all, Qianren is of average strength and has no real power. But Zhang Biao is different, he is a native of Chengdu, Shu County, and his father is Zhang Song, who once made great contributions to Liu Bei's entry into Shu, and Zuihou also gave away his life.

These two people came to Jingzhou to attach themselves to Wei Ba, which represented the official statement of the Yizhou department to Wei Ba. In contrast, Fa Miao represents the Dongzhou system.

Li Yan is really generous, and Jiang Wan is not allowed to be nervous. He suddenly felt that the prime minister had made a big mistake this time.

"Wen Ran is as famous as his name, and his writing is brilliant. It is placed in the Central Plains, and it is also a splendid article, not allowing others. Boda is wise and scheming, and he is a handsome man in Shu. They usually have no one in their eyes, but when they heard about the general's great military exploits, they were moved to come and meet the general. ”

Wei Ba hurriedly said modestly: "Fajun smiled, he occasionally had a small skill, and he was also a god-blessed man, with bixia and prime ministers. There are soldiers under him who use their lives. Where do I dare to be greedy for heaven's work? I'm afraid I'm going to make you sage laugh. Come on, come on, since you deign to come, let's have a drink together, get rid of the old and welcome the new. Let's create a new situation for Dahan. ”

Fa Miao and the others looked at each other. Smiled knowingly.

Everyone raised their glasses together. Congratulations to Wei Ba again. If the Lingling clan was still a little indignant just now, now seeing Wei Ba so favored, that bit of injustice would have been thrown out of the clouds. Not afraid of current officials. I'm afraid that he will be in charge now, Wei Ba will definitely be the most official military and political chief here in the future, and going against him will undoubtedly be difficult to get along with. These families may have a little strength here, but when it comes to confronting the imperial court, they are not opponents at all.

At the moment, congratulations were everywhere, only Jiang Wan and Lai Wei were very lonely.

In the back hall, Xiahou Hui was drinking with a group of women, and when he got the news from the front yard, he immediately cheered, and all kinds of flattery and flattery came in a surge. Everyone knows that before Wei Ba's wife Guan Feng did not go to Lingling - according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that Guan Feng will not be able to come to Lingling - Xiahou Hui is naturally Wei Ba's inner leader, if you want to have a good relationship with Wei Ba, of course, you must first have a good relationship with Xiahou Hui.

The congratulations were endless, even if Xiahou Hui only touched her lips every time, it also made her cheeks red.

……

Chengdu, Hussar General's Mansion.

Li Yan and Li Feng sat face to face, accompanied by Hu Zhong and Cheng Fan, who joined the army. Li Yan said with a smile: "Fa Miao should rush to Lingling now, right?" ”

Li Feng said with a smile: "What my father cares about, he can still do it, even if he travels day and night, he must also arrive before the arrival of the New Year and give Wei Ba a big gift." ”

Li Yan smiled, played with the jade cup in his hand, and looked at the amber-like wine in the cup. "Cast it with papaya, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Although Wei Ba is young, he knows how powerful he is, which is much stronger than his father. However, he was still young, and with such full support for Guanzhong, how much grain did he think would fall into his father's hands? Besides, it is not very safe to transport grain directly from Jingzhou to Xiangyang and pass through the territory of the Wu people. ”

Before Li Feng could speak, Hu Zhong picked up the conversation: "What the general said is very true. Although the war in Guanzhong is tense, so is the food in Chengdu. Although it is more convenient to transport from Jingzhou, the safety cannot be guaranteed, and it is safer to transfer it to Yizhou, and in this way, it is more convenient for the general to make overall allocation. ”

Li Yan smiled with satisfaction. He took a sip of wine, paused the wine on his tongue for a moment, and then swallowed it slowly, and said calmly with Zhizhu in his hand: "I believe that Wei Ba is a smart person, and he will know the stakes." Even if he was confused for a moment, Fa Miao would remind him. What a haode talent, the prime minister just refuses to use it, I really can't figure it out. The world is so big, why should talents be limited to Jingxiang? Or Wei Ba has a measure and knows the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish. ”

Cheng Fan looked at Li Yan a little blankly, he didn't quite understand what Li Yan meant, that is, he believed in Li Yan's vision. Seeing that Li Yan spoke so highly of Wei Ba, he hurriedly echoed a few words: "If you want to say that you are an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, among the young people now, Wei Ba is indeed outstanding. His record after entering Wuling can only be compared with the general's record of pacifying Ma Qin and Gao Sheng. ”

Li Yan smiled reservedly: "I'm old, I'm old, I can't mention that little thing back then." The future is terrifying, and I don't dare to be ugly. ”

Hu Zhong's eyes rolled: "General, now that the Han and Wu alliances are good, and Wei Ba is blocked in Jiangnan, then only the general can afford the next battle in Xiangyang." ”

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Don't worry, I don't want to follow in Guan Yu's footsteps." Now that it's easy to return to Chengdu, I'd better stay a few more days so that I can see the scenery of Chengdu and discuss it later. As for Xiangyang, presumably Wu Yi will be very interested. ”…… (To be continued......)
