Chapter 403: Justified
In a large mansion in Chang'an, there are people banqueting guests, not a big banquet, but like a few close friends, occasionally get together, but the food on the table is very luxurious, ordinary people basically can't eat these, now the entire Han Dynasty, famine is everywhere, there are not a few people who starve to death, you can think of a luxurious place here, there are definitely not many.
"For example, today's division, bandits swarming, princes compete, shepherds and counties, all are bootstrapped, there is no Han court in the eyes, the land of Kanto, the people are not living, Gongsun rebelled in Shuobei, Zhang Yan conspired in Montenegro, Cao Cao was poisoned in Yanyu, Liu Biao was in Jingxiang, and Changtian was poisoned in Jiangnan, all of which were thieves of rebellion. It's ridiculous that Changtian tried to recommend himself as a shepherd, which was extremely crazy! "An old man was making a big fuss in a room.
It can be seen from his words that this goods are obviously towards Er Yuan, anyway, those rebellions have nothing to do with Er Yuan, as for Changtian and Cao Cao, they are both anti-thieves, and they should be cut by a thousand cuts.
"Hahaha, what the public says is very true. Zi said: If the name is not right, the words will not be good, and if the words are not good, the things will not be done. Although the thief is not wise, he must still understand such simple truths. Another person laughed, obviously saying cool things and mocking Changtian.
But in fact, what he said was not wrong, it was exactly what Changtian needed, Wu County would be his base, and it was also the first official Han Dynasty territory to occupy, so he hoped to obtain it by force as much as possible, which was not beneficial to his own prestige and the pacification of the people.
This is the starting point of Changtian's insistence on repairing the book and Shengxian, hoping that he will abdicate and make way for Xian, instead of leading his troops to attack Wu County, precisely for the sake of justification.
And the so-called justification, of course, can only be counted after having the will of the imperial court.
Let Boss Cao be recommended by everyone, which is better than snatching by force, but it is not really justified, and Tian Kai is purely appointed by Gongsun Zhan, which is simply a forcible land grab, which is completely uncourteous, so Tian Kai is in Qingzhou, and his life is not peaceful. Thanks to the yellow scarves in Qingzhou, he has run out of his hometown, otherwise escaping back to Youzhou is the only thing Tian Kai can do.
Relative to Tian Kai, Tao Qian's position belongs to the category of justification, but Tao Qian's life is not good, since Tao Qian's head, with the title of "traitor", everyone looks at him a little strange, Tao Qian is worried all day long, for fear that someone will kill him, the whole person has lost a few laps, it can be described as extremely embarrassing, all day long panic.
Fortunately, thanks to the violent outbreak of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, the people of Xuzhou County had to unite, which gave Tao Qian a chance to breathe, but Tao Qian also knew that this was not a long-term solution, so he begged Zhao Yu and Wang Lang who he promoted with all his might.
Zhao Yu is an honest man, Wang Lang has a good heart, it is not Tao Qian Zhao Yu can't be the Taishou of Guangling, Wang Lang can't raise Maocai, and he can't be engaged in Xuzhou governance.
Therefore, the two came up with a way for Tao Qian, to go to Chang'an to pay tribute to the imperial court, in order to show his Tao Qian's support for the Han family and the Son of Heaven, and the name himself is still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
Tao Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, and sent Zhao Yu to Chang'an to pay tribute, and brought 10,000 gold, but Xiao Liu Xie, when he saw the first prince who publicly supported him, the joy was beyond words, and he ordered Tao Qian to be the pastor of Xuzhou on the spot, and at the same time promoted Wang Lang to be the chief inspector.
Changtian naturally didn't know about Nagong's ministerhood, and he asked Jiang Gan to bring many of Luoxia's specialties, including tea and wine, dozens of good horses, many famous weapons and armor, and a full 50,000 gold.
However, as the envoy of Changtian, the hostility he received was several times that of other princes who were called thieves, in the final analysis, it was not only Changtian who offended them, but Changtian's own alien identity was also one of the great factors, these people, I can't see it, a stranger climbed to the top of his head and became a powerful prince, and this kind of thing will encounter more in the future.
A group of people in the mansion pointed to the sky and scolded the earth, lamented the injustice of the world, and scolded the traitors for being in charge, but what they ate and drank was jade liquid elixir, big fish and big meat, and the difference between the poor people inside and outside Chang'an City was simply the difference between heaven and earth. The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is what is said.
Jiang Gan had already arrived at Zhao Qian's mansion at this time, Jiang Gan looked at the Sili Captain's Mansion with the door closed, and frowned a little, this kind of Gyeonggi important land, when he shouldn't close the door, he was a little puzzled.
Knocking on the door, roll call, and spreading the word, the identity of Changtian's envoy is still very useful in the old man's mansion, and soon Jiang Gan saw Zhao Qian in the living room.
"Right General's Mansion Peng, Jiujiang Jiang Gan Jiang Ziyi, I have seen Lord Zhao, the captain of Si Li!" Jiang Gan saluted very solemnly, showing full respect.
"It turned out that Jiang Ziyi, who was alone in Huainan with his eloquence, missed the distance." Zhao Qian's somewhat haggard face still showed a hint of a smile, this is a person from Changtian, this is enough.
"It's just a false name, not enough to worry about."
"Ziyi is too modest, the old man and the right general of your family haven't seen each other for two years, I don't know if Changtian has always been good?"
"My father-in-law, the spring and autumn seasons are prosperous, and the tiger is in the south of the Yangtze River, it couldn't be better." Jiang Gan said with a smile.
Then he continued: "Before leaving, my lord also entrusted me to send something to Lord Zhao, and asked the old man to take a look. Jiang Gan took out a very delicate wooden box from his arms, wrapped in brocade, gorgeous and abnormal, the wooden box is authentic and high-quality wood, sandalwood carving, ordinary people can't afford to use it at all, which shows the preciousness of the things stored inside.
The old man opened the wooden box curiously, and suddenly a refreshing smell permeated the entire living room, making people feel fluttering after smelling it, as if they were a few years younger.
This is exactly what Changtian got the Nine Heavens Immortal Spirit Peach in the blessed land of Putuo Mountain, and Zhao Qian once said that he wanted it, something to prolong his life.
"This..." The old man, at this time, suddenly remembered what he had said before, for Zhao Qian, this was just a joke, he didn't expect Changtian to find him at all, the thing to prolong his life was nothing more than to warn Changtian through his own actions that there was no free lunch in this world, but he didn't expect that Changtian really took it seriously.
"Smack!"
The old man hurriedly closed the box, and then pushed it back very reluctantly, saying, "This thing is valuable in Thailand, and the old man doesn't dare to ask for it, and he can't ask for it." ”
Jiang Gan smiled slightly and said, "When I came, the lord said that this thing is extremely ordinary to him, please Lord Zhao, just accept it, don't mind." ”
Zhao Qian didn't believe this, how could this kind of thing be so ordinary, he knew that it was impossible to think about it with his toes.
The old man was really reluctant to do this, so he turned around and said: "Ziyi is here, but he has a business trip with him?" ”
Jiang Gan smiled slightly, and said: "Dissatisfied with my lord, it is for my lord, the matter of paying tribute, the lord asked me to bring a lot of rare tribute, I want to dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, and I want a Wu Jun Taishou, but I have been in Chang'an for five days, but there is no news of Your Majesty, and I must be hindered by someone." Therefore, I came here to ask the boss for help. ”
"At this time, it is wrapped up in the old man."
Zhao Qian agreed in one bite, and now although he and Dong Zhuo don't deal with each other, this matter is nothing.
Jiang Gan stood up and thanked him, but as shrewd as he was, he could naturally find the gloomy color on the old man's face.
"I see an adult, and my complexion is not good, but I have something on my mind, although I am not talented, I may be able to help each other." Jiang Gan's tone was very sincere.
"Anyway, this matter has something to do with Changtian, and it doesn't hurt to say that you have to listen to it." Zhao Qian sighed and expressed his worries.
Only then did Jiang Gan know that the old man's worries were not only about himself, but also about his lord.
