Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Joy of Peace
Since there was no competition, Zhang Hao and the four of them drove lightly and slowly returned to Zhang Fei's manor in Zhuo County, and at this time, three days had passed since winning the Yellow Turban bet.
After ending the running around some time ago, Zhang Hao began to continue to popularize new tactics for Liu Guan and Zhang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he began to let Guan Yu and Liu Bei do header and shooting training respectively, and most importantly, Zhang Hao's daily training that had been interrupted for a long time could finally start again.
In this way, a week passed plainly (of course, there was no concept of the week in ancient times, so it was written here for convenience), and the four of them had just had breakfast that morning, and they heard a report from the next person, saying that it was the visit of Liu Yan, who was too guarded.
The four of them heard that Taishou was coming, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and came to the lobby, only to find a little white face standing proudly, and Liu Yan was standing behind with his hands down.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao and the four couldn't help but look at each other, who is this little white face? It's bigger than Liu Yan's style?
"Who is Zhang Hao?" The little white face asked in a shrill voice.
Hearing the voice of the little white face, the four of them suddenly realized.
It turned out to be a eunuch!
Since he is a eunuch, he must be a palace person in the capital, no wonder Liu Yan has to stand behind.
Thinking so, Zhang Hao had already stepped out and arched his hand and said, "The contemptible person is Zhang Hao." As he spoke, he secretly looked at the species he had never seen before.
The eunuch didn't notice Zhang Hao's scrutiny, took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, and said loudly: "Zhang Hao listens to the order!" ”
Hearing these four words, Liu Guanzhang and the others, including Liu Yan behind the eunuch, all knelt down in unison. When Zhang Hao saw this, he reacted, in ancient times, the holy decree was like a saint, and he would kneel when he saw it, so he hurriedly knelt down.
The eunuch saw that Zhang Hao's reaction was half a beat slower, and he was angry, but the holy decree was not good at this time, so he had to finish the holy decree first.
"There is a decree in the saint: Zhang Hao, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and the four of them performed well in the competition in Daxing County and Guangzong County, and they were rewarded for their merits, and each of them was given a hundred taels of gold. In addition, Zhang Hao has made meritorious contributions, except for the county lieutenant of Anxi, who will take up his post on the same day, and he will do this! ”
After the decree was announced, the eunuch rolled up the decree, and when he saw that Zhang Hao was still kneeling there and there was no reaction, his anger rose again, and he said coldly: "Zhang Hao, take ~ the decree ~ ah~!" ”
Zhang Hao reacted and hurriedly said: "Oh oh, the grass people take the order, thank you Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" As he spoke, he took the decree with both hands and stood up.
Hearing Zhang Hao's call, the eunuch's anger weakened a lot, but he still secretly said in his heart: rude soil buns......
Just thinking so, the eunuch still didn't forget his business, and waved his hand to the back, so the four little eunuchs each held a tray in their hands, and each tray contained ten gold bars, which was presented to Zhang Hao and the four of them. After the four of them took it, the four little eunuchs came out again.
Seeing that the business was over, the eunuch pretended to look around the four walls, and said as if inadvertently: "The Sprinkle family came all the way, and I was a little thirsty, I don't know if there is tea here?" This is the beginning of the tea fee, which is the so-called "benefit".
It's just that Zhang Hao, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't understand the eunuch's words, thinking that the other party was really thirsty. Liu Bei understood, but he was unhappy to see Zhang Hao being named county lieutenant and climbing on his head again, so how could he remind Zhang Hao. On the contrary, it was Liu Yan, seeing that Zhang Hao did not have the slightest meaning of "filial piety", and kept giving Zhang Hao a look behind the eunuch, but Zhang Hao didn't see it at all.
So, when Zhang Fei beckoned his subordinates to really bring a cup of tea, the eunuch was embarrassed, but he had to take a sip of the teacup, and then said again in a cold tone: "Okay, the will has been announced, the water has been drunk, and the Sprinkler family should leave, farewell!" ”
As he spoke, the eunuch went out of the courtyard with his men, and Liu Yan and Zhang Hao also hurried to the door. After these eunuchs in the palace walked away, Liu Yan turned his head and said to Zhang Hao: "Ri Tian, that father-in-law asked you for water to drink just now, you really didn't understand?" ”
"Huh? Don't you just want water to drink...... Wait, what does Taishou mean, should I be honored? ”
"Alas...... Forget it, the people are gone, it's useless to talk about it now, I hope there won't be any trouble. ”
Liu Yan said, also waved his sleeves and left.
"Fourth brother, what do you mean by being too guarded?" Zhang Fei asked on the side.
Before Zhang Hao could speak, Guan Yu spoke first: "Taishou means that the eunuch asked for tea just now, but he was actually asking for benefits." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Fei was taken aback: "Then will this cause trouble for the fourth brother?" ”
Guan Yu didn't speak, just pursed his mouth and shook his head slightly, Liu Bei was silent on the side, not knowing what he was thinking, but Zhang Hao waved his hand and laughed loudly: "What is this, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, and the soldiers will block the water and cover it." Don't think about it, brother, I will go to Anxi County tomorrow to take up my post, how will the three elder brothers arrange? ”
Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Zhang Fei took the lead in replying: "My brother who has not yet become an official, of course I went together!" Fourth brother, what is this county lieutenant doing? ”
Zhang Hao stretched out his hands and said, "I don't know, go take a look." Big brother and second brother, do you two go? ”
Guan Yu stroked his long hair and said lightly: "Naturally, go with you." ”
Liu Bei also nodded slightly.
"In that case, let's rest for a day and leave early tomorrow morning." Zhang Hao said, and took the lead in walking back to the village.
Liu Guan and Zhang followed behind, and Zhang Fei suddenly said: "If I go to Anxi County, will my Zhuangzi be useless?" Or do you want to sell it? ”
When Zhang Hao heard this, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't sell it!" We'll have to come back in a few days. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
Zhang Hao smiled silently.
……
Five days later.
Anxi County Ya.
"He County Order, I'm Zhang Hao, and I'm here to serve as a county lieutenant."
"Well, the imperial court has already issued a book, and you will go to the master book in a while to take your book away. Do you know what the job of a county lieutenant is? ”
"I don't know much, but I also ask the county order for guidance."
"To put it simply, you have a hundred soldiers under your command, mainly responsible for the security of the county and district, and you and other county lieutenants will divide the area, and I will go to the master book to confirm it in a while. Of course, you can just leave these tasks to your subordinates, and the most important thing is that the county lieutenant is a member of the county-level Keju team, and he usually participates in competitions with the team. However, the Yellow Turban has been in turmoil recently, and this year's Keju League has been suspended, so you can say that you don't have any work at the moment, just come over every day and order and participate in training. ”
"Understood, thank you for the county order."
"Well, let's go find the master book."
"Yes, Zhang said goodbye."
……
That same evening.
Inside Zhang Hao's house.
"Fourth brother, you go to training every day, what are we doing?" Zhang Fei complained.
"Shopping, walking birds, wandering around." Zhang Hao joked.
"Fourth brother, are you serious?" Zhang Fei said angrily.
Not only Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's face also showed a gloomy color, although Liu Bei knew that this was an opportunity to separate Zhang Hao and the other two, but in view of the fact that this fourth brother often did things unexpectedly, Liu Bei still had the patience to see what Zhang Hao said.
Zhang Hao saw the faces of the other three, and then said with a straight face: "Three brothers, am I the kind of person who doesn't care about you when I become an official?" Remember the eunuch we offended at the beginning, wait two more days, and it is estimated that I will have to step down, so you can really only wander around in the past two days. ”
……
Three days later.
Anxi County Ya.
"Prefectural order, I'm here." Zhang Hao said hello and was about to sign in the roster.
"That, Zhang Hao, you wait first."
"Huh?" Zhang Hao stopped his pen and looked at the county order.
"The new edict from the imperial court has relieved you of your position as county lieutenant."
"Oh, that's it...... Okay, I see. Zhang Hao said, put down the pen and left the county office.
Well?
The county magistrate was stunned.
So happy to leave, what's the situation?
……
"Let's go, brothers, go back to Zhuo County."
When Zhang Hao returned to the house, Liu Guan and Zhang had just gotten up, after all, they didn't have to get up early to report to the county government.
"Huh? What happened to the fourth brother? Didn't you go to the county office? Zhang Fei rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered.
"As I said two days ago, I'll be stepping down soon. Oh, I'm white again. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Fei was awakened: "Fourth brother, have you really been dismissed?!" ”
"yes, let's pack our things." Zhang Hao said, turning his head and packing up his clothes, while thinking about the content in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In ancient times, there was Zhang Fei whip to supervise the post, and now there is Zhang Haoqi eunuch.
Although the process is different, this Anxi county lieutenant really can't make his own dish.
As for the next stop...... It should be the plain county order, right?
And according to this Anxi prefectural order, the prefectural order can command a Keju team. When I arrived in Pingyuan County, the day of my own take-off really came!
