"Late life, Zhang Yi (Sima Wei), meet Zhao Changshi."
Although Zhang Yi was extremely reluctant to kneel, he also had to kneel.
"Excuse me," Zhao Zhong waved his hand to signal Zhang Yi and Sima Wei to get up, and then sat down on the main seat with a big grin, and asked, "Which of you two is the protΓ©gΓ© of Master Zhou?" β
After Zhao Zhong's eunuch's characteristic sharp voice reached Zhang Yi's ears, Zhang Yi's goosebumps rose with irritation.
Lowering his head and taking a step forward, Zhang Yi arched his hand and said, "The late birth is Lord Zhou Xian's protΓ©gΓ©, Zhang Yi." β
Zhang Yi tried his best to be neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke to Zhao Zhong, but after all, it was the first time he had come into contact with this kind of powerful minister, and it was also about his future in the game, Zhang Yi would inevitably be nervous.
"Zhang Yi? Good name, it will be clear when you hear it," Zhao Zhong smiled, and then continued: "Raise your head and let the miscellaneous family take a look." β
Hearing that Zhao Zhong let him raise his head, Zhang Yi beat a drum in his heart, and said in his heart: Zhao Zhong don't look down on himself, let himself enter the palace.
Although he was beating a drum in his heart, Zhang Yi still raised his head slowly, and after raising his head and glancing at Zhao Zhong, Zhang Yi hurriedly lowered his head again.
"Well, it looks like a talent, okay, don't stand, sit down."
Hearing that Zhao Zhong asked him to sit down, Zhang Yi took two steps back, and then sat on the chair, but it was only his butt touching the edge of the chair.
Taking a sip of tea, Zhao Zhong asked softly, "What kind of official do you want to ask for when you come to Luoyang?" β
Seeing that Zhao Zhong talked about being an official straight to the point, Zhang Yi hurriedly got up, took the gold from Sima Wei, and then handed it over respectfully.
After handing over the gold, Zhang Yi spoke: "Back to the middle of the permanent servant, the late life is actually the descendant of Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang, my father used to be the Taishou of Lujiang County, the late life is not talented, and I also want to find a position of the Taishou, that is three thousand taels of gold, ask for the reward of the Zhongchang servant." β
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the officials of all sizes were clearly marked, it was not just a random person who could buy an official, if you want to buy an official, you must first have an innocent background, and if you are a famous family, otherwise those landlords, gentry or robbers and bandits, can't they all collect money and become officials?
"Yo, it turned out that after Wen Chenghou, I'll just say, Boss Zhou Xian doesn't accept it from everyone," while saying, Zhao Zhong glanced at the gold placed on the table, and then asked in a weird manner: "Taishou is a position, the emperor ordered 1,800 taels of gold, and you have 1,200 taels more, what do you mean?" If you have something to say, just say it, but don't go around the bush with miscellaneous people. β
Zhao Zhong's last sentence was clear, so that Zhang Yi could say it clearly if he had something to say, and there was no need to beat around the bush with him.
Zhang Yi understood what Zhao Zhong meant as soon as he heard it, so Zhang Yi hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "I can't hide it, I want to be the Taishou of Hedong County in my later life." β
"Hedong County, that's a good place," the corners of his mouth rose slightly, Zhao Zhong patted the gold on the table and said: "It stands to reason that you are the protΓ©gΓ© of Master Zhou and the descendant of Wen Chenghou, the miscellaneous family should not accept your gold, but you name to be the Taishou of Hedong County, and the miscellaneous family really wants to dredge and dredge for you, but you can rest assured, the 1800 miscellaneous family will honor the emperor for you as it is, and the remaining 1200 miscellaneous families will not be left, who should be given to whom, and the miscellaneous family will promise you, will not let you spend the 1200 taels in vain, go back and get you a knighthood, and ask for a fief, so that your 1200 taels are worth it. β
Listening to Zhao Zhong's words, Zhang Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed down, and said loudly in his mouth: "Thank you Zhao Chang for your kindness!" β
"Okay, let's be here today, the miscellaneous family is also lacking, and I have to be on duty at night," after straightening his hair bun, Zhao Zhong waved his hand and said: "What about the two of you, stay in the miscellaneous family mansion tonight to rest, and tomorrow night at the latest, the emperor's decree will come down." β
Saying that, Zhao Zhong also specially instructed the housekeeper in the house, so that the housekeeper could wait for Zhang Yi.
After bowing down to see Zhao Zhong away, Zhang Yi and Sima Wei followed the housekeeper to the guest room in the side room, and after settling down, Zhang Yi hurriedly asked Sima Wei to inform the two guards waiting outside the mansion gate, and asked them to go back and tell Huang Zhong that they would not go back tonight.
After Sima Wei went out, Zhang Yi immediately lay on the bed and let out a sigh, at this time he felt that the clothes on his back were already soaked.
"Huh~" let out a sigh again, Zhang Yi sighed in a low voice: "It's really not easy to deal with such a traitor, I hope everything goes well." β
After speaking, Zhang Yi was also quickly tired, and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes while lying on the bed.
slept until the night, and when Zhang Yi woke up, he found that Sima Wei had already slept.
Looking at Sima Wei, who was sleeping in clothes on another bed, Zhang Yi chuckled and said, "The ancients went to bed really early, and they only slept at 10 o'clock." β
After stretching his waist, Zhang Yi stood up, walked lightly to the table, slept all afternoon, Zhang Yi, who had not eaten dinner, was already hungry, and he didn't care about the image or anything when he grabbed the food on the table, so he shook off his cheeks and began to eat.
The food on the table was all sent by the little servant of the Zhao Mansion, four cold and four hot, there were chickens, fish and a pot of wine, Zhang Yi was not interested in wine, but he hadn't eaten chicken and fish for a few days, so he ripped off two chicken legs and gnawed them as soon as he came up, although he had been careful not to make a sound before, but in the end the noise caused by his meal still woke Sima Wei up.
"Lord, you're awake."
After Sima Wei got up from the bed, he also moved his muscles and bones, and then saluted Zhang Yi, and when he saw Zhang Yi grabbing a whole chicken regardless of Sven, he couldn't help frowning.
"Hmm," After swallowing the chicken in his mouth with great difficulty, Zhang Yi greeted Sima Wei with his greasy hand: "Sir...... Uh~"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yi hiccuped first, and the image he showed was even worse for a while.
"Lord," Chong Zhang Yi arched his hand, Sima Wei said in a slightly serious tone: "Lord, you will also be the Taishou of a county in the future, you have to take care of your image!" β
Listening to Sima Wei's words, Zhang Yi's old face turned red, he knew that he was indeed embarrassed just now, but as soon as his mind turned, he immediately thought of dealing with Sima Wei's words.
"I don't know, sir!" Feeling a little choked and panicked, Zhang Yi took a sip of wine before he continued: "I have my own unique understanding of marching and fighting, and I think the most important thing to march and fight is the three fasts!" β
"Three fast?" After being stunned for a moment, Sima Wei asked rhetorically: "Which three fast is the lord talking about?" β
"Eat fast, sleep fast, pull fast," wiped his mouth, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Although what I said is indecent, it does make sense, do you want the two armies to face each other, it's time to eat, everyone runs back to chew and eat slowly, you haven't finished eating when the enemy fights, let alone fighting, your life is gone!" As for sleeping fast, it's the same, as a soldier, the sleeping time is very small, if you don't hurry up every minute and every second to fall asleep as soon as possible, how can you have the spirit to fight? Practicing martial arts is only fast and not broken, if you punch so fast that the opponent can't see it, the opponent can only be beaten, and it's the same when it comes to marching and fighting. β
After saying a bunch of crooked reasoning, Zhang Yi saw that Sima Wei actually showed a thinking expression, and knew that he was surrounded by himself, and couldn't help but praise himself as a genius.
can wrap Sima Wei around, what is it if he is not a genius? It's just that Zhang Yi is a genius, and all the theories used around Meng Sima Wei are other people's theories, and none of them are his own.
"Only fast is not broken, and the soldiers are fast? Well, it does make a lot of sense," After thinking about it carefully, Sima Wei agreed with Zhang Yi's stolen point of view, but he immediately asked: "But what does this have to do with what the lord said?" β
Pointing to the stool and letting Sima Wei sit down first, Zhang Yi said while pouring wine for Sima Wei: "Think about it, an army travels 100 miles a day, and an army travels 80 miles a day, but the army that travels 100 miles a day is still full of energy after arriving at the battlefield, on the other hand, the army that travels 80 miles a day looks like they haven't eaten enough and haven't woken up after they arrive at the battlefield, who do you say will win?" And why can an army that travels 100 miles a day be full of energy? It's because of the three fast. β
Listening to Zhang Yi's words, Sima Wei nodded as if he didn't understand, he felt that what Zhang Yi said seemed to be very reasonable.
