"Brother Zi, how do you feel, it seems to be very hard to look at you. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network"
"Okay, you guy, do you think that everyone is like you, and if you have nothing to do, you will run to me, the little county magistrate, and the general of the Huangfu Left Carriage is so willing to let you out? I've heard that he's now making all-out preparations for war in the northwest, so maybe you'll have a new chance to make meritorious contributions. Your ability is a mirror in your brother's heart, and the future of our Zhang family in Yanxian County still depends on you. ”
In the back hall of the county government of Zhao Guobairen County, the county magistrate Zhang Chao and his brother Zhang He were drinking opposite each other. At this time, there was a light snow falling quietly outside the house, except for the slight crackling sound of the red clay stove, and a few small dishes and wine jugs that almost exuded heat were placed on several tables, all of which seemed so quiet and serene.
"It's not that simple, my brother. You are dedicated to working for the people, so you can't hear or see what is going on outside, so naturally you don't know how chaotic it is outside, and a little carelessness will make your previous efforts go to waste. ”
Zhang He's expression at this time was somewhat depressed, although Huangfu Song had already broken through the county seat of Xiaquyang County with the help of Feng Yi, Guo Dian, Yan Zhong and others, beheaded Zhang Bao, the general of the local government, and obtained the title of Marquis of Huaili, as well as the official position of the general of the left chariot cavalry in Huaili and Meiyang counties, a total of 8,000 households, and became the nominal third position of the Han military.
Of course, Yiqiē looked so beautiful, but what he never expected was that Huangfu Song might have felt that he had made great contributions to quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so when he passed by Yecheng, he saw that Zhao Zhong, the regular servant, had exceeded the residence in Yecheng, that is, the scale and interior decoration of the house exceeded the level that Zhao Zhong should have. At the same time, like Lu Zhi, he also refused the behavior of Zhongchang Shi asking for bribes, and he was not a small leader like Zuo Feng, but a **oss like Zhang Rang. In this way, Huangfu Song has successfully offended the two most trusted eunuchs of the Han Emperor Liu Hong.
That's just it, Huangfu Song seems to be planning to be a good person in troubled times to the end. Seeing that Jizhou, a large state with a large population, was almost empty because of the war, he asked the imperial court to take out a one-year land rent in Jizhou to support the hungry people. This kind of behavior made the people very grateful for his kindness, so they made a ballad of "the world is in chaos, the city is in ruins, the mother does not protect the children, the wife loses her husband, and the emperor restores his peace" to praise him. But Liu Hong was very dissatisfied with this result.
Why? The emperor, who was so easily stingy, was willing to open the treasury to help the people, but as a result, the good reputation was taken away by Huang Fu Song alone, coupled with the wind in the ears of the ten permanent attendants, Huang Fu Song's current status is actually very dangerous. The reason why he is still given such a high position now is just a lack of an opportunity, but there is no excuse for the crime he wants to add, Zhang He sees it very clearly.
And what made Zhang He most unsettling was that he heard a rumor from one of his friends, a rumor that made him feel uneasy. Although his friend did not dare to read the book to determine the truth of the rumors, from all indications, it may not be without reason. Even if the rumors are false, then it is not a good thing for Huangfu Song.
"Why, aren't you optimistic about the career of the emperor's left car general? Jun Yi, not for my brother, you are not the one who reads the most books, but you are the one who likes to use your brain the most, and even the old patriarch said that you will be the standard-bearer who led our Zhang family to regain its reputation in the world. Although everyone was not very convinced at first, but later your expression did let us see your efforts and results. But that's not enough. ”
"Brother has something to say, I, Zhang Junyi, am not the kind of guy with a small belly."
"Although Li Xueli has no background and is not very old, you don't have a master-slave relationship by his side, so it is understandable that you originally planned to leave him. But your fault is that you were the only one who left him in the first place, and if you could have taken a few people who were also depressed with you, you would have lost a lot less reputation in this matter. ”
Leaving Li Shushi slowly began to have an impact on Zhang He. Although the Zhang family is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, it has declined quite a year in Zhang He's generation, although Zhang He has a high reputation among the people, but his reputation in the upper class is not high. In this regard, it is far inferior to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, even Gao Ran is said to be a tributary of the celebrity Chen Liugao's family, and if he wants to recognize his relatives with his ability, the other party must be happy to accept it.
As a result, Yan Liang, who has a deep relationship with Li Shushi, although he has nothing to say about Zhang He's behavior on the surface, is quite disdainful in private, and even Wen Chou, who has a deep relationship with Yan Liang, is also inseparable from him. Although Gao Ran and he are still the same and have made some new partners, in the end, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's influence in Jizhou is really much higher than that of Zhang He.
The most helpless thing for Zhang He is that even Huangfu Song has a certain relationship with Li Shushi, so although Zhang He did not look at him coldly, he did not show such intimacy as he did with Yan Liangwen Chou and others, and it was not difficult for Zhang He to know the relationship as long as he inquired a little carefully, after all, both Tong Yuan and Huangfu Song were legendary figures in the mouths of the people.
"Hey, because it happened suddenly, but I didn't have time to think about it. And Mr. Shushi has been kind to me, and although I have left him because of my ambitions, I can't do that. Besides, now that I think about it, if I really do this, let's not talk about whether I can get out of that courtyard gate, even if Mr. Shushi doesn't care about me, I'm afraid I'm afraid I will really become a betrayer, does my brother think it's worth it for Jun Yi to do this? ”
"Of course, so the appearance of your whole thing proves that you are not without haste and wisdom, but that you have not seen far enough. Think about what kind of character that Tong Yuan is, I have heard his majesty on the battlefield since I was a child, and I am deeply impressed by it. Do you think this kind of old goblin-like character who has just given the Li family business under his control to a child and then let that child jump into the fire pit? Li Shushi's expression is just that Old Man Tong helped him eliminate some restless guys around him. ”
What's the use of talking about that now? Eat at the bar. ”
Zhang He said this, looking a little lonely, thinking that a group of friends from the back of the year had now followed Li Shushi to become famous and had a good background, while his future was gloomy because of some of Huangfu Song's views. Although he didn't think that Huangfu Song's future would be bright, but with the ascension of Yan Liangwen Chou and others, even if there was a new assassin history, his future might not be very good, at least he would still be suppressed by Yan Liangwen Chou, who was above him in terms of both background and ability, and even Gao Ran.
"How could it be useless? If you know that this path can no longer reach the heights you want to achieve, why stick to this path? Maybe it would have been better if it had been taken another way. ”
Zhang Chao slowly tasted the turbid wine in his mouth, as if the wine glass was filled with elixir and jade liquid, looking at Zhang He's slightly puzzled expression on the other side, Zhang Chao was in a very good mood at this time. You must know that although his brother was humble on the outside, but he was quite arrogant on the inside, he showed such a tired expression in front of him at this time, although he was not a jealous person, but he could not prevent a little pride and satisfaction from flashing in his heart, a satisfaction that only belonged to the birds.
"Brother, don't deceive me, what is the way for Jun Yi to do so except to cultivate himself diligently and wait for the time of day."
"Don't you have the courage to go to the Naxi River." Zhang Chao revealed his answer with a smile.
"Xihe, Mr. Shushi, oh no, it should be called Li Taishou."
Zhang He was a little surprised by the answer given by Zhang Chao, and he was stunned for a while, even if the wine syrup had overflowed from the cup. After all, as the saying goes, "A good horse doesn't eat grass." Although Zhang He didn't dare to say that he was a thousand-mile horse, he was so ruthless at the beginning, presumably his former partner would not forgive himself even now.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang He has been avoiding the fact that Li Shushi has become the Taishou of Xihe, because once he admits this matter, it means that the status gap between him Zhang He and Li Shushi will widen widen, and it also proves how bad his vision is and how stupid his behavior is. Although those generals under Li Shushi can't get a higher status at this time, what about the future? In any case, it is much better than himself, a marginal person who is suppressed here.
Not to mention what kind of height the people who have been helped by the baptism of Biansai and Li Shushi's unique fruit will grow in the future, even Zhang He dare not imagine, because he himself has already felt the changes in his past year.
"Yes, exactly. I remember that when I was listening to you with him under Zhu Jun's tent, I used to talk about you, and from his words, I didn't seem to hold a grudge against your departure, but admired your ability very much, and I regretted that I couldn't continue to work with you. ”
"He, really, really said that?"
"Well, so give him a chance, but also give yourself a chance. Bring your subordinates who are willing to follow you and the clansmen who are willing to go out to wander in my Zhang clan in Juxian County, Xihe is a bitter cold and dangerous place and sparsely populated, and there may be insufficient soldiers, so you will definitely accept it if you take people to join him. As for the future, if the other party is still dissatisfied with you, it's a big deal to come back a few years later with a lot of ability, and at that time you can't make a name for yourself. If the other party is really willing to let go of the previous suspicions, then you should follow the other party seriously this time, you can't be too unkind. ”
Hearing Zhang Chao's words, Zhang He was silent, but Zhang Chao could feel a certain momentum gradually emanating from Zhang He's body. Feeling the changes in Zhang He, Zhang Chao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Sure enough, he is worthy of the person that the old patriarch is optimistic about, as long as he has a clear goal in mind, the momentum he exudes is really not comparable to a slightly clever person like himself. Of course, the above words are just thinking about Zhang Chao's own heart.
"Thank you, brother, for the reminder, Jun Yi understands what to do. It's not too early, and if you don't insist on martial arts every day, you'll regress. ”
This brother of his clan turned out to be a little shy, Zhang Chao looked at Zhang He's face that was already slightly excited, and continued to maintain the breezy expression that had been on his face since just now, but there were a lot of bad feelings mixed in that smile.
