Chapter 22 Cao Mengde's Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas Liang Zhongshu and Huang Que are behind
On the way, Cao Cao remembered something and asked, "Lu Yuanwai, how much do you know about Yue Fei?" ”
Lu Junyi said truthfully: "Little junior brother? I don't know much, but the old man seems to like him very much. ”
Cao Cao felt that this Zhou Dong, the disciples he taught were heroes and heroes, and he liked Yue Fei very much, so this Yue Fei was naturally not bad.
Cao Cao thought about it, although he heard about many heroes and heroes along the way, but there were not many who could fight for it, Shi Wengong didn't seem to be very good, so he could give it a try.
But the others were either well-known, served in the army, or were in the grass, and Cao Cao thought that it would be difficult for him to convince them to work together in the current situation.
Except for Shi Wengong, who I heard about yesterday, Cao Cao's first choice was Yue Fei, so he asked Lu Junyi about Yue Fei's situation.
When he heard that Lu Junyi knew very little about Yue Fei, Cao Cao was slightly disappointed.
Cao Cao immediately reacted, whether he has real talent or not, let's wait until he sees Yue Fei and investigates it in person.
After a short time, Cao Cao and his entourage came to the Daimyo's mansion.
Wu Song looked at the high-walled compound of the Daimyo Mansion and praised it sincerely: "It is worthy of being a military town, and even the government is much more magnificent than Yanggu County." ”
Lu Junyi explained with a smile: "It can't be compared, the Daimyo's Mansion, as one of the four capitals of our dynasty, is naturally higher than other places in terms of specifications and system. ”
"Yes, Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, Xijing Henan Mansion, Nanjing Yingtian Mansion, and Beijing Daimyo Mansion, no matter which one of them is a well-known existence, they all play a vital role in the Song Dynasty." Cao Cao said as he handed the letter of recommendation written by Chai Jin to the soldier at the door, who passed it to Liang Zhongshu.
However, Cao Cao and his entourage waited for two hours, and did not wait for Liang Zhongshu's meeting.
Wu Song was anxious: "Straight lady thief, let's wait for two hours, what do you mean?" ”
Cao Cao was also a little anxious at this time, so he said to the messenger: "I'm tired of the little brother, just say that the master of Yanggu County has something important to ask for, and he is in a hurry." ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he stuffed a handful of copper coins into the hands of the Tongchuan servant.
The man didn't accept it, but just said with a businesslike appearance: "Lord Liang is busy with official business, please wait patiently, I am inconvenient to disturb." ”
"This?"
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Junyi, he didn't expect this Liang Zhongshu to be so big, and there was a letter of recommendation from Chai Jin that hung them for two hours.
At this moment, a person flashed out of the gate of the mansion: "Who is Wuzhi from Yanggu County?" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly passed: "It's me, it's me." ”
The person who came did not pay attention, but turned around and said, "Come with me." ”
Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Yan Qinggang wanted to enter the mansion together, but they were stopped by the guards: "The lord only said to let Wu Zhi go." ”
Everyone shook their heads helplessly, and had to watch Cao Cao enter the Daimyo's mansion.
When Cao Cao walked away, Wu Song couldn't be angry: "This Liang Zhongshu is such a big shelf!" ”
"Senior brother is cautious, officialdom is not as good as rivers and lakes, there are always some rules, let's wait patiently." Lu Junyi persuaded him.
Although Lu Junyi was also very angry, he couldn't complain like Wu Song, after all, he was asking for something, what else could he do?
Cao Cao followed the guide left and right, and soon came to a door, Cao Cao looked inside through the window with the corner of his eye, and found that it was a study.
The guide asked Cao Cao to wait outside the door, and after asking for instructions, he led Cao Cao into the bookstore.
As soon as he entered the house, Cao Cao bowed and said, "Wu Zhi, the chief bookkeeper of Yanggu County, meets Lord Zhongshu." ”
Liang Shijie sat at the desk, as if he was correcting the papers, and he didn't look up: "How did you and Chai Jin meet?" ”
Cao Cao told Liang Shijie about his acquaintance with Chai Jin in 1510.
After hearing this, Liang Shijie said with a smile: "What's the matter with me?" Go ahead. ”
Cao Cao bowed and said: "My lord, there are bandits all over the world, there is Chao Gai in the south of Yanggu County, and there are Tian Tigers in the west, and He County Ling is worried that he will not be able to guard Yanggu, so he wants to form a Yanggu group to practice ......"
Liang Shijie didn't wait for Cao Cao to finish speaking, and interrupted: "Nonsense! Do you know that according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, training soldiers privately is to punish the nine clans! ”
Cao Cao saw that Liang Shijie was angry, and hurriedly said: "Lord He knows, but for the sake of the people of Yanggu, he can only take risks, so he ordered me to go to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo to pray for the prime minister's permission." ”
Liang Shijie put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile: "It turned out that I wanted to see Prime Minister Cai Cheng, who was busy with state affairs, and was afraid that he would not have time to pay attention to a small Yanggu County." ”
Cao Cao saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Yanggu County has prepared seven thousand copper coins to honor the prime minister, and I only ask the prime minister for a small request from Yanggu County." ”
"Oh? What do you want me to do? Liang Shijie raised his eyebrows, obviously this news surprised him very much, and then Liang Shijie's mind spun rapidly, weighing the pros and cons.
Cao Cao explained his intentions: "The lower officials know that the prime minister is busy with state affairs, and it is easy not to see outsiders, so he prays for the master of Zhongshu to repair a book as a recommendation." ”
Liang Shijie looked at Cao Cao for the first time and said with a smile: "It turned out that you wanted me to write a letter of recommendation, why did I do this?" ”
Cao Cao said loudly: "In the country, what Yanggu County asks for is related to the well-being of the people, and it is also related to the stability of the country; ”
"In the family, the prime minister and the adult are Weng sons-in-law, they are a family, and the congratulatory gift of Yanggu County also has a light on his face;"
"Yu Gong, if you can successfully stop Liangshan and Tianhu thieves, you can protect the peace of one party; Yu private, this is private ......" Cao Cao said this, paused for a moment, and seemed difficult to speak.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Liang Shijie put down the brush and looked at Cao Cao, obviously what Cao Cao said attracted him.
Cao Cao got Liang Shijie's consent, so he opened his mouth and said: "I hope that the Lord will atone for his sins, and he was robbed before the birth of the private day. ”
Liang Shijie stood up, slowly came to Cao Cao's side, and said in a cold tone: "Do you know that with these words you said, I can cure you of a capital crime?" ”
A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Cao Cao's forehead, and he knew that if he said the wrong thing, it might really be a capital crime: "Adults won't, adults work hard for the country and the people, how can they be angry because of a few jokes from the lower officials?" ”
Liang Shijie circled around Cao Cao, looked at him carefully, and suddenly laughed: "In this case, then I will help you once, and I can also help a group of Yanggu people." ”
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, my lord, I thank you for the people of Yanggu." ”
In fact, Liang Shijie was willing to write this letter of recommendation, and Cao Cao's words played a crucial role.
Liang Shijie appreciates Cao Cao's lack of arrogance or rashness, daring to speak and think, and being brave and strategic.
Liang Shijie asked him to wait outside the door for two hours at the beginning, just to see if he was sincere.
Secondly, after the 100,000 Guan Shengchengang was robbed, the people around Liang Shijie were silent, and no one dared to touch this moldy head, Liang Shijie thought that Cao Cao's courage was commendable.
Of course, the most important thing is that because the Birth Gang was robbed by Chao Gai, Cai Jing has a lot of complaints about Liang Shijie.
It just so happened that Cao Cao was going to send 7,000 copper coins to Cai Jing to celebrate his birthday at this time, led by Liang Shijie, this favor would be done by fools, let alone him.
Cao Cao walked out of the Daimyo Mansion with Liang Shijie's letter of recommendation, but what he didn't know was that it didn't take long for someone from the Daimyo Mansion to rush to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo with a letter, and it was Liang Shijie who wrote the letter.
At this time, Liang Shijie looked at the tree outside the window, a praying mantis slowly approached a cicada, and behind the praying mantis, there was a yellow finch.
Seeing this scene, Liang Shijie smiled happily.
