Chapter 330: Constantly currying favor with stern warnings
Ding Feng saw that the smile on Mi Yang's face disappeared, and he thought that Mi Yang was angry that Meng Da had asked the Han army to call him the Marquis of Luyang.
What Ding Feng didn't know was that Mi Yang was not angry because of this.
Although what Meng Da did seemed quite high-profile, Mi Yang was not as good as Man Zhong and Xiahou Shang, and felt how wrong Meng Da was.
Man Zhong and Xiahou still felt that it was just enough for others to celebrate the achievement in such a high-profile manner.
But Meng Da's identity is quite sensitive, he has committed sins before.
In addition, Meng Da himself is a demoted general.
With such a sensitive identity, Man Chong and Xiahou Shang felt that Meng Da should not be so high-profile, and should always clamp his tail and be a man.
Just like Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others in Cao Wei.
But Mi Yang didn't think so.
Since Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty, the psychological appeal of the subjects of the Han Dynasty to establish meritorious deeds has been very strong.
Under this psychological appeal for the universal values of the world, Meng Da's high-profile celebration of his great achievements can be understood by the world.
Moreover, Mi Yang, as Meng Da's boss and even as the governor of the Yibei Military Region, felt that Meng Da's approach could also stimulate the meritorious service of other generals under his account.
At least from what Meng Da did, Mi Yang didn't mean to blame him.
After all, Mi Yang does not want to build a political group where everyone is a saint, what he wants to build is a team that can assist him in building his achievements.
What Mi Yang really disliked was that Meng Da had a move to abolish the public for personal reasons.
The map of Nanyang County is hanging high behind Mi Yang, and he has already memorized the topography of Nanyang County.
When Mi Yang heard Ding Feng say that Meng Da passed through the champion Hou Guo, he reacted immediately - Meng Da made a special detour.
The reason for Meng Da's detour Mi Yang is now known, but Meng Da's behavior makes Mi Yang disliked.
At the beginning, Liu Bei's edict to Mi Yang was to escort Xiahou Shang and others to Xinye City as soon as possible.
Because of Liu Bei's eagerness, Mi Yang's tone in the warrant was also quite eager, and he also noted in the warrant that this was what Liu Bei meant.
Meng Da, as Mi Yang's general who stayed in Xicheng, Ding Feng would definitely hand over the warrant to him as soon as he arrived in Xicheng.
Meng Da is not a fool, how could he not see the eagerness of Mi Yang and Liu Bei?
What's more, that warrant is not so much Mi Yang's military order as Liu Bei's edict of the Son of Heaven.
In this case, Meng Da dared to make a special detour for personal reasons?
The most important thing is that the route specially chosen by Meng Da not only delayed time, but also passed through many areas of the newly occupied county seat of the Han Dynasty.
Even not far from the Champion Hou Kingdom, there are several county towns that are loyal to the Great Wei.
If it weren't for this reason, after Ding Feng learned that Zhou Tai was accused of rebellion, how could he be so decisive to take down Zhou Tai?
Compared to the closer route, which was under the absolute control of the Han army, the route chosen by Meng Da was far inferior to it in terms of safety.
You must know that Meng Da escorted a number of high-ranking officials of Cao Wei, and there were not many Han troops escorted.
If Cao Wei Xizuo got the news in advance on the way and set up an ambush to rescue Xiahou Shang and the others, how dangerous would it be?
Cao Wei is lacking a water army, not nothing!
Meng Da is a man who knows military strategy, how could he not know this?
Obviously, in all respects, the other escort route is the best, but Meng Da still chooses to take the risk of coming to Xinye from the current route.
From this point, it is enough to prove that in Meng Da's heart, sometimes satisfying his personal selfishness is more important than the official duties entrusted to him by his superiors.
Because of selfishness and forgetfulness, how can such a subordinate Mi Yang like it?
Meng Da wanted to hug Mi Yang's thighs, but he didn't know at this time, because what he did had already made Mi Yang start to feel dislike about him.
It's just that Meng Da has just made a great contribution, and it would not be appropriate if Mi Yang severely punished Meng Da because of this matter.
After all, Meng Da's previous dedication to Mi Yang was known to the whole world because Cao Ren's death.
But Mi Yang still understands the truth of preventing micro problems.
After Mi Yang put down the rattle in his hand, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Ding Feng.
After he asked Ding Feng to summon Mengda, he quickly sent the letter to Xiangyang.
After Ding Feng stepped forward to take the warrant from Mi Yang, he quickly walked towards the outside of the lobby.
And not long after Ding Feng walked out of the lobby, Meng Da, with a respectful face, hunched over and slowly entered Mi Yang's line of sight.
After seeing Meng Da coming, Mi Yang put away the slight displeasure on his face and returned to his usual gentle complexion.
】
After Meng Da took off his shoes at the door of the lobby, he trotted all the way to Mi Yang's body a few steps away, and then bowed to Mi Yang and said, "Minister Meng Da greets the prince." ”
"The minister was ordered to escort Xiahou Shang and the others, and now he has successfully escorted a rebel out of the hall."
Meng Da's tone was full of his awe for Mi Yang.
And Mi Yang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard that Meng Da actually called him a prince.
Zhou Tai was the first person to call Mi Yang as a prince.
And when Zhou Tai's title of Mi Yang spread, Deng Ai, Ding Feng, Ding Feng and others regarded themselves as generals of Mi Yang's personal ministers, and they all changed their words to call Mi Yang a prince.
They did this, firstly, to respect Mi Yang, and secondly, to further clarify their position under Mi Yang's account.
However, even though more and more people call Mi Yang a prince, this title is still mainly only called by some generals with low status.
Mi Yang didn't expect that with Meng Da's current identity, he would willingly call him a prince.
Meng Da almost didn't write the two words on his face.
It's just that he knows the Mi Yang of Meng Da's thoughts, but he doesn't feel much joy.
In the future, more and more people will desperately cling to him, so what can he be happy about?
Mi Yang just replied in his mouth: "No." ”
"Let's be flat."
The superior promises, which means that he knows.
Hearing Mi Yang flatten himself, Meng Dafang raised his body.
Then he saw at a glance the rattle on the table in front of Mi Yang.
After seeing this object, Meng Da immediately realized that it was a gift prepared by Mi Yang for his son.
After perceiving a point, Meng Da said to Mi Yang like a treasure:
"In the palace of Xicheng, there is a team of advocates who are quite good at music.
If the prince does not dislike it, the minister can dedicate the propaganda team to the prince.
When the eldest son grows up, he can listen to the drums and play at any time for fun. ”
In the Han Dynasty, children's entertainment was still very expensive, and there are no cartoons to watch now.
But that's just for the general population.
If they are children from high-ranking families, when they grow up, they can have a special drum team to play music for them to relieve their worries.
It is not easy for children to have a dedicated preaching team, and if this advocacy team is highly skilled, it is an important characteristic of the child's dignity.
And Meng Da advocated the team's technology, which had been certified by Liu Feng.
Therefore, according to the feelings of the world, the gift that Meng Da gave to Mi Cheng is already quite valuable.
Meng Da knew that whether it was the title he had just called, or his current initiative to advocate for Mi Cheng, he would definitely be criticized by the people of the time for being a flatterer.
But so what?
He is the marquis of Luyang Township, and Mi Yang is the marquis of the champion county.
Luyang Township originally belonged to Champion County, isn't it natural for him to flatter Mi Yang?
Besides, his family knows his own affairs, and Meng Da knows that after Fa Zheng's death, now in the Han Dynasty, he can only rely on Mi Yang.
But in the face of Meng Da's initiative to curry favor, and in the face of Liu Feng's pleading and unavailable advocacy team, Mi Yang had no interest at all.
He said to Meng Da:
"Keep it for yourself."
These four words have already shown Mi Yang's attitude.
After being rejected by Mi Yang, a look of disappointment appeared on Meng Da's face.
However, he quickly gathered his disappointment.
Also, with Mi Yang's current family background, what good things will he lack?
But Meng Da, who had already made up his mind to hold Mi Yang's thighs as his lifelong belief, soon bowed to Mi Yang again.
Obviously, he has something to tell Mi Yang again.
After bowing for a while, Meng Da lowered his tone and said to Mi Yang as if he was informing: "In the past six months, in order to prevent Xiahou Shang and other thieves from causing trouble, he often climbed to the tall building outside the courtyard where they were to investigate them. ”
"Under the minister's repeated investigations, the minister found that Xiahou was still angry and practiced martial arts in the courtyard, and seemed to have the heart of seeking revenge against the prince, and hoped that the prince would take precautions as soon as possible."
When Meng Da told Mi Yang about this, he looked at Mi Yang with expectant eyes, hoping that Mi Yang's face would show a look of appreciation for him.
One of the reasons why Meng Da took the initiative to escort Xiahou Shang and others to Xinye was to tell Mi Yang what he had discovered.
This matter may not be a big deal, but it is not a small matter for Mi Yang.
Maybe Mi Yang will appreciate him more and more for the sake of discovering this?
It's just that the thing that Meng Da was expecting didn't happen.
After listening to Meng Da's report, Mi Yang's face was still calm.
Under the calm face that didn't know the joy and sorrow, Mi Yang bent down slightly to look at Meng Da, and asked him, "Since Zidu has made this discovery, what does Zidu think I should do?" ”
Hearing Mi Yang ask like this, Meng Da suddenly came to his senses.
This kind of thing was what he was best at in the past.
Meng Da took a few steps forward slightly, and said to Mi Yang in a more and more whispered voice: "Since Xiahou still harbors bad intentions, it is better for the prince to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Meng Da also said intimately again: "Don't worry, your subordinates can help you do this." ”
After listening to what Meng Da said, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing.
On the surface, he was happy because of Meng Da's advice, even Meng Da himself thought so.
But as Mi Yang's laughter gradually stopped, Meng Da soon realized that something was wrong.
He found that as the laughter stopped, Mi Yang's face was already a little cold.
As Mi Yang's cold gaze looked towards Meng Da, Meng Da suddenly felt a huge pressure pressing towards him around him.
And after Mi Yang stood up, the pressure on his body increased suddenly.
Mi Yang stood up and walked slowly towards Meng Da's location.
Because of his selfishness, Mi Yang has made Mi Yang dislike Meng Da, but unfortunately Meng Da doesn't know it.
Now he is still encouraging himself to do this kind of thing that will do more harm than good, does Meng Da think that the current Dahan is his Mi Yang's Yiyantang?
Or did he think that he was as short-sighted as Liu Feng?
Mi Yang slowly walked in front of Meng Da, he leaned over slightly to look at Meng Da and asked, "Mencius, is this how you advised Liu Feng not to send troops to rescue the general?" ”
Hearing Mi Yang tell the biggest secret in his heart, Meng Da's face showed a huge look of horror.
He fell to his knees in fright.
How would the prince know? Obviously, he did it well.
Seeing that Meng Da fell to his knees in fright because of his words, Mi Yang's face flashed with a cold color.
It is true that Meng Da took the initiative to open the gate of Shangyong City, which reduced a lot of suspicion for him.
But Mi Yang is a traverser.
When Mi Yang showed a strong look of surprise on Meng Da's face, he continued:
"You deceived the general of the chariot and cavalry, do you think you deceived me?"
"You ignored my warrant and made a detour to Xinye without permission, do you think this is disobeying the military order?"
After Mi Yang said this, Meng Da was so frightened that he kept kowtowing on the ground.
What General Anbei, what Luyang Township, now in front of Mi Yang, is just an old man who feels that his life is under great threat.
Meng Da directly gave up his intention to defend himself, because he knew that Mi Yang, who was the governor of the Northern Governor, had the power to kill him at this time.
Governor: The highest military and political governor of the region.
False Festival: You can kill all the generals who violate the military order in the jurisdiction.
Seeing Meng Da constantly kowtowing on the ground in a panic, Mi Yang half-squatted down, he directly grabbed Meng Da's shoulders and let Meng Da's eyes look at him.
When Meng Da's frightened eyes looked directly at him, Mi Yang said to him:
"If you want to establish meritorious deeds in life, you will inevitably offend many people, and Xiahou Shang is not the only one who hates me in the world?
In the public security war alone, Jiangdong wants to take the head of my head, and I am afraid that there will be no less than tens of thousands, but so what? Do you kill them all? ”
"Instead of worrying about the multitude of people who hate me in the world, it is better to continue to strengthen oneself, so that those who hate me in the world will fear me, respect me, and finally even surrender to me, so that is the right way."
"Therefore, compared to what you said about Xiahou Shang's intention to take revenge, I am more concerned about you, as my subordinate, who dare to forget your public duties for personal reasons."
"Do you think you can do whatever you want?
I can kill Cao Ren, let alone you. ”
Mi Yang has always treated people with a gentle attitude on weekdays, and it is rare that he is so sharp today.
So this kind of Mi Yang made Meng Da even more afraid.
Seeing that Meng Da was so frightened by his words that he kept trembling, Mi Yang finally admonished Meng Da:
"You have a credit to me, you are kind to my mage, and I will be of use to you in the future, so I will not kill you today.
But remember what I have said to you today, and do not have another time, or you will not be spared. ”
After saying this, Mi Yang stood up.
Mi Yang first picked up the half-made rattle on the table, and then when he walked towards the inner hall, Meng Da's ears heard his last words:
"In a few days, when the edict of the Son of Heaven arrives, you will be relieved of your duties as Hanxing."
When Meng Da heard this, Mi Yang's figure had already disappeared into the lobby.
But listening to the last sentence left by Mi Yang, Meng Da's face became extremely gray.
He collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
Mi Yang's last sentence was telling him:
Because of all the glory he has received, he naturally has a way to take it back.
This is Mi Yang's warning to him, and it is also a punishment.
