After consulting Jia Xu's opinion, Wei Xuan basically made a decision in his heart, and in the next few days, He Hao and Cao Cao visited one after another, and even Yuan Shu sent someone to explain what happened outside the rouge shop that day, and offered twenty gold as compensation. These 20 gold are the money that Wei Xuan sent people to fish out of the more than 100 ruffians in Yin's prison in Henan on the second day. Those ruffians were thrown away when Yuan Shu ran out of use, but it turned out that Wei Xuan spent money to ransom them. After these people came out, they knelt in front of Wei Xuan's mansion one by one and asked to do something for Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan selected a few clever ones to stay by his side, and let the people of the White Tiger Hall choose some, and the remaining thieves gave them some money to continue to wander in the Luoyang market.

Then a good news came from Anyi, it was about the Wei family and Dong Zhuo, because the two sides had a good relationship with each other several times before, and now Hedong and Dong Zhuojun live in peace, and the Wei family uses grain and grass to constantly buy Xiliang war horses from Dong Zhuo. And Yang Feng quietly sent him, Li Le, and Hu Cai's wives and children to Anyi, and completely fell to the Wei family. The army of the entire Hedong is stronger than any county or even Henan Yin. I don't think I'm going to find myself anywhere.

In this way, even if there is no Wei Xuan running for Hedong in Luoyang, Hedong should be worry-free for the time being.

Then it was when He Jin exerted his energy, he and Yuan Shao reached a consensus again, and the imperial court worshiped Bao Xin as the cavalry captain, and Wei Xuan went to Yanzhou and Yuzhou to recruit troops and prepare for the thief school captain.

Going out at the same time as Bao Xin was expected by Wei Xuan, but his direct promotion from Yilang to the captain of the thief who was more than 2,000 stones was really beyond Wei Xuan's expectations. Although this miscellaneous thief captain can't be compared with the Eighth School of the West Garden, he is still a captain, and he has made a lot of determination to come to He Jin.

Because he has been promoted to more than 2,000 stones, and he happens to be in Luoyang, Wei Xuan needs to meet the emperor alone, originally Wei Xuan also expected the emperor to be rare and wise, and then Wen based on himself, he can't say that he will be moved and do his best to extend the life of the Han. However, it turns out that Wei Xuan thinks too much!

When Wei Xuan was led by the palace people to the palace where the emperor usually rested, the thirty-six-year-old man still looked tired and couldn't wake up, which looked a little distressing, but Wei Xuan knew that he was overly drunk, so he would not sympathize with him at all.

Although the emperor was in a bad state, his attitude towards Wei Xuan was more enthusiastic than that of rewarding him in the court, and he also asked about Wei Su and the Wei family. Wei Xuan naturally expressed his gratitude again and again.

To Wei Xuan's surprise, the Son of Heaven seems to have finally remembered what Wei Xuan did in Hedong, to be fair, Wei Xuan was not as old as Cao Cao, and completely surpassed in terms of military merits, after all, when he was the post governor, he tried his best to win the hearts of the people with Taiping Dao, and then after the uprising of the Baibo Army, he cut off the route of the development and growth of the thief soldiers for the first time, and finally controlled this rebellion within the range of several counties in the northeast of Hedong.

As for the bandits in Xingyang, needless to say, there are naturally many well-informed people who tell the emperor about the actual situation.

Therefore, the emperor was very generous this time, not only recognized the candidates recommended by He Jin and Yuan Shao, gave the young Wei Xuan a thief captain who was more than 2,000 stones, but also specially rewarded two excellent war horses.

Although the emperor has a lot of good horses, and he himself basically doesn't need them, there are not many people who can get the emperor's reward for war horses. This at least proves that the emperor recognized Wei Xuan's military exploits.

When Wei Xuan came out of the palace, he was also very happy to see the two war horses, because these two batches of war horses could be compared with the snow treading black horse and the fire that Yu Fu Luo gave him. Although Wei Xuan didn't understand Soma, he heard the little eunuchs say that this is a purebred sweat and blood BMW, from Dawan! Although Wei Xuan didn't fully believe it, the emperor's reward did not dare to resign.

Wei Xuanyou has enough snow and black horses, and he has also chosen these two horses, one is given to Uncle Han, and the rest is used to win over the fierce generals who followed him to Yuzhou to recruit troops.

Soon He Jin sent accurate news to Wei Xuanlai, and Zhang Yang and Gao Shun returned to Bingzhou to recruit troops, and only the general's order was carried out quietly. It was Zhang Liao who followed Wei Xuan to Yuzhou! Ding Yuan's subordinates are all easy to use, and Zhang Liao is the best! Wei Xuan was already a little eager to meet Zhang Liao. Wei Xuan also thought about getting along with Zhang Liao in the next few months, and tried to abduct Zhang Liao after He Jin hung up.

Without waiting for the holy decree to come down, Yuan Shao held a banquet for Bao Xin and Wei Xuan in the mansion to practice. The people who came to the banquet were still the so-called celebrities that Wei Xuan had seen in Yuan Shao's mansion before. The others expressed their congratulations on Wei Xuan's joy and envy, and Xu You's eyes were distorted when he looked at Wei Xuan. He had thought that the son of the Taishi family had a bright future, but how long had he been in Luoyang? It is already more than two thousand stones, and it is really possible to release the state and county when he comes back from Yuzhou, this kind of promotion speed is too enviable, jealous and hateful.

But Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others don't see it that way, according to Wei Xuan's life experience, according to his merits, he is a complete match except for being a little younger than Erqianshi!

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also interesting enough, the two prepared several handwritten letters to Wei Xuan, all of which asked Wei Xuan to find a familiar friend after arriving in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao even wrote directly to the clansmen left behind by the Yuan clan in Runan to ask for strong support for Wei Xuan.

With the recommendation letters of the two, Wei Xuan's confidence is a little more sufficient. And Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also very concerned about the recruitment results of Bao Xin and Wei Xuan, and hope that the day they return will be the time to completely change the situation in the court!

Because he was going to recruit soldiers to fight for thieves, Cai Yan naturally couldn't follow, but when the two sisters heard about it, they wanted to go home with Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan deserves to be promised.

As for the five people who came with the Wei family, Wei Xuan let them choose by themselves, Wei Xuan had already greeted Zhong Xuan and Xun You, and asked the two to take care of the people who stayed. In the end, Wei Yun and Wei Biao chose to follow Wei Xuan, which means that the two of them may enter the military in the future, rather than the career that the Wei family is good at.

Just when Wei Xuan was in full swing about to leave Luoyang and rush to Yuzhou, an uninvited guest came, and someone sent a famous post, claiming to be Nanyang Lou Gui, Nanyang has many scholars, Lou Gui should not be famous in Nanyang, and Wei Xuan has no friendship with him, so I think it is very strange for this person to come at this time.

When Lou Gui opened his mouth, Wei Xuan finally remembered some records about him, Lou Gui once had a friendship with Cao Cao, was known for his resourcefulness, helped Cao Cao in his southern expedition and western politics, and made meritorious contributions, but in the end he was also killed by Cao Cao because of his words. This time, I also visited Wei Xuan through Cao Cao's introduction.

However, Lou Gui did not come to visit Wei Xuan to make friends with him, and Lou Gui, who was in his early thirties, did not come to ask Wei Xuan for errands. If you want to do something, it is most suitable to find Cao Cao. Instead, he was invited to join.

Lou Gui sat on the Taishi chair and looked at Wei Xuan eagerly, and introduced Wei Xuan with emotion: "Captain Wei may not know, Gui is here to be a lobbyist today, the name of our association is called the Emperor Association, and the captain may think that it is a gathering place for royal relatives or princes and princesses. In fact, otherwise, our emperor will be the organization that decides the succession of the throne or the change of dynasty.

Because this will only attract celebrities and core children of the family at that time, and even the head of the family. The dominant Shilin public opinion and the country's economic lifeline, so it can determine the inheritance of the throne and the change of dynasty.

The purpose of the Imperial Council is to maximize the interests of those who join the association by manipulating the court and even the change of dynasties.

To put it simply, those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me perish. After joining the association, the dynasty can be changed, but the interests of the members will be protected to the greatest extent. Even for the benefit of the members, they can secretly manipulate Dai to take the lead in overthrowing the dynasty!

Since the pre-Qin period, the Emperor Guild was born, and the most famous members of the Imperial Guild are said to include Li Si, Zhao Gao, Zhang Liang, and even Xiang Yu and Wang Mang! More than a dozen of the 28 generals of Emperor Guangwu's Zhongxing Yuntai joined the Imperial Society. ”

Wei Xuan opened his mouth wide and looked at Lou Gui, if the emperor would really be as Lou Gui said, it would be a little terrifying, similar to the ruling party in later generations, even more powerful than ordinary political parties, equivalent to organizations such as elite hui and Freemasonry, looking at the sworn appearance that Lou Gui said, Wei Xuan felt that the credibility was quite high.

Wei Xuan also admired Lou Gui's courage, he was so straightforward, and the sensitive words he said abounded! The people who want to come to this emperor meeting are also fearless.

Wei Xuan was born in the Wei family in Hedong, and the White Tiger Hall in charge of the family is currently the highest-ranking official in the family except for Wei Su, and he has a name, so he thinks it meets the requirements of the Emperor Guild, so this Lou Gui came to the door.

From this point of view, this is also the best evidence of Wei Xuan's personal strength.

After thinking about it, Wei Xuan asked: "Lou Jun, I don't know which well-known families or celebrities in the Han Dynasty have joined your Emperor Society, what are the benefits of joining the Emperor Society, and what responsibilities do I need to bear?" ”

Lou Gui saw Wei Xuan's heart moved, and said enthusiastically: "In terms of family, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are currently located. A large number of wealthy families joined Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places, and most of the scholars and leaders in the court also joined the Imperial Society. Since the captain went to Yuzhou to recruit troops, if he can get the support of the Emperor Association, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Wei Xuan listened carefully to Lou Gui's counting, and found that there was no merger and Liangzhou, and there was no division, you must know that the Hongnong Yang family is also the existence of the fourth and third dukes, and Hedong is monopolized by the Wei family and the Pei family. In this way, the representativeness of the Imperial Council is still limited, and he was unwilling to ask: "For example, the prince of Guanglu Temple, Kong Wenju, Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, Huang Yuzhou, and Wang Jingzhou in the court have all joined the Imperial Society?" ”

Lou Gui smiled and did not answer the question directly: "These people are indeed the elite of society, but the Emperor Guild must keep the members secret, unless the members explain themselves to each other, Gui can only tell the captain that many of them have already joined." And the emperor will make big moves in the next year or two. The lieutenant should join the association, whether for the sake of himself or for the sake of the family. The members of the Imperial Council are all elites, and many of them are powerful people in the current dynasty, needless to say, the benefits are needless to say, when it comes to responsibility, it is actually to safeguard the common interests of all members, and each member needs to work hard to maintain the overall goals and phased goals of the Imperial Council on weekdays. Speaking of restrictions, it can't go against the goal of the Emperor Guild, but it's actually relatively loose in normal times. ”
