Looking at Chang'an City in the distance, Deng Yao and Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt really good. In the past two years, the generals always went out in the spring and came back in time for the previous year, just like migratory birds. Today I finally escorted the general home again, and the longer I stayed by the general's side, the more Deng Yao and Zhang felt the weight of their responsibility.

"It's nice to be home!" Zeng Hua raised his horsewhip and sighed, and the Hot Wheels under his seat also seemed to feel this atmosphere, and couldn't help but puff twice, spewing out a few breaths of white gas, and his front hooves couldn't help but shave twice on the ground. The feeling of home is really warm, and even in the snowy winter, you can feel a warm current welling up from the bottom of your heart.

"Congratulations to the triumphant return of the general!" At the east gate of Chang'an, there was a row of officials, wearing robes and furs, who were bowing and shouting. It turned out that it was an official from Chang'an who came out to greet Zeng Hua. Standing at the front are the four giants Wang Meng, Che Yin, Mao Muzhi and Pu, these four people should be at the same level according to their official ranks, but Zeng Hua found at a glance that these four people were not standing in a row, but standing there in a very delicate position.

Although Wang Meng is a Confucian appearance, he is fierce and sharp, completely a faction of Legalist means, in the past few years in power, from Fufeng County to Bingzhou, and then to Yongzhou, there are more than 1,000 corrupt officials in his hands, and there are no people in Beifu who are not afraid of him.

And although the "joining" is not the longest, it is Zeng Hua's most important person, and the power entrusted is also the greatest. On the left shoulder, there is a town in the general mansion of the north general, and on the right shoulder, there is a Yongzhou assassin history, and the military and politics are grasped, and after this period of "running-in", the people in the north have admired his talents. So he was at the front, consciously or unconsciously, but only half a step ahead.

Che Yin, who followed closely, has always been a humble gentleman, pursuing freedom and elegance, so although he has followed Zeng Hua for the longest time, has the most qualifications, and has great achievements, he stands with Mao Muzhi calmly, slightly behind Wang Meng.

Mao Muzhi is the same as Che Yin. It is also a talent of vertical and horizontal. He has made remarkable contributions in Beifu. Moreover, he has been guarding Qinzhou for a long time, and has quite a lot of military achievements, and has a deep prestige in the Beifu army. But Mao Muzhi is a smart person, he knows that his identity is subtle, although he is also deeply trusted and reused by Zeng Hua, but he also knows how to advance and retreat, and he does not dare to show his edge too much. So I stood with Che Yin.

The last one is Pu, he can be said to be the person Zeng Hua knows the most, he once killed people and set fire in Xiqiang together, and they were hungry together in the wind and snow, so they can be regarded as old friends. But Park is the most low-key of the Big Four, which may have something to do with his personality and the fact that he has always been engaged in "intelligence" work.

There were several allusions circulating among the officials of Beifu, which were about Zeng Hua and the four giants.

One day. Zeng Hua was entertaining more than a dozen frustrated "old men" in the mansion. After a few jars of wine, everyone was elated, and their faces were red. When he was shouting and shouting, Wang Meng suddenly came to visit.

Zeng Hua thought that Wang Meng was just an ordinary guest, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite him in. As soon as Wang Meng came in, he first saluted Zeng Hua, and then shouted loudly, and ordered the patrol brought behind him to pull the two officials who were sitting in the middle of the seat and lock them.

It turned out that these two people secretly instructed their families to forcibly exchange land in Fufeng County, encroach on fertile land, and immediately add fists and kicks if they did not comply. Who knew that when Wang Meng was inspecting Fufeng County, someone blocked the road and shouted injustice, and he shook this matter out.

Wang Meng was also a supervisor of the General Department of Prosecution at that time, and when he heard about this, he immediately arrested those family members, interrogated them carefully, and soon exposed these people's backers and backers. Wang Meng was silent, and immediately rushed back to Chang'an, and found that the two had been invited to Zeng's mansion as guests.

Wang Meng was really fierce, and after hearing the news, he immediately rushed to Zeng's mansion with Jing Zhaoyin's patrol, and after seeing Zeng Hua, he began to pull people.

Zeng Hua was also frightened immediately, after listening to Wang Meng's story, although he felt that Wang Meng did the right thing, but he was taken in front of him like this, and he had no face, plus he drank wine at that time, and his face turned black immediately, which scared the patrol who was taking people. But Wang Meng's face darkened even more, and he shouted loudly, and ordered the patrol to take the two people away immediately. Under Wang Meng's command, the patrolmen had no choice but to continue their actions with trepidation, preparing to take the two prisoners away from Zeng's mansion.

Zeng Hua was so angry that he grabbed Wang Meng and ordered the guards to stop him and those patrols. At this time, I only heard Wang Meng arch his hand and say: "My subordinate Gong is a supervisor of the Investigation Department, and he should be a patrol and sentence." Today, there are people complaining about grievances, and Wang should deal with them impartially and complain to the people. If the adult blames his subordinates for being reckless and rude, please ask the adult to issue an official document to exempt me, and I will be ordered to hang the seal immediately after dealing with this matter. ”

After speaking, he shook his hand to break free from Zeng Hua's pull, and walked away in the stunned eyes of everyone and the sergeant who came to the ground guard, leaving Zeng Hua, who was almost about to run away, to go crazy there.

But after Zeng Hua sobered up on the second day, he honestly went to the General Department of Inspection, and solemnly apologized to Wang Meng, who was handling official business there, in front of everyone.

The second thing is Zeng Hua and Che Yin. On Che Yin's birthday last year, Zeng Hua invited celebrities from Beifu by Weishui, paid for dozens of tables of banquets, and then personally used his own carriage to take Che Yin from the mansion to the banquet, and the disciples respectfully invited him to take a seat.

The spring breeze in the banquet was proud

Under the enthusiastic toast of hundreds of people, he not only made poems, but also pointed out the country, talked about the past and the present, and even "profoundly" exposed Zeng Hua's not only ugly handwriting, but also did not understand the words, which frightened the faces of the people next to him. But Che Yin was suddenly fine, spitting and drinking, drinking and talking, and kept drinking and falling down in the middle of the table. But Zeng Hua ignored Che Yin's dirt all over his body, personally carried Che Yin out of the seat, and sent him to the car all the way, carefully escorting him home.

On the second day, Che Yin woke up and turned around and was full of remorse, and hurriedly went to Zeng's mansion to confess. Who knew that Zeng Hua left Chang'an overnight for Qinzhou under the pretext of inspecting military affairs, and came back after more than a month.

Mao Muzhi has guarded Qinzhou for many years and has won popularity in Qinzhou. Later, after Mao Muzhi was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the right Sima of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, the people of Qinzhou thanked him for his kindness and often praised his achievements. And Zhang Shou, who took over the history of Qinzhou, was not as talented as Mao Muzhi, but Xiao Gui Cao followed and continued to implement a series of policies formulated by Mao Muzhi in Qinzhou.

However, Zhang Shou was Zeng Hua's brother, and some people with ulterior motives slandered Mao Muzhi in official documents and deeds, belittling his merits in order to highlight Zhang Shoulai. And Zhang Shou was also a little shaken under the "demagoguery" of the left and right, and was ready to "turn over old accounts" and "chase old debts" to attack Mao Muzhi's "old system" and re-establish "new merits".

Under the encouragement of some people, the trend of "Qinzhou Thorn Shidi Daily" changed drastically, and it began to faintly point to Mao Muzhi to belittle Mao and promote it. After Zeng Hua found out, he sent a letter to scold Zhang Shou, and then wrote articles in the "Yongzhou Assassin Shi Di Bao" and "Wuchang Gongfu Newspaper" to praise Mao Muzhi's merits, and then transferred away those officials to suppress the evil wind in Qinzhou.

||: are all under various pretexts. In the end, Zeng Hua thought of a "poisonous plan", first feasted Pu, and made Liu, Duan Huan and others get Pu drunk. After helping Park back to the house, he specially arranged two beautiful maids, and after a while, he closed the door and let Park Lonely and the two women stay inside.

After dawn, Zeng Hua took Liu, Duan Huan and others at the door to congratulate Park who was the "groom" last night. Pu, who was "caught raped in the room" on the spot, had no choice but to give in and honestly accepted the two beautiful maids as concubines. Zeng Hua made persistent efforts and hired the daughter of a family in Qinzhou as his wife for Park, so that Park finally had a complete home.

Seeing his four confidants, Zeng Hua got off the horse early, hurriedly walked up, and said to Wang, Che, Mao, and the four: "How can it be good to drive the four gentlemen out of the city in such a snowstorm for Zeng Hua alone?" ”

Wang Meng clenched his fists and said loudly: "In order to solve the troubles of China and China, the general ran in the north and south of the desert, without fear of swords, wind and snow. Today, the general has returned triumphantly, and if these people who are sitting in Chang'an are afraid of this bit of wind and snow, I am afraid that they will be scolded by the world. ”

Zeng Hua couldn't say anything more when he heard this, so he had to bow his hand and stop talking.

The people behind the four made Zeng Hua surprised and delighted, and had mixed feelings.

"Master Yu, this time I want to drive you to Chang'an."

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's an honor for a subordinate official to be able to be enshrined as a general!" Yu Gui hurriedly bowed his hand.

This is the old acquaintance Yu Gui, last time he escorted the eldest princess of Guiyang to give marriage, this time it must be another reward, otherwise he would not let this already an important minister of the court go out in person. However, Yu Gui is about to become Zeng Hua's SAINT ANGELO, and every time he comes, there are good things.

"Mr. Lingze, it's really you!" Zeng Hua couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the people behind him, "Mr. Jingluo said that he would invite Mr. to serve as the teacher of Yongzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

An old acquaintance, the former Dongzhong Lang General and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Xun Xian smiled faintly: "Xun is a person who does not want to take responsibility, and he is already overwhelmed in Xuzhou." can have the opportunity to come to any idle position in the North Mansion of Huabao in the world, how could Xun not come quickly? ”

Hearing Xun Xian's words, Zeng Hua couldn't help but smile, shook Xun Xian's hand meaningfully, and continued to walk back without saying anything.

"This is Huan Chong, the youngest brother of Duke Huan, the current general of Beizhong Lang and the history of Sizhou Thorn." Xun Xian turned around and pointed to a handsome man behind him and said.

"It turned out to be Huan's young son, I heard that Huan Gongyan had been to his house and had a young phoenix, and he had admired it for a long time, but he didn't expect to see it today." Zeng Hua enthusiastically took Huan Chong's hand and said.

Huan Chong looks like Huan Wen, but he is not so handsome, he wants to look simple, seeing Zeng Hua say this, he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Xiaguan came to Chang'an on the order of his brother this time, first, to congratulate the general on the victory of Mobei, and was rewarded by the imperial court; The second is to thank the general for his great help in the battle to recover the old capital Luoyang. There is also a purpose for the private intentions of the lower officials, and this Chang'an hopes to get the guidance of the general, if he can get the wishes of the lower officials, he will be used for life. ”

It seems that people can't look good, this Huan Chong looks more honest than Huan Wen, but he is so good at "patting on the back", which really makes him underestimate. Zeng Hua's thoughts quickly turned back, and then he sighed leisurely as if asking: "Duke Huan has finally recovered his old capital." ”
