Chapter 8 Kyoto Daisho
Cheng Feng arranged good things, all the way to the west, non-stop to Luoyang, while in a hurry, Cheng Feng was not calm in his heart, although he used a trick to get rid of a few adults, but the discerning people knew at a glance that this was their own doing, but I don't know if these people are related to the ten permanent servants and others, and this time to Luoyang, I don't know what will happen, but I have to figure out that I just gave a little treasure, why can I get such a high official position, even if Zhang Rang and His Majesty like it, You shouldn't let yourself ascend to the sky in one step, if you don't figure this thing out, Cheng Feng always feels that there is a big stone pressing in his heart! Cheng Feng went all the way, didn't care about the customs along the way, just kept sending people out to various places, telling them to get the map of each place, this way down, more than 30 people went out before and after, and finally, Cheng Feng took five people to Luoyang.
"You guys take a break, take care of the Red Flame, and then go for a walk around the city, remembering that you must go back to the inn before curfew." Cheng Feng commanded
"Yes, sir!"
After Cheng Feng explained, he went straight to Zhang Rang's house, and after some checking, he went into the house smoothly, "Cheng Feng greeted Lord Zhang," Cheng Feng hurriedly saluted
"It's a seal! Why did you come to the capital again so soon? Didn't you go to Changshan to take up the post too much? Zhang Rang asked with a smile
"Back to my lord, Feng is indeed the last Changshan Taishou, but there are some things that need to be reported to the adult"
"Well, okay, get up, just talk slowly, don't rush"
"Yes, this is a gift list for your lord and Your Majesty" Cheng Feng said as he handed over a gift list, Zhang Rang looked at it and smiled happily, "You, you have a heart." I'll pass it on to Your Majesty for you!" β
"Thank you, my lord" turned out to be sent in duplicate, this Zhang Rang and His Majesty are the same, obviously make Zhang Rang very useful, for this time, Cheng Feng is a bloody capital, sent a thousand black pearls, jade bi thirty pairs, the most important thing is that there are a few black ginseng in it, you must know that in the years of Chengfeng life, black ginseng is a thousand price things, precious and abnormal, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy, especially this kind of wild, it is not easy to find, this time, Chengfeng robbed seven plants at once, Really made a fortune!
"Hehe, you must have something else to do, right?" Zhang Rangpi said with a smile, after all, Chengfeng would not really give it in person for such a gift, besides, this gift is precious black ginseng, and other ordinary people see it rarely, but the royal family is not scarce. Therefore, Zhang Rangzhi stared at Cheng Feng, wanting to see if he had anything else to say
"Master Zhang is wise" Cheng Feng hurriedly patted his ass, "This time the seal is specially pleading?" β
"Oh? What a sin? Cheng Feng's words aroused Zhang Rang's interest
"Don't hide it, a few days ago, the bandits were rampant, they actually broke into Changshan County at night, and the city was not well guarded, and the thieves broke into the city at night and robbed and killed, causing the three adults in the city to die at the hands of the thieves!" Cheng Feng quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty
"Hehe, what should I do!" Zhang Rang said with a smile, "There are so many officials in the world, it doesn't matter how many they die, it doesn't affect the overall situation, and you don't take it too seriously, as for the thieves, you can just lead the troops to strangle them, and they don't have much ability." β
"The lower officials are here for the thief!" Cheng Feng said solemnly, "This thief is different from others, he is a Taiping Sect, and the three officials in the city colluded with them to benefit each other and act as a traitor!" This time, Feng took this batch of ginseng from them, causing them to divide the spoils unevenly, so they killed each other! Therefore, Feng deliberately inquired about the daily life of the Taiping Sect and found that they were constantly accumulating food and training troops, and I was afraid that they would rebel in the future! β
"What? There is such a thing! Zhang Rang was taken aback, and then let out a long laugh "Haha!" Now His Majesty has just formed the West Captain, even if he rebelled against the Taiping Sect, it is not that as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be captured! β
"Yes! Your Excellency is right! Cheng Feng echoed and said, sighing in his heart, "Alas! I really want to shoot you to death with the sole of my shoe! β
"But you still have to take precautions, this West Captain is not my person after all, so let's do it, Chengfeng, you have to train thousands of elite soldiers after you go back, once something happens, you must make more military merits, so that I can speak for you in front of Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, sir," Cheng Feng hurriedly rejoiced
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, do you know why I put you in Changshan this time?" Zhang Rang asked
"This? I don't know" This is what Cheng Feng said in his heart, and he really doesn't know why
"To tell you the truth, this horn is also in contact with the court, and there is no sign of rebellion yet, but this person's heart is already obvious, although His Majesty does not ask about state affairs, but his strategy is also very powerful, the formation of the West Garden is to prevent changes in the future, put you in Changshan, and it is also a step back, so you just let go of your hands and do things, remember that you have Your Majesty behind you!" Zhang Rang said solemnly
"Yes, the ministers are smeared with their livers and brains to repay Your Majesty," Cheng Feng replied loudly
"Well, remember, the imperial court will not give you soldiers grain and grass on the surface, so as not to attract the attention of the Taiping Sect, after all, they are now too big to lose, and if they rebel now, the new soldiers of the imperial court will not be able to win. You have to accumulate grain and grass by yourself, and as for how to do it, that's your business! Zhang Rang smiled again
"Seal understood!" Cheng Feng said, and at the same time scolded in his heart, "Uncle, this is treating me as a knife, or a free knife, when nothing happens, it is the knife in your hand, and if something happens, it will be your scapegoat." Hmph, look how I play you guys! β
"I will dedicate these things to Your Majesty for you. I won't leave you in the palace, the dead officials, you can just look at it yourself, you are more important there, there are many things, it is better to go back as soon as possible" Zhang Rang issued an eviction order
"Thank you, sir" was sealed and retired
Walking on the streets of Luoyang, Cheng Feng muttered in his heart, "What, if it weren't for the purpose of borrowing you, Lao Tzu would have cut you down a long time ago, and when I have all the soldiers and horses, I will get rid of your group of eunuchs first!" With a grunt, he interrupted Cheng Feng's train of thought, "Sister, I didn't even mix up a meal, forget it, let's find a place to eat!" Cheng Feng muttered again, after all, it is the capital, even if the world is chaotic, the capital is still stable, not far away, Cheng Feng saw a relatively large restaurant, "Drunken Immortal Building, hehe, just it!" It's been more than half a year, and the ancients are still not used to eating food! β
"What are you going to eat, my lord?" As soon as Cheng Feng sat down, a guy from the store came over to greet him, "Just make a few specialty dishes, I'm in a hurry!" Cheng Feng said with a smile
"Okay, wait a minute," the shopkeeper replied
Cheng Feng looked at the store, there were not many people, three or three by two, that is, four tables, not a dismal operation, but also without worrying about food and clothing, "Alas, the capital is still like this, what can the world do." In a few yearsγγγγγγ It's a pity that all living beings are here! Cheng Feng sighed in his heart
"Haha, the original, how did you get beaten like this!" There was a burst of laughter, causing everyone to look up, only to see a young man at the door laughing and saying to another young man wearing a hat who was walking towards the store
"Humph! If it weren't for you, would I be able to do this? The other teenager said angrily
"Haha, Brother Ben, didn't I specially invite you to drink and make amends to you," the other man haha
Hearing this, Cheng Feng was stunned, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, Cao Cao Cao, these two are really small, hehe, it is really interesting to be able to meet these two overlords here, but I don't know if these two people will play every day if they know the results in the future!
"Hmph, then you have to get some good wine, I'll have to drink you to death!" I only heard Yuan Shao say angrily
"Good, good! Today, you just eat and drink, and I Cao Cao will settle the bill," Cao Cao laughed
"Lord Cao, Lord Yuan is good" The shopkeeper hurriedly went to say hello,
"Give, take" Cao Cao smiled and threw a piece of broken silver to Xiao Er, "Go and get some wine for Lord Yuan!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked around, picked a table and sat down, just next to Chengfeng, Chengfeng couldn't help but look up, this Cao Cao is about seven feet long, thin eyes and long hair, and his complexion is a little white, at first glance, it gives people a shrewd and capable but uninhibited impression, and then look at Yuan Shao, the height is about the same, and it must be about one meter seventy-five, the face is like a crown of jade, the dragon's eyebrows are detailed, the nose is relatively firm, and there is a heroic spirit that is not angry and arrogant. To put it bluntly, a prodigal is a prodigal and a good-looking person! These two people are not white now, Cao Cao is a speaker at this time, Yuan Shao is a captain, and they are all the eldest young masters in Luoyang City! This Cao Cao was originally from Peiguojiao County, his surname was Xiahou, because his father was the adopted son of Cao Teng, who was often servant, and should have been surnamed Cao from his father's generation, this Yuan Shao is the grandson of Situ Yuan An, one of the three princes today, Cheng Feng hurriedly searched for information in his mind, but at this time Cao Cao had already made a name for himself, when he was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, he set up a five-color stick, no matter who committed it, it was a real fight, iron-faced and selfless, people-oriented! Even the uncle of the emperor's favorite eunuch Jian Shuo was beaten to death with a five-colored stick, although he lost his official position, but his prestige spread to the capital! Even the prophet Nanyang Xu Shao at that time said that he was "a capable minister who rules the world, and a traitor in troubled times!" "Not to mention Yuan Shao, the real rich and handsome, the descendants of the fourth and third dukes, at this time, more than half of the officials in the Han Dynasty are students of the old Yuan family, disciples, and they are at the level of the master wherever they go, the only deficiency is that Yuan Shao is the eldest son but not the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is the Yuan Shu who will be the emperor in the future, which may be the only weakness of Yuan Shao's background
"Haha, Brother Benchu, this time it's my brother, I'm not right, if you show your identity earlier, no one will dare to beat you," a burst of laughter interrupted Cheng Feng's train of thought
"You still say!" I saw Yuan Shao's face flushed, and I didn't know that I thought I had met Guan Yu, thinking of this, Cheng Feng was stunned, "Oh, it's time to go to Zhuo County!" β
"Hehe, the two adults are polite, and they are too guarded in Xia Changshan!" Cheng Feng found an opportunity and saluted the two
"Oh, you're polite!" The two hurriedly replied
"I don't know why Lord Cheng is here in Luoyang instead of Changshan?" Cao Cao asked
"Don't hide it from the two of you, Feng is here to ask for guilt this time," Cheng Feng deliberately hung his appetite
"Oh? What's going on? Yuan Shao was relatively straight, and opened his mouth to ask
"Come on, come on, sit down and say, Xiao Er hurry up and bring the wine and food!" Cao Cao said
"Okay, adults, you use it slowly. If there's anything, just call me! β
"Go ahead," Cao Cao waved his hand
"Alas, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two adults" Cheng Feng said the words of fooling Zhang Rang to the two of them, just looking at the reactions of the two, I saw Yuan Shao said angrily, "It's just too rampant, you dare to kill the court officials, this Taiping thief is too presumptuous!" After saying that, Yuan Shao was scolding, Cheng Feng was a little hot-skinned when he said this, and then looked at Cao Cao's expression that seemed to be smiling, Cheng Feng was even more unable to sit still, "Haha." All right. Brother Benchu, if you scold again, you won't be able to drink! Saying that, Cao Cao hurriedly poured wine for Yuan Shao, and kept snoring.
Cheng Feng glanced at Cao Cao gratefully, and also complained, "Isn't it, this Taiping Sect is too rampant, it is simply evil" At the same time, he lowered his voice and spoke, "I found out that they have been recruiting troops and accumulating grain and grass recently, I'm afraid they will rebel?" β
After saying this, Cheng Feng found that Cao Cao and the others were indifferent, and couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you two believe me?" β
"Hehe, Lord Cheng, this matter is now obvious, who in the court doesn't know? I don't know? Cao Cao said with a smile
"What do you mean by that!?" Chengfeng is a little confused, if you want to talk about historical knowledge, this is no one can compare with Chengfeng, but if you talk about the art of war, people's hearts, experience, Chengfeng and these people, it is a scum!
"After all, this world belongs to the imperial court, how can the wind and grass in the world be hidden from the imperial court. The movement of the Taiping Sect has long been under the sun. Yuan Shao also smiled
"Then, why didn't this imperial court take precautions and clear up the chaos early?"
"Clear? Hehe," Yuan Shao sneered, "This Taiping Sect matter is just a pawn in the struggle between the factions of the imperial court, maybe there are really big figures involved!" β
"Hehe, Brother Benchu drank too much" Cao Cao hurriedly changed the topic, Yuan Shao was also shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly played haha
At this time, Cheng Feng realized his political ignorance, and it seems that this is really a big dye vat. I can't help but be careful with these two people, it seems that none of these famous overlords are easy masters. When I came here, I really can't rely on that bit of historical knowledge to deal with this troubled world, and besides, I don't know if that knowledge is true or false!
"Hehe, yes, yes, I only drink today, don't talk about political affairs" Cheng Feng also hurriedly haha, speaking of this, he suddenly felt a little scared, after all, the two people facing him are also human spirits, "I don't know what Lord Yuan is?" Cheng Feng asked, while gesturing with his hand to the injury on Yuan Shao's face.
"Hmph" Obviously, as soon as he said this, Yuan Shao became angry, and pointed at Cao Cao and said, "I don't blame him yet!"
"Haha" Cao Cao laughed for a while, and then explained, "A few days ago, there was a marryman in the south of the city, and we and Zhang Miao went to the banquet together, and we drank a little too much. We just wanted to play a game, so we discussed going and stealing the bride out. β
"This, you city people really know how to play!" Cheng Feng was speechless
"When I finished drinking wine at night and was about to cave the room, Zhang Miao went to shout that there was a thief, and everyone went to catch the thief, and we took the opportunity to steal the bride, alas, it's a pity, I was too stupid at the beginning, and I ran into the bushes with the bride on my back!" Cao Cao laughed
"And this?" Cheng Feng asked embarrassedly, "Lord Yuan was arrested?" β
"Speaking of which, I was angry," Yuan Shao said, "It was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly, I accidentally got into the bushes, so I called Ah Pu to help and pulled me out, who knew that he actually shouted, the thief is here." I'm so anxious that I jumped out at once! β
"That's right, aren't you coming out," Cao Cao said with a smile
"It's coming out, you shouted, people are coming, and I can't see who I am, just come up and fight, this hit me and have nowhere to run." Yuan Shao aired
"Won't I save you again," Cao Cao said with a smothered smile
"Hmph, you saw that you had nowhere to run, and you came back with the bride on your back, saying that the thief ran away, and you snatched the bride back" Yuan Shao complained quietly
"Then didn't I say, let's save it together, they hit the wrong person, and in the end, didn't they apologize to you, you see I still invited you to drink" Cao Cao said with a smile
"Hmph, treacherous but you Cao Agui, good people and good things are all yours, I will be beaten in vain!" Yuan Shao said depressedly
This gave Cheng Feng a stunned look, these two goods are too good to do it, this is okay, is this the overlord of the Three Kingdoms? Isn't this just a tease for the two, if you can see the picture, Chengfeng is definitely a black line. "Gee, isn't this for fun!" Cao Cao hurriedly said
"I said Lord Yuan, don't be depressed, didn't Lord Cao invite you to drink, drink more, drink him and ruin his family!" Cheng Feng also quipped
"He's very slammering, if I really drink too much and sleep here, he can put the account on my head." Yuan Shao's words made Cheng Feng speechless for a while, this Emperor Wei Wu is really a talent! But Cheng Feng understands in his heart, none of these two people are easy to fool, this short meal, you can see that your political resources are insufficient, and your political IQ is also insufficient, it seems that you still have to find talents.
After the three of them finished drinking, they really drunk Yuan Shao, Cao Cao smiled, and said with a big tongue, "I'll invite you this time, and the account will be returned to the beginning!" β
"Ai! Count mine, count mine! Cheng Feng hurriedly said, "You guys, just go back and have a good rest, and go to my Changshan to drink again another day!" "Chengfeng people in the modern past, this wine in ancient times is really not enough to drink, and the amount of alcohol itself is large, and there is nothing to drink with them, Chengfeng hurriedly thought of sending these two drunkards back, and went to have fun again!
"Okay, count it on you, I'll invite you another day!" Cao Cao said with his tongue open, and then walked out with Yuan Shao, Cheng Feng looked at these two people with a smile and pretended to be the same as the real thing, and he didn't say anything. It feels really interesting, this person, ancient and modern, it's fun!
"Brother Benchu, how do you feel about this seal?" Yuan Shao's mansion, Cao Cao asked
"Well, treacherous like you, Cao Agui, but a person who serves the country and the people, has a vision, that is, Bai Ding was born, it is too difficult to rise in this officialdom, it depends on the opportunity in the future!" Where is Yuan Shao still a little drunk at this time!
"Hmmm! If this person can rise, he will definitely be a big enemy in the future, but he will be too close to everything, and he will inevitably be powerless! Cao Cao sighed
"That's no way, without the support of the family, the wind and rain in this Luoyang City are coming, and no backer dares to climb it, which is much more difficult than us."
"Yes! Speaking of which, I have to thank him, otherwise we wouldn't be the captain of the West Garden. Cao Cao sighed, and at the same time both of them muttered in their hearts, "It seems that you have to cultivate your own power!" β
Separated from Cao Yuan, Cheng Feng went all the way non-stop, went straight to Changshan, while hurrying, while thinking about the things he came to this era, it was a summary for himself, Cheng Feng found that he relied too much on the memory of his previous life, but his understanding of this era was through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and various wild histories, hundred pulpits, etc., all of which were fragments. You can only have a direction in the general trend, and it depends on yourself how to do it! Take this Yellow Turban Uprising as an example, the history books have always said that natural disasters, plagues, and the incompetence of the imperial court made the people follow Zhang Jiao to rebel, but now through their own understanding, they find that political factors are more important, and it seems that this is another game between parties! Through the understanding of his later generations, as well as his current understanding, Cheng Feng clearly knows that Zhang Jiao is just a flashpoint, a stepping stone, and a monster at the level of all restless people, it seems that if he wants to make a difference, he has to rely on Zhang Jiao to become popular, thinking of this, Cheng Feng actually hoped that Zhang Jiao would get up sooner. "Hmph, you've planned it well, do you think you're in control? Then I'll break the balance and add fire to Zhang Jiao! Cheng Feng thought secretly in his heart.
