The next day, Taihao told Shaoling of his plan. Shaoling heard this and did as planned. After he dressed up, he went to the City Lord's Mansion.

According to the agreement, the list will be handed over to Yao Fuji today, but the list has not yet been determined. Tai Hao decided to follow the strategy given by Fu Ganhe yesterday, go to meet Yao Fuji first, and recommend Shaoling to him in person. Before going out, he remembered what Zhong Ding told him about Brother Gu Sheng yesterday, and he originally planned to arrange for Yu Yu to go to Luyang City to investigate, but he was worried that Yao Fuji would use the same method as catching Brother Gu Sheng, and then arrest Sister Gu Sheng, so he could only give up.

Taihao took a deep breath and cheered himself up. When he walked to the door of the yamen, he saw Bi Luojing walking out of the yamen. Tai Hao first bowed to Bi Luojing and said, "How is Lord Bi Luojing?" ”

Bi Luojing glanced at Tai Hao obliquely, pretending to be polite and arched his hand: "Hey, this is not General Taihao, General Taihao is out of character to salute the lower officials, and the lower officials should salute you first." ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It turns out that Lord Bi Luojing understands the etiquette of officialdom, and this official still thinks that in the officialdom of Pinghe City, there is really only the kind of official who can only announce personal vendetta and does not understand the slightest etiquette." ”

Bi Luojing was shocked, he just wanted to mock Tai Hao, but he didn't expect him to completely change his previous attitude, and what did he mean by "communiqué personal vendetta" in his words? Bi Luojing smiled: "Communiqué personal vendetta? Do we have such officials in Pinghe City? ”

Tai Hao was blunt and said to Bi Luojing: "Of course there are, for example, some officials are afraid that their affairs will be exposed, so they will use their power to suppress and retaliate against those people who expose them; There are also officials who do not hesitate to harm the interests of the people for their own selfish interests; What's more, in order to suppress and weaken the power of the comrade, he grabbed the other party's entourage and never released it, and even secretly escorted the other party's entourage to other places after the comrade was promoted, which are all manifestations of the communiqué's personal vendetta. ”

Bi Luojing's face changed slightly, and he realized that there was a deep meaning in Taihao's words. He decided not to go toe-to-toe with Tai Hao anymore, and said with a smile: "General Tai Hao is right, presumably General Tai Hao is here to report to the city lord of Yaofuji, so Xia Guan will not delay your trip." ”

Taihao said goodbye in time, turned around and left, without looking back or saying goodbye. Behind him, Bi Luojing laughed maliciously, and said secretly in his heart: "Look at your arrogant appearance!" Your retinue is firmly in my hands, even if you sit in the position of the general of the city guard, who will take you seriously! ”

Tai Hao arrived at the front hall of the yamen and saw Yao Fuji, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully to Yao Fuji: "See the city lord, the lower official specially came to the yamen to inform him about the list, the list has not yet been completed, and it can only be handed over to the city lord tomorrow." ”

Yao Fuji said: "Oh? Is the change significant? ”

Tai Hao said: "There is no change, but there is a position that wants to add a young talent." ”

After hearing this, Yao Fuji smiled slightly: "General Taihao is now the general who defends the city, increase and decrease the number of officers in the army, don't tell me, General Taihao will decide for himself, and he will hand over the list to this official tomorrow." ”

Tai Hao nodded and replied: "The lower official will definitely hand in the list on time tomorrow, but what the lower official wants to say, I want to add another lieutenant." ”

Yao Fuji listened to Taihao's words, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He paused and said, "Is this young man you are talking about called Shaoling?" ”

Taihao's heart moved, but he didn't expect Yao Fuji to know Shaoling, and immediately replied: "Exactly." ”

Yao Fuji said lightly: "I have already heard of his talent, he was originally from a dignified background, and was appointed by the emperor as the entourage of General Taihao. Now that you have recommended him as an adjutant, of course this officer agrees with General Taihao's arrangement. But have you ever thought that he is the champion, but why is he not valued by the emperor? ”

Taihao listened to Yao Fuji's words, and his heart was foggy, and he didn't know what Yao Fuji said. He paused, and then asked, "I don't know, the city lord knows why Shaoling is not valued?" ”

Yao Fuji glanced at Tai Hao deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Shaoling was born in a famous family, his grandfather was a former prime minister, and his aunt was given to the first emperor to be named a young concubine. Later, the young concubine gave birth to a prince to the first emperor, but the prince only lived for seven days and died. Although this matter was not the fault of the young concubine, it caused the resentment of the first emperor. After that, the first emperor gradually snubbed the young concubine, and two years later, the young concubine died of illness. Shaoling's grandfather was also belittled because of his political speech, and their family has been in decline since then. Shaoling has liked to read and study since he was a child, and has great ambitions, and finally got the top prize, but he can't get the emperor's reuse, and the main reason is this. ”

Taihao listened to Yao Fuji's words, and not only felt injustice in his heart, but also began to have some new views on Yao Fuji. What Tai Hao doesn't understand is why Yao Fuji knows more about Shaoling than himself? How on earth did he know so many things?

Tai Hao felt a little puzzled, but he didn't show it, he pondered for a moment and said: "Thank you for reminding the city lord, about Shaoling's life experience, Xiaguan doesn't know anything about Shaoling, it seems that Xiaguan must do his best to cultivate Shaoling in the future." ”

Yao Fuji nodded with a smile and continued: "Okay, you go back and prepare the list first, according to the current situation, since Shaoling has been recommended by you, then promote him to be an adjutant in the first army and let him play his talents." ”

Taihao saluted and said goodbye, there were some long-standing mysteries in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would have some doubts, he didn't expect Yao Fuji to agree to his recommendation so smoothly, and he also mentioned that Shaoling should be the deputy lieutenant of the first army, and the first military captain Fu Ganhe is the main force in the army of Taihao's camp, so that Shaoling will also smoothly become a soldier to join the army. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he watched Tai Hao leave, he had already thought of a plan worth trying. Yao Fuji knew that Shaoling had a grudge against him for not being reused in the imperial court, so he asked Taihao to recommend him to become an official in the army, so that Shao Ling could be kind to him and gradually master his psychology. Of course, this is only part of the plan, and the real important thing is yet to come.

After Taihao left the yamen, he thought about what Yao Fuji said all the way. Shaoling's family background and experience made him feel a little guilty, he just wanted to give Shaoling a chance to show his talents, but he didn't expect that there were so many stories behind it. Tai Hao decided deep down in his heart that he must try to promote Shao Ling as much as possible and help him get everything he deserves. And now, Yao Fuji agreed so smoothly to let Shao Ling become the lieutenant, and now let Shao Ling go to the City Lord's Mansion to "tie up" the City Lord's wife, which is purely superfluous, and Shao Ling will tell him that the plan has changed after returning to the house, and there is no need to go to the City Lord's wife for the time being.

After returning to his house, Tai Hao saw several craftsmen taking off the plaque of the "Deputy General's Mansion" and replacing it with a brand new "General's Mansion" plaque. As soon as he entered the mansion, a family member came to Taihao and said, "General, there is a guest from Luyang City who has been waiting in the front hall for a long time. ”

Tai Hao was suddenly a little puzzled, and muttered, "From Luyang City? Could it be Brother Canggu? ”

He hurried to the antechamber, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure. But it's not Canggu, it's Daji. Taihao hurriedly stepped forward happily and said to Daji: "Brother Daji is here, why didn't any of my entourage come out to entertain him, it's really rude." ”

Daji smiled: "Don't blame, don't blame, Miss Qiyu came here just now, saying that General Taihao is out, I'll wait here, it's not in the way." ”

Tai Hao asked again: "Is Brother Canggu okay recently?" ”

Daji said: "General Canggu is all right, I came today to deliver a letter, this is written by General Canggu to you." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Taihao.

Tai Hao took the envelope and asked as he opened it, "What letter did Brother Canggu write to me?" ”

Daji smiled and said, "You have to take a look at this for yourself." ”

Taihao unfolded the letterhead and wrote:

"Brother Taihao: There are three things I need to inform you today, first, Gu Sheng was recently detained in Luyang City by Bi Luojing at the request of Na Gan to be imprisoned in Luyang City, and he has been secretly acquitted by this official a few days ago, and everything is fine in this official mansion, and he cannot leave Luyang City for the time being, so as not to anger the traitor; 2. The day of the traitor's army has changed, and it must be advanced to the fifteenth day of the first month, so it is necessary to be ready for battle at all times; 3. The emperor is already aware of the situation in the north, and when the war begins, he will send troops to support. ”

Tai Hao carefully read Canggu's letter, feeling a little worried. He understood that this was the information that Canggu secretly passed on to him, and it also represented the blood alliance between them. The most worrying of the three was the news of the early time of the traitor uprising, which made their already tense situation even more difficult.

Tai Hao took a deep breath, raised his head, and smiled at Daji: "Thank you Brother Daji for spreading the voice, and please reply to Brother Canggu on my behalf, just say that I already know, and I will do my best to stabilize the situation and step up military training." ”

Daji said: "General Canggu also asked me to tell General Taihao that I should be more careful in Pinghe City recently, so as not to be seen through by traitors. ”

Taihao nodded, his expression serious. He knew that the situation was very dangerous, and that any small negligence could lead to disaster. He must always be vigilant to ensure the safety of himself and his men.

Taihao raised his hand and motioned for the family on the side to come over, asking him to go to the backyard to call Onishi and Jiayu to the front hall. After Onishi and Juyu came to the front hall, Taihao explained to them: "You should go to the army camp now, and tell Lord Fuganhe, please ask him to summon all the officials of the imperial court in Pinghe City to the general's mansion tonight, and discuss important matters, remember to keep this matter secret." ”

Onishi and Juyu retreated in response, and Taihao looked at their departing figures, and a sense of responsibility rose in his heart. He knew that he had a great mission to protect the peace of this land and the people, and he could not slack off in the slightest.

At this time, Daji said to Tai Hao: "General Tai Hao, it's not too early, I'm going back to Luyang City, now these two cities are very strict when they go out of the city and enter the city, and it took a lot of energy to send this letter over......

Tai Hao nodded and said, "It seems that the traitor is very guarded, and Brother Daji must be more careful on the way back." ”

Daji arched his hand and said: "I know this, thank you General Taihao for your concern." ”

After saying that, Daji turned around and left the General's Mansion. After Daji left, Tai Hao put away the letter and paced in the front hall to start thinking about the next plan of action. He knew that in the face of the threat of traitors, he could not wait and had to act quickly.
