“？”

Guo Jia had just finished his busy work, and heard that there was a fireside banquet in the former mansion of the Mid-Levels City Mansion.

Zhang Han's fireside banquet has certain rules, but there are not many.

Among them, the banquet in the former mansion means that there is hot soup, dancing girls and beautiful tunes.

Zhongfu is a garden to enjoy the scenery, plain, only wine, Guo Jia is about to quit drinking, afraid that he will be too haggard.

The back house is talking about business, not even the beautiful scenery, sitting in danger with the sand to count the troops, although the enthusiasm is extraordinary, but always feel that something is missing.

So as soon as he heard Qianfu, he dragged his tired body very quickly, ready to relax.

After coming, I met Xi Zhicai at the door, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Aren't you drinking too?"

Guo Jia asked in surprise.

The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth rose, and he snorted coldly: "I'm here to enjoy the dance, watch these beauties who can sing and dance, and have fun with them all night." ”

"Aren't you determined to stop being lustful for beauty?!" Xi Zhicai asked rhetorically.

"I'm going to drink," Guo Jiali said confidently, and the two walked side by side, each having found a suitable reason, and they couldn't refute it.

After arriving at the main hall, Zhang Han served wine directly, but did not call the dancing girl, and ordered the cook to send delicious food to urge him to eat and drink.

After eating almost, the dancing girl still didn't come, and Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia both understood that something was wrong in an instant.

This banquet seems to be not just for them to eat, drink and enjoy, as if there is something to discuss.

Usually only in this way will the dancing girl not be called in, lest the wall have ears and leak the news to others.

"Bo Chang, but what's the matter?" Guo Jia has never liked beating around the bush, so he asked bluntly.

Zhang Han immediately nodded.

“……”

"Tell me, what?"

When the two saw that Jia Xu was also there, they actually felt a little strange in their hearts, Jia Xu's intelligence, how could he be poor, whether it was internal or external affairs, he should have dabbled in it, and there was always something else in his stomach.

If he doesn't have a plan and needs us to discuss, it means that this matter is not something we can solve.

It's troublesome.

Either it involves the Prime Minister or His Majesty, both of which are very troublesome now.

The slightest mistake will lead to suspicion and may fall out of favor.

Zhang Han told Jia Xu about the previous analysis, and the faces of the two of them became visibly solemn.

Guo Jia touched his chin and beard and said: "If you explain it directly to the lord, it is sincere, but in this way, it is also suspected of chasing after the wind, which is not good for your reputation and future." ”

"Hmm...... Think again. ”

He also found it troublesome.

"We didn't expect it to be such a layout before......" After listening to it, after thinking about this distribution, I also felt uneasy.

The important places around Xu Du are all Zhang Han's people, or they are recommended by him, or they are people who have a close personal relationship with him, Nanyang has even let Zhang Han govern, and after a few years, people's hearts will naturally be attached.

Once the prime minister has taken the north, he must govern the south, and if he can't take it, the gap can start from there.

This is no longer a strategy, this is a strategic layout, in terms of sowing discord, this strategy is very clever, and it is secretly provoking Zhang Han's position, and one day, he will never recover.

Just waiting for an opportunity, a fuse.

The person behind this plot cannot be said to be unintelligent, but the figure that appeared in the hearts of the two of them at the first time was actually the leader among the scholars.

Yang Biao.

Only he can have such ability, on the surface, he is close to the Cao family, but secretly he is also towards Yuan Shao, not whether he is light or heavy, but to stabilize the situation and muddy the waters.

"Mr. Wenhe is indeed thoughtful, can this be perceived?"

Guo Jia looked at him with empty eyes, to be honest, at this moment, even he admired this little half-old man a little, talent is accumulated after learning, but this ability to perceive the details is innate.

"It's just a coincidence," Jia Xu sat modestly, he was also strange, after Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai came, he was a lot quieter, most of the time he only listened and didn't speak, waiting for the two of them to finish, pondering, and not saying anything.

It seems that the temperament has always been like this, and the people present have long been used to it, but they don't feel that anything is wrong.

Jia Xushan observes, thinks inwardly, does not compete for fame, and no longer cares about this kind of vanity that is praised.

Zhang Han smiled dumbly and said: "Of course he is good at this, when he was in Chang'an, the big drama of the suspicion of the Son of Heaven and the warlords was stirred up by him in secret. ”

"And no one guessed it was him, and they couldn't even remember this person."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were taken aback, and they all turned their heads to stare at Jia Xu.

The latter was drinking water, and hurriedly swallowed it and waved his hand, "No, no, the prince is too famous, it's really just a coincidence, the old man was just for self-preservation, as for those generals who fought openly and secretly, they were all motivated by their desires." ”

Every time Zhang Han mentioned this matter, Jia Xu was also very scared, and at this time he would always feel that he couldn't see Zhang Han's bottom at all, after all, Zhang Han was not in Chang'an at that time.

didn't put any eyeliner, he was also a meritorious officer in the army at that time, and he was a military advisor with a lot of merit and fame, what kind of status did he have.

The family business began to grow rapidly after the capital of Xu County, and it was still a unique vision, and a large number of fields and real estate were purchased in advance.

Jia Xu always felt that Zhang Han had the ability to predict the future, but there was no evidence, it was too mysterious.

How did he know......

However, fortunately, Jia Xu also knew that Zhang Han had no evidence, and just relied on speculation to pull him out of the fog, so he never admitted it from beginning to end, no matter how Zhang Han induced him, he would not admit it.

Unless it is coercion, when it is really coercion, then talk about it......

"Yes, I won't be provoked by your words," Speaking of this, Zhang Han's eyebrows suddenly opened, he stared at him, and said suspiciously: "You didn't deliberately say these words to cause us to be suspicious of each other, sow discord from them, and take advantage of the chaotic situation to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation, right?" ”

"This, how is this possible!!" Jia Xu jumped up at once, it was outrageous, "No matter how stupid the old man is, he will not abandon the prince and join Yuan Shao, I am deeply favored by the prince, and if the prince is good, I am also good." ”

"If I go to vote for Yuan Shao, I will still be suspicious, at least a few years under the command of the prince, that is friendship, don't say that again!"

Besides, I, I rode away.

"Then where do you think this matter starts? You can't just rely on guesswork to catch suspicions, right? If you tell the prime minister like this, how can there be a good result? ”

"Uh," Jia Xu saw that Zhang Han was pressing, and if he didn't say anything, he might have to be questioned, so he sat up, thought hard for a long time, and said, "Start with the person who recommended Chen Yuanlong when he was appointed and dismissed." ”

"Yuan Long was originally the temple of Dali Temple, took over the post of prince and marquis, served as an official in the court, presided over daily affairs for Zhong Siqing, ensured that Dali Temple was not chaotic, and could sort out the case without backlogging."

"But later, he was transferred to Hanoi, assisted General Zilian, and took over Dong Gongren, this kind of dispatch is wrong."

"Yuanlong is recommended by the prince, how to transfer to the prince should know, even if he was fighting in the south at that time, there should be correspondence, but at this time, it is a strange place, it is not appropriate here, so I will think from here."

"Who is it?"

Zhang Han looked back at Xi Zhicai, among the people present, he was the only one who had been supervising hundreds of officials in Xudu, commanding more than 2,000 people in the school office, and there were thousands of spies in the open and in the dark, so he should know everything about it.

Xi Zhicai suddenly heard this, and secretly agreed in his heart, and said: "I will send someone to ask immediately, Bo Chang doesn't have to worry." ”

"Okay."

……

Xu Du, Yang Mansion.

Yang Xiu rarely returned home, and after eating with his father, he talked all night, and the father and son should not have too much time like this in the future.

Nowadays, the war is tense, Yang Xiu will follow Cao Ang to the battlefield after the beginning of spring, even if he doesn't go, Cao Ang will definitely sit in Xudu, Yang Xiu is the busiest at that time.

Just now, they chatted about several celebrities in Qinghe.

"The implication of my father's words is that although Cui Jun and Fu Jun are first-class, they can't be reused because of their temperament, and those who are officials should still know how to be tactful."

"No," Yang Biao's beard was thick, the wrinkles on his face had gradually deepened, and his hair was half gray, he stroked his beard and smiled leisurely: "This is not sleek, but flexible." ”

"For a courtier, it is nothing to have empty intelligence, but it is best to know how to use the right eloquence, seize the right time, inform the words, and be adopted."

"For example, Tian Feng, a minister under Yuan Shao, is known for his fierceness and insistence on his own opinions, although he is dedicated to the public, he will inevitably collide with his master, and over time he will be disliked, and when his master is bored, no matter what he says, he will not listen to it."

"For example, Xu Du's uncle Chang Junhou, when he speaks and uses timing, he is silent, just right, the prime minister can always use his strategy, and he will leave himself a way to defile himself, and let his reputation, honor and even his self-satisfaction in his heart to others, often after a slight punishment, the prime minister has a sense of control in his heart, and he will be more and more relaxed and loved."

"You don't even need to worry about Zhang Han being complacent and arrogant, after all, every time he makes meritorious contributions, he ends up being scolded, think about it, there have been such courtiers since ancient times?"

Yang Xiu bowed his hand, and the two of them were also quite polite at home, and their expressions when they spoke were also very elegant, and they were not slow.

"I've been taught."

"However, there is still one thing about this prince who is not good," Yang Biao suddenly changed his words, got up for the school examination, and looked at Yang Xiu with a smile and calmness, "Dezu knows, what is not good?" ”

"Too ostentatious?" Yang Xiu wasn't sure, but if he said that his impression of Zhang Han was terrifying, there were too many capable people under his command, even if he was told to do things by decree, he would be terrified.

He believes that others may feel this way, not that Zhang Han is too imposing, on the contrary, his uninhibited prodigal character and his free and easy jokes at any time should be endearing and amiable.

But on the contrary, Yang Xiu felt uncomfortable, if it was said that people had aura, Zhang Han's aura was to make people feel happy and surrender at any time.

If you feel the slightest sense of rejection, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.

This kind of aura is not what a minister should have, of course, Yang Xiu doesn't know how to look at qi, he just describes this feeling.

Besides, he doesn't have this kind of concern when he sees people he knows, so maybe he hasn't really integrated into them yet.

"That's right," Yang Biao nodded, "Since ancient times, there are too many capable people under his command, and he is jealous of the lord, if one day, the prime minister asks him to hand over all the power, what should he do?" ”

He probably doesn't care.

Yang Xiu immediately replied in his heart, he had an intuition, he felt that Zhang Han really didn't care about this, but he naturally denied it, after all, there was no such person in the world.

Those who have a reputation of indifference to fame and fortune are not really indifferent to fame and fortune, because he has already spread this kind of fame, perhaps deliberately.

People who are really indifferent to fame and fortune should not care, and Zhang Han is not like this, he uses fame and fortune as a shield for his disrespect for military orders and reckless behavior, which is playing with fame and fortune.

"Ask my father to teach."

"There will be checks and balances in the DPRK and China, so that the situation can be stabilized, and Bo Chang is not exempt from this difficulty, but now his power is too strong, and I and other bystanders are still uneasy to watch, which shows that he is in the game, how can he avoid this disaster."

The meaning of these words also expressed Yang Biao's feelings simply and clearly, when he looked at Zhang Han's status and situation, he would feel his scalp tingle, but Zhang Han didn't know it.

"No wonder, my father let his son make friends with the prince in his early years, and then ordered his son to concentrate on assisting the eldest prince, which means to seek stability."

Yang Xiu thought about it, and suddenly his heart moved, and he arched his hand and asked, "Since my father knows this, why don't you remind one or two?" ”

"Me?" Yang Biao smiled bitterly: "My father is just an idle errand now, and the court is also a special party, in fact, there is no official and half-position, why bother to make trouble for yourself, you just know." ”

"Wait," Yang Xiu suddenly paused, he could hear something in his words, "Father said this, is there something inside here?" ”

"Nope."

Yang Biao was secretive, his face instantly became serious and solemn, and he kept his mouth shut about it.

Yang Xiu pondered for himself, kept groaning, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and he asked in a rather eager tone: "Father, you must know something, just hinting that I can't be friends with the prince of Bochang, yes or no?" ”

"Not really."

Yang Biao still denied it, but the moment of dodging in his eyes had completely betrayed him.

Yang Xiu directly grabbed his hand sleeve and said solemnly: "Father, this matter is big, you can't hide it anymore, you must have something." ”

"Otherwise, I won't mention the matter of the prince many times, you tell me quickly, you must not trust others, and now the situation is like this, maybe it is all under the control of the school."

"Xiu'er."

Yang Biao pondered and meditated, his expression was extremely difficult, but he obviously couldn't say something.

"Father, what are you planning in private? Are you involved? ”

Yang Xiu was already a little anxious, he didn't ask today, he really couldn't sleep well, seeing that his father was still entangled, his face turned cold, and he sighed: "In this case, the only way to do this is to go to the school office to clarify this matter to prove his innocence." ”

Yes? So where is your filial piety?

Yang Biao was taken aback, because he saw that Yang Xiu's expression was indeed very resolute.

"Not for the father, and the father is not involved."

"Who is that? Father, you say yes! ”

……

Mid-levels Castle House.

Xi Zhicai went back to the school office, and only came back an hour later, and in the winter, he was already sweating.

After he entered the hall, he walked straight to Zhang Han and said: "According to the memories of the school, this was proposed by Shangshutai and Yushifu when it was a court meeting. ”

"Shangshu Taizhong, with Mao Jue as the main leader, so it seems that Yuanlong should be recommended by him, and he has played many times after you arrived in Xudu, reporting and exposing your extravagance and corruption."

Zhang Han: "......"

It's bad, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and my first merit is to cut off his beard......
