Chapter 896 Guanzhong Family, Jingzhaowei Family
After making the arrangements for Du Ji, Liu Zhang became excited all of a sudden.
The first person, Wei Ji, arranged such a big gift for him, and there are six people behind, what kind of surprises are there?
Wei Ji also wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and finally came to the second person under Liu Zhang's expectant eyes.
"Duke Qin, this is Pei Mao."
"Pei Mao, courtesy name Juguang, is the son of Pei Ye, the former governor of Bingzhou!"
"The Pei family has stood in Hedong for hundreds of years, and has a very close relationship with our Wei family."
Pei Mao stepped forward slightly and bowed to Liu Zhang.
"Pei Mao pays his respects to Duke Qin."
"Mr. Pei doesn't need to be too polite."
The middle-aged man who was nearly half a century old in front of him made Liu Zhang feel very familiar.
"Has Gu met Mr. Pei somewhere?"
Although Pei Mao didn't give Liu Zhang the surprise of being a great talent like Du Ji did, the familiarity is still kinder.
Pei Mao nodded and bowed again.
"When the Duke of Qin was promoted to General Wei in the imperial court, I was also promoted to Shangshu."
"However, not long after, the first emperor died, and Dong Zhuo was in chaos."
"Before the officials had time to meet Duke Qin, Duke Qin led his army to Hanzhong."
Liu Zhang suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that he had seen Pei Mao somewhere.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, the two were ministers in the same palace!
However, the position of Shangshu was not considered a high-ranking official during the period of Emperor Ling, but only as a subordinate official of the Shaofu.
It is completely incomparable with Liu Zhang's General Wei, and even the latter general who opened the mansion.
It is estimated that this is also the main reason why Liu Zhang did not notice Pei Mao.
During the period of Emperor Ling, there were relatives and generals He Jin, eunuch Shi Changshi, and aristocratic families Yuan and Yang.
At that time, the power of the imperial court was concentrated in the hands of these people, and there was no official order at all.
Even the order of the minister is not displayed, let alone a minister.
"Shouldn't Pei Shangshu serve in the imperial court? How could...?"
Liu Zhang couldn't help being a little puzzled. It stands to reason that after the imperial court moved eastward, Pei Mao should also follow the emperor.
After all, Pei Mao's official position is still in the court sequence.
Pei Mao bowed again before explaining to Liu Zhang.
"Qin Gong said that in the third year of Jian'an, I was ordered to attack Li Jue and Guo Si, and was left in Hedong by the court."
"It turned out to be like this..."
Now Liu Zhang understood that Pei Mao should have been deliberately thrown in Hedong by Cao Cao!
In order to further control the imperial court and infinitely weaken the emperor's rights, Cao Cao killed and rushed!
Pei Mao happened to be one of those who were driven away!
"Since this is the case, it happens that Qin's Shangshutai has just been established. Mr. Pei is willing to join and work for Gu?"
Pei Mao was overjoyed immediately, how could he not want to.
"Thank you, Duke Qin!"
Although Liu Zhang didn't have much impression of Pei Mao, judging from his calm face, he could also know that he was talented.
After handing over to Jia Xu and Xun You, they will definitely give Pei Mao a suitable position.
After Pei Mao passed, Wei Jiao walked between the two and introduced to Liu Zhang at the same time.
"Duke Qin, these two are brothers Fu Yun and Fu Xun."
"The Fu family is the descendants of Fu Jiezi, a famous family in Beidi County!"
"The two talents of the Fu family heard about Duke Qin's name, so they came back to Guanzhong from Guandong to serve!"
Fu Yun and Fu Xun came forward to pay homage at the same time.
"Meet Duke Qin!"
"You two gentlemen don't need to be too polite."
Liu Zhang helped the two of them up with a smile on his face, but he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart. Pei Mao, Fu Yun, and Fu Xun may all be talented for a while, but they are not as bright as Du Ji after all.
It seems that the only great talent harvested today is Du Ji.
However, Liu Zhang still did not show any displeasure. At least it is a blessing that the Fu family brothers are willing to return to their hometown.
After exchanging pleasantries with Fu Yun and Fu Xun brothers, Liu Zhang personally arranged for them to work in Chang'an.
"Qin Gong, these two are extraordinary, their status is far from being comparable!"
Wei Ji walked to the side of the other two again, and showed a look of amazement.
This completely caught Liu Zhang's attention, and he became eager in his heart.
"Bo Yu, who are these two?"
Without waiting for Wei Ke's introduction, the two took the initiative to pay homage.
"Wei Kang, Wei Dan, meet Duke Qin!"
Liu Zhang nodded with a little understanding. It turned out that he was a member of the Wei family of Jingzhao family!
"The two gentlemen are free!"
Jingzhaowei's family may not be as good as the Yuan family and Hongnong Yang family in Runan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but if it was in the Western Han Dynasty, the Yuan family and the Yang family were not worthy of carrying Wei's shoes!
During the Western Han Dynasty, there were more than a dozen members of the Wei family clan who held official positions of two thousand shi or more in the court!
It is also the father and son prime minister, the third generation and the third prince, and the fourth generation as a marquis, directly becoming the most powerful clan in the pass!
In fact, Webster did not decline during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were still clan members who continued to hold important positions.
Of course, compared with the Sangong in the Western Han Dynasty, the position of prime minister is naturally much inferior.
"I wonder how Mr. Wei Duan is doing recently?"
"My father has been recuperating at home, thank you Mr. Qin for your concern."
Listening to the Wei brothers' answer, Liu Zhang was so embarrassed that he couldn't help himself.
If it weren't for Liu Zhang to express Lu Su's succession as governor of Liangzhou, then the post of Liangzhou pastor would have fallen to Wei Duan.
In fact, when Liu Zhang and Han Sui were in a stalemate, the court had already issued an order.
However, the entire Yong and Liang prefectures were in chaos, and Wei Duan had no chance to take office.
When the war between Yongliang and Liang was settled down, the imperial court didn't care what they said, and Liu Zhang had to listen to everything.
It is entirely because of Liu Zhang that Wei Duan is at home now.
Therefore, for the Wei family, there may be some conflicts with Liu Zhang!
Liu Zhang never thought that the two brothers Wei Kang and Wei Dan could come to pledge their allegiance under such circumstances.
However, the Wei family's ability to take the initiative to let go of their dignity is definitely of great benefit to Liu Zhang.
Guanzhong has just been pacified, if all the clans are against Liu Zhang, it will definitely give Liu Zhang a headache.
Although it will not affect Liu Zhang's rule, it will greatly hinder the development of Guanzhong.
In this era, families like the Wei family cannot be slaughtered easily, otherwise they will fall into endless civil strife like the Jiangdong Sun family.
On the issue of dealing with the family, it is not necessary to kill people.
As long as the family is willing to abide by the rules of Qin, Liu Zhang is also willing to coexist with them.
The Wei family took the initiative to contribute, which can set an example for all Guanlong families to a large extent.
In the future, more and more families will take the initiative to take effect.
This will definitely have a great positive effect on Liu Zhang's rule and the development of Guanzhong.
And regardless of the family, Wei Kang and Wei Dan both have good talents, at least able to govern a state.
With Wei Kang and Wei Dan, the Guanlong faction will also appear in the court of Qin State in the future, and it will no longer be the situation where the Yizhou family is the only one.
After a while of pleasantries, Liu Zhang entrusted them with important tasks.
Wei Kang and Wei Dan got their wish, one got the post of sheriff, and the other served in the court.
