Chapter 975 Someone Is Calculating and Plotting

The Xiden Building has a wood-brick structure, and the walls are brick, but most of the floors, floor beams, etc. are made of wood. Not only are they painted with black paint, but they are also painted with red paint on the corners to outline some simple patterns. , looking dignified and grand.

The furnishings in the elegant rooms are also consistent with the mainstream habits of the Han Dynasty, simple but not simple.

The ebony table top has only a small cloud pattern painted with gold paint on the corner of the table. The floor is covered with pure white reed mats, which are not only soft but also comfortable. There are many fine wines and delicacies placed on the table.

There is an incense burner in the corner, a plume of green smoke rising up, exuding bursts of fragrant atmosphere.

But the three people in the room had no intention of paying attention to these decorations, nor did they have any thoughts on these fine wines and delicacies.

"General Zhengxi..."

Someone didn't know who sighed softly.

This feeling is not very good. It is as if the top laner has worked hard and achieved certain results, pushing it to the bottom lane. But when he looks back, his middle lane and bottom lane have collapsed, and his teammates are still scolding him on the screen. I am not good at it alone and I don’t know how to work as a team...

Who can blame this?

Who can say that?

"Since we are worshiping Zhengxi, we can naturally open a mansion..." A slightly older middle-aged man said, stroking his beard silently.

The middle-aged man has a handsome appearance, long eyebrows and beard, and graceful sleeves. He looks very elegant.

Build teeth and open a mansion.

Whether a local military official can establish a family or not is an important watershed for a local military position.

Although the general's jurisdiction may appear to be very large, in fact it often depends on the cooperation of local institutions. For example, if Fei Qian wants to mobilize soldiers from Hexi and Dongxi He counties, Wang Yi or Cui Jun will buy some face at some point, but if Fei Qian sends the order to Youzhou, saying that he wants to mobilize the troops of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du , then it’s probably haha.

According to the system, there are not many official subordinate officers under the jurisdiction of the Huxiong Zhonglang general. Generally, there are two people working and a number of captains. Therefore, when Fei Qian arranged subordinate officials before, he sometimes used local official positions. arranged, but in this way, sometimes these subordinate officials have to accept a dual identity. On the one hand, they are officials of Feiqian, and on the other hand, they may be restricted by other local officials.

For example, Jia Qu back then.

But things are different now.

"There are many men who have been awarded to protect Xiongzhong, but how many will we need to conquer the west?" The speaker was another young man, also a good-looking man, elegant and handsome.

Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, no fewer than twenty or thirty people have been awarded the title of "Guardian of the Huns", while the number of "Generals of the Western Expeditions" has been reduced to a handful, even less than the number of generals, hussars, and chariot generals.

The reason for this phenomenon is mainly because the Han Dynasty has been in peace for a long time.

Although there were many wars at the border, with ups and downs, it was relatively peaceful most of the time, especially after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expelled the Xiongnu, there were no major wars. Therefore, such as protecting the Huns Zhonglang Generals, Colonel Protectors of Wuhuan, Generals of Du Liao, etc. have become more important frontier military positions, while generals like the Sifang General have basically become empty positions.

At this time, the generals in the Han Dynasty were still very few and noble. In many cases, there was only one general above the general Zhonglang.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the three generals sent by the central government to quell the chaos were all generals named Zhonglang.

The random use of general names is something that comes later. At this point, a serious general who conquers the west is extremely precious.

The purpose of the middle-aged and young people talking about this matter is actually to tell another person who is sitting in the main seat in the private room but has been silent. The current matter will change with Fei Qian's position. , it started to become difficult to handle.

"So what about the expedition to the west?" The man who looked like a noble man in gorgeous clothes sitting at the top of the table said after pondering for a long time, "On the battlefield, we are not as good as the expedition to the west, but here..."

The man who looked like an aristocratic prince nodded vaguely outward, lowered his voice and said: "...the expedition to the west started at the time of duckweed. I have been doing all kinds of things. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Now that I am enjoying a high position, it is nothing more than recruiting Hu cavalry. Cultivate fields and build a school. Brother Zixie is now very famous in the school. Brother Meng Zhang is working hard, how can he give up so easily?"

"...Furthermore, I also have the approval of the General of Chariots and Cavalry. If there are any changes..." Your Excellency slightly arched his hands to the east, showed respect, and said, "...then he will send the general into Baijing to assist. !”

This sentence is the most crucial.

After the noble master told it, he also showed some complacency.

The General of Zhengxi is certainly a high-ranking official, but what if he is compared to the General of Chariots and Cavalry?

The middle-aged man and the young man looked at each other and saw that the noble man looked like he would not give up until he reached his goal, so after pondering for a moment, they both nodded silently...

"However, there is one more thing..." the middle-aged man said, "...I heard that Zidu... recovered?"

Speaking of this matter, the noble man twitched his lips secretly, and then put on a sad expression and said: "Brother from a certain clan... How can I be so jealous of talented people! Alas... after all, the clan My brother has been in bed for ten months, and now he is even more skinny...sigh..."

The middle-aged man said "Oh", nodded, pondered for a while, and suddenly said softly: "The moonrise is bright, and there are outstanding people. Such a beautiful person is so beautiful, but there is nothing I can do..."

When the young man heard this, he looked up at the middle-aged man, then quickly turned his head to look at the noble young master. Then he lowered his head, subconsciously picked up the meat cutting knife, and gently cut off a piece of the burnt meat, waiting for preparation. When I put it in my mouth, I suddenly thought of something. I couldn't help feeling a little nauseous, so I put down the meat burnt and the knife, picked up the elephant chopsticks, picked up some dishes from the bean plate, put it in my mouth, and put it in my mouth. Look like you are intoxicated with delicious food.

The noble prince turned to look at the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man raised the wine cup as if nothing had happened, and then said quietly: "The sky has been sunny recently, which is a good time to watch the moon. If I stay for a few more days, the haze and rain will continue." When it comes, the bright moon will no longer be visible..."

The noble prince frowned and said, "What do you think?"

The middle-aged man smiled, raised his wine cup to signal to the noble young master again, and said: "It doesn't matter what someone wants, it depends on what the young master wants."

Suddenly there was silence in the table.

The noble prince glared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and kept toasting.

The young man on the side tilted his head slightly, not looking at the two of them, as if he didn't hear or see anything.

After a long time, the noble master gritted his teeth and said, "Good! I know about this... But outside the wooden tablet, in the smelly room, I have troubled you two..."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

"Natural, natural..."

The three of them drank together in silence, and then chatted for a few more words. The noble-looking man left the table first. The middle-aged man and the young man took the young master out for a while. After taking the young master away, they returned to the private room and sat down.

"...Brother Zixie," the young man thought for a moment and said, "Ziming is a man who is clumsy and clumsy, flashy and greedy, and is not good enough to achieve anything..."

The middle-aged man showed a sarcastic smile and said, "How could I not know?"

The young man didn't quite understand and said, "Then why does Brother Zixie..."

The middle-aged man did not answer directly, but slowly picked up the elephant chopsticks and started eating and drinking. After a long time, he said: "No harvest, but fertile soil?"

The young man opened his eyes wide and said: "...Brother Zixie means..."

The middle-aged man shook his head, put the chopsticks in front of his mouth, hissed, and pointed at the dishes.

The young man nodded understandingly and said no more words. Instead, he and the middle-aged man concentrated on eating and drinking together...

…………………………

However, the noble prince sat unsteadily on his horse and returned to his residence in Pingyang.

This is a large courtyard with three entrances. Although from the outside, you can only see some white walls and blue bricks, and several building corners slanting out among the greenery. There is nothing too conspicuous, but when you hang your hands outside the door The two standing servants and two strong men can already explain some problems.

Seeing that the noble master was back, the servant at the door trotted forward and took the reins of the horse. While helping the noble master to dismount, he hurriedly greeted: "Open the door quickly, Mr. Chen is back!"

The servant behind the door heard the sound and quickly opened the side door, preparing to welcome the noble master in.

The noble master habitually opened his legs and was about to enter the door. He suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly to look at the tightly locked main door and the two beasts above the red door...

"...Chen Langjun...Chen Lang Jun?" The servant didn't know why the noble master stopped and asked softly in confusion.

The noble master suddenly realized that he withdrew his gaze, then smiled and said in a concealed manner: "There seems to be dust on the door, so you must wipe it off diligently..."

"Wei, only..."

The servant hurriedly agreed, and then secretly glanced at the door. Above the door, the bright red paint could be used to identify people's figures. The bronze on the door knocker was also polished and shined brightly under the sunlight. Sparkling, where did the dust come from?

But since Chen Langjun said so, let’s just rub it again...

After entering the side door, turned around the screen wall, and then entered the second entrance. After passing through the corridor, I arrived at the second entrance. A young man, probably less than twenty years old, was holding a book in the hall and reading.

Seeing the noble prince coming, the young man put down his book, sat upright on the table for a moment, cupped his hands, and said, "I've seen my uncle..."

The noble prince put on a smile, sat down at the table, and said kindly: "Yin Zhi, we are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite... are you studying? By the way, why didn't you go to the Academy today? ?”

The young man, Wang Hei and Wang Yinzhi cupped his hands and replied: "Uncle, I have a rest in the academy today."

According to the custom of Han government officials, the Academy has a bathing break every five days. Of course, not everyone can enjoy such a bathing break. Those who are good at studying can naturally find a doctor or offer a sacrificial wine and get it. The wooden sign allows you to go down to Pingyang from Taoshan to go shopping, shopping, eating, drinking, or doing other things. But those who are not good at studying can only stay in the academy...

Anyway, in China, from ancient times to the present, people who do not study well have no human rights to speak of. This is an unspoken rule recognized by everyone.

"Oh..." Your Excellency slapped his forehead and said, "... I almost forgot about my nephew... Since it's Mu Xiu, why study hard here? You should have a good rest. The sage said, you need to relax. It’s time…”

"Wei." Since his uncle Wang Chen said so, Wang Hei had no choice but to nod his head, put down the scroll in his hand, and let the servant on the side put it away first.

The noble prince Wang Chen smiled with satisfaction, then came closer and whispered: "...Xian Nephew, the singer your uncle gave you a few days ago... are you satisfied?"

Wang Hei was a little embarrassed and nodded slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Wang Chen smiled more and more gently, "Nephew, you don't have to be like this. You must know the human relations, which is the way of a saint...Besides..." Halfway through, Wang Chen suddenly stopped smiling, shook his head and sighed, "...Alas, Now the old man... alas, brother Zidu also... alas..."

Wang Chen reached out and patted Wang Hei's shoulder, and said seriously: "...If it hadn't been delayed because of..., my nephew would be getting married now, so there would be no need for my uncle to bother... But... Well, it would be good to spread the branches and leaves earlier... By the way, Mencius once said, "There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an offspring. Shun married without complaining, which was considered to be without offspring. A gentleman thought it was better to complain." Therefore, this matter There is no need to inform the old lady and Zidu's brother. Moreover, she is just a singer and the marriage is informal. After all, this is a trivial matter, so there is no need to alarm the old lady and Zidu's brother. It is only right to let them rest and recover... "

Wang Hei felt that there seemed to be some truth to it, and because of his young age, he was too shy to speak out about it, so he nodded.

Wang Chen smiled with satisfaction, then laughed loudly, and drove Wang Hei to the backyard, saying: "A talented man sitting alone in a desk, and a beautiful lady guarding an empty room, what a disgrace to the scenery! Go, go, it's a lesson." Gong Muxiu, naturally caressing the fat, playing with red makeup, rubbing the ears and temples, playing the harp, sitting here with someone, wasting such a good time, isn't it a pity? Let's go, let's go..."

Wang Hei blushed, but when Wang Chen said this, the young man was full of energy, so he naturally felt a little moved, so he held his hands in confusion and said goodbye to the backyard.

Wang Chen looked at Wang Hei's retreating back with a smile. When he could no longer see his clothes fluttering in the corridor, he slowly stopped smiling, and pulled the corners of his eyes and mouth down, revealing a cold gaze.

It's a pity that although Pingyang is prosperous now, it is still newly built after all. Many of them are not as good as Chang'an Luoyang, and even Taiyuan cannot compare. The number of top-grade singers is also a little scarce. It took a long time to find such a one. It cannot be obtained from the Taiyuan family, otherwise God and the clan brothers will know about it...

Wang Chenba smacked his mouth twice, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart. The singer who gave it to Wang Hei had personally inspected the goods. Naturally, she knew how smooth and lovely it was under the red dress. If she didn't want to seduce Wang Hei, or where would the charming Hongwan be? Will it be Wang Hei's turn?

snort.

Wang Chen looked up at the sky and said silently in his heart, Hehe, brother Zidu, relax, I will definitely take good care of my nephew, haha, I will take good care of my nephew...
