Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lang listened to the side and nodded again and again, then toasted a glass of wine to Wei Yan, and complimented: "Xianghou's command is indeed full of talents, and Yuan Shu can't compare it!"

Wei Yan was not too polite, and the wine was dry, but after putting down the glass, he asked Wang Lang mysteriously: "There are two great talents by my lord's side, sir, maybe you can guess who they are?"

Wang Lang was startled, thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?"

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "My lord said that Yuan Zhi is a jade in the stone, and it still needs to be sharpened and polished. It will take five years at the earliest, and eight years at the slowest. After that, he will be a military advisor. Now, he is still a little lacking. Why are you laughing? Is it just a joke, old man?" No?"

Wei Yan took a breath, calmed down, and replied, "I'm a fan of laughing at the prefect of the king!"

"A fan of the authorities?"

Wang Lang blinked his eyes. If it was normal, he might be able to react, but today he drank too much, and he couldn't understand Wei Yan's meaning for a while.

Wei Yan leaned closer to Wang Lang, and said in a playful tone: "Wang Taishou is also a great talent in the world!"

"I?"

Wang Lang was stunned at first, then shook his head and waved his hands and said: "It's too good, it's too good, if you are a scholar, Wang, hehe, you can barely be considered a great talent, but when you are an official, it's not that Wang is arrogant, it is really a person who is better than Wang in this world." There are so many, how can you call yourself a great talent?"

Wei Yan said with a chuckle: "Wei is a vulgar person, he only knows how to lead troops to fight, he doesn't understand anything about learning or educating the people, but Wei knows that my lord's vision will never make a mistake."

Wang Lang was a little surprised and asked: "Could it be that Marquis Xiang has commented on Wang?"

Wei Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know if there are any comments, but if the Wang Taishou is not a great talent, why does my lord help the Wang Taishou to enter Wu County, even at the expense of personally leading the troops?"

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he took a deep look at Wang Lang, then lowered his head to fill the two glasses of wine, but Wang Lang was a little lost in thought because of Wei Yan's words.

As for why he was able to get Li Yi's help, Wang Lang naturally thought about the reason.

Maybe Li Yi is indeed from the perspective of a loyal minister, giving his colleague as much help as he can.

It is also possible that Li Yi wanted to use some means to plant forces in Wu County by helping him, so as to gain a certain right to speak.

Wang Lang hoped that it was the first type, because the first type was relatively simple. Although he owed Li Yi a big favor, there would not be too much trouble afterwards, but reason told Wang Lang that no matter whether Li Yi was a loyal minister or a treacherous minister, he If his personality was so pure, he would have been eaten by people as early as in Luoyang, and there would be no bones left.

Therefore, Wang Lang felt that Li Yi's reason for helping him should be the latter, and it was a conspiracy, but Wang Lang didn't care too much, because that kind of situation was normal, after all, it was human nature.

As for whether Li Yi's handwriting in Wujun would cause trouble or even a threat to his future, Wang Lang didn't think about it at all, because without Li Yi, he would not be able to enter Wujun at all, and now he thinks about that question Pure mediocrity.

Therefore, ever since Li Yi offered to lend a helping hand, Wang Lang's mentality has always been relatively optimistic. After being warmly entertained by Wei Yan, he was even more relaxed. Most of them are awake.

Originally Wang Lang thought that Wei Yan was simply showing off how powerful the talents around Li Yi were to him, but after Wei Yan mentioned Mao Jie and Cheng Yu, he felt something was wrong, and finally Wei Yan said that he was also a great talent , there was a pain in his heart, because his worst situation happened.

According to Wei Yan, Li Yi has a discerning eye, and when he saw a big talent, he got it to his side. Even if it belonged to someone else, he snatched it back. The label of talent, this is completely implying that Li Yi wants to take Wang Lang under his command.

Wang Lang's forehead was sweating, and the muscles on his face were twitching, because this matter was not handled well, and he might be killed.

There are mainly two types of officials today. One is those who have certain power labels on them. Although those people recognize the emperor, most of them are more loyal to their lord and protect their lord's interests. The lord restrains them far more than the emperor. .

Of course, such a matter cannot be discussed in the open, but everyone knows it in their hearts, even the emperor knows it, but there is nothing he can do about it.

Another kind, there may be some shadows of factions on them, but they are not obvious, and the influence is not great. They are essentially the courtiers of the emperor, they obey the orders of the emperor, and they protect Li Yi, who is also the emperor. Wang Lang is one of them a member.

The appointment of the two prefects in Xuzhou this time is a good example. Li Yi made Zhang Liao the prefect of Yuzhang with one sentence, which represented Li Yi's interests. Even if the imperial court appointed the governor of Yangzhou in the future, he wanted Zhang Liao to do something What, there is no play without Li Yi nodding.

Wang Lang served as the prefect of Wujun. Although some things were not clearly stated in the imperial decree, Wang Lang knew that his greatest task was to enhance the influence of the emperor in Yangzhou and let people know that this is the place of the big men, and they are the people of the emperor. Yangzhou also belongs to the emperor.

This job was not easy to do, but before Wang Lang arrived in Wu County, a more difficult choice was before him, and Li Yi wanted to win him over.

Wang Lang felt melancholy and entangled in his heart.

What is melancholy is that Li Yi, a guy who is famous for his loyalty all over the world, is actually dark in his heart. He wants to treat Yangzhou as his own territory.

As for the entanglement, it is Wang Lang's worry about his future. If he follows Li Yi in the future, it will be a betrayal of the court, but he can fight against Li Yi for the court.

Li Yi is obviously not a kind person. Although the current situation is strong, he will not suffer for a while if he falls for him, but after all, the world is still dominated by big men. If Li Yi fails to do something wrong, his reputation as Wang Lang will be ruined.

But Wang Lang didn't have the courage to refuse Li Yi, because even Li Yi didn't need to harm him specifically, as long as he let go and didn't help him, he would be unable to move a single step.

When Wang Lang was pondering in his heart, he suddenly felt someone touch his arm, but it was Wei Yan who leaned over again, looked at him and asked, "What is Wang Taishou thinking?"

"Ah, I didn't think about anything."

Wang Lang hurriedly pretended to be stupid. Originally, in his eyes, Wei Yan was a simple and honest person, but now it seems that he is the one who is stupid.

However, since Wei Yan made this point, he naturally wouldn't give up easily. Anyway, Wang Lang had been given time to think about it just now, and he was already able to go straight to the point.

Serving Wang Langman a glass of wine again, Wei Yan said with a smile: "The prefect Wang is a great talent, and the small prefects of Wu County are nothing to worry about, but the world is not peaceful. Difficult, alas, in comparison, although Wen Yuan is not as talented as Wang Taishou, his luck is much better. After being appointed by the lord, no one in the whole county dared to object, and all the aristocratic families from all over the country came to congratulate him. I heard It is said that now Yuzhang has a well-organized government order and a stable people's heart, and it looks like it is thriving."

Listening to Wei Yan's words, Wang Lang's heart was heavy, and he felt a little sour.

He naturally knew that the reason why Zhang Liao went so smoothly was not because of Li Yi's backing for Zhang Liao, and although he, Wang Lang, was the son of the emperor, he was a solid man.

In such a comparison, Wang Lang's face is not good-looking, and he is really overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Wei Yan laughed secretly in his heart, and said: "In the early days, in terms of status and birth, there were not many people in the world who were better than my lord, but there were endless people who followed my lord, and most of them were talents. Does Wang Taishou know the reason for this?"

Before Wang Lang could answer, Wei Yan said to himself: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, that's all."

Wang Lang's hand holding the wine glass tightened. Obviously, this sentence touched him very much. After all, his current difficulties were ultimately due to the lack of good trees.

Seeing the change in Wang Lang's expression, Wei Yan smiled slightly. Feeling that the fire was almost ready, he cleared his throat, looked into Wang Lang's eyes, and asked, "Wang Taishou is very knowledgeable, so it is natural to understand such a simple truth. Then, do not choose at this time." Live in a tree, when will you wait?"

Chapter 532 Wang Lang Drunk

when

Hearing Wei Yan's question and looking at Wei Yan's face so close at hand, Wang Lang's heart was beating wildly, and his face, which was flushed from drinking too much alcohol, gradually turned pale.

After all, Wei Yan is a military commander, he only has a ferocious aura on him, and it's nothing more than a normal relationship. Now that Wang Lang knows that Wei Yan has other plans for him, this makes Wang Lang very worried. will kill him.

That situation makes me shudder to think about it.

It's not that Wang Lang is too cowardly or spineless, it's just a human's instinct when his life is threatened, especially those who die inexplicably and can't even hit a splash.

However, he was really unwilling to ask Wang Lang to nod his head.

Now Wang Lang has figured it out. Wei Yan said that Li Yi thinks he is a great talent or something. This is very false. What Li Yi valued was not his talent, but his status as the prefect of Wujun.

So, to put it bluntly, even if he wants to join Li Yi, he can't easily nod, otherwise Li Yi will probably treat him as a weak bone, smiling on the surface, but looking down on him at all in his heart, and throwing him away after use.

Under the tangled left and right, Wang Lang gritted his teeth, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, his figure swayed into a dizzy state, and at the same time he said with some hesitation: "General, what did the general just say? clear."

Seeing this, Wei Yan was speechless. He didn't expect Wang Lang to be so shameless and pretend to be dizzy, and he fainted so suddenly. Could it be that he thought Wei Yan was a fool?

Wei Yan was about to repeat what he said just now, but Wang Lang was willing to go all out. He hummed twice, then leaned to the side, and lay still on the couch.
