The spirit of spring in the year of Jiazi sticks out its head tremblingly in Luoyang City.Although everyone still wears winter clothes when they go out, the buds of wintersweet in the yards of wealthy families have already sprouted crisp yellow shoots.And this shallow spring feeling became even more enthusiastic when it arrived at the newly renovated Grand General's Mansion.Not to mention the fresh flowers brought in from the south, when it comes to the concierge who came to deliver name cards, give gifts, beg for mercy, and seek relatives, there was a crowded circle.
Such a grand scene has lasted for a winter.
The concierge of the He family has developed an arrogant face and a pair of snobbish eyes.He didn't even glance at most of them.Nonsense, if any rascal can get benefits from the general, then opening ten more doors won't be enough.
Standing on the street, Cao Cao and Gongsundu watched helplessly as a son of a rich family in Shenling was pushed down the steps by his servants, knocked in the cracks in the stones on the ground, and cut a hole in his silk robe.Gongsun Du couldn't help feeling: "The door of the general's room is really high."
Cao Cao also hesitated. Although he is the son of Jiuqing, he has been away from the political center for many years.If he was kicked out because the concierge didn't know him, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of Gongsun Du?Fortunately, his luck has always been good. When he was at a loss, he saw an acquaintance come out of the house—Xu You.
Xu You is Yuan Shao's secret party and Cao Cao's Taixue classmate.As an activist of this era, he can recognize faces better than others, and greeted him enthusiastically immediately: "But Meng De is back?"
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief: "Ziyuan, don't you come here unharmed?"
The two exchanged pleasantries on the street, one said "I want to celebrate Meng De's promotion", the other said "I don't dare to guess what I want", which made Gongsun Du, who was completely speechless, feel a bit embarrassed as a countryman entering the city.
Fortunately, when Xu You was about to pull someone in, Cao Cao finally wanted to come over to introduce a certain Northeast tycoon, so he pulled Xu You with his left hand and Gongsun Du with his right: "This is Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, a famous scholar in Nanyang. This is Gongsun Du Gongsun Shengji, the Patriarch of the Xuantu Gongsun Clan, is also a well-known hero outside the pass."
As a qualified high-class person, Xu You naturally has memorized the genealogy of aristocratic families from all over the world. "I've heard of the Liaodong Gongsun family."
Gongsun Du's eyes flashed: "That's a certain family. Because my father was the prefect in Xuantu, the whole family settled in Xuantu after the division." But Xuantu County was dilapidated under the threat of Goguryeo and Xianbei. , the county has been relocated several times, how can it compare to the stable Liaodong County.
Hearing that Gongsun Du came from a noble family, Xu You smiled, pointed to the main hall of He Mansion and said, "Sheng Ji can win Meng De's favor. I think there must be something special about him. I don't know if he will be able to come from behind in the future." Seeing the children of the branch family surpass the family, even if it is a compliment, it is a bit too much, but it just captured Gongsun Du's heart.
So Gongsundu showed his first hearty smile since we met: "Thank you Ziyuan for your kind words."
Yuan Shao had a temporary residence in He Jin's mansion.Talk about a temporary residence, but it is also a single courtyard, four or five rooms, and the food and decoration are excellent, even two points more luxurious than Gongsun's family in Liaodong.Zhang Miao, Xun Chen, Wu Qiong, Zheng Tai, He Yong and others also lived around.
There are no family members in the staff dormitory, but the work efficiency is quite high.Cao Cao took out the informant letter from Tang Zhou, together with the Taiping Dao tokens, letters and other evidence, and within an hour, a group of people gathered in He Jin's study.No matter how busy He Jin was, he couldn't be busy with Yuan Shao. He was a relative who was born in a butcher, and no matter how high his status was, he treated the children of the family with respect and envy.
"Cao Cao, Taiping Dao is really going to make trouble? Just this year? Is the news reliable?" It was He Jin himself who lived in Luoyang who asked this question.
Cao Cao cupped his hands: "General, I have seen refugees gathering in Taiping Road during my trip to Jizhou this time, and their whereabouts are strange. In addition, I ran into an informant who wanted to inform me on the road, and found these things. The time and place are clear and complete. I can't help but believe it."
The whistleblower letter was divided into several pages, and the people present read it in turn, and the more they read it, the more dignified their faces became.
"This is too absurd!" Zhang Miao slapped the table, "Refugees are trying to overthrow the capital in vain. Are the imperial guards and the northern army all dead? Are the captains of Sili, Henan Yin, and Luoyang Ling all dead? "
He Jin's complexion is also not good. He hasn't finished his appointment process as a general, yet someone rebelled and added to the chaos. How could he be happy?
Xun Chen was more rational, and analyzed in a clear voice: "Luoyang was built with the concept of 'a big city without a country'. The West Market, East Market, Horse Market, and most of the people live outside the city walls. Snakes are mixed, and it is really difficult to investigate if thieves sneak in deliberately. But no matter what they do in the outer city, as long as the arsenal in the inner city is intact, the imperial army is enough to put down the chaos. The only thing to beware of is that there are people in the inner city who take in the rebels."
Yuan Shao squinted his eyes, and flicked one of the cloths with his fingers: "The inner city is full of dignitaries, and if you rush to investigate, what should you do if people think that the general will eliminate dissidents just after taking office? The news of the Taipingdao rebellion in the year Years ago, and now it’s almost five or six years, but all is well. The news this time is shocking, I’m afraid it’s exaggerated.”
"There is no room for loss in important places in the capital!" Cao Cao stood up abruptly, "I also ask the general to report to your Majesty, and please make a decision. The letter contains the confession of the leader of the bandit, Ma Yuanyi, and several strongholds on Taiping Road. At least these places should be thoroughly checked. Let’s not exaggerate it. If we ignore it, and if there is a riot in Luoyang in March, all the places in Jiazi will really come together, and you and I will be sinners through the ages!”
Yuan Shao raised his eyes to look at this former young student, wondering what he was thinking.
Cao Cao turned to Yuan Shao again: "In the beginning, all the aristocratic families had their businesses in the outer city, and there were many old and young women and children among them. It would be a blessing for each family if the disaster can be avoided this time."
"Meng De, don't be impatient." Yuan Shao said slowly, "We are all His Majesty's subjects, and we should contribute to the country."
Yuan Shao was still joking, but He Jin had already been persuaded. He urgently needed to make achievements and sell to the aristocratic family. This time was just an opportunity. "I'll send my servants to investigate these places. If there are any suspicious signs, I will enter the palace immediately!"
Only at this time did Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief, he could feel the heat from the ground and the smell of expensive incense in the room.This is already the best result he can achieve.The current emperor is almost 30 years old. He is arrogant, extravagant and extravagant, but he is not stupid.
At the same time, Qin Liu took a member of the spy department pretending to be a horseman, wandering in Luoyang East City, and gradually came to a "Midou wine shop". "Dalang is a disciple of the famous general Zhang Huan. He has military exploits at the frontier. He has served as Luoyang North Commander and Wen County Magistrate. If he insists, he will be able to persuade He Jin to play. Alas, tonight the city will It's not peaceful."
"Then...don't we do something?" The little stable boy raised his baby face.
"What are you doing?" Qin Liu smiled, "This is Da Lang's achievement, but you can't tear down your own family."
They entered "Midou" and nodded to the old lady who came to say hello: "Is there any plum wine left for Qingming?"
It's just spring, where's the Qingming?But a strange light flashed in the old lady's cloudy eyes: "Does the guest want last year's wine or the year before last? Wine with a long vintage can be fried for three times before it can be drunk."
"Frying wine is also an elegant thing, but I still like last year's wine."
The old lady saluted respectfully: "Please also invite the guests to come with me."
All the way through the back kitchen of the restaurant, through another door, and into a closed courtyard.Seven or eight people of all ages, men, women, and children were exercising in the courtyard, looking unspeakably weird. "Director Qin!" Everyone shouted in unison as Qin Liu showed his ID card.
Qin Liu waved his hand: "You guys continue to practice. I'll just get some local products." The so-called local products are two new books compiled by Zheng Xuan of Nandao, plus some objects such as sapphire paper, pine smoke ink, mink fur and ginseng. It was given to Cao Yin who worked as a secretary and supervisor in Taichang Mansion.
The secretary supervisor of the Eastern Han Dynasty translates to the director of the National Library.A position that was only established by the late emperor has not been valued by the world.But it happened to be cheaper for Cao Sheng.
Five years ago, the emperor launched the most rampant sale of officials in history to build a palace, and even the three princes clearly marked the price.Cao Song originally wanted to buy a Sangong Dangdang, and since then Cao's family has also been from Sangong's family.But both the twins and Hu strenuously opposed it.
"The Sangong who bought an official will not be recognized by the world, but will be ridiculed." Cao Cao said.
"Ah Weng, although the Sangong is noble, he has no real power. Once there is an earthquake and solar eclipse, he will be dismissed from office. At that time, it will be difficult to return to Jiuqing." Cao Sheng said.
So Cao Song gave up the idea of buying Sangong, and turned to help the Cao family's children run it.Needless to say, Cao Cao got the county magistrate of Wen County, and his sixth uncle Cao Yin bought a secretary and supervisor position according to A Sheng's suggestion.Although he is a bit cowardly, it is really hard to justify whether he is Cao Song's biological younger brother, and the eldest is still white.
In the past five years, people from the Luoyang spy department entered and exited the imperial palace and Taixue by serving as child servants for Cao Yin, transcribed most of the official books, and transported them to the South Island one by one.Cao Yin is unknown and has worked hard. Every time he sent something from overseas to Luoyang, Ah Sheng would never lose Cao Yin's share.
Qin Liu painted his face black and rough, and went to serve as a servant to deliver local products. When he came out of Cao Yin's residence, the sun was already westward, but it was still golden and bright. "Oh, it's really inconvenient that there are no wine shops in the inner city." Standing on the sunny street, looking up at the almost identical high walls on both sides, he said to himself, "Go to a kind family and ask for a bowl of water." Bar."
In fact, he turned back to Cao Yin's house, but Qin Liu seemed to have completely forgotten about it, and walked a few hundred meters further, knocking on the side door of a family.
"Can I ask the host for a bowl of water?"
"Get out!" The person who answered the door was impolite and wanted to close the door impatiently.
Qin Liu "tsk tsk" twice in his heart, the level of this disguise is really bad, but he didn't show it on the surface, he stuffed a bamboo slip into the opponent's sleeve, then turned his head and left.
The spy chief felt that he really broke his heart for the sake of peace: he helped to clear up the traitors, he helped to wipe out the three inner city strongholds, he helped to conceal the eunuch's secrets, and he helped to assassinate the emperor. Helped deliver.If this doesn't work out, then Donghuang Taiyi won't be able to save this group of idiots when he comes.As for secretly advancing the time of the assassination, that's something that can't be helped.After all, it took a long time, and those Taiping Roads in the outer city confessed all the insiders, and they couldn't assassinate even if they wanted to.
The emperor has been in power for 16 years and is gradually maturing politically.Facing the situation of uprisings in various states, the difference between the reigning emperor and the young master is heaven and earth.
Such a grand scene has lasted for a winter.
The concierge of the He family has developed an arrogant face and a pair of snobbish eyes.He didn't even glance at most of them.Nonsense, if any rascal can get benefits from the general, then opening ten more doors won't be enough.
