Chapter 25: Zhong Yao

After the morning court, Niu Fu congratulated Cai Yong and hurried back to the mansion. When he arrived at the mansion, Niu Fu looked at Jia Xu with a serious expression and shook his head and said, "I just said something wrong."

"The lord is serious, and the lord has been born to determine his advantages and disadvantages. This is a great kindness," Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Yes, but it's not too late yet. As I said before, if we want to pacify the world, the power of the gentry is necessary. Not only do they have a lot of wealth, but they also have extremely high prestige among the lower class people. More than 60% of the officials in the court came from the gentry, and they can only win over them at present." Li Rudao.

Niu Fu nodded and said, "The construction of the college cannot be achieved overnight. First, send someone to build the college, build a good framework and system, and then recruit in large quantities, starting from Guanzhong, and then promoting it to various states at the right time."

"promise"

"We should recruit more great scholars from all over the world, especially Zheng Xuan, who avoided chaos in Xuzhou. He is a contemporary master and a master of Confucianism. We must send envoys to come here," Niu Fudao.

"I understand"

"On the day when the college starts, this marquis will accompany the emperor and all officials to visit him in person. Remember, if you suffer, you cannot suffer a child, and if you are poor, you cannot educate him." Niu Fu said seriously.

"No" Li Ru admired.

"Wenyou, the Government Affairs Hall is already very busy, and now you have to put a heavy burden on you. Remember to pay attention to your health," Niu Fu said softly.

"Thank you for your concern, I am in good health! My lord has ambitions, but I am only feeling refreshed every day," Li Ru said with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's good." Niu Fu nodded with a smile.

"Lord, Huangmen Minister Zhong Yao asked for a meeting." Not long after, Hu Chier came in to report.

"Zhong Yao" Niu Fu was stunned.

"I believe that the lord, Zhong Yao, whose courtesy name is Yuanchang, is from Yingchuan. He has an extraordinary appearance and is extremely intelligent. He is a rare talent in the court today," Li Ru introduced immediately.

"Is that so? Let him in quickly?" Niu Fu said quickly after hearing this.

"promise"

Not long after, an official who was about forty years old, with a very dignified and handsome face, walked in from outside, looked at Niu Fu in the main position, and bowed to him, "Prince Zhong Yao, pay homage to the Marquis."

"Mr. Zhong doesn't have to be too polite. Is there anything wrong?" Niu Fu said gently.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Yao clasped his fists and said, "After the general entered Chang'an, he appointed the Three Dukes, Emperor Kuang, the Emperor Kuang, and the Guanzhong, so that the people could respect and respect the people, and civil and military service, and now he founded a college to promote the morality of the ruler. Therefore, the officials could not bear such a great situation and were harmed by illegal people."

"The illegal person" Niu Fu was stunned.

"Since ancient times, people have been like water. Anyone who has accomplished great things has been the people of the city. However, during this period, many soldiers under the marquis have violated the law. After the war, the marquis ordered to burn, kill, loot, disrespect the king's laws, harm Chang'an, and disrupt order, causing many innocent people to be persecuted. Good women were deceived, and they had nowhere to complain, and there was no place to raise their grievances." Zhong Yao said deeply.

Niu Fu's eyes narrowed. Zhong Yao was here to complain. He naturally knew that although the court was temporarily calm, it was really chaotic below. The soldiers followed him to call from Hedong, and naturally felt that it was time for harvest.

"Shilarious Minister Zhong, who are you referring to?" Niu Fu asked slightly silent.

Zhong Yao frowned and said, "After the inquiry from the subordinates, the soldiers under the command of Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were the most unrestrained. Not only did they kill several subordinate officials, they also directly plundered the troops."

Hearing this, a hint of appreciation flashed in Niu Fu's eyes, but it was not revealed. Instead, he asked: "What do you want to do with this marquis?"

"The Marquis is serious, and the status of the subordinate is low. Everything is followed by the orders of the Marquis," said Zhong Yao.

"Mr. Zhong, loyal and upright, loves the people as much as his son," Jia Xu next to him said with a smile of appreciation.

"Jingzhao Yin has been awarded too much," Zhong Yao said respectfully.

"Mr. Zhong, please go down first. This matter is known by the Marquis, and there will be a breakdown. Don't worry, Chang'an will not be in chaos." Niu Fu said.

After hearing this, Zhong Yao said with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Yes, Marquis."

After Zhong Yao turned around and left, Niu Fu smiled and said, "Zhong Yao is like a gentleman with great virtue. I guess everyone else knows the situation in Chang'an, but even Yang Biao dares not say it. He is here. This person has great ambitions and great ideals."

"What the lord said is very true. In addition, Zhong Yao didn't come before, but now he is indeed here. It seems that the lord releases Cai Zhonglang and invites the establishment of a college so that many knowledgeable people can understand the ambition of the marquis," said Jia Xu.

"That's true, not only that, Zhong Yao was born in Yingchuan and was born in a famous family. He especially seemed to have a close relationship with the Xun family. The lord should win his heart," Li Rudao.

Niu Fu nodded and said seriously: "The problem he mentioned is indeed a very critical issue. Guanzhong is far from the end. If he had controlled the emperor like Luoyang back then, but lost the motivation to move forward and was addicted to the current pleasure, he would have been better off leading his army to Hedong."

"The general is wise. I advised the Taishi to the end, but the Taishi was too concerned about love and the military discipline must be reiterated. However, everyone is in his heart at this time. If it is too strict, it may be counterproductive." Li Rudao.

"There are too many troops gathered in Chang'an. They should be placed separately as soon as possible. It is difficult to deal with them together. If they are separated, it is easy to act. However, before this, this marquis will have to put a tight hook on them," Niu Fu said seriously.

"Lord, in addition to this, Han, the court guard of the former nine ministers, said that he was mediocre and incompetent, and was too old to say that Cai Yong was in trouble. If it weren't for Yang Biao and the others, the lord wouldn't have known that such an inaction official would be too embarrassing," Jia Xu said sharply.

"Wenyou, give him the title of Guanglu Doctor, let him go back to his hometown to retire." Hearing this, Niu Fu immediately said.

"No" Li Ruyinghou said: "Lord, the court lieutenant, is one of the nine ministers, who is in charge of prison and controls the rewards and punishments in the world. He has a great position. What does the lord mean?"

"Didn't Wenyou guessed it? This marquis is very suitable for Zhong Yao," Niu Fu said with a smile.

Li Ru nodded and said, "But lord, although Zhong Yao is very talented, it is said that he is very close to Yang Biao."

"That depends on his own choice. This marquis gave him an olive branch. Whether he crawled or not depends on himself. In addition, at this time, this marquis does not need his complete loyalty. It is enough for him to do a good job in Chang'an security for this marquis. "Niu Fu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Ru nodded and said, "Then you can go back and draft an imperial edict."

"Yes," Niu Fu nodded.

"Lord" At this time, Hu Chier walked in again and said, "Cai Zhonglang is here to visit."

"Cai Yong" Niu Fu was stunned and shook his head and said, "No need, tell Cai Zhonglang that the affairs of the college are crucial. I hope he can prepare well. If you have any questions, go to the government affairs hall to work with the attendant. The three officials will discuss. This marquis will only be responsible for fighting in all directions and maintain the stability of our great man."

Hu Chier was stunned and said, "No"

"Lord Yingming" heard this, Li Ru and Jia Xu said in admiration.

Niu Fu smiled bitterly, "Who made me not have the reputation of the fourth generation and the three ministers of the family? Don't cause misunderstandings. If the news about Cai Zhonglang coming here was passed to those pedantic people, it would probably be difficult for the college to do it."

"What the lord said is that now the lord is to show respect to the emperor more than anyone else, so that he can gain the support of his old ministers, and to conquer all directions in the name of the emperor." Li Rudao,

Hearing this, Niu Fu slowly stood up and sighed: "The world is too chaotic now. Do you think this marquis can get to that point?"

"The lord values ​​talent and ability, and his martial arts and demeanor are far superior to the Taishi, so he can definitely do it," Li Ru said firmly.

"The lord has the current situation and takes up the treasure land, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. How can there be no failure?" Jia Xu also encouraged.
