Chapter 172 Zhang Rang recommends Cao Cao
Seeing these gifts, Zhang Rang finally relaxed and said, "This is not difficult to say, but these external things can't make me trust you, Lord. You still have to do something for me!"
Jian Yong didn't expect Zhang Rang to be so difficult to deal with, so he worshiped with some anxiety in his heart, "Please give me your instructions!"
Zhang Rang nodded and said, "You will go to the General's Mansion tomorrow...so, so, do you understand?"
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Jian Yong's forehead. If he did this, Ma Qiang would be hated by the nobles and He Jin.
Zhang Rang saw Jian Yong hesitating and said with a smile, "If you don't want to, just take these things and go back to see Ma Qiang, or you can go find He Jin yourself and see if he can help you."
That certainly won't help!
Who is Ma Qiang? To put it bluntly, he is not even from a humble family. He Jin is almost wearing the same pants as the nobles now. Seeing that the position of Youzhou governor is vacant, how can he let Ma Qiang temporarily take over? Moreover, Youzhou Yellow Turban is in ordinary
What may be a monster in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of He Jin and others, this is military merit!
Jian Yong recalled what Shi Ying said when he left. It is impossible to have two boats in the court. Since you have chosen the path of ten permanent servants, you must go to the end, as long as it does not harm the people or violate morality.
, you can do other things.
Jian Yong took a breath and said, "I understand, little man! I will definitely satisfy Chang Shi!"
——Deyang Palace Two Days Later
Deyang Hall is the South Palace Hall of the Eastern Han Dynasty Imperial Palace. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people and is extremely majestic. There is a poem to prove it:
At this time, a court discussion was taking place in the Deyang Hall, the main purpose of which was who would assist Changshe in the future.
"Changshe is located in the middle of the war, on the side of Luoyang. Its position is too important to be added. The person who leads the army must be a general who is good at conquering and fighting, a brave and wise man. The minister recommended Huang Wan, Huang Ziyan, who has the talent to manage chaos.
, can take on this important task!”
It was Yang Ci who spoke. In the Yellow Turban War, the Yang family lost its upper hand, and its status in the court and the noble family was already weaker than that of the Yuan family. He must introduce his disciples and old officials to win a cup in this war.
soup.
Huang Wan is a direct descendant of the Huang family in Anlu, Jiangxia. The Huang family in Anlu has also been an official for generations. Huang Wan's great-grandfather was Huang Xiang, who was the "fan pillow and warm quilt" in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety. His official position was Shangshuling, and his grandfather Huang Qiong was an official.
Going forward, the Huang family should have three generations and three sons. Unfortunately, Huang Wan's father died early, which caused him to lose support in the court. He was banned from the party and imprisoned for nearly twenty years. Only this time he got the opportunity, and was given by Yang Ci.
Recommended as Yilang.
Liu Hong looked at Huang Wan and nodded slightly. The Yuan family had made too much profit this time, and they really needed to balance it.
Liu Hong asked He Jin, "What do you think, General?"
And He Jin already knew that Yang Ci was going to recommend Huang Wan this time, so he stepped forward and said, "Huang Yilang is a famous minister, so he can take on this important task."
As soon as he said this, Huang Wan became angry. He was a very resolute person. Sikong Shengyun teased him when he was young, saying, "Jiangxia is a big country, but the barbarians are many and the scholars are few." Huang Wan was angry.
He said, "The barbarians are cunning, Sikong is to blame." Then he rolled up his sleeves and walked away, not to mention that he could not make any progress.
"What does the general mean by this? Do you think that I only rely on the shadow of my ancestors but have no ability? Your Majesty, I would like to issue a military order. I will not defeat the traitor army when I go here, and I will not return home until I die!"
He Jin was so frightened that he shrank his head, "What the hell, am I complimenting you? Why are you so angry? You're crazy!"
Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. He Jin hangs out with these nobles every day. Now you know how difficult they are.
At this time, Zhang Rang smiled and said from the side, "Your Majesty, it seems that the general has different opinions. There is also a candidate for the minister. I wonder what the general thinks?"
Huh? What does this eunuch want to do?
Many noble ministers below immediately became alert.
Some of the ministers who were branded as the Ten Permanent Attendants became excited, My Permanent Attendant, are you finally going to speak?
Liu Hong was also a little surprised. He looked at Zhang Rang, nodded and said with a smile, "My father has not made any suggestions for me for many days. I am still a little disappointed. I can just say it."
Hearing the words "Father", the eyes of the group of nobles and ministers below were filled with anger. We regard you as a king's father. If you call this eunuch "Father", what should we call this eunuch? "Grandpa"?
"Wei ministers recommend Cao Cao and Cao Mengde as the ministers!"
Cao Cao, who was dozing down below, was suddenly awakened. Last night, his father Cao Song didn't know what happened, so he took him to a drink. While drinking, he shed tears and said, "I can only help you get here."
, you have to be more careful outside, and if you can't, come back. Dad will help you carry everything. He was confused and asked Cao Song, but Cao Song refused to tell him, so he couldn't sleep well all night.
"Cao Mengde?" Liu Hong looked down. Cao Cao quickly stood up and came out of the queue to say, "I'm here!"
What's going on? Does this damn bastard want to harm me?
Cao Cao felt that the eyes of countless people around him were looking at him, and he was about to be exposed, especially Yang Ci, who looked like I knew you were not a good person. He was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat Zhang Rang.
You recommend me! Let you recommend me!
"Cao Yilang is quick-witted and alert. He is just the talent he needs to lead troops to rescue Changshe." Zhang Rang sighed and said, "Speaking of which, Cao Yilang had some misunderstandings with the old minister in the past, but for your majesty, the old minister had no choice but to go outside."
There is no way to avoid revenge."
"You're just trying to avoid getting married!" Everyone secretly complained below.
"Well, what do you think, General?" Liu Hong found that Cao Cao was a better candidate, with a good background and good abilities. Moreover, the gentry clan was so popular now that he really needed to give some hope to the officials who belonged to the ten permanent servants.
Of course He Jin wanted to say no, but he heard Yuan Shao cough behind him. He looked back and saw Yuan Shao nodding slightly, thinking for a while...he didn't understand.
Forget it, Yuan Shao is a smart man. If he said it was okay, it should be okay.
He Jin has great confidence in his own brain and Yuan Shao's brain!
He Jin immediately bowed and said, "I think Cao Yilang is also a suitable candidate!"
Although Liu Hong was a little dissatisfied with He Jin and Xini, he still nodded and said, "Well, let the young people do this matter of leading the troops to fight. Cao Yilang, I will appoint you as the Cavalry Commander and lead five thousand troops.
We will send troops to Changshe today! Huang Yilang, please be patient and don't be impatient. I will be put to great use in the future!"
"Wei ministers accept the order!" Cao Cao and Huang Wan responded in unison and retreated.
The rank of Cavalry Captain was two thousand shi, so he was naturally promoted higher than Yilang who was 600 shi.
Cao Cao was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that he finally had a place to be useful, but he was worried that now, his efforts to get closer to the gentry for so many years were in vain.
Huang Wan, who was standing next to him, returned to his seat and glared at Cao Cao fiercely, making a mental note of this matter.
Cao Cao naturally felt Huang Wan's resentment, and could only lament that he had offended a big boss inexplicably.
He is indeed a big boss. As long as nothing unexpected happens, Huang Wan will be able to become at least a Jiu Qing in the future, and the chances of becoming a Third Duke are also very high.
Zhang Rang won the round, his mouth slightly curved, he looked at each other and the other ten constant servants beside him, and nodded slightly.
Zhang Rang had already figured out what Liu Hong was thinking at this time.
As the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army fell into a confrontation, Liu Hong also came out of the doomsday panic created by the gentry and officials at the beginning.
When Liu Hong came back to his senses and looked at the court again, he found that not only had he lost the most important military power, but he had also almost completely lost his right to speak in the court. Liu Hong was now eager to regain his power.
Without the power in hand, Liu Hong felt uneasy while swimming naked.
