Chapter 22 Showing Loyalty

After hearing Huangfusong's refusal, Zhang Ming didn't mention it again, because he knew that Huangfusong would not accept him as a disciple. After all, his identity was the emperor, even if he was a puppet emperor. He said that he would not take advantage of the loneliness of the big man to ask for half a penny.

What's more, in this era ruled by aristocratic families, how much public opinion pressure does a general have to bear to become the emperor's teacher, and the pens of scholars all over the world can write him to death.

Zhang Ming thought for a while, and said apologetically, "Aiqing, I was indeed a little impulsive just now, and I apologize to you for my actions just now."

As he spoke, Zhang Ming bowed his head towards Huangfusong.

Huangfusong, as a loyal minister of the great man, naturally couldn't bear the emperor's apology, so Huangfusong quickly put down the chess pieces in his hand, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, don't care. Although the old minister can't be your majesty's teacher, the old minister also saw that your majesty I want the sincerity of being a teacher, so if His Majesty needs an old official in the future, the old official will definitely do it for His Majesty."

Zhang Ming did not expect that there would be new gains in this apprenticeship. He really only planned to apprentice at the beginning. After all, being able to learn the skills of fighting from Wumiao 72 Zhe will be of great benefit to him in ruling the world in the future. He did not expect Huangfusong to express his loyalty directly. , which greatly exceeded Zhang Ming's expectations.

Zhang Ming originally planned to get to know Huangfusong very well before mentioning related matters, but he didn't expect that it has been less than a month since he played chess with Huangfusong, and Huangfusong took the initiative to express his loyalty to the army and patriotism.

However, although the plan has been completed ahead of schedule, Zhang Ming has no intention of ending the game with Huangfusong. He is not a person who takes advantage of it and behaves. He plans to continue to consolidate his relationship with Huangfusong.

I saw Zhang Ming say, "Aiqing, I know your loyalty and patriotism."

"Let's keep playing chess"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ming started to pick up the chess pieces again. This time, Zhang Ming planned to play a good game.

In this round, Zhang Ming played really comfortably.

He was finally able to have a good game with Huangfusong without any psychological burden. From the first game, Zhang Ming had always had a special purpose, so he never really played chess with Huangfusong with all his heart.

After the chess game was over, Zhang Ming walked back. Apart from Cui Ming, there were also some eunuchs and maids serving him. Of course, Zhang Ming also knew that there were some Dong Zhuo's people watching him in various places.

Although Chang'an's palace is smaller than Luoyang's, it still takes about a quarter of an hour to walk from the Qi Peng to his bedroom, Weiyang Palace.

After finishing Huangfusong, Zhang Ming decided to sleep comfortably. During this period of time, playing chess with Huangfusong exhausted all his brain cells.

Dong Zhuo hadn't returned to Chang'an Palace for a long time now, so the guards in the palace had to deal with very few things, so that Zhang Ming was not used to it.

You must know that the huge imperial palace is deserted. Even the Gaomen Hall specially set up by Zhang Ming has various places for entertainment, but the rules in the palace are very strict. Even with Zhang Ming’s permission, many eunuchs and maids are still very Restrained, dare not let go.

And the most important thing is that people in this era have basically never read books, especially the eunuchs and maids in the palace. I don't know each other, and there is almost no need to communicate except to hear some gossip from their ears every time.

So Zhang Ming's main communication partner every time is Cui Ming.

In fact, Cui Ming had never studied, and was sent to the palace when he was very young, and he had been a eunuch in the palace for more than 20 years.

But Cui Ming was very good at dealing with the world, and Zhang Ming asked Cui Ming directly about many things that Zhang Ming didn't understand, especially in terms of how to behave.

Although Cui Ming would be flattered every time he asked for advice, how could the eunuch not satisfy the emperor's request, so Zhang Ming learned a lot of principles of life from Cui Ming.

After Dong Zhuo left Chang'an Palace for a long time, Zhang Ming was no longer as self-willed and reckless as before. After all, what he did before was to perform for Dong Zhuo, and now he didn't need to perform so vigorously.

A full half month has passed like this, and it is now the end of October in 190. During this period of time, Dong Zhuo has not come back once, and he probably forgot about playing in Meiwu.

If Dong Zhuo did not return to Chang'an, naturally he would not hold a court meeting.

Zhang Ming also kept in touch with Wang Yun. Of course, he mainly asked about Dong Zhuo's current situation, such as where Dong Zhuo was, what he did, where his subordinates were, and what they did.

Zhang Ming also asked Wang Yun to place people in Meiwu because he was planning to implement a chain plan soon. Zhang Ming didn't know who these people were, only Wang Yun knew. In short, the current relationship between Dong Zhuo and Zhang Ming Messages are transparent.

But in the past few days, I heard that Dong Zhuo continued to rob beauties and teenagers in Chang'an and other places. This is only a month since Dong Zhuo's first large-scale robbing.

The people in Chang'an City, especially the beautiful women in their families, have already begun to try to move out, but even the guards in Chang'an are Dong Zhuo's people, so it is very difficult to escape.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo not only recruited beauties, but also continued to expand the Wuwu. This time, he not only built more courtyard rooms, but also placed beauties in each room for his enjoyment.

He even built a city wall around Meiwu, which was as high as the Chang'an city wall. In order to build the city wall, Dong Zhuo enslaved 10,000+ peasants.

If there were no such products as electric lights in this era, it is estimated that these peasants would not even have a chance to rest at night.

In short, the news Zhang Ming got was that the entire city wall was more like the corpses of civilian husbands piled up. In this era, human life is as cheap as grass.

But if so, the news of the Eighteenth Route princes may not have been heard for a long time, but I heard that after Sun Jian got the jade seal, he fled back to Jiangdong at the last speed, but he was intercepted and killed by Liu Biao's army on the way, and Sun Jian unfortunately died in the chaos Among the arrows.

Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, came to the throne.

I heard that after Sun Ce returned Sun Jian's body, he greeted the coffin, fought with Liu Biao and returned to Jiangdong, and buried Sun Jian in the land of Qu'a. From then on, Sun Ce stationed his army in Jiangdu City, and he himself recruited talents. In short, handsome heroes from all over the world have defected to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's power has greatly increased.

Zhang Ming asked Huangfusong, and found out that the Jiangdong area is still barren, and the floods and droughts every year are enough for the people of Jiangdong to toss for a long time. Thinking that the prosperous Jiangnan area has not been well developed in the future, Zhang Ming can only sigh with emotion, After all, he lived in the Jiangnan area in his previous life.
