[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

"Zhongxuan and Wenxing are not on duty today?"

Sima Zhi's exam results last year were "excellent", second only to Du Ji, who was listed as "best" in the exam results. Like Han Ji and Du Xi, he should be promoted in theory.Wang Lang intended to manage the Sili, so he transferred all the three officials with the most outstanding political achievements under his rule to his side, and only waited for the Sili to be wiped out, and directly let the three take office to save time.This time to welcome the emperor into Luo, the task of repairing Luoyang Palace was handed over to Han Ji, and Du Ji and him had not yet received specific appointments, so they were in a semi-idle state.

Seeing Wang Can and Pei Qian coming to his tent hand in hand, Sima Zhi was slightly surprised.Wang Can was often taken by Wang Lang's side, and Pei Qian was a busy man who participated in military affairs, how did he get together to visit him today?

"The general stays with Zhong Yuanchang and Dong Gongren to discuss matters tonight. Wen Xing and I met on the way, so we come to you to steal some leisure."

Wang Can took out the only reed mat in the room and sat down, and asked Pei Qian to sit with him.Both he and Pei Qian are of the type who are free-spirited and do not practice meticulously, but Sima Zhi has strict family education and is known for adhering to etiquette and conduct. The three of them can get along harmoniously and have an irreversible relationship. This makes Wang Can still sigh with emotion. The world is wonderful and unexpected.

"The general was promoted to Zhennan, and Liu Mu was promoted to the general of Wei. They both had holidays and founding houses. There were a lot of affairs in them. I have no experience. Only Xun Gongda can help me with the details. Now with the help of Zhong and Dong, the general finally Can be a little easier."

Pei Qian took the conversation and briefly talked about what happened in Luoyang City.Zhong is Zhong Yao, and Dong is Dong Zhao. One is in the court and is a close minister of the emperor, and the other is a counselor under Zhang Yang, who has the most soldiers and horses around the emperor. Wang Lang was able to welcome the emperor in Luoyang.Moreover, Zhong Yao is 44 this year and Dong Zhao is 39, which is the appropriate age for entering the center and taking power in the eyes of the ancients, and they are even too young.

Like Guo Jia, Zhao Yan, Du Xi and others, Wang Lang is very handy, but he is too young to enter the center.In fact, this is also a measure of the ancients to protect talents. If you ascend to a high position too early, if you make a contribution later, how should you reward it?

The level of court games is too high, but Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao have some experience, because they were all conscripted by the great general He Jin, and Wang Lang is only surrounded by Xun You, who once served as a servant of the Huangmen and was released by the court. The prefect of Shu County is a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones, and the rest have no experience in court games at all.The courtiers like Zhong Yao and Dong Zhao who have been dealing with the public, officials and officials for a long time are exactly what Wang Lang lacks and needs.

"Both father and daughter open a mansion?"

This was the first time Simazhi had heard the news.

"That's right." Pei Qian nodded and smiled again, "Liu Mu is in charge of the military affairs of the four prefectures of Sili, Jing, Yi, and Jiao, and the general is also the captain of Sili."

The Pei family was born with beauties, and most of the descendants of the direct line are handsome and handsome, with skin as white as jade. At the end of the Han Dynasty, they were not as famous as the Xun family, who was equally beautiful. In the Western Jin Dynasty, they won the first place together with the Langya Wang family. It is that these two families each have eight outstanding talents, which are comparable to each other.

Pei Hui, Pei Qian's first brother, had a very famous son, Pei Kai, who was hailed as a "Jade Man" by the people of the Western Jin Dynasty. Even if you take off the crown, wear coarse clothes, and uncomb your hair, you are still as beautiful as jade.

Although Pei Qian didn't have the outstanding demeanor and appearance of his nephew Pei Kai, with a smile on his face, he could still make people feel like the jade light was shining on him, filling the room with brilliance.

Wang Can's news is better than him, and he knew these things long ago. He joked to the two with a smile:

"When they were more than twenty years old, they wore a bronze seal and black ribbon. Wen Xing and Zihua have returned to their hometowns this time."

The Sima family is the surname in Hanoi. The most famous among the younger generation is one of Sima Bada and Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang, but Sima Zhi is not known to everyone.Only Yang Jun, a famous scholar in Hanoi, after meeting the brothers of the Sima family, first commented on Sima Yi: "This is not an ordinary person!" Then he commented on Sima Zhi: "Although Sima Zhi's reputation is not as good as Sima Lang's, in fact he has the ability to govern. But only stronger than him."

The Pei family is also the surname of Hedong. Pei Qian's father, Pei Mao, was an official in the Han Dynasty. However, Pei Qian was born of a concubine and had no uncle to rely on. days were difficult.

Now because of following Wang Lang, both of them became officials with a rank of six hundred stones in their twenties, and their reputation gradually spread outside the state.This time Wang Lang welcomed Luoyang, the son of heaven, and was appointed as the captain of Sili. Both Hedong and Hanoi were under her jurisdiction and restraint.

Pei Qian smiled and said nothing.He has no resentment towards his father and his younger brothers, nor does he feel elated. Instead, he thinks more about how to improve the relationship between father and son, and how to work hard to make progress so as not to shame the clan.

Sima Zhi has always looked down on fame and wealth, and directly turned the topic to the direction he cares about:

"I heard that the governor of Hedong, Wang Wendu, is very good at governing the county, and he is loved by the officials and people. I wonder if Du Bohou will be the governor of Hanoi?"

Zhang Yang, the former prefect of Hanoi, was good friends with Lv Bu. He heard that Cao Cao was besieging Lv Bu, but he couldn't rescue Lv Bu, so he sent troops to Dongshi, and he was killed by Yang Chou, who led Zhang Yang's troops to join Wang Lang. At that time, the post of Hanoi prefect was temporarily taken over by Dong Zhao. [1]

Sima Zhi is from Wen County, Hanoi, and he is very concerned about what kind of parent officer his hometown can get.The best situation is of course that Du Ji will take over. Although Du Ji was not well-known at first, after being promoted by Wang Lang to be the prefect of Shu County, his test scores were listed as "best" for two consecutive years, and he became famous all over the world. As a well-known official of governance, Du Ji was trusted and valued by Wang Lang. If Du Ji served as the prefect of Hanoi, it showed that Wang Lang valued the land of Hanoi, and all kinds of material subsidies would be allocated to Hanoi first.

"Probably not Du Bohou." Pei Qian shook his head. He was the most politically sensitive of the three. Sima Zhi didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the high-level game, but he was always paying attention. After thinking about it, he replied, "The general once said If you want to make the world strong, you must have a strong heart. I think the general intends to enrich Guanzhong, and it is very likely that Du Bohou will be transferred to Guanzhong as Jing Zhaoyin, and Wang Wendu will be replaced as the governor of Hedong."

Wang Can was surprised: "Hedong governor?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Yuan Shao wants to contact Han Sui and Ma Teng forces in Kansai, and Hedong County is a must. Although Wang Fujun has political achievements, he is not the general's confidant. How can the general entrust the important place in Hedong? Du Bohou is good at governance The local area will definitely win the hearts of the people in Hedong, and if he is assigned to govern the river, the king must have nothing to say."

Sima Zhi instinctively disliked these court battles, and frowned slightly.

Pei Qian actually envied his simplicity, he only cared about the common people, and never cared about the intrigue among high-level officials, but this is the way of being a local official, not the way of governing the world.Especially in the troubled times where every minute and second counts, only with a high degree of power concentration can the world be overwhelmed and injustice cleared at the fastest speed.Therefore, he could understand Wang Lang's approach very well, and thought that this was already the most benevolent method among the princes at present, but Sima Zhi would not listen to these words, otherwise he would not be Sima Zhi.

After hesitating for a while, Pei Qian still wanted to say something nice for Wang Lang:

"No matter what, the people in Hedong will always benefit, and the general will not arrange for a mediocre person to go to Hanoi. Hua can rest assured."

Wang Can smiled, and said: "How can there be mediocrity under the general? You Sima Zihua, please rest assured. Let me tell you an interesting story that has been circulated in Luoyang City recently. Han Gong repaired the Luoyang Palace, and the general personally I made a plan, the plan was extremely ingenious, and made the best use of manpower and material resources, and then guess what happened?"

"how?"

"At that time, everyone passed on the general's plan, and all thought it was ingenious. Only Xun Gongda dismissed it. The general felt very strange, so he asked him the reason, and Xun Gongda replied: "In the past, Wei Wenhou and Tian Zifang were drinking and heard the chime bells playing out of harmony. Tian Zifang admonished this, saying that it is enough for a Mingjun to know how to appoint music officials, and it is not necessary to understand music. Now that the monarch is proficient in music, I am worried that you have neglected the appointment of music officials. Now, General, you have appointed Han Gong to be in charge of repairing Luo Yanggong, if you think Han Gong can't fulfill his duties, you should choose another more suitable official. Why do you want to interfere with the affairs of your subordinates yourself?"

The general replied: 'I know my mistake, and I won't make it again.But this plan has already been designed, and it would be a pity to waste it in vain, so it can be implemented this time. '

Xun Gongda said: "Following the general's plan can temporarily save manpower and time, but it will destroy the long-lasting laws and rules.If officials, big and small, learn from generals, overstepping their own powers and interfering in other people's affairs, even the most powerful country will perish. Isn't this something worthy of vigilance?So I don't think you know your mistake yet, General. '

The general replied: 'You are right. ’ So he broke the bamboo slips that he had written and planned in public, and ordered to reward Xun Gong with ten pieces of silk and a plate of gold cakes. "[2]

All courtiers love to hear the stories of their masters humbly accepting their words and admonishing them relentlessly, even a clean and upright official like Sima Zhi is no exception.After Wang Can finished speaking, Sima Zhi's usually stern face couldn't help showing a bit of softness, and his voice was low: "I also know that the general is the lord of the United Kingdom, otherwise how could he serve under the general's command. Zhongxuan and Wen Xing are too worried." gone."

Pei Qian's focus fell on Xun You's remonstrance.

Break laws and rules?It sounds like it means something...

"By the way, Dong Gongren is the uncle of his sister-in-law, and Zihua and Dong Gongren are in-laws. How about Dong Gongren?"

Suddenly remembering that Sima Zhi's wife was Dong Zhao's niece, Wang Can casually made a sound.

Sima Zhi always only accused others of their faults in front of him, and never spoke ill of others behind his back. At this moment, he frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Scrutinizing the current situation is his specialty, and the others don't know."

That is the meaning of outstanding talent and poor virtue.

Both Pei Qian and Wang Can are familiar with his character. Hearing what he said, they have a general understanding of Dong Zhao's general situation.Looking at each other with Wang Can, Pei Qian smiled and said, "No wonder the general is reluctant to let him go, and he wants to talk all night. This is exactly the type that the general needs urgently."

In fact, Dong Zhao’s meaning to Wang Lang is far more than adapting to changing situations. He is as simple as a strategist. Three days later, Dong Zhao met Wang Lang alone in the hall that was temporarily used as the school captain of Sili. trick.
