Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty - Chapter 902
When Cao Bin met Zhang, he couldn’t see clearly through a curtain, and Zhang’s voice was a little choked in the cold and warm questions. >≧≯
At the beginning, Cao Bin thought it was the joy and emotion of his family’s long-awaited reunion. But then I think about it, although Concubine Zhang is his mother’s relatives, she rarely meets before, and she really can’t talk about the deep affection; she has no elders’ love and care, because Zhang is younger than Cao Bin!
Then her sorrow may stem from the sentimentality of court life. In the deep palace, how easy is it to be happy, even if it is rich in clothes and food?
Cao Bin sympathized, but it didn’t help. So he saved time to think about his own business, and persuaded: “The previous dynasty has gone. When today we have a kindness to our family, the queen treats her aunt well, and her aunt must not betray the queen’s kindness.”
Meeting at the Jinxiangdian, there were eyes and ears everywhere, and Cao Bin doubted the secretiveness of the meeting. Therefore, his words are relatively obscure, and I hope Zhang Clan can understand… Since Zhang Clan can now have a place in the royal family and see the emperor and queen, then don’t think about the previous dynasty, just look at the present. Seize the opportunity now.
Cao Bin hoped that Zhang could find the opportunity to say something to his nephew, especially when it comes to the selection of the official candidate. This is a relationship of mutual assistance. If Cao Bin has a position in the outer court, the Zhang clan will have more weight in the palace; on the contrary, if the Zhang clan is in the palace with Fuhou, etc., it will also promote the relationship between Cao Bin and the royal family.
At this time, Zhang’s voice didn’t choke, and his tone became very calm: “I am a person who knows the gratitude. I heard that my nephew is going to the south, and you have to do your best for the official. I have nothing to do. So, my sister’s son is just like my son. I hope you will build new merits and glorify the lintel, and I can be proud of my nephew in the palace.”
Cao Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and understood that Zhang would understand with just a single tap.
He was very filial again to persuade the auntie to rest her body, and the two of them told each other, Cao Bin quit.
After leaving Daqing Gate, Cao Bin met the privy envoy Wang Pu at an intersection, and hurriedly went up to greet him politely. Wang Pu casually tweaked and said: “The qualified generals in the Forbidden Army have all sealed the National Duke. Now the position of the Protector is General Cao. As long as he returns to Beijing from Jiaozhi, everything will be settled.”
Cao Bin didn’t expect Wang Pu to be so direct, a little caught off guard, and humbly said: “Zhen’an Army is a handsome general, loyal and courageous, seniority is older than me.”
Wang Pu sneered: “Wang Pu has a good relationship with Xiang Gong, but he wants to help Xiang Gong; General Cao seems to have come to the fore because of Xiang Gong’s recommendation. You seem to be kind to you…”
Cao Bin said: “During the battle of Shu, I followed Xiang Jieshuai on the North Road, and I had to appreciate Jieshuai during the battle of Jianmen. Only then can I recommend it to the officials.”
Wang Pu said indifferently: “However, both the officials and the court have always emphasized tangible military merits and achievements, and Xiang Gongshi has not many outstanding achievements. If the officials rely on old friendship, it is difficult to convince the public.”
After hearing this, Cao Bin said again: “Hedong Army Commander General Yang has courage and strategy. He has defended the frontiers for the country for many years. Not long ago, he lured the Liao army into the Yanmen. He won a big victory and won, which greatly weakened the national power of Liao , Has made great achievements.”
Wang Pu said without modification: “Yang Ye is just a general. He is responsible for the siege of Yanmen, but he cannot be counted as a single person. Moreover, Yang Ye’s military merits are compared to Cao Shuai’s presiding over the guard system. The great work of Nan Han and Jiaozhi is a little bit worse.”
In addition to Yang Ye, Dong Zunzheng also had military merits in the encirclement of Yanmen Gate. Dong Zunzheng also had amazing merits during the Northern Expedition of Youyun. However, Cao Bin didn’t mention Dong Zun’s advice on thinking about it. After all, he was too young, and his uncle Gao Huaide was the Duke of the Country. If he becomes the Duke of the Country again, it seems too powerful.
Cao Bin changed his words now: “Thank you Wang Shijun for his beautiful words.”
Wang Pu waved his hand and said: “The old man is not just a truthful statement. General Cao is sure to win, as long as the Jiao Chi affairs are done well.”
He said, “The old man gets back to his yamen value, General Cao, there will be a period later.”
“Farewell.” Cao Bin bowed.
…… At Zhang Jiankui’s house in Tokyo, Yu Liang came to the door and said: “Congratulations!”
Zhang Jiankui touched the black beard of his chin, wondering: “What’s the matter with Deputy Commander Yu Hexi?”
Yu Liang dragged Zhang Jiankui to the wall a little eagerly and mysteriously, whispering: “Commander Zhang Du is the person named by Cao Gong (Cao Bin). It is very important to appreciate him. Cao Gong will be conferred the title this time. How can you treat General Zhang badly?”
Zhang Jiankui smiled and said, “You are only a deputy commander. You even know who the court is going to appoint you?”
Yu Liang said: “The position of Lord Protector, besides Cao, who else can there be?”
Zhang Jiankui pondered for a moment, then said: “Let’s go to the house for a few drinks.”
Yu Liang hurriedly clasped his fists and said: “General Zhang invited, it is better to be respectful as the final general.”
The two entered the hall, made a few stacks of vegetables, and talked while drinking. After Yu Liang raised his head and drank a glass of wine, he owed and said, “I heard from my brother who served in the Guangnan Guardsman that Jiaozhou Nanban is just a bunch of uncivilized savages. In the past, the Han army walked from the 6th road, high mountains and deep forests. It’s not easy; but this time, Cao Gong attacked from the sea, Jiaozhou’s eldest land, the Red River Basin and Mapingchuan, what did the Jiaozhou soldiers use to resist the army?”
Zhang Jiankui nodded and said: “It makes sense. Among our gang of generals, Deputy Commander Yu is a knowledgeable person. The ink in his stomach is not useless.”
Yu Liang said with a smile: “Thanks to the awards. From the perspective of the general, this time, Cao Gong was sent by Jiaozhou. He was originally to sit back and receive his military merits. When he was sealed, he would be more convinced.”
Yu Liang said that after he brought up the hip flask, he poured out the wine for Zhang Jiankui in a flattering appearance: “General Zhang is going south this time, can you bring the last one?”
Zhang Jiankui said: “I am a general of the Forbidden Army, and General Yu belongs to the Guards. I am afraid it is not easy to do this time.”
Yu Liang said anxiously: “Gong Cao thought of General Zhang, because he wanted General Zhang to repair the fort. Anyway, if he stayed in the fort, the guards are still useful.” He thought about it and said, “General Zhang is here now. There is no one around to check and fill up the vacancies, reminding that advice is not enough.”
Zhang Jiankui said after hearing this: “I will try my best to arrange it.”
Yu Liang had a very harmonious conversation at Zhang Jiankui’s house, and did not leave until the evening.
He was born in Zhang’s family, and when he was leading the road past the Red Ying Mansion, he suddenly heard someone speaking in a Hedong accent beside the carriage outside the door. I couldn’t help but take a closer look at the carriage. Although the color was not very bright, the wood was of good quality. Yu Liang almost concluded that Yang Ye had entered Beijing and lived in the Orioles Mansion!
Although Yu Liang and the Orioles have not had much contact, there was a love relationship, and seeing this scene, my heart was mixed.
He had to leave here silently.
……
The night is gradually falling, and the day is about to end. But for some court ladies, this is the beginning.
In the Hall of Long Live, Guo Shao sits on a yellow pear tree and feels very complicated. In front of him stood nearly a hundred women, all wearing very transparent clothes, waiting for the emperor’s luck with complex expressions.
A while ago, two officials played in succession. They used the famous saying about the harem that was worried about the country’s society. They believed that the emperor should not be favored by himself, and that the royal family should have more princes to stabilize the country. It is also recommended that the palace follow the Tang Dynasty system to enrich the number of concubines.
Guo Shao really only had two princes, and he was born in a small family, with almost no clan; in the face of the risk of the country’s society, the emperor’s personal feelings and preferences are obviously irrelevant. The two queens could not argue with such a memorial, so they had to let the emperor choose the “Royal Wife”. So there is the situation in front of you.
Guo Shao is now going to temporarily select nine out of so many people to wait for tonight, and these nine people will be sealed in the “Royal Wife”.
He looked a little dazzled. After the Five Dynasties and the Daxu dynasty, folk customs and service tended to be more restrained than the Tang dynasty. There are very few folks in such dresses, but the court is completely different from the folks. Especially in the current occasions, the palace people try their best to let themselves Show more, more seductive|confusing. Most of them wore tank-collar linings, no one wore stand-up collars and cross-collar clothes at all, and the outer dresses were mostly silk yarn.
Guo Shao Guanzhi, the front row of women have blushing faces, and they look embarrassed in public, but they peek at Guo Shao from time to time, with anticipation between them.
According to what I said before, Guo Shao can only choose nine people tonight. Seeing them all look forward to it, Guo Shao is a little bit troubled. He habitually doesn’t want to see others disappointed.
Guo Shao just sat here, just like women, a little embarrassed. But he quickly calmed down. How could the emperor act as if he had never seen the world before others?
He stood up, and as soon as he walked down, a woman in front of him immediately bowed her knees | exclaimed: “Your Majesty…”
Soon everyone followed suit and saluted, hoping to get Guo Shao’s attention. When everyone was squatting, only one woman stood upright, blushing and looking at Guo Shao…If you want to stand out, you have to be different. This person will take a different approach and do the opposite.
People who know how to fight for, at least have an independent personality, are not boring playthings, and are smart and well-behaved.
Guo Shao pointed to the two people: “You all come here~www.mtlnovel.com~ The two blushed and said: “Thank you, Your Majesty. “
For a while, some people quietly looked at them with contempt and disgust. They all held their breath, waiting for the remaining opportunities.
But Guo Shao has taken a few steps and has roughly seen everyone. Most of them hadn’t reacted yet, and Guo Shao kept pointing to some people. Soon there were nine people.
At this time, the **** Wang Zhong walked in and said, “Other people, come with the miscellaneous family.”
The women went out silently with their heads down and their disappointments and regrets.
Guo Shao returned to Yuta, took a deep breath in secret, and calmly said: “You all come here.”
“Hey…” Nine women responded and walked carefully, some of them blushed like pig liver, and others were nervous and shy to walk unstable. These women are unmanned girls, and most of them can’t calm down when they come to Zhenzhen. 8
