Chapter 272 Changes in Chang'an
Prefect's Mansion.
Yan Xiang and others stood in the courtyard in groups of three or three, smelling the plum fragrance in the courtyard, and exchanging opinions softly. Sun Ce has not come yet, and they are enjoying a rare leisure time. Although Sun Ce has not officially announced, everyone knows that if Feng Fang returns from Chang'an, there will definitely be major changes in the political situation in Nanyang.
Feng Fang stood in the corner with his eyebrows frowned and did not talk to anyone. He only sighed secretly when he saw Zhou Yu.
The mission to Chang'an was not done well, and he slipped away a good son-in-law. When he saw Cai Yong and Zhou Yu had a happy conversation, he knew that Zhou Yu was going to be Cai Yong's son-in-law. Cai Yong is a well-known famous scholar in the world. The Cai family is the Chenliuwang clan, and it is definitely not comparable to his Feng family. His daughter Feng Wan is beautiful, but in terms of talent and knowledge, Cai Yan can surpass her eight streets, which is not the same level at all.
Without taking self-indulgence, Zhou Yu would definitely marry Cai Yan. This is obvious, and it is only a matter of the end.
A slight difference can lead to a huge loss. If I had not hesitated and decided on this marriage directly, how could such a mistake have occurred? But who would have thought that Yuan Shu would die? Now that Sun Ce is in charge of the government, these old subordinates of Yuan Shu have become decorations, but Zhou Yu has become a well-deserved general.
God is trying to mess with people.
When he returned from his mission this time, Feng Fang was worried about a lot of things, not only did his official duties go well, but his private affairs were not going well. While he was not at home, Feng Wan was not in charge and ran around happily. Not only did he study some looms with Zhang Zifu and others, but he also followed Cai Yong to Xinye. Alas, women who were not married should be honestly hiding in the boudoir, learning to learn from the female red, and reading the female commandments. What do they look like now? Don’t say that Zhou Yu doesn’t like it, no one will look down on it if he changes.
When Feng Fang thought of this, he blamed Zhang Xun and Yan Xiang. Qin Luo and Zhang Zifu from their two families were the ones who pulled Feng Wan to run around. Qin Luo was even more extraordinary and was willing to be a concubine of Huang Zhong. Yan Xiang really didn't even want to be a face in order to make people. Is it worth it to be a mere prefect of Nanyang?
Forget it, the war is about to begin, and Nanyang cannot stay for a long time. Dong Zhuo is dead and Wang Yun is in power, so I'd better go back to Chang'an. No matter what, I was one of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan back then. When the court hired people, it should be able to find a single official position, which is better than staying in Nanyang as Sun Ce's subordinate.
As soon as Feng Fang made up his mind, Sun Ce walked in quickly and bowed to everyone.
"You guys, I've been neglected, I've been neglected."
Everyone gathered to say hello to Sun Ce. Since the time of Yuan Shu, they have been accustomed to Yuan Shu's way of speaking. Sun Ce is similar to Yuan Shu, and there are no rules. They speak casually and can occasionally make a few jokes. Unlike Yuan Shu, Sun Ce rarely loses his temper, and will not always draw his sword to chop people.
Of course, he cut no fewer people than Yuan Shu. In the past few months, he cut more than Yuan Shu cut in his whole life.
Sun Ce came to the hall and enthusiastically invited everyone to take their seats. Looking around, except for Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, everyone here is older than him, and some are even older than his father Sun Jian, so they cannot be neglected.
Feng Fang followed everyone to the hall, and was about to pick an inconspicuous corner to sit in. When Sun Ce saw him, he waved his hand repeatedly. "Feng Jun, come close, come close."
Feng Fang hesitated for a moment, walked up and took a seat at the position designated by Sun Ce, next to Yan Xiang. Looking closely, the seats were actually clearly divided. The old subordinates of Yuan Shu such as Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and others were on the left, and the new subordinates such as Zhou Yu and Du Xi were on the right. Although Yan Xiang was also an old subordinate, he had the real power of the Nanyang Prefect, so he sat on the side with Zhou Yu and others. The position designated by Sun Ce was under Yan Xiang and above Du Xi.
"Jun Feng, when did you leave Chang'an?"
"Early on the second day of the first lunar month." Feng Fang bowed and replied, with thoughtful etiquette.
"Kill Dong Zhuo on the first day of the lunar calendar, and let you go on the second day of the lunar calendar. Wang Yun is very anxious." Sun Ce twisted his fingers and said slowly: "Please tell me the situation in Chang'an."
"Here." Feng Fang looked around, coughed lightly, and talked about the situation in Chang'an.
After Feng Fang arrived in Chang'an, it was not going well. He first paid a visit to Wang Yun. When Wang Yun heard that Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to capture Xiangyang, he drove away Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was very angry and scolded Yuan Shu, saying that Yuan Shu was doing things indiscriminately. Everyone here knew what happened later. Cai Yong, as an envoy, Niu Fu, and Xu Rong, fought to Nanyang and forced Yuan Shu to send him the court. Feng Fang was immediately placed under house arrest in the inn and was not free, so he didn't know the specific process at all, until the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Cao suddenly visited.
Feng Fang was one of the eight lieutenants in Xiyuan and was an old acquaintance with Cao Cao, but he was still surprised to see Cao Cao appear in Chang'an. When he left Nanyang, Cao Cao had already arrived in Nanyang. No matter whether he wins or loses, he could not appear in Chang'an. Feng Fang asked Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not say it, but said that Wang Yun designed and Dong Zhuo had been executed. Now Wang Yun is in charge of the government, and famous scholars are in the court, peace is expected, so Feng Fang is rushing back to Nanyang and advised Sun Ce to submit a letter to the court to show his loyalty and not make mistakes like Yuan Shu again.
It was not until this time that Feng Fang realized that Yuan Shu was dead. Sun Ce defeated Hu Zhen and others and controlled Wuguandao. He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly set off from Chang'an and rushed back to Nanyang.
Before Feng Fang finished speaking, the faces of the people present had changed drastically. Some were secretly happy, some were regretful, and some were worried, some were all.
Sun Ce looked at everyone quietly and had a rough idea. This person's heart is indeed the most difficult thing to figure out. People who can see the general trend of the world are counting, and many people have unrealistic expectations for the court. This is also good. If you are forced to leave, just leave. You can get together and part with you. There is no need to make your face red.
"Cao Cao is in Chang'an?"
"Yes, I can't be wrong with what I saw with my own eyes."
"Where is his position now?"
"General of the Bandits, he is the captain of the Si Li."
"Where is Lu Bu?"
"Lu Bu?" Feng Fang was stunned for a moment and shook his head repeatedly. "This is not clear. Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's adopted son, so he should... die. Even if he doesn't die, it will be difficult to get reused. Oh, by the way, he is also from Bingzhou, so maybe Wang Yun will spare his life."
Sun Ce did not ask about Lu Bu again. Feng Fang had been in Chang'an for so long and had basically not come into contact with any secrets. He just went to be a prisoner.
"When you were in Chang'an, didn't you hear anything related to Xu Rong?"
"No, I only realized that Xu Rong had been defeated by the general when I arrived at Wuguan."
Sun Ce nodded, ended his inquiry to Feng Fang, and turned to look at Yan Xiang. "Yan Jun, although the imperial edict has not arrived yet, it should be soon. What do you think?"
