"Weighing is in hand, and the mirror is on the stage; it can destroy evil and assist righteousness, and it can eliminate falsehood and preserve truth." [Continued Lamp Record]

Meng Da chewed Zhou Yu's generous words carefully, but he really did not associate the young man, who was more like a scholar, with a military commander. In fact, both he and Taishi Ci had some complaints about Zhou Yu being selected as Yulin Lang.

, but they are not as irrational as Zhang Xiu. They can't shirk it anyway, so why don't they simply accept it openly? Even if the other party has no talent, getting to know one more high-ranking disciple will open up more opportunities in the future.

Zhang Xiu is very smart in other areas, but he can't figure it out on this matter, and he doesn't know why.

It doesn't matter whether Tai Shi Ci is born out of nature or has the same thoughts as Meng Da. At this moment, Meng Da's idea is to get closer to Zhou Yu, a son of a noble family.

Meng Da raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu. He had an outstanding appearance and did not look like a flashy person. After thinking about it, Meng Da and Tai Shi Ci brought Zhou Yu into the check-in room and exchanged a few words. Zhou Yu's outstanding conversation and

Meng Da and others were greatly surprised by his unrestrained and unrestrained demeanor.

"Is this Zhang Xiu's temperament always like this?" After getting acquainted with the two, Zhou Yu asked: "I heard that this man was also a hero in Wuwei back then?"

"There is such a story." Meng Da couldn't help but clasped his hands and nodded and said: "In Bianzhang, Han Sui gathered a crowd in Liangzhou to cause chaos, and Zhang Xiu served as Zu Li's Changzheng. Jincheng Qu won and killed Zu Li Chang, and Zhang Xiu became the

To avenge Shangguan, he waited for an opportunity to assassinate Qu Sheng, and later recruited the young man to become a hero in the city."

Before Zhou Yu could say anything, Meng Da suddenly glanced at Tai Shi Ci and said with a smile: "Zi Yi also worked for Shangguan back then, and he did not hesitate to risk his own life, destroying the impeachment seal issued by the state government to the court, and finally avoiding trouble in Liaodong. So.

Speaking of which, it is consistent with Zhang Xiu's actions of killing thieves to avenge Shangguan."

Taishi Ci once campaigned for the county government and wrote a memorial to Cao Cao. Once, there was a conflict between the prefect and the governor of the state. It was difficult to distinguish the right and wrong, so they each submitted to the court for arbitration based on their own circumstances. Such impeachment memorials, each of which had different opinions, often failed.

The one who arrived before the emperor first would have a preemptive advantage. At that time, it was the prefecture's impeachment first. The county governor was worried that he would lose the opportunity, so he sent Taishi Ci to Luoyang at night. After arriving in Luoyang, Taishi Ci

First, he caught up with the official sent by the state government, tore up the impeachment before he could deliver it, and even persuaded the other party to run away together to avoid disaster.

Legally speaking, Taishi Ci's move was intentional destruction of official documents and he should be jailed. However, from the legal perspective at the time, Taishi Ci had fulfilled the duty of "eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor" between him and the prefect.

This morality was what the scholars at that time respected.

Zhou Yu heard this with interest and said, "I didn't expect Ziyi to be so brave and resourceful!"

Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Perhaps it is because of this that Zhang Wencai is willing to make friends with me."

This sentence seemed to remind Zhou Yu, and his smile suddenly dropped by half, and he asked: "This person doesn't have many friends in Yulin Prison?"

"That's not true." Meng Da took a gulp of a bowl of water and said, "This man has a bold personality. He has gathered a group of friends among Gozen Yubayashiro and Tiger Benro. If we are close, we treat him like a brother. As for his treatment of me, he is a bit plain.

Already."

This was a bit contradictory. Zhou Yu was silent, holding the tea bowl in his hand, wondering what he was thinking about.

Seeing that Zhou Yu seemed to be very interested in Zhang Xiu, Meng Dal happily continued: "He became a Yulin Lang earlier than me. His uncle was General Anji. Pingzhun Jia Gong treated him like his own son and nephew, and even

The country also appreciates him very much. I remember that the country went on a hunting trip to Shanglinyuan last year. A deer was released by the country. The country offered a reward for everyone to hunt it down. In the end, it was hunted by this man and he was given a carved bow used by the country. If it were not for his uncle, this man would

I’m afraid he’s been released a long time ago as a school captain or a captain.”

This is somewhat contradictory.

According to Meng Da, Zhang Xiu avenged Shangguan and treated them as "lords and ministers", which was righteousness; shooting an elk from a group of forbidden troops was brave. In addition, he seemed to treat his colleagues around him differently.

, he chooses friends with a purpose, which can be described as "wisdom".

But I don’t know why he did this. If it’s because of his temperament, it’s hard to explain.

Regarding the personnel structure of the court, Zhou Yu had been informed by Zhou Zhong in the first few days after arriving in Chang'an, but it only involved a few major figures. Even Zhou Zhong himself did not pay much attention to Zhang Xiu, and even Zhou Zhong himself did not pay much attention to Zhang Xiu.

Let alone informing Zhou Yu. Without covering everything, Zhou Yu could only figure it out on his own when he understood the overall situation.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu asked: "Is this person on good terms with Mr. Jia, the prisoner of Pingzhun?"

Taishi Ci interrupted and said: "General Anji and Duke Jia worked together in the army, and they are both from Wuwei County and Township, so they naturally get along well with each other."

A bright light suddenly flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he pursed his lips and smiled for no apparent reason.

Meng Da glanced at Zhou Yu in surprise, and couldn't help but recall what he had just said, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Taishi Ci also frowned. He didn't know what the two men were thinking. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of being rude.

At this time, two people walked in from outside the duty room, followed by Zhang Xiu. The person walking in front had a thin face and sharp eyes. He was also wearing Yulin clothes, but his standards were much higher than those of Zhou Yu and others.

Zhou Yu and others stood up one after another, clasped their fists and saluted, "I have seen Supervisor Deng."

Yulin Supervisor Deng Fei was a branch of the Deng family in Nanyang and was a guard of Huben. When the emperor was assassinated in Luli, he ran outside the city in a very short time to invite reinforcements from the Northern Army, and the crisis was resolved. Later, with the help of his escort

Due to his meritorious service, Deng Fei was repeatedly promoted. After the Southern Army and Lang Wei were separated, he became the supervisor of Yulin.

Deng Fei, who cherished his words like gold, simply glanced at Zhou Yu and others and said: "The country is out of the city for a military parade, and you are ready to accompany it."

"Military parade?" Taishi Ci was surprised and said honestly: "Why didn't you see the edict beforehand?"

Deng Fei glanced at Tai Shici, said nothing, turned around and prepared to leave.

But Meng Da was alert and moved forward to Deng Fei's side. He stretched out his hand to support Deng Fei's arm and said with a smile: "This matter is too unforeseen. If we are ignorant, how can we get things done? Hopefully.

It’s up to Supervisor Deng to give me some advice.”

Deng Fei stiffly broke away his hand, and then turned around. For some reason, his stiff face softened a little, and he spoke more: "The country has said that this is called surprise. If it is informed in advance, he will

You will make plans if you wait, but if you wait, it will be meaningless."

"I see, if Supervisor Deng hadn't told him, how could we have understood the holy will?" Meng Da fully inherited his father Meng's tact in dealing with people, and said a few nice words to Deng Fei, which was very useful to him.

Zhou Yu had a clear view of the actions between Meng Da and Deng Fei, and followed the others out without saying anything.

The emperor's sudden review of the army was unexpected by the generals, but they were not surprised for long, and quickly reacted and cooperated with the action. In addition to the Northern and Southern Army, the review targets also included Wang Bin, the general of the Guard.

Fang and other generals from Liangzhou and Pingdi General Ma Teng were in Beijing.

During the review process, many issues such as cooperation and tacit understanding arose. The emperor specially summoned all the generals to give a unified lecture, and followed last year's practice of questioning the generals individually on their tactics of war.
