After entering the camp, Zuo Feng looked Chen Yuan up and down.
Not to mention, Chen Yuan is really a good person, he is rich and handsome, a handsome young man, and he forgets the world after seeing him.
An obscene light flashed through Zuo Feng's eyes.
Most of these eunuchs, without eggs, would have some perverted thoughts. In addition, Chen Yuan was really handsome, so Zuo Feng couldn't help but have some nasty thoughts.
However, Zuo Feng still prefers small money to beauty.
Therefore, Zuo Feng temporarily suppressed some thoughts and asked Chen Yuan: "Are you here on behalf of Liu Xuande?"
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said, "He is here to make friends with you on behalf of my lord Liu Xuande."
After Zuo Feng said oh, he suddenly asked: "Liu Xuande and I have never been friends and have no kindness. Why should he be friends with me? Besides, he has no merit and no reward. How can I accept it rashly?"
"What your lord said is wrong. My lord Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Your lord is sent by the emperor. My lord should give you all your strength to receive him. A few small gifts are not enough. Secondly, Lu Zhigong is my lord's teacher. He has offended many angels before.
I hope you will bear with me, so I sent you a gift to express my apology." Chen Yuan replied.
After hearing this, Zuo Feng replied: "In that case, I will accept it. I wonder what else you want, sir?"
Chen Yuan thought to himself that what I am waiting for is your words, and then replied: "My lord Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Due to the decline of his family and the loss of his title, he was not included in the genealogy of the royal family. Now that the Yellow Turbans are in rebellion, my lord
I raised an army to respond to the imperial court, and Lord Zongzheng Liu Yu considered me my nephew, so I granted him the title of Cavalry Captain. After many battles, I have made great achievements in battle. Now that I heard that the angel is the emperor's confidant, I have something special to ask for."
Zuo Feng was overjoyed when he heard this. Asking for something means there is money to be made. He immediately asked, "I don't know what you are asking for?"
Chen Yuan looked at Zuo Feng and replied: "My lord wants two things. One is to restore the title of his ancestors, and the other is to be a pastor and guardian of the imperial court and be recognized by the imperial court."
"I wonder who is your lord Liu Bei's ancestor?" Zuo Feng asked.
"My lord is the queen of Lucheng Tinghou Liu Zhen, the son of King Jing Liu Sheng of Zhongshan." Chen Yuan said with a smile when he heard this.
"It turns out that we are members of the Han clan, and this matter is of great importance. Although I wanted to help, but... right... I was powerless." Zuo Feng pretended to be surprised when he heard this.
As soon as Chen Yuan heard this, he knew that Zuo Feng wanted benefits, and immediately replied: "It is really important, so I came to see the angel. My Lord ordered me to send a hundred taels of gold and a box of rare treasures to show my sincerity. It's done.
After that, thank you very much!”
When Zuo Feng heard this, his face burst into laughter, and he immediately said: "This matter is indeed difficult to handle, but I have a way to do it. As long as your Lord is willing, I will return to the capital to express your Lord's wishes to Lord Shichangshi."
Sincerely, I believe this matter will not be difficult to handle."
Chen Yuan laughed when he heard this and said: "Hahaha, as long as I can restore my ancestor's title and serve as the pastor of the imperial court, my lord will be very sincere."
"Okay, that being the case, I will do my best on this matter. If it doesn't work..." Zuo Feng looked at Chen Yuan mid-sentence.
Chen Yuan hurriedly replied: "If it doesn't work, then it's just a friend like you. A little money is nothing. Please pay more attention to my Lord's affairs!"
"Okay, that's it. You can follow me back to Luoyang in a few days!" Zuo Feng said with a smile when he heard this.
"That's good. In that case, I would like to ask Lord Angel to speak kindly to Lu Zhigong in front of the Emperor. Secondly, please take care of our Lord's affairs. It's just a small thing, but it's not respectful." After Chen Yuan said this, he asked someone to carry the box in.
Inside Zuo Feng's tent.
Then he took out a fine Lantian jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Zuo Feng with both hands.
Zuo Feng glanced at it, then reached out to pick up the jade pendant, played with it for a while, and then put it into his sleeve.
He immediately said: "Don't worry, I know how to handle it."
Chen Yuan heard the words and said with a smile: "Thank you so much to the angel. I will surely have a heart to make things happen in the future. This time I will go back to Beijing with Lord Angel to handle the matter."
"Well, this matter needs to be done sooner rather than later. Come with me back to Beijing tomorrow. I'm tired, so you can go down first," Zuo Feng replied after hearing this.
"Okay, in that case, I won't disturb the angel's rest, and I should go back and pack my luggage. Excuse me." After saying this, Chen Yuan bowed and saluted, and then exited Zuo Feng's tent.
Chen Yuan left Zuofeng's camp and went to Liu Bei's camp.
Entering the camp, Liu Bei was exchanging martial arts and military skills with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He was very happy to see Chen Yuan coming in, and quickly brought Chen Yuan together to discuss how to attack Guangzong City.
After Chen Yuan sat down, he said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I just went to see Zuo Feng."
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Fei's eyes widened: "Fourth brother, why are you going to see that eggless thing?"
Chen Yuan rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei and ignored him.
Liu Bei also frowned. Obviously Liu Bei didn't have a good impression of these eunuchs.
After all, these eunuchs have never done anything good.
Chen Yuan explained: "Brother, I know that these eunuchs have low moral character and harm Zhongliang. Logically speaking, I should not go to see him, but for the sake of eldest brother's ambition, Yuan has to go."
Guan Yu suddenly interrupted: "Is it possible that Zichu wants to make good friends with these eunuchs?"
When Guan Yu said this, his eyes were unpredictable, and he was obviously thinking about something.
Chen Yuan shook his head: "What did the second brother say? How could I make friends with them? I just want to use them."
Liu Bei finally spoke: "Fourth brother, could it be that you want to buy an official position?"
Obviously, nowadays, the glorious behavior of selling one's official position and getting a title is known all over the world, and it is these eunuchs who are in charge of this work.
Chen Yuan nodded: "What the eldest brother said is true, I just want to buy an official position and restore the title for the eldest brother."
"What, you actually bought an official position from that eunuch?"
When Liu, Guan, and Zhang heard what Chen Yuan said, their expressions changed.
In the view of the three of them, official positions are public assets of the state, so how can they be bought and sold at will?
The emperor has no control over it, but he must not engage in such shameless behavior of buying an official position.
Chen Yuan had long expected that the three of them would react like this, so he asked them.
"Let me ask you, is your eldest brother a hero?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned and immediately replied: "Of course they are heroes."
"Can the eldest brother be the prefect of a county?"
“Made naturally.”
"Is Brother's merit sufficient?"
"Of course it's enough."
"In that case, why can't you buy a prefect for your eldest brother?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know how to answer these words.
Liu Bei had been frowning, and then suddenly said: "Fourth brother, even so, you are not allowed to buy an official position. If word spreads, how will the world think about it? Ask Liu Xuande?"
Chen Yuan smiled: "Brother is overly worried. I said I was buying an official position, but in fact it is not the case. I just asked these eunuchs not to stop me when awarding eldest brother a reward. With eldest brother's achievements, once the Yellow Turban is pacified, it will be judged based on merit."
If you are rewarded, there will definitely be a place for the eldest brother, and with the support of Lu Gong, Kong Beihai and Liu Zongzheng, the prefect of this place will not be able to escape."
"So, what I bought was not an official position, but an opportunity for those eunuchs not to stop me."
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Liu Bei's expression relaxed a lot.
Liu Bei is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. Since he can avoid damaging his reputation, he doesn't do evil things. Liu Bei doesn't look down on just money.
Even Zhang Fei was a little angry and thought that those eunuchs should not be given money.
Chen Yuan smiled: "Third brother, we can look down on these eunuchs, but we cannot offend them, because they fail more than they succeed. Now that we are weak, we have to do some things."
After hearing what Chen Yuan said, Zhang Fei muttered a few words and stopped talking.
