The banquet in the general's mansion was grand and lively, but it was called the reception banquet and there were many guests, so it was not convenient for everyone to congratulate Cao Shuang in a hurry.
As soon as the banquet was over, Linghuyu took his officials and saw off the guests by the gate tower. Linghuyu really got along with Zhongming, and he said a few more words when he said goodbye to Zhongming.
With only one person left in the front hall, everyone could no longer hold back and congratulated Cao Shuang on his victory. Cao Shuang, who was in charge, had a fleshy face that was almost broken from laughter. Among those who congratulated him, Chang Shi Linghu Yu was naturally not to be outdone.
People are at a disadvantage.
But the great Sinong Huanfan, with withered hair and unimpressive appearance, gave Cao Shuang a ladle of cold water: "Not long ago, the military power of the Commander-in-Chief Jing Yu was inexplicably taken away. Now that he has been given the position of leading general, it is just for us."
Why should the general be so happy about the compensation?"
The laughter in the hall gradually died down.
Everyone was speechless to refute, because what Huan Fan said was the truth. This year in the Battle of Fancheng between the Wei Army and the Wu Army in Jingzhou, the Wei Dynasty clearly won the battle, but Xia Houru, the governor of Jingzhou, was stripped of his military power. It was inexplicable.
Not too much.
Huan Fan seemed to feel that this ladle of cold water was not exciting enough, and added: "After Jing Yu lost his military power, the Taifu Mansion strongly recommended Wang Chang to be the governor of Jing Yu, and further wooed Wang Chang. After Wang Chang left Qingxu, he took over
Hu Zhi is a fellow countryman of Jiang Ji, and he became an official only because of Jiang Ji's kindness. After one action, we will lose our money!"
The hall gradually became quiet. Huan Fan looked back and said: "Now all the princes are only focusing on the affairs of the leading generals, but they have ignored the Taifu's proposal to supervise the army and attack the Wu soldiers in Wancheng. What does this mean? I think this is the case.
This is a demonstration! How many of the governors from all over the world are loyal to the General’s Office? This is also a mockery! There is military information at the border, but the General’s Office cannot use troops to repel the enemy.”
"Chi." A slight sound came from the tip of the tongue. The sound was very small, but very close to Linghuyu. Linghuyu followed the sound and saw Deng Yang, the minister.
Deng Yang was a famous general in the Han Dynasty, and he already held the position of minister at a young age. He had a fair face and a beard, and was quite handsome. However, his pale face and slightly bored expression should be symptoms of excessive sexual desire. Deng Yang
Cong was famous for his astringent desires. In order to seduce his friend's aunt, he traded his official position with someone on the condition that his friend would give him his father's concubine. This incident was spread throughout Luoyang.
The sidelong glance at Huan Fan, with a slightly disdainful smile. The free and easy manner with loose clothes and loose belt, is the unruly appearance of an aristocratic family. The slightly world-weary demeanor is just like the burp after seeing the prosperity of the world.
Descendants of a wealthy family who are tired of playing with women and men may easily end up like this.
Deng Yang opened his mouth and said: "All the elites of our Wei Dynasty are in the Chinese and foreign armies. Now that the general's office holds the power of the Chinese and foreign armies, with the success of one battle, why worry about not being able to establish a reputation in the world?"
His friend Li Sheng immediately agreed, and many people followed suit.
...Unexpectedly, Qin Liang's casual remarks at the banquet attracted the dancing girl to come to express her gratitude. From Linghu Yu's mouth, the girl learned what happened that day and found out that Qin Liang lived in the Wang family.
He belongs to the general, so it was Linghuyu's idea to arrange the girl for Guanqiu Jian.
The incident had little to do with Qin Liang at first, but the girl's fate was completely different, and it was indeed because Qin Liang thought about the problem from her point of view. Therefore, the girl was born in the general's palace, and the person who was grateful was Qin Liang.
The girl's original name was Yang, then she was named Hongying after entering the General's Mansion, and now her name is Yang Ying.
She was ready to come and say thank you, so Qin Liang decided to be a good person and gave her a box of small gold cakes as a dowry. Being a concubine was also a marriage.
Guanqiu Jian was one of the most important figures in the Wei Kingdom, and his status was quite special. Qin Liang told Yang Ying not to come again in the future, not to exchange letters, and to live a good life with General Guanqiu.
Yang Ying came here out of gratitude, but she got another dowry. What happened was obviously beyond her expectation. She probably was buzzing when she left. Maybe in such a world, she could still sigh that there are still good people in the world. Doa.
Not long after, the New Year was approaching, and Qin Liang became even busier and did not care about when Guanqiu Jian would leave Beijing and return to Youzhou.
Qin Liang borrowed a large sum of money from Wang Guang. Although Wang Guang said that he did not need to pay it back, Qin Liang still promised to pay back His Highness's salt-making reward when it arrived. After all, he said it was a loan. If he didn't pay it back, Qin Liang would directly ask for it. After all, they are considered family members.
Then Qin Liang sent gifts everywhere. The gift included a carp with a ruler script containing blessing words in its belly. After all, Qin Liang was a scholar, so the details that should be elegant should be elegant.
Cao Shuang, Sun Li, Linghu Yu, Chen An, even Gao Rou, Lu Xun, Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Zhang Huan and other people who were not close friends all prepared gifts. Most of the time, Qin Liang came to give gifts in person. We could still exchange a few words, but we didn't stay to eat.
Just as Qin Liang lamented when he left Huainan, spending time and energy on human relationships sometimes has nothing to do with the depth of friendship. Life is like this. Everyone has their own things to do and the most realistic things to face. As long as we no longer If there is profit cooperation, there will probably be no opportunity to go all the way just for that little bit of emotion.
Returning to the Qin family yard in Lejin, Qin Liang asked Wang Kang and Rao Dashan to move down a large wooden box and called them to the upper room.
Although the two of them have official positions in the school affairs office, their work is not much different from before. They mainly manage the Qin family's affairs.
Especially Rao Dashan, after he became a warrior, his biggest role was to scare people. He was tall, strong and very strong. He put on official uniform, hung a seal and ribbon, and hung an epee, and followed Qin Liang. He is very scary to be around. But everyone who knows him knows that Rao Dashan is a good guy.
Qin Liang put the box on the ground and opened it, pointing to the sack inside and saying, "It's almost the New Year's Eve. This bag contains the things I give to your family."
Wang Kang said hurriedly: "I have received my salary and have prepared things for my family. It costs a lot for you to move around the officialdom, so you don't have to spend time with your family for the time being..."
Qin Liang was too lazy to listen to his useless words, so he interrupted Wang Kang and said, "Sichuan brocade is a gift from my wife to my sister-in-law, and the rest is what I brought to my eldest brother. After you return to Pingyuan County for reunion, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month Just come back before now."
Rao Dashan said: "I am returning home in fine clothes this time, and I don't know how many people want to treat me to a drink."
Qin Liang glanced at Rao Dashan: "You are not like Wang Kang, who knows how to read and write, and is meticulous in doing things. You must at least practice martial arts. Otherwise, if you get an official position in the future, you will not dare to do anything bad to you."
Rao Dashan stood there with an embarrassed look on his face.
Wang Kang said: "If you want a future, listen to Qin Jun's advice."
