When Qin Liang was still in Chang'an, he went to Yongliang Governor's Mansion and met with Cao Shuang and others. In fact, Cao Shuang and others had already recognized Qin Liang's contribution at that time. Later, when Qin Liang returned to Luoyang, the princes in the court also praised him a lot.
.
In addition, Master Sima made a promise last year, which probably means that as long as Qin Liang doesn't talk nonsense, there is a chance that he can bring military merit to the scene, and the title of prefect plus general is very stable.
Therefore, there is basically no resistance for Qin Liang to be the governor this time. The only question is, can he be the governor of Lujiang County?
Qin Liang tried his best to do everything he could, and did not ignore anyone who was helpful.
As expected, Cao Shuang's people in Chang'an had already commended many people, including Guo Huai and Sima Zhao. Among them, Guo Huai was given the treatment of "Fake Festival Yue".
If anyone is reported, he can be beheaded first and then reported, and the person can be executed directly.
In July, Cao Shuang returned to Luoyang, immediately promoted some more people, and promised Linghu Yu the governorship of Yanzhou and Li Sheng the governorship of Jingzhou.
Cao Shuang probably followed Zhuge Dan's letter asking for merit and Xia Houxuan's suggestion, and promoted Wen Qin to the rank of fourth-grade city gate captain in charge of garrisoning in various gates in Luoyang.
But the final result on Qin Liang's matter has not yet been heard.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to court, Qin Liang came to the courtyard outside Taiji Hall early to wait. When he saw Linghuyu, he stepped forward to pay tribute and inquire about the inside story.
Linghuyu said: "Things are a little twisty. After leaving the palace for a while, Zhongming gets in my car and we will talk in detail."
Qin Liang couldn't help but be impatient, and said calmly: "My cousin, let's give a brief summary."
Linghuyu nodded and said: "General, I am very happy. Xiahou Xuan said this in Chang'an, saying that since there is a public holiday in Yangzhou (Zhuge's birthday), it is better to transfer Wen Qin.
The general returned to Luoyang not long ago. How could I not say good things to Zhong Ming? I also said to the general that many people have been promoted, and Zhong Ming has also worked hard in Qinchuan. Why not let Zhong Ming take over as the governor of Lujiang County?
If you serve as an official under my uncle, you can also get some protection."
Qin Liang's mood was very complicated. It sounded like everything was going smoothly at the moment, but Linghuyu had said beforehand that "there would be twists and turns." He remained silent and waited for Linghuyu to continue speaking.
Someone passed by on the road, and the two of them would occasionally bow in return and interrupt the conversation for a while. However, Qin Liang and Linghu Yu were some distance away from the road and were not very familiar people, so they ignored them.
Linghuyu whispered: "The general agreed immediately. Ding Mi was also in the front hall at that time, and seemed unwilling to agree; but because the general had already listened to Xia Houxuan's words, he wanted to transfer Wen Qin, and Zhong Mingming had made great contributions.
I also came forward to mention this matter, but Ding Mi remained silent. So the matter was settled.
I wrote the memorial, and after showing it to the general, he sent it to the Zhongshu Province. Unexpectedly, Zhongshu disapproved of it and asked me to reconsider."
Qin Liang stared and said, "Why?"
Linghuyu thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Have Zhong Ming had any issues with Sun Zi?"
Qin Liang said: "I have never dealt with him. I only met him in the east hall. No one recommended him, and I didn't even talk to him." He immediately whispered, "This matter may not have much to do with Sun Zi.
, but what the Sima family meant."
Linghuyu nodded and said, "It should be."
Qin Liang suddenly became angry and thought to himself: I'm going to bully you, Master Asima! When you did bad things, I didn't say much, and now you, father and son, are specifically trying to make things difficult for me?
Linghu Yu said: "I'll ask the general to come forward in person later to see if things can turn around."
Qin Liang nodded, bowed and said, "My cousin helped me a lot."
Linghuyu returned the favor and slapped Qin Liang's arm, "What kind words can our uncle and nephew have to say?"
The two of them didn't have time to say much, so they walked into the east hall together. Cao Shuang, Sima Yi and others were all late.
When Sima Yi and his son came in, Qin Liang and others still bowed to him. Sima Shi specially bowed his hands and bowed to Qin Liang in return. The Yin man was indeed polite on the surface, like a horse's dung skin.
Soon the Queen Mother and the Emperor came to their seats, and the ministers were still paying attention as before. Qin Liang stood at the back and listened as usual. He suddenly felt that the court meeting was a bit boring. Only when the Queen Mother Guo spoke briefly did it seem to have some meaning. At least Queen Mother Guo's voice is nice.
...After the court meeting, Queen Mother Guo returned to Lingzhi Palace to rest, and heard that Mrs. Zhen was in the palace. Mrs. Zhen had not been here for a while recently.
Empress Dowager Guo only took off many accessories on her body without changing her clothes. She was still wearing autumn white silkworm clothes, and then came to the attic of Ganoderma Palace and waited for the Zhen family. The two sat together and first talked about some anecdotes about Luoyang. .
After everyone left, Mrs. Zhen quickly talked about Qin Zhongming, "He asked me to come to the palace and wanted to ask my sister to give him a few words. He wants to be the governor of Lujiang County."
Empress Dowager Guo responded and said angrily: "Zhongming had military merit in the battle against Shu. He will be rewarded now. The General's Office will ask for merit for him. It is appropriate for him to be appointed as the county guard. I know this."
Zhen Shi glanced at Queen Mother Guo, "It's not easy for me to see him anyway, and I don't want him to leave the capital, but I can't help it. Alas, I must tell my sister what he said, and I can't hide it from her. "
She paused and said thoughtfully: "Zhong Ming must really want to be the governor of Lujiang County. In order for me to say good things in front of my sister, he did everything for me."
After hearing Zhen's hint, she did everything. Queen Mother Guo naturally realized it immediately. As soon as Zhen reminded her, she immediately recalled various touches, temperatures, and feelings that she had recalled many times.
Queen Mother Guo remembered that she was leaning on the couch with the curtain hanging. Because neither of them spoke at first, Queen Mother Guo thought that he did not know His Highness's identity yet, so she did not show her face. She again thought of the imperial doctor's method of diagnosing the pulse, and With such an embarrassed posture, Queen Mother Guo's face immediately turned pale, and the collar of her autumn white silk clothes heaved with her breathing.
She took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Zhen speechless. It was okay not to mention it, but when Mrs. Zhen mentioned it, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Zhen said solemnly: "Zhongming said that as long as His Highness helps him this time, he will remember his kindness for the rest of his life. No matter how excessive His Highness's demands are in the future, he will sincerely sacrifice his life in return."
When Queen Mother Guo heard this, she immediately looked sideways and paid attention to it. She thought for a while and said, "Wang Ling is in Yangzhou, maybe this is the reason."
Mrs. Zhen nodded and said, "Maybe. I think Zhong Ming is a man who knows how to repay kindness. Why don't you try to help him?"
Empress Dowager Guo said: "As long as he opens his mouth, of course I will try my best. This kind of thing mainly depends on the wishes of the general and the Taifu. However, he said in public that he would not hesitate to live for the great Wei State. I would like to express my attitude accordingly. no problem."
Having said this, Queen Mother Guo slowly stood up from the banquet. She walked back and forth in the spacious hall for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "In that case, I have an idea." She waved her hand gently. .
Mrs. Zhen bowed her head and came over, and Queen Mother Guo whispered something in her ear.
"Uncle, sworn brother, they seem to have a very good relationship with the Taifu Mansion. Do you really want to do this?" Zhen said in a serious voice.
Empress Dowager Guo bit her red lips gently with her teeth, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes brightened a bit, "If what he said means that he is willing to sacrifice his life in return, I will help him this time. If it still doesn't work, then I will
There is really no other way.”
Zhen thought for a while and finally nodded gently: "Sister, make up your mind."
