The 280th chapter said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived
The carriage entered the front hall courtyard of General Wei's Mansion. As soon as Qin Liang got out of the tailgate, a gust of wind hit him. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and stood there for a moment.
I saw the branches and leaves in the courtyard swaying, making a "swishing" sound. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't come down.
Wu Xin had already stepped off the carriage first. The moment Qin Liang paused, he suddenly remembered that Mrs. Lu wanted to see him, so he said to Wu Xin: "Please go out and invite Lu Ning. Doesn't she want to see me?"
Wu Xin responded: "Here."
Qin Liang did not go to the pavilion, but walked along the long corridor on the west side and entered the office where he used to work as a servant. I don't know if he is used to staying in this place, but he seems to feel more stable here.
But thinking about it, when I first served as Cao Shuang's military adviser, I didn't seem to feel stable either.
After waiting for a while, Wu Xin brought Lu Ning over. Lu Ning was seen following Wu Xin, still dressed in mourning clothes. According to the ceremony, she had to wear mourning clothes for three years.
Wu Xin said something, glanced at Lu Ning, left her in the room, then said goodbye and walked out.
Lu Ning suddenly fell to her knees on the ground. As soon as she mentioned that her husband had been killed, she choked up and wiped away tears.
Qin Liang wondered when Lu Ning was willing to touch her in Qinchuan. Her husband was not dead at that time. Is the relationship between her and her husband really that good?
However, according to Zhou etiquette, if someone like a father or husband dies, he should be sad and shed tears when mentioning the deceased. Even his expression is prescribed. Although Lu Ning is a Taoist priest, he still seems to follow the Confucian rules.
No wonder that in later generations, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were integrated.
Lu Ning sobbed: "The general caught the murderer. I finally avenged my late husband. My late husband's spirit in heaven can also be somewhat relieved. The general's kindness will be unforgettable for my whole life."
Qin Liang said: "Xiangu is also kind to me. This matter is just a small effort."
Seeing that Lu Ning was about to salute, he stepped forward and held her arm, "No need to salute, get up quickly."
Lu Ning had no choice but to get up from the ground, and gently pulled her arm out of Qin Liang's hand. She was dressed in mourning clothes, with willow-leaf eyes, and her teary eyes looked pitiful. Her charming eyes were sad, but
It has a unique charm.
She broke away from the physical contact, quickly stopped sobbing, and said softly: "I didn't expect that the general still remembered my concubine's matter, and found out the matter as soon as he arrived in Luoyang. I really don't know how to repay the general's kindness.
"
Qin Liang said: "Xiangu has already thanked you, so don't worry too much."
Lu Ning took out a scroll of slips from her sleeve pocket and handed it back to Qin Liang: "But the file says that Pu Gang only reported on us and killed my husband because he coveted my concubine's beauty? Could it be that he was beaten into submission?
?”
Qin Liang suddenly remembered the serious expression of Henan Yin Fugu. He glanced at Lu Ning's charming willow-leaf eyes and said, "It should be true. The fairy lady doesn't have that kind of stuff on her face, and her appearance is indeed very good. Yes.
It makes sense that the human heart has evil thoughts and desires arise when seeing colors."
Lu Ning raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Liang quickly.
Qin Liang was about to say that he would not be interested in sexual intercourse; but he remembered that he had touched others in Qinling Mountains and had to look at her body in Lujiang County. It seemed that this explanation would have no credibility, so he had to give up.
Although Qin Liang had lust for Lu Ning, he was really not as crazy as Pu Gang. His thoughts about Lu Ning were mainly because she helped him when the Qinling Mountains were short of water and food, and their lives were in danger.
Later, it was because of Fei Yi that Qin Liang kept Lu Ning in his heart.
At first, he wanted to reserve a way out and run to Shuhan if something bad happened. Now Sima Shi probably ran to Shuhan. If he could contact Fei Yi privately through Lu Ning, he could try to see if he could make a deal.
In addition, Lu Ning also gave birth to Empress Dowager Guo. So Qin Liang was willing to help her wherever he could, and it would not be difficult to catch a Taoist priest.
Lu Ning sighed and said: "I have known Pu Gang for a long time, but I didn't expect him to be such a person."
Qin Liang nodded and responded. He had nothing to say. He didn't know Pu Gang, and he didn't care what he was like. There were all kinds of people in the world, and he couldn't understand them all.
Lu Ning added: "I want to see Pu Gang in person and ask him face to face."
Qin Liang hesitated for a moment. He thought that Lu Ning and his wife were Shu Han spies, but their mission was to persuade Qin Liang to defect to Shu Han. At this point, if anyone said that Qin Liang wanted to defect to Shu Han, it would be a joke... spread it out
It can only show that even the Shu Han people know Qin Liang's talent and virtue and want to win over him, which is not a bad thing.
What's more, Qin Liang doesn't have to avoid suspicion at this time, because no one can touch him casually anymore, let alone use this excuse.
After weighing it for a while, Qin Liang nodded and said: "I'll say hello to Henan Yin, and I'll ask someone to take you to visit the prison."
Seeing Qin Liang's hesitation, Lu Ning seemed to be aware of her identity as a spy and asked, "General, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"
Qin Liang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."
At this moment, Huang Yuan walked to the open door and said: "General, Henan Yin Fu wishes to see you."
"Bring him here to meet." Qin Liang said immediately. He then said to Lu Ning with a smile on his face: "Say Cao... Fu Gu, Fu Gu will be here."
After Lu Ning's husband died, her loyalty to Fei Yi should not be compared to Qin Liang. Qin Liang and her had helped each other many times. Qin Liang and Fu Gu would not tell too much secrets.
He arranged for Lu Ning to move to a nearby cabin to continue talking to Lu Ning after meeting Fu Gu.
There is a couch in the small room next to it, and there should be a few bamboo slips there. In the past, after Qin Liang had lunch at Cao Shuang's mansion, he would sometimes take a nap there before returning home early.
Fu Gu came shortly after. He looked around before entering the house. He might be a little surprised to meet here.
Qin Liang came up to him and said, "I'm used to being in this room."
Fu Gu hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to General Wei."
Qin Liang returned the courtesy and said, "Lan Shi, please take a seat."
Fu Gu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was not very happy today and seemed hesitant to speak. Qin Liang thought he was going to mention Pu Gang's arrest, but Fu Gu instead talked about the previous two Henan Yins.
The predecessor of Henan Yin was Li Sheng, who has been killed. Li Sheng's predecessor was Liu Jing, who also came from a noble family, and his father Liu Fu once served as an official in the Han Dynasty.
Fu Gu said something to the effect that Li Sheng was stupid and messed up in Henan Yinren; Liu Jing was also unsatisfactory and made some very complicated rules... Anyway, he was not as good as himself.
Qin Liang listened patiently for a while and suddenly asked: "Is Lan Shi going to be dismissed from office?"
Fu Gu stopped his tirade and said, "The general also knows?"
Qin Liang shook his head and said: "Henan Yin is a very important position. You were promoted by Sima Yi, so it is reasonable for you to leave temporarily."
Fu Gu said: "I heard from Liu Wengong (Liu Jing) that he will come to take over as Henan Yin soon."
Qin Liang said directly: "There is still a position of long history in General Wei's mansion. I wonder if Lan Shi feels condescending?"
Fu Gu was stunned for a moment, his expression a little complicated. He and Qin Liang had just started to interact, and he might not be used to Qin Liang's straightforward style.
Qin Liang hinted again: "I believe Lan Shi has the country and the community at heart, rather than being loyal to private individuals."
Fu Gu looked at Qin Liang, thought for a while, and bowed before saying, "The general is so kind that I dare not refuse, but I would like to inform my family about this matter first. I ask you to reply to the general within three days."
Most of the family members can't care about this kind of thing. Are you going to tell Chen Tai?
Qin Liang did not criticize him, but knelt down at the banquet and returned the courtesy: "I am willing to wait for the good news. It will be a great blessing if I can get Lan Shi to help me."
After the two bowed to each other, Qin Liang asked directly: "Should Chen Xuanbo and Lan Shi get along well?"
Chen Xuanbo is Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, one of Cao Pi's four friends. Fu Gu followed Chen Qun's path when he became an official. His relationship with Chen Tai is certainly unusual. Sima Yi's ability to reuse Fu Gu may also be integrating the forces left by Chen Qun.
.
The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was created by Chen Qun. This system had a bad reputation in later generations, but it was not that bad at the time of Chen Qun. Because the Chaoji System had been completely corrupted and turned into a large-scale show for the gentry, which required
A new system to replace... The new system may not be so perfect, but it is better than having no solution at all.
The previous inspection and examination system was also a plaything of the gentry and wealthy families. Chen Qun's idea was just to return the power of selecting talents to Zhongyang. But later, the Sima family kept intervening and transferred the power of local criticism to the gentry in order to win over the gentry.
heart of.
Xia Houxuan agreed with Chen Qun's idea, and had a quarrel with the Sima family during Cao Shuang's period, until Xia Houxuan went to the local area to become the governor. However, Chen Qun's son Chen Tai seemed not interested in the career of selecting officials, and did not see him having any problems.
Have you ever read any relevant articles or comments?
Fu Gu said: "I have known Uncle Xuan for many years."
Qin Liang asked again: "How talented and virtuous is Chen Xuanbo?"
Fu Gu thought for a while and said: "Although Uncle Xuan is on good terms with Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, he does not like disputes. He is an honest official, strict and disciplined, capable and concise."
Qin Liang immediately said: "When the opportunity is right, I hope Lan Shi will recommend me."
Fu Gu said: "The servant then went to visit Uncle Xuan."
Qin Liang didn't know Chen Tai at all. He only knew that when Luoyang was defeated, Chen Tai went out to see Cao Shuang and persuaded him to surrender. However, Chen Tai made a lot of friends because of Chen Qun's relationship.
When Fu Gu followed Cao Shuang, he dared to say bad things about He Yan. Now he said good things about Chen Tai without any shame. Maybe it was not completely nonsense. Chen Tai might really have some skills.
The two talked for a while, and then Fu Gu stood up and left.
Qin Liang sent him to the door and then mentioned: "I have to thank Lan Shi for the arrest and trial of Taoist priest Pu Gang."
Fu Gu said: "It's just a matter of duty."
Qin Liang asked again: "I am also entrusted by others. Can Lan Shi be visited in prison?"
Fu Gu said: "I asked him to come as soon as possible. When I retire from Henan Yin, I can no longer agree rashly."
The two bowed to each other again, and Fu Gu said, "General, please stay."
Qin Liang called Huang Yuan and sent Fu Gu out of the house.
