"Master Zhao Wei, who is engaged in governing the country, has arrived!"
As the sergeants outside the door sang loudly in the distance, the hall of Yizhou Governor's Mansion, which was still having a lively discussion, suddenly fell silent. After a while, a thin middle-aged man wearing official robes appeared.
Step by step, he walked in and scanned the hall. All the officials in the hall saluted the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was very satisfied with this, smiled faintly, and continued to move towards the hall with his head held high.
Walking into the hall. As a person working in Yizhou, although he is not the highest-ranking official in Yizhou, Zhao Wei's status in Yizhou's officialdom is unquestionable!
Of course, not everyone is so friendly. Among the generals on the left side of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing light armor sitting at the top looked at Zhao Wei indifferently and closed his eyes.
Eyes. Zhao Wei is not surprised at all by this. If one day the other party becomes intimate with him, Zhao Wei will have to be careful! This is all because the other party is Zhao Wei's only rival in Yizhou. Yizhou
Bing Cao is engaged in Jia Long!
Speaking of Jia Long, he can be regarded as a legendary figure in Yizhou! Jia Long, who was born in an ancient family in Yizhou, was originally a scholar. When he was under the former Yizhou governor Que Jian, he served as Zhao Wei's current position.
He held the post of governing the country and engaging in history. After the Ma Xiang Rebellion broke out, Jia Long resolutely abandoned his writing and joined the army, leading Yizhou officers and soldiers to suppress the rebels! It was in this war that Jia Long showed his
With extraordinary combat command ability, he suppressed nearly 100,000 rebels with thousands of Yizhou troops! Afterwards, Liu Yan entered Sichuan, thinking of Jia Long's achievements in quelling the rebellion, and specially appointed Jia Long as the Yizhou Soldier Cao and took charge.
Yizhou soldiers and horses!
But unexpectedly, after a few years, Liu Yan seemed to have forgotten Jia Long's achievements back then, and began to slowly favor Dong Fu and Zhao Wei who followed him into Sichuan. Although Jia Long held military power, Liu Yan
Yan also supported the confrontation between Dongzhou soldiers and Jia Long. As the power of Dongzhou soldiers became more and more powerful, Jia Long's faction was forced to retreat step by step. If it were not for the fact that Jia Long's faction, the Yizhou family, was
Yizhou still has a lot of influence, I'm afraid Jia Long has been killed by Zhao Wei and others!
But even so, Jia Long had no intention of compromising with Zhao Wei and always insisted on his own beliefs. So after Zhao Wei came in just now, Jia Long and a few diehard members of his faction had no intention of Zhao Wei.
So good, even several generals who followed Jia Long through life and death almost wanted to take action!
"Hmph!" Zhao Wei didn't bother to pay attention to these people who didn't know how to praise him. He walked directly to the top of the row of civil servants and sat down! Dong Fu, who was the county magistrate of Yizhou at the time, was seriously ill and had not been alive for several months.
He showed up, so now Zhao Wei has the highest official position, so he naturally takes this position!
"Master Zhao, do you know that the Lord summoned us here in such a hurry to discuss something?" Seeing Zhao Wei sit down, a civil servant next to Zhao Wei immediately stepped forward and asked, just looking at his face,
It seems that most of them talked to Zhao Wei out of the intention of currying favor. This civil servant was actually the Hucao Shi of Yizhou, named Zhang Xiu, and he was naturally from Zhao Wei's faction.
Zhao Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know about this matter, but in these years, this is the first time that the lord has summoned so many people to the Governor's Mansion for discussion. I think it shouldn't be a small matter! When the lord comes later, we will naturally
You will know!"
I thought Zhao Wei would know something, but I didn't expect that Zhao Wei had no answer. Not only Zhang Xiu, but also most of the people present had disappointed expressions on their faces. Sitting opposite Zhao Wei, he was closing his eyes to rest.
Jia Long was unmoved. Behind Jia Long, the young general Lingbao who followed Jia Long to quell the chaos also came behind Jia Long and asked quietly: "General! Look..."
Jia Long did not open his eyes, but hummed in a very low voice: "Don't ask! Wait!"
Zhao Wei didn't know, and Jia Long didn't answer directly. Now all the Yizhou civil and military officials in the hall were a little uneasy! What kind of big event had happened? Everyone suddenly felt like a storm was coming.
!
Just when the atmosphere in the hall became unusually depressing, the sergeant guarding outside the hall suddenly shouted loudly: "Master Dong Fu, the county magistrate, is here!"
"What?" The whole hall was in an uproar! Why did Dong Fu come here? You know, even before he got sick, Dong Fu rarely took care of anything and left government affairs directly to Zhao Wei.
The military affairs were handed over to Jia Long, who has been studying Confucian classics at home. After he became seriously ill this time, the door of the palace was closed tightly, and no visitors were seen. Unexpectedly, he came to the Governor's Mansion this time! Whether it was the head of the civil servants
Zhao Wei and Jia Long, who was also the leader of the military generals, had gloomy faces at the moment. Even Dong Fu was alarmed. It seemed that this matter was really not a big deal!
Soon, Dong Fu, who had white hair and a bent body, walked tremblingly to the door of the hall with the support of his servants. As soon as they saw Dong Fu really coming, everyone stood up and stepped forward, saluting Dong Fu.
Jia Long is no exception. Even though Jia Long and Dong Fu are two hostile factions, Dong Fu was a world-famous Confucian scholar before he followed Liu Yan back to Xichuan! Although Jia Long has become a military commander now, he was a famous scholar back then.
He is also a disciple of a saint, and he respects Dong Fu very much! And Zhao Wei hurriedly ordered his servants to move their seats. Since Dong Fu is here, the seat of the first civil servant must naturally be reserved for Dong Fu.
!
After all, Dong Fu was too old. After returning gifts to everyone, his face became paler and paler, and he even couldn't help coughing. At this time, Jia Long also walked to Dong Fu's side and faced Dong Fu.
He just clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "I have seen Mr. Dong at last!"
Dong Fu narrowed his eyes, slowly stopped coughing, stared at Jia Long for a long time, and then said with a smile: "It's General Jia! General Jia, don't be too polite! I haven't gone to the official residence to handle matters for many days. These things
It's all thanks to General Jia that Yizhou's military affairs are not in ruins! Speaking of which, I should be the one to thank General Jia!"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Jia Long hurriedly bowed to Dong Fu. After being polite, Jia Long returned to his seat. In any case, he and Dong Fu were not in the same boat after all, and it would not be safe to be too close.
Okay. After Dong Fu returned the greetings one by one, he slowly walked to the seat Zhao Wei gave him with the help of his servants.
Zhao Wei leaned forward and said to Dong Fu, "Master Dong! Please take a seat!"
Dong Fu was equally polite to Zhao Wei, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you are so polite! I'm so rude!" After saying that, he bowed his hands to Zhao Wei and sat down. From the perspective of others, Dong Fu treated him very well.
The attitudes of Jia Long and Zhao Wei are basically the same. It is impossible to tell that Dong Fu is on the same side as Zhao Wei. Just his impartiality shows that although Dong Fu is old, his mind is not rusty.
!
After Dong Fu sat down, everyone also sat back in their original positions. Now no one dared to say anything. They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do. However, not long after Dong Fu sat down, like
Something was involved, and he started coughing again. Finally, the servant was smarter and served Dong Fu a cup of hot tea. After Dong Fu drank the tea, he gradually stopped coughing and felt relieved.
In this regard, Zhao Wei and Jia Long secretly speculated in their hearts at this moment that Dong Fu was so ill that he was even invited over by Liu Yan. What on earth happened?
Before they could figure out the reason, Liu Yan finally arrived! Amid the sergeant's shouts, Liu Yan strode into the hall, and the people in the hall, including Dong Fu, all
He stood up, clasped his fists towards Liu Yan and shouted: "See you, my lord!"
Liu Yan is now in his sixties, but he is still in good health. Apart from the gray hair on his temples, his eyes are bright and his waist is straight. He is still as energetic as a man in his forties. Then Dong Fuhe
Liu Yan is about the same age, but their physical conditions are completely different!
However, Liu Yan's face looked very bad at this moment. His face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes flashed with anger from time to time, and the thick breath blowing out of his nostrils disturbed his neatly combed beard.
Yes! And the frail young man following Liu Yan is Liu Yan’s only son Liu Hao who is with him now. Liu Yan gave birth to four sons, the eldest son Liu Fan, the second son Liu Dan and the youngest son Liu Zhang.
They all stayed with the emperor in Chang'an. Only the third son, Liu Mao, was weak and sick, so Liu Yan took him with him to Xichuan.
Now that even Liu Hao has come out, almost all the officials in Chengdu who can move to the stage have arrived. Liu Hao followed Liu Yan into the hall, but sat directly under Zhao Hao.
, which caused the officials to panic for a while. But Liu Yan ignored his son and went straight to the main seat. He just nodded to the respected Dong Fu as a greeting, and then sat down.
, waved his hands to everyone and shouted: "Okay! Everyone, sit down!"
With Liu Yan's words, everyone dared to sit down. But after everyone sat down, Liu Yan sat there with a gloomy face, not saying a word, and Liu Yan didn't speak, so naturally the officials didn't dare
As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire hall became eerily quiet. You could even hear everyone's breathing clearly!
After a long time, Liu Yan took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said: "I believe you have already guessed that something big has happened in Yizhou now! Yes! The news I received yesterday, three
A few days ago, Kui Pass, located east of Yizhou, was attacked by Jingzhou soldiers and horses! Now Kui Pass has been lost!"
