Hearing the word "copper stink", Zhang Wen's whole face turned purple with anger. Could it be that after Fu Xie said Cui Lie, you still wanted to say, "Behead the Taiwei, and the world will be safe."
Seeing Fu Xie's unwillingness to give in, Tao Qian, who was friends with him, quickly stood up and stopped him from talking. He smoothed things over and said, "What Governor Fu said is reasonable, and what Lord Zhijinwu Yuan said is also reasonable.
What if we don’t submit it to the Emperor, and the Emperor will decide whether it’s merit or demerit?”
At this moment, Fu Xie had been appointed as the prefect of Hanyang due to his merit. Although Zhang Wen was a captain and a general of chariots and cavalry, he was not qualified to handle the rights of the prefect without authorization. He snorted coldly: "Gongzu, your words are reasonable. I just want to go to the palace."
In order to express my gratitude to the emperor, I appointed General Zhu as the governor of Jincheng and also as the guardian of the Qiang school."
He stopped talking, looked at Fu Xie coldly and said, "As for you Fu Xie, I will go to the Emperor to punish you for slandering the minister."
Indeed, although everyone could see that Zhang Wen and Yuan Pang were targeting Zhu Kui, they never said it explicitly.
"I'm just waiting for you!" Fu Xie said, ignoring Tao Qian's pull, turned around and left with a long stride.
Seeing Fu Xie leaving, Zhang Wen turned around with a smile on his face and said to Zhu Kui: "Half a month ago, the prefect of Anding reported that the summer grain harvest in his county was a bumper harvest. It was all due to Huai Ming's contribution to your farming. It shows that it is enough to govern a prefect of a county. In addition,
Now you are very prestigious among the Qiang people, and you are the most qualified to be the captain of the Qiang Guard."
"But I still want to remind Boxing not to violate military orders again in the future."
Due to Zhu Kui's merit, Zhang Wen recommended it. Generally speaking, Liu Hong would agree with this appointment 90% of the time, but he was very surprised that Zhang Wen could be so kind suddenly. You must know that a single Jincheng prefect is nothing, and a guardian is nothing.
There's nothing wrong with being a Qiang lieutenant, but the two of them hold concurrent jobs and have great rights.
The prefect is the head of a county, has a solid foundation, and protects the Qiang captains. He is the person who controls all the county soldiers in Xiliang. There are at least nearly 100,000 infantry and cavalry. Is Zhang Wen so kind?
Just when Zhu Kui was about to thank him for something, the Xuanyuan Sword on his waist suddenly sent out an ominous feeling, which sent a chill down his spine. He couldn't help but clenched his fists subconsciously. There was something wrong here. If he accepted this appointment, he would be in danger of life or death.
Tribulation.
All of a sudden, the joy in my heart disappeared, and I raised my fists with both hands: "It all depends on the emperor."
After coming out of the commander's tent, Zhu Kui immediately approached Jia Xu and wanted to know what Zhang Wen's conspiracy was. Although Xuanyuan Sword could detect serious evil, he didn't know where the evil was. He himself was puzzled along the way.
untie.
Based on his original intention, he very much likes the two positions of Jincheng County Governor and Qiang Protector Colonel. In this way, he can dominate Xiliang. If the world is in chaos, the iron cavalry can easily occupy Guanzhong and become the power of Qin State, comparable to the princes of the world.
One step faster.
Similarly, taking Jiangdong as the basis for establishing a foothold, it would be faster and more advantageous to get to Guanzhong.
When he saw Jia Xu, Pi Tou asked, "The charioteers want to recommend me as the prefect of Jincheng and also as the captain of the Qiang Guard. What does Wen He think?"
"The prefect of Jincheng meets the captain who protects the Qiang?" Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Congratulations, general, for becoming a prince."
"Zhang Wen hates me to the core. How could he be so kind in commending me to a high position? There must be a conspiracy, and he also asked Wen He to teach me?" Zhu Kui definitely didn't want to joke with him, so he deeply bowed to him as a disciple and asked for advice.
"General, please get up quickly." Jia Xu took a deep breath, turned serious, and said: "General, you really have good intuition, and you can still be so clear-headed under the great reward."
In Jia Xu's eyes, young generals who are famous for their military exploits always lack political sense. Duan Ji and Chen Tang are the same. Only Zhu Kui in front of him gives him a feeling of being young and calm, not a twenty-year-old general.
One year old young man.
It's a pity that he misunderstood. The combined age of Zhu Kui and his two generations is older than him. This is due to his maturity. As for intuition, most of it is based on the Xuanyuan Sword to warn...
"Chariots and cavalry are compared to Chen Tang as a general. It should be known that Chen Tang lived in Dunhuang in his later years. A prefect wrote a letter saying: "Tang killed Zhi Zhizhi Chanyu. His majesty reached as far as foreign countries. He is now a common man and is not suitable to live in the frontier fortress.
Moved and died in Chang'an.
"If the general is now in charge of the military and political power in Xiliang, someone will report Chen Tang's events in his later years within a year. When the emperor becomes suspicious, he will charge him with an unwarranted crime, or he will be punished with death penalty, or he will be cut off from his position. The general's career will be like this.
Stop."
"If you want to get it, you must give it to me first." Zhu Kui suddenly felt nervous: "Although Zhang Wen doesn't like me, he won't do this to my death. It must be the Yuan family who did it, what a good Yuan Pang."
A cold murderous intention flashed past, and he solemnly thanked me: "Thank you, sir, for helping me understand what Kuizhi should do."
Jia Xu noticed that murderous intention. Watching him leave, he suddenly felt that the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince, were careless, which would lead to the disaster of annihilation in the future. Suddenly he saw a conquest form in his hand, but it was
Dong Zhuo found out somewhere about Zhu Kui's respect for him along the way, so he came to poach him and gave him a position similar to secretary or military adviser, such as Zhonglang General's army.
Back in his tent, Zhu Kui thought about how to deal with it. For a long time, he sighed in his heart. He had killed all the tigers in Liangzhou. Now he could no longer raise tigers to cause trouble. He had to give up the idea of using Xiliang as a foundation.
.
For a moment, I couldn't vent my anger, so I took out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, stood up, called Erhu in, and said in his ear: "Go back to Jiangdong immediately and give the letter to Uncle Mei, and destroy it after reading it."
"Yes, lord."
Seeing the two tigers leaving, Zhu Kui thought for a while and realized that retreating in order to advance was the best option.
Then he called Wang Cheng, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, and Liao Hua to him, and then he said: "Zhang Wen, the governor of Jincheng and the guard of the Qiang school, is really harming me. Now I want to resign and return to Jiangdong.
You all are ready." Then he went on to explain Jia Xu's analysis.
"Brother has made great achievements, but that stinky captain treated him like this. Let me go and kill him." The two sworn brothers Zhou Tai and Gan Ning were angry and wanted to take revenge. Zhu Kui quickly got up and talked with Wang Cheng and Liao Hua.
Stop them together.
"Calm down. Killing an important official of the imperial court without permission is a crime of beheading. You want all the brothers to die in a foreign land."
In fact, after his last trip to Luoyang, Zhu Kui began to reflect on his strengths and weaknesses. After thinking over and over again, he found that he had no political connections in the court. Political struggles were too dangerous for him. Even if he knew that there was danger,
You are approaching, but you can't see where the danger comes from. If you don't become the governor of Jincheng, there are many other governor positions for you to choose from. If you don't stay in Xiliang, you have to go back to Luoyang, where the Yuan family has a lot of power to deal with.
It is impossible for him, Zhu Jun and others to protect themselves. With the political power of the Yuan family, even they will be dragged down.
After careful consideration, I decided to resign first and wait until the world becomes more chaotic before we start again.
After Zhu Kui made this decision, Xuanyuan Sword no longer made any warning sword sounds.
"Brother is about to leave. We should advance and retreat with him and return to Jiangdong together." After a while, several people answered together.
"It affects all the brothers. With your help, why worry about not being able to make more achievements."
After handing over some miscellaneous military affairs, Zhu Kui took a group of brothers and soldiers and left Chang'an in a low-key manner, leaving only a letter of thanks, betraying the Taiwei's great love.
As soon as Fang left the city gate, he saw two people seeing each other off on the official road, Tao Qian and Fu Xie.
Zhu Kui quickly stood up and dismounted, saluted the two of them and said, "How dare you, the younger generation, to trouble Mr. Fuch and Mr. Tao to wait for so long to see you off!"
"Why is this so? Now that the Han Dynasty has just begun to revive, and is in need of the services of Huai Ming and other outstanding figures, how can it be possible to retreat and become a country citizen?" Fu Xie frowned and persuaded: "But that Zhang Wen privately
If you make things difficult for Huai Ming, tell me and I will judge for you.”…
In fact, Zhu Kui was very grateful for Fu Xie's generosity, but was it just that the Han Dynasty was resurrected? If Liu Bei was regarded as Liu Hong, he was still alive, but he was terminally ill at this moment. He shook his head and said: "It's not because of the Taiwei, Kui has never believed that the Taiwei and Liu Hong are still alive.
The two men, Hold Jin Wu and Yuan Gong, have the intention of suppressing the younger generations, and I prefer to believe that they are out of love for the younger generations. Although Kui's actions in Xiliang were meritorious, they were more faulty. How could they violate military regulations?
To set an example for all the troops.”
"I really don't have the face to face the emperor's reward. Moreover, Kui is too young. He is only twenty-one years old. Now that I am resigning, I hope that I can cultivate myself at home and make myself more stable. I hope that I can serve the emperor in the future."
Mr. Fu, don't fight with the Taiwei over this anymore."
After hearing Zhu Kui's appropriate response, Tao Qian couldn't help but nodded and said to Fu Xie: "Don't be stubborn. In fact, Huai Ming is resigning now and will cultivate himself at home until he is older.
His career may be smoother in the future. He is young and in a high position, but it is easy for others to envy him. At worst, I will wait for these party members to try to recommend Huai Ming."
"That's it, it's a smooth journey to Jiangdong." Fu Xie sighed.
"Farewell Tao Gong, Fu Gong." Zhu Kui pulled the reins of his horse, clasped his hands, and led his men to ride away.
Suddenly, Fu Xie saw Tao Qian behind him, and a poem came back from the direction he was leaving: "When it's over, I brushed off my clothes and left, hiding my body and name."
What a young hero, the two of them praised in their hearts. At this moment, Tao Qian shouted: "Nan Rong, look, there is a solar eclipse!"
The two of them squinted their eyes and looked at the sun, only to see an expanding shadow unknowingly appearing on the edge of the round sun.
Looking at the expanding shadow, Tao Qian was dumbfounded and murmured to himself: "A natural phenomenon! A natural phenomenon!"
"When Zhu Kui leaves, there will be an eclipse on the sun. This is the way of heaven, and it is the image of a wise man leaving the court!"
For a while, Tao Qian and Fu Xie connected this accidental solar eclipse with Zhu Kui's departure, which spread widely. At the same time, the reason for Zhu Kui's resignation and his parting words spread throughout Chang'an overnight.
