Wei Ba hurriedly stood up to greet him, opened the middle gate, and the generals who attended the banquet also quickly stood up and lined up to greet him. At this time, people from the Chengdu court must have rewarded Wei Ba for his military achievements in pacifying Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.
The thickness directly affects Wei Ba's power, and it also affects the future interests of everyone here, and no one dares to take it lightly.
Jiang Wan followed Wei Ba out to greet him. As soon as he saw the envoy, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged.
He knew this envoy, Fa Zheng's son Fa Miao.
There is no doubt that Fa Zheng was Liu Bei's first confidant when he was alive. Liu Bei could be said to be obedient to Fa Zheng. Even Zhuge Liang had to admit this, so he said when Liu Bei defeated Yiling that Fa Feizhi
Now, I will definitely convince Your Majesty not to fight this battle, and even if I go, I will not be defeated in such a crushing defeat.
However, although Fa Zheng was domineering for a while and was rampant in Chengdu, he was unable to be appointed as a marquis until his death. This was probably the only regret he had besides his early death, and it was also Liu Bei's regret. When Fa Zheng died, Liu Bei regretted it and gave Fa Miao a gift.
The title of Guanneihou made Fa Miao beside him. He thought that he would use it to his strength when Fa Miao was older and exercised for a few years. Who would have thought that Yiling would be defeated in the battle? Liu Bei would soon follow Fa Zheng.
It's right.
As soon as Liu Bei died and Zhuge Liang was in power, Fa Miao completely stepped aside. His title was still there, but his official position was delayed in being promoted. His Guannei Hou was just a void title and had no fief, just based on his
With official salary, he did not live a comfortable life.
Such a man suddenly became an envoy of the emperor and came to Jingzhou to preach an imperial edict. Although his official position may not be high, it shows that he has officially entered the official career, not just a reserve officer.
A reserve officer like a doctor takes office as a formal official position. Just like Zhao Tong, who had been a doctor in the palace for many years, finally seized the opportunity to go to Wuling with Wei Ba, and soared into the sky from then on, this is a threshold. Many people can't get through
This threshold is to be a man in your life.
Jiang Wan immediately thought of Li Yan. He could make someone like Fa Miao become an official without considering what the prime minister would think, nor could he not take the opposition of the Jingxiang faction seriously, only Li Yan.
The Prime Minister was in Guanzhong. He was ordered to come to Jingzhou again. Now no one in Chengdu can balance Li Yan. Dong Yun was originally the person arranged by the Prime Minister, but in the face of a person like Li Yan, Dong Yun was not worth enough.
Fa Miao went to the hall and announced the emperor's edict. The result surprised Jiang Wan even more. His Majesty the Emperor appointed Wei Ba as General Zhennan, Marquis of Xiangxiang, and had a fief of 800 households. This official title didn't look very big, but I thought
If Wei Ba's father Wei Yan was just a general in Zhenbei and Marquis of Nanzheng, you can know how heavy this reward was. Marquis of Eight Hundred Houses, let alone Wei Ba's age, even the entire Shu Han Dynasty was one of the few.
of.
Because the Three Kingdoms are separated, there are two forms of titles. One is called Yaoling, which means that the place where he is from is a fief, such as Zhang Fei is named the Marquis of Xixiang. Zhuge Liang is named Wuxiang Marquis of this situation. Xixiang is in
Zhuo County, Wuxiang is in Langya. This way of title is more of honor, because you cannot really go back to run your own manor. You can only get a rent. There is another type called real seal, which is the place where the seal is
Can send people to build a manor. In actual management, like Wei Ba, Xiangxiang is now within his jurisdiction. He can build a manor in Xiangxiang and actually manage various affairs in the manor. Wei Yan's south
The same is true for Zheng Hou. Nanzheng is within the ruling area of Shu Han, so the Wei family's manor in Nanzheng can be retained.
After listening to the edict, the people who knew the inside story couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Jiang Wan's face had not changed much, her worries were even heavier. He knew very well that this was unlikely to be Liu Chan's idea, but Li Yan's idea. Although Li Yan and Wei Ba did not have direct contact, they
There seemed to be a tacit understanding between them. Last time Wei Ba refused to return to Chengdu, it is said that Li Yan was influenced by him. Now Li Yan used Zhuge Liang to reward Wei Ba in the name of the emperor, which naturally means to repay his favor.
Wei Ba received the edict, thanked him for his kindness, replaced the seal of General Zhennan in front of everyone, and wore the seal of Xiangxiang Hou to accept everyone's congratulations. Then, he asked Fa Miao to announce the controversy in public.
The rewards of the soldiers have become even more lively. You should know that except for Zhao Tong, Jin Dongliu and others, most of the soldiers who have made meritorious service were present. Every time a person’s name was reported, it caused a burst of cheers, and Xiangguan City suddenly became
In the city of joy, the cheers can be heard even outside the city.
The list of rewards was very long, and it took half an hour to finish reading. Fa Miao handed the edict to Wei Ba and bowed, "Congratulations to General. Now you father, son, brother, and three marquises in one family, you are so happy."
Wei Ba laughed loudly and took Fa Miao to his seat. Fa Miao shook his hand and said with a smile: "General, don't worry, let me introduce two talents to you."
After hearing this, Jiang Wan's eyebrows jumped. Wei Ba was also a little surprised, but he still said with a smile: "If you can get praise from the Lord of Fa, you must be a master of the world. Today, Xiangguan City is really a wise man.
, there are so many guests."
Fa Miao smiled and waved to the two thirty-year-old scholars who had been following him: "Wenran, Boda, are you still here to pay a visit to the general, do you want someone to invite him?"
The two scribes walked over with a smile and bowed to Wei Ba.
"Jianwei Yang Opera, pay homage to the general."
"Zhang Biao, Shu County, pay homage to the general."
Jiang Wan was finally moved. He turned around and showed a bitter smile to Lai Qi, and Lai Qi's face had already turned pale. No wonder they were. Yang Xi was from Wuyang, Jianwei and Yang Hong were of the same clan. After Yang Hong died
Later, he was the representative of Jianwei people. That's fine, after all, Jianwei people are average in strength and have no real power. But Zhang Biao is different. He is from Chengdu, Shu County, and his father once made great contributions to Liu Bei's entry into Shu.
, Zhang Song, who lost his life in the end.
These two people came to Jingzhou to rely on Wei Ba, which means that the Yizhou Group has officially expressed its opinion to Wei Ba. In comparison, Fa Miao represents the Dongzhou Group.
Li Yan was indeed a big deal, so Jiang Wan was not nervous. He suddenly felt that the Prime Minister had made a big mistake this time.
"Wenran is like a name and has a brilliant literary talent. Even if it is placed in the Central Plains, it is also a beautiful article and will not allow others to do so. Boda is extremely wise and handsome in Shu. They are usually arrogant. They just heard of the general's.
After great military achievements, I was moved to see the general."
Wei Ba hurriedly said modestly: "When Fajun is laughing, he occasionally has a minor achievement, and God blesses the great man. His Majesty, the Prime Minister's plan, and the soldiers below use their lives. How dare I beg for the achievements of heaven? I am afraid that I will make you laugh at me.
Come on, since you are coming here with condescending respect, let’s drink a cup together, get rid of the old and welcome the new, and create a new situation for the Han Dynasty together.”
Fa Miao and others looked at each other and smiled with understanding.
Everyone raised their glasses together and congratulated Wei Ba again. If the clan of Lingling was still a little angry just now, now seeing Wei Ba so favored, that little injustice would have been thrown out of the sky. I am not afraid of the current official, but I am afraid of the current prisoner.
Wei Ba will definitely be the most official military and political chief here in the foreseeable future. It is undoubtedly a struggle with him when he is against him. Their families may have some small strength here, but if they want to fight against the court, they are not opponents at all.
At this moment, congratulations were everywhere, only Jiang Wan and Lai Shi were very lonely.
In the back hall, Xiahou Hui was drinking with a group of women and got the news from the front yard. Suddenly, cheers were filled with all kinds of compliments and flattery. Everyone knew that in Wei Ba's wife Guan Feng did not arrive in Lingling.
Previously - according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, it was estimated that Guan Feng would not be able to come to Lingling - Xiahou Hui was naturally the head of Wei Ba. If you want to have a good relationship with Wei Ba, of course, you must first establish a good relationship with Xiahou Hui.
Congratulations were heard everywhere. Even though Xiahou Hui just touched her lips every time, her cheeks would make her cheeks slightly red.
...
Chengdu, General Cavalry Mansion.
Li Yan and Li Feng sat face to face, joining the army Hu Zhong, and the general Cheng Fan accompanied him. Li Yan smiled and said, "Fa Miao should have arrived in Lingling now, right?"
Li Feng smiled and said, "He can't do it because his father is taking care of him. Even if he goes day and night, he must arrive before the New Year arrives and give Wei Ba a big gift."
Li Yan smiled and played with the jade cup in his hand, looking at the amber-like wine in the cup. "Put it with papaya and repay it with Qiong Yao. Although Wei Ba was young, he knew it was amazing, which was much better than his father.
But he was still young and supported Guanzhong so fully, he thought how much food could fall into his father's hands? Besides, it is not safe to transport grain directly from Jingzhou to Xiangyang and pass from the territory of the Wu people."
Before Li Feng could speak, Hu Zhong continued: "What the general said is very important. Although the war in Guanzhong is tense, the food in Chengdu is also tense. Although the transportation from Jingzhou is more convenient and safe, it cannot be guaranteed. It is still transferred to Yizhou.
It is safer, and in this way, it is easier for the general to coordinate the allocation."
Li Yan smiled with satisfaction. He took a sip of wine, stopped the wine on his tongue for a moment, and then slowly swallowed it, and said calmly with Zhizhu holding it, "I believe Wei Ba is a smart person, he
You will know the importance and interests of it. Even if he is confused for a while, Fa Miao will remind him. What a good talent, the Prime Minister is just unwilling to use it. I really can't figure it out. The world is so big, why should talents be limited to Jingxiang? Or Wei
The tyrant has the measure and knows that the water is clear and there is no fish."
Cheng Fan looked at Li Yan with a daze. He didn't quite understand what Li Yan meant, but he believed in Li Yan's vision. Seeing that Li Yan's evaluation of Wei Ba was so high, he quickly agreed with a few words: "I want to say that civil and military talents are all talented.
Among the young people today, Wei Ba is indeed outstanding. After entering Wuling, only the general's record of pacifying Ma Qin and Gao Sheng can compare with his record of winning."
Li Yan smiled reservedly: "I'm old and old. I can't mention the little things I did back then. The younger generation is terrifying, and I dare not show any ugliness."
Hu Zhong's eyes rolled: "General, now the Han and Wu alliance are good, and Wei Ba is blocked from Jiangnan. Then only the general can take the battle in Xiangyang next."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "No hurry, I don't want to follow Guan Yu's footsteps. Now I've finally returned to Chengdu, so I'd better stay for a few more days, take a good look at the scenery in Chengdu, and discuss it again
It’s not too late. As for Xiangyang, I believe Wu Yi will be very interested.”
