Qin Xu still didn't know what he had done in Chang'an before, he had offended Dong Cheng's father and daughter, and he was still remembered to this day.
But even if you know, you probably can only laugh. Although Dong Cheng's father and daughter are relatives of the emperor, when the Han Dynasty was prosperous, maybe Qin Xu would really be a little worried. But now, although Cao Cao now retains a considerable amount of face for the Son of Heaven, he will openly speak to the branch no matter what, and listen to Liu Xie's opinion; But in fact, it's not easy to say if you don't do it, after all, a fourteen-year-old child is dealing with national affairs, but anyone who still has a little affection for the big man will not be too relieved. The Son of Heaven has no real power, so Dong Cheng, the uncle who is attached to the Son of Heaven, especially after the Dong family was slaughtered because of Dong Zhuo's affairs, is just a noble man with the military position of a chariot general, at most with the hat of the emperor's father-in-law who has no real power, to scare and scare the ignorant villain.
Qin Xu is now the assassin of Xuzhou who nominally holds an army of 30,000 troops, and the Marquis of Wuting, the general of Zhengdong, and the special guard captain who were personally sealed by the Son of Heaven, can throw Dong Cheng out of the eight streets in terms of official personality and actual position, not to mention that there is also Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general in Qingzhou, who is "supportive", and the Han officials with a little common sense can tell which of these two is more important.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Qin Xu was just a small general with no foundation, in that case, if he took into account any etiquette rules, he had to take care of the face of these two "noble-born" people. It is estimated that no matter how hypocritical it is, it will be swallowed by Xiliang's defeated soldiers, and there will be no scum left, where will there be a chance for them to ruffle for no reason.
"Zhong Ming, now you are ranked Jiuqing. Ordered to be a marquis, leading the history of Xuzhou Thorn, although Ang is the same age as you, he is being pulled farther and farther away by you! "Along with Qin Xu, there was also Cao Cao's eldest son, who came to Qingzhou because of Yuan Tan's affairs and wanted to "communicate" with Lu Bu on behalf of Cao Cao. Cao Ang looked at the team of nearly 2,000 people and more than several miles long with some emotion, and there were two guards of honor alone. It occupies almost a third of the length of the line. One is Lu Bu's general's guard of honor, and the other is Qin Xu's guard of honor for the general of Zhengdong. The general of Zhengdong was the main conquest, nominally controlling the war in the four states of Qing, Yan, Xu, and Yang. is more than the third duke, and it is no wonder that Cao Ang, the official (second) generation with a pure character, has such feelings.
How else to say that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. He was just a small master of the inner house, and he reached such a high position in two years. He is the son of Cao Cao, the general of the cavalry. But he is still white. When he was still envied by some people for having a good father who was a high-ranking official in the court, Qin, who was the same age as himself, was almost equal to his father.
"What did Zixiu say! The left and right are all for the sake of the big man, so why bother to divide the high and low? General Cao is a hero in the world, and Zi Xiu will definitely be better than the blue, maybe Zi Xiu will take care of him in the future! When Qin Xu said this, he felt blushing, but he remembered the boss of the company he was working for in the future, holding a small teapot in one hand. Stuck in a leather sofa with an unknown name, he has a big belly and is full of wine and food. Rubbing the N carat diamond ring in his hand that I don't know who to give it to, and my subordinates are fighting hard but still have a meal without a meal, and I always feel that the "white-collar" elites who are white-collar workers have to follow me to work hard, and I will definitely achieve something in the future......
"Thank you Brother Zhongming for your teachings! Ang Dingran remembered it in his heart! Cao Ang didn't see Qin Xu's residual thoughts, but instead said to Qin Xu with a solemn face.
Qin Xu: "......"
This trip came to Xuchang in time for the New Year's Festival. The team led by Qin Xu is quite luxurious. Out of consideration for Cao Cao's "character", and the importance of this court meeting the Son of Heaven to sacrifice prisoners to Qingzhou, it is easy not to be missed. There is also the mastermind of the Lu Bu army in the name of taking the opportunity to "visit old friends", and Guo Jia, the general of the military division, is the deputy envoy. Lu Bu specially ordered Dian Wei, the deputy commander of the personal guard battalion and the general of the Tiger Guard, to cancel the "annual leave", and led 500 elite soldiers of the trapped camp with full armor to take charge of the protection work! In addition, there are also 1,075 people specially transferred by Qin Xu to join the camp and recruit the following 1,075 people, who are responsible for escorting the four important prisoners of Yuan Tan, Tao Shang, Zhang Min, and Yu Fang, as well as the 100 important accomplices of the "Righteous Army" who have been selected for their fierce appearance.
Because of the envoy led by Cao Ang, the supplies were supported by Cao's army along the way. Lu Bujun's side did not bring auxiliaries at all this time, they were all elite soldiers! With this position and combat power, it is enough to fight a small war, which shows that Lu Bu attaches great importance to this "sacrifice of prisoners in front of the king".
came from Linzi with such fanfare, and two full sets of honor guards were played, and the movement was really not small. At the beginning of Qin Xu's army leaving Linzi, many people had already begun to vaguely guess Lu Bujun's intention this time.
Because of Chen Ji's big mouth. Although the pottery merchant stole the jade seal of the heirloom country, everyone did not say it, but in fact, it was known to the whole world. Just because of this matter, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Ji was the last person to see the jade seal of the country other than Yuan Shu, and was concerned by the major forces, Sun Ce would not have swallowed this Yuan Shu's henchman who wanted to take refuge in him.
Although Chen Ji said that he did not know the whereabouts of the potter, he was still informed by someone who had a heart through other channels. At the same time that the potter was bold and dared to take the initiative to provoke Lu Bu, after the potter was captured by Lu Busheng, the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country had a bit of strange ideas.
Doesn't it mean that where there are potters, there must be jade seals? But now, among the "important prisoners" escorted by Qin Xu, there is actually the existence of potters? But it makes this seemingly simple question a little more inexplicably complicated. What did Lu Bu mean by doing this? Did you get that artifact and prepare to sacrifice it to the Son of Heaven, or did you have another intention? Looking at putting the potters together with Zhang Min, Yu Fang and others, is it the legendary Kong Rong who is preparing to cause trouble in Qingzhou, if you think about it carefully, it seems to have something to do with this, is it also related to this matter? There are all kinds of speculations, anyway, since Qin Xu left Linzi, rumors have been flying all over the sky.
Of course, this is the result that Qin Xu expected to see after discussing with Lu Bu, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia that day. Only this stall is getting more and more mixed. The Qingzhou Lu Bujun forces in the bureau can be at ease, after all, the matter is big, and it is the situation that the Qingzhou Lu Bujun has developed to the present day. It can be said that he is not afraid of any force at all, but he does not dare to provoke this matter too much. If you don't get it right, you will be the enemy of the world. After the drought in Qingxu Erzhou, there was a war, and it was just a short time of stabilization, and it really couldn't stand the toss.
This matter is known to the whole world, and Xuchangzhong, which is in the temporary political center of the great drought, will naturally not lack this kind of news. As a former secretly hated Qin Xu, he "rashly" rescued the Son of Heaven. made himself want to take the opportunity to win the Son of Heaven's reliance on the careful planning to pay all the water, and in the end, Chang'an was defeated, but he only got a vanity of Dong Cheng, a general of the chariot and cavalry. After hearing the news, as if intuition, I immediately realized that there was actually a lot to be done here.
In Dong Cheng's mind, if Qin Xu stayed in Qingzhou honestly. There is Lu Bu to protect him. It's just that Dong Cheng, who bears the noble name of a national uncle and the nominal chariot general, really has no way at all. But now that Qin Xu has come to Xuchang, his words and deeds are under the gaze of others, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't help but continue to be rampant.
Others don't understand, he, Dong Cheng, is the uncle of the country, and he almost grew up with Liu Xie, so he still doesn't understand the character of his young son? Don't look at Liu Xie now, he seems to have a good impression of Qin Xu, and that is also because Qin Xu was the most desperate when Liu Xie. It suddenly appeared as if it had fallen from the sky, and it was a great achievement to save the Son of Heaven from fire and water. And as a foreign minister, he refused the "temptation" of having the opportunity to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, which made Liu Xie impressed. Waiting for Qin Xu to be slandered, Dong Cheng knew that he would not be able to play any role in a short period of time.
But after all, Dong Cheng is an old minister of the two dynasties, and has experienced eunuchs, Dong Zhuo, Li Guo and even now Cao Cao, who have used all kinds of means to seize power, and now when He Jin, Wang Yun and others have turned into dust, they can still stand above the court, how can this experience of political struggle be controlled by a suspicious and extremely assertive young emperor? Therefore, after seeing that he deliberately led the topic to the Han clan relatives and slightly revealed his derogatory rebuke to Qin Xu, Liu Xieqiang, the son of heaven, couldn't hide his resistance to his own group of relatives, Dong Cheng immediately changed his strategy.
"Your Majesty is really a very rare hero of my Han Dynasty, and his discerning eyes are really good at knowing heroes, I think that as Your Majesty expected, Wu Tinghou escorted the rumored thief who stole the artifact to Xuchang this time, and it must be a stolen person, and my Han artifact has been dusty for several years, and I think it can finally reappear in the court in the hands of Your Majesty." Dong Cheng listened to Liu Xie's question about the situation of the pottery merchant, but after Liu Xie seemed to be reminded of the situation of Qin Xu's rescue that day, he seemed to have suddenly realized, knelt on the ground, and said with an excited expression.
"Huh? The boss said that Qin Qing had obtained the stolen goods this time, cough cough, the thief and the artifact were obtained together, and then he came to Xuchang to offer prisoners? Liu Xie's small eyes suddenly lit up, stared at Dong Cheng's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"This ...... The old minister doesn't dare to say anything! Although Wu Tinghou often acts unexpectedly, he probably won't do anything like a thief who even got it, but he can't find the lost artifact, right? Dong Cheng's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth were faintly hooked, but his face was sincerely frightened. Dong Cheng was actually not sure whether Lu Bu had really won the jade seal of the country this time, and he was reluctant to let Qin Xu bring it so quietly, so he also left a back door in his words.
"Well, Uncle Guo is right! Although Qin Qing is young, he acts in a disciplined manner. Yes, yes, even the people know the truth of catching thieves and taking dirty, Qin Qing started from the end of Wei, how could he just hand over the thief and play Yu Zhen. The more Liu Xie listened to what Dong Cheng said, the more he felt reasonable, and nodded again and again and said: "In this way, Qin Qing and Lu Qing are indeed both loyal ministers of my Han Dynasty. Kong Rong! Hum! As long as the facts are conclusive, I will definitely give Qin Qing and Lu Qing justice. ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Dong Chengshan bowed down, as if he was very happy for Liu Xie, and said with great interest: "Since the Marquis of Qin is very likely to invite the artifact to accompany him, Your Majesty must not be careless, the old minister has a proposal!" It is reported that the Marquis of Qin and his entourage have passed through Yanzhou and come to Xuchang, if His Majesty summons the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, firstly, to show the importance of Wuting Hou and Wen Hou, and secondly, it can also be to welcome the joy of the artifact returning to the Han Dynasty! ”
"Hmm! The old man has a point! All right! ”…… (To be continued......)
