After breakfast, Zhang Yan wore a military attaché's court uniform and went straight to Chonghua Palace.

"Weichen Zhang Yan, knock to see Bixia!" As soon as Zhang Yan entered the Chonghua Palace, he arched his hand.

Liu Xie was grateful to Zhang Yan for saving his life, so he gave Zhang Yan three privileges, namely, not to enter the court, to go to the palace with a sword, and to praise him.

Entering the court, going to the palace with a sword, and praising without a name are the three special powers of the ancient courtiers when they saw the emperor.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the system was set, when going to the palace, the sword must not be carried, and when the courtiers saw the emperor, they also needed to tend. Tendency means to walk briskly. Every time a minister goes to the temple, the guards standing outside the hall will perform a roll call, that is, first call out the person's official position or title, and then call him by name.

For example, when Zhang Yan went to the temple to meet the Son of Heaven, the guards standing outside the hall would shout: "General Zhang Yan has arrived!" ”

However, Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, gave Zhang Yan the privilege of not entering the court, going to the palace with his sword, and praising him. Therefore, Zhang Yan can swagger into the main hall.

In addition to these three privileges, Zhang Yan also enjoys the right not to bow down. With these privileges, Zhang Yan looks like a powerful minister.

At this time, there was a person standing in the main hall, this person Zhang Yan was no stranger, he had seen it before, it was Yuan Lian.

And the messenger sent by Yuan Shu was Yuan Shu.

Liu Xie had just met with Yuan Lian, and when he saw Zhang Yan entering the hall directly, he immediately said: "Aiqing came at the right time, this is the envoy Yuan Lian sent by Yuan Shu, the general of the chariot cavalry, who came to thank him, I don't know if Aiqing has seen it?" ”

"I've had a relationship with the General before. Danchen arrived in Pengcheng this time. It's the first time we've met. Yuan Jian replied first.

"Lord Yuan, don't come here to be harmed, are you okay?" Zhang Yan turned his head and asked.

Yuan Jian said: "Drag the general's blessing." Everything is fine with the lower officials. ”

"By the way, Zhang Aiqing, I don't know how Zhang Aiqing did what I told you to do before?" Liu Xie asked suddenly.

Zhang Yan said: "Back to Bixia, the minister has recruited famous people from all over the world to join the court and auxiliary government according to Bixia's instructions, and it has been more than a month. In the rest of the month, most of the celebrities accepted Bixia's recruitment and arrived in Pengcheng successively. Now he has been arranged by the minister to rest in the post house. After the minister wants to wait for everyone to arrive, he will bring to meet Bixia. However, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Wang Lie, Zhang Fan and others were unwilling to come out, and politely declined for various reasons, which was a little unsatisfactory. ”

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I can't force them. After everyone arrived, Zhang Aiqing was bothered to write a recital of the hundred officials, and after I saw it, I officially took the form of a holy decree. Confer on them official positions. ”

"Obey. Bixia, the minister came this time. One more thing, I hope Bixia can be gracious! ”

"What's the matter?"

"When the minister guards Bixia first arrived in Pengcheng, if it is turbulent today, the Quartet is stupid, and the community does not exist, the minister should block the Quartet, so that he knows that Bixia has re-established the community in Pengcheng to calm his heart."

"Well, Aiqing's proposal is very good, so let's do it according to Aiqing's wishes."

Zhang Yan then took out a letter and presented it directly in front of him, saying: "Bixia, the minister has already prepared a recital, and please Bixia for permission!" ”

The palace maid took the fold and handed it to Liu Xie, and after Liu Xie opened the fold written by Zhang Yan, he hurriedly glanced at it and said, "I'm ready!" ”

Immediately, Liu Xie asked people to draft a holy decree and named Gongsun Zan as the general of Youzhou Mu and Zhenbei; Ma Teng is the general of Zhenxi and the pastor of Liangzhou; Han Sui was the general of Anxi; Liu Zhang is the general of Yizhou Mu and Pingxi; Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is the general of Zhennan; Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, was the general of Yangzhou Mu and Annan; Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Xie is the general of Jiaozhou Mu and Pingnan; Anguo general Zhang Yang is the general of Bingzhou and Anbei.

In addition, Zhang Yan also asked Liu Xie to draft a holy decree to conquer Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji, and let Ma Teng, Han Sui, Liu Zhang, and Liu Biao each send troops into Guanzhong to conquest.

Liu Xie asked people to draft the holy decree, and after stamping the jade seal, he ordered someone to send out the holy decree.

Zhang Yan didn't have anything to do in the Chonghua Palace, so he withdrew from the hall one after another with Yuan Lian.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Yan said to Yuan Shu: "Lord Yuan, I heard that Yuan Shu has the heart of being the emperor in Huainan, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Yuan Jian said: "If the general thinks it is true, it is true, if it is false, it is false." ”

"Haha......" Zhang Yan heard Yuan Lian's answer, so he daxiao, and then said to Yuan Lian, "Lord Yuan's father used to be the Situ of the current dynasty, and Lord Yuan is also quite talented, now I welcome Bixia to Pengcheng, and I am preparing to re-establish Sheji, in a vain attempt to restore the foundation of the Han Dynasty, why don't Lord Yuan stay and assist Bixia?" ”

"I understand the general's kindness, I still say the same thing, the family under me is in Shouchun, even if I want to come to Pengcheng, I will move my family, otherwise, with Yuan Shu's person, if I dare to stay here, he will definitely behead me. However, the general can rest assured that if I get the opportunity, I will definitely move my family to Pengcheng, and when the time comes, I just ask the general not to turn me away. ”

"What did Lord Yuan say, if Lord Yuan came to Pengcheng, Zhang Yan couldn't ask for it, how could he turn him away. Yuan Shu sent an adult to meet the Son of Heaven, and wanted to reconcile with me, in my opinion, Yuan Shu's expediency at that time. How is Yuan Shu's character, the adults should be very clear, he will rebel against the court sooner or later, and set himself up as the emperor, when the time comes, I will inevitably send troops to pacify Yuan Shu, at that time, I hope that the adults are no longer in Huainan, otherwise, the sword and gun have no eyes, I am really worried that the adults will be injured by the rebels. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Jian frowned, and secretly thought in his heart: "When I return to Shouchun this time, I have to find a way to leave Huainan, otherwise, the lives of the whole family will be worried." ”

Zhang Yan sent someone to see Yuan Jian away, and then returned to the General's Mansion himself.

At this time, in the front hall of the General's Mansion, the hall was full of guests, Bing Yuan, Guo Yuan, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Zheng Hun, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, Jiang Ji, Jia Kui, Wen Hui, Zhang Ji, Xu Yi, He Kui, Sima Zhi, Xing Hao, Du Ji, Xu Miao, Wei Qi, Wang Cang, Liu Shao, He Qia, Xu Gan and other 24 people gathered together, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Zhang Zhao, Dong Zhao and others were responsible for entertaining all celebrities.

Zhang Yan suddenly appeared in the hall, and everyone in the hall shouted in unison: "See the general!" ”

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite, it's my honor to be here today!" Zhang Yan said with a smile as he walked into the hall.

Zhang Yan looked around, and among the guests in the room, they were all of different ages. Among them, Bing Yuan, Guo Yuan, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Zheng Hun, Zhong Xuan, Wei Qi and others are slightly older, all around 40 years old, while most of the rest are between 20 and 35 years old. The youngest is Wang Cang, who is not even twenty years old, only eighteen years old.

Wang Cang is one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and Zhang Yan's understanding of him is limited to this, fortunately, he did not recruit those who are still a few years old, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, Lu Xun and others, at this time it is estimated that they are still just children.

Zhang Yan is glad that he did not recruit the child, otherwise, it would be a real joke.

Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin is now an official under his account, although he has not had much intersection with Zhuge Jin, but at least it is not difficult to get Zhuge Liang into his hands.

Now the hall is full of guests, in his opinion, they are all strangers, everyone is meeting for the first time, among these twenty-four people, in comparison, everyone is familiar with the figures, should be the first to recommend Lu Su, followed by Liu Ye, Zhong Xuan, Gu Yong, Hua Xin, Wang Lang and others, right?

Therefore, Zhang Yan's first concern is which one is Lu Su. However, in front of so many people, and in front of Bing Yuan, Guo Yuan, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Zheng Hun, Zhong Xuan, Wei Qi, and other slightly older people, if you ask who Lu Su is first, it will inevitably seem too disrespectful to others.

What's more, in terms of his reputation at that time, Lu Su was not very famous.

After Zhang Yan sat down, he said loudly: "I and all of you, most of them are meeting for the first time, so far, except for Wang Lang, I don't know who you are, I don't know who is willing to introduce me?" ”

Jia Xu, who was standing beside Zhang Yan, immediately stood up and said to Zhang Yan: "Lord, let me introduce you to the lord one by one!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jia Xu introduced them from left to right, and the twenty-four people present all introduced them clearly, without any mistakes or omissions.

Everyone present was surprised, they and Jia Xu were also meeting for the first time, how could Jia Xu open his mouth and call out the name of each of them?

Zhang Yan was also surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. and they all knew each other before?" ”

"I haven't known each other, just like the lord, it's the first time we've met." Jia Xu replied.

Zhang Yan asked curiously: "In this case, why can Mr. call everyone here so accurately?" ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, and he said slowly: "Back to the lord, when you came in just now, there were people outside the door, and where they were all sitting, their subordinates wrote them down one by one, so they were able to call everyone's name so accurately." ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall was in an uproar, and all eyes were focused on Jia Xu's body, but he never expected that Jia Xu would have the ability to never forget.

At the same time, everyone here feels that there are such capable people under Zhang Yan's account, which shows that there are many talents under Zhang Yan's account.

The mere passing of Jia Xu is enough to make everyone here have respect for Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan has also won the respect of so many people through Jia Xu, and I sincerely thank Jia Xu.

Subsequently, Zhang Yan talked freely with the people present, and at noon, Zhang Yan even invited everyone to a banquet in the house.

In the General's Mansion, for the first time, there were many talents, and the hall was full of guests, not to mention how happy Zhang Yan was. (To be continued......)
