Chapter 700: Night Parade in Brocade Clothes: Right and wrong

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Mi Yang knew some of his influence in Jingzhou, especially in Jiangling and Public Security Bureau.

Therefore, in order to prevent his arrival from disturbing the people, Mi Yang sent an order to Deng Zhi, asking him not to announce to the people that he was about to arrive in Jingzhou.

It is a pity that Mi Yang's influence in Jingzhou is only limited to a certain extent.

When Mi Yang was led by Wang An and entered Jiangling City, what he saw was a grand welcome ceremony.

Countless people, some gathered on houses, and some ran in the streets.

The moment they saw Mi Yang, they could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts and couldn't help but beat gongs and drums one after another.

For a time, the whole Jiangling city was buzzing with gongs and drums, and there was a bustle of people, giving it a festive appearance during the New Year.

And in that noisy environment, many people could not restrain their yearning for Mi Yang, and they rushed towards Mi Yang's location in a surging crowd.

Fortunately, Deng Zhi had anticipated this scene.

So today, he deployed many armored soldiers on both sides of the street to maintain order at the scene.

It's a pity that Deng Zhi didn't know that if it weren't for their duties, those armored soldiers would have rushed to Mi Yang's horse immediately to admire Mi Yang's appearance.

After all, Mi Yang's prestige in the Han army can be described as "high", which is considered modest.

Mi Yang was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him.

Mi Yang immediately looked at Deng Zhi who was standing aside.

Just now, Mi Yang wanted to ask Deng Zhi something, so he asked Deng Zhi to follow him on horseback. Otherwise, even if Deng Zhi had some martial arts skills, he might not be able to get within three steps of Mi Yang.

After seeing Mi Yang's reproachful look, Deng Zhi guessed that Mi Yang had misunderstood him.

Deng Zhi didn’t like to take the blame, so he quickly cried out:

"Da Sima doesn't know something.

Although Da Sima had ordered not to disturb the people, most of Da Sima's generals were led by Jingzhou generals.

They informed their families in letters that they were about to return to their hometown.

In this way, many people will know that Da Sima is returning home."

"Even if I want to suppress it, how can I suppress the longing of the people of Jingzhou for Da Sima?

In addition, I have already set up checkpoints all over Jingzhou.

Otherwise, I am afraid that Da Sima will not even be able to enter Jiangling City today."

At the end of the sentence, Deng Zhi showed a look of grievance on his face.

It’s not that I don’t do things, it’s that I can only do this one step!

After listening to Deng Zhi's explanation, the accusing look in Mi Yang's eyes disappeared, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

It is true that although he had given the order, even if his generals did not reveal the news, when his order came to Jingzhou, those who learned about it would be unable to restrain themselves from spreading the news.

But Mi Yang soon realized something was wrong.

"Homecoming?"

If Mi Yang remembers correctly, he is from Xuzhou!

After realizing Mi Yang's doubts, Deng Zhi smiled and explained:

"Da Sima didn't know something. Because Mi Gong served as the governor of Nanjun for many years, and Da Sima lived in Jiangling for a long time when he was young, many people in Nanjun regard Da Sima as a local person."

"Because of this matter, there was some unhappiness between Jiangling and the police."

Hearing this, Mi Yang became even more puzzled.

Facing Mi Yang's puzzled gaze, Deng Zhi continued:

“Since Da Sima left Jingzhou, there have been demands from various places in Jingzhou to write Da Sima’s life and the public security war into the local county annals.

Let’s not mention other places in Jingzhou for now, let’s talk about Jiangling and Public Security Bureau.

The Jiangling County Magistrate believed that the Battle of Gong'an was won by Da Sima when he was Mi Gong and the prefect of Nanjun, so it should naturally be recorded in Jiangling's county annals.

However, the Public Security County Magistrate believed that the Jiangling County Magistrate was too shameless. The Public Security War clearly took place in Gongan County, so how could it be included in the Jiangling County annals?

Because of this matter, the two county magistrates wrote letters to refute each other, and at one time this matter was brought into the court case."

After hearing Deng Zhi's explanation, Mi Yang was speechless for a moment.

Good guy, is this okay?

But when Mi Yang thought about the former residences of various porcelain celebrities in the future, he understood clearly.

After listening to these anecdotes from Deng Zhi, Mi Yang understood why there was such a carnival scene in Jiangling City.

The Chinese nation has always had a strong plot of local celebrities.

Think about future generations, if a top famous university student is born in a village, the village committee will beat gongs and drums to publicize this happy event.

As for if a national hero emerges, that would be even more extraordinary.

Not only the village will be beating gongs and drums, but the city will probably publicize it in a high-profile way and be proud of it.

What's more, what about yourself?

It can only be said that in some aspects, the Chinese nation is really the same.

Thinking of this, the smile on Mi Yang's face grew bigger and bigger.

Jingzhou valued him so much, so how could he reject it ignorantly?

As for Xuzhou...

Let’s talk about it after we recover it.

So Mi Yang sighed to Deng Zhi:

"Xiang Yu once said at that time: Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, but they are like walking in brocade at night.

Today I only know Xiang Yu!"

Mi Yang's exclamation fell into Deng Zhi's ears, which made Deng Zhi feel happy.

As the old saying goes, if you are in your position, you will do what you want, so Deng Zhi planned to write Mi Yang's exclamation into Jiangling's county annals.

...

The enthusiasm of the people in Jiangling City allowed Mi Yang to walk from the city gate to Zhendong General's Mansion for several hours.

When Mi Yang entered the Zhendong General's Mansion, the night had already turned dark.

Mi Yang originally wanted to take a good rest, but Deng Zhi suggested to Mi Yang and invited him to participate in the banquet prepared early tonight.

The people attending the banquet tonight are either civil and military officials in Jingzhou, or they are aristocratic families in Jingzhou.

From Deng Zhi's point of view, tonight's banquet is nominally to cleanse Mi Yang of his reputation, but in fact it has a political need to appease Mi Yang's people.

Mi Yang thought that he would use Jingzhou as his base for the eastern expedition in the future, so he agreed to Deng Zhi's suggestion.

So after Mi Yang washed up a little, he went to the banquet table under the leadership of Deng Zhi.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just as Deng Zhi said, when Mi Yang's figure appeared at the banquet, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou and the heads of the aristocratic families at the banquet all felt happy in their hearts.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that when he came to Jingzhou as Mi Yang, he was the de facto "emperor" of Jingzhou from then on.

There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Jingzhou who have never had in-depth contact with Mi Yang. Most of them know Mi Yang's character from hearsay.

Although Mi Yang has a good reputation among the people of Jingzhou, it does not mean that he will have the same attitude towards "meat eaters".

Don’t forget, the bloody night in Liangzhou has only passed a few years!

As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If they don't get in touch with and understand Mi Yang's character first, if they make any mistakes and offend Mi Yang in the future, wouldn't it be equivalent to extirpating themselves from the world?

Because of this concern in my heart, the atmosphere became particularly lively at the beginning of the banquet.

Everyone who was qualified to toast Mi Yang with wine stood up and toasted to Mi Yang with complimentary words.

In the face of everyone's toasts, Mi Yang tried his best to show a tolerant attitude and accepted them one by one.

Originally, if the banquet could continue in such an atmosphere, then tonight was destined to be a wonderful night.

It’s just that everything is prone to surprises.

When the banquet was in the second half, Mi Yang, who was slightly drunk, saw a strong man walking towards him holding a wine glass.

Although Mi Yang was drunk, he still recognized the person at a glance.

This person is none other than Chen Dao!

Chen Dao is currently one of the few remaining veterans of the Yuan Cong system in the Han Dynasty. His seniority and status are unmatched by Deng Zhi.

So at the beginning of the banquet, Chen Dao was the first person to propose a toast to Mi Yang.

But Chen Dao has obviously already made a toast, so why does he have to come over in person to toast a second time now?

Seeing that it was Chen Dao who was staggering towards her, Mi Yang quickly motioned to Ding Feng behind him to help him.

But when Ding Feng walked up to Chen Dao and wanted to help him, his hand was opened by Chen Dao.

Seeing this scene, Mi Yang, who was already surprised, could not help but narrow her eyes.

Mi Yang's location has always been the focus of the banquet.

Many people at the banquet also noticed Chen Dao's unusual behavior.

The people who could attend the banquet were all rare people. After they noticed the abnormality, they put down their wine glasses and watched the development of the situation.

For a moment, the originally noisy banquet became quiet.

Chen Dao and Mi Yang were not far away, and soon Chen Dao came to Mi Yang.

Perhaps due to the influence of drunkenness, Chen Dao sat directly under Mi Yang's seat.

Looking at Mi Yang who was so close, Chen Dao raised his glass of wine in his hand to apologize:

"I was unable to greet the Great Sima immediately today, and I hope that the Great Sima will forgive me."

Hearing Chen Dao's words, Mi Yang immediately laughed out loud, wondering what he thought was going on.

In fact, given Chen Dao's status, it should have been him who led the civil and military officials to greet him today.

But he didn't appear in the welcoming team today, not because he wanted to show off, but because today happened to be a big training day for Jiangling soldiers.

Chen Dao has a prudent personality, and he has never been absent from the big drill days for soldiers.

Because of this, Chen arrived today and did not greet Mi Yang immediately.

Mi Yang has known this for a long time, but in the face of such a dedicated veteran, Mi Yang has no time to respect him, so how can he be blamed?

"Uncle, you are serious!

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

Because of the important matter of military training, it is a matter of course that we mistakenly welcome the small matter, so why is my uncle guilty?"

Although Mi Yang's current status is extraordinary, Mi Yang has always respected the ministers of the Yuan Cong Department who worked hard with Liu Bei to start a business.

Mi Yang spoke to his uncle, which made him feel very comfortable.

The most important thing was that he had a preliminary understanding of the temperament of his nephew and chief minister.

Seeing this, I no longer have anything to hide.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he continued to talk to Mi Yang:

"If a general wants to interfere with the important affairs of the country because of a trivial matter of greeting him, what will the Grand Sima do?"

As soon as Chen said this, Mi Yang's face gradually turned cold.

He raised his head and looked around at everyone present, and then asked Chen Dao:

"who is it?"

Facing Mi Yang's inquiry, Chen Dao no longer hesitated. He put the wine glass aside, leaned over and bowed to Mi Yang:

"Former general, Li Yan!"
