40. The forest is so big that you can see all kinds of birds
"I didn't expect these guys to actually get together. Do you really think we don't know anything?"
In the dark study room, Zhang Xiu's voice echoed in this not-too-big room. Speaking of which, this prefect's mansion still remains the same as it was before Li Shushi left. It seems that all subsequent owners like it very much.
Although there are some personalized changes according to the taste of the hotel, the overall layout and scenery are still Su Xiaololi’s original work.
However, compared to the study room in Li Shushi's time, the current one is really incompatible with the name of the study room. Not only are there not many books or calligraphy and paintings on the bookshelf, but various weapons that look very exquisite can be seen everywhere. This also makes the original through.
The room with an elegant atmosphere suddenly became chilly, and it seemed even more eerie in such a dark night.
Zhang Xiu sat in such an environment with his eyes closed and exuding the same aura as the surroundings, as if he were a prairie wolf waiting for prey. Although the excuse on the surface was that he was too drunk and wanted to sober up alone here, but
The personal guards who are familiar with him know very well that their general or should now be called the prefect is not someone who gets drunk easily.
"For the gentry, this is their best opportunity to seize power. After all, even if Dou Wu was a relative, Chen Fan only had a cooperative relationship with him, and it was still in Cao Jie. Wang Fu and others had huge
Cooperation under pressure, even if they succeed, I'm afraid even they themselves don't have much confidence in whether the nobles can really get what they want."
Suddenly, a steady voice appeared in this quiet room that made people feel "empty".
"Why are you telling me this? You should be one of them. Why would you easily agree to that request and come here? Yuan Benchu's world is not the same space for you to display, no
, maybe with your family background, you can achieve higher achievements in that kind of environment."
"Yuan Benchu's world? A good friend of mine who has been with us for many years is working as a minor official under Han Jizhou. He wrote to me: Shao Fan is very polite, generous on the outside and taboo on the inside. Because of his long-term talent, he talks and bows to gain reputation.
, there are many people who return with good words and pretense. If there were no more people in the world,
An outstanding person may be able to achieve immortality by leveraging his accumulated talents. With such skillful writing, do you think Yuan Benchu has no rivals in the world? When I was in the capital, I heard people say that my lord has the ability to "know people".
Presumably my lord has also discussed this matter."
With the sound of this voice, a tall figure walked to the center of the room from somewhere and chose a back chair and sat down. Well, this kind of furniture is obviously a "major" invention of Li Shushi's children's shoes.
However, although he heard the footsteps of the other party, Zhang Xiu did not open his eyes, as if he knew that the figure had already existed in the study. Moreover, a third voice soon sounded in the room:
"I haven't said a word sincerely after talking for a long time. Let me tell you something. Yuan Benchu is already surrounded by talents but not your family, so it would be good to choose a prince who can display his talents. What's more?
Once Yuan Benchu loses the world, who will win and who will lose when the world is in chaos?
, who will rise and who will sink is unknown. If our power takes over the world, then won’t we become a new aristocratic family? Just like Fan Kuai, who was just a butcher in the early Han Dynasty, Xia Houying, who was just a driver, and just a petty official.
Xiao He. If the world is not in chaos, who would know that they have the ability to become the pillars of a country?"
"Well, there will definitely be more than one envoy sent by Yuan Shao, Zhao Yan. I'm afraid they won't let go of the Baibo thieves either. Niu Fu was already tortured by them back then, so it's impossible for Yuan Shao to let go of such a useful chess piece.
, then we are actually being attacked from both sides. Now the Lord is in the river
We are facing a confrontation with Yuan Shao, and we must not cause chaos here. However, although we have mastered some things, they are not fatal, so the two seniors think how we should act so that there will be no major turmoil in Hedong, and we can once again
Catch all those with evil intentions."
"Catch them all in one fell swoop? Wen Qiao is impatient. Aren't you also a strong man from Wuwei? Don't you still understand how a strong man survives? Don't forget, we are the ones running this place now, not Yuan Shao or Dong Zhuo.
"
The old voice sounded again. Although the tone of the senior expert made people a little bit uncomfortable, but the other party should be an old guy in his fifties or sixties. Maybe it is not too bad for the other party to use such a tone.
Too rude.
"I always feel that these words sound familiar." Zhang Xiu's complaint made the whole room gasp, and then two sounds sounded in the darkness, as if he was trying his best to suppress his own squeaking sounds. Hmm.
, even in a completely dark environment, it seems that you can feel the soreness caused by your shoulders shaking at an abnormal frequency.
But in fact, this shouldn’t be the point. The point is how the two guys in such a dark room where you can barely see your hands and fingers can accurately find a chair to sit on without making a little noise. Could it be that these two people were born in the year of cats or...
Ghostly?
Ahem, I feel like continuing the discussion will involve some very strange settings, so I’ll forget it.
"Ahem", Zhang Xiu had to cough to calm down his mood, and then continued to ask: "In that case, what should we do? With the attitude of those guys towards us, I'm afraid they will be a disaster after all.
"
"There will always be opponents, but you can't completely destroy them because of this, right? You have to know that those powerful people often represent the people of a village or even a township, let alone the powerful families related to them. This big network is not
It can be broken easily. Unless you have conclusive evidence or enough
Reason, otherwise it will only make the people feel uneasy and even cause more unrest. In the past, the King of Chuzhuang spared a general who molested his concubine during a banquet. Later, when the King of Chuzhuang was besieged, the general vowed to fight to the death.
, so whether it is killing or releasing, it is not the purpose, it is ultimately for the stability of Hedong."
"Xiu, I've learned a lesson. But how do you two think Xiu should handle this matter?"
"Two choices. One is to only get rid of the culprit, and seek the effect of knocking down the mountain and shaking the tiger. The other is to arrest a few families that have a certain influence but are not the most influential, and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. But the specific choice depends on Wen Qiao, after all.
You are the governor of Hedong
.But if you are really not sure, you can give our lord a discount, but I think the consequences of doing so, Wenqiao, must be very clear to you. How to choose depends entirely on your thoughts, we are just
Just a reminder."
"Report!" Just as the old voice finished speaking, the voice of Zhang Xiu's soldiers came from outside the study. The voice seemed a little anxious, which made Zhang Xiu, who had just fallen into deep thought, feel a little at a loss.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiu replied coldly.
After all, I have been in the military for many years and I still have the most basic coping skills, so I didn’t show any panic in my answer.
This kind of performance also made the two figures sitting in the darkness quite sure, and they were also secretly sure of Li Shushi's decision. Although Zhang Xiu had not been exposed to local affairs before, he was not a fool, and he got started quickly.
, even if there are some things that he doesn’t understand, he can understand them with a little guidance. It can be said that he is fully capable of growing into a good friend of Lee Seo-sil.
"Back to the general, there is a young man outside the prefect's house. He claims to be from Jia's house. He has important matters to meet with the general."
"Interesting, interesting. We were discussing just now, and here comes an opportunity."
The voice that had always been very calm before now showed a little excitement, and this also made Zhang Xiu immediately understand the possible purpose of the visitor, and his face immediately showed a slightly excited look, and his tone was higher than usual.
a little:
"Please come quickly!"
Naturally, when meeting outsiders, I can no longer stay in this "haunted house" study room that looks like a laboratory where the legendary model on campus not only runs away but also smiles at you.
So when the young man appeared in the reception hall of the Hedong Prefecture, he saw three sanctimonious (is this word really appropriate) guys? One of them was very familiar to him. He was the governor of Hedong, Zhang Xiu.
.Although the old man on both sides of him and the handsome guy between young and middle-aged have never met before, his intuition tells the young man that the other person is not a guy to be trifled with, and the other person has an elegant aura.
He had only seen it in those great scholars.
"Jia Kui of Xiangling has met the prefect. I apologize for disturbing you late at night."
Although it was not clear who the two strangers who appeared next to Zhang Xiu were, and they seemed to be ordinary people, Jia Kui did not show any expression, but still saluted respectfully. But in his heart
It's not clear what he was planning at this time, but maybe you can guess something from his eyes gradually becoming more solemn.
"Are you Jia Kui?"
However, contrary to Jia Kui's expectation, Zhang Xiu did not take the initiative to ask him about his purpose, but instead became more curious about him.
Of course Jia Kui would not think that there was something wrong with Zhang Xiu's orientation or that he was a philosophy enthusiast, but he was interested in him, who had not yet been crowned and was just a minor official in Anyi County with no affiliation.
That in itself is enough to make people suspicious.
"Have you heard of me, Lord Prefect?"
I don't know why, when Jia Kui saw the two strangers on both sides of Zhang Xiu, he felt that the information he was about to reveal was of little use. Although he felt a little distrustful in his heart, Jia Kui
Kui was not as anxious now as before, but instead raised his own questions to Zhang Xiu.
"Well, my lord once said that the most sage among the scholars in Hedong is Jia Jialin'er..."
Well, if Jia Kui had been relatively calm just now, then Zhang Xiu's words made him freeze right there.
