In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou built Zhou City here. Because it was north of the Luoshui River, it was called "Luoyang" during the Warring States Period. The same was true during the Han Dynasty. It was only later that this place was called Luoyang.
However, this world is different from the original history, because Luoyang was already named when Liu Bang became emperor.
At this time, in Situ’s mansion!
Wang Yun looked at the letters from his family and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Grand Administrator of Nanyang, the appetite of the young clan leader is really quite big. The current Grand Administrator of Nanyang is Zhang Zi, who is a disciple of the Langya Wang family. If this matter is not handled properly, it may cause a dispute between the two families.
However, since the family can send such an order, it proves that the two lines have already discussed it, and what he wants to do will be promoted from there.
But now, Wang Yu led a small number of troops, went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and defeated their army. This was a real achievement. Even if the Yuan family wanted to object, they could not.
Besides, it’s not like he doesn’t have a handle on the Yuan family, it just depends on whether the Yuan family understands him or not.
The next day!
Wang Yun went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother He. No one knew what they said. However, in the morning of the next day, the Queen Mother He announced a decree, which was to appoint Wang Yu as the prefect of Nanyang.
Yuan Po strongly opposed the Queen Mother He's decree. After all, Nanyang County had a lot of foundations of the Yuan family. If it were to be handed over to the Wang family, Yuan Wei would naturally not be willing to do so.
Moreover, Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, is a disciple of the Langya Wang family. Now Wang Yu, the young patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family, has come over again. Once these two branches merge, will the Yuan family still have a foothold in Nanyang?
In this way, Wang Yun and Yuan Wei had a fierce quarrel.
Wang Yun directly brought up the matter of Zhao Kuangyin, and Yuan Wei was immediately speechless!
After all, Zhao Kuangyin was the son-in-law of the Yuan family, and he recommended him personally. Although Zhao Kuangyin had some credit for this, so was Wang Yu. If he opposed Wang Yun, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
In the end, Yuan Wei stopped talking, and Wang Yu became the governor of Nanyang.
However, it is not that Empress Dowager He did not compensate the Yuan family. Just like Yuan Wei's nephew Yuan Lin, this time he was directly transferred to Runan and served as the prefect of Runan.
Seeing that the governor of Runan was a member of his own clan, he asked Yuan Wei to give up.
However, Yuan Wei was not a loser. After the decree was issued, he ordered his family's masters to rush to Nanyang to cause trouble for Wang Yu, the young patriarch of the Wang family.
…………
…………
May of the sixth year of Zhongping!
Bingzhou, inside the Wang family's mansion!
The edict said: After investigation, Wang Yu, the son of Wang Teng, the head of the Wang family, was born in a famous family. He went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu a few days ago and defeated the enemy army. In order to promote the prestige of our Han family, Wang Yu of Taiyuan was specially appointed as the prefect of Nanyang and the general of the town army.
Hold the festival, wait in the pavilion of Wancheng, and receive a reward of one thousand taels!"
"Appreciate this!"
"I obey my emperor's will. Thank you, your majesty. Long live my emperor!" Wang Dian, the prefect of Taiyuan, and a group of officials from Taiyuan, knelt on the ground and shouted long live. Then he stood up and ordered people to respectfully accept the eunuch's hand.
He respectfully accepted the imperial edict.
As for Wang Teng, he naturally wouldn't come here to meet a mere eunuch. He doesn't have that much face!
Wang Yu, who stood up, couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "This reason is really..."
Wang Yu suddenly became drunk!
But it would be enough to take over the post of Nanyang Governor.
Wang Yu didn’t care about anything else!
Just when Wang Yu was having abdominal pain, the eunuch walked up to Wang Yu and said with a smile: "Prefect Wang, although this matter was recommended by Wang Situ in front of the Queen Mother, Eunuch Zhang also made great efforts.
Ah, I kept saying good things to you in front of His Majesty, so that you, the Grand Administrator, can successfully win this position. From now on, you must lead the troops well and share your Majesty's worries!"
At this time, Wang Yu also retracted his thoughts and glanced at the unnecessary eunuch in front of him, Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng, whose birth and death dates are unknown, appears in the first chapter of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
According to the romance records, in the last years of Guanghe period, the Yellow Turbans broke out all over the place, and the imperial court sent Zhonglang generals Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to lead troops to attack the Yellow Turbans.
At that time, Huangjin Zhangjiao's army of 150,000 people and Lu Zhi's army of 50,000 people gathered in Guangzong and fought several times with no victory or defeat.
Just when the imperial court sent Huangmen Zuo Feng to inspect the military situation, Zuo Feng asked Lu Zhi for a bribe, but Lu Zhi said: "There is still a shortage of military rations, and An has enough money to flatter the angels?"
Therefore, Zuo Feng held a grudge and after returning to the court, he accused Lu Zhi of deliberately holding back his troops and neglecting the morale of the army. This made Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty furious and sent General Dong Zhuo to replace General Lu Zhi.
Regarding this record, Wang Yu laughed inappropriately after seeing it.
Who is Lu Zhi?
A great scholar in China, with a very high reputation. Who the hell is Zuo Feng? He dared to ask for a bribe from him. Even his master Zhang Rang did not dare. The reason why Lu Zhi was removed by Liu Hong was actually because Lu Zhi turned out to be a scholar.
Farm disciples from hundreds of families.
The Yellow Turban Uprising at that time had hundreds of scholars behind it. How could Liu Hong dare to hand over the Han army to Lu Zhi with confidence? This is what happened next.
Although Lu Zhi seems to have been restored to his original position now, he basically has no real power, and Liu Hong will no longer reuse him. Zuo Feng also gained Zhang Rang's attention because of this incident and began to be reused.
The reason why Wang Yu knew these secrets was naturally because his father Wang Teng told him. As a contemporary Guiguzi, how could he hide these things from him.
Since it was Zuo Feng who came to announce the decree, it seemed that Zhang Rang wanted to win over him. Wang Yu smiled and said, "Of course, I will remember your Majesty's grace! I hope that in the future, Sir, I will be with you."
Please give me a few kind words in front of me, and I, Wang Yu, will be able to rely on Sir Zhang for support in the future!"
With that said, Wang Yu carefully handed the imperial edict in his hand to Yue Fei behind him, but he bowed to Zuo Feng and bowed. This is what he said, "I would rather offend the king of hell than the brat."
Zuo Feng was particularly happy that Wang Yu called him "sir".
As a disabled person, Zuo Feng has always had a scar in his heart. Although he has been fawned over by more and more people since he was valued by Zhang Rang, his status as a eunuch has made him feel inferior.
feel.
Wang Yu called him "sir" to his face, but it spoke to his heart. Immediately, Zuo Feng's affection for Wang Yu greatly increased, and he laughed loudly and said: "Sir Wang, please don't be polite, you and I will be different from now on."
We are all colleagues, and we should look after each other!"
Listening to Zuo Feng's laughter, Wang Yu also laughed. After a moment of greetings, Wang Yu did not take the initiative to see him off, but ordered Deng Jian to send Zuo Feng out of Jinyang City.
For a eunuch, it would be enough to give him a little face, but it would not be enough for him to send him off in person. Zuo Feng naturally knew his rank and naturally did not dare to complain!
Before leaving, Deng Jian secretly stuffed some jewelry into Zuo Feng according to the rules.
Zuo Feng did not refuse, but looked at Deng Jian, smiled meaningfully, and said before leaving: "This little brother, I would like to tell your family that his position as the general of the army is
Mr. Zhang gave it to me, I hope he can remember it!"
At the gate of Jinyang City, watching Zuo Feng's team slowly disappear from his sight, Deng Jian was carefully recalling Zuo Feng's words just now.
"It seems that Zhang Rang is betting on my young master."
