By the time the banquet was over, the sky had darkened.
Wei Duan and his son left the hall and settled in the backyard of the county house. Wang Can was not in a hurry to summon a few people.
In the study room, the lights are brightly lit.
Wang Can drank a lot of drinks during the day and smelled of alcohol. After washing up, he sent someone to find Guo Jia and Fazheng. He looked at the two of them and said directly: "Looking at the situation today, it's not bad. What do you think?"
How about father and son?"
Fazheng said: "Wei Duan and Wei Dan are similar. They are both people who read poetry and books. As for Wei Kang, he is well behaved, calm and generous. He is a rare talent."
Historically, Wei Duan served as the governor of Liangzhou, and later Wei Kang took over Wei Duan's position and became the new governor of Liangzhou. Moreover, Wei Kang was also very famous in history. Kong Rong, the great Confucian at that time, said that Wei Kang's Yuancai was brilliant.
The evaluation of Wei Kang was very high. Taiwei Yang Biao also commented that Wei Kang was "the horse of Pleiades thousands of miles away", which was full of praise.
From this, we can see that Wei Kang is very capable.
Guo Jia continued: "I saw that Wei Duan and his party had more than a dozen carriages and servants and family members. They obviously planned to submit to the lord. I guess they also had the idea of going to settle in Chengdu, otherwise they would not have come with their families.
.”
Wang Can smiled and said: "That's it, I have nothing to worry about!"
Guo Jia and Fazheng looked at each other and smiled cheerfully.
…
In Wei Duan's bedroom, the oil lamp had already been lit.
Wei Duan sat cross-legged, his eyes passing over Wei Dan's body, a doting look flashing in his eyes. Immediately, he looked at Wei Kang again and asked in a deep voice, "Kang'er, we have had a brief contact with the King of Shu.
, what do you think?" Although Wei Duan was ready to submit to Wang Can, he still wanted to ask Wei Kang what he thought, because Wei Kang had his own opinion and was better than him.
"Dad, let me tell you first!"
Wei Kang said nothing, but Wei Dan interrupted.
Wei Duan did not feel dissatisfied and asked with a smile: "Dan'er, what do you think?"
Wei Dan said solemnly: "The King of Shu has a good temperament. It is most suitable for us to submit to the King of Shu."
Wei Duan said angrily: "Nonsense!"
At this time, Wei Dan had completely fallen in love with Wang Can, and Wei Dan was so excited thinking about going to Chengdu that he didn't know whether his surname was Wei or Wang. Although Wei Duan hated Wei Dan for ignoring political affairs.
, but he doted on him endlessly, because Wei Dan's obsession with learning was exactly the same as when he was young, and Wei Duan loved Wei Dan so much.
Wei Kang looked at Wei Dan and said seriously: "Second brother, if I were someone else, I would definitely be resentful towards you if I saw you suddenly interrupting."
Wei Dan said with a smile: "You are my eldest brother!"
Wei Kang shook his head and said: "On the one hand, because I am your eldest brother, but on the other hand, I know you and your character is like this, so it doesn't hurt. But after you arrive in Chengdu, you have to contact the great scholars in Chengdu.
You have a bad temper. You are like your father in everything, but your character has not learned anything from his calmness."
Wei Dan said: "Okay, okay, I will definitely pay attention to it."
Facing this young and mature elder brother, he found it even more difficult to deal with than Wei Duan.
Wei Kang shook his head secretly in his heart and said: "Father, I don't have much contact with Wang Can during the day, but I can see Wang Can's abilities through a glimpse. My son feels that Wang Can is smart and generous, so he can surrender with confidence."
Wei Duan was the governor of Liangzhou, but he was just a dish in Wang Can's eyes.
Facing Wang Can's powerful army, Wei Duan had no choice but to surrender.
But there are genuine surrenders and there are false surrenders.
Wei Duan got along with Wang Can during the day and admired Wang Can very much. Now seeing that Wei Kang's opinion was positive, he nodded and said: "In that case, we will move our family to Chengdu and prevent your mother from returning to Chang'an."
Wei Duan also brought his family and servants, ostensibly to submit to Wang Can, but he had two plans. The first was that everyone would follow Wei Duan to Chengdu and settle down in Chengdu. At the same time, Wei Duan also had another plan, that is
Wei Duan took Wei Dan to settle in Chengdu, while Wei Kang took Wei Duan's family back to Chang'an and established another family.
Now it seems that they are obviously planning to enter Chengdu together.
Wei Duan looked at Wei Dan with a kind face and said: "Dan'er, we are going to Chengdu without any foundation. You must not act arrogantly. You must learn more from your elder brother. Do you remember clearly?"
Wei Dan said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, my son will be spared."
Seeing Wei Dan's expression, Wei Duan didn't know what Wei Dan was thinking, so he immediately said sternly: "If you are disobedient, your father will lock you up at home after arriving in Chengdu, and he will not ask the King of Shu to introduce you to a great scholar."
.”
"ah!!"
Wei Dan exclaimed, his face turned bitter, and he nodded heavily.
Wei Duan glanced at Wei Dan with satisfaction, then looked at Wei Kang, and ordered: "You two brothers go to rest early. Tomorrow morning we will go to see the King of Shu, resign as the governor of Liangzhou, and go to Chengdu."
Wei Kang and Wei Dan nodded, got up and left Wei Duan's bedroom.
…
Early the next morning, Wei Duan took Wei Kang and Wei Dan to visit Wang Can.
In the hall, Wang Can sat on the main seat, while Wei Duan, Wei Kang and Wei Dan stood in the hall, looking respectful.
Wang Can asked: "Prefect Wei, is there anything important you need to do to see me so urgently?"
Wei Duan had already made plans in his mind and said slowly: "Duan has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, but has not made any achievements. Moreover, Liangzhou is rampant with bandits and has no ability to govern Liangzhou. Please ask the King of Shu to take over Liangzhou."
After a pause, Wei Duan said again: "Duan is willing to move his family to Chengdu, please accept the permission of the King of Shu."
After finishing speaking, Wei Duan looked at Wei Kang.
Immediately, Wei Kang took a step forward, took out two thumb-thick books from his wide sleeves, handed them to Wang Can respectfully, and said sincerely: "This is the tax and household registration of Liangzhou, please ask the King of Shu to check it.
.”
Wang Can did not refuse and directly accepted the two books presented by Wei Kang and placed them on the desk. However, Wang Can did not read them. Instead, he looked at Wei Duan and said with a smile: "Prefect Wei, Chengdu has a pleasant climate and a comfortable climate."
, it is indeed a good place to live. But you have no relatives or friends in Chengdu, is there any arrangement?"
These words made Wei Duan put forward conditions.
After Wei Dan heard this, his face showed excitement and he was eager to try.
He also knew that this was a formal occasion and could not be exceeded.
After Wei Duan heard this, he felt relieved. If Wang Can accepted the account books and household registration presented by Wei Kang without any indication, they would have no choice but to admit defeat. But Wei Kang once said that Wang Can would be generous, and it seems that it is true
So. Wei Duan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "My father and son have no relatives in Chengdu. Please ask the King of Shu to make arrangements."
Wang Can hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
After hearing this, Wei Duan and his son bent down slightly and waited for Wang Can's instructions.
Wang Can spoke slowly and calmly, and said: "Chief Wei comes from a well-known family and is a famous celebrity today. After arriving in Chengdu, he worked in the Ministry of Rites and followed Ren An to manage the affairs of the Ministry of Rites."
Wei Duan immediately bowed his hands and said loudly: "Thank you so much, King Shu!"
Wang Can nodded, looked at Wei Kang, and ordered: "Wei Kang is well behaved, calm and capable. He is a rare talent. Let's work with Cheng Yu for the time being."
Wei Kang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, King Shu!"
Before he came, he had already sent people to inquire about the civil servants and generals under Wang Can's command.
Cheng Yu, who is he?
Among the officials under Wang Can, Cheng Yu is undoubtedly the most respected. Wei Kang knows that Cheng Yu is highly respected and the most respected by Wang Can. If he works with Cheng Yu, as long as he can get Cheng Yu's favor, he will definitely have a bright future. Of course, the prerequisite
It is Wei Kang who needs to be capable enough to gain Cheng Yu's respect.
After Wei Duan heard this, he was also secretly excited, excited that his eldest son would have a good future.
At this time, only Wei Dan was left.
Wei Dan looked at Wang Can expectantly, with excitement on his face.
His father and brother both got their wish and got the most suitable arrangement. Now it was Wang Can's turn to arrange his whereabouts, and Wei Dan felt a little nervous for no reason.
