Chapter 983 I have something to do with Kuai Liang
After Du Xi agreed with a smile, he bowed his head and said: "Du Xi, a humble official, pays homage to the lord."
As his identity changed, Du Xi's name for Wang Can also changed accordingly.
Wang Can smiled and asked Du Xi to sit down, and said slowly: "Zixu, you have just entered the Kingdom of Shu. It is impossible for me to immediately let you take an important position. Moreover, the rule of the Kingdom of Shu is that talented people should be sent to other places."
As an official, starting from a small county magistrate in a county can give you a platform to display your talents. If you have the ability, you will definitely be able to rise to the top step by step. If you can't manage even one county well, it only means that I don't have enough eyesight and have made a mistake.
Man. So if you submit to me, you can only start as a county magistrate, so you must be mentally prepared."
After the words fell, Wang Can looked at Du Xi.
This arrangement is an exercise and a test to see what Du Xi's mentality is like.
If Du Xi directly wanted to serve as an important official, Wang Can would definitely not agree.
A person who is very ambitious, even if he is full of poems and books, has talents and talents, Wang Can will definitely suppress him, because what Wang Can needs is a humble and pragmatic person.
After hearing Wang Can's words, Du Xi said sincerely: "I have just entered the Shu Kingdom with a humble position. I have not made any achievements. Being able to serve as the magistrate of a county is already like walking on thin ice. I dare not show any slightest care. If the Lord entrusts him with an important task, Xi will not be able to do it."
Convincing the public cannot fully express one's ambitions, but it is not beautiful. Being a county magistrate is just the right thing."
Historically, Du Xi also surrendered to Liu Biao first.
Originally, Liu Biao and Du Xi met each other, and they were like old friends. Liu Biao was also planning to appoint Du Xi as the head of a county.
But in history, Cao Cao's family was the dominant one, and Du Xi was from Yingchuan, so he came from it. After hearing Liu Biao's idea, Cai Mao immediately admonished Liu Biao, saying that after Du Xi became the county magistrate, he might turn to the enemy in the event of a war.
Cao Cao.
Liu Biao had a weak ear and changed his attention as soon as he heard it.
In this way, Du Xi was not reused and was just an ordinary diner, and finally left Liu Biao sadly.
Du Xi defected to Cao Cao and was immediately appointed magistrate of Xi'e County.
During the period when Cao Cao was in power, Du Xi successively served as the county magistrate of Xi'e County, Yilang, military sacrificial wine minister of the Prime Minister's Office, minister in charge, chief historian of the Prime Minister's Office, and Prince Consort Commander, rising step by step without any stagnation.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Pi, Du Xi served as the military governor, grain censor, minister, and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei and Marquis of Wupingting in Jin Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming Dynasty, Du Xi served as the military advisor of Cao Zhen and Sima Yi. Later, he was promoted to Taizhong Dafu and was granted the title of Marquis of Pingyang Township in the Jin Dynasty. Such a person can be said to be a dragon who changes in every situation. He is a late bloomer and has very strong abilities.
Chen Shou commented that Du Xishuo was 'the most beautiful person in the world', which shows that Du Xishuo was respectful, humble and convincing.
Wang Can felt relieved after hearing Du Xi's words.
To be able to say this, Du Xi must be a pragmatic person.
Du Xi asked: "May I ask my lord, when will I enter Shu?" He surrendered to Wang Can, and naturally he had to agree on a date for entering Shu. Because the Du family could not continue to stay in Xiangyang, they had to make plans as soon as possible.
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately picked up the pen and paper from the desk, quickly wrote an order, stamped it with his own seal, handed it to Du Xi, and said: "Take the Du family and the young ones directly to Chengdu.
When you arrive in Chengdu, take this order to visit Cheng Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and he will arrange a position for you. After taking office, work hard and don't let down your talents."
"promise!"
Du Xi received the order and was very excited.
He has done so much, isn't he just looking forward to becoming an official and supporting the backbone of the Du family?
At this moment, Du Xi's eyes were even moist, and he felt like he was filled with tears.
Wang Can thought for a while and then asked: "Zixu, when you tell the people that you are moving to Chengdu, you must not reveal the news about me in Xiangyang. This matter must be kept secret. However, you can say that you met me in the city.
I arranged for someone in Xiangyang to introduce you to Chengdu, so that you can have a reason to persuade your tribe."
Du Xi said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Bi Zhi understands that when Bei Zhi goes home to persuade his clan members, he will not reveal the whereabouts of my lord. Please rest assured, lord."
Wang Can nodded and said: "That's good. The news that you were expelled from Xiangyang by Liu Biao has spread a long time ago. I guess your family has also gotten the news and will definitely be a little panicked, so I won't let you stay here. While it's a good idea,
While there is still a little moonlight in the sky, you should go home early to appease the tribe and prepare to move to Chengdu."
Du Xi cupped his hands and said, "I have resigned from my humble position."
After finishing speaking, Du Xi stood up and left the thatched cottage briskly.
After he walked out of the thatched cottage, he took a deep breath, looked up at the sky where only a trace of moonlight was hidden in the clouds, and endless pride arose in his heart.
Liu Biao didn't use him, but someone was willing to reuse him.
…
In Xiangyang City, Liu Mansion.
After the leading servant came back with the other nineteen servants, they all knelt in the hall, trembling and frightened. Even though they were showing off their power in front of other people, they were very majestic, but after entering the Liu Mansion, they were Liu Xin's subordinates.
A dog, even worse than a dog, could only be ravaged by Liu Xin.
Liu Xin sat at the top of the hall and asked: "So many people have bruises and faces, what is going on?"
He was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
The leading servant immediately explained the pursuit of Du Xi in detail, describing Shi A as brave and invincible, similar to a sword fairy, and also said that there were people secretly helping Du Xi. After that, he described himself
He expressed his speculation and said: "Master, do you think Kuai Liang secretly sent someone to protect Du Xi and escort him out of Xiangyang?"
"Kuailiang??"
After Liu Xin heard this, he lightly knocked on the desk.
The steward continued: "Sir, when Du Xi left the city, Kuai Liang wanted to invite Du Xi to a banquet at Kuai's mansion, but Du Xi refused directly. You also said that Kuai Liang admired Du Xi very much. I think it might be Kuai.
Well made.”
Liu Xin nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. If Kuai Liang hadn't taken action, he wouldn't have just injured you, but killed them directly. Well, it must be someone sent by Kuai Liang. He didn't want to tear you apart."
It was shameless, so I just sent people to protect Du Xi from leaving, and didn’t do anything to kill anyone."
After a pause, Liu Xin continued: "Perhaps Kuai Liang warned me not to cause trouble to the King of Chu. Although Du Xi was an abandoned son thrown away by the King of Chu, he was crippled and had no influence on the King of Chu.
not good."
What the leading servant wanted to see most was this situation, and he immediately kowtowed and said: "The master of the family is wise!"
The other servants also kowtowed and said, "The master of the house is wise!"
After Liu Xin heard this, a joking smile appeared on his face, and he ordered in a cold voice: "I am indeed very wise, and I have clear rewards and punishments. But you are all stupid. You haven't even succeeded in beating anyone. You are a bunch of trash. Get out of here.
Go out and receive the punishment of twenty sticks. If I find that you are missing one stick, all of them will be doubled."
The servants dared not speak out when they were angry, so they had no choice but to accept the punishment honestly.
…
Xiangyang City, Hero Tower.
After many years, Wu Huang has reached middle age, and his temples have become weathered.
He wore a light blue robe and sat cross-legged.
Below Wu Huang, stood a man wearing black clothes with a long sword hanging from his waist. This man had a cold expression and looked very serious. This man was a swordsman trained by Wu Huang and worked specifically for the Hero Building.
Wu Huang asked: "Have you investigated clearly the affairs of Sun Qian and Zhuge Liang?"
The swordsman immediately said: "Sir, Zhuge Liang's affairs have been investigated clearly, and we have also received more important news. In addition to Sun Qian, there is another person in Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage. It is speculated that he may be Liu Bei. However, this person has been hiding He rarely shows up in the thatched cottage, so it is just speculation without any real evidence."
Wu Huang raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "It is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true. This matter is very important."
He thought about it carefully and then ordered: "Okay, you go down and continue to monitor Zhuge Liang's movements. At the same time, keep an eye on Sun Qian so that no one will discover him."
"promise!"
The swordsman replied and left immediately.
After the swordsman left, Wu Huang wrote the message on a piece of paper and used a carrier pigeon to send the message. Not long after, a carrier pigeon flew up from the Hero Building, left Xiangyang City, and flew towards Lumen Mountain.
