Chapter 634: Do you want to start your own business?
I couldn't wait to take a sip of the wine, as if a line of fire was burning directly from my throat to my stomach. Although the wine was only over 30 degrees, for those who had never drank it, it was already an absolute strong drink!
"Cool!"
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Fei's dark face, which was originally a bit ferocious, turned out to be a bit cute when he was intoxicated. However, no one laughed at him at this moment, mainly because there was no time, everyone was savoring the wine in the bowl.
After all, Wang Xuan was not given a chance to persuade him to drink. Dian Wei and Zhang Fei finished the bowl of wine in just a few sips, and then they could only watch helplessly as everyone took small sips and licked the corners of their mouths, looking pitiful.
He looked like an injured stray dog.
There is nothing to pity this kind of person. The main thing is that Wang Xuan doesn't have that much wine in his hand. This is not stingy. As I said, resources are scarce and there is no place to spend the money!
At the wine table, Liu Bei wanted to speak, but Wang Xuan stopped him. It wasn't until the servants had cut the mutton that they started chatting formally.
After a while of polite greetings, Liu Bei asked the question that had been pressing in his heart for a long time. How did Wang Xuan persuade Zhang Fujun?
"No one can escape the word fame and fortune while alive. For Zhang Miao, no matter what we talk about, the prerequisite is to keep his reputation. I believe you have heard some rumors in the past few days. Those are what I told Zhang Miao.
Give him a chance to keep his reputation and get closer, and naturally, we reached an agreement."
Liu Bei blinked and looked at Wang Xuan in disbelief. He had always thought that the story about Dong Zhuo's death was true. Wang Xuan and Zhang Miao only found out after they reconciled and communicated with each other. Now he heard Wang Xuan say this
Once he said it, he realized that the feelings were all fake!
Seeing Wang Xuan's smiling face, Liu Bei was at a loss for a moment. Zhang Miao was a famous scholar, and now he was telling lies. It really overturned his understanding of famous people. Aren't they supposed to be upright and unyielding?
"Mr. Xuande, you don't have to think so much. Are you here to participate in the princes' alliance?"
Liu Bei came back to his senses, nodded and said: "That's true. I was originally the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan. Now that the Han Dynasty is declining day by day, the Dong thieves have usurped power. As a descendant of the royal family, it is my duty to attack the Dong thieves."
The so-called Prince Jing of Zhongshan has no weight in Mi Zhu's eyes. The main reason is that Prince Jing of Zhongshan is too awesome. He has more than a hundred sons after so many years. His descendants are all over the Han Dynasty. People like Liu Bei will definitely not be able to enter the royal family tree.
There are countless people in the world, so what's so surprising about him? His status is no better than that of a humble scholar.
"Are you replacing Gongsun Bogui?"
"No, it's just the vanguard, with Senior Brother Gongsun leading the troops behind."
Wang Xuan nodded. Sure enough, nothing had changed. Thinking of this, Wang Xuan looked Liu Bei up and down, then scanned the three brothers back and forth, and suddenly said: "Do you want to appear independently as a prince on the altar of the alliance!"
The eyes of Liu Bei and the others suddenly lit up. Even Zhang Fei didn't care about the meat in his mouth. He swallowed it in one gulp and stared straight at Wang Xuan.
The three of them all have a desire to get ahead, otherwise they would not have become like-minded brothers. However, after so many years, they have made many contributions, but they have never had the opportunity to get ahead. Now, although Liu Bei holds the official position of Pingyuan Prime Minister, in fact, he has
There is no real power at all.
At this time, Gongsun Zan himself was the governor of Peiping. The so-called Prime Minister of Pingyuan, who Gongsun Zan was eligible to ennoble, including the so-called Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai, were all remote leaders. After all, Qingzhou was corrupt at this time, except for the Yellow Turban Thieves.
, there really aren’t many clean spaces left.
And Liu Bei himself was not a peaceful person. Although he lived under someone else's roof, he never called Gongsun Zan "lord" and always treated him as a senior brother.
"Please also ask Wang Sima for advice." Liu Bei immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Wang Xuan. This was very important to him.
"Actually, it's quite simple. All you need to do is establish your reputation as a royal clan member. Of course, you also need to have your own strength. The five hundred or so people you have in your hands now are too unsightly.
"Wang Xuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said lightly.
"Clan of the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei showed a wry smile. He also knew what happened with this name. He had been shouting it for a long time, but those high-ranking families didn't take it to heart at all. For a while, he was worried about the so-called Wang Xuan.
The advice was somewhat discouraging.
Liu Bei has not yet learned how to hide his joy and happiness, but Wang Xuan saw through his thoughts at a glance, "Do you think it's useless? Haha, that was before, but now, the name of the Han clan clan is useful!"
Liu Bei was a little confused, and everyone at the table was staring at Wang Xuan intently.
"Do you know why during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, you three brothers made many meritorious deeds but could not get any rewards?" Wang Xuan had a trace of ridicule on his lips.
Liu Bei and the other three shook their heads in silence.
"Not only the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but also the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the water here is deep and deep. Do you really think that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was started by the three Zhang Jiao brothers? Do you really think that Dong Zhuo can control the deposed affairs by himself?"
Wang Xuan's voice gradually became gloomy, and the eyes of everyone around him became sharper. Except for Mi Zhu, everything was closely related to these two things.
Whether it was the Yellow Turbans from Zhou Cang or the three Liu Bei brothers, they were all caught in this vortex, so they naturally wanted to hear what was going on from Wang Xuan's mouth.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion was driven by aristocratic families behind the scenes. The three Zhang Jiao brothers only rose to the top because they coincided with the meeting. Of course, Zhang Jiao did have the ability. As for the dethronement this time, it is even more ridiculous. Dong Zhuo is just
The disciples of the Yuan family are just old officials. The Yuan family specially recruited them to go to the capital this time, and even the time was specially arranged!"
Wang Xuan picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and continued: "The Yuan family, the Yang family and other aristocratic families have already established their presence in Luoyang long ago. Dong Zhuo, a newly arrived Liangzhou governor in Luoyang, has no roots in Luoyang. How could it be possible?
He has the strength to carry out the abolition of the establishment of a family. Without the nod of the Yuan family and the Yang family, he can compete with the entire Luoyang aristocratic family? Is it a fool's dream to really think that the fourth generation and the fifth generation are fake?"
"It's not just talk about having disciples and former officials all over the world. From Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, that person is not from the Yuan family, but the Yuan family did not expect Dong Zhuo to be so crazy. In addition, there are capable people behind Dong Zhuo.
, with a secret plan to defeat Chen Cang, he mobilized the entire army of Xiliang. He did not follow the rules of court fighting at all, and only knew how to speak arrogantly with swords, and then he was forcibly subdued. "
"Of course, firstly, the Yuan family and the Yang family are playing tricks on themselves, and secondly, the Yuan family has prepared a backup plan and is unwilling to confront Dong Zhuo head-on."
