Chapter 145: The gate of the mansion in Luoyang City (3)

It was already noon when Yuan Wei returned home from the palace and was hungry.

Zhang Ju's rebellion did not cause much erratic news. After all, the Taiping Road had just been pacified, and although there was still border chaos, the situation quickly stabilized after Dong Zhuo arrived in Liangzhou. At present, confrontation was in progress. Dong Zhuo reported to the court that he would launch a counterattack against the rebels at the latest in early March. The Hu people in the Sili area also retreated silently.

Whether it is Taiping Road or the chaos in the border areas, which one is not a turmoil of hundreds of thousands of people?

Zhang Ju was overestimating his own abilities. He thought he was self-righteous after capturing Youbeiping with 5,000 people. He really felt that he was the true emperor. Little did he know that in the eyes of the court officials, although Zhang Ju jumped happily, he was already a dry bone in the tomb.

The next thing is the struggle in the court.

For Yuan Wei, this is the focus he needs to pay attention to.

The eunuch temples are rampant and the unscrupulous exploitation of the surrendered Yellow Turban officers has made these people feel dissatisfied.

At the same time, it also increased the suppression of the imperial party members and sought bribes from Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun one after another.

Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun are both honest people, but they can be said to be honest and honest, so how can they offer money? Although Zhang Rang and others have no explanation, Yuan Wei is very clear, I am afraid that Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun will be in the end! Is there any meaning of the emperor in this?

The maid brought a bowl of deer jerky soup, which was fragrant.

Yuan Wei was about to have a meal, and the servant came to report: "The eldest son and the second son are here!"

"Oh? Please!"

Yuan Wei hurriedly signaled the beautiful maid to remove the meat soup. After a while, Yuan Shao and a young man walked into the study.

"Benchu, highway, why do you two have time to come to me today? He Suigao is too leisurely."

There is a joking scent in these words.

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "He Suigao was ordered to enter the palace. I guess he won't bother us again today."

The thin young man sat on the Taishi chair with his butt, twisted his body twice and said, "Uncle, this thing is so comfortable to sit. After you have sat here, I feel uncomfortable no matter how I sit back... Hehe, I didn't expect that the good family in Liangzhou had such skills. I found someone to imitate one, but I always felt that it didn't taste that way."

When Yuan Wei heard this, he laughed, and his worries suddenly decreased a lot.

The young man was the legitimate son of the old Yuan family, named Yuan Shu, with the name of "Biaolu". He was younger than Yuan Shao and had served under Zhu Jun's tent. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, Yuan Shu was transferred to the capital and is now the captain of Luoyang City Gate.

Yuan Gonglu is quite talented, but he is a little frivolous, which makes Yuan Wei not very flirtatious.

In comparison, Yuan Wei still prefers Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao is just the eldest son of a concubine.

The furniture in the study was a gift sent by someone from Dong Qi.

As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare. Besides, this thing is comfortable and practical. Let’s talk about the bookshelf designed by skilled craftsmen, which is much more grand than the shelf built with the original boards.

It is said that there are only ten sets of this kind of furniture in the entire Luoyang City.

There is one set in the General's Mansion, and one set in the Dong family's mansion in Yingchun Gate. Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong probably also asked for two sets from Dong Qi, and there was also the General of the Cavalry Lu Zhi, who was also given one set. The remaining four sets of furniture were said to be given to Cai Yong, while the other three sets were gifts to be presented to the emperor, and no one could use them.

Yuan Wei had been worried about these sets of furniture for some time.

It is normal for He Jin and Cai Yong to have their own tricks.

But Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Lu Zhi...

Lu Zhi is now neutral and is a standard imperial party. But I heard that his student seemed to be labeled as a traitor because of Dong Qi's affairs. There is something strange about it. It is probably because Dong Qi wanted to make up for his feelings, so he sent it?

Yuan Wei quickly untied this knot in his heart. After all, in his eyes, Lu Zhi did not have any threat.

But Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong also have a set of furniture...

Is the Dong family wanting to step on two boats? Or is there any connection between them and the eunuch temple?

But if there is a connection, there is no need to bribe so blatantly. This set of furniture has a good market value.

If they had nothing to do with each other, Yuan Wei would not believe it.

Later, Xun Shuang's words dispelled his suspicion.

"Duke Yuan, the eunuch is trusted by the emperor, and now he is arrogant. If they really want to make things difficult for someone, even if there is a general and we stop it, it is unlikely. Especially in Luoyang City, who dares to disobey them? Can the Dong family resist? Can the Dong family resist? Can he refuse? Hehe, since he blatantly gives gifts, it may be a way to express his feelings to us. It is impossible for people with a clear conscience to do this. Don't forget that we are also giving in to the eunuch... Even we have no choice. What can a mere Dong family do?"

Think about it, that's the same.

I still trust Xun Shuang very much because he was once a party member.

Yuan Wei relieved his suspicion and left this matter behind his mind. He heard Yuan Shu praise his furniture and felt very proud.

"By the way, what has the Dong family been doing recently?"

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do... That kid is such a prodigal son. He has a good house. He has been transformed into a martial arts training ground. He practices all day long. The neighbors are in a miserable way, but they dare not go over and talk. Uncle, the kid has a good way of training. Although I didn't go in, it can be seen from the guards in front of the door that he is well-trained."

Yuan Shu sneered coldly, "Brother is too complimenting the Dong family. No matter how capable he is, he is just a child, training soldiers... I think it's almost the same trick. That kid took your position as a military officer, and you are not angry?"

"What's the point of being angry about? As long as it's good for the Yuan family, why can't I bear to bear?"

Yuan Wei felt very pleasant to hear this.

"Benchu's mind is indeed broad, so you have to learn more from Benchu's roads."

Yuan Shu has always looked down on Yuan Shao, and he was immediately unhappy when he heard this. But he couldn't express anything in front of Yuan Wei, so he just snorted.

"Has He Suigao not let him take over the generals of the General's Mansion?"

"No... I guess the general is worried about the Dong family... But that's fine, just let the Dong family have a name. If I really give him the military power, I'm really worried that the boy will anger the general."

Yuan Wei thought for a while, "What else has he been doing besides training troops recently?"

"It's nothing. Apart from visiting Cai Yong's mansion, he basically didn't go out much. Cai Yong returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors before the New Year, and that boy did not see Cai Yong. Judging from his observations during this period, there should be no threat."

"That's good……"

Yuan Shu suddenly sat upright, "Uncle, I heard that Cai Boyi was not just for returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors."

"oh?"

"I heard that Cai Boyi's daughter went home a year ago."

"But then Cai Zhaoji went home?"

“That’s right!”

Yuan Shao rarely inquired about these things and asked in confusion: "Didn't the daughter of the Cai family marry the Wei family in Hedong? What's that guy's name? He seems quite talented... Oh, Wei Zhongdao... Highway, how do you know about this?"

"Wei Zhongdao? I have said that boy long ago, he is a short-lived ghost."

Yuan Shu curled his lips and sneered: "It was not long after Cai Boyi's daughter married, and Wei Zhongdao died. It is said that the old Wei family... Hehe, you also know that the old man in Weixing has always had the habit of crawling into the dust. It is probably... Not long after Cai Boyi's daughter came back, Cai Boyi took her back to Chenliu. It is estimated that she will be back in April and May at the earliest."

"Can the people from Lao Wei's family let her come back?"

"Of course I won't let it go." Yuan Shu seemed particularly excited when he mentioned this kind of thing. He said enthusiastically: "I heard that Cai Boyi's daughter escaped. The old Wei family sent someone to chase him, but none of them went back. Even Wei Zheng from the old Wei family was killed. I guess Lao Cai was also trying to take refuge."

Yuan Shao frowned, "Are you talking about Cai Boyi's daughter who killed Wei Zheng?"

"I didn't say that..."

Yuan Shu replied unhappily: "It's just that Wei Zhen is really dead. It took a few months before Old Man Cai's daughter came home."

Yuan Wei asked, "Highway, where did you ask about this news?"

"Hehe, I bribed Lao Cai's door, what he told me."

Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao were even more confused, "What are you doing to bribe Lao Caitou's disciples? What are you trying to find out about these things?"

Yuan Shu lowered his head embarrassedly, "Uncle, my nephew actually has something to ask for help from my uncle. I heard that Old Man Cai's daughter is not only talented, but also beautiful. I want to ask my uncle to come over and talk about her and be a matchmaker for me."

"What...what should your wife do?"

Yuan Shu said: "I can marry the old man Cai's daughter as a concubine... Anyway, I am also a widow."

"Nothing!"

Yuan Wei grabbed the pen holder and smashed it at Yuan Shu. Fortunately, Yuan Shu was quick and he could dodge his eyes.

"You can marry her as a concubine. Have you ever thought about whether Old Man Cai would agree? Don't say that Cai Zhaoji is just a widow. Even if she married three or four times, she would still become bigger, not as a concubine. If I came to the door to say this, Old Man Cai would probably chop me all over the street with a knife. Don't even think about this, do you understand?"

Yuan Shuxin said unwillingly, and then whispered: "Or, I will divorce my wife and marry Cai Zhaoji as my wife."

"Nothing..."

Seeing that there was nothing on the table, Yuan Wei was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed: "Your wife is the wife your father set up for you back then. She is not only a royal family, but also a prominent family in Yangzhou. If you divorce her, you will definitely annoy the Yangzhou clans. The consequences... I have told you a long time ago that you should learn from your brother and don't be careless every day and do not do your job properly."

The old man is really angry!

Yuan Shu was so scared that he dared not say anything again.

After his anger calmed down a little, Yuan Wei thought for a while, "Benchu, someone would still be able to stare at the Dong family's affairs. As for Old Man Cai, he is very clear now, so we should not cause trouble for him. This old guy's anger is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that he slapped the table with the emperor last time. He looked like he was getting older and he became stronger and he was so angry that he would not mess with him."
