Chapter 31 Buying an Official

In a flash, more than ten days were spent. After the recapturing of Wancheng, the three armies began to rest. Those who should have received the merits also received the merits, waiting for the imperial court to reward them.

However, the imperial court did not wait for the reward, but a eunuch envoy was waiting for, a small yellow gate in the palace, named Chang Li, who brought the emperor's harsh reprimand, urging Zhu Jun and others to advance soon and eliminate the bandits in Nanyang as soon as possible!

The group was scolded to death, and the little yellow gate politely shouted arrogantly: "The emperor is very dissatisfied with your behavior. The original money to be paid for promotion was only 50%, but now you have to pay 80%!"

He suddenly looked at Zheng Xiaoming and said with a smile: "This time, you have the greatest military merits to pacify the Yellow Turban, and you will be promoted to a thousand stones directly. Then you will have to pay eight million yuan. Are you ready?"

In fact, the emperor Liu Hong said that there was a 50% discount, but now these eunuchs have to pay a 20% discount. It is impossible to ask where the extra part of them has gone!

Zheng Xiaoming avoided answering, but at night, Zheng Feng sneaked into the account of Changli. The two sides had a secret talk for more than half an hour, and finally bargained and sold for 6 million yuan.

Of course, there was another 300,000 yuan, which fell into the pocket of the little yellow gate Changli.

This made Chang Lile's eyes narrow and personally sent Zheng Feng away: "What a smart person! I wish there were such smart people in the world!"

Although Zheng Xiaoming did not participate in the last plundering of Wancheng, the capture of the war along the way also made his men's pockets full of money, and it was not difficult to spend millions of money to sell official positions.

What's more, there is the dowry of the Yinlinzi dowry.

However, what Zheng Xiaoming pursued was not a formal role as Sima Qianshi, but a filial and honest position.

With the position of filial piety and integrity, this is equivalent to being an official in later generations. It is a more formal way to become an official career than other ways, including military merits and officials.

However, he didn't expect that in two days, Chang Li suddenly came to the door with a smile on his face. When he saw Zheng Xiaoming, he said, "It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. The whole family doesn't know the family! The husband is from Nanyang and the arrogant son-in-law of the Yin family, why didn't he say it earlier? Oh, oh. This is a big misunderstanding!"

When Zheng Xiaoming was slightly stunned, he heard the Feng Li smile and said, "I am really from Zhuyang, Nanyang, too!"

These words made Zheng Xiaoming stunned. Damn, such a coincidence. Zhuyang is next door to Jun County, just a Han River.

The gift continued to speak, and said with a smile: "I am only separated from your county by water. I am a fellow villager, and there is no difference.

What's more, I am the subordinate of Zhang Gong, and Langjun Zheng is the arrogant son-in-law of the Yin family. We are really a family!

I didn’t know at first that I was so ashamed to death after taking Zheng Langjun’s money!”

As he said that, he waved his hand and wanted to return the money for the official purchase that Zheng Xiaoming paid.

Zheng Xiaoming's heart was shocked and he thought to himself, could it be that there was any connection between Yin and the Central General Zhang Rang?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible!

Deng Yin and other old noble families in Nanyang, which are the so-called old surnames in Nanyang, have long lost their political power.

Although Zhang Rang and the eunuchs were trusted by the emperor, they could be said to be windy and rainy at the central court level, but they must have allies in the local area.

In this way, the two sides have a foundation for cooperation. In addition, Zhang Rang and Yin are both from Nanyang, so it is very convenient to hook up!

Seeing Chang Li pretending to wave his hand, he asked someone to send back the money for Zheng Xiaoming to buy an official.

How could Zheng Xiaoming accept it? He smiled and said, "Guy Chang is polite! You and I are from the same hometown, of course, you should be closer. But the money to buy an official is what the emperor wants, and it is not what you want. Where can you come back? You can't let Guiren Chang pay you to buy an official for me, right?"

Chang Li looked at Zheng Xiaoming’s frankness and said that he had bought an official position on one hand, without any hiding intention.

Unlike others, who are obviously buying an official position, they still have to hide it, fearing that they will insult their elegance. They immediately became very fond of Zheng Xiaoming!

Of course, the most important thing is that Zheng Xiaoming refused to take back the money...

The eunuch has no queen and loves money the most. What he said just now was to return the money, but in fact he was bleeding in his heart.

Now seeing Zheng Xiaoming being generous, he immediately went down and no longer mentioned the matter of paying back the money. Instead, he patted his chest and promised that he would definitely help after he went back to ensure that he would do the job beautifully, which not only allowed Zheng Xiaoming to be filial and honest, but also helped Zheng Xiaoming to find a good official position.

Zheng Xiaoming was very happy when he heard this. Don’t underestimate Chang Li, the little yellow sect.

Many people feel that the little yellow sect is equivalent to a little eunuch or something, and they are just low-level eunuchs.

However, in fact, the level of Xiaohuangmen among the Hanting eunuchs is already quite good, probably equivalent to an intermediate level, and is also an intermediate cadre with real power.

Responsible for communicating inside and outside the palace, such as the communication between the monk's desk, etc. If you can hold this position, you will definitely not be able to have a relationship with the monk's desk without asking about it!

The Shangshutai is equivalent to the emperor's secretary team. Although the position is not high, it has great power.

As long as this Changli helps Zheng Xiaoming to move on the Shangshu Desk, it will definitely be no problem to get a good official position!

Sure enough, Chang Li did what he said. Not long after he returned, Zheng Xiaoming's filial piety and integrity were quickly approved by the court.

After pacifying the Nanyang Yellow Turbans, you can go to Luoyang to take the exam.

When the imperial edict came down, Zheng Xiaoming, together with various Han troops in Nanyang, surrounded the remaining Yellow Turban elites in a county called Xinye.

Although these Yellow Turban elites broke through Wancheng, they had nowhere to go for a while...

The Yellow Turbans on Ru Chen's side have been wiped out, and now Huangfu Song has led his army to the north to surround Julu.

And going south is the hinterland of Jingzhou. The Yellow Turban Army has no foundation there.

At this time, Han Zhong, who took over as the coach of the Yellow Turban Qu, was not very capable, at least not the kind of person with a lot of strategic vision.

He led more than 2,000 elite Han troops and finally broke out, but for a while, he didn't know where to go. After occupying Xinye, he stayed for a few days.

But he was caught up by the Han army and surrounded.

This time, facing the Han army surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, it is probably difficult for them to break through again.

However, this time, many troops, including Zheng Xiaoming, were spectators, and the stage for the performance was left to Sun Jian and Sun Wentai.

Zheng Xiaoming's mission this time was just to surround Wancheng, then make a feint attack and restrain it. At most, it would be to put a crossbow towards the top of the city from time to time!

In the last battle in Wancheng, the equipped cavalry of Sun Jian and Xu Yan undertook the most dangerous and difficult task, but there was not much oil and water interception task. Instead, Zheng Xiaoming and others easily occupied Wancheng.

So now this time, Zhu Jun has won Sun Jian the opportunity to take down Xinye and completely eliminate the Nanyang Yellow Turbans.

Who will listen to your boss who can't fight for benefits for his subordinates?
