After consulting Jia Xu's opinion, Wei Xuan basically made a decision in his heart. In the next few days, He Yong and Cao Cao came to visit one after another. Even Yuan Shu sent someone to explain what happened outside the rouge shop that day, and

Offer twenty gold pieces as compensation. These twenty pieces of gold

It was the money that Wei Xuan sent people to fish out more than a hundred gangsters from Yin Dalao in Henan on the second day. Those gangsters were thrown away after Yuan Shu had finished using them. In the end, Wei Xuan spent money to redeem them. After these people came out

One by one, they knelt in front of Wei Xuan's mansion and asked to do things for Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan selected a few smart ones to stay with him, and asked the people from Baihutang to select some. The remaining thieves gave them some money and allowed them to continue wandering around the streets of Luoyang.

Then a piece of good news came from Anyi, about the Wei family and Dong Zhuo. Since they had dealt with each other several times before, the two sides were still on friendly terms. Now Hedong and Dong Zhuo's army live in peace, and the Wei family uses grain and grass to continue to buy from Dong Zhuo.

Xiliang

War horses. And Yang Feng secretly sent him, Li Le and Hu Cai's wife and children to Anyi, completely turning to the Wei family. The military strength of the entire Hedong was stronger than that of any county or even Henan Yin. I want to come to Yu Husband

Luo won't look for discomfort anywhere.

In this way, even if Wei Xuan is not in Luoyang running for Hedong, Hedong should have no worries for the time being.

Next, it was time for He Jin to exert his power. He and Yuan Shao reached a consensus again. The imperial court appointed Bao Xin as the cavalry captain and Wei Xuan as the bandit commander. They went to Yanzhou and Yuzhou respectively to recruit troops to prepare for the bandits.

Wei Xuan had expected that he and Bao Xin would go out at the same time, but it was really beyond Wei Xuan's expectation that he would be directly promoted from Yilang to the thief-fighting captain of Bi Erqianshi. Although this motley crew of thief-fighting captains could not get along with him.

Compared with the Eighth School of Xiyuan, I am still the captain of the school, and I have made a lot of determination on where to go.

Because he had been promoted to Bi Erqianshi and happened to be in Luoyang, Wei Xuan needed to meet the emperor alone. Originally, Wei Xuan expected the emperor to be wise once in a while, but then based on himself, Wen Xuan could not believe that he would be tempted to do his best to extend the life of the great man.

However, it turns out that Wei Xuan thought too much!

When Wei Xuan was led by the palace people to the palace where the emperor usually rested, the thirty-six-year-old emperor still looked tired and sleepy. It looked a bit distressing, but Wei Xuan

Xuan knew that he was drunk and debauched, so he had no sympathy for him at all.

Although the emperor was in poor condition, his attitude towards Wei Xuan was more enthusiastic than the reward in the court, and he also asked about Wei Su and the Wei family. Wei Xuan naturally expressed his gratitude again and again.

What surprised Wei Xuan was that the emperor finally seemed to remember what Wei Xuan did in Hedong. To be fair, Wei Xuan was not as good as Cao Cao in age, but he completely surpassed him in terms of military merit. After all, when he was a postal supervisor, he tried his best to fight for Taiping Road.

After the Baibo Army uprising, they cut off the development route of the rebels as soon as possible, and finally controlled the rebellion within a few counties in the northeast of Hedong.

As for the suppression of bandits in Xingyang, it goes without saying that there were many well-informed people who told the emperor the actual situation.

Therefore, the emperor was very generous this time. He not only recognized the candidate recommended by He Jin and Yuan Shao, but also gave young Wei Xuan a thief-fighting captain worth two thousand dan, and also specially rewarded two fine war horses.

Although the emperor had many good horses, and he himself basically had no use for them, not many people could get horses as rewards from the emperor. This at least proves that the emperor recognized Wei Xuan's military merits.

When Wei Xuan came out of the palace, he was very happy when he saw two war horses, because these two batches of war horses could be compared with the Snow-Taking Wuzui and Liaoyuanhuo given to him by Yuv Luo. Although Wei Xuan did not understand the relationship,

Horse, but I heard from the young eunuchs that it was a purebred sweat-blooded horse from Dawan! Although Wei Xuan did not completely believe it, he did not dare to refuse the emperor's reward.

Wei Xuan had enough Tuxue Wuzui, so he also selected these two horses. One was given to Uncle Han, and the rest was used to win over the fierce generals from Bingzhou who followed him to Yuzhou to recruit troops.

Soon He Jin sent accurate news to Wei Xuan. Zhang Yang and Gao Shun returned to Bingzhou to recruit troops quietly, only with the general's orders. Following Wei Xuan to Yuzhou was Zhang Liao! Ding Yuan's men

Everyone is easy to use, Zhang Liao is the best! Wei Xuan can't wait to meet Zhang Liao. Wei Xuan has also thought about getting along well with Zhang Liao in the next few months, hoping to abduct Zhang Liao after He Jin dies.

.

Before the imperial edict came down, Yuan Shao held a banquet for Bao Xin and Wei Xuan at his mansion. The people attending the banquet were still the so-called celebrities that Wei Xuan had met at Yuan Shao's mansion before. Others were happy for Wei Xuan

Apart from being envious, they are all expressing congratulations, Xu You

The look in Wei Xuan's eyes was already distorted. He had thought that the young master of the Grand Master's family had a bright future, but how long had he been in Luoyang? It was already worth two thousand dan. When he returned from Yuzhou, it was really possible for him to be released to other prefectures and counties. This kind of

The speed of promotion is so enviable and enviable.

But Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others don't see it that way. According to Wei Xuan's life experience and his merits, except that he is a little younger than Er Qian Shi, he is a perfect match!

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also very interesting. They prepared several autographed letters for Wei Xuan, asking Wei Xuan to find friends they were familiar with to ask for help after he arrived in Yuzhou. Yuan Shao even wrote directly to the tribesmen left behind by the Yuan family in Runan to ask for help.

Be sure to strongly support Wei Xuan.

With the recommendation letters from these two people, Wei Xuan's confidence has been strengthened. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also very concerned about Bao Xin and Wei Xuan's recruitment results, hoping that the day they return will be the time to completely change the situation in the court!

Because they were going to recruit soldiers to fight against thieves, Cai Yan naturally could not go with him, but when the two sisters heard about it, they wanted to go home with Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan deserved to agree.

As for the five people who came with the Wei family, Wei Xuan let them choose. Wei Xuan had already greeted Zhong Yao and Xun You, asking them to take care of the people who stayed. In the end, Wei Yun and Wei Biao chose to follow Wei Xuan.

This means that in the future, the two of them may enter the military instead of the official career that the Wei family is good at.

Just when Wei Xuan was preparing to leave Luoyang and rush to Yuzhou, an uninvited guest came. He presented a famous post claiming to be Nanyang Lou Gui. There are many famous people in Nanyang. Lou Gui should not be famous in Nanyang. Plus Wei Xuan

I have no friendship with him, so I feel it is strange that this person comes here at this time.

When Lou Gui opened his mouth, Wei Xuan finally remembered some records about him. Lou Gui once had a friendship with Cao Cao. He was known for his resourcefulness and had helped Cao Cao in his southern expedition and western affairs. However, in the end he was convicted by Cao Cao for speaking out.

Kill. This time I came to visit Wei Xuan through Cao Cao’s introduction.

However, Lou Gui came to visit Wei Xuan not to establish friendship with him, nor did Lou Gui, who was in his early thirties, come to ask Wei Xuan for help. If he wanted to do something, Cao Cao was the most suitable person. Instead, he invited him to join the association.

Lou Gui sat on the Taishi chair and looked at Wei Xuan eagerly. He introduced Wei Xuan in an emotional voice: "Wei Xiaowei may not know something. Gui is here to be a lobbyist today. The name of our association is called

Listening to the name of the Imperial Council, you may think that it is a gathering place for royal nobles or princes and princesses. In fact, this is not the case. Our Imperial Council is an organization that determines the succession of the throne or the change of dynasty.

Because this association only attracted celebrities at that time, core children of aristocratic families, and even family heads to join. It dominated the scholarly public opinion and the country's economic lifeline, so it could determine the inheritance of the throne and the change of the dynasty.

The purpose of the Emperor's Association is to maximize the interests of those who join the association by manipulating the court and even the change of dynasties.

To put it simply, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. After joining the membership, the dynasty can be changed, but the interests of the members will be protected to the greatest extent. Dai can even be secretly manipulated to overthrow the dynasty for the benefit of the members!

The Imperial Guards Association has been born since the pre-Qin period. The most famous members of the Imperial Guards Association are said to include Li Si, Zhao Gao, Zhang Liang, and even Xiang Yu and Wang Mang! There were more than a dozen of the twenty-eight generals of Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing Yuntai.

Joined the Emperor's Association."

Wei Xuan looked at Lou Gui with his mouth wide open. If the Emperor's Association is really what Lou Gui said, it would be a bit scary. It is similar to the ruling party in later generations, even more powerful than ordinary political parties. It is equivalent to an elite gathering and a Freemasonry.

It was an organization like that. Looking at Lou Gui's vows, Wei Xuan felt that the credibility was quite high.

Wei Xuan also admired Lou Gui's courage. He was so straightforward and said many sensitive words! I think people who come to this Emperor's Club must be confident.

Wei Xuan was born in the Wei family in Hedong and was in charge of the family's White Tiger Hall. He was currently the highest-ranking official in the family except Wei Su, and he had many talents and names. He must have met the membership requirements of the Emperor's Club, so Lou Gui came to visit him.

.

From this perspective, this is also the best evidence of Wei Xuan's improvement in personal strength.

After thinking about it, Wei Xuan asked: "Lou Jun, I wonder which famous families or celebrities in the Han Dynasty have joined your Emperor's Association today. What are the benefits and responsibilities I need to bear if I join the Emperor's Association?"

When Lou Gui saw Wei Xuan's heartbeat, he said enthusiastically: "As for the family, there are currently a large number of wealthy families in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places who have joined, and most of the scholar leaders in the court have also joined the Emperor's Council.

.Since the captain is going to Yuzhou to recruit troops, if he can get the support of the Emperor's Council, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Wei Xuan listened carefully to Lou Gui's counting, and found that there were no Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and no Sili. You must know that the Yang family of Hongnong was also the fourth generation and the third Duke, and Hedong was monopolized by the Wei family and the Pei family. In this way

emperor

The representativeness of the Zhouhui was still limited. He was unwilling to ask: "For example, have the princes of Guanglu Temple, Kong Wenju, Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, Huang Yuzhou, and Wang Jingzhou all joined the Imperial Zhouhui?"

Lou Gui smiled and did not answer the question directly: "These people are indeed social elites. However, the Emperor's Association must keep its members secret. Unless the members explain themselves to each other, Gui can only tell the captain that many of them have already joined the association. Moreover, the Emperor's Association must keep its members secret."

The Zhouhui will make big moves in the next one or two years. The captain should join the association whether it is for personal reasons or to harmonize the Wei family. Members of the Imperial Zhouhui

All of them are elites, and many of them are dignitaries of the day. Needless to say, there are benefits. When it comes to responsibilities, it is actually to safeguard the common interests of all members, and each member needs to work hard to maintain the overall goals and stages of the Emperor's Association on weekdays.

Goals. As long as the restrictions cannot run counter to the goals of the Imperial Council, usually everyone still goes their own way and is relatively loose."
