Chapter 623 Ding Yuan's Choice
[For the new month, please give me some guaranteed tickets, thank you!]
The envoy sent by Yuan Wei to seek to meet Ding Yuan and King Chenliu was Xun You. This great talent from Yingchuan came to Beijing for study and encountered this drastic change. After that, no one recommended him, he was just appointed as the Minister of the Yellow Sect by Dong Zhuo, intending to dilute Yuan Wei's party with this division, but Xun You came to Ding Yuan Wei on behalf of Yuan Wei, which shows the strength of the old aristocratic power.
"Student Xun You and Xun Gongda of Yingchuan had met the old man and was extremely happy."
Xun You bowed to salute, but his eyes quickly looked at Ding Yuan and Lu Bu beside Ding Yuan. Although Ding Yuan is old and has white hair and hair, his figure is still tall and tall, as if it is a pine tree in the cold winter.
As for Lu Bu, he was even more heroic, as dazzling as a small sun, even making Xun You feel afraid to pay attention.
"You are kind to Gongda, please come in."
Ding Yuan smiled and looked very friendly.
The two of them casually exchanged greetings and entered the tent. Ding Yuan kept his residence in the camp outside the city. On the one hand, although he was cautious, on the other hand, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, without the emperor's decree, the guest army was not allowed to enter the capital, and Ding Yuan still abides by this regulation.
After casually talking about the topics of Yingchuan and Xun clans, the two turned the content of the conversation to the point.
"My elder, the world is shocked by the great changes in the capital. It's really hard for the elder to come from thousands of miles to follow the order. Now the prince has ascended the throne and the capital has been restored. The emperor has finished rewards and punishments, the reign has been changed and the world is calm. What are the plans for the elder? "
"Your Masahis this is wrong. Now that the emperor has just arrived, the capital is a little more peaceful. As a king-supporting army, he should be on standby. How could he plan to say that Ding Yuan's stay or not is naturally decided by the emperor. Wherever the emperor asks Ding to go, Ding will naturally go."
"Haha..." Xun You smiled disconcerted: "What the old man said is very true. I believe the emperor's edict will arrive soon."
"How does Gongda know?"
"Guess!"
Ding Yuan couldn't help laughing when he looked at Xun You's contentment.
"Haha... Gongda is so smart. He can guess the emperor's actions, but I can't guess it! Gongda is so smart. Why can't he be willing to give birth to the emperor to help the emperor and reconcile the world with his own talent, but he goes to flatter Taiwei Yuan to seek glory?"
Xun You was stunned for a moment, and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "The old man misunderstood. He is the official of the court, and naturally the minister of the emperor. However, since the Shangguan of the subordinate is Taiwei Yuan, can he disobey orders?"
"Haha, why should Gongda make a quibble? Everyone understands people. I don't like to waste time in circles. Xun's family is indeed a great family in Yingchuan, but Xun's family is also a family member. Reading and ceremonial knowledge, do you still need me to tell you what loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness are?"
"Haha, did the old man not hear that 'the king is virtuous and the people stop, but if they are not virtuous, they will go'? Mencius also said 'The king is inferior to the people'. Although he is a little bit weak, this talent is only used on the people. It is not to sell it with one family."
"Okay, one is not a solder and one family. I hope Gongda can use this as a warning in the future."
"Hmph, it's just a hot-spoken person!"
Lu Bu curled his lips disdainfully, and stung Xun You in front of him without any hesitation.
Xun You's face changed and he felt a little dissatisfied, not to mention that the military man Lu Bu was the one who spoke.
"Haha, why did General Lu say this? Where is the truth in the following?
"Xun You, you always say that the people are the most important. What is the people?"
"This... the people in the world have the people!"
"Since that's the case, the great scholars led by Yuan Wei and others bully the emperor's power and the people below. Now they are owned by the lands of Sili, Yongzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which makes the people have to rebel in vain. How do you serve the people? Or are the people you mentioned are just those aristocratic? Haha..."
"This... governing the world is not a joke, and how can we explain it in just one or two sentences. Aristocratic clans are the foundation of the imperial rule and outward expansion. This can be seen from the development of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and the expansion of northern borders. As for the annexation of land, it is just a strategy, and how can we explain it clearly to you."
"Okay, I already understand, you don't need to argue with this military man."
Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, not interested in confusing the facts with this gentry and quibbling, and a waste of time to argue with the children of the gentry. There is a saying by Yi Ren that facts are better than words. In the future, it is just to use facts to tell them the answer.
"you!....."
"Haha, Gongda doesn't have to mind. My adopted son is from a poor family and has always been unable to stand the actions of the aristocratic races. He just wants to say nonsense. So Gongda is here today to tell me that the emperor is about to issue an order to return to Bingzhou?"
"This... Actually, the Grand Marshal asked me to come down to ask the old man, but if I have any needs, I guess the old man was ordered to go south in a hurry, so there must be some inadequate preparations."
"That's true! If you suddenly receive the imperial edict, the army will have insufficient military supplies and want to return to Bingzhou smoothly, you may have to wait for the arrival of the supplies transported by Bingzhou before you can set off."
Ding Yuan smiled and crawled upwards. Since someone came to the door to be slaughtered, Ding Yuan had no reason not to get out of the knife, and Ding Yuan was planning to knock on Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu smiled coldly and said nothing.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this. You can definitely help you share your worries."
"Oh, thank you, Lord Taiwei, so I will send the list of military supplies to the Lord Taiwei for a look, haha."
After Ding Yuan finished speaking, he stroked his beard and stopped talking. Xun You couldn't help but sigh. He just choked with Lu Bu, which made him lose his peace of mind. As a result, Ding Yuan took advantage of the situation and climbed up. Moreover, this old scoundrel seemed not satisfied. He did not mention the matter of King Chenliu at all, obviously he wanted more benefits.
"I wonder if I can pay homage to His Highness Chenliu and the Empress Dowager?"
"This... the Queen Mother's health has always been bad. I guess she was too scared. In addition, the late Emperor Immortal went out of her sorrow, so... As for His Highness Chenliu, I must be taking a nap at this moment. If Gong Da had nothing to do, he could wait."
Of course, Xun You didn't really want to meet King Chenliu and Queen Mother Dong. What could this young man have to do? In the final analysis, the old man Ding Yuan nodded. He just wanted to raise the topic on King Chenliu.
"King Chenliu has been granted a title and will soon be a country. I wonder if Lord Ding will send the kingdom of Chenliu at that time?"
"This is naturally. King Chenliu is still young. Does Gongda think that his child can successfully reach Chenliu?"
Ding Yuan looked at Xun You like a fool, and Xun You couldn't help but laugh and cry. This old man is really too bullying. Lu Bu even sneered with cold eyes, and even did not hide his sneer.
"This... I just feel deeply uneasy about the old man's back and forth, or the escort task can be handed over to the Grand Marshal. Isn't this a killing of two birds with one stone?"
"I don't have the final say in this matter. I have to decide on His Highness Chenliu and the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager asks me to escort, I have no reason to shirk it."
After all, Xun You was Xun You. After all, he was a little out of control when he was deliberately provoked by Lu Bu. Now he has completely calmed down. He is not anxious about Ding Yuan's scoundrel, but just smiled and said, "What if the emperor issued an edict?"
"Oh, did Gongda guess the emperor's idea again? Gongda is really a god!"
"Haha, hehe," Xun You was really speechless about the old scoundrel: "Even if it is, then what will the old man do?"
"Didn't Gongda hear that the generals are not responsible for their orders in foreign military service? Besides, the Empress Dowager is the grandmother of today's son. Does the Emperor have to object to the Empress Dowager's words? What's more, it's just a small matter of escort. Besides, Lord Dong may not agree with Gongda's 'guess'! Ah?"
"Then is the boss ready to go on his own?"
"I didn't say that. Everything depends on the Queen Mother's will. If the Queen Mother feels that she is not in good health, it is not impossible to go to Bingzhou for recuperation. In that case, it is impossible for King Chenliu to go to the country by himself, and the affairs of the country will naturally be postponed."
Xu You's eyes sterned and he understood Ding Yuan's true plan.
"So, the matter is not yet decided, or if King Chenliu and Empress Dowager Chen still lack some clothes and attendants, they also need to prepare."
"Gongda thought so thoughtful. He is worthy of being a great talent in Yingchuan and one of the eight dragons! Unfortunately..."
Ding Yuan finally didn't forget to disgust Xun You, and Xun You smiled indifferently.
"I understand. If you have any needs from King Chenliu and the Empress Dowager, you can ask them all. The Grand Marshal will definitely be very happy to worship."
"Haha... OK, I will send it to the Grand Marshal to see it together. When the things have arrived, I will submit a petition to go."
Xun You sighed and bowed, "Then I'll wait and see!"
Looking at Xun You's back as he left, Ding Yuan restrained the smile on his face and said with a little lonely: "Are all the talents in the aristocratic race?"
"The adoptive father is so bad! There are talents everywhere, just to see if we can discover it, whether we dare to use it!"
Lu Bu's decisive words made Ding Yuan stunned. Then he raised his head to look at Xun You, turned to look at Lu Bu, and a smile slowly spread out on his face, and slapped Lu Bu's upper arm with force.
"My son said it well! He said it well! I have Qilinzi, haha..."
Yuan Wei was very quick to move. After receiving Ding Yuan's request, he quickly bargained, and finally he quickly fulfilled the things he had set. Of course, some of them needed Ding Yuan to return to Bingzhou before he could fulfill them.
The two of them had no secrets in their private transactions, so Dong Zhuo naturally saw them, but after Ding Yuan took advantage of Yuan Wei, he moved the barracks for two miles and squatted down and stopped leaving!
Dong Zhuo understood that this was waiting for his own benefits!
Although Dong Zhuo scolded Ding Yuan at his home and sneered in the court for being greedy, he seemed to be unable to drive Ding Yuan away with just his mouth, so Dong Zhuo had to send someone to negotiate. (Your support is my greatest motivation.)
