In the hall of the general's mansion

After listening to Wang Shi's description of the battle situation on the front line, He Jin praised: "This Wang Yanchen is worthy of being the son of Anxiang Hou (Wang Xi). He is indeed brave and good at fighting. Don't worry, my dear brother, I will definitely ask for credit from Your Majesty for this achievement."

"With the general's words, I will thank you on behalf of my cousin."

He Jin just needs to keep things stable. Wang Shi doesn't mind being polite to him.

After talking about the business, He Jin greeted the people in the mansion and served the dishes.

The beauties danced gracefully, the musicians played music, and the general's mansion was a scene of peace and prosperity.

Wang Shi pretended to appreciate it, but actually sighed in his heart. The battle on the battlefield has not stopped, and our general still knows how to enjoy life.

At the mansion of the eunuch Zhang Rang, Fang Qing brought a large amount of money and property to donate.

With a lot of treasures and a "fat sheep" look, Zhang Rang certainly didn't mind personally receiving him.

"Meng Yuan (Fang Qing), why don't you do your business properly and come to our house for no reason?"

Zhang Rang sat at the main table surrounded by servants, and several maids went up to massage his shoulders and legs.

Fang Qing bowed and said, "Of course I found some good things, and I'm giving them to the eunuchs to taste, and donating them to your majesty for appreciation."

"Wow, I've met a lot of people, but there aren't many who are as sensible as you. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Fang Qing was doing business in Luoyang, and from time to time he sent some things to Zhang Rang. Eunuchs were very favored during Liu Hong's time, and it was very wise to choose them as umbrellas. The development of the Black Envoy in Luoyang could not be achieved without the protection of Zhang Rang.

"Hehe," Fang Qing said with a smile: "I have a friend who has made some achievements on the front line. I would like to trouble the eunuch to mediate and help him get an official position."

"Oh~ Meng Yuan's friend, who is it?" Zhang Rang thought for a while: "It seems that there is a war report coming in, saying that a leader of the rebel army killed a Yellow Turban leader. I wonder if he is your friend?"

After Wang Shi reported the war report, the relevant content was sent to He Jin, Zhang Rang and other important officials at the same time. It was not surprising that they knew about this matter.

"The eunuch is well-informed. I was a businessman in Bingzhou before, and I received some favors from the Wang family. I also have some friendship with Wang Yao. If he makes achievements on the battlefield, I want to help him."

"Meng Yuan is indeed a good person. We have been friends for several years. I will naturally meet your small request. Tell me, what kind of official do you want?"

"Since it is wartime, either give him a lieutenant to facilitate his legitimate achievements for the court. What do you think, eunuch?"

"It's a small matter, a small matter. It's up to me to attend the court tomorrow."

"Thank you, eunuch."

"Meng Yuan, please stay for a meal. We haven't talked for a long time. It's a good opportunity for you to talk about those treasures."

"Then I'm sorry to bother you."

………………………………

Although Luoyang has a curfew, it is well known that these rules can only restrict ordinary people.

When Wang Shi and Fang Qing returned to the Sun Moon Inn, it was already 6:45.

Although Wang Shi was a little drunk, he still paid attention to the business: "Meng Yuan (Fang Qing), how is the talk with Zhang Rang going?"

Fang Qing handed him a cup of tea: "Don't worry, Mr. Xianyun, I know Zhang Rang's eunuchs too well. If it doesn't involve their lives, we can deal with it with some money. As for you, you must have visited many noble houses today. How do you feel?"

"Thank you." Wang Shi took the tea and drank it all: "The Yang family and the Yuan family are the two pillars of the gentry. I am just a small member of the Taiyuan Wang family. It is normal for them to look down on me. I will leave after a few greetings, but the great general He Jin is so enthusiastic that it makes people feel a little awkward."

He said he didn't care, but he couldn't be completely calm in his heart.

For Yang Ci and Yuan Kui, Wang Shi secretly made up his mind that sooner or later, he would make them look up to him.

Fang Qing: "After all, He Jin has just ascended to a high position and has just qualified to sit at the table. Of course, he will try to win people's hearts. But for now, this matter has been roughly settled. Just wait for the news."

"Yes."

The next morning court

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, good news has finally come from the local area. Liu Hong is really pleased.

"Good, good. It's just a small army of my Han people, but they killed the leader of the Yellow Turbans. Now my Han main force has also gone to battle. The Yellow Turbans will be defeated soon. Very good!"

Liu Hong was a little panicked when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Now that a victory has been announced, he is no longer panicked.

Zhang Rang took the money, and as soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, these first meritorious people should be rewarded, so that the generals and soldiers can feel the grace of the emperor. Moreover, I heard that Wang Yao, who made meritorious contributions, is the son of Anxiang Hou. It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son."

"Father Rang is right." Liu Hong nodded slightly.

Officials from the noble families such as Yuan Wei and Yang Ci did not say anything. After all, Wang Yao was a son of the noble family, and they would not sabotage him here.

He Jin stepped out and said, "I second the proposal. I also suggest that we can publicize the victory of our Han army to suppress the arrogance of the Yellow Turbans and encourage officials from all regions to resist the Yellow Turbans."

"Yes." Liu Hong closed his eyes slightly: "What official do you think is appropriate?"

Zhang Rang suggested: "I think we should make him a general and let him continue to fight against the Yellow Turbans."

He Jin: "I second the proposal."

The other ministers had no objection.

"Yes, pass the imperial edict to make Wang Yao a general and continue to lead troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans."

"Your Majesty is wise."

After the court was dismissed, Zhang Rang accompanied Liu Hong.

"Father Rang, did Wang Yao send you a gift?"

Zhang Rang was not at all panicked: "It was given to me, but it is also given to Your Majesty. Among the noble families, the father and son of the Wang family are much more discerning than those of the Yuan and Yang families."

"Haha, this Wang Xi, I sent him to Jizhou to fight the enemy, how come his son is in Henan."

Zhang Rang speculated and said, "It's probably Wang Qi who wants his son to gain experience. I heard that Wang Qi was ill after the battle against Qiang and Hu. He probably wants his son to become a talent as soon as possible.

After all, leading the army alone without the protection of his father can add a strong mark to his resume. The Yellow Turban bandits are just some low-class bandits with little combat power. As long as Wang Yao can achieve a little victory and publicize it, he will be able to gain momentum."

"The nobles like to have some false reputations, even if they fight. Now the situation has changed. If the Taiyuan Wang family can develop It can also play a check and balance role on the Yuan and Yang families. We must not let a certain aristocratic family dominate, otherwise it will be dangerous. Do you understand? "

"I understand~" Zhang Rang said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is very clever, and those aristocratic families are just in your hands."

"Stop flattering me." Liu Hong's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible cruelty: "What is in your hands may not be under your control. The Yellow Turban Rebellion soon broke my party imprisonment. Now I am forced to let go of recruiting soldiers in various places. Who knows what will happen next."
