The Mansion of General Cavalry and the Official Houses of each Cao Cao.

"Xiaozhi, I said that after you entered the government, you changed your normal behavior and worked hard. Unexpectedly, the house was still very sloppy. Look, the snow that was blowing into the doors and windows was not swept away. The snow melted in a while, and I was afraid it would be frozen."

Today, Meng Da, who was Xiu Mu's turn, shook off the snowflakes on his body outside the door, raised a pot of wine in his hand, and said with a smile.

"I have a rare time to rest for these servants who clean the official house. If I have this free time, it is better to read a book for a while."

Fa Zheng, who was wrapped in the bedding and lying on the bedding, shrank his head and did not get up. He said indifferently. After seeing the wine pot in Meng Da’s hand, he then raised the bedding and jumped up with a "huh".

"So you have brought such good things, hurry up and serve with warm wine!"

As he spoke, Fa Zheng had already found the warm wine bottle in his room, put it straight on the brazier, and warmly greeted Meng Da to take the warm wine.

When Meng Da saw Fazheng's attitude changed drastically, he didn't think it was offended. He laughed and went to the table freely and began to drink warmly.

Fa Zheng, who had already changed the booklet in his hand, stared at the wine pot and greedily sniffed the wine smell. Only then did he slowly turn his attention to the owner of the wine, Meng Da.

"Zijing, is this wine aged in Xinfeng? Haha, the army has been mobilized in the new General's Mansion. Are you greedy for military success?"

"Chi! I talk nonsense. Although official wine is expensive, I, Mencius, can still afford it. Why? Isn't it okay to pay for you to drink by myself?"

"Chenchengcheng, come on, I'll drink it first."

Fa Zheng couldn't wait to scoop out a spoonful of wine from the bottle that had not yet been warmed up, and opened his mouth and sucked it into his stomach. He felt the brief stimulation of the wine in his taste buds, which made him exclaimed to be refreshed, and then asked Meng Da again:

"Zijing, since the beginning of winter, the General's Mansion is busy, and you have many documents from Cao. It is rare to have a rest. Why do you think of asking for a drink?"

"Isn't that true?" Meng Da smiled and did not answer Fazheng's question positively, but said Youyou:

"I originally thought that after the Bingzhou War, the officials and soldiers in the palace would have some time left. But unexpectedly, there were a series of chaos one after another. Not only did Ma Mengqi make a big fuss in Chang'an City, causing a big disaster, but something happened in Liangdi, Ding Linghu invaded, Lu Shuihu rebelled, and General Anxi who went out to the frontier heard that he was defeated and returned, so the three lieutenants went to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion."

Fa Zheng nodded. There was indeed a lot of things going on this autumn and winter. While nodding, he stretched out a spoon of wine and drank a spoon of wine in front of Meng Da.

Looking at Fa Zheng's face as if he was greedy and anxious, Meng Da laughed and pointed at Fa Zheng and scolded:

"Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, look at your appearance, no wonder you have been slandered forever. But I want to say, if you want to drink, I will come to you this time, and there is a good place to drink."

"Oh, where?" Fa Zheng stopped the wine spoon and cheered up when he heard this.

"You should know that Yang Kongqu will be transferred to Chang'an Order, right?"

Fa Zheng nodded, "It's the strong point! Could it be that what you said is the place to drink, a banquet that greets Yang Jun?"

"That's right!" Meng Da laughed and asked again, "How?"

"It shouldn't be the only one waiting?" Fa Zheng asked staring at Meng Da.

Meng Da immediately smiled awkwardly and said:

"Of course it's not just us, but also some colleagues from Guanzhong who came from famous families. Yang Kongqu was originally from Wannian County, Fengyi County. This time he was transferred to Chang'an Order, which was considered a return home in glory. Everyone could talk about the friendship between the people at the banquet."

"Haha." Fa Zheng also laughed with him, shook his head firmly, and said:

"Don't go!"

"Ah, why is this?" Meng Da asked in surprise with wide eyes.

Fazheng closed his eyes and said slowly:

"As a minister, he is not close to his party, and he is not as good as Zhou. Sima Boda left in Chang'an City and Yangkongqu came. You and I went to banquets one after another. If you don't know, you thought that the officials from Guanzhong were forming cliques and celebrating each other."

"It's ridiculous!" Meng Da sneered at this reason, and he sneered:

"You Fa Xiaozhi don't care about your colleagues' criticism of you on weekdays. How can you go to a welcome banquet? You are worried about these things instead!"

"A gentleman's journey is to pass through melon fields and not walk through Liyuan. How do I do things and how to make decisions on my daily life is my own business. As for how others criticize and distort it, it is their business."

"Then you just don't want to go!"

"Indeed." Fa Zheng opened his eyes and stopped drinking, but said to Meng Da with some persuasion:

"Zijing, I know you are very talented, but the shortcut you think in your heart is not the right way. You have been getting too close to some people who shouldn't be close to you."

"Enough." Meng Da's face darkened. He waved his hand to stop Fazheng's words, then sighed and said:

"I left Yan Wenze, Yan Gongzhong, Li Xiaoyi and others. You can't tell me about some of the relationships, and you can't avoid some of them. Xiaozhi, in terms of talent, I am not as good as you, and in terms of being an official, you are not as good as me."

"Haha, the Master said, 'Is it necessary to be crazy and arrogant instead of being able to achieve the mean!', and he also said, 'The crazy and aggressive are forging ahead, and the arrogant are forcing things to do.' This is because he has lost the comprehensive way, but if he has not done anything, he will have to do something. Since he has said, 'The aggressive and unleashed things will have something to do. In this way, Zi Jing, I will take the crazy and unleashed ways to do it!"

After hearing Fazheng's words, this time Meng Da raised his wine glass and started drinking quietly. Seeing this, Fazheng stopped talking more. Haha, raised his wine glass and said with a smile:

"Come on, it's useless to say too much, everything is in the wine."

···

A few days later, the cavalry general's mansion was in the wing room.

"Kongqu, there is no need to be too polite, come to the table!"

Yan Xing waved his hand to stop Yang Pei from saluting, and invited him to sit with a smile.

"Thank you, General!"

Yang Pei bowed respectfully, then sat upright in the seat.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have to drink three bottles first, but I know Kongqu's thoughts and specifically ask my servants to change to the soup. Come and give it a try."

Yan Xing looked at Yang Pei who was kneeling majestic, laughed, reached out and pointed at the soup in front of him, and said with a smile.

This type of drink, which is very different from honey water, cheese, wine water, and slurry water, has gradually spread among the upper class figures in some places in Guanzhong and Sanhe, and even the Hun nobles on the grassland have gradually come into contact with this type of drink.

But Yang Pei did not immediately pick up the soup, but said seriously:

"There are good people above, and there must be even more people below. Guanzhong, like Sanhe, issued a ban on alcohol. I hope that the general can set an example, abide by the laws and regulations, and change the practice of serving the sacrificial soup. It should not only be for Pei."

"Haha." Yan Xing laughed when he heard this. Yang Pei's temper had not changed at all. He nodded, looked at Yang Pei with a clear face, and changed the topic and said:

"Kongqu, do you know what happened to me who ordered you to enter Chang'an City?"

"Pei doesn't know, please make clear to the general!"

"You really don't know? Then Gu asked you, what about Chang'an?"

"The left and right of Chang'an, Long Di, is located, and Jincheng is located. It blocks three sides and defends the enemy with one side. It can be said to be a place where dragons rise."

"I'm asking about the current Chang'an public security!"

As Yan Xing strengthened his tone, Yang Pei was silent. After a while, he slowly said:

"The general needs to forgive his subordinates for being innocent, and Pei dares to speak out."

"I will not speak to the sinner, speak!"

"As far as Pei entered Chang'an, the Chang'an rule was not subject to the ban, and there were seven disadvantages and seven losses, which was not as many as Henan!"

"oh?"

"The first disadvantage is that Chang'an has the disadvantage of arrogant soldiers. The soldiers in the army are rogue and have ambitions and are violent. In the name of military law, officials cannot ask. The superiors are in compassionate with the army, but they are indiscriminate. The second disadvantage is that Chang'an has the disadvantage of the people. The descendants of the people have many illegal things. However, they are fled with goods and flirt with minor officials to replace them. The superiors are in migrating and enriching the city, but there is no strategy to cure traitors and extravagant people. The third disadvantage is that Chang'an has the disadvantage of the Hu Han Dynasty. The Hu Han Dynasty has the complexity of the Hu Han Dynasty and the household registration is unclear. The Han people make profits and sell privately by Hu slaves, Hu Er gathers to plagiarize the caves, and the superiors lose the reputation of having households, but there is no reality of uniform people......"

"Okay, okay." Yan Xing laughed instead of anger, and he asked:

"If Gu regards you as the Chang'an Order, it is to let you manage Chang'an, a difficult place for Gu. Are you willing to take on this important task?"

"If you don't seek easy things, you don't take refuge in your affairs. This is the duty of your minister. Pei should die and do it."

"Haha." Yan Xing laughed, "I don't need you to die. Sima Boda has the ability to prosper all industries, but he has no courage to eliminate evil. So I asked you to do Chang'an Order. As long as you promote profits and eliminate evils, do you have a good idea?"

"I have no good plans, so I can only do my best to follow the preaching of the law."

"Okay, then I want you to follow the law of the Chronology!"

Speaking of this, Yan Xing put away his smile and looked at Yang Peiyu and said earnestly:

"Governing Chang'an is not easy. It's both public and private. Can you ask for something?"

"I really have something to ask for."

“But it’s okay.”

"I have no desire for personal affairs. I have no matter how big or small the matter is, all depends on the law. However, the results may not be achieved in the short term. I have only one request, that is, during this period, the general will be able to grant me full power to govern the affairs, lead the way, lead by example, be selfless and plead without authoritative interference, and do not listen to villains' slander."

"But! I agreed to your request, even if I let go. In addition, your wife and children have all come to Chang'an with you?"

"Already in Chang'an."

"Okay, you just said you had a selfless request, but I heard that you have served as an official in previous years, and you did not mind with personal plans, and refused to serve noble people. You have only occupied two hectares of deserted land in Henan. Your wife and children have set up a melon and cowhouse to farm and support yourself. Is there any such thing?"

Although Yang Peiqing's face did not change, his beard still trembled slightly, so he could only bow and say:

"minister--"

"Okay, you don't have to say much. If you want to be a honest and honest man, why is the king of mercy? If you don't reward you, you will also be grateful to your wife and children. If you give your family three hundred pieces of silk, don't refuse."

"Pei, thank the general for the reward!"

Yang Pei was grateful and hurriedly got up and left the table, thanking Yan Xing.

"Okay, get up." Yan Xingxufu signaled, and asked:

"Kongqu, you came here this time and passed by Hongnong. Have you ever seen the auspiciousness of purple air in Tongguan?"

"I am here for a hurry and have not paid much attention to it. I have no chance to see auspicious things."

Yang Pei got up and went back to the seat, his body still straight.

Yan Xing nodded, not caring.

Yang Pei was transferred to Chang'an Order, which actually involved a series of personnel transfers. The former Chang'an Order Sima Lang will serve as the prefect of Hongnong, Yan Xiang will serve as the magistrate of Hu County, and Jia Kui, the former Hongnong Prefect, was transferred back to Chang'an to obey the orders, and has another mission...

At this moment of personnel transfer and transfer, Hongnong's officials wrote to Ba Mansion and reported that there was auspicious purple aura in Tongguan.

Some people rumored that this is the spirit of an emperor, which is a sign that a new emperor will emerge in the chaotic world in the West.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yan Xing looked at Yang Pei again and suddenly asked:

"I still heard that after you arrived in Chang'an, you had many banquets among your colleagues, and you refused them one by one. Why, are you still afraid of returning home in glory and being in a homely manner?"

Hearing Yan Xing’s question, Yang Pei’s heart moved and said seriously:

"I was ordered to take office to govern Chang'an. During the banquet, it is inevitable that old friends and friends would ask for private affairs through the friendship of fellow villagers, so they simply refused to attend the banquet one by one, and avoided hurting the friendship in person at the banquet."
