"Lord, this is the name of the guest in the mansion. He claimed to be his old friend of the lord. He came here to visit him this time, so the villain did not dare to neglect him. After reporting to the head, he welcomed him into the second hall for a while. It has been half an hour since then."

The sudden interruption of the guard's servant interrupted Zhang Song's thoughts and made him very unhappy. He immediately glared at the servant angrily, then took the Mingtao, but was not in a hurry to look through it, but slowly walked towards the front yard with a lot of worries.

At this moment, his thoughts were still immersed in the current disputes between the prefectures, and what lingers in his mind was the scheming and conspiring chief Zhao Wei.

The chief minister Zhao Wei assisted Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son in two generations. They are experienced, have high prestige, have high status and are powerful, and have a deep cunning attitude, meticulous behavior and are free from leaks.

In recent years, Zhao Wei has successively quelled the rebellion in Dongzhou and led his army to resist Jingzhou Liu Biao's westward advance to Ba County. He made great contributions and became more powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that his achievements are high and shocking the master.

Because of this, a group of officials from the prefecture jointly impeached Zhao Wei. Most of them were those who had prejudice against Zhao Wei. They were jealous of Zhao Wei's current power, but they did not seize Zhao Wei's handle. They were all false charges, and they were purely following the trend.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Zhang Song carefully weighed the pros and cons and resolutely chose to join the local forces in Yizhou that impeached Zhao Wei. For this reason, he advised Liu Zhang, advocating to prevent problems before they happened. Regardless of whether the chief Zhao Wei was planning to be ill-telled or had the intention to rebel, his military power should be weakened and appropriately suppressed to prevent the strong ministers from being weak and causing trouble sooner or later.

It has to be admitted that Zhang Song's claim is not wrong. Instead, it is a successful plan for the country. Unfortunately, his lack of evidence in his hands greatly reduced his claim. It was not convincing, so that Liu Zhang could not make up his mind as soon as possible. In this way, all the provincial governments' discussions in the past half month have been spent in endless debates, and the results of the debate have always been the same: no result.

The dispute was shelved again and again and never resolved. As a result, the dispute directly heated up sharply and became uncontrollable. But the result still did not change. Liu Zhang was still unable to make up his mind and was still hesitant. He was undecided.

"Uh! Fa Xiaozhi?"

Absent-mindedly walked to the main hall to sit down. Zhang Song took the teacup handed to his hand. He saw that he was holding a Mingtao in his hand. There was a long-awaited "guest" in the second hall west of the main hall. So he held the tea lid in his left hand and gently pulled the heat in front of him with his right hand.

In an instant, the name in the extremely conspicuous position on the name thorn suddenly came into view. Zhang Song was shocked and shouted. While he was shocked and exclaimed, he raised his left hand and accidentally knocked down the steaming teacup, causing the teacup to roll to the ground.

With a crisp "bang", the teacup fell to pieces. The teacup in the cup splashed everywhere, half of which fell on Zhang Song's lower body. He was so scared that he hurriedly got up, fearing that the hot tea would splash on his face and had no image, and he was so embarrassed.

"I deserve to die, the official family forgive me!" The maid standing not far behind Zhang Song watched this scene happen in front of him. Even if he wanted to stop him, he was powerless. Immediately, seeing Zhang Song's angry look, the maids were so scared that they trembled all over, and rushed forward to apologize.

"Waste! The tea is so hot, do you want to burn me to death? Even a small thing like serving tea cannot be done well. What's the use of me if I want you?"

In the face of losing face, Zhang Song was furious and sternly scolded the four maids kneeling in front of him. They were so scared that they pressed their faces to the floor, holding their breath and silenced, and did not dare to let out.

However, Zhang Song was angry but did not care about the tea stains on his top, but reached out to touch his smooth cheeks, touched his left face to the right face, and then to his forehead, until he confirmed that there was no tea on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, although this not-so-satisfactory face looked a little unsatisfactory, he attached great importance to it, and even the degree of attention was far above his body.

Fortunately, the case is almost not high, and it is spring at this time, so he is wearing thicker clothes, so he is not scalded, but it only damages his image and is quite embarrassed.

If it were ordinary people, they would definitely not lose their temper because of this little thing. After all, it would be nothing to dirty the brocade robe, so it would be a new one. However, the officials of Yizhou are very different from the officials of the Central Plains. They have always paid attention to appearance and image. They are well-dressed and well-dressed at any time and anywhere, especially some people with poor talent pay special attention to external image.

This phenomenon itself is not bad, but it is a very good habit, but now it has a somewhat unique taste, which is the most among the states of the Han Dynasty. After all, it is in a chaotic world, and most people are still struggling in the war, and survival has become a problem, so they have no intention of paying attention to their image. However, they have not been poisoned by war in half of the counties in Yizhou. Even if there is war for many years, there has been local wars and has not affected the entire territory of Yizhou. Therefore, most people have lived a relatively peaceful and stable life for a long time.

As the saying goes: If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

For the people who have been in a stable life for a long time, as long as they are not lazy and hate labor, they can basically eat and wear well, without the suffering of wandering. Over time, they will pay attention to their external image, pay attention to clothing, and pay attention to etiquette. Even ordinary people are like this, then children from noble families like Zhang Song and nobles who hold official positions are undoubtedly even more. They have extremely high requirements and standards in dressing that ordinary people cannot imagine. They are shining everywhere they go, and are eye-catching.

This is also the external difference between Yizhou officials and officials in Central Plains. It is completely clear and very eye-catching.

After fumbled on his face for a while, Zhang Song shook the hem of the brocade robe stained with tea stains, and snorted coldly, "Hmph! What are you doing here? Why don't you get up quickly and wipe it clean quickly. I will entertain guests later! You will remember it for me. When you entertain guests later, if you are so careless and rude, I will drive you out of the mansion and sell them all to the west alley as a prostitute!" After saying that, Zhang Song shook his sleeves and walked straight into the backyard, thinking that he must have gone to change his clothes.

Half an hour later, Zhang Song, who was dressed up, appeared in the main hall again.

However, this time, he did not sit high, but sat in the hall, sitting on the ground casually, and opposite him was a young man with a confident smile on his face. Judging from his age, Zhang Song was much older, and he looked more "urgent", so he looked at least ten years older than the young man, and he seemed to be two generations between them.

But this is not the case. In fact, he is only six years older than the young man opposite him. The two of them studied together. They were both classmates and close friends with similar interests.

"After leaving for many years, Xiaozhi's style is even more beautiful, which made Brother Yu feel deeply pleased. Please, brother." During the greetings, Zhang Song raised a cup to drink. Although his smile was not good-looking, he was very sincere and touching.

It goes without saying that the person who sits against him at this moment is the Fa Zheng Fa Xiaozhi who has been the prefect of Hanzhong for three years.

Fa Zheng was named Hanzhong Prefect, but in fact he had multiple positions. Hanzhong Prefect was his actual position. In addition, he also held the position of military advisor and general of the Western Liang Army, and was granted the title of Marquis of Duting by Li Li. Therefore, although he was young and was only a county magistrate, his actual position was above Zhang Song, and his rank was more than that of the nine ministers, and he was actually young and promising in the true sense.

"Brother Yongnian is too polite." After drinking a cup of wine, Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Although you and me are not brothers of the same mother, they have similar interests and their friendship is more profound than brothers. Therefore, Brother Yongnian must not be polite. You and I are still straightforward and have no scruples when they were studying at my younger brother's house. In this way, Brother Yongnian thinks it is good?"

Back then, Zhang Song studied under Fazheng's father Fayan, and his food and accommodation were at Fazheng's house. There were more than ten scholars who studied with him, but many classmates deliberately kept a distance from him because of his ugly appearance. However, Fazheng, who was six years younger than him, did not judge people by his appearance. He studied with him all day and spent three years together.

Because of this, when the situation in Xiliang was turbulent, Fa Zheng and his father Fa Yan wanted to move their family to Yizhou and defect to Zhang Song. However, Li Li quickly pacified Xiliang and dared to order people to find Fa Yan before the Fa family and son were about to set off. As a result, the Fa family and son changed their original plan and stayed in Xiliang for a long time. Two years ago, Fa Yan passed away. After hearing the news, Zhang Song specifically asked Liu Zhang for leave and made a special trip to Youfufeng County to mourn his teacher Fa Yan. During this period, Fa Zheng had been together for half a month.

Therefore, the friendship between the two of them is indeed extremely deep. It is better than brothers than brothers.

"As far as my brother said, you and I can get together rarely, and I will definitely stop drunk today!"

Fa Zheng's words made Zhang Song feel warm, and the brotherly friendship between them is even more precious and rare. This is because the current Yizhou officialdom is very different from other prefectures and counties in the world. Perhaps it is because after living a long life or having a strong sense of superiority, they all claim to be extremely smart, so that the entire Yizhou officialdom is full of intrigues and intrigues. Everyone wears a mask of hypocrisy and always guard against others for fear that they will fall into other people's plans if they are not careful.

While pushing the cup, the two had a great time talking, and they spoke in an opportunistic manner, as if they met a close friend with a few glasses. After drinking for an hour without realizing it, they were already slightly drunk.

"I think there must be something important to come to Chengdu this time. I wonder what Brother Yu can do for you?" Halfway through the drunkenness, Zhang Song finally made the point clear and made his position without any shirks. As long as it is within his ability, he will never refuse.

This is the attitude that a close friend should have. Knowing that Fa Zheng is hiding whereabouts and coming to Chengdu will definitely have a big deal, so he didn't ask why Fa Zheng came, and asked directly what I could do for you. No matter what the result is, this clear attitude alone is enough to show that Zhang Song treats his friends much more beautifully than his appearance, pure and beautiful.
