My oath made Zhang Rang smile. He was now a little relieved of me. However, I won't stop just because he's assured. Otherwise, all my previous efforts will be in vain. I want to strike while the iron is hot and add fire!
I stepped forward and said,"Since Cao Cao entered the capital, he has never been free to visit you." Now that the father-in-law is here, I have something to offer to you. Please accept it."After saying that, I gave a box made of pure gold to Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang looked greedily at the golden box with the carving of two dragons playing with a pearl and said,"Meng De is a man with a heart! Unlike those ministers who were full of loyalty to the country, they were full of loyalty to the country, but in the end, they were all doing it for themselves.”
I quickly said,"Father-in-law is really wise!"”Zhang Rang opened the box and saw a pure white luminous pearl inside. Zhang Rang was very knowledgeable and said with a trembling voice,"Meng De, what are you saying? As the saying goes, no merit, no reward. Look at this…"
I quickly tried to smooth things over." Eunuch Meng De is like a reborn man. Not to mention the luminous pearl, even if it's Meng De's life, if Eunuch Meng wants it, Meng De will not hesitate."”
"Great! Meng De is truly a loyal man!" Zhang Rang said. Then I'll obey."
"I dare not." It would be an honor for the father-in-law to be able to digest it. However, Gonggong Cao had something that he didn't know if he should say.”
"Meng De, if you have something to say, say it," said Zhang Rang."You don't have to stand on ceremony.”
I quickly said,"Eunuch currently holds a lot of power in the court, but this will inevitably cause some of the court officials to be jealous."”
"If they dare, I can crush them as easily as crushing an ant," Zhang Rang said.”
I said,"Even so, father-in-law holds great power in the capital, but what about outside the capital?" Your words might not work. Don't you think so?"
"Meng De means…?"”
"Think about it, father-in-law. What is your greatest foundation?" "It's the current Emperor. The Emperor is in good health now, but what if…" I stopped and looked at Zhang Rang. Seeing that he was listening carefully, I continued,"I don't know.""The one taking over the world must be Empress He's son, Liu Bian.”
"That might not be the case. We can appoint Empress Dong's son, Liu Che!"”
I said,"Right now, the capital's Great General He Jin and the eunuchs are evenly matched. When His Majesty is alive, although the eunuchs have a slight advantage, when His Majesty is not feeling well, He Jin's advantage is obvious."”
"Why do you think so?" Zhang Rang asked.
"He Jin is the Great General, and he holds the imperial court's heavy army. When he mobilizes the army to threaten you, how will you respond?"”
"Then we'll take control of the Imperial Army." I recently learned that the Imperial Court is preparing to set up an Imperial Army of the West Garden. I've already suggested that Jian Shuo be appointed as the commander of the military academy. In this way, we will have control over the Imperial Army.”
I quickly said,"But if they transfer heroes from other places to lead troops into the capital, how will you respond?"”
"This…" Zhang Rang said."What do you think, Meng De?"
"Father-in-law should have his own strategic depth," I said. In other words, the father-in-law should send capable subordinates to the local government to control the military and political power. If there were any changes in the capital, they could enter the capital to support at any time.”
"Who should we send?" Zhang Rang asked.
I said,"Is there no one you trust?"”
"Yes, there are, but letting these people go will only cause more trouble than success." Sigh…Meng De, how about it?"
I said,"No, I'm also a helper to father-in-law in the capital." Moreover, my thirty thousand elite soldiers can also threaten He Jin.”
Zhang Rang thought for a moment and said,"We have already taken control of the Imperial Army. When the time comes, Meng De can bring these 30,000 troops to the place." Meng De is in charge of the local government, while we are in charge of the Imperial Army. At that time, they could work together from the inside and outside. That way, they could rest easy.”
"If that's the case," I said,"I'll have to reluctantly go to the place. But how can I go?" Should these 30,000 people be left for the father-in-law?”
"I've thought about it," said Zhang Rang. You can go to either Qingzhou or Yanzhou. He would enter the capital tomorrow to see what His Majesty thought. However, Yanzhou was closer to the capital, so he could make it in time. I lean towards you here. As for your 30,000 soldiers? Take these 30,000 people with you. Firstly, it will help you gain a foothold in the local area. Secondly, you will have the capital to enter the capital in the future.”
I pretended to consider it for a moment.”
"That's good," said Zhang Rang."I wonder what else Meng De has to say?"”
"I've heard that the Changsha rebel Qu Xing has committed a rebellion and is harassing the place," I said. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun of Yuyang rebelled. Zhang Ju claimed to be the emperor, while Zhang Chun claimed to be the general who rebelled. Is there such a thing?"
"That's right," said Zhang Rang.”
"How will you handle this matter?" I asked.”
"These are small matters that can be handled by the local authorities. Why bother offending the central government?"”
I quickly said,"Although this matter is a small matter, it has become a handle in the hands of some officials in the court. It has become evidence that they have insulted the father-in-law."”
"Is there really such a thing?" Zhang Rang asked.
"That's right," I said. I think it would be better to send a few capable people to resolve this matter. Firstly, it can increase the prestige of the eunuch, and secondly, it can shut the mouths of these ministers.”
"Meng De has someone to choose from," said Zhang Rang.”
I said,"Changsha's Qu Xing is a useless person. I don't think there's a need to mobilize others. Just Sun Jian from Changsha can deal with Qu Xing."”
"Suppressing Sun Jian of the Yellow Turbans?" Zhang Rang asked.”
"That's him," I said.
"What about Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun from Yuyang?" Zhang Rang asked.”
"Let Liu Yu be the Shepherd of Youzhou and lead the troops to attack Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun," I said. I think these bandits are a motley crew. As long as we send troops, they will fall apart. When the time came, the person recommended would be Daren. That would be a testament to Daren's heart for the country and the people.“
"Everything will be up to Meng De," said Zhang Rang. It's getting late, and I have to go back to the palace. Meng De should rest early. He still has to meet the emperor in the Golden Palace tomorrow. Alright, I'm leaving."
Looking at Zhang Rang who left with a smug expression, I said,"It seems that this matter is almost over.”Xun walked out from behind the scenes and said," It's a pity that this person is a eunuch. He is definitely very good at dealing with people. He dared to come to the lord's mansion alone without knowing the lord's intentions. This courage is something that He Jin and the others can't compare to." In my opinion, the eunuchs have the upper hand in this struggle for official positions. And He Jin's little measure would be taken care of by this person sooner or later.”
I said,"Wen Ruo's eyes are like torches, I think this matter is about right."”
