The Sixth Journey (IV)
Wang Yun's residence was not as lively as Cai's residence. Wang Yun had a kind face, but Jin Xuan knew that Wang Yun was a typical loyal minister. In front of this old man, Jin Xuan was well-behaved and did not dare to be arrogant at all.
"Ling Yue's letter stated that Long Teng is a talented man of both civil and military talent and wishes to serve the Imperial Court. I wonder what Long Teng plans to do?" Wang Yun admired this young man. The power of the eunuchs in the court gradually increased, and General He Jin, who held military power, was not on good terms with these civil officials. There was a lack of upright and talented people in the court.
"I want to seek a foreign post, understand the situation, understand the sufferings of the people, and then enter the capital to serve.”
"Long Teng's talent is renowned far and wide. It is indeed the Great Han's fortune to be able to serve the Imperial Court.”Wang Yun had a good impression of this young man. He continued,"Long Teng will be a pillar of the country in the future, but the place where he works is relatively poor and not as comfortable as the capital."”
"When the heavens are about to give a great responsibility to a person, they must first suffer their will and work their bones. Xuan Xuan was not afraid of poverty and only wanted to do his best for the Great Han until he died.”A few words from the ancients, coupled with his facial expression, immediately moved Wang Yun.
"Long Teng is truly a loyal subject. What a good idea. "Now that Zhang Rang and the others are in charge of the government, I'm afraid that Long Teng…" Wang Yun was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something but stopped.
Jin Xuan was well aware of the matters in the court. "Please recommend him to the court. Minister Zhang and General He will go and arrange it."”
"Alright, I will definitely do my best to recommend you during the court meeting tomorrow.”Wang Yun saw that Jin Xuan was experienced in the ways of the world and knew the trick, so he immediately relaxed.
"Goodbye." Jin Xuan had achieved his goal and got up to leave.
Zhang Rang and He Jin were greedy villains, but the most infuriating one was Zhang Rang. He didn't even open his eyes and only asked,"What position do you want?"
"Governor of Wuling or Changsha."
"Three thousand gold. Someone, bring him to the side room to handle it."
……
It was easy to do things with people in the court. In the court, Wang Yun and Cai Yi jointly recommended him, and Zhang Rang and He Jin also agreed. Jin Xuan served as the prefect of Wuling and was approved by the court.
While waiting for the official documents from the imperial court, Jin Xuan had to attend all kinds of events besides studying poetry, poetry, calligraphy, and painting with Wenji at the Cai residence. Because of his outstanding performance in the Cai Residence, Jin Xuan became famous. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao had all invited him to a banquet.
The Cai Residence was filled with talents, and Jin Xuan's talent was slowly being displayed. With the poems and famous sayings of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Jin Xuan gradually won Wenji's heart.
Jin Xuan's goal of entering and exiting the Cai residence was to bring the beauty home. The biggest obstacle now was that Jin Xuan, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao had already set up a marriage agreement. If he married Wenji, how would his status be arranged?
Jin Xuan and Wenji had known each other for many days and stuck together when they had nothing to do. They were already in love. Jin Xuan felt that no matter how big the obstacles were, he should propose marriage to the Cai family as soon as possible.
"This student and Wenji are in love and wish to marry Wenji.”After preparing the gift, Jin Xuan came to the Cai residence and said solemnly to Cai Yi.
"Isn't Long Teng engaged to Governor Qiao's daughter?”Although Cai Yi liked Jin Xuan, Jin Xuan was already engaged, and now he wanted to marry Wenji, so he couldn't help but feel strange.
"Mister Mingjing once divined for a student, and his fate implicated many people. Wenji has talent and virtue, and soon became his wife. Although Qiao Gong's daughter is engaged, she will be dealt with in the future. Teacher, please grant my wish." Jin Xuan's love for Wenji was born early, so he temporarily put down Qiao's two daughters and wanted to marry Wenji first.
"Allow this old man to discuss this with Zhuo Jing and Wenji. Long Teng will temporarily wait for a few days, and this old man will reply as soon as possible.”Cai Yi had always doted on Wenji. This matter was related to Wenji's happiness, so he decided to ask for his daughter's opinion.
Wenji's marriage was already in sight. Jin Xuan began to think about how to get Diao Chan. Although Jin Xuan was not fated to meet Diao Chan, Diao Chan's reputation was passed down to the later generations. She was one of the four great beauties of the Celestial Empire, so how could Jin Xuan miss out on her? After calculating the excuse, Jin Xuan went to visit Wang Yun.
Wang Yun's residence.
Wang Yun was very happy when he heard that Jin Xuan had come to visit. Wang Yun believed that Jin Xuan was loyal to the imperial court and had outstanding talent, so he was like-minded. Jin Xuan was already a vassal, his future was limitless, and he would definitely become a pillar of the court.
"I can advance an inch. Thank you for your guidance.”After taking a seat, Jin Xuan humbly thanked Wang Yun. After all, Wang Yun had recommended him.
"I came here today to discuss a secret with you.”If Wang Yun did not agree to the proposal, it would be a disgrace.
Wang Yun waved his hand and left.
"Milord, the Ten Generals have harmed the country and are at loggerheads with them. I want to get rid of them.”It is the way of a gentleman to give what you want first. He couldn't be too hasty when he came to seek a stunning beauty. Jin Xuan began to plot against Wang Yun's loyalty.
Wang Yun looked around warily and whispered,""Long Teng's loyalty to the Emperor, this old man is endlessly grateful. However, the Ten Attendants are favored by the Emperor and it is not easy to get rid of them.”
Seeing that Wang Yun was already in the game, Jin Xuan was secretly happy, but his face was very solemn. He said,"Recently, I've seen that Great General He and Zhang Rang have a deep conflict. Why don't we provoke them and let them fight? Although Great General He is in charge of military power, he is not a person who can achieve great things. Zhang Rang and the others are scheming. Why don't you come up with a plan for Great General He and then..."
"Wonderful, wonderful. Long Teng is a talented person.”Wang Yun looked at the youngest prefect of the Han Dynasty with satisfaction.
"Milord, your body is in Wu Ling, but your heart is in the court. After returning to Wuling, I will be diligent in government affairs and strengthen the army. If there is any change in the court, I will be your foreign aid, eliminate the treacherous party, and clean up the side of the monarch.”Jin Xuan expressed his loyalty and promised.
"Good, good, this old master did not misjudge you. Heaven does not destroy the Han Dynasty, because the dragon is the pillar of the country.”Wang Yun couldn't help but shed tears. He was moved by Jin Xuan's loyalty and love for his country.
"Milord, I have a personal request.”Since the atmosphere had been successfully created, he should take the opportunity to make a request. Under such an atmosphere, Wang Yun should not refuse.
"If you have anything to say, please say it. I'll do my best to help.”Wang Yun fell into the trap.
"My master divined that Shi Sheng would have many internal helpers. There is a daughter in Daren's residence who is fated with Xuan. If I ask her to be my wife, Xuan will definitely soar in this life.”Jin Xuan struck while the iron was hot and used the Book of Changes as an excuse.
There were many maids in Wang Yun's residence. She said nonchalantly,""Young people are wasted if they are not romantic. The two daughters of the Qiao family are already engaged to Long Teng, so this old man has no daughter to marry. If there really is such a woman in the residence, I will send you off. Who is this woman?"
"Diao Chan." As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xuan found that Wang Yun was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
Wang Yun wanted to say something but stopped. The two of them looked at each other and were speechless.
Jin Xuan's heart was hanging in the air nervously. If Wang Yun did not agree, he might not be fated with Diao Chan and miss the opportunity.
"Alright." Wang Yun hesitated for a long time and squeezed out the word with great difficulty.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Jin Xuan was afraid that Wang Yun would go back on his word, so he changed the way he addressed him.
"Although Diao Chan is this old man's maid, this old man treats her as my own. Long Teng must treat her well.”Wang Yun said seriously.
"I have another request." Jin Xuan was a little insatiable.
Hearing this, Wang Yun couldn't help but be a little vigilant. Jin Xuan's request just now was equivalent to removing the flesh of his heart. Now, it would probably be difficult for him to ask for it again. Fortunately, Jin Xuan's request this time was not too much.
"Wuling is far from Luoyang," Jin Xuan said."Besides, there are many bandits on the way. When my son-in-law left Luoyang, he wanted to bring her back to Wuling to get married.”
"Be a good person to the end.”At this point, Wang Yun simply fulfilled Jin Xuan's wish. --
