After Wang Rui left the city, he stopped by Longhu Village. He told the people in the village about Liu Heng's achievements, and the whole village cheered!
Liu Heng was their protector. Now, this protector was protecting their homeland and the entire Youzhou Province!
Zhen Yi, Tong Yuan, and Zheng Xuan couldn't stop laughing when they heard Liu Heng's achievements.
Liu Heng was their son-in-law or disciple. Liu Heng had made such a great contribution, so they naturally had face!
They didn't stop Wang Rui! And Zhen Yi even asked Wang Rui to bring his steward to Luoyang City!
Although Liu Heng had made such a great achievement, if Wang Rui didn't give him some tips when he reported the victory, then this great achievement might become a small achievement, or even no achievement!
The Zhen family had a branch in Luoyang City, where they could withdraw some money to bribe those officials!
Wang Rui didn't refuse. In fact, Liu Heng had the same plan!
As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to see, but the little devil is difficult to deal with! Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he still had to spend money when he needed to!
Wang Rui rested for a while in Longhu Villa before continuing his journey to Luoyang City!
Wang Rui and the others rode their horses at full speed and rushed to Luoyang City almost non-stop. Five days later, they finally arrived at Luoyang!
When they arrived, it was already a little late!
Wang Rui asked the Zhen family's steward to arrange a place for them to stay and was prepared to report to the imperial court the next day!
After the other people were arranged, Wang Rui and the steward of the Zhen family quietly walked out. The two of them took some gold and treasures from the branch of the Zhen family in Luoyang City, and then went to visit the ministers in the court according to Liu Heng's instructions.
However, the first person to visit was not these officials, but the head of the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court, the Great Eunuch. Zhang Rang!
As the head of the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court, Zhang Rang was deeply trusted by the Emperor. He was addressed as " Father " by the current Emperor. With his help, Liu Heng did not have to worry about his credit being erased!
Moreover, although Zhang Rang was a greedy person, he knew how to do things after receiving money!
As for the others, He Jin, who was a consort, was only a servant now. He did not have much power. Moreover, this person was too jealous. If he asked him for help, it would instead cause trouble. Good intentions would do bad things! He might as well not say it!
As for those aristocratic families, they were not good people. They did not even put the emperor in their eyes, so they naturally had a suppressive attitude towards Liu Heng, this new power!
Fortunately, there were still some scholars who could help. Moreover, they were more loyal to the imperial court. When Lu Zhi's people brought them to visit, they would not make things difficult for Liu Heng on account of Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan! Therefore, there was no need to rush!
It was already late, and Zhang Rang had already returned to his mansion. He had just finished eating and was about to rest when he suddenly received a visit. It was a little strange.
Who would come to visit at this time? However, no matter who it was, since he was here, he would definitely make a fortune!
Moreover, since they had chosen to come at this time, the gifts they offered were naturally more abundant! Therefore, he was still very happy to let her in!
Wang Rui and the steward of the Zhen family were brought into the hall. They saw an old man without a beard and knew that he was Zhang Rang. They knelt down together and said,"Greetings, Marquis Zhang!"
Zhang Rang had already been conferred the title of Marquis by Liu Hong, which was why Wang Rui and the others said that he was Marquis Zhang's!
Zhang Rang saw that their clothes were rather luxurious and knew that they were from rich families, so he nodded and said,"Get up!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" The two of them said together.”
Zhang Rang saw that they did not look like people who had come to seek an official position. Instead, they looked like servants from a rich family, so he asked directly,"Why have you come this time? Who is your master?"
Since Zhang Rang could tell that they weren't the masters, he naturally couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with them. He had been fighting for power with the people of the great clans for a while now, so he was very busy!
"Lord Marquis!" Wang Rui quickly replied. We are Youzhou's Marquis of Anping, Liu Heng's men. We are here to greet Marquis Zhang on behalf of our young duke!”
With that, he took out a brocade box and handed it to Zhang Rang.
Liu Heng had given Liu Hong a lot of offerings over the years in exchange for Liu Hong's favor. As Liu Hong's most popular person, Zhang Rang naturally had a share too!
Therefore, he had a deep impression of Liu Heng! Because Liu Heng always gave him a generous gift every time, he really got a lot of benefits. Therefore, when he heard that it was Liu Heng's family, his expression immediately became much more tactful. He smiled and said,"Haha! So it was Marquis Anping's men! Sigh! Your marquis is really too polite!
Why are you still taking gifts from me? You're really treating me as an outsider!"
"You're too kind, Lord Marquis!" Wang Rui said with a smile. You've always taken care of our Lord Marquis. Our Lord Marquis doesn't even know how to repay you!
Moreover, this is just some local specialties from our countryside for Lord Marquis to taste! It's not expensive!"
Zhang Rang placed the brocade box in front of him. The weight was clearly not light. There must be some gold inside. How could it be a local specialty of the countryside?
Moreover, Liu Heng's specialty was some exquisite glass products, which were even more priceless! How could Zhang Rang not know! Therefore, he accepted it with a smile!
"I wonder what the Marquis has sent you here for?"”
Although Zhang Rang was greedy, there was still a benefit. If he lost the gifts, he would do things for others.
Liu Heng came from a later generation and naturally knew that there were people in the imperial court who were good at being an official, so he had always been friendly to Zhang Rang!
After hearing Zhang Rang's words, Wang Rui told him about what happened in Youzhou Province and Liu Heng's achievements. Then, he said,""Our Lord Marquis knows that some of the great clans in the court are dissatisfied with him and are worried that these people will bury his achievements.
Thus, I would like to ask Lord Marquis to help me report this to the Emperor! Our Lord Marquis doesn't ask for much reward, but he also doesn't wish for his achievements to be divided up by others.”
After saying that, he bowed again!
When Zhang Rang heard this, he could not help but be overjoyed!
During this period of time, he and those scholars and relatives were fighting for power in the court.
However, no one could do anything to each other now!
As Liu Hong's most popular person, Zhang Rang naturally knew that the Emperor was concerned about the battle situation in Youzhou.
Now that Liu Heng had won this great battle, if he were to report it to the emperor, it would definitely make the emperor happy. At that time, he would be able to suppress the arrogance of the scholars and relatives! He might be able to take another step forward!
Moreover, for Liu Heng to have such an official position and title, Zhang Rang could also be considered as half a referee. Liu Heng had achieved such great achievements, so he was also considered famous for his ability to judge people!
So he said,"Haha! He didn't expect that heroes would really come from young people! Your marquis has really done too well!
Don't worry, leave this matter to me! I will definitely speak up in front of His Majesty!
How could the soldiers at the front line, who killed the enemy without fear of death, let some people in the rear divide their achievements?
Wouldn't this hurt the hearts of the soldiers at the front line?”
When Wang Rui heard what Zhang Rang said, he knew that it was a success! He could not help but be overjoyed.
