Chapter 19

The next morning, Zhang Chi got up and went to the military mansion. Santong Daoxuan was all white, so it was inconvenient to follow him in such an occasion, so only Ding Yi and Zhang Chi followed him.

The two of them walked through the Suzaku Gate and came to the Wuli Imperial Road in front of the palace city. The government offices and temples in Jiankang City were all located on both sides of this avenue.

Ding Yizhi led Zhang Chi to the gate of the military mansion and said, "Brother, this is the military mansion, let me go in with you."

In fact, Zhang Chi is still a little confused about this cousin. In fact, I am not his cousin, and he knows it, but why does he just want to recognize himself as his cousin?

Zhang Chi has been puzzled in his heart these days.

Ding Yizhi did not say it clearly, and Zhang Chi did not ask. Zhang Chi had a casual personality. Anyway, he had just come from time to time. Ding Yizhi was born in a famous family of aristocratic families and had a handsome appearance. If you want money, you have wealth than yourself. You need sex, and you have sex with sex. What can you do with yourself?





The King of Kuaiji Sima Daozi was sitting in the lobby of the military mansion, browsing deeply.

As the emperor's uncle, Emperor An was foolish and incompetent, and the power in the court was always in control of him, the King of Kuaiji. Logically speaking, he had a high position and power, so what could make him feel bored? However, in the past two days, such a thing has indeed happened, which made him feel overwhelmed.

The reason is actually very simple: there are children singing anti-folk songs in the streets and alleys.

"The secret of heaven appears, and the world is rebelling. The leader of the poor family is white horse and green shirt." Sima Daozi read the nursery rhyme presented by Wang Xun and said furiously: "This is clearly a rebellion!"

Then he ordered Wang Guobao to say, "Catch all the children and their relatives who sang this nursery rhyme and must not let the nursery rhyme spread."

In this era, rumors are still very powerful. The decline of the imperial courts in all dynasties was symptomatic of nursery rhymes. No wonder Sima Daozi was so nervous.

"I'm afraid this rumor was deliberately spread." Wang Guobao said.

Wang Guobao's statement reminded Sima Daozi: "Yes, catch those children and ask about the root of the rumors."

Sima Daozi stayed in the court for a long time and became angry and still felt a little majestic.

"Yes." Wang Guobao nodded, and then said in contemplation: "Now the imperial court wants to seek the vassal states, will it be that the vassal states have already realized it, so there are abnormal movements?"

Sima Daozi had a deep brow and raised his forehead with his hands. When he thought that all the vassal states and clans held heavy troops in their hands, Sima Daozi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

If Wang Guobao is the best skill, it is probably to observe his expression. At this time, he saw the King of Kuaiji with a deep brow, and then stepped forward and said, "If you want to seek the vassal state, you must eliminate the former general Wang Gong and the governor of Jingzhou Yin Zhongkan. Kuaiji Wang should make plans early, but later, there may be changes."

"Do you have any good ideas?" asked Sima Daozi, the King of Kuaiji.

Wang Guobao pondered for a moment and looked at Wang Xun beside him.

Although Wang Xun was appointed as the Minister of State, Wang Guobao is in power now, but Wang Xun, the Minister of State, has no real power. Wang Xun is much older than Wang Guobao. At this time, he stood aside, closed his eyes and twisted his beards. After a while, he opened his eyes. Seeing that Wang Guobao was looking at him, he said, "Sir, you and I are the ministers in the same palace. Besides, the daughter has just decided to marry the dog son. You and I are a family. Is there any inconvenience to say it clearly?"

Wang Guobao was relieved, lowered his voice and said to Sima Daozi: "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is better to summon two of them to the capital in the name of reporting their duties and withdraw their military power. If they are not convinced, then..."

Wang Guobao didn't say it later, but I'm afraid anyone could hear the meaning. Wang Guobao smiled slightly before continuing: "As long as the military power is in hand, these are okay."

Sima Daozi couldn't help but nod and said, "You have a clever plan, that's great."

While the three of them were discussing, they heard someone outside the hall report, saying, "You have reported to the King of Kuaiji that the person recommended by Sanwu Academy has arrived outside the mansion."

"Travel." Sima Daozi's deep-lost brows had already stretched out and said with his eyebrows raised.

Zhang Chi wore a blue shirt and walked into the hall with Ding Yizhi. After the salute was finished, the King of Kuaiji was displeased when he saw that he had not applied red powder on his face. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, if he did not apply red powder on his face, he would go to see someone, just like he was not wearing a suit when he was going to interview now, and Zhang Chi was still wearing an ordinary blue shirt, which would be even more unreasonable.

Zhang Chi naturally couldn't feel anything. He had never had the habit of putting on makeup, but in the eyes of the King of Kuaiji, it was completely different.

In the eyes of the Kuaiji King, he saw someone coming to the interviewer. It would be fine if he didn't wear a suit, but instead he was wearing a pair of big flower shorts.

Sima Daozi felt unhappy, so he reflected on his face, stretched his face and asked, "Are you the one who was recommended by Miss Wang to join the army?"

Seeing Zhang Chi nodding, Sima Daozi said, "Since it was recommended by Miss Wang, I believe there may be something extraordinary. I wonder where you are?"

Before Zhang Chi could speak, Ding Yizhi said: "Report to King Kuaiji, my brother Zhang Chi is known for his talent."

"Who are you?" Sima Daozi asked.

"Student Ding Yizhi, Shanyin, Kuaiji."

Sima Daozi is the King of Kuaiji, and his fief is Kuaiji. Sima Daozi has heard of Ding, Shanyin of Kuaiji, and said, "It turns out that he is your brother. Maybe he really has some talent knowledge, but he doesn't know what the specific knowledge is?"

Ding Yizhi smiled slightly and said, "Recently, famous scholars in Jiangdong all said that in the past 200 years of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, only three masterpieces can be passed down from generation to generation. I wonder if the King of Kuaiji had heard of it?"

"What are the three wise men?" Sima Daozi asked.

"These three excerpts are: Zhang Shi Wang's name and Zi Jian's article." Ding Yizhi replied.

"What is it referring to?" Sima Daozi asked.

"Zi Jian's articles naturally refer to Cao Zhi's poems and fu. Cao Zhi is well-versed in history and modern times, and his poems and fu are written in thousands of words and expresses them in a complete way. This is a unique feature." Ding Yizhi said.

Sima Daozi nodded, and Ding Yizhi continued: "This second best is the character Wang Youjun. The character Wang Youjun is graceful and vigorous, even more peerless, and of course it is also a unique one."

As soon as he finished speaking, even Wang Xun was twisting his beard and nodding frequently. Wang Youjun was naturally Wang Xizhi, and Wang Xizhi was Wang Xun's uncle. Wang Xun was influenced by his youth, so his attainment in calligraphy was also quite good. At this time, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Ding Yizhi praising his uncle's words.

"This is the third ultimate," Ding Yizhi continued: "It is the poem by my brother Zhang Chi. My brother's poem has a magnificent artistic conception, a majestic momentum, and a flowing and undustrous one. It can be the three ultimates."

"It's nonsense." As soon as Ding Yizhi finished speaking, Wang Xun stopped. Wang Xizhi was his uncle, so it would be okay to be on par with Cao Zhi. But if the same junior was called the Three Masters, where could he put his face?

When Wang Xun heard that Ding Yizhi actually called Zhang Chiyu's uncle Wang Xizhi as famous, he couldn't help but say angrily: "It's nonsense."

Ding Yizhi smiled slightly and said, "My brother first came to Jiankang, and his reputation has just gradually gained. No wonder Lord Wang didn't know. If Lord Wang didn't believe it, he could send someone to a teahouse and a restaurant where literati gather. On a visit, he could tell that the saying "Three Distinguisheds" by the scholars in Jiangnan have already made this statement, and when drinking, they all chant my brother's poems."

Seeing that Ding Yizhi was so sure, Wang Xun stopped talking while twisting his beard. He just kept looking at Zhang Chi while twisting his beard.

What kind of person is Wang Xun? I am afraid that few people will be able to laugh when they are so angry that Zhang Chi can't help but feel a little scared when he smiles.

"Young Master Zhang can ride a white horse?" Wang Xun suddenly changed the topic.

Zhang Chi nodded mechanically for no reason.

Wang Xun bowed to the King of Kuaiji, but took two steps back and stopped talking.

His words were of course a reminder to Sima Daozi about the proverb that "the secret of heaven appears, the world rebelled. The leader of the poor family is white horse and blue shirt."

The Wang family of Langya has been a prominent rank in the court for all generations, and Wang Xun has lived in the court for a long time. Although he is old now, it is true that people are old and ghosts are old. Zhang Chi is wearing a blue shirt. Moreover, with Wang Xun's ability to recognize people for many years, he can tell at a glance that this person is definitely not from a prominent rank.

Wang Xun knew the art of power and plotting well, but asked lightly, saying that he was both a blue shirt and a white horse, so he no longer had the label of "a suspect in rebellion" on Zhang Chi without any trace.

With Wang Xun's scheming, without any evidence, he certainly would not explicitly point out that Zhang Chi is the one who is a proverb. In the future, he will inevitably give him a handle if he is used by someone with a heart. That's why he just asked so simply that the implication was that Sima Daozi, as the King of Kuaiji, could naturally think of it.

It's true.

Although Sima Daozi is indulging in his daily life and does not care much about the government, he is left to Wang Guobao, his confidant, but after all, he is in a prominent position, so how could he not know what Wang Xun meant?

"Since that's the case..." Sima Daozi wanted to speak but stopped, and wanted to stop Zhang Chi, but he thought that Zhang Chi was originally recommended by Miss Wang, and he was afraid in his heart, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "Since it was recommended by Miss Wang, you should be the new army as Miss Wang said, but you don't know military affairs. I need to arrange another general for you. I hope you can work together and serve the court together."

"Mr. Ding's family is a prominent clan in Kuaiji. Now that the new army is just starting to be established, it is time to hire people. Why not come to the army and temporarily entrust Mr. Ding as the main position. How about it?" Sima Daozi turned to Ding Yizhi again and asked.

"Thank you for your kindness to know the favor of the King of Kuaiji." Ding Yizhi said with a chic polite manner.





After Wang Guobao explained some matters, the two came out of the military palace at noon. Ding Yizhi walked around and said to Zhang Chi: "It was originally a military system since the Jin Dynasty. If you join the army, you can lead troops independently. Can you tell me why the King of Kuaiji arranged another general for his brother?"

Zhang Chi didn't know this. After thinking about it, he said, "Or is the King of Kuaiji worried that I don't know military affairs and have a burden, so he found someone with experience to help me?"

Unexpectedly, when Ding Yizhi heard this, he smiled and said to Zhang Chi: "Brother, you are really my kind brother."

"Is the arrangement of King Kuaiji has other profound meanings?"

"Brother, the world is about to be in chaos, and the desire to guard against others is inevitable for a while." Ding Yizhi said.

"Who is the son of the gentry who knows military affairs now? They are all in high positions and have important positions." Ding Yizhi continued, "If the King of Kuaiji was afraid that the young master was recommended by Miss Wang, I am afraid that not only would not be so smooth, but there would be a big disaster."

Zhang Chi was naturally completely unaware of the joints. He heard Ding Yizhi say this and asked: "Ms. Wang has no official position, so why is Wang Gui of Kuaiji the prince and is afraid of Miss Wang?"

"The King of Kuaiji is afraid of Miss Wang, not afraid of her identity, but her mind." Ding Yizhi smiled slightly and said, "Although Miss Wang has no official position and is a daughter, she has a lot of thoughts. I'm afraid that even if the situation in the world is hanging in the hands of Miss Wang, it is not an exaggeration."

I knew Miss Wang was so powerful, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful, Zhang Chi said.

"It's just a pity," Ding Yizhi continued: "Miss Wang's father, Lord Wang Guobao, is stubborn and self-righteous, and has no courage. Miss Wang may have the power of the sky, and it is difficult to use it."

"Wang Xun is a man with a very cunning and scheming. I'm afraid that Wang Guobao will not be able to defeat him in the end." Ding Yizhi continued.

Just based on these words, Zhang Chi could see that the cousin he picked up was also a beautiful figure.
