Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 40 039, I'm here to send money

Liu Bei patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder: "Fourth brother, our brothers depend on each other for their lives, not to mention mere money, just use it. You don't need to say hello to big brother about money in the future, big brother believes in you."

Chen Yuan nodded, feeling warm in his heart.

However, Liu Bei suddenly smiled: "Fourth brother, you can use the money, but you can't let the big brother, the second brother, the third brother, and the brothers in the camp go hungry, otherwise, your third brother will have to talk to you at night." .”

When Liu Bei said that Zhang Fei was going to talk with him at night by candlelight, Chen Yuan collapsed immediately.

It's nothing to talk at Bingzhu night, but once the talk is over, it's okay to sleep on the same bed. The key is Zhang Fei's snoring, which is simply earth-shattering, like thunder, shaking people's ears.

Chen Yuan said he couldn't bear it.

Regardless of Chen Yuan's collapsed expression, Liu Bei laughed and went back to the tent.

Liu Bei and Chen Yuan are brothers in love, and Zuo Feng and Lu Zhi are tit for tat.

After everyone went out, Zuo Feng showed a greedy face.

His face changed: "Lu Zhi, the emperor ordered you to break through Guangzong and capture Zhang Jiao as soon as possible. Why do you delay? Could it be that you are disrespectful to the emperor?"

Lu Zhi's face was calm: "The Huangmen don't understand military strategy, so don't speak nonsense, don't you hear that the generals are disobeyed by military orders abroad? The door is bothering."

Lu Zhi has such a staunch character, how can he allow mere eunuchs to question his military strategy.

Zuo Fengqi's face turned red.

You Lu Zhi, how dare you bully me like this.

Zuo Feng simply tore his face: "Lu Zhi, don't be so arrogant, if you can take out 500 taels of gold, Ben Huangmen can still speak well for you in front of His Majesty, if not, you will just wait to be dismissed from office Bar."

Lu Zhi sneered: "It's a mere eunuch, don't dare to ask me for bribes, don't blame me for being disrespectful if you talk too much."

As he said that, Lu Zhi released a powerful coercion, thinking that Zuo Feng would crush him.

Lu Zhi was a great Confucianist at that time, a well-known official in the country, he followed the path of spirit and soul, and his cultivation base was very powerful.

Although Zuo Feng also obtained the exercises from Zhang Rang, and he practiced well, he was only a fifth rank. How could he withstand the coercion of Lu Zhi, a second rank soul powerhouse? Sitting on the ground, I lost all face.

Seeing Zuo Feng sitting on the ground, Lu Zhi snorted disdainfully, then threw Zuo Feng out of the big tent with a wave of his hand, apparently not wanting to see him anymore.

The reason why Lu Zhi did this was that he had the confidence to do so. As a general of Zhonglang, he had tens of thousands of Northern Army soldiers under his command, and he was also a well-known Confucian at home. He had a very high prestige and status.

The second is that Lu Zhi has a stubborn personality. It would be fine if Zuo Feng didn't ask for bribes.

If it weren't for his scruples, Lu Zhi might have dared to kill this guy.

Who is the scruples?
Naturally Zhang Rang.

This guy Zhang Rang is really not easy to mess with, and his cultivation level is fine. The key is to make the emperor call him father in confusion. In terms of trust, he can be called the number one in the court.

The ten permanent servants headed by Zhang Rang have formed a powerful force in the court, which can be called the eunuch party. Many literati and military generals are attached to Zhang Rang, which makes Zhang Rang's power very powerful.

The power of the entire imperial court can now be divided into several groups, the clan headed by the emperor, the relatives headed by the general He Jin, the eunuch headed by Zhang Rang, and the Qingliu officials headed by Yuan Kai and Yang Biao.

These forces are only roughly divided and not very clear. Many people are both in the Qingliu and relatives, and some are still in the clan forces.

In short, the struggle between the several forces in the imperial court has never stopped, and even intensified.

As a Qingliu, Lu Zhi naturally wouldn't have a good impression of the eunuchs.

Zuo Feng was thrown out of the account with a wave of Lu Zhi's big sleeve, and his face turned pale with anger.

However, this guy is a person who understands current affairs. He knows that he is no match for Lu Zhi. If he troubles Lu Zhi again, this guy might really kill himself.

Therefore, Zuo Feng got up with an ugly face, slapped the dust off his body, gave the big tent a vicious look, and walked towards his tent without saying a word.

He has made up his mind, set off immediately, return to Luoyang, and will definitely sue Lu Zhi to Zhang Rang, not letting you, an old man, be dismissed from office, and the hatred in my heart will not be relieved.

Just as Zuo Feng was walking towards his tent, Chen Yuan was already standing in front of Zuo Feng's tent.

Since Chen Yuan knew that Zuo Feng asked Lu Zhi for bribes, and Lu Zhi would definitely not agree, Zuo Feng must be in a bad mood at this time.

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't run into Zuo Feng on the way, wouldn't that be self-inflicted?

Therefore, Chen Yuan waited in front of Zuo Feng's camp. This distance can also calm Zuo Feng down and make it easier for him to operate.

Chen Yuan's idea is very simple, bribe Zuo Feng, and then take the opportunity to get to know Zhang Rang.

The 1000 taels of gold are the intermediary fee and the official money.

Don't think that a thousand taels of gold is a lot.

1000 taels of gold is equivalent to 1000 million yuan, and in this era, a big guy spent [-] million yuan to buy a Sangong.

It was after Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty started selling officials and nobles, Cao Cao's father Cao Song bought a Sangong for 1 million yuan, that is, [-] taels of gold.

Originally, it was not so expensive. Before him, there was another person named Cui Lie who spent 500 million yuan to buy a third position.

However, Emperor Han Ling said that it was too cheap to sell like this, so when it came to Cao Song, it became [-] million.

Therefore, buying a Jiuqing for 1000 taels is still a little short, and buying a prefect is more than enough.

Chen Yuan planned to use 700 taels to buy an official, and 300 taels as an intermediary fee.

100 taels were given to Zuo Feng, 200 taels were given to Zhang Rang, and the rest was money for buying officials.

Zuo Feng walked towards his tent with a gloomy expression, thinking about how to deal with Lu Zhi.

Suddenly seeing Chen Yuan standing in front of his tent, he naturally had no good face: "Who are you, why are you standing in front of my tent?"

Chen Yuan hurriedly saluted: "Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu, who are subordinate to Captain Liu Xuande, have seen Huangmen."

Zuo Feng had no expression on his face, he had heard of Liu Bei's reputation, but he didn't see the mere official position of riding captain, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Yuan knew it was useless to talk too much, so he directly revealed the gold hidden in his bosom: "Yuan come to send gold to Zuo Gong."

Zuo Feng was a very greedy person, when he saw the yellow scarf in Chen Yuan's arms, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

When Chen Yuan put the gold back into his arms again, Zuo Feng withdrew his gaze.

At this time Zuo Feng's face changed, he laughed and said: "I have heard about Xuande's name in Luoyang, but I saw him today, he really is a person who understands current affairs."

With that said, Zuo Feng let Chen Yuan into the tent.
