Mi Han

The Fufeng Fa Clan and the Chenliu Wu Clan are both gentry clans, and it is normal for the same gentry clan to help each other sometimes.

But in the same way, if a certain gentry has received favor from another gentry before, then according to the style of the gentry at the time, this favor must be repaid by looking for opportunities.

Only when there is coming and going can we achieve the same spirit.

Wu Yi has experienced many years in the world, and now he has seen that Fa Miao's arrival is not kind.

But he, who was born in a gentry, has no way or courage to break the unspoken rules among the gentry.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural for Wu Yi to agree to Fa Miao's invitation out of desperation.

This is why Mi Yang sent Fa Miao to invite Wu Yi.

Among Mi Yang's current officials, Fa Miao is not the most clever, but his background is the best.

Being from a famous family in the world, Fa Miao can easily do some things.

Fa Miao is not good at words, now that the task assigned to him by Mi Yang has been completed, he has no intention of staying.

After paying homage to the Wu brothers, Fa Miao expressed the intention of saying goodbye.

Originally, Wu Yi wanted to get up and send Fa Miao off, but his kindness was declined by Fa Miao.

Before the Wu brothers could react, Fa Miao left the living room on his own.

After Fa Miao left, the loyal smile on Wu Yi's face disappeared instantly.

Compared with the change in Wu Yi's expression, Wu Ban's reaction after Fa Miao left was more intense.

Wu Ban raised the wine glass in his hand, and after drinking it quickly, because of the anger in his heart, he slammed the empty wine glass in his hand on the food table in front of him.

With the loud noise of the collision between the wine glass and the food table, Wu Ban also complained full of dissatisfaction:

"The three nobles of the state dynasty have always been held by the elites of the gentry.

Although France Manjusri is still young, it is reasonable for him to come from a famous family and inherit the honor of his father.

Lu Jiyang also came from a famous family in Nanyang, and he has a lot of political voices in Hanxing, so I can understand that he should be in charge of politics.

As for Deng Ai!
He was born in a humble family, and he has a disability, but unlike Ding Feng, Zhang Ni and others who have military exploits, why should he be the chief bookkeeper?

Is it just because of Mi Yang's love for him?
Is it a good thing for me, Liangzhou, for Zhou Mu to be nepotistic and use Xing Chen as soon as he takes office? "

Due to the anger in his heart, Wu Ban had a lot of complaints in his mouth.

Moreover, Wu Ban's disdain for Deng Ai in his words can be said to be obvious.

Wu Yi clearly listened to Wu Ban's every complaint, but he just drank his wine silently, and did not rush to respond to Wu Ban's words.

It's just that the occasional grievances in Wu Yi's eyes revealed his true thoughts invisibly.

In the impression of many people, Wu Yi's character is quite honest and not good at fighting with others, but that's just that most people don't know Wu Yi well.

Wu Yi was from Chenliu County, Yanzhou, and his uncle Wu Kuang was an official of the Eastern Han Dynasty General He Jin.

In addition to his uncle's previous important positions, many members of the Chenliu Wu clan also served as officials in various places in the Central Plains.

According to the normal development, Wu Yiruo has been staying in the Central Plains, relying on his family prestige, he will not worry about not having a career as an official.

But decades ago, Wu Yi, who was still young, made a jaw-dropping move.

After Liu Yan moved to be the shepherd of Yizhou, Wu Yi brought his whole family to Shu with Liu Yan.

Although the nominal reason for Wu Yi's search at that time was that Liu Yan had a good relationship with his father, in fact Wu Yi's original intention was not like this.

It is true that there were many gentry who came to Yizhou from the north to join Liu Yan, and it was because of those gentry that a special political force, the Dongzhou faction, formed in Yizhou.

However, the vast majority of the officials of the Dongzhou faction were forced to enter Yizhou in order to escape. Wu Yi, who actively followed Liu Yan to leave the Huaxia Center and enter Yizhou, is unique.

And Wu Yi didn't do it himself, he moved his entire family into Yizhou.

You must know that the most important thing for a gentry is the clan prestige in their hometown, which is the most precious wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the clan and left to their descendants.

What's more, the idea of ​​relocating the land was very strong in the Han Dynasty.

Unless the people of the world are in danger of their lives, they will not make such a move to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

Under such circumstances, Wu Yi resolutely made such a big sacrifice, and his thinking must not be simple.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If there are not enough interests, Wu Yi has no reason to do so.

But what Wu Yi wanted at the time was actually simple.

At that time, Liu Yan was the shepherd of Yizhou, which was equivalent to the local emperor of Yizhou. It was Liu Yan who Wu Yi took a fancy to.

The whole family followed Liu Yan to Shu, which was just a speculative behavior of Wu Yi.

Wu Yi is a person who is good at speculating and dares to speculate.

If not, Wu Yi's younger sister would not have become the wife of Liu Mao and Liu Bei.

Those who are good at speculators must have a strong desire for power.

Others may not know Wu Yi very well, but Wu Ban, who has followed Wu Yi since he was a child, of course knows that his elder brother is definitely not as indifferent as he is now.

So after finishing those words, Wu Ban continued to speak to Wu Yi:
"Brother, Zhou Mu's arrangement doesn't take you seriously."

Wu Ban's words revealed his true thoughts.

Just now, the complaint in his heart was under the guise of worrying about Liangzhou's future. Now that Wu Yi didn't respond to his words, Wu Ban could only stop hiding his true thoughts.

Wu Ban's real thought is: the three nobles in the state, no matter what, Wu Yi should have a piece of the pie.

In fact, it is normal for Wu Ban to have such thoughts.

It is true that Wu Yi is now the general of Zhengbei and the prefect of Hanzhong. After Wei Yan was deprived of his military power by Mi Yang, Wu Yi was already the second most powerful figure in the Liangzhou military and a senior official of two thousand shi.

But in the Han Dynasty, there was never such a thing as the separation of the military and the government.

When Han people hold important positions, they usually take into account both military and political aspects. This is also one of the signs that the Han people are considered to be of high status.

This is a tradition of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Han Chinese.

Moreover, the official positions in the Han Dynasty have a very important feature, that is, they emphasize power but not position.

Although the three positions of Biejia, Zhizhong, and Chief Registrar are only officials of Qianshi, it is hard not to be tempted by the power held by these three positions.

Only those who enter the state can be counted as one of the famous characters in Liangzhou.

Otherwise, no matter how much power you hold in your hands now, it will be like a flower in a mirror, which is not safe.

At present, in the entire Liangzhou, Wu Yi is not inferior to anyone in terms of background, and Wu Yi is only inferior to Wei Yan and Mi Yang in terms of prestige.

So Wu Ban couldn't figure out how Mi Yang would prevent Wu Yi from becoming one of the three nobles of the Zhou Dynasty.

Especially Wu Ban was even more angry at Mi Yang's act of letting Deng Ai climb on top of his Wu brothers.

After thinking about it, Wu Ban can only come to the conclusion that Mi Yang doesn't take Wu Yi seriously.

Wu Ban has this layer of resentment in his heart, how could Wu Yi not?

It's just that compared to Wu Ban, Wu Yi is more resentful about not being able to hold more power.

After listening to Wu Ban's words, Wu Yi let out a heavy cold snort:

"enough."

Although Wu Yi's words were to prevent Wu Ban from continuing to speak, it was enough to see from his tone that he was also in a very bad mood.

Obviously, what Wu Ban just said had an effect.

Wu Yi was still very dignified in front of Wu Ban. Seeing that Wu Yi was angry, Wu Ban stopped talking about this matter in due course.

It's just that besides anger, Wu Ban still has doubts in his heart.

Wu Ban asked Wu Yi in puzzlement, "Brother thinks that Zhou Mu sent Fa Miao to invite you and my brothers to the banquet this time, what is his intention?"

Wu Ban's doubts made Wu Yi turn his attention to this matter.

Judging from Mi Yang's personnel arrangements for Zhou Dynasty, it is obvious that he has no good impressions of himself and Wu Ban. If so, will he suddenly invite himself and Wu Ban to a banquet?
And judging from Mi Yang's act of sending Fa Miao to invite, Mi Yang undoubtedly made up his mind to let him go to the banquet.

Mi Yang's actions made Wu Yi feel suspicious.

Of course, even though there is a precedent of Mi Yang hosting a banquet to arrest Shen Dan, Wu Yi and Wu Ban will not doubt that Mi Yang is trying to harm them.

The situation is different, and Mi Yang has no reason to do so.

Unless Mi Yang wants to rebel.

And this doubt is undoubtedly ridiculous.

But precisely because this reason was ruled out, Wu Yi was even more puzzled.

But Wu Yi didn't get too entangled in this matter, he just said to Wu Ban: "As long as we have the military power, he must be cautious before doing anything."

Hearing what Wu Yi said, a smile appeared on Wu Ban's face, and a feeling of reliance began to surface in his heart.

Military power is the biggest capital that allows the Wu brothers to stand firm through several power changes.

When Wu Yi saw a smile on Wu Ban's face, for some reason, the sensitivity he had cultivated over the years made him feel a little worried.

Wu Yi, who was restless, got up slowly and walked to the door of the living room with his hands behind his back. His eyes were looking in the direction of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Thinking that Mi Yang might be brewing some plans in the State Shepherd's Mansion, Wu Yi felt more and more uneasy.

Wu Yi was able to lead the Chenliu Wu family step by step in the troubled times to today, his means should not be underestimated.

Thinking of the deal he made in the past, and the ups and downs he had experienced in the past, Wu Yi sighed inadvertently.

He is not a treacherous person, he is just a layman with a desire for power, and people like him abound in today's world.

It's just that Wu Yi thought that in the past, whenever he made some sacrifices to get support, he often couldn't get what he wanted most.

Originally, relying on his relationship with Liu Yan, he was the leader of the Dongzhou faction.

But what he never expected was that as some characters gradually showed their talents later, his position as the leader of the Dongzhou faction began to become unstable.

After Fazheng was born, he was completely pulled down from the position of leader of the Dongzhou faction.

Later, he returned to Liu Bei in time, and through a transaction, he helped his sister Wu to take the position of Liu Bei's wife, thinking that he would be able to feel completely proud from now on.

But what he didn't expect was that when he chose the governor of Hanzhong, even though Liu Bei abandoned Zhang Fei, he still didn't make him the governor of Hanzhong. On the contrary, he suddenly promoted Wei Yan to climb over him.

After finally waiting for Wei Yan to leave, Wu Yi thought that he would finally be able to straighten things up. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei arranged for Mi Yang to become the shepherd of Liangzhou, making him the second in command again.

Could it be that he is the life of the second child in a thousand years?
But he is a foreign relative!

Thinking of this, Wu Yi was filled with unwillingness.

Maybe it's time to write a letter urging the Queen to be more friendly with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

If the first lord dies and the young lord comes to court, the Queen Mother will often be regent. This has been a political tradition since the Han Dynasty.

Maybe that day is the time for Wu Yi to really rise.

Time always flies by.

The day for Mi Yang to entertain the ministers of Liangzhou has come.

Early this morning, Mi Yang got up to freshen up under Guan Yan's service.

Mi Yang has a lot of maids, but Mi Yang prefers to have Guan Yan come instead of letting the maids serve him.

Mi Yang enjoyed his wife taking care of everything for him.

Of course, Guan Yan also enjoys these things.

When Guan Yan was arranging Mi Yang's clothes, Guan Yan whispered to Mi Yang:
"General Zhengbei and my husband are both relatives, and they have great prestige in Hanzhong. Why is my husband so anxious to seize his military power?"

As Mi Yang's other number one think tank, Guan Yan naturally knew the purpose of Mi Yang's banquet today.

It's just that Guan Yan, who has a gentle temperament, doesn't agree with Mi Yang's radical approach.

Guan Yan felt that as long as Wu Yi was quieter, she didn't have to seize his military power.

After Mi Yang heard Guan Yan's doubts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Some of his confidants already knew the purpose of his banquet today.

It's just that after knowing his intentions, those confidants didn't dissuade Mi Yang either out of flattery, selfishness, or indifference.

Only his wife, Guan Yan, would speak out the different views in her heart without any scruples.

Faced with Guan Yan's doubts, Mi Yang asked Guan Yan back: "Does Yinping know why I rejected Manjusri's proposal and prevent Wu Yi from becoming the governor of Liangzhou?"

Seeing that Mi Yang asked herself suddenly, Guan Yan's hands that were tidying up Mi Yang's collar suddenly stopped, and her small face showed a look of surprise at the right time.

Guan Yan's studious appearance made Mi Yang laugh out loud. He pinched Guan Yan's face and said:
"Wu Yi is not my confidant, and he has a heavy army in his hands. If he is allowed to have the power to govern, he, who came from a noble family, will inevitably hinder me in the future.

Maybe Wu Yi is indifferent and won't do anything to hinder me.

But to me, someone holding a knife on the side of the couch and not holding a knife may have the same result as no one holding a knife, but these are two different things.

Just like when I was in Hanxing County, what I want is to let the government go by myself, not to have scruples. "

Hearing what Mi Yang said, Guan Yan nodded with a half understanding.

Maybe she is naturally intelligent, but she still doesn't know enough about some things.

Mi Yang is also a layman, he has always been a person with a strong desire for power, and this has never changed.

Within a reasonable range, Mi Yang never gave up the opportunity to hold all the power.

After listening to Mi Yang's words, Guan Yan showed some understanding on her face, but she continued to ask: "General Zhengbei is also considered a talent, is it true that your husband will abandon him from now on?"

Facing Guan Yan's question, Mi Yang just smiled and didn't answer.

At this time, his clothes were almost finished, so he lifted the sword in the hand of the maid beside him, and then walked towards the banquet hall.

Whether to use it or not depends on Wu Yi's next performance.
