The Infinite Heavens Run Away

247 Chapter 7.3
Chapter 7 I forged the soul of Han in the Three Kingdoms
7.3 Success in buying an official position and longing for civil and military affairs
Deng Feng obviously overestimated the efficiency of work in this era. After half a month, a man dressed as a eunuch finally came to the inn to find him.During this period, Deng Feng entered the palace three times to urge him.

But Empress He could only help with coordination. She had nothing to do outside the palace. The person who was really responsible for the work was General He Jin. However, in order to keep it secret, Deng Feng couldn't even visit him.

What's even more unfortunate is that He Jin, this awesome general, obviously didn't take this matter to heart. The result of all aspects coming together was that a simple matter like contacting the internal response was delayed until half a month later.Fortunately, the spy finally arrived.

"You are Deng Feng, right? Our family came here today to be entrusted by someone to be a recommender for you. For your sake, our family has spent a lot of effort, and finally let the godfather free up some time. You... Just follow along.”

The eunuch spoke to Deng Feng in a disgusting "dead eunuch accent" and showed a condescending expression, which almost made him vomit.

"I heard that the father-in-law raised a nice mastiff in his residence. He likes to eat fish. I wonder if my father-in-law has ever seen it." No matter how disgusting he was, Deng Feng could only endure it, and he couldn't forget to verify his identity.

"Are you mistaken? My godfather only likes to keep tabby cats and has never raised any dogs." The eunuch's face finally turned serious, and luckily the code was correct.

The most important thing is that judging from the title of this father-in-law, he is still Zhang Rang's godson. It seems that the Queen has really spent a lot of money on this cooperation. This time she even used such a deep and important chess piece. .

"Look at my memory, my father-in-law is better." Deng Feng laughed and confirmed that the problem was solved, "Father-in-law, please!"

"Why are you so incapable of doing things? Are we working so hard just to get away for nothing?" The eunuch was already impatient.

"It's really——" Deng Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized it. He quickly reached into his arms and pretended to take it out. In fact, he took out a silk bag with a tie string from the space bracelet and handed it over. "My head just hit the wall. , My memory is really bad, please don’t be offended, father-in-law."

"Some mistakes are inevitable, just change them." Still with the disgusting "dead eunuch accent", the father-in-law opened Deng Feng's silk bag in front of his face without ceremony.

It turned out that there were three pearls with a diameter of nearly two centimeters inside, shining with an exciting light under the sunlight that shone into the room, and the smile immediately returned to his face.

"I'm just telling you, there's no way the person arranged by her old man can't handle the matter. Our Zhang Jin will take Mr. Deng to his godfather's house right now."

"It turns out it's Eunuch Zhang, Deng is so polite." A dead eunuch, he was bossing around for no benefit just now, but now he has become Mr. Deng after getting benefits!
No matter how strong his opinion was, Deng Feng had to endure it for the time being. He followed Eunuch Zhang to Zhang Rang's house and found a bunch of people queuing at the door. It seemed that there were many people with ideas, and few people cared about the eunuchs. Clear stream.

Of course, since Deng Feng has Zhang Rang's godson as a recommender, he definitely doesn't need to line up with them.

"Is godfather free now?" Zhang Jin skillfully approached a janitor and asked.

"Eunuch Zhang is very lucky. Eunuch Rang has just seen off two guests and is now drinking tea in the study. Can I inform you?"

"What a joke, do we still need to announce when we meet our godfather?" Zhang Jin immediately started to tremble when he heard that Zhang Rang had no guests.

"Oh, look at my mouth, I just can't speak." The servant pretended to pat his face lightly, "Little Eunuch Zhang, please!"

Zhang Jin then proudly waved his hand to Deng Feng and strode into the courtyard gate.

"It's rare for Mr. Deng to be loyal to His Majesty, but it's hard to say anything else in this world. There is really no shortage of people who want to be loyal to His Majesty, but I don't know. Why does Mr. Deng think he can do it?"

After finishing the procedure rigidly, Zhang Rang was holding the tea while also maintaining his airs. He still used the disgusting "dead eunuch accent", which made Deng Feng triple the pain.

If you want to buy an official and be my dog, you need some strength and performance.

"The key to loyalty to His Majesty is sincerity." Again, no matter how big your opinions are, you still have to be honest at this time, "I dare not say anything else, but this sincerity is still okay."

Back then, Deng Feng captured the Tianning Temple treasure in the world of "Heroes". Although the gold and silver in it were either left in Yaowang Valley or left to Rebecca at the end of the world of "Biochemistry", all kinds of precious There is also a lot of jewelry.

These things are small in size and do not take up much space, but they are very valuable. Especially when used in some plot worlds, they can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This time when he came here, Deng Feng only brought a very expensive sandalwood box with him. There was nothing else in it, just 12 large pearls with a diameter of 3 centimeters.

He didn't talk nonsense, and opened the box in front of Zhang Rang and Zhang Jin. Under the bright candlelight of Zhang Rang's study, these pearls even dazzled the viewers.

Fortunately for Zhang Rang, he was a person who had seen the big world and could correct his attitude now; Zhang Jin's eyes were completely straight, and he didn't even notice the water droplets on the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, Mr. Deng seems to be a sensible man. We have seen your sincerity." Zhang Rang did not mean to give in or be subtle at all. He closed the lid of the box unceremoniously, "I just don't know, Mr. Deng is going to Where can I serve His Majesty?"

"To be honest with you, I have been practicing Taoism since I was a child. I don't dare to say that I have achieved anything, but I still have some skills. In front of my father-in-law, Deng dare not say that ten thousand people are against me, but I can still ignore it if I am against a hundred or eighty people." Deng Feng Try to introduce yourself to Zhang Rang in a low-key manner.

"In the past, Ban Chao decided to join the army. Today, Deng has failed in cultivating Taoism and wants to imitate the sages and serve the country. I heard that there were Huns riding in Bingzhou, and there happened to be a vacancy for Shangdang governor. Deng is not talented, so he is willing to recommend himself."

Deng Feng had tried his best to speak tactfully, but with his emotional intelligence, the two eunuchs still frowned after saying this. It felt too direct.However, for the sake of the other's sincerity, both of them decided to forgive him first.

"An enemy of a hundred people, even if you want to be a prefect, you have to do it." To Deng Feng's surprise, Zhang Rang did not take what he said "a hundred or eighty people is not a problem" seriously, as if it was normal.

Deng Feng didn't think much about it, because this was the Three Kingdoms of Gaowu, maybe those powerful generals in the world were all enemies of ten thousand people? “I just don’t know if Mr. Deng is exaggerating.

Well, since we are going to the frontier, why not go one step further? It just so happens that the post of Yanmen Prefect is also vacant, and the requirements are lower. Master, don't you want to try? "

You are so good at fighting, I can definitely send you to the front line, but give me a reason not to do so?
"To be honest, Lord Shangdang still has time to buffer, but Yanmen doesn't. Deng thinks he still has some ability, but he doesn't dare to be arrogant."

I am actually a person who is very aware of current affairs and I dare not jump back after getting a position.

"Since you claim to be the enemy of a hundred people, if you don't show it off, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Mr. Rang to talk to you!" The one who spoke was Zhang Jin, who obviously took the place of Zhang Rang and became the villain. Zhang Rang looked calm and didn't say a word from the side. Let it be seen on your body.

"It's a little dark in Mr. Rang's room. I'm afraid these candles are lit too high." Deng Feng pondered for a moment and pointed to the candlelight shelf on the east side. The long sword originally hung on the left waist had been taken off. , in his right hand, Deng Feng was holding the hilt of the sword and leaning on the ground.

This sword is not a precious sword, because Deng Feng almost didn't prepare anything when he entered, including the clothes on his body and the weapons he carried with him.It's just that the Han Dynasty is still relatively primitive in comparison, and many things of later generations don't have it, so they can only make do with it.

For example, this sword was customized by Deng Feng from a blacksmith shop. It was a rare good sword in this era, but in Deng Feng's eyes it was not even worthy of garbage, so he could only make do with it.

As for clothes, we are even more helpless, because there is no cotton in this era, either linen, silk, or fur. The Deng Feng family has no choice but to wear monster skin coats refined from the world of "Liao Zhai" until now.

Just before Zhang Rang and his son could figure out what was going on, they heard a "clang" sound, a flash of silver light, and Deng Feng's long sword had been hung on the left side of his waist again.

The row of candles that were originally on the top were neatly "short" by an inch, but it seemed that they had not been affected by any image. The whole candles were still tightly stitched, and there was no sign of incongruity.

A row of one-inch candle segments were facing the burning part above, and they were also neatly arranged in front of the candlelight shelf, as straight as a straight line.

"Very good, very good. It seems that Young Master Deng is already humble." Zhang Rang showed a satisfied smile and glanced at Zhang Jin who was in a daze with fright. "It's rare that Young Master Deng is so aware of himself. I believe His Majesty will see it." Your loyalty.

Tomorrow, Xiao Zhang will take you to report next door. I just hope that you will remember His Majesty's kindness at the border and be loyal to the country. "

You're good. I'll accept this. I'll go next door tomorrow to pay the money. Don't forget to obey when you get to the border.

"Let me tell you, don't dare or forget!" Deng Feng solemnly saluted with clasped fists. "Young Master Deng is really good at swordsmanship." After leaving the study, little Eunuch Zhang's expression did not calm down and he looked at Deng Feng with lingering fear and said.

"No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it's just an enemy of a hundred people; how can it be compared to letting the Duke plan the strategy? A martial artist like me is only worthy of guarding the border for His Majesty." Deng Feng could clearly feel that there were many people watching around him, probably the emperor's He's an inside guard, so he doesn't mind talking a little bit about the situation.

"What Mr. Deng said is absolutely true." Zhang Jin nodded quickly. Although he couldn't feel it, he was aware of the surrounding security situation.

"There is one more thing I hope Little Eunuch Zhang can give me," Deng Feng really didn't want to continue chatting, "I don't know how much money Deng will bring over tomorrow."

"Generally speaking, the annual salary of a prefect is two thousand dan. Shangdang itself is a large county, but it is also on the border, so the annual salary is 2500 dan. According to the usual practice, 2500 million yuan is needed." Maybe he was frightened by Deng Feng's sword skills. After that, Zhang Jin didn't dare to put on airs or go around in circles.

"I wonder if I can pay in gold?" Deng Feng didn't really have much five-baht money, but he had plenty of gold.

"It doesn't matter. Whether it's silk, money or anything else, it can be used for payment." Cash, check, credit card, WeChat swipe card, Alipay, except facial recognition, we all accept it.

"I have troubled my father-in-law for a day, and Deng is deeply uneasy." Deng Feng smiled and stuffed another silk bag containing pearls into Zhang Jin's pocket. "It's just a small thing, I hope your father-in-law doesn't mind."

"Prefect Deng is too polite." Zhang Jin said beautiful words, but he didn't even show any refusal.

"My father-in-law has worked hard."

"Prefect Deng is welcome"

After all kinds of empty talk along the way, Deng Feng finally said goodbye to Zhang Jin, returned to the inn, rested for a day, and went to the palace in the evening to express his "thank you" to Queen He.

"Is this how you 'thank' me?" On the beautiful phoenix-patterned bed again, more than an hour later, Queen He stared at the man in front of her with a weak voice and gritted teeth.

In the past, she always hoped that the emperor could come more often, but now for the first time, she felt that sleeping alone was actually quite good.

"Your Majesty has been alone for many days, and it is inevitable that your Majesty will be lacking in everything you need to do every day. I just want to do my duty and do more for your Majesty." Deng Feng said nonsense seriously.

"Wei Chen? It seems that you have succeeded. It's great. I just don't know if His Majesty knows what you are like now, will he destroy all nine of your tribes?" Queen He continued to grit her teeth.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Your Majesty is working day and night, so you don't have time to take care of such a trivial matter." It's been a long time since I've been with you, don't you have some thoughts in mind?

It's ridiculous to say that although Deng Feng and Queen He had sex countless times, neither party regarded the other as their own.

In Deng Feng's eyes, although this Empress He was not as domineering, vicious, thoughtful but brainless as described in the original work, she was just that, a good tool.

In Empress He's eyes, Deng Feng was just a good person to use and a useful bedding. She was top-notch and had outstanding martial arts skills. This was something she found out through her own intelligence sources, but nothing else.

As for those wrinkled and wet sheets, they are just a supplement to the above content, and the past is past.

"So, you will be taking up a post in the Party soon?" After some sarcasm and ridicule, the two finally got to the point.

"Yes, I would like to thank you for your help!" Deng Feng said without any water in his words, "At that time, I will definitely use the border area to train some elites. When the Huns invade again, it will be my chance to come up.

If something that shouldn't be said comes to the court, I hope the empress will pay attention to it. "

"How much?" Queen He went straight to the point.

"One thousand cavalry, one person and two horses; two thousand infantry, all with armor." Deng Feng did not dare to say too much. The Eastern Han Dynasty is still in a period of peace on the whole. Even if he is a prefect in the border area, what is the purpose of training so many troops? ?

"But, I will ask my eldest brother to pay attention." Queen He nodded and agreed without thinking, because Deng Feng's request was not high, and the people who would complain would probably only be a small number of forces whose interests would be affected. It would not be difficult to arrange, "I What can you get?”

"I will arrange a military camp for the general. As for what it will be used for, I don't care." Shangdang is not far from Luoyang, and a reliable group of dead soldiers of the He family is very good.

"Great, are you going to repay the favor once and then we won't owe anything else?" Queen He's expression was not very good. Deng Feng paid back too much, which basically wiped out her help.

"I would also like to trouble the general to assign a few people to me." Deng Feng's natural way could not give people a feeling of "not owing each other", so he changed the direction. To govern a county, you definitely cannot rely on one person.

"Tell me about it." Queen He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Changsha garrison Huang Zhong, a Jingzhou general named Wenpin, two young generals from Bingzhou Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, plus Zhongmu County Magistrate Chen Gong - it's hard to say, but in short they are a Yanzhou official named Chen Gong.

Then give me some recruitment documents in the name of the imperial court, and I will recruit a few people. "What Deng Feng was thinking of were the kind of people with outstanding abilities but low backgrounds. Their talents were basically ignored in the early stages, and they only rose up in the later stages. These people are generally not of high status now.

Deng Feng is a prefect of a big county after all, and his status is much higher than the above, no matter it is status or force, he can hold it down. As for resourcefulness, Deng Feng can only say that I am good at employing people.

"Would you mind telling me about the person you want to conquer?" Empress He suddenly remembered the reputation of a cultivator left behind by Deng Feng when he told fortunes, and had other thoughts in her mind.

"You don't want to rob me, do you?" Deng Feng saw through Queen He's thoughts at a glance, "These are the people I'm looking for who are from lower backgrounds, and I don't want people from big families or even aristocratic families.

Firstly, I don’t dare to use them, and secondly, others don’t like me, but I can recommend a few to you. "

Deng Feng was so generous because he knew what He Jin was capable of. Even if he had a bunch of talents in his hands, he still wouldn't negotiate because he didn't know how to use them.

"That's fine." Queen He nodded with satisfaction, "I just don't know, who did you recommend to me?"

"Uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You of Yingchuan came from aristocratic families. After the generals conquered the country, they were enough counselors. If they were used well, they could accomplish great achievements. But if they were not used well, they might just leave.

Xu Huang and Xu Gongming from Hedong were talented generals and well-known in the local area for their loyalty and righteousness, so they could be the commander of the personal army; Xu Zhu from Qiao County and Qiao County was strong enough to lift a cauldron, had extraordinary martial arts, and was straightforward, so he was the best choice for the captain of the personal guards. "

Deng Feng's heart moved, and he decided to add some trouble to Cao Cao and create some trouble for Yuan Shao. In the future, these two people will be around, and they will definitely be weakened no matter how hard they are. "Besides that, there is no mistake in entrusting the internal affairs to them, such as the talents of Jizhou's judge, Juwei, and Wang Zuo."

"You won't lie to me, right?" Queen He didn't trust Deng Feng.

"Can't you tell if you ask the general to transfer them here and give them a try?" Deng Feng said angrily.

"Okay, you're right." He Jin's identity is that of a general with one person worth more than ten thousand people. It's not a big deal to recruit a few people.

"Okay, Queen, in order to thank you for your help, please let me serve you well." Deng Feng decided to let her not think so much.

"You—presumptuous!"
