    When he heard that it was Dong Cheng who sent someone to invite him, he did not avoid it.

    "I have seen a partial general." The person who came was a servant of Dong Cheng's family and someone whom the prince was familiar with, Qin Qingtong.

    "Excuse me, what do you want, General Chariot and Cavalry?" Wang Zifu asked.

    "The master recently got a jar of good wine and asked the villain to invite the general to a banquet." Qin Qingtong said.

    In this era, it is very common to invite three or five friends to taste good wine together.  Dong Cheng didn't have many good friends in Xudu, and Wang Zifu was one of them.

    Prince Fu did not have any doubts about this. He said to Qin Qingtong: "Go back and report to General Chariot and Cavalry. We will arrive on time next evening."

    In the evening, Prince Fu arrived at the Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion as scheduled.

    Looking at the dimly lit Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion, although it was not the first time he saw it, every time he saw it, the prince couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and sigh.

    When Cao Cao was the Chariot and Cavalry General, the Chariot and Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion was brightly lit and brightly lit all night long, which was in sharp contrast to Dong Cheng¡¯s Chariot and Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion.

    ??Looking at the gate of Dong Cheng's chariot general's house, there is not a single guard, which makes it even more shabby.

    In the past, there were at least four soldiers in front of Cao Cao's Cavalry General's Mansion, and sometimes there were eight soldiers guarding the door.

    Shaking his head, Wang Zifu knew what was going on. In the end, it was all about power.

    Cao Cao controlled the court, and all the power of the court was in his hands. Therefore, when Cao Cao was the Chariot and Cavalry General, the Chariot and Cavalry General's Palace was extremely lively, with people coming and going. Unlike Dong Cheng's place, it was rare to see even a ghost.

    "However, the prince service is not very loyal to Cao Cao. Cao Cao has power. Marginal people like the prince service, even if they are Cao Cao's people, do not receive much attention and reuse, and they also have little power in their hands.

    Knocking on the door, after a while, the closed door opened.

    "Hey, why are you opening the door tonight?"

    When the prince saw the person who opened the door, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

    It was Qin Qingtong who opened the door. It was not Qin Qingtong who usually opened the door. He was Dong Cheng¡¯s confidant, and it should not be his turn to do the job of opening the door.

    "General, the master asked me to pick up the general tonight." Qin Qingtong said with a smile.

    However, this explanation still made Wang Zifu feel confused, but he was just confused for a moment. He didn't think much about it and followed Qin Qingtong directly into the mansion.

    Dong Cheng¡¯s Chariot and Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion was much smaller than Cao Cao¡¯s former Chariot and Cavalry General¡¯s Mansion. It was dark in many places at night and nothing could be seen.

    There were only lanterns hanging along the way from the main door to the central hall, giving off some firelight.

    "Sir, General Wang is here." Qin Qingtong took the prince's clothes to a room and knocked on the door.

    "Haha, Brother Wang, you are finally here." Dong Cheng opened the door and said with a hearty smile.

    "I've seen the chariot and cavalry general." Prince Fu saluted.

    "Brothers, why are you so polite?" Dong Cheng invited the prince in.

    After entering the room, the prince realized that there was someone else inside.

    After seeing the person clearly, the prince was stunned.

    "General, you don't recognize me, do you?" The man who surprised the prince laughed, stood up and said to the prince.

    "Oh, no, I've met Yilang." Wang Zifu also hurriedly returned the gift.

    The person who surprised Wang Zifu was Wu Shuo, the court's chief minister.

    ??Yilang, in similar terms to later generations, is a substitute, who fills the official position when there is a vacancy.

    There were many people like this in the imperial court, especially under Wang Yun and Cao Cao, who had a large group of Yilang, Zhonglang, Shilang and Zhonglang.  But people like Xiang Wu Shuo are special.

    Wu Shuo did not belong to the subordinates of Wang Yun and Cao Cao. He rose up from below step by step, promoted filial piety and integrity, then promoted, and finally became Yilang.

    Of course, if there were no special opportunities, Yilang might be the pinnacle of Wu Shuo's official career.

    Both Wang Yun and Cao Cao tried to win over Wu Shuo, but he remained unmoved and did not seek refuge with them.

    "How did General Chariot know him?" Wang Zifu was very curious.

    Although Yilang is also qualified to go to court, the status of Wu Shuo and Dong Cheng is very different, so the two have little chance to get to know each other.

    "Wu Yilang, why are you here?" Wang Zifu couldn't help but ask.

    "Haha, General Chariot and Cavalry, please come down and have a drink." Wu Shuo laughed.

    "That's right."

     Dong Cheng also smiled and said: "Good wine should be shared with a few more people."

    "Please take a seat."

    Dong Cheng smiled, and then said to Qin Qingtong: "Just close the door and wait outside."

    "Yes, sir." Qin Qingtong closed the door.

    "Come, try my new wine."

    Dong Cheng poured wine for the prince himself and said, "This is good wine obtained from Youzhou. It is said that it is treasured by a confidant under the command of the Taiwei."

    "Oh? Is it true? I need to taste this." Wang Zifu's eyes lit up, looking forward to it.

    Now everyone in the world knows that the best wine is in Youzhou. There is only a limited amount of good wine sold from Youzhou every year. Even if the price is high, there are still many people snatching it up.

    Prince Fu is also a good drinker, but with his status and salary, he can't get it, and even if he can, he can't afford it.

    Because of poverty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
