In the study room of the General's Mansion, a fire was blazing. .The cold wind howls outside, but the interior is as warm as spring. As soon as Zhang Ji entered the door, Yuan Mai secretly looked at this miraculous doctor known as the "Medical Saint". He saw that he was about fifty years old, wearing a white robe and a gray turban on his head. His hair and beard were already a little gray. But her skin is well maintained, which shows that she knows how to maintain good health, has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and has the demeanor of a worldly expert. "He is worthy of being a miracle doctor who will go down in history. In terms of skin care alone, people around the age of fifty really can't compare with him!" Yuan Mai muttered in his heart, stood up in a hurry to greet him, held his hands in greetings and said: "Oh This must be Mr. Zhongjing. I am so late in life that I have missed my welcome. Please forgive me.¡± I'm so frightened when I invite the old man to Nanyang that I can't get anything in return." Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly crossed his arms and bowed in return. Yuan Mai ordered his servants to look at the seats, personally served Zhang Ji tea, and chatted with him about important matters of his family and country. Zhang Ji was very satisfied with Yuan Mai's polite corporal, who had no pretensions to being a nobleman, and felt that his coming to Bingzhou this time was a right choice. This young man has had a big head since he was young, and his words are steady, and he looks like someone who has achieved great things. If you follow such a person, you will definitely have a future! The reason why Yuan Mai respected Zhang Ji was not only because he was a great doctor and respected by the world, but also because he had his own little calculations. First of all, Zhang Ji is a master of medicine and can be said to be a master of rejuvenation. With him in Bingzhou, he can definitely ensure the health of his subordinates and civil servants to the maximum extent. If anyone is injured on the battlefield, a miracle doctor can naturally take care of the injury. recover as soon as possible. Yuan Mai tried his best to recruit Zhang Ji. In addition to wanting to take advantage of Zhang Ji's medical skills, the more important purpose was to use him to get closer to the emperor. This was the reason why Yuan Mai respected Zhang Ji. This time, Cao Cao used the advantage of "holding the emperor to command the princes" and promoted Zhang Yan and the Xiongnu to officials and nobles, allowing them to attack Bingzhou, while constraining him behind the scenes. This made Yuan Mai very passive and kept lingering in his heart. How to deal with Cao Cao. There is a saying that "If the name is not right, the words will not be right", but the opposite is "If the name is right, the words will be right". To compete with Cao Cao, you must not only compete with him militarily, politically, and economically, but also have the upper hand morally. Cao Cao held the emperor hostage and issued orders in the name of the emperor at every turn. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished for "disobedience to the emperor's orders and treason". It can be said that he gained the upper hand before his troops even moved. In this age, information is underdeveloped, and the spread of news depends entirely on word of mouth. Moreover, most of the people in the world are ignorant, and illiterate people abound. Being deceived by Cao Cao, many people thought that Cao Cao was a righteous man who was ordered to punish thieves. How many people can distinguish right from wrong? Therefore, Cao Cao had the upper hand in the hearts of the people from the beginning. Since these days, Yuan Mai has been thinking hard about how to resolve Cao Cao's advantage. After careful consideration, I came up with the strategy of obtaining the imperial edict and then publicizing it to create pressure on Cao Cao in public opinion. This method is actually a common tactic used by later generations of politicians. Before overthrowing their opponents, they always first use public opinion to discredit their opponents, and then take the moral initiative. But Yuan Mai also understood that with Cao Cao's cunning and strategy, he would naturally strictly monitor Emperor Xian, and the emperor's every move would be under Cao Cao's control. Otherwise, the young emperor would not have racked his brains to pass the "clothing and belt edict" method in order to convey the decree to his uncle Dong Cheng. Let¡¯s not talk about whether the people sent to the capital can see the emperor. Even if they can see the emperor, what will happen if Cao Cao¡¯s eyes and ears are all around him? Since he could not get an edict to "punish thieves" from the emperor, Yuan Mai turned his attention to his uncle Dong Cheng. According to the natural development of history, Emperor Xian had already issued the "Belt Edict" to Dong Cheng at this time, secretly ordering him to summon Zhongliang and kill Cao's thieves. If I can get this "Edict on Clothes and Belts" in my hands, I can justifiably "acquire the thief under the edict" when I confront Cao Cao in the future! If the "Belt Edict" is obtained, the roles of both Yuan and Cao will be reversed, and Cao Cao will change from a loyal and good man who "serves the emperor to punish unworthy ministers" to a thief who usurps power and bullies the emperor. This will definitely be a big deal for Yuan Mai. Killer weapon. In a battle in troubled times, military means alone are far from enough. If politics and military can complement each other, the chance of victory will be greatly increased. But it is definitely not an easy task to deceive the "Edict on Clothes and Belts" from Dong Cheng. This is an important object that is closely related to the emperor's life. How could Dong Cheng reveal the "Edict on Clothing and Belts" to others so easily? After thinking about it, Yuan Mai came up with the idea of ??setting up a machine. Zhang Ji is not only a world-famous miracle doctor, but also a doctor in the capital.Those who have passed official positions should have certain connections among civil and military ministers. If Zhang Ji comes forward to ask Dong Cheng for the clothing edict, his confidence will be greatly increased; if Zhang Ji and Dong Cheng are old acquaintances, it will be even more effective with half the effort! "Moreover, before coming to Bingzhou, Zhang Ji had been active in Nanyang and Jingzhou. If he appeared in Xuchang, he would not have attracted the attention of Cao Cao's eyes and ears, let alone that Zhang Ji's appearance was related to the Yuan family. The above considerations are the reasons why Yuan Mai is determined to win Zhang Ji, so he has great respect for this miracle doctor. "Mr. Zhongjing, please drink tea!" Yuan Mai smiled and raised his teacup to serve tea to Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your hospitality, sir. Zhang Ji is so virtuous and capable. As the envoy's guest, I am very lucky to have him for the rest of my life!" Yuan Mai moistened his throat and said softly: "The position of Taiyuan County Prime Minister There has always been a vacancy. The prefect Wang Ling is good at military affairs but not good at government affairs. He always wanted me to send someone to assist him in handling political affairs. I wonder if Mr. Zhongjing is satisfied with this position? "Everyone who has been an official has an instinctive desire for an official career? , Zhang Ji is no exception. When he became the governor of Changsha, he was unable to show his talents, which made him always worried. This was one of the reasons why he followed Zhuge Jin to Jinyang. Although Yuan Mai proposed that Zhang Ji be made the county magistrate instead of the county governor; Taiyuan is the seat of Bingzhou, a world-famous large county with more than 20 county towns and a population of 600,000 to 700,000. In this kind of situation, Being a county magistrate is also a place where you can show your talent. Moreover, since Wang Ling focuses on military affairs, more political affairs will inevitably fall on the shoulders of the county magistrate. Zhang Ji's mood suddenly surged, and he stood up and bowed to express his gratitude: "Oh Since I have made you love me, how dare Zhang Ji be picky and picky? He will definitely be a coward and a fool. He will repay you for your kindness and relieve the suffering of the people!" Yuan Maizhi Therefore, the purpose of promising Zhang Ji an official position was to stabilize him first, lest Zhang Ji feel that he was taking advantage of him. Although I want to use him to obtain the Clothes Order, I have to do it step by step and do it without leaving any trace, which is the most brilliant method. "Mr. Zhongjing must be tired after traveling all the way from Nanyang. In addition, the weather has been cold these days and it is not suitable to travel. You can stay in the post house for a few days and wait for the cold wave to pass before heading to Taiyuan. !¡± Time flies by and it¡¯s dinner time in a blink of an eye. Yuan Mai ordered his servants to prepare a banquet in honor of Zhang Ji. No other generals were invited, only Zhuge Jin was there to accompany him. At the banquet, Yuan Mai did not mention anything about clothes and edicts. He could not assign tasks to Zhang Ji as soon as they met. He first let him settle in for a few days, chatted with him a few times when nothing happened, and then assigned him tasks. This would appear to be It's more natural, rather than premeditated. The conversation at the banquet was very pleasant. In addition to asking Zhang Ji for advice on some health and medical issues, Yuan Mai always deliberately talked about the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, saying that the Yuan family has been the emperor since the great ancestor Yuan An. Well, now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the Yuan family must play the role of the mainstay, turn the tide before it falls, support the building before it collapses, and revive the Han Dynasty! "Sigh after listening to the envoy's words, I thought of my mentor Yuan Gong. For the Han Dynasty, my benefactor really devoted himself and worked hard. It's a pity that Dong Zhuo's traitor committed a heinous crime and killed his mentor. The whole world is sad" After listening to Yuan Mai's words, the fifty-year-old Zhang Ji thought of his great master Yuan Wei, who had repeatedly supported him in his official career. He couldn't help but shed tears. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the tears while praising Yuan Mai: "You are so young." Zhang Ji has the ambition to help the Han Dynasty, and he really has the legacy of the Yuan family. Ji is so impressed!" Seeing that Zhang Ji was really loyal to the Han Dynasty, he shed tears when he spoke. It was not like he was pretending! look. Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, and thought to himself, "It seems that this matter is very likely to be successful!" But he said impassionedly: "My Yuan family has been favored by the emperor, how can I sit back and watch the decline of the Han Dynasty? If there are annihilation of thieves, Our Yuan family will definitely do our best to eradicate the traitors and revive the imperial power!" The banquet lasted for an hour and a half. Zhang Ji was slightly drunk, so Yuan Mai sent a carriage to take Zhang Ji back to the post house, along with Zhuge Jin. Resign. The night is dark and the sky is covered with dark clouds. Gentle snowflakes floated down, and the first snow in the four years of Jian'an arrived quietly. After sending Zhang Ji away, Yuan Mai went straight to Du's courtyard in the backyard. The girl who was teased by this wind today felt itchy in her heart. If it weren't for the presence of Zhen Mi and Feng Fangnu, she would have been executed on the spot. . The fragrant bedroom was warmed by the fire, and there was no coldness in winter at all. As soon as Yuan Mai entered the door, he was hugged by Du Shi, who was waiting for her. He said angrily: "Husband, why did you come? I have been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come.""Haha I'm just a moment late, is Madam already so impatient? In that case, let Husband Haosheng train you!" Yuan Maimai quickly took off his clothes and stripped Du Shi naked. He quickly got into the brocade quilt, and the two bodies were entangled together. The beauty in his arms, plump and white body, full and round breasts, and straight buttocks, makes people's blood rush "Ah wu" Not long after, Du Shi let out a sweet moan and began to sing softly. The snowflakes outside the room fell quietly, and soon the ground was covered with white snow.
