Although the Han court is now just an empty frame, it still has a great reputation. For those ordinary people, the Emperor of Han is still a spiritual banner. Although the appeal is not too great, it still has it. From then on In terms of significance, the usefulness of the clothing edict is actually not small, especially in the future battle with Cao Cao. As long as the general is revealed, it will be enough to offset Cao Cao's advantage of holding the emperor to control the princes. Such a good thing, Gongsun Ming Of course he would never let it go. As for the so-called old friendship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Ming had never taken it to heart. With an order, he didn't even intend to let Jian Yong enter.
"My lord, General Zhao Yun is asking for an audience outside the mansion."
For three consecutive days, Jian Yong visited many times. Unfortunately, the access control office had already received Gongsun Ming's general order and refused to inform him at all. Gongsun Ming naturally got clean, but he never thought that in the afternoon of the third day, Gongsun Ming was immersed in the matter. While reviewing the official documents, Zhao Yun, who was sent by Gongsun Ming to train troops in the military camp outside the city, suddenly came to see him.
"Huh? Damn it, I forgot about this. That's all, let's pass it on."
As soon as he heard that Zhao Yun had come to ask for a meeting, Gongsun Ming immediately guessed Zhao Yun's intention, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. However, Zhao Yun had arrived, but he had to see him. A headache was a headache. Gongsun Ming was worried. Still agreed to Zhao Yunzhi's request.
"Yun has met my lord."
Not long after the guards who had agreed to leave retreated, they saw Zhao Yunji walking in quickly from the entrance of the hall, saluting Gongsun Ming.
"Brother Zilong, there's no need to be polite. Come and take a seat."
Looking at Zhao Yun's face full of embarrassment, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, but after thinking about it, he felt that Zhao Yun's coming might not be a bad thing, but the dissipation could completely cut off the relationship between him and Liu Bei. , let alone just a piece of clothing and an imperial edict, even if you pay a million gold, it is still worth it.
"My lord, Yun has taken the liberty to come here to ask for something. Well, Mr. Jian arrived at the general's camp yesterday and said that he had some misunderstandings with his lord. Something was detained at the lord's place. Please ask the general to accommodate him. I will be ashamed, but I am not as good as in the past, so I have no choice but to come here to trouble my lord."
Seeing Gong Sunming stand up to greet him, the look of guilt on Zhao Yun's face suddenly became a little thicker. After obviously struggling for a while, he finally told Jian Yong what he wanted from him.
"Brother Zilong is a real and honest man. Yes, someone indeed took something from Jian Yong. Does Brother Zilong know what it is?"
Although I have decided to give Zhao Yun some face, before that, I have to let Zhao Yun understand the importance of this matter. Otherwise, this face will be given too easily, and there will be no talk. It was more than a kindness, and because of this, Gongsun Ming did not agree to return the clothes and belts first, but asked a question with a solemn expression.
"The cloud is unclear, please let me know clearly, my lord."
Most of the people who signed the belt edict are now in Xudu, and even Liu Bei has not yet found a chance to escape. Under such circumstances, Jian Yong did not dare to tell the truth easily, and when he went to ask Zhao Yun, he only spoke vaguely. After a while, Zhao Yun actually didn't know what Jian Yong wanted to return.
"Zilong, please take care of yourself."
Gongsun Ming had long expected that Jian Yong would not dare to tell him about the clothing and belt edict. Without him, he and Zhao Yun had old ties, but after all, they were not serving the same master. How could Jian Yong dare to do something that affected Liu Da'er's life? Those who confided in Zhao Yun were obviously not at ease with Zhao Yun, and this was undoubtedly a good thing for Gongsun Ming. However, Gongsun Ming did not intend to tell the truth. The reason was very simple and he allowed Zhao Yun to realize it on his own. , the effect is undoubtedly better.
"Ah, this..."
Seeing Gongsun Ming take out the roll of yellow silk from his clothes so carefully, Zhao Yun's curiosity couldn't help but arouse. He stretched out his hands, took the yellow silk respectfully, spread it out and looked at it, his pupils couldn't help but wonder. Just shrink.
"This is a belt edict. According to Jian Yong, it was brought out of the palace by Dong Cheng, the brother of Concubine Dong Guifei, hidden in his belt. Jian Yong came to see someone with this, saying that he wanted someone to do what he was called to do. In fact, He just wanted to help Duke Xuande plot our land in Youzhou. Hey, according to what he said, Duke Xuande is from Youzhou, and he has served in Youzhou for many years. As an uncle of the emperor, if he comes to Youzhou, Climb high and make a call, and the responders should gather together. Then announce this edict to the world, and you will surely summon all the heroes in the world to fight against Cao Cao's thieves. Oh, according to what this man said, Liu Xuande won Youzhou, but the emperor was going to be defeated by Cao Cao. The thief is the mastermind of the thief. As for someone, I'm afraid he should be the victim of Liu Xuande's sword. Such lies that are actually deceitful in the name of justice can only be used to coax a three-year-old child. However, the reason why someone is detained The reason why the clothes-belt edict was issued was not entirely because of the evil intentions of the beast, but more because the edict was indeed of great use to someone. In other words, with this thing, someone will be able to fight against Cao's thieves in the future. This can be used to offset the advantage of Cao Cao's thieves who hold the emperor hostage to control the princes."
After Gongsun Ming smiled coldly, he did not let Zhao Yun wait any longer. He explained in detail the origin of this edict and the fact that Jian Yong planned to plot Youzhou on Liu Bei's orders, and made the importance of this edict clear. out.
"That's it, Yun..."
After hearing Gongsun Ming's explanation, Zhao Yun realized that he had been used by Jian Yong, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of regret in his heart. He just thought about the fact that he had agreed to Jian Yong's request and the past relationship with Liu Bei. Zhao Yun couldn't help but fell into a dilemma.
"Brother Zilong, there is no need to be embarrassed. As far as someone is concerned, Brother Zilong is his arm and support. No matter how useful this thing is, it is not as good as Brother Zilong's emergency. Brother Zilong just took it and handed it back to Jian Yongbian. Okay, let him leave our ground in Youzhou immediately. If he dares to cheat again, then don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Since he wanted to show his kindness to Zhao Yun, Gongsun Ming naturally wanted to show his kindness openly. Of course, he never forgot to cut off his relationship with Liu Bei in his words.
"Thank you Lord, Yun knows what to do."
Seeing that Gongsun Ming was willing to give up such an important thing for himself, Zhao Yun's nose couldn't help but feel sore, and his eye circles instantly turned red, but he didn't say much. After bowing respectfully, he Then he left the hall.
"Um……"
Looking at Zhao Yun's leaving figure, Gongsun Ming's heart was full of mixed feelings. There was nothing else to do. The duck in his hand flew away like this. Naturally, he was very unwilling to accept it. But if he could exchange it for Zhao Yun's absolute loyalty, there was no doubt that It's worth it. As for how to compete with Cao Cao in the future, that can only be said at that time. After all, a living person cannot be suffocated to death, right?
