The sun is slightly warm and the breeze is gently blowing.

On the extremely flat garden lawn, Diao Chan, with graceful figure, was dancing to the sound of the piano.

The beauty of dance lies in the charm of every move, rather than the messy movements and long legs that are made into eye-catching like the modern world.

Wang Xiao sat on the stone bench, holding a bowl of grapes in his hand.

Grapes have not been passed down from the Western Regions for many years and their taste is still relatively sour. The original main purpose was to make wine.

That is, the royal family has this leisurely and leisurely to cultivate sweeter and sweeter grapes for consumption.

Cai Wenji, who was sitting next to Wang Xiao, looked at the grapes, and a helpless look flashed in her eyes.

How could Wang Xiao hide the fact that he kept going to the Queen Mother's bedroom?

The palace is the largest ventilated place in the world. With so many eyes staring at it, there is no secret hidden here.

This kind of thing is not a big deal in this era.

Not to mention the Warring States Period and the Former Qin Dynasty, we will say that starting from Empress Lu that year, there have been more such things.

But the problem is that Wang Xiao, who was a civilian and an outsider, was at the forefront of the storm at this time.

All the people in Luoyang City were staring at him, especially those aristocratic families kept spreading news to slander Wang Xiao's reputation.

Fame is very important these days. The reason why everyone beats Dong Zhuo is destroyed. The reason why Lu Bu is not popular anywhere is because he has a bad reputation and specializes in dealing with his boss. His reputation is so bad that even Cao Cao dare not use him.

Cai Wenji frowned and expressed her confusion. Empress Dowager He is already thirty years old. Don’t she enjoy herself?

My thoughts drifted, and a talisman was wrong in my hand.

Diao Chan, who danced with the music, also lost her rhythm.

"Are you worried?" Wang Xiao handed the bowl with grapes in his hand to Cai Wenji.

When she thought that these grapes were taken back from the Empress Dowager's harem, Cai Wenji shook her head and said, "No, it's just that it was shot wrong."

Diao Chan, who was a little panting, came over to salute, "Master Taiwei."

Seeing Wang Xiao naturally turn grapes to Diao Chan, Cai Wenji suddenly felt like she wanted to laugh.

How could this Taiwei, who is said to be invincible on the battlefield, live such a carefree life?

"The part I jumped just now was to support one leg, hook your legs back with your hands, and look like the one flying in the sky. Teach me how to jump."

Seeing Wang Xiao pull Diao Chan out of the pavilion and dancing on the lawn, Cai Wenji almost shouted.

In this world, there will definitely be no second man who will do it like Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao gestured to Cai Wenji and signaled her to continue playing the piano and accompaniment.

Cai Wenji, who had cleaned up her mind, placed her hands on Jiaoweiqin.

Cai Wenji has never been worried about Diao Chan, even though she is so beautiful that women are moved by it.

Because Diao Chan's identity is the singer, no matter how beautiful she is, she cannot change her identity.

What really worried Cai Wenji was the girl from the Xiahou family who was said to have set out from Changshan County.

Wang Xiao ascended rapidly like a carp leaping at the dragon gate. From a small lieutenant who left Changshan County, he jumped directly to the Taiwei who was one of the three dukes, who was in charge of the world's military power.

Such a legendary story naturally spread throughout the world at the fastest speed. And the news about Wang Xiao is also being conveyed at a rapid speed.

Then, the news that Wang Xiao had an engagement with the girl from the county magistrate of Changshan County spread.

When he heard this news, the person who was most upset was Cai Wenji. It is said that the magistrate of Changshan County has successfully transferred back to the court, and he is probably on the way now.

Looking at Wang Xiao, who was the dignified Grand Marshal, but learned to dance with the singer, Cai Wenji became increasingly unable to understand him.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Invite Cai Wenji to come to his home to teach playing the piano and dance with Diao Chan to move his body. For Wang Xiao, this is just a leisure and relaxing activity.

What he really has to do is much more important than these.

The anti-Zhao alliance in Luoyang City gradually formed. The apparent leader was Situ Yuan Wei, and many ministers from powerful families participated.

Surprisingly, Wang Yun, who was born in the Wang family in Jinzhong, expressed his opinion on Wang Xiao's side.

However, this kind of clumsy undercover skills is useless in front of Wang Xiao.

Movies in later generations have been badly filmed.

Their secret power was the soldiers of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, as well as Cao Cao, Bao Hong, Chunyu Qiong and others. Some of the North and South Imperial Forces and even Bingzhou soldiers who were bribed by them.

The reason why he wanted to oppose Wang Xiao was of course the superficial reason was that he was very good at speaking.

But when it comes to substantive issues, there is still the four words "fighting for power and profit".

Wang Xiao tried to give the poor children a chance to stand out, which touched the fundamental interests of the powerful families. Therefore, the contradictions between the two sides were irreconcilable.

Their plan was to push Wang Xiao and Empress Dowager He down, and then drag Liu Bian down and push King Chen Liu to the throne.

The ministers of the East and the Han dynasties have done a lot of such things.

From Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and others to kill Zhu Lu and kill Shao Emperor, and elect the Dai Wang Liu Heng as the emperor. A few years ago, the governor of Jizhou, Wang Fen and others intended to depose Emperor Ling and establish Hefei Marquis. The famous Huo Guang was the Marquis of Haihun.

The ministers of the Han Dynasty were so fierce that even the emperors dared to say that they would pull them off.

In fact, except for a few powerful emperors such as Liu Bang and Liu Che, most of the emperors in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years were suppressed by ministers.

It is precisely because of this reason that there are cases of valuing eunuchs and valuing relatives.

As for why we should reuse these obviously unreliable people, it is to fight against the powerful ministers.

After the Han and Tang dynasties, Confucianism was so weak that it could not be held by hand or shoulder. It was fragile like porcelain.

However, the great scholars of the Han and Tang dynasties could discuss the truth by sitting down and get up, and they could draw their swords to chop people. They were as tough as bronze ware, and any emperor could not be afraid.

Previously, Yuan Wei and others were thinking about contacting the troops outside Luoyang City to enhance their strength.

They chose Dong Zhuo, who had a deep hatred with Wang Xiao and was stationed in Hongnong County very close to him.

But before Yuan Wei and his fellow messengers were sent out, news of the rebellion of Dong Zhuo's troops.

Jia Xu, an important confidant adviser under Niu Fu, rebelled and persuaded Xu Rong, Fan Chou, Li Meng and others to flee Hongnong County, and ran to Luoyang City to join Wang Xiao.

Xu Rong was from Liaodong County and was always excluded in the Xiliang army. It was easy for Jia Xu to convince him.

Fan Chou, Li Meng and others personally experienced the battle outside Luoyang City. They knew that Dong Zhuo, who was named rebellious by the court, was definitely not Wang Xiao's opponent. When Jia Xu came over and said that, they naturally seized the opportunity to change jobs.

Dong Zhuo's strength is far less powerful than described in the Romance.

The only one who truly belonged to him was only ten thousand soldiers. The main force of the Liangzhou army was in the hands of Huangfu Song, who was attacking the Qiang people.

He really grew stronger after annexed the Bingzhou Army, the imperial guards in Luoyang City, and captured the arsenal and recruited troops.

Now he was defeated by Wang Xiao, hiding in Hongnong County and surviving, it was natural for Fan Chou and others to betray him.

Jia Xu could convince more people, but he knew the importance of mastering the temperature. If the meeting ceremony was too heavy, it would be unbeautiful.

At the Xiyang Pavilion in the west of Luoyang City, Jia Xu and others all dismounted and saluted Wang Xiao, "Welcome to the Grand Marshal."

Wang Xiao on the horse's back held the whip with one hand, and his spirit was very high. "No need to be polite, thank you all the way here. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you."

Jia Xu brought more than 2,000 people, which was a huge blow to Dong Zhuo, who had only a few thousand remaining soldiers.

Unfortunately, no matter how furious Dong Zhuo is, it is useless because he no longer has the qualification to challenge Wang Xiao.

He didn't even dare to stay in Hongnong County, and hurriedly ran to Chang'an City with his troops.

After the banquet, Wang Xiao settled Fan Chou and others in the military camp outside the city and led Jia Xu into Luoyang City alone.

"These are all the information collected by my secret detectives." Wang Xiao pointed to the stack of documents on the desk and said to Jia Xu, "Mr. Jia Xu, look at these things. Please tell me what I saw after reading them."

Wang Xiao cannot trust his name and trust their strength just because of his name.

Not to mention that people's hearts will change, but just how true their real abilities must be verified by themselves.

These people are not unparalleled without PCs, and Wang Xiao cannot see their data.

The famous Gao Shun, who was previously famous, also fought one after another in the camp, and was promoted to the commander of 800 people with his outstanding performance.

Even Zhang Liao was a famous general in the world, at this time he was still commanding him to Luoyang City and obtained more than a thousand soldiers.

Only by demonstrating your abilities and making contributions will you be truly valued.

Jia Xu is already forty-two years old. At this age, he has already had a very clear understanding of human relationships and worldly affairs. He also understands Wang Xiao’s intention very well.

If it were him, it would not be possible that he would not have any verification of the person who came to surrender.

Wang Xiao left the room to go out for work, while Jia Xu sat in front of the desk and flipped the documents one by one.

When Wang Xiao came back the next day, there was no one in the room, and even the documents on the table were turned into ashes in the iron basin on the side.

He came up to the side of the case and reached out to pick up the note left by Jia Xu.

There are only two sentences on the note: "Yuan Wei and others want to rebel, but Wang Yun is not trustworthy."

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Those documents and letters were not key information, but were actually just records of documents from various departments and government offices, as well as records of banquets and gatherings between the residences of major families in Luoyang City, etc.

You can see the truth contained in it simply by relying on these. It is indeed well-known, and this is a truly capable person.

"Where is Mr. Jia Xu?"

Wang Xiao went out to ask the personal soldiers stationed here.

"Mr. Jia Xu went to sleep in the backyard after dinner last night and ordered two pots of wine."

Wang Xiao's smile became even stronger, "Go and wait, and invite me when he wakes up."

Jia Xu's ability was proven. Wang Xiao submitted a report to the court to appoint him as Cao Guan of the Taiwei Mansion and promoted him to the lieutenant of the attack on the enemy. His actual job was to assist Wang Xiao in handling various affairs and be in charge of intelligence and secret investigation.

A few days later, Wang Xiao saw Dian Wei, who was extremely burly and had a thicker thigh than a person's waist in the mansion.
