After careful consideration, Wei Ba finally accepted Peng Xiaoyu's suggestion. In addition to not wanting to face Yang Yi face to face every day to increase the chance of conflict, he was also self-aware. He had to think about the power and scheming level for a long time when he heard someone say something. When he arrived at the prime minister's mansion, he probably had to listen to those masters' speeches and read the reading comprehension of English. After finally understanding the first sentence, he was almost finished.

Of course, when facing Zhuge Qiao, Wei Ba could not give this reason.

"There are some skills in mathematics, and I can sit down and talk about it. I can't tell you that if I really want me to peel off the threads between the books, I really can't do it." Wei Ba said to Zhuge Qiao with a sincere look on his face: "If Yang Zongjun and I compare these arithmetics, I'm willing to give up the disadvantage."

Zhuge Qiao looked at Wei Ba skeptically. He didn't know whether Wei Ba was saying the truth or the polite words. He was at the scene at that time. Yang Yi asked hard to ask questions, and Wei Ba solved the questions happily. He saw it with his own eyes. Now Wei Ba said that his math is actually not as good as Yang Yi. Is this to save face for Yang Yi, or continue to slap Yang Yi?

Zhuge Qiao couldn't ask directly, and he could only figure out the meanings by himself, without the reason to ask people in person. He pondered for a moment and smiled: "I don't know which master can teach you such a math. I'm really curious. I don't know if there is such an honor to meet you."

Wei Ba laughed secretly, thinking that he really wanted to plant flowers but didn't grow, and he didn't want to plant willows and willows to turn into shade. As soon as he trapped Cheng An's old fox, Zhuge Qiao came to ask about this. I really have the foresight.

"Actually, what you have seen is Mr. Cheng Ancheng, the chief clerk of your father."

"Cheng An?" Zhuge Qiao looked at Wei Ba suspiciously. He knew Cheng An and knew Cheng An's identity, but he had never heard of how good Cheng An's math was.

"Mr. Cheng is one of the four surnames in Hanzhong. He has a family background, but he is humble and most people don't know his knowledge." Wei Ba smiled and said, "He is not as arrogant as me. He just learned a little bit of fur and caused trouble everywhere."

Zhuge Qiao smiled slightly and changed the topic. His purpose was to find out the master behind Wei Ba. Since Wei Ba said it was Cheng An, he didn't want to bother with Wei Ba more. Of course, he knew that letting Wei Ba enter the Prime Minister's Mansion was just to leave some face for Yang Yi. Wei Ba was self-aware and dared not go. That would be the best. However, he wanted to pull Cheng An away. He couldn't help but ask Wei Ba to recommend it on his own initiative.

"Hanzhong has outstanding people and talented people, and it turns out that many experts have emerged. General Zhenbei was able to operate in Hanzhong for many years and made significant achievements. It seems that he has a lot to do with Mr. Cheng. General Zhenbei is respectful to the wise and humble. With such a great Hanzhong clan, he will definitely be able to make greater contributions in the future."

Wei Ba's eyes shrank slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Brother Zhuge is too awarded. Actually, my father just knew about this, otherwise he would have recommended Mr. Cheng to the Prime Minister's Mansion long ago." He smiled, "You know, my father is a good soldier, and all his thoughts are on training. Just wait for the Prime Minister's order, he will charge for the Prime Minister's front pawns, killing generals and snatching the flag. As for the wise and wise men, hahaha..."

Zhuge Qiao also smiled. He knew very well what Wei Yan's temper was. Wei Yan was said to be similar to Guan Yu back then. He treated his soldiers well and insulted gentlemen. When he saw scholars, he frowned and liked to talk with his fists and knife the most. He had a bad relationship with Yang Yi, of course, and of course he had a certain relationship with Yang Yi, but it was fundamentally because he had this virtue.

He knew how to do it after hearing Wei Ba's tone. Zhuge Qiao was very happy. Wei Ba knew the elegance when he heard the strings and songs, so he could not face Wei Yan's hob meat.

Zhuge Qiao left, and Wei Ba smiled bitterly. The development of the situation was similar to what Peng Xiaoyu guessed, but this did not mean that Peng Xiaoyu was so smart. It can only be said that there was nothing new under the sun. Throughout history, it has been tortuous and turned, and it was just those dramas.

Wei Ba immediately went to Wei Yan and changed Zhuge Qiao's intentions, suggesting that Wei Yan recommend Cheng An to the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the one hand, it reassured the Prime Minister, and on the other hand, it also gave Cheng An a way out. It is useless to be the chief clerk in the Prefect's Mansion. Of course, they still hope to be the county magistrate and officially embark on the official career. Although Cheng An is not young, his desire to seek an official may not be weak, otherwise he would have gone home to take care of his grandson.

Wei Yan didn't care. He was about to move Cheng An so that Wei Ba could make a place for Wei Ba to take office. After listening to Wei Ba's advice, he immediately wrote a formal letter of recommendation, invited Cheng An and told him about his intention to recommend him to serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cheng An was a mature person and soon understood the key points, but he was still grateful for Wei Yan's opportunity to give him this opportunity. He knew how important the Prime Minister's Mansion was. He could not tell the truth. He came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least he was a county magistrate, and might even become two thousand stones directly.

Compared with his own career, he was even happier that although Wei Yan was not enlightened, he had an enlightened son. Wei Ba was able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion without being arrogant and arrogant in the face of defeating Yang Yi, which was a mature manifestation in itself. He couldn't help but look at Wei Ba with admiration and reexamine it.

"Thank you, General, I am grateful." Cheng An said with a smile: "The Major General is wise and proficient in math. It is very appropriate for him to take over my affairs. Of course, he is still young and doesn't know something very clear, but it doesn't matter. I believe that the officials in the mansion will do their best to help him."

This is what Wei Yan wanted. Cheng An was the representative of the natives in Hanzhong, and naturally the leader of the officials of the prefect's office. If he didn't speak, those officials would give Wei Ba some trouble or something, it would be simpler.

"Isn't thanking Mr. Cheng for his cultivation?" Wei Yan winked Wei Ba. Wei Ba bowed ninety degrees and gave a big gift. Cheng An hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, and gave him a detailed introduction to the situation of the officials in the mansion. Wei Ba realized when he heard this that the four surnames in Hanzhong were not something Peng Xiaoyu said, and these four families had a great background.

The first of the four surnames in Hanzhong is the Zhao family, and the representative is Zhao Xuan, who was the prefect of Jianwei. His seven sons have the character Gui and are of virtue, so they are also called the Zhao family Qigui, and they have almost all made 2,000 stones. The family has a strong family and is the first surname in Hanzhong.

The second is the Li family. The Li family is not as wealthy as the Zhao family, but the Li family has produced Situ Li He. Li Gu, the son of Li He, is a famous scholar in the world. He became the Grand Marshal. He was imprisoned and committed suicide because he offended the general Liang Ji, and the world shed tears. In terms of fame alone, the Li family is still above the Zhao family. However, after Li Gu's death, the Li family was deliberately suppressed by the court. He had not produced any major officials for decades. He fell down and could only rank second.

The Cheng family where Cheng An is located is a standard local tyrant and has never produced any famous high-ranking officials. However, they have worked in prefectures and counties for generations and are strong. Cheng An's father Cheng Bao was once a scheming official and was good at scheming. He once explained the situation in Yizhou in front of Emperor Ling of Han. Later, he was a prefect, but he was not lucky and died on the way to take office.

The Zhang family, the last family of the four surnames, is more profound than the other three. They originated from Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang in the Western Han Dynasty, and later continued to continue and have talented people. Recently, the famous ones are Zhang Ze, who served as the captain of the Qiang Hu, and later became the general of Duliao. However, Zhang Ze was appointed as the general of Duliao and was appointed by Cao Cao, so under the rule of Shu Han, the Zhang family was a little embarrassed and respectfully accompanied the last place.

These four families may not be considered anything to the entire Han Dynasty, and they cannot even be compared with those aristocratic families in Yizhou. However, in Hanzhong, they are real powerful people. These four families have people who serve in the Hanzhong Prefecture Palace, but because Wei Yan doesn't care or even deliberately reject them, Wei Ba is not very clear. Now that Cheng An explains this, Wei Ba realizes that the Hanzhong Prefecture Palace is not so much from the Wei family. If he hadn't given the opportunity to serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion to Cheng An, his intention to take over Cheng An's position would definitely be the beginning of a disaster.

"After I left, Zhao Su was the most familiar with the affairs in the mansion." Cheng An took a sip of water and said slowly: "Zhao Su is Zhao Yao's eldest grandson, the most outstanding among the descendants of the Zhao family. However, this person is casual and indifferent, does not work very hard on fame, and likes Taoist theory. In the past, he had many interactions with Taoists in the Heavenly Masters and did not like rules. When the major general was with him, don't mind too much. In fact, his ability was still very good."

"Thank you for your advice, sir." Wei Ba greeted again, and said in his heart, Zhao Su is just a semi-hidden expert, right? Otherwise, how could Cheng An specifically click him out?

Cheng An explained it again before he got up and left. Wei Ba and his brother Wei Feng looked at each other. It was the first time that Wei Feng knew that there were so many experts in the prefect's mansion. He had known before that Cheng An and others had the strength, but he did not know the statement of the four surnames in Hanzhong, nor did he know that these people had such a deep family background.

"Aba, I really live my life with my head covered. I didn't expect that Mr. Cheng and the others... actually..."

Seeing that his brother was blaming himself, Wei Ba hurriedly said, "They deliberately tolerate and keep a low profile and don't let you know, how can you know? Besides, getting along with these powerful people is not necessarily a good thing. Maybe it will make people feel that our Wei family is disobedient."

Wei Feng nodded repeatedly, patted Wei Ba on the shoulder, expressing his gratitude to him. Wei Yan didn't say anything until he heard Wei Ba's words, and then he smiled with relief: "You are saying this to the point. These powerful families can be used for them, but they cannot believe them. They are too strong, how can we foreigners do things? Could it be that I am also a prefect who bows down and sits down?"

The Wei family is from Nanyang, and Nanyang is the imperial town. There are too many powerful people. It is not easy to be a prefect in Nanyang. Most people will become puppets, but in fact the power is taken away by the county's major surnames. Wei Yan is very clear about such things. When he was in his hometown of Nanyang, he might envy those powerful people who control power, but now he is the prefect, how can he tolerate these powerful people taking over his power?

He was not Wei Feng. He knew a little about the strength of the four surnames in Hanzhong, but he never took these people too seriously. Otherwise, he, the prefect of Hanzhong, would have been undermined. He was very satisfied to see that Wei Ba had such insights.———
