Xun Yu left the palace, stood at the palace gate for a while, stopped again, turned around and walked towards the house where the Lang Guan was on duty. Ding Chong was working inside. When he saw Xun Yu, he was stunned for a moment and quickly got up to salute.

Xun Yu bowed his hand. "Is the Shizhong busy?"

Ding Chong hesitated for a moment, looked at Xun Yu's eyes, and showed an unnatural smile. "Lingjun...is something wrong?"

"I dare not, there is something I have been unable to make up for. I want to hear the advice of the servant."

"Let me please sit down." Ding Chong was very happy. Xun Yu was a celebrity in front of the emperor. He asked him for advice if he had something to do. This was too shameful. He quickly called Xun Yu to take his seat and poured water. "Don't blame me, Your Majesty is frugal, and all expenses in the palace can be reduced, and we only have white water here."

"It's okay." Xun Yu was not particular about it. He took the water poured by Ding, took a sip, held it in his hand and covered it. He looked around and sighed. "The country is difficult, and you all suffer. Is the charcoal not enough? It's very cold."

Ding Chong laughed and said humbly, and acted as if he was a gentleman who was poor. The court was not slack, and he could save all kinds of expenses. He started to be frugal from the emperor. Of course, they were both miserable. There must be resentment, but no one would put on his face, otherwise he would inevitably be given a bad moral ethical etiquette and a bad reputation. As for how to complain behind his back, that is another matter. It is also a good thing to let Xun Yu see their hardships. Maybe Xun Yu turned his head and gave him instructions and their conditions could be improved. Especially as the end of the year is approaching, maybe he could get more New Year's goods or something.

"I went to Meng De's place a few days ago and heard that you were too busy recently and couldn't see you anymore. Is it because I was short of manpower recently and I couldn't even get a waiter?"

Ding Chong's eyes flashed slightly and said with a forced smile: "Yes, I was a little busy some time ago and I didn't have time to go over. I was thinking about going to his camp one day to check it out. I heard that the training of troops has been quite effective recently and I have also received the award from General Cheval."

Xun Yu laughed. Cao Cao's reputation has gradually become more and more famous. He is better at training troops or second. The most important thing is that his military discipline is good, and he is strictly prohibited from disturbing the people. If he catches him, he will be punished severely. Other tribes are not as good as him. Whether it is the Liangzhou army or the Bingzhou army, disturbing the people often happens. The emperor mentioned him several times, and Ding Chong, as a close minister around the emperor, could not have known it.

With Cao Cao as an intermediary, they are all from Yuzhou. Xun Yu and Ding Chonghan made a few gossips and talked about some of the little things about fellow villagers in Chang'an and people in the prefecture. The atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Xun Yu changed his tone and said his intentions. "Justice just now, and Youyang also heard that what are your opinions on this candidate for the prefect of Danyang?"

Ding Chong did not answer immediately. He knew that Xun Yu must have something to come to him, saying that Cao Cao and Tanzhou's rural friendship were just introductions. He held the hot water and thought for a moment. "Didn't Yang Situ recommend Zhu Wenyuan? His father, Taiwei Zhu, is the old king of the Sun family's father and son, so there should be no problem."

"This is a state affairs, and it cannot be entirely based on personal friendship. To talk about personal friendship, Ding Jun and General Sun have kindness, which is more suitable than Zhu Wenyuan."

Ding Chong laughed and shook his hands repeatedly. "Let you laugh, I've just passed on a few words, so there's no friendship." He paused and said, "But Danyang communicates with the whole country, and it's a place where military strategists must fight. It really needs a person who knows the truth and change. Zhu Wenyuan is talented, has a good temperament, can get along with gentlemen, but is not good at fighting with villains. It's really not suitable for him to guard Danyang."

Xun Yu was thinking, but did not express his opinion. Ding Chong looked at him for a moment, then said, "Besides, Zhu Taiwei has a relationship with the father and son of the Sun family. If he asked Zhu Wenyuan to go to Danyang, Yuan Shao would suspect that the court favored Sun Ce, and maybe he would have a lot of trouble."

Xun Yu sighed slightly, "Yes, I have this worry, but there is no better candidate." He raised his head, looked at Ding Chong, smiled, and changed his subject. "Youyang has been in the palace for several years, right?"

Ding Chong's face turned slightly red, and he finally waited for this sentence. Although Xun Yu said nothing, the meaning of this sentence was already very clear. Xun Yu hoped that he would go to Danyang to be the prefect. He was not stupid. Danyang was a whirlpool, so he didn't want to jump in. But Xun Yu came to him on his own initiative to show that Xun Yu noticed his existence. If this time fails, he will give priority to him when he has the opportunity to release him next time. He pretended to be calm and acted casually. "I entered the palace in the fourth year of Zhongping, and this year is the sixth year. I am not stupid and have a short-lived experience. Seeing the chaos in the world, Your Majesty and Lingjun are working hard for national affairs, but they cannot share their worries. I am really ashamed."

"Haha, Youyang is humble." Xun Yu laughed out loud and pointed at Ding Chong. "You said that, the resentment is very heavy, I can't bear it." He laughed twice, and returned to calm, and felt a little sad. "In the past, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and His Majesty was young. If Youyang and others were not protected, who would know what would happen? Now that he has established the capital of Chang'an, the government and the country are in a magnificent state, the emperor is wise, and it is the time when the ruler and ministers work together to make trouble. Youyang should not belittle himself. If Youyang is willing to go to Danyang to be the prefect, I can advise Situ and ask him to consider it."

Ding Chong shook his hand repeatedly and refused to refuse. Xun Yu felt very sorry. The two of them talked about the situation again, and Xun Yu stood up to say goodbye.

Ding Chong sent Xun Yu to the door, and when he saw Xun Yu leave the palace, he couldn't help but snorted and said to himself: "A child who can cry has breastfeed, Mr. Nai is finally about to stand up. He is stuck in this palace every day, guarding a poor emperor, and he is almost a waste."

Xun Yu left the palace and came to Zhong Yao's residence. Zhong Yao was copying at the desk in the study. When he saw Xun Yu coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him. Xun Yu sat down and sighed heavily. Zhong Yao smiled and said, "Wenruo, what's wrong?"

"I just came from the palace."

"What's wrong?"

"Yuan Chang, I ask you, who told me about my family affairs in front of the emperor? Is it Ding Chong?"

Zhong Yao was stunned. "What's your family affairs? Where did you start?"

Xun Yu said the story of the emperor asking him to bring his family to Chang'an, and he wanted his son Xun Yun to enter the palace to study. He never mentioned his family in front of the emperor. The emperor suddenly made such a request, which was not just as simple as caring. The emperor might want to express his trust and respect for him, but this method was the worst. He had very little experience and had a lot of criticism in presiding over the reform. If his son entered the palace, he would even go further and have a marriage relationship with the royal family, he would confirm his name as a powerful minister. It would be strange if he was not impeached.

There are many people who know the situation of his family, but not many people who have the opportunity to mention it in front of the emperor. Tang Ji and Zhong Yao would not do this, and the most likely one is Ding Chong.

After hearing this, Zhong Yao suddenly realized. "It is very likely that it is him. Life in the palace is hard, and Ding Youyang is a greedy person. He must have wanted to seek to release others and take away the wealth and ointment from the local area. Wen Ruo, he can't blame him completely. Now the salaries of officials are not paid. After reading so many books, he is not as good as a craftsman. The person with opinions is not only Ding Youyang. Look, I am writing a text to flattering tombs to others, otherwise I can't even afford new clothes during the New Year."
