Where would Gongsun Du refuse?

He was a little excited. Although he had been the governor of Jizhou before, before the world was in chaos, the governor was actually not a high-ranking official.

Emperor Wu of Han established a state governor, with only procuratorial power, but no governance power. The real power was held in the hands of the county magistrate. The world was in chaos, and later some governors were upgraded to the prefectural governor, and then they had real power.

Now he is a man who has left the world and has been many years. It would be great if he can come out to be an official. A real man should not be powerless for a day.

Not to mention Zhang Xiu's shogunate. If something happens today, the whole world is in trouble. The reason why Dong Zhuo was in charge of Luoyang and looked at the world was because Zhang Xiu.

Being an official in Zhang Xiu's shogunate is even more powerful than being an ordinary courtier.

"Ming Gong is so kind, Gongsun Du is willing to serve the work of a dog or a horse." Gongsun Du took a deep breath, bowed down and bowed.

"Hahaha. I have a sir. It's like a tiger with wings." Zhang Xiu still gave Gongsun Du very much face. He walked down and helped Gongsun Du up, grabbed Gongsun Du's hands, and felt very hot.

Gongsun Du had known that Zhang Xiu was respectful to the wise and humble, and was kind to others, but even so, he still felt that he couldn't stand it, which was too enthusiastic.

But he was quite moved. He was born in a poor family and there were very few people who value him so much, not to mention that Zhang Xiu is the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty and is the Supreme Duke.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiu asked Gongsun Du and learned that Gongsun Du did not live in Luoyang, he immediately selected a mansion for Gongsun Du. He summoned his ministers in the mansion, and the general outside the city entered the Grand Sima Mansion. Longzhong introduced Gongsun Du, and held a banquet to welcome Xuantu and Gongsun Du into the gang.

That night, Gongsun Du was drunk by Zhang Xiu and others, and he rested in the guest room of the Grand Sima Mansion for a night. It was not until the sun was over the next day that Gongsun Du woke up.

Under the service of a maid, Gongsun Du washed up and had breakfast. He was taken to the study by a minor official to meet Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu had been waiting for a long time, put down the bamboo slips and looked at Gongsun Du, who was still suffering from hangover sequelae, and smiled and said, "Sir, did you sleep well last night?"

"Thank you for your concern for public concern, and you slept very sweetly." Although Gongsun Du was taciturn, he still tried his best to speak in front of Zhang Xiu.

"That's good." Zhang Xiu nodded, then went to the main topic and said seriously: "Sir, great talent. Now there is chaos in the world and wars are everywhere. Mr.'s family is in Xuantu County, and I am really worried. I plan to send a team of more than 100 light cavalry to follow Mr. Xuantu County and pick up his family to Luoyang. I will prepare fields for Mr. so that his children will not have shortage of food and clothing."

Even though Gongsun Du had already experienced it, he was still very considerate and warm to Zhang Xiu. Now that the world is in chaos, he is a little worried about his family.

But Luoyang is different. Although Dong Zhuo is surrounded by enemies on all sides, Zhang Xiu is like a giant pillar that supports the imperial court, and Luoyang is very safe.

"Thank you, Mr. Ming." Gongsun Du took a deep breath and bowed with gratitude.

"Sir, don't have to do this." Zhang Xiu said quickly. After Gongsun got up, Zhang Xiu said seriously again: "By the way, sir, this time I returned to Xuantu, I would like to go to Liaodong. I want to recruit someone, whose name is Taishici, who is from Donglai, Qingzhou, and he will take refuge in Liaodong."

As he said that, Zhang Xiu bent down and took out a letter from the desk, handed it to Gongsun Du, and said, "This is my handwritten letter. I want to recruit Taishici as a Sima of another department."

The grand duke of the court had the right to summon scholars to be officials alone. This was a channel for official careers that were on par with filial and honest people (filial people), Maocai (learned people).

Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, what Taishi Ci? He had never heard of it. But since it was Zhang Xiu's order, he naturally obeyed the order.

Gongsun Du stood up and walked up. After taking the letter from Zhang Xiu's hand, he bowed and said. Then, Zhang Xiu asked Dian Wei to select more than a hundred elite cavalry and followed Gongsun Du to Xuantu County.

"Taishici. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to get you."

Zhang Xiu personally sent Gongsun Du out, and then turned back to the study, with an unconcealable joy.

This is the benefit of reading history books.

Those talents were not in their hometowns at the same time. For example, Zhao Yunben was hanging with Changshan County, but later followed Gongsun Zan and finally belonged to Liu Bei.

Of course, Taishi Ci was not all Liu Yao's subordinates.

Taishici was a minor official in the county in his early years, and later became enemies with Qingzhou officials and took refuge in Liaodong. At this time, when Beihai prefect Kong Rong heard that Taishici's reputation was, he often sent people to take care of Taishici's mother and provide food and clothing.

After Taishici returned from Liaodong, Kong Rong was surrounded by yellow scarves. His mother sent Taishici to save people. Taishici later successfully invited Liu Bei as reinforcements and rescued Kong Rong.

Finally, Taishi Ci went to join his fellow villager Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou.

Therefore, historians evaluated this matter and said that the reason why Taishi Ci was loyal and righteous was that the mother taught her to be good.

Zhang Xiu has always liked loyal and righteous people, and he doesn't want to miss someone like Taishi Ci.

This time, when Gongsun Du was asked to recruit Taishi Ci, Zhang Xiu felt that the opportunity was great. He was the Supreme Duke of the court, and Taishi Ci was still a white man (without an official position).

One in the sky and the other underground, wouldn’t the other party be grateful?

................

Liaodong County, an unknown town.

This was originally a barren land. Guan Ning, a well-known scholar in Beihai County, Qingzhou, crossed the sea to Liaodong because he escaped the war in the Central Plains. He led his family and friends to settle here. Later, the people admired Guan Ning and came to join him.

It gradually became a famous town, with the people prosperous.

Taishi Ci was from Donglai County, Qingzhou, and was a fellow villager in the prefecture with Guan Ning. So he often came to visit Guan Ning. Guan Ning saw that Taishi Ci was loyal and righteous, so he treated him as a friend.

On the morning of that day, Taishici rode a strong Liaodong horse to the township. He is twenty-four years old this year and is rich in spring and autumn. He is seven feet and seven inches long, extremely powerful, beautiful beard, slender and strong arms, and good at shooting the ape's arms.

He hung a big sword around his waist, carried a bow behind his horse, and rode his horse, and was outstanding in his martial arts.

After arriving at the door of Guan Ning's mansion, Taishici turned over and got off the horse. The concierge met Taishici and led Taishici into the mansion. After arriving in the study, Taishici met Guan Ning.

Guan Ning has a handsome appearance, fair skin, elegant and peaceful temperament. He is a charming person who will admire him when he sees him.

"Sir." After Taishi Ci entered the study, he immediately bowed to Guan Ning with a respectful attitude.

"Ziyi is not polite, please sit down." Guan Ning smiled and asked Taishici to sit down. Then the two of them talked. Guan Ning saw that Taishici seemed to be absent-minded. He asked, "Ziyi, you seem to be restless? But what happened."

"One of the reason why my mother is in Donglai County, I am really worried. Two, it is because Ci is already twenty-four years old. She is talented but she is useless in Liaodong. It is really torment."

Taishi Ci bowed and said this, he looked at Guan Ning seriously and said, "If the troubles are coming today, the princes will rise up. I want to follow a prince and make achievements. I dare to ask sir, who is the princes in the world?"

"Time flies like a white horse, and it flies by. We can call ourselves my husband at the age of 30. Ziyi is extremely talented and powerful, and he is twenty-four years old. It is a pity to abandon it in Liaodong." Guan Ning agreed with Taishi Ci's idea. After thinking about it, he shook his head to Taishi Ci and said, "Now the world is just in chaos. I don't know who is beautiful jade and who is dead grass. Isn't Yangzhou governor Liu Yao, isn't your fellow countryman? And Liu Yao is quite generous in character, go and join him."

It is just like gold to go out and join fellow villagers. Guan Ning did not give Taishi Ci good advice, but he did not give bad advice either.

"Mr. Xie's advice." Taishi Ci was also planning to join Liu Yao. After hearing Guan Ning's words, he felt relieved and thanked him.

Although the purpose has been achieved, Taishici is not in a hurry to leave, so he sits here at Guan Ning and asks for advice.

At noon, the two of them had lunch together. Although they were simple to eat, Taishici was very satisfied.

This meal is also something to eat with you. It is quite glorious to have dinner with Guan Ning.

There are great scholars in chatting and laughing, but no white Ding comes and goes. Zhuge Lu, Nanyang, Ziyunting in Western Shu. Confucius said: Why is there any terrible thing?

After halfway through the afternoon, Taishici planned to say goodbye and leave. But suddenly there was a disturbance outside the door, and it seemed that a large group of people came.

Guan Ning was calm, but Taishi Ci's expression changed and said, "Is it a bad person? I'll go and see first. If the situation is wrong, the sir can leave through the back door."

Guan Ning smiled and shook his head and said, "After I come to Liaodong, I will be kind to others. No one will harm me. Maybe some strong man will come to visit me."

"It's okay." As he said that, Guan Ning stood up, walked out of the study and headed towards the front door. Taishi Ci was worried and hurriedly followed.

At this moment, a gatekeeper in front led Gongsun Du to come. After seeing Guan Ning and Taishi Ci, the gatekeeper quickly saluted and said, "Master, he is the Grand Sima, General of Cavalry, Zhang Gong, and Lord Gongsun Du, under the command of the Marquis of Luyang."

"Gongsun Du has met Mr.." Guan Ning was very famous, and Gongsun Du bowed respectfully, and then turned to Taishici and said, "But Donglai Taishici, Taishi Ziyi?"

Of course, Gongsun Du is also famous and once served as the governor of Jizhou.

Guan Ning returned the gift first and then watched from the side.

Taishici bowed and said, "Is it Donglai Taishici. I wonder what Mr. Gongsun has to do with his teachings?"

"It was Mr. Zhang who heard that Ziyi was talented and powerful, so he specially ordered me to recruit Ziyi as Sima of another department. This is a letter written by Mr. Zhang, and I would like to ask Ziyi to watch it."

Gongsun Du took out Zhang Xiu's handwritten letter from his arms and handed it to Taishi Ci.

Although it was speculated that Gongsun Du had something to do, it was actually such a thing. Guan Ning and Taishici were both very surprised.

Taishici has the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men. Taishici knew about this and Guan Ning also knew about it. But few others knew about it.

What's more, Zhang Xiu is from Wuwei, Liangzhou. Even if he is now appointed as the Supreme Duke, he is still hanging out in Luoyang. How did he know that there is a man named Taishi Ci in Donglai?
