According to Chinese tradition, very few people are directly identified as "famous ministers of a generation" while they are still alive, and various allusions, anecdotes, myths and the like are derived.
But there is no doubt that Qiao Xuan is an exception.
After all, this recognized official of the Later Han Dynasty became famous too early!
Back then, in the official temple in Taiyuan, Gongsun Xun and Dong Zhuo were holding a broken knife and complimenting each other, and then they used Qiao Xuan's deeds as an example... When did that happen? The answer is Kuai Xuan.
That happened forty years ago.
And to be honest, when Qiao Xuan brought down a man with two thousand stones forty years ago, he was just a minor official in the county, while Gongsun Xun was a Sima with a thousand stones at the beginning. The difference in difficulty and level is really not the slightest bit different.
Also, when Liu Kuan had just become a Taiwei, Gongsun Xun and Yang Qiu were complimenting each other at the Taiwei's house, saying that those who did not accept the call would be tied to the front of the official temple... This actually has an allusion, and
It still has something to do with Qiao Xuan.
About twenty years ago, when Qiao Xuan was the governor of Hanyang, he recruited someone as an official. However, the other party pretended to be a celebrity and refused to go. So Qiao Xuan told him directly, if you dare to come, I will follow the instructions.
Administrative order to encourage widows to remarry, marry your almost fifty-year-old mother! It frightened people from a whole county to come to plead for mercy, and then gave up... To be honest, it is better to kill the other party!
In addition, there is also a mythical story about this bridge master, which can be written into a fantasy novel...
However, putting all this aside, for an official figure, the most convincing thing about Qiao Xuan is the words "indomitable".
These four words cannot be called idioms at this time, nor have they become allusions because they are recorded in any inscriptions or history books. However, since someone accidentally said them, they have indeed become a public opinion about Qiao Xuan in the world...
...because when he was young, this Duke of Qiao had many ups and downs in officialdom. Once he voluntarily abandoned his official position, once he was imprisoned and became a city Dan, and he was dismissed as a commoner again. So-called three ups and downs, but he never lost the slightest bit of ambition.
Of course, what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that what really bound the four words of perseverance to Qiao Xuan and spread it to future generations was actually something that had not yet happened...
"Is this Mr. Qiao's grandson?" When Gongsun Xun personally drove Qiao Xuan to the other party's mansion, a little boy wrapped in a heavy coat and sitting under the lamp in front of the door, about eight or nine years old, the so-called "general age" asked
Welcoming him excitedly.
"No." Qiao Xuan first hugged the little boy tremblingly under the car, and then explained with a smile. "This is my youngest son... If he is really a grandson, how can he be so doting on him?"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look at this old and famous official of the Han Dynasty again, and secretly admired him.
On this side, Qiao Xuan lowered his head and continued to caress his youngest son's head. He smiled and gave a few instructions, then handed the wat tablet in his hand to him, and pushed him, saying it was cold outside, and asked him to go inside first and call the servants.
After eating, he continued to hold Gongsun Xun's wrist and walked towards the door.
By the way, although Qiao Xuan was from a good background and had earned two thousand dan thirty or forty years ago, his family was simple, with few servants and very few furniture and objects. It matched the so-called official-built mansion.
, it really seems deserted.
"I also served as a general of the Liao Dynasty back then, taking charge of the military in Northern Xinjiang, but now I am old and decrepit, and I can't even speak energetically," Qiao Xuan said as he walked. "So not many people are willing to come to my place. But the interesting thing is,
Occasionally, some guests come, but they are all young people like you..."
Gongsun Xun's heart moved slightly and he couldn't help but said bluntly: "Mr. Qiao, I really made a mistake just now. If you have any advice, please speak up."
"It's not a gaffe." Qiao Xuan said disapprovingly. As he spoke, he had already stepped into the second door while holding on to the door frame. "When I was seven or eight years older than you, I was an official in Henan Yin and reported to work. So Henan Yin
Liang Buji asked me to stand and report the paperwork, and I threw the paperwork on the ground and resigned... Compared to me, what is your shrewish behavior of scolding someone behind his back? You scolded him in person, Yuan Feng
Will I kill you?"
Gongsun Xun's face turned red and he quickly let go, then took a step back and bowed to apologize again.
"Originally, at my age, I shouldn't have to ask about these things." Qiao Xuan ignored the other party's apology at all, but stopped and rolled up his sleeves and said. "Besides, I have been in the army since the reign of Emperor Shun.
I have been an official in five dynasties and have seen too much. I have no idea about these eunuchs and relatives... Have you seen eunuchs and relatives teaming up to dominate the government and evade the adult emperor? Have you seen the little emperor who was poisoned to death?
Have you passed?"
Gongsun Xun was speechless.
"However, these eunuchs and relatives are after all the servants and relatives of the Liu family, and all their power comes from the Liu family, so there is nothing to say about the hundreds of tricks they play with each other. Only," Qiao Xuan said
He suddenly sighed slightly, and the white air of winter immediately filled his face. "Only this Yuan family, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen the leader of a clan who has joined forces with the eunuch, and I don't know what Yuan's family is."
What on earth does this boy want to do..."
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel numb. He didn't dare to answer these words again.
"By the way, you kid, you said before that 'there is still something to be done about this matter', and you said that 'you have a plan in mind'... Tell me the truth, are you thinking that at this age the emperor must be cleansed?
Court. So Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and the old nobles in Luozhong will all lose power sooner or later. Then, you can take the opportunity to hide behind the emperor's minions, kill one or two eunuchs, and become famous all over the world?
"
"Yes!" Gongsun Xun had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow and agree.
"You don't have to panic." Qiao Xuan continued to stand on the second door and said casually. "I'm just used to seeing things like this, so I can guess it even with my eyes closed. It's not someone who is mature, let alone some secret agent of the school.
some type of……"
Gongsun Xun became increasingly speechless.
"However, again, if you just sit back and wait for the sky to change, how can you praise your behavior?" Qiao Xuan continued. "Even if you gain some false fame, it is just to make those mediocre people admire you. Do you think
You are a hero in the world, can't you tell that you are an opportunist or an indomitable person?"
Gongsun Xunfu thought of Tian Feng from before, and couldn't help raising his head and sighing: "What Mr. Qiao said is very true..."
"I think so too!" Qiao Xuan rolled up his sleeves and ridiculed. "You obviously had a sharp blade and had a way out, but you just pointed the knife at Duan Xi, a dead tiger who had lost his ambition, and then
Just doing some conspiracies and conspiracy in private all day long... What's the point? You are also a person who has fought in the war. Don't you know that this political matter is like a war, and political disputes are like a war. At critical moments, you still have to look at the spirit of courage and courage.
And the majestic forward formation?! Faced with this group of aristocratic families who are better than women, you don't take the initiative to fight, but you are just waiting for a chance to fight. No wonder you have been in Beijing for three months and achieved nothing!"
Gongsun Xun naturally knew in his heart that Qiao Xuan did not have any evil thoughts towards him. In addition, Tian Feng's departure made him extremely angry, so after hearing these words, he felt as if he was lost, but also enlightened, so he hurriedly
He bowed his head and thanked: "Master Qiao's teachings are deeply in my heart..."
"You don't have to take it to heart." Qiao Xuan waved his sleeves slightly and said indifferently. "I just want to see what kind of person Liu Wenrao thinks highly of, and is ready to entrust his disciple to his family... What I said
The words are just a lesson for your incompetent teacher!"
At this point, without waiting for the other party to speak, this famous minister waved his hands repeatedly: "My family has a small population, and even on the first day of the first lunar month, I only cooked a little food. You are young and have a big appetite, so you won't
I’ll leave you alone, go on your own!”
Gongsun Xun originally wanted to ask about the relationship between the other party and his teacher Liu Kuan, and whether the other party had a deep relationship with Cao Mengde as his mother said, and how he compared with Cao Mengde. He even wanted to get along with each other in an electric light.
Speak out the proactive strategy and let the other party read the details... However, after a thousand words, you can only have no choice but to bow and leave.
When they came to the door, Han Dang, Wei Yue and the other two attendants who had gone to pick up Gongsun Xun from the palace before and had followed all the way quickly gathered around him.
"Yi Gong." Gongsun Xun wiped away the sweat that had actually dried on his forehead with his hands, and called his confidants directly in front of the Qiao Mansion. "Tell me frankly, what is the standard of the guards of these high-ranking families in Luozhong?"
?”
"What do you mean, Young Master?" Han Dang was confused for a moment.
"Can you go in and out of these high-class houses easily?" Gongsun Xun asked in a low voice.
Han Dang immediately woke up and quickly replied in a low voice: "It's difficult during the day, and it's even harder to sneak into the inner room to kill people. After all, there are many brave people in these people's homes, and they have layers of protection... But if you just sneak in secretly,
Then, it would be easy to suddenly throw cold arrows in the outer courtyard to disturb them."
"Go back and change clothes. Now come with me to Wang Fu's house to cause some disturbance."
"Here!"
"Remember." Gongsun Xun suddenly grabbed the other person's arm and warned him, "Call my name!"
Han Dang was stunned.
"Just call my name!" Gongsun Xun sneered. "Just shoot an arrow and call Liaoxi Gongsun Xun to come and kill the thieves for the country! After shouting, run back! And if Wang Fu panics and closes the door, that's all. If
Send people to chase you, and then ask your wife to come out and deal with it."
"Here!" Although he still didn't understand why, Han Dang quickly agreed, then mounted his horse and went home to prepare.
"Wei Yue." Gongsun Xunfu greeted again.
"Zhonglang!" Wei Yue quickly stepped forward and held his hand.
"You have been in Luozhong for a few days, but have you ever seen a real wealthy family?" Gongsun Xun asked jokingly.
"Yue Yue only thinks that one mountain is higher than the other. I really don't know which one is the real high-ranking family." Wei Yue quickly bowed his head. "You humble boy, you have lost the face of Zhonglang."
"In that case, let me take you to see the style of the most powerful man in the Han Dynasty." Gongsun Xun said this, and he immediately mounted his horse and went straight to a certain place without stopping at all.
Wei Yue was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly followed with two attendants.
However, Gongsun Xun didn't know where he was going. Even though it was the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere was already somewhat unpleasant.
"How can your uncle be the same as an eunuch?" Yuan Shao, who was dressed in plain hemp, was talking fiercely to his uncle, who was his real "sir". "We belong to the public family.
The public family is the leader of the scholars, and our Yuan family is from Runan, so we are the natural leaders of the party members. The interaction with Yuan She, the regular servant of the party prison, has already caused dissatisfaction among the scholars in Wanluo Ruying..."
"That's your clan uncle, how can you call him by his first name?" Yuan Feng, who had been drinking the noodle porridge, raised his head indifferently and taught his concubine a lesson. "I didn't expect that this wheat rice would be so soft after being ground into powder.
As I get older, I just like this stuff... Let me go to Hebei to buy more, and let my family learn to sharpen it themselves."
Immediately after his death, his family agreed.
Yuan Shao laughed angrily when he heard this, but he could only sit back down.
"Let me tell you." At this moment, a young man with a far inferior appearance to Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneered and interjected. "My father doesn't know that my cousin is judging others by himself... He is a role model in the world, and he must do everything."
For the sake of the world, otherwise, Xiao Zhong would not have sneaked back from the thatched hermitage outside the city and admonished us so impassionedly... On the first day of the new year, my mother was scared away by him. However, he did not know,
As the head of the clan, my father can only think about our family, and the rest of the world would not dare to think about it."
Yuan Shao looked at his half-brother coldly, but was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Yuan Gongli!" Yuan Feng suddenly put down the fragrant noodles he was eating, and then his expression remained unchanged. "Go and kneel at the door. Your Lord, I want to ask you something!"
"Yes!" Yuan Shu quickly left the dining table, stepped back a few steps to the door frame of the inner hall, then knelt down and bowed his head.
"Please ask the fourth generation and the third prince, the young and high-ranking Yuan Shu to explain to your adults what is the 'evil ghost on the road Yuan Jiujiu'?" Yuan Feng asked with a curious face. "In the past few years, what have you trampled on in the suburbs of Luoyang?
How many young people are there? How many passers-by have been frightened in Luoyang City, how come you got such a mixed number?"
"Pfft!" Yuan Shao on the side laughed out loud.
But Yuan Shu could only kowtow quickly.
Yuan Feng turned to look at Yuan Shao, who was born as a maid, and became even more emotional: "You still have the nerve to mock your brother? Do you know that your brother's nickname is Yuan Benchu, a model in the world, but you are just a hungry ghost on the road, Yuan Jiujiu...
…Is there anything more embarrassing in the world than this?”
Yuan Shu kowtowed more and more.
"Yuan Shu."
"The villain is here!" Yuan Shu quickly agreed.
"Remember this, among the people you associate with, except for Guangling Chen Gui, who is older, more stable and has some standards, the rest cannot be relied on and all of them are cut off from me!"
"Here!" Yuan Shu was trembling all over and agreed with great ease.
"Well, get up now." Yuan Fengfu smiled again. "By the way, go to the woodshed to get an ax..."
Yuan Shu, who had just stood up, was at a loss, and even Yuan Shao also frowned in confusion.
"You take it upon yourself to chop up your fancy cars and behead your BMWs." Yuan Feng picked up the pottery bowl again in an understatement. "Then go to the city tomorrow and buy the simplest car and come back... Go ahead, I'll be there
Waiting for you here."
As soon as these words came out, not only Yuan Shao's expression changed immediately, but Yuan Ji, the leader of the three brothers who had been sitting with his head down while eating, was also slightly startled, and then continued to eat with his head down.
Yuan Shu opened his mouth to speak, but he could only bow tremblingly, then turned around to look for the axe.
Yuan Feng continued to eat, but Yuan Shao did not dare to speak any more.
However, at this moment, a family member suddenly came to report that it was Situ Yangci's son, Yuan Feng's son-in-law, and Yilang Yang Biao who accompanied his wife to visit the Yue family!
Yuan Feng couldn't help sighing when he heard this, and put down the pottery bowl again: "How can anyone come to visit the Yue family on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year? Yang Wenxian came to plead guilty on behalf of his father... It's okay, let Wenxian come first and he is always unwilling to break up.
I mean, it just requires some questioning."
"Father." Yuan Ji, who had not spoken yet, lowered his head slightly and said, "Let my sister go see her mother. Mr. Wen is also a junior. I will take care of it."
"That's all we can do." Yuan Feng waved his hand impatiently. "We won't let anyone eat Ansheng rice on the first day of the first lunar month."
Yuan Ji immediately stood up, rinsed his mouth and face, and went to greet his brother-in-law.
"Father." After all the brothers left, Yuan Shao couldn't help but speak again, but he changed his tone and title. "I really don't know why Father did this? Not to mention that I was tricked by the party.
My descendants are questioning me one after another, even among the clan, don’t everyone doubt me, the Yuan family?”
"Original!" Yuan Feng sighed. He was about to speak but stopped abruptly. It turned out that his eldest son Yuan Ji was back again. "What's the matter?"
"Reply to your lord," Yuan Ji replied carefully. "My family came to report again. The minister, Gongsun Xun, suddenly came to visit and said that he wanted to see your lord!"
"The students of Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi killed Xia Yu, and then Tian Yan drew his sword and forced Duan Xi back on Tongtuo Street?" Yuan Feng couldn't help but frowned and asked. "What White Horse Zhonglang, Shangshutai?
Chicken Chef?”
"Exactly." Yuan Ji continued to reply in a low voice. "Moreover, this person has been very close to Yushitai Wang Yun and Tian Feng these days, and Tian Feng publicly resigned outside the palace today, leaving his father and uncle to
That Jizhou Maocai is in trouble."
"Of course I'm here to call for punishment." Yuan Feng became increasingly helpless. "You blocked it all for me!"
"Here!" Yuan Ji said goodbye immediately.
Immediately, Yuan Feng looked at his concubine again, but it was Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who had the best appearance, ability, and reputation among the three sons.
"Father." Yuan Shao took a long breath, then lowered his head, as if urging his father to continue what he just said.
"Benchu." Yuan Feng frowned slightly and said, "This incident also happened by chance. God knows there were so many disasters in Nangong in one day, and they were real and visible to everyone, so I didn't have time to do anything to you.
Arrange it like this. When this matter is over, you will find an opportunity to let your confidants have a public quarrel with the eunuch, let the world know that you, Yuan Benchu, are still the model of the world, and then take the opportunity to return to your hometown in Runan. Where is
The foundation of the party is here, so you can keep your filial piety and support there, make friends with the party members, and criticize the eunuchs, so that you will no longer be troubled by the situation in Luozhong."
Yuan Shao, who had his head wrapped in a mourning cloth, nodded slightly, and then couldn't help but shake his head: "Having said that, I still don't know why the lord did this? This is really unheard of among the nobles and eunuchs... Sir, we
The Yuan family is the head of the clan and the leader of the scholars, so they don't need to rely on eunuchs to get a high position like the Xu family, right? You see, the Yang family has never been polite to eunuchs..."
"That's because the Yang family is only the second most famous family in the world." Yuan Feng suddenly sneered. "But our Yuan family is the number one..."
Yuan Benchu became more and more puzzled: "Forgive me for being ignorant."
"I'll tell you sooner or later!" Yuan Feng smiled slightly, but then looked up at the door frame of the inner hall again. "Why are you here again?"
"Father." Yuan Ji glanced at his younger brother, and then replied in a low voice. "Gongsun Xun spoke fiercely, and Wen Xian was forced by the situation to speak rudely. My son really couldn't resist it..."
"Gongsun Xun is a military man from a county in western Liaoning." Yuan Shao suddenly smiled without looking back, not knowing who he was talking to. "I only know that Ziyuan, Yuan Tu, and Zhongzhi all told me that this person is a
He has a sharp blade and is very good at killing people, but don’t you know that he also has a sharp tongue and is very good at swearing?”
"Did you hear that?" Yuan Feng asked after hearing what was said. "Whether it's that boy Yang Biao or the chicken cook at the Chancery's desk, no matter what you say, you should treat me with courtesy and let them scold you. Don't you want to finish the scolding?"
That’s all. Aren’t you allowed to be scolded when you do something wrong? Is it because you don’t know that the eunuch is a bastard or do I?”
Yuan Ji lowered his head slightly, although he looked a little embarrassed...but he finally did not dare to disobey his father and walked away.
Yuan Feng immediately sighed, these three brothers... really wanted to drink a pot of it for him, and the reaction of the princes and scholars was really faster and more intense than expected.
It seems that I need to take the initiative to make some kind of gesture.
