"I heard that Wen Qi did something great last night?" At noon, in Taichung, the official of the Central Capital, Cao Shangshu, Liu Taozheng, pinched his gray beard and frowned and asked.
Behind him, several ministers and ministers secretly glanced at Gongsun Xun with admiring yet twinkling eyes... As for those who were attached to the eunuchs and disciples of the Yuan family, naturally they would not.
Stay here.
"I didn't do anything big," Gongsun Xun said sincerely. "I just saw that the eunuch was too arrogant at the court meeting. He felt unhappy, so he went to Wang Fu's house to disturb him, and then went to visit Yuan Taipu and invite him.
Come forward and lead us to curb the arrogance of the eunuchs..."
"Didn't it mean that Brother Wenqi went to Yuan Taipu's house and cursed loudly, the sound shook the courtyard, and the neighbors on the left and right used ladders to lean on the wall to listen?" Wang Lang couldn't help but ask. "This matter has spread early in the morning."
"Jing Xing's words can easily be misunderstood." Gongsun Xun quickly corrected him. "At first glance, you thought I was scolding Yuan Taipu... In fact, although I cursed yesterday, I was scolding the eunuch in power! Think about it.
, the person who entertained me and Yang Wenxian was the eldest son of the imperial servant, how could I scold my biological father in front of his son?"
"I'll just say it!"
"It is indeed a nonsense rumor."
The colleagues at the Shangshu desk around him were relieved.
"Then why did Brother Wenqi scold eunuchs?" Wang Lang, the youngest, couldn't help but ask.
"Swearing is nothing more than those words," Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "Some vulgar words, what's the point?"
"Let's not talk about this." Liu Tao suddenly waved his hand. "I asked Wen Qi to come out for business. You come with me... You must go back to work quickly."
Everyone hurriedly said hello, and although Gongsun Xun didn't know the reason, he still hurriedly followed his immediate boss to somewhere in Shangshutai.
"Actually, vulgar language can also be polite." Seeing Gongsun Xun and Liu Tao leaving together, at this moment, an older minister suddenly spoke, causing everyone who was about to disperse to turn around again. "Just now.
Liu Gong is here, I can't talk... You don't know, early this morning, I met Yang Wenxian in front of Nangong Gate. He said that when he sat next to Wenqi last night, he was sweating and at a loss, so I couldn't help but ask him
He recited a few of Wen Qi's vulgar words, and listening carefully, it was really enjoyable!"
"Brother Han, please give me some advice!"
"How about reciting it and listening to it?"
"Yes, there are only you and me brothers here, and we are both gay, so what's the taboo?" The ministers immediately became interested.
"Just a few words."
"Just a few sentences is fine!"
"Then I will show my disgrace." The man said, stroking his beard slightly. "I vaguely remember that there was a saying first that 'the Han Dynasty declined, the eunuchs caused trouble, the country was in chaos, and the years were fierce, and there was chaos from all directions'..."
Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.
"There is a saying in it, 'Above the temples, rotten trees serve as officials; between the palaces, animals and beasts eat their salary. Even the wolf-hearted and dog-eating people are raging in the dynasty, and the servile and servile people are serving the government one after another'..."
All the ministers looked down again. After all, these words seemed to refer to Sang scolding Huai. No wonder there were rumors that Gongsun Xun scolded the imperial servant.
"However, what makes people feel most happy is the last words that Brother Wen Qi said when he stood up to say goodbye. The so-called 'a brilliant man, an old thief without a beard, a sin so serious that heaven and earth cannot tolerate it'!"
"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Wang Lang, the youngest in the crowd, immediately raised his palms and sighed without waiting for his colleagues to react. "Lang has never heard such heartfelt words in his life!"
Naturally, everyone nodded with emotion.
But just as Wang Lang was cheering, Gongsun Xun had already followed Liu Tao into the palace of the new minister Ling Yangqiu.
"Mr. Yang, that's it." Liu Tao twisted his beard and said to Yang Qiu. "What do you think of Wen Qi?"
"Liu Gong is the official minister of Zhongdu, why do you need to tell me such a thing?" Yang Qiu was still very considerate to Liu Tao, who was much more senior and older than him. "Besides, since something happened to Shi Xie, then
Besides Wen Qi, who else can take on the job of being a Zhongdu official?"
Gongsun Xun was confused for a moment.
"You don't know yet?" Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. "There is news from Jiaozhou that Wei Yan (Shi Xie)'s family has participated in the rebellion. According to the law, he must leave his post. This is what Wei Yan is today
The reason I didn’t come over…”
Gongsun Xun was startled at first, but he soon stopped.
After all, the Shi family where Shi Xie belongs is the only Chinese family in Jiaozhou with a family worth two thousand dan for generations. They migrated from Shandong during the Wang Mang Rebellion, and their power and influence spread throughout Jiaozhou... Therefore, whether it is the imperial court or the local indigenous people,
They all value their family very much.
To be honest, it would be wrong if Jiaozhou rebelled against four counties in one fell swoop but did not involve the Shi family! But it didn’t matter, because of the family background of the Shi family, if the court wanted to settle Jiaozhou, it would have to rely on their family in the end.
It's not certain that this retired Shixie Shiweiyan will become the governor of Jiaozhou when he turns around.
So, there is no need to worry about this person at all.
"As for Zhongdu officials being engaged," Yang Qiu stood up and continued to explain. "It is because the imperial court felt that it was important to maintain public security in Luozhong, so it specially selected a minister among the officials in Zhongdu and added the title of engaged in it.
Connect Shangshutai and Sili Xiaowei to facilitate emergency disposal..."
Gongsun Xun had a look of surprise on his face, which was a good thing. After all, no matter which organization, affairs in Luozhong were the most important. Being the person in charge of affairs in Luozhong in Caozhong was considered a promotion in disguise.
Not to mention, the four words "ad hoc handling" are the most popular!
Moreover... I had just "personally" gone to Wang Fu's house yesterday to cause a disturbance, and actually broke into a private house. Today, I have become the leader in charge of Luoyang's public security, theft prevention and disaster prevention in Shangshutai. I don't know the malicious intent in this.
Can Wang Fu and Wang Changshi feel it?!
Of course, what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that Wang Fu, who was in a small courtyard somewhere in the Beigong, no longer needed this malicious intention to trouble him.
"Mr. Cao!" Wang Fu asked with a look of grief and anger. "Why are you not allowed to see the Holy Spirit?"
"I didn't say no, I just advised you not to go." Cao Jie responded disapprovingly. "You said it yourself, and there is no basis for it. Why bother to alarm His Majesty for this?"
"yes!"
"Wang Changshi calms down his anger."
"Mr. Cao also has good intentions." A group of older attendants in the courtyard also hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Why is there no evidence?" Wang Fu became more and more angry, but because of Cao Jie's power, he could only turn around and explain to the other regular attendants. "You don't know, I witnessed it yesterday,
That guy shot down my son Wang Meng's wine glass with an arrow, almost killing him! Not only that, after missing a single hit, he actually dared to shout that he would take my life sooner or later before running away...
All the guests in my house and the surrounding neighbors can hear it clearly!"
Why didn't I kill you with one arrow? Da Changqiu Cao Jie was speechless while listening. If I really kill you, I will enforce the law impartially and use this as an excuse to kill that kid to shock these dancing people.
Young people, isn't everything going to be fine?
Of course, Cao Jie's face was still very calm: "Wang Changshi, what kind of cat or dog is this Gongsun Xun? You can get rid of him if you want to get rid of him? Where the emperor naturally has Zhao Changshi to help him, and there is Lu Zhi at the Chancellery.
Liu Tao protected him and even returned home, which was next door to Wen Raogong. If you don't have evidence..."
"Da Changqiu!" Wang Fu almost jumped up. "I told you, that arrow was shot directly..."
"Have you seen the face?" Cao Jie finally became impatient, and actually raised his hands and asked quietly.
"I……"
"Just the sound?"
"..."
"Why is it not framed by someone else? Someone else is pretending?"
"..."
"Do you know that Gongsun Xun spent the whole night at Yuan Taipu's house last night scolding the eunuch for causing harm to the country? What he said was, 'A man with a bright head and an old thief without a beard'..."
"ha?"
"Yang Wen is here to testify, and His Majesty will not disbelieve it! If you insist that someone went to your house, even Yuan Yang will not be able to get through."
"But I don't believe it!" Wang Fu suddenly responded. "So what if Yuan Yang testified? God knows if he failed to kill me first, and then went to Yuan Feng's house to make a show? I only know that that guy almost killed me and kept me in the house.
The son who has been under my knees for decades and is ready to take care of him until his death! He is such a bold man. If I can’t kill him, how will everyone in the world think of me, Wang Fu?”
"Wang Changshi." Cao Jie became more and more helpless. "We just barely passed the test at the court meeting yesterday. This is not the time to care about such things, let alone start another dispute with Yuan Yang."
"I don't understand!" Wang Fu's face suddenly turned red, and he took a step forward. "Dear Changqiu, don't you and I have the final say in everything in this world?"
"Nine years ago, Dou Wu and Chen Fan were so rampant, weren't they defeated by us in one fell swoop and their entire clan was destroyed?"
"Five years ago, some imperial students were eager to write on the palace gate, insulting us as eunuchs. We didn't do anything ourselves at all. We just asked Duan Xi to come forward and dealt with thousands of imperial students... How did we get to this point?
Instead, you have to be careful about which one?"
At this point, Wang Fu looked directly at an old man with no hair and a two-thousand-stone official: "Yuan She, tell me, I, Wang Fu, want to kill someone, do I need to care about Yuan Yang's words?"
Yuan She, who was recognized as a brother by Yuan Feng and became a member of the Yuan family in Runan, did not dare to say anything... After all, among a group of older regular servants, Wang Fu was famous for his arrogance and domineeringness.
"And Mr. Cao!" Wang Fu suddenly turned to look at Dachangqiu Caojie, and took a few steps closer to face him face to face. "Are you as old as Duan Xi?
If you lose the courage, just let me do the work of Changqiu, which will be considered worthy of your name..."
"Snapped!"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Jie slapped the other party's face.
Wang Fu felt dizzy and his cheeks were swollen, but he felt much clearer. He quickly leaned over to apologize. However, Yuan She, Chun Yudeng and others who were not actually involved in the incident also immediately bowed to apologize.
"Everyone." After Cao Jiechang took a breath, he put his hands on his hands and said to the old eunuchs in front of him. "Do you think I don't want to kill this kid who is jumping up and down? You think I don't want to make the court become ugly?"
Is it as peaceful as before? But have you ever thought about why the court, which was so peaceful before, is now so turbulent and undercurrent?"
"Please give me some advice from Dachangqiu." Wang Fu lowered his head and responded with all his strength.
"Wang Fu." Cao Jie stared at the person in front of him and said coldly. "What you asked just now is actually quite good... But I also want to ask you, how old was the emperor when Chen Fan joined forces to kill Dou Wu?
Age? How old was the emperor when we asked Duan Xi to capture thousands of imperial disciples at one go? And now, after this new moon, how old is the emperor?"
All the elders and regular attendants trembled one after another.
"Or, Changshi Wang, do you think the emperor is a stupid person who can do whatever you want? Or, perhaps, do you regard Zhang Zhao and other Changshi as nothing?"
Wang Fu no longer dared to speak.
"Everyone, we, a group of eunuchs, all have authority from the Beigong behind us. And now that the emperor is old and extremely wise and sage, the outer court naturally understands that the emperor must make a decision at this time, so he is so ready to make a move...
...To be honest, if His Majesty wants to continue to leave things to us, we will naturally do our best, but if His Majesty does not want us to do things anymore, given our age and status, we can only try to find a way out at this time!"
At this point, Cao Jie's expression became increasingly gloomy: "The problem now is that although His Majesty has saved some face with us, his intention of replacing the old with the new has never changed... One by one, you don't want to think about it.
How can you survive, why are you still thinking about murder and arson? In recent years, relying on the emperor's trust, how many things have you done to offend people? In the dead of night, ask yourself, are you really not afraid to the point of sweating?"
During the first month of the year, the cold wind was still blowing, but Wang Fu was sweating profusely and confused!
"I don't want to hide anything from the teacher." Gongsun Xun explained to Lu Zhi with his head held high. "The students did this, firstly, to stand up after the Shuori Dynasty and tell the world that the blood of our generation of scholars has not yet been
Leng will not be shaken by a temporary setback. It is said to work forward in adversity and become the mainstay..."
Lu Zhi raised his head expressionlessly and looked at his student, then continued to lower his head and write his official document... In other words, nowadays, North Korea, China and Africa are the most important documents, and most of them have begun to use paper. However, this is not
The Gongsun family did not make much more money, because counterfeit paper soon appeared. The "Gongsun paper" used in Luozhong today, unless it is a calligrapher like Cai Yong who is very good at paper quality, is all from local workshops in Henan.
Bought from .
Here, seeing his teacher's reaction, Gongsun Xun was inevitably a little embarrassed, so he quickly lowered his voice and continued to explain: "Teacher, no matter what, the emperor always has the intention of replacing the old with the new. In this case, we should grasp it
The general trend is to take the initiative to attack. First, we must make arrangements in advance so that some of our own people can be in place in some key positions and wait for the opportunity; secondly, we should use various means to suppress the situation, make things intense and difficult to control as soon as possible, and force the other party to reveal their
Flaw, the so-called use of bloody courage to drive the majestic forward formation..."
"Hold on," Teacher Lu finally put down the pen and paper in his hand. "Yesterday you scolded Yuan Feng and scared Wang Fu just to suppress the situation?"
"yes!"
"Aren't you afraid of being killed by Wang Fu?"
"I'm not afraid of him in Nangong or at home." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "And I have arranged thirty cavalry guards on the road, all of whom are elites from the North who have returned from a bloody battle. If he dares to come and die, he will definitely be the one to die!"
"..."
"What do you think, teacher?"
"Who taught you this?"
"What?"
“Who taught you about ‘oppressive situations’?”
"...Mr. Qiao!"
Lu Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, and then he nodded slightly after a long time: "If Mr. Qiao asked you to do this, it makes sense. If you talk about planning in advance...is this what Mr. Qiao meant?"
"No." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel nervous. "This is what I said. Teacher, you see, I have just been appointed as Caozhong's supervisor of Luozhong's anti-theft, fire and thief prevention work, so I couldn't help but think about it. Such a position,
If we get the approval of the Shang Shutai and the Sili Colonel, then wouldn't it be possible to capture anyone with less than two thousand dan in Luozhong? Therefore, we should put those who dare to do things into the position of the Sili Colonel, and let the people with the heart know
People from important festivals come to command the Secretariat."
"That's useless." Lu Zhi said quietly, and then took out an official document box from his feet again. "For more than two thousand dan, you have to ask for an imperial edict anyway, and all the ministers of Zhongchang are 2,000 dan, and there are more.
Created a marquis."
"But if such preparations are made in advance, all it takes is a nod from the emperor, and the thing can be done suddenly!" Gongsun Xun tried his best to persuade. "Teacher, as Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, must have a clear understanding in his heart.
right."
Lu Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Then Wenqi, a doctor of thousands of stones, you might as well talk to me, Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who is the person who dares to do things, and who is the person with great integrity in his heart?"
"Now that Minister Ling Yang Qiu Yang is square, he is worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief of the Sili School!" Gongsun Xun lowered his voice and spoke seriously. "And Dr. Qiao Gong, the official of Guanglu, is the most qualified to be the Minister of Order!"
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Yang Qiu is more daring than you, and Qiao Gong is the best in the world for his integrity. Therefore, although your two sentences are somewhat inappropriate, they are
It’s really irrefutable!”
Gongsun Xun continued to whisper: "Also, yesterday I and Yang Biao walked out of the gate of Yuan Mansion. He took my hand and said that he would soon go to Jingzhao to serve as Jingzhao Yin. He wished he could help me. I was right
He said that Beijing is prosperous and eunuchs such as Wang Fu are bound to do harm, so we might as well collect evidence there secretly and then send it to me for backup!"
"Ha!" Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh, and then put down the official document he just picked up again. "Yang Wenxian was actually dragged on board by you? How many things did you do overnight?"
"It was an accidental encounter." Gongsun Xun explained helplessly. "I met Mr. Qiao when I went to court. I met Yang Wen first in the Yuan Mansion. The matter of Yang Fangzheng was suddenly remembered when Mr. Liu took me to accept the appointment just now. He
Didn't you shout in front of the Chancellor's desk before... What, if you are the captain of Sili, how can you let the monster be so arrogant?"
"Is there anyone else?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask. "Besides these three people, is there anyone else who wants to board the ship of your mainstay?"
"No more." Gongsun Xun quickly shook his head and urged again. "Isn't this enough? Teacher, your staff is really important. If you can help me..."
Lu Zhi lowered his head to read the official document and shook his head repeatedly: "Wenqi, the oppression you mentioned has not yet taken effect. At this time, Cao Jie and Yuan Feng are not in chaos... In order to operate the Sili school, the minister ordered this
Such a fatal position is simply a reminder to the other party to be vigilant."
Although Gongsun Xun was disappointed, he also knew that what his teacher said was true, and after all, it was just the first day that he changed from passive to active, so he didn't think too much about it. So, with this thought, he had no choice but to bow slightly and say goodbye.
.
However, just when Gongsun Xun left Cao's office in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was about to return to the porch where Cao, the official of Zhongdu, was holding a wooden box of official documents, a minister laughed and stopped him:
"Wen Qi scolded me so much yesterday."
Gongsun Xun was naturally humble, and the two exchanged a few words before preparing to return to their seats.
However, just when the two of them were facing each other, the official Cao Shangshulang suddenly held his official document box and whispered: "Wen Qi is really powerful. It seems that Mrs. Yuan was a little flustered by your scolding. This
They all went up to the table to attribute some disasters to themselves, and prepared to ask for demotion."
Gongsun Xun just nodded slightly, but didn't take it seriously... After all, for the Yuan family's legitimate son, the official position would be lowered today and raised tomorrow. Yuan Feng could never avoid the position of one of the three princes.
However, just as he was about to lift his leg, Gongsun Xun suddenly trembled, and then stood there in shock for a long time. Finally, he turned around again and went to the office of Cao Shangshu, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lu Zhi.
"At the beginning, the Taizu of this dynasty was in Luo, making appointments with the princes to punish the eunuchs. However, King Cao was ferocious and promiscuous, and Yuan Yang was ignorant, so he was often out of date. As time went by, the court hall began to look gloomy and tired.
On the first day of the lunar month, Taizu Yin did it at night. He first shocked Wang Fu, then reprimanded Yuan Feng, and then said that Yang Biao was complicit. The next day, he met Lu Zhi, Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and asked Yang Qiu to be the commander of the Sili school.
Qiao Xuan was the minister, so he quickly settled people's hearts. When Luozhong heard about it, everyone looked sideways and regarded Taizu as their mainstay.
PS: I haven’t been in good condition these past two days. After 9.6k that day, the weather in Beijing changed at night. I got up with a headache and then four ulcers appeared on my lower lip... All kinds of discomfort were terrible, and it was difficult to concentrate. I wrote
It's also very difficult...I try my best to adjust, and I hope everyone will be patient.
