Chapter Fourteen

"Where are you thinking?" Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting around playing with cats with her daughter-in-law and others, laughed out loud when she saw her son being so angry. "How dare he claim to be king? This is what I made up with him.

Number!"

Gongsun Xun was immediately relieved: "That's fine, but where did this nickname come from?"

"Do you remember the kind of dried food that was put in the soup when you were a child...the kind I call mushrooms?" Aunt Gongsun said indifferently. "They were all gifts from him, and because he was afraid of sending the wrong ones, he would send them every day.

Dozens or hundreds of varieties are delivered to our home every time.”

"Is that why we came up with the idea of ​​the Mushroom King?" Feng Zhi, whose eyebrows were beginning to open, couldn't help but interjected with a smile.

Aunt Gongsun smiled and said nothing.

Gongsun Xun raised his head and thought for a moment, but suddenly became furious: "Is he actually the Mushroom King? Isn't this person still determined to give up? And when did he become the leader of one of the five tribes of Goguryeo?!"

Feng Zhi was startled, Zhao Yun and Bian Yu also looked over curiously, but Aunt Gongsun laughed again: "He is the son of the clan leader of the Guan Na tribe. After his father died, he will naturally become the clan leader."

Gongsun Xun's face turned green and red, so he could only throw away his hands and go out.

It turned out that the Mushroom King Gongsun Xun knew about it, but he was still very young at that time, and the Amway was not that powerful yet, and he was not a clan leader. At that time, the other party came in person with goods from his own tribe.

Selling in western Liaoning... But now that I think about it, this guy probably just wants to inquire about the military situation.

After all, ever since Goguryeo rebelled and took the opportunity to expand, the Northeast policy of the Han Dynasty has always been to support the weakest Fuyu people and prevent the expansion of the Goguryeo people. But today's Xuantu County actually has one of its most important functions.

It was to deal with Goguryeo.

Not to mention these, in short, at that time, this guy came to Liaoxi to do business. Because he had a lot of goods, he was summoned by Aunt Gongsun, who was expanding her business.

And this summons was extraordinary. Just imagine, such a Goguryeo country bumpkin had never seen the grace of a noble woman from the Central Plains? Therefore, when he met Gongsun Auntie once, and saw her magnanimity and image, he couldn't help but regard her as a heavenly being.

I also heard that the other party was a widow, so I kept thinking about her and wanted to ask for her hand in marriage.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the result. How could Aunt Gongsun go with the other Goguryeo barbarians? She was beaten out on the spot and almost lost her life.

However, this guy persevered and repeatedly sent gold, silver, pearls, and mushrooms from Goguryeo over the past few years. Aunt Gongsun got annoyed, so she gave him the title of 'Mushroom King'. This title was not so much a joke about the mushrooms he sent that day.

There are so many types, it’s better to say that they find the other party’s grinding skills annoying!

Gongsun Xun heard this matter as a joke from people around him when he was a child.

However, things have changed. Now Gongsun is afraid that she will have a grandson, and Gongsun Xun has also changed from a child to a Xiangping order. This mushroom king is mute and careless, but he is still alive, and he even came to Liaodong to visit his old friend.

It also makes people hate it with itch.

But itching is itching, if someone is not rude, in front of his mother, Gongsun Xun really can't do anything.

In the evening, the banquet was held, and Mrs. Gongsun unceremoniously sat at the head of the table, followed by Gongsunyu, the former prefect of Xuantu, Zhang Jian, the "famous criminal in the country", his son Xiangpingling Gongsun Xun, and others such as Lu Fan, Lou Gui, etc.

As a companion, he entertained this guest from Goguryeo next door in his own hall.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Aunt Gongsun even showed off her new work that Tiguan had carefully crafted - several iron pots, and had people demonstrate how to cook with lard in the hall!

This actually made Zhang Jian guess right.

I have to say that the taste of stir-fry dishes is really novel. The appearance of these pots seems to subvert everyone's understanding of food. It can be called a wonderful dish... Everyone eats extremely comfortably, and the banquet atmosphere is

It's even better.

As for the dumb and dumb person Gongsun Xun was staring at, maybe he was considered an 'old man' at his current age. His stomach was bulging, and the past was like a cloud of smoke. He couldn't see anything, so there was no unnecessary topic throughout the whole process.

, and there was nothing rude about him. In addition, he spoke Chinese well, knew etiquette, and had a straight crown, straight hair, and a beard. He was dressed like a chubby old Confucian scholar from the Han Dynasty, so naturally everyone was missing.

It's a bit of contempt, but it's also a sign of harmony.

However, since Gongsun Xun deliberately wanted to find trouble, how could he not find it?

"Aunt Meng and Grand Administrator Gongsun have been taking care of our tribe's business for many years. The tribe has been able to accumulate some wealth because of the face given by the two of them. I would like to propose a toast to you both." Yamo Kexi stood up and drank a full cup before sitting back down.

.

"Speaking of the Goguryeo trade route." Just when Gongsun Auntie and Gongsun Yu were about to toast in return, Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted. "I have some difficult things related to it here, and I was about to take this opportunity to talk about it.

Let me tell you a few..."

In front of outsiders, Aunt Gongsun still wanted to give face to her son, so she immediately put down her wine glass.

And what Gongsun Xun was talking about were the files that were sent to his residence.

"In less than three years, more than a hundred people died on the trade road." By the candlelight, Gongsun Xun sighed with his cup on the table. "I don't know how many people died for this in the previous ten years?

You have to find a way to restrain it."

"Wen Qi is overthinking." The first person to refute was the former Governor of Xuantu and Gongsun Du's godfather Gongsun Yu. He is now old and decrepit, but after all, he was the Governor of the border county who had fought in the war, so it was

He spoke simply. "The life of a barbarian from the border area is worthless. What do you want him to do... According to me, he will die if he dies!"

However, Aunt Gongsun frowned seriously: "I feel guilty after all for the innocent loss of life. It would be good if there was a way to reduce the cost."

"There is really nothing we can do!" Gongsunyu quickly advised. "Auntie, please don't stop eating because of choking. If it really affects the trade route, I'm afraid the harm will be even greater! This kind of thing is unavoidable on the trade routes in border counties. In the past, we were safe

When the numbers were not spread out, there was only horse and cloth business here, but it was even more chaotic than it is now... Border counties, especially places close to other countries, had no order at all! As for these files, Wen Qi

Just listen to what I say and it will be set on fire!"

"That's what it is." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but frowned. "But now that we are training for civil defense, if there are more patrols, it will probably be a lot better."

"Don't be kidding," Gongsunyu immediately said seriously. "Although there has been no war between our dynasty and Goguryeo for several years, if there is a sudden increase in troops on the border, it may lead to a war, and not just one or two people will die by then!"

When Gongsun Xun heard this, he immediately turned to look at the Goguryeo Mushroom King.

Everyone's expressions were astonished. From Gongsun Yu to Gongsun Auntie, even Lu Fan, Lou Gui and others who were sitting below, they all looked at this person.

Seeing this, Yaya Keli couldn't help but smile bitterly: "From my perspective, I naturally hope that the border will be stable and everyone can live in harmony, but do you know the current situation in Goguryeo?"

"Of course I know." Gongsun Yu shook his head and sighed. "But my clan brother doesn't know. But Duke Lu might as well speak frankly to him."

Gongsun Xun frowned slightly. He originally wanted to use an excuse to make the other party look incompetent in front of his mother, so that he could vent his anger. He really didn't think too much about Goguryeo. However, in the current situation, there is really something going on in Goguryeo?

"The origin of our Goguryeo naturally does not need to be explained in detail." Seeing this, Yamo Keli didn't think too much. He just explained it to Gongsun Xun and others seriously. "It originated from Buyeo in the north. At that time, the first king Jumong was in Buyeo.

After failing to compete for the throne, he led a group of vassal tribes all the way south, and then encountered the border of the Han Dynasty. They settled here and attached themselves to the Han Dynasty. It became a vassal state in Goguryeo County, Xuantu County. At that time, it was divided into one vassal and five tribes.

Later, Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty and drove our people to attack the Huns in the north. The people were unwilling to do it, so King Jumong was killed. From then on, we became the king of Goguryeo and became independent, and expanded day by day... Needless to say, these are just the specifications of one king and five tribes.

But it has never changed. The king is the king himself, and political affairs are handled by the nobles of the five tribes. Even if the royal family in the middle is weak and a strong tribe takes over as the king, it will still be one king and five tribes."

Everyone nodded slightly... Not to mention the well-known history of Goguryeo, what the other party emphasized was actually the so-called internal political system of Goguryeo. According to him, the five tribes of Goguryeo did not include the royal family. In other words, there should be six tribes.

, these six departments can even rotate the throne internally! And all subsequent expansion bonuses will be enjoyed by these six departments together.

These six parts are the basic structure of Goguryeo's internal politics.

"But," Yaya Kelu suddenly shook his head and sighed. "About twenty years ago, one of the five departments, Rong Na, gradually became more and more powerful, far surpassing our other four. Among them, the character Ming Lin Dafu appeared.

This man has always been in charge of the military. After his power reached its peak more than ten years ago, he deposed the king without authorization. He also almost killed all the adults in the royal family. Now, although our king is the younger brother of the murdered king, he is nothing more than

He's just a puppet."

There is nothing new under the sun, this is where the powerful minister comes from!

"At the beginning," Yaya Kelu continued. "Ming Lin Dafu was willing to make some exchanges with the other four of our tribes. Yu Feiliu of Huan's tribe and I were even invited by him to take charge of the state affairs, but as he

His power has increased day by day. He was still a princess when he was young, and he divided the public land into his own private land. He also blocked two attacks from powerful men... Now he has a monopoly on political affairs. He even followed the example of your country's general and built a

The official position is called Mo Lizhi, who takes sole control of the government and is prepared to succeed the father after his son dies!"

"Everything in the world is the same." Zhang Jian said with rare emotion after hearing this.

"I once had a fight with Ming Lin Dafu." Gongsun Yu also recalled. "That day, I heard about the civil strife in Goguryeo, so I raised five thousand troops to help the Fu Yu people regain some lost territory, so as to balance one and two. As a result, the five thousand cavalry arrived and sat down.

There, a walled city had been built along the rivers and mountains, and the cavalry was unable to attack the fortress, so they had no choice but to retreat!"

"Then Ming Lin Da Fu will go back and brag," the dumb guy on the side couldn't help laughing. "He said that Gongsun Prefect's five thousand cavalry were defeated by him, so his prestige will be even greater..."

Gongsunyu sneered: "If I am defeated by him and suffer some losses, I am afraid I will be driven into Luo. How can I have a drink and laugh with you, Mr. Kelu, here?"

"It's not just that!" Yaya Keli continued to laugh. "Later, Grand Administrator Gongsun resigned and was replaced by Grand Administrator Geng Lingeng. He also sent 5,000 cavalrymen from Xuantu County to test Zuiyuan, and at that time, Zuiyuan's fortress defense line was more stable.

, Governor Geng simply returned midway... As a result, Ming Lindafu returned to our Goguryeo court and boasted again, saying that the Han army had five thousand elite cavalry and no horse could return. From now on, Goguryeo would be safe with his protection.

!”

Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Xun choked out together... If the Goguryeo people really killed five thousand cavalry, Xuantu County would probably be wiped out? Why would Ming Lin Dafu dare to brag like this?!

Of course, there were powerful ministers in Goguryeo, and it was true that the Han Dynasty had failed to test it twice, so the fire was shut down. I am afraid that many foolish people in Goguryeo believed it.

"It's a tradition of the Goguryeo people." Aunt Gongsun also shook her head and laughed, but everyone was puzzled by her meaning.

"In short." The mute Keli arched his hands to Gongsun Xun with a serious look, and touched his fat belly again, and couldn't help but sigh. "Gongsun County Lord, I understand what you mean. But although I am one of the five tribes of Goguryeo,

The leader of the clan, now the only people he can command and move are his own clan members, and he can only protect the business roads. As for the affairs of the country, it is not because I don’t want to live in peace with the Han Dynasty, but I really can’t help myself! Otherwise, I

How can a leader of the five tribes who have been in power come to Liaodong to visit friends in his spare time? He is really being ostracized in the country."

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a moment... He just wanted to embarrass the other party, and didn't think much about it. But the other party was so frank, not telling the inside story of Goguryeo, and directly explaining his embarrassing current situation, so it would not be good for him.

The pressure continues.

So, he immediately nodded and put the matter aside.

Next, we cooked in a natural iron pot, drank wine with old friends, and finally got drunk.

But at the end of the banquet, Gongsun Xun, served by Mrs. Bian, returned to the official temple across the street and was about to rest. Lou Zibo and Lu Ziheng, who had shown no performance at the banquet before, followed him hand in hand.

Needless to say, Bian Yu temporarily left the room.

"What's the matter?" Gongsun Xun casually picked up a file on the couch and looked through it with his back to his two confidants, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Lou Gui and Lu Fan looked at each other, each speechless.

"Let's talk about something..."

"Young Master, the mute person who was talking about the situation in Goguryeo just now clearly had a hint!" Lou Zibo said sternly. "But Zi Heng and I were discussing below, and we came up with a clever plan, which not only made Young Master

It has made great achievements in the imperial court, helped the people of Liaodong, and even allowed Shaojun himself to use this trick to escape from the prison of Liaodong!"

"I also think Uncle Zi's plan is feasible, but I don't know if Wen Qi is still willing to leave this place in the current situation?" Lu Fan's words have always been more direct.

Gongsun Xun stood stunned for a long time, but suddenly dropped the file in his hand, then turned over and sat down: "If it is really useful, just say it, but don't imitate the eloquent words of the Goguryeo to make the world laugh."

——————I am the dividing line for sending mushrooms——————

"When Taizu moved to Xiangping, Liaodong, there was a neighboring county to Taizu. It was located in Fu and the people respected it, so it was Anzhi. At that time, Lu Ziheng and Lou Zibo were on the side. Due to the remoteness of Liaodong, they could not develop their ambitions, so they followed the old trick of Chong'er Qi.

, acted under the pretense of being drunk, and secretly used his name to get married to Goguryeo. When he returned, Taizu sat on the couch proudly and waited for him: "The agreement has been fulfilled?" Only then did the two realize their ambitions, and the more they became inspired." - "
