In the morning, the imperial envoy came to Xiangping. Gongsun Xun was inspecting spring plowing outside the city with Gao Yan, the governor of Liaodong. Therefore, before he returned to the city, he learned about his reward from the envoy sent back by his mother.
Wulu Tinghou, with 400 households living in the city, moved to Handan.
Instead of becoming two thousand stones immediately, he was asked to serve as a county magistrate again. This was undoubtedly the result of irritating Teacher Lu. However, judging from the 400 households in the city, it is obvious that this Tinghou received preferential treatment and compensation...
It seems that Gongsun Xun's statement that the Trinity returned to the emperor that day played a certain role.
As mentioned before, due to the oath of the white horse that no one can be granted the title of king except by Liu, and no one can be granted the title of marquis without merit, the marquisship in the Han Dynasty was extremely important, and then there was a more obvious refinement within the marquis... Regardless of the lack of enfeoffment.
Not to mention the Marquis of Guannei, there are three main levels among the Marquis of feudal cities: County Marquis, Township Marquis, and Ting Marquis. In the Han Dynasty, there were about a thousand counties, nearly 4,000 townships, and nearly 12,000 pavilions.
, it is clear at a glance which one is more important.
For example, the Hou of Zhao Bao, the father-in-law of Gongsun Xun, was actually the Marquis of Xiang. Historically, the Marquis of Shouting of the Han Dynasty of Guan Erye was a Marquis of Ting, but this pavilion was called Shouting of the Han Dynasty. As for Zhuge Liang's Marquis of Wuxiang,
, there have always been endless debates. Some people say that he is a Xianghou, but others say that there is a county in a certain place called Wuxiang, so he is the top county Marquis... This is not impossible, because there is a person recorded in the history of the Han Dynasty.
The Marquis of Ma Ting, at first glance, is a Marquis of Ting, but actually he is the Marquis of Ma Ting Township, and that township happens to be called Ma Ting Township.
But in addition, there is also the difference between Duting and Duxiang. The so-called Duting and Duxiang refer to the townships and pavilions in the city. You don’t need to think about it all to know that the pavilions and townships in the city are rich and prosperous.
The household registration and status are much higher than those in ordinary Tingxiang, so it feels like a higher level.
As for Sun Xun's Wulutinghou, he is a typical Dutinghou. The word Wulu in Wuluting originated from the nickname of Yiwulu Mountain. This pavilion is located in Lingzhi City, so he can live in four hundred cities.
household!
And if other pavilions outside Lingzhi City are sealed, for example, there are Bailang Pavilion, Bailu Pavilion (originating from Bailang Mountain) and Qinglong Pavilion (originating from Qinglong River) in the north of Lulongsai, they all belong to Lingzhi County.
Jurisdiction... At that time, some kind of Bailanghou or Qinglonghou will appear. Not to mention the weird names, it is impossible to have a settlement of more than 300 households, and the political status will be half a level lower.
So back to the present, although he has not yet reached two thousand stones, he is about to have a Dutinghou in hand. Even facing his nominal master Gao Yan, Gongsun Xun can't help but feel confident... To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty's
A marquis is much less than two thousand dan! Some two thousand dan may not be able to get a marquis after working for a lifetime, but it is impossible for a marquis to be old and unable to make two thousand dan!
Moreover, the Marquis has a golden seal and purple ribbon!
In fact, on the way back, Gao Yan openly invited Gongsun Xun to ride with him.
"Wenqi, Wenqi!" After getting on the bus, Governor Gao couldn't help but hold the other person's hand and congratulate him repeatedly. "It is natural to destroy a country and become a prince, but if you do it at a young age, you will not only have a bright future.
, it is even more famous in history...it is rare and rare!"
"I heard that the prince also granted the title of Marquis of the countryside, but I don't know the name of the township for the time being."
"It all depends on Wen Qi fighting hard at the front," Gao Yan seemed to be serious at this time. "I can only take advantage of God's merits for myself. It's ridiculous to think that I actually listened to the nonsense of my subordinates and sent people to chase you back...
I hope you won’t be offended.”
"In fact, what does it mean that I am wronged by myself?" Gongsun Xun slowly shook his head and sighed. "This time we send troops to Goguryeo, let alone the Hu cavalry who came for wealth and the Han army that was originally established in Xuantu County.
, I sent more than 3,000 troops to Liaodong, either fighting bravely in the front, or doing their best in the rear, but most of them were temporary village braves and strong men... Ming Gong, I tell the truth, if the reward cannot be postponed
If it comes to them, then I will get the position of Tinghou, and even if I turn around and go to Handan to take up my post, I will always feel uneasy in my heart."
"I understand what Wen Qi means." Gao Yan grabbed the opponent's hand and said sincerely. "Okay, Wen Qi will ask someone to send all the rewards that have been set. As long as the county can make arrangements, I will definitely give it to you before you leave office.
Comply with all instructions and do your best to be born like these people!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Xun finally smiled: "Gao Gong's words are really refreshing!"
"Wen Qi." Upon seeing this, Gao Yan also let go of his hand and sighed. "That is to say, you have become famous and will travel to a foreign country, so I just want to say one more thing here... You are a capable person, I don't know anything about it.
?And I am a person with no ability. I can only achieve two thousand dan at a time because of my family background. How can I not have self-awareness? What's the use of me standing up to you if you want to do something? Don't you?
Have you done it? You will only be humiliating yourself in vain. Not to mention, this time I have received your great favor and won the title of marquis, which will be a life-long comfort! Whatever you want to do or who you want to arrange, feel free to leave before you leave.
Just give."
Gongsun Xun gave a dry laugh and slightly cupped his hands to each other in the car as a courtesy. After entering the city, the two got out of the car to say goodbye and went their separate ways to go to the official temple to greet their respective envoys.
"Your Majesty!"
After receiving the decree from the palace, receiving the official documents from the Taiwei Mansion, the Chancellor's Desk, and the Bus Department, and finally being given the gold seal and purple ribbon, Gongsun Xun officially transformed into a marquis, and Wei Yue was waiting for the envoy.
As soon as he was sent to the backyard to rest, he was the first to change his title. "Congratulations, sir!"
"I've met Junhou!"
Different from Wei Yue's shouting, the rest of the people, starting from Lu Fan, Shen Pei, Lou Gui, Han Dang, Wang Xiu and other people with official status in the county temple, lined up neatly in a row.
He formally bowed and paid homage to Gongsun Xun, which made Wei Yue embarrassed, but he had no choice but to retreat and learn.
However, when Wei Yue retreated to the back row to salute, these people had already finished saluting and stood up, which made the former even more embarrassed.
"Everyone." When Gongsun Xun was feeling proud, he was too lazy to pay attention to Wei Yue's situation. "Xun's success today is mainly due to your talents and virtues. I can't do without you even for a moment. But today the imperial court is so unlucky.
There is also a decree for me to go to Handan as an order... Ziheng, Zhengnan, Zibo, Yi Gong, Shuzhi, would you like to go with me to Handan to experience the customs of Zhao land?"
"There is no reward for the virtue of a ruler." At this time, the sequence of names Gongsun Xun called had a very political meaning, so Lu Fan did his duty and was the first to step forward and hand over his hand. "Therefore, although Fan has no talent or virtue, he still has
I am willing to do my best for you."
"Good!" Gongsun Xun and Lu Fan have known each other for a long time, and the latter is the person he truly trusts, so he is too lazy to say anything loud and loud, and just nodded slightly.
"A scholar will die for a confidant," Shen Pei also boldly promised. "The prince trusts me and respects me. How could I not know? I am willing to do a career with the prince and fulfill my life ambition!"
Gongsun Xun also nodded slightly.
In fact, for the past six months, the relationship between Shen Pei and Gongsun Xun was more like a kind of "trial trial". If they really didn't like each other, they would have broken up as soon as Xiangping's term ended. Fortunately, after the battle of Goguryeo,
Both of them gave each other full marks. One felt that the other's intelligence level was really outstanding, and the other felt that the other was a person who could do great things. At the same time, they were willing to trust themselves unconditionally. So, even before the troops were withdrawn before the spring plowing,
The two of them had already tacitly reached a consensus with each other in Heshenggu City.
But this time, both parties have agreed on a ‘long-term contract’.
It was Lou Gui's turn next, and he twisted his beard and smiled: "I have become my lord's personal minister a long time ago. My lord, it is better for me to bypass my righteous father and me and go directly to ask Shuzhi!"
Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this, and Han Dang couldn't help but feel grateful... He really wanted him to imitate Lu Fan, and Shen Pei would not be able to speak like this, but Lou Gui solved his dilemma in disguise.
.
"What did Shu Zhi say?" Gongsun Xun and others laughed, but then looked at Wang Xiu, and the others were also looking forward to it.
To be honest, Wang Xiu is the kind of person who seems unremarkable when we first meet him, but the longer we get along, the more we feel that we can't live without him... Not only does he do a good job, but more importantly, he is dedicated to his responsibilities and works hard without complaining.
He will never cause trouble to anyone above, below, left or right. Moreover, if something really goes wrong in his duties, Wang Shuzhi will still speak out and point it out to you.
He can be regarded as a rare pure minister.
However, precisely because of this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy while looking forward to it, because at this time he was a little worried about the impact of the previous tomb robbing incident!
In other words, although he was criticized by many people, including his own wife, Gongsun Xun not only protected the army, but also punished many sergeants, officers, and even Mohu Zang and Taodun who participated in the tomb robbery.
.But after all, it was thunder and rain, and those measures were not proportional to the profits they gained.
As a result, when Gongsun Xun disbanded the Zahu army and the Ban Han division returned home, Wang Xiunai, who had just completed the relocation work, was the first to speak out and remonstrate directly, and his tone was also rare and fierce... which made Gongsun
Xun couldn't get off stage for a while, but he knew he was in the wrong and had no shame to refute.
Therefore, although Wang Xiu immediately saluted and congratulated him, if he really wanted to go with the flow and give up, then Gongsun Xun would really have no choice.
"Report to the emperor," Wang Shuzhi said after thinking carefully, with a bow. "In the past, I came to Liaodong from the sea. I heard at the Tingtao Pavilion that Brother Zibo's eight strategies for governing the county have always been deeply believed in. However, Liaodong is located outside the Great Wall and
The customs in the Central Plains are different, so I have always been worried about it... But today, I would like to go with you to Handan to see how you can suppress the strong, support the weak, and govern the place there!"
This answer made everyone sigh for a moment, and they looked at Wang Xiu differently. Shen Pei probably didn't know what Ting Tao Ba Ce was, so he looked at Wang Shuzhi a few more times with a little doubt. However, from Gongsun Xun's perspective,
It doesn't matter... because the few talents he values in front of him will ultimately follow him. For Wulu Tinghou, who has made up his mind and has a longer-term vision, this is much more important than whether Handan or Handan.
After completing the most important step here, Gongsun Xun couldn't be idle, because after all, he would leave his job soon and take up a new post, so he had to quickly let several confidants review the finishing touches on the Liaodong side in accordance with the agreement with Gao Yan.
Things will work.
First of all, there are those who have made contributions in this battle, such as the former number one hunter in Liaodong, a commoner named Liu who suddenly became a local miser; another example is the ranger leader Liu who came from a powerful family in Pingguo and suddenly transformed into a county lieutenant in Pingguo; and Gongsun Xun.
Tian Shao, who had released military rations, came full circle and now returned to the position of Prime Minister of Xiangping County, preparing to take charge of the county government before Gongsun Xun left office and the new county magistrate arrived...
This is a combination of glory and loss. But no matter what, military achievements are recorded in the end, and it cannot be said to be a selfish move. On the contrary, it has a somewhat upright and impeccable taste.
Not only that, Gongsun Xun also sent a messenger to Xuantu, asking people to ask whether Xu Rong and his colleagues and subordinates had received a thorough and fair promotion; then he suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly wrote on the case
He wrote a letter to Gongsun Fan, adding that he had participated in the war voluntarily and openly, and had it taken to Gao Yan, and prepared to send it to western Liaoning with the official document of Liaodong County. Finally, he was busy until evening, and returned home after hard work. Gongsun, the elder brother,
There were also a number of important households in the counties in the region who sent people over early to congratulate him, and spent the whole night in a daze to welcome him.
In this way, until the second watch, the Gongsun family's private house across the street behind the county temple was still brightly lit.
"Young Master... Your Majesty!" When Aunt Lin came over to call someone, she made a mistake as soon as she opened her mouth. "The mistress calls you over."
"Why are you doing this, Eighth Aunt?" Gongsun Xun, who was a little drunk, weighed his gold seal and purple ribbon, and couldn't help but shake his head. "The guests have all left, and in the private house, people don't call me Ah Xun like they did when they were little.
It’s okay to call me Young Master as usual.”
Aunt Lin could not help but smile bitterly.
"Forget it, where is mother?" Seeing this, Gongsun Xun also restrained his complacency and became a little more serious.
"Just enjoy the moon in the backyard." Aunt Lin reminded in a low voice. "Young Madam and Madams Bian and Feng are both here."
Gongsun Xun became more sober, and after thanking the other party a little, he hurried to the backyard.
"Our Lord Marquis is here." Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting in the rocking chair without wearing glasses, saw her son coming in from a distance. Then, she also sneered and put down the fat cat in her arms, letting the latter bully her daughter-in-law.
The cat son. "How's it going? Did you get what you wanted?"
After returning from Goguryeo, although the mother and son had essentially let go of their knot, something was wrong on the surface... Of course, the main reason was the mother's unilateral cynicism towards her son, and then the son's shy face.
Accept.
"What did mother say?" Gongsun Xun said with a hint of drunkenness. "You must know that it is not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis. I only hope that Liao will be safe..."
"What a coincidence!" Aunt Gongsun immediately lowered her face. "I was also talking to your wife, asking her if she was 'poor enough to sit on the mountain's bones', and if she was 'repenting of teaching her husband to seek the title of Marquis'?"
Gongsun Xun immediately stood up obediently, and then remained silent. The three ladies also quickly stood up and stood in attendance.
"Everyone, sit down!" Aunt Gongsun suddenly became bored. "I'm either sincerely speaking to you, or I'm just teasing our Wuwuhou! Mr. Wuwuhou..."
The wife and two concubines hurriedly sat down, making Gongsun Xun, the only one standing, even more embarrassed.
"Ah Xun, Wen Qi!" Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting sideways on the rocking chair, couldn't help but shake her head. "There is something I can't make up my mind about, and I want to ask you."
“Mother speaks out!”
"You are going to take up your post, and Bian Yu will stay here to raise the baby... If the baby is born, what will it be called?"
When Gongsun Xun heard this, he took another look at Bian Yu's belly and immediately forgot all about fame and wealth, the future of his subordinates, and the hegemony of the princes. But if he really thought about it seriously, what happened in his mind was that
It was also empty and I felt at a loss what to do.
"I mean, you have to leave a message." Aunt Gongsun sighed. "There is no need to be outstanding, just be simple and suitable for both men and women... Why, we are about to leave, and you can't give Bian Yu,
Do you want to give an explanation to a child like you who I have never met?"
Gongsun Xun looked past Zhao Yun and Feng Zhi, who were bowing their heads, and faced Bian Yu's expectant face. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only hold back an extremely ordinary word: "It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, just call it 'Li'."
The meaning of parting...Gongsun Li...what does mother think, is there anything wrong?"
Aunt Gongsun didn't take it seriously at first, then suddenly she sat up and stopped talking several times.
"Is there something wrong?" Gongsun Xun asked in confusion. "If you have any questions, mother, just speak up."
"It doesn't matter." After thinking again and again, Aunt Gongsun finally nodded with a strange smile. "Just call her A Li. Gongsun Li, it's a good name... At this time, I wish it was a girl!"
Gongsun Xun was suddenly startled, but then nodded slowly.
Bian Yu lowered his head and said nothing. Feng Zhi couldn't help but raise her head slightly. However, Zhao Yun finally let out a long breath in her heart...but she didn't show it.
Under the spring moon, there are five people in a family with the same name, but they actually have different thoughts.
————I am the dividing line that is about to leave————
"In the spring of the second year of Guanghe's reign in the Later Han Dynasty, Taizu granted him the honor of destroying Goguryeo and granted him the title of Marquis of Wulu Pavilion. Wulu was the doctor of Wulu, so he made Zhidu Pavilion, which matched the name and was praised by people at that time." - "Old Yan Book"
