To be honest, Gongsun Xun always thought that this person's surname was Zhang Fei and his courtesy name was Yide!
But thinking about it at this time, Zhang Fei should be much younger than Liu Bei. He may still be a teenager at this time. Not to mention that this person may not have known Liu Bei, but they have known each other. He has not yet grown up.
What's the use of having the 'enemy of ten thousand people' in your hands? What's the difference between it and the 'enemy of ten thousand insects' from Yanmen?
To put it bluntly, Gongsun Xun has long realized that the growth of a character requires experience.
Not to mention the half-finished example of Lou Gui... Could it be that the messy look Cao Mengde had while taking a bath in the whirlpool that day was the posture of Wei Wu who was lashing out at the world? Liu Bei, who spent all his time fighting dogs and racing in his teens, and his mother-in-law are now dead.
Liu Bei, who is alone, is obviously not alone, right?
Even Gongsun Xun himself, if he had not gone to Luoyang to study the classics, how could he have given up his respect for the classics? If he had not been punished at the Chancellery, how could he have completely given up his last hope for the royal family and the royal family? What if
How could he become as confident as he is now if he didn't mention that 10,000 people could destroy a country?
Of course, Gongsun Xun did not despise these "heroes of the Three Kingdoms". On the contrary, he valued these people very much... After all, the "survivor effect" that his wife used when discussing these people seemed to him.
It's quite right. Maybe there must be grass within ten steps, or maybe there are a lot of heroes hidden in the pile of righteousness behind him, but these people who have left their names in history have 'already' proven their ability and luck.
own.
Even further, since I have made up my mind to compete, it would be a lot of benefit if I could understand some people's personalities and conduct in advance... The match trial is an excellent positive example. If it weren't for that day
He boldly entrusted his retreat to this person, Shen Zhengnan. The outcome of the battle in Goguryeo may not be so clean and tidy! But why would Gongsun Xun be so bold to entrust his retreat to this person? Didn't he already know that?
, this Shen Zhengnan is not only resourceful, but also a loyal person, and will never do anything that betrays his master!
Therefore, Gongsun Xun's attitude towards these "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" is actually one of expectation and a hint of calmness... He recognizes the abilities and qualities they have shown in his mother's story, and is willing to make efforts to explore them, but does not insist on them.
.Moreover, if you really meet someone, you have to choose a truly appropriate way of communication based on the actual situation between you and the other person.
For example, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu before... Dong Zhuo is now a standard man of loyalty. You are secretly wary of him, but at the same time you can't treat him as a national traitor under any circumstances, right? As for Lu Bu, this current leader who doesn't know what he is doing now
Tiger, Gongsun Xun's first reaction that day was to stay away, not only because of the bad conduct of the slave with the third surname in his mother's mouth, but more importantly because Lu Bu had shot him with an arrow that day.
Putting the two together, Gongsun Xun will naturally be extremely wary of this person!
In fact, if Mrs. Gongsun knew her son's thoughts, she would definitely say, this is a hodgepodge of romanticism and realism... not particular!
In short, when he came back to the front, he heard that the other party was not Zhang Fei, but some kind of trick that he had never heard of before. Gongsun Xun, who was holding a trace of expectation, was startled at first, but then he lost control and returned to normal:
"Since you are my brother's life-and-death friend, you might as well sit down."
"Thank you so much!" Qianzhao, who was also a young man who had just grown up, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"Zi Jing is not a vulgar person." Liu Bei said without changing his expression. He seemed to be saying it casually, but in fact he was reminding him. "He and Shi Lu over there, who has not yet been crowned, are both famous scholars in Anping.
A public student who has studied classics..."
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Fan, Shen Pei, and Wang Xiu all raised their eyebrows, while the others also gave this man a general look... No matter what, educated people these days are always respected.
, especially this person seems to be very powerful, and he can be considered to be both civil and military.
After Liu Bei said this, the underage Shi Lu finally had the courage to come over and bow down and sit down. Then, the only leader left had no choice but to come.
"Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe of Zhuoxian County," the man said with a careless hand, more relaxed than the two before. "My family is poor and I have no famous teachers. I just barely know a few words... Your Majesty, don't worry about me.
"
Gongsun Xun listened carefully and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh... I'm afraid this person in front of him is really a big fish! However, since the other party is so arrogant, I'm afraid he may not be able to recruit him.
As soon as he thought about this, Gongsun Xun turned around and looked at Liu Bei: "De Ran, A Bei... Brother Xuande!"
"Yes!" Liu Deran and Liu Bei quickly bowed to answer.
"I will go to Handan to serve as an official, and I can't stay too long. I came here specifically to find you two." Gongsun Xun said simply. "You two are already old, are you willing to go out with me to do this?"
What kind of things should I do? It would be better to practice in the officialdom than to sit idle at home?"
"Senior brother is your elder, and now you are also your respecter. How dare you disobey your elders when called upon by your elders?!" Of course Liu Deran had nothing to say, and he couldn't even hide his joy.
"Just as Deran said," Liu Bei also leaned over to express his thanks again, but he was inevitably a little disappointed. "My brother is so kind, how can I dare to refuse? It's just that my mother's death has not been over, so there is no reason to abandon the family and leave?"
This is quite expected.
In fact, Liu Bei's family members are all in obvious decline, and now he is the only one in his family. It has reached a point where there is no way out... Why he became a ranger? On the one hand, it is certainly the martial culture of the land of Yanzhao, but on the other hand,
On the other hand, isn't the ranger a teenager with no future, a 'profession' that young people have no choice but to do? Therefore, when Gongsun Xun came to summon him, the 'Emperor Zhaolie' who had never seen the end of the Han Dynasty was actually very happy to follow him.
This senior brother who had always taken good care of him entered the house! Even if his mother was still alive, she was probably urging her son to follow this noble man with purple ribbon and gold seal.
However, he happened to be mourning his mother. Moreover, the paradox of the matter is... If Liu Bei had no chance to take the right path, then he was a down-and-out knight, and no one would care how long he had to mourn; but if he
If he is going to take Gongsun Xun's "broad road" to enter the officialdom, then Liu Xuande must be impeccable in the matter of his mother's mourning period.
In other words, he could only choose to give up this opportunity in public, and even Gongsun Xun could only accept the other party's rejection in public, and then he could not even keep any gifts... During the period of filial piety, in theory, material enjoyment should be avoided.
Sure enough, Gongsun Xun let out a long sigh and then replied seriously: "Xuan De's filial piety is obvious, how can I force others to do something difficult? But you and I have been close friends since we were young, so we don't need to care about the moment. When your mother's funeral is over, I will come to see you at any time." I am."
Liu Bei could only bend down under the big mulberry tree again and again and express his thanks.
"So what?" Just when everyone thought that the matter would end because of Liu Bei's filial piety, Gongsun Xun suddenly looked at Jian Yong and asked, "It's just that Shi Lu hasn't been crowned yet, since you two He is a close friend of Xuande, and he is a close friend of mine. I guess he is also talented and virtuous... It is rare to meet him. Will you come with me to Handan?"
Of course Liu Bei didn't react at all...it would be strange if he reacted! Jian Yong and Qian Zhao were both his friends, okay? He even had his career as a ranger leader interrupted by his mother's death, so how could he interfere with his two friends?
On the contrary, he became even more grateful to Gongsun Xun in his heart because of this.
You must know that when Liu Bei was in the Fengshi Mountain in Luozhong, he fought cocks and lackeys every day, causing trouble. That is to say, the people in front of him were willing to look after him, and then returned without success. When he returned home sadly, this person was the only one who specifically remembered him and gave him He left behind a lot of belongings...even though they were all scattered after he returned home.
When I was young at that time, I just took it for granted, but now it seems that it is a great kindness!
Even Liu Bei had some vague suspicions similar to others, that is, they both lost their parents when they were young and were raised by widowed mothers, so they couldn't help but feel sympathy for each other!
However, as we all share the same pain, the other person now has a purple ribbon and gold seal, a title, and a shining body. However, he is still down and out, and even the only mother he can rely on is gone.
"Zijing, Xianhe!" Seeing that his two friends were a little uneasy, not knowing whether he wanted to refuse or was embarrassed to agree directly, Liu Bei tried his best to put his thoughts aside and spoke to the two of them seriously. "This brother of mine is extraordinary. "Characters, you two don't have to be constrained or hesitant, you might as well..."
"Xuande!" Jian Yong suddenly twisted his body when he heard this and said calmly. "Why don't you let Zi Jing go first? I will accompany you here. If you want to look for this prince again in the future, I will Just go with you..."
Qianzhao's face turned red immediately, as if he had been told what he meant, but he also felt that going alone would seem a bit utilitarian.
"What's the point of this?" Gongsun Xun certainly didn't want to abandon Jian Yong, so he immediately asked seriously. "Does Xianhe have any explanation for such an arrangement?"
"Returning to the king." Jian Yong also rarely became serious. "Yong is indeed not teasing casually, but has heard and thought..."
"Xianhe, please speak."
"Jun Hou, when you first met Zijing and I, you only invited me because of our friendship with Xuande, but didn't you care about the displeasure of so many knights behind you?"
Gongsun Xun also laughed and shook his head: "How can I not see it? But Xianhe doesn't know that I know Xuande very well. How could his friend who killed him be an incompetent person? You two come to me, It must be the first thing you win, and then you stand out... In that case, why should you care about the temporary looks of your colleagues? They will definitely be convinced by you two in the future."
At this point, not to mention how Jian Yong reacted, Gongsun Xun was shocked in his heart... Yes, since this Qianzhao is a person Liu Bei values so much, how could he be a waste? Is it just bad luck? He died long ago, or was buried for some other reason?
In this case, I really shouldn't have looked down on others just now, even in my heart.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Jian Yong still ignored all the complicated glances around him and just talked eloquently under the mulberry tree. "To be honest, among the two of us, Zizi is both talented in literature and martial arts, and has extraordinary spirit. He and Xuande have always been the best.
They are recognized as the two most outstanding young rangers in Anping and Zhuojun. Since such characters decide to take the right path, the sooner the better. That is what Junhou said, they will definitely stand out.
Such a model..."
Gongsun Xun lowered his head and smiled, surrounded by Lu Fan, Shen Pei, Lou Gui and others who also had their mouths curled up slightly... They couldn't see it yet, but this Jian Yong had seen through Lian Zhao's thoughts and discovered that surrounding Yi Cong
They were dissatisfied, so they specially grabbed Gongsun Xun and praised Qianzhao, so as to gain a head start.
Of course, judging from this alone, this Jian Yong is probably also an outstanding person, at least an excellent eloquent person, because he can not only observe words and emotions, but also grasp the key points of things and characters... For someone of this age
For a down-and-out scholar, this is indeed pretty good.
"However, I am just a rude madman." Seeing the reactions of the people in front of him, Jian Yong understood in his heart, and he acted decisively. "I know how to fence, but I can only defeat Xuande and Zi Jing within ten moves;
I read a little bit, but I just chatted with people and had no involvement in the major principles of Confucian classics. More importantly, I am extremely crazy about etiquette... Therefore, if I really go to Junhou, I will not only be afraid of
I'm afraid I'm a little depressed if I missed the official business of Junhou!"
After saying that, Jian Yong leaned over and gave a big thanks: "Therefore, I am deeply grateful for your kindness, but I also ask you to take care of and use Zi Jing. I am really used to being idle and do not want to travel far, and Zi Jing is
What a great talent.”
"I understand." Seeing that the other party was so frank, Gongsun Xun was unwilling to force the issue. He just turned to look at Lianzhao. "This Lianzi Jing... Xuande and Xianhe's good intentions come to mind.
You also feel it, how about it, are you willing to come to my righteous service and be an awl who stands out?"
Qianzhao sighed and immediately leaned over: "As you said, I know the thoughts of these two close friends very clearly. If I can't recruit talents, I was originally driven by you, and I will definitely not let down my two close friends in the future."
A lot of hard work!"
"That being the case, I'll give you a white horse and a good sword, so you can take care of yourself!" Gongsun Xun simply responded.
Immediately, someone came with a sword and a horse. It was the leader of the team sent by Aunt Gongsun to Liaodong that day, named Yang Kai, a standard border county orphan.
Qianzhao first greeted Gongsun Xun with a big gift, and then bowed to Liu Bei and Jian Yong. Then he actually stood up and bowed to Yang Kai, then led the horse with a sword, left his stunned little brother Shi Lu, and went directly to Yi Zhong.
They lined up and left... But everyone from Gongsun Xun down to the Yi Cong looked at this person highly.
"Since the matter here is over," Liu Deran, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, suddenly said, "Why don't you invite Junhou and Senior Brother Ziheng to sit at my house for a while, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord?
?”
"No need." Gongsun Xun saw that there was no nostalgia here, so he stood up suddenly. "Deran, your father is an elder, so Zi Heng and I will naturally go to visit and salute... But it's still early, so we can leave as soon as possible.
If you have to drive a little further, you won’t have to stop after seeing your father! Handan is still ahead!"
Everyone did not dare to say anything, so they all stood up and said hello.
On that day, Liu Bei was in mourning and could not travel far, so he asked Jian Yong and Shi Lu to lead some rangers to see him off. They kept seeing him off for two or three days and traveled hundreds of miles to send Gongsun Xun out of Zhuojun and into Jizhou.
, and then returned to report... In this way, there is no need to say more.
After bidding farewell to Liu Bei and leaving Youzhou and entering Jizhou, Gongsun Xun was even more speedy. He only stopped for a moment at Zhongshan Wuji to visit the Zhen family... However, only then did he know that Zhen Yi and himself
He was also ordered to be a county magistrate and was traveling in officialdom in Henan.
Of course, since pregnant women with babies are not suitable for traveling far away these days, just like Gongsun Xun left Bian Yu in Liaodong, Zhen Yi's wife actually stayed here with several young daughters.
Because of his friendship with his wife, he did not hesitate to come out and entertain her at this time.
What is worth mentioning here is that, not to mention that Zhen Jiang Weiwei had grown up that day, what Gongsun Xun particularly admired was that this senior brother Zhen Yizhen actually had another infant daughter, and he was born to his first wife...
However, she is still not called Zhen Mi, but Zhen Tuo!
Regarding this, Gongsun Xun could only sigh with emotion and set off again.
And going forward from Wuji, which is located at the southernmost point of Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom and Handan are actually not far away.
By the way, Handan is located at the southernmost tip of the Zhao Kingdom, and is actually only fifty miles apart from Yecheng, the capital of Wei County... In fact, if you add in the Daming Prefecture that appeared later, it will be a pattern of three capitals coexisting within a hundred miles.
In other words, although they belong to Zhao State and Wei County respectively, Handan and Yecheng together constitute the core urban agglomeration of the entire Hebei Province. This place has a developed economy, fertile land, and the Zhang River and Fuyang River serve as water transportation channels, extending in all directions.
, a lush scene.
From this point of view, Teacher Lu took great pains to arrange Gongsun Xun to serve in Handan, Zhao State... Zhao State is too small, with one-third of the population in Handan. From an administrative point of view, it is not easy for him to put Gongsun Xun here.
Flowers come out; and Yecheng, where the governor of Jizhou is located, is dozens of miles away, so it is convenient for him to be watched over; at the same time, Handan City is really rich, so if he is still here, he can barely explain it!
if not?
You know, the two most famous specialties of Zhao State these days are the witch from Xiang State and the dancer from Handan... both are beauties! What else do you want?!
Just like this, when the spring was about to fade, the sun rose in the southeast, and there was a scene outside Handan City that was completely different from that in Liaodong.
On one side, there are farmers cultivating firewood and mulberry trees, and on the other side, there are businesses and travelers, and there are also dignitaries walking on the road, and enchanting women picking mulberry trees on the countryside roads.
It's really fascinating.
And at this time, a young noble man, with his carriage and horses in a whirlwind, was riding in a particularly majestic bus and drove out from the south gate of Handan City, and then went along Tianmo to persuade Sang!
As for why we encourage mulberry trees instead of farmers, who asked the mulberry pickers to be the world-famous beauties of the Zhao state? And who can say that mulberry pickers are not farming?
It's fair and aboveboard!
"Young Master, the city of Handan is ahead!" At the same time, in the east of the city, Lou Gui, who was stationed on his horse and twisting his beard, still used his accustomed name. "The city is looming, do you have any plans?"
"What plan can there be?" Gongsun Xun was riding on the horse, looking at the city and smiling. "According to what I learned along the way, the Prime Minister of Zhao is actually Xiang Xu who recited the Sutra of Filial Piety in front of the solar eclipse. Wouldn't it be wonderful for such a waste to be the Prime Minister?
"
"But County Magistrate Bairen also said it." The judge on the side suddenly sneered. "The Prime Minister was lying in bed all day long, so the county magistrate Li Sheng went to curry favor with King Zhao's Langzhong Ling Zhao Ping... This Zhao Ping is the Zhongchang Attendant.
As a member of Zhao Zhong’s clan, the political affairs of a country are actually controlled by a eunuch’s son! This is really unreasonable!”
In other words, under the Han system, the prefectures and states were juxtaposed. The prefect was in charge of the prefecture, and the prime minister was in charge of the country. The two were actually interconnected. But as I just said, the prime minister of Zhao was actually the one Gongsun Xun had met before.
A god-like nerd, or a lunatic... But no matter what, people say that this guy just lies in bed and reads all day long and doesn't care about anything at all.
In addition, these are not troubled times, so there are no captains in the country; and according to the Han system, the state fu is a false position; as for the King of Zhao himself, it would be good if the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty were not troubled by the prime minister, not to mention
Is it a remote branch passed down by Emperor Guangwu's uncle like King Zhao?
Therefore, there is no one in charge of the affairs of Zhao Guozhong today!
However, among the thousands of rocks further down, just as Shen Pei said, there was a relative of Gongsun Xun who was arrogant and arrogant.
In theory, Lang Zhongling is an official subordinate to the king, but because this position is responsible for managing the treasury of the princes and kings, it is recognized as a plum job... In fact, this position seems to be specially created for the children of incompetent eunuchs.
!In the six kingdoms of Jizhou, every lieutenant of the princes and kings is inseparable from the eunuch's children.
And Handan, where King Zhao lives, is one of the best places in the world, so the members of the Zhao Zhong clan, who were already causing trouble in Jizhou, would not let go of this position.
Of course, now that Gongsun Xun is here, the Handan Order of Thousand Stones, and the Wuwu Tinghou with the purple ribbon and gold seal... He wants to see if his relative will give him face?
"Okay," Gongsun Xun glanced at the people who were peeking at him, and said casually, "What about the Zhao clan? Just let me live in peace, and I will naturally give my wife a little favor... If you dare to jump around
Hey, just kill him!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, whether Gongsun Xun expressed his stance was important to them.
"But due south," Gongsun Xun suddenly said seriously again. "You are from Weijun. Since you have come to Handan, Weijun is right in front of you. Why don't you go and take a look at your home?"
The judge hesitated for a moment: "To be honest with you, it has been several years since I followed Mr. Chen into Luo that day. I really feel homesick!"
"Go now," Gongsun Xun warned. "I'm a local official, so I can't leave, otherwise I have to pay a visit to your elders. And Zhengnan, when you come back, you might as well inquire about someone for me..."
"Your Majesty, just speak frankly." Shen Pei agreed and was quite confident at the same time. "There is no one in Wei County that I don't know!"
"I heard that in Guangping, a few dozen miles southeast of Handan, there was a Duke of Jushou and..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Shen Pei immediately agreed. "How can I not know Duke Ju and me? Forgive me for being homesick, but if I leave now, I can try my best to find out about Duke Ju and the situation at this time for Your Majesty...
"
Gongsun Xun immediately nodded, and then watched Shen Pei lead a few attendants and turn away.
"Young Master is really thirsty for talents." Lou Gui couldn't help laughing when he saw this. "Previously in Xiangguo, I asked Zi Heng to go to Julu to find Tian Feng. Now Shen Zhengnan has to find something for Young Master when he returns home to visit relatives.
Duke Ju and..."
"You go too!" Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted. "Go with Yi Gong."
"This?" Lou Gui and Han Dang looked at each other in astonishment. "We don't recognize any celebrities from Hebei..."
"You two are also going to Julu." Gongsun Xun said seriously. "Inspect Taiping Road Zhangjiao for me... Bring enough manpower and investigate carefully!"
Lou Gui and Han Dang were still puzzled, and the latter quickly raised his hands and asked: "Young Master, how do you investigate?"
"Investigate as if you were spying on the enemy." Gongsun Xun responded seriously. "We can start with the former Wang Xian of the Wang family in Taiyuan. I heard that he is now quite trusted by Zhang Jiao in Julu!"
Lou Gui and Han Dang both looked surprised.
"But Young Master, we are all gone, what about Xiang Xu and Zhao Ping?" Han Dang was still hesitant.
"I can handle it myself!" Gongsun Xun was confident. "He's just a trash, a bastard... Why do you need to be around?"
The two immediately bowed their heads.
………………
"That mulberry-picking girl over there!" Zhao Ping, who came out to 'persuad mulberry trees' on a routine basis, did not notice the approaching danger at all. On the contrary, at this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he even felt that his whole life was lit up.
I saw him hastily asking people to stop the ceremonial carriage and horse, and then he held the eaves of the car on the road and asked in surprise, "What is the name of the girl picking mulberry over there, the one with the Japanese bun?"
The beautiful mulberry-picking woman who was summoned had no choice but to carry the mulberry-picking basket to the street, bending slightly to answer: "Reporting to your noble lord, the little girl is from the southeast of the city..."
"Ask what your name is!" Zhao Ping interrupted the other party happily. "What is the girl's name... Just tell me this!"
"Little girl Qin Luofu." At this point, the mulberry picking girl could only give up her fantasy and answer calmly with her head held high.
——————I am the dividing line 2 of picking mulberry——————
"The sun rises in the southeast corner and shines on my Qin family building. The Qin family has a good daughter, and she names herself Luofu. Luofu likes to raise silkworms and pick mulberry in the south corner of the city. The green silk is used as a cage tie, and the osmanthus branches are used as cage hooks. On the head, the bonobo falls.
Bun, bright moon beads in the ears. Xiangqi is the lower skirt, and purple qi is the upper jacket. The walker sees Luofu, and carries his mustache. The young man sees Luofu, takes off his hat and wears a bow. The plowman forgets his plow, and the hoeer forgets his plow.
Hoe. Come and return with each other angry, but sit and watch Luofu." - "Mo Shang Sang". Han Dynasty. Yuefu
PS: Qin Luofu is from Handan, and he should be from this period... I didn’t expect it!
