"Abei wants to go with us?" Three days later in the evening, at the border between Zhao and Julu County, Gongsun Xun seemed to have gotten to know someone again. "This is killing!"
"I also have a sword!" Liu Bei's pretty face was completely red at this moment, and his hands holding the exquisite sword given by Gongsun Xun were trembling slightly.
"This is a son of an eunuch, and his uncle's power is overwhelming. If something goes wrong, he will have to flee outside the Great Wall." Gongsun Xun continued to threaten. "A few days ago, it wasn't you who shouted that you wanted to escape from Litao City.
?"
"This moment is the same as that moment." Liu Bei gritted his teeth and replied. "At that time, I thought that all the brothers wanted to retreat. I was the only one who yelled to run away first, which would save some face for the brothers. Now I know what you brothers are going to do.
It’s such a big deal, so how can I bring shame on everyone?”
There were many people around who were arranging their horses and weapons, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard this:
"So Abe, you shouted to run away that day just to save face for us?"
"Pull out the sword and see if you are as tall as that sword?"
"A Bei, we have to cover our faces when we go to kill this time. Don't think about making a name for yourself like 'Liu Bei of Zhuojun killed someone for his friend when he was fifteen years old'... Last year, the one who killed someone for his teacher when he was fifteen years old..."
Who is coming?"
"Xiahoudun!" Someone suddenly said a name that shocked Gongsun Xun. "It's Xiahoudun from Peiguoqiao County. I once heard visitors at home talk about him, saying that someone insulted his teacher. He was only ten years old at the time.
He was four or five years old, but he killed the opponent directly. He was called 'strong' and became famous all over the world."
Listening to these fellow disciples talking here and there, only seeing themselves as a joke, Liu Bei became more and more impatient, but he had no choice but to look around for help with his eyes.
"It's better to let him go!" At this moment, Gongsun Zan suddenly interrupted. "Although Abe is young, he always has courage. He is worse than those useless nerds. When he heard that we were going to kill people, he I was so scared that I couldn’t even speak…”
Bookworms may not be useless these days! Gongsun Xun thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it in his mouth at all: "It doesn't matter, for such a big event, more people may not be useful, what is needed is a real hero... As for A Bei, his courage is commendable,
But the figure is too obvious. If I take him there, I'm afraid people will remember him and think it was us."
These words almost sealed Liu Bei's path to the past, but the boy's reaction was very interesting, and he was obviously a little relieved despite being disappointed. It was obvious that although he seemed heroic before, he also seemed to be trying to hold on.
Of course, after this incident, both Gongsun Xun and others all looked at him differently. In any case, this naughty kid still had a lot of courage and ambition.
"Are you all ready?" Gongsun Zan nodded, then walked around with the knife in hand, and began to check the clothing, bows and horses and other things for the dozen or so nobles who came here, and loudly encouraged and comforted them. "Don't worry, everyone.
We had deployed manpower at Julu before we left. We were lucky. The man surnamed Zhao had been living in a manor outside the city since yesterday, which saved trouble. Moreover, there were only seven or eight ranger guests following him, so
They are all fake tactics that only know how to fight bravely without going through a real battle. When we get there, we don't care about them, just sweep in quickly with the 351 team, just cut off the head of the surnamed Zhao, and set a fire
Just come back! When the time comes, come back here and throw your head on the ground. Not only will it make Brother Dayin feel bad, but it will also let those fellow disciples in Jizhou know what we are capable of!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the experienced border guests in the distance, but also the scholars from the border counties all became excited.
"Do you know what I am doing by keeping you here?" On the other side, Gongsun Xun was also explaining something to Gongsun Yue and Liu Bei.
"First of all, I want the young people among the intimate guests to wear your brocade clothes later, and deliberately drink and make noise in front of the villagers here, making it look like everyone is there;" Gongsun Yue answered while taking a look at it with his eyes.
Liu Bei stood aside. "Secondly, we want to... we want to keep an eye on those fellow disciples who don't have the guts to participate. From Brother Zhen Yi down, no one is allowed to step out of the station!"
"What if they want to leave by force?" Gongsun Xun asked coldly.
"Let someone tie them up!" Gongsun Yue didn't even blink.
"That's right." Gongsun Xun nodded appreciatively, and then suddenly smiled at Liu Bei beside him. "A Bei, your elder brother Gongsun and I will go get a head. You can follow Brother Zhen Yi and the others here.
Wait, don’t move! Do you understand?”
Liu Bei swallowed his saliva and bowed down.
By the way, it was rare for the convoy to stay in a post house in a remote area. The two sunny houses in the middle could barely allow the scholars to sleep in a clean bunk bed; the maids had to live in the shady and trendy houses in the yard and surrounding areas.
, so that he can boil water, cook, clean and so on for his master; as for the chief of the pavilion, Qiu Pi, the father of the pavilion and several pavilion soldiers were all kicked out, and they ran outside with the guests in the motorcade and their entourage.
Went camping.
And as if to escape such harsh conditions, as the sky darkened, a group of pampered aristocratic children did not rest, but went directly to the courtyard to drink and have fun, barbecue and gamble. Seeing those young nobles in golden clothes with northern accents drinking and drinking among each other, they even
The door was not closed, and it seemed that they were ready to light torches and precious candles and have fun all night long. This undoubtedly made the people nearby, as well as the pavilion chiefs and pavilion guards envious.
However, in the middle of these lively scenes, the real aristocratic children all had ugly expressions, as if their fathers were dead... The maid poured the wine and cut the meat and brought it to the table, but this group of people
Don't even look at it.
"Of the twenty-seven disciples on this trip, thirteen of them went in total!" someone said, holding up a wine glass and covering his face. "Except for one Gongsun Yue from the border counties, all of them seemed to have gone, and those from Zhuo County also went.
Two, Liu Bei wanted to go because he was kicked back because he was young, and my son from Jizhou also went to Han Rui from Anping Kingdom..."
"Gongsun Yue won't go anywhere. This guy is clearly here to look after us." Another person couldn't help but interrupt. "Those two bastards Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Xun are so contemptuous. They actually thought we would go."
Report to the official?"
"Since we won't go to this important matter of life and death, people will naturally become suspicious."
"It sounds like you want to go too?"
"As the sons of scholars of my generation, it is the right thing to kill the eunuchs' sons, not to mention that there is a reason..."
"Then why don't you go?"
"Most of my fellow Jizhou disciples didn't go, so how could I abandon them all?"
"Then why did Han Rui go again?"
"I said it myself, I am heartbroken by the courage of Brother Gongsun!"
"You just want to say that we Jizhou people are courageous, right?"
"Okay!" Zhen Yi, who had always been expressionless, suddenly put down his wine glass. "When things have reached this point, what is there to argue about?"
Everyone was immediately in awe, and the few quarrels settled down... No matter what, family background, age, status, position, knowledge, in short, in all aspects, this Zhen Yi Zhen Dayin is the well-deserved leader of the scholars in Jizhou on this trip.
Of course everyone is willing to respect him.
In fact, the main theme along the way was that Zhen Dayin led the scholars from Jizhou, and Gongsun Bogui led the children from the border counties of Youzhou. The two groups were fighting each other, and then a few children from poor families in Zhuojun followed suit.
"Let me say something first... don't say that you must never do anything about reporting to the official position. You are not allowed to even mention it!" Zhen Dayin's expression was serious, as if he meant it. "Don't forget, after all, people are doing it because of me, Zhen Yi.
After being humiliated, I went to kill people. I am working hard at the front, but I am still muttering behind, so how can I, Zhen Yi, have any face to live as a human being?! Let alone report to the official... What I am going to say here today, who will do it again?
If you dare to mention an official word, Gongsun Yue, who is guarding the door, will not take action. Whoever is the guest of my house will be cooked first and buried in this pavilion to make flower fertilizer for the plum blossom in the corner! Everyone, the eunuchs are tyrannical. At first, I
I really don’t want to cause trouble, but since we can no longer stop them, we can only recognize them by holding our noses, and then try our best to help!”
"Since we want to do our best to help, why didn't brother let us go with them before?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you go?" Zhen Yi was helpless after hearing this. "Look at your arm...I asked you to hide their weapons before, but you couldn't even lift Gongsun Xun's point steel gun! I'm not mocking you.
You alone, I am mocking everyone including me... How can we, the scribes, do this kind of thing? Are we going to cause trouble? Even Han Shuo, if you listen to Gongsun Zan's arrangements, aren't you also asking him to do it?
Are you responsible for being a lookout? For this kind of thing, the more people the better, if there are really more than a dozen lookouts, it will be a disservice!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"But Brother Dayin, I have one more question." Suddenly, Liu Bei, who appeared out of nowhere, interrupted, almost frightening all the Jizhou scholars.
"Say." Zhen Yi became happy at this time.
"Brother Dayin, the thing is like this." Liu Bei straightened up and asked seriously. "You see, even if you are sure about this murder, it is still extremely risky..."
"It's natural." Zhen Yi couldn't help but look a little pale after hearing this. "Otherwise I wouldn't have urged you this afternoon."
"Besides, Brother Da Yin, you also said that this matter ultimately happened because of you."
"I never denied it."
"Moreover, the people who were killed this time were the sons of powerful eunuchs, so they had to cover their faces when killing people. Therefore, I'm afraid they won't be able to be famous afterward."
"This is also inevitable."
"In that case, why did the two Gongsun brothers do such a thankless thing?" Liu Bei asked extremely seriously.
After hearing this, all the scholars were hesitant for a moment... In other words, there are some things that everyone knows well, but it is difficult to put them on the table for discussion. That is, only a child like Liu Bei can ask such a careless question.
come out.
When the Gongsun brothers said they were going to kill someone in the afternoon, they kept talking about nonsense like how friends should be insulted and fraternity should not be taken lightly, and then they would naturally want to stab each other, but no one could refute it.
But in reality? In fact, we have only known each other for more than ten days, and we still have disputes every day. What kind of 'friends' are we? As for being in the same sect, to put it more harshly, we have not been influenced by Lu Zhi after all.
Officially included in the document and becoming an official 'classmate', it would be too early to talk about being in the same school at this time, right?
And in that case, Liu Bei asked this question very well... Why did the Gongsun brothers take such risks to do something that seems to be of no benefit?
Naturally, everyone instinctively turned their attention to Zhen Yi.
"Hey!" Zhen Yi let out a long sigh. "There are some things I didn't want to say more, but since you asked, I'll just speak up... This Gongsun brother is obviously trying to 'become a leader'!"
Out of position?
Many people were thoughtful, but many others looked confused.
"You guys, some people are too young and have too simple minds. They haven't experienced many things, so it's normal for them not to understand." Zhen Yi shook her head weakly. "But I, Gongsun Bogui and Gongsun Xun
It's different. The three of us have already served as officials in the county. We can talk and laugh even with two thousand stones. Naturally, we understand more principles... Let me ask you, Gongsun Bogui and I have been fighting since we started on the road.
What’s the picture?”
"Isn't it true that the scholars in Jizhou prefer literary style and the scholars in Bianjun prefer martial arts? Aren't they disliked by both sides?" someone asked cautiously.
"It's natural, but what happens next?" Zhen Yi continued to ask. "The scholars in Jizhou and the border counties don't like each other. Let me ask you, when we go to Luoyang, what will the local Luoyang scholars on Fengshi Mountain think about each other?
Will we people from Hebei be dissatisfied with it? Will the brothers who have studied for a year or two be dissatisfied with us who are new here?"
"Brother, what you mean is that you and Gongsun Bogui are vying to be the leader of our group?" Naturally, some smart people came to their senses. "When we arrive in Luoyang, we are naturally one body no matter what, so we must
First, separate the beginning and the end of the road?"
The people around him sighed after hearing this, and seemed to have reacted: "Yes, if this is done, then Brother Dayin will have received a great favor from others, and will never be able to raise his head in front of the two brothers again.
Already."
"More than that, we weak scholars from Jizhou cannot hold our heads up in front of their children from the border counties."
"Sure enough, those Youzhou guys are going to use this to determine priorities?!"
"Children can be taught!" Zhen Yi also nodded. "That's the truth."
"But..." Some people couldn't help but swallowed their saliva. "The truth is certainly this, but if you really succeed, it will only be the leader of more than 20 Hebei scholars. Is it really worth killing people for this?"
"Now we have to talk about 'getting out of position' again." Zhen Yi sighed. "You don't know that there are always such bold people in this world who like to make trouble over nothing! Think about it, is there always someone in the army who wants to
Jumping over the hierarchy to ask for a fight? Is there always someone in the officialdom who wants to usurp the rights of colleagues? Is there always someone in the scholarly community who wants to stir up trouble and attack others for no reason? These things may seem unworthy to ordinary people, but some people do it anyway.
!”
"Of course there are such people." Someone quickly replied. "But from what I've seen, most of them can't last long, right?"
"That's right, eight years old won't last long." Zhen Yi nodded repeatedly. "I helped take care of the family business since I was a child, and then went to work as an official in the county. Such people are not uncommon, but the result... nine times out of ten are everywhere.
They hit a wall, then lose all their edges and corners, and even get hurt by others, and finally collapse. However, there are still 10% or 20% of people who can always stand out and swim upstream... These are the so-called outstanding people! You too
They have all read history books. Think about the people in the books, are they all such outstanding people? The reason why these people are called outstanding people and can leave their names in history is because they can not only stand out, but also be able to stand out.
He can also do the job well, leaving people speechless and forced to obey!"
"Brother Dayin, what do you think about Brother Gongsun, 80% to 90%, or 10% to 20%?"
"If something is done, it will be 10% or 20%. If it is not done, it will be 80% or 90%!" Zhen Yi said angrily. "Anyway, we will know tomorrow at the latest. But now, we can only hope that they are just right."
It’s the 10% or 20% of outstanding people, otherwise everyone will be implicated.”
"But..." Liu Bei suddenly asked again. "Brother Dayin, if Brother Gongsun and the others are outstanding people, who are we?"
What a disgusting naughty kid! Zhen Yi glared at the other party coldly, then ignored him and stood up with a roar, making several guests of the Gongsun family sitting at the gate of the pavilion suddenly become nervous.
"Zhen Bao!" Zhen Yi ignored this and directly called his trusted family members by their names.
"Young Master!" The man called Zhen Bao quickly stood up.
"Go and tell the chief of the pavilion outside the door that the legitimate son of the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan is passing by here. He is lonely at night and has come to the countryside to find a little girl for me. If he is innocent and looks good, I can take him as my concubine!"
Zhen Bao was stunned.
"Go quickly!" Zhen Dayin glared angrily.
"Yes." Zhen Bao quickly bowed and went to choose a concubine for his master while the people in the courtyard were stunned.
"Me too!" After being stunned for a while, another person suddenly stood up and shouted. "Who, go and choose a concubine for me, Gongsun Zan of Western Liaoning, and do it quickly! It must be better than Brother Dayin's concubine.
It’s all about beauty!”
Only then did everyone realize that the night inside and outside the pavilion became particularly lively... As for the concubine that Gongsun Zan, the commander of the Western Liao Dynasty, had taken away, he was snatched away by Zhen Dayin from Wuji, Zhongshan, and then the whole scene started.
Needless to say, there is a lot of drama in the countryside pavilion.
Not to mention the turmoil of the night, in the early morning of the next day, Zhen Yi, who had something on her mind, was awakened by the movement outside the door. She quickly opened the door, only to see a familiar head placed under the threshold, and more than a dozen border county nobles
The disciples were standing in the courtyard laughing and chatting, but no one was hurt.
Zhen Yi sighed deeply in his heart, kicked the head away, and then stepped forward and bowed to the leaders Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Xun: "Your Excellency Kunzhong, Zhen Yi is deeply grateful. If I am asked to do anything in the future, I will never refuse."
!”
Gongsun Zan burst out laughing, while Gongsun Xun seemed to be laughing but not smiling.
After the killing, the convoy set off again, but it sped up a lot. However, on the 57th, it crossed Zhao State, crossed Wei County, and entered Hanoi County, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Si Li. Hanoi County has fifteen counties under its jurisdiction, and ten people with registered residences
80,000, with a population of nearly 800,000, and it is also at the foot of the emperor. Not to mention the characters and styles, the well-dressed scholars coming and going are already dizzying, which really makes these young scholars from the north very excited.
Vision.
However, everyone still didn't dare to stop too much. They just lowered their heads and hurried on. They didn't even dare to walk on the pontoon bridge in Mengjin. They just passed Pinggao all the way to Wushejin on the edge of the Yellow River, and then hired a brigade of ferries. Waiting for the entire convoy
They all got on the boat and headed straight to Luoyang on the other side of the river. Only then did everyone feel relieved!
The current of the Yellow River is turbulent, and many people couldn't help laughing loudly as soon as they boarded the ferry. This is understandable. After all, due to the level of communication these days, as long as you cross the Yellow River, you are basically on the Julu side.
The 'big things' you do are less likely to be found again.
Therefore, whether it is the children from the border counties who committed the crime with their own hands or the timid Jizhou scholars, they all naturally have a bit of a dissolute streak.
However, standing on a ferry boat that he owned exclusively, Gongsun Xun's behavior was a little different from his peers. He first looked at the river and sighed, then couldn't help but laugh loudly like the others, but in the end he shook his head again and again.
Han Dang behind him was puzzled. Ever since Feng Dashui followed this young gentleman, he had noticed a bit of his character. Although he was young, he acted very steadily and only acted when it was time to win.
He seems so unscrupulous... He's just crossing a river, so he shouldn't be so rude, right?
After thinking about this, Han Dang couldn't help but ask: "Is there something on your mind, Young Master?"
"I can't call it worrying," Gongsun Xun said, looking back at the north bank of the Yellow River behind him. "It's just a little emotion."
The other party didn't want to say anything, so Han Dang immediately stopped talking.
In fact, even if he is a close confidant, there are some things that Gongsun Xun would not be able to talk about.
By the way, for a long time, his mother, Gongsun Auntie, had always told him that the Han Dynasty was about to fall and troubled times were about to begin. In order to survive, we and I had to make preparations early. And as time gradually came, various things began to change.
Development and emergence are constantly verifying this statement. From his clan brother Gongsun Zan to Han Dang Cheng Pu to Liu Bei, from the development of Taiping Road to the unscrupulous eunuchs, everything is exactly the same as what Gongsun said... Gongsun can't help it.
I don’t believe it.
However, passive belief and active belief are completely different mentality. If you don’t see something with your own eyes or test it with your own hands, Gongsun Xun will always be unwilling to give up. Here is another sentence, to teach his son to be like this.
The person who has the bad problem with materialism is precisely the nagging Madam Gongsun.
Back to the present, it is true that as soon as Gongsun Xun left the border county, he witnessed the brutal annexation of the people by the bottom-level tyrants. Then he also met Taipingdao, who was powerful but fished in troubled waters, and got acquainted with a big man who had to live without food because of party strife.
Officials from the Mainland... But it may be because this kind of testimony came so quickly and directly that it gave Gongsun Xun a sense of coincidence and an unreal feeling.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to the team and heard about the arrogance of the eunuchs' children, he almost instinctively wanted to test why he didn't use the hands of his brother who had great luck to stab the world.
One knife, and then see with your own eyes the reaction of the world?
The nephew of the powerful Zhao Changshi was beheaded inexplicably in his own manor, and then even the place where he lived was burned down. Then the most representative force of the Han Dynasty, that is,
How much energy will bureaucrats unleash?
The answer is to search the whole city, investigate carefully, and then get confused.
Then, after a temporary setback, the county's criminal cao and the local magistrate abandoned their official positions and left before the court's wrath arrived, causing the entire investigation of the case to completely collapse. The real culprit and his party walked through the entire Zhao Kingdom in a swagger.
Weijun, the whole of Hanoi, and now we are about to reach Luoyang!
With a radius of thousands of miles, a population of tens of millions, millions of armors, and a heritage of nearly four hundred years, the Han Dynasty has even collapsed the important land of Hebei that relied on it. It is no wonder that there will be those things in the future.
But I don’t know why, after Gongsun Xun, who was about to arrive in Luoyang, got rid of the doubts in his heart, he felt a little bit more sad at this moment. Because, after all, he was born and raised here, and he still has to learn from this official.
Yu Si's big man. For his mother, it is not necessary to regard this era as his roots...but what about himself?
Just when Gongsun Xun was in a complicated mood, another burst of cheers suddenly came from the front. It was astonishing that the ship in front had docked. Gongsun Xun put away his unnecessary thoughts and looked at Luoyang on the south bank of the Yellow River, and his eyes gradually became firm again.
As the saying goes: I have been looking for a sword for eighteen years, and the leaves have fallen and branches have sprouted several times. Ever since I saw the peach blossom, I have no doubts about it until now.
