In the evening, Gongsun Xun originally held a volume of "Book of Changes" and studied the stars above his head to see if he could find any signs of "demon stars in troubled times", but Luoyang was really much better than that ghost place in western Liaoning, let alone The population, economy, and even the climate are all like this, with gusts of wind blowing, making people want to fall asleep.
In fact, Gongsun Xun originally wanted to hold on for a while, but suddenly he heard shouting and yelling outside the door again, which made people upset. After all, he had no choice but to return to the backyard to rest.
I can only say that fortunately, when I first bought this house, I bought it in the largest place at the foot of Fengshi Mountain. The place is wide enough, and the backyard can be quieter anyway.
A night of silence, a few days of nothing... there is really nothing to do.
According to his wife's arrangement, Gongsun Xun should 'work hard to reach out to the princes, so that he can survive the troubled times'. In other words, he should make friends with various big shots, and then use these connections to survive the crisis. Troubled times.
Therefore, as soon as he settled here in Fengshi Mountain, Gongsun Xun specially sent people to Luoyang to find out information about various big shots.
The first is of course the news about Cao Mengde. The result is very simple. Cao Cao, who had been in Luoyang, suddenly left at the end of last year and is now working as an official in another place.
Why is this happening?
The specific reason is actually because of something that has gone down in history - last year, probably at the same time that his brother Gongsun Zan started the life cheat, this "married woman Cao" was also appointed as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang and was responsible for the security of Luoyang North City. .Then, Cao Mengde did exactly what his mother said, he raised a five-color stick and forcibly killed a man named Jian Tu who had violated the curfew.
And this Jian Tu was none other than the uncle who legitimately doted on the eunuch Jian Shuo.
I must say one more thing here, the so-called comparison between people is irritating, and the gap between the size of the backstage is undoubtedly evident here.
Cao Mengde publicly killed the emperor's trusted eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle with a cane. Nothing happened. Instead, the eunuchs pinched his nose and was promoted. He was sent to Dunqiuling, a thousand-stone-level high position, like the god of plague. That's it, Cao Cao I had to go through all kinds of suspicions before I took office.
As for Gongsun Xun and his party, they secretly killed a nephew of Zhao Zhong who was not sure whether he was in the fifth service. They were still frightened all the way, and they didn't feel relieved until they arrived in Henan.
This comparison is really embarrassing.
However, compared with another big shot who is not currently in Luoyang, it is not a matter of cowardice.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the bastard of the fourth generation and the third prince, are not in Luoyang at present, but are also working as officials outside. But the officials he held... Four years ago, when he was just eighteen years old, he was directly worshiped as an official as soon as he became an official. Lang, that is, the third minister that Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Zan were pursuing. Then the year before last, in the second year of Xiping (173), he made an exception and was worshiped as the chief of Puyang without being crowned before he was twenty years old. This was considered a typical example of the imperial court. Official appointed.
Of course, given your family background, being an official is purely for the sake of going through the process. When the time comes, the position will naturally be given to you.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not here. As for the other big guys, such as Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yu, of course some of them are in Luoyang. For example, Liu Biao and Liu Yan are both here, but the problem is that these two have been famous for a long time. Big boss, you, a scholar from a border county, can’t even reach it?
Of course, Gongsun Xun also felt a little bit uninterested in these two people. One was Jingzhou and the other was Yizhou. Unless they failed and left, they would be completely out of reach.
And Yuan Shu... is not just a matter of geography, because according to Aunt Gongsun, the place in Hebei should be Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao in that order. Not only was Yuan Shu defeated too early, but he also had a very bad relationship with Yuan Shao. What if?
What should I do if I get too close to Yuan Shu and will be regarded as an enemy by Yuan Shao?
There is also Han Sui... I heard about this accidentally. He was promoted as Xiaolian and is serving as the third official in Luoyang. This person's status is not very high, and he is from the border county, so he probably has something in common.
, but you can go over and hold hands at any time, shake hands and have a good time.
But Han Sui, what should I say? A future boss of Xiliang... Gongsun Xun's family is in western Liaoning. Is there any use in dating such a person? It's better to go to Liu Biao!
Ever since, Gongsun Xun was really free, and he just lived the life of a free-range college student without going to class every day, but he didn't play games at all.
In Liu Bei's words, Brother Xun's life was boring, boring and tasteless.
It is precisely because of this that these people always want to drag Gongsun Xun into trouble!
"Brother Xun, brother Xun!" That afternoon, Gongsun Xun was studying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, and Liu Bei ran over like a rabbit again. "Something happened, something happened, you must help us this time!"
"
Gongsun Xun coughed violently, then turned over and pretended not to hear.
"Brother, I am really not looking for you to have fun this time, but I have serious business. Brother Bogui asked me to call you to discuss it." Seeing the other party's reaction, Liu Bei quickly explained his purpose.
"What's the specific matter?" Gongsun Xun sat up angrily.
"It's about racing." Liu Bei replied grandly.
Gongsun Xun turned over and continued to lie down and touch his bamboo slips.
"Something happened to the racing car!" Liu Bei patted his mouth and then explained the matter clearly. "We were tricked by the locals about the racing car. Everyone doesn't know what to do. I want to ask you to go out and come out."
Idea. Go quickly. From Brother Bogui down, everyone is waiting at the restaurant opposite..."
At this moment, Gongsun Xun had no choice but to get up again and follow this gangster version of the 'Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty' - it was really hopeless. You can hide in games, but you can't hide in a fight no matter what.
In fact, as Liu Bei said, the restaurant that was regarded as the base of this group of Hebei scholars was full of people, and all of them had livid faces and overflowing with anger. Even Zhen Yi, who was as boring as himself, came
.
There were many people talking, and Gongsun Xun sat down and took a lot of effort to understand what was going on.
It turns out that we have to start from the beginning, when this group of people arrived here in winter.
It is said that wherever there are people, there will be disputes. In these days, Aunt Gongsun made it very clear that no one can control the conflicts caused by a region and an origin. So it is natural, as everyone can think
As you can see, disputes will naturally arise up and down the Fengshi Mountain due to these contradictions.
Specifically, it is like this. Before this, the people from Hebei in Fengshi Mountain were insignificant. At the very least, the conflicts between young people were mainly between the children of high-ranking officials who came to Lu Zhi to study and the local children from Fengshi County.
However, when the Gongsun brothers and their entourage arrived, the situation quickly changed.
Gongsun Xun is rich, and he is really willing to spend money under the indulgence of Gongsun Auntie; Zhen Yi has a biological uncle who is serving as Jinwu in Luoyang City; Gongsun Zan has a dignified appearance and has that kind of natural leadership ability; just Even Liu Bei is someone who can stir up trouble... Not to mention that among these scholars from Hebei, the dozen or so border commanders are good at fighting, and the dozen or so Jizhou scholars are eloquent, so to speak. In less than two months, these Hebei guys have become a well-known and dynamic social group in Fengshi Mountain.
And if this is the case, it is natural that they will be targeted... This time the car race is a game against people from Hebei.
"You can't outrun us in horse racing, you can't outrun us in playing with cattails, you beat us once and we pushed you to the ground. I thought this race would be your last. Who would have thought that there is such a trick waiting for us?" Liu Bei chirped. , as if he was the one who won the horse race, and he was also the one who beat people up.
"So, the local ranger leader who organized the competition has long been bribed by these local scholars, and then we will lose every time we race, so that we lose face in front of everyone several times in a row?" Gongsun Xun asked helplessly. ."Are you sure that the other party cheated?"
"That's what happened." Gongsun Zan replied angrily. "The ranger leader of Yushi County named Yuanzhong himself admitted that the riders are all his, and he can win whoever he wants."
"Let's not talk about this, what's wrong with my brother's voice?" Gongsun Xun was confused.
"Brother Bogui got angry because of this, and his throat hurts badly." Liu Bei added from the side. "We really have nothing to do with each other."
"What's wrong with this?" Gongsun Xun was speechless. "Haven't you all had a fight before? Every wrong has its owner, so just find another group of people to fight with! If you feel that just beating people can't relieve your anger, then this This time, we blocked the local Gou family garbage on the back mountain, stripped off our clothes, hung them from a tree and beat them! Many of us have even killed Xianbei people, how can we still be afraid of these scum?"
"It's not the problem of those scumbags." Gongsun Zan explained in a suppressed voice. "You can fight those bastards whenever you want. You don't even have to choose a day... The key is that we can't do anything with that ranger leader, otherwise I wouldn't know how to do it." It’s so urgent.”
"Why is this happening?" Gongsun Xun didn't react for a while.
"After all, this place is at the feet of the emperor." Zhen Yi, who had not spoken yet, explained sharply. "And this ranger leader called the original species is not only a rogue, but his status is also too low."
Gongsun Xun suddenly realized.
That's right, under the emperor's feet, you naturally cannot commit too vicious cases. The bloody political struggles of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years were all caused by a Luoyang jailer launching a surprise attack with a criminal case. In other words, People like you can kill people and exterminate their clans in open fire in Liaoxi, and you can make masked raids in Hebei and seize people's heads, but who dares to kill people here? If you cripple this guy, he will probably become a wanted criminal, right? You let your guests kill people. Then maybe you will meet a master of solving crimes and get a special order, and then he will arrest you, right?
As for giving him a simple lesson? Didn’t he say that this kind of guy is a scoundrel? A simple lesson might be useless.
And the key problem is that the identity gap between the two sides is so big. If you are too serious, you will be laughed at. You can grudge or even fight with the local scholars time and time again, but staring at a ranger leader, what does that mean? It can even be an insult. Your head will also be looked down upon!
But if you ignore it, how can you swallow this breath... Maybe that's what those locals had in mind!
"You can't be cruel directly, and it's useless to teach you a lesson," Gongsun Xun tried to sum up. "It's too irritating to leave it alone, but it will be embarrassing for us if it is too serious or the methods are too dirty. Therefore, we must use a method as soon as possible. Give him a result in a very clever way?"
"That's right, I just came to discuss it with you." Gongsun Zan took the words in a low voice. "How about it? Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes." Gongsun Xun didn't even blink. "This is a simple matter... but you all need to promise me that once this matter is over, you will go back to the mountain to study hard."
"Yuan Shao was born alone and grew up as a man. He has a good appearance and dignified manners, which can be imitated. The weak crown is restored to a long one, and he has a clear and capable reputation." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty", written by Wang Can.
