Chapter 15: Filial Piety and White Fat Crush the South Wind
Gongsun Xun only took one look and knew that Zhen Yi was basically dead.
When things have reached this stage, the scene of the boy's study tour is still vivid in his mind. The so-called former charm is now withered. Such a clear shape is right in front of him. How can he have any extra thoughts? Originally, he just wanted to take the opportunity to solve Gongsun Yue's marriage problem.
At this time, I sincerely wanted to take over the affairs for the other party.
In fact, after barely maintaining his posture, under the candlelight, Gongsun Xun stepped forward and held the opponent's skinny hand, and his tone became calmer: "Brother Da Yin, go away! The world is in chaos.
But as long as I'm here, your wife and children will be able to take care of you."
"That's exactly what I said." Zhen Yi obviously felt like she was having a flashback, and she was able to struggle to get up.
Seeing such a situation and hearing such a conversation, how could the Zhen family who were originally waiting under the couch not understand? Except for Mrs. Zhang who was originally waiting in front of the house, the rest of the family hurriedly went to invite the elders of the clan.
, and also brought all Zhen Yi's children and waited in the courtyard.
"I am a layman, and I was born rich, so I have no other wish to go here." Zhen Yi looked at Gongsun Xun and said with all her strength. "The only one I have is my wife, children, and this family fortune... If I entrust Wen
Qi, I wonder how Wen Qi wants to arrange it?"
Gongsun Xun held the other party's hand and promised, "My eldest son, Gongsun Ding, is willing to take Zhen's daughter as his wife."
"That's very good." Zhen Yi's eyes were even brighter. "But your children and I are both young, and the world is so chaotic. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Gongsun Xun wanted to speak but stopped.
"I know what Wen Qi is going to say." Zhen Yi actually had some strength in her hands at this time. "If my wife is allowed to remarry, I am willing, and her Changshan clan must also be willing. I am afraid that the people in my clan will also be willing."
It's a hindrance...but since Wen Qi is here, it won't be a hindrance this time."
"Is your wife willing?" Gongsun Xun turned around and glanced at Mrs. Zhang who was outside, and then couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't want Zhen Yi to have the idea of letting his wife remarry.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it is quite ordinary... Firstly, if Zhang Ju stays in the city and is wandering around, his thoughts are known to passers-by outside the city, not to mention the Zhen family? Secondly, this is also the case now.
Such is the custom.
For example, in history, Xun You and Zhong Yao once told fortunes together. The fortune teller said that Xun You would die early.
Remarry her immediately.
Later, Xun Gongda died early, and Zhong Yao actually used this sentence as a basis to ask for Xun You's funeral arrangements from the Xun clan, and while helping Xun Gongda take care of his affairs, he married off all the women in his house...
Everyone at that time praised the two of them for their true nature, and none of the Xun clan members were seen talking too much.
In the final analysis, this is because the concept of life and death in these days is particularly clear, and there is no situation in later generations where ethics and education are greater than human nature, that's all.
"My wife probably doesn't want to." Zhen Yi raised her eyes slightly and looked at the outside of the house where her wife was, but she said frankly. "But I have my last words, and she will definitely listen... So, I hope Wen Qi
Treat her well in the future."
"I already have a wife, how can I wrong your wife again?" Gongsun Xun learned a lot from the experience, so he decided to make the matter clear this time. "However, A Yue has not yet married because he has observed filial piety for three years, and is now in Hutuo, Hebei.
At the camp, I am guarding Sima. He is both your brother and our sect... Why don't you let him take care of your wife and children for you?"
"Ah Yue?" Zhen Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, and then nodded repeatedly. "Ah Yue is not bad, and it is also a good thing for my wife, but..."
"Your children will naturally grow up with the surname Zhen, and your family's property will naturally be divided among your two sons after they get married." Gongsun Xun quickly assured.
"That's not what you said." Zhen Yi shook her head with all her strength. "Why do you need to personally guarantee such things? I mean, if Ah Yue comes to marry my wife, then Zhang Chun..."
"There is no need to say more." Gongsun Xun held the opponent's hand and said, "Now that I'm here, how can I not take care of Zhang Chun?"
"That's good, that's good..." Zhen Yi said slowly. "Well, Wen Qi, please go out. I have something to talk to my wife and the elders of the clan."
Gongsun Xun sighed and pulled away. Mrs. Zhang, who had already listened to the conversation between the two, also had tears in her eyes. She tried her best to bow slightly to the person in front of her, then lowered her head and entered.
Gongsun Xun didn't want to listen to what the couple said about themselves, so he walked straight out of the hall. At this time, the elders of the Zhen clan and Zhen Yi's children all arrived... and it was only at this time that Gongsun Xun learned from Zhen Bao.
, it turned out that Zhen Yi’s eldest son, whom he had met once in the past, had died in infancy, and the two sons and five daughters born to him, including his wife and concubines, were all considered young.
Among them, the second son Zhen Yan, the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang, and the youngest daughter Zhen Mi were born directly; the youngest son Zhen Yao, the second daughter Zhen Tuo, the third daughter Zhen Rong, and the fourth daughter Zhen Dao were born from two concubines.
Such a courtyard is full of orphans and widows, old and weak, and the young look even more miserable under the light. However, Zhen's only support is Zhen Yi's uncle Zhen Ju who is still in Luozhong, and now he has a vague reputation as Afu Zhao Zhong.
, his political status is not very stable, so it is no wonder that Zhang Chun has superfluous ideas.
Of course, the world is in chaos, hundreds of thousands of troops are facing each other thirty miles away, and the wealth of the Zhen family, which occupies half of Wuji County, is really exciting... This is the fundamental reason why Zhang Chun became so bold.
Therefore, Zhang Chun is not only annoying in personal matters, but also irritating in official matters...it is indeed hateful!
As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun naturally knew what he should do at this time. He grabbed a lantern from Zhen Bao and went straight out of the courtyard. With a slight turn, he faced Lou Gui, Xi Zhong and Han Dang who were waiting by the pond outside the courtyard.
He asked directly: "I want to kill Zhang Chun, do you have any plan?"
Not to mention Han Dang, under the lantern, Lou Gui and Xi Zhong only looked at each other under the courtyard wall, and they already had something to say.
"Junhou." Lou Gui responded impatiently. "It is really easy for Junhou to kill Zhang Chun."
"That's right." After all, Xi Zhong waited for the 'senior' to finish his sentence before following up. "In terms of authority, now the monarchs come with integrity, and the staff is the representative of the emperor. Even if it cannot cut off two thousand stones without reason, it is enough.
The one who gives orders; and in terms of strength, there are tens of thousands of troops at the Hutuo River in the south, enough to crush Zhang Chun and his county soldiers... If you want to kill him, there is always a way."
"Zhicai, you missed one thing." Lou Gui twisted his beard and sneered. "In the past four years, the prince was the prefect of Zhongshan for three years, and Zhang Chun was here for barely half a year. The people here are even more popular than those from the county outside Wuji City.
The heart is also in the prince! Therefore, it is really easy to kill this person. However, after all, this person is worth two thousand stones, so you have to find a reason to act, and this is probably what the prince means by asking? "
"That's right." Gongsun Xun held a lantern and rarely used ink to write.
"Actually, this is easy." Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and then replied simply. "If you want speed, find an assassin locally and kill him directly. How will he be treated? If you want stability, why not urge him to march... If
If he doesn't obey the order, he will be dismissed from the post of governor and killed on the road; if he obeys the order and goes to the front line, he will be killed by random arrows!"
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly.
"Of course, there is another way." Xi Zhong suddenly smiled and said. "If you want to seek fame, you might as well wait until the master of this place dies, and then directly gather the guests, say that the master of this place has taken care of the future, and ask you to kill Zhang Chun for revenge...
…Then the monarch will fight with open fire, attack and kill this person in public, and then plead guilty to the court! At most, the merits and demerits will be equalized, and he will be removed from office for a while.
Gongsun Xun was startled for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he realized that it was not impossible...but only if he was prepared to give up the current battle in Quyang and temporarily retire to raise his name.
And besides, given the situation and advantages at hand, this method is the same as sending assassins directly, which is too violent. It is more reliable to call the opponent to the front line and die tragically for the country.
And just when Gongsun Xun was about to make up his mind, Lou Zibo suddenly shook his head: "Zhicai's plan is indeed the right one, but I always feel that it is a bit wasteful... The general is so well-known in Zhongshan, why not use it?"
"Brother Zibo, do you have any ideas?" Xi Zhong asked proudly.
"I didn't have any other intention." Lou Gui said with a proud smile. "I just thought that I had to dispatch Zhongshan troops and horses, and Zhang Chun has been here for half a year, so he must have some arrangements in the army, so why not take advantage of the situation to make some preparations...do more with one move.
I can also make things smoother when I get it.”
Gongsun Xun nodded slowly again, and just as he was about to give instructions, he suddenly heard crying in the backyard behind him, and then he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and his eyes turned red: "My heart is already in chaos, and I also have to deal with Brother Dayin's death.
Thing... let the three of you do this! There is only one thing. When I leave in a few days, Zhang Chunye must be allowed to go to the front line to wait for death!"
After saying this, Gongsun Xun threw the lantern in his hand into the pond and turned inward without looking back. Lou Gui, Xi Zhong and Han Dang also hurriedly bowed to see it off.
The evening breeze was blowing darkly, and amid the cries, cicadas were chirping and frogs were chirping. Lou Zibo and the three of them expressed a few words to each other and went straight out to work.
By the way, Zhang Chun was born in the Yuyang clan, and the two brothers in the clan were both worth 2,000 dan, so they could be considered a noble family. However, for the noble families in the border counties, such things as virtue and pure hope were not relevant, and neither were the classics.
Yes, he is quite accomplished in military affairs. What this kind of person pays attention to is bullying the weak and fearing the strong and misjudging the situation... In fact, Gongsun Zan seems to have this kind of virtue.
So back to the present, Gongsun Xun came to Hutuohe to take over the local war. At first, the Zhongshan prefect was actually tricked by Guo Xun, and he deliberately did not tell him that the new commander-in-chief was here. Later, when he got the news,
Originally, he was about to send an envoy away, but someone in the county reminded him of the relationship between Zhen Yi and Gongsun Xun, as well as Gongsun Xun's foundation in Zhongshan.
In other words, Zhang Taishou realized that it would be difficult for him to do anything without Gongsun Xun's intervention... Whether it was seeking Zhen's property or trying to maintain control over Zhongshan County soldiers... Then he gritted his teeth.
, prepared to fool around and capture Zhen's side first, so to speak, one bite is one bite. However, he never expected that Gongsun Xun, a general with five senses, had only been in Hutuo River for two days, and he personally maintained the integrity.
Come here, and as soon as you arrive here, you directly enter the Zhen family's house.
How could the three hundred white horse cavalry, the canopy umbrella cover, and the flag guard of honor be hidden from everyone's sight? Therefore, Zhang Chun was already feeling cold in the county temple that day. He just didn't know how to face Gongsun Xun, and he was worried.
He would be attacked in public, so he didn't go to see the other party at that time.
And when the Zhen Mansion burst into tears that night, the county guard was also very upset. He was afraid that Zhen's family would take the opportunity to complain, so he quickly summoned his confidants to inquire privately... The county official who had given him the advice before, as the county official
The few close confidants in the mansion were also angrily summoned by him to accuse him constantly.
This county official's surname is Xu Mingzhan. He is a native of Zhongshan. He is now a soldier. He is handsome and fair, with outstanding appearance, comparable to Lu Fan... However, this handsome man with outstanding appearance, in
Gongsun Xun was depressed during his tenure. It was not until Zhang Chun arrived that he became a prominent official in the county.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that he was angry with Gongsun Xun.
As for why Gongsun Xun abandoned him, it's not that he has no talent... but that this man came from a wealthy family and had outstanding appearance, so he and his servants were addicted to the habit of cutting sleeves since he was a child! When he grew up, he became even more obsessed with it.
Out of control,
To be fair, this kind of thing is common nowadays, but who allowed Gongsun Xun to be taught by Aunt Gongsun to be a straight man? So Gongsun Xun originally wanted to promote this person to take on important responsibilities, but after hearing about this, he directly
He was assigned as a junior official in charge of carriages and horses.
He also doesn’t know how to appoint people on their merits!
Therefore, Xu Zhan was really wronged, and he was really grateful to Zhang Chun, and he was really resentful of Gongsun Xun. He even held hands with the county soldiers outside the city to help Zhang Chun gather together.
of.
Of course, when Xu Bingcao was scolded by Zhang Chun, he had no choice but to endure the scolding... Otherwise? As Lou Gui and Xi Zhong said before, Gongsun Xun really
The general trend, the scepter, strength, popularity, and even the truth are all in his hands. Zhang Chun has no room for resistance in front of the opponent, okay?
Even if there is a confrontation of this level, how can a small soldier like him, Cao Yu, be able to comment on it?
However, when someone among Zhang Chun's Yuyang cronies actually suggested that his princess resign and leave overnight to avoid the spotlight, Xu Zhan couldn't help it. After all, there was nothing else but this.
This suggestion is absolutely unacceptable to Xu Zhan... He has only been a soldier for less than half a year, okay?
As a result, the Zhongshan soldier Cao Yu immediately tried his best to argue with the opponent, saying that it was impossible for Gongsun Xun to break his face... It would be better to wait and see what happens.
Zhang Chun was probably reluctant to part with the two thousand stone seat he had finally obtained, so he took advantage of Xu Zhan's words and scolded his fellow countrymen and guests, and took advantage of the opportunity to stay.
However, after just one night, the situation immediately got out of control the next morning.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chun was already very worried last night and didn't sleep well. At this time, he was hurriedly shouted by his subordinate early in the morning. Of course, he was frightened and extremely vigilant.
"Master Fu." The family member bowed and spoke bluntly. "The Master of the Five Features will send an envoy to your door, urging you to send troops to the Hutuo River camp immediately... This person spoke very harshly, saying that the war is urgent, and please Master Fu not to delay."
"Are you here?" Zhang Chun sat on the couch, but he was not unprepared. "Let them wait, and you can quickly invite Xu Bingcao..."
The family had no choice but to go back and do it. However, before they could take a breath, they hurried back again. At this time, Zhang Chun had not finished dressing.
"How come it's so fast?" Zhang Chun was confused.
"Master Fu!" The family was sweating in fear. "The envoy said that you were deliberately delaying the military situation and wanted to report back to General Wu Guanzhonglang. He turned around and left."
Zhang Chun felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know that things were definitely not good. But he could only say nothing and waved his hands to his family to leave.
However, Zhang Chunshang had just finished putting on his clothes, and when Zhang Chunshang was worried, his family hurriedly came to report back: "Master Fu, a moment after the envoy left, countless county officials, county officials, and county officials outside the city gathered outside the county temple.
The officers and soldiers are all wearing mourning clothes and they say that they want to ask the Lord to get on the road quickly!"
Zhang Chun was immediately shocked.
————I am the dividing line to hit the road quickly————
"Zhang Chun, courtesy name Shuren, was born in Yuyang. At the end of Guanghe, he was the prefect of Zhongshan. He was fierce and heroic, and always had great ambitions. He rose up in the yellow turban and went to war in mourning clothes to show that he would not return. When he was seen in the county and the army,
They all followed suit one after another, and the world called them Zhongshan White Army." - "Shilin Miscellaneous Notes". Yan Anonymous
