Chapter 4 Demonstrate great virtue on the street

"What a pity!" After putting away the list, Gongsun Xun sighed. "Brother Shuyi has a great future. He was the Yilang seven years ago. I can't take it without permission... But if there are any problems in the governance of Hanoi, I can still

Please don’t refuse then.”

"If that's not the case, why did you pour your heart out and put it all into the general's pocket?" Sima Zhi stood up and saluted respectfully. "The world is in turmoil, and it is exactly the need for people like the general to appease the country... The general has something to ask for, although Zhi Zhi

Virtue is shallow, but you can still do your best!"

Gongsun Xun really appreciates this kind of character more and more, he is moral, capable, and not pretentious.

However, appreciation is appreciation. Unless he voluntarily gives up his official career, this is really not a figure that Gongsun Xun can use. In fact, seeing that the other party has a lot of thoughts about peace, he has already planned to become an official as soon as possible and take charge of the government.

It's thoughtful! Therefore, all Gongsun Xun can do at this time is to recommend and praise this person to the court.

In short, this visit was an unexpected blessing. In addition to gaining a lot, Gongsun Xun also met a rare person... To be honest, he almost wanted to ask the other person if he would change his name to Sima Hui in the future.

.

Of course, the fly in the ointment still appeared - before leaving, Sima Lang was very unhappy when he heard that he was going to be a follower for someone! Gongsun Xun also started to talk a little bit. He probably said it when he first met him.

This frightened the other person, who was still a child, and left a shadow on him.

However, Sima Zhi didn't care about this. He simply carried the belt and went straight into Sima Fang's house in the west, blocking Sima Lang in the house. After leaning for a while, Mrs. Sima came out to approve in person, and then went out to invite Gongsun Xun in.

Congratulations.

It was only when Gongsun Xun entered the hall that he noticed that there was a five or six-year-old child beside Mrs. Sima, and behind her there was a maid holding a swaddling baby... Come to think of it, if it wasn't for the need to give birth, Mrs. Sima wouldn't have done it.

She will stay away from her husband and return to her hometown to live in peace.

However, this is the young boy named Sima Yi!

Gongsun Xun glanced at the other party, but he simply stood up and took out a piece of candy wrapped in oil paper and honey from the brocade bag and handed it to him. Seeing the boy glance at his mother, he bowed respectfully and took it.

He ate the candy as soon as it came. General Wei couldn't help laughing, but he took out a piece of jade from his brocade bag, handed it to Mrs. Sima, and said with a proud smile: "Brother Jiangong has an excellent adopted son. Let Da Lang come with me today."

, after Erlang ties up his hair, you might as well come to my tent as an official!"

Mrs. Sima bowed in court and accepted the gift for her son calmly... Aren't General Wei and Jihou worthy of supporting her son?

And while Gongsun Xun was using his official power to bully women and children whose husbands were not at home, inside the house, Sima Zhi had already begun to tie Sima Lang's hair himself.

Binding hair is not a crown, so why are there so many rules? However, when Sima Zhi untied the other party's hair and tied it with a tie, he still couldn't help but give a few words:

"Dalang!"

"Yes!" Sima Lang, who was tall and already looked like a serious man with his hair tied up, was momentarily at a loss.

"It is normal for a son of aristocratic family to serve as an official in this county. It will not delay your studies. In the future, your father will invite famous teachers for you, or if he is called, you can go again. Not to mention, this time Zhao Zi, Chang Lin, Yang Jun

"Wang Xiang, most of the talented young people in these counties will be recruited by Jihou, you can also ask them for advice." Sima Zhi tried his best to comfort.

"I know." Sima Lang nodded, but his eyes were still red. "It's just that General Wei likes to bully people too much. I'm afraid of being bullied by following him."

"Just bully!" Sima Zhi shook his head for a moment. "After Emperor Gaozu established the cauldron, Lu Jia said to Chen Ping, 'When the world is safe, pay attention to the prime minister; when the world is in danger, pay attention to the generals'... Nowadays, the world is in chaos and is in danger for a while. Although the emperor has I wanted to cheer myself up, but the situation was in front of me, so in the next few years, the people who decided the fate of the world were no longer the central three princes and Shangshu Ling, but Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Gongsun Xun, not to mention that they were still The prefect of Hanoi is naturally the prince of our county. In fact, if I had not raised him for seven years and had no intention of pursuing an official career and wanting to do more in political affairs, I would have recommended myself as a personal minister of the shogunate. Since your father and I cannot For this reason, as the eldest son of this generation in the clan, you should set an example, so how can you not dare to go just because others like to tease you?"

Sima Lang, who was fourteen years old and had to tie up his hair, quickly bowed and saluted when he heard this. When he raised his head again, he had managed to control his expression and just said quickly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will serve this general seriously and will not cause Hanoi to suffer." Sima is in the way!"

Sima Zhi nodded slightly, and then continued to comfort him: "Actually, you don't have to be afraid of him. Although General Wei looks scary, he is actually a man of great virtue..."

"Uncle, I only saw his majesty, but not his virtues." Sima Lang gritted his teeth and refuted. "If he has virtues, why do you want to name your son a father? Why do you want to threaten the inner gate supervisor?"

"No." Sima Zhi shook his head and said. "When I saw him in front of the inner gate today, I knew he was a truly virtuous man... Have you seen the white horse cavalry accompanying him?"

"nature."

"Then did you notice that all his cavalry are on the road?" Sima Zhi continued to ask.

"So what if we are all on the road?" Sima Lang disagreed. "How can we go into the ditch if we are not on the road?"

Sima smiled and did not answer, but pressed the shoulder of the other party who was tall and disproportionate to his age, and gave him a push: "Go! They are probably waiting outside in a hurry. Let's take your commander to Changbo Huai. Do you know where he is?"

"My nephew knows." Sima Lang bowed and turned around.

Naturally, Gongsun Xun didn't know what the other uncle and nephew were talking about inside the house. Even if he knew it, it wouldn't hurt. Seeing Sima Lang changing his clothes and saluting him respectfully, he was proud but couldn't wait to see it. Look at that Chang Lin.

The group said goodbye to Sima Zhi and Sima Lang's mother, and then led the way to the ordinary forest with Sima Lang leading the way.

However, Sima Lang carefully rode on a horse and when he passed an inner gate, he pointed at the inner gate and said simply: "Your Majesty, Brother Bohuai lives here, but he must not be at home at this time. I don’t know whether I should go inside and wait for him, or go directly to the fields to look for him?”

"What are you doing in the fields at this time?" Lou Zibo was curious for a moment.

"While we are going to compost, we also need to collect firewood and store it for winter." Sima Lang bowed to Lou Gui respectfully and explained, but he couldn't help but feel proud and proud of this countryman. "Brother Bo Huai himself He was born in a poor family and became an orphan when his hair was tied up. However, he has always paid attention to physical practice and would never accept gifts from others as long as he had the strength. Therefore, he always took scriptures to the fields and read when he was tired from work... …”

Sima Lang suddenly shut up.

Lou Zibo and others followed his gaze and saw a young woman carrying a clay pot coming out of the inner door. Seeing so many white horses from a distance, they were naturally startled, but they came back to their senses.

He bowed and bowed before turning around and walking away.

"This is Brother Bohuai's wife." Sima Lang whispered. "She should have sent soup to Brother Bohuai... I heard that these two people had been married for several years and met each other in the fields.

We treat each other with respect."

Everyone sighed with emotion.

By the way, everyone came in a hurry this time, and ordinary people may not know that Gongsun Xun has become the governor of Hanoi. Even if Chang Lin wants to act, he may not be able to make it in time... In other words, if Chang Lin is really in the field, he may really have the ability.

Character!

Or, to put it another way, it’s hard to say that people have nothing to say about their achievements but their intentions. They just have a plan, but they can start to work on their own and continue to study.

In fact, even the most unscrupulous people like Lou Zibo and Xi Zhicai were speechless... You know, these two people didn't believe Sima Zhi's behavior before, so they went around inside.

After searching and observing for a long time, I could only hold my nose and admit that Sima Zhi was indeed a simple and virtuous man from a poor family.

As for Gongsun Xun, he had more on his mind at this time.

In other words, the longer he spent in the inland counties, the more Gongsun Xun had a clear understanding, that is, the so-called superior families often have people with truly noble morals and outstanding talents... Sima Zhi was like this before,

The same goes for Chang Lin who was recommended by Sima Zhi. They are actually from the Guan clan, but they can abide by morality and be strict with themselves.

The reason is very simple. Officialdom is like a battlefield. If there is no clear name to rely on, the family cannot continue its political power in the harsh political struggle. Therefore, the moral education of the family is still very real; and correspondingly,

The powerful families who were deprived of political power by their clans and were in an oppressed position instead behaved extravagantly and illegally... The reason is also very simple. The powerful families had no political power and could only focus on economic expansion.

This is a matter of class being class and individuals being individuals.

And here lies the complexity of the matter.

Gongsun Xun wrote a letter to his mother that day about the "Han Pill". It was also combined with his many years of experience as a long-term official and reiterated his view of peace - breaking the political monopoly of the family and the economic monopoly of powerful people, and unblocking political power from top to bottom.

Use wealth circulation as a means of mediation to reconstruct the basis of social class.

But at this time, it seems that there is still a long way to go.

After all, at this moment, almost all political talents are among the scholars, and you need to use their own talents to break their own political privileges; then, the so-called means of production (Gongsun Da Niang's words) are in the hands of powerful people, so

You also need to mobilize them to break their own economic privileges... This will test the skill of those in power.

"Your Majesty." Lou Gui couldn't help but call Gongsun Xun. "What should we do?"

"Just follow him!" Gongsun Xun sighed, put his thoughts away, and rode away.

Sure enough, after a while, everyone really saw a couple who treated each other with respect. The husband had been composting in the field, sweating profusely, but not losing his dignity, and the wife even raised the can to her eyebrows.

By the way, there was no one in the surrounding fields, but they were already standing there in panic. Only this young man, who had seen so many knights coming with his wife from a distance, just glanced at them and continued to lower his head to compost. Then the wife came

In front of me, he took the jar in a dignified manner, took a few sips of the hot soup, thanked his wife, and then walked up from the field without being humble or overbearing.

"I've seen General Gongsun!" The young man leaned over and saluted.

"The white horse is like a forest, which makes it easier to identify." Gongsun Xun smiled on the horse. "Are you Chang Lin Chang Bohuai?"

"Exactly." The young man stood up and answered with his head held high.

"Can I see your hands?" Gongsun Xun was still condescending and quite rude.

But Chang Lin remained calm and took two steps forward and spread his hands.

"What a cocoon!" When Sima Lang was dumbfounded, Gongsun Xun directly rubbed the palm of his riding whip with his horse whip, and then he got everyone to stand up and dismount, and said seriously. "I am now General Wei, leading the prefect of Hanoi, and I want to make you my curtain."

Zhongteng, would you like to come?"

"I am willing to follow it." Chang Lin replied proudly and simply.

Sima Lang, who had just rolled off his horse, became increasingly dazed and confused.

"You, a fellow country boy, seem to have some doubts," Gongsun Xun turned around and pointed his riding whip at Sima Lang and said with a smile. "Bo Huai is willing to help him clear up his doubts?"

"The Da Lang of the Sima family is quite worthy!" Chang Lin looked at Sima Lang and said frankly. "Da Lang, you must know that first of all, General Wei is the prefect of this county, and he is the king of the county. I am a citizen of the county.

This is called justifiable; secondly, the world is in chaos, and it is time for a majestic figure like General Wei to take over one side to comfort one side and restore peace to the other side, and as a local, it is my duty to help him. This is called putting national affairs first;

Yes, although the general seemed rude just now, true virtue and etiquette do not lie in these small things... The fields were deserted in winter, but hundreds of white horse cavalry were crowded on the fields and lined up all the way to the inner gate without stepping on the fields.

, it seems that the general has strict military discipline on weekdays, and has already warned him... In other words, the general's virtue is a great virtue, not a small virtue in etiquette; finally, I often study in the forest, cultivate the land, and rely on my own efforts, but it is not because I don't want to be an official or not.

As an official, now the general is so majestic and virtuous, why am I not convinced and why am I not being conquered?"

Sima Lang, who had just tied his hair, was stunned.

"You idiot!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but mock Sima Lang, but he couldn't help but smile proudly. "Chang Bohuai has both ability and political integrity... Shuzhi, let him and Zao Zhi become your deputy together!"

Chang Lin and Wang Xiu, who stepped forward, each bowed their heads to each other, while Gongsun Xun was feeling unbearable in the cold wind in the winter field... No matter what, the scholars in this world finally understood that if they want to protect the country and the people,

It's an excellent choice for you.

Ten years of hard work are not in vain!

——————I am the dividing line that makes the hard work worthwhile——————

"Taizu often sent out troops, marching through the wheat, and ordered, 'The soldiers will not be defeated in the wheat, and those who offend will die.' Therefore, the knights were careful and did not dare to resist. In winter, Taizu led his troops across the river and saw a man composting in the field. His wife

He arrived with the soup, raised the pot to the level of his eyebrows, and even had scriptures on the stem. After Taizu carefully observed it, he looked around and said with a smile: "This is not a talented and virtuous person, but a fake traveler. You should try it." Then he called him forward,

He checked his hand with a whip and saw that his fingers were covered with cocoons. He dismounted his horse and asked for his name. He found it in Changlin, Hanoi. He often bowed and bowed, and he responded directly. Taizu was surprised: "I am so rude in front of you, why do you do this to me?"

As for this?" Chang Lin bowed again and said, "Is it true that the general is good at detecting authenticity? This winter, the fields are deserted, the general is coming with his troops, and the knights are all lined up on the street. It can be seen that the general is a man of great power and virtue, and he is willing to follow him.

.'Taizu was so happy." - "Shishuo Xinyu", Shi Jian Chapter

PS: I just found out that there is actually an alliance leader...Thank you to the new alliance leader Bengyue Tears Hunter.
