After having an additional teacher who was ranked as the Jiuqing, the first thing the three brothers Gongsun Xun felt was that their eyes suddenly opened up.
Characters that I had never seen before were flashing before my eyes like running water, and they were in close contact; important matters of the country and dynasty that I had never dared to think about before were heard in my ears; things that I didn’t know before were ringing in my ears.
The situation can now be viewed from a higher perspective.
After all, although Liu Kuan is a big boss who likes to drink but doesn't like to wash his hands, he is the ninth minister of the court after all. The court meeting takes place every five days. Even if you include the emperor who has just grown up, he still kneels and sits in the first three rows.
As for the position he holds, that is, what does Guang Luxun do? The answer is the chief steward in charge of the palace guards... This position has two extremely important powers. The first is to guard the palace; the second is,
It is the management of Langguan.
As I have said more than once before, the Langguan in the Han Dynasty had the feeling of the Central Party School. Whether you promoted Xiaolian or Maocai, being retained by the imperial court for serving as a senior planner had to go through three departments.
Only with the position of Lang can one become an official of the court. Or conversely, when the court is really ready to re-appoint a person, it is unlikely that a person without the qualifications of a Lang will be selected.
Then following Guang Luxun, the talents you see are really impressive.
In fact, Gongsun Xun stayed at Liu Kuan's house in Luoyang for just a few days and had already met many well-known talents, and these people were either children of famous families or leading figures in various counties.
For example, for the Wang family in Taiyuan, this person under Liu Kuan's family probably has the same status as Gongsun Zan on the Fengshi Mountain. But to be honest, Gongsun Xun had no impression of this name, so he despised it in his heart——
He's not very old, so he doesn't have much reputation left in troubled times. If he's either dead or not, he's probably going to be a piece of trash.
But what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that this man was actually a small prince in history. He had ruled Hedong for many years, and was finally forced to surrender by Cao Cao... And the reason why he didn't know was that his mother was not that knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
There is also a man named Fu Xie who was born in the same place and is one year younger than Gongsun Yue. Liu Kuan's position here is probably equivalent to Liu Bei's position in Fengshi Mountain. However, from Liu Kuan to Gongsun Zan, from Wang Yi to Gongsun Zan
Yue... In short, except for Gongsun Xun, who is indifferent to emotion and anger, almost everyone thinks that this little kid will definitely achieve success in the future! Just like on the Goushi Mountain, everyone except Gongsun Xun thinks that Liu Bei is like this
The naughty child will definitely not have any future...
Look at Fu Xie, he was born in a country that is not only capable of literary and martial arts, but also very eager to learn. More importantly, he is able to be prudent at a young age. He will definitely learn to do those high-spirited and upright things in books.
He would avoid the behavior criticized in the book if he could. At the same time, he was already more than seven feet tall at a young age. When he became an adult, he would be indispensable for someone who was "eight feet tall and majestic in appearance."
There is no way, people are judged by their appearance these days. If Gongsun Zan is handsome, he will be recruited as a son-in-law by the prefect, and if he has a loud voice, he will be recruited as a student by Liu Kuan. If it were Liu Bei with his big ears, he would definitely not have such luck... Even Liu Kuan that day
Kuan Neng was so happy to accept Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue as his students, which was indispensable because of their strong physique and good appearance.
However, Gongsun Xun still despises him for the same reason as Wang Yi. He always feels that people who his mother has not mentioned will either die early or be useless. Although this Fu Xie is definitely not a useless person, he will probably die early.
Finally, there is one named Xu You, whose courtesy name is Ziyuan.
Well, Xu You is from Nanyang. Considering that Liu Kuan once served as the governor of Nanyang, and the latter habitually likes to give lectures during his tenure, then Xu You is probably either Liu Kuan's disciple or an old official, or even both.
Yes...it doesn't matter, Liu Kuan is good enough to have this protégé and former official who is serving as a Langguan, and Xu You has many friends, so it seems that Liu Kuan is not bad to be a teacher either.
But what is so-called is that this strategist who made an impressive impression in Aunt Gongsun's two-month series of the Three Kingdoms story has become very close to Gongsun Xun.
"Is Brother Xun here?" Xu You, with small eyes and thin beard, once again entered the gate of the upper courtyard of Liu Kuan's house with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Ziyuan." Gongsun Xun quickly put down the dizzying "Yi" in his hand and stepped forward to greet him. "Why do you have time to come here today?"
"Hey... look what you said, I can't come to you if I have nothing to do." Xu You smiled and twisted his thin beard. "Why, are you tired of me?"
"Brother Ziyuan, what did you say?" Gongsun Xun smiled and took the other person's hand. "You and I hit it off as brothers. These days in Luoyang, brother has been a great help to me! Last time he helped our brother introduce Han Wenyue (
I haven’t thanked you properly yet for Han Sui’s matter!”
"No problem!" When Xu You heard the word 'thank you', he held the other person's hand with one hand, and almost broke his beard with the other hand, and couldn't hide the joy on his face... There was no way.
, who makes himself unable to resist money from birth, and who would have thought that the uncrowned boy from Liaoxi in front of him would be so rich and generous?
The party member Ba Chu is also generous. Unfortunately, he is not qualified to enjoy Ba Chu's money. He is thinking about finding a master who is not short of money to follow him. Who would have thought that Gongsun Xun would fall from the sky?
He used the white silver and the golden gold to smash himself into confusion!
On the other hand, Gongsun Xun actually also... uh, quite admired Xu Ziyuan.
It doesn't matter if you are greedy for money, as long as you can get things done for you! And this Xu You and Xu Ziyuan have always been paid to do things for them. No matter who they want to get to know, what activities they want to participate in, or whether they want to become famous, they always do it.
No pretensions, as long as you give me money, I will definitely do my best to help.
Moreover, this Xu You himself is from Nanyang. As I said before, these days Wanluo, Nanyang, Henan, and Yingchuan are recognized as the core triangle of the Han Dynasty, so he does have a wide range of contacts and wild paths.
We often talk to someone who is a close friend of the family, and someone who is an acquaintance of the general public...
In short, this person is really a very qualified guide in Luoyang’s social circle!
So it's no wonder that the two of them shook hands and chatted happily as soon as they met, and they became close friends.
In this way, the two of them chatted for a few words, and then went to sit down on a mat facing the sun in the courtyard. However, they brought the topic back to social issues.
"Brother Xun, you don't know." Xu You said with a hint of pride. "Cai Yong and Cai Bojie have a low official position. His position as Yilang is just a subordinate officer of Guangluxun who can directly write to the court...
He is an official of our Master Liu...but he has a great reputation and has a wide circle of friends. If you want to be famous in Luozhong, you might as well go to him."
"Why is this?" Gongsun Xun asked humbly.
"Because Cai Bojie has three skills that no one else can even praise, and he is known as the three masters... One is calligraphy. Cai Bojie's calligraphy has reached the point of establishing a sect, and it is as if it is a whole of its own. This style of calligraphy
, the strokes are all white, as if they were written with a dry pen, the so-called wonderful and unparalleled, the combination of movement and magical power is called Feibai!"
"Of course this one has been admired for a long time, what about the other two?" Not only Gongsun Xun, but also many people studying in other courtyards, including Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Yue, Wang Yi, Fu Xie and others, were unavoidable at this time.
With their ears pricked up, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue naturally gathered around him.
"There are two more. One is a gorgeous article that no one in Luoyang can match." Xu You paused for a moment. "Actually, these two skills are enough for him to be like a fish in water in Luoyang... Brother Xun, think about it,
What is the best thing to do if you have this kind of ability? Of course, writing memorial inscriptions and erecting inscriptions. So in the Wanluo generation, if someone from a wealthy family dies, who wouldn’t want to ask him to erect a monument and write a memorial inscription? And things like funerals
He has always been the most appreciative, so this Cai Bojie has the air of relying on the dead to make a fortune."
"That's true." Gongsun Xun nodded repeatedly, but couldn't help but glance at Fu Xie, who was studying seriously at the side, because he just saw clearly that this guy was hearing the saying 'relying on the dead to make a fortune'
Then he frowned visibly.
"The last skill is the cultivation of music." Xu You said so proudly that he didn't even notice the reactions of others. "But Brother Xun, do you know that Cai Bojie almost lost his temper because of his music skills?
Successful career ended!"
"oh?"
"I think back then, Cai Bojie also came from a high family, and he also studied under a famous family. He was known as a great Confucian scholar at a young age. He had a bright future..." When he said this, Xu You couldn't help but laugh. "Don't you guys?
You know, at that time, there were five great eunuchs in the court who were known as the Five Marquises. They heard about his reputation and knew that he was very good at playing the harp and drums. As a result, the five of them jointly encouraged the late emperor to recruit him as an official... and by the way, he played the harp for His Majesty. Of course you, this
Music is also an elegant thing, and it is also a great gift for a minister to play the piano for His Majesty. However, in the face of the disaster of the party, a scholar is not recruited by the three princes, nor selected by the court, but jointly recommended by the five most domineering eunuchs in the dynasty.
If Cai Bojie really becomes this official, he will never call himself a scholar in the future!"
"That's true." Everyone nodded. Scholars and eunuchs are not at odds with each other.
"So after Cai Bojie received the edict, he stopped and walked all the way. When he got to the Hulao Pass, he really didn't dare to go down, so he could only complain that he was sick." Xu You continued to laugh. "And when the late emperor knew about it, he didn't dare to go down.
Naturally, he was furious. In the end, Cai Bojie was unable to serve as an official in the late emperor's reign. It was not until three years after he ascended the throne that Duke Xuanqiao of Situqiao remembered him and issued a call for him. Cai Bojie then started from scratch...
But half of my life has been wasted.”
When everyone heard this, they became more and more emotional. This is really a typical example of people sitting at home while the pot comes from the sky.
"But those are all old things." Xu You waved his hand and said. "Now Cai Bojie is back in office, has a wide circle of friends, and is also a good player of the piano. He is famous in Luozhong, so dignitaries and children of aristocratic families all like to go to his house to have fun.
I just wanted to hear a song...so I kept going back and forth, and the Cai Mansion became a place that became one of the most famous places in Luozhong."
"That's it." Gongsun Xun pretended to sigh. "With such a magnificent scene, I wonder if Xun and others will have the opportunity to go to Cai Bojie's house to see it?"
This is what Xu You was waiting for. He immediately grabbed the other party's sleeve and said: "This is easy. Cai Bojie and I will go and talk about it. Next time we... uh, Xundi, Bogui, Ayue
That's fine, anyway, if we go together, he will definitely give you face."
"Then thank you so much, brother Ziyuan." Starting from Gongsun Xun, the three brothers all bowed their hands in salute.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Xu You smiled again after hearing the word "thank you".
At this point, Xu You could have stopped here, but in his complacency, he inevitably said something more: "But I have something to say to Xian Kunzhong. After I went to Cai Bojie's house, I would like to use this place."
It's okay to associate with talented people in Luozhong, but if you meet Cai Bojie himself, treat him with courtesy and don't get too close to him..."
"Why is this?" Gongsun Yue asked slightly puzzled.
"Xian Kunzhong doesn't know." Xu You twirled his beard and said with a smile. "You think this Cai Bojie has three talents and is famous all over the world. No one in the wealthy family knows that he only received his favor to build a monument for his ancestors.
How much, and it has been several years since I became an official, but why am I still a 600-shi Yilang?"
How could the Gongsun brothers know this, so they naturally looked at each other.
"Because it's too arrogant!" Xu You shook his head and sighed. "As a councilor, he is qualified to directly write letters and comment on matters. In the past few years, His Majesty didn't realize it when he was not crowned, but now that he is in charge, this
Cai Bojie seemed to have lost his mind and always wrote some truths that embarrassed everyone, and he was still proud of himself! As everyone knows, there are few people who are grateful and many people who hold grudges. In the past few years, because of his outspokenness in writing letters,
He has lost more hearts than he had accumulated in the past few decades... If he hadn't been considered a subordinate of our Master Liu now, everyone would be willing to give Master Liu a face, otherwise... Haha! Just watch.
, once our Master Liu is promoted to the position of Sangong, and the position of Guang Luxun becomes someone else's, then Cai Bojie will inevitably go into exile! Do you think it is necessary to have a close relationship with such a person?
?”
The three brothers each sighed with emotion and were speechless. Gongsun Xun was even more emotional when he remembered what his mother had said about Cai Yong's ending.
However, these words finally annoyed a young man who was studying aside.
"What kind of words are you talking about, Mr. Xu?!" Fu Xie threw down the letter in his hand and refuted angrily. "As a minister, writing a letter to speak out should be your duty. Mr. Cai does not care about personal gains and losses. He is loyal and dare to speak out. This is especially true for me.
He is a role model, and it should be an honor to associate with such a gentleman. How can you in turn advise Brother Bogui and others not to have a close relationship with Cai Gong?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone rushed to persuade them, and Gongsun Xun and the three brothers were even more anxious... none of them were stupid. If Fu Xie followed the example of Guan Ning, a famous scholar in Beihai, to cut ties and become famous all over the world, then the three of them would
What is a human being? Aren’t you going to be embarrassed and thrown into grandma’s house?
Fortunately, Xu You was a clear-minded person. He probably didn't care about Fu Xie for the sake of Gongsun Xun's small money. He just smiled, waved his sleeves and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say that there was an opportunity.
Introducing another fellow from Nanyang named Feng Ji to Gongsun Xun and others... which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
"This Fu Xie is too much." The three brothers sent Xu You out. Before he could turn back, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but feel disgust on his face. "It's as if the whole world is filthy, but he is the only one who is upright and upright... What Xu Ziyuan said
What's wrong with your words? Aren't those words for our own good?"
"Actually, brother." Gongsun Yue shook his head after hearing this. "Although Fu Xie is a bit too upright, he is still reassuring compared to Xu You... Xu You can be here today because of Brother Xun's generosity.
If you belittle Cai Yong here, you may belittle us tomorrow because of others' generosity. But Fu Xie, this guy, no matter what, you can always make people feel at ease by being friends with him."
As soon as these words came out, even though Gongsun Zan was the eldest brother, he was speechless for a moment.
"It's better to move out!" Gongsun Xun said helplessly. "For people like Fu Xie, keeping a respectful distance is the best way to avoid such things from happening again. And Xu You, of course, cannot be relied upon for a long time.
But in the short term, we still have to rely on him to manage our connections... Anyway, we won’t be staying in Luoyang for long, so it doesn’t matter.”
Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Yue nodded in unison, so the three brothers agreed that Gongsun Zan would go to the surrounding area of Liu Kuan's house to find a small house, while Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue would go back to Fengshi Mountain together to get some money.
Make things convenient.
"When Taizu was young, he tried to comment on the people in Luozhong with his clan brothers... Yue said: 'Xu Ziyuan is a ferocious and lewd person, and his behavior is impure.' Zan said: 'Fu Xie is upright and unruly, and will definitely be killed.' Taizu said:
'How harsh? Everything is people-oriented. Talents are rare. Although Xu You is greedy, he can especially use his wisdom and tactics; although Fu Xie is stubborn, he can especially rely on his heart and heart. That's all.' Zan and Yue are grateful." - "Old Yan"
