During this period, Xu You came over to complain once, but the three of them dismissed him saying that he had been ordered by Master Lu Zhi and had to go back here to study hard;
During this period, Liu Bei once again joined forces with Gongsun Zan, causing chaos in Fengshi County;
During this period, Aunt Gongsun once sent a letter from home, specifically praising her son's contribution to promoting the development of human civilization, such as the promotion of papermaking;
During this period, Lu Fan returned to his hometown to get married, and everyone inevitably made trouble again;
During this period, Gongsun Xun asked Gongsun Yue to come to Cai Yong's house and steal all the manuscripts of the Seven Confucian Classics and the Forty-Two Chapters in the name of copying, intending to use them as family heirlooms;
During this period, the civet cat that was inconvenient for people to take home unexpectedly gave birth to another litter, which made the Yushi courtyard full of cat ancestors. Gongsun Xun even had to give two to Cai Yong, saying It was the cat raised by Gongsun Yue that ate all the manuscripts, so he handed the prisoner over to his own hands to kill or cut him into pieces...
However, the three months of waiting also made the Gongsun brothers lower their guard a little, and Gongsun Xun even vaguely felt that he was overreacting... The so-called "external tolerance and internal taboo" is just a general talk, right?
Besides, if Yuan Shao really wanted to be jealous this time, he would probably have to target Han Sui, who was so proud that day, right?
So, after the New Year's Eve, the Gongsun brothers finally decided to go to Luoyang City... It's one thing to explore the wind. Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi are both in the city, so they always want to pay New Year's greetings, right?
Liu Kuan's place was naturally very lively. The old man was extremely tolerant to everyone. He also had a high status, was old, and had extensive experience. Therefore, the visitors included people from all over the world, not to mention the subordinate officials to whom Guang Luxun belonged. There were a lot of officials and disciples. Brother Gongsun even saw a farmer who claimed to be from Hongnong and came to pay New Year greetings with his oxen and two bundles of firewood... Liu Kuan's family treated everyone equally, which was really surprising. admire.
However, after leaving Liu Kuan's place and going to Lu Zhi's place, it seemed a lot more desolate.
You must know that Lu Zhi studied history at Dongguan, and the Dongguan is located in the Nangong. Due to the strict palace restrictions, once you enter, you feel like you are isolated from the world. And his residence is located in the public room at the east gate of the Nangong. Although this place is not considered to be inside the palace, But the interrogation was very difficult, so Lu Zhi had very few friends with him in the past six months. Even the disciples of the Feng family had a hard time meeting him. In addition, he had a cold and serious personality... In fact, if the Gongsun brothers had not been executed this time, Everyone in the family has entrusted the duty of paying homage to him, so Gongsun Zan may not be willing to come.
When they arrived at Lu Zhi's residence, although the place could not be called deserted, it was not a lively place either. The three of them paid homage and sat there for a while before they had nothing to say. So Lu Zhi simply suggested that the other two He then went to visit Cai Yong and other elders in Luozhong, leaving only Gongsun Xun here as his attendant.
There was nothing to say for a day. Gongsun Xun spent most of the time leading a few servants to entertain Dongguan's subordinate Daobi Li who came to pay New Year greetings. It was not until he met Yang Biao in the afternoon that the two exchanged names, shook hands and had a pleasant conversation. OK.
However, Gongsun Xun did not go back in the evening, because when Yang Biao said goodbye and left, he discovered that Lu Zhi's feet were obviously swollen, probably due to sitting cross-legged for a long time, so he quickly sent a servant to Liu Kuan to ask for I bought some anti-inflammatory and warming herbs, and sent people back to Goushi to find the ginseng stored there... In short, it was a lot of trouble.
And one day later, warm and blood-enhancing medicines such as angelica were delivered to Liu Kuan's house early, and Aunt Jin also sent someone to deliver ginseng. This move triggered a chain reaction - always
When the unruly Liu Kuan heard that Lu Zhi was ill, he drove his bullock cart to visit him.
Of course, Liu Kuan didn't really visit the doctor. He was used to it casually, and there was too much turmoil at home, so he came here to hide away - if nothing else, how could he visit the doctor during the Chinese New Year without doing anything?
Did you bring a jar of wine instead?
But he came to the right place, especially after Cai Yong came over at noon... The latter, as the deputy of Dongguan's history editor, was supposed to come to pay a visit.
So, the three of them gathered around a small square table in the back room to warm themselves up by the fire, drink and chat, while Gongsun Xun was outside taking care of the decoction... They were all in peace at first, and Gongsun Xun even thought that if Lu Zhi was fine, then
He said goodbye and left this afternoon. But suddenly, Cai Bojie seemed to have remembered something, and stopped him as he was carrying the medicine.
"Speaking of which, since the Chinese New Year is over, Lu Gong, the student called Gongsun Xun, is barely twenty, right?" Cai Yong asked, holding the wine pot.
"It depends on what you say." Liu Kuan stroked his beard and said with a smile. "Customs vary from place to place. It's not impossible to force it, but generally we have to wait until the birthday is over before talking..."
Gongsun Xun was also startled. He raised his head and thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was really the case... He was born in the second year of Yongshou, and now it is the fifth year of Xiping. Although he has not celebrated his birthday, he is still barely twenty years old.
.Think about the day when I first heard that my elder brother Sun Zan was coming to Lu Zhi to become his disciple. I couldn’t wait to catch a ride, so much so that I was trapped in Lulong fortress. I was only eighteen years old at that time, and even though it was only more than a year later,
Two New Year's holidays passed in the middle, and I couldn't help but sigh.
"So..." Lu Zhi seemed to understand something. "Gongsun Xun."
"Disciple is here." Gongsun Xun came to his senses and agreed quickly. "Master Lu, what are your orders?"
"Come forward."
"Here..."
"Now that you are twenty, let me ask you, do you have any ambitions?" Lu Zhi asked seriously, leaning on the table.
At this moment, Gongsun Xun was asked what was on his mind. He leaned over and saluted: "To be honest with Master Lu, I lost my father when I was young. I was raised by my mother, and I obeyed her... She often said
I said, if one day I can be the governor of western Liaoning and ensure the safety of the whole country, that will be enough to comfort her."
The three people sitting at the top and drinking together burst into laughter.
"Do you want to achieve two thousand stones?" Lu Zhi asked with a smile. "It is indeed an extraordinary ambition."
"You are also a handsome young man I have rarely seen in so many years." Liu Kuan also smiled. "Why do you always think about the remote place in your hometown?"
"No matter what, this is an extremely difficult thing." Cai Yong couldn't help but laugh. "Don't you know the Three Mutual Methods?"
The three mutual laws refer to the rules of certain administrative regions that must be avoided after reaching a certain level as an official. Roughly speaking, if a person from County A is appointed as the governor of County B, a person from County B cannot be appointed as the governor of County A. Of course, the actual situation will be different.
It's more complicated and strict, involving equality of official ranks, marriage relationships, etc...
But no matter what, it is an iron rule that you cannot serve as an official in this county starting from the six hundred stone court official.
That's why Cai Yong laughed... How can you, a native of Liaoxi, be the governor of Liaoxi?
Gongsun Xun also laughed when he heard this. Of course, he didn't bother to explain to him what his mother really meant - to get a high position first, make friends with heroes, and then go back to his hometown together in troubled times, and defend himself in western Liaoning.
The real prerequisite for "surviving your life in troubled times". Only by holding the key border county in western Liaoning, suppressing Wuhuan and Xianbei, and keeping the important areas of Hebei safe, can you be qualified to keep changing your arms!
And according to my mother-in-law, there was a family named Chen in Guangling, Xuzhou who did this, and they were really happy and happy until the end of the troubled times.
"Let the teacher and elders laugh." After thinking this, Gongsun Xun just said perfunctorily.
"It doesn't matter..." Lu Zhi shook his head and said. "I already have a plan in mind. Go to the side room outside, open the top willow box, and bring the items inside to me."
Gongsun Xun didn't know why, but he had no choice but to do as he was told. However, when he opened the box, he suddenly realized that it was an ordinary Jinxian Crown.
The so-called Jinxian crown is a very common crown in Confucianism. It can be worn by ordinary scholars to high-ranking officials at the three-gong level. It can even be used when facing the emperor. The ritual system is also very simple... There are detachable parts on the crown.
Liang, three beams are used by princes; two beams are used by all Confucian students from the middle two thousand stones (Jiuqing level) to doctors; and one beam is used by all Confucian students from doctor level to below, including private disciples.
Therefore, how could Gongsun Xun not understand that Lu Zhi actually wanted to take this opportunity to crown himself here!
"Isn't this a bit hasty?" After Gongsun Xun came out holding the Jinxian crown, Liu Kuan didn't say anything, but Cai Yong became a little embarrassed. "What I just meant was that I might as well take this opportunity to give him a name.
Shouldn't the crown ceremony be carried out by the elders of his clan when he returns? And there should be a banquet for guests as a witness..."
"How can there be so many opinions?" Lu Zhi said disapprovingly. "He lost his father when he was young. He has never seen his biological father since he was born. His mother is also ungrateful. When it comes to elders, the people he will look for after returning home may not be the same.
It’s more suitable for me and Mr. Liu.”
"That's true." Liu Kuan also shook his head. "All etiquette is false. I think back in the days when the Xiliang Qiang were in chaos and the imperial court was recruiting troops in Sanfu, I was riding an ox cart back to Hongnong. On the road, I saw a fifteen-year-old man who had just tied his hair.
When a young boy was ordered to serve in the military, his parents took a piece of cloth and wrapped his hair in a bun, which was regarded as crowning him... Today, I am sitting here, with Ziqian supporting his crown, and his uncle holding his crown.
Singing a salute for him... is enough!"
Anyway, it was not his turn to make the decision, so Gongsun Xun remained expressionless throughout the whole process. When he heard the other party's arrangement, he knelt down and sat down in front of the table between the three of them, feeling ready.
"Hold on." Cai Bojie called out again. "After all, as a famous scholar, you still have to choose your words first."
"That's true." Lu Zhi nodded. "Both of you are everyone, how can you gain anything?"
"Xunzhe... the words come from "Huainanzi", the so-called beauty of the East is Xun Youqi Yan, the doctor without Lu." Cai Bo sighed, stroking his beard. "This doctor Wulu Mountain is in western Liaoning, and he is an ancient sage.
Where Emperor Zhuanxu is buried, the person who named him can be regarded as knowledgeable."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled.
"No." Cai Bojie retorted seriously. "Mr. Lu needs to know that many characters are related to his name. Since the name of this boy from Liaoxi is 'Xun', there should be '玗' or 'Qi' in the character, otherwise , wouldn’t it invalidate this good name? I think it should be given the word ‘Qi’.”
"Then it's 'Qi'." Liu Kuan nodded impatiently on the table and made a decision. "Then what?"
"Then... it's not as good as 'Ziqi'?" Cai Yong glanced at Gongsun Xun and said. "The word 'zi' is often used to show humility and retreat."
"I think it's not as good as 'Wen Qi'." Lu Zhi also looked at Gongsun Xun and smiled. "What do you think, Mr. Liu?"
"How about 'Gongqi'?" Liu Kuan actually had a third plan.
The three people in front were arguing endlessly, while Gongsun Xun, who was kneeling below, was listening with his face changing, but in the end there was nothing he could do... There was really no way, it was like this these days, and he was the least concerned about his own name. You have the right to speak, even if you are an adult after today.
"There's no need to argue." After an unknown amount of time, Liu Kuan, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly raised his dark hands that hadn't been washed for who knows how many days, slapped them on the side table, and then said proudly, "I'm my age. The longest, the highest status, of course this kind of thing must be based on my opinion...it's 'gongqi'!"
Fortunately, it's not a rooster! However, the name Gongqi is quite similar to the name Yu, Gongjin. I don't know how old Mei Zhoulang is, the peerless talent mentioned by his mother... Of course, Gongsun Xun secretly complained in his heart. All I could do was bow down quickly and say thank you.
However, just when Gongsun Xun leaned over, Teacher Lu suddenly made a decisive note: "No! The word 'Gong' conflicts with his surname and cannot be used!"
Liu Kuan was shocked when he heard this, but he could only shake his head helplessly... It was really not a good idea to change his surname to Gongsun and give him the given name Gongqi.
"As for what Cai Bozhe said, there is no need to think too much." After repelling his biggest enemy, Lu Zhifu pursued the victory and defeated Cai Yong. "This is a crown ceremony. How can you abandon the teacher's gift and use someone else's? Woolen cloth?"
Cai Yong shook his head repeatedly: "Obviously it was Mr. Lu who asked me first... Anyway, Mr. Lu is the tallest, so I'll just go with what you said!"
Gongsun Xun once again bowed and thanked him, but this time nothing happened... Liu Kuan sat in the middle as an elder, Cai Yong stood up and sang the salute, and Lu Zhi gave Jinxian who had only one beam. The crown was placed on the head of his disciple.
In other words, from today on, he is Gongsun Xun, courtesy name Wenqi, from Lingzhi in Liaoxi, that's all.
"That's fine!" After Gongsun Xun stood up, Lu Zhi took two steps back and smiled. "Since Wen Qi is an adult, you should have come forward to have a drink with us at the same table, but during the New Year, you are also here with us. I stayed here for two or three days, and then made some medicine for me myself... I heard what kind of Angelica sinensis soup it is? Since the Angelica soup is ready, you can also use Angelica sinensis, and I won’t keep you here!"
Gongsun Xun was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know for a moment whether the words had multiple meanings... But since he said this, Liu Kuan and Cai Yong were beside him, so he couldn't ask more questions, so he had to bow down and say goodbye again. He only said that he would come back to serve the teacher some time later.
However, when he returned to Goushi, he found that Jia Chao had returned from western Liaoning again and had been waiting here for two full days.
Gongsun Xun became more and more suspicious, but this suspicion finally disappeared after he opened the kit sent by his mother. Except for him, in addition to a letter written on a blank paper, the kit also contained a traditional Chinese medicine.
.
"Treat me like a child again!" Gongsun Xun looked at the angelica in his hand and shook his head in anger, almost shaking off the Jin Xian crown he had just worn for less than a day.
"When Taizu was performing the crowning ceremony, Liu Kuan, Lu Zhi, and Cai Yong were standing by his side. They discussed their names, one was called Gongqi, the other was Wenqi, and the other was Ziqi. After a long debate, Wenqi was chosen. In the next few years,
, Zuo Jin praised and said: "These three words are all beautiful. The young man must be very brave and brave to win such love." Taizu smiled and said: "You don't know, when I was young in Luo, I acted cunningly, selfishly, and acted boldly. Cai Gong
When he said "Zi", he was mocking my incompetence and urging me to be humble; when Master Liu said "Gong", he really thought that I was narrow-minded and unselfish; when Master Lu said "Wen", he was disgusted with my stupidity and disobedience and hoped that I could be virtuous...even though it was a great love.
, How can we talk about heroism and martial arts? 'The words and deeds of Taizu are so frank." - "Xin Yan Shu". Volume 1. The Chronicles of Emperor Taizu Wu
