"...The situation at that time was so critical that it cannot be described in words... Cheng Pu, the right-hand Peiping soldier Cao Zuoliu, took the wife of the Ming Dynasty to escape danger before the battle, turned back to block the pursuers, and stood in front of the tens of thousands of troops with three cavalry in a row, shocking the enemy soldiers.
, the situation is now safe... His bravery is astonishing, and it is incomparable to the trend of tiger ministers at that time. I ask the prince to learn from it and promote him well."
"As a guest in my house, Han Dang, the former Lulong fortress commander, shot and killed the enemy chief Ke Zutan on the battlefield. He deserves the first place in merit. I sincerely ask the Ming government to recognize his bravery!"
"My brother, Gongsun Fan, has two thousand stones. He did not avoid swords and arrows. He led three hundred Hu troops to counterattack the Xianbei central army, blocking its road and allowing the army to attack calmly. It is a great achievement and hard work. I hope the Ming government will inspect it and let it go."
"Lou Gui of Nanyang comes from a famous family and is good at making strange plans. His sneaking in this time was all thanks to his plan. He also killed one Xianbei soldier in front of the battle line and saved the prince and his daughter from danger. This is a great achievement. Please give me some advice from Uncle Fang."
"There is also the Mohu tribe of Xianbei in western Liaoning. They have lived in the Han Dynasty for a long time and admire the Chinese culture. They turned against them in this battle. It is thanks to their strength that they can be cared for by the Ming Dynasty."
After finishing his words, Gongsun Xun stood upright on the stage, but bowed his head slightly, maintaining a saluting posture, and waited patiently for the words of the three truly powerful people on the stage.
"I already know everything Wen Qi said." Zhao Bao, Gongsun Xun's father-in-law and current governor of Western Liaoning, replied a little perfunctorily. "I will naturally allocate the contributions of these people, so you can step aside."
"Hey!" The governor of Youbeiping County on the side suddenly interjected at this time. "How could Duke Zhao treat his heroes so harshly? When I led the army to Lulongsai, I heard that Gongsun Wenqi had defeated the camp with thirty cavalry.
This time he only took four people to sneak out of the fortress, so he knew that he was going to perform a special feat just like last time! After the war, I asked about it, and it turned out to be the case... Only five people sneaked into the tens of thousands of troops, one of them escaped with the help of Duke Zhao and his mother;
Duke Zhao's wife escaped; one person escaped with Duke Zhao's beloved daughter; one person shot and killed the enemy chief before the battle; one person disrupted the enemy's Chinese army before the battle... In my opinion, the contribution of these five people is probably the top five in this battle!"
Governor Wang's sudden intervention seemed to catch Zhao Bao by surprise, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only freeze on the spot.
But it wasn't over yet. In the eyes of everyone, the Prince of Beiping, the governor of Youbeiping who came here simply because of the geographical location to take credit for his achievements, actually stood up again while talking, and went straight to Gongsun Xun with his own glass of wine.
before:
"Besides, Wenqi, you praise the contributions of others in this industry so much, but why don't you mention anything about your own actions? Weren't you the one who took the lead in infiltrating the enemy army this time? How can a group of heroes be leaderless? Isn't their contribution not the same?
Should three points be counted on you? As a county official, I heard that my master was caught in a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. He risked his life to sneak into the enemy camp. As a result, he not only rescued the master's family, but also disrupted the bandit's deployment before the battle and killed the bandit leader.
...Everyone, what kind of behavior is this? In my opinion, this is an act of a man who is both loyal, righteous, wise and courageous! Come on, Wenqi drinks this cup!"
It was truly a supreme honor for Taishou Wang, who was worth two thousand shi, to praise a young man from another county and even offer him wine.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xun took the wine with both hands, but did not drink it in a hurry. Instead, he raised his head and replied seriously: "The king of Wangfu treats the ministers of other countries as the king of other countries, which is really affectionate. But I heard,
A gentleman not only enjoys etiquette but also virtues... I also hope that the prince will fulfill his wish!"
Wang Taishou couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing when he heard this: "I understand...Cheng Pu."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu quickly stepped forward and saluted.
"My county soldier, Cao Rong, recently complained of illness. I have responded to the popular sentiment and relieved him of his duties, allowing him to go home to recuperate. You have accomplished such a great honor, and you can just make up for it!"
Cheng Pu's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he finally became more happy. He immediately leaned over to thank his own prince for the promotion, and turned around to thank Gongsun Xun for his recommendation.
By the way, more than one person has tried to test Cheng Pu's thoughts on Gongsun Xun's behalf these days, and Cheng Pu himself is also interested... He really feels that this Gongsun Chief is a man who dares to do things and can do things, and his background is not bad.
However, the current world is still in order no matter how you look at it. As a young county official with family concerns and a promising future, it is impossible for him to imitate Han as a carefree person just by relying on the words "congeniality".
What happened to the Wu Guan people... To put it bluntly, Gongsun Xun's future was very close at hand, but at this moment he was still just a small official with two hundred dan.
Of course, this arrangement is enough. Because after Gongsun Xun’s recommendation, everyone knows that Cheng Pu, who was previously an official of Gongsun Xun’s uncle Gongsun Zhao, is afraid that he will be branded as Gongsun’s family for the rest of his life.
.
Think about it, you have been recommended by two uncles and nephews, what else do you think?
From now on, if there is peace in the world and someone of the Gongsun family dies, Cheng Pu will abandon his official position and attend the funeral. And if there is such a time when the world changes, so-called disciples and old officials come to join their families, for the Gongsun family
, I’m talking about people like Cheng Pu.
Seeing that Cheng Pu had achieved a result, Gongsun Xun quickly helped him up, then raised his glass and drank, a burst of cheers instantly sounded from the high platform.
On the other side, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, listened to the cheers from the high platform and looked at the pretentiousness of Prefect Wang and Prefect Zhao. He finally sighed in his heart and stood up suddenly.
By the way... don't treat everyone in the world as fools.
Whether Gongsun Xun sneaked into the enemy camp or whether Mrs. Zhao proposed marriage on the street, it was spread by word of mouth, the whole city knew it, and it might not be long before the whole world knew it... So, it was the prefect Wang who didn't know this
Is it because Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, doesn't know the details of this person? In fact, this pretentiousness is nothing more than the father-in-law wanting to avoid suspicion and not being able to praise his son-in-law in person, and Wang Taishou is here to take the credit.
If you need help from others, you will tacitly step in to act as a support person.
As for who to entrust it to? Who else could it be besides Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou?
It should be known that the Han Dynasty regarded the imperial examination system as the official path, and others could do it, but Gongsun Xun obviously wanted to take the Kangzhuang road. However, there was only one thing like Xiaolian every year in western Liaoning, and Zhao Taishou had just taken up his post, and he also wanted to
To avoid suspicion... Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Yue can give Xiaolian to Xiaolian with a stroke of his pen, but what about Gongsun Xun, his own son-in-law? If Xiaolian was really promoted, he might be laughed at.
So what should we do? Is there any way to make our Chief Gongsun become a serious official as soon as possible?
The answer is to find the governor of the state! Recommending talents to the court is the basic responsibility of the governor. In addition to Xiaolian in the county, the state also has to recommend talented people once a year! And because it is recommended by the state, plus the recommended people
Most of them are officials who have already served, so compared with Xiaolian, Maocai has fewer people, is more important, and has a better future!
So back to the present, after all this chanting and fighting, Liu Yu, Liu Bo'an, the governor of Youzhou, sitting at the top... His grandfather served as Guang Luxun, his father served as the Prime Minister of the East China Sea, and he was also a county official. Xiaolian came all the way.
Yes, how could he not know the little thoughts of these two prefects?
Of course, you know, you know, yes or no, you, Inspector Liu, have to say something, right?
So, after thinking clearly, Liu Yu simply stood up and came to Gongsun Xun.
"Uncle Fang!" Gongsun Xun knew that the real drama was coming, so he immediately bowed and saluted.
"Don't be too polite." Liu Yu looked him up and down. "I have heard the name of your Gongsun Zhongkun when I was in the capital. I know that you are the beloved disciples of Wen Rao Gong and Zigan Gong. You will even engrave the stone scriptures to monitor
"Mao's Poems" and "Han's Poems" were all entrusted to your brothers... It's just a mistake, and it's a pity that we couldn't see each other."
"It seems that something happened." Gongsun Xun pretended to be confused for a moment. After all, more things are worse than less things at this time. "My brother Gongsun Yue or my brother Gongsun Zan... I can't remember clearly. It seems that I visited Uncle Fang once.
But it happens that Uncle Fang is not here, which is really a pity!"
"That's it." Liu Yu's expression relaxed slightly, and then he said with a relieved smile. "Not to mention this, you are from a famous family in western Liaoning, with a loyal family background; you also studied under Wen Raogong and Zi Qiangong, and you are well versed in classics; now,
As soon as I returned to my hometown, I heard that the governor's family was in trouble, and he risked his life to rescue him. He was very brave and loyal. Not to mention that in the end, as the prefect Wang said before, he accomplished so many meritorious deeds... I was appointed by the imperial court to patrol Youyou.
The eleven prefectures and counties have the responsibility of recommending talents. When I return to the imperial court this summer, if I can't recommend talents like you to the central government, wouldn't it be a dead meal?!"
As soon as these words came out, the prefect Wang next to him clapped his hands and laughed, praising him repeatedly. The officers and officials of Liaoxi County on the high platform were also happy... They were really happy that the son-in-law of the prefect was taking the road of the prefecture and not taking away everyone's credit.
And the location, can you be unhappy?
On the other hand, Gongsun Xun's expression remained as usual, but he bowed and thanked him politely, showing a moral demeanor!
Of course, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief... After many years of hard work and risking his own life, he finally got two thousand stones today to join forces to support him, but no matter what, he Gongsun Xun
Finally coming forward!
Speaking of being an official, it’s easy to get ahead if you have a backer! You won’t be able to accept it!
The feast was still going on, and Lou Gui was there again. Han Dang refused, and Gongsun Fan was replaced as a county official. Then Wuhuan Shanyu Qiu Liju's nephew Tadun asked for a seal for his uncle, but was rejected, and Mo Hubu was rewarded.
A large amount of wealth... But for Gongsun Xun, these are either things that have been agreed upon long ago, or they are trivial matters that have nothing to do with him.
In this way, two days later, the army was disbanded and returned to its garrison. Wang Taishou also returned to Youbeiping County with Cheng Pu with great satisfaction. Then Liu Yu went to Liaodong for inspection and inspection. Gongsun Xun, Gongsun Fan and others also directly
Followed Zhao Bao to the long-awaited Yangle City!
However, at this moment, the expected angel finally arrived belatedly, and came in several waves in succession!
The first wave was to express condolences.
As mentioned before, the mother of the two thousand stone governors was captured by the enemy in the territory. This is really a vicious incident that has not been seen since the founding of the Han Dynasty. This incident will definitely cause shock in the world.
Therefore, after the news reached the capital, the imperial court, which was unaware of the subsequent development of the matter, sent out envoys almost instantly, rushing to express condolences and appease Zhao Bao, and urgently issued a stern order to Liu Yu and the surrounding counties in western Liaoning.
, asking them to quickly mobilize their forces to rescue the hostages and defeat the invading enemy.
Of course, when this wave of envoys rushed to Youzhou, new news came out. It was just because of the system that they continued to pinch their noses and come to Liaoxi to "condol".
After only a few days, as the latest news was reported to the court, the second wave of envoys also arrived very quickly, with the theme being rewards.
There was no way... The conversation between Mrs. Zhao and her son Zhao Bao before the battle was so in line with the main theme and values of the Han Dynasty, and it was so shocking! Moreover, the final happy ending and the complete military victory also made everyone in the imperial court
Be inspired by it.
So, when the emperor and the three princes sent envoys together, they showered them with all kinds of commendations for free!
Among them, Zhao Bao, in the name of loyalty, bravery, filial piety and having made such great achievements, was indeed directly granted the title of Marquis, with the title of Marquis of Marquis. Marquis is an ancient place name in Qinghe County, where he is currently from, which is quite reasonable.
Then Mrs. Zhao was also publicly commended by the court. Not only did the various states and counties praise her for her loyalty and integrity, but she was also given a large amount of food and cloth. At the same time, a special gate building was built at her home in Qinghe under the auspices of local officials.
...This is probably the origin of the Chastity Archway later.
However, although these commendations were very exciting, they were all taken for granted and even expected. Gongsun Xun never expected that he himself would receive a letter of commendation and recommendation directly from the imperial court.
"Specially selected for being brave and knowing the art of war?" Gongsun Xun was stunned in the backyard of the Amway branch in Yangle City. "And my teacher became a Taiwei?"
"Of course!" This was a call from the Taiwei Mansion, so the messenger who came to deliver the message was not a eunuch, but a serious official of the DPRK. The person in front of him was an official directly under the Taiwei Mansion, so naturally he
Will tell the truth frankly. "Since Gongsun Xiandi is not in Luozhong, he naturally doesn't know what happened..."
"Just last month, the barbarians in Yizhou County rebelled collectively and detained the prefect. Then, such terrible news came from western Liaoning! Adding the two together, the former Taiwei Chen Dan and Chen Gong were dismissed by His Majesty.
, and then our Duke Liu will officially ascend to the throne as the third Duke and become the Taiwei of the dynasty!" At this point, the envoy couldn't help but smile slightly. "And as soon as Liu Gong here took over the official seal, the great deeds done by the wise brother over there were spread to the capital.
Liu Gong raised the case and said that he had known for a long time that his good brother would become a great weapon! On the second day, the imperial court discussed how to quell the border troubles in all directions. Liu Gong, as a Taiwei, requested that the subject of "Brave Knowledge of the Art of War" be opened again, and he was on the spot.
The words of not shying away from relatives revealed Xiandi's deeds... The emperor was overjoyed immediately when he heard that Xiandi was our disciple, Liu Gong, so Xiandi became the first person to open the special branch of bravery and know the art of war!"
Gongsun Xun's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's not that Liu Kuan remembered himself as a bad thing, nor that the "special selection of brave men who know the art of war" recruited by the three princes is a crooked way - this is one of the standard methods of the inspection system in the Han Dynasty, but that this is the case
First of all, wouldn’t all the preparations and actions I had taken on the high platform have been wasted, like a joke?
I had lamented before that to be an official in the Han Dynasty, one must have a backer to get ahead! However, at this time, it seems that I have to add another sentence - the bigger the backer, the better!
"Good brother!" Seeing the other party's stunned look, the official of the Taiwei Mansion could not help but smile and urge. "Don't delay, the bus recruitment is just outside. Please come back to the capital with me as soon as possible! This time
After being reported by the Public Transport Department, I am afraid that my achievements as a good brother will make me famous all over the world, and I will rise to the top?!"
Gongsun Xun opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless.
"In the past, Taizu used a weak crown to establish special honors, and the governor of western Liao Dynasty used his daughter as his wife. It may be said: 'You are a well-known young man with a bright future, but you marry the governor, but you regret it to avoid suspicion and lose the filial piety and integrity of the county!' Taizu
Displeased: "We only choose a mate based on virtue, how can we judge the future success or failure?" A few days ago, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, passed through western Liaoning and met Taizu. He was overjoyed and said: "Seeing you is like encountering a beautiful jade, how can you abandon it?"
Wild land?' The county people all discussed that Taizu was going to promote the state's most talented people, and they all congratulated and praised him. Taizu was calm and composed, not feeling happy. However, not long ago, an envoy suddenly arrived from Luozhong, and the three princes were promoted together, causing chaos in the world.
He knew the art of war with his bravery, and the bus went straight into Luozhong. The villagers were shocked and praised him again, saying: 'The cone is in the bag, and the beauty comes out of it. How can Gongsun from Liaoxi worry about his future?'" - "Old Book of Yan".
