Hua Xiong rode a horse and led a group of Sikong officials towards Luoyang. Along the way, Hua Xiong was watching. As the captain of Sili, after arriving at Sili, there was not a single local county magistrate. When Lei came to greet him, could he, a Sili captain, be looked down upon so much? Hua Xiong thought, this time, he had made great achievements in Liangzhou, and everyone said that the emperor might want to confer a title on him.
In fact, Hua Xiong doesn't care about the title. How much is this thing worth? At most, when people come to see him, he will address him as "Hua Hou" with a smile. In fact, he still scolds him the same way behind his back. , it’s useless, it’s better to give yourself a real official position. This Sili Xiaowei is really too low for a person like me who has read poetry and books. Alas, there are no virtuous people in today’s world. Discover this great talent in yourself?
Hua Xiong was thinking in his heart. When he came to the east of the city, he was surprised to find that there were no pedestrians on the road. From a distance, he could see green caps, many flags, and many carriages and horses. Hua Xiong's big Fortunately, someone finally came to greet him. He straightened his clothes and rushed towards the city gate solemnly. There were also many people waiting for him. When they saw Hua Xiong coming, they all walked towards him.
The leader was none other than Liu Mastiff.
By his side, there were Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, and Jiu Qing behind him. Almost all the officials came. Hua Xiong was so moved. He didn't expect that he was so valued, and so many people were paying attention to him. To greet them, Hua Xiong got off his horse and hurriedly walked forward. Facing everyone's astonished eyes, he smiled and said: "Please welcome me!! Thank you! Thank you! Your Highness!!"
He bowed his hands in greeting, but everyone was shocked. Liu Mastiff's eyes widened and he asked: "Uncle Hua??? Aren't you in Liangzhou to provide disaster relief?"
"The disaster situation has improved. Why did the emperor ask me to come back? Aren't you here to welcome me?"
Hua Xiong asked a little confused, but Liu Mastiff was a little embarrassed and said in embarrassment: "I didn't know that my uncle came back at this time and I hope to forgive him." Hua Xiong smiled and shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, then. Just keep waiting. His Majesty asked me to go see him, so I have to go there quickly. Who are you waiting for?"
"We are waiting for Mr. Cao."
"Cao Cao?"
"Exactly."
Hua Xiong nodded, and then led everyone directly into the county town. Looking at Hua Xiong walking away, Liu Mastiff still felt that he should find a time to apologize. It was really embarrassing. Of course, Hua Xiong didn't think so. On the contrary, he was a little secretly happy. This time, all the officials came to greet him. He was worthy of being a great talent in the court. With this in mind, he asked the Sikong officials to return to the mansion, while he went directly to the palace.
He rushed to the palace and was familiar with the road. However, Su Wei still stopped him, looked at him carefully, and searched. If it was another two thousand stones, and he was so favored by the emperor, they would never dare. But Hua Xiong was different. Ah, they didn't know if this unique Liang Qianshi would want to bring some strange things into the palace again. Seeing how vigilant they were, Hua Xiong just cursed a few words angrily, and then put those things away. The iron instrument was handed over.
Entering the palace, he walked all the way towards Houde Hall. Huangmen followed him, but he could hardly keep up with Hua Xiong. Huangmen secretly cursed this Xiliang barbarian in his heart. He was so disrespectful. The ministers in the palace would have to lower their heads and walk around. You're a pacing fellow, it's fine if you don't just walk forward, but you're leading someone away??? Hua Xiong rushed all the way to the Houde Hall. He didn't even wait for the Huangmen to report, but he ran into the hall, where the emperor was sitting with his papers. When the memorial was being reviewed, Hua Xiong barged in like this, shocking the emperor.
The emperor wanted to reprimand him, but he looked at Hua Xiong who was grinning in front of him, waiting for him to praise him. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He couldn't bear to reprimand such a fool. The emperor stood up helplessly and said: "Hua Xiong
The captain is here!? Come and sit down!" Hua Xiong sat in front of the emperor. The emperor praised: "This time, you went to Xiliang. There were no casualties among the people. The disaster situation has improved and the new city is gradually rising. I am really pleased!
"
"You are a great talent!"
Hua Xiong then laughed proudly, acting like a naughty boy, and said: "Your Majesty, this is not the result of one person, but because of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty did not discover my talents and did not let me go to disaster relief, I would also
You can’t make such a big contribution.”
"What Aiqing said makes sense, makes sense."
The emperor thought for a moment and said: "This time, you have done well. I am going to give you a marquis, the title of rural marquis. How about it?"
Hua Xiong shook his head seriously and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be named a marquis, I want to be an official."
"Hahaha, okay, what kind of official do you want to be?"
"I heard that Duke Situ Lu died, and I thought that I could take his place and command all the officials!" Hua Xiong said solemnly, and patted his chest. The emperor opposite him was stunned and widened.
Huang Men, who was standing at the door with his eyes closed, almost couldn't help laughing. You're such a fool, and you still want to be a Situ? If the emperor doesn't scold you bloody, he'll pounce on you and beat you if you don't dare!
!
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Do you really want to be a Situ?"
"yes!"
"why?"
"Recently, I have read a lot of books. I can't read these books in vain. After reading books, I know a lot, so I have to use my talents!"
"Hahaha, it makes sense." The emperor nodded and said: "However, this Situ must know the local harvest, the amount of land, be proficient in taxation, know the disasters in various places, and know the land situation in the world.
, responsible for measuring things, have you already learned all these?" When the emperor asked, Hua Xiong was a little stunned, "So you have to know so many things? I have no idea at all."
"It's not too late now. You serve as the captain of Sili. This Sili is the most prosperous area in the world with the most cultivated land. You can first measure Sili's cultivated land. You can be a little Situ and deal with Sili's situation first.
If you can bring Sili to great power, make Sili more prosperous, and learn these things, I will let you serve as Situ, what do you think?"
"real???"
"Of course, how could I lie to you!"
"Okay! I will definitely learn this!"
"Hahaha, okay, after you finish studying, come and tell me!"
"Here you go!"
When Hua Xiong left, Huangmen was shocked. Could it be that the emperor really wanted this guy to serve as Situ? He thought, but the emperor stopped him. The emperor asked with some confusion: "Hanmen's illness
Isn't it better yet?" Xiao Huangmen said quickly: "The country has not recovered yet."
"Okay, let the imperial doctor order us to see him again."
When Hua Xiong left the Hall of Houde, he felt full of ambition and wanted to return to Sili Xiaowei now. After thinking about it, he should go see Huangfu Song, and immediately rushed towards the Military Academy and arrived at the Military Academy.
At that time, the Military Academy was empty. This group of students were still serving as officials in various places and had not returned. The Military Academy did not recruit a new batch of students, so it seemed a bit empty. He walked all the way towards Huangfu Song's camp.
After entering the camp, Huangfu Song was nowhere to be seen. This surprised Hua Xiong. Wasn't he here all day long? Where had he gone?
He searched around and heard the sound of reading in a tent, so he walked in. When he walked into the tent, Hua Xiong was startled. Isn't this Lu Meng? How could he be studying here? Lu Meng Seeing Hua Xiong, he stood up hurriedly and paid his respects to the sacrificial wine. Hua Xiong asked in confusion: "Why are you?? Are you studying here??"
"Yes, Hua Jijiu, I failed to pass the assessment, so I stayed and prepared to continue studying with the next batch of students!" Lu Meng said frankly, Hua Xiong nodded and praised: "You are very good. If you have the courage, take part in the next assessment. As long as you pass, I will recommend you personally!"
"Thank you Captain!"
"By the way, where is Mr. Huangfu? Where has he gone?"
"It seems that Mr. Huangfu left because something happened at home."
Hua Xiong nodded and told Lu Meng to study hard, then left the military academy and went to Huangfu Song's residence.
Arriving at Huangfu Song's mansion, Hua Xiong knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out to open the door. Hua Xiong was a little confused and knocked for a long time. Then an old slave opened the door tremblingly, showed his head, and looked at Hua Xiong looked at the man in front of him for a long time before asking, "What's the matter with you?" Hua Xiong smiled and said, "I'm here to see General Huangfu. Is he in the house? I'm his good friend, Hua Xiong. Lieutenant Colonel!"
After he finished speaking, the old slave said: "General Huangfu has taken a rest. Please come back another day."
Hua Xiong subconsciously felt something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. The old slave was startled and wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. Hua Xiong walked directly into the mansion. There were some things in the mansion. It was dirty and messy, and it didn’t look like a mansion with two thousand stones. Hua Xiong walked all the way to the inner courtyard, and it was even more messy. Hearing the noise, he walked into the study. In the study, Huangfu Song was sitting in front of the desk, wiping himself. My beloved repeating crossbow.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his head angrily and was about to curse. When he saw that the person coming was Hua Xiong, he stopped and said, "You're here."
Hua Xiong looked around. The surroundings were in a mess. The traces of rummaging through boxes and cabinets were very obvious. Huangfu Song seemed to be dozens of years older. His whole person had become a little decadent. There was a lingering sadness on his face. When he saw With his appearance like this, Hua Xiong frowned, sat in front of him, smelled the strange things around him, and asked: "Your elder brother Fu San??"
"How do you know? You too"
"Previously, Lieutenant Yuan also ate this thing to relieve pain. I know the taste."
Huangfusong smiled bitterly and said: "This guy, while I was not in the mansion, beat the servants in the mansion, and took away the money in the mansion. One mother is a compatriot, one mother is a compatriot, how can the difference be so huge?" Huangfu Song shook his head. The head said: "My youngest son is now an official outside. His salary must be sent to me first every time, but this little thing has to be snatched away by his elder brother."
"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, the family is ugly, if word spreads, where will the Huangfu family's face be put?"
Huangfusong said painfully.
"How many words do you want me to say to him?" Hua Xiong asked.
"No need to trouble you, I'll do it myself"
"When did you come back?"
"I came back today. I just went to see the emperor. The emperor said that he wants me to be a Situ!"
