- Luoyang

Luoyang is actually called Luoyang at this time, because the Eastern Han Dynasty worships fire virtue, so "Luo" goes to "water" and adds "Yu" to become Luoyang.

Luoyang has been the capital since the Xia and Shang periods, although it was later abandoned, but since the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu set the capital here, it has been 160 years.

One hundred and sixty years of peace made Luoyang the first city of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang belongs to Henan County, Henan County has a county population of up to one million, more than the population of the entire state, Luoyang is also the most populous city on the earth at this time, there are two or three hundred thousand people living in the city alone.

Luoyang is the imperial capital, and all kinds of dignitaries and dignitaries also gather here, so naturally there is also a place for entertainment.

Zhuyun Pavilion is one of the best Zhangtai Chu Pavilions in Luoyang, and the people who come here to eat, drink and have fun are extremely noble children.

Yes, only expensive, not rich, here, the rich are not qualified to enter at all.

A carriage came to the door of Izumo Pavilion, there were already people waiting there, and the attendant first put a low stool, and then opened the door, and on the carriage sat a well-dressed middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was about forty years old, with a long body and a great appearance, and he stepped out of the carriage under the service of his entourage, and came to a private room with a familiar way, and when he saw the people inside, he smiled and said, "I'm late, please forgive me." ”

There are three people sitting, one is not tall, the bridge of the upper nose is slightly raised, the eyebrows are scattered, the forehead is slanted, and the length is really not handsome, but a pair of eyes are bright and heroic.

The man smiled and beckoned, "It's too late, you should be punished, sit down and drink." ”

"One cup is enough, at least three glasses!" The other person who spoke was a lot more heroic, but the expression of slanting at people seemed to be disrespectful to Yuan Shao.

"Mengde, you have a good start, and the highway will not spare me, just let me drink."

As he spoke, Yuan Shao drank three glasses in a row, and the three people present all clapped their hands and cheered.

"Mengde, who is this?" Yuan Shao found that there was another person he hadn't seen before, so he couldn't help asking.

The man hurriedly stood up, and Cao Cao introduced, "This is Taishan Bao Xin, the word Yuncheng, and the son of Bao Dan of the late Shaofu." ”

Bao Xin bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "Taishan Bao Xin, I have seen Brother Benchu." ”

Yuan Shao waited for Bao Xin to finish his salute, then he let out a sigh, helped Bao Xin up and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the son of Bao Shaofu, I have heard that you are resolute and strategic, come, hurry up and sit down, we have a fate to meet today, and you and I will have to be closer and more close in the future." ”

Bao Xin thanked him, his father was indeed a servant in the Shaofu, and he was also a second-generation official in front of ordinary people, but at this table, it was really not enough.

Needless to say, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are one of the two great families today, the so-called two great families are Hongnong Yang Runan Yuan, the Yuan family needless to say, from Yuan An has been four generations and three dukes, and the Yang family is even longer, the ancestor is one of the five marquis of Yang Wu, who has been the prime minister since Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and has been three consecutive three dukes after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Bao Xin asked Cao Cao to introduce Yuan Shao this time, in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to label himself as a Yuan family.

And Cao Cao, although the Yuan family is much weaker than the Yuan family, his adoptive grandfather is still a eunuch, but this is a powerful eunuch, serving the six emperors, being a marquis, and Cao Teng is different from other eunuchs, not only does not persecute the scholars, but also tries his best to recommend talented people, Cao Cao's father Cao Song is also ranked in Jiuqing, so Cao Cao is also one of the three generations of top officials, otherwise he would not play with Yuan Shao.

Since the introduction of newcomers must be a request, Yuan Shao also understood, so he asked straight to the point, "Yuncheng doesn't know what position he is currently holding?" ”

Bao Xin said a little shyly: "In the next moment, it is white." ”

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "The white body is good, the unofficial body is light, and the original body is also white!" ”

Yuan Shao's white body is naturally to raise his name, at this time Yuan Shao is over forty years old, but he was raised as filial piety as early as twenty years ago, and then first for Lang, and then as a county magistrate, but first, his mother died and his father was mourned, and he guarded the tomb for six years.

In fact, not only Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao was also hidden for less than two years before, and it was not until three years ago that he was dismissed as a councilor.

And Yuan Shu, because he is Yuan Feng's second son, the power given to him by the Yuan family is naturally much greater than that of Yuan Shao, and at this time he is already in the position of captain of Zhichong, and he is already a middle-level official.

Although he is already a captain of Zhichong, Yuan Shu still feels lost from time to time, because he is not the eldest son after all, there is a Yuan Ji in front of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Ji is handsome and gentle, according to the news in the clan, the Yuan family is ready to push Yuan Ji to the position of Jiuqing from next year to the year after next at the latest, to prepare for Yuan Kui, this comparison, the gap is too big.

Therefore, compared with his brother, Yuan Shu likes to play with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.

"I'm white because the eunuch is jealous, Zhang Rang warned my uncle before, so I can only live in seclusion, I think Yuncheng you are a talent, isn't it a pity to be white, so let's do it, I am going to drink with Zhang Ziyun the day after tomorrow, when you accompany me, I will introduce you, Zhang Ziyun is a close confidant of He Dajiang, with him as a recommendation, I want to come to He Henan will definitely value Brother Yuncheng."

Zhang Ziyun is Zhang Jin, He Jin's cronies and strategists, and He Jin is not a general at this time, but will be a master craftsman, in charge of the civil construction of palaces, temples, mausoleums, etc., with a rank of 2,000 stones, second only to the three princes and nine kings.

He Jin has been blessed by his sister in the past few years, and he has been promoted all the way, but unlike his previous relatives, He Jin has almost always been in the administrative team and has never been given military power.

At this time, the military power was captured by Liu Hong and the ten permanent attendants.

The ancients also understood the truth that political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

"Thank you Brother Ben Chu!" Bao Nobunaga exhaled and hurriedly toasted Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little angry.

Everyone in the world knows that He Jin is Liu Hong's chosen relative, don't look at it now, he is still spinning around two thousand stones, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely take off, and his relatives and eunuchs take turns to gain power, this is the political play of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In fact, Yuan Shu also wanted to make friends everywhere like Yuan Shao, but he was strictly forbidden to deal with He Jin and the party members in the family.

After all, he is the second son of the concubine and has a sensitive identity.

After the matter was said, then the wine could be drunk, and everyone began to talk about current affairs, and unconsciously talked about the most popular Youzhou plague recently.

"Brother Ben Chu has heard about Youzhou recently? Youzhou Thorn Shi Guo Xun wrote, saying that the black plague in Youzhou has been flattened, this black plague, Youzhou dead and injured only thousands, Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju and others for Xie Qi to cure the plague, offering thousands of good horses, cattle and sheep 10,000 heads, Your Majesty Longyan Dayue, and even Sun Zhang, who recommended it, has been praised for a while. Cao Cao squinted and said what had just happened in the court.

"Naturally, I heard about it, I have received a letter from a friend about this matter, Gu said this, the black plague in Youzhou has indeed calmed down, but where is the credit of this Guo Xun, it is the work of Ma Qiang, a mountain and wild sage!" Yuan Shao said with a smile while listening to Xiaoqu and shaking his head slightly.

"Oh? I don't know who this is? I've never heard of it before. Bao Xin asked.

Yuan Shu pointed at Cao Cao and said, "Ah Pu must know that this son has rejected Sun Zhang's solicitation twice." ”

Cao Cao was a little annoyed when he heard this, this was actually after he was a eunuch, but he still said with a smile on his face, "I have heard of this matter, this person has a mysterious background, and others call him Mr. in Youzhou, who is only fifteen years old, it is said that after a hidden school, he is proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia, and now a piece of soap and soap and toothpaste in Luoyang are all created by him." ”

"Such a talent can't be used by the imperial court, it's all because the eunuchs are in power, every time I think about it, Shao's heart is depressed." Yuan Shao sighed for a while, Bao Xin and Cao Cao hurriedly persuaded a few words, and Yuan Shu took a sip of wine and pretended not to see it.
