"I inquired with Ziyang's younger brother Gongsun Hui during the banquet, when the former Han Dynasty mourned the emperor, Gongsun Shuyin's father became a Lang official in the position of Henan Governor, and later became the magistrate of Qingshui County."

"Qingshui County is located in Longyou, Huarong is mixed, and the children of the local six counties are full of martial virtues, which has always been difficult to regulate. However, although Gongsun Shu is young, he can manage the Rong clan and the good family in the county well, and he doesn't even need the assistance of his father's subordinates. ”

"Later, Tianshui Taishou was able to do it because of his ability, and he made him take charge of the five counties, and within a year, he did a good job, and the five drama county government affairs were repaired, and the thieves were not issued, and the people of the county were unbelievable, only the grandson of Gongzi Yang had ghosts and gods to help."

This is the resume of the grandson who was inquired about by the fifth Lun, the second generation of officials and the expert in governing the county, which is the label on his body. In the Wang Mang Dynasty, Gongsun Shu became a guide to the river with his qualifications and achievements, and he regained the name of high energy.

"When I came to Shu today, I knew that this reputation was well deserved."

Fifth Lun told Huan Tan about his observations along the way: "Three expeditions to Ju Town, the barbarians rebelled, and the conquest and conscription caused chaos in Yizhou. A few days ago, when we passed by the capital county (Guanghan), we saw the scene of withering. Of course, there are also reasons for the collection of taxes, but there is also the responsibility of the slack and incompetence of the rulers. ”

"And when I asked where the people of Dujun fled the famine, I found out that they ran to Daojiang County in the west, and they all said that they had a way to live if they came to vote for Gongsun Zhu."

Although Daojiang County has the advantage of Dujiangyan, except for a small area around Chengdu, most of the area of this county is full of rivers and gorges, and the degree of wealth is about the same, why does it become a place for displaced people to devote themselves?

Fifth Lun also had this doubt, but now he understands: "When I came to Pixian County, I found that the fields in the township were not barren, and the people were still cultivating the barren land to plant beans under the urging of the officials, and some places even planted wheat, which is rare in the south, and it would never be promoted if it was not advocated by the government." ”

Under the premise of bearing heavy forced labor and taxation in Daojiang County, Gongsun Shu was able to lead the people to increase production and expand farming. It can even accept some displaced people from neighboring counties, the social order is not chaotic, and the surrounding barbarians have not raised troops, which shows that this Gongsun has done a good job in both internal and external politics.

Fifth Lun said: "Faithfulness and sincerity? Honest and fair? Those who are in charge of the affairs of the state, and the people of the state and county? This is Dr. Junshan's own evaluation. How can you just watch Gongsun Shu like pomp? Entangled in the details, think he is hypocritical? Ignoring their abilities and talents? ”

Huan Tan smiled: "It seems that when Bo Yu was a Lang official, he didn't learn well in prison." The way of spring and autumn? Original Convictions? You're the opposite. “

Fifth Lun retorted: "Those who are evil will not wait to be successful; The first evil person is guilty of the most serious crimes; The straight, on the light? Here's how...... But if there is a person named Zhang San? He has Yao Shun in his heart and is known as Zhongni, but because of his limited ability and clumsy means, he is comparable to a powerful and secluded government? The result was chaos under his control. ”

"And the other person's name is Li Si, who is full of selfish interests? Hypocritical and despicable, but such a person? But let the place enjoy peace, and it will be in troubled times. ”

"Dare to ask Doctor Nian? Zhang San and Li Si? Who is guilty? ”

Huan Tan thought for a while and said, "The former is guilty? The latter has merit. ”

The fifth Lun clapped his hands and said: "However, Guan Zhong and Chen Ping are not of high character, but they can become a generation of virtuous ministers, and they don't care about their deeds, which is also true." “

In the new dynasty, when morality is declining and the country will not be a country, it is meaningless to care about whether a person is hypocritical or not. In other words, it doesn't matter at all whether an individual is morally good or bad. Therefore, Huan Tan did not have a high evaluation of Gongsun Shu, but Wu Lun thought that what he did was worthy of appreciation, and if he changed his position, Huan would definitely not do as well as Gongsun.

But appreciating and appreciating, Wu Lun was a little jealous of Gongsun Shu. Although the current status of the two is like a world apart, he has a faint hunch: this capable grandson is not his friend in the future!

Huan Tan seemed to be persuaded by Wu Lun, and no longer stiffened, but said with a smile: "With Yao Shun in his heart, he is called Zhongni, but he is in a strong and quiet manner, is this talking about Zhang San or Wang San?" “

"My son, your idea is very dangerous!"

……

Fifth Lun did not hesitate to praise Gongsun Shu, but Gongsun Shu was also regretting the departure of Fifth Lun.

Yang Xiong returned to his hometown to be buried, and after Gongsun Shu heard about it, he immediately made a decision and rushed over from the office within a day.

"I have been in Shu for several years, and I have recruited talents to serve as the county government Cao Peng several times, but many people have the former Han in their hearts, dislike the new room, and repeatedly refuse in the face of expulsion, just like asking for a thousand miles of gold, and I can't get it for three years."

"Yang Xiong is like the bones of a dead horse, and I bought his first five hundred gold in order to make an appearance for the people of Shudi."

Dead horses and 500 gold in the city, what about horses?

And Yangxiong's three disciples are also good, Hou Ba is simple, Wang Long is literary, and Wu Lun is even younger and famous as the sixth lieutenant. In the eyes of Gongsun Shu, it is to eliminate it as the superior choice of his subordinates.

"It's a pity, such a talented young man, who is also a sixth lieutenant with me, could have entered me to show his talents, why did he want to join the army and go to the difficulty?"

Gongsun Shu shook his head and asked his younger brother Gongsun Hui to plan and publicize his deeds as a virtuous person.

As a pawn from other places, he stood in Shuzhong, and in addition to attracting local heroes, he also tried to recruit celebrities from all over the world to defect, so as to enhance his reputation - if you want to protect the territory and the people in Shu in this season, you must take the initiative to attack, otherwise you can only sit and wait to die.

Gongsun Shu is looking forward to it, and in the coming year, there will be famous people in Shuzhong who will change their attitude towards him and happily vote after hearing about this incident.

"It's snowing."

When he was thinking about it, Gongsun Hui, who walked out of the house, shouted, and Gongsun Shu also went to the courtyard to take a look, and saw snowflakes falling from the top of his head.

"Shu is hot, it won't snow so early, the climate is abnormal, and people's livelihood may be more difficult."

Gongsun Shu shuddered, and then remembered that in a few days, he would change the "Earth Emperor" to the "Earth Emperor" according to the 30,000-year-old calendar promulgated by the imperial court long ago.

Emperor Wang Mang's original intention was to reassure the people of the world, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this world would only become more and more chaotic.

Gongsun Shuzhi County had a deep understanding that the southern Jishan County (Yueshan County) killed officials and rebelled, the displaced people of the eastern county fled the famine, and the western and northern Qiang migrated due to the climate and tried to enter the warm plain.

The river is like a small boat in the stormy seas, even if Gongsun Shu is skilled in sailing, it is not easy to maintain stability.

"I guide the situation of Gou Quan in Yizhou to be too peaceful, how many years can it last?"

Gongsun Shu's mood was really sad and happy.

……

Every journey has an end, and the four people who shared weal and sorrow along the way finally parted ways.

As the eldest brother, Hou Ba decided to stay at Yangxiong's tomb for three years and devote himself to learning.

Wang Long made an appointment with Huan Tan to visit Chengdu and the mountains and rivers that Yangxiong walked through in Shu.

The fifth Lun had to return to Chang'an a month ago, said goodbye to a few people and hurriedly went north, and only told Hou Ba: "After the mourning period of the master, I hope that the senior brother can come to Liewei County to find me, don't stay in Shu for a long time!" ”

Hou Ba agreed, but in fact, he was still a little moved by the conditions for the expedition offered by Gongsun Shu, and he was also very satisfied with the comfortable climate of Shudi.

At the end of the sixth year of Tianfeng, the fifth Lun had returned to Nanzheng, the capital of Xincheng County (Hanzhong County).

There is still plenty of time, the fifth Lun pondered, when he came, in order to ensure that Yangxiong's coffin was complete, the group took the most mature and easy to prank the slope, but over the Qinling Mountains, the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong was more than that. It's all here, and you don't have to go the same way, you might as well try one more.

For example, Han Xin's "bright plank road, dark Chen Cang" Chen Cang Road.

But when he looked for a guide in Nanzheng, he was mercilessly ridiculed.

"Chen Cang's old way?"

"You're joking, aren't you? There was a big earthquake in the Han Dynasty, which had been blocked for many years and had long been abandoned! ”

The fifth Lun was stunned, and after careful inquiry, he learned that the earthquake probably occurred in the early Han Dynasty and after Lu, which directly changed the topography of the mountains and rivers, divided the river into two, and abandoned most of the old road. The collapse of the blockage along the way, with the productivity of ancient times, it was almost impossible to clean up and repair, and Chencang Road was abandoned.

So what to do? Fifth, Lun's heart was horizontal, so he simply took a long detour to take the "plank road", that is, the meridian valley from the east of Hanzhong to the south of Chang'an.

Speaking of which, since this meridian road was burned by Liu Bang, it was not until Wang Mang took power that the people were mobilized to restore it to its original state.

Fifth Lun heard two sayings on the road, one is that the rebuilding of the meridian road is to celebrate Wang Mang's daughter marrying the empress of Emperor Hanping, implying that there are descendants of Ruiye.

But it doesn't seem to make sense, and the fifth Lun believes in the second kind: the son, and the north also. Noon, the south also. The north and south roads are equivalent, so it is called the meridian ear.

He couldn't help but secretly say: "First gather the four sea counties in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and then run through the meridian through the north and south, plus the crazy name changes in various places, how do you feel that you are using the world as a blueprint to outline some kind of land refining into a big array." ”

After entering the Meridian Road, Fifth Lun found that although this road had been repaired by the New Dynasty, it was still extremely difficult to walk.

The scenery is clearly divided into two, the southern section is full of rocks, the karst terrain is full of hills, the vegetation is also a southern style, and the pines and cypresses are still lush in winter. In the northern section, it becomes a lofty mountain, with ups and downs, and the trees are mostly withered deciduous forests, and the eyes are full of gloom.

The Bald Ridge trail twists and turns around the mountains, and there are countless bends around the rocks within a hundred steps, and sometimes it takes two days to find that it is just from the foot of the mountain to the slope.

The most difficult to walk is the place where the plank road is volleyed, looking up can see the high standard of the six dragons returning to the sun, bowing the head is looking at the back of the river of the waves and turning back, a hundred zhang high, people and horses have to step on the wooden plank road to move forward, the weight is pressed on the top and squeaks, a gust of wind blows and even some shakes, and even the mules and horses that move forward stumble and fall down in the broken place, leaving only a burst of exclamation, and the heavy sound of falling to the ground.

Fifth Lun had to walk against the stone wall several times, and he was terrified by touching his chest with his hand.

In addition, it was snowing again, which made the plank road even more difficult, and he even regretted why he came to the meridian road to find troubles.

He immediately felt quite touched: "This meridian road is like the road I want to take in the future." ”

With the death of Yang Xiong as the dividing line, the fifth Lun took a step to determine his life, it is difficult to turn back, this trip to Shuzhong, may be his last lax leisure, after that, it will be like walking on the narrow road of the ladder, such as walking on thin ice, such as the abyss!

Thinking like this, Wu Lun firmed his pace, moved a little bit, and left this dangerous plank road, at the moment of stepping on the solid land, looking back, the snowflakes were flying all over the mountain, only to know that the scenery was indeed in the dangerous peak!

When he arrived at the next pavilion, he saw that the pavilion chief and the pavilion father were hanging peach charms, and when I asked, I realized that he had been circling in the ravine for a few days, and the time had turned another page.

It's the New Year!

"That's fast." Fifth Lun couldn't help but sigh.

"The first year of the Emperor of the Earth (20 A.D.) has arrived! How many years do I have to prepare? ”

……

Nanyang Chungling Liu's family has never passed the New Year's Day.

But Liu Xiu knew this day unmistakably: the day of the destruction of the Han Dynasty!

Since ten years ago, his brother Liu Xiu has asked Liu Xiu to do one thing today.

As in previous years, Liu Xiu knocked on his brother's door, walked straight to Liu Xiu, who was sharpening his sword in the house, bowed down and said in a low voice: "Liu Bosheng, then forget Wang Mang's hatred of usurping the Han?" “

"Only, I don't dare to forget!"

Liu Xiu is following the example of his husband and not forgetting his father's hatred, and he also asks Liu Xiu not to forget!

"The first year of the Earth Emperor?"

Liu Xuan examined the cold sword in his hand, like a prophecy and a determination, and gritted his teeth and said: "This will be the rebel of the new room, the last year name!" ”

……

PS: At the end of the month, there will be a double monthly pass event, so everyone can decide when to vote.
