Chapter 1, Zhang Hao

Next Chapter

"It's been so many days, it seems that I really crossed over, but I didn't expect me to have such a day."

The person who spoke was named Zhang Xiao, a recent graduate of the history department. After graduating this year, he did not choose to go to graduate school and take the public examination, but chose to enter the society, work to make money, and reduce some of the burden for his family, so that his younger brother who had just finished the college entrance examination could study.

But what he didn't expect was that the accident came as soon as it came, Zhang Xiao was hit by a car that ran a red light on the way to the interview, and he lost consciousness at the moment, and when he woke up, he found that he had crossed over and became the only son of a scholar patriarch in Ji County, Guangyang County, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in 180 AD, at the age of twenty, named Zhang Hao, the word Mingde.

The original Zhang Hao was pushed into the water from behind and drowned when he was playing, and the murderer was caught red-handed. When Zhang Xiao woke up, his family was handling his funeral, and he was lying in the coffin.

The moment he crawled out of the coffin, he fainted several maids and servants on the spot. After some explanation, Zhang Xiao, who should be called Zhang Hao now, proved to his family that he was not dead, but he would not say that he was no longer the original Zhang Hao.

Just when Zhang Hao was sighing, a hand reached out from behind him and put it on his shoulder. "Ming'er, what do you want?" The person who came was Zhang Hao's father, Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Hao turned around, saluted the man, and said, "Father, the child is thinking about the assassination of Liu Minggong this time to recruit me as an official." ”

A month ago, it happened to be the time when the counties and states of the world recommended talents to the imperial court, and Guangyang County had a quota of filial piety and honesty, and if selected, he could enter the court as an official. Although he is a Lang official, he is going to the capital Luoyang, even if he is delegated to other counties in the south as an official, it is better than this bitter cold land of Youyan.

The candidate was chosen among Zhang Hao and Zhao Yong, another son of the scholar clan in the same county. But at this time, Zhang Hao had an accident, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what the hell was here, but the murderer had been caught, even if everyone knew what was going on, but people had already dissociated themselves from this matter, and without evidence, no one could take the Zhao family.

Obviously, this time Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, conquered Zhang Hao to compensate the Zhang family, and this kind of murder of competitors under his rule was dishonorable after all, and it would damage his reputation if it was spread out. Besides, now Zhang Hao is no big deal, such a thing can be turned into a small thing, that's really good.

"Well, in the future, when you enter the official career, you must abide by your duty, self-denial and public service, and you must not do anything that damages the lintel of my Zhang family."

Then, Zhang Zhen sighed, and said helplessly, "That Zhao Yong's aunt is the wife of Liaodong Taishou Yangzhong, and it must be that Yangzhong pleaded with the assassin Shi to make such an arrangement." If your second uncle is still here, my Zhang family must not let people be bullied like this. ”

Zhang Hao's second uncle, Zhang Feng, was originally the Taishou of Lelang County, but died early due to illness.

Zhang Hao nodded, "Father, don't worry, the child knows what to do." But he has taken this hatred and shame firmly in his heart. The revenge of Xianggong Fu IX, the Spring and Autumn Period, I am now the new Zhang Hao, this life-threatening revenge, I will definitely avenge you.

……

The day of reporting to the Assassin's Mansion soon came, and Zhang Hao rode a big black horse and set off from home with a few retinues. During the Han Dynasty, because the north has been harassed by nomads, even if it is a literati, it can drink strong wine and ride a strong horse.

Coming to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Hao handed over the horse to his entourage, and saluted the guards in front of the door, "Please go in and report it, you should be conscripted by the Assassin's Mansion, and Zhang Hao, a grass citizen, came to report." ”

The guard clasped his fists and saluted back, "Your Excellency is waiting here, and I will go in and report." ”

Soon, someone came out of it, but it was the person who Zhang Hao couldn't forget, Zhao Yong.

"Yo, isn't this Brother Mingde, I can actually meet you here, it seems that you have recovered." Zhao Yong walked up to Zhang Hao, looking at him mockingly and playfully. "That day, I heard that Brother Mingde was pushed into the water by gangsters and unfortunately died, and I couldn't help but regret in my heart, but I regretted that the court lost a pillar, the Zhang family lost a filial son, and I lost a close friend. Now that I see Brother Mingde so alive, I feel much more at ease. Hahaha. ”

"Brother Lao Ziyi is worried, I'm fine." Zhang Hao looked at Zhao Yong calmly and said.

"Today is the day when I go to Beijing, I remember that there doesn't seem to be Brother Mingde's name on the list, I don't know why Brother Mingde is here?"

"It was the invitation of the Assassin Shi Ming Gong to recruit me to come to the Assassin Mansion as an official."

"Oh~, that's really gratifying, but it's a pity that I won't see Brother Mingde again after I go to Beijing."

At this time, the guards came out of it. said, "Zhang Gongzi, the assassin invites you in." ”

"I'm tired of leading the way, Brother Ziyi, farewell." With that, Zhang Hao followed the guards into the Assassin's Mansion.

The whole face was smiling, and during the conversation in his heart, Zhang Hao had a faint smile, as if he didn't remember the assassination of his subordinates under Zhao Yong's instructions, and he couldn't see the emotion, which made Zhao Yong very annoyed, and he felt that what he was proud of was nothing more than that in the eyes of others.

"Why is this guy a little different from the Zhang Hao I knew before?" Staring fiercely at Zhang Hao's distant back, Zhao Yong scolded secretly, "Little beast, what to pretend, I'll let you know later, since you're offended, then just cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

……

Zhang Xiao came to the lobby and saw three people sitting inside, led by an elegant middle-aged man, who was peaceful and peaceful, giving people a sense of intimacy, no need to guess, he was Liu Yu. On the left is an old man with gray hair who looks to be over 50 years old. And on the right is a handsome old man who looks in his thirties and looks majestic (in terms of current aesthetics), with a resolute face, oblique sword eyebrows, sharp eyes, tall and slender but not rugged figure, although he does not wear armor, but anyone can see that this is a decisive brave general. He noticed that Zhang Hao was looking at him, and smiled at Zhang Hao.

"Boy Zhang Hao, meet all of you Mingfu." As he spoke, he bent down and gave a deep bow. During this period, people did not prostrate and worship, and few people knelt to others except to worship their ancestors. People admire the ministers to worship the king, the king also worships the ministers, we respect each other in etiquette, you don't respect me, it's a big deal that I hang up the seal and leave, and I don't do it.

"Well, no need to be polite, Zhang Hao, raise your head." It was Liu Yu who spoke.

Zhang Hao straightened up and looked directly at Liu Yu without a trace of stage fright.

"Well, yes, neither humble nor arrogant, this official likes confident young people like you. I heard that you drowned before, but you didn't die, so you are a blessed man. Because of this matter, you missed the recommendation of the county, and the official recruited you to come to my assassin's mansion as an official. ”

"Thank you Ming Gong for cultivating. The boy must be ......"

"Wait!" Hearing the old man suddenly interject, several people present looked at him one after another, and Zhang Hao was even more full of question marks.

"This is Liaodong Taishou Yang and Zhongyang Taishou." Liu Yu first introduced this old man to Zhang Hao, and then asked, "Yang Taishou, don't you think there is something wrong with this matter?" ”

Yang finally saluted Liu Yu with his fists and said, "Yu Minggong, this time the old man came to Jixian County from Liaodong, just to take advantage of this opportunity to pick up talents for the country and apply to Ming Gong for some talents to come to my Liaodong as officials. As far as the old man knows, there are no vacant positions in the Assassin Mansion now, but there are many people in Liaodong who wear multiple positions, and there is really a shortage of people, so why not assign this Zhang Hao to Liaodong? ”

Liu Yu heard Yang Zhong's reasonable request and fell into deep thought, but Zhang Hao was a little worried. At first, he didn't react to what this old man wanted to do, but when he heard Liu Yu's introduction, he remembered that this old man was Zhao Yong's uncle. Immediately after the old man's words, Zhang Hao knew what he wanted to do, and his feelings were that he wanted to transfer himself under his rule so that he could wear his own shoes, this rough old man was very bad.

Zhang Hao thought again, the old man said that the people under his command all wear multiple hats, so there must be a lot of rights and benefits in their hands, so wouldn't he rob other people's jobs in the past. The old man can say that this is the arrangement of the assassin history, then those who have been robbed of their benefits dare not complain about their bosses, aren't they all coming at themselves, I am afraid that the old man will not have to do it at that time, and his subordinates will help him take care of himself.

Just when Zhang Hao was thinking about how to refuse, the dignified man spoke, "Duke Ming, there are also several vacancies in Liaodong's vassal country, and I think this little brother is also quite suitable." After speaking, he glanced at Yang Jian defiantly.

"Oh? Bergui also takes a fancy to Matilda? ”

Bergui? Gongsun Chan! Zhang Hao looked at the majestic man with some surprise, this is one of the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao fought for hegemony in the north, although he was defeated and died, he was also a celebrity, and Yang Zhong, a person who was used as a background board in the history books, was completely different.

At this moment, Gongsun Zhanguan served as the governor of Liaodong, and he did not have the courage to shock the world in the future, but he had already begun to take shape. He has 3,000 elite cavalry under his command given to him by the imperial court, so he is not afraid of Yangzhong, the Liaodong Taishou.

"Gongsun Changshi is in charge of military affairs, when did he start meddling in the personnel deployment of the subject country?"

"Hehe, Yang Taishou is wrong, I just mentioned the difficulties under the rule, and I can't manage the affairs of the county, but there is also a lack of clerks in our army to sort out the documents, the counselor military, and Mingde can also go." Gongsun Chan said with a smile.

"You, you're vexatious!"

"Yang Taishou is old, don't get angry easily, what if you get angry, of course it doesn't matter if you are angry, but if it spreads, the world will still think that my Gongsun Chan has done something to you, and it will damage my prestige."

"You, you," Yang was finally angry by Gongsun Zhan's scoundrel's appearance, whether the prestige of my generation as an official is gone, what is the difference between this and a scoundrel in the market.

Zhang Hao saw that the old man was deflated, and he didn't show it on his face, but he smiled in his heart, let you, a bad old man, cheat me, it's better to be angry with you.

"Okay, okay, don't fight between the two of you," Liu Yu was a peacemaker next to him, "Mingde, the two Ming mansions want you to go to their rule as an official and can't hold each other, so let's let you decide where to go by yourself, how about it?" ”

Zhang Hao hurriedly bowed to Liu Yu and said, "At this time, it shouldn't be up to the kid to make his own decisions, everything is up to the Ming Gong." ”

"Well, in this case, the official will appoint you as the county governor of Fangxian County, under the rule of the Liaodong subordinate state, after the official writes to the court and reports to the court, the letter of appointment will be issued."

Seeing that Yang Zhong still wanted to propose, Liu Yu waved his hand, a little impatient, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Zhong had some relationship with Zhao Zhong, one of the eunuchs who was one of the autocratic eunuchs, Liu Yuli wouldn't want to pay attention to him, anyway, I, Liu Yu, am also a member of the royal family, Youzhou Assassin History, just forget about not pursuing Zhao Yong's matter if you gave you face before, you Yang Zhong again and again influenced me to make decisions, do I really have no temper?

"It's so decided, Yang Taishou, you really lack an official to do things, go back and transfer someone to you." Liu Yu said undoubtedly.

"No, the lower official obeys the order" Yang finally lowered his head, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhang Hao also reacted, and thanked Liu Yu and said, "The boy received the order, thank you for the cultivation of Ming Gong." ”
