Cao Teng left in a hurry, before leaving, he also deliberately made some disguises, such as putting on a high mountain crown, pretending to be a traveling old Confucian, he really didn't dare to return to Luoyang as a eunuch, although he had a good reputation among the party, but who knows if those scholars who were about to go crazy would listen to his explanation.

He Xiu also sent him off and sent Cao Teng away, and the matter gradually calmed down.

All kinds of evil rumors about the little fat man gradually dissipated, and the target of the fire was once again the Hou Lan and his eagle dogs in the palace.

"You, do you want to worship under the old decay door??"

He Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him, this person was the local youth who had persuaded the scholar before, the young man was a little uneasy under He Xiu's scrutiny, leaned over, and couldn't afford to bow down for a long time, this young man, slender figure, thick hands, resolute face, slightly weaker in style, the little fat man also sat on the side and looked at him, frowning and looking at him, He Xiu taught a Liu Hong to be about to die, how could he accept an apprentice?

"Where are you from, and what is your last name?"

"In Xia Xinghao, the word is ang... It is a person from Hejian County. ”

He Xiu nodded, no longer spoke, he felt that this kid was good, but he really didn't have the energy to teach apprentices again, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Xing Hao bowed motionless for a long time, but his heart was gradually disappointed, he originally wanted to go out to study, increase his knowledge, and finally met a great Confucian like He Xiu, but unfortunately the other party didn't seem to look down on him.

The little fat man thought seriously, Xing Hao, the word is ang, and he looked at this kid with some sudden realization, in these times, he has already cooked the rolling melons on the back of the book of heaven, and constantly reviewed, this guy, he has really heard of it, and he is still a good celebrity, the little fat man thought about it, his name appeared in the "Three Kingdoms, Volume Twelve, Wei Shu Twelve, Cui Mao Xu He Xing Bao Sima Biography".

Seeing the little fat man's expression, He Xiu turned his head, although his memory was good, but he only read the book of heaven once, and there were some negligence in many places, such as yesterday, when Liu Biao said his name, the little fat man already knew that this guy later occupied the Jingchu region, did not respect the emperor's name, as a Han clan, he did not want to serve the country, and only wanted to be his own soil overlord in Jingchu, if only the master's sword was cut accurately yesterday.

But this guy is different, he had a nickname at the time, called Xing Ziang, of course, these scholars always put gold on their faces, and made a lot of nicknames, but Xing Ziang, this guy, is really a capable minister, it is recorded in the Book of Heaven, when he was in office, he encouraged Nongsang, and his political achievements were outstanding, and the people loved him.

The little fat man was just about to open his mouth and persuade He Xiu to stay with him, but he saw He Xiu wave his hand and said: "Old man, old man, if you have the heart to study, you can go to Fufeng, from Namanan County...", hearing He Xiu say this, Xing Ziang was not angry, got up, bowed again, and said: "Seeing yesterday, you can know that there are vain people who are famous, and they are also vain, so I would like to worship under the master." ”

"Manan County, you can learn better than me, you can go by yourself."

He Xiu really didn't have the energy to teach his disciples anymore.

Xing Ziang sighed helplessly, bowed again, and just got up and prepared to leave, the little fat man saw what he said, and then walked out and came to the courtyard together, Xing Ziang said: "Thank you Tinghou for your hospitality, you don't have to send it far." The little fat man said with a smile: "If you have something to say to Ziang, I don't know if it's allowed?" Xing Ziang was stunned for a moment, looked at the fat man who was less than ten years old, and nodded with a smile.

The two knelt directly under a willow tree in the courtyard.

The little fat man did not speak, plucked a willow branch, and put it in front of him.

Xing Ziang smiled and said, "Young Prince, but do you want to stay?" ”

"Hahaha, Ziang knows me, Tinghou is only a man, no one helps, I hope Ziang helps me!" , The little fat man got up and bowed, his face was calm, but his heart was pounding, this was the first time he had recruited a doorman, and he had learned the king's art for so long, and this was the first time that he looked like it, Xing Ziang didn't speak, just smiled.

After all, Liu Hong is only ten years old, no matter how you look at it, he is stubborn, and it doesn't seem like he is talking about serious things, but what is the recruitment of eight or nine-year-old sons? Do you want to play with you?

At this time, He Xiu was in the study, and he was also listening carefully to their words, after all, they were not far apart.

"Do you have a field?" The little fat man asked suddenly.

Xing Ziang was stunned, shook his head in a daze, and said bitterly: "I am Yu Ding." If the child grows up and does not divide the family, the Han Dynasty will levy a heavy tax on it, so the child will be forced to leave when he reaches the age of sixteen, if the rich family is fine, the son of the separated family can still get some land, but if it is a poor family, the eldest son inherits the family property, and the rest of the Ding will find their own way out.

This is how the Han Dynasty's large-scale ranger force came about.

There is no land, you can only wander in your private parts, among them, there are also those who change their identities and become scholars, and there are also those who oppress the people, all evil authors, but there are still relatively few such things, after all, this is not the future generations, oppressing the people, even if the officials don't arrest you, other rangers will kill you, kill you and make a name for yourself, and if you become famous, there will naturally be a family of famous people who will hide you.

Wait, wait for the emperor's amnesty, and you can come out.

The little fat man didn't get the answer he wanted, Xing Ziang's biological mother is from Raoyang, and she is also half of Raoyang, the little fat man sighed and said: "Most of the fields are in the hands of wealthy families, and the poor families have no land to divide their sons, and they have no food and clothing, and you look at the meat eaters, can you pay attention?" Xing Ziang didn't speak, just listened, and the little fat man was also a little nervous, could it be that he was about to fail in his first recruitment?

He really wants to recruit some disciples, you know, the princes of the Han Dynasty, they all have their own princes, a large number of staff and disciples, subordinate to themselves, it is completely a small court, after ascending the throne, you can quickly organize a new court and grasp the power, but recently, several generations of emperors have either been welcomed, or they have ascended the throne without being crowned prince.

Therefore, eunuchs and relatives can continue to control the government, and it usually takes a long time for the emperor to master the court.

Of course, these are all what He Xiu told himself, therefore, if you want not to become a puppet emperor, your subordinates must have their own forces, and the current emperor has no queen, and the little fat man does not know if he will be adopted by the emperor in the future and be named the crown prince, which is not recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and there is no record of when he ascended to the throne of God.

The little fat man didn't know what the emperor should do, but he wanted to be a good emperor, an emperor that both He Shi and his mother could be proud of, and become an emperor who could be supported by the people of the world like the people of Xie Duting, so he really wanted to have his own power! When he saw Xing Ziang, he didn't want to let him go anymore, this person was a fellow villager with him, and he also had the ability, so he would definitely be a good help in the future.

Seeing that Xing Ziang had been ignoring himself, the little fat man decided to make a big move.

"Do you know why Master He refuses to accept you?"

Xing Ziang raised his head sharply and looked at the little fat man, the little fat man raised his head and said arrogantly: "Because of me, I am Liu Hong, the Marquis of the Liberation Pavilion!" The great-grandson of Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang, the great-grandson of King Xiaojie of Hejian! The nephew of the Holy One today! Looking at Xing Ziang, the little fat man took off his robe, but inside was a very delicate black dragon cloud pattern short coat, with python patterns on both sides.

"This is given to me by the Son of Heaven, and Master He came to teach me, which is also the intention of the Son of Heaven! Recruiting staff and doormen is also the intention of the Son of Heaven, do you know, why? ? ”

As soon as this cowhide was blown, not to mention Xing Ziang, even He Xiu also widened his eyes, what is this kid talking about, how could the old man be sent by the Son of Heaven, your clothes were given by the Son of Heaven, but that was also because he was just against the party!
