The study room is very large, there are few study rooms of this scale in Luoyang, the bookshelves are full of all kinds of books, no matter what kind of books, they can always be found here, even the hidden husband theory, the books of the future generations, etc., are not considered to be the only books here, in the southernmost part of the study, it is actually a little dark, just because there are too many books around, piled up to the top, only the west side leaves a gap for one person.

In this darkness, the old man sitting here alone, slowly raised the chess pieces in his hand, in front of him, there is a chess game, the old man holds the chess in his hand, and he doesn't know how long he was stunned, finally, the chess pieces fell, but there was no smile on his face, and in front of him, there was no one, extremely weird.

Two young people rode fast horses, dressed as rich people, chatting all the way, and drove towards the city gate of Luoyang, one of them, younger, all the way he was talking, his posture was prodigal, quite the style of the deceased servant, and the other, a little older, the whole person was also relatively calm, holding his beard, listening carefully to the words of his friends on the side, without saying a word.

"Axiom, you are a little carried away, this is Luoyang, the center of the temple, here, you had better maintain a little awe, in short, you are a servant, in this Luoyang, it is not much of a thing, there are more than a dozen servants in the temple, when you meet the ministers, it is better to be respectful...", finally, the older one still spoke.

Zhong Changtong smiled, "Yuan Zhi, don't you know me?" I have been following Xing Gong for a long time, I have always been respectful and courteous, and I have won the teachings of Xing Gong, you don't have to worry, I will not be rude to my ministers..."

Xu Shu didn't know if he believed his words, glanced at him, and said: "Enter the city later, go to my mansion to settle down first, and then go to Shangshutai to meet Xun Linggong, then to meet Lu Linggong, and finally to meet Zhuge Linggong...", Zhong Changtong shook his head, "Don't worry, we will meet sooner or later, it is rare to return to Luoyang, these days, let's go around Luoyang." ”

"If Xun Linggong learns that you have arrived here, but you don't go to see him, you will inevitably be blamed."

"How can Xun Linggong blame me? You, the prejudice against Xun Linggong in my heart is still too big, in the temple, he is only a gentleman, don't think about him like that, if it weren't for his gift, how could I have the opportunity to come to Luoyang? Zhong Changtong grinned, he was in a good mood, how many years, he was pressed in the position of Taishou, and he couldn't come to this Luoyang for a long time.

Every year, his political achievements are the best in the Han Dynasty, and the promotion in all aspects, which Taishou can't compare to him, but that's it, he still can't be reused, just because of his various remarks, he doesn't respect ghosts and gods, no, he hates ghosts and gods, he doesn't believe in the doctrine of destiny, and openly argues with the ram, and a major core of the ram is the destiny of heaven.

And several emperors starting from Emperor Xiaokang were all born from rams, and he, a person who was hostile to the ram and repeatedly insulted the ram for deceiving people... It is also very normal not to be promoted, in these years, he has not been besieged by the ram, or because of his teacher, he took Xing Ziang as his teacher, and Xing Ziang is a disciple of He Zi, and the ram has regarded his anti-destiny theory as a battle within the ram, and has not attacked it in groups.

When He Xiu commented on the Ram Biography, he reflected on the many internal struggles of the Ram in the past, and believed that these were the root causes of the loneliness of the Ram Study, so he left a relaxed internal environment for the Ram, anyone can annotate the Ram Biography and express their own opinions, and the Ram disciples can not fight because of internal suggestions and discord, if they are angry, they will go to beat Gu Liang, and they should not do anything to their own family.

In this regard, only Gu Liang said that he was very confused, but the ram did not have much opinion.

Yuan Shu, Cui Yan, and Cao Chong have a world of difference in their understanding of the ram, even so, the protégés of these factions are also amiable when they meet.

Zhong Changtong's things are not so serious, the most serious thing is that he is clamoring for the name of rejuvenating the country with business, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is the foundation of the country, and this guy scolds the country every day, and it is also the Son of Heaven who values his talent, otherwise, if you change someone, I am afraid that I have been eating tea in the embroidery prison at this moment, and after many years of hard work, Zhong Changtong has actually been promoted, and he has been promoted to a servant with merit.

On weekdays, this is a major event that shocks the government and the opposition, but now all the thoughts of the ministers are on this Juntian system, but they have relaxed the suppression of Zhong Changtong.

Zhong Changtong, who rushed to Luoyang, only felt that the shackles on weekdays were gone, and he was very relaxed, looking at the huge city in front of him, he almost couldn't help but let out a long howl, he was extremely excited, and he was very grateful to Xun Yu who promoted him.

Xu Shu said disdainfully: "One promotion bought you? Don't forget, to fulfill your ambitions, he is our worst enemy. ”

Zhong Changtong also calmed down, "The future of the Great Han, in our hands, Nongsang may be the foundation of the Great Han, but it is definitely not the way out for the future of the Great Han, you can rest assured, I am very grateful to Xun Linggong, thank him for discovering my talent and benefiting the Great Han, but I will not get close to him." ”

"You are really modest..", Xu Shu sneered and praised him.

The two were chatting and came to the gate of the city, when they suddenly saw a fat man rushing out of the crowd and shouting excitedly: "Zhong Changjun!" Xu Jun!! The fat man was sweating profusely, panting, waving his hand, his voice was loud, Zhong Chang was stunned, glanced at Xu Shu, and immediately dismounted, of course they knew this person, and they had a good relationship.

"Liu Jun?"

"Why are you here?" , Zhong Changtong stepped forward cordially, smiled and greeted Liu Yi, in front of him was the imperial prince Liu Yi, Liu Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said helplessly: "I'm busy, why are you here?" Oh, by the way, you've been appointed as a servant..."

"Haha, I thought Liu Jun was here to pick me up, but Bai was excited." , Zhong Changtong said with a smile, this person is indeed respectful and polite to others, and he definitely can't see the demeanor of a madman, and on weekdays, he will never be angry and scold, unless he meets a Fang Shi or the like.

"Well, how do I know when you're coming, you don't know, these days, I'm so tired that I'm almost dying... Luoyang is going to be expanded, it is going to be divided into two, and I have also been appointed as Henan Yin, and now, these two counties are under my jurisdiction..."

"Split in two?"

"Yes, there are too many people in Luoyang, and it will be divided into two counties."

The two talked for a long time, Xu Shu just watched them talk, and didn't speak, Liu Yi personally sent the two of them into the county seat, and then said: "These days, I have arranged for the transfer of officials at the city gate, but I can't spare it, I will go to your mansion another day and visit in person...", Zhong Changtong nodded with a smile, and the two separated.

After entering the county seat, Xu Shu opened his mouth and said: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, so many people saw you and Liu Yi together, and those officials also heard Liu Yi's title, the news of your arrival in Luoyang has already spread, or go to the sacrificial mansion to report it honestly." ”

"Well, it's okay, anyway, it will take a few days for the slave entourage to arrive, just go to the sacrificial mansion to have a look...", Zhong Changtong agreed to Xu Shu, the two didn't know the way yet, asked a few people, and then led the horse to the sacrificial mansion, along the way, Zhong Changtong really understood why Liu Yi wanted to divide and rule Luoyang, and it was difficult to come and go in the crowded Luoyang.

This has to be divided.

When the two of them arrived at the sacrificial mansion, more than an hour had passed, and it was not so difficult to rush from Liangzhou to Luoyang, Zhong Changtong walked to the door, this is a relatively remote area, and there are still not many people coming and going, of course, compared to other areas, Zhong Changtong shouted: "The servant of the sacrificial mansion shoots to, you can come out to greet you!" ”

Just shouted, I heard someone in the house exclaimed, it didn't take long, a group of people rushed out, Zhong Changtong looked at these people seriously, there were about twenty people, these people were wearing official uniforms, seeing Zhong Changtong in front of him, hurriedly attached himself and bowed, Zhong Changtong hurriedly returned the salute, only then someone stepped forward, took the reins, Zhong Changtong said thank you.

The officials were pale and looked very frightened, but Zhong Changtong turned a blind eye and led everyone into the palace.

One person followed him, among all the people, this person is the most calm, not young, with a long beard, there is a kind of style of not being angry and arrogant, I saw this person open his mouth and said: "Subordinate Yang Lian, the word Meng Qing... Served as the priest of the house. The man's voice was hoarse, but Zhong Changtong glanced at him with some curiosity, and then asked, "Then I will have to bother Your Excellency to support him a lot." ”

"Don't dare."

Xu Shu followed behind Zhong Changtong, everyone thought it was an entourage, so they didn't care, Zhong Changtong sat in his place, everyone sat down, he saw Xu Shu sitting at the end, just about to speak, he saw Xu Shu shook his head, and he didn't call him to come, smiled, and then said: "I call Zhong Changtong, and I will deal with you in the future, and I hope you can help you a lot." ”

Everyone didn't even dare to say it, and they introduced themselves one after another, and Zhong Changtong didn't know why, these people seemed to be a little afraid of themselves.

"Well, I already remember you, but I just came to the sacrificial mansion, I don't know about the sacrificial mansion, who can explain a thing or two to me?" Zhong Changtong asked, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, no one spoke again, Zhong Changtong looked at them with some doubts, but he still looked at Yang Lian on the side, and asked, "Yang Jun can speak?" ”

Yang Lian nodded, and then said: "The sacrificial mansion is responsible for the sacrificial affairs, but whenever the army is out, or natural disasters, or even hunting, when the harvest is harvested, the three orders of the Son of Heaven need to be sacrificed, and that is the time for us to act." ”

"Oh... In other words, we are mainly responsible for deceiving people? Zhong Changtong asked with a smile.

Everyone was speechless, Yang Lian thought for a moment, and then said: "In addition, we are also responsible for all the religions in the country, Futu, Fangshi and the like, all of which are under our jurisdiction, and only with our permission, they can build temples, for some activities, such as the bathing and floating slaughter meeting in Xuzhou, and the Heavenly Priest Association in Yizhou, we need to send people to carry out..."

"Hahaha! That's great! It turns out that he is also responsible for fighting counterfeits! Zhong Changtong clapped his hands excitedly, then looked at everyone, and said happily: "From tomorrow, the sacrificial mansion will officially start operating, you will call all the officials of the sacrificial mansion, I have something to order!" ”

"But, Zhong Changjun, all the officials of our Sacrifice Mansion are here...", one of them said in a low voice.

"Huh? Just you guys?? Then how can we do the things of the sacrificial house? No, it's too little, so you go and recruit a hundred people to find some strong ones, and in addition, go to the military palace and ask for some ordnance..."

"Zhong Changjun... We are in charge of the sacrifices... This.. This.. What is the use of ordnance to be strong? The words of the officials trembled.

"The sacrifices in the world are all under our control, so the suppression of yin rituals should also be governed by us, right?"

"yes..."

"We recruited these people to eliminate the Yin Rite!"

ps: Thank you very much for being the leader of the alliance that I am already a salted fish, thank you very much.
