Chapter 9: Inquiry

The 'original perverted chicken' that suddenly appeared made Gongsun Xun feel a little flustered.

It's not that he was raised by such a mother since he was a child, and he really believes in evil like those people...... To tell the truth, so many things yesterday, from his point of view, are mostly understandable:

You can have one perverted chicken, why can't you have two?

Cracks appeared in the city gate after the earthquake, and it hasn't been rebuilt for decades, and the reports have been sent to my public house, what if it collapses?

As for the seven counties of Jiaozhou, four counties were reversed at once...... This is a hairy thing, a few years later, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty reversed eight states at once, do you know?

As far as the facts are concerned, the crux of this political upheaval is that the timing of the events is too concentrated and the intensity is too great, so much so that it exceeds his original expectations...... It is almost conceivable that a political tide is about to sweep in, and how wonderful the big court meeting will be on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

In short, he almost forced his composure that day and took Yu Shi back to drink...... Then, he just gave a few things in the name of New Year's goods and scribbled them away.

However, as a large number of New Year's goods were really delivered from Liaoxi on the second day, Gongsun Xun regained some composure, and he began to calm down, trying to sort out and verify the response methods and intensity of the various forces in the DPRK and China.

"Eight pairs of bear's paws, twenty cans of honey." The person who was reading the New Year's goods list in a rough voice was a confidant of Aunt Gongsun who came to Luoyang with the convoy, the so-called Aunt Lin. "Ten urns of wine, twenty mink skins, fifty east pearls, five hundred gold ......"

"Aunt Eight, stop." Gongsun Xun, who was watching the snow outside the window, suddenly interrupted. "Don't mention the gold and silver money, is that all there are interesting specialty goods?"

"As Shaojun said, that's exactly the case." Aunt Lin hurriedly agreed.

"Then apart from those extravagant goods, isn't the rarest thing this honey and eight pairs of bear paws?"

"That's true."

"The bear's paw is divided into two pairs, with some other gifts, Mrs. personally took him to He Zhonglang's house, and told Mrs. He to let them send someone to Nanyang to see if there is any snow in the local area, if there is no snow, then after the first day of the first month, the court should send someone to Nanyang to ask for rain, so that Brother Sui can pay attention to one or two." Gongsun Xun still looked out the window and preached. "Let's just say that if this matter can be done by Brother Gao, it means that the Son of Heaven has made a decision in his heart, and their He family can sit back and relax."

"Follow what Lang Jun said, I'll go in the afternoon." Zhao Yun got up and bowed slightly.

"Then there is no need to keep a jar of honey, all the parts will be given to the two teachers, and the bear's paw can also be sent to a pair to Master Liu, no need to talk about the number of courtesies, just pack it up and send it over directly." Gongsun Xun continued to talk without looking back, not paying attention to his wife's inexplicable etiquette in front of his mother's henchmen. "The remaining five pairs of bear paws are all ready, and I will give them away...... Just go with some variegated gifts, and don't add anything extravagant. ”

"Got it." Zhao Yun continued to answer. "I'll arrange it immediately, but who will I give it to?"

"Yigong and Ziheng are divided into a pair; Prince Wang Yun of Yushitai, as well as Tian Toyoda Yuanhao, each sent a pair; There is also a pair of pairs to take with you personally in the afternoon, you don't have to worry about it; The last couple...... Let Ah Fan come forward and send it to the new Shangshu Lingyang Qiu Yang Gong! ”

"Got it, does Lang Jun have any other instructions?"

"Yes." Gongsun Xun finally turned around. "Those dozen or so beautiful concubines of the three Hans, except for the five people named by the mother to Ah Fan, Yigong, Ziheng, Zibo, and Wei Yue, you have to discuss with the eighth aunt as soon as possible, and distribute them to those outstanding righteous servants before the year...... If you don't know their merits, you can ask Ziheng first. ”

"Got it!" Zhao Yun's voice finally became high-pitched.

"And Aunt Eight......" Gongsun Xun turned his head to look at Aunt Lin again.

"Shaojun, please speak."

"Take out some money and give it to the righteous servants in the form of New Year's gifts." Gongsun Xun commanded seriously. "Then, Master Lu is alone in Beijing, and you personally invite him to come to me for the New Year, by the way...... By the way, pick a beautiful concubine with a better personality to warm the bed with him! ”

"Whoa!" While Aunt Lin agreed, she couldn't help but look a little strange.

"Hurry up." Gongsun Xun said as he walked out. "I'm going to eat a little bit, and I'm going to be a guest at someone's house in the afternoon......"

"Whoa!" This time, even Zhao Yun hurriedly agreed.

After thinking about it again, Gongsun Xun didn't say much, but pushed the door and walked out to meet the snowflakes, but only a few steps later went and returned: "There is one more thing, take out the hundred gold now...... Plus 10 Great Eastern Pearls! ”

"Oh?!" Zhao Yun and Aunt Lin, who had just relaxed, were stunned.

"Leave it to Yigong." Gongsun Xun stood in front of the door and added. "Tell him to send him to ...... right away Xu Zi is far away, send it now! ”

After that, Gongsun Xun didn't wait for the two people in the house to agree, so he immediately turned around and walked into the snow and went to the kitchen to forage for food.

The snowflakes continued, and by the afternoon, there had already begun to be two or three fingers of snow on the ground, and if the snow continued to fall at this rate, it is conceivable that when you get up early the next morning, maybe there will be poor houses inside and outside Luoyang City that have been crushed.

In fact, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, when Gongsun Xun and his servants took bear paws, books, colored silks, gold and silver ingots, ginseng and other things, and went out to visit all over the streets like other nobles, many poor people kept sweeping the snow on the roof of the house under the leadership of the lieutenant to prevent death in the middle of the night.

In this situation, although Gongsun Xun's heart is transparent, he can't help but sigh a little.

In desperation, he had no choice but to call an entourage and ask the other party to go back immediately and tell Aunt Lin to buy more charcoal, plus some grain, and give it to the surrounding neighbors in the form of New Year's gifts, so as not to let his home be cold and hungry.

Not long after the explanation, Gongsun Xun had already arrived at the destination of this trip - in front of the gate of Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao.

It's another fairy sound!

"Ladies and gentlemen." In the warm and smoky hall because of the charcoal fire, some people couldn't help but shake their heads. "No matter how rude Gongsun Xun was that day, it was just a sentence of 'Suqin Golden Scripture is full of arms, and no one is immortal', but it is also the end of the elegance of Gong Cai's mansion...... Thinking about it at this time, I was quite emotional. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Another person answered. It is the last two sentences, although it seems rampant, but now it seems that his people do have a heroic spirit, in the Northern Expedition, all the armies are gone, but this son moves forward alone; In front of Tonghuo Street, hundreds of officials were frightened, and they confronted each other with swords......"

"yes!" Cai Yong, who was holding the strings with both hands, finally puffed out his nose and exhaled. "Thousands of words, when the country is difficult, this kid finally lived up to the names of his two mentors, and it is better than those of us who can only play the piano and drink at home all day long."

At this point, seeing what the guests were going to say, Cai Bojiao couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly: "There is only one thing that makes me angry, he snatched too many books from me that day, and almost half of the books in my house are missing." In the past two years, there have been too many things in Luozhong, and I have no intention of re-reading the transcription, so that the East Pavilion of my house is still vacant...... That's it, it's hard for me to pay him any more with him! ”

Everyone expressed their understanding.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter outside the hall, and then another person's high-pitched voice came from far and near, causing everyone in the hall to be stunned:

"Cai Gong! Listen to what you mean, if I give you back the book, will you become a bosom friend with me? ”

When the words first started, there was no trace of anyone in the hall, but when he said this, Gongsun Xun, who was wearing a robe, wearing a crown, holding a saber, and his shoes were full of snow and water, had already come to the hall, which attracted all the guests to talk about each other.

Cai Yong was dumbfounded, but he still mustered up the courage to get up and ask, "How did you get into the gate of my house?" I told you not to let you in! ”

"The gatekeepers in Duke Cai's mansion are not as brave as Duke Cai himself, as soon as I pull out my knife, they will run away with their heads in their hands, so the door guard, isn't it just letting me go in and out?" Gongsun Xun said with a smile, and several family members behind him carried gifts to the hall. "Don't talk about this, Cai Gong, I really came to return the book today to apologize."

Cai Yong swept over the pair of huge bear paws, but couldn't help but ask blankly: "I probably know the apologies, where is the book?" ”

"Here." Gongsun Xun turned around and pressed down on a box that was more than half a person tall.

"Why do you have to lie to me like this?" Cai Yong couldn't help but sit back in disappointment. "On that day, you clearly took away thousands of my books, and used a dozen cars, but now you point to a box and say that you want to return the books......"

Not only Cai Yong, but also other guests shook their heads again and again.

However, Gongsun Xun didn't care at all, but laughed loudly, and then suddenly pulled out his knife. At that time, I was so shocked that these famous people in Luozhong kept silent and sat upright...... Sure enough, there is no sharper way to deal with these people than to draw a knife.

However, after Gongsun Xun pulled out the knife, he did not threaten with words, but easily cut the wooden lock of the box, and then, the two sturdy family members understood, and directly stepped forward to push the box down, allowing the contents of the box to be pushed down in the hall.

"Oops!" Cai Yong was the first to react, and then flew down the hall. "Did you really make your family done?!"

All the celebrities in the hall looked at it and reacted. It turned out that this box of things was really books, but they were all made of Gongsun paper...... Gongsun paper has always been known for its tightness and whiteness, so it can be bound tightly, no wonder this box of paper books is the text contained in the bamboo and wood slips of nearly 1,000 volumes before.

For a while, seeing Gongsun Xun put away the knife, everyone also came to the hall to pick it up and watch...... It doesn't matter if you look at it, it turns out that the font in the book is still the so-called 'one font' when Cai Yong himself engraved the stone scripture, and I don't know how to get it.

Coupled with the black and white letters, there is a royal blue hard-shell book cover, which looks exquisite and abnormal.

So, not to mention anything, everyone praised each other, saying that Cai Bojiao had made a lot of money, and some people even secretly hid the books they picked up in their sleeves, which caused Cai Yong's face to be unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure.

All in all, after making a fuss for a while, after Cai Yong called the servants to send the paper books into the East Pavilion and put away the gifts, there was an extra seat in the upper position of the banquet, and then Gongsun Xun sat down in a dignified manner.

"Wen Qi still has poetry?" After everyone sat down again, Cai Yong was in a good mood, and actually took the initiative to make fun of the past.

"Not to mention a few crooked poems that day, it is not in line with the atmosphere and regulations." Gongsun Xun immediately held a cup and smiled. "I only said that Cai Gong doesn't touch the qin, where did I get Wen Si?"

"You can't say that." Someone below bowed slightly. "Gongsun Langzhong didn't first develop literary thoughts, where did Cai Yilang get the mind to play the fairy sound? As for regulation and culture...... Isn't the style and regulation of the world what Cai Yilang and everyone in the audience say? ”

"Exactly." Someone laughed again. "We also said just now that the short poem of Hakuba Zhonglang back then was quite meaningful!"

Gongsun Xun laughed again: "If that's the case, please don't think I'm overwhelmed in front of you." ”

Everyone became more and more interested when they heard this, and then they looked forward to it.

"Today's winter snow is just beginning," Gongsun Xun said, pointing to the snowflakes outside the hall. "Let's take this as the main thing, let's take two bites......"

A group of celebrities immediately breathed their breath, and Cai Yong also quickly sent someone to get a pen and paper, ready to copy it.

Seeing this, Gongsun Xun was not polite at all, but opened his mouth:

"The ten acres of courtyard are semi-white, and the dead wood is clean and the snowflakes are blooming.

Fuqin Cai Gong has to sigh, the former Du Xunlang is here again. ”

Cai Yong finished putting down the pen, and without waiting for other celebrities to find out the taste, he took the lead in laughing: "Not to mention that you are still complacent, and I don't say that the two poems complement each other." There is only one thing...... Why did Wen Qi bow down to my guests? Your poem that day didn't take everyone in the hall in mind, but today you compare it to the guests in the hall with snowflakes. Moreover, don't you really know, the 'withered branches' on my Cai Mansion back then and today's 'snowflakes' are actually the same people! ”

When the guests heard this poem in addition to self-improvement, they also praised themselves, and immediately clapped their hands and laughed. And after the laughter passed, they all stared at Gongsun Xun, ready to listen to him explain why he had to 'bow to his people'.

"It's not that I'm complimentary, but that I'm talking about things." Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "I looked down on you that day because I was going to go to the frontier and fight to the death for the country, but you were just a fairy in the wind and snow, and the sound of wine and fairy, so I would naturally treat you as nothing. And today, when I come here again, although you are still a wine fairy, all of you are worried about national affairs and lament the current situation...... Today's situation, although it is the same group of people, it is also worthy of my praise of noble people! ”

Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Wen Qi said it well! The state affairs are difficult, the demons are frequent, and it is really difficult for my generation of Confucian scribes to calm down and read the Golden Sutra. ”

The hall was also silent for a while.

Oh, there were people who covered their faces and wept.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Gongsun Xun stared at the crying man and couldn't help sneering. "I just praised you for worrying about national affairs and living up to your status as famous men, and you have done such an act in the blink of an eye, which really makes me look down on you...... Since you all know that the country is difficult, why don't you think about doing your part for the country and the current situation, and instead cover your face and sob? Do you think that if you cry like this a few times, you can cry to death those who have brought disaster to the country? ! ”

"Wen Qi doesn't have to provoke us." Cai Yong, who was sitting at the top, suddenly twisted his beard and smiled bitterly. "I know what you're here for...... These days, you have had close contacts with Prince Yun of the Imperial Observatory, Tian Toyoda Yuanhao and others, and you must have been entrusted by them to come to us to inquire tentatively, right? ”

Gongsun Xun was noncommittal.

"You go back and tell the prince." Cai Yong suddenly said with a straight face. "Although my generation is not in the position of Taiwan, but when the country reaches this position, it will never care about its own rank and peace!" At this point, this Cai Bojiao couldn't help but sigh slightly. "After the New Year, I will be forty-six, but I have achieved nothing, and it has been almost two years since I was appointed by the Son of Heaven as a councilor, but I am just sitting and talking...... In this case, how can they ignore state affairs? At the big court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month, our generation will inevitably denounce the evils of the times and speak bluntly about national affairs! ”

Gongsun Xun didn't say a word, immediately got up and saluted, said goodbye and left.

And when he walked out of the door, Gongsun Xun found that someone was waiting in front of the door early: "Is Afan's side so neat?" ”

"Yes, brother." Gongsun Fan bowed and said. "There were too many people who went to give gifts there in Shang Shuling, so the Yang Qiu Fangzheng didn't come forward at all, just asked the servants to write down their names, positions, and gift lists and sent them away."

"With such a style, I don't know whether to praise him for being informal, or to laugh at him for being unscrupulous!" Gongsun Xun said, but he got into the car with his brother and walked home. "But I also know some truths...... This person is indeed a bit of a fear. ”

"What my brother said is good." Gongsun Fan replied softly. "Shang Shutai is in charge of government affairs, and Shang Shuling is like a prime minister, and this Yang Fangzheng is naturally arrogant...... In fact, my brother is in full swing after coming to Luozhong this time, isn't it also because he is in Shangshutai and is valued by the center? ”

Gongsun Xun smiled dumbly, and didn't bother to correct the other party's misunderstanding and naΓ―ve opinions.

"By the way, brother, what about you in the Cai Gong Mansion?" After talking about his own side of the matter, Gongsun Fan continued to ask seriously. "I was afraid of disturbing your business, so I didn't dare to go in."

"All the best." Gongsun Xun shook his head and sighed. "This political tide is so violent that even this group of the most timid so-called celebrities can't help but write about politics......"

Gongsun Fan nodded again and again: "In this way, I think the Son of Heaven will also be touched...... Will Cai Gong also be in the book? ”

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "Cai Bojiao is not only a famous man in the world, but also a person who has a bad journey, when he was promoted to Yilang before, he only thought that he could soar to the sky immediately, but there has been no progress in two years, whether it is for the sake of the country, but for the sake of personal future and pretending to speak, he will not sit down."

"I see." Gongsun Fan immediately woke up. "I didn't think it was a public and private thing, but I thought less."

"But speaking of which." Gongsun Xun suddenly held on to the edge of the car and continued to laugh. "Ah Fan has also been in Luozhong for more than a year, do you have any ideas for the future? I mean, don't follow these celebrities and talk all day long, wasting your life in vain. ”

"What does my brother think I should do?" Gongsun Fan Zhengse asked.

"I thought it would be better to go back to my hometown and become an official." Gongsun Xun replied calmly. "It's best to do something practical...... Ah Yue's letters these days can obviously feel that he has matured a lot, as if he has exercised in the county government. ”

Gongsun Fan was a little difficult for a while.

"Reluctantly prosperous Luoyang?" Gongsun Xun seemed to be smiling.

"Yes, yes." Gongsun Fan didn't hide it from the other party. "The knowledge I have seen in Luoyang for more than a year is really more than what I have experienced in Liaoxi for many years......"

"But Afan." Gongsun Xunfu pointed to Caifu Road behind the car. "Although Luoyang is good, there are people like Cai Yong who are stumbling on life...... Let me put it this way, do you want to be like this Cai Yong who plays the piano and ink in Luoyang Mansion all day long, or do you want to learn from my father-in-law to be a marquis in the western part of Liaoning? ”

Gongsun Fan pondered for a moment, and became more and more honest and frank: "I want to feed the chickens in Shangshutai like my brother and chat." ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then fell silent for a long time.

At the end of the day, he still has something on his mind. Cool officials, celebrities, Taiwanese advisors, relatives, and even the Son of Heaven, the general context of these people has already been touched and guessed by his Gongsun Xun, and if he can find out the thoughts and actions of the Yuan and Yang families through Yuan Benchu, then no matter how fierce this political tide is, he can also deal with it calmly, be invincible, and wait for the opportunity to make a difference.

I just don't know, can Xu You give some happy words because of his generosity? After all, since Tian Feng and the trial appeared in front of him at the same time, he was suddenly vigilant...... The government and the opposition are turbulent, and all parties are playing, but why does Yuan Benchu, the world's model in the world, keep his voice and breathe and take no action?

Not to mention, his own father Yuan Fengke has always been in the middle of the court, left and right, but it is impossible to guess his mind!

The fourth world and the third duke, not to mention the level of war, how can the means of the court fight be the false name of the waves? !

"At the beginning, Taizu tried to talk to the brothers in private. In the eighteenth year of the reign of Gongsun, Liaoxi was a official, and he said: 'When you receive ten thousand armies, gallop north and south, and become famous.' Taizu stood beside him, clapping his hands and praising him. (Gongsun) Yue Nian 17, in the letter said: 'Ask for a corner of the town, guard the rear, and help your brother.' 'Taizu is in Yanmen, and he grabs his slight jaw and feels his meaning. Later, he talked with (Gongsun) Fan in Luozhong, and Fan bluntly said: "Fan has no other ambitions, and he should be from his brother in this life, which is enough." Taizu laughed and said nothing. β€”The Book of Old Swallows. Biography of the Princes and Grandchildren
