Chapter 6: In front of the palace
The weather was cold, and Gongsun Xun was holding a small dustpan and pinching some shriveled straw to feed the chickens in Shangshutai.
No way, as a newcomer, as a scholar with the least qualifications, can you do it without feeding the chickens? There are some things that everyone actually knows, for example, there is a probationary period for newcomers to work in Shangshutai, and it is impossible for this Cao Shangshu to hand over important matters and responsibilities to you at once...... This is both a guard and a protection.
Of course, Gongsun Xun had nothing to say about this.
And besides, a few days ago, two 2,000 stones that had just been demoted to commoners died in a daze outside Hangu Pass, and that period of fire was going crazy!
It is said that the former lieutenant was really angry, and first ran to Chen Liugao's mansion in Luoyang with a knife to ask, and almost demolished the Gao Mansion as a Qiang camp at that time! And the people who rushed over Si Li and Luoyang Ling who heard the wind didn't dare to move at all.
Later, Yuan Feng's eldest son, Yuan Ji, ran over in a hurry, swearing to guarantee Gaofu, saying that the family had never sent anyone to Shu County to find his brother-in-law recently. Then he took out the genealogy of the Gao Mansion, and then called out all the children of the Gao family in Luoyang, so that the powerful Duan Gong could personally see and analyze it...... I just barely gave up.
However, after this gong circled, I didn't know what was going on, and suddenly aimed at Gongsun Langzhong! Of course, Duan Xi must have understood that Shangshutai couldn't break in, but he wasn't ready to let the other party go, so this veteran general ignored the cold and frozen, and suddenly blocked the door of Nangong today, and was waiting for this Gongsun Xun to come out of the palace to confront him!
Therefore, when it comes to the evening, the head of this Gongsun Lang may not be there, so don't people hurry up and feed the chickens?
"Oh, Liu Gong!" Hearing someone pacing over, Gongsun Xun, who was concentrating on feeding the chickens, hurriedly put down the small dustpan and saluted.
"Wen Qi is quite leisurely, huh?" Liu Tao, the official of the central capital, sighed with his hands behind his back, and the beard under his chin was messed up by the cold wind from the window.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xun immediately prepared to close the window.
"Not necessarily." Liu Tao casually stopped this action. "It's good to be breathable, and it's not boring."
"Whoa."
Liu Tao took a step forward and grabbed a handful of straw from the dustpan, looked carefully at the light outside the window, and then sprinkled it into the chicken pen outside the window with satisfaction: "It's all straw." β
Gongsun Xun didn't know why: "Could it be that the chickens in our middle platform still have to eat grain?" β
"What about millet?" Liu Tao shook his head and said. "Wen Qi doesn't know, I have been a scholar here for more than two years, and I have seen many new Shang Shulang come here to feed the chickens because they have nothing to do, and then some people bring millet, some people bring millet, and even some people bring rice taken from Wudi's hometown!"
Gongsun Xun almost laughed out loud: "That Shang Shulang who fed rice, did Gong Liu kick him out of Shang Shutai?" β
"Nope." Liu Tao also smiled rarely. "That's the disciple of Dasi Nong Zhang Ji Zhang Gong, how can I be embarrassed to pick up people? He just reprimanded him, and then let him stay up for a few more months before taking over government affairs. β
"I see." Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, but he was not surprised.
"Did you kill people?" After throwing another handful of straw out, Liu Tao suddenly turned his head and asked.
Gongsun Xun should not be silent.
"I'm the official secretary of the Central Capital." Liu Taofu said again. "This matter is within my jurisdiction."
"With all due respect." Gongsun Xun replied helplessly. "Tian Yan relied on the eunuch attached to Ah as his general, Xia Yu threw me to death and left, and the two armies were defeated because of their improper command...... In public and private, I have wanted to kill for a long time! β
"I see." Liu Tao clapped his hands, and actually turned around and walked back to his public house with his hands in his hands.
"What do you mean by that?" Gongsun Xun was puzzled. "I just said that I wanted to kill for a long time, and I had a witness that day......"
"What's my business?" Liu Tao didn't reply. "I only thought that you were feeding the chickens next to my public house, because you wanted to talk to me like the previous Shang Shulang, but I didn't want you to just feed the chickens...... But I'm self-inflicted. β
Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while.
In this way, the sun gradually sank in the west, and as Gongsun Xun scattered all the small dustpans, Shang Shutai finally finished the day's work seriously. Immediately, from Shangshu to Langguan, from servant to Changshi, everyone hurriedly retreated after sealing the documents...... There is no way, Nangong is heavy, no one can stay after dark, even Shangshutai and Dongguan have to close the door and leave before the sun goes down.
A few Shangshu naturally took the first step, and dozens of Lang officials were immediately ready to set off in groups...... It's just that, unlike the previous days, the figure next to Gongsun Xun today is extremely sparse.
"Wen Qi." Shi Xie reluctantly persuaded. "It's better to go out through the east gate and avoid Tongtuo Street......"
The so-called Tongcamel Street is the main street outside the south gate of Nangong, and it is also the main gate of most officials after leaving Nangong.
"It doesn't have to be this way." Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "I'm not afraid of that section, doesn't he dare to kill?"
"There is no one in the world who can kill people more than Captain Duan." Shi Xie became more and more speechless. "And the other party is a big man who has been a captain, why do you want to be angry for a while? Even if you hide at this time, no one will laugh at you. β
Gongsun Xun smiled back, but did not answer.
Shi Xie had no choice but to flick his sleeves and no longer pay attention to the other party, but walked forward quickly to chase his teacher.
It is said that the Nangong occupies a vast area, and there are many permanent institutions, and even there are 100 officials who manage the palace affairs on weekdays, but at this time, hundreds of officials flocked to the south gate of the palace, but they all slowed down...... Some people were frightened by Duan Xi and his party who were blocked at the gate of the palace, but more people just wanted to see the excitement.
And after Gongsun Xun walked out of the south gate, everyone also avoided it, highlighting the new Shang Shulang who had fallen into bad luck.
Gongsun Xun ignored these, he came directly to his own carriage and horse outside the palace wall, and met with the servants who came to pick him up, but just took off the instrument knife and put the short knife he was accustomed to in his hand, a shout came from behind him and asked:
"You are the Gongsun Xun?"
There was silence on Tongluo Street for a while, only the cold winter wind was blowing.
"I've seen this elder." When Gongsun Xun heard this, he turned his head and happened to see a gray-haired man wearing a crane crown, so he hurriedly saluted with a knife.
The old man's color changed slightly, and then he immediately raised his eyebrows and pressed the knife with his hand: "Do you know who I am?" β
"I wonder who the elder is?" Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically.
"I'm Taizhong Doctor Duan Xi!"
"I see." Gongsun Xun sighed slightly. "I have admired Duan Gong's name for a long time, but it's a pity that ......"
"What a pity?" Duan Xi raised his arm slightly while narrowing his eyes and questioning, and immediately, more than a dozen strong warriors followed.
"That's right." Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. "Duan Gong called me on the road, thinking that he wanted to make friends with me...... It's just that as early as in Liaoxi, my father-in-law had something to explain, saying that when he entered Luo, he should be an official, and he should pay attention to the word innocence, and he must not intersect with filthy people! Although Duke Duan made great contributions to the country when he was in his prime, he was repeatedly imprisoned as a famous general, and he was already filthy, which is exactly what I need to avoid......"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately dispersed with the wind, and hundreds of officials on Tonghuo Street in front of the palace gate couldn't help but look at each other.
Duan Xi also laughed angrily, and immediately said the words in his heart for these people: "I should have known that you were a daring!" β
"You can't be bold for the general, thank you Duan Gong for your praise." Gongsun Xun's face still did not change.
"I don't want to get into a fight with you." Duan Xi exhaled sharply and said. "I only have one word to ask you today, Xia Yu and Tian Yan were killed by you?!"
"These two people are selfish, tens of thousands of teachers have been lost, and those who have been in harmony have been wanting to kill for a long time!" Gongsun Xun was unceremonious. "Naturally, I want to kill them too...... It's just that it was preempted by others. β
As soon as this remark came out, many people among the officials immediately began to talk about it...... At the very least, most of the officials from the secluded background had some reactions, but they didn't dare to step forward because of Duan Xi's prestige.
"I'm just asking you, you killed these two people?!" After some confrontation, Duan Xi was already three points sure in his heart that his two confidants and lovers did not die at the hands of this person, and they also had some problems with this person.
"Duan Gong is not the lieutenant in charge of investigating the case, so I only have one word." Gongsun Xun still disagreed. "These two should be killed! That's it! β
Duan Xi was so angry that he actually showed a blade directly on this copper camel street: "You kid, do you think my knife is unfavorable?" β
With these words, more than a dozen samurai behind the former captain also showed their blades one after another. For a while, the surrounding officials were so shocked that they retreated one after another, and some even ran away directly, not even daring to look at the excitement anymore.
In other words, it can't be said that these people are too timid, it's just that this period is Wang Fu's minions, and I don't know how many students and officials he has killed, even the Zhongchang servants who are against Wang Fu have also killed two...... The prestige of his people in Luoyang is not much worse than that of Xiliang.
However, he was really bold, and he saw that Sun Xun, the prince of Zhonglang in the white horse, did not change his face, and actually pulled out his broken blade first in the face of more than ten knives, and then shouted and asked: "Duan Gong, Duan Gong, do you think that you are the only one in the world who has a knife?!" β
The surrounding officials were stunned by this calmly uttered sentence, and many people who turned around and fled turned around to watch, and even among the cars and horses that were parked far away, there were many two thousand stone ministers who opened the curtain at this time, and some even got out of the car directly to see.
And Duan Xi held his saber that was only half pulled out, and squinted at the slightly familiar short knife of the other party, and was actually speechless for a while.
"Teacher." More than a hundred steps away, Shi Xie also stubbornly opened his mouth to a dilapidated carriage behind him. "You'd better come out and mediate! If this Gongsun Xun dies in the office of our Zhongdu official Cao, then we can't explain to Taiwei Liu and Lu Shizhong! β
"Wait." Liu Tao in the car replied in a hurried tone.
"And wait?" Shi Xie was speechless.
"Wait!" Liu Tao replied affirmatively. "Wait!"
On the other side, Gongsun Xun stepped forward and drew his sword, still confronting more than ten people, including Duan Xi, and his momentum was unabated. And under the attention of more than a dozen attendants behind him, as well as hundreds of officials, Duan Taiwei, who can be called the most murderous in the Han Dynasty, didn't completely pull out his knife in the middle of the sound.
I don't know when, the surrounding suddenly began to sound the sound of discussion, and the discussion became louder and louder, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, the green tendons on this piece of hands and the white beard under the chin were also becoming more and more eye-catching.
"Draw a knife in front of Nangong Gate, what do you want?!" Just as the stalemate was at a moment, a man in a two-thousand-stone official robe suddenly came out of the crowd and shouted loudly.
Duan Xi and Gongsun Xun looked at each other, but found that the person who came was actually Yang Qiu, who had just been worshiped as a master craftsman, so they couldn't help but be surprised!
"Duan Gong!" Yang Qiu also pressed the instrument knife, directly between the two, and then took the lead in scolding Duan Xi. "You are an important minister of the court, you should know the law, if you want to investigate the case, you need human and material evidence, where can you lead people to show their blades in front of the palace gate? Is this where the law of the state lies?! β
Duan Xi was speechless for a while.
"Duan Gong," Yang Qiu pressed forward again, and actually directly pressed the other party's hand and pushed the knife back, attracting sideways glances from the people around him. "I'm going to be a master craftsman, I don't know before and after this matter, but I'm in Jiuqing, and I categorically don't allow you to do anything here! If you want to kill Gongsun Langzhong, please kill me first! β
Duan Xi looked directly at the other party, but he didn't know how to reply.
"I only asked Duan Gong," after a moment of confrontation, Yang Qiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "When did Xia Yu and Tian Yan die?"
"Four days ago, in the evening." Duan Xi looked around and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"That's good," Yang Qiufu asked again, turning his head to Gongsun Xun. "Wenqi, let me ask you again, where were you on the evening four days ago?"
"Four days ago?"
"Four days ago!"
"The night four days ago, I drank with He Guiren's brother, He Suigao, a lieutenant in the Tiger Ben Army." Gongsun Xun held the short knife in his hand and laughed playfully. "Then we will get drunk together, if Fang Zhenggong doesn't believe it, you might as well go to Hefu to ask him."
Hearing only the three words He Guiren, Yang Qiu and Duan Xi were stunned at the same time...... Where do they not know who the noble man is?
After a little silence, Yang Qiu reluctantly turned his head: "Duan Gong, as soon as you ask about this kind of thing, you will know that this matter will definitely not be Wen Qi's doing...... You're looking for the wrong person. β
In the cold wind, Duan Xi slowly raised his head and let out a white breath, and then took advantage of the last trace of afterglow on the winter evening to lock his eyes on the young man behind Yang Qiu...... It seems that he wants to remember a white horse Zhonglang who is still flashing a knife.
However, as Captain Si Li's group arrived quickly, the murderous former lieutenant finally left angrily.
The surrounding atmosphere instantly relaxed, and many people vented their discussions, and at this time, Gongsun Xun also hurriedly put away the knife, and then saluted this Yang Qiu, who was still a guilty person when he met last time.
"Teacher." More than 100 steps away, Shi Xie couldn't help but look inside the car again.
"It's Duan Xi's knife that is not good." Liu Tao leaned on his car and sighed slightly. "Or is this Gongsun Wenqi's knife superior? What do you think? β
"Both, huh?" Shi Xie said helplessly. "Both!"
"yes, I'm afraid it's both." Liu Tao shook his head repeatedly. "I thought that this Gongsun Xun had hired some helper, but now I know that this kid has long known that his knife is no worse than Duan Xi's, so he will be so calm...... I'm underestimating him, you might as well accompany him to feed the chickens in the next few days, and then lead this person to the Imperial Observatory......"
As soon as he was halfway through the words, Liu Tao suddenly felt a little dizzy, and before he could react, Na Shixie actually dragged the car door directly regardless of etiquette, and then ran to the middle of Tongtuo Street with his teacher.
On the other side, Gongsun Xun and Yang Qiu no longer greeted each other, and fled to the middle of the street like a swarm of hundreds of officials on the street.
"What's going on?" After a few breaths, after being put down, Liu Tao was still confused.
"Returning to the teacher." Shi Xie replied helplessly. "I was afraid of an earthquake just now, but it doesn't matter, it's just a small earthquake, and I haven't seen any houses collapse......"
"No," Wang Lang on the side suddenly interjected. "Between January, the solar eclipse at the beginning of the month, and the earthquake at the end of the month, this is a great warning! Woohoo lament......"
The surrounding officials and officials were also discussing, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
As a famous Confucian in the sea, Liu Tao was confused at first and didn't know what to say, but suddenly, he stared at Nangong in front of him and shouted: "I know!" The eclipse is a villain's dictatorship and violates the monarch's authority! And the earthquake ...... The earth, the yin! This is because someone uses the yin body to practice yang government, so there is an earthquake! The two rose in the same month, which must be caused by a yin villain acting as the monarch! β
The surrounding officials changed color when they heard this, but they were all convinced!
However, after discussing for a while, the officials finally dispersed...... Whether it's writing a memora on the matter, or going back to check if there is any damage in the earthquake, there is no need to stay here.
However, among the gradually thinning crowd, only Gongsun Xun seemed to be particularly excited and didn't want to move for a long time!
You know, he calculated that Duan Xi, who had no authority and responsibility, was a toothless tiger, and then prepared to make a name for himself on this Tongluo Street today! But how did you happen to encounter such an earthquake that only shook twice? It's the interesting Yang Qiu Yang Fangzheng, and I don't know where to run in the panic at this time...... It's boring, and it's a waste!
"Gongsun Langzhong is really transparent!"
"Gongsun Langzhong is really bold!"
At this moment, the two officials who were also thin and wearing the same official uniforms were one who was still a young man, and the other was obviously an older middle-aged man...... But suddenly, they all crowded over against the flow of people and greeted them.
At the corner of the street, Gongsun Xun hurriedly returned the salute, he had to recognize the official uniforms of these two people - they should both serve the imperial history, and this position, if the age, seniority, reputation, and family reputation arrived together, then it can be directly worshiped as a state assassin history!
"I don't want Senior Brother Zi to come too." The younger one took half a step back.
The elder servant Yushi, who was called a sub-master, didn't care, but took the lead in saluting Gongsun Xun and said, "Taiyuan Wang Yun, please give a salute to Gongsun Langzhong!" β
Gongsun Xun hurriedly returned the salute, claiming to have admired the name for a long time!
In other words, he is not a lie, the name of Prince Wang Yun does not just come from the stories in the mouth of his wife, you must know that Wang Yun is forty years old this year, and he is a famous man in Bingzhou who has been famous for nearly 20 years. He was born in a famous family and has a strong temperament, and what he said before can directly worship the person who is the assassin of a state, refers to people like him.
"Gongsun Langzhong doesn't need to return the courtesy." Wang Yun held the other party and said. "Today you are so arrogant, you suppressed the arrogance of the eunuch's minions in front of the palace gate, which is really admirable, do you know that since this person climbed to Wang Fu, there is no one to control it...... For example, today's warning is like a warning, and just now Ziqi Gong even pointed out that it was controlled by the Yin people and the monarchy...... At this moment, my generation is relying on your sharp blade! β
Gongsun Xun exhaled a long breath...... Since he wants to make a big event, then this Wang Yun is a good 'comrade' no matter how you look at it! It's a blessing to be able to make friends with him this time! Of course, this Wang Yun is a bit reckless and a little straight, so he still needs to observe and observe first, and then decide whether to merge with this person, and the province will be implicated by him.
As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun immediately decided to take the opportunity to return arm in arm with the other party, and make friends first, but when he raised his eyes and saw that the young servant was still on the side, he had no choice but to let go of his hand first, and saluted this person: "I don't dare to be this courtesy...... Dare to ask for your name? β
"Julu Tianfeng, the word Yuan Hao." The man replied calmly. "I've seen Gongsun Langzhong...... Punish the eunuchs, at the right time, what does Lang Zhong think? β
Gongsun Xun was silent for a long time, and then suddenly stepped forward, held the person's hands tightly, and tried to lower his voice and replied: "What Brother Yuan Hao said is very true, I want to kill the eunuch for a long time!" β
ββββββI'm the dividing line without a wave of white wavesββββββ
"In the past, Duan Xi attached Wang Fu, willing to be a minion, but the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he was in Luozhong, and the people of the time did not dare to speak out at his present...... (Gongsun) Xun is Shang Shulang, aiming to punish the eunuch, so he is with him. The two tasted the confrontation with the front of the copper camel street, when Xi led dozens of people, Xun Fan was alone, the sky was dark, Xi Nai led the crowd to draw a knife and wanted to do something unfavorable, shouting: 'The children are not good for my knife? Xun Zeng did not change color, and proudly drew his knife and said: "The healthy person in the world, is it only Duan Gong?" When the words fell, there was a great earthquake in Beijing, and countless people collapsed in the official temple of the house. ββ"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
