Chapter 5 The Year is in Jiazi
It's time to say that the year of Jiazi is here.
In January, Gongsun Xun, as the chief guard of a county, mainly did three trivial tasks.
First of all, it was ruthlessly suppressed a group of powerful and powerful people.
As a promising 2,000 stones, it is not unusual to do this kind of thing, but Gongsun Xun was too eager and too fast this time, and almost as soon as he arrived, he directly used the most brutal means - the family used to kill chickens and monkeys was actually put on the name of rebellion, and then the whole family was executed!
It's not that no one is worried about this matter, so the trial made a special admonition...... His meaning is very clear, this is Youzhou, your family and yourself have always had a high reputation here, there is no need to be so rude, you can add both virtue and make things beautiful.
In this regard, Gongsun Xun's reply was: "When the time comes, there will be changes!" I'm fast! β
These words are inexplicable, but Zheng Nan is a smart person, although some things he is not as clear as Lu Fan Lougui, but at this time, recalling some of Gongsun Xun's past actions and this rush to office, he also woke up a little, and immediately shut up.
And when they have always advocated that the trial of the rules of the clan Haoyou does not speak, these local Haoyou in Nazhuo County are really helpless for a while...... Because as the judge said, although the place of Zhuojun is next to Zhongshan, it is already the place of Youzhou, and the influence of the Gongsun clan here, coupled with the reputation of Gongsun Xun himself, is not comparable to other places at all!
If you add the blessing of the dignified identity of the county like the king of a country, then not to mention doing whatever you want, at least these people are in front of Gongsun Xun, just like those Luzuo civilians in front of them...... Why should the so-called weak resist?
As a result, the group of wealthy people in Zhuojun were dumbfounded, and they had no choice but to let the government send their money, grain, cloth, livestock, and various materials into the government treasury by a robbery-style means.
Then he hid in his house and shivered, and he did not even dare to go up the street.
The second thing is to recruit rangers and prepare county guards.
It's easy to understand the preparation of the county guards, but the selection of rangers...... Youzhou's rangers are famous all over the world, Liu Bei, Jian Yong, and Zhang Fei are actually standard Youzhou rangers. Compared with the southern rangers, this is not to say that they are less afraid of death, but that they generally have one more horse than the southern rangers, and some will have one more long soldier, and they generally respect military merit more.
And this time Gongsun Xun did not cut it all, on the one hand, he dealt with and rounded up those 'rogue rangers' in the city, and on the other hand, he openly played the banner of recruitment, and went to the countryside to collect those reputable ranger gangs.
The former cannot be rounded up without rounding up, because once chaos breaks out, these scoundrels who depend on the city will soon become the source of unrest, and as for the latter...... Its purpose is self-explanatory.
It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Xun handed over this matter to the new thief Cao Peng Liu Bei to deal with...... It can only be said that the latter, as a local head snake, is indeed the best candidate for this matter.
The third thing is to inspect spring ploughing.
This year, the weather has warmed up relatively quickly, so since the middle of January, there have been people trying to plow and try to plough, and as the newly appointed Taishou, Gongsun Xun almost the whole process in the north of the county from Liangxiang to the west of the county to inspect the spring ploughing.
From the perspective of several henchmen, they thought that their monarch was sending them outside and tightening them inside, and deliberately paralyzed the increasingly dense Taiping Dao eyeliner. However, what they never expected was that Gongsun Xun himself did not say that the latter was really seriously supervising spring ploughing!
Because, after arriving in Zhuo County, Gongsun Xun suddenly discovered one thing, that is, the local Taiping Dao power in Youzhou is far inferior to Jizhou...... This point can be seen from the word 'Jiazi' on the gate of the government in various places!
For example, here in Zhuo County, Sun Xun, the Gongsun Xun of Fanyang City in the south, saw with his own eyes that these two words were written on the gate of the official temple, but there was no trace of these two words in the large and small official temples in Zhuo County! Then, the people sent out reported that it was said that there was Fangcheng on the southeast side of Zhuo County, but there was no Liangxiang in the north.
So, Gongsun Xun hurriedly sent people to the neighboring county to check, but found that it was similar - next door to Guangyang County, Anci in the south, Jixian County in the middle (later capital) has these two words, but Changping City in the north does not; Further east to Yuyang County, there are Quanzhou and Yongnu in the southeast, but there are no fox slaves and Anle in the northwest, as well as Yuyang City where Gongsun Chan served!
Next, Lou Gui's secret investigation of the local Taiping Dao forces also echoed this statement, as far as is known, a state as large as Youzhou actually has only one Dafang and a small Fang of Taiping Dao, and then they all gather in the southeast corner of Youzhou, and there is not much power in the north at all.
This is of course understandable, because in the entire eleven counties of Youzhou, ten of them are border counties! In the border counties, we must guard against the Xianbei people, the Wuhuan people, and the miscellaneous people...... The local powerful clans are generally willing to give up a small profit in exchange for the unity of the lower classes.
In other words, for most areas of Youzhou, the local ethnic contradictions and border troubles have effectively alleviated the class contradictions!
In fact, Gongsun Xun had noticed this very early when he traveled back and forth between Youji...... It's just that I didn't think about it from the perspective of Taiping Road.
Of course, that's a good thing anyway!
So from this point of view, it is easier to understand Gongsun Xun's hard work in supervising spring ploughing in the north of the county at this time - the world will be in chaos, but if the enemy can be rejected in the south of Zhuo County, the people in the north may save one more life in the future by each seed...... Maybe!
In the blink of an eye, in February, Gongsun Xun had already begun to mobilize the military forces in the county.
First of all, in addition to Han Dang, who was guarding Gongsun Xun's side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zhao, Wei Yue, Yang Kai and others entered the military camp one after another.
Secondly, the trial was to lead a tun of men and horses out of the town located in the north new city on the west side of Fanyang City, and the order he received was to train soldiers on the spot, renovate the city walls, and strictly prevent thieves, so as to form a horn with Fanyang City!
At this moment, some of the thoughts that Zhengnan had had before because he learned the information late completely disappeared...... In the final analysis, when the matter comes, being able to be entrusted to take charge alone and go to the aid of Uncle Fang in the state is more than any trustworthy words? ! So, this Hebei reputation immediately swore that if people are in the city, people will not lose the city! Then, he generously went to work.
At this time, where can you hide from people?
So on the 14th of February, Guo Xun sent his henchmen to engage, and Wei You, a local celebrity from Youbeiping, who was promoted from Youbeiping, went straight to Zhuoxian!
"Who?" In the afternoon, Gongsun Xun was chatting with Gongsun Yue, the younger brother who had just arrived, and of course he expected Guo Xun to send someone to inquire, but the person who came was actually a little familiar, so he was stunned for a while.
"It's Wei You." After three years of idleness, Gongsun Yue is still honest and sincere. "Duke Wei is a famous man in Youbeiping, he is a native of our villager, and he has always been good friends with our Gongsun family, and he is older, brother don't slack off......"
"I see."
In other words, Gongsun Xun originally thought that this person was a 'hero of the Three Kingdoms', who wanted to be a famous man in his hometown, and he thought that he was familiar with it when he was a teenager. But no matter what, since Guo Xun sent such a figure to come, he naturally had nothing to say, and while agreeing, he led his clan brother to greet him in person.
Wei You did not look like he was forty years old this year, but his expression was full of fatigue, as if his body was weak and unable to walk.
But fortunately, Gongsun Xun respected him as an elder in the township, and he didn't take a shelf at all, but entertained the other party in the back house with the attitude of a junior, which made this famous man in Peking sigh for a while.
"Several of your Gongsun clan's talents, such as Bogui (Gongsun Zhan), who was the county magistrate of Zhuo County before; For example, Mao Cai, now in Shangshutai for Lang's literary dictionary (Gongsun Fan Zi); Wen Chao (Gongsun Yuezi), who is also observing filial piety at home, I have already seen it many times...... It's Wen Qi that you only saw today, but you don't want to be so generous and polite. After sitting down, he served hot ginger soup with eggs, unexpectedly, Wei You didn't talk about business directly after he came to his senses, but it was really like when the famous people in the township met, and they came up to comment on the four brothers of Gongsun.
Gongsun Xun laughed for a while: "Gong Wei's words are interesting, why can't I be magnanimous and polite?" And listening to what Wei Gong meant, it's not just me, are the brothers in my clan actually losing their magnanimity? β
Wei You also shook his head and smiled: "Maybe it's just my guess." As far as I know, the children of your Gongsun clan have a little similarity, so they will take a peek at the leopard and talk about it in one ...... Would Wen Qi like to hear about it? β
"Wei Gong said bluntly." The other party doesn't talk about business, and Gongsun Xun doesn't care.
"First, the children of your family have a dignified appearance, a tall figure, and excellent martial arts."
"That's ......"
"This is a natural thing, the Jun family is a famous family in the border county, and the eunuchs have two thousand stones and many martial arts." Wei Yu said as if he were asking and answering himself. "After several generations, there is naturally this family style."
"That's what Gong Wei said." Gongsun Xun could only nod his head in praise.
"Second, the children of your family, especially the young ones in recent years, have multiple businessmen and goods." Wei You continued, and then took the initiative to analyze it. "This is also a reasonable thing, the big clans live together, and it is inevitable that the rich and the poor will gradually grow, but the nobles have an Amway, which is bigger than Saiwai and the Bohai Sea...... This benefit of money and trade, you young people, will naturally be taken seriously. β
"It's irrefutable." Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Yue glanced at each other, and they simply admitted it.
"Third, the children of your family are arrogant, and when they don't have an official rank or status, they can still cover up one or two, but once they get to a high position, they can't hide their arrogance, and they especially look down on innocent people like me!" As he spoke, Wei You calmly put down the soup bowl in his hand, but unconsciously changed his name. "I don't know what the prince thinks, what I said is right?"
Gongsun Xun smiled dumbly, but did not answer.
"Prince, my words are not groundless." Wei You stared at the noble man in front of him who was too young to speak and said seriously. "When the eldest brother of your family, Gongsun Bogui, went to Liaodong to take office, he passed by Youbeiping and visited me, and he was humble and polite at that time, just like when the two of you went out to welcome me just now. But when he made a contribution outside the Saiwai and became the commander of Qianshi County, when he met me again, he faintly felt a little arrogant that could not be concealed, and the people who came and went in the official temple in Pingsuri were all merchants and scholars, and they were all cold eyes to the scholars and the children of the clan in the county......"
Gongsun Yue couldn't help but interject and said, "Gong Wei thinks too much, my eldest brother does have some ...... Well, it's a bit arrogant, but my brother is so good as a corporal......"
"Ah Yue has fallen for Wei Gong's words." Gongsun Xun said abruptly without waiting for Wei Yu to speak. "He just wants you to defend me, and then asks me why I was rude to Uncle Fang and deceived me...... Wei Gong, am I right? β
Gongsun Yue immediately kept silent, and Wei You was also caught off guard for a while.
"Duke Wei." Gongsun Xun looked at the other party and continued to smile. "You and I are fellow villagers and elders, what can't you say directly?"
"That's what you mean." Wei You was quite embarrassed, but after all, he got up and saluted. "I also ask the prince to formally reply to me, why did the county gather soldiers, horses, grain, grass, and materials, and let my family uncle rest Fan Yang...... Do you have to go to war? β
"It's just a matter of guessing!" Gongsun Xun sat on the main seat, his face was calm, but he said his 'guess' about Taiping Dao one by one.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"That's it." At the end, Gongsun Xun said frankly. "Since I was in the Zhao State, I have a consensus with the Jizhou Assassin at that time, and the current Nanyang Taishou Liu Gong - the Taiping Road will be reversed! However, since three years ago, although I have reported this matter many times with many important officials in the DPRK and China, I have never been able to do so, so I have to secretly guard against it......"
Wei You's face was already pale.
"Duke Wei." Gongsun Xun also self-examined. "After you go back, on the one hand, you have to ask Uncle Fang to guard Fan Yang and deal with it carefully; On the other hand, I also want to greet and apologize on my behalf...... It's not that my grandson Xun is arrogant, but I have been wary of Taiping Road for a long time, and I have made many arrangements in Zhongshan for several years, and suddenly moved to Zhuo County, and when this major event comes, I can't help but feel turmoil. or uneasy, or intent on making contributions, and a little self-satisfied, and a little frustrated, for a while to be calm, and for a while to lose control...... So ......"
"I see!" Wei You sighed and got up. "In fact, a big event is coming, at the age of the prince, it is already remarkable to be able to do this! When I return to Fanyang, I will also have an explanation to my uncle. And now, I only have one thing I want to ask...... So what does the prince do, when will they do something? β
"I guess maybe it's between the ten days?" Gongsun Xun is also very uncertain. "Recently, there have been rumors in the countryside, 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious', and it is said, 'On the fifth day of the third month, peace is coming'...... Maybe it's the fifth day of March! However, this kind of rumor is spread all over the world, and the imperial court may not be aware of it, but it is not good! β
Wei You was suddenly lost!
"Fanyang City!" Gongsun Xun grabbed the other party and reminded. "Grain, grass, and strong men are ready, Duke Wei must persuade Uncle Fang to guard the city, don't send troops to meet the enemy without authorization, wait for me to exert force from the rear, and the inside and outside should be combined, and naturally I can break the thief in one fell swoop!"
Wei Yu agreed, but he didn't care about the fatigue of the carriage and horses, so he hurriedly went out and called the state officials and escorted him to Fanyang.
Gongsun Xun stood in front of the hall, staring at the other party with his hands in the distance, and was distracted for a while.
"Brother, is that why you called me here?" Gongsun Yue didn't have any scruples.
"Yes, yes." Gongsun Xun came back to his senses and sighed. "I want you to join the army as a military commander and take care of it for me...... Liu Bei and other generals. β
Gongsun Yue disagreed: "This trip was originally to serve my brother." β
Gongsun Xun nodded, and then continued to look at the empty front of the hall.
Gongsun Yue was puzzled for a while: "What is my brother looking at?" β
"Didn't look at anything." Gongsun Xun exhaled and said. "Do you think that introspective words I just said to Duke Wei are false? I was preparing in Zhongshan for three years, but when it came to the end, I was suddenly thrown to Zhuojun...... All kinds of previous actions are just to force calm down in front of subordinates! Ah Yue...... Wen Chao...... When the big thing comes, my heart is actually already in chaos! β
"Why should my brother fall into his own prestige." Gongsun Yue laughed out loud: "No matter how caught off guard you are, it's better than the eldest brother's unforgiving posture, right?" Even a township elder like Gong Wei can show his face, which is also amazing! β
Gongsun Xun was silent for a while, but he still looked at the empty front.
Extending along Gongsun Xun's gaze, thousands of miles away, in Luoyang, the Han capital at the same time, Cao Mengde, who had been a talker for three years, happened to come out of Gongsun Fan's courtyard, still holding a jar of Liaoxi wine in his hand.
"Mengde." A man who was described as tall and thin, and then had blazing eyes, rushed from behind. "Gongsun Wendian is on vacation today, but he went to Henan Yin He to enter the house, Yuan Benchu met there at night, where are we going at this time?"
"Go ......" Cao Cao got into the car with the wine jar in his arms, and then squinted his eyes and thought for a while. Let's go find Yuan Benchu! β
"Mengde." The man caught up with the car and said helplessly. "It's not that you don't know, Yuan Benchu kept filial piety for six years, known as a model in the world, and now lives in seclusion in Luoyang......"
"Seclusion to Luoyang!" Cao Cao laughed out loud for a while. "Yuan Rang, why don't you say he went to the North Palace in seclusion? Do you really think I don't know what his Yuan Benchu had in mind? β
"Mengde." This bright-eyed person, that is, Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan, heard the words and reluctantly persuaded again. "It's because you know, so do you want to avoid it?"
"Avoidance of what?" Cao Cao suddenly became solemn. "In the past, when Cao Jie was in power, he was an old man who had been in politics for more than ten years, and he could still maintain the situation with Liu Gong and Yang Gong. But since Cao Jie's death, Zhang Rang was greedy and despicable, Zhao Zhong was unscrupulous, the government was deserted, and the people were disgusted...... If you don't solve them, sooner or later there will be chaos in this world! Yuan Benchu 10,000 can't do it, just this matter is that he has hit the righteousness! Yuan made you young and strong, and now that you have been an exile for many years, why have you become timid? β
"It's not that I'm cowardly." Xiahoudun said with a straight face. "It's just that from my point of view, Yuan Benchu's side is now only righteous because of the eunuchs' perverse actions, but he doesn't have the momentum, and he can't ...... the time."
"You're wrong." Cao Cao squinted slightly. "The eldest son of the emperor is now grown up, and there is no premature death, He Jin and He Miao will have to divide the dynasty sooner or later, and according to the inclination of He Suigao (He Jinzi) to scholars, I am afraid that this 'potential' is just sooner or later!"
Xiahoudun thought about it carefully, and immediately bowed his head, but asked again: "What about the 'time'?" β
"You're not stupid!" Cao Cao was speechless. "Isn't the 'time' thing also 'sooner or later'?"
Xiahoudun suddenly realized, but he directly drove to Yuan Benchu's residence.
Luoyang was busy in the afternoon, and the two didn't notice that they were passing by a sweaty man. The latter galloped all the way and came directly to the area on the south side of Tonghuo Street, and then stopped and stood.
There is a bus office, a Sangong Mansion, and a Jiuqingguan Temple...... In short, except for the Son of Heaven in the North Palace and the Zhongtai and Yushitai in the South Palace, this place is probably the highest power that ordinary people can access.
However, from the afternoon to the evening, it is estimated that Cao Mengde had already drunk with Xu Yu and those people over there, but this person just sat motionless in the car, and he was holding the reins with both hands, as if he was ready to run at any time!
I don't know what this person is doing here!
And just when this person was still hesitating, a local official who had been waiting outside the bus office for a long time noticed this person...... Maybe he was puzzled, or maybe he felt bored for a long time, this official actually walked straight to this person.
At this moment, the man in the carriage could no longer bear it, and he immediately turned over and got out of the carriage, and then knelt on the Tongluo Street with a letter:
"Jinan Tang Zhou, out of the prime minister sued Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao to rebel, Zhongchang Feng Zhen, Xu Feng and his appointment with the internal response, a total of about the fifth day of the first month of March, attack Luoyang! The thieves are hiding in Hanoi! β
The local county official from Yizhou was stunned, but he didn't understand the other party's Qilu dialect for a while, and the surrounding area was still full of traffic.
On the evening of the same day, the hangover Cao Mengde was forcibly dragged from the bed by Mrs. Ding.
ββββββI'm the dividing line of idlenessββββββ
Zhang Jiao then placed thirty-six squares, and General Fang Yu also. There are more than 10,000 generous people, and six or seven thousand small parties, each of whom is handsome. Falsehood: 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.' 'With the white clay book of the temple gate of the capital city and the state and county officials, all as the word 'Jiazi'. Dafang Ma Yuanyi and others first collected Jing and raised tens of thousands of people, and the expectation will be sent in Cheng. Yuan Yishu traveled back and forth to Beijing, with Zhongchang Shi Feng Zhen, Xu Feng, etc. as the internal response, about March 5 inside and outside. Before the spring, the horn disciple Jinan Tang Zhou wrote to tell him. βThe Dictionary. Yan. Pei Song's note
