Chapter 8: Turbulence

In winter, it was very late, but Gongsun Xun's residence lit a torch early, and Lang Zhong, who didn't need to go to Shangshutai to do things so early, actually threw his wife on the bed alone, and then got up early to get busy with something.

"Wen Qi...... "Under the torches in the courtyard, Lu Fan's face was almost bloodless." Do you really want to act like that? ”

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun, who was tying something to the ground, said disapprovingly. "But Ziheng, I didn't see you so out of shape when I killed people before, what is this today?"

Lu Fan was still pale, and then couldn't help but ask again: "Wen Qi, is this thing really made of nature?" ”

"Yes, yes." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "My mother told me when I was a child, it's really a very common thing, but it's just a reader, how many people see this thing often? If you are not a reader, you may not be able to see it. ”

Lu Fan exhaled a long breath: "The truth is right, but I still feel a little disgusting, so rebellious......"

"That's fine." Gongsun Xun interrupted helplessly. "It's also hard work to weigh you, you can actually help me find such a thing, and go rest......"

Lu Fan immediately surrendered his hand: "That's fine, Wen Qi won't come to me for the last two days, let me recuperate." ”

"Well said, well said!" Gongsun Xun nodded very understandingly.

Lu Fan immediately fled.

Seeing Lu Ziheng stumbling away from the courtyard, Gongsun Xun finally cleaned up and stopped, only to see him pick up a large wooden box for clerical use in one hand, a bag of straw in the other, and then kick away a slightly fat flower cat at his feet, then slowly paced out the door, and then took the car to Nangong under the escort of Han Dang.

In other words, Nangong is the center of the empire, and the rules are strict, but after all, it is the place where hundreds of officials work, and there is still a gap between it and the pure forbidden center on the north palace, so the palace gate is much looser after all...... If you look into it carefully, it is probably that all weapons except the ritual knife are not allowed to enter, and as for the rest of the things, as long as it is not too taboo, there is nothing to say if you want to bring it in, and the so-called entry is not allowed to go out.

Otherwise, Gongsun Xun would not be able to carry a bag of straw every day and go in calmly.

"Gongsun Langzhong." The tiger army at the gate of the palace took advantage of the firelight to face him and slightly bowed his hand, which was a benefit of the hard slap on the front that day. "It's so early today."

"The rooster crows too early." Gongsun Xun smiled head-on, he had something in both hands, and he couldn't return the courtesy. "I couldn't sleep left and right, so I came early. What's the matter, you are still on duty today? ”

"No," the Zhonglang surnamed Yu immediately smiled bitterly. "The end of the year is approaching, my colleagues are asking for leave to walk around, and people like me who have no roots and no power in Luozhong can only keep on duty."

Gongsun Xun immediately understood...... This is the most common thing among the officers on duty and even the sergeants in Luozhong, the powerful people naturally don't need to mention it, and the rich people can easily be lazy as long as they are willing to spend money, and then there will be a situation of 'the rich die of idleness, and the rich die of exhaustion'.

This kind of thing is particularly prominent among the Lang officials of the former Han Dynasty, so much so that a certain Zhonglang will make corresponding reforms and go down in history. But when it comes to the Later Han Dynasty, only Yu Lin Lang and Hu Ben Lang will have this kind of predicament...... Of course, it is also a kind of accumulation of malpractices and corruption that the country has taken for granted after more than 100 years, if the Han Dynasty is politically clear and the world is worry-free, it will be strange!

"However, Gongsun Langzhong is also a busy man?" This Yu Zhonglang Fu pointed to the huge wooden box that the other party held in front of him and said. "With so many papers, could it be something that someone else has asked for?"

Gongsun Xun immediately laughed: "Where is it really a document?" It's just a few jars of honey, picked out from the New Year's goods sent by my hometown in western Liaoning, and this time I am going to give it to my teacher Lu Gong, so that he can drink it with warm water when he is working. ”

"I'll just say it!"

"By the way, wait for me here in the evening, and let's go to my house for a drink." Gongsun Xun comforted him by the way. "It's almost the New Year, and everyone is out of the house, so there is no need to be restrained."

"That being the case, I would like to thank Gongsun Langzhong for his kindness." The officer on duty immediately responded with a fist.

Immediately, there was no inspection at all, and Gongsun Xun walked into the South Palace calmly, and then went straight to Shangshutai, which should have just been unlocked. And after stepping into the Shangshutai, which should be few people, he looked around and walked quickly to the window he was most familiar with...... Open the window, untie the piece of cloth in the wooden box, and place it directly into the chicken pen...... The whole process is crisp and neat!

Then, Gongsun Xun put a bag of straw by the window, calmly held the box and paced into his public house with a strip of cloth and began to light the lamp and process the paperwork.

However, as a member of the central capital official Cao Yi, who was in charge of fire and water disasters and thieves' security, as soon as these bamboo slips were opened, the current situation of the empire's foundations was full of holes.

Actually, what about Luoyang? The world is full of calamities!

There has been no rain in Nanyang for several months, and I don't know if spring plowing is hindered; There was a group of thieves with hundreds of people on Jing Zhao's side, robbing houses everywhere, and Jing Zhao Yin was sick and helpless; The counties of Hebei sent people to report that the prison was full and did not know what to do; The houses at the gate of Nangong Ping were fine during the earthquake, but after the earthquake, cracks appeared everywhere, and I am afraid that they will collapse......

Gongsun Xun sighed, no wonder Liu Tao would be worried all day long, but if he is a loyal minister, he has been in the position of Cao Shangshu, the official of the central capital, for a long time, and he is afraid that he will be 'worried'.

"On ...... When the Son of Heaven is asked to send guards out of Nanyang to ask for rain! ”

"On ...... Jing Zhao is a major place in Xijing, when the reward for catching the thief is quickly increased, and the original Jing Zhaoyin is riddled with diseases, and he has repeatedly asked for a letter, and he should be transferred to the Ministry of Cao on this matter! ”

"On ...... When amnesty Hebei. ”

"On ...... When repairing the Nangong Ping City Gate. ”

"On ......"

Just as I was about to pick up the pen and write again, suddenly, several loud rooster crows came from outside, and it was already white.

The corners of Gongsun Xun's mouth twitched, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but shook his head and continued to put pen to paper to deal with the official documents.

Time came to the afternoon in a blink of an eye, and the atmosphere in Shangshutai suddenly became solemn, and the tall Lu Zhi walked under the corridor with an expressionless face, and the surrounding Shang Shulang, Changshi and others avoided it one after another. In front of the window under the corridor in the distance, Liu Tao's hand holding his beard was already trembling.

After another half an hour, Lai Yan, who was still the secretary of the book, also rushed over out of breath with the support of a small yellow door. After another half an hour, Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Yuan Kui, Yuan Feng, Yang Ci, Qiao Xuan, Zhang Ji, Chen Qiu, Liu Kuan, Yang Qiu, ...... They all came.

To tell the truth, it is the first time that many big names in this are Gongsun Xun.

For example, Qiao Xuan, who he once imitated, is now dying, and he is no longer the tough appearance in the story; Another example is Wang Fu, the main goal he planned in his heart, but he really looked around, except for Cao Jie, Yuan Feng, Yuan Kui, and Yang Ci, he actually didn't pretend to anyone; Another example is Chen Qiu, the unlucky guy who just lost the position of the third prince and the lord of the trial, at this time, he has a sad face......

Of course, there is also a yang ball, and I don't know why this master will appear here?!

"Liu Shizhong!" Wang Fu is white and fat, with gray sideburns, and his appearance is quite thoughtful, if he doesn't have a beard, he looks rich, and he is standing by the window with his sleeves crossed, his face full of impatience. "Why don't you let the palace live during the New Year? In October, there was a solar eclipse and an earthquake, so I went to two three princes in a row; Last month, you continued to read books, from Shangshutai to Yushitai, and then to Yilang, and you had to talk nonsense about 'invading yang with yin', so that Your Majesty couldn't sleep well; ”

"Didn't I make the difference?" As soon as the other party finished speaking, Liu Tao sternly questioned back. "Was the solar eclipse caused by my Liu Ziqi's witchcraft, or was the earthquake caused by me stomping on Tongtuo Street? Besides, the country has a yin qi to invade the monarch, which will cause such a celestial phenomenon, which is the conclusion of the sages for hundreds of years, and it is recorded in the scriptures! How am I talking nonsense? ”

"What is recorded in the classics, isn't it that you Liu Ziqi shouted it out on Tonghuo Street?" Wang Fu became more and more yin and yang. "Don't think I don't know, how to interpret the classics, isn't it you who have the final say?"

Liu Tao was even more embarrassed when he heard this: "Confucian classics, it's not us who do learning who have the final say, is it you, a regular servant, who has the final say?!" ”

"I don't know if what I'm talking about is not." Wang Fu sneered regardless of the faces of the people around him. "But at least it's better than what you say! After all, the general and the third prince who I thought I said back then are all dead! ”

As soon as these words came out, starting from the eldest Qiao Xuan, all the way to the youngest Yang Qiu, all the ministers and ministers looked sideways, even Liu Kuan, a good old man and Yuan Yang, and these people all stared at Wang Fu with a smile...... This made the latter uncomfortable for a while.

"That's it!" At this moment, the gray-haired Cao Jie couldn't help coughing. "How to explain the disaster is the duty of the great Confucians, Wang Changzhi does not need to say much. And in October, Wen Huangong (Liu Kuan) and Bo Zhengong (Chen Qiu) have set an example for Sheji, so there is no need to say much. Let's talk about things, Liu Shizhong...... Well, Lu Shizhong is good, you are simply, please tell me about today's events quickly, Your Majesty is still waiting in the North Palace! ”

As soon as these words came out, many adults nodded busily, and Wang Fu and Liu Tao also snorted coldly after glancing at each other, and then said no more.

Lu Zhi stepped forward expressionlessly and saluted the ministers, but said bluntly without embellishment: "Don't hide it from the princess, the matter is actually simpler, we have always had chickens in Shangshutai, and when we fed the chickens today, a group of Shangshulang found that there was an extra rooster in the chicken pen for no reason...... They all thought it was a sign of 'the female turning into a male' in the book, so they were all terrified. ”

"Isn't this nonsense?" Wang Fu couldn't help but interject again. "Maybe they're mistaken? One more chicken and one less chicken......"

"Prince." Gongsun Xun suddenly interjected regardless of his identity. "No matter how foolish I am, I won't remember a rooster as two, and one and two will not be wrong."

Wang Fu couldn't help but stagnate, and the ministers crowded in the corridor also looked at each other.

"This ......," Wang Fu said thoughtfully. Is there another place to keep chickens nearby? Shangshutai is in the middle of the South Palace, and the rooster feathers are vigorous, maybe it doesn't know where it flew from. ”

"Return to the Prince." Gongsun Xun replied again without hesitation. "There is only one place in the South Palace to feed the chickens. I have checked the copywriting, this is the custom left by Yang Huai, the famous minister of this dynasty, when he was appointed as Shangshuling, he was very diligent and very strict with his subordinates, and often came to Shangshutai to work before dawn, and when the chickens crowed, he came out to inspect to check whether the Shangshu and Shangshulang were all in line, and there were no chickens in other places in Nangong......"

Wang Fu became more and more speechless.

"I see." Cao Jie suddenly spoke again. "That'...... I remember it was Gongsun Wenqi, right? Have you examined this ...... This 'rooster'? ”

"I didn't dare to move lightly," Lu Zhi said abruptly. "Shangshutai is the central land, and the transformation of females into males is a great omen, so we dare not move lightly. Moreover, Liu Shizhong and I immediately stayed here after hearing the movement, taking care of the whole process, and did not let anyone touch it, just waiting for all the princes to come to ......."

"Don't hide it from Da Changqiu," Liu Tao also proudly defended again. "I dare to take my life as a guarantee, today, no one has gone to the chicken pen to make any moves, just waiting for you to come."

Cao Jie looked at Liu Tao, then at the tall Lu Zhi and Gongsun Xun hiding behind him, and then nodded slowly after a while: "I understand, that's the case, everyone is here, let's go down and send someone to catch it!" ”

Lu Zhi and Liu Tao each signaled, and immediately, a group of Shang Shulang and Shang Shu Changshi immediately went around to the outside of the official temple of Shangshutai and entered through the main gate of the chicken pen...... Of course, there was no point in the struggle of a flock of chickens, not to mention two roosters soon, even the pile of hens was caught clean, only to be released later.

In the end, according to Cao Jie's instructions, the two little yellow doors each took a 'rooster' and ran outside the Shangshutai to wait for the review.

And the ministers and dignitaries also slowly paced out, ready to test whether the two chickens were demonic.

However, just when everyone was about to walk to the open space outside the Shangshu Taiguan Temple, Cao Jie suddenly stood beside a tiger soldier holding a long ge: "Actually, what about me, some villains' guesses, how can a female turn into a male?" There's got to be a process, right? ”

A group of ministers and scholars stopped one after another, and then looked at each other at a loss.

"What does Cao Gong mean?" Yuan Feng, who was following alongside, asked helplessly.

"I mean it very simply." Cao Jie sneered suddenly, and the white qi brought by his words continued in the air. "Let's come to inspect the chickens later, if one of the two roosters is half female and half male, then it is naturally a female and a male, you can say whatever you want. But if it's just a normal rooster, you say that it's a hen turned into a male, and I also say that someone with evil intentions in Shangshutai secretly brought it in his clothes! After all, there were some party members who were good at spreading rumors, polluting the political situation, and harboring ill intentions...... At that time, I had no choice but to ask the Tiger Benjun to follow the map and carefully check the thirty-six Shangshulang and eighteen Shangshuchang histories of Shangshutai. ”

"Why do you need to check?!" Wang Fu also suddenly raised his voice. "If so, it is better to misjudge all than to let one go! If you want me to say, as long as those two chickens are ordinary roosters, all these fifty-four people will be sent to prison, and even Shizhong and Shangshu will be sent to prison and tortured carefully! ”

Without waiting for the ministers to respond, Wang Fu instead raised his voice: "Didn't you hear it?" Quickly transfer more Tiger Ben Army over! ”

As soon as the words fell, several little yellow doors immediately bowed down to receive the order, called adults, and then rushed away.

For a time, there was no wind in Shangshu Taizhong, and no one dared to reply to the gray-haired Cao Jie who stood under Changge.

And Gongsun Xun, who fell behind, also squinted slightly at this time, as if he had re-acquainted himself with this Da Changqiu, who was quite kind when they met for the first time, and did not notice that his two teachers glanced at him in unison.

"The difference between rooster and hen is well known." Seeing that the situation was under control, Cao Jie couldn't help laughing. "One in the tail feathers, two in the comb...... Let's not waste time, let those two boys with big tail feathers come forward, lords...... You don't have to go to Shangshutai, please go with the rest of the princes to see if there is a cockscomb, I'm a yin person, just stand here, and don't follow the eyes. ”

After that, this Cao Jie in turn urged these ministers to go to the test, and Wang Fu also sneered.

Several ministers of the dynasty had no choice but to move forward.

However, after several ministers surrounded the so-called 'rooster' one after another, they were hesitant and did not dare to say much for a while.

"How?" Seeing a team of armored tiger soldiers coming, Wang Fu couldn't help but urge. "Just take a look at the cockscomb, all the princes are well-educated Confucians, are they all blind?!"

"See for yourself!" Yang Ci was the first to be impatient. "Come and see this chicken! The tail feathers are bright, and they are completely roosters, but the comb is short and shapeless, no different from a hen! This is clearly the female turning into a male, and only half of it! ”

Wang Fu and Cao Jie were stunned.

On the other side, Yuan Feng, who was looking around the other chicken, also turned around, and reluctantly gave his hand: "Gong Cao, it's not that we are talking nonsense, I really saw it with my own eyes, I don't dare to believe it, this chicken is actually the same, the tail feathers are bright, but the cockscomb is short......"

Before the words fell, Wang Fu was so angry that he actually stepped forward to check it himself, and then hurriedly threw the 'rooster' to the ground in surprise: "The cockscomb is the right way to judge male and female, so how can it not be a hen with bright tail feathers?" Maybe it'll lay eggs......"

In the middle of his words, the words of the king Changshou came to an abrupt end, because the 'hen with bright tail feathers' that he threw to the ground actually crowed loudly!

Everyone was speechless, and then regardless of the eunuch or the minister, they just stared at the strange 'hen' with a frightened face, as if they were looking at some prehistoric monster, it was another little yellow door holding a chicken, and he was also quickly frightened and threw the other 'hen' out.

"There must be something strange!" At this time, on the side of Shangshutai, Wang Lang, a young man, couldn't help but be the first to break the silence. "Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know, I have come to Shangshutai several times before dawn to dispose of documents, and every time I can hear the rooster report the dawn...... But if these two chickens are both females, wouldn't there be a chicken Si Chen after the female turns male? ! ”

Yang Ci looked back at his most trusted student, also at a loss, speechless.

Hearing this, the frightened Wang Fu became more and more frightened, and actually covered his face with his hands, and took the lead in leading a group of small yellow doors to escape in embarrassment. And Cao Jie was also speechless, so he sighed for a long time and went straight to the North Palace...... Seeing this, the tiger army had no choice but to disperse.

Seeing that the eunuchs and sergeants had all disappeared, the front of Shangshutai was completely lively, and everyone was shocked on the one hand, looking at the two chickens like a demon, and on the other hand, they quoted scriptures and talked about the signs of 'female chickens turning males' and 'chicken Si Chen' appearing in Shangshutai...... But is it any? Isn't it just that the eunuchs are in power?

At the same time, Yushitai, Dongguan, and even the sprinkler on duty all rushed to see after hearing the news here!

Gongsun Xun even saw Tian Feng staring at him in the crowd!

In the chaos, Liu Kuan shook his head, caged his sleeves and walked towards Gongsun Xun, and when he came to his student, Lu Zhi, who looked suspicious, also took two steps to this side.

"I only put one." Without waiting for these two to speak, Gongsun Xun confessed to all. "I asked Lu Ziheng to search for seven or eight days in the countryside of the Qi family, and I found one, which I just threw into the chicken pen this morning...... The other one, the students really don't know! ”

Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan couldn't help but stand on the spot.

And just when the three teachers and students were suspicious, several Tiger Ben soldiers rushed from the south avenue with their swords, and the leader was Yu She, who was guarding the door...... However, this action only attracted everyone's attention, but it did not frighten everyone, because among the soldiers was escorted a clerk of the bus station, who was holding a box containing papers.

You don't have to think about it to know where something happened and it needs to be dealt with urgently by Shang Shutai, but it has nothing to do with this matter.

"What's the matter?" To everyone's surprise, without waiting for a few Shangshu and the 'Lingshang Shushi' to come forward, Yang Qiu, who would be a master craftsman, hurriedly greeted and asked.

The bus officer was originally puzzled because so many people gathered here to 'watch chickens', and he was even more at a loss when he was asked by Yang Qiu.

"I just met the saint today!" Seeing this, this Yang Qiu hurriedly explained loudly. "Laigong is sick and weak, so the Son of Heaven will turn me into Shangshuling, and I will be responsible for leading Shangshutai before the first day of the first lunar month...... Just report it to me. ”

This is an interesting appointment...... A recognized cool official, the so-called thug of the Son of Heaven, actually changed from a guilty body to a councilor in a year, and then suddenly became one of the generals of the Nine Qings, and now he has become Shang Shuling.

It seems that the Son of Heaven does have some ideas.

Of course, now is not the time to think about this, I saw that after the official of the bus department heard Yangqiu's self-introduction, he hurriedly bowed down and presented the official document in his hand: "Return to Shangshu Order, Jiaozhou Urgent Report, the barbarians of Hepu and Jiaozhi counties rebelled, Jiuzhen and Rinan also had rebellions, and the seven counties of Jiaozhou have now fallen to four counties, and please Shangshutai deal with it quickly!" ”

The ministers and officials are in chaos again...... Gongsun Xun was also dumbfounded, and Shi Xie, who was following Liu Tao, was even more anxious.

However, the matter was not over yet, at this moment, it was like thunder on dry land, and it was in everyone's field of vision, and the inner house, the arsenal house, and the outer east wall house at the gate of the South Palace suddenly collapsed.

Except for Gongsun Xun, who suddenly thought of the official document handled this morning, the rest of the people were all stunned, not knowing what to do.

"Bad omens are repeated, disasters are frequent, it must be a state-owned demon!" Liu Tao really couldn't hold back, last time he was the first to shout a similar slogan in front of the Nangong Gate, and this time in the middle of the Nangong Palace, he was the first to shout this sentence that all the scholars wanted to shout!

For a while, the center of Nangong was really in the middle of the group.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he saw Cao Jie downplaying and called the Tiger Benjun to drink before, Gongsun Xun might have been infected by the emotions of this group of people at this time, and then raised his arms and shouted, "The country has been raising soldiers for nearly 400 years, and the festival of righteous death is today!" And called on this group of people to go to the North Palace Fuque...... Please punish Cao Jie and Wang Fu.

However, after thinking about it, Gongsun Xun decided that it would be better not to take this risk. After all, according to experience, the political situation of the Han Dynasty still has to be solved with a knife, and even Wang Yun and other people from Yushitai also know how to win over Gongsun Xun as a knife...... This action is just to shake the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

"The world is difficult, and my heart is full of anxiety." Seeing such a mess in front of Shang Shutai, Liu Kuan suddenly shook his head slightly. "I'm going home and drinking."

Lu Zhi's face changed a little, and he also shook his head, then turned around and walked into Shangshutai.

There is no doubt that even putting aside Liu Kuan, even Lu Zhi feels that he should not be too eager at this time.

However, just when Gongsun Xun and his two teachers were about to endure their own patience, over there, Yang Qiu, who was looking at the collapsed palace gate in a daze, suddenly smashed the briefcase in his hand to the ground, and then shouted angrily: "If the Son of Heaven can use Yang Qiu as the lieutenant of the school, can An make these demons so rampant?!" Why did you make a Shangshu order that can only write official documents?! ”

From Yuan Yang down, and as for Gongsun Xun, Wang Lang, Wang Yun, Tian Feng and others, the Manchu Dynasty scholars and ministers and Shangshu Yushi, each looked sideways.

"In the past, at the end of the former Han Ling Emperor Xiping, there was a female in Nangong Shangshutai, and her hair was like a male, but the crown had not changed. And hair, Luozhong was terrified, the eunuch temple covered his face and left, and the public opinion of the scholars was turbulent. On the same day, the Fuyoujiaozhou Incident, the four counties fell, and the Nangong Ping City Gate collapsed for no reason. Shi Taizu was Shang Shulang, and when he saw it with his own eyes, he was stunned on the spot. When he returned, he whispered left and right: 'I know that Han's life is not long, so I should concentrate on it.' Taizu didn't answer. - "New Yanshu". Volume I. Emperor Taizu Wu Benji
