"The ancients called the Jin land as the mountains and rivers in the surface, and when I see it today, the mountains and rivers depend on each other, and they are self-contained, and they are really not bad!"

"The big river is to the west, the fishing boats are singing at night, and I didn't expect there to be such a grand scene here!"

In late autumn, the sunset is pleasant, on the north side of a large river in the south of Lucheng in Yanmen County, that is, on the bank of the Hutuo River in Fanzhi County, Shanxi Province in later generations, there are two nobles in the county who are on a hillside, watching the scenery sideways, and feeling emotional. And at the bottom of the slope behind the two, although there were dozens of attachés, servants, and even seven or eight young scholars, they didn't say a word, just waiting for the two people on the slope.

That's right, the middle-aged man who spoke first was naturally the Yanmen Taishou and the county government Jun Guo Yi, and the young man who spoke later was Gongsun Xun, who had overthrown a Yanmen Taishou and later burned the bullet sweat and shocked the northern Xinjiang.

In other words, Guo Yi, who is too guarded, traveled to Lucheng as a county guard, but Gongsun Xun is an out-and-out private trip...... Well, he was ordered by his mother to go to the Dafu Vulture Temple on Wutai Mountain with his wife to worship the Buddha, or to play.

You must know that it is difficult for Aunt Gongsun to go far away, so during the Yanmen Panhuan period, what salt ponds, coal pits, what Yellow River, Taihang, what Mayi, Wuzhou, everything she can go to go, but in late autumn, she finally returned to Liaoxi with some helplessness. However, before leaving, he specifically asked Gongsun Xun and his new wife to go to Wutai Mountain to find some Dafu Linghu Temple, saying that it was very effective to ask for a son in that place.

After the White Horse Temple, of course Gongsun Xun had no feelings for the monk, and he had no feelings for the heirs when he was just married...... It's just that, after all, it's a mother's life! Moreover, the situation in Yanmen has been stable recently, and it is worth the newlywed Yan'er, and the husband and wife are harmonious, so it is nothing to accompany the wife.

Then when passing through Lucheng, since they met, Guo Yi took the initiative to invite Gongsun Xun to participate in his county activities, and said that it was a county, in fact, on the bank of the Hutuo River outside the city, he summoned the young talents of the county to accompany him on the autumn tour, and by the way, he did some investigations, so as to facilitate the annual filial piety selection.

Yanmen has been safe recently, and of course such a classic cultural and educational activity has been carried out smoothly...... It's just that when they were about to return to Lucheng, the two nobles led by them suddenly became interested, and suddenly wanted to go uphill to watch the evening view of the Hutuo River, which is why there is such a scene.

"Is Wen Qi joking?" Guo Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard the other party's words. "Not to mention where there are fishing boats in this river, even the water of this Hutuo River will still go east after all. You don't want to think about it, how can there be a river in the world that goes all the way to the west? It's just that the terrain of Wutai Mountain on the other side of the river is steep, and the Hutuo River has been temporarily forced to the west, and when it enters the territory of Taiyuan County in our township, it will be diverted to the east, and it will go all the way into the sea through Hebei......"

"I know that." Gongsun Xun on the side was really too lazy to argue with the other party about what to go east and west, just nodded perfunctorily. "The Hutuo River on the Hebei side is much more famous than the Hutuo in this Jin land, and I have passed by many times when I traveled back and forth between Liaoxi and Luoyang that day."

"yes." Guo Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. "In fact, when it comes to beautiful scenery, I still think that the Hutuo River section in my hometown Taiyuan County is the most beautiful, but the Hutuo River section in Hebei Province has a glorious and martial magic, which is recorded in history...... Can't compare! ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Guo Gong's words are true, don't say anything else, the Gongsun bean porridge and Gongsun wheat rice in that place are second to none...... By the way, do you want to taste it, and when you return to Lucheng in the evening, I will make a bowl of wheat rice with you, maybe it can also be called 'Gongsun wheat rice', right? ”

Hearing this, Guo Yi couldn't help but hold the reins and laugh, and the tears of laughter came out, causing many attendants under the slope to be confused.

In other words, the so-called 'Gongsun Mai Rice' is actually Gongsun Xun making a joke about a historical allusion to the Hutuo River, and this allusion is related to the 'Guangwu Divine Strange' that Guo Yi just said.

Back then, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had just come to Hebei, and there were more than a dozen people around him, and the local Haoqiang in Hebei who took advantage of the chaos also offered a reward of 100,000 households for his head...... As a last resort, Liu Xiu had no choice but to give full play to the old Liu family's best running skills and fled all the way south from Zhao State.

When he fled to Wuqi Pavilion in the north of Raoyang City, he was really cold and hungry, and he was extremely distressed, and he saw that there was nothing left. At this time, Feng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai and later known as General Dashu, didn't know where to conjure up a few handfuls of beans and secretly made a bowl of bean porridge for Emperor Guangwu alone, and the latter felt comfortable after drinking it...... Because of Feng Yizi's grandson, Liu Xiu told people the next day: "Oh, you don't know, I got a bowl of 'Gongsun bean porridge' yesterday, and I am so comfortable to drink!" ”

And then what? Then it was useless for Liu Xiu to drink comfortably, and more than a dozen people were hungry, so they could only run to Huanyang City to find food, but they were discovered and almost wiped out! As a last resort, the group fled south like wild dogs, and when they came to the bank of the Hutuo River, it happened to encounter the freezing rain in winter, and everyone was tired, hungry and cold...... And just when Emperor Guangwu ran to the broken house on the side of the road and baked his clothes shirtless, Feng Yi and Feng Gongsun didn't know where to get a handful of wild vegetables and a handful of wheat, so they used this fire to make another bowl of 'Gongsun Wheat Rice' for Emperor Guangwu!

Needless to say, after eating this bowl of wheat rice, Liu Xiu estimated that he had the strength to open up, anyway, as Guo Yi said, all kinds of 'light and martial arts', what sent people to see it was not frozen yet, but when he walked to the edge of the Hutuo River, he was already frozen and could pass people, and then crossed the river to the city of Xindu, Xindu was too guarded by Ren Guang to open the city to greet him, bow his head, and throw himself into the county...... And then it's two years of sweeping the drama of Hebei and the like.

Later, as long as Emperor Guangwu thought of Feng Yi, he would tell people every day that he would never forget the 'Gongsun Bean Porridge' and 'Gongsun Wheat Rice' on the banks of the Hutuo River for the rest of his life!

Feng Yi is nicknamed 'General Big Tree' because he never competes for credit, and when others compete for merit after the war, he likes to sit under a big tree in a daze...... However, if you think about it carefully, with this 'Gongsun Wheat Rice' and 'Gongsun Bean Porridge', where does he need to compete with anyone and whom?!

So back to the present, Gongsun Xun is now talking to Guo Yi about this kind of thing, although he is just joking about the place of Hutuo River with the word of General Dashu and his surname, but he also has the taste of releasing his previous suspicions with Guo Yi and making friends with one or two......

After all, compared to the official positions of the two, he and Guo Yi actually look very young, and the possibilities in their careers are still quite broad. In addition, the two sides now have no conflict of interest, and even cooperate very well, so why not be a 'friend in distress'? In this case, when we meet in the future, we can also say something like 'the old man on the bank of the Hutuo River' to improve the style.

Of course, Guo Yi is not a fool, and after laughing, he immediately bowed his head: "Before the collapse of Northern Xinjiang and the abandonment of Yanmen, it was all up to Wen Qi to help me with all my might, so that I could go to the county with peace of mind and do this grand event of education, and only then could I have such a grand scene to enjoy...... I am deeply moved by this! ”

Gongsun Xun also smiled slightly, but couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Where is the credit of one or two people?" The prince of the mansion whips the top and bottom, I am left and right, the right is willing to give money and food, the left is willing to work hard, and there is culture and education to clean up the hearts of the people, and business and trade to activate the economy...... This is the real reason why Yanmen was able to stabilize the situation. ”

"That's a good point." Guo Yi nodded, and then turned his head to look at the official road on the north bank of the river, where there was a caravan of the Amway going east from here, as if it was preparing to go to Daijun from here overnight, and then go to Hebei from the Flying Fox Trail in Taihang Mountain. "One county and one country, if the whole country can do things wholeheartedly, even the great difficulties can be overcome...... But between you and me, I have a heartfelt word here, and the sandalwood acacia didn't take advantage of it, which is really a fluke. ”

Gongsun Xun was silent, and after this time, he really felt some emotion about the word military disaster...... It's really Tanshi Huai calling, but all kinds of methods like the previous ones can only be a joke. But then again, the other party did not come to fight, but instead took advantage of this big victory to focus on the balance of strength of the various departments, which made people feel more and more that this grassland hero should not be underestimated.

It's just that with Gongsun Xun's status at this moment, until now, he can only expect this person to be as his mother said, and he will have a holiday every day!

Since he thought of Tanshi Huai, Gongsun Xun suddenly remembered someone: "Actually, if you talk about it carefully, you have to be grateful to one person...... If it weren't for Fang Bo Donggong rushing to the northwest of Hexi to supervise the Hetao and the south to Fu the Huns, not to mention that Tanshihuai called, but the chaos in Hexi would have affected us, and it would have been enough for us to deal with it hard. ”

"That's true." Guo Yi sighed slightly. "The country is shaking, and it is time for the tiger minister to be a good shepherd. However, thinking that Uncle Fang tried his best so hard, the imperial court should also see it, and he would get a beautiful county one day, and it was just around the corner. ”

Gongsun Xun expressed his agreement again, and then couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and turned his head to look at Guo Yi again, and coincidentally, the other party also happened to squint.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Guo Yi was a little more simply: "Speaking of which, since the situation in northern Xinjiang is gradually stabilizing, it is time for the imperial court to reward meritorious deeds, does Wen Qi have any ideas?" ”

"Of course there are a lot of ideas." Gongsun Xun laughed in a low voice. "I just don't know what Guo Gong is referring to?"

"Where are you going?" Guo Yi became more and more earnest. "Can you still stay in Yanmen? To be honest, if you can stay in Yanmen for another two or three years, even if it is not a military position, it would be good to be a county commander...... At that time, you and I will work together, and Yanmen will be ruled greatly! ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again: "Guo Gongdon't forget, after I was called up before, I came directly to Yanmen to take up my post, which is already an expedient measure." And now that I have made a meritorious service, the court wants to continue to appoint me, if I don't go to Luoyang to be a Lang official, how can I rest assured? The Han family system is here, and if you want to take a serious career, you have to go through a term of Lang official after all! ”

"It seems that he is still going to enter the court." Guo Yi shook his head helplessly. "There's really no way around it. However, since Wen Qi has made great contributions to the court, it is inevitable that he will no longer be able to serve as the third office lang (three hundred stones) like the filial piety in the primary election, but I don't know if it is a squire or a middle lang? ”

In other words, the Lang official of the Han Dynasty is a very interesting position, the Taoism in it is very complicated, and all kinds of special cases of officialdom can be found here, so people can't summarize it at all. But roughly speaking, it mainly plays the role of the Central Party School plus a cadre reserve pool.

Among them, if you roughly speaking, it can be reluctantly divided into three levels.

The highest is Yilang, six hundred stones, and generally can jump directly to the level of two thousand stones through this position, such as Cai Yong is now in this position;

The lowest is the third department lang or Yu Lin lang, with a rank of 300 stones, and it is generally a person who has just been promoted to filial piety, or a person who has just been selected from the upper officials, or a low-level officer who has just made outstanding military merits...... Reluctantly divide it again, the three Lang is the text, Yu Linlang is the martial arts, and Dong Zhuo was the Yu Linlang back then.

As for the squire and the middle lang, they are in between, the former has a rank of 400 stones, which is theoretically a subordinate of Shangshutai, while Zhonglang is a rank of 600 stones, which is theoretically a little more martial arts...... As Guo Yi said, in terms of Gongsun Xun's qualifications, the top ten are these two positions.

"God knows!" Gongsun Xun was helpless. "The son of the mentor in the court, my senior brother Liu Song came to congratulate me on the wedding before, but by the way, I asked my family to send a message and mention Lang Guan...... As for whether it is a squire or a middle man, he can only go with him. ”

Guo Yi nodded silently, and sighed again: "I just don't know if after Wen Qi goes, will the whole Yanmen still be able to fulfill their responsibilities in the past few months?" Wen Qi is brave, the corporal is elite, and the officers also have their own strengths...... What a rarity! ”

At this point, both of them were completely silent, just watching the sunset in the west on the Hutuo River, watching the sunset in a hurry, before returning to the city.

It is said that Gongsun Xun and Zhao Yun naturally lived in a pavilion in the city, while Guo Yi lived in the official temple where the county monarch was located. Therefore, the two of them greeted each other at the intersection, and then they each said goodbye and went back to rest.

"Lang Jun." Since Zhao Yun is already a wife, she can naturally hold the cat and show up to greet her. "It's fun to go on an autumn trip to the river this time, otherwise why would you come back when it's dark?"

"What's interesting?" Gongsun Xun grabbed the cat and threw it to the maid on the side, and at the same time walked into the hospital with his wife, but he was speechless. "The selection of filial piety is imminent, Guo Taishou is in person, these young scholars and officials in Lucheng are all eager to try, some show their talents, some show virtue, and some deliberately say big things to attract attention...... You said that I, a passing officer directly under the imperial court, was not good at saying anything superfluous at such an important time, so I had to drink all day and say perfunctory words all day. That is, before leaving, I had time to climb with Guo Taishou to see the scenery of the sunset over the long river, which was an occasional gain. ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing: "It's also hard work." ”

The two stepped into the house in the pavilion again, and naturally there were servants and maidservants who lit candles, and then, as his wife, Zhao Yun didn't mention dinner, but quickly turned out a letter from the arms of the maid holding the cat:

"Pingcheng sent it by a fast horse!"

Gongsun Xun took it and saw that it was written by Lu Fan, so he didn't think about it at first, but when he opened it and looked at it a few times, he couldn't help but think for a long time.

It turned out that Gongsun Fan sent people from Luoyang to send Pingcheng a message of peace and stability, which meant that the court had finally begun to punish Xia Yu, Zang Min, and Tian Yan...... This is nothing, as Guo Yi just said outside the city, seeing that the northern Xinjiang has stabilized, then the DPRK and China will naturally have to discuss this battle in various ways, and then discuss crimes, reward merits, and so on!

It's just that after receiving the message, Lu Fan asked his lord a sharp question from his point of view, not to mention that Gongsun Xun is likely to enter Luo quickly this time, but only to say that in the future, the sea will rise and fall, is it possible to ignore the old ministry every time he changes places?

In the tradition of officialdom in the Han Dynasty, the old officials were like protégés, and there were even old officials who raised their own lords and guarded filial piety! On the other hand, the old officials are also the most reliable force for the lord!

So Lu Fan's meaning is very simple, if Gongsun Xun leaves, he Lu Fan will naturally follow, Lou Gui and Han Dang will definitely follow easily, and even try their best to take away the entire Pingcheng side of the favored officers...... But will it be possible to do this again and again?

And if you let a group of people with official positions and even local families go to Luoyang with you and be a guest for a while, will everyone really be happy?

In this case, even if Lu Fan's last question is not written, it is about to come out...... Why don't you try to nominate an old henchman to guard this place in your place?!

To tell the truth, from Gongsun Xun's selfish thinking, the other part of Pingcheng is also the elite that followed him from birth to death...... He was really reluctant to let go directly!

Moreover, Gongsun Xun hadn't considered and discussed this issue with his wife before, but it was okay to think about it, so he could only say that he tried to put all the talents around him and take them away, and then relied on the Amway to collude with many powerful people here, and try to maintain the influence on this army.

Otherwise, what else? The Han family system is still there, is it what you want?

Even to say something terrifying, if you really make a ruthless decision at this time, you will be divided in Pingcheng...... Believe it or not, the person who came to suppress you is a dignified Han Zhongliang, a good pastor of Huchen and Dong Zhongying?

However, Lu Fan's letter provided Gongsun Xun with a novel perspective, a solution to the problem that was actually easy to figure out, but ignored because his mother and son were too knowledgeable and thought too deeply!

Why don't you recommend a reliable henchman to take over the Pingcheng garrison? Everything in the world is people-oriented, if this henchman is loyal, reliable and capable, won't this army be saved?

Of course, it is definitely not possible to recommend it yourself, but the recommendation of Guo Yi, who is too guarded by Yanmen, is reasonable...... The imperial court categorically has no reason to refuse, right?

And if you think about it this way, today on the bank of the Hutuo River, did you fail to fully comprehend the kindness of Guo Gong?

"Ready for dinner?" As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun suddenly put away the letter paper and smiled at his wife.

"Nature." Zhao Yun hurriedly replied. "Does Lang Jun want to eat now?"

"Not yet." Gongsun Xun shook his head slightly. "I suddenly remembered something, and I was going to invite Guo Taishou to dine together."

"In that case, I'll prepare!" Zhao Yun became more and more flustered, it was the first time she entertained guests as a wife, especially since the other party was still a two-thousand-stone master.

"No, you don't." Gongsun Xun laughed again. "You just told me, did we bring beans and wheat?"

Zhao Yun became more and more puzzled: "Beans are naturally available, but wheat ...... Lang Jun, you forgot, our wheat is ground into flour in advance, only flour, no wheat. Moreover, entertain a man with two thousand stones, where can wheat rice be used? ”

"There must be in the pavilion." Gongsun Xun said with a smile. "How about you go and borrow some yourself? Then go and pick some wild vegetables yourself...... That's all there is to it! Don't worry about cooking, you don't need to do it, wait for me to ask Guo Gong to come back and cook a bowl of bean porridge and a bowl of wheat rice for him! Let's talk about it! ”

Zhao Yun suddenly woke up: "Could it be the 'Gongsun Wheat Rice' on the bank of the Hutuo River?" ”

Gongsun Xun didn't reply, but got up with a smile and personally invited Guo Yi to dinner.

——————I'm the dividing line of the Grand Magus——————

"And Wang Lang up, Guangwu from the thistle southeast gallop, morning and night grass house, to Raoyang no pavilion. When the weather was cold, everyone was hungry and tired, and bean porridge was different. On Ming Dan, Guangwu said to the generals: 'Yesterday I got Gongsun bean porridge, and the hunger and cold were solved. 'And go, in case of heavy wind and rain, Guangwu led the car into the road near the empty house, different salary, Deng Yu was hot, and Guangwu burned the clothes on the fire. Entering the wheat rice again, because of the resumption of the Hutuo River to Xindu...... Later, Guangwu Zhao said: 'There is no bean porridge in the hurry, and the wheat rice in the Hutuo River has not been reported for a long time. —"Book of the Later Han Dynasty" Feng Yilie's biography
