Chapter 19: Better
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's really hard to say, but I, Cao Mengde, only know today that there are really people in the world who can kill thieves in laughter, and the weak crown has the style of an ancient famous general. From this, it can be seen that the battle of the burning bomb and the Khan is so magnificent......"
When Gongsun Xun walked out of the gate of the bridge mansion, he heard the 'Meng De' praising himself like this, but he just stood on the side in front of the bridge house with his hands tied, allowing the soldiers and guests to carry out the corpses and gold, and also let the 'Meng De' make a big show for himself there.
However, everyone is not a fool after all, especially Qiao Xuan, don't look at him as old, but if you have a firm mind and a clear vision, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can compare to him. Therefore, after soothing his youngest son a little, the first elder in the court stopped the others, and then personally took his son over to thank him.
"Wen Qi, thank you for your great kindness......"
"Qiao Gong doesn't have to say anything more." Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his hand to stop. "I don't need Qiao Gong to thank you, today I saved your son, just to blackmail Entu."
Qiao Xuan bowed slightly: "If you are rewarded, how can you wait for others to take the initiative to ask for retribution?" Since Qiao has received your great favor, he will naturally not say anything to be ashamed of, and he will definitely help you wherever he can...... I will enter the palace and ask for the Son of Heaven. β
got the other party's promise, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but exhale the depression that had been accumulated for a long time.
And turned around, Qiao Xuan went to the North Palace, those powerful neighbors naturally wanted to retrieve the gold with blood from each family, and Yang Qiu naturally wanted to go back with his subordinates with the corpse and the only remaining thief to clean up the aftermath, and the rest of the security forces of the imperial court who came to support also retreated like a tide, which was their own righteous servant, and Gongsun Xun also directly asked Han Dang to lead them back......
For a while, the area around Qiaofu, which had been tightly blocked before, quickly returned to its usual desertion, and only the 'Meng De' and Gongsun Xunwu stayed in place.
"Brother Mengde." There were no more chores around, and Gongsun Xun was finally able to get to know this short, squinting-eyed man officially. "But Peiguo Qiaocheng Cao Mengde is here? Xun has admired the name for a long time, and he doesn't want to make everything complicated today, so he can only meet his brother now, and ask the virtuous brother not to blame. β
"Why is Wen Qi so restrained?" The other party laughed, unimpressed. "You and I know each other like this, and it's ten times better than the crepe at the banquet! Besides, a character like you, I have been friends for a long time before, and when I see it today, it is actually like a reunion of old people. β
Gongsun Xun remembered his mother's style of doing things, and he immediately changed his face and smiled: "Since it's an old man meeting, where can I not find a place to have a drink?" β
Cao Cao became more and more happy when he heard this, and then directly stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Xun's sleeve and was about to go somewhere...... However, just after taking two steps, he suddenly slapped his head and secretly screamed confused, and finally went directly to the bridge mansion where the blood was not dried on the ground.
And the bridge mansion seemed to be very familiar with this squinting-eyed short man, and actually let him go directly to the back hall to find half a pot of wine out of nowhere, and even took the initiative to let the kitchen make some hot bean porridge and other things without his instructions.
Then, this Cao Cao personally served the porridge, and Gongsun Xun personally poured the wine, and the two of them did not have any intention of avoiding it, and drank directly on the attic where the thieves were hiding before.
And after a sip of wine, Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing: "No wonder Gong Qiao refused the ransom when he opened his mouth...... I'm afraid that he really has no money left at home, and I don't know how many days this wine has been placed, but there is no taste of wine at all. β
"It's the truth." Cao Cao squinted and smiled. "Qiao Gong has a simple personality and has no money to spare. In fact, my family is not bad for money, and I often admired prosperity when I was young, but after getting acquainted with Qiao Gong, I gradually developed a little weak temperament in food and clothing...... went to Dunqiu to serve as a county magistrate, and when he saw the people's livelihood and suffering, he felt more and more that Qiaogong's teachings were extremely correct, and those in high positions should abstain from luxury and worship simplicity and take it as an example. Of course, now that I'm just a white body, I'm just coming to Luozhong to rescue my relatives and friends, and saying these words makes Wen Qi laugh. β
Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again: "My family is rich, but my mother often teaches me that waste beyond personal needs is meaningless, and the truth in the world is all figured out, why not joke or laugh?" But it is another thing that Brother Meng De said...... With all due respect, it's useless for you to return to Luo at this time! I am in Shangshutai, I can hear some big and small affairs, the heart of the Son of Heaven is very strong, and the Song family is full of turns. β
Cao Cao, who had just picked up the bean porridge, couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this, and actually put the pottery bowl back on the case in front of the two of them: "Yes, I have been in Luozhong for a few days, and I have also found a lot of information, and I have replied to me like this." But no matter what, as an in-law, I always have to try my best to rescue ...... at this time."
"I can't save it." Gongsun Xun shook his head again and again to persuade again. "The Son of Heaven ordered the execution of the Song family, but he threw the queen in the violent room and ignored it, as if he wanted to wait for the queen to die herself...... This kind of hatred is well known, and Brother Meng De is just collecting the corpse for his relatives in Luo. β
Cao Cao became more and more gloomy: "Actually, I also understand that looking at the hatred of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that there is no reason to turn around at all...... And now that I think about it, when I gained power that day, not to mention the Song family, I was also a little unscrupulous, and it was simple to kill Jian Shuo's uncle, but don't blame Jian Shuo for secretly hating the queen. β
"Brother Meng De, do you regret this?" After Gongsun Xun took a bite of bean porridge, he couldn't help but be curious.
"What about regrets?" Cao Cao said disapprehantly. "I was born in Eun Yin, and those boys of Yuan Shao often make fun of me for this, if I can't oppose the eunuchs, how can I be accepted by the scholars? And if it can't be accepted by the scholars, I have studied hard for more than ten years, and I am determined to be the general of the expedition to the west, how can I start? β
Gongsun Xun also sighed: "Actually, Brother Meng De is quite good, after all, you have the position of minister in your family, and you have a wide range of friends in the clan." If you go out of the county like me, then you don't rely on the rod to kill others to get the approval of the scholars......"
"So what?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask with a forced smile.
"Rely on Bo's own life!" Gongsun Xun replied with a sneer. "Or else?"
Cao Cao was immediately solemn, then raised his glass and said: "I am also a helpless person in the world, and I have a drink." β
Gongsun Xun also hurriedly clinked his glass and drank this cup of lackluster wine.
"However, if you only talk about the situation at this time, Wen Qi is ten times better than me after all!" Cao Cao also sighed a little after drinking. "You are planning something big in Shangshutai, but I have nothing to do in Luozhong, just waiting to collect the corpses of my relatives...... After this incident, I can only go back to my hometown to live idlely. β
Gongsun Xun didn't refute it, because this is a fact, Cao Mengde in front of him is probably at the lowest point in his life, where is there a little bit of Wei Wu's arrogance in the future?
However, what the other party said made Gongsun Xun's heart move, and he naturally remembered the situation of Sun Jian and Liu Bei.
In other words, although Sun Wentai has never met, he was just a county official before he left the fortress, and after the defeat of the army, the so-called lack of merit was impossible to be promoted, as if vaguely heard people say that he should continue to go back to be his county minister.
As for Liu Bei, although I don't know what this kid is doing now, how can I think that the most I can do is to be a ranger leader in my hometown? Maybe you can write to ask.
And as soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xunfu remembered Lu Bu who had a relationship, at this moment, is this tiger in the world learning the piano or practicing martial arts? But it's always a white body, right? I don't know if this guy really believes in the nonsense of the three-year covenant? You know, at that time, I thought that I was going to stay in Yanmen for two or three years, so I opened my mouth, even if the other party really found it, I could also recommend it to Yanmen Taishou in a letter...... And if this is waited until the three-year period, he happens to release a county magistrate, and Lu Bu really finds it, so he wants to give him a county official to do it?
If you continue to think about it, there is also Liu Biao, who lives at home because of the disaster of the party, and Han Sui, who has seniority in Xiliang, it seems that they are not very good? Ma Teng is also a person without a shadow. It's his brother Sun Zhan, who should also be sitting at home at this time, waiting for October's filial piety, right?
That is, a Han Zhongliang Dong Fangbo, who has contributed to stabilizing the situation in the state, it is said that the imperial court intends to give him a big county as a county guard, which is in full swing. And Liu Yu seems to be about to return to Luo to be promoted, and he should also be released for a term of 2,000 stones. However, counting Liu Yan, these three people are the bosses of the older generation after all, and they must be incomparable.
Of course, there are also the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, they don't care about their official positions and careers, because the surname itself is the biggest identity in the world.
Coughing, if you really want to count it like this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel a little weak and dazed...... After all, he always feels that time is running out, and then he hates that he will be punished tomorrow, and he will be a county magistrate the day after tomorrow, and he will be able to become two thousand stones the day after tomorrow, otherwise he will not be able to save his life! But why, mixing around but mixing is stronger than the universality of these princes from all walks of life who will be engaged in wind and rain in the future?
Is that really good?!
Judging from this time and the time of the first year, aside from the older generation of Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan, and Liu Yu, and then put aside the Yuan brothers who are not guilty of war, looking at it, which of the princes who will be rampant in the world in the future will have their own mix? !
"What is Wen Qi thinking?" Cao Cao couldn't help but shout at the other party.
"Brother Mengde, forgive me." Gongsun Xun hurriedly smiled. "I heard you say that the future is in turmoil, and I can't help but think of the heroes I have seen when I have traveled from south to north over the years, and if I think about it carefully, most of them are also in the midst of waste......
"Oh?"
"Brother Meng De, have you heard of the deeds of Sun Wentai, the Jiangdong Tiger?"
"I want to hear about it!"
ββ¦β¦β
Just when Gongsun Xun and Cao Mengde were arguing about bitter wine, Qiao Xuan finally confronted the Son of Heaven in the North Palace.
In other words, the Son of Heaven heard in advance that Qiao Xuan urged Yang Qiu to attack, and his heart was already quite shocked, and at this time, he saw the other party standing at the bottom of the stairs with his head held high and his momentum undiminished, and he immediately felt a little weak: "There is such a big incident in the Qing family, why don't you stay at home to comfort you, why do you come to the palace to thank you all the time?" Jian Shuo, quickly give me a ......"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but you don't have to be so moving!" Qiao Xuan bowed, and then replied proudly. "The minister came to the palace for nothing more than three sentences, and he left after talking to His Majesty."
"I said it bluntly."
"The youngest son of the minister's family is just a child, but the son of labor pays attention to it and dispatches the tiger army to rescue him, no matter what, the minister should come to thank him."
"Of course." Since it was just a private meeting between the monarch and the ministers, the Son of Heaven didn't care about the etiquette, and immediately got up to answer.
"Secondly, the minister thinks that the abduction can be attacked but not indulged, and it can be strong but not weak, otherwise it is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao...... Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to make a clear decree to Shangshutai and preach the counties of the world as a rule! β
The Son of Heaven remembered the situation at that time that the chamberlain had said before, and became more and more emotional, so he couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "Qing's words, it should be the law of eternity, I immediately let the Huangmen Supervisor draw up a decree, and the county of the world will be clearly issued, and all the hijackers are only allowed to attack and not connived, and officials from all over the country are not allowed to blame the casualties of the hostages on the soldiers who attacked on the spot!" So, what do you think? β
"Great goodness!"
"In that case, what is the third sentence of Qing?"
"Returning to Your Majesty." Qiao Xuan bowed slightly. "The young son of the minister was playing in front of his house, but he was hit by this, which shows how bad the law and order in Luozhong is now......"
"What Qing said is very true." The Son of Heaven's complaint to Qiao Xuan was also a little expected, so he immediately explained. "Fortunately, I have dismissed the captain of Si Li, who did nothing before, and Yang Qiu is the important responsibility, although this person has just taken office today, but I think it will live up to expectations......
"Yang Qiu is fierce, maybe he can be the responsibility of Luozhong." Qiao Xuan bowed slightly, but suddenly changed his words. "And as a doctor of Guanglu, he shouldn't care about the situation in Luozhong......"
"What do you mean?" The Son of Heaven couldn't help but be stunned.
"Your Majesty, do you know that since you ascended the throne, there have been more and more bandits in the world day by day, and the situation has become worse day by day......
"Ahem!"
"However, Your Majesty was young at that time, and how the situation collapsed has nothing to do with Your Majesty."
"That's ...... too"
"But now that Your Majesty is pro-government, the Three Princes, Shang Shutai, and Huangmen Eunuch are all the people chosen by Your Majesty, if the situation collapses again, it will inevitably be shamed by the people of the world!"
"You might as well speak up."
"The minister is grateful for the matter of the young son, and he used the old bones to clean up the law and order in the world for His Majesty!" Qiao Xuan immediately bowed down. "Since Yangqiu is worshiped as the captain of the school, Shangshu is vacant, and the minister is willing to deserve it for His Majesty!"
The Son of Heaven was immediately stunned.
"Why didn't Your Majesty say anything?" Qiao Xuan looked up and asked.
"Hey......"
"Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that the qualifications and morals of the ministers are not enough to take on this important responsibility?"
"A famous minister in Qinghai, the hope of the world......"
"Then why did Your Majesty hesitate and not say anything?" Qiao Xuan asked angrily. "When His Majesty was young, he summoned the ministers into Luo, worshiped as the Tai Lieutenant, and the ministers were old and decayed, which was originally to be resigned, but His Majesty said in his will that the court needed such loyal and good people, and the ministers felt the sincerity of His Majesty, so he left his hometown and entered Luo with an old and sick body. But now, His Majesty is pro-government, and would rather appoint people like Wang Fu and Zhang Hao to be in charge of the government, and the ministers take the initiative to ask for a book order, but His Majesty is not willing to give the ministers even a few months, and it is not enough for the ministers to try their own arrows...... Could it be that this is the solidity of His Majesty, and that day it was just to see the name of the minister in the sea, and he wanted to make a wood carving in the court......"
The Son of Heaven had no choice but to ask for help left and right, however, even the two permanent servants Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, whom he relied on the most, were also helpless, but they all signaled him to give in, so the Son of Heaven had to personally go down the steps to help the famous minister on the ground.
"What are you talking about?" The Son of Heaven supported Qiao Xuan, and his kind words corresponded. "With Qing's qualifications, morality, and merits, it is only a trial of Shangshu for a few months, and it is only natural to ask for the position of Situ that has just been vacated...... In fact, I wish Qing would like to take up a real position to share my worries! I was surprised just now, but I never thought that Qing would take the initiative to apply for a job at such a young age! β
Qiao Xuan bowed slightly, and was about to thank him, but when he saw the Son of Heaven, he sighed again: "Okay, I originally wanted Yuan Qing, the captain of Changshui, to be the position of Situ, but I didn't expect him to be so blessed...... That's good, please go back and make a little preparation, I will worship Qing as Situ tomorrow and lead the book! β
Qiao Xuan held his head high and thanked him, as if he took it for granted.
And that's not all, Qiao Xuan said goodbye and returned, and the Son of Heaven asked several of the middle servants present to send the old man out of the palace on his behalf, which is a matter.
Gongsun Xun, who was far away in Qiao Xuan's house, naturally didn't think that this old man couldn't handle the position of a mere Shangshuling, but after learning that the other party came back so soon, he still admired it.
"Brother Mengde...... Let the anecdotes of his younger brother Cao Hong be put aside for the time being. Gongsun Xun got up with a smile and said. When the bridge returned home, you and I stole other people's wine, so it was not good not to greet them. β
Cao Cao laughed, but he also stood up, and then the two of them helped each other and walked down from the attic.
At this time, it was dusk, the light and shadow were swaying, and when passing downstairs, Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the attic window, and then squinted and smiled: "I'm just the shadow of the window, isn't that arrow shot by Wen Qi before?" β
Seeing this, Gongsun Xun also smiled: "We are drinking here, and the people who hurt us haven't had time to pull out this arrow." β
Under the setting sun, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head: "Wen Qi said that he was born in a border area, but you probably don't know, but I, Cao Mengde, am extremely envious of your style, talking and laughing and killing thieves, and running rampant...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, but Wen Qi's arrow is really a miracle shot! β
Gongsun Xun's face became more and more cheerful, but in his heart, he remembered the abduction at noon before...... It is said that at that time, he took the opportunity to shoot this Wei Wuzhi with random arrows.
However, he didn't want to hurt innocent children; Second, there are many people with mixed mouths, Cao Mengde is not a white body of Xia Yu, and his righteousness may never be able to keep his mouth shut; Third, after he got that thought, he was also a wake-up call, after all, he was going to sit and watch the success or failure of Liaoxi according to his mother's words, so why should he be so murderous?
Of course, at this moment, Gongsun Xun has no killing intent...... Because, at this time, Cao Mengde was really down, and he didn't need to be afraid.
The two were half really drunk, half self-drunk, and helped each other to the door, and happened to meet Qiao Xuan, who was returning home.
And Qiao Xuan looked at the two of them, but suddenly changed color: "The only few pots of wine in my house, are they all gone?!" β
Cao Cao nodded like pounding garlic: "At the beginning, I only stole half a pot that I didn't drink last time, and then I tasted the young handsome man with Wen Qi, and the conversation was really in the alley, so I couldn't help but ......open the few unopened pots of wine from Qiao Gong."
"Get out of here!" Qiao Xuan was immediately furious. "The three thieves didn't let me add half a cent, but the two of you want to bankrupt my family!"
The two of them were not angry, they just laughed, and then they continued to help each other to go out, and said who they would go next to continue drinking.
However, at this moment, Qiao Xuan suddenly called out to one of them again: "Meng De will go first, I will fulfill the Shangshu Order tomorrow, and I am about to discuss a business with Wen Qi......"
Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and immediately surrendered his hand.
said that it was a business matter, but in fact, Qiao Xuan explained his situation, bluntly said that his Shangshu order was not safe, and then officially urged Gongsun Xun to start it quickly...... In a moment, he was done.
In this regard, Gongsun Xun naturally agreed, and then went to chase Cao Cao and continue to drink.
However, just after taking two steps and facing the sunset, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around again and called Qiao Xuan: "Gong Qiao, I happen to have something to ask you." β
Qiao Xuan also turned around disapprerovingly: "If you have something to say, talk about it quickly." β
"If the eunuch is successful, then in the heart of Gong Qiao, who is better than me or Meng De?" Gongsun Xun was obviously drunk.
Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment, but he flicked his sleeves and went straight home: "I'm going to see my son, this kind of trivial matter, if the eunuch is successful, it's okay for you to ask again!" β
Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing.
βββββββI am a more beautiful dividing line than Xu Gong in the north of the cityβββββββββ
"Cao Cao, the word Mengde, Peiguo Qiao County is also ...... In the past, he was in Luo, and Taizu was valued by Situ Qiaoxuan, but Xuan had been practicing for a long time, especially if he thought so. In the first year of Guanghe, there were three thieves armed to rob Xuan's young son, and went upstairs to ask for goods. Taizu was on the side, leading the guests in, luring the thief to go downstairs to identify the gold, laughing and shooting, and immediately killed in front, the remaining thief was terrified, and the building was opened, and the young son of Xuan was also safe. After coming out, Cao Nai sighed: 'I don't mean that Wenqi is brave and fierce, I have the style of ancient famous generals, I am really not as good!' 'Later, the more I respect Taizu. βThe Book of Old Swallows. Volume XXVII. The second of the family
