Zizhu Forest is located in the west of Chang'an, formerly known as Zizhu Village, because the bamboo is much longer, so everyone calls him Zizhu Forest.

The environment of the purple bamboo forest is very good, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and a layer of light fog is enchanting in the bamboo forest, which is like a fairyland.

If it weren't for the fact that he came to Gongsun Hong, Ruoyao really felt that Wei Qing had brought him here to talk about love.

Because this place is really suitable for young couples holding hands, the air is good and no one disturbs.

In the thatched hut of the private school in Zizhu Village, Gongsun Hong is teaching two students, and it seems that life is very leisurely.

Gongsun Hong is over sixty years old, and he is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and now he is the history of the imperial court.

Although he is an official, he is a very leisurely official, almost an empty shell.

For example, if he doesn't go to work for a year, no one will look for him, and even many people in the court think that Sun Hong, the prince of Zuo Neishi, has returned to his hometown and returned to old age, and in the final analysis, he is an empty salary.

Gongsun Hong's life was also very bumpy, and he went through several ups and downs.

In the seventh year of Han Gaozu, Gongsun Hong was born in Xue County, Suchuan State, and worked as a prison official in his hometown Xue County when he was young, and was later dismissed for breaking the law. Gongsun Hong, who lost his position, had no financial resources, so he went to the sea to herd pigs.

In the first year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he was famous for his knowledge of "poems" and "books", and was recruited as a doctor, and was promoted to the position of Taizhong doctor within a year. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Hong was mainly engaged in civilian official positions, and was later dismissed for unknown reasons.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che ascended the throne, he was bent on regaining imperial power from the hands of the Dou family, so he issued an edict asking officials of more than 2,000 stone in the court and county to recommend "virtuous and square" and "outspoken and extremely admonishable" people.

Gongsun Hong, who was sixty years old at the time, was recommended to the court by the Sugawa Kingdom in the name of "virtuous".

After coming to Chang'an, Liu Che promoted a series of new policies and reforms, but these reforms and new policies failed because they threatened the interests of the aristocracy.

And everyone who was called by Liu Che as a wise man back then has already returned to their hometown.

"Teacher." Wei Qing walked to the door of the straw shed and bowed with great interest.

Gongsun Hong was dazzled by old age, and saw a soldier in a military uniform at the door, but he couldn't see the specifics clearly, so he walked forward, and then he saw who it was: "Wei Qing, hehe, why are you here?" ”

Wei Qing stepped forward to help: "I came to see you on a special trip, and I haven't come here because of the busy military affairs in recent days." ”

Gongsun Hong was over sixty years old, but his legs and feet were sharp, he turned around and dismissed the students, and then turned to look at Ruoyao and asked, "This, how can this Shen Jia look beautiful." ”

Ruoyao was happy when she heard this, it seemed that she was indeed younger and more beautiful than Mrs. Shen.

Wei Qing explained with a smile: "Old man, this is not Shen Jia, it's Ruoyao. ”

Gongsun Hong's eyes were empty after hearing this, he remembered that when Wei Qing got married, his wife was Shen Jia: "It's not Shen Jia." ”

"Ruoyao has seen Lord Gongsun, and this girl is Wei Qing's deputy general." Ruoyao replied seriously.

Gongsun Hong's face stiffened after hearing this, and suddenly became smiling again, as if he had figured it out: "Oh, hehe, okay, go, please in the house, please in the house." ”

Gongsun Hong took Wei Qing and Ruoyao to the grass hut.

It is indeed a good place to retire, there is a vegetable garden at the door, surrounded by a few peach trees, and flocks of chickens and ducks.

Gongsun Hong entered the house to make tea, Ruoyao was stupid and glared at Wei Qing.

Ruoyao feels that the relationship between Wei Qing and Gongsun Hong is not ordinary, Wei Qing recommended Gongsun Hong as prime minister, this is not an ordinary relationship that can be done, complement each other, Wei Qing's ability to have today must be related to Gongsun Hong.

"Is Gongsun Hong your master?" Ruoyao looked at Gongsun Hong, who was making tea at the window, and asked Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, stared at Ruoyao and asked, "How did you see it?" ”

Sure enough, Ruoyao was a little excited for some reason: "There is no cow in this world who is born, and there are more or less masters behind him." After speaking, I thought of Huo Quai, if he didn't have Wei Qing, he would be very ordinary.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, Gongsun Hong also walked out with a teapot, and his form had a feeling of fairy wind and bones.

"I'll do it." Ruoyao is very sensible, and Malier got up and took the teapot and filled it for the two of them.

Wei Qing and Gongsun Hong sat at the stone table outside the courtyard like this.

I talked about Gongsun Hong earlier, and now let's talk about the relationship between Gongsun Hong and Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was on an errand in the Pingyang Hou Mansion in his early years, and Gongsun Hong at that time was already a doctor in the imperial court.

It's a pity that Gongsun Hongsheng was not born at the right time, and Liu Che's new policy was strangled in the cradle by the Xiongnu and the Dou family, and he collapsed; However, Wei Qing was born at the right time, and after Dou's death, Liu Che began a series of external strong armies.

In terms of environment, Gongsun Hong is a native of Jiangchuan, has no relatives and no reason in Chang'an, and Wei Qing is a native of Pingyang, and is often looked down upon in the imperial court.

Gongsun Hong can be said to be the second benefactor of Wei Qing's career, Princess Pingyang is the first, in the imperial court for a few years, Gongsun Hong gave Wei Qing a lot of guidance, especially the formation of the Gate Army, which was planned and guided by Gongsun Hong.

The original intention of the formation of the Qimen Army was to form an army of his own for Liu Che, so that he could deal with the forces of other magnates in the imperial court, and it was also the first step in the plan to seize power by a strong army.

"The general of the car cavalry Dragon City is glorious and glorious, although your position is not high now, but the weight, it is not like the three princes, how can you have time to see the old man." Gongsun Hong Min asked Min Chashui.

Wei Qing lifted the helmet on the table with his hand and said: "The teacher should not tease the students, although the teacher teaches in the grass shed, he still cares about political affairs, but I think the teacher is not at peace in his heart." ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Hong actually looked at Wei Qing and smiled.

Ruoyao lifted the teapot and said while adding tea: "Our general, I came to invite you out of the mountain. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Hong frowned and touched his beard: "The old man has already had gray temples, and the loess has already covered his chin, hehe, now I just want to teach students and enjoy my old age in peace." ”

After hearing this, Wei Qing also said with a sigh of tea: "Ruoyao is wrong in what she said, she is not going out of the mountain, she is here to persuade Lord Gongsun to perform her duties, don't occupy an official position all day long and don't do anything, and return the white-collar court." ”

Ruoyao can feel from these words that the relationship between the two is indeed extraordinary.

"The old man has more than enough heart but not enough strength, it is estimated that His Majesty has long forgotten the old man, the old man has been in the bamboo forest for half a year, and the court only cares about the money according to the time, so they are too lazy to care." Gongsun Hong was a little helpless.

Wei Qing slowly put the teacup on the table, and then said, "Xue Ze was deposed, do you know?" ”

Gongsun Hong didn't smile after hearing this, he was so old, and his official position was low, how could he jump into the dragon gate, so he smiled and said: "The prime minister is the head of the three princes and the head of the hundred officials, this is a pipe dream." ”

Wei Qing said: "There are many officials in the imperial court, and there are many qualifications, and any one of Jiuqing can be prime ministers." After speaking, he looked at Gongsun Hong affectionately and said, "But, what Your Majesty wants is a person of your own." ”
