Chapter 37: Generosity (II)

"The county order holds a county decree, and everything has arbitrary powers, no matter how big or small, you go to Xiangping, I am not afraid that you will encounter any setbacks, nor am I afraid that you will be bullied by the officials and resisted by the clan, I am afraid that you will bully others, unscrupulous, and even cause chaos again!" It was dark, and under a lamp, a tall and thin man sitting on a futon said. "Be cautious."

"Look at what the teacher said." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting opposite, immediately smiled. "I have a county order, or a county order where the county government is located, no matter how unscrupulous I am, what kind of trouble can I cause? Is it still possible to chase the invading Xianbei people all the way to Danhan Mountain? Besides, whether this county order can get out of Luoyang City today is a matter of two words. ”

"One thing to one thing." The tall and thin man, that is, Lu Zhi, was neither angry nor anxious, but continued to teach a serious lesson. "You have arrived here, and I can't do anything about today's affairs, so I can only urge you to do more virtuous politics after you take office......

"Where in the world is there any virtue and politics?" Gongsun Xun sneered again.

"What do you mean?" Lu Zhi rarely spoke in a high tone.

"That's not what I said." Seeing this, Gongsun Xun hurriedly explained. "This is what I heard from Liu Shi and Lu Gong last night, both of them are long-serving local elders, but they all have the same words, I think there is some truth."

On the side of the candle flame, Lu Zhi's face looked a little cloudy: "As you said, both of them are long-serving local elders, and there must be some truth when they both say this, but you should not intercept it without permission and misinterpret its meaning...... What did both of you say? ”

"It's just the same." Gongsun Xun smiled slightly. "I first asked Liu Shi how to govern, and he told me a way of forgiveness, so I asked back about the style of Qiao Gong's governance; Then I asked Qiao Gong how to govern, and he really told me a serious way, but I was asked back about Liu Shi's governing style......"

Lu Zhi's face moved slightly.

So the two of them said frankly at this time, where is there any virtue and politics in the world? The so-called administrative place, as long as the superior can understand the people's feelings and not do bad governance, it is already a blessing for the locality, and it can be called a follower; And if this is the basis, whether it is further strict law and discipline or forgiveness and education, in fact, it can already be called a good official; As for that, if it can be further developed, then it can be called a famous minister and a good shepherd. ”

Facing the students who were talking eloquently, Lu Zhi was speechless for a while...... To put it bluntly, although Mr. Lu has a doctorate, he can be a thief, and he is too guarded, and then he can still take charge of Cao, the most important official in Shangshutai. But among them, he actually has very little experience in the local office, and he has been a Taishou twice, not to mention that his term of office is very short, and he is still going to quell the rebellion, the so-called 'firefighting Taishou', for how to govern locally, he really can't stand up in front of his own students, not to mention Liu Kuan and Qiao Xuan, two famous ministers from recognized places in the classics.

"Since Duke Lu and Duke Liu both have an explanation, then I won't say much." After a half-stop, Lu Zhi shook his head and said. "In short, when you come to Liaodong, don't be worried about the remoteness of the place, and don't act recklessly because your family power can cover the other place...... Although the second prince said that there was no virtue and politics, he also hinted in his words that you should not be a cool official! ”

"That's what I heard." Gongsun Xun immediately shook his head with a wry smile. "And it's no wonder that Ergong is sarcastic in his words, it's really my Luozhong, how do you look like a cool official, not to mention that it's so close to Yangqiu...... Yang Fangzheng is a person who is dead this time, and he is also going to enter the "Biography of the Cool Officials". ”

Lu Zhi sighed slightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, there were gradually some sounds under the porch of the door, and the light was much brighter, and the teachers and students did not say much, but just blew out the lights and sat quietly.

After I don't know how long, I gradually heard a noise outside the door, and then after a while, someone actually knocked on the door directly: "Lu Shangshu, Shangshu Ling Cao Gong is invited!" ”

Lu Zhi sat still, but Gongsun Xun picked up the two documents on the cases in front of him and stood up straight.

The door of the room was open, the corridor outside was bright in the morning, the chicken coop outside the corridor was still noisy, and many Shangshulang, Shangshu Changshi, and a few small yellow doors were as hurried as always...... That's right, this place is actually Luoyang Nangong Shangshutai, and Gongsun Xun actually came here directly with his teacher before dawn.

"Gong ......" The person who called the door outside the door saw the person who came out, and he only said half a word and then immediately stood on the spot.

In fact, not only this person, but many people who came and went under the corridor were also dumbfounded...... These people may not know about the complicated things that happened after noon yesterday, but they all know about the fact that Yang Qiu, Chen Qiu and the other four people were imprisoned for treason before yesterday, and they probably all know that Wang Lang got the signal from Lu Zhi and Liu Tao to report the news, and they all know the fact that Gongsun Xun hid in his home for nearly a month after Cao Jie became Shang Shuling.

In that case, who gave him the courage to move against the wind today, and suddenly came here to face Cao Jie...... Crazy?

"Brother Dong, is Shang Shuling already here?" Gongsun Xun held the two documents and asked calmly.

"Uh, uh...... Be! "It took a lot of effort to get over." Shang Shuling invited Lu Shangshu to ......"

"I have something to look for Cao Gong for a while, you can take me over, and come to find my teacher later."

"Ah...... Good! The person who came could only reply like this, and he was also very curious about what Gongsun Xun wanted to do when he took the initiative to send it to the door. Let's ......."

Before the words fell, Gongsun Xun was already holding the document in both hands and set off first.

Shang Shutai, who controls the political affairs of the world, is actually not very large, and the house where Shang Shuling is located is not very far, but it is just two turns along the corridor. As soon as he walked through the last corner, Gongsun Xun saw Cao Hanfeng, who couldn't even cover the white hair.

At the same time, Cao Jie also saw each other as a matter of course.

"Cao Gong." Gongsun Xun is neither humble nor arrogant, and he bows his body and is half polite.

"Gongsun Xun," after a few dozen breaths, Cao Jie stared at the young man in front of him and spoke. "Why are you here?"

"Return to Gong Cao." Gongsun Xun raised the paperwork in his hand and replied calmly. "I am going to Liaodong to serve as Xiangping Ling, and you are Shang Shuling, I am Shang Shulang, and I should come to resign and ask for advice."

"I see." Cao Jie nodded slightly, and then raised his hand under the corridor. "Don't talk about this, in fact, there is no need to have many scruples between you and me, I just ask you, don't you know that the tiger army inside and outside the South Palace is my governor?"

As soon as these words came out, Dong Langzhong and several people around him couldn't help but change color together, and the few people who probed their brains turned their heads and ran together, not knowing whether to call people or report the news.

"How could you not know?" Gongsun Xun also immediately responded. "Not to mention that the Tiger Benjun was rightfully supervised by Cao Gong at this time, that is, when he was not supervised by Cao Gong that day, wasn't Yu Shi also loyal to Cao Gong, and then lied to me? If it weren't for that, I am afraid that these calamities would not have been there a long time ago...... Xun often regrets it! ”

Cao Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.

"But there's no point in talking about these old things." Gongsun Xun said loudly again. "As Cao Gong said, the Tiger Ben Army is outside, and they are also loyal to Cao Gong...... But what's my business? Did my grandson Wenqi commit any crime? ”

Cao Hanfeng stared at the other party and was silent for a long time, but suddenly nodded: "It's really none of your business, but I still remember the old things, and I actually thought that you were also in the Yangqiu case in a trance, but in fact, you have been on leave for more than a month, and it has nothing to do with this case...... When you are old, Gongsun Langzhong doesn't have to care. ”

Gongsun Xun immediately smiled, and at this time, more and more people gathered around, and there were two Shangshu.

"But," Cao Jiefu said lightly. "There is no deep friendship between you and me, although it is etiquette for Lang Zhong to ask me to resign, I have nothing to explain to you!"

"That's fine," Gongsun Xun suddenly stepped forward with the paperwork in his hand and said loudly. "Although Cao Gong didn't want to explain anything to me, I had a word to Cao Gong like a fish in my throat, and I didn't vomit or be unhappy!"

"Come on." Cao Jie's face still did not change, but he held his head high, and he also took half a step forward. "Weak-crowned boy, what do you have to teach me?"

"Duke Cao is in charge of both internal and external affairs, in charge of the world's government decrees and access, and his power and responsibility are the crown of the world, in this case, don't you know the truth of mercy?" Gongsun Xun got straight to the point and said bluntly. "I still don't know what is going on with the guilt of the four princes of Yangqiu, Chen Qiu, Liu He, and Liu Ne, and I have a low status, so I shouldn't talk about cases of this level, but in terms of common sense, the four of them are all in prominent positions, even if they have a plan, they will not be aimed at the Son of Heaven...... Saying that they are plotting rebellion, who in the world believes it?! ”

"Your status is low, so naturally you don't know the whole story." Cao Jie said disapprerovitically. "Yesterday, Your Majesty asked me to discuss this matter with Cheng Huang, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Taiwei Liu Kuan, Sikong Yuan Kui, Guanglu Doctor Yang Ci, Taizhong Doctor Qiao Xuan and other important ministers, and we have already reached a conclusion...... These four people did not plot rebellion, and they also had the heart of rebellion to infringe on the authority of the Son of Heaven. The four of them had letters to each other, wanting to arrange Yang Qiu to be the lieutenant of Si Li, and then asking him to kill whoever he would kill after taking office, and they were also preparing to promote Chen Qiu as the third duke...... I ask you, can this kind of guilt be easily let go?! ”

The surrounding people changed color, and even Liu Tao, who rushed to hear the news, was also pale...... Although he knew that these people were trying to deal with Cao Jie, he was afraid that no matter who he was, he would be killed.

"That's why I say the way of forgiveness," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh. "As Cao Gong said, my status is low, and I don't know the whole story, but since it is not a conspiracy to rebel, Cao Gong, as an auxiliary minister, shouldn't he have some advice to protect the family members of the fourth duke?"

"Why should I save the families of these four?" Cao Jie couldn't help but sneer. "What does it matter to me that his generation is looking for his own ideas and affecting his family?"

"As I said, Duke Cao is both inside and outside, and he is an auxiliary minister, and a minister should have the posture of a minister." Gongsun Xun immediately protested proudly. "Moreover, even if there is no intention of forgiveness, then it should not fall into the trap and persecute innocent family members without authorization, and when Yang Gong and I killed Wang Fu and Duan Xi, it did not extend to innocent family members......

"When did I persecute the family of the criminal again?!"

"What is it about allowing Cao Poshi, a lewd and violent mad dog who is famous in Luozhong, to search the home of an unconvicted criminal?!" Gongsun Xun asked sharply. "With such a move, I don't know what Cao Gong will use to serve the world?! If you live on the top today, you can destroy people's families, and if others live on top in the future, can't you do the opposite?! Cao Gong doesn't have any family members?! ”

Cao Jie was speechless for a while, but he still stared at the other party.

"I know what Cao Gong wants to say!" Gongsun Xun threw the Chinese book on the ground before he said angrily. "Cao Gong wants to say that you are a powerful minister, and you can kill the two armies of Huben and Yulin in the second army, inside and outside the north and south palaces, if you are less than 2,000 stones...... I lost my honor in front of a heavy minister like you today, and Cao Gong can naturally kill him if he wants to! But please Cao Gong, don't think that killing a few people can block the mouths of people in the world! Since Dou Wu and Chen Fan, have there been fewer people killed by Cao Gong? Did you block the mouth of the world?! Cao Gong doesn't want to think about it, why are so many people not afraid of life and death, but they want to go against you?! ”

All the Shangshu and Shangshulang are all discolored...... Is this looking for death?! In such a situation, Liu Tao couldn't help but hold the sleeve of a Shangshu next to him, and when Cao Jie was angry, he wanted to forcibly pull this colleague to stop him!

It's just, where is Lu Zigan?!

Cao Hanfeng stared at the young man in front of him expressionlessly, he had no beard under his chin, but there was a strand of gray hair fluttering gently under the high crown, I don't know if it was an alternative beard or simply the wind came out of the opposite window.

On the other side, Gongsun Xun has already begun to play the drum in his heart...... He swears it was the hardest time of his life so far!

When Lu Longsai attacked Ke Zique at night that day, he still had a horse in his crotch to rely on; When he was in the camp of Ke Zitan that day, he still had four henchmen who followed him to support; When he was at the foot of Danhan Mountain, he had more than 1,000 elite Han troops to rely on......

In those times, whether it was life or death, it was all chosen by oneself and done by oneself...... If he dies, his skills are not as good as others, and his strength is not as good as others, but although he is taller and stronger than Cao Jie today, he seems to be a little inexplicably sure, but as long as the other party says a word, he will end up with Duan Xi!

Not only did he die, but he also affected his family, and he also had to make his mother have no thoughts of life...... It's a pity that I don't have a child yet! I knew that I shouldn't have let Zhao Yun do everything, I should have accepted a few concubines early and had children.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Jie suddenly had a move!

I saw him bend down slightly, picked up the documents on the ground in front of him, slapped the dust on it again, and then handed it back to Gongsun Xun: "What Wen Qi said is quite reasonable, those who are in power should give priority to forgiveness, no matter what, how can it harm the family?" This is your paperwork, take it...... This time I was really wrong! ”

Not to mention how others reacted, Gongsun Xun, who took the paperwork, was sweating like a pulp, and he only felt a lot lighter all over his body.

"...... so?"

"That being the case," replied Cao Jie, clasping his hands. "I will be the son of heaven, and all the dependents of these four people will be reinstated, and they will not be investigated."

"Cao Gong is benevolent and virtuous, and there will be blessings."

"I don't want any good fortune." Cao Jie couldn't help but shake his head and smiled. "Just ask for the safety of your family...... My sons and daughters all went to my hometown in Wei County to worship my ancestors, Wen Qi might as well go to another place on the way to take office, and bring a message for me, so that they can return to Luo as soon as possible. ”

"It's natural." This is the agreement to hand over people in Hebei, and of course Gongsun Xun has nothing to say.

"In that case, you should go to the bus office to exchange documents and hand in the seals!" Cao Jie waved his hand casually.

Gongsun Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed half to the other party, and then bowed to each other in the surprised eyes of Liu Tao and others.

However, just as Gongsun Xun was about to leave Luoyang Nangong, which was full of tiger troops, Cao Jie, who had been holding his hands still, suddenly laughed, and then called out to him: "After Gongsun Langzhong spoke brilliantly just now, he was silent for a long time...... What are you thinking? ”

In other words, Cao Jie spoke softly, but as soon as he spoke, many important ministers and personnel in Shangshutai, who were still saying goodbye, all held their breath, and Shangshutai was silent again.

"Don't hide it from Gong Cao," Gongsun Xun, who was already preparing to leave, had no pressure, but he could be regarded as honest. "I was thinking just now that I should have taken more concubines and spread out the branches, so that if I die today, my widow can also rely on it."

"Are people like you afraid of death?" Cao Jie stood in front of Shang Shuling's room, facing the chicken coop outside the corridor, but he didn't move.

"Who in the world is not afraid of death?" Gongsun Xun said disapprerovitically. "In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler ......"

"Fighting wine and entertainment, talking thick is not thin." Cao Jie took it softly. "How well this poem is written! Man, it's better to live, and when you die, there's nothing left......"

Gongsun Xun was silent.

"But Gongsun Langzhong, since you are afraid of death, why did you go to the palace to say this to me? Aren't you afraid that I'm really fierce and let you die in this Nangong? Is it bad to be alive? ”

"In life, there must always be something to do and something not to do." Gongsun Xun looked at the other party's back, and he had already lost his patience. "My words have been exhausted, and Cao Gong is good at doing it himself."

"Your words are finished, but I am not." Cao Jie suddenly turned around and walked over. "Just now I said that as a Shangguan, I didn't have the words to give you to take up the post, but at this time, I already have it."

At this moment, Gongsun Xun, who was standing in the door of Shangshutai, saw Qiao Xuan's figure from a distance, and couldn't help but become more bold...... This is what the other party said last night to press for himself, although it is a little late, but it doesn't matter.

"Please also ask Gong Cao to give advice." Gongsun Xun's heart suddenly settled, naturally casual.

"I remember that not long after you first came to Luozhong, you did a good thing, so you became famous in Jinai...... It's with Duan Xi to openly show his blade on Tonghuo Street, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Then you connected with Yangqiu in Luozhong, participated in the killing of Wang Fu and expelled Yuan Yu in the name of the central capital official, so as to move Jinghua and be valued by scholars, right?"

"Yes!"

"Do you know how I see your two feats?" As he spoke, Cao Jie had already paced in front of Gongsun Xun.

"I don't know." Gongsun Xun responded frankly.

"To tell you the truth, I'm very unimpressed." Cao Jie shook his head slightly, and then actually stretched out his hand and pointed to the chicken coop outside the window of Shang Shutai. "In my eyes at that time, you were as ridiculous as the little chick jumping outside the window of this Shangshutai!"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but change his complexion.

"Duan Xi is dying, he has long lost his previous courage, a dead tiger without teeth, and you are a white horse Zhonglang with strong blood, what kind of courage is it to show a knife to this kind of person?!"

Gongsun Xun held his appointment document and was silent.

"There is also the matter of killing Wang Fu and expelling Yuan Yu, you ask yourself, do you have any effort? The whole process is just a knife and axe, at most it can be called a trend! ”

Gongsun Xun was still silent.

"It's not that you don't do enough of these things, but that you have to do it with your own strength!" Cao Jie pointed to Shang Shuling's room and said. "There was once a person over there, called 'Tongzi Inner Knife', do you know?"

"This is the story of Zhu Hui, the famous minister of this dynasty." Gongsun Xun replied seriously. "When he was young, he was in the midst of a new rebellion, the world was in turmoil, his family avoided trouble, he encountered robbers on the road, and he robbed the goods, and he wanted to insult the women of the tribe. At that time, the men in the clan who had the courage were already dead, and those who had no courage could only lie on the ground and dare not move, only he was alone with a small knife and stepped forward to confront the robbers, saying, 'You can take away the goods, you can't touch the clothes of your elders, otherwise you will have to fight with you', the robbers sighed at his courage, smiled and persuaded him to 'inner knife' (collect the knife), then gave up the woman and turned away, since then Zhu Hui has been famous all over the world as a child. ”

"Then let me ask you, there are many brave people in this dynasty, and there are also many people who force back the bandits, why can a 'boy's inner knife' be passed down to this day?" Cao Jie didn't wait for the other party to reply, so he asked and answered himself. "It's because he is a boy who does filial piety and righteousness, and is in danger of unbearable! His courage comes from within, not from outside, like you did before! So I Cao Hanfeng can sigh at Zhu Hui's courage when I was studying, but I don't think much of your previous actions, because what you do can easily put others in your position! ”

Gongsun Xun's face remained unchanged, but although Shang Shutai's colleagues did not whisper, they also looked left and right. As for Qiao Xuan, who had already come here, he was motionless at this time, but looked at the situation with great interest.

"But, Gongsun Langzhong." Looking at the other party's pale face, Cao Jie suddenly squinted his eyes again and continued. "Your previous actions were certainly ridiculous in my eyes, but today, for the safety of your relatives, you did not avoid risks, and entered the palace alone to confront me, but there is a faint wind of Zhu Hui's 'boy inner knife'!"

The faces of the crowd suddenly became extremely exciting.

"The same is to be weak to be strong, the same is to put righteousness first, and the same is to convince those of us who have done wrong things!" Cao Jie said slowly. "What is the difference between me picking up and returning the paperwork for you, and the robbers laughing at the boy's knife that day?"

"There are still some differences." Qiao Xuan, who had been watching it for a long time, finally interjected. "Zhu Gong was a boy after all, and although his knife was issued inside, it was not sharp enough. And Wen Qi is getting older, first as a county official and then as a border army, and now he is Shang Shulang, and he will soon be the head of a county...... After some exercise, his knife is already strong inside and outside, as if it is about to be sharp and the crown of the world! ”

"Qiao Gong is a good word!" Cao Jie glanced at Qiao Xuan coldly, and then calmly said to Gongsun Xun. "That being the case, let's go to Xiangping, and I hope Wenqi will do it yourself, don't fall into the power of this 'inner and outer blade, sharp for the crown of the world'!"

"I also hope that Cao Gong will do it himself." Gongsun Xun held the document in his hand, bowed, and then got up and walked to the outside of Shangshutai with Qiao Xuan, who came to pick him up.

Cao Ji sent the two of them to gradually move away along the sentry post of the Tiger Ben Army, and then turned back to the people of Shangshutai and scolded coldly: "In this case, please also do your own duties!" ”

Everyone talked about it and dispersed immediately, but one Shang Shulang was cramped and uneasy, and he didn't dare to move lightly.

"There's no need to invite Lu Shangshu." Seeing this, Cao Jie couldn't help but command. "Dong Langzhong also go by himself, and let me be alone for a while!"

The man hurriedly thanked him and left.

However, when Cao Jie turned around and entered Shang Shuling's room to sit down, and then gradually showed a sad face, he suddenly heard someone knocking on his door.

Cao Jie couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who?" ”

"Cao Shangshu Lu Zhi of the Ministry of Officials, came to visit Shang Shuling." Outside the room was Lu Zigan, who had never shown up before.

Cao Jie hurriedly put away his mourning face and went to open the door, but he was puzzled: "Didn't you ask Dong Langzhong not to invite Lu Shangshu again?" Could it be that he misheard the words? ”

"Definitely." The door opened, and the tall Lu Zhi was standing in front of the door holding a formal briefcase. "It's because I have official business to find the book order......

"I see." Cao Jie hurriedly let the other party out of the house, but he was also extremely polite. "Lu Gong, this is a twist?"

"Exactly." Lu Zhi said calmly. "There is a piece of music that needs to be directly served in front of the emperor, and it just so happens that Shang Shuling is also Da Changqiu, who is in charge of the Yellow Gate Supervisor, so he sent it directly."

Cao Jie has nothing to do: "Lu Shangshu is at ease, I will naturally go to the North Palace in the afternoon, so I will bring ...... for you"

Lu Zhi didn't stay long, and when he heard this, he bowed his hand slightly, and left directly.

And when Lu Zigan left, Cao Hanfeng felt that something was wrong...... In other words, Gongsun Xun confronted himself before, first Liu Tao and then Qiao Xuan, and everyone came here to watch, in fact, they wanted to protect that kid from their own hands...... But why is this Lu Zhi, who is the kid's mentor, have been nesting in his room? Why did this edict have to wait for the kid to leave before it was delivered immediately?

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Hanfeng directly opened the music box that only the Son of Heaven could open, and then untied the knots and read Lu Zigan's notes written on the bamboo slips.

And just glanced at it in a hurry, but Cao Hanfeng was shocked, it turned out that the few words on the song were all blunt advice:

First, it is said that many people in the party are not guilty, please forgive the party members;

Second, Queen Song and her family members were innocently killed, but they did not accept the corpses, so please ask the Son of Heaven to pardon and clean up in order to calm the soul;

Third, the frequent transfer of the county guard and the assassin history is not conducive to the administration, please take it for a period of three years;

Fourth, the recommendation of officials should follow the imperial court system, and those who apply for official positions without authorization and commit crimes should be implicated in recommending the master;

Fifth, the Son of Heaven should personally take care of things, and do not entrust the country's major affairs to some unknown people!

After reading the recital, and thinking about it carefully, Rao is a 'person who is not clear', Cao Hanfeng can't help but sigh...... Lu Zigan is really a famous minister.

Moreover, Cao Jie immediately understood why the other party did not try to help his students, and why the other party waited until his students walked out of Shangshutai before submitting this recital...... This Lu Zhi is simply a hard worker, worried that his actions will in turn affect Gongsun Xun!

It is even conceivable that because his students danced so happily, he had been hiding this letter for a long time! The boy's inner knife, Langzhong's inner knife, why shouldn't this Lu Zhi and Lu Shangshu have an internal knife?

But what does this matter to you?

After some emotion, Cao Jie re-tied the knot, covered the wooden box disappreciably, and prepared to go to the North Palace to face the holy ...... He had already made up his mind that if the Son of Heaven was angry, he would not say much; But if the Son of Heaven still remembers that Lu Zigan is a great Confucian in his hometown and has a bit of incense, then he might as well persuade one or two to protect Lu Zigan.

This is not because he admires Lu Zigan's toughness, but according to what Zixian said before his death, he should really be kind to others.

"Then why did Cao Hanfeng suddenly look at you so differently?" At the same moment, Qiao Xuan, who was slowly walking along the main road of Nangong, suddenly asked.

"How do I know?" Gongsun Xun, who was holding the appointment paperwork, immediately shook his head. "It's not because you see that I'm arrogant, a young hero, so you want to marry his granddaughter to me as a concubine, right?"

Qiao Xuan was thoughtful.

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be speechless: "Is Qiao Gong still serious?" ”

"People think differently than teenagers." Qiao Xuan immediately laughed. "I vaguely feel that Cao Hanfeng has lost all his spirit...... To tell the truth, if my youngest son was not saved that day, I am afraid that it will be the same. ”

"Does the bridge have a granddaughter to marry?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously. "It's not a joke, but neither of my two brothers is married......"

"There are no granddaughters to marry." Qiao Xuan shook his head. "If there is...... Marry them as a wife, to tell the truth, it is better to marry you as a concubine. ”

Gongsun Xun didn't believe a word.

"You still don't understand people's minds when they get old." Qiao Xuanzheng said. "When I said this to Meng De that day, he also laughed and laughed......"

Hearing this, he was about to walk to the door of Nangong, but Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped.

Qiao Xuan's heart moved, but he didn't stop: "You can go back to the city twice yesterday, it really makes me look up, this time you are indeed better than Meng De!" ”

Gongsun Xun's face remained unchanged, and he didn't speak, but just chased after him again with the paperwork.

And when the two of them got out of the South Palace and came to Tongluo Street, Gongsun Xun saluted Qiao Xuanzheng and parted ways.

"Lang Zhong!" As soon as Qiao Xuan left, the trial who was waiting outside the palace was full of hope and went straight forward. "Is there a saying?"

"It has been said that the Cao Festival will be moved, and the four princes' relatives will be pardoned for their innocence, and they will be reinstated." Gongsun Xun replied calmly. "But the fourth prince itself is not something we can put a beak into!"

"I understand, I understand." The trial was first excited, and then couldn't help but be gloomy, and finally officially bowed down on this copper camel street. "This time, Menggong Sun Lang is noble!"

Gongsun Xun held the document in his hand, calmly accepted the other party's salute, and waited until the other party got up before asking, "What will happen to Brother Zhengnan?" ”

"Although I can't bear to speak, I know that my lord is really bad luck this time, and as a courtier, I should first stay in Luozhong, deal with the head and tail for him, and in case of disharmony, I should also help him return to his hometown......"

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly...... Yesterday he personally asked Liu Kuan and Qiao Xuan, both of whom said that the Son of Heaven had decided to kill, and he was afraid that he would be killed in prison as quickly as Duan Xi did, so as not to cause unnecessary waves.

After all, if a cool official, a famous minister of the clan, an infantry captain, and an important minister of the clan collude together, it is not really a rebellion, but there is also a fact of rebellion...... As the Son of Heaven, how can he tolerate these people? This truth is also understood by the trial and matching.

After thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Xun asked frankly: "I know that it is a bit unsympathetic to talk about this matter at this time, but I am leaving Beijing today, so I have to ask...... Brother Zhengnan, if there is really disharmony, after you help Chen Gong's coffin go to Xuzhou, will there be a place to go? ”

"Naturally, I went back to my hometown to study." The trial was unimpressed. "How, is there a place for Lang Zhong to get me?"

"I am going to issue a Xiangping order, and I am not good at governing the government, if I can have the help of Zhengnan, I am very grateful." Gongsun Xun held the document with his hand, and he was also directly invited on Tongtuo Street...... In such a situation, there is no need to be polite, come and come, and if you don't come, you won't come.

"With one and one to say," the judge also said simply. "I was famous in Hebei when I was a teenager, and I followed my family Chen Gong from the county official to the county official, and then to the three male rafters, and my vision was also very high. Moreover, our Shen clan is a big family in Jizhou, and his background is no worse than that of Gongsun Langzhong. So it stands to reason that I wouldn't accept an invitation from a county order...... However, the ancients had to pay back because their daughter was not buried, and how could they dare not repay it with all their strength because they were worthy of such a great favor from Langzhong? Please go to Lang Zhong to take up his post, and when the matter in Luozhong is over, I will naturally go to Xiangping to help Lang Zhong with a sword! ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he remembered something again, and then his expression moved slightly: "Brother Zhengnan will go with me to the bus office to exchange documents, and then follow me to meet someone, this person may be able to help you as much as possible in Luozhong." ”

Naturally, the trial is not indispensable.

"Cao Gong, go slowly!"

Just after Cao Jie handed over Lu Zhi's performance, but saw that the Son of Heaven did not mean to be angry, he resigned directly, so as not to be hated by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. However, he never expected that these two would take the initiative to chase them out.

"What's the matter with the two attendants?" Cao Jie now has no desires and no losses in his heart, so he is naturally full of confidence.

"That's right." Zhang Rang was the first to speak. "A few days ago, the Son of Heaven agreed with us that the official money of the Dragon Garden (West Garden) would be officially opened yesterday, and all the officials appointed by the officials had to pay some money by official rank to build the Dragon Garden for His Majesty...... As a result, yesterday Cao Gong suddenly brought such a big case, and then argued for most of the day, and the Son of Heaven forgot it for a while, but today it can't be exempted! ”

"Oh!" Cao Jie suddenly realized. "That's good, from tomorrow onwards, I will send most of the documents issued by the Shangshutai Officials Cao to the Maolong Garden...... Then you ask yourself for money. ”

"Cao Gong...... Ignore the matter of the Dragon Garden? Zhao Zhong looked at the other party vigilantly.

"Ignore it." Cao Jie replied calmly, and then slowly left under the surprised gazes of the two.

However, after just a few steps, he turned back again: "However, if it is from today on, there is a person who is afraid that he will not have time to pay the money in Maolong Garden and leave in a hurry...... What do the two attendants think? ”

"How big an official position?" Zhang Rang asked solemnly.

"Qianshi County Order, a first-class county." Cao Jie has one thing to say.

"How can this work?" Zhao Zhong was full of color. "That's a real 10 million dollars! And it's the money of the Son of Heaven, and he dares to be black with the money of the Son of Heaven?! Which county, which person? Cao Gong said to listen to us, and we will naturally send a little yellow door to chase after us and ask for it! ”

"Liaodong Xiangping, the original Shangshulang Gongsun Xun!" Cao Jie still has one thing to say. "The two of you are always busy, and I still have things at home."

After that, Cao Jie left directly, leaving only the two of them in a daze outside the hall.

"Now that you're gone, forget it." Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said with a straight face.

"Hey, the Son of Heaven is waiting to see the money!" Zhang Rang also suddenly came back to his senses and said disapprerovingly. "However, Gongsun Xun is known for his name, and he has made great contributions repeatedly, I think a direct discount of three million can be ......"

"You're going to dig it?" Zhao Zhong immediately pulled down his face, but he threw his hand directly inside.

"Miser!" Zhang Changshou couldn't help but be indignant.

Gongsun Xun didn't know everything that happened in the palace, and even if he knew, he would be afraid that he would directly repay the debt.

In this way, he was busy in Luozhong for half a day, and when he waited until the evening of the same day, everything was over, Gongsun Xun finally settled his heart, and left Luoyang City with a clear conscience with the documents jointly signed by the Public Transport Department and Shang Shutai, and then joined Zhao Yun, Han Dang, Gongsun Fan and others who had been waiting here outside the field, ready to catch up with Lou Gui and Lu Fan, who were one step ahead, and hurriedly went to work.

Before leaving, under the sunset, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look back at the capital of this huge empire again, and then remained silent for a long time.

"When I returned from Luozhong that day, I remember that Shaojun once said that he was the only one from Luozhong, that is, he knew that the scriptures could not save the Han, could it be that there is a word today?" The one who asked the question was Han Dang, who stepped forward alone.

"It's nature." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh softly. "And this time there is not just one, but many 'gains'......"

"Oh......"

"That is the Son of Heaven is not enough, the public family is not enough, and the cool officials are not enough...... Eunuchs are not to be feared! ”

"So what's there to worry about?"

"Only you can be trusted!" As he spoke, Gongsun Xun smiled and turned the horse's head. "It's time to go...... Time to go! ”

"Whoa!"

Han Dang agreed, and then immediately followed, and the two returned to the convoy and went straight to the east to get out of the tiger prison overnight.
