In all fairness, Gongsun Xun was a young marquis, and after wearing the purple ribbon gold seal, he was obviously a little floating.

Handan City was in front, and he first sent Lu Fan to invite Tian Feng early; also asked the judge to go home directly to visit relatives, and by the way, he helped him invite a well-known professor in Hebei; In the end, Lou Gui and Han Dang, who were close to Yiwen and Wu, were also sent out, just to find out about the situation of Taiping Dao and Zhang Jiao.

And at this time, he was already alone, and he still didn't care about everything...... I heard that Zhao Ping, who served as Lang Zhongling, was in the south of the city, and he only sent a few new servants to take care of the other party, and then he went directly into the city by himself to face the entire Handan.

The purple ribbon and gold seal, embraced by white horses, and the exclusive residence of this city, is naturally smooth all the way.

However, after Gongsun Xun came directly to the official temple where the prime minister lived, he suddenly found that he really underestimated the world......

"Be careful!"

A group of attendants rushed up with all hands and feet, helped Gongsun Xun up, and by the way, the vine that tripped over his own monarch was broken into pieces.

"What then?" Gongsun Xun asked after getting up, almost pointing his trembling fingers on the ground. "What's going on, why is the temple overgrown with weeds and vines covering the road? I went from Liaodong to Luoyang, and I have never seen this kind of official temple in my life! ”

"Return...... Returning to the king. The two county officials standing in the grass on the side trembled, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty. In the spring and summer, everything flourished, and a few days ago it rained, and we were not surprised by the fact that the vegetation was luxuriant. ”

This is so reasonable, Gongsun Xun is speechless.

However, he immediately reacted: "Is this a matter of spring or summer?" I ask you, Xiang Xu...... Xiang Guoxiang doesn't actually work in the official temple on weekdays? Could it be that the king rewarded him with a side hall for official business? If so, why did you bring me here? ”

There is a reason for Gongsun Xun to ask this, because Handan is an ancient city, an ancient capital of six or seven hundred years, and it has been the residence of the princes and kings since the former Han Dynasty.

In a few decades, there will even be a local scribe who wrote the famous "Sandu Fu", specifically praising Handan, Yecheng and Luoyang. Among them, "Zhao Dufu" said:

The capital is ten thousand pheasants, a hundred miles of circumference, nine Qu staggered, three doors open next to each other, floors and pavilions, even the building stairs.

The majesty and magnificence of the Zhao Palace and Handan City can be seen.

That being the case, it is understandable that Xiang Xu disliked the dilapidated official temple and asked King Zhao for a side hall of the palace where no one lived in it. And in this case, it will naturally explain why the Prime Minister's Temple is full of weeds.

However, if Xiang Xu was not here, why did these two county officials lead themselves into such a desolate and ridiculous place? Did you get someone's advice to deliberately make yourself a joke?!

"Wait for you!" An older county official was probably experienced, and when he guessed what the other party was thinking, he immediately smiled bitterly on the ground. "How dare we tease you? It is really my family and country minister who have been in Handan for almost two years, and he has always been in this official temple. ”

Gongsun Xun looked around, dazed, he really didn't know how this minister lived in such a place.

"It's just that he has always only liked to lie high in the backyard of the official temple," the young county official on the side also quickly explained, "In addition to eating and going to the toilet, we haven't seen him get out of bed a few times in the past two years. ”

"Indeed," continued the elder magistrate. "In fact, if you enter from the backyard, there is a small road where you can deliver food, water, slurry and laundry, and also dig out manure and remove dirt and transport filth. But when you take office for the first time and come to visit the Prime Minister, how dare we let you go through the backyard door? ”

Gongsun Xun reacted in the end, so he broke free from the support of his attendants and walked a few steps forward, stood up straight in this gate, and looked at the official temple compound of Zhao Guoguo in front of him. However, no matter how you look at it, the yard is full of green weeds and vines, and there are a few wildflowers swaying in the wind...... It all made him feel ridiculous!

This is the core of the power of the Zhao State, and the most powerful minister in the country is in the official temple in front of him, but why does the grass grow and bloom? !

In fact, when he entered Bairen County, the northernmost part of Zhao State, because the local county magistrate Shen Yu Shen Zhongyan was Liu Kuan's student and one of Gongsun Xun's classmates, he stopped there to inquire about the situation between Zhao and Handan...... What are the local surnames, what are the heroes, and what is the public security? What is the impact of what Taiping Road has here? What's the big deal in Handan lately?

All the questions that should be asked and what should not be asked are all asked!

In this case, the most important one, who is the prime minister and what kind of person is it? Gongsun Xun naturally will not miss it. Because this is the only big man in Handan City who theoretically has more authority than him, and he is also his top boss.

And to tell the truth, when he heard his senior brother say that Zhao Guoguo was the 'old man' Xiang Xu on the side of the Yellow River, and heard that this person only knew 'high lying' all day long, Gongsun Xun was 10,000 relieved. After all, in his opinion, that kind of waste is born to let people like Gao Yan take power! As long as you first take that Lang Zhong to order Zhao Ping to set an example for killing chickens and monkeys, and then force and frighten this Xiang Xu, then I'm afraid it will be easy to control this Hanoi celebrity who can only recite the scriptures of filial piety, and then take this guy to the air, and then calmly encroach on the power of the county government, right?!

When the time comes, won't you be as comfortable as Liaodong?

But saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, Gongsun Xun didn't expect that this Xiang Xu's 'high sleeping' was so outrageous! Is it okay for the grass to grow and bloom in the official temple?

The grass is blooming!

"Two of you, please," After being shocked by the barren grass all over the yard, Gongsun Xun restrained a lot, and actually arched his hand slightly towards the two county officials. "Dare to ask the two of you, how do the prime ministers work on weekdays?"

"Returning to the king," after getting up, the younger county official saw that the other party's attitude had eased, and he was immediately relieved, and he spoke bluntly. "Our minister doesn't work."

"The ...... of things in the county"

"The things in the county, if they are lawsuits, taxes, and public security, are naturally the county and the chief officials of Cao."

"Where are the county officials and the chief officials of Cao?"

"They work from home every day," the older county clerk interjected sharply. "Today's monarch is coming too quickly, and he is here directly, they are afraid that they will not be able to catch up, otherwise they will definitely meet here...... However, when tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, after the king and the big families of this county have met the king, they must pay a visit when they want to come. ”

"Don't talk about this, don't you care about such things as personnel appointments and dismissals, rewards and punishments?" Gongsun Xun's heart became more and more uneasy.

"Naturally, it doesn't matter."

"Then there will be no one in this country who is old or sick and has left his job, so that there is a shortage of personnel?" Gongsun Xun is really incomprehensible.

"Jun Hou laughed," the elder county official couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "It's been less than two years since our prime minister came here, and he doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't reward or punish, so how many people will be vacated there?"

"It's true that I don't hide it from the king, even the two of us in this country, and they are still appointed before he arrives......" The young county official also interjected. It's that Cao Peng, who is a member of the country, is getting older, isn't he also working from home? Naturally, his nephews helped with official business. ”

Gongsun Xun nodded again and again, probably indicating that he was really knowledgeable.

However, since the two county officials were quite well-behaved and cooperative, he simply continued to ask: "What about last year's filial piety ......?"

"Filial piety is discussed by all the surnames in the country, and the Qilin'er of the Wei family was introduced, and then the minister of state called him and asked him to recite the "Book of Filial Piety" in front of the bed, and then took the "Shangshu", and after thinking it was good, he also used it directly."

"Discussion?" Gongsun Xun was stunned when he heard this, as if he was a little vigilant. "What if there are official documents from other counties, and there are also documents from the state?"

"It didn't take a delay." The elder magistrate also answered frankly at this time. "This kind of thing can be dealt with calmly, and he writes documents directly in bed to reply to the past. As for saying that someone in the state came to check, someone did come to question at first, and even the prince of Assassin Shi came over in person, intending to urge the prime minister, but was scolded by the prime minister! Later, the assassin didn't dare to send someone over......"

Gongsun Xun wanted to speak and stopped...... He also reacted suddenly, Xiang Xu is a famous person in Hanoi, and he is a big celebrity, or Yuan Kui personally recommended it, as soon as he came out, it was 2,000 stones, who would dare to provoke him? Besides, people are just lazy politics, lazy politics is destined not to make any big mistakes, and if you don't make mistakes, you can't do anything about assassinating history, right?

So what can you do if you come to urge him and people scold him back? Don't you allow people's minds to be on the universe and the stars?!

It's just that...... It's just that from Gongsun Xun's point of view, he is preparing to seize power. But Xiang Xu is holding his official seal, lying in bed all day long, if you go to provoke him, he only scolds back, how can he seize power?

Moreover, where is the authority of this Minister of Zhao Guo?! If this power does not exist, how can Gongsun Xun take it?

Yes, there is an official seal in the ...... But how can the official seal be taken? Do you want to be like the one on the edge of the Yellow River, knock out in public, and then snatch away his official seal? But if you really do this, believe it or not, the Jizhou Assassin Wang Kao, who was scolded back by Xiang Xu before, will immediately be able to rush over from Yecheng, dozens of miles away, and treat you, the Handan order that was bullied below?

In short, as soon as he entered the door, he simply planted a fall, and Gongsun Xun, who was full of confidence a quarter of an hour ago, was quite at a loss at this time.

Of course, no matter what, people still have to see it, and this is his direct superior.

In the backyard of the official temple, Gongsun Xun, who had retired from his attendants, went to the bedroom under the leadership of the two county officials. In fact, as these county officials said, this place is quite clean, and there are even a few young and beautiful officials and maids waiting around, and when they saw Gongsun Xun coming, they hurriedly panicked and avoided it...... Zhao Guo has a beautiful woman, and no matter what, no one dares to really snub this ruler of a country.

Who is starving?

"Xiang Gong? Minister of State? In front of the open bedroom, Gongsun Xun finally mustered up the courage to step inside after taking a long breath. Is the Minister of State here? The new Handan Linggong Sun Xun came to visit. ”

"I remember you!" As soon as he entered, on the innermost bed in the bedroom, there was a tall and thin man with deep eye sockets and a purple scarf that suddenly turned over and made a sound, which startled Gongsun Xun. "You are the one who beat me by the Yellow River that day!"

Gongsun Xun was startled at first, but he was not in a hurry and was happy...... Because in his opinion, what he is most afraid of is that this guy just lies down and doesn't do anything, and as long as this Hanoi celebrity finds something to do, even if it is looking for his Gongsun Xun's stubble, then he has 10,000 ways to let the other party fall into the pit, and then take advantage of the situation.

"What the Minister of State said is right!" As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun immediately stepped forward and proudly admitted the events of the day. "That day in Mengjin, it was I who hit you!"

"I've been looking for you." Seeing the other party's admission, Xiang Xu, whose eye sockets were deeply sunken, actually stood up from the bed suddenly. "When I woke up in Mengjin that day, I asked the officials at the entrance who had beaten me before, but they said they didn't know me; When I arrived in Luoyang and told others about it, they all said they didn't know; I finally found out that it was you, but I was going to come to Zhao to take up my post...... Saint, today I actually let Xiang Xu see you with my own eyes again?! ”

Gongsun Xun secretly glanced at the humanoid marks on the bed board behind the other party, and also sighed slightly, and then arched his hand according to etiquette: "It's exactly what I did below, I don't know what the minister of state has to say?" ”

The two officials who followed behind looked at each other, almost trying to escape...... God is pitiful, why do these two big men have personal enmity, how can these two officials deal with themselves? In terms of real power and current management, of course, the country is more important, but this person is a waste; And the newcomer in front of him is clearly a rare and wonderful person, Qianshi County Order, a standard subordinate of the Prime Minister, but he is wearing a purple ribbon and gold seal, is this easy to offend?

If the two of them quarrel here, won't the two of them be pitted to death? You say, why did you follow such a prime minister, but as long as this Xiang Xu is a little bit normal, it won't make the two of you so embarrassed, right?

Just when the two officials were panicking, Xiang Xu over there had already dragged the clogs, stared at them, and came to Gongsun Xun in a few steps:

"I'm about to reason with you!"

Fortunately, it wasn't a fight.

"Please speak up, Prime Minister." Gongsun Xun also straightened his chest more and more. "My Gongsun Xun is not afraid to reason with you."

"You say," Xiang Xu said angrily, shaking his fingers. "When the eclipse faded and the ferry was in order, wasn't it because I recited the Book of Filial Piety? Why are you greedy for heaven and ignore moral articles, but you tell others that there is no chaos in the ferry under the solar eclipse, but it is your credit for killing Ma Liwei?! The disaster of blood and light, how can it cure the solar eclipse? How can moral classics be ignored again? ”

Gongsun Xun was dumbfounded.

"I hate those foolish people and foolish women, and I hate those ignorant silverfish in the court, who know that I am chanting the "Book of Filial Piety" by the river, but you are still deceived by you, only saying how you are in danger, but not saying my merits? Not to mention my merits, why ignore the "Book of Filial Piety"? The country can survive forever, the reason why scholars are scholars, and the people can be stable, isn't it the credit of these classics? At this point, Xiang Xu actually hid his face and cried. Pity me for being a scholar and yet coming to this filthy place, where there are few people who read the Bible, and now I have to be a colleague with people like you, and even live in the same city...... Alas! ”

Gongsun Xun came back to his senses, looked at the minister who returned to the bed and cried in front of him, and his heart was three points of grievance, three points of helplessness, three points of irritability, and finally one point of pity!

He would rather let Dong Zhuo be his boss than deal with this person!

As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun didn't look at this person, but turned around directly and walked away!

The two county officials, who were also frightened by their own prime minister just now, were also relieved at this time, and then quietly retreated with Gongsun Xun.

"I just thought that your county officials don't work in the official temple, but they want to do things in private houses without control." Gongsun Xun walked out of the backyard and returned to the front yard where the grasshopper flew, and shook his head with emotion. "But now I can understand them, how can anyone in the world get along with this country and still insist on working?"

The two county officials couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

"The two of you have worked hard to stay here, not to mention that it is fate to meet each other, and you can be regarded as fulfilling your duties, what are your names?" Gongsun Xun took the righteous congregation who was waiting here and walked away, but when he walked to the gate of the official temple, he suddenly turned back.

"Wang Ran, the word Qiming, is now the Minister of State." The older officials hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"This position is also hard for you." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Sacha, that is, the royal car, is the same meaning, in fact, it is to manage the bus in the county, and then be responsible for the Taishou or the minister of the country, travel, recruitment, transmission, and escort and other duties, on weekdays should be regarded as a first-class beauty, and the power and responsibility are also very large. However, with such a state minister lying in bed all day, this position can only look at the door.

"Deputy history of Sache." The young clerk on the side also replied embarrassedly. "Li Ming, the word is easy."

"It's hard work for both of you!" Gongsun Xun looked at the two officials sympathetically, and also waved his hand directly, but went directly to the county temple two streets away.

And in the afternoon, a large number of people came from outside the city.

However, Gongsun Xun, who had just settled down in the county temple, asked a few words in the hall, and an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.

"The king of my family respectfully invites the Marquis of Wuxian Pavilion to the banquet!"

glanced back at Lang Zhongling Zhao Ping, who was standing stiffly on the side, and saw Gongsun Xun sitting in the hall with a dark face and not saying a word, and the messenger who came to deliver the letter was also trembling, walking on thin ice. "The king and the king are waiting!"

"Wait until I'm done with this case first." Gongsun Xun said casually, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Ping again. "Lang Zhongling Zhao Ping, you just said that you didn't rob the people's daughter?"

"It's true!" Hearing this, Zhao Ping hurriedly swore again, and continued the topic before the envoy arrived. "All the people in the south of the city have seen it with their own eyes, and I have already made people turn around before your messenger arrives...... The gentleman is good, and he is polite and polite, and the Qin girl is unwilling, so I naturally have to turn around and leave! ”

"Qin's daughter." Gongsun Xun was almost a little angry. Is what he said true? You don't have to be afraid, just speak out, you must know that I am the Handan Order, specializing in all government affairs in this county, as long as you dare to commit such evil things in my jurisdiction, even Lang Zhongling can be killed! ”

Qin Luofu, the mulberry picking girl who suddenly came back to her senses, also replied suddenly: "Don't dare to deceive the monarch, it's really that this Lang Zhongling did suddenly take the initiative to retreat, and Luo Fu and Luo Fu don't know what's going on......"

Qin Luofu's voice became smaller and smaller, and Zhao Ping was overjoyed: "Jun Hou, not only the daughter of the Qin family, but also the several concubines I had in Zhao Guona before, they are all like-minded ......"

They have all become your concubines, and then they are married, what else can they do? Gongsun Xun's heart was so tired that he could only interrupt the other party with a black face:

"No matter what, it's always true to trample on the seedlings, right?!"

"The subordinates are willing to be punished!" When Zhao Ping heard this, he even felt a little ecstatic. "Cutting and fines, I will let people take money to compensate the head of the household, and pay the fine, and I am willing to go to the prime minister to recognize the cut!"

Gongsun Xun thought about it when he heard this, but he was helpless, and finally he could only get up suddenly, call the messenger, and call a few attendants, and then went straight to the majestic and magnificent Zhao Palace with a stomach of helplessness.
