Chapter 3 The Inner Hall

"Brother Xian doesn't know." In the inner hall of Luozhong Courtyard, after a few bowls of wine, He Jin had already become nonsense. "My family is in a special situation, and my biological mother died early......"

"Condolences."

"Hey, it's too early, I can't remember what the other party looks like. Then, my current mother took my brother He Miao to marry together, saying that she was married, but in fact, the world is not good, and it can be regarded as two families living together...... When the two families got together, my father was also quite good at business, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing for a while, and then he added two younger sisters in a row, one of which is now in the palace. But who would have thought that when I was not yet crowned, suddenly one day, my father passed away......"

"Then Brother Sui is also hard."

"Who's to say it isn't?" He Jin became more and more helpless, and a little tear actually flashed on his fair face. "Don't I know? Those people all say that I was born as a butcher, and they also say that my sister is from a butcher's family, but which person who says these things is not a big family and has no worries about food and clothing? On that day, if I hadn't wrapped up my headscarf and crowned in advance to run the slaughterhouse, who would have fed my family of five?! If I wasn't desperate, would I want to be a butcher? Isn't it good to keep filial piety and make a name for yourself, and then go to study in private school? ”

Gongsun Xun became more and more awe-inspiring, and the lover He Jin is not only a Song Yu who kills pigs, but also a model of inspirational love for his family! After all, this makes sense, my father died suddenly, and then there was a stepmother, a brother who was not related by blood and two half-sisters, what would a family of five eat if they didn't kill pigs?

"It's a lot of talk." He Jin knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly wiped away a handful of tears, and then stood up and said goodbye. "But today is also a sight to be with Wen Qi, you and I will be in Luozhong in the future, you might as well have more contacts......"

After that, this He Jin arched his hand slightly, and then looked at Gongsun Xun with a sincere face, as if he was afraid that the other party would refuse.

"Look at what Brother Gao said." Gongsun Xun hurriedly supported this person...... What are you kidding, and no matter what the person is, but no matter what, everyone has come to the front, and there is no need to be separated from the other party? "Not to mention anything else, if Brother Gao comes to drink in my small courtyard in the future, can I still chase you out?"

"I'm going to have to bother a lot in the future." He Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

To tell the truth, He Jin is actually in an extremely awkward position now.

He is a relative, but his sister is just a nobleman, not the kind of queen who can make him ascend to the sky in one step, and if it is not a relative of the queen and the queen mother's family, it doesn't seem to be of much use, right? However, it doesn't seem very accurate to say that he is a waste relative, because his sister gave birth to the only prince who has not yet died, and the mother is the most common thing in the harem, which shows that he and his family are actually very promising.

But at the same time, the risk of his family is also very large, because the first one, Queen Song herself, who was in front of He Guiren, seems to have an excellent reputation in Luozhong, and basically can't find fault with it; The second one is also a characteristic of the old Liu family in the Later Han Dynasty, the family is not in good health, not to mention the difficulties of the heirs, and the things of untimely death and early death are endless...... In other words, maybe one day the eldest son of the emperor who was only one or two years old will die directly, so what is He Jin and He Jia's family at that time?

In addition, of course, it is inevitable that this origin is discriminated against.

Think about it, after Cao Jie went to charge the government as a eunuch in these years, he must also say to people, my ancestor made 2,000 stones, you are not allowed to discriminate against me! Then go up to the Son of Heaven and down to the scholars, and really admit it!

And a butcher ...... Didn't you hear what Xu Yong, the left eunuch of the Yulin Forest, shouted at the door today?

"Born in the market, what if you get an official body, do you really think you can be listed with me and other scholars?"

This kind of thing is considered class discrimination in the mouth of Gongsun Auntie, but in the ears of today's world, it is taken for granted.

And not to mention others, according to Gongsun Xun's observation, it's just that He Jin is afraid that he vaguely agrees with this statement in his heart...... After all, he was born in Wancheng, Nanyang, the so-called Wanluo is one, this place is full of wealthy families, he grew up in this place since he was a child, his ears are dizzy, and he is also consciously inferior!

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that he finally met a Gongsun Xun who was kind to him, and he was reluctant to let go.

It was getting late, He Jin was drunk and left, Gongsun Xun personally sent the other party out, and sent two guards to take care of the other party, and then turned around directly and went to Liu Kuan's house next to him...... Of course, this is now the Guard's Mansion.

But no matter what, whether it's the Guangluxun Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion, or the Weiwei Mansion, it's always that loose and crumbling here. When Gongsun Xun entered the door, the old servant who guarded the door was eating, and he was drinking there happily with a pot of wine, and he didn't know how to say hello when he saw people coming, and he didn't know who he learned from!

"Why did Wen Qi come here at this time, didn't she want to rub my family's food?" Liu Kuan watched his son Liu Song lead Gongsun Xun into his inner hall, but he stood up from the big chair in front of the high-legged dining table with a smile.

That's right, the furniture in Liu Kuan's house is actually all in the style of the Yi She! Of course, considering that Granny Liu only wants to be comfortable and does not pay attention to etiquette, it is not unacceptable.

"What the teacher said is true." Gongsun Xun first bowed down at the entrance hall, and then bowed formally to Mrs. Liu, who was sitting there, and then walked over seriously. "I just arrived in Luozhong today, my wife, attachΓ©s, guests, and righteous servants all went to settle down at the Shi family, and I just drank a meal of empty stomach wine with someone in my courtyard, which was really tasteless. I didn't think about it, and on the way back, I saw the old servant in front of the teacher's door drinking bean porridge there, and I couldn't bear it, so I came in to find some to drink......"

Liu Kuan laughed, and then hurriedly ordered the maid next to him to add rice and bowls. And taking advantage of this moment, the guard lieutenant who had just come down from the third public office went directly to meet him, and stretched out his black hands to hold his student's arm.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Gongsun Xun was immediately puzzled. "You added dishes and chopsticks but you won't let me sit down?"

Liu Kuan shook his head slightly and sighed: "Wen Qi, of course, I know that you are a capable character, but I really didn't expect you to be so capable!" Seeking life to the death, not to mention the defeat of the enemy's royal court, but also allowing the rear army to get out...... Jingzhong discussed, your battle is really the posture of an ancient famous general! ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing: "I don't brag about myself in front of the teacher, the things of the day are just doing my best and obeying the destiny of heaven...... It's just a fluke to survive! ”

Liu Kuan sighed more and more: "It is the destiny of heaven to survive in that situation, it seems that the safety of the Han family in the future will depend on a young man like you!" ”

Gongsun Xun didn't care at all.

Isn't this nonsense, if the future does not depend on the young, can it still rely on the elderly? As for the safety of the Han family, to be honest, it doesn't seem to be something that can be stopped by manpower.

In this way, the two teachers and students gossiped and went directly to the table, and then ...... Uh, and then continue the gossip. After all, the information I got from Liu Kuan was much more high-end than what I inquired about on the street, otherwise why would I come here to drink bean porridge.

All in all, the teacher and student talked about various things while drinking porridge, from the solar eclipse to the personnel of the DPRK and China, from the situation in the northern Xinjiang to the rebellion in the south, and finally returned to the hot spot of the DPRK and China that Gongsun Xun was most concerned about.

"It has been agreed that at the court meeting the day before yesterday, all the three generals were demoted to commoners." After seeing his wife leave the inner hall with most of his family's maidservants, Liu Kuan replied unhurriedly. "Actually, it's something I've guessed a long time ago, but suddenly the solar eclipse and I'm going to work as a lieutenant, so it's not good to talk about this matter anymore."

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but hold the half-empty porridge jar and smiled: "I really should have guessed that the scholars wanted to save Zang Gong and kill the other two generals; And the eunuchs not only want to severely punish the crime to shirk responsibility, but also want to try to save the life of the second general as a minion, but the three people have similar responsibilities and can only be given the same treatment...... Coming and going, in the end it can only be this result. ”

Liu Kuan immediately shook his head with a smile: "You young people just like to hit the nail on the head and don't save face for others." ”

"There is one more thing," Gongsun Xun didn't want to say more about this matter, so he lowered his head and took a sip of bean porridge, and asked again. "Please tell the teacher clearly, what is the situation of the queen today?"

Liu Kuan was rarely stunned, but after all, he returned to his usual smiling attitude: "Wen Qi is well-informed, and this is the first day of returning to Luozhong......"

"When I went to the Lang Office today, I happened to meet He Guiren's brother He Jin, who is a handsome person."

"I see." Liu Kuan's face was stunned, and then he slowly explained the situation of Queen Song to himself, the most valued and admired student.

Sure enough, as Gongsun Xun expected, Empress Song did not have a good relationship with today's son, and when He Gui gave birth to a prince and survived until now, she naturally had the most direct and powerful challenger.

"But," Gongsun Xun asked. The student vaguely remembered that the Song family had a great business and was a first-class family in Luozhong...... I think Queen Song also has something to rely on, right? ”

"That's just as well." Liu Kuan smiled slightly. "The Song family is a famous family for hundreds of years, which can be traced back to Song Chang, a famous minister of the former Han Dynasty. Moreover, there was a queen as early as a hundred years ago...... At that time, although this Jingyin Empress was jealous of Queen Dou as a nobleman, blamed the witch, and was poisoned to death, and then her parents and daughters were also abolished as the crown prince, but her grandson was the first Xiao'an Emperor who reigned for nearly 20 years in this dynasty. ”

Gongsun Xun immediately showed a sudden expression.

In other words, Emperor Xiao'an was only fifty years away from this time, and Emperor Shun and Emperor Huan were also direct descendants of Emperor An, in other words, the Song family had lived in the temple as a top noble, and then enjoyed the scenery of relatives in Luoyang for nearly fifty years.

But then again, the incense is the previous three emperors, and the current Son of Heaven is not Emperor Huan's own son, and this marriage that day is probably a transaction between the old relatives of the previous dynasty in Luozhong and the new Son of Heaven...... There is a sense of mutual assurance.

And when you think about it, things seem complicated.

"The aunt of the current Empress of Song, married to the former King of Bohai......"

Gongsun Xun really wanted to laugh more and more when he heard this, Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, was the first emperor, that is, the younger brother of Emperor Huan who was buried in Xuanling, and he was also the most direct contender for the throne of today's son...... Moreover, for five years, because he refused to pay the final bribe of 50 million yuan to the ruling eunuch Wang Fu, he was directly sued by the latter for rebellion.

In the end, the King of Bohai and his wife, the aunt of the Empress of Song, were tortured in prison and forced to commit suicide, and none of the more than 100 members of the family survived.

"And Empress Song's elder brother Song Qi also married the niece and granddaughter of the former eldest Changqiu Cao Teng......"

"That is, Cao Mengde's sister?" Gongsun Xun was shocked.

"Yes, yes." Liu Kuan replied calmly. All in all, this Song family is intertwined, and it is indeed a first-class family in Luozhong, and its marriage and world friends are almost all over Luoyang. In addition, although Empress Song herself is young, she acts cautiously and never oversteps her rules, so she has always been expected by the famous families in Luozhong......"

"Then what do you have to rely on?" Gongsun Xun finished drinking a jar of porridge and wiped his mouth, but suddenly asked. "Is there only one son?"

Liu Kuan stroked his beard slightly, and his face still did not change: "I heard that Zhang Rang Zhang Changshi, who is quite capable in the forbidden middle school of the North Palace, has already let his adopted son Zhang Feng, who has just become an adult, marry He Guiren's sister. And I also heard that it was another quite capable Zhao Zhong and Zhao Changshi, who also got along with He Guiren...... By the way, didn't Cao Mengde, who was related to the Song family, kill Jian Shuo's uncle that day? Now Jian Shuo is also quite trusted by the Son of Heaven. And don't forget, Wang Fu, who is now in charge of the government, also said that Queen Song's uncle rebelled, and for this reason, the queen's aunt died directly in prison. ”

Gongsun Xun completely understood...... The dispute between Queen Song and He Guiren seems to be more than just the so-called harem competition:

In the forbidden, this is the infighting between the old and new batches of eunuchs!

Yu Chaotang, this is a good time for the adult Son of Heaven to sweep away the old magnates!

And adding two things together will inevitably involve the old problem, that is, the confrontation between eunuchs and scholars!

And considering the character he showed when he faced the problem of party discipline before today, I am afraid that Luozhong is indeed going to set off a series of storms.

But......

"This Wang Fu," Gongsun Xun suddenly showed a different color. "It stands to reason that he should be an old man in the palace who has been in power for a long time, right? Do you want to help the newcomer deal with Queen Song this time? ”

"Who made him greedy for the 50 million money back then?" Liu Kuan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the student sitting opposite him, under the candlelight, there were only two teachers and students left in the inner hall of Liu's mansion at this time. "He has been in power for too long, and he thinks he can do whatever he wants, but he doesn't know that even if he is in power, he must pay attention to an ethical person. As for the ethics of eunuchs, the people I have seen in my life are the most outstanding in the great Changqiu Cao Teng of that day, so he was able to make the family continue here, and gradually accepted by the scholars; And today's Great Changqiu Cao Festival, although only Cao Teng's five points of skill, but he can also die well if he wants to; Only this Wang Fu ......"

"Thank you for the reminder, the student understands!" Gongsun Xun suddenly got up.

"What do you understand?" Liu Kuan was puzzled.

"I do get it." Gongsun Xun stood up and said awe-inspiringly. "Wang Fu's minions lie in Duan Xi, and Duan Xi is in the court, relying on only Tian Yan and Xia Yu, the two old departments, and now the two will be demoted to concubines, so he naturally loses his minions; Then when this guy was greedy for money and power, and when he provoked the anger of the world, he was also capricious in the palace ban, so that he also lost his position among the eunuchs, as if his foundation was unstable for a long time...... In other words, if you can concentrate on it at this time, you may be able to get rid of this wingman and face the wind! ”

Liu Kuan was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he speak: "I'm just afraid that you will lose your mind in Shangshutai, so I will share the situation in Luozhong with you, how can I teach you to punish the eunuch?" Or is it Wang Fu, the second eunuch of the dynasty? ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but salute: "Teacher, don't worry about it, you don't need to do anything about this matter, you just need to sit in the house and watch the children act!" ”

Liu Kuan became more and more speechless, and seeing that Gongsun Xun over there actually got up directly and was about to leave after making a salute, at this moment, the captain of the court guard was naturally even more frightened, so he quickly got up and stopped the other party.

"Wen Qi." Liu Kuan tugged at his student's sleeve and said sincerely. "What are you going to do, I can't stop it and won't stop it, but you have to tell me bluntly, why is it so intense when you go back to Los Angeles this time? To do such a thing in a few words? ”

"Teacher, since you asked me so, I'll be blunt." Gongsun Xun glanced at his sleeve that was pulled by the other party, and couldn't help laughing. "That Wang Fu has been arbitrarily dictating himself for several years, and the sea is turbulent, and there are countless people who want to kill him. However, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't bother to care about ......."

"Then why do you ......?"

"It's just that the last time the army was defeated," Gongsun Xun suddenly changed color, laughing with anger, as if he was emotionally surging and couldn't be suppressed anymore. "Tens of thousands of border sons died in an unknown way, and countless heroes from the north died like a wild dog in the weeds and no one collected their bodies, it was my grandson Xun...... Didn't the teacher himself say 'survive in death' before? The eldest husband was born in the world, shouldn't he be repaid for such a 'favor'?! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Teacher, there are only two people in the class...... To be fair, if you talk about the beginning and end of this battle, who should be held responsible? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Tanshi Huai, I asked myself if I had stabbed him with all my might; Here, the Son of Heaven wants him to admit his mistakes like Emperor Wu, like a dream; As for Zang Min, to be fair, it can barely be called a crime of non-war...... However, from the Son of Heaven down, Zang Min above, such as Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Duan Xi, Xia Yu, Tian Yan five, if there is no chance, it is fine, if there is a chance, teacher, you say, since my Gongsun Xun escaped and came to Luoyang, how can he be indifferent? ”

Liu Kuan looked at the other party for a long time, but he was suddenly relieved, and let go of the other party's sleeve: "Wen Qi, the Son of Heaven is also my student, I know in my heart that he still pays attention to an old relationship after all...... And Wenqi, if there is any disharmony, you might as well come to my house, I can always keep you safe. ”

Gongsun Xun bowed and bowed, and then turned around and left without looking back. And back in the small courtyard next to Liu Kuan's mansion, he was still a little angry......

In other words, since returning to Northern Xinjiang, these days, Gongsun Xun seems to be casual and seemingly indifferent, but he has not forgotten the appearance of Gao Heng dying on the side of the road for a single day, nor has he forgotten the revenge he said with his two henchmen. It's just that at the beginning, because the matter was too conspicuous, I had to let it go temporarily, and then I was thousands of miles away, forcibly hiding this matter in my heart, and I didn't even talk about it when I was facing my mother.

But now, since he has come to Luozhong and coincided with the political tide, he can do a lot, so he can't help but lose his temper in front of Liu Kuan, who is harmless to humans and animals...... Fortunately, most of the elders in the sea are understanding people in their hearts, and they have such a close love for incense, so they didn't poke out the basket.

And when Gongsun Xun was sitting in the inner hall of the black hole, calming down his mood through the cool night, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the courtyard, and someone actually touched the courtyard in the middle of the night. And no matter what Gongsun Xun said, he was also a white horse Zhonglang who was famous in the northern Xinjiang, so he naturally had no fear, so he directly pressed the knife and went out.

"Wenqi!" Someone shouted from far outside the hall.

"Big brother!" Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, and then relieved. "That's right, why did you come back at this time!"

"I came here secretly." Gongsun Chan didn't enter the house, and he didn't mean to call the servants and attendants to get up and light the lamp, but tried to keep his voice down and talk to his brother. "I have something to tell you!"

"Big brother said bluntly."

"Xia Yu's matter is over, I will leave him tomorrow and go back to Liaoxi......"

"Big brother Fang Xin." Gongsun Xun replied easily. "I already have a letter to my father-in-law, and it will definitely be beneficial to you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with this year's filial piety, and you will have to wait another year......"

"I know that, so I don't need to say more." Gongsun Chan lowered his voice. "I want to tell you, tomorrow I will go first, and then Xia Yu and Tian Yan seem to have the intention of leaving Luozhong and returning to their hometowns, at least three or five days, and at most half a month and ten months, they will go to their hometown in Liangzhou together...... I now live in Duan Xi's Guanglu Doctor's Mansion, and I have to go back quickly, they are suspicious in the province. ”

After saying that, Gongsun Zhan, who was dressed in black, turned around and opened the door from the inside, and retreated lightly.

From beginning to end, Gongsun Xun didn't answer a word, stood straight and silent, and after a long time, he let go of the knife in his hand, walked out calmly, reinserted the courtyard door, and then turned back to rest.
