Gongsun Xun came out of the Wangri Tower, and was sneezed by the cold outside the building...... He really doesn't know how to explain to Han Dang now?

But if you don't explain, it's like ...... Can't tell, right?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xun squirmed on the edge of Wangri Tower, and finally let him see a kind-faced county guard entourage, and asked the other party to call his brother Gongsun Yue over.

"Captain Stopper?!" Han Dang was shocked and angry. "That's what Fu Jun really said?"

"That's true." Gongsun Yue also frowned, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with that Hou Taishou or Han Dang's attitude. "My brother asked for the post of chief for you, and he was very ashamed, saying that he didn't dare to come to see you, so let me convey the matter on my behalf."

Han Dang was silent.

Cheng Pu on the side is old after all, and he has been working in the county government for many years, so he has some insight into these things, but he shook his head slightly, and persuaded Han Dang in turn: "In this world, if the Han family wants to get ahead, it is difficult after all, don't think too much about it, let alone make mistakes!" ”

Han Dang was still speechless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"That's right." Gongsun Yue turned his head again and said to Cheng Pu. "Brother Demou, you don't have to worry too much, my brother asked me to tell you, he has already gone to find my clan uncle now, there are many easier to talk to over there than here, and he will definitely give you a beautiful job!"

Cheng Pu hurriedly thanked him.

In other words, as everyone imagined, this Gongsun Zhao is a big soft egg, and this guy has just made a great contribution now lying down, where will he be entangled with the nephew who fought bloodily that day for the promotion of a small official?

Therefore, Gongsun Xun came over with anger, and almost slapped the table directly: "Cheng Demou must at least be a county Cao with a rank of 200 stones!" ”

That Gongsun Zhao immediately nodded, saying that this right Beiping County Zhongfa Cao just lacked a deputy history, plus Wang Taishou still counted on him to share military merits, so he would definitely not refute his own face, just to give this Cheng Demou.

I have to say that soft eggs also have the benefits of soft eggs, simply neat!

However, Han Dang's side was really helpless.

In this way, on the second day, the two Taishou counted the heads together, set the merits, and then rewarded them with money and goods, and bought wine and meat, and Lu Longsai was full of jubilation. And the results of Cheng Pu and Han Dang did not run out of the previous gossip at all, the former took a big fortune and was directly named to the deputy history of Fa Cao in the county, and the latter was promoted to the same rank of two hundred stones, but it attracted the jokes of his comrades in the fortress.

The matter was settled, Gongsun Xun didn't have the face to see Han Dang again, and barely spent a day in the fortress, and when Gongsun Yue also got the letter of recommendation, he gathered Gongsun Zhan, and the three brothers directly led the guests and companions back to Lingzhicheng for the New Year. At the same time, it is also to pack up things, say goodbye to family, and prepare to go to Luoyang as soon as spring begins.

"I kind of get it." One day after the year, in the afternoon, the snowflakes fell like goose feathers outside the window, and in a bright house in the clan that burned the earth dragon "invented" by Gongsun Auntie, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but say a sentence in his heart after drinking a few more cups. "This big husband can't be without power for a day!"

"What do you mean by that, big brother?" Gongsun Yue, who was called over to accompany him to drink, looked puzzled. "Why did such a sentence suddenly come out of the New Year?"

"What can you say?" Gongsun Chan couldn't help but sneer as he poured himself a cup of hot wine. "You see, before my father-in-law appreciated me, the only powerful people in the clan who valued me were Ah Xun's family, and my father didn't look at me squarely...... And Ah Xun, hmph, is actually a fatherless, which can be regarded as sympathy. But once I became the son-in-law of the county guard, these days, those people who I had never seen in the past have become condescending and approaching one by one...... The new houses with independent houses have been delivered! By the way, does Ah Yue know the son-in-law in the second room? ”

"It's the grandson of the uncle who served as the Taishou of Shanggu County, the one called Gongsun Fan?" Gongsun Yue thought about it slightly, and then reacted. He ...... What's wrong? ”

"He also came to me this morning to congratulate me on the New Year." Gongsun Chan still sneered. "This is the first time I think about it, I'm the eldest brother in my life."

Gongsun Yue was speechless.

On the one hand, he has been poor since he was a child and has been discriminated against a lot, so he seems to have such a recognition of Gongsun Zhan's complaints; But on the other hand, after all, the grandson Fan came with courtesy, and although he didn't deliberately get close to him before, he didn't have targeted evil words and deeds, just because he was from a good background, he hated others for no reason...... What is this?

"Look!" The more Gongsun Chan drank, the more he talked. "My grandson Bogui must one day be a father-in-law like two thousand stones, rampant and unscrupulous, and no one will look down on me again!"

Gongsun became more and more silent.

"Alright." At the same time, in a deep house compound on the east side of the clan settlement, the earth dragon "invented' by Gongsun Auntie is also burning", and Gongsun Auntie, who is sitting cross-legged on the fire kang, finally put down the account book in her hand, and then put down her cherished glasses with some impatience. "Didn't you just help that Han Dang get a good position, it's been a sigh for several days. What are you doing? It's not a good mood for the New Year! ”

"The point is that it's a pity!" Gongsun Xun was lying on a strange bench by the window in the distance, staring at the snowflakes falling like goose feathers outside the window, feeling a little frustrated. "I went to the night raid to win him over, but I didn't think about it, but in the end, I was planted in a sentence from Taishou...... It's nice to have the right to do everything in one word. ”

"That's why it's called a feudal society." Aunt Gongsun also sighed. "When I was younger, I was even more unaccustomed to this because you know it. But it can't be helped, that's the way of the world. This Han Dynasty is easy to talk about tens of millions of people, what can you do alone? Since you can't afford to change it, you can only choose to blend in with it and use its rules to put yourself in a good position...... The same will be true in the future, and the so-called effort ......"

"Strive to reach the princes, in order to save their lives in troubled times." Gongsun Xun came as soon as he opened his mouth. "I know."

"If you know, it's good." As she spoke, Aunt Gongsun lay on her back on the kang, and a little maid flexibly climbed forward and began to massage her temples. "Silly son, I'll say a few more words today, and you will listen carefully to me. As for your wife and I, I have also observed this world for decades, objectively speaking, there are two things in this Han Dynasty that are definitely more troublesome than the Xianbei people who have been fighting for years and years. One is regional discrimination, not to mention between states, even the people in the next county can not let you do business there because you are not from this county, even if you pass by them, the local big family can pull out the knife for no reason, just because you are a foreigner! You see our business, there is no shortage of capital and channels, but to the west is not to pass the line of Zhuojun and Zhongshan, and to the south is not to go to Mount Tai. Being able to open a semicolon in Yecheng is already a face for the sake of years of cooperation in Jizhou. If the Mi family in Xuzhou doesn't give face, you won't be able to shop in Langya. ”

Gongsun Xun also shook his head, this is a common topic between mother and son.

"There is another one, which is the origin problem we are talking about." Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but sigh faintly when she said this. "I think back then, fortunately, it was your father who I met as soon as I came out, and he could still leave me the name of Gongsun Aunt when he died. You say, if I encounter a cold door, wouldn't it be the difficulty of the eighteenth layer of hell? This is going to meet a low-level ordinary people, so is there any other way out than waiting for death like those refugees in Guanzi City? Besides, fortunately, I didn't wear it when I was traveling in Korea, so if I did, I guess I would be sold somewhere as a slave girl in Samhan......"

The last sentence, Gongsun Xun Chundang didn't hear it.

"In short, these days, don't talk about low-level civilians like Han Dang, even if they are rich and powerful but have no connections and knowledge inheritance, that is, the so-called 'cold family', they can only be a rich man, and they can't see the slightest hope of taking a step forward......"

"Since the world is like this, why did my mother teach me from a young age to treat people equally, to take talent as the standard, and not to pay attention to background?"

"Because it's right to treat everyone equally," Aunt Gongsun replied as she raised her hand to interrupt the maid's massage, sat up, and sat up. And this kind of discrimination is wrong! Think about it, if it weren't for the upper echelons locking the passage for the lower echelons to go up, if it weren't for the fact that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, if it weren't for these people in power who don't know how to treat everyone equally, wouldn't this Han Dynasty be going on for generations? The 400-year-old Han Dynasty, with such a large territory and such a large population, is it the current situation, isn't it because there are too many such wrongdoings? ”

Gongsun Xun was slightly stunned, turned his head to stare at his mother, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Boy, what do you want?" Although Aunt Gongsun didn't wear glasses, she also sensed her son's abnormality.

"I'm thinking...... This time, I really believed what my mother said. Gongsun Xun said as he got up. The people in power are like Hou Taishou, even if they are capable, the world will be chaotic. ”

"What you say also points to the inner logic." Aunt Gongsun nodded slightly. "Let me tell you bluntly, such a big dynasty will fall, and the internal contradictions must have intensified to a certain extent. It is not very obvious here in the border county, after all, the national contradiction here suppresses the class contradiction, and I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing...... If you have a chance to see the counties in the interior, it's called a ......."

"Therefore, a husband cannot be without power for a day!" Gongsun Xun suddenly turned over and sat up from the strange recliner, as if he hadn't listened carefully to his mother's teachings at all. "The person who sits in Hou Taishou's position should be a person like me!"

"Gongsun Xun, I have to warn you! In this troubled world, it doesn't hurt to be ambitious, but you have to do what you can, and those who die first are all early birds...... You're going out? ”

"Hey." Gongsun Xun, who had already begun to dress with the assistance of the maid, answered in a low voice.

"It's been the New Year, and it's snowing so much, you go out now...... Where to? Do you want to drink with that kid from Gongsun Zhan? ”

"I don't have that mind." Gongsun Xun shook his head and replied. "Such a heavy snowfall is a disaster for some people, and for others...... Isn't that what you taught me, Mother? The guests and horsemen who fought with me and died outside Luronse, should have brought them some more dry wood and charcoal. Before leaving, it can be regarded as a thought. ”

"Then go ahead." Aunt Gongsun couldn't help but put on her glasses and glanced at her son. "In the past few years, I have really grown a lot in the county government...... It's just that the charcoal thing is too troublesome, and I haven't found a suitable coal mine, otherwise I can make the whole city freeze to death. ”

Gongsun Xun pushed the door out and walked away in the snow.

"Gongsun Zhan is a native of the Lingzhi branch of Liaoxi, and a brother of the Taizu clan. It is a book under the county gate. There is a posture, a loud voice, Hou Tai guards the instrument, and uses his wife to send Lu Zhi of Zhuojun to read the scriptures. Later, he was reinstated as a county official. —The Book of Old Swallows. Book XXIX, Biography XV
