Chapter 2 The Year of Flowing Under the Tree

After setting the word 'leaving', Gongsun Xun is really leaving...... It is not easy to delay the appointment of officials by the imperial court, especially when the envoy came over this time, he didn't even mention the 'official money' before taking office, and he has already given enough face, what else do you want?

So, after a few days of waiting, Gongsun Xun led his righteous servants, as well as Lu, Shen, Lou, Han, Wang, Wei and others, prepared the carriage and horses, and went first. As for Zhao Yun and Feng Zhi, they did not want to stay in Liaodong to serve their mother-in-law like the pregnant Bian Yu, but said that they would leave later and follow slowly, so as not to delay the trip to the post.

There is no way, this is the so-called eunuch tour, with the continuous change of official positions, a court official is likely to spend tens of years and a whole month to go to a place to take office, and then once something happens, he will quickly step down or transfer. And this is also an important reason why the imperial court generally only appoints county chiefs, and county magistrates generally only recruit functional officials from the local area.

While maintaining the authority of the central government, it is necessary to ensure the continuous operation of the government, right?

But having said that, in the past six months, since the emperor began to systematically 'sell officials' on a large scale, the imperial court began to unconsciously and frequently transfer the positions of court officials in order to 'generate income'.

In this case, the balance between the central and local areas becomes more delicate.

Of course, Gongsun Xun didn't think too much about this problem at this time, and he was taking advantage of the spring season to stride along the land route to Handan.

Crossing the Liao River, crossing the famous Yiwulu Mountain, visiting his father-in-law and former chief official Zhao Bao, and then hurried through Liucheng and Guanzi City into Lulongsai, and then stayed in Lingzhi for two or three days, which was to gather the elders of the clan and worship the ancestors...... And when Gongsun Fan, who was finally ready to go to Luoyang to serve Liu Kuan, was on the road again, he had actually come to the hinterland of Hebei in front of him, and the seemingly distant distance was actually halfway there.

It is worth mentioning that the number of righteous servants around Gongsun Xun at this time is far greater than the situation when he went to Liaodong to take office.

In fact, when they came out of Liaodong, there were a few Yicong who lost their ambition and were injured in the First World War of Goguryeo took a fancy to the richness and comfort of Liaodong, and chose to stay in Liaodong and settle down, and Gongsun Xun also had some proper resettlement with them. However, Aunt Gongsun temporarily added a cavalry team of dozens of people when her son left, which was an orphan adopted and raised by the Amway over the years, and most of them were prepared to be put on the Amway as the backbone of the escort team.

In this regard, Gongsun Xun of course understands that these people are probably more of their own mother's henchmen than their own henchmen, and in addition to protecting themselves, I am afraid that they also have the meaning of acting as eyes and ears and transmitting information. This design has been used before, but this time there are too many people, and it is just too obvious.

But how to say it? After all, the mother and son are naturally consistent, and Gongsun Xun also wants to reassure his mother, so he accepts it straightforwardly.

And then all the way from the outside of the Saiwai, there were some children of the leaders of the small tribe of Zahu, who also followed all the way on white horses, including a cousin of Mo Hu and a cousin of Duan Ri Yu Ming. In this regard, Gongsun Xun, who had just run out of people, was not good at picking people, and he also pinched his nose and accepted more than a dozen.

Finally, after coming to the Lingzhi Gongsun family located on the Hebei Plain, it was even more like a cloud.

To tell the truth, among the people who rode up on white horses at this time, those good families from border counties who came to admire them were all bows and horses. Some of the children of the local clan, as well as the children of the Gongsun family, and even some other seven, seven, eighty, or eight characters, are actually very disobedient to Gongsun Xun's eyes, and even Han Dang is a little dissatisfied...... However, Gongsun Xun can't shirk it, and even one of them is not good!

Because, this represents the official contribution of the local clan and villagers, and the official recognition of the Gongsun family, they come from all sides, and everyone represents something behind them.

These people choose to follow you, it is a matter of course that you become a careless pavilion marquis, wear a purple ribbon gold seal, and get the full support of the Gongsun clan, as for people have to change a white horse, and then pretend to be an elite warrior, that is just your Gongsun Xun's own personal style, but it has nothing to do with others.

As a result, Gongsun Xun could only accept this batch of righteous followers who were obviously superior and inferior from level to morality, and then prepared to slowly identify and eliminate them after they arrived in Handan.

In this way, starting from Lingzhi, Gongsun Xun's White Horse Yicong has actually swelled to the scale of two hundred! And the two hundred, all riding white horses, swaggered through the market...... At this time, it can only be said that fortunately it has arrived in Hebei, where there are many populated cities, and I am used to seeing big scenes; Fortunately, in recent years, the pomp and circumstance of nobles traveling are very large, and it is not uncommon for thousands of people to travel at every turn, and Han officials pay more attention to a prestige.

Otherwise, there might be some kind of mess!

But no matter what, after all, it was too dazzling, so Gongsun Xun did not follow the situation when he went to Luoyang from Bingzhou, and he interacted with the rangers along the way, let alone saw any relatives and friends, but just rushed to Handan as soon as possible...... Two hundred knights, white horses and black chariots, did not stop for a moment.

However, when passing by Zhuo County, Gongsun Xun made an exception, but specially stopped the trip, prepared to visit a family, and then look at a scene.

A family naturally refers to the upper ...... of Lu Zhifu in Fanyang City Mr. Lu has been in Luoyang all the year round, and he has served as two Taishou halfway, but he is alone, and occasionally takes two students to serve by his side, so his family is still in his hometown.

And since Gongsun Xun passed by here, he categorically did not mean to pass through the door and not enter.

As for a scene, it is in the north of Fanyang, somewhere in Zhuo County.

"My brother declined the invitation of Zhuojun Taishou, is it just to come and see this big tree?" Gongsun Fan, who was traveling with him, stared at the big mulberry tree in front of him, and also stepped forward to watch with a curious face. "It's really extraordinary, I felt that this canopy was like a car cover on the way I came before, and it was even more spectacular when I came to it. There has to be a ...... It has to be more than five feet, right?! ”

Gongsun Xun, who was dressed in brocade and white horses, and had purple ribbons and gold seals, looked up and looked at it with a daze, but he didn't say a word.

"Tell me to go down, those who stop outside the inner gate are not allowed to step on the green seedlings, and those who enter the inner gate are not allowed to disturb the people's door, and whoever commits a taboo will go home directly!"

It was spring, and the mulberry picking was just getting better, so although a large number of knights stayed outside the inner gate, even the dozens of people who entered the inner gate were enough to scare the big girls and young and old daughters-in-law under the big mulberry tree. And Han Dang also hurriedly instructed Gongsun Xun's routine, and then wiped his forehead and stepped forward with the others to watch the tree behind Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Fan.

However, as soon as Han Yigong raised his head, he couldn't help but blurt out: "This is like a big mulberry tree on the cover of a car, how can I seem to have heard it somewhere?" ”

"I've heard that, too." Lu Fan on the side also frowned at the beginning, but after all, he had a better brain than Han Dang, so he immediately lost his smile. "And I'm afraid the person who spoke is about to come out!"

Han Dang was still a little dazed, and the rest of the people were curious to ask when they heard this, but Gongsun Xun at the front still looked up at the tree and was distracted.

Soon, to the northwest of the tree, across a fence wall, the courtyard of an ordinary house with a white cloth hung on it, was now as chaotic as the rest of the house.

"Is Abi here?!" A young man suddenly pushed the door open at this time, but he was startled. "Why are there so many people?"

It is said that there were a dozen young men with swords sitting randomly in the courtyard, and there were a few inferior horses scattered. At this time, when I saw someone suddenly come in, the people below all looked around and ignored this person, and among the four people sitting on the mat in the courtyard, one of them did not change his face, two frowned, and one simply turned over and lay down.

"Abei!" Seeing this, the young man who came in immediately urged. "You get up quickly, there are a lot of people coming down from the big tree outside, I think it was a noble visit, but I didn't summon the elder and the clan elder, so my father sent me over to call you, asking you and me to welcome you together, and ask for clarification by the way."

As soon as these words came out, among the two frowning people, there was a tall and majestic young man with a strong facial beard and a tall and majestic figure who stood up with his knife: "Your clan has gone to welcome nobles, why do you need to let Brother Xuande do such a lowly thing?!" ”

The person who came was not afraid, and immediately became furious: "You are really rude, the elders of our clan have been sent, where is there any nobility for the younger generations?!" Aren't I going to welcome you too?! At this point, the man turned his head to look at the man whose face did not change. Ah Bei, you are too, it was okay before, but now you are in filial piety, how can you still not control your temperament to associate with these people? You and I were instructed by Master Lu in order to have a future background, are we just going to be ranger leaders for the rest of our lives?! ”

"What do you mean by that?!" As soon as these words came out, the other frowning person was also furious, and even pulled out his knife directly. "Look down on us Ranger?!"

"Stay!" At this time, he stood up first, and then the young man with signs of beard stretched out his hand to stop the other party, and although he was also angry, his words were clear. "This Liu Deran is Brother Xuande's brother, even if he is rude, we have no reason to draw a sword in the place where the family lives!"

"De Ran," the matter came to this point, and the white-faced and beardless man, that is, Liu Bei, of course, could no longer sit idly by, so he stood up and responded calmly. "Don't be surprised, these people are all my friends, and when they heard that my mother died, they came to pay their respects, and they came according to the rites. Many of them have also read from celebrities. As for the matter of flattery, you wait, I will tidy up my appearance and go with you......"

Liu Deran looked at the hemp rope tied around the other party's waist and the white cloth strip tied on his forehead, and couldn't help sighing, then shook his head, leaned against the door and waited.

On the other side, Liu Bei didn't rush to tidy up his clothes, but first turned his head and bowed slightly to the person who drew the knife: "Ah Lu, the disturbance in the house makes you laugh." ”

The young ranger, who was called Ah Lu, was also embarrassed to see this, so he quickly stuck the knife back, and then admitted that he was too impulsive.

"Uncle sent Deran not to despise me." At this time, Liu Bei further explained seriously to the surroundings. "In the clan, only me and Deran studied under the famous teacher, and they also studied in Luozhong, and my uncle's move was to borrow the knowledge of the two of us, but to value it."

As soon as these words came out, whether it was a few rangers here or Liu Deran at the gate over there, their tempers were gone.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was still expressionless, not happy or angry, but he just entered the room, found a dusty beam crown, carefully wiped it and put it on, and then prepared to go with Liu Deran to 'Fengying' the nobleman...... In other words, when the horse's hooves sounded just now, several rangers had already noticed it, but they were just talking, and they didn't have time to check, and Liu Deran came in first.

"Xuande, you live!"

Just as Liu Bei walked to the door, the young man lying on the mat suddenly turned over and called out to the other party.

"What do you have to say?" Liu Bei asked softly.

In other words, the surname of the person who was lying before was Geng Mingyong, who had just come of age this year, was the same age as Liu Bei, and took the word Xianhe, but he was a child of a broken family who moved from Jizhou to Zhuo County two years ago, and because the surname Geng sounded the same as Jian in Youzhou, he actually changed his surname directly and called himself Jian Yong, and his frenzy can also be seen.

"Indeed," Geng Yong, or Jian Yong, also stretched out and stood up when he heard this. "No matter who this noble person is, you can't fall into your prestige, why don't we go out and line up together to be a foil for you...... What do you think? ”

The rangers in the courtyard applauded, even the two people with a beard and called Ah Lu also bowed slightly, Liu Deran frowned and thought for a while, probably thinking that this also boosted the prestige of himself and the Liu family, so he did not object.

"Then it's hard work for you, brothers." Liu Bei looked around and saw that no one objected, so he calmly bowed and thanked him.

Having said that, however, when more than a dozen rangers dressed in cloth came out of the door, ready to puff up their chests and belly, and play a majestic show, they were also a little unable to move when they faced dozens of white horses and dozens of capable warriors under the big mulberry tree.

Looking closely, there are only Liu Deran, Liu Bei, Jian Yong, Beard, and that Ah Lu barely held his strength.

"Zhuo County Liu Deran, Liu Bei...... Met the nobles/guests! ”

In the midst of the white horses of the water, after holding on to the strength of the tree and coming to the tree, the two brothers of the clan bent down and saluted, but there was an obvious mistake in coordination.

In response, two laughter that seemed to be uncontrollable immediately came from the group of people in brocade clothes in front of them.

Liu Deran, who lowered his head, turned red, and couldn't help but turn his head slightly and glared at Liu Bei, and although the latter was expressionless, he also slightly pursed his lips with only a faint fluff by bowing his head.

Gongsun Xun, who had been watching the tree, finally turned his head when he heard this, and then crossed Lu Fan and Han Dang, who couldn't help laughing just now, and went straight to the pair of brothers surnamed Liu.

Not to mention the group of rangers behind them who were already stunned or even panicked, Liu Bei and Liu Deran couldn't help but look up at the same time...... Because the bowing of these two people did not delay them, they saw the purple ribbon gold seal tied around the waist of the person who came for the first time!

Gongsun Xun destroyed Goguryeo, and then as a matter of course, he made Hou ...... But he also went directly to the post as soon as possible. Lingzhi may have had information and preparations there, and official documents in the officialdom naturally spread along with it, but how could the people here in Zhuo County know so quickly?

As a result, Rao is Liu Bei now gradually has a feeling of joy and anger, and after raising his head, his shock is no less than half a point less than Liu Deran next to him!

"Senior brother!"

"Brother Xun!"

"Abi, Deran." Gongsun Xun picked one up with one hand, took a look at the two who were just vaguely juvenile silhouettes, and looked carefully at the white cloth on Liu Beiliang's forehead, and couldn't help but sigh. "After a long time, I met the deceased again, but I couldn't recover it after the passing years! Abi ...... Is this Ling Tang Immortal gone? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei and Liu Deran were both suddenly moved, as if they were pursuing the passing years at the same time, and their mood was shaken...... However, when the former thinks of his deceased mother, he is also more and more sad; And the latter is a little surprised to see the achievements of the senior brother in front of him.

In fact, the mood of those rangers behind Liu Bei was also full of twists and turns...... At first, they didn't think so, and then when they saw the power of the person who came and the purple ribbon gold seal, they were shocked and frightened, and finally saw that this young nobleman was actually the senior brother of Liu Bei and Liu Deran, but they also had the intention of stealing joy at the same time.

"Ah Bei, I didn't pay attention to your filial piety just now, I was overjoyed to see you coming, and I couldn't help laughing, please don't be surprised!" After Han Dang and Lu Fan glanced at each other, they also hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other.

"Senior Brother Ziheng! Brother Righteous Father! Liu Bei naturally hurried to return the salute one by one.

"In the spring of last year, Senior Brother Han went to Fanyang to visit Master Lu's house, and I heard him say that Senior Brother became Shang Shulang, which already made me admire." At this time, Liu Deran couldn't help but hold Gongsun Xun up his arm and became chattering. "Why did you hang a purple ribbon gold seal in a year?"

"I raised troops in Liaodong to destroy Goguryeo," Gongsun Xun also responded indifferently. "I just sealed the ...... of the Pavilion of Carelessness"

Hearing this, the rangers behind Er Liu became more and more dumbfounded, and even the three people in front of them also widened their eyes.

Gongsun Xun looked at these people, and pretended not to care, but grabbed Liu Bei's arm again, and said to the people behind him: "These two people are Liu Bei and Liu Deran of Zhuojun, both of whom are classmates with me and Ziheng under the Lu Sect of the Lu Sect of the Shan Clan, and they are also old people with Yigong...... Ah Fan, Zhengnan, you might as well come and get acquainted. ”

When Gongsun Fan, Shen Pei, Lou Gui, Wang Xiu and others heard this, they also packed up their thoughts and stepped forward to salute...... In other words, Gongsun Xun only knew at this time that Liu Bei's mother had not survived the illness in winter, and had just passed away for more than a month, because he was the only one left in the household, so he asked the elders of the clan to give Xuande, the word that had been expected for a long time.

When everyone heard this, they sighed first...... Some people sigh that Liu Bei has been lost since he was a child, and now he has no mother, no wonder he has become so mature that it is like a different person; Some people sighed that it was no wonder that Gongsun Xun would take special care of this kind of character, it turned out that the fate was similar, both of them were raised by their fathers who died early and were raised by widowed mothers; There are also people who sigh that Liu Bei is unlucky, since this is in filial piety, even if Gongsun Xun has the heart to promote him, it is not easy to do!

Of course, no matter what, since you know about this and have a meeting with your classmates, it is natural to go inside to worship in order to become a ritual.

And when the brief worship was completed at Liu Bei's house, and because his courtyard was narrow, Er Liu had to go to the neighbor's house to borrow mats, spread them under the big mulberry tree, and sit and reminisce.

At this moment, Gongsun Xun suddenly smiled at the cloth-clothed rangers and beckoned: "How many of them are my brothers and friends?" Why don't you take a seat? ”

Gongsun Fan, Juan Pei, and Wang Xiu all frowned when they heard this, but after all, they respected Gongsun Xun and didn't say anything.

However, Liu Deran immediately explained: "Jun Hou, this is Xuande's friend!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Fan, Lou Gui, and Han Dang also frowned immediately, and for a while, only Liu Bei's face was as usual.

However, Gongsun Xun didn't care at all, just smiled and carefully examined the rangers, and what made him feel excited was that the tall young man with a beard was indeed the first to come over.

"This is my friend of life and death! It's ......"

"Let the strong man speak for himself." Liu Bei hurriedly introduced him straight, but was stopped by Gongsun Xun waving his hand.

"I've seen Jun Hou," although this person looks heroic, he has no loss of etiquette.

That's right! Seeing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

"Under the surname of Mingzhao, the word Zijing, Jizhou Anping Guanjin people!"
