Qiu Yi's deception caused everyone's surprise, and Zhu Mian was also stunned, but finally did not make another mistake, and silently agreed with Qiu Yi's lie. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Captain Bao shouted in surprise: "It turned out to be the virtuous son-in-law of the Zhaoling Xu family, misunderstanding and misunderstanding, it was just a joke before." But I don't know which son of the Yuan family General Zhu still has something to do with it, so don't bump into your own family. ”

Qiu Yi thought secretly: Although Yuan Shao, the concubine of the Yuan clan in Ruyang, has a higher reputation and better virtue, he heard that he is still dormant in Luoyang City at this time. Compared with Yuan Shulai, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, who is already Henan Yin, his influence in the court is still inferior. If you say the name of Yuan Shao, I am afraid that I can't shake this Captain Bao.

Qiu Yi responded: "My brother Mian is very much loved by Yin Yuan Fujun of Henan, and I have written several times to summon my brother to serve in Luoyang. It's just that the younger brother is an only son, and there is still an old father in the family, so he has not been able to make the trip. ”

Captain Bao slapped his leg and shouted: "Ah, ah, that's really a family who doesn't know a family." When Bao was in Beijing, he often intersected with Yuan Highway, walked horses and dogs, and knew each other, but he didn't expect to conflict with the love of the highway. Today is the first time I lost my words, and I ask General Zhu Xiao not to blame. ”

Qiu Yi asked: "Could it be that Captain Bao is the Captain Bao Hong and Captain Bao often mentioned in Yuan Fujun's letters?" ”

Bao Hong exclaimed: "In the letter to you, the highway also mentioned Bao? What an honor. ”

If a person wants to be a high-ranking official, in addition to his own family background, he also needs to have a reputation that is widely known to the world. Those who are famous can be called a celebrity, such as eight jun, eight and, eight gu, eight chefs and so on. As long as you become a celebrity, it is very easy to get the recommendation of others to become an official. The origin of fame is to be praised and exalted by other famous and high-ranking people at banquets in public places, or to mention in private letters where there are some virtuous and virtuous deeds.

Qiu Yi deliberately mentioned that Bao Hong's name was mentioned by Yuan Shu in his letter, not anything else, but just to express that Zhu Mian and Yuan Shu had a very close relationship. Qiu Yi smiled at Zhu Mian and said, "Since we are Captain Bao Hongbao, then we are really a family." Brother Mian, quickly put away the sword and accompany Captain Bao for one or two. ”

After Zhu Mian heard this, he also took the opportunity to go downhill, put away his sword and arched his hand: "Captain Bao, the kid is very young, and he can't stand today's matter." ”

Bao Hong shook his hand generously and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, let's not know each other." ”

As he spoke, he ordered everyone in the Southern Army to withdraw their swords and sit and talk with Qiu Yi and the others. He also ordered someone to bring the wine and food hidden in the army, and set up a small celebration banquet in the field. Under Qiu Yi's repeated praise against his will, Bao Hong was in a happy mood, and he drank a few more bottles. When he was drunk, he and Qiu Yi began to call each other brothers.

In the end, Bao Hong took Qiu Yi's hand and complained: "Brother Xian, don't you know, this Luoyang residence is not easy. Speaking of which, my brother and I were also born in a family of Haochang, the reason why I became a lieutenant before I was forty years. In addition to being able to lead the army to fight, it is to open the way with money and buy a lot of officials from the DPRK and China to speak for the elder brother, so that he can get this position. ”

"But when I became a lieutenant, it was already my highest achievement, and if I wanted to be promoted again, I had to squeeze into the circle of the children of the family lords in Luoyang City. But except for a few people, most of the sons of the family are wealthy owners who spend a lot of money. If you are shy, don't want to mix with them. How can I compare with them with my little net worth. I had to do everything I could to get money, so that I could show my face in front of the family. ”

"So, when my brother asked you about the money you wanted to seize, it wasn't that I didn't understand the rules of the army, but that I was really shy in my pocket recently. The elder brother had to stay away from Luoyang City to go to the Yellow Turban Thieves, in order to settle the Yellow Turban, and to save some money so that he could spend it in the future. ”

Qiu Yi sighed secretly, it turned out that it was not easy to be an official in the court. First, there was the seizure of Gong Zhangzang Yun County, and then there was Bao Hong's intention to force the friendly army to seize the seizure. It seems that the morale of the officials in the world is very bad, which makes the people leave the chaos one after another, not because the officials are evil, but because the emperor first loves money, buys officials and sells knights, and then the court ministers compare with each other. Middle- and lower-level officials have reasons to be greedy. If the court can promote talents impartially, how can the children of the poor family think of this evil method.

Qiu Yi asked: "Yingchuan is rich and rich, and the Bocai thieves have captured most of the counties of Yingchuan County, and there must be countless treasures and goods seized, haven't you distributed them?" ”

Bao Hong shook his head and said with a sneer: "Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are pretentious, known as honest and self-disciplined, and most of the seizures were left to officials at all levels in Yingchuan County to return the damaged families or to restore local production, leaving only a little property to reward the whole army. It's funny to say, the old brother is a military captain, and he was rewarded with 200 gold in the last three months of the war, which is too burying people. ”

"Brother Xian, you see, the two of them are not only not the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army, but even the people of Yingchuan may not be grateful to them. Because all the money will be privately divided among officials at all levels in Yingchuan, there will be very little money to restore production. Even the various families that were damaged would quarrel endlessly over these belongings, and they would fight openly and secretly. The final resentment of all this is still borne by the two of them. Even if the two of them were awarded official positions for meritorious service after the war, it would inevitably not last long. ”

After hearing this, Qiu Yi and the three of them sighed for a long time, and they couldn't help but hesitate about their future official careers. The status quo of such a filthy officialdom in the Han Dynasty is really difficult for people to be interested in stepping into.

After a drinking banquet, the resentment between everyone was overturned on the surface. It's just that if Bao Hong knows that Qiu Yi deceived him with false words in the future, he is afraid that it will be another big trouble. But at this time, when he was in Bao Hong's army, he couldn't care so much for a while.

After some deliberation on the river, in order to prevent Bao Hong from having the opportunity to embarrass Zhu and Qiu in the future, after crossing the river, he immediately sent 30 carts of seized 100 carts of goods to Bao Hong to comfort his heart.

On the way to lead the army back to the Mausoleum, Qiu Rui suddenly said: "The three of us are young, and we have wiped out 200,000 Yellow Turban Moth thieves, and we will definitely be famous in Zhenzhou County in the near future." Even if we are not officials, I think we will be respected by the world. The lintels of the Zhu and Qiu families do not need to be officials, and they will naturally improve. The officialdom at this time is too dirty, but I don't want to step into it at this time, so I'll wait for the officialdom to clear up in the future. Big brother, brother Mian, I have made up my mind to give all the merits of extinguishing 200,000 yellow turbans to Gong Xianjun, in order to repay Gong Xianjun's trust. I wonder what you two think? ”

Zhu Mian nodded and praised: "That's right, Gong Xianjun and my Zhu and Qiu families have great kindness. He was seriously injured and about to die at this time, and the only thing he couldn't let go of was the youngest son and orphan grandson in Shu. We just used this great achievement to earn a waiting position for the Gong family, so as to reassure his heart and repay his great kindness. Brother-in-law, what do you think? ”

Qiu Yiying said: "It's good that you have decided, I originally wanted to give you my credit, and you gave him the credit in order to repay the great kindness of Gong County, which is also impossible." It's just that Gong Xianjun is seriously injured, and we are white, so who will do it for him? ”

Qiu Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Xu praises Gong Xianjun very much, but it is better to ......."

Qiu Yi stopped: "It's not good, it's not good, Xu Jun has never been out of office, and he has no connections in the court." Besides, he is a square person, and he can't do this kind of thing of running for office. If you don't have any other candidates, then let me beg Zhao Jun to guard Zhao Qian, right? ”

Qiu Rui exclaimed: "Zhao Qian Zhao Junshou? Can the eldest brother see Zhao Junshou? It seems that Gong Xianjun and Zhao Junshou have a spare time, right? I'm afraid that he doesn't want to. ”

Qiu Yi smiled: "What if there is a gap, it must not be a big gap." Otherwise, Gong Xianjun would not have obeyed Taishou's orders several times, and Zhao Junshou would have punished him. Besides, Gong Xianjun was seriously injured and couldn't be a director, and I went to Zhao Junshou in private, and when the court issued the edict of reward, Gong Xianjun was probably seriously injured and passed away. There is no need to let Gong Xianjun know about these things, just let his descendants benefit. ”

Qiu Ruizan said: "What the eldest brother said is very true, then please leave everything to the eldest brother." ”

Zhao Qian's name Yanxin, his grandfather is Zhao Jie, the word Zhibo, a native of Shu County. The five emperors of Han'an, Shun, Chong, Quality, and Heng, and the elders of the five dynasties. In the Han Shun Emperor, Emperor Chong, Emperor Qian, Emperor Heng of the three princes. His uncle is Zhao Dian, who also served as a lieutenant.

It is said that Zhao Qian is also the son of the second and third dukes, and if there is no accident, he will inevitably become one of the three dukes of the court in the future. Although Zhao Qian is not very good at eliminating the Yellow Turban Moth thieves in the county, he is a fair and honest official, jealous and hateful, and in the eyes of the world, he can be regarded as a rare good official.

It's just that in Qiu Yi's eyes, it can't make the people in the county live and work in peace and contentment, and live a worry-free life; In times of floods, droughts, and epidemics, it could not help the poor and secure the people, but let the Taiping Road deceive many people; In the end, the leaderless Yellow Turban Moth thieves captured most of the county towns in Runan, and Zhao Qian was extremely incompetent, just a mediocre official. If you don't have a prominent family background, being the head of a county is reluctant.

When Qiu Yi led the army back to help Zhaoling a few days ago, he went to Pingyu City and met Zhao Qian, the Taishou. The hundreds of thousands of stone grain in Snapyang City and the garrisons of Snapyang, Xiangcheng, Xinyang, Yilu and other counties were transferred to Zhao Qian. Even the thieves in Gushi and Xincai counties handed over the letters to Zhao Qian, and waited for Zhao Qian to send someone to accept the surrender. Therefore, it has a slight connection with Zhao Qian.

Qiu Yi led dozens of horses to Zhiping Yucheng in Runan County, and it was funny to see that Pingyu City was still a rumor. I don't know if the ability of myself and others is too high, or if there are really no heroes in Runan County, so I let myself and others become famous.
