Han Yi looked at Lu Ping who was far away, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Pay is the Heavenly Dao General of the Yellow Turban, and this matter has a lot to do with it. Listening to the meaning of the court, he will never let go of the Changshan Yellow Turban Thief easily. If you can't deal with the bright ones, then you will come to the yin ones. If the court learned that Zhu and Qiu Er, who were summoning the tomb, were related to themselves and the Heavenly Dao generals, it would be a big disaster. Fortunately, I knew the truth today for some reason, otherwise once I had an attack, I would still be kept in the dark.

On the second day, the generals of the two armies of the north and south went on the road refreshed, and Han Yi also greeted them one by one with a smile on his face. Bao Hongdang asked with a smile: "Mingyuan suddenly disappeared last night, did you meet a good person elsewhere, and didn't tell my brother." ”

Chao Yi smiled: "Where are there any good goods, it's just that there is something in my heart, and some can't let go." ”

Bao Hongqi said: "Oh? What's so important that you can't let go, even beauties can't relieve your troubles? ”

Han Yi said: "After you return to Beijing, the dragon will enter the sea, and the spring breeze will be tight. The younger brother is entering Beijing for the first time, but he is at a loss and doesn't know what to do. ”

Bao Hong patted his chest with laughter and said: "I thought it was something, isn't there still me, the head snake of Luoyang City, everything you have in Beijing is all right." Don't worry. ”

Han Yi asked: "All the exploits of the junior brother in Runan have been given to the ancestor Gong Wenzhaogong, and only a little bit of the first battle of Nanyang Wancheng can be mentioned." Going north to Changshan can be said to be an empty trip, but I really don't know what kind of reward I can get when I go to Luoyang City? Since it is useless to seek reward, it is better not to do it. ”

Bao Hong laughed and said: "Mingyuan is really a sincere person, who said that he must have merit as an official?" What are the merits of the princes in your Dao court, and what are the merits of the children of the Yuan family in Ruyang, Runan? Especially Yuan Benchu, the concubine of the Yuan family, has become the magistrate of Puyang County before the age of 20, what merits do he have? Soon after, he mourned due to his mother's illness, and then made up for his father's funeral, a total of six years. After that, Yuan Benchu refused the imperial court several times and lived in seclusion in Luoyang City for more than ten years. Last year, he was suddenly promoted to the position of the great general Peng, and in a few years, he could be promoted to a high-ranking official with a real post of 2,000 stones, what merits does he have? ”

Bao Hong suddenly said with some interest: "So, merit or anything is fake, only I and others who have no family background need merit to rely on." But this dependence is also the most unreliable, as long as you find a fault casually, your merit will be gone. When there is no family background, only climbing the benefactor is the most important. If you know anything about Zhu Gongwei's experience, you will know that this is true. ”

Han Yi knew that Zhu Jun's father died when he was a teenager, and his mother used to sell and buy silk as a family business, and Zhu Jun was famous for his filial piety to his mother. He is a good person who is righteous and light on money, and the township respects him very much. But the source of his money is all earned by his mother, and after all, Zhu Yi, the filial son Han Yi, really can't agree with it from the bottom of his heart.

Later, Zhu Yan's development was due to the fact that when the Zhou Gui of the same county was requisitioned before, he borrowed millions of money from the government to decorate his clothes. Later, Zhou Gui's family was poor and couldn't repay it, so Zhu Jun secretly stole his mother's silk to pay off Zhou Gui's debts.

Zhu Jun's mother was very resentful and blamed him, but Zhu Jun comforted her with the truth that he was poor first and then rich. The length of the county is still deep, and Zhu Jun is surprised, so he recommended him to the county guard Wei Yi, so Zhu Jun began to serve in the county and entered the officialdom. Later, Yin Duan appointed him as the main secretary.

In the second year of Xiping, Yin Duanzheng failed to suppress Xu Zhao, and was assassinated by the state, and should be beheaded. Zhu Jun quietly went to Beijing and spent hundreds of gold to buy off the court officials who presided over the chapter and changed the chapter of the assassin history, so Yin Duan had time to lose as the left school. Yin Duan was overjoyed when he saw that his sins had been reduced, but he was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know why his sins had been reduced.

Although Zhu Jun has never mentioned it to anyone, the news is still circulating strangely. Zhu Yan's official fortunes after that were smooth sailing, until he became the general of the town thief at this time. When he returned to Beijing this time, I am afraid that his official position will be promoted again.

Bao Hong suddenly smiled excitedly: "Brother, I have been as hard as you for more than ten years, until the year before last, since I got acquainted with Yuan Highway, it can be said that my future is bright." Although Yuan Highway is only the captain of Changshui, he is indeed the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, and he is more valued by the family than Yuan Benchu's concubine. If you climb to him, it is equivalent to to pay to Yuan. ”

"Last year, my brother gave me more than 2,000 gold, which made me happy with Yuan Highway. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I got the chance to be promoted to the right wind. This return to Beijing is the time when my brother is promoted. Therefore, only finding the right benefactor is a good way to be promoted in the future. After returning to Beijing, my brother introduced you to Yuan Highway, and you will be like me in the future. ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Although my brother's method is good, it is not suitable for me. When I was in Runan, I often heard that the children of the Yuan family had a luxurious style. Listen to the words of the elder brother, this Yuan Highway likes wealth, and its luxury is only afraid of being more prosperous, but my little brother has no money to spare, and I can't enter the door of Yuan Highway. ”

Bao Hong suddenly said hesitantly: "Also, Yuan Highway is known for his extravagance, and it is difficult for a poor disciple like you to enter his eyes." However, Yuan Highway is also known for his chivalrous spirit, in order to save the times and difficulties, and help the same kind, to revitalize the crisis, and to go to danger. If you don't ask for much, he will be happy for a while, and he may accept you. I don't know if you're ...... What are the requirements? ”

Han Yi sighed: "What can the junior brother ask for, with the junior brother's family background, he can get the position of county lieutenant, and he is very satisfied." ”

Bao Hong asked with some surprise and disbelief: "It's just the county lieutenant of the border county?" ”

Han Yi asked rhetorically, "Do I still want to be a school captain?" This is self-aware, and the younger brother still has it. ”

Bao Hong sighed and said: "Originally, brother, I thought that you wanted to join the Second Army of the North and South as a military candidate, or the position of county commander in a large county, and I didn't want to be just the post of a county lieutenant of 300 stones in a border county, and you were too unproductive." This position of county lieutenant, with my performance, you can get it, and you don't need to beg Yuan Highway at all. Forget it, it's 300 stones, I'll talk to Yuan Highway and give you a county magistrate of 300 stones. Civilian officials are better than military attachés. ”

Han Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "So, little brother, thank you brother." ”

The north of Luoyang City is based on the mountain, the south is over Luoshui, the east is according to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the west is the Hangu Pass. It is divided into three castle circles: Miyagi, Inner Castle, and Outer Castle. The outer Guocheng is rammed with solid earth to form a city wall, with a length and a width of about 20 li. Henan Yin has 220,000 households, Dingkou more than 130,000, and Luoyang City alone occupies more than 400,000 people in Dingkou.

The two armies of the north and south returned to their respective barracks, and Han Yi followed Bao Hong into Luoyang City and stayed in Bao Hong's private residence in Luoyang City. Along the way, I saw that Luoyang City was prosperous, with sparkling cars and horses, and a flow of people. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the twilight sunset is lightly sprinkled on the green bricks and green tiles, and the eaves of the pavilions, adding a bit of hazy and beautiful to the evening scene of Luoyang City.

Han Yi and Gao Lan, Qiu Gong, Wang Dang, Yu Hua, Zhou Ge, Yin Li, Chu Hu and other guards were dizzying and dazzled. Especially the bold women in the streets and alleys, constantly laughing at Han Yi and his party, which made everyone blush and feel helpless. The bold stared back, and the timid shrank their heads. Gao Ran exclaimed in surprise: "Good girl, what is the place in Luoyang?" There are so many beautiful women, and they are bold and frivolous, and I like ......"

The guards nodded again and again, and they were even more thinking in their hearts, during these days in Luoyang City, should they go out and seduce a few women from good families to have fun. At this time, the folk customs were relaxed, the girl lost her virginity, and the widow remarried was common, and only the women in the families of the dignitaries were slightly restrained, but there were often rumors of cheating. It is normal for all the protectors to have this thought in their hearts. Even Han Yi was restless in his heart.

Bao Hong's private residence is located in the south of the inner city, with a radius of only 1,000 steps, divided into three entrances, which can accommodate 100 people, and it costs as much as 5 million yuan. If it weren't for Bao Hong, as a captain of the Southern Army, if he wanted to buy a residence in the inner city, it would not have been possible. Luoyang City is really every inch of land.

I also listened to Bao Hongyan and the price of Luoyang, 600 yuan for linen, 1,000 yuan for silk, 1,300 yuan for silk, 1,500 yuan for white silk, and 2,500 yuan for fine silk. 500 yuan for a cloth garment, 700 yuan for a single garment, 450 yuan for a garment, 2,500 yuan for a brocade robe, and 1,000 yuan for a hakama; A pair of bast shoes is worth 40 yuan, a pair of socks is 20 yuan, and a silk, silk, and fur sweater is 2,000 to 6,000 yuan. Let Han Yizhi sigh at the high prices in Luoyang, touch the empty skin, and immediately put down his stupid thoughts.

There are only 20 guards in Bao Hong's house, and the others are servants and maidservants, there are more than 40 people, and more than 20 people such as Han Yi are just right to move in. At night, Bao Hong invited Han Yi to drink and talk, during which he mentioned various dignitaries and dignitaries in Luoyang City, which also made Han Yi understand a lot of the secrets of the court and the division of power among the court officials.

To talk about the forces in the court, the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong are the main ones, and more than ten other large and small families are supplemented. Yuan and Yang's families are both the fourth and third dukes, and their protégés are all over the world, and their own prestige is also extremely high in the government and the opposition.

However, there are similarities and differences between the two. The Yuan clan does not refuse the virtuous, foolish, corrupt and honest people in the world, so the Yuan clan is the strongest in the court. The Yang family attaches great importance to his own reputation, and is not a talent with a good reputation, so he will never accept it, so Yang's reputation is weak.

However, although the Yuan family is strong, it is not as noble as the Yang family in terms of reputation, and there are rumors of friendship with eunuchs. In terms of the letter of the Han Emperor, the Yuan family was also inferior to the Yang family.

Even He Jin, who had just served as a general for a year, had spent a lot of effort before he worshiped under the disciple of the former lieutenant Yang Ci and became a disciple of the Yang family, and was proud of it, which shows the name of the Yang family.
