Chapter 13 Prince Zimu
The life of the small Taoist temple has not undergone any changes, the big rooster with the flower tail still reports on time every day, and the old Taoist still sits in the bedroom every day to realize the Tao; It's just that Xiao Yi, who goes to the river to run every day, has an extra "pony cabbage" running fast by his side.
This year is the fourth year of Zhongping in the Great Han Dynasty, autumn, 187 AD.
In this year, Emperor Ling of Han, who was addicted to pleasure, built a thousand houses in the West Garden. Drain the canal water to circulate everywhere. The canal is planted with lotus flowers offered by the southern country, named 'Naked Pavilion', and the palace ladies are stripped naked and frolicking and chasing in it.
This year, the 34-year-old Cao Cao was appointed as a military captain and became one of the eight captains of the elite West Garden of the Han Army, and began to pursue his dream of "a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times".
This year, 27-year-old Liu Bei took his righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be named the county lieutenant of Anxi County for their meritorious service in suppressing the Yellow Turban Army and began their political career.
It's still this year; Born in 182 A.D., Sun Quan, the future Taizu of Wu, was just 6 years old before he replaced his first baby tooth.
(The above figures are the real ages of historical figures, not scribbled.) )
History is the history of big people, and no one cares about the happiness and pain of a small person, but it is often countless small people who are pushing the wheel of history forward......
Back in time, when Xiao Yi stood by the vegetable field and was furious, the weasel's horse gang also came to the Panlong River and returned to Qingzhou, which is the only way to go.
The guide 'Lao Zheng Tou' and the weasel walked side by side, talking to something from time to time, and his casual demeanor and unscrupulous words proved that his true identity was not as simple as a guide;
A group of people came to the north bank of the Panlong River and stopped for a while; The horses all crowded to the river to drink, and for a time people shouted and neighed, which alarmed countless birds and ...... in the grass on the bank.
It turned out that the yellow rat was persecuted by the big family of the scholar clan, his wife and children died, but he swore revenge but his martial arts were low, and he was lonely, unable to deal with these wealthy families, and he was extremely depressed He suddenly thought: "I can't take revenge on the living, can't I take revenge on the dead?" ”
So he resolutely joined the ranks of local tomb robbers in Qingzhou, it is strange to say, the yellow rat who has no improvement in Xi Wen and martial arts, but he is quite talented for tomb robbery, in just one year, he has become a famous local tomb robber leader in Qingzhou, relying on a pair of sharp eyes, and accurate judgment of the terrain and landform, once robbed the tombs of four official eunuchs in a month, and found countless gold, silver and jewelry.
It's a pity that people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the yellow rat who doesn't know how to act low-key is wanted by the government with a lot of money, and finally is betrayed by a greedy little minion and imprisoned; Just when he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Zhang Jiao led people to break through the city, open a warehouse to release grain, and release prisoners; Out of gratitude to Dade and resentment towards the government, he resolutely joined the Yellow Turban Army. Even after Zhang Jiao's soldiers were defeated and killed, the yellow rat was still loyal to the cause of rebellion, actively running around and contacting the rest of the Yellow Turban Army; This time, he risked his life and personally went to the territory of the Huns outside the Saiwai to sell horses, just to raise mounts for the rebel army.
"The river water is as clear as a dragon, the mountains are strong as a tiger, and the yin and the yang are embraced, which is a great feng shui treasure...... However, here the green dragon is in the west, the white tiger is in the east, the yin and yang are reversed, the terrain is high on the north bank and the south bank is low, the photo book says that this is called the '**** dragon's back', it is the anti-guest-oriented, the elephant of the minister and the king; the land of great evil and great evil, and the land of great wealth and nobility...... Blame! It's weird!
When the weasel was puzzled, the old Zheng Tou beside him opened his mouth and said: "Leader Huang, crossing the river is the territory of the Gongsun family of the 'Panlong Pavilion', the Gongsun family is a tyrant here, and his subordinates also privately raise hundreds of armor soldiers, more than 1,000 strong men, bullying men and women on weekdays, smuggling goods, and doing all kinds of evil; To be on the safe side, are we going to take a detour? ”
"The Panlong River stretches for nearly 100 miles, the water flow is turbulent, the reefs are dense, the river is wide, even the smaller fishing boats can't pass, only here the water flow is slow, the terrain is flat, and there are wooden bridges to cross the river; If it is a detour, it will definitely consume a lot of time, and the brothers in Qingzhou are still waiting for our war horses, and they must cross the river quickly; As for the Zhu family, although they are domineering, as long as we pay the toll in full, they won't embarrass us," the yellow rat said after thinking for a while.
………………………………
'Panlong Pavilion' or should be called 'Gongsun Pavilion', the first local Gongsun family, a large population, rich family wealth, the original Gongsun old lady also used money to donate a 'filial piety' position, on weekdays to rob men and women, dominate one side, plus secretly smuggled a large number of ironware, salt, silk...... has become a character who can eat both black and white dishes within a radius of 100 miles around here, and the Gongsun family also holds the position of the pavilion chief of the 'Panlong Pavilion'!
The mansion of the Gongsun family is built at the highest point of the Panlong Pavilion, it is said that here is the place of the dragon's head, the feng shui is excellent, the house covers an extremely wide area, the house courtyard is not less than hundred, the rockery, the pool, the garden have everything, the slaves and maids are in groups, and they are not inferior to the general eunuch family.
At this time, above the main seat of the main hall, sat a young man, twenty-four or five years old, with a slightly thin figure, thin willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, a tall nose, thin lips, a white and beardless face, a long head of hair fluttering, tied to his forehead with a pink ribbon, if he had not seen the Adam's apple on his neck, he would have been mistaken for a beautiful woman like a flower; It's just that the dark circles under his eyes and his sunken cheeks show that this son is a little overly drunk...... It's a merry little gentleman;
He is the 'Panlong Pavilion' of the young owner Gongsun Xun, it is said that when his grandfather - that is the old man who spent money to buy filial piety when he was alive, he dreamed of a purple sacred wooden stake falling from the sky, the wooden stake was thorough, gorgeous, and also painted with the mysterious pattern of the seal of the twenty-eight stars, and the three golden characters of the book "Sleepy Dragon Pile" were falling in the courtyard of his house, which frightened the old man to wake up suddenly, just at this time, someone came to report, saying that his eldest grandson was born; The overjoyed old man thought that this was a great omen, so he named his grandson; 'Little Wood', the big name - Gongsun Xun, wait until the 'Little Wood' weak crown becomes an adult, and then take the table word: 'Zimu', and the people in the pavilion call him 'Zimu Gongzi'!
After the death of Lao Xiaolian, his son took over the family business, but the grandson was not in good health, and he usually cultivated in the back house, and handed over many things to his son Gongsun Zimu to deal with; The 'Zimu Boy' is very smart and unforgettable, he has invited famous teachers to teach since he was a child, he is both civil and military, and he travels to study all over the world when he is a little older, and makes friends with heroes......
At this time, the 'Zimu Prince' was closing his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart that he would go to the concubine's room for the night tonight, don't look at his age, but he married a 17-room concubine, which is not counted, he usually likes to go out to pick some wild flowers......
Report! …… A housekeeper guarding the gate of the village ran in, bowed down and saluted, and said, "Gongzi Qiyu, there is a group of horse dealers who are driving more than 100 horses from the north bank of the river to borrow a road from the village. ”
"Oh? What kind of horses do you have? Have you ever seen it? How many horse dealers are guarding? ”
Hui Gongzi: "More than 100 horses are fat and strong, tall horses. Looking at the color of the coat and demeanor, there must be no doubt that the Hun horses outside the pass, a total of 27 horse dealers led the team; Already came to the bridge. ”
'Hun horses! Zimu Gongzi suddenly opened his peach blossom eyes, revealing a trace of greed, thought for a while, and said to the side: "Zhu Jiu, you go and see, according to the rules of our 'Panlong Pavilion' Gongsun family, the past goods 'every ten taxes and one' let them leave one percent of the horse goods, this son is preparing to form a riding slave, and the rest of the horses will be bought cheaply for me;
Since the beginning of Emperor Jing in the Han Dynasty, the national tax of imperial grain is only 'thirty taxes and one', but a small tyrant dares to 'one tax per ten', and his domineering and greed can be seen in general.
"No, Childe!"; With the voice, a person walked out of the side, about forty years old, fat, full of meat, it was the big butler under the son of Zimu, who was originally the slave son of the Gongsun family, given the surname Zhu, named Zhu Dayong; Because he can slip around and pat the horse and carry some unsightly black pots for the master, he is deeply loved by the old man of the previous generation, and now he has risen to the position of the big butler. Zhu Dayong flattered and bullied, cruel and mean, often bullied Zhuang Zhong and the weak, and deducted Zhuang Ding's fortune because of his obesity; The people at the bottom called him 'pig intestines!' behind his back. ’。
