Everyone returned to the south gate of Yangzhai County in the evening, and Xi Zhicai, who had already received the news of the horse exploration, breathed a sigh of relief. But when he glanced at the crowd, he didn't see Guo Bin's figure, so he hurriedly pulled Zhao Yun and asked in a trembling voice: "Zilong, where is the lord?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "Sir, don't worry, the lord has nothing to do, just take care of the apricot girl in the carriage." He gestured to the carriage behind him.

Xi Zhicai nodded at this time and said, "It's good if there's nothing, it's good if there's nothing." ”

Guo Bin heard the voice, jumped down from the carriage, and said, "Zhicai has worked hard, I'm fine." Before he finished speaking, he was surprised and happy when he saw the person standing behind Xi Zhicai.

Quickly stepped forward and said, "When did Mr. Fan arrive at Yang Zhai?" It's, it's really, it's great! ”

Now standing behind Xi Zhicai, looking at Guo Bin with a smile, who is Fan A, who is not Hua Tuo's disciple? Although it was late autumn, Fan A seemed to not know the cold, and it was still short brown straw shoes.

Seeing that Guo Bin recognized himself, Fan A smiled and said: "It is Fan A, who was ordered by the family teacher to come to Yang Zhai to help Qianyang." ”

Guo Bin said solemnly: "Huagong Shengde, Bin is unforgettable. Mr. Fan doesn't have to be in danger to help the kid, it is really a sense of guilt, and there is a matter that needs Mr. 's help at the moment. ”

At the moment, he ordered: "Zhicai, take everyone into the city, I will first ask Mr. Fan to take a look at the illness of the Xing'er girl." ”

Before the words fell, he pulled Fan A into the carriage, and left Liu Wei and Yuan Shao behind.

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't care, and together with Guan Yu, he commanded all the soldiers to enter the city. And the Yulin army returned to their usual high-spirited state at this time. The central regular army also has the qualifications to be arrogant.

As soon as he entered the city, everyone was shocked by Yang Zhai's vigorous vitality.

The most astonishing thing is that there is not a single homeless person in the city, and although there is no fat-headed person in the streets, there is not a single beggar in rags. Everyone seems to be in a hurry, and everyone seems to have their own work to do.

It is also true: the construction of the west of the city not only recruited all the displaced people, but even the aborigines in Yangzhai City were also recruited and thrown into the vigorous wave of construction in the west of the city. Because the autumn harvest has passed, it is the slack season, and the family has a winter's ration by doing small work.

And not every household in Yangzhai City has surplus grain, and now the owner of Fulong Villa has made the Yangzhai County Order, which has been quite effective in treating the displaced people, and now the initiative to build a new city is similar to the road construction a few months ago? How many poor families in Yangzhai County have been spared the scourge of being displaced people, which is inseparable from the road construction in Fulong Villa? Therefore, Guo Bin, the owner of Fulong Villa, is the existence of a Buddha in ten thousand families among the civilians of Yangzhai County.

This time to build a new city, there were already people in the city who went to the county government to find Xu Shu and asked if they needed manpower. After consulting Guo Bin, Xu Shu assigned these Yangzhai indigenous people who had participated in road construction to build the city wall.

Everyone walked on the street of Yangzhai, looking at the not very wide but empty street, and their hearts were shocked and inexplicable.

To say that this is nothing in normal times, but this is a year of famine, a year of famine for tens of thousands of displaced people from all over the world! Even Luoyang, the capital division, is full of homeless people inside and outside the city. Therefore, this kind of weather in Yangzhai City is becoming more and more unacceptable.

Xu Shu cleaned up the county office, and several houses near the left side of the county government were also rented to house the accompanying Yulin elite and Yuan Shao's family generals, which was cheap.

At night, it is natural that Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Wang Yue have to pick up the wind and wash the dust. Seeing that Guo Bin came to the hall with Fan A's red face full of light, he knew that Dong Xing'er was fine, and Yuan Shao and Guan Yu also fell to the ground with a stone in their hearts.

During the banquet, Guo Bin, who had returned to normalcy, first welcomed Liu Bian to come to Yangzhai, and then said: "The eldest prince came to Yangzhai, which is the creation and blessing of more than 60,000 people in my Yangzhai county. ”

Liu Wei said: "Where is it, the Hou of Fulong Pavilion is both civil and military, arrogant, and a little vain, is it for heroes?" Today's actions show that the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has the courage to do things, which is exactly the temperament of a person. No wonder even his father and emperor looked at the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion differently. ”

At this time, the old man with a sharp voice who was going to stop Guo Bin from getting into the car today interjected: "Zhang Changshi also often mentions the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion, saying that the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion is unparalleled, which is really a blessing for the country. ”

Guo Bin glanced at him, didn't answer, and said secretly in his heart: "This dead eunuch really treats himself as a thing." Your eunuch's ancestor Zhang makes me ignore it, what are you? ”

I only saw Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others secretly refreshed.

The eunuchs have been said to be rotten by civil officials and scholars, and everyone in the world feels that they are right, and it has become a recognized truth in the world. Whether you are the source of power or not, say you are, you have to be!

What Yi Yin and Huo Guang did should not be in line with Confucian etiquette, right? But the Confucian scholars in the world always have a way to find a theoretical basis for them, so that their misdeeds become legitimate misdeeds. Regardless of whether you are really acting nonsense or not, if you say that you are a good person, you are a good person, and you are not!

Whoever wants to collude with eunuchs will be a scumbag and a dog official, and they will be scolded by the world! But don't you want to think about it, the eunuch is the spokesperson of the emperor, and the real opponent of these scholars is not the eunuch, but the Son of Heaven! Personally participating in the power struggle, don't the civil servants know this truth? They know, but they can't say that they are competing with the Son of Heaven for power, right?

The Son of Heaven will never be wrong, is it the scholar who is wrong? No way! Then it can only be that there are traitors around the Son of Heaven, so the eunuch who stands in front of the stage and is responsible for summoning has become a natural artillery battery that attracts firepower, plus the people are not highly educated, and they don't know the truth of restraining their families and accumulating virtue and doing good, and there is an ancestor like Zhao Gao, who has the authority to cause trouble, and the eunuch is an incomplete person and is discriminated against. Under the combined effect of various factors, the literati of all generations began to talk nonsense with their eyes open.

This is the power of public opinion, this is moral kidnapping, don't accept it? Isn't that fair? But that's the reality. Civil officials and scholars are all over the feudal society, from the Son of Heaven to the countryside to show talents, and they are an extremely large rogue ~ hooligan force, and their ability to change customs can throw Western religion several streets.

Mr. Lu Xun's madman diary is full of the word "cannibalism" in the history books, which is not really the tragic situation of the poor people who change their children and eat, but the feudal ideology imprisons people's hearts with customs and education, and when everyone thinks that widows should be sunk in the pond when they remarry, it is when the history books eat people. When Bo Ji, who adheres to the etiquette, said: "The righteousness of a woman, the protector is not complete, and she will not go to the church at night, and the escort will come." And when they are burned to death, it is the time when the rites and religions eat people.

The so-called public opinion is vividly reflected here.

Therefore, the so-called "disaster of the party" is actually a struggle between the monarchy and the local powerful clans, but neither of them stands in front of the stage. The spokesperson of the monarchy is the eunuch, and the spokesperson of the Haoqiang clan is the "party man". Whether it is Dou Wu or Chen Fan or Li Ying, which one is not a famous family? Which one is not well-known? In this day and age, fame is power, and family is strength.

And those who had to enter the palace as eunuchs because of the poverty of their families, how can their family backgrounds be compared with these people? If they want to fight with these people, they can only rely on the imperial power. The emperor is not stupid, how could he not agree to use eunuchs to balance foreign dynasties in order to strengthen his control over the court situation?

It's just that these things, except for the few people who participated in or watched this struggle can see these things clearly, except for the few people who participated in or watched this struggle, or many people saw them clearly but didn't say it clearly, just to guide public opinion. But as they spoke, they also believed that eunuchs were really people who should be spurned. The lack of affection for this yin and yang old man in front of Xi Zhicai and others is very revealing.

During the banquet, Guo Bin carefully asked Yuan Shao about the beginning and end of Liu Yanlai's visit to Yangzhai, and he knew that this matter was actually a suggestion made by Zhang Rang, a regular servant of the Central Committee, to the Son of Heaven.

He Jin is Henan Yin, and it is not convenient to talk about this matter, and Guo Bin estimates that he still has some kind of secret deal with Zhang Rang, and he still needs to rely on the influence of the Ten Standing Servants in some aspects, so he can't get into too much trouble with him. If you want to say how Guo Bin knows, you can deduce one or two just by looking at He Jin's hesitant attitude towards the killing of eunuchs in history.

Moreover, as far as Guo Bin knows, Zhang Rang has an adopted son named Zhang Feng, who is a Taiyi Ling. This Zhang Feng's daughter-in-law, He, is Queen He's sister-in-law. To some extent, Zhang Feng and Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as brothers-in-law. Therefore, Liu Hong calls Zhang Rang "Father", as if there is some kind of rationality in the family relationship.

According to Yuan Shao, he and Wang Yue came to Yangzhai this time, and they were indeed entrusted by his uncle He Jin to escort the eldest prince Liu Zhi. To say that this is also a fat difference, it is always a good thing to have more contact with the prince. If he makes a meritorious service early, he will be the future emperor's henchman, and he will be an old minister of the palace, and his future will naturally be bright.

Moreover, He Jin asked Liu Hong to be escorted by the elite of the Yulin Army, and Liu Hong agreed without hesitation. Therefore, according to the original assumption, the security aspect should not be a problem.

After listening to Yuan Shao's detailed explanation, Guo Bin was silent. Until the end of the banquet, when Guo Bin sent Yuan Shao back to the room, the two had another earnest conversation.

Yuan Shao said: "Qianyang, are Xing'er okay?" ”

When she was in Beijing, Dong Xing'er didn't make any less fun of Yuan Shao, either joking with him or playing a little prank, as for nicknames, they were all commonplace. But when Yuan Shao was injured, it was Dong Xing'er who bandaged him, Yuan Shao was surrounded, and Dong Xing'er also anxiously followed Guo Bin to ventur forward. And Yuan Shao also regards Dong Xinger as a little sister, he is also happy with a little prank, and he is also moved by Dong Xinger's concern for him. Therefore, Yuan Shao's concern for Dong Xinger is also sincere.

Hearing this, Guo Bin's face turned gloomy, and he said: "That dagger is highly poisonous, if it weren't for Fan A who happened to be here, bleeding Xing'er to remove poison, and treating her with superb acupuncture skills, I am afraid that I would be worried about my life this time." Seeing Yuan Shao's sad face, Guo Bin said: "But it's okay now, Fan A gave Xing'er a needle, so that she can sleep peacefully while relieving her pain, and now she should still be asleep." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "It's all my fault for being careless, otherwise this wouldn't have happened." ”

When Guo Bin heard this, he sighed: "You and I are both chess pieces, what can I do?" But we can't just leave it at that. ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Qianyang, do you have any news?" ”

Guo Bin said: "There is no news, but I have a little inference, I don't know if it's true or not, and I still need to negotiate with Brother Benchu." ”

Yuan Shao said: "You and my brother, why do you need to do this? Whatever the speculation, though. Where I can give you ideas, my brother will definitely give you ideas, and will I blame you for not being able to? ”

Guo Bin said: "It's my brother who lost his word." ”

At that moment, he speculated with Yuan Shao one by one, only to surprise Yuan Shao so much that he almost couldn't sit still. I didn't expect him to come to Yangzhai this time, there was such an intricate entanglement of interests behind him, he was unconsciously in the center of the whirlpool of power struggles in the imperial court, once he made a mistake half a step, even if he was the third prince of the fourth world, the Yuan family, whose protégé was all over the world, could not protect him.

At the end of October of the sixth year of Guanghe, Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty identified Yang Zhai, and the road met the Taiping Road to assassinate. Taizu rushed to help.
