After thanking Yuan Shao again, Xu Chu returned to the house to see Xi Zhong and briefly explained the matter. Xi Zhong is also not very interested in Xu Chu's appointment as a 'Lujiang Taishou', so be it.

Lujiang belongs to the Yangzhou Thorn History Department, Yangzhou is a relatively remote and very large state for the Eastern Han Dynasty, because it is large, so the remoteness of Yangzhou is to be discussed separately. For example, Huiji County, which included the later Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, was very far away from Luoyang, which was located in Yin, Henan; But the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, which border the Yuzhou Thorn History Department, do not seem so far.

In Xi Zhong's eyes, Lujiang County is still okay, at least much better than Donglai County in Qingzhou and the counties and countries in Youzhou.

It seems that Xu Chu is not a useless person in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Xi Zhong sighed and said: "It's a pity that key counties such as Chen Liu, Yingchuan and so on, not only can't you get it with the status of the lord, but even if you get it, it's not easy to control. ”

Xu Chu nodded yes. Generally speaking, the farther away from Luoyang, the strength of the family will be slightly weaker, and it will not be like Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Runan, so that Xu Chu will walk on thin ice one step at a time.

However, to Xu Chu's great surprise, Xi Zhong was greatly excited about his feudal marquis.

Seeing that Xi Zhong was excited about being named 'Marquis of Zhaowu', Xu Chu felt very strange. Troubled times are coming, no matter how good the marquis sounds, what's the use?

Xi Zhong thinks it is very useful, and the effect may not be worse than that of a 'two thousand stones' Taishou. The fundamental reason for the contrast between Xu Chu and Xi Zhong's attitude towards the marquis is that Xu Chu is not familiar with history and does not respect it enough.

The two Han Dynasty valued military merits, and generally speaking, civil servants and military generals who did not make military merits could not be crowned marquis. And the matter of the feudal marquis, which can also be called one of the highest honors pursued by people with lofty ideals in the two Han Dynasty, can be more tempting than the honor of the feudal marquis to the heroes and heroes. But since they are all out of the picture, usually the marquis has already got it.

Xu Chu has to be named the county marquis, although Zhaowu County is far away in the border of Liangzhou, there is no economic income at all, but the honor is in hand, the gold seal and purple ribbon are in hand, and among those who are attached to Xu Chu's side, they are as big as their henchmen and military generals, and as small as the guards and patrol soldiers, which one will not be honored? From then on, when the world's heroes talked about Xu Chu, the first thing that jumped out of their minds was the three words 'Zhaowuhou', how could Xu Chu's fame not rise?

Xi Zhong said to Xu Chu earnestly: "The lord must pay attention to the matter of sealing the marquis, especially for Taifu Yuan Gong, Yuan Sili and others, or solemnly repair a book to express gratitude." ”

In addition, Xi Zhong also said that although the Marquis of Zhaowu actually did not have the income brought by the food estate, in the edict of the imperial court, it would be written how many households in the feudal city, and if the expectation was good, the county marquis should be at least above 1,000 households. According to the Han system, a marquis of more than 1,000 households can go to the court to place two retainers, one is a family servant and the other is a concubine.

Jiacheng and concubine are all positions in charge of family affairs, even if Xu Chu's Zhaowu Marquis actually has nothing to deal with with the retainers, he can still use these two positions to win people's hearts.

Xu Chu said convincingly: "Zhicai, I have been taught!" ”

Xu Chu, the candidate for the two retainers, was not in a hurry to decide, anyway, the golden seal of Zhaowu Marquis was in his hand, so he couldn't be too urgent.

According to the usual practice, Xu Chu is the marquis and worships the county, and he needs to meet the Son of Heaven. This matter was arranged by Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao sent someone to pass the word, and it would probably take a few days.

After knowing that he was going to Lujiang to serve as the Taishou, Xu Chu could be said to be like an arrow. But when it is time to be patient, you still have to be patient, and in two days he took this opportunity to take a good look at Luoyang City, which is antique in his eyes and magnificent in the eyes of the world; The second is to find old friends and make friends with Xi Zhong, hoping to get to know more famous scholars.

When I went to visit Xun Yu, it happened that a few friends of Xun Yu came to Xun Yu's house, and Xu Chu secretly said that he was lucky, and he saluted everyone under Xun Yu's recommendation.

There are three people in total, one of whom has many similarities with Xun Yu's appearance, he looks a few years older than Xun Yu, and he is the famous Xun Yu, Xun Gongda, who was the Huangmen squire at the time. The other two are Zhou Yu, whose name is Zhongyuan, and he is in the middle of the service; One is Zheng Tai, the word Gongye, who was recruited by the general He Jin to serve as a scholar and waiter, and now resigns from the official position.

Xun You was later known as the five masterminds of Cao Cao in the early stage, and Xu Chu knew some about it. The other two, he didn't know. But without exception, the three of them all praised Xu Chu's performance in the face of Dong Zhuo at the foot of the mountain, and they did not hesitate to praise him.

Xun You is a relatively introverted person, and his praise is mostly expressed in his expression, but he is not deliberate in his words. Although Zheng Tai is a scholar, like Chen Liutai and Zhao Qian, he is a very strong and direct person.

Zheng Tai looked at the uncles and nephews of the Xun family and Zhou Yu, and said: "Xu Taishou is not afraid of Dong thief**, the warrior of the country, but so. It's really Yuzhou Fuhu! ”

The one who is ambushed has the meaning of hiding. Zheng Tai is saying that Xu Chu is a hidden beast, and the previous sentence of 'warrior of the country' is praised, which means that after Xu Chu grows stronger, he will be a sharp weapon against Dong Zhuo.

Xu Chu looked at everyone's faces, and when Zheng Tai said the word 'Dong thief', no one was surprised or panicked, as if he was accustomed to this remark from Zheng Tai's mouth.

Xu Chu didn't know that Zheng Tai was now at home because He Jin, the general of Jinyan, said: "Dong Zhuo is cruel and tyrannical, and his ambition is endless. If the general relies on Dong Zhuo to participate in the government, disaster will not be far away. Of course, He Jin did not listen, so Zheng Tai abandoned the official and left.

Zheng Tai's insight and strength are reflected in this matter.

Xu Chuxin said: By offending Dong Zhuo, he indirectly made the scholars treat him more, and the effect is okay so far.

A few words of modesty, chatting with everyone for a while, and finally the topic returned to Xu Chu.

Because whether it is Xun Yu's Huangmen waiter or Zhou Yu's servant, they are all close servants of the Son of Heaven, and they will soon know that Xu Chu is going to be a marquis and worship Lujiang Taishou.

This time, the appointment was not as abrupt as the last time he visited Yingchuan, and from the words of several people present, Xu Chu clearly felt that they were happy to accept this matter.

Xun You said: "Dong Zhuo occupies the royal forest garden, and forcibly sends his Huangzhong Yicong and Qin Hu soldiers to garrison the palace, which is already a big tail for the imperial court, and it is difficult to curb its turbulence in the short term. Si Li sent Jun to Lujiang County and Bao Yuncheng to return to his hometown, although it was a last resort, it was still a response. ”

Xu Yu and they attributed Bao Xin's departure from Beijing and his return to his hometown, as well as Xu Chu's worship of Lu Jiang Taishou, to Yuan Shao's operation.

I am afraid that all the scholars in Luo have begun to notice this sign and think that Yuan Shao is playing a big game of chess.

But he heard Zhou Bi say: "What does Xu Jun think of Dong Zhuo?" ”

Xu Chu thought for a while and replied: "I thought that Dong Zhuo was extremely ambitious, or he would follow the story of Yi and Huo and enter the government. ”

The four people present were shocked.

Yi Yin and Huo Guang have a distinct commonality - the abolition of the Son of Heaven.

Xu Chu's words were amazing, not to 'grandstand', but to deepen the impression of Xun Yu and Xun You's two uncles and nephews on him. He has the credit, the foundation of the uprising, and now that Zhaowu Hou has it, he has some fame, and what he lacks is the sense of identity of the world's celebrities with him. If you want to completely change the views of Xun Yu, Xun Yu and other scholars on him, you have to show political wisdom far beyond ordinary martial artists. So he made a temporary decision and suddenly mentioned the possibility that Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish the Son of Heaven.

If nothing happens in this incident, Xu Chu, who has the vision of future generations, is very sure. Coincidentally, the timing of his proposal was also very good, just when Xun Yu, Xun You and other scholars only separated Dong Zhuo's inner thoughts from a layer of window paper.

Xun Yu and Xun Yu can be passed at one point.

Zhou Bi said: "Dong Zhongying is a foreign minister and a martial artist, and he has no prestige in the court, how can he do things like Yiyin and Huo Guang?" "Zhou Bi is from Liangzhou, and among the four people here, his opinion of Dong Zhuo is relatively mild.

Since Xu Chu has put forward his point of view, how could he not have a case in advance? Regarding Dong Zhuo's future actions, he had several discussions with Xi Zhong. Then he said: "It is precisely because Dong Zhuo is shallow in Luoji that he will make this judgment in the future." Besides, Dong Hou ......"

Xun You said coldly: "I heard someone say: Dong Zhuo mentioned several times that he was the ancestor of the late Empress Dowager...... I think Xu Jun's words are not untargeted. Moreover, the story of the Han family, the one who is the 'great general', has always been the uncle of the Son of Heaven. Hey, I only sigh that Taifu and Si Li have no intention of driving Dong, so things are like this! ”

Zhou Yu was silent, combined with the words of Xu Chu and Xun You, Dong Zhuo actually wanted to become a 'relative' by climbing relatives with the late Empress Dowager. In addition to climbing to the relatives of the Empress Dowager, another condition for him to become a relative is to change the position of Dong Hou as emperor.

Dong Hou Liu Xie, who grew up with the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and the Dong family has long been regarded as his foreign family by Liu Xie. And because of the abolition of the Son of Heaven, Dong Zhuo can be a means to declare his political strength, so the whole thing is surprisingly logical.

The matter of abolishing the establishment should not be talked about much, and it is extremely bold to talk about it at this point.

Xun Yu did as Xu Chu thought, sighed deeply, frowned and closed his eyes, and made a contemplative appearance. Xun Yu was amazed by Xu Chu's vision, and he actually caught up with and surpassed these 'celebrities', and sighed that the Son of Heaven in the palace had just experienced a bloody coup, or in the near future, there would be another big ups and downs.

There was nothing to talk about, and everyone got up and said goodbye to Xun Yu.

Leaving Xun Yu's mansion, Xu Chu returned to the Taifu mansion, Yuan Shao came with accurate news, and the morning after tomorrow, Xu Chu entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven.
