Chapter 191: Xu Shu Studies

Dong Li's trip is not as arduous as the task when he went to Jizhou earlier.

Horse armor, armor bags are hung on another warhorse. Previously, Ma Song and others escorted Dian Wei's family to Luoyang and brought a batch of war horses. This also made the horses under Dong Li's command suddenly a lot more, and the three hundred trolls were all riding in one person.

Dong Li only wore a black shirt with soft armor underneath.

The elephant dragon also runs very briskly. Without the weight of armor and weapons, the dragon was very fast, and it was in a state of leading all the way, looking extremely happy. If you count the age, the elephant dragon is over fifteen years old.

It is in the best of its best!

But Dong Li knew that in a few years, Xianglong's state would show a downward trend.

Prosperity must fall, not only for people, but also for horses.

Therefore, Dong Li also cherishes the time with Xianglong very much. One day, the elephant dragon couldn't run, so he sent it to Zhangye. It originally came from the Western Regions, and the fallen leaves returned to their roots, so it should naturally end up in the Western Regions. And for now, let it run merrily......

After leaving Luoyang, the group hurried almost non-stop.

Almost on the third day, after passing Xingyang, Dong Li and others caught up with Cheng Li and Shi Tao, who had set off in advance.

The two armies converged, rested for a while, and hurried again.

Originally, Shi Tao was still a little worried. After all, Cheng Li is not Dong Li, and it is not certain whether Yingyin can suppress the local government. And the appearance of Dong Li made his heart, which had been hanging in his throat for many days, suddenly put back in his stomach.

After all, he didn't want to see Cheng Li engage in a head-on confrontation with the local government.

In this way, Dong Li and his entourage marched towards Yingyin day and night. Along the way, Dong Li unexpectedly found that Shi Tao was very proficient in political affairs, especially his views on the law and the rule of officials, and he also had a unique place. Don't look at Shi Tao's broken mouth, but when he speaks, he is very coherent, and what words come to his mouth, it makes sense to ignore them.

Dong Li couldn't help but ask: "Guangyuan is so talented, why doesn't he serve the imperial court?" ”

Shi Tao smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to serve the imperial court, but I don't have a way." Like Yuan Zhi, I was born in the Han family, and I was unwilling to serve the Wang family, so I was not recommended. And I don't think I'm good enough to take on the big job. originally planned to travel and find a famous teacher to study, but he didn't think about it, but Yuan Zhi had this kind of thing. ”

"Then what are Guangyuan's plans for in the future?"

Shi Tao thought for a while, "I have the same sibling relationship with Yuan Zhi, if Yuan Zhi is fine, I will go out to find a famous teacher to study; But if the meta is straight...... I will support my aunt for the rest of my life, and if it is possible then, I will travel again. ”

These words made Dong Li and others look at Shi Tao with admiration.

Pang De couldn't help but say: "Guangyuan is really a noble person, better than many vain scholars, I admire it." ”

Dong Li also sighed.

Shi Tao has no reputation, but he can have this affection, which can really shame countless celebrities in the world.

I have also stayed in Luoyang for many years, and my views on scholars have changed from fear and admiration at the beginning to contempt later.

And not without reason.

In the second year of Dong Li's entry into Luoyang, that is, in the third year of Zhongping, an incident happened that was spread by the people of Luoyang. Of course, that incident had nothing to do with Dong Li, and he was just watching the excitement on the side at that time.

One side of the matter involved the Yuan family.

Yuan Kui has a daughter under his knees, named Yuan Yi, when he was in the third year of Zhongping, Fang Shuang was in his prime. At that time, there was Huang Yun, a famous man in Luoyang, who was knowledgeable and famous. Yuan Kui was also quite satisfied with this person and wanted to marry his daughter to this celebrity scholar.

But there is a problem, this Huang Yun has already married, and he is still after the Wang family of Chen Liu, Yuzhou.

His wife's surname is Xiahou...... seems to be a little related to Cao Cao. Cao Cao once said that the Xiahou clan was her niece in terms of seniority.

Very talented, and extremely virtuous, and beautiful.

Since marrying Huang Yun, she has always adhered to women's morals and respected the women's commandments, and many people will praise her again and again when they mention her.

I don't want that Huang Yun to take a leave of absence from the Xiahou clan immediately after learning about Yuan Kui's intentions. In his opinion, the future of attaching to the Yuan family is far greater than the support of the Xiahou clan. No matter how the Xiahou clan cried and persuaded him, this Huang Yun was determined to do this.

Dong Li heard about this at the time, and he couldn't wait to go over and pull off Huang Yun's head.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was there at the time and stopped Dong Li. sneered: "Xiping don't have to worry, my niece has the means." ”

Sure enough, a few days later, news came that the Xiahou clan actually agreed with Huang Yun's meaning.

However, there is one condition, that is, Huang Yun is to gather relatives and friends and explain in person. Huang Yun didn't think too much about it, so he invited a lot of people to come. During the banquet, Xiahou suddenly became troubled, told Huang Yun the reason why he wanted to leave her, and also told many things about Huang Yun. The most serious point is that Huang Yun plagiarized her article after marrying her.

At that time, there was an uproar, Dong Li and Cao Cao were also there, and they couldn't help but applaud loudly.

Xiahou also cited evidence, which made Huang Yun angry and drew his sword on the spot. Cao Cao kicked over Huang Yun in the past, and was pressed to the ground by Dong Yan and beaten violently. Then Xiahou showed that he had no connection with Huang Yun, and when he left Luoyang afterwards, Dong Li and Cao Cao also went to see each other off. Sometimes I think about it, such a beautiful girl, why did Huang Yun get into the water in her head?

Huang Yun's reputation in Luoyang was completely stinky, and he has been missing since then.

After this incident, Dong Li was quite disdainful of the face of celebrities.

Now after listening to Shi Tao's words, I couldn't help but say: "Everyone says that etiquette is righteous and shameful, and there are countless people who have false appearances with courtesy, righteousness and shame in their mouths. But if compared with Guangyuan, these people ...... It's outrageous. Guangyuan, I really don't hide it from you, I was originally quite prejudiced against scholars, but listening to Guangyuan's words today, I knew that there are really famous people in this world. ”

Shi Tao couldn't help but be polite.

Along the way, I talked about a lot of topics with Dong Li.

Most of the time, Dong Li can only listen, only occasionally saying a few words, but most of them are on Shi Tao's heart.

An immature thought formed in Dong Li's mind.

has entered Yingchuan County, Dong Yan finally couldn't help but say: "Guangyuan, I have a law, and I can't make all the cold people in the world enter the court." ”

Shi Tao couldn't help but become interested, "Dare to ask, what is the method?" ”

"Imperial Examination!"

Dong Yan is honestly not very familiar with the imperial examination system. Most of his previous life was spent in the mountains and forests, and the imperial examination system had been abolished at that time. Dong Yan also learned about it from some books and the mouths of the old man.

Shi Tao said suspiciously: "But I don't know what this imperial examination is?" ”

Dong Li told him about the imperial examination system he knew at the moment, but he didn't want Shi Tao to hear it.

"If this method can be practiced, then the poor people in the world will have a way out......"

Dong Li smiled: "I'm just talking nonsense, but in terms of specific operation, I'm afraid there are still many problems to solve." ”

"What's the matter? Just follow the general's ideas and improve it! ”

Shi Tao replied thoughtfully. It's not that Shi Tao, or the ancients were stupid. Sometimes that's it, blind. It is only when all things develop to a point where they must change that new things naturally arise. The same is true of the imperial examination, which was developed by Emperor Wen of Sui in history and then perfected in the Tang Dynasty.

Dong Li didn't know what kind of turn he would bring to this era when he put forward such a concept.

But one thing he knew was that it would be unimaginably difficult to implement this plan. I'm afraid that the first ones who will jump out against it are those wealthy families. After all, this imperial examination cut off their dominant position in officialdom.

But Shi Tao didn't think about this, and the words along the way suddenly became less.

It can be seen that Dong Li's idea touched his heartstrings. Presumably, for a long time, he will be distressed by this.

******

On this day, I finally entered Yingyin.

This is not the first time he has come here, but the previous two times, once because he was forced to leave because he offended the Xun family, and the other time, he passed by here because of the war.

Regarding Xu Shu's situation, he already understood.

The most difficult part of this matter is in the county lieutenant of Yingyin. The person Xu Shu killed was named Kou Xian, and the county lieutenant of Yingyin was named Kou Meng. Obviously, there is a connection between the two. And Yingchuan has always been a famous family, and this Kou clan is in Yingyin, and it is also a big family with a history of hundreds of years. The most famous of his clan is one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai who made great contributions during the rise of Guangwu, Kou Sui.

However, the Kou clan in Kou Rong, Kou Xun's great-grandson, has declined from time to time, and has lost its former prosperity.

After Dong Yan entered Yingyin, he directly found the mansion of Yingchuan Taishou. After staying in Luoyang for a long time, he also understood a truth. The so-called crushing of people at the level of officials and universities is not nonsense. What's more, there are many famous people in Yingchuan, how can people who can be too guarded by Yingchuan, how can they be easy to match? After making sense of Yingchuan Taishou, Kou Meng is not worried.

Let Shi Tao and Cheng Li go straight to Xu Shu's house with a hundred trolls, and Dong Li came to the yamen of Yingchuan Taishou Mansion with the festival.

"Through your family, it will be said that there is a general of the Luoyang Tiger Benzhonglang, and the Marquis of the Anning Pavilion Dong Li, who is ordered to do things."

Wu Anguo urged the horse to the front of the steps of the government and shouted loudly on the horse.

The public at the gate of the government is also a well-informed person, and it can be seen at a glance that these people are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Hurriedly saluted respectfully, "Please wait, sir." ”

Since I went to report to Yingchuan Taishou in a panic, after a while, I saw a middle-aged official walk out of the mansion.

"Yingchuan guards Chen Qin, meet the Marquis of Anning Pavilion!"

In terms of rank, Yingchuan Taishou's position is slightly higher than that of Tiger Ben Zhonglang, but Yulu is the same. One is a local magistrate, and the other is a cronie of the emperor's side, which can be said to be half a catty. But Dong Li still has the title of Marquis of Anning Pavilion, so it's different. Chen Qin is also from a famous family, how could he not know the name of this Dong Xiping's tiger and wolf general?

People respect me, I respect people!

This is Dong Li's creed.

Chen Qin was very face-saving, and he also reciprocated by getting off the horse.

As soon as he got down, the attendants and trolls behind him could no longer sit on horseback.

Hurriedly jumped off the warhorse. The neat and one-person action did not make a sound at all, which made Chen Qin secretly frightened.

It is worthy of Dong Xiping, who can behead the general in the Yongqiu Rebellion!

Dong Li went over and saluted respectfully: "Lord Chen, Dong Li passed through the holy land this time, and he took the liberty of visiting, please don't blame me." ”

While speaking, Dong Li took a closer look at Chen Qin and found that this Chen Qin was quite familiar.

Chen Qin also saw the question in Dong Li's eyes, "Do you think your adult is familiar with it below?" ”

Dong Li smiled awkwardly and nodded yes.

Chen Qin smiled: "I have a lot of similarities with my brother of the same clan...... Oh, my brother, he often mentions the name of the adult. ”

"Your brother?"

"Chen Qun, Chen Changwen, presumably Anning Pavilion Marquis is no stranger."

"Ah, I remember......"

Don't say it, I don't think I think about it, Dong Li remembered it. This Chen Qin's appearance is really similar to Chen Qun.

"There are many people here, why don't you enter the palace with the Marquis of Anning Pavilion?"

Dong Li hurriedly said: "Vulgar people, don't dare to stay in the holy land. Dong Yan came today because he was on business. His Majesty ordered Dong Li to form a new army and go to Danyang to recruit troops. Passing through this place, the characteristics of the Lord to rule a person for my festival from the tiger Ben. ”

As he spoke, Dong Yan waved his hand, and Wu Anguo immediately sent a letter from General Huben Zhonglang.

How could Chen Qin not know about the movement of Luoyang City. The turmoil in this court is closely related to the interests of the clans in various places.

A few days ago, a courtier suddenly attacked, saying that Dong Xiping was a general in the tiger and that he was not suitable to serve as the captain of the North Palace.

The spearhead was directed at Dong Li, but he didn't want Dong Li to be absent from Luoyang, so he didn't accept it at all.

On the contrary, Emperor Han said: "Dong Qing has automatically resigned from the post of captain of Beigong, and I have decided that Dian Wei, the former lieutenant of the military academy, will assume it." The original post of military academy lieutenant was concurrently served by He Miao, a general of the chariot and cavalry. Dong Qing has also left Beijing and went to Danyang to recruit troops. ”

Everyone knows that He Miao and the general He Jin are not all the way, and they are very close to the Ten Standing Attendants.

But they are brothers, and He Jin is also very satisfied with this. Either way, the two of them are family.

Therefore, Chen Qin also heard about Dong Li's recruitment, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask who the general wants to recruit?" ”

In Chen Qin's mind, Dong Yan wanted to conquer, and naturally he was a famous man who conquered Yingchuan. If you want to conquer, I will cooperate. As for whether people are willing to go with you, that's another story. You must know that this gentleman's temper is very strange, and Dong Li's reputation is not too good, so no one may agree. In his selfish heart, Chen Qin really wanted to see Dong Li deflated.

"This person's name is Xu Shu, the table character is straight, and he is from Yingyin County."

Chen Qin was stunned: Xu Shu, who is Xu Shu?

A duke knew about Xu Shu's affairs, and hurriedly whispered in Chen Qin's ear. Chen Qin's face changed several times, and he secretly screamed that it was not good.

"Anning Pavilion Marquis, please come with me!"

At that moment, he ordered someone to prepare a horse and hurriedly walked to the northwest of the county with Dong Li. Out of the county seat, all the way to the hurried, after a while to the Yingshui River.

This was originally the place where Ying Yin executed prisoners.

That Ko Meng is Kou Xian's uncle, and in the face of the murderer of his nephew, he naturally refuses to let go.

has reported to the government and decided to behead Xu Shu on the bank of Yingshui today.

When Dong Li heard this, he immediately became anxious. The urging rushed towards the Yingshui school field like a dragon's gallop. Pang De and Wu Anguo took four hundred trolls and galloped away, waving dust and smoke in the sky, choking Chen Qin with a cough.

"My lord, shall we chase after us?"

Chen Qin smiled: "What are you doing chasing after you?" Now that most of the families in Yingchuan hate the Dong family, wouldn't we help him? Let him go by himself, whether he can save that Xu Shu depends on his ability. Something happened, and it has nothing to do with us...... If he makes a big fuss, it will be great to unite all the families and go to Luoyang to impeach him. ”

At that moment, the group slowly walked towards the school field.

******

Xu Shu knelt on the bank of the Yingshui River, looking at the rolling Yinghe River, but his expression was extremely peaceful.

Behind him, an executioner stood solemnly with a sword in his hand. Komon, on the other hand, sat under the reeds, and waited for three o'clock in the afternoon to come, and then began to cut him.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

I only heard a shout: "Leave people under the knife!" ”

Komon looked up, but saw a horse in the lead, galloping towards him. Behind him, hundreds of war horses galloped, and smoke and dust rolled.

Dong Li rushed into the school field and shouted: "A certain is an Anning Pavilion Marquis, Hu Ben Zhonglang will Dong Li, and he will be ordered to recruit Xu Shu for my festival from Hu Ben...... Where is Xu Shu? ”

Xu Shu was already in despair, but when he heard the familiar and unfamiliar voice, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Kou Meng rushed out and said loudly: "Xu Shu is a murderer, and he has already confessed, how can the imperial court requisition?" ”

Dong Li's eyes widened: "Are you teaching me how to do things?" The affairs of the imperial court, how can you be managed by a sesame-sized Ying Yin Order? Where are the trolls, and still untie the leash? Take Xu Shu back to Yingyin? ”

As he spoke, Dong Li urged the horse to walk towards Xu Shu.

Kou Meng stopped again, "Anning Tinghou, I know you are powerful, but this is Yingyin, not Yongqiu." Xu Shu killed people in the street, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes. If not, where is the majesty of the law of the Han Dynasty? How can the emperor recruit a murderer, it must be you who falsely passed on the holy decree and intended to rescue the murderer. Where is the knife and axe hand, and Xu Shu was executed immediately, and I will take care of this matter. ”

Dong Li's eyes narrowed, "Who dares to kill?" ”

The reputation of the tiger and wolf general is known to everyone in the world. At the beginning, Dong Li was in Yingchuan and set up a great killing power. The knife and axe hand had also heard of Dong Li's name, and after being roared like thunder, his hand was so weak that he almost couldn't hold the big knife.

"Lord Kou, I might as well make it clear today. People, I must take it away, the one who dares to stop me, stand up and try it? ”

At this time, Wu Anguo entered the school field with the festival, and the talisman of the tiger was particularly eye-catching.

Pang De urged the horse to Xu Shu's side, jumped off the horse and pushed away the executioner, drew his sword and cut the rope on Xu Shu's body, and ordered someone to lead a horse and help Xu Shu get on the horse. At this time, Komon also understood that if he wanted to stop it, he was afraid that he couldn't.

Dong Li glanced at Kou Meng coldly, his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.

Kou Meng watched Dong Li forcibly take Xu Shu away, but he didn't have the slightest idea. At this time, Chen Qin came to the school. Seeing this, a strange expression appeared on his face. But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared and greeted it with a smile.

"An Ning Tinghou, can things be done?"

"Exactly!"

"Why don't you rest for one night in Yingyin and let Rong Qin hold a banquet to entertain?"

Dong Yan doesn't like this Chen Qin, he looks similar to Chen Qun, but the temperament he reveals has a very uncomfortable feeling.

He refused at the moment: "Master Chen doesn't have to be polite. I was ordered to recruit troops, and I had to hurry. Say goodbye to your lords, and if you go to Luoyang in the future, you will definitely hold a banquet to entertain you. ”

After speaking, he ignored Chen Qin and galloped away with people.

Kou Meng gritted his teeth and walked in front of Chen Tan: "My lord, is it difficult to let him go like this?" ”

Chen Qin sneered, "Tang Zheng, if that's not the case, what else do you want?" That Dong Jiazi can rush back and forth in an army of tens of thousands of people, and now he has a trilogy, even if he gathers my entire Yingyin, he can't stop him. Besides, he recruits troops on a festival basis, and whoever stops him will be tantamount to rebellion. The emperor passed through Yongqiu, and he had a lot of scruples about my clan. If it reaches the imperial court, you and I will definitely be unlucky. Tang Zheng, today's plan, when forbearance and forbearance are. ”

Koumon paused, "But how long will this last?" Could it be that you can watch this group of contemptible men ride on our heads? ”

"It won't be long...... I believe that Taifu has already made up his mind. ”

After Chen Qin finished speaking, he let out a sigh, "Tang Zheng, you and I can only secretly accumulate strength now, if you can bear it, just bear it." ”

******

Dong Yan didn't know anything about the conversation between Kou Meng and Chen Qin.

He took Xu Shu to the outside of Yingyin County, and after a while, he saw Cheng Li leading people to drive the carriage and horses, and came to meet.

After a few years, Xu's mother looks a lot older.

When he saw Xu Shu, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears. Xu Shu jumped off the horse and staggered down in front of the car.

"Mother, the child is unfilial, and the mother is frightened!"

Shi Guangyuan helped Xu's mother get out of the car and helped Xu Shu up.

Look left, look right. But seeing that Xu Shu's prison clothes were stained with blood, his body was even more scarred. The pain in his heart was extreme, and he hugged Xu Shu in his arms.

"Son, my mother didn't let you learn swords back then, because she was afraid that something like this would happen to you. Didn't expect ......"

"The child is wrong, the child is wrong!"

Xu Shu was also remorseful and blamed himself.

Cheng Li walked to Dong Li's side and said softly: "Lord, when we went out of the city just now, we found that someone was following us. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

Cheng Li shook his head, "I don't know, the last general was in a hurry to take his aunt out of the city at that time, so he didn't care." It's not as good as our ......"

Dong Li waved his hand to stop: "More things are better than less, this is Yingchuan." We forcibly took Xu Shu away, which has already made many people dissatisfied. If you get into trouble again, I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the Yingchuan scholars. Get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa!"

Cheng Li went to command the people, and Dong Yan jumped off the horse and walked in front of Xu's mother.

Mother Xu raised her head and pulled Xu Shu Yingying to bow, "There is a ...... of Lao Gongzi"

Over there, Shi Tao opened his mouth and said: "Auntie, the general is now the Marquis of Anning Pavilion, and the general of Tiger Ben Zhonglang, but he can't be called a son." ”

Dong Yan couldn't help laughing, "Guangyuan's words are over. I have known my aunt for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to call me by name...... Auntie, let's not say polite words. When I met Yuan Zhi, I was just white. Today's reunion, regardless of our official position, it is a matter of officialdom. I was a brother to Yuan Zhi back then, and I am still a brother today. Be a brother for a day, and be a brother for the rest of your life...... Hehe, if my brother is in trouble, how can Dong Xiping stand by and watch? ”

The old lady was very excited.

In the early years, Dong Li crisscrossed Yingchuan and killed anti-thieves, and the old lady's impression of Dong Li was quite good.

Today, it is only for the promise of the year, and he has come thousands of miles to save people. How can the old lady turn a blind eye to this affection?

Dong Li said: "Auntie, this place is not very safe, I will talk about it in detail when I leave here...... Guangyuan, what do you do? ”

Shi Tao smiled: "My parents died many years ago, and now I am the only one left in the family. Now that Yuan Zhi is out of danger, I should also go to find my dream. I want to leave tomorrow and travel the world to find famous teachers to study. ”

Dong Li had an idea, "Guangyuan, if you want to study, I can make some introductions for you." You also know who my father-in-law is, I can write a letter and ask him to accept you as a student, do you think this arrangement? ”

Shi Tao was overjoyed at first, but then shook his head again.

"The general is kind, Guangyuan is in his heart. Cai is admired by the world's scholars, and Guangyuan can get Mr. Bo Jiao as a teacher, but he can't ask for it. But the sun ...... It's too chaotic. I don't want to go to a place for profit, not a place for learning. ”

Dong Li thought for a while, "I have one more person to introduce you...... Xiangyang celebrity Pang Degong also fought side by side with me back then. If you wish to study under him, I can also write a letter...... Well, this trip to Danyang, simply go to Xiangyang. ”

"But that Lumen Mountain celebrity, Pang Degong?"

Shi Tao was taken aback, and said in his heart: It is said that this General Dong is vulgar, but he knows many famous people. The things I talked to him about along the way were also quite speculative, especially the imperial examination system...... If you can go all the way, you can also ask for more advice.

"If I can be taught by Pang Gong, it is really Tao's luck!"

At this time, Xu Shu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Brother Yu, I also want to study from a famous teacher, I don't know if I can recommend you?" ”

"Learn the sword? Pang Gong is not good at this. ”

How do you know that Xu Shu shook his head again and again, "Learning a sword can only be an enemy for one person, and after this difficulty, I wake up like a dream, and I am willing to learn from those ten thousand enemies." ”
