Gu Yu City was built in the Huangwu period of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, named after Gu Xiao Creek, east of Bai Xuan Mountain, west of the Yangtze River, is the gateway of Jiankang, controlled Gu Xiao, Jiankang is the portal is wide open.

Emperor Jin Yuan when the general of Zhendong Wang Dun rebelled in the name of "Qing Jun side", invaded Jiankang, killed dissidents and returned to Wuchang, after Emperor Ming of Jin ascended the throne, he was forced to edict Wang Dun to enter the auxiliary government of the dynasty, Wang Dun moved from Wuchang to the town of Gu, led Yangzhou herd, remote system Jiankang, if it were not for Wang Dun's old illness and inability, Jin Zuo has ended.

Huan Wen Su Mu Wang Dun, over the tomb of Wang Dun, called it Ke'er, Ke'er, the wishful person also, Huan Wen so admired a traitor, his heart can be known, and in the Shengping period of the law Wang Dun, in the name of the Northern Expedition, moved from Jingzhou to the town of Gu, its usurpation heart, can be said to be known to passers-by, the Jin royal family and Wang Xie family on the one hand to rely on Huan Wen to fight against the north of Fu Qin and Mu Rongyan, on the other hand, they are worried about their usurpation, but there is no strong means to balance Huan Wen, only to watch Huan Wen sit big-

Huan Wen is also similar to Wang Dun, Wang Dun married Princess Xiangcheng, the daughter of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, and Huan Wen's wife was Princess Nankang, the daughter of Emperor Ming of Jin.

At noon on April 24, Chen Caozhi and Xie Xuan, Wang Tan and dozens of people bypassed Hengshan, not far away, the sub-city in the north of the city of Gu Xiao was in sight, the city of Gu Zi was built when Huan Wen moved to the town of Gu Yu three years ago, mainly used to garrison soldiers, the sergeants patrolling outside the city saw Xie Xuan, they were all respectful and respectful, these soldiers did not pay much attention to the handsome Chen Caozhi, but they were surprised to look at Ran Sheng riding a white horse, like Ran Sheng, such a majestic man is in this tens of thousands of soldiers is also extremely rare

Xie Xuan smiled at Chen Caozhi: "Zizhong, Gu is a city of men, advocating martial arts, not as good as Jiankang, no one here throws fruits and flowers to you." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Youdu made fun of me, in terms of hardship and hard work, I will not lose to anyone, please wait and see." ”

A group of people bypassed the sub-city, when they arrived at the north gate of Guxiao, they saw the city gate wide open, galloped out of more than 100 horses, the general of Zhenxi Huan Wen led the civil and military subordinates to meet the imperial envoy Wang Tanzhi, Huan Wen has been Xie Xuan Express, knowing that the imperial court issued an edict to add him as a servant, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the record of Shang Shushi, and the fake Huang Yue, so he went out of the city to greet him.

Chen Caozhi finally met the heroic Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Liu Kun's family Huan Wen was compared with Liu Kun, "the face is very similar, and the hatred is thin; The eyes are very similar, and the hatred is small; It must be very similar, and hate the red; The shape is very similar, and the hatred is short; The voice is very similar, and I hate the female. "It's really a bit slanderous, Huan Wen is more than seven feet tall, bold and graceful, purple eyes and hedgehog hair, the face has seven stars, the posture is very great, the so-called face has seven stars, that is, Huan Wen has seven black moles on his face, arranged in the Big Dipper, the phase thinks that this is a very expensive appearance, and Pei Guo, who is famous for his knowledge, said: "Wen eyes are like purple stone ridges, and he must be obscene, Sun Zhongmou, Jin Xuanwang and his own Yaye." Huan Wen was compared to Sun Quan and Sima Yi, and he was very highly evaluated.

When Huan Wen was fifteen years old, his father Huan Yi was killed by Su Jun's general Han Huang in Su Jun's rebellion, Han Huang was ambushed, and Jiang Bo, the county commander of Jing County, had participated in the planning, but he was safe and sound, Huan Wen wept blood, swore to avenge his father, three years later, Jiang Bo died, Huan Wen carried a dagger blade, in the name of condolence, rushed into the mourning hall, and killed Jiang Bo's son Jiang Biao and other six people, and made a commotion for a while-

Huan Wen is fifty-one years old this year, has no fat, is as vigorous as a teenager, has purple eyes like electricity, and is not angry and arrogant, such a person, anyone who sees it for the first time will be afraid, and Chen Caozhi is no exception. When Huan Wen saw Chen Caozhi, he looked up and down, silent, ordinary people were so looked at him twice, they were already worried in their hearts, and their foreheads were sweating, Chen Caozhi calmly said: "Qian Tang Chen Caozhi greeted Huan Jungong." ”

Huan Wennai suddenly laughed and said: "When I heard the name of Jiang Zuo Weiji, I thought that Chen Caozhi was as weak as Wei Shubao, but Chen Caozhi could ride a horse, handsome and vigorous, Wei Shubao was not as good." So Wang Tanzhi and Chen Caozhi were introduced to the military elites, Zhou Chu, Yuan Qiao, Yuan Hong, Luo Han, Hao Long were all there, as well as Huan Wen's eldest son Huan Xi and the third son Xingxin.

Huan Wen saw that Ran Sheng, who followed Chen Caozhi, was very majestic, so he asked who it was? Chen Caozhi said: "It's my Chen clan, my surname is Ran Mingsheng, and I am sixteen years old this year. ”

Huan Wen said suddenly: "Guest Xi mentioned this Ran Sheng to me, and he is a fierce general. "Immediately ordered the march Sima to appoint Ran Sheng as the captain, the Eastern Jin Dynasty military system, five people and one army, the commander is the leader of the five soldiers, is the lowest military rank.

Ran Sheng refused to be the captain of the army, the reason was that he didn't want to leave Cao Zhi Xiaolangjun.

Huan Wen laughed and said, "This is a piece of jade, it still needs to be sharpened." ”

A group of people entered the city, came to the general's mansion, Wang Tanzhi's decree, and on behalf of the emperor gave Huan Wen a fake Huang Yue, Huan Wen thanked him, and then held a banquet to invite Wang Tanzhi and Chen Caozhi.

After three rounds of drinking, Hao Long got up and said to Chen Caodao: "Chen Peng, you are now a member of the Xixi Military Government, and since you are a member of the staff of Huan Da Sima, you must know the customs of the military government——"

Chen Caozhi's brows furrowed slightly, Xie Xuan didn't say anything to him, and immediately arched his hand and said: "When I first came to Cao, I have to ask Hao to join the army for more advice." ”

Hao Long said: "Entering the military government, it is not better than those who say that there is no matter what they have, talk about empty and mysterious, they must have pragmatic talents to learn, and the staff of the Chuxi Mansion must answer three questions, these three questions are not related to Confucianism and Taoism, they only test knowledge and current affairs——"

Xie Xuan was secretly angry, the madman Hao Long wanted to give Zi Zhong a dismissal, how could there be such a convention when he entered the West Mansion, he didn't have such a thing when he came to Gu last year, he obviously bullied Zizhong's family is not obvious, Zizhong is proficient in Confucianism, but such a difficult question about current affairs is only afraid that he will not be able to deal with it in a hurry, so he immediately looked at Huan Wen, hoping that Huan Da Sima would stop Jin Linglong-

Huan Wen raised his glass and smiled, thinking: "Xi guests respect this Chen Caozhi, known as Zhang Liang of Han Gaozu and Xun Yu of Emperor Wu of Wei, I really don't believe it, let Hao Georgie take the exam today to see if he has real talent and learning, Chen Caozhi is not a famous child, and he can't just rely on boasting and talking about entering our military government." Seeing Xie Xuan looking at him, he nodded.

Xie Xuan knew that Huan Wen also intended to take the school entrance examination for Chen Caozhi, so he immediately sat quietly and listened, a little worried about Chen Caozhi, if he was frustrated as soon as he entered the military government, he would be despised by Huan Wen, and Chen Caozhi's future in Xifu was worried.

Chen Caozhi saw everyone's faces, and knew that it was Hao Long's apocryphal practice to answer questions when he entered Xifu, but since Hao Long said so, Huan Wen also acquiesced, he had no choice but to fight, a madman like Hao Long, he must find a way to frustrate, if so, he will be struggling in Xifu in the future, and immediately said unhurriedly: "I heard that on July 7 of previous years, Hao joined the army under the hot sun, saying that it was a book in the abdomen, but there is such a thing?" ”

Jin customs, July 7 each family will move the cloth and silk brocade and other fabrics out of the outdoors to dry, Hao Long's family is poor, there is no clothes to dry, so he is frank in the middle of the day, people ask why? He replied, "I'll dry books." ”

Chen Caozhi knew that Hao Long's words and deeds were imitation of Ruan Xian, Ruan Xian was the nephew of Ruan Xian, the seven sages of the bamboo forest, who was relatively poor in the family, living in Daonan, and all Ruan in Daobei were rich. ”

In Chen Caozhi's view, Ruan Xian is a real celebrity and a man of magnanimity, Ren Dan and humor, while Hao Long is obviously pretentious and a means to gain fame and reputation.

Hao Long was complacent about his elegant words and deeds back then, and said: "There are no clothes to dry, talk about Fuer'er." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled slightly, looked at Hao Long's middle-aged belly, and said: "Hao joining the army is really pitiful, not only has no clothes to dry, but he is also small in reading, and he can hold a few books in one belly!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and someone laughed casually, Xie Xuan also laughed, and said in his heart: "Wonderful, this madman should be so frustrated." Huan Wen thought to himself: "In the past, Xi guests praised Chen Caozhi, there are a few people who don't think so, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in Guyi, this Chen Caozhi seems to be going to take Hao George to establish his authority, although Hao George is arrogant, but he is not an unlearned person, very good, this question is wonderful." ”

I saw Hao Long's face purple and said angrily: "A few volumes of belly, ten thousand books are also a belly, you know that I don't read much!" ”

Chen Caozhi is very sure of this, Hao Long definitely does not have as many books as he has read, and he is a man in two lives, so he still has this confidence, and said with a smile: "In this way, it is necessary to understand." ”

Hao Long said angrily: "Okay, I'll ask you the trilemma first, and then you ask me the trilemma, see who reads less!" ”

Chen Caozhi said gently: "Please Hao join the army to solve the question." ”

Hao Long knew that Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai were going to come to his aunt, and he had already thought about three problems, originally wanted to test Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai, but now only one of Chen Cao came, and he made fun of him in public, which was really annoying, and immediately said loudly: "In the past, Meng Weijun was good at raising soldiers, with three thousand guests, and now Huan County Gonglixian Corporal, the world's talents are returning, Xifu can be described as full of talents, please Chen Peng try to discuss the superiority of Huan Jungong and Meng Weijun." ”

Hao Long's topic is more tricky and insidious, if Chen Caozhi's praise and Wen depreciate Meng Weijun, it is a face, and it will be despised by those so-called Gaoshi, and it is naturally not good to degrade Huan Wen, with these constraints, Chen Caozhi will be difficult to discuss, and it will be a cliché to discuss, so it will be difficult for Chen Caozhi's first question to satisfy Huan Wen and everyone.

Chen Caozhi shook his head and said, "How can Meng Weijun and Huanjun Gong be compared——"

Hao Long said: "Meng Weijun is one of the four princes of the Warring States, the prime minister of Qi, and what needs to be discussed is love and talent, how can it not be compared!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Hao joins the army and knows that the rooster is singing ** thief?

Hao Long sneered: "Don't you know, Meng Weijun escaped from the Qin State and returned to the Qi State by virtue of the rooster cry, which is exactly what he used to raise a soldier." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The world says that Meng Weijun can win the scholar, and the scholar returns to him, and he relies on his strength to get rid of the Qin of the tiger and leopard." I thought it was otherwise, how could it be enough to say that the male ears of Meng Weijun's special rooster crow** thief? Otherwise, if you are good at Qi and strong, you will have a gentleman, and you should be able to control Qin in the south, why not take the power of the rooster and the thief? The husband and the rooster are out of the door, and the reason why this soldier is not here is that Hao joins the army and compares Huan Jungong with Meng Weijun, is it also ridiculous? ”

As soon as this theory came out, everyone was shocked, Hao Long's face turned the color of sheep's liver, and he was speechless.
