Chapter 383 Recruiting Dong Fu
Yizhou has a genius spirit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This sentence is a proverb that Dong Fu heard a few years ago, and Dong Fu himself doubts it honestly, after all, proverbs are all true and false, and Dong Fu, as one of the most famous scholars in the Han Dynasty today, naturally will not casually make a conclusion about the coffin, so Dong Fu naturally put this proverb aside.
But when Dong Fu heard the news of Liu Xin, he was full of interest in Liu Xin, but Dong Fu didn't remember this proverb at that time, after all, Liu Xin was an "overseas Chinese" who returned from the Western Regions, just passing through Yizhou.
But as time went by, until yesterday when Dong Fu saw Liu Xin in the palace, Dong Fu suddenly remembered this proverb - Yizhou has a genius, after all, Liu Xin's bearing made Dong Fu can't help but think of this sentence.
And when Liu Xin suddenly said this sentence at the time of parting, Dong Fu was even more shocked, after all, proverbs are not accessible to ordinary people, and there are at least thousands of proverbs, and there are new proverbs every year, so Liu Xin said this proverb to himself as soon as he opened his mouth, so Dong Fu didn't know how to reply for a while.
When Liu Xin left, Dong Fu stayed alone in the room in a daze for a long time, and finally came back to his senses and understood what Liu Xin was hinting at himself, Dong Fu couldn't help but fall into thought.
The political situation in the Han Dynasty is becoming more and more turbulent, the people are not happy, and there are frequent rebellions in various states, Dong Fu knows it as a servant, and when Dong Fu learned that there was a rebellion in Yizhou, Dong Fu wanted to resign and return to Yizhou, after all, Dong Fu's family is still in Guanghan, Yizhou, and Dong Fu is also an old man in his sixties, and it is time to return to his roots.
Now Liu Xin mentioned the proverb "Yizhou has a genius", which reminded Dong Fu of Liu Xin's most famous identity - a disciple of Zhou Gong and a great Han immortal master.
Therefore, Dong Fu feels that since Liu Xin said so, it proves that the correctness of the proverb "Yizhou has the spirit of heaven" can be guaranteed, and it can even be directly said to be a prophecy, because Dong Fu can also be regarded as Zhou Gong's "brainless fan", and Zhou Gong's prophecy is definitely stronger than Dong Fu.
Therefore, for the first time, Dong Fu began to face up to the proverb "Yizhou has a genius".
In fact, the interpretation of the proverb "Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven" is very simple, that is, there may be a true dragon son of heaven in the Yizhou area, that is, the meaning of the emperor.
And now the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty is naturally impossible to appear in the Yizhou area, after all, the son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, although he did not live in the palace, was fostered in a Taoist temple outside the palace, known as Shi Hou, this matter has long been no secret in the palace, and the other son of Emperor Ling of Han, that is, Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian, who is still in the belly of Wang Meiren, has also spread throughout the palace, so Dong Fu also knows that Emperor Ling of Han has at least two sons now, if nothing else, Then when Emperor Han Ling drove to the west, the new Emperor of the Han Dynasty would naturally be selected among the two sons of Emperor Han Ling.
Even if the two sons of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died prematurely, then according to common sense, a suitable person will be selected from the royal family to inherit the unification, and according to Dong Fu's understanding, there are no royal family members in the Yizhou area, so according to common sense, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to appear in Yizhou, unless it is a different surname of the Son of Heaven, that is to say, it is time for the Han Dynasty to be changed...
However, Dong Fu, as a servant, was naturally able to get some news at the first time, such as the news that Emperor Ling of Han officially canonized Liu Xin, and Dong Fu naturally knew that Liu Xin was named the king of Chengdu and the history of Yizhou's assassination!
The moment he learned the news, Dong Fu instantly blessed his heart, sorted out the order of the causes and consequences of the matter, and also understood why Liu Xin told himself the sentence "Yizhou is a genius", and invited himself to meet Liu Xin the next day.
To put it simply, Liu Xin has now become the king of Chengdu and has been named the history of Yizhou Thorn, then Liu Xin will definitely return to Yizhou as an official, and now "Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven", then the "Son of Heaven" here naturally refers to Liu Xin, and the possibility of Liu Xin being able to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty is great in Dong Fu's opinion, after all, Liu Xin's ability is there, as long as there is a problem with the two successors of Emperor Ling of Han, then Liu Xin is basically the first heir, after all, among the other members of the Han family, There are not many people who can compete with Liu Xin, or not at all.
Therefore, at this time, Dong Fu already regarded Liu Xin as the prince of the Han Dynasty.
And now that Liu Xin invited Dong Fu to the house for a detailed discussion, Dong Fu already knew what Liu Xin wanted to do with himself, after all, Dong Fu was also an "old driver", and knew that since Liu Xin dared to directly say to himself that "Yizhou is a genius", then he must want to recruit himself.
And what does Dong Fu think now, of course Dong Fu wants to follow Liu Xin.
First of all, it is still that sentence, Dong Fu is now a sixty-year-old man, and in the Han dynasty, the sixty-year-old man is already half of his body into the soil, and since ancient times, the Chinese people have paid attention to a fallen leaf to return to the roots, so Dong Fu has planned to find an opportunity to resign and return to his hometown, leave Luoyang and return to Chengdu, after all, the traffic environment of the Han Dynasty is too poor, if Dong Fu dies in Luoyang, it will take a month to return to his hometown and bury him in his ancestral grave, if it is winter, it is fine, In case Dong Fu died in the summer, then Dong Fu didn't dare to imagine what he would be like when he was buried.
Besides, the reason why Dong Fu accepted the recommendation of the general He Jin and came to Luoyang to serve as a servant at an old age was naturally because Dong Fu wanted to give full play to his residual heat and leave a way back for his children and grandchildren, after all, Dong Fu knew that his children and grandchildren were more than successful and not enough to enter, and there were almost no people who had the ability to enter the court as officials, so Dong Fu knew that when he drove the crane to the west, his family would definitely decline, so Dong Fu wanted to fight hard for his children and grandchildren, hoping to leave some capital for his children and grandchildren.
So by now, Dong Fu has decided that Liu Xin will fulfill the proverb "Yizhou has a son of heaven", so Liu Xin will definitely be the next son of heaven of the Han Dynasty!
According to Dong Fu's understanding, Liu Xin is from the Western Regions, and has no foundation in Yizhou itself, or the officials in Chengdu City have a certain favorability towards Liu Xin, after all, Liu Xin helped Chengdu City successfully resist the attack of Ban Yuman, so Liu Xin's reputation in Chengdu should be good.
However, Dong Fu, as a "local" of Yizhou, is also the head of the Dong family in Guanghan Mianzhu, one of the top celebrities in Yizhou, naturally knows the current situation of Yizhou, and also knows the deep-rooted roots of the wealthy family in Yizhou, and Liu Xin, a "foreign hukou", wants to enter Yizhou, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, so Dong Fu also understands why Liu Xin found him, and Dong Fu is sure that he can become a big help for Liu Xin to enter Yizhou.
Therefore, Dong Fu finally decided to follow Liu Xin back to Yizhou, that is to say, Dong Fu had subconsciously agreed to Liu Xin's possible solicitation, after all, Dong Fu had been an official in Luoyang City for so many years, and he had reached his upper limit, Dong Fu knew that it was impossible for him to go further in Luoyang, so now that there is a "dragon merit" in front of Dong Fu, how can Dong Fu not cherish it?
That's right, in Dong Fu's view, as long as he is invested in Liu Xin's account, as long as Liu Xin really becomes the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty in the future, then he will be regarded as a dragon, if he can still live to see the day when Liu Xin ascends the throne as king, then Dong Fu feels that he will be able to fulfill his lifelong wish - the third prince of the Han Dynasty, of course, even if Liu Xin does not become the son of the Han Dynasty, then Liu Xin is at least a tyrant in Yizhou, and his children and grandchildren will be able to live a very nourishing life under the protection of Liu Xin. Therefore, Dong Fu knew that as long as he followed Liu Xin back to Yizhou, he would definitely make a profit and not lose money.
Therefore, Dong Fu, who thought of this, had already made up his mind, and the next day, when he went to give Liu Xin a gift to celebrate, he would find an opportunity to talk to Liu Xin about his "surrender", and Dong Fu had already instructed his family to start preparing to pack their luggage and return to Yizhou.
Originally, Dong Fu wanted to come to see Liu Xin early this morning, but Dong Fu always felt that if he went to see Liu Xin in the morning, he seemed to be a little too anxious, after all, he was also a sixty or seventy-year-old man, and he should be more steady, lest Liu Xin see that such an old man as himself is still in a hurry, and he is a little too unstable, and then he looks down on himself because of this, which is too bad.
So, after Dong Fu deliberately studied the proverbs at home for a long time, he planned to come to Liu Xin for lunch before coming to give gifts to Liu Xin, but when Dong Fu heard that there were many people who came to give gifts to Liu Xin in the morning, and there were also "behemoths" like the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third prince came to give gifts to Liu Xin, Dong Fu began to panic, in case there were more people who came to give gifts to Liu Xin this afternoon, and he was naturally not as good as those heads of the family of a certain family, in case Liu Xin chatted happily with these family owners, and he couldn't rank up. will miss the agreement between himself and Liu Xin, and then Liu Xin may feel that he is relying on the old and selling the old, and then no longer pay attention to his own words, then it will be troublesome.
So Dong Fu had lunch in advance, and then went to the compound where Liu Xin was with the prepared congratulatory gifts, and happened to meet Jiang Wei and others who opened the door to welcome guests, and then met Liu Xin.
So, thinking of Dong Fu here, he decided to push out his ideas and plates, after all, Liu Xin had already said to himself that "Yizhou has a genius", which means that Liu Xin must want to recruit himself, so he simply said it in advance, so Dong Fu felt that he could be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and he could get better treatment.
So Dong Fu said to Liu Xin with a smile: "By the way, what you said to Xiao Lao'er yesterday can be regarded as helping Xiao Lao'er figure out some things, Xiao Lao'er is grateful to Wang Ye, and Xiao Lao'er also knows that Wang Ye is about to return to Yizhou to take up the position of assassin, so Xiao Lao'er still has something to ask for here." ”
Liu Xin smiled, naturally knowing what Dong Fu was going to say, so he nodded directly and said: "It's naturally good that Dong Shizhong can figure out that sentence, if Dong Shizhong needs the help of this king, just say it, where do you need to be polite, after all, there are some things that my king still needs Dong Shizhong's help." ”
When Dong Fu heard Liu Xin say this, he was reassured in his heart, and understood that Liu Xin thought the same as himself.
So, Dong Fu first smiled and saluted Liu Xin, and then said to Liu Xin: "Things are like this, Xiao Lao'er is not young now, so he plans to find a time to resign and return to his hometown, and now I heard that Wang Ye You are also going to leave Luoyang and return to Yizhou, so Xiao Lao'er hopes to be able to catch the prince's ride and return to Yizhou together, as for the prince, if you need Xiao Lao'er's assistance in anything, please just say it, as long as Xiao Lao'er can do something, then Xiao Lao'er will definitely give you a good help." ”
Liu Xin smiled, knowing in his heart that it was true, this Dong Fu was the same as in history, he wanted to get this dragon merit, but Liu Xin felt that he was not the Liu Yan who had more than enough success, so Liu Xin would not let Dong Fu, the old man, down.
Of course, Liu Xin was still very happy and said with a smile: "Oh, so good, if Dong Shizhong wants to follow this king back to Yizhou, then naturally there is no problem, when this king is ready to leave Luoyang and return to Yizhou Chengdu, he will definitely notify Dong Shizhong in advance, and I hope that Dong Shizhong can prepare as soon as possible, after all, this king will not stay in Luoyang City for a few days." “
Dong Fu nodded with a smile, and said happily: "Then the little old man thanked Liu Xianshi first, and the little old man is much more relieved." “
Liu Xin saw that the time was ripe, so he smiled and waved his hand, and said to Dong Fu seriously: "Dong Shizhong has outstanding ability, and it is a pity to return to his hometown now, so this king hopes that Dong Shizhong can go out of the mountain to serve this king when he returns to Yizhou, and give full play to his residual heat, and this king will definitely not treat Dong Shizhong badly."
Dong Fu smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Liu Xin had finally begun to recruit himself.
So Dong Fu didn't want to push around hypocritically anymore, so he nodded directly and said: "Since the prince has said so, then the little old man naturally can't shirk the prince's kindness, so as long as the prince doesn't dislike the little old man, please also ask the prince to agree to the little old man to serve under the prince!" “
Liu Xin was very happy to see Dong Fu so upright, after all, Liu Xin didn't like to push around with others in a false way, I thought that an old man like Dong Fu might also play "Tai Chi" with himself for a while in some way.
Therefore, Liu Xin, who was happy, immediately nodded and said: "How can this king dislike a talent like Dong Shizhong, if Dong Shizhong doesn't dislike it, please also serve as the governor of Shu County." “
The lieutenant of Shu County is the position that Liu Yan arranged for Dong Fu in history, because the seat of Shu County's subject state is in Guanghan, so it happens to be Dong Fu's hometown, and the position of lieutenant can be regarded as the highest official position that can be appointed within the scope of Liu Xin's rights as the Yizhou assassin.
Therefore, Dong Fu saw that Liu Xin had arranged for himself such an official position as the governor of the subject state of Shu County, and he was naturally very satisfied, after all, the captain of the subject state of Shu County was a real power official position, which was different from those messy miscellaneous officials.
Therefore, Dong Fu immediately got up and thanked Liu Xin: "Thank you, Lord Wang, but the little old man is also very old now, and it is inevitable that there will be some old eyes dizzy, so it is better to leave such an important position as the governor of Shu County to someone else." “
Liu Xin stepped forward with a smile to help Dong Fu up, and said: "Dong Shizhong's ability is very reassuring, and there is an old saying that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, so Dong Shizhong should not be modest, after all, I have also stayed in Yizhou Chengdu for a while, but I heard that Dong Shizhong is a disciple of the famous Confucian Yang Hou, and now he is as famous as Ren An and Zhou Shu, and he is the three most famous celebrities in Yizhou, so Dong Shizhong can serve under the account of this king, and this king is naturally very happy. “
Dong Fu shook his head with a smile, and said modestly: "Where, this is all falsely praised by everyone, where can Xiao Lao'er be regarded as a celebrity." “
Liu Xin also smiled, and then went directly to the topic, "Don't be humble in Dong Shizhong, so decided, Dong Shizhong will be the captain of this Shu County's vassal state, but having said that, I have one thing I need to get rid of Dong Shizhong, after all, Dong Shizhong You also know, this king has just returned to Dahan from the Western Regions, and there is no foundation in Dahan, although there are some like-minded friends under him, but this king is the history of Yizhou Thorn, and the talents under his command are still overstretched, At that time, this king will not be able to better manage the affairs of Yizhou, after all, the last Yizhou assassin Shi Xuan Jian has left a mess for this king. “
Although there were not many changes in the basic officials of Yizhou when Xuan Jian left Yizhou Assassin History, the entire leadership team of Yizhou Assassin History, that is, the direct officials of Yizhou Assassin History, had all resigned, so when Liu Xin took office as Yizhou Assassin History, he first had to establish his own leadership team, which required a lot of talents.
Dong Fu, who understood this, naturally knew that Liu Xin hoped to use his influence in Yizhou to recruit talents from Yizhou to work for Liu Xin.
So Dong Fu immediately nodded and said: "Please listen to me, there are a lot of talents in Yizhou, but because of the policy of the imperial court, as well as the corruption and cronyism of the previous Yizhou assassin Shi Xuan, many local talents in Yizhou have chosen to resign and return to their hometowns. “
Liu Xin smiled, it seems that this Dong Fu still understands things, and knows that his biggest role is still responsible for recruiting local talents in Yizhou for himself.
So, Liu Xin nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, in that case, please ask Dong Shizhong to recommend a few local talents in Yizhou for me." “
