Xue Chongxun and his entourage walked along the east of the river, and before they arrived in Luoyang, they met dozens of officials from Luoyang, and they actually went out of the city for dozens of miles to greet each other. According to the usual practice, the magistrate greeted the Beijing official at the gate of the city at most, but now he is welcomed out of the city for dozens of miles, which is simply overstepping.

But seeing that the person who took the lead was Liu An, Xue Chongxun also knew it. Liu An had a relationship with Xue Chongxun when he was in Chang'an before, he was originally from a family of eunuchs, but he became a member of the Central Committee because he was attached to Princess Taiping. Now that Princess Taiping's son has arrived, of course he can't be lazy, and it is not too much in etiquette.

As soon as Xue Chongxun rode a horse to the front of the officials, an official wearing an official uniform immediately came up to lead the horse personally, and all kinds of sycophants suddenly became noisy, "As soon as the heroic deeds of Wei Guogong in Shaanzhou reached the eastern capital, it was really earth-shattering. "You are both civil and military, that is unparalleled in the world, I have been waiting here for a long time, as long as I can look up to the demeanor and demeanor of Wei Guogong, it is a ......blessing for Sansheng."

Xue Chongxun was not stunned, he said in his heart: According to the current speed of information transmission, the matter of the three pillars is at most reported to the Eastern Capital by the local officials, and the people in the officialdom know a little, and it is impossible for it to spread to the market so quickly.

They poured up and shook the sky, and some people even talked more and more unlikely, what "the handsome little lady of the Eastern Capital only said Wei Guogong in the boudoir" Yunyun said it, as if he personally ran to the outside of the boudoir of other people's girls and daughters-in-law to eavesdrop.

Xue Chongxun smiled and observed these sycophant officials around him, and saw that many of them did not have a long and correct face, their behavior was ridiculous, and their words were even more vulgar, I am afraid that many of them are "oblique officials".

In contrast, Liu An, who is neither humble nor arrogant, looks like he stands out from the crowd and has a lofty spirit, he looks about thirty years old and in the prime of life, with white skin and loose skin, and he exudes the elegance of a literati. When everyone was almost enthusiastic, Liu An hugged his fists and calmly greeted Xue Chongxun.

Xue Chongxun hugged his fists and said: "I am at the same level as Liu Yuanjun (the household servant is also a transfer envoy), so I am really flattered by such courtesy." ”

Liu An said with a smile: "Originally, I also told my local colleagues that it was too much, and it was not good to spread it to Beijing, but the people sent by the Shaanzhou Assassin Shi told Xue Lang's deeds vividly, and my colleagues were impatient to see Xue Lang's talents, so they couldn't dissuade them." ”

At this time, Xue Chongxun's eyes noticed a kind old man behind him, who was not Yao Chong? Because Yao Chong had been a prime minister before, and he often appeared on various occasions in the officialdom, Xue Chongxun recognized it.

Yao Chong is about sixty years old, and his forehead is very full. According to the physiognomy, this kind of physiognomy is the kind that has a good background and will not endure hardships in the first half of life. Xue Chongxun thought about it, Yao Chong was born in an official family, and when he was young, he was idle and lazy, and later forged ahead to get a career...... It just so happened that Yao Chong lived a very comfortable life in the first half of his life, and he really matched his face, and this kind of mysterious thing is really not clear.

Xue Chongxun hugged his fist to Yao Chong and said, "Yao Xianggong, I am fortunate to be happy." ”

Yao Chong looked very peaceful, and returned the salute with a smile: "Don't dare to say anything about the degraded officials." Xue Lang was sent by Qin to inspect the place, and if there was something wrong with Luoyang Mansion in official affairs, he hoped that Qin Cha would correct him. ”

With a kind smile on his face, Xue Chongxun looked at Yao Chong a few more times, but he didn't see anything. The peace that Yao Chongbiao came out of is nowhere to be found, just as he himself is a person who values peace without contention with the world. This person reminded Xue Chongxun of Yin Li Shouyi of Jingzhao Mansion: compared to Li Shouyi's uprightness, Yao Chong seems to be more clever; But they should have one thing in common, everything will have a good and bright reason, once things in the world are right, it is really difficult to find flaws.

A group of people welcomed Xue Chongxun to Luoyang, and immediately held a banquet for him in the evening, and sent many official prostitutes to accompany him, which really made people feel at home. Xue Chongxun also followed the customs of the locals and got along with everyone very happily.

…… After eating and drinking, the magistrates sent the servant who accompanied Xue Chongxun to his residence to sleep, and today is considered to be the friendship of the landlord.

At the end of the music, everyone dispersed one after another, but a few important magistrates did not leave, and asked Liu Andao: "It stands to reason that Xue Lang and we are all the way, and we are both transfer envoys, and Cao Yun also has his share...... Do you want to re-divide the benefits, and if the distribution is fair, everyone will be fine. ”

"There's no hurry." Liu An said decisively.

The official next to him frowned and said, "If we exclude him, he will figure it out in the future, and he will think that we are not righteous." Liu Yuanjun, Xue Lang is the eldest son of Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, and it is really not a good thing to offend him. ”

The other shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of giving benefits recklessly, and he suddenly reprimands us with righteousness and awe, aren't we just giving people a face to beat us up?" What kind of person Xue Lang is, who knows? I agree with Liu Yuanjun's meaning, so don't worry about it yet. This royal nobleman is not short of money, so it's better to hold it steady before figuring out what it is. ”

"Yes, the key now is to find out what Xue Lang came down to do, to do things? Seeking wealth? ”

Liu An paced a few steps in front of the window, pondering something, and suddenly sighed: "This official, if he can do practical things, he may be reused, but if he is favored, he will definitely be reused...... Alas, helpless, no solution......"

An official said: "A person like Liu Yuanjun can't take these rivers, Xue Lang, a kid who hasn't grown a beard yet, can do hairy things, and make a mess of nonsense, just waiting for us to wipe his ass?" ”

"Yao Chong, that old man doesn't know how to be an official in Chang'an, and the good prime minister was sent to Luoyang to block us...... He is the Yin of Luoyang Mansion, and what to do in Luoyang is his business; We don't have to covet the benefits of Luoyang Mansion, we are afraid that he will stab us in a sullen voice. That's not the way to go. ”

Liu An sneered: "Yao Chong, don't worry about how to deal with him as soon as possible, what can you do to get him?" Of course, don't be afraid, Princess Taiping is in the court, what can Yao Chong do? We'll be in peace with each other. ”

"That Xue Lang ......"

"Let's take a look, Ming'er has sent people to play with him every day, whether it's hunting or patrolling, what he wants to do. If we understand what he's doing, we'll be able to prescribe the right medicine...... To tell the truth, I also have a hot hand with this money in the river, I really hope that he Xue Lang has a momentum, and he came to do something, in this way, even if he can't figure out the specific joint, I can help him not. ”

The official next to Liu An said again: "There's nothing to be hot about, the ruler is already like this, whoever comes is the same, and besides, didn't the big head send Chang'an?" It's okay. ”

……

Early the next morning, Liu An led the officials to accompany Xue Chongxun again, and today was not a banquet, but a hunting trip out of Luoyang. Seeing this, Zhang Wulang couldn't help but look for an opportunity to speak in front of Xue Chongxun: "Lang Jun, I look at this appearance, Liu Yuanjun and the others are either arranging banquets or playing, they seem to be treating us as mud bodhisattvas." ”

At this time, Liu Anze's horse caught up, and Xue Chongxun and Zhang Wulang stopped talking. I only heard Liu An say: "This Ruzhou Guangchengze has been a resort since the Han Dynasty." After the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, the court soon discovered this good place and set it up as a royal garden for safari and entertainment. ”

Xue Chongxun saw that the surrounding mountains and rivers were beautiful, and all kinds of birds and birds came out of the woods, so he couldn't help but nod and praise: "It's really a good place." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly shouted: "There is a deer coming around, please show your magic shot to the Duke of Weiguo!" ”

Xue Chongxun followed the sound and looked, and there was indeed a deer on the grassy slope next to the grove in the east that had been driven out, and there were cavalry on all sides, and the deer had no way to go, and was wandering there left and right and didn't know where to escape. Everyone also slowed down their movements, not daring to frighten it too much, and only let Xue Chongxun shoot it with an arrow.

"Gorou, I remember that your archery skills are very good, how is riding and archery?" Xue Chongxun turned around and said.

Zhang Wulang said: "It's no problem to ride and shoot, but everyone wants to see Lang Jun's divine shooting, and I don't dare to show ugliness." ”

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "Then I'll be ugly." ”

An official took a bow and arrows and walked to the horse, Xue Chongxun took the bow and arrow on the horse, and aimed the bow and arrow at the deer, and everyone looked ahead, full of expectation.

"Dada!" The horse's hooves gently scraped the ground, and Xue Chongxun grinded there for a while before pulling the string and releasing the arrows. "Bang" There was a string sound, and everyone suddenly shouted: "Good archery!" "It's really a hundred steps through Yang......"

The praise was shouted, but after a while, everyone immediately felt very embarrassed, because the deer was still there as if nothing had happened, and it didn't even hurt a single hair.

What about arrows? The officials looked at each other, this arrow is too outrageous! There was no arrow shot from within a few dozen steps of the deer.

Liu An also felt very embarrassed when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "Wei Guogong suddenly has compassion, and he can't bear to shoot the deer, which makes us feel nostalgic." ”

Only Xue Chongxun himself could laugh at the people present, and he laughed: "That's right, I don't pity the deer, but I suddenly saw a small bird flying by the forest, and I felt that the deer was too big to shoot, so I temporarily decided to shoot the bird, I don't believe you sent someone to find the arrow." ”

The officials looked at each other, were stunned for a moment, and immediately echoed: "I see, admire and admire!" ”

"Go to the woods and get the arrows back." Liu An shouted to the guard beside him, and at the same time gave a look to a henchman, who nodded in understanding.

After a while, several horsemen who had entered the woods came out, and one of them had an arrow feather in his hand, and indeed a bird was wearing it on it, and the man shouted as he ran: "The god of the kingdom shoots, the arrow is stuck in a tree, and it is really wearing a bird!" ”

Xue Chongxun laughed, turned back to Liu An and said, "Liu Yuanjun, this bird was really shot by me, but it wasn't put on by the guard temporarily." ”

Hearing that Xue Chongxun actually said the trick to cover up the embarrassment, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? Liu An's face was also a little unbearable, he couldn't cry or laugh, fortunately, the officials who accompanied him to hunt were all his own people, but no one deliberately embarrassed Xue Chongxun, so he continued to pat along the steps.

But Xue Chongxun was still triumphant when he heard such a vulgar sycophant, as if he had really shot something. Liu An on the side couldn't help but admire his cheekiness a little.

The deer was still there, but no one told Xue Chongxun to continue shooting......

At this moment, Liu An's guard took advantage of Xue Chongxun's being surrounded by a group of people and said in a low voice: "Envoy, that bird is indeed not a humble hand, it was just shot to death, and the blood is still hot." ”

Liu An's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and when he looked at Xue Chongxun, he saw that he was pointing at the deer on the grassy slope with his finger and said, "The deer is in the Central Plains, and the heroes are competing for it." ”
