Lian Zhao, a native of Le'an, mentioned it in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", saying that he "was promoted by his talent and was quite good at words", but he was impeached by Du Shu (Du Ji's son). Of course, it is impossible for Shixun to remember this kind of character in the horns, and as for this Lian Zhao who is related to him, he once heard a word from Shi Su and Shi Jun, but he quickly put it to the back of his mind - so he never mentioned it to his son again.

After all, he has never met Shiyi's eldest daughter, and he doesn't know if it's because he married badly or for some reason.

However, after all, it is a relative, since it is a relative, of course, it is impossible to refuse it, and it is Fu who ordered the door to invite the two of them in, and on the other hand, he came to see Shixun in detail.

Although the Taiwei is honorable, it is different from the position of the early Han Dynasty, he is not the supreme commander of the armed forces, but just a fictitious title, barely comparable to the feudal lords of the Meiji period in Japan. The patriarch is qualified to be the prime minister, but not necessarily the prime minister, and must be consulted whenever there is a major policy, and he does not sit on duty on a daily basis, nor does he have an actual function. Therefore, he used to stay in the palace, and only entered the palace during the great dynasty.

Today, I am still sitting in the study, and I dare not trespass, that is, I will report in front of the door. Shixun waited for a while before slowly stepping out and coming to the main hall. The second son of the clan stepped forward to salute, and then told the interesting story he had just said again. It turned out that after Lian Zhao was crowned, he quoted "Poems. Daya. Yun Han" in the sentence "Zhuo Bi Yun Han, Zhao Hui Yu Tian", take the word "period Han", but when Cao Wei usurped the Han, his word was too taboo - period Han, period Han, are you looking forward to the revival of the Han Dynasty? Quickly changed it to "period".

It's detailed. The Lian family is now very dilapidated. For this reason, his grandfather (Shi Yi) also specially sent 5,000 yuan to support his eldest daughter. However, Lian Zhao is said to have read books, and he still has a small literary name in the county. He came to Luoyang this time, there is no need to ask, he must have asked your uncle for an official.

Shi Xun smiled faintly: "If he is talented, he can be an official." ”

Immediately summoned in, there was not much time, Lian Zhao and the other two entered the hall and knelt down to salute. Immediately Lian Zhao introduced. said that the one next to me is a friend of the same county, and Long Kangren Huan Fan is also.

When Shixun heard this name, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Where did you come from?" Na Huan Fan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Fan's great-grandfather was secretive, and he was a prince when Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty; The first father was a classic, once taught Yingchuan with "Shangshu", and then raised filial piety, Situ Yuan Gong (Yuan Kui) opened it, and worshiped the imperial history. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty moved three times to Yulin Zhonglang General. ”

Shi Xun was shocked and asked: "Is it not the Huan Gongye who 'does and stops'?" Huan Fan nodded: "Exactly." ”

It is said that when Huan Ling was in power, all officials avoided it. Only the Imperial Shi Huandian often rides a green horse, patrolling Luoyang, and the eunuchs are afraid, so the people of Luoyang say: "Stop and stop, avoid the imperial history of the horse." "It's also a generation of celebrities. Unexpectedly, the Lian family was poor and dilapidated, and the friends Lian Zhao made were the children of the family, the descendants of the three princes of the serious court.

In fact, the generations of related Huan Yan and Huan Dian may have been extremely prominent at that time, and the later generations also belonged to the role in the book. But he had already heard of the name "Huan Fan".

In the original history, this person Shi Wei, the official to the great Sinong, known as Cao Shuang's "think tank", when Gao Pingling changed, he once stole out of Luoyang City to vote for Cao Shuang, and persuaded him to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to meet Sima's sword soldiers. At that time, Jiang Ji was quite worried, and said to Sima Yi: "Think tank! Sima Yi smiled: "Fan Zhi is wise, the horse loves the beans, and the cool must not be used." Sure enough, Cao Shuang couldn't use Huan Fan's strategy, and finally abandoned his armor and surrendered, and Huan Fan was punished by the clan because of this.

Is this really that Huan Fan? Shi Xun asked, "What do you call Qing?" Huan Fan replied: "Fan Zi Yuan rule." "Yes Xun's eyes flickered slightly-hell, there is no biography of Huan Fan's history, only a brief description of it in Cao Shuang's biography, I really don't remember what his words are. Is this really the case? "Think tank"? There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and there is really no way to guarantee it.

But anyway, since he came with Lian Zhao, I'll leave him for the time being, maybe it will be useful in the future.

was thinking about it, and suddenly his nose trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Shi Fu: "That is, how to drink during the day?" "Yes Fu and Shi Xun are father and son, in fact, they are like friends behind closed doors, and Shi Xun often communicates with his son on an equal footing behind his back, but this kind of situation is very unconventional, so in front of others, his father's prestige still has to be occasionally shown. Yes Fu also gave face to his father, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize: "Ershi talked with the public trial, borrowed wine to help the ear, and did not dare to drink more." ”

Shi Xun said: "If you are coming, you should set up a banquet, but you can go and command." "Lian Zhaoxin said that I didn't mention my own words, how did my cousin know? Oh, I guess I told him in detail. Squinted at Huan Fan, which means: Look, I said come over quickly, you can catch up with the meal, if you really want to go to see the killing, I guess I won't rush.

When the meal was put on the table, it was Xun who sat in the center, Fu and Xixi's first attendants, and Lian Zhao and Huan Fan were guests, so they sat in the east. While eating, Shixun casually asked about Lian Zhao's family situation, as well as "who to learn from, what kind of classics", Lian Zhao must put down his chopsticks every time he asks, avoid the table to answer, the etiquette is a little too much, and it seems that Shixun has a little no appetite.

Finally, when the meal was finished, according to the habit of the family, the servant did not withdraw the meal, but served tea. Lian Zhao was overjoyed and said, "This is tea? The nephew has to use it for the first time. Yes Fu couldn't help but grin, and said in his heart this hillbilly...... It's been a few days since he came to the Taiwei Mansion, and he has to be Xun Qingyan, and he is fighting hotly, so he doesn't think he is an outsider at all, so he immediately smiled and said: "Uncle is better to drink tea, and he can drink more in the mansion." ”

Shi Xun said: "Tea must be used after eating, not on an empty stomach. Then he asked Lian Zhao, when did you enter Luoyang City, what you saw and heard, do you have anything you want to say? Lian Zhao hurriedly put down the teacup, turned sideways to avoid the table, and arched his hand: "The nephew will enter the city in the afternoon, but Wenxi City will be executed and abandoned the city, and more than 30 officials will be killed in one day. ”

Shi Xun turned his head to look at Shi Fu, and Shi Fu quickly replied yes, a total of thirty-two, and the inferior ones are also in the county Zhongke Peng, Ting Peng, and the highest is a county Cheng, all of whom were on the previous grain transportation issue, or the party and Ma Boyong were in their hands, or the supervision was not effective, and they committed the crime of dereliction of duty, so they were sent to the capital to be punished by the Ming Dynasty.

Lian Zhao frowned and asked, "Even if you are derelict in your duties, you are not a capital crime, but you are abandoning the market?" There seems to be a disadvantage of not bending the law, why don't you discourage the Supreme? Yes Xun hasn't answered yet, but Fu Xian is impatient: "The crime of the little official, there is a judgment of the division, the son of heaven is a holy judge, why does the father have to interfere beyond his authority?" Lian Zhao retorted: "The important minister of the Taiwei country, the son of heaven, Xie Li Yin and Yang, if there is a non-criminal, why not admonish?" Although the officials are humble, they are also human lives, that is, Li Shu cannot be punished, and the officials? ”

It was Xun Xin who said that this is a pedantic person, and a glance is Fu, which means that you don't have to be as knowledgeable as him. It stands to reason that since he didn't intend to scold Lian Zhao, he should casually say something else and skip this topic, but he just looked at Huan Fan and asked, "What does Yuan Ze think?" ”

Huan Fan is a person who came to eat with him, and he was a little flattered to be able to look down on the captain-he still respected his great-grandfather and father, so he looked at it differently-hurriedly avoided the banquet and saluted: "Fan Countryman, whether it is a punishment or not, and state affairs, dare to put his beak in it?" ”

Shi Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was aggravated: "But if you think about it, you can try to say it, it doesn't hurt." "In the power of the superior shook out, Huan Yuan was a little covetous, thinking that the Taiwei probably wanted to test me, and see if the son of the "Horse Yushi" would disgrace his father. Therefore, he boldly asked: "Your Majesty Fan Wen's western expedition to Guanzhong, the grain transportation is planned by the prince Taiwei Zuo, and the punishment is the same, is the Taiwei okay?" "It won't bother you, will it?

Shixun didn't answer, nor did he look away, just staring at Huan Fan coldly all the time. Huan Fan only felt cold sweat on his back, and quickly lowered his head. Shi Xun waved his hand: "The sun will be twilight." The signal is replied: "You can guide the guests to rest, and the Ming Dynasty will meet again." ”

Lian Zhaoxin said, this hasn't gotten to the point yet, why did I suddenly come to the door, cousin, why don't you ask? Did I offend you by what I just said? Before he could speak, he saw that Shixun shook his sleeves, got up directly, and retreated behind the screen.

Lian Zhao had no choice but to follow Huan Fan with him. According to Shi Xun's instructions, he arranged a bedroom for the two of them, but it was quite strange, although the mansion was wide and there were many guests, and the empty house was not sufficient, but the two of them were not placed in one place, and the two rooms were still far apart. Lian Zhao wanted to talk to his friend Huan Fan and discuss how to talk to Shixun tomorrow and seek a background, but seeing this, he had no choice but to wash and sleep.

Huan Fan refused to sleep, and sat alone in the bedroom, facing the door. Sure enough, the drums beat the second watch, and the first footsteps came, and then the voice of a servant sounded: "Has the guest been washed?" Huan Fan hurriedly replied: "I have purified my body and mind." The outsider asked again: "Are you willing to follow me?" Huan Fan slowly stood up: "Trouble leads the way." ”

When he went out of the door, he saw the servant carrying a candle wrapped in tissue paper, and without looking back, he went to the backyard first. Huan Fan followed, and after a short time, he walked to the door of a house. The servant said, "This is my lord's study, and ordinary people are not allowed to do it. ”

In fact, although Xun's study is private, it is not something that is never used to entertain guests, the key is that there are some things locked in the room that cannot be seen, so you have to invite no one to enter. Now not only Xun, but even Fu is also in the house, quietly waiting for Huan Yuanze together.

Huan Fan rushed in and bowed to the ground. Shi Xun waved his hand: "Exempt." Pointing to a wooden bench next to him: "Sit." Huan Fan had never sat on a stool, so he had to sit down on his knees like Xun's father and son, and he felt uncomfortable up and down, and his nerves were completely tensed.

Shi Xun got straight to the point: "It is suitable for the hall, and Yuan Ze is not finished." Now in the inner room, you can be bold to say, I don't blame it. ”

Huan Fan took a long breath, and then he arched his hand and looked at Shi Xun: "Fan Daring, may I ask, are the people who are executed in Xishi today the ones ordered by the prince?" (To be continued.) )
