Chapter 81: Two Dragons
Light and four years, July.
Qingzhou, Jinan State, Dongpingling, West City Gate.
At this time, the heads of the famous powerful families of Jinan were waiting outside the West City Gate with the officials of Jinan.
It is none other than the newly appointed Jinan Prime Minister Xun Qi who can make these Jinan heads wait in the middle of summer.
It is said that this Xun Qi is famous in the sea, it comes from the Yingyin Xun family, and its family is known as a clear name. Especially in Xun Qi's generation, there are eight people with high morals, called "Xun's Eight Dragons".
And this new Jinan Xiangxun is the second among the eight brothers of this generation, also known as "Erlong".
But he is most famous not for his identity as a second dragon, but for the fact that he did something that caused an uproar in Qingliu, he asked his son Xun Yu to marry the daughter of the late eunuch Tang Heng.
Some people say that he Xun Sui is greedy for the power of eunuchs and is shameless; Some people defended it, Tang Heng had already died, how could he talk about clinging to power.
The families waiting at the West City Gate were also talking about this topic, and neither of the two factions could convince anyone, until the head of the Gao family surnamed Gao in the county said something:
"Don't care if this Xun Zhongci is clinging to power, you see that he is now the minister of Jinan, what else is there to say, you don't know, this minister of Jinan has always been the place reserved for the children of eunuchs, and he has never been given to outsiders."
Everyone suddenly realized, and sure enough, it was still Gao's high! I can see clearly.
Although the crowd that greeted Xun Qi was gathered at the West City Gate, they were actually divided into three waves of people, and the three groups of people were distinct.
At the front are the chief of Cao and his subordinates of Jinan, and then a little to the left are the Gao clan, the Guo clan, the Liu clan and other county clans, both of which are representatives of scholars. The last wave of people, the largest number of people, also stood at the back, all of them were local tyrants from various counties and townships, and they were the representatives of the people.
The so-called Shimin supports the new Jinan Xiangxun to perform his duties, which is what it means.
And among the crowd of the people, Zhang Hong of Da Sangli is also impressively listed, but this time he is already old, and his original sturdy eyes are cloudy at the moment.
This will make several local tyrants near him laugh at Zhang Hong:
"Zhang Tiehu, you are also miserable, you are all at this age, and after you are dead, now the white-haired people are sending the black-haired people. You said you had to go into the mountains to hunt there? Now it's okay, he died at the hands of a group of thieves, and even the corpse is gone, maybe he will be eaten by the wild dogs in the mountains. It's miserable! ”
I can't help those local tyrants not to ridicule it, they were not less tossed by this Zhang Hong when they were young, this person relied on a halberd throwing technique, rampant in the countryside, they don't know how much suffering they have suffered.
Well, now this old man is old and childless, how can they not be happy!
Moreover, there is malice lurking under this ridicule, they have long been worried about Zhang Hong's industry, and now that he is gone, when he dies, aren't those industries all theirs?
When Zhang Hong heard this, his cloudy eyeballs did not fluctuate at all, as if he was not talking about him, and a few local tyrants on the side saw that Zhang Hong did not answer, and they also felt bored, so they snorted and stepped aside, not knowing what to discuss.
At this time, there were also several people talking in Zhu Cao Chang, and Cao Gao Zongzheng, the national merit of Jinan, accused the military chief Cao Kang and the thief Cao Chang Guoyong:
"Er Cao, I treat you well on weekdays. Before, we said that before the new Jinan minister took office, don't give me too much trouble. What you said at that time, pat your chest one by one, and it will not make you troubled.
And then what? That's how you help me. In just a few months, under our noses, a giant was raised in this Mount Tai, plundering the surrounding dock walls, and as far as I know, five or six small tyrants have died.
Now the local tyrants over there in Licheng have jointly come to me and asked me to send troops to suppress bandits. But where does Curry have money? As soon as Xun Zhongci arrives, those people will find him to send troops again, and when Xun Zhongci checks the treasury and asks for money?
How do you say I answered! Don't blame me for not warning you, you've eaten a lot too! Gotta get things done. ”
After speaking, he saw the caravan of knots coming on the straight road ahead, and he didn't bother to talk to the two of them anymore, so he led the people to meet him.
Jun Cao Chang Wang Kang and thief Cao Changguo Yong's faces were pale at the moment, but they also knew that Gao Zong was right, shook their heads at each other, and followed.
The convoy that came was the two dragons of the Yingyin Xun clan, Xun Xun Zhongci.
As the head of the people, Cao Gaozong took the lead in bowing to the Zhulun ox cart:
"Servant Jinan Gong Cao Gao Zong rate my Jinan people welcome Xun Jun."
What came out of the curtain was an eight-foot-long middle-aged man, and as soon as he got out of the car, Gao Zong exclaimed:
"It's really beautiful, it's extraordinary."
Then another person came out behind the curtain, about eighteen years old, also eight feet, Gao Zong, sighed in his heart:
"Zhilan Yushu, I don't know whose nephew it is."
When this person stood behind Xun Sui, Gao Zong suddenly said:
"This is a real father and son."
That's right, the middle-aged man is Erlong Xun Yu, and the young man behind him is his son Xun Yu.
Xun Qi was stunned when he saw the Gong Cao named Gao Zong in front of him, and he felt strange in his heart, this person didn't seem to be very smart.
Although he was puzzled, he still took care of etiquette, and he helped Gao Zong and introduced Xun Yu to him.
Xun Yu is polite and courteous to his elders.
Then Xun Qi and Gao Zong exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Gao Zong began to introduce Zhu Cao Chang behind him to him.
Xun Qian encouraged them one by one, and tried to remember the names and appearances of these people, and he would rule Jinan with these people in the future.
Just as the atmosphere on both sides was getting warmer and hotter, three sloppy local tyrants rushed out of the people.
As soon as they came, they knelt on the ground and began to cry, asking Xun Jun to make decisions for them.
Gao Zong, who was smiling at Benxi, saw these three people, and his face became gloomy in an instant, and it was these three local tyrants who were looking for him to save the soldiers before.
At this moment, a middle-aged man, led by the three, stopped crying and suddenly said:
"As soon as Xun Jun comes, this Jinan will have a god!"
Xun Qi was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said that it was not good, he was busy looking at Zhu Cao Chang, and sure enough, the smile that was originally hanging on his face had solidified.
Even one or two people who are poor in qi cultivation are already covered with frost at the moment. Just when Xun Qi didn't know what to do, Xun Yu behind him said to the local tyrants below with a smile:
"That's wrong! There is only one day in this life, that is the sky, and there is only one day in Jinan, and it is still the sky. The sky hangs high, and he does not live with the will of the people, and you think that what the servant said is right. ”
The local tyrant's surname was Jin, and when he heard this, he saw the gloomy face of Zhu Cao Chang on the side, and he didn't know that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately followed the young man's words and said yes.
He complained bitterly in his heart, these scholars are really sour! Putting it here, it's talking about God.
But he didn't dare to offend these local families, and he wanted to borrow troops to fight back.
Reading this, he secretly swore to himself:
"When Naigong fights back, I must let those small people and dog slaves live worse than die, so as to repay my humiliation today."
Then, he kowtowed heavily to Xun Qi.
