The thirteen counties of Liangzhou, the two counties of the creation of Duzhong, the so-called "gold Zhangye, silver Wuwei" are the so-called "gold Zhangye, silver Wuwei".

The so-called "Jin Zhangye, Yin Wuwei", is the temperature of Zhangye and Wuwei two counties, which is conducive to farming, and the wheat fields are continuous and densely populated. However, in contrast, Wuwei County is known as "the first line in the vast desert and the throat of the five counties", and it is known as a battleground for soldiers.

The so-called place where soldiers must fight, that is, the place where soldiers are always in the smoke, in comparison, is slightly inferior to Zhangye County in the word Nongsang.

Guzang City, where Wuwei County is located, is uniquely blessed, and the Qilian Mountains melt snow into rivers, which just flow through Guzang City. There is water and soil, there is farming, animal husbandry and wandering merchants, Gu Zang is the Liangzhou Governor's Office, and there are many Hu Merchants Hu Ji in the city, perhaps because Gu Zang is the state governor, the Zoroastrian scriptures here are not as presumptuous as other Liangzhou counties. At the very least, the Zoroastrian scripture teachers here did not dare to go straight to the streets to carry out the teachings, holding the sheepskin scriptures, shouting Ahura Mazda, and smashing the façade of other people's houses.

Since the Zoroastrians did not dare to act recklessly, the fireworks in Guzang City seemed to be stronger than elsewhere, and even more open than in Zhuguan. The big clans of Liangzhou, who emphasize martial arts and ignore Confucianism, also disagree with the repeated prohibition of alcohol in order to stabilize food prices. Anyway, some of the high-grade drinking banquets in Guzang City are all made of Western Regions wine, and they have never been steamed with rice and wheat, so the Heavenly Family's prohibition can manage a lot?

With good wine, it is natural to have beautiful utensils as well. The jade bowl jade jue sold in Khotan, although it is rare and rare, but Qilian Mountain also produces black jade, although the jade color is not correct, there are many dark green spots, which is not suitable for Guibi Zhangpei, but it is no better to make wine utensils. The glass cup from Daqin may be rarely seen elsewhere, only the wealthy dignitaries may have one or two pieces in their collection, which are treasured and easily not seen in front of people. But the big families and even merchants in Guzang, who didn't prepare one or two glass bowls for the feast and serve them to the distinguished guests?

Even if it is a rogue official appointed by the Guannai, unless it is the kind of old disgust that flaunts honesty and advocates Confucianism, it is simply not like a human being, who is in the land of Tibet, isn't there a great west wind drunk, and it is better than the south wind Xunxun's feelings?

The weather was just right that day, ten miles outside the Guzang City, and around the Canglang Terrace, which had not been completed for a short time, there were small officials and servants waiting for busy.

Looking from the Canglang platform, I can see the peak of the white head of Qilian for thousands of years, the blue sky, the four fields are green, and they are connected to the riverbank. This kind of weather is very different from the plastered land of the Central Plains, which makes people climb high and look at it, and it makes the bosom smooth.

Under such a tour of scenery, who can still remember that more than 10 years ago, from the Western Regions to Longyou, there were smoke and fires everywhere, rebels were arrogant everywhere, and refugees who lost their homes everywhere? I am afraid that the liuguan officials who have been appointed from the Guannai have never thought about how the predecessors of these liuguan officials in Liangzhou were in turmoil in Liangzhou one after another, and finally buried their own lives in the soldiers.

An old official wearing a crown of virtuous men just ran back and forth to give orders: "Today's banquet on the Canglang platform is not as good as entertaining those vulgar and unliterate local military leaders, the fruits must be pure, and the plums and peaches must be sunk with deep well water!

The people in the audience are so busy that they turn over on their backs, and on the platform, there are people who are dressed in cranes, with big sleeves fluttering, and their eyebrows are clear, and they look at them like fairies, sitting on the main seat. This person held an ivory feather fan in his hand, pointed to the distance, and said with a smile: "Brother Lequan, you are from Shouguang in Qingzhou, how is this Liangzhou scenery compared to Qingzhou?"

The middle-aged man he called Brother Lequan had a Chinese face, a square head and thick lips, and seemed to be an extremely honest and loyal elder figure. However, there was a large flesh-colored mole in the middle of his left eyebrow, which immediately ruined his physiognomy a lot, but showed a hint of yin owl breath. This is Zhangye County Taishou Duan Gang, the word Lequan, Qingzhou Shouguang, a Taishou in Zhangye County for more than ten years, just because of the sound of the king, some people directly call him the king of Zhangye behind his back. (Thief Quanzi press: The Zhangye Duan Taishou during the period of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the author only knew his surname, did not know his name, so he had to make up a fiction to the wall, and he couldn't help but laugh at the generous house.) ）

It's just that although Duan Gang is a liuguan, he has been in charge of a county in Liangzhou for many years, and he can be regarded as half an indigenous. Compared with him, Zhang Ye, who can talk to the local wealthy families in Liangzhou, is too guarded, but this Liangzhou assassin is a newcomer to the officialdom who is no matter how standard it is, and this freshness is almost comparable to a certain soldier Cao who has jumped several levels in a row.

Speaking of which, this Liangzhou Thorn History is also an outlier in officialdom, his surname is Liang Minghu, the word Meng Huang, originally from Liangzhou Anding Wu, and his ancestors can still have some relationship with Liangzhou's famous relatives, and he is really a Liangzhou native who is not too standard. However, this Liang Menghuang really did not inherit the bloodline of the Liang ancestor who was good at fighting and manipulating power, but he was a standard literary and artistic young man.

And Liu Hong, the spiritual emperor who is quite a vassal and elegant in his calligraphy, actually promoted him from Hongdu Gate to the current high position in Liangzhou Thorn History on a whim because of the profound calligraphy of this Liang family. If you want to say that Wei Ye's soldier Cao is too light, then the Liang family's Liangzhou assassination history is like child's play.

On the track of his original life, this great calligrapher was transferred from Liangzhou to the center a few years later because of the care of Liu Hong, the absurd son of heaven. In the long life that followed, he would use an incomparable eight-point book to contract the transcription of countless important expressions and inscriptions of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Cao Wei. And let a generation of sage Wang Xi travel all over the country to find the true works he left behind.

But now......

Because Liu Hong, the ridiculous emperor, was locked in the forbidden place and reluctantly became an otaku, the atmosphere in Luoyang City was even more treacherous than before. When everyone was busy liquidating the eunuchs and dividing up power, Liang Hu, a hardcore emperor and fortunate minister who was harmless to people and animals like a little white rabbit, had no intention of settling accounts after the autumn for the time being.

For this great calligrapher, this situation has nothing to do with him at all. So I don't know how many local guards of the eunuch faction are panicked, the begging bones, busy walking the path of the Qingliu party, and taking refuge under the Nanyang family, for the Liang family, it is just a time to talk about wine, and there are a few more things to talk about, which have nothing to do with him Liang Envoy Jun.

Anyway, there are local virtuous people such as Su Zhenghe and his friend Gai Xun who are worried about general affairs, and as long as the Liang family is diligent in calligraphy, they will naturally have the favor of the king and the praise of celebrities.

This time I invited Zhangye and Hanyang counties to have a banquet and drink, and I originally had something serious to talk about - this Wuwei County Taishou is the confidant of Zhao Zhong, the big mink, this time in the early spring, and to meet the old benefactor, the relationship between walking around has been delayed for a long time. But he didn't want this to be unlucky, involved in the palace change in the spring, he was brave and wanted to resist, but he was beheaded on the spot by the new Yulin Zhonglang General.

Wuwei County Taishou is an important position, and no one can leave it unattended, but the work of liquidating the eunuch party in Luoyang is really complicated, and there is no explanation for a while. According to the old practice, although the new Wuwei Taishou was appointed by the central government, the local guards were not unable to say a word. What's more, in the officialdom of Liangzhou, it has always been a gladiatorial arena where the officials in the Guannai and the local wealthy families fight every day, and the statement of the Liang family, who is the assassin of Liangzhou, is very important.

But what kind of virtue is this Liang family, and the officialdom of Liangzhou is also a door Qing'er - as the Liang envoy of Liangzhou who is the assassin of Liangzhou and is the emperor of Jane, he is a person who is not responsible in his bones.

Before his death, the Wuwei Taishou who was beheaded was rampant under the nose of his Liangzhou assassin history, and he was three feet high, and Su Zhenghe in Liangzhou couldn't look at it, so he wanted to participate in Wuwei Taishou. Unexpectedly, after Liang Yuanjun heard the rumors, he was afraid of offending Zhao Zhong, so he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night, and finally even moved to kill and sent someone to assassinate his subordinates. If it weren't for his friend, Gai Xun, who was engaged in Hanyang County, came to the door and was very painful, I was afraid that Liang Yuanjun would really be able to do it for his own peaceful and happy life.

The same is true of other people, whether it is integrity or courage, but it is just a metrical person.

Such a mediocre person, Duan Taishou can't look down on an old official like Duan Taishou for a long time. However, the identities are different, and the famous position of the assassin is naturally controlled by the county guard, which should be welcomed, but it still has to be fooled.

Duan Taishou shook his hand and said: "The envoy said that he laughed, he initiated it without any restraint, traveled to study in Ludi, and then was promoted, and he traveled to Xiliang for nearly 20 years. The scenery of the hometown has not been seen or heard for a long time, where can I still say a thing or two. If you talk about the scenery of your hometown, Zhangye County is Duan's hometown. ”

After a pause, he continued: "If you say that the scenery is high, then you can see that under the rule of the envoy, the Han and Qiang are like a family, and the people multiply, all praise the virtue of the envoy. Compared with the counties too shou, they are often anxious about the dispute between the Qiang and Han, and they can be seen at a glance. ”

Hearing these words, Liang Hu couldn't help but slapped the feather fan twice in his palm, and laughed: "Then Duan Gong is also a character from the Botong Five Classics, how can he learn to be as straightforward as those military leaders!

To put it lightly, Liang Hu is also a native of Liangzhou, how can he not know that since the Qiang Hu of Liangzhou was attached, he rebelled and descended from time to time, and from fighting for land and water to fighting and causing trouble with the Han people, all kinds of things have never been missing? However, he, a scholar, only asks for a romantic and elegant celebrity leader, and only asks for this Qiang chaos not to break out in his office, and in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it can be regarded as a credit for himself.

After laughing and laughing, Liang Hu pointed his feather fan to the green field outside Canglang Terrace, and sighed: "Such a beautiful scenery can be put into poetry and painting." I only hate Duan Gong and can't share it with Hu Ri Ri. ”

In Liang Hu's opinion, such a question is already explicit - you Duan Gang naturally can't be both Zhangye Taishou and Wuwei Taishou, and this matter has its own laws of the imperial court. However, if you want to recommend a new Taishou candidate who is knowledgeable and interesting, and will not cause trouble for yourself everywhere, I think you old thing must always pick a passable character for yourself, right?

According to the factions in the officialdom of Liangzhou, it has always been the Liuguan who has a slight upper hand, and the county guards are often held by the Liuguan, while the long history and the second-level officials who are engaged in these are often entrusted to the wealthy families and celebrities in Liangzhou. This kind of situation in which the wealthy clans control each other, there is a knot brought about by the clamor of Liangzhou Kui and self-reliance during the time of Emperor Guangwu, and there are also relatives from the wealthy families in Liangzhou and Qingliu from the Guannei family, fighting to the bloody feud with each other.

As for Liang Hu, an outlier among the celebrities in Liangzhou, the hardcore imperial party, there are also more interested officials - and those local military leaders, Liang and everyone really can't even find a common topic. The military leaders, who first valued personal bravery and military exploits, did not think that there was any subtlety in the eight-point books written by Liang Lingjun Chengtian with a brush.

Liang Hu's outsider mentality of an idle and elegant celebrity may be able to hide it from others, but he can't hide it from Duan Yan, an old official who has accumulated years of experience. He smiled and said, "If you say that you can enjoy the people who make the king spend your days, it has to be Wuwei Taishou." It is reported that Wuwei Changshi Zuochang is also a broad master of the Five Classics, and he is quite good at gold and stone, so he wants to get along with the envoy. ”

Duan Yan mentioned Zuo Chang, but Liang Hu groaned for a rare moment, shook his head and said, "Zuo Chang is also suitable." It's just that when I was engaged in the impeachment of Su Zhenghe in the previous chapter, I bluntly said that Zuo Chang is a person who likes to prosper the temple and is greedy for ink. If you protect him, I am afraid that it will be a little hindering to the discussion......"

Listening to Liang Hu's hesitation, Duan Yan did not deny it, and waved his hand and said: "Let the monarch rule Liang, with the purpose of stabilizing the people's hearts, Siye Jingping, and the Qiang Han family." In this way, Zuo Chang is good at prospering the temple, but it is not a mistake, but can reuse his truth. ”

Seeing that Liang Hu was still a little unconvinced, Duan Gang said with an aggravated tone: "It has always been difficult to treat the cold, but the local wealthy families are all prosperous with military exploits, and the Qiang chaos is prosperous, and if you don't use the cool people, you can't calm the chaos." The policy of Liangzhou to calm down lies in two things, one is to soothe the Qiang people to be soft, and the other is to calm the cool people to be strong. The best thing is to be better than the Qiang people, and to control the cool with the Qiang, so that the king can be ruled by hanging the arch. ”

Listening to Duan Gang's undisguised statement, Liang Hu smiled reluctantly, and was unable to refute: "However, after all, Qianghu is the seed of Yidi, and he often harbors the idea of not being subordinate, this method ...... It's not always good......"

Duan Yan disagreed: "What the envoy said is right, so he wants to greatly promote Zoroastrianism, so that Qianghu will be submissive by practicing Zoroastrianism, which is also the righteousness of the saint Shinto." Then Qiang and Liang compete, and we can be educated so that we can truly be the parents of the people, so that the wealthy people in Liangzhou will not be bullied by us. This is a little experience of Zhangye for more than ten years, so what do you think?"

Liang Hu sat in place, thought silently for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Is it that Hu wants to embarrass his hometown father? ”

When he sighed, he didn't see the sneering look that flashed in the corner of Duan Yan's eyes.
