It was almost noon in the morning.

The hot sunlight fell, dyeing the entire city golden and bringing heat. There were still many pedestrians on the streets of Luoyang City. People sweated heavily and made their own lives.

Grand Sima Mansion.

This mansion was originally owned by Yuan Shao, and the location is very good. It is surrounded by large houses with high-ranking families, and there are very few idle people.

Furthermore, the Grand Sima Mansion is really very vigilant. There are always a team of armored soldiers guarding the gate, and they are fierce and evil, as if they will pounce on them at any time. There are soldiers in the mansion patrol day and night.

When an idle person sees such a mansion, he will of course take a detour from a distance and dare not stay for too long.

A middle-aged man wearing a black narrow-sleeved robe, led a black war horse, walked past the gate of the Grand Sima's mansion and looked up at the gate.

The guard at the door immediately became alert and glared at the man. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but finally did not enter and walked past the gate of the Grand Sima Mansion.

Idle people in the city are not allowed to ride horses. The middle-aged man still led the horse and walked a long way to an outside of a large mansion in the west of the city.

This big mansion is the mansion of Gu Min, a native of Xuantu County, in Luoyang.

Xuantu County was originally a major county located in the Liaodong region. After Emperor Wu of Han conquered the Wei clan Korea, he divided the land of Korea into four Han counties, among which Xuantu County was the largest and most important county.

However, as the years passed, Emperor Wu of Han's hegemony was yesterday. After several battles in Xuantu County, only a few small counties remained in the land, and the jurisdiction was moved inward. Most of the territory was occupied by the Wuhuan people and the Goguryeo people, and now they are just surviving.

Gu Min is currently serving as a censor in the court, and he is doing well. This is mainly because he is recommended and cared for by Xu Rong, a native of Xuantu County.

This middle-aged man was also from Xuantu County, with Gongsun Du's courtesy name Shengji.

After coming to this mansion, Gongsun Du became much more comfortable. He went up and called the door. The doorman walked out of the room, but he also recognized Gongsun Du and hurried up to greet him: "Mr. Gongsun, are you here to find my master?"

“That’s right.”

Gongsun Du nodded and said expressionlessly.

Gongsun Du was taciturn, had a strong personality, and was a little extreme. He stood there like a cold wolf, and could bite people anytime and anywhere.

Every time this wardrobe sees this master, he feels a little scared.

"Our master is working in the Censorate and has not returned in the evening. Please ask the sir to enter the mansion and take a seat." The concierge said quickly.

"good."

Gongsun Du nodded, handed the reins to the gatekeeper, and walked in. Not long after, under the reception of the butler.

Gongsun Du sat down in the lobby of the mansion and waited, and lunch was also settled. He sat alone from morning to evening, without saying a word, and almost did not move.

It was not until the Censor Gu Min came back in the evening when he heard that Gongsun Du was coming. He got off the carriage with joy, entered the mansion and came to the hall to pay homage to Gongsun Du.

"Brother." Gu Min, who was wearing a handsome official uniform, bowed to Gongsun Du who was sitting on the seat and said.

"Brother." Gongsun Du finally showed a little smile on his expressionless face and bowed back. After sitting down, Gu Min asked, "Did you just arrived in Luoyang today?"

"Yes." Gongsun Du nodded.

Gu Min looked at Gongsun Du's expression and felt a little annoying. He had to ask again: "Does my brother come to Luoyang this time to get a job?"

"I heard that Dong Zhuo was in power, and the eldest brother of the Xu family (Xu Rong) was a general under Dong Zhuo's command, so I really wanted to obtain a half-time position in Dong Zhuo."

Gongsun Du's expression changed a little, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes.

"Yeah." Gu Min looked as expected. It is normal for people from the same county and fellow countrymen to rely on each other.

The eldest brother of the Gongsun family is not an ordinary person. He is not from a high school and is a poor scholar. However, the Gongsun family is a prominent family in Xuantu County and has a strong influence.

Gongsun Du started his family as a minor official in the county, and later entered Luoyang to become a Shangshu Lang, and became the governor of Jizhou.

Gongsun Du was a very capable person, but his personality was not very good, so he was inevitably excluded. Later, he was dismissed from his official position and returned to his hometown.

"Brother should have passed by Sishui Pass. What do you say about the eldest brother of the Xu family?" Gu Min thought for a moment and asked.

"The eldest brother of the Xu family did not recommend me to Dong Zhuo, but wrote a letter to me to bring it to Zhang Xiu." Gongsun Du shook his head gently, took out a rolled-up letter from his arms, but did not hand it to Gu Min.

"Compared with Dong Zhuo, Grand Marshal Zhang Xiu is indeed much easier to talk to. He is a polite and polite person, and treats others generously." Gu Min nodded in a clear way.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiu himself has already been appointed as the Grand Sima and is the Supreme Duke of the court, and has the right to recommend officials to the court.

Just talking about the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Dong Zhuo, once Zhang Xiu speaks, he will definitely have a bright future. His brother will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom again.

"Yes." Gongsun Du's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly. He had his thoughts. When he passed by the Grand Sima Mansion just now, he wanted to go in and visit.

But with a sudden inspiration, he came to the home of the Gu family first to inquire.

As for Zhang Xiu's character, the eldest brother of the Gu family usually talked about it himself.

"I hope I can get a good official position. Over the years, I have been at home and I am almost stinking." Gongsun Du sighed in his heart.

I didn't think it was before, but during this period of time he stayed at home, he understood a truth: a real man should not be powerless for a day, otherwise he would be despised by others.

Gongsun Du was a dull man. Gu Min accompanied Gongsun Du to say something, and then ordered wine and food to eat and drink with Gongsun Du, and waited early the next morning.

Gongsun Du took the chariot prepared by Gu Min for him, came to the door of the Grand Sima Mansion, and handed Xu Rong's letter on it.

In the study room.

Zhang Xiu was idle and was reading a book in the study.

Recently, the princes have been in peace. Dong Zhuo did not make any mistakes, so he stayed in Luoyang to repair it.

After leaving the affairs of the Houzai to Mrs. Cai, they were also in order.

In the past, when he went back, he was in the house and was lucky to see the beautiful concubine. He flipped the signs and caught who was who. Now he relied on the list to take turns, and he lived a very comfortable life.

"You said it was Gongsun Du of Xuantu County?" Zhang Xiu put down the bamboo slips in his hand in surprise and looked up at the small official who came to report.

"Yes. Ming Gong." The little official bowed calmly, walked up and handed Xu Rong's letter to Zhang Xiu.

After Zhang Xiu opened the letter and read it, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Gongsun Du.

This guy is considered a hero. He established a great empire in Liaodong, which is the Gongsun clan of Liaodong.

During its heyday, the Gongsun clan in Liaodong owned land in four or five counties, with a population of nearly one million and a hundred thousand armors. They attacked the Wuhuan people westward and attacked Goguryeo eastward and dominated Northeast Asia.

Of course, it is to be a minister to Cao Wei.

From Gongsun Du to Gongsun Yuan, there were four monarchs in the Gongsun family in Liaodong, and they have existed for decades.

Now Zhang Xiu is already a top-notch figure. Every move can change history. He did not say a word, but it affected what Li Ru did, which prevented Liu Biao from becoming the governor of Jingzhou.

Instead, Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and occupied Jingchu.

"If I recommend Gongsun Du as the governor of Liaodong County, then Gongsun Du will dominate the country like in history. If I keep Gongsun Du, then Gongsun Du will be the same as Liu Biao."

"There is one less prince in this world. Liaodong will inevitably be controlled by Gongsun Zan, and may eventually be controlled by Yuan Shao."

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xiu decided to keep Gongsun Du. Gongsun Du is still talented, and this person has a strong personality and can do it.

In history, he killed more than a thousand people in Liaodong in order to consolidate his rule?

Gongsun Du is very suitable for a position, Tingwei.

The Tingwei was one of the nine ministers, and he was the senior minister of the court. He was in charge of punishment, similar to the later Minister of Justice, and was a key official position.

After Zhang Xiu replaced Dong Zhuo in the future, he would definitely have to install a confidant as the Tingwei. Gongsun Du was very good.

Second, Zhang Xiu wanted Gongsun Du to go back to Liaodong and bring him back alone.

Donglai Taishici.

After thinking of this person, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but his eyes flashed.

In the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, many talents emerged. However, Taishi Ziyi was still the best among them, with a brilliant light.

Then Zhang Xiu stood up, tidied up his clothes, and in the surprised eyes of the little official, he left the study room and came to the gate to greet Gongsun Du.

Dian Wei pressed his sword to follow, following along.

"Mr. Gongsun is here, and I am missing. Please don't be surprised." Zhang Xiu bowed to Gongsun Du with a generous smile on his face.

Gongsun Du was very surprised. Although the rumors were mostly false, Zhang Xiu was a general who was nine feet tall and had an iron tower.

He looked at Zhang Xiu and then at Dian Wei. He thought Dian Wei was Zhang Xiu. Although he was surprised, Gongsun Du hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Ming Gong's words are heavy. Du is a nameless villain Xuantu, so he dare not bother Ming Gong to welcome him."

"Sir, please be polite. With your talent, how could you be an unknown villain?"

Zhang Xiu said politely.

After the two were so polite, Zhang Xiu invited Gongsun Du into the study and sat down.

"I have read General Xu's letters. I have a very good personal relationship with General Xu. I recommend Mr. Dong to Gong, which is just a small task. But I cherish Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. I am afraid that he will lead his troops to attack everywhere. There are few talents like Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.

After Zhang Xiu sat down with a big golden sword, he did not beat around the bush and said bluntly.

He is no longer the same as before. He is appointed as the Grand Sima and General of the Cavalry, and is the Supreme Duke of the court. His recruitment of Gongsun Du was not just a little bitch, but a grand ceremony.

Even Gongsun Du was the governor of Jizhou before.
