Chapter 179: Xu Gong
In 193 AD, only half a month before the winter solstice, on the lively West Street of Chang'an City, a man about twenty years old, with a wooden crown tied with hair, a handsome appearance, extraordinary temperament, and a wine pot hanging around his waist, giving people a sense of chicity and freedom. He brought a book boy and a strong man dressed in a guard, looking around curiously.
"Young Master, this Chang'an is not a pity that it is my Han imperial capital. It is much more lively than our Ji County." The book boy who was carrying a bow on his back couldn't help but say.
"When I was passing by, I heard that Chang'an City seemed to be expanding. It is said that there are 200,000 to 300,000 people in Chang'an now," said the guard next to him.
"So many" Shutong was surprised.
The man smiled and was about to take off the wine pot around his waist, the book boy suddenly said anxiously: "Young Master, you said that you can only drink five sips a day, you have already taken six sips."
The man was stunned and then said dissatisfied: "Talking nonsense, I obviously only took four sips."
"No, you took six sips"
"Wuan, your mouth is not my son's mouth. If you can't relieve your worries in one mouth, how can you make a sip? Hahaha," the man said with a smile, then opened the wine pot and took another sip, and then said: "Why can't you not be rich at the foot of the emperor? Let's stop wandering around. Let's find an inn to stay in. In a few days, I will go to visit Cai Zhonglang."
"promise"
Not long after the three left, they came to a restaurant with a plaque with "Hospitality" written on it. The man smiled and said, "Just here!"
"Yes, young master"
After the group entered, there was a waiter to greet him. After booking a house, they found a place near the street on the second floor and sat down.
"Waiter, let's have another pot of wine," the man said.
"Okay! Young Master"
"Young Master, it seems that your choice to leave Youzhou is correct. Unexpectedly, the Taifu was really defeated by Gongsun Zan, and he lost so badly." After pouring a cup of tea for the man, the guard shook his head and sighed.
"Yes! If the young master hadn't walked quickly, the Taifu's emphasis on the young master would probably have been resentful to Gongsun Zan."
After hearing this, the man sighed for the first time on his casual face, and said in a calm voice: "The Taifu is good at internal affairs and short of military affairs. Gongsun Zan's laws and regulations are indeed unkind and sheltered his subordinates, but he did not make a big mistake after all. Moreover, he was the governor of Youzhou who was personally enthroned by the court. He is legitimate. The Taifu loves the people naturally valuable, but he did look at the form wrongly."
"Young Master, the Grand Tutor will be fine, right?"
"No, no matter what, the Taifu is, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty. Now the Central Plains Alliance is looking at the world. Whether it is the General Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan, they all need the support of the court, and Shen Xiang..." The man smiled slightly.
"What's wrong with Shen Xiang?" the guard said curiously.
"Shen Xiang will never allow anyone to ignore the court, ignore the emperor, and kill relatives without any help. He will definitely send someone to pick up the Taifu himself and return to Chang'an. Therefore, although the Taifu lost his power, his life is not hindered," the man said.
"That's good, the tutor is also a good person," Shutong said with some concern.
After hearing this, the man shook his head, "Such a chaotic world comes, there is only strength and weakness, how can we get good or bad? Is General Gongsun wrong? He is not wrong either. If he doesn't advance, he will die. Confucius said, "Do not do to others what he does not want others to do to others. If we cannot do things ourselves, we are not qualified to comment on others."
"Yes, young master"
"Did you hear that? The winter solstice is coming soon, and the governors of various states have sent officials to Chang'an to offer sacrifices."
“Isn’t this a normal thing?”
"The key is that this time is different from last year. It is said that people from Central Plains have also come. I heard that in the court before the day, the Central Plains faction, which was dominated by Yuan Shu in Yanzhou, and the Guanzhong faction, which was dominated by the imperial court, were quarreling in the court, which was very lively." I saw a gorgeously dressed scholar whispering loudly on a table not far away.
"really?"
"There is still a false alarm. Yanzhou chief clerk Yang Hong submitted a report to the emperor, requesting the removal of General Yuan Shao as the governor of Jizhou. He was attacked strongly by Xu You, Congshi of Jizhou who was also honored by Youzhou chief clerk Guan Jing. Later, Xuzhou and Bingzhou envoys joined. In the end, they were the Grand Marshal, and the exit of the palace, and they were suppressed. Someone also heard that he was very dissatisfied with Yang Hong's open attack in the court, and the prime minister who did not participate in the morning court."
"Prince, why didn't you participate in the morning court?"
"The prime minister loves soldiers. He went to the camp a few days ago and came back only yesterday."
"I heard you say that, I guess there will be a big war in the future, even next year," said a scholar next to me seriously.
"Even if you are afraid of anything, as long as the prime minister is here, why should we be afraid of the world in Guanzhong?"
“Not bad, not bad”
Hearing these words, the man raised his eyebrows, held the teacup and smiled: "Chang'an is not a place in the imperial capital. The words and deeds of ordinary scholars all cover the world, which is really interesting."
"Young Master, I know the Central Plains Alliance, but what is the Guanzhong Sect?" The guard said curiously.
"The so-called Guanzhong faction should be the three forces of Guanzhong, Jizhou and Youzhou led by Shenyang. Now these two parties are the ones who control the world. The rest of Jingzhou and Jiangdong are not worth worrying. Therefore, once these two forces completely tear open their faces, the world will be trapped in a continuous war. The scope of the war will probably cover half of the Han Dynasty, and even involve the south." The man said seriously.
"Who does that young master think will win?"
"Do you think I am a god!" The man rolled his eyes at Shutong and said, "Who can tell the matter on the battlefield accurately? But at present, the Central Plains Alliance is still more powerful. First, their sphere of influence is connected together, and both Jizhou and Guanzhong can form double-teams. On the other hand, the court is different. Although Jizhou and Youzhou are connected, it is impossible to win the Central Plains Alliance without Shenxiang's joining. Moreover, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have frictions, and there is no central mediation. It is estimated that the internal fighting will begin before the external situation has begun."
"oh!!"
"Brother, I'm so good at seeing it." At this time, a handsome man in a gorgeous long dress and a jade crown walked over with a bit of curiosity and said with fists: "I'm Zheng Feng in the Zheng family."
After hearing this, the man stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I'm in Xiaji County, Xu Miao, I'm polite."
Xu Miao and Xu Jingshan served as the fourth generation of the Wei Dynasty in their previous life. They led their troops to investigate, assisted the government, were loyal to the public, punished evil, corrected unjust, false and wrong cases, and helped the people.
Later generations said: Mr. Xu is very determined and has a strong and talented person, and is very powerful. He is very arrogant and strong. He is very generous and does not instigate, and is broad but keeps his promises, and is fierce and can be generous. The sages are embarrassed by the purity, and Mr. Xu is easy for him.
This person's life is perfect. Emperor Wu came out, Emperor Wen showed up, Emperor Ming was respected, Emperor Ming was abolished, Emperor abolished, and pursued, with a long life. He was a senior official, and was a senior official, and was respected by all officials.
Less than a month after his death, Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Coup, avoiding this huge storm and becoming the famous pillar of his generation.
Therefore, the world respects Mr. Xu!!
