According to Chinese tradition, very few people are directly identified as "famous ministers of a generation" while they are still alive, and various allusions, anecdotes, myths and the like are derived.

But there is no doubt that Qiao Xuan is an exception.

After all, this recognized official of the Later Han Dynasty became famous too early!

Back then, in the official temple in Taiyuan, Gongsun Xun and Dong Zhuo were holding a broken knife and complimenting each other, and then they used Qiao Xuan's deeds as an example... When did that happen? The answer is Kuai Xuan.

That happened forty years ago.

And to be honest, when Qiao Xuan brought down a man with two thousand stones forty years ago, he was just a minor official in the county, while Gongsun Xun was a Sima with a thousand stones at the beginning. The difference in difficulty and level is really not the slightest bit different.

Also, when Liu Kuan had just become a Taiwei, Gongsun Xun and Yang Qiu were complimenting each other at the Taiwei's house, saying that those who did not accept the call would be tied to the front of the official temple... This actually has an allusion, and

It still has something to do with Qiao Xuan.

About twenty years ago, when Qiao Xuan was the governor of Hanyang, he recruited someone as an official. However, the other party pretended to be a celebrity and refused to go. So Qiao Xuan told him directly, if you dare to come, I will follow the instructions.

Administrative order to encourage widows to remarry, marry your almost fifty-year-old mother! It frightened people from a whole county to come to plead for mercy, and then gave up... To be honest, it is better to kill the other party!

In addition, there is also a mythical story about this bridge master, which can be written into a fantasy novel...

However, putting all this aside, for an official figure, the most convincing thing about Qiao Xuan is the words "indomitable".

These four words cannot be called idioms at this time, nor have they become allusions because they are recorded in any inscriptions or history books. However, since someone accidentally said them, they have indeed become a public opinion about Qiao Xuan in the world...

...because when he was young, this Duke of Qiao had many ups and downs in officialdom. Once he voluntarily abandoned his official position, once he was imprisoned and became a city Dan, and he was dismissed as a commoner again. So-called three ups and downs, but he never lost the slightest bit of ambition.

Of course, what Gongsun Xun didn't know was that what really bound the four words of perseverance to Qiao Xuan and spread it to future generations was actually something that had not yet happened...

"Is this Mr. Qiao's grandson?" When Gongsun Xun personally drove Qiao Xuan to the other party's mansion, a little boy wrapped in a heavy coat and sitting under the lamp in front of the door, about eight or nine years old, the so-called "general age" asked

Welcoming him excitedly.

"No." Qiao Xuan first hugged the little boy tremblingly under the car, and then explained with a smile. "This is my youngest son... If he is really a grandson, how can he be so doting on him?"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look at this old and famous official of the Han Dynasty again, and secretly admired him.

On this side, Qiao Xuan lowered his head and continued to caress his youngest son's head. He smiled and gave a few instructions, then handed the wat tablet in his hand to him, and pushed him, saying it was cold outside, and asked him to go inside first and call the servants.

After eating, he continued to hold Gongsun Xun's wrist and walked towards the door.

By the way, although Qiao Xuan was from a good background and had earned two thousand dan thirty or forty years ago, his family was simple, with few servants and very few furniture and objects. It matched the so-called official-built mansion.

, it really seems deserted.

"I also served as a general of the Liao Dynasty back then, taking charge of the military in Northern Xinjiang, but now I am old and decrepit, and I can't even speak energetically," Qiao Xuan said as he walked. "So not many people are willing to come to my place. But the interesting thing is,

Occasionally, some guests come, but they are all young people like you..."

Gongsun Xun's heart moved slightly and he couldn't help but said bluntly: "Mr. Qiao, I really made a mistake just now. If you have any advice, please speak up."

"It's not a gaffe." Qiao Xuan said disapprovingly. As he spoke, he had already stepped into the second door while holding on to the door frame. "When I was seven or eight years older than you, I was an official in Henan Yin and reported to work. So Henan Yin

Liang Buji asked me to stand and report the paperwork, and I threw the paperwork on the ground and resigned... Compared to me, what is your shrewish behavior of scolding someone behind his back? You scolded him in person, Yuan Feng

Will I kill you?"

Gongsun Xun's face turned red and he quickly let go, then took a step back and bowed to apologize again.

"Originally, at my age, I shouldn't have to ask about these things." Qiao Xuan ignored the other party's apology at all, but stopped and rolled up his sleeves and said. "Besides, I have been in the army since the reign of Emperor Shun.

I have been an official in five dynasties and have seen too much. I have no idea about these eunuchs and relatives... Have you seen eunuchs and relatives teaming up to dominate the government and evade the adult emperor? Have you seen the little emperor who was poisoned to death?

Have you passed?"

Gongsun Xun was speechless.

"However, these eunuchs and relatives are after all the servants and relatives of the Liu family, and all their power comes from the Liu family, so there is nothing to say about the hundreds of tricks they play with each other. Only," Qiao Xuan said

He suddenly sighed slightly, and the white air of winter immediately filled his face. "Only this Yuan family, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen the leader of a clan who has joined forces with the eunuch, and I don't know what Yuan's family is."

What on earth does this boy want to do..."

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel numb. He didn't dare to answer these words again.

"By the way, you kid, you said before that 'there is still something to be done about this matter', and you said that 'you have a plan in mind'... Tell me the truth, are you thinking that at this age the emperor must be cleansed?

Court. So Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and the old nobles in Luozhong will all lose power sooner or later. Then, you can take the opportunity to hide behind the emperor's minions, kill one or two eunuchs, and become famous all over the world?

"

"Yes!" Gongsun Xun had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow and agree.

"You don't have to panic." Qiao Xuan continued to stand on the second door and said casually. "I'm just used to seeing things like this, so I can guess it even with my eyes closed. It's not someone who is mature, let alone some secret agent of the school.

some type of……"

Gongsun Xun became increasingly speechless.

"However, again, if you just sit back and wait for the sky to change, how can you praise your behavior?" Qiao Xuan continued. "Even if you gain some false fame, it is just to make those mediocre people admire you. Do you think

You are a hero in the world, can't you tell that you are an opportunist or an indomitable person?"

Gongsun Xunfu thought of Tian Feng from before, and couldn't help raising his head and sighing: "What Mr. Qiao said is very true..."

"I think so too!" Qiao Xuan rolled up his sleeves and ridiculed. "You obviously had a sharp blade and had a way out, but you just pointed the knife at Duan Xi, a dead tiger who had lost his ambition, and then

Just doing some conspiracies and conspiracy in private all day long... What's the point? You are also a person who has fought in the war. Don't you know that this political matter is like a war, and political disputes are like a war. At critical moments, you still have to look at the spirit of courage and courage.

And the majestic forward formation?! Faced with this group of aristocratic families who are better than women, you don't take the initiative to fight, but you are just waiting for a chance to fight. No wonder you have been in Beijing for three months and achieved nothing!"

Gongsun Xun naturally knew in his heart that Qiao Xuan did not have any evil thoughts towards him. In addition, Tian Feng's departure made him extremely angry, so after hearing these words, he felt as if he was lost, but also enlightened, so he hurriedly

He bowed his head and thanked: "Master Qiao's teachings are deeply in my heart..."

"You don't have to take it to heart." Qiao Xuan waved his sleeves slightly and said indifferently. "I just want to see what kind of person Liu Wenrao thinks highly of, and is ready to entrust his disciple to his family... What I said

The words are just a lesson for your incompetent teacher!"

At this point, without waiting for the other party to speak, this famous minister waved his hands repeatedly: "My family has a small population, and even on the first day of the first lunar month, I only cooked a little food. You are young and have a big appetite, so you won't

I’ll leave you alone, go on your own!”

Gongsun Xun originally wanted to ask about the relationship between the other party and his teacher Liu Kuan, and whether the other party had a deep relationship with Cao Mengde as his mother said, and how he compared with Cao Mengde. He even wanted to get along with each other in an electric light.

Speak out the proactive strategy and let the other party read the details... However, after a thousand words, you can only have no choice but to bow and leave.

When they came to the door, Han Dang, Wei Yue and the other two attendants who had gone to pick up Gongsun Xun from the palace before and had followed all the way quickly gathered around him.

"Yi Gong." Gongsun Xun wiped away the sweat that had actually dried on his forehead with his hands, and called his confidants directly in front of the Qiao Mansion. "Tell me frankly, what is the standard of the guards of these high-ranking families in Luozhong?"

?”

"What do you mean, Young Master?" Han Dang was confused for a moment.

"Can you go in and out of these high-class houses easily?" Gongsun Xun asked in a low voice.

Han Dang immediately woke up and quickly replied in a low voice: "It's difficult during the day, and it's even harder to sneak into the inner room to kill people. After all, there are many brave people in these people's homes, and they have layers of protection... But if you just sneak in secretly,

Then, it would be easy to suddenly throw cold arrows in the outer courtyard to disturb them."

"Go back and change clothes. Now come with me to Wang Fu's house to cause some disturbance."

"Here!"

"Remember." Gongsun Xun suddenly grabbed the other person's arm and warned him, "Call my name!"

Han Dang was stunned.

"Just call my name!" Gongsun Xun sneered. "Just shoot an arrow and call Liaoxi Gongsun Xun to come and kill the thieves for the country! After shouting, run back! And if Wang Fu panics and closes the door, that's all. If

Send people to chase you, and then ask your wife to come out and deal with it."

"Here!" Although he still didn't understand why, Han Dang quickly agreed, then mounted his horse and went home to prepare.

"Wei Yue." Gongsun Xunfu greeted again.

"Zhonglang!" Wei Yue quickly stepped forward and held his hand.

"You have been in Luozhong for a few days, but have you ever seen a real wealthy family?" Gongsun Xun asked jokingly.

"Yue Yue only thinks that one mountain is higher than the other. I really don't know which one is the real high-ranking family." Wei Yue quickly bowed his head. "You humble boy, you have lost the face of Zhonglang."

"In that case, let me take you to see the style of the most powerful man in the Han Dynasty." Gongsun Xun said this, and he immediately mounted his horse and went straight to a certain place without stopping at all.

Wei Yue was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly followed with two attendants.

However, Gongsun Xun didn't know where he was going. Even though it was the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere was already somewhat unpleasant.

"How can your uncle be the same as an eunuch?" Yuan Shao, who was dressed in plain hemp, was talking fiercely to his uncle, who was his real "sir". "We belong to the public family.

The public family is the leader of the scholars, and our Yuan family is from Runan, so we are the natural leaders of the party members. The interaction with Yuan She, the regular servant of the party prison, has already caused dissatisfaction among the scholars in Wanluo Ruying..."

"That's your clan uncle, how can you call him by his first name?" Yuan Feng, who had been drinking the noodle porridge, raised his head indifferently and taught his concubine a lesson. "I didn't expect that this wheat rice would be so soft after being ground into powder.

As I get older, I just like this stuff... Let me go to Hebei to buy more, and let my family learn to sharpen it themselves."

Immediately after his death, his family agreed.

Yuan Shao laughed angrily when he heard this, but he could only sit back down.

"Let me tell you." At this moment, a young man with a far inferior appearance to Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneered and interjected. "My father doesn't know that my cousin is judging others by himself... He is a role model in the world, and he must do everything."

For the sake of the world, otherwise, Xiao Zhong would not have sneaked back from the thatched hermitage outside the city and admonished us so impassionedly... On the first day of the new year, my mother was scared away by him. However, he did not know,
To be continued...
