"Have you actually been charged?" By the candlelight, a tall and thin figure reflected on the wall was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help but shook his head sadly. "I don't want to leave home for several years, but be so unruly, and I don't know the future.

When you leave office and return home, how should you face the incense in the ancestral hall?"

"Teacher, there is no need to be harsh. Senior brother is just like other powerful people in the world. He uses his family background to hide and protect lawless people." A tall and strong figure opposite was somewhat unconcerned. "In today's world, it seems that people acting like this are acting like this.

It's a matter of course. Even Uncle Fang only punished him a little because the Lu family was the top of the local family and it would be difficult to attack others if he didn't deal with it... Even so, it was just a penalty and no loss of dignity.

.”

"Where were you when Governor Guo sent people to break into my house and capture your senior brother?" The tall and thin man, naturally Lu Zhi, sat cross-legged on the futon and glanced at the person in front of him with neither happiness nor anger.

"I...I'm capturing lawless people elsewhere." The strong man, Gongsun Xun, couldn't help but look around.

"Why didn't you go capture your senior brother?" Lu Zhi chased after him.

"Ha!" Gongsun Xun laughed out of embarrassment. "How can there be a student in the world who breaks down the door of his own teacher?"

"Why not?" Lu Zhi continued to ask.

"Because there is no bad teacher in the world!" Gongsun Xun responded solemnly. "At least that's what everyone in the world thinks."

"You came here tonight just to say this, right?" Lu Ziqian asked calmly, as calm as an unfathomable lake. "You know that I was the one who hindered your tenure in the past few years. In the end,

At least from Liaodong to Zhao State, I was the one behind the scenes, so you are now looking for me to give an explanation, show your grievances, and then want me to evade the selection of the commander to help you succeed...right?"

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while. This is why he hates talking to such smart people. He will always choke you to death if he can't hold it in.

"Wen Qi." Lu Zhi continued to ask. "Do you think I will promise you?"

Gongsun Xun was deep in thought for a long time before he responded with a sigh under the lamp: "Teacher is full of talent and knowledge, and he is loyal. He only serves the country and the country. He has abandoned his family for more than ten years. How could he give up because of my personal request?"

How about putting an end to chaos in the country?"

Lu Zhi sat still: "If you know this, why did you come to me?"

"I always wanted to try it." Gongsun Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I have already gone to look for my father-in-law in the afternoon. I hope he can avoid me and save me from having to come here in vain. After some hard persuasion, my father-in-law

Your Excellency really promised me, so I just thought of coming to your place again to give it a try, maybe there is hope..."

"Wen Qi." Lu Zhi said sternly. "Although your father-in-law is loyal, he only has an only daughter, so he will naturally agree to you. But if you infer from this that I will be in vain for my personal affairs..."

"Teacher." Gongsun Xun suddenly stood up and interrupted the other party. "I am here to serve as a general. How can I be wasting my official duties? When it comes to people, shouldn't we judge the deeds but not the heart? Now that the country is in this situation, do you still want to do it?

Because someone has no fear of someone in his heart, should he restrain himself? No matter what this person is, he is better than those pure Confucian gentlemen who have accomplished nothing, right? The country is in such a situation, who is responsible for it?!"

"I'm not saying that you can't do it." Lu Zhi replied after a while. "What I'm saying is, since I can go there by myself, why should I use you? This time I'm fighting for the general, I just happen to be facing you. It's true.

I have no intention of suppressing you, and I am truly sorry..."

"Teacher, what you do is worthy of your heart, and what I do is also worthy of my heart!" Before the other party could finish speaking, Gongsun Xun angrily walked away. "Just wait and see!"

Under the chaotic candlelight, Lu Zhi remained firm and motionless.

By the way, the place where Lu Zhi lives is still on the east side of Nangong. This area is the so-called "public housing" provided by the imperial court to the young and old officials who enter Luo. However, in fact, except for some people whose families are poor or who have come from afar to stay in Luo Zhong for a short time,

Apart from human beings, few people would live here for a long time. Of course, Lu Ziqian is an exception. From the time he was recruited to Dongguan to compile history, and later he became Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of the election and appointment of officials all over the world, he has always lived here alone.

It's just a place where I was promoted to a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and my residence was a little higher-grade.

"Wen Dian."

"brother"

Gongsun Xun stood in front of the door of Lu Zhi's residence, but he called out to Gongsun Fan who was waiting here, and the latter immediately responded.

"You have been in Luoyang for a long time," Gongsun Xun said with his hands behind his hands, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. "I have something entrusted to you."

"Brother, just say it bluntly."

"Go and buy some concubines and beautiful maidservants for Master Lu who are clean in everything and come and serve them." Gongsun Xun stared at him expressionlessly and said, "I want the kind that can give birth to children..."

Gongsun Fan stood stunned for a moment, he hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he could only say yes under the gaze of his brother.

After saying such an embarrassing thing, the two brothers did not take a car or ride a horse. They only walked out of the area on the east side of Nangong, surrounded by a few attendants, until they reached the dimly lit street where cars and horses continued.

Only then did he get into the car, and the attendants also mounted their horses, escorting their master to Liu Kuan's place.

Luoyang at the end of March was not depressed because the Yellow Turban Uprising swept away most of Guandong. On the contrary, due to a strange and tense atmosphere, Luoyang actually seemed to be a little more lively than usual. Looking around, there were servants of wealthy families everywhere.

Roads were opened on all sides, and chariots, horses and ceremonial guards also moved everywhere.

For those who don’t know, I might think that the New Year is approaching!

The car was moving very slowly. Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Fan were sitting in the car chatting constantly. At this time, they were talking about various news from Luozhong. It was probably that the current situation was too serious and tense, and it was also unclear.

As they talked, they found that they couldn't proceed at all. Instead, they could only talk about some anecdotes in Luozhong before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"Brother, I don't know." Gongsun Fansha said with a smile. "There are often sharp newcomers in Luozhong who are famous in the world. But before the Yellow Turbans rebelled, just like my brother's White Horse Zhonglang became famous in Luozhong in the past, the Yushitai was also famous at that time.

There happened to be a person who liked riding horses, so he was known as the Censor of Cong Horses. This person repeatedly impeached eunuchs and picked up the eunuchs' children. He was just as ruthless as Cao Mengde killed Uncle Jian Shuo when he came out of the mountain that day..."

"I have heard about this man." Gongsun Xun had also heard about it. "Huan Dian, his grandfather was a Taiwei, and his family has been married to Yuan Yang for several generations. It is a well-known Confucian family in the world. If it weren't for Huan Dian's father being weak and sick, he had never been an official.

, and now he is also a minister of the past... When the heir of such a family comes to serve as an official, even the eunuch must be given some face."

"Brother is absolutely right." Gongsun Fan replied calmly. "However, in fact, in recent years, the arrogance of the eunuchs has been too arrogant, and almost no one can control it. Therefore, the Congma Yushi once targeted the eunuchs' children and got good results.

Great reputation."

"I know." Gongsun Xun couldn't help sighing after hearing this. "I have been in Hebei for several years. How could I not know that the world has not been straight to Beigong for a long time?!"

There was some ambiguity in this sentence, and since he was on the street, Gongsun Fan didn't know how to respond for a moment, and Gongsun Xun also noticed it, so he couldn't help but laugh to cover it up.

The two brothers were silent for a moment, but when Gongsun Fan calmed down and was about to change the topic, his body suddenly swayed... It turned out that a car suddenly stopped in front of the two people's car, forcing them to stop.

He said that the people in the car on the opposite side stood up and shouted Gongsun Xun:

"Wen Qi! But Wen Qi came to Luoyang?"

Several knights behind him had angry expressions on their faces... When it came to Gongsun Xun, few people could actually call him by his name anymore, let alone someone like the man in front of him who stopped a car in the street and then called his lord by his first name?

Moreover, looking at the shape of the opponent, there is no seal on his body, and the beam crown is just a beam, as if he is a white body!

However, when Gongsun Xun heard this voice, he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Ziyuan, you are fine!"

"Oh, so what if I'm fine? How can I compare to Wenqi, who has a purple ribbon and a golden seal, and was granted the title of general at such a young age?" Xu You, who was in the opposite car, was pretending, twirling his beard and sighing.

Gongsun Xun laughed more and more, but he winked at Gongsun Fan, and then got out of the car directly and went to the other party's car. Gongsun Fan had no choice but to say goodbye with a slight hand, and went back first.

Gongsun Xun and Xu You watched Gongsun Fan's car disappear on the road, then they looked at each other and smiled, and then drove the car straight to the side of the road... It turned out that these two people had similar odors and called themselves close friends. They had always known each other.

of:

Gongsun Xun knows that as long as you promise money, Xu Ziyuan will do his best to help you; and Xu You also knows that Gongsun Wenqi is an honest person, as long as you help him accomplish things or provide valuable services.

message, then your money will never be lost!

Therefore, the two of them didn't even have any foreplay, and just took advantage of the twilight to cover up their business, and started trading straight to the point at the entrance of the roadside alley in Luoyang city.

"Wen Qi doesn't know yet?" Xu You couldn't help laughing in a low voice. "After Huangfu Song's memorial was delivered the day before yesterday, the emperor also knew that the eunuchs had to listen to the opinions of the eunuchs regarding the party's imprisonment, so he summoned all the eunuchs this afternoon.

The attendant asked about this matter, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Lü Qiang and Lü Changshi bluntly said that the current situation is critical. If the party cannot be restrained, the party members may join forces with the Yellow Turban thieves, and the Han Dynasty will be unsafe!"

"How did the emperor and the other ministers react?" Gongsun Xun asked seriously.

"How can you react?" Xu You was still disdainful. "The emperor immediately lost his temper... He has been so frightened these days! And although the regular attendants are full of resentment towards Lv Changshi, they can't refute it. To be honest, Wen Qi

, after decades, this matter of party imprisonment will finally come to an end, and the situation in the court will not be the same as it was in the past."

Gongsun Xun nodded slowly... The party members who were supervised by the party were originally concentrated in Ruying Wanluo in Henan and Qinghe in Hebei. The Weijun area is now the main place where the Yellow Turban Army is entrenched. From the emperor's point of view, that is,

No wonder you are worried.

But having said that, if the Han Dynasty had not lost all the people in these places, how could the Yellow Turban Army have quickly raided these places?

After thinking about this, Gongsun Xun suddenly asked a somewhat absurd question: "Brother Ziyuan, tell me the truth. The Yellow Turban thieves suddenly seized Qinghe and raided Yingchuan, Runan, and Nanyang. Is it because of you?"

Xu You was startled when he heard this, but then shook his head: "I understand what Wen Qi means. In fact, if you say that you indulge a little intentionally or unintentionally, maybe you do, but if you talk about secretly colluding to force the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid it's

Some people think that I have waited for you! If nothing else, the Yellow Turban bandits have raided more than 20 counties in one month. If there is really collusion, we will not ask people to be expelled from the party... and just let them go to Luoyang.

Is it not good?"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head, as if he felt that he had indeed overthought: "Brother Ziyuan... let me ask you something again, is Huangfu Song your secret contact?"

Xu You still shook his head: "I can vouch for this matter with Wen Qi. Indeed, it has nothing to do with us. It was Huangfu Yizhen who suddenly submitted a letter... In fact, to be honest with Wen Qi, Ben Chu did have this theory before, and he is responsible for it.

It is I, Xu You, who is responsible for this matter. We originally wanted to wait for the generals to enter Luo before contacting each other privately. Who would have thought that Huangfu Yizhen would have the legacy of his uncle and act with such discernment!"

What Xu You is talking about about his uncle's legacy refers to the story of Huangfu Song's uncle, Huangfu Gui, one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou in the past.

It is said that when Emperor Huan launched the first party ban, everyone avoided it, but Huangfu Gui actually took the initiative to write to the court, saying that he had always envied the knowledge and morality of those party members, and asked the court to treat him as a party member...

Emperor Huan was not the emperor he is today. He knew better than anyone else, so he ignored it and threw the memorial away.

However, from then on, scholars no longer regarded the Huangfu family as a simple family of generals, but as one of their own.

In other words, whether he really wants to get closer to the nobles or is good at speculation, this is not the first time that the Huangfu family has done this kind of thing.

As for the Gongsun family? If someone really had the foresight, there would be no need for Gongsun Xun to risk his life and accompany Yang Qiu in Luozhong to chop up Wang Fu as dumpling stuffing.

But now, Huangfu Song's flamboyant memorial has once again suppressed Gongsun Xun... It can only be said that in terms of speculation alone, it is really irritating to people. No wonder Gongsun Xun was filled with emotion after hearing this.

"Wen Qi." Xu You twisted his beard and said with a smile when he saw this. "Since the party's openness has become a foregone conclusion, then the DPRK will definitely mobilize a large number of troops to go out to fight. Although you arrived first this time, you were overtaken by others...
To be continued...
