The military parade on Dragon Boat Festival was uneventful.

After all, for the important ministers in Ye who were used to seeing thousands of troops and horses, they had to ride with Gongsun Xun for more than 10,000 steps in front of Ye, and then accompany Gongsun Xun to stand on the bronze bird platform to watch.

The soldiers walked away from the stage and listened to them shouting a few words of long live and ten thousand victories... Actually, that's what it was like.

Even Lou Zibo, who used to say that a real man should lead thousands of horses behind him when he is alive, is no longer so easy to get excited after experiencing so many wars.

Because for these people who have actually been on the battlefield, ten thousand military parades are not as exciting and scary as a single assault on the real battlefield.

In fact, even Yan Gong Gong Sun Xun himself felt a little bored and absent-minded... This is understandable. After returning to Yecheng, the leader of the Yan Kingdom established many Yan Kingdom systems in one go.

However, in his base camp, he encountered many backlashes similar to those when he posthumously named his father a civil servant. Large-scale petitions and face-to-face remonstrances came one after another.

For example, some people think that although eunuchs can be recognized and cheered by the scholars for a while, eunuchs themselves are still indispensable to the palace women. It is okay to keep everything simple now, but when Yan Gong is unified

In the world, if you live in a place like the Weiyang Palace in the South Palace and the North Palace, just using guards and followers will cause substantial problems.

For another example, some people have collectively pointed out that the system of the seven prime ministers is very good, which is also an important reason why Yan Gong's establishment is so popular. However, there is no status of clan members and relatives in it, which is really worrying. So.

, they hope that Gongsun Xun can set up a special seat for the clan or relatives, or publicly announce that the clan can enter the dynasty and become the prime minister, so as to reassure people.

In addition, some military generals are also worried about the fact that the prime ministers are all civilians and are highly professional. They are also worried about the status of military personnel in the Yan Kingdom in the future.

However, the most concentrated advice came from the establishment of a reserve. This matter was really important. Only then did the self-righteous Duke Yan and the Queen Mother of Yan realize that their self-righteous mother and son's self-righteous canonical reserve system for later generations was seeking stability in the hearts of the people.

Under the thinking, it seems inappropriate!

Not to mention the large-scale memorials requesting the immediate establishment of a direct heir to establish a throne, people like Lu Fan and Tian Feng, after knowing clearly that Gongsun Xun had plans, still secretly and openly urged Gongsun Xun to give up that idea.

Create a secret reserve system and return to your direct descendants.

Gongsun Xun's worries about the quality of the future emperor's eldest son were also refuted by them with various mature Han Dynasty systems.

To be honest, the reason why Gongsun Xun and Gongsun’s wife kept a secret reserve system was not because they had any thoughts about Gongsun Ding, nor for fishing, nor to reflect on the Han Dynasty system!

The hesitation about this matter, as well as the hesitation of their mother and son about the clan's position in the national system, actually did not come from reflection on the Han Dynasty system, but came from the lessons of the so-called "future" and "Eight Kings Rebellion".

"Why not eat minced meat" and the "minorities going south" triggered by the melee of the Eight Kings are really frightening.

But it is obvious that the mother and son have ignored the basic demand of this era-stability!

What everyone wants is peace of mind, stability, and prosperity, not all kinds of uncertainty.

In fact, after four or five days of discussion, Gongsun, mother and son have now softened somewhat.

After all, the existence of the seven-phase system itself will provide some support for the phenomenon of "why not eat minced meat". As for the clan, by the same token, if the bureaucracy can strengthen stability, let the so-called clan merge into the bureaucracy.

There seems to be no need to worry too much - in any case, since the main idea is to delegate power to bureaucrats, why bother worrying about some accidents and possibilities in a state where monarchy has solemn power?

To put it bluntly, if there really is a "why not eat minced meat" and "minorities going south", there must be a big chaos in the middle, and the foundation of the country will be gone. In that case, Gongsun, who has a strong sense of historical responsibility, cannot be blamed.

On the mother and son’s head, right?

However, these are things for later, and everything can be discussed after the war. And this is the advantage of the country's early creation. As the founder and the first generation, you can revise your ideas at any time, especially the establishment of the reserve system and the clan.

These two important issues of the system are still unannounced and cannot even be called changes.

Think slowly, and when you have figured it out, you can release it directly.

At worst, Gongsun Xun would be blamed according to the ideas of those memorials - the dignified Duke of Yan, who was second to none in the world, had no dignity, and actually tried to use his son to restrain his father-in-law because his father-in-law could not bear to use force against the Han Emperor.

Then it will only cause some ridicule from future generations, but it will not lose a few hairs.

Back to the present, Gongsun Xun and the important ministers had no feelings about the military parade. This does not mean that the soldiers and people of Yexia had no feelings about the military parade.

There is no way, there is so little cultural life these days! Ordinary people hold sacrifices at certain festivals throughout the year, and they feel very satisfied and have a sense of ritual. After the Cuju competition came out, they never got tired of it, and it almost became a way to hold city fairs in the north.

Standard features, such as the dragon boat race imported from the south, are now the only new thing in the north. It was held for the first time last year under the care of Gongsun Auntie, who was not yet the Queen Mother. How had she ever seen a military parade?

The military parade ended in the morning, with dragon boats at noon, a banquet in the afternoon to see the officers and soldiers, and rewards (mainly various coupons for the Amway) to officials and sergeants in the world (actually half of them). In the evening, the elders and three elders of Wei County were invited.

, university lecturers, outstanding grassroots officials and officers and soldiers boarded the Tongque Terrace to drink with the leader of the Yan Kingdom and important ministers.

This was not over yet. At the same time as the Tongquetai banquet in the evening, Gongsun Xun waved his hand and came with a new order. He said that because the new building of Tongquetai was built and it was the Dragon Boat Festival in May, so in the next three days, Yexia

City bans, curfews, and city bans will be removed, and markets inside and outside the city will be allowed to open for three days. Amway will also open up the supply of exchange goods.

Suddenly, the excitement in Yexia obviously increased to a higher level. Many qualified restaurants and teahouses inside and outside the city were even ready to open all night... After all, the only people who have the energy to spend money in this emerging industry in the middle of the night these days are

Apart from college students, who is not a high-ranking official, and who can’t get back the lamp oil money from them?

Even among college students, how many of them are truly poor?

Gongsun Xun's strategy of recruiting scholars through science and technology only left room for the real bottom in the system, but it could not break through the barriers of hundreds of years of political and cultural traditions and economic costs in a short period of time.

"Cai Gong!"

"Master Cai!"

"Cai Guozhang!"

In the evening of that day, about three or four miles away from Tongque Terrace, that is, in the Nanshi Zhong outside the south city of Yecheng, in one of the tallest and most conspicuous teahouses, there followed a man with small eyes, an upturned nose, thick lips, and short eyebrows.

, a man with dark complexion and a green scarf on his head entered with the support of a servant. Many college students, grassroots officials and officers in the hall stood up to greet him.

"Aiya... everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down. Although today is called the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not commemorating Dr. Qu Yuan like the Queen Mother. It is because today is the so-called most evil day, and the stars are flying in the sky.

Therefore, today is the time to put aside the mundane things and rituals, play and sweat as much as possible, so as to relieve the Yang Qi and get rid of bad things and diseases... Please don't worry about me, just have a pot of tea with me, and just play the game.

..." Cai Bojie obviously drank too much on the Tongque stage, and his words were a bit loud and garbled, but he was still in a good mood, and everyone was happy to see him not pretending to be pretentious.

However, just when several students gave up their seats and were about to take advantage of Teacher Cai's tea money, at this moment, someone from above poked his head out and greeted him from a distance: "But Mr. Cai in person? My Majesty Huangfu Jianshou, my father and I

Handan Wei Gong, Zhi Jin and Ma Gong are both playing cards and drinking tea on the third floor to eat and escape the heat..."

"Oh my, are the three relatives here just by chance?! I just said that they disappeared in the blink of an eye..." Cai Bozhe was greatly moved when he heard this. He stood up immediately and couldn't wait to go upstairs.

After Huangfu Jianshou confirmed that it was Cai Yong, he quickly went downstairs to greet him. As for those students, they had already taken the initiative to help Cai Yong go upstairs. On the contrary, Huangfu Jianshou himself came downstairs.

I sat down with a few acquaintances from Kansai students and officials and drank wild bean tea.

Not to mention what is going on downstairs, there are about ten people sitting scattered on the third floor, but most of them are attendants and students who came to serve on the road. There is only one table near the window, because the night breeze here can bring cool air to Zhangshui.

Straight into the attic, so Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, Wei Song, and Ma Teng, the four "nobles" who had just returned from Tongque Terrace, sat down, but they were also very comfortable and as excited as those downstairs.

Among them, Huangfu Song had the highest status. In addition, he was the person who connected Ma Teng and the two university lecturers. Therefore, after taking a sip of warm tea, he touched the animal card and sighed: "I have lived in chaos in Kansai all my life.

But you don’t want to live like this? I’m half drunk today, just like in a dream.”

"What Mr. Huangfu said is very true," Ma Teng couldn't wait to say. "Liangzhou was in such chaos that day, and then Dong Zhuo caused chaos again. Who could have imagined that they would be able to enjoy what they are today? Plus, being half-drunk today, isn't it true?

It's like a dream... If I had known this, I would have been here long ago."

Over there, Cai Yong raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to say something, but he heard that Huangfu Song suddenly lost his temper and laughed in front of everyone, as if he had thought of something, and he couldn't help but look at each other curiously with the other three.

"But what I said is wrong?" Although Ma Teng is currently the person with the highest actual position, he still feels guilty in front of these three cultural figures.

"It's not about laughing at longevity." Huangfu Yizhen signaled Cai Yong to quickly play his cards, while shaking his head and laughing again. "I thought of the appearance of Kong Wenju on the Tongque stage tonight... I couldn't help but want to laugh."

When the others heard this, they all laughed. Even the most mature Wei Song couldn't help but scatter the animal cards in his hands.

It turns out that although Kong Rong was mainly active in the university, unlike Cai Yong, Huangfu Song, and Wei Song, he still had some political status in Ye, and he also had some serious work on weekdays, which was quite different from Ma Teng.

similar.

Moreover, compared with Ma Teng, he did not have the taboo of being demoted to the generals. On the contrary, because his family was still in prime time, it was theoretically possible for him to advance politically, so he always liked to be promoted.

It turned out to be okay, he just complained in the university, and there was no shortage of his complaints in the university. But this year, a large number of Qingzhou Confucian students who had served Yuan Shao had completed their three-year labor reform period and regained their freedom... Most of them were

An old acquaintance of Kong Rong's former official...either returned to his hometown or came to Ye to seek a living, which gave Kong Wenju some help in disguise. Then Gongsun Xun established himself as a public official again, and all seven ministers came out at the same time. In the end, Kong Rong's heart was tickled.

I couldn't bear it, I couldn't help but jump up and down!

Therefore, since Gongsun Xun returned to Ye, the former Kong Beihai has changed his writings, from the official system to etiquette, from the crown prince to the clan, from recommending Qingzhou talents to commenting on the southern military strategy.

The loyalty is beyond words.

However, Gongsun Xun remained silent and did not respond to any of his memorials. Kong Wenju was also a temperamental person. He waited for three or four days and disappeared. In addition, after the military parade, Gongsun

It is very likely that Xun will organize a war and head south directly. There will be no chance at that time, so his nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.

While watching the military parade in the morning, Kong Wenju began to make some outrageous remarks among university lecturers and students, such as, "The Northern Army has nothing to show for its appearance, but its hopes are vain." Even the soldiers and horses watching the Han Dynasty military parade in the East could not compare with that day;

Why is it that "the world has not yet been settled, so we should be so extravagant. Looking at it from this point of view, the ups and downs will work, and the South may not be unable to defeat the North in this battle." In the end, the Han family's righteousness was brought up, and those who didn't know thought he was going to be the leader again.

Where are the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty!

The results of it?

As a result, when the banquet was given in the evening, Duke Yan proposed a toast one by one. When it was Kong Rong's turn, he took the other's hand and talked sincerely about the remarks in the memorial in the past few days, saying that he was very educated and would definitely take it seriously.

Thinking about it, it's just that the war is at the forefront and needs to be postponed for the time being.

Not only that, Yan Gongfu also talked about the Qingzhou talents recommended by the other party who were "released after serving their sentences", such as Shiyi, Peng Miao, Bing Yuan, etc. He actually approved them and said that he was going to make a little investigation.

It was about to be used... At this time, Kong Rong's dissatisfaction had already flown to the Kunlun Mountains, and when Gongsun Xun earnestly asked him if he could take up the post of Taichang Temple Minister among the twelve temples in the Yan Kingdom, he was idle for five years.

After Kong Wenju's six-year promise, he actually wrote a six-character poem on the spot, praising the virtues of Duke Yan, and stating that there were five reasons why the Southern Army was bound to lose, and there were four reasons why the Northern Army was bound to win!

To be honest, if Huangfu Song and others had not heard Kong Rong’s complaints down below, they would have thought that he had been in love with Duke Yan for decades!

"From Beijing to Ye Weiwei, Duke Yan cared about the country and was selfless..." Cai Yong couldn't help laughing when he thought of Kong Rong's six-character poem. "This kind of poem cannot be written by an old man."

"What is this?" Huangfu Song shook his head and laughed. "This is not the first time that Kong Wenju has written this kind of six-character poem. After Yan Gong attacked Dong to Xiwu that day, he was as active as he is today, and he also wrote it in public.
To be continued...
