In fact, Gongsun Xun and Han Sui were not very familiar with each other... During his stay in Luozhong, he tried his best to communicate with these characters, but it was really difficult for an uncrowned white scholar to win people's trust.

After all, people like Xu You who are greedy for money are a special case, and Lu Fan is really a pauper from a humble background. As for Han Sui and Han Wenyue in front of him, he was famous in Xiliang when he was very young, and then he was promoted as a filial piety as soon as he was crowned.

Lian, after coming to the capital, also made friends with people like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao... The two parties were introduced by Xu You, met twice, and just exchanged names.

Not even a handshake!

At this moment, it was these two slightly unfamiliar acquaintances, sitting in the same car, swaying towards the city of Luoyang.

"It's blocked again." Han Sui supported the car and said with a smile. "It was like this when we came, and it's still like this when we left. Didn't these people think that this road was blocked and just go around it?"

When Gongsun Xun heard this, he immediately turned around and said, "Go around to the west gate and enter the city through the White Horse Temple."

"Oops." The car turned a corner and looked at the mess at the North Gate of Luoyang. Han Sui continued to laugh. "The North Gate is blocked like this. Fortunately, Cao Mengde is no longer the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang. Otherwise, thousands of people would be killed with sticks today.

Human!"

At this moment, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh too... because it was really funny to think about it. Cao Mengde beat the eunuch's uncle to death because he broke the curfew. This time it was his turn to tell Yuan Benchu's guests

, or thousands of people broke the curfew together because of the traffic jam. If they were still in that position, should they ignore it despite the eunuch's resentment and ridicule, or just ignore it?

"Come to think of it." After the detour, the car drove onto a relatively empty road, and Han Sui suddenly became serious. "The reason why I can get along with Yuan Benchu ​​is because of the introduction through Cao Mengde's letters..."

"I see."

"Think about it. Yuan Benchu ​​was known as the 'model in the world' in one day. His mother passed away, and three thousand guests came to express their condolences..." Han Sui continued seriously. "There is no way to get into his eyes."

Gongsun Xun kept silent. After all, the other party was originally ordered to investigate the crime. Now that he has said it, it may be difficult for him to deal with it. No matter what, it is disrespectful to yell in front of the grave of his mother who just passed away. After all, he will be criticized by so many people.

Everyone has seen it with their own eyes, and there is no way to shirk it... And this matter is not a big deal or a small matter.

"Speaking of which, Gongsun Shaojun, does he know why Yuan Benchu ​​became the 'model for the world' and not his legitimate brother Yuan Ji or his legitimate brother Yuan Shu?"

The expected interrogation did not come, but instead it was a question that seemed to have been settled for a long time.

"Isn't it said that Yuan Benchu ​​was born with martial prowess and acquired diligence?" Gongsun Xun seemed to have the only answer.

"I don't think so."

Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his head to look at the other party, only to find that under the dim light of dusk, the other party was looking at him with a half-smiling smile.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Gongsun Xun couldn't help but speak first: "I'd like to hear the news and ask you to meet me."

"Although Yuan Benchu ​​has his outstanding qualities, is there only one outstanding person in the world, Yuan Benchu?" Han Sui said with a solemn smile. "I, Han Wenyue, ask myself that I am also a great man of my generation, so why can't I be a model for the world? You brothers, Gongsun, can also be regarded as Liaoxi.

Junjie, why can't he be a model for the world? To put it bluntly, the four words "model for the world" and the three thousand guests today are probably due to the fact that the Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third prince. So, if it were Yuan Jiujiu, the situation would be the same today.

Almost the same.”

Gongsun Xun nodded slowly: "What Brother Wenyue said hit the point, but after all, Yuan Benchu ​​stood out from the brothers and gained the appreciation and recognition of the older generation..."

"Do you really stand out?" Han Sui sneered. "Do the two Dukes of Yuan, especially Duke Zhou Yang (named by Yuan Feng), really value the son raised by their little servant?"

Gongsun Xun no longer dared to talk easily at this time. God knows what happened to this unfamiliar Korean date?

"Children of aristocratic families should each perform their duties." Han Sui ignored the other party's reaction, but asked and answered his own questions, and explained Yuan Shao's current situation from another refreshing perspective. "The third son of the Yuan family,

Everyone has their own interests..."

What's the meaning?

According to Han Sui, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​were probably the most famous family in the Han Dynasty. There was no bias in the role arrangement of the next generation of the Yuan family.

For example, Yuan Ji is the eldest son, and his role is to be a household dog. His duty is to read the "Mencius Book of Changes" passed down by his family, and then inherit the title, like his uncle Yuan Wei, and become a three-gong and nine ministers in the future;

For another example, Yuan Shu is the second son. He wants to move up quickly and become the best official and the most powerful official. The sooner the better, the sooner the better. He and his brother Yuan Ji are in the same position.

Retreat, slow down, take care of each other... Many people say that Yuan Gongli was able to become a super-ranking official when he was about thirty years old. This is not without reason;

As for Yuan Shao, in a sense, he is a kind of venture capital, which may even be contrary to what most people think... He is actually an outcast in the family to a certain extent because of his origin!

After all, being too prominent as a scholar these days involves taking risks. You must know that the last "model in the world" was beaten to death by eunuchs in prison.

"But we have to take this risk," the car moved forward slowly along the official road outside the moat, but Han Sui suddenly stopped talking. "Does Gongsun Shaojun understand the truth behind this?"

Gongsun Xun had already been fascinated by what he heard. When he was suddenly asked, he blurted out: "Could it be that the party leader is absent?!"

"Wonderful!" Han Sui clapped his hands violently. "That's right. Gongsun Shaojun is also a smart man... Then do you know who were the leaders of the party before?"

"There are too many world-famous figures among the party members, but when it comes to the word leader, I can't think of many." Having said this, Gongsun Xun let go. "If I say it wrong,

Brother Wenyue, don’t be offended.”

"Let me try to explain." Han Sui said without thinking.

"Can the father of today's Henan Yin Zhuye, Nanyang Zhu Mu, be regarded as a former party leader?"

"The descendant of Prime Minister Zhu Mu, a giant of the Nanyang clan, and the first to advocate the elimination of eunuchs. If he is not a leader, who is? He is indeed an out-and-out party leader."

"Then, the leader of the three monarchs, Taiwei Chen Fan, who was born in Runan... This should be the most uncontroversial?"

"This is natural, no need to say anything."

"And... the last 'model in the world' is Li Yuanli. Yingchuan Li Yuanli should also be considered a leader, right?"

"Li Yuanli is the party's most famous person, and he is indeed a leader." Han Sui nodded and smiled. "That's it for now... I never thought that Gongsun Shaojun was such a smart person, with such a clear mind!

"

Gongsun Xun also laughed.

In fact, the key to the conversation between the two is not the names of these three people, but the place of origin of these three leaders - Nanyang, Runan, and Yingchuan.

The theory of party members originated in Hebei, but in fact, it was the scholars from Runan, Yingchuan, and Nanyang counties that shook the world. After all, Ru, Ying, and Wanluo are one and the same.

But, then again, Henan Yin Zhuye’s father, Nanyang Zhu Mu, died of grief and anger after the first party disaster; the world’s model, Yingchuan Li Yuanli was tortured to death after the second party disaster; among the three monarchs

First of all, Lieutenant Chen Fan, who was born in Runan, was dragged into prison and killed on the spot during the September coup... Since then, the position of leader of the party has been vacant!

And since it is vacant, anyone can compete for it.

For example, the Hongnong Yang family of the Three Generations and Three Dukes is obviously on the verge of making a move, and the princes of Guandong, such as a few of the Eight Chefs, are also a little uneasy... How do you want the Runan Yuan family to deal with themselves at this time? In the final analysis,

Although Yang Ci has an outstanding position, he is from Hongnong and Guanxi after all, and the backbone of the party has always been people from Ru, Ying, and Nanyang counties... Everyone is looking forward to it!

And besides, the Yuan family's standing aside during the last two calamities caused by the Party's imprisonment has aroused great dissatisfaction among the scholars. If this continues, do you really think that the Party members are like open pits, able to come and leave as they please?

Even the superior Liu family cannot ignore party members, how about you Yuan family?

Therefore, whether taking the initiative or being forced, unless the Yuan family of Runan wants to seclude themselves from the scholars of Ruyingwanluo, it is impossible for them to give up their position as the leader of this party.

So at this time, this little maid gave birth to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who was adopted by an empty disciple and had good abilities. Wouldn't he be the best candidate?

If one day things really come true, the eunuchs will be killed, and the party will flourish, then Yuan Benchu ​​will naturally be able to take the Yuan family to a higher level; if it doesn't work out, Yuan Shao will have to give up as he has "no father, no mother, and monopolizes his own sect."

"This is the way of an aristocratic family!" Han Sui sneered. "If Yang Cifan can have two more decent sons, why does he need to show up personally?"

Gongsun Xun kept silent... In fact, he had no doubts about Han Sui's statement at this time.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't really matter whether Yuan Shao himself is better than Yuan Shu or Yuan Ji, as long as he is not too bad; it doesn't matter whether Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei love or hate this son, as long as they are willing to put their resources and family

Just give the name to the other party; it doesn't even matter whether Yuan Benchu ​​himself is active or passive... The real key is that since the bloody September coup, Ruying Wanluo's scholars have been suppressed

For seven or eight years, they were so hungry that they really couldn’t wait any longer!

At this time, there must be a leader from heaven who can unite everyone! And since Yuan Shao is better than they imagined, he can naturally accept Li Yuanli's passing on the first day and become a model for the world!

"Understood!" Han Sui couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the other party was silent for a long time. "What happened to Yuan Benchu ​​today was just a show for the world to watch by the scholar Wan Luo Ruying. You said that your brother is a sideshow?"

Is that bumpkin from the county actually really angry about this matter? Doesn’t he know that Yuan Benchu’s place has no place for our border county scholars to stay?!”

Gongsun Xun sat cross-legged in the car, bent down and saluted the other party... because he knew that the other party was here to defend his brother, not to accuse him.

"However, although your brother is a bit duller, I still look at him particularly highly." Han Sui suddenly said seriously. "The Central Plains scholars of that generation have a very high self-esteem and regard us and other people from the border counties as nothing. In this case, why not

Why don't you just walk away like your brother and save yourself the trouble! In this regard, he is better than me, Han Wenyue!"

Gongsun Xun sighed: "Having said that, an elder once reminded me when I came here that in the mainland, eunuchs and officials are at odds with each other, and although we are from the surrounding counties, we have to choose one of them.

...In this situation, we can't rely on eunuchs, right?"

"It's not necessary to seek refuge with the eunuchs." Han Sui remained serious. "But you must also show some self-love in front of the scholars..."

"This is the problem." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "Self-love requires something to rely on. Brother Wenyue is about to be sent back to Xiliang when his official term expires. If he has troops and horses by then, he will naturally have

So, we brothers are just going to Beijing to study..."

"This is another thing I want to talk to you about." Han Sui also shook his head and said. "You brothers are not incompetent people. On the contrary, you have so many abilities that you misunderstood yourself and had a lot of trouble."

I think... you can become the disciples of Lu Gong and Liu Gong and be valued by them. This is the best that a few scholars from the border counties can achieve! Going forward, I really think that those people from the Central Plains will open their doors and look at you.

Am I waiting for the confidant Humerus?"

At this point, Han Sui couldn't help but knock on the outer eaves of the car and reminded: "You must know that our border people will eventually end up at the border. Although Luoyang is good, it is really not the place for you and me to use it!"

Gongsun Xun quickly bowed down again: "Thank you, Brother Wenyue, for your advice!"

"I don't dare to give you advice." Han Sui also sighed. "I just expressed my feelings today. Besides, the world is full of chaos, and I don't know when the situation will become obscure. You and I are both border commanders.

We are born in such a close relationship, so why not make acquaintance so that we can meet each other easily in the future."

After hearing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but said: "May I ask Brother Wenyue, why do you say that the situation in the world is obscure and difficult to understand? Peace is rare in the world nowadays..."

Han Sui became more and more helpless after hearing this: "I won't hide it from you. Although I don't know what it is like in other places, our place in Liangzhou has been in chaos since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Although the imperial court has been able to suppress it every time through hundreds of years of conquests,
