Gongsun Xun smiled and said: "This is Uncle Fang's personal problem. I don't know if I am here to serve..."

"It doesn't matter. The one who brought you here is my son-in-law Li Ru. The one standing here is also my son-in-law, called Niu Fu. The rest are all children of my hometown. They will follow me everywhere, and they can all be entrusted with life and death."

Gongsun Xun glanced at Li Ru, whom he had not seen clearly because of the rain, remembered his appearance, and then bowed his head to Dong Zhuo again and saluted: "In that case, Uncle Fang, let me speak frankly...you are of low origin, and you are mostly from

As a military officer from Xiliang, I come to Bingzhou to be the official of the Fang Bo position. Although everyone is afraid of it on the surface, it is only for the sake of your leader, Mr. Yuan. Deep down, I am afraid they will look down on you!"

"You..." Niu Fu immediately expressed his expression.

"Shut up!" Dong Zhuo sat on the couch, first shouted at his son-in-law, and then asked Gongsun Xun seriously on the ground. "Is there anything else?"

"Also, Mr. Dong came at a bad time." Gongsun Xun did not care about Niu Fu's behavior at all, but continued to speak calmly. "Dong Gong was born in a border county like me. Needless to say, he knew that in the next one or two years,

, there will be a war in Bingzhou, and that is the time for a man to make meritorious deeds. However, the governor inspects the counties and will return to Luoyang to report the situation in one year... By then, if Dong Gong does nothing surprising, given your background,

I'm afraid you will be sent to some poor and disadvantaged place as a prefect! But if Dong Gong can come up and set a special honor, let the court know your ability, and let you patrol Bingzhou for another year, then when we discuss where to go in the future,

I’m afraid even the top counties in the world like Hedong and Hanoi can go there!”

By the way, Gongsun Xun's words are indeed somewhat public-spirited. In his opinion, no matter how selfish Dong Zhuo is, there is no doubt about his ability in the military. If he can coordinate the affairs of Bingzhou, then this

The certainty of a battle seems even greater!

On the other side, when Dong Zhuo heard what Hedong Hanoi said, he wanted to cover it up, but he couldn't. So he simply jumped out of bed again, held the other person's wet hand and asked: "Wen Qi said this.

I thought, if I become a governor, I will definitely become a prefect in the future... But no matter how I am born, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a good commandery! Moreover, Wenqi, you are just talking about the truth, why don't you teach me

How should we act specifically?"

Hearing this, Li Ru and Niu Fu couldn't help but lower their heads and look at each other and smile.

However, before the two of them had finished laughing, they suddenly heard Gongsun Xun loudly reply: "This is easy! If Dong Gong can remove one or two thousand stones in just a moment, then the whole state will naturally be convinced, and all the princes in the court will naturally look at him with suspicion!"

Li Niu and Li Niu looked at each other again, but they both lost their sight.

"Furthermore," Gongsun Xun continued proudly. "It is bitterly cold in Bingzhou. The four counties of Hetao, Xihe, Shangjun and other places are all poor and disadvantaged. Their county guards have no power or responsibility. Those who leave will make people laugh. In fact, I do not hide it from Dong.

Duke, the governor of the three prefectures of Shangdang, Taiyuan and Yanmen, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zang Gong can be called high officials. If Dong Gong wants to establish his authority, he can only choose one of the four to attack.

Only then can we shock the world!"

"Hey, Zang Gong is both talented and virtuous, and the other three are also pillars of the imperial court. They have no evidence, so how can they get away with two thousand dan for nothing?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but put more force on his hands.

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh, but he suddenly became serious: "I'm not going to hide anything from Uncle Fang, I have something to tell you here!"

After a while, Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and sighed: "Zhang Qi is also a famous scholar in Qinghe. I didn't expect that he would do such a shameless thing? Wen Qi Qingqi came to complain. As the governor of a state, I should go to Yanmen Xi."

Investigate carefully, and then report to the court, either to clear his name or to show his guilt!"

"Why do you need Mr. Dong to come in person?" Gongsun Xun responded Lingran. "As long as Mr. Dong gives me something...I will naturally take care of this matter for Mr. Dong!"

Dong Zhuo was startled, and then suddenly he pinched his beard and laughed: "Does Wen Qi want to learn from Qiao Gong?"

"Why not?" Gongsun Xun said calmly.

By the way, the Duke of Qiao they are talking about is Qiao Xuan, a famous minister in the world. This man also has a family background of two thousand dan. Now he has reached the position of the Three Dukes early and is a very popular minister. Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, and Cao Cao and Cao Meng De are both

It was because I was particularly appreciated by him that I was able to quickly open up the situation.

Of course, the incident that Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Xun talked about was not something he did later, but a past incident that made him famous in the world when he was young.

At that time, Qiao Xuan was working as a county official in Suiyang, Liang State, his hometown. Then the governor of Yuzhou came to inspect the county like Dong Zhuo does today, so he ran over to file a complaint... Who was he suing? It was the Prime Minister of Chen State of Yuzhou next door.

A two thousand stone official. To be honest, the relationship between Qiao Xuan and this man is actually the same as the relationship between Gongsun Xun and Zhang Qi. There is a clear distinction between superior and inferior, but they are not subordinate to each other. But Qiao Xuan has to go

Complain.

After listing the other party's sins, Qiao Xuan took the initiative to ask for help to investigate the matter. At that time, the governor of Yuzhou felt that the boy in front of him was very capable, so he immediately took out his official seal and assigned a temporary position to the other party.

He went to investigate the matter.

The subsequent experience was even more interesting... The Prime Minister of Chen State couldn't play Qiao Xuan at all, so he quickly asked Luoyang for help. The general Liang Ji who presided over the government in Luoyang was the famous "Domineering General", and he had an old relationship with Prime Minister Chen Guo.

, so he immediately severely rebuked the Yuzhou governor. The Yuzhou governor was so frightened that he quickly issued another official document to revoke Qiaoxuan's identity as the person handling the case.

However, the reason why famous ministers are called famous ministers is here. Qiao Xuan used to rely on the Yuzhou governor's card to deal with a two thousand stone official here, but now he ignores the Yuzhou governor's official documents... He actually

They could return the official document, then forcibly settle the case of Prime Minister Chen Guoguo, and put the person into a carriage and send him away, and then it was settled.

After this incident, the world looked at him with side eyes, and Qiao Xuan became famous all over the world. It didn't take long for him to promote Xiaolian and then go to Luoyang to become an official.

So back to the present, this matter is very similar to what Gongsun Xun wants to do!

In short, if you can't do this kind of thing, you deserve to be killed, but if you can do it, you will be famous all over the world and respected by everyone!

Where is the benevolence and morality to speak of in this? Where is the talk of harmony between superiors and inferiors? And where is the so-called respect for superiors and inferiors? What the hell is the so-called procedural justice?

Do you really think this is the officialdom of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations?!

To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty had its own national conditions and values! On the one hand, it was the general depravity of the scholar-bureaucrats, and on the other hand, it was the individual heroes who saw through the incompetence and corruption of others, and then acted arbitrarily!

This is the case in this era. If you don't kill people and set fire, how do you qualify to be called filial and honest? If you don't be arrogant and domineering, how do you qualify to make achievements? If you don't bully your superiors, how do you qualify to be a famous official of the Han Dynasty?!

And it is precisely because of this that Gongsun Xun asked calmly: "Why not?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed even louder, but after he finished laughing, he shook his head repeatedly: "Wen Qi is so heroic, but I am a little timid. How can I dare to sign an official document appointing you to investigate the case so easily?"

At this time, Gongsun Xun also laughed: "If Mr. Dong is timid, who am I to be proud?"

You know, what he said was sincere. Dong Zhuo was timid. Are there any brave people out there?

Sure enough, Dong Zhongying immediately became serious after hearing this: "It's no joke, Wen Qi is so heroic, how can I, Dong Zhuo, be stingy when I serve as the governor? Li Ru, if you want to write an official document, I will naturally use my seal to let Wen Qi sign here.

case!"

Everyone in the room changed their expressions... Gongsun Xun entered the room for a while, and after just saying a few words, he actually wanted him to learn from Qiao Xuan to punish a two-thousand-stone official!

However, the matter was not over yet. While his son-in-law was writing official documents, Dong Zhuo suddenly took out a knife from his arms while the surrounding cronies were stunned.

"Wen Qi," Dong Zhuo explained, pointing to the knife. "This knife was dug out of the soil when I was plowing in the countryside when I was young. Considering my age at that time, I happened to be just crowned like you."

Gongsun Xun was also a little confused for a moment.

"Wen Qi, look." As he said that, Dong Zhuo suddenly pulled out the blade, and saw that the blade was as clear as water. Although the light in the room was dim, there was clearly a ball of brilliance floating from the blade.

Gongsun Xun was shocked, but he forced himself to calm down and look at it.

"Where is this knife?" Dong Zhuo pointed to the blade and explained. "The inscriptions on it have been polished until they are invisible, and only some cloud patterns are faintly visible. But no matter what, it is still blowing hair and breaking hair, and cutting iron like mud. It is considered a knife."

It's an excellent sword. I asked Cai Bojie to look at it for me when I was in Luozhong before, and he said it was Xiang Yu's Broken Blade!"

Gongsun Xun was greatly impressed: "This is even more noble!"

"It is very valuable." Dong Zhuo smiled and put the knife back into the scabbard that was obviously made from scratch, and then stuffed the knife directly into the other person's arms with the scabbard attached. "But today, Wenqi, you and I hit it off right away.

, I will give it to you! Don’t refuse...Listen to me, this knife is useful. What you and I are doing today is an example of what happened in the past of Mr. Qiao, but you, Gongsun Wenqi, are certainly young heroes, and I, Dong Zhongying,

But I still have half the heroic spirit in my old age that is not inferior to others... At that time, if I am as half-hearted as the governor of Yuzhou in the story of Qiao Gong, and actually send someone to take back your appointment, you don't need to imitate Qiao Gong and reject it, just use this knife.

Just kill the person who delivers the message!"

Everyone in the room was terrified.

And Gongsun Xun couldn't help but take a serious look at the stout middle-aged fat man in front of him again... It had to be said that he had already determined that the situation that his generation would be in later could not be explained by the words "karma and fate".

.As another "Hero of the Three Kingdoms" that I have seen, this person really has his own pride.

After thinking this, he no longer refused, but took the knife, stepped back a few steps, and leaned over to salute again, which was regarded as a thank you for the gift of the knife.

After a while, Li Ru finished writing the official document, and Dong Zhuo personally sealed it with a seal. Gongsun Xun then took it, wrapped it in oilcloth, and put it in his arms. Then, he held the short sword and saluted again, actually wanting to

Say goodbye directly!

"It's raining heavily outside." Dong Zhuo stepped forward and held the other person's arm to persuade him. "Wen Qi and I hit it off instantly. Can't you stay one night and sleep with me?"

"Since I have been appointed by Uncle Fang, I will naturally do my best!" Gongsun Xun said seriously. "I wish I could fly back to Yanmen today to help Uncle Fang remove these two thousand stones!"

"In that case, I won't stay any longer. Come on, I'll take you out." Dong Zhuo sighed.

Then, this dignified governor of Bingzhou, who was not even allowed to hold up his umbrella, actually took Gongsun Xun's hand and walked out of the door. He then watched him put on his raincoat and get on his horse and drive away. Then he returned to the official temple in the rain.

"Father-in-law!" As soon as he turned around and stepped under the porch of the official temple, Niu Fu couldn't help but praise. "I didn't expect you to have made arrangements earlier!"

"What are the arrangements?" Dong Zhuo was quite speechless. "Do you think that Gongsun Xun came here on my suggestion?"

"No, isn't it?" Niu Fu said blankly. "If that were not the case, how could he say that he had an appointment with his father-in-law and also take the initiative to 'go one or two thousand stones' for his father-in-law?"

"Stupid!" Dong Zhuo was finally angry at this guy. "I, a Liang man, came to Jin to be the governor and needed to establish his prestige. He, a Yan man, came to Jin to be the commander of another department. Don't he need to establish his prestige? He

Of course, he is helping me get one or two thousand stones, but am I not helping him get one or two thousand stones? This is called a hero thinking the same thing!"

Li Ru looked surprised, while Niu Fu still looked confused.

"Why did I blindly marry my daughter to you?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. "It would be right if I could arrange a marriage with a talented man like Gongsun Xun! Unfortunately, I no longer have any more daughters.

He has also made an engagement with Zhao Zhong's niece a long time ago... I think even an old lady can tell who a hero is, but I, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, don't know anything."

Niu Fu couldn't help but protest: "In terms of bravery, my son-in-law is also somewhat brave."

However, it was better not to say this, but after saying it, his father-in-law became even more angry and frustrated.

I saw Dong Zhuo holding his belt with one hand and pointing to the rain curtain outside with the other hand: "The soldiers outside the door are really working hard. Let them come in to take shelter from the rain. You who have the courage to stand guard over there with me! Don't do it until you arrive."

Go back to the house!”
