The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Supplement for May 11th.

——

It was none other than the Gao family's parents who came from outside the hospital.

Among the great surnames in the village, only the Gao family lived in the village pavilion, not far from the official temple. When the prefect Yin Xiu came, they knew that even if there was no notification from Xun Zhen, they had planned to come to see him, so they came very quickly. The parent of the Gao family was Gao Su's father, and he didn't bring too many people. Four or five guests who carried gifts followed, and only Gao Su was among the children of the Gao family.

After Xun Zhen killed the third clan, all the surnames in the town looked at him with admiration. Gao Su's father had also entertained him, and the two knew each other. Seeing that he was here, Xun Zhen stopped, greeted a few words, and then made a guilt to the surrounding scholars, motioning them to leave the guests and gifts outside the courtyard, and took the two of them up the steps, taking off their shoes, Enter the hall.

Although the Gao family has Yangzhai Huang as the backstage, they are only a local tyrant after all. Facing the guard of a county, the county magistrate, and the county officials who gather together, the Gao father and son are all in awe. When he entered the hall, he fell to the ground and shouted, "Xixiang people Gao Cheng and Gao Su pay their respects to the Ming Palace."

The main hall of the Xixiang Guan Temple is not big, and it is about two feet deep. Yin Xiu is sitting in the innermost part. Although it is facing the door, the sun is shining and the hall is bright, but because of his bad eyes, he still looks I don't know the appearance of the person who came, but I only saw two people roughly. Can't see clearly. He was also not interested in seeing what the two of them looked like, and habitually narrowed his eyes, showing a kind smile, and said, "Your two surnames are Gao? The first is the Chandri Gao family. Is that you?"

Gao Su had heard some rumors before that the Yingyin Xun clan and the newly arrived prefect had an in-law relationship. At this time, the prefect Wen kindly called out Xun Zhen and thought to himself, "It seems that the rumor is true. yes."

Not to mention Xun Zhen's thunderous means of killing the Third Clan, let's just assume that this rumor is true, and the millions of dollars in horse money before were worth it.

Although he relies on the power of the Huang family, he has always been arrogant and light-hearted, but when he admires the style of the ancient ranger, he doesn't really care about money, otherwise he would not have been praised by Xun Zhen that day, and he would have given up Cheng Yan's. Bond, and took the initiative to befriend Xun Zhen; secondly, he is not a person who does not know the importance of the importance, - although his family's backer Yang Zhai Huang is powerful, this Yin Xiu is not weak, not only is he now the prefect of the county, but also The background is not small, the Yin clan of Nanyang is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu, and one of the four surnamed Xiaohou in that year. Since the renaissance, there have been two queens in their family. The queens of the Han family are mostly from Nanyang. Isn't the He family who was just established as the queen at the end of last year from Nanyang? No one can guarantee that this Yin clan will have another queen in the future. He could not care about the gentry without officials and powers, but he could not help but admire the century-old nobles like the Yin clan who "shared weal and ties with the Han".

——If he was friendly with Xun Zhen in the past, it was just out of "congeniality", then now he is friendly with Xun Zhen, it is deliberate. This isn't necessarily a bad thing either. In the world of life, confidants are hard to find. It is not so much that a confidant is hard to find, it is better to say that pure love is hard to find. The friendship between him and Xun Zhen was not stable at all, and "congeniality" was only what he thought, but it was actually just his whim, otherwise he would not have fought with Wenpin in front of Xun Zhen, and now he has interests The existence of relationships may be a good thing.

His father, Gao Cheng, replied: "Returning to Mingfu, the villains are just rude villagers, digging food in the soil, how dare they be called big surnames. I have heard for a long time that Mingfu is wise and bright, and this county of Imabari is really a blessing to the villains. The villain took the liberty of preparing some gifts and asked Mingfu to accept them with a smile."

What good gift can a local tyrant prepare? Yin Xiu didn't care, nodded and said, "I came to Erxiang for the purpose of spring. 'Qingyang is activated, and the roots are born.' The season is the beginning of the earth and the air, and it is the time when all things recover. You are a farmer, you should know the "Book of Sisheng", the book says: 'Spring, the air is open, and the hard and strong black soil can be cultivated'. Now it's here. In the season of farming, today the Son of God is bright, the sages are in the court, and on the day of the beginning of spring, the Son of Heaven is still ploughing the fields, not to mention you? Instructions: 'If you don't plant in spring, you won't reap in autumn'."

"The Book of Sisheng" is an agricultural book compiled by Sishengzhi of the former Han Dynasty. Although Gao Cheng grew up in the countryside, he didn't even know a few big characters, so he had never read this book. Not only had he not read this book, but because Yin Xiu spoke too eloquently, he didn't understand half of it, and he couldn't ask questions. He didn't know how to answer.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xun Zhen spoke out and said with a smile, "Gao Weng is the most diligent and thrifty in his hometown. You can rest assured in Mingfu, he will definitely set a good example for the villagers."

After Yin Xiu finished speaking, the county magistrate Zhu Chang also encouraged him a few words.

Shortly after the Gao family left, the heads of the families of Xie, Fei, Feng, and Liu arrived in droves and went to the hall one by one.

Yin Xiu and Zhu Chang comforted and persuaded them respectively, and gave them advice and encouragement.

The Xie and Fei families are not bad. It's not that they have never met officials, especially the Fei family. They are both guests of Zhang Rang's family, and Fei Chang is also the postal supervisor of the county. Weng and the two were so grown up, and the county magistrate had never seen them several times. This was the first time they had seen a "noble man" of two thousand stones, the prefect of the county.

After seeing the surname, Yin Xiu's Xingchun in his hometown is complete. When the business is over, we can chat.

After Liu Weng, the last of the Liu family's patriarch, left the hall, he smiled and said to Xun Zhen, "Zhenzhi, the hall of your official temple is too small. Junjie from the county, but they can only wait in the courtyard. Although the spring is warmer, the fashion is still cold, standing in the courtyard for half a day, I am afraid they will freeze."

Xun Zhen left the banquet to thank him, apologized, and said, "Zhen has been in the village for a long time, and the news has been blocked. I don't know that many heroes came to this place from the Ming Palace, and they failed to prepare in time, which caused the phoenixes to suffer from the cold. The crime of Zhen is also."

Xun Zhen wasn't sure what Yin Xiu's ability was at the moment, but after a short contact, he found that the new prefect was at least not bad-tempered, like a good-tempered person. Sure enough, Yin Xiu didn't blame him, but smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you. You and I are relatives by marriage, so you don't need to be so restrained.  … I'm my own county, so I want to visit Gaoyangli and pay homage. Daxian. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of spring, I have finally achieved what I hoped. Before I came to your village, I specially visited the dragons of your family. In the past, the master praised Laozi as a dragon, and said: 'As for the dragon, I can't know that it will ride the wind and clouds. "God". For this sentence, I only knew the text and did not know its meaning; now I see the dragons in your family, and I can solve the master's sigh! There is no false person under the famous name! It has benefited me a lot. I only regret two The dragon dies early, and the six dragons travel far away."

Among the eight dragons of the Xun family, two have passed away, one is Xun Yue's father Xun Jian, the head of the eight dragons, and the other is the three dragons Xun Jing (shuci). The six dragon Xun Shuang (Ci Ming) traveled far away.

Yin Xiu sighed and said regretfully: "I heard that Xu Zijian praised Shuci and Ciming: 'Both of them are jade, Ciming is bright on the outside, Shuci is moist on the inside'. , Ciming is unparalleled'. Alas, unfortunately, one of Shuci and Ciming passed away, and the other was not at home, so I couldn't ask for advice." Listening to what he said, he was very fascinated by Xun Jing and Xun Shuang.

Xun Zhen said in her heart, "The one who married the Yin clan was the daughter of Liulong Xun Shuang. The person who married her remembered her name as Yin Yu. I don't know what kind of clan relationship she has with this Yin cultivator?"

Xun Cai, Xun Shuang's daughter, died two years after her marriage. Xun Shuang loved his daughter and couldn't bear her to be a widow, so he found her a husband, who was Yangzhai Guo's son. Xun Cai was reluctant and committed suicide because of it. Although the Han Dynasty was not deeply restrained by the etiquette and did not pay much attention to the chastity of women, and it was common for widows to remarry, in the final analysis, Xun Shuang did not do it well, and did bad things with good intentions, so he forced his daughter to death because of this. His original intention was, after all, embarrassing.

Xun Zhen and Yin Xiu unanimously chose to avoid the matter without mentioning it. There are two reasons for avoiding it.

On the one hand, Xun Zhen is a person with "big plans". In order to better realize his "big plans", of course, he is eager to get the support of the prefect of this county.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, the subordinate officials of the county are mostly from the county, while the prefect is from the outside county. When a prefect from a foreign country came to this county, in order to make the decree go smoothly, he had to get the support of the local gentry and surnames. A tyrannical prefect can surely make a county tremble, but if the prefect is cowardly, he can't suppress the local clan, but it is inevitable that the weaker and the weaker will be strong. A decade or two ago, there were two ballads: "Fan Mengbo, the prefect of Runan, Hua Nuo, the owner of the Nanyang sect. Cen Gongxiao, the prefect of Nanyang, and Hongnong Chengyuan but sitting roaring", referring to this situation.

Zongzi, a native of Nanyang, served as the prefect of Runan, and appointed Fan Pang, a famous person in the county, who was as famous as Liu Biao and others and called "Eight Jun of Jiangxia", as the county meritorious officer. That's it. When Cheng Yu, a native of Hongnong, was the prefect of Nanyang, he used Cen Ye, a famous person from his own county, who was also listed as the "Eight Jun of Jiangxia", as the county meritorious officer~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As a result, the power was also in the hands of Cen Ye, he had nothing to do, only "but" Sitting down."

Although Yin Xiu is not arrogant and is willing to compromise and be cautious in order to seek perfection, since the county, he has successively summoned the children of this county, promising to entrust them with important responsibilities. Specializing in Jingxian's promotion of Jun, but this does not mean that he is willing to be like Zongzi and Chengyuan, "mainly painting promises", "but sitting Xiaoxiao". ——Yes, Zong Zi got a "Ren Shan name" because of "the main painting promise", "he heard in the world", but is such a "Ren Shan" praising him or demeaning him? Are these two ballads praise or praise? Thousands of generations, know that I have sinned against me, it is only the spring and autumn. The merits and demerits are recorded in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and later generations will comment on it.

For this reason, Yin Xiu also wanted to show his favor to Xun, hoping that he could use Xun's name in the state and county to help him.

With this thought in mind, he would not take the initiative to mention Xun Cai's suicide, regretting that "two dragons died early, and six dragons traveled far away", and then said with a smile: "Zhenzhi, you have been in Zhilan's room for a long time, and you have often suffered Being nurtured by all the sages, it is no wonder that the ability is excellent and the morality is outstanding. ... Zhu Gong, you told me in the county today that the Xun family is now the old dragon in front, and the young phoenix milk tiger in the back. Said Zhenzhi: ' I can travel thousands of miles with a heavy load. I was suspicious. I went to Xixiang now. I saw and heard along the way. The word tiger is well deserved."

The county magistrate, Zhu Chang, smiled.

Xun Zhen said respectfully: "Zhen has been educated under Brother Zhong since he was young, and all the fathers in the clan are all wise, but he is stupid and stubborn by nature, and he has not achieved anything so far. In front of the Ming Palace and the throne of the county lord, how dare you speak of virtue, the last boy? I am ashamed of praise."

He and Yin Xiu each had their own demands, one praised and the other thanked, and the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious.
