The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Supplement for May 19th.

—

That night, after Xun Zhen came out of Xun Kui's house, he went to Xun Qu's house again. Xun Qu was not like Xun Wan, he had nothing to say, he only dragged him to play a game of Go, and then sent him back. Xun You, Xun Qi, Xun Cheng, and other clansmen who were close friends with Xun Zhen had been waiting at his house for a long time, and after talking for a while, they agreed to come back tomorrow morning to see each other and leave.

The next day was only bright, and Xun Zhen was awakened by the neighing of the horse outside the window. She put on her clothes and pushed the window to watch it. She saw that Xiao Xia and Xiao Ren were packing their bags, bridging their horses and saddling them.

Although sleepy, he did not want to sleep. He said to Xun Qian yesterday, "Suddenly on the right side of the county, turn sideways and feel uneasy." This was not a polite remark, but his sincere words. Promotion is of course a good thing, but his shoulders suddenly became heavier. Can we take this post supervisor well, and can we fulfill Xun Qian's request: love the people, and at the same time don't cause trouble for the clan?

After sending Xun You and the others away last night, he didn't sleep well all night, he seemed to be sleeping.

When going to Yangzhai this time, Tang Er went with him. She also got up very early, prepared the meal, waited for him to get dressed, called Xiao Xia and Xiao Ren, and sat down to eat together. - In order to win over people's hearts, Xun Zhen always sits at the same table with Xiao Xia and Xiao Ren during meals. Xiao Xia and Xiao Ren have no pressure, they are only excited. Not only were they excited about Xun Zhen's promotion to the post of the county governor, and they followed the tide, they were also excited to go to the county seat of this county, Yangzhai, a large county. The wind and clouds also swept away the porridge and cakes. The two of them wiped their mouths and waited eagerly for Xun Zhen to eat almost, and asked impatiently, "Mr. Xun, let's go?"

Xun Zhen smiled and threw the chopsticks and stood up: "Let's go." No matter how much pressure there was, on the surface he was calm.

Xun You, Xun Qi, Xun Cheng and others came one after another. Besides them, there were more than a dozen other people from various rooms who had heard the news. Everyone sent him to the door, just in time to meet Wenpin.

A goodbye, without further ado.

In the end, Xun You held a piece of slender willow in both hands, long bowed to the end, and said, "You are the postal governor of the county, and in the future, you will often ride a car and ride around the county. The road is long and there are many risks. If you have a long trip, you must choose a good day before you go, and don't forget to worship the ancestors of the Tao. You will be traveling now, and your heart will be nourished." "Raising" means worry and uncertainty. "Daozu" is the **** of traveling in Qin and Han Dynasties. It is very dangerous to ride a horse or ride a car. Accidents of falling off a horse and crashing from a car frequently occur. The former Han Liang Wangsheng fell off a horse and died, and Han Anguo, a minister during the reign of Emperor Wu, was crippled because of the crash. The princes and ministers are not exempt, not to mention the commoners and county officials. The post of the county governor is to patrol the counties within the department. It is foreseeable that Xun Zhen will ride horses and cars a lot in the future. Xun You is deeply in love with him, and it is inevitable that he will be worried about this.

Xun Zhen replied: "'The body is hairy and the skin is affected by the parents. Don't dare to damage it. It is the beginning of filial piety'. Zhenhui will be cautious."

"Now that I parted ways with you, You have a word to give."

"Please say."

"'The Jiahui is difficult to meet again, and the joy is very rare. May you respect the virtues and love Jingguang at any time'."

Xun Zhen said sternly: "The good words of the public, Zhen must remember." After finishing the words, he bowed to everyone. Everyone bows back.

Xiao Ren came forward and took over their parting gift. It is also the custom of the world to give some money to make a good performance when parting. Xun You, Xun Qi, and Xun Cheng each gave 100 coins, and the rest were all 10 coins. The single-wen recruits were the most, and they gave a piece of gold cake. Xun Zhen didn't refuse. When Xiaoren collected the money, he got on his horse and immediately handed over his hands and said, "You gentlemen stay, Zhen is gone."

Xiao Xia and Xiao Ren got on their horses, and Tang Er got into the car. Three rides and one chariot, in the sight of everyone, went away facing the morning light. Li Bo, Xuan Kang, and Cheng Yan took their team and waited at the gate of the city. The two will meet together, go northwest along the official road, and rush to Yangzhai.

…

The distance between Yingyin and Yangzhai is fifty or sixty li. If you ride a horse, you can get there in half a day, but among the crowd, not only Tang Er rode an ox cart, Xuan Kang and Li Bo could not ride a horse, so they also rode a ox cart. Can't go fast. It took half a day to go half way. Fortunately, Xun Zhen is also an official, a hundred stone official. When you are hungry, thirsty and tired on the road, you can take a rest in the pavilion in the village.

Until dusk, to Yangzhai.

Yangzhai is the county seat of Yingchuan, where the prefect's mansion is located.

There were still seven or eight miles away from the city, and the number of pedestrians on the official road gradually increased. The fields by the roadside are endless, the manor stands in the distance, and dozens or hundreds of farmers and slaves are scattered in the fields. A big slave wrapped in green robes stood on the field ridge beside the road with his chest out and protruding belly. He was instructing a few little slaves to weed and water the weeds. He glanced at Xun Zhen and his group, and just glanced casually and turned around. back.

Li Bo sighed: "Yangzhai is the county seat of Zhenwu County. A big slave on the edge of the field can treat my group of more than ten chariots as an ordinary trivial matter." They were a group of more than ten people, more than ten horses, and three chariots, most of them carrying bows. Bring a sword, this should be placed in a small place like Xixiang, and it has already attracted the attention of passers-by. Even in Yingyin, there are not many passers-by like them, but this big slave just glanced at it. Looking at it again, you can see how many cyclists usually come and go here, and you can see the prosperity of Yangzhai as far as you can see.

As more and more pedestrians moved forward, Yang Zhai appeared in front of him in a short while.

A wide and deep moat circled around the city, sparkling in the twilight. After crossing the moat, facing a majestic city gate. The flags fluttered on the city gate, and the county guards patrolled on it. More than a dozen guards with spears and armor were scattered on both sides of the city gate. Passing through the Weng City, and passing another city gate, before the darkness under the city gate has calmed down, countless noisy and lively sounds have been heard.

They entered from the Dongcheng Gate. The market in Yangzhai is in the southwest. Most of them are lifang. If this is the case, the road is already very lively.

Most of Xiaoxia, Xiaoren, Xuankang, Li Bo and others have never been to Yangzhai, and they are dumbfounded. Tang Er was also attracted by the sight.

I saw a straight and majestic street, enough to accommodate seven or eight carriages in parallel. Pedestrians walk on both sides, and cars drive in the center. The roadside ditches are stone barriers, and the city outside the canal is forced to the side. The high-rise building faces the street, and the blue wine flag is raised high. Sometimes people go in together, and sometimes people shake out drunk. Among the passers-by, there are many high-ranking scholars; when riding a chariot, there are many noble people in costumes.

Xun Zhen was used to seeing big cities in her previous life and had been to Yangzhai before. She was the only one who was calm and calm. He said, "The prefect's mansion is in the northwest of the city. There is still some distance from here. After walking for dozens of miles, everyone is tired. If you try harder, you will meet the prefect as soon as possible, and you will have a good rest."

Everyone agreed, surrounded him, and walked down the street.

When I walked up, I found that the street was compacted like hard soil, and the road was paved with river pebbles. Horseshoes stepped on it, making a rattling sound.

Cheng Yan was speechless and said, "How many river pebbles must be used for such a big city and such a wide road!"

Xuankang had never travelled far and had little knowledge, so he was also envious, and the car was not rushing. He grabbed the car, leaned over and looked down, and said, "Isn't it true? Where did you get so many river pebbles?" Li Bonian Chang, after thinking about it for a while, knew where these river pebbles came from, and laughed: "Uncle Ye, have you forgotten the county name of this county?" Xuankang suddenly realized: "Oh! From Yingshui."

Xun Zhen turned around and greeted: "Uncle Ye! Drive well! There are river pebbles on the ground, and the traffic is bumpy. There are many pedestrians, don't fall or bump into people." Seeing him, he admired his "knowledge and knowledge" very much, so although the two of them were of the same age, they were willing to listen to his words, hurriedly retracted their bodies, focused on driving, and stopped looking around.

"Xiao Xia, don't look around, watch the car for Tang Er."

Xiao Xia stuck out her tongue, jumped off her horse and came to the side of the ox cart, holding the reins with one hand and helping Tang Er drive the cart with the other.

The streets were bustling with people, cars and horses passing by from time to time. Most of the cars are chariots, with precious decorations and extravagant decorations, and they are covered outside so that people inside cannot be seen. Occasionally, the fragrance of a woman wafts out of them. At this time, Cheng Yan’s team of light warriors can’t help it. Take a second look. Xun Zhen had to remind them again: "Concentrate on your journey, don't look left and right."

From the east of the city to the prefect's mansion, it was only a few miles to walk along the main road in the city, but Xun Zhen felt more tired than the dozens of miles from Yingyin to Yangzhai. He thought to himself mockingly, "I brought a group of Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden." Fortunately, because of his constant reminders, there was no trouble along the way. Just when he saw the pavilion in the prefect's mansion, seven or eight cavalry rushed towards him.

There are many people on the road, if Xun Zhen and the others move forward, they will definitely collide with them. Xun Zhen hurriedly ordered everyone to stop the horses to avoid the left. Cheng Yan's subordinate said: "Xunjun is the postal governor of the county, why do you want to make way for them?"

Cheng Yan reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Bo parked the chariot on the side, stood up to watch the ride, and said, "These knights are all luxuriously dressed and high-spirited, and the knights behind them look like servants, but they are all dressed in loose clothes, and their swords are inside. They are definitely not ordinary people. You can see them driving their horses on the road, galloping straight, and everyone on the street, whether on foot or on horseback, retreated one after another. They did not dare to complain, and they must be rich or noble. When meeting a noble person, it is also careful and cautious to make concessions temporarily, which is in line with the way of a saint."

After he finished speaking, Cheng Yan was reminded by him that he noticed that if the knights who came were dressed in extraordinary clothes and not like ordinary people, they should be from the surnames of the county. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com These people were very fast, and inadvertently, they had already galloped past them. Xun Zhen's eyes snapped, and he saw that among the two leading riders, the man on the left had a beard and beard, burly and burly, and seemed familiar.

Someone in the Qingxia recognized him and said with a light "huh", "Isn't this Bo Lian?"

Xun Zhen remembered that he had met this person once last year when the case was settled in Tanabe, Xixiang, and heard from the villagers that it was Bo Lian, the younger brother of Shuai Bo Cai, the Taiping Daoqu in this county. He thought to himself: "I didn't expect to see this person on the first day I came to Yangzhai." He smiled, "Polian is a native of Yangzhai, it is not unusual to see him in the county. . . . Who is that person beside him? ? With a dignified appearance, outstanding appearance, and the appearance of a noble person."

Cheng Yan dismounted, grabbed an old man to ask questions, asked two or three clearly, and replied, "That man's name is Zhang Zhi, and he is Zhang Rang's son."

Li Bo shook his head again and again, and said with a sudden realization: "It's no wonder that in the middle of the county, passers-by look sideways, it turns out to be the nephew of Zhang Hou, the permanent servant of the middle school."

"Zhang Rang's nephew?" Xun Zhen was taken aback, her thoughts turned, and she thought: "Zhang Rang's nephew, Bo Cai's younger brother, how can these two ride together? Could it be that Zhang Rang and that Taiping Road still have contacts? ?"

He remembered that Zhang Jiao did have contacts with the regular servants in the court before the uprising, but he didn't remember Zhang Rang. On second thought, he felt that even if there was Zhang Rang, it would not be surprising. The emperors of the Han family were more religious, and the same is true of today's sons. If the superior is good, the inferior must be very good. It is not surprising that the permanent attendants in the middle have contacts with the Taiping Road. —Although there had been a small-scale rebellion in Taiping Road before, even the emperor didn’t care, let alone eunuchs?
