The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The person who came was Du You.

Xun Zhen was terribly sleepy, and after hearing that it was him, she still stood up, washed her face, invited him into the room, and asked, "The rafters are here at night, but is there something wrong with the Shen family?" It's worth Du You so late The only thing to disturb is the Shen family.

Du You said, "The Shen family has long since been embarrassed by the slaying of violence and prestige the night before. What can be the matter? I am here tonight for two reasons."

"Dude, please speak."

"One is that before I and Zhang Jun and Guo Jun left the mansion and left the city, the mansion had an explanation and asked me to tell the minister in private."

Xun Zhen said in her heart, "Have you explained anything to Yin Xiu?" She cheered up and said, "Mr. Du, please speak, and I will listen carefully."

"The mansion said: 'During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, Zhao Gang, the surname of Qinghe, was murdered by him, and Yangping ordered Li Zhangxue to entertain him, and cut him off with a sword. Those who are virtuous must help each other. If the full-time punishment is used, the people will not be happy, and the only virtue is the people will not fear death. Wen Qing is twenty years old and admires Qiu Lan, and he has the ambition to educate the world. He broke the prison in Xixiang , can also follow the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is really good. In my opinion, Wu Jian is harsh, and it is not as polite as it is to change it; if it makes the people fear death, it is not if they make the people happy. Zhou Yafu said that Zhao Yu: Although it is harmless, but he has a deep knowledge, he cannot live in a big mansion.

Xun Zhen listened attentively and understood what Yin Xiu meant. Yin Xiu thought that his killing was too heavy, and advised him to be careful in punishment and to practice more benevolence.

He said solemnly, "Let's be chaste."

Du You said with a smile: "Qing Zhi is the rule of law, does not avoid nobles and relatives, and is a role model for my generation. The government has repeatedly praised Qing for being jealous of evil, brave, upright and resolute. The reason why I told Qing to say this is also for Qing's consideration." Zhou Yafu said to Zhao Yu, "Although harmless, he is profoundly literate, so he cannot live in a big mansion." , holding the grammar profoundly; the big man, the public mansion.

Xun Zhen never thought that one day he would be worshipped as the third prince by the court, and he knew that Du You was praying and chanting, so he didn't take this sentence seriously, and said: "The teachings of the lord of the government will be remembered in my heart."

"This is the first thing. The second thing, I would like to ask Qing: The Shen family's clan, servants, iron officials, in Qing's opinion, what is the appropriate way to deal with them?"

Xun Zhen was puzzled and thought, "Did I not already say my opinion when the handover was held?" He promised the Shen family not to hold them accountable. After seeing Shen Xun's death, he disarmed and surrendered. The attitude of confessing was good, and it was not the first evil. It was suggested that the punishment could be lighter. Guo Jun and Du You also agreed at the time. But why are you asking now?

He couldn't figure out what Du You meant, and suspected that he had repented. He wanted to deal with the Shen family seriously, and said vaguely, "You are here under the order of the government to handle the Shen family case. It's up to me to say what the Shen family should do." Decided to figure out what Du You meant first, and then speak for the Shen family. Anyway, since I promised the Shen family, I can't keep my word, so I have to fight for them.

Du You said: "Fu Jun said, 'Wu Jian is harsh, if you don't give it to him with courtesy; if you make the people fear death, if you don't make the people happy'. The next person agrees with it. As Qing said, the Shen family is not the first evil, but also in the Shen Tun. After he died, he gave up his weapon and pleaded guilty. After discussing it with Guo Jun, he decided to follow the advice of Qing and deal with it lightly. How would you like to see it?"

Xun Zhen became more and more inexplicable. Since he decided to follow his suggestion, why did he say this? He thought: "He only said that he and Guo Jun agreed, not Zhang Zhong. Could it be that Zhang Zhong is unwilling?" He asked, "But where is Zhang Jun?"

"Ah? No, no. Although Xiahe and Guo Jun haven't told Zhang Jun about this decision, but Zhang Jun's house is kind-hearted and will definitely not object."

"That?"

Du You changed his eloquent talk just now, hesitantly, and said, "Jun Zhang is not only kind-hearted, but also innocent and cautious."

Xun Zhen waited for him to speak, but he didn't say anything, clapped his hands, and someone came in outside the door.

Xun Zhen recognized it as the little official who followed Du You's car on the road.

I saw that the little official was holding a wooden tray in his hand, and he didn't know what to hold. It was built high and covered with a layer of silk cloth. The clerk bowed down, put the wooden plate on the table in front of Xun Zhen, and walked out respectfully. Xun Zhen asked, "This is?"

Du You let out a haha ​​and said, "Please lift it up and watch."

Xun Zhen lifted up the silk cloth, her eyes shone with golden light, and when she looked closely, there were five golden cakes.

Du You said: "Tomorrow, the minister will leave the city. According to the custom, I and Guo Jun are supposed to be the ancestors of Qing, and we will see each other. However, the official case is in the body. , "Ancestor" refers to the God of the Road. When traveling far, it is usually necessary to worship the God of the Road first, which is called the Ancestral Way.

Xun Zhen looked at the golden cake, then looked at Du You, and said to herself, "Cheng Yi usually has ten or one hundred coins. I will leave Yingyin and go to Yangzhai, and take Gongda, Boqi (Xun Qi), Zhongren (Xun Cheng) ) relatives, but they only gave me 100 yuan each, and they were rich and grateful to me, so they gave me a piece of gold cake, which is too much. I am not familiar with Du You and Guo Jun. Why do people give me five gold loaves?"

Du You added: "The lacquer plate is too small and the contents are limited. In addition to the hardware, there is a hundred gold in the box, which is placed in the outdoor porch. If you don't give up, then you will leave."

Xun Zhen almost laughed out loud. If it is only hardware, he is still a little suspicious; if it is hardware, the implication is too obvious.

He had already guessed that these golden cakes must belong to the Shen family. Du You just mentioned the Shen family again for no reason, thinking that he was just looking for an introduction. He thought: "Money is eye-catching. I'm not the only one who fell in love with the Shen family's property! Du You and Guo Jun must also want to make a fortune from it, and they are afraid that I know the details of the Shen family's wealth, so they sent these hundreds Yu Jinbing is my share of profits. No wonder, as long as the Shen family is a person, they will be moved when they see it." He pretended to decline, "How can this be made!"

Du You said sternly: "Qing took the risk lightly, eliminated harm for the people, expelled the country and the sword, and tens of thousands of people in Yangcheng were safe because of him. Today, Qing will leave for another trip, and the case will be patrolled in various counties. Cheng Yi is strong? Don't want to refuse." He got up to leave, disregarding Xun Zhen's retention, he took the little official who was waiting outside the door, and strode out of the hospital.

Xun Zhen chased him for a ride, then turned back to the courtyard, and Guo saw a box on the porch outside the door.

He didn't even open it, he sat back in the hall, stared at the few gold cakes on the table for a while, and thought with a sigh, "How many people in the world can be rich and not prostitute? Du You is famous, Guo Jun All the children, considering that the two of them are not exempt from the custom, let alone, let alone, ..., haha, let alone someone who is as mediocre as me?" Then they thought, "If Du You and Guo Jun knew that I had made a fortune from the Shen family, they would What kind of expression is it?" After guessing for a while, he felt bored, came up sleepy, greeted Xiao Xia, who was the night guard outside the door, and ordered him to put these gold cakes into the box on the porch outside the door and put them into the carriage. , and take it away tomorrow.

Xiao Xia answered the order and took the lacquer plate to leave, but Xun Zhen stopped him again, considered it for a while, and said, "Don't let anyone else know about this except you and me. Especially Zhi Cai, Shu Ye, Zi Yuan and the others. Don't let them know." Corruption is not a good thing, Du You and Guo Jun are both high-ranking officials in the county.

…

Early the next morning, everyone got up, washed and dined, rode out of the post office, and went west along the street toward the West City Gate.

Du You said last night that he was afraid that he would not be able to see him off today. Zhang Zhong and Guo Jun also came. In addition, there are the county magistrate, Wei, Shen Rong and others. In front of Shen Rong, Xun Zhen complimented Zhang Zhong, Du You, and Guo Jun again, making him so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. When he looked at Xun Zhen, he was more grateful. .

Du You and the others sent Xun Zhen out of the city, Xun Zhen bowed long and said goodbye, "Goodbye Yang Zhai."

Du You approached him, glanced at Zhang Zhong who was behind him, and said in a low voice, "Master Xun, don't forget what I said last night."

Xun Zhen thought to himself, "Isn't that what Zhang Zhong said about being innocent and cautious?" He and Zhang Zhong were not familiar with each other, but because of these words, he immediately looked at Zhang Zhong a little bit. - Obviously, Du You , Guo Jun couldn't buy Zhang Zhong, and he was afraid that he would know, so he reminded him.

He smiled and said, "I can't forget it." Du You was overjoyed, he took his hand and shook it, keeping each other silent.

There were also nearly a thousand people who came to see Xun Zhen off. They were afraid of Zhang Zhong and Du You's official prestige, and did not dare to come forward. They followed from a distance. Said: "Xun's family milk tiger, Huixia begging for traitors, killing harm for the people, there is no time to warm up!"

He also sang: "In the past, there was Taiqiu in Xu County, and now there is Yingyin Ruhu."

Zhang Zhong, Du You, and Guo Jun looked back in amazement. Xun Zhen ordered Xu Zhong and others to remove the towel cover on the top of the carriage and the curtains on the sides, get into the car, expose the car to the sun, face the people, bow to the end, stand up, and say in a loud voice, "Zhen Jin is leaving! Please go back."

The villagers bowed down.

…

After saying goodbye to the people and the common people, Xun Zhen boarded the car and headed to the next destination, Lun Shi.

Like other county towns in Yingchuan County, Lunshi is also an ancient city with a long history. Chu, Zheng, Han, and Qin all fought here. To this dynasty, it was renamed Lunshi.

A few decades ago, a man named Dong Junya served as a county captain here. This man is Dong Zhuo's father.

Of course, when Dong Junya was serving as a magistrate here, Xun Zhen had not yet been born, so he did not know that. The only thing he knows now, and the only thing he cares about, is how to successfully deport the county magistrates and county magistrates who have a record of corruption and corruption in this county.

Two days after leaving Yangcheng, he arrived at the Lun family with Xi Zhicai, Xu Zhong and others. Strangely, no one was greeted outside the county.

Liu Deng was very dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Does the Lun clan's order consider himself higher than the postal supervisor? Why didn't he send someone out to greet him?" That Lun's decree came to the front of Jun's car."

He was furious. Xun Zhen looked at him and unconsciously remembered a well-known joke in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Zhang Fei's anger whips the post. When he first read this passage, because he did not know the official system of the Han, he was still wondering, what is the post of the postal supervisor? Can you bully a county magistrate? Now that he knows, he can really bully the county lieutenant. Not to mention the county magistrate, as long as the postal supervisor is strong, the magistrate can bully.

"Why should Ah Deng do this. He doesn't come to greet us, we just go to the county court."

The veil of the carriage has long since been re-installed. After Xun Zhen finished speaking, she lowered the curtain, and Xi Zhicai, who was sitting across from him, said with a smile, "Lun Shi's command is worthy of a thousand stones, and he is much tougher than the six hundred stone chief of Yangcheng."

"The meaning of Zhicai: We can no longer use the same way of dealing with Guozhuo, should we give him some hard work?"

Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and said, "The magistrate and the magistrate are the top officials in this county. Since the magistrate is tough, let's clean up the magistrate first."

"Just as you wish."

Liu Deng led the leader, Xu Zhonghu was on the side, and dozens of vehicles rode into the city. It was noon, and there were few people on the street. Outside the county temple, there is no one on duty outside the temple. Xun Zhen blamed him for not going in first, so he ordered a clerk from the post office to enter, and summoned the county magistrate to see him.

The little official had been in for a long time, but one person came out with a dazed expression. He knelt down in front of the car and reported, "There is no one in the temple or in the prefecture. I don't know where the county magistrate went."

"..., go to the county magistrate."

This time, it was not the little official who came out alone, but an official with a yellow sash who came out with him. The only people in the county who can bring the yellow sash are the county magistrate and the Wei. Xun Zhen thought to himself: "This little official is too ineffective, so I asked him to go to the magistrate, and come out alone; I asked him to go to the magistrate, and the magistrate would be turned down instead. Bring it out." Desire to give the county magistrate a dismount, but he didn't get out of the car, only Xu Zhong lifted the curtain and asked, "Is this county magistrate under one step?"

"It's not the county chief, it's the county lieutenant."

"..."

The county magistrate has a good reputation in the county. The people say that he is a good official. Xun Zhen would not be able to give him face. He got out of the car and met him. After the ceremony, he was about to ask him where the magistrate and the county chief were. He said to himself first, and said, "After hearing that the rafters left Yangcheng County and entered the territory of our county, the magistrate and the chief of the county all hung up their seals, wrote a memorial, and resigned."

"..., Zi-zi resigned? When did you go?"

"I left yesterday. Not only the two of them resigned, but other officials of the county court also resigned themselves. All the affairs of the county fell on the lower shoulders. Because they were busy with various chores, they could not go out to the rafters for a while. , please forgive me." The county captain said, calling his hand in the official temple and calling out four or five minor officials. These little officials, holding various colored ribbons in their hands, walked to Xun Zhen's car with trembling trembling and bowed down.

The county lieutenant said: "The seals of the commander, the prime minister, the seals of the meritorious cadres, the chief registrar, and the seals of other officials who have resigned themselves are all here. I would like to hand them over to the rafters, and please return them to the prefecture."

The ribbons are black, yellow, blue and cyan, and the stamps are divided into bronze and half-tone, ranging from a thousand stones to a hundred stones. Xun Zhen looked at the seals and understood why the county magistrate didn't welcome him.

The Lun clan is a large county, and the county magistrate is four hundred stones, so it is not easy to personally greet him, the one hundred stone superintendent. If you don't go out to greet them in person, you can only send people to go out to greet them, but not only the magistrate and the county magistrate have resigned, but most of the officials at the higher level have also resigned, and there is really no one to send. If he dispatched an unprofessional clerk, Xun Zhen might think he was humiliating him.

The county magistrate and other Xun Zhen envoys received many seals, took out a few more memorials, and said, "This is a memorial for the county magistrate and the prime minister to plead guilty and resign. Please also ask the rafters to transfer it to the county government."

Xun Zhen took the memorial, and if there was something wrong, he looked at the palace, looked back at the embarrassed county captain, and then looked at the frightened little officials, he felt that he should go. His current mood was somewhat similar to the mood he had when he heard that Fan Sheng was a Taiping Taoist in Tieguan a few days ago. However, at that time, he went from hope to disappointment. At this time, he was full of energy, thinking that things would be difficult to handle, and only knew beforehand that things had been resolved without any effort.

He said a few words to the county magistrate in a warm voice, and rejected the county magistrate's invitation to invite him to sit at the official temple. The county magistrate's invitation, as far as anyone with discernment could see, was just hypocrisy and politeness.

Get in the car, leave the county temple, and go out of the city.

He couldn't help it anymore, pointed to his nose, and asked Xi Zhicai, "Am I so scary?" Xi Zhicai burst out laughing.

Laughter came from outside the car, as bright as the sun.

…

Three days later, to Jiaxian.

The chief officials of Jiaxian County are still law-abiding, and there is only one tyrant in the county who has done a lot of evil.

Ten miles outside the city, Xun Zhen came across a team that welcomed him.

The head of the county took the lead, more than a dozen county officials, two or three representatives of the local clans, and four or five people with strong shoulders, bound themselves to the ground. The county administrator introduced: "Some of these people are the children of the Tibetan clan in this county, and some are the children of the Chu clan in this county.

The Zang family is the tyrannical tyrant that Xun Zhen intends to investigate this time. The Cho family, who is also a hero, is the descendant of Wei Wei of the Choi period.

Xun Zhen heard the master's words, stood in front of the car, and rebuked him: "The children of the Tibetan clan rely on their grandfather's power to bully men and women, turn slaves into murder, hide their lives, and do all kinds of evil. ', 'Cause trouble' can be taken lightly?" The county chief turned pale in fear, bowed his hands, and did not dare to say any more.

Xun Zhen stretched out her hand and took the case book that Xi Zhicai handed over, turned to the page of Jiaxian, and asked the people who were bound and kneeling: "Is Zang Yao here?"

One person replied, "Xiaomin is here."

"On March 15th of the previous year, you knew someone who sold someone a little bit and went with Jia. The seller's surname was Tian, ​​and you bought Huang from Runan. Is there such a thing? In the second year after buying it home, Huang was offended by some trivial matters. When you are angry with you, you beat him to death, but what about this?"

The man was afraid to answer.

"You've done a lot of evil, I won't read it to you one by one. ... Can Zanglong be here?"

"Little, small people are here."

"On May 3 last year, you went to the countryside to collect a loan. The person who lent you the money was Liu from Huangling Township. He had no money to pay you back, so you burned his house down. Is there such a thing?"

The man was too afraid to answer.

"Can Zangqi be here?"

"Little, the little man is here."

"Most of the children in your clan are illegal, but you are the worst. Three years ago, you hid a murderer who murdered a thief. This man's surname is Zheng, and he is still in your home. What's the matter? The year before last, you forcibly married again. My wife Shi Shi, and she beat her husband to half death. Is there such a thing? In the past year alone, you killed three slaves without any reason. What happened? In the county and township, all evils are committed, and the villagers look at them, can these things happen?"

Zangqi sweated like rain, kowtow and pleaded guilty.

Xun Zhen ignored him and turned to the remaining two: "Report your name."

One replied, "It's under Choka." The other replied, "It's under Choren."

Xun Zhen said: "You two have committed a lot of evil, and I won't say anything else, but only two things. Choo Jia, your family occupies your own house and hides it. Choren, your guests take advantage of your family's power, You have city membership, but you don't get taxed. Are there two things?"

The people present in Jiaxian County were all horrified when they saw that he was uttering his words like a god, knowing everything big and small.

Cho Ka and Cho Ren kowtowed again and again and said, "The villain is convicted and convicted."

Xun Zhen softened her tone and said, "After your family is a hero, the hairpins have been used for generations. This is different from ordinary people's families. You should be more cautious in your actions. How can you fight against arrogance and lawlessness? Descendants, are there still few people who die because of illegal arrogance and even genocide? If you don’t think about yourself, do you have no parents and elders in your family? Is it?"

Choujia and Choren have crispy bones and soft flesh, they only know how to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"I'm not a person who likes to kill either. I think you two are descendants of heroes and have the heart to serve their sins. This time, I will spare you two." Those who violate the law and discipline, disturb the people and harm the people, will be severely punished!"

"Yes Yes."

The county magistrate said with a smile, "Everyone in Tibet and Yao also has the heart to serve their sins."

"Zang Yao killed slaves, Zang Long burned houses, and Zang Qi was especially vicious. Even if he had the heart to serve his sins, he should not be punished without knowing the punishment! ..., come here!"

Xu Zhong, Liu Deng and others agreed loudly.

"Tie the three of them, and send them back to the county immediately, please let the ruler go!"

"promise!"

Liu Deng led someone forward, kicked Zang Yao over with one foot, and tied him up. The other Qing Xia followed suit and kicked Zang Long and Zang Qi down, then tied them up. Liu Deng ordered four or five people and ordered them to immediately send the three to the county house. These light chivalrous men took the order, bid farewell to Xun Zhen, mounted their horses, pulled the rope, dragged the three of Zang Yao, and rode away. The three of Zang Yao followed behind the horse on foot, staggering.

The people of Jiaxian County were trembling with fear, lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, not daring to express their anger.

The county clerk forced a smile on his face, and asked Xun Zhen to enter the city with a trembling voice.

Xun Zhen said: "I came to Ru County for the three people of Zangqi, who have already been captured, so what are they going to do in your county?... Now I have taken Zangqi, and the desperate Zheng, who is hiding in Zangqi's house, has been captured. As for Shi Shi, the wife he forcibly married, I will leave it to you. Zanglong burned down Liu's house in Huangling Township last year, and Liu lives in the open air. Please tell the magistrate of your county: , when pity the people and grieve'."

"Yes, yes. The clerk must tell the county lord."

Xun Zhen flicked her sleeves and turned around, pressing the knife to board the car. Xu Zhong, Liu Deng and others shouted to clear the way, the chariots started, and the dust left. They have ridden a long way in dozens of vehicles, and the people of Jiaxian are still there. Look at me, I look at you, wipe their foreheads together, and let out a long breath.

…

Xunzhen passed Jiaxian and did not enter, so he galloped along the official road, crossed Rushui in the south, and arrived at Fucheng in the afternoon.

The master of the father city, the surname, and the elders of the county greeted him twenty miles away. As Xun Zhen's itinerary continued to move forward, what had happened in Yangcheng, Lunshi, and Jiaxian counties had been passed on to the ears of the county officials and people. There is no need to speak too much, the guilty officials resign themselves, and the guilty tyrants are bound to plead guilty. Xun Zhen stayed here for one night and left the city the next day.

People all over the city cheered and sang to each other: "The wise and godly prince Langling is as sick and evil as the tiger of the Xun family." "Lang Ling Gong", Xun Shu is also.

…

The chariots and horses galloped, and the knights were proud. Forty miles in half a day, to Kunyang. Kunyang Ling also printed a ribbon to resign, and the tyrannical and lawless people either bound themselves in front of Xun Zhen's car, or abandoned their homes and fled. The scorching sun is like fire, the official law is like a furnace, and the song is advancing vigorously. At dusk, it enters Wuyang, and the order of Wuyang returns to the seal and resigns. There were new songs at the post office for the night, and the people sang throughout the night: "Xun Zhenzhi, why is it too late! Eliminate the traitors and punish the evil, save the people. The powerful and powerful officials are like sheep now." Relying on prestige, we traveled fast, and arrived at Dingling at noon. If you have not entered the country, the officials will speak out; when you go to the county seat, the surname will be served.

When Haoyouqiangzong heard that he had entered the county, they all restrained the children of the clan: "The postal supervisor patrols the counties, cutting thorns and thorns, unstoppable, chasing a thousand stone officials is like driving a chicken, killing six hundred stones is like slaughtering a dog. When entering the territory of our county, the disciples of the sect should retreat three houses, and do not violate the tiger's might." All the way along the way, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, like the wind and the cloud, and the filth is washed away, and the counties that pass through are one of them.

…

The next day, we crossed Rushui twice and headed north to Xiangcheng County.

Li Xuan, the grandson of Li Yuanli, a famous family in Xiangcheng County, greeted him at the county boundary.

The officials in Xiangcheng County are well governed, and the tyrants also abide by the law. Xun Zhen had planned not to enter the county, but when she saw Li Xuan, she was full of surprises. Xi Zhicai, Xuan Kang, and Li Bo were also very pleasantly surprised. In the past, when Li Ying was alive, scholars all over the world regarded his house as the Dragon Gate, and the gate that entered his house was the Yuelong Gate. Although Li Yingjin passed away, the Li family's reputation in the state and county is still very high. Being able to be greeted by Li Xuan also shows from the side that Xun Zhen has officially entered the stage of the gentry.

Xun Zhen sighed with emotion. After more than two years of hard work, slack in the night, self-restraint, and many risks, he finally succeeded in the ninth transformation. He was no longer the side branch of the Xun family when he first came, and he was no longer just a fanatic sun. Tingchang, Xixiang Youzhi, and Northern Duyou, after being appreciated by the parent Xun Rui, the county magistrate Zhu Chang, and the prefect Yinxiu, were finally recognized and accepted by the Yingchuan gentry.

He accepted Li Xuan's invitation, entered Li's house in the afternoon, met Li Xuan's father Li Zan, and sat down with Li Xuan after dinner until nightfall. They talked with each other very vigorously, and they were not tired, and then they talked at night, staying up all night, all night long. It was not until noon the next day that they said goodbye.

Li Xuan sent him out of the county boundary again. After returning home, Li Zan asked, "What did you and Xun Jiazi talk about?"

"Old Confucius and Huang, the way of a saint. Local customs, anecdotes in the world." Apart from political affairs, they talked about everything.

"What is the Xun family like?"

Li Xuan replied: "The talent is also ordinary, the appearance of a person in UU reading www.uukanshu.com."

"So, why do people with one ear talk all day and night, without sleep?"

"He is a middle-aged man, and his anger exceeds others. He acts mighty, and his original intention is to be aggressive, but he is tolerant and magnanimous, modest and calm. Although there are no strange words when talking to him, he is honest, just like an old friend in the past. Forgetting tiredness, not realizing the passage of day and night."

Li Xuan paused for a while, and then said with admiration: "The three sons of Zhenzhimen, Xuankang and Li Bolu are not enough to mention, only Yang Zhai's drama ambition is sturdy, shrewd and agile. Huai, given time, will become a great weapon."

…

After leaving Xiangcheng County, Xi Zhicai asked Xun Zhen, "What is Li Xuan like?"

"The origin of family education, the backbone of the chest, and the ancestral style. Talent is not as good as Qing, but above me." Xun Zhen replied, and asked Xi Zhicai, "What does Zhicai think Li Xuan is like?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "From my perspective, Xuan is not as good as Qing."

"Don't be joking."

"As I said a few days ago: 'In ancient and modern times, there are many people who are talented, and those who achieve things are rare. What is it? It's not that people who achieve things are high.' The talents are high and shallow, the talents of the county and the country; the courageous, persevering, and sensitive, the emphasis is on the line, the talents are equal, the talents are deep, and the world is a great talent."

Xun Zhen laughed, still thinking he was making fun of herself. Xi Zhicai also smiled and stopped explaining.

…

Go forward thirty li, and cross the Yingshui in the north to Yingyang. The King of Yingyang and the nobles of the sacrificial surname greeted him at the county boundary. Entering the county seat, the people sang and danced in the streets, and the songs resonated throughout the city. Corrupt officials and cruel officials all resigned, and all the powerful and powerful families bowed their heads. Xun Zhen had nothing to do and stayed in the county for one night. In the early morning of the next day, we went northwest to the north bank of the Yuanhe River. In the evening, Yang Zhai was in sight.

Yangzhai was in the south of Yingshui, and also crossed the Yingshui. The group ended their half-month parade and returned to Yangzhai City in the twilight.
