The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 5 Chapter 52: Good guests come to Luoyang (middle)

After marching for several days, at noon on this day, Handan was in sight. State minister Liu Heng, state minister Huang Zong, Lang Zhongling Duan Cong and others got the message and went out of the city to meet them. There was another person who came out to meet them, but it was from Luoyang.

This man is in his forties, with a low stature, dark skin, lean and strong, with shining eyes and a beard under his chin. The ground seemed to be shaking as he stepped on it.

Xun Zhen ordered the troops to stop and dismounted quickly to meet them.

When the people met on the road, Xun Zhen noticed that this person had been looking at him with a smile, as if he knew him very well. After the ceremony, Liu Heng introduced to him: "Lieutenant, this is Duke He of Nanyang, and he is an old friend of the Jun family. Why, doesn't the lieutenant recognize him?"

Xun Zhen thought: "'Nanyang He Gong'? 'Is my family an old friend'?"

The surname is He, and he is from Nanyang, and there is only one person who is old friends with the Xun family, that is Nanyang He Yong.

Many years ago, He Yong avoided the disaster of the party, changed his name, and disappeared in Runan. He went to Yingchuan to visit the Xun family. He saw Xun Yu when he was young. Wang Zuocai also". Speaking of which, He Yong and the Xun family have been in friendship for more than ten or twenty years.

Xun Zhen's mind was quick, and he immediately thought that the person in front of him must be He Yong. He Yong was friends with Xun Shuang and other Xun's elders. The deeds of Duke He, whom Zhen has admired for a long time, are not surprised to see him today, and I am very fortunate!" Li Bi got up and asked Xun You to come to the army.

Xun You was a generation shorter than Xun Zhen, and when he saw He Yong, he had to do the disciple ceremony.

After Xun You received the ceremony, He Yong helped Xun You up, smiled and looked at Liu Heng, Huang Zong, Duan Cong and others who were beside him, and said, "More than ten years ago, I met Wen Ruo at Xun's house. Wen Ruo was born intelligent. It surprised me a lot, but unfortunately I didn't see Zhenzhi at that time! If I could see Zhenzhi again at that time, I think it would make me even more surprised!"

He turned his head, smiled and said to Xun Zhen and Xun You, "Huang Fu and Liu Xiang heard your triumph and went out of the city to greet you. I will not disturb your meeting with the officials of Zhao County! Huang Fu, Liu Xiang, you guys. Talk, you talk."

Xun Zhen said: "I heard that He Yong, when he was in Taixue, avenged his friends. He had a chivalrous style. After the party was in trouble, he became a running friend with Yuan Shao. The unfortunate, but often risked being arrested into Luoyang privately, and negotiated with Yuan Shao about the rescue method. It can be said that he did not care about himself in order to save his own kind. Compared with his revenge for his friends back then, this move was more chivalrous and practical. The person above the chivalrous. When I saw him today, I saw that his words were crisp and his demeanor was lean, and he really lived up to his name."

The rumored He Yong is a very chivalrous person.

He Yong studied in Luoyang when he was a teenager. Although he was a latecomer, Guo Linzong, Jia Biao and other famous people were all close to him, so he became famous as Taixue. He had a friend named Yu Weigao. Yu Weigao had his father's revenge and he was dying of illness. He Yong went to visit him. He cried and said, saying that his father's revenge was not avenged, and the family was poor and had no brothers. He is the only man, I am afraid that after his death, his father can only hate Jiuquan. ——According to the customs of the Han Dynasty, the revenge of parents, if there are males in the family, the males will repay it, and those who have no males will be repaid by the daughters. Yes, some are reported by the clan, and some are entrusted to friends. He Yong felt righteous, and after his death, he avenged his father's revenge for him, and used the head of his father's enemy to pay homage to his tomb.

This thing was all the rage at the time. Yuan Shao admired his chivalrous name just because he heard about it, so after he was harassed by the party, he communicated with him privately, and the two became friends on the run.

The so-called running friends refer to close friends who try their best to help each other. When one party encounters trouble, the other party runs to help each other. In other words, in the context of the Party's restraint at that time, it can also be said that it is a friend made by people with the same political goals.

Yuan Shao's family is a contemporary power eunuch, and the power dominates the world. After He Yong and Yuan Shao became friends, together with several other running friends of Yuan Shao, such as Xu You, Zhang Miao, Wu Qiong, etc., everyone worked together to rescue the party members. , the party members have been exempted a lot because of their strength.

If it was said that He Yong's revenge for his friends was just a "little man", then after he and Yuan Shao became friends on the run, the act of "saving one's own life" was a "hero".

It is also because of He Yong's achievements in rescuing the party members that after the party's dissolution, he was turned into an official by the Sikong Mansion a few months ago.

Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were the three princes of this dynasty. Although the government of this dynasty belongs to the Shangshutai, under normal circumstances, the three princes have no real power, but the status of the three princes is still extremely noble.

The three princes could open the government and expel officials on their own. The officials who were eliminated by Sangong were called "gongfuxiu", which means that the Sangongfu was eliminated. The Three Palaces are also referred to as "Three Palaces" for short, and sometimes there are situations where the Four Palaces compete for the establishment and the Five Palaces compete for one person. For example, Han Rong, the son of Han Shao, "has a great reputation, and the five Palaces are established together." Another example is Xun Shuang, this year When the first party ban was lifted, it was also "five palaces". The so-called "four palaces" and "five palaces" were added to the three generals' palaces and the Taifu palaces. Broadly speaking, these five houses can be called public houses.

The officials who were dismissed by the Gongfu had "low rank and heavy rank", because the Three Gongs had the right to "raise officials", so they often got promoted very quickly, "or Changzhou County every month, or a few years to Gongqing. ". Li Ying, for example, was first designated as a subordinate official of Situ, and then moved to Qingzhou Prefecture.

Although the three princes of this dynasty are noble, they change quickly. According to the Confucian theory of the induction of heaven and man, every time a catastrophe occurs, the three princes must be removed and replaced. Since the beginning of this year, three people have been replaced by the single Sikong in the imperial court~www.wuxiaspot.com~ First Yuan Feng, then Zhang Ji, and Zhang Wen in April.

He Yong was designated as the official of the Sikong government when Yuan Feng was Sikong. ——When Yuan Feng was in office at Sikong, he not only dismissed He Yong as a government official, but also summoned Xun Shuang, but Xun Shuang did not accept the dismissal. answer".

Yuan Feng was Yuan Shao's biological father, Yuan Feng appointed He Yong as a subordinate official, and Yuan Shao's suggestion was indispensable.

However, He Yong has both a high reputation and a talented person. He was designated as the official of the Sikong government, but he deserves it. You can see his fame and ability.

Such a person with high reputation, talent, and busy official business suddenly came to Handan, Zhao County, all the way from Luoyang, but why? While chatting with Huang Zong, Liu Heng, Duan Cong and others, Xun Zhen wondered in her heart.

He thought: "He Yong suddenly came from Luoyang, is it because of official business? Or is it because of private business? If it is because of official business, he is the official of the Sikong government, and he should not have any official business related to Zhao County, ... , it seems that he can only come for personal matters."

If you come for a private matter?

Xun Zhen's heart skipped a beat, thinking of a possibility: "Could it be that he came here on behalf of Yuan Shao to meet me specifically?"

——1. Since the beginning of this year, three people in the imperial court have been replaced by Sikong.

Check the "Han Han Gongqing Biao", in the first year of Zhongping, there are two Sikong recorded in history, one Zhang Ji and the other Zhang Wen.

In "Biography of Xun Shuang", it is said that "the ban on the party was lifted, the five governments were established together, and Yuan Feng, the Sikong, had a right, but he should not." The year of Sikong was placed in the first year of Zhongping. (To be continued)
