The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Hanoi borders Wei County. After Xun You returned from Hanoi, he talked about the thieves in Hanoi. At that time, Xu Zhuo (Xu Fu) volunteered to guard the southern border of Wei County for Xunzhen, which was not very far from Xingyang. Zhen could let Xu Zhuo lead the troops in the south of Wei Jun, and he had the right to experience it. Now that he has a thief, he can't put all the safety of the place on Xu Zhuo. After all, Xu Zhuo has not personally led soldiers. They were dispatched, and Xin Ai was in charge of the south of the county and Xu Zhuo was supplemented.

Xin Ai once forced Zhang Jiao to death, and Xun Zhen was even more famous in Zhao and Wei, so although Xingyang's thieves caused chaos in Hanoi, they never dared to invade Wei.

Xingyang was in a rebellion. Ordinarily, this is another opportunity to have military merits. It is not to say whether it will be able to win a big victory. , Xin Ai, Guan, Zhang, Zhao, etc., even if they can't win a big victory, they won't be a big defeat. They should still be able to make some military achievements, but the Han system: "Two thousand stones are not allowed to leave the country without authorization." Therefore, although I saw this scene It's a mess, let alone that Xun Zhen doesn't have the intention of going out to attack him now, even if there is, he can't do it.

The reason why Xun Zhen has no intention of going out to attack him now is because of two things.

One is that the matter of the Zhao family has not been resolved, and Xun You, Cheng Jia, Wei Guang, etc. are still secretly collecting evidence of the Zhao family's lawlessness and disorder. This time is not suitable for another issue.

One is the occasion of spring ploughing.

Compared with the rebellion outside the county, spring farming in this county is obviously more important.

Especially when this Xunzhen has not been turned into a regular, and he has offended Zhao Zhong severely, the government affairs of this county must not fail. Once Zhao Zhong is caught, even Yuan Shao and others cannot protect him, so , he attached great importance to this year's spring ploughing.

Emphasis on two aspects.

On the one hand, it is to order the county to persuade Nong Ye and Hu Cao to go to each county to supervise and supervise the farming in each county;

Last year's results in Tuntian were good, but after all, they were just starting out, they were not familiar with all the matters, and the running-in was not enough. The results were only acceptable. Xun Zhen was not very satisfied, so this year's Tuntian must be taken to a higher level.

The people regard food as their heaven. If the farmland is done well, first of all, the prefecture will not be empty anymore, and there will be enough food. Second, the food will be sufficient, which is not only a political achievement, but also conducive to training and even expanding troops. The most important thing is that if we can now After accumulating enough experience in the field, then in the future, when "the bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster in a thousand miles", this is an important means of "strengthening oneself".

For this reason, at the moment, Xun Zhen paid more attention to the farmland than the spring ploughing in the counties and the collection of criminal evidence of the Zhao family. Go to the field to check the specific situation.

With the experience of farming and farming last year, this year's spring planting progress is relatively smooth.

Soon, the weather turned warm and it was March.

In early March, the imperial court responded to the rebellion in Xingyang, and ordered He Jin's younger brother, He Miao, to attack the rebels.

The news spread to Wei County, but Xun Zhen was a little distracted, and he paid a little attention to the thief chaos in Xia Xingyang. The thieves chaos that started last month has now been entrenched in Xingyang. No progress, no wonder Xun Zhen never heard of this incident in his previous life, such a thief, as you can imagine, it must be easy to suppress, He Miao's expedition will probably be a triumph, He Miao's status as He Jin's younger brother and Empress He's younger brother, this triumph, needless to say, will definitely be reused.

These are all insignificant matters. In mid-March, two people arrived in Ye County one after another.

One is Shen Pei who returned from Luoyang, and the other is Handan Rong from Zhao County.

Handan Rong arrived first, and came after the trial.

When Handan Rong arrives, it is spring and the flowers are blooming. The roses in the front yard of the Prefect's Mansion are in full bloom. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the sky is clear blue, the white clouds are like floes, and the white clouds are scattered leisurely in the clear sky, and the warm spring sun sprinkles the soft brilliance, which makes people feel warm.

The maids in the mansion put on thin clothes and silk skirts and walked in the corridor, their rings jingling, looking over, their white arms and plump **** were fascinating.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Handan Rong is thinner and darker. Judging from his appearance and external performance, he seems to have matured a lot compared to when Xun Zhen was in Zhao County more than a year ago, and he has restrained a lot of pressing arrogance. , but his eyes flashed in the blink of an eye, and sometimes he still showed a strong look, which revealed that his inner things had not changed at all.

This external change of Handan Rong is also reasonable.

Because he now knows the difficulties of the world better than before.

He is always ambitious and wants to revive his family's reputation. Before Xun Zhen came to Zhao County, although he had no chance of becoming an official due to his poor family reputation, he had not suffered too much setback. For him, he thought that as long as There is a "noble person" who can appreciate him, support him, and give him a chance, then he can show his strength and revive the family voice of his Handan family, but he did not expect that although he has received Xun Zhen's appreciation and support , although because of Xun Zhen, he even became Xiaolian of Zhao County, but after Xun Zhen left Zhao County, he fell into the situation of "empty ambition but no chance" again.

It stands to reason that he is already very different from the past. In the past, he was only a disreputable title of "son of a corrupt official", but now he has the merits of governing the people and the military merits. Military merit - Although Handan Rong did not make any military merit when Xun Zhen was pacifying the big thieves in Zhao County, Xun Zhen relied on him as a local snake at that time, so every time he reported his merit to the prefecture and the court, he would List his name, if you want credit, he is now credited, and if you want political status, he is now Xiaolian in Zhao County. No matter the credit or political status, it is much better than before Xun Zhen came to Zhao County. He originally thought that in such a place. Under these circumstances, even if Xun Zhen left Zhao County, he would still be able to find a good way out.

But it backfired. He never imagined that, even though he now has a lot of military exploits and a political status as a "court-appointed minister", no one is willing to support him and use him.

Even though his father has been running around for more than a year, he has been on the line with his old friends, and even sent heavy gifts to his old friends and even his disciples and officials regardless of face, but still no one was willing to come forward to help him. Not long ago, only one person was willing to recommend him, but the position he got was not high, only a county lieutenant in Jiaozhi.

In the time of Emperor Huan, when the Empress Dowager Liang came to court, she felt bitter that Xiaolian had chosen a non-human person, so that the descendants of Zang officials could not be scrutinized. It was Lai Xunzhen's strength that Handan Rong could be named Xiaolian. However, it is difficult and difficult to get a good job. Generally speaking, those who are more filial and honest will be worshipped as the official of the three bureaus, and then they will be appointed as ministers, ministers, ministers, generals, etc. , the rank is low and the name is high, or he is a county magistrate, chief, prime minister, and Wei.

In fact, when you think about it, this is normal. His father was dismissed for corruption. His reputation is not good. He has been an official for many years. Maybe even get a job for him?

This was a big blow to him. He never thought of it. He thought that after winning Xiaolian, he would have military merits, and his future career would not be smooth sailing, at least it would be a smooth one. so tough.

In the face of the cruel reality, he was smashed and bloodied. After Xun Zhen's "Xianyang" in Zhao County, and Xun Zhen's "backward depression" after he left Zhao County, he re-understood the world and the reality He is cruel and ruthless, so he will inevitably change outwardly, showing a bit of introversion, but then again, the country is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. After all, his external change is just a forced bow to reality. His inner self has not changed, so there is still a strong look in his eyes from time to time - eyes are the most betrayal of a person's essence.

Jiaozhi is located in the southernmost part of the empire, tens of thousands of miles away from Jizhou. It is an extremely remote place. Although the land is rich, its civilization is not prosperous. As an official in this place, one is not accustomed to the soil and water, and the other is the harsh environment, and the three are far away. In the Central Plains, the news is blocked, the reputation is difficult to be known, and it is not conducive to the development of the official career.

Therefore, under the background that Handan Rong was forced to be helpless and could not find a way out, he went to Xun Zhen again. This is not to say that he has no loyalty to Xun Zhen. After all, it is not a troubled time. No one is willing to be attached to another person for a long time, to be a clerk under another person's door, and everyone wants to be on their own when they have the opportunity.

Xun Zhen welcomed his return.

Two reasons.

The first reason is: Handan Rong is his old official. When he was in Zhao County, Handan Rong gave him a lot of help, and Xun Zhen had a good relationship with him. The second reason is: Handan Rong is quite capable and daring to act. With his help, Xun Zhen's various political affairs in Wei County can be carried out better. However, Xun Zhen does not plan to use Zhao Zhao for the time being. Handan Rong, because the Handan clan is a big family, it is too dangerous to kill Zhao, Xun Zhen is unwilling to involve him, so as not to involve his clan, but this is not necessarily, you can look at it later, and analyze the specific situation.

Xun Zhen heard that Handan Rong was coming, and welcomed him out of the mansion in person.

Handan Rong did not expect that Xun Zhen would personally greet him outside the mansion gate. When he saw Xun Zhen, he had not yet arrived outside the mansion gate, so he quickly stopped the car and got out of the car.

Xun Zhen walked up to him quickly, held his hand, looked up and down, saw that he had become a little darker and thinner, and saw that he seemed calmer than before, she smiled and sighed: " It’s more than a year since I said goodbye to Qing, and I miss him day and night. Now that I see Qing’s face, it seems to be a little lighter than before! I remembered that I used to get along with Qing day and night when I was in Zhao County, and I am very happy to see Qing now!”

Handan Rong knew that Xun Zhen had always treated people with sincerity, but Xun Zhen was different now. In the past, when he was in Zhao County, Xun Zhen was only a Lieutenant of Zhao who was two thousand stones, but now he is the prefect of Wei County of two thousand stones. Two thousand stones, one two thousand stones, it seems that there is not much change~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But this is the difference between the deputy and the forehand, just like the county commander and the county magistrate, this is a qualitative leap, and Xunzhen is now It is still Marquis of Yingyin, there are not many Che Marquis in the whole empire, Xun Zhengui is Erqianshi and Marquis of Yingyin, but he still has no pretence, and he has not changed at all compared with before. He, it moved him very much.

He said, "It's been more than a year since I parted ways with the princes and princes. I have long wanted to come and pay homage to the princes and princes.

The "family affairs" he said was just an excuse. In fact, it meant that his father was running around for him to seek an official position. As a party, he definitely couldn't sit back and watch. He met a lot of people in many places, but unfortunately nothing was gained. Although he hadn’t come to pay homage to Xun Zhen for more than a year, he and Xun Zhen kept writing letters, and Xun Zhen was also clear about this. He smiled and said, “You and I are close friends. , why do you need to talk about these false rituals?" After a pause, he asked Handan Rong, "I don't know if you are here to see me this time, or do you want to stay in my county for a long time?"

Handan Rong said: "I don't lie to the lord, thanks to the help of the lord, I got a filial piety in the Zhao County, I wanted to use this to boost the reputation of the family, but the family has been running for me for more than a few years, but I got nothing, and today I come to see the lord. , but I want to stay with the lord for a long time, if the lord does not dislike me, I would like to go down for the lord again."

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "How can I despise you? I am in Wei County, whenever there is a difficult government, Chang Siqing can, and I wish to stay in Wei County for a long time, I can't ask for it! Quick, quick, you and I will enter the mansion Let's talk." Holding Handan Rong's hand, he turned into the mansion, entered the mansion, took two steps, Xun Zhen stopped, pointed at the flowers blooming by the mansion wall, and said with a smile, "Zhiqing is coming, Welcome the flowers."
