Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21
Cao Teng left in a hurry. Before he left, he deliberately made some disguises, such as putting on a high mountain crown, pretending to be an old Confucian studying abroad. He really didn't dare to return to Luoyang as an eunuch, even though he was among the party members, His reputation is not bad, but who knows if those scholar-bureaucrats who are already going crazy will listen to his explanation.

He Xiu also specially sent him off and sent Cao Teng away, and the matter gradually calmed down.

All kinds of bad news about the little fat man gradually dissipated, and the target of the fire was once again Hou Lan in the palace and his eagle dog.

"You, want to worship under the old man??"

He Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. This was the local young man who had persuaded the scholars before. Under He Xiu's scrutiny, the young man felt a little uneasy. , with thick hands, a resolute face, and a little weak manner, the little fat man also sat on the side and looked at him, frowning and looking at him. Why would he teach Liu Hong to death, so how could he accept disciples?

"Where are you from, and who is your last name?"

"Xing Yong, named Ziang, is from Hejian County."

He Xiu nodded and said no more, he felt that this kid was not bad, but he really didn't have the energy to teach apprentices, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, Xing Yong bowed motionless, but gradually disappointed in his heart, he originally wanted to Going out to study and increase knowledge, I finally met a great Confucian like He Xiu, but unfortunately the other party seemed to look down on me.

The little fat man was thinking seriously, Xing Yong, style name Ziang, Hejian Man, he looked at this boy suddenly, during these hours, he had already memorized the memorization of the book of heaven, and kept reviewing it, this guy, he I've heard of it before, and he's a pretty good official. The little fat man thought about it, and his name appeared in "Three Kingdoms Volume [-] Wei Shu [-] Biography of Cui Mao Xu He Xing Bao Sima" .

Seeing the little fat man's expression, He Xiu turned his head. Although he had a good memory, he only read the bible once, and there were some negligence in many places. For example, when Liu Biao said his name yesterday, the little fat man already knew that this The guy later occupied the Jingchu area, he didn't respect the name of the emperor, and as a great Han clan, he didn't want to serve the country. He only wanted to be his own tyrant in Jingchu. If only the master's sword cut yesterday was more accurate.

But this guy is different. He had a nickname at the time, called Xing Ziang, who is virtuous and dignified. Of course, these scholar-officials always put gold on their faces and made a lot of nicknames, but Xing Ziang, this guy, really He is a capable minister, and it is recorded in the Book of Heaven that when he was in office, he encouraged Nong Sang, made outstanding achievements in his career, and was loved by many people.

The little fat man was about to speak to persuade He Xiu to stay with him, when he saw He Xiu waved his hand and said, "Old man, old man, if you want to study, you can go to Fufeng, from Namanan County." Saying that, Xing Ziang was not angry, got up, bowed again, and said: "From what I saw yesterday, I know that there are people with false reputations, and those who are not false, so I would like to pay homage to my master."

"Manan County, you are better than me in talent and learning, so you can go by yourself."

He Xiu really didn't have the energy to teach his disciples anymore.

Xing Ziang sighed helplessly, bowed again, and just got up to leave, the little fat man said nothing, then followed him out, and they came to the courtyard together, Xing Ziang said: "Thank you for your hospitality, I don't have to send you far." The fat man said with a smile: "I would like to talk to Zi Ang about something, I don't know if I can allow it?" Xing Zi Ang was taken aback, looked at the fat man who was not yet ten years old, and nodded with a smile.

The two of them knelt and sat under a willow tree in the courtyard.

The little fat man didn't speak, he took off a willow branch and put it in front of him.

Xing Ziang smiled and said: "Young Lord, do you want to stay?"

"Hahaha, Ziang knows me, Tinghou is only a man, no one can help me, Wang Ziang helps me!", the little fat man got up and bowed, his face was calm, but his heart was pounding, this was his first time. It was the first time to recruit disciples, after learning the art of kingship for so long, this time it looked good, Xing Ziang didn't speak, just smiled.

After all, Liu Hong is only ten years old, no matter how you look at it, he is stubborn, and he doesn't seem to be talking about serious business. He is only an eight or nine-year-old boy, why recruit himself?Are you playing with me?

At this time, He Xiu was in the study, listening to their words carefully, after all, they were not far away.

"Does your family have a field?" The little fat man asked suddenly.

Xing Ziang was stunned for a moment, shook his head in a daze, and said bitterly: "I am Yu Ding." If the child grows up and does not separate the family, the Han Dynasty will impose heavy taxes on it. Therefore, the child will be forced to live as soon as he reaches the age of 16. If you leave, if you are a rich household, it is okay, and the sons of the divided family can still get some land, but if you are a poor household, the eldest son will inherit the family property, and the rest will find their own way out.

This is how the huge ranger forces in the Han Dynasty came about.

Without land, you can only wander around in your private parts. Among them, there are also those who change their identities and become scholars, and there are also those who oppress the people. They do all kinds of evil, but this is still relatively rare. Will kill you, kill you but also make a name for yourself, and if you become famous, there will naturally be a family of celebrities who will shelter you.

Wait a minute, wait for the emperor's amnesty, then you can come out.

The little fat man didn't get the answer he wished. Xing Ziang's biological mother was from Raoyang, so he was considered half of Raoyang. , and you look at the meat eaters, do you understand?" Xing Ziang didn't speak, but just listened, the little fat man was also a little nervous, could it be that his first recruitment was about to fail?

He really wants to recruit some followers. You know, the princes of the Han Dynasty all have their own princes, and a lot of staff and followers belong to him. It is completely a small court. After ascending the throne, they can quickly organize a The new imperial court wields great power. However, several generations of emperors have either been welcomed or ascended the throne without being crowned prince.

Therefore, eunuchs and relatives can constantly master the government, and it usually takes a long time for the emperor to master the government.

Of course, these are all He Xiu told himself. Therefore, if he wants not to become a puppet emperor, his subordinates must have their own power. The current emperor has no heirs, and the little fat man does not know whether he will be adopted by the emperor in the future. As the prince, this is not recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, and it is not even recorded when he ascended the throne of the emperor.

The little fat man doesn't know what the emperor should do, but he wants to be a good emperor, an emperor that both Master He and his mother can be proud of, and an emperor that the people of the world can support him like the people in Jieduting , So, he really wants to have his own power!Seeing Xing Ziang, he didn't want to let him go again. This person is from his hometown and has abilities. He will definitely be a good help in the future.

Seeing that Xing Ziang kept ignoring him, the little fat man decided to make a bigger move.

"Do you know why Master He refuses to accept you?"

Xing Ziang raised his head suddenly, looked at the little fat man, who raised his head, and said arrogantly: "Because of me, I am Liu Hong, Marquis of Jieduting! The great-grandson of Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang, the great-great-great-grandson of King Hejian Xiao! Nephew!", looking at Xing Ziang, the little fat man took off his robe, but inside was a very delicate black dragon and cloud pattern jacket with python patterns on both sides.

"This was given to me by the Son of Heaven. It is the Son of Heaven's will that Master He came to teach me! It is also the Son of Heaven's will to recruit staff and followers. Do you know why??"

As soon as the cowhide blows, not to mention Xing Ziang, even He Xiu's eyes widen. What is this kid talking about? How could this old man be sent by the emperor? Your clothes are gifted by the emperor, but that is also because he is against the party members Just!
