Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371 Xuzhou Three Heroes
After waiting for more than half an hour, the sky became darker and darker. When Chen Yu went in and out, he didn't know how many times, he saw a light in front of him, and several carriages were driving towards this side against the backdrop of the fire.

Seeing these carriages, Chen Yu already knew that this was probably a group of Huaiyin scholars.

Confucianism is the most important thing, and there are standards for clothing, food, housing and transportation. From ancient times to the present, "public carriages" have played an important role in ensuring the operation of government affairs. In the Han Dynasty, once scholars were recruited by the court, they could take the official carriages provided by the government to go to work in the Yamen. At this time, the concept of "bus" was closer to the so-called official vehicles in modern times. For example, "Historical Records Dongfang Shuo Biography" records: "Shuo entered Chang'an at the beginning, and when he wrote a letter on the bus, he used three thousand documents." Therefore, later generations "Bus car" is often used to refer to officials and exam candidates who are qualified to ride in public cars.

In the sixth year of Emperor Han Jing's Zhongyuan, he promulgated the earliest and most formed "public carriage" equipment and decoration standards in the history of the Chinese Dynasty. It was clearly stipulated that officials of different levels should ride in carriages of different specifications. Decoration reflects the difference in grade. Taking the car cover for shelter from rain and sun as an example, civilians are only allowed to use blue cloth to ride on the car, officials with a salary of less than 200 shi can use white cloth to cover it, 300 shi and above can use soap cloth, and those with a salary of more than [-] shi can use soap cloth.

The implementation of this system is relatively strict. It prohibits low-level officials from taking vehicles beyond the standard, and does not allow high-level officials to lower the specifications. If there is a violation, the trigger is very strict. For example, during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, a sacrificial ceremony was held, and it rained heavily and the road was muddy. Later, Lie Hou Wei Xuancheng rode there instead of taking a four-horse cart. After being bumped into by the officials, he was impeached for the crime of "degrading the vehicle". Emperor Xuan was furious, and actually cut off his position as Marquis.

This time Wangzheng recruited talents in the state, and all the carriages on which the scholars rode were prepared with a uniform style of "bus" for the counties and counties in various places. Yu recognized it immediately.

When he went out personally, the carriage was just entering the hall, the servants raised the curtain and put it on the shelf, and several people came out calmly.

What a big shelf, Chen Yu complained secretly in his heart, but on the surface, before anyone approached, he had already put on a warm smile.

When several subordinate officials led the visitors to come to him, they introduced: "This is Mr. Gongwei, the governor of our state, who is in charge of all matters concerning the recruitment of talents this time."

When talking about the official position, the few scholars still looked calm, but when they heard that the person in front of them was the Patriarch of the Xiapi Chen family, they immediately turned serious, and hurriedly returned the salute, and the voice of admiration was endless.

Chen Yu smiled and solemnly invited them to enter, while calmly taking the opportunity to look at the person coming across.

There are four people in Huaiyin's party, two of them have white hair at the temples, they are about the same age as him, the remaining one is in his prime and the other is young.The proportion of old, middle-aged and young people is basically the same as that of other places.

Chen Yu even noticed that the two elders were more restrained in speech and behavior, respectful and cautious when saluting, and cautious when speaking, and even had to be humble for a while just for the sake of whoever walked forward and who left behind, which made Chen Yu feel at ease in an instant With judgment.

These two people must be from low families.

Looking at the man of the middle age, he is quite natural in comparison, that is.
It is also too open.

Since getting out of the car, the two eyes have been wandering around, without stopping for a moment, glancing here and there, looking at the decorations when looking at things, staying for a long time if there are jewels, and only looking at beautiful women when looking at people. Among the maidservants in the house, the young and beautiful ones look twice more, while the ugly ones are swept away.

Impetuous temperament, impure nature, embarrassment is of great use!

Chen Yu also lost interest in making friends in an instant.

The youngest person at the end was in his early twenties at the most, with a face like a crown of jade, and an imposing appearance. No matter how he spoke or behaved, he was calm and composed, and he had a clear and unrestrained demeanor, especially when he was around him. Against the background of his mediocrity, he looks more and more outstanding.

After a rough scan, Chen Yu already knew it in his heart.

This person should be that Bu Zhi.

When everyone entered the hall, the scholars who had come early in the hall quickly got up to greet them.Everyone is from the territory of Xuzhou. In addition, those who can study in the Han Dynasty are basically gentry. They either have contacts with each other from this generation or the previous generation. Even if they have never met, they are well-known for a long time. After a while, they looked up and were polite for a long time before they were seated separately.

At this time, the subordinate officials had already checked the roster and came to Chen Yu to report in a low voice. Chen Yu nodded slightly. As expected, the elders had no reputation. His name is Cui Ling, and he has some literary talents, but it is rumored that he has a bad temperament.

As for the young man, he is Bu Zhi, who has gained fame in recent years. Not only that, but his family background is also prominent. The Bu family in Huaiyin has existed for a long time. In this place, Bu was the clan, and later there were 72 Confucian sages, Bu Shucheng, and during the Qin and Han Dynasties, some of the Bu clan were generals, and they made the Marquis of Huaiyin with their merits, so the Bu clan became a big clan in Huaiyin. The background is even higher than his Chen family.

Waiting for the servant girl to serve tea, Chen Yu looked around the audience, and said with a smile: "When the princes of Huaiyin arrive, there will be a group of virtuous people, and this hall is now very splendid. Wang Zhoumu has always been thirsty for talents. Knowing that, you must be overjoyed.”

In the seat on the right, a person said: "The state shepherd decided Xuzhou, and the first thing he did was to recruit sages, Jin was not talented, he was among them, and he didn't dare to be arrogant, but he also deeply felt that the state shepherd valued literature and respected Confucianism. Sincerity. At a time when the universe is boiling and warriors are rampant, Zhou Mu's move is really unusual. Such a young and wise master is sincerely a blessing to the community and the people."

The person who spoke was Gao Mingjin, from Tan County in the East China Sea.

Hearing this, Chen Yu nodded with a smile, and was about to echo a few words, but heard a sneer from the desk chair on the left.

Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw a man in his thirties, with a short stature and a rough and almost ugly face. Wearing a long robe on his body did not look elegant, but looked abrupt, and Chen Yu was even more stunned.

This person's appearance is not good, how can he be recommended by the place?

At the same time that counties and counties in various places recommended scholars, an official document was also sent along with them.It described in detail the various situations of the recruited scholars, such as their local reputation, dictatorship knowledge, family background, personality preferences, etc. Under the doubts in their hearts, Chen Yu was not in a hurry to make trouble. There is a demon, so I picked up the roster to look at it first, and suddenly realized it.

Oh, it was recommended by Zhang Zhao.

It turned out that this person's name was Yan Jian, who was from Pengcheng. He came to Xiapi this afternoon, and he never said a word, but he always sneered a few times when people praised Wang Zheng and flattered him.

This made Chen Yu a little confused. If you don't want to be an official of Wangzheng, why do you ask Zhang Zhao to recommend it?
However, looking at Zhang Zhao who was behind the other party, Chen Yu suppressed his displeasure, pretending not to hear, just smiled and said: "Every hero has been gifted by heaven, how can it be regarded as commonplace? It is not comparable to ordinary peers."

"Among the troubled times, meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty in Xuzhou is not only the blessing of the country and the people, but also an opportunity for the kings, just like a high king"

Speaking of this, Chen Yu waved his hand to signal: "The old man's nephew wrote a letter a few days ago, and he was full of praise for Gao Jun. He also said that he was already famous in the village when he was fifteen years old. The talent of the country, Mr. Gao is a well-known family in Xuzhou for many generations, Mr. Gao enters this museum now, and his take-off is just around the corner."

Hearing Chen Yu's praise, Gao Jin was filled with humility, but the smile in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

Chen Yu said, "The Gao family was originally a famous family in Xuzhou for many generations." ', this sentence is genuine, not fake at all.

Gao Jin's youth is Zaohui, he is a well-known talent in the East China Sea, and he has always claimed to be a hero.

What is a hero?Since he is a hero, of course he must be aware of current affairs.

Therefore, when Liu Bei was the governor of the state, he refused to become an official, but when Wang Zheng became the governor of the state, he immediately came to vote. This is the knowledge of current affairs.

Although the former belonged to the clan of the Han family, they were minor generals and lacked money and food. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the three counties of Xuzhou were in Liu Bei's hands, and they might be taken away before they were warmed up.

Although the latter is a Yellow Turban bandit, he is young and promising, has a large number of people, and is thriving day by day. Which one should he choose?it goes without saying.

In fact, since Wang Zheng took Taishan County, Gao Jin wanted to vote.

He is a corrupt Confucian who knows nothing about martial arts, Mount Tai is a valuable source of soldiers, and Pengcheng is a fortified city. In fact, many people have secretly favored the king's government at that time, especially since he is not like ordinary yellow scarf thieves. To eat up the big households like locusts made the gentry feel that they were quite far-sighted and might have the possibility of success.

But in the end, because of concerns about his reputation, Gao Jin finally shelved the matter in hesitation. After the general situation of the king's government was established, he wanted to vote again, but the door was not so easy to find. When the government called for it, he took the initiative to ask for it early.

Most of the scholars who came here had a mentality similar to Gao Jin's. As for Yan Jian, this trip was not out of the original intention, but there were some, but not many.

Chen Yu said a few words, and seeing that the people from Huaiyin, especially Bu Zhi, had been silent, he stopped talking and signaled the maids to start serving the dishes.

The so-called effective from top to bottom, Wang Zheng himself never exaggerated in terms of basic necessities of life, even though he never advocated simplicity on the surface, the people below did not dare to be extravagant and wasteful in public.

At this time, Chen Yu would not take any risk of making Wang Zheng bored. Therefore, even if he received these scholars, the meals he prepared were not rich. Each person had only three or four dishes before the table, but the taste was very good. , color, fragrance and taste.Considering that there are also big-bellied men among the scholars, and they have come from afar, no matter the food is provided, they can eat whatever they want.

As soon as the dishes were served, someone from outside the hall hurried in and came to Chen Yu's seat and whispered in his ear for a while, then he saw Chen Yu's complexion changed, and he got up with a flick of his sleeves:
"Is the state shepherd here?"

The hall was silent for a while, and then there was a buzzing, many people whispered to each other and discussed in low voices. Gao Jin and the others hurriedly put down their chopsticks, straightened their appearance, or stood up respectfully, either nervously or unexpectedly.They guessed that Wang Zheng would come, and they thought they would wait until after dinner, but they didn't expect to come so early.

Seeing other people acting like this, Yan Yan showed disdain and snorted coldly, but ignored him and continued to munch on his own.

After a while, amidst the sound of footsteps, two soldiers came in to take a look, but without saying a word, they turned their heads and went out again.

Gao Jin and others who were keen on fame and fortune waited for a long while, but they never saw the young state herdsman show up. Just when he was wondering, the little official who came in to report the letter came in for the second time and waved at Chen Yu again and again, as if Signal it to go out.

Chen Yu didn't dare to be negligent, he bowed his hands to everyone, hurriedly raised his official robe, and stepped out.

Everyone was at a loss and didn't know what it meant, they looked at each other in silence, Gao Jin sat outside, and after thinking about the meeting, he boldly took a few peeks outside the hall.

In the dark night, the torches in the courtyard were blown by the wind, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, with shadows of people flickering, and occasional horses neighing, adding to the deep cold of the night.

After a while, the scholars couldn't hold back and started discussing in a low voice.

"Why doesn't Zhou Mu come into the church?"

"Maybe still on the way?"

"Then why did Mr. Gongwei go out?"

"This" someone guessed: "That means Zhou Mu has arrived in the museum, so let him go first?"

Another said: "Zhou Mu is familiar with the art of war, and pays attention to knowing himself and the enemy. Or, I want to know about the reception first."

"It makes sense, just wait for Mr. Gongwei to come back."

Everyone whispered and guessed.After a while, Chen Yu was alone, and turned back, which again surprised everyone.

"Mr. Gong Wei?" Gao Jin was disappointed when he still didn't see Wang Zheng, so he couldn't help but asked eagerly, "Dare to ask Zhou Mu but... is he here?"

Hearing this, Chen Yu glanced at him, and silently lowered his evaluation in his heart. At the same time, he looked around at everyone, sighed first, and then slowly said: "Zhou Mu heard from the guards that you are still eating, and you don't want this. It's time to bother you."

"So retreat to the hospital and wait." Chen Yu's face was full of emotions, and his tone was even more embarrassing: "I will meet you again after dinner."

After saying a word, everyone has different thoughts and expressions.

There are people who are dumbfounded and can't believe it.

His complexion was shaken, and it was common for those who changed their reserve.

Slightly moved, then still sneered, some were self-confident.

Gao Jin was the most exaggerated. He immediately bowed his hat off and kowtowed again and again: "It's winter now, and the wind is as cold as a knife. For a mere poor man, Zhou Mu, with a body of ten thousand gold, is willing to suffer the cold of the night wind. Although the ancient Duke of Zhou , and can’t reach it! The Lord of True Understanding.”

He stood up, turned his eyes to the crowd, and said in a loud voice generously: "It's Zhou Mu's wish to stand in the wind. But we are the people of Xuzhou, and Zhou Mu is like our parents. How can we have parents waiting here?" Outside the hall, in Chizi's high hall, what is the reason for accepting it majestically?"

Then he even called the maidservant, and said righteously and sternly: "Remove the table, I'm full!"

"I'm full too!"

"I'm full too!"

Seven or eight people followed closely behind, yelling and urging the food to be removed, and most of them followed suit.

Chen Yu watched with his eyes, and among the few people from Huaiyin, Cui Ling was also among those who asked to withdraw the meal.

Although the two old scholars did not speak, they were also touched.

Only the young Bu Zhi remained calm and self-confident, and remained silent throughout.

Amidst the clamor and clamor, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Servant, quickly add another bowl for me!"

Not only was this call full of anger, it was extremely discordant, and immediately attracted the attention of the audience, even Bu Zhi raised his head in surprise.

The speaker was none other than Yan Jian, a madman from Pengcheng.
