[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Cui Song didn't expect that he would be stopped outside the city, so he took a step forward and saluted: "I'm a student from Luoyang, and I came here with my servant, and I have to stay in Chang'an for a few days for some reason, and I hope the cavalry governor will let me go. "

At this time, students pay attention to the style of study tour, coupled with the chaotic current situation, the control of personnel flow is not as good as before. After Cui Song showed his identity certificate, the city guard should have let him enter the city, but for some reason, this person who made the decision Hu Qidu refused to give way.

This Hu Qidu's full name is Hu Fu, and he is the younger brother of Hu Zhen, a general of Dong Zhuo's department.After Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Hu Qidu was in charge of the gate of Chang'an City, in charge of all matters big and small.

After hearing Cui Song's words, Hu Fu didn't respond, and asked lazily, "What official position did you hold?"

Cui Song had a bad premonition: "Song has never been an official."

Because of age and filial piety, the original owner did not serve as an official.The year before last, he was promoted as a talented person, and he also pushed him away, so he politely refused.

Sure enough, this answer made Hu Fu even more perfunctory: "If you don't have an official position, don't enter the city. The emperor moved the capital soon, and we will strengthen our defenses. If all cats, cats and dogs want to crowd into Chang'an, where is the safety of the emperor? ?”

The former words are quite reasonable, but the latter words are simply hard to hear.The two servants who protected the lord wanted to explode on the spot, and even Xu Zhuo showed a sullen expression.

Cui Song's expression was calm, but his attitude turned cold: "I don't know if this is the meaning of the emperor, the grand master, or... the meaning of the cavalry governor?"

Hu Fu snorted coldly: "The last general is ordered to guard the city gate and protect the safety of the capital, which is his duty."

That is to say, this is what he meant?

Cui Song was a little uncertain whether Hu Fu's refusal to let them enter the city was really for the sake of Chang'an's security, or did he have other plans...for example, to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Cui Songsui said slowly: "Song Bo has a family..."

Hu Fu smiled contemptuously, showing impatience: "Needless to say, I'm so downcast that I use foreigners' bags, how much money can I have... Hurry up, don't block the city gate, if you bump into the nobles who come and go, you have ten rules." Life is not enough to pay."

Cui Song: ...

How can you be down and out if you use a foreigner's luggage?

Although this thing is not as refined as the Han people's things, it is much stronger and is definitely suitable for long-distance transportation.

In order to reduce the trouble of being robbed, several people dressed very plainly, but plainness does not mean poor. Cui Song really didn't understand where Hu Fu's conclusion that they were "down and out" came from.

He was about to explain, but he saw Hu Fu shifting his gaze, staring straight at the horses they left behind.

"These horses are pretty good." Hu Fu's eyes lit up, obviously thinking carefully.

Cui Song immediately said: "Lord Cavalry Governor, we have no plans to sell the horse."

"Sell?" Hu Fu sneered, "The emperor has just moved, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. It is time for these supplies. You don't want to serve the country and offer tribute, but you still want to sell?"

Cui Song didn't expect the other party to say such shameless words.

He thought that Hu Fu was greedy for their horses, and at most he bought them by force and sold them at a low price, or used them as money to buy roads, and threatened them with entering the city.

Unexpectedly, Hu Fu wanted to let them "pay tribute" without spending any money.

Not letting them enter the city, but also trying to snatch their horses by force, this cavalry governor surnamed Hu is simply rampant!

The servants behind him started to be restless, Cui Song stopped laughing completely, and said in a cold voice: "In the clear sky and bright day, the cavalry governor doesn't care much about the law."

"It's you who are presumptuous," Hu Qidu raised his hand, and the guards standing at the city gate surrounded him with malicious intentions, "The emperor worries about the humiliation of the ministers, and the emperor humiliates the ministers to death. For the sake of the emperor, the subjects should be smashed to pieces , why be stingy with a horse? Since you are a student, you should repay the emperor. You are reluctant to part with a few horses, and all the books are read into the stomach of a dog."

Hu Fu's ability to pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner is really powerful, not only made Xu Zhuo and others furious, but also couldn't refute for a while, and felt aggrieved.

Under such persecution, Cui Song calmed down: "If the emperor orders, let alone these few horses, it doesn't matter if you donate all your wealth." He spread his palms, "Dare to ask Hu Qidu—the emperor ordered where?"

Hu Fu said without hesitation: "We will be loyal to the emperor, why do we need an order from the emperor?"

"I'm afraid that some people will use the name of the emperor to abuse the inside and outside of the mausoleum, and tarnish the holy name of the emperor." Cui Song turned to the imperial city with a respectful look, "Your Majesty is young and promising, and if he loves the people like a son, he will definitely not do those tyranny What does Hu Qidu think?"

Hu Fu's expression changed slightly.

He "borrowed a horse" in the name of His Majesty, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by this little boy in the same name.

Young and promising, loving the people like a son, ghosts know that the little emperor is just a marionette, and they don't take it seriously... But what he thinks in his heart is one thing, his brain is not broken, it is impossible to say such outrageous words mouthful.

Hu Fu was a little annoyed by the rebuttal, and he, who had always been defiant, signaled the guards to act quickly, but he didn't even bother to do superficial efforts.

Seeing several guards approaching in a threatening manner, Xu Zhuo said angrily: "This is the son of Cui Fujue, the former chief minister and Guanglu doctor. How dare you do it?"

Hu Fu's face remained unchanged.Not to mention that he didn't believe Xu Zhuo's words, even if they were the sons of high-ranking officials—these Xiliang soldiers were fearless and always only obeyed Grand Master Dong's orders—they dared to kill even aristocratic families, so how could they be afraid.

Xu Zhuo and others did not expect that this group of guards would be so bold.Just when the situation was tense and was about to explode, Xu Zhuo, who was burning with anger, accidentally glanced to the side, and happened to see a familiar figure.

"Brother Wenhe?"

Surprised, Xu Zhuo couldn't care less about being filled with anger, and blurted out.

The middle-aged man who was about to enter quietly from a corner of the city gate paused, as if he had just noticed the movement here, and turned his head in surprise.

"Brother Ji Ming."

A middle-aged man came over.

"What happened?"

There was such a commotion here, Cui Song couldn't believe that the middle-aged man didn't notice.Seeing that the other party intends to enter the city quietly, he knew that the other party did not want to take this muddy water.Unexpectedly, after being called out by Xu Zhuo, the middle-aged man walked over generously, showing no reluctance or reluctance, but concern on his face.

"I remember that brother Jiming became a guest of Qinghe Cui's family, could this be a scholar of Cui's family?"

The middle-aged man pointed out Cui Song's identity as a son of Cui Song's family in one sentence, which made Hu Fu, who originally wanted to drive the middle-aged man away, look slightly changed, and he no longer cared about his uninvited presence.

Not only Xu Zhuo knew this middle-aged man, but Hu Fu also knew him.

However, Hu Fu's understanding was limited to "knowing".

He knew that this person's surname was Jia Mingxu, and his style was Wenhe. He was an auxiliary soldier under Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu's account.This person's official position is not high, and his identity is not obvious, but because he is quite sensible, has a set of rules in speaking and doing things, and is very witty, so Hu Fu has a little impression of him.

But this is "a bit of an impression", which is not taken seriously at all, let alone how many people he let go for his sake.

So when Jia Xu came over, Hu Fu's first thought was to scold and drive him away.But he didn't expect Jia Xu to be the first to win, so he temporarily dismissed this idea.

If the student named Cui Song is really a member of the family... Although they are soldiers of Dong Zhuo, they are not afraid of offending the people of the family, but this offense must be offended in a meaningful way. The brain is sick.

Hu Fu already had the intention of retreating a little, but he has a good face, and he was so arrogant just now, he really couldn't hold back his face.

Xu Zhuo whispered in Cui Song's ear the identity of the middle-aged man.

Cui Song was surprised when he heard the middle-aged man's name.

Jia Xu……?That Jia Xu who was known as the poisonous man not only changed the fate of Han Xiandi and others, but also caused Cao Cao to suffer a great loss, losing his eldest son and beloved general, Jia Xu who almost confessed to himself?

Cui Song didn't expect to meet Jia Xu in such a situation, let alone Jia Xu had an old relationship with Xu Zhuo.

Knowing that Cui Song is a son of a noble family, Hu Fu still had a stern face at first, still speaking to Cui Song and the others.But when Jia Xu approached Hu Fu and whispered something in a low voice, Hu Fu suddenly changed his complexion, he no longer lost his previous arrogance, politely invited Cui Song into the city, and even scolded his subordinates, asking them to apologize to Cui Song.

Cui Song was very surprised and couldn't help wondering what Jia Xu had said to Hu Fu.

After sending Cui Song and others into the city, Hu Fu returned to the city gate.Jia Xu led Cui Song and Xu Zhuo into the post house, and sat down with them at a table near the window.

The two sides greeted each other and made introductions.When knowing Cui Song's name, Jia Xu seemed to be very surprised, obviously he had heard of Yuan Shen's talent and name.

Cui Song was very afraid of being seen by this legendary old fox... Although Jia Xu is still very young now, he may not be as cunning as he will be in the future.But when Jia Xu was young, he was able to fool the Di people around, fooling everyone into retreating, Cui Song did not dare to underestimate him.

Fortunately, he learned from his other self for two months, and at this moment he was able to hold back, laughing at Yan Yan with Jia Xuyan, you come and go, at least on the surface it seems to be a happy conversation.

After drinking and drinking for three times, Xu Zhuo asked the same thing that Cui Song was curious about: "Could it be possible that Wen He has a friendship with that Hu Qidu? How could a single sentence make the Qidu change his attitude and let us in without saying a word? "

"Xu is a junior official, how can he have such face." Although he was drinking with him, Jia Xu drank very restrainedly, and did not let himself have the possibility of getting drunk.

What Jia Xu said was very official, Cui Song and Xu Zhuo knew that he was cautious, so they didn't ask any more questions.

If we really break it down, what Jia Xu said to Hu Fu was actually two sentences.

One sentence mentioned Dong Zhuo, which sounded the alarm for Hu Fu; the other sentence was flattery, which paved the way for Hu Fu.

Like Hu Fu and other greedy Xiliang soldiers led by Dong Zhuo, they fear nothing but Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's attitude is their weather vane.When Dong Zhuo set his sights on money, they robbed them; Dong Zhuo wanted fame, so they slaughtered ordinary people and pretended to bring back thieves; Dong Zhuo was unhappy with the Yuan family, so they volunteered to destroy the Yuan family... Unfortunately When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he ruled out dissidents, killed many veteran officials, and offended the scholars severely. He felt a little regretful. Recently, he was very interested in "buying people's hearts" and "promoting famous scholars".

Hu Fu didn't dare to go against Dong Zhuo's will. After knowing that Cui Song was not only a son of a family, but also a celebrity, he could only give in.Not to mention that Jia Xu kindly gave him a step up.

Cui Song didn't know the inside story, but having read Jia Xu's biography, he was very aware of Jia Xu's grasp of people's hearts, so apart from curiosity, he didn't have any other feelings such as surprise.

A few people sat for a while, and suddenly heard the noise outside, which seemed to be a commotion.

Cui Song and others heard the screams outside, and their expressions gradually changed: "What happened?"

"I think Taishi Dong's army is 'maintaining law and order' again," Jia Xu sat calmly on the spot.Whether it was intentional or not, he suddenly sighed, "It's no wonder—someone like Xun Gongda did such impulsive things as 'assassinate Dong'."

Cui Song shook his hand and almost dropped the wine bottle to the ground: "What did you say?"
