Huan Rong

The prefecture and county system was implemented in the Jin Dynasty, and the official system followed the Eastern Han Dynasty. The prefectures had governors, counties had prefects, large counties had magistrates, and small counties had magistrates.

The military administration of the prefect in charge of the state is different from that of a leader and a bicycle.

Xi Yin was the leader of the assassination envoy, added the title of general, and supervised the military forces of Xu, Yan, Qing, You, and Yangzhou's Jinling.

According to the words of later generations, Xi Cishi was basically carried on the shoulders of the governor, secretary of the provincial party committee and commander of the military region.Occasionally, he also plays a guest role as the president of the military court, and his power is astonishing.

Since Xi Jian's death, the Xi family has gradually declined, and it has no longer been at its peak.But as far as Xi Yin is concerned, he is still an important minister of the court and should not be underestimated by anyone.

Huan Rong and his party arrived at Jingkou by detour, two days later than the original date.Xi Yin received a report from his servant, and went out of the mansion to meet him in person, which really gave Huan Rong enough face.

The carriage stopped in front of the governor's mansion, Huan Rong walked out of the carriage as fast as he could, jumped off the shaft, bowed his hands and said: "I have seen Mr. Xi."

Xi Yinlang laughed, and without waiting for Huanrong to bow down, he held his arm and said, "I have an old relationship with Nanjun Gong, and my son is also under Nanjun Gong's account. You don't need to be so polite."

Xi Chao got off the carriage, and waited until Huan Rong stood up straight before going forward to salute Xi Min.

"Father."

"kindness."

Xi Yin's attitude was lukewarm, but concern flashed in his eyes, which happened to be caught by Huan Rong.The latter couldn't help but sigh inwardly, someone else's father.

Xi Chao followed Huan Wen with all his heart, and even plotted against his own father, while Xi Yin still cared about his son's safety.Sending Liu Laozhi out of Beijing was firstly motivated by Xie Xuan's persuasion, and secondly, it was more or less concerned about his son.

Liu Canjun stepped forward to return his orders, and the rest of the soldiers returned to the camp.

More than 40 carts bypassed the front door and were led by the Xifu Jianpu to the guest residence.

Xi Yin took Huan Rong's forearm and led him into the mansion himself.The handsome face is full of smiles, it's not like seeing a subordinate official, it's more like meeting a favorite junior.

Huan Rong dealt with it carefully while looking at it carefully.

Also holding a lot of power, Huan Da Sima is full of evil spirits, and he can be seen as the leader of the army at a glance.Xi Cishi was gentle and elegant, and was closer to the literati in the Jin Dynasty.If you change the dark clothes and put on a big shirt, you will be 100% a celebrity, handsome and unrestrained, very unmatched.

When the two approached, Huan Rong smelled a familiar smell, noticed the slightly elevated body temperature of the person beside him, recalled what Jiankang had seen, and immediately confirmed that the person in front of him was also a fan of Hanshi San.

Huan Rong knew that Hanshi San was not a good thing, taking it for a long time would definitely cause disaster.But nowadays people regard "taking drugs" as a fashion, and Xi Yin is also a fan of health preservation and immortality, so it may not be useful to speak out by himself, and [-]% of them will make the relationship between them stiff.

Thinking of this, Huan Rong gritted his back molars, in the end reason prevailed, and he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xi Yin called someone to lead Huan Rong to the guest house for a rest, and said that he would hold a dinner party for Huan Rong and send someone to invite him later.

"Thank you, envoy, please leave."

In someone else's territory, but also to be an official under someone else's hands, it is always better to be more polite.

Huan Rong's respect was greatly appreciated by Xi Yin, and he watched him leave, then turned his gaze back to Xi Chao who was sitting with him, and his smile disappeared immediately.

"Guests."

Xi Chao immediately sat upright and listened to the training respectfully.

"I asked you a few years ago, and if I ask you now, are you still confused?"

"Father, Lord Nanjun is a hero of the times." Xi Chao raised his head, his gaze was firm, without any dodging, "The Jin Dynasty is weak, incompetent and incompetent to recover the lost land in the North, and if they want to drive away the barbarians, the Han Dynasty should have a hero."

After staring at Xi Chao for a while, Xi Yin said in a deep voice, "You said Huan Yuanzi is a hero?"

"Returning to my father, my son never spoke in vain. It is an indisputable fact that Da Sima led the Northern Expedition for the second time and regained the lost land once."

"I have not denied his achievements." Xi Min shook his head and said, "But in my opinion, Huan Yuanzi can be called a traitor, not a hero."

"Father!"

"Tiger poison does not eat its offspring."

The five words were so loud that Xi Chao was speechless.

In history, no "hero" has really attacked his own son, unless the latter committed a crime of treason.Of course, the emperor's house is an exception.

Huan Da Sima coveted the land and army in Xi Yin's hands, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own son, without the slightest affection between father and son, and did not leave any room for his goal.Xi Chao participated in it from beginning to end, so he was naturally speechless to refute.

"You like reading history books since you were young, and you especially recommended the heroes of the late Han Dynasty." Xi Min suddenly changed the subject and said, "Let me ask you, is Huan Yuanzi comparable to Emperor Wu of Wei?"

Xi Chao's expression was slightly condensed, and after a long time he said, "It's incomparable."

"Cao Mengde coerced the emperor to order the world to be respected and prominent, and the government and the people looked sideways. Did he ever call himself emperor during his lifetime?"

"Never."

"Let me ask you again, among the sons of Huan Yuanzi, is there anyone who can match Emperor Wei Wen?"

"Nothing."

According to Xi Chao, Huan Xi is mediocre and has no talent, Huan Ji is narrow-minded, Huan Xin is soft-hearted, and Huan Yi doesn't matter.Huan Rong does have the appearance of being extremely noble, but he tends to be weak.Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty, followed his father to conquer the north and south since he was a child. He was both civil and military, which is by no means comparable to the Huan brothers.

"Since this is the case, how can Huan Yuanzi He De want to take the Sima family and replace him?"

It was no secret that Huan Wen wanted to rebel.The Jiankang court knew it, and the overseas Chinese and Wu surnames in Nandu also knew it well.

Xi Chao devoted himself to making suggestions for Huan Wen, not necessarily because of his family's consideration.However, in Xi Yin's view, Huan Wen has power in his hands, and the power is in the hands of the government and the public, but the Huan family is not among the high schools of Jiankang. Once Huan Wen falls, the Huan family is likely to have internal chaos, or even collapse.

Even if Huan Wen gets what he wants, it will only be a flash in the pan and cannot last long.With this concern, Xi Yin would never let Xishi be tied to Huanshi's boat.No matter how many times Xi Chao persuaded him, he was still unmoved.

"Guest, I will only say this for the last time."

Xi Yin had a serious expression on his face, and his tone was more dignified than ever before.

"Huan Yuan's son can't do it. Since you know the art of matching people, why didn't you find out that the Duke of Fengyang County is far more expensive than his father?"

Xi Chao smiled wryly.

It was when he discovered Huan Rong's "noble minister" that he suggested Huan Da Sima to act as soon as possible.But you can't say these words, if you say it, more than [-]% will be thrown out of the gate by your own father.

Huan Rong naturally had no way of knowing the conversation between Xi Yin and his son.

After leaving the guest room, Huan Rong walked along the corridor to the guest room. Along the way, from time to time, there were servants who looked around and whispered, "Mr. Huan's reputation is well-deserved".

Occasionally, Huan Rong was quite surprised when he listened to it twice.

I just wrote a picture on the Shangsi Festival, and then I became a prestige in front of Yu Xi's mansion. How did I become the "good talent and beautiful jade, with the style of scholars in the previous dynasty"?Furthermore, Jingkou is nearly a hundred miles away from Jiankang, so how could the news spread so quickly?

Could it be that there were too few entertainments in ancient times, and the folks needed gossip?

It's not surprising that a man of God like Xie An has someone to make a fuss about.I am not as good as the weak crown, but also the son of a powerful minister who is ready to rebel, is it worthy of such publicity?

Huan Rong passed the corner and looked at the clear sky and flowing clouds, feeling more and more puzzled.

Xi Yin has the title of county duke, and the layout of the governor's mansion is similar to that of Huan's mansion.

The guest house is divided into inner and outer rooms, the outer room is very spacious, and there are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.A screen was set up in the inner room, and the boy and the maid opened the suitcase and were lighting the incense burner.

"Lang Jun."

Huan Rong walked around the screen, the little boy immediately stepped forward to untie the silk belt around Huan Rong's waist.

The maidservants unfolded their blue robes and hung up the incense beside the censer.

"Your Majesty is hosting a banquet, and Mr. Lang cannot go there with a sword."

The servant named A Mi was brought out from the palace by Princess Nankang, and she was mainly responsible for taking care of the princess's dowry and was extremely loyal to the princess.When Huan Rong traveled far to Yandu, Princess Nankang specially transferred her to help arrange Huan Rong's clothes and "small treasury".

The maidservant of Xi's mansion brought hot water, Huan Rong cleaned his hands and face, washed away the dust of the journey, asked the boy to find out the letter of Huan Da Sima, put it together with the prepared Hepu beads, and handed it to Xi Min after the banquet .

The letter has not been opened, but the content of the letter is no longer a secret.

Touching the red mole on his forehead, Huan Rong sat down beside the low couch, spread out the paper, picked up a pen and wrote two letters, one was sent to Gushu with the assassin, the other was sent back to Jiankang, and handed over to Princess Nankang.

The little boy put the envelope into the wooden box, and Ah Mi went out to call the loyal servant, and gave them careful instructions. The latter didn't have time to rest, so he packed his bags that day and prepared to return to Jiankang along the waterway.

"Be sure to tell my mother that I'm fine. Please don't worry, my mother. When sending a letter to my old friend, I will briefly publicize the assassin's story. There is no need to mention my father, just Yu Shi."

"promise!"

The loyal servant solemnly promised, and replied: "Lu Ben is not trustworthy, and the servants will leave three people, and the gentleman can be dispatched in case of trouble. There are also people with unclear thoughts among the guards and servants, and the gentleman must be careful."

Huan Rong nodded, and the loyal servant pointed out several guards, and took away Lu Ben who had led him astray before, making up his mind to leave him in Gushu with the thief.If it's not feasible, just solve it on the road.

All in all, they bear the orders of His Highness, and they must not let such a person stay by Lang Jun's side.

Jingkou is the gateway to the east of Jiankang, close to the Beifu army garrison, it is a real military town.Loyal servants who lead people away need to report in advance and obtain customs defense documents before they can travel by water.

Xi Yin learned what had happened from Liu Laozhi's mouth, and immediately ordered the recorder to issue a document, and dispatched a fine and strong escort from the government army.

"I have a letter to send to Jiankang, and I can send someone to go with me."

Huan Rong knew the other party's intentions and knew that he could not refuse politely, so he agreed generously and thanked Xi Cishi for his kindness.

Coincidentally, the person Xi Yin sent was Liu Laozhi again.

Facing this result, Liu Canjun didn't want to say anything more.Anyway, he has already been brought into the pit, and the pit has been a pit several times. It really doesn't matter whether the person who dug the pit is the Duke of Fengyang County or his own envoy.

When it was time to light the lanterns, Liu Canjun boarded the boat and set off.The governor's mansion was brightly lit, and a banquet was held in honor of Huan Rong and his party.

At the banquet, Xi Yin took the lead, and Huan Rong was allowed to be the host and guest.Xi Chao sat opposite him, and Bie Jia and Zhi Zhong attended.As the music played, several beauties entered one after another, raised their sleeves and bowed their waists, and danced in a whirl.

Xi Yin raises his glass and invites Huan Rong to drink with him.

"Forgive me, Mr. Xi, but I can't stand the wine, so I pour three cups at once."

Huan Rong was aware of himself, so he had no intention of slapping his swollen face to pretend to be fat, pretending to be a huge amount.Xi Yin was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed out loud.

"Three cups is three cups, sir please!"

When everyone drank together, the atmosphere of the banquet became stronger.

In the middle of the banquet, a healthy servant brought up a large copper plate with a round cover turned upside down, which was obviously heavy.

The music suddenly stopped, and the dancers bowed and retreated.

Xi Yin stepped down from the main seat, took the silver dagger from the plate, and said to Huan Rong with a smile: "This is a cooking method from the north, has Mr. Lang tried it?"

While speaking, the round cover was lifted by a healthy servant, and the aroma of barbecue immediately filled the air.

Huan Rong took a closer look, and found that the plate was a whole browned lamb, the skin was roasted crispy, and it was covered with spices from the Western Regions, which was really tempting.

Xi Yin picked up the dagger and slashed open the sheep's body, the fragrance became more intense.Immediately, a servant came forward, took out the whole chicken from the incision, opened the chicken belly, and there were two sparrows!

Huan Rong didn't expect that he could see such a way of eating in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.What's more, he didn't expect that a contemporary celebrity with a cool breeze and bright moon and quite the temperament of a fairy would not violate the law in the slightest when he picked up a knife.

Sure enough, I don't know enough about the times and need to study in depth.

After three cuts, Xi Yin put down the dagger and picked up a cloth towel to clean his hands.

The healthy servant took his place, disassembled the roast lamb in twos and twos, and divided it into the pre-prepared lacquered plates.Two sparrows were placed separately, one was sent to Xi Yin's table, and the other was sent to Huan Rong.

Scanning the items on the plate, Huan Rong looked at Xi Yin who was in the main seat, who was nodding with a smile and raising a lamp to him.

No matter how ignorant Huan Rong was of politics, he could guess that these "two sparrows" were not simple, they were probably a temptation from the other party.

According to his current status and status, he deserves so much attention from Xi Cishi, so he spent a lot of time on the banquet?Or the enemy's enemy is a friend, knowing that he and the scumbag are at odds, Xi Shishi plans to take the opportunity to win him over?

Huan Rong thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply picked up the sparrow and brought it to his mouth, and bit it into pieces with a few bites.Then he raised his glass to Xi Cishi and showed his snow-white front teeth.

Xi Chao choked on the wine directly, and his cough was very eye-catching.

Xi Yin's smile froze on his face, the wine cup stopped in the air, and there was only one thought in his mind: Is this young man really ignorant or just pretending to be confused?Could it be that he is so old that he can't even guess the mind of a mere young man?

In other words, smart people are really easy to think too much.

When encountering a "talent" like Huan Rong, it would be difficult for Xi's father and son to think that they could not become Monk Zhang Er.
