The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

After leaving the county seat and returning to Beiguoli, there are still many black and white flags hanging in the ancestral manor, and the sound of ritual recitation is long.

On the left and right of the stone avenue in the interior, many people also have decorative memorial objects, or the scenery of the ancestral manor, or the family members of the victims. Zu Zhao and the others walked slowly on the avenue, and they felt a murderous aura all the time, and the men in the north of the capital were more righteous, but once they really experienced the life and death situation, they would understand that some things were not as simple and easy as they imagined. Or maybe it's because this winter is coming more and more quickly...

The gate of the ancestral manor has been open in recent days, and after the gate is the vestibule of the front yard. Now it is arranged as an auditorium, and on the west side is the monks' way of doing things, sitting neatly and neatly, and all kinds of ritual instruments play a low but pleasant rhythm; To the east is to set up a banquet place, which is expected to last for more than 20 days of sacrifice, and every day and every hour will be a big feast, the dishes and wine and food are constantly rotated, and the guests will be seated immediately after they arrive to pay their respects. Ordinary people stop at the periphery of the courtyard, clan relatives stop at the hall of the courtyard, and distinguished guests and elders sit in the front hall.

Every time such a grand and long-lasting banquet is the most crowded, the most frequently replaced, and it must be the outermost guest seat. As long as you know a little about the families of the victims who were killed, you can go to the manor and stay for a while.

Although it was afternoon at this time, after Zu Zhao and others entered the village along the gate, they still saw the front yard and the front hall staggered. Many diners and visitors saw the eldest prince and others coming back, and they hurriedly got up to greet them, and many of them were swaying and drunk. Regardless of whether these people know each other or not, whether they are meager or noble, Zu Zhao is polite.

Turning to the front hall, there are a few guests in the hall, all of whom are wealthy families from neighboring counties and townships. Zu Zhao and these people exchanged salutes.

As soon as they came out of the front hall, there were two servants standing on the side of the back door, and they saluted Zu Zhao one after another. A servant said: "The eldest prince can be regarded as back, and there are guests from the village, and he is in the middle hall at this time."

Before Zu Zhao opened his mouth to ask, Zu Ke behind him said with resentment: "There are distinguished guests coming to the door every day these days, and what is a strange thing, it is nothing more than a walk through the motions." The

servant bowed his head and said, "It seems that the guest who came at the right time has come to discuss the matter of the thief five days ago." The old man also instructed the servants to let him go to the side hall if the eldest prince returned.

When Zu Zhao entered the door, he saw a lot of horses parked outside the gate, including Chinese cars and big cars, but he thought that there were many cars driving back and forth on weekdays, so he didn't pay attention to it. Now listening to the slave say this, it can be seen that there are indeed some great guests in the house. He didn't ask much, just bowed his head slightly, and then hurried to the side hall of the middle hall.

Outside the courtyard of the central hall, I saw seven or eight figures on the porch near the main hall, several of whom were young children of the ancestral family, and the others were all wearing black clothes and wearing official swords at their waists, looking like guards or doormen. These people were chatting casually, and from time to time they looked in the direction of the hall. Zu Zhao stepped forward along the corridor, the children of the Zu family were busy saluting, but the black-clothed swordsmen did not move much, and they did not bow their hands to Zu Zhao until they were introduced by the children.

A disciple ran into the side hall earlier to report, and Zu Zhao followed closely behind.

The atmosphere of the side hall is orderly, the grandfather and ancestor sit on the seat, Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei sit on one side, and on the other side there are three guests dressed in fine clothes and hanging brocade belts from their waists. Zu Zhao recognized one of the three guests at a glance, it was none other than Zhang Yuan's cousin of Anyang Pavilion and Zhang Nan, the lieutenant of Fanyang County of Zhuo County. As for the other two guests, the person at the top of the table was dignified, majestic, bearded, and not more than thirty years old, and had a aristocratic demeanor; The person who lives on the side is sturdy and dignified, and his age is almost the same as that of Zhang Nan.

Zu Zhao still had doubts in his heart: This time he should have been a dignitary, why did he only let Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei sit with him?

After Zu Ju saw Zu Zhao enter the door, his face was solemn, and he introduced to the three guests: "This son is my grandson." Zhao'er, come and meet the three adults. This is Lord Shi Gongsun Boju, the governor of Liaodong. After introducing Zu Zhao, he gestured to the guest who was on top.

When Zu Zhao heard the name of "Gongsun Bo Zhan", his heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly: It turns out that this person is Gongsun Zhan? However, in addition to being amazed, he soon became a little puzzled, Gongsun Chan should still be an unknown petty official in this period, why did he come to Xu Wuxian to visit his home at this time?

After a little hesitation, he packed up his sleeves and bowed to Gongsun Zhan: "The kid has seen Gongsun Zan."

Gongsun Chan laughed heartily for a while, stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Zu Gongzi is really extraordinary, and he deserves to be a young hero." When I saw it today, I was very relieved. Although

Gongsun Chan is a nobleman, he comes from a humble background, and he is indispensable to be cautious in his words and deeds, so he still knows how to interact with the children of the family.

Zu Ju also introduced: "This is Uncle Hao and Lord Shang Hao, who is engaged in the Cheqi General's Mansion. Zhang Boshen, the general of the chariot and cavalry, went north last month on the emperor's order to go north on the holiday festival and came to my Youzhou to recruit troops, preparing to go to Liangzhou to fight against the rebellion of Han Sui and Bianzhang. The day before yesterday, I heard that the local thieves were in trouble, so I sent Lord Hao to inquire about the matter. "

Zhang Boshen is Zhang Wen, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the word Boshen. Zhang Wen's trip north to Youzhou this time has a great connection with Gongsun Zhan's career. It can be said that Gongsun Chan jumped from a civilian official to a general with troops, precisely because Zhang Wen was single-handed. Zu Zhao couldn't help but think, he didn't take into account that there were so many unanimous big events in Youzhou during this time.

He bowed again and saluted Uncle Hao, who bowed slightly.

Zu Ju was about to introduce Zhang Nan, but Zhang Nan took a step forward with a smile and said: "Don't Lao Zu Lao Lao recommended the old general, I met the eldest prince in Anyang Pavilion the month before the next month, and I already know each other.

Zu Zhao also responded with a smile: "Brother Wen Qiao, don't come unharmed. After speaking, he still saluted.

Zu Ju was a little surprised that Zu Zhao and Zhang Nan met, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After the introduction, he asked Zu Zhao to sit down on the side, and Zu Zhao saluted Gongsun Zhi and Chun Yupei before entering the table.

"This time, what the three adults did when they visited was because there were many thieves in the border areas recently. A few days ago, Zhao'er led Benzhuang to break the thieves bravely, although it was a happy act, but there were also worries. Zu Ju said in a deep tone.

"My general Zhang went to Youzhou to recruit troops this time, originally to suppress the rebellion of the alien race in Liangzhou, the former Japanese county Liu Taishou took the book to order the thieves in the county, and my general attached great importance to this matter, so he appointed me Hao Yan to come to learn more." Shu Shang is his character, his real name was originally Hao Yan, he put on a solemn posture and said meticulously.

"Zhao'er, you just went to see Chen Xianjun, what do you say?" Zu Ju asked.

Zu Zhao met with Chen Xianjun before, and he didn't talk about the impact of the thieves at all, he originally planned to win over Chen Xianjun to correct the matter first, so that more people could know that there was a conspiracy to make the thieves in Zhixian County this time. If you can't even do this, everything will be made up by the king of Lingzhi County, maybe what will become of this matter after it gets out. However, it is rare that Gongsun Zhan, Hao Yan, Zhang Nan and others are present now, so he naturally wants to use the prestige of these people to express his views.

"After meeting the county lord, I presented in detail the beginning and end of the thief. From the beginning of the thieves robbing the horses to the gathering of their crowds lurking in the woods, there are too many suspicious things from beginning to end. In addition, this matter involves Taiping Dao and Hu Thief at the same time, which makes Zai Xia have to think more. The Taiping Taoists spread all over the state and county, and their preaching and teachings seemed to relieve the suffering, but they lured the people into fear, and the believers were all intoxicated. In recent years, my Han has suffered a series of disasters and the people are poor, so I am afraid that the slightest mistake will cause turmoil in the world. Now that the local Taiping Taoists collude with the thieves and become traitors, isn't it a matter of trouble?

Zu Zhao sat upright, with a rigorous attitude, and told the opinions in his heart.

Regardless of whether Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Nan and others had foresight, or whether they could see the benefits in a heroic manner, he wanted to expose the dangers of Taiping Dao in advance. If all goes well, your plan will go as planned, and even if everyone in front of you dismisses it, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out, you will remember that someone had the foresight to point out the disaster.

After hearing these words, several people present either exchanged their heads and discussed or pondered. Even Zu Ju was touched by Zu Zhao's analysis, and frequently stroked his beard, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
