The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Second more.

——

After Qin Gan conveyed the award from the county lord, he instructed the servant to take a basket of money from the chariot and put it in the hall. The leader of the thief is Wang Shen, who is already dead. They have committed many crimes all the way north from Jiaxian County. There are many purchase rewards in the counties along the way. After sending the text to the counties that listed the reward, their reward will be added to the county's reward, and they will be distributed in a few days."

"Purchase rewards in this county?"

"These gang of thieves are very daring. After they entered my territory, they besieged the pavilion of Shating in Beixiang and killed Shating for robbery. They must be severely punished and exterminated. The day before you killed the thief, the county magistrate had already decided to set up a purchase order. Rewards, those who can capture and kill their canals will buy 100,000 yuan, and those who can capture and kill one of their henchmen will pay 50,000 yuan.  …, I just didn’t expect that before you can spread the word about the township and pavilion, you are already gone. peers."

The leader has one hundred thousand, and the subordinates have one 50,000. In total, you can get more than one million dollars in rewards. Coupled with the purchase rewards of "counties along the way", it may break 2 million. This is a real treasure.

Qin Gan knew about Xun Zhen's family situation and knew that he was just a "middle family" with a family capital of around 100,000, so when he said these words, he paid attention to his reaction intentionally or unintentionally, but saw him from the beginning to the end. In the end, the expression was the same, and there was no surprise and gaffe as imagined.

Qin Gan nodded secretly, thinking: "Suddenly hearing about the million-dollar fortune, calm and calm, it seems that the county lord's comment on him the day before yesterday is correct!" He smiled: "Xun Jun heard the drum and draped his clothes, galloping to the neighbors at night, and personally attacked him. Fire, all the bandits will be arrested and executed. The county magistrate hears it and is amazed! He repeatedly praised Xunjun not only for his gentleness, but also for being virtuous in the village, and for his courage and determination. If the officials in the townships and pavilions in the county can be like Lord Xun, then he can be like Cao Xiangguo, drinking alcohol to entertain himself day and night, and he doesn’t need to be a director!”

Cao Xiangguo, also known as Cao Can. Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, after he took over as prime minister, obeyed Xiao He's constraints without any changes, advocating quietness and inaction. The magistrate Zhu Chang took Cao Can as an example, not only praising Xun Zhen, but also praising the former magistrate, and at the same time, it can be seen that he has a great ambition.

Xun Zhen said humbly: "If there is no hometown Qiangfu Xie Wu and You Yu Zuoqiu, Zhen will not be able to do anything."

"Xiang Qiangfu Xie Wu? ..., I forgot to tell Xun Jun that the county lord has made him the head of the family. As long as the county has approved your appointment to be promoted to Xiang Qiangfu, he will go to the county to serve Official!" Qin Qian stroked his beard, the more he saw Xun Zhen, the more he liked it, and said with a smile, "..., 'If there is no Xiang Qiangfu Xie Wu, you will not be able to do anything'. Xun Jun, are you still hiding from me? ?"

Xun Zhen's heart moved, and she thought: "Listening to Qin Qian's meaning, it seems that you already know that I am pushing for merit?" She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by Qin Jun?"

"Xie Wudu said it in front of the magistrate! It was all your credit for killing the thief that night, just because you thought that he and Zuo Qiu were your superiors, so you gave the credit to each other.  …, Xun Jun, you are here This is quite the style of Chen Taiqiu in Xu County! If you are good, you will be called the king, and if you are wrong, you will be called yourself. The way of being a minister is just like this."

"If you are good, you will be called the king, and if you are wrong, you will be called yourself." To put it bluntly, it means that the credit is given to the Shangguan, and the culprit takes the blame. In his early years, Chen Taiqiu did such a thing for Cao Shi in the county, "the world obeys its virtue". Because the folk customs of the Han Dynasty were simple, and the court regulations were not strict, for example, the county governor and the county magistrate had the power to eliminate subordinate officials. Therefore, some people who were subordinate officials would regard the Shangguan as "the emperor". The monarch worries about the labor of the ministers, and the monarch humiliates the ministers to death. ——This is also a manifestation of "shangqi and righteousness".

Qin Qian was a standard Confucian scholar, and he was very particular about these things, so he admired Xun Zhen's actions very much. This is true of Qiangfu and Youyou who are not real Shangguan, so of course it will be the same for real Shangguan! By extension, naturally not to mention the Son of Heaven.

To be honest, Xun Zhen really didn't expect that Qin Qian would contact Chen Yu of Xu County for his act of giving credit, and praised him for his style of Chen Yu. ——Chen Yu and others? They are the elders of his father "Er Long" Xun Wan, and Xun Lai's father "Shen Jun" Xun Shu and the elders Zhong Hao and Wuyang Han Shao are also called "Yingchuan Four Chiefs". The only surviving celebrity dean.

He was really frightened, and said repeatedly: "Jun Qin is wrong, and Jun Qin is wrong!"

"Do you know how the county lord commented on you after he found out that you crossed the border to attack thieves and pushed for merit?"

"I don't know."

"After Xie Wu and Zuo Qiu left, the county lord had a conversation with the right officer Liu De. Shi Wu, Li Ai, the rafter officer, Hu Mianbing, and the rafter officials, and the lords of Wen Zhi sat by the side, and listened to the county lord saying: 'Old the Xun family. The dragon is in the front, and the tiger is in the back'."

Xun Zhenxun thanked him and said, "All the fathers of the Zhen family are well-known in the world, and all the brothers and sisters are outstanding. How can you be virtuous, how can you be called 'milk tiger'?" Everything else can be modest, but when it comes to the clan Time not to be humble.

Qin Gan smiled and said: "If you talk about the prosperity of talents, the Jun family is the first in Yingchuan. After the county lord said this, Gong Cao Li Ai asked: 'He Yong of Nanyang thinks that there is Wang Zuocai in the text. If Zhen is a milk tiger, then How about Wen Ruo'? Guess how the county lord answered?"

Xun Zhen said sincerely: "Wen Ruo's talent is a hundred times better than me."

"The county lord replied: 'Wenruo, young phoenix'."

"Chiao Feng?"

"'Tigers are heavy and powerful, and can travel thousands of miles; phoenixes are handsome, but they do not perch unless they are phoenix trees'."

The seventeen-character comments by the county magistrate Zhu Chang summed up his impressions of Xun Zhen and Xun Yu respectively.

The Xun clan is a famous family in Yingyin. After Zhu Chang came to serve as the county magistrate, he had a lot of contacts with the Xun family. He was very familiar with the juniors of the Xun family such as Xun Yu and Xun You. In the past few months, Xun Zhen had surprised him many times, and it was considered to be a better understanding. These sixteen-character comments use the characteristics of tigers and phoenixes to describe people, and they are concise and to the point.

Xun Zhen said in his heart: "'The tiger is heavy and powerful, and can travel a thousand miles', this is to say that I am not as talented as I am, but I can stand on my own. , high ambition."

He was silent for a moment, and said the same sentence just now: "Wen Ruoqi is a hundred times better than me. The young phoenix's comment is exquisite and appropriate. . . Zerming, since the county magistrate Zhu Chang made this evaluation, he also wanted to know the reason. In other words, he also wanted to know what kind of person he was in the eyes of others.

"Hu Mian, the rafters officer, also asked this question at the time. The county lord replied: 'In the third month of the reign of Zhenzhi, a pavilion with Yan Ran's prestige spread far and wide, causing Gao Su to bow down and making the group of thieves dare not commit crimes'. A down-to-earth person cannot do this, so I know that although he is heavy, he can travel thousands of miles. ... The rafter official Hu Mian said: 'If we talk about this, if there is Wang Zuocai in Wen Ruo, the slaughter of a mere ten miles, and the rule of a pavilion, What's the point? The county lord replied: 'Wen Ruo is inherently talented, but will Wen Ruo be willing to be the head of this pavilion'? Therefore, I know that it is a young phoenix, and it is not a phoenix tree."

Zhu Chang's implication is that compared with Xun Zhen and Xun Yu, one is turbid and down-to-earth;

Xun Zhen thought about it for a while, and had to admit that Zhu Chang's two comments were very reasonable, and immediately said: "Good birds choose wood to live.

Although in Zhu Chang's eyes, he is still inferior to Xun Yu, this evaluation is not too low.

In the contemporary era when scholars regard reputation as their life, he should be content with such a "high praise" as he is a middle-aged man. Yingchuan County is rich in humanities, and Yingyin County is full of sages. The people who come here to serve as county magistrates are all from gentry. Although Zhu Chang is not a famous person, his comments on characters are far inferior to those of the Runan Xu brothers. One word can make people know it all over the world, and one word can make people abandon it, but it has a bit of weight. At least after these few words are spread out, People in Yingyin County would have a higher perception of Xun Zhen.

Qin Gan said: "There is a sentence, I don't know if I should ask it?"

"Qin Jun, please speak."

"The county lord has long wanted to make the lord the master of the family. After hearing the achievements of the monarch, he has to pass it on on the spot, but Xie Wu said that the monarch's ambition is not in the county court, but in the countryside. Xun Jun, you have such a You are talented, but why don't you want to be an official in the county?"

This question was asked by Xun Qu, the magistrate Zhu Chang, and Xie Wu, but almost everyone could not understand it. Xun Zhen was getting tired of explaining, but he couldn't help but explain, he said respectfully: "Since the county lord thinks that Zhen is a milk tiger, then I ask Qin jun, have you ever seen a tiger who is unwilling to indulge in the mountains and forests, but is willing to be trapped in the mountains and forests? In the middle of nowhere?"

Qin Gan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "This is a wonderful answer! When I return to the county, I will congratulate the county magistrate: I have a crouching tiger in Yingyin today!" Early in the morning, he got up to leave and said, "Please wait patiently, at most four or five days, at least two or three days, when the county's approval comes down and the purchase reward is given, you can take up the post with money and roar the mountains and forests!"

Xun Zhen sent him out of the pavilion.

Qin Gan got into the limousine and was about to leave when he suddenly touched his forehead with his hand and said, "Just talking with Jun, I almost forgot something!"

"What's the matter?"

"Han family law, one thief is captured alive, or two thieves are killed, and the rank is one level. You killed a total of fifteen thieves the night before, and captured three alive. Who is the killer and who is the catcher? Make a list, write it and send it to the temple, so that it is convenient for you to reward your merits and deeds." Qin Gan is a thief in his family, and if he is not needed to convey the honor of the county lord, he is sent for this purpose.

He asked Xun Zhen with a smile, and said, "Xun Jun won the crown soon, right?"

"Yes."

"In the past 30 years, only when today's son ascended the throne, did he bestow the nobles of the world in the first year of Jianning. Xun Jun's current title should be a prince, right?" The first year of Jianning was thirteen years ago, when Xun Zhen only had At the age of seven or eight, thanks to the blessing of the emperor's enthronement, he got the first title in his life. He replied, "Yes."

"Killing the thief the night before~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Jun's merit is the greatest, and only the three thieves who were captured alive at the end are enough to make Jun Baijue rank and be promoted to the top!"

Although it is said that since the Han Dynasty, because of the many times of giving the world nobles, not to mention the former Han, it only started from the first granting of nobles in the third year of Jianwu in this dynasty. Fourteen times, an average of less than once every five years, and sometimes it is not only the first grade of nobility, but two or three grades of nobility at one time. It is very beneficial to have a higher title, for example, it can be used to reduce or exempt from criminal law, reduce corvée, improve status, give priority to more land and houses granted by the state, and so on.

However, Xun Zhen is someone who "has a plan" and doesn't even pay attention to the millions of money, and naturally he will not take this title into his eyes. He said, "For what happened the night before, the villagers of the Dorai Pavilion contributed to me. Zhen has been recommended by the county lord for promotion.

"Oh?..." Qin Gan supported Che Shi, leaned over and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Zhen decided to give the title to others along with the 50,000 reward money given by the county lord today."

According to the stipulations of the law, many people catch thieves together, and they can give their own rewards to others. Although Xun Zhen's decision was unexpected, it was also legal. Qin Gan couldn't help but slapped Che Shi and praised, "I have never seen the virtue of Lord Xun!"

——

1. Purchase rewards.

An example in the "Juyan Han Slips": "It's not a good idea for a group of thieves to kill officials and soldiers. It's better to punish them in time. I'd like to set up a reward for purchase, and someone who can capture and behead... Qu rate one person, buy 100,000 yuan, and the party and 50,000." .

2, bestow the honor.

According to the research of the Japanese Nishijima Dadasei, the conferring of jue in the Han Dynasty was aimed at all the good men of the household, and "the conferment of the jue is to the young men, that is, the men under the age of fourteen." ——"The Formation and Structure of the Ancient Chinese Empire: A Study of the Twentieth-class Noble System"
