Luoyang, the capital city, has been baptized by the flames of war of the Yellow Turban bandits. At this time, the city walls still have some ruins left by the war. However, this cannot conceal the prosperity of Luoyang, such as the city walls, palaces and gardens, the peaks like mountains, the carriages and horses like swimming fish, the streets Dotted with stars and pavilions, the whole of Luoyang is like a place reaching the sky on the earth, making Qin Ge feel like he has seen the heaven.
As the canonization team Qin Ge came to Luoyang City, this was the first time he came to the Chinese imperial capital. The city wall, which was like a thousand-blade peak, oppressed Qin Ge like a giant beast.
Qin Ge looked at this huge city with shock, and looked at the city wall in a daze. The same expression as Qin Ge was Sun Jian not far away.
"It's shocking! To be honest, I used to live in it and didn't think it was anything. Now that I see it, it's really shocking!" Cao Cao walked behind Qin Ge and sighed.
At this time, in front of the city gate, the emperor's chariot came out. A strong man with a beard and a strong body wearing golden armor looked very powerful. At the same time, standing on the other side was a thin man with a pale face and a high crown on his head.
Cao Cao introduced to Qin Ge: "This is General He Jin, and that is Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Constant Attendants! Don't look at that old goblin who is pretty, but he is an absolutely ruthless person!"
He Jin welcomed the generals back on behalf of the emperor. At this time, he was chatting with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was his favorite general and was promoted by him. It can be said that he stole the show in this battle. At this time, Dong Zhuo was in front of He Jin. He nodded and bowed, trying his best to flatter.
He Jin also came over and greeted everyone one by one. After a few brief greetings with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, he walked towards the captains and greeted Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other generals he had promoted cordially.
Qin Ge, Sun Jian and other heroes who rose up in the suppression of bandits were at the end. He Jin came over and politely nodded to everyone to say hello.
Seeing He Jin who was arrogant and dismissive of everyone, Sun Jian, who had always had a tough personality, was furious. Just as he was about to explode, Qin Ge grabbed his wrist and said with a smile: "We have to bow our heads under the eaves! Since we have chosen to be loyal to the imperial court , we must abide by the hierarchy!"
Sun Jian squinted at Qin Ge. At this time, Qin Ge had learned Confucian etiquette from Zhu Jun all the way. The strong and violent aura in his body had dissipated a lot, and there was a touch of elegance in his gestures.
Sun Jian frowned and said, "Brother Qin, do you really want to abandon martial arts and study literature, study the Four Books and Five Classics, and become a Confucian disciple?"
After hearing this, Qin Ge pondered for a moment and said: "The soldiers returned to the treasury and the horses were released to Nanshan. Now the world is at peace. We don't need swords, so we can only write!"
"Hahaha!" Sun Jian covered his head and laughed loudly: "If you, Qin Ge, become a scholar, the sun will really rise in the west!"
However, Sun Jian's sudden laughter caused He Jin and others to frown. Sun Jian could only hold it in. Feng Fang flattered him and said: "These mud-legged people have just climbed up from the countryside. General, ignore them! I really don't know why. Summon them to Beijing!"
At this time, a slightly mean voice said: "Of course we have to rely on these hawks and dogs to pacify the bandits!" A young man in brocade clothes snorted coldly.
As soon as this person spoke, everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. Yuan Shao walked over and whispered: "Don't criticize people, don't expose their shortcomings, be careful!" It turns out that this person is Yuan Shao's younger brother, Yuan Shu, the direct son of the Yuan family. Compared with Yuan Shao, As a concubine, Yuan Shu's status became more noble, and he was recognized as the future head of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shu sneered and said: "That's because some people are willing to degenerate, or they are born to be despicable, and they have lost the tradition of my Yuan family!" Yuan Shao's face turned blue with anger when he heard this, but he could not openly quarrel with Yuan Shu, otherwise it would really happen tomorrow. It became a big news in Kyoto. He forced a smile and acted like a respectful brother.
Welcomed by the city's high-ranking officials and nobles, the thieves' army marched into the city. Seeing the huge crowds of people in Luoyang City, Sun Jian sighed and said: "Although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Our roots in Boxi are in the county." , only there can we continue to prosper. Although this capital city is good, once we enter, we will be like a tiger whose claws have been worn away, and we can only be slaughtered by others!"
Qin Ge was about to speak when a figure appeared in front of him. He saw Liu Dai dressed in bright yellow clothes. He looked at Qin Ge meaningfully with a smile and said: "General Qin, you really brought glory to Yanzhou by defeating the Yellow Turban bandits this time." !" After saying that, he came over and patted Qin Ge on the shoulder. The outsider looked like his superiors and subordinates were harmonious.
When Qin Ge saw Liu Dai's chubby face, he wanted to give this bastard two electric cannons. Qin Gepi replied with a smile: "Greetings, Mr. Liu!"
Seeing Qin Ge's appearance as a Confucian scholar, the suppressed anger in Liu Dai's heart suddenly rose, and he gritted his teeth in Qin Ge's ear and said: "Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf for me, Qin. When you get to the capital, I will rule the world. Look, I won’t kill you! Just wait for me!”
Qin Ge's face changed slightly when he heard this. He heard Huangfu Song said that Liu Dai wanted to secretly punish him. He didn't expect this guy to be so narrow-minded. He seemed to be desperate to embarrass him by breaking his face in front of him. Qin Ge was not used to Liu Dai either. Dai raised his foot and stepped hard on Liu Dai's toes. Liu Dai immediately screamed like a pig, but it was covered by the cheering crowd.
Seeing this, Sun Jian gave Qin Ge a thumbs up and said: "Let me tell you, you are definitely not a scholar! But this man is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If you treat him like this, you are walking on thin ice in the capital!" "
Qin Ge sneered: "To deal with such a villain, you have already offended me anyway, so you don't care about this!"
Liu Dai was limping and being supported by a few familiar gentry disciples. He stared bitterly at Qin Ge who was chatting and laughing with Sun Jian, and said with a ferocious smile: "You surnamed Qin will never return to Mount Tai! Sooner or later, I will make you like this." You lie down in front of me like a dead dog and beg for mercy!" According to the imperial court's decree, although the Yellow Turban bandits have been pacified, bandits are still rampant in various places, so those who have contributed to the capture of the Yellow Turbans, such as Liu Bei and other brave people who have made great achievements in vain, are appointed as county magistrates. Maintain local law and order. Qin Ge and Sun Jian, who had previously served as military attachés in prefectures and counties, were to be entrusted with the important task of commanding the troops of various prefectures and counties to suppress rebellions. Because of Liu Dai's mediocrity, Qin Ge not only promoted Xiaolian in the Yanzhou Prefecture, but also had the official position of Protector Yue Xiaowei. With the strong recommendation of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, he actually accepted the emperor's personal title with Sun Jian and other generals. In order to show that In order to show martial virtue, the Han Emperor awarded half of the ranks of Zhonglang officers in the palace to the generals who made great achievements this time, and Qin Ge inexplicably became the emperor's disciple and received this supreme honor.
If Qin Ge is allowed to return to Taishan, he will definitely take over the position of Taishan County Governor, and the military and political power of the state will inevitably be assigned to him, and he will be asked to judge the banditry in Yanzhou. This makes Liu Dai intolerable, so he spends money to transfer Qin Ge to him. Ge's local military and political power was changed, and he was given a deputy position in the Jiuqing Shaofu. Although his position was higher than that of Taishan County Governor, he had no real power. Qin Ge was a mountain man who was helpless in Kyoto, and Liu Dai killed him. Not even that he was able to capture it, but Liu Dai showed a twisted expression of pain and joy at the thought of it.
The general welcomed the generals into Luoyang City, and finally arrived at Pingyang Gate in the inner city of the palace. He informed everyone that his Majesty would hold a banquet in Xiyuan tomorrow morning to celebrate the suppression of the Yellow Turban bandits, and to award the heroes of the suppression of the rebellion. After paying three respects to the imperial city, the generals left one after another. Those who had mansions in the capital, such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, went home one after another, while local powerful men such as Qin Ge and Sun Jian were placed in the garrison's Zhuque Tower, which served as a guard. The towers of the palace, but the towers in the inner city are unusually tall and have long lost their role in defending the city. They are generally used to station garrison troops.
After bidding farewell to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, Qin Ge and others were taken to Zhuque Que under the protection of a group of Yulin guards. As soon as they stepped onto the third floor, they saw a group of people wearing armor and leaning on the railing. Admire the beautiful scenery of the palace. This person is majestic and has eyes like an eagle and a tiger.
But Qin Ge knew one of them, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei! They are also old acquaintances!
After all, Bao Xin was a descendant of a wealthy family in Yanzhou. When he saw Qin Ge, he was an acquaintance in a foreign land and said with a smile: "We have been waiting here for three more days, only Boxi and Wentai are missing!" As he said this, Bao Xin came over and greeted Qin Ge cordially. Had a hug. In the past, Bao Xin always had a superior arrogance when facing Qin Ge, but now if Qin Ge is granted the title of Lang Guan, his status is the same as his, so the previous identity barrier seems to have disappeared at this moment.
Bao Xin then introduced the two generals to the others, and also introduced Qin Ge and Sun Jian to several people. It turned out that these six people were the other six officials who would receive the reward tomorrow. Hu, Mo Mo is about thirty-five years old. He wears a tiger skin helmet, has curly hair draped over his shoulders, has deep eye sockets and a hooked nose. He looks like a foreigner. This person is the queen of Fubo General Ma Yuan. , the famous prince Ma Teng in the late Han Dynasty! The other four are Yuan Yi from Shanyang, Zhang Chao from Guangling, and Zhang Yang from Shangdang. Among them, Yuan Yi is a distant relative of the Yuan family, the fourth generation of the third generation. Zhang Chao serves under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and is a descendant of Zhang Miao, a famous scholar in Yanzhou. My younger brother, together with Bao Xin, can be regarded as nobles. Zhang Yang of Shangdang was the favorite general of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. He started as a grassroots officer. When the Yellow Turban bandits attacked Sili, Ding Yuan sent him to lead his army to suppress the bandits and achieved great success.
Therefore, four of the seven doctors who were canonized by the emperor personally, Sun Jian, Qin Ge, Ma Teng, and Zhang Yang, were born at the bottom, while Bao Xin and the other three were from aristocratic families. Maybe it was because of their birth, or maybe the four of them, Sun Jian, were all capable of fighting. The four of them quickly became familiar with each other, and because they arrived in Luoyang for the first time, they were more impressed by the prosperity of Luoyang. The three of them, Bao Xin, talked more about the romantic affairs among nobles or relatives of the emperor. Because of their different births and experiences, these seven doctors were automatically divided into two groups. As for Gongsun Zan and others, they did not come to participate in the canonization because they were guarding the border.
Ma Teng was the oldest and a mixed-race foreigner. He was bold and enthusiastic and said with a smile: "What's the point of chatting like this? It's rare for brothers to get along so well, why don't we all drink some!" What a good man loves most is wine and beauties. Sun Jian and others are satisfied. move.
Bao Xin looked at these four country bumpkins and was speechless and said: "Tomorrow we will be rewarded by His Majesty in Xiyuan and become disciples of the Emperor. The imperial court has placed us together for the baptism ceremony tonight. You are so drunk that you are looking for death." !”
Zhang Yang was a typical soldier and said in confusion: "Baptism ceremony! What baptism ceremony!"
Yuan Yi was slightly disgusted, especially because Ma Teng had a mutton smell all over his body due to his ethnic minority origin, which made Yuan Yi and others stay away, saying: "You are all smelly and sweaty from the bottom. Wei, what if you are shocked when you face the Holy Spirit like this? So before the Holy Spirit tomorrow, we will have a baptism tonight!"
