Mi Han

Chapter 176: Qiao Zhou Falls to Sitting and Chaos Is About to Begin
Immediately after receiving Liu Bei's king's order, Mi Yang led a group of more than a hundred fine cavalry and galloped towards Chengdu.

A distance of ten miles is not very far for cavalry.

Soon after, Mi Yang led more than a hundred cavalry to the east gate of Chengdu City.

After arriving at the east gate of Chengdu City, Mi Yang's more than a hundred elite riders were stopped by the guards of Chengdu City.

But after the Han army at the city gate checked Mi Yang's identity, he immediately let Mi Yang and more than a hundred elite riders into the city.

After being released, Mi Yang led more than a hundred fine riders behind him towards the city of Chengdu.

No need for anyone to lead the way, Mi Yang, who has lived in Chengdu for several years, is very familiar with Zhou Qun's mansion.

After the captain of the city gate let Mi Yang into the city, a dignified look appeared on his face.

This Chengmen school lieutenant, named Jufu, was born in Hanchang County, Brazil County, with the style name Xiaoxing.

The Gou family is a common surname in Hanchang County, and Jufu is generous, loyal and brave, and was recommended as one of the Sifang school captains in Chengdu because of his reputation.

Ju Fu found out that the direction Mi Yang led his troops was going to was Guangaili, where the Yizhou gentry lived together in the city.

Seeing this scene, his face showed a dignified look, and the dignified look on his face was noticed by the deputy general beside him.

The lieutenant general didn't know why Ju Fu showed such a look.

He has heard of Mi Yang's name before, and recently this name can be described as thunderous.

After knowing Mi Yang's achievements, the lieutenant admired Mi Yang very much.

Isn't it a blessing for Yizhou to have such a famous general under his command?
Why did the captain show a serious look.

Under the questioning of the lieutenant general, Ju Fu just sighed and did not speak.

His lieutenant was not of high background, and he didn't know some secrets in Chengdu.

But Ju Fu knew very well that the "Changyu Rebellion Case" caused by Mi Yang in Chengdu in the past is still a thorn in the hearts of many gentry in Central Shu.

Now when Ju Fu sees the famous Mi Yang leading the troops towards the crown, he can't help but have a bad feeling in his heart.

I hope it's all because of his overthinking.

Guan Gaili is located in the west of Chengdu City.

The crown cover, the official's hat and the car cover are also.

Therefore, most of the people living in Guangaili are high-ranking officials and nobles in Chengdu, and most of them are basically nobles with a background in central Shu. Therefore, Guangaili was also called "Shuli" by the people at that time.

Once you enter Shuli, you can know the hopes of Shuzhong.

And if you don't live in Shuli, no matter how famous you are in Shuli, it will be nothing but the hope of the common people.

When Mi Yang led the cavalry to the inner gate of Guan Gaili, looking at the deep and spacious inner alley, and seeing the bright and beautiful mansions on both sides of the inner alley, his past experience in Chengdu appeared in his mind.

Under the glamor that countless people look up to and yearn for, there are countless bloody crimes hidden.

In a high gate compound in Guangaili, Zhou Qun, the current Yizhou Confucian school lieutenant, was having a drink with a young man in the courtyard of the mansion.

Zhou Qun, courtesy name Zhongzhi, was born in Langzhong, Brazil.

When Zhou Qun was young, he followed his father Zhou Shu to learn the art of fortune-telling and fortune-telling.

Zhou Qun's father, Zhou Shu, studied Confucian classics with Yang Hou of Guanghan when he was young. His names were Ya Dong Fu and Ren An.

Zhou Qun studied with Zhou Shu when he was young, and concentrated on the art of divination and calculation.

Zhou Qun built a small building in his garden in Langzhong. Zhou Qun's family was rich and had many servants.

Zhou Qun often asked his servants to go upstairs in turn to observe the signs of catastrophe in the sky. As soon as they found clouds, the servants would tell Zhou Qun, and then Zhou Qun went upstairs to observe the clouds in person, no matter morning or night.

Therefore, whenever there is a change in climate, Zhou Qun can personally see it, so his predictions are often fulfilled.

Because of this, Zhou Qun's reputation became famous, and later because of his family's prestige, Zhou Qun was hired by Liu Zhang as a mentor in Yizhou.

After Liu Bei took Yizhou, in order to gain the support of Yizhou gentry, Liu Bei appointed Zhou Qun as the captain of Rulin.

Today is the day when Liu Bei, king of Hanzhong, returns home. Zhou Qun, as a leading Confucian scholar in the middle of Shu, refused to greet him on the grounds of illness.

But what is unexpected is that he, who announced that he is sick, is now drinking and having fun in his courtyard leisurely.

Chengdu is located in a basin, and there is plenty of water vapor in the air. Therefore, in winter, the weather in Chengdu is colder than that in the north.

In order to dispel the coldness in the body, every winter season, the scholar-bureaucrats in Chengdu will warm up their bodies with wine every day to dispel the cold.

Even though spring has gradually entered Chengdu recently, the scholar-officials in Chengdu still maintain this habit.

On the charcoal stove on the table in front of him, the jug began to emit bursts of heat under the flames.

Smelling the aroma of wine floating in the air, Zhou Qun's face was intoxicated.

He looked at a young man on the opposite side and said, "It's a great pleasure in the world to sit with talented people next to you with fine wine."

The young man sitting opposite Zhou Qun was Qiao Zhou, who had recently gained fame in central Sichuan.

Qiao Zhou, courtesy name Yunnan, was born in Xichongguo County, Brazil County.

Qiao Zhou was born in a wealthy Guandai family in Brazil County. Although he lost his father when he was young, because of the influence of his family, he read less classics, intensively studied the Six Classics, and knew a lot about astronomy. Since he became an adult, his reputation has gradually resounded throughout Chengdu. .

Qiao Zhou was hailed by many local gentry in central Shu as the future leader of scholars in central Shu.

Qiao Zhou, who just won the crown this year, faced the praise of Zhou Qun, a great Confucian in Sichuan, with a look of humility on his face.

He bowed slightly to Zhou Qun and said, "Duke Zhou is absurd."

A smile appeared on Zhou Qun's face for Qiao Zhou's humility.

He really likes this outstanding junior in Shuzhong more and more.

Zhou Qun raised a wooden spoon on the dining table, took a spoonful of wine from the jug and poured it into the wine glass in front of Qiao Zhou, and then said to Qiao Zhou:
"Recently there have been rumors in the royal palace that Ge Shi heard about Yunan's reputation, and intends to enlist Yunnan and join the Da Sima shogunate to serve as a student advisor."

"Although I am dissatisfied with the Ge family's governance, if Yun Nan can enter the Da Sima shogunate, it will be a good step forward."

After Mi Yang left, Qiao Zhou's reputation in Chengdu became more and more famous, and he seemed to be the leader of the younger generation in Chengdu.

With this kind of reputation, Qiao Zhou will attract Zhuge Liang's attention, and it is common sense for him to be expropriated into the government.

As for just reaching the crown, you can take up the post of persuading students. For ordinary scholars, this starting point is not too low.

But after Qiao Zhou listened to Zhou Qun's words, there was no joy on his face.

The 20-year-old persuading students to engage in education, among the heroes of Sichuan, this starting point is naturally very high.

But compared to Mi Yang who was named a marquis and general at the age of 20, Qiao Zhou's position of persuading students is inconspicuous.

Thinking of Mi Yang who was always against him and overpowered him in Chengdu back then, Qiao Zhou couldn't feel any joy in his heart.

Compared to Mi Yang who is already famous all over the world, and Qiao Zhou, no matter how famous he is, his reputation is at most spread in one place in central Sichuan.

Seeing Qiao Zhou's unhappy but sad expression on his face, Zhou Qun, who knew the past, guessed why Qiao Zhou was like this.

Thinking of that young man, Zhou Qun was also very unhappy.

He said to Qiao Zhou: "It's not a good thing to show your sharpness."

"When Mi Yang was in Chengdu, he showed his edge too much, soared in the capital, and finally fell into the shadows."

"Although Mi Yang is famous all over the world today because of the First Battle of Public Security, people all over the world place high hopes on him, but after Hui Yiyao, I see Mi Yang's appearance, this person's lifespan will not last forever."

"Yunnan, you can't just wait for the day and night, you should focus on the future."

"As long as you can sharpen yourself and focus on the future, your future achievements may not be inferior to Mi Yang."

After Zhou Qun finished speaking, Qiao Zhou's face showed relief from depression.

Zhou Qun is a great Confucian in Sichuan, and he is well-known in Sichuan, and his most talked about ability is to deduce the future. Zhou Qun's deduction seldom miscalculates.

Therefore, when Zhou Qun predicted that Mi Yang's lifespan would not be long, Qiao Zhou inevitably had expectations in his heart.

Young people are all eager to win, especially for Qiao Zhou, who is young and famous, no one wants to be overwhelmed by one person all the time.

After the depression in his heart was relieved, Qiao Zhou looked at Zhou Qun and said to Zhou Qun: "Mr. Zhongzhi is ill and will not meet the king today. With the reputation of Mr. Zhongzhi, it is inevitable that villains will go forward to slander the king."

"I hope Mr. Zhongzhi will be more careful."

Faced with Qiao Zhou's reminder, Zhou Qun let out a sneer, and he asked Qiao Zhou, "The Lord of Virtue? Why should I go to greet him?"

Under Zhou Qun's rhetorical question, Qiao Zhou remained silent.

With Zhou Qun's reputation, he had the confidence to criticize Liu Bei, but he didn't.

Qiao Zhou knew very well what Zhou Qun meant by Liu Bei's immorality.

Zhou Qun held up a glass of wine in front of him, and then he said to Qiao Zhou: "Throughout the ages, the rulers of the country have always valued morality and lightened punishment."

"But since Liu Bei Zhiyi, under Zhuge Liang's instigation, he has imposed heavy punishments and imposed tyrannical policies, caring for the common people and despising the scholar-bureaucrats, which caused complaints all over Yizhou."

"Governing the people with strict laws and cruel laws, is this the work of the Ming Lord?"

"Because of Dujiangyan, because of "Shu Ke", many old friends of you and me died under the knife."

"Back then, Gaozu entered Guanzhong to make three chapters of law, dismissing all laws and accepting the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. Now Liu Bei is a descendant of Gaozu, but he does not follow the ancestors' precepts and instead acts in the opposite way. Such a tyranny will not last long."

Zhou Qun drank the wine in his hand while talking. He had already drank a lot of wine until now.

Under the anesthesia of alcohol, Zhou Qun seemed to recall more and more dissatisfaction with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Because of "Shu Ke", he can no longer use Dujiangyan to benefit his family and expand his family's industry.

Because of "Shu Ke", his property in Chengdu suffered heavy losses, and many acres and tenants were taken away from him.

Because of "Shu Ke", many outstanding children in his family were punished, killed or exiled, which made his Zhou family's reputation further decline.

And all this was caused by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

He slammed his wine glass on the table in front of him.

The wine glass hit the table and there was a loud bang, and then Zhou Qun said with hatred: "Besides, Nan and He Gu!"

Seeing Zhou Qun mention that name, Qiao Zhou's face changed drastically, and he wanted to remind Zhou Qun to be cautious.

But under the anesthesia of alcohol and feeling that he was in his own mansion, Zhou Qun had already forgotten the words "a gentleman is cautious and alone".

"Nan He is a famous scholar in Shu, but he was slaughtered because of a prophecy. Is this what we hoped for the Ming Lord to do?"

"If we had known this earlier, we might as well have helped and protected Mr. Liu to defend Chengdu and guard our homeland. Nanhe would not have suffered such a calamity."

Zhou Qun thought that in front of his family and trusted juniors, he could speak unscrupulously.

But what he never expected was that when he said these words, a young general led his soldiers into his courtyard and heard his roar clearly.

This person is Mi Yang who just arrived.

Qiao Zhou, who was sitting opposite Zhou Qun, saw the familiar face appear, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Why is he here now, shouldn't he be welcomed by Zhuge Liang to the palace for a banquet?

When Mi Yang first entered the courtyard, he heard Zhou Qun's words, and his brows subconsciously frowned.

After Mi Yang entered the courtyard, the soldiers behind him also stepped forward to surround Zhou Qun and Qiao Zhou who were present.

The sound of armor colliding behind him and the horrified look on Qiao Zhou's face finally made Zhou Qun realize that something was wrong.

He turned around and looked behind him. When he saw Mi Yang standing behind him holding his sword, the wine glass in Zhou Qun's hand fell to the ground in shock.

The wine glass rolled all the way to the ground, and finally rolled to the edge of Mi Yang's shoes.

The fine wine was scattered all over the floor, Mi Yang bent over to pick up the wine glass from the ground, holding the wine glass still exuding residual warmth, Mi Yang looked at Zhou Qun and said:
"Mr. Zhongzhi, long time no see."

"I heard that you were sick today, but I didn't expect you to have such leisure and elegance, risking your illness to drink and have fun with Yun Nan in the cold wind."

Although Mi Yang said these words with a smile on his face, both Qiao Zhou and Zhou Qun heard something bad from Mi Yang's words.

Mi Yang recognized the two people who were drinking in the courtyard now. Speaking of which, these two people were still his "old acquaintances" in Chengdu back then.

Although the memory is not very pleasant.

Seeing that Mi Yang led troops into his mansion suddenly, and his tone was quite unfriendly, Zhou Qun's face suddenly became gloomy.

He yelled at Mi Yang angrily: "Mi Zicheng, although you are now a marquis and general, and your position is higher than mine, but it is too arrogant for you to lead troops into my mansion without authorization."

"I will go up to the king, and take part in your crimes of arrogance and rudeness."

Facing Zhou Qun's angry reprimand, Mi Yang didn't care.

It's been so long since we saw each other, Zhou Qun is still as usual, only pretending to be powerful, incompetent and furious.

When Qiao Zhou saw this, although he was not as angry as Zhou Qun for relying on his own reputation to reprimand Mi Yang, his expression was not very good either.

He stood up and said to Mi Yang: "General Mi, Mr. Zhongzhi has high morals. If you rashly lead troops into Mr. Zhongzhi's mansion, you are considered rude. Please retreat quickly."

Until this moment, both Qiao Zhou and Zhou Qun thought that Mi Yang specially brought troops to Zhou Qun's mansion to show off his power after returning home because of the festival in the past.

Because of this feeling, although Zhou Qun lost his composure after Mi Yang's sudden arrival, he quickly covered up the gaffe.

Although Mi Yang's status has changed a lot compared to before.

But Zhou Qun firmly believed that with his own reputation, even the King of Hanzhong would give him three points in the past, not to mention Mi Yang.

After listening to Zhou Qun and Qiao Zhou's words, Mi Yang not only did not retreat, but ordered the surrounding soldiers to take Zhou Qun away.

When the soldiers around him came forward to take Zhou Qun away, Qiao Zhou wanted to stop him, but his action was stopped by Mi Yang's words.

"By the king's order, capture Zhou Qun and meet him. Anyone who dares to stand in his way will be killed without mercy."

Mi Yang's words made Qiao Zhou stop suddenly, and fear appeared on Zhou Qun's face.

Before leaving, Mi Yang took a look at the big brother who had cast in history.

Mi Yang's deep eyes, coupled with the terrifying aura he carried from the battlefield, instantly frightened Qiao Zhou and sat down on the seat behind him.

It's like a sparrow seeing a swan.

When they don't know the power of Honghu, the sparrow will try to compete with Honghu, but once they see Honghu's true face, everything is just a joke.

Qiao Zhou, who was sitting down, watched Zhou Qun being taken away by the soldiers like wolves and tigers, and the scene of that year came to his mind.

Chengdu, is it going to be chaotic again?

　In Chapter 3 yesterday, my phone ran out of battery in the morning, so I fell asleep.

　　Due to work reasons, you cannot go out during the epidemic.

　　Even if there is a power outage, you can't go to Internet cafes or anything.

　　Even the nucleic acid test was sent by the hospital on its own initiative.

　　Just received a call, continue to code words.
