Xuande

Chapter 345 The Death of Huangfusong

Xun Shuang is a decent person.

No matter where you go or who you visit, you are well versed in the principle of "There are many people who don't blame you if you are courteous", open the way with courtesy, and greet each other with a smile, so no matter who it is, you can get along well.

During his visit to Liu Bei this time, he even prepared a large number of gifts, bringing more than a dozen attendants and carrying them to the mansion one by one, making the scene quite lively.

"Mr. Xun just came to visit, why do you need to bring so many gifts?"

"Hahahaha, don't disturb Xuande, they are all crude objects, as long as Xuande doesn't dislike them, hahahaha."

Xun Shuang took Liu Bei's hand and walked in with him.

"I saw you were busy a few days ago, so I didn't bring Gongda over to bother you. I just came today. Don't disturb me?"

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Xun You who was following them with his head down, smiled and shook his head.

"Why bother? It's an honor for Mr. Xun to come."

"Ha ha ha ha,
The two sat down and faced Liu Bei face to face.

"I have heard of Gongda's reputation in Luoyang, and Wen Ruo, who is as famous as you, has passed my test and is currently working under my command. He is doing very well. Since you are as famous as him, Must have a very good ability, but so?"

Liu Bei asked Xun You straight to the point.

Xun You bowed slightly.

"No one knows better than Junhou how we got our reputation. Compared with the prestige gained by Junhou on the battlefield, it is better not to show our reputation, otherwise it will pollute Junhou. ears, that is my fault."

On the contrary, he is a little self-aware, knowing how his children's reputation came about.

Xun Shuang seemed a little embarrassed, but quickly covered it up.

Liu Bei then laughed.

"Very well, I like people who are self-aware, and I prefer honest people. As long as a person has a clear understanding of himself, he will not ignore the favors given by others. Such a person is also worthy of promotion and appointment, Wen If it is such a person.

I will not make any comments on you until I see how you do things in detail. I think that practice is the main basis for judging whether a person is talented or not. Do you agree? "

"Everything is up to the king."

Xun You nodded and said: "You think you are good at military affairs, but Junhou is also good at military affairs. You don't know the topography of Liangzhou, don't know Liangzhou's hydrology, dare not speak nonsense in front of Junhou, please allow You to arrive After Liangzhou, we will take countermeasures for the princes."

"It's a good thing if you are good at military affairs."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Liangzhou lacks everything, but there is no shortage of battles to be fought. Although I wiped out two Xianbei tribes before, the threat of the Xianbei people has not been relieved. The Shaodang Qiang in Jincheng County has been appeased by me, but Wudu and the Baima Qiang and Shenlang Qiang around Longxi are still staring at each other, these are the scourges I want to eliminate."

Xun You salutes again.

"I would like to see the details for the king."

"it is good."

Liu Bei looked at Xun Shuang with a smile: "Wen Ruo is good at government affairs, and Gong Da is good at military affairs. From now on, there will be no shortage of resourceful people around me. Thank you, Mr. Xun."

"Why do you need to thank me? I want to thank you, Xuande."

Xun Shuang smiled and said: "Liangzhou is bitter and cold, and there is little money and food. This time, Xun's family still has some food savings. They will give it to Xuande to plan for Liangzhou. Later, they will send people to Liangzhou. Xuande should not think too little. .”

"Grand Xun's kindness will never be forgotten."

Liu Bei expressed his gratitude to Xun Shuang, and accepted the unknown amount of money and food that Xun Shuang gave again with a smile.

After a brief conversation, Liu Bei sent Xun Shuang and Xun You out of the gate of the mansion, and told Xun You to come to his mansion at four o'clock tomorrow to prepare for departure, and to take all the luggage with him.

On the way back, Xun Shuang explained some things to Xun You.

"Liu Xuande is quite talented, and he is also a member of the Han Dynasty. He will surely achieve great things. Under his command, you should try your best to stand out and make contributions. Try to let him appreciate you and trust you. Don't make mistakes. Do you understand?"

"You know."

Xun You nodded and said: "You admire a hero like Fan Yanghou very much. It is You's luck to be able to work under his command. I communicated with Wen Ruo before, and Wen Ruo said that Fan Yanghou's subordinates are full of talents. After more than a year, Liangzhou has undergone great changes, and You are also looking forward to this."

"In just over a year, Liangzhou went from rebellion to being able to take the initiative to send troops to the Northern Expedition to wipe out most of the two Xianbei tribes."

Xun Shuang sighed: "Liu Xuande has really done a lot of things to Liangzhou, and Liangzhou has also undergone drastic changes. He is only 26 years old. Except for his talent and luck, I really don't know what to do. Describe this person.

Ordinary people can't even imagine why the Liangzhou Rebellion that the imperial court couldn't solve for more than a hundred years, Liu Xuande has stabilized the situation in more than a year. There are some things that even I can't figure out. . "

Xun You nodded, indicating that he understood.

The next day, Xun You came to Liu Bei's mansion ahead of time, followed Liu Bei's large army, and slowly left Luoyang surrounded by everyone.

And not an hour after Liu Bei left Luoyang, the palace suddenly issued an order.

Huangfusong, the former empress general and the governor of Bingzhou, lost the face of the court because of his defeat in the battle, and put the court and the emperor in danger.

This news caused great uproar both inside and outside the ruling and opposition parties. The ancient literature school was delighted by this, while the modern literature school was shocked by it.

Yang Biao and the officials under Yang's influence broke their legs and bent over tired. They ran all kinds of activities in hopes of getting the emperor back, but they all returned in vain.

All the news sources they had access to conveyed one meaning to them——the emperor's will was unshakable, and Huangfusong was bound to die.

Yang Biao, who was keeping a filial piety for his father Yang Ci in his hometown in Hongnong, soon got the exact news and fell down at home on the spot, trembling in his heart.

Not only did Huang Fusong lose his life, he was also liquidated by Liu Hong.

All the official positions, titles, and imperial court rewards he had received were all taken back by the imperial court, and all his family members with official titles and emperor's grace were demoted to common people and would never be used.

His family property was ordered by Liu Hong to be confiscated by Liu Bei, the shepherd of Liangzhou, and all the proceeds were returned to the public.

This news is still a big blow to the Jinwen School. At least this time, the Jinwen School has completely lost, and the military agent that has just been established has also failed, and the school's plan to transform into the military has also gone bankrupt. .

There is no doubt that the power of the Modern Literature School has been hit hard, but the Ancient Literature School is not so happy about it.
