"My eldest son, please be patient. This matter needs to be discussed in a long-term manner."
Guo Tu clearly despised Yuan Tan and other children's tricks of accusing him of accusations. Although he did not criticize him first, the fact that he rejected his proposal without any explanation showed Guo Tu's disdain for this move.
"Um……"
Yuan Tan didn't know that it would be useless to accuse him. There was nothing wrong with it. Now that the Yuan family was recruiting Gongsun Ming as his son-in-law, everyone knew that there was nothing wrong with Yuan Shang's private contact with Gongsun Ming. Even if there was, Yuan Shang Being favored in front of his parents, such a small mistake can hardly hurt Yuan Shangzhi's fundamentals. However, the problem is that Yuan Tan's anger is currently raging and he can't find a place to vent it. Naturally, he doesn't want to see Yuan Shang in every possible way. Zheng and Gongsun Ming hooked up like this.
"Why should the Eldest Young Master be so agitated? The Third Young Master's secret meeting with Gongsun's son is nothing more than to attract him as a foreign aid. This kind of idea is not wrong, but it is absolutely impossible to realize it. Hey, instead of bothering to mix sand, It’s better to do it once and for all.”
Guo Tu hated Gongsun Ming very much. Even if there was no private visit by Yuan Shang, Guo Tu would have already thought of plotting to get rid of Gongsun Ming when he came to Yecheng. Now that Yuan Tan is also angry with Gongsun Ming, Guo Tu Naturally, there will be no politeness.
"Oh? Is Ji Jiangan going to come out?"
As soon as Guo Tu said these words full of murderous intent, Yuan Tan's brows raised, and he was obviously moved. However, he couldn't figure out the key point for a while, so he followed up with a question. road.
"Hongmen Banquet!"
When it comes to strategizing, Guo Tu actually doesn't have that much ability, but when it comes to those dirty little tricks, he is definitely a good player. When Yuan Tan asked, Guo Tu didn't even think about it. He squeezed out three words through his teeth.
"Um……"
Although Guo Tu never went into detail, these three words alone were enough for Yuan Tan to understand the key point. However, when he saw him nodding thoughtfully, he let out a cold snort. It's full of murderous intent...
"Brother Wuhui, please come in. My father has been waiting in the hall for a long time."
On October 15, the Western Year of Jian'an, Gongsun Ming and his entourage finally arrived at Yecheng. On his father's order, Yuan Shang led some Jizhou officials out of the city for five miles to meet them, and escorted Gongsun Ming all the way to the General's Mansion. At the front steps, Yuan Shang himself did not go any further, but waved his hand to Gongsun Ming and gave in very politely.
"Good work."
There were many people in this place, and Gongsun Ming couldn't call him brother to Yuan Shang, so he could only politely thank him, and walked slowly through the open door. From a distance, he saw a group of people above the high hall. A wealthy man in his fifties sat proudly behind the copywriter. The top-notch military uniforms were enough to prove that this man was Yuan Shao, who was the general and the shepherd of Jizhou.
"After finishing school, I went to Gongsunming to pay homage to Mr. Yuan."
Just by looking at the posture in the hall, Gongsun Ming knew that Yuan Shao was trying to give him a blow. Although Gongsun Ming was very disdainful of this, he did not dare to take it lightly. He just saw Yuan Shao walking quickly and grabbed him. Entering the lobby, he bowed and bowed to the younger generation.
"How dare you? You are just a former general. How dare you not kneel down in front of a great general?"
Before Gongsun Ming finished his salute, he saw Guo Tuji flashing out from the side with a look of indignation on his face, and he roared with anger.
Guo Tu danced so wildly, but Yuan Shao pretended not to notice and sat steadily behind the copywriter. The other civil and military officials also had joking expressions on their faces, obviously waiting to see. Gongsun Ming's joke.
"Sir, what you said is serious. If someone comes here for official business, he must naturally pay the courtesy of his superiors and subordinates. However, if someone comes here for purely private matters, how can it be that a son-in-law should perform military salutes when meeting his father-in-law? Is this the case in Jizhou? Is this a custom? I have never heard of it. If it is true, does your son-in-law have to kneel down every time he sees you? "
Talking is an essential element for civil servants. Officials who don't know how to do this will definitely not be good officials. For Gongsun Ming, if you talk up and down, you can come up with countless reasonable explanations for even unreasonable things. Come, how can you be afraid of Guo Tu's troubles?
"Pfft."
"Ha ha……"
Guo Tu didn't expect that Gongsun Ming would be so sharp-tongued. For a moment, he really didn't know how to respond. When he was choked, his face turned red, and when he looked so angry and helpless, everyone was stunned. The civil and military officials couldn't hold back their laughter, and the atmosphere of solemnity in the hall was completely dismantled.
"You are such a sharp-tongued kid. He has no intention of killing or injuring our soldiers and civilians in Jizhou. Now he still dares to come here and act recklessly. Do you want to deceive the people in our Jizhou?"
Seeing Guo Tu being humiliated, Xin Pingke couldn't bear to look at it. He stepped out from the side with a big step and scolded Gongsun Ming arrogantly.
"Who is this gentleman?"
At this sight, another civil servant jumped out. Gongsun Ming immediately recognized that this person must be Xin Ping. Although he was not afraid, he did not want to engage in a drama of quarreling with the Confucian scholars, so he deliberately let it go. He slowed down his pace and asked a question pretending to be puzzled.
"Someone is engaged in Xin Ping in Jizhou."
Seeing that Gongsun Ming didn't answer the question, Xin Ping couldn't help but frown. After obviously hesitating for a moment, he patiently announced his family status.
"It turned out to be Xin Zhenggong, whom I have admired for a long time. I once heard that Xin Zhenggong was eloquent and high-spirited when he persuaded Han Fu to let the virtuous Duke Yuan go. He thought that Xin Zhenggong was a person who understood the general principles and righteousness. He admired him deeply and took him as an example. When he saw it today , only then do we know how to interpret the phrase 'meeting is not as good as being famous', how sad and painful!"
When it comes to hurting people, Gongsun Ming, who has countless jokes in his past life, is definitely an expert. No, he first brought out Xin Ping's proud deeds, praised them high, and then threw them down hard, which made Xin Ping even more proud. Ping's expression was extremely ugly.
"Young boy with a yellow mouth, clever words and charming words, you..."
Xin Ping has always been conceited and learned, and he has always been very conceited. How could he tolerate Gongsun Ming's disparagement? He was so angry that he no longer cared about the occasion and opened his mouth to scold Gongsun Ming angrily.
"Shut up, you are just doing your own business. How dare you scold the officials of the imperial court in public? Is there any distinction between superior and inferior? If what you say is reasonable, that's all. But you actually used some misunderstandings in the past to drive a wedge between a certain person and a certain person. Don't you know Mr. Yuan's feelings and keep them close to each other? What on earth do you want?"
Before Xin Ping could finish what he said, Gongsun Ming lowered his face, assumed the airs of a former general, and scolded Xin Ping mercilessly. Black and red...
