Gai Xun came to Beijing at the end of the second year of Zhongping. This time he was moved from Zuo Feng Yi of 2,000 shi to Bi 2,000 shi Wuguan Zhonglang. It looked like a demotion, but in fact it was not. This was a sign that he was about to be used in a big way. He believed that he would not be able to use it.
In three years, he will definitely reach the position of Jiuqing. His goal is to surpass his grandfather Gai Biao, who was once the great agricultural minister, and become the first three princes of the Gai family in Dunhuang.
On the day of Gai Xun's arrival, there was a sensation in the capital. All three assistants and scholars from Liangzhou arrived. Ma Rixi and Lu Zhi, two world-famous Confucian scholars, joined hands to welcome Gai Xun. In order to show his attention, General He Jin sent his trusted aides to wait for him.
Yu Dao and his in-laws Cai Yong also came from Chenliu's hometown, and of course Yuan Shao and others were also indispensable.
Gai Xun, Ma Rixi and Lu Zhi came from the same school and have known each other for decades. They looked at each other and smiled. Although they had not seen each other for nearly ten years, they were no strangers and chatted with each other. Ma Rixi said with emotion.
: "This year Kangcheng was invited by the general to come to the capital. However, in order to protect the integrity of the famous people, he finally left. This is a great misfortune for the country." Kangcheng was the same disciple of the three Zhengxuan and Zhengkangcheng. He was a famous sage in Guandong and had profound knowledge.
He can be called the number one person in Ma Rong's sect, and Ma Rixi is ashamed of himself.
Gai Xun respected Zheng Xuan from the bottom of his heart, but did not agree with his approach. He said with emotion: "My elder brother's knowledge has impressed the past and the present, and he is a great master. Today's world is in chaos, and it is the time for my elder brother to show off his skills. How can I avoid living in the mountains and be alone?"
"
Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Kang Cheng no longer wants to serve as an official, what can he do?"
Gai Xun also exchanged greetings with his in-law Cai Yong. The two had a special relationship and felt very cordial. He had known Yuan Shao's name for a long time, but he had never met him. When Gai Jun got married, Xu You went to Liangzhou in person and wanted to meet him as his nephew.
Gai Xun stopped him. Xu You bowed to Gai Xun and introduced him to Yuan Shao, He Yong and other world-famous people.
"Not long after Ziying left the capital, he defeated the Liangzhou rebels and settled the northern territory, relieving the country from a serious problem. As the eldest brother, I am sincerely happy." Yuan Shao smiled and said to Gai Xun. He was no longer confused this year.
He is only five years younger than Gai Xun. Of course, looking at their faces, the difference is much bigger.
Gai Xun smiled and said: "Quinzi often says that he has been taken care of by Benchu many times in the capital, and there is nothing he can't do without."
Yuan Shao said: "Ziying and I are very different in age, but we have the same temperament. We regard him as our own brother. How can we expect repayment?"
When Xu You introduced He Yong, Gai Xun said: "Boqiu Yuzi is a talent of Wu Qi. I think he is too much."
He Yong smiled and shook his head: "Now it seems that it is worthy of the name."
Gai Xun talked with everyone all the way, and finally came to the place where General He Jin's cronies were standing. The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, He Jin's cronies had been impatient for a long time, and secretly cursed Gai Xun for being arrogant, but he conveyed it with a smile on his face.
The general's goodwill toward Gai Xun. Gai Xun smiled and nodded when facing the solicitation of the general He Jin, showing no expression at all.
After returning from drinking in the evening, Gai Xun and his wife Ma Zhao were warm to each other and reported to the palace the next day.
When Emperor Liu Hong heard that Gai Xun, Gai Ying's father, had entered the palace, he summoned him and asked him about the details of Western Xinjiang. Gai Xun had an upright temperament and told no secrets. He told all kinds of things that Liu Hong had never heard of, which gave Liu Hong a great shock. For a long time,
He sighed: "I hate to see you late, but none of the courtiers have said this. Only people like Qing can train Gai Ying." Gai Xun was officially appointed as the Lang General of the five senses, commanding those who are over fifty years old.
Attendant. The official position of the Attendant is not high, but the status is respected. When the Emperor goes out, the Attendant will ride with him. When the Emperor enters, he will accompany the attendants. They are inseparable from the Emperor. Their closeness is comparable to that of the eunuchs. Therefore, courtiers often use the word "intimate".
Words such as "left and right" and "heart" are used to describe Shizhong.
Gai Xun thanked him and retreated, walked out of the hall, and after some conversation in the hall, he found that the emperor was not as unbearable as outsiders said. He was actually very smart. He only made some mistakes after growing up in a deep palace and being deceived by eunuchs.
thing.
Facing Yi Qianzhong's show of goodwill, Gai Xun walked past with an expressionless expression.
"Eunuchs are a serious problem for the country and must be eliminated."
On the first day of the third year of Zhongping, Yeli, the first puppet king of the North, was escorted to Beijing. Emperor Liu Hong read the battle report of Gai Jun and exclaimed that it was wonderful. He ordered Yeli's tongue to be minced, his lower body castrated, and he was given to Zhongchang Shi for training. Zhang
Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were pleased to appoint him. Punishing people was their specialty. One hundred and eighty cruel methods were enough to make a barbarian Yeli regret his life.
Soon, the head of Tang Po, the leader of the Anding Qiang and Hu dynasties, was also delivered. The officials in the court had known the result, but they still found it unbelievable. It gave them a headache and feared the serious trouble in Xiliang like a tiger. Gai Jun achieved three victories in three battles, killing more than 100,000 people and capturing dozens
Wan, the second chief was conferred the first title. Huangfu Song was greatly impressed and said bluntly that he was not as good as him. Gai Xun was still more popular, and visitors came to the door from sunrise to sunset on holidays.
When Gai Jun sent Tang Po's head, he also said that it was inappropriate to capture many Qiang and Hu people, and he decided to expand Beidi County to the north thousands of miles, and asked for farming. Emperor Liu Hong agreed without thinking, and allocated a large number of
Seeds, farm tools, and 200 million yuan. A mere 200 million yuan is a drop in the bucket, a drop in the ocean, for Beidi County, which is in urgent need of reconstruction, but it is not too little. Liu Hong has always been hard-earned, so it is still a surprise to get 200 million yuan from him.
For Gai Xun's sake, he had to make some excuses, and Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, also asked for settlement of the Qiang and Hu in the farmland. Liu Hong waved his hand and said yes, without giving him a penny.
Gai Jun also asked for merit for the generals, and Liu Hong naturally would not disagree. Gai Yin was promoted to the general of Lang who broke the bandit, and was granted the title of Tinghou. He guarded the north and stabilized the border. Guan Yu, Ma Teng, Huang Zhong, and Yang Aruo all
The two thousand stone captains and captains were compared. The first three were granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and Yang Aruo was granted the title of Tinghou. The specific positions were Ma Teng as the Nongdu Lieutenant, and Yang Aruo as the Xiaoqi Colonel.
The Diduwei was the leader of the Han army in the north. Huang Zhong was the captain of the extermination camp and commanded thousands of people brought by Gai Jun from the capital. Bao Chu, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Ma Ju, Hu Feng and Chen Biao
Waiting for more than a dozen people to worship him as Sima. It is worth mentioning that Pang De has only turned sixteen this year and can be called the youngest Sima in the Han Dynasty. Those who have fought for the country for half their lives and are still Sima lament endlessly and wish they could not be the hero for Gai Ying.
Soldiers under the tent.
Gai Liao learned that Yang A'ruo had become the captain of the cavalry school of Bi2000 Shixiao, and he clamored to go to the north to find his brother, but Gai Xun decisively suppressed him. Gai Xun's face was complicated, and the conversation he had with his son a few months ago came to mind. The first
The goal has been achieved, what about the second one? If Yang Aruoru really loves Xiao He'er, he will definitely achieve it?
The appointment was issued and sent to the North through the hands of the Taiwei Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen thought that Dong Zhuo was unavailable and Gai Jun was the best replacement. However, he was already the prefect of 2,000 stone and the Qiang and Hu were unable to live without him, so he set his sights on Dong Zhuo.
There are five generals under Gai Jun's command. On the day of their appointment, these five people received a handwritten letter from Zhang Wen at the same time, saying that when they come to Chang'an, Bi will be reused.
Gai Yin casually browsed through the letter and gave the letter directly to Uncle Xiaozu. The same was true for Yang Aruo and Guan Yu. These three people were closely related to Gai Jun. They both prospered and suffered losses, and they were not at all tempted by Zhang Wen.
Gai Jun could understand Huang Zhong's hesitation. He was from the general tribe, and the two did not have a deep friendship. There was no war in the north, and there were countless opportunities to make meritorious deeds in Chang'an. But Ma Teng's hesitation hurt Gai Jun a little.
Gai Jun asked himself that he was not being treated poorly. The two had known each other for more than ten years and had a special relationship with his mother, Ma Zhao. What right did he have to hesitate?
The blueprint drawn by Zhang Wen is very tempting to Ma Teng. Although among the five generals, his family is poor, he is a true member of the Fufeng Ma clan. He is now the captain of the two thousand stone captain, and the Fufeng Ma clan will inevitably accept him again and invest in him.
Lieutenant Zhang Wen can undoubtedly go further.
Ma Teng is now undecided on two points. One is that the leader of the Ma clan, Ma Rixi, is Gai Jun's mentor and he has taken refuge with Zhang Wen. Will Ma Rixi be angry with him? The second is that Zhang Wen has always had a stigma. This
It is a weak point that is extremely vulnerable to attack. If something goes wrong, he cannot protect himself, let alone the people around him.
Ma Teng asked his younger brother Ma Ju for his opinion. Ma Ju had always admired his brother and always obeyed his advice, but this time he objected fiercely and even said, "You leave, I stay." Ma Teng remained silent and stayed up all night.
Send the letter to Gai Jun.
Three days later, Huang Zhong also rejected Zhang Wen's invitation.
-------------------
In mid-February, it was spring in the south, but the cold wind was still howling and the air-conditioning was pressing in Beidi County. Before the spring plowing, the people, soldiers, and Qiang Hu in the north mobilized to rebuild houses, repair cities, build water conservancy projects, and build roads.
The bridge was built, and the land was a busy scene.
With the return of Gai Yin, the number of Qiang and Hu people exceeded 200,000, reaching 220,000, exceeding the number of Han people.
The original population of Beidi County was less than 20,000 people. Even including the Han army and their families, officials, servants and tenants of wealthy families, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 people. After the Qiang invasion, the people suffered heavy casualties, and some were stranded in Zuo Fengyi.
If I wish to come back, the population will drop a lot. Fortunately, the thousands of people brought by Gai Jun from Beijing, and the eight thousand soldiers from Zuo Fengyi were ordered by the imperial court to stay in the north to farm, and together with their families, they added tens of thousands of people to the north.
In addition, people from the neighboring Shangjun, Xihe, Hedong, Zuofengyi and other places in Bingzhou rushed to join their families with their families. In Shangjun and Xihe, the population is sparse and there is no shortage of land. However, they are often invaded by the Xiongnu and slaughter various ethnic groups, and they suffer unspeakably. Gai Jun
He even conquered the Qiang and Hu, which shocked the world and made other tribes fear him. The people believed that no one would dare to attack Gai Jun. In the east of Hedong, Zuo Fengyi came to the north because there were too many people and little land, and he could no longer survive.
According to official statistics, there are 140,000 Han people. Although it is not as good as the Qiang and Hu, it can be called a large county in Liangzhou. If it were a nearby county, it would definitely not be able to support so many people who suddenly arrived. Gai Jun was just the opposite.
He holds a large amount of supplies to stabilize the Qiang and Hu people in the North, but he is afraid that no one will come, but he will not refuse anyone who comes. When there are more people, the public security becomes worse accordingly. There are thieves and robbers everywhere, so Gai Jun is determined to kill them.
Hundreds of people were able to suppress the unhealthy trend a little.
On the day of spring plowing, Gai Jun, dressed in brown clothes and straw sandals, led a group of officials from Beidi County to carry wine and meat to the Yiyangshe to offer sacrifices. The so-called "she" means a place of worship, that is, a place for sacrifices and prayers, and it is also a place where people gather for entertainment and shopping.
Yiyang Society enshrines Fu Jiezi, a famous official of the former Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Yiyang. Fu Jiezi is the ancestor of the Fu family in the North.
Gai Jun does not believe in ghosts and gods, but this is the custom of the Han Dynasty and the people's wish, so he has no reason to shirk it.
After returning from the sacrifice, Gai Jun personally took the plow and plowed the fields, showing that the emperor valued agriculture and allowed the people to cultivate with peace of mind.
