This was the benefit Gai Jun got from this locust plague. It had been two months since he gave his advice. What made him dumbfounded was that those who fought in this locust plague that affected half of the Han Dynasty were not those who claimed to have the world as their own responsibility.
The so-called eunuchs were mostly eunuchs, brothers and sons, speculative scholars, and merchants. They worked tirelessly to deny the theory that "eunuchs disrupt government and are punished by disasters from heaven."
, the high efficiency of killing locusts is rare in ancient and modern times.
However, the locust plague subsided and the drought came again. It was really a troubled era!
At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, there were twenty ranks of military meritorious officials. The first grade was called Gongshi, the second grade was called Shangzhao, the third grade was hairpin, the fourth grade was unchangeable, and the fifth grade was senior official... Nineteen Guanneihou and twenty Chehouhou. Guanneihou was among the twenty ranks of military meritorious officials.
The two most noble titles are second only to the 20th rank Chehou. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. Because the title of Chehou was inconsistent with the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they were renamed Liehou. As time went by, the first eighteen military honors were gradually eliminated.
, there are only two types: Guannei Marquis and Liehou. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liehou has been subdivided into County Marquis, Township Marquis, and Tinghou. This is a digression and will not be mentioned.
The Marquis of Guannei does not have a seat, but his status is second only to the Three Dukes, and he can compete with the Jiuqing in the same court. It is known that the Han Dynasty had many rituals, and people often knelt down to worship. With the Marquis of Guannei, he could despise most of the officials in the court.
Tongzilang, as the name suggests, refers to those who are under twenty years old and are equivalent to reserve officials.
To his surprise, his father Gai Xun was not promoted, but his salary was only increased by two hundred stones.
With his father's merits, why should he be rewarded by an official with two thousand stones? He couldn't help but feel unfair for his father secretly.
In any case, since you have become a boy boy, you have to go to Beijing to study at the Imperial College. In fact, according to the current salary of his father Gai Xun, even if he does not have the title of boy boy, he will enter the Imperial College in the near future, but it will be earlier and later.
Hearing that he was leaving, Gai Liao was unhappy for a few days. He followed him like a little tail every day, fearing that his brother would disappear if he was not careful. The two brothers and sisters grew up together and had a very good relationship.
Not to mention that the villain didn't want to be separated, even he was reluctant to part with her. Before leaving, he stayed with her all day long, riding horses with her, and playing with her various toys that she didn't want to touch on weekdays, such as... throwing pots.
His pot-throwing skills still haven't improved much, and he misses nine out of ten throws. But why did A-mei fail so badly today? He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Suddenly he saw A-mei turn around and choked up: "Brother, I let you win."
, please don’t leave, okay?”
Looking at this delicate and delicate little face covered with tears, Gai Jun was heartbroken and couldn't bear to refuse.
Gai Liao was already eleven years old, so he naturally knew that this request was unrealistic, so he threw himself into his arms and cried loudly. When he was tired of crying, he fell asleep in his arms.
Gai Jun just hugged her quietly and made sure she was asleep before picking her up and placing her on the bed.
"Brother." Gai Liao muttered and turned over as soon as he lay down, but he was talking in his sleep.
Gai Jun sat quietly for a long time, his eyes full of love, and murmured to himself:
"Maybe you will be a girl waiting to be married when we meet again..."
"I wonder which lucky guy will marry you?"
"Humph, if I want to marry you, I have to pass the test of my brother. If we are not heroes, we will not marry..."
"He can only love you for one person in his life..."
"Brother will castrate him if he dares to take a concubine..."
"If his life is short, we will marry another hero..."
"Hey, what else should I think about?" Gai Jun shook his head, and then said softly: "Brother, I promise you that as long as my sister likes him, no matter he is handsome, ugly, rich or poor, I will support you. I won't talk about it."
That's a good match, okay?"
"Brother." Gai Liao murmured again, showing a sweet smile. In the dream...Brother promised her not to leave again.
After leaving Amei's room, Gai Jun stepped down the steps and looked up at the sky. The stars were brilliant, illuminating the quiet and windless night. In his previous life, he was in a reinforced forest and could rarely see stars. Even when he did, they were dim.
Light, how can it be so touching?
"It's been more than three years. I can't get enough of Liangzhou's sky and Liangzhou's night. Will the capital...be the same?"
"Uncle Xiaozu."
A call brought his scattered thoughts back to his body. He followed the sound and found Gai Yin respectfully standing beside him.
Gai Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't you going to follow me to Beijing again?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
"Stay! Hanyang is not as good as Dunhuang. The Qiang and Hu people in the territory are unruly and there are rebellions from time to time. I feel at ease only if you are by my father's side." After saying that, Gai Jun raised his right arm with a smile and clenched his fist lightly.
"..."
The two fists touched lightly in the air.
"I'll leave at the end of the Yin time tomorrow, so there's no need to see you off." Gai Jun said goodbye to Gai Yin in a chic way, and came to his parents' residence. The door was closed, and the dim and soft light came out along the door gap, as narrow as a golden edge, like
A scroll of silk books.
Take a deep breath and knock on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as he entered, he saw his mother looking at him with red eyes, holding a newly made red robe in her hand. He had always preferred red, so if it wasn't for him, who else could it be for? Originally, the job of making clothes could be left to the maid.
, but this time it was different from the past, every stitch and thread of the clothes were sewn by Ma Zhao himself.
Gai Jun couldn't help but emotionally shouted: "Mom."
"I have been lacking in craftsmanship for more than ten years, and I don't know if the size fits. Let's try it quickly." Gai Ma Zhaoqiang said with a smile. She just reunited with her husband after being separated for a year, and now her son is leaving again. He will be gone for at least several years.
How could she not be secretly sad?
Gai Jun said: "My son is gone."
"You actually said stupid things. My son was granted the title of Marquis and Bailang at a young age, making others envious. My mother is so happy. But you have rarely achieved anything, so you must not be arrogant to others."
"My son has remembered it."
Gai Ma Zhao stood up and showed her clothes in front of Gai Jun.
Gai Xun walked in and smiled when he saw the warm scene of mother and son. A virtuous wife and a filial son, what more could a husband ask for?
"Father."
"Well, Jinnu, you no longer have to worry about becoming an official, but you can't leave behind your classics. Many of my classmates are officials in Beijing, and the most famous among them is Uncle Ma Weng. I plan to let you worship him as your teacher.
"
"No." Gai Jun said respectfully. Zheng Xuan, Ma Rixi, and Lu Zhi are the three great disciples of Ma Rong. Except for the first one who was imprisoned by the party, the other two have already served as officials. Compared with the great Confucian Ma Rixi, he wanted to worship him more.
Lu Zhi, who "liked to delve into the essence rather than stick to the rules and sentences", became his teacher. After all, his goal was to apply what he learned rather than to get a doctorate in Confucian classics. It is a pity that the latter is not in the capital at the moment.
After Gai Xun took out the letter he had already written from his sleeve and handed it to him, he added: "In addition, although you have not yet been crowned, you are still an adult. When you go to the capital to be alone, you must have words to interact with others. The word "Father" has been thought of for you.
Well, the so-called five people are called Mao, ten people are called Xuan, a hundred people are called Jun, a thousand people are called Ying, twice the Ying is called Xian, ten thousand people are called Jies, and ten thousand Jies are called Sages. Wise, outstanding, and sage are all undesirable, so I will be
You choose Ziying, Gaijun and Gaiying."

Gai Jun, who had obtained his cousin's name, strolled back to the study room in the small courtyard, touched his robe, and was so moved that he had no sleep all night.
When it was almost dawn, he ordered his servants to pack their bags. When he went out, he saw Gai Yin and his wife standing outside the courtyard carrying packages.
"I knew it..." Gai Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I tossed and turned in bed thinking about it all night, and decided to go to Kyoto with you." Gai Yin's eyes were as firm as iron.
Gai Jun turned to Abai and said, "Why are you messing around with him?"
A Bai pursed his lips and smiled and said: "I have taken care of the young master for several years, and I know the young master's habits best. No one else can match me."
Having said that, there is no need to dwell on it anymore.
Gai Jun sent away the maidservant who was originally going to take him away, and took the two of them away quietly.
No worship to God, no goodbye.
Parting is the most painful thing in the world.
It would be better not to see her than to feel sad and melancholy as a family.
This day is June 11th, the sixth year of Xiping.);.
