Chapter 205 Xu Hong's Homecoming

Chapter 269 Xu Hong's Homecoming

Xu Hong and Li Chengqian stayed in the study for a long time. No one knew what they said, but when Xu Hong left the study, his expression was very complicated.

There was horror, there was respect, and there was a touch of relief.

After he left Su's house, on the other side of the corridor, Su Quan came out from the corner.

After staring at Xu Hong's back for a while, Su Quan turned and walked into the study.

"Your Highness, what does Governor Xu want from you?" Su Quan couldn't help asking.

Li Chengqian grinned, "He saw that I was too handsome, so he planned to hang out with me."

"what?"

Su Quan was at a loss, "Didn't Xu Hong's son Xu Shen be arrested by you, and he still wants to follow you?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Sometimes, in the face of absolute interests, the son is nothing, then you just wait and see the good show."

Su Quan nodded, and said: "Xu Hong is able to become the governor of a state. Apart from the support of his wife Yan, he also has his own strength."

"Huh?" Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, and said in surprise, "He mentioned Gao Yang just now. Could it be that he is the Xu family of Gao Yang?"

The Xu family in Gaoyang originated from the Xu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the Xu State was destroyed, its descendants were scattered in various places, and one of them moved to Gaoyang.

This branch of the surname Xu had a high political status in the Han Dynasty and had a great influence, so Gaoyang has been regarded as the prefect of the surname Xu since ancient times.

During the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, Xu Yun of the Xu family was famous in Jizhou when he was young, and was recruited by the court as an official.

Emperor Ming of Wei was appointed Minister of the time to choose Cao Lang. Emperor Ming suspected that he had chosen improper officials, so he was imprisoned. Later, after checking, no cheating was found, and seeing Xu Yun's shabby clothes, he believed that Xu Yun was a clean and honest official and released him. Later, he served as the prefect of the county, and gradually promoted to Shizhong, Shangshu, and Zhongling.

When Sima Yi was good at the government of Wei State, Xu Yun was appointed as the general of Zhenbei and the military governor of Hebei.

When he had accepted the seal festival, someone suddenly reported that Xu Yun had used official money to pay for comedians, so he was imprisoned again, and later sentenced to exile, and moved to the border to work. Halfway along, he fell ill and died.

In fact, the misdemeanor Xu Yun committed was not fatal. The reason why he ended up like this is because he offended Sima.

At that time, Sima Yi had already held great power, but Xu Yun offended him. Isn't that looking for cuts?
And Xu Yun has two sons, Xu Qi and Xu Meng, both of whom are talented in governance.

During the reign of the Western Jin Dynasty, Xu Qi served as the captain of Keli, and Xu Meng served as the governor of Youzhou.

Xu Shi, the son of Xu Meng, was very talented, and served successively as the internal historian of Puyang and the prefect of Pingyuan;

Xu Shisheng had two sons, namely Xu Fan and Xu Mai, among whom Xu Fan was an official to Jin Situ.

Xu Mai had four sons, Xu Mao, Xu Xun, Xu Yi and Xu Ya.

Xu Xun, whose alias is Xuandu, was a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He did not seek official status, but devoted himself to the study of Huang Lao's techniques. He had close relations with the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi and politician Xie An, and had many contacts.

After the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Xu family moved to the south due to the war in the north. This was another great migration of the family.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xu Mao of the Xu family was even more powerful in the Southern Dynasties. His son Xu Heng was Wei Weiqing in the Chen Dynasty and ranked among the Jiuqing, which shows his status.

Xu Heng had a son named Xu Shanxin, who was a minister in the Sui Dynasty, and Xu Shanxin's son was named Xu Jingzong...

That's right, it is Xu Jingzong, who is currently serving as the assistant minister in the court!

Su Tan said: "That's right, he was born in the Xu family in Gaoyang, and his father is Xu Shanxin's nephew Xu Hongren."

"In the 14th year of the great cause, Yu Wenhuaji killed Yang Guang. All the officials went to congratulate him, but Xu Shanxin did not go."

"His nephew Xu Hongren made a special trip to persuade him to go to court, and said that General Yuwen had no malice towards his uncle. If he didn't go, he would die. Xu Shanxin ignored him, so Xu Hongren had to leave in tears. In the second year of Wude, was killed."

"Xu Hongren's son was originally named Xu Youcai. After Xu Hongren was murdered in the second year of Wude, he changed his name to Xu Hong."

Li Chengqian racked his brains to calculate, blinked his eyes and said: "According to this, isn't this Xu Hong the nephew of Xu Jingzong?"

"Yes!" Su Quan said: "In the past, Xu Hong and the Yan family were married, which was considered a strong alliance. As a result, Xu Jingzong was demoted because he offended His Majesty. The Xu family lost its backbone and gradually declined."

"If it wasn't for Yan's help, Xu Hong would definitely not be able to take the position of governor. Because of this, Xu Hong didn't dare to offend his wife."

"And his wife, Yan Shi, especially dotes on her son Xu Shen, which makes Xu Shen's character so arrogant and domineering."

Li Chengqian stroked his chin and said: "When I went to Chang'an, Xu Jingzong came to me and said that I would be loyal to me..."

As he said that, he couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect his cousin Xu Hong to become his own. It's God's will!"

Su Quan was surprised and said: "Your Highness, does Xu Jingzong also have a relationship with you?"

Li Chengqian smiled, but did not answer.

Whoever Xu Jingzong belongs to can bring him benefits, he has an intersection with whoever, but that's fine, such a thing will be useful one day...

After Xu Hong returned to the Governor's Mansion, someone sent Xu Shen back.

He didn't suffer any torture, except for his pale face, there was nothing wrong with him.

But Xu Hong didn't intend to let him go. When Xu Shen just arrived home and was about to find a maid to vent his anger, two guards suddenly pinned him to the ground.

"What are you doing, don't you know this young master? Be careful that this young master interrupts your dog legs!"

Xu Shen's face was pressed tightly against the ground, with a distorted expression.

"Humph!"

Xu Hong walked over with a dark face.

Xu Shen hurriedly said: "Father, these two bastards are bullying me, you should kill them!"

Hearing Xu Shen's words, the corners of Xu Hong's mouth twitched, and there was a trace of unbearable in his eyes.

But then, he shouted coldly: "Come here, break this scoundrel's legs for me!"

A guard walked up to Xu Shen with a stick in his hand, expressionless.

After Xu Shen heard what he said, his face immediately changed, "Father...you...what are you doing? I am a gentleman, your son!"

Xu Hong was even more furious, "If you weren't my son, I'm afraid you would have been beaten to death long ago. Do you know how difficult it is to save your life now?"

"Father...I..."

"Call me!"

The more Xu Hong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he yelled for someone to do it.

When the guard received the order, he raised his stick high and swung it down vigorously.

Suddenly, a roar like a slaughtering pig rang out over the calm governor's mansion...

...

A few days later, Li Chengqian finally led Su Han and the others and set off for Qianzhou again.

At the beginning of July, they finally returned to Qianzhou.

After leaving Qianzhou for more than a month, the changes are quite big.

First of all, the Tang Zhidao planned by Li Chengqian has started construction. Tens of thousands of people from Qianzhou set off to Jingzhou. According to the current progress, Jingzhou and Qianzhou should be connected in about half a year.

Although Tang Zhidao was not repaired, there was an endless stream of businessmen coming to Qianzhou.

Now that the entire Tang Dynasty knows that the Qianzhou Twelve Scholars dominate the list, the common people are shocked and curious.

They all wanted to see what kind of feng shui treasure Qianzhou was able to produce so many Jinshi!

And more people come and go, which means increased consumption.

So those merchants who were the first to open shops in Qianzhou became the first people to eat crabs!
