Chapter 1004 Yuan and Shi
Everyone knows that the Shi family's troubles in Jiaozhou are well known. Everyone knows that this time the Shi family fought with the emperor, they were completely defeated. The whole family almost lost all basis. The whole family was captured in Luoyang, and under the emperor's control
He was put under house arrest and monitored right under his nose.
Whether you live or die is entirely up to someone else.
Although the emperor granted the residences of Shi Xie and Shi Yi, gave each of them the title of nominal general, and also granted them the title of Tinghou, ensuring that they would have adequate food and clothing and a respected status, but compared with the original all-powerful party, they were actually incompetent.
There is one heaven and one earth.
From then on, they had to rely on others to live their lives.
Regarding the affairs of the scholar family, one of the people who was most concerned was Yuan Tan.
Why Yuan Tan cares about the scholar family is because of empathy.
Looking at the situation in Luoyang, I am afraid that the only people who are as miserable as myself are the Shi family.
Not long after the entire scholar family arrived in Luoyang, Liu Qi held a banquet for all ministers in the Nangong Palace on the grounds that the new year was approaching. At this banquet, almost all the famous people in Luoyang were invited to the palace. It was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Of course, this also includes the descendants of the scholar family and Yuan Tan.
And whether it was intentional or not, Liu Qi deliberately arranged for special groups like Sun Ce, Yuan Yao, Yuan Tan, and the scholar family to be together at the banquet.
At first, everyone just celebrated and had a banquet on the spot, but after the wine was drunk, as the music started to sound, people started to stand up and dance in the hall to the music.
As the number of dancers increased, the number of people joining each other to toast each other also increased.
During this period, Zhao Yun came to Shi's house and toasted Shi Xie, Shi Yi and others.
At the same time, Zhao Yun also invited Yuan Tan to come with him to toast Shi Xie.
Although Yuan Tan is incompatible with Luoyang Zhongzhong, he still has to do things on the scene. After all, as a descendant of the Yuan family, etiquette cannot be compromised.
In this way, Yuan Tan and the Shi family became acquainted.
When Shi Xie saw Yuan Tan sitting alone, he immediately invited him to come and have a drink with him.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, Shi Xie also asked Zhao Yun to stay.
After a banquet, Yuan Tan became familiar with Shi's family, including Shi Xie, Shi Yi, Shi Hui and Shi Kuang.
After the banquet, the Shi family took a carriage back to their suburban home. On the way, Shi Hui complained to Shi Xie: "Sir, is this the life you want?"
Shi Xie snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "This is not the life I wanted, but I have to live like this now... Isn't it because of you?"
Shi Hui was speechless for a moment.
Shi Xie slowly opened his half-closed eyes: "I and your uncle are now generals. Although they are not in charge of troops, they are still under the management of the court according to the rules. They also need to attend military meetings on time. It's just like you
Like this, without a job, wandering around Luoyang City every day, sooner or later you will cause trouble for me again!"
Shi Yi said from the side: "Brother, you might as well ask Mr. Han to say some kind words in front of His Majesty. It would be better for these nephews in the family to find positions in the capital than for them to live in vain and not even have a place to support themselves in the future."
Hearing this, Shi Hui was shocked and said: "Uncle, what are you talking about? Can't you let me, the eldest son of Jiaozhi in the past, go to the official office in Luoyang and attack those northern scholars?"
"Hmph!" Shi Xie smiled coldly: "The eldest son of Jiaozhi? Now I, the governor of Jiaozhi, have been dragged down by you, why do you think you are the eldest son?"
After that, he looked at Shi Yi and said: "Brother Wei will go to Han Jun and ask him to advise His Majesty... Try to find a place for your nephew and son in the family. Later, you still need to help Brother Wei keep an eye on them."
That’s what it is.”
Shi Yi immediately took the order.
…
Han Ji acted very quickly. He advised Liu Qi on behalf of Shi Xie to find jobs for his children, and Liu Qi readily agreed... Then Han Ji came back with news to the Shi family, saying that Liu Qi had asked these boys from the Shi family
They all entered the cavalry camp and were unified under the command of Zhao Yun.
They were all given the title of Qu Junhou with a salary of 600 shi.
In the eyes of many ordinary soldiers, a six-hundred-stone military position may be a lifelong goal, but in Shi Hui's view, this is simply an insult to him.
But under Shi Xie's pressure, Shi Hui had no choice.
So five people, Shi Hui, Shi Kuang, Shi Zhuan, Shi Gan, and Shi Song, entered the Tunqi camp and returned to Zhao Yun's command.
Zhao Yun took good care of the children of the scholar family and did not deliberately make things difficult for them...as long as they trained on time and abide by the military discipline system.
The scholar brothers had fixed positions. Although they were not as prosperous as they were in Jiaozhi, they could still be considered to have established themselves in Luoyang.
The other children of the Shi family were fine, but Shi Hui felt as if a big stone was blocked in his heart and he couldn't breathe.
On this day, after Shi Hui went to work, he was in a bad mood. He didn't want to go back to the south of the city for a while. He stood in front of the camp and looked around, not knowing where to go.
Soon, Shiqian and Shisong were seen walking next to him.
"Brother is stunned here, what do you mean?"
Shi Hui sighed: "I feel depressed and don't know where to go."
Shi Gan said: "Brother is feeling upset, how about we go to the tavern in the city and get drunk together?"
"Yes, since I came to Luoyang City, I haven't been to the local wine shop in Luoyang, and I don't know what the local wine shop is like. How about we go and have a look today?"
Shi Hui sighed.
At the moment, it seems that besides getting drunk, he really has no other way to express his depression.
The three brothers went to Luoyang City and found the largest wine house in Luoyang City.
It is said to be the largest, but it is just a three-story wooden building.
After all, the construction technology of this era was still relatively limited, and it was generally sufficient to build two or three floors. Therefore, although there were many houses in the city, the floor area ratio was too low.
Therefore, although Luoyang City is large, there are very few people who can live in the main city.
The three Shi family brothers came to the second floor, looking for a drinking table, but soon someone caught their attention.
Yuan Tan was drinking and eating meat at a table. There were even two singing girls beside him. The two women kept putting meat into Yuan Tan's bowl and complimented him constantly. They were really sensual.
Dogs and horses to the extreme.
When Yuan Tan was drinking, he happened to see the Shi family brothers. He hesitated for a moment, and then shouted: "Since the three friends are here, why not sit down together!"
Shiqian turned around and asked Shihui: "Brother, shall we sit with him?"
Shi Hui hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then let's eat together with Captain Yuan."
The three of them sat down immediately, and Yuan Tan immediately called the owner of the tavern and asked him to arrange for several singing girls to accompany them to drink and eat meat.
"I have admired the name of Mr. Shi for a long time. Although we have known each other, we have never been close to each other. Today, by chance, we can get drunk together. It is a great blessing. Today, Tan is the host and we are hosting a banquet for three of us. We will not go home until we are drunk.
