Chapter 394: Reluctance to go out
Zheng Xuan (August 29, 127 - 200), the word Kangcheng. A native of Gaomi County, Beihai County (now Gaomi City, Shandong Province). Confucian scholar and master of scripture in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zheng Xuan once entered Taixue to study "Jingshi Yi", "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Three Unification Calendars", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and learned "Ancient Texts and Books", "Zhou Li" and "Zuo Chuan" from Zhang Gongzu, and finally learned ancient scriptures from Ma Rong. After returning from the study tour, he returned to Donglai, gathered disciples to teach, and his disciples reached thousands of people, and his family was poor and studious, and he finally became a great Confucian. The disaster of the party was imprisoned, and Du Men commented and devoted himself to writing. In his later years, he was forced to join the army, and finally died of illness in Yuancheng at the age of seventy-four.
The above is a simple historical record of Zheng Xuan's life.
In addition, there are some detailed accounts of Zheng Xuan's events.
Now, in order to crusade against the powerful Yellow Turban Army, the imperial court has granted amnesty to the party members and lifted the party.
In other words, now the Han Dynasty, many celebrities and celebrities who were implicated by the party at the beginning, can become officials. As a matter of fact, the rulers of the imperial court who held the authority did also send out invitations to many people with real talents and learning, and recruited them to become officials in the imperial court.
Even those traitors in the court, such as the Ten Standing Servants, they also want to recruit some celebrities with real talents and learning to enter the court as officials, so as to expand their influence in the court.
Zheng Xuan has indeed been invited by many parties in recent years.
General He Jin, who was in charge of the military horses of the Han Dynasty, in order to win the hearts of the people and improve his influence in the imperial court, specially recruited Zheng Xuan into the court as an official.
This, there is a very detailed record, that is, in 185 years, He Jin sent officials to coerce Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan had no choice but to enter the court to see He Jin, but after seeing He Jin, only one night, Zheng Xuan fled with the camera.
As for the following, Zheng Xuan's life was not very easy.
And Liu Xian came to look for him this time, but it happened that General He Jin sent people to coerce Zheng Xuan to enter Beijing.
Zheng Xuan was a great Confucian in the world, a master of scripture, and had thousands of disciples.
However, these thousands of disciples do not refer to the present, but to the fact that they existed before the party, and although there were disciples later, there were not too many, and even fewer disciples were still studying with Zheng Xuan.
Therefore, don't look at Zheng Xuan as a great Confucian in the world and famous at home, but he is still relatively poor.
Zheng Mansion looks like it is barely a mansion, but it looks a little dilapidated, on the surface, it is estimated that Zheng Xuan has not had a good time over the years.
When the captain waved his hand to let the officers and soldiers get out of the way and let Zheng Qing and Liu Xian enter the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Qing lowered his voice in Liu Xian's ear and said: "Liu Xiangongzi, my uncle is too stubborn and unwilling to accept anyone's funding, his main source of livelihood is to collect a very small number of students to come to apprentice to the teacher. He doesn't want to go out, it is estimated that no one can force him, this time I am afraid that my uncle will be in trouble, and after a while, I will ask Liu Xiangongzi to think of a way to solve the trouble for my uncle. Of course, if there is really no way, I can only persuade my uncle to follow these officers and soldiers into Beijing first. ”
Zheng Qing did feel a little troublesome at this time, General He Jin personally sent officers and soldiers to invite his uncle, depending on the situation, even if his uncle was unwilling, they would be forcibly invited away. Zheng Qing was worried that if he provoked the dissatisfaction of these officers and soldiers, he would be disadvantageous to his uncle, and he would suffer his uncle.
"Zheng Jun Sima, don't worry too much, let's meet your uncle first."
Liu Xian already knew what was going on, so how could he let Zheng Xuan be coerced into Beijing by these officers and soldiers again? With their own presence, these officers and soldiers are nothing at all, if they dare to use force, Liu Xian will naturally clean them up.
Of course, this should also be Zheng Qing's difficulty.
Zheng Qing's current identity is a general of the imperial court, even if he is a military commander of a local county, he has to be controlled by He Jin, a general. These officers and soldiers were ordered by He Jin to come, and Zheng Qing really didn't dare to do anything. If he dares to disobey the orders of these officers and soldiers, then Zheng Qing will lose his military ministry, and if he is beaten as a rebel, then it will be troublesome, not only him, but the entire Zheng family will probably be in trouble.
But Liu Xian will not have so many scruples. A small lieutenant sent by General He Jin couldn't suppress Liu Xian.
What's more, the most direct thing is that this place is too far away from the capital of Luoyang, and Liu Xian has the ability to have a way to evaporate these officers and soldiers. Of course, this is the worst thing to do. To solve this trouble, Liu Xian has a solution.
Zheng Xuan is indeed a little shabby, but it is not small.
After Liu Xian entered the Zheng Mansion with Zheng Qing, he saw that many of the houses in it had undergone certain transformations, giving Liu Xian the feeling that it was more like a academy.
Sure enough, Zheng Qing continued to whisper to Liu Xian.
"In my uncle's house, some houses have been converted into school houses, and in normal times, villagers within a radius of dozens of miles can send their own children here to study as long as they want. There are even many students who come from afar to study. Therefore, in my uncle's house, there are some foreign students living there. However, after the Yellow Turban Riots, most of the students have left, and it is not known how many remain to study with their uncles. ”
"Mr. Zheng Xuan is really amazing."
Liu Xian sincerely admired.
Imprisoned, living in seclusion, in addition to his own continuous study, research and learning, but also insisted on cultivating disciples. This is an admirable act of being a teacher.
Liu Xian felt that if he invited Zheng Xuan to his Liulin Village, he should have a great chance of success. Because his Liu Mansion Academy will definitely attract him.
Finally arrived at the back hall.
"I said that the old man will not enter Beijing with you, and the Zheng Mansion is not welcome to wait, please go back and explain the reason to General He Jin. The old man is old and frail, overwhelmed by heavy responsibilities, and it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility, so there is no need to embarrass the old man anymore. ”
In the hall of this backyard, a long-bearded literati in his fifties sat on a chair in the middle, and he said with a full sense of anger.
That captain Jiang Bin, he came in with a few personal soldiers and followed behind Zheng Qing and Liu Xian. He said it to Jiang Bin and others.
Liu Xian also saw that behind him, there was still a young man standing, and there were also a few people who looked like students in front of him.
"Lord Zheng, please think about it again, we were ordered by the general to order us to invite Mr. Zheng to the capital."
Jiang Bin said behind Zheng Qing, Liu Xian and others.
"Don't think about it, the old man has made up his mind, please go back...... Hey? Zheng Qing, why are you back? ”
Zheng Xuan saw clearly that it was Zheng Qing who came in.
"Zheng Qing, meet your uncle." Zheng Qing stepped forward and knelt in front of Zheng Xuan.
"What? Could it be that they also gave you an order to persuade your uncle to enter Beijing as an official? Zheng Xuan frowned, and looked back and forth at the people who came in with Zheng Qing with a displeased expression.
Liu Xian stepped forward at this time and bowed his hand to Zheng Xuan: "Mr. Zheng has misunderstood. Zheng Jun Sima personally asked him to lead the way to meet Mr. Zheng. Liu Xian, Liufu of Liulin Village, Julu County, visited Mr. Zheng Xuan. “
"Oh? Liu Xian, Liu Mansion of Liulin Village? Zheng Xuan's face was a little surprised, and it fell on Liu Xian's body.
Zheng Xuan is not a person who does not listen to things outside the window, even if he does not leave the house, he can still know a lot of things in the outside world. Liu Xian's name, he did hear people talk about it.
After all, Zheng Xuan is living in seclusion here, but he is not a real mountain villager, he is now, there are still a few disciples in front of him who are learning from him, and these disciples will definitely tell Teacher Zheng Xuan some news outside when they come back.
Of course, he certainly didn't know about the recent news.
"Liulin Village? Is it the same Liu Xian who relieved tens of thousands of people in Yangshi County? Although Zheng Xuan is more than fifty years old, he is indeed well-read and has a strong memory, he remembers some of the things his disciples told him, and remembers Liu Xian.
"Exactly down there." Liu Xian saw that Zheng Xuan seemed to have heard of him, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and nodded.
"Is it really you? Yes, young and extraordinary. It's just that...... How did you end up in the North Sea? Why do you come to see the old man? Could it be ......"
Zheng Xuan asked a few questions, he wanted to ask Liu Xian if he wanted to come to study, but he didn't ask. After all, Liu Xian is not an unknown person, if Liu Xian didn't come to study, he would be a little embarrassed after asking.
Liu Xian stood up straight and did not answer Zheng Xuan immediately. Instead, he turned to Jiang Bin and the other officers and soldiers who followed in and said, "My son has something I want to ask Mr. Zheng for advice, and I don't want to wait here to disturb you." And you see, if it's not early today, even if Mr. Zheng agrees to you, it will not be possible to make the trip immediately, so you better quit first. Zheng Mansion is a quiet place, what are you officers and soldiers doing here? I want to invite Mr. Zheng to Beijing, and you can talk about it another day. ”
"Hmph, the captain of this school must invite Mr. Zheng to Beijing, what does it have to do with you? What about Liu Xian, Liu Mansion in Liulin Village? What right do you have to let me wait to leave the Zheng Mansion? "Jiang Bin naturally doesn't bird Liu Xian.
To be honest, they had actually made up their minds and planned to forcibly take Zheng Xuan away.
However, forcibly taking it away is completely different from Zheng Xuan's own promise to enter Beijing. After all, Zheng Xuan is not an unknown person, and they also have to worry about the consequences, especially when Zheng Xuan entered Beijing as an official. They are worried that they will be too ruthlessly offended, and if Zheng Xuan wants to settle accounts with them in the future, it will actually be a matter of one sentence.
Because of this, they couldn't make up their minds for a long time, so Jiang Bin went outside to discuss with a few of his henchmen how to get Zheng Xuan to Luoyang Capital to meet General He Jin.
While they were discussing, Zheng Qing came with Liu Xian and his party.
Because there were more than 300 people coming, Jiang Bin was really worried about what an uncontrollable accident would happen, so he followed Zheng Qing and Liu Xian in. I want to see what Zheng Qing is going to talk about when he comes back to talk to his uncle. Of course, in front of Zheng's mansion, he had already told Zheng Qing, the military Sima of Beihai County, that he hoped that Zheng Qing could help persuade him. Therefore, let's follow up together, I also want to see if Zheng Qing will help.
"Heh......" Liu Xian shook his head and smiled, and said to Jiang Bin: "Mr. Zheng Xuan has already given you an answer, he is unwilling to enter Beijing, what else do you want?" Could it be that you want to forcibly kidnap Mr. Zheng into Beijing? ”
"Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng are just not clear about the situation for a while. Who in the world doesn't want to be an official? I think Mr. Zheng will agree. Jiang Bin said with some strong words.
"Okay, okay, I don't care about these things for you, but now this son wants to say something to Mr. Zheng, please avoid it."
"What if the captain doesn't avoid it?" Jiang Bin didn't take Liu Xian in his eyes at all.
When Liu Xian heard this, his face turned cold, and he stared at Jiang Bin and said, "You really don't know who this son is?" Okay, I'll give you a formal introduction. This son uses the young master of Liu Mansion in Liulin Village, Julu County, a clan relative of the Han family, and worships the noble man of the Plains Mansion Ma Guiren as a righteous mother, and is now the same as the young master of the Plains Palace. Not long ago, about 50,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro came to invade Yangshi County, and Ben Gongzi personally led the army to defeat the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, beheaded Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, and captured 20,000 Yellow Turban Army. A few days ago, in Beihai County, he led the caravan escort of Liufu to defeat 30,000 Taishan Yellow Turban Army, beheaded countless people, and captured tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves. What kind of thing are you a little lieutenant? Get out of the Zheng Mansion for me, otherwise, don't blame Ben Gongzi's ruthlessness. “
"What? The Yellow Turban Army that attacked Beihai County was defeated? “
Jiang Bin was taken aback, they really wanted to go to Beihai County first to recruit Zheng Xuan, but seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was attacking Beihai City, they hurriedly made a detour.
But how long has it been since so many Yellow Turban troops have been defeated?
"Captain Jiang, if the crisis in Beihai County is not resolved, how can Sima of this army dare to leave and return to Zheng Mansion?"
Zheng Qing said at this time.
"Do you believe each other? With just four or five hundred of you officers and soldiers, this son can make you unable to return to Beijing casually? Get the hell out of here! ”
Liu Xian drank a sentence, and as soon as he was lucky, an invisible momentum emanated, and his eyes looked at Jiang Bin with a cold air.
Although Jiang Bin was a school captain, Liu Xian sensed that he was only a quasi-military general at best, and he was not in the stream at all. At first glance, it should be based on a relationship to obtain a military position, such a guy, how dare he look down on himself? Is it just by who he is?
"Humph!"
Jiang Bin was a little hairy by Liu Xian, and of course he was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to snort coldly and retreat with his officers and soldiers in a huff.
"Let Mr. Zheng smile, such villains, you really don't need to give them a good face." Liu Xian turned to Zheng Xuan and said: "Mr. Zheng, it is estimated that they are not good, if you don't bring Mr. Zheng to the capital, I'm afraid you won't be willing." I'm afraid that they will forcibly threaten Mr. Zheng, you can make it. In this world, there is not much difference between officials and bandits. ”
"Alas, don't hide it from Liu Xian, they have actually threatened the old man." Zheng Xuan said helplessly.
"Oh? What does Mr. Zheng mean? Liu Xian is not talented, if Mr. Zheng is really unwilling to enter Beijing and become an official, I have many ways to help. ”
Liu Xian directly told Zheng Xuan that he could help.
