Chapter Seventy-Four: Soulmates Are Hard to Find
Lord. Early in the morning, Chen Mo was still here to teach Dian Wei and Dian Man's principles of being a man, and he saw Xu Shu coming in in a hurry.
"What's the matter? Put you in a hurry. Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu with a solemn face and asked with a smile.
"Just now, the family teacher received a letter from Youzhou, and Duke Lu had passed away in Shangjun last year." Xu Shu saluted Chen Mo and said, "The family teacher is a little sad. ”
"Lu Gong ......" Chen Mo felt that his heart was suddenly a little depressed, and he met and carried him for the first time in the pavilion...... Chen Mo sighed: "When is it?" ”
"Winter." Xu Shu said.
"That's all for today." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said: "Inform Bo Ning that all the government offices under my rule will hang up Su Su for three days to pay tribute to Duke Lu!" ”
"Whoa!" Dian Wei immediately agreed, and turned around with his son to leave.
"Come with me to my father-in-law." Chen Mo took Xu Shu out, Lu Zhi represents an era in a sense, among the three great Confucians in the world, Zheng Xuan is a hermit, although Cai Yong is in the court, but pays more attention to literature, only Lu Zhi, who has been working hard for the Han all his life, Wen Ke Anbang, Wu can set the country, even if he was repeatedly suspicious in his later years, he has never changed his loyalty to the Han, for this elder, Chen Mo has always had a high respect, not just because Lu Zhi took a lot of care of himself in Luoyang, that is a kind of admiration for Lu Zhi's spirit, Chen Mo couldn't be like Lu Zhi, but that didn't prevent him from admiring people like Lu Zhi.
On Cai's house, before entering the door, he heard the sound of the piano, which carried a strong sense of sadness.
Even if people don't understand the rhythm of music, they will inevitably have a little sadness in their hearts at this moment, although Chen Mo doesn't learn, but after listening a lot, he naturally knows how to appreciate it, and this feeling is naturally stronger.
"Mountains and rivers, bosom friends are hard to find!" Chen Mo sighed, he was extremely strong-willed and had a strong control over his emotions, he was able to resist this sadness and take Xu Shu straight into the door.
In the main hall, Cai Yong's most beloved Jiao Weiqin was placed on the table, as if he hadn't noticed the arrival of the two, silently stroking the qin, and the steward on the side wanted to come forward to remind him, but was stopped by Chen Mo with gestures.
"My father-in-law is sad now, and he needs to announce it, don't interrupt him, let people boil some chicken soup and wait, I'm afraid this piano will be played for a long time." Chen Mo said to the steward.
"Well, the old slave will go." Cai An nodded, glanced at Cai Yong, sighed, and went to prepare according to what Chen Mo said.
Chen Mo and Xu Shu sat silently under Cai Yong, quietly listening to the sound of the piano, the same mountains and rivers, the rhythm played by different moods gives people a different feeling, it is obviously the spring of the recovery of all things, listening to the sound of the piano at the moment, but there is a sense of autumn gloom.
Chen Mo and Xu Shu kept listening, and when the sun was in the west, they could clearly feel that the sound of the piano was a little messy, Chen Mo looked towards Cai Yong, and saw that Cai Yong's hands were a little shaking, which was exhausted of physical strength.
"Father-in-law!" Chen Mo knew that at this time, Cai Yong was afraid that it would be difficult to maintain that state of selflessness, and his voice disrupted the sound of the piano.
As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, Cai Yong raised his head, looked at Chen Mo, and then looked at Xu Shu, sighed lightly, and lowered his head to grope his Aiqin.
Chen Mo smashed his mouth outside the door, Cai An hurriedly came in with chicken soup, Chen Mo got up and took it, and brought it to Cai Yong's case and said: "Father-in-law, this is a person who will be born, old, sick and die, Lu Gong died of illness, and we are naturally sad in our hearts, but the living people must continue, you still have Zhao Ji, and the clansmen, this tragedy hurts the lungs, if you fall ill because of this, how can I explain to Zhao Ji when I go back?" She's just given birth......"
"Alas~" Cai Yong glanced at Chen Mo, nodded and said abruptly: "I intersected with Zigan in Weimo, I studied under Taifu Hu Guang, Zigan studied under Chen Qiu and Ma Rong, what I learned was more miscellaneous than me, but I was proficient in everything, speaking of which, at that time, the two of us were dissatisfied with each other for a period of time......
Decades of old things, now from Cai Yong's mouth, it is quite a taste, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi are close in age, and when they were young, they were also high-spirited,-for-tat but sympathetic to each other, that feeling is very beautiful, but it makes people feel an indescribable sadness.
"Ciming left a few years ago, and now Zigan has also passed away, I don't know when it will be my turn?" Cai Yong took the chicken soup in his hand and said astringently.
"Father-in-law!" Chen Mo's tone was a little heavier, and he said in a long voice: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law knows some medical science, this person's numerology is sometimes related to mentality, the family teacher once said to me, the suffering of life, seven or eight out of ten, but only those two or three are difficult to give up, father-in-law think about Zhaoji, think about Jin'er, and Ah Mei who is far away in Jiangdong, is my father-in-law really willing to give up these?" Jin'er can't speak yet, and Zhaoji has always hoped that he can call his mother and grandfather. ”
"You~" Cai Yong shook his head when he heard this, but the bitterness and sadness in his heart were mostly dispersed with Chen Mo's words, and he touched the Aegean in front of him and said, "Bo Dao, do you know the origin of this qin?" ”
"The name of the piano is Jiaowei, and the body of the piano is made by a section of sycamore wood that my father-in-law rescued in the fire when he went to Jianghai and traveled to Wuhui, and Zhao Ji told me." Chen Mo saw that Cai Yong had recovered a few points, and smiled.
"I love this piano very much, and I have a friend of the boya period in the past, and my generation yearns for it." Cai Yong stroked the body of the piano and said abruptly: "I have friends with Zigan, although it is not as good as Bo Yazi, but Zigan has gone, and I have no intention of playing it again, I want to destroy this piano, but I am reluctant to give it up, today, you will take this piano to Zhao Ji." ”
The sound of the piano is still the same, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend.
"The child obeys!" Chen Mo opened his mouth, but finally nodded in response.
After accompanying Cai Yong for a long time, Chen Mo took the Jiao Weiqin and took Xu Shu out of Cai's mansion.
"Lord, he ...... teacher" Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo and said a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, although the father-in-law is sad, he still has concerns, the Hanshu has not yet been written, and there are daughters and grandsons, and the father-in-law has too many concerns, once this person has concerns, he will not die so easily." Chen Mo smiled.
"Then Lu Gong ......" Xu Shu wondered, didn't Lu Zhi care?
"The biggest concern of Duke Lu in this life is this big man, in fact, when Dong Zhuo entered the court, Duke Lu was probably already discouraged, I heard that he later became Yuan Shao's military advisor, but what Yuan Shao did, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like there is a meaning to restore the Han family, and at this point, it is even more ...... to restore the Han family" In the end, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.
When the old man's lifelong faith could not see hope, he could actually understand Lu Zhi's mentality in his later years, Chen Mo hugged the qin and said as he walked: "I wanted to visit Shanggu, but I never took the time, I didn't want to say goodbye last time." ”
Xu Shu nodded silently, in such an era, some people may be really a lifetime if they say goodbye.
In front of sending Chen Mo to the door of the mansion, Xu Shu said goodbye, he had other things to deal with, and now Xu Shu is in a state of half-learning and half-learning.
Chen Mo returned to the mansion and handed Jiao Weiqin to Cai Yan.
"Husband, this is my father's love for the qin, how can I ......" Cai Yan looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.
Chen Mo said Lu Zhi's matter again: "My father-in-law is somewhat sad now, and my wife has nothing to do on weekdays, so I can visit one or two." ”
Cai Yan nodded silently and saluted Chen Mo: "Thank you, husband." ”
"You and I husband and wife, it should be like this, why do you need to say thanks?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand to support his wife and said, "Let's go, go and sit at my mother's." ”
……
Lu Zhi left silently, but when the news spread, Chen Mo ordered the whole territory of the government office to be su, and no wedding banquet was allowed for three days, Yuan Shao also stopped all military activities, Gongsun Zhan, as Lu Zhi's disciple, made the whole army wear filial piety, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were the same.
Each era has the mark of each era, during the period of Emperor Huan, there were Li Ying and Chen Fan, and during the period of Emperor Ling, it was a famous man led by the three monarchs, and after the yellow scarf, the mark of the times was Lu Zhi.
When the world is chaotic and the princes gradually disagree, only he is running all day for the Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi has had the opportunity to support the army more than once, but even if the court is suspicious, take away his military power and even go to prison, Lu Zhi has not resisted at all, but did not hesitate to give up the military power in his hands and return to Luoyang, even if there is more dissatisfaction in his heart, he has never complained, whether it is his talent or his virtue, the four words of celebrity and man, Lu Zhi deserves it.
It may be a bit too late to say that this belongs to Lu Zhi's era, Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, the older generation of civil and military are also dazzling, and their achievements in their respective fields may not be lower than Lu Zhi, but as far as Lu Zhi is concerned, I am afraid no one will object.
Lu Zhi's death, Cai Yong's seclusion in Hedong and ignoring the world, also represents the end of an era.
Whether it is sad or sad, the things of this world will not stop because of anyone, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't withstand the passage of time.
Lu Zhi's death, but also only made the princes stop fighting slightly, after the mourning, Yuan Shu again raised troops to attack Chenliu, at the same time Yuan Shao also sent his eldest son to Qingzhou, ready to compete with Gongsun Zhan for Qingzhou, the world war after the beginning of the spring again.
Hedong, Anyi.
"My lord! Chang'an has just sent the news. Man Pet hurriedly came to Chen Mo's side, handed a roll of bamboo slips to Chen Mo and said: "Li Dao ordered Zhang Ji and Fan Choutun to be in the Xinfeng area, it seems that there is a intention to move troops to our army." ”
Chen Mo stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip, frowned and looked at it, and then thought: "At this time, it seems that there is a shortage of food. ”
"Exactly!" Man Zhong nodded and said: "Since last year, the Xiliang army has wantonly plundered the people, causing a large number of people to move here, and now there are as many as 130,000 households in the Heluo area alone. ”
"I don't really want to fight right now." Chen Mo frowned and said: "Now that most of the veterans of our army are sent to all sides to fight the enemy, although there are many new troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Xiliang army." ”
Even if he wins the battle with the advantage of geography, it will be a disastrous victory, Chen Mo does not want to waste his precious troops on this kind of meaningless war of attrition, even if he wins, if he suffers heavy damage, it will be difficult to take advantage of the situation to occupy Guanzhong.
"Lord, if General Huaxiong ......" Man Chong knew that Huaxiong and Chen Mo had a good relationship, and after Huaxiong led the army to occupy Zuo Feng Yi, Chen Mo never defended over there, and Hua Xiong did not garrison troops over there, although Chen Mo did not say it, but obviously, there was some secret alliance between Huaxiong and Chen Mo.
"He can't move for the time being." Chen Mo shook his head, knowing what Man Zhong had seen, but Hua Xiong and Xu Rong were the two important sons who annexed Guanzhong by themselves, so they couldn't move lightly at this time, and they had to have the strength to suppress these two people.
"Lord, you have a plan!"
