The potter stepped forward two steps, bent down deeply, bowed his hand, made a salute to the juniors, and said: "Little nephew potter, meet Kong Shibo."

I didn't know that Kong Shibo was here, and the little nephew greeted him late, hoping to atone for his sins. ”

Kong Rong and Tao Qian used to be old friends, and the relationship was quite good, otherwise when Xuzhou was besieged in real history, Tao Qian would not have asked Kong Rong for help.

As Tao Qian's son, the potter has known Kong Rong since a very early age.

Looking at the potter's actions, everyone at the scene was short of breath with excitement.

This old man is really one of the Nine Qings, the world-famous Kong Wenju?

"This ...... This ......"

Ma Shizi and other Xuzhou scholars were dumbfounded, speechless.

Kong Rong is the top Confucian in the world, usually even if they take the initiative to come to the door to ask for a meeting, the gift of the disciples and grandchildren may not be seen, but now the real person is in person, and they are said to be old liars.

If this is spread, they will become the laughing stock of the world, and how can they have the face to mix in this circle in the future?

"Meet Kong Shaofu!" After everyone reacted, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

A group of Yanyu scholars next to him also came to give gifts, but they were very happy in their hearts, and they all had an expression of "My family is here, see how you end".

"Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Zhong Ming,"

Kong Rong ignored the scholars around him, but said lightly to the potter: "Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." ”

"Kong Shibo is here, how can he be so slow and let Shibo stay outdoors?"

The potter was busy making the decision for the master here: "Quickly ask Uncle Shi to follow his little nephew to the hall for a talk." ”

Kong Rong glanced at the embarrassed Xuzhou scholars next to him, pointed at them and shook his head and sighed: "You and other young people, you must know that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky."

How can you judge people by their appearance, and without asking in detail, you will know that others can't write articles that surpass Chen Hanyu's?

Today, the old man asked you to open your eyes. ”

As he spoke, Kong Rong took out a few stacks of paper from his arms and handed them to those Xuzhou scholars.

Xuzhou scholars respectfully took it, opened it one after another, and suddenly felt awe-inspiring.

I saw that these were more than a dozen articles, including Xun Yue's, Wang Lang's, and Hua Xin's, all of which were new works by the world's top Confucians.

"Thank you Kong Shaofu for your gift!"

"Thank you Kong Shaofu!"

The Xuzhou scholars couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all rushed to thank him.

Although these articles are all scolding Chen Qi, the owner of the article is too famous, and each one of them is a character they have to look up to.

What's more, many of these dozen articles are written by those world-famous Confucians, and taking them back can not only elevate their identity in front of the world, but also serve as family heirlooms.

Even if they can't get the original pen, each one of these wonderful articles is worth copying back and studying carefully.

At this time, it was the envy of Zheng Shizi and a group of Yanyu scribes.

They also want the handwritten letters of the bigwigs, but it's a pity that Kong Rong only handed it over to Xuzhou Shizi.

After Kong Rong handed over the article, he waved the sleeves of his robe and entered the hall with the potter.

The wealthy businessman here had attracted some small fish and shrimp to come to the meeting, just to raise his status, but he didn't expect to suddenly attract Kong Rong, a predator, at this time, and he was already so happy that the snot bubbles were about to pop up.

However, he also knew that his identity could not be made up in front of Kong Rong, so he had to stand outside carefully and wait, not daring to come forward to disturb.

The other scribes also felt that they were not strong enough to talk to Kong Rong, so they all stood outside.

"How could Kong Shibo be so Yaxing and come here to participate in the cultural meeting?"

There were only two people left in the hall, the potter Kong Rong, and after sitting down, the potter asked respectfully.

"Aren't you angry with Chen Hanyu in Xuzhou?" Kong Rong glared at the potter: "That old man is a man of false words, reversing right and wrong, if the old man doesn't show up to say anything, the public opinion in the world will be led astray by that old man." ”

Kong Rong took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's Zhongming, you, who are young, should be making contributions to your career, how can you have such leisure and elegance?" ”

"Haven't Kong Shibo heard about the little nephew?" The potter smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

Originally, his brother died early, he was a well-deserved prince of Xuzhou, and with the support of the Danyang generals led by Cao Bao, inheriting the foundation of Xuzhou was a matter of nine out of ten.

But he never expected that before his father died, he gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, who had nothing to do with Tao.

The reason turned out to be that their brothers' talents were insufficient, and they would definitely not be able to hold Xuzhou.

How does this make him willing?

If you don't give him a chance, how do you know that he can't keep it?

"Hey!" Kong Rong sighed and said: "Tao Gongzu is also true, the foundation is not passed on to his son, but to outsiders, and the old man really doesn't understand what he thinks."

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the virtuous nephew can't hold Xuzhou, then you might as well dedicate the city to Duke Cao, at this time, Duke Cao may have already recommended the virtuous nephew to be an official in the court. ”

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to the heart of the potter.

As Kong Rong said, if his father had handed Xuzhou into his hands at that time, even if he did not fight the Cao clan and surrendered the city directly, Cao Cao would not have killed a person who had contributed to the city.

According to Cao's later development, it is indeed very likely that he will be recommended to be an official in the court as a reward.

His father handed over Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and its nature was no different from the surrender of Xiancheng, but what did these descendants get?

"Hey! What Kong Shibo said is extremely true, and the little nephew now suspects that his father was seriously ill at the time, probably unconscious, and must have been deceived by Mi Zhu and others, so he made such an unwise move.

It's a pity that before his father died, his little nephew was not by his side, and now it is too late to regret it. ”

"Time is also fate, and luck is also!" Kong Rong shook his head and peeked at the potter.

In fact, Kong Rong came at the behest of Liu Ping, and his purpose was to test the potters to see if the potters had any objections.

Otherwise, Kong Rong would not be idle and bored, and traveled all the way here to participate in that bullshit meeting.

Although the pottery merchant has no power, but the identity is very special, he is the former prince of Xuzhou who was ready to be supported by the generals of the Danyang army, as long as he ascends to the top and shouts, rebels against Liu Bei, the Danyang army will inevitably respond.

The potter is no longer a big man in Xuzhou, and he is not low-key, and his whereabouts can easily be discovered by the Cao faction in Xuzhou.

At that time in Xudu, although Liu Ping did not tell Kong Rong the original plan, Kong Rong was a person who had been a county guard after all, and as soon as Liu Ping said it, Kong Rong understood what it meant.

Although Liu Bei once saved Kong Rong, Liu Bei almost ruined his reputation, and being able to do something in Xuzhou can be regarded as serving the court and repaying Liu Ping, Kong Rong is very happy to do it, so he came happily.

At this time, seeing that the potter was depressed and looked remorseful, Kong Rong was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent and said: "Now that the virtuous nephew is gone, it is meaningless to stay in Xuzhou."

It is better to go back to Xudu with the old man, and the old man will recommend the virtuous nephew to the court as an official, which can also be regarded as a glorious Tao lintel.

I don't know what the virtuous nephew thinks? ”
