Xiping 18th year, February

Yuan Shu, a male general who was only fifty years old, died.

The grief of those who heard it was beyond words.

Yuan Shu was arrogant in his childhood, and worshiped the great Confucian He Zi as a teacher, specializing in the ram, after the death of He Zi, this person joined the army alone, from a soldier's body, promoted to the captain, military marquis, Sima, school captain, as for the left general, the war achievements are great, the enemy is cold, and entered the temple for the three dukes, because of serious injuries to relatives and dismissed the official and family, teaching the prince, governing the scriptures in a good way, once mentioned the three worlds and three riches, for the ram of the precedent, and then worship the Taifu, and help the captain of the division to clean up the traitors of the division, outstanding merits.

Set up the "Ram Spring and Autumn Interpretation Continuation" for the hand-me-down.

The Son of Heaven personally mourned for him, as a friend of Yuan Shu for many years, the Son of Heaven felt extremely sad for his death, and everyone came to see him off.

Although he is gone, his prestige remains.

At that time, Guan Yu lent Yuan Shu's "Ram Interpretation Continuation" to the library for copying, and the four hundred copies were distributed to various places, and within three days, they were borrowed, and because of Yuan Shu's wishes, this book also became the only book in the library that could be borrowed or even copied, and many of the contents of the new deal, including the wealth of the country and the wealth of the people, all made the scholars suddenly wake up, and the ram written by Yuan Shu was a little less angry than before.

He did not comment too much on the content of great revanchism, but more inclined to the general strategy of governing the country and the strategy of governing the world, including attaching importance to the role of finance in the country, attaching importance to the guiding role of scholars and doctors in the people, and attaching importance to the daily life of the people.

But Yuan Shu in the book of the description of this is particularly strong, and even put forward a number of ways to increase finances, he has served as a secretary, for this aspect, is also quite experienced, he attaches great importance to overseas, that the future of the Han Dynasty, must be overseas, and for scholars, he also put forward preferential policies, he believes that scholars as the pillars of the country, if they are less profitable, let them not be reused, the country will definitely have problems.

This point is mixed by everyone.

However, the scholars enjoy it very much, after all, they are the beneficiaries, therefore, this book is very touted, and the other is the life of the people, in today's day, the officials are not concerned about the lives of the people, but their own political achievements, whether it is to build water conservancy, or to cultivate agriculture and mulberry, they are focused on and political achievements, want to make a big cause, Yuan Shu is very disgusted with this kind of behavior, he believes that the greatest achievement of the officials is to make the people under the rule live richly, not forced by hunger and cold.

As soon as this book came out, the title of Yuan Zi immediately appeared, and Yuan Zi, like many virtuous ministers, entered the Hall of Loyalty.

Under the influence of this book, the ram has risen again, because he did not explain too much about revanchism, so that this book can be accepted by the ministers, before, the ram is because of the intensity of the great revanchism, so that the people often kill officials and kill officials, not treated by the ministers, and now this book is just the right time!!

Yuan Zi's death gradually passed, and everyone's attention was attracted by this book.

However, there are also some people who have never forgotten it.

Just like the prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Mastiff, since the death of Yuan Zi, he stayed in the side courtyard of Yuan Mansion all day long, closed doors, it can be seen that Yuan Zi's death has a huge impact on him, whether it is Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi, they have not been able to persuade him, he has been staying in the house and refusing to come out.

"Madame... I've been there eight times, and Your Highness just won't come out... What can I do? Zhuge Liang said helplessly, Princess Raoyang sat on the bed, with a big belly, her eyes were full of anger, she looked at Zhuge Liang in front of her, and said, "Refuse to come out?" You're coming back?? That's my own nephew!! If you don't go, then I'll go over myself and take him out!! ”

Princess Rao Yang said and was about to get up.

Zhuge Liang was also a little angry, and said: "He is your nephew, is it possible that I don't care about him?" He still hasn't gotten over his pain and won't see me, how can I convince him? You're about to give birth, you don't feel at ease to raise a baby, and you have to walk around!! ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's reprimand, Princess Raoyang glared at him, with tears in her eyes, looked at her abdomen, slapped her palm on her abdomen, and scolded: "It's all to blame on this kid, it's all him!" I can't see my brother, and now I can't even see my nephew, it's all his fault! She scolded, she was going to fight again, Zhuge Liang couldn't stand this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, and said nervously: "Madam, slow, slow, don't do it, I'll go, I'll go!! ”

Zhuge Liang shouted, watched Princess Raoyang stop, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"My little niece, I didn't see it either... Well, now even my nephew..."

"Okay, madam, I'll go, and you don't have to worry about Princess Changling all the time, by next year, Madame will be able to see it..." Zhuge Liang comforted again, and then walked out of the mansion helplessly, he really didn't know how to comfort the prince, he knew in his heart that for the prince, Yuan Shu was more like his father than the Son of Heaven, just like Liu Gong to him, such grief, it was really not easy to come out.

In the past, it took him a full year to let go of that grief and return to Luoyang with Liu Gong's will.

And Liu Mastiff is not very old now, how long will it take for him to get rid of this grief? Zhuge Liang thought, but a little helpless walking on the street, walking, suddenly a person stopped, Zhuge Liang raised his head, it was Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Military Academy, Zhuge Liang hurriedly greeted, Guan Yu dismounted and returned the salute, Zhuge Liang was a little surprised and asked: "Why are you here??" ”

"I took a day off..."Guan Yu opened his mouth and said, "I have something to play Your Majesty..."

Zhuge Liang nodded, his face was a little helpless, Guan Yu asked suspiciously: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so distressed?" But what happened? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The prince's matter... Since the death of Duke Yuan, the prince has stayed in the house all day and no longer goes out, everyone is very worried, and he does not see others...", Zhuge Liang told Liu Mastiff about it, Guan Yu nodded, and asked: "What about the Son of Heaven?" ”

"What can the Son of Heaven do about this? He had also sent Huangmen to pick him up before, but the prince refused to come out, and the Son of Heaven had no choice, and the teacher of the Son of Heaven also died when he was young, and he also understood this grief, so he did not punish him..."Zhuge Liang said, sighing helplessly, but Guan Yu said: "Kong Ming, don't worry, I have a way...", before Zhuge Liang could react, Guan Yu rode away.

Zhuge Liang watched him leave with some surprise, and wanted to go back to the house, but after thinking about it, forget it and go to Yuan's mansion.

Guan Yu rode a horse, galloped all the way, and went directly to the Si Li Captain's Mansion, the Si Li School Captain was located in Luoyang, in the twelfth year of Jianning, Luo Yang became the seat of Si Li, Guan Yu rushed here, did not knock on the door, walked in directly, just walked in, he smelled the foul smell of pungent wine, Guan Yu hurriedly quickened his pace, walked into the study, but there was no one, one by one, and finally saw Hua Xiong in the backyard.

Hua Xiong sat on the ground, snoring and sleeping, surrounded by wine jugs.

Guan Yu was furious, walked to Hua Xiong's side, and kicked it.

Hua Xiong suddenly opened his eyes and sat up staggeringly, exuding a strong smell of alcohol, still drunk in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Captain, don't rush, I'll continue to drink, continue to drink!" He said, looking up, but saw Guan Yu, he frowned, and asked with some doubts: "Changsheng??" When did you die??? ”

Guan Yu ignored him, and suddenly shouted: "Where is Sima Huaxiong of the Northern Army?!! ”

"I'm here!!" Hua Xiong suddenly jumped up and stood up straight, and in an instant, his wine also woke up, his eyes widened, and he looked around, only to breathe a sigh of relief, back then, he was drinking in the barracks, but he was beaten a lot, and suddenly saw Guan Yu in front of him, he shook his head again, "Changsheng??" What are you doing here?? He rubbed his forehead, a little sore, Guan Yu said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, these days have been closed, grieving all day long, I still want you to persuade you, but I didn't think about it, you are also like this..."

"Is there such a thing??" Hua Xiong asked in surprise, and quickly smiled again, and said, "It's okay, I'll go find him... Is he in the Yuan Mansion? ”

Guan Yu nodded, "You'd better clean up, don't make the prince stink... Wash your body..."

"Got it, you go and get busy, and I'll leave this matter to me... I think I can be a good arguer, this matter is not..."Hua Xiong didn't finish speaking, Guan Yu left in a hurry, Hua Xiong shook his head with some disdain, and went to wash, and it didn't take long for him to leave the mansion and go to the Yuan Mansion, this is the first time he went to the Yuan Mansion after Yuan Shu's death, and when he came to the Yuan Mansion, he was not unusual, and there was no sadness on his face.

Zhuge Liang was sitting in the front yard, when he saw Hua Xiong break in, he walked towards the side yard with a big grin, Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up to pay respects, and saw that Zhuge Liang was here, Hua Xiong stopped, "Kong Ming? You're here too?? Why, aren't you very smart on weekdays? Why can't I do it?? When he asked, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer, coughed, and asked with some doubts:

"Captain Hua, why haven't I seen you for half a month?? You don't seem to be there at the funeral either?? ”

"Oh... I was too drunk that day, and I didn't come over," Hua Xiong said.

Zhuge Liang fell into a stupor, if he didn't know Hua Xiong's temperament, I was afraid that I would have to start with him now, Yuan Gong died, you, as a general, if you don't come because of important things, you still go to drink??

Ignoring Zhuge Liang, who was stunned, Hua Xiong walked directly towards the side courtyard, humming a tune, quite elated.

Many servants of the Yuan Mansion held back the anger in their hearts, stared at him coldly, and walked all the way into the side courtyard.
