Therefore, after the news of Sikong Yuan Feng's death spread, hundreds of officials mourned for it, Sikong Yuan Gong, although it was recommended by Wang Fu, but after taking over the position of Wen Ren and becoming an important minister in the country, he made great contributions to his family and country, he continued the foreign trade policy left by Wen Ren Gong, and at the same time, he opened the trade road in the East, and in the absence of Wen Ren Gong, it was he who stabilized the finances of the Han Dynasty.

Although there is some meaning to sit back and enjoy it, but after him, neither Lu Zhi nor Yuan Shu can continue to maintain the original situation, which can show Yuan Feng's ability even more, the same way, the Son of Heaven sent it and showed his respect for him, Yuan Shao, who was far away in Youzhou, also received the news and rushed to Luoyang.

Yuan Feng's death seemed to have dealt a big blow to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu became more and more silent.

Liu Mastiff, as a disciple of Yuan Shu, naturally accompanied the funeral, and Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were the same, although they did not have the name of master and apprentice with Yuan Shu, but they have always studied under Yuan Shu, and they are also half a disciple, so they can't help but accompany Yuan Shu's side, Yuan Shao came very quickly, and in less than a month, he rushed to Luoyang.

He just brought three or four retinues, as well as the eldest son, and hurried to the horse, after entering Luoyang, he got off the horse, walked to the Yuan Mansion, howling and crying, the people who heard the sadness, when he cried and came to the Yuan Mansion, and the calm Yuan Shu, formed two sharp contrasts, Yuan Shu stood aside, frowned, and did not say a word.

And Yuan Shao cried loudly, threw himself in front of Yuan Gong's spiritual seat, and even fainted from crying.

Yuan Shu just looked at him coldly, without a trace of touch.

The servants stepped forward, helped Yuan Shao up, and hurriedly carried him back to the dormitory.

Yuan Shu turned around and left the mourning hall, and Liu Mastiff hurriedly followed, following behind him.

"Master... Yuan Jun fainted.. Why don't we take a look? Liu Mastiff asked in a low voice.

Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "It's just pretending." ”

"Pretending??"

"He is so dizzy, tomorrow, his reputation for filial piety will be spread in Luoyang... I can't say it, he will resign from the official position, keep filial piety for his father, and keep it for three years..."

Yuan Shu continued, but Liu Mastiff frowned.

"Mastiff, in today's world, most of them are mediocre people who value false names, ignoring talents, but staring at those meaningless little things...."Yuan Shu said, it seemed to be a little emotional, "At the beginning, my father passed my brother to my uncle, and after my brother grew up, he kept filial piety for his uncle for three years, and kept filial piety for his aunt for three years, so he became famous all over the world and was valued by everyone..."

"Well..."Liu Mastiff didn't dare to say anything more.

"However, I also understand him, he is the eldest son of the Yuan family, no matter how I scold the mediocre people today, these mediocre people are always the majority, the Yuan family is a big family, as the eldest son, he must be a great filial son, benevolent, loving and filial son.... It's something he can't change..."

"If the eldest son is a maverick, then the family will decline..."Yuan Shu said, and said: "However, this really shouldn't be, now the world, with the crime of unfilial piety, insults Apu, but I don't know that Agui's deeds are times the same as the other... Therefore, in this world, there are many tomboys, hypocrites, greedy for fame, pretending... Led by the wind of the world...."

Listening to Yuan Shu's words, Liu Mastiff's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Yuan Shu turned his head and noticed the change in Liu Mastiff's complexion, he smiled and asked, "Do you know this person Kong Rong?" ”

"Kong Rong?" Liu Mastiff didn't know why Yuan Shu wanted to ask this person, he thought for a moment and asked, "I've heard it from Zhong Da..."

"Well, after this person is a saint, the son of Kong Zhou, the commander of Taishan... This person was originally the fourth son, and there were three elder brothers, so he acted recklessly since he was a child, never took the etiquette in his eyes, and his father didn't care, but his eldest brother Kong Chen and second brother Kong Qian died of illness one after another, and his father began to be a little worried, because the health of the third son Kong Bao was not very good..."

"In order to be able to create momentum for Kong Rong, his father often told others, what did Kong Rong say when he was young, let the pear, know the truth, congratulate his brother, and build momentum for him... At that time, it also amazed many people, this guy is indeed smart, but he is still the same nature, maverick, good at drinking and making friends, his friends, from the old man to the weak crown..."

"His brother, during the reign of Emperor Huan, was killed because of the party's affairs."

"He became the eldest son of the Kong family... However, he was still the same as always, willful and reckless, and after serving as an official, he was still like this, you don't know, when he was inspecting Beihai before, he saw a person, stopped on the road, and wept for his father, and when Kong Rong saw it, he put this person to death, because he felt that this person's face was not sad, just to gain fame, so he wept..."

Liu Mastiff heard this for the first time, and couldn't help but nodded.

"He executed the people for no reason, which angered the then Emperor Xiaokang, and he was not only seized of his official position, but also suffered five years in prison."

After that, he spent his days at home, entertaining friends and confidants, drinking and merrymaking, and before that, he said: What should the father do to the son? As for its original meaning, it is really lustful! The son is also to the mother, and it is also ridiculed? The arm is like a bottle of consignment, and it is out of the bottle. ”

Liu Mastiff gasped and asked in a bit of a panic: "How dare he speak like this, so unfilial, shocking to the world!" Yuan Shu smiled and said, "He is a person who is not bound by the world, why doesn't he dare to say it?" It's just that when he said this, he not only harmed him, but also caused the entire Confucian family to suffer from the criticism of the world... If it weren't for the fact that you were saints, I am afraid that they would have been torn apart..."

"I see."

"That's right, mastiff, you're the eldest son... The eldest son bears much more than the other children, and more often than not, he still has to cater to the mediocrities in this world, these mediocrities will not pay attention to your talents, nor will they look at your merits, they will only judge everyone at will according to their own humble understanding..."

When Yuan Shu finished saying this, he and Liu Mastiff had already arrived at the door of Yuan's mansion.

He looked at Liu Mastiff and asked, "You, do you understand?" ”

Liu Mastiff's face gradually became resolute, he bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "Disciple understands! ”

Yuan Shu turned around and walked into the mansion, Hua Xiong and Guan Yu were waiting in the mansion, seeing Yuan Shu walking in, Hua Xiong grinned and asked, "Is the captain back?" Guan Yu stretched out his hand and pinched the flesh on his waist fiercely, Hua Xiong came to his senses, quickly covered the smile on his face, made a sad face, and asked, "Captain, you are back." ”

Yuan Shu knew his character, didn't care, nodded, and several people accompanied Yuan Shu into the study.

Sitting down one after another, Guan Yu said with some heaviness: "Captain, I haven't been in Luoyang these days, I heard about the old lady's affairs, and I really mourn in my heart, and I hope that the captain can mourn, don't be too sad...", he said a lot, and bowed to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu nodded, and did not reply.

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he sat down and looked at Hua Xiong on the side.

Hua Xiong got up a little helplessly, looked at Yuan Shu, thought for a moment, cleared his throat, and said: "Captain, the old lady is gone, and I am also very sad..." He pondered for a moment and continued, "I still hope that the captain... Section.. Condolences... Man has a death, or a weight with... What's going on? ”

"Tarzan."

"Yes, maybe heavier than Tarzan..."

"Alright, don't talk about it." Yuan Shu looked at him and said, "Take time out and read more books... Changsheng can follow me to cure the ram these days... You're still the same, you don't know a single big word..."

Hua Xiong sat down at this time, looked at Guan Yu on the side, and said with some complaints: "I told you a long time ago, I won't do this, you have to let me come!" ”

He added: "In the old days, the captain told me that when a man dies, he will go to another world, where he will not starve, and he will not be sick... To be honest, for some reason, my knee has been hurting so much lately, and if it weren't for the reluctance to give up you, I would have been..."

"Get out!!"

.....

Staying in the front yard, Hua Xiong stroked his somewhat dark face, and asked with bared teeth, "Why did the captain beat me?" ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, "You bastard, who will you fight if you don't beat you?!" Saying that, Guan Yu seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Also, if you want to go to that world, you can't commit suicide, if you commit suicide, after death, the sky will thunder!" Remember? ”

"I see.." Hua Xiong suddenly realized, and suddenly, he shouted with some sorrow: "It's broken, it's broken!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang Gong is self-judged, and our brothers, do you remember? There are about 40 of our brothers guarding Jiuquan, after they were captured, they all committed suicide, and their bodies were still carried back by me, what should they do?! ”

"You...."Guan Yu wanted to reprimand him, but he couldn't open his mouth, thought for a moment, and said, "They are considered to be killed in battle, which is different." ”

"That's fine... That's good," Hua Xiong grinned again.

Liu Mastiff looked at them quietly, listened carefully, every time he listened to their conversation, Liu Mastiff would always have a little more respect for them in his heart, Huaxiong and these people had never talked about the war in the northwest with Liu Mastiff, nor had they ever boasted of their achievements, but on their bodies, they were covered with scars, which spread from their bodies and spread to their hearts.

"War, so cruel?"

Liu Mastiff asked.

Hua Xiong, who has always been a foul, fell silent, looked at the soldiers around him, and said: "No, we are all lucky, I just lost the three fingers of my left hand, and the lieutenant was only hit by an arrow in the back, and he couldn't be healed, only this guy, very lucky, without the slightest scar.... Weird! Hua Xiong said, looking Guan Yu up and down again.

Guan Yu ignored him, looked at Liu Mastiff, and said, "Your Highness, don't listen to this nonsense... To be able to serve the country, the horse leather shroud is our honor, this guy has no heart and lungs, his words, His Highness doesn't have to take it seriously..."

"Heh, what do you mean to be heartless and lungless??"

"I, Huaxiong, am a sentimental!"

"If you die one day, I'll cry... Hey, what are you doing, what do you want, ah!! ”
