Chapter 16 Gongshanyang's complicity
Lu Zhi stood upright in front of Liu Kuan's coffin for a long time, but the other party was as usual, and did not feel the slightest anger and complaint because the ridiculous dispute of the person in front of him affected his affairs.
In this situation, Lu Zigan was really gloomy and unbearable, so he turned around and walked out.
Outside the Yishe, it was actually not evening at this time, and the afternoon sun was still warm and pleasant, and Gongsun Xun, who had been out of shape before, was also holding a clay bottle containing wine and saying something in public, not noticing that his other teacher sat back in his seat under Lu Fan's slightly nervous gaze.
Listening to the meaning of Gongsun Xun sprinkled there, probably he also knew that drinking again and again in front of the spirit was not in accordance with the etiquette after all, especially among the people present, there were still a few people who theoretically needed to serve filial piety, and filial piety was strictly forbidden to drink. But on the other hand, today is the coffin that came to bid farewell to the elderly Liu Wenhuan in the sea, and everyone does know that Liu Kuan is a good drinker, and at the same time he doesn't care about anything, so it doesn't make sense......
And in the end, Gongsun Xun was still shy, and gave a gag sentence in public: "Therefore, today's matter, if there is virtue, it is worthy of the teacher, if there is a grievance, it will belong to me alone, and I hope you will drink it openly to send Liu Shi to be buried in Hedong." β
Since the general, I don't know if there is a 'tuo' in the secret agitation or leadership, most of the people got up, and then most of them bowed slightly to Gongsun Xun according to their respective identities.
This move can be regarded as an endorsement of Gongsun Xun's arrangement as the person named by Liu Kuan for the funeral. To a certain extent, just as they came out of this banquet and this powerful Fuling out of Luo, it can be regarded as recognizing the political resources accumulated by Liu Wenhuan for decades under his leadership from a certain angle...... From today on, among these people, those who have had dealings with Liu Kuan, those who have received Liu Kuan's kindness, and those who are Liu Kuan's protΓ©gΓ©s, must have special respect for Gongsun Xun.
In other words, this is one of the relics that Liu Kuan gave to Gongsun Xun.
But that's not all.
Because Liu Kuan is Liu Kuan, the funeral is a funeral, and Gongsun Xun is also Gongsun Xun.
As one of the commanders who swept away the Yellow Turban Rebellion, as the old friend of the general He Jin, and as the main force of the former eunuchs, he himself is the sharpest blade in the world that bears the hopes of quite a few people...... He needed to give a clear response to his stay.
"General Wei!" Just when the general was about to speak, another general and Wang Yun stood up solemnly. "I have a question for you."
"Senior Brother Zi, please speak." Gongsun Xun held the corked clay vase and turned to the person in response. "Why should you be so polite between you and me?"
"It was rumored along the way that General Wei would never return when he crossed the river this time...... Is there such a thing? Wang Yun got straight to the point.
"That's true." Gongsun Xun was honest. "I have made up my mind, and this time I will go to Wangwushan in Hedong to deal with the aftermath of Master Liu, and I will go directly to my hometown in western Liaoxi...... The next time I see my brothers, I don't know what year and month it is? β
Although this statement has been spread for a long time, it is not an earth-shattering shock, but from Gongsun Xun's mouth in person, it still made many people stunned.
The world is safe, pay attention to the phase; The world is in danger, pay attention to the will.
This dialogue between Lu Jia and Chen Ping is a political common sense that the elites of the Han family know well, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is not only not stable, but has a tendency to become more and more dangerous, which is also a well-known thing. That being the case, for a person like Gongsun Xun, his every move, advance and retreat will naturally affect people's hearts.
"Why?" Wang Yun paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask bitterly. "Now that the situation is critical, we need General Wei and the general to support the situation together."
"First, Liu had his last words before his death, saying that my morality is shallow and I still need to study and sharpen; The second is that relatives and friends have died repeatedly, and it is difficult to determine one's own heart. Gongsun Xun looked around with the wine bottle and replied slowly. On weekdays, I always like to show good things on my face, but when I encounter sad things, I don't want to show them. In fact, I will not hide it from you, ten days ago, at the ferry crossing of Mengjin on the north bank of the Yellow River, I received the news of the death of three people who were very close to me in one day...... In addition to his mentor, Julu Taishou Guo Dian Guo Junye, who fought side by side in Hebei in the past, and Sima Zhi, Sima Shuyi, a close friend who met in Hanoi, also knew the news of his death that day. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, and all the relatives and acquaintances around me are withering, how can I be indifferent? β
"General Wei, there is a word below." Kong Rong couldn't help but get up and said. "Liu Gong's affairs are not mentioned, the death of Sima Shuyi and Guo Junye is known to everyone in the world, isn't its joint in Luozhong? In this case, General Wei should concentrate on Luoyang instead. β
"Brother Wen Ju is wrong about what he said." Gongsun Xun exhaled a long breath, then looked around and replied in a loud voice. "The death of Uncle and Brother Guo Jun is not in Luoyang, but in Beigong! And this, how could I not know? β
The reaction was very strange, some were pale and quickly bowed their heads, while others were emotional and shouted for a while.
"What General Wei said is very true!" Kong Rong was also an emotional part, he couldn't bear it immediately, and hurriedly asked more questions. "But Wenqi already knows, why, why do you want to go back to your hometown and live in seclusion?"
"Because, I've already been to the North Palace." Gongsun Xun stood in the afternoon sun with the wine bottle in his arms, and couldn't help but reply faintly. "Doesn't Brother Wen Ju know about this? And that's the second reason why I'm leaving. β
There was a moment of silence around.
"What my grandson has done is above board, and there is nothing to say......," Gongsun Xun continued to speak loudly, without the slightest estimate. On the same day, he entered the West Garden to face the saint, and did everything that Uncle Chen Sima was different from Guo Junye, and bluntly told each other that the world was turbulent, all of which were due to the eunuchs' children who were in trouble with the local son of heaven but should not laugh, and asked why my family's huge assets should not also take care of the benefits of the West Garden, I told me bluntly, Gongsun's family has a huge amount of money, but one article and the eunuchs are full of private pockets! β
At this point, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned to a person sitting in a nearby seat: "Cui Gong, five million dollars and three public seats, can you sit on Antai?" I don't know if your younger brother Cui Yu Cui Zizhen, when he died, his family was surrounded by walls, did he envy your change and wealth? β
Everyone looked back at Cui Lie with a complicated expression, and Cui Lie, who had just spent five million dollars to become his boss, was also stunned, and then he was extremely ashamed...... He never imagined that the topic would turn to him, but he didn't know how to deal with it in public!
After all, the matter of buying an official is real, and it is the evil way of the Son of Heaven and the nurse, he really doesn't dare to refute it! Not to mention, Gongsun Xun also moved out of his brother, and when he died, he was so poor that he had nothing in the Han family, Cui Huan! This is something that can't even be argued.
As the third duke, sitting in the middle, but being scrutinized by the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the entire Luoyang like monkeys, Cui Lie's face was red, but he had no choice but to get up and hide his face and flee.
"Princesses."
Seeing that suddenly there was a Situ who fled in the wilderness, many people in the audience were shocked, for fear that the next unlucky person would be himself, but Gongsun Xun didn't care, but just said back to himself. This is the third reason why you have to go...... After returning from the Xiyuan summons in vain, I came back to see the coffin of the teacher, and I swore on the spot that from now on, my Gongsun Xun will never pay a penny to buy an official in the West Garden, and the province will let the eunuchs fill their private pockets, so as not to pollute the virtue of the teacher and the life of the best friend! β
Everyone was finally speechless, or rather, the reason could only be speechless.
"As I said, today you don't have to be restrained to send your teacher in a state of liberation...... General, please have a drink! Saying that, Gongsun Xun no longer paid attention to the two people behind him, but directly pulled out the cork, personally poured a glass of wine for the general He Jin, put the pottery bottle on the other party's case, and turned around to take a new bottle from Han Dang, who was following him.
However, as soon as I received the new wine, I suddenly heard many people behind me sigh again and again, sighing.
Gongsun Xun sighed, sneered again, but suddenly turned his head: "Why are you sighing? β
From where to go down, everyone was silent for a while, and they didn't answer.
"I see." Gongsun Xun sneered more and more. "Do you think that if I even lost my teacher and friend, and was not taken by the Son of Heaven, and was forced to return to my hometown, I must be sad and unbearable at this time?"
Everyone just stared at Gongsun Xun, but they became more and more silent.
"If you want me to say, you think too much!" Gongsun Xun said, but suddenly looked back at the general He Jin. "Did the general bring a sword?"
He Jin didn't know why, but he still took the sword from his waist and handed it to the other party.
Gongsun Xun thanked the other party, and then directly pulled out the sword, this is He Jin's sword, naturally a rare excellent sword, the sunset is gradually falling, and the white blade is flickering, which makes many people directly awe-inspiring, and some people are even afraid.
However, this General Wei held the general's sword, but he just turned around and swung his sword to easily cut the mouth of the clay bottle in Han Dang's hand, but handed the knife to Lou Gui who was on the other side of him, and then took the bottle forward and walked towards Wang Yun.
"Can Senior Brother Zi drink it? This is my family's special liquor, and I have no ambition, so I'm afraid I can't drink it. Gongsun Xun put the cut wine bottle in front of Wang Yun and asked with a straight face, while the surrounding dignitaries didn't dare to speak, just stared at the behavior of the two.
"General Wei cuts the bottle and gives away wine, even if you can't drink it, you have to drink it!" After that, Wang Yun ignored the sharpness of the bottle, got up directly to take the wine, tilted his head and poured it into his throat for a big sip, and then wiped his mouth against each other.
"Good drink!" Gongsun Xun looked at each other and praised loudly, but turned to hold his sword. "Ladies and gentlemen, do you really think that I am disheartened and unbearable this time? I once served my benefactor and drank alcohol before my death, and he had a drunken drink that day, and I remember it very well...... I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone! β
All those present shook in unison.
"I spent all my money today in exchange for Luomei wine, just to deal with Liu Shi's words, in order to inspire!" Gongsun Xun said sharply with his sword. "I'm at peace with you now...... I go today to come back later! Today's parting is for the sake of meeting in the future! Today's retreat is for the sake of tomorrow's advancement! When I go back to my hometown, you don't need to worry that my ambition will be shaken in the slightest, because sooner or later I will come here again, and then I will personally hold the white blade, sweep the court, and outline the Quartet! β
The crowd looked agitated, either pale with fright, or uncontrollable with excitement...... Of course, some people can't help but be terrified.
"Gentlemen." Gongsun Xun's tone suddenly softened. "On the contrary, what I am worried about is that the eunuchs are powerful, and the princes will be like Cui Lie when they are in Luozhong, and they will gradually give birth to the meaning of reluctance...... Therefore, I want to cut the bottle with a sword, please drink a glass of wine, and don't forget the ambition in your heart! β
After that, Gongsun Xunfu cut the bottle with a sword again, but handed it to Kong Wenju on Wang Yun's side, Kong Rong raised his head and drank, but suddenly hugged the bottle to send a song, which caused a lot of noise around him, and the banquet was lively for a while.
After Kong Wenju, Gongsun Xun ignored Yuan Kui, but instead led Lou Gui, Han Dang, and a long line of attendants holding bottles, and came directly to Yuan Shao with a complicated expression, cutting the bottle and toasting: "Brother Benchu, Luo Zhongshi will rely on you a lot in the next few years." β
Yuan Benchu glanced at Gongsun Xun seriously, didn't say a word, and actually drank it all in one bottle.
The next Yuan Shu was not to be outdone, and he also drank it all in his uncle's worries.
Later, Gongsun Xunfu came to Liu Yan again and said sincerely: "Brother Junlang, the world is turbulent, how can you think of retreating and not thinking about advancing?" In this world, if you don't fight, where will there be peace? β
Liu Yan was extremely embarrassed, so he could only get up and thank the other party: "Wen Qi's arrogance is a hundred times better than me." β
Then, after taking a sip, he reluctantly put the bottle down.
Gongsun Xun shook his head and left, but Liu Fan, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but take his father's bottle of wine, raised his head and poured a breath, but he was choked again.
"Brother Jingsheng." Gongsun Xunfu came to Liu Biao again to cut the bottle. "Although it is the first time we have met, I have heard of your name for a long time, and the party has been in the party for many years, is your ambition still there?"
"Enough for a bottle of wine." Liu Biao was gentle and elegant, got up and took the wine, took a sip, and then put it on the table in front of him, and raised his head to promise. "General Wei will go by himself, I will drink this bottle of wine until dawn."
Gongsun Xun didn't care, turned around and came to Liu Yu at his side.
"How fierce is General Wei's momentum?" Liu Yu took the wine, and was choked on a sip, and he smiled bitterly. "It is to return to the hometown and live in seclusion, and it is also like a strong man going on an expedition. I ......"
"On that day, Liu Gong was the assassin of Youzhou, although that fate was not formed, but I wrote down that kindness." Gongsun Xun was calm. "Although my grandson is strong, he is not a forgetful person, so Liu Gong, you can drink it slowly."
Liu Yu got up to send him off.
The next one is Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's figure is getting fatter, and he doesn't have a confidant to accompany him when he sits there, I don't know if he can't accommodate others in a few cases or if the people around him can't get on the stage, but no matter what, he is still calm.
He saw Gongsun Xun coming, but he was overjoyed: "Wen Qi! There are so many dignitaries here, but you came to look for me, it seems that you are really a nostalgic person, and I am especially grateful, but there is only one thing...... It is a great ambition to cut a bottle, but how can you and I use the general's sword? β
"What Dong Gong said is very true." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing, but he pulled out the broken blade directly from his waist. "This knife was given by Dong Gong, and he has been with him for ten years, and he has fought countless battles and killed countless people...... Cutting bottles for others is still bloody, but how can Dong Gong dislike blood? β
Dong Zhuo heard this, and saw that the other party cut the bottle with a broken blade, and then gave it away, he also laughed, and when he came up, he drank more than once, and only after he was angry did he wipe his mouth and said: "The wine that Wenqi's daughter put is really mellow." In fact, you can reassure me, for my ambition is like this thousand gin, and I have not fallen for half of it. Since the Xiliang War, I will do my best to quell the rebellion for the country and succeed in the industry! β
"With such words, you can have another bottle." Gongsun Xun's response was exceptionally simple.
Crossing Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Xunfu came to Lu Bu again: "Can the tiger drink?" β
Lu Bu hurriedly got up: "Given by General Wei, why can't you drink it?" β
Gongsun Xun had the heart to say a few more words, but found that he was finally speechless...... Because of his own blind tossing, the yellow scarf has emerged, and now he has become a captain of the Northern Military Academy.
It must be known that the captain of the Northern Military Academy was originally a noble official position, but in recent years, there have been frequent wars, and there are generals, left and right car generals, Wei generals and a bunch of lieutenant generals, which has evolved into a real position. It's really hard to say what will happen in the future.
In that case, I can only say nothing.
After that, it was Xu Rong.
When Xu Bojin saw the other party coming, he took a long breath, but he simply avoided the table and bowed down, calling himself a prince.
"You're in Luozhong, don't think too much, don't make trouble, and don't do it yourself." Gongsun Xun came up and blocked the other party. "As a whole for the Northern Army, you will do as ...... I'll have to come back to the hub sooner or later, and I'll wait for my return. β
Xu Rong wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he just kowtowed, and then took the bottle to drink.
So far, Gongsun Xun has already turned around, but if you look closely, there are still two people who have to give wine, but these two people can't help but be embarrassed to see each other at this time...... However, after thinking about it, he had no choice but to shake his head slightly and face forward.
"Father-in-law!" Gongsun Xun personally held the wine for Zhao Bao. "I know that you were quite dissatisfied with me for acting on your own initiative, but you see that now this banquet seems to be a situation where the eunuchs are not at odds...... It is true that the old ways are no longer viable. β
"I'm mad at you going home." Zhao Bao sighed. "It's angry that you don't tell me in detail, if you had already said that Sima Zhi, who was dead, and you Xiyuan faced the saint, how could I be angry? In the past, he only wanted to be loyal to the king and serve the country, but now he has to deal with so many things...... I'm embarrassed too! β
Gongsun Xun bowed his head and was silent.
"Well, you're still young, and you'll have to come back sooner or later. And it's a good thing to go back to your hometown for a few years, so you might as well take care of your children while studying. Saying that, Zhao Bao took the wine bottle and poured himself a glass. As for me, you can rest assured...... Although I am sometimes a little soft-hearted, I will not lose the festival after all. β
Gongsun Xun bowed and retreated, turned around and walked towards Lu Zhi, where Lu Fan saw clearly, immediately abandoned his position and hurriedly followed.
"Teacher." Gongsun Xun wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he could only hold a few bottles of wine. "I've never heard you get drunk in my life, but being drunk is not necessarily a good thing."
Lu Zhi looked at his student, his expression did not move, he was silent, but bowed slightly.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but exhale, the other party was not angry, so he didn't need to turn around and leave...... said a thousand ways and ten thousand, today's matter, or his grandson Xun is a little too much. After all, whether it was Lu Zhi or Gongsun Xun, even Lu Fan, who was present at the time, understood that with Liu Kuan's character, how could he talk about others in his suicide note? Those words were just something vented by Gongsun Xun's resentment and gaffe.
Therefore, if Lu Zhi is unwilling to bow his head, Gongsun Xun doesn't know how to deal with it...... But after tonight, the teacher and student will be separated for a few more years.
After a bad night, everyone went home drunk.
It was Lu Zi who drank a lot of dry wine, and several bottles of spirits never got drunk, and he couldn't help but smoke, and finally got into the car of his brother-in-law Yuan Kui and passed out.
And in the early morning of the second day, when the sky was light, Gongsun Xun did not say goodbye to everyone, but just escorted the coffin honor guard onto the boat with Liu Song, and went against the current with his henchmen.
At this time, the funeral of the late Taiwei Liu Kuan came to an end in Luozhong, and the next burial in Hedong had nothing to do with everyone.
At the ferry port on the south bank of Mengjin, Yuan Benchu and a few sober people stayed up all night waiting until now, and then stood in the morning sun to see each other from afar, seeing the boat gradually moving away, then turned around and left.
As Liu Kuan's protΓ©gΓ© before, Xu You, who was wearing filial piety clothes to help take care of the funeral, hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't help but be shocked...... Because after Yuan Shao turned around, his face was already pale, and he could even be said to be angry.
"What was this in the first place?" After getting in the car, Xu You hurriedly asked.
"I misread Gongsun Xun!" Yuan Shao laughed angrily. "I thought he was the master of the Northland, but I didn't expect him to have big ambitions! In the future, taking advantage of the Luoyang center, it must be suppressed and lured! β
Xu You was confused: "What is this?" How can I not understand? β
"Of course you don't understand." Yuan Shao continued to sneer. "Only I understand today, after all...... Ziyuan, didn't you notice that his behavior today is similar to mine?! β
Xu You thought slightly, and then froze.
ββββββ I am the dividing line of this complicityββββββ
Taizu swore not to bribe Xiyuan with Sima Zhishi, and returned to his hometown with his resignation, and everyone comforted each other. Yuan Shao is on the side, also strong, and returned, and dried in the road. The left and right henchmen interrogated, and Shao said: 'I have been doing it for a long time to avoid disasters and raise hopes, so he also has great ambitions. The world is in turmoil, and those who will compete with me for glory are not this generation? βThe Book of New Swallows. Volume XXVI. The first in the family
