Chapter 17: How the Master Stays
In April, at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, the Yellow River roared like thunder, and the Wei general Gongsun Xun was leading a group of staff to look at the river at the small ferry at the bottom of the mountain and sigh.
"Ban Gu called the big river the Yellow River in the Book of Han, and I still don't think so." Xi Zhong sighed with emotion. "But I don't want to be different from Hanoi and Hedong, the water of this river is so yellow and turbid, it can be seen that I have seen less."
"You really don't know much." Lou Gui next to him couldn't help but twist his beard and laughed. "Jingzhao has a clear distinction over there, and there is a desert green space across the river in the clouds in the north, and when you go to Liaoxi with our prince this time, you can't say that you have to see the grand scenery of the river flowing into the sea with your own eyes, then it is called the unique scenery of the Haihe River!"
"The rolling river is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Gongsun Xun, who was wearing a brocade cloak, stood by the river for a long time, and he also sighed indiscriminately for a while. "But no matter what the scenery of the rivers and mountains in front of us is, we have to leave after all."
"Didn't Wen Qi say it, sooner or later she will come back." Lu Fan persuaded him reluctantly. "Don't think too much."
"I'm not nostalgic for the enemy of Henan, but I want to apologize to a few of you." Gongsun Xun looked back and smiled awkwardly. "After all, this time I insisted on going my own way, and I didn't even discuss it with you......
"What did the prince say?" Lou Gui hurriedly explained. "There was a theory of 'three hidden' before, and this time you have also suffered a series of accidents, and your mind is turbulent, how can we not understand?"
Not only Lou Gui, but also Lu Fan and others gave up one after another, as if they didn't dare to bear Gongsun Xun's apology.
Gongsun Xun shook his head and smiled: "I remember when Zibo was weak, a stinky mouth was unbearable, but now it has been polished smooth!" β
The crowd laughed louder and louder.
In this way, everyone laughed for a while, and saw that Wei Yue also shouted from the small ferry, signaling that the boat was ready, and Gongsun Xun did not delay any longer, and directly looked back at Liu Kuan's tomb in the mountain, and went down the mountain to board the boat.
In other words, as far as Gongsun Xun is concerned, the funeral of Liu Kuan and his wife in Hedong can be done simply, and it can be complicated.
In other words, it's very resilient.
If you really want to hurry up and go to the place to bury the teacher and his wife, you can naturally leave directly, and the rest of the chores will be handed over to the real filial son Liu Song, anyway, the latter will be here for three years.
But to say slowly, it is not unreasonable, at least Liu Kuan's inscription will take time to erect...... What needs to be written and transcribed by Cai Bojiao himself, and then the text sent by the fast horse from Zhao State, and then the stonemasons carefully hammered and burned it, and finally the donations made by the protΓ©gΓ©s and deceased officials to erect the monument were recorded on the back...... and so on.
It's a waste of time.
As far as the immediate situation is concerned, Gongsun Xun obviously chose the latter particularly long way - he waited for more than 20 days under the remote Wangwu Mountain in Hedong, and watched the inscription be engraved, so he said goodbye to Liu Song and prepared to return to his hometown to live in seclusion.
This is not just because they want to show a little affection for their deceased teacher, after all, whether it is Liu Wenhuan or Gongsun Xun under Jiuquan, they are not people who care about this form.
In fact, Gongsun Xun did this, more because he wanted to wait for information and see the reaction of the Son of Heaven.
You must know that the toss at Mengjin Ferry, the Son of Heaven and the eunuchs have no reason not to know, and even, Zhonghuangmen Jian Shuo simply took more than a dozen tiger soldiers to escort the coffin of Liu Kuan and his wife all the way to the foot of Wangwu Mountain and never left.
But now it seems that whether it is because he feels that it doesn't matter or gives face to the deceased Liu Kuan, or what role He Jin played, anyway, the Son of Heaven pinched his nose and admitted it after all, and did not send a small yellow gate to collect Gongsun Xun's General Wei seal, nor did he say that he would be cut off, what county marquis became a township marquis or something like that. And Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others also did not react, it seemed that compared with the fierce words of the ferry that day, Gongsun Xun's departure was more important to them.
In other words, at this moment, Gongsun Xun finally preserved the title of General Wei and the title of Marquis of Ji, and returned to Youzhou with a high political posture.
Gongsun Xun and the others' boats went first, and then the tall Zhonghuangmen Jian Shuo Fang led a dozen tiger soldiers down the mountain from behind to board the boat, but they were ready to cross directly to the Jingzhao area on the other side of the river, and then return to Luoyang by land...... Obviously, he wanted to stay away from this general Wei who opened his mouth to punish the eunuch and killed the eunuch with his mouth closed, and the two sides of the province responded to each other.
However, when he got on the ship, this henchman of the Son of Heaven was rarely stunned, because he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the general Gongsun Xun actually left him half a bottle of Amway spirits cut by a knife at the bow of the ship.
Jian Shuo stood stunned for a long time, then without saying a word, he stepped forward to hold the bottle and took a sip, and then, with a long sigh, he threw the wine bottle in his hand into the Yellow River, but urged his subordinates to move quickly.
On the other side, Gongsun Xun went down the river and arrived in Hanoi in only half a day. And here, he had to stop for a while, because he still needed to make a start for his life, which had been rushing for months.
"My teacher likes to drink, and I don't know what my uncle likes." Gongsun Xun left the ancestral tomb of the Sima family on the outskirts of Wen County accompanied by everyone, but he was calm and plain enough. "I thought that he liked to be a teacher, and if he didn't become an official, I would build a public school in Hanoi and use him as a sacrificial wine. Later, when he heard that he was leaving, he was going to give him a 10,000-volume scroll printed from the collection of books in Cai Bojiao's house as a token of appreciation. But now that he has passed away suddenly, I am also going north to Liaoxi, and everything can only be stopped...... Sima Lang! β
"Prince." Sima Lang immediately stepped forward and saluted, and his behavior seemed to be much calmer.
"I have already asked people to prepare these 10,000 volumes, and they can be sent from Yecheng in ten days, so I will give them to your Sima clan for safekeeping." Gongsun Xun casually arranged. "No one can be hindered from borrowing books, rich or poor, rich or poor...... Don't fall into the name of your uncle easily. β
"Lang obeys the teachings." Sima Lang said as he leaned down and bowed.
At this point, Gongsun Xun bowed slightly, turned around and looked at the many local officials in Hanoi who followed behind him, of course, there were some Wei generals who had been recruited and requisitioned, and they also continued to explain: "The situation is not good, the princes of Hanoi may as well do their best to serve their duties and carefully help the new Taishou to stabilize the situation." As for the subordinates I have set up in the local area, it was originally to quell the bandits in Hanoi, but now that I am ready to return to my hometown to study, it is not good to force you to waste your time in the scenes...... I have already written a letter of recommendation to you, and there are countless ministers of Luozhong, and I have some face, and I will definitely not miss your future. β
From Chang Lin down, everyone didn't say much, but just stepped forward to thank and accept the letter of recommendation, and that's it.
Gongsun Xun had a lot of helplessness in his heart, in fact, why didn't he want to attract these talents to go together? It's just that he also knows that his acquaintance with these people is too short, and it is a little ridiculous to call the righteousness of the monarch and the minister.
Moreover, the rules of the officialdom of the Han Dynasty have always been infinite, and they have always been respected, but there is no mandatory lower limit...... In other words, these subordinates, even if they are county officials, as long as they want to go to Liaoxi with Gongsun Xun, an empty general, it is okay, and they will definitely be praised as righteous soldiers, but if they don't go, even if they are private ministers, in fact, no one will blame them.
In fact, the previously unknown Zao Yi did not say a word, always accompanied him, and offered to return to Liaoxi together at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, which had already made Gongsun Xun very grateful.
In this way, Gongsun Xun felt a lot of helplessness in his heart, but he always showed disdain, directly said goodbye to these people, and hurriedly set off, met the convoy of his family, and slowly continued to go north.
Along the way, he passed through Huai County without entering, and came directly to Chaoge, where Guan Yu was stationed, before he was ready to enter the city to rest. And here, this is the place where Gongsun Xunyi is stationed, according to the plan, he is going to gather 500 righteous servants here, and then set off to return north together.
However, at the place where Yicong was stationed, Gongsun Xun saw several unexpected people.
"I've seen General Wei!" In the military camp outside Chaoge City, Chang Lin flashed out from behind Guan Yu, his face was as usual, and he only bowed his hand slightly. "I heard that the general will return to Liaoxi to study in seclusion, Lin has a little talent to learn, and he specially recommends himself to read with him, and the existing recommendation book is here...... I just abandoned my family and followed, but I lost my land, and I hoped that the general would give me two liters of corn every day to support my wife. β
As he spoke, Guan Yu next to him proudly forwarded the letter of recommendation given by Gongsun Xun for Chang Lin.
Gongsun Xun was overjoyed and immediately lost his laughter, and Chang Lin, who was pretending, also shook his head with a smile.
In other words, Gongsun Xun didn't know where he was, this was Chang Lin worried that he had invited himself to accompany him in Wen County before, and he had the feeling of inviting names to coerce others, so he calmly accepted the recommendation, and then rode lightly and waited in front...... Such a demeanor is really the behavior of a proud gentleman.
"Prince."
Just after Gongsun Xun accepted Chang Lin's recommendation, there was actually another person who returned the recommendation letter immediately after, and Gongsun Xun was obviously stunned when he saw this person, and then sighed again and again in his heart.
It turned out that it was followed by Han Hao and Han Yuanhe.
In all fairness, although Chang Lin is overjoyed to meet here, from the perspective of Gongsun Xun's mentality, it can only be said to be unexpected. After all, this person's virtues, talents, and personality are all first-class, and although Gongsun Xun has only been under the curtain for a few months, he stands out like a cone in the bag, and can be called the first of Hanoi's scholars.
He can come, but it gives people the feeling that this is Chang Bohuai.
But what about Han Hao? Although Sima Zhi said before his death, he said that Han Hao was the most outstanding one among Hao Meng, Fang Yue and others, and he was not an ordinary martial artist. But before he was in Hanoi administration, Gongsun Xun really didn't see the excellence of this Han Hao.
In terms of martial arts, that Hao Meng is worthy of being a strong general under Lu Bu in another time and space, with good riding and shooting, and quite brave; In terms of reputation, in fact, Fang Yue has a higher family background; As for Han Hao, he seems to be the kind sandwiched between the two, he is not prominent, his name is not significant, and he is not good at words, and he has been together for a short time, so he was quickly ignored by Gongsun Xun.
But today, when Gongsun Xun abandoned his post and returned to his hometown, most people in Hanoi were either worried about wasting time and delaying their future, or they felt that Liaoxi was too far away and fearful, so they fell silent. And it is in this silence that his people stand out...... Doesn't this show that Sima Zhi looked at people in the past?
Han Hao, Han Yuan's heir, is indeed not a martial artist, but a loyal and brave person entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Back in front of him, Gongsun Xun knew it in his heart, but he didn't say much, just took the letter of recommendation, and directly ordered: "There are more and more righteous people, and there are many bandits along the way. β
Han Hao was not good at words, and he only said yes in the scrutinizing or surprised eyes of everyone, and then stood behind Han Dang.
"Prince." Just when Gongsun Xun was in the right mood, Guan Yu next to him couldn't bear it. "Although Yu is not talented, he is not a person who covets fame, and he is not a person who is a county magistrate of Qianshi, but he has not taken it seriously? I am willing to abandon my post and return to Liaoxi with the prince. β
Gongsun Xun glanced at Guan Yu, but he smiled and did not say anything, but led the crowd directly into the camp.
Guan Yu was helpless and wanted to chase in, but Lu Fan, who deliberately stopped here, suddenly stepped forward to stop him: "What kind of person is Yun Chang, why is he suspicious of the prince?" β
Guan Yu immediately looked at each other: "What is Changshi?" As usual, Han and Han, but they have been with the prince for a few months, and they also know the righteousness of guarding the monarch and ministers, why do I want to abandon my post and become suspicious of the prince and marquis? β
"Yun Chang is not thoughtful." Lu Fan said. "Chang and Han have never entered the house above their official careers, and they have followed the prince for a short time, which is why they have to follow each other specifically to show their determination. But what about you? You have been with you since Handan, with the birth and death of the prince, you can be called the first confidant under the command of the prince, the relationship between the two of you has long been as strong as iron, so you have to deliberately follow each other, what do you want? Could it be that if you stay here and don't obey the prince for a few years, you will forget the kindness of the prince? β
Guan Yu was speechless for a while.
"Yun Chang listens to me." Lu Ziheng stepped forward and persuaded with a straight face. "The world is in danger, and the prince's return to seclusion this time is to come back in the future to clear the world, and it is not a long time to return. As a person who is a prince and a prince, you should stay outside to respond when necessary, so that you can be helpful to the prince. And now, the prince has already written to you and you still have the Sutra, as well as all the people, let you do your job, if you have to abandon your post to follow, not only embarrass these people, but also affect the reputation of the prince, make people feel that the prince is a person with a small belly, and you are suspicious...... Do you say, "Is this what a righteous man should do?" β
Guan Yu still kept silent.
Lu Fan knew his personality and knew that the other party listened to it, but it was just because of his personality, and he would never admit his mistake easily...... So he turned to each other and went into the camp.
ββββI'm the dividing line to go and stay for myselfββββ
