Chapter 6 Old Favors Are Hard to Accept as Words Are Spoken

Wang Ling saw Gongsun Xun smiling and silent, but he regrouped and asked again: "What does the envoy say about this?!" General Wei's exploits are known to the world! ”

"I'm not good at words, it's just the truth." Lu Su calmly replied. "General Wei's exploits and kindness are known to everyone in the world, but at the time of the chaos, it was not General Wei who suppressed Huainan and brought Huainan back to stability and resumed production, but our Liu Yuzhou; At that time, in Tuntian and northern Henan, it was not General Wei but Cao Fenwu who starved to death in the Central Plains; To drive out the scourge of Yuan Shu in the Central Plains, it may be General Wei who played the banner, but it was the late grandson Po who carried the sword in front of the battle; In the past two years, the people of the Central Plains have been able to communicate with each other, and all parts of the country can make business travel divergence, and it is Cao Fenwu and my family Liu Yuzhou to establish Nanyang together...... These things are just out there, are they fake? ”

Wang Ling was speechless for a while, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he also had to admit the sincerity and truth in the other party's words. Even the many other ministers, scholars, and talented students on the stage are also a little different, and Sima Yi and Wang Cang are even more thoughtful.

"This Wang County Order, you are the first in a state's political achievements, and you must know the thoughts and understandings of the people below." Seeing this, Lu Zijing continued to speak slowly. "The world has been in turmoil for so long, and for ordinary people, the greatest kindness added to them is to be able to avoid war, to be able to eat, to be able to produce with peace of mind, in short, to be able to live! At this time, the greatest kindness added to them is to be able to 'live', and the rest is not worth mentioning...... And the Central Plains has been in turmoil for ten years, as far as I know, except for the Yingchuan area, there are still people who remember that General Wei went there to level the yellow scarf, so they are a little grateful, but few people in the rest of the places know who General Wei is! I know the title of General Wei from some places, but I don't necessarily know who this person is! ”

Everyone on the stage had different expressions, but Wang Ling became more and more flustered, because he knew that what Lu Su said might be true, and the people of the Central Plains really wouldn't be grateful to Gongsun Xun. In fact, he instinctively looked back at Jiang Gan, who had just met and was born in Huainan, to ask for help, but found that the other party had been bowing his head and being silent, as if he had some scruples in his heart.

In other words, Jiang Gan, who was born in Huainan, probably understood in his heart that Lu Su was telling the truth.

Not only that, but although Wang Cang, who had been listed before, was indignant, he was also a little anxious...... Wang Cang, who has been raised in front of Gongsun Auntie for several years after losing his father, originally wanted to say something like epidemic prevention, education, and system, but Lu Su nailed the great 'kindness' of 'living people' from the perspective of the low-level people, and he was really hard to refute for a while.

In fact, not only Wang Cang, but also many figures on the stage at this time were also thoughtful, because in a sense, in the troubled times, it is indeed the world that is big, and it is not as big as the 'living people'...... No matter how much you can fight and kill, you can't compare to a living...... It cannot be said that the living are worse than the murderers, what is that?

And if you look at it from this point of view, Liu Bei and Cao Cao do have deep roots in the Central Plains and win the hearts of the people, and Gongsun Xun is indeed not worth mentioning - the latter can also live, but he lives as the people of Hebei and Sanfu Kyushu, which Lu Su did not deny.

"In my opinion, the words of the messenger are all truthful." Just when he fell into the general on the stage for a while, on the other side of Wang Ling's side, the handsome Sima Yi suddenly stepped forward and said amazingly. "As far as the people of the Central Plains are concerned, only Cao Fenwu and Liu Yuzhou are the heroes of the time, and General Wei is not worth mentioning...... But because the people below are in chaos, they only talk about their personal senses, and a figure like the messenger who compares himself to Deng Yu also adheres to this path and can't see the overall situation clearly, isn't it ridiculous? ”

Lu Su was speechless...... He wanted to say that he had never compared himself to 'Deng Yu', but at this time, Gongsun Xun was pretending to watch the sunset on his side, and it seemed boring to refute this.

As a result, his face did not change, and he did not pay attention to it because the other party had not yet been crowned, but slightly bowed his hand to ask for advice: "Please make a little mention of Hebei Mingjing." ”

Sima Yi smiled and replied: "In fact, how dare you mention Huainan Yingjie in the lower district?" It's just that there is a question in the throat, and if you don't ask it, you will be depressed, and the good mood of having the honor to visit the stage today will be gone; And when he asked it, he was afraid of embarrassing the envoy, but it ruined the envoy's good mood today. ”

"It doesn't matter." Lu Su hurriedly shook his head, and his heart became more and more speechless...... In this situation, do you still expect to be as happy as a relative?

"Excuse me, messenger." Seeing this, Sima Yi suddenly turned his hand to each other. "What you say is true...... However, Liu Yuzhou was able to show kindness to the people of Huainan, wasn't it because of General Wei's kindness that he was inflicted on him? If there is no general Wei, can Liu Yuzhou be Liu Yuzhou? As far as the people are concerned, those who live are great heroes and heroes, so who is General Wei, who dares to ask Liu Yuzhou who makes him a hero today? ! Liu Yuzhou knows that words must be called my brother, and deeds must be better than my brother, why did he come to the envoy, but it was General Wei who had no kindness to Huainan? ”

Lu Su froze suddenly.

"That's a good point!" On the side, Wang Ling also came to his senses. "What a quibble the messenger is! If there is no general Wei to ask Dong Gongcheng, how can Liu Yuzhou and Cao Fenwu calmly divide the place? If General Wu Wei gave him an official title, how could Liu Yuzhou have to be a matter of the Central Plains? If there is no general Wei to pacify Yuan Shao, how can he come to the Central Plains to calmly attack Yuan Shu? Wang Ling asked questions repeatedly, and it was difficult to hide his disdain in the end. He is known as Huainan Yingjie, and he compares himself to Deng Yu, but there are only Huainan, Central Plains, Hebei, and Sanfu in his eyes, but don't you know that these are all a corner of the world? Deng Yuzuo Guangwu has become a matter of the world, is he a narrow-minded person who only has Nanyang in his eyes? ”

Lu Su was just about to argue again, but Wang Cang also reacted, and immediately stepped forward and asked: "It is precisely this reason, the envoy keeps saying that the Central Plains, Huainan and Huainan, are actually just local postures, centrifugal and detached, and the so-called local selfish interests and regard the world as nothing...... In this way, if you deny General Wei, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? ”

"Actually, the two royal brothers don't have to be so indignant." Sima Yi suddenly laughed again. "Didn't you hear that just now? This Huainan Deng Yu had few ambitions, and at that time, he sold his house and divided his wealth, as if he was ambitious and intended to do great things...... This kind of outstanding person, where would he not know the difference between the world and the central field? Where can you be narrow-minded? It is clear that he feels that the world is in chaos, and at the right time, a heroic character like him can divide the world for his own ambitions......" At this point, Sima Yi bowed sideways to the people behind him, and only then did he point his finger at it, sneering unbearable. In other words, the world that this wants is the world where Liu Yuzhou is the Guangwu affair and he is the world of Deng Yu. As for us, Hebei and Sanfu, even if we follow General Wei in the troubled times to maintain the situation and pacify the world, how can they appreciate it? ”

Lu Su showed off his inner and outer Confucianism, and at this time he was more patient than possible, and his person finally changed color and scolded sharply: "The world is the world of the Han family!" Liu Yuzhou can't do it, can General Wei do it?! What is it to stop at Liu Yuzhou and ignore General Wei as narrow-minded and ambitious, and what is it to stop at General Wei and ignore the Son of Heaven in Chang'an? Such as the Wang County Order, although you are a seven-grade position, don't you also wear a thousand stone seal ribbon to show the body of Hanchen? ”

Sima Yi froze in place, and it was not good for that hand to continue to point, but he didn't dare to put it back easily, but he couldn't help but sweat on his back with Wang Ling and Wang Can...... After all, the three of them are young, and they only care about the battle of words, but they forget that in the end, this kind of topic will sooner or later be extended to this great dispute and taboo!

And General Wei himself is still looking at the Zhangshui from the side by the railing!

For a while, as all the ministers on the stage turned to Gongsun Xun, Lu Su also felt embarrassed...... In the final analysis, in the end, he moved out of the Son of Heaven in fact, he himself was poor in words, and as a messenger of one party, following a county order and two young men with tied hair to fight like this, it is to make the other party also poor in words, so what is there to praise?

What's more, General Wei is still on his side.

When the sunset came to the end, Gongsun Xun, who had been watching the scenery since he didn't know when, turned a deaf ear to him, but quietly watched the sunset over the Zhanghe River without saying a word.

After a long time, as the sun set in early autumn, the last obvious sun was left with only a cloud remaining.

"Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, the autumn water is the same color as the sky, the fishing boat sings at night, and the shore of the poor Zhangshui sounds; The geese were frightened and warm, and the sound broke the pool of the copper sparrow. Gongsun Xun suddenly opened his mouth and chanted slowly, but it moved everyone on the Tongque Stage. Poor in the middle of the sky, extremely entertaining in the leisure day. The sky is high and the earth is high, and the universe is infinite; Happiness and sorrow come, and there are many things to know the void. Looking at Chang'an in the sun, the river Luo in the clouds. The terrain is extremely deep in the south, too high and far away. It is difficult to cross the mountain, who is sad and lost? When we meet in Pingshui, we are all guests from other places......"

At this point, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned around: "Gentlemen, are these sentences good?" ”

"Excellent!" Most people were still stunned, but Wang Cang blurted out. "Words of the world! It can be polished a little to become a peerless article! ”

"Excellent for literature." Gongsun Xun looked at Wang Cang and slowly bowed his head. "But I'm a general, what's the use of having such a good resignation? There is another article......"

Everyone was stunned.

"If the rain is raining, it will not open for a month, the wind will howl angrily, and the turbid waves will be emptied; The sun and stars are hidden, and the mountains are hidden; Business travel is not good, and the tree is devastated; In the twilight, the tiger roars and the ape cries. On this stage, there are those who go to the country and cherish their hometown, are worried and fearful, full of gloom, and feel extremely sad. Gongsun Xun blurted out, as if it was not an essay, but a recitation. To Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is up and down, and the sky is blue; Sand gulls fly and gather, brocade scales swim; Shore Zhi Tinglan, lush green. And or the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, the still shadow is sinking, and the fishing songs answer each other, what a joy is this! On this stage, there is a relaxed heart, spoiled and humiliated, and the wine is in the wind, and it is joyful. ”

"It's also a wonderful article!" Wang Cang said earnestly. "But it's really a little inferior to the words of Luoxia and the lonely bird flying together before......"

"It's not over yet." Gongsun Xun turned his back to the sunset behind him, looking at the many important ministers and talents in front of him, his face expressionless. "Whew! To taste the heart of the ancient benevolence, or the difference between the two, what is it? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; The height of the temple is worried about the people; Far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about it. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be? It must be said, 'The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy'. Belch! Weisi people, who am I with? ”

The wind gusted on the stage, and the voices of farmers, craftsmen, and merchants who hurried home in the distance could be heard in the distance, but there was a sense of silence that could hear the movement even if a needle fell...... This is because many people on the stage are silent at this time, but they are in high spirits.

"Gentlemen." Gongsun Xun is in charge. "I didn't do either of these articles...... I just heard it from my mother, the former has beautiful words, which can be said to be the extreme, and you can know what literature is when you read it and read it; And the latter may be a little hollow, but as soon as 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world' comes out, who has the heart of the world is not shaken? Zijing! ”

"The minister is here...... Shame on you! Lu Su hurriedly leaned over to salute.

"You're ashamed, but you're ashamed to be in the wrong place." Gongsun Xun stepped forward and said. "There are also Yanyun, Ah Cang, and Ah Yi, what are the four of you talking about the Huainan Central Plains here, but you don't know what the world is...... It's just going around in the national context! And the country and the world are not the same thing at all! ”

"Please give me advice!" Sima Yi couldn't help but be excited when he heard the other party call him 'Ah Yi', and he actually had the same treatment as Wang Cang, who was raised in General Wei's mansion.

"What is the country? The country is the hegemony of a family and a surname, and it is the monarch, the law, the army, the household registration, and the territory. What is the world is the general name of all kinds in the four seas and universes, the inheritance of China, the chapter of civilization, the people and everything, and the hearts of the folk people, but not only that. At this point, Gongsun Xun's speed of speech became slower and slower. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the country will be destroyed to protect the country, and there is a saying that the world will be protected by the death of the world...... The so-called death of the country is to change the surname and change the name, and replace the old and the new, just like the Han Dynasty Qin; The death of the world means that the order of the four seas has collapsed, and the moral laws are useless, as for leading beasts and cannibals, just like when Emperor Ling was to Dong Zhuo, he was in this situation. And to protect the country is to receive the favor of one surname and one person, and to hold power, so he seeks it; And protect the world...... Don't say that you protect the world, just one sentence, the rise and fall of the world, although the husband is also responsible! Zijing! ”

Lu Su exhaled a long breath, hurriedly crossed over from Chen Deng's side, who was already in a daze, and leaned over to call his order: "The minister is here!" ”

"Do you think my Gongsun Xun is protecting the country, or is he protecting the world?" Gongsun Xun was solemn, but without waiting for the other party to respond, he looked at Wang Ling and the three again. "Yanyun, Acan, Ayi!"

"The minister is here!"

"The students are here!"

"The kid is here!"

"You only see that Xuande and Mengde are the people who fight for the country with me, but have you ever thought that these two people are also comrades who protect the world with me?" The light of the setting sun faded, and Gongsun Xun's words were like knives. "I know that in the past few years, the world has become more and more peaceful, and there are always people who feel that I have lost my sharpness, are intoxicated with Antai, and forget to forge ahead, but have you ever thought that between me and Cao Liu in the Central Plains, there has been no day in the same heart and mind to forge ahead in the world over the years? Weisi people, who am I with? ”

"Shame on you!" Wang Ling took the lead and leaned over.

"Don't be ashamed." Gongsun Xun sighed slightly. "Protecting the world and protecting the country are not in the way, and it is not an unknowable and ugly thing to compete for hegemony, but you young people, if you want to make contributions, you must understand this truth in your heart...... The messenger has come from afar, let's hold a feast with fire! ”

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and at the same time, they saluted and said yes again and again.

At the end of the dinner, everyone stayed in a temporary place under the Tongque Terrace, and returned to Yecheng on the second day.

When Gongsun Xun returned to the city, before he could officially meet Lu Su and inquire about official affairs, he suddenly received a message in the mansion, which was sent by Xi Zhong himself.

"Huangfu Song...... Please resign Situ and ask Yecheng to teach the book of soldiers? Gongsun Xun sat behind the desk thoughtfully. Is this perceived? ”

"It's not necessarily awareness, it's alertness, right?" Xi Zhong was on the side, and he had to answer calmly. "After all, I have been a veteran for many years, and I have seen and thought a lot."

"What about Liu Yu?" Gongsun Xun asked again.

"There's no movement from the Captain." Xi Zhicai replied quickly. "It's just decent. However, even if it is decent, he has joined forces with the three princes and nine kings for the fourth time to urge the general to go to Chang'an and discuss the major events after the Son of Heaven tied his hair. ”

"I can't hide from it." Gongsun Xun shook his head and smiled. "It's as if Xuande asked Lu Zijing to test Hebei's attitude, and at the same time, I am afraid that I also understand in my heart that some things can never be avoided."

The drama was loyal and stopped.

"Zhicai doesn't have to act like this, I know ......" Gongsun Xun smiled with more emotion. Since we have come to this point, there are some things that must always be done, and we will never be merciful. It's just that I said some big things yesterday, so I can't help but sigh, why do these many people know in their hearts, but they still have to take everything for a little old favor? ”

"That's not what I mean." Xi Zhong sighed. "I just think that although the words of the prince yesterday were deafening, he inevitably said it a little earlier...... If you want me to say, some people are too deeply implicated, so it is better to let them go to the burial for the so-called old favor! The prince is too merciful. ”

Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, but when he spoke again, he also regained his composure: "Okay, if Huangfu Song wants to come to Yecheng, let him come, and Chang'an has invited so many times, this time we will send Lu Su away." ”

Xi Zhong leaned over and was silent.

——————I'm the dividing line that doesn't speak——————

"Xun has Langya, the whole Central Plains is a beautiful place, Liu Bei was terrified, and sent Dongcheng Lu Su to ask for peace in Yecheng. As a result, Xun saw that his people were in Tongquetai, and he argued with all living beings and couldn't hold each other. When the sun was setting in early autumn, Xun Nai sighed by the railing: 'The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the king is righteous, in the world, in the people? 'Su Nai'm ashamed. ——"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty". Wang Cang
