Regarding Xun and Xun You's defection to Cheng Yun together, the Xun family actually disagreed.

But for Xun Shuang, he prefers his children and grandchildren to have their own ideas, and does not interfere much, and by the way, he throws away these adult boys, Xun Yan and Xun Xiuruo took refuge in Cao Cao, Xun Chen Xun Youruo defected to Yuan Shao, Xun Yue and Xun Zhongyu defected to Sun Jian.

Xun Shuang's opinions are more effective than the other clansmen of the Xun family combined, and the elders of the Xun family have no choice but to let a few people choose.

Although Cheng Yun failed to catch Xiu Ruoyouruo Zhongyu, he finally got the strongest Wen Ruo under his command, and of course there is a Gongda who can be compared to him, he has already made a lot of money, there is no need to fight for anything, after all, he is content and happy, so he went to visit Xun Shuang with a gift.

Xun Shuang is still sick, people are not saved by medical skills when they reach their age, Zhang Feng took the imperial doctors to take turns to take care of him, and he could only hang Xun Shuang's life.

When Cheng Yun saw Xun Shuang, Xun Shuang's face was already withered and he was about to die, but he was in good spirits, leaning on the bed and greeting Cheng Yun.

Cheng Yun saluted, "Has Duke Ciming ever been in a better state today?" ”

Xun Shuang smiled, "People are old, one day is a day, where is the state better?" What are you doing today? ”

"I'm just here to see you, Lord Sikong, and thank you for your support to our young people." Cheng Yun smiled, "If Wen Ruo didn't have your nod there, I don't think he would have become my staff so smoothly." ”

Xun Shuang shook his head, "I didn't do anything, the children's choices were made by themselves, they all knew who was suitable to be the lord, and if they didn't choose the hussar, the hussar should not be resentful of him." ”

"Huh." Cheng Yun waved his hand, "What did Ci Ming Gong say, it is very good to be able to serve the country if you have learned something, and it is okay to benefit the people wherever you are, there is no need to be my subordinate." ”

Xun Shuang stared at Cheng Yun and sneered, "You kid is here to play sloppy with me, I can see at a glance that you definitely want to take all the young and old of my Xun family into your pocket, and you can do anything anywhere, who are you fooling." ”

Cheng Yun sighed, "It's true that there is a lack of talent." But no matter how eager you are for talents, you will respect their opinions, I told Gongda before that I don't want to forcibly recruit people from your Xun family, how can I go back on my word? ”

"Your best quality is to speak your word." Xun Shuang nodded, paused, and inexplicably sighed, "Actually, the first time I saw you in the last court, I knew that you didn't want to be a loyal minister. ”

Seeing that Cheng Yun's expression did not change in the slightest, Xun Shuang didn't say anything, but still admired him in his heart, "When you look at Your Majesty's eyes, you want to look at a stranger, extremely indifferent, you may not have paid attention to it." Maybe that's the reason, whether it's Wang Zishi or Liu Boyu, they all want to get rid of you. ”

Cheng Yun's expression changed a little at this time, he was puzzled,

"Is there one? I really didn't notice this, I... Do you not want to see Your Majesty so much? ”

Xun Shuang glanced at the lower door, now closed, and exhaled, "Why do you dare to say anything casually, if you are listened to by others, you will be in trouble again." ”

"It's alright." Cheng Yun scratched his head, "Actually, I don't want to be so obvious, I don't just want to be a loyal minister, I don't even want to be a minister." ”

Xun Shuang's face changed, and Cheng Yun explained in a shy, "I want to be a citizen, a rich man, rich and rich, with a group of wives and concubines, how good this kind of day is, but being a courtier has to worry about all kinds of efforts, and you have to beware of others plotting to kill you because you get in the way of others, the key is to make achievements, and you can't make the slightest mistake or omission, alas." ”

Xun Shuang looked at Cheng Yun with disdain, "I really don't know what Liu Shuwang and Lu Zigan have taught you, why are your ideals so mediocre?" Can't you be a little ambitious? ”

"Mediocre." Cheng Yun's eyes were dazed, not knowing what he was thinking, then he shook his head and came back to his senses, "What made me have great ambitions?" It's just that mediocre ambitions simply can't be realized. can't return the strong man back then, where is there any peach blossom paradise for me to be rich and safe? ”

"Peach Blossom Spring?" Xun Shuang thought for a moment, "This description is really appropriate, there is no place to find a paradise." ”

Xun Shuang sighed again, "I didn't expect time to flicker, more than twenty years have passed." Few of my old friends have survived to this day. I'm also getting old, and I'm soon going to be able to hold on. I don't know when the Han dynasty we are pursuing will be realized. ”

Cheng Yun was silent, he didn't know this problem, and even he didn't know if he could help them achieve this vision, whether it was Liu Bei or Yuan Shao, they were all on a par with him, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian were mountains that were extremely difficult to climb in his eyes.

There are still a few years left in the troubled times of the world, what will it look like, like the mountains and rivers are not as broken as the original history, and will the situation of being oppressed by foreign races for 500 years still appear? Cheng Yun didn't know this, he only knew that he had a long way to go.

Xun Shuang smiled, "Don't worry about it, boy, although I don't have much time, you are still young and have a lot of time." You always get better and better, right? Since you are here, I want to talk about Sikong, I have no way to hold this position, and this position cannot be vacant, and I need to replace it with someone who can be Sikong to do things. ”

Cheng Yun saw that his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were extremely firm, and he nodded, "Since Duke Ciming has this idea, I can support it." Can Ci Ming Gong have a suitable candidate to recommend? I'm going to play it right away, and I'll recommend it tomorrow. ”

"Yingchuan Chen Ji Chen Yuanfang?"

Cheng Yun was surprised, "Ciming Gong is really a celebrity who does not avoid relatives and enemies externally, aren't the Yingchuan Chen family and the Yingchuan Xun family opposite?" ”

Xun Shuang laughed and laughed until he coughed, Cheng Yun hurriedly went over to help him calm his breath, "I thought you Cheng Wen should be wonderful."

People, but in fact you are a mediocre person. Where would a family have a feud because of a juxtaposition? ”

Cheng Yun pouted, "Okay, it doesn't mean that what I think is wrong, I can only say that Ling Zun and Chen Zhongbow both have the legacy of their ancestors, and you and him Chen Yuanfang are also famous people in the sea, so even if there is competition between them, they can maintain their sanity." ”

Xun Shuang was a little comfortable being slapped by his sycophants, but Cheng Yun couldn't invite Chen Ji, "Forget about Chen Yuanfang, let's change it, he has always been unwilling to recruit him for an official position, and now he has assigned his son to Cao Mengde, making it clear that he wants to fight against me and the court, how can he be a leader." ”

Xun Shuang's smile disappeared, "Do you don't want to recruit him as an official, or is it true that as you said, he doesn't want to come?" ”

"I don't have to deceive Ci Minggong, because he is so old, and he has no choice but to be at odds with me after entering the court." Cheng Yun laughed, "Although it is said that a gentleman should not talk about others behind his back, I may not be a gentleman, you are a gentleman, you just listen to it, he Chen Yuanfang prides himself on being high, acting very differently from others, not sticking to etiquette, and is a person similar to me." She will not be loyal to the king because we occupy orthodoxy, but she will do what she wants to do, and be loyal to the country for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Xun Shuang and Chen Ji have been compared for a lifetime, and they must know Chen Ji very well, as soon as Cheng Yun said it, he understood what was going on, and sure enough, it was the Chen family who pressed the treasure on Cao Cao, and felt that Cao Cao was a virtuous minister who could revitalize the Han family.

"Han Rong in the Imperial History..."Xun Shuang thought for a while, "Han Yuanchang is not very suitable to be Sikong, but he can be Situ." ”

The corners of Cheng Yun's mouth twitched, Situ is Cai Yong, can you still remove my father-in-law? Where to evacuate? He can't be a commonplace.

Xun Shuang thought again, "I don't know what Uncle Ma Weng is doing now?" ”

"Huh?" Cheng Yun was stunned, Uncle Ma Weng? Who is it?

Xun Shuang saw that he didn't know Uncle Ma Weng, and hated that iron could not become steel, "Don't you even know him?" Your father has just come to Luoyang, under whom is he doing things? ”

"Ma Ri?" Cheng Yun suddenly realized, "His old man was last year because... Well... The royal has been deposed, can he be activated now? ”

"What's not to do," Xun Shuang disdainful, "He Jindu has been dead for a year, and he can't use Uncle Ma Weng yet?" Could it be that the Queen Mother will stop it? ”

Cheng Yun nodded, "Okay, then I'll try, he should be a person who helps the wind?" I immediately wrote to Zhang Boshen and invited his old man first. ”

Xun Shuang nodded, signaling that he was tired, Cheng Yun saw the situation and retired, and after a while, Xun came in, "What does uncle think of others?" Can it be the master? ”

"Lord Ming can't talk about it," Xun Shuang patted Xun's hand, "But he will definitely be your like-minded friend, who can accompany you to keep the foundation of the Han Dynasty and continue the Han Dynasty." ”

Xun nodded, as if he understood something, Xun Shuang smiled when he saw this, "Don't worry, follow him, it must be the best for you." ”
