Chapter 14: Tang Ji's cousin
"Haha, brother, I'll be embarrassed if you praise me like this." Don't look at Pei Yuanshao like a general in front of those five hundred people, but in front of Pei Qing, he is like a child, he has a serious dependence on Pei Qing, and even his speech is starting to be unreliable.
Pei Qing now likes this feeling very much, because this is the taste of relatives.
At this moment, I saw one of the captives shouting loudly: "Big boss, I am a citizen of Changshe County, can you let me go?" As long as you can give me back my freedom, I will definitely repay you well. ”
"Repay? What do you repay me with? Pei Qing was immediately full of interest when he heard this, and said teasingly to the other party: "You also said just now, you are just an ordinary person, you are poor and white, and you actually said that you want to repay me, is this a bit of empty talk?" Do you know that I actually hate people who lie to me the most? ”
When the man heard this, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, then gritted his teeth and said to Pei Qing: "No, absolutely not, I, I actually concealed my identity before, I don't hide it, I am from the Tang clan, Tang Ji is my cousin, I am her cousin, my name is Tang De, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will definitely give you a lot of money in return." ”
"Tang Ji? Which Tang Ji? Although Pei Qing has a gene pool of famous generals, and he also knows the famous generals of various periods, he is not a famous general, so he understands less, and he didn't react for a while after hearing about this name, so he asked casually.
Tang De was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said proudly: "Tang Ji is the concubine of the late King Hongnong, that is, the concubine of the young emperor who was abolished by Dong Zhuo's old thief before, she is different from ordinary concubines, because she is the only wife of the young emperor, but it is a pity that Dong Zhuo's dog thief abolished the emperor without authorization, otherwise, we are all imperial relatives......"
When Tang De said this, he suddenly realized that he had said too much, and now Dong Zhuo was still in power in the imperial court, if his words were spread, it was estimated that not only would he be worried about his life, but even his family would be killed.
So now Tang De's face is pale, for fear that Pei Qing will use this as an excuse to kill him, even if he doesn't kill him, as long as he reports this to Dong Zhuo, it is estimated that he will be a dead end, right?
Sure enough, I saw Pei Qing shouting loudly: "You are so bold, you dare to scold the imperial master, aren't you afraid of death?" ”
When Tang De heard this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, but he thought again, he couldn't live anyway, so he let it out, so he said loudly: "Am I not right? Dong Zhuo is a traitor, what is he? Dare to follow Yi Yin Huoguang and abolish the Son of Heaven without authorization, although he is powerful, but he cannot escape justice, he was so arrogant in Luoyang a few days ago, wasn't he also driven to Chang'an? It's a pity that the heroes of the world are not united, otherwise, his head would have moved a long time ago, where would it be his turn to be so arrogant? ”
When Pei Qing heard this, he immediately sighed softly: "There are righteous people in the Kanto, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers." In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang. The forces of the army were uneven, and they hesitated and walked wildly. Snobbery makes people fight, and the heirs fight each other......"
"Good poetry, good poetry! I really didn't expect the literary talent of the big boss to be so high, it's really admirable! Tang De is a person who loves poetry, although his literary style is not very good, but he has also collected some good poems, and now when he hears Pei Qing's recitation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised loudly: "The poem of the great boss portrays the scene of the joint crusade against Dong Zhuo by the princes this year, just like you said, the army is uneven, and snobbery makes people fight, alas, how did you think of such exquisite verses?" ”
"This, this is the verse I composed? Not Cao Cao? After listening to Tang De's praise, Pei Qing's heart suddenly shook, and he thought silently: "Could it be that Cao Cao hasn't made this song "Artemisia in the Journey" at this time? If that's the case, then I'm sorry, this poem has become my Pei Qing's work. ”
However, Pei Qing still has to probe Tang De's tone, if Cao Cao's poem is indeed not written, he is not embarrassed, so he plagiarizes it openly, but if someone writes it, he will be a little embarrassed, so it is better to investigate clearly before making a decision.
So Pei Qing asked, "Could it be that Mr. Tang is also a lover of poetry?" ”
"Don't hide it from the big master, although the villain is not very good, but he is also an elegant person, he loves to read poetry in his life, in this world, whenever a new poem comes out, he will definitely find a way to copy it as soon as possible." Tang De was smiling and quite complacent, looking very proud of his hobby.
Pei Qing's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked, "Oh? Then let me ask you, has Cao Mengde, the Taishou of Dongjun, recently had a new poem come out? ”
"Yes, just a few days ago, Meng Degong wrote a poem "Pickled Dew Xing", this poem is a narrative poem written with the old title of Yuefu, this poem is simple and unpretentious, heavy and tragic, and the poem written by the great master Fang Cai has the same effect, if I didn't hear it from your mouth in person, I really thought that this poem was written by Meng Degong, the poem said: 'But Han XXII, the sincerity is bad. Mu monkey and crown belt, know small and seek strong......'"
Tang De was very engaged in reciting, completely forgetting that he was a prisoner, shaking his head, and looking a little bookish.
After finishing the recitation, Pei Qing also suddenly remembered the second half of the song "Artemisia in the Journey" that he recited.
In fact, he didn't stop on purpose before, but he suddenly forgot what was written later, and knew that he just remembered it after listening to Tang De's recitation of "Xue Lu Xing", which also made him sure that Cao Cao had indeed not written this poem yet, because the "Huainan Brother title" in the back refers to the incident of Yuan Shu being called the emperor, and this matter has not happened yet, because at this time, Yuan Shu was only Nanyang Taishou, and he did not occupy Huainan, nor did he get the jade seal, let alone the emperor.
So Pei Qing was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he stopped, otherwise how to explain this poem? Can it be said that he can predict the heavens? It's a bit of a shock.
At this time, Tang De also reacted, and asked Pei Qing: "By the way, the big boss, I didn't seem to finish your poem just now, and I don't know the ...... of the next poem."
"Oh, I'm not done yet, I've only thought about this half."
"I see, I'm looking forward to the big boss being able to make the second half." Tang De looked pity and said slowly.
However, Pei Qing didn't continue, but suddenly asked: "Well, let's talk about poetry later, I just want to ask, since you hate Dong Zhuo so much, why don't you join the rebel army against him, but just stay at home and do that poem?" ”
I saw Tang De smile bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just like what you said, now the heroes are not really against Dong Zhuo, fighting each other for their own interests, although I have the intention to kill thieves, but I don't have a master to rely on, and in addition, I also know that my ability is just a sour Confucian who has read a few poems. ”
At this time, I saw Pei Qing suddenly say: "If I can help you grow into a talent, so that you have the ability to win a thousand miles or go into battle to kill the enemy, are you willing to help me sweep away the murderers and stabilize the world?" ”
