Liu He followed Cao Cao to his camp, and when he entered the tent, he saw a person sitting in the middle: he was born at least one meter eight tall, broad-shouldered and strong, wearing a red scarf, wearing a leather armor suit, a gold thread ribbon with jade embroidery on his waist, and a thick black cloud shoe, and his dress was quite solemn and elegant; Looking closely at his face, he was born with a wide forehead and white face, a pair of thick and thick eyebrows that go straight into the sideburns, bright and bright eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, big ears facing his arms, white teeth and red lips, and a slight lock of thin beard - what a handsome and beautiful person!

"All of you are here! I will introduce you to a guest. This gentleman is my safari encounter, and he is very fateful. Cao Cao said and pulled Liu He inside.

Liu He hurriedly saluted: "Tai student Liu He, I have seen all the gentlemen!" ”

"Shun it! This is Yuan Jun - Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu! Cao Cao pointed to Yuan Shao in the middle.

"Liu He, Liu Shunzhi. Brother Ben Chu is polite. Liu He was another one.

"This is Yuan Shu Yuan Highway, the original brother."

Liu He looked at Yuan Shu, this Yuan Shu has yellow muscles and thin muscles, and has a long face, thin eyebrows, a flat nose, a pointed mouth, and monkey cheeks.

However, this Runan Yuan clan is extraordinary, first of all, it is a family of scholars who have studied "Meng's Yi" from generation to generation; The second is the "Fourth World and Three Dukes" and "Yuan An Woxue", who are famous in later generations, and this "Yuan An" is Yuan Shao's great-grandfather. The two brothers now live with their uncle. Now the two uncles Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui are also hot in the court.

"Brother Highway!"

"Hmm!" Yuan Shu nodded casually.

Having said that, Yuan Shu seemed to really dislike Yuan Shao, and when he saw Liu Hexian saluting Yuan Shao, he returned the salute very lightly.

Cao Cao pointed to one of the people in red clothes and said, "This virtuous brother is the son of Cui Gong, the court captain, Cui Jun and Cui Yuanping. ”

Liu He saw that he was tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a red face and red ears, eyes like stars, and a bright red body from head to toe, with a martial spirit, and even more admiration, so he arched his hand and said: "It's polite." ”

Cui Jun hurriedly returned the salute: "It turned out to be Liu Shunzhi!" Is it good to be honored? ”

"Brother Yuanping has a heart. Father, well! ”

"The original! Just now Meng De brought him in, I thought to myself, how familiar it was - it turned out to be a famous scholar in the East China Sea, an elder of the clan, and the son of Liu Bo'an's family, who had run through the Five Classics. My father and Liu Bo'an had discussed the Pentateuch before. Cui Jun suddenly realized.

At this time, as soon as he heard that it was a member of the Han family, Yuan Shao became enthusiastic, got up and pulled Liu He to introduce: "This virtuous brother's surname is Xu, his name is long, his words are far away, and he is the same townsman as me. ”

Liu He couldn't help but take a closer look: this Xu You is more than one meter tall, holding a square scarf with his hair in a bun, wearing a white coarse linen long coat, a black cloth belt around his waist, and a white and yellow coat, which is not surprisingly dressed; Looking at the face, a pair of sparse fleshy eyebrows, small and delicate ingots ears, and a deflated nose and thick lips are really ugly, but they were born with a pair of round and bright big eyes, and the eyeballs are dripping and turning, revealing a spiritual light.

Liu He immediately sighed inexplicably in his heart: "I don't know that you will fight each other after many years." ”

Xu You pointed to the other two and said, "This big man is Nanyang Lou Gui, the word is uncle; The one who was born like a girl is Wang Jun of Runan, the character Ziwen. We are all studying the "Rites and Verses" under the Qiaogong Gate. ”

Although Liu He felt that his words were frivolous, he was also witty. However, if you look at these two people carefully, I think it is very appropriate: Lou Gui is more than 1.8 meters tall, with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, long hair and scarves, dressed in purple silk clothes, quite burly, and his demeanor is chic and magnificent. That Wang Jun was of medium stature, wearing a snow-white long robe and a chic mink coat, which was particularly pretty; Looking at his face again, this man's face is like a crown of jade, his teeth are white and his lips are red, his eyebrows are like a crescent moon, his ears are like ingots, his eyes are full of autumn water, he looks forward to Shenfei, he is better than Zidu, and he does not let Song Yu lose his color than a painting, and he is more beautiful than Xishi in the painting and Chang'e on the screen.

"Uncle Zi!"

"Brother Ziwen!"

Liu He saluted separately!

"By the way, you're welcome. Liu Bo'an knows the Five Classics, and his tutor often praises him! In the next is also a long time, there is a chance for you to be introduced! Wang Jun said with a smile.

"Brother Ziwen is polite! Although I am a little younger than you, but today I met you at first sight, and you are willing to make friends with me, which is my honor, I first drink three bottles of self-esteem! Liu He said and picked up the wine.

"Shun Zhi is bold! I'll pour you a drink! Cao Cao picked up the wine jug and poured it for Liu He.

"There's Brother Lao Mengde." Liu He drank it all.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after pushing the cup and changing the cup just now, Yuan Shao's tone was a lot closer: "Gentlemen, sometimes I think, under the wind of the world, the officials are wise and wise to protect themselves, what do the current scholars and officials want?" I, the highway, Mengde, and Yuanping are all people, and I awarded Puyang Chang, Henan Lieutenant of the Highway, Mengde Qiandun Qiu Ling, and Yuanping Baihu Ben's right servant shooting. ”

Seeing that everyone was either pondering or drinking, Liu He strengthened his courage: "This ...... Although he has not yet come out, he thinks that he should be loyal to the king and treat the people with kindness. ”

"I didn't mean that, I mean which is more important?"

"The younger brother is stupid, what is the opinion of the first brother?"

Yuan Shao put down his chopsticks: "My dynasty has been flourishing since Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing, although the martial artists are also close to Confucianism. Only on the generals of Yuntai: Deng Yu is good at reciting the "Book of Songs" and is employed in Chang'an; Kou Sui cultivated rural studies and taught "Zuo's Spring and Autumn"; Yangxiahou Feng Yitong "Zuo Biography" and "Sun Tzu"; Jiaodong Hou Jia Fu is familiar with the "Book of Shang"; Geng Yi knows the way of "Lao Tzu"; Sacrifice to beg for the scriptures, throwing pots for fun; Li Zhong is polite and vulgar; Liu Long travels to Chang'an ......"

Liu He listened to him list the deeds of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in a number of treasures, and he was already convinced: the people who can leave their names in the annals of history really have a few brushes

Therefore, the warrior is also literate, and he keeps his business, so that he can also govern civil affairs and promote education. Therefore, the cultivation of martial artists is very important, the safety of the upper country, and the honor and disgrace of the lower body. Conversely, literati should also be able to do military affairs. His well-reasoned remarks came to an abrupt end, but he never mentioned the usefulness of the military force.

"I have benefited a lot from listening to Brother Ben." Liu He originally just thought that Yuan Shao had a chic demeanor, but then he realized that this person had extraordinary knowledge, and added, "Ma Yuan gave up school to join the army, and Ban Chao threw his pen from Rong, all of them have become a generation of heroes!" ”

However, Yuan Shao has always been thinking about the affairs of the court, and changed the topic: "Meng De, you have been serving as the speaker for a year, although the Tailang is prominent, it is the rank of the official...... But it's so bad when you're in a hurry. Now that the royal West Garden has been completed, the emperor won't even return to the palace, what will you give him advice when you see him? ”

"The emperor won't even return to the palace?" Liu He frowned: "That's not ...... Did Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong control the government? Who did the court rely on after that? ”

"Rely on us!" Cui Jun is very conceited.

"Hey, hey! You think it's beautiful, and now the emperor has his own people to use. I heard from my uncle that he was thinking about making all the people who used to play with him become officials. Those who sing, write, paint, play, and even fight cocks and lackeys are now going to be officials. It is also called Hongdu Gate School, and it is under the jurisdiction of small people such as Zhizhi, Jia Hu, and Le Songna. It's really ......" Yuan Shao was still merciful, and didn't dare to say bad things about the emperor.

"Isn't it better than a painting by a painter after a few years of cold windows and years of war exploits?" Liu He was a little unconvinced.

"Don't be a joke, Jiang Lan, the painter of Hongdumen, the emperor wants him to be a waiter." Yuan Shao smiled bitterly, "Uncle has advised the emperor several times about this, but it doesn't work!" The relationship between Jiang Lan and Zhang Rang is hard, and no one can pull it. ”

It's really strange that the three princes can't bring down a painter. Liu He couldn't help but think: Now it seems that today's long live is not as good as the first emperor! Although the first emperor ignored government affairs, he always did not arbitrarily implement government decrees, but today he has a lot of bad ideas. Of course, such dissatisfaction cannot be expressed explicitly.

"yes." Cao Cao said: "It was a few days ago that Wang Meiren gave birth and he went back. It is estimated that Queen He is about to fall out of favor again, and Wang Meiren gave birth to a little prince! ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "It's better for us to talk less about the royal family's private affairs......

"The year is changing! Now don't talk about things, it's hard to even see the emperor's face, and get a bunch of eunuchs to deal with errands all day long. To be honest, I'm not an upright minister, and our Cao family is not from a clear stream! I always think that everything can get by...... But there are some things that I can't get over right now! Seeing this inside and out...... Alas......" Cao Cao sighed.

"Although our emperor is ...... Stubborn ......" Yuan Shao used such a bad word, and seeing that everyone had no opinions, he continued, "Speaking of which, entering the palace alone at the age of twelve has undergone great changes, the clan has destroyed the King of Bohai, killed the Song family, quietly eradicated the power eunuch Wang Fu, and knows poetry and calligraphy and painting, and knows the classics of the past dynasties, what kind of things has he not experienced?" What kind of truth can he not understand? How many of the ancestors of my dynasty did they have such endowments and talents? ”

Yuan Shu, Liu He, and Xu You looked at each other, but they had to admit that these were all facts - in the second year of Guanghe, he issued an edict to execute Wang Fu, but no one expected that after he executed Wang Fu, he changed hands and executed Liu He, Chen Qiu, Yang Qiu and other hardline ministers. At this moment, Liu Hong is no longer the cowardly little emperor, through a series of political disputes, he has trampled the clan, party members, relatives, eunuchs, and powerful ministers to the soles of his feet, and no one will dare to openly challenge his imperial power in the future! He began to be arbitrary, pushing his cronies Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and the henchmen of Hongdumen who had been painstakingly cultivated to the forefront, and a round of political purges had been completed silently......

Cao Cao took over the conversation: "But his mind is all about whitewashing the Taiping, and he is building a palace and an expedition to Xianbei, so he doesn't want to think about the consequences of working the people and hurting the money." He didn't listen to good advice, he didn't want the minister's advice, he just wanted Xu Ji, Liang Hu and other people who never spoke much. Although he is smart, he insists on ruling the world too simply...... Now that disasters are everywhere and the people are angry, the power of Taiping Dao is becoming stronger and stronger. But the emperor is mediocre, the eunuchs are rampant, the officials are greedy, and the harem is chaotic, and they have no intention of awakening. As the saying goes, happiness begets sorrow, and the catastrophe is just around the corner! ”

"A few days ago, Yang Situ went to the imperial court to curb the Taiping Road, but he was left behind." Yuan Shu said coldly.

"If there is a change in the world, what is the basis for this?" Liu Hedao.

"What do you mean?" Xu You looked at Liu He.

"Let the gentlemen laugh, and the little brother will be ugly." Liu He cleared his throat: "Although he is a relative of the Han family, he is not a well-known person in the cave, and he is afraid that he will be seen by people in the sea and foolish, and he wants to guard a county, so as to be a political and religious person, so as to establish a reputation and make the world know about it; Mu Wei and Huo Zhigong wanted to make meritorious contributions to the country, and wanted to be the general of the four towns, and then inscribed the tomb with the words 'The tomb of Liu Hou, the general of the north of the Han Dynasty'. We scholars should 'set their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the people, continue to learn for the sake of the saints, and open peace for all eternity.' ’”

"What a 'peace for eternity'! I am based on the river in the south, Yan and Dai in the north, and the people of Rong Di, and the south to determine the world, and then the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao drank.

Cui Jun, Xu You, Wang Jun, and Lou Gui also have their own ambitions.

Cao Cao thought for a while: "I am the intelligence of the world, and I can do everything with the Tao." ”

"Haha! Just you Cao Mengde? Mengde, you're getting high. Yuan Shu looked like he was drunk and talking nonsense: "That's right! By the way, I learned from my uncle that Ling Zun may have to worship the history of Youzhou and deal with the affairs of Youzhou within a few days. ”

It's really the speaker who listened intentionally, and Yuan Highway's words made Liu He's eyes light up, and he seemed to think of something?
