No. 209 Save Kong Wenju
It's just that what Liu Bei never expected was that he wasted so much effort to invite the world's famous man Kong Rong Kong Wenju, who was actually ready to leave Xuzhou immediately after receiving the call letter issued to him by Emperor Han Xian, and took office in Xu County to take up the post of master craftsman.
will be a master craftsman, equivalent to the later Ministry of Works, however, before the Sui Dynasty, the grade of this official position was lower than Jiuqing. This conscription letter of Emperor Xian of Han does not show how much Cao Cao valued him.
But even so, after all, it was an order from the hand of Emperor Han Xian, the lord of the world, Kong Rong insisted on leaving, and Liu Bei couldn't force him to stay.
At this time, the envoy sent by Jin Jue was one step ahead of the Han loyal ministers, and it was transmitted to Xuzhou.
Nowadays, although the ranking compiled by Jin Jue has caused a lot of controversy, but, in fact, it has been recognized by the world's corporaries, even if this list is more controversial, but as soon as the scholars from all over the country get their hands, they will still secretly spread it to farther places as soon as possible.
Therefore, this thing does not need Sima Yi and Jin Jue to find ways and painstakingly send people to spread it as before.
The third list was passed to Liu Bei and others, Zhang Fei drank too much wine, and his mouth was quick for a while, and he said, "This kid is really not authentic, this time, how did he make the ranking of the eldest brother so low?" What the hell is this Su? ”
Although Kong Rong drank more than Zhang Fei, he was a heavy drinker, he drank a lot, and his brain was much more sober than Zhang Fei.
When Liu Bei heard this, he glared at Zhang Fei and raised his chin, Zhang Fei was helpless, so he could only lie down on the wine table, began to pretend to be drunk, and immediately went up and the four guards carried Zhang Fei away on all fours.
After Zhang Fei was taken away, Liu Bei replied to Kong Rong with a smile: "Brother Wenju, you don't know that my third brother has always been a good drinker, and when he drinks, he likes to play drunk and talk nonsense. The person who can write this list must be a well-known hermit, how can it be as my third brother said, what kid wrote it? ”
Although Kong Rong has no deep friendship with Zhang Fei, he knows that it is very likely that a drunk person's unintentional words are the truth after drinking. He was a good drinker and liked to drink with his friends, so he had seen it many times.
However, Kong Rong also admitted that what Liu Bei said was not wrong, because, how could these three lists be written by a kid? Zhang Fei said this, and after Kong Rong heard it, it really caused a lot of confusion in his heart.
At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but persuade again: "Brother Wenju, you should think about it more, I don't have to keep you here." It's just that Cao Cao's ruthless and cruel methods slaughtered the city in Xuzhou and the famous man Bian Rang in Yanzhou, I heard that he not only killed Bian Rang, but also took away his wives and concubines.
Brother Wen Ju, you have a square personality, as said on this list of loyal ministers, Cao Cao is now taking care of His Majesty's face, so he will allow you to be a master craftsman. In the future, once his power is expanded, he may not look at His Majesty's face again, and when the time comes, Brother Wen Ju, you will really be in danger. ”
"Alas! Brother Xuandexian, I understand what you said! However, as a minister, how can I avoid the younger generation, my generation can die in the king's affairs in this troubled era, and it is not the etiquette of the minister? You're still not trying to persuade me? Kong Rong put down the wine glass, sat up straight, faced Liu Bei, sighed, and replied.
This is Kong Rong.
"Alas......!" When Liu Bei heard this, he also sighed and closed his mouth, he knew that since Kong Rong had made up his mind, it would be difficult for others to move him again.
But at this moment, at the banquet, Xu Shu, who had never said a word, suddenly said: "Mr. Wenju, although Xu doesn't know who these three lists are from, I have probably guessed the approximate origin of these three lists. What, Mr. Wenju, would you be interested in getting to know this person? ”
Xu Shu suddenly said this because he looked excited and excited from Kong Rong's expression when he saw this list just now, and thought of a way, a way to save Kong Rong's family.
Xu Shu also knows very well that Kong Rong is a person with great ambitions and talents, but this does not prevent him from admiring Kong Rong's personality.
Kong Rong's four-year-old pear is well known in later generations, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what really made Kong Rong famous in the world was the famous conversation between Kong Rong and the famous scholar Li Ying when he was a child, as well as Kong Rong, his brother, and his mother fought to the death in the disaster of the party.
Therefore, Xu Shu didn't want Kong Rong to go to Xu County as if he had thrown himself into the net.
"Oh! Yuan Zhi is right, you can talk about it, if what you say is reasonable, before going to Xu County, it is not impossible for the old man to get to know this celebrity in person? Hearing this, Kong Rong's eyes flashed with two fine lights, and he stroked his beard and replied.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wenju, you said it yourself. When the time comes, you can't be fooled! Xu Shu said with a smile: "Xu Mou has seen three suspicious points from this third list, please correct it with Mr. Wenju."
First, this hermit must have something to do with the Nakin brothers.
Obviously, at the beginning, for the sake of Yuan Shu, what Dangzi did to the Jin brothers is now known to the world. And now that Yuan Shu's reversal has appeared, this person still includes Yuan Shu in the list of loyal ministers.
Either this person simply can't see the current situation clearly, or this person just wants to use this matter to humiliate the current day.
Second, in the reserve list, the party Jin Wei is impressively listed.
He is now only Wen Hou's son-in-law, how can He De be included in the list. However, Xu has also heard that because of his attitude towards His Majesty, the Jin brothers have turned against each other, if it weren't for Lu Bu robbing Jin Wei halfway, at this time, Jin Wei would definitely still be working for today. Of course, Xu doesn't know whether this rumor is credible or not.
As for the third, it is the third Su Ze who makes everyone in the world feel extremely confused.
Xun Wenruo is still down, but what virtue does he have, how can he be ranked before your name, Mr. Wenju? However, people ignore one thing, that is, this Su Ze is a Sanfu person, and the Jin brothers are also Sanfu people, since this person is related to the Jin brothers, then this person is also likely to be a Sanfu person, at least he will also be a Guanzhong person.
From this, Xu speculated that this person must be living in Guanzhong now, and it is very likely that he will settle in Luoyang County or Wudu County of Jin Jue's kid. ”
