Chapter 11 Tai Shi Ci
In order to escape the rebellion of the Yellow Turban, there were many scholars and celebrities who took refuge in Liaodong at this time, among which the more famous ones were Bing Yuan, Guan Ning, Liu Zheng, and Wang Lie.
After returning to Liaodong, Cai Yong took Gongsun Kang to visit Bingyuan. At this time, Bingyuan ran a school in Liaodong and recruited some young people to teach Confucianism.
And Gongsun Kang went to find Tai Shi Ci, because Tai Shi Ci was a guest here in Bingyuan at this time.
Tai Shi Ci is seven feet seven inches long, has a beautiful beard, is good at shooting with ape arms, and is a real marksman. Not only is he an excellent archer, but he is also a brave warrior.
Tai Shi Ci is still a person who is more upright, filial and grateful, and he is also a person who knows how to be flexible. Speaking of the reason why he took refuge in Liaodong, it is a very interesting story.
Tai Shi Ci has been very studious since he was a child, and later served as the chief of the county (Donglai County). That is to say: Tai Shici is a literate person, not a big man as everyone imagines.
At that time, there was a dispute between the county and the state (Qingzhou), and the merits could not be distinguished, and the verdict that concluded the case was mostly in favor of the governor of Youji (the official in charge of the punishment and reward). At that time, the state had already sent its order to the Division, and the county guard was afraid that it would be unfavorable to lag behind, so he sought someone who could be a messenger.
Tai Shici was twenty-one years old at the time, and was elected as an envoy, but he traveled day and night to Luoyang, first waited in front of the bus, and waited for the state officials to arrive, and then began to seek to pass the chapter.
Tai Shici asked the state official pretendedly: "Is Jun also here to ask for Tongzhang?" The governor replied, "Yes." Tai Shici asked again: "Where is the chapter?" The governor said, "In the car." Tai Shi Ci said, "Is the inscription of the chapter really correct?" Can you take a look? ”
The state officials didn't know that Tai Shi Ci was from Donglai, so they took out the chapter and matched it. Who knew that Tai Shi Ci had hidden the knife in his arms, and after taking the state seal, he took the knife and destroyed it. The governor shouted in amazement, "Someone has ruined my recital!" ”
Tai Shi Ci took the governor to the workshop and said to him: "If you don't take out the piece and give it to me, I can't damage it, and I'm afraid that our good fortune and evil will be equal, and I may not be the only one who suffers this sin." Rather than sit and wait to be killed, if we all run away together, we can at least save our lives and not have to be tortured needlessly. ”
The governor asked suspiciously, "You have succeeded in destroying my recital for the sake of your county, why do you have to flee?" Tai Shi Ci replied: "I was sent by this county at the beginning, but I was only responsible for inspecting whether your state constitution has been passed. But what I did was so drastic that I broke my official seal. Now, even if they see it, I am afraid that they will be condemned and punished for it, so they hope to flee together. The governor believed what Tai Shici said, and fled on the same day.
However, after Tai Shici and the state officials went out of the city, they absconded back to the city to pass on the county chapter and complete the mission. The state family knew about it and sent another official to Luoyang to pass the chapter, but the department did not re-examine the case because of the reason that he had obtained the county seal first, so the state family suffered from it.
Taishi Ciyu is well-known in the world, but he has also become a figure hated by the state, and in order to avoid unjustified disasters, he takes refuge in Liaodong.
This story is enough to show that Tai Shi Ci is not a stubborn person, and he also has a cunning and flexible side. To put it nicely, it is brave and resourceful.
Gongsun Kang said to Tai Shici: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements." Does Ziyi think that's the case? ”
This sentence was originally said by Tai Shici before he died, so he had great resonance in his heart. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Childe's point of view, I agree very much, it just goes to my heart." ”
Gongsun Kang also said, "Goguryeo often invaded our homes, burned down our houses, destroyed our fields, robbed our belongings, plundered our fathers and villagers, and bullied our sisters. Is it tolerable or intolerable? ”
Tai Shici's train of thought was led by Gongsun Kang, and he naturally said: "It's unbearable!" ”
Gongsun Kang finally said, "I want to destroy Goguryeo within three years." Please Ziyi help me. ”
Tai Shi Ci was awake at this time. said: "It's no problem for me to help Childe, but do you have the strength to do so?" ”
Gongsun Kang knew that if he didn't show his strength, Tai Shici would not recognize the master. Just say, "So be it." Ziyi first went back to Xuansu County with us, and the two of us made friends and did something for the Han nation together. ”
This time, Tai Shi Ci agreed. He didn't recognize Gongsun Kang as the master, but just went to Xuansu County with Gongsun Kang as a friend.
Bing Yuan did not want to be involved in politics, but only wanted to talk about Confucianism. Gongsun Kang ignored Bing Yuan, but he also asked people to send him some money and food regularly, which was regarded as support for him to run a school independently.
Before returning to Liaodong, Gongsun Kang asked people to find a treasure land with beautiful mountains and rivers in Liaodong County and build some sturdy houses. Then let the government allocate some money and food on a regular basis. Cai Yong's academy is open. Origin? Let Cai Yong solve it himself first.
Cai Yong gathered every day with the literati who fled to the three counties of Liaodong, and let out the news that he was preparing to build a college. There were a large number of scholars who came to study.
So Cai Yong picked and chose more than 20 young people, and the college was opened.
Gongsun Kang wanted universal education and let all school-age children go to school. But now the conditions are not ripe, so Cai Yong is stocked first.
It is worth mentioning that on the way back. Gongsun Kang is already familiar with Cai Wenji. A 15-year-old girl, but she thinks she is an adult. This makes Gongsun Kang unable to treat her the same way he treats Lori, but it is still a little awkward to treat her as a woman.
Cai Wenji also has a younger sister, who is 11 years old this year. If they hadn't been brought back to Liaodong this time, the year after that, the 13-year-old Cai would have eloped with an uncle-level sheep. And the sheep had sons at this time. Little Lori loves to blame her uncle.
