The next day, Guo Bin got up early in the morning, washed up and went up to Cai Yong's mansion. Guan Yu and the others did not accompany him, but were led by Huzi to tour the capital, and went to inquire about the news by the way.

After reporting to the door, someone soon led him in through the side door and came to a flower hall. There are no carved beams and paintings along the way, but the layout is elegant, idle and comfortable.

In the flower hall, there is a man in Confucian clothes with a long body, with a white face and a slight beard, a clear appearance, and a white Confucian robe, floating like a fairy.

Seeing Guo Bin coming, he smiled heartily and said, "Is it Guo Qianyang?" ”

Guo Bin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Boy Guo Bin, I've seen Cai Yilang." At that moment, he took out Sima Hui's letter from his bosom and handed it respectfully.

Cai Yong took the letter and unfolded it. After reading it for a while, he said to Guo Bin: "Virtue has always been good? ”

Guo Bin said: "Mr. is fine. ”

At this time, people from outside came, saying that there were guests in the front yard, and Yuan Benchu brought people to pay respects. Cai Yong ordered to lead the person directly to the flower hall, turned his head and smiled at Guo Bin: "This Yuan Benchu, knowing that the old man was resting, he became a villain who came without telling him. ”

After a short time, the family led the two men into the flower hall. The first person is tall, fair-skinned, and handsome. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed and said, "Mr. Bo Jiao, Yuan Benchu took the liberty to visit and became a villain, please forgive me." ”

The one in the back was not very tall, with a disheveled beard under his chin, and wore a silk robe full of folds, and only his eyes seemed to have a divine light. When he saw Guo Bin, his eyes lit up, and then his divine light disappeared.

When Cai Yong saw the two, he laughed and said, "Originally, Meng De, why did you two come together?" Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to a young talent. ”

said, grabbed Guo Bin, and introduced: "This is Guo Bin, the word Qianyang, Yingchuan Yang Zhai people, is Mr. Sima Decao's high feet." Qianyang, this is Yuan Shao, the original character, a native of Ruyang, Runan; This is Cao Cao, the word Mengde, a native of Peiguo County. ”

Guo Bin hid the shock in his heart, and honestly greeted each other with these two heroes.

After seeing the salute, Yuan Shao pulled Guo Bin and said, "But Xun Wenruo's fellow countryman? I also heard what Qianyang said in Taixue yesterday, and it was really a pearl. I have also seen that handwriting, the pen is smooth, handsome like a dragon, Yuan admires, haha. ”

Guo Bin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The carving insect skills, I laughed at the Fang family." In his heart, he secretly sighed that Yuan Shao was well-informed.

At this time, Cao Cao stepped forward and said: "The hidden sun is too modest, and the literature of young China is really like an enlightenment, like a good drink." Young heroes, too. ”

Yuan Shao also gave up, Guo Bin didn't dare to slack off on Cao Cao, and said busily: "Brother Meng De praises falsely, Guo Bin is young and ignorant, and he still needs the advice of a few brothers." ”

Cai Yong heard it in a fog and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, what's going on?" What Juvenile Chinese? ”

At that moment, Cao Cao told Cai Yong how Guo Bin reprimanded a group of doctors in Taixue yesterday and how he wrote a juvenile Chinese essay 1510, only to hear him nod again and again.

Seeing that it was almost noon, he ordered people to set up a banquet with wine, and everyone talked and laughed and rejoiced during the banquet.

During the banquet, Yuan Shao said to Guo Bin: "Brother Qianyang, what do you mean by saying in Taixue yesterday that eunuchs will gain power and bring disaster to the country and the people?" ”

Guo Bin smiled in his heart, glanced at Yuan Shao, and said: "A person who is not a complete eunuch is good at authority on the side of the monarch. Blinded the Holy Hearing, and killed the loyal and good. The party is the cornerstone of the country and the backbone of the people. The so-called high temple is worried about its people, and it is far away from the rivers and lakes to worry about its king. The disaster of the party is a dispute between eunuchs and scholars on the surface, but in fact it is a struggle between the imperial power and the power of the Valvea family, and it is also a dispute over whether Confucianism can establish the world. ”

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Cao Cao picked up the wine glass, covered his face with his sleeve, and drank it all.

Guo Bin continued: "It has been more than 300 years since Emperor Shizuwu deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone. Confucianism has been passed down for more than 300 years without such a crisis. Can the ideas of Confucianism become the rules of a just society? Is it a moral yardstick that can be maintained with life? In other words, Confucianism has reached a fork in the road. ”

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Guo Bin continued: "The so-called wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the good ministers. The eunuchs seized power and confused the dynasty. Countless party members have voiced the voice of Confucianism with their own blood and lives. From this time on, Confucianism became the moral criterion by which blood could be shed and sacrificed for the sake of social fairness and justice; Since then, Confucianism has become a social norm that the Han people can maintain with their lives and blood; From this time on, Confucianism truly became the study of the Han nation. ”

Seeing that even Cai Yong clenched his fists and looked excited, Guo Bin was secretly happy in his heart, cleaned up his mood, and continued to flicker, no, he continued: "If you say the virtue of Confucius and Mencius, you are giving birth to Confucianism; The virtue of Dong Gong is in Confucianism; The virtue of the party is in Confucianism. ”

At this time, Cao Cao suddenly got up and said: "Qianyang's words today can reach the ears of you and me, and must not be known to the fifth person." Do you think so? ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Guo Bin said in his heart: "Cao Cao is really responsible. ”

In fact, Guo Bin said this with a lot of rebellious words, but he did not say it in a shallow way, but after careful consideration. Yuan Shao has always been a pioneer against eunuchs, he has lived in seclusion in Luoyang since his father's funeral, ostensibly not to communicate with guests, but in fact secretly befriending party members and chivalrous people, such as Zhang Miao, He Hao, Xu You and others.

Zhang Miao is a well-known party member and one of the "Eight Chefs". He Hao was also a member of the party, and had a close relationship with the party leaders Chen Fan and Li Ying, and often entered Luoyang several times a year to discuss countermeasures with Yuan Shao and help the party members take refuge in the disaster of the party. Xu You was also an active participant in the struggle against eunuchs. Among Yuan Shao's close friends was Cao Cao, who formed a political group aimed at opposing the dictatorship of eunuchs.

Yuan Shao's activities attracted the attention of the eunuchs, and Zhao Zhong, the chief attendant, warned indignantly: "Yuan Benchu raised his value, and he should not be summoned by the imperial court to raise outlaws, what does he want to do!" Yuan Kui heard the rumors, so he reprimanded Yuan Shao and said, "You are preparing to destroy our Yuan family!" But Yuan Shao remained unmoved.

Regardless of whether Yuan Shao was really patriotic and loyal to the monarch, even if he was just to wash away the shame of not being valued as a concubine, in order to form an alliance with the scholar clan, so as to force the family to value him and cultivate him, it was impossible for him to cooperate with the eunuchs anymore.

And what about Cao Cao? As soon as he joined the work, he dared to execute Jian Shuo's uncle with a five-colored stick, and in the face of Dong Zhuo's assassination in the name of offering a knife, if he wanted to say that he would run to tell the truth, Guo Bin didn't believe it.

Cai Yong is a gentleman, to put it nicely, he is a square person, and to put it ugly, this person is a bit of a gentleman and is not tactful, otherwise he would not have been executed by Wang Yun for crying Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, this "heartfelt words" won the approval of the three people present, and Yewei further penetrated into the interior of the valve reading and scholar clan, knocking on a breakthrough.

At that moment, Guo Bin came to the table and waved his pen:

In May, the mountains are snowy, and there are no flowers but cold.

The flute smells the willows, and the spring has not been seen.

Xiao Zhan followed the golden drum and slept with the jade saddle.

I am willing to put the sword down my waist and cut Loulan directly.

A song of Li Bai's "Stopper" made everyone enthusiastic.

Yuan Shao shouted: "This work of the hidden sun should be floating." ”

So the crowd drank bitterly.

On that day, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

When Guo Bin returned to Guo's mansion, it was nearly dusk.

When I came to the flower hall, I saw Guan Yu, Guo Quan, Dong Xinger and Huzi all there.

Seeing Guo Bin coming back, Dong Xing'er fluttered over like a butterfly, pulling his sleeve, her eyes red.

Guo Bin was stunned, and when he saw Dong Xing'er's pear blossoms with rain, his heart was filled with infinite tenderness, and he said, "Xing'er, what's wrong?" Did Mr. Guo Quan make you angry? You see me beating him up and giving you a breath. ”

At this time, Guo Quan looked aggrieved, but he didn't have the old foolishness.

It was Guan Yu who said to Guo Bin: "The spies came to report that there is the whereabouts of Dong's predecessors." ”

Guo Bin hurriedly said: "What? Where is it? ”

Dong Xing'er sobbed and said: "Yes, I said that I was serving Xu Fengfu in Zhongchang." ”

Guo Bin was taken aback and said, "What? ”

Guan Yu said: "Senior Dong is not in Xu Feng's mansion, but the news that senior Dong was in Luoyang before came from his mansion. ”

Dong Xing'er snorted lightly: "Then, isn't that almost the same?" ”

Guo Bin nodded, lost in thought.

Guan Yu and the others were waiting for him to come up with an idea, but no one spoke.

After a while, Guo Bin said: "Huzi, send someone to keep an eye on Xu Feng's mansion, who went in and who came out, I have remembered it." ”

Huzi agreed and arranged for people to go.

Guo Bin said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you follow me to visit Xu Fengfu at night tonight." ”

In one sentence, I only heard the eyes of the three people present. Dong Xing'er stepped forward and pulled Guo Bin and said, "Brother Bin, I will also go with you." ”

Guo Bin was only one head and two big, and he ignored Guo Quan's tearful and expectant eyes, and said, "Xing'er, you and Quanzi take care of the house, and I will go back with Yun Chang." Thinking about a eunuch's mansion, has it become a tiger's den in Longtan? ”

Dong Xing'er just didn't listen, but Guo Bin coaxed her to stop her.

That night, Guo Bin and Guan Yu rode horses wrapped in hooves to a forest outside the city, and let Huzi take care of the horses.

Fortunately, this Xu Feng was greedy for pleasure, and because the open space in the city was limited, he could not build a mansion, so he built the mansion outside the city. This saved Guo Bin's boss trouble. I think he also knew that he had done a lot of evil, and because the house was built outside the city, he paid more attention to defense.

The courtyard wall is more than two feet high, standing outside the house, I often hear the barking of dogs from far to near and from near to far, obviously it is the patrol of the courtyard.

The two of them changed into night clothes in the forest and sneaked into the shadows under the courtyard wall. Hearing the sound of footsteps inside, Guan Yu picked up a stone and threw it inside.

I only heard a "click" inside, waited for a while, didn't hear any movement inside, the two looked at each other, and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

When Taizu visited Cai Bojiao, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu also went and talked very happily.
