Chapter 431: Xiahoulan (3)

The heat has passed,、QΒ(5).cOm\\

The ancient capital of Chang'an is more majestic. The ancient pine on the bridge is particularly majestic in the autumn colors, and the Weishui is rushing and moving forward.

It stands to reason that Dong, who has been absent from Chang'an for nearly two years, should return with great fanfare.

But Dong didn't do that.

Let Dian Wei lead the Chinese army, with Ko Yi as the deputy general, and march mightily. As for himself, accompanied by Li Kui and the four of them, he led two hundred trolls to quietly leave the brigade, quickly raised his horse, and set off two days before Dian Wei and the others set off.

Before leaving, Liang Xi was officially appointed as the Taishou of Hedong and the lieutenant of Si Li.

It can be said that this appointment came as a surprise to many. Liang Xi, just a small county order, became a member of the imperial court who enjoyed 2,000 stones, and he didn't know how many people's glasses were broken. But on the other hand, this is exactly in line with Dong's promise.

Eclectic talents!

Dong hires people without looking at qualifications or family background, as long as you have the ability, he dares to appoint them.

This hand made the hearts of the students in Guanzhong unmath. Many students who couldn't stand the loneliness set off one after another before Dong arrived in Chang'an. Who doesn't want a good future. Although scholars pay attention to wind bones, wind bones cannot make people eat after all.

Dong didn't expect that because of his small move, how many people would be affected in the second year of Taiping, after all, it was different from the situation in the early years of Jian'an. Five years ago, Dong entered Guanzhong, and his foundation has not yet been established. Although there is a talent search order, many people are still waiting. The Kwantung princes are strong. How to reconct the fiasco of Guanzhong is the first proposition for countless people to come up with for Dong. Then the Battle of Danhan Mountain. The Great War of Merging States, the Great War of Luoyang...... All of them are a test for Dong Di.

Now, although Dong cannot be said to dominate the north, his grandeur has been revealed, and his strong strength is enough to explain everything.

In this case, the scholars also had to study carefully. If you don't come forward again, you will be able to cooperate. He may never have the opportunity again.

And Dong. The reason why he rode back to Chang'an was because he had another plan.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Fort Dupost. The gray walls. Under the illumination of the setting sun, it shows a kind of vigor and majesty.

When it was getting dark, the group quietly arrived outside Fort Dupost.

The drawbridge fell, and after the two of them connected the group into the castle, they immediately surrounded the castle. Silent vigilance.

Li Kui and others have their own people to settle down.

Dong was accompanied by Fa Zheng Wang Mai. Walked into a cell.

This cell is richly decorated. A sumptuous banquet was placed in the middle. Jia Xu was sitting on the edge of the wine table with a smile on his face.

"Strategist!"

Dong stepped forward and saluted, looking extremely respectful.

Jia Xu doesn't look old at all. It's just that because of the scarcity of sunlight, the complexion takes on a strange paleness.

Hurriedly stood up and hugged Dong. Jia Xu said softly: "My lord, there is only the prisoner Jia Xu here, and there is no military advisor Jia Wenhe. ”

Dong said sincerely: "In my heart, Mr. Wei! ”

It means that in my heart, only you, Jia Xu, are worthy of being my military advisor. Even Chen Gong is not qualified.

Now Di Dong is not a good family who used a steel knife to subdue Jia Xu back then.

As the commander of the three armies in Guanzhong, the governor of the soldiers and horses, before that, Liu Ban made Dong the prime minister, and the general leader of Guanzhong's affairs. But Jia Xu felt that Dong had not changed. It's still the same as when he was in the wine shop outside Lintao City, with a pure heart.

Jia Xu felt very comfortable, just this one sentence...... He felt that the disappearance of the past few years was worth it!

Everyone politely sat down.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The lord cooked wine with Cao Mengde Qingmei in the mountains that day, and now it has become a beautiful conversation. Although Xu stayed at home, he also heard a lot of rumors. The two short songs, each with its own merits, I am afraid that in the future, on the history books, you will be famous as the lord. ”

Dong couldn't help but be ashamed!

That day, the wine was very drunk, so he led his neck to sing. But after singing, he didn't even know who was doing the "Short Song Xing" he was singing, and he nodded and chanted softly: "The days are so short, and a hundred years of hardship are easy to be satisfied." The sky is vast, and the ten thousand calamities are long...... Such a heroic and majestic magnificence, who can export it if it is not the lord. The last general often pondered, but felt that the meaning in the song was long, and it was a rare masterpiece...... I want to pick up six dragons, go back to the car and hang Fusang. Beidou poured wine and persuaded the dragons to take a look...... Every time he chanted, the last general always felt that the blood was boiling. ”

No one will suspect that Dong is nothing more than piracy and plagiarism.

Not to mention the poems he wrote in his early years, it is difficult for ordinary people to create such magnificent poems when they have not reached a certain level.

In the eyes of everyone, Dong, who once created "Liangzhou Ci", has obviously reached such a state.

Dong can only accept it with shame......

Wang Mai said with a smile: "The lord may not know that a few months ago, Beihai Kingdom held a banquet and assessed seven talents in today's literary world, and the lord is not only among them, but also at the top of the list. Even Cao Mengde thinks that his literary talent is far from that of the lord. ”

Dong squirted out a mouthful of wine and looked at Wang Mai in amazement.

He really didn't know about it, these days, he has been hiding in Hedong to be idle, except for the battle of Jingzhou that made him care, the rest of the things are ignored. As for the fact that Donghai County held a feast, Dong had only heard of it.

This feast, which took place in the second year of Taiping and the sixth year of Jian'an (i.e., 201 AD), was a very grand event for Shilin. Its initiator is Zheng Xuan Zheng Kangcheng, who is known as the doctor of the Six Classics and is known as the head of the Three Monarchs, and the scale is very grand.

Zheng Xuan was born in the second year of Emperor Shun's Yongjian (127 AD), and has few scientific names. is good friends with Li Ying and others, and is known as a master of scripture.

The reputation of this person is great. In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. The yellow turban thief passed Zheng Xuan's residence. All of them died down, and they didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zheng Xuan was in exile, and finally settled in Beihai Kingdom, where he lectured and discussed scriptures every day, which was also comfortable.

However, perhaps it is really the answer to that old saying. The sky is unpredictable.

Zheng Xuan has only one son under his knees. is named Zheng Yien, and in the first year of Jian'an, he was recommended by Kong Rong as filial piety. Served as the Commander of Le'an.

Originally, this Zheng Yien could go to Xuchang as a lang.

But because he couldn't bear to stay away from his old father, he asked to live in Qingzhou. Le'an (now Guangrao, Dongying, Shandong) is the seat of governance of Le'an. It used to be the hometown of Sun Wudi, a master of the art of war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, located in the east of the big river and on the bank of the water. Quite rich.

It's not too far from the North Sea Country. Zheng Yien can also often go home to visit his father and ask for advice.

It would have been a great thing. Since Cao Cao's occupation, Qingzhou has been very stable and has not had any wars.

But just last year, Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Qingzhou.

After the fall of Pingyuan County, Gao Ran led his army across the river to fight and attack the country of Le'an. According to the proposition of Qingzhou Mu Chengyu, the tactics of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness. The chosen place for the decisive battle was Judingze to the east of Le'an Kingdom. Therefore, the people of Le'an must be evacuated.

Gao Lan came quickly, making it impossible for the people to evacuate completely.

If Zheng Yien leaves at this time, there will be no problem. But Zheng Yien has been taught by his father since he was a child, eating the king's fortune and worrying about the king. He actually led the soldiers of Le'an Country to block the Gao Lan Department on the bank of the water. In a bloody battle, the people were able to leave, but Zheng Yien was killed in battle.

Zheng Xuan lost his son and was inexplicably sad.

He was 74 years old at the time, and after hearing the bad news, he couldn't afford to fall ill.

After the beginning of spring, Zheng Xuan's body gradually recovered, after all, although Zheng Yien left, he left him a little grandson Zheng Tong as a companion.

Unexpectedly, one day Zheng Xuan had a dream, and he dreamed that Kong Zhongni said to him: "Get up, get up...... Last year, I was in Chen, and this year is here

According to the calendar, this year is the year of Xinsi, and last year is the year of Gengchen. Gengchen is a dragon, and Xin Si is a snake. According to the old saying, the year of the dragon and snake is not good for the sages. So after waking up, Zheng Xuan said to his grandson Zheng Tong: "I will die soon, and I want to have a sutra feast." ”

Zheng Xuan lectured, that was a big deal.

Even Cao Cao put aside the ongoing Qingzhou War and brought the Wenchen around him to Beihai to participate.

In between the feasts, scholars began to comment on today's literary giants. Many people took out their own works and asked Zheng Xuan to comment, and Cao Cao was no exception, and presented the short songs he made in Dashan to Zheng Xuan, asking Zheng Xuan to comment on him.

This Zheng Xuan's comment is just like Xu Shao's Yuedan comment back then, which can be met but not sought.

The old man's interest was also very high, so he commented on them one by one, and his evaluation of Cao Cao's "Short Song Xing" was also very high.

But Cao Cao raised the idea of a competition.

Take out the "Short Song Xing" that Dong did in Dashan that day, and also take it out.

After Zheng Xuan finished reading, he looked at Cao Cao blankly and said: "Ji Cangsheng, An Liyuan, who is not Meng Degong, who can deserve it?" This poem is magnificent, and Meng Dedang has created a new pattern in the literary world because of this. Today's poems, especially Mengde's "Short Song Xing"! ”

For another person, it must be peace of mind.

But what kind of character Cao Cao is, although he is reluctant, he still said: "Master Zheng is bad, this poem is not made by Cao, but from the mouth of others." ”

When the scholars heard this, they were immediately curious.

This is the first place hand-picked by Master Zheng, who is the great sage who has this literary brilliance?

Cao Cao replied: "The person who did this poetry is the husband of Liangzhou...... Dong Dong Xiping. ”

When this sentence is spoken, it can't help but have a sour taste. But what a character Cao Cao was, he quickly calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart.

"A few months ago, I cooked wine with Dong Yu in the mountains and green plums, I made a short song with four words, and Dong Xiping used a short song to line five words and sentences. I love Xiping's talent very much, coupled with the beautiful rhetoric, the peculiar conception, and its momentum is ...... More majestic and heroic, unconsciously remembered. ”

When Zheng Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but say continuously: "How can a contemptuous husband be like this...... How can a contempt be like this? ”

This is not a curse, but a compliment. Meaning: Is that rude guy so talented?

After Dong heard Wang Mai finish speaking, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous.

Wang Mai said with a smile: "Later, the scholars who participated in the banquet were assessed as seven talented people, and the lord ranked first because of Zheng Gong's words. And because the Beihai Kingdom was under the rule of Cao Cao, the seven lords were called the seven sons of Jian'an. The last general would like to congratulate the lord here. ”

Dong is already numb!

Jian'an's seven sons?

Ha, I actually became one of the seven sons of Jian'an, ashamed of me, ashamed of me......

After talking about some miscellaneous things, the four of them turned the topic to the main topic. Fa Zheng told the big and small things that happened in Chang'an in the past two years. Then he couldn't help but say with some concern: "The saint now worships the Buddha, but in Chang'an City, many Buddhist temples have been built. And that Tucheng is a wide range of believers, building temples, declaring that the saint is the reincarnation of the Buddha, he is the protector of the Buddha, and there are great signs of repeating the Taiping Dao rebellion of the year. ”

When Dong heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"What does the Holy One say?" "The emperor is now buried in Buddhist scriptures and rarely participates in political affairs. Since the defeat of Xiahoulan, he handed over all the government affairs to the Chengming Hall to deal with, stayed in the Buddhist hall of Weiyang Palace all day, and occasionally went to Qingliang Temple to understand Buddhism...... It is said that even the beauty of the moon rarely sees him. ”

Dong said softly: "In other words, the emperor may not know what Tu Cheng did?" ”

Fa Zheng nodded slightly.

This can't help but make Dong Chang breathe a sigh of relief, at least there is no need to clash head-on with Liu Bian.

It's just that the rise of this Buddha thing is a bad sign. Listening to what Fa Zheng said, Tu Cheng has a bit of a shadow of a corner.

Dong couldn't help but look at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled, "Didn't the lord say that it is better to be blocked." Since this religious matter cannot be stopped, why not set up a religion to compete with this Buddhist matter. I heard that Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, is also quite mysterious...... At that time, he was in the Han Zhongli Wudoumi Sect, and he also made remarkable achievements. The lord doesn't want to clash with the emperor head-on now, so he might as well pull Zhang Lu out, presumably he will be interested in it. ”

Dong Yi frowned, pondered for a moment, and nodded!

"What the military advisor said is extremely true, it is better to block than to sparse, and this is exactly how it should be...... By the way, I suddenly remembered a few people, if I can join forces with Zhang Lu, I guess Buddhism should not be worried. Wang Mai, can you check it for me...... Zuo Ci and Yu Ji are two people. Whatever the means, be sure to bring these two people over to me. I don't know where Zuo Cichang is, but that Yu Ji seems to be in Jiangdong, so you might as well pay attention. As long as Yu Ji can be found, Zuo Ci will not be far away...... Don't look at me, I've only heard of their names, but I don't know the words. ”

Wang Mai scratched his head, "The last general should do his best." ”

At this time, Fa Zheng said softly: "There is one more thing, I don't know if the lord has heard about it?" ”

"What's the matter?"

After Fa Zheng hesitated for a moment, "That Xiahou Lan ...... Three months ago, he committed suicide by hanging a beam in Fuzhong...... He, suicide! ”

Dong was stunned for a moment......

Note: Regarding Dong's "Short Song Xing", the author is actually the poet immortal Li Bai.
