Chapter 159: Sealing the Table
Yuan Shao sent to invite Kong Rong and Cao Shuo, it was Feng Ji.
Kong Rong and Cao Shuo came to the front yard, and Feng Ji was already waiting there.
Seeing the two of them coming out, Feng Ji greeted him and said, "Feng Ji has seen Kong Gong and Zirong Gongzi!" ”
The two returned the salute, and Cao Shuo asked, "Do you want to trouble Fenggong to greet us?" ”
"You're a distinguished guest." Feng Ji said: "Yuan Gong originally planned to greet him in person, but there were too many affairs in Hebei, so he could only let me, an idler, come." ”
"If we are idlers, we don't know what to do." Kong Rong said: "It's just too troublesome, and I really don't want to go." ”
"When I came, I saw a group of people going out of the city." Feng Ji asked, "I wonder if it's an arrangement between the two?" ”
"Exactly." Kong Rong said: "Gongzi saved some women on the way, as well as the beauties sent by Gongzi Xianfu yesterday. My son-in-law considered that it would be inconvenient to take so many women in Yecheng after all, so he arranged for someone to send them out of the city first. ”
"I see." Feng Ji nodded and said, "No wonder Guo Tu let him go easily." ”
"I arranged this." Cao Shuo said: "I knew that the guild would pay attention, and I should have said hello a long time ago." ”
"No, you don't! No! Feng Ji smiled and waved his hand: "Zirong Gongzi is serious, when he comes to Yecheng, he should be in Xudu." The Yuan family and the Cao family have always been good friends, and Yuan Gong and Cao Gong are also old friends, so they don't need to tell too many people what to do. ”
"With the words of Fenggong, I am relieved." Cao Shuo said.
"Gong Yuan ordered someone to prepare a banquet early in the morning." Feng Ji said: "All the dishes are fresh, the fish was specially fished in the river overnight, the wine banquet should have been almost done, and I invited the two of you to go with me to the banquet." ”
"Yuan Gong is gracious, and Cao Gong will never forget." Kong Rong said.
"Please, two!" Feng Ji stepped aside.
Kong Rong and Cao Shuo also humbly conceded, and the servants walked out of the house side by side.
To get to Yuan's house from this house, you only need to walk through one street.
Out of the house, Cao Shuo and Kong Rong found that the road was full of Yuan Jun.
Every few steps on both sides of the road, there is a Yuan Jun standing like a sculpture wearing a stubborn and straight waist.
"Feng Gong, this is ......" Seeing that there were so many Yuan Jun, Kong Rong asked.
"Gong Kong didn't come to Yecheng to read His Majesty's holy decree?" Feng Ji asked.
"Exactly." Kong Rong replied.
"Your Majesty's holy decree, how dare Duke Yuan not treat it with care?" Feng Ji said: "Duke Yuan has asked people to set up a high platform in the city, and later read the holy decree first, and then go to the mansion for a banquet. ”
"So, aren't we going to Duke Yuan's mansion?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Of course not." Feng Ji said: "In order to meet the holy decree, Yuan Gong ordered the soldiers to guard along the street, which shows how much attention is paid to it. ”
"Duke Yuan is a great man, of course he will attach importance to His Majesty's holy decree." Cao Shuo said: "But the one in Huainan is ......"
Huainan Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor at the beginning of the year.
Yuan Shao was originally a concubine, and when he was young, he passed on to Yuan Cheng and inherited the foundation of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shu, who was born in the son, has always looked down on him, and although the two are brothers, the relationship is very tense.
Speaking of Yuan Shu, Feng Ji smiled disdainfully, and said to Cao Shuo: "Yuan Shu's rebellious ministers dare to rebel against the Han Dynasty and claim the emperor, and Yuan Gong has long had the heart of crusade. It's just that Gongsun Zhan has been harassing all the year round, so that Yuan Gong has no intention of looking south, so he is allowed to swagger to this day. What did Zirong Gongzi mention him for? ”
"From one door, Yuan Gong is loyal and brave, and he can learn from the sun and the moon." Cao Shuo said: "Huainan Yuan Shu is a rebellious minister, and the world is impermanent, which is really embarrassing. ”
Feng Ji accompanied the two of them, and saw that they were about to arrive at the Yuan family's mansion.
Far away, Cao Shuo and Kong Rong saw Yuan Shao waiting outside the door of the house with a large group of people.
Seeing Kong Rong and Cao Shuo coming, Yuan Shao hurried to catch up.
"Kong Gong! Sub melt! When he arrived, Yuan Shao smiled and clenched his fists and said, "I've been waiting here for a long time." ”
The two of them returned the salute, and Kong Rong said: "Yuan Gong greeted him personally, and we were really scared!" ”
"What did Kong Gong say?" Yuan Shao said with a smile: "The two of you came to Yecheng to announce the decree by His Majesty's order, and that is the envoy sent by the imperial court. How can there be a reason why the Envoy comes, but I do not greet him personally? ”
"That's what Yuan Gong said!" Kong Rong said: "It's just that the announcement doesn't need to make such a big show. ”
"Your Majesty's decree, who dares to despise it?" Yuan Shao said: "With such an arrangement, it can be seen that the Yuan family in Hebei is loyal to the Han Dynasty!" ”
"Kong Gong." Yuan Shao approached Kong Rong and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what Your Majesty mentioned in your will?" ”
Yuan Shao had long known that Kong Rong and Cao Shuo were ordered to canonize him as a general.
I asked this question just to get the exact news from Kong Rong's mouth.
"Your Majesty is grateful for the loyalty and righteousness of Yuan Gong, and specially issued a decree to canonize General Yuan Gong." Kong Rong whispered: "Congratulations to Gong Yuan!" ”
"In this way, I didn't make a mistake in sealing the table." Yuan Shao laughed and instructed the judge on the side: "Pass the order, and the people of Yecheng will celebrate for three days." ”
The trial responded.
Yuan Shao accompanied Kong Rong and Cao Shuo across the street.
The streets they passed through had been cleared, and there were not half of the people on the road, only the stubborn Yuan soldiers along the way.
The sealing table was built two or three stories high.
From dozens of meters under the stage to the top of the stage, there is a red carpet of tasting.
The red carpet is made of pure northern cashmere, which is soft and comfortable to step on.
Yecheng has not had such a prosperous era for a long time, and the Yuan family has made preparations in advance, and many people in the city have come to watch the ceremony.
In order to prevent emergencies, there are not many Yuan troops deployed in the three layers around the sealing platform.
Especially on both sides of the red carpet, the straight and upright are the elite of Yuan Jun.
These Yuan Jun are tall and big.
Their armor was thick, and the long swords they wore were much wider than ordinary swords.
Yuan Shao and others arrived, and a general greeted them.
This man is burly and walks with a tiger's style.
When he arrived in front of Yuan Shao, he saluted and said, "Qi Yuan Gong, first go to the camp with eight hundred elites to congratulate Yuan Gong." ”
"General Ju!" Yuan Shao smiled and waved his hand: "What the holy decree says, you and I don't know yet, how can we congratulate you?" ”
It was his fierce general Ju Yi who saluted Yuan Shao.
The first battalion trained by Ju Yi made outstanding achievements in the battle against Gongsun Zhan.
He himself is also very reused by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao specially arranged for him to congratulate him under the sealing stage, just to let Kong Rong and Cao Shuo see how much the Yuan family soldiers expected the imperial court to reward Yuan Shao.
"Duke Yuan is loyal to the country, and His Majesty must have ordered Duke Kong to come to commend him." Ju Yi said loudly: "The last general is just congratulating in advance!" ”
"Soldiers, should Duke Yuan be rewarded?" Ju Yi turned his head and raised his voice and shouted.
The soldiers of the Yuan family present raised their blades and shouted in unison: "Yuan Gong's meritorious deeds can learn from the sun and the moon!" ”
The shouting was deafening, and the noisy people's heads were dazed for a while, and Cao Shuo simply covered his ears.
