It is now April of the first year of Zhongping, from the hasty uprising of the Yellow Turban at the end of last year, it has been almost half a year now, Su Chen went all the way south from Youzhou, pacified the main force of the Yellow Turban in Youzhou and Qingzhou, and left a small group of rebels to gather in the mountains and forests, and only rely on the local government to slowly deal with it.

After the Qingzhou affair was completed, he originally wanted to rush to the aid of Dong Zhuo and resist the pressure from Zhang Jiao's army, but he never thought that after the war report from Qingzhou arrived in Luoyang, Emperor Ling was very happy, and heard that the right Zhonglang would Huangfu Song was defeated by the Yellow Turban Bocai and retreated, Huangfu Song only entered the Changshe defense with Zhu Jun, and was besieged by the army led by Bocai, and the Han army was small and demoralized. The Runan Yellow Turban Army defeated Taishou Zhao Qian in Shaoling, and the entire Southern Yellow Turban was very arrogant.

After Liu Hong learned of the defeat of Huangfu Song, he was very unhappy, and wanted to transfer the imperial army to reinforce, at this time the general He Jin claimed that the safety of Luoyang was more important, and the imperial court could not send extra officers and troops to reinforce, and proposed to let Su Chen go south from Qingzhou to help Huangfu Song.

Liu Hong also thinks this proposal is good, after all, since Su Chen sent his troops, he has repeatedly defeated the Yellow Turban and beheaded the enemy, although the collection of prisoners seems to show bad intentions, but this is the time to employ people, even if the ministers have repeatedly impeached, he will not be released.

And He Jin's proposal also hit Liu Hong's heart, and transferring Su Chen to the south can not only relieve the siege of Huangfu Song, but also greatly reduce his strength, so as not to make him proud of his achievements, so that he will have two hearts for the court in the future.

After receiving the order from the imperial court, Su Chen didn't think much about it, and immediately turned the gun and went south, passing by Gaomi, but he stopped temporarily, because he was going to visit someone.

The person he wants to visit is none other than the person who carries the ancient scriptures, Beihai Gaomi Zheng Xuan Zheng Kangcheng.

Zheng Xuan has a lot of prestige in Shilin, and his study is mainly based on ancient scriptures, and he also adopts modern scriptures. He has read all the Confucian classics, which can be regarded as a fusion of ancient and modern scriptures, but he tends to be on the side of ancient scriptures.

Zheng Xuan did not abide by the teacher's law and family law in the scriptures at this time, and he used his profound knowledge to annotate the ancient scriptures, and the annotations did not use the interpretations of ancient scriptures, but also adopted the explanations of many modern scholars. That is, the ancient text is the mainstay, and the modern text is adopted, and the good is followed.

Zheng Xuan once entered Taixue to study "Jingshi Yi", "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Three Unification Calendars", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and learned "Ancient Texts and Books", "Zhou Li" and "Zuo Chuan" from Zhang Gongzu, and finally learned ancient scriptures from Ma Rong. After returning from the study tour, he gathered disciples to teach, and the disciples reached thousands of people, and his family was poor and studious, and he finally became a great Confucian. The disaster of the party was imprisoned, and Du Men commented and devoted himself to writing.

What Su Chen didn't know was that Zheng Xuan was overwhelmed by He Jin's recruitment at this time, and in the final analysis, he still had to talk about the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court was forced to grant amnesty to the party. After the party ban was lifted, the rulers of the imperial court had already heard of Zheng Xuan's name, so they vied to hire him to serve in important positions. However, Zheng Xuan sought fame rather than officialdom, was ashamed to be with his relatives in the temple, and never wanted to get involved in the official career, but repeatedly refused to recruit and devote himself to the academic work of writing books and lecturing.

But at this time, in order to win the hearts of the people, He Jin, a relative general who was in charge of the imperial court, first recruited Zheng Xuan to enter the court as an official. The state and county officials coerced him to leave, Zheng Xuan did not want to enter the court as an official, and he did not dare to disobey the summons, especially the state and county officials came to persecute him every day, which made him miserable and crowded.

When Su Chen came to Zheng Xuan's house with his entourage, he happened to see this scene.

I saw an official dressed as a scribe, with a few servants, standing at the door of Zheng Xuan's house, and persuaded him bitterly: "Kang Chenggong, you have accepted General He's summons when you are old, otherwise, it is not only you who are unlucky, but also our county order, everyone is a fellow villager, and the county magistrate also respects you on weekdays. ”

Su Chen is a cultivator, and his hearing is naturally stronger than that of ordinary people, although it is far away, the words of the scribe still reach his ears word for word.

"Kang Chenggong, you don't want to think about yourself, you have to think about Ling Lang is not, isn't Ling Lang Yien also at the age of filial piety, as long as you agree to the general's call, the county magistrate said, immediately raise Yien as filial piety, with your old status in Shilin, Yien's future is limitless."

Zheng Xuan has an only son, Mingyi, the word Yien, this person was raised by the Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong as filial piety in history, and later Kong Rong was besieged by the yellow scarf, Zheng Yien went to the disaster and died, when he died, his wife was pregnant, gave birth to a posthumous son, Zheng Xuan with his handwriting like himself, the name of Xiaotong.

This Zheng Xiaotong was raised by Zheng Xuan since he was a child, and he was in the official to the servant in Cao Wei, and he was the marquis of the Guan, and he once taught Cao Chaoshangshu, the son of Cao Lin, the fourth emperor of Cao Wei, the king of the East China Sea, and was later killed by the general Sima Zhao.

The Zheng family is also a big family that has been passed down from generation to generation, but when it came to Zheng Xuan, it was a little declining, his grandfather and father were not outstanding, Zheng Xuan's distant ancestor Zheng Guonai was one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, and later generations posthumously named the Marquis of Qushan. The eighth ancestor Zheng Chongzi tour. For the Gaomi family, the Western Han Dynasty mourned the emperor's official Zhishang servant shot.

When mentioning his only son Yien, Zheng Xuan raised his eyebrows, but still did not speak.

The scribe said that Zheng Xuan was like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, and he didn't know how to lift it, so he persuaded a person next to him and said: "Gongyou, you also help me persuade your teacher, don't think about himself, you have to think about the Zheng family, if you offend the general, we have a few heads enough to cut off, and the family will suffer, why bother?" ”

Known as Gongyou is Zheng Xuan's student Sun Gan, Sun Qian's person Su Chen is no stranger, he followed Liu Bei all the way, and he was his trusted staff in the early stage, following Liu Bei from Xuzhou, and serving as Liu Bei's envoy many times. After Liu Bei settled in Yizhou, he worshiped Sun Qian as a loyal general, and his treatment was second only to Lu Zhu.

Sun Gan has to say that he is not up or down, and he can't be called very high, but he is loyal enough and reliable, and he can be said to be a loyal person, such a person, even if he can't be in a high position, he can be trusted by the superiors.

Sun Qian frowned with a wry smile when he heard this, he knew the character of his teacher, once he decided on something, it would be nine cows that couldn't pull it back, not to mention that the teacher only liked to teach his disciples all his life, and didn't like to mix with officialdom, so if he opened his mouth, then he would be his disciple in vain.

Hearing this, Su Chen probably understood what was going on, and he didn't stop anymore, and immediately walked to the door of Zheng's house.

Seeing Su Chen and his party, the clerk was surprised, after all, this group of people should be dressed as officers and soldiers, could it be that the general sent him to arrest Zheng Xuan?

When the scribe thought of this, he was very frightened, and he leaned forward in fear and asked, "Dare to ask the general's surname?" Where did it come from? For what? ”

In fact, not only the scribes, but even Zheng Xuan was taken aback, wondering if He Jin's people came so quickly? Less than a month after he received the summons, He Jin sent someone to arrest him.

As for Sun Qian, he is very worried, no matter what, he is bound to advance and retreat together with his teacher.

Hearing the words of this scribe, Su Chen was a little depressed, and said in his heart how could he feel that he had become the one who learned the scriptures, and he didn't even have a good impression of this little official: "It's none of your business, go aside." ”

As soon as he spoke, the two strong tiger guards directly forked him to the side, and when those officials saw it, they lowered their heads one by one, as if they didn't know each other.

Seeing that the person who came was so rude, Sun Qian frowned, it seemed that the person who came was not good!

But to his surprise, the young general who was the leader, after coming to Zheng Xuan, actually bowed down respectfully and made a big salute: "Wuyuan Su Chen meets Kang Chenggong!" ”

"Wuyuan Suchen?" Hearing this name, Sun Qian immediately had a name in his mind, and he was about to speak, but thinking of the identity of the other party, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be the famous Beizhong Lang general Su Po, seeing that he greeted him as a junior, Zheng Xuan didn't take a shelf, and replied: "It turned out that General Su was in person, and he was old and polite." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Su Chen hurriedly turned to the side, did not accept Zheng Xuan's salute, and hurriedly replied: "Kang Chenggong has tormented the boy, when he was in Taihang Academy, his father-in-law often mentioned the name of Kang Chenggong, and then the boy passed by the residence of the prince of the plains, and repeatedly heard the name of Kang Chenggong. ”

Su Chen gave the other party enough faces, and he didn't make any sense of it, he only paid homage as a junior, and he didn't show favor in and out of his words.

Although Zheng Xuan has lived in the humble room for a long time, it is not that he has not received any wind, Su Chen has just pacified the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and he can come to him, obviously not at random, but it is impossible for He Jin's spies to be the identity of the other party, and he just mentioned the names of Taihang Academy and Cai Yong, and his meaning is self-evident.

"General, please!" Zheng Xuan invited him into the house, and then instructed Sun Qian: "Gongyou, quickly make tea for the general." ”

"Yes, Teacher!"

Zheng Xuan's residence is not much different from Wang Lie's thatched house, but it is unimaginable that such a place used to gather former students to listen to lectures.

After the two sat down, they greeted each other, talked about the scourge of the Yellow Turban, and talked about the current government, the opinions of the two were more compatible, and after Sun Qian brought the tea, Su Chen went straight to the point and said: "Master Zheng, the student heard from the mouth of the little official before, the general wants to recruit Zheng Shi, if Zheng Shi feels embarrassed, it is better to go to Taihang Academy, one can avoid chaos, and come back to the general's summons, three students of Taihang Academy If they know that Zheng Shi is going to lecture, they will be very happy, now Taihang Academy has a family Yue, Wang Shi, Mr. Guan Ning and the three of them gave lectures, and when Master Zheng went, he also had many companions, and everyone studied together, wouldn't it be very pleasant? ”

"Hahahaha, you little slippery head, it turns out that the big one is this abacus." After the two got acquainted, Zheng Xuan also regarded him as a student, and scolded with a smile: "As long as you can settle the general's summons, it is not impossible for the old man to go to Taihang Academy to give a lecture." ”

"Is what Master Zheng said true?" He didn't expect that the other party would agree to him so easily.

"Do you think the old man is joking?" Zheng Xuan said very seriously: "Actually, carefully speaking, I have to thank Xingyu for helping the old man out of the siege, before leaving, the old man is ready to recommend someone to you, what do you think?" ”

After saying that, he looked at Sun Qian, who was serving tea, and when Su Chen saw this, he quickly agreed: "Then the student will thank the teacher." ”
