Chapter VII, seeking a life and a country

The wedding was held in the summer and April of the fifth year of Yankang. Just after the wedding, two important people died suddenly.

The first is an important figure at the national level, the former Dazai Xun Yuxun Gongda, who died at the age of fifty-eight. Xun You felt that his condition had improved slightly in the early winter of last year - when Xun was marching to Liaodong, and he was finally released by Cao Cao to his hometown Yingyin, but he collapsed again before he went back, and then lingered on the sickbed for nearly half a year, and finally swallowed his breath. When Cao Cao heard the news, he was very sad and said publicly: "I have traveled with Gongda for more than 20 years, and there is no one to blame. He also said: "Gongda is a true sage, and the so-called 'gentleness and frugality can be obtained'." Confucius said, 'Yan Ping Zhongshan is good at making friends with people, and respecting them for a long time', and Gongda is his person. ”

So he posthumously named Xun Yu as the first class of the officer, called "Ye Xianggong", and only said the word "Cheng", and allowed the second son Xun Shi to attack the lord (the eldest son Xun Ji died early).

Even so, Cao Cao still felt that it was not enough to mourn Xun You's death, and asked the ministers to discuss, how could he add a little? It was Xun Xin who said that this is just Xun Gongda, if Xun Wenruo also died in the Wei Dynasty, Lao Cao, you still can't give him the title of king? Xun Yu was originally Dazai, and he was extremely a minister; In the new title system, the township is also the head of the different surnames, and the so-called "Ye Township" refers to the township in Ye County, which is a relatively wealthy place; According to the law, the word "Cheng" is "to establish a government for the people", and the evaluation is also very high...... How are you going to raise Xun You's worth?

In the end, it was Xun and Chen Qun who jointly played the game - after all, these two were the founders of the new title system, and they also participated in the construction of the new official system - with "Xun Wenruo was good and peaceful in the world, and assisted His Majesty Zhao to build Wei Ji." Achieve great achievements. Posterity can't match". He requested that the word "founding of the country" be added to his title and become "founding Ye Xianggong". This was a temporary move, and as the name suggests, only those who had become ministers before Cao Cao established the Wei state were eligible.

In other words, as long as Hongfu and Chen Changwen do not fall, they will have the opportunity to install this title after retirement or death in the future......

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered Shixun to personally go to Yingyin to announce the edict and sacrifice on behalf of the Son of Heaven. It took him more than half a month to make this trip, and he suddenly heard about it when he returned to Luoyang. Guan Jing, an important figure in his family, was also seriously ill and had reached the time of his death.

He hurriedly called the family doctor Xu Ke and asked Guan Jing what kind of disease he had, why can't you cure it? Xu Ke said with a bitter face: "This is a cold and a small illness, but Mr. Guan is old, his viscera is weak, and his life is about to end, so he can't be sick." Even if my teacher is there in person, he can't save ......" Even if you call Zhang Zhongjing, it's useless, this person's life will end. Even the gods can't save him from life - it's not that I'm low-minded, or unwilling to care.

Yes Hoon thinks about it too. Guan Jing is sixty years old this year, two years older than Xun You, and he didn't die until the year of "Ershun", which is not an untimely death-ah, I may have less than twenty years of life in this world, and it is really sad to think about it.

Originally, Xun was quite accustomed to the life of this life, but for the first time in the past ten years, he was desperately expecting: God, let me go back, back to the 21st century, as long as I don't get seriously ill, at least there is still hope for living to the age of seventy or eighty!

hurriedly went to visit Guan Jing, holding the old man's hand and sighing. It is said that he has come into contact with a lot of celebrities in this life, and those who are directly accepted as guests and disciples are also carried, but for more than ten years, he has always stayed by his side to assist him, but only this Guan Shiqi who has only left a few strokes in the history books.

Yes Xun sighed here, Guan Jing was lying on the sickbed, but he deliberately turned his face away from him. Shi Xun asked, "Why is Shiqi like this?" Is there any contempt for me? Guan Jing shook his head slightly: "No, Jing is a little thoughtful." "Yesun asked what were you thinking? Guan Shiqi turned his face and replied: "Nai Si Wu Qi, Shang Yingye." Then he said word by word: "Chu killed Wu Zi and used Wu Zimou, Qin split Shang Jun and used Shang Jun to govern, the country is always there, and people are dead, don't you sigh?" ”

Yes Xun said thank you, you're like this, and you're still thinking about me...... It's just that you're thinking too pessimistic, right? Guan Jing smiled bitterly: "The lord also tasted the clouds: 'People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries.'" 'Encore? "Yes Xun said okay, I'll think about this carefully, and come up with a way to prevent it as soon as possible-do you have anything else to say to me?

Guan Jing asked: "After Jing goes, who will replace him?" Does the lord have a belly? "Guan Shiqi is not only Xun's adviser, he is also in charge of the family's intelligence network in general, the former can find many people to form a staff team to replace him, and the latter must be handed over to a certain person, not the public. So who should we find to take over the intelligence network? Yes Xun shook his head and said I want to come and go, I can't think of the right person, do you have any recommendations?

Guan Jing sighed and said: "Kong Ming can be replaced, it's a pity that he doesn't have this intention, it's ......" Zhuge Liang can't stay in the mansion for a long time and be a courtier-"There may be people in the mansion who are wise and wise, but the relatives are not enough, and they ...... "Where can I find an intelligence leader who can be like me and is willing to hide in your shadow for the rest of his life, even if he is a smart person, he is not close enough, it is impossible to deliver this important task-" Please take charge of it. ”

Shi Xun shook his head slightly, saying that I really don't have the energy, and second, I don't have this endowment myself, so it is impossible for me to personally control the intelligence system - "Is there really no one else? "I'll have to think about what other famous conspirators in history can be used by me...... Or, transfer Sun Yanlong back? But everyone has already done the guard of Qiancheng County, are you really willing to give up your good future and run back to my house to nest?

Guan Jing looked at it and frowned, but couldn't help but smile: "Maybe there are others, I'm afraid the lord won't dare to use his ears." "Yes Xun hurriedly said that there is nothing to dare to, you say, who do you think of? Guan Jing let out a long breath and said three words: "Eldest son." ”

After Guan Jing's death, Shi Xun and Gongsun Zhan jointly played, requesting that he be posthumously awarded a dismissal, and finally got the "palace order" - the former Han Dynasty positions, at this time most of them became casual posts - Yes Xun was not enough, and donated 100 gold on his behalf, which was the title of "Shangxun".

After the burial of Guan Jing, Shi Xun called his son back into the study, and first asked him about his recent work and life - how often do you become on duty? Have you ever done it wholeheartedly? How's your relationship with the princess? Yes replied. The son's cavalry lieutenant is just a casual job. Occasionally, the forbidden army held a meeting, or the emperor traveled, and asked me to take a picture, and it was rare to have a turn in ten days, mainly to stay at home to study and practice martial arts......

It was Xun Xin who said don't talk about it, you have to be willing to study hard, Guan Si has already come over to show off to me, and it is estimated that there is more time to practice martial arts and socialize. And don't expose him.

Yes Fu said again. Of course, I didn't say anything about my relationship with the princess's wife. Princess Shanyang Daddy, you have also seen it, she is beautiful and virtuous, although she is not familiar with the way of running a family, but you can learn it slowly; She is a princess after all, and my son is not good at putting up a fight in front of her, and she respects each other like a guest, just like Daddy and my mother - Daddy, you said, this woman just has to be coaxed. Coaxed to be happy, naturally obedient. The family was thus reconciled.

It was Xun Xin who said that I am not afraid of you bullying the princess, I am afraid that you will be bullied or even controlled by the princess in turn......

"Princess Wen doesn't want you to drink more, but right?"

Yes, Fu's face turned red, and said yes, the princess said that it is easy to lose her words when she is drunk, and it is easy to make mistakes...... Then she doesn't know how much her husband drinks. However, my son is still as good as a stream, and he can use this as a reason to avoid being poured into me at the banquet.

Shi Xun originally thought of a set of words and questions, and wanted to test his son well, but as for that, suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, so he smiled and said: "My father and son have never drunk ......" is of course not allowed to drink before returning to adulthood, even after adulthood, when his father is present, he does not dare to drink more, and every time he takes a glass of wine politely, he only drinks this one. Yes Xun said, since you can't drink more outside because of the princess's admonition, it's better to have a drink with your father today.

So he ordered Gan's to rectify the banquet - it was to accompany the old lady, who still lived outside the city, and this time it was to assist Guan Jing's funeral, so he temporarily went to the city. This year is not like the future generations, the princess has a unique mansion, and the horse goes to see his wife is the same as going to work, and he has to pick a day, and he has to report first, so Princess Shanyang married is clan, and they live outside the city, Cao Cao doesn't mind.

The banquet is placed in the study, it is to pour a glass of wine for the father first, it is Xun who said that you don't have to be busy, between father and son, there are no outsiders, there are not so many rules, just let your mother Gan's pour the bar. Then he raised his glass and drank it all, and the bottom of the cup was brightened.

Gan Shi poured a glass of wine for Shi Fu, Shi Fu quickly took it with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, and then asked, Father, do you have anything on your mind, you are not a good drinker, how do you think of drinking with my son? Shi Xun sighed softly: "For the mourning of Guan Shi." When the soldier is dead, I am like losing my arm. ”

It is said that I have not had much contact with Mr. Guan, but it will be beneficial to ask for advice occasionally, and it is indeed a heavy guest of my family, but it is a pity that I am older...... first comforted Shixun a few words, and then said: "I feel that Deng Shizai also has a planner, but I regret to let it go." ”

Yes Xun said that Deng Ai is a general, but he is not suitable for the shogunate, Guan Jing is dead, I want to find someone to take his place, do you have any suggestions? He tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and proposed several names, but they were all rejected by Shixun one by one.

It is Xun's love for talent, which lies in putting it in the right position, which can not only benefit the country, but also give full play to its strengths and achieve personal careers, so those famous guests in the history books have been released one after another, and now they are staying in the house and following them are just some talents that have not been contained in history. Although Guan Jing also made a note in the history books, it was so brief, even Shixun didn't expect that this guy would be able to help him so much. Originally, Xiao Ji was suitable to take Guan Jing's position, and Guan Shi recommended Xiao Ji at first, and he also had this intention, but unfortunately the guy was both unpredictable and uneasy about his position, so Shi Xun had no choice but to let him go.

Now there is still a little fame around him, I'm afraid only Zhou Budo is left, but although the little guy is smart, he is extreme, and he is sharp, not Zuobi's talent. So even Fu didn't mention the name of Zhou Yuanzhi.

In the end, I had to sigh: "It's rare to be talented." "It's so depressing, it's better to drink a bar.

Yeshun drank cup after cup, and Yes Fu had to accompany him, and the time was not big, and both father and son were flushed. Shi Xun excused himself to go to the toilet, went out for a while, and when he came back, he urged his son to drink two glasses of wine in a row, and then suddenly said, I remembered Guan Shiqi's words before he died-"Chu killed Wu Zi and used Wu Zimou, Qin split Shang Jun and used Shang Jun to govern, the country is always there, and people are dead." "What do you think, son?

It's a pout, saying that this has nothing to do with "politics" and "planning" -- "His two sons are seeking the country but not their lives, and there are many sinners, so how can they not die?" ”

Yes Xun asked, so can you seek both the country and your life? Whether it is in power or changing the law, it will inevitably harm the interests of some people, and if you don't want to offend people, is that possible?

Shi Fu sneered: "It's not enough to kill it." Xiang Xiang envoy Shang Ying killed Gongzi and waited, why did he die?! (To be continued......)
