As expected, Fu Chen came to apologize to Shixun, or more accurately, to clear up and set up.

Fu Moyan is the host of the residence, so he must also express himself when he is disturbing the guests at today's banquet; Especially in the first place, he introduced Wei Wei to Shi Xun, if he didn't quickly figure out the relationship between himself and Wei Wei, and provoke Shi Xun's anger, the future trouble would be big.

Fu Chen said that in fact, he had no relationship with Wei Wei, but he had just heard of his name. Wei Wei has traveled to the north and south of the Yellow River in the past few years, and it is said that there are many young and young followers from all over the world, so when Liu Wei, who had a one-sided relationship, came over, hoping that he could arrange a seat for Wei Wei at the banquet, Fu Moyan agreed without thinking - "If you know that you are such a fool, you must not allow others to disturb it." ”

Yes Xun is a large number of adults, and he didn't take it to heart, but comforted Fu Chen, so he didn't have to feel guilty because of it. In fact, Fu Yan is familiar with this kind of scholarly family, and it is also a force that he tries to suppress and even eradicate, but now that there are no officials (the Han Dynasty servants are just shaking their majesty in front of Chen Yi and them, it is really useless), and it is unwise to force me to meddle in such matters. If he changes places with Zheng Hun and is in front of the magistrate of Henan, maybe he will really take advantage of this opportunity to raise a big prison and wipe out the heroes and powers of the place where he is feasting today.

I don't know what step Zheng Wengong can do again......

After finishing Fu Chen, he asked Shixun for advice on the scriptures, and his words went around and around, it turned out that he wanted to participate in the next round of the imperial examination. It is said that although Fu Chen had the ambition to be a Wei official, he was unfortunately not allowed to enter the door - with his background, ordinary bureaucrats did not dare to summon him as a guest, but his own reputation was not big enough for the secretary to conquer Cheng Dù. It's really high and low; Henan is not Wei soil. If you want to use your own name, you can refer to it. Neither can he save that face, and on the premise of not having a positive score, he does not have the confidence to inevitably pass the test.

But now that Cao Wei is becoming more and more powerful, if he doesn't hurry up to hug his thick legs, he really waits for Wei to replace Han and then seeks to enter the office, I'm afraid he won't be in a hurry - good officials will be occupied by the old Wei officials. So he asked Shi Xun about when and where the next imperial examination will be? You have been the main examiner. For the scope and skills of answering questions, may enlighten the villain?

Shi Xun casually said a perfunctory word, and finally sent him away, and Yichen took his leave and set off. Fu Zhi also knows things, but in the name of the ancestral road, he offered 5,000 yuan and refined rice - I heard that the public likes to eat rice, which is produced by my family, so that it can be eaten on the road.

It's just that from then on, Shixun no longer dared to go to banquets everywhere, passing through the county. Don't enter the city, meet protégés, old officials. I just talked to each other briefly, and I didn't see anyone who had anything to do with him. I didn't say anything all the way, and I traveled to Tan County to see the time, and it was autumn.

Since Cao Hong left his post, he lived in seclusion in the village courtyard on the outskirts of Tan County, and he had already been repaid, so that the slaves were greeted ten miles away and the group was let into the village. Cao Miao was overjoyed to see his eldest uncle, and Shi Xun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and when he looked up, he saw that the old man's beard was already gray, and he looked a little depressed, and he no longer had the arrogant appearance when he was in charge of state affairs and fought with Lu Zhu.

Cao Hong let his wife, father and daughter into the main hall and set up a banquet to catch the wind - this is really a family banquet, Cao Miao said that the girl is still young and should not have a banquet, Cao Hong pouted: "In my family, I am the master." "Come on, both of you children come and sit with grandpa.

Cao Zhonghui is alone, his second son died young, his old wife also died, and he has no grandchildren, only two concubines have been by his side to serve him - this is also the reason why he loves Cao Miao so much. Therefore, I met Shixun's two daughters today, and it is normal for people to love each other.

And according to the etiquette law, Gan Yu is the concubine of Xun, and she should not go to the hall to eat together, but she is Tao Qian's relative after all, Cao Hong thought of the grace of the old master, and still insisted on asking her to accompany her in the last seat.

Of course, there were only some homely words at the banquet, and when the wine was enough and the food was full, Cao Hong called Shixun into the inner room alone and asked him in detail about the affairs of the Wei State. Shi Xun said whatever he thought of, and fully introduced the time of a meal, Cao Hong always hung his head, twisted his beard and was silent, as if he was asleep, and finally raised his head slightly, glanced at Shi Xun, and asked in a low voice: "In the eyes of Hongfu, Cao instead of Liu, but what?" ”

Yeshun said that there is nothing to do, and now it is only a matter of time and timing that needs to be considered - "The situation is so immutable." ”

Of course, there is nothing in this world that is destined to be unchangeable, and since history has been tampered with, there may suddenly be some demon moth, which will make everyone dumbfounded - for example, Cao Cao hung up in advance, did not set up an heir, and then several sons ganged up and started a civil war......

If a similar situation really occurs, I'm afraid it will be the Liu family who will have the last laugh - of course it is not Liu Xiezhi, but Liu Beizhi.

Cao Hong listened to Shi Xun's words, nodded slightly, and then said: "What I see is the same, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it is not expected to be five years away - then Hongfu should leave Wei at this time, it is not appropriate." ”

Shi Xun was slightly stunned, and said I told you very clearly, this time I resigned, mainly to avoid Kong Rong's possible killing, and also to avoid the Cao family's sons fighting, temporarily retreating to the wall to watch, not just quit - he really has nothing to hide from Cao Hong, one is his wife's eldest uncle, and on the premise that he is actually out of the family, he can be regarded as the closest relative; Second, Cao Hong is different from his brother, he is really wise, and the name of "slanderous villain" is not called in vain; Third, Cao Hongye has lived in seclusion, does not ask about world affairs, and does not have the slightest political conflict with himself.

Cao Hong stroked his gray beard and pouted: "Meng De committed suicide Kong Rong, what happened to Guan Qing?" Ma Jichang bent over Liang Ji, and Zhou Ji had a 'brittle' hunger, and they were all Confucians. "I think that Ma Rong was forced to submit to the powerful minister Liang Ji back then, and was ridiculed by the times; Not to mention Zhou Ze, he fell ill in the palace when he was too often, and his wife was sent to the government for investigation because he was worried about going to visit, and the big guys thought that this prince was too extreme, and also made up a folk song and said: "Life is not harmonious, be too often a wife, one year old three hundred and sixty days, three hundred and fifty-nine days of fasting." "The two of you are still the great Confucians of the first generation, and they have left their names for eternity, why don't you allow a trace of dirt on your body?

"The sun and the moon have eclipses. Do not lose the sun and the moon; A gentleman is not at fault. His deeds must be hypocritical......" Zigong said: "The fault of a gentleman is also." Like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Yes, everyone sees it; What's more, everyone looks up to it. "Who can go without making a mistake? If it really looks like there is no fault, then it is certainly not a gentleman, it is a hypocrite—"If the king is powerful, the king will use it; Attached to the king's will, the situation must be stopped. What are you afraid of? "Are you afraid of offending Cao Cao? If you really have the talent that Cao Cao can use, he will definitely not abandon you; If you only know how to please Cao Cao. After the situation has passed, he may throw you at any time.

Ah, is this the "slanderous villain"? My understanding of the human heart is really profound. Shihoon couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But Cao Hong's words are not over: "Meng De also knows the destiny of heaven...... Cao Cao is also in his fifties, and the so-called "knowing the destiny of heaven" is the year - "Hongfu is still young, and he is worried about the future, not in Mengde, but in the heir." If you don't choose it now, you will have the worry of a different day - An You is watching on the wall, so that God chooses the reason of the king? This is not what Hongfu Suri did. "You're not a drifter, so how can you ask God to help choose the future lord?

Speaking of which. The words suddenly changed: "Hongfu, Qingqi is the Cao family." And not to be a conspirator? "You just think about the Cao family, why don't you think about your future?

When Shi Xun heard this, he was startled, and he couldn't help but raise his head and carefully observe Cao Hong's expression. I saw Cao Hong smile slightly, and lowered his voice again: "My family has been a Hanchen since Pingyang Xiangguo (Cao Shen), and now he will replace Liu, but he is not his descendant, but a eunuch, isn't it ridiculous?" Now that my brother has no queen, the right vein will be extinct, and the moth will follow him, that is, he will get the throne, where can I add it? "Speaking of which, Cao Cao's branch is just the adopted son of the moth, not the root of my Cao family, and their family is not the emperor, what does it matter to me?

"My brother has no queen, and he has left a line, and now he is from the clan, and he wants to raise his ears. Qing Du is not for the family's plan, but for the Cao family, which is even meaningless. "Our Zhenggen'er Cao family only left a daughter, and now that she is with you, whether she can be happy or not depends on you. But you don't think about your own family, but you want to think about Cao Cao's Cao family, is it interesting? Can I be happy?

After saying these words, the old man stood up: "I'm tired, Hong Fu thinks." "Ponder my words. Immediately left Shixun alone, threw off his big sleeves and left tremblingly, and went to wash and sleep.

Shi Xun couldn't help but spread his hands and sighed: "Oh, those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want!" "I can't talk to a villain like you......

He settled outside the city of Tanxian County. However, Cao Hong is not a relative of Xun's clan after all, if he lives in Cao's Zhuangyuan, it is for sojourn, and his identity is not attached. Fortunately, Cao Zhonghui has accumulated old officials, even if he has been out of office for many years, he still has his hands and eyes in Haizhou, and he has drawn the strings from it, so that Shixun bought a nearby village courtyard at half price, and the two families are only a few miles apart - the larger village is also the head of the village to the end of the village. Other purchases of land, hooked up with the local villages, workshops, his own fish he is responsible, is Xun Nai can lie high, day to read, entertainment for fun.

At the same time, the new center of the home intelligence network was also quickly transferred to Tan County, and Guan Shiqi was still in charge of it. Just over half a month later, two pieces of heavy news came:

First, Cao Cao planned to lay the foundation in the north of Anyi City, on the shore of the water, and planned to build a high platform, and the name was also prepared, which was called Tongque Terrace. When Xun heard the letter, he couldn't help laughing - I couldn't imagine that although the capital was changed, this stage was still successful, does this show that Cao Cao's arrogance is gradually rising, and his extravagance is long. He couldn't help but chant in a low voice: "Take the second Qiao in the southeast, and enjoy the ...... day and night" Pitiful, Cao Zijian has a good "Tongque Taifu", but he can still recite it now, but there are only two sentences that are forced into this romance......

Thinking about his return to his hometown this time, one avoids the possibility that Kong Rong will be killed, and the other avoids the Cao family's sons fighting for the heir, and now there are three avoidances, that is, to avoid the completion of Tongquetai. In the original history, Cao Cao summoned all the sons on the stage, so that each was endowed, and the wild history also said that the military generals were summoned, feasting, and competing for fun, if they were in Anyi, in case they were also called by Cao Cao, they didn't invite me to drink, but asked me to do a fu to see, how could it be good? !

Lao Tzu's flash was really timely. It's just that at the speed of the project in this year, which year and month will it be completed? But don't wait for a year or two to start the construction when I return to Anyi......

The second news is that Zheng Hun returned to Luoyang on the same day, and immediately tortured Wei Wei and Ren Lan, ordered him to confess to framing the minister of the state and slandering the king of Wei, and demanded to confess his accomplices. Wei Zijing's mouth is really hard, no matter what punishment you have, there is no piece of meat in the whole body, and he will not admit it to death. Fortunately, Ren Lan was a soft bone, and let Zheng Wengong rub and pinch the round, not only did he attract any crime, but also pulled out all his friends, including Liu Wei and Zhang Quan.

Zheng Hun immediately went to the court - he was not bold enough, he didn't pull out much, there were only about a hundred, and there were no heavyweights - the imperial historian Xi didn't dare to be self-conscious, but moved to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious, and immediately issued an order to behead Chen Yi, Wei Wei, Ren Lan, etc. As for their "comrades", those who had a backing were spared death, or exiled or forced labor, and those who did not have a backstage were all put to death.

It is said that because of this incident, even Emperor Liu Xie personally issued an edict to comfort Cao Cao, and said - this matter is really true, and it has nothing to do with me!
