Shi Xun stayed in the courtyard for two days, and on the third day he went into the city to visit Cao De, who had given up the post of assassin of Yanzhou to his brother after Cao Cao took office as Sikong.

After the meeting, it was Xun who saluted respectfully: "Meet Cao Tingshi." Cao De grabbed his arm: "You and I are close friends, why bother?" Quick, quick, talk in the hall. ”

When the two took their seats, Shi Xun took out the letters of Cao Cao and Cao Zheng and handed them to Cao De. Cao De glanced at it roughly, put it aside first, and asked Shixun: "Is it okay for my son Anmin to be in the capital?" "Yes Xun said that Cao Anmin was good, but-" seems to be his eldest brother (Cao Ang), who is too honest, and he will not honor his father. ”

Cao De was stunned and asked, "Isn't it honest?" Shi Xun said with a smile: "Brother Zun is cunning, written on the face, the cunning of the king, deep in the heart." "Cao De said, how do you know that my son is not like his father, and he also hides his wisdom in his belly?

The two talked and laughed, and the topic gradually turned to Shixun's mission this time, and Cao De said, why are you running around all the time? I know that your true talent does not lie in this, so you should stay in Xudu and assist my brother well. It was Xun Xin who said that my real talent is to be able to foresee certain major events and exert a certain amount of influence, but with the change of historical trajectory, it is difficult to play any role anymore, and immediately smiled bitterly: "This is all fate...... Although, Cao Gongmu is equipped with Chinese martial arts, and An uses Yixun? ”

Cao De shook his head again and again, and said: "When it comes to martial affairs, there are brothers Zixiao, Zilian, Yuan Rang, and Miaocai, so they naturally have no worries. When it comes to literary affairs, Xiaoxian (Mao Jue) is too straightforward, Zhongde (Cheng Yu) is very different from people, and as for Guo Jia, his heart is unpredictable, and I don't like it. "It's Xun Ting who wonders, why do so many people have a bad impression of Guo Jia? I don't think he's unkind or wanton, why is he so hated?

He asked Cao De: "Is it to forget Wenruo (Xun Yu) and Gongda (Xun Yu)?" Cao De sneered: "The Xun clan has someone in Hebei." ”

Yes Xun said that it would be better for you to join the promise and help your brother. Cao De shook his head again and again, leaned a little closer, and said in a low voice: "The most credible person in the world is the first to be a brother, and then when you know each other, you are friends in trouble, and the three are not yu, and your own brother is even later." Shi Xun smiled and asked, "Brother is like this, how about father and son?" Cao De pouted: "Parents are the most trustworthy, and children are also, and children are the least trustworthy; The most unbelievers of children are also parents, and parents are the most trustworthyβ€”and this is probably the case in the world. ”

Ah, it was Xun Xin who said that Cao Qu was sick and you were deep, this sentence can be used as an aphorism and epigram that has been passed down through the ages!

Back at Shijiazhuang Courtyard, Shixun stayed for two more days, and then separated from Guan Si with tears and set off for Qingzhou. Before leaving, he took care of Si and said that when I returned from Qingzhou, I also passed here from Juancheng, and the weather must have warmed up at that time, so I took your mother and son back to Xudu - although it is a new capital, it will definitely become more and more prosperous, and the medical conditions will surpass Juancheng, and my son lives there, I am both comfortable and reassured.

He traveled northeast from Juancheng, crossed Dongping, Jibei, and Mount Tai, and recalled that day he protected the father and son of the Cao family in reverse, and at that time he was still a white body, and in just a few years, he was ranked a thousand stones, which was really like a world away. But he didn't go to Lang Evil again, mainly because he didn't plan to touch Liu Bei, but went north from Laiwu to Qi State, and then turned to Beihai.

Zheng Xuan's hometown is in Gaomi County, Beihai Kingdom, southeast of Yingling. Shixun didn't return to Yingling, after all, it was not his real ancestral hometown, so he had no feelings, but went straight to Gaomi from Zhu Xu to Anqiu and Chang'an. Probably walked cautiously along the way, so he did not encounter thieves, and as long as he played the banner of "angel" in the counties and townships, no one stopped him - no matter what, the Yuan family still respected Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty on the surface, and Yuan and Cao had not officially torn their faces.

In February, after crossing Weishui, there is Gaomi County in front. He summoned a herald to inquire about the situation, and the herald told him that Mr. Zheng Kangcheng would give a lecture at his home in the west of the city every five or ten days, and hundreds of disciples and thousands of people from the four towns came to listen to the lecture. It was Xun Xin who said that you are an uninformed guy, an unprecedented fart, according to historical records, Zheng Xuankai said, at most, there were tens of thousands of people attending the meeting, you haven't caught up with that good time.

He rested in the house for four days, and before dawn on February 20, he left behind the chariot and honor guard, changed into a regular uniform, took only Sun Wen with him, and rode straight to Zheng's house - Lu Su had already said that he would not go for the time being, so he did not get up yet. Yes Xun wanted to listen to Old Master Zheng's lecture first, and then inquire if he had any plans to go out of the mountain, so he was not in a hurry to announce the conscription. If Zheng Xuan doesn't plan to go to Xu, he will have to put in a little effort to lobby first, don't wait for the edict to be announced, and be rejected by the other party on the spot, then he won't be able to come to the stage.

The two of them quickly ran in the direction of Gaomi, and the more they walked, the more people around them, and after a little questioning, they were all going to listen to Zheng Xuan's lectures, not only scholars, gentlemen, but even many peddlers and pawns were also mixed in. People say that Mr. Zheng adheres to Confucius's idea of "education without class", and no matter his identity or status, as long as he is willing to attend classes, he welcomes all of them. Yesun didn't need to ask for directions, followed the flow of people, and soon came to Zheng's house.

Originally, I thought it was a village, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be just more than a dozen grass houses, and there were many temporary shacks outside, probably where the disciples of Zhengmen lived. The lecture was held in Lutian, which seemed to be the yard of a farmer's house, and there were some hay and fork rakes piled on one side, and there were merchants selling seats, drinking water, and snacks on the spot.

Shi Xun rented a straw mat for ten dollars, squeezed into the crowd, found an open space to spread out, and sat down side by side with Sun Wen. Although the peddlers and pawns can all listen to the lectures, people still naturally divide the ranks, the innermost circle is the disciples of the Zheng Sect, the second circle is the high-grade scholars with mats like Xun, and the outer circle is the Hanmen scholars who wear long shirts but have no straw mats, and the outermost circle is the common people in short shirts.

By this time the sun had risen, and after a short time, more and more people gathered, but it was in good order, and no one was noisy. When it was about the end of the hour, I heard someone beating the gong in the circle, and the audience was immediately silent, and then two disciples supported an old man and staggered over.

It is Xun who looks at it intently, this old man has white hair, his waist and back are slightly bowed, and his feet seem to be inflexible, but his spirit is still good - it is estimated that the famous Zheng Xuan Zheng Kang has become. The old man came to the center of the circle, sat down on his knees, and without any opening remarks, he opened his mouth and began to preach. Probably because his voice was too low, the people in the outer circle couldn't hear it clearly, so there was also a disciple with a loud voice next to him who helped convey it in unison-

"Today, when we talk about "Poetry", the beginning of "Poetry" is "Guan Ju". What does Fuziyun's "poem" mean by 'happiness but not yin, sadness but not sadness'? Looking at "Guan Ju", it can be seen that that the lady is happy, and thinks that the gentleman is good, not yinqise. Sleeping, mourning the way of the husband, not this person, not to hurt his love, but also ......"

Shi Xun listened, glanced at Sun Wen obliquely, and said: "Your voice is much louder than that guy, you can do this job appropriately." ”

Zheng Xuan spoke for more than half an hour in one breath, and drank water twice in the middle and took a few breaths. It was Xun Xin who said that this old gentleman was still full of energy, and he couldn't go to Xu because of illness before, so it should all be an excuse. Even if he is sick, it is a heart disease, not a physical disease.

Zheng Xuan's lectures are good, but the basic content is that many of Xuntong's later articles have also been understood, and I haven't heard anything special. As for Sun Wen, he started to doze off after listening to it for less than ten minutes, and Shixun had to stab him often to prevent him from snoring too loudly and making noise to others. Finally, when Zheng Xuan finished speaking, and was supported by the disciples to return to the grass house outside the courtyard, Shi Xun stood up and looked left and right, wanting to find a disciple of Zheng Men to talk to and ask about the situation.

But before he could find the right person, someone came to the door first. I saw a young man in white approaching: "This gentleman is very raw, but is it the first time you have come to listen to Mr.'s lecture?" Shi Xun returned the salute and said: "Occasionally passing by Gaomi, I heard Mr. Kang Cheng preach the scriptures, so I came to study." The other party signed up: "Just Le'an, what do you call Mr.?" ”

Shi Xun casually reported Sun Wen's name, and then asked, "Is it possible that Sun studied under Mr.?" What is the geometry of the bundle? Ren Yi looked him up and down a few times, smiled and said, "If you want to listen to Mr. preach, you can come every five or ten days." If you want to worship under Mr., you must always pass on the scriptures. Shi Xun hurriedly said: "Wen used to be in Xuzhou in the past, asking Mr. Sun Gongyou for benefits...... Ren said: "It turned out to be a disciple of Senior Brother Sun, so you can get started." Mr. doesn't restrain himself, he just ......"

What did Xun Xin say, no tuition? It's new. But after the word "just", what turn are you going to make? I saw Ren Yan beckoning to him: "This is not the place to talk, Brother Sun can come with so." ”

He took Shixun and Sun Wen to leave the courtyard and came to a shack, and waited for the two sides to sit down before he slowly spoke: "Brother Sun will listen to the reason first. Mr. used to be in Gaomi, and also had an industry, but the yellow scarf was raging, and he was forced to move to Langxie, although he had to return, the property was lost, as my brother saw, only a few grass houses remained. Yuan Qingzhou (Yuan Tan) once invited him warmly, but Mr. was only willing to apprentice in his hometown, and was unwilling to go out, and only Yuan Qingzhou, Wang Zhi and others sent people to ......"

It was Xun Xin who said that the "Wang Zhi" you mentioned is probably my old acquaintance Wang Xiu. I only listened to Ren Yan and continued: "There are tens of thousands of disciples of Mr., most of them are scattered, only I am a few hundred, and there are many people who leave their homes and businesses to follow Mr., and the food is not enough. Therefore, we copied the scriptures annotated by Mr. and sold them - if Brother Sun has more than enough money, please buy some copies of the scrolls, and if the resources are insufficient, after getting started, he should also copy them with me. ”

It was Xun Xin who said that I didn't want to copy books, but I really didn't have much money with me...... Hey, what was I thinking? I didn't really plan to go to Gaomi to get started and study, so I changed the topic and asked Ren Yi: "I heard that the imperial court once sent an envoy to recruit Mr., why did Mr. refuse to do it?" If you are allowed to become an official, the resources must be sufficient. ”

Ren sighed softly and replied, "One, Mr. is old, I am afraid that he will not be able to trek through the mountains and rivers; Second, Mr. is willing to pass on the scriptures, and Ya is unwilling to be an official. ”

Shi Xun smiled: "Brother Ren is wrong." The learning of Mr. is flourishing in the world, but it is not valued by the imperial court. If you have to enter the permit, so that Yu Taixue will speak, the scriptures can be passed on, why bother with Sangzi and curl up in a corner of Gaomi? ”

Ren Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Taixue preaching, how can I have a position for Zheng Xue?" ”

Shi Xun cut to the point step by step: "I heard that the imperial court has returned to the east, and there is no one in ten doctors of the Five Classics, if I can take this opportunity to make the imperial court accept ancient scriptures, put doctors, enter Taixue, and carry forward what Mr. taught, wouldn't it be the best one?" ”

Ren Yan arched his hand: "Brother Sun Hongzhi, Ren Yan admires." However, it is easier said than done, but this matter is ......" Shixun asked: "Although it is easy to say that it is difficult to do, but if you don't do it, you will not get anything." I don't know if among the disciples of the Zheng Sect can try this matter? ”

Ren Yan glanced at him curiously: "We really can't do this. I don't know what Brother Sun is like? It was Xun Xiong who smiled faintly: "I can." (To be continued)
