Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Shixun went to Sikong Mansion to meet Cao Cao at dusk that day - he had finished his meal at home first, and the lackluster Cao family meal was exempt if he could.
I saw that Cao Cao was very busy, one hand was constantly waving his pen to review the official documents, and the other hand was still grabbing the wheat cake and filling it in his mouth. The doorman ushered Shixun in, he just raised his eyes and nodded slightly: "Hongfu is here, sit first." Then he went back to work.
finally stayed up until dark, Cao Cao finished eating, and the work finally came to an end, so he stood up and took the initiative to come to Shixun's side. The doorman spread out a copy of the map of China drawn by Shi Xun on the case, and Cao Cao got straight to the point: "The details of this time in the town of Fuguan must be explained by Hongfu. ”
Shi Xun has been gone for two or three months, and there is a fast horse to report the situation to the imperial court at any time, but the text on the official document is simple and provincial, and there are many internal facts that are inconvenient to say publicly - for example, he teamed up with Lu Bu and the others to force the Guanxi generals to rebel, etc., so Cao Cao had to ask him face to face to understand.
The two talked until midnight, and Cao Cao finally announced the dismissal of the meeting, saying, "Hongfu is tired from trekking, so let's go home early and rest." "It's Xun Xin who said what time it is, and you just remembered to let me go, seeing that I don't have much time and energy to satisfy the happiness of my lower body tonight...... But he still had something to say, and he waved slightly: "There is still something to ask the lord." ”
Cao Cao said that you said, it was Xun who reported: "Sima Yi, who is recommended in Cao Gong's curtain this time, had built a building when he passed through Luoyang with Xun, and since the imperial court reopened Taixue, it should set up the stone scripture again to benefit the students of the world." ”
He had to say this quickly, although he didn't intend to be greedy for Sima Yi's credit, but after all, he opened his mouth to tell Cao Cao, if things are done, there will always be a credit for himself; Sima Yi is already preparing to enter Cao Cao's curtain, in case he doesn't wait for himself to come up and speaks to Cao Cao first, then his family won't be able to share the credit at all.
When Cao Cao heard this, he lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment. Nodding slightly: "It's okay." "He himself is not very interested in scriptures, but standing stone carving scriptures, after all, this is not a small face project, it can add luster to the face of the imperial court, plus it takes a little manpower (or the power of scholars he usually doesn't use much), it may not cost much material resources, so if you want to do it, you can do it-" I will play the Son of Heaven tomorrow. Who does Kosuke think can take on this heavy responsibility? ”
Yes Hoon took the initiative to apply: "Hoon is willing to take charge of this matter." Cao Cao frowned. The heart said, do you really want to spend all your energy on the scriptures? That's a bit of a waste...... But after thinking about it again, anyway, Xun is now in the official residence, there is no clear terms of reference, and he is idle when he is idle, rather than being called into the palace by the emperor all day long to lecture on scriptures or poetry (just like when he was a councilor), it is better to be in charge of Shijing. Anyway, it's a big deal. Couldn't it be that he personally went to set the scriptures, write the scriptures in person, and copy the awl and carve the stone in person? If you want any other assignment, you can get him back at any time.
"That being the case, there is Lao Hongfu."
It was Xun Humility, saying that I am more than the lord, where can I count as hard work? But then he said: "Xun Cai returned to the capital." Cumbersome things are coming, and the lord is invited to play the Son of Heaven a few days later, and the right to rest with Xun for a few more days. Cao Cao laughed: "Just follow Hongfu, and go and rest." ”
Before going to see Cao Cao, Shi Xun originally planned to visit Taicang Ling Fan Pu the next day, and meet Zhuge Jin by the way, but who expected to be in the officialdom, it was up to anyone. He was just about to let the fish go to Fan's Mansion to say hello first, and a large stack of famous stickers came in outside, some wanted to visit, some invited to the banquet, and he was dazzled by Xun is dazzled - ah, we are really a celebrity now.
I wanted Wu Zhen to help deal with it, but I suddenly remembered that Wu Jizhong had already signed the Yan Ling order. I'm going to leave myself to go to work in the near future, forget it, don't bother him, let's let Wei Zhong be responsible for sending him to usher in this matter in the future. Immediately ordered the fish to him. handed over all the relevant matters to Wei Dan, and at the same time instructed: "I will return from a long journey, no one will see me today, no one will go to the banquet, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, according to their superiority and intimacy, come out in order." ”
Just kidding, on the first day of returning, of course, I had to go to Sikong Mansion to worship Cao Cao, and I couldn't see other officials first, which was a matter of political position.
But with such an order, Shi Xun didn't have time to visit Fan Pu for several days, but on the third day, Zhuge Jin came to the door by himself. On that day, Shixun happened to go to Kong Rong's mansion for a banquet, and asked Zhuge Jin to wait in the gatehouse for an afternoon, until the red sun fell in the west, and finally saw this red waiter.
As soon as Xun got out of the car and entered the door, he rushed forward to report that Mr. Zhuge was here. Shi Xun turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a thin man standing by the door—ah, is this Zhuge Jin with a face as long as a donkey? The appearance is not as weird as expected.
Zhuge Jin and Shixun are as old as each other - if you calculate according to Ah Fei's actual age, the other party may be slightly older than one or two years - is close to one meter eight, and his face is not only long, but also narrow, but his facial features are quite thoughtful, and his head and beard are all combed in a neat manner.
He saw that Shi Xun was looking at him, and hurriedly bowed his hand, and Shi Xun also returned the salute and asked, "Qing is Zhuge Ziyu?" Zhuge Jin hurriedly said "yes", and then said: "The villain sat for a long time, and finally saw the servant, and he was overjoyed." Shi Xun glanced at Yu He suspiciously, and Yu He said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhuge will be here in the afternoon." ”
"In that case, have you ever eaten a meal?"
Zhuge Jin lowered his eyelids and replied honestly: "Not yet." Shi Xun Yi frowned and scolded him angrily: "How can I not prepare wine and rice, is this my family's hospitality?!" ”
Yu He has been with his master and servant for many years, and he has long been familiar with the temperament of his master, and understands when it is the real fire and when it is the fire for others to see—for example, this time—so he hurriedly bowed down: "It's the villain's negligence, so I'll go and prepare wine and food to entertain Mr. Zhuge ." ”
Zhuge Jin hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "No need......" Shi Xun smiled at him: "I will go to change my clothes first, and I will have dinner in the hall, and I will come to accompany you later." ”
In the dignified service, after meeting each other, he didn't say a word to appreciate the meal first, and then he had to "come to accompany him", Zhuge Jin was really flattered. He said in his heart, do I have such a big face? Or is it as the second child said, he was in the middle of the service that day - oh, he was still engaged in it at that time - he was really optimistic about him, and he planned to take him directly to Yanzhou to study, and I was stained with the light of the second child?
He guessed this correctly, it was indeed stained with the light of his second brother Zhuge Liang, otherwise with today's identity difference, Shixun might not be so polite to him - the Jiangdong ministers in the original history, except for Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Zhang Zhao, there may not be anyone who can make the current Xun Jiejie hand.
Oh, the pure generals are not counted for the time being, otherwise, if Gan Xingba comes, Hongfu will probably take the initiative to make up.
It was Xun who ran to the back hall to change his clothes first, and he let Zhuge Jin go to the hall and told the servants to hurry up and buy wine and food. The time was not big, the food table here had just been served, and Shi Xun appeared in casual clothes, first bowed to Zhuge Jin, and then sat down on the main seat.
Zhuge Jin opened his mouth: "Take the liberty to come and worship, and please don't sin in the service." It's Xunxin who says this kind of cliché, so you don't need to say: "Please eat first, so-and-so has already eaten, so you will be accompanied by water." He looked at Zhuge Jin's expression a little restrained, and began to ask about some of the situation in the other party's home: "Qingzhou Langxie, a certain has been there, Brother Qing lives in Xiangyang, and a certain has also been to ......" He was originally a gossip master and an expert in clichés, and before Zhuge Jin finished eating, his intention was probed out.
It turned out that year was Xun was ordered to send an envoy to Jingzhou, and he saw the young Zhuge Liang in the Xiangyang School Palace, and encouraged him a few words, Zhuge Liang went back and said to his uncle Zhuge Xuan, and his brother Zhuge Jin, saying that this Yanzhou is engaged in real talent and real learning, if I grow up, I will visit him for advice. After finishing and building yì, I said that I am still young, if I want to travel thousands of miles, my uncle will not allow it, it is better for you to go to Yanzhou first to engage in the door.
Zhuge Jin laughed when he heard this, saying that you can see the other person, but I have never seen it, you feel that the other person is talented, but I think it may not be - it is rumored that what he said in the school palace is that he is in vain.
That's all I have to say, if the situation in the world does not continue to move forward, maybe it will be a long time before the Zhuge brothers and Shixun intersect. However, since it was Xun who ushered in Zheng Xuan in Qingzhou, asked the Son of Heaven to hire a doctor of the Five Classics, and reopened Taixue, all scholars in the world who were interested in learning were interested in Xu Du, and when the news reached Jingzhou, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but be eager to try. So he went to tell his uncle Zhuge Xuan, saying that I wanted to go to Xuchang to study in Taixue, but I don't know if my uncle can help?
In the Han Dynasty, there was no examination system, and the qualifications of officials, from the rank of officials to the qualifications of students, basically had to rely on "recommendation", that is, local officials or court officials recommended to the court and yamen at all levels. As for the Tai students, according to the old rules, they were selected by the magistrates, and they were sent to Beijing by bus, or they were directly appointed by the Taichang. Therefore, Zhuge Xuan frowned and replied to his nephew: "I heard that the imperial court has newly opened Taixue, and when the edict arrives, Liu Mu has not recommended anyone to go, how can I recommend you?" And now the king of the dynasty is too often (Wang Jiang), I have never had any contacts, and I have nothing to recommend. ”
Zhuge Jin told Zhuge Xuan that it was rumored that the rules had changed now. Because of the turmoil in the world, many regions are out of the control of the imperial court, so whether you are an official or a student, you can't choose a few people to come by relying on the old rules, so the court decreed that more than 2,000 stones can be recommended as a student - now half of the students in Taixue are disciples of Zhengmen, and theoretically it can be regarded as recommended by Zheng Xuan, a great farmer.
Therefore, Zhuge Jin asked: "My uncle and my late father knew each other in the past, but if you have an official residence of 2,000 stones, can you recommend your little nephew?" ”
Zhuge Brother's father, Zhuge Xuan, was an official to Taishan County, and his uncle Zhuge Xuan was an official to Yuzhang County, so it stands to reason that he should not know a 2,000 stone - if Zhuge Xuan is still in the county guard, he can recommend his nephew. However, the court has been turbulent for many years, and the high-ranking officials have changed one after another, Zhuge Xuan racked his brains, and he just remembered that an old friend Fan Pu was an official in the capital, and it was less than 2,000 stones.
Zhuge Liang came up with an idea next to him, saying that the one I used to talk about was engaged, and it is said that now Shi Chao is a speaker (his news is lagging behind, in fact, at this time he is already a Shaofu Cheng), and he is Cao Sikong's confidant, if he is willing to help, please recommend Sikong to you, isn't it very glorious? Zhuge Jin said that he was joking, people don't have any friendship with you, but it's just a one-sided relationship......
