Shi Xun didn't have a good impression of Kong Rong in his previous life, because this guy made big speeches in vain, but he had no real talent - of course, his literary and artistic talents are very high, and his learning is not bad, but he is not suitable to be an official, because he has no ability to govern the local government or coordinate the center. If Kong Rong was simply loyal to the Han family, thus having a conflict with Cao Cao and eventually dying, he would still be a martyr, the question is how did you fight Cao Cao? If you have the ability, you come clearly, and if you have the determination, you run to assist Liu Bei, sneering at the next side in a weird manner, can you really hurt a single hair of Cao Cao?

Could it be that you really think that you can rely on this mouth to make Cao Cao angry to death?

But no matter what, Kong Rong is also the first stepping stone for his career, and he has always been good to himself, Shi Xun is not a cold-blooded animal, he is happy to see Cao Cao step on Kong Rong, but he doesn't want to see Cao Cao kill Kong Rong. Besides, his relationship with Kong Rong is so close, if Cao Cao really wants to kill Kong Rong in the future, how should he deal with it? People have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, it is better to find a way to save Kong Rong's life.

In addition, this is a task sent by Cao Cao, no matter how thin-skinned he is, it is impossible for Kong Rong to cover his ears, so he simply turned around and left, and never got involved in this matter again. So he was angry for a while, and when he got out of the gate of Confucius's mansion, the night breeze blew lightly, and his mind was a little clearer, and he immediately figured it out, Kong Rong didn't want to talk about politics with him, and he blamed himself, why did he come to worship in the name of Prime Minister Sizhi?

So he quickly turned around, and a second before the door of the house closed, he squeezed in again, take care of the door, you go and report again, don't mention my official position. It only said, "The Yingling scholars are honorable." Ask to see the old man" can also.

Menzi was confused. But he didn't dare to block Shixun's drive, so he hurriedly ran in to report. The time was not long, Kong Rong really came out again, grabbed Shi Xun's hand as he did just now, and said: "Night, is Hongfu from Beihai?" You can stay in the house. ”

It's Xunxin who said no, I just show an attitude, you don't have to be an old man from Yingling with me. I haven't seen you for many years, and you've come from afar to speak, right? Did you really drink too much? Want to act? Okay, then I'll act with you. So he took out his hands and took a deep look: "Since I have been saying goodbye to Kong Gong for a long time, I am thirsty and thirsty, and I will come to worship at night, and I will be forgiving." In fact, what he said was right, he had been touring Haizhou and Xuzhou before, and he had indeed not seen Kong Rong for a long time.

Kong Rong laughed "haha", and was about to let Xun enter the inner room. The host and guest sit down. Shi Xun originally thought of a rhetoric, but first asked Kong Rong why he was angry with Cao Cao. With this as a starting point, he reminded Kong Rong that he would be killed, and he went south to avoid the disaster. But when he came out just now, it was not easy to say this, he turned his mind and asked: "I heard that Kong Gong is a new son, so I came to congratulate him." ”

Kong Rong is nearly middle-aged, has always had only one daughter, married to Taishan Yang, until he was in his forties, his wife died of illness, and after the continuation of the string, he gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another - and finally died at the same time as Kong Rong, one was nine years old, and the other was only seven years old. But at this time, the youngest daughter had not yet been born, and she had a son, who was only two years old.

Hearing Shixun mention his son, Kong Rong couldn't help but twist his beard and smile: "Hongfu has a heart." I thought that there would be no heirs in the end, and I was quite relieved and thirsty when I got old. Do you want to call the insiders to take a look at Hongfu? ”

Shi Xun nodded, and then as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked: "Since you are allowed to give it to Xun, you should be the first to watch." ”

Kong Rong was taken aback: "Who gave Yu Qing what he said?" "I finally gave birth to a son, who said I was going to give it to you!

It was Xun who sighed and replied: "Kong Gong treats Xun kindly, Xun can't be Gongsun Pestle, only Cheng Yingye." Kong Gong rest assured that Xun will raise his son to adulthood. ”

Kong Rong twisted his eyebrows, and immediately sank his face: "Hongfu is here, because Yan Cao Gong wants to kill me?" "You compare yourself to Cheng Ying, and ask me for a son, that is to compare me to Zhao Shuo, listen to what you mean, Cao Cao wants to kill me?

Shi Xun shook his head lightly: "Although Gong Cao did not say that he wanted to kill Kong Gong, what Gong Gong is doing today, riding a blind horse like a blind man, and approaching the deep pool in the middle of the night, he is afraid that Gongzi will also be killed." How can we pay for it first, so as to avoid great disasters in the future? ”

Kong Rong flicked his sleeves and said, "Am I afraid of death?" But what sin have I to do, and what will I do with my wife and children? Although Cao Gong is violent, he only killed me alone, and my son is in trouble? ”

Shi Xun smiled coldly and said, "Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?" ”

In fact, this idiom came from Kong Rong's son. In the original history, when Cao Cao killed Kong Rong, he saw that his children were too young to be implicated, and they were temporarily fostered in someone else's home. The two children honestly played chess with each other, and someone asked, "Aren't you scared that your father has been arrested?" The two replied, "Ann has a nest destroyed but the eggs are not broken?" "We're going to be the same thing, what's the use of being afraid? When Cao Cao heard about it, he simply sent them on the road together.

Kong Rong and Cao Cao are fighting, naturally they will not be without psychological preparation for being killed, in his mind, anyway, he already has a son, he is not afraid of cutting off the heir, so there is no regret in dying. Now when I heard Shi Xun say this, I couldn't help but feel cold, and I was stunned there, unable to say a word for a long time.

It was Xun who observed his words and looks, and said in his heart that he was okay, and he could start to persuade. So he said sincerely: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Xun Gu knows that there is no way to say that Kong Gong is from Cao Gong, but on the other day, Kong Gong is killed, Xun will follow Zhu Bohou to bury Chen Zhongju and hide his son." Ran Xun is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is easy to bury the public but it is difficult to hide the son, although he is sincere, he is afraid of disagreement. Kong Gongdu doesn't pity the young son? If you don't want to stoop to Cao Gong, why not run away from trouble? The first saint has a cloud: 'The way is not good, and the sea floats on the pole.' 'Nor will he fall into the ambition of the clouds. ”

Kong Rong's face was gloomy, and he said viciously: "I am afraid to exercise my own power, I am afraid that I am like Wang Mang in the past, in order to try the Han family's society, I can't bend down to things, but I don't want to avoid it." If I go, who will help the Son of Heaven? The world will count me as a coward. ”

Is Xun Xin saying that with you in the court, Cao Cao will have scruples and dare not usurp the Han? You feel too good about yourself, you think of yourself too much. continued to persuade: "Shen Sheng died inside, and the heavy ears were all on the outside, but the society of Jin was finally heavy on the ears, and from it away like an uncle and a prisoner, how could he be afraid of the dead?" "If you don't necessarily escape from Xudu, you won't contribute to the Han Dynasty, and you won't necessarily be seen as a cowardly evasion.

Kong Rong crossed his hands in front of him and rubbed them vigorously, expressing his inner anxiety and fear. After pondering for a long time, he asked Shixun: "Hongfu said this, do you want me to avoid Jingzhou or Shuzhong?" ”

It was Xun who talked about the experience of Duke Wen of Jin, and compared Kong Rong to Hu Yan (uncle), the hero of Duke Wen's restoration of the country, implicitly implicitly that Kong Rong defected to a clan to restrain Cao Cao from outside. But now that there are many vassal kings surnamed Liu, it is good to be able to avoid freezing and discouragement, who else is so powerful that they dare to fight Cao Cao? As for the clan in the secession area, there are only three people, Liu He, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang - Liu He doesn't need to think about it, he is being controlled by Yuan Shao and attacked by Karasuma, I am afraid that the day will not be safe. Therefore, Kong Rong asked, are you going to vote for Liu Biao, or are you going to vote for Liu Zhang?

Shi Xun nodded and said: "Gongguo is also a smart person - why not go to Jingzhou Liu Biao, there are three can and three benefits." ”

Kong Rong said that he would like to hear about it. Shi Xun explained: "In the past, Liu Biao worshiped the world in the suburbs, and planned to reprimand the public opinion, and the court wanted to punish him, and Kong Gong asked to hide this matter, which was kind to the table, and he could also ...... it" Kong Rong didn't say anything good to Liu Biao, but his opinion was that Liu Biao was a clan, and if he declared his guilt, on the one hand, the face of the court would not be good-looking, and on the other hand, it would be easy to force the other party to jump off the wall in a hurry, so ...... He didn't really rebel, so let's just treat this matter as if it didn't exist, and it shouldn't be hyped up. But this is actually a favor for Liu Biao, so it is Xun who said that you are kind to the table, if you are like-minded, Liu Biao will definitely welcome it.

Then he said: "Zhao Weiqing died in Jingzhou, and the imperial court routinely sent ministers to hang, and Cao Gong ignored this matter, it was his ......negligence" In fact, it was not Cao Cao's negligence, but it had been discussed with Shi Xun, and Kong Rong had to do this work, so he had to wait until Xun persuaded Kong Rong first, and then he could mention this matter-" Why didn't Kong Gong ask for a decree to do it, it was to avoid Cao instead of fleeing Cao, and he could also ...... "You ask for a business trip and leave Xu Du, which is justified, it is not like escaping Cao Cao, and it will not attract the criticism of others."

"Liu Zhang is weak, and Shu can't vote; Liu Biao is an old Confucian, corporal Lixian, although Jing Nan is opposed, Zhang Xian is also dead, Zhang Yi is not enough to be troubled, and he can vote for Liu Biao's third. ”

Kong Rong nodded, and asked again: "These three can be known to me, what are the three benefits?" "What's in it for me to vote for Liu Biao?

Shi Xun smiled slightly, and began to lie all over the sky: "You can avoid Cao Gong, avoid the disaster of killing, older than Gongzi, and return to the old county, even if the prince is still martyred, it is not difficult for Gongzi to hide, this is one of them...... "You can't avoid Cao Cao for the rest of your life, I will ask you to go to Jingzhou for a few years, and when your son is older, send him back to his hometown." Childe is in Xudu, if something happens, even if I don't have the ability to harbor him, I have to go back to my hometown, then "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly". You want to be a martyr at that time, whatever.

"You can help Liu Biao and merge with Liu Zhang, thinking that the feudal screen is the trend and restrains Cao Gong. I thought that Cao Gong had no second intentions, but I was afraid that others would instigate it, and if Er Liu was outside, there would be no such danger. "I don't think Cao Cao will usurp the throne, but I am really worried that he will be instigated and confused for a while, so you are assisting Liu Biao outside, with Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, Cao Cao will not dare to act rashly, he also has a reputation as a loyal minister, you can also let go of half of your heart, what's wrong?

Then, it was Xun who calmed down and raised three fingers: "The former Huang Zu killed Mi Zhengping, and Cao Gong hated Zhengping, so he didn't repay it, wouldn't Kong Gong cry blood?" If you have Liu Biao's trust, or you can avenge Zhengping, wouldn't it be beneficial? (To be continued......)
