In August of the first year of Jian'an, the day after the white dew, Sikong Cao Cao feasted guests and friends, from Taiwei Yang Biao and Situ Zhao Wen down, and Cao's friendly ministers and doctors all attended. It was Xun Xin who said that for such a grand banquet, Boss Cao would no longer have wheat cakes and vegetable soup, right? He happily drove there, but when he arrived at the gate of Sikong Mansion, he unexpectedly met an old acquaintance.

Immediately jumped out of the carriage and bowed: "When did Kong Gong arrive in Xuchang?" It turned out that the person was the former Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, who was holding on to Xun's hand at the moment, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "I only entered the city in the middle of the day, and I met Bi Tianzi, and Cao Gong sent an invitation, and before he had time to change his clothes, he came to the banquet - Hongfu, since Qingzhou, he has now flown high like a Peng, and even Rong is going to be stunned." ”

Shi Xun hurriedly thanked him and said that he didn't dare to dare, and asked: "Kong Gong is a great talent, and he must be reused." Now that you have been conferred the Son of Heaven, you don't know what position you have been given? Kong Rong replied: "Taiwan Province has not yet issued an edict, but it is speculated that the meaning of the Son of Heaven should be to be a master." Shi Xun couldn't help laughing and said: "Yuan Yaoqing (Yuan Lian) is not a talent for construction, the palace is not finished for a long time, and the Son of Heaven is angry." It is about to borrow the talents of Confucius to complete the new capital as soon as possible. ”

The two held hands, talked and talked, and stepped inside. A small official from Sikong Mansion had already greeted him and arranged seats for them - Kong Rong was originally two thousand stones, if he really became a master craftsman, it would also be two thousand stones, but Xun was only six hundred stones, and the seats of the two were quite far apart.

It was Xun Xin who said that it was right, he and Kong Rong were familiar with each other, but in fact, they really didn't have any common language, and if the whole banquet was forced to sit next to Kong Rong, it would be too boring. looked left and right at the moment, and saw that his head was Fu Jieling Dong Zhao. The next one is empty for the time being. And then there's the Sikong Mansion Master Bookkeeper Wang Bi - very good. They are all their own people, and they can talk, but they don't know who the empty seat belongs to?

Before the sun set, the guests were basically all together - only the host Cao Cao, as well as the guests of honor Yang Biao and Zhao Wen met in the back hall to talk, and they would not come out until the end. It's just that the seat of the head of the Hoon is still empty, so it's strange if it's Hoon. Who is so big that it is too late? Or is there something that can't be done temporarily? Well, if there is no one to be seen after the feast, we will beckon the king to go forward and make it easier to speak.

Listening only to the greeting of the little official, Cao Cao pulled Yang Biao with his left hand and Zhao Wen with his right hand, and turned out of the back hall together. It's strange when Shixun takes a look. There was a young man behind the third prince, who was quite handsome. The complexion is especially fair, just like Xun Wenruo. I saw that the three princes all went to the top and sat down, but the young man came to him with his hands arched...... Ah, yes, he sat down, and sat down under himself.

Shi Xun naturally wanted to ask: "Unripe feet respect, please ask." The young man smiled slightly, and returned the salute without being humble or arrogant: "Don't dare, my father is a captain, and I just Huayin Yang Xiuzi Dezu, please consult Your Excellency......"

Ah, it turned out to be Yang Xiu, who has been famous for a long time - I think I still took his name back then - this is the first time we have met. But it's also strange, why did he follow Sangong out? Cao Ang didn't follow behind Cao Cao, and Zhao Wen's son-in-law didn't follow either, why did he follow? Oh, presumably Yang Biao brought his son to greet Cao Cao, and maybe asked Cao Cao to take care of him, a smart boy, so we have been talking until now.

nodded at the moment: "Yingling is Xun." ”

"It turned out to be Yilang," I didn't expect Yang Xiu, this kid to be quite interested in himself, "I have heard for a long time that Yilang is good at poetry and writing, and he is familiar with the 'Five Classics', and he overwhelmed the Hebei sages with a "Don't Fu" in Yecheng, and he debated the scriptures in Xiangyang with difficulty Yingzi Yan and Song Zhongzi, and I can see it today, how fortunate is it?" ”

Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "It's mostly false, it's not worth mentioning - where did Dezu come from?" I've never had a chance to see it. "If you follow your father to Xuchang, it's been nearly half a year, and there's no reason why I haven't seen you. Yang Xiu hurriedly said: "Before I was studying abroad, I only entered Xu to visit relatives, and I had to show filial piety, except for Lang Zhong - in the future, I will also ask Lang Lang to give me more advice." "Lang Zhong is more than 300 stones, and he is also a subordinate officer of Guangluxun, and he can be regarded as a colleague of Xun.

As he was talking, he heard Cao Cao coughing with phlegm, and immediately ...... All the officials pressed the sound, and they all pricked up their ears to listen. Cao Cao said that on the day of worshipping the gods in August, the moon was also perfect, so he summoned hundreds of officials to feast and drink and admire the moon, hoping that everyone would cooperate wholeheartedly from now on and work together for the imperial court...... It's a good leader's speech. Cao Cao finished speaking, it was Yang Biao's turn, and then Zhao Wen - this set is Xun's first time listening to it in this life, but he was tired of hearing it in his previous life, so he just put on a correct posture and smiled, in fact, his left ear went in and his right ear went out.

Finally, Zhao Wen finished speaking, and returned to Cao Cao in a circle - he is today's master, so he naturally has to say a few more words. Fortunately, Cao Cao is not a person who likes nonsense very much, but said: "Cao Wenqing and others were in Anyi with the Son of Heaven before, and they were coerced by the rebels, and they had no resources......

During the banquet, there were a few sighs, presumably because the officials who had experienced those miserable days felt it.

It's a very happy day when Xun Xin said, why are you talking about this? I want to remind the big guys: Who rescued you from starvation? Who brought you to Xuchang to eat fragrant and spicy food? Don't forget to dig the well when you drink water, don't let me down Cao Cao! That's what it means, right?

I only listened to Cao Cao's words: "Although I have to be at peace with Xu today, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I can't forget the past." Cao has always been thrifty, and he has less meat and fishy every day, and the only two meals are wheat cakes and vegetable soup...... "It's Xunxin who said no, you won't take those things out today, right?" Then listen to itβ€”"Although there is a great feast today, the promised grain is not sufficient, and it is not allowed to be extravagant. Coarse mussels, if there is something inconsiderate, please forgive me. "It's Xun Xin who said that it's best for you This is just a kind word, and I don't expect to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas here, as long as you don't be too plain, then you will be satisfied.

When the dish was served, it was Xun who saw that it was really not good, so he could barely eat it. The first dish is a big mixed dish, the second is roasted wild geese, the third is fish sorrel, the fourth is roasted dog preserved meat, and there is a big pot of vegetable soup - it is Xun Xin who said that in addition to the wild geese are not very easy to get, this is not much different from my family's daily food.

The staple food of the banquet is rice and bean porridge, all of which are enough, but because of the lack of food. So each person was given only one ou of wine. Don't let you drink too much.

Cao Cao gave an order. At the beginning of the banquet, he first mentioned that everyone raised a glass together for the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and then began to eat their own food and have their own small meetings. Shixun has no interest in this kind of grand banquet, and the big banquet is never as good as the small banquet, whether the small banquet is good for talking about the world and the relationship. It's still a little fun, but what about this feast? I can't even drink enough wine, so what's the trick to play with?

At the moment, while eating, he chatted with Yang Xiu, Wang Bi, Dong Zhao and others. The room was full of court officials, and the third prince was sitting on it, and he was not allowed to drink too much wine, so the atmosphere could not be warm. Cao Cao probably also discovered this problem, and immediately greeted Kong Rong first, chatted a few words, and suddenly raised his voice: "Wenju is a poet of the world, and today he is feasting." Ann has no poetry, huh? ”

It was Xun Xin who said that fortunately, there was Kong Rong as a shield, and you didn't come to me. Plenty of hospitality. At the moment, I helped to coax with everyone, and I heard Kong Rong say with a smile: "Shixing came because of wine, and Cao Gong didn't let someone eat enough wine, how can there be poetry?" If you ask for an ou, there will naturally be poems to offer. ”

Zhijin Wu Ronghe stood up and said: "I'm not good at drinking, this ou is only a cup, and the rest will be sent to Wenju." Kong Rong shook his head again and again: "If there is less than one ou, the poem cannot be complete." Taichang Wang Jiang smiled and said: "Yu this ou can also be gifted." ”

At that moment, the two ou wines were brought to Kong Rong. Kong Rong didn't take the cup, he directly picked up a pot, snorted and drank it all, then wiped his mouth, slowly stood up, looked left and right, and said loudly: "Rong Chu arrived in Xuchang, on the way, because of the feeling that the country has been difficult in recent years, for six words and three songs, please listen to the princess - one ......"

It's Xunxin who said your six-word poem, I know, I can recite it. Sure enough, I heard Kong Rong groaning: "In the Han family, Ye Daowei is micro, Dong Zhuo is chaotic and takes advantage of the decline, and abuses the authority of the superiors and subordinates. The officials were terrified, and the people were miserable. ”

When everyone heard the poem, they all sighed.

Immediately, Kong Rong picked up another pot of wine, drank it all, and continued to chant the second poem: "Guo and Li are in dispute, and the capital is moved to Chang'an." Looking at the Kanto region is sad, dreaming of the return of Cao Gong. While groaning, he waved at Cao Gong, and Cao Cao quickly stood up and returned the salute, not even daring, not daring.

It was Xunxin who said that this is the beginning of the sycophant - Kong Wenju, you are only on the first day of Xuchang, alas, even the official has not become a serious official, so the words are rolling, Lao Tzu...... Yu despises you from now on!

Kong Rong finally picked up his ou wine, looked at it, and sighed and put it down: "That's it, you have to drink it slowly." Then he continued to chant the poem: "From Yu to Xu Weiwei, Cao Gong worries about the country and is selfless, minus the sweet and fat of the kitchen." The group of bureaucrats led Qi Qi, although they were often hungry, and they were bitter and sad when they thought of me. ”

Cao Cao listened, slapped the table, and said with a smile: "Wen Juguo is also the pride of the first generation, these three poems, if the name of a certain family is deleted, it will be enough to last forever." Kong Rong also smiled: "You can't delete it, if you delete it, it won't be a poem." Yes Xun Zheng wanted to continue to complain in his heart, but he suddenly heard someone in the hall report: "The Son of Heaven is here in person." ”

When the officials heard the news, they were all shocked, and they quickly got up and prepared to go down to the hall to greet them. But seeing that Liu Xie had already rushed into the lobby, he waved his hand: "Don't bow down, today's feast, I also came to have fun, you can take off the deeds, and then do the courtesy of the monarch and minister." ”

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he said first: "Does An have a reason to see the Son of Heaven and not worship?" He led the hundred officials to kneel to greet him, let the Son of Heaven take the upper seat, bowed his head, and when he stood up, he glared at the officials behind the Son of Heaven: "The Son of Heaven is coming, why don't you report it early?" "Yes, Xun Xin said yes, how can the emperor run around? It's worth it! You see, from today onwards, Cao Cao will definitely strengthen the guards of the palace, and he will no longer be able to let the actions of the Son of Heaven leave his ears and eyes an inch.

After Liu Xie sat down, he asked, "I can hear Zhuqing's laughter, what are you talking about?" Yang Biao replied: "Kong Wenju is a talented person and has three poems. Liu Xieda was interested: "What kind of poem is it?" I would like to hear it. Cao Cao hurriedly stopped: "Kong Wenju reminisces about the past, poetic and sad, it should not be recited at the banquet, let alone the ears of the Son of Heaven." Shi Xun continued to complain in his heart: Actually, you don't want the emperor to hear the words "Dream of the return of Cao Gong", right?

I saw Liu Xie stretch out his hand and point to the crowd: "I heard that Yilang is also good at poetry, when this feast, why not chant a song to entertain the people?" ”

Ah, why did Xun Xin say that it pointed to me?! (To be continued)
