Chapter 12, A Cheng Ugly Girl
The old man who had just been rescued called himself "Zhao Qi", and Shi Xun thought this name was quite familiar, who was it? Over there, Cai Mao had already reacted, and couldn't help but change her complexion, and respectfully arched her hand and asked, "Could it be Mrs. Zhao?" Zhao Qi waved his hand lightly: "The old man has been relieved of his post for many days, and there is no need to mention the title of the servant." ”
Mrs. Zhao...... Zhao Qi...... Ah, it turned out to be this great god! It was Xun who remembered it, quickly jumped out of the carriage, and also stood firm to give the old man a look.
Zhao Qizi Piqing, Jingzhao Changlingren, was a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty and one of the top ten celebrities in the country. He is the niece and son-in-law of the great Confucian Ma Rong, but he looks down on the identity of Ma Rong's relatives and resolutely refuses to meet. Later, he came out to be an official, and he was quite famous, but he was persecuted because he offended the eunuch Tang Xuan, and was forced to go incognito to Beihai City to sell cakes. After Tang Xuan died, the three mansions (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong) were recruited on the same day - this shows how high his reputation is.
Since then, Zhao Qi has been up and down in the officialdom, and Dong Zhuo was worshiped as a servant in the era and ranked Jiuqing. After Li Dao and Guo Yan took control of the government, they sent him and Taifu Ma Riyan to hold the festival together to appease the Kwantung region, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao heard the news, personally led a team to meet the suburbs, and promised to temporarily stop the truce with Gongsun Zhan - but unfortunately at that time, Shi Xun had not yet surrendered to Cao, and he was on the side.
Let's put it this way, although he failed to achieve the high position of the Three Princes, Zhao Qi's morality and knowledge can be a model for the world, and his reputation among scholars is not worse than that of the Three Princes - even many times higher than Cao Song's goods. It was Xun who understood why he felt that Zhao Qi's majesty was only comparable to Cao Song, and he was stunned when he first met. To say that this person has "qi" in him, and he has the spirit of a fierce general. There is heroism. There is a high-ranking official. Zhao Qi, who has the spirit of a university scholar and a righteous gentleman, and Zhao Qi, who has the three temperaments of a high-ranking official, a university scholar, and a righteous gentleman, is not something that Xun, Cai Mao and others dare to look up to.
At that moment, while sending someone to inform the county commander of Deng County to transfer troops to escort the knights who were knocked unconscious, injured, and disabled, he asked about the cause and effect of the incident. It turned out that Zhao Qi was ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to Jingzhou to contact Liu Biao, hoping that Liu Jingsheng could send King Qin's soldiers and horses to Luoyang to protect the Son of Heaven.
Ahh It was only then that Xun knew that he had escaped from Chang'an two months before he dared to love Emperor Han Xian, and under the protection of Dong Cheng, Yang Ding, Yang Feng and others, he led the ministers and hundreds of officials to return to the eastern capital of Luoyang - this is more than half a year earlier than the original history. When he really arrives in Luoyang, won't he have to ask the princes everywhere to save him? In the end, this beauty fell on Cao Cao's head, so Cao Cao "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes" and began to take the most important step to achieve hegemony. Damn, why did I leave Juancheng at this juncture? For such a big thing as welcoming the Son of Heaven, you should not get involved. Plating a little golden light, that will be regretted for a lifetime!
No way. Lao Tzu had to hurry up to see Liu Biao, and return to Yanzhou immediately after finishing his business with Jingzhou.
Although Emperor Xian fled from Chang'an, earlier than the original history, but the basic process is not too out of shape, the same is Li Dao, Guo Yan contended, the Son of Heaven led a hundred officials to return to the east, Li and Guo chased after him, Zhang Ji rebelled halfway, forced Emperor Xian and others to cross the Yellow River north, and fled to the county magistrate in Hedong. Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang welcomed Emperor Xian in Anyi, temporarily stabilized his foothold, and Emperor Xian sent the guard general Dong Cheng to the front station and went to Luoyang to repair the palace in advance. Zhao Qi returned to the festival to pacify the Guandong, and fell ill when he was finished, and he had been recuperating in the local area, until the first year of Xingping, that is, the year before, he was cured, so he returned to Chang'an, and only halfway up the road he heard that the Son of Heaven was returning to the east, and hurriedly went to Luoyang to meet the car. When he arrived in Luoyang, he asked, and the emperor was still in Anyi, so he went to persuade Dong Cheng:
"Now the sea is falling apart, only Jingzhou is wide and victorious, the west is through Bashu, the south is connected to Jiaozhi, the year valley is abundant, and the soldiers and horses are strong. I want to ride the ox cart by myself, and the south said Liu Biao, so that he will lead the army to defend the imperial court, and work together with the general to assist the royal family. ”
Dong Cheng heard that he was reasonable, so he sent someone to escort Zhao Qi to Anyi to meet Emperor Xian, and then Emperor Xian issued an edict and asked Zhao Qi to take him to Jingzhou to ask Liu Biao. But who wants to offer the emperor to the military leader who took power before the emperor is not only Dong Cheng, but also the former Hedong Baibo Shuai Li Le, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others, all of whom are not dealing with Dong Cheng, for fear that Zhao Qi will bring Jingzhou soldiers to come, which will enhance Dong Cheng's strength, so he hurriedly sent people to chase him. Zhao Qi ran all the way and hid all the way, but all the people were slaughtered by those Hedong cavalry, but fortunately, the big man suddenly jumped out to save him, and finally came to Jingzhou.
As for the big man, his surname is Wenzi Yunan, and it is said that he was named because he was born in Fenggao County, Taishan County, on the south bank of Wenshui. At that time, Zhao Qi sold cakes in Beihai City, and received help from Sun Song and Sun Binshi, a native of Anqiu, and the two became friends of life and death. And this Sun Wen is Sun Song's nephew of the same clan, because he heard that his uncle was attached to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, so he went south to join his relatives, and coincidentally, he bumped into Zhao Qi on the road.
Sun Wen first saw that the road was uneven, drew a knife to help, then exchanged names, and immediately patted his chest to escort Zhao Qi all the way south. The two of them got lost because they were evading pursuit—although Sun Wen was very capable of fighting, according to him, there were no less than twenty or thirty cavalrymen chasing Zhao Qi at the beginning, and he was invincible with two fists and four hands—and they all arrived in the suburbs of Jingzhou and didn't know it. Today, Sun Wen asked Zhao Qi to rest on the side of the road, and went to find someone to ask for directions and ask for some water to drink.
Fortunately, they just wanted to rob Zhao Qi back to Luoyang, and they didn't want to take the old man's life, so Cai Mao and they had a chance to save Zhao Qi, otherwise, it is estimated that when Sun Wen comes back, they will only see the old man's body.
After the cause and effect were described, the county commander of Deng County also led the troops to come, wiped all those Hedong knights on their shoulders, tied them up, tied them up, and escorted them to be tried. Zhao Qi was about to enter Xiangyang City with Cai Mao, but was stopped by Cai Mao, Cai Mao said: "Zhao Gong is now the Son of Heaven, how dare my lord slacken, I must go out of the suburbs of the city to greet him, otherwise I am afraid that the world will laugh at me Jingzhou does not know etiquette." It will be late, and when Mao returns to the city to report to the lord, he will come to greet Zhao early tomorrow morning. ”
Zhao Qi said that you are reasonable, but ...... Where am I going to stay tonight? Cai Mao said with a smile: "A certain and this gentleman went out of the city in the same car, originally to visit relatives, and the sister-in-law Huang Zhi lived in nearby Longzhong. You can send someone to lead Zhao Gong there. Take a break from the dust. Tomorrow I will enter the city. ”
Zhao Qi nodded and asked, "But is Huang Chengyan from Cannan?" Cai Mao said yes. Zhao Qi smiled: "I've been famous for a long time, and I don't want to be lucky enough to know it." It's okay, then the old man will go to Huang's house to rest for a while. "It's Xun Xin who said that Huang Chengyan is forty years old this year, why is his reputation so loud? When did Lao Tzu have such a famous name, even university scholars such as Zhao Qi said "I am fortunate to know", then I will really wake up laughing when I fall asleep!
So Cai Mao left two servants and asked them to take Zhao Qi, Shi Xun and Sun Wen to Huang Zhi's house. Sun Wen took the initiative to drive Zhao Qi. Shixun didn't dare to ride with the old lady, so he had to walk with the car - Zhao Qi invited him back to the car, but he politely declined.
It's Xunxin who says that I don't respect your name, but your knowledge...... If you don't have anything to do on the road to talk to me about the scriptures, how can that be good? said that he was really unfavorable for the past year, how could he go to Jingzhou to meet this kind of goods...... Compared with Zhao Qi, Song Zhong and the others are scumbags, and they haven't figured out how to deal with them yet, where do they dare to talk to you Zhao Taifu first......
Before Cai Mao left, he introduced Shixun to Zhao Qi. It's a pity that Old Man Zhao has never heard of Hongfu's "big name", just a few perfunctory words. I've been waiting for the road. Zhao Qicai turned his face and asked him, "Is Cao Yanzhou okay recently?" How is Xun Wenruo? ”
It's Xun Xin who said that there is a huge Yanzhou, and it is estimated that Cao Cao and Xun Yu are the only ones who can enter your old man's eyes, and I am the one who makes soy sauce when I pass by...... At that moment, he answered Zhao Qi's question respectfully. Zhao Qi didn't have anything else to say, turned his head and looked ahead, as if enjoying the scenery. Shi Xun suddenly remembered something, and it was similar to Sun Wentao who was driving: "Although Mr. Sun was born in Wennan, Sun's family is actually from Anqiu, Beihai - Xun is also from Beihai, and his ancestral home is Yingling." ”
Sun Wen was quite respectful to Shi Xun - after all, he was just a white body, and he was a serious magistrate - while rushing to the car, he answered: "It's Mr.'s name, and the villain has naturally heard of it." Back then, he saved Kong Beihai's life under the city of Duchang, and later entered Yanzhou to offer the policy of Tuntian - I don't want to be a fellow villager, but I can see it today, fortunately, fortunately. ”
It is Xun Xin who said that this is the old emperor's calendar, and it is estimated that when you left Yanzhou, I had not yet returned from Jizhou, so you have not heard of the glorious deeds of the Zhangshui tongue battle of the sages. He asked Sun Wen: "Mr. Sun is only suitable for those Hedong thieves who are the enemy, and he can take the white blade with his empty hands, I don't know if Lu Dao is a talent, or is it inherited?" ”
Sun Wen said with a smile: "Strength may be innate, how can the tricks be granted?" The villain studied under Nanyang Daxia Deng Zhan and learned this skill. ”
It was Xun Xin who said that it was no wonder, as Lao Tzu expected. He had heard of the name Deng Zhan, and it was said that he was strong in martial arts, and he was best at entering the white blade empty-handed, and later became a general in Cao Wei. Cao Pi said in the "Classics" that he once used to eat half of the sugarcane to compete with Deng Zhan, and as a result, Deng Zhan was completely out of temper. It is estimated that Xun is either Cao Pi boasting about himself, or Deng Zhan deliberately let him - who dares to really win the prince of Wei, isn't that self-inflicted?
Immediately asked Sun Wen about Deng Zhan's situation, Sun Wen said that the master of the Four Seas Ranger came to Wennan four or five years ago and taught himself for a few months, and then he disappeared and disappeared.
The water (Han water) flows through the east of Xiangyang City, and turns from the north of the city to the west, a big bend, and half surrounds the Xiongcheng. On the southwest side of Xiangyang City, there is the famous Da Hyeon Mountain as a protector - it is said that Sun Jian and Sun Wentai were killed by an arrow on Da Hyeon Mountain. To the north of Shanghyeon (later known as "Wanshan"), with a back to the hills and facing the water, Longzhong has opened up a large area of fertile land - most of the residents live in the mountains, and the grass house of Huang Zhu Huang Chengyan is also among them.
It is said that it is a grass house, in fact, the building area is not small, there are three entrances before and after, and there are fences around, but there are no bricks on the wall, made of mud, there are no tiles on the house, and it is covered with thatch. It was Xun who pondered that when Zhuge Liang was ploughing nearby, he should have lived in this kind of house, even if he really worked in the field himself, he was still a scholar in his bones, and he would not live in a thatched house ventilated on all sides like ordinary people - if he was really so poor, where would he have the money to study?
A servant of the Cai family rushed over to report first, so when the carriage arrived at the grass house, Zhao Qi had just gotten out of the car, and the master's family had already personally greeted him, and when he saw Zhao Qi kneeling on the ground first, he bowed and worshipped. Zhao Qi hurriedly helped the other party up with both hands - Shi Xun took a look, and saw that this Mr. Huang Zhu Huang Chengyan was not tall, his figure was a little thin, and his appearance was ...... The second half can score 70 points, and the first half can only score 40 points. To put it simply, Huang Chengyan has a straight nose and square mouth in the lower half, and his long beard is fluttering, which looks quite literary and artistic, but the upper half is hanging eyebrows and triangular eyes, and there are signs of losing his head early.
Well, if Miss Huang inherited his father's appearance perfectly, it is indeed unlikely to be beautiful, as the so-called "Don't be a Kong Ming woman, just get an ugly girl"...... (To be continued......)
PS: Nearly a year ago, an old friend who had known each other for more than ten years suddenly went silently. He is much younger than me, unmarried, and theoretically still in the prime of life, but he is ahead of many big brothers, which is both sad and chilling to think about. Life is so fragile.
This friend's real name is Sun Wen, and he is nicknamed "Big Bear" by his character Yu Nan (later for simple writing, changed to Yu Nan). Sun Wen and Sun Yunan appear in the text to commemorate him. In this illusory world, I won't let him go again, I'll keep him until the end, so that he will always be with the protagonist and the sorrow of his friends......
In order to mourn the big bear, there are two watches today.
