Chapter 66: Stand Up
As an envoy of Jiangdong, Zhang Hong is clear and elegant in appearance, walking in the wind, and standing out in the world.
Cao Cao saw Zhang Hong, and his eyes showed a touch of joy.
In the past, Zhang Hong sent an envoy to Xu County, and Cao Cao left Zhang Hong, thinking that with the passage of time, he would definitely be able to let Zhang Hong be used for his own purposes. However, Cao Cao's plan failed. After Sun Quan took power, Zhang Hong offered to return to Jiangdong.
Cao Cao was unwilling to stay and allowed Zhang Hong to return to Jiangdong.
Zhang Hong walked into the hall, flicked his sleeves, and arched his hand: "Jiangdong Zhang Hong, please see Sikong." ”
"Mr. Zizuna, please take a seat!"
As soon as Cao Cao waved his hand, the attendant took Zhang Hong to sit first on the right.
Pang Degong and Zhang Hong made eye contact and bowed slightly.
The two know each other, and with one look, they understand each other's thoughts.
Cao Cao's gaze swept over everyone, picked up the wine bottle, and said loudly: "Mr. Pang Gong Jiangdong Zigang of Jingzhou, they have all arrived. Now, everyone has arrived, come, we respect Pang Gong and Mr. Zigang. ”
"Please!"
Cao Cao raised his head and drank it all.
Everyone in the hall drank one after another, with a smile on their faces.
As if, nothing had happened before.
Cao Cao put down the wine bottle in his hand, with a strong smile on his face, and said: "It is rare for the envoys from Jingzhou and Jiangdong to gather, especially tonight when the moon is like a disk, such a thing is rare." The official proposed to use poetry to help the fun. ”
Guo Jia's cheeks revealed a hint of paleness, but his eyes were extremely bright, and the corners of his mouth smiled, and he echoed: "The lord's words are reasonable, there is a moon and wine, and there can be no poetry." ”
Xun Yu, Xun Yu and others echoed one after another.
Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and other military generals in the army also coaxed.
The scene in the hall was lively.
"Lord, there is a moon, wine and poetry, but you can't have no rules, you have to make a proposal and set rules. ”
In the hall, someone spoke again.
Liu Xiu followed the prestige, and the person who spoke was Cao Cao's henchman Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu is nearly seventy years old, his hair and beard are white, but he is energetic and healthy.
Under Cao Cao, Cheng Yu was one of the very few people who was both Cao Cao's confidant and strategist, and also led the troops to fight. Cheng Yu held the post of Shangshu, participated in the management of government affairs, and was worshiped by Cao Cao as a general of Fenwei, who was in charge of the army and managed the military and political affairs of Yanzhou.
His rights are no less than those of Xun Yu and others.
Cao Cao asked, "What kind of rules does Zhong Degong want to make?"
Cheng Yu stroked the gray hair under his chin and said slowly: "The best way to drink and write poems is one-on-one." ”
"For example, if the lord asks for filial piety and poems, he must first write a poem before he can ask for filial piety. After Feng Xiaofu poems, the lord wanted to ask Wen Ruo to write poems, and the lord had to give another poem to make Wen Ruo write poems. ”
Cheng Yu said: "The rules are simple, but they can increase the fun. ”
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu glanced at Pang Degong and Zhang Hong, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
Cao Cao's eyes were full of smiles, and he said without hesitation: "Zhong Degong's proposal is very good, the rules are simple, and it is easy to operate, so let's do it." Ladies and gentlemen, do you understand the rules?"
The crowd replied, and there was another burst of laughter.
Liu Xiu's eyes were full of solemnity.
Cheng Yu's suggestion seems to be very good, but it is very unfavorable to the Jingzhou and Jiangdong missions.
The reason is simple, there are too few people in Jingzhou.
In the hall, there were dozens of civil and military generals under Cao Cao. If everyone gives a poem, and then they all look for Pang Degong, or they all look for Zhang Hong, it means that Pang Degong or Zhang Hong must make dozens of poems.
In a short period of time, it is very unfair to make dozens of poems.
This is exactly what Cao Cao wants to see.
The current arrangement is the real prestige, and the real prestige of Jingzhou and Jiangdong is to be killed.
"Lord, I thought of a poem and wanted to ask Pang Gong. ”
Yang Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth and was the first to stand up. He walked up to Pang Degong, pondered for a long time, and then read aloud the poem he had come up with.
After reciting, Yang Xiu arched his hand and said, "Please teach Pang Gong!"
Pang Degong is also outstanding in writing, he smiled slightly, commented on Yang Xiu's poem, and also wrote a poem.
The first one, that's it.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao's strategist Mao Jue stood up and found Zhang Hong.
After Mao Jue wrote a poem, Zhang Hong also wrote a poem.
The civil officials under Cao Cao stood up one by one, and then found Pang Degong and Zhang Hong, and offered their own poems. But after more than ten people, whether it was Pang Degong or Zhang Hong, cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads.
More than a dozen civil officials came to ask for advice, and the two of them shared it equally, and each person wrote an average of five or six poems.
From the beginning to the end, the quality of the verses rapidly declined.
Even if you are full of money, it is difficult to cope with such a situation.
Liu Xiu sat behind Pang Degong, saw this scene, and quickly turned his brain to think about the solution.
If you don't stop it, whether it's Jiangdong or Jingzhou, you can't hang your face. Even though this is Cao Cao bullying people with many people, it is Jingzhou and Jiangdong who are disgraced.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes, drank wine, and looked at the lively scene, with a smile in his eyes.
This scene is so good!
Cao Cao's gaze suddenly fell on Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's thinking is quick, and his poetry is even more first-class, he wants to see how Liu Xiu responds.
Moreover, Pang Degong is Liu Xiu's teacher, Pang Degong is overstretched, and Cao Cao doesn't believe that Liu Xiu will sit idly by. If Liu Xiu sits idly by, such Liu Xiu is just outstanding in writing.
"Sikong-sama, I think it's unfair. ”
Suddenly, Liu Xiu got up and stood up from behind Pang Degong.
At this time, all the ministers under Cao Cao were quiet, including those who had just gotten up and were about to go to Pang Degong or Zhang Hong, and they all returned to their seats.
The officials standing in the lobby looked at Liu Xiu.
Cao Cao's expression was calm, and he asked with a smile, "What do you think is unfair?"
Having said that, Cao Cao's heart was full of joy, at least stumped Pang Degong and Zhang Hong. Before the banquet, Cao Cao discussed with his advisers, and the rules set were unfair.
This was deliberately done by Cao Cao.
Liu Xiu pointed it out directly, Cao Cao wanted to see, what was Liu Xiu going to say?
Liu Xiulang said: "The civil and military officials in the hall are all people under Sikong. Now, they come to toast and chant poetry one by one, and we people in Jingzhou don't have the opportunity to toast, which is really inappropriate. In this way, please sit back under the empty tent, and Liu Xiu will toast and chant poems one by one. As the saying goes, we come from afar, we come from afar, and Sikong has to give us a chance. ”
Wow!
In the hall, it exploded.
looked at Liu Xiu one by one, and felt even more incredible.
Liu Xiu's meaning was to let everyone sit back and stare at Liu Xiu to toast and chant poetry. It means that every time Liu Xiu sees someone, he has to write a poem.
In such a situation, it is extremely difficult.
No one under Cao Cao's command dared to say that he could complete it.
Cao Cao's eyes also showed a solemn look.
However, Cao Cao was more curious in his heart, curious about what kind of poems Liu Xiu would make.
Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Princess, the guest has made a request, we can't disrespect it." All the princes returned to their seats and waited for Mr. Xiao Liu to come and toast. ”
From calling him by his first name to calling Mr. Xiao Liu.
At least, Cao Cao was impressed by Liu Xiu's approach and thought that Liu Xiu was bold.
Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu with a worried look in his eyes. He knew that Liu Xiu was quick to think, but this was not something that could be solved by one or two poems, and dozens of poems had to be made, which was too difficult.
Liu Xiutou waved his hand with a reassuring look: "Come on, come with me." ”
Immediately, an attendant came up with a plate with wine bottles and wine jugs, and poured wine for Liu Xiu
