Kong Rong has been with Emperor Xian since he left Beihai, including the darkest period when Li Dao and Guo Yan fought and the ministers escorted him to flee Chang'an.

Now that the emperor is driving Puyang, Kong Rong also lives in Puyang.

Kong Rong's residence in Puyang is not particularly luxurious, it can only be regarded as average, and this is still arranged by Liu Bei for Kong Rong's fame.

Sun Qian came to the door and knocked on the knocker softly, his voice was not hurried or slow, very even, and then he took a step back and waited for the door to open.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then the door was slowly opened, and a servant came out to look at Sun Gan, smiling, and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask Mr. What's the matter?" ”

Sun Qian arched his hand and replied: "Sun Qian, who is under the account of Ko Qingzhou, has come to meet Kong Shaofu!" ”

Kong Rong returned to the court, was first appointed as a general minister, and after arriving in Puyang, he was promoted to Shaofu, so Sun Qian was called so.

When the servant heard Sun Qian's self-registration, he didn't dare to slack off, and replied respectfully: "Wait, wait for you!" ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand, and then returned to the courtyard to report to Kong Rong.

After a while, the door was fully opened, and the servant just now went and returned, and said respectfully to Sun Qian: "Your guest has been waiting for a long time, and he is very lazy, the master of the family is invited!" ”

Sun Qian thanked him, and then entered the courtyard with the servants.

Kong Rong's mansion is three entrances, one is the residence of servants and maids, the second is the place where Kong Rong reads and meets guests, and the third is the residence of Kong Rong and his family.

Although it is not as vast as the North Sea, it is also well-equipped and not crowded.

Kong Rong was waiting in the hall early, and when he saw Sun Gan coming in, he laughed and said, "Gongyou, don't come to harm?" ”

At that time, Zheng Xuan originally wanted Sun Gan to go to Kong Rong, but who knew that Lu Yi recruited him halfway, which made Sun Qian change his mind.

For this reason, Zheng Xuan had no choice but to let his only son Zheng Yien defect to Kong Rong to be full of faith.

Sun Qian saluted Kong Rong and replied with a smile: "Thank you Shaofu for your concern, everything is fine!" ”

Kong Rong invited Sun Qian to sit down, and the two chatted a few words, and then Kong Rong asked with a straight face: "Gongyou came this time, could it be because of the matter of Xiapi?" ”

Seeing Kong Rong talking about business, Sun Qian sat up slightly and replied, "Exactly!" ”

Because Kong Rong was close to Lu Yi, Sun Qian did not seem to be tactful when talking to Liu Bei, and directly told the purpose of his visit this time and the fact that Lu Yi was going to seek the general Chu Hou of Zhengdong.

Finally, I summarized the conversation with Liu Bei just now.

Kong Rong couldn't help nodding while listening, and when Sun Qian finished speaking, he said: "This matter is beneficial to General Koji, and I should do my best to help him, but now that the undercurrent is surging in the court, Dong Cheng and others have always hoped to welcome Cao Cao to escort him, and have repeatedly impeached Liu Bei in the court, which makes Liu Xuande quite restrained."

If you want to promote this matter, it is not enough for me and Liu Bei alone, Gongyou can go to find Ma Taifu, I count Yu Taifu to talk, and his words are quite respectful to General Koji, if you get his help, you will get twice the result with half the effort!

In addition, I will secretly contact a few close friends, and work together tomorrow morning, this matter can be done! ”

When Sun Qian heard Kong Rong helping him so hard, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "If that's the case, the head of my family will bow to Xie Shaofu!" ”

Kong Rong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I have intersected with General Koji, and I know that he is benevolent and righteous, so I am willing to help, and there is no need to be polite for public blessings, without further ado, go and prepare as soon as possible!" ”

Sun Gan listened and bowed again, and then said goodbye to find the Taifu Ma Riyan.

After bidding farewell to Sun Qian, Kong Rong also changed into a robe and went out to visit friends.

Kong Rong knew that Sun Qian was not familiar with Puyang, so he specially sent a servant to lead the way.

Sun Qian did not go directly to look for Ma Riyan, but first went back to the pavilion post to take out a wooden box, wrapped it in cloth and carried it on his back, and then the servants of the Confucian Mansion led the way to find Ma Riyan.

When he arrived at the Dema Riyan Mansion, the servant of the Confucian Mansion said to Sun Gan: "This is the Taifu Mansion, Mr. can go, and the villain will retire!" ”

Sun Qian took out a small silver ingot from his waist, stuffed it into the servant's hand, and thanked: "There is labor to lead the way, thank you!" ”

The servant hurriedly excused himself, Sun Gan held it down again and again before accepting it, and then happily thanked Sun Gan and said goodbye and went back.

Ma Riyan's mansion is larger and guarded by two soldiers outside the door.

Sun Qian came to the door to report his name and explain his intentions, and one of the soldiers quickly entered the courtyard to report.

Sun Qian looked at the scale of Ma Riyan's mansion, and vaguely guessed in his heart Kong Rong's purpose for letting him come to find Ma Riyan.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the size of the house and the soldiers at the door that Ma Riyan now has a higher status than Kong Rong in the court.

Not long after, the soldiers returned and invited Sun Qian to enter.

Ma Riyan was in the study at this time, and he was very happy to see Sun Gan and personally got up to greet him.

Ma Riyan and Sun Qian had met once at the wedding of Koyi, so the two were quite familiar.

The two sat down and exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Ma Riyan took the initiative to ask: "Gongyou is a rare guest, there must be something to do when you come here today, but it doesn't hurt to be blunt!" ”

Sun Qian replied: "Today the next fall apart, the princes rose up, the previous Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xiapi, slaughtered the people, and killed important ministers indiscriminately, Tao Fujun caused an old illness and drove away!"

Liqingzhou was entrusted by the king of Tao Mansion, sent troops to refuse, but fortunately defeated Yuan Shu and captured countless prisoners.

However, Yuan Shu is narrow-minded, and he will repay his eyes, and he occupies the rich land of Huainan, and sooner or later he will lead troops back.

In order to protect Xuzhou Qingping, he specially ordered Qianqian to come to Puyang to meet His Majesty, one is to report the victory, and the other is to ask for the general to conquer the east, so as to shake the night.

On the occasion of Qian's departure, Ko Qingzhou specially instructed that he must come to visit Taifu in Depuyang, in order to thank Taifu for his personal summons! ”

Sun Gan took off the wooden box from his back and opened it, revealing an emerald green Ruyi inside, holding it with both hands and putting it on the table in front of Ma Riyan.

Ma Riyan glanced at the wooden box, did not refuse, but smiled and said: "Koji Qingzhou is really a person who values love and righteousness!" ”

Seeing this, Sun Qian didn't say much, and smiled silently.

In the evening, Liu Bei sat in the study, and there was a respectful soldier standing in front of him.

Liu Bei said expressionlessly: "Ruyan Sun Qian came out of Kong Shaofu's house and went to Ma Taifu's house again?" ”

When the soldier heard the question, he hurriedly replied: "During the period, I went back to the pavilion, and when I came out, I went to the Ma Taifu Mansion with a package on my back, and when I came out again, the package on my body was gone." ”

Liu Bei remained silent after hearing this, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

The soldier thought slightly, and then replied: "Not long after Sun Qian came out of Confucius's Mansion, Kong Shaofu's also went out, but I don't know where he went. ”

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, and said, "Very good, let's go down and rest!" ”

When the soldiers resigned, Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he sighed softly: "In just a few years, it has won the hearts of the people, it really can't be underestimated, it seems that tomorrow morning, there may be a lot of excitement, but I don't know how Cao Mengde will feel if he gets the news?" ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled lightly.
