However, it was said that Liu Shougongsun Zan sent troops to Gao Tang.

One day, Liu Bei was discussing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei about containing Yuan Shao, and suddenly reported that there was a request for a meeting by Tai Shici.

Liu Bei hurriedly invited him to meet.

Tai Shi Ci entered, and Shi Libi: "Under Tai Shi Ci." Beihai was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army and was in danger. Dispatched by the Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong, he came to ask for help alone. ”

Liu Bei was very surprised: "Beihai Xiang Kong Rong actually knows that there is a Liu Bei in the world?" ”

Tai Shici said: "Jun is the current royal family, the 'Taoyuan brothers' Daxing Mountain bravely beheaded the Yellow Turban thief, Qingzhou relieved the siege of Gong Jing, Guangzong aided Lu Zhi, and Yingchuan helped the official army defeat the Yellow Turban Army. The war between the north and the south, the number of military exploits, no one in the world knows. Kong Beihai respects Xuande, benevolence and righteousness, and has long admired the reputation of "Taoyuan Brothers". Now he was besieged and suffered, saying that 'only Xuande can break the siege', and the special dispatch came down to ask for help. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart: Kong Rong, a famous celebrity in the world, knows that there is a person like me Liu Bei in the world, and the teaching of his mentor Lu Zhi is not bad, and his scheming in the past few years has not been in vain. Thinking of this, he became complacent, that is, he took 3,000 soldiers and horses with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Beihai with Tai Shici to rescue.

Kong Rong, a native of Lu (now Qufu, Shandong), the twentieth grandson of Confucius, and the seventh ancestor Kong Ba was the teacher of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and the official was in the middle of the service; great-grandfather Kong Shang served as the Taishou of Jizhou Julu; His father, Kong Zhou, was the captain of Mount Tai.

Kong Rong has been smart since he was a child, and he is very obedient, coupled with a good family education, he knows how to be polite.

One day, his father Kong Zhou entertained colleagues and guests at home, and asked Brother Kong Rong to bring out fruits to entertain guests.

Four-year-old Kong Rong and his brother, according to their father's instructions, handed the pears to the guests in turn, Kong Rong picked up a big one and held it in his hand, and when he was about to eat it, his father said to him: "How does your father usually teach you?" Who should pears be eaten first? ”

Kong Rong looked at the guest and said, "Let the elders and brothers first." ”

"That's right." Father complimented.

Kong Rong gave the pear to his brother and took a small one to eat for himself.

A guest asked him why he did it?

Kong Rong replied: "I'm young, and I can't finish eating the big ones. It stands to reason that you should eat small. ”

The father praised again: "Rong'er is really a good boy who knows how to be reasonable and polite. ”

Kong Rong listened to the compliment, bowed to the guest, and ran out happily with his brother.

After the guests came out, one of Kong Zhou's colleagues said: "This youngest son of Kong Duwei is so young, he knows that he will give the big one to his brother, and he is really a polite child." ”

One guest said, "Children are educating from a young age. When my grandson was three years old, he knew how to serve his first bowl of rice to his grandfather and grandmother. ”

Another colleague of Kong Zhou said: "Kong Duwei teaches his son well, and his son is so sensible and knows etiquette, we should brag about him." ”

Since then, Kong Rong's "four-year-old pear" has been widely spread and has been praised in the classics by later generations: "Rong four-year-old can make pears".

When Kong Rong was thirteen years old, his father Kong Zhou died, Kong Rong was over-grieved and needed help to stand up, so the state praised his filial piety and won the name of "filial piety".

Kong Rong is studious by nature, well-read, and talented when he was a teenager, especially his literary talent.

Zhang Jian, a celebrity, held a grudge against the marquis of Zhongchang and secretly ordered the prefecture and county to arrest him.

Zhang Jian and Kong Rong's brother Kong Bao were friends, so they fled to Kong Bao's house, but Kong Bao was not there.

At that time, Kong Rong was only sixteen years old, and Zhang Jian thought that Kong Rong was young and did not tell him about his situation.

Kong Rong looked at Zhang Jian's embarrassed appearance and said to Zhang Jian: "Although my brother has not returned from abroad, can't I be your host?" Therefore, Zhang Jian was left to live in his own home.

The matter was leaked, and people below the prime minister secretly suppressed the matter, and Zhang Jian was able to escape.

Later, the government still knew about it, and the brothers Kong Bao and Kong Rong were arrested and imprisoned, but I don't know which of the two was the main culprit harboring Zhang Jian.

Kong Rong said: "It was I who sheltered and hid Zhang Jian, and I bear the guilt." ”

Kong Bao said: "Zhang Jian came to me, it was not my brother's sin, I was willing to accept the sin." ”

When the officials asked his mother, she said, "If a family commits a crime, the elders will bear the responsibility, and I am responsible for the crime." ”

All of them are vying to the death.

The county hesitated to make a decision, so he asked the imperial court for instructions.

The edict finally condemned Kong Bao, and Kong Rong became famous for it.

The state and county are courteous, and he does not go to the post.

Kong Rong was later recruited by Situ Yang Ci and became a member of Situ Peng.

During his tenure, Kong Rong secretly visited corrupt officials and prepared to dismiss them.

Most of the people reported by Kong Rong were relatives of eunuchs.

Chaozhong Shangshu was afraid of offending the eunuchs, so he summoned Kong Rong and other Situ officials to interrogate and reprimand.

Kong Rong stated the sins of the eunuchs' children without concealing it.

After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, He Jin was promoted to general, Yang Ci sent Kong Rong to congratulate He Jin with a business card.

Henan Yin's official subordinates thought that they had lost face and wanted to send swordsmen to hunt down Kong Rong.

A guest said to He Jin: "Kong Wenju is famous, if the general has a grudge with him, the people of the Quartet will go with him, it is better to treat him with courtesy, so that everyone in the world knows that the general has a big mind." ”

At that time, He Jin was about to encircle celebrities to deal with eunuchs, so he recruited Kong Rong as a general Peng's subordinate, and promoted him as a high rank, and moved to serve the imperial history.

Kong Rong also returned home because of a disagreement with his boss Yu Shi Zhongcheng Zhao She.

Later, Kong Rong was conscripted as a subordinate of Sikong Peng and awarded the title of Marquis of Beizhong.

After three days in office, he was transferred to the post of Tiger Ben Zhonglang General.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government and wanted to abolish Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Kong Rong and Dong Zhuo argued, their rhetoric was fierce, and there were often Kuang Zheng's remarks.

Dong Zhuo held a grudge and transferred Kong Rong to the post of Yilang, and then hinted that the three governments (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong) recommended Kong Rong to Beihai State (now Changlexi, Shandong), where the Yellow Turban Army was most rampant, as the state minister.

After Kong Rong arrived in Beihai, he gathered the people to gather troops to talk about martial arts, issued a letter, wrote a book in person, communicated with various states and counties, and planned together.

Due to the defeat of Zhang Rao in the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, more than 40,000 officials and ordinary people were gathered, and then cities and schools were set up to demonstrate Confucianism, recommend virtuous people, and treat the people well.

Kong Rong treats the Chinese people, even if there is only a small good deed, he treats them with courtesy.

If there are no descendants of the Chinese people and there are travelers from all over the world who have died, they will help and bury them properly.

Under the governance of Kong Rong, Beihai became richer and richer, and was called "Kong Beihai" by the people of the time because of its political voice.

It is said that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was appeased by Cao Cao, Xu He, Sima Ju, and Guan Hai discovered that Cao Cao had not only organized the elite of the Yellow Turban Army into Qingzhou soldiers, but the rest were sent to plough the fields, and after a little stability, they led the old troops to fight elsewhere.

Guan Hai brought 1,000 soldiers and horses, and soon more than 10,000 people responded.

In order to solve the shortage of grain and grass, and knowing that Beihai was relatively wealthy, Guan Hai borrowed 10,000 stones of grain from Kong Rong, but Kong Rong refused to give it.

Guan Hai gathered the righteous army to attack Changle, and Kong Rong led the army out of the city to meet the battle.

Guan Hai patted the horse and danced the knife straight to the hole.

Kong Rongbu speared Zong Bao out of the horse, and after a few battles, he was cut down by Guan Hai under the horse.

Kong Rong hurriedly retreated to the city and held on behind closed doors.

Guan Hai divided his troops to surround him on all sides, and Changle was in danger.

Kong Rong went to the city to look out, and saw the enemy's great momentum, which made him feel sad.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a strong man with a length of seven feet and seven inches, a beautiful beard, and a tiger's waist, with a spear and a prancing horse, rushing left and right in the enemy formation, as if entering a no-man's land, until he rushed to the city, shouting: "Open the door!" ”

Kong Rong didn't know him and didn't dare to open the door.

When the strong man saw that the door was not opened, the enemy soldiers chased him to the edge of the trench from behind, hurriedly reined in his horse and turned back, stabbing more than a dozen people in a row, and the enemy soldiers temporarily retreated.

Kong Rong immediately opened the city gate at this time and welcomed the strong man in.

The man dismounted and abandoned his gun, went straight to the city wall, and met Kong Rong.

Kong Rong asked for his name and replied: "The surname is Taishi, the name is Ci, and the words are meaningful." ”

Kong Rong was overjoyed when he heard that it was Tai Shici.

Although Kong Rong didn't know it, he had known his name for a long time.

It turns out that this Taishi Ci is a native of Donglai Huang County, Liaodong County, Youzhou (now Donghuangchengji, Longkou, Shandong), who is sensitive and studious when he is young, good at riding and shooting, and is known as a marksman, and the county guard is famous for playing Cao Shi for this county.

At that time, there was a dispute between the prefecture and the prefecture, and it was difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and when the case was concluded, it was often preconceived that it was more advantageous to let the governor of the prefecture (the official in charge of punishment and reward) first.

At that time, the state had already issued a division, and the county guard was afraid that it would be unfavorable to lag behind, so he sought someone who could be a messenger.

Tai Shici, who was twenty-one years old at the time, was elected as an envoy, so he took a shortcut day and night to rush to Beijing, first waited in front of the bus, and when he saw that the state officials had also arrived, he began to ask for the county government to be presented.

Tai Shici pretended to ask the state official: "Is Jun also here to ask for Tongzhang?" ”

"Yes." The governor replied.

Tai Shi Ci asked again: "Where is the chapter?" ”

"In the car." The governor said.

Tai Shi Ci said: "Is the inscription of the chapter really correct? Can you take a look? ”

The state officials did not know that Tai Shi Ci was from Donglai, so he took out the music and gave it to him.

Who knew that Tai Shi Ci had hidden the knife in his arms, and took the state capital chapter, so he took the knife to cut off the state chapter and damaged it.

When the governor saw that the state constitution had been destroyed, he exclaimed: "Someone has destroyed my chapter!" ”

Seeing the governor shouting, Tai Shici hurriedly pulled the governor into the car and said, "If you don't take out the piece and give it to me, I can't damage it." If your recital is destroyed, I will destroy your recital, and they will both be punished. I am afraid that the good fortune and evil of the two of us are equal, and we will inevitably be punished, and I am not necessarily the only one who suffers this crime. ”

When the governor heard this, he asked urgently: "What can I do now?" ”

Tai Shici said: "If he sits and waits to be killed, if he runs away together, he can at least save his life, and he does not have to be punished needlessly." ”

"You have succeeded in destroying my music for the sake of your county, why do you have to flee?" The governor asked, confused.

Tai Shi Ci replied: "I was sent by this county at the beginning, and I was only responsible for inspecting whether the state constitution had been passed. But I went too far and ruined the state seal. Now, even if I go back, I am afraid that I will be condemned and punished, so I hope to flee together. ”

The governor believed what Tai Shici said, and fled on the same day.

After Tai Shi Ci and the state officials left the city, Tai Shi Ci absconded back to the city and replied to the county guard, saying that the county seal had been submitted and the mission of the county guard had been completed.

After the state government knew about this, it sent another official to the capital to pass the seal, but the division no longer inspected the case because he got the county seal first, and the dispute was over, and the state government had a hard time.

Tai Shi Ci is famous all over the world, but he is also hated by the people of the state capital.

In order to avoid the disaster of innocence, Tai Shici had to take refuge in Liaodong.
