Chapter Seventy-Four: Edge
Rice is glutinous rice, the term glutinous rice was only set in the Western Jin Dynasty, before this there were several names, the most commonly used is rice and sticky grain.
The Chinese cultivated glutinous rice very early, and it is recorded in the poetry scriptures, in fact, there is also the shadow of glutinous rice in the earlier mountain and sea classics, and the sweet wine "li" used in the sacrifice is brewed with glutinous rice.
Moreover, the Han people discovered very early on that buildings would be stronger when filled with glutinous rice pulp, but this was a luxury and generally would not be used.
Unless it was in the prosperous and peaceful period, the nobles used it for their own construction, and as for the construction of the city wall, it was completely wasteful, and the palace was often used.
The most famous is the Jinling City of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang built Jinling City, and Shen Wansan, the richest man of the Ming Dynasty, provided glutinous rice, which almost bankrupted the richest man.
A few days later, Feng Ji left, first went to Xu Du to meet Liu Xie, and after offering hundreds of family names and two books of thousand characters, he said very sincerely: "Yuan Hussar always thinks about Your Majesty, and hopes that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body, and one day you will clarify in the future, and then welcome Your Majesty back to Luoyang to reign in the world." ”
Liu Xie had heard of the name of Feng Ji, so he asked: "I heard that Feng Qing is from Nanyang, is there still a clan in Nanyang?" ”
This is a common word, Feng Ji hurriedly said respectfully: "There are more relatives than died in the war, and there are still clansmen in Nanyang, but they are all out of Wufu, and the rest are in Jizhou." ”
"That's it!"
Liu Xie sighed and sighed: "I am incompetent, let the people be displaced, this Han country has a virtuous person to live in, I don't expect to return to Luoyang again, I just hope that Yuan Qing can calm the world, and he wishes that Zen will be located in him one day." ”
With a "plop", Feng Ji knelt down and hissed: "Your Majesty, why did you say this!" Yuan Hussar once said that the Yuan family has disgraced the ancestors by a rebellious thief, and Your Majesty can't chill the hearts of loyal ministers in the world! The surname Liu is the king of the Han family, whoever dares to trespass, Yuan Hussar will be punished! ”
Liu Xie's eyes flashed slightly, showing a wry smile, and he stretched out his hand to help him and said: "Feng Qing is loyal and I know it!" Hurry up, I also know that Yuan Qing is a loyal minister, and I want to make him a general, but Cao Sikong doesn't agree! ”
Feng Ji stood up, bowed his head and bowed his hand: "Cao Sikong may be worried that Yuan Hussar is young, and being in a high position is a curse or a blessing." ”
When Liu Xie saw that he didn't accept the offer, he understood that he couldn't do anything, so he had to say some nonsense and let him retire.
Feng Ji, who walked out of the palace gate, wiped a handful of cold sweat and sighed: "No wonder the lord says that the son of heaven is smart, but he is suspicious, or the lord's eyes are like torches!" ”
How could Liu Xie be willing to concede to the world, this is a temptation, after seeing Feng Ji's performance, he made another move to discord Cao Cao, but Feng Ji still didn't accept it.
Feng Ji himself is a strategist, how he doesn't know these ghost tricks, he can only say that Liu Xie is still too young, which not only makes Feng Ji collapse, but also disappoints the ministers present.
As an emperor, you must not use deceit in front of people, you should be upright to be convincing, as for how people love it, that's another matter.
Even if this is a troubled time, there are some things that still have to be observed, unless you just want to be a hero, not an emperor, you can't let the virtuous return to their hearts.
Cao Cao is so powerful, it's not that there are many talents who don't want to belong to him, on the other hand, Liu Bei has nothing, but he makes Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other great talents bow down.
This is the meaning of being upright, Cao Cao knows it best in his heart, otherwise he would not have cooked wine with Liu Bei and talked about heroes.
He has power but no benevolence, so he did not dare to be the emperor throughout his life, which is also an important reason, he is just self-aware.
"Gentlemen, Fengyuan Tu is almost here, have you heard about the matter of Xu Du?"
Cao Cao, who was in Xiakou, rushed back to Wancheng this day and asked after summoning his confidant ministers.
Xun You frowned and said: "Your Majesty's move is completely unnecessary, it will leave a tongue for the world and make the Han family even more weak." ”
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Zen makes the world, Yuan Xianyi will only believe it when he is crazy, and as for the discordant lord, it is even more of a joke, Yuan Cao is originally hostile, and it is just a waste of words." ”
Xun You shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is probably trying to provoke a war between Hebei and us, but Feng Yuantu is a deceitful person, and he will not be fooled by this, the two sides will eventually have a war, but now is not the time, how can he not know." ”
Cao Cao listened to what everyone said, nodded frequently and asked, "What is the purpose of your Jue's Yuan Tu here?" Send tribute to someone casually, but he is an important minister in Hebei, so it can't be just to send these things, right? ”
Xun You pinched his mustache and groaned: "Yuantu is from Nanyang, and Wancheng is the center of Nanyang, but even if there is his old man, don't worry." ”
"Oh!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and motioned for him to continue.
Xun You nodded slightly, and continued: "From the perspective of the party, the Nanyang family is all the first and the second end of the family, Feng Yuantu is a celebrity, but not a family, so the chance of being able to move them is very small, but he can't help but prevent him from secretly contacting the small family in Haoqiang, after all, the Yuan family is too prominent, and it can still make people's hearts move." ”
"Well, that's insightful."
Cao Cao sighed after approving, looked at the north and sighed: "A certain meritocracy has indeed gathered a lot of scholars from poor families, but it is still a lot worse than Yuan Benchu!" I want to be the first to ascend to the top, and the world is like a cloud, but it's a pity that there is a great opportunity, that is the only time to turn the tide of the tide! ”
Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Yuan Benchu is short-sighted and loses the opportunity, the lord should take it as a warning, why sigh about the things that have passed." ”
Cao Cao laughed, and said arrogantly for a while: "I just think about how energetic I was back then, as for Yuan Xi'er, sooner or later he will teach him how to behave." ”
A few days later, Feng Ji arrived in Wancheng, just as Zhang He was seriously injured and was carried back from Xiakou, and the two quickly separated after looking at each other.
Feng Ji's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said, "Junyi, Junyi, I regret ending up like this!" ”
Zhang He glared angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be proud, one day when a certain army is raised to kill Hebei, it is not too late for you to say this again." ”
Saying that, he spit out a mouthful of blood, Cao Cao hurriedly asked someone to send him back to recuperate, and turned his face to Feng Ji and said: "Brother Yuantu has lost the demeanor of a celebrity, no wonder he has been pressed by Tian Yuanhao, Frustrated Gong and you at the beginning." ”
Feng Ji suddenly blackened his face, squinted at Cao Cao and sneered: "It's true that a certain person lost to these two people, but if my lord listened to him at the beginning, now Cao Sikong is afraid that his bones are cold, and he can still ridicule a certain here." ”
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
Xu Zhu and the others shouted loudly, and even took out their waist knives as if they were grabbing people and devouring them.
Cao Cao waved his hand to make them retreat, nodded with a smile and admitted: "What Yuan Tu said is true, but the first brother doesn't listen!" ”
At this time, Cao Cao looked like a gentleman, Feng Ji had a toothache, and he was really good at disguise, and he was even more shameless than himself.
