Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Orphan and Zhang Song in the North
The wind is cold, the snow is flying, and the Yanjing City of Layue is covered in silver, and a team of cars and horses is coming.
A carriage lifted the curtains, revealing a childish little face, looking at the endless ice and snow world, and turned around and shouted: "Sister, we are almost there." ”
A crisp girl's voice sounded in the car: "Brother, put down the curtain quickly, don't be anxious." ”
The old man driving at the wheel said with a smile: "It's coming soon, you can already see Yanjing City here." ”
Hearing the sound in the car, the thick curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and a pair of young men and women looked forward curiously, it was Kong Rong's sons and daughters.
The boy is nine years old and the girl is seven years old, extremely intelligent, and he is also the second most distressed child in history who calmly died.
Now their fate has changed, and the day after Kong Rong was executed, the two of them were secretly sent out of the city by the Jinyi guards, and then left Xudu with the caravan.
After tossing and turning, he changed to a convoy and followed the Yizhou envoy to Hebei to Luoyang and then went north, and the Yizhou envoy went north with Cao Cao's consent, so it was very safe.
The reason why Cao Cao gave face was because Liu Zhang provided him with a large amount of grain and grass for the conquest of Jingzhou.
In the Battle of Xiakou last year, Liu Zhang chose to support Cao Cao, which was exactly the same as in history, and it was also the Battle of Chibi that supported Cao Cao.
It's just that Cao Cao lost both the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Xiakou, and Liu Zhang bet on loneliness, so he had to show goodwill everywhere and send envoys to the princes of all parties.
Of course, he would never go to Hanzhong, it was his enemy Zhang Lu, Cao Cao had a short manpower, and knew that Liu Zhang was not ambitious.
A person who only thinks about self-preservation, he still needs him to support his food and grass now, so the Yizhou envoy will never stop him wherever he likes to go.
"Here ......
After a report at the city gate, a group of people walked out, led by Cui Yan, with a group of officials from the General's Mansion, He Shipu, and greeted the convoy with a smile on his face.
"It's Mr. Zhang Ziqiao? Qinghe Cui Yan has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of my lord's general! ”
As the words fell, the convoy stopped, and a middle-aged man who thought he was ugly came down from the middle carriage, clasped his fists and saluted: "Yizhou Zhang Song has seen Cui Cheng." ”
Cui Yan pouted secretly at a glance, but when he thought of his own main bus generation, Zhang Song was ugly but talented, and if he couldn't be taken lightly, he hurriedly restrained his solemn return salute.
After the establishment of the two sides, Cui Yan asked: "Brother Ziqiao, I don't know where Kong Beihai's children are, my lord has repeatedly explained, how innocent is the child, and he wants to take him back to the General's Mansion to raise him." ”
Zhang Song didn't ask anything else when he heard him, he first asked about Kong Rong's children, and after being surprised, he smiled, bowed his head slightly, and exclaimed loudly: "General Rende, Song admires it so much!" ”
Immediately asked the child to come over, and the two of them saluted very well, which made Cui Yan's eyes hot, and he comforted him when he heard the words: "Your father is upright and an example for the world's scholars, although he has passed away, but the dignified bones still exist in the world, you should not be sad, you should inherit your father's will, and benefit all the people in the future." ”
"The boy (little girl) is taught, thank you Mr. Cui for your teaching!"
Cui Yan nodded approvingly, beckoned the two sergeants, and asked them to send the two children to the General's Mansion first.
Only then did he turn around and invite Zhang Song: "Brother Ziqiao, please, my lord is waiting for Brother Ziqiao in the Qunxian Pavilion." ”
"Qunxian Pavilion? That's ......"
"Brother Ziqiao came at the right time, the Qunxian Pavilion is a new building funded by our lord, taking the meaning of the Qunxian to entertain the talents of the Quartet, and it just opened yesterday."
"Oh, this one needs to be taken a good look at."
Zhang Song was very curious, boarded the car and followed Cui Yan and others into the city, and did not let down the curtain along the way, let the cold wind blow, and carefully watched the pedestrians and shops along the way.
This sight surprised him greatly, and it was obvious that there was no road to sound the gong, nor did the streets be cleaned to drive the people, and the people still lived as usual.
There was no inquisitive intention for their convoy other than normal curiosity, which could not be seen anywhere else.
From this detail, it can be seen that the people of Yanjing live a very peaceful life, which is too rare in troubled times.
About two quarters of an hour later, a brand-new high-rise appeared in the eye, three stories high, with eaves and arches, and the shape of the whole building was like a big bird about to fly, which looked very light.
When I got closer, I saw that the three dignified Lishu "Qunxian Pavilion" three words in the horizontal lintel of the pavilion suddenly changed people's senses.
The architecture of the Han Dynasty is known for its simplicity and calmness, but this building is a light shape, which originally made Zhang Song feel bad, but after seeing this word, it suddenly changed.
Then look at the left and right sides of the gate to hang a pair of vertical plaques, on the book "the first world worries and worries, after the world is happy and happy." ”
Deng Shi opened his mouth in shock, and he couldn't close it for a while.
"Ji Jue, this is?"
Cui Yan smiled slightly, and said with pride on his face: "This is a book written by my lord, called a couplet, and Yan was as surprised as Brother Ziqiao when he first saw it. ”
There were no couplets in the Han Dynasty, this thing started in the fifth dynasty, and according to legend, it was created by Meng Chang, the lord of Later Shu, that is, the husband of the lady of Hua Rui.
This is a very miserable person who has been hacked by history, in fact, Meng Chang is not so unbearable, but he was born at the wrong time and met a generation of male lord Zhao Kuangyin.
Meng Chang governed Shu to punish corrupt officials and care about the people, but he was not good at military affairs, which was the reason for the destruction of other countries.
After the Ming Dynasty, the inscription in the official yamen warned officials not to be corrupt, which was the handwritten letter that Meng Chang warned officials back then.
"Erfang Erlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive!"
The sixteen characters were enshrined as the standard by the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the first thing that every official took office and entered the yamen was to recite it to this inscription.
Yuan Xi didn't feel guilty about plagiarism, he couldn't help plagiarizing Meng Chang's creativity, and he also plagiarized Fan Zhongyan's famous sentences through the ages, anyway, no one knows, who can't pretend to be that.
And Meng Chang's sixteen words were also plagiarized by him, Zhang Song did not go to the official office of the Hebei forces, if he went, he would find that as soon as he entered the gate, there were these sixteen big characters on the wall in the center.
"Don't drive Zhang Song in Yizhou, meet General Yuan!"
Zhang Song, who walked into the building, was dressed this time and saluted Yuan Xichang very solemnly.
Yuan Xi immediately left his seat, laughed and stepped forward to grab his arm, and shook it again and again: "Zhang Ziqiao, I have heard of it for a long time!" Xi heard that it was you who came, and he was eager to see through it, and he should have picked you up in person, but unfortunately the first assessment of the Qunxian Pavilion today, I really couldn't pull away, Brother Ziqiao, don't hesitate! ”
Zhang Song suddenly felt all over his body when he heard it, no matter whether what the other party said was true or not, these sincere words made people feel like a spring breeze.
Yuan Xi is a general appointed by the imperial court, and it is normal for him not to greet him, an official in Yizhou, and it is a very face-saving thing to be able to say this.
