Chapter 7 Beihai proposes marriage, a famous family and a pure lady

Beihai County, Ju County.

Kong Rong, who was the prime minister of Beihai at that time, was determined to achieve peace. After taking office in Beihai, he gathered the soldiers and people, raised troops and taught martial arts, galloped around and summoned the governors, and led the states and counties to make plans.

At the same time, the city was fortified, schools were established, Confucianism was demonstrated, the virtuous were recommended, and preparations were made to achieve great success.

Not to mention whether Kong Rong had the ability to "appease difficulties", at least his ambition is worthy of admiration.

Wang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, and Sun Shao, the meritorious official, were all outstanding figures here. They were promoted to official positions by Kong Rong.

Beihai government office.

Wearing a mountain crown and a red official robe, Kong Rong sat upright with a worried look on his face. Even when he was handling government affairs alone, Kong Rong had very strict self-requirements for his sitting posture.

On the slips in front of Kong Rong, there is a row of bamboo slips.

The bamboo slip on the far right has the words "Yellow Turban Thief, Zhang Rao" on it.

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are most rampant in Beihai County, and now they are getting worse.

This makes Kong Rong very uncomfortable!

He was determined to appease Dong, but now he can't even quell the Yellow Turbans in Beihai County.

Although Captain Zongbao led the county soldiers to conquer many times, these frequent expeditions caused the Yellow Turbans in Beihai County to gradually gather in a few fixed strongholds from multiple strongholds and small scale at the beginning, and the scale also changed from being scattered everywhere in the beginning. The thirty or fifty people gradually turned into three to five hundred people, or even three to five thousand people.

The most rampant among them is Zhang Rao, who calls himself the Yellow Turban Qushuai, and his number of Yellow Turban soldiers has reached 10,000.

This contrast made it difficult for Kong Rong to believe that this was Beihai County that he governed personally!

Bao Bao Bao Bao

There was a slight sound of footsteps, and an attendant came forward and handed a bamboo slip to Kong Rong. His voice was soft but his words were clear: "Xiang Kong, this is what the royal secretary sent overnight from Gaomi County."

The king's master's book is Wang Xiu's current high-density order.

"Letter from Shuzhi!" Kong Rong's eyes stern.

Let Wang Xiu temporarily serve as the high-secret order, not only because Wang Xiu is an upright man, knows rewards and punishments clearly, and has the courage to restrain the powerful.

More importantly, Wang Xiu shouldered Kong Rong's secret order to marry Zheng Xuan!

A famous official like Zheng Xuan would be admired even by Kong Rong who was conceited about his talent and learning.

As soon as he read the contents of the letter, Kong Rong's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he subconsciously rubbed the corners of his eyes for fear of being dazzled.

"Mr. Kang Cheng wants to marry Su'er on behalf of his second son Zheng Ping?" Kong Rong couldn't help but exclaimed.

Kong Rong now has two daughters.

The eldest daughter is betrothed to the Thai goat, and the younger daughter Kong Su has just grown hair this year and is waiting to be married.

Su, that is, the original heart, the Qing Shu Qi is self-abundant in the original heart.

It also means to be clean and refined, to emerge from the mud without being stained.

Kong Rong had always had high expectations for Kong Su, his little daughter, and Kong Su did not disappoint Kong Rong. She had a gentle temperament, was knowledgeable and courteous, and had both talents and virtues. She learned almost all the advantages that a lady can have.

Kong Rong had long thought of marrying Zheng Xuan!

Zheng Xuan's eldest son, Zheng Yi, was a humble man and inherited Zheng Xuan's annotations on the scriptures, but he was already married.

Zheng Xuan's second son, Zheng Ping, was a genius and became famous at a young age. Now he has just reached his prime and is not yet married.

In terms of identity, talent, learning, virtue, age, and political ambition, Zheng Ping was Kong Rong's most valued son-in-law candidate.

But Zheng Ping traveled when he was sixteen and never returned home. Although Kong Rong wanted to marry, he could only let Wang Xiu, who acted for Gaotang Ling, express his intention tactfully.

Now Zheng Xuan took the initiative to send his eldest son Zheng Yi to Ju County as a betrothal gift. For Kong Rong, this was tantamount to joy falling from heaven!

This is not just as simple as finding a good son-in-law. The influence of Zheng Xuan, a famous official behind Zheng Ping, is even more important to Kong Rong.

"Pass the Prime Minister's order to command Captain Zongbao to immediately command five hundred troops and go to Gaomi County to protect Zheng Yi. Don't let the thieves intrude." Kong Rong stood up suddenly, unable to conceal his joy in his words.

Orders were conveyed quickly.

Kong Rong no longer had any thoughts about governing the country and returned to the inner court to inform Mrs. Chen and Kong Su about the matter.

Knowing that it was Zheng Ping, the second son of the famous official Zheng Xuan, Mrs. Chen had no objection, but Kong Su was uneasy.

at this time.

On the official road from Gaomi to Ju County.

Zheng Yi, a scholar in green clothes, led his troops and escorted the betrothal gift slowly.

As Zheng Xuan's eldest son, Zheng Yi inherited most of Zheng Xuan's advantages.

Self-disciplined, humble, upright, and eager to learn.

Although he is not as talented as Zheng Ping, his abilities in all aspects are very balanced. He can manage books and annotate canons, and can also govern a county.

Beside Zheng Yi, Zheng Ping is wearing a white shirt and a turban, with a jade pendant and a long sword hanging from his waist. He is holding the reins with one hand and shaking an exquisite feather fan with the other, looking as chic and elegant as an immortal.

Although Zheng Ping agreed to propose marriage to the Kong family, he decided to follow him to Beihai in person after reminiscing with Zheng Yi.

For a family of famous officials, marriage is unavoidable.

But Zheng Ping has the ambition to bring peace to the world, so naturally this marriage cannot be ignored. Whether it is worth marrying, Zheng Ping has to meet Kong Rong and his daughter in person before he can tell.

Zheng Yi looked very excited all the way: "My father often said that Kong Beihai had a free and easy temperament and was as heroic as a rainbow. He was full of guests and never had empty bottles of wine. His articles were also elegant and graceful. He was able to marry Kong Beihai's daughter with a plan.

It makes my brother envious!"

Zheng Ping gently swayed his feather fan, and there was a romantic charm in it: "If Kong Rong focused on writing books and establishing theories, he would definitely become a world-famous literary giant. However, his literature is vulgar, but he is not good at handling practical matters. Like Jiao He, he only talks about high things.

, which is of no use to the mediocre officials of the state and county.”

Zheng Yi's smile suddenly froze: "Xian Tie, we are going to Beihai to ask for a bride and give a betrothal gift! How can you ask for a marriage if you despise Kong Beihai so much?"

Suddenly, Zheng Yi regretted that he should not have allowed Zheng Ping to accompany him!

If this messed up the marriage proposal, Zheng Yi wouldn't even know how to explain it to Zheng Xuan after returning to Gaomi.

"Discussing the matter has nothing to do with seeking marriage." Zheng Ping calmed down slightly: "As the prime minister of Beihai, Kong Rong was committed to crusade against the Yellow Turbans, but his method was wrong."

"To pacify the Yellow Turbans, we must use both conquest and appeasement, kindness and power. But although Kong Rong had the intention to appease, he did not have the power to conquer."

"You can make the Yellow Turbans, who are not subordinate to each other and only have thirty or fifty people in a small stronghold, have more than ten thousand Yellow Turbans in just half a year. The military power of Prime Minister Beihai has long been gone!"

"If the Yellow Turbans continue to annex, within half a year, these Yellow Turbans will have to attack the city due to lack of food."

"By that time, Kong Rong probably won't even be able to defend Juxian County. How can he talk about being as heroic as a rainbow and elegant?"

Zheng Yi was speechless.

Zheng Yi, like Zheng Xuan, could not understand the general trend of military strategy.

"It's a conspiracy, but I can't defend you for my brother."

"But when asking for marriage, you have to be polite."

Zheng Yi gave up the argument with Zheng Ping. Although Zheng Yi was his elder brother in debate, he had never defeated Zheng Ping.

"It's just a joke in private, I won't say it in front of Kong Rong." Zheng Ping chuckled and stopped discussing this topic with Zheng Yi.

At this moment.

A scout came on horseback.

"Sir, someone is robbing you."

Zheng Ping's eyes suddenly turned cold.
