Liu Jing stood under Sun Jian's mural and stared at it for a long time. Contrary to the elegant and graceful image of other figures, Sun Jian was wearing a red turban and a military uniform, which was majestic.
Although it is just a mural, the artist's painting skills are obviously extraordinary. He not only painted Sun Jian's extraordinary heroic spirit, but also painted the firmness, majesty, and perseverance in his eyes...
Huan Yi walked to Liu Jing, looked at the portrait of Sun Jian, sighed heavily, and said: "In the past, Han Sui declared chaos in Xizhou in Bianzhang, and Marquis Wucheng joined the army to fight against the bandits with General Zhang Wenxi. At that time,
Dong Zhuo, a national thief, repeatedly disobeyed orders and acted rebelliously. Marquis Wu Cheng raised three charges against Dong Zhuo and urged Zhang Wen to kill him with military force. However, Zhang Wen was afraid of Dong Zhuo's reputation and military power and did not dare to give orders.
Later, when Marquis Wu Cheng came to Changsha, he always held my brother and I's hands and said: "Dong Zhuo will be a great trouble to the country in the future." It turned out exactly as he said. Seeing Dong Zhuo abolishing the emperor and bringing trouble to the world, Marquis Wucheng always hated Zhang Wen for his past.
If we don’t follow his words, why would the country be like this?”
Liu Jing was silent for a while. Zhang Wen always had a reputation for hard work, but like Duan Jiong and Cui Lie, he spent money to get to the position of the three princes, and his reputation plummeted. Dong Zhuo had fought for the country for decades, but he was still here.
When waiting for others, it is normal to feel dissatisfied and be a little lazy, and it is not regarded as retrograde by the outside world.
If Zhang Wen dared to kill Dong Zhuo without permission, not only would his army be dissatisfied, but he would also be imprisoned and punished by the court. At that time, the court would most likely execute him and send him to the Western Capital to appease the soldiers. How could Zhang Wen make fun of his own life?
To put it bluntly, even if Zhang Wen goes crazy and kills Dong Zhuo at all costs, can the Han Dynasty be prevented from overthrowing?
Liu Jing secretly shook his head. The defeat of the Han Dynasty was the result of many years. It is not the fault of one person. It can only be destroyed and rebuilt...
When looking at the portrait of Sun Jian, one cannot help but think of his son Sun Ce. If I remember correctly, he should have returned to Jiangdong by now, but the news has not reached Changsha yet.
Liu Jing asked Huan Yi: "Sir, do you know Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, the eldest son of Marquis Wucheng?"
"You actually know about Sun Bofu?" Huan Yi asked suspiciously. He was quite surprised when he heard Sun Ce's name from Liu Jing's mouth. The two of them should have had nothing in common.
Liu Jing smiled and said: "I once heard Kong Ming mention that when he was living in Huainan, he often heard his name. It was said that Sun Bofu was an ambitious young man and was outstanding and knowledgeable. He began to cultivate his reputation when he was more than ten years old. During his time as a filial piety for his father, he made friends with heroes from all over the world.
All the celebrities and heroes in the Jiang and Huai areas went to join him, which made him deeply jealous of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. After observing the filial piety, Sun Bofu joined Yuan Shu and led his troops on expeditions. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and was quite similar to his father Wucheng.
Hou Zhifeng."
Huan Yi was suddenly enlightened and said: "Sun Bofu once lived in Changsha for two years with Marquis Wucheng. At that time, he was only thirteen years old. He already had high ambitions. He not only practiced bow and horse diligently, but also devoted himself to learning.
Marquis Wucheng has high hopes for him and often says that his future achievements will be greater than his."
Liu Jing nodded, having a son like Sun Ce is indeed worthy of anyone's pride.
Liu Jing then walked along the wall. There were more than 800 officials in the hall, and there were many people watching the murals. However, where he passed, most of the officials chose to avoid him, and Liu Jing thanked them all.
After passing several portraits in a row, Liu Jing finally stopped and thought to himself: "Anti-Xu? This surname is quite rare." His image is the same as that of Sun Jian, both of them are warriors. Reading his achievements, he is from Danyang County, Yangzhou.
His courtesy name was Boxu, Marquis of Dongxiang. In the eighth year of Emperor Huan's reign during Emperor Huan's reign, he served as the prefect of Changsha. Along with General Du Shang of Zhonglang, he put down the Hu Lan and Zhu Gai rebellions in Guiyang.
Huan Yi said next to him: "Does Zhongda know Gongsun Ju and Guo Dou? They were rebels during the reign of Emperor Huan. They raised troops in Langya, established their own reign, and fought in Qing, Yan, and Xu states, and repeatedly defeated the king's army. The Marquis of Dongxiang used this as his farewell As a minister of the Ministry, he followed Zongzi, the general of Zhonglang, Duan Jiong pacified Gongsun Ju, and was granted the title of marquis after the rebellion of Guo Dou."
Liu Dingding nodded. Duan Jiong was one of the most famous generals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was well-known for his achievements in conquering the Qiang people. Unexpectedly, he also fought against rogue bandits in Guandong.
Liu Jing continued to move forward, passing several people as if he were just looking at things, until he saw an old, rather blurry portrait.
The face in the portrait is hard to see clearly, but one can vaguely identify him as an elegant man.
Zhi Yun, Liu Jing is quite familiar with this name. He is a character in "Dong Guan Han Ji". Liu Jing recently re-read "Dong Guan Han Ji" and was deeply impressed.
Zhi Yun, also known as Junzhang, was born in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. He was upright and admirable both as a person and as an official. When Wang Mang usurped the throne, he wrote a letter to ridicule him, which almost caused him to be killed. Later, Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty. In the imperial family, he was the tutor of the prince Liu Qiang, and advised Liu Qiang to give up the throne to protect himself. As a minister, he was between the emperor and his son, safeguarding and mediating, and with good intentions, he tried his best to ensure that the mother and son of Empress Guo died a good death.
Huan Yi said: "Zhi Shou, the son of Duke Zhi, was not as upright as Duke Zhi. The court directly criticized the powerful general Dou Xian, which made Dou Xian furious. He framed him for buying public land privately. Zhi Shou was sentenced to exile in Jiaozhou. , was forced to commit suicide.”
Dou Xian defeated the Huns and defeated Shi Yanran, and his achievements were comparable to Huo Qubing's sealing the wolf to Xu. On the other hand, he relied on his merits, acted domineeringly, colluded with his cronies, and wanted to rebel, and was eventually forced to commit suicide. It was also for this reason. He is far less famous than Huo Qubing.
Liu Jing said to Huan Yi: "I read "Dongguan Han Ji" and saw that when Duke Zhi was the governor of Changsha, there was a filial son in the county in ancient times. His father died but was not buried. A fire broke out in a neighbor's house and burned his father's coffin. In ancient times, people defended themselves regardless of danger, and the fire extinguished them."
Huan Yi didn't believe it at all. He shook his head and said: "The clothes on his body are all flammable. How can he destroy himself without burning? It must be that the world praises him for his filial piety in putting out fires, and he is deliberately exaggerating."
Liu Jingjing nodded and said, "I think so."
Afterwards, Liu Jing watched several more people. Time passed by in a hurry, and banquets were served one after another. Zhang Xian came out of the back room again and accepted birthday toasts from various officials.
Zhang Yi was the first to step forward and placed the wine glass in front of Zhang Xian. The waiter next to him said: "Linxiang, your Majesty, please serve the wine glass before you bow." Zhang Yi filled a glass of wine, and Su Rong replied: "The wine glass has been served." Then he raised it. The cup was drained in one gulp.
Since Zhang Yi was his son, he was also the first person to offer birthday wine. Zhang Xian drank the wine from the cup, and others did not have to do the same. After that, most of the officials who offered wine would take a sip to show their appreciation.
The waiter raised his voice and said: "I will serve you in the supervision of the market and then bow to you."
Liu Jing bowed down and said, "The wine is served." He poured himself a drink in front of Zhang Xian, then bowed and left.
After the Baishi officials finished paying their respects, everyone from the Dou Shi officials down knelt on the ground and offered wine together to congratulate them. Then the music from all four rooms started loudly, and the toasting session was officially over.
Zhang Xian moved his chopsticks symbolically, thus kicking off the banquet.
The officials in the county who had been hungry all morning did not show too much restraint, not to mention that the lower-level officials may not be able to eat meat and wine often on weekdays, so they immediately rolled up their sleeves and started eating and drinking.
