Lu Zhi stood upright facing Liu Kuan's coffin for a long time, but the other party was as usual, not angry or complaining at all because the ridiculous argument of the person in front of him affected his affairs.
Lu Ziqian felt really sad and couldn't bear this scene, so he turned around and walked out.
Outside the charity house, it was not yet evening at this time, and the afternoon sunshine was still warm and pleasant. Gongsun Xun, who had lost his temper before, was holding an Amway exclusive pottery bottle filled with wine and saying something in public, without saying anything at all.
He noticed that his other teacher sat back in his seat under Lu Fan's slightly nervous gaze.
From what Gongsun Xun said so eloquently, he probably knew that the repeated drinking in front of the soul was against etiquette, especially since there were still a few people present who were theoretically required to obey filial piety, and filial piety was
Drinking is strictly prohibited. But on the other hand, today we are here to bid farewell to the coffin of Liu Wenrao, an elder in the country. Everyone knows that Liu Kuan was a drunkard and didn't care about anything at the same time, so it's not unreasonable...
Finally, Gongsun Xun still had a shy face and said something to stop people in public: "Therefore, if you are virtuous in what you do today, it will be assigned to your mentor. If there is any resentment, it will be mine. I hope you all can open your hearts."
Drink to send Master Liu to the east of the river for burial."
Starting from the general, I don’t know if there was any ‘entrustment’ secretly instigating or taking the lead. Anyway, most of the people stood up, and then most of them bowed slightly to Gongsun Xun according to their respective identities.
This move can be regarded as recognition of Gongsun Xun's arrangement as the person named by Liu Kuan to attend the funeral. To a certain extent, it is also recognized from a certain perspective, just like the banquet and the massive support of the spirit out of Luo.
He took over the political resources that Liu Wenrao had accumulated over decades... From today on, those who have had contact with Liu Kuan, those who have received Liu Kuan's kindness, and those who are Liu Kuan's disciples must face the consequences.
Gongsun Xun particularly respected San San.
In other words, this book is one of the relics that Liu Kuan gave to Gongsun Xun.
However, this is not over yet.
Because Liu Kuan is Liu Kuan, the funeral is a funeral, but Gongsun Xun is also Gongsun Xun.
He is General Wei, Jihou, one of the commanders who wiped out the Yellow Turban Rebellion, an old friend of General He Jin, and the main force in the execution of eunuchs in the past. He himself is the one who has failed many people's hopes.
The sharpest blade...he needs to make a clear response to his decision to stay or go.
"General Wei!" Just when the general, Kong Rong, was about to speak, another member of the army, Wang Yun, stood up solemnly. "I have something to ask you."
"Senior Brother Zi, please speak." Gongsun Xun held the corked pottery bottle, turned to the man and said seriously, "Why should we be so polite between you and me?"
"There are rumors along the way that General Wei will never return after crossing the river... Is this possible?" Wang Yun got straight to the point.
"I do have this intention." Gongsun Xun responded frankly. "I have made up my mind to go to Wangwushan in Hedong to deal with Master Liu's funeral affairs, and then I will go directly to his hometown in western Liaoning... I will see you next time.
, I don’t know what year and month it is?”
Although this statement has been circulated for a long time, it is not groundbreaking, but when it was said by Gongsun Xun personally, it still made many people look shocked.
When the world is safe, pay attention to your appearance; when the world is in danger, pay attention to your generals.
This dialogue between Lu Jia and Chen Ping is the political common sense that the elites of the Han Dynasty know well. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, not only was the world not stable, but it became increasingly dangerous. This is also what everyone knows.
Things you know. In this case, every move, advance and retreat of a person like Gongsun Xun will naturally affect people's hearts.
"Why is this so?" Wang Yun paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but asked bitterly. "The situation is critical now, and it is necessary for General Wei and General to work together to support the situation."
"Firstly, Master Liu had his last words before his death, saying that my moral character is shallow and needs to be sharpened by studying; secondly, my relatives and friends have passed away one after another, and I can't feel at ease." Gongsun Xun looked around with the wine bottle in his arms and replied slowly. "On weekdays,
, I always like to show it on my face when I encounter good things, but I don’t want to show it when I encounter sad things. So to tell you all, ten days ago, at Mengjin’s ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, I
Within a day, I received news of the death of three very close people... In addition to my mentor, Guo Dian, Guo Junye, the governor of Julu who fought alongside Hebei in the past, and Sima Zhi, Sima Shuyi, an acquaintance of Hanoi, were also informed of the death within that day.
.Human beings are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? All the close relatives and close friends around me withered in a day, how could I be indifferent?"
"General Wei, I have something to say." Kong Rong couldn't help but stood up and said with his hands. "Let's not talk about Liu Gong. The death of Sima Shuyi and Guo Junye is known to everyone in the world. Aren't their joints in Luozhong? Since
In this case, General Wei should concentrate on Luoyang."
"Brother Wenju said that wrong." Gongsun Xun took a long breath, then looked around and replied loudly. "The death of brother Shuyi and Guo Jun was not in Luoyang, but in Beigong! And on this point, I
How could you not know?"
The reactions everywhere were very strange. Some people looked pale and quickly lowered their heads, while others were excited and made a noise.
"What General Wei said is true!" Kong Rong was also agitated. He immediately couldn't bear it anymore and quickly asked more questions. "But Wenqi already knew, why, why did she return to her hometown to live in seclusion?"
"Because, I have already been to Beigong." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but replied quietly while holding a wine bottle under the afternoon sun. "Don't Brother Wenju know about this? And this is where I want to go.
Two reasons."
The surrounding area became quiet for a moment.
"What I, Gongsun, have done is upright and fair..." Gongsun Xun continued to speak loudly, without the slightest scruple. "That day, I went to the West Garden to meet the saint, told Chen Sima Shuyi and Guo Junye, and spoke frankly.
He told me that the world is in turmoil because the children of the eunuchs are causing trouble, but the emperor laughs and refuses to respond, and asks why my family has a fortune of over 100 million and cares about the benefits of the Western Garden? Let me tell you bluntly, the Gongsun family has a fortune of over 100 million, but not a single penny can be used to pay for it.
The eunuchs are lining their own pockets!"
At this point, Gongsun Xun suddenly turned to the person sitting on the seat nearby: "Mr. Cui, for five million yuan, you can ascend to the third position. How can you live in peace and quiet? I didn't know that your younger brother Cui Zizhen, your younger brother, died with only four walls in your family.
Have you ever envied your flexibility and wealth?"
Everyone turned to look at Cui Lie with complicated expressions. Cui Lie, who had just spent five million to become a Situ, was also stunned, and then became extremely ashamed and angry... He never expected that the topic would turn to himself, but in the presence of a large audience
I don’t even know how to deal with it!
After all, the matter of buying an official position was real, and it was the evil way of the emperor's wet nurse. He really didn't dare to refute it! Not to mention, Gongsun Xun also moved out his clan brother, who was a member of the Han Dynasty who died in poverty and had nothing.
Chen Cui! This is even more difficult to argue with.
As the Third Lord, sitting in the middle, but being scrutinized like a monkey by all the dignitaries in Luoyang, Cui Lie's face turned red, but he had no choice but to get up and hide his face and run away.
"Everyone."
Seeing that a Situ suddenly ran away, many people in the audience were frightened, fearing that he would be the next unlucky one. However, Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously and just took advantage of the situation and said back to him. "This is it."
The third reason why I had to leave... After the summons in Xiyuan failed, and when I came back and saw my mentor's coffin, I swore an oath in court that from now on, I, Gongsun Xun, would never spend a penny to buy an official position in Xiyuan.
He allowed the eunuchs to enrich their own pockets, so as not to stain the virtues of their mentors and the lives of their best friends!"
Everyone was finally speechless, or in other words, this reason could only be speechless.
"I said, today I will send you my mentor with a clear message. You don't have to be restrained... General, please have a drink!" After saying that, Gongsun Xun no longer paid attention to the two people behind him, but directly pulled out the cork of the bottle and personally
He poured a glass of wine for General He Jin and placed the pottery bottle on his desk. Then he turned around and took a new bottle from Han Dang who was following him.
However, just as I received the new wine, I suddenly heard many people behind me lamenting and sighing.
Gongsun Xun sighed, sneered again, but suddenly turned his head: "Why are you sighing?"
From where to go, everyone was silent for a moment and no one answered.
"I understand." Gongsun Xun sneered even more. "Don't you think that since I lost my master and friend, and was not favored by the emperor, and was forced to return home, I must be extremely sad and unbearable at this time?"
Everyone just stared at Gongsun Xun, but became increasingly silent.
"Let me tell you, you are overthinking it!" Gongsun Xun said, but suddenly turned back to look at General He Jin. "Does General have a sword?"
He Jin didn't know why, but he still took the sword from his waist and handed it to the other party.
Gongsun Xun thanked He Suigao, and then pulled out his sword directly. This was the sword of the majestic general. Naturally, it was a rare and outstanding sword. As the sun went down, the white blade flickered, making many people feel awe-inspiring. Some people
Even scared.
However, General Wei, holding the sword of the general, turned around and swung his sword to easily cut off the mouth of the pottery bottle in Han Dang's hand. Then he handed the knife to Lou Gui, who was following him on the other side, and then took the bottle.
Go forward and walk in front of Wang Yun.
"Senior Brother Zi, can you drink it? This is my family's special liquor. If you don't have ambition, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it." Gongsun Xun placed the cut bottle in front of Wang Yun and asked seriously, but the dignitaries around him did not dare to speak.
Just watching the two of them behave.
"General Wei cut a bottle to give him wine. Even if he can't drink it, he still wants to drink it!" After saying this, Wang Yun ignored the sharp edge of the bottle and stood up to take the wine. He tilted his head and poured a big mouthful of wine into his throat before wiping his mouth.
"It's a good drink!" Gongsun Xun looked at him seriously and praised loudly, but then turned around and said with his sword. "My lords, do you really think that I am discouraged and miserable when I go here? I once drank wine while serving my mentor, and he
The words of a drunkard that day left a deep impression on me... I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all my gold is gone!"
Everyone present was shocked.
"I spent all my money today in exchange for the fine wine in Luozhong just to respond to Master Liu's words and to encourage me!" Gongsun Xun said sternly, holding his sword. "Since you all have doubts about me, I will tell you everything sincerely now.
Well... I, Gongsun Xun, am leaving today for the purpose of coming back in the future! The farewell today is for the purpose of meeting again in the future! The retreat today is for the purpose of advancement in the future! Now that I am leaving and returning home, you don’t have to worry about my ambition.
There is no wavering at all, because sooner or later I will come here again, and then I will personally hold a white blade to clean the court and outline the four directions!"
Everyone looked excited, or turned pale with fright, or were so excited that they couldn't control themselves... Of course, some people couldn't help but feel terrified.
"Gentlemen." Gongsun Xun suddenly softened his tone. "On the contrary, what I am worried about is that the eunuchs are so powerful that when you are in Luozhong, you will gradually develop a complacency like Cui Lie...
…That’s why I cut the bottle with my sword and invite you to drink a glass of wine. Don’t forget your ambition!”
After saying that, Gongsun Xunfu cut the bottle with his sword again, but handed it to Kong Wenju who was beside Wang Yun. Kong Rong raised his head and drank, then he choked and burst into tears. However, the man was unwilling to let go and suddenly held the bottle and made a gesture.
The singing caused a lot of noise around them, and the banquet became lively in an instant.
After Kong Wen was elected, Gongsun Xun passed by Yuan Wei, but Yuan Ji ignored him. Instead, he led Lou Gui, Han Dang, and a long line of attendants holding bottles, directly to Yuan Shao, who had a complicated look on his face. He cut the bottle and offered a toast: "Brother Benchu."
, Luo Zhong will rely on you a lot in the next few years."
Yuan Benchu looked at Gongsun Xun seriously and without saying a word, he actually raised the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, which was really scary.
Gongsun Xun rarely laughed and said nothing, so he came to Yuan Shu. Yuan Jiujiu, not to be outdone, drank it all in one gulp just like Yuan Shao, despite his uncle's worries.
Later, Gongsun Xunfu came to Liu Yan again, raised a bottle and said sincerely: "Brother Junlang, you and I are old acquaintances, so it is inevitable to talk nonsense... The world is so fierce, how can we think about retreating instead of advancing? This is
If you don't fight for the world, how can there be peace?"
Liu Yan was so embarrassed that he could only stand up and thank the other party: "Wen Qi's arrogance is a hundred times better than mine."
Then, the man took a sip and put the bottle down helplessly.
Gongsun Xun shook his head and left. On the contrary, Liu Fan who was waiting on the side couldn't help but took the bottle of wine from his father, raised his head and drank a sip, but was choked again.
"Brother Jingsheng." Gongsun Xunfu came to Liu Biao again and cut a bottle in front of him. "Although this is our first meeting, I have heard of your name for a long time. You have been imprisoned by the party for many years. Do you still have your ambition?"
"Enough to drink a bottle of wine." Liu Biao was gentle and elegant. He stood up, took the wine, took a sip, and then placed it on the tables in front of him. He raised his head and promised. "General Wei, go away. I will drink this bottle of wine until dawn."
You have to drink it alone."
Gongsun Xun didn't take it seriously, turned around and came to Liu Yu's side.
"How fierce is General Wei's momentum?" Liu Yu took the wine and choked after one sip, but also smiled bitterly. "Even if I return to my hometown and live in seclusion, I am like a strong man going out to fight. I..."
"At that time, Mr. Liu was the governor of Youzhou. Although the fate was not formed, I have remembered the kindness." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "Although I, Gongsun, are tyrannical, he is not an unjust person.
So Mr. Liu, just drink it slowly."
Liu Yu stood up to see him off.
Next is Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was getting fatter, and he was sitting there without a confidant to accompany him. I don't know whether it was because the case department couldn't accommodate others or because everyone around him couldn't get on the stage, but no matter what, he was still calm, and it could even be said that his arrogance remained unabated.
When he saw Gongsun Xun coming, he immediately beamed with joy: "Wenqi! There are so many dignitaries here, but you came here specifically to find me. It seems that you are really nostalgic. I am also very grateful. There is only one thing... cutting bottles is a great ambition.
, but how can we use the general’s sword between you and me?”
"What Mr. Dong said is true." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh, and then he directly pulled out the broken blade from his waist that was used to clarify the relationship between the two when they first met. "This sword was given by Mr. Dong and has been with me for ten years.
There have been countless wars, big and small, and countless murders... Cutting someone else's bottle is certainly a bit bloody, but how could Mr. Dong dislike blood?"
Dong Zhuo heard this and saw the other party cutting the bottle with a broken blade, and then giving the wine to each other. He also laughed loudly, and drank heavily. After being angry, he wiped his lips and said: "The wine that Wenqi's daughter bought is indeed
Gentle. In fact, you can rest assured on me, because my ambition is just like this thousand-gold wine, and it has not fallen by half. When the war in Xiliang begins, I will do my best to quell the rebellion for the country and achieve success!"
"With such words, you can have another bottle." Gongsun Xun's response was extremely simple.
After passing Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Xunfu came to Lu Bu again and asked, "Can the tiger drink?"
Lu Bu stood up quickly: "General Wei gave it to me, why can't I drink it?"
Gongsun Xun wanted to say a few more words, but found that he was finally speechless... Because of his own nonsense, Lu Bu rose to prominence in the Yellow Turban, and now he has become a captain of the Northern Military Academy.
It should be noted that the Northern Military Academy Lieutenant was originally a noble official position. However, with the frequent wars in recent years and the addition of generals, left and right cavalry generals, generals of guard, and a bunch of generals, it evolved into a real job. What will happen in the future will really
Hard to say.
In this case, I have no choice but not to say anything.
Further behind is Xu Rong.
When Xu Bojin saw the other party approaching, he took a long breath, but simply avoided the table and bowed down, calling him "Jun Hou".
"You are in Luozhong. Don't think too much, don't cause trouble, and don't do anything without permission." Gongsun Xun came up and blocked the other party. "Whatever happens to the Northern Army as a whole, you will do it... I will have to come to the center sooner or later, so wait for me with peace of mind.
Just come back."
Xu Rong hesitated to speak, but in the end he just kowtowed and then drank from the bottle.
Up to this point, Gongsun Xun had already gone around in a circle, but if he looked carefully, there were still two people who had to go to give him drinks. It was awkward for these two people to meet each other at this time... However, after thinking about it, he had no choice but to
He shook his head slightly and faced each other forward.
"Father-in-law!" Gongsun Xun personally brought drinks to Zhao Bao. "I know you were very dissatisfied with me for doing things without authorization before, but look at this banquet now, it seems that the situation between scholars and officials is already at odds... In the past
This approach really doesn’t work anymore.”
"I'm not angry with you for returning home." Zhao Bao sighed. "It's not that you can't make a decision. What's more, I'm angry that you didn't tell me in detail. If you had told me about Sima Zhi, who had been remonstrating with you, and your Xiyuan
How could I be angry about the meeting with the Holy Spirit? The general situation is turbulent, and people are like floating dust. In the past, I only had to think about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, but now I have to deal with so many things... I am also in a dilemma!"
Gongsun Xun lowered his head and said nothing.
"It doesn't matter, you are still young, and you will come back sooner or later. Besides, you have been away from home for a few years. It would be a good thing to study and educate your children carefully." After saying this, Zhao Bao took the bottle and poured himself a glass.
"As for me, you can rest assured...although I am sometimes a little soft-hearted, I will not lose my integrity after all."
Gongsun Xun bowed and retreated, turned around and headed towards Lu Zhi. Lu Fan could see clearly over there and immediately abandoned his position and hurried to follow.
"Teacher." Gongsun Xun hesitated to speak. After all, he did not dare to cut the bottle. He could only uncork the bottle and hold several bottles of wine. "I have never heard you drunk in my life, but sometimes you are so drunk that it may not be the case."
Good thing."
Lu Zhi looked at his students, his expression remained motionless and silent, and he just nodded slightly.
When Gongsun Xun saw this, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. The other party was not extremely angry. After all, he didn't need to turn around and walk away... To put it bluntly, Gongsun Xun went too far in what happened today. After all, Lu Zhi Regardless of Gongsun Xun, even Lu Fan, who was present at the time, understood that with Liu Kuan's character, how could he talk about others in his suicide note? Those words were just something that Gongsun Xun vented out of his anger and gaffe. That’s all.
Therefore, if Lu Zhi is unwilling to nod, Gongsun Xun doesn't know how to deal with it... But after tonight, the teacher and student will be separated for several more years.
In this way, it was a messy night, and everyone came home drunk.
Even though Lu Ziqian had a strong drinking capacity and was not drunk after several bottles of strong liquor, he could not help but get drunk. Finally, he got into the car of his junior brother-in-law Yuan Kai and drove away in a daze.
And when the sky was dimming the next morning, Gongsun Xun did not say goodbye to everyone, but just escorted the coffin and coffin to the boat with the ceremonial guard together with Liu Song, and then went upstream with all his confidants.
At this time, the funeral of the late Lieutenant Liu Kuan came to an end in Luozhong, and the next matter of erecting a monument and burying him in Hedong has nothing to do with everyone.
At the ferry on the south bank of Mengjin, Yuan Benchu and a few sober people stayed up all night waiting until now, and then stood in the morning sun to see each other off from a distance, watching the ship gradually go away, and then turned around and left.
Xu You, who was Liu Kuan's disciple before and was wearing mourning clothes to help with the funeral, hurried after him, but he couldn't help but be shocked... because after Yuan Shao turned around, his expression was calm, and it could even be said that he looked angry.
"Why is this happening at the beginning?" Xu You quickly asked after getting in the car.
"I misjudged Gongsun Xun!" Yuan Shao laughed angrily. "I thought he was the master of the North, but I didn't expect him to have great ambitions! In the future, with the help of the Luoyang Center, he must be suppressed and lured! "
Xu You was confused: "What do you mean? How come I don't understand?"
"Of course you don't understand." Yuan Shao continued to sneer. "There are countless dignitaries and heroes here today, but I am afraid that I am the only one who understands. After all... Ziyuan, you didn't realize that his departure today is similar to my seclusion in Luoyang. Isn't it wonderful?! Those people talked a lot last night, but one thing was right - the hero of Hebei, this person should be number one!"
Xu You thought for a moment, then froze.
——————I am the dividing line of this accomplice——————
"Taizu, as Sima Zhishi, swore not to bribe Xiyuan a single thing, and said goodbye and returned home. Everyone comforted him. Yuan Shao was by his side, and he was also strong. When he returned, he exposed himself in the road. His confidants questioned him, and Shao said: ' I have been doing this for a long time to avoid disasters and to look forward to things, so he also has great ambitions. The world is in chaos, and who is going to compete with me for supremacy?'" - "Xin Yan Shu", Volume 26 .No. 1 in the family
