In the evening, in Lu Zhi's room, there was a table on the bed, and Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan were sitting opposite each other across the table... Their conversation fell into some kind of anxiety early on, and they couldn't help it. , the gap between the two sides is really too big!
To put it bluntly, what was the condition that Yang Ci passed through Liu Kuan? Let Lu Zhi give up!
This is not called peace talks, this is called persuading surrender. And how could someone like Lu Zhi surrender so easily?
Of course, there were too many scholars staying at the foot of Fengshi Mountain today because they drank too much. Even if the two big guys couldn't agree on a word, they would be embarrassed to leave...otherwise, someone might start teasing them. It's really disgusting for the two of them to shake hands and talk happily.
But just sitting like this will probably only make the atmosphere more and more stiff, especially when the weather is still so hot.
"Is it dark?" Liu Kuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, almost fell asleep on the desk. He didn't come back to his senses until he saw someone coming in and lighting a candle made of beeswax.
"That's right." Gongsun Yue, who came in to light candles, bowed his head and said yes. "Do you two mentors want some food?"
Liu Kuan, who was slumped, and Lu Zhi, who was sitting upright, looked at each other, and then nodded... Although they are not hungry, it is better to have something to fill their mouths than to endure it like this, right?
"Let's serve some food!" Lu Zhi ordered.
"If you still have wine stored in the well water, don't forget to bring it over. The weather is still unbearably hot." Liu Kuan added hurriedly.
"Here." Gongsun Yue agreed quickly.
However, a moment later, when the food was served, Gongsun Yue came over with a large wine jar that had a very different shape from that of the day. As soon as he opened the jar, the aroma of wine filled the room instantly... Not to mention Liu Kuan , even Lu Zhi looked over curiously.
"Report to the two elders." Gongsun Yue said carefully. "There was still some wine, but it has been distributed to the brothers who are anxious to return to Luoyang. This is another kind of good wine, with a fragrant and sharp taste. It is said that three bowls are not enough. ! This is the secret brewing recipe that my aunt got from Qingzhou at a high price. It is said that there is a hill there called Jingyanggang..."
Before the story was finished, Liu Kuan was already in high spirits.
Lu Zhi, on the other hand, was more direct. He was stroking his beard and sneering the whole time. He didn't know whether he was laughing at the nonsense story about fighting a tiger, or at the tone of "three bowls are not enough"!
After a while, Gongsun Yue bowed and retreated, then went straight to the backyard.
"Did you drink?" In the backyard, Gongsun Xun was circling restlessly. When he saw Gongsun Yue coming back, he immediately asked.
"How is it possible not to drink?" Gongsun Yue replied after wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Both of these two are recognized as good wines in Luozhong. They were full of smiles when they heard the allusion about three bowls not being enough. Not convinced, I already drank two bowls each before I even came out..."
Gongsun Xun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just brother..." Gongsun Yue suddenly stopped talking.
"I have made up my mind." Gongsun Xun replied without raising his head. "Looking at the rumors in the past few days, the princes in the court will definitely not give Master Lu a chance again, and if this continues, he will definitely become like that wine It is usually refrigerated in the cellar... He may have brought it upon himself to refrigerate it himself, but he will harm our brothers? I am definitely not convinced!"
"That's not what I meant." Gongsun Yue waited for the other party to finish before explaining helplessly. "I just want to ask... is it really unnecessary to tell Brother Bogui about this matter?"
Gongsun Xun was startled when he heard this, and after a long time he raised his hands and replied: "His natural luck lies on the shore... And if this matter is exposed, we are afraid that we will be driven back to Liaoxi by Master Lu. In this case,
Why bother him?"
Gongsun Yue pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Is the eldest brother gone?" Gongsun Xunfu asked again. "He didn't suspect anything, did he?"
"We have already escorted those brothers who want to go back to Luoyang." Gongsun Yue quickly replied. "And I don't have any doubts. I just thought we really wanted to bring about harmony between the two teachers."
"That's good."
"Brother..."
"What else?" Gongsun Xun was already a little angry.
"Is Xu You really reliable?" Gongsun Yue lowered his voice and asked sincerely.
"It's not that Xu Ziyuan is unreliable," Gongsun Xun sighed. "It's that you and I have a poor foundation in Luozhong, so we can only rely on this person!"
Gongsun Yue heard this and was about to speak again, but was interrupted by his brother: "Go to Brother Ziheng's room and see if his 'article' is ready!"
Gongsun Yue became increasingly helpless, but he could only bow his head and say yes:
"Here!"
In this way, after his family brother left, Gongsun Xun, who had been hiding for a whole day, finally put down his hands behind his back - without him, these hands were shaking unconsciously when he spoke just now, and he couldn't suppress them at all.
, that’s why I have to hide it behind my back!
At this moment, Gongsun Xun looked at his slightly trembling hands and was confused for a moment, because when it came to being nervous and uneasy, he, the chief messenger, was probably even worse than Gongsun Yue, but he couldn't help it.
Just show it.
In summer, it gets dark very quickly, and after a while, the charity house opposite starts to make a routine noise again. The voices of three pigs and two monkeys can be faintly heard across the official road, and Gongsun
Xun Ze continued to stand at the door of the backyard with his hands behind his hands, waiting for news from all sources:
First, the Goguryeo maid sent out came to report that half the jar of wine was gone, and the two nobles were already half drunk, and they were just waiting for the stamina to kick in and fall down;
Then Lu Fan asked Gongsun Yue to come over and said that the word "article" was wrong and it was too important to erase, so he had to write it again. Please be patient, young master;
Then, Han Dang brought Xu You over, and the latter actually wanted to ask Gongsun Xun whether the house promised to him could be moved to the south of Luoyang City? Because there are many wealthy people in the south of the city, it is convenient for him to socialize...
At this time, Gongsun Xun didn't know whether to admire his determination or his insatiable greed.
But all in all, in the evening at about the end of Xu Shi and the beginning of Hai Shi, things finally came to a good result one by one as planned - Xu You was completely satisfied; Lu Fan also wrote his article; and more importantly,
, Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi finally got drunk and fell on the bed!
Ever since, Gongsun Xun also officially started his plan.
"Brother Xun, please take a look." In his room, Lu Fan, sweating profusely, handed over an open bamboo slip.
"Good document." Under the light, Gongsun Xun briefly examined the other party's 'article', and then nodded repeatedly. "It's 80% to 90% similar to Master Lu's handwriting!"
"I'm afraid it's difficult not to be similar." Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "On weekdays, I am responsible for proofreading Mr. Lu's official documents... Don't worry, not only the handwriting, but also the writing style can be 70% or 80% similar."
"Really?" Gongsun Xun was really surprised this time.
"Master Lu is not someone who likes to extract chapters and sentences." Lu Fan shook his head and explained. "The article is concise and direct, so it is easy to imitate..."
"This is better, this is better." Gongsun Xun looked at the words above and nodded repeatedly. "Where is the other one?"
"Here it is." Lu Fan handed over another bamboo slip. "I saw the manuscript of Liu Gong brought by Xu You. The handwriting can be roughly imitated."
"That's enough." Gongsun Xun nodded again. "Anyway, the content is the same, we just changed the tone. Shouldn't we... put the seal on it?"
This time, neither Gongsun Yue next to him nor Lu Fan in front of him spoke.
"Ah Yue, go and get Master Liu's sealing ribbon!" Gongsun Xun seemed to have expected it. He gritted his teeth and ordered. "Brother Ziheng opened the mud pill and I will seal it myself!"
The two looked at each other and had no choice but to do as they were told.
Han system, the most reprinted letter!
Generally speaking, an official is only eligible to take over the official seal after accepting an appointment. Once he resigns or dies, he usually has to hand over the seal... In fact, most cases of seal loss only occur when soldiers die in battle.
in this kind of incident.
On the other hand, once a document has a formal seal mark, it generally represents the most formal and direct attitude of the corresponding official. It can be regarded as an administrative order to the subordinates and the final statement to the superiors.
Therefore, what Gongsun Xun wants to do is very simple. Since Lu Zhi is unwilling to seek truth from facts, then he should help him seek truth from facts!
That's right, he was going to make a fake letter and submit it to the emperor in the names of Lu Zhi and Liu Kuan!
The content of the fake book is very simple, and leaves room for both parties - isn't the Xiping Stone Classic engraved on a stone tablet? But the tablet has a front and a back. The front is engraved with modern civil sciences, and the back can be engraved with ancient texts!
This idea originated from Aunt Gongsun’s letters, but it was adapted to local conditions by Gongsun Xun—for example, he specifically asked Liu Kuan to come over!
Didn't Liu Kuan major in "Korean Poetry"? Wasn't he a lenient person known throughout the Han Dynasty? Wasn't he seen today by a large group of scholars who wanted to harmoniously discuss the ancient and modern literary disputes with Lu Zhi?
Isn't that just right? Let Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi have a "harmonious discussion" and "jointly submit a letter" to the emperor, and then tell the emperor that the inscription on the "Book of Songs" should be engraved with "Han Shi" on the front and "Mao Shi" in ancient Chinese on the back.
Got it!
Let’s see where the situation goes after this joint petition is delivered to the emperor!
Anyway, no matter where he goes, Gongsun Xun no longer has to stay here in Fengshi Mountain to serve Lu Zhi, right?
The plan is audacious, but in fact it doesn't have much risk... because there is a key figure in this plan, Liu Kuan!
Liu Kuan's generosity and confusion have reached an incredible level. Regardless of whether it is true or false, he should continue to maintain this style. Therefore, after the incident, whether it was to avoid losing his official position or he would think that it was Lu Zhi's fault.
Because...he will most likely recognize the existence of this letter anyway!
And once he admitted the existence of this letter, co-signer Lu Zhi couldn't refute it! Otherwise, could he want Liu Kuan to lie?
In other words, even if Lu Zhi is as shrewd as a ghost and knows in his heart that Gongsun Xun did it, as long as he does not bring down the great scholar to retaliate and punish him privately, Gongsun Xun will be fine.
And besides, when that time comes, Lu Zhi is most likely going to edit "Mao's Poems", so he won't have time to take revenge on Gongsun Xun. He might have already taken the opportunity to go to Liu Kuan and continue his work in Luoyang.
Hanging out.
Of course, the premise of everything is that Lu Zhi will not show shame and kill him... And when it comes to this, didn't the omniscient Aunt Gongsun write it in the letter?
Lu Zhi may not be a scary person!
While he was thinking wildly, Lu Fan beside him had already melted into mud pills, and Gongsun Yue also took back Liu Kuan's seal ribbon with a look of panic on his face - when the latter was changing clothes, he threw the entire court uniform directly into the room.
In other words, since the writing performance of paper needs to be improved and it cannot be popularized, the official official slips of the Han Dynasty are still wooden slips or bamboo slips, and the slips are tied into strings with ropes. After the letters are written on the slips and rolled into bundles, the ropes
Not only can it be tied tightly, but it also has another important function, which is to seal it with mud!
Take out the square wooden groove that has been prepared in advance, put part of the rope leading out of the book into the groove, then put in the clay balls dissolved in water, and finally... seal it!
This is the origin of fire paint and ink pads in later generations.
Since the memorial was submitted jointly, Gongsun Xun tied the ropes of the two letters together and tied a knot this time, then added the clay balls and stamped Liu Kuan's silver Guangluxun official seal.
The silver seal was actually very small, only one finger long and wide. However, after completing this action, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but gasped: "There is also Master Lu's doctor seal... Those two were completely drunk.
Who will get it for me?"
Gongsun Yue and Lu Fan looked at each other, both wanting to speak but hesitating.
"Is there no one to help me share my worries?" Gongsun Xun didn't even notice that his tone had changed... Only then did he remember that the plan was indeed a good one, but the premise was not only that Lu Zhi was 'not scary', but more importantly,
You can't be caught doing something like this to your head?!
If he was discovered when he went in and copied the letter on Lu Zhi's waist, what a fool would he be?!
"Brother, forget it!" Gongsun Yue swallowed his saliva and said. "It doesn't matter if you study hard at Goushi for a year. If you really can't stand it, let's go back to Liaoxi!"
"Young Master." Lu Fan, who had just written a fake memorial for the two two-thousand-stone bosses, now felt a little guilty. "It's still too late to stop now!"
"Ha!" After the two men persuaded him, Gongsun Xun laughed instead. "I once heard my mother say that the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string! We have already reached this point, how can we retreat? This is the principle of doing things.
?"
The two people in the room changed their minds and gritted their teeth to agree.
"You don't have to!" Gongsun Xun immediately waved his hand and said, "I was originally in charge of this matter, so the key things will naturally be done by me!"
After saying this, Gongsun Xun pushed the door open and walked out without waiting for the two men to react.
I don't know how long it took...actually it didn't take long...Gongsun Xun left and came back again, and there was another silver seal tied with a green ribbon on his hand.
The most difficult level was over, and now the three of them moved more swiftly. They continued to tie knots, melt mud, and seal. After a while, another mud seal was added. Then Lu Fan took a knot covered with silk.
He carefully placed the two connected letters into the wooden box.
The matter has come to an end.
But it’s just the end, it’s not over yet!
"Put away the ribbon seal and call Xu You quickly." Gongsun Xun immediately ordered, and then he fell down on the bed.
Lu Fan and Gongsun Yue did as they were told, and within a short while, Xu You came over accompanied by Han Dang.
"Brother Ziyuan, I'll leave the matter to you." Gongsun Xun pointed to the sealed wooden box and said. "After the matter is completed, not only will I be sent to a house in the south of Luoyang City, but I will also be thanked in other ways!"
Hearing this, Xu You immediately beamed with joy: "Please rest assured, Brother Xun, I, Xu Ziyuan, will never let anything go wrong! I will set off now and wait outside Luoyang City all night. When the city gate opens at dawn, I will
Go directly to Cai Yong... He is too easy to fool. With the seals of Master Liu and Duke Lu here, there will be no doubt. When Master Liu returns to the city tomorrow, this letter will have been delivered to the emperor, and then Liu
The teacher has no choice but to acquiesce...it's absolutely foolproof!"
"Please, Brother Ziyuan!" Gongsun Xun stood up and bowed.
Xu You accepted it calmly, turned around and left with the wooden box in hand.
On the other side, Han Dang was about to follow, but was unexpectedly grabbed by Lu Fan. The latter quietly pointed at the former's saber...Han Dang understood, nodded slightly, and then turned back to catch up.
As soon as the person left, all three people in the room were speechless.
After a long time, Gongsun Yue stood up and said, "I'm going to put Master Liu's seal and ribbon back."
Gongsun Xun also stood up: "I almost forgot, I have to hurry here. Master Lu has the seal ribbon tied around his waist."
Lu Fan wanted to say something, but couldn't say even a single word.
"Everyone has worked hard all day." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this. "You don't have to come back after sending Ayue back. Just go and rest. Brother Ziheng, too. You can also rest directly. I won't come. Now that things have happened,
We can only wait for the good news!"
Lu Fan and Gongsun Yue nodded together, and the three of them separated.
When they arrived at Lu Zhi's room, the situation was indeed the same as before. Liu Kuan was sleeping soundly on the table, while Lu Zhi was lying on the bed opposite the former... Gongsun Xun breathed a sigh of relief and carefully sealed Lu Zhi's PhD certificate.
Tie it back to the opponent's belt.
Only then did he relax completely.
However, just when Gongsun Xun turned around and was about to slip out, an unintoxicated question came from behind him: "Do you know that according to Han law, he stole two thousand stone seal ribbons and became a forger...
Should I beheaded?"
For a moment, Gongsun Xun was speechless, sweating profusely, and unable to move his limbs.
"Lu Zhi established his school in Goushi and was calm about things. At that time, there was a locust plague and the people were frugal. Some thieves took advantage of his sleep at night and broke into his house. When Zhi Yin saw him, he still pretended to be asleep and allowed them to search for his body. He was about to leave, but he got up.
After straightening the brush, he said to him in a serious tone: "Madam, you can't help but encourage yourself. People who are not good may not necessarily be evil, but they are accustomed to it, so they end up like this." The thief was so frightened that he threw himself to the ground and blamed his crime. Zhixu said it with an example.
"If you look at your appearance and you don't look like a bad person, you should be self-denial and do good." So he accepted him as a disciple, and there will be no more thefts in the county." - "Shishuo Xinyu", Guizhen Chapter
