10. Tao Yuanming with clear tears and double hanging
Xie Xuan left the Qiangwei Courtyard and went to visit Xie An first. Xie Wan and his two uncles exchanged a few words before having a meal before leaving the house and rushing to Da Sima's Mansion. At this time, the Jingzhou sergeant who was escorting Sima Xun to rebel against the party was escorted.
Also entered the city.
When Xie Xuan saw Huan Wen, he reported that Sima Xun had arrived and handed over Huan Huo's secret letter to Huan Wen. After Huan Wen read the letter, he nodded and said: "Chen Cao's information is good. Fu Jian has Wang Jinglue to help him, and Sifu rebels."
It’s not enough to touch its roots——”
Huan Shixiu asked: "Uncle, is there any new news coming from Chang'an?"
Huan Wen nodded and said: "Wang Meng made urgent arrangements when the rumors first started. Huayin, Shaanxian, Pucheng, Chengcheng and other places bordering Xianbei Murong were all entrusted with generals loyal to Fu Jian to guard heavily. Those who rebelled against Shaanxi City were stationed there.
Fu Yu was killed by Mao Song, who was sent by Wang Meng to Wu Meng in Shaanxi City. The rebellion in Shaanxi City was put down within half a month. Shaanxi City is not far from Tongguan and is the key point in Guanzhong. The rebellion in Shaanxi City subsided. Murong Ke thought
Taking advantage of the chaos to attack Guanzhong would be very difficult. In addition, Fu Jian sent the rear imperial general Yang Chengye to attack Fu Shuang, Wang Meng, and Deng Qiang to attack Fu Liu in Pu Ban. The former general Yang An attacked Fu Wu in Anding, and even sent the left guard.
Fu Ya, Zuo Jin and Dou Chong led seven thousand Yu Lin cavalry to follow, and it will not be difficult to put down the Four Fu Rebellion."
Huan Xi said: "I wonder what the Xianbei people are doing?"
Huan Wen said: "Murong Chui has led Fu Yan and Murong Chen, commanding 30,000 cavalry, to advance towards Lingbao and Tongguan. Murong Ke mobilized 80,000 troops in Yecheng to go to Puban area to cross the Yellow River to attack the key points. Qin and Yan fought fiercely.
Trigger, haha, let the two bandits fight, and then I will wipe them out one by one."
Xie Xuan was not aware of Chen Caozhi's plan for the Northern Expedition for Huan Wen, so he was surprised to hear it.
The gatekeeper came to report that Tao Yi, the prefect of Wuchang, asked to see him. Huan Wen asked curiously, "Why is Tao Yi here?"
Xie Xuandao: "Prefect Tao came to Jiankang in the same boat as me——"
Tao Yi, the prefect of Wuchang, was unable to govern due to illness, so he asked for leave from the governor Huan Huo. This time he came to Jiankang with Xie Xuan's ship to seek medical treatment. His wife Meng and his three-year-old son Tao Qian also arrived with the ship, and they arrived in the capital.
, of course you have to pay a visit to the Grand Sima Hengwen. Tao Yi's grandfather was the former Grand Sima Tao Kan. Tao Kan had a good relationship with Huan Wen's father Huan Yi. Tao Yi's father-in-law Meng Jia was a famous scholar. When Huan Wen was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, Meng Jia was the governor of Jingzhou.
Huan Wen's staff joined the army and were famous for their literary talents. On the Double Ninth Festival, Huan Wen hosted a banquet at Longshan, and his assistants gathered together. At that time, the assistants and assistants were wearing military uniforms. An autumn wind came and blew off Meng Jia's hat. Meng Jia didn't notice it, so Huan Wen asked the people around him to be silent.
In order to observe his behavior, after a while, Meng Jia went to the toilet. Huan Wen ordered him to take his hat and put it in front of Meng Jia's seat. He also ordered Sun Sheng to write an essay to mock Meng Jia. The mocking essay was put together with the hat. When Meng Jia came back, he saw:
He responded with his pen, and his writing was so beautiful that the four people sighed. Later generations used the word "Meng Jia dropped his hat" to describe the elegance, freedom and quick thinking of talented people and famous people——
Meng Jia has passed away. Huan Wen sighed when he saw Tao Yi. When he asked about Tao Yi's condition, he was suffering from stomachache and vomiting blood, so he comforted him to rest assured and nurse himself back to health. Suddenly he remembered Chen Caozhi's medical skills. All the famous doctors in Beijing thought that Xie Daoyun's disease would be incurable.
But he was cured by Chen Caozhi, and Huan Wen said: "Tao Jun wants to cure his stomach disease. I recommend a person for you. He is the new Sima of Sizhou, Chen Caozhi. Chen Caozhi is a disciple of Ge Zhichuan. His medical skills are as good as those of God. He is waiting for you."
When you diagnose and treat someone, Tao Jun doesn't know Chen Caozhi, so he asked Xie Peng to accompany you to seek medical advice."
Xie Xuan was even more surprised when he heard that Huan Wen said that Chen Caozhi was the new Sima of Sizhou. He already knew about Huan Wen's deposed emperor and established Langya king, but he didn't know about some of the edicts at the beginning of this month, and it was inconvenient to ask more at this time, so he said
: "Where does Tao Shijun live? If Chen Zizhong is free, I will accompany him to visit Tao Shijun tomorrow."
Tao Yi explained that there was a courtyard built by his grandfather Tao Kan on the east side of Qingxi Gate. Knowing that Huan Wen had something to do, he left without further gossip.
Huan Wen asked Xie Xuan about the details of quelling Sima Xun's rebellion. Xie Xuan came one by one. Huan Wen was very happy and said, "Xie Xuan has made great military exploits this time. I would like to report to the court to reward him." Huan Wen now regards the Xie family in Chen County.
Tried his best to win over.
Xie Xuan had dinner at Huan Wen's house and said goodbye to his house in Wuyi Lane. Only then did he have time to have a long talk with his two uncles Xie An and Xie Wan. He learned about the changes in the Jiankang government and the country in the past month, and that Huan Wen ordered Chen Cao to
Later, Xie Yan assisted Huan Xi in rebuilding the Beifu army. Xie Xuandao said: "I want to have a long talk with Zizhong."
Xie Wandao: "Before going to talk to Cao Zhi, you might as well talk to A Yuan first."
Xie Xuan responded with a smile: "Yes."
Xie Xuan came to Qiangwei Courtyard. Xie Daoyun was studying at his desk. When he saw Xie Xuan come in, he put away his paper and said with a smile: "Are you having a banquet at Duke Huan's place?"
Xie Xuan responded and asked, "When did Zizhong go? Why didn't he have dinner at the house?"
Xie Daoyun said: "He left a long time ago. He will return to Qiantang in three days. There are a lot of trivial matters."
Xie Xuandao: "Zi is about to leave Beijing, and Governor Tao of Wuchang still wants to ask him for medical treatment."
Xie Daoyun smiled. In the afternoon, she also heard from Chen Caozhi that a lot of people had come to seek medical treatment recently, and they were very disturbed.
Xie Xuandao: "Sister, I think it is not necessarily a good thing for Zizhong to be favored by Huan Grand Sima. If Beifu is built and Duke Huan takes control of Jingkou, the gateway to Jiankang, something extraordinary will happen. Zizhong may rise to great heights, or his reputation may be ruined.
She has a lot to do with me, the Xie family."
When Xie Daoyun heard the last sentence, his face turned red and said, "Then you can go and advise Zizhong."
Xie Xuan said with a smile: "My sister is the one who knows the most important thing. I can just ask my sister."
Xie Daoyun snorted and said seriously: "There are some things, why bother to ask, who is Huan Bodao? Who is Chen Zizhong? Who is my Yuandu?"
Xie Xuanxin understood that Huanxi was a mediocre person, how could he compare with Chen Caozhi and Xie Yan? Huanxi could not control the military power of the Beifu, and said: "I haven't heard of Zi Zhonggao's talk for a long time, so I will go find him and have a long night talk now."
Xie Daoyun said "hmm" and reminded: "Zi Zhongzhong has not stayed in Gu's house, but has moved to the east garden of his Chen residence."
Xie Xuan said happily: "It's very good. It will be convenient for me to visit my sister in the future."
Xie Daoyun was about to express his anger, but Xie Xuan had already stood up and walked out quickly. The hearty laughter came back, making Xie Daoyun's cheeks hot. She couldn't help but think of Chen Caozhi asking her to call her husband in the afternoon, and thought to herself: "Zizhong
I am about to return to Qiantang, but I refuse to call him husband, will I feel unhappy? Lu Weirui has been with him for a long time, so she will definitely call him in private. Lu Weirui has a gentle temperament, and I can't compare to it——"
Although Xie Daoyun is extremely talented, when it comes to the word love, it is inevitable that he will be heartbroken and worry about gains and losses.
…
Xie Xuan came to the east garden of Chen's house on the south bank of the Qinhuai River. Chen Shang greeted him and sat down in the hall. He said that his sixteenth brother had not come back from the Lu Mansion.
Let’s talk.” He thought to himself: “Zizhong is really busy, and the ladies on the left and right have to take care of him.”
Xie Xuan and Chen Shang talked for half an hour. It was already the end of Haishi, and they saw Chen Caozhi come back. When they talked about Tao Yi's medical treatment, Chen Caozhi asked: "Does Tao Shijun have a son named Tao Qian and Tao Yuanming?"
Xie Xuanqi said: "Tao Shijun has a son named Tao Qian, who is only three years old. How can he have a cousin name? How can Zizhong know the name of a three-year-old child?"
Chen Cao thought to himself: "Tao Yuanming was only three years old. According to historical records, his father died when he was nine years old and he lived with his mother in his maternal grandfather's house. Could it be that Tao Yi only had six years to live?" He said, "I once heard someone say that Tao Kan had a great-grandson.
Extremely intelligent." Then he changed the topic and said, "I haven't discussed mysteries with you for a long time, so tonight I want to try my hand at eloquence."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "It's what you wish for."
The two of them talked around the fire at night, and they were very excited. They didn't know how white the east was.
Early the next morning, Xie Xuan went to Da Sima's Mansion to wait on him. He followed Huan Wen into Taicheng to meet Emperor Sima Yu and report the rebellion of Sima Xun. More than a hundred members of Sima Xun's party were beheaded, and the rebel wives and daughters were given to soldiers as slaves.
His wife, Xie Xuan, was promoted to the fifth rank of Jianwu General due to his meritorious service, and supervised the military affairs in the north of the Yangtze River.
In the afternoon, Xie Xuan accompanied Chen Caozhi to Tao Yi's residence in the east of Qingxi Gate. Tao Yi saw Chen Caozhi and expressed his admiration. Chen Caozhi said humbly: "I am young and have little knowledge of medicine.
, I really don’t dare to treat other people’s illnesses, my reputation is false and not worthy of trust.”
Tao Yi came to Beijing for one day and had already heard many anecdotes about Chen Caozhi. He smiled and said: "Chen Sima does not need to be too modest. I hope Chen Sima can help."
Chen Caozhi diagnosed Tao Yi's pulse and asked about the cause and course of his illness. He concluded that Tao Yi suffered from gastric bleeding. Remembering that Tao Yuanming was addicted to alcohol, he asked, "Is your Majesty a good drinker?"
As expected, Tao Yi said: "There is no joy without wine."
Chen Caozhi shook his head and said: "Your stomach ailment is serious, so you can no longer drink alcohol. I have written to my former teacher, Mr. Zhichuan, a prescription for nourishing the stomach, and I will take it for a long time. Although you cannot be cured, you should be fine."
When Tao Yi heard that Chen Caozhi asked him to quit drinking, he disagreed. The one he most admired was Liu Ling from the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Liu Ling said: "Liu Ling was born, named after wine. He drank one dendrobium and five buckets of wine to relieve the poison."
Be careful not to listen to what other people say." Chen Caozhi asked him to stop drinking, but he couldn't listen to what the doctor said -
Xie Xuandao: "Where is your young master? Zizhong has also heard of your fame and would like to meet him."
Tao Yi thought curiously: "A dog is stupid and childish, but it has a reputation for intelligence!" But he was very happy in his heart and ordered the waiter to pick up Tao Qian.
When he was still moving, a servant woman came in with a three-year-old child. The child was less than three feet tall, with loose hair, a short coat, a slightly narrow face, and bright eyes. He had felt some wind and cold on the boat the day before yesterday.
He had a runny nose, and the maid sipped it before he entered the hall. After not even taking two steps, his nose was clear and his nose was clear, and he was stretching and contracting——
Chen Cao saw Mr. Jingjie's runny nose when he saw "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains". The gap between the image of a Taoist scholar in his mind was so huge that he wanted to laugh in his heart. He took little Tao Qian's hand and asked some questions.
Xiao Tao Qian also spoke clearly. Chen Caozhi praised him a few words and then said goodbye to Xie Xuan -
Xie Xuandao: "This three-year-old child is not very smart and deserves such attention!"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "The future of a child is unlimited. It depends on his fortune."
