Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, brothers are brothers. This short greeting can let Xun Yu know whether Xun Chen's words are sincere or not.
His heart softened at that moment.
"You Ruo, you used to serve Yuan Shao, and now you are under the command of the pottery merchant. Are you still used to it?" Xun Yu also expressed concern for him.
Xun Chen sighed and said: "Although I have never served one master, I am lucky that Tao Cheng is good to me, and now I can be regarded as a minister of the emperor. Now it seems that it is a good destination."
"A minister of the emperor's seat?"
Xun Chen shook his head and said: "Brother, what you said is a bit extreme. After all, the emperor is young. If he does not rely on Tao Xiang to assist him, at his current age, how can he be in charge of PepsiCo? How can he put down the puppet dynasty? If the emperor is
If Cao Sikong is assisting him, can Cao Sikong let a four or five-year-old child take charge of such a major event in the world?"
This grab for the white spot completely made Xun Yu unable to answer.
There is nothing wrong with what he said, and there is nothing unreasonable about it.
The emperor is young, this is an indisputable fact, it is useless to try to argue with him!
But Xun Chen suddenly sighed and said, "Brother, what is your ambition?"
Xun Yu didn't expect that Xun Chen would suddenly ask him such a question.
But Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know what my ambition is?"
Xun Chen looked at him carefully and said seriously: "Brother, do you want to be the founding hero who changed the dynasty?"
Xun Chen's words almost made Xun Yu fall to the ground.
Listen! Listen! Is this considered human language?
"When did I become a hero in changing the dynasty?" Xun Yu gritted his teeth and glared at Xun Chen angrily.
Xun Chen's eyebrows were the same: "If you don't want to be the hero of the change of dynasty, why are you following Cao Cao?"
This is a bit much.
Xun Yu's tone became stern: "Only you and the potter are allowed, why aren't Sikong and I allowed to bring peace to the world? To benefit the world?"
Faced with Xun Yu's irritability, Xun Chen didn't show any anxiety at all. He just smiled lightly and said: "Brother, you are mistaken. The person I am following is not Prime Minister Tao, but the imperial court... Of course, you might say
Today, there is not only one court in the world. Yes, I admit that there is another one in Jingzhou in the south. The pseudo-emperor Liu Qiong is also the son of the late emperor. If you serve in the pseudo-dynasty, I can reluctantly say that you are helping to protect the Han Dynasty. But
He was deceived and chose the wrong leader... But what did Cao Cao have? He was swinging between the two courts, going back and forth. Who was the person he wanted to protect? Have you ever thought about this? I don’t think you
never thought about!"
Xun Yu's breathing became obviously a little rapid.
"Is it possible that you think Cao Cao can replace the two sons of the late emperor and become the common leader of the world? By then you will be the founding hero of the Cao family?"
"You fart!" Xun Yu finally broke out: "What are you talking nonsense about? Believe it or not, I will find someone to kill you right now!"
A look of mourning appeared on Xun Chen's face: "Brother, for Cao Cao, you actually dare to kill the imperial envoy?"
"I...you!" Xun Yu was speechless, his face flushed.
"Oh! Brother, I'll take my leave first. I'll wait for you outside the city. After you finish writing the memorial and express to the emperor that you don't want to be this Situ, you can go find me outside the city."
After saying that, Xun Chen bowed his hands to Xun Yu, turned around and walked out.
After walking a few steps, Xun Chen suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xun Yu: "The Xun family of Yingchuan has a reputation for loyalty all over the world, and has been honored by the Han Dynasty. I don't want the Xun family's hundreds of years of good reputation to be ruined. In the hands of my brother alone, lest you not even be able to enter your ancestral grave a hundred years later, please think twice."
After that, he stopped looking at him and turned around to leave, leaving Xun Yu alone, staring blankly at his back.
As time passed, Xun Yu's face showed a look of pain.
Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and the color of the teardrops was unusually clear.
Xun Yu knelt down, covered his face, and burst into tears.
When I was young, I saw him looking up to the sky and sighing: "Why, why? Why is it that the Han Dynasty's court is located in his Xuzhou and his Jingzhou, but cannot take root in Xuchang! Why?!"
…
On the second day, Xun Yu wrote the commendation in the memorial, saying that he was not capable enough and could not bear the big responsibility, so he resigned from the position of Situ.
Because of the relationship between identity and morality, Xun Yu decided to go out of the city in person to deliver this letter of commendation to Xun Chen.
After all, he is now an envoy of the imperial court. The education and exposure Xun Yu received since childhood determined that he would not be disrespectful to anyone related to the Han Dynasty.
Xun Yu led a group of heavily armed soldiers and horses to Xun Chen's camp, and sent people in to report that it was a memorial he had come to deliver to the imperial court.
After a while, someone came to greet Xun Yu, saying that Xun Chen, the special envoy of the imperial court, was waiting in the tent.
Xun Yu hummed softly.
They are all brothers, but now that he is the envoy of the imperial court, he has become so arrogant... Waiting in the tent?
Xun Yu felt unhappy, but he still followed the guide and walked in.
Entering the tent, Xun Chen didn't see it, but what caught his eye was a handsome young man with a sunny smile on his lips.
Xun Yu's expression changed immediately.
"Tao, potter?"
The pottery merchant stood up, checked the dust on his sleeves, and said with a smile: "I think it would be more appropriate for Mr. Wen Ruo to call me Prime Minister on this occasion."
Xun Yu's eyes wandered and he began to quickly look at the situation inside the tent.
"Don't look at it. Don't worry. There is no one else in this tent. I won't kill you or detain you. As the old saying goes, a gentleman never holds a Hongmen Banquet."
Which ancient person said this?
After hearing this, Xun Yu's eyes began to roll, as if he was thinking about something.
The potter easily saw through his thoughts.
"Mr. Wen Ruo, there is no need to waste your efforts. Since Tao dares to come secretly, he must be 100% prepared. You can't kill me. It's better for us to live in peace."
Xun Yu took a deep breath and put down the thought he just had.
He looked at the pottery merchant intently, calmed down his uneasy mood, and said: "Prime Minister Tao is here, what is the matter? As far as Xun Yu knows, the two of us are still at war, right?"
The pottery merchant nodded and said: "Although a war is a war, the proper etiquette should still be observed. The imperial court appointed Mr. Xun as a Situ, why shouldn't Mr. Xun do it?"
Xun Yu said calmly: "I think the Prime Minister must know the reason why I am inappropriate. Xun can still see such a simple alienation plan. I also ask the Prime Minister not to underestimate Xun."
Tao Shang walked up to Xun Yu and said with a smile: "Sometimes, wisdom cannot solve all problems. You can understand many things, but unfortunately you can't do anything about it. Tao is going to make a bet with Mr. Tao today. I
I just want to drive a wedge between you and Cao Cao, and it’s a pure conspiracy. Do you think I will succeed, sir?”
