When Yu Xian heard this, he said, "Oh, you're not an outsider."
Aren't these two of the "Zhuge Army"?
When Zhuge Liang was plowing Nanyang, he had four best friends, namely Xu Yuanzhi of Yingchuan, Cui Zhouping of Boling, Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan, and Meng Gongwei of Runan.
At that time, Zhuge Liang boasted that he had the talents of Guan Zhong and Le Yi, but he was regarded as a laughing stock. Only people like Xu Yuanzhi and Cui Zhouping had the wisdom to recognize Zhuge Liang and felt that Zhuge Liang did have such talents.
They got along well with each other. One time, Zhuge Liang said to Xu Yuanzhi, Shi Guangyuan, and Meng Gongwei, "If the three of you are promoted to official positions, they can reach the rank of governor or county governor." The three asked Zhuge Liang in return, but Zhuge Liang laughed and said nothing.
.
There is a question here. Cui Zhouping is also good to Zhuge Liang, why didn't he comment on him?
Because among these people, Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping were the earliest to become officials. At a young age, they served as Lieutenant General of Huben and the Governor of Xihe.
As for the reason, it's unremarkable.
Because his father Cui Lie was Situ, one of the three princes in the court.
Cui Lie, the Situ, was bought at a large price.
At that time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked for 10 million yuan. Cui Lie found Mrs. Cheng who had raised Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and went through the back door. He only spent 5 million yuan to become a Situ.
It was at this time that Cui Zhouping contributed a famous historical scene.
After Cui Lie returned home, he was having nothing to do in the yard when he suddenly found his good son, wearing the uniform of a military attaché wearing the uniform of a tiger general and a general, passing by in an ordinary manner.
Cui Lie had a sudden idea and decided to have a friendly interaction with his good son.
So Cui Lie stopped him and asked, "I have become a Situ who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What do you think? What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Zhouping replied straightforwardly, "It's nothing, we just think you smell like copper coins."
Cui Lie flew into a rage and picked up his cane to beat him.
Cui Zhouping ran away quickly, but Cui Lie couldn't catch up, so he yelled, "You are a dead soldier! I beat you and you run away. Is this considered filial piety? Come back quickly and let me beat you."
So Cui Zhouping turned around and put his fingers under his eyelids, "Slightly——"
As the inventor of the word copper smell, Cui Zhouping can really be called. I am not interested in money.
But Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was interested in money.
Later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty felt that the sale was a loss, so he turned Cui Lie into a Taiwei. Soon, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, spent more money and replaced Cui Lie as a Taiwei.
Later, Cui Zhouping followed Yuan Shao and launched a crusade against Dong Zhuo. As a result, his father was imprisoned in Xiwu Prison and was not released until Dong Bai took charge of the government.
Cui Zhouping thought, what kind of nonsense is this? So he gave up his official position and went to Yingchuan Academy to study in the countryside.
Therefore, for this kind of guy, when Zhuge Liang commented on the other three people, he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
The final incident proved that Zhuge Liang's comments were very accurate.
Among these three people, Shi Guangyuan served successively as the county governor, Diannong captain, Meng Gongwei successively served as the governor of Liangzhou and the general who conquered the east. Xu Yuanzhi persuaded Cao Pi to join him and became the right middle man and the censor Zhongcheng.
So why is Zhuge Liang’s comment so accurate?
Because... Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei and Xu Yuanzhi were from a well-known family. In this era where the imperial examination system was the main way to become an official and the prestige of the family was valued, it can only be said that they became county guards and so on, which was ordinary.
Although Zhuge Liang did not enter the small circle of literati, his family background was not bad, and it was not offensive to say that he was a county guard.
When the three people asked him questions, why did he smile and not answer?
that is because……
In such an era where one can see everything in one's life depending on one's origin, isn't it that the heroes themselves are underestimated?
Zhuge Liang could only hold his knees and roar.
When Yu Xian found out the identities of Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan, he immediately felt friendly to them.
——They are good friends of my great nephew Xu Shu, so rounding them off, aren’t they also my great nephews?
As long as I don't ask him what do you think of his uncle in the future, then we can happily be a good uncle and nephew.
When you become their good uncle, will you still be far away from rounding off Brother Piggy?
Yu Xian immediately helped the two of them up kindly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. I am just an unknown person. There is a saying that there is a certain order of learning and a specialization in the arts. Other than that, you and I have no other differences."
What a difference."
Yu Xian spoke modestly, but Cui Zhouping understood that he was a real elder in front of him.
But maybe it's the kind of thing where you can keep yourself out of trouble by just saying something in the circle.
Thinking about his arrogant attitude just now, he was a little suspicious that Yu Xian responded deliberately. He quickly apologized again, "The student is rude and really presumptuous. I will ask Mr. Chen to come and see me in person later."
Yu Xian said to himself that he and Chen Ji had nothing to talk about. This time he came to get the things left by the headmaster, and he mainly wanted to be sneaky.
Besides, with Cui Zhouping as a line, it would be a matter of course to get to know Zhuge Liang. When the time comes, there will naturally be a way to contact Cai Sheng from Huang Yueying.
Yu Xian immediately smiled and said, "The sages have said, 'If you don't flatter your superiors and don't be arrogant in your subordinates, then you can accomplish something'. Why should we be limited by our status? Can't you and I be a pair of friends who have been together for many years?
?”
Cui Zhouping was a little flattered by Yu Xian's words.
A reclusive scholar from the three schools of poetry suddenly appeared and was willing to be friends with him. What kind of adventure must this be?
I, I didn’t meet a liar, right?
Then Cui Zhouping looked serious.
By the way, the teacher said that boys must protect themselves when they are outside.
Just when Cui Zhouping started to get suspicious, Yu Xian seemed to remember something again and said, "Some time ago, I met a kid, which is interesting. He seems to be from your Yingchuan Academy."
Then, Yu Xian's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and while he was rummaging in his sleeves, he whispered softly, "By the way, what are you calling Xu? What Yuan Zhi?"
Shi Guangyuan next to him wanted to remind him, Boss, are you talking about Xu Yuanzhi?
But I dare not disturb the old senior.
Then the two of them suddenly realized at the same time, wait, Xu Shu? Xu Yuanzhi?
Those are our good brothers!
At this moment, Yu Xian exerted force in his hand and accidentally dropped two famous tattoos made of green bamboo slips from his sleeves.
"Eh? What a careless thing."
Yu Xian said something and pretended to pick it up.
Although Cui Zhouping and Shi Guangyuan felt that the elder's words seemed a bit intentional, they could not let the elder bend down to pick up things on his own in this situation.
You must know that among the six Confucian classics, there is one called "Li".
Cui Zhouping diligently picked up a piece of green bamboo thorn from the ground and wiped the non-existent dust on it with his sleeve.
Taking a peek, it turned out to be the handwriting of my good brother Xu Shu.
——"Nephew Xu Shu pays homage again and asks about daily life, Yingchuan Changshe, Zi Yuanzhi."
Cui Zhouping was immediately overjoyed.
He was convinced of Xu Shu's skills, and Xu Shu was a famous street legend before he entered Yingchuan Academy.
Such an experienced and smart man is worthy of this old uncle and nephew, how can he be fake?
Could it be that the adventure I, Cui Jun, had today is true?!
Cui Zhouping's mood fluctuated all the time.
After being excited for a while, he saw Shi Tao standing still in the posture of bending down to pick up something.
Cui Jun was startled, fearing that Shi Tao would be rude, so he coughed slightly and wanted to tug on his sleeve.
But his eyes followed and looked at the famous tattoo in Shi Tao's hand.
There are a few words written on it in random strokes.
——"The defeated general Guo Jia, asked about his daily life, Yang Zhai in Yingchuan, whose courtesy name was Fengxiao."
