The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The official document was sent from Yanzhou Prefecture, but it was not written by Xun You, but by Yuan Sui, the head of the Shepherd's House.

Half a month ago, Yuan Sui was ordered by Xun Zhen to go to Yanzhou to inspect the battalions to check whether the generals, schools and soldiers violated discipline, mainly whether there were acts of disturbing or invading the people.

Yuan Sui's first stop was Shanyang County.

Starting from Gaoping and Hulucha, all the way to the west, via Fangyu and Dongjin, to Changyi.

Yuan Sui's patrols along the way, all the troops inspected are not bad, basically there is no violation of military discipline, harassment and invasion of the people - because Xun Zhen has an order that prohibits soldiers from leaving the camp without any reason, even if they go out for training, carry out During daily training subjects, they were not allowed to leave the camp for 20 miles. Therefore, most of the camping areas did not violate the local people. Even if there were, it was not a big deal. Mealing the common people, robbing some common people's things, and so on, there are no vicious incidents such as murder, bullying and bullying, and no serious consequences have been caused, and the soldiers who violated the law have also been punished.

After arriving in Changyi, the troops stationed in Changyi were mainly the Lejin Department. Lejin had a short appearance, but he was brave and determined, and his army was very strict. The military discipline of his subordinates was always the best in the entire Xuzhou army. One of the few, there is no such thing as disorder and harm to the people.

Yuan Sui stayed in Changyi for two days. He originally planned to continue his journey westward and enter Jiyin and Lihu counties to inspect the garrison of the two counties. The result was at this moment. For the sake of Xun You, Wan Qian, who was in charge of receiving Yuan Sui by order of Xun You, suddenly told Yuan Sui something after drinking at the banquet for Yuan Sui to practice.

It was to cooperate with Liu Fu, the prefect of Jiyin, to exterminate the bandits in Dayezawa, and lead his troops back to Gao Su in Changyi County a few days ago. Riding, ran to the village in the south of Changyi City, broke into the door, rushed into the private house, and killed a person.

The person who was killed, Wan Qian said to Yuan Sui with a sad expression: "It's a famous person in my state, the clan of Zhang Gong, the prefect of Chenliu, whose name is Zhang Chang."

Yuan Sui was shocked when he heard this, and asked Wan Qian, "Why did Zixiu kill him?"

Wan Qian didn't hide the truth. He told Yuan Sui about Zhang Chang's scolding of Xun You in front of the prefecture's gate. At the end, he said, "The high school captain killed Zhang Jun, maybe because of this."

Yuan Sui became more concerned and asked, "Zixiu killed Zhang Chang, does Xun Shijun know?"

Wan Qian said: "How could the lord know! Not to mention that he killed Zhang Changshi, even now, the lord still doesn't know it!"

"How come you still don't know?"

Wan Qian shook his head and sighed, and said, "Hey, Chang Shi, I don't know if that high school lieutenant is from the same town in Zhendong, but I just heard that when Zhendong was weak, the high school lieutenant seemed to follow Zhendong, but Zhendong The confidant and favorite general for many years! Even General Le, sometimes can't take him, treat him with kindness, what about other people? Either he is afraid of him, or he is flattering, and no one reports this to the envoy. I know! So, until now, the envoy still does not know that Zhang Chang was killed by him!"

Yuan Suishi was a Confucianist, not a chivalrous man, his daily clothes were neat and tidy, and his high crown was majestic.

Although Gao Su was a school captain, his rank was 2,000 shi, and according to his official rank, he was higher than Yuan Sui. Chang Shi's salary was only 1,000 shi, but Chang Shi was the head of the shogunate, similar to the secretary-general of later generations, in other words. , Xun Zhen's entire Zhendong General's Mansion, Xun Zhen is the chief officer, and further down, the first person is Yuan Sui, so Yuan Sui's power is really heavy. Not to mention calling a colonel to see him, he saw Xu Xian, Xun Cheng, Le Jin, and Xu Rong, the first-class generals in the Xuzhou army. Yuan Sui was also qualified to resist them. Be polite too.

Wan Qian stopped him and said, "Chang Shi, please wait."

"Why?"

"Dare to ask Chang Shi to summon a high school lieutenant, why?"

Yuan Sui said angrily: "What else can I do? I want to question him face to face, did he kill Zhang Chang? Let's see what he says!"

Wan Qian asked, "What if he doesn't admit it?"

Yuan Sui said, "Don't admit it? Then I'll find evidence for him to admit it!"

Wan Qian asked, "What if he admits it?"

"If you admit it, you should deal with it according to military law!"

Wan Qian asked: "How to deal with the military law?"

Yuan Sui said sternly: "The lord's military law clearly understands: the murderer dies! Kill a commoner and die, and a clan scholar? When Gao Zixiu arrives, I will kill him!"

Wan Qian said, "That's why I asked Chang Shi to hold back!"

"how do I say this?"

"A high school lieutenant is a high school lieutenant, this is more than two thousand stone officials! How can Changshi commit suicide?"

Yuan Sui took out an order, held it in his arms respectfully, and said, "On the day I left Tan County, the lord gave me this order. Seeing the order is like seeing the lord. Anyone who violates the law, no matter how high or low, will be treated by me. I can deal with it all! Although the captain is more than two thousand stones, I can kill him!"

Wan Qian never thought that Xun Zhen trusted Yuan Sui so much, so he paused, changed his words, and replied, "Chang Shi, if you want to change someone, you can deal with Chang Shi whatever you want. No matter what the high school lieutenant says, he is Zhendong's old and beloved general. Zhendong has always cared for his old people. He is a benevolent lord. Long history is like killing him. , it is better to report to Zhendong in the long history, and it is only appropriate to ask Zhendong to deal with it."

Yuan Sui was angry just now. At this time, after listening to Wan Qian's words, he calmed down and thought about it. He felt that Wan Qian's words were reasonable. The relationship between Gao Su and Xun Zhen was extraordinary, and he was indeed not something he could kill. He accepted Wan Qian's suggestion and said, "Mr. is very true!"

So, he wrote to Xun Zhen that Dao.

However, Xun Zhen said that after reading Yuan Sui's letter, he was so furious that he slapped the case and called outside officials, and ordered Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou to come.

Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou are currently the governors of the shogunate and are in charge of the shogunate's guards.

The two had to be summoned, so they hurried into the hall.

He had two armors on his body, and when he arrived in the hall, they all marched in salute, and said, "Yes!"

Xun Zhen took off the sword, threw it over, and threw it on the ground, saying, "Go and get Gao Zixiu's head and bring it to me!"

Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou were also old friends of Xun Zhen when he was in Xixiang, and Gao Su was an out-and-out fellow villager, and they had a good relationship with each other.

Yuan Zhongqing asked, "My lord, this, this, why is this?"

Xun Zhen said angrily: "Gao Zixiu violated our military law and killed the people! You two take my sword, go to Changyi now, ask him to slay himself with his sword, and take his head back!"

Yuan Zhongqing said: "My lord, the military law should of course be strict, but Zixiu and the people in the county have been loyal to the lord over the years. It's been cleaned up, what about human feelings?"

Xun Zhen was furious and said, "I've been fighting for ten years because of the bloodbath, and now, it's for the country! Where does the favor come from?" He drove them out, "Quickly go to Changyi, and get your son to embroider the head!"

Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou couldn't, so they had to agree to withdraw.

The two went out of the hall and went to the front yard to discuss ways to save Gao Su.

Zuo Bohou is one year younger than the original Zhongqing, but in temperament, he is calmer than the original Zhongqing.

He stroked his beard and said, "I look at the lord, but it seems that there is no intention to kill Zixiu."

Yuan Zhongqing asked, "How do you say this?"

Uncle Zuo said: "If the lord deliberately kills Zixiu, he would not have called us. We are under the tent, serving as the guards, and we don't care about military law. Let's think of a way to save Zixiu."

Yuan Zhongqing's eyes lit up and said, "You are right!" Immediately, he was in trouble and said, "I have persuaded the lord just now, but the lord will not listen."

Uncle Zuo said: "What you persuaded was wrong. Look at what you said, 'If you kill a commoner because of one', what kind of words are you talking about! The lord loves the people like a son, don't you know? If you don't kill Zixiu, then if there are other generals and soldiers who kill the people, how do you ask the lord to enforce the law? You don't remember what the lord said to us in the early years when he taught you and me how to lead troops The people don't suffer from the few, the suffering is uneven, and the same goes for the soldiers! Law enforcement should be treated with a level of water. Even if you violate the law, you will be punished. Even if you have an enemy, you will be rewarded. Only in this way can the generals and soldiers be convinced. You He said 'what about human feelings'? Human feelings, of course, are there. The lord is a generous and nostalgic master. Over the years, isn't it good enough for us old people in Xixiang? But before the military law, can we talk about human feelings? If it is because of human feelings And I can't do military law, in my Xuzhou army, there are too many people from Xixiang and Yingyin, can I still bring this soldier?"

Yuan Zhongqing was convinced and said, "You are right." He asked, "But now the key is, how to save Zixiu?"

Uncle Zuo was fascinated by his thoughts, and accidentally snapped one of his beards.

He is in his 40s this year. The beard under his chin has been grown for twenty years at least. Now it is nearly two feet long and hangs down from his lower abdomen. In fact, they are two beautiful beards in the Xuzhou army who are as famous as Huang Qian. Every beard was his treasure, and suddenly he realized that he had cut one off, which really hurt him, so he hurriedly bent over to pick up the broken beard and put it in his pocket carefully.

——But it can be seen from this that he is indeed trying his best to figure out how to save Gao Su.

Yuan Zhongqing asked, "Have you got an idea?"

Zuo Bohou said: "Only ask Xuan Sima and Xu Zhonggong to intercede for Zixiu."

The person who declared Sima was also Sima Xuankang of the shogunate. Xu Shi was the younger brother of Xu Xian, and he was also Xu Shen, a state soldier. Among Xun Zhen's old people in Xixiang, Xuan Kang and Xu Shen were the most dear to Xun Zhen because of their young age and their outstanding advantages.

The two of them split up, one went to the prefecture to find Xu Shen, and the other went to Xuankang's office in the shogunate to summon Xuankang.

Xun Zhen waited in the hall for half an hour, and saw Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou leaving and returning, and following him, this time there were also Xu Shen and Xuan Kang, so they buried their heads in the case, just pretending they didn't see it. them.

The four of them came to the front of the hall and asked to see each other aloud.

Xun Zhen slowly raised her head and said, "Come in." She asked Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou, and said, "Why haven't you two left yet?"

Xu Shen and Xuan Kang bowed down in the hall.

Xu Shen is introverted, not as outgoing as Xuankang, so Xuankang's representative speaks.

Xuankang said: "My lord, do you know whether it is true or false?"

"What did you hear?"

"Master Wen wants to kill the high school captain?"

"He violated my military law!" Xun Zhen said with a half-smile, "What? Are you here to plead for him?"

Xuankang said: "My lord's military discipline is strict, killing people should be killed. Kang is not here to plead for the high school captain."

"Then what are you here for?"

"Kang is here to ask the lord to choose a good match for the high school Wei's wife so that he can raise the posthumous son of the high school Wei."

"Posthumous child?"

Xuankang said, "Don't you know the lord? The high school Wei's wife just became pregnant, less than a month ago."

Xun Zhen frowned and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Xuankang said: "Yes, lord. Since the first year of Zhongping, the high school captain has been conquered by the lord, and his wife has never given birth to an offspring. Now she is finally pregnant, but the high school captain committed murder. Also! There is no pardon for the high school lieutenant, but I beg the lord to remember his years of hard work in the war, and after killing him, find a good home for his wife and posthumous son!"

Xun Zhen's expression softened and she asked, "Is his wife really pregnant?"

Xu Shen bowed his head and said: "My lord, it is the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period not to abolish the public for private purposes; to inherit the children and to sacrifice to the ancestors, this is also the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. The high school captain's wife is pregnant, just like the high school captain's body is slaughtered, Be careful to worry about his wife, or the fetus may not be protected due to grief! The high school captain has no children. If this is the case, his heir will die. Shen's foolish opinion, it is better to temporarily send the head of the high school captain, wait for his wife's birthday, and then Punishment!"

Xun Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "But my law cannot be violated!"

Xuankang said: "My lord, Kang has a strategy, and you can understand your lord's military law."

"What is it?"

"You can hold your hair, and you can take the lead."

Xun Zhen was dumbfounded, thinking: "I stole the "Dan Ge Xing", and Zixiu stole his hair to replace the head. It's really sorry for Meng De."

Zuo Bohou guessed right, Xun Zhen actually did not want to kill Gao Su.

Yuan Sui's letter made it clear that Gao Su did not kill the people for no reason, but the madman Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang scolded himself first, then Xun You, and Gao Su killed him out of loyalty. If Gao Su was killed because of this, not only would he be reluctant, but Xu Xian, Le Jin and other generals would also feel that he was too ruthless and unrighteous.

It's just that if there is no excuse, he doesn't implement the military law he made by himself, how can he control it in the future? It's not good to forgive Gao Su. Fortunately, Yuan Zhongqing and Zuo Bohou invited Xuankang and Xu Shen to come over. These two were no better than Yuan Zhongqing, and they couldn't get the point of their pleas, but they helped Xun Zhen not kill Gao Su and found a better one. reason.

Xun Zhen also pushed the boat along the way, pretended to think for a while, and said, "Since Zixiu's wife is just pregnant, let him not die for the time being, pass our army orders to him, and call him the head of the army! After his wife gives birth, he will be punished!"

Xuan Kang and others received the order.

After leaving the hall, Yuan Zhongqing said worriedly: "Listen to the lord's tone, he still refuses to forgive Zixiu! After his wife gave birth, the lord will bring up the old things again, and then take his head, in order to correct the military law, what should I do? Is good?"

Xuankang smiled and said, "There are still ten months from now until Zixiu's wife gives birth. As long as Zixiu can make a contribution in these ten months, it's okay to use the credit to offset the crime?"

Yuan Zhongqing was overjoyed and said, "Sima's statement is very true!" But he was puzzled and asked, "Is Zixiu's wife pregnant?

Xuankang smiled and said, "I don't know if I'm pregnant or not, but from now on, I can't say, Zixiu will be defeated!"

Yuan Zhongqing didn't know the meaning of Dandan's attack, and asked him.

Xu Shen is a person who makes friends, respectful and courteous, does not hide anything when asked, and is tireless in teaching others, so he explained to him, explained the original meaning of the word, and explained why Xuankang used this word in his words, referring to What's the meaning.

Yuan Zhongqing suddenly realized, and said with a startled smile: "Sima said that Zixiu's wife is pregnant, is it actually false?"

Xuankang smiled and said: "Zixiu is strong and strong, if you work hard, you will always be able to make this happen within a month."

"If it doesn't come true?"

"Save your life first, and let's talk about the rest! The big deal is that if the fetus is frightened, it can't be saved."

Yuan Zhongqing said worriedly: "Do you want the lord to know about this?"

Xuankang smiled and said, "Zixiu is far away in Changyi, and I am in Tanxian County. How can I find out that his wife is pregnant? Does the lord know that what I said is false? The reason why the lord does not expose me is because he does not want to kill his son. Embroidered ears!" He explained to everyone, "This is a piece of benevolence and righteousness that the lord loves and protects us and others. Only the four of us know about this matter, and we must not spread it out, let others know!"

The crowd responded, "That's natural!"

...

Xun Zhen's order was passed to Gao Su's camp in Changyi.

In the military order, Gao Sukun was not only named as the head of the army, but also severely reprimanded him, demoted him from his official position, and fell from a captain to a fake captain.

After listening to Xun Zhen's order, Gao Sufu spread out his buns, drew out his sword, cut off his hair, tied it up respectfully, put it in a brocade box, and presented it to Yuan, the shogun's servant who declared the order. Dee. Yuan Di, the son of Yuan Sui, is not yet twenty years old this year.

Yuan Di took the brocade box and sent him the private letter that Xuankang wrote to Gao Su, then bid farewell to Gao Su and returned to Tan County.

It sounds like the head is not punished at all, but it is not. "The body is hairy, and the parents are not afraid to damage it. The beginning of filial piety", this is a sentence in the first chapter of the "Book of Filial Piety", "Kai Zong Mingyi". Kun Punishment is one of various kinds of punishments. All or part of a person's hair is cut off, which is a form of shameful punishment. Although the body is not damaged, the damage to people's self-esteem is great. This punishment originated in the Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning, when there were criminals in the royal family, the palace was replaced by the royal family. Think about it, everyone else has strong beards and hair, such as that Uncle Zuo, when you go out, your hair is very short, or you don’t even have a beard. When you face Uncle Zuo, you feel his strange gaze, Not to mention that I will deeply blame myself for being unfilial in my heart, but only with the comparison of the appearance, how can I not feel that I can't lift my head?

Holding the sword, Gao Su read Xuankang's letter at a glance, then stood at the door in a daze, watching Yuan Di go away.

Feng Gong arrived when Xun Zhen's military order came, and was with him in the hall.

He couldn't see Gao Su's face for a while, but when he saw him standing with his sword raised and his hands trembling slightly, he knew that he was always arrogant, lest he would feel ashamed because of his broken hair, and thus resent Xun Zhen, Feng Gong went down to the hall and walked up to him. Next to him, Wen Sheng said: "Zixiu, you don't listen to my advice and kill Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang is a member of Zhang Mengzhuo's clan, and his clan is in Yanzhou Yiyi Gaomen. Think about it, if you kill him, you will How much trouble did it bring to the lord? The lord did not kill you, and you are allowed to be the head of the throne. This is a sincere love for you! Don't blame the lord for this!"

Gao Su looked back in surprise, looked at Feng Gong, and said, "How could I blame the lord?"

"Then why are you standing here in a daze?"

Gao Su returned the sword to Feng Gong and said, "Sima pleaded for me, saying that my wife is pregnant. Where is my wife pregnant? I'm standing here in a daze because I'm worried about this."

Feng Gong read Xuankang's letter and smiled without realizing it, and said, "Zixiu, I'll pick up your wife tomorrow, please be gentle!"

Gao Su's wife is not in Changyi, but in Tanxian.

Gao Su scratched his head and said, "That's the only way!"

Xun Zhen did not kill Gao Su, but Liu Fu, the prefect of Jiyin, did.

The person killed was none other than Li Cao, the tycoon of the Cheng clan.

Brothers Li Cao and Li Jin colluded with the thieves of Onozawa, and after they captured the highland of the border, Wan Qian found out the correspondence between Li Cao and the leader of the thief. Because he was an old acquaintance with Li Cao, he secretly gave it to Li Cao did not let Liu Fu, the prefect of Jiyin, know about it. But after one escape, but the second time, after annihilating all the bandits in Dayezawa, Wan Qian, Gao Su, Feng Gong, etc. returned to Changyi, but there were a few captured bandits trying to survive, who took Li The **** is sold. Liu Fu enforced the law honestly, so he executed Li Cao for the crime of passing thieves.

The news reached the state capital of Changyi County.

Wan Qian is both pain and anxiety.

What hurts was that Li Cao had a good relationship with him, but unexpectedly, after being separated for a few days, he was separated by Yin and Yang, and he could not see each other again. Disturbingly, he hid the correspondence between Li Cao and the thieves, and wondered if Li Cao had recruited him to talk to Liu Fu.

Wan was so preoccupied with it that he got to the bottom.

He hurriedly returned to the official residence, closed the door, and walked around the room, thinking: "Gao Su killed Zhang Chang, but Zhendong was not charged; just because of the confession of the bandits, Liu Fu killed Li Cao. The letter to me said that there are many people from Yu and Xu in Zhendong, and now that they invade Yan, the gentry and common people of our Yan will suffer from them! In today's opinion, this is true!

"The public platform advised me to respond to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to pass on the facts and facts of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. I was still hesitant. ... Li Cao was killed today, if Liu Fu and Xun Gongda learned about my hiding Thaksin, Xun Gongda would Even if you don't blame me, I can't be in this position!"

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, Wan Qian stopped pacing, listened carefully, heard the chatter and laughter of several officials, knew that they were returning to their respective residences on duty, passed by his door, and put down some snacks.

Before turning to the case, he took out Chen Gong's letter from his bosom, fell on it, and thought: "Duke Cao and Yuan Benchu ​​are friends, Yuan Benchu ​​has already defeated Gongsun Bogui, and there will be more than enough to help Duke Cao! With Yuan Benchu's reinforcements and Zhang Mengzhuo's strength, there is no chance of recovering Yanzhou!" After thinking about it, he made a difficult choice, made a decision, and said to himself, "Forget it, I will listen to the public platform and temporarily serve him. Inner response. If Yanzhou is able to recover, I will not lose control, do not drive; if Gongtai and Cao Gong are still defeated in Zhendong, I just need to be careful, and Xun Gong will not know about my inner response, and I will not worry about my life.”

After grinding ink and laying paper, Wan Qian picked up a pen and replied to Chen Gong.

The letter was written, and he called his concubine to come, and he ordered him to sneak out of Tanxian and send it to Chenliu to Chen Gong.

...

Three days later, Chen Gong received a letter from Wan Qian.

After watching it, Chen Gong was overjoyed and went to see Zhang Miao immediately. The first sentence he said: "Ming Gong, it's time to take Jiyin!"
