The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

It is more than 5,000 words, a large section.

——

Le Jin guessed right, the person who complained was exactly what Xun Zhen ordered Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin and others to find.

Through the extermination of the third clan, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Gao brothers, Su brothers, etc., the light chivalrous men of Dongxiang Pavilion and Fanyang Pavilion have successfully extended their power to the Sangyin Pavilions. Under the secret support, the third original site has been fully controlled, and now it is the only one in the township. Those light knights and swordsmen who were originally attached to the Third Clan were either captured and imprisoned, or they were converted to their sect. Under such a "general trend", it was very easy to find a reliable person to cooperate with Xun Zhen in acting.

In fact, not only the person who complained was found, but even the "content of this scene" was pirated by Xun Zhen, which was copied from the late Han Dynasty. In the last years of the former Han Dynasty, there was a man named Zhuo Mao, who was from Nanyang Wan. When he was serving as the magistrate of Mi County, a man came to sue the chief pavilion for taking bribes. One word sent the complainant back. As a result, "people accept his instructions, and officials hold their kindness", and the people and officials under his rule think that he is virtuous and a benevolent person.

Most of the villagers were illiterate, and only a few knew the story of Zhuomao. After hearing about it, they all praised Xun Zhen, just as the people of Mi County praised Zhuo Mao in the past, and they all said: "Xun Jun destroyed the third one. Shi, although cruel, it was the third clan guilty first, which does not mean that Xun Jun is cruel and willing to kill! Listening to him handling the matter of the public suing Sang Yin Ting Ting, he is actually a honest and loving person. Although he is young, But there is the wind of the elders."

The common people obey their principles, and the officials cherish their kindness. The pavilion chief of the Sangyin Pavilion even brought a gift and came to thank him on his own initiative. How could Xun Zhen accept his gift? He kept him, entertained him with a meal of wine and meat, and then personally sent him out diligently, showing the image of a "benevolent Shangguan" vividly.

Le Jin was so impressed with his admiration that he sent the pavilion chief of Sang Yin Pavilion away and returned to the hall.

Xun Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just a small 'trick', how can it be called 'miao'?" For some reason, he suddenly thought of Cao Cao and thought, "Will Wen Qian and Jun Qing look down on this? Am I a treacherous person?" After paying attention to their expressions, he sighed deliberately, and then said generously, "Such 'conspiracy tricks' can be used once in a while, but never more. You will be called deceitful by the world. . . . A man should be upright and upright. Don't imitate me."

Le Jin and Xu Zhong both nodded in agreement.

While everyone was talking, the old guard at the door came to report: "Xunjun, there are several scholars outside the door asking to see you."

"Scholar?"

"They claim to be the disciples of the third elder of the township, Duke Xuan."

"Oh? Duke Xuan's disciple? Come in quickly!" Xun Zhen stood up before he finished speaking, and said again, "Gong Xuan is an old man in his hometown, and his disciples are all Junyan from his hometown, so I should go out to meet him in person. "Bring Xu Zhong and Le Jin, put on shoes outside the hall, put the crown on the sword, strode to the gate of the official temple.

There were five people standing outside the courtyard at the entrance. The two leading people knew each other, one was Yangyinli's predecessor Lijianmen Fashion, and the other was Xuan Xian, son of Xuan Bo. The three people behind do not know each other, it is the first time to meet. Shi Shi, Xuan Xian, etc. saw Xun Zhen greeted him in person, and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Xuan Xian said: "Xuan Xian, Fashion, Li Bo, Snow, Xuan Kang, see Xun Jun."

Xun Zhen laughed and helped them up. Fashion and Xuan Xian have known each other for a long time, so there is no need to read more. He took a closer look at the three people behind him, and saw that the older ones were in their late forties and the younger ones were in their twenties.

His gaze stopped on the youngest man, and he thought, "This man's name is Xuan Kang? Is he Xuan Bo's nephew?" He smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I visited Xuan Gong last time. See. Years ago, I wanted to visit again, but because I was entangled in the world, I couldn't make it.  …, Brother Yuanxi, is your body well?"

Yuanxi is the word of Xuan Xian. He replied, "My father is fine, except for the occasional leg pain."

Xun Zhen nodded. Impressed by fashion, he said to him with a smile, "Mingde, I heard from your ri chief a few days ago that you resigned from your position as rijian and were accepted as a disciple by Xuan Gong?"

Fashion bowed his body and replied, "Shang Ben is a mediocre person. He was loved by his mentor by mistake, and he was lucky enough to be included in the door. I am frightened and at a loss as to what to do."

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "You are mediocre? If you are mediocre, there are not many talented people in our village!" Those who can be called "scholars", who can speak out and speak out, except for a few sons and nephews of the Xie family, that is, these disciples and disciples of Xuanbo's family.

Xun Zhen turned to look at Li Bo, Shi Nuo, and Xuan Kang, and asked, "Who are these?"

Xuan Xian introduced on his behalf: "This is Li Bo, the word is Ziyuan. This is Shi Nuo, and the word is not promised. This is my nephew, the name is Kang, the word is Shuye. They are all being taught by their fathers."

The three of Li Bo saluted Xun Zhen again. Xun Zhen smiled and said, "It turns out that Your Excellency is Li Ziyuan. I've heard for a long time that under Duke Xuan's family, Ziyuan is the longest. You were the first to learn from Duke Xuan?"

Li Bo had no good feelings for Xun Zhen. At Xuanbo's house that day, he and another named Wang Cheng criticized Xun Zhen the most. However, criticism belongs to criticism. He is old, and he is different from Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng is young and vigorous, and he has not yet known the sufferings of the world. He dares to "do different things" with Xun Zhen. He is in his forties and has no chance of becoming an official. It seems that his life will be wasted. , still wronged his own will, under the order of Xuan Bo, and fashion and others came to see Xun Zhen together.

Xun Zhen didn't know about these twists and turns, but Li Bo knew it. He was a little ashamed and a little unwilling, struggling with conflict in his heart, bowed his body and saluted, and said, "Bo Chi is a few years older, although he was the first to learn from Master Xuan, but in terms of knowledge, he is far inferior to Yuanxi and Mingde's brothers."

Xun Zhen supported him, shook his hand forcefully, and said with a smile, "Too modest, too modest!" Then she said to Snow, "You are not a promise? But it's from "Poem? Lu Song" Is it? 'Don't dare to promise, the Marquis of Lu is Ruo'."

Snow is in his early thirties, and in terms of appearance alone, he is the ugliest of these people, with black face and yellow teeth, and thin and thin hair. When he was debating at Xuanbo's house whether it was right or wrong for Xun Zhen to kill the third clan, he, like fashion, supported Xun Zhen. He bowed his head to the end and said, "Xunjun is erudite, and the name of the next one is from "Lu Song"."

"When I was in Fanyang Pavilion, there were many people named Shi in the pavilion. Are you relatives?"

"Xunjun is talking about the history of the Li Chang in Andingli, the Shi Qi clan of the Li elders?"

"right."

"In detail, Xiaomin and them are considered distant relatives."

"Okay, okay! I was in Fanyang Pavilion that day, and I have a good relationship with all the history. In this way, we have known each other for a long time." Xun Zhen focused his attention on the last person, Xuan Kang, and asked, "Uncle Junzi?" He turned his head to laugh and said with Le Jin and Xu Zhong, "It's a pity that Zhongye is not here! Otherwise, those who don't know him might even treat them as brothers!"

From the time Xun Zhen came out to the present, Xuan Kang has been looking at him secretly, thinking in a murmur: "I thought he was a tyrannical and domineering person, but unexpectedly he is like a spring breeze." He bowed respectfully, " I met Xun Jun in Xia Xuankang."

The gate of the official temple is on the road, and there are no other buildings around. The wind is blowing from the fields in the distance, and it is quite cold after standing for a long time. Xun Zhen took Xuan Xian and Li Bo's hands and led them into the temple, smiling while walking: "I went home a few days ago, and I was wandering the big market in my spare time, and I met a businessman from the middle of Shu, who gained a few pounds. Good Tu. You are here at the right time, go, go, go to the backyard, please try it."

Xuan Xian and Li Bo have read a lot of books, and they know what "tu" is no better than those in Fanyang Pavilion. Li Bo frowned and said, "The tea is something that the people of Shu like to drink. A few years ago, by chance, I tasted this thing, but it was..."

"But how?"

"But I'm really not used to drinking it."

Xun Zhen has recommended tea to many people, but few are used to drinking it. After listening to Li Bo's frown, he didn't mind, he laughed loudly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you're not used to drinking it, I still have corn syrup here.  …, to be honest, I've long wanted to meet you sages and gentlemen, It's rare for you to come, let's drink the pulp and chat!" - "pulp" means sour water juice, or brewed with rice or millet. People in the Qin and Han Dynasties became a fashion for drinking pulp, and even some pulp sellers had a family property comparable to that of a thousand-fold family.

...

It makes sense that Xun Zhen is so enthusiastic about Xuan Xian, Li Bo, Fashion, Xuan Kang, and Snow. First of all, since he served in his hometown, this is the first time that a "scholar" has taken the initiative to visit. Secondly, there were not many "scholars" in the township, and five came at once, two of them were the sons and nephews of the three elders of the township, and they had to be "lixian corporals" once.

He led everyone to the backyard and sat down in the hall.

Tanger and Xiaoren held the lacquer trays, and respectfully served tea and syrup, placed them on the table in front of everyone, and then walked backwards. Xu Zhong and Le Jin sat beside him.

Xu Zhong didn't need to introduce them to them any more. Now, almost all the villagers already knew that Xun Jun, the husband of a rank in the village, was often accompanied by a short, masked and taciturn man. He was said to be a distant relative of "Xun Jun". Le came in not long, Xuan Xian and Li Bo were still not familiar with him. Xun Zhen introduced: "This is my friend, the surname is Le, the name is Jin, and the word is Wenqian."

Le Jin stood up from the table, saluted and said, "I've seen you all under Le Jin."

Xuan Xian asked: "Listen to your accent, don't you look like a native of this county?"

"Xia's native place is Dongjun, Yanzhou."

"Oh? You are from Dongjun? Guijun is full of sages. During the emperor's years, Yangping Liu Shulin was praised by Guo Youdao for being 'speaking in a stubborn manner, and having the appearance of Guizhang'. Powerful. Later, he was imprisoned for being implicated. He did not want to be humiliated by swordsmen and officials, so he committed suicide. The real martyrs have the style of Li Guang of the former Han Dynasty." , suicide in prison. In the ten or so years since Xun Zhen's time-travel, he'd heard about it several times.

The fashion interface said: "Yes. Liu Shulin is loyal and fierce, and there is another person in your county, Zhao Wenchu, who is pure and unparalleled in filial piety, and is a group of thieves in Dehua."

Zhao Wenchu, that is, Zhao Zi from Yan mentioned above. Zhao Zi not only has a story of being "out of reach", but also very filial. Once, when his home was burglarized at night, because he was afraid that his mother would be frightened, he took the initiative to greet the thieves at the door. While respectfully requesting to prepare meals for the thieves, he sincerely apologized: "My mother is eighty, and I need to support my family. Poor, no food for the night." I asked the thieves to leave a little bit of clothes and food to support his mother, but he didn't mention his wife, children, and other things, and let the thieves take it away.

Han people value filial piety. When the thieves heard this, they "sighed miserably." They were deeply moved and at the same time ashamed. Zhao Zi became more famous because of this, and only after that he was worshipped as the prime minister of the East China Sea, passing Xingyang, and Cao Hao was "out of reach".

Xuan Xian, Li Bo, and the fashionable people were not familiar with Xun Zhen, and they could not talk about it in depth. From now on, one sentence from you, one sentence from me, discussing today's sages and celebrities.

From Dongjun to the whole of Yanzhou, and from Yanzhou back to this county, and to talk about this county, there are two points that must be said, one is Xunzhen's family, and the other is the neighboring county Runan. "Ru, Yingduoqi Shi", Runan County and Yingchuan County have always been equally famous at home and abroad, and they are equally important in the world. Chen Fan, one of the "Three Sovereigns" in the party, three of the "Eight Jun", Li Ying, Xun Yi, and Du Mi, two of the "Eight Gus", Fan Pang and Cai Yan, and two of the "Eight Chi", Chen Xiang and Cen Both are from Ru and Ying. It can be said that most of the famous people in the world are from Ru and Ying.

In Yingchuan, the Xun and Chen clans were famous all over the world, and in Runan there were also the Yuan and Xu clans who could compete with each other. That is why scholars from the two places often met to discuss each other out of competition. For example, Cao Qingan, a thief under his family, once criticized some famous people in Runan in front of Xun Zhen. Xuan Xian, Li Bo, Shi Shi and others were also unavoidable. Sometimes they tried their best to praise Li Ying and others in this county, and sometimes reluctantly praised the sages of Chen Fan in Runan. Sometimes he praises the name of the Xun family, and sometimes he also briefly mentions the "Qing Yi" of the brothers of the Xu family in Runan. Sometimes it is said that the Liu family of Yingyin is a descendant of the clan, and sometimes it is also said that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in Runan.

Xun Zhen was born in the Xun clan. From childhood to adulthood, Xun Zhen was familiar with the famous people in Ruying and Ying County, and his knowledge and vision far surpassed that of Xuan Xian, Li Bo, and fashionable people. If he was debating the law, he was willing to give in, but when it came to character, he was the first in the room. From the beginning, everyone discussed it together, and in the end, it almost became his one-stop speech.

Xuan Xian, Li Bo, and Shi Shi are all native villagers. They know only a few famous people like Ru and Ying. Xun Zhen extended the topic and brought them up. They may have never even heard of them. , or just heard the name a little, but didn't know who it was. At this moment, listening to Xun Zhen casually enumerating, commenting, and interspersing some anecdotes from time to time, I felt ashamed.

——Actually, Xun Zhen is not a very talkative person. Compared with the great sages in the clan’s elders and the talented and outstanding people in the same generation, his knowledge and knowledge are not very good, just ordinary. It's just that this "comparison" is relative, compared to the clan, he is only ordinary, "compared to" Xuan Xian, Li Bo, Fashion and others, he is already very outstanding. In addition, in order to salvage the bad consequences caused by killing the Third Clan, he redoubled his efforts at this time, exerting 100% of his strength, and it is no wonder that Xuan and Li were able to feel ashamed.

Xuan Kang, the youngest with the least knowledge, knelt uprightly on the couch, pretending to be listening carefully, and thought, "Jun Xun really comes from a famous family and has a wide range of knowledge. Compare." Unconsciously, he felt ashamed and felt like a country bumpkin. ——Compared to the background of "Xun Zhen" and the experience of two generations, these "countrymen" who have never even been to the county town a few times are indeed similar to the country bumpkins.

With this mentality, when Xuankang went to see Xun Zhen again, he only thought that he was very handsome, detached and elegant, or maybe because of the high crown with a sword and sitting upright after the case, he also felt that he was very heroic and extraordinary, and was in a trance. It is like seeing the green pines on the top of the mountain. Li Bo felt the same way as he, sweat dripping from his forehead, flushed face, fidgeting, and thought ashamedly, "I thought Xunjun was a cruel person who likes to kill, but when we meet today, we will know what is wrong. It's better to be famous than to meet. !"

Le Jin and Xu Zhong were also very respectful. The two of them were already acquainted with Xun Zhen, but because Xun Zhen was under pressure to save his life, it was best not to talk pompously, and only wanted to do things down-to-earth. These things are almost never mentioned. It was also the first time they heard him commenting on people and discussing celebrities in such a high-spirited and pointed manner.

Xu Zhong recalled what Xiao Ren said a few days ago: "Xiao Ren said to me privately the day before yesterday: 'Xun Jun is easy to go in and out, his equipment is frugal, he never talks about ostentation, and he doesn't take airs with others. In the middle of the year, he went down to the fields himself, stepped in the soil and bent over to inspect the wheat seedlings. Every night when he came back, his legs and feet were muddy, dirty, like a farmer in a village, where does he look like he was born in a high school?' What a pity. Xiao Ren is not in the hall now, if he can see Xun Jun's demeanor at this time, I am afraid that there will be no more doubts.

"Speaking of which, Xunjun is indeed different from ordinary Confucian scholars. I have served him for so long, and although I often read and write, I have never heard him teach any major principles. He speaks in a simple and simple manner. There is no sourness. I remember that when I first saw him at Fanyang Pavilion a few months ago, he seemed to be a little more restrained, but now he is more and more candid.  …, I am afraid it is precisely because of these The reason is that Jiang Qin, Xiao Gao, and Xiao Su are obedient to him?"

After all, Xun Zhen had come from time to time. Unlike the scholars of the world, he did not think that a scholar was qualified to be superior to others, and he never thought that being an official was truly a "parent of the common people". When dealing with people, he was just by nature Revealed, but in the eyes of others, it will inevitably become "approachable".

Some "clear discussion", until the evening. The light in the hall gradually dimmed, and Tang Er and Xiao Ren came in again to light the candles. Only then did Xuan Xian, Li Bo, Shi Shi and others regain their senses, and they hurriedly bid farewell. Xun Zhen said in her heart, "Anyway~www.wuxiaspot.com~ you are also the first group of scholars who came to visit me. I spit and said for a long time, how can I let you all leave?" Xiao Ren went back to buy wine and meat, and invited them to have a drink in the evening. Everyone could not refuse, so they had to stay.

At the drinking feast, Xun Zhen rose up, summoned Tang Er, and ordered her to play the qin and sing under the candlelight. She danced lightly at home, and spun in front of everyone, asking them to dance one after another. At the end of the dance, he drew his sword out of its scabbard again, called Le Jin to attack the case with a dagger, and summoned Xu Zhong to come along.

Xuankang had the least amount of alcohol, and was already drunk, forgetting the restraint of etiquette, shouting and applauding. Xuan Xian, Fashion, Li Bo, and Snow also took advantage of the wine, or accompanied them with long songs, or beat the case, and laughed all over the hall. After drinking it until the moon is in the middle of the sky, everyone just left with joy.

...

The next day after the funeral, in Yangyin, Xuanbo called everyone to come and asked, "Yesterday you visited Xunjun, and you left in the afternoon, why did you return until midnight?"

Xuan Xian replied: "Xunjun is hospitable, and Xian is hard to say goodbye."

"How was your conversation with Xun Jun?"

Fashion replied: "It's a pleasure to talk."

"What did you say?"

Xuankang replied: "The disciples discussed with Xun Jun about the famous people in this county and Runan."

"What's the conclusion? Which one is better?"

Snow replied: "Xun Jun thinks: Spring flowers and autumn moon, each is good at special performances."

"What do you think, Xun Jun? What do you think?"

Li Bo replied, "The disciples and others all agree."

After listening to Li Bo's reply, Xuan Bo was silent, stared at him for a moment, and finally asked everyone, "Why is Xun Jun like a man?"

The crowd replied: "The speech is clear, the demeanor is handsome, like the style of Panasonic, and it is noble and pure." Xuankang added: "At the banquet that night, when the wine was half full, Xun Jun drew his sword and danced. , Fei Kang and others are comparable.”
