The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Popular recommendation:

It is like a frozen branch, blown by the first wind of early spring; like a fish trapped in a small puddle for a long time, jumping into a big river. When Liu Bei and Wu Jing were ordered to rush back and guide Liu Xie into the county, although his footsteps were still steady and his face seemed to be normal, his mood was so cheerful and happy.

Suddenly, it was past noon, and it was the hottest time of the day. The blazing sun came down, and sweat flowed into the corners of Liu Bei's mouth, but it seemed to be sweet, and he finally got to meet the emperor! ——Although Tianzi is twenty years younger than him.

Liu Bei sipped Liu Xie's words again.

Speaking of which, he and Liu Xie were not able to say a few words, and the content of the conversation between the two had nothing in essence. It was mainly Liu Xie's words of encouragement to him, but it was of great significance. Liu Bei only felt the five internal organs. The six internal organs are ironed.

"The sage said to me, 'Zhen Wenqing is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan'; then how did I answer? I replied, 'In reply to Your Majesty's words, the ancestor of the minister is the King Jing of Zhongshan in the former Han Dynasty, and it has been passed down to the minister for more than ten generations. That's right. What's next? Yes, the next is the sage to praise me! Compliment me and say, "Qing first broke the Lei Book in Yingchuan, and the thieves under Chen Lan's army, and then he fought **** battles when he was attacking the two thieves Li and Guo." In the west of Zheng County, he has made great contributions. I thought that Qing was a courageous person. I heard Wu Jing’s speech, and I know that Qing also has the talent to govern the people, which is really rare."... Talent of the people, ah! Isn't the Holy One applauding me for both civil and military skills?"

The more I think about it, the more joyful Liu Bei is. The only regret is that I couldn't see Liu Xie's expression when Liu Xie praised him.

This time to greet Liu Xie at the county boundary, Liu Bei has thought about whether he can be summoned by Liu Xie? If he is summoned by Liu Xie, can he have a few words with Liu Xie? But all of this is beyond his control, and he can only wait for Liu Xie's meaning.

But he never imagined that not only did he get summoned by Liu Xie, but when Liu Xie and Wu Jing were right, he was racking his brains thinking about what to do to get Liu Xie's attention, when Liu Xie took the initiative to come to him. Ask!

This is something that Liu Bei never expected.

Thinking back to that time, the longing for many years suddenly came true. At that time, Liu Bei, who was in front of Liu Xiejia, was emotionally overwhelmed. His ecstasy was so extreme that he almost shed tears. Liu Xie, said: "The minister is prepared for the ignorant people of the countryside, and he is not despicable by the chariots and riders, but he uses them. Although he relies on the holy spirits and the mighty virtues of the chariots and riders, he has been lucky enough to achieve the slightest merit. Honour, I don’t dare to take it! The minister is in awe, and only nine deaths are in return in case of death. … My performance should be quite appropriate, right? I don’t know if the sage is satisfied or not? It’s a pity! I couldn’t see the expression of the sage at that time. "

Liu Bei was immersed in his memories, unable to extricate himself, he ignored the road under his feet, accidentally stepped on a small stone on the side of the road, slipped under his feet, and almost fell.

"Liu Jun?" Han Ji's arm stretched out to support him in time.

Liu Bei was slightly embarrassed, and quickly stabilized his body. He muttered a few words: "I didn't see it, I didn't see it." Then he walked forward, and after taking two steps, he turned back, bent over to pick up the stone, and moved far away. Throwing it aside, he was worried that the small stone would hit the wheel of Liu Xie's car, and it would not be beautiful if Liu Xie was bumped.

As I recalled, I went back to the county border with Wu Jing, Han Ji, etc., where they had been waiting for Liu Xie. After waiting for a while, Xun Zhen and others passed the order, and the troops and horses began to move on. Liu Bei, Wu Jing, Han Ji, etc. He led the way at the front, guiding the troops and Liu Xie's guards of honor and vehicles to enter.

...

Entering Yingchuan County, the first county is Yangcheng County.

In the evening, rest overnight in Yangcheng County.

The next day, he went southeast along the Yingshui River for thirty li and rested at the camp.

The next day, after traveling for about twenty li, and before the camp was built, Zhong Yao came to Xun Zhen's army in front, found Xun Zhen, and said to him, "Ming Gong, Your Majesty has summoned him."

Xun Zhen took Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other guards, and turned back towards the northwest, and walked two or three miles to the place where Liu Xie was driving. Liu Xie's car stopped at an unknown time and stopped on the side of the road.

Zhong Yao went outside the car and reported, "Your Majesty, Duke Xun has arrived at the call."

Xun Zhen stood beside Zhong Yao, went into the car and said, "Chen Xun Zhen is here to see your Majesty, dare to ask His Majesty, why do you not know why you have summoned this minister?"

The two eunuchs opened the car door from the inside, Liu Xie got out of the car with a smile on his face, and said to Xun Zhen, "I heard that I have arrived at Yangguan, and I want to go to Yangguan to have a look. Can you give me an order that the three armies stay temporarily for a while? Wait?"

Xun Zhen was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said:

"The Yangguan Your Majesty said, but the Yangguan Gathering on the south bank of the Yingshui?"

Liu Xie said: "This is the gathering! I read "Dongguan Han Ji", and it is written in the record: Before the war in Kunyang, Shizu once led thousands of soldiers to pass through Yangguan. Now that I have come to this point, I think Now, if you go to see it, it can be regarded as paying homage to the relics of the ancestors.”

In the last years of the former Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power and the world was in great chaos. Liu Xiu was from Nanyang, and the rebel army he participated in fought fiercely with Wang Mang's troops in Nanyang and Yingchuan. The rebel army besieged Wan County and won a great victory. Wang Mang sent an army of one million reinforcements. From Luoyang to Wanxian, Yingchuan is a must. Liu Xiu once sent thousands of soldiers to patrol the Yangguan area.

Xun Zhen made a self-examination and pleaded guilty to Liu Xie, saying, "It's the minister who didn't think carefully and forgot that Yangguan was a relic where the ancestors once came. I couldn't make preparations first. Please go and pay your respects, and please forgive me."

Kunyang, a county in Yingchuan, is adjacent to Nanyang County. Shortly after Wang Mang's millions of reinforcements arrived in Yingchuan, the Battle of Kunyang, in which Liu Xiu defeated more with less, shook the world.

Liu Xie smiled generously and said: "I also made up my mind on a temporary basis, and the public is innocent."

Xun Zhen went to Yangguan with Zhong Yao and other entourage Liu Xie.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu led more than 100 elite cavalry, and together with Liu Xie's guards, they served as escorts.

"Yangguan" is on the opposite bank of Yingshui, and it is not too far to cross the Yingshui. There is a pass in the name of this place, but it is not a checkpoint, it is just a rural village.

As for Liu Xiu's relics, it is Kunyang where the war happened back then. Today, more than a hundred years later, there are no traces left. Besides, Yangguan is here, but Liu Xiu once led thousands of soldiers to patrol back and forth here? There is nothing left.

And according to the sword standing on the bank of Yingshui, under the lush weeping willow tree, looking at the field where the wheat will be ripe and full of golden yellow, and the young Liu Xie who is surrounded by yellow earth walls inside and outside the "Yangguan Gathering", But it seemed that he couldn't get enough of the common sight in front of him.

Xun Zhen, who was beside him, saw it clearly, and there was an indescribable eagerness in his eyes.

"Or desire?" Xun Zhen thought.

Xun Zhen didn't speak, just waited quietly beside him.

After watching from afar and near for a long time, Liu Xiecai said reluctantly, "Gong Xun, let's go back."

Xun Zhen kept silent, bowed to the promise, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were still leading the way, Xun Zhen and Zhong Yao followed Liu Xie and returned the same way. At the side of the car, Xun Zhen respectfully invited Liu Xie to board the car. Afterwards, he returned to the headquarters of the Central Army and ordered to move on.

Yangguan is already in the territory of Yangzhai County, and after more than ten miles, it is Yangzhai County.

That night, I stayed in Yangzhai City for one night.

...

The next morning, I left Yangzhai County, no longer walking along the Yingshui, but turned slightly eastward, and traveled more than 40 miles that day to Yingyin County.

Liu Xiefu summoned Xun Zhen to see him, and proposed to go to Xun Zhen's house to have a look.

Xun Zhen said: "If you go back to your Majesty, the minister has been away from home for a long time, and the family has no one to look after it. It may be in ruins. If your Majesty wants to visit the court's house and wait for the minister to come back and tidy up the house, you will dare to welcome His Majesty."

Liu Xie praised him and said, "It's the same for you to leave your family for the country." He also said, "I know that there are many handsome men in the clan, and I can recommend two people with outstanding children from the clan to enter the court, and I worship them as the lord."

When the car arrived in Hongnong County before, Liu Xie specially approved Yang Biao to honor one of his clan Junyan as his husband, and now Xun Zhen allows two of his clan Junyan to worship him as his husband, but this treatment is higher than Yang Biao.

Xun Zhen thanked him for his kindness, and then declined, saying: "I have heard that the one who is above the monarch, and whether he punishes Zang or not, has a basis. The younger generation of the ministers are indeed quite outstanding, but they have not achieved the merits of size, and He De has been awarded the official emolument of the imperial court. After they have made contributions to His Majesty, it is not too late for His Majesty to discuss the merits."

Liu Xie insisted on his own opinion, and Xun Zhen firmly resigned.

In the end, Liu Xie could only listen to Xun Zhen's wishes.

Liu Xie praised and said: "Public and selfless, the general is also."

Xun Zhen is not really a selfless man. The reason why he does not agree with Yang Biao, but insists on resigning, is actually because he is a new recorder, a general of chariots and cavalry, etc. The more this time, the more careful he must be. , worried about his own reputation in the court and opposition. Just imagine, after being appointed to such an important position, two people from the clan were chosen unceremoniously, and Liu Xie worshipped him as his husband. Once it got out, he knew that it was Liu Xie's order. If he didn't know, he was afraid. They would say that Xun Zhen has just appeared.

Expensive, then Yin clan.

Considering that Yingyin was Xunzhen's hometown, Liu Xie proposed to stay in Yingyin for two more days, so that Xunzhen and his family members who had not seen each other for a long time, as well as his relatives and old friends in Yingchuan, could meet. One is to recite goodbye, and the other is to let Xun Zhen return home.

However, Liu Xie's proposal was still declined by Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen smiled and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Yingyin borders Xuxian, and if you leave Yingyin for 30 to 40 li east, it is Xuxian. When Your Majesty arrives in Xuxian, and all the princes in the court have settled down, , the minister can return to Yingyin at any time. At this moment, the minister foolishly thinks that he should also put the state affairs first, and the private affairs of the minister are nothing to worry about.”

Liu Xiefu was amazed again, so he followed Xunzhen's intention and only rested for one night in Yingyin.

In the evening, many members of the Xunzhen clan and some of his old friends and colleagues from the past came to ask to see him. Entered the camp, set a simple meal, and entertained them.

The next day, we set off to the east and arrived at Xuxian County in the evening.

...

It took about a month from leaving Chang'an to arriving in Xu County.

In just one month, Liu Bei, Chen Yi, Han Ji and others obviously couldn't build a large-scale palace in Xu County, but smaller palaces and houses could still be built.

Under the personal command and supervision of Chen Yi, two large residential areas and one office area have been built in the east of Xu County.

These two large residential areas face north and south. The north part is dedicated to Liu Xie and his harem concubines, as well as a group of eunuchs and palace ladies. The outside is surrounded by tall walls; Officials and their family members lived, divided into several li, and the outside of each li was also surrounded by inner walls.

Part of the office area is located in Liu Xie's residential area, which is used for Baiguan Chaohui and Liu Xie to summon his vassals; some are located in two residential areas, or adjacent to Liu Xie's residential area, or scattered things, these are It was used as an official office for various institutions of the imperial court such as Shangshutai, including the mansion of Sangong and Xunzhen.

The residential and office areas have been built, and to the west of the residential and office areas, a military camp is being built. The military camp occupies a large area and has not yet been completed. This barracks will be used to supply troops and horses garrisoning Liu Xie and Yingyin.

I asked Liu Xie to visit the residential area built for him and inspected the palace area of ​​the Baiguan Chaohui. Compared with the palaces in Luoyang and Chang'an, the conditions must be much simpler, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. All have, Liu Xie has nothing to fault, expressed satisfaction.

The residential area for Liu Xiehe, as well as the residential area for Baiguan and their family members, has all the furniture and furnishings in it. That night, Liu Xiehe followed him to Xu County. They lived in camps, but in residential quarters built for them.

After a month's long journey~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Liu Xie and Bai Guan were all very hard, and finally they arrived in Xu County. Liu Xie passed the order and told Bai Guan to rest for three days.

...

Three days later, on the fourth day, the ministers met in court.

At the first court meeting after Liu Xie moved to Xu County, the court issued dozens of decrees.

These dozens of orders can be divided into three parts.

Partly based on the recommendation of Xun Zhen and others, Zhao worship Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia and other scholars to serve as ministers, servants, ministers, etc.; Some of the senior people are worshipped as doctors, some are worshipped as Lang and so on.

Part of it was to issue an edict to worship Xun as the prefect of Qingzhou, Xun You to be the prefect of Yanzhou, and Zhang Zhao to be the prefect of Xuzhou; at the same time, to pay tribute to Xu Xian, Le Jin and other middle and senior generals under Xun Zhen's account, as well as the various officers that Xun Zhen had previously served. The chiefs of the prefectures and counties also issued decrees and formally appointed them. From then on, these generals under Xun Zhen's tent, as well as the chief officials at all levels, such as the prefectures, counties, and counties in Xu, Yan, and Qing states, were no longer only appointed by Xun Zhen, but were all upright court officials. legitimacy.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

The other part of the imperial edict was only one, and it was given to Yuan Shu.

This imperial decree to Yuan Shu has two meanings.

The first meaning is still to summon Yuan Shu to Xu County to meet Liu Xie. Yuan Shu, like Yuan Shao, made an excuse to refuse the order that he gave Yuan Shu last time to invite him to see him.

The second meaning is to order Yuan Shu to hand over Guo Si to the court to be punished.
