The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Second more.

Make up for May 8th.

——

Xun Yue, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Yao, and Chen Qun were of different ages: the oldest, Xun Yue, was thirty-three years old, followed by Zhong Yao, who had just reached the age of 33. Xun You and Xun Zhen were about the same age, twenty-four years old. Xun Yu was eighteen years old. Chen Qun was the youngest, only fourteen or fifteen.

Their personalities are also different.

Xun Yue was young and lonely, so she was quiet and hard to speak. Xun Yu is gentle and refined. Xun You is also a young orphan. In front of strangers, he is similar to Xun Yue. He doesn't talk much and looks like a coward, but in front of close people, he is actually a person who is good at talking and hates evil.

Zhong Yao started his official career earlier, and is now a county meritorious officer who is "right of the county court". Among the crowd, his interpersonal skills are the strongest, and he can talk and laugh smartly and act rationally.

Chen Qun's grandfather, Chen Yu, was famous all over the world, and he was the only one among the "four chiefs of Yingchuan" who had not passed away, so his family had always been in contact with Hongru, and there was no white person in and out. Although he was young, he was accustomed to seeing famous people in the world since he was a child, and he was very stable. It may be because of his grandfather's influence that he "friends with elegance" and likes to make friends.

Their origins are also different: the uncle and nephew of the Xun family are from Yingyin, Zhong Yao is from Changshe, and Chen Qun is from Xuxian.

However, despite all the differences, there are two things in them that are the same: one is that they are famous, and the other is that they are young and famous.

Xun Yue was able to speak "Spring and Autumn" when he was twelve years old. When Xun Yu was very young, he was praised by He Yong, a famous scholar in Nanyang, as "a talented king". Amazed. When Zhong Yao was a child, he was once said by a photographer: "This boy has an honorable prime minister." Chen Qun often told his grandfather Chen Yu to be "strange" when he was a child, thinking: "This child will prosper my ancestry." Seen as his own thousand-mile horse.

Compared with the five of them, Xun Zhen couldn't keep up with the horses. If it weren't for him also being a son of the Xun clan, or if he didn't do several admirable things after he became the head of Fanyang Pavilion and the rank of Xixiang, he successively won the "two dragons" Xun Wan and the county magistrate. The admiration from Zhu Chang and the others was not even qualified to accompany the five of them, let alone the five of them to leave the convoy and come to walk and talk with him.

Zhong Yao, Xun Yu and other five people were all famous in Dongzhou County. The scholars in the county knew their names. The village officials who followed Xun Zhen out to greet the prefect consciously gave way and asked them to walk in front, side by side with Xun Zhen. And go. Zhu Ai and Xin Ai also walked by the side.

Xun's genes are good, and all the children of their family are beautiful. Xin Ai is even more beautiful. Zhong Yao and Chen Qun also had a clear ceremonial appearance. Although Zhu Ai was only a middle-aged person, as a county meritorious officer, he was also in charge of a county's personnel power, and he also had his own majesty.

Seeing the eight of them in front of them, the village officials whispered: "In the past, Chen Taiqiu went to Xunlang's mausoleum and asked Yuan Fang to take the chariot and Ji Fang to follow with a staff. When they arrived, Xun Lang's mausoleum sent his uncle Ci to respond. At the door, Ciming went to drink, and the rest of the six dragons ate. Taishi knew it by observing the stars, and he played the emperor and said: 'De Xingkui gathers'. Today, the children of Xun, Zhong, Chen, and Xin are walking with the rank Xunjun in my hometown. For the prefect of the government and the county, it can also be said to be 'Fengji Xixiang'! We are so lucky to be able to witness such a grand scene with our own eyes, maybe many years later, this will be passed down as a good story!"

At that time, it was just noon, the sun was bright, and the spring breeze at the end of January swept the wheat fields beside the aisle with a chill, bringing a fragrant smell into everyone's nose.

Zhong Yao smiled and said, "Looking at the wheat fields from afar, the lush greenery, the strong women delivering water, and the diligent farmers, all of which are full of vitality. Zhenzhi, before coming to Xixiang, I went to several townships in Yangzhai with the lord of the government. It’s all good, but it’s still not as good as yours.” There were farmers working in the fields, and when they saw the guards of honor, the magistrates’ guards of honor, and the cars riding in, they all lost their agricultural tools and prostrated themselves.

Xun Zhen said humbly, "It's only been a month since I took over the position of the township, and it's not time to govern. This is all the credit of my predecessor, Qiangfu Xie Wu, and I don't dare to take credit."

"Is it also Xie Wu's credit for catching the third clan?"

Xun Zhen followed the sound and saw that it was Xin Ai who asked the question. Xin Ai's mother was Xun You's aunt and Xun Zhen's elder sister. Earlier in Xun Yu's house, Xun Zhen met him, and Xi Zhicai was there at that time. Seeing Xin Ai, Xun Zhen thought of Xi Zhicai again without realizing it, and said to herself, "It's a pity that Xi Zhicai was born in a poor family, not a son of a famous family, or else he would definitely be summoned by the lord of the government, and he would be able to meet him twice today. See you."

He knew that Xin Ai was arrogant and arrogant because he was pampered since he was a child, and he ignored his rude interjection, and replied: "The third clan runs rampant in the village, fishes the common people, and commits many illegal things, so it invites the extermination of the clan. The disaster. "Mandarin": 'In the face of disaster and forgetting sorrow, it is for the joy of disaster'. The downfall of their family is neither the credit of Xie Jun, nor my credit, but their own happiness."

"Huh? Since the third clan is so bad, why didn't Xie Wu kill them when he was the husband of Youzhi? ..., Zhenzhi, do you mean that Xie Wu is not as good as you?" This question was very sharp. Sounds like a mess. However, Xin Ai didn't mean to embarrass Xun Zhen. With such a personality, he always thought of what to say.

When Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, and Zhu Ai heard this question, they all thought in unison, "It's not easy to answer this question." If you admit that Xin Ai is right and admit that Xie Wu is not as good as yourself, it would be too arrogant to give someone a To criticize the impression of his predecessor's unkindness; and if he did not admit it, he would be too modest and weaken Xun's reputation.

Xun Yu frowned slightly, and said, "Yu Lang, you're not keeping your mouth shut!" He wanted to relieve Xun Zhen.

Xun You knew Xun Zhen and was not worried at all, walking beside Xun Yue, the old **** was there, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

Xun Zhen's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly said: "Xie Jun is elegant, likes to persuade people to be kind, and hopes to use Wende to influence the third clan. In this regard, I am not as good as him. I think for the sake of other people, and I will kill the evil and kill one as an example. In this respect, he is not as good as me."

The Zhong Clan of the Changshe is a well-known legal family in the world. Regarding Xun Zhen's annihilation of the Third Clan, Zhong Yao's attitude is that although he feels that Xun Zhen's killings are a little more prosperous, he is aware of the various crimes of the Third Clan. After that, I generally agree.

The Chen Qun family also studied law intensively. The case of the genocide of the Third Clan is the only case of genocide in the county in recent years. Chen Qun has also heard about it and asked his grandfather and father for advice. His grandfather and father held the same view as Zhong Yao, and while criticizing Xun Zhen's excessive slaughter, they generally held a positive attitude.

After listening to Xun Zhen's ingenious answer, the two of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and both thought, "This person not only dares to act, but also has the ability to change, and he is worthy of the Xun family." Zhong Yao laughed and said: "Xie Jun persuaded the good, and Zhen Zhi punished the evil. The two are equally divided, regardless of who is superior."

Xun Zhen's ingenious answer was appreciated by everyone, but Xin Ai was not interested in it. He looked around, watching the scenery of the fields, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Zhenzhi, I heard that it is not far from Xixiang. There is a mountain forest with many birds and beasts, which is a good place for hunting. Have you been there?"

"I know the forest you are talking about, and someone in the township once invited me to go there, but I've been busy with township administration and haven't had time to spare, so I haven't been there yet.  …, what? Yulang wants to hunt? If you're interested , come back another day when I take a bath, and I will accompany you."

Speaking of that mountain forest, Xun Zhen really planned to go hunting whenever she had time in the future.

Of course, not for fun, but for "practice". According to his order, Jiang Qin and Chen Bao sent him a total of twenty people. Most of the twenty people were valiant chivalrous men, and the remaining half were also selected from the "Fanyang Pavilion Trained Limin". The best of them are all skilled in martial arts, and there is no need to work hard with swords and guns. The only thing that needs to continue to be practiced is their battle formation ability, and if you want to/practice battle formations, the best way is naturally "hunting".

Xin Ai held the saber inserted in his left waist with his backhand, pulled it out in half, bent the index finger of his right hand, and flicked the blade on the blade, sighing: "I learned fencing at a young age, and learned archery at fifteen. I feel that I have something to gain, but I regret that my life is not at the right time, and I have no use for it. For example, when I was Emperor Gao and Shizu, the Hou Wanhu was not enough! Alas, now I can only use my swordsmanship and riding and shooting for hunting and hunting, which is a pity! "Dang bang", put the sword back into the sheath, shook his head again and again, and looked sorry for himself.

Everyone laughed. Zhong Yao said with a smile: "Yu Lang is comparing himself to flying generals?" - Emperor Xiaowen once said to Li Guang: "If a son was Emperor Gao, the Marquis of Wanhu would not be enough." Xun Zhen thought, "So Xin Ai has also learned fencing and archery. Listening to what he means, he seems to be a master here?" Although he was a little surprised, he was not very surprised. Many Confucian scholars in the world learned swordsmanship and archery, and many of them were both civil and military.

Xun Yu said helplessly, "Yu Lang, can't you be so arrogant and arrogant? My generation of Confucian scholars should be 'kind, respectful, courteous and yielding'. Which of these five words do you see?" Xin Ai disagreed and said: "Zigong said: 'Master is gentle, courteous, courteous, thrifty'. If I can do these five words, I will be a master!"

The crowd laughed even more.

Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, and Zhu Ai were observing Xun Zhen. While talking to them, Xun Zhen answered all kinds of questions gently, and at the same time observed them secretly. I already know his temperament and personality. I also have a general understanding of Yulang's temperament. Zhong Yao, I have only met him once, and have not had any in-depth discussions. Today, it seems that he is indeed outstanding, no matter who he talks to, It makes people feel like sitting in the spring breeze. Although Chen Qun may be young and unwilling to rudely interrupt our conversation, so he is silent, but his smile is calm and amiable."

We talked and talked all the way, and led the car of the prefect and the magistrate to the official temple.

The official temple is small and cannot accommodate so many people. Yin Xiu and Zhu Chang got out of the car and only brought their five officials and a few important accompanying officials into the courtyard, and ordered the rest to wait outside the official temple temporarily.

After entering the hall, Yin Xiu ordered Xun Zhen to summon all the pavilion and li chiefs of the township, and sent people to make a special trip to invite the elders of the township, Xuanbo. During this period, Yuyu Zuoqiu from Hong Kong and Zhi Qiangfu, Zhi Cheng and Zhi Zuo from Xixiang Zhi came to hear the news~www.wuxiaspot.com~. For a time, the small official temple was kept lively and lively.

——

1. In the past, Chen Taiqiu visited the mausoleum of Xun Lang.

"Shishuoxinyu" records: "Chen Taiqiu went to the Mausoleum of Xunlang. He was poor and frugal and had no servants, so he sent Yuan Fang to lead the chariot, and Ji Fang to hold a staff to follow. Long Wen was still small, and he carried it in the chariot. When he arrived, Xun Let Uncle Ci answer the door, Ci Ming walks the wine, and the rest of the six dragons eat. Wen Ruo is also small, sitting in front of his knees. At that time, Taishi played: 'The real person goes east'." - Long Wen is Chen Qun, and Wen Ruo is of course Xun Yu.

There is another saying: Chen Yu and Xun Shu each took their sons to swim in the West Lake of Yingyin, and the Taishi recorded: 'Dexing Jukui, there are sages within five hundred miles', Emperor Ling sent people to visit, and built Dexing Pavilion in the West Lake. .

Both stories should be fictional. Xun Shu died in 149, Xun Yu was born in 163, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne in 168. It is impossible for these three people to talk about it together. However, Chen Yu and Xun Shu are equally famous. It is normal for the two of them to have contacts, so the two stories are combined in the text, and it is changed to Chen Yu's accomplishments and Xun Shu, Taishi played: "De Xingkui gathers".

2. Chen Qun's family also studied law intensively.

Most of the nobility in Yingchuan County were not only proficient in Confucianism, but also studied law. Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, once discussed the death penalty. After Wei Guojian was established, there was a discussion on "resumption of corporal punishment", in which Chen Qun also participated. His opinions are the same as Zhong Yao's, and they are all supportive.

——The Zhong clan of Changshe, the Chen clan of Xuxian, and the Xun clan of Yingyin were not far from each other. As far as the question of whether to resume corporal punishment, Xun's opinion is probably the same as that of Chen and Zhong. Xun Qi (the son of Xun Qu, Xun Boqi) once "discussed corporal punishment with Kong Rong". Kong Rong was against the resumption of corporal punishment. If Xun Qi was also against it, there would be no need for the two of them to argue.
