Chapter 61: Guangyang Eliminates Evil
Not to mention the death of the sandalwood locust. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This year, our Shang Shuling, the great eunuch of the Great Changqiu Cao Festival, finally failed to survive this winter. Finally died.
Cao Jie's death affected many people. It was the party and the students who danced with joy, and it was the ministers with a brisk and bright smile on the corner of their mouths, and in addition to the Cao Jie family, there was also our co-lord of the four seas, the Son of Heaven.
Even if you have a pet for a long time, you will also have feelings. What's more, it's a human, not to mention that this humanoid pet witnessed the growth of the emperor, and when the emperor was confused, lonely, and insecure in his childhood, he always accompanied the emperor and brought a lot of happiness to the emperor. Therefore, the ministers regarded Cao Jie as an enemy, but the emperor regarded Cao Jie as a relative. As soon as Cao Jie died, the emperor was so sad that he not only stopped the court for several days to show his mourning, but also posthumously presented Cao Jie with the title of General Che Cai. Before and after death, the honor and favor will not fade.
It didn't take long for Zhu Yu to think that Cao Jie was too lonely under Jiuquan, or maybe they were a pair of good friends and were reluctant to separate. So Zhu Yu also followed Cao Jie under Jiuquan and died of illness at home. At this point, the first emperor began to participate in court politics until now, and several old eunuchs who have caused trouble in the world have all withered. The emperor lamented the death of Cao Jie Zhu Yu, who was always with him, and ordered their adopted son to inherit their title and pass on the incense. This time, no minister came out to oppose it. Well, the biggest enemies are dead, we scholars pay attention to benevolence and forgiveness, forget it, don't pursue it, and assist the king well in the future and govern the world. It's a pity that the ministers were not happy for a few days, and the ten permanent servants headed by Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang took over the positions of Cao Jie and others in an all-round way, and began to appear on the stage of history......
Guangyang is too far away from the imperial court, and some shocks in the capital cannot affect here. At this time, Liu Bei was taking Zhang Fei and Jian Yong to wander on the street. He has been alive and well recently, and his mother, Mrs. Liu, has gradually withered, and she can't be treated well with any medicine. But after Liu Bei got married and moved to Guangyang with his son, his spirit became more and more vigorous. I don't know if the daughter-in-law is really well-behaved and waits well, or if she has the obsession to see her grandson come into the world, anyway, her body is gradually getting better day by day. Liu Bei saw that his mother's spirit was better than a day, where could he not be happy.
Zhang Fei will be eighteen years old after the New Year, and he is as strong as a little tiger. Now that he has amazing divine power, listening to this guy's proud boasting, his father Zhang Kuanfu is already a defeated soldier under him. This bear child, if he has nothing to do, he will catch his father for practice, if Zhang Bo does not agree, Zhang Bo and his father Zhang Taigong will blow his beard and stare at him. But every time Liu Bei saw him, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help it, his mighty and majestic body had a slightly immature little white face. How awkward it looks, from the back, he is definitely a good man, but when he turned his head, he found that he was just a child.
In the past few years, under the guidance of Liu Bei's endless letters, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong have grown up very quickly. Liu Bei made it very clear to them in his letters, just flip through the scriptures casually, there is no need to plunge into it, if you really want to plant it, you won't be able to get out. The three classics of "Poems", "Yi" and "Li" can be read less, "Shangshu" and "Spring and Autumn" can be read more, and then "Mencius", "Zhongyong", "University" and "Analects" are the focus. Liu Bei is a complete pragmatist, he uses it if it is useful, and he doesn't bother to look at it if it is useless, but Zhang Fei and Jian Yong were deeply affected by it and agreed with it. I don't know if it's because I think there are too many scriptures just to reduce the burden or because Liu Bei's words are too reasonable......
Jian Yong is okay, Liu Bei is very relieved, what he is most worried about is Zhang Fei. Now under the influence of him and Zhang Bo, Zhang Fei's bad habit of drinking like life should be eradicated. But the class concept that was born in Zhang Fei's mind still made Liu Bei's heart tremble. Zhang Fei loves and respects the gentleman and does not care for the villain, which is the main reason why he died. If you don't reverse his concept, even if Zhang Fei is not drunk, sooner or later he will fall into someone else's plot.
Although Liu Bei has repeatedly emphasized the concept of all people being created equal in his letters over the years, he really doesn't know if Zhang Fei has listened to it. After all, it is really difficult to publicize this in feudal society. This time, the two little guys came to Guangyang to see him, and he took two people to the street to experience the Guangyang style.
After taking the two of them to eat and drink, they began to hang out. At the foot of the city ahead, there was a beggar with a dirty face, half-lying and half-sitting, bitter in winter, but his clothes were shabby, revealing his thin legs. Liu Bei sighed lightly, took off his robe, tied it for the old beggar, took out a string of money, and said, "Uncle, go drink a bowl of hot soup, and then find a better place to spend the winter." ”
The old beggar kowtowed to the ground again and again, trying to say something, but his lips, which had been frozen purple, kept trembling, but in the end he just shed a cloudy tear and said nothing.
Jian Yong glared at him and said, "Brother, you are the county commander here, and there are even beggars under your rule?" He still thought that Liu Bei was omnipotent.
Liu Bei smiled as he walked: "The middle of the day is the sun, the moon is profitable, the gold is not enough, and no one is perfect." Who in this world can be perfect? Both of you need to remember that you don't have to be perfect in doing things, but you have to do your best. That way, no one can blame you even if things don't work out! And you can have a clear conscience. ”
Seeing the two nodding thoughtfully, Liu Bei said again: "A gentleman loves people with virtue, and my Confucianism talks about benevolence, what is benevolence?" All the books say what they are, but in summary, they are still lovers. Whether it's a blind date up or down, or a gentle person, they are all lovers. Who do you love? We must love everyone, treat everyone equally, and do not discriminate against each other because of their occupation, origin, or class. They are sinners, slaves, and all of them are raised by the blood of their parents. How is it different from us? ”
But while loving others, we must also remember the teachings of the sages, a gentleman loves others with virtue, and villains love others with appeasement. Charity is not unprincipled. We do not discriminate, and while we do not discriminate, we must also have a clear concept of good and evil. The good are as cheap as slaves, and they must be loved; The wicked, if you are a prince, will also rise up and attack him. That's what Confucians like me do. For example, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other kinds, who have harmed my people and invaded my royal land, how can they be benevolent and loving? Anyone who harms the world will be punished by everyone! ”
When Zhang Fei and Jian Yong heard this, they were greatly touched, and nodded respectfully to be taught. As the three of them were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of scolding behind them, and looked back, but saw that several people were snatching the old beggar's coat, and the old beggar probably knew that this coat was the only guarantee for his safe passage through this winter, so he held on to it. Zhang Fei saw several people punching and kicking the old beggar, and couldn't help but be angry, and rushed to the front with a few strides, slashed his face, and punched the person on the left so that his nose was splashed, and he fell to the ground, and swept his legs again, overturning the two people on the right. By the time Liu Bei and Jian Yong came, the three of them had all fallen to the ground and were humming.
The guy with the nosebleed didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he still shouted, "Blind your eyes, you know who we are!" Who to do things for! ”
Liu Bei was angry, it seems that no matter what era, there is always such a group of self-righteous people. He said coldly: "Da Lang, fight with me, don't kill you." ”
When Zhang Fei heard it, there were still two words, and suddenly his fists and feet were added, and the miserable howl like killing a pig resounded here, and the scene was simply miserable. Seeing that Zhang Fei kept fighting, Liu Bei said: "Da Lang, don't fight, let them report the news, I want to see who they are doing things for!" ”
Zhang Fei slapped him well, and when he saw Liu Bei stop, he let out a depressed sigh, then stopped, kicked again, and scolded: "Go and invite your master to come, my brother is waiting here!" ”
The three men ran away with their heads in their hands. Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei with a worried face and said, "Brother, are you really waiting?" He didn't worry about the strength of others, he knew very well the value of Zhang Fei's force here. He was worried about Liu Bei's respect for a county, was it a bit inappropriate to stay here?
Liu Bei shook his head and said coldly: "It's okay, I also want to see who is behind the scenes who dares to rob the people's wealth in broad daylight!" ”
Then he turned to the old beggar and said softly, "With me here to make decisions for you, you don't have to be afraid." The old beggar showed gratitude and a hint of shame in his eyes, and when Liu Bei's words fell, he dragged his stump body, hugged his robe, and staggered away step by step.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a loud voice: "Hey, why are you like this!" Stop! When the old beggar heard this, he walked faster and faster.
Zhang Fei wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by Liu Bei, Liu Bei said: "Forget it, let him go, pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, human nature." This matter is up to me, so I'll settle it. ”
Zhang Fei was indignant and scolded: "This old bastard! ”
Jian Yong was on the side, he was mild-mannered, and felt that Liu Bei had a reason for acting, so he didn't speak and waited to see what happened.
After a while, a group of people came in front of them, the first one, in a green coat and a small hat, short in stature, but with his chest straight, his hands behind his back, taking figure-eight steps, looking forward to it, his toes were high. A group of people behind him, looking at the dress, are either splashes or family members, dragging sticks upside down one by one, shouting and shouting, showing their teeth and dancing their claws. This momentum shocked Jian Yong, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, do you want to call someone?" ”
Liu Bei's eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "It's okay, if you dare to stir up trouble, you can knock them over one by one first." Just one sentence made Zhang Fei scratch his ears and cheeks with joy.
When the group of people came to the front, the guy who had been beaten crooked by Zhang Fei earlier walked out with a swagger, holding his head high, and squinting at Liu Bei and the others: "See, my master Hou Ye is here, why don't you quickly kneel down and admit your mistake?" Hey, what about the beggar? ”
The guy in the green coat and the little hat led by him saw Liu Bei and the three of them, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, these three people were handsome and handsome, and they were not vulgar at first glance. I regretted it in my heart. He just listened to the report of the three people who were beaten, saying that he found a coat made of good fur in Liaodong, and wanted to bring it to him to show his filial piety, but he didn't think that he was snatched away by the other three people on the way, and beat them, they reported their names, but they were insulted by the three people. He grew up in the Hou family, and his knowledge was naturally not shallow, and he couldn't help but be very moved by the so-called fur clothes, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart, so he led a group to find trouble. At this time, when I saw Liu Bei and the others, I still didn't understand that I was pitted by my subordinates. How can such a person rob them of their robes? How can they insult people in public?
At that moment, he couldn't help but reluctantly squeeze out a smile, and bowed his hand and said: "In Xia Hou San, the steward of the Hou Mansion in the east of the city, I have seen three sons." ”
Zhang Fei and Jian Yongqi looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Hou family? Haven't heard of it! ”
Hou San's heart was relieved, he didn't know the Hou family, it seemed that he was a foreigner. Because he has basically seen the sons of local wealthy families. In that case, it's easy to do. But he heard Liu Bei say: "But a mere slave can also have such a momentum, this Hou family seems to be afraid that they are used to being tyrannical!" ”
When Hou San heard this, his color changed.
