Chapter 1363 Banquet (plus more)
Fifteen miles southwest of Taiyuan City, there is a small Taoist temple. The incense in this Taoist temple is not very good, but it seems to have some supernatural powers. A small stream is introduced from not far from the gate, and it circles out of the Taoist temple. , I don''t know if it''s because of the warm floor or some other unique reason, although in winter, the trees in the courtyard are still green with green branches and leaves, and they don''t look yellow and withered in winter at all.
The entrance of the Taoist temple is clean, although the scene is not big, but the mountains, stones and pavilions are all exquisite. Even the small courtyard in the courtyard seems to change scenery from time to time. It is obvious that a lot of thought has been spent on it. It is obvious that it is a person who does not care about ordinary people. Incense, specializing in the business of high-end customers...
Taiyuan City, comparatively speaking, is safer than ordinary northern cities because of its geographical relationship, and it may be the reason for the prosperity of Huang Lao in the early years. It is near Taiyuan. Is this my business? It is still reliable, and this Taoist temple is also quite unique, so survival does not seem to be a big problem.
Today, there seemed to be some voices coming from this small Taoist temple. A thick brocade curtain was surrounded in the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard to form a circle sheltered from the wind. The air inside the warm curtain, the servants on the side are busy, in addition to delivering some vegetarian wine and vegetables, they also have to be careful from time to time whether the stove is contaminated with moisture, whether there is smoke intrusion, even if it is one by one He was so ashamed by the smoke outside that he didn''t dare to cough, for fear of disturbing the honored guests inside.
Inside the curtain, there were not many people sitting.
In the middle are two middle-aged scribes, Eguan Bodai. Even in the cold winter, they did not wear the usual fur robes, but brocade clothes. Looking at the style, they looked like the so-called "down jackets" that had just emerged in Pingyang in the past two years. ", without the bloated appearance of the whole body, it is refreshing and chic. One person is about 40 or 50 years old. He is a little younger, about twenty or thirty years old, and he is also very handsome. Although he is darker and thinner, he is full of ability when talking and laughing.
The one who sat next to him was a Taoist priest wearing a feather robe and a star crown. Although we don''t talk much, the jokes are fun, not only talking about Huang Ting, but also talking about some poems and articles, and even some folk affairs. He didn''t show his timidity in front of these two scribes, and he was very able to cope with his superiors. Two sentences.
One end of the curtain is open, and the view of the stream is in sight. Although it is already cold and windy outside, in this pavilion, not only are they wearing warm brocade and fleece clothes, but they also have warm water cages under their feet. The censer in hot hands naturally doesn''t feel the slightest bit of chill.
The older scribes pointed to the still green trees in the courtyard and said with a smile: "The Taoist master really has supernatural powers! Where did he get such a stealthy skill and such a spring? There are three feet of snow in Taiyuan City, and there are three inches of spring here." If the Daoist God passes through people and turns Taiyuan City into a beautiful spring, wouldn’t it be a great fortune?"
The Taoist priest waved his whisk lightly, and said with a slight smile: "The Xiaodao just got some blessings from the Three Purities, so how can there be any supernatural powers? This yin and yang fortune-telling is very mysterious. The Xiaodao just sees that this place has a unique hole in the sky. Only when there is such a scene in the Jiji Bureau, I dare not claim credit for it.”
The old scribe laughed, and instead of continuing on this topic, he turned to the young scribe and said, "My brother Yanyun, I heard that Pingyang also has spring seedlings that grow in winter, and the fruits and vegetables are emerald green. Is it the same as here? "
Wang Ling and Wang Yanyun nodded and said, "That''s true. But..." Wang Ling''s eyes circled around the roots of the trees in the courtyard, and continued with a slight smile, "It''s different from this place."
The old scribe laughed loudly, pointed at Wang Ling and said, "I heard that brother Yanyun is very intelligent, but I saw it today, and it turned out to be true!" Then he turned his head and said to the Taoist priest, "It''s still too smokey, take a look, put the tree trunk It''s all blackened..."
Daoist Priest was not annoyed when his tricks were exposed, he just laughed and said: "Youdao is a real person who does not reveal his appearance, and his appearance is not a real person, and Xiaodao is just deceiving ordinary people. Naturally, he dare not hide anything in front of the two true gods... Although this tree is fake, Su Zhai is real... It''s getting late, so Xiao Dao went to urge Yi Er, don''t let these lazy **** spoil your elegance..."
After finishing speaking, the Taoist chief made a speech, and then went to the back kitchen to urge the dishes.
Seeing green things in winter, it is really auspicious to say that it is auspicious, but there are also people who have been fooled like Taoist priests. The old scribes saw the letter from their own children, and they were a little worried that their children were still young and were deceived, so they happened to come here in Taiyuan Visiting friends, and seeing Wang Ling returning home to visit his relatives, he specially invited Wang Ling here to find out the details.
"So..." The old scribe stroked his beard and said, "The fruits and vegetables produced in Pingyang are not false?"
"Report to Duke Jiang," Wang Ling said with a smile, "I heard that your son is also in the academy, how can you not know the details?"
Sima Fang looked a little embarrassed, raised his head and smiled, and said: "After all, this matter is a bit unbelievable..."
"Unbelievable..." Wang Ling didn''t laugh at Sima Fang, nodded and said, "That''s true. When I first met him, I couldn''t believe it..."
"So, but does General Zhengxi have supernatural powers?" Sima Fang''s eyes flickered.
Wang Ling shook his head and said: "No. According to General Zhengxi, this is a farming skill. If you have the heart, you can learn it. It''s not a supernatural power..."
Sima Fang froze for a moment. Maybe Sima Yi was anxious when he wrote the letter, or he didn''t hear what General Zhengxi said later, so in the letter he only wrote about the large amount of vegetables and fruits in winter, not what Wang Ling said Follow up. At first Sima Fang thought that General Zhengxi would take advantage of this opportunity to create some mystery, so he was a little disdainful in his heart. After all, Sima Fang had seen many so-called supernatural beings over the years, and all of them were deceitful people. , like this monastery is still good, after all, it belongs to the type of willingness to take the bait, even if it is dismantled, it will not be a big problem, but Zhengxi is different. If Zhengxi erects an image of supernatural powers, it will not be the same as that Are the three Zhang Bao brothers the same?
In the end, Wang Ling did not expect that Zhengxi bluntly said that these are not supernatural powers, and that everyone can learn to copy them. Sima Fang couldn''t help but took a long breath, and murmured: "General Zhengxi, with a noble heart, is really very human." and also…"
Wang Ling is silent.
"It seems that when the ice and snow on the road melt, this old man really wants to go to Pingyang to have a look..." Sima Fang stroked his beard and said, "I don''t know when Brother Yanyun will leave? Can I take this old man along?"
Wang Ling nodded and said: "Naturally, there is no objection! The younger brother will definitely tell Jiangong that it is..."
"So I''ll beg my dear brother..." Sima Fang cupped his hands, turned his head and saw the Taoist priest leading a row of attendants with dishes coming from afar, he couldn''t help laughing, "It seems that the vegetarian food is ready...haha, The vegetarian restaurant here has a unique flavor, and I don’t know if it suits my brother’s taste, haha..."
………………
Juan City.
Alexander.
Temple of Emperor Yu.
Hall of King Shun.
Yuan Shao held a banquet here.
The wine has three rounds, and the food has five flavors. Yuan Shao coughed lightly, and said: "I heard that Your Majesty was in a lot of trouble in Puyang. He didn''t have any clothes or food. I felt very uneasy... It''s sad and lamentable to think that a great man has come to such a place..."
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Guo Tu cupped his hands and said: "Duke Ming is worried about the country, which is the blessing of the world! Since your Majesty can''t give you anything in Puyang, you might as well move to Juancheng... Firstly, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and secondly, It can also stabilize the universe..."
"Move the capital to Juancheng?" Yuan Shao frowned, repeated these words heavily, then turned his head to look at Tian Feng, and said with a smile, "Gong Ze''s words seem to make sense, I don''t know what Yuan Hao saw. ?”
Tian Feng couldn''t help but widen his eyes when he heard the words. If the capital could be moved to Juancheng, wouldn''t this be the strategy that Jushou said before, welcoming the grand drive to the west, taking the emperor to command the princes, and the beasts and horses to fight for justice?
Didn''t Yuan Shao veto this issue before, so that Cao Cao intervened?
Could it be that Yuan Shao suddenly figured it out?
For Tian Feng, controlling the emperor on the territory of Jizhou is naturally better than letting the emperor fall into the hands of Yuzhou people. Although it is not clear why Guo Tu suddenly made such remarks, it does not hinder Tian Feng Immediately cupped his hands and said, "What Duke Ming said is true! Moving the capital to Juancheng is the best policy! It can be done quickly!"
Yuan Shao tilted his head, seemed to think for a while, then nodded and said: "Good! A handwritten letter like this can make Meng De move His Majesty to Juan!"
Tian Feng and Ju Shou looked at each other, they both saw joy in each other''s eyes, then bowed decisively, and shouted: "Master Shengming!"
Guo Tu and others on the side also worshiped together.
Yuan Shao laughed, got Tian Feng and others to get up, then clapped his hands, and was about to let the singing and dancing enter the arena, but saw the director Geng Bao stood up beside him, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord! Congratulations, congratulations!" !"
Yuan Shao said with a smile: "The well-being of the world is great joy...what''s your joy?"
Geng Bao cupped his hands and said: "At the end of the next year, in Mount Li, I occasionally see the mountains shining brightly, and the lights are dazzling, so people go to the mountains to look for them. After entering five miles, the wind and snow cleared a bit, and then five miles later, the wind and snow stopped suddenly. I saw a box in the rocky valley, in a land of yin and yin, colorful butterflies were flying, and phoenixes were lingering. I couldn''t help but feel a big difference! The yellow brocade is in the box, and there are cinnabar seal characters on it, and the yellow brocade leaves the box, and suddenly there is thunder from heaven and earth!"
The director Geng Bao spoke with joy, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"...The land of yin and yin turned yellow in a blink of an eye, colorful butterflies flew away, ostriches sang and flapped their wings in the sky, and the wind and snow whizzed down again!" Geng Bao, the chief bookkeeper, said in a melodious tone, "...I didn''t dare to stay for a long time, and returned in a hurry ..."
Tian Feng touched the cane on the side. His legs and feet are a little inconvenient, so he usually carries a cane. He found that his palms were sweating. He glanced at Yuan Shao, then at the director Geng Bao, and then looked around. Looking around at the faces of the rest of the staff, they couldn''t help but frown.
Xu You slapped his hands aside, and said: "So, there is such a treasure in Mount Li? It should be found again!"
Director Geng Bao smiled, and said: "That day the wind and snow were extremely severe, and all the paths were gone. When the wind and snow stopped, people would go again, and it was impossible to find..."
"Oh! What a pity!" Xu You really felt the pity, shaking his head and sighing.
Ju Shou was dubious, silent, and said nothing.
Xin Ping suddenly said: "Boss Geng, just now... Listen to what you said, there is a piece of Huang Jin in the box? I don''t know where it is?"
Director Geng Bao said with a slight smile, "It''s right here! Come! Come up here!"
Immediately, an attendant was holding a huge lacquer plate, covered with a layer of red satin, and a roll of yellow brocade was placed in it. There were some red lines on the yellow brocade, which seemed to be the words written on the yellow brocade.
The attendant respectfully brought Huang Jin to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao looked around, then slowly stretched out his hand, took Huang Jin into his hand, unfolded it, pondered for a moment, stroked his beard, then put Huang Jin back on the lacquer tray, motioned for the attendant to bring it to Tian Feng, and slowly Slowly said: "Huang Jin''s words have mysterious meanings, and some people don''t understand them. I don''t know if Yuan Hao can explain one or two?"
Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shao first, then put his cane aside, took the yellow brocade from the attendant''s lacquer plate, unfolded it, and found a line of seal characters written on the yellow brocade. For most people, the characters in seal script may be difficult to decipher, but for Tian Feng, there is no difficulty. I saw the words on the Huang Jin, "If the red virtue is exhausted, it should be Huang Yin. From the heart of the people" in sixteen characters.
Tian Feng''s hand trembled uncontrollably, driving Huang Jin to fluctuate along with it.
...
Guo Tu and Feng Ji exchanged glances, then raised their chopsticks at the same time, picked food from the bean dish, and put it in their mouths, as if they were devouring the delicious food wholeheartedly.
Xu You frowned and looked at this and that, took a breath between his teeth, then stroked his beard, his face was a little ugly.
Xin Ping stared at the director Geng Bao, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some thin beads of sweat on the head of the director Geng Bao.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became weird. Everyone seemed to be busy with their own affairs, but they seemed to be paying attention to the movements of others.
Tian Feng took a long breath, and the trembling of his arms gradually stopped. He first arched his hands towards Yuan Shao, then put down Huang Jin, grabbed the walking stick, and stood up, his face showing some Smiling, he said to the director Geng Bao: "Master Geng, come here, I have something to say..."
Master Geng Bao didn''t doubt that he was there, so he took two steps towards Tian Feng''s place, cupped his hands and said, "What''s your inquiry, Mr. Tian?"
Tian Feng held the cane tightly, the knuckles of the fingers were a little white, when he saw the master Geng Bao approaching, he suddenly jumped up, and a cane was drawn on the forehead of the master Geng Bao, and immediately the master Geng Bao Smashed to the ground, blood flowing!
"Bastard! How dare you pretend to be auspicious! Deceive the lord! Bewitch the public! Confuse the public!" Tian Feng shouted, while continuing to beat the master Geng Bao with his cane.
There was an uproar in the lobby, and everyone was shocked, unable to react for a while.
The cane was overwhelmed by the fierce collision, and finally broke with a click. Tian Feng couldn''t stand and fell to Jushou. Jushou quickly stretched out his hand to help Tian Feng up. Tian Feng''s lips moved a few times, and Jushou immediately Eyeballs rounded...
"Stop! Stop!" Yuan Shao shouted loudly, "Yuan Hao, why are you acting like this!"
Tian Feng threw the yellow brocade in his hand on the ground, pointed at the chief bookkeeper Geng Bao and shouted angrily: "Such villains slander the country, make unreasonable judgments, go against the norms of heaven and earth, and intend to rebel against the court! What do you mean by ''decline of red virtue''?" ?Ah?! The big man is the virtue of fire, how dare you say that the big man is ''declining''? Such a person is no different from the yellow scarf thieves of the past! The three brothers of the Zhang family disrupted the country and caused chaos everywhere. I never thought that there would be such a villain living here , Want to bewitch the lord! If the lord falls into this thief''s scheme, wouldn''t it be the way to become a yellow turban rebellion! Damn it! You should kill it! You should punish its nine clans!"
"This..." Yuan Shao couldn''t help but twitched his lips.
Jushou took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Ming Gong! The people of Jizhou have suffered greatly from the Yellow Turban! Don''t let it revive and poison the country! Master Geng has evil intentions. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, if you don’t kill him, you won’t be angry with the people, and if you don’t kill him, you won’t be able to calm the hearts of the people! If you don’t kill him, Jizhou will be in chaos! Please give me an order, my lord, kill him quickly!”
The director Geng Bao was beaten up by Tian Feng, his head was covered with blood, and his mind was a little dazed. He suddenly heard Tian Feng and Ju Shou jumping out, yelling fiercely, and wanting to kill his whole family. A little flustered, he quickly raised his head, looked at Yuan Shao, and stretched out his hand, "This matter... this matter... lord... lord, save me...it''s lord..."
The corners of Yuan Shao''s eyes twitched, "Come here! Drag this deceitful person away! Cut him off!"
"My lord! My lord! You can''t...uh..."
The chief secretary, Geng Bao, was about to say something, but was slapped on the cheek by the guard who rushed in, and he couldn''t speak completely, and was dragged down like a dead dog.
In the lobby, the atmosphere became weird again.
For this reason, the banquet could not continue. Yuan Shao took the lead to say that he was too strong to drink, and then left. The rest of the people naturally lost the interest to continue drinking. After leaving, only a piece of yellow brocade was left in the lobby, stained with the blood of the master Geng Bao...
………………
"Bastard!" Yuan Shao slapped the table heavily. What people say, people''s opinion, and Jizhou will be chaotic, in fact, they all have the same meaning, which is to threaten Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is not stupid, how can he not understand, how can he not be angry?
Yuan Shao deliberately chose to have a banquet here in Lishan, in the Temple of Emperor Yu and the Palace of King Shun. The meaning of this is obvious. As a result, Tian Feng became violent on the spot, and actually beat up the director Geng Bao in front of Yuan Shao. Crazy beating!
This is not slapping the director Geng Bao, but slapping Yuan Shao''s face!
Geng Bao is not a big family, nor is he a famous scholar, but sitting in the position of the master book, he represents Yuan Shao! The chief bookkeeper is in charge of the correspondence documents and discusses the secrets. Although the rank is not high, it is not that the confidant can''t let it go. Tian Feng''s behavior does not give Yuan Shao any face at all!
And this is after Yuan Shao just expressed his willingness to let the emperor come to Juancheng!
What is reciprocation?
What is Reciprocity?
Yuan Shao felt that his face was burning hot, as if he had been slapped a dozen times by Tian Feng!
"Master..." Guo Tu''s voice sounded outside the door.
Yuan Shao stretched out his hands, rubbed his cheeks, took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, and said in a deep voice: "Gongze, come in..."
Guo Tu approached, and under the light of the setting sun, a long, wide and wide shadow appeared, which seemed to cover the only remaining light in the house. When he approached Yuan Shao, he cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "The Tian family belongs to the rich family of Jizhou. ..."
"Hmm..." Yuan Shao sighed for a long time, nodded and said, "I know the meaning of the rules..."
Guo Tu nodded and stopped talking.
Yuan Shao closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened them suddenly, with a cold light shining in his eyes, "The vicious dog devours the master, cut off the minions! Does the Lord have a good strategy?"
Guo Tu nodded, took a step forward, and whispered in Yuan Shao''s ear...
………………
Outside the south gate of Gaoyang City, Qu Yi''s tall figure was riding on a horse, but the black cloak on Ren''s back was rattling by the strong wind in the wild. , just waiting quietly.
Although it was said that this time Yuan Shao said he would hold a celebration banquet for Qu Yi, from Qu Yi down, the expressions on everyone''s faces were not as relaxed and showing off as in the past, but a little restless.
Qu Yi was originally from Pingyuan, but later fled to Xiping, but Xiping was a guest place after all, and Qu Yi still wanted to return to his hometown, so he returned to Jizhou when Han Fu was the shepherd of Jizhou. The most important thing is to suppress the local nobles in Jizhou, so the relationship with Han Fu has always been bad. It was not until Yuan Shao hung up at the East Gate that Qu Yi found a good opportunity to stand up and rise.
but now…
Qu Yi glanced left and right. Originally, the total number of Qu clan''s soldiers was close to 1,500, but now there are only these 300 soldiers left. The rest died in this battle with Gongsun Zan, especially in the The fight with Baima Yicong directly lost more than half of it!
These soldiers are Qu Yi''s veterans, and they are soldiers who follow Qu Yi wholeheartedly, like brothers, and naturally they are Qu Yi''s most reassuring personal guards.
Yuan Shao suddenly invited Qu Yi to a banquet in Gaoyang, saying that it was to commend Qu Yi''s contribution in the battle of Gongsun Zan, but after Qu Yi arrived in Gaoyang, he didn''t know why, and felt something was wrong.
"...Yan Nanchui, Zhao Beishang. Chrysanthemums fall, Zhuanghe is desolate. Under Zhangtai, bones are full. There are dimension magpies, and they lose their nests..." Qu Yi didn''t know why he suddenly remembered this sentence, and then turned his head to look To the outside of Gaoyang city.
Under the harsh winter, the wilderness is desolate and sparsely populated, and the sun hangs feebly in the sky, looking like it is lingering.
"Hmm..." Qu Yi seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn''t find the clue to sum it up, like hemp twine.
All kinds of thoughts tossed and turned in his mind, but he still couldn''t come to any conclusion. In the end, Qu Yi just let out a long breath, and irritatedly waved a whip in the air. Ears perked up, just let out a long neigh.
This Gao Yang, should he enter or not?
keep your word…
Add more, add more...
If you have more monthly tickets, I will add more tomorrow...
