Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to what Kong Rong said about Cao Cao in history, what should Cao Cao do when facing the Hebei army?  His strength is far inferior to that of Yuan Shao, so he has no choice but to surrender!  The reason why Kong Rong was in Cao Cao's group was actually just because he wanted to follow Emperor Xian of Han!

    And Yuan Shao is the representative of a wealthy family - this shows that Kong Rong, a famous scholar, actually hopes that Yuan Shao will win.  Only when Yuan Shao wins can the Kong family regain its status as a ruling class of aristocratic families and celebrities.

    As a descendant of eunuchs, Cao Cao's humble background was naturally something that Kong Rong, a famous scholar, was not ashamed of.  This has also become one of the reasons why Kong Rong dared to go against Cao Cao everywhere!

    And Cao Cao, a traitor, could actually keep such a top-notch person by his side for so many years.  Although there are concerns about his status and reputation, I have to admire Cao Cao's endurance.  This further shows Kong Rong¡¯s self-righteous stupidity!

    But at this moment, no one, including Emperor Xian, would think that Kong Rong, who had become a life-saving straw, was just a self-righteous political idiot.  Everyone is watching this elegant and confident celebrity.

    They are all looking forward to him naming a force that can serve as an internal agent and can truly confront the Jiangnan Army.

    Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, including the emperor, Kong Rong's vanity swelled even more: "You don't know yet! He still has several talented people from our Beihai Kingdom in the Jiangnan Army, who hold important positions among his civil and military officials.  !

    They were all loyal subordinates of my subordinates in Beihai Kingdom, but due to various reasons, they lived in Jiangdong one after another.  Unexpectedly, they have now become senior officials of Jiangnan Army.

    A few days ago, I just met one of them and found out that they were all in Jinling City.  When they were subordinates, they were all loyal to the court.  I think it would be better if I, the former Shangguan, come forward.

    Use the principle of righteousness to persuade them, and the emperor can promise them heavy rewards.  If you use them for your benefit and show your affection, these learned and loyal people will inevitably return to serve the emperor.

    With their cooperation, the emperor will issue an order at that time.  Order several state pastoral officials from Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou who are relatives of the emperor to act together.  Regarding the situation that the Emperor is concerned about today, I think that with all parties working together, why worry about the uncertainty of the matter?  "

    Whether it was Emperor Xian or all the ministers, they were all overjoyed when they heard Kong Rong's confident words.

    The young Emperor Xian laughed impatiently and asked: "Haha, with the help of Mr. Kong, the resurgence of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner! I am very relieved, I am very happy! I just don't know who these sages from Beihai are!"

    Could it be that he is more talented than Bing Yuan and other wise men?  It seems that the Beihai Kingdom of my Han Dynasty is really a treasure land for talented people!  "

    Seeing the caution on Kong Rong's face, Emperor Xian smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Kong Rong. All the ministers in this palace are our own. Are they loyal ministers who have gone through thousands of miles of hardships? No one will leak these wise men."  Talent¡¯s name!¡±

    Seeing Emperor Xian¡¯s repeated questioning, Kong Rong, who was a bit showy, finally let go of his guard.  Think about it, how could there be spies among the people who could follow Emperor Xian through life and death to escort him back to the capital?  In this main hall, the eunuchs and maids had already been driven out.

    Among the few who stayed, even the youngest Zhong Yao had been with Emperor Xian for seven or eight years.  If you are not a loyal person, how could you follow the emperor and never abandon him?  What's more, now that Emperor Xian has made repeated requests, Kong Rong, who has a good reputation, naturally has no excuse.

    Kong Rong, who was still a little hesitant, quickly glanced at the people in the hall.  But I saw that the colors on everyone's faces gradually changed. After all, whoever felt that he was not trusted by others would naturally not look good.

    Seeing the faces of the ministers, Kong Rong was immediately shocked.  In front of others, he, Kong Rong, could never boast or speak calmly.

    But he didn¡¯t dare to offend most of the real court elders before he entered the court.

    At that moment, my heart was crossed: "Your Majesty! The day before yesterday, I met my former subordinate Shi Yi. He has just been promoted to the Cavalry Captain of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion. He mainly helps Zhang Zhao, the chief assistant of the Governor, to handle the food distribution in various places.  Many matters related to taxation.

    This guy is now considered a powerful person in charge of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion.  "

    Everyone was stunned and started talking one after another: "Is it Yi? I have never heard of this person's name! There are very few people with the surname "Yi" in this world. If they had heard of it long ago, no one would forget it. No.  What a reputation!

    ?????????????????????????? However, he is working in the Governor's Mansion and is still a cavalry captain, which can be regarded as a general who can command troops.  If we can win him over and surrender to the emperor, we can also give us some news in advance.  Such a person should have his uses!  "

    "Of course it works! How about weWeak and weak, if such an important official of the Governor-General's Office can take refuge with the emperor, of course the more the better!  With their tip-off, if there is any change in the Jiangnan Army, we can all think of ways to deal with it in advance.

    ¡°Well, people like this are very important to our future actions.  He can also bring food and grass for the army, which is absolutely indispensable!  "

    At that time, he was just a small person under his subordinates, but he could make the ministers talk about it for a while, and Kong Rong was even more proud.

    Subconsciously coughing a few times: "Ahem! Your Majesty, this is Yi Ziyu, a native of Yingling, Beihai. When Yi was in Beihai, his surname was "Shi", because his ministers laughed at his "Shi" as "Min"  Supreme, so I changed my surname to "Shi"."

    "Ah!" Everyone couldn't help looking at Kong Rong with strange eyes: "This is Yi. It seems that the relationship between Mr. Kong and Mr. Kong is not good! If Mr. Kong talks about him, if he can't win him over in the future, wouldn't he be asking for it?  Humiliating?"

    Finally, I felt that Kong Rong¡¯s words seemed a bit too boastful.  Dong Cheng looked at Emperor Xian, and then asked Xing Xing very politely: "I wonder if Mr. Kong thought that was Captain Yi, but did he have any scruples about the small festival in Beihai?"

    Seeing the doubts on the faces of the ministers, Kong Rong said proudly: "Hey, don't worry, everyone! That's a man who was famous for his loyalty and forgiveness in the country back then. He will never be an ungrateful person. I met him before.  At that time, I didn't recognize him yet.

    It was he himself who came forward to express his gratitude to me for the great friendship I had with him in Beihai. Only then did I remember his name!  Ha ha!  I think that I, a scholar from Beihai, was deeply taught by saints.  Those are the people who are magnanimous and loyal!  "

    Dong Cheng then smiled reassuringly: "That's very good, that's very good. This is Captain Yi, he is really a noble and upright person!"

    Thinking about it, he was laughed at by Shangguan and forced to change his surname, which would wipe out his entire family from the local area.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?A man with integrity not just let something like this go lightly.  Scholars like Shiyi are really rare.

    But what Kong Rong said was so well-founded that the emperor and ministers who were eager to expand the power of the imperial court subconsciously chose to believe it.  I believe that this person should be a great sage who has truly read the essence of the sages' books.

    Some people also think: "Maybe this is Yi, and there happens to be a special reason in his family that requires the whole family to change their surname!"

    It seems that everyone in Emperor Xian has chosen to believe that this is a figure who can be won over by Yi.  Kong Rong's interest was even higher, and he continued to smile enigmatically: "Actually, this is because Yi is just a minor official in the Jiangnan Army. Haha!"

    Having said this, Kong Rong stopped talking abominably, with a mysterious look on his face that aroused everyone's appetite.

    Emperor Xian, who was staring at Kong Rong, reacted the fastest. His eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Oh, does Mr. Kong have subordinates with higher official positions who can serve in the Jiangnan Army? This, this is really God helping me, the Emperor of Han."  Quan is revived!¡±

    "Haha!" Kong Rong laughed dryly. His uncle Dong Cheng did not pick up the topic in time, but let the emperor take the lead.  This made Kong Rong, who was in good condition, feel that he had missed more opportunities to show off his talents, and glanced at Dong Cheng with some resentment.

    But he did not dare to delay any longer: "I would like to report to the emperor that when I was talking to Shiyi, I also heard that Sun Shao, the meritorious officer appointed by me when I was the governor of Beihai, is now serving in the Governor's Mansion. Sun Shao is a real person  He has the talent of Langmiao!"

    "Sun Shao? Could it be Sun Changxu? The new Governor-General Shi?"

    Zhong Yao, who was just listening quietly on the sidelines, suddenly shouted out in surprise!  "After Zhang Zhao was promoted to the position of Governor-General's Mansion, the Governor of Jiangnan specially proposed that the young Changxu should take over the position of Governor-General's Mansion's Chief Shi!

    He is indeed a man of great talent, but I heard that he was originally a subordinate of Liu Yaozhou Mu, and he surrendered with Yangzhou.  But never would he have imagined that he had actually done meritorious service under Mr. Kong back then!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It seems that Mr. Kong¡¯s land in Beihai is really full of talents!  Sun Shao, it¡¯s actually him!  "

    Since he learned that Cai Yan had come to Jinling, Zhong Yao often went to the Governor's Mansion to ask for Cai Yan without hesitation.  In order to study the Cai family's Fei Bai Shu.  However, Zhong Yao is the minister who has the closest relationship with the Governor-General's Palace among the ministers.

    It¡¯s not surprising that he knows Shi Sunshao, the governor-general.  Zhong Yao's almost crazy obsession with calligraphy is something that everyone in the court has long known.

    Zhong Yao is the third generation successor of Cai Yong¡¯s calligraphy.  It is said that Cai Yong learned calligraphy from the god and then passed it on to Cui Yuan and his daughter Wenji.  Wen Ji's biography is about Zhong Yao, Zhong Yao's biography is about Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei's biography is about Wang Xizhi, and Wang Xizhi's biography is about Wang Xianzhi.

    He is good at writing in various calligraphy styles including seal, official, Zhen, Xing and Cao.The best ones are regular script, which is elegant and simple, round and powerful, ancient and mellow, simple in brushwork, and natural. It is a rare method for us to learn calligraphy by incorporating the ancient and the new.

    When Zhong Yao was about to die, he called his son Zhong Hui to his side and gave him a secret technique of calligraphy.  And he told his son the story of his hard work.  He spent more than thirty years of his life focusing on learning calligraphy.

    ?Mainly mastered the essentials of writing from Cai Yong¡¯s calligraphy skills.  In the learning process, it does not matter day or night, no matter the occasion or location.  Write when you have time and practice when you have the chance.  Sit with people and talk, and practice on the ground around you.

    When I rest at night, I use the quilt as paper.  As a result, over time, a big hole was made in the quilt.  When you see flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds, animals and other natural scenery, you will associate it with the brushwork. Sometimes you go to the toilet and forget to come back.

    This shows that Zhong Yao¡¯s calligraphy art is indeed the result of his diligent study and practice.  Decades of hard practice have made Zhong Yao a famous master in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

    He and Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty were collectively called "Zhong Zhang".  He was also called the "Zhong Wang" together with the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.  He learned from Cao Xi, Cai Yong, Liu Desheng, etc., learned from the strengths of others, and excelled in all styles.  Especially regular script.

    He is the ancestor of Chinese calligraphy and history.  He was the first in the history of calligraphy to establish regular script and made important contributions to the development of Chinese characters.

    At this moment, Zhong Yao's exclamation surprised Emperor Xian and others.  Governor General Shi, what a noble position that is.  Compared to the Governor-General's Palace, the Long History is simply equivalent to the position of Prime Minister of a country.

    But who would have thought that such an important talent would actually come from a subordinate of the somewhat down-and-out Confucius in front of him.

    Servant Han Rong was so excited that his pale beard began to tremble.  He spoke with some difficulty: "Kong Wenju, what you said is true! Don't commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and ruin your reputation as a virtuous person that has been passed down for hundreds of years by the Kong family!"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? It would be understandable to say that a Cavalry Captain is of low origin.  But it is really incredible that a talent like Shi, the governor-general, would be let go by Kong Rong in vain.

    Kong Rong previously claimed to everyone that Sun Shao had talents in Langmiao, which proved that Kong Rong recognized Sun Shao's talents.

    But he did not retain such talents, and now he has joined the Jiangnan Army.  He became a high-ranking official in the south of the Yangtze River, taking charge of most of the people's livelihood matters in the world.  Is it because Sun Ce is too good at employing people, or is the ambitious Kong Rong in front of him too incompetent?

    Seeing the strange expressions on everyone¡¯s faces, Kong Rong felt a little confused.  Don't know what I said wrong.  After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure it out and just threw out my last and biggest trump card.

    "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the loyal and filial Donglai Taishi Ci? When Taishi Ziyi was in exile, I sent a special person to take good care of his widowed old mother, so I have some old friends with you.  .

    The ministers heard that Shiyi said that Ziyi was now ranked as the general of the auxiliary country in the Jiangnan army.  He and Sun Ce, the governor of Jiangnan, took charge of a part of the Jiangnan Army's cavalry.  The Jiangnan Army had more than 10,000 cavalry, and he alone commanded 5,000.

    In the Jiangnan Army, he was the only general besides Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.  He is the only general who controls a standing army. It is said that even the veteran generals who followed Sun Ce's father did not have ready-made troops in their hands.

    It can be seen how important his position is in the Jiangnan Army.  Back then, my subordinates knew that Ziyi was a talented general, and now he has indeed become a great general.  It's just a pity that our Beihai City soldiers were weak back then and couldn't retain a great talent like Ziyi!  "

    Speaking of this, Kong Rong looked regretful.  He complained in his heart: "If Ziyi had been left behind, how could Beihai have fallen? It was captured by Yuan Tan, a villain who succeeded, but Wu Anguo was cut off by Lu Bu and could no longer go to war.

    There are no generals in Beihai. I, Kong Rong, can¡¯t even save my wife and daughter!  Alas, I don¡¯t know what happened to them if they fell into the hands of that little beast Yuan Tan!  Alas, I heard that the boy from the Yuan family is not very good in character!  "

    Thinking of this, Kong Rong felt a sudden and inexplicable pain in his heart.  The foreseeable tragic fate of his wife and daughter, coupled with his current helplessness, made the savior of the court who was so high-spirited just now suddenly feel like crying.

    But suddenly he heard that Taishi Ci, the three giants of the Jiangnan Army, might also be persuaded by Kong Rong to surrender.  Such shocking news plunged Emperor Xian and his ministers into ecstasy, and no one noticed Kong Rong's sudden change in expression.

    "Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Zi Yi! I heard that he was once a subordinate of the current Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yao. If we can get his help, I'm afraid that taking down the Jiangnan Army will be out of the question. He has the power in his hands.  He¡¯s holding half of the Jiangnan Army¡¯s cavalry!¡±

    When Taishi Ci, as Zhang's support force, rushed to Luoyang to welcome Emperor Xian,??I have met Emperor Xian and his ministers.  Moreover, Emperor Xian took a fancy to the heroic and majestic Taishi Ci at a glance, and immediately wanted to use the reward of a high-ranking official and generous salary to win Taishi Ci into his subordinates.

    But in the end, Taishi Ci rejected it without hesitation.  After Xian Di, he became furious with Tai Shi Ci's rebellion.  However, after some persuasion by Dong Cheng and others, Emperor Xian finally understood something.

    At first, the two sides were not familiar with each other.  Secondly, Taishi Ci was somewhat dismissive of the imperial court's empty-promise rewards.  He is a general of the Jiangnan Army, seeking rewards that may or may not be obtained.

    Just betray Jiangnan Army, the price would be too high.  It is not surprising that he refused the official title of Emperor Xian.

    At this moment, Kong Rong's complaining words made Emperor Xian and others feel sympathy for the Prime Minister of Beihai who had lost his territory and abandoned his wife and daughter.

    ¡°It¡¯s not that Kong Wenju was incompetent, it¡¯s just that Beihai, like today¡¯s imperial court, is a weak group that cannot retain talented people!¡±

    Everyone finally understood.  Beihai is indeed a land of talented people, whether they are scholars or warriors, there are many talented people.  It's just that in today's world, how can a truly talented person be willing to let his amazing talents be buried in a county?

    Similarly, people with foresight such as Tai Shici would not serve the emperor when the court did not even have a foothold.  Could it be that with the emperor, we were being hunted down by warlords everywhere in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, like a bereaved dog, and we could only accompany the emperor to escape?

    But now it is different. The imperial court has completely stabilized.  Coupled with the recommendation of Kong Rong, the former lord, Emperor Xian was very likely to attract these important talents from the Jiangnan Army as long as he promised corresponding and suitable official positions.

    They had already betrayed many times before they were able to abandon Beihai and join other forces, and finally joined the Jiangnan Army.  So this time, as long as there are enough benefits, it is entirely possible for them to change their camp again.

    At this moment, the happy and confident Emperor Xian and his ministers all believed that no matter who they were, everyone had a corresponding price.  As long as the court is willing to pay, even the most loyal subjects will change!
