The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 5 Chapter 7: Handan Mo on September Autumn (7)

Zhao Yun calmly and unhurriedly saluted without being humble or arrogant and said, "I'm under Zhao Yun, I don't know who you are?"

In the fence courtyard, the tall pear trees are full of fruits, luxuriant branches and leaves, and clusters of pear blossoms. www_dyzw8_m/None+Bounce+Window+Small+Speaking+Net/Under the tree, a majestic and handsome young man in black clothes and curly hair presses his sword and his eyes are like stars. Beside him, a straw mat was spread out on the ground, a roll of bamboo slips was placed on it, and the flowers were falling.

Witnessing this person's scene, everyone outside the hospital was dazzled, and they had not yet talked to Zhao Yun, and they were already fond of him.

Before seeing Zhao Yunqian, Xun You heard all kinds of stories about him, thinking that he would be in his twenties if he didn’t say anything, but he didn’t care that he was only seventeen or eighteen, and he had not yet been crowned. Respectful and brave, I just heard about his reading and heard him praise Zhao Dun first and then depreciate him, but he has clear love and hatred, fair and loyal, both virtue and beauty, he is a young hero."

Xin Ai was originally standing behind Xun Zhen, but now he took a half-step forward so that he could see Zhao Yun's appearance clearly, and then focused on the bamboo slips on the table, thinking: "I heard Yan Meng say that he was riding and shooting, In the thief army, there were two entrances and two exits, and no one could stop him. I thought he was a strong and strong man like Dian Wei, but he didn't expect him to be handsome and knowledgeable. He didn't look like a warrior, but a scholar. "

Xuankang blinked, looked up and down, looked at Zhao Yun carefully, and thought: "This boy is really tall, no wonder he was able to enter two places in the bandit army despite his young age, and he is famous in Changshan." He was not a few years older than Zhao Yun, but As Xun Zhen accompanied him all the year round, he had been to many places, and his eyes widened. Facing Zhao Yun, an uncrowned young man, he seemed to think of himself as an elder.

Among Xun Zhen people, Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xin A, and Xuan Kang all know books, but only Dian Wei is a pure warrior with a simple mind, and he doesn't have so many ideas. His desire to win is not at all interested in whether Zhao Yun is benevolent and respectful. He only wants to see Zhao Yun's skills in riding, arching, spear and sword. Said: "This Zhao Yun is a teenager?" Glancing at the bamboo slips on the mat, he thought to himself, "It's still elegant and can read?" This was not in line with the image of a warrior in his mind. He turned to look at Yan Meng, doubting Yan Meng. The things said on the road are lies.

Yan Meng pushed open the fence gate and said to Zhao Yun with a smile on his face: "Brother, these people said they came from Yuzhou and came to visit you specially!"

"Are you from Yuzhou? Are you visiting?"

"In Xiaying n Xunzhen, it is true that Yuzhou people are not fake, but they are not from Yuzhou, but from Xiaquyang."

Zhao Yun was surprised and said, "Master Ying n Xun?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "What? Zhao Jun has heard my name?"

"Dare to ask, but is it that Xun Sima who is under General Huangfu's account?" Xun Zhen has made great achievements in battle, and of course Zhao Yun has heard his name.

"Exactly."

Xuankang interjected, "It's not Sima anymore. The imperial court issued a decree to appoint Xun Jun as Lieutenant of Zhao State."

"I don't know if your honorable person is here, Yun is disrespectful." Zhao Yun picked up his clothes and paid his respects.

Xun Zhen rushed into the hospital, grabbed him and said with a smile, "It's only Ying n Xun Zhen who is here today, and there is no Lieutenant of Zhao State."

He looked back and called Xun You to come in, and introduced to Zhao Yun, "This is my nephew Xun You, this is Chen Liudianwei, and this is my villager Xuan Kang." Finally, he introduced Xin A, and said with a smile, "This is Yingjie from my county. , Yang Zhai Xin Ai."

Among Xun You, Dian Wei, Xuankang, and Xin Ai, Xuankang is the least famous. Xun You is very famous in Yingchuan, but few people know him in Jizhou. In contrast, he is now the most famous in Jizhou. It was Dian Wei and Xin Ai.

Dian Wei is a fierce general, he beheaded the generals, slashed the flag, defeated the enemy and fell into battle, not to mention his achievements in Runan and Dongjun, but killing the Zhangba Zuobao in the battle of Guangzong was enough to make him famous, and Xin Ai didn't need to mention it. Said that after chasing Zhang Jiao, he is now even more famous than Dian Wei.

Zhao Yunji was pleasantly surprised, and said, "I have long admired Xun Jun's valiant and military name, and I have heard for a long time that Xin Jun and Dian Jun are brave and majestic, all the monarchs are here, and Chaimen has a celebration." In addition to the surprise, he secretly wondered, and said to himself, "Xun Jun is the noble of the imperial court. Officials, heroes of pacifying thieves, and two monarchs Xin and Dian are also famous in Jizhou, I’m just a white boy and I don’t know them, so why does Xiaoxiong say they came to me?” Although he is young, he is precocious and calm. , Although he was suspicious, he didn't show it, and politely invited Xun Zhen and the others to sit in the room.

Xun Zhen looked up at the pear blossoms, and turned to the courtyard. The courtyard was neatly tidy and clean, except for the fallen flowers, there were no sundries on the ground. He smiled and said: "In mid-autumn, when the pear blossoms in the Jun family's house are in bloom, this is really rare. With such a beautiful scenery in the courtyard, why go to sit in the house?"

Xun Zhen has served as a high-ranking official in the county in the past few years. In the past six months, he has led thousands of troops from Huangfu Song to fight in the various states. With a hint of majesty, people can't help but obey. Although Zhao Yun is precocious and has seen the world, after all, he is not as good as Xun Zhen. Hearing what he said, he immediately agreed to put away the scrolls on the mat and asked Yan Meng to help. The two went to the house to get a few more mats. Come out, put it under the pear tree, and invite Xun Zhen and others to take a seat.

Xun Zhen and others were the guests, in the west, Zhao Yun was the host, in the east, and everyone was divided into guests and hosts. Yan Meng counted as half the master and sat next to Zhao Yun. After kneeling down and sitting down, Xun Zhen said in her heart, "Zhao Yun and I are seeing each other for the first time, so it's not good to ask for it directly."

The reason he came to Zhao Yun was to recruit Zhao Yun. After seeing Zhao Yun, he became more eager to recruit Zhao Yun. He was determined to win, but the more determined he was to win, the more careful and thoughtful he was, and he should not be rude.

He thought: "I just listened to Zhao Yun's reading, and while he was reading, he commented, praised or criticized. He was well-founded. Obviously, he was a very assertive person, and he should not be regarded by ordinary young people. I can't expect to see him just once. When he recruited him, he had to be prepared for a protracted war. . . . Anyway, I was appointed by the court as a lieutenant of Zhao State, Zhao State is not far from Changshan State, and there will be opportunities in the future.”

The plan was finalized, he knew what he had in mind, and he did not mention his intentions for now. While admiring the pear tree, he laughed and chatted with Zhao Yun, and said, "I heard that pears are produced in your county when I was in Yingchuan, and Changshan pears are famous all over the world. Entering Gui County, there are many pear trees along the way, almost all townships and villages, and every family grows them. In Zhending, Xiaoxiong took a few pears to share with us, and it really is crispy, sweet and juicy, and it lives up to its reputation."

Xun You asked with a smile: "This pear tree in Zhao Jun's courtyard is so majestic and tall, I'm afraid it is a few years old?"

"This courtyard is the old residence of my ancestors. Before I moved to Zhending, my ancestors lived here for generations. I don't know when this pear tree was planted. I only heard from my grandfather when I was a child that when my grandfather was young, this tree was planted. already at."

"how old are you?"

"Yun was born in Yanxi for ten years, and is eighteen this year."

This year is the seventh year of Guanghe, and the tenth year of Yanxi is seventeen years ago. Because a fetus in the womb for ten months is almost a year, so the ancients calculated the age in fictitious years, and it was one year old when it landed.

Xun You smiled and said: "On the way here, I heard Xiao Xiong say that Jun is very brave and martial. He tried two entries and two exits in the Yellow Turban Army. No one could stop him.

Zhao Yun said humbly: "The Yellow Turbans were originally a rabble crowd, and when they first arrived, the army was not lined up, the ranks were untidy and chaotic, not so much as nearly ten thousand thieves, but thousands of refugees, wearing armor and riding fast horses. , and accompanied by heroes from more than ten counties, this is how he was able to enter and exit the army twice. Anyone can do such a thing, how dare he be praised by the word hero?"

closure

Xun You fought with Xun Zhen and the Yellow Turbans for half a year. He knew the situation of the Yellow Turbans very well, and knew that Zhao Yun was telling the truth, but even so, with 10,000 people and boundless boundaries, even if the Yellow Turbans were not strictly disciplined and formed irregularly. At that time, there were nearly 10,000 people. As Yan Meng said, "the officials and people in the city trembled." However, Zhao Yun was the only one who was not afraid.

Seeing Zhao Yun being so modest, Xun You secretly praised him and said to himself, "If an ordinary young man had done such a feat, he would have been bragging long ago, but this Zhao Yun is modest and prudent, not arrogant or aggressive, just like a modest gentleman,... but he is better than the one under Liu Bei. Guan Yu is too strong."

Xun Zhen and Liu Bei met, and they looked at Guan and Zhang Yi with blue eyes. This kind of thing fell into the eyes of Xun Zhen's people. Although they didn't say much, they also had their own thoughts. Xun You and Xi Zhicai have said several times in private, that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are nothing more than that, Liu Bei is naturally popular, Zhang Fei is respectful and courteous to scholars, only Guan Yu, and every time he is mentioned, the two of them will say it at the same time. "This person is just fine" four words.

Guan Yu is indeed a capable person, and he does have the capital that is justified, but the capital is the capital. At least in Xun You's eyes at this time, Guan Yu was not as pleasing to the eye as Zhao Yun.

Xun Zhen didn't know what Xun You was thinking, so she smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Zhao Jun is so humble, it's not like we have never fought with the Yellow Turbans, where we fought, where corpses were erected, where strong enemies besiege cities, where there are too many enemies and few others. Reinforce your troops, if you lose, you will die in battle. At this moment, those who are not brave will not dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight back! Although you are young, your future generations are formidable."

"This little thing of mine is nothing compared to the achievements of Jun Yuxin and Dian Erjun from General Huangfu to pacify several states and chase down Zhang Jiao!"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "I just heard that Jun was reading Zuo Zhuan outside the courtyard, and Jun seemed to disagree that Zhao Dun did not kill Zhao Chuan, and Confucius said: 'Zhao Xuanzi, a good doctor in ancient times, suffered evil for the sake of the law. It's a pity, Crossing the border is free. I wonder how you understand Confucius' words?"

Xunzhen's old words were repeated, and Zhao Yun replied without hesitation: "Mencius said: 'Confucius wrote the "Autumn", and the chaotic ministers and thieves are afraid'. Confucius hated the chaotic ministers and thieves, how could he say this praise for the monarch? It should be sarcastic."

"ridicule?"

"Since ancient times, the power has treacherous and treacherous, and there has never been a person who does not leave his hands to his confidants. Zhao Chuan is also Zhao Dun's minions. When Zhao Dun is not dead, Zhao Chuan will not kill Jin Linggong. As soon as Zhao Dun died, Zhao Chuan He just killed Jin Linggong. Could it be such a coincidence? This must be because Zhao Dun did not fall for the notorious reputation of murdering the king, so he instructed Zhao Chuan to kill the king but pretended to flee. Therefore, Confucius said: 'Crossing the border is free ', is actually mocking Zhao Dun for fleeing but not crossing the border, and Duke Wen Ling returned immediately after being killed."

"What you said is all speculation, and it is not enough."

"No. I have proof."

"Where's the evidence?"

"The "Autumn" records this matter: 'Autumn, September, Yi Chou, Jin Zhao Dun killed his lord Yigao'. If Confucius really praised Zhao Dun, why would he be recorded in the "Autumn" for killing the king?"

"As Confucius said: 'Crossing the border is free', if Zhao Dun escaped from the border, then the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers would be absolute, and he would not have to bear the notoriety of murdering the monarch, but he did not escape the border, so Confucius remembered him as 'killing him' Jun'. 'Killing the lord' is because 'the death does not cross the border, but the thief will not be punished', but it is not because he has the heart to kill the lord! 'The gentleman's original heart, pardoning but not punishing' is the righteousness of this autumn. Zhao Jun did not Have you read "Autumn Fan Dew"? Dong Zhongshu said: "Poetry" says: 'Others have intentions, I will consider them'. This case shields things and observes their hearts, Zhao Dun has expectations and does not use violence, and gets along with others in harmony Having won everyone's trust, he doesn't look like someone who is plotting to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, so I always think he has no idea of ​​​​killing the monarch...., Zhao Jun, Confucius's words are not sarcasm, but I feel for Zhao Dun regret."

Dong Zhongshu was a great Confucian in the previous dynasty and was called Confucius in the Han Dynasty by later generations. It was at his initiative that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the policy of "dismissing a hundred schools of thought and respecting only Confucianism". "Autumn Fan Dew" is his interpretation of "Autumn". .

Zhao Yun is only eighteen this year, and he has just completed intermediate textbooks such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Er Ya" and "The Classic of Filial Piety" two years ago. He was stunned, and said, "Yun does not agree with what Dong's said." After a pause, he said, "Even if you take a step back, Zhao Dun does not have the heart to kill the monarch, but he is a powerful minister, Duke Ling of Jin. It's a monarch, it should be easy to kill a minister, but he can't be killed. Even Duke Ling's guard, Ling Zhuo, turned to help him. It can be seen that the Zhao clan is strong, and the minister is strong and the minister is weak. This is not for the minister. Dao, from this point alone, Yun thought that saying that Zhao Dun 'killed the king' would not be wronged him."

Xuankang couldn't help but speak, he said: "I just heard you read 'Jin Linggong is not a monarch' outside the hospital and you said 'A ruler is not a ruler, it is a sign of the country's destruction', and later he said 'Linggong is not a monarch'. Tyranny and no way', Duke Ling has no way, the people hang upside down, Zhao Dun loves the people and supports the people, Confucius therefore said that he was a good doctor of the ancients. Huo Guang has done similar things, isn't this enough to prove that he doesn't have the heart to kill the king?"

Zhao Yun said sternly, "Have Duke Zhou and Huo Guang ever murdered a monarch? The monarch is not benevolent, it is not a wise monarch, and the minister is not inferior, and it is not the way to be a minister."

"You quoted Mencius just now. Mencius also said that 'the people are the most valuable, the government is second, and the ruler is light'. Although Zhao Dun is a strong minister, he loves the people. The monarch is like a heart; the monarch treats his ministers like a mustard, and the ministers treat the monarch as an enemy. Duke Ling of Jin was not benevolent. He killed Zhao Dun several times and regarded Zhao Dun as his hatred. I don’t want to kill the monarch, and after returning to the capital, I immediately sent someone to welcome the new monarch. Love the people and abide by the way of the minister, how can you say that he is not inferior?”

"The benevolent loves others, and the ruler must cherish the common people. If the ruler has no way, then the minister should try his best to persuade him, but how can 'death do not cross the border, but do not seek thieves'? It is because of Zhao Shield has a good reputation, so he should be more 'chasing thieves'. If he does thieves, he will naturally wash away the notoriety of killing lords. The problem is that he does not chasing thieves. If all the ministers in the world are like him, then There will be a situation in which the ruler is not the ruler, the minister is not the minister, and even the father is not the father, and the son is not the son. If this situation really occurs, the ritual and music will collapse. The states will fight, and the people will suffer!"

Having said this, Xun Zhen understood Zhao Yun's point of view in general, and he insisted that Zhao Dun murdered the monarch for nothing else, but for the ethics of the monarch, his subjects, and his ministers. This may seem ridiculous in later generations, but in this era and for a long time to come, this view is the mainstream. What is a monarch, a minister, a minister? The ruler is the ruler, and the minister is the minister. In other words, it is the system and order of the society. Only those who serve as rulers abide by the way of the king, and those who are ministers abide by the way of ministers, can this society be stable and there will be no major chaos.

In fact, even in the era when Xun Zhen came, there was still a general ethics of monarch, monarch, subject and minister, but it was replaced by a simple and direct statement: "The state is a tool for the ruling class to exercise class rule."

Xuankang has been around Xun Zhen all the year round. He was young and had not yet formed the Three Views. He worshipped Xun Zhen, so he would inevitably be influenced by the thoughts that Xun Zhen brought from later generations. He agreed with Mencius's statement that "the people are precious and the ruler is light", so he had a different view from Zhao Yun on the matter of "Zhao Dun killed the ruler", and even compared Zhao Dun to Duke Zhou and Huo Guang.

However, although he differed from Zhao Yun's point of view, he was speechless after hearing Zhao Yun speak of "the monarch, the monarch and the ministers".

Xuankang and Zhao Yun argue with each other. Dian Wei did not understand the scriptures, did not understand, and did not listen. He raised his halberd and pressed his sword, and stood behind Xun Zhen respectfully, earnestly guarding Xun Zhen. Xin Ai was not very interested in scriptures, so he lay comfortably on his side on the mat, with his hands resting on his head, enjoying the fragrance of the countryside, sometimes watching pear blossoms, sometimes looking forward to the villagers passing by outside the courtyard, and sometimes looking at Zhao Yun. Xun Zhen and Xun You smiled at each other.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "I came to see the general Zhao Yun today, but unexpectedly I saw Zhao Yun, a Confucian scholar." Through the argument between Zhao Yun and Xuankang, he understood more about Zhao Yun's character. Loyalty is an advantage, especially in troubled times. on the occasion. He said to Zhao Yun, "The ruler is upright in nature, Mushang is righteous, a man of excellence in Changshan, and a hero in Jizhou. I wonder if you can hold a post in the county?"

"No job."

"You are a talented person and have lived in the countryside for a long time. Isn't it a pity? Now in Xinding, Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Party still exists, and the people are eager to be appeased. It is when the wise and capable men are needed to come out of the mountains to help the emperor to help the sea and stabilize the Quartet. Come to my Zhao country?"

"Go to Zhao State?"

"I'll tell you the truth~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I'm an immoral and incompetent person. I was lucky enough to make a small contribution, and I was not abandoned by the court. I was promoted to lieutenant of the State of Zhao. It's not good, I have failed the trust of the court, I was in Xia Quyang earlier, I heard your name from the captives of the Yellow Turbans, and they all said that you are loyal and brave, so I came here because of your name, hoping to get your help."

1. Changshan pear.

Lu Yu's "Jizhou Lun": "Changshan is the forest, the mainland is the marsh, the reeds and the mica mats, the apricots in the Wei County, the pears in the Changshan, the cotton in the houses, the rice in the Hanoi, the rice in the Zhending, the chestnuts in the Zhongshan, and the real estate. Not for nothing."

2, Zhao Yun.

Judging from his heart, Zhao Yun was not the top figure in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty. In Liu Bei's group, his bravery, achievements, and status were not as good as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong. When Guan Zhang Mahuang was the front, right, left, and rear generals, he was only a miscellaneous general, but he was by no means mediocre. However, he is profoundly righteous, loyal, upright and dare to advise, impartial and selfless, modest and prudent, with virtues that Guan Zhang Ma Huang cannot reach.
