The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

[Just enough for one hundred and fifty votes, this is the first update. The second one will probably be a little later]

In any case, Du Mai is also a "hometown official" and Xun Zhenxi's deputy in Fanyangting, and although this person has many problems, because he has done "begging for theft", he still has some courage. , stronger than ordinary people, give him the position of lieutenant history, no one will say anything, but the Fan Tan and Fan Shang brothers are not. Talent, if he was appointed as a lieutenant's government official, he would definitely attract criticism, saying that Xun Zhen's employment was unknown.

Therefore, Xun Zhen did not appoint the two of them any positions, and after asking them whether they wanted to stay, he just ordered two swords, two plates of golden cakes, and ten pieces of silk and silk to be given to them, and ordered the officials of the government. In the guest house of the lieutenant's mansion, two rooms were cleaned out for them to live in, but they were supposed to be raised as guests.

Although the brothers Fan Tan and Fan Shang did not get official positions, their eyelids were originally shallow and they had little ambition. When they were in Fanyang Pavilion, they were stingy and greedy for money. Let them both smile and kowtow again and again to thank them.

As evening approached, Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Xin Ai, Liu Deng, Chen Dao, Yuan Pan, and others who were not at night all came.

Xu Zhong and Xu Ji brothers met and had a lot to say.

Jiang Qin, Xin Ai, Liu Deng, Chen Dao, Gao Jia, Gao Bing, Su Ze, Su Zheng, Yuan Pan, Shi Juxian, etc. met with Chen Bao, Gao Su, Wen Ping, etc., and the conversation continued. Qin and others boasted of their exploits in fighting the yellow turban, the left whiskers and the yellow beard, or Gao Su boasted of his majesty among the soldiers of Yingchuan County, or Jiang Qin and others asked Gao Su and Chen Bao about the situation in their hometown.

Most of them are from Yingyin Xixiang, and when they talk about their hometown, Jiang Qin and others all feel homesick.

Chen Bao and Xun Cheng were better, at least they went home, Jiang Qin, Xin Ai, Liu Deng and others followed Xun Zhen out of Yingchuan, but they went back and forth, getting further and further away from home. , Like Xun Zhen, she has not returned home for nearly a year. Even in the future where transportation is convenient, if she does not return home for nearly a year, she will miss her hometown even if she is away from others. the moment?

As soon as the homesickness strikes, it is like spring grass, which is unstoppable, and like summer willows, always plucking the heartstrings.

Xun You, who was sitting beside Xun Zhen, was the first to notice the changes in the places where Jiang Qin and the others were sitting together, and found that they had changed from laughing and bragging about just being talented to thinking quietly and talking less.

Xun You is delicate and sensitive, just like when he noticed the homesickness of Xuankang, Dian Wei and others at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain in Bairen County earlier, and now he also immediately guessed that it must be Jiang Qin and others who have raised their homesickness, he coughed, Signaling Xin Ai to come over, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Xin Ai nodded yes, stepped into the hall, clapped his hands, waited for the hall to calm down, and said, "Zhongren and A Bao have returned, and Zhongye, Zixiu, and Youjie have also come, and you are not only the lieutenants. The old friends, and when they were in Xixiang in the past, all the monarchs were old friends. Although they were not the same surname, they were in love with each other, but they were like brothers and sisters. The song said: 'Knowing each other, why should we kiss each other', when this meeting is held, there must be no song. A month ago, the lieutenant Weifu traveled to Xingxian County, and traveled to Yaoshan Mountain, and composed a song, which was passed on to the army, and made the athletes dance and sing.

"Songshi" is the name of the Han people for Yuefu poetry.

Xin Ai is proficient in rhythm, and can sing and dance well. Hearing that he recommended himself and was willing to sing, everyone responded with a bang.

Xin Ainai turned around and said to Xun Zhen, "Singing is a must, please give me an instrument from the lieutenant."

Xun Zhen smiled and asked, "What kind of accompaniment does Yulang want to accompany?"

"build."

"Building" has been lost in later generations. In appearance, this musical instrument is similar to the qin and zither. Both are long and have strings. Unlike the qin and zither, this instrument is not plucked or played Instead, the strings are struck with objects such as bamboo pieces, which are more poignant and agitated in tone than those of the zither and zither. Under the subdivision, buildings are divided into three categories, there are Chu buildings originating from Chu, Yuezhu originating from Yuedi, and northern buildings prevailing in the north. The three types of buildings have different shapes and sizes. The shape of the building in the north is the largest, and the tone is also the most agitated. Jing Ke Li Yan stabbed Qin, and on the banks of the Yishui River, Gao Jianli attacked the building in the north, so that "all the soldiers are angry, and the crown of their fingers is full." Building, "generous sadness, weeping for a few lines".

Xin Ai was a native of the North, and he sang at this time in order to arouse the generous feelings of the homesick people, so as to eliminate their homesickness, so of course, what he asked Xunzhen for could only be the building in the northern land with the most agitated tone.

Xun Zhen's daily food and daily life are relatively simple, and he rarely listens to singing and dancing, but after all, he is a lieutenant of Erqianshi, and such common musical instruments are available in the house, so he passed the order and ordered him to stand outside the hall. Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing and others sent people to take Zhulai.

Soon, the music girl was called to the hall and bowed down to the building.

The shape of Chu Zhu is a big head and a thin neck. When playing, one end touches the ground. The performer holds the narrow neck with one hand so that one end is off the ground and forms a small angle with the ground. . The shape of the Yuezhu resembles a zither. When playing, the performer lays it almost flat in front of him, plucks the strings with one hand, and strikes the strings with bamboo pieces in the other.

The building in the north is different from the building in Chu and Yue. It looks like a piano. When playing, the player will hold the building almost vertically, hold the building or the lower end with one hand, lean the other end of the building on the shoulder, and use the other hand to hold the building. Bamboo pieces and other objects strike the strings.

Xin Ai took Zhu Zhi in his hands, so he sat on the ground in the hall, with his back to Xun Zhen, facing the falling snow outside the hall, holding Zhu Zhi in his arms, holding the building body in his left hand, and a bamboo slice in his right hand, first closing his eyes and brewing After a moment of emotion, the bamboo slices tap, and the strings sound.

There were twenty or thirty people in the hall, no one spoke, all were silent, all staring at him.

The sound of the string is gentle at first, like a light wind passing through a pond, and then turns rapidly, like a cold wind sweeping through the mountains and forests. The pavilion is dyed like ink, the trees on the edge of the road are sparse, and a man with a high crown and black clothes is walking alone by his sword. .

The music girl who came to see Zhu was originally bowing her head and bowing in the hall outside the hall. As Xin Ai's music gradually became more and more excited, she raised her head unconsciously, and at first she was full of admiration, admiring Xin Ai's attack. The building skills are brilliant, seeing Xin Ai as beautiful as a woman, but with her own generosity in her. In the drowsy hall of Mu Xue, he is like a morning glow, but he is fascinated without realizing it, and his eyes are full of admiration.

Xin Ai sang aloud and said: "Elegy can be used as a weeping song, and a distant view can be used as angelica. I miss my hometown, and I am depressed. In the past, I left home, Yangliu Yiyi, now I am running north, and the fallen leaves are faint. I abandoned my body to go to a national disaster. With a sharp edge, seeing death is like returning home!"

The singing is clear and clear, lined with falling snow, like a cold spring, piercing the heart and spleen of people.

Xu Zhong took the lead in attacking the case, and agreed with him.

Although Chen Bao heard this song for the first time, he reacted quickly and immediately understood Xun You's intention to ask Xin Ai to sing this song, and followed suit. Jiang Qin, Chen Dao, Liu Deng, Xun Cheng, Gao Su, Wen Pin, Xu Fu, etc. also joined in harmony.

There are not only Xu Zhong, Chen Bao and other old Yingchuan people from Xunzhen, but also people from Jizhou such as Handan Rong, Cheng Jia, Lu Guang, Xia Houlan, Cen Rong, Chen Wu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong. , Yellow Turbans descended generals such as Li Xiang and He Yi, who had just recovered from his injuries, were also there.

The people gathered in different positions according to their location and relatives.

At this time, the literati and military officials who were born in Yingchuan sang songs, and the rest of the people watched and listened to it, and their perceptions and thoughts were different.

Handan Rong said in his heart: "I have heard for a long time that Ru, Yingduoqi, Yingchuan is worthy of being a famous county of my Han family, and it produces many heroes. Generosity, loyalty and bravery are like the princes and nobles."

He had a desire to fight for strength, and thought: "Compared to Zhicai and Junqing, I, Junchang and Zigongxiao were originally late lieutenants, and in terms of talent, they are not stronger than them. Although I was lucky enough to get the lieutenant’s trustworthiness due to the favorable geographical location, if we want to avoid losing this trustworthiness, we still need to work hard!” I couldn’t help but think of the powerful Yang Clan. "One thing" did not end, that is, he boasted to Xun Zhen that he wanted to present the rouge red horse of the Yang family to Xun Zhen, and then he thought to himself, "I am under the order of the lieutenant to raise food for a county, only in Yang It is really hateful that the family has not obtained grains of grain! I swear to destroy this family and get a good horse for the lieutenant!"

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, but he thought of a way to clean up the Yang family. He looked at the hall, the singing was not over, this was not the time to offer advice to Xun Zhen, he thought: "Let's wait for the evening banquet, I'll discuss this with the lieutenant."

Cheng Jia, Lu Guang, Xia Houlan, Cen Rong, Chen Wu, etc. also have their own feelings.

Li Xiang and He Yi were the defeated generals of Xu Zhong and Jiang Qin, and they had known Xu Zhong and Jiang Qin earlier.

Li Xiang regretted that he was not a native of Yingchuan and had not been able to get to know Xun Zhen early. If he could get to know Xun Zhen early, maybe he would not be a descendant today. However, although he was a general, Xun Zhen used people with clear rewards and punishments, and did not protect his old friends. He knew that he might never be as close to Xun Zhen as Xu Zhong and Chen Bao, but only by his own ability He was satisfied with Xun Zhen's reuse.

After He Yi surrendered Xunzhen, he felt that he was a surrendered general. He was one head lower than Xu Zhong, Chen Bao, Jiang Qin, etc. He was usually taciturn in the army, and because his status in the Yellow Turban Army was far higher than that of Li Xiang before his surrender, he was a Fang Qu Shuai, inevitably suspicious, always felt that Xun Zhen would one day attack him and purge him from the army until the battle against Huang Beard, where he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but Xun Zhen sent someone down the mountain to rescue him. After he was done, his doubts were all gone, and he was determined to give his life for Xun Zhen. At this time, listening to the song in the hall, he only wanted to appreciate it, but had no other ideas.

Liu Bei's feelings are very rich, he is envious of Xun Zhen's talented people, and lamented that Xun Zhen treats people with generosity.

I envy Xun Zhen's subordinates who are full of talents and say what he saw in the hall. He lamented that Xun Zhen treated others for his generosity. What Xun Zhen said was that before Xun Zhen used Du Mai as a lieutenant history, he also rewarded the brothers Fan Tan and Fan Shang generously.

Although Liu Bei is young now, he can be a small tyrant in Zhuo County, and can make friends with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong, but he also has some ability in the future when it comes to knowing people. Tan, Fan Shang, and Du Mai may still have some courage. The Fan brothers are completely two country villains, but Xun Zhen has the honor of two thousand stones, but he does not despise the three of them, except for Du Mai. For the lieutenant's history, he generously gave wealth and goods to the fans of the Fan family. If nothing else, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people to remember the old benevolence.

Liu Bei thought: "These days, I often hear the officials and servants of the lieutenant's mansion praising my elder brother, saying that although my elder brother is strict with his subordinates, he is extremely lenient in small matters and small sections. Looking at it now, it is not false. The matter of buying and giving generously to the Fanjia brothers will soon spread outside the house, and the counties and counties know that, apart from being good at fighting, brave and brave, the elder brother will gain the reputation of being reminiscent of the old and benevolent again!"

Liu Bei's guess was correct. Except when Xun Zhen used Du Mai and Husui Fanjia brothers, there were many people present in the hall, and there were also many government officials and servants waiting outside the hall. At the latest tomorrow, this matter will definitely be reported. In Handan County, it won't take long for it to spread throughout the county and even in the prefecture. Since Xun Zhen took office in Zhao County, he was mostly famous for his military exploits, and he was only a warrior if he continued his military exploits. Fan family brothers, in the name of inviting old benevolence.

Open-hearted corporal, reminiscence of old benevolence, these are the virtues praised by scholars.

After singing in the hall, Xin Ai still built and returned to the seat.

After this song of his grief and excitement, the homesickness of Jiang Qin, Liu Deng and others was swept away, and the atmosphere in the hall became cheerful again.

The snow fell and the dusk was deep, and the candle wax was lit in the hall, as bright as day.

Seeing that the night was approaching, Xun Zhen passed on the words, singing and dancing girls came in a team, lined up in the hall, drums sang and danced, the maids wore hairpins, embroidered clothes and beautiful skirts, and fished into the hall, as if the food and wine were flowing. The end is presented.

That night, Xun Zhen personally poured wine to Chen Bao and Xun Cheng who had returned, and personally brought wine to Gao Su, Wenpin, etc., who had been away after a long time, and then dragged Lieutenant Gong Cao Liu Bei and Lieutenant Chief Handan Rong Rong to the dance hall to enjoy themselves. Happy drinking, most of the people at the banquet are very drunk.

Xun Zhen thought about Chen Zhi and Tang Er in his heart. He didn't drink too much. When the dinner was over, he ordered Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, and Zuo Bohou, who had been standing in the wind and snow in the corridor of the guards, to send their own soldiers and send them to the escort. Everyone who was drunk went to the guest house to rest. The Han system had a curfew after nightfall, and they could not travel at night without official documents.

After arranging these things, Xun Zhen went along the east of the corridor to the backyard under the guard of Dian Wei and others.

The front hall was quite far away from the backyard, and the corridor was quiet. Xun Zhen had nothing to do with him. He took out the letters written to him by Xun Kui, Xun Qu, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and others, and ordered Dian Wei to hold a walking lantern and look at it as he walked.

The main idea of ​​Xun Wan's letter was to instruct him to be an official with caution and not to be arrogant and arrogant, so as not to cause trouble for the upper body. The letters from relatives and friends such as Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Du You, Guo Jun are all greetings, and they outline the changes in Yingchuan and their own experiences in the past year.

Xun Qu’s letter was the longest, first expressing his gratification for Xun Zhen’s success, saying how happy he would be now if his parents and elder brothers hadn’t passed away, and then talking about some recent events in the clan. Xunzhen bought the fields and the current situation of the disciples who obeyed Xunzhen. He said that everything was according to Xunzhen's intention before he left. Regarding the harvest of the fields, 10% was used for himself, 4% was given to poor relatives and friends, and 5% was given to poor relatives and friends. Keep the warehouse in case of emergencies. As for Tufu, they will practice twice a month, so that they will not forget to fight in battle. If there is an attack by bandits, it can protect the family, and there is a new county governor Wanghuan. , Le Jin is in the county, and he is there to take care of him at home, so that Xun Zhen can rest assured and don't have to worry about it.

At the end of the letter, he talked about Xun's family education. Although according to Xun Zhen's suggestion, not only did he not charge tuition fees for outstanding poor students, but he also provided them with monthly allowances based on the scholarship of later generations. The yellow turban is newly broken, the chaos is settled, there are many thieves, the prefectures and counties are restless, and the style of study tours is far less than before.

Even so, seeing the establishment of his own private school, the students in the school reverently chanting and studying scriptures every day, and the influence of Xun's family learning has been expanding day by day. A single scholar relies on speech and behavior to improve his reputation, and let it go to his family. There are many gentry in the world. If you want to stand out from the crowd and stand out, you can only rely on disciples and old officials. In this case, if you want to further improve the family's reputation, you can only rely on the disciples, that is, the spread of family learning. These students who are studying in Xun's private school now, no one knows whether there will be a famous person like Li Ying and Du Mi in a few years, or an important minister and noble person who is in the position of public officials~www.wuxiaspot .com~ As long as you can produce one, it will not be a waste to start a homeschooling.

To the students who were studying, Xun Qu specifically mentioned one person, but it was Guo Jia.

Xun's family is well-known all over the world, and it is not surprising that Guo Jialai went to school when private school started. Xun Zhen valued Guo Jia very much. As early as when Yang Zhai was a county official, he sent two people to "guard" him. Tell Xun Qu that Yang Zhai has a "talent of Wang Zuo", if he comes to study in a private school, he can take care of him more.

Xun Qu said in the letter that Guo Jia is indeed very intelligent, but it seems that his mind is not entirely on the scriptures, but he is very interested in military books, power tactics and the like. Talented people tend to be arrogant and maverick, and do not pay attention to the praise or criticism of the people of the time. Although Guo Jianian is not big, there is already a trend in this regard. Unlike those students who lead the way and follow the rules, he I don't care much about subsections. However, because of Xun Zhen's reminder, Xun Qu usually paid more attention to him, and recognized Xun Zhen's evaluation of his "Wang Zuocai".

Seeing Guo Jia's news, Xun Zhen's spirit was lifted.

Two of Yangzhai's future geniuses, Xu Shu has been in the bag, and Guo Jia has entered Xun's private school, so he is not far from his "sac".

After reading a few letters, I just entered the backyard.

"Little one is better than a newly married", Xun Zhen, Chen Zhi and Tang Er haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and they miss them very much.

He quickened his pace, walked through the corridor, went outside, knocked on the door, and got inside. The brazier in the house dissipated heat and the incense burner burned incense. Chen Zhi and Tang Er were both in the room, Xun Zhen's gaze flicked from the faces of the two of them, and landed on the face of the third person in the room, but she couldn't help but stay for a while. (To be continued)
