Chapter 26 Mi Heng stirs up the banquet

At the beginning of the new year, Cao Cao invited not high-ranking officials and dignitaries to entertain guests at the Sikong Mansion, but talented scholars from the middle of the capital, in order to show off his knowledge and prestige in front of the madman Mi Heng. When Cao Cao was young, he also did a lot of frivolous acts, and it was inevitable that he would have some prejudices against serving officials as a white man, so he did not regard Mi Heng as an enemy.If you can teach You Heng a little lesson at the banquet, so that you can restrain your edge, this person might not be able to reuse it.

Before noon, all the guests invited have arrived. Today, regardless of their official positions, they will attend according to their talents, learning and reputation.Cao Cao spent a lot of time on his own. In his early years, because of his proficiency in ancient studies, he worshiped Yilang and wrote poems such as "Haoli Xing" and "Xielu Xing". He is still qualified to do this. From Cao Cao down, Guang Luxun Xixi is the first in the east.Chi Chi, courtesy name Hongyu, was the favorite student of Zheng Xuan, the master of Confucian classics.In the past, General He Jin recruited Zheng Xuan to be an official, and the old man was forced to go to Beijing. After meeting with He Jin, he fled at night, leaving his disciple Xi Li to explain the aftermath.Xi Ji was retained by He Jin to stay in the court, and Dong Zhuo and Li Jue also helped the emperor's officials during the chaos, and now he replaces Huan Dian as Guang Lu Xun.Of course, like Huan Dian, he has a job but no soldiers, so he can't play the role of managing the Seventh Department, and it's just a facade.But what is slightly different is that Xi Xi was from Shanyang County, Yanzhou, and got along more harmoniously with Cao Cao.He has a clean face and long beard and looks dignified. He sits upright and doesn't look sideways. He has the style of a great Confucian.

Below Xiji is Yingchuan Xunyue.Xun Yue's name is Zhongyu, although he is only eleven years older than Xun Yu, he is Xun Yu's uncle in the same family, which is equivalent to Xun You's uncle.He is famous for his proficiency in historical articles, and now he is an official servant, and he is reading and composing with the emperor every day, which is a bit like a royal teacher.This person is full of beauty, but his personality is gloomy and old-fashioned, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays.Next to Xun Yue are He Kui, He Shulong and Jiang Gan and Jiang Ziyi, two well-known sages in Jianghuai.

And the first one sitting on the west side is Kong Rong.Even if Cao Cao doesn't like his character, but after all, he is a man of talent and learning, and after he is a dignified saint, it is always unreasonable not to put him first.Kong Rong sat there talking and laughing freely and freely, which was in stark contrast to the restrained Chi Ji, which made Cao Cao unhappy. Next to Kong Rong is Yilang Xie Gai.Xie Gaizi Wenyi, a native of Zhangling, Nanyang, is good at "Zuoshi Chunqiu".He was also recommended by Kong Rong to join the court. He was calm by nature and a scholar with his head bowed.Sitting next to Xie Gai were Lu Cui, Lu Wenwei and Fanqin Fanxiu. Although they were subordinates of Cao Cao, they were famous for their prose and poetry, and they were also present today.

Cao Cao looked it over carefully, and nodded with satisfaction - with these eight generals holding the ground, you Hengtian's great ability can't be used. It's a pity that the eight people are not of one mind, and there is no speculative topic.Lu Cui and Fanqin observed Cao Cao with good eyes, always paying attention to the mood of the lord, and greeted him with a good word or two at the right time; , Xun Yue, and Xie Gai all sat upright and played deeply; only Kong Rong sat with his knees hugged, talking and laughing when he had nothing to say, and Cao Cao had no choice but to prevaricate.

"Meng De, I heard that there is another big happy event in the court!" Kong Rong felt good about himself, but he didn't know that his words disgusted the other party.Now the ministers in the court and even relatives and brothers all call Cao Cao "Cao Gong" and "Ming Gong". Resentment is disgusting, and Cao Cao didn't bother to bother with him about trivial matters, so he just took a small glass of wine as a reciprocation, and teased: "I don't know why you like it?" "Isn't it a joy that Taifu Zhao has arrived again?" Kong Rong said that Taipu Zhao was Zhao Qi.In the past, Xijing fell into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, and Taifu Ma Rizun and Taifu Zhao Qi were ordered to comfort Guandong.Ma Rixun was detained by Yuan Shu and died of anger.Zhao Qi fled to Jingzhou and stayed at Liu Biao's place. He had previously persuaded Liu Biao to send a sum of money for the court to repair the palace. Later, because of Zhang Xiu's reason, the Cao and Liu families started a war, and the news was cut off.

Now that Zhao Qi's seal has arrived again, it is indeed a joy for Cao Cao.However, the reason for his happiness was completely different from that of Kong Rong. He took this incident as a signal that letting Deng Ji go had an effect, and the court and Liu Biao tended to ease.Thinking of this, he nodded happily: "It is indeed a good thing, but..." Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Kong Rong interjected: "I heard that Zhao's eunuch recommended Sun Song, a well-known scholar living in Jingzhou, as Qingzhou governor. Why doesn't Meng De follow suit?" This remark provoked Cao Cao's anger, Qingzhou Mu had been forced by the situation to be granted to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Tan was now in charge of the territory, and Li Zheng, the former short-term governor, died of illness.If Sun Song was appointed, wouldn't that be an open confrontation with Yuan Shao?Furthermore, even if he wanted to be appointed, he had to find someone Cao Cao could trust. Why did he use this Sun Song who had never met because of Zhao Qi's words?Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and glanced at Kong Rong. Seeing that his expression was sincere and he didn't seem to be trying to provoke right and wrong, he took a sip of wine and suppressed his anger.

Kong Rong ignored it, and said: "Leaving aside the matter of Sun Song, the servant Zhao should be recalled to the court as soon as possible." Famous ministers should not be scattered outside, Cao Cao agreed with this point: "This matter should not be too late, let me make a statement tomorrow." Speaking of this, he suddenly felt tempted again, and said casually, "Zhao Qi is a veteran of Sheji. , should belong to the Sangong, I intend to hand over the position of Sikong to his old man, what do you think?" The words were not loud, but the hall was immediately silent——Sikong Mansion is Chaozhongchao, how could Cao Cao just let it go?Fanqin had a quick brain and was the first to speak: "Duke Ming saved the land and re-established the imperial court. This is an unworldly achievement. The Sikong Mansion's handling of the secrets is very much in line with the emperor's wishes and the wishes of all officials. How can it be shared with others? Although Zhao Qi's reputation is high, he has neither guarded the emperor's return to the east nor greeted him in Luoyang, so his virtue is not enough to surpass all officials." As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup and waved it around to the people present. Zuo resentfully said, "If you look at the eight wastelands, who can secure the great Han society, who is better than Duke Cao?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words: Don't you feel stupid when you say such blatant flattery? Lu Cui also knew Cao Cao's hypocrisy, so he followed suit, but not as flatteringly as Fanqin said: "I vaguely remember that Zhao Qi is nearly ninety years old. Lu Zhizhi may not be able to do what he wants. The current court has a lot of waste to do, and it is not appropriate to bother the elderly to govern, so there are mistakes between public and private." This reason was high-sounding, and everyone present echoed it, and even Kong Rong nodded helplessly.Xi Ji calmly changed the topic: "Since Zhao Qi is very old, in the opinion of the following officials, it is better to recall the matter sooner rather than later, so as not to be as ill as Ma Rixun. In the future, on the date of Dading in Huainan, I still need to invite Ma Gong's coffin back. , A generous burial."

"Hmph! Hongyu doesn't have much knowledge," Kong Rong said bluntly, "Ma Rixun is a person who is out of integrity, how can he be worthy of the imperial court's burial?" It is common to have different opinions when discussing issues, but it seems a bit too much to say that others are "not well-informed" in person.What's more, Xi Xi is a student of Zheng Xuan's disciple and a famous contemporary Confucianist. Isn't this embarrassing him face to face?Chi Li's palace is very deep, although he was unhappy, he pretended to be respectful and said: "I wish to hear the article and give a high opinion."

Kong Rong said with a serious face: "Ma Rixun is a gentleman above him. He is an envoy of fashion and festival, and he is ordered to point directly at Dongxia. The name is attached to the subordinate and the superior, and the traitor is used to serve the king. In the past, when the Jin army was in the army, Yi Liao was upright. How can the royal ministers be resigned at the sight of threats! Also, Yuan Shu is rebellious, not overnight, and he will follow him day by day , Revolving through the years. There is a rule in the "Han Law" that anyone who has been in contact with a sinner for more than three days should know about it. Ridou is a guilty person. Since he is dead, it is fine not to pursue his crime. The court cannot burial and add ceremony!" It is an indisputable fact that Ma Rixun and Yuan Shu have been dealing with each other for a long time, but his original intention was to win Yuan Shu to be loyal to the king's affairs, but he was deceived by Yuan Shu to envoys and died of grief and anger.Although it cannot be said that it is wrong to quote the "Law of the Han Dynasty", Kong Rong's views are dogmatic.Xi Xi didn't refute, but smiled softly at Cao Cao: "Although Wen Ju's remarks are out of date, they are worthy of a high opinion." Xi Xi said the truth! Cao Cao had worked with Ma Rixun in his early years, especially when he was a Yilang, he was appreciated by the old man. It was already very unpleasant to hear Kong Rong's heartbreaking words, and Chi Xi's provocation was like adding fuel to the fire. Oil.He held the wine cup tighter and tighter. Seeing that Kong Rong's misfortune was not imminent, he suddenly heard someone report from the hall: "You Heng brought it!" Everyone was stunned, they didn't know that Cao Cao had invited Ni Heng, and seeing that there were no other seats in the hall except for nine people, they guessed Cao Cao's intention of humiliation almost exactly.Today's protagonist is here, and Cao Cao temporarily put Kong Rong's hatred aside, and said coldly, "Please!" Not long after, there was a loud noise of pushing and shoving, and a young man walked up to the hall with his head held high—I saw that you Heng was eight feet tall, in his twenties, wearing a tattered, patched, soap-colored old suit, gray A coarse cloth scarf was tied on the top, a few strands of unkempt hair were hanging by the ears, and a few dusts were deliberately wiped on the face.Although unkempt, it did not hide its upright appearance.With a wide sky, a pointed jaw, a straight nose and straight mouth, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, he can be called a literati and martial artist. Mi Heng entered the hall to look around, and finally his eyes fell on Cao Cao. Suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, and cupped his hands slightly: "The savage Ni Heng pays homage to Cao Gong... It's a pity, the city is overwhelmed by the god..." Chi Chi was so frightened that he spilled the wine in his hand——"The city is overwhelmed by the god" is a phrase in "Book of Changes · Tai Gua".This hexagram is like the upper three breaks and the lower three links, and the lower stem and upper Kun are called Tai hexagrams.According to the hexagram, "the city is overthrown by the god, and its fate is in chaos" is a sign of danger and subversion.Mi Heng's words are too cryptic, and he uses this hexagram to allude to the court situation.The top is like the Son of Heaven, which is false; the bottom is like Cao Cao, which is real, and it should be subversive.When Mi Heng saw Cao Cao spit out such a sentence first, he was simply joking with his own head. But the people present were just surprised and didn't react.Only Xi Xi's belly was so deep that his hair shuddered when he thought about it.Seeing that no one seemed to understand him, he was afraid that he would be underestimated if he didn't answer, so he quickly pretended to be deep and said: "It's bad, it's bad, it's auspicious and prosperous." "'s hexagrams, but it is on the good side. Seeing that someone understood, Ni Heng made a bow to Xi Ji in a polite manner, and said with a half-smile: "Yu Jun is auspicious, but Yu Jun may not be auspicious. I only care about Junji and don't think about Junji, so ashamed, so ashamed... ..." What is auspicious and not auspicious, Cao Cao and others thought it was a crazy talk of mystification.But Xi Xi understood, and a look of shame appeared on his face.The two "jun" have different meanings.The former "jun" is an honorific, and the latter "jun" refers to the king, and the meaning is clear-Cao Cao is in power, and the emperor is overhead. It is a good thing for people like you Xi Hongyu who flatter Cao Cao, but it is not a good thing for today's world.Don't you feel ashamed that you only care about your own wealth and future, and don't think about the good and bad fortune of the emperor? Cao Cao was still ignorant, but he didn't know that the most knowledgeable Chi Ji on his side had already been taught a lesson.When a guest came, he should stand up and return the salute, but Cao Cao saw that Mi Heng was disheveled, so he sat down without even lifting his buttocks.He can't move anyone else, but Kong Rong is familiar with Mi Heng, and he nodded cheerfully as a greeting. Cao Cao looked at You Heng for a long time, and then asked: "Your Excellency is also considered a celebrity in the plains, why did you come dressed like this?" You Heng brushed off his tattered clothes, and said with a smile: "The country is prosperous but the people are prosperous, the country is ruined and the people are declining. I dare not forget the chaos in the world today, neither dare to wear flashy clothes, let alone have extravagant banquets." Cao Cao sensed the thorn in his words, so he just laughed it off: "Brother Lai Wen recommended you to the table. I have heard of your name, and I have sent you three times to invite you. I don't know why you don't come?" Mi Heng pretended to be serious, bowed his hands and said: "The heart of courtesy is the end of courtesy. Make the next three concessions and then accept it!" These words directly hit Cao Cao's lungs. Every time he gave himself an official promotion, he would give in and then accept it. Today, Ni Heng used this to disgust him.Cao Cao was not angry, but sneered, "Hmph! Since your Excellency follows the etiquette and would rather bend than bend, why did you come here today when soldiers were coercing you?" Mi Heng's words followed: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Since the world was in chaos, there have been fewer educated and reasonable scholars, and more self-respecting villains. I have no choice but to hide in the busy city and go to the countryside to do as the Romans do." Everyone present here knew Cao Cao's temper. Hearing Mi Heng's words became more and more ruthless, Cao Cao was expected to fly into a rage again, so he quickly lowered his head, not even daring to vent his anger.Kong Rong liked Mi Heng's unruly character very much, bowed his head to savor the taste of these three sentences, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.When he smiled, Xi Xi, Lu Cui and the others immediately cast angry glances. Unexpectedly, when Kong Rong smiled, Cao Cao also smiled, stood up and cupped his hands and said cheerfully: "I have heard a lot of discussions from the scholars in Beijing, saying that you are not inferior to others in Pingyuan, and you are well-deserved when I see you today... Come on. People, set up a seat for Mr. You...please!" Although Cao Cao is moody, there must be a large number of people who want to make big things happen.Now he is in the third rank, and you are no more than a commoner, so he can't touch a crock with a golden bowl!Giving Mi Heng a seat is also giving yourself a step down.He made up for the etiquette, and it would be unreasonable if Mi Heng said anything rude, so he also returned the courtesy to Cao Cao.Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Kong Rong quickly introduced everyone present to Mi Heng.Some he knew and some he didn't know, Mi Heng greeted each of them one by one, and then sat down in a proper manner. Today is a literary battle, and Fanqin was eager to show his merits in front of the lord, so he fired first before Miheng sat still: "I have heard for a long time that brother Zhengping is so talented, and I don't know what articles have been handed down to the world?" He is good at writing, so naturally Difficulty from this angle. Mi Heng shook his head: "In my life, I despise writing and writing." Fanqin listened to his strong arguments, and mocked: "Brother Zhengping, why are you so disrespectful? It seems that you also have a thousand words in your heart, and you have nothing to write, so I can understand..." Seeing him humiliating himself, You Heng asked instead, "I wonder if Huber has any good articles?" Fanqin stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "I used to like poetry and prose, but they were all for games, so I didn't think I could do them. Fortunately, Mr. Cao's heart is so kind that I don't think I'm shallow. , The Japanese book is more than a thousand words, and I feel very honored!" He also nodded to Cao Cao as he spoke. Mi Heng smiled, raised his hand and slapped his face in front of him, sighing: "The smell is unbearable..." "What?" Fanqin was taken aback. "Big flattering, it stinks..." Mi Heng gave him a disdainful look, and scolded him, "Uncle Fanxiu! You used to have a bit of literary talent, but it's a pity that you have literary talent but no literary courage! You only have the ability to write and write But he has no aspirations to correct the vulgar. He is slick and sophisticated, specializing in the method of sucking hemorrhoids, and studying the art of advocacy. Now that he is in the imperial court, his virtue is not enough to enter the temple. He is only reduced to a knife and pen official, but he is not ashamed but proud .I ask you about your proudest articles in your life, but you don’t forget to flirt and flirt, and Er Nai is a wagging dog in the literary garden!" "Hahaha..." Everyone in the room also felt that Fanqin was flattering and blatant. Hearing that Niheng's words stabbed him in the ribs, instead of reprimanding him, they laughed in unison, even Cao Cao couldn't help nodding and smiling.Fanqin's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in. Lu Cui also looked down on Fanqin, but after all, he was on the same side, especially now that he is also Cao Cao's subordinate. If you treat Fanqin like this, wouldn't you bring him in too?Quickly interjected: "What Zhengping said is not entirely appropriate. Although Shuzuo is a member of the Sangong, he is not a petty official with a knife and a pen. The exchange of orders is related to economic and government affairs. How can it be done by ordinary officials?" Unexpectedly, Ni Heng happily shook his head: "I don't understand Wen Wei's words." "Why don't you understand?" You Heng stroked his fluffy hair, and said unhurriedly: "Economy and government affairs are important affairs of the imperial court. It is a matter of Shangshu Taige to be involved in the province under the orders of the emperor. How can it be done by a small official of the shogunate? This Sikong It is a matter of indiscriminately intervening in the province, who set the rules, I really don't understand." No one can laugh at this remark.Cao Cao used the Sikong Mansion to dominate the imperial court. Everyone knew this but no one dared to say it clearly. You Heng just pointed it out so casually.Knowing that he had slipped his tongue, Lu Cui quickly defended himself and said: "Since my Duke Cao was in charge of the government, he has been loyal to the country and worked hard day and night to cultivate the land, seek disobedience, open up the way of speaking, and recruit talents. Prejudice. Isn't it too harsh for you to speak like this?" "It's a waste of words..." You Heng looked at him with a smirk, "It's weird! I'm just curious, and I want to ask who set the ridiculous rules. Why do you boast of Duke Cao's kindness for no reason?" Lu Cui was startled, knowing that he had been fooled, and looked at the people present in embarrassment, then bowed his head and said nothing. "The same stink is unbearable." Mi Heng was unreasonable, and waved his hands again, "You Lu Wenwei was employed by Cai Yong in the early years, and you are also a person who is famous as the third assistant. Fanxiu Bo has become a common thing, like entering the abalone's cage, and he will not smell the smell for a long time." He Kui was sitting across from him. He was known for his virtuous and dignified conduct. He never talked about right and wrong, and even held a kind attitude towards others.But at this moment, seeing that You Heng was too straightforward, and seeing that Cao Cao seemed to be sullen, he was afraid that You Heng would be in trouble, so he quickly stopped him and said, "You Zhengping, Wen Wei didn't ridicule Your Excellency, it's unethical for you to speak like this ?” "I have lost my virtue, Mr. He forgive me," You Heng stood up and said with a bow, "I have heard for a long time that He Shulong is noble, talented, generous, and has the style of the ancients. He is famous all over the world for his virtue, and I admire him very much." He said more and more. Quicker didn't wait for He Kui to interject a polite word, but turned to ask, "I have an allusion that I don't understand, and I want to learn it in front of you." He Kui knew that he couldn't say anything good, so he said kindly: "If you have something to say, please talk to me face to face. Why do you say that you should teach me?" You Heng sneered and said: "Once upon a time there was a boyi who, as a minister of Shang Zhou, would rather starve to death at the foot of Shouyang Mountain than to eat the riches of the Zhou family. Why do future generations praise such stupid people?" He Kui's heart trembled, he knew that this was the opposite of the truth, and he was aiming at the fact that he had been hijacked by Yuan Shu to serve as a false post, and wanted to use Boyi to belittle himself.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile wryly: I kindly gave him a step, but instead he spoke out sarcasm, good words are hard to persuade, damn it, since he is asking for trouble, I have no choice but to let it go. He Kui sat upright and ignored him, but Jiang Gan was annoyed.Although Jiang Ziyi was young, he was the most eloquent person in Jianghuai, and he refuted countless people who could speak well. He was invited to Beijing as a doctor since he promised to establish the capital.Seeing that Ni Heng was too arrogant today, without waiting for him to speak again, he stepped in and said: "No! It's not true! The theory of 'Bo Yiai, Liu Xiahui is disrespectful' is unreasonably mean words of secular children. Mencius said 'Yes' Unpredictable reputation, there is destruction of seeking perfection. You, Zhengping, blame you for not knowing current affairs! Although we are not perfect talents, we also serve the court and benefit the people. We will not dare to neglect Gouan one day. And you, Zhengping, can neither You should be ashamed of living in seclusion for the sake of the world, and you still have the face to point out the sky and raise your price? Wen Ju submitted a letter to recommend, and Cao Gong repeatedly confiscated it. It is unrighteous for you to refuse to come; It is inhumane to come out with arrogance and self-esteem, and to hurt others with a big mouth!'Benevolence is the home of a person; righteousness is the right path of a person. !" Jiang Gan is worthy of being a talent for distinguishing tongues. These words sounded like a heavy hammer hitting the ground. Cao Cao and others were very angry when they heard it, and they couldn't help smiling and looking at Mi Heng.Ni Heng was really stunned by him for a while, and then he paused for a moment before saying: "People can do something if they don't, and then they can do something." Son Shield. "Hmph!" Jiang Qianchang let out a sigh of relief, and said in a bad mood, "Forgive me, my students, I am ignorant and I don't understand what you say. What can be done? What can't be done? Could it be that what you and your Zhengping do can be done, If you can’t do something, then you can’t do it, right? Smart words make you look ugly and benevolent!” "Brother Jiang, calm down, and listen to my younger brother to speak slowly." You Heng has already learned the sharpness of his tongue, so he can't argue with him, and his tone is kind, and he slowly narrates, "The former Taigong and Boyi are both sages, and they came out together. In the state of Zhou, everyone saw King Wu. The Taigong came to the stage to worship the commander, defeated Zhou and prospered Zhou and was granted the title of Qi State; A virtuous official is impermanent to meet. A virtuous or not is a talent; if you don’t, it’s time.” While speaking, he glanced at the people in the hall, “If you are talented and clean, if you don’t meet them, you will retreat to the bottom; , Above everyone. Taigong Wang, the talent of Wang Zuo, was born in the world of King Wu, so he made great achievements like a fish in water; Boyi, the talent of Emperor Zuo, came from the life of a king, so he had to hold Gao Jie alone and starve to death in the mountains." Jiang Gan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and Mi Heng's words clearly boasted that he is the talent of Emperor Zuo, and the one present is Wang Zuozhi, who is a level higher than everyone else.Jiang Gan wanted to argue again, but he saw Mi Heng waved his hand to indicate that he hadn't finished speaking. He made a bow and continued: "The princes are all loyal and well-educated men. Some came to the new capital without avoiding dangers, and what they did was to revitalize the emperor's government. Excuse me for asking recklessly, can Lie Gong keep the prosperity of the Han Dynasty?" When he asked, everyone looked at each other; But he said, "Today, the son's authority is all given to others, and the land of the eight wastelands is falling apart, just like the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period. There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is just a trick to respect the king and fight against the barbarians to establish authority..." Hearing Ni Heng say "the trick of respecting the king and fighting barbarians to establish authority", Cao Cao was furious, wishing to draw his sword and kill this madman immediately.But he hesitated again and again, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of killing Bian Rang, Yuan Zhong, and Huan Shao in his mind.At the beginning, the killing of three scholars made Yanzhou scholars suspicious, and the rebellion of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong almost ruined his life and future; now he is the ruler of the court, if killing one Miheng and confusing the hearts of the world, it is said to be harmful to others and not self-interested... The more he thought about it, the more Cao Cao calmed down. He calmed down and watched Mi Heng confront Jiang Gan. "Those who observe benevolence and righteousness in ancient and modern times, Mencius has a saying, 'Yao and Shun are of nature; Under the circumstances, people’s hearts can’t be questioned anymore!” Mi Heng looked at Jiang Gan sadly, “Jiang Ziyi, I’ve heard for a long time that you have been diligent in studying since childhood, and you originally had lofty aspirations. What has he done? Although Brother Jiang is full of economics, can the world be saved by relying on a few doctors and a few classics? Even if it is unified one day, how can it restore the old virtues of Yao and Shun and truly save the common people in the world? Brother Jiang If you don't have a heart of virtue, you will be with wolves, but you will only beg for a fish's ear!" Previously, he was just cursing people, but this time he was cursing the world. He simply scolded all the emperors under three generations in it, which almost killed the hearts of the world.Kong Rong, Xun Yue, Xie Gai, etc. are not Cao Cao's confidantes. Hearing this, he can't help but lament the world's self-harm and self-pity.Jiang Ganzhi, who was conceited and eloquent, was dazed when he heard it. He recalled that he was young and vigorous, full of aspirations to educate the world, and the world could only be a cloud in the end. He suddenly felt sad and stood up to bow to Cao Cao. : "Xiao Ke's talent is too low to be driven, and he is really powerless to praise and help the court to educate the people. I hope that the Ming Dynasty will show kindness and kindness, and let me go home and study for a few more years!" As he spoke, he got up and took off the scholar's crown and put it on the table. Let go, walk away. Cao Cao couldn't help but shudder—he didn't need to care about Mi Heng's raving words, because the more people scolded, the more people he offended.But now Ni Heng speaks out what he thinks frankly, and he is really coming to him to "take the emperor to make the princes".This black sheep can persuade Jiang Gan to leave today, and he can persuade others tomorrow.If you allow Niheng to spread such remarks, who is willing to help him sweep the world and revive the court?Thinking so far, Cao Cao didn't care about Jiang Gan's going or staying. Instead, he asked Ni Heng: "Zhengping's words are too sad. Don't you underestimate the pride in the world?" Mi Heng hurriedly put away his sad mood, and calmly replied: "Qu Yuan is sad because Chu is about to perish; Jia Yi is sad because the princes are in chaos." Xun Yue remained silent all this time. Seeing that Ni Heng was still asking for trouble, he couldn't help but interjected to save him: "I see that Zhengping is familiar with historical events, which is rare. The old man is editing and compiling history books. Since you don't want to be an official , let’s compile the history of the country together with the old man, and comfort the ancestors to be vigilant to future generations.” Hearing his invitation, Mi Heng gave a sad smile, shook his head and said, "Once upon a time, there was a Tai Shi Gong who was tortured and wrote "Historical Records". He had no secrets about the tyranny of Emperor Xiaowu. Dare I ask Mr. Zhongyu to write this kind of history books? " Xun Yue was speechless after hearing his question.He taught today's sons to study and study, and he felt that Liu Xie was a wise master, but his family Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xun Yan all helped Cao Cao take power.He is involved in the contradictions and difficulties, so he stays behind closed doors in his spare time to compile the "Han Ji", records the past events of the former Han Dynasty, puts his mind on the history, does not participate in the right and wrong of the court, and dare not make irresponsible remarks on real politics. How can it be compared with Sima Qian. Up to this point, the hall was completely silent, and all those who spoke were pushed back by Mi Heng.Kong Rong had a good relationship with him and would not make trouble; Xie Gai was also recommended by Kong Rong, so he felt in a dilemma and was inconvenient to speak.He watched as he saw that the entire hall of talented people had been completely defeated by Mi Heng. Cao Cao looked around, bowed his head, sighed and sighed, and there was another who was said to have resigned. He wanted to humiliate him, but he was humiliated by him.But today, after all, Ni Heng was called by the order of expropriation. Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and asked the last question: "Will Zhengping be my subordinate?" Mi Heng simply tore his face, pointed at Cao Cao and said, "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be honored. Mi Heng will not protect you, the filthy person who is the queen of the eunuch!" Cao Cao suppressed his anger, and said again: "Your Excellency must have great ambitions, and you are willing to enter the court as an official and become a good minister for a generation?" You Heng said smoothly: "What is called a good minister today is what was called a thief in ancient times. It is not right to harm the people and traitors!" Cao Cao was also benevolent and righteous, and tried his best to restrain himself from getting angry, but he couldn't stand this Mi Heng's provocation again and again.The impact of killing him is too bad, and expulsion from the capital will inevitably cause trouble, but it is not appropriate to give him an official position. Looking at this piece of undercooked and chewy hob meat, there is really nothing to do with him. Seeing Mi Heng contradicting you again and again, Kong Rong couldn't stand it any longer. He forced a smile and said, "You Zhengping, you are too arrogant. Is there anyone in the world that you like? Mr. Cao is willing to use it." You still don't agree? With such a big air, who do you think you are? Is Yan Hui resurrected?" Mi Heng laughed when he heard this, and jokingly said: "If my younger brother Yan comes back to life, brother Wen Ju can say that Zhong Ni is not dead." Kong Rong was stunned——"Zhong Ni is not dead, Yan Hui is alive" Such an arrogant joke should never be made in Cao Cao's face, just this one word is enough to invite death!Kong Rong wanted to tell Mi Heng to shut up, but he didn't appreciate it, and even buried the funeral bearer in the grave.He usually likes Mi Heng's rebelliousness very much, but now he also feels that this temper is harmful. I don't know if Mi Heng didn't care or was joking on purpose. He didn't realize that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he laughed to himself: "Brother Wen Ju is the successor of Kong Zhongni. He has done all the legacy of the great sage. It's not wrong to say that you are Zhongni's immortal." Why..." Kong Rong laughed dryly and lowered his head.At this moment, Xi Ji, who was on the opposite side, suddenly said coldly: "Oh, after the sage... I have never heard that Bo Yu's learning is better than Zi Yu..." Bo Yu is Kong Li, the son of Confucius, and Zi Yu is Zeng Shen, a disciple of Confucius.Although Kong Li was the son of a sage, he did not make any achievements. On the contrary, Zeng Shen left the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Great Learning" to be respected by later generations.To say that Bo Yu is not as good as Zeng Shen is to say that Kong Rong, a sage, has no reputation afterward.Kong Rong felt that this sentence was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, he raised his head and gave Xi Xi a fierce look, but he saw that Xi Xi was also looking at him fiercely, the two hostile eyes turned away when they met, and each looked away. Fanqin had been watching Cao Cao all the time, and he was very embarrassed to see him, so he turned his head and said, "I have heard for a long time that you Zhengping is good at playing drums, and now there is a lack of a drummer in the mansion. Why don't you leave Zhengping as a drummer, my lord? Wouldn't it be better for him to put all his madness on the drums?" Beating drums is the job of a lowly actor. It is really a great humiliation to ask a dignified celebrity to do such an errand.However, this remark fit Cao Cao's intentions, and he burst into a smile: "In the past, before becoming an official, Cai Bojie was famous all over the world for his skill of playing the qin. If Zhengping can become famous for playing drums, he can be regarded as imitating the sages. Mr. You, I wonder if you can willing?" Ni Heng was also willing to let go, and put his hand in his hands and said: "Thanks to Mr. Cao's great love, I have given such a heavy responsibility. Thank you!" After saying that, he turned around and left the hall resentfully. Originally, he wanted to teach Ni Heng a lesson, but he was taught a lesson.No matter what, the plague god was finally sent away. Cao Cao couldn't help but patted his forehead and said angrily, "Stubborn like a bull, stubborn like a donkey, I really don't know how to praise!" Xi Xi, Xun Yue, He Kui and the others couldn't help feeling amused when they saw that he didn't show up in front of him, but they were holding back their anger behind their backs, so they got up and said goodbye.Cao Cao didn't force him to stay, he just cupped his hands and said, "Everyone has been wronged a lot, don't take it to heart, go back and rest... I'm so angry..." Although Kong Rong had some opinions on Cao Cao, he also felt that his recommendation of Mi Heng was not beautiful, so he couldn't help saying a few words of consolation: "Meng De, you Zhengping's nature is like a wild horse, so your words are somewhat impassioned. ..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Chi Chi who retreated to the entrance of the hall raised his head and said nonchalantly: "Bad horses enter the stables, this is also Bole's ears!" This remark reminded Cao Cao, he gave Kong Rong a hard look, stood up and made a fake bow and said: "Brother Wen Ju, the world has not been swept away, I really don't have time to deal with your friends, I beg you Please stop causing trouble for me!" After saying that, he tossed his sleeves, left Kong Rong with an embarrassed face, and went back to the back hall.
