Shu Chen

Chapter 1 Wedges
In the countryside of Shifang County, Guanghan County, Yizhou, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of soil.

The Shiting River, which winds eastward from the Minshan Mountains, has sparse hedges, and a mountain trail is drawn into the sparse mulberry forest.

Looking for a path and stepping in, the light and shadow flow all the way, the branches and buds are green and green, and after more than a hundred steps, they suddenly become enlightened.

I saw that the three sides of this place were surrounded by low hills, and in front of the trickling stream, more than ten houses were located one after another.Looking at it, I saw that in the shadow of the gloom, there were children in the courtyard chasing birdsong;

In front of the house, some peach trees were planted in an orderly manner, and they were scorching hot. After the rain, the residual fragrance fell to the ground to make spring mud.

It is a place of escape from the mountains and rivers.

Here, it is the other garden of the Zheng family in Shifang, and it is also the seclusion place of Zheng Du.

Zheng Du, in his early years, was known for his talents and knowledge in the prefectures, and he served as a state shepherd, Liu Zhang, who worked for the prefecture.

At the beginning, Liu Zhang killed his mother and younger brother because of Zhang Lu's arrogance, and they attacked each other as an enemy.

In the 16th year of Jian'an, I heard that Prime Minister Cao Cao would send Zhong Yao and other generals to fight against Hanzhong.He listened to Zhang Song's words and sent Fazheng to welcome the former lord Liu Bei into Shu, attacking Zhang Lu first and rejecting him.

The First Sovereign, Liu Bei, arrived in Jiameng, and he was generous with his kindness to win the hearts of the people.

Liu Zhang was afraid, so he gathered the officials to discuss, and Zheng Du offered a plan, saying: "The army of Zuojun County attacked me, the soldiers were not full, and the soldiers were not attached. To the west, all the barns and wild valleys will be burnt down, high fortifications and deep ditches, and wait for them. When they come, please fight, do not promise, for a long time, you will have nothing but a hundred days, and you will go away on your own. Bird ears."

When the First Lord Liu Bei heard about it, he was very disgusted.

However, Liu Zhang did not use any special tactics, and said to his subordinates, "I have heard of resisting the enemy in order to reassure the people, but I have never heard of moving the people to avoid the enemy."

He was also accused of being unkind, dismissed Zheng Du from his official position, and sent him back to his hometown.

Later, Liu Zhang was defeated and surrendered, and was sent to the police in Nanjun County, Jingzhou.

After the First Sovereign, Liu Bei, took over Shu, he led Yizhou shepherds and raised the old officials of Bashu to appease people's hearts.

The group of officers supported Zheng Du with his ability to plan and persuade the First Sovereign to invite him.

The First Sovereign, Liu Bei, took it seriously.

In advance, a small official was sent to Shifang to restore his former official position, and Liu Zhang was ordered to leave Liu Xun, a son of Shu, to persuade him, and then personally invited him to the book.The courtesy is very long, and the rewards are quite heavy.

Zheng Du refused.

Claiming to have no intention of official career, I hope to die in the countryside.

At that time, the power was transitioned, and the powers of the county and the army were re-owned and dispatched. Zheng Du recruited him by repeatedly disobeying the first lord Liu Bei, fearing that there would be flatterers, and framing the charges and punishing the Zheng family was a fortunate achievement; The county is becoming more and more peaceful, and people with lofty ideals are all competing to persuade them.

Zheng Du's wife, Wang's family in Lixian County, Guanghan, and the sister of Wang Fu died in the Great Epidemic, leaving behind his eldest son, Yan.A few years later, a businesswoman in Na County became a concubine and gave birth to a young son, Pu, who helped to continue the string.

Wang Fu, who has a clear name, served as the secretary of the prefecture Liu Zhang, and was later granted the Mianzhu decree by the First Lord Liu Bei.

Zheng Yan, courtesy name Ziyi.

Born in the first year of Xingping (194 AD), he was sent by his father when he was young to learn from Qin Mi, a famous scholar in the same county.

Although his intellect is not as clever as his father's magic tricks, he has a strong temperament and is filial to his family. He often remembers the goodness of others and forgets the mistakes of others.Before reaching the weak crown, he was turned into a sect by the county levy and served as the master.

After serving for several years, I have to do everything by myself, and I have a beautiful voice.

When his father Zheng Du was ousted by Liu Zhang, Zheng Yan wanted to resign from the official position and return home to cultivate and study filial piety, but his father refused.Later, the first lord Liu Bei settled Shu, and the prefect of Guanghan changed his position. Zheng Yan, who was under the door, was dismissed and returned home at the age of twenty.

The new prefect, called Xiahou Zuan.

It is the Yuan servant of the first lord Liu Bei, and he began to follow him in the third year of Jian'an.

He is humble and respectful, has a kind personality, is fond of learning, especially likes to be close to famous scholars and scholars.

After taking office, he invited the famous Guanghan scholar Qin Mi to sacrifice wine for his teachers and friends, led the county's facial features, and called him "Zhongfu", admiring the unusual.

Therefore, when I heard that Zheng Yan had a good reputation as an assistant in the past and had been studied with Qin Mi, he felt friendly.

Seeing that Zheng Du should not be the first to lead the expedition, he had the mentality to appease the locality, and ordered the expedition of Zheng Yan to be under the door, hoping to confer merit on Cao.Although Zheng Yan is long, but because the adults in the family are still afraid to specialize, he went back to Sangyuan to inquire.

Zheng Du was very relieved to hear that.

Not only is he comforted by the success of his children and grandchildren, but he is also at ease that the Zheng family will not be implicated because of himself.

He ordered Zheng Yan to respond to it, and instructed him to work diligently and not to damage the family's reputation.He also invited the clan, his wife and brother Wang Fu to watch the ceremony, and asked his eldest son, Yan, to give blood to his step-dead brother, and divided the family property into two, and brought his wife and children to the Sanglin Garden outside the city to live in seclusion.

By dividing and governing the industry, let the eldest son Yan have an independent portal, and Zheng Du has returned to the mulberry garden to live in seclusion to cultivate and study, indulge in the mountains and rivers, and ignore the world.

At that time, his youngest son, Pu, was only nine years old.

Academic Zheng Du taught it by himself.

Shifang County produces good tea and has salt wells. The west of the city is close to the northwest mountainous area of ​​Shu County (later relocated to Wenshan County). Here, there are often Wenshan Qiang (Yi) who travel with caravans and sell their prey fur or herbs in the market. I often strayed into the mulberry garden.

At the beginning, seeing Zheng Du's bearing, unlike ordinary people, he didn't dare to disturb him.

Later, seeing that Zheng Du did not despise the Han barbarians, the Qiang people often took the mulberry garden as a resting place, and came to hire helpers to earn some rations during the busy farming season.

The Qiang people have little literature since ancient times, and they have the Muhan family.

As the acquaintance between the two sides increased day by day, the bold one brought the prey to prepare money and gifts, and came to beg and asked Zheng Du to teach his son and nephew.

Zheng Du was surprised, and he thought that he would live in the mountains and have nothing to do, so he agreed.

However, he precepts that the sons and nephews of Qiang should not be regarded as masters and disciples, nor should they be taught or taught, and they should be allowed to listen to them at will.

Immediately, word of mouth spread, and the township news spread.In the surrounding Han family and the first people in Qian, some families were poor and had nowhere to receive scholars, and they also sent young children to come to be taught.

All children have different teeth, there are eleven and two, and there are seven or eight-year-olds who have never been enlightened.

Seeing this, Zheng Du saw that his youngest son Pu had been enlightened at the age of six, so he set up a Mongolian school, enlightening all the children every morning, and privately finding time to teach the young children their studies.

So the villagers praised it, and the state and county passed it on.

During this period, she gave birth to a little girl Yan.

So until the 24th year of Jian'an.

In the spring, I was ill from the cold, sleep sickness, and my youngest son Pu, who was fourteen years old, taught on his behalf.

In autumn, he was bedridden, and he knew that the deadline was approaching, so he crowned his youngest son, and gave him the word Zijin.

Soon, graduate.

The eldest son, Zheng Yan, went to the funeral, and his youngest son Pu supported the coffin and was buried on the bank of the Jinjiang River.

On the day of the burial, nearly [-] people will be buried spontaneously.Some of Cheng'en's sons and nephews received scholars, and some Bashu scholars came to admire Qijie, such as Du Wei, a great scholar in the county, Qin Mi, a famous scholar, and Zhang Yi, a native of Wuyang, Qianwei County, who was the prefect of Guanghan at that time.

Because after the first lord Liu Bei settled Shu, many of the former officials who were subordinate to Liu Zhang descended, and there were few people who kept the festival.

Only Guzhou was engaged in Zhang Ren, and he was defeated and captured.Today, Zheng Dugu is unswerving, and in the end of his life he did not serve in the first lord Liu Bei, so he has won the admiration of the world.

Zhang Wu two years.

Filial piety, in addition to clothing cut decline.

The prefecture, with Zheng Yan's industrious service in the past, and his reputation as the No. [-] in Jiamen, tried to guard Hande County, Zitong County.

The second son, Pu, was frail after filial piety. Because of his mourning for a long time, he did not touch the meat and smell. For a while, he was greedy for the beauty of the succulent.People at that time did not know why, but praised his filial piety.

Afterwards, it healed.

However, the behavior is different from ordinary people.

As everyone knows, this Zheng Pu is no longer Zheng Pu!
