Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 560
The 18nd year of Xiping, February
The ram general Yuan Shu, who was less than 50 years old, passed away.

Those who heard it mourned beyond words.

Yuan Shu was arrogant when he was young, and he worshiped the great Confucian He Zi as his teacher, and he ruled the rams. After He Zi passed away, he joined the army alone. Hehe, the enemy was terrified, and he entered the temple as the third prince. He was dismissed from office because he seriously injured his relatives. He taught the prince and managed the scriptures well. He once mentioned the theory of three generations and three riches. Wei has made outstanding achievements in cleaning up the traitors of Sili.

The "Gongyang Chunqiu Jiegu Xu" was established and handed down from generation to generation.

The emperor personally mourned for him. As Yuan Shu's friend for many years, the emperor felt extremely sad for his death, and everyone came to see him off.

Although he has passed away, his reputation still lives on.

At that time, Guan Yu borrowed Yuan Shu's "Gongyang Jiegu Xu" from the library and copied it. All [-] copies he copied were distributed to various places, and they were all borrowed within three days. It has become the only book that can be borrowed or even copied in the library, and many of the contents about the New Deal, including the theory of the wealth of the country and the people, have made the scholars suddenly realize that the Gongyang written by Yuan Shu is much less than before. A bit hostile.

He did not comment too much on the content of the great revanchism, but more about the tendency and the general strategy of governing the country and the strategy of governing the world, including emphasizing the role of finance in the country, emphasizing the guiding role of scholar-bureaucrats to the people, and emphasizing the daily life of the people These three aspects, first of all, as a classic of Confucianism, he proposed for the first time that temples must pay attention to finances. You must know that those who pay attention to national finances are Legalists, and Confucianism has never paid attention to this.

However, Yuan Shu's description of this in the book is particularly strong, and he even proposed several methods on how to increase finances. He used to be Sikong, and he also has some experience in this area. The way out must be overseas, and he also proposed a preferential treatment policy for scholar-bureaucrats. He believed that if scholar-bureaucrats were the pillars of the country, if they lost their salaries and were not reused, the country would definitely have problems.

On this point, everyone has mixed opinions.

However, the scholars enjoy it very much. After all, they are the beneficiaries. Therefore, this book is very flattering. The other is the lives of the people. Nowadays, what officials care about is not the lives of the people, but their own political achievements. Whether it is building water conservancy projects or reclaiming agricultural and mulberry fields, they all focus on political achievements and want to make great achievements. Yuan Shu is very disgusted with this kind of behavior. He believes that the greatest achievement of an official is to let the people under his rule The people live a prosperous life and are not forced by hunger or cold.

As soon as this book came out, Yuan Zi's title appeared immediately, and Yuan Zi, like many virtuous officials, entered the Hall of Loyalty.

Under the influence of this book, Gong Yang once again became popular again, because he did not explain too much about revanchism, which made this book more acceptable to the officials. It is so strong that people often kill officials and officials, and they are not welcomed by the officials. Now this book comes at the right time! !
Yuan Zi's death gradually passed away, and everyone's attention was attracted by this book.

However, there are some people who never forget it.

Just like the prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Mastiff, since Yuan Zi passed away, he stayed in the side courtyard of Yuan Mansion all day long, shutting the door. It can be seen that Yuan Zi's death had a great impact on him, whether it was Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi. , failed to persuade him, he stayed in the house and refused to come out.

"Ma'am, I have been there eight times. Your Highness just refuses to come out. What can I do?" Zhuge Liang said helplessly. Zhuge Liang in front of him said, "You won't come out? You just came back?? That's my nephew!! If you don't go, then I'll go there and bring him out!!"

As Princess Raoyang said, she wanted to get up.

Zhuge Liang was also a little angry, and said: "He is your nephew. Is it possible that I don't care about him? He has not yet recovered from his pain and refuses to meet me. How can I convince him? This is about to give birth, I don’t feel comfortable raising the baby, and I have to move around!!”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's reprimand, Princess Raoyang stared at him with tears in her eyes, looked at her stomach, slapped her palm on it, and cursed: "It's all his fault, it's all his fault! I can't see my brother, Now I can’t even see my nephew, it’s all his fault!” She cursed, and she was about to hit again, how could Zhuge Liang bear this, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down, and said nervously: “Madam, wait a minute, wait a minute, Don't do anything, I'm going, I'm going!!!"

Zhuge Liang yelled, watching Princess Raoyang stop, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"My little niece, I didn't see it either. It's fine now, even my nephew."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go right away. Also, don't worry about Princess Changling all the time. Madam will see it next year." Zhuge Liang comforted her for a while, and then walked out of the mansion helplessly. He really didn't know how to comfort the prince. He knew in his heart that to the prince, Yuan Shu was more like his father than the emperor, just like Liu Gong was to him. He wanted to come out of such grief, Really not easy.

In the past, it took him a full year to let go of the grief and return to Luoyang with Liu Gong's legacy.

And Liu Mastiff is not very old now, how long will it take him to get rid of this grief?Zhuge Liang thought, but walked helplessly on the street. As he was walking, someone suddenly stopped in front of him. Zhuge Liang raised his head, and it was Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Army. Zhuge Liang hurriedly greeted him. Guan Yu got off his horse and returned the salute. Zhuge Liang asked in surprise: "Why are you here??"

"I asked for a day off," Guan Yu said, and said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, with some helplessness on his face, Guan Yu asked suspiciously: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so distressed? But what happened?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The matter of the prince. Since Yuan Gong passed away, the prince has stayed in the house all day and never went out. Everyone is very worried, and he doesn't see anyone else." Zhuge Liang told the story of Liu Mastiff again, Guan Yu nodded, and then Asked: "Where is the Son of Heaven?"

"What can the emperor do about this matter? He also sent Huangmen to pick him up earlier, but the prince refused to come out, and the emperor had no choice. The emperor's teacher also passed away when he was young. He also understood the grief, so he did not punish him." As Zhuge Liang said, he sighed helplessly, but Guan Yu said, "Don't worry about Kong Ming, I have a solution." Before Zhuge Liang could react, Guan Yu rode away.

Zhuge Liang watched him leave in surprise, and wanted to go back to the mansion. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and go to Yuan's mansion.

Guan Yu rode a horse and galloped all the way to the mansion of Sili Xiaowei. Sili Xiaowei was located in Luoyang. In the 12th year of Jianning, Luoyang became the governing place of Sili. door, and walked in directly. As soon as he walked in, he smelled the stench and pungent smell of wine. Guan Yu hurriedly quickened his pace and walked into the study, but there was no one. Arrived at Huaxiong.

Hua Xiong sat on the ground, sound asleep, with wine jugs around him.

Guan Yu was furious, walked up to Hua Xiong's side, and kicked him away.

Hua Xiong opened his eyes immediately, sat up staggeringly, exuded a strong smell of alcohol, his eyes were still drunk, and muttered: "Captain, don't rush, I'll keep drinking, keep drinking!! ", he said, looked up, but saw Guan Yu, he frowned, and asked with some doubts: "Changsheng?? When did you die???"

Guan Yu ignored him, and suddenly shouted: "Where is Sima Huaxiong of the Northern Army?!"

"I'm here!!" Hua Xiong suddenly jumped up and stood up straight. In an instant, he woke up from the wine, widened his eyes, looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Back then, he was drinking in the military camp. , but was often beaten, and suddenly saw Guan Yu in front of him, he shook his head again, "Changsheng?? Why are you here?" He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little sore, Guan Yu said: "His Royal Highness, these few days You stay behind closed doors all day long, grieve all day long, and I want you to persuade me, but I didn’t expect you to look like this.”

"Is there such a thing??" Hua Xiong asked in surprise, then smiled quickly, and said, "It's okay, I'll go find him. Is he in the Yuan Mansion?"

Guan Yu nodded, "You'd better tidy up well, don't make the prince dizzy and wash your body."

"Understood, you go and do your work, and I will leave this matter to me. I am an eloquent person, but this matter is not." Before Hua Xiong finished speaking, Guan Yu left in a hurry, Hua Xiong was a little disdainful Shaking his head, he went to wash up. Not long after, he left the mansion and went to Yuan Mansion. This was the first time he went to Yuan Mansion after Yuan Shu passed away. Not the slightest bit of sadness.

Zhuge Liang was sitting in the front yard, when he saw Hua Xiong barging in, he walked carelessly towards the side yard, Zhuge Liang hurriedly got up to meet him, and seeing Zhuge Liang here, Hua Xiong stopped, "Kong Ming? Here?? Why, aren’t you usually very smart? There’s nothing you can do about it??” When he asked, Zhuge Liang didn’t know how to answer, he coughed, and asked with some doubts:
"Lieutenant Hua, why haven't I seen you for half a month?? You didn't seem to be at the funeral??"

"Oh, I was too drunk that day, so I didn't come here." Hua Xiong said.

Zhuge Liang fell into a stupor, if he didn't know Hua Xiong's temperament, I'm afraid he would fight with him now, Yuan Gong passed away, as a general, if you don't come because of an important matter, it's fine, go to drink ? ?

Ignoring Zhuge Liang who was stupefied, Hua Xiong walked directly towards the side courtyard, humming a tune, quite elated.

Many servants of the Yuan Manor suppressed the anger in their hearts, stared at him coldly, and walked into the side courtyard all the way.
