Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 78
Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin.But for the sake of the king, I have been pondering it so far.

Yo-yo Luming, the apple of the wild food.I have guests, harp blowing Sheng.

It's like a moon, when can I stop?Worry can't be cut off from it.

The more you pass through the mountains, the uselessness exists.Qikuo talks about banquet, thinking about old grace.

The moon is scarce, and the black magpie flies south.Three turns around the tree, where is the branch to rely on?

Mountains never get too high, and waters never get too deep.The Duke of Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to its heart.

——What do you guys think? "

The shed suddenly became very quiet, only the sound of "Hula Hula" from the green gauze curtains blowing on all sides could be heard.

"Nice poem!"

"Majestic and solemn!"

"The generosity is touching!"

……

The cheers in the four seats were loud, like waves, stirring for a long time.That Ma Teng also praised in a loud voice like a bell: "Master Prime Minister, this poem is really well written-even I, an illiterate Kansai old man, can't help but feel the blood rushing in my chest and the pride burst out!"

Cao Cao listened to the thunderous praises from all around, stroked his beard with one hand, and proudly nodded to all his officials, as if his brows were full of smiles.

At this moment, Kong Rong's cold and powerful voice suddenly broke the applause: "Prime Minister Cao's poem is well written, but unfortunately the artistic conception is a bit unlucky..."

As soon as he said this, the four people were astonished, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all pale.

Seeing that Xun Yu's complexion changed, he reprimanded Kong Rong from a distance: "Doctor Kong is afraid that he has too much to drink again? Let the servants around help him to the table."

When Kong Rong heard Xun Yu's scolding, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and some starlight flashed in his eyes-finally he gritted his teeth and let it go, and said slowly: "Poems are like gold and jade, Everyone can be rewarded. How can flaws be concealed? Leave it to those who know!"

Xun Yu didn't care about him, he just urged the attendants to come up and help him out quickly.Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he was thinking whether he should go forward and follow them to help Kong Rong - in a blink of an eye, he saw that Yang Xiu had already stood up and walked towards Kong Rong with Xin Pi.For some reason, a flash of light flashed in Sima Yi's mind, and he secretly kept an eye on Cao Cao who was sitting high on the square couch made of purple wood.I saw that his complexion was as deep as the sea at this moment, and there was not even a slight wave of waves appearing.Sima Yi thought about it, but he didn't stand up.

"What a 'how can flaws be concealed? Leave it to those who know'! Xin Pi, Yang Xiu, you stand down." Cao Cao raised his right hand, and the court immediately fell silent, and the attendants who were summoned by Xun Yu to the door of the hall were also shocked. He bowed his back and stepped back.His eyes were shining like lightning, so direct that others dare not look at each other. He stared at Kong Rong's face for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with this "Duan Ge Xing" of the truth? Please give me your advice, Doctor Kong. "

Without fear, Kong Rong met Cao Cao's scorching eyes, straightened his body, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "This "Duan Ge Xing" written by the Prime Minister is elegant in style and profound in charm, and it is indeed the best in poetry. However, judging from the artistic conception of the whole poem, the prime minister first had the indulgence of "drinking wine as a song, playing the lute and playing the sheng", and then changed into the comfort of "crossing the fields and enjoying the banquet", and finally One turn turns into the loneliness of "Three turns around the tree, what branch can I rely on?"... The literary atmosphere contained in each sentence is ups and downs, and it is getting worse. What is the ominous omen of this poem? Could it be that God secretly used this poem to warn the prime minister that he must be restrained from fullness, respect and self-defense, and respect the superior and the inferior?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao silently stroked the strands of beard and beard on his chest, his face sank like a pond, thoughtful, and remained silent for a long time.After about half a cup of tea, he raised his palms high and slapped them slowly: "Very good, very good. The truth is very grateful to Dr. Kong for his profound teachings—that's it, to show the truth With the determination and sincerity of "abstinence from fullness, respect and self-defense, respect to the superior and the inferior", I voluntarily resigned the fiefdom of Wuping County bestowed by His Majesty, and dedicated it to the Imperial Palace as His Majesty's exclusive rent-collecting gift. Yuchan...what do you think Dr. Kong thinks?"

"That's very good!" Kong Rong immediately interjected, "Your Prime Minister's move is in line with the heart of heaven and the will of the people, and is very full of the style of a virtuous prime minister—Kong Rong thanked the Prime Minister on behalf of the people of the country! Everything depends on the heart of the Prime Minister Be the same, be the same, keep the festivals as the same! If this is the case, the society will be blessed! The world will be blessed!"

Then, he stood up, bowed deeply to Cao Cao and all the officials present, and said calmly: "Kong lost his temper because of drinking today, and he has lost the gentleness and harmony of a gentleman. The prime minister and all the gentlemen laugh at you." Kong Mou was overwhelmed with fear, so he resigned respectfully and left, and hope that the prime minister and all the kings will be sympathetic."

After saying that, he walked slowly towards the gate of the shed.Behind him, there was a long, inexplicable silence.

As soon as he walked to the door of the shed, the red crane-shaped mutton fat jade pendant on his waist suddenly fell to the ground, and it shattered into several pieces with a "ding dong".

Jia Xu, a regular attendant on horseback riding in the left seat, frowned slightly, but finally couldn't hold back, and said slowly: "Doctor Kong, you have to be careful, your jade pendant is broken!"

When Kong Rong heard the words, the steps that were about to step out of the hall door were affirmed.He stood there silently for a while, never turned his head, looked out, but replied in a deep voice: "Although my jade is crisp and fragile, it cannot be changed to white; although the stone from other mountains is hard and wear-resistant , and ultimately lose the quality of jade!"

"Oh?" Jia Xu raised her eyebrows, but her cheeks gradually became hot.He knew that this was Kong Rong secretly ridiculing his "five-surnamed family slave" and the past of his ministers' endless festivals, and he was secretly angry.So, he cast his eyes slantingly at Cao Cao, and sighed leisurely: "No matter how good jade is, if it cannot be worn by others, it is a kind of relief if it is broken. It can neither be worn nor broken—— Then it can only be used as a sacrificial vessel in the ancestral temple!"

"That's right, that's right. This is exactly what I want!" After hearing this, Kong Rong laughed, stopped answering, flicked his sleeves, and left.

As soon as he went out, Xun Yu's face straightened, and he slowly scolded Jia Xu: "Jia Jun, what you said is a little too thin..."

Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao from a distance, but said with a smile to Xun Yu: "Mr. Xun Ling, don't take it too seriously. Just now, Jia was just following Dr. Kong's own words."

Cao Cao's eyes met his eyes slightly in mid-air, and then moved away from each other.He had a gloomy face and kept stroking his beard with his hands, only nodding silently to Jia Xu.

Sima Yi listened to Jia Xu's salty and non-salty words at the long table, and cold sweat dripped from the corners of his forehead.I have heard for a long time that this "strategic genius" Jia Xu is full of tricks and tricks, but seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation!He actually hung the sharp white blade on Kong Rong's neck while keeping his composure on his face. This kind of slyness is really chilling.In this prime minister's mansion, there are indeed masters like clouds and talents like stars, and there are still many things that I have to study hard.

Xun Yu also noticed that Cao Cao's expression was not quite right, so he arched his hands and said to Cao Cao solemnly: "My lord, although Dr. Kong's words are wrong, I hope you will forgive me. Back then, Dr. Kong spoke bluntly to General He Jin, the Prime Minister has seen it in person. He Jin had the idea of ​​reckless punishment at that time, and Xun once said something to persuade him, "Kong Jun has a high virtue and is famous all over the world. If the general intends to make resentment against this person, people from all over the world will know it." There is no one who does not lead them away. It is better to show courtesy because of this, so that it can be shown widely in the sea.' How can he be so rude and vulgar that he can finally be relieved and respect Dr. Confucius, not to mention the magnanimity and tolerance of the prime minister, the abyss and the sea? Today, Xun is still using the advice of the day to return to the prime minister, and please honor the prime minister!"

Cao Cao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, looked sideways at Xun Yu for a moment, then laughed and said, "Where did your lord Lingjun say this? Dr. Kong's admonishment and advice just now are the 'bitter medicine' for the truth. It's not enough to thank you for the truth, how could he think about it? You are worrying too much..."

When he said this, the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the audience immediately relaxed.

Xun Yu stared at Cao Cao with half-belief for a while, then turned his head and stared at Xi Ji who was sitting beside him, and said meaningfully: "In that case, Xun will thank Prime Minister Cao for his tolerance on behalf of Dr. Kong." Thank you... Xi Jun, you are familiar with the scriptures, you should know that there is a saying in "Huangshi Gong? Three Strategies" that "injury to the sage will affect the third generation"?"

"Hmm... Lord Ling Jun is right, right." Xi Xi's face turned a dark purple for some reason, and he raised his glass to pay respects to Xun Yu, taking advantage of the situation to divert the conversation, "Come on Come on, come on, Ximou offers a toast to Lord Lingjun for his silent contribution to appease the ministers and Ning Yizhong..."

One bite per person
"Oh! Oh!" Ma Teng, who was sitting opposite Xun Yu, suddenly stretched out his palm and slapped his right knee, and shouted loudly, "Ma Mou only cared about drinking for fun, but forgot one important thing!"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and said with a faint smile, "What's the matter, General Ma?"

"My lord, please allow Ma to tell me later." Ma Teng clasped his fists at Cao Cao and shouted to his servants standing outside the shed, "Wait, bring in that silver box!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and the servant of Ma's mansion put a silver box on the table in front of Ma Teng.He held up the silver box with both hands respectfully, and presented it to Cao Cao: "This is a mere gift from Ma to the prime minister, and I hope you can accept it!"

Cao Cao gave a slight signal, and Simpi took the silver box from the side, and opened it in front of him, only to see that it was filled with a box of thick crystal liquid that looked like milk, not milk, or pulp, and it was completely white. , Sweet and fragrant, it is really attractive.

"This is..." Cao Cao couldn't help being startled.

"Prime Minister, this is a delicious delicacy unique to our frontier - fresh milk crisp!" Ma Teng smiled and introduced to him carefully, "This milk crisp is produced by Saibei Huaniu. It tastes sweet and delicious. , Fragrant and pleasant, it is the most precious treasure for cultivating vitality and nourishing the body. Your Excellency, you will know after a taste."

"Oh! Fresh milk shortbread? Can something like this be squeezed out of the cow?" Cao Cao looked at the box of fresh milk shortbread carefully for a while, wanting to eat it with a spoon, but he was afraid that there might be poison in the fresh milk shortbread. ; Want to put it down and not eat, but also afraid of being looked down upon by others and ridiculed for being timid.After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote the three small characters "Yihe Crisp" on the side of the silver box, and then told Simpi, "Send it to all the gentlemen here to have a look."

Everyone looked at the fresh milk crisps in the silver box one by one, and they all sighed unceasingly, passed them all the way down, and finally arrived at the table of Yang Xiu and Sima Yi.
