Chapter 2
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Biao had [-] soldiers and ruled Jingzhou.He is elegant on the outside, but suspicious on the inside.At that time, both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao wanted to win over Liu Biao, but Liu Biao didn't know who to submit to.One day, Han Song, Liu Biao's subordinate, said, "Once Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao, he will move his troops to attack us. At that time, General, you will be hard to resist. Therefore, surrendering to Cao Cao is the best strategy." Liu Biao said, "Now the world is in chaos. , I don’t know what to do, and it’s hard for me to follow. At present, Cao Cao lives in Xuchang, how about you go and find out their reality for me?” Han Song said: “I am your servant, and I should serve you. I will go through fire and water. Also go forward bravely, without hesitation. If the general has made a decision to submit to Duke Cao, then it is absolutely correct to send me to Beijing. If you have not made up your mind, send me to Beijing. The emperor will appoint me an official, and I will be the minister of the emperor. According to morality, I can no longer serve the general. At that time, the general should not embarrass me." Liu Biao vaguely asked him to go and talk again.

After Han Song arrived in the capital, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was controlled by Cao Cao, made him the prefect of Lingling.When Liu Biao learned about it, he thought it was Han Song's rebellion against him, and planned to kill Han Song when he came back.As soon as Han Song entered, Liu Biao yelled, "Han Song is a traitor, how dare you betray me!" Han Song said, "I have already said something beforehand. Today it is the general who failed me, not I!" Liu Biao was speechless.Seeing this, Liu Biao's wife quietly remonstrated, "Han Song is an influential figure in the local area, and besides, he is justified, and killing him may not convince the public." .

Therefore, many officials once again proposed the matter of appointing officials.

The Queen Mother still disagreed, and she said righteously: "The people who propose to ennoble my brothers are all trying to curry favor with me, so as to achieve the purpose of earning high officials and rich salary for themselves. As the Queen Mother, I usually save money and live around The people who serve me are also very simple. I do this just to use my actions to make a good appearance for the people below. I thought that people from my natal family would be like me after they knew about it. But they didn’t think so and laughed at me A few days ago, I passed by my mother's house, and I saw a lot of people who came to say hello to the house. Cars and horses were constantly coming and going, like a dragon swimming in flowing water. It was very lively and prosperous. The servants in the house were dressed so well that I could even control them. Even the grooms of the carriages are ashamed of themselves. I really know them too well. They only care about their own enjoyment and don’t care about the safety of the country at all. How can I agree to give them a promotion?” After hearing these words, those who advocated Those who promoted them would never dare to mention it again.

Is there anything wrong with being a chief official today as a general of Jinwu?" Liu Gongquan said: "According to Guo Wen It is beyond reproach to be appointed as the chief official for his contribution to the country. It is just that people who heard the discussion said that Guo Ning got such an official position because he sacrificed two daughters to the palace." Wen Zong heard these words of Liu Gongquan and quickly explained Said: "Guo Ning's two daughters did not enter the palace for me, but to serve the queen mother." Liu Gongquan said: "How can I explain to everyone the suspicion of Li Xia in the melon field?"

The "Melon Field and Li Xia" quoted by Liu Gongquan comes from an ancient Yuefu titled "A Gentleman's Journey": "A gentleman is on the lookout, and is not in doubt. The melon field does not accept shoes, and Li Xia does not have a crown."
