Yuan Shao Receiving the Title Liu Xun and Mu Luoshen
(shortcut key:
Today was a special day in Yuan Shao's residence in Jizhou.
Zhang Song represented Liu Xun and came to Jizhou. He represented Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and conferred the title of Jizhou Governor on Yuan Shao. At the same time, he expressed his willingness to choose the most outstanding of Yuan Shao's sons to marry Princess Yangping.
As soon as these words left his mouth, the Yuan residence immediately boiled over.
Tian Feng firmly opposed Yuan Shao accepting the title of Emperor Xian of Han. He considered the big picture and strongly advocated an alliance with Liu Bei.
"My lord, Liu Xun is now very powerful. He has already occupied Yizhou, Han, and Luoyang. He has countless advisors and generals under him.”
" It's rare for Liu Bei to set up another court, so he can use this opportunity to fight against Liu Xun. At this time, we must not accept the title of Emperor Xian of Han. Otherwise, Hebei will be in danger," Tian Feng advised bitterly.
This Tian Feng was also the same. If you were to reason, then so be it. Why did you say that Hebei was dangerous? Yuan Shao did not say it on the surface, but he was already somewhat unhappy in his heart.
Observing Yuan Shao's expression, Guo Tu could see that Yuan Shao was unhappy and immediately retorted,""I believe that in today's world, Emperor Xian is the true ruler. My lord, accepting the title of Jizhou's governor is a legitimate act, and only then will it be in line with my lord's status as the fourth generation and third duke.”
Yuan Shao twirled his beard and smiled, clearly very satisfied with Guo Tu's words.
This ape fart made Yuan Shao extremely comfortable. (East window cutting candle note: Originally it was "flattery", but now it was Yuan Shao,"ape" and "yuan" homonym, so he took the initiative to change it to "ape fart".）
Guo Tu continued,""Moreover, the princess will marry into the lord's family. In the future, with a wave of our arms, heroes will gather in the world.”
Feng Ji, who was on good terms with Guo Tu, took the opportunity to say,""Guo Tu's words are reasonable. My lord, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Tian Feng wanted to say more, but Yuan Shao interrupted him impatiently." It's settled then. Let's welcome the Xian Emperor's envoy grandly."”
Everything went smoothly.
Zhang Song's words were like a lotus flower, making Yuan Shao's heart burst with joy, and he became even more confident in supporting Liu Xun.
When it came to choosing which of his three sons to marry the princess, Yuan Shao had spent a lot of effort. He had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang. None of them had married.
Logically speaking, the eldest should be given to Yuan Tan.
However, Yuan Shao did not like his eldest son very much. He felt that he was not like him in many aspects.
Yuan Shao liked his youngest son Yuan Shang the most. He wanted to give the princess to his youngest son, but he was afraid that his other two sons would say that he was biased.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shao decided to give the princess to his youngest son, Yuan Shang. The reason was that it was Emperor Xian's intention.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. In the end, the truth of this matter was still known by everyone.
Half a month later, Xu Huang led the army to escort Princess Yangping. However, this princess was incomparably beautiful, and everyone who saw her was shocked.
Originally, the three sons had a grudge against each other. After this incident, the three brothers had an even greater gap.
The root of the disaster was buried just like that.
Liu Xun even asked Zhang Song to bring Yuan Shao a carved bed. He had seen it in the museum in his previous life and had a craftsman replicate it according to his memory. It was extremely exquisite.
In this era, that was the highest level of craftsmanship.
Yuan Shao was full of praise for this bed and loved it very much.
Liu Xun used different methods to recruit the special disciples of the various feudal lords. He also won over Kong Rong of the North Sea, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong, and others, completing Pang Tong's initial strategy of " making friends far away and attacking near."
A month later, Liu Xun welcomed a special guest.
" Reporting to Great General, a caravan from Jizhou, claiming to be from Jizhou's Zhen Family, has come to see you on behalf of Yuan Shao," the guard reported.
" Oh, Jizhou's Zhen Family is a famous family in the world. Together with Yizhou's Zhuo Family and Xuzhou's Mi Family, they are known as the three biggest families in the world," Liu Xun said." Please come in."”
A young man in his early twenties walked briskly into Liu Xun's residence.
" I am Zhen Yangwei. Greetings, General," the young man said politely.
" This person's name is so weird. Of all the names you can call yourself, you're actually called True Impotent." Liu Xun laughed to himself, but his expression was serious." Brother Zhen, you're welcome. I've long heard of your Zhen family. I've seen your extraordinary bearing today."”
"Great General, you are too polite. Yang Wei is here on behalf of Yuan Shao to express his gratitude for the bed that General gave us last time. At the same time, he wants a few more beds for his favorite concubines, sons, and subordinates.”
" That's easy to say," Liu Xun said straightforwardly. He despised Yuan Shao very much in his heart. He was greedy for pleasure and was not the material to do great things.
" Yang Wei also has a selfish motive. He wants to cooperate with the Great General and sell the beds, tables, and chairs for the Great General," Zhen Yangwei suggested.
" It's just a small matter. It's easy to talk about," Liu Xun said. He did not expect that the thing he came up with on a whim would become so popular in this world.
Looking at Zhen Yangwei, he suddenly thought of a question.
In his previous life, he had read Cao Zhi's " Ode to the Luo God ". The prototype of the Luo River Goddess described in it was said to be called Zhen Mi. It should be the Zhen family of Jizhou.
The original Zhen Mi should have become Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law. Later, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi looked at her at the same time, and Cao Pi took the initiative to pluck the peach.
Cao Zhi saw that the person he liked had become his sister-in-law, but he was too embarrassed to hook up with her, so he could only write "Ode to the Luo God" to relieve his worries.
"Fleeting like a startled swan, graceful like a swimming dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemum, luxuriant spring pine. It is like the light clouds covering the moon, floating like the wind returning snow. From a distance, it was as bright as the sun rising in the morning. When you look closely, it is like a lotus emerging from the green waves. The length of the hair is fine and the length of the hair is short. The shoulders are as if cut, and the waist is as white as usual. The neck is long and beautiful, the white and pure are exposed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead is not resisted. Her hair was in a bun, her eyebrows were straight, her red lips were bright, and her white teeth were bright.”
As long as he thought of the sentences in the Ode to the Luo God, he would feel his eyes burning.
After making up his mind, Liu Xun pretended to ask casually,""I heard that your Zhen family has a woman called Zhen Mi. She has a beautiful face that can make fish sink and geese fall. I wonder if Brother Zhen knows her?”
"Zhen Mi is my younger sister. She is twenty-eight years old and has been waiting for a long time. She usually doesn't go out of the house. Many people in Jizhou don't know that I have such a sister.”Zhen Yangwei asked curiously.
"Well, I heard about it from a friend by chance. "That friend mentioned your sister and said that her beauty is unparalleled in the world. She's also extremely talented, so she couldn't help but be curious," Liu Xun concealed.
"What did your friend say?”
"Fleeting like a startled swan, graceful like a swimming dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemum, luxuriant spring pine. It is like the light clouds covering the moon, floating like the wind returning snow. From a distance, it was as bright as the sun rising in the morning. When you look closely, it is like a lotus emerging from the green waves. The length of the hair is fine and the length of the hair is short. The shoulders are as if cut, and the waist is as white as usual. The neck is long and beautiful, the white and pure are exposed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead is not resisted. Her hair was in a bun, her eyebrows were straight, her red lips were bright, and her white teeth were bright.”
"This is it. Speaking of this sister of mine, she has been with me since she was young. She is proficient in all things, and few people can compare to her in terms of appearance and talent. However, he was too conceited and disdained ordinary people. The last time Yuan Benchu's third son, Yuan Shang, sent someone to propose marriage, he was rejected.”
"If it wasn't for the fact that my Zhen family is considered a great clan in Hebei Province and has many good friends all over the world, I wouldn't have been able to do so. "Moreover, Yuan Shang married the princess and gave up on my sister. I'm afraid my sister will cause us trouble." Zhen Yangwei sighed when he mentioned his sister.
"Yuan Benchu has already occupied two prefectures. His son is considered a genius. Why isn't your sister tempted?”
"My sister has always had the ambition to marry a hero who can bring peace and stability to the country. Although Yuan Shang wasn't bad, he wasn't worthy of his sister's attention. My father took great care of this Palm Pearl and never forced her, which resulted in her willful personality.”
" My sister did mention the general when we were chatting." Zhen Yangwei scratched his head as if he remembered something.
"Your sister also knows that I, Liu Xun, exist in this world?”Liu Xun asked curiously.
"Our Zhen family has been a merchant for generations and has traveled to every corner of the Han Dynasty. We know the local customs and strange stories like the back of our hands.”
"There was once when we talked about the heroes of the world.”
"As for the Yangtze River, the new waves push on the previous ones, and the wind and rain always blow away the wind and rain. The heroes of the younger generation are the ones who lead the coquettish in this year.”
"Which young heroes did your sister mention?”Liu Xun wanted to know how a young lady would evaluate a hero.
"Sun Ce of River East was a brave and unparalleled man. When my sister talked about him, she said that he was just a man of courage, lacking talent and was slightly inferior. Zhuge Liang was famous all over the world, but his sister said that he was just a scholar, but in the end, he was just someone else's slave. Cao Zhicai was famous all over the world, but when his sister talked about him, she pouted and said that he showed off his abilities and did not know how to hide his abilities. In the end, he would not be able to achieve great things.”
"These people above are all outstanding talents. Your sister actually doesn't like them. Then how did he evaluate me?”Liu Xun said.
"When my sister talked about the general, she only said that this person was on par with the three Cao and seven sons. His martial arts were enough to stabilize the country. He had hidden his strength and bided his time for twenty years just to amaze the world with one brilliant feat.”
"Your sister said that my martial arts are enough to stabilize the country. Have you read about my talent, which is enough to be on par with the Three Caos and Seven Sons?”Liu Xun did not believe it.
"Great General, may I ask if you have written a four-character poem called 'Overlooking the Ocean'?”Zhen Yangwei asked.
"There is such a thing, but only Zhuo Sijun knows about it? When did your sister find out?" Liu Xun said.
"The Zhuo family has caravans all over the world and has business dealings with our Zhen family. My sister learned about this from the Zhuo family.”
"My sister said that this poem was grand and had a lofty artistic conception. The person who wrote it had the ambition to swallow the world. It was his greatest regret that he could not travel with this person in this life.”
He didn't expect that a plagiarized poem would attract a young girl fan.
However, this girl was the prototype of the legendary Goddess Luo Shui. He did not know how the story would develop.
Now that Liu Xun had Zhuo Sijun and Lu Qiling by his side, although Zhao Yun was not one yet, she would be one of Liu Xun's men sooner or later.
Zhang Lu's daughter, Zhang Ruyu, also looked good.
Liu Xun felt that the flowers were mesmerizing.
Zhen Yangwei added," I'm not good at other things except for my memory. I've already memorized the few lines of the poem that the great general used to describe my sister. When I return this time, I must recite it for her.”
"Fleeting like a startled swan, graceful like a swimming dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemum, luxuriant spring pine. It is like the light clouds covering the moon, floating like the wind returning snow. From a distance, it was as bright as the sun rising in the morning. When you look closely, it is like a lotus emerging from the green waves. The length of the hair is fine and the length of the hair is short. The shoulders are as if cut, and the waist is as white as usual. The neck is long and beautiful, the white and pure are exposed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead is not resisted. Her hair was in a bun, her eyebrows were straight, her red lips were bright, and her white teeth were bright.”
Zhen Yangwei shook his head and chanted.
This Zhen Yangwei was truly a genius. He could actually recite the poem that Liu Xun had plagiarized from Cao Zhi word for word.
