Chapter 351: What happened in the early years of Jian'an

Lusu Lu Zijing!

He is from Dongcheng, Linhuai, Xuzhou. He was 25 years old and studied under Zheng Xuan, a doctor of the Six Classics. He is a straightforward person and is good at talking.

This person has a great idea and is very wise...

His family was rich and rich, and he was very famous in Xu and Yang. Tao Qian wanted to invite him several times, but was politely rejected. Last year, Liu Bei forced Xuzhou, and Lu Su moved his family to Changshe because he was dissatisfied with this person's reputation.

Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was a very arrogant person.

Among the counselors in Xuchang, there were only one or two people who could be attracted by him, and the others were all unsatisfactory.

It’s not that Guo Jia’s ability is so powerful.

His strength lies in his planning and can be improved in all aspects, but he is not suitable for being a coach.

If we use later generations, Guo Jia is a staff officer, and an extremely experienced staff officer.

I believe this Lu Su will not be bad if he is praised by Guo Jia.

Cao Cao asked immediately: "Wang Xiao, how should I drive him out of the mountain?"

The so-called Pi means to enlist Pi. This was also an important way to select counselors at that time.

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Any talented person has a strange temperament. Lu Su has been observing for a long time, and is not as good as playing and decoration, and does not like common things. Moreover, he has a lofty temperament, so he should not easily resist him... However, this person values ​​friendship and friendship. The lord can only come to the door in person and make friends with him, and he should be open and honest, so that he can move his heart. If he likes it, he will be invited to come out of the mountain."

Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.

Is this Lu Su really worth his efforts?

You should know that since he started his business, he has only personally invited two people, one is the deceased Xi Zhicai, and the other is Guo Jia.

And according to Guo Jia's opinion, if you want to invite Lu Su out of the mountain, you may have more thoughts.

Guo Jia did not persuade him anymore, but just looked at Cao Cao with a smile, gently swaying the folding fan in his hand, waiting for an answer.

"What do you like about Lu Su?"

"This person loves reading, and even if he rides on a horse, he will never put it down. The lord has just made notes on the "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu", why not use this as bait and ask him to read it."

Cao Cao did not make a note of a "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu", and based on the original Thirteen Chapters of Sun Wu, he also made many developments. This book, known as "The New Book of Meng De" in later generations, was a work that Cao Cao was extremely proud of.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao said, "I was just about to ask someone to comment, but I was able to kill two birds with one stone."

The meaning of this statement is to recognize what Guo Jia said, and after deciding to plan his life, Lu Su would come out.

*******

How Cao Cao asked Lu Su to come out of the mountain? Let's put it aside for the time being.

But in the Han'an city of the Western Regions, Cai Yong sat upright in his garden, looking at the spring scenery all over the garden, drinking a cup of wine, and stroking the piano. The sound of the piano was melodious, echoing in the sky like the sound of nature, and he looked at himself and happy.

Next to him, a beautiful woman in the palace dress was sitting upright.

The cloudy hair is tall, the phoenix hairpin is inlaid with a night pearl on the hairpin. The round luster reflects the pink face and adds charm.

"Boji, why don't you want to go to Chang'an with Zhaoji and the others?"

The beautiful woman was the mother of Liu Bian, the King of the Western Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager He. Since the death of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, Empress Dowager He lived in the palace with widowhood and experienced many hardships. However, those hardships have not made her look haggard, but she has become more dignified and beautiful.

Although Empress Dowager He was born into the Tu family, his qualities were not bad, and he was even more outstanding than many famous scholars with false reputations. No wonder, being able to enter the Han court and become the empress dowager who was mother-in-law in the world was not just based on her face and figure. What was required here was something that could not be explained in words.

Since arriving in the Western Regions, the Empress Dowager has been very comfortable with her life in the Western Regions.

Although the north wind was fierce, there was no such thing as the court that we had fought for and were worried all day long.

In terms of seniority, Cai Yong is Liu Hong's teacher.

But this did not hinder the Empress Dowager's favor for Cai Yong.

After the old man arrived in the Western Regions, his life was very comfortable. His daughter had a good home and his son-in-law was very capable. The only thing that had some shortcomings was that there were too few people in the Western Regions who could talk to him.

The Queen Mother is an excellent listener.

In terms of knowledge, Empress Dowager He and Cai Yong are one heaven and one earth. But the Empress Dowager has been in the deep palace for a long time, and her ability to observe and speak with considerate words can be compared to ordinary people? Often, just one sentence can tell Cai Yong's heart. Although Cai Yong is old, he was a handsome man back then, but now he still has a rosy face and has a unique demeanor.

One of these two people is intentional and the other is unintentional…

Anyway, as long as that layer of paper is not pierced, others will not say anything.

The King of the Western Han Dynasty was about to set up his way to Chang'an, and Cai Yan and others would go to Chang'an with Liu Bian.

But Cai Yong didn't want to go back!

When the empress dowager asked, he whispered: "What are you going back? How free I have lived here? Why should I go back and be looked at by those people? Old man Lu left, Yuan Zhuo was also sick... Old friends in the past died and scattered, and the rest were either enemies or strangers. What's the point of going back? Haha, it's better to stay here and live happily."

"That Ai family..."

The Empress Dowager wanted to say: What should I do with the Ai family?

But this sentence seemed a bit ambiguous, and when it came to his mouth, it turned out, "Who will give me guidance from the king of Ai's family?"

"Isn't Xingzu here?"

Cai Yong took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Is the Empress Dowager worried that Xiping would be detrimental to the King of Han?"

Queen Mother He really has such an idea.

These days, many heroes have emerged in the world. Although Dong Qi is nothing now, what if in the future...

With Cai Yong here, at least Dong Qi could be somewhat restrained. Lu Zhi left and Cai Yong was not here, so who could suppress Dong Qi?

Cai Yong sighed, "The Empress Dowager, the old minister still understands Xiping's character. He values ​​friendship and knows the importance of severity... But the King of the Western Han Dynasty has seemed to be very close to those monks for a while, and I am afraid there will be trouble in the future."

The monks Cai Yong mentioned refer to those Kucha and monks from Kushan.

In fact, Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains as early as the Ming Dynasty. Even in the Zhou Dynasty earlier, Buddhism entered the Central Plains through informal channels one after another, but the influence of Buddhism at that time was not very big.

During the reign of Emperor Ming, the Indian monks Zhu Falan and Shemoteng translated the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" in Luoyang.

The Han Dynasty also set up the Honglu Temple for Buddhism, which was the Baima Temple in Luoyang, which was famous all over the world in later generations.

Although it is not very popular, it has begun to promote to a certain extent.

Cai Yong thinks he understands Dong Qi!

And he also heard his daughter say that Dong Chu’s views on those religions.

It is undeniable that the Buddhist scriptures can be quite confusing. Although they encourage people to do good deeds, they are still a little vague and empty.

He knew that the monks in Kucha had collected a lot of money and food by relying on the worship of those believers.

And this is exactly what Dong Qi dislikes the most. He hates people who get nothing for nothing and the emptiness of putting hope in the next life. If Dong Qi and Liu Bian have conflicts in the future, then the most likely thing is here.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she frowned.

She did not realize that there was anything wrong with Buddhism. On the contrary, wasn’t it a good thing to persuade people to do good?

"Boji, is this really serious?"

Cai Yong smiled bitterly, "Well, it may be serious if you say it is serious, but it is not serious... Haha, I can't say it well. But I believe that Xiping will have a sense of proportion. The Empress Dowager does not need to worry about this. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

Yes, I have been fond of my son for the rest of my life!

Queen Mother He also felt very tired...

"After you set off tomorrow, I will go west to Kangju. I heard that Ziyu and the others are doing very well there, and they are about to reach the capital of Kangju King... Haha, Xiping said that after Kangju, it is time to rest, and then go west, there will be a vast world. I want to go and see the customs and customs there. I have been in the Central Plains for a lifetime. Only when I get old can I realize that the world is so wide. While I can still move, I want to travel all over the world and live my life!"

"You are leaving the Western Regions?"

Queen Mother He felt aroused her heart, biting her red lips gently, revealing a deep thought.

Cai Yong smiled slightly, drank the grape wine in the jade cup, and sang: "Grape wine is luminous, and the pipa is urging immediately. Don't laugh at me when I lie drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from the war in ancient times... How many people have returned from the war in ancient times?"

The singing is hoarse, but it has a kind of wisdom that has experienced vicissitudes and has insight into the lust in the world.

The Empress Dowager was listening quietly beside Cai Yong, and couldn't help but... she was a little crazy!

*******

When I returned to Han'an Palace, it was already dark.

The palace was brightly lit, and the palace ladies and girls were extremely busy.

I will set off for Chang'an tomorrow, but I find that this gift is endless, no matter how I prepare.

People who have been in Chang'an are naturally very happy; people who have never been to Chang'an are also extremely happy.

Chang'an is the center of the Han Dynasty!

I heard that the city is very big, I heard that it is very prosperous, I heard that...

Looking at the cheerful people, Empress Dowager He had no intention of being happy at all.

I don’t know when I left, but I will see Mr. Cai again?

"Where is Your Highness, the King of Han?"

"Qi Biography, Your Highness is in Qing'an Palace, listening to Master Molan's lectures, and there are also Taifu Yang and others accompanying you."

Empress Dowager He frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but remember what Cai Yong said in the afternoon.

To identify Dong Qi needs to revive the Han Dynasty, and Dong Qi also needs to identify to establish merits. These two were originally an excellent pair of partners, but...
