"I think back to the Battle of Xiangfan back then. If it hadn't been for General Guan Da's command, it would have been difficult for our army to win.
The victory in that battle made Wei Wei dare not peek at our country in Jingzhou for several years. General Guan is such a man! "
A scholar wearing a turban on his head shook his head and said the above words in the excitement of wine.
When the scholar finished his words, another scholar sitting opposite him immediately echoed:
"Brother Yang, you don't know something.
General Guan Da not only had outstanding military exploits, but his loyalty was also famous all over the world. Even the dead traitor Cao Cao admired him. "
After saying these words, the scholar cited the allusion of Guan Yu's "hanging a seal and sealing gold, riding a thousand miles alone".
The wine shop is a mixed place, and of course it is not just the children of aristocratic families who can come here to drink and have fun.
Businessmen, and even peddlers with some spare money, usually come to the wine shop to relax.
For them, they may have heard Guan Yu's name before, but they must not remember it clearly.
After all, there is little information in this world, and most of them have to be busy with their lives. In the past, they really didn't have the opportunity or the inclination to pay too much attention to the so-called major events in the world.
Therefore, for them, what these two scholars said was undoubtedly novel and quite shocking.
Not to mention the people of the current generation, even the well-informed people of later generations, after hearing in detail for the first time Guan Yu's achievements for the Han Dynasty and his loyalty to Liu Bei, who would not feel yearning for it?
Gradually, many businessmen and traffickers no longer regarded what the two scholars said as a momentary anecdote.
They kept what they heard about Guan Yu's deeds in mind, thinking that they would use it to educate their children well when they returned home.
Since Guan Yu should be regarded as a role model for his children, then unconsciously, everyone in the wine shop will also feel admiration for Guan Yu.
When the mood in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, the scholar named Yang just now praised Guan Yu loudly and said:
"General Guan Da is loyal and brave, and he revolted with His Majesty's blood. He established the distinction between monarch and ministers long ago, restored the Han Dynasty in time, and established the king with every turn.
Kan is like a tiger roaring like a dragon, catching the wind and flying. His majesty shocks the whole world, and he is known as the enemy of ten thousand people.
He once served Yu Cao, but later wrote a letter and left!
The upright sedan chair is righteous and righteous, and it reaches the sky, so the Han Dynasty will not be destroyed! "
Compared to what he said just now, the scholar named Yang now spoke more highly of Guan Yu, which directly aroused cheers from everyone in the wine shop.
And when the scholar named Yang finished his words, the scholar sitting opposite him was not to be outdone:
"Emperor Wei's loyalty is known to the world, his achievements are recorded in the annals of history, there are sacrifices in the smoke, and thousands of people look up to him. Although he has passed away now, his power and power will be outstanding for a thousand years!"
Although this scholar named Du did not mention Guan Yu's name, everyone in the restaurant knew who he was praising in his words.
After the scholar surnamed Du praised Guan Yu, everyone in the wine shop became more enthusiastic.
But in the wine shop, there was one person whose expression seemed out of tune with everyone else.
Xu Ci had a look of indignation on his face. Ever since he heard two scholars with ulterior motives speaking highly of Guan Yu in the wine shop, Xu Ci had not stopped drinking.
But no matter how much he drank, Xu Ci found that he could not ignore the remarks of the two scholars.
Xu Ci didn't have a grudge against Guan Yu and couldn't stand someone praising Guan Yu. Xu Ci thought of the recent remarks in Chang'an City and knew the "rebellious heart" of the two scholars!
Xu Ci, who was deeply influenced by the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, finally couldn't suppress the indignation in his heart after finishing another glass of wine.
Xu Ci threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, then stood up and walked towards the seats where Yang and Du were sitting.
At present, due to the remarks of Yang and Du, a group of people had already gathered around them.
The angry Xu Ci was old and frail, and he finally squeezed through the crowd to stand in front of the two scholars Yang and Du.
But Xu Ci, who originally wanted to give Yang and Du a slap in the face based on his status, suddenly changed his mind after seeing their tall figures.
"Snapped"!
A crisp round of applause resounded on the table in front of Yang and Du.
Looking at the wrinkled hand on the desk, Yang and Du could not help but look at Xu Ci.
At first glance, Yang and Du did not recognize Xu Ci's identity.
Not being able to recognize him meant that Xu Ci was not a high-ranking person.
After realizing this, Yang and Du had a playful look in their eyes.
Does this old man know who they are working for?
Did he think he was your Majesty or the Prime Minister?
Although Xu Ci was old, the playful look in the eyes of Yang and Du could not escape his eyes.
The performance of the two scholars Yang and Du made Xu Ci's anger even more intense.
"Looking at how you two are dressed, you can be considered a man of distinction to me.
As a scholar of the Han Dynasty, don’t you know Taizu’s oath on the white horse?
The two of you are building momentum for General Guan Da to become king. How is this behavior any different from treason? "
Xu Ci spat out a lot of words angrily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he put a big label of rebellion on Yang and Du.
Ordinary people might be dizzy by Xu Ci's big hat, but Yang and Du would not.
Let's not talk about their family backgrounds, let's just say that their own talents and learning are enough to refute Xu Ci's remarks.
The older scholar surnamed Yang looked at the spitting old man in front of him. If it weren't for the big man's national policy of respecting the elderly, he would have gotten up and punched him with a grumpy temper.
But even though he did not physically attack Xu Ci, the scholar surnamed Yang did not want to coddle Xu Ci.
"I just spoke to my friend, and everyone present heard every word.
Everyone present can testify for me, did I even mention a single word about "professing the king"?
Since the restoration of Chang'an, His Majesty has encouraged the scholars in the field to praise those who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, so as to demonstrate the right path to the people of the world.
Is there anything in what my friends and I did that went against His Majesty’s original intention?
Could it be that you think that General Guan is not a loyal and righteous man and does not deserve my praise?
Or do you think His Majesty’s edict is wrong? "
The scholar surnamed Yang was sharp-tongued and made Xu Ci speechless in his argument.
Not only that, Xu Ci was also labeled a big label by the scholar surnamed Yang.
This made Xu Ci angry and anxious, and his whole face turned red.
But Xu Ci couldn't defend herself.
Scholars in the field built momentum for Guan Yu, and then some courtiers at court tentatively proposed to make Guan Yu king. This was a political turmoil that gradually spread in Chang'an City recently.
As a member of the imperial court, Xu Ci naturally knew that there was a huge connection between the two, but just because he knew it, it didn't mean that others knew it.
On the surface, Yang and Du were just praising Guan Yu. What's wrong with that?
Xu Ci, whose words were at a disadvantage, was about to burst into flames.
But seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Xu Ci finally chose to run away.
However, after leaving the wine shop, the anger in Xu Ci's heart did not decrease, but instead increased a lot.
Xu Ci, who felt that he was speaking out for justice, immediately had an idea - since he couldn't stop it, he would find someone who could stop it.
After making up his mind, Xu Ci quickly returned to the official office, changed into his official uniform, and then walked towards the palace city.
With the help of his status as Taichang, Xu Ci quickly entered the palace and came outside the Chancellor's Stand.
But just when Xu Ci was about to walk into the Chancery, he was stopped by the guard outside the door:
"The general has an order. No one is allowed to enter this important land of the country."
The guard's words made Xu Ci laugh angrily.
He is currently wearing an official uniform. How could ordinary people not recognize Jiu Qing's official uniform?
As a dignified person, why can’t he even enter the Chancellor’s Desk?
Xu Ci, who was overwhelmed with anger, pushed aside the guards' obstruction with one hand and strode towards the chancery.
Xu Ci's behavior caught the guard by surprise.
But even if the guard wanted to stop him, he didn't dare to be cruel because of Xu Ci's status.
Under the guard's scruples, Xu Ci broke through all the way to the lobby where Mi Yang's office was located.
But after arriving outside the lobby, Xu Ci could no longer move forward.
Because the people guarding the lobby are Mi Yang's personal guards.
As the personal bodyguards of the general, unless Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang arrive, no one in the world can make them retreat.
Seeing Mi Yang's personal guards outside the lobby blocking him, Xu Ci couldn't help but shouted to the lobby in anger:
"My minister, Xu Ci, has something urgent to ask to see the general!"
As if he was afraid that Mi Yang in the lobby wouldn't hear, Xu Ci shouted several times in a row.
What Xu Ci expected was that under his loud shouts, there was finally movement in the lobby.
I saw Ma Liang, Ma Su, Dong Yun, Fei Yi, Jiang Wan and other courtiers walking out of the lobby one after another.
When the heroes came to see Xu Ci outside the lobby, they all had worried looks in their eyes.
Ma Di even wanted to persuade Xu Ci, but before Ma Di could speak, he was pulled away by his brother Ma Liang.
There is a faint shadow of Mi Yang behind the turmoil of Guan Yu becoming king. If Zhuge Liang didn't say anything about such a major event, they would not be able to intervene easily.
After all the heroes left, Ding Feng came out and said to Xu Ciyan:
"The general invites you."
Xu Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mi Yang was finally willing to see him.
It's not that he didn't notice the strange color on the faces of Ma Su and others, but he didn't understand what the strange color meant.
Right now, he only thinks about correcting the bad habits in Chang'an City!
Xu Ci, who made up his mind, followed Ding Feng and walked towards the lobby.
Soon after, Xu Ci came to the lobby and saw Mi Yang sitting in the main seat.
When Xu Ci saw Mi Yang, Mi Yang naturally saw Xu Ci.
Mi Yang knew Xu Ci.
Xu Ci, courtesy name Rendu, was from Nanyang.
Xu Ci studied under Liu Xi, a great scholar, and was proficient in Zhengxuan Confucian classics. He studied many Confucian classics and was one of the famous scholars in the Jian'an period.
After Liu Bei pacified Shu, because the place had gone through chaos and destruction, academic matters had been neglected for a long time, so he gathered legal texts and books, eliminated various schools of thought, and summoned Xu Ci and Hu Qian to be bachelors, together with Meng Guang, Lai Min and others to take charge of the literature. Ancient books.
Although Xu Ci had no talent for governing the world, in view of Xu Ci's reputation, Liu Bei, who wanted to buy horse bones for a large sum of money, used Xu Ci repeatedly.
In the first year of Zhangwu, Xu Ci was worshiped as the prince's young master and became one of Liu Chan's teachers.
In the third year of Zhangwu, Xu Ci was promoted to Taichang in place of the deceased Yi Ji.
Since Liu Bei wanted to pay homage to his ancestors on New Year's Day after regaining Chang'an, Xu Ci, as one of the people who knew the Han family system best in the Han Dynasty, became the first batch of ministers summoned to Chang'an.
But Mi Yang also knew that in stark contrast to Xu Ci's profound knowledge, Xu Ci's character was very paranoid and narrow-minded.
In order to prove that his views were correct, Xu Ci not only criticized each other many times with many celebrities, but also performed a full martial arts show in front of Liu Bei.
It is precisely because Xu Ci has this kind of character that he was able to do what he did today by barging into the Chancellor's desk.
In recent days, no one has come to see Mi Yang due to the turmoil in the city, but as long as people with normal emotional intelligence hear the guard's words, they will leave voluntarily.
Only Xu Ci.
Mi Yang, who knew Xu Ci's character well, had no good impression of Xu Ci.
Due to etiquette, Mi Yang asked Xu Ci to sit down.
But Xu Ci didn't notice Mi Yang's cold gaze. After he took his seat, he complained angrily:
"There have been a lot of treasonous remarks circulating in the city recently. Doesn't the general know anything about this?"
"In my opinion, the general should send people to the city as soon as possible to arrest those who suggest that Guan Yu should be pursued."
"If we continue to develop according to the treacherous remarks in the city, some people with evil intentions will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, thus shaking the foundation of our great nation."
"Besides, before Your Majesty left Chang'an, he placed the political commissar of the country in the hands of the General. If Your Majesty sees Chang'an in turmoil when Your Majesty comes back, what will the General say to His Majesty?"
The more Xu Ci spoke, the angrier he became, and his own poor character made him unaware that his words were already disrespectful.
Xu Ci didn't even realize that Mi Yang's eyes were getting colder and colder.
Just as Xu Ci was chattering, Mi Yang interrupted him with a cold words:
"So, is the general's name something you can call directly?"
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Xu Ci realized his gaffe.
And at this moment, Xu Ci seemed to feel a biting coldness surrounding him.
There is obviously a stove for heating in the lobby, so where does this coldness come from?
After seeing Mi Yang's cold gaze, Xu Ci found the answer.
How could a scholar who only studied behind closed doors be able to block the aura unleashed by a famous general who had been on the battlefield for a long time?
Under Mi Yang's cold gaze, Xu Ci's body couldn't help but tremble.
Xu Ci didn't know that Mi Yang had such a cold side.
In recent years, it has been rumored throughout the government and the public that Mi Yang is like His Majesty, being lenient and loving.
Under the influence of such remarks, Xu Ci just unconsciously lowered his respect for Mi Yang in his heart.
But Xu Ci had forgotten one thing. No matter how kind and loving Mi Yang was, he was still a general who was in charge of the military and political affairs of a country. He was a general who could determine his future with just one word without providing any evidence!
Just as the fear that suddenly rose in Xu Ci's heart became more and more serious as his arms trembled, he saw Mi Yang getting up and walking slowly towards him after chuckling.
Every time Mi Yang took a step closer, Xu Ci felt the pressure on him getting bigger and bigger, as if what was coming towards him now was not a person, but a mountain that could only be looked up at.
Arriving in front of and behind Xu Ci, Mi Yang lowered her body and approached Xu Ci, and whispered in Xu Ci's ear:
"Do I need to tell you what I have to say to Your Majesty?"
"In addition, the ancestor who felt alone should be posthumously crowned king.
What, do you have any opinion? "
Xu Ci is Taichang, one of the Nine Qings.
But for Mi Yang now, so what?
I have killed all the generals, let alone nine ministers.
Today's chapter.
You can join the group through the last column of the book introduction. After all, if you want to send me a blade, it is more convenient to find me in the group.
During major holidays, I sometimes send out red envelopes in the group.
The red envelope is not very big, but it is a little bit of gratitude after all, because I regard you as a very good partner.
Love you.
