Chapter 38 Zhuge Xuan

Time flies, and it is the day of rest in a blink of an eye.

That morning, the weather was gloomy and it was hard to see the brightness. In this season, there were more than twenty days in Changsha in a month either cloudy or rainy. The number of times the sun appeared can be counted by fingers. Liu Jing, who was a northerner in his previous life, really liked the humid and rainy climate of Changsha.

After the meal, Liu Jing estimated that Zhuge Liang's family should have finished breakfast, so he went out.

Duting is located in Guonan, Linxiang, only a few hundred steps away from the county government.

Duting is not like the wild pavilion outside the city. It is an important place for the city to hold major events. Luoyang's Duting can even involve the national level and affect the rise and fall of the country.

For example, when the foreign relatives Dou Wu joined forces with the party leader Chen Fan and others to plan to kill eunuchs and lead thousands of five Northern Army soldiers to station in Duting in Luoyang. As a result, the eunuchs skillfully borrowed foreign troops and killed them under Duting, which caused the far-reaching second party and fining disaster.

The first party and finite disaster occurred during the reign of Emperor Huan of Han. At that time, Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, was in his prime and firmly grasped supreme power. The eunuchs were just a knife in his hand. Therefore, the party and finite disaster was in a controllable range from beginning to end and did not hurt the foundation of the country.

The second party and bribery disaster occurred in the early days of Emperor Ling of Han. At that time, Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong was an ignorant boy at the age of 11. He had no power in his hand and controlled the eunuchs like a doll. The eunuchs held the emperor hostage and held Tianxian. The second party and bribery led by them waved the butcher knife at the scholars, which suddenly shook the country.

The decline of the Han Dynasty and the Second Party and Fines were definitely one of the main reasons.

Linxiang Du Pavilion is not as large as Luoyang Du Pavilion, and can also accommodate hundreds or thousands of people. There are tall walls and hundreds of houses around it, which is hidden in the city.

When Liu Jing arrived at Duting, he found Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Jun was waiting at the door of Duting. He immediately accelerated his pace and approached and asked, "Kong Ming, how long have you been waiting here?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and replied, "I haven't waited for long."

Liu Jing smiled. Zhuge Liang's words were probably untrue. He asked again: "Kong Ming, has his uncle's health improved again?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "I can walk freely, but my body is still a little weak and I can't stand the wind. I still need to rest in the room for a while."

Liu Jing remembered that Zhuge Xuan died of illness after a few years after he went to Xiangyang, so he specifically reminded Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, don't rush to leave for Xiangyang first. You must let Uncle Ling fully take care of his body, otherwise once the body leaves hidden dangers, it will be too late to regret it."

Seeing that Liu Jing's expression and words were particularly serious, Zhuge Liang gradually realized the seriousness of the matter and realized something: "My uncle really wants to set off as soon as possible. Zhongda's reminder is very urgent. It seems that he needs to persuade him more."

Seeing that this incident attracted Zhuge Liang's attention, Liu Jing stopped talking. While following Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun's brothers walked into the Duting Pavilion, he asked, "By the way, Kong Ming, how can you drink?"

"It's OK." Zhuge Liang replied very modestly. In fact, he grew up in Qilu since childhood. He was not very old and had a good alcohol tolerance. However, although he likes to drink, he does not like to drink. The reason is that he is a person with strong self-control and does not like the feeling of losing his mind after being drunk. He believes that drinking should be controlled, and you can enjoy it all your energy, but not be confused.

"I have a rare rest today. I have a banquet at the Shinan Tavern. If Kong Ming has nothing else to do, let me go with me."

"No." Zhuge Liang agreed happily.

Zhuge Xuan is a famous scholar in Langya, a high-ranking official of two thousand stones. Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, visited more than once, and expressed deep concern. He was not blind and naturally knew how to treat people. Now Zhuge's family lives in a two-story attic with a unique courtyard, which is quite peaceful.

Zhuge Xuan was sick and could not enter and exit the hall. The meeting location between the two parties was changed to the dormitory on the second floor.

When Liu Jing arrived, in addition to Zhuge Xuan, there were two tall and beautiful girls in the room. They were between 28 and 29, wearing exquisitely textured and brightly colored wide-sleeved robes, with slings hanging on one side, with exquisite jade ornaments on it. This was one of the most popular hairstyles for women in the Han Dynasty, called the horse-drawn bun.

These two girls think they are Zhuge Liang's eldest sister and second sister, who is not yet married. Zhuge Xuan's offspring is probably young, so he has not shown up.

Zhuge Xuan was about thirty years old and was born in Qilu, which gave him a tall body and a sick face, and it was difficult to hide his outstanding appearance. His beard was neat and his beard was thick. This image of a real man with a handsome body and exquisite beard was most in line with the aesthetic view of the Han Dynasty.

"I'm here Liu Jing, pay homage to Mr. Zhuge." Liu Jing, as a friend of Zhuge Liang, paid homage to Zhuge Xuan's son and nephew, and at the same time handed over the name sage.

As a junior, Liu Jing needs to add the word "disciple" in front of the name to show respect. The specific format is: "Disciple Liu Jing bows again and asks about his daily life. Changsha Linxiang's name is Zhongda."

"Liu Sheng, don't be polite, please get up quickly." Zhuge Xuanhan smiled and took the famous sect and said, "Liu Sheng is extremely virtuous and virtuous. He is famous for his works in Changsha. Even if he is seriously ill and does not leave his home, he often hears visitors, nephews, and even people in the pavilion talking about his best."

"Mr. Zhuge is too proud, so he dare not take it." Liu Jingyouran stood up, sat side by side with Zhuge Liang, and said, "If you don't abandon it, Mr. Zhuge can be called "Zhongda" in the following table."

Liu Jing's every move was in accordance with etiquette, but he was also elegant and calm. Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect that Changsha Yijun could raise such an extraordinary person, which is really amazing!"

Zhuge Liang's eldest sister and second sister also had beautiful eyes and their moods were fluctuating. They had long reached the age of marriage. They had been away from their hometowns and were displaced for a long time, which delayed the major marriage. If they had the opportunity to marry a gentleman like Liu Jing, who is both virtuous and talented, it would be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, they could not make decisions on their own in marriage.

Zhuge Xuan said: "Listen to Kong Ming, Zhongda once traveled to Xiangyang and became a disciple of Song Zhongzi."

Liu Jing nodded slightly and said, "I am indeed lucky enough to follow Song Gong to study the "Book of Changes". I returned home because of my brother's death several months ago. Now I think about it, I often regret that I failed to study hard and wasted my time."

Zhuge Xuan laughed and said, "Zhongda is so humble."

Liu Jingheran, this was completely his heartfelt words, but unfortunately no one believed him.

Zhuge Xuan pondered and said, "Now people say that under the rule of Liu Jingzhou, the government of Dehuai, there are no robbers in the rivers and lakes; there are no people who robbed them in Yuan and Xiang. They encourage farmers to farm, use fields to fish, and make good fortune every year; the people are happy, the powerful are convinced, and return to their hearts, which is the only land of happiness in the world.

Zhongda, I have lived in Xiangyang for two years. As you can see, are these rumors true or false?”

While recalling the various things in Xiangyang, Liu Jing said in conjunction with the evaluation of later generations, "The Liu envoy is a graceful gentleman and well-known throughout the world. Since he entered Jingzhou alone, he quickly wiped out the internal worries of clan thieves and thieves, and made them all pacified south of the Han River. He also eliminated Sun Jian and expelled Yuan Shu, successfully solved external troubles, and then recruited talents. There were thousands of scholars from Guanzhong, Yan and Henan. Liu envoy comforted and provided relief and all received the benefits...."
