"Following the principles and observing the rules is called Tao; making changes when faced with danger is called power."
"I heard from Pei Jun that there is a very close servant named Xun You in the country." Liu Yu noticed Pei Mao's meaningful expression and couldn't help but asked: "I guess he and Xun Chen come from the same sect?
"
At this time, Pei Mao noticed that he was cold, so he turned around and walked along the verandah toward the house. He walked side by side with Liu Yu and said as he walked: "After all, this man is still the father of Xun Jun in the imperial court."
"Maybe the imperial court has issued an edict." Liu Yu judged, "Maybe the situation has changed."
Tian Chou understood the meaning of the two people's words and knew that this person must be met: "I'll arrange an introduction right now."
"Yes." Pei Mao responded lightly and suddenly said: "Zitai, I've troubled you to keep busy these days."
"Mr. Pei, you're too generous. Since Chou is a military attaché on the emissary for Mr. Pei and has the responsibility of protecting you, you should be busy with your work." Tian Chou bowed and said.
"By the way, the righteous man who came from Zhongshan." Pei Mao suddenly said: "Where is he placed now?"
Tian Chou replied: "I have placed him in another courtyard. He is very polite and does not go out casually."
Pei Mao asked again: "You have been sidetracking and listening to him these past few days. What do you think of him?"
Tian Chou thought for a while and said: "That day I encountered thieves in Zhongshan. When I was in danger, I relied on this person to ride my horse and bring hundreds of soldiers to help. Based on my humble opinion, there seems to be nothing suspicious."
Liu Yu said curiously: "This son has a great reputation in Jizhou. Even if he has a close relationship with Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan's subordinate, as you said, I don't think he will..."
"Because of this, it's no wonder that I doubt him." Pei Mao said lightly: "Besides, it was a coincidence that this person came that day..."
As soon as Pei Mao and Liu Yu entered the main room, they saw Xun Chen sitting on a table with a sullen face.
He was not polite. He and Liu Yu sat on either side of the main seat, with Tian Chou standing by the side. Then Pei Maocang said to Xun Chen, "Mr. Xun didn't bring a doctor today?"
Xun Chen's face turned red and he said with a shy face: "The angel looks good, why do we need a doctor? Don't make fun of me."
In the first few days after Pei Mao entered Yecheng, Yuan Shao sent a doctor to take care of him. Originally, he and Liu Yu had no flesh injuries, so he wanted to politely refuse. Unexpectedly, the doctor diagnosed them with excessive shock without any consultation.
, Yuan Shao heard about the pulse case that needed to be rested, and immediately sent a capable servant, Cang Tou, to serve him in a serious manner, saying that he would return to the capital soon after he was nursed back to health.
Pei Mao and others knew what Yuan Shao had planned at that time, but it was too late. They were trapped here and could do nothing, so they had to sit back and wait for death.
Seeing that Xun Chen behaved differently from before, Pei Mao decided that his guess might have become a fact. He asked with interest: "Then Mr. Xun is here under orders this time?"
"Nuo, it has been snowing for days these days, which makes you worried about the cold, so you sent me to bring some charcoal."
I have been wronged. The envoy said that he will find out the truth as soon as possible and give an explanation to both of you and the imperial court."
Liu Yu snorted in displeasure and said: "I didn't let Yuan Benchu bother, but he investigated and investigated, and forced us to stay in Yecheng, why not let us go south?"
Xun Chen knew about the movements of the imperial court and other princes, which almost put Yuan Shao into a situation of embarrassment from all sides. Yuan Shao did not dare to continue to offend the imperial court on this matter and bear the infamy, so he had to give up the idea of supporting him and planned to send Pei Mao and others back.
It's just because Yuan Shao used a very lame excuse to force Pei Mao and others to stay, so this time Yuan Shao sent Xun Chen, who has special talents, hoping to use his eloquence to win over Pei Mao and others.
It was easy for Liu Yu to explain in front of him, to settle the grudges and settle the old suspicions, so that Pei Mao would not impeach Yuan Shao again after he returned to the court.
"Liu Gong was joking." Xun Chen did not dare to show off in front of the highly respected Liu Yu, so he behaved very humbly and said, "The reason why Yuan Shijun repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay was because he heard the doctor say that Pei Jun was frightened by thieves, and his heart
I am worried and need to rest. Secondly, it is because of the heavy snow and wind recently and I am too tired on the road. So I plan to ask you two to stay for a few more days. I have no intention of forcing you to stay. If you don't want to, you can just stop snowing in these few days.
Set off for the south."
"Is this really the case?" Liu Yu's face was not very good: "When Mr. Xun returns, please tell Yuan Benchu so that he can take care of himself."
"Wei, wei."
Therefore, I have no shame in coming to see Mr. Liu. I only hope that Mr. Liu will be magnanimous and will not care about me."
This explanation persuaded Liu Yu to a certain extent. After all, Yuan Shao had not done anything extraordinary these days besides preventing them from going out. So he looked slightly relieved and said: "The Yuan family in Runan is famous all over the world, and Yuan Benchu was also a famous scholar for a while.
, In the future, we will stabilize the place and fulfill our duties, so that we can live up to the entrustment of the court and the expectations of the scholars."
These words were demeaning to Yuan Shao. As a disciple of Yuan Shao's house, Xun Chen consciously worried about the humiliation of his ministers. Even if he shouldered the responsibility of making peace with Liu Yu, Xun Chen did not want to lose his integrity.
He thought he wanted to defend Yuan Shao's responsibility, so he couldn't help blurting out: "What did Liu Gong say? In order to help the country, my family's envoys supported the young master, raised righteous troops in Hebei, and formed an alliance to fight against Dong.
It is an act of loyalty that is worthy of the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan! By what Liu Gong said, does it mean that our envoy has been living up to the trust of the court and the expectations of the scholars in these years?"
Liu Yu didn't expect that Xun Chen, who had always been humble and humble, would suddenly speak so sharply. He spoke smoothly for a while, but he forgot that it was the man in front of him who used his words to make Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, give up Jizhou.
He was dumbfounded for a moment and could only forcefully say: "Yuan Benchu has been clamoring for auspiciousness all these years with ulterior motives. Is it still an act of loyalty?"
Liu Yu happened to take advantage of Pei Mao's presence and planned to explain clearly the deeds that had almost made him emperor, so as not to become an excuse for others to criticize him after he entered the court.
However, as a party involved, Liu Yu was vague in his words and knew how to avoid taboos. However, Xun Chen did not take this as a negative thing at all. Instead, he spoke plausibly: "The young master is far away in Chang'an, threatening his rebellious ministers, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. At that time, Wang Gang untied the knot, and the world
In the midst of chaos, the country urgently needs its eldest prince to calm people's hearts. Yuan Shijun is so famous in the world, how can he not step forward and support the eldest prince of the Liu family in order to calm the world?"
"You also know that today the country is in chaos, and the Lord is covered in dust." Liu Yu frowned and said dissatisfied: "You have been greatly favored, and instead of thinking about the national humiliation, you attack the traitors and ministers. Instead, you seize the prefectures and counties and rebel.
Planning chaos. Do you know what kind of chaos the world will be like if this case is started?"
