According to Kong Rong's historical statement to Cao Cao, what should Cao Cao do when facing the Hebei army? He is far inferior to Yuan Shao, so he can only surrender! The reason why Kong Rong is in Cao Cao's group is actually just trying to follow Emperor Xian of Han!

Yuan Shao is also the representative of the aristocratic family - this shows that Kong Rong, the famous scholar, actually hoped that Yuan Shao would win. Only when Yuan Shao wins can his Kong family restore the ruling class status of the aristocratic family and the famous scholars.

As a descendant of eunuchs, Cao Cao's lowly origin was naturally a shame for Kong Rong, a famous scholar. This also became one of the reasons why Kong Rong dared to go against Cao Cao everywhere!

Cao Cao, the treacherous hero, was able to keep such a top-notch figure by his side for so many years. Although he had to admire Cao Cao's patience due to his concerns about his status and reputation. This also showed Kong Rong's self-righteous stupidity!

But at this moment, no one, including Emperor Xian, would feel that Kong Rong was a life-saving straw, but was just a self-righteous political idiot. Everyone was watching this elegant and confident great master.

Everyone was looking forward to his ability to speak out as an internal force and truly confront the Jiangnan Army.

Seeing everyone, including the emperor, Kong Rong's vanity became even more swelling: "You don't know yet! There are still several capable people from our Beihai Kingdom in the Jiangnan army, who should hold important positions among his civil and military officials!

They were all loyal subordinates of the Beihai Kingdom back then, but they had been wandering to Jiangdong for various reasons. Unexpectedly, they have become high-ranking officials of the Jiangnan Army now.

A few days ago, my subordinates had just met one of them and realized that they were all in Jinling City. When they were with their subordinates, they were all loyal to the court. According to my official thought, if I, my former superior, came forward.

If you persuade them with righteousness, and the emperor can give them a great reward. If you move them with benefits and understand them with feelings, these well-educated loyal and righteous people will inevitably serve the emperor again.

With them in cooperation, the emperor will issue another order to order several imperial ministers from Jingzhou, Yizhou and Yangzhou, who are royal relatives, to act together. The situation the emperor is concerned about today, and the ministers think that if all parties work together, why worry about major issues?"

Whether it was Emperor Xian or the ministers, after hearing Kong Rong's words with confidence, they were always overjoyed.

The young Emperor Xian laughed impatiently and asked, "Haha, with Mr. Kong's help, the revival of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner! I am very relieved, I am very relieved! I just don't know who these sages in Beihai are named!

Could it be that it is more talented than wise men such as Bingyuan? It seems that the Beihai Kingdom of our great Han is really a treasure land for talented and famous men!”

Seeing Kong Rong's cautious look on his face, Emperor Xian smiled indifferently: "Mr. Kong Rong just don't worry, all the ministers in this palace are our own people. How can they be loyal ministers who have been tested thousands of miles apart? No one will reveal the names of these wise men!"

Seeing Emperor Xian repeatedly asking questions, Kong Rong, who was showing off, finally let go of his guards. Thinking about how there would be spies who could follow Emperor Xian to return to the capital to live and die. In this hall, the eunuchs and palace maids had already been driven out.

Among the few who stayed, even Zhong Yao had followed Emperor Xian for seven or eight years. If he was not a loyal person, how could he follow the emperor like this and never leave him? Moreover, Emperor Xian has repeatedly asked for it, so Kong Rong, who is very proud, is naturally not easy to refuse.

Kong Rong, who was still hesitant, quickly glanced at the people in the hall. However, he saw that everyone's faces gradually changed. After all, who felt that they were not trusted by others, their faces would naturally not look good.

Seeing the faces of the ministers, Kong Rong was immediately shocked. In front of others, how could Kong Rong speak loudly and calmly?

But he didn't dare to offend most of the real imperial elders before he entered the court.

He immediately felt a little confused: "Your Majesty! His former minister met his subordinates who were in the past. He has just been promoted to the cavalry commander of the Governor's Office in Jiangnan. He mainly helped Zhang Zhao, the governor and chief minister, dealing with many matters in the transfer of grain and taxation in various places.

This guy is now in the Governor's Office of Jiangnan, and he is also a person in charge of some power."

Everyone was stunned and talked: "Is it Yi? I have never heard of this person's name! There are very few people in this world with surnames. If I had heard of it, no one would have forgotten it. There is no fame!

However, he is a cavalry captain in the Governor's Mansion. He is also a general who can command troops. If he can win over him and serve the emperor, he can also inform us of some information in advance. Such a person should also have his own uses!"

"Of course it's useful! Now we are weak. If the Governor's Office officials who are in an important position can surrender to the emperor, of course, the more the better! If they inform us, if there is any abnormal movement in the Jiangnan Army, we will think of ways to deal with it in advance.

Well, such a person is very important to our future actions. He can also transfer food and grass to the army, and he must not be lacking!"

Back then, just a small person under his jurisdiction, it made the ministers talk for a while, and Kong Rong was even more proud.

He subconsciously coughed a few times: "Cough cough! The emperor is Yi's name Ziyu, who is from Yingling, Beihai. When Yi was in Beihai, his original surname was "Shi". Because his subordinates mocked him for being "Shi" as "Min" as the character "Shi" was supreme, he changed his surname to "Shi".

"Ah!" Everyone looked at Kong Rong with a strange look: "This is Yi, it seems that Mr. Mr. has a bad relationship! Then Mr. Kong told him out. If he couldn't swollen it in the future, wouldn't he be humiliated?"

Finally, I felt that Kong Rong's words seemed to be too boasting. Dong Cheng looked at Emperor Xian, and then asked carefully and politely: "I don't know that Mr. Kong thought it was Yiduwei, but would he be worried about the small festival in Beihai that year?"

Seeing that the ministers were indeed questioning, Kong Rong said proudly: "Hehe, don't worry! That was a man who made a name for his loyalty and forgiveness in the country back then, and he would never be an ungrateful person. When the ministers met him before, they had never recognized him.

It was him who came forward to thank his ministers. The friendship between the lords in Beihai was then remembered by his name! Haha! I, a scholar from Beihai, was deeply educated by saints. Those are all magnanimous and loyal people!"

Dong Cheng then smiled slightly with relief: "It's so good, so good, this is Yiduwei, and he is really a noble person!"

Thinking about it, he was ridiculed by Shangguan and forced to change his surname. If the entire family of his family was erased from the local area.

I’m afraid that a man with backbone would not let go of such things easily. It is really rare for a scholar like Shiyi to be.

However, Emperor Xian, the ministers and ministers who were well-founded and eager to expand the power of the court subconsciously chose to believe it. Believing that this is an etiquette should be a great sage who truly read the essence of the sage books.

Some people also thought: "Or this is Yi. There is a special reason in his family, so we need to change the surname of the whole family!"

It seems that Emperor Xian and everyone chose to believe that this is a person who can be won over by Yi. Kong Rong's interest was even higher and he continued to smile unfathomably: "Actually, this is Yi just a small official in the Jiangnan Army. Haha!"

Speaking of this, Kong Rong stopped talking awkwardly, and raised everyone's appetite with a mysterious look on his face.

Emperor Xian, who was staring at Kong Rong, reacted the fastest, and his eyes lit up and asked, "Oh, Mr. Kong, do you have a subordinate with a greater official position? Can you serve in the Jiangnan Army? This is really God helping me to regain power!"

"Haha!" Kong Rong laughed dryly. His uncle Dong Cheng did not take the conversation in time, but instead let the emperor take the lead. This made Kong Rong feel that he missed more opportunities to show off his capital, and glanced at Dong Cheng with some disappointment.

But he didn't dare to delay any further: "I reported to the emperor. When I was talking to Shiyi, I heard that Sun Shao, the Gongcao appointed by me when I was the prefect of Beihai, is now also working in the Governor's Office. Sun Shao is actually a talented person!"

"Sun Shao? Could it be Sun Changxu? The new chief of the Governor's Office?"

Zhong Yao, who was originally just listening quietly, suddenly screamed in surprise! "Since Zhang Zhao's chief secretary was promoted to the Governor's Office, the Governor of Jiangnan has specially proposed that the young Changxu take over the position of Governor's Office!

He was indeed a talented man, but he heard that he was the subordinate of Liu Yaozhou's governor and came with Yangzhou. But he never thought that he had done Gongcao under Mr. Kong back then!

Tsk tsk! It seems that Mr. Kong’s land in the North Sea is really full of talents! Sun Shao, it’s him!”

Since he learned that Cai Yan had come to Jinling, Zhong Yao often went to the Governor's Office to see Cai Yan without any hesitation in order to study the Cai family's Feibai Book. However, Zhong Yao was the closest minister among the ministers to the Governor's Office.

It was nothing strange that he knew Sun Shao, the chief of the Governor's Office. Zhong Yao's obsession with calligraphy was almost crazy. This was something that everyone in the court had already understood.

Zhong Yao was the third generation descendant of Cai Yong's calligraphy. It is said that Cai Yong's calligraphy was learned from the gods and later from Cui Yuan and his daughter Wen Ji. Zhong Yao was born in Zhong Yao, Mrs. Wei was born in Zhong Yao, Wang Xizhi was born in Wei, and Wang Xianzhi was born in Wang Xizhi.

He is good at writing seal, clerical, regular, running, and cursive styles. The best writing style is the ancient and elegant regular script, simple, round and vigorous, mellow, and mellow style, and simple brushwork, and natural and natural. It is a rare calligraphy that we learn calligraphy from ancient times to new.

When Zhong Yao was dying, he called his son Zhong Hui to his side and gave him a secret calligraphy. He also told his son about his hard work. He had more than 30 years of his life to concentrate on learning calligraphy.

He mainly mastered the essentials of writing from Cai Yong's calligraphy skills. During the learning process, he did not distinguish between day and night, regardless of the occasion, and wrote when he had time, practice when he had the opportunity. Sitting with others and talking, practicing on the surrounding ground.

When I rest at night, I use the quilt as paper. As a result, as a result, the quilt has made a big hole. When I see natural scenery such as flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, it will be related to the brushwork. Sometimes I go to the toilet and forget to come back.

This shows that Zhong Yao's calligraphy art is indeed the result of his own hard work. Decades of hard practice have made Zhong Yao a famous master in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

He was collectively called "Zhong Zhang" with Zhang Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was also collectively called "Zhong Wang" with Wang Xizhi, a saint of calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He learned from Cao Xi, Cai Yong, Liu Desheng and others, and learned from others' strengths and was good at all styles. Especially regular script.

He is the ancestor of Chinese calligraphy history. He first set regular script in the history of calligraphy and made important contributions to the development of Chinese characters.

Zhong Yao's exclamation at this time surprised Emperor Xian and the others. The position of the Chief Secretary of the Governor's Office is so noble. Compared with the Chief Secretary of the Governor's Office, the Chief Secretary is simply the same as the position of prime minister of a country.

But who would have thought that such an important talent was actually from the somewhat depressed Confucius subordinate of Confucius.

The Taifu Han Rong was so excited that his pale beard began to tremble. He said with some difficulty: "Kong Wenju, what you said is true! Don't commit the crime of deceiving the king, which ruined your name as a wise man who has been passed down for hundreds of years in Kong's family!"

Everyone was one head, and it was understandable to say that a cavalry captain was of low origin. However, it would be a bit incredible that such talents as the governor's office would be let go by Kong Rong.

Previously, Kong Rong claimed to everyone that Sun Shao had the talent of a corridor, which proved that Kong Rong recognized Sun Shao's talent.

However, he did not keep such a talent, but now he has joined the Jiangnan Army. He has become a noble chief of Jiangnan, taking over most of the people's livelihood issues in the world. Is it because Sun Ce is too good at employed people, or is the arrogant Kong Rong who is too incompetent in front of him?

Looking at the strange expression on everyone's faces, Kong Rong felt a little confused. He didn't know what he said wrong. After thinking about it, he was a little confused for a moment, so he simply threw out his last, and biggest trump card.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the loyal, righteous, kind and filial Taishici of Donglai? When Taishi Ziyi was exiled to the world, his ministers sent someone to take good care of his widowed old mother, so he had a lot of old friends with his ministers.

I heard that it was Yi that Ziyi was now the General of the Supplementary State in the Jiangnan Army. He was in charge of a cavalry of the Jiangnan Army with Sun Ce, the governor of Jiangnan. The Jiangnan Army had a total of more than 10,000 cavalry, and he only controlled five thousand cavalry.

In the Jiangnan Army, he was the only general who had the standing army except for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. It is said that even the veterans who followed Sun Ce back then did not have ready-made troops.

It can be seen how important his position in the Jiangnan army was. Back then, my subordinates knew that Ziyi was a talented general, but now he is indeed successful. It’s a pity that my Beihai City soldier was weak back then, so I couldn’t keep such a talent as Ziyi!”

Speaking of this, Kong Rong looked regretful and complained in his heart: "If Ziyi had been left behind, how could Beihai fall? He was seized by Yuan Tan's successful villain, but Wu'anguo was broken by Lu Bu and his muscles on his hands could no longer go out.

There are no generals in the North Sea, so I, Kong Rong, can't even save my wife and daughter! Alas, I don't know how they fell into the hands of the little beast Yuan Tan! Alas, I heard that the boy of the Yuan family is not very good-looking!"

Thinking of this, Kong Rong felt that his heart suddenly felt inexplicably hurt. The tragic ending that his wife and daughter could foresee, coupled with his current wandering and helplessness, made the savior of the court who was just so energetic suddenly have the idea of ​​crying.

But suddenly hearing Taishi Ci, the three giants of the Jiangnan Army, may be surrendered by Kong Rong. Such thrilling news made Emperor Xian fall into ecstasy and no one noticed Kong Rong's sudden change in his face.

"Taishi Ci, Taishi Ziyi! I heard that he was a subordinate of the current governor of Yizhou, Liu Yao. If he could get his help, it would be no problem to take down the Jiangnan Army. He had half of the Jiangnan Army's cavalry in his hand!"

When Taishi Ci, as Zhang's support force, arrived in Luoyang to welcome Emperor Xian, he had met with Emperor Xian and his ministers. He also saw Emperor Xian, the brave and powerful Emperor Xian at first glance, and wanted to win over Taishi Ci with his subordinates with a reward of high officials and generous salaries on the spot.

But the result was rejected by Taishi Ci without hesitation. Emperor Xian was furious about Taishi Ci's rebellion. However, after Dong Cheng and others persuaded him, Emperor Xian finally understood something.

First, when both sides first met, they were not familiar with each other. Second, Taishi Ci was a little disdainful of the imperial court's empty check-like reward. He was a general of the Jiangnan Army, in order to obtain or not, he could not get the reward.

It would be too expensive to betray the Jiangnan Army. There would be no wonder that he would refuse Emperor Xian’s title of official position.

At this moment, Kong Rong's complaining words made Emperor Xian and others feel a sense of compassion for the Beihai Xiang who lost their territory and abandoned their wife and daughter.

"It's not that Kong Wenju is incompetent, but because the Beihai, like the current court, is a vulnerable group that cannot retain talents!"

Everyone finally understood that Beihai is indeed a place for talents, whether it is literati or warriors, there are many talented people. However, in today's world, how can truly talented people be willing to let their amazing world be buried in a county?

Similarly, Taishi Ci and other people with vision will not serve the emperor when the court has not even a foothold. Could it be that with the emperor, they are chased by warlords like stray dogs in the entire Han territory, and can only accompany the emperor to escape?

But now it is different. The court has completely stabilized. With the introduction of Kong Rong, the former lord, Emperor Xian is very likely to win over these important talents from the Jiangnan army as long as he promises a corresponding appropriate official position.

They had already been betrayed many times when they were able to abandon Beihai and surrender to other forces, and finally join the Jiangnan Army. So this time, as long as they have enough benefits, it is entirely possible to change their camps again.

At this moment, Emperor Xian, who was happy and confident, believed that no matter who it was, everyone had a corresponding price. As long as the court was willing to pay, even the loyal ministers would change even if they seemed to be!
