Chapter 174 The Feast of the Two-legged Sheep
Thank you, the first helm leader of this book, Gu, for your friends, you will give me two gifts, Yunyan! Haha, Qiyun is very happy to be cared for by you!
At this time, no one could ever think about holding Kong Rong responsible for losing Beihai. He had only deep sympathy for his similar experience. After a moment, Emperor Xian finally curled his cheerful smile and lowered his head to discuss with Dong Cheng in a low voice.
Then he said to Kong Rong, who was still depressed, "Mr. Kong, you should know the best of these subordinates of your time. In your opinion, what means should I use to successfully recruit these talents to serve the court?
As long as Mr. Kong can win them over and we can successfully seize power, the position of priesthood in this dynasty is Mr. Kong. Of course, in addition to the position of priesthood, I will also grant you a marquis and corresponding reward! Look!"
Listening to the emperor's generous promise, Kong Rong, who was Confucius' 20th generation, had become full of golden flowers. Although the Kong family's literary name is at an unparalleled peak in today's world, it has always been ordinary in the officialdom.
"Didn't Confucius, the ancestor of the Kong family, have no good teaching platform, which made the development of Confucianism so difficult? If the Confucius family members could enter the Imperial Academy in my generation, they would have fulfilled their long-cherished wishes.
It means that the most talented scholars in the world will be me, Kong Rong, and even a direct disciple of the Kong family. In this way, my promising descendants can worship my ancestors with dignity when they worship their ancestors."
"The Confucian classics of Kong's benevolent Confucianism can finally control the world's context. In the near future, Confucianism will become a true classic of the Han Dynasty. It can even be spread to a wider world under the promotion of more knowledgeable people.
Isn’t there any legend that there are many foreigners with blond hair, blue eyes, and barbarians in the extreme west? They must also learn the Chinese studies of our Han family and truly realize the ambition of ancestors to educate the world!"
Kong Rong, who was shocked by Emperor Xian's series of wishes, seemed to have seen the day when the Confucius family had truly had a lot of students all over the world. The excited Kong Rong even thanked Emperor Xian with gratitude.
"The emperor is wise and wise. Thank you for your kindness! The descendants of the Kong family are willing to devote themselves to the emperor and die until they die!"
The wish of dozens of generations of the Confucius family's descendants can be realized suddenly. Kong Rong, who was originally a rigorous person, could no longer control his emotions.
Some people were incoherent and randomly thanking the emperor for his kindness.
He also made up his mind to contribute all his strength to the wise emperor and the court. Kong Rong understood that if he defected to the Jiangnan Army, he could only be a famous scholar in the Qunxian Pavilion at most.
For the Kong family, who is not short of literary names, how can they share the hardships and hardships with Emperor Xian have more prospects?
"Future and honor are in danger!" After thinking about his own future and Kong Rong's unprecedented efforts to think about it.
Cai said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I think! It's easy to say about that. Now he is just a small cavalry captain. Just get him promoted to the third level and give him a general at will.
What is important is that Ziyi and Changxu must promise high officials and generous salaries, so that their subordinates can lobby them. Nowadays, many high positions such as General Chef and Cavalry, Grand Sima, and General are vacant.
It is better to give Taishi Ci a general or a Grand Sima to lead the military. As for Sun Shao, why not just let him be the Situ of the new dynasty? This also shows the sincerity of the court's desire for talent.
And for them, only such a high position can they be attractive enough!”
Hearing Kong Rong's idea, he wanted to make the two young men occupy such a high position. The majority of the important officials in the hall, who were already gray-haired, could not help but change their faces.
Some people were puzzled: "Kong Rong himself occupied the sacrificial sacrificial wine in Taixue. If he was the Taichang position, he still wanted to arrange his two old subordinates to serve as the three dukes! Among the three dukes, his men occupied two. Was he just for the emperor and the imperial court?"
If Kong Rong's arrangements were followed, the highest official position in the court would be accounted for most of the Beihai people by Kong Rong. As long as these three people took office, the impact on the future direction of the court would be extremely huge and unparalleled.
Even if the Beihai Group is still weak now, once they take power and want to come, talents who join their group will flock to them. The great man has never lacked suitable talents, and all they lack is a suitable official position.
Facing Kong Rong's condition that he was almost like a lion's mouth, even Emperor Xian, who was already full of confidence, pinched his sudden forehead speechlessly. He looked up and was about to scold Kong Rong, but he saw his uncle shaking his head gently at him.
My heart suddenly became clear. After a moment, I suppressed my anger and said calmly to Kong Rong: "Mr. Kong, don't you think that if Taishi Ci and Sun Shao were at such a high position, would you be too young? This is the position of the Three Dukes of the court!"
It was not difficult to give positions such as Shiyi and Taishi Ci, a general. However, Kong Rong directly focused on Situ and Grand Sima, who held real power among the Three Dukes. This was not something Emperor Xian and his ministers could accept.
Emperor Xian, who is in charge of the overall situation, must leave a suitable position and arrange the two armies of Yuan and Cao who come to serve the king. Although the ministers in the hall are also of high power, they have made great contributions to protecting the emperor and are now following the emperor. Who will not go further?
If we give this most important position of the Three Dukes first and let two young men who are only about thirty be in the upper hand, I am afraid that no one with some strength will be convinced, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao.
When they really came to Jinling and took control of the center, who would know what would happen in the court? Don’t stop the Jiangnan Army from taking it down, but instead, it would be a battle between the court that was fighting for power.
Seeing Kong Rong's face looked a little ugly. In order to attract strong support, Emperor Xian could only patiently say: "Mr. Wen Ju, I think if Taishi Ci could lead five thousand cavalry to serve the court, I would protect him as the Grand Sima.
But Sun Shao, since he is in charge of food and grass and taxation, would he be better than to be the chief magistrate of the Grand Secretary? What do you think?"
The emperor politely asked a dereliction of duty to a prime minister, which gave Kong Rong enough face. The imperial court appointed an official position to seek advice from a criminal in the law. It has to be said that the imperial court has become so weak that it is beyond replenishment.
However, Emperor Xian, who had no military power, had no second way to go. Kong Rong immediately bowed down his advice to Emperor Xian.
"The emperor is wise! He can make a decision immediately. He is really a wise ruler. The revival of our great man is about to be just around the corner! Since the emperor has made such a decision, the ministers will obey the imperial edict! The ministers will do this immediately! The emperor just waits for good news from the ministers!"
If you can't get two positions in the Three Dukes who hope, at least Taishi Ci can master a great sage. What's more, Sun Shao became a great sergeant and could also control the production and use of grain in the world. He is also an extremely important position as the Nine Ministers.
Also, if you are about to become a general, you will be Yi. With these three people and Kong Rong himself, the Kong family's voice in the court will reach an unprecedented level. Even if you face Cao Cao or Yuan Shao directly, Kong Rong will not be afraid at all.
As soon as the figure of Kong Rong disappeared, the servant Han Rong snorted coldly and said in a sarcastic manner: "A sour scholar actually wants to control the authority of the court! Don't say whether your former subordinates can submit to you and are willing to rebel against the Jiangnan Army with you.
Even if Taishi Ci brought five thousand men, would he want to defeat the 200,000 men of Yuan and Cao? It’s such a fool! People’s hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. The old master who was stupid in this book is afraid that he will not know how he dies in the future!”
Although Han Rong's words were very light, they could be heard clearly in this quiet hall. Unexpectedly, no one wanted to refute his ridicule. In the thoughts of Emperor Xian, the emperor and his ministers, Han Rong said everyone's voice at this moment!
In the eyes of a group of traitors and sly rulers and ministers, Kong Rong was just an object to use. At least he was active outside, which could add some chaos to the Jiangnan Army. Secondly, it could also attract the attention of the Jiangnan Army.
With Kong Rong's actions, Emperor Xian and others could cover up even if they did some small moves. The main hope was to put it on the three-way coalition forces of Yuan Cao and the Hu clan. Of course, if Kong Rong could really instigate the important officials of the Jiangnan Army to join the court.
Then Emperor Xian was naturally very eager to seek it. He could not only weaken it from the inside of the Jiangnan Army, but also greatly increase his own strength. Who would not like the monarch and ministers who really wanted to restore the Han Dynasty?
The north of the Yangtze River, 60 miles south of Yixu City, is located on a remote town near the river. This once peaceful and quiet town has now fallen into hell. The entire town has been occupied by a group of semi-crazy Hu people.
Killing and plundering were carried out almost uninterruptedly throughout the town. All the men in the town, both young and old, have become corpses, whether old or young. All women, as long as they look a little, have become objects of robbery.
In the wilderness outside the town, there were obviously seven or eight thousand cavalrymen belonging to one force, closely surrounding them. Many knights on the horses were looking anxiously at the town and shouting loudly.
The right wise king of the Huns listened to his subordinates' complaints with a gloomy face, but sat upright like a rock and was unmoved at all.
Yin Siyue, the king of Youguli, rushed out of the town and shouted far away: "Youxian King, the people of Yanzhou have not deceived us. There are no officers and soldiers in the town! The Qiang, Hu and Xianbei people have already occupied most of them. If we don't take action, we will have nothing to catch!"
A group of arrogant cavalry surrounding the right wise king of the Xiongnu immediately started to clamor. The eager eyes looked at their own chief generals. As long as they received a positive sign, they would rush into the town and get a good harvest.
Although we arrived late, the fattest two-legged sheep must have been occupied by the cavalry of other tribes first. But when we arrived late, we could get some oil and water. Moreover, the Hun cavalry is not easy to bully and cannot get the benefits they deserve. Can't we seize them from others?
In the hope that everyone could return, the Right King Jiebei finally spoke. But his cold voice, like a bucket of ice water, instantly wiped out the almost uncontrollable enthusiasm of the Hun cavalry.
"Shut up to me! If you don't want to die, let me dismount and eat my own dry food, drink some barley wine butter tea. Have a good rest! Siyue! Look forward to your own subordinate. When I don't want to, I will use your head to sacrifice to my military flag!"
"Ah! Your King, Your King, you, you"
The Hun cavalry screamed in discomfort. Yin Siyue, who had never dared to disobey the king's order, was a little confused this time.
But he took the lead for his brothers and called out: "Wife King, brothers come here thousands of miles away. Can you only do anything to watch others loot? Then why not let the brothers stay at home with their women!"
The blue veins on his forehead stormed by his most loyal subordinates, and his face turned black and red at the same time.
"Bold, you bastard, shut up for me! Yin Siyue, don't think that if you favor me, you can question my decision! If you want to take your troops to rob and kill people, go! But don't forget that boy Liu Bao is the fate!"
The master's angry scolding made Yin Siyue, who was the King of Youguli, suddenly feel silent.
But the dissatisfaction in his heart made him mutter involuntarily: "No! The wise king Liu Bao died at the hands of the Jiangnan army! This is still in Jiangbei. No matter how long his Jiangnan army has, can he still reach Cao Cao's territory?
Besides, it was just because Liu Bao was too ruthless and directly used the Han people as military rations, which caused the Jiangnan Army to counterattack. What does it matter if we just rob the enemy of the Jiangnan Army?
At most, I ordered my brothers not to kill, eat human flesh, and just grab some things I need.
Even if you can bring a few iron pots back, it would be better than a long trip, but you can only go back empty-handed! If this is the case, then these warriors in our clan will be laughed at to death by people from other tribes! The wise king!"
At the end, Yin Siyue's voice became lower and lower under the cold eyes of the Youxian King. Finally, she swallowed the words she still wanted to say back into her stomach.
Seeing that King Youguli finally lost his voice, he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Is your dignified King Youguli the only chance? A few broken iron pots can make you completely confused. Are the high-spirited heads worth a few iron pots?
I will tell you solemnly, don’t look at the guys in the town who are snatching you so hard. They can’t take away the things they snatched. And if they kill the entire town, they don’t want to go back to the frontier alive!"
"What?" Yin Siyue widened her eyes incredibly: "Wizard King! Could it be you
Before he could continue, Qubei's bull's eyes glared back hard. Before Qubei could say anything, another fast horse was running wildly from the town. A fierce Xianbei knight on the horse's back immediately shouted.
"Dear Lord Youxian of the Huns, you are one step late! This town has been taken down by us. My young master invited the king. The young master said that the delicious two-legged sheep had been cooked, so please go to the banquet together!"
Goubei and Yin Siyue looked at each other but saw each other's throats squirming violently. It seemed that both of them thought of the long-lost two-legged sheep, the plump taste. Back then, they ate two-legged sheep that was more delicious than beef and mutton on the grassland.
But with concern in his heart, he finally restrained his desire to speak out. He cracked his mouth and smiled like the oldest fox on Langji Mountain outside the frontier.
"Oh! Your young master Ke Bieneng is really the most polite and kind man in the world, but I have used supper. In addition, there are still some important matters in the army to be dealt with, so I will not go to the banquet today. Please express my sincere thanks to your young master on behalf of me.
Tell him that next time I have the chance to go to my Xiongnu royal court. I will invite him to taste the most solemn banquet for slaughtering! Haha, please come back with the messenger!"
The strong Xianbei knight had a hint of unaware disdain in his eyes. He simply bowed his fists in his hands, pulled the horse reins and shouted lightly, and turned his horse without hesitation and rushed towards the town.
But he thought to himself with contempt and thought: "As the king of the Xiongnu, the right wise king, has no blood as a foreigner at all! He is afraid of doing things, not only staggers in the joint operation, but also comes outside the town and leads people to sweep the people.
Following him, the timid king, the Hun cavalry could only live by eating dry food. They were really a group of pitiful guys. I’m afraid that I had never tasted the real two-legged sheep banquet! What a coward!
There will be a happy life with the young master there! If you want to kill Han people, kill them at will, and if you want to set fire, set them at will. As long as you arrive in the Han area, our Xianbei warriors will be the masters of the local Han people.
Snatch all their things and enjoy their wives and daughters at will. After enjoying them on those beautiful and gentle Chinese girls, there are delicious two-legged sheep to eat.
Men outside the Great Wall should act casually in this way, so that they can be considered a true warrior style!
I went back quickly and reported to the young master that I would eat well. I heard that this time the number of two-legged sheep was sufficient. In addition to barbecue and soup, the chefs who cooked also found more than a dozen large steamers in the bun shop and made a steamed two-legged sheep.
It is said that such a live steamed two-legged sheep is similar to a living person. Because of the lot of soup, it looks original and the meat tastes more delicate. People who have eaten it say it is extremely delicious! But I am the only one who wants to send a letter, and it is the first time I have the opportunity to taste it.
Hehe! These guys are just as good as our soldiers’ killing methods, and they are becoming more and more exquisite. I must taste this original two-legged sheep! It cannot be eaten by those greedy guys, haha!"
Chapter completed!
