Shi Sun Rui stood on the building of the inn, looking at the horizon opposite the river, with a lot of thoughts.
With the sound of the stairs, Sima Fu walked up and saw Shi Sun Rui looking out from a distance. He stopped and wanted to retreat quietly. Shi Sun Rui looked back and waved his hand. Sima Fu was inconvenient to refuse, bowed and walked behind Shi Sun Rui and stood firm.
"I'm sorry to bother Shi Sun Gong."
"It's okay, I just want to talk to someone, you're here just right." Shi Sun Rui sighed and patted the railing gently. "Have your brother been here?"
Sima Fu shook his head. "It's autumn harvest, so he must be busy, so he didn't contact him."
Shi Sun Rui curled his lips and said nothing, but a trace of disapproval flashed in his eyes. Sima Fang regarded himself as a Confucian scholar, and was polite with movement and quiet, but the matter was still unavoidable. The eldest son Sima Lang was a minister of Wu and the second son Sima Yi guarded Bicheng to serve the loyalty of Zhongshan Kingdom, which was in name only. He was determined to win the name of loyalty and righteousness. He also brought his third son Sima Fu to Luoyang and acted with the old ministers in the court. He was full of everything and could not miss it.
In contrast, Wang Yun was simply stupid. He had so many sons and nephews on the same boat. Even though he knew that the Han Dynasty was about to perish, he still refused to compromise and left a trace of blood for the Wang family in Qi County.
Apart from a mountain, people's customs are very different, and people can't help but sigh that good fortune is arousing.
"What are Lingzun doing? Can't you read "Han Shu" again?"
Sima Fu looked at Shi Sun Rui and looked a little embarrassed. He was not stupid, so how could he not hear the teasing in Shi Sun Rui's tone. He thought for a moment and smiled and said, "No, I'm reading Cai Boyi's "Xiangyang Han Ji".
Shi Sun Rui said "Oh" and did not ask again. The "Han Ji" written by Cai Yong has been printed all over the world, with 120 volumes and a thick box, but not expensive, so there are quite a few people who bought it to read it. He also has a set, which has been read most of them. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, they have experienced many historical events. They have a lot of emotions when they read it, and even have many different opinions. This time, when they came to the east and chatted on the way, many people had some opinions on Cai Yong's book, and planned to go to Jianye and Cai Yong's theory after seeing Sun Ce. Sima Fang might have similar ideas when reading this book.
"Have you ever heard that although Cai Boyi's historical book is printed throughout the world, it is not the final draft?"
Shi Sun Rui was very surprised. "How do you say this?" Cai Yong took nearly ten years to write this book and has been printed all over the world. The cost of carving the paper alone is very amazing. How could it be that it is not a final draft? I don't know how much manpower and material resources it takes to rewrite. Even if Wu Guofu can't do this.
"I heard that the King of Wu was not very satisfied with Cai Boyi's book. He believed that although historical events were detailed, his historical knowledge was not high enough, and he did not have the temperament of Taishi Gong who understood the changes of ancient and modern times, so he hoped that he would continue to work hard and rewrite one."
Shi Sun Rui's eyes flashed, and he was skeptical. He felt that Sima was giving to his face. Sima and Sima Qian in Wen County, Hanoi had no relationship with him. If Sun Ce praised Sima Qian, he might not be able to let you father and son have a way out. This King of Wu is famously cruel and ruthless. Zhou Zhong is also Zhou Yi's brother, and Zhou Yu's follower, and he was not polite to Zhou Zhong.
As soon as he thought of this, Shi Sun Rui's mood became even worse. As an old minister in the previous dynasty, he was also Yuan Shao's relationship. He did not give any hope to Sun Ce for forgiveness, but he was much more calm, and more regretful to Wang Gai and others. He knew there was no hope, but he had to stick to the end. If Wang Yun knew about this result, would he still follow Yuan Shao's hint and kill Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji?
You can't obey your life.
Shi Sun Rui was feeling himself, and a noise suddenly came from the front yard of the post house. Shi Sun Rui was very surprised, exchanged a look with Sima Fu, and turned to look at the front yard. The people living in the post house were old ministers of the previous dynasty, with uncertain future and undecided honor and disgrace. Everyone was in a bad mood. In addition, they were self-reliant, and no one would yell. Suddenly, it was so lively that something happened.
Just as he was thinking, the stairs were clamoring, Shi Sunmeng hurriedly walked up, his face turned red, his expression was flushed, and he was about to cry out, but when he saw Sima Fu present, he quickly bowed, walked quickly to Shi Sun Rui, and said softly, "Father, Mrs. Yuan is here."
"Madam Yuan?" Shi Sun Rui was a little nervous. "Which Mrs. Yuan, is Yang Wenxian's wife?"
"No, he is Yuan Gaolu's eldest daughter and the owner of Daoxiang Palace in the Palace of King Wu."
"Oh, it's her." Shi Sunrui breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay for Yuan Shu's daughter. No matter how resentful he is, he is a junior, and he won't be too presumptuous. Yang Biao's wife is different. She is a wealthy girl who has a headache for her peers. If she comes to join the door and starts a crime, the scene will be difficult to deal with. "Let's go and have a look." Shi Sunrui said, got up and went downstairs, and walked towards the front yard.
Shi Sunmeng stepped forward and blocked Shi SunRui's way. Shi SunRui was puzzled and stared at Shi Sunmeng. Shi Sunmeng bowed his hand, but didn't say anything, just signaling Shi SunRui not to go with his eyes. Sima Fu saw this and knew that Shi Sunmeng had something to say, but he couldn't let him hear it, so he bowed and hurried downstairs. The father and son lived in the front yard. Since Yuan Quan was here, he might meet and he would also rush to see it.
When Sima Fu went downstairs, Shi Sun Rui, who had already had a long face, shouted angrily: "What's the matter, sneaky?"
"Can you know why Mrs. Yuan came?"
"What else can it be done? Most of the people living in this inn have contact with the Yuan family, and they are old and older. Isn't it normal for her to come to welcome her as a young man?" Shi Sun Rui said, but his confidence was a little lacking. He knew that Yuan Quan would not just come to welcome her. It was probably related to the murder of Yuan Wei and others, but more than ten years have passed. Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and others have also been buried in Runan's ancestral tomb. What tricks can Yuan Quan do? Besides, Yuan Quan is the wife of the King of Wu after all. It really made a big fuss, which affected the stability of the King of Wu in Guanzhong, and it was not good for her.
"Mrs. Yuan, Grand Tutor Yuan, was killed for more than ten years and was buried for several years. However, why he was killed back then has not been clarified. She still bears a stigma. She wants to figure out this matter and compile another book to announce the world during the ten years of burial, so that the world can know the truth."
Shi Sun Rui's heart skipped a beat, his face changed slightly, and he took back his feet, which had just been about to step out. He thought of this, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. What Yuan Quan wanted was probably not the truth, but their reaction at that time. Seeing the Yuan family being destroyed and the young and fifty people were killed, what did those who had a close relationship with the Yuan family do? This is the truth that Yuan Quan wanted. Not only should he know, but he should also write it in a book and print it all over the world.
Yuan's disciples were born and had former officials all over the world. Once this book was printed, they would be pointed out by thousands of people and would still be despised in a thousand years.
Shi Sun Rui's face was even uglier than Shi Sun Meng.
——
Front yard, in Zhou Zhong’s guest room.
Yuan Quan sobbed softly and wiped the corners of his eyes with his handkerchief from time to time.
Zhou Zhongru was sitting on pins and needles, his old face turned red and white, his eyebrows were frowning, and the wrinkles on his face became a little deeper in just a few words. Facing Yuan Quan with pear blossoms and rain, he didn't know what to say.
This is a thorn, holding it in your hand and pricking it. If you don’t hold it, you can’t get rid of it. His father Zhou Jing and Yuan Quan’s ancestor Yuan Cheng were close friends. However, his choice was different later. Yuan Cheng strongly opposed Liang Ji’s establishment of Emperor Xiaohuan, and was killed and gained a reputation. Later, Liang Ji was executed. The Yuan family became a blessing in disguise, and it went further. Zhou Jing was removed from office and imprisoned. The Yuan family reached out to pull him. The Yuan family helped him a lot. Now Zhou Yu and his son are both important officials of the Wu Kingdom, especially Zhou Yu, who are as close as brothers as King Sun Ce of Wu. Among the old ministers in the previous dynasty, the Yuan family was the closest relationship between the Zhou family in Lujiang and the new dynasty. He did not come forward for the Yuan family, and no one would agree.
But it is hard to say that Yuan Wei was killed. There were too many people involved. Almost all the ministers in Chang'an at that time were responsible. If he wrote the truth, wouldn't he offend all those people to death? But if he didn't say it, wouldn't he be a cover-up for Wang Yun or even accomplices of the party?
Although Wang Yun was dead, Sun Ce did not mean to let him go. Wang Gai and others were forced to go to the fore and could only fight to the death. The Wang brothers still have Bingzhou to manage. What capital does the Zhou family have to resist and make Zhou Yu treason? This is obviously impossible.
When it comes to the future of the Zhou family in Lujiang, Zhou Zhong must not be careful to consider it.
"Madam, this is a big deal, and we must make plans for the long term." Zhou Zhong weighed the pros and cons, and could only use a slow-down plan and delay it again and again.
"Mr. Zhou's words are reasonable, and this matter is indeed in a hurry." Yuan Quan lowered his head and said with a forced smile: "So many years have passed, so I am not afraid of waiting for an additional year or two, and it will be completed before the ten-year burial ceremony. Speaking of which, I will invite Duke Zhou to come and erect the monument to erect the main sacrifice."
Zhou Zhong's cheeks twitched, and he hated Yuan Quan a little. Why are you staring at me? "Madam, I don't dare to take this. It would be better for such a grand ceremony to be hosted by Mr. Yang and Mr. Cai. Especially Mr. Yang, he is your uncle, and he is respected, and it is most suitable."
Zhou Zhong apologized to Yang Biao and Cai Yong while speaking. There was no way, so he could only let his friends down. He didn't want to be criticized by thousands of people and died without success.
"Of course, Mr. Yang and Mr. Cai also have to attend the meeting. For the old friends of that year, as long as they are alive, they will invite them." Yuan Quan sniffed and said, "As for those who have passed away, they should meet Mr. Citizen and his father in the Huangquan. There is no need for us to worry about it."
When Zhou Zhong heard the names of Yuan Wei and Yuan Shu, he felt relieved and was regained again. It seemed that if this matter was not handled well, he would be uneasy to be a ghost. Yuan Wei was a little better, Yuan Shu was not a good person. Zhou Zhong felt a little hurt. In contrast, no matter how he talked about Sun Ce, even whether he could see Sun Ce or not, it seemed that it was less important.
Seeing that Zhou Zhong looked like he was desperate and did not dare to die, Yuan Quan sneered in his heart and stood up to salute. "Zhou Gong was tired from the boat, so I won't disturb him. There are still several elders and wise men who want to pay homage. Come and greet you in two days."
