Chapter 19
Speaking of which, Zhang Fei, although he was born in a butcher's family, he loved reading and respected scholars. He wrote good writing and was more willing to imitate ladies. He also liked to hand over local knights and heroes. Most of the guests under him were rogue boys from far and near villages, domineering locals and comparing himself with heroes. Although his personality is heroic, he is prone to impatient and irritable.
At this moment, Zhang Fei dismounted and waved his folding fan. He saw that all the guests behind him stood up, all with swords and bows, and several were holding spears or halberds, lined up in two rows. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly on them, and the weapons shone brightly at the door.
Liu He looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself: "Brother Fei is going to intimidate me?"
During the time when Zhang Fei came, he had imagined several reactions that Zhang Fei might have, but he did not expect the scene in front of him. It was not because it was unexpected, but because it was too vulgar. Isn’t Zhang Fei’s explanation of Yan Yan so roughly?!
There were sixteen people in these two columns, and they all turned their faces to look at Liu He. Some were proud, some were contemptuous, some were murderous, and some were sneered.
"Are you a playboy from the capital?" Zhang Fei inserted the folding fan into his back, then held the ring-headed knife that supported the left waist, and asked.
"I have seen you in Liu He."
"Subject to Liu? Guo's surname?"
The guests who went back to report the news only told the story about the incident and did not mention Liu He's name. Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal and asked, "Where are Han clan relatives from the capital?"
“Yes.”
"Haha." Zhang Fei pointed at Liu He and said with his smile: "No wonder he is so brave that a mere guest officer dares to seize my uncle! It turns out that he is self-reliant." Before Xiao fell to the ground, he changed his color and scolded, "Do you want to fight against my Zhang family with Liu?"
Liu He did not know Zhang Fei, and this was his first meeting, but through Geng Qiu, Liu Xiu and others, he had a good understanding of this person's temper and character. He knew that he was domineering and arrogant, and he always regarded himself as a hero. He said to himself: "If I show weakness, I will be humiliated."
He replied: "Today there are only Simas in other departments, and there are no relatives in the Han Dynasty."
"Haha. You know a little bit! Let me tell you the truth, I didn't know that you were a relative of the Han Dynasty, but even if you were from the Liu family, I would like to ask you, what can I do?"
"I have also read "The Book of Taishi Gong". In the former Chang'an, I may respect you a little!" Zhang Fei bowed to the southwest, "Now, since Emperor Xiaoshang of Luoyang, the Grand Tutor is not a direct descendant... Huh? Speaking of this, I am wondering, which royal family are you?"
"The descendant of King Gong of Donghai."
"But I heard that the current Donghai King is not Liu Zhi?" Zhang Fei suddenly shouted: "It turns out that it is not the master of Donghai, but a private family! People like slaves dare to disobey my wishes and detain my uncle!"
He leaned forward and shouted with anger, "Aren't you afraid of my Zhang family's sword and axe?"
At this moment, Xu Rong, Liu Bei, Liu Xiu and others could not bear it anymore. The so-called humiliation of the ministers, they couldn't help but draw their swords and rise up.
Liu He still didn't say anything, looking at him quietly, meaning that he would finish speaking, and signaled Xu Rong and others not to be impulsive.
But Zhang Fei had finished speaking at this moment. He had a strong momentum, but he didn't hear Liu He's answer. The scene fell silent for a moment, which was quite embarrassing.
Fortunately, his passenger was a good person and hurriedly saved Zhang Fei's place. He stared at him and asked, "Are you not afraid of my Zhang family's swords and axes?"
Then Liu He replied slowly: "I only know the Han system, but I don't know the swords and axes."
At this time, a man pulled out his knife on his waist and threatened: "Do you know now?"
Liu He looked at him calmly and laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"Since I entered the territory of Zhuo County, I have heard of the name of Zhang for a long time. All the heroes in the countryside said: the young master of the Zhang family is open and genius, generous and heroic. When I meet today, it is better to be famous than to meet!"
Everyone likes to listen to good words. Although Zhang Fei wanted to humiliate Liu He, he was proud to hear his praise. When he heard the second half, he was unhappy and asked, "'It's better to be famous than to meet'? What do you mean?"
When he was unhappy, the few people he attacked were immediately unhappy. He could hear "clang", "clang", and "clang" sounds endlessly. Everyone with weapons were drawn out of their sheath and stared at Liu He.
Liu He responded to the soldiers' weapons being unsheathed, and looked calm. He looked at Zhang Fei and laughed loudly.
Zhang Fei asked inexplicably, "Why are you laughing?"
"Your name is Fei, and his courtesy name is Yide. Although his courtesy name is De, he is domineering! How can he call himself a hero like this!"
"Zhu Zi! You..." Zhang Fei was about to draw his sword, but he thought again: I claim to be a hero, this playboy scholar wants to show off his verbal words. If I draw my sword, wouldn't I bully the weak and lose the demeanor of a hero?
"Okay! Let's talk about what a hero is?" Zhang Fei changed his previous angry attitude.
"You have a saying in front of you, saying that you claim to be studying, but you know that the hero "Yuan Juxian"?"
Although Zhang Fei has read books, he prefers calligraphy and painting. How can he know such allusions? Ask him: "Do you know?"
He didn't even read the books, and he shook his head.
He replied to Liu He: "I don't know."
"Yuan Juxian is Yuan Shi, the hero of the previous dynasty. Do you know Yuan Shi?"
Yuan She, whose courtesy name was Juxian, was from Yangdi, Yingchuan. His father was the prefect of Nanyang and died of illness. According to the customs at that time, the chief officials who died of death could collect a sum of money locally as funeral expenses, and the gifts from their disciples and former officials were more than 10 million, but Yuan She returned them to them, and he brought the coffin back to his hometown to bury his father, and mourned for him for three years. At that time, the ethics were not strict, and there were not many people who strictly observed the Confucian mourning period. He refused money and was also mourning period, so he was praised by the people of the world. Whether it was famous scholars or raids, they competed to get along with him, and were proud to know him.
Later, he was the Grand Situ Shidanju who could cure the opera and was the Gukou ruler. He was over 20 years old. Gukou heard his name and treated him without saying anything.
She Sanshu was killed by the Qin family of Maoling. She lived in Gukou for half a year and impeached himself to revenge. Gukou Hao Jie killed Qin family and died for more than a year. After more than a year of pardon, he was pardoned. All the tyrants of the county and state, Chang'an, and all the righteous people in Wuling were admired.
He was both resigned and mourned, and resigned from his post because of revenge. He put all kinds of deeds together. In addition, he was bold and generous, and was anxious, so he became the leader of the heroes in Guanzhong and a well-known hero in the world. His reputation has been passed down to this day and is still admired by many heroes.
After Liu He finished speaking, Zhang Fei pondered for a while: "It's a great hero."
"That's right. Do you know why Yuanshe is famous in China and is famous at that time?"
"Because he helps the poor and helps the poor, he is still very proud."
"Yes, do you know what integrity is?"
"First of all, we must be committed, keep our faith and respect our system. I have also heard that Ji Bu promised a thousand gold medals." Zhang Fei's attitude suddenly became humble.
"You are a person who is good at studying and wise, and you must have a sense of integrity. You may have been filial to your uncle, but have you been filial to the country? If everyone does not abide by the laws of the country like you, what will happen in the world? This is just a small filial piety, not a big filial piety! A small loyal thief harms a big loyalty, and a small filial piety harms a big filial piety. Yes, both trust and righteousness are established in the system. What is a system? Rules. Without rules, you cannot be a square! I heard a story in "Zuo Zhuan", do you know?" Liu He looked serious.
"Feixi listen carefully."
There was a minister in the State of Wei, named Shi Gui... Duke Zhuang of Wei had three sons, Da Ji Wan, Ji Jin, and Sanzhou Xu. Zhou Xu was the most favored by Duke Zhuang, and developed a cruel and violent character. He did everything evil and became a great harm to Chaoge. Shi Gui advised Duke Zhuang to discipline and restrain Zhou Xu several times, but Duke Zhuang did not listen.
Shi Hou, the son of Shi Hou, often went hunting with Zhou Xu, and did evil deeds. Shi Hou was furious and beat him fifty times with a whip, locked him into the room. Shi Hou escaped through the window and lived in Zhou Xu's mansion. He did not go home, but still followed Zhou Xu to do something wrong every day, harming the people. After Duke Zhuang's death, Ji Wan succeeded to the throne and claimed to be Duke Huan of Wei. Shi Qing saw that he was cowardly and incompetent by nature, and returned to his hometown, and did not participate in the government. At this time, Zhou Xu became even more domineering.
Then Zhou Xu listened to the plan of Shi Hou, which caused Duke Huan to seize the throne. Zhou Xu, Shi Hou, in order to subdue the people and establish his authority in neighboring countries, bribed Lu, Chen, Cai, and Song to defend the country. He conquered the young and middle-aged men to attack Zheng, causing the people to be damaged. At that time, Chaoge had a folk song saying: One hero died, one hero was the most powerful, and singing and dancing turned into swords and weapons. When will the peace be seen?
Zhou Xu was very worried when he saw that the people did not support him. Shi Hou asked Zhou Xu to ask his father Shi Qing to come out to take charge of the country's affairs. Zhou Xu sent ministers to bring Baibi and Bai Su to invite him for five hundred bells. Shi Qing refused to accept gifts, and said that he had seriously ill and refused, and Shi Hou went home to invite him in person.
"Are you guessing he agreed to come out later?" Liu He asked Zhang Fei.
"How can a person who kills a monarch and brother be assisted in such a vain in his human nature?" Zhang Fei said angrily.
But Shi Gui had long wanted to get rid of the root of disaster and eliminate harm for the country and the people. He took advantage of Shi Hou to ask him to participate in politics and pretended to make a suggestion that the new lord ascended the throne and could meet the King of Zhou, and the people of the country were willing to obey. The king of Chen was loyal to the King of Zhou, and the King of Zhou admired him very much. You should go to Chen with the new lord and ask Duke Huan of Chen to plead for love with the King of Zhou, and the King of Zhou met him. Shi Hou was very happy and prepared generous gifts to Chen and asked Chen to be able to be with the King of Zhou.
Seeing this, Shi Cai cut his finger, wrote a blood letter, and sent someone to Chen State in advance. The blood letter said: "We defend the people without any life, which is what Zhou Xu did, but my rebellious son Shi Hou helped the evil and was seriously guilty. If the two rebellions were not punished, the people would not survive. I was old and weak, and I was unable to follow my heart. Now the two thieves have driven to your country, which is my plan. I hope that your country will execute the two thieves to death. This is a great blessing for defending the country!"
The great minister of Chen State, Zizhen, had a close relationship with Shi Gui. When he saw the blood letter, he reported to Duke Huan of Chen. Duke Huan ordered Zhou Xu to be arrested. Shi Hou was about to be beheaded, but the ministers reported: "Shi Hou is a parent-child of Shi Gui, and should act cautiously and ask Weiguo to come and ask him to be punished by himself."
When Shi Cai knew that the two thieves were captured, he rushed to Xing State to pick up Ji Jin (Zhou Xu's brother) ascended to the position (i.e. Duke Xuan of Wei), and asked the ministers to discuss matters. All the ministers said, "Zhou Xu's chief evil should be killed, and Shi Hou's accomplices can be eliminated." Shi Cai said seriously: "Zhou Xu's crimes are caused by my unfilial son. I will be sent to him lightly. Would I let me show my favoritism and abandon the righteousness?" Confusing silently, Shi Cai's retainer Yang Jian said, "The elders of the country do not need to be angry, I will go to Chen to handle this matter."
Yang Jian came to Chen and killed Shi Hou. Shi Hou said, "I deserve to kill me. Please imprison me back to Weiguo and die after seeing my father." Yang Jian said, "I will punish my rebellious son on your father's order. I want to see your father. I will take your head back to see him!" Then he killed him.
Zhang Fei said, "A loyal and righteous minister can destroy his relatives for justice! This is what a real man should do!"
"So, and there is a question."
“What’s the problem?”
"May I ask, do you want to be a Shizi, who is like Yuanshe?"
"That's more to say!"
"Is it a wish as original, or is it a wish as a stone siege?"
"Both are wished!" Zhang Fei said generously, "In life, geese will leave their reputations behind. If they can be like stone huts, they will be famous in the future and admired by heroes, and they will be willing to die."
