Three Kingdoms

Chapter 217 The Theory of the Weeping Master

Fei sneaked into the study room of Cai Mansion and saw the slightly aloof Cai Yong looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but get wet in his eyes. He stepped forward to pay homage and pay homage to Master Cai Yong.

Cai Yong smiled and twirled his beard, stretched out his hand to signal Fei Qian to stand up, looked up and down, and said, "Zi Yuan's body is full of energy and his charm is restrained. He should have gained a lot."

"The kindness of a teacher is so great that it is difficult to repay it even if it happens."

Cai Yong waved his hand and said, "But Liu Jingzhou sent you to Jingye?"

"No...I have resigned..." Fei Qian replied, "Coming here this time is not Liu Jingzhou's order, but my wish..."

Cai Yong did not ask Fei Qian's so-called wishes first, but said: "Could Liu Jingzhou... have a reason? You can tell me, there is no need to worry."

Fei Qian then told Cai Yong in detail about his appointment as Jingzhou's special chariot, and said: "Liu Jingzhou is handsome and strong, with equal emphasis on kindness and power, and a well-mannered emperor. Why do you think that Xibo can rule... "

Xibo refers to King Wen of Zhou. Because Ji Chang succeeded to the position of Marquis of Xibo, he was called Xibochang, later king, and historically known as King Wen of Zhou.

In Confucian culture, King Wen of the Western Bodhisattva Zhou Dynasty is highly praised because during his reign, King Wen of Zhou Dynasty "kept clear virtues and was cautious about punishments", was diligent in political affairs, treated the virtuous and corporal, and recruited talents, so that "the world is divided into three parts, and the second part returns to Zhou", and he collected Yu, Rui, conquered Li, Xian and other countries, laying a solid foundation for King Wu to destroy the Shang; and culturally it is said that he performed the "Book of Changes".

In addition, it was also Xibo who created the Zhou rites, which were highly praised by later Confucians. Confucius even called King Wen "the hero of the three generations".

Fei Qian's words about Liu Biao were also cryptic. After all, he had just resigned from Liu Biao and turned around to say bad things about Liu Biao. This was indeed not a good idea, but his master Cai Yong asked again, so he couldn't do it without saying anything. So he used "Xibo" to describe Liu Biao...

"Xibo" is a good word when used to describe a monarch, but when used to describe a local governor, it's a no-brainer...

It was obviously the first time for Cai Yong to hear someone describe Liu Biao in this way. Naturally, he knew what the word Xibo meant. He couldn't help but said: "In the past, when I was in Beijing, Jing Sheng was a man of many talents. He understood all the chapters and sentences of the Five Classics. He knew the celestial phenomena and stars very well. He also felt that In view of the unfairness of the officials in the world, the chief prince said that there is a place in the world where he can exert his influence..."

Listening to this meaning, when Liu Biao met Cai Yong in the capital, didn't he leave the impression on Cai Yong that he was a passionate young man?

Maybe Liu Biao was still passionate when he was young, but when he entered Jingzhou with a weak manpower, he still made some changes in the face of the reality of cruel struggle.

Fei Qian did not answer Cai Yong's words anymore. Anyway, he had just explained clearly some of the things he had done in Jingzhou. As for what Liu Biao was like, I believe Cai Yong would also have his own judgment.

Cai Yong comforted Fei Qian and said, "Don't worry about Ziyuan. With your talents, you should have the opportunity to serve the imperial court. During this time of turmoil between the government and the public, it would be a good idea to keep it quiet."

Fei Qian was a little touched. Cai Yong's attitude was really like that of relatives in later generations. When he saw his children giving up their jobs, he didn't even complain, only comfort and encouragement...

Cai Yong continued: "Where do you live now? There is no one in your old house, so I might not be able to live in it." Fei Qian's original house was relatively old, and now it has not been cleaned and tidied up for several months. It is estimated that there will be some damage and weeds. These are still minor problems. It’s more difficult when you encounter some insects, rats, ants and the like. If you don’t take care of them, you won’t be able to live in them...

Fei Qian said: "I am currently living in Cuijiazhuang in the north of the city."

"Cui's village in the north of the city? Is it the village of Cui Weikao?" After receiving Fei Qian's confirmation, Cai Yong hummed and said, "Cui Weikao was a famous scholar in Jizhou, but he sold his official title on the list. Although he was ranked among the three nobles, his reputation was diminished... …Zi Yuan, you must not ignore it.”

"Wei!" Fei Qian nodded in agreement. Regarding merchants, the Qingliu nobles always thought that they were full of the smell of copper. Cai Yong also reminded Fei Qian that it was okay to live there, but he should not be influenced by the Cui family and do business as a merchant, which would ruin his reputation. .

Fei Qian paused, thought again and again, and finally said to Cai Yong: "Qian has something unclear and would like to ask the master for advice."

"Zi Yuan, please tell me."

"I recently read Zuo Zhuan, and I heard that Uncle Jian's son and his teacher sent him and predicted, 'The imperial guards of the Jin people must be in Guo, and there are two mausoleums in Guo. The south mausoleum is the tomb of Xia Hou Gao; the north mausoleum is the residence of King Wen. To ward off the wind and rain, you will definitely die in this period, and you will not be able to collect your bones!' Then Qin Shi went east and returned with a great defeat. Is there anyone in the world who can predict things like a god?"

Uncle Jian was a wise man during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, Duke Mu of Qin wanted to attack the State of Zheng, and to attack Zheng State he had to pass through the border of the State of Jin, so he asked his old minister Jian Shu for advice. Uncle Jian held objections, but Duke Mu of Qin did not listen. Instead, he sent three generals, Meng Mingshi, Xiqishu and Bai Yibing, to attack Zheng.

At that time, Uncle Jian's son was also in the army. Uncle Jian cried and sent his son off and said, "The people of Jin will definitely fight against our army in Mount Gu. There are two hills in the valley. The hill to the south is the tomb of Wang Gao of Xia, and the hill to the north is the tomb of King Wen of Zhou." This is where the king took shelter from the wind and rain. You will definitely die in battle between these two mountains. Let me go there to collect your bones!" Later, the Qin army was defeated and returned.

"Zi Yuan still doesn't know that strange power can mess up the gods? It's not planned, it's an unjust attack..." Cai Yong said halfway, pointed at Fei Qian with his finger, and laughed, "Zi Yuan borrowed Zuo Zhuan to explain this. Yeah? Tell me, who is the unrighteous one?"

Fei Qian cupped his hands and said: "When a person has no love, he has no fear; if he has no fear, he desires to swell; if he wants to swell, he is wanton and does not know the law. The chaos among the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period was actually the desire to fight for power. Use skills and techniques. Even at the end of the day, his life is uncontrollable. Nowadays, the weak prey on the strong, and ruthlessness is common. The strong can fall in one day, and the weak can explode in one night. The strong is not always strong, and the weak is not always weak, neither of which is the right way."

Fei Qian's meaning is also very clear. The current situation is going to the old path of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There is no so-called right and wrong. In fact, they are just excuses shouted by people who are fighting for power. Now both sides are using their own His desires are higher than those of the country, and he simply ignores the laws of the country. This is already a bit unscrupulous. How can this be said to be moral?

Moreover, it is not yet completely certain who is strong and who is weak. The situation may change in an instant, making the situation extremely unstable...

Cai Yong pondered for a while and said: "According to your wishes...there are still variables in this matter?"

Cai Yong did not criticize Fei Qian's remarks about including the Kanto gentry side into the scope of "innocent", because in Cai Yong's view, these princes mobilized troops to leave the country without any clear orders from the state, although it was possible that they had good intentions. But in fact, they have already ignored the laws of the country...

It’s a joke I’ve said before, but many people don’t understand it…

Now specifically list the context...

When Cao Cao defeated Jizhou, Pi was in the army with his father. He led his troops first and went straight to Yuan Shao's house. He dismounted and entered with his sword drawn. One of the generals responded and said: "The Prime Minister has ordered that no one is allowed to enter Shao's Mansion." Pi scolded and retreated, raising his sword and entering the back hall. Seeing two women hugging each other and crying, they didn't move forward to kill them. ...But it was said that Cao Pi saw the two women crying and drew his sword to kill them. Suddenly his eyes were filled with red light, so he pressed his sword and asked, "Who are you?" A woman said, "I am the wife of General Yuan, Mrs. Liu." Pi asked, "Who is this woman?" Mrs. Liu said: "This time, Yuan Xi's wife is Zhen. Because Xi went out to town in Youzhou, Zhen didn't want to travel far, so she stayed here." Pi dragged the woman closer and saw her hair was covered with dirt. If you look at the face without wiping it with the sleeves of your shirt, you will see the beautiful appearance of Zhen's jade skin, which looks like it would overwhelm the country. Then he said to Mrs. Liu, "I am the son of Prime Minister Cao. I would like to protect your family. Don't worry." Dao sat in the hall with his sword in his hand. ... Cao Cao went to the gate of Shao Mansion and asked, "Who has ever entered this gate?" The guard said, "The prince is here." Cao called him to blame. Mrs. Liu went out to worship and said, "I can't save my family unless I am the prince. I would like Mrs. Zhen to hold the broom for the prince." Caojiao summoned Mrs. Zhen and bowed before him. Cao Cao looked at her and said, "She is truly my son-in-law!"

Please savor Master Cao’s words carefully...
