Chapter 45 Recommendation to Taishi
"Feng'er, in your opinion, this Han Xun can be killed?"
Liu Bei originally wanted to kill Han Xun directly with a knife, but he found that Liu Feng He didn't mean to agree. When the words came to his lips, they changed into questions.
"You can kill, but you can't kill now."
Liu Feng was also angry. He wanted to see whether Han Xun planned it by himself, or whether he had the guidance of an expert.
"Father can promise him, but he will just postpone it to see what happens. In addition, he will secretly send people to monitor Han Xun to see who he has close contacts with."
Liu Bei understood and knew that Liu Feng's plan was to lure the snake out of the hole. , suddenly very excited.
"Okay! Just follow what Feng'er said."
After discussing the matter, Liu Bei learned that Liu Feng had only eaten half of his lunch, so he asked him to stay and eat with him .
"It just so happens that the child has something to do and wants to come to his father."
"Oh?"
Liu Bei asked the servants to bring the food, and asked: "What's the matter?"
Liu Feng replied: "The child knows that his father is short of talents, and he is looking for talents. If thirsty. So I have been thinking hard these past few days, trying to relieve my father's worries.
Fortunately, the child has been reminded of a few people who are outstanding and upright.
My father is lacking in talent at this time. Jun, they should be recruited to make up for the shortcomings.”
"Oh?"
When it comes to talents, Big Ear Brother is always very excited, with a happy face: "Feng'er, come quickly, there is nothing wrong with being a father."
Liu Feng took out a few letters from his arms: "My father has seen this leader before."
"Oh?"
Liu Bei thought about it: "I wonder which scholar he is? ”
"Donglai Taishi Ci!"
The first thing Liu Feng said was Taishi Ci. Now is his last window. In the second half of this year, Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao's generals Fan Neng and Yu Mi in Hengjiangjin, and broke through When Jiang Fang was advancing on Dong'a, Taishi Ci arrived just in time.
Calculating the time, Taishi Ci should set off from Donglai in the middle of the year. If he is not conquered now, he will not have the chance again when he goes to Jiangdong.
Although Tai Shici only visited his friend Liu Yao, even he himself could not have imagined that he would never return to the north again and would end up in Jiangdong from then on.
"Tai Shi Ziyi is seven feet and seven inches tall, with a beautiful beard and beard, an ape-like arm that is good at shooting, and a sound string and hair, just like the reincarnation of Yuji. I prefer this person to have a heroic character, loyalty, courage, humility, filial piety, civility and martial arts If you have both, you will be able to take care of your father in the future.”
Taishi Ci's reputation went through a huge ups and downs in later generations.
In the earliest days, Taishi Ci was as brave and loyal as Zhao Yun. Many people liked him and recognized his loyalty.
Especially the part with Sun Ce where he turned enemies into friends and returned as scheduled, his reputation was raised to an extremely high level.
Only later, many people read a sentence recorded in Wu's book.
“When your husband is alive, he should carry a seven-foot sword to ascend to the rank of emperor. If you don’t follow your ambition, you will die!”
The problem with this sentence seems to be huge, especially the Seven-foot Sword, which is regarded as ironclad evidence to prove how crazy Taishi Ci is and actually wants to be the emperor.
The most fundamental logic of these people is that the seven-foot sword cannot be worn by human ministers. It is a gift from the emperor.
Let’s not talk about whether Taishi Ci would cheat his son a lot before he died. He had a son, Taishi Heng. Not to mention that in the entire paragraph of Wu Shu, at the end, Sun Quan even had the suffix "Quan deeply regretted it."
Could it be that Sun Quan was regretting that Taishi Ci died early? , can't you compete with yourself for the throne?
Of course, the most important thing is the issue of the seven-foot sword.
If this cannot be explained, then Tai Shici cannot be cleansed.
There is an incident in the history book that perfectly explains this point.
In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Feng Yichuan records: At that time, Chimei and Yancen rebelled against the three assistants, and the major surnames in the counties and counties supported their troops. The great Situ Deng Yu could not decide, so he sent a different generation of Yu to attack them. He was driven to Henan and given a chariot with a seven-foot sword.
What is said here is that when Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty attacked the Red Eyebrow Army, in order to increase Feng Yi's prestige and publicize his achievements, Liu Xiu personally sent a carriage to deliver a seven-foot sword to Henan and gave it to Feng Yi. different.
Can it be said here that Feng Yixiang wants to be the emperor?
Can we say that Emperor Guangwu gave up his throne to Feng Yi?
Furthermore, Taishi Ci was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The most important allusion between the two Han Dynasties is that Taishi Ci's words before his death were probably to express his ambition. He once wanted to be like the great tree general Feng Yi, and establish immortal merits for the emperor. , wearing the seven-foot sword given by the emperor, let the emperor step down to welcome him, and achieve his ambition to become Wang Zuo.
The seven-foot sword here is a ceremonial sword. To some extent, it can refer to the nature of Shang Fang's sword in the future, rather than expressing the intention of becoming an emperor.
Therefore, Liu Feng firmly believed that Taishi Ci was still the godly general who was loyal, courageous, superb in archery, extremely loyal, and loyal to his emperor and his master.
Hearing the name Taishi Ci, Liu Bei suddenly remembered the Shandong man who broke out from Kong Rong's siege in the plains and came to him for help.
Liu Bei was also deeply impressed at the time, and he was tempted at that time. He only regretted that he was not well-known and had a low official position at that time, so he could not recruit the other party.
Now when Liu Feng said it, he was immediately moved. It was not possible in the past, but now I have become the prefecture shepherd. Taishi Ziyi may not reject me again.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Liu Bei nodded repeatedly, regretting a little: "Fortunately, Feng'er reminded me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to think of Ziyi."< br>
Liu Bei was also too busy. Although he wanted to recruit Tai Shici before, he really thought he had the ability, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
It was also thanks to Liu Feng who helped him make up for his omissions.
The first person recommended by Liu Feng made Liu Bei very attracted, which also made Liu Bei look forward to the next two people even more.
“Father, the second person I recommend is named Shiyi.”
Liu Feng recommended: “This person’s name is Shiyi. His mission, combined with his literary talent and talent, are enough to make you trust him. If he can be put to good use, he will be a talent as important as the wood that supports the tiles of a house.”
Liu Bei had never heard of Shiyi's name, but since Liu Feng praised him so much, Liu Bei was willing to entrust his trust to Shiyi.
“This is a good thing!”
Liu Feng finally revealed the third person: “Wang Xiu of Yingling, named Shuzhi, was from Yingling, Beihai County, and was a close friend of Kong Beihai. , rescued Kong Beihai several times. He was upright and far-sighted. He was now the magistrate of Jiaodong. He governed Jiaodong, restrained the powerful, encouraged farming and mulberry cultivation, and made clear rewards and punishments. He was deeply loved by the scholars and people of Jiaodong. His talent could not be limited by the prefectures and counties, and he should be conquered quickly. Pi Zhi! "
Wang Xiu's name is not like Yi. Because of his virtuous and filial conduct, he is very famous in Beihai, and he was almost recommended as Xiaolian by Kong Rong.
Although Wang Xiu tried to give Xiaolian to Bingyuan several times, Kong Rong insisted not to do so and wrote several letters to persuade him.
This Bing Yuan was not an ordinary person. Along with Guan Ning and Hua Xin, he was known as the sage of Jian'an Yilong.
Wang Xiu was able to suppress Bing Yuan, which shows how talented and famous he is.
