[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

It may not have been more than a few months since Mi Heng came, and he has already spread his ridicule function to every corner of the inner city.

He made a name for his talents in Xudu, and he also became famous for his madness in Xudu.

Some students appreciate his talent and wildness, and admire his spirit of not fearing authority; but more students are very disgusted with his temper, thinking that he is arrogant, contrary to the modesty of a gentleman, and will bite anyone who is caught.

Therefore, many people "run away after hearing about you", and consciously detour when they see You Heng; Step on it hard.

Among the group of literature and history gathered by the Sikong Mansion to write books, there are a few of Mi Heng's "deadly loyal blacks". They were called here today and met Mi Heng in the long corridor.

The long corridor is not too narrow, Mi Heng did not squint, and moved her steps to the right.

Those people took a few steps in the same direction, blocking Mi Heng's way:

"It's really strange. You just showed your supernatural power a few days ago, and played a big role in front of Sikong. Today you still dare to come here alone. It's really courageous."

"I humiliate the official, but I still have the face to appear here. If I use his face to repair the city wall, it will be as solid as gold."

The two literature and history sang together, and the remaining three literature and history snickered, with malicious intentions.

If it was before, Mi Heng would have sprayed these five people from head to toe, including the strands of hair, unceremoniously.

But now he has made a bet with Cui Song - not to argue with others, not to criticize others, to be a quiet mobile brush, and to do his best to contribute to the cultural cause of Xudu until he has finished copying more than a thousand copies.Therefore, it was rare for him to remain silent, allowing these people to laugh.

"What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your virgin who always loves to talk has turned into a mute?"

The other person immediately cheered up: "Could it be that you offended people because of your rude words, and were poisoned dumb?"

... If possible, You Heng would like to make the two people in front of you poisonous and dumb, and exchange them with clean ears.

He would like to learn from Cui Song's indifferent style of "letting others let go, but I will stand still" at the Luoyang Wenhui.But in the face of other people's provocations, if he could endure it, then he would not be Mi Heng.

As the so-called literati have two sharp weapons: a pen and a mouth.

Pen and ink attack, the mouth is as sharp as a knife, and if you get it right, you will not forgive others.

Mi Heng was stabbed several times one after another, and he endured it again and again, his veins throbbing.

Seeing that Mi Heng didn't fight back, those people thought it was because he had been punished by Sikong, and it was rare for him to restrain his temper, so they intensified and sneered endlessly.

The guards of the Sikong Mansion along the road didn't like him at all because of Ni Heng's "beating drums and scolding Cao" a few days ago and insulting Cao Cao with his bare arms.

In this way, Mi Heng was blocked in the road by five people, taking turns to sarcasm.In the end, he threw the hair crown on his head to the ground... rolled up his sleeves and hit someone.

Since you can't move your mouth, can you do it with your hands?

A melee.

In the end, Mi Heng, who was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and five scribes who were also beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, were invited to Cao Cao together.

Cao Cao: ...

Mi Heng: One pig's head is against five pig's heads, and the blood is not lost.

Cao Cao looked at Cui Song and signaled with his eyes: The people you brought caused trouble for Gu on the first day.

Cui Song also conveyed the message with his eyes: My lord, I can't slap you.Let’s ask what’s going on first.

Cao Cao sighed, and said with concern: "How did you get hurt like this? Chang Ning, hurry up and get the best wound medicine."

Cao Cao's practice of asking his entourage to take the wound medicine without first being held accountable made the five literature and history feel ashamed and uneasy.

Mi Heng didn't have the slightest pressure, bowed his head and acted like his mute.

The medicine was delivered, and a few people rubbed the wound medicine, changing from looking like a pig's head to... like a shiny pig's head.

For the literati of the Eastern Han Dynasty who paid attention to manners and demeanor, this appearance was more unbearable than being beaten and scolded.

The five people looked at their ugly faces, and regretted in their hearts: If I knew this, I would do nothing to provoke that evil star!

One of them said: "We had a quarrel with you and lost our composure in the mansion, please Sikong punish us."

In the words, he didn't put all the responsibility on Mi Heng, which surprised Mi Heng a little.

The other four people were probably headed by this person, and they all spoke in agreement.

"Zihe, you have always been prudent. Now Cui Bucheng has presented more than a thousand volumes of precious literature to the court. I know that you have a brilliant literary talent. I invited him to come and transcribe. I just wanted you to take care of me. I never thought that this would happen. thing."

"Zihe" showed shame: "It's my fault, I failed Sikong's love."

"This matter is not big, and it is not small. Let's do this, you will all participate in the transcription and compilation of documents in the future, and these documents were presented by Cui Bucheng. How to be punished is up to Cui Bucheng." Cheng is in charge." After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked at Cui Song, his eyes revealing the meaning of "I leave it to you", "Zicong, what do you think Zihe and others should do?"

A big leather ball was brought over out of thin air, and Cui Song took it steadily:

"It's like a mortise-and-mortise wooden table. The chisels and sticks always have to be worn in before they can be used normally. In my humble opinion, it's better to let them eat and live together, which is convenient for business and cultivates feelings."

Received Mi Heng's stare, Cui Song turned a blind eye, "What do you think, my lord?"

"This is a great deal." Cao Cao also ignored the pleading gazes of the five literature and history, and made a final decision, "I will do as Zi Cong said."

Mi Heng and the five people were dragged by Cao Cao's guards to the backyard of the government office to "sleep together", and only Cao Cao and Cui Song were left in the hall.

Cao Cao said: "Zicong has a deep heart for you, I hope you will live up to your kindness."

Cui Song bowed to Cao Cao, "I would also like to thank my lord for fulfillment."

"Although Zihe has a literary talent, he has a deep understanding of some things. Gu also borrowed Zicong's power to sharpen his sword for Zihe."

With the involvement of Cao Cao and Cui Song, this matter has come to an end.

A few days later, Cui Song and Guo Jia were playing chess in the hall.Hearing the servant's report, "There is a samurai who claims to be Cui's trilogy and came to find Cui Bucheng", Cui Song put down the chess pieces and said with a smile.

"It should be Ji Ming."

Ji Ming was Cui Song's swordsman, Xu Zhuo, who was guarding him when Cui Song just crossed over.

Once Cui Song no longer trusted Xu Zhuo and others because of the assassin's suspicion and the betrayal of the maid Gan Ji.But under Cui Furuo's inadvertent suggestion that "scholars are afraid of their own sword", he no longer deliberately alienated Xu Zhuo and Qiao Ji, but secretly probed their temperament.

After several years of getting along and running in, Cui Song concluded that Xu and Qiao are affectionate and righteous, and they are definitely not villains who are ungrateful for profit. While giving trust, they also gained their wholehearted loyalty.

When Cui Song came to Xudu, he didn't take Xu and Qiao with him, but sent them to other places to work secretly.

Calculating the distance and the time to complete the two tasks, it was almost time for Xu Zhuo to return to him.

Guo Jia naturally knew who Ji Ming was.In these years, he and Cui Song get together less and stay away more, but they often talk about everything.Even if he doesn't ask, he knows more about Cui Song than others.

"But 'that thing' has a clue?"

"It's too early to make a conclusion. Whether there are clues or not, we can only tell after seeing Ji Ming."

The two "assassination incidents" made Cui Song, who was still immature at the time, vigilant day and night, guarding against hidden arrows hidden somewhere.

During the trip to Chang'an, the mastermind behind the first "assassination incident" took the initiative to arrest: it turned out that the clan Liu Yao was heard by "Cui Song" because of his rebellious words after drinking. Spy on Cui Song's skills.

Then Liu Yao died. Although Cui Song solved a hidden danger, he also lost the clue of the "second assassination incident"——

Relying on the clues that Cui Song has detected over the years, the original "Cui Song" was quick-witted, wise, advanced and retreated properly, and never forged a life-and-death enmity with anyone; the only mistake was being invited to drink by Liu Yao after he was filial For some unknown reason, he didn't refuse. Not only did he hear Liu Yao's rebellious usurpation, but he also got drunk and uttered shocking and rebellious remarks...

Coupled with the sequence and time interval between the second assassination and the first assassination, Cui Song reasonably suspected that although the second assassination was not done by Liu Yao, it was also related to Liu Yao.

The person who sent the assassin should have received a message from Liu Yao.

According to the investigation of Liu Yao's interpersonal relationship one by one, Cui Song finally locked on the most likely target among them.

Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu.

This person and Liu Yao are both clan members of the Han family and are loyal to the royal family.What later generations are most fond of is the deed of "Yuan Shao wanted to push Liu Yu to be emperor, but Liu Yu sternly refused".

If Liu Yao concealed his treasonous words from Liu Yu, he either intentionally or unintentionally revealed Cui Song's words to Liu Yu.Then, will Liu Yu, who is loyal to the Han Dynasty and has a good relationship with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong, send an assassin to kill Cui Song because he suspects the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty?

Cui Song even rehearsed the cause and effect of the incident according to Liu Yao:

Liu Yao suspects that Lingdi's death is related to him because of "Cui Song"'s "crow's mouth" which is bizarrely fulfilled.Liu Yao, who was overwhelmed by the means of the gods and ghosts, was not only guilty of sending an assassin, but also deeply afraid of Cui Song's means.

Afraid of being retaliated against, he poured out bitterness to Liu Yu, who was also in the clan, or for some purpose, told Liu Yu what Cui Song said "(Emperor Ling) is so difficult to die".

And Liu Yu also became suspicious of Cui Song, who had spoken prophecy-like rebellious words because of Emperor Ling's sudden death.

Therefore, perhaps there is an element of "preferring to kill by mistake rather than let it go", maybe Liu Yu really has some crucial evidence... He sent killers to block the way and robbed the road many times, trying to kill Cui Song Bury the dead in the mountains.

If the killer who intercepted him halfway was really sent by Liu Yu, Cui Song would not need to solve this matter——

Because Liu Yu was defeated in Youzhou as early as the fourth year of Chuping (AD 193) and was beheaded by Gongsun Zan.

Cui Song hasn't met any assassins since that "halfway interception".If Liu Yu was the mastermind of the second assassination, the timeline would just match up.

Cui Song was full of emotions, and finally returned to peace.

If this is the end of the matter, that would be great.

If not...
