Chapter 101
Before Zhong Ping met Tao Qian, he estimated that the other party should be about 60 years old. According to history, Tao Qian only had two years left to live, so he might not look very good.

When he really met Tao Qian, Zhong Ping found that Tao Qian did give people an impression of listlessness and drowsiness, but this was not because of the other party's age, it should be because of the pair of eyes that are always squinting.

"Hmm... Who's here? Oh, it's a kind of Taishi." Tao Qian seemed to be dozing off with his hands on the table, but only now did he feel someone coming in. He squinted his eyes and scanned up and down to figure out the case Looking at the name sticker on the phone, he spoke slowly.

"Meet the envoy."

Zhong Ping was ignored by Tao Qian for about half a quarter of an hour, and he stood quietly in the lower position, with a calm demeanor and never felt embarrassed.

Tao Qian lifted his spirits and didn't get up, pointing directly at the bamboo mat opposite, "Please sit down, Taishi Chong. I'm old, and I'm rude. Don't blame Taishi Ling."

"Don't dare."

The Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, Tao Qian was an elder, no matter how disrespectful he was, it was not for a "little boy" like Chong Ping to "blame". Move the seat and make way for the foot.

Tao Qian's eyes narrowed into slits swept lightly, taking in Zhongping's movements, but he didn't show anything on his face, just waiting for Zhongping to mention the yellow scarf.

Zhong Ping took a sip of water, and saw a chessboard next to the case, on which were black and white chess pieces, which were quite similar to the later Go chess pieces.

He has seen a lot of chess since time travel, such as Liubo playing chess, most of them are woodcut chess pieces, this is the first time he has seen this black and white chess, and it doesn't look like it should have in the Han Dynasty.

"I don't know what kind of chess this is for?"

Tao Qian thought that what Wang Lang said was indeed true, Zhong Ping did not follow the routine, he thought of many ways to speak Ping, but he did not expect that he would have a special liking for this chess set.

"Taishi made me laugh. This is Gewu, a child's play."

Zhong Ping felt a little lost in his heart, he thought...well.

Pei Songzhi's annotation quotes "Book of Wu": "Qian's two sons, Shang and Ying, are not officials." Judging from Tao Qian's age, the pottery merchant should be an adult, and it is impossible to play Gewu.

This should be the toy of his youngest son Tao Ying.

"Mr. Kang Cheng is in Nancheng, so the young master is also sitting under your seat?"

The one who Zhongping asked was naturally the potter, after all, Tao Ying was still playing Ge Wu, and he was probably still at the enlightenment stage, so it was naturally impossible to worship Zheng Xuan as his teacher.

Tao Qian's face was a little ugly, he thought to himself why this man didn't open which pot and which pot, whether my son is under Zheng Xuan's door, you came back from visiting Zheng Xuan yesterday, you didn't know what to do?

"To be honest with Taishi Ling, the old man and the two sons are stubborn and don't like reading."

"Oh." Zhongping nodded, his face was still calm, as if he didn't realize that he had asked the wrong question, and continued, "The classics are obscure, the chess game is flat, the young master's chess moves are smart and evasive, and the brothers' temperaments are basically the same*** Do you think Eldest Young Master likes swords more?"

When people get old, they always like to find a way out for their children and grandchildren. Tao Qian also felt something in his heart when he heard Zhong Ping go around his two sons and fight with him from the beginning to the end.

"If it's a good sword, it's not always true, it's just a quarrel."

Zhong Ping didn't get to the point, but Tao Qian was a little curious about how Zhong Ping would persuade himself to send troops to aid Yanzhou.

"It's good to practice martial arts." Zhong Ping suddenly knelt in front of Tao Qian, "Learn the art of culture and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family. The two Guo and Zhang wrecked Chang'an, the emperor was raised by wolves, and the society was like a dangerous egg. We eat at home Han Lu, reposted in Yinshou, or ordered by Xuanshi, or received favors from the state."

"The words are still in your ears, how can you forget your heart? How can you care for a six-foot solitude when the soil is not dry? If you can turn disaster into blessing, send it to the place where you live, and stand together as the king of diligence. There is no order to abolish the old king. All the nobles will reward you. Refers to the mountains and rivers. After a hundred years of envoy, the son can also trust him."

Tao Qian was caught off guard.

He looked at Zhong Ping on the ground in amazement, this man was really an envoy of the Son of Heaven, not Yanzhou? !
It's all about this, but every Hanchen has to express it.

Tao Qian threw himself in front of Zhongping, enduring the bone pain caused by too violent movements, and helped Zhongping up with all his strength.

"Taishi makes this old man ashamed!" Tao Qian covered his face and wept, "Why doesn't this old man worry about the emperor day and night, and he always has the heart of punishing the thieves and working hard for the king? It's just that the emperor is in the north, even if the old man has the heart, he is powerless!"

Zhong Ping sneered in his heart, but his face responded with a sad look, "How few people in the world are as envoys to the Han Dynasty!"

"I don't have talent, but I live in the position of Taishi. I receive the kindness of the emperor, and I try my best to repay the country. I only hate that I am alone and weak, and I can't do things. I heard that the emperor is righteous."

Zhong Ping saluted again, "Time does not wait for me, the heart of the king, Ping Ming feels five feelings, and bid farewell."

Tao Qian tugged at Zhongping's sleeve, "What do you mean by Tai Shi's saying 'time doesn't wait for me'?"

The part of Zhong Ping's "Ask for Wu Zhao for Xu Jingye" really fits Liu Xie's situation at this time and is touching. Tao Qian still has feelings for the Han Dynasty in his heart. It is impossible to say that he was not moved by Zhong Ping's persuasion at all. of.

Secondly, his two sons are only mediocre talents. Although the eldest son is an adult, he has no intention of becoming an official. He is already in his early years, old and sick, so why can't he worry about the arrangement of these two sons in the future? ?

Therefore, Zhong Ping mentions the youngest son first, and then mentions his eldest son. Tao Qian is more worried. If Liu Xie can be rescued from the hands of Zhang Guo and Zhang Guo, with this achievement, his Tao family will have another hundred years of prosperity and comfort. , is not difficult.

Tao Qian was already moved, and when he heard the words "time does not wait", he felt like he was being scratched.

"Your envoy doesn't know?" Zhong Ping pretended to be surprised and looked around.

"There's no one here." Tao Qian realized that Zhong Ping wanted to tell him some secrets, so he couldn't help but move forward.

He also knew that Zhong Ping was favored by Liu Xie in Chang'an, and now he was asking for help from the emperor. Regarding the situation in Chang'an, Zhong Ping must know more about the situation in Chang'an than the governor of his place.

"Do you know that Lu Bu was surrounded by Guo Zhang and fled to Chang'an to join Yuan Shu?"

"I know. But, didn't Lu Bu vote for Zhang Yang now?"

Zhong said in all sincerity that Lu Bu has now experienced the failure of voting for two yuan, and he is inferior to Zhang Yang?How come I don't know about this...

There was no fluctuation on his face, and then Tao Qianzhi asked, and continued to make up in a serious manner: "Zhang Guo and Zhang Guo were injured by Lu Bu, and their strength was also greatly reduced, and there is still Li Jue who is waiting for an opportunity. subject to the orders of the Son of Heaven."

"Don't you feel suspicious? Chang'an was heavily besieged that day. How could a child like Ping, without the strength to restrain a chicken, live alone in Dongjun?"

With a calm and serious face, he leaned over to Tao Qian and asked in a low voice, "May I know this thing?"

He took out the personal jade that belonged to Liu Bian.
