[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

If Mi Heng is really the Marquis of Tongda, then this Hou Yin should have been deliberately stuck in the well by Mi Heng.The small golden seal is less than half the height of a finger, and it has extraordinary symbolic meaning and is extremely precious.

Under the premise of not intending to expose the real identity, in order to ensure that this gold seal is not stolen or accidentally lost, it is indeed an excellent way to hide it inside the wall of the well.

In addition to this golden seal, Zheng Ping also found some other clues in Mi Heng's belongings that may be related to his identity.

In order to confirm the conjecture in his heart and to take more initiative, Zheng Ping decisively decided to leave for his "hometown" to find Mi Heng's family.

His destination was not Pingyuan County—although Mi Heng claimed to be from Pingyuan County, and the biography he held before he came to Xudu was also from Pingyuan County, but according to the two characters "Tongda" engraved on Hou Yin, it refers to The fief of Tongda County is not in Pingyuan County, but in the southeast of Shanxi, which is separated from Pingyuan County by a Taihang Mountain.

It is not particularly far from Xudu to southeast Shanxi. Converted to the map of modern c country, it is the distance of neighboring provinces.However, in this era of underdeveloped transportation, the distance between the two can be regarded as a long distance.If you rely on walking alone, you will have to walk for at least ten days, not including the loss of crossing mountains and ridges.

Since Zheng Ping put forward his plan to leave Xudu temporarily, Kong Rong entered the old father mode again, thinking about the inconveniences he would encounter on the road every day, adding and subtracting on Zheng Ping's travel list, listing a long list of handwriting .

——The journey is long, and you can walk to fainting with just two feet, so the carriage must be prepared.

——The world is chaotic, and you may encounter robbers and soldiers on the way.In order to improve security, at least one team should be brought with the guards.

——Those people in the guards are rough and don't know how to serve people.Along the way, there must be someone to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and attendants are essential.

——Since you want to bring an attendant, how can an attendant be arranged?Would you not be negligent?No matter what, you should bring two... No, two are still not enough, at least four should be considered reluctant.

——This journey will take at least ten days. There is no entertainment along the way, and it will definitely be very boring. You should bring a book or two to relieve boredom... Always read books in the carriage, which will damage your eyesight. Why don’t you bring some pianos and chess tools? Class objects are also good to relieve boredom.

——It is inconvenient to start a business on the road, and the food must be very simple.In order not to make Zhengping hungry, and to alleviate the discomfort on the road, he also needs to prepare some sweets such as candied fruit, so as to suppress the bitter taste in his mouth.

……

So many kinds, countless.Even Zheng Ping, who never lingers in his heart and never expresses emotion or anger, could not help but sweat a drop of cold sweat on the back of his forehead when he saw this long travel list.

He stopped Kong Rong who wanted to add new content.

"Why is there such a need to mobilize teachers and mobilize so many people. Heng's trip this time is to return home. He only needs to prepare one or two swordsmen to guard his safety and a little dry food."

In fact, if it wasn't for Kong Rong's worry, he wouldn't even bring these two guards with him.

His trip to Tongda County was just to confirm the conjecture in his heart.He originally planned to prepare a fast horse, bring enough pancakes, and ride a thousand miles like a god.

Bringing guards would only slow down his traveling speed, not to mention bringing so many miscellaneous luggage.

Zheng Ping thought his thoughts were reasonable, but Kong Rong answered him with serious distrust in his eyes.

"Not right. Have you forgotten what it was like when you first arrived in Xudu?"

……Um?

"—— Unkempt, most of the luggage was robbed, the clothes on the body were full of holes, like fishing nets, and the body was skinny. You grew up in Jindi, you didn't travel far, and you don't know much about trivial things. If you don't do it for you Measure a little, and let you go back unkempt and skinny, wouldn't it be in vain to make your mother worry?"

It's almost like saying: I don't think you can take good care of yourself, you should listen to me, you are right.

Zheng Ping was silent for a while, a little surprised by the answer.

Originally, when he saw that Mi Heng lived alone without a servant accompanying him, he thought that he had a strong ability to take care of himself, coupled with his unique personality, he was not like other scholars in this era, who were surrounded by others. Leading a bunch of servants, who take care of daily life.

The result was not that Mi Heng was "too good", but that he had a "too rough" life.

Kong Rong talked about this, and Zheng Ping couldn't refuse his good intentions.Kong Rong is still tossing.

He recalled what Kong Rong said just now, and realized that Kong Rong knew Mi Heng's identity, and seemed to know his biological mother... Perhaps the two families had a good friendship, and Mi Heng's "false identity" was also obtained through Kong Rong. Favors are handled in Ludi; and the reason why Mi Heng did not choose other forces to emerge may be partly because Kong Rong is here.

It was two days after Kong Rong completed the travel list for the disciples of the Fuzhong to prepare.

During this time, news came from the county government that the case he had filed a few days ago had completed the confession. Tan Chuo and others confessed to their crimes and hoped to apologize to Zheng Ping in person and ask for forgiveness.

Zheng Ping didn't agree, and it wasn't him who should really apologize to Tan Chuo and the others.

In this world, some mistakes cannot be remedied.With evil intentions, they bullied the few because of the quarrel, plotted from behind, and hurt a young life who worked with them.One or two of them even went so far as to kill each other, with the indifference of "even if you die, you deserve what you deserve", they just hit people's weaknesses.

If it wasn't for Zheng Ping's plan to expose their bad deeds, they would never go to the county government to defend themselves because of their so-called conscience, and they would not have any apologies to Mi Heng.

"Pleading guilty to the thorn? It's just that the situation forced it. If you are pressed down seven inches, even a poisonous snake will bow its head."

Everyone is responsible for what they say and do.Since he keeps claiming that he has the heart of atonement, wouldn’t it be more sincere to perform hard labor to atone for his sins?

Zheng Ping didn't want to pay attention to those people's request, so Tolerance had to go back alone.Before leaving, she mentioned the stolen Gui-Zan to him.

"...Tan Chuo sold him to a merchant, who took Guizan for the price of a high-quality jade cup, and left the capital half a month ago."

The merchant who bought Guizan should be a knowledgeable person, and very bold.He gave Tan Chuo a large sum of money, and he took Guizan and left Xudu overnight.

Zheng Ping was not surprised that the other half of Gui-chan could not be recovered.But he still frowned slightly to express his dissatisfaction with the result.

Sure enough, seeing his hesitation, Tolerance immediately said: "If the lost property is not returned, this Tan Chuo's punishment will be added three times..."

After sending off his business trip, Zheng Ping went to various trading markets to buy the commodities he needed, and then returned to the Confucian Mansion.

On the day of Zheng Ping's trip, Kong Rong sent him to the gate of the city and poured wine to say goodbye.

Zheng Ping drank all the fine wine in the cup in one gulp, and covered it with a swastika to show.

"Take care on the road."

"You are also precious."

He returned the cup, but Kong Rong's eyes were bright.

"Xu Du is not a suitable place for the emperor. If you leave this time, don't come back again."

Kong Rong probably thought that Ni Heng had offended countless enemies in Xudu, and he couldn't show his talents in Xudu, so there was really no need to stay here.

Zheng Ping didn't say a word.Although he still doesn't understand the reason why Ni Heng chose Xudu among the many forces, he must continue to stay in Xudu according to Mi Heng's wishes.

Even during the most neglected and hostile period, Mi Heng, who was so arrogant that he was so arrogant, did not leave this place... Naturally, he would not leave, at least not because of the reason of "offending too many people" leave.

Kong Rong didn't know what Zheng Ping was thinking, and sighed again: "It's a pity that Dezu went to Yuzhou for a foreign post, so I couldn't see you off... You have been in Xudu for the past two years, and the three of us haven't had a good time together yet."

When Zheng Ping heard the word "Dezu", he didn't immediately realize who it was.

Later, I thought of a classic sentence written in the mouth of Mi Heng in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": "The elder Kong Wenju, the younger Yang Dezu." The former refers to Kong Rong, and the latter refers to Yang Xiu. Only then did I understand what Kong Rong said. Who is De Zu referring to.

Yang Xiu, courtesy name Dezu, the holder of tasteless allusions, left a large chapter in Shishuoxinyu.Many people think that he was "too smart and too smart, and he was killed because he understood Cao Cao's mind too much."

Not to mention how many political/political factors were responsible for Yang Xiu's killing, and how much was his own fault.Yang Xiu, who came from a famous family, is indeed a very talented person. This kind of talent makes even Mi Heng, who has his eyes high above his head, think highly of him.

Zheng Ping knew this sentence in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't expect that Mi Heng actually had friendship with Yang Xiu.

If Mi Heng hadn't died accidentally, all three of them would have died directly or indirectly at the hands of Cao Cao...Thinking of this, Zheng Ping suddenly felt that Ni Heng's behavior of beating the drums and scolding Cao was very prescient, at least back to the original.

Sit in the carriage, and the wheels and tracks are laid out.Zheng Ping turned his head to look at Kong Rong who was standing at the gate of the city watching him leave, and moved his gaze slightly upwards to the city wall where the flags were fluttering.

On the edge of the corner platform, a thin figure was leaning on the wall, leaning forward slightly, looking at him with a smile.

Meeting his gaze, the man waved casually and chatted with him.After a while, he raised the wine bottle in his hand, drank the wine in the glass, and turned the bottom of the bottle.

It is the meaning of sending off blessings.

There was no drinking utensils around him, so Zheng Ping couldn't thank him, so he nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and then looked away.

On the corner stage, the guard standing next to Guo Jia seemed to be familiar with him. Seeing his behavior, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Guo Jijiu, who are you toasting with?"

Guo Jia turned around lazily, sat down leaning against the city wall, lifted the jug and poured himself a glass.

"Respect the sky, respect the earth...respect the people who should be respected."

The guards turned their gazes to the outside of the city. Wherever they came in, there were people coming and going, bustling, and they couldn't find a target to receive the toast.

……

Zheng Ping went north in a carriage, and after driving for about half a day, he listened to the birdsong and ordered the convoy to stop.

The captain of the guard looked puzzled: "Benefactor, it's too early, why did you stop?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that what he said was wrong: Mi Heng's status is unusual, maybe he had been in the car for a long time and felt uncomfortable, so he stopped.I shouldn't talk too much.

Zheng Ping didn't call the parking team because he was unwell, but he didn't mean to explain. He just pointed to the farmhouse in front and sent a man who looked like a housekeeper to knock on the door, asking if he could borrow the yard of this family for a short rest.

The courtyard door opened, and a well-dressed, young and beautiful woman looked at them coldly and vigilantly.

The steward did not expect that there would be a noble person living in seclusion in this mountainous place.

Zheng Ping, who was sitting in the car, looked more carefully. With just one glance, he confirmed that the fabric and workmanship on the woman's body were unusual.Even if this woman is not an aristocratic daughter, she is also a royal relative.

"What's the matter with you?"

The woman's voice was also a bit cold, like a clear spring in winter, almost frozen into ice.

After listening to the steward, the woman frowned unobtrusively, but did not refuse.

"Come in... It's just that my husband is seriously ill, and I'm afraid to scare everyone."

The courtyard door was opened, and everyone saw the man lying on the wicker chair in the courtyard with dementia-like eyes.
