after being kidnapped by the general

Yang Zhongfa and He Lang of Chuhe Chaopai searched in Youzhou for two months, found many local great scholars, and finally selected the most suitable one among them.

Cui Xuan, courtesy name Xiaocheng, was born in Changping County, Guangyang County, Youzhou. He is now 67 years old.He is the son-in-law of the famous general Guan Yi. He was very famous when he was young. He had rejected many imperial conquests and became famous in Youzhou.Later, he became an official and was exiled because he offended the eunuch. His friends and students kept interceding for him, and he was finally exonerated on the way to exile.Since then, Cui Xuan has never entered the court again.Only focus on annotating books and teaching and educating people.

Cui Xuan is very well-known, he can be called the teacher of many great Confucians in the world, and he can be regarded as an ancestor among the great Confucians.

It is worth mentioning that Ouyang Ting, Yuanli's teacher, was also mentored by Cui Xuan.

After knowing that Chu Hechao brought him to visit, Yuan Li was taken aback.They rode their horses to Changping County. On the way, Yuanli drove the horse and Chu Hechao drove side by side, and asked, "General, why did you take me to see Cui Xuan?"

Chu Hechao said, "What did you say?"

The wind was too strong when driving the horse. I don't know if he really didn't hear or didn't want to answer. Yuan Li coughed and raised his voice, "I ask you, why did you take me to see Cui Xuan?"

Chu Hechao looked ahead, and answered this time, "On the day you set up the crown, you need a great Confucian to crown you."

If Cui Xuan can be allowed to add a crown to Yuanli, Yuanli will be famous all over Youzhou, as well as the surrounding Yi and Bingzhous.

In fact, even without Cui Xuan's blessing, Yuanli has gradually gained a good reputation in the surrounding states.

Especially after he helped Chu Hechao kill the leader of the Xiongnu, and continued to send troops to suppress the bandits in Youzhou, his prestige increased rapidly.

However, the fame that Cui Xuanneng brought to Yuanli was not the same as the fame that Yuanli had accumulated himself.Cui Xuan aimed at the scholar class, and could spread the fame of famous scholars in Yuanli far and wide.

When there are no elders such as father and teacher around, it will be good for Yuanli to have such a great local Confucian who can preside over the crowning ceremony for Yuanli.

Yuan Li blinked, and said in surprise, "Have you been busy with this for the past two months?"

"You think too much," Chu Hechao pulled his lips, the side of his face was tough, he said indifferently, "Is this trivial matter worth my two months' work? It's just a matter of hand."

After speaking, he suddenly accelerated and surpassed Yuanli.

Yuan Li turned his face to avoid the mud and sand raised by the horse's hooves, and rushed forward with that competitive energy. He raised his whip and accelerated to catch up with Chu Hechao, saying in the same flat tone as Chu Hechao : "Since the general is just doing it smoothly, I don't want to thank you too much. After all, it's just a little thing."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Li turned his head and smiled politely at Chu Hechao, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and surpassed Chu Hechao.

Chu Hechao clenched his horsewhip tightly, squinted his eyes to look at his back, "..."

The little sister-in-law is wearing a strong dress, the clothes outline her figure, and she has a slender waist tied with a dagger.

He breathed quickly, and immediately turned his eyes away, and the corners of his cold lips were tightly pursed.After a few moments, he suddenly raised his whip and wanted to rush to the front of Yuanli.

Yuanli heard the sound of horses getting closer and closer, and looked back, and saw Chu Hechao getting closer.

Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Yuanli hurriedly turned around, raised a smile, and speeded up again.

Behind them, Huang Sha threw Yang Zhongfa and He Lang spit out the sand in their mouths "Bah, Bah", "Why are these two racing horses all of a sudden!"

"Chase chase chase!"

A group of people rode away, and after speeding up, the group arrived at Mangshan, Changping County at noon the next day.

Cui Xuan lived at the bottom of Mang Mountain.Yuanli and his party found a farmer's house to pack up and went to visit Cui Xuan with gifts.

The mansion of this great Confucianist is in a bamboo forest, beside which is a mountain stream.Compared with the outside of the mountain, the winter cold still remains inside the mountain.

After knocking on the door to call for someone, soon a little boy opened the door for them.Before seeing anyone, the little boy habitually said: "My husband has not seen anyone, please go back."

After finishing speaking, Xiaotong saw that the group of people in front of him were all soldiers with swords and spears on their waists. He was a little surprised, why are there still warriors coming to visit Mr.

But he didn't think much, and prepared to close the door.Chu Hechao held a big knife against the crack of the door and smiled, "You haven't notified yet, how do you know that your husband is missing?"

The little boy said angrily: "What's the matter with you, I said that the master has disappeared, do you understand etiquette, are you so rude, do you want to be scolded and made fun of by the world?"

"As expected of the great Confucianism master Cui Xuan's territory, even a small gatekeeper dares to drive people away with the high righteousness of the world," Chu Hechao pulled his lips, "Then I have to say something. As a Generals of the northern border, who protect the land of Northern Zhou, defend the borders from barbarians, and protect the people of Youzhou, are such people who don’t care about life and death for the country and the people, so Cui Xuan refuses to see him?"

Chu Hechao withdrew his broadsword, "I don't know how you and your master will deal with the news this time?"

The little boy's face paled instantly, and he immediately became a little panicked, stammering: "Please wait a moment, little boy, and report to Mr.

After speaking, he didn't even have time to close the door, and turned around in a hurry and ran away.

He Lang snorted, "I'm most annoyed by these celebrities who are holding their poses."

Soon, the boy ran back.He opened the door respectfully, "My lords, please follow me, sir is already waiting in the room."

A group of people followed him around the bamboo forest and stone bridge, and came to a bamboo house.

Under the eaves, an old man with fluttering white beard was sleeping soundly against the wall in his inner coat and quilt.

Anyone can tell that he is pretending to be asleep. If it is placed on the body of a celebrity who came to study, he will wait patiently for him to wake up.But these people around Yuanli are all rough, even if they are not rough, they will pretend to be rough at this moment.

Yang Zhongfa coughed and said loudly on purpose without being polite: "Old man, wake up, there is a visitor!"

After shouting back and forth two or three times, Cui Xuan finally opened his eyes.He hugged the quilt and sat up, beckoning the servant to serve tea, his old voice sounded sleepy: "Everyone, please sit down."

Chu Hechao took Yuanli over and sat down, while the others stood guard on the porch.

Cui Xuan tremblingly raised his hand and took a sip of tea, but didn't speak.He Lang took the initiative to stand up and said, "Why did the old gentleman fall asleep under the eaves wrapped in a quilt?"

"The old man was resting at first, but the little boy of the old man ran over after being frightened. Once he heard what the adults said from the little boy, the old man was so frightened that he couldn't sleep," Cui Xuan said. It's not in a hurry, but there is a strange yin and yang in it, "No, in order to welcome the distinguished guests, the old man didn't even wear a robe and shoes, so he ran here directly to wait for the adults."

But after he finished speaking, he found that the group of people didn't even change their expressions, as if they didn't catch the sarcasm in his words.

Only Yuanli showed an apologetic smile, but that was all.

Cui Xuan put his gaze on Yuan Li, and felt that this kid was one of those people who still had a sense of shame, so he asked, "Do you have something to say, kid?"

Yuan Li smiled and said: "It's cold in the mountains, wrapping in bedding is warmer than wearing clothes."

Cui Xuan stared, he didn't expect this dog-like young man to be so shameless, he snorted coldly, too angry to speak.

Yuanli had heard rumors about Cui Xuan, this great Confucianism was quite different from the traditional Confucianism, he was very willful and informal.When Cui Xuan was young, he was expropriated by the imperial court. He refused to take up the post because he disliked the small position of the official. He also complained to his friends about the imperial court's pettiness.Later, the border of Youzhou was invaded by Hu people. At the beginning, there was no Chu Hechao, and there was great chaos in Youzhou, and the rice grain was high. Cui Xuan couldn't afford to eat.

The friend was dumbfounded, and asked him: "The news that you disliked the low official position and refused to recruit has spread all over Youzhou, but now you take the initiative to answer the call. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Cui Xuan cheekily said: "The most important thing is to live with a full stomach. What's the use of being famous? They laugh at them if they want to. My talent and life are priceless. The bigger the rock, the harder it is to be hit by raindrops." Duo, why am I so proud of the sky and afraid of making fun of this?"

But Cui Xuan was also afraid that he would be scolded alone, so he persuaded his friends through eloquent words and eloquence, and took them to join the officialdom.After people in the world knew about this, they really laughed at them for many years because of it, the poor friend could only run away with Cui Xuan.

It wasn't until Cui Xuan was framed by eunuchs, out of scholars' dislike of eunuchs, that Cui Xuan washed away his stains and gradually became a world-famous Confucian.

Therefore, Yuan Li felt that the character of the old man would not really care about their thick-skinned behavior.

After all, he himself is thick-skinned.

Cui Xuan was indeed not angry, and after a cup of tea was finished, he said in a firm tone: "Everyone came to visit me, why?"

Chu Hechao put down his teacup, and then he opened his mouth to declare his family name.Cui Xuan's face remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart.

The background of this pedestrian is so big!

Not long ago, Cui Xuan heard about the killing of Huyan Wuzhu, the leader of the Xiongnu, by General Chu Hechao with the help of Youzhou Governor Yuanli!When he heard about this, he was in a good mood, looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, wishing he could sing a few songs.

As a native of Youzhou who suffered from the Huns' war, he hated these barbarians so much that his teeth itch, and he had a sudden fondness for Chu Hechao and Yuanli, who had contributed a lot to them.

Even, he has already started to write poems and Fu, intending to praise the achievements of these two people.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, he hadn't written his poems and prose yet, and now he saw these two people with his own eyes, and he still met them in this way!

The breath in Cui Xuan's heart slowly dissipated, and he looked curiously at the general and young man opposite him again.

These two people are both imposing, one is tall and mighty, the other is gentle but tough, they are dragons and phoenixes among men.

He was curious about why Youzhou suddenly had a governor, and where did the governor Yuanli come from.At this moment, it is clear in my heart, I am afraid that this young man who has not yet established a crown is only in charge of the governor of Youzhou temporarily, and he will become the governor of Youzhou if it is passed on.After all, in the eyes of the common people, there is no difference between the two.

Chu Hechao simply stated his intention of coming, and asked Cui Xuan to hold a coronation ceremony for Yuanli on March [-]th.

Yuan Li sat and listened with a smile all the time, but didn't interrupt halfway.

Although Cui Xuan has a good impression of these two, he has not left the bamboo house for more than ten years, and he also hates being involved with these honorable and high-ranking officials. He once swore with his friends that he would never leave Mangshan Mountain until he died.He directly refused: "The old man is old and dying, and his legs and feet are really inconvenient, so he can't bear such a journey."

Chu Hechao said patiently: "I will prepare the carriage for you."

Cui Xuan directly took the lid of the tea bowl and scraped off the tea, implying to see off the guests.

But Chu Hechao and Yuanli didn't seem to see it, and sat still.

Cui Xuan faintly showed anger, and refused again, this time no longer tactful, "If you come to ask some commentaries on the scriptures, I will definitely not keep them private. But for things like Li Guan, don't come to me, I used to I made an oath that unless I die, I will not leave Mangshan Mountain."

Chu Hechao said: "His teacher, Ouyang Ting, also received your kindness."

Cui Xuan was taken aback, looked at Yuanli for a while, sighed, and his tone softened again, "When people are old, they are always stubborn. I really don't want to step out of this bamboo forest. I can write a letter of recommendation for this child." Xin, find other celebrities and scholars to crown him. General, don’t embarrass me, and I don’t want to embarrass you, is that okay?”

Chu Hechao frowned, knowing that there was no room for discussion on this matter, he turned his head to look at Yuan Li, and asked Yuan Li with his eyes if he was willing.

In fact, Yuan Li didn't care who crowned him. He got up and gave a disciple salute to Cui Xuan, "Please trouble me, sir."

Cui Xuan stroked his beard and nodded in relief.

Several people chatted for a few more words, the atmosphere was just right, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, everyone turned their heads and saw a few servants rushing under the eaves on the other side with anxious faces, rushing towards the gate .

Two maids ran out from behind these servants, and the maid ran straight to Cui Xuan and knelt down, choked up and said: "Sir, the young master is going to die!"

Cui Xuan's expression changed drastically, he hurriedly supported the table and stood up, almost tripping over the quilt, but fortunately Yuan Li helped him up, "What's wrong with my little grandson!"

While speaking, he asked the maid to lead the way to see his grandson.Yuan Li was afraid that he would fall, so he supported him and quickly followed him.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurriedly followed.

A group of people went to the bedroom and saw that a group of people were crying around the bed.Lying on the bedside were Cui Xuan's son and daughter-in-law.

On the bed, a three or four-year-old boy had a red face, clasped his throat with his hands, curled up and coughed violently, as if he was about to be out of breath.

The maid was still crying and said: "Young master was fine before, and after eating half a piece of pastry, he became like this. Someone has already asked for a doctor, but the young master doesn't know if he can last until the doctor comes." .”

Cui Xuan's eyes almost went dark, and he subconsciously scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing the boy's appearance, Yuan Li frowned immediately, knowing that the boy was choked.

He let go of Cui Xuan with a serious expression, strode over, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way, I can save him."
