Chapter 105
What kind of medicine can have the effect of "relieving" after three years?It must be the poison that accumulates day by day, unnoticed.
Guo Xuan didn't expect Guo Shi to give her such a thing.
Guo Shi didn't urge her, but just looked at her calmly.The phoenix eyes that Guo Xuan felt close to in the past made her dare not look directly at this time.
After a long while, she took the pot hesitantly, avoided what Guo Xuan said just now, and asked an irrelevant question:
"Where did my aunt get this thing?"
Guo couldn't help her avoiding it: "I got it by accident. This is a forbidden drug for the palace. If you take it for a long time, young children will die early, and even a strong adult will not survive the [-]s."
Guo Xuan only felt cold hands and feet, and she suddenly remembered that apart from the two founding emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the remaining emperors died prematurely.The youngest Emperor Han Shang died before his first birthday... For a while, he didn't dare to think about it, or even dare to ask.
She returned to her residence with a heavy heart, and the joy that affirmed her heart had long been dissipated by this episode.She kept the pottery vase in an extremely secret place, only as a precious and undisclosed gift from Mrs. Guo, and had no intention of using it at all.
But even with an idea in mind, Guo Xuan was still restless.She wanted to look for Zheng Ping, but was told that Zheng Ping had gone out and hadn't returned yet, so she could only sit in the room holding hands, rehearsing every word Guo Shi said to her.
But it was said that Zheng Ping went to the Xun Mansion and arrived at the destination. Before he could take his seat, a middle-aged man dressed as a business official came to the door and delivered something to Xun Yu in the name of Cao Cao.
The middle-aged man was ushered in, and when he saw Zheng Ping, he was only a little taken aback, his eyes fluttered lightly on his official uniform, and after paying a salute to explain his purpose, he took out a small golden nanmu wood from his bosom. Box comes.
"This is something Cao Gong bestowed upon Xun Lingjun, and I ask Xun Lingjun to keep it safe."
The attitude of the middle-aged Tolerance could not be called bad, but this sentence conveyed a lot of meaning.
The servants of Xun's family received instructions, took the nanmu box from him, and brought it to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was sick in bed for many years, his hands were slightly pale, he was about to open the box, but was gently held down by a hand stretched out from the side.
Xun Yu turned his gaze to the owner of that hand, but saw that the owner of that hand did not look at him, but was staring at the middle-aged tolerance, with a look of scrutiny in his clear eyes.
"I have never seen you in the prime minister's mansion. Which Cao's tolerance are you?"
Being questioned, there was no difference in the tolerance, and he seemed to be polite, but he said firmly: "The servant handles extraordinary matters for the prime minister. He is not in the yamen on weekdays, so it is rare to see the county lord."
Zheng Ping said again: "Besides this box, did the prime minister ask you to bring something else?"
The middle-aged tolerance said slowly: "The prime minister only said one sentence: 'When Yanzi saw doubts, he ran away'?"
Xun Yu's expression changed suddenly, and the hand holding the box trembled accordingly.
As Secretary Ling, Zheng Ping is also in charge of banning Chinese. In recent years, he and Taishi Ling have jointly compiled the historical records of the current dynasty, sorted out and edited the records of the previous dynasty, and are very familiar with the historical allusions of the pre-Qin period. Where is the allusion.
Yan Zi was a famous scholar-bureaucrat in the Spring and Autumn Period. The most well-known and well-known allusion is "Yan Zi Envoys Chu".
And "Yanzi Sees Suspicion" tells the story of Yanzi being suspicious by Qi Jinggong, who fled immediately and was about to leave Qi.In this allusion, there is also a famous scholar named Bei Guosao. In order to keep Yanzi, he used his life to guarantee Yanzi's innocence, and finally alarmed Qi Jinggong and invited Yanzi back.
If what Cao Cao asked people to bring was really the allusion of "Yanzi sees doubts", it is obvious that he used Qi Jinggong as a metaphor for himself and Yanzi as a metaphor for Xun Yu.
If you look at the results of the whole allusion, it seems that Cao Cao's words can be understood as a concession: Even if Qi Jinggong has selfish desires, he is a wise master after all.He admitted his mistake and asked Yanzi to return, and Yanzi finally returned to Qi State and continued to contribute to Qi State.Except for the death of Chengren and Bei Guosao, it can be said that the reconciliation is as good as before.
However, if Cao Cao's intention was to invite Xun Yu back, the message he asked the tolerance to pass on should be an established sentence such as "Yanzi sees doubts, goes back and returns", and should not be an uncertain question.
Perhaps it can also be understood as asking for opinions, secretly asking Xun Yu whether he is "reconciled".But according to Cao Cao's temper, this possibility is extremely low, and his sentence "Yanzi saw doubts, and ran away" should have other meanings.
Zheng Ping thought of another possibility, and remembered the record about the cause of Xun Yu's death in "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and his heart sank suddenly.
At this time, the tolerance said again: "If you don't open the box, the contents will be cold."
From what he said, it seemed that there was warm food in the box, and Tolerance was urging Xun Yu to accept the reward quickly.
Zheng Ping knew something was wrong and still wanted to stop it, but he received Xun Yu's gentle but firm gaze.
In this unshakable sight, he slowly let go of his hand, allowing Xun Yu to open the box.
There is nothing inside.
Xun Yu had already guessed the result from the weight of the box, but now he just sighed slightly.
The tolerance still said to himself: "Lingjun, eat it while it's hot."
Zheng Ping smiled coldly, held the sword at his waist with his backhand, and stood up under Tolerance's uncertain gaze.
"If you have vegetables but no wine, how can you swallow it? Why don't you cut off your head while your blood is hot, and make wine for the two of us."
