Kong Rong's heart is collapsing.
Zhang Xiu is too difficult to deal with, especially tricky, domineering, and doesn't pay attention to the emperor.
Under this premise, Kong Rong's heart has made up his mind. When he returns to Xudu, he must read a book about Zhang Xiu, and let the imperial court know that Zhang Xiu is arrogant and domineering.
However, now, he knows that Zhang Xiu's soft attitude is not hard. He can only restrain his mind and prevent him from having another conflict with Zhang Xiu, so as to avoid being detrimental to the completion of the emperor's heavy trust.
Kong Rong took a deep breath and said, "I'm here on the order of the emperor to ask general Zhang to hand over the manufacturing technology of rice paper. Xuan paper is good for the whole world, people and scholars. The emperor was glad to hear of it. But because the promotion of rice paper was not enough, I sent my official as an envoy to Huayin county to ask general Zhang to hand over the manufacturing technology of rice paper. "
"Ha ha ha..."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu was silent for a moment and then burst out laughing.
Laughter is full of irony.
Laughter, full of disdain.
The imperial court even wanted the manufacturing technology of rice paper, or the emperor Liu Xie wanted the manufacturing technology of rice paper, and then used it for profit. Zhang Xiu does not believe what Liu Xie said, what promotion efforts are not enough, that is bullshit.
What Liu Xie planned was actually the production technology of rice paper.
Xuan paper is needed by countless people.
This is a cornucopia, which can earn countless money for Zhang Xiu, so that Zhang Xiu does not worry about money.
Liu Xie was trapped in the palace. On the one hand, he had no military power; on the other hand, he was short of money. Even if Liu Xie had an idea, he didn't have enough money to recruit troops.
If we can't recruit soldiers, how can we build our own forces?
Relying on the support of a small number of loyal ministers is a drop in the bucket after all, so Liu Xie's idea went to Xuan paper.
Kong Rong heard Zhang Xiu's laughter, his face unchanged, and solemnly said: "General Zhang, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. General Zhang is a minister of the Han Dynasty, so please cooperate with him. "
Zhang Xiu said: "what does the rise and fall of the Great Han have to do with me. Besides, how do you want me to cooperate? "
Kong Rong calm expression, very indifferent way: "hand over the production process of rice paper."
Zhang Xiu said, "Kong Rong, is it because the emperor is too young to fall asleep, or is it because your brain has been kicked by a donkey. The emperor is short of Xuan paper, so I can give it free of charge. "
"It's just that if you want to reach out to Guanzhong and take my interests, don't blame me for cutting my hands."
"Of course, Cao Cao must know what the emperor thought. He would like you to bring back the production technology of rice paper. At that time, he can easily control the production of rice paper. "
"Unfortunately, it's impossible."
Zhang Xiu waved her hand, her eyes were cold, and said, "go back where you come from."
Kong Rong said eagerly, "Zhang Xiu, are you still not the Minister of the Great Han?"
"Yes
Zhang Xiu replied.
Kong Rong looked excited and said: "since you are a minister of Han Dynasty, you should share your worries for the emperor. Take out the emperor's action and cooperate with your Xuan paper making process. It's up to us whether we can revive the Great Han. "
Zhang Xiu disdains a way: "big Han whether again prosperous, have what relation with me Zhang Xiu?"
Kong Rong said: "you are Zhang Xiu, and you are rebellious."
Zhang Xiu said, "I'm rebellious. Like Yuan Shu, I directly revolt. Do I stand on my own as king?"
"No!"
"During Zhang Xiu's military campaign, he defeated Huang Jin, killed Xiongnu, and killed Li Xi and Guo Si. The soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command have ravaged the common people and slaughtered the officials. Do they not respect the great men? "
"No!"
"I, Zhang Xiu, do my duty. I don't steal, I don't rob, I do things steadfastly."
"Why am I so rebellious?"
Zhang Xiu's sharp words continued: "at the beginning, when my uncle and I entered Nanyang County, we couldn't get enough to eat, we couldn't get enough clothes, and we were in trouble. Where was the emperor?"
"At the beginning, I haven't been based in Nanyang yet. The yellow scarf thief came to kill me. My strength is weak and I can't catch it."
"Where is the emperor?"
"When Ma Teng and Han Sui invaded Guanzhong, we were short of troops and in great danger."
"Where is the emperor?"
"The son of heaven's love for me, Zhang Xiu, has no love for water or food. I, Zhang Xiu, am loyal to the Great Han Dynasty, and I have done my best to rectify the chaos. I have a long way to go, and it's not easy for me to have today's foundation. "
Zhang Xiu tossed the ground and said: "now that we have some foundation, the emperor can't sit still and arrange for you to harvest. Does the emperor think that Zhang Xiu is a bully? Kong Rong, you are a descendant of Confucius. You should be conscientious. You are awe inspiring all day, but your heart is very dark. It's not good. At least I'm not ashamed of people like you. "
Brush!
Kong Rong's face changed greatly.
Zhang Xiu's words, in his opinion, are simply deviant.
As a minister, you should serve the emperor.As a minister, you should offer for the emperor.
Zhang Xiu refused.
Kong Rong was ready to refute immediately, but before he spoke, Zhang Xiu said again: "I, Zhang Xiu, stand up in the world, worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of ancestors, worthy of the people. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiu, Nanyang County and Guanzhong, I don't know how many people have become a pile of dead bones. I don't know how many people have lost their families. "
Kong Rong's cheek twitched.
He thought in his heart, you Zhang Xiu is powerful, but you Zhang Xiu is a traitor like Cao Cao.
It's the same as Cao Cao.
They're all traitors!
Kong Rong took a deep breath and said: "General Zhang, what we are talking about now is not a matter worthy of anything, but a matter in which the emperor is in trouble. At this time, I need your help. "
Zhang Xiu said: "I can help, but you can't. let me help myself. I came to help when I had more than I could do
After a pause, Zhang Xiu said, "Yuan Shao is going to attack Guanzhong, and vice governor Zhang Yang of Hanoi is going to attack Guanzhong. I'm in great danger. How about Confucius, on behalf of the emperor, denounce Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang and let them strike immediately?"
Kong Rong was dumb.
How can he make Yuan Shao strike? He was expelled by Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's son.
He did not dare to provoke Yuan Shao.
In Kong Rong's view, Yuan Shao was a man who had no eyes for the emperor and intended to stand on his own. However, compared with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao still had to be more restrained. He did not build a country and become emperor like Yuan Shu.
Zhang Xiu continued: "you see, aren't you loyal to the emperor? Then go to Yecheng and persuade Yuan Shao to mediate the current situation for me. As long as Yuan Shao doesn't attack me, how about the manufacturing process of rice paper I hand over? "
Kong Rong smiles awkwardly.
He was so unhappy that he did not dare to agree directly.
Because at the beginning of the war with Yuan Tan, if he had not escaped quickly, he would have been killed by Yuan Tan.
Zhang Xiu shook her head and said, "in fact, you Kong Rong are not a good thing."
"Since you are loyal to the emperor, you should mediate Yuan Shao's attack on Guanzhong and obtain the manufacturing technology of rice paper for the emperor. But you are afraid of death, unwilling to go and unfaithful to the emperor. "
"You are a descendant of Confucius. Confucius taught us to understand etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame. In fact, for your own interests, you totally ignore the family precepts of your ancestors and are unfilial to them."
"You, Kong Rong, are unfaithful and unfilial."
Zhang Xiu said: "you are such an unfaithful and unfilial person. How can you have any face? You are talking in front of me, Zhang Xiu. You have no confidence. Let me sacrifice myself. "
Kong Rong was furious when he heard this.
He was scolded by Zhang Xiu and could bear it. He didn't want to argue with Zhang Xiu, but his reputation was involved. Kong Rong couldn't bear it.
Kong Rong believed that he was loyal to the emperor and worthy of his ancestors.
But Zhang Xiu insulted him.
This is the last thing Kong Rong wants to see. Originally, when he met Zhang Xiu today, he was very angry, and his breath was gloomy. Now by Zhang Xiu drink scold some time, that melancholy gas is even worse. His chest, constantly ups and downs, suddenly only feel a sweet throat, can no longer suppress the surge of blood.
"Poof!"
Red blood, from the mouth of the hole melt out.
Bloodstains were scattered in the tent.
