Chapter 500: Suffocating Sun Quan
to death
Soon, the follower turned back and whispered to Liu Feng's ear, telling the situation.
"Lord, Zhang Wen and the other two were not seen."
"Yes." Liu Feng nodded, not planning to wait anymore. He was still very regretful.
At this moment, Yu Fan sat in the hall a little impatiently.
Because of Yu Fan's temperament, his circle of friends is very small. Besides, most of the guests Liu Feng invited to have a good time and there is nothing to say.
Yu Fan reluctantly endured it for a moment, and finally raised his fist and said to Liu Feng: "Today, the general invites me to come here, saying that there are books to discuss with each other. I wonder what it is?"
"What Zhongxiang said is very much. The book is exquisite and can't let it go. We are also curious about its affairs." Kan Ze, who is more talkative, said.
Most of the people who attended the banquet tonight were tempted by the book. But some people paid attention to Liu Feng for discussing the book matters. Then they came here. Kan Ze was one of them.
"Haha, I'm actually asking for something to ask for tonight. But the guests who invited me were not here, so it's hard to speak. Now it seems that I don't have enough face, so that person probably won't come." Liu Feng smiled with a little self-deprecating smile and said.
"What is the matter that makes the general bother? Please tell me clearly that if we are within our ability, we will definitely help."
Compared with the fact that no one was present at this banquet, there was no surprise to those present. After all, Liu Feng was the lord of Jingchu and the imaginary enemy of the Jiangdong forces.
In addition, Liu Feng said that he had something to ask for, so everyone present was very curious.
Who is Liu Feng? He has seven counties and thousands of miles of land. His treasury is sufficient and his status is prominent. What can stump him?
Therefore, everyone spoke one after another.
Seeing the way everyone wanted to find out, Liu Feng shook his head and smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just a collection of books."
Then, Liu Feng said regretfully: "Everyone also knows that I have white paper that can produce exquisite and exquisite books. But what is ashamed is that Jing Chu's collection is insufficient, and it is only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. There are many lonely and rare books, but they don't have them. I feel sorry, so I want to ask you to take out the books I have collected from my home and borrow me to copy one."
"What's the difficulty? When I go back and sort out a catalog of books at home and offer them to the general. The general checks out the books that are not in the mansion. Then I send someone to copy one." Kan Ze said generously.
It was originally a matter of why things were difficult to get Liu Feng, but it was a trivial matter. In this era, it was common for literati to copy books from each other, and everyone accepted Liu Feng's cart of books.
Therefore, everyone expressed their willingness to give their collection of books in their families and let Liu Feng send someone to copy the missing part.
With a sufficient library of Jingchu.
Liu Feng thanked each other one by one, and was happy on his face, but in fact he had no trouble in his heart.
Although Liu Feng is good at books, he also hopes to promote literature. In fact, he does not attach much importance to those lonely books in his heart.
This is just the reason why Liu Feng met the famous scholars and ministers in Jiangdong present.
"Jingchu has a shallow foundation and does not have a lot of books. This matter is just a small matter for you. But for me, it is a big matter for you. I would like to thank you here. When you send me the book catalog at home, I will send someone to Jingchu. If those books are available, I will send someone to Jingchu and I will publish them to you. If there is no one, I will publish one and give them to you." Liu Feng reciprocates.
In fact, this is the purpose, and it is to give these people the benefits.
All the people here are good books, so they should not refuse. They should replace all the bamboo slips in their homes that are bulky and difficult to read due to different handwriting. They should replace them with pleasing books.
This is a trick Liu Feng came up with.
Gold and silver are too vulgar, and sending books is an elegant thing. Of course, there is another reason. The people present are all literati and famous people. Many of them are honest people, and giving gold and silver will definitely backfire. If you don’t send books, you won’t be able to.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Feng said that, almost everyone present showed joy.
Looking at Liu Feng, the gazes warmed up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This sentence is effective everywhere.
Everyone understood this truth, but everyone clasped their fists to thank Liu Feng for his kindness. They were not stupid people. It could be heard that Liu Feng was just finding a reason to send them books.
But even though I knew it was poisonous, I still couldn't help but have a moth to the flame.
The more honest a person is, the more fresh and silly he is, the more resistant he is to external temptations. He generally does not accept gifts. However, once he receives a gift he likes, it is difficult to refuse.
Moreover, gratitude will increase exponentially. Some people may feel that they owe favors to each other.
Seeing all this, Liu Feng responded calmly. However, he felt happy in his heart, and what he saw was his good feelings, but on the other hand, a relationship was established.
With this reason, Liu Feng can invite banquets and visit homes in the next limited time to increase his feelings.
I believe these people will not refuse.
At the same time, Liu Feng also knew that the highlight of tonight had passed. Next, the process of an ordinary banquet was about.
Singing, dancing, wine and food.
Therefore, when the atmosphere calmed down slightly, Liu Feng ordered the follower to come up and perform dances and the musician played music.
The singer and musician were both accompanied by Sun Quan after giving it to the house. They were both from Wu Yue. The one who played Wu music and Wu Wu danced.
Compared with the singing and dancing in Jingchu, it has a unique flavor and is pleasing to the eye.
………………………………………
In the east of Wu County, Zhang Wen's mansion. Zhang Wen sat in the first seat with a expressionless face. Below were the old butler and the eldest son Zhang Xiong.
Zhang Wen is forty years old, with a stunning appearance and fair skin.
Zhang Wen came from the Zhang family among the four major clans and was of the same clan as Zhang Zhao. However, his influence in the clan is still above Zhang Zhao.
Although Zhang Zhao also comes from Zhang, he is actually from Xuzhou and is a branch. Although he is now in a high position and powerful position and is in charge of Zhang, his foundation is not deep.
But Zhang Wen is different, he is the authentic branch of the legitimate branch. He has a great influence in the clan, with many servants in the land and houses.
In addition, Zhang Wengang was also a general under Sun Quan's account. Because some things have to be handled today, he came back relatively late.
When he heard the butler say that Liu Feng brought a cart of books and asked him to the banquet, Zhang Wen said: "Liu Feng is catching a turtle in a jar. Why should he go to the banquet of a dead person? Those books will be returned to him."
Not only did he look disdainful, but his tone was also very sarcastic.
"No." The housekeeper responded, bent over and bowed, and retreated.
"Father, Liu Feng is the lord of Jingchu, and I am the mortal enemy of Jiangdong. It is also necessary to not go to his banquet. But that caravan of books is a rare object. Isn't it a pity that he retreated?" After the housekeeper left, Zhang Xiong said with great regret.
Zhang Xiong inherited Zhang Wen's appearance and gave birth to a very masculine temperament. However, both personality and ability are much different. Zhang Wen is too different.
If you say that Zhang Wen is talented and knowledgeable, he also likes books very much. At the same time, he loves fame and utilitarianism. It can be seen from his rejection of Liu Feng and his rejection of Liu Feng's books.
He loved books, but he was able to refuse Liu Feng's books, and acted as if he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and did not join the enemy.
It can be said that he not only preserved his reputation, but also hinted at his loyalty to Sun Quan.
But Zhang Xiong was just the opposite. He was also scheming, but he loved money quite a lot and didn't cherish his reputation. The books given by Liu Feng had to be returned, which made me feel distressed.
"I'm confused. No matter how good the book is, it's not as good as this future. As long as the Marquis of Wu is favored, I, Zhang, can remain strong." Seeing that the eldest son was incompetent, Zhang Wen scolded.
However, Zhang Xiong disagreed.
Seeing this, Zhang Wen rubbed his temple helplessly and waved his hand, "Go and repay this matter to Mr. Wu, and suggest that Mr. Wu will have a conspiracy in secret."
"Remember, the tone should be more tactful and worry more. You should act like worrying about the country, rather than simply expressing loyalty." Finally, Zhang Wen said meaningfully.
"No." Zhang Xiong was not completely useless. Hearing this, he put away the expression on his face, responded solemnly, and then turned around and left.
When Zhang Xiong hurriedly rode the carriage and planned to show his loyalty to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's face turned green.
After receiving the exact news, he learned that Liu Feng had invited more than ten guests in the courtyard.
Sun Quan was afraid of Liu Feng and sent Zhou Guang and Zhu Chong to monitor Liu Feng, of course it was not a decoration. Not only did he know Liu Feng holds a banquet, but he also knew who was going to attend the banquet.
The reason why Sun Quan's face turned green was not only because Liu Feng is now in Jiangdong, full of dangers, but he has no self-knowledge and openly win over the hearts of famous scholars in Jiangdong.
But because the people Liu Feng invited this banquet were all reserve talents that Sun Quan valued and planned to promote.
Such as Kan Ze, Yu Fan, Yan Qing, Bu Zhi, Bu Zhi, Xue Zong and others, they are all the top priorities in Sun Quan's mind.
And what are these people doing now? They went to Liu Feng for a banquet just because of a little temptation. It is really outrageous.
Of course, Sun Quan also knew that these people were not loyal or honest. They simply loved books and wanted books.
It has nothing to do with hostility to the forces.
Some people even don’t think that Jiangdong and Jingchu are two hostile countries. Don’t forget that it is still the world of the Han Dynasty.
In Jiangdong, there are people who hope to stand up with the right rank. However, there are people who are not firm in their will, or are ambiguous.
So these people go to the banquet doesn't mean anything.
However, as the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan hoped that Jiangdong could stand with the north, and hoped that his ministers would not meet Liu Feng and would not attend the banquet.
So, when he heard the news, Sun Quan's face almost turned green.
"Arrogant and arrogant, without self-knowledge, and extremely stupid." Sun Quan made his own evaluation of Liu Feng's attitude of winning over the hearts of the people in such an environment and such a situation.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Liu Feng’s actions were correct in Liu Feng’s own opinion, but in Sun Quan’s opinion, it was just the anger in his heart in his family, which accelerated Liu Feng’s death.
Now, I have to ask Sun Quan what he thought.
That is to immediately cut off Liu Feng's head. But this is exactly impossible.
If Liu Feng is dead now, Sun Quan's idea of standing up to the top will be ruined.
Hold on, hold on. Sun Quan kept telling himself in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations from ***(***.***) ***. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
