The true God does not pretend to be coerced, but pretends not to be the true God;

Whoever shows off his knowledge of horses will be a destroyer of horses.

Winter goes to spring, and years have passed in a blink of an eye. After the death of Li Siyuan of Later Tang Mingzong, his son Li Conghou succeeded to the throne, known as Emperor Min of the Later Tang Dynasty. A year later, Fengxiang Jiedu made Li Congke kill Li Conghou and set himself up as the emperor, which was the late emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. Li Congke worked for a few years, and was then his son-in-law Shi Jingjiao, who was the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, colluded with the Khitan to seize the throne and build the capital Bianliang, with the country name "Later Jin".

In just a few years, the four emperors have been changed like a marquee, Zhao Hongyin said in a timely manner, which one sleeps high and which one, the monkey jumps back and forth like a head, not only retains his official position, but also becomes the commander of the palace forbidden army in the Later Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Hongyin's former Feijie commander, who was only in charge of the forbidden army and horse army, was equivalent to one of the commanders of later generations, and the forbidden army in front of the palace commanded the commander of the field army who had been quite a later generation, at least equivalent to the commander of the garrison area in the capital, and his high power was conceivable.

After the Jin Dynasty built the capital of Bianjing, Zhao Hongyin bought a house in Bianjing, and Zhao Kuangyin of course quickly became a "celebrity" in Bianjing.

During this period, Zhao Hongyin found several teachers for him, but they were not afraid to teach him because of his stubborn reputation, or he barely taught for a long time, or he did not go, or the teacher resolutely did not teach.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Kuangyin is fifteen years old, and in the past few years, Du has given birth to a second son Kuangyi, and daughters Meixian and Meijuan, and he can't care about disciplining Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin's stubborn problem grew like a weed in June in Bianjing City.

He wandered around all day, fighting and making trouble at both ends for almost three days.

On this day, Zhao Kuangyin took his little brothers to fight on Optimistic Street, and because he injured many people and made a big fuss, he was arrested by the patrol officials of Kaifeng Mansion and arrested in the arrest hall. Only then did Zhao Hongyin realize that he had not taught Zhao Kuangyin, and asked the housekeeper to take Zhao Kuangyin back, tie him up on the tree in the backyard and beat him up.

If a teenager is natural, habits are like nature. More than ten years of pampering and indulgence have made Zhao Kuangyin's stubbornness like a thin silk thread, which has become a thick rope with continuous repetitive winding, and it is not a whip that can solve the problem.

Zhao Hongyin hit hard, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't care: "Fight, if you kill you, you will have one less son!"

Zhao Hongyin's arm was weak when he said this, and the whip in his hand could no longer be raised.

Zhao Hongyin was helpless, and the doorman sent in a famous thorn.

Famous thorns are also called famous posts. The common name of the ancients, this is to cut wood as the word, the Han Dynasty is called the confession, the end of the Han Dynasty is called the thorn, although the Han Dynasty uses paper and still along the thorn. The famous thorn is a business card for people in later generations to show off their identity to others, a means for people who are not famous to let people know their names, and a shortcut for people with small officials to deceive and temporarily upgrade.

Famous thorns are the best way to sell yourself, you cheated and promoted to an official position, after all, there are very few people who know, print a lot of famous thorns, and stuff one when you see people, and you can speed up the spread.

At that time, only high-ranking officials in the officialdom and celebrities in society used famous thorns, which were not as popular as in later generations, and in order to satisfy vanity, those who sold counterfeit medicines also printed a "chief of supply and marketing of Sihai Pharmaceutical Company", and those who set up stalls to sell vegetables also printed a piece of paper of "General Manager of Global Agricultural Trading Company" to show off themselves.

Therefore, the doorman presented the name stab, and Zhao Hongyin even thought highly of the person who came. He picked up the famous thorn and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written: Former Dynasty Juren, Professor Xishu, Chen Jun's protégé Xin Wenyue.

From the perspective of today's people, it is too bad to raise people in the previous dynasty. In the troubled times of the five generations, the emperor changed like a marquee, and the emperor who had stepped down did not give you this title, except for your hometown, outsiders generally did not know; as long as you did not make a fuss about implementing the treatment, no one would investigate the truth or falsehood.

In ancient times, the word "professor" had two meanings. One refers to the transfer of knowledge to students, such as "Professor Zixia Ju Xihe" in the biography of Zhong Ni's disciples in the "Historical Records", which means teaching in that place in Xihe, but it is a professional title like "cook" and "tailor"; At that time, the word "professor" was very similar to the "secretary" of later generations, it could be the head of state, it could be the head of a province, it could be a petty official in the countryside, or it could be a migrant worker (clerk) who was in charge of copying and writing in a small office with only three or two people, and his position was very vague.

The identity of the "protégé" is even more coincidental, originally according to the original meaning of "the person who teaches the profession in person is a disciple, and the person who teaches in turn is a protégé"; those who later do not teach and are listed on the list of protégés are also called protégés, and even those who are attached to the name are also called protégés. The word "protégé" has moved away from the word "teaching" and has become a signboard for relationships. In the future generations, it is nothing, even just to get a little extravagance, just to show a kind of politeness. For example, the "teacher" in the literary world of later generations can be called a person who knows or not. I said that I was a "student" of a great celebrity in the literary world, and no one would investigate whether it was true or false; even he himself, knowing about it, only thought that it was because of the respect shown to them by the small amateur authors below, and he would never report the case to the government.

Zhao Hongyin is a soldier, he is not very familiar with these famous halls, and when he saw that Xin Wenyue had hung up so many titles, and he was Chen Jun's protégé, he immediately attached importance to two points, and immediately waved to the doorman: "Please, please invite Mr. Xin in!"

When the doorman returned, a middle-aged gentleman in his thirties, wearing a gray kudzu robe with wide sleeves and a Confucian scarf with two small tails on his head, walked slowly towards the door of the living room. Although Mr. Na is not dressed in brocade, his clothes are neat, his workmanship is exquisite, and his whole body is just right, which does not appear to be deliberately showing off, and marks the identity of non-ordinary people, giving people a sense of elegance and generosity.

Zhao Hongyin knew that he was Xin Wenyue, and greeted him at the door like a guest of honor.

Xin Wenyue didn't kowtow and kneel like ordinary gentlemen, but only hugged his fists: "The late Xishu Xin Wenyue came to visit recklessly, please stop the blame!"

Zhao Hongyin said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xin, don't be polite! You are a Coats, please don't invite me to come! Please, please sit inside!"

Zhao Hongyin invited Xin Wenyue to sit down in the living room, and asked his subordinates to put refreshments and pour tea, before asking, "Mr. Xin is here, do you have any advice?"

Xin Wenyue was not modest, and said solemnly: "That day, I chatted with my teacher Mr. Xiyi, and when I talked about the talents in the world, he couldn't help but sigh: There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of miles. Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have. Therefore, although there is a famous horse, it is only humiliated by the hands of slaves, and it is not called a thousand miles.

He also said that those who are thousands of miles away from horses will eat or eat a stone. Horse eaters don't know that they can eat thousands of miles. It is a horse, although it has the ability of thousands of miles, it is not full of food, it is not enough, it is not beautiful, and it is not available to the horse, and it is impossible to get it, and it is not possible to ask for it to be able to go thousands of miles. ”

Borrowing the mouth of celebrities, elevating oneself, or preparing in advance, remembering a few famous quotes, and selling off in front of one's own innovative person, this is the usual way to pretend to be an elite in ancient and modern times.

Xin Wenyue combined the two, and borrowed the mouth of Chen Tuan to steal the famous sayings and aphorisms in "Liezi Shuofu" and Tang Hanyu's "Ma Shuo"; It's a pity that Zhao Hongyin rarely reads, and when he saw that Xin Wenyue could chat casually with big celebrities, and talk eloquently, the words were exquisite, and he immediately admired him and praised him repeatedly: "Mr. speaks well, speaks well! Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years!"

In the face of praise, Xin Wenyue accepted it calmly, and then said: "My teacher, Mr. Xiyi, lamented that the troubled times were ruined and the talents were withering, so he ordered me to go down the mountain to find some talents that could be created and teach them. That time, I drank and chatted with a few friends of Lu Zhifu and Gou County, and they all praised Jingshi as a place where talents gathered, and the hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Listening to the opinions of his friends, he shouldered the heavy trust of his master and came to Beijing to seek thousands of miles of horses and teachable talents!"

Xin Wenyue said that he was familiar with celebrities such as Chen Tuan and the prefect and county magistrates, as if they had been playing with urine since childhood, and said that in order to save the world's living beings, he wanted to find the pillars of the world to teach, and he was so shocked that Zhao Hongyin couldn't close his mouth.

Zhao Hongyin was distressed that no one dared to teach Zhao Kuangyin, and now he heard that Xin Wenyue "came to Beijing to seek a thousand miles of horses and teachable talents", of course he wanted to seize the opportunity to sell his own inferior horse that no one dared to train.

He didn't dare to speak rashly, so he first inquired into the bottom line: "Mr. came here to look for Maxima, what was the result?"

Xin Wenyue sighed: "Alas, after visiting for several months, most of what I saw were mediocre children, literate and literate, but just settling accounts for business and making a living. I was so disappointed! I came to ask for help from adults!"

"What conditions can be requested for the talent that Mr. is looking for?" Zhao Hongyin leaned towards Xin Wenyue with a look of admiration.

"The so-called great talent is different. Ordinary people may not be well-behaved, it is because he has his own opinions; ordinary people may see him as too rude, which means that he is extraordinary; he may not like to read, that is because the teachings are dull; he may often cause trouble, which is exactly the domineering performance of his king - 'If this bird does not fly, it will soar to the sky; if it does not sing, it will be a blockbuster', how can ordinary people know it!"

Zhao Hongyin felt that Xin Wenyue's talent was a bit like his son Zhao Kuangyin, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

He was thinking about how to push it appropriately, but Xin Wenyue continued: "Don't hide it, I passed by the street the day before yesterday and found a wizard, but I don't know who he is." My lord is familiar with the capital, and now I will ask my lord to help inquire!"

Zhao Hongyin heard Xin Wenyue say that there was already a candidate, and his body was like a deflated ball, and he retracted his body and softened on the Taishi chair: "You say, what does he look like, what is unusual?"
