Riding on the horse, Lin Nan asked Chen Gongdao: "This is going to Luoyang, I don't know what Gongtai has to teach me?"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Presumably Zi Yang already has a plan in his heart, so why do you need to ask me?" It's just that Zi Yang must be careful when dealing with Zhang Rang, this person is very deep in the city and is not easy to deal with. ”

"Yes, I'm also worried about this, as for the people in Shilin, as well as the general He Jin, it should be very easy to deal with, only this Zhang Rang, there is really no way, if it is close, it is not inferior, and if it is far away, it is resentful. After speaking, Lin Nan smiled helplessly.

"I sent Ziyang eight words, and this matter is easy to hear. I only heard Chen Gong say: "Ming repairs the plank road and secretly crosses Chen Cang." ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lin Nan's heart was happy, he was worthy of being a first-class strategist in the Three Kingdoms, which was really not to be underestimated.

The sun at the end of March is very warm on people's bodies, because of the mood, the flowers and grasses along the way, the warbler Yanyan has also become extraordinarily emotional, Lin Nan is riding on a horse, very proud.

Now Lin Nan has a little bit of competition for the capital of the world, think about Chen Gong Cui Yan next to him, Tian Feng in Hebei, Guan Ning and others in Qingzhou, his own think tank has begun to take shape, and his three righteous brothers, two generals, plus Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, his minions are gradually sharpening, thinking of this, Lin Nan does not feel happy in his heart.

At dusk the next day, Lin Nan and his party finally arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass.

Tiger prison pass, because the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty Mu in this prison tiger and get the name, here the Qin Dynasty set up the pass, the Han Dynasty set up a county, the later feudal dynasty, all fortified here. The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and mountains staggered, which is a natural danger. It was once called "the thickness of one mile, and the power of moving a thousand miles", "the center of the lock sky, the throat of Sanqin". When the east-west traffic rushes, it is the safety of the ancient land of Zhongzhou, the westward can control Luoyang and the Sanqin land, and the eastward can look at the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River Plain.

When he came to the gate, Lin Nan stopped and looked up.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Tiger Prison Pass is more and more majestic, the wall of nearly ten zhang high makes people have to look up, the flag and the sword and gun on the pass show his majesty, the rolling mountains behind him have become his deployment, he is more like a commander of ten thousand armies. And at this time, he is looking at you with a blue face, that solemnity, that solemnity, all of which make people awe-inspired.

Tiger Prison Pass, is such a male pass, blocking the footsteps of the princes of the Eighteen Roads outside the pass, so that hundreds of thousands of troops are in vain, and it can't stop Lin Nan's footsteps today, for Lin Nan, it is just a majestic building, a flower frame for people to see, just like the Great Wall. Who can it defend against? The strong fortress is the easiest to be destroyed from the inside, and Dong Zhuo, who was not defeated by the princes of the Eighteen Routes, was killed by his own righteous son Lu Bu, so the most majestic and sturdy pass in the world is actually the spirit and spirit of uniting as one.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but be full of pride, looking up to the sky and smiling.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

The group did not stay in the Tiger Prison Pass for long, and after staying overnight, they headed for Luoyang.

In the third year of Guanghe of the Great Han Dynasty, in April 180 AD, Lin Nan finally came to Luoyang and came to the political center of the Han Dynasty.

After entering the city, Lin Nan first prepared to meet someone.

After coming to this meeting, Lin Nan once carefully inquired with Lin Zhong about his family history, although Lin Zhong was very puzzled by Lin Nan when he asked about this, but he still told Lin Nan 1510, so Lin Nan also knew that Lin Nan had studied in Hongnong near Luoyang when he was young, and the teacher of the year was Cai Yong, a famous man in the sea, that is, Cai Wenji's father, and now Cai Yong is an official in Luoyang, so Lin Nan is ready to rely on this relationship to visit Cai Yong first.

In front of Cai's house, the name has been completed, and a housekeeper-like person led Lin Nan into the hall, at this time Cai Yong had just gone down to the court, and was thinking about the court on the collapse, and when he heard that Lin Nan was coming, he quickly got up and tidied up his clothes.

Seeing Cai Yong sitting in the middle hall, Lin Nan stepped forward and saluted: "Student Lin Nan, meet your teacher." ”

Cai Yong hurriedly helped Lin Nan up, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, don't be polite for a few years, I don't want Nan'er to be famous now, even Guan You'an and others are also highly respected, there are disciples like this, I am very relieved." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly said: "The teacher has a good reputation, have you always been okay?

Cai Yong smiled and said: "The old man's body and bones are fine, and Yan'er is fine, you are worried." ”

Lin Nandao: "The teacher is polite, the students are here to ask the teacher." ”

Cai Yong said with a kind face: "Hehe, Nan'er, what do you need the old man to help you do, just say it directly, the old man will do his best." ”

The two were talking, but saw a girl walk out of the back hall, only to see this girl of medium stature, wearing a light yellow dress, the age is about thirteen or fourteen years old, all the way, Tingting curling, ring clinking, wait until close to take a closer look, but see the thin eyebrows slender, phoenix eyes faint, face like a full moon, mouth like a cherry, cheeks condensed new lily, greasy goose fat, gentle and tactful, generous and elegant, look forward to Shenfei, the essence of Wencai, people can't help but look at the amiable, see the vulgar.

The girl saluted Lin Nan and said, "Brother Lin has worked hard from afar, please forgive the little sister for being late to greet her, Brother Lin has always been good?"

Lin Nan thought that this girl must be Cai Yan and Cai Wenji, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Thank you sister for your concern, Nan has always been fine, I can't imagine that I haven't seen her for a few years, my sister has been so beautiful, my brother is a little unrecognizable, and I hope my sister will forgive me for the rudeness." ”

Cai Yan said with a smile: "Brother Shi is laughing, Brother Shi has been famous recently, they all say that Brother Shi has the ambition to fight against the Huns in the north, the little sister admires it very much, and I also heard that Brother Shi actually made friends with Daxian Guan You'an, which made the little sister even more fascinated, I didn't expect that Brother Shi came to the door today, it is really God to help me, and my little sister can ask Brother Shi for advice every day." ”

Lin Nan was very close to Cai Yan at this time, smelling the bursts of aroma from Cai Yan's body, listening to the beautiful music like the yellow warbler coming out of the valley from Cai Yan's mouth, he couldn't help but feel that his bones were almost crispy, and his heart was a little fluttering, just when Lin Nan felt like sitting on the clouds, Cai Yan's sentence of "asking for advice" almost didn't make Lin Nan fall from the clouds.

This is still enough, just ask for advice, and ask for advice every day, I still don't do the right thing, this still doesn't let me live, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, so, Lin Nan hurriedly excused himself and said: "My sister said that I laughed, I don't dare to ask for advice, who in the world doesn't know, my sister's talent is above me, and I feel ashamed to say it." After saying that, Lin Nan smiled embarrassedly.

Cai Yan said with a smile: "Brother Shi is too modest. ”

Seeing that the two of them were not finished, Cai Yong said dissatisfiedly: "Ziyang, who are these people, you don't give me a recommendation, and you patronize Yan'er." ”

As soon as he heard Cai Yong say this, Lin Nan knew in his heart that it was bad, the old man was dissatisfied, and he was heavy on sex and light on friends, so he immediately stopped laughing, and Cai Yan couldn't help but stick out his tongue, so Lin Nan hurriedly apologized to Cai Yong and everyone, and introduced everyone to the Cai family's father and daughter one by one.

Cai Yong saw that Lin Nan's subordinates were all ready for bravery, and couldn't help but think about it, and after a while, he said leisurely: "Ziyang has come from afar, he has worked hard all the way, he can rest for a day, everything can be discussed tomorrow, I have prepared the house and residence, Mu Bo, you take Ziyang down to rest." As he spoke, he beckoned to the housekeeper, and then turned to Cai Yan and said, "You are not allowed to disturb Ziyang, do your own business." ”

As soon as Cai Yan heard his father say this, he stomped his feet with a "hum", turned his head and ran.

So, Lin Nan and his party began to settle things, and after so many days of traveling, Lin Nan and the others were really tired, only Dian Wei and Guan Hai felt very relaxed, like people who were fine.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Cai Yong went to the court, and Lin Nan and others accompanied Cai Yan to talk in the living room, seeing Cai Yan, Lin Nan didn't feel that he secretly admired the teacher's tutor, because yesterday, Cai Yan did not bother Lin Nan all day, which made Lin Nan very depressed, and was ready to wait for Miss Cai to come, but who knew that he had waited for a day in vain.

I only heard Cai Yan say: "Brother Ziyang, what's the matter today?"

Lin Nan thought for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong, I want to walk around the street for a while, and see the southern appearance of the imperial city, is there anything wrong with my sister?"

Cai Yan was about to speak, and suddenly two people walked in outside the door, Lin Nan couldn't help but be a little strange, I don't know who the two were, why they walked in without waiting for the light, but Cai Yan was very happy, and quickly got up to greet him.

"I don't know that the two brothers are coming, and the little sister is not welcome, and I hope the two brothers will not be surprised. Cai Yan said with a smile.

At this time, the two also hurriedly returned the salute. One of them smiled and said: "My sister is too polite, I often come, if I always go out to greet me, even if my sister is not idle, I will be annoyed." ”

Lin Nan also quickly got up and saluted the two.

Cai Yan hurriedly introduced: "This is my father's disciple when he was in Hongnong, Lin Nan Lin Ziyang of Liaodong. ”

As soon as they heard the name of Lin Nan and Lin Ziyang, the two hurried over to give a salute.

And Cai Yan went on to introduce the two people: "These two are my father's disciples in Luoyang, of course, it can also be said that they are not disciples, hehe, this is Zhong Xuan, Zhong Yuanchang, and this is Wang Cang Wang Zhongxuan." ”

It turned out that these two were the famous Zhong Xuan and Wang Cang, Lin Nan hurriedly bowed, and at the same time looked at the two carefully.

Zhong Xuan is handsome and heroic, while Wang Cang is very ugly and emaciated. With such a comparison, it is difficult for Lin Nan to believe that this is Wang Cang, who is known as the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", and Wang Cang, who is as famous as Kong Rong, Chen Lin, Xu Gan and others, but in the face of reality, Lin Nan still agrees, but I don't know how the famous Pang Tong will compare with him.

After seeing that the ceremony was over, several people sat down again and began to talk.

Zhong Xuan was the first to speak: "Recently, I have heard that Zi Yang is talented, and now I finally meet, I am fortunate to meet, I am fortunate to meet." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly said politely: "The names of the two brothers, Nan has also heard of them a long time ago. ”

At this time, Cai Yan smiled and said: "Don't be polite, it's useless to say something, by the way, Brother Yuanchang, Brother Zhongxuan, Brother Ziyang is also here today, why don't we discuss poetry?"

Zhong Xuan smiled: "I'm fine, I don't know what Ziyang thinks?"

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I will only be able to write poetry." ”

"What is a metrical poem?" the three of them were amazed to hear the name.

So Lin Nan began to tease: "The so-called metrical poems are different from the long Gu Nan, the general length of the metrical poems is relatively short, mostly four or eight sentences, four sentences of the rhythmic poem, my name is called quatrain, eight sentences of rhythmic poetry, my name is called rhythmic poetry." And if you look at the number of words in each poem, metrical poems can be divided into five-character metrical poems and seven-character metrical poems.

The framework of the metrical poem is nothing more than the beginning and the end. For quatrains, the first sentence starts, the second sentence continues, turns again, and finally closes. As for the lyric poems, I put the two lines together and named them couplets. Therefore, the first two sentences of the poem are the first couplet, the beginning, the third and fourth sentences are the jaw couplet, the bearing, the fifth and sixth sentences are the neck couplet, turning, and the seventh and eighth sentences are the tail couplet, together.

However, for metrical poetry, it is necessary not only to have a framework for the beginning and the end, but also to have several elements, namely: rhyme, leveling, antithesis, and stickiness.

For metrical poetry, I advocate flattening the rhyme, and this involves tone, and I will tell you about it later. And its own level should also have a fixed pattern, and the jaw joint and the neck joint should be opposed. At the same time, two sentences in the same couplet in the poem should be in opposite forms, that is, pairs, and the last sentence of the previous couplet should be in the same format as the first sentence of the next couplet, that is, sticky.

Therefore, for metrical poetry, I am just trying, because there are many rules, and it is still a little difficult to do. And, as for the rhyme and peace, I still learned it from overseas. ”

As soon as everyone heard Lin Nan say something he learned from overseas, they hurriedly asked why.

Lin Nan replied: "I traveled to Zhuo County, Youzhou, and met an overseas businessman, from him, I learned some phonetic transcriptions of a Roman Empire country overseas, that is, the letters that mark the pronunciation of words, so I wanted to develop a set of pinyin methods for my Chinese characters, I divided pinyin into initials and finals, so that they can be combined with each other to represent the pronunciation of Chinese characters. I divide the tones into five categories, namely: soft, yin, yang, up, and out. Among them, Yin Ping and Yang Ping are flat rhymes, and Shangsheng and Go Voices are Xuan sound rhymes. In this way, the plains are interspersed with each other, and the staggered ones have a sense of modulation and frustration, and the rhythm of the poem is more beautiful. ”

Hearing this method, everyone sighed, praised the wonderful, it was really whimsical, and Cai Yan worshiped Lin Nan very much, as if the gods had descended.

In the discussion of everyone, Lin Nan also gradually remembered some of the forgotten initials and finals of Hanyu Pinyin, and in the discussion of everyone, time passed like a fly, and Cai Yong didn't know when, he actually went home, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard everyone's discussion.

"What is this, and who invented it?"

Seeing Cai Yong asking, Lin Nan hurriedly explained again, Cai Yong thought for a long time, suddenly slapped the table, and praised loudly: "It's really a wonderful idea, the method of gods and ghosts! He burst out laughing.

When everyone saw Cai Yong behaving like this, they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Cai Yong smiled and said: "Ziyang's invention can be compared to Cai Hou's papermaking skills, and there are disciples like this, which is enough to comfort his life!" After speaking, he laughed again.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder again, and Cai Yan was also strange, because Cai Yong had never been so out of shape. In fact, Lin Nan's creation has pushed the historical civilization of China forward for nearly 2,000 years.

As we all know, Pingshang into the four tones is the invention of the Liang people Shen Yue during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Gelu poetry only matured in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century that the Chinese realized the importance of using pinyin to mark Chinese characters, and the real standard Chinese pinyin scheme was published in recent decades, so Lin Nan's innovation, at that time, was really shocking and crying, and it is no wonder that the great Confucian Cai Yong lost his temper because of this.

After everyone discussed for a while, it was time for dinner, so Cai Yong left Zhong Xiang and Wang Cang for dinner, and the two were not very polite.

After dinner, Zhong Xiang and Wang Cang took their leave.
