Chapter 100: Celebrities

In the next few days, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici practiced martial arts together every day. is the same as a gun, Zhao Yun's marksmanship is clever and clever, while Tai Shici takes a strong and powerful route, the two of them come and go together, and they fight very well. And Lin Nan occasionally pointed out on the side, and the two of them could vaguely see that Lin Nan seemed to be good at martial arts, but Lin Nan didn't want to be exposed, so the two didn't ask.

In this way, after a few days, Zhao Yun's martial arts were slightly better, and the two of them also admired Lin Nan very much, because under Lin Nan's guidance, they learned a lot of things, and at the same time, the two of them had a deeper respect for Lin Nan.

After a few days of getting along, Lin Nan suddenly wanted to settle the righteous on a whim, so he proposed the righteous to Zhao Yuntai, Shi Ci and Zhang He. Unexpectedly, the three of them responded in an uproar, they were very excited, and everyone also praised and called this righteous deed. The next day, in the courtyard, prepare the black cow and white horse sacrifice and other items, ask the old lady to be a witness, Lin Zhong presided over the ceremony, Cui Yan Guanhai and others watched the ceremony, the four of them burned incense and bowed again and swore an oath: "Reading Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, although Zhang He is a different surname, since he is a brother, he will work together to save the poor and help the needy, report to the country, go down to An Lishu, do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but only wish to die on the same day and month of the same year, the emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together!" After the oath was completed, the four of them exchanged their ages, naturally Lin Nan was the largest, followed by Zhang He, then Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici was the youngest.

After the four of them got righteous, they hurriedly kowtowed to the old lady, Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He hurriedly performed the gift of their sons and nephews, calling them "mother", and the old lady laughed and was very happy.

The old lady stroked the heads of the four people and said: "I can't imagine that my old woman has three more sons today, hehe, your three brothers already have a table, but Ci'er, you still haven't had a table, today, think of a table for your mother." ”

Tai Shici hurriedly replied: "Please give me a word." ”

So, the old lady said: "Today, the four of you are like-minded, righteous knot Jinlan, he should take the righteous word first in everything in the future, help each other, and do not insult the love of today's righteousness, so, Ci'er, your expression is called Ziyi." ”

Tai Shici hurriedly thanked him, and Lin Nan, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He also hurriedly agreed.

And Zhao Wei also clapped his hands and smiled: "It's really good, I have three more brothers, it turns out that I have a big brother named Zhao Ci, and today there is another brother whose name also has a word Ci, what a coincidence." ”

Hearing this, Lin Nan knew that Zhao Yun had an elder brother named Zhao Ci, but he had passed away now.

Immediately, everyone began to pack up again and prepare to go on the road, and when they saw that everyone was about to leave again, the old lady couldn't help but feel sad again.

The next day, Lin Nan and the others hurriedly said goodbye to the old lady and Lin Zhong, and left Lin Zhong some money for a year's daily needs, and repeatedly told Lin Zhong to take care of the old lady, but Lin Zhong repeatedly instructed Cui Yan and Guan Hai to let them take care of Lin Nan. As for Tai Shici leaving home for the first time, his heart was even more sad, and the mother and son cried bitterly, and they stopped for a long time.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, everyone began to hit the road, and this time, they really headed for Luoyang.

Two days later, the group came to Beihai.

After entering the city, Lin Nan said to Cui Yan: "If you want to visit Daxian Guan You'an, it is better to go and meet Kong Beihai first. ”

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the name of the person is called the table word or official name, the same generation, or between friends, in order to show closeness, call the table word, and for unfamiliar people, in order to show respect, call the official name, Kong Rong was the official worship of Beihai Taishou at that time, so Lin Nan called it Kong Beihai.

Cui Yan also nodded in agreement, there is no way, there are too many celebrities in Beihai, if you go to visit them one by one, I am afraid that you will not be able to finish it in a month, it is better to visit Kong Rong directly, after all, Confucius Mansion was a gathering place for celebrities at that time.

Kong Rong, the twentieth grandson of Confucius, the great Confucian of the world, and the famous people at home, together with Chen Lin, Wang Cang, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Ying Ling, and Liu Zhen, are called the seven sons of Jian'an. And excellent guests, he often said: "The seats are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty: my wish is also." Therefore, his home has naturally become a gathering place for famous people in the world.

So, leaving Guan Hai, Lin Zhong, and Zhao Wei at the inn, Lin Nan took Zhao Yuntai, Shi Ci, Zhang He, and Cui Yan to the Confucian Mansion.

Visiting Kong Rong is nothing more than talking about some poems and songs, moral articles, which are all irrelevant content.

However, when it came to Lin Nan's ambition, Kong Rong couldn't help but praise it again. At the same time, for Cui Yan, Zhao Yun and Zhang He, Kong Rong was also blue-eyed and praised it, and when he learned that Tai Shi Ci was actually the son of Tai Shi Gong, the former governor of Beihai, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This trip to visit Kong Rong was still successful, because Kong Rong promised to set up a banquet tomorrow for Lin Nan to pick up the south to wash the dust, and at that time, he would invite many Qingzhou celebrities to come to the banquet, which is a good means of publicity for Lin Nan.

In ancient times, the exchanges between doctors and scholars were often carried out by means of guò banquets, so until now, Chinese still like to solve problems at the wine table, especially the northeast people of China, who cannot do things without drinking. Thousands of years of bad habits, it is too difficult to change, but Lin Nan knows that this banquet in the Confucian Mansion is very important, and his appearance will directly affect the opinion of Qingzhou celebrities on him, which is very important to his future, so after returning to the inn, Lin Nan began to think about what to do tomorrow, what to say, and what to do. And Cui Yan is also nervous, facing the celebrities who have been admired in his heart for a long time, Cui Yan doesn't know what to do. Only Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were still practicing martial arts, and they didn't take the banquet to heart at all.

They are still too young, they don't know the importance of this kind of banquet at all, and they ignore the strength of these great Confucians, without them, how can you govern the country? Sing a one-man show by yourself? Cultivate talents by yourself? How many years will it take, looking at his two younger brothers, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

After the preparation was completed the next day, Lin Nan took Cui Yan and his three younger brothers to the Confucian Mansion, although they came early, there were still many people who had already arrived in advance, so Kong Rong introduced Lin Nan one by one, and at the same time introduced Lin Nan to everyone one by one.

Not to mention, there are really many celebrities, such as Guo Yuan, Wang Lie, Wang Xiu, Xu Gan, Sun Gan and others, these people were very famous during the Three Kingdoms period, but Guan Ning didn't arrive, I don't know if he came. After Lin Nan and the others came, they greeted everyone, but Lin Nan's fame is still too small, so everyone doesn't take him very seriously, but once the celebrities and gentlemen get together, they will naturally start to be "sour", and they are also dragged around, making Zhao Yun, Zhang Hetai, and Shi Ci depressed, but Cui Yan is full of energy and excited.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked up at the door. I saw two people coming in from outside the door, one in front of the other and one behind. Both of them are wearing white Confucian clothes, with a broad belt, but the people in front of them have beautiful and elegant appearances, which makes people forget about the vulgar, and the people in the back have square faces, so that people dare not squint.

After these two people came, Kong Rong hurriedly greeted them and introduced them to everyone: "Everyone, today I will introduce you to the two great sages. Then, he led the person in front of him with his hand and said, "This is Guan Ning Guan You'an." And he introduced another person and said, "This is Bingyuan Bing." So the people came to greet them.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, Kong Rong announced the start of the banquet, and everyone sat down one after another. The chief was Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, and Lin Nan and others sat in the second seat. Looking at the entire hall, only Lin Nan is from the south of the Yangtze River, and the rest of the people are from the north, among them, Beihai is the majority, so it can be said that this should be a conference of famous people in the north.

This kind of conference is basically just to talk about poetry and current affairs, and the other purpose is to communicate with each other and provide an opportunity for exchanges between celebrities and celebrities.

After Kong Rong toasted, everyone began to toast one by one, and at the same time, they were talking in twos and threes. Of course, all the celebrities also paid tribute to Kong Rong one by one, and raised their glasses to invite everyone to drink together. In the face of so many celebrities from the Three Kingdoms, Lin Nan was really a little complacent, and it was really a great joy in life to be able to have a drink with them. True celebrities flow from the south, and the high wind and bright festival of celebrities in the Three Kingdoms era are incomparable to modern people, and in comparison, modern people prefer to sell fame and reputation. Therefore, Lin Nan sometimes really hates modern people, I don't know when it began, people have become treacherous and deceitful, and have lost their original innocence and honesty. Poor thing. Thinking of this, Lin Nan was really glad that he could come to the Three Kingdoms era.

When the wine was half-drunk, Sun Qian got up and said, "Kong Taishou invited me to a banquet today, I don't know what the so-called thing is?"

Kong Rong smiled and said, "Everyone, today I will introduce you to a talented man from Liaodong, who is this Lin Nan Lin Ziyang. As he spoke, he pointed to the direction in which Lin Nan was sitting.

Helpless, after Kong Rong finished speaking, Lin Nan quickly stood up, saluted everyone, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today Nan can drink with all the great Confucian celebrities, it is really an honor, Nan is rude, I will give you a glass first." After speaking, Lin Nan took a drink.

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Bing Yuan suddenly said: "I heard that Ziyang wants to go to Bingzhou to resist the Huns, and he has such great ambitions at a young age, he will definitely be able to ride the clouds to the nine heavens one day." ”

Hearing this, everyone began to praise them, and Lin Nan had no choice but to keep being humble.

After drinking until midnight, everyone came out of the Confucian Mansion, and after returning to the inn, Lin Nan discussed with Cui Yan who to visit tomorrow, and finally the two decided to visit Guan Ning first, and they could only visit Guan Ning alone, because time was very tight after all.

After the two had finished their discussions, they went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, after Lin Nan and Cui Yan were ready, they came to visit Guan Ning, Lin Nan did not bring his three righteous brothers this time, for fear that they would be annoying, after all, they don't like this kind of "high-minded talk".

When he arrived at Guan Ning's house, Lin Nan was surprised to find that the three of Bingyuan Guoyuan and Wang Lie were actually present.

Seeing Lin Nan arrive, Guo Yuan said with a smile: "We are talking about Ziyang, I didn't expect Ziyang to arrive so soon, it's really 'say Ziyang, Ziyang will arrive'." ”

Lin Nan smiled and said: "It is really an honor for Nan to be evaluated by several great sages. ”

Guo Yuan smiled and said, "What can you judge? It's nothing more than admiring Ziyang's ambition." ”

"Hehe, judging others behind his back, this is not Daxian's doing. After listening to Lin Nan's joke, several people laughed, and then Bing Yuan said: "We are not talking about others, we are talking about our own people." ”

Hearing what Bing Yuan said, everyone laughed again.

Lin Nan hurriedly said modestly: "It is rare for a few great sages to treat Nan like this, and Nan is deeply moved. ”

At this time, Wang Lie said: "I don't know why Ziyang came?"

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Nan is going to Luoyang to seek officials, and today I am here to bid farewell to a few people." ”

Wang Lie said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as resigning. ”

Lin Nan said: "Of course, Nan wants to invite a few people to go to Bingzhou to endure hardships." ”

Bing Yuan said with a smile: "In the bitter cold land of Bingzhou, you want us to go and have no return." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "In front of you is a bitter cold land, after a few people arrive, it will not be a bitter cold place, how many people dare to believe in Zi Yang's ability?"

"We believe in Ziyang's talent and ambition, but we really don't know what rule of law Ziyang wants to use to merge the state. Gradually getting to the point, Bing Yuan began to ask tentatively.

"The saint is impermanent, takes the people as his own heart, as long as he is righteous to the people, concentrates great power in the imperial court, hides wealth in the people, imposes strict laws on the powerful, exalts the prestige of the heavens to the barbarians, and opens up trade routes in the world, why can't he be in the prosperous era?

After a while, Guo Yuan said again: "Zi Yang's words are very good, but I am afraid it is not easy to put them into practice. ”

Lin Nan sighed: "Yes, the things of the world have always been easy to say, difficult to do, and it is not only Zhao Kuo who has done it on paper?" After a pause, Lin Nan said with emotion: "But if everyone gives up some things because of difficulties, will there be any major events in the world? If all the things in the world are abandoned because of their difficulties, then how can the affairs of the world be accomplished? Today, the imperial court is disordered, the eunuchs are dictatorial, the border troubles are endless, and the people's livelihood is suffering. The eldest husband was born here, he swore without indignation, made meritorious contributions, upright the discipline of the imperial court, and saved all the people from fire and water, what face does he have to stand in the world!"

As soon as Lin Nan's words came out, everyone admired them deeply, and after a while, Guan Ning finally spoke: "Ziyang has great ambitions, it is better to do it, if he has a life, he would rather be with him." ”

Seeing that Guan Ning had spoken, Wang Lie of Bingyuan Guoyuan was busy making a promise. It seems that they agreed to Lin Nan's request.

Seeing these great sages returning to their hearts, Lin Nan couldn't help but be very happy in his heart, although these guys can only talk about and engage in internal affairs, but the improvement of their reputation is still good, and it is still very beneficial to have these guys to build momentum for themselves.

However, although Lin Nan didn't take these so-called celebrities in his eyes very much, the expression on his face was still very modest, and he hurriedly saluted everyone and sat down again to talk.

After that, Lin Nan stayed in Beihai for another three days, and it was not until three days later that Lin Nan said goodbye to Kong Rongguanning and others, and the group went on the road and came to Luoyang.
