After getting up early the next day and washing up, Lin Nan went downstairs to the hall of the inn to eat.

I don't know if it's to save food or if I'm really not afraid of hunger, people in the Eastern Han Dynasty only ate two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and they didn't have the habit of eating at all in the evening, unless there was a banquet held for some purpose. Perhaps, people at that time were used to it, but Lin Nan was not used to it, so sometimes he had to eat something at night.

After arriving at the hall, Lin Nan and the old servant Lin Zhong found a place by the window to sit down and eat.

On the seat next to them, there were two people, about twenty years old, and the dress should also be a gentleman who was studying abroad, one was handsome and chic, the other was very majestic and solemn, and the majestic and solemn person actually wore a sword at his waist, but I don't know if this sword was an ornament, and the two were talking about something while eating.

I only listened to one person: "This time the Xiongnu Koubian, it is really the national shame of my Han Dynasty, but the traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, confusing the saints, privately withholding the military situation and not reporting, and the ministers of the court and the central government are doing nothing, and what is even more hateful is that Jinyang Taishou, who abandoned the official and fled, ignoring the people, thinking that my Han has such officials, it is really the sorrow of the court and the sorrow of the world." ”

Another humanitarian: "The most pitiful thing is the people of Nazhou, who have been bullied by foreign races, have no food to eat, no clothes, and many people, who have been captured by the Huns as slaves, which is really miserable." ”

One of the previous people said: "Therefore, I will go to the state in a few days to organize the local people to resist the Xiongnu, although I can't turn things around, but I must do my best." ”

Another said: "Hey! I'm afraid that Brother Ji, you have to go and not return, the major events in the world are beyond your control, I think, sooner or later, the emperor will know about this matter, and the imperial court will soon send someone to merge the state, and it will not be too late for me to help the enemy at that time. ”

The previous man sighed: "What Brother Kong Zhang said is very true, but I don't know who wants to go to that bitter cold land, although the state is poor, but it is also the land of my Han Dynasty, although the people are stupid, but they are also my Han people, I just hope that the court will not give up the annexation of the state." ”

……

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Nan also sighed secretly in his heart, the emperor is mediocre, the dynasty is corrupt, the government is corrupt, the people are not happy, the world is out of order, the people are in turmoil, the national fortune is sluggish, and the border troubles are endless, who is to blame? The emperor too! This qiē all originated from the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, the faint monarch, the eunuchs were rampant, controlling the government, why the eunuchs were so rampant, how could they control the government, it was not because he had the support of the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty behind him, if it was not for the emperor's favor and trust in the eunuchs, how could the eunuchs have so much courage to control the government, left and right hundreds of officials, the world was in chaos, and it was really the fault of one person.

But those intellectuals in ancient times, always advocate those "for the venerable" "the son does not say anything about the father" and other useless theories, whose mistake it is, it is who's, it is useless to cover up, the people of the world are in their eyes, remember in their hearts, if Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty can be pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, and the Zheng Dynasty Gang, so that the officials are clear, the country is rich and strong, and the people live in peace, then how dare the Huns make mistakes, and how can the world be chaotic? Therefore, in the feudal society, the chaos in the world is decided by the emperor alone, but it is a pity that the ancient intellectuals put all the charges on those eunuchs and traitors, but they did not investigate who let these eunuchs and traitors do whatever they wanted, thus ignoring the main contradiction of things, so they could not fundamentally solve the problem. Therefore, as long as there is a mediocre emperor in China's feudal society, there will be chaos in the world.

In the final analysis, this qiē is because of the excessive concentration of power, the concentration of power in the hands of only one person, and the lack of supervision and checks and balances, will make those in power unscrupulous and do whatever they want, and there will be many low-level, naïve and ridiculous mistakes, and it will bring endless disasters to society and people.

Therefore, when a country's power is too concentrated, it must have sufficient supervisory power to contend with those in power, so as to achieve long-term peace and stability.

It seems that Lin Nan has been thinking about it for too long, and he is too distracted, he doesn't even know when the two people in the seat next to him left, and when he comes back to his senses, there are already people around him who are empty.

"Alas! Lost a chance to make friends. Kong Zhang, the season, these two characters are so familiar, it seems that they have been seen in the Three Kingdoms game. Lin Nan muttered secretly in his heart.

After eating, Lin Nan went back to his room to read a book for a while.

At this time, paper had not yet been popularized, and most of the books were bamboo slips, and they were traditional characters, without punctuation, and the writing style was official script, so Lin Nan had a hard time reading it, and he could only barely read it.

After watching it for a while, Lin Nan became sleepy, so he leaned on the bed and took a nap, waiting for time, thinking about some things about the banquet in the evening.

In the haze, Lin Nan felt that someone was calling him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the old servant Lin Zhong, only to hear Lin Zhong say: "Young master, wake up, I'm going to Zhang's Mansion in a while." ”

"Hmm." Lin Nan agreed and asked, "It's still early, what's the hurry?" Looking at the sky outside, the sun hadn't set yet, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

"Young master, it's already time to apply, it's not early." Seeing Lin Nan's reluctant appearance, Lin Zhong hurriedly explained.

Helplessly, under Lin Zhong's urging, Lin Nan had to get up and freshen up. "Why did you prepare for the banquet at night so early, I really don't understand the people of the Three Kingdoms era." Lin Nan was very puzzled. However, suddenly, Lin Nan understood, "Yes, in this era, there is a lack of lighting tools, and you rely on candles at night, and in this era, you have to have rich people to light candles, and poor families basically rest as soon as the sun sets, so people in this era regard dusk as the beginning of the night." ”

After freshening up, Lin Nan came to Zhang's mansion, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw several people sitting inside, all talking about something, and the two people he met in the inn in the morning were impressively in the ranks.

As soon as he saw Lin Nan coming in, Zhang Fei hurriedly greeted him, took Lin Nan's hand and said with a smile: "Haha, Ziyang, you're late, you want to drink a few more drinks in a while." With that, he pulled Lin Nan and walked into the house.

"I've been guilty of sins, I've been sleeping for a while, and I hope my brother will forgive me." Lin Nan hurriedly compensated no.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, everyone, this is what I just mentioned in Liaodong Linnan Lin Ziyang." Zhang Fei introduced Lin Nan as he walked inside, and at the same time, he also introduced several people present to Lin Nan, several of whom were unknown people, at least Lin Nan had never heard of them, and the two people he met at the inn, the handsome and dashing person was Chen Lin, the one who once wrote a text to Yuan Shao to scold Cao Cao, and the other majestic and solemn person was Cui Yan, who was also the famous beautiful man in the history of the Three Kingdoms, the one who pretended to be Cao Cao in Cao Cao's allusion knife catcher.

Lin Nan recognized the two of them, and the two of them seemed to recognize Lin Nan as well, and the three of them looked surprised, they couldn't imagine that they would meet again so soon.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down separately, and soon talked about the border troubles, all the words were fierce, and the excitement was abnormal, all of them accused the court of failing to govern and the officials were corrupt, but no one proposed a solution, seeing that everyone was like this, Lin Nan sighed.

Hearing Lin Nan's sigh, Cui Yan asked out loud: "I don't know what Ziyang thinks about this?" ”

Lin Nanlang said: "I want to go to Luoyang to seek an official position, go north and state to resist the Huns, although I am a scholar, but the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, I am willing to shed all my blood for the territory of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Okay, okay, Ziyang and I coincide." Cui Yan clapped his hands and said, "In this way, I am willing to go the same way with Ziyang and merge with the state." ”

Hearing Cui Yan say this, Lin Nan was happy in his heart: "What a big husband, bold, and characterful, I like it." Therefore, Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Great, I don't want to have a confidant today, but Nan is lucky, and he should be a big deal." So, Lin Nan picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all.

"If you have Ziyang as a confidant, I should also be a big white." Cui Yan also picked up a bowl of wine and dried it.

The next procedure is naturally to fight for wine, you respect me, I respect him, a glass of left and a glass of right, fortunately, the alcohol in this era is not high, so although Lin Nan drank a lot, he could barely hold on. But the rest of the people are no longer good, they are all staggering, walking staggeringly, some simply fall asleep on a few cases, Cui Yan is also drunk, but Zhang Fei is still toasting everyone.

In this way, Lin Nan finally had a drink with Zhang Fei, and then ordered someone to call Lin Zhong and returned to the inn.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, just after washing, I heard Lin Zhong say that Cui Yan was visiting, Lin Nan was secretly surprised in his heart, early in the morning, what was he doing here? But I didn't think much about it, so I hurried out to meet him.
