Chapter 38: Daigo Empowerment

"This proves that some people still believe in these little stories I made up."

The plan succeeded, and he gained so many popular values at once, Ding Xiao was a little complacent.

However, he also understands that it is okay for these small stories to fool the common people, but most literati should not believe them.

Because although he has made a breakthrough, after all, he only has a triple habitat, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to become a leader, so it is difficult to convince the public.

"Looks like I'm going to have to keep trying to break through."

With this thought, he went all out and made up a few interesting stories, which made Dian Wei and the others spread out again.

In this way, his fame gradually spread, not only into the ears of some high-ranking officials, but also out of the capital, and spread farther away.

It's a pity that the good luck didn't last long, with the occurrence of "Empress Dowager He poisoned Empress Dowager Dong", those small stories compiled by Ding Xiao were quickly replaced by this news and quickly spread to various places.

Dian Wei felt that it was not good to do things, so he came back to find Ding Xiao and wanted to take the blame.

"Major General, now everyone is talking about this matter, and no one listens to our story at all...... Dian Wei bowed his head and bowed, "The last general is incompetent, and I ask the major general to punish him." ”

"Brother Dian, please get up quickly." Ding Xiao smiled and helped Dian Wei up, "I don't blame you for this." ”

Now that the time has reached the middle of July, the wind and waves in central Beijing are calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging and dangerous.

He Jin and Zhang Rang are tense between the two major forces, and they are just a little bit hot before they will usher in the final showdown.

Compared to this major event, his story is a little less worth mentioning.

"Withdraw your people." Ding Xiao smiled, "I have other arrangements for them. ”

"Thank you, Major General!"

Dian Wei clenched his fists and bowed, "The last general will do it." ”

"Looks like I'm going to have to add to the fire."

After seeing Dian Wei leave, Ding Xiao changed into formal clothes, asked the two to bring some gifts, and went to Wang Yun's house with him.

"Besides, I've heard people say that you have recently become famous and have been dubbed 'Little Taigong', but is there such a thing?"

Three months have passed, Wang Yun and Ding Xiao have become very familiar, and they have spoken much more casually.

"It is true! But it was just a joke between friends, and he didn't have to take it seriously. ”

When he said this, Ding Xiao actually felt a little proud in his heart.

Even Wang Yun knows his nickname, which proves that his hype is very successful this time.

But he didn't expect that what Wang Yun said before was just a counterstatement.

"You only have habitat cultivation now, don't you think it's funny to learn what kind of poetry club tea party people hold every day, chant poems every day, get drunk and dream of death?" Wang Yun asked with a smile.

"I think it's okay, actually, ......"

Ding Xiao grinned and was about to explain, but as soon as he saw the expression on Wang Yun's face, he temporarily changed his words, "What Shibo has taught is that it is indeed a bit self-defeating to remove it. ”

"It's not too late to know that mistakes can be corrected."

Wang Yun nodded with satisfaction, then put away his smile, and reminded with a solemn expression, "Your father Ding Yuan entrusted you to me before leaving, and I have to be responsible for you." So on top of that, I have to give you a piece of advice. ”

"Uncle Shi, please speak, except for it." Ding Xiao hurriedly said seriously.

"I also know a little bit about your situation," Wang Yun said slowly, "You lived a very hard life as a child, although you wanted to study, but you didn't have any opportunities, so you caused today's situation." ”

Speaking of this, his words changed abruptly, "But your method is wrong!" ”

"Please make it clear!" Ding Xiao answered very obediently.

"You are holding a party with habitat cultivation, which is nonsense in itself! The people on the street don't understand, but what do you think the civil and military will think? Wang Yun asked.

"You'll think I'm ...... Amusing? Ding Xiao followed the other party's words and continued.

"I didn't ask you to answer!"

After Wang Yun glared at Ding Xiao, he continued, "They will think that you are grandstanding and selling your reputation!" ”

After a pause, he emphasized, "Once this impression is formed, it will be preconceived, and it will be difficult to change it in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Ding Xiao was shocked and suddenly woke up.

Wang Yun is right, although his little trick can bring him a lot of popular value in the short term, but those real celebrities, one by one, have outrageous vision, and they don't care about this kind of rumor at all!

Maybe someone will really think that Ding Xiao is flashy because of this, and then look at him coldly!

"Thank you for your teachings, except for the mistake!"

Ding Xiao's thanks this time are truly from the bottom of his heart.

He then bowed respectfully and begged, "I am willing to ask Shibo to give me some guidance for my little nephew!" ”

"Well, the children are teachable!"

Seeing Ding Xiao's sincere attitude, Wang Yun couldn't help but smile again, and then suggested, "The so-called art industry has a specialization, if you are really studious, you should worship a respected Confucian as a teacher, and devote yourself to studying for several years before you can become a talent!" ”

"Apprenticeship?"

Ding Xiao's eyes lit up.

He had been thinking hard about how to blend into the circle of scholars, but he couldn't, so he came up with a trick to hype himself, which was almost self-defeating, causing the disgust of those celebrities.

At this moment, Wang Yun woke up the dreamer with a word, which made him suddenly feel like an empowering.

"If I worship a great Confucian as a teacher, I can rightfully enter the circle of scholars! What's more, my seniority was mentioned at once, and I was able to sit on an equal footing with many people! It's a win-win-win! Why didn't I think of such a good way before? ”

Ding Xiao was overjoyed, and after thanking Wang Yun repeatedly, he humbly asked, "Then Shibo thinks, which great Confucian should I worship as a teacher?" ”

"When the great Confucian, when Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi were the first to be recommended, but Zheng Gong devoted himself to studying, repeatedly refused to conquer, and was not in Beijing at this time, if you have a heart, you can worship Shangshu Lu Zhi as a teacher." Wang Yun said with a smile.

Of course, Ding Xiao knew the names of these two people, both of them were disciples of the late Great Confucian Ma Rong, and they had a good status in the scholar circle.

Among them, Zheng Xuan concentrates on learning and ignores the world, while Lu Zhi is the teacher of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan.

"It would be good if I could become the junior brother of these two." Ding Xiao thought secretly.

However, although Lu Zhi was in Beijing at this time, he was an official and a scholar, and he was busy with official duties every day, so I am afraid that he had no time to teach his disciples.

"If Lu Zhi rejects me on this ground, how should I respond?"

With this worry, he opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Shi, if the little nephew wants to worship Gong Lu as a teacher, is Uncle Shi willing to introduce the little nephew?" ”

"Huh."

Wang Yun shook his head and smiled, "You think too highly of me, how can I have such a big face?" ”

After a pause, he sighed, "If it is decided today, the affairs of the DPRK and China are complicated, and the Duke of Lu and Shangshu are probably ......."

Wang Yun didn't finish his words, but Ding Xiao already understood what the other party meant, and his answer was the same as his guess.

He actually doesn't care about this, because there are many great Confucians in the world, and Lu Zhi can't do it here, so he can try others.

Besides, he's here today for another purpose.

And at this moment, Wang Yun happened to mention the general trend of the world, so he took the opportunity to say, "Shibo's words are wrong! Today, there are Hu and Qiang on the outside, the Yellow Turban, Black Mountain, and Baibo Rebellion inside, and there are ten permanent servants in Beijing. ”
