In July of the first year of Taixing, Wei Shuo, the general of Zhenbei, repeatedly sent people to Longshan to invite Yang Ke, Xin Mi, and Suo to attack the mountain.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, due to the frequent changes of political power and the cruel political struggles, the slightest carelessness may lead to death. Moreover, the more famous people are, the more likely they are to be contaminated with disasters, such as Kong Rong, Ji Kang, Pan Yue and others, all of whom were tragically wiped out because they were involved in political struggles.

Therefore, in this special era, a hidden cultural phenomenon with the characteristics of the times has been formed.

The most intuitive manifestation of "hidden culture" is that a large number of celebrities have fled to the mountains and forests, not asking about the world, and becoming hermits.

Although Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, said, "If there is a state, there is a way, and if there is no way, it is hidden"; Mencius also said: "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world"; The literati are proud when they are proud, and when they are frustrated, they have been hiding since ancient times.

However, there were many hermits in the late Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and they were probably the crown of all dynasties.

Among this large number of hermits, although there are peerless talents like Zhuge Liang, Wang Meng, and Xie An, who are literate and secure, and martial arts who can set the country, and there are literati like Tao Yuanming, most of them are people who sell their fame and reputation.

Yang, Xin, and Suo were famous hermits in the northwest at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, and their talents did not lie in governing the world and the people, but they were all scholars who were good at literature and teaching and educating people.

With the Liaodong Army recovering the entire Guanzhong, university halls are being built in various places, and there is an urgent need for celebrities and scholars to sit in the town.

Therefore, Wei Shuo repeatedly warmly invited Yang, Xin, and Suo to come to Chang'an.

In order to entertain the three hermits of Longshan, Wei Shuo also invited the three Confucian Dong Jingdao, Taisan, and Xu Xian, who had lived in seclusion in Shangluoshan, to accompany them.

At the beginning of the lanterns, when it was time for the banquet, Wei Shuo hurriedly invited everyone to take a seat.

As the strength of Liaodong became higher and higher, there were more and more celebrities who came to defect, and every time a banquet was held, more and more people participated.

Everyone humbled and sat down after finding their place.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of contracted maidservants and maidservants shuttled back and forth between the banquets, serving the guests with food and wine. It didn't take long for the atmosphere in the lobby to be lively.

Because it is a banquet for hermits, it is grand and not lively, and the current popular two-seat system is adopted, and more than 30 seats are fully opened, and the entire hall is filled.

There are only four seats at one end of the lobby facing the door, one seat is the master of Wei Shuo, and the other three seats are Yang Ke, Xin Mi, and Suo Xi, three great hermits who are famous in the northwest.

The other seats are displayed on both sides, with a total of three tiers, four people each, and a large open space in the middle for singing and dancing performances.

After a while, the dishes and wine came up, and everyone's interest was attracted to eating and drinking. During the banquet, there were traces of too heavy Liaodong wine and food, not only the new crops and new foods brought by Wei Shuo from later generations, but also the rare things introduced by Liaodong merchants from other places, in short, the people who participated in the banquet were eye-opening.

Yang Ke, Xin Mi, and Suo Xi sat between the banquets without a sense of restraint, tasting all kinds of delicacies while staggering at all kinds of luxury goods. The three of them had heard that Liaodong was extremely rich, and they only knew that they were lonely and unheard of when they saw it today. No matter how much they imagined that Liaodong was rich before, they didn't expect that the utensils used in the banquet were all dazzling glass products.

The room was full of glassware, white as jade, red as simple and elegant, green and lovely, each of which was worth a lot in the eyes of the three hermits.

After three rounds of drinking, only to listen to the sound of music, a group of more than 100 dancers came to the venue, singing and dancing, colorful clothes flying, and the audio-visual feast was exhausted.

Maiko are of very high quality, all of them are pretty, hanging down with a swallowtail-shaped bun, wearing translucent light gauze clothes, dancing into the hall like a flying fly, singing and dancing, making all kinds of graceful gestures, and everyone is fascinated by it.

As the dancing queen retreated, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Da Confucian Xu Xian raised his glass at this time and said: "If it weren't for the general of Zhenbei to turn the tide and destroy Hu Lu, it would be impossible for us to gather in Chang'an today to share the joy of singing, dancing and food!" The old man respects the general of the town of Peking University for a cup, so that the old man will not become a slave of the country, and he will not have to go far from his hometown to worship his ancestors. ”

After saying that, they drank it all, and then everyone reacted, and they echoed it, of course, they inevitably complimented Wei Shuo again.

Even Yang Ke and the three of them showed respect on their faces, and couldn't help but echo a few words. Although they were forced to live in seclusion because they were dissatisfied with the policies of the imperial court, they had deep respect for Wei Shuo, the general of Zhenbei, who saved the world from crisis several times and saved the people of the world from being enslaved by Hulu.

If it weren't for this, Ke would not have taken the initiative to give advice to Beigong Chun and help him cross Longshan.

"Xiaozong has won the award!"

Wei Shuo said modestly: "Mr. Xu attributed the great credit of saving the world to Shuo, which really made a certain person feel ashamed. Without Wenji, Jingqian, Shirong, Taizhen, Changzhi and other pillars of the temple to calculate, without Duan Wenyang, Liu Yao, Mao Bao, Beigong Chun and other soldiers charging into battle, how can there be the prosperity of Liaodong today? ”

"The reason why the Liaodong Army has not been defeated in a hundred battles is not unrelated to the importance of talent. Xiren, Weizu, and Shuzhong are all great talents in the world, if they have been hiding from the world, it will inevitably be a waste of talents, I intend to ask the three gentlemen to go out of the mountain to help, I don't know how many of them think? ”

"This ......" Yang Ke hesitated.

In the face of Beigong Chun's enthusiasm, he could choose to refuse, but this time in the face of the invitation of the general of Zhenbei, who is most likely to dominate the world in the future, Yang Ke hesitated!

The rise of hermit culture in the Wei and Jin dynasties was inseparable from the political situation and the situation in the world at that time. For example, Zhuge Liang cultivated Longlong, and Wang Meng lived in seclusion in Huashan, both of which were choosing opportunities to emerge.

Taking Yang Ke as an example, although he also has a faint idea of fame and fortune in his bones, it is impossible to say that he is not interested in fame and fortune at all. From the fact that after he lived in seclusion, he was able to open a museum to accept apprentices, and it can be seen that he has political ambitions and ideals. Now in the face of Wei Shuo's strong invitation, he naturally has to weigh it again.

"Shuo knows that the three gentlemen are of noble character and regard fame and fortune as dung, so they don't dare to ruin the reputation of a few gentlemen with high-ranking officials, why don't you invite a few of them to join the Chang'an University Hall and preside over the preparation for the construction of Yongzhou School?"

With the passage of time, the various policies implemented in Liaodong began to spread. Although many families are extremely dissatisfied with most of the policies implemented in Liaodong, when it comes to the heads and doctors of various universities in Liaodong, they all give thumbs up and praise. As an extremely noble position in Liaodong, it is sought after by countless readers.

"There are many talents under the command of General Zhenbei, Xu Xiaozong, Tai Guojun, and Dong Wenbo are all famous Confucian scholars in the world, and with all of you, Chang'an University Hall will be successfully built in the shortest possible time, and my lord should let me return to the mountains and forests."

Unexpectedly, Suo Xian rejected Wei Shuo's invitation first, among the three, Suo Xian paid the least attention to fame and fortune, and his learning was the most complicated, and he was also the talent that Wei Shuo valued the most.

Among Yang, Suo, and Xin, Yang Ke studied the Book of Changes and belonged to the Huang Lao faction; Xin Mi, the son of orthodox Confucianism, is good at literature, and the gongcao lishu is particularly outstanding; Only Suo Xi not only studied Confucianism, but also proficient in yin and yang, geography, and astronomy, which shows that he has learned a lot of miscellaneous works, and has dozens of works on astronomy and geography.

"Why did Mr. Wei Zu refuse? Is there something that Shuo is not doing well enough? I have heard that Mr. Shuo is writing several articles on geography, and if Mr. Shuo does not dislike it, he is willing to fund and support him to compile a brilliant masterpiece that includes world geography. ”

Suo Xun tried his best to remain calm on the surface, and said in a deep voice: "The general of Zhenbei is highly accomplished, how dare he be dissatisfied?" In my opinion, the person who can return a piece of pure land to the people of the world in the future is none other than the general of Zhenbei. To tell the truth, the proposal of the lord is very exciting, but Suo has always been lazy, worried that he will not be able to fulfill the great trust of the general. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei Zu is too modest, with the talent of Mr., isn't it very simple to compile a geographical scholarship? Besides, with Liaodong behind his back, what else is there to worry about? ”

"That's it, that's it, Mr. Weizu doesn't know, he has entered the academy as a doctor, and there are many students and doctors who can help you!"

"The three of them are all great talents in the world, it's a pity to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, it's better to take the opportunity to be born and share something for the people of the world!"

In the face of the kind invitation from Wei Shuo, Yang Ke, Suo Xi, and Xin Mi could only choose to stay in the end. (To be continued.) )
