Chapter 418: Birthday Banquet (Medium)

Liu Xin knew that this was the first hurdle he encountered today, that is, to have a good chat with Mr. Yang Ci about in-depth cooperation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Therefore, Liu Xin decided to come to a "preemptive strike" and grasp the right to speak in advance.

Liu Xin took the set of four books and five classics that had been marked from the hands of the subordinates who accompanied him on the side, came to Yang Ci, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I wish you to have this dynasty every year, and I wish you to have today, this is the four books and five classics marked by the king himself, and I also ask Mr. Yang to advise." ”

Yang Ci took the set of Four Books and Five Classics in Liu Xin's hand with some surprise, and then put it on the coffee table on the side, and said: "Little Lao'er has seen the prince, the prince, you can come to the birthday banquet in the next place, it is really flattering to be in the lower world, but then again, isn't your teacher the old man Zhou Gong, and this set of four books and five classics was not compiled after Zhou Gong?" ”

Of course, Zhou Gong was written hundreds of years earlier than the Four Books and Five Classics, so Yang Ci had such a question, thinking that the marked set of Four Books and Five Classics in Liu Xin's hand would be prepared by others for Liu Xin.

Liu Xin had long known that Yang Ci would ask this, so Liu Xin shook his head with a smile and said: "This is what Mr. Yang doesn't know, the ancestors of this king left with many classic books before leaving the Han Dynasty, and it has always been the enlightenment reading of this king's clan, and it is still passed down from generation to generation, this king's father is the first teacher of this king, and these four books and five classics, each of us will mark and annotate according to our own understanding, so as to remind ourselves not to forget the original." So now this king has heard that Mr. Yang is a well-deserved bearer among the scribes of the Han Dynasty today, so he also wants to ask Mr. Yang to give him some pointers. ”

After listening to Liu Xin's explanation, Yang Ci nodded with interest, Liu Xin's own annotation of the Four Books and Five Classics is indeed a bit interesting, and it can be regarded as a good opportunity for himself and Liu Xin to draw the distance, after all, Liu Xin gave himself a "big gift" yesterday, and now it is time to return the gift.

And Yang Ci thought that he had guessed Liu Xin's thoughts, after all, there were many people who had been looking for Yang Ci's "guidance" over the years, such as the unenterprising sister-in-law of the Yuan family, who wanted to use a set of "Analects" marked by others to find his own advice, in a vain attempt to soar into the sky with the help of his own "advice", but Yang Ci saw through it at a glance, this could not be the annotation that the unenterprising Yuan family's sister-in-law could write, and the Yuan family's sister-in-law who was finally seen through the conspiracy could only leave in disgrace.

And now Liu Xin directly sent a set of four books and five classics, which made Yang Ci a little surprised, after all, if you want to mark a classic book well, you must spend a lot of effort and energy, and now Liu Xin directly took a set of four books and five classics, which made Yang Ci have to suspect that Liu Xin is either shoddy, or just like the unenterprising Yuan family's sister-in-law, I don't know who to find to be the ghostwriter to write such a set of four books and five classics.

As the leader of the scribe power, Yang Ci naturally can't repay Liu Xin's kindness before, so he has no position and cheekily praises Liu Xin, after all, if Yang Ci does this, then Yang Ci and Liu Xin will be both prosperous and lossy, and if Liu Xin is seen through by others, then he will also be implicated in the person who "stands on the platform" for Liu Xin, and then he can only fall into the name of "knowing people who don't know people" and "having no position", all in all, Yang Ci has made up his mind to pay attention, I won't casually say good things for Liu Xin, unless this set of Four Books and Five Classics is really well annotated.

Liu Xin saw where Yang Ci looked like a "contemplative", and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, this Yang Ci was doubting the "quality" and authenticity of his set of four books and five classics, so Liu Xin said to Yang Ci very simply: "Mr. Yang, please take a look at this set of four books and five classics annotated by this king, I believe you will not be disappointed, Mr. Yang." ”

Yang Ci was interrupted by Liu Xin, so he nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, well, then Xiao Lao'er will take a look at your masterpiece first, but Xiao Lao'er has a sentence that must be made clear to the prince first, Xiao Lao'er thinks that he has been reading for decades, and he has seen thousands of annotations on the Four Books and Five Classics, so Xiao Lao'er's vision is very picky, and it can even be said to be very high. Then don't blame the little old man, I have no eyes. ”

Liu Xin smiled, nodded and said: "This king understands that Mr. Yang is a person who loves books, and it is impossible to evaluate this set of four books and five classics annotated by this king with a clear conscience, so this king will rest assured that Mr. Yang will evaluate this set of four books and five classics annotated by this king, and also ask Mr. Yang to say what is bad about this set of four books and five classics annotated by the king, and also ask Mr. Yang to point it out, so that this king can realize his own shortcomings, and this king can make progress in the future." ”

Liu Xin's words won Yang Ci's heart, after all, Yang Ci was also worried that Liu Xin would be unreasonable and let himself give this set of four books and five classics a good review, and then Yang Ci would really be embarrassed to step down, and he might even offend Liu Xin because of this, which was a result that Yang Ci didn't want to see.

Now that Liu Xin is so "reasonable", Yang Ci can be regarded as a lot of relieved, so he picked up a book casually with a smile and began to read it.

After all, this set of four books and five classics is a "masterpiece" specially annotated by himself and Su Jia, which can be said to be a fusion of the strengths of a hundred schools, and it is also a set of epoch-making works compiled from the annotations of various four books and five classics in China for thousands of years.

So Yang Ci just turned two pages, and when he wanted to sigh that the paper that Liu Xin used to make books was very good, he was attracted by the content of this set of Four Books and Five Classics, or looked at this set of Four Books and Five Classics with a surprised face, because most of the annotations in this set of Four Books and Five Classics are content that Yang Ci has never seen, and the level of these annotations is extremely high, and most of the annotations are the kind of words that can make people instantly understand the meaning of this sentence, which makes Yang Ci very shocked, after all, Yang Ci asked himself, even if you let yourself annotate the same sentence, I'm afraid the effect of the annotation will not be better than the effect of Liu Xin's set of Four Books and Five Classics.

After Yang Ci finished flipping through the book in his hand at a very fast speed, he couldn't help sighing, and then said to Liu Xin with a smile: "Lord Wang, the set of four books and five classics you annotated is really good, Xiao Lao'er has not seen such a perfect commentary for so many years, it can be said that it can be said in a word, even a child who has just enlightened can read and understand, as for a well-read scribe like Xiao Lao'er, he can also gain new understanding from the prince's commentary, so I have to say, Lord Wang, the set of four books and five classics you annotated can already be described as a model work, and there is no one in the Han Dynasty who can compare with the commentary on this set of four books and five classics. ”

Yang Biao, who was accompanying him on the side, was shocked when he saw his father praising Liu Xin's annotated set of four books and five classics so much, after all, although there is a good saying, there is no first in the text, but there is also a sentence called literati are light, if you want a scribe to admit that his skills are not as good as others, then you have to have that kind of crushing strength, and Yang Biao also knows that his father's arrogance in literature is impossible to say such things casually, unless Liu Xin's annotated set of four books and five classics has reached the peak level!

Therefore, Yang Biao also looked at the set of Four Books and Five Classics beside his father with hot eyes, after all, his father said so, Yang Biao still believed in his father's vision very much, so as a reader, Yang Biao naturally wanted to see what was written in this set of Four Books and Five Classics annotated by Liu Xin.

Yang Ci saw the appearance of his son, as a father, Yang Ci naturally knew what Yang Biao was thinking, so Yang Ci handed the book in his hand to Yang Biao, couldn't help sighing, and said a little lonely: "Biao'er, you just take a good look at the Four Books and Five Classics annotated by the prince, I believe you will also be amazed by it, and you will learn a lot of things." ”

Yang Biao nodded hurriedly, and then couldn't wait to start reading.

And Liu Xin looked at Yang Ci with a smile on his face, and said: "Mr. Yang can comment on this set of four books and five classics annotated by this king, which can be said to be flattering to this king, but then again, the reason why this king will annotate this set of four books and five classics is because he wants to communicate with everyone in the Han scribe forces, after all, among the four major forces of the Han Dynasty, the scribe forces can stay out of the matter and really think about the Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Xin's words made Yang Ci nod his head, as Liu Xin said, the current four major forces of the Han Dynasty, except for the scribe force because they have always maintained neutrality, the other three major forces are fighting each other for their own interests.

As for the big man? It has long been used as a platform for struggle by these forces, and they don't care about the life or death of the big man.

Therefore, Yang Ci was also heartbroken by this, and realized that today's Han has entered a moment of life and death!

Thinking of this, Yang Ci could only shake his head helplessly, and said: "Eh, Lord Wang, you are right, the situation of the Han Dynasty is not optimistic, and it can even be said that it has reached a moment of life and death, internal and external troubles have made the Han face all kinds of contradictions, and the three major forces are still attacking each other for their own interests, and they are not in the same breath at all, and they are thinking about the future of the Han together, which is really sad,"

Liu Xin nodded, as a medical student who had studied psychology on his own, Liu Xin's ability to observe words and emotions was very good, so Liu Xin knew that Yang Ci was not lying.

Although from Liu Xin's personal standpoint, Liu Xin felt that they were a little stupid and loyal to Han loyal ministers like Yang Ci and Wang Yun, but I have to admit that Liu Xin admired such people very much, and it was precisely because of the existence of these Han loyal ministers that the Han Dynasty did not perish in Dong Zhuo's rebellion, but waited for decades for Emperor Han Xian to give way to Cao Pi decently.

No matter what, the difference between the two treatments of the king of the dead country and the abdication of the virtuous is very big, at least let the Han save the last face.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help sighing, and then said seriously to Yang Ci: "Mr. Yang, although this king has just returned to Dahan and has just arrived in Luoyang, this king has also heard a news from a few friends, that is, the head of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes is now frequently transferring the official positions in Luoyang City, and Zhang Rang in the eunuch power is also taking the opportunity to make trouble. Second, I want to ask Mr. Yang, can you tell this king, is this matter serious? ”

Although Liu Xin didn't say anything directly, Yang Ci had already made up the question that Liu Xin wanted to ask, and at this time, Yang Ci, who was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, had already regarded Liu Xin as his own, so Yang Ci nodded helplessly, and said to Liu Xin honestly: "Lord Wang, your news is really well-informed, so let the little old man tell the truth, now Yuan Feng is indeed making various transfers to the officials in Luoyang City, and has selected many local scholars to be officials in Luoyang City. Although this seems to be to improve the administrative efficiency in Luoyang City, in fact, it is Yuan Feng's guy who wants to start a war against the eunuch forces, and Yuan Feng's guy has also told Xiao Lao'er that I have chosen to support the family forces! ”

After Yang Ci finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xin thoughtfully.

After Liu Xin listened to Yang Ci's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands helplessly, and said: "Hehe, Mr. Yang, do you see that the current king seems to be the kind of person who has reached a cooperation with Yuan Feng, and this king has not seen Yuan Feng yet, but two days ago, the Yuan family sent someone to send a congratulatory gift to Zaixia, just to want to make friends with this king, and then want to reach a cooperation with this king, and then the specific cooperation content has not yet begun to talk, it seems that Yuan Feng is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, By virtue of this reason, it is said that the king has agreed to stand on the side of the family forces, if nothing else, the time when Yuan Feng is ready to do it is after the king leaves Luoyang and returns to the end. ”

Liu Xin broke Yuan Feng's plan in a few words, which made Yang Ci sigh, and then nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing to Liu Xin's statement.

Seeing this, Liu Xin can be regarded as figuring out what Yuan Feng wants to do, but the problem now is very simple, that is, how to prevent Yuan Feng from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Liu Xin looked at Yang Ci, and also pretended to sigh, and then said to Yang Ci with certainty: "Mr. Yang, this king will tell you directly, this king has already calculated a hexagram, if Yuan Feng's guy really declares war on the eunuch forces, then my Han will definitely die in less than two years!" ”
