The scholars of this era were very particular about etiquette, and the seating of the meeting was also one of the rituals, so there should be no confusion. The place of the banquet is in a Xuanzhong, in the middle of the north is Cao Cao's main seat, that no one can grab it, the left and right columns have been placed in several cases, laid out the seats, but there is no nameplate, you have to judge the seat by yourself.

Chen Lin pulled Shixun and asked him to sit down, but Shixun hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I dare to be on top?" "Sit up and close to Cao Cao, I am happy to do this, but today's gathering of literary scholars, I am afraid that the seat is too high and too eye-catching compared to literary affairs, and if the poetry and writing are not good later, how embarrassing it will be."

But not only Chen Lin put him in the upper seat, but Wang Cang, Ruan Yu and others also came to invite him. Wang Cang said: "Today, the officials of the Sikong Mansion gathered, and Hongfu was a long history, and he was the seat. ”

If you want to talk about the ranking in the Sikong Mansion, you naturally respect the long history, that is the secretary general, and the big housekeeper. It's just that Xun Xin said that the long history was worth a lot in the past, but now it may not be, Cao Cao set up the post of military strategy and sacrificial wine, just like the military advisor said in later generations, the status is properly higher than the long history. For example, the chief of the military strategy sacrificial wine is Guo Jia, although he has not attended the meeting today, but if you really talk about it, can you go past Guo Jia in this long history? Today's Chief of the Sky Guard, however, is just a logistics minister - this is one of the reasons why Hoon doesn't plan to really care about this matter.

But since Wang Cang said so, he really can't push it, because among these people who came today, there is neither Guo Jia nor Xun You, and even if there are people with the name of a military conspiracy sacrificial wine on their heads (for example, Wang Cang), if you really want to talk about the status, there is indeed no one who can compare to him Hongfu. He had to find another reason. He said, "Meet today in writing." On taste? "It's not like it's a matter of time for a subordinate to hold a meeting because of business. It's just a matter of appreciating spring and drinking papers, so there's no need to talk about status - in other words, it's vulgar in terms of status, and it's not what we cultural people should do.

Handan Chun next to him also came over to help: "That is, the name of the paper, is Jun Yi the leader for a while, Jun is not on top, and we dare to be on top?" "It's Xunxin who said that this is what I'm afraid of, and the literary name is too sheng. But it's not really talented, and if you climb too high, if you show your stuffing, this will fall the heaviest. Originally, I just wanted to use poetry as a stepping stone, but I didn't expect to get off the thief ship of this cultural person, which was not my original intention.

He also noticed that these people complimented themselves together, each with their own meaning. Chen Lin and Ruan Yu are obviously patting their own ass; Wang Zhongxuan's friendship is sincere; As for Uncle Handan, he asked the court to issue an edict. He begged for it from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and he was just in time to establish the Anshi Jing. To be able to show his calligraphy talents, it is with gratitude and reciprocation, so he pushes himself up.

Shi Xun continued to excuse himself and said: "There is no first in ancient literature, who dares to call the leader?" It should also be ordered by the year. "Anyway, I'm still young, so I'm definitely going down.

Everyone was just Xun, and what he said was indeed reasonable, so he ordered the age. Handan Chun is the oldest, and the old gentleman is in his sixties, and he sits in the first place properly; followed by Wei Qi, forty-six years old; Further down Gou Wei, Chen Lin, Ying Ling, Ruan Yu and so on. Shi Xun is ranked third from the bottom, Yang Xiu is two years younger than him, and Wang Cang is four years younger than him.

It was Xun Xin who said that in fact, I should be the second-to-last, and my real age may be a few months younger than Yang Dezu - but he has never understood what month and day Ah Fei was born.

Everyone was seated, and Cao Cao came out of the back hall - he was the elder, so he naturally had to be the last to sit down. Everyone stood up and saluted, calling them "lord", and saw Cao Cao followed by two young people, one Cao Ang Cao Zixiu, and the other Cao Zheng Cao Anmin. Recently, Cao Cao Lao took these two children with him, so there was no other meaning, it must be to determine the status of Cao Ang's heir.

It was Xun Xin who said that this is the future emperor of Great Wei, and the king side by side...... Poor Zihuan, it is estimated that there will be no accident, you will never have anything to do with that throne again, and you will definitely be like your brothers in the original history, imprisoned in the fiefdom, and raised like a pig until death. After all, Cao Ang is much more generous than Cao Pi, and "the country's unfortunate poet is lucky", maybe Cao Pi has made great progress in poetry and literature because of this, and his future achievements are not under Cao Zhi?

You think, in history, if Cao Zhi won the battle for the storage position, and really became the king of Wei and the emperor of Wei, then there would definitely be no "White Horse Chapter" that has been passed down through the ages.

Cao Cao sat down on the right seat, and a son and a nephew sat on the left and right. After a few words of greeting and chatting, a servant brought all the food and wine. It was best for Xun Zheng to talk so much in his heart, but unexpectedly, the young and vigorous Wang Zhongxuan spoke: "Spring is bright, all the gentlemen gather, when this grand event, there is no poetry?" Please also ask the lord to write the question. ”

Shi Xun couldn't wait to kick Wang Cang hard, but unfortunately there was a seat between the two, so they sat diagonally opposite each other, and they couldn't kick at all. I heard Cao Cao laugh and said: "A certain is exactly what he wants." You can beat the drum and pass the word, and compose poems to help the fun. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other a little. The so-called drumming is a kind of popular wine order in these years, that is, a glass of wine is poured and passed down in order, one person carries the drums on the back of everyone, if the drum stops, the wine glass falls into the hands of whoever has to drink it, and then write a poem. If one of them spills wine, it is a disorderly order, and he must also drink alcohol and write poems. Now everyone's seats are not far apart, and if you stretch out your hand slightly, you can pass the cup, and it's not a big problem, but—

This is not a round table, the big guys are sitting in two columns, so the last two are not allowed to leave the table and run, one to send and the other to pick up? That's a loss. Besides, there is a Cao Cao at the top, and Cao Cao can't be allowed to run too, and the first two have to leave the table to hand Cao Cao wine, or go to pick up a cup, how can this be fun?

Cao Cao understood the meaning of everyone, and immediately twisted his beard and laughed: "I have my own proposition - the past is a play, although there are good works, but you must not drink bitterly, now the Central Plains is rough, the treasury is also full, there are countless official wines, and the gentlemen can be large." I mean that one person beats the drum, and one person takes turns pouring wine, and the wine must be exhausted, and those who can't do it will be the same as the chaotic order. ”

You don't have to pass glasses, you don't have to leave the table, I'll find someone to pour the wine in order. And you don't have to stop drinking before you can drink, you have to drink when you can drink it, so that you can have fun.

When Xun heard this, he hurriedly bowed: "Xun is willing to beat the drum for the kings." Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pointed at him, which means: Don't want to escape! Then look left and right: "Zixiu beats the drum, and the people are poured." ”

Did Xun Xin say that you meant that, so you brought those two boys here? Pray secretly, don't be the first to fall on your head, let yourself drink a few more glasses first, cover your shameful face, and then copy poems...... Best, I'm the last one, and by the time I copy the poems, most of them are already drunk......

So he brought a large barrel of hot wine, carried by the servants, and Cao Zheng held the spoon, ready to pour the wine. Over there, Cao Ang tied his sleeves with a belt, held a small drum, and sat at the door of the Xuan, with his back to everyone. Cao Zheng asked: "Who does it start?" ”

Cao Cao said that the order is either from the master or from the guest, and we should start from the last position, so he pointed to Wang Cang. Immediately the order was given, and the drum sounded.

Cao Zheng scooped a full spoonful of hot wine and handed it to Wang Cang, Wang Cang hurriedly bowed, held his ears with both hands, and waited for Cao Zheng to slowly pour it full. Immediately, Wang Zhongxuan picked up the wine and drank it, and then squirted out with a "poof" sound......

Cao Cao ordered to stop the drums - "Zhong Xuan Chaos Order!" Wang Cang said with a bitter face: "It's too hot......" Cao Cao said that it doesn't matter, spilling wine is a chaotic order, not to mention that you also squirted out-"Okay, I'll listen to Zhongxuan's good structure later." ”

Wang Cang asked, what is the topic? Cao Cao said that it will be a theme of spring feelings, and the drum will stop to chant poetry, and it will not be a long test (it is Xun Xin who said that this is my weakness), so let's lower the difficulty, limit and relax a little, the topic is broad, and the format is not limited.

Wang Cang nodded, simply took three sips, drank the residual wine in the swoop, and then waved at the crowd, and said in a man's voice:

"Gao will be in the gentleman's hall, and sit in the shade of Huayu. The food is full of square and the purpose is to make the wine rich. The orchestra pronounces the emblem sound, and the curvature is clear and sad. Sit together and enjoy it, but the cup is late. I often hear the words of poets, not drunk and homeless. Today is not very happy, who is treated with lust. Seeing that the good is not winged, how can it be disobeyed. The ancients had their last words, and the gentleman was blessed. May my virtuous master enjoy the majesty with the sky. Kefu Zhou's public industry is untraceable. ”

When everyone heard this, they all applauded and admired. It's Xun Xin who said, "May I be a virtuous master, and enjoy the majesty with the sky", and "Kefu Zhou's public industry, the world can't be chased", Wang Zhongxuan, you shoot a good fart! However, I also have a few lines in my bag of sycophants, so I can find a suitable one to paste on some other poem - well, which one is better to copy today?

was groaning, the drums were beating again, Cao Zheng poured the wine in order, and the big guys had the experience of Wang Cang's past, so they all blew first and then drank in small sips, preferring to slow down rather than spew. It was so good that Wei Qi stopped, and Wei Boru also wrote a poem. But he didn't have Wang Cang's urgency, he only had six sentences, and his words were only mediocre.

It's Xunxin who said it, and there is Lao Wei Zhuyu...... No, with the bricks in front, I'm not afraid of losing face.

The third round to write poems was Cao Cao, and everyone paid attention to Cao Cao. Seeing that the expression on Cao Cao's face suddenly became very solemn, he pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Today should be happy, but I miss my old friend." Although the spring is beautiful, it can't be embraced, and the past is melancholy, but I want to express it. Thinking of a few sentences, the style is gloomy, don't blame you. ”

He said so in his mouth, but who dares to blame Cao Cao. Wei Qidang said: "The title is both nostalgic for spring, but if you feel something, you can put it into the poem, it doesn't hurt." ”

Cao Cao said yes, so he chanted: "Virtue is not lacking, and it is difficult to change." Zheng Kangcheng was drunk, and he was out of breath; Guo Jingtu's life is all in the garden. ”

It's Xun Xin who said badly, Boss Cao, why don't you feel good, you actually think about the dead! You are the lord, you must have a gloomy tone, who will dare to be happy in the future? But it's just not happy, all I have prepared are some light-hearted works, how dare I dig out!

Besides, Guo Jingtu is your old friend and has nothing to do with me, but why did you mention Zheng Kangcheng again. I am a disciple of Zhengmen, you lamented that my teacher died without a problem, and I followed me with "How beautiful spring is, how beautiful life is", is that a saying? I must follow your words and mourn the teacher! I'm completely unprepared for this, what should I do?!

Boss, are you really doing it on purpose? Could it be that the stuffing is actually today! (To be continued......)
