Just when the officials were writing poems for fun, a county guard came to Ao Lie with a wine glass in his hand and said: "Jiuwen Zhou Mu has two sons of dragon and tiger, and the second son Ao Lie is both civil and military. ”

Gongsun Zhan attached himself to Ao Lie's ear and said softly: "This person is Cui Yan and Cui Jiqi, the Taishou of Zhuo County, who was originally from Qingzhou, and avoided trouble in Youzhou because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. "Cui Yan? Another celebrity of the Three Kingdoms! In history, Cui Yan was a minister under Cao Cao, a capable minister specializing in internal affairs, and his face was handsome and delicate, which was deeply loved by Cao Cao. After Cao Cao became the king of Wei, when he received the Xiongnu envoys, he asked Cui Yan to sit on the throne instead of him, but Cao Cao himself stood behind Cui Yan with a knife as an attendant.

Looking at Cui Yan, Ao Lie found that he himself was indeed the same as described in the history books, with sparse eyebrows, a beard four feet long, and a high voice, and he was indeed a beautiful man. Raising the wine glass filled with white water in his hand, Ao Lie stood up and said to Cui Yan: "It turned out to be Brother Ji Jue, who has been admired for a long time, Lie is still young and is not used to drinking, so he replaces wine with tea and toasts Brother Ji Jue with a glass." According to the practice of the Eastern Han Dynasty, twelve years is a round, and people within a round intersect, if there is no blood relatives or friendship, they can be called brothers, in order to show respect, and then add the word in front of the brothers, so Ao Lie called Cui Yan Brother Ji Qi.

Cui Yan smiled and raised his wine glass and drank with Ao Lie. Then he said: "Please also ask General Weiyuan to make another good work, Yan Wash your ears and listen." Hearing Cui Yan's words, all the officials in the hall shifted their eyes to Ao Lie's body, waiting for Ao Lie's masterpiece. After all, rumors are false, seeing is believing, although Ao Lie's name of both civil and military is heard by everyone, but after all, no one has seen Ao Lie compose poems with their own eyes, right? You can't fake things on the battlefield, but there are too many writers who write poems and catch knives.

Ao Lie groaned slightly, and then said with a smile: "Today, a certain and his family teacher boarded the Youzhou platform, and I felt quite emotional. In the past, Jiang Taigong was appointed by two generations of monarchs of the Zhou family and achieved great achievements; King Yan Zhao courteously treated Le Yi and made him break the seventy-two cities of Qi in a row, and became famous through the ages; Yan Prince Dan knew that Jing Ke had met Jing Ke, and Jing Keshi died as a confidant, and he assassinated the King of Qin. On the other hand, my Han Dynasty, now my relatives and eunuchs are fighting endlessly, and the border barbarians have invaded for many years, which is really the autumn of life and death for the Han Dynasty. However, those who are in a high hall, do not think about Kuang Fu Sheji to thank the emperor, and do not think about political clarity to calm the people, so that many people with lofty ideals who have a gully in their chests and have a good economy in their abdomen have no way to serve the country, and Lie is very sad in his heart. ”

Everyone in the hall listened to Ao Lie's emotion, and they all felt the same way, and they were embarrassed for a while, and there were even more loyal people who served the country, and they couldn't help beating their chests and feet, and burst into tears. Ao Lie secretly observed Cui Yan's expression, and sure enough, he saw a trace of sadness flashing on Cui Yan's face. The words he said before were not only emotional, but more importantly, Ao Lie wanted to use these words to dig into Cao Cao's corner! The target who was dug up was naturally Cui Yan, an internal minister. Ao Lie knew that Cui Yan always had the intention of being loyal to the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not have prevented Cao Cao from becoming emperor as he did in history, and finally ended up with a tragic death in prison. Now, because of his arrival, the trajectory of history has also been deflected, and he saw Cui Yan first, so naturally there is no reason to give up easily, not to mention, Cui Yan is still serving under his father. I'm completely close to the water, and I got the moon first. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't let Cui Yan join your command, you must leave a good impression on the other party who is loyal to the monarch and defend the country, at least, you can avoid Cui Yan from throwing herself to Cao Cao.

After a moment of silence, Ao Lie said in a deep voice: "I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people after, I read the world and the world, and I was alone and wept." ”

Listening to Ao Lie's whispering, the civilian officials present were all touched, some bowed their heads in contemplation, and some shook their heads to savor. Even those generals who were born in martial arts and did not understand literature and ink understood Ao Lie's simple and ingenious song.

After a moment of silence, someone took the lead in shouting: "Seconds!" Wonderful! Then, a shout of admiration rang out in the hall and in the courtyard at the same time. The hundreds of officials present were full of praise for Ao Lie's "Youzhou Taiwan Song".

Cui Yan was also shocked at the moment. You must know that Cui Yan is not only an internal minister, but also a celebrity, the so-called celebrity, that is, there are poems and songs that have been passed down in the world, so they can be called celebrities. In Cui Yan's eyes, Ao Lie's Youzhou Taiwan song is neither asymmetrical nor rhyming in its sentences, but the kind of artistic conception contained in the seemingly ordinary words is fascinating. The deeper I think about it, the more memorable it becomes.

After a while, putting away the shock in his heart, Cui Yan bent down and saluted Ao Lie: "Yan has heard General Weiyuan's masterpiece today, it is an eye-opener, admire!" Admire! "It stands to reason that Cui Yan is the Taishou of Zhuojun, Ao Lie is the general of Weiyuan, Taishou is the official position of the fourth product in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the general of Ao Lie's Weiyuan is the official position of the sixth product, although the two are in two different systems of the local and the army, but Cui Yan's official position is still higher than that of Ao Lie. There is no reason to bow down to Ao Lie at all, but Cui Yan just did that, which also shows that Cui Yan is a broad-minded person, and when he sees that he is more knowledgeable than himself, he can bend down and salute the other party regardless of his official position.

Cui Yan can do this, but Ao Lie can't handle it calmly. First, Ao Lie is younger than Cui Yan; second, Cui Yan's official position is higher than his own; The most important thing is that Ao Lie has the idea of accepting Cui Yan for his own use, so it is possible to leave a proud and arrogant image on the other party? So, Ao Lie hurriedly took two steps forward, bent down and returned the salute to Cui Yan, and said, "Brother Ji Qi is very tormented. ”

Cui Yan straightened up, looked at Ao Lie, stroked his beard and said: "There is only one stone in the world, and General Weiyuan has eight buckets alone!" Ao Lie was stunned when he heard this, isn't this what people later praised Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi? How did Cui Yan use it on himself? Gongsun Zhan on the side stood up with a smile, walked up to the two of them, and said loudly: "General Weiyuan can indeed be called a talented person, and he admires it." The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time, a sense of sympathy for each other.

The banquet continued, and the local Taishou, Xiang, and county commanders reported to Liu Yu one by one the situation in Youzhou in the past year, and Liu Yu listened carefully to everyone's story, and from time to time put forward targeted opinions, or issued some orders. It lasted for two full hours before the officials in various places completed the process of reporting on their work, and Liu Yu also had a general direction for the governance of various parts of Youzhou.

After that, Liu Yu raised his glass and said to hundreds of officials: "Colleagues, I can't toast you one by one, so I will ask for a bargain here, and I will toast everyone with a drink!" "Because Liu Yu has been guarding the border for many years, he is not used to calling himself a master or a lord, but has always called himself a general. It is understandable to claim himself like this, and Liu Yu himself also serves as the general of Suibian.

Everyone raised their glasses and congratulated: "Congratulations to the state pastor for his health——"

When everyone finished drinking together, Liu Yu put down the wine glass and said: "After a while, let my son Ao Lie Daiben toast to you one by one, I hope you will come and return happy!" Everyone smiled and sat down.

Ao Lie hurriedly walked to the middle of the hall, clasped his fists on all sides and saluted: "Lie is still young, and he can't drink alcohol, so he will replace wine with tea and toast to all adults." After speaking, he picked up his wine glass, poured a glass of white water, and walked towards Master Wang Ao first. Ao Lie's actions caused another round of praise -

"That old man is General Ao's master, Wang Ao Laozu, right? Unexpectedly, General Ao is not only both civil and military, but also respects his teacher so much! ”

"The young man is ambitious, but he is not arrogant or impatient, he knows etiquette, respects the teacher, it is rare, it is rare!"

"Sure enough, it's a tiger father without a dog, Liu Youzhou has a son like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

"Giving birth to a son should be like Ao Weiyuan!"

Looking at Ao Lie's actions, Cui Yan's eyes lit up with a brilliance, and he secretly thought to himself: Ao Weiyuan is different, but unfortunately he is still young, I am observing him for a few years, if I still have such a demeanor when I am an adult, I am expected to prosper.

A group of officials directly under Liu Yu were also whispering, Shi Jian looked at Yan Rou and said: "Zhongxing, I'm right, Ao Weiyuan is a person who values love and righteousness, and my vision can't be wrong." Yan Rou glanced at Shi Lian and said lightly: "General Ao spared your life, it is General Ao's generosity, and it has nothing to do with your vision." Tian Kai came over and said: "I thought that although General Ao was young, he would definitely achieve great things in the future. Qi Zhou, Xian Yu brothers and others on the side also nodded frequently in agreement. Yan Rou glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "It seems that you recognize the state pastor?" Shi Jian was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you Zhongxing thinking this way?" Before Yan Rou could speak, Tian Kai next to him said: "Zhong Xing has long recognized the state pastor in his heart, otherwise, how could he claim to be a subordinate?" It's just that Gong Liu, you didn't see it. When Shi Jian heard this, he turned his head to look at Yan Rou, who was smiling and silent, and suddenly realized: "You Yan Zhongxing, it's so hard for me to hide it!" ”

Not to mention that Yan Rou Shi Jian and the others were talking in a whisper, at this moment Ao Lie had finished toasting Wang Ao, he poured a glass of white water again, turned around and walked in front of Gongsun Zhan, and toasted Gongsun Zhan. After that, they saluted one by one, and in the meantime, it was naturally indispensable for the praise of Ao Lie from a group of officials, and Ao Lie was smiling and humbly in return. In his gestures, he actually began to take on a bit of the demeanor of a monarch. made Cui Yan, who had been secretly observing Ao Lie, feel a little more emotional.

After the banquet, Ao Lie arranged for hundreds of officials to prepare a room for rest, because there were too many officials who came, it was impossible for so many people to live in the state governor's mansion, so only a few people such as Gongsun Zhan and Cui Yan stayed in the state governor's mansion, and the officials with poor status were arranged by Ao Lie to live in the inn in Jijun City, which caused all the inns in the city to be full for a while. Ao Lie specially instructed to arrange the inn fields, and all the expenses should be recorded in the private account of the governor's house, and the money from the government treasury should not be used. This time, it has won praise from many people. Fortunately, now that Shuang'er is making golden silk leaves, it has begun to take shape, and the market is also very good. Ao Lie's grandfather, Ao Laozhang, even took several carts of golden silk leaves to sell to Jiangdong, and I heard that the income was also very objective. In that rich place in Jiangdong, the golden silk leaf was sold for the same amount of gold. It is precisely because of the income brought by the golden silk leaf that Ao Lie has the capital to record the food and accommodation expenses of all officials in his own account.

At night, Cui Yan knelt in a guest room in the governor's mansion, reading a book with a candle. A slight knock on the door interrupted Cui Yan's Yaxing. Cui Yan walked to the door, and after opening the door, he saw Ao Lie standing alone outside the door.
