I asked Mr. Zhang to send a letter to my father, asking him to help Ji Shao think of a way, and telling him that this was what he meant.

As a result, his father quickly found Shantao.

In his early years, Shantao traveled with Ji Kang, Ruan Ji and others, and formed the famous "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". Shan Tao is the oldest in the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", and he is also the most gentle and kind. Compared with the wild and uninhibited alternative style of Ji Kang, Ruan Ji and others, he is the most normal one of the Seven Sages. Compared with their high and unclassified, he is the most vulgar one.

Because he did not swear allegiance to the old court like Ji Kang, so that he was executed by the new court in a fit of rage; Nor was he like Ruan Ji, who reluctantly accepted the official title of the new court, but got drunk every day, and then drove wildly across the field, "crying bitterly until he was at the end of the road". He not only accepted the letter of appointment from the new imperial court, but also became a bigger and bigger official. In fact, the reason why this is the case has a lot to do with the personality and temperament of each of them, and it is more inseparable from their background.

Ji Kang married Cao Cao's granddaughter, the county lord of Changle, and was Cao Wei's county master. The fall of Cao Wei is equivalent to the fall of his own family, and his entire world has been completely turned upside down with the fall of Cao Wei, how can he not hate the Sima clan? How could he turn to Sima's new court?

Shan Tao, on the other hand, is related to Sima Wang. The current emperor's grandmother, the late Empress Dowager Xuanmu, is the cousin of Shantao's father Shanyao, and in terms of generation, Shantao is still the cousin of the current emperor (although it is a little far away, but it is related to the royal family, so that it is even a spectrum, compared to Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang and Emperor Han Xian, there is a much more relationship between Uncle Pan and Uncle Pan of Han Xian). Shantao relied on this bit of kinship, which was still a spectrum, in the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family. The career has been smooth sailing, and it can be described as a smooth progress.

Although the political stance is different, it has not affected the friendship between Shantao and Ji Kangdi.**The update is the fastest. Shan Tao once gave him an official title when the emperor. deliberately gave up his official position to Ji Kang, saying that Ji Kang was more talented than himself. More able to serve the new court. Unexpectedly, Ji Kang not only did not appreciate it, but also wrote a famous "Book of Breaking Friendship with Shan Juyuan", which arrogantly called himself "not Tang Wu but Bo Zhou Kong, not only this matter in the world, will show that the world will not tolerate it". "Don't be rotten, raise mandarin ducks to kill mice", Lala said a lot of miscellaneous Chen, and finally showed that he "can't take away his ambition".

In layman's terms, the meaning of this letter of renunciation from the handsome guy Ji is that since I "married" to the Cao family and became Cao Wei's county master, I was born into the Cao family. Death is the ghost of the Cao family, and he will never go to the Sima family, which is damn short-lived. "Ambition is trusted, and it cannot be taken away"! The man who does the county horse. Of course, it must have the integrity of the gunma.

This letter of renunciation immediately caused a sensation throughout the Jin Kingdom, and many people predicted it bitterly. The letter gives the feeling. "If the jade mountain will collapse".

Sure enough, the emperor is furious, you have to show your integrity, right? Then I will fulfill you! Soon the edict was issued, and Ji Kang was hanged.

Ji Kang probably expected this to be the outcome, and he neither complained nor complained, but calmly walked to the gallows. When he was dying, his wife wept and asked him, "What will you do when you leave such a young child behind?" Ji Kang stroked the face of Ji Shao, who was still young, and said, "Don't be afraid, with Juyuan, you will not be lonely." ”

Juyuan is the Shantao who wrote a letter to break off friendship. He wrote that letter only to be shown to outsiders, to show his determination not to succumb to Sima's court, and in his heart, he was still regarded as Shantao's most trustworthy friend. So after dying, he still entrusted his only son to this friend where he wrote a letter of renunciation.

Shantao also lived up to his trust and regarded Ji Shao as his own. In Shantao's home, there is a room specially prepared for Ji Shao, and all the furnishings are no different from those of Shanjiadi. If Ji Shao doesn't go to Shantao's house for a while, Shantao will send someone to Ji Shao's house to pick him up. Since Shantao cherishes Ji Shao so much, when my father found him, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately said, "I've been thinking about this matter recently, I think this child is almost 20 years old, and it's time to become an official." He has no father, and the family has not made any income for all these years, and only relies on her mother's private savings to survive, and now the family is empty. Although I am very willing to help, but his mother is the temper of the county lord, even if the country is ruined, the golden branches and jade are still proud, and I refuse to accept a cent, so I have to leave Shao'er at home and let him grow up with me. Now that Taiwei is willing to inquire in person, and Tai is so enthusiastic, as an old friend of Ji Kangdi, I am naturally grateful. As he spoke, he knelt down with tears in his eyes, bowed to him in the air, and thanked my father again.

After the two of them discussed, Shan Tao finally drafted the table and recommended Ji Shao as the secretary.

After the emperor received the table, the next day in the court to the court, my father first stepped forward and said, "Ji Kang's matter has been a long time, and now the court is recruiting virtuous ministers, eclectic search for talents, this Ji Shao's character and learning, famous far and wide, even His Royal Highness saw him and greatly appreciated it." ”

The emperor was surprised and said, "Taiwei is saying that even the Tai Di Tai knows this Ji Shao?" ”

The father replied, "Back to the emperor, it's true." It was His Royal Highness who discovered this talent and wanted to be invited into the East Palace, so he asked the queen first. The queen disliked her mother as the lord of Cao Wei, and her father was Ji Kang, who was against the imperial court, and was afraid that Ji Shao would be too unfavorable in the East Palace, so she rejected it on the spot. was too helpless, only to find Weichen, and Weichen found Shangong again, so he had today's recommendation form. ”

This incident immediately caused a great discussion in the court. For Ji Kang's death, everyone in the sea lamented. When Ji Kang was taken into custody, more than 3,000 Tai students jointly wrote a letter, requesting that Ji Kang be his teacher, hoping that the imperial court would leave his life to teach Tai students. When Ji Kang's prisoner car was escorted to the noon gate, the students and some people along the street knelt down for a whole street, and the sound of wailing and pleading resounded in the sky, and some even kowtowed to the point of bleeding.

So when the courtiers heard that Ji Kang's son had grown up and now wanted to be an official in the new court, no one would not. For a while, there was a rare public voice in the court, and even the "Sanyang", who loved to sing against my father a little bit, rarely stood on my father's side.

Ji Kang, a talent admired by the four seas, a peerless beautiful man in Yushu Linfeng, how many people sighed when he died. Now, this love and pity are projected on his son.

In the court, for the first time, there was no discussion, no dispute, everyone agreed, and everyone was promoted, and in the end, even the emperor was moved, and said almost with tears in his eyes, "I also regret it very much after killing Ji Kang, if the sentence is delayed a little longer, it is likely that I will pardon him." But since I have killed all of them, I regret it again, and it is useless to say anything. In fact, as soon as I saw the recommendation table of Shangong today, I had already allowed him in my heart, but I was still afraid that everyone Aiqing would be taboo about Ji Kang's affairs back then. I can't imagine that our monarchs and ministers are all saddened by Ji Kang's death. Well, this matter has been agreed, and I will make Ji Shao the secretary. As for this edict, it will be drafted by the Taiwei, and if it is ready, I will seal it. ”

The father agreed, and said, "His Royal Highness admires Ji Shao's talent very much, and intends to extend him into the East Palace. ”

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Then give Ji Shao to serve in the East Palace again, and the official will be from the five grades." ”
