Forty-five cross-border rising star Yuan Benchu
The Yuedan review originated from Yuan's hometown of Runan, and was presided over by Xu Shao and Xu Jing, the two brothers of the local clan, Xu.
Once a month, the world's celebrities are evaluated, and the scholars who are commented on have all doubled their value and become famous all over the world, so the world's scholars are eager to do so.
In his early years, Cao Cao relied on Xu Shao's comments to gain fame, and Yuan Shao once dared not show off in his hometown because he was afraid of Xu Shao's bad comments.
What kind of fame and energy do the two Xu Shao brothers who stand on the high platform of comments, Yuan Shao has seen.
Liu Bei's idea was nothing more than to let Yuan Shao learn from the Xu brothers and engage in an activity similar to the Yuedan Review in his mansion.
In this regard, Yuan Shao was quite worried.
"What a reputation the Xu brothers have, how can I compare it to it? If you comment rashly, wouldn't you be laughing and generous? β
Liu Bei laughed.
"The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and the prestige is so high, how can the Xu family be compared? Besides, who said that we were going to do a Yuedan review, we just invited three or five friends to hold a banquet in the Yuan Gong's mansion, a banquet between friends.
During the banquet, there was an occasional controversy because of some academic disputes, and the two sides insisted on each other's words, and finally divided the winner, Yuan Gong appreciated the winner, rewarded the winner, and then accidentally, the news spread to the outside world and became known to outsiders.
So one passed ten, ten spread hundreds, more and more scholars knew, more and more people were interested, more and more people asked Yuan Gong's friends for news, and Yuan Gong's friends couldn't stand everyone's enthusiasm, so they could only introduce them on their behalf.
So there were more people at the second banquet, more for the third time, for the fourth, fifth, and sixth times, and so it gradually became a common practice, and gradually became a matter of course for the scholars of Luoyang, and every time a similar banquet was held, it could attract the attention of the scholars, and that's it. β
Liu Bei spread his hands and looked innocent: "Who said that we are Yuedan Commentary?" We're just studying academics on our own behind closed doors, and outsiders know about it and want to participate, so what does it have to do with me? β
Everyone was stunned.
Yuan Shao took the lead in laughing, Cao Cao and Xu You also laughed, and everyone laughed in the end.
Liu Bei also smiled, and he smiled very happily.
In the final analysis, the Yuedan review is essentially a game of fancy sedan chair people carrying people, some people are willing to be touted, some people are willing to be touted, some people are willing to be touted, some people are willing to hold stinky feet, nothing more.
His Xu brothers can play, but Yuan can't play?
What's up? Do they have patents? Or did the Eastern Han Empire have patent protection laws?
Yuan Shao was eager to enhance his reputation and increase his prestige in the hearts of the scholars, so he quickly invited the scholars familiar with the modern literary school to attend a banquet in his mansion with his own appeal.
And Liu Bei also mobilized his personal connections and invited some scholars of the ancient literature school that he was familiar with.
At first, Liu Bei did not invite the children of the big clan, such as Ma Yong and Han Ju, because they had some family baggage.
Similarly, Yuan Shao didn't invite any friends who were too high-ranking at first, but only invited some children from small families among the scholars who were close to him.
The two sides drank and ate at Yuan Shao's mansion, pushing cups and changing lamps, while Liu Bei was responsible for throwing out topics and arguments at the right time, causing controversy between the two sides about modern and ancient scriptures.
After a little bit of drinking, my temper naturally can't be controlled, and as soon as I hear something I don't like, I immediately want to express my opinion.
One person gave an opinion, two gave an opinion, and three people gave an opinion.
Then the banquet became a debate.
Liu Bei, as an expert in debate, naturally became the No. 1 debater respected by scholars of ancient scriptures.
Yuan Shao did not put forward his own views throughout the whole process, but as the master, he sat at the top and listened to the debate between the two sides, and when there was a result, he praised the demeanor of the winner, Liu Bei.
It is no exaggeration to say that unconsciously, Yuan Shao's final appearance of praising people is quite decisive and dominating everything.
After this banquet, Yuan Shao mobilized his own forces, or bribed the navy to inadvertently preach in the circle of scholars in Luoyang City, saying that they accidentally heard that Liu Bei, a master of debate and a poet of the Han Dynasty, was arguing with others in Yuan Shao's mansion again, and won a complete victory, and the other party was powerless.
So Liu Bei was praised by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also gave Liu Bei a pen he liked very much as a reward for winning.
Because of Liu Bei's reputation and Yuan Shao's status, this debate quickly attracted attention.
But because this is a private activity that is not public, many scholars can only ask people to inquire about the content of the debate and what Liu Bei has to say.
Naturally, the inquirers then invite those who are interested to come back to the next debate.
The next debate was held in Yuan Shao's mansion in the form of a banquet, and then Yuan Shao accepted the form of bringing the old with the new, and was very welcome to the friends of the friends brought by the friends.
Therefore, when the second debate meeting was held, it was still a private and closed to the public, but the pomp and circumstance was much greater than the first.
There are many people who come to watch Liu Bei's debate because of their admiration for Liu Bei's name, and whenever Liu Bei utters a golden sentence, they all applaud loudly - it is like watching Peking Opera.
In the end, it was Liu Bei who won.
Yuan Shao praised Liu Bei as the host, presented Liu Bei with a jar of wine in public, and praised Liu Bei as a [Famous Scholar in the North].
As a result, Liu Bei won the title of a fame bonus, and the debate meeting in Yuan Shao's mansion also increased its popularity.
The rest is a logical thing.
More and more people came to the banquet, and later more and more people participated in the debate, and Yuan Shao's mansion became a well-known place for the debate.
So, when the debate was just a debate, Yuan Shao sat on the top with a smile and didn't say a word.
And when the two sides are anxious and want to turn the cultural fight into a martial arts conference, Yuan Shao will immediately appear and use the prestige of the Yuan family to prevent the two sides from turning their faces.
During this period, many people with sharp words will anger each other because of their sharp words, causing controversy, such as Liu Bei often deliberately uses sharp words to stimulate the anger of the other party, and the two sides sometimes draw their swords against each other.
And every time at this time, Yuan Shao will come forward in time and use his identity and prestige to stop the other party from getting angry.
"Debate, not a martial arts competition, the mouth is used, not the sword, please look at Yuan's thin face, and turn the war into jade silk."
So the angry scholar will also calm down and sell Yuan Shao, the son of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, to save face.
As we all know, face is more and more expensive to sell, and in the end, the person who sells face becomes the person who has the ability to save face.
Unconsciously, the young scholars of the modern literature school and the young scholars of the ancient literature school who came to Yuan Shao's mansion to participate in the debate meeting accepted Yuan Shao's mediation, and would not continue to target each other after Yuan Shao's mediation.
And because of Yuan Shao's proper hospitality, they praised Yuan Shao for having the style of a gentleman of the Warring States Period, and the reincarnation of King Xinling.
After that, Yuan Shao met many young scholars of the ancient literature school under the recommendation of Liu Bei.
He didn't care about his identity, he had the demeanor of a broken corporal, drinking and chatting with them, happy and boundless, sometimes hugging and hugging, sometimes leading to singing, and sometimes dancing a magical dance in person, pushing the atmosphere to a peak.
Of course, the people who were entertained also reciprocated and praised Corporal Yuan Shao Lixian, with his graceful demeanor, beautiful singing, and sassy dancing.
Anyway, don't spend money on touting, blow hard, blow hard, blow blow.
As a result, Yuan Shao's fame continues to grow, and those who are praised by Yuan Shao at the debate conference will also be envied by everyone.
More and more people came to attend the banquet held by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao's fame gradually became louder among the young scholars of the two schools of modern literature and ancient literature, and he became a [cross-border new star].
