The young man's surname is You Mingheng, and since he was a child, he has shown outstanding literary and eloquent talents, has read a wide range of books, has the ability to remember, and his essays are also wonderful.

However, You Heng's character is impatient, arrogant, and grotesque, and when criticizing current affairs and commenting on the world, he often does not care about the occasion and speaks casually, so he offends many people and is often isolated by the same county scholars.

So that other scholars gradually became famous, or were recommended by officials, or praised by Confucianism, but You Heng was stigmatized and overshadowed his reputation, and even the clansmen refused to be close to You Heng.

The son of a general county family lived for seventeen or eighteen years, except for these two sleeves, there is no extra money and food at home, which can be regarded as a strange news.

But you do your own thing, and you don't take the guidance of others seriously.

There is a kind of detachment of "everyone is drunk and I am sober" and "the world is dirty, I am self-purifying".

The four words of arrogance and arrogance are vividly expressed in You Heng.

"Yo, isn't that less? Why do you want to come to seek an official job? Have you been crowned? ”

"You Heng, don't come to get involved, what will your mouth do besides hurting people?"

"Lord Juncheng can lead the army to kill people, don't harm yourself by talking nonsense, and implicate us."

"If you are full of articles, but you don't have any worldly talent, don't come to harm the people."

"It's really unlucky, how can you be in the same column as this guy Youheng."

“.”

As soon as they saw that You Heng also came to the county government to seek officials, all the scholars showed their disgust for You Heng.

After all, there was not a single scholar present who had not been scolded by Youheng.

But You Heng scolded people, and also quoted scriptures and classics, which made these scholars uncomfortable.

I have the heart to appreciate the rhetoric, but I find that the rhetoric is scolding myself, which is awkward for everyone.

"Bird, the ambition of the bird?"

You Heng looked up proudly and disdained the scholars around him.

But gradually, You Heng became a little anxious.

This scholar went in and out of the county office, but he didn't call out Youheng's name.

Even those who arrived later than You Heng had already left.

Although the scholars can't scold Youheng, they can play some small tricks to isolate Youheng.

Seeing that the hour has come, You Heng is still blowing the night wind.

The autumn breeze made You Heng feel more and more lonely.

If this was before, You Heng would have waved his sleeves and left.

But today, so many scholars have seen You Heng come to ask for officials, if they don't see Zheng Ping and leave, You Heng will not be able to hang his face.

A tree lives a skin, and a man lives a breath.

Especially a proud person like Youheng also has to fight for pride.

"This Zheng Ping is also a layman!" You Heng felt a little impatient in his heart.

It wasn't until You Heng was left alone in this battle that the scattered officials notified You Heng to enter to see Zheng Ping.

"Hmph~"

You Heng glanced at the scattered officials contemptuously, straightened his clothes, and expressed the requirements of poetry and etiquette for the appearance and pace of scholars to the extreme, showing the elegance of Confucianism.

You Heng had already thought of the rhetoric in his mind, and was about to scold Zheng Ping angrily, and then waved his sleeves and left, in order to understand his thoughts.

But when he arrived in the inner hall, You Heng didn't see Zheng Ping, only Deng Xu waited in the inner hall.

"Mr. You, Mr. Xianmou has rested, please come back tomorrow." Deng Xu had a smile on his face, but this seemingly rude remark was said very naturally.

You Heng's face changed, and his tone became more angry: "Rest? Then what did you call me in? ”

The autumn wind that blew in the middle of the night was about to scold, but I found that the Lord asked me to come back tomorrow?

You Heng felt that all the hot blood was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Deng Xu handed a letter to You Heng and said with a smile: "Don't blame Mr. You! Mr. Xianmou knew that this was a bit rude, so he left a letter of apology to Mr. You. ”

"Mr. Xianmou has been fighting for days, and today I have seen many soldiers seeking officials, and I am already exhausted, so please forgive me!"

You Heng looked at the letter, but his heart was understanding.

If you have time to write letters, but you don't have time to see yourself, you can fool fools with these words.

Hum!

I want to see how Zheng Ping apologizes.

You Heng didn't leave, and directly opened the letter in front of Deng Xu and swept the contents.

But the next moment, You Heng's eyes became frightened, and he subconsciously took a step back.

The content of this epistle is a letter of apology, but it is four poems.

The poet fairy Li Bai's four poems under the moon are combined together.

One of them: a pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio

Second: If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth

Third: Xianyang City in March, thousands of flowers are like brocade. Who can be alone in spring, and must drink about it

Fourth: Thousands of poor sorrows, 300 glasses of fine wine. Although there is too much sorrow and little wine, the wine does not come to me

These four poems describe the depressed scholar who drinks alone under the moonlit night flowers, but no one is close to the cold scene, although the heart is depressed, but can only take the moon as a friend, and sing about wine.

But the scholars seem to be able to enjoy themselves, but deep down there is endless desolation, there is loneliness and arrogance that they have never met, and there is also the unruly arrogance in frustration.

Different people and different moods read the same poems, and their feelings are different.

If Deng Xu looks at these four combination poems, it is estimated that he will only feel that the rhetoric is gorgeous, but there is no empathy.

But Youheng is different!

Aren't these four combined poems a portrayal of You Heng's heart?

"Beihai Zheng Xianmou, do you know that I am Heng?"

Although he disdains the contempt of the scholars of the same county, You Heng still hopes to be recognized in his heart.

If you really didn't care about what the people around you thought, Youheng would have retreated to the mountains and forests a long time ago, instead of often coming out to comment on current affairs and judge the world, let alone come to see Zheng Ping today.

However, Zheng Ping deliberately did not see it, but he gave You Heng these four poems of the moon's solo drink, which made You Heng surprised and ashamed.

After all, You Heng has prepared a lot of flowery rhetoric to anger Zheng Ping.

As a result, Zheng Ping gave him a poem.

And these four poems, whether it is rhetoric or artistic conception, make You Heng astonished!

"Mr. You, Mr. You—" Deng Xu saw You Heng staring at the letter in place, and reminded him.

You Heng woke up in shock, straightened his appearance, and said without losing his manners: "Since Lord Juncheng is tired of marching, he will not bother in his later life." I told him that I would come to visit tomorrow morning. ”

Immediately, You Hengzuo fell down and exited the inner hall, and then turned to leave.

Late birth?

Deng Xu's eyes were surprised, and he looked at the back of You Heng leaving, as if he had heard some strange words.

"Doesn't it mean that you are proud of your talents? He just called himself a late student? Deng Xu looked at the scattered official on the right, this scattered official was Zhao Rui, a newly recruited scholar.

Zhao Rui's expression at this time was also extremely complicated.

is also a county scholar, what kind of character you Heng is Zhao Rui knows very well.

From the ministers to the officials, except for Beihai Kong Rong, who has been praised by You Heng, the rest of the scholars have no good words in You Heng's mouth.

But now, when You Heng only saw Zheng Ping's letters, he claimed to be a late child, and even when he left, he was regressing, and this humility was too obvious.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Rui wouldn't have believed that this was Youheng!

Zhao Rui took a deep breath: "Lord Duwei, do you know the content of Lord Juncheng's letter to You Heng?" ”

Deng Xu nodded: "Mr. said that You Heng is conceited and crazy, so he wrote four poems for You Heng to comment." ”

Poem?

Zhao Rui was even more surprised.

Although he is not accustomed to You Heng's arrogance, Zhao Rui has a lot of respect for You Heng's rhetorical level.

You are proud of your talents, not a golden appearance.

However, it was precisely because Zhao Rui knew that You Heng was talented that he was surprised.

can make You Heng, who has always been proud of his literary rhetoric, humble himself as a late life, how subtle is this Zheng Ping's poem?

Inner room.

Zheng Ping marked the list of scholars who came to seek officials today.

Just to govern a county, it is enough for such a county to ask for officials.

Zheng Ping didn't require these scholars to have much political achievement, he only needed these scholars to strictly implement the decrees issued by Liu Bei.

And among these scholars, the one that makes Zheng Ping's eyes shine is Youheng.

Although you are proud of your talents, you are truly talented.

However, your ability is not to shepherd one side, govern the people and secure the people, nor is it to rank as a minister and make decisions on national affairs.

Your talent lies in your clerical skills!

In terms of clerical matters, you have handled it very appropriately.

Youheng is a genius who is good at writing official documents!

For example, if you want to make a list to settle the people, You Heng can write this list so that the scholars and people who read the list are happy and can't find the slightest fault.

If you want to play the upper ranks, you Heng can also arrange the priorities of the content of the document clearly.

It's just that such a genius can't control his mouth.

Obviously, you can write official documents with high emotional intelligence, but once you debate with others, it often becomes low emotional intelligence.

Giving you Heng with poetry is not Zheng Ping's whim.

As early as when he was in Gaotang County, Zheng Ping had already figured out how to make good use of Youheng's talents.

At the level of clerical work, You Heng can compete with Chen Lin.

Liu Bei, the plain minister, after all, was only a trial defense, and it was made by Chen Ji, and he was not officially canonized by the imperial court.

Even if Liu Bei is elected to the Qingzhou Assassin in the future, it can only be a hypocrisy.

No matter how good the reason is, Liu Bei's position is unjustifiable.

Therefore, Zheng Ping needs a genius who can speak well and is good at official documents, to be responsible for writing documents to block the mouths of the people, and to send a sincere recital to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an!

And Youheng, perfect for this location!

Make the best use of your talents.

Only by putting talents in the right places can they develop their true talents.

If you only measure your talent, but not your comprehensive ability, and let you Heng govern such a county, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the county.

The county magistrate who abandoned the city and fled is stronger than You Heng in terms of being a county magistrate!

But You Heng is too arrogant, if you directly let You Heng be in charge of the paperwork, it will make You Heng feel that he has not met Huai Heng.

Therefore, Zheng Ping gave You Heng four combined poems of the poet immortal Li Bai after gaining insight into Your Heng's state of mind.

In terms of gorgeous rhetoric and poetic conception, this ancient and modern talent, who can fight with Li Bai?

Although he has some heart when he is a copyist, Zheng Ping is a strategist, and which strategist is not dirty?

Using Li Bai's poems to suppress You Heng's arrogance, and letting You Heng's talents be used by Liu Bei, this is Zheng Ping's mental trick, even if he is a palindromic copyist, what bad thing can he do?

"Sir."

Deng Xu came to the inner room and knocked on Zheng Ping's door.

After getting the agreement, Deng Xu pushed the door in and reported Youheng's reactions one by one.

"Mr. You said that you will come to visit you early tomorrow morning."

"It's just that they say that this you are proud of your talents, but today you claim to be a late child, which is surprising."

There was more curiosity in Deng Xu's tone.

Zheng Ping smiled but did not answer, put down the list of scholars in his hand, his eyes fell on the map of the nine counties of the plains, and asked, "What is the result of the interrogation of the descendants?" ”

Deng Xu was stunned, put away his curiosity, and said with a smile: "Since the Yellow Turban Descendant who was interrogated today, I learned that the Yellow Turbans who attacked Yanci, Leling and Banxian were all under the command of a Qu Shuai who claimed to be the commander of the Qu Gong. ”

"This person claims to be the descendant of Zhang Bao, the general of the earth, who preaches in the territory of the three counties and wants to do the right thing for heaven, but no one knows the real name of this person."

"The leader of the thieves who escaped today is the commander of the local public canal."

Zheng Ping's eyes were sarcastic: "The land is handsome, preaching, and it seems that he is a scholar as unambitious as Zhang Jiao." It's a pity that there is no talent, and he will only play these crooked ways. ”

"Take advantage of the hatred of the people, but do selfish things, and dare to claim to be the commander of the earth, and speak vainly for the heavens?"

"Heh~, a thief is a thief, and that's how big the pattern is."

Dropping a stone on the map of Leling County, Zheng Ping gave an awe-inspiring order: "Captain Deng, you take two hundred people and go here in the starry night." Relying on the dangerous obstacles of mountains and forests, water springs and forests to build a camp position, it must be completed within three days! ”

"Pay attention to the hidden soldiers, anyone who dares to peep into the camp will be killed!"

Seeing that Zheng Ping had issued a new tactical order, Deng Xu did not dare to slack off, and commanded: "Sir, rest assured, I promise to complete the task!" ”

When Deng Xu left, Zheng Ping took off his long shirt and took off the sachet hanging behind his elbow.

Although the marriage with Kong Su is a marriage mixed with interests, Zheng Ping is also moved by this girl who gave sachets when they first met.

"Time and distance are the most tests of the depth of feelings."

"Although it is a marriage, the relationship can also be managed."

Zheng Ping sighed slightly for a while, and hung the sachet back behind his elbow.

Blowing out the candle, Zheng Ping soon fell into a deep sleep.

Zheng Ping's daily affairs are very busy, and if he wants to maintain energy at all times, it is inseparable from a good night's sleep.

After ten years of self-discipline training, Zheng Ping can fall asleep in a short time.

The rooster reported the dawn, Zheng Ping got up and came to the courtyard, and began the morning exercise day after day.

Only when the body is strong can we manage all kinds of opportunities.

Although everyone despises Sima Yi, they have to admit that Sima Yi has achieved the ultimate in longevity.

It is also a good opportunity, but it can live more than ten years longer than Zhuge .

Just finished playing a set of five poultry plays, the doorman came in to report:

"Lord Juncheng, you ask to see you!"
