Chapter 090: The Virtuous Crowd Arrives
"Hahaha, everyone, please come in!"
Sima Yan's face was full of redness, his eyes were full of pride, and standing in front of him were the seven famous celebrities in Luoyang.
Except for Lu An, the rest of the people all arrived.
It's just that the atmosphere of the scene is slightly weird.
Ruan Ji was originally a free rider, so he seemed very calm, standing in front of everyone, silent, as usual, and his nephew Ruan Xian stood behind him, curiously looking at the palace in front of him.
Ji Kang is still drunk, and he needs Shantao and Xiang Xiu to support him.
Wang Rong's face was full of smiles, and he responded enthusiastically to the kindness from Sima Yan.
Liu Ling also had a faint smile on her face, but it was not as obvious as Wang Rong.
In fact, the position of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest is not the same, like Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, they are obviously very biased towards Cao Wei, and they are not interested in the Sima family, but because they have no strength, they can only reject them in disguise.
And Shan Tao and Xiang Xiu have a certain sympathy for Cao Wei, but they lack courage, and they dare not refuse the kindness of the Sima family like Ruan Ji Kang.
Liu Ling is a neutral faction, and he may have his heart set on Cao Wei, but he is not willing to participate in these things, so he just wants to be a good celebrity.
And Wang Rong is more special, his father is a hardcore ally of the Sima family, and he is also very close to the Sima family and the Zhong family.
Of course, Wang Rong is not a person like Jia Chong, he is quite frank, he doesn't pay attention to appearance and etiquette, he is talkative, and he doesn't care about money, so he can mix with these six people.
Sima Yan didn't expect that he could gather these people in the palace so easily.
These seven people have a great reputation, not to mention Sima Yan, even Sima Zhao has wanted to entertain them many times, but they are not very interested in these, and they often refuse and are unwilling to go.
But he did what his father couldn't do!
Sima Yan's mood at the moment is probably similar to Guo Jian's.
These people are here for a reason.
Like Wang Rong, they probably didn't want to reject the son of the general who conquered the west, and people like Ji Kang probably wanted to see the talented emperor who wrote the empty city sparrow.
Sima Yan led everyone into the palace, and the soldiers guarding the palace looked at these people in front of them, and their eyes were full of suspicion, but with Sima Yan leading the way, they naturally didn't dare to stop and interrogate.
But it is not easy to enter and exit the palace, and it has to be searched very carefully.
For a drunk like Ji Kang, it stands to reason that it is the fault of letting him enter the palace, but Sima Yan is standing here, what can the soldiers do, they can only watch them enter.
After entering the palace, the faces of these people were very calm, and they were not curious about the surroundings.
Only the slightly younger Ruan Xian and Wang Rong looked around.
When they came to the West Hall, Cao Chao came out to greet them with a smile.
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Sima Yan actually brought them over.
This is a bit unreasonable, Sima Zhao agreed to them so easily?
Cao Chao thought in his heart, but he smiled and bowed to everyone.
In the face of this young emperor, everyone still showed more or less respect, except for Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, Ji Kang looked at the young man in front of him with drunken eyes, and suddenly asked: "Is it that you wrote the empty city sparrow??" ”
Sima Yan frowned, although he was a celebrity, this was too rude!
Cao Chao laughed, he knew that those respectful celebrities were not necessarily biased towards his side, but these two people who seemed to be the most rude were the ones who were really close to his camp.
He said, "I didn't write it, but I overheard it in the past and used it for my own use." ”
The crowd could not deny that such a poem could be heard at random?
Ji Kang nodded, "No wonder, at Your Majesty's age, even if you write poetry, you should be vibrant, not like this..... Your Majesty, do you know who wrote this poem? ”
"I don't know, it's probably not in the world."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, if I meet this person, won't I have to drink with him to death?"
Cao Chao glanced at the case in the distance, "If Ji Jun is interested, I am willing to drink with you instead of this person, although my talent is not as good as his, but his poetry, I know some!" ”
"Good!!"
Seeing the two talking like this, several people around looked at each other.
The crowd quickly sat down, and they weren't very restrained.
I can't talk about how close I am to Cao Chao.
It's not that they don't look down on this puppet emperor, they have this attitude towards everyone, even if Sima Shi comes, so do they.
They don't like to take off with the phoenixes.
The most restrained person on the field is Sima Yan.
The people seemed to be still in the bamboo forest, talking and laughing, and soon they were in a state and began to chant poetry loudly and tease each other.
This scene alone is enough to make them famous in history.
After all, there are really not many people who can achieve this kind of realm in the palace.
Cao Chao listened carefully to their topic, did not speak much, and smiled.
On the contrary, Sima Yan has been working very hard to find a topic, and wants to integrate into these people's team, but these people don't care much about Sima Yan, and it gives enough face to be here, what else do you want?
Seeing his own An Shi sitting aside as a licking dog, Cao Chao shook his head and said:
"Gentlemen, the reason why you can gather here today to have fun is because of this wonderful person!"
Cao Chao took Sima Yan's hand and looked at the few celebrities in front of him.
Everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at Cao Chao.
Sima Yan was very nervous and didn't know how to speak.
Cao Chao said calmly: "An Shi doesn't know how to drink, but he likes to watch people drink, he doesn't know how to compose poetry, but he likes to listen to people make poetry, he doesn't know the classics, but he likes to listen to people tell the classics....."
"Isn't it a blessing for you that there are such wonderful people in the world?"
Ji Kang laughed, pointed to Sima Yan in front of him and said, "It's a good owner!" ”
Everyone also laughed, and Sima Yan lowered his head, quite shy.
Cao Chao continued: "This time, when I learned that I wanted to see Zhujun, An Shi disregarded his own safety and went to intercede with General Zhengxi, and he was stunned to persuade the general and call Zhujun over.... It's rare for someone to be able to do this for their friends. ”
Liu Ling couldn't help but say: "If it weren't for that, we wouldn't want to come!" ”
Everyone laughed, but Ruan Ji and Ji Kang didn't have any smiles on their faces.
When the emperor summons celebrities, he needs to get the consent of the general Zhengxi??
Shan Tao suddenly asked, "Then why does Your Majesty want to meet us?" ”
Cao Chao blinked, "I really have something to ask you for." ”
For a moment, the scene fell silent again.
Only Ji Kang said lazily: "Your Majesty is okay to say it directly!" ”
"There are a lot of tributes to the wine from all over the place, but I am a person, I can drink but I don't know how to drink, I can't taste good or bad, I heard that all the gentlemen are heroes in wine, and I specially invited to taste the wine for me!"
The crowd laughed.
"Your Majesty is not afraid that we will run out of supplies?"
"With An Shi here, what are you afraid of? If there is no wine, let An Shi steal it from his uncle! ”
Sima Yan scratched his head, smirked and said, "Steal, I'll steal!" As long as Your Majesty and your lords are happy..."
After such a conversation, Sima Yan naturally integrated into these people, which made Sima Yan even happier and actively participated in their topic, while Cao Chao still observed the people in front of him, a little unfathomable, and did not say a word.
Everyone soon got drunk, and at some point, Ji Kang was already sitting next to Cao Chao, looking unconscious.
"Your Majesty... You can still return..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Chao squeezed his hand and slammed it hard.
A trace of consternation flashed in Ji Kang's eyes, as if he understood something, he drooped his head and stopped talking, as if he was completely drunk.
Sima Yan is obviously on top again, holding Cao Xian's hand at the moment, saying that he is unwilling to let go.
"O Yanshi! I'm so happy today! ”
"So many celebrities and gentlemen are so polite to me!"
"Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, how could the sages be willing to be my guest?"
"I was born in the General's Mansion, no one is close, I have been alone since I was a child, and when I grow up, I only have such a friend, he is leaving, but there are more of you, I will never let down the two of you...."
Just when Sima Yan was pouring out his heart, the uninvited guest was late.
