Chapter 40: Aspirants
Seeing this person, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know this person, but judging from the other party's appearance, dress, and attitude, it didn't look like he was here to ask for an explanation, nor did he look like he was deliberately trying to humiliate his young master.
Zuo Si hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him.
The man looked at him with a smile, "You have grown so big, do you remember me?" ”
When Zuo Si heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the person in front of him.
This man is very good-looking.
Although the skin is not as white as Pan An, Xiahou Zhan and others, it is so clean and flawless, but it is taller than those two, with angular facial features and extraordinary heroism.
He sat on the top seat, his back straight, his eyes were kind, but with an aura that was different from others, and there were several guards standing around him, none of whom dared to face him.
Zuo Si felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he never remembered the identity of the other party.
"Please forgive the boy's clumsiness, I really can't recognize you, I don't know which elder is in front?"
Zuo Si saluted very respectfully and asked cautiously.
Cao Chao laughed.
This little guy really can't remember himself.
Zuo Si's age is not very old, even now, he is still very young.
But in Dawei, who worships prodigies, everyone is famous as a teenager, and those who go to Taixue after the age of fifteen are all rubbish.
The children of the big clan family have all kinds of supernatural powers after they are born, and everyone is blown into a prodigy, without exception.
This has led to the younger and younger age of the elites in Taixue, and the early Taixue still has age requirements, and if you don't meet the requirements, you will go to be a boy, but today's Taixue, whatever!!
Cao Chao motioned for the other party to sit beside him.
"Your name is Zuo Si, right? I know your father well. ”
"I see, since he is a friend of his father, he should worship him as his middle father!"
Cao Chao shook his head, "No need to be polite, I see that Taixue has been very lively these days, what happened?" ”
Hearing Cao Chao's inquiry, Zuo Si hurriedly replied: "Not long ago, Gong Qian quarreled with Sun Gong, and then more and more people participated, and yesterday there were many celebrities who came to help, Sun Gong didn't dare to come forward today, I heard that another group of people came to help Kong Gong." ”
"Now Kong Gong's momentum is very strong, and Taixue is supporting him, and celebrities from all over the world have echoed him."
Zuo Si seriously talked about the situation in Taixue.
Cao Chao found that this person was not as wooden as he looked, and he was not good at words, but he could actually speak.
Xun Yi's abnormal situation here, Cao Chao noticed it a long time ago.
I don't know what crazy the big clans from all over the country went crazy, and they all came to Luoyang and began to support Qian Zhou.
According to the common saying, it was Xun Yi who summoned these people to help him and helped suppress Sun Yan.
But Cao Chao always felt that this matter was not so simple.
Xun Yi is very appealing, but Cao Chao feels that this person's appeal is not so strong.
If it was just his fellow countrymen, it would be understandable, but why did he even call famous people from other places?
If these were all invited by him, then his appeal would be stronger than his own.
Even if Cao Chao wants to gather these people, it will not be so easy.
These people must have come for some purpose.
But Cao Chao was not worried, he continued to talk to Zuo Sipan, and his mind was still on the young man in front of him.
Thinking of Fang Cai's matter, Cao Chao couldn't help but sigh.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that Zuo Si, a literary master who would be famous in history in the future, would have such an embarrassing time when he was young.
The two talked for a while, and saw that Zuo Si was no longer as restrained as Fang Cai.
Cao Chao asked, "Why do you want to follow Pan Yue's example?" ”
Hearing this, Zuo Si suddenly fell silent.
Cao Chao said: "I don't mean to humiliate you, I'm just curious, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask." ”
"I want to be loved and respected."
Zuo Si replied in a low voice.
"So you just follow Pan Yue's way of traveling, and you want to be loved by others?"
Cao Chao let out a long sigh.
"How do you think you're going to be liked by others in this way?"
Zuo Si raised his head, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his eyes.
"Since I was a child, I was not favored by my father, who asked me to learn a lot of things, but I was too stupid to learn"
"He found a lot of people and sent me to study in Taixue."
"He said that he can't live up to his wishes, and he must create a name for himself in Taixue."
"But in Taixue, no one wants to be friends with me, they all dislike me, they say I'm not from Luoyang, they say I'm ugly, and I don't have literary talent."
"I've been here for a long time, but even the teacher doesn't want to look at me more."
"When I got home, my father reprimanded me for not working hard."
"If it weren't for the death of my grandmother, maybe it wouldn't be like this, she never called me ugly"
Zuo Si said, his words suddenly choked, and he reached out to wipe away his tears.
Cao Chao stretched out his hand and gently helped him wipe away his tears.

"Si is born differently, some are handsome, some are ugly, some are smart, and some are stupid."
"These are not things we can decide, but we can still interfere and change our actions in the future."
"In order to be loved by others today, you are going to emulate Pan Yue, I think you are a good attempt, but unfortunately, the direction is not right."
"Pan Yue is so popular because of his appearance, it's not something we can decide."
"However, there are other ways, the ministers of the court and the central government, the world's celebrities, are not all people like that Pan Yue, there are Ji Kang, Ruan Ji and others, their appearance is no different from ordinary people, the big Sima Qiu is frugal, dark-skinned, and not a handsome person."
"And Deng Ai who destroyed Shu, he has a dark complexion, so he is not good for his appearance, there are many people like this, there are many more people in Dawei, why can they be respected by everyone?"
"But I'm stupid, I don't have talent"
Zuo Si looked at Cao Chao and said in a daze.
Cao Chao smiled and asked, "Then do you have any favorite things to do?" ”
"I like Wenfu poetry, but it's not very good, my father said that I wrote too much, and I didn't have the majestic beauty of Wenfu, and he also said that these are just small paths, but they are used to assist themselves, and scripture is the right way."
"Hahaha, since you like Wenfu, why should you care about your father's evaluation? Just write the way you want! ”
"If you can't write well now, then go and practice, practice for a year, practice for ten years if you can't write well, and if you can't write for ten years, you will practice for twenty years!"
"There will always be a day when you can write well, as long as you have such perseverance, I dare to guarantee that one day, people all over the world, and even future generations, will respect you, love you, and like you."
Zuo Si was stunned.
He looked a little scared, a little hesitant.
"But my father"
"Here, take this!"
Cao Chao took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him.
"Didn't you say you didn't have friends? I'll be your friend from now on, just go and write it, and show it to me when it's done! ”
"If your father reprimands you, show him this jade pendant, and say that this man told you to write it! Let him take care of it! ”
Zuo Si looked at the elders in front of him blankly, and he hurriedly said: "You are my father's friend, how dare I be your friend"
"Your father is much older than me, no problem, you can just take it!"
"In the future, if you want to see me, come here and tell these people that you want to see their master!"
Cao Chao waved his hand, and without waiting for the other party to ask for his name, he left here under the protection of Man Changwu and others.
Zuo Si stayed where he was, looking at the jade pendant in his hand in a daze, and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
On the contrary, it was the royal one, trembling at the moment.
When those people went out just now, he even saw a strong crossbow hidden by them.
Who are these people??
Dare to travel with a strong crossbow in Luoyang??
On the same day, after Zuo Si returned to the mansion, he went into the study.
The emperor appeared in front of Zuo Xi and explained today's events.
After listening to the emperor's words, Zuo Xi asked about the person's appearance again.
After the other party finished speaking, Zuo Xi smiled bitterly.
"It's really an acquaintance who is talking nonsense, but I became a villain in front of him."
"Well, keep looking at the shaft, and stop interfering in this matter."
The Emperor hurried away.
Zuo Xi just rubbed his forehead, should he say that his stupid son's luck is too good or too bad?
You can meet the emperor everywhere you go.
I was also for this shaft, I begged people everywhere at the beginning, spent so much energy, and wanted to train him to become a talent, this is good, the shaft said so many bad things about himself in front of His Majesty, now I am afraid that even his future is hanging.
Zuo Si sat in the study, looking at the paper in front of him, but he didn't know how to write.
He wrote a few sentences, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he immediately crossed it out.
He pondered, then picked up his pen again.
All night, he kept writing, but the final result was not satisfactory, and he kept revising.
By the next day, he hadn't been able to write ten words.
But this did not affect Zuo Si's creative enthusiasm.
At this moment, Cao Chao also returned to the Taiji Palace, and when he walked into the Taiji Palace, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and Zhang Hua was already waiting for him here.
"Your Majesty, it's been ascertained."
"These people really have other plans."
"When they were in Yanzhou, they had a secret private meeting, and they discussed together how to advise His Majesty to abolish the land appreciation order."
"Soon after the negotiation, they appeared in Luoyang and met Xun Yi at night."
"They also gave Xun Yi a lot of gifts."
Zhang Hua talked about the many situations they have now.
In fact, many ministers are almost one-way transparent in the face of the temple, and these wastes who drink alcohol are not their elders, where are they worthy of sitting in their current positions?
The situation in Xunyi Mansion is also known to the temple.
Judging from many news, these people gathered in Xunyi's mansion for the purpose of appreciating the field.
