Shili Xiang Wine Shop, the largest and most luxurious wine shop in Wancheng, is located directly opposite the Shoufu of Wancheng County, and it is only a hundred steps away from the door of the mansion......

This wine shop is a newly opened wine shop integrating food and lodging, singing and dancing after Cai Mao and Zhang Yun recovered Nanyang County.

It is said that the liquor shop is the industry under the name of Cai Mao, the general of Jingzhou, and it attracted the favor of Wancheng's dignitaries and scholars as soon as it opened.

Since the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials came to Wancheng four days ago, the Shili Xiang Wine Shop has ushered in the golden period, nearly 1,000 rooms are full, and there are no less than 5,000 people who enter and leave the wine shop every day, half of them are admirers who come to seek scholars, and half of them are generals and scribes under the accounts of princes from all walks of life.

For example, a group of tyrants came yesterday evening, spending money like dirt, and chartered fifty rooms in the East Cross Courtyard in one go, and five Accords on the attic of the county guard mansion for half a month. What is puzzling is that the five Accords chartered by this group are not exclusive, but allow literati to go upstairs to drink and talk, and give free wine and food, which is equivalent to eating and drinking for nothing.

However, all the scribes who go upstairs to eat white food must be given one, and those who are gifted with good poetry can not only eat and drink for nothing, but also receive ten taels of gold when they leave. Those who are medium in poetry will eat and drink for nothing, and leave after eating; Inferior poetry, you can go upstairs to taste tea, and give a bag of pastries when you leave. As for the poems that do not enter the stream, or the graffiti works that cannot be talked about at all, they are all exempted. From where to go back and forth.

In just one night, the news that a Yang Dashan person had come to Shili Xiang Wine Store spread, and many scholars flocked to it after hearing the news. It's a pity that there are very few of them who can make excellent poetry. Only a dozen scribes were identified as medium works by Yang Dashanren's personal scholars, eating and drinking for nothing, and each of them took away a jar of osmanthus brew when they left. The scholar's beautiful name was "Wine for Famous Scholars", which made more than a dozen "Famous Scholars" leave happily with fine wine, and showed off when they met people.

Immediately, the words of "wine for celebrities" quickly spread among the scholars of Wancheng and were regarded as beautiful talks. That. More and more scribes came to ask for not gold or silver, not for cakes. Just ask for a jar of osmanthus stuffed.

In fact, the families of scribes who can afford to read nowadays are not too bad, at least their families are wealthy, and no matter how poor they are, they are also the families of officials and eunuchs who are in the middle of the road. Other words. The children of ordinary people cannot afford to read. I can't afford to buy books, and I can't afford to hire a teacher. Even some academies that nominally cultivate talents for free, such as Yingchuan Academy, Lushan Academy and other academies funded by contemporary celebrities, will not recruit students casually, and every student who enters the academy is a child of a scholar clan or a family of eunuchs, either rich or expensive, and there are only a handful of children who are really born in a commoner's family, like stars.

As a result, most of these scribes were well-fed. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no shortage of wine and food. What they really care about is "fame". Wine to celebrities, how good it is, listening to it makes people's hearts move. Don't you hear that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao has always liked to make friends with celebrities, and he has gathered a large number of famous people in the Central Plains, although there are few people who have been entrusted with important tasks, but a wealth is at your fingertips.

The good name of the literati has been the same since ancient times. Yang Dashan, who lives in a ten-mile fragrant wine shop, can come up with such an idea of refusing to be disturbed by others, but without losing notoriety, which can be described as ingenious and extraordinary.

However, since last night, not a single scribe who has been qualified to go upstairs has seen Yang Dashan himself. According to his scholar Guo Shiqi, only those who are superior in poetry are qualified to drink and talk with their lord Yang Lin; If he is talented, Yang Lin will directly recommend him to all the princes, and promise that he will be reused, and his future is limitless.

It can be seen that Yang Lin, a great benevolent person, has a lot of background, at least he has a lot of energy and a big voice. "Directly recommend to the princes from all walks of life", listen to how imposing this is said, as if he does not treat himself as an outsider, just like the Son of Heaven sitting in the county guard mansion opposite, if ordinary people dare to make such a big statement?

―――――――――― small dividing lines――――――――――

Today is the day when Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao led the army to Wancheng, early in the morning the county guard mansion was busy inside and outside, the soldiers and horses under the command of the princes from all walks of life went in and out, very noisy, so that the guests who lived in the Shili Xiang wine shop were not at peace, and they were woken up by the noise early.

Near noon, the wine shop opposite the county guard mansion was wide open through the window, and Yang Dashan and the scholar Guo Shiqi stood in front of the window and looked down at the street below, looking at the defenders in front of the county guard mansion from time to time, and talking in a low voice.

"Look at the situation in front of you, splashing the streets with clean water, lining up to greet each other, Liu Biao's weight in the minds of all the princes is not light!"

"Lord、、、 uh no, I'm losing my word." Guo Shiqi apologized, and then said: "What Childe said is extremely true. Jingzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, bordering Wuguan in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. Liu Jingsheng sits on the nine counties of Jingzhou, has no war for many years, has a dense population, has more than 300,000 soldiers, and holds the Jingzhou Naval Division, which is known as the first in the world. Its strength is strong, second only to our 、、、, second only to the Xiliang Army, far better than Jizhou Yuan Shao, Yanzhou Cao Cao and Yangzhou Yuan Shu and other princes, can be called the well-deserved overlord of the Central Plains, the second largest princely power in the world.

To this day, if there is any prince in the world who can confront the Xiliang army head-on, it is Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and no other prince has this strength. Therefore, Liu Biao has the absolute right to speak among the princes of all walks of life, and his status is natural; Even the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who had no one in their eyes, were very jealous of Liu Jingsheng and did not dare to act recklessly in Jingzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Shiqi's tone paused slightly, and he said with a smile: "Judging from the current situation, presumably when Liu Biao's car arrives, all the princes will have to go out of the palace to greet each other. Otherwise, they will come uninvited this time, blame Jingzhou, calculate Liu Biao, once Liu Biao Xingshi asks for the guilt, I am afraid that the princes of the five roads will lose face and be in a dilemma! Hehehe"

Yang Lin, a great benevolent man, smiled when he heard this: "Liu Biao has the style of a gentleman and an elder, and he is tolerant and virtuous. He will definitely not mobilize the army for this, nor will he use the power of Jingzhou to make enemies with the princes of the Five Roads. What's more, although Liu Jingsheng has no ambition to dominate the world. But he is not the master of mediocrity. He is meticulous and well-versed in the way of power and strategy, and has always planned and then acted, if he is not 100% sure, he would rather miss the opportunity than take risks lightly.

Therefore, the escape of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to Jingzhou is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Liu Biao is stronger, push the boat down the river and repair Wancheng. As the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, all the princes will return empty-handed in vain. If this is the case, even if the Han Dynasty is in danger, it will not be able to reproduce the great achievements of Guangwu Zhongxing. At least for a decade or even decades; And so it goes. The situation in the world will inevitably change because of this, and many of our painstaking plans will also be in vain, which is tantamount to shooting ourselves in the foot and inflicting self-inflicted problems. ”

While speaking, Yang Lin looked happy and said with a hearty smile: "Fortunately, Liu Biao is not Liu Bei, he just wants to spend his old age in the nine counties of Jingzhou, and he has no ambition to chase the world." Otherwise, I'll be self-defeating. Hehehe! ”

Just as the two were talking and laughing, a middle-aged man walked into the Accord quickly. Holding a roll of bamboo slips with ink in his hand, it was obvious that there was a scribe downstairs, hoping to get a jar of osmanthus brew.

"Lord、、、 Son, look at how this endowment is? I can't do such a good work in the summer and cold, but I don't think this time is an eye-opener, and I have gained knowledge, and the scholar is so young that he can write this poem in one go! The middle-aged man sighed and sighed while offering the bamboo slips with both hands, and the meaning of cherishing and loving was overflowing.

"Oh, and it's really good?" Yang Lin groaned in amazement, took the bamboo slip casually, and looked at it intently. But see the bamboo slip on the book: "Wancheng Fengyunfu: the Son of Heaven returns to the east and is dark, and he moves Wancheng to the stormy clouds; The wolves are preying for food, and the Han family is in danger."

After reading the whole poem, Yang Lin frowned, squinted his eyes, his expression was extremely solemn, and a trace of fierce murder flashed in his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he instructed the middle-aged man: "Yan Pu, quickly invite the person who made the endowment to the Accord, I want to see him." ”

"No, I'll take him to the Accord right here." Yan Pu happily responded, turned around and left.

"Remember, don't be rude." Seeing Yan Pu hurriedly go downstairs, Yang Lin deliberately shouted and admonished.

After reading the poem, Guo Shiqi sighed: "The person who made this endowment is really good, has extraordinary knowledge, and breaks through the mystery in one word." There are such talents in Wancheng, which is really unexpected! ”

Yang Lin bowed slightly, and said with deep sympathy: "We thought we had a plan, but unexpectedly, a scholar saw through the mystery, and it was like watching a fire from the other side, which is really incredible." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there was such a wise man in the world! ”

Guo Shiqi nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "How is the lord going to deal with it?" ”

"If it can be used by me, use it, kill it if it is not available, and never be merciful and harm me!" Yang Lin said in a deep voice without thinking.

Guo Shiqi nodded understandingly: "I also have this intention below." If you can't use this kind of talent, you must not keep it, otherwise you will have trouble. ”

"Childe, Mr. Kong Ming is here!" At the door of the Accord, Yan Pu walked in with a young man who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, Yang Lin and Guo Shiqi turned around when they heard the sound, and at first glance they saw the young man, and the two couldn't help but praise in their hearts: "What a beautiful young man with a lofty spirit!" ”

"In Kongming, the capital of Xiayang, I have seen Yang Dashan and Guo Guanshi." Facing Yang Lin and Guo Shiqi's amazed and approving eyes, Kong Ming stepped forward to salute with a calm expression.

"Kong Ming ???" At first glance, when he heard that the young man called himself Kong Ming, Yang Lin's voice changed, his eyes stared at Kong Ming with burning eyes, and he asked in amazement. At this moment, his face was full of surprise, and he looked at Kong Ming's eyes with bright eyes, as if he had encountered something incredible.

"Down there is Kong Ming. Could it be that the great good man has heard the name below? Forgive me for being clumsy, it seems that I have never met a great good person, I don't know why the great good man looks at me like this? Kong Ming asked in a low voice with a blank expression.

Yang Lin's expression was as usual after hearing this, and he said with a pleasant face: "Yang is rude, don't blame Mr. Kong Ming." To tell the truth, although Yang and Mr. have never met, they feel very close to Mr. this time, as if they have been friends for a long time. Maybe Mr. thinks what Yang said is too abrupt and shallow and deep, but this statement is from the bottom of his heart and honest. If you are rude, please also ask Mr. Yaliang Haihan. ”

Kong Ming's expression changed slightly, he looked at Yang Lin scrutinically, and after a little hesitation, he smiled heartily: "The great good man is here." He came from a humble background, and now he has no official and no lord, just a cloth cloth villager, and he relies on a few thin fields to make a living. However, this meeting, I also felt the same way with the great good people, and I felt very cordial. If the great good people don't think that the grass people are from humble backgrounds, they can call them in the lower Kongming, and don't call them Mr. anymore. I don't know what happens under the great benevolence? ”

"Hehehe! So much better. Yang Lin was pleased and laughed heartily: "What Kong Ming said is very much in line with my opinion. Although you and I met for the first time, we were like old acquaintances at first sight. In this case, the foolish brother will be entrusted to the eldest brother, how about Kong Ming condescending to be a younger brother? ”

"This" Kong Ming was stunned when he heard this, he was surprised, he never expected that this Yang Dashan person in front of him would be so bold, he was so enthusiastic when he met for the first time, and after a few words, he directly called him brother and brother. This situation was deeply surprising and unexpected, so that Mr. Kong Ming, who had always been lightweight, didn't know what to do at the moment.
