The tea stalls on the roadside are very simple. Just put up a pole and write the word "tea" on it, and then build a thatched house.
The advantage is that the freshly collected mountain spring water is absolutely sweet, and it is especially delicious when brewed into tea.
Originally, the two Taoist priests sitting here drinking tea didn't look out of place, but when Hua Xin joined, it started to attract people's attention.
Fortunately, in the Wei Dynasty, the fashion of celebrities was popular. If you don't do some work, you are not considered a celebrity, so no one pays much attention to it.
"I wonder if the doctor will be assigned any official position when he comes here?" Li Yu asked.
Hua Xin was a little confused. Did a terrestrial immortal of this level also care about official positions in the mortal world? Not to mention, Ge Hong, the Baopuzi here, didn't have much idea about official positions.
At the beginning, Ge Hong also served as an official with meritorious service in suppressing bandits, but he soon resigned.
Hua Xin said softly: "Your Majesty did not give up, and entrusted me with the imperial censorship."
Even though Ge Hong was not familiar with world affairs, he couldn't help but be moved at this time and praised: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wei, is so courageous."
A minister who had just been poached from another country actually became the imperial censor of the Wei Dynasty. Cao Cao was indeed very eclectic in employing people.
Yushi Dafu, an official title established in the Qin Dynasty, was the deputy to the prime minister, the chief of the imperial censor, and was responsible for supervising the duties of all officials.
In the Han Dynasty, the prime minister, the imperial censor, and the chief minister became the three princes. Now they also occupy an important position in the court and are the leaders of law enforcement and supervisory agencies.
It seems that Cao Cao gave Hua Xin such an official position, which shows that he valued Hua Xin.
Li Yu smiled and said: "The doctor is highly virtuous and highly respected, and your Majesty has a keen eye for recognizing talents."
"The Taoist priest is so complimentary."
Ge Hong poured him a cup of tea, and Li Yu continued to ask: "Doctor Hua came from the state of Wu. I wonder if the soldiers and horses of Soochow have captured Yizhou at this time?"
"Yizhou is a barren land with sparsely populated people and numerous ferocious beasts. There are many monsters and monsters on the mountains and in the deep sea, which are extremely difficult to deal with. Governor Zhou Yu has increased his troops to support, and I believe that Yizhou will be captured soon.
."
Li Yu nodded secretly in his heart. It would be most appropriate for him to go after they had finished packing up Yizhou.
People like Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are extremely pragmatic. When the time comes, there is no need for me to tell them passionately that they will conquer the sky. I only need to say that the five countries have agreed.
The pressure is still on Li Shimin
Li Yu gets a headache when he thinks of Chang'an and Li Shimin.
This family member is too difficult to deal with, and they are somewhat unhappy with me. Although the relationship between them seems to be very good, everyone knows deep down that there is a certain grudge that cannot be resolved.
Is there any way to untie the knot with Datang?
Li Yu had a headache and couldn't help but think of his apprentice Shi Qian
This matter is probably still falling on Shi Qian.
If he didn't call him back, Shi Qian would become one of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.
Only thieves know how to catch thieves best.
Just because of his presence, the crime rate in Chang'an City has dropped by at least seven or eight points.
Hua Xin wanted to continue sitting for a while, but his butler came forward and whispered a few words beside him.
Hua Xin stood up and said, "The two Taoist priests have been invited to attend the Bamboo Forest Literary Meeting. I'll take my leave first. I'll meet up with the two Taoist priests another day if I have a chance."
Ge Hong is a practitioner of both Xuan Confucianism and Confucianism. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he pulled Li Yu and said, "It just so happens that we should go and have a look."
Li Yu had nothing to do, so he followed them and got into Hua Xin's carriage. Since he wanted to integrate the forces of the human race and fight against the sky, he had to understand them.
Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Perhaps we can get a glimpse of what kind of people in Wei Dynasty are like at such cultural gatherings.
The carriage traveled all the way south, and after a while, it entered a street. There were many academies in Xudu, among which Zhulin Academy was not eye-catching, but several of its scribes were quite famous among the scholars.
Zhulin Academy meets at the beginning of each month to meet with friends, comment on figures, and discuss scriptures in major academies in turn. This is called the Moon Dan Commentary. It is a famous event among scholars in Xudu and even the Wei Dynasty. This month is the turn of Zhulin Academy, but it has been postponed to today for some reason.
When Hua Xin, Li Yu and others arrived, there were already dozens of carriages and horses in the academy, and people gathered together. Li Yu noticed that in Shu, officials generally rode not carriages, but carriages drawn by wooden oxen, but in the Wei Dynasty, officials They are not short of horses.
It seems that Cao Cao has been suppressing the northern barbarians, and he has no shortage of horses.
There is a mat in the middle of the hall, with several eucalyptus seats placed. Four scribes occupy the two sides, and an elder with a white beard sits in the middle as the host. There are three rows of seats around it, which can accommodate hundreds of people.
At this time, a young scholar was talking loudly on the seat in the middle, "Destiny is called nature; spontaneity is called Tao; cultivating the Tao is called teaching. If we look at what has been done in the past life and see how heaven and man interact with each other, the country will be wrong. If you are defeated, Heaven will first send out disasters to warn you; if you don’t know how to reflect on yourself, you will show strange things to warn you; if you don’t know how to change, then you will be hurt and defeated!”
"This is what Dong Zi said! It is not the truth!" A white-haired old man on the opposite side said loudly: "What the former king described is based on benevolence, righteousness and righteousness, and it is not some weird and absurd thing! It covers the destiny of heaven and earth. It is difficult for a sage to describe it! From Zigong on down, it is impossible to hear it. How much more will later generations be ignorant of it and understand it!"
The young man said loudly: "Young man, I dare not say justice! The so-called punishment is not right, then evil will arise; evil will accumulate at the bottom, and resentful animals will rise above. If the upper and lower are not harmonious, the yin and yang will be violent and evil will arise. This disaster is strange. It arises from fate. There are countless books on prophecies in the world, sir, you can try them all!"
The scholar's voice was loud and could be heard clearly outside the hall, but Li Yu couldn't understand it at all. Hua Xin patted his clothes and walked in intently.
On the contrary, Ge Hong, who practiced in the mountains, knew these things very well. He whispered: "The younger generation is Yang Xiu. He is respectful and studious, erudite and talented. Moreover, his family has a good academic background. His ancestor is Yang Zhen, and his father is Yang Zhen. This is Yang Biao, who has been in the family of hairpins for generations. He has been Zhenzhi Biao, the fourth Taiwei, but today he is facing Mr. Wang, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away with it."
"Which Mr. Wang?"
"Wang Lang!"
Wang Lang?
A picture suddenly appeared in Li Yu's mind, and the picture of a horse trampling the old man appeared in his mind.
Wang Lang laughed loudly and said: "The only six classics written by the saints are the Six Classics, how can they predict the future!"
It was Wang Lang and Yang Xiu who were debating. Although Li Yu didn't know much about Confucianism, he suddenly became interested.
These are two powerful men.
Li Yu and the other three found a place to sit down. He even straightened his clothes and began to listen carefully.
Within the Six Dynasties, Confucianism was a great science, and the real great Confucians could also guide the country. Their strength was not weak, and the leaders among them could even compete with the monks and generals.
Yang Xiu said loudly: "I don't agree with what you said! Everything in the world has yin and yang, yang is the warp, and yin is the latitude. There are six warps in the world, and there are seven latitudes! Yi Wei, Shangshu Wei, Shi Wei, Li Wei, The Spring and Autumn Weft, the Lewei, the Xiao Jingwei... are all secret transmissions of the inner learning of the saints!"
Wang Lang pinched his beard and laughed a few times, quite impressively.
Then he looked sharply, stood up, looked around, pointed his fingers and said loudly: "Qiwei? It's all lies!"
Yang Xiu was overwhelmed by his momentum and choked for a moment, while the scribes around him exploded.
"Why did Wang Jingxing make such wild remarks!"
Li Yu was also shocked. This old man was so imposing. Is he Wang Lang?
Faced with everyone's surprise and anger, Wang Lang was not afraid at all, and loudly said: "Is there any fixed number for all things in the world? The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine. The only things that remain unchanged are sages, and the rest are not enough.
As evidence."
"Under the way of heaven, all things are like ruts. The sage explores the way of heaven and opens up the eternal light in the long night. People have etiquette and are human beings, and animals have no etiquette and are sacrificed. This is how humanity shines."
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He walked to the middle of the cultural gathering, stepped on a small table, and said loudly: "That's why the sages are above the way of heaven. This is the so-called man's determination to conquer heaven!"
The weather, which had been clear and clear just now, suddenly changed color. A strong wind blew outside the hall, and the rolled-up bamboo curtains were blown "pop-pop". Then raindrops fell, and a heavy rain came.
Along with the heavy rain, there were lightning and thunder, and the lightning flashed on Wang Lang's face, but his eyes did not change in any way due to the change in color of the sky and the earth.
Li Yu didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked, and Digu said: Wang Situ, why is he so fierce?
