"That's Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Shi Tao, Cui Zhouping, Meng Jian, Li Ren, and Yin Mo." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he looked directly at the three of them.
The expressions of the three people changed drastically. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes. They were shocked. How many talents do these people have? They knew clearly that Zhuge Liang was called Wolong and Pang Tong was called Fengchu. These two people had the same talent.
"An Tianxia" is also recognized by them. Shi Tao, Cui Zhouping, and Meng Jian spent all day discussing world affairs with Zhuge Liang. As the saying goes, "There are great scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white men who come and go." If you don't have real talent and practical knowledge, how can you get along with the sleeping dragon and the phoenix?
Li Ren and Yin Mo were the favorite disciples of Song Zhongzi. Song Zhongzi was as famous as Pang Degong and Sima Hui. His favorite disciples may not be as good as Wolong and Fengchu, but they are not worse than Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others. Now Liu Qi is actually
Wanting to recruit these people at the same time shows how ambitious he is.
Liu Qi had no choice. The Battle of Guandu was about to begin. It could be said that many counselors and generals already had people to assist them. If he didn't recruit them into his army before Liu Bei came, he might be deceived by Liu Bei again in the future.
He kidnapped and ran away. Then how could he survive in these troubled times? You must know that Liu Bei will seize Jingzhou in the future, how could he allow him, Liu Biao's eldest son and the first heir of Jingzhou, to exist. Even if he existed, I'm afraid he would just be a puppet.
"I am afraid that the eldest son will be disappointed. Although our disciples have some talents, they all have different personalities. Zhuge Kongming has a weak personality and does not like to be disturbed by worldly affairs. He has now lived in seclusion in Wollonggang, Nanyang, and ignores foreign affairs. Pang Shiyuan is single-minded.
I want to be an official, but I have been looking for the Ming Master in various places, but I have disappeared. As for the rest of them, they have also gone out to look for friends and visit wise men. We don't know when they will be able to return. If the eldest son wants to see them, he has to look for them himself.
"Sima Hui said regretfully.
"In this case, do the three gentlemen know where Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi are?" Liu Qi said with some disappointment. Yi Ji looked a little surprised on the side, but then returned to normal.
"Yuan Zhi is a man of righteousness. He goes around doing chivalry and righteousness. He runs around without seeing anyone. I saw him a few months ago. Now I don't know where he is." Sima Hui said.
"That's Qi's presumption. Thank you three gentlemen." Liu Qi said disappointedly. He didn't expect to see them here, and he saw them all at once. He just hoped to try his luck and see one or two and be satisfied.
I didn't expect to see anyone. Even if I guessed the result, I would be disappointed.
"It doesn't matter. If the eldest son wants to find them, go to Wollongong and have a look. Maybe they are there now." Pang Degong reminded him from the side.
"Qi will go visit now and say goodbye." Liu Qi left after saying that, but he still looked a little disappointed.
"Did you ask him to ask Uncle Ji?" Sima Hui asked Yi Ji as soon as Liu Qi left.
"I didn't ask the young master to ask. I just brought the young master to see you. He asked the question himself." Yi Ji said with a wry smile at the side.
The three of them looked at each other and said nothing. Apparently they would talk about this matter after they left, and then the three of them started talking again.
After Liu Qi left, he felt that he returned to his seat alone to drink and chat with Liu Pan and Liu Xiu, but the disappointed expression on his face fell into the eyes of others. The most indispensable thing in the world is people who are good at observing words and expressions. Liu Qi in Yiji
He led them to visit Pang De, Sima Hui, Song Zhongzi and others, but came back disappointed. This was an opportunity.
No matter who is hostile to Liu Qi or wants to become famous by attacking Liu Qi, they are not willing to let go of this opportunity. Someone has already reported what happened here to Liu Cong. Liu Cong just gave Liu Qi a birthday gift and lost it. He was afraid that his father would alienate him, so he
He stayed with his father all the time. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he returned to his seat, gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and looked at Liu Qi with a smile.
The servant followed the order and left. After a while, a young man smelling of alcohol walked up to Liu Qi. After burping, he raised his finger and pointed at Liu Qi and said, "I heard that you have been here since you were a child."
I love reading and am very knowledgeable. Today is Master Zhou Mu’s birthday, so why don’t you sing a song to entertain him?”
At this time, everyone in the courtyard was looking at Liu Qi. Cai Hao squinted and looked at the young man in front of Liu Qi with an expressionless expression, then looked at Liu Biao, and then looked at Liu Qi. Kuai Yue watched with interest while drinking.
Liu Qi, even Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Song Zhongzi stopped talking to Yi Ji and looked at Liu Qi. Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Qi with a smile on her face. And the smile on Liu Cong's face became even brighter.
What he didn't notice was that Liu Biao's eyes were a little gloomy. You can fight any way you want, but you shouldn't be in the public eye. He glanced at Liu Cong, but Liu Biao didn't say anything and turned to look at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi was very angry at this time. He was very unhappy when he didn't see Pang Tong just now. Now when he saw someone actually coming to trouble him, he didn't need to think about it to know that it was Liu Cong who was instigating it. Others didn't even think so.
It was bold. After all, if Liu Qi couldn't do it, not only Liu Qi would be embarrassed, but Liu Biao would also be embarrassed.
"If a tiger doesn't show its power, you will think it's a sick cat. Since you came to provoke me, I will have you stabbed and use you to establish your power as a stepping stone for me to tell others that Liu Qi is not someone who can be bullied." Liu Qi thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi stood up, walked to the middle, and looked around. There was silence in the courtyard. Everyone was staring at Liu Qi. Some were gloating, some were happy, some were worried, and some were watching with disapproval. But Liu Cong's face was gloomy.
At this time, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Liu Qi said calmly: "Last night, I looked at the bright moon and composed a piece of music called "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". It was different from the style currently being circulated, so I simply classified it as a 'ci'. Today I will
Dedicate it to my father." Liu Qi said to Liu Biao.
"Could it be that eldest brother wants to fool his father with a piece of music?" Liu Cong laughed.
Liu Qi glanced at him and said nothing. Liu Cong's face turned livid with anger. The disappointment in Liu Biao's eyes became even stronger. Cai Hao looked at Liu Biao's expression and lamented in his heart, "This Cong'er is really uninterested."
Liu Qi shouted loudly: "When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine." The first line of the water tune leads people's thoughts to the boundless starry sky, and the atmospheric image spreads. As Liu Qi's clear voice spread
When it reached everyone's ears, many people's expressions changed. Some listened attentively, waiting for the next sentence, and some repeated it silently, following Liu Qin's recitation.
"I don't know what year it is today in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I'm afraid that it's too cold in the beautiful buildings and jade buildings. I dance to clear the shadows, and it doesn't feel like I'm in the human world.
After reading the upper line, Liu Qi paused briefly, looked around, the whole place was silent, and glanced at Liu Cong, who had a gloomy face. Liu Qi felt peaceful, and the lower line followed.
"Turn around the Zhu Pavilion, lower the Qi household, and the light is sleepless. There should be no hatred, so why do we have to be reunited when we say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is something that has never been done in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away.
"
Silence, silence. Liu Qi's song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" made everyone in the courtyard fall into deep thought and recite Liu Qi's lyrics over and over again.
"Good, good, good, good. I wish you a long life, and we can share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart." Song Zhongzi praised loudly.
"Ha, ha, ha, little friend, I can set a new example this time. I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise today. It's a worthwhile trip." Sima Hui said with a smile. However, the title has changed. Obviously Liu Qi's
His talent has been recognized by him.
"Hahaha... I, Liu Jingsheng, have a successor. Good, good, good. I won't come home until I'm drunk today." Liu Biao said as he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.
Seeing that Liu Qi had such talent, Yi Ji opened his mouth with joy and frequently toasted to Mr. Pang Degong and the others.
Cai Mao knew that something was going to happen when he heard Liu Qi's poem. Sure enough, after listening to the second half of the poem, even he couldn't help but admire Liu Qi's talent, fearing that Liu Qi would become famous all over the world because of this poem.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou Mu for your double happiness today." Everyone came forward to toast.
"Sir, I don't feel well, so I'm going back first." Mrs. Cai said with a forced smile.
"Well, in that case, you should go back first." Liu Biao said. Mrs. Cai saluted Liu Biao, and then walked to the backyard with a gloomy face. Before leaving, she winked at Cai Hao, and Cai Hao winked at the person next to her.
The greeting followed closely.
Liu Cong was gloomy and speechless, because many of the people who had been around him had already gone to toast Liu Qi.
Liu Qi has no interest in these wallflowers, because they will come to get close to you if you gain power today, and they will want to add insult to injury if you lose power tomorrow. Keeping such people around is a disaster, and they may stab you in the back one day. But now
Unable to offend him, Liu Qi left these matters to Yi Ji. Having been an official for such a long time, Yi Ji naturally knew how to treat such people, as long as he did not get close or alienate.
Liu Qi regretted that Wenpin and Wang Wei did not arrive. These two are the only two generals in Jingzhou. Of course, Huang Zhong also counts, but Huang Zhong is currently idle at home because of the pain of losing his son. Wei Yan is also,
But Wei Yan should be the gatekeeper of Xiangyang City at this time and is not qualified to participate in such a banquet. Officials like them can only ask others to help carry their gifts. Other officials can't even think of recruiting them now.
They are all veteran officials in the officialdom, a typical example of "catching the rabbit but not the hawk". If Liu Qi doesn't make some achievements to increase the capital for succession, don't let them join him.
Liu Qi now wants to recruit some talented people and start a career, and the rest will be discussed later. In the future, after he has accomplished a career, these people will be dispensable.
In the backyard, Mrs. Cai had a gloomy look on her face. Her many plans were not as good as one of Liu Qi's songs.
"Sister." Cai Mao still called Mrs. Cai sister in private.
"Brother, what do you think of today's events?" Mrs. Cai asked.
"What Cong'er did today is indeed too much. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the adults." Cai Mao said.
"I will mention this in front of adults, but why didn't you help Cong'er just now? Cong'er is your nephew, what else do you have to hesitate?" Mrs. Cai looked at Cai Mao and said.
"This is your lord's birthday party. If I help you, I will only make you unhappy. As for why I hesitate, my sister should know that family affairs will not be affected at all just because you are my sister. This is the survival of the big family."
"Sister, sister should understand." Cai Mao said helplessly.
