Since they met, Xunnian took advantage of the situation and walked with Gao Shun and went up the mountain together.
Although there are no geographical restrictions on this literary conference, you can come to participate no matter where you are. But now that the princes are divided, it is impossible to expect all the famous people in the world to gather together. Like Chen Lin in the north and Wang Can in the south, you just send a letter
We sincerely invite them to come. Do they dare to wander around Cao Cao's territory without any trouble?
However, even so, among the literati and poets who appeared at the Yingchuan Cultural Fair, there were also many famous people. Gao Shun and his party had only walked a few steps when they met a father and son. The father was over fifty years old and had quite good looks.
His appearance was somewhat fairy-like, and his temperament was even more refined and extraordinary; while his son was young, handsome, and had an extraordinary temperament. As soon as the two parties met, Guo Jia and Xun Nian immediately rushed forward and saluted the old man in front of them respectfully.
Gao Shun was left aside, alone in a daze. Who was that old man? Guo Jia and Xun Nian paid so much attention to him. Xun Nian didn't care. After all, it was normal for a junior to be respectful to his elders. But Guo Jia was Cao Cao's subordinate.
Although the chief counselor came from a poor family, his status is now extremely noble. An ordinary old man really cannot afford this great gift from him.
Seeing that Gao Shun didn't move at all, Guo Jia was very anxious and hurriedly waved for him to come forward and pay his respects.
"I'm Gao Shun, sir." Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, Gao Shun still stepped forward and greeted him respectfully. After all, the person who could be treated like this by Guo Jia was definitely not an ordinary person no matter how you think about it.
The old man just nodded slightly, without even saying a word, and then left with the young man. But after the young man followed the old man for a few steps, he turned around and made a provocative look towards Gao Shun.
"Oh, who is that old man? You are so arrogant?" I originally thought that after saying my name, I would be able to attract the other party's attention based on my reputation, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't even pay attention to the young man beside him.
He even provoked himself. Did he still think he could write a better article than Afang Gong Fu?
"Hush, be quiet! Even he dares to slander him. Chang Gong, you are very brave, but I don't want to be dragged down by you." Seeing Gao Shun's unkind tone, Guo Jia immediately warned.
"No, Chang Gong, you don't know who he is." Xunnian on the side also looked shocked.
Why do I need to know who that bad old man is? Although he was slandering in his heart, Gao Shun didn't want to cause displeasure to the two of them, so he pretended to be humble and asked: "Please give Zi Sui (characterized by Xun Nian) some advice.
"
"That is Yang Biao and Yang Wenxiangong, the ministers, and beside him is his son Yang Xiu." Xunnian whispered to Gao Shun, "Wenxiangong's prestige among the scholars is unparalleled. Brother Changgong must not do it.
If others listen to your frivolous words, such as what you just said, it will definitely have a negative impact on Brother Chang Gong's reputation."
What? Even saying a few words about him will ruin his reputation? Gao Shun, the name of Yang Biao, has also heard of it in his previous life, but he was not very impressed. Is this old man so powerful?
When later generations talked about the Three Kingdoms, they often said that the Yuan family was the fourth generation and the three princes, but they did not know that the Hongnong Yang family was also the fourth generation and the three princes. Moreover, in terms of family background and reputation, the Yang family was no worse than the Yuan family, and was even slightly better. Yang
When Biao was young, he was not afraid of the powerful. When he was appointed as the emperor of the capital, he went to Yang Qiu, the commander of the imperial school, and spoke frankly about the crimes committed by the eunuch Wang Fu, so he ordered Yang Qiu to kill Wang Fu. At that time, Wang Fu was in a high position and had great power.
No one dared to write a letter of impeachment. Yang Biao's move immediately made his reputation skyrocket.
Later, Yang Biao served as Sikong and Situ successively. Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, but Yang Biao remonstrated and refused. Dong Zhuo was furious, but although he killed many ministers who opposed moving the capital, he still had scruples about Yang Biao.
, he never dared to kill him, so he had to dismiss him from office. Yang Biao's reputation was so great that it can be seen that he was ordinary.
Later, Dong Zhuo died and Yang Biao was appointed as Taiwei. After Cao Cao defeated Li Jue and Guo Si and took the emperor to move the capital to Xuchang, Yang Biao was granted the title of Shangshu Ling.
Yang Biao and Yuan Shu were related by marriage. In the original history, Yang Biao was implicated and imprisoned because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. Cao Cao wanted to execute him, but Kong Rong stopped him. Kong Rong said to Cao Cao, if you kill Yang Biao, I will
He resigned and went home the next day. In view of Yang Biao's great reputation, Cao Cao had no choice but to release him from prison, and a few years later he was appointed as Taichang. There were even rumors that when Cao Cao executed Yang Xiu in the future, he made a special trip to Yang Biao's door to pay homage to Yang Biao.
Biao gave a gift to apologize.
Later, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and wanted to grant Yang Biao the title of Taiwei again. Yang Biao regarded himself as a Han official and was unwilling to accept the official position of Cao Wei. He said to Cao Pi: "Biao prepares for the three Dukes of the Han Dynasty. The world is in chaos and cannot be of any help.
How can you praise the Reform Dynasty when you are sick in the year of your burial?" So he resolutely resigned. Cao Pi had no choice but to agree to his resignation.
As for Yang Xiu, Gao Shun was much familiar with him. He was a talented man who was proud of his talent, but died because of it. Yang Xiu was indeed very talented, and his literary talent was outstanding. Cao Zhi was friends with him and often praised his literary talent. Unfortunately, this man's character
He had flaws and was eventually tolerated by Lao Cao.
When Yang Xiu saw him today, he showed a strong sense of provocation. How could such an arrogant person die well? Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Later generations often spoke of Yang Xiu's death with a sense of pity and pity. If Gao Shun had felt sorry for Yang Xiu before, then this regret was gone at this time.
The three of them continued walking and came to the place where the cultural gathering was held on the mountainside. They saw a father and son again. The father and son were slightly older than the Yang father and son. Both father and son were equally handsome and elegant in temperament.
Noble people.
After seeing the father and son, Guo Jia and Xun Nian immediately went to pay homage to the old man among them. Gao Shun, having learned from Yang Biao's mistakes, did not dare to neglect at all and followed Guo Jia to pay homage.
This old man was a bit more approachable than Yang Biao, and he smiled and replied with a few words of praise for the younger generation. The young people around him did not have the arrogance of Yang Xiu at all. When they heard the names of Gao Shun and Guo Jia, they were just curious.
He looked at them twice, and then stood quietly beside the old man.
After being separated from each other, Gao Shun went to ask Guo Jia's father and son as usual.
Guo Jia continued to sweat profusely. Seeing you following him to the ceremony, he thought you knew them, but it turned out you still knew nothing about them.
Gao Shun soon learned that the old man's name was Chen Ji and the young man's name was Chen Qun.
The Yingchuan Chen family is a powerful family that stands side by side with the Xun family!
Gao Shun didn't have much impression of Chen Ji, but he was indeed very famous in the world. You only need to tell one thing to know how high his reputation is. In the original history, Yuan Shao was in Jian'an Yuan Dynasty
In 196 AD, he was awarded the title of Taiwei, but he felt that he was not qualified and insisted on giving up the position of Taiwei to Chen Ji. Of course, after several concessions, Chen Ji finally refused, but
It also shows what kind of reputation and status he holds.
Although Gao Shun didn't know much about Chen Qun, he also knew that he was the founder of the Ninth-grade Zhongzheng system. However, Gao Shun's impression of this Ninth-grade Zhongzheng system was definitely not good.
In the era of "poor people, low-ranking people have no aristocratic family", no matter how talented you are, as long as you have no family background, you are destined to be unable to gain access to a higher level. Cao Cao issued meritocracy orders three times, and the measures to value talents from poor families were abandoned.
