Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 402 Celebrities from the North and South gather together

"...I have introduced you to the celebrities in Qingzhou. Next are our celebrities in Xuzhou. This is Mei Xian, a famous scholar in Guangling, and this is his friend Zhou An. This person has become famous in Guangling for more than a year. It gets louder and louder, oh, by the way, if Brother Zhou is strictly counted, he is still from Yangzhou, but he has lived in Guangling [note] for a long time, so he is half a fellow countryman."

After Zhang Yong led Chen Zhi in, he introduced the people in the room to him.

This banquet is said to be a banquet, but the number of people in this banquet is actually very small, only a dozen people. According to the standards of scholars, there will not be a group of people around a table at this time, but a single table per person, so there are only A slightly larger Accord is enough.

There were not many people, and it was easy to identify. With Zhang Yong's introduction, Chen Zhi roughly understood that most of the people who came here today were actually northern gentry. Qingzhou and Yanzhou had the largest number of people, and there were also many celebrities in Xuzhou, but most of them They were all from Chen Zhi, such as Zhang Yong, Liu Kan, Xiao Zuo and others. At this time, these people seemed to be doing their best to serve as landlords, and there was no need to introduce Chen Zhi.

Therefore, after introducing the celebrities in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Zhang Yong felt much more relaxed when he introduced the celebrities in Xuzhou. After the words fell, he pointed to another person and said, "This is the little fairy you were talking about earlier, Mr. Chen." Mr. Ge."

Ge Hong!

Chen Zhi's heart was moved, and he looked around. What he saw was a man with a calm look, with a long beard and a long robe. He was following Zhang Yong's words and bowed his hands in greeting, but there was not much awe and respect in his expression. But it doesn't make you feel rude, it has a soft and natural feeling that makes people approachable. This is a feeling that comes from tolerance.

"I have heard about the little immortal man for a long time, but I have never been able to visit him. I am very sorry." Chen Zhi observed the other person calmly while speaking words of praise.

His words were not polite, but the true feelings in his heart, because he had heard the name Ge Hong in his first life, and many literary and artistic works also involved this character. In this life, he is After recovering, I heard this name occasionally, and it was accompanied by all kinds of legendary stories, which were of course very popular.

Ge Hong smiled and shook his head and said: "How can my reputation be compared with Chen Jun's? Moreover, there are many contents in Chen Jun's articles, which I admire. If I really want to visit, I will also visit you. To be honest, in the previous Xingtan discussion, I also went there just because I wanted to meet Mr. Chen, but unfortunately I was unable to do so in the end."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Zhi was quite surprised. He didn't expect that this famous figure would praise him so much, and he didn't expect that he would go to Xingtan Forum to discuss it. You know, before this, there were rumors that this little immortal was writing in retreat.

Sure enough, Zhang Yong also said in surprise: "Is there such a thing? Mr. Ge, I didn't expect you to leave seclusion so early and go to Qingzhou. Then when you pass by, you should notify me. One sound."

When Ge Hong heard this, he smiled and said nothing.

However, there are some sensible people who know very well that although Ge Hong does not have any official position at the moment, he has a very high reputation. I heard that even several county guards in Jiangzuo have visited him and wanted to invite him to come out, even if it is not Assisting oneself and just raising one by the side is also a matter of increasing one's reputation, but in the end they all come back in vain, and some people don't even see Ge Hong's face.

Compared with people like this, Zhang Yong really didn't see any qualifications. He asked Ge Hong to inform him when he was crossing the border. This was just a polite word, which was a bit of a emblem for himself.

Because of this, when many people came to their senses, they all felt that the situation was a bit embarrassing, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird. Liu Kan, who was standing next to him, saw that something was wrong, so he quickly took over the conversation and pointed at the person next to Ge Hong. Said: "This is Bao Jingyan, Mr. Bao, a good friend of Mr. Ge. He is also famous in the Jiangzuo area. He is also a master of Taoism, and he also studies the way of wealth. He came here this time because of Chen Jun. Relationship."

"Bao Jingyan?" Hearing this name, Chen Zhi's heart moved slightly. He felt as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. Then he understood that it was probably his first life that he had heard of him somewhere. name.

You know, although Chen Zhi did not draw the corresponding lottery in this life, he still left part of his photographic memory in his previous life. Therefore, his memory is very good. Maybe he will forget it as time goes by, but in the past year or so, He remembers things relatively clearly, so the things he can't remember are either from his previous life or from his first life. They are memories that were already blurred before he acquired the ability to have photographic memory.

"Those who can leave their names in future generations must not be simple, but I can't remember them all. I wonder if this Bao Jingyan has any extraordinary abilities, or has he done something amazing? Liu Kan said that he is rich Could it be that the talent of the goods is relied on to leave a name for future generations?"

Chen Zhi was thinking in his heart, but on the surface he still greeted him affectionately, but he did not pretend to say that he had long admired him, but said that he would have a good talk with Bao Jingyan later and ask for advice.

Bao Jingyan is a man with a Chinese character face and a calm demeanor. He smiled and said: "I want to talk to you, Mr. Chen, but I dare not say what I want to teach you. I just know that Mr. Chen, you often do extraordinary things. So I came here to visit. Apart from other things, the commentaries you advocated in Luoyang are really wonderful ideas, and I was greatly inspired by the profound meanings in them."

Did the comments inspire him?
This statement surprised Chen Zhi, because Chen Zhi briefly exchanged a few sentences with the celebrities he introduced just now, and they all explained their reasons for visiting Chen Zhi.

On such occasions, even if they are just polite words, what they say must be what they think Chen Zhi is most proud of. Therefore, the celebrities in Yanzhou and Qingzhou are talking about Chen Zhi's reputation and the apricot altar in Qingzhou. On Taoism, people in Xuzhou talked about Chen Zhi's help to the Chen family and several of his articles.

As for Ge Hong, he made it clear that it was the content of Chen Zhi's article that made him want to visit.

Only this Bao Jingyan mentioned Chen Zhi's comments in Luoyang.You must know that although Chen Zhi gained a lot from these comments, in the eyes of ordinary celebrities, such business practices are actually not as useful as academics and doctrines, so they do not think that this will be Chen Zhi's pride.

Of course, now is not the time to delve deeper, so after seeing each other, Chen Zhi's eyes fell on the last two people.

Zhang Yong then introduced again: "These two are somewhat related to you, Mr. Chen." He smiled, and didn't let Chen Zhijiu wait, so he revealed the mystery: "They are famous scholars from Youji. This person is called Shujiao, a native of Yuancheng, Yangping, and his articles are well-known in many places. Last year, after Chen Jun left, Shu Jun’s articles became popular in the Xingtan Forum last year!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Before Chen Zhi could speak, the friend waved his hand and shook his head: "How dare you compare yourself to Mengjun? My article was only favored by a few elders and venerables. I am not a man of influence. Moreover, the article has been prepared a long time ago. It's just a selection of articles to be published in Xingtan Forum, and it is incomparable with articles such as "The Theory of Six Kingdoms" that can be passed down to future generations."

His words made many people praise him for being humble, but Shujiao just shook his head and said that he was not being modest, but speaking from the bottom of his heart.

After being polite, Chen Zhi finally had time to ask, "Mr. Shu, how do you and Mr. Guangwei call you?"

"It's the ancestor of the family!" Shu Jiao had been modest just now, and was even a little frightened by the praise. But as soon as Chen Zhi mentioned this name, his face immediately brightened, and his words contained a sense of pride.

The Guangwei Gong mentioned by Chen Zhi, whose name was Shuxi and whose courtesy name was Guangwei, was a famous Confucian and Confucian scholar in the past. He was also an erudite scholar and had served as an official. However, he eventually retired to teach disciples, and his peaches and plums were all over the world. In the north, In particular, the land of Yanzhao in Hebei is extremely famous. Even though he has been dead for many years, he is still respected by others.

Shu Jiao was the grandson of Shu Xi, so no matter how knowledgeable he was, just because of his status, he had considerable influence.

"If it's done properly, it might even become a powerful banner and help me recruit a lot of talents." In an instant, Chen Zhi had the idea of ​​recruiting in his mind, "But there's no rush, since he shows up In fact, there should be similar thoughts here, I will first find out what he means."

With this in mind, Chen Zhi was not in a hurry to say more, but after a few polite words, he turned his attention to the other person.

The old man was young, but the second man was a little older, and his expression was more calm, and Chen Zhi could see a few hints of familiarity in this man's brows.

Zhang Yongze introduced from the side: "This Zhang Kang and Zhang Jun are from Anping. Brother Chen should be able to think of something, right?"

"Anping the Zhang family?" Chen Zhi's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what the relationship is with Zhang Shilang?" The Zhang Shilang that Chen Zhi mentioned was actually Zhang Zai, the Zhongshu Shilang.

This Zhang Zai is not the Mr. Hengqu of later generations, but a wise man from the New Han Dynasty. He also held the official position of Shulang, so when he was the minister of Zhongshu, he often went to the East and West Gardens, plus He has a wide range of friends and is good friends with many masters, so he also has contacts with Chen Zhi. Now when he heard the introduction, he immediately discovered that the familiar look between his high eyebrows was similar to Zhang Zai's?

"That's my brother!" Zhang Kang's next words made Chen Zhi understand the reason, and when he looked at the other person's expression, he saw a change.

Zhang Zai's status was also very high in the court, but it was not reflected in his authority, but in his reputation and connections. Moreover, he was a scholar with many works and far-reaching influence.

With this thought in mind, Chen Zhi looked at the people in front of him, and his feeling suddenly changed.

"If you don't want to talk about anything else, let's just say that this piece of Kang and Shujiao has extraordinary significance to the people of Yanzhao. In addition, Ge Hong and Bao Jingyan gathered together for a small Pengcheng banquet. There are so many famous people in our country! If we can recruit them all, how much effort and energy will it save me to go north?"

　Note: Guangling is located close to today's Yangzhou, but Yangzhou during the New Han Dynasty was south of the Yangtze River and was a state-level administrative unit parallel to Xuzhou.

　　I have something to do tonight, I will revise it tomorrow.
