After listening to Cai Yi, he said: "This kind of poetry style is really unheard of. Xiaoxian can create his own words, which is really a great talent. I think you have a good character, modesty and courtesy. If you don't dislike it, how about accepting you as an apprentice?" Chen Yaotian Can't help being happy, Cai Yi is a great Confucianist in the world, and those who want to join his sect are like crucian carp crossing the river, there is no reason why he would not want to.He knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed his head three times, and said, "Disciple Chen Xiaoxian, pay homage to the master." Cai Yi stroked his beard and received the three worships, then helped him up, and said with a big laugh, "Your disciple is like this. What are you asking for! Haha..."

The Yuan brothers saw that Chen Yaotian was not only showing off, but also worshiped Master Cai as his teacher, they groaned angrily and flung their sleeves away.

After Chen Yaotian came back from participating in the poetry meeting, life began to go back to normal.Occasionally go to Cai Yi, the master's house, to chat about poetry, and from time to time to go out to drink flower wine with Uncle Xun Yu and his nephew.It is worth mentioning that since the last time Cao Cao and Chen Yao lost in chess, they often came to ask to play a few more games to avenge the last time.Chen Yaotian was free anyway, so he naturally agreed.

One day, He Jin came to the court early to wait for the morning court!After a while, officials from the DPRK and China arrived one after another, lined up on both sides.At this time, a eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "The emperor is here." All the officials immediately fell to their knees and shouted "Long live my emperor".Emperor Ling came to Hu's bed, sat down on his knees, waved his dragon robe and said, "Everyone loves you." All the officials got up.Seeing that the emperor was sitting upright, the eunuch said again: "There is something to play, and nothing to leave the court." He Jin went out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say." He replied: "The lack of officials in Youzhou in the north is serious, and the management is chaotic. I implore the emperor to send officials to manage it."

"I don't know if any of you lovers have recommendations?" Lingdi asked.

An official who had secretly colluded with He Jin came out and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend a person named Chen Yaotian, whose style name is Xiaoxian. This person has learned a lot and created a new literary expression called Ci. He is now in Luoyang. The Shui Tiao song head passed down in the mouth of the city came from him, which shows that his talent and learning are indeed extraordinary. He also has a passion for blood. He once said that men should be like Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others, attacking the Xiongnu, resisting Xianbei, and promoting I am Tianwei." After the official finished speaking, the ministers who had good friends with He Jin immediately came out to respond.After Lingdi listened, he turned around and asked Zhang Rang, "Rang Father, have you heard of this person?" Zhang Rang naturally spoke for Chen Yaotian.

Seeing that both Zhang Rang and He Jin were speaking for Chen Yaotian, Emperor Ling said: "I never thought there would be such a talented and ambitious young man in the world. A man of filial piety. "Bring a eunuch, and continued: "I want to meet him in person, so go and tell him to go to the pilgrimage!" The eunuch took the order and left.

Chen Yaotian was playing chess with Xi Zhicai at this time, and he was having a great time.Dian Wei entered the door and said: "Second brother, there is an eunuch coming to pass the decree. Go out and have a look!" Chen Yaotian and Xi Zhicai got up and came to the front, and saw a person dressed as an eunuch waiting there.He took out some money from his bosom, stepped forward and stuffed it out, and said: "This is Chen Yaotian, I have troubled my father-in-law to run errands in person, I don't know what it is?" Seeing that Chen Yaotian is very polite, the eunuch said with a smile: "My lords I recommend you to become an official in Youzhou, and the emperor wants to meet you in person. My family here will congratulate you first." Hearing the news from the emperor, Chen Yaotian immediately asked the eunuch to lead the way, and went straight to the palace.

Chen Yaotian came to the court hall, knelt down and shouted: "The grassroots Chen Yaotian kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Although Chen Yaotian entered the palace for the first time, he had watched dramas in the modern palace before, and he would not commit any crimes. What a crime of disrespect.Seeing that Chen Yaotian understood etiquette, Emperor Ling said, "Let's get down!" Chen Yaotian bowed and stood up, waiting for Emperor Ling to speak.

"I heard that you are talented and knowledgeable, and you care about the common people. Would you like to let you go to Shanggu County in Youzhou to serve as the prefect?" Chen Yaotian thought that it would be good to get a county magistrate. Overjoyed, he quickly knelt down to thank him.

"Let the father draw up the decree. Chen Yaotian is excellent in character and learning, full of enthusiasm, he is a good man of the Han Dynasty. I specially named him the prefect of Shanggu. He will go to the post within one year." All the ministers in the hall shouted "Your Majesty is wise".

Chen Yaotian came out from the palace and returned to the inn.They called Dianwei and Xi Zhicai, and announced excitedly: "Brother, Zhicai. The emperor appointed me as the prefect of Shanggu, and I have a chance to display my ambition." The two were also happy for Chen Yaotian, and Xi Zhicai asked: "Filial piety First of all, are you going to pack your bags and go to Shanggu County now, or do you have other ideas?" Chen Yaotian restrained his excitement and replied: "The emperor ordered me to go to the post within a year, and I can go to Shanggu County from Luoyang in two months at most. I I want to go home with Dian Wei, pick up his wife and children and go north together. Shanggu County is full of ruins, and there are foreign tribes making troubles from time to time. It will definitely be difficult for me to manage it alone. I will also visit some famous and chivalrous people along the way. Please He came out of the mountains to help." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said again: "Zhicai, you and I have known each other for a long time. Now a certain, as the governor of the county, invites you and me to go to Shanggu to benefit the people, are you willing?" Zhicai was very moved, and replied: "Xiaoxian, you care about the people, and I will help you with all your strength." After speaking, he stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Zhicai, see the lord."

"Haha... When I get ambition, it's like a fish in water. I'll thank you for the people of Shanggu first." Xi Zhicai didn't even dare to say.

"Master, Xun Yu and Uncle Xun You have great talents, have you ever thought about inviting them to Shanggu together?" Xi Zhicai quickly entered the role and began to recommend talents for Chen Yaotian.

Chen Yaotian replied: "How can I not know the talents of the two of them, and why I don't know how to invite each other, can Zhicai teach me?" Xi Zhicai replied: "Both of them and I have known each other in the early years, why don't I go Let's invite!"

"It's so dishonest. Why don't you and I go together." Seeing that Chen Yaotian was so thirsty for talent, Xi Zhicai agreed.The two tidied up and came to the residence of Xun Yu's uncle and nephew.

After the tea was served, Xun Yu said: "I heard that the emperor ordered Xiaoxian to be the prefect of Shanggu, and was about to come to congratulate him. I didn't expect Xiaoxian to come here. I'm here to congratulate you." I didn't expect myself The news of becoming an official spread so quickly, the two of them knew about it just after Chen Yaotian came out of the palace.Chen Yaotian got up and was modest, and then the few people chatted about poetry, Xi Zhi finally got into the topic and said: "Wen Ruo, Gong Da, what do you two think of my master?"

"Xiaoxian is not only outstanding in talent and learning, extraordinary in martial arts, but also has great ambitions. What's more rare is that he cares about the people. He is a dragon and a phoenix among people. Now that he is appointed as the prefect of Shanggu, he will definitely be able to publicize the might of the emperor and benefit the people." The two Having known Chen Yaotian for many days, he quickly gave an evaluation.

Xi Zhicai then said again: "That's right, my lord's talent and knowledge of martial arts are extraordinary. It's just that the prestige of the Han Dynasty is gradually decreasing, and the Wuhuan Xianbei and other tribes in the north are eager to move and plunder the people from time to time. Shanggu is the northernmost part of the country, and the people are even more poisoned. The lord has no foundation and lacks great talents to help, it can be said that there is a long way to go!"
