Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8
"Brother Wei, can you compose poetry? I don't think I've seen you compose lyrics before, and you seem to be able to tell stories. What if you can't do anything?" Cai Yan on the carriage kept saying something. asked.Regardless of Liu Wei's head covered with black lines.

"Cough! Cough!" Cai Yong couldn't stand it anymore, "Ji'er stop making trouble, sit here and don't disturb Ziyan's reading." Cai Yong called Cai Yan to his side.Cai Yong was very troubled by the fact that Cai Yan was pestering Liu Wei. Ever since Cai Yan heard about Liu Wei's way of governing the country, his daughter seemed to be a different person. She used to ignore any son , but now he is pestering Liu Wei all day long.

In Cai Yong's thinking, several people came outside the imperial city. It turned out that this meeting was held in the imperial city, and only those who were the children of officials and disciples of famous teachers and scholars could participate.

When I got out of the car, I saw many people walking towards the palace. Several middle-aged men saw Cai Yong get off the car and walked towards Cai Yong. The leader looked at Cai Yong and laughed: "Old man Cai, how can you?" It's late, I heard that there are many young talents this year, but I don't know which one can enter your Dharma eye and become your closed disciple."

Cai Yong stared at him: "How can ordinary people be my closed disciples? I don't need to worry about this, I'm already a closed disciple."

"Zi Yan, don't hesitate to meet Lu Yilang. This is the officer Ma Rixun, the admonisher, this is Cui Yan, and this is the teacher of Prince Wang Yun..." Cai Yong pushed Liu Wei to Lu Zhi and In front of a group of Confucian scholars.

"Student Liu Wei has met you adults." Liu Wei bowed to the group of Confucian scholars.Then he retreated to Cai Yong's side.

"This high-ranking apprentice of Bo Jie is a good-looking talent, but I don't know if he can make poems." Cai Yong was greeting everyone when he heard the piercing voice. Looking up, he saw Grand Tutor Yuan Kui leading two people away. Came over and sarcastically said to Cai Yong.

Liu Wei looked at the two people following Yuan Kui, one was Yuan Shu, who was making fun of him that day, looking at Liu Wei with a mocking expression, while the other Liu Wei didn't know him, but he could guess who it was. It should be Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

At this time, Cai Yong looked at Yuan Kui, "ignoring Yuan Kui, turned around and led Liu Wei and Cai Yan into the palace, and the officials from Cai Yong's faction hurriedly greeted Yuan Kui and went in.

On the way, Cai Yong lowered his voice and said to Liu Wei: "Zi Yan, it's up to you whether you can express yourself as a teacher today, as long as you can suppress the Yuan brothers."

"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely take down the No. 1 of the Wendou Conference for you today. Hehe!" Liu Weile was happy, and today he wanted to make his name known, at least his statement had to be spread throughout Luoyang, As far as the level of poetry in this era is far from the ancient poetry in my head.

"You brat, you know how to brag." Cai Yong gave Liu Wei a white look.Ignore Liu Wei and walk straight to the Academy.

Entering the main hall, it is divided into several areas. The main seat in the hall is reserved for the emperor and queen, and the front row area is for the ministers of the court.On the right are the ladies who came to watch, and on the left are the seats of these gentlemen.Liu Wei chose a remote corner and sat down. Just as he sat down, he saw a black dwarf sitting next to him, thinking: "It's so ugly, whose son is this?" The dwarf said to Liu Wei: "Cao Cao's name is Meng De, this man looks at the face, I don't know which family he is from?
"What, Cao Cao?" Liu Wei yelled in his heart, is Cao Cao just this dignified?But he still answered: "Liu Wei, the son of Qinghe King, is Ziyan, and now he is studying under Cai Yong."

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Ziyan is an excellent apprentice of Master Cai. He has admired him for a long time. I think he must have extraordinary literary talent. You must support me a lot in the future." Cao Cao smiled and approached Liu Wei.

Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao and thought, "No wonder this Cao Heizi can subdue so many strong generals and advisers. Just this sincere smile and those kind words can make people feel friendly, but if you know that I will treat your future subordinates The first fierce general was abducted, so I don’t know if you can still laugh.”

But Liu Wei also had a smile on his face: "Brother Meng De is polite, but this is the first time I come to this conference, I am not familiar with many young masters, I wonder if Brother Meng De can introduce them to me one by one?"

"What's the difficulty? Come on, come on, that tall and strong one is my good friend Bao Xin, that one over there is Yuan Shao, and that one is..." Cao Cao introduced everyone to Liu Wei, and also mentioned their father's official position. It's all said.

"Oh, thank you, Brother Meng De. I don't know how talented Brother Meng De is. Are you ready today?" Liu Wei thanked Cao Cao.

"Hey, brother, don't underestimate me. Although my literary talent is not number one in Luoyang, it is not comparable to ordinary people. But I don't plan to compete today. As for the reason, I don't want to ask , Hehe!" Cao Cao replied mysteriously.

"The emperor is here!" Liu Wei was about to say something when he heard a sharp cry.Then he saluted with everyone: "See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Only then did Liu Wei raise his head and look secretly at the middle-aged man in the dragon robe in front of him. He saw that this man was a little sick, but his eyes were full of wisdom, and he kept looking at the people below.

Suddenly one person stood up and bowed to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, now that all the officials and talents have arrived, we can start." Everyone saw that it was Wu Fu, the captain of Yueqi School.

"Well," Liu Hong nodded, and an eunuch shouted while pulling the duckling: "The Wendou Conference has officially started, all talented scholars are ready to listen to the questions."

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "When I came here, I saw the plum blossoms in the backyard blooming, so let's use plum blossoms as the title! Those who fail to do so will be punished with a glass of wine, and those who are outstanding in writing will be rewarded with a hundred taels of money."

The eunuch shouted again: "The emperor has a decree, today the theme is plum."

All the talented people below immediately lowered their heads and pondered, thinking hard, only Cao Cao and Liu Wei were still drinking and drinking calmly.

Suddenly, he saw a person salute Liu Hong in the middle of the aisle, and then said: "There is a lot of snow in winter,

There are fewer pedestrians on the road.

All the flowers withered,
Only the fragrance of plum blossoms. "Everyone regards him as Zhongliang, the nephew of Zhongji Zhongji.

After Zhongliang finished the poem, everyone nodded in praise, thinking that Zhongliang did a good job.

After Zhong Liang finished his work, he returned to his seat, and another person came forward to bow to Liu Hong and wrote a poem. After that, everyone came forward, some wrote poems and some wrote lyrics. In the end, Liu Wei was the only one who hadn’t finished writing. poetry.

Suddenly, Yuan Shu stood up and bowed to Liu Hong, then pointed at Liu Wei: "Liu Ziyan, why don't you write poems and don't drink alcohol? Could it be that you don't care about the Holy Majesty and want to deceive the King?"

At this time, Liu Hong also looked towards Liu Wei and felt that Liu Wei looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Yuan Gonggong, who said that I don't write poetry anymore? Not only do I want to do poetry, but I also want the number one position, but you say I don't write poetry. You are deceiving the emperor!" Liu Wei said angrily at Yuan Shu.

"Well, then you should do it. If you can't do it, you are cheating the emperor. I don't believe that you country bumpkin can make poems!" Yuan Shu also called out.

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes: "Then what if I did it? Does that mean that the crime of deceiving the emperor will fall on you?"

"This, this!" Yuan Shu also panicked now.

"Your Majesty, neither of these two intends to deceive the emperor. Why don't you bet a thousand taels of gold." Yuan Shao hurried out to smooth things over.Although the relationship with Yuan Shu is not good, but they are half-brothers after all, and they must be consistent with outsiders.

"Okay, let's see if Liu Wei can write a poem. If you do well, I will reward you with a BMW." Liu Hong became interested when he heard Liu Wei's tone.
