"Boya, what are you thinking about? I didn't hear you speak when I saw the city gate tower just now. You didn't even respond to me when I was chatting. Could it be that this is your first time in Luoyang and you're shocked by this scale?”
Liu Bei saw that Li Tian had been lost in thought for a long time and couldn't help but poke him with the whip.
"Oh, it's nothing. I really haven't seen this kind of world before, so I lost my composure for a moment.”
Li Tian wasn't ashamed and admitted it.
Hearing this, Qushou, who was at the side, also put on the posture of an elder and commented,
"Boya, you're quite knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
However, reading alone was not enough. One had to experience the world to become a great sage.
Fortunately, you're still young and have plenty of time.”
"Thank you for your guidance."
Li Tian agreed.
During the three days on the road, Ju Shou's attitude towards Liu Bei and Li Tian had improved a lot.
Li Tian didn't know how to make friends. He only knew how to do things professionally, so he had to thank Liu Bei for making friends.
Liu Bei's EQ was really high, and Li Tian could tell.
The current Liu Bei had not developed much ambition.
He sincerely supported the Han Dynasty, so under his sincere sincerity and generosity, his impression of them gradually improved.
Most of Yuan Shao's strategists in the later generations only paid attention to the interests of the aristocratic families and did not pay much attention to the Han Dynasty.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Yuan Shao with such a single-minded mind.
However, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were considered to be more respectful of the aristocratic families and the Han Dynasty.
Before the battle of Guandu, only Tian Feng and Ju Shou advised Yuan Shao on the justice of the war.
They believed that there was no reason to directly crusade against Cao Cao. Instead, they should first send an envoy to the court to report the achievement of "finally destroying the traitor Gongsun Zan".
When Cao Cao obstructed them from the middle, they seized the evidence of Cao Cao's "renting and blocking the way of speech" to prove that Cao Cao was "holding the emperor" instead of "serving the emperor".
Only then can we attack Cao Cao on a large scale.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao himself did not respect the Han Dynasty, nor did he care about the name of righteousness, so he did not listen to Tian Feng's instructions.
Therefore, after a few days of interaction, Li Tian began to consider a possibility:
Qiushou's status was even higher than Liu Bei's. Was it possible to use his respect for the Han Dynasty to finally win Qiushou over?
It was very difficult.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it was not as difficult as pulling Zhang He back. After all, there was still a glimmer of hope.
The key was that Ju Shou had never been Liu Bei's direct leader.
Even though Ju Shou's current official rank was high, both sides were still colleagues.
This was a bit like a big company. Liu Bei was like the deputy manager of the R D department.
Zhang He was currently the manager.
If Liu Bei made a great contribution, developed a new technology that could save the company, and eventually climbed up to the director, president, and chairman, then Zhang He would definitely not be able to stay any longer and would want to jump ship.
Because the deputy manager of the R D department relied on research and development to become the chairman, it meant that the main manager was incompetent and climbed up by stepping on his face.
However, Ju Shou was like a sales manager. Although his level was higher than Liu Bei's, they belonged to different systems.
A sales boss was more likely to accept the rise of a hero in the R D line and eventually become the chairman.
He still had to continue to spend effort to make friends with Jushou. He should not give up.
……
The group of people slowly rode their horses for another hundred meters. Suddenly, Qiushou remembered something and asked,
"No!
Boya, this is your first time in Luoyang?
That's impossible. I've seen the documents you wrote. The words are obviously Cai Boyan's style.
If you have never been to Luoyang, where did you copy the words from the Imperial College Stone Scripture?”
Li Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this question.
He did not expect such a small matter to leave a flaw.
It turned out that he had some knowledge of the Han Dynasty official script in his later life. Therefore, after he transmigrated and became familiar with writing, he could not help but rely on the Han Li script he had seen in his later life.
As for the Han Li that was passed down in the later generations, without exception, they all came from sources such as the Xi Ping Stone Scripture. The other Han Li had long since disappeared.
However, during the Zhongping period, there were actually many different styles of writing in the world. These styles were not only different in terms of style and art, but even the common characters were different.
When the Xi Ping Stone Scripture was engraved, a large part of the work was to adjust the characters, and many characters had six or seven versions.
This was equivalent to saying that since Qin Shihuang's "carriage on the same track, book on the same text", more than four hundred years later,
In fact, there were many ancient characters that were circulated among the people.
Many of them were created from rumors in the past 400 years.
Li Tian's calligraphy skills were far inferior to Cai Yong's, and his handwriting was still a little crooked.
But because all the words he wrote were from Cai Yong's line,
Therefore, just by looking at the rules of his choice of false characters, he could tell that he had learned the Xi Ping Stone Scripture, which was why he suspected that he had been to Luoyang.
Li Tian quickly came up with an excuse,"
"He was the former secretary of Zhongshan's post office, my teacher, Mister Hu Maohu. He came to Luoyang before his death and copied the style of the Imperial College's stone stele, so I learned it from him.”
Hearing this, Qiushou didn't continue to question him, but he said with some respect,"
"I didn't think that a mere official could be so rigorous in his studies, bringing his own money to the capital just to copy books.
It was a pity. If he hadn't been killed, he might have had the chance to become a virtuous and upright person.
Since that's the case, after the official business is settled, Boya, you can go to the Imperial College to pay your respects and correct your mistakes. It can also be considered as comforting your teacher's spirit in heaven.
Although your handwriting is authentic, your strokes are too ugly!”
"I will remember your teachings."
Li Tian was happy to accept this suggestion.
It couldn't be helped. Who asked him to practice calligraphy so little in his previous life?
It was definitely too late to copy. There were more than 200,000 words, and copying might not be beautiful.
However, he was someone from the later generations, so he could use the rubbing method to secretly copy the inscription.
Even though he couldn't invent movable type printing yet, it was still quite easy to invent engraving or even just rubbing.
As the group chatted, they arrived at the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
The Chamberlain of Dependencies was one of the nine chancellors who was in charge of the vassal states and the yamen where the local emissaries met and reported.
Jiashou was sent by Jia Cong, and the yamen responsible for receiving him was Honglu Temple.
Ju Shou went in first, completed the procedures, handed in the form, and followed the procedures. Li Tian and Liu Bei were not qualified to enter.
They had to wait until the main officials in charge of the military and the rebellion in the court needed to be interrogated before they were qualified to meet.
Liu Li waited for a while before Ju Shou finished the formalities. After he came out, he shook his head and sighed.
"His Majesty has ignored the government and has come to this!
This matter involved a rebellion, but he didn't even personally investigate.
It was estimated that this matter could only be reported to Zhongchang Shi Jian Shuo and General He Jin.
We'll wait for them to summon us and ask about the details. I don't think we'll have the chance to meet you.”
Liu Bei was shocked.
He was not qualified to come into contact with such a high-ranking official. This was also the first time he heard that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could ignore matters to such an extent.
Then the Emperor probably didn't know about the rewards of the leaders and emissaries.
Perhaps He Jin or the Ten Attendants would decide after a casual discussion.
How aggrieved.
Forget it, let's wait for He Jin to summon him.
Liu Bei did not want to see the Ten Generals at all.
Because I can't wait to be summoned,
While Qiushou was running back and forth, Liu Bei and Li Tian were temporarily idle.
With a window of one or two days, he could move around freely.
