Chapter 174 Fame
A few days later, there was a wine shop in An 6. In a certain private room, Yuwen Wen was having a banquet. The guest was Zheng Yi, the Duke of Peiguo who was temporarily living in An 6. He was accompanied by Sima Yang Ji, the general manager of Huangzhou. In addition, there were several officials, who were responsible for surveillance.

Of course, the one they monitored was Zheng Yi. This person had a special identity. Even Yuwen Wen, who had no one dared to take care of, had to pay attention, so he was happy that someone would testify on the spot, so he would not criticize him for having any problems with his character.
"Are Pei Gong used to living in An 6?"
"If you are tired, Mr. Wu is worried about it, except for too much rain, everything else is fine."
"This is like this in the Han Mian area. The plum rain season is really annoying." Yuwen Wen smiled, "This is Huangzhou ham, which has a good flavor. Pei Gong needs to taste a few more."
Wine and drink, and even though they can't relax too much, Yu Wenwen, who has the ability to eat, drink and have fun, made the atmosphere on the scene good with "co-education" Zheng Yi.
When Emperor Tianyuan was assassinated, Yuwen Yun was assassinated, and the assassin Yuwen Wen is now here; then Yang Jian seized power and slaughtered the Yuwen royal family. Zheng Yi, one of the accomplices, is here now. No one knows the first one, and the latter is well-known.
Duke of Pei, Zheng Yi, Duke of Huang, Liu Fang, was the biggest accomplice of Yang Jian's seizure of power. King Zhao, Yuwen Zhao and other royal vassal kings later died. The current little emperor Yuwen Qiankeng, as long as he thinks of what happened back then, he inevitably thinks of the "Pei Huang" who is colluding with each other.
Liu Fang died on the night of supporting Zhou's army to enter Chang'an. Only Zheng Yi, who was temporarily "anyway", has survived to this day. It is really hard to accept that the royal family member Yuwen Wen actually drank and talked with him.
Yang Ji was one of them. Of course, he concealed what he thought well. After all, he had never seen any big scenes before when he was walking in the royal family for so many years, so he was naturally very capable of making scenes.
When Zhou army entered Chang'an, Zheng Yi was not shown to the public. He wanted to be an example, just like the story of Liu Bang and Yong Chi of Emperor Gaozu of Han, who wanted to reassure those fencemen, but he felt that Yuwen Wen did not need to make him mess up.
The dozens of lives of the royal family have indirect relationship with Zheng Yi. The little emperor would think of the collusion "Pei Huang" from time to time. Yuwen Wen and this person were both bad and no good.
People will be criticized and forget the clan's hatred, misunderstood by the little emperor, and even be believed by the world to be like-minded by Yuwen Wen and Zheng Yi. What can you get after paying this price?
In order to attract talents, Yang Ji could understand that he wanted a thousand yuan to buy horse bones, but Yuwen Wen "buyed" Zheng Yi, the "horse bones" that smelled ten miles in the wind, were really...
When the pipa sounded, Yuwen Wen held the pipa and sang. He began to discuss the techniques of the Western Regions pipa with Zheng Yi. Although Zheng Yi had problems with his character and official character, his musical attainments were unknown.
In this era, when playing the pipa, you use a pulling zi to pluck the strings, and the technique Yuwen Wen asked for was to pluck the strings directly with his fingers. Of course, this is also the mainstream playing technique of pipa after the Tang Dynasty.
Pipa is the collective name of pipa. Pipa was originally the name of playing techniques. Pipa (pipa) is to play forward with the right hand, and Pa (pipa) is to pick backward with the right hand, and then it is to pick the pipa (pipa).
The pipa at this time does not specifically refer to a certain type of musical instrument. Any musical instrument that involves "pipa" and "pa" can be called a pipa.
The pipa that Yuwen Wen held in his hand was the Hu pipa of the Western Regions. Because it was introduced into the Central Plains through Kucha, it is also called the Kucha pipa. Unlike the straight-necked pipa in the Central Plains, the Hu pipa is a curved nude, the number of strings is different, and the tone played is slightly different.
The fingering method of the pipa is also divided into left and right fingering methods. There are dozens of them in total, so it is naturally impossible to learn it at the banquet. Yuwen Wen just warmed up first. After all, he was doing nothing in An 6 and happened to ask the "experts" for advice.
It is also a reason to avoid the possibility of being criticized by Zheng Yi for no reason. After all, it is normal to play the pipa these days, and even the pipa is a common musical instrument in the army. "Grape wine luminous cup, and if you want to drink the pipa, you will urge it immediately" is a portrayal of military life in this era.
Yuwen Wen was not afraid of criticism and specially treated him. Zheng Yi was naturally grateful. After arriving at An 6, he thought that Yuwen Wen had no news at this point, and never thought that the other party had not forgotten him.
The reason why Zheng Yi followed Yuwen Wen to Shannan was to fade out of people's sight, especially not wanting to attract the attention of the upper class of the Zhou court. Once people remembered and thoughtful, he would have to lose his skin even if he didn't die.
But in An 6's life was like house arrest. The officials who monitored him looked so good. Today, Yuwen Wen treated him to a guest, just to show a gesture to let the officials know that Zheng Yi was still "worrying".
With this relationship, the officials would not and dare not oppress Zheng Yi, so Zheng Yi, who knew it, also reciprocate and carefully taught Hu Pipa's playing techniques. After all, his life is now based on Yuwen Wen.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Wen, married Ashina, the daughter of the Turkic Khan. There was a group of Kucha musicians in the dowry. Among them, the man named Su Zhipo was a musician who was good at playing Hu Pipa. Zheng Yi asked him for advice and gained a lot.
So Yuwen Wen wanted to learn, but he couldn't ask for it. He ate and drank in the singing room. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared and had enough wine and food. Zheng Yi returned to his residence with the officers, while Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji returned home.
On the carriage, Yang Ji asked why this was the case. According to the routine of the past, Yuwen Wen began to tell stories.
The A-Dong family is a talented person from the aristocratic family. They treat the shopkeeper like brothers. They usually say that they are brothers and get along with each other, eat, drink and have fun together. They have a headache and fever, and are concerned about their well-being, and are as warm as their own family.
Only the topic of promotion and salary increase is never discussed. The shopkeeper and the clerk are embarrassed to mention it: Everyone has such a good relationship, and talking about money hurts feelings!
Dong Yi's family has a bad background and is not polite. They like to talk to others while picking their feet. They often turn into the "Roaring King" and can scold the shopkeeper in public so that they can't come to Taiwan.
Don’t even think about eating and drinking together. You have to take leave when you are sick? Have you finished your work? If you don’t, don’t approve your leave!
It seems like a bad guy, but the rewards and punishments are clear. As long as you do well, you will never be vague when you get a promotion and salary increase. You will get a one-year salary bonus at the end of the year. There are also opportunities to draw lottery tickets at the top of your performance, and there are prizes ranging from houses to beauties.
As a guy, who are you willing to do things under?
Yang Ji remained silent. He felt that Yuwen Wen was in trouble. Nowadays, there are bosses who like to "talk to talk to people while picking their feet"?
"Why don't others think about it? Anyway, I am willing to do things under Dong B's family. There is no other way, and I have a chance."
This is what Yuwen Wen said. In that era, he needed money, to buy a house, a car, and to gain a foothold in big cities, so that he could have the confidence to pursue the goddess in his heart.
People have desires, and it is normal to seek fame and fortune. The boss’s own character is second, mainly to bring what he or she has to his or her employees.
For fame and fortune, everyone follows the boss to strive for careers, isn’t it just to improve their living conditions? You call me brothers but don’t get promoted and raise wages. I can’t live in a rental house for the rest of my life with the fifth girl, right?
Where is the gift? Where is the house? Where is the luxury car fleet that picks up the bride? Where is the wedding banquet in a luxury hotel? The future mother-in-law's face is really hard for the boss!
Of course, this is just what I think, but what I say is another set of rhetoric. He asked Yang Ji: "If someone comes to join me, it is not for fame and fortune, is it because I play the pipa nicely?"
"As long as we can achieve the purpose of promotion and wealth, will this reputation be almost related to them?"
Your pipa is like a monkey whispering bamboo silk, how good it sounds!
Yang Ji complained deeply, but he understood the truth, but he still had different opinions: "Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law and received gold, which would not affect Emperor Gaozu of Han's use, but Chen Ping's reputation was not as bad as Zheng Yi today."
"Zheng Yi's reputation is not necessarily safe, but I may not be able to protect him, but he has a skill, so I am willing to protect him for as long as I can. What does this mean?"
"It means that the Duke forgot the grudge of his clan and forgot the pain in His Majesty's heart."
"I'm in exchange for an opportunity. People with flaws may be willing to come and join me, which is enough."
Yuwen Wen rarely said what he said in his heart. Yang Ji is a reliable person. If someone else hadn't said that, he wouldn't have said it. After all, he would have to silence him after saying it.
"The talents who want to make a name for themselves in the Central Plains will choose to join the Yuchi family, followed by my father, and I, haha, the Guanlong clan and the Shandong high-ranking families, and the Jiangnan gentry, who is the original man?"
"The poor children are the only hope of me at present, but they dare not take risks because they don't know what my husband's style of doing, is he unable to tolerate sand in his eyes or is he with the light?"
"The conflict between Yuwen and Yuchi will become increasingly greater. I don't know what the end will be. The aristocratic families may wait and see, and the inferior gentry dare not bet easily. Who dares to take risks? Who is not for fame and fortune?"
"If you join the Yuchi family, you have low risk and high chance of winning but little profit. If you join the Yuwen family, you have high risks and low chance of winning but have a lot of profits. They dare not compete with Duke Qi, so the prince is the second choice, and I will follow."
"You are thinking about your late fiancée, so you don't get close to women and treat money like dirt, but how many people can do it?"
"Women, money, official positions, titles, and titles, are they just coming for these things?"
"As the prince, the elder brother must maintain the style of a humble gentleman, behave well and sit upright. As the saying goes, those who are bright and have a little flawed character, do you think he can do it?"
Yang Ji understood Yuwen Wen's current situation, and he also knew that his lack of talent must be solved, so Yuwen Wen's words convinced him.
Speaking of this, Yuwen Wen's attitude is already very obvious. He can't compete with his brother Yu Wenming when he takes a serious approach to recruit talents, so even if he risks being criticized by the world, he has to find a way to start his own tricks.
Zheng Yi, who is smelling ten miles away from the wind, can get some protection from Yu Wen Wen by teaching the pipa skills. So what about the others?
