Chapter 90: Unparalleled eloquence

Chapter 90: Unparalleled Eloquence

The courtyard is winding and secluded. Qin Mi walked through the courtyard and walked through the path next to the lush woods. He heard Guo Jia's Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu's heartfelt laughter from afar.

He should have been puzzled. Guo Jia and Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, in their own different camp environments, may have stopped talking about the exchanges of respect, and laughed and talked happily in front of him, as if he had forgotten his identities.

But Qin Mi was relieved in a flash. His lord was an unexpected alternative. He could have such a bond with Xun Yu that outsiders could not understand, which was in line with Guo Jia's usual style.

Qin Mi came outside the pavilion, bowed to the three of them and remained silent. His appearance was enough to explain the purpose of the visit, and there was no need to worry about his lips and tongue.

It's time for Guo Jia to go back to Chengdu.

I stayed in Mount Emei for three days. If it were the past, there would be Xi Zhicai in Chengdu, so Qin Mi would naturally not disturb Guo Jia's Yaxing. But now Chengdu obviously needs Guo Jia to fight, and the accumulated official matters must be dealt with as soon as possible and cannot be delayed.

The three people who had a great conversation were still unsatisfied, but Guo Jia sighed: "Wenruo, I met you again after a long time, and I haven't had enough fun to reminisce about the past, but I want to say goodbye again. Alas, this chaotic world..."

Xun Yu smiled casually, looked at Guo Jia's sad expression, and said with a point of view: "Hey, this is a bad thing for worshipping Xiao. If it weren't for this troubled times, you and I would probably have been a mediocre life without a disease. It is because of the extraordinary times that there are countless extraordinary people who come into being. Although the prosperous times are good, many blindly follow the followers. Although the troubled times are dangerous, there are true insights that wise masters need to be able to show their strengths. In life, they can show their strengths and not end up in depression without falling into depressedness. This is a blessing for us."

Xi Zhicai nodded frequently and said calmly: "What Wen Ruo said is very consistent with my heart. Heroes come from troubled times, and the world is in chaos. The people suffer. If we have some strengths, we should stand up and help the world. Unfortunately, I have a crazy idea of ​​trying to create a peerless merit with three feet of Qingfeng in my hand."

Xun Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Why do you have to be rude to yourself? You have specialized in your skills and professions. Since ancient times, you can only quell the chaos and rule the world. Today, you will achieve filial piety. I am afraid that many unknown contributions will be yours."

In front of Guo Jia, Xun Yu did not avoid it.

Anyway, Guo Jia doesn't care, these are the truth. The three of them never hide their chats. Even when Guo Jia was a young man who mocked the gentry in front of Xun Yu, he didn't care about what Xun Yu would think after hearing this. Smart people would not be able to take the role by themselves, and they all knew it themselves.

"It's getting late, Zhicai, Wenruo and I will leave now. You can rest in the Tianshi Palace. When will Zuo Ci tell me that you are in good health? I will open the door in Chengdu to greet you."

This issue has no need to be discussed. Guo Jia would rather work hard to share more of Xi Zhicai’s original work than to return to Chengdu before his health has recovered.

"If I remember correctly, this person is Qin Zijie, right?"

Before leaving, Xun Yu turned his eyes to Qin Mi.

Qin Mi has been very talented in Yizhou since he was a child. Xun Yu heard of it occasionally but never met him.

At the banquet at Guo Jia's mansion, Xun Yu and Qin Mi met, and just greeted him like a dragonfly. On the way to Emei Mountain, Guo Jia and Xun Yu were on the same carriage, while Qin Mi and Cao Hong were on another carriage.

Now, Xun Yu is interested in Qin Mi.

Qin Mi has a gentle appearance and a very elegant temperament.

Even if a person like him enters the crowded crowd, he cannot hide his outstanding light.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. Xun Yu has a general understanding of the civil and military officials in Yizhou.

Just as his resignation to Cao Cao set an example for the Central Plains gentry, Qin Mi's resignation to Guo Jia also set a precedent for the Yizhou gentry. Although Cao Cao used power to suppress the gentry, he also had a large number of scholars. Guo Jia followed the rule of law, Cao Cao used all kinds of people to employ people, and Guo Jia established a talent selection system with the imperial examinations. In terms of role, Xun Yu was naturally more important than Qin Mi.

Xun Yu always pays attention to the intelligence in Yizhou, and even takes priority over the movements of the princes around the Central Plains.

There are some personal emotions in it, and he wants to know Guo Jia's every move.

There was a rebellion in Yizhou before. Before Zhang Baiqi, there was Xu He. That rebellion seriously damaged the vitality of the gentry and wealthy clan in Yizhou. After that, he was devastated and gradually cleared by Guo Jia. In this case, Qin Mi's family participated in the rebellion, and even the mastermind. This information could be obtained without any difficult means. The entire Yizhou officialdom was well aware of. When Guo Jia faced the rebellion, many years later, Xun Yu had a guess that perhaps Guo Jia was just to get Qin Mi's success.

Qin Mi may not be famous in the Central Plains, but in Yizhou, he is indeed famous among the scholars. Because of his effectiveness, the younger generation in Yizhou then compromised and bowed to Guo Jia, and eventually assimilated into the political group to which Guo Jia was affiliated. This is Qin Mi's value, but Xun Yu really wants to know what position Qin Mi personally holds in Guo Jia's eyes.

"Has Jun Xun Lingjun heard of the name of the following?"

Qin Mi just asked back politely. Xun Yu, who is the talented man of Wang Zuo, is very dazzling. Whether it is his current official position or his ability under Cao Cao, it is something that people have to admire. But Qin Mi naturally would not bow his back and lower his eyebrows in front of Xun Yu. Guo Jia and Xun Yu are friendly, which is a private relationship. Qin Mi and Xun Yu are not even aware of each other. There is only a camp confrontation between them.

Xun Yu, who was very thoughtful, heard the indifference in Qin Mi's words, shook his head and didn't want to say anything else. In terms of age, he was much older than Qin Mi, and there was no need to compete with the younger generation for fame and fortune. Moreover, he has always been modest and never arrogant.

Guo Jia showed a playful smile. Xun Yu mentioned Qin Mi's name in front of him. It was obvious that he was curious about Qin Mi. Guo Jia, who had his own style of observing words and expressions, knew Xun Yu very well. Since Xun Yu was interested, Guo Jia naturally did what he wanted.

Ahem.

After coughing softly, Guo Jia said to Qin Mi with a smile: "Zi Ji, I'll ask you a few questions."

Qin Mi was confused. Although he and Guo Jia often drank and chatted in private, they had never seen Guo Jia's smile that seemed to be conspiracy on his face now.

You are the master of the human race, just ask.

Qin Mi said carefully while pondering in her heart: "Master, please ask."

Guo Jia held back his laughter and coughed twice again to clear his throat.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other. This scene seemed familiar. Once upon a time, when Guo Jia teased the children of the aristocratic families who claimed to be talented, wasn’t it just pretending to make people feel like they were facing a great enemy?

Qin Mi, in trouble.

The two followed Guo Jia curiously, and they couldn't think of how Guo Jia would make trouble Qin Mi. Maybe it was just a kind joke.

"Zi Ji, I ask you, is God the truth?"

Qin Mi looked at Guo Jia nervously, but unexpectedly heard such a question. He frowned slightly, not knowing why Guo Jia asked such a tricky question.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai on the side also showed thoughts. The two looked at each other and shook their heads, as if they were admiring Guo Jia's difficult methods.

Just when the two thought Qin Mi would be very embarrassed, they didn't expect Qin Mi to stretch her face and said lightly: "I have a head."

Guo Jia then asked: "Where is the head?"

Qin Mi replied, "In the West. The Book of Songs says: I am so proud of the West. I will use this to push it, and my head is in the West."

This answer made Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Qin Mi could give an answer with reasonable and reasonableness. On the other hand, Guo Jia was not discouraged at the moment, and seemed to have a stronger smile.

"Zi Ji, I'll ask you again, is God so good?"

Um?

Qin Mi guessed Guo Jia’s intention, as if she was comparing her talents, and it seemed that she was deliberately doing all this to Xun Yu.

No matter what the purpose is, Qin Mi must cooperate with Guo Jia.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu looked at Qin Mi, implicitly expecting. They never thought of an answer to such an unpopular and tricky question, and they could only hope that Qin Mi could kill Guo Jia.

"The sky is high and the listening is low. The poem says: "The crane sings in the nine high places, and the sound of the sky is heard. "How can you listen without ears?"

After Qin Mi finished speaking, she looked at Guo Jia, and her eyes seemed to say: Lord, stop asking...

But Guo Jia didn't realize his helpless eyes and continued to ask: "Is there anything that God can do?"

Qin Mi sighed silently, thinking was moving quickly. Perhaps Guo Jia asked quickly and asked urgently, so he thought quickly, and he had no room for questions and answers.

"There is enough. The poem says: 'The sky is difficult.' How can you walk without it?"

"Does God have a surname?"

"Submitted to Liu."

After these two words, Qin Mi suddenly felt nervous. He was a smart person. Although Guo Jia was a Han minister, many of the things Guo Jia did were to overthrow the foundation of the Han Dynasty, abolishing filial piety and honesty to promote the imperial examinations, and reopening hundreds of schools. If Guo Jia could wipe out the world, the surname of Tian seemed to change... But now, he must say that even if Guo Jia hopes to hear Guo’s surname in Tian, ​​he would still say that his surname was Liu.

“How do you know it?”

Guo Jia seemed to be smiling, and his words were lighter.

After Qin Mi was silent for a while, he whispered: "The emperor's surname is Liu, so he knows it."

...

"A good Qin Ziyi, who is quick-thinking, knowledgeable and wise"

Xun Yu was happy and praised Qin Mi's performance of answering like a lot.

Xi Zhicai also laughed happily and said, "Zi Ji, Zi Ji, you really opened my eyes today. You can answer such tricky questions from your lord. In this world, if you talk about eloquence, you must be the best in the world."

Qin Mi was ashamed and said he was not afraid to take it.

Xun Yu saw Qin Mi's talent, turned his head and looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao is really a wise eye to recognize the pearl."

Guo Jia shrugged and didn't care.

If you ask unfamiliar people, you will probably be considered to be deliberately making things difficult for you. Anyway, Guo Jia is sure that Qin Mi can answer it. In history, Zhang Wen had a fierce argument with Qin Mi and was speechless. If Guo Jia asked Zhang Song and Peng Xian, the other party would definitely not be able to answer it.

Guo Jia stopped asking, Qin Mi breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand and wanted to wipe a cold sweat, but took it back.
