Views:

Although Li Yuguo's wonderful hands could not restore Huang Yueying's appearance in one go, he had already recovered to some extent. For Huang Chengyan, this kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, although Zhuge Liang doesn't mind now. Huang Yueying's appearance, but who can guarantee that it will look like decades later

Mr. Shui Jing and Sima Hui also looked at Li Yuguo with admiration. A group of people were drinking and singing in the yard. Under the bright moon, the atmosphere became a lot more harmonious for a while. Before, everyone had a grudge against Li Yuguo because they didn’t know that Li Yuguo was coming. For what.

But now Li Huguo has used practical actions to express his position, which is eye-catching.

"Hugo, I heard that you don't have words yet, how about I taste it for you?" Mr. Shui Jing said.

Li Huguo was overjoyed: "There is also Mr. Lao!"

You must know that there is no imperial examination in this era, so the evaluation of celebrities can make people soar to the sky. Li Hugo dreamed of such an opportunity, but he did not expect to achieve it today.

Take Cao Mengde for example. He was an eunuch, but his conduct was not good when he was young. He did not rule the industry, was fond of flying eagles and lackeys, and wandered around excessively. The local scholars looked down on Cao Mengde. Yuan Zhong, the Prime Minister of Pei, even planned to punish him. Later, Cao Mengde became the After entering the official career, he tried his best to reverse his negative image. At first, he relied on Taiwei Qiaoxuan to clear his name. Qiaoxuan was worried that his reputation was not enough, so he suggested that Cao Mengde ask Xu Shao of Runan to host the Yuedan Review.

Xu Shao also despised Cao Mengde and did not want to deal with him, but under the threat of Cao Mengde, he had no choice but to comment on "Jun Qingping is a traitor and a hero in troubled times." This comment, which was both praise and blame, made Cao Mengde famous, and he was imprisoned soon after. For "filial piety and integrity", he served as an official in the capital Luoyang.

Celebrities commented that this is very important for a person's official career. There are two main ways to select officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, zhaoju and zhengpi. Zhengpi is a top-down discovery and appointment of talents by the emperor, central bureaucrats and officials at all levels. Chaju refers to local states and counties recommending talents from the bottom up through the inspection and evaluation of talents. The main subjects of Chaju are filial piety, talent, virtuous and upright, etc.

The main way for scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty to enter official career was through Chaju. Chaju was also known as rural examination, which used the public opinion evaluation of the rural society as the basis for talent selection.

However, Xu Zhao and Mr. Shui Jing are not on the same level at all. If an expert like Mr. Shui Jing participates in the evaluation, it would be a dream come true.

Mr. Shui Jing put down his wine glass and said: "Li Huguo, if you have the appearance of riding a dragon, I will give you the name 'Bolong'. From now on, you can also be called Li Bolong. The old man's evaluation for you is: the talent of a master, the appearance of a dragon, Unparalleled courage, wisdom of the deep sea.”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Chengyan said: "Brother Sima, I understand three of your four sentences, but what does the appearance of a dragon mean?"

"Hahaha! Dragons can fly with external force or lurk in the abyss. Once they fly, the world will be shocked..." Mr. Shui Jing said while stroking his long beard.

Li Huguo said: "Sir, you are trying to harm me. The dragon is the sign of the emperor. How can I, a mere mortal, covet it?"

"Haha, no, the general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will divide. Think about it, first there was the Great Xia, then there was the Great Shang, then there was the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States. Through the ages, and the changing of the ages, who can say that this great Han Dynasty will last forever? ?So in Lao Cao's view, the Han Dynasty's four-hundred-year foundation has gone from weak to strong, from prosperity to decline. This is the way of heaven. In this world, there are many people with imperial ambitions, but everyone is unwilling to say it out. Could it be that... Bo Long does not have such imperial aspirations?"

Li Yuguo was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, how dare I plot rebellion. Although I have thought about it, in the end I am just thinking about it."

"That's it, that's enough... I think Liu Bei and Liu Xuande treated the world with benevolence and righteousness, so my disciple Kong Ming happened to have a relationship with him as a monarch and a minister, so I refused to let you see Kong Ming. But there is another person, If his talents are no longer as good as Kong Ming's, his life will belong to Liu Bei, but once he joins Liu Bei, his life will not be long." Sima Hui sighed.

Li Yuguo immediately thought of Pang Tong. He knew that there was a rumor in the world that whoever owns either Wolong or Fengxiao can own the world. Wolong is Zhuge Liang. Zhugeliang is resourceful and often defeats his opponents with clever tricks. But Pang Tong, the Fengxiao, can actually fight with Zhuge Liang is as famous as Zhuge Liang, which shows that the talents and strategies of this young man Pang Tong are definitely not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

It should be noted that Pang Tong has a much bigger temper than Zhuge Liang. He has always refused to leave the mountain. In his words, he has not found the Ming Lord and it is not worthy for him to leave the mountain. At that time, Lu Su of Soochow knew that Pang Tong was a genius in the world. In order to retain Pang Tong, He went to invite Pang Tong in person, but it was a pity that Sun Quan was delayed by something and did not receive Pang Tong immediately, so he neglected Pang Tong. Pang Tong was a man of great ability, but his temper was also not small. He saw Sun Quan's hospitality. , so he waved his sleeves and left.

When Pang Tong left Soochow, there was an episode. When he walked to the river and was about to take a boat to Jingzhou, he found that he only had one penny with him, but the boatman asked him for ten penny. He was thinking in his heart, is it right? God didn't want him to leave Soochow, so he bet in his heart that if the boatman was willing to send him away for a penny, it would mean that he had no such fate with Sun Quan of Soochow.

Maybe God really wants Pang Tong to leave Soochow. Originally, he had to pay ten cents to take the boat, but now he paid one cent and the boatman was willing to take Pang Tong to Jingzhou. When Pang Tong arrived in Jingzhou, he happened to encounter that Jingzhou was recruiting wise men from all over the world. Talented people can be appointed as officials to serve the people, but Pang Tong had nothing to do, so he joined in the fun. Unexpectedly, Pang Tong wrote an article casually, and got Liu Bei's favor and appointed him as a county magistrate.

At the beginning, Liu Bei didn't know that Pang Tong was Fengchu. He only knew that Pang Tong had written good articles and was very insightful, and he was planning to reuse him. However, Sun Qian suggested appointing Xiaozhi County first to see if he was really capable, and then make a decision later. Sun Qian saw that Pang Tong's appearance was extremely ugly. He didn't believe that Pang Tong could write such a good article, and he was judging people by their appearance. At that time, Liu Bei also listened to Sun Qian's advice.

After some disputes, Pang Tong still worked under Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei insisted on benevolence and righteousness. Pang Tong could only use his own death to help Liu Bei make up his mind to march to Xichuan.

Therefore, Pang Tong did not have much time under Liu Bei, and he died too early. It was a pity that he was full of economic ambitions.

Li Yuguo said: "Is this person Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, known as Feng Chu?"

Mr. Shui Jing was very surprised. He said: "Indeed, the general's sharp eyes can guess it right at once. That's right... My apprentice has a shallow life, but he has a talent. However, he is destined not to die well. I watch the sky at night. , I found that Pang Tong's natal star was originally more compatible with Liu Bei, but since you were born, he has a very good compatibility with you."

Li Huguo was overjoyed: "Please introduce me sir!"

With that said, Li Huguo was about to salute.
