Chapter 10 Luoyang first became famous (2) ()

Emperor Ling of Han, who had loved poetry, had once set up another "Hongdu Gate School", was in a good mood at this time, and "The day before yesterday, the prefect of Ba County reported to the court, and the thieves in Ba County had been wiped out. It was supposed to be the credit of Yan Yan, the captain of Ba County. Now Yan Xiaoqing's family is loyal to the king and the country, and has a profound literary talent. It can be seen that Yan Yan is well-educated. He was promoted to Yan Yan as the prefect of Ba County, and the former prefect of Ba County was transferred to him. Yan Xiaoqing's family was appointed as the position of Sanqi Changshi and accompany me."

Yan Bin was secretly amused. It turned out that his father's position as the prefect was obtained by himself. He was now a court official. Although the Sanqi Changshi was a idle position, no matter what specific matters, he was a close minister around the emperor and was considered the emperor's consultant. As long as he was doing well, he still had a great influence on the emperor. This position is quite suitable for young people. Moreover, he is already an intermediate official with a salary of 600 shi, and probably the youngest official in history. Now he can't be famous.

After returning to his mansion, Yan Bin wrote a long letter to Yan Yan. He introduced his recent situation in detail and hoped that Yan Yan would expand the naval army, promote Gan Ning to the lieutenant, and try his best to win over his colleague Zhang Ren. He called Gan Ning into the room and told Gan Ning about the content of the letter. He told Gan Ning to go back to Ba County immediately. Because the expansion of the naval army required him to practice diligently, and asked him to detour Jiujiang County to find Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin as his deputy. Although Gan Ning was a little regretful that he had not yet visited Luoyang, he was very happy to be promoted to the lieutenant after returning. So he didn't say much and went to Jiujiang County.

The next few days will naturally be some things that will come to the delivery. With Yan Bin's obedience, he sent a jar of fine wine to each of the ten regular attendants. He also said to Zhang Rang and others: "You are really working hard and making great contributions to the emperor. The boy has no good things to take. These fine wines are brewed by the boy and paid for them. Now the quantity is too small, so the father-in-law will drink it first, and the boy will brew it again, and then he will make as much as he wants." Zhang Rang and others were very satisfied with Yan Bin's understanding.

He ran to He Jin's mansion and gave He Jin three jars of fine wine to He Jin and said to He Jin: "General, your ambition is like the champion of that year. So the boy admires a hero like the general the most. In the future, if you join the army, please take care of him." He Jin, the butcher, heard Yan Bin say that he was a hero, and his favor towards Yan Bin has increased greatly from now on.

It was even simpler for the great scholars in the court. Yan Bin respected them, regarded himself as a student everywhere, and plagiarized a few poems from later generations from time to time. The great scholars quarreled to ask Yan Bin to take them as their teachers. Yan Bin was the more heavier, and he worshipped Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, Zheng Xuan, Zhang Wen, Cui Yan, Liu Biao, and Ma Rizhe as his teachers. In this way, the ancient and modern classics and the royal family in the court also praised Yan Bin.

At the court meeting half a month later, the ancient classics and modern classics had another dispute over Confucius' words. Yan Bin saw that the opportunity had come. Half a month had passed since the previous climax, and everyone had almost digested it. It was time to set off another fire. So he walked out and started to speak to Emperor Ling.

"Your Majesty, teachers and colleagues. The ancient classics and modern classics have different understandings due to the different versions used, which is also helpless. But whether it is the philology of ancient classics or the subtle meaning of modern classics, I always hope to explain the saint's words more appropriately. But this is very difficult, because each has its own explanation and it is difficult to convince the other party. The reason for this is that the sentence is unclear. For example, "The people can make it through it, but not know it." Now everyone thinks that this means that the stupider the common people, the better, and they can only be used, but they cannot make them smart. Is this true? It may not be necessary. First of all, except for the Nangong brothers and Gong Ruliang, a few of them, who are children of aristocratic families, most of them are ordinary people. Secondly, Confucius once said that "there is no difference in teaching."

, The common people are the foundation of the country. What is the benefit of being stupid for the country? Did Confucius hope that all the common people in our country are like barbarians like the Xiongnu and Xianbei? Then there is another explanation, the people can do it, and they cannot, and they must know it. That is, the common people can do it, and they must explain it to them if they do not approve it. There is another explanation, the common people can do it, and they cannot, and they must know it. That is, the common people can do it, and they can do it, and they can do it, and they can do it. Which explanation is more in line with Confucius' original intention? To be honest, I don't know. But I think today we are arguing about what the ancients said, and future generations will also argue about what we say. Therefore, the sentence reading must be clear. Recently, I invented a set of symbols to accurately read sentences. Please give me advice from Your Majesty and all great wise men."

Then Yan Bin explained the modern punctuation marks to everyone in the hall. The ministers were amazed. Emperor Ling was also very happy to think that he would not have to be so tired when reading memorials in the future. He not only asked Yan Bin to go to Tai Academy to teach punctuation marks to Tai students. He also circulated them in the form of an imperial list, and ordered that future memorials must be punctuated.
