"I don't think Luoyang has a small population now, but there are a lot of things going on. It is no longer as peaceful and happy as Chang'an." Early in the morning, Chen Mo was invited to the government office by Li Ru and complained with some dissatisfaction.

When he was in Chang'an, it was normal not to come to the government office for three to five days, but now it is not possible. Just like when he first entered Chang'an, he needed to make decisions on many things. But compared to Chang'an at that time, now

Zhong Yun has already taken care of many things in Luoyang, and there are far fewer things. However, in the first few days, Chen Mo still has to sit in the government office every day. Many celebrities in Luoyang need Chen Mo to meet them one by one. These things alone are enough to keep him busy.

Yes.

"Moving the capital is a major event. To appease people's hearts, my lord should have been prepared in advance." Li Ru said with a smile: "And today the Suiyang court sent an envoy, and my lord needs to receive him."

"Oh?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up: "The Suiyang court instead of Cao Cao?"

"Exactly!" Li Ru nodded and smiled.

Although they all seem to come from the same place, their meanings are completely different. The representative of the imperial court is Liu Xie.

"I wonder who is coming?" Chen Mo asked as he walked.

"Pingyuan Miheng, my lord, have you ever heard of it?" Li Ru asked with a smile.

"That madman who beat drums and scolded Cao Cao?" Chen Mo paused when he heard this, looked at Li Ru and said, "Are you sure he was sent by the imperial court and not by Cao Cao?"

Chen Mo had heard about this madman for a long time. The people under Cao Cao's account were said to be worthless, and Cao Cao was scolded to a pulp. Chen Mo didn't feel that he was any more noble than Cao Cao, and he didn't know the standards by which this madman judged people.

, when Chen Mo knew about this, he was still a little gloating, but now that this madman has come to his side, Chen Mo has a headache. He can talk and thinks he has some sense of humor, but it does not mean that he has no temper.

.

"At least in name, he was sent by the Suiyang court." Li Ru nodded.

"Let's go and meet you." Chen Mo didn't say anything more and took Li Ru and Dian Wei straight to the government office. The first person he saw was not Mi Heng, but Yang Xiu.

"Why is Dezu here?" Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiu in surprise.

"I came here especially to recommend you to the Lord." Yang Xiu said with a smile. After he followed Yang Biao to Luoyang, he took advantage of the opportunity to work as an aide under Chen Mo, helping Chen Mo write copywriting and other things. Now they are all left to Yang Xiu.

Do.

"Are you Zhengping?" Chen Mo looked at Yang Xiu and asked with a smile.

"My lord already knows?" Yang Xiu looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

"It's hard to beat the drum and scold Cao Cao even if you don't know." Chen Mo nodded, knelt down on the throne and said with a smile: "But he came here on behalf of the imperial court, and you recommended it to me... He won't go back?"

"My lord, I don't know." Yang Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Zhengping came here with only the imperial edict and the letter from Duke Cao. He is not considered an envoy. In terms of status, he is still in white."

"Since Dezu recommended him, he must have extraordinary literary talent." Chen Mo said with a smile, "That's good, I'm also curious about what this person is capable of, so I want to meet him."

"Here!" Yang Xiu nodded with a smile, said goodbye and left to find someone, while Chen Mo picked up Cao Cao's letter and read it.

As for the imperial edicts, it's not that Chen Mo doesn't pay attention to them, but such formal edicts generally have nothing special in them. They are mostly to commend Chen Mo for his contribution to quelling the Qiang rebellion. Moreover, they are verbal commendations, and they probably won't have any practical significance.

Cao Cao's letters are similar to letters from home. He talks about trivial matters at home. His son is disobedient and his mother-in-law does not care about the children. Most of them are complaining. Cao Cao's private letters to Chen Mo usually do not talk about official matters, but occasionally recall the youthful spirit of the past.

...For Chen Mo, it was a youthful spirit, and Cao Cao was not too young back then.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiu came in with a young scholar, saluted Chen Mo and said, "My lord, this is you, you are Zhengping, you are an unparalleled talent."

The visitor gave Chen Mo a slight salute, which was considered a sufficient etiquette. Chen Mo smiled and nodded and said, "I have heard about Mr. Mister for a long time, and when I meet him today, he is indeed a rare talent."

Mi Heng smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that Marquis Changling is a hero of the world, with unparalleled literary talent and martial arts. But now it seems that he is just a common man."

"Yes, Mr. Zhengping is really wise." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Mo is born in the world, eats all kinds of grains, and will also suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. He is just a common person."

Mi Heng raised his eyebrows. Originally, if Chen Mo refuted, he could cite a lot of classics to prove that Chen Mo is a common man, but now Chen Mo admits it directly and openly... What is the dignity of a hegemon!?

Yang Xiu squeezed to Xu Shu's side and sat upright, watching this scene with bright eyes. He naturally knew Chen Mo's eloquence, and Mi Heng was obviously an eloquent person. He had been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

Xu Shu glanced at Yang Xiu who was inexplicably excited, shook his head, and continued to do his own thing. Jia Xu continued to drink, and Li Ru buried his head in the papers. He was the busiest, but Xun You watched this with interest.

A character whom Cao Cao's general Wen Wu scolded more than once.

"I've heard for a long time that Marquis Changling has a broad mind, but when I saw him today, it turned out to be extraordinary." Mi Heng said with a smile.

It seems to be praising Chen Mo, but based on the context, it can also be understood that Chen Mo does not have the temper he should have as a master.

"Sir, please don't say any more flattering words like this." Chen Mo seemed to have not heard it and shook his head with a smile.

"Marquis Changling thinks I'm just trying to flatter you?" Mi Heng was a little helpless.

"You can't be flattering by using polite words." Chen Mo shook his head: "They say Zhengping has sharp words, but after seeing him today, this rumor is a bit exaggerated."

"I've heard for a long time that Marquis Changling's knowledge spans ancient and modern times. Heng has a lot of knowledge that he doesn't understand. Could you please ask Marquis Changling for advice?" Ni Heng asked.

"It's not enough to learn from the past and present. If Zhengping wants to discuss it, it's okay." Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile while writing a reply to Cao Cao.

Well, the letter basically complained about Cao Cao's dissatisfaction with sending Mi Heng. Chen Mo is not really ungrateful, but he just doesn't want to argue with this kind of person. If you worry too much, it will appear that you have no measure, and if you ignore him, you may become more arrogant.

, killing him will definitely not work. Chen Mo’s recruitment order has just been sent to all states and counties, and he kills celebrities in the blink of an eye. What does this make the world think? Who dares to come and apply?

So Chen Mo focused all his emotions on his reply to Cao Cao.

"The two articles written by Marquis Changling are quite high-quality, but I am not talented enough, so I will use the article on polemics to ask for advice." Mi Heng coughed lightly and began his own discussion.

When it comes to talent and learning, Mi Heng said that he is a leader in the world, but his talent and learning are indeed extraordinary. I heard that he also has a photographic memory. He cited scriptures and analyzed an early debate by Chen Mo. Finally, he looked at Chen Mo and said: "Chang Mo."

Linghou had such literary talent back then, so why have only two articles been published so far?"

It has been nearly ten years since Chen Mo wrote polemics. At that time, Chen Mo could write such shocking articles, but in recent years, especially after becoming a prince, no poems have been published. In Mi Heng's opinion,

Very strange.

"These are troubled times, and no matter how good your article is, it can't save all the people in the world." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"Then I wonder if Marquis Changling still remembers who owns this world?" Mi Heng looked at Chen Mo with a sharp look, and his tone became aggressive.

Yang Xiu frowned, what he said was a bit inappropriate, especially to say it to Chen Mo in this place.

Jia Xu put down his wine glass, looked at Mi Heng, and frowned slightly. Xun You's face also became serious. Xu Shu and Li Ru put down their pens, and the atmosphere in the entire government office suddenly became solemn.

"The last chapter of "Mencius" once said that the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least." Chen Momo really thought about it and said: "This may not be entirely true. If I look at it, the people are like the river and the sea, and the country is the least."

Like a boat, you can be regarded as a boatman. Who is more important than who is more important? Although Mencius said this, it is just a family opinion. Zhengping should also have traveled and studied, and he should know who is more important and who is less important. As for why this world belongs to one person?

Different places see different things. It can be said that it is the emperor, or it can be said that it is the world of all people. All things are born and have no owner. How can we say who belongs to them? But the river and the sea can be crossed by boats, but they can also capsize.

."

The world has never been ruled by one family and one surname. This is what Chen Mo realized when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing and the princes challenged Dong. If the world was ruled by one family and one surname, why would there be Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han?

Mi Heng frowned slightly and wanted to refute, but what Chen Mo said was indeed quite reasonable. He couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, and even felt that his own ideas were being shaken. He originally came here to scold these princes, but

Chen Mo made him feel like he had nowhere to say anything. No matter what he said, Chen Mo would either pretend to be stupid or dumbfounded, pretend not to hear the innuendo in his words, or make arguments that he could not refute.

Avoiding the truth and attacking the fictitious...it's so clever.

Mi Heng turned his head and looked at Jia Xu and others aside, and suddenly sighed: "The Marquis Changling's literary and martial arts are rare in this world, but it's a pity that there is no one to use them. It's a pity..."

Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xun You: "..."

Forget it!

At this moment, an inexplicable thought flashed through everyone's mind.

"The Yuanzhi boy learned the sword to bring peace to the troubled times, but when he was young, he found that one man's sword could not save the world, so he gave up martial arts and followed literature. In just three years, he could not only strategize, win thousands of miles, but also govern the place, prosper the people and prosper the government; Wen He

He has far-reaching plans, and although he speaks few words, every time he speaks, he can directly point to the fundamental interests; Wenyou is a good strategist, and all three auxiliary military aircraft are under his control; Gongda, Jingda, contingency, and government affairs of the court are easily sorted out, I don't know Mr. Zhengping

Do you think the achievements of these four people can be regarded as outstanding people?" Chen Mo pointed at the four people in the hall and asked.

"How can a person's talent be judged by merit?" Mi Heng frowned.

"But he has no great contribution to the world. He only shows off his literary talents to impress the public all day long. Zhengping thinks that he can become a hero for this? Literary talents can make the people have food and clothing without worries? Or can it stop the wars among the princes and restore peace to the world?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically

.

"How dare Marquis Changling allow me to govern a county?" Mi Heng stood up and frowned.

"Yiyang?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Li Ru.

Li Ru nodded and said: "There happens to be a vacancy in the Yiyang Order, but the place is located in a remote place. With Zhengping's talents, it would be unavoidable to give in."

"Why not? If it is a wealthy county and its politics are clear, how can it convince others?" Mi Heng stood up, saluted Chen Mo and said: "I only teach Changling Marquis that our outstanding literary talent is not just sensationalism, we are practical.

You can do it if you wait."
