"Hahaha, everyone, please come in!"
Sima Yan's face was red and his eyes were full of pride, and standing in front of him were seven famous celebrities in Luoyang.
Except for Lu An, everyone else arrived.
It's just that the atmosphere at the scene is slightly weird.
Ruan Ji was originally a regular attendant of Sanqi, so he seemed very calm, standing in front of everyone, silent, as usual, while his nephew Ruan Xian stood behind him, curiously looking at the palace in front of him.
Ji Kang was still drunk and needed Shan Tao and Xiang Xiu to support him.
Wang Rong's face was full of smiles, and he responded enthusiastically to Sima Yan's kindness.
Liu Ling also had a faint smile on her face, but it was not as obvious as Wang Rong's.
In fact, the positions of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest are not the same. Ruan Ji and Ji Kang are obviously very biased towards Cao Wei and are not interested in the Sima family. They just have no strength and can only reject them in disguised ways.
Shan Tao and Xiang Xiu had some sympathy for Cao Wei, but they lacked courage and did not dare to reject the Sima family's kindness like Ruan Ji Ji Kang did.
Liu Ling is a neutral faction, and may have his heart set on Cao Wei, but he is not willing to participate in these things, he just wants to be a celebrity of his own.
Wang Rong is special. His father is a die-hard ally of the Sima family, and he is also very close to the Sima family and the Zhong family.
Of course, Wang Rong is not a person like Jia Chong. He is quite open-minded, does not pay attention to appearance and etiquette, is talkative, and does not care about money, so he can hang out with these six people.
Sima Yan did not expect that he could gather these people into the palace so easily.
These seven people have a great reputation. Not to mention Sima Yan, even Sima Zhao has wanted to entertain them many times. It's just that they are not very interested in these and often refuse and are unwilling to go.
But he did something that even his father could not do!
Sima Yan's mood at the moment was probably similar to Guo Jian's.
These people appear here for their own reasons.
People like Wang Rong probably didn't want to reject the son of the general who conquered the west, while people like Ji Kang probably wanted to see the talented emperor who wrote "The Empty City Bird".
Sima Yan led everyone into the palace. The soldiers guarding the palace looked at the people in front of them with suspicion in their eyes. However, with Sima Yan leading the way, they naturally did not dare to stop and question them.
But entering and exiting the palace is still not easy, and requires a very careful search.
Logically speaking, for a drunkard like Ji Kang to lose his head if he is allowed to enter the palace, but Sima Yan is standing here, what can the soldiers do, they can only watch them go in.
After entering the palace, these people's faces were very calm and they were not curious about their surroundings.
Only the younger Ruan Xian and Wang Rong looked around.
When they came to the west hall, Cao Mao came out to greet them with a smile.
He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Sima Yan actually brought them here.
This is a bit unreasonable. Sima Zhao agreed to them so easily?
Cao Mao thought to himself, but smiled and bowed to everyone.
Facing the young emperor, everyone showed more or less respect, with the exception of Ruan Ji and Ji Kang. Ji Kang looked at the young man in front of him with drunken eyes, and suddenly asked: "You are the one who wrote An empty city bird??”
Sima Yan frowned. Although he is a famous person, this is too rude!
Cao Mao laughed. He knew that those respectful celebrities were not necessarily on his side. On the contrary, the two people who seemed the most rude were the ones who were truly close to his camp.
He opened his mouth and said: "I didn't write it, I just overheard it in the past and used it for my own use."
Everyone couldn't deny it. How could such a poem be heard casually?
Ji Kang nodded, "No wonder. Even at your age, even if you write poems, you should be full of vigor and vigor, and shouldn't be so miserable...Does your Majesty know who wrote this poem?"
"I don't know, he's probably no longer alive."
"It's a pity, it's a pity. If I meet this person, wouldn't I have to drink with him until death?"
Cao Mao glanced at the document in the distance and said, "If Mr. Ji is interested, I am willing to come and drink with you on his behalf. Although my talent is not as good as his, I know some of his poems!"
"good!!"
Seeing the two people talking like this, several people around looked at each other.
Everyone sat down quickly, and they were not very restrained.
I can't say that I am very close to Cao Mao.
It's not that they look down on the puppet emperor, they have this attitude towards everyone, even when Master Sima comes, they do the same.
They don't really like taking off with those phoenixes.
The most restrained person on the field was Sima Yan.
These people seemed to be still in the bamboo forest, chatting and laughing. Soon, they got into the mood and started singing poems loudly and teasing each other.
This scene alone is enough for them to leave their mark in history.
After all, there are really not many people who can achieve this level in the palace.
Cao Mao listened carefully to their conversation without saying much and smiling.
On the contrary, Sima Yan has been working very hard to find topics and want to integrate into these people's team. However, these people don't pay much attention to Sima Yan. Being here gives you enough face. What else do you want?
Seeing his own An Shi sitting aside and acting like a licking dog, Cao Mao shook his head and said:
"Gentlemen, it's only because of this wonderful man that we can gather here to have fun today!"
Cao Mao took Sima Yan's hand and looked at the celebrities in front of him.
Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at Cao Mao.
Sima Yan was very nervous and didn't know what to say.
Cao Mao said calmly: "An Shi doesn't know how to drink, but he likes to watch people drink. He doesn't know how to write poetry, but likes to listen to people write poetry. He doesn't know about classics, but likes to listen to people talk about them..."
"Isn't it a blessing for you all to have such wonderful people in the world?"
Ji Kang burst out laughing, pointed at Sima Yan in front of him and said, "That's a good boss!"
Everyone also laughed, Sima Yan lowered his head, quite shy.
Cao Mao continued: "This time, I learned that I wanted to see you, but An Shi ignored his own safety and went to General Zhengxi to intercede. He persuaded the general and called you here... What can I do for you? It’s really rare for a friend to reach this level.”
Liu Ling couldn't help but said: "If this were not the case, we would not be willing to come!"
Everyone laughed, but Ruan Ji and Ji Kang had no smiles on their faces.
When the emperor summons celebrities, does he need the consent of General Zhengxi? ?
Shantao suddenly asked: "Then why does Your Majesty want to meet us?"
Cao Mao blinked, "I really want to ask for help from you all."
For a moment, the scene fell silent again.
Only Ji Kang said lazily: "Your Majesty, it's okay to just say it!"
"A lot of fine wines have been sent as tribute from various places, but I am good at drinking but don't know how to drink. I can't taste the good from the bad. I heard that you are all heroes in wine, so I specially invited you to taste the wine for me!"
Only then did everyone laugh.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that we will run out of supplies?"
"With An Shi here, what are you afraid of? If we run out of drinks, just let An Shi steal it from his uncle!"
Sima Yan scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Steal, I steal! As long as your majesty and you are happy..."
After such a conversation, Sima Yan naturally integrated into these people, which made Sima Yan even happier and actively participated in their topics. Cao Mao was still observing the people in front of him, with a somewhat incomprehensible look, saying nothing. hair.
Everyone soon became very drunk, and at some point, Ji Kang was sitting next to Cao Mao, looking unconscious.
"Your Majesty...are you still..."
Before he could finish his words, Cao Mao squeezed his hand and squeezed hard.
A trace of surprise flashed in Ji Kang's eyes, as if he understood something. He lowered his head and stopped talking, as if he was completely drunk.
Sima Yan was obviously in trouble again. He was holding Cao Mao's hand and refused to let go no matter what.
"Yanshi! I am really happy today!"
"So many famous people are so polite to me!"
"Thanks to you. Without you, how could the virtuous people be willing to be my guests?"
"I was born in the General's Mansion, with no one close to me. I have been alone since I was a child. When I grow up, I only have one friend, Liang. He is leaving, but I have you. I will never let you two down... ..”
Just when Sima Yan was pouring out his heartfelt words, an uninvited guest arrived late.
