Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 50: Zheng Xuan, the Master of Classical Studies
Because of the music score, Wang Yu talked with Zhou Yu for a long time. Only when it was getting dark at night did Zhou Yi get up and leave. Wang Yu personally saw him off and watched them leave from outside the door.

Looking at the backs of Zhou Yi and his son leaving, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This operation should be stable!"

You know, what he gave to Zhou Yu was the famous Fireworks That Fade Away.

This song is from "A Record of Buddhist Monasteries in Luoyang" written by Yang Xuanzhi during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It describes the thousand-year-old capital city of Luoyang, which collapsed after its prosperity.

A royal general in Luoyang city met a woman by chance. They fell in love at first sight and decided to spend their lives together. However, at this time, the general was summoned by the court to fight in the border.

In the years of war, the imperial capital Luoyang has been reduced to ruins. In the end, the woman waited for the general to meet her, so she became a nun. When the general returned after going through many hardships, he found the ancient temple where the woman had become a nun, but she had already passed away.

People told the general that there was a woman waiting for him here.

Through this poem, Wang Yu attracted the admiration of many young ladies from aristocratic families in Luoyang, and his charm value instantly jumped to a terrifying 98 points.

Because of this, many young men and women from aristocratic families have paid a large sum of money to obtain the music score of this poem. The price has been raised to eight thousand gold, but Wang Yu still has not sold it!

And now, Wang Yu gave it to Zhou Yu, which would definitely cause tons of critical damage to his young mind.

"Ritian, Ritian, I have accepted your brother-in-law." Wang Yu looked in the direction of Yanmen Pass and muttered to himself.

…………

At the same time, outside Guangwu City.

After gaining Wang Meng's loyalty, Qin Hao no longer dared to be negligent in the slightest, because Qin Liangyu was now in great danger.

Therefore, he immediately ordered Wang Meng to assist Yue Fei and be responsible for training the army. Then he himself led the generals and 15,000 troops and immediately rushed to Yanmen Pass.

Although Guangwu City is not far from Yanmen Pass, Qin Hao was still worried and marched at full speed. As for sneezing on the road, he did not think much about it, but just felt as if something was missing.

At this time, he became even more panicked, worried that Yanmen Pass had been breached by Temujin and that his sister Qin Liangyu had died on the battlefield. He immediately ordered the entire army to rush to Yanmen Pass as quickly as possible.

It’s just that Wang Yu doesn’t know all this yet.

If he knew about it, he would find a way to intervene.

…………

Luoyang, the residence of Cai Yong.

Wang Yu ran to his future father-in-law's house as usual, and the servants in the mansion seemed to be used to it!
But this time, Wang Yu met an important person.

That is Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan, courtesy name Kangcheng, was a native of Gaomi County, Beihai Prefecture. He was a famous Confucian scholar and classicist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

He entered the Imperial College to study in his early years, and studied under Zhang Gongzu and others, and finally studied ancient classics with Ma Rong.

After returning home from his studies, he went to Donglai to farm again, gathered students to teach, and he had thousands of disciples. Although his family was poor, he was still studious and eventually became a great scholar.

When the Party and Factions Ban broke out, he was imprisoned and stayed at home to annotate and write.

In his later years, Zheng Xuan remained loyal to his country and refused to serve as an official, but was forced to join the army. He eventually died of illness in Yuancheng at the age of 74. According to the original history, Zheng Xuan's academic research focused on ancient text classics, and also adopted modern text classics. He annotated Confucian classics and spent his life to organize ancient cultural heritage. He wrote books such as "Astronomy and Seven Political Theories" and "Zhonghou", totaling more than one million words, which are known as "Zhengxue" and are the epitome of Han Dynasty classics.

During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Li Shimin listed Zheng Xuan among the twenty-two "first teachers" and allowed him to be directly worshipped in the Confucius Temple.

Of course, these are the great achievements of Zheng Xuan's life in the original history. In this era, his real identity is the elder of a farming family, and the great scholar is just a superficial identity of his.

"Brother Boshe, is this your future son-in-law?" Zheng Xuan looked at Wang Yu in front of him and said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right. Yu'er is a talented and loyal son-in-law. Besides, my daughter likes him very much. As a father, I will naturally help him!"

Faced with Zheng Xuan's sudden ridicule, Cai Yong did not change the subject, but admitted it directly and openly on the spot, which surprised Zheng Xuan who was standing by and he quickly looked at Wang Yu carefully.

"This boy is not an ordinary person." Zheng Xuan said this inexplicable sentence, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, because he couldn't understand Wang Yu at all.

Although this man appears to be a teenager, his eyes are as if he has experienced many changes in the world and has seen the prosperity of wealthy families.

While Zheng Xuan was looking at Wang Yu, Wang Yu was also looking at him, and at the same time ordered the system to detect Zheng Xuan's five-dimensional attributes.

[Ding Dong, Zheng Xuan's current basic five-dimensional attributes are Command 72, Military Strength: Early Intermediate Grandmaster, Intelligence 85, Politics 92, Charisma 95;]

"Is it the early to mid-level Grandmaster?"

Wang Yu was not surprised that Zheng Xuan now had the strength of an early grandmaster. After all, he was almost sixty years old.

If one has not yet reached the level of Grand Master, it is impossible to have such a youthful appearance despite having white hair.

In the original novel, Zheng Xuan made a special promise to Ritian in order to save Lu Zhi's life, but in the end, he never said it.

However, judging from the development of the plot, most of the masters of the farming family have joined the Worship Hall, and there may be a reason for this.

Now that I have been given the opportunity, there is no way I will let him go. At least I have to establish a good relationship with him.

After figuring out the key point, Wang Yu took the initiative to talk to Zheng Xuan. Of course, on the surface they were still talking about Confucian classics. Fortunately, Wang Yu's research in this area was not low.

After all, Confucian classics are nothing more than "Book of Songs", "Book of History", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", "Book of Music" and "Spring and Autumn Annals".

In his previous life, he relied on this trick to lure all those aristocratic families into joining his camp. However, in the end, he got out of hand and caused such a tragic result.

Seeing that Wang Yu's comprehension of classics had reached such a level, Zheng Xuan's face was filled with surprise. Could it be that this boy's natural intelligence had reached such a level?

It can be said that in today's Confucian classics debate, if Wang Yu had not shown mercy, even Zheng Xuan, a famous Confucian classics scholar in the eyes of thousands of scholars in the Han Dynasty, would have been defeated by him.

However, Wang Yu is not stupid. This kind of thing is not something he can win at all. The basic social etiquette is easy for him to handle.

I believe that after this incident, Zheng Xuan will look at Wang Yu with a new respect, and will also thank him for showing mercy today. In order to repay him, he will definitely spare no effort to promote him.

In this way, wouldn’t you become famous?
