Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40

"My lord Wang Yi! Master Su and some other adults want to see you." The yamen servant said to Wang Yi who was lying on the table, and turned to Li Song and the others: "My lords, this is me. Wang Yi, a subordinate official in Xie County who manages household registration."

"It's none of your business here, go down first!" Su Dingfang said to the yamen servant. The yamen servant glanced at Wang Yi, and secretly pointed out who Su Dingfang was. After receiving Wang Yi's reply, he bowed to everyone and retreated. .

Although his and Wang Yi's petty actions were secretive, they couldn't escape Su Dingfang's eyes. Su Dingfang thought, this person is not simple!

"I don't know how many adults are looking for me, Wang Yi. What's the matter?" Wang Yi got up and bowed to Li Song and the others, saying that he was paying respects to Su Dingfang.

"You are Wang Yi? I heard that you can still make a county run normally even when no county lacks officials, especially in Jie County, which was the worst disaster by the Southern Huns. You are really a great talent, and you are very famous. Come." Li Song said.

"It's just that Xie County's colleagues and the common people take care of each other, so that Xie County is in today's state. Thanks to the absurd praise of the adults, Wang Yi can't be a great talent." Seeing that Su Dingfang wanted to treat the young people in front of him with courtesy, Wang Yi immediately understood This person's status or official position is higher than that of Su Dingfang.

"You are too modest! I think you can manage this county well with your status as a subordinate official. I think you must have some experience in governing the place. I am here to ask you for advice. If you want to be a prefect, you should be How to govern a county." Li Song said.

"My lord, please sit down and discuss in detail!" This is the first time Wang Yi has met to directly discuss the issue of local governance with others. He is not at all tactful as he has been in the officialdom for many years. Presumably this person is an official not long ago. Yi made a gesture of invitation to Li Song and others.

Li Song and others sat down, Wang Yi and Li Song discussed how to govern the region, mainly Wang Yi was talking, and Li Song was listening. Now, I am afraid that Li Song's details have been found out.

Although he was a little regretful, he still knew Li Song's identity, and he should be above the prefect. From some clues, he guessed that the young man in front of him must be a high-ranking official.

"This is my view on governing a county! I wonder what your opinion is?" Wang Yi said respectfully.

When Li Song was asked by Wang Yi, he was immediately dumbfounded. What advice can I have!Li Song slandered, Li Song knew nine out of ten senses when it comes to governing the region, but he didn't know one.

"Not bad! Wendu is indeed a great talent!" After Li Song finished speaking, he took out the seals of Bingzhou Mu and General Zuo, and said to Wang Yi: "Wang Yi listens to the order. On behalf of the imperial court, I appoint you as the prefect of Hedong County. From now on, you can drive Prefect rights."

After Wang Yi saw Yin Shou, he was taken aback. Although he guessed that the young man in front of him had a lot of background, he never expected that he would be his boss, Bingzhou Mu and Zuo General Li Song.

"Thank you, General!" Wang Yi hurriedly knelt down and bowed. After all, the east side of the river belongs to the imperial court. In fact, everyone knows that it belongs to Li Song.

"The prefect Yinshou is not with me. After you return to Anyi with me, I will give you the Yinshou. Get up!" Li Song said.

Wang Yi got up from the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Please allow me a few more days, General. After I have dealt with some matters here, I will follow the general to Anyi."

"We still have to inspect the rest of the counties, so it's inconvenient to stay here for a long time. Since you have something to deal with, then go to Anyi by yourself after you have dealt with it. I will send someone to stay here to wait for you." Li Song said.

"Everything is up to the general's orders!" Wang Yi cupped his hands, Li Song and Wang Yi discussed for a while, and at the same time handed over the matter of helping Hedong County to him, then left the county office and continued on the road the next day.

Li Song and others walked all the way to Pingyang County, where they came to a tributary of the Fen River, and suddenly heard the sound of a zither in the distance. and condolences for deceased relatives.

Li Song and others went downstream following the sound of the zither, and came to a gazebo, where they saw a person playing the qin sitting in the pavilion, his face was covered by a veil, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was a young girl in her late teens.

"Okay!" Wait for the girl to play a song!Li Song applauded!Going up to the gazebo, he bowed and said, "My lady, Xiaosheng is so polite!"

Li Song, who had never dealt with ancient women much, actually didn't know how to address a young girl. He had read in some books that unmarried women were called Niangzi before the ancient Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to modern girls.

Although I don't know if it's right or not, in short, take one step at a time and talk about it when the time comes, Li Song secretly observes the changes of the girl in front of him with the corner of his eyes, and he feels uneasy, what if he is misunderstood as a disciple?
"My lord, I'm so polite!" The girl stood up and wished Li Song and the others a blessing.

After the two parties greeted each other, Li Song heaved a sigh of relief and looked up, only to find that besides the girl in front of him, there was another girl next to the girl in the pavilion. Judging from her attire, she should be the girl's maid in front of her.

Turning his eyes from the maid back to the girl, Li Song carefully sized the girl up. Although she couldn't see her face clearly with the veil on, from her pair of big watery eyes, he guessed that she should be a girl with a watery appearance.

"Miss! The young master in front of me is so strange that he stared at the young lady in a daze!" the servant girl whispered in the girl's ear.

"Xiao Tao! Don't be rude!" the girl said with a blank look at the maid beside her.

"Don't blame me, lady! Xiaosheng is rude." Li Song realized at this moment that staring at a girl like this is a rude thing.

"Xiaosheng came here after hearing the sound of the qin. Please forgive me for being presumptuous!" Li Song said, "Xiaosheng Li Songbiao's character is Yuanbai, and he is from Longxi, Xiliang. Dare I ask my lady's name, where is her surname?"

"Cai Yan, my slave family, is named Wenji, a native of Chenliu County Yu, the daughter of Gaoyang Township Marquis, Han Zuo Zhonglang General Cai Yong." The girl said Wanfu.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of her was Cai Wenji, a well-known talented woman during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. She was erudite and proficient in rhythm, which was related to her father's teaching.

As for his father, he was a famous writer and calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cai Wenji's literature and calligraphy were influenced by her father, and she was quite accomplished, and later even surpassed her father.

Information about Cai Wenji appeared in Li Song's mind. Cai Wenji had a rough life. In her early years, she wandered to Hedong with her father Cai Yong and married Wei Zhongdao, a prominent family in Hedong. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongdao died early, and happened to meet the Huns' invasion. Cai Wenji was taken away by Zuo Xianwang , lived in the north for 12 years, and was finally redeemed by Cao Cao from the Huns with a lot of money.

At this time, Cai Wenji had just returned to her hometown where she had been away for 12 years, but she was reluctant to leave her two sons, so she composed the repertoire of Hu Jia's [-] beats.
