Chapter 5 Nanye Jindian refused to be an official Mage Luoyang's first ring 4
As soon as Nan Ye returned to the inn, Li Yue and others gathered around and asked about the history of Nan Ye's face saint. No wonder they gossip so much. It's not easy for the emperor to see it these days. It's a great honor to meet the saint, not to mention that Nan Ye has been talking with the spirit emperor for a long time.
Li Yue and others felt fresh, but Nan Ye thought that the Lingdi, who wore a school uniform and looked too drunk and lustful, had nothing to say. The story was finished in a few words.
Nan Ye's speech is so simple that people who listen to it can be shocked. When he heard that Nan Ye refused to be an official, Zhang Shiping's eyes widened and said, "I know that Master went out of the mountain to fight against Zhang Jiao for the peace of the world, not to be an official. But this court has already been awarded, how can there be any reason to refuse it?
How can Nanye not know Zhang Shiping's thoughts? He and Su Shuang are very discerning businessmen. Whether they invest in Liu Bei or themselves, they are able to support officials who can speak for themselves in this way. This is not to say that they want to collude with the fish and the people, but that the status of merchants in that era is very low. If there is no backer, it is like a piece of ownerless fat. It is easy to be swallowed by corrupt officials and bullies, and the more property, the more dangerous it will be. Now I heard that Nanye has the opportunity to become an official but refused. How can Zhang Shiping not be in a hurry?
Nan Ye, who saw through Zhang Shiping's thoughts, smiled and said, "If Su Shuang was here, there would be no such question. The position of a lieutenant in a district, how is it important to be famous? If the world knows me, Nanye, and even your majesty learns my scientific way, what's the difference between being an official or not?
At the beginning, Zhang Shiping thought that Nan Ye really didn't seek fame and fortune, but he didn't expect that the master turned out to retreat as an advance, and the rejection of the official was false, and the fame was true, so he suddenly said, "So this is the master's plan! If the disciple knows his mistake, please punish him.
Nan Ye smiled and said, "You are not a roundworm in my stomach. How can you know my heart? What's the penalty for this?"
Zhang Shiping said, "The apprentice is shallow and shallow, and he can't understand that what the master has done is not a big mistake. But the apprentice questioned the master's decision not to respect the teacher and asked the master to punish him.
Nan Ye has long been used to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping offering themselves as immortals. After listening to Zhang Shiping's words, he joked, "Then I will punish you to prepare the things for teaching. If there is any mistake, you will be expelled from the teacher.
Zhang Shiping didn't know that Nan Ye was joking and almost knelt down. Nan Ye hurriedly pulled him up and told him to go down and prepare. In addition to leaving a few guards to take care of Han Hu and protect Nan Ye, others also went to work with Zhang Shiping.
After Nanye arranged the lecture, he was idle and recalled the process of this face-to-face saint. Generally speaking, there are gains and losses this time. What he got should have won the favor of the minister in the court and was not regarded as a demon who charmed the king. What was lost was that he did not grasp the heart of the spiritual emperor and win the holy family. It seems that we have to work harder on the Emperor Ling in the future.

Recently, the people in Luoyang City have talked about it. The story of the southern mage casting a spell into the gate has not yet subsided, and there is news that the southern mage Jin Hall refuses to be an official. This is a stone that stirs up thousands of waves. Who didn't know that Nanye's victory over Zhang Jiao in front of Mage's array was a strange achievement. They all thought that the court would appoint a senior official for him, but they didn't expect the mage to refuse. Therefore, the people regard Nanye as a foreign master who does not seek fame and fortune.
Before everyone finished digesting the news of Jin Dian's refusal to take office, another colorful shed was set up in the most prosperous downtown area of Luoyang City. I heard that Master Nanye was going to talk about the law here.
People have heard of the law, but this is the first time they have heard of it. Just as everyone was talking, notices were posted around the colorful shed.
This notice is different from ordinary notice. First, it is very large and can be seen from afar. Second, the font on the notice is inconsistent. The word "science" is written in large letters in the middle of the notice, which alone accounts for two-thirds of the notice, and the rest only accounts for one-third of the notice.
When the people saw the word "science" from afar, they gathered under the colorful shed. So a literate person read out the content of the notice: "To the people of the world, there is a Western mage Nanye, who will set up a lecture here on the first day of next month to teach the way of science. The rules are as follows:
The mage came up with a scientific way on the ring. People all over the world, whether they are scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, men, women, old and young, can come to the stage to solve it. Within three days, if someone can solve it and explain its reason, so that this method will be made clear to the world, and the mage will give a hundred taels of silver and make friends with him. Three days later, if no one can solve it, the mage will take the predestined person as an apprentice on the spot and pass on this scientific way. Then set a method question and repeat it like this. Those who see this notice can tell their relatives and friends to participate enthusiastically.
Nan Ye was born in modern times. Naturally, he knew that he had to warm up the advertisements before holding large-scale events. While there were still a few days left to build the ring, he fired the advertisement early. Originally, this color studio was located in the downtown, so that both men, women and children in Luoyang City knew about Nanye's waving the law.
In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment activities, and now there is such a new thing that naturally touches everyone. After tea and dinner, all the discussions were about Nanye's teaching. A few days later, even the counties around Luoyang heard about Nanye's teaching, and some people deliberately went to the city to see the grand occasion. This made Zhao Chuan, the Sima of the city gate very happy. Nan Ye said that he did not charge tickets, but he, a city gate official, had to collect tax on the city. How can he not laugh when he saw the soaring income?
As time went by, the people of Luoyang finally waited until the first day of the first lunar new year. The whole city helped the old and the young gather in front of the ring. This ring is made of solid wood, more than ten feet high, with a colorful shed, a red silk banner on the shed, and a book "The Way of Science". There is also a vertical frame of red silk on the four-cornered shed column, with the book "Mage Nanye".
Originally, Nan Ye wanted to write a couplet or something, but he didn't expect good words. Words such as "boxing Nanshan nursing home and kicking Beihai kindergarten" are obviously not used here, and horizontal criticisms can't write "match to recruit relatives", so they can only give up.
In order to set up the ring, Nan Ye has not only racked his brains these days, but also his legs have become thin. While supervising and guiding craftsmen to make various props, they also have to deal with the officials and eunuchs who come to listen to the truth.
Nan Ye knows that it is very important to become popular. So no matter who comes, there is no comment, and you will know when you say it. Of course, the attitude should not be too tough. It's not fun to anger the emperor and ministers.
Emperor Ling and the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty were full of appetite, but they couldn't find Nanye to trouble for this little thing. I have to wait for the day of the opening. Therefore, at this time, not only the people under the stage, but also many officials and eunuchs came to support them in casual clothes.
When Nanye entered the ring, he immediately felt dizzy, and the black pressure under the ring was full of people. Seeing Nan Ye on the stage, there was a burst of ** in the crowd. Some people whispered, and some people exclaimed "Master Nan Ye".
Nan Ye stood on the stage and clenched his fist, suppressed the tension in his heart, and secretly comforted himself: "The men have seen the big scene of thousands of troops and horses fighting. What is speech on the stage? Not nervous! Not nervous! I'm not nervous!"
The quality of the people in the Later Han Dynasty was still quite high. Seeing that Nan Ye did not speak after coming to the stage, they gradually calmed down. Those whispered commentators also stopped talking after being reminded by the people around them, and thousands of eyes focused on Nanye on the stage.
The silence under the stage, Nanye on the stage became more nervous. But at this time, it won't work if you don't talk. Thinking of becoming a famous man in this move, Nan Ye said bravely, "Fathers of the villagers, my name is Nan Ye. My ancestors are from the Central Plains. In order to avoid the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, I went far away from home. As the saying goes, "Ye Luo returned to the root", and the people of the clan often had the intention of moving back, so they sent me first to explore the Chinese atmosphere.
The people can rest assured that I have come here because I have practiced the way of Western science since I was a child and have learned something. I never thought that as soon as I arrived at the Han Dynasty, the skills I learned would be useful. I saw that Zhang Jiao, the Taiping Taoist, called himself a "great virtuous teacher" and bewitched the world to make trouble against the sky, so he joined the army and broke his demons in a scientific way.
Today, your majesty has made great contributions to my broken thief and allowed me to set up a ring here to teach the law in order to let everyone in the world know that my scientific way is the supreme right path and no longer be confused by Zhang Jiao.
I have already ordered people to post a notice. The first question I'm going to come out today is to cut off living people and die. Those who can understand this law, whether men, women, old and young, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, can come to the stage to preach the law.
