Just as Cao Wei was preparing to attack Shu, the southern Emperor of Wu, Sun Quan, was meeting a young scholar who fled from Qingzhou to Eastern Wu.

This young scholar is named Yinfan.

In recent days, the name Yinfan has been often mentioned in Jianye.

He is not only handsome, but also talented.

Most of the young scholars who fled from the north to the Eastern Wu were impressed by them and gradually formed a small group led by him.

However, the scholars from the north have no foundation after all, and there is a promising family in Jiangdong.

Therefore, the officials of the Eastern Wu who accepted them were at most separated from ordinary people, but if they wanted to go further, it could only depend on their own luck.

Yin Fan waited for several months, but in the end he was only arranged to be a minor official.

He finally couldn't help it. As Nan Gui Shizi, he submitted a self-recommendation memorial to Lord Wu Sun Quan. Yiweizi and Chen Ping compared himself and asked to see Sun Quan.

After seeing the memorial, Sun Quan was amazed at the loud voice. In addition, he had just ascended the throne, and it was the time to win the hearts of the people in the world, so he received Yin Fan out of the ordinary.

After Yin Fan entered the palace, he faced many guards holding spears, without squinting his eyes and calmly demeanor.

Seeing this, Sun Quan first recognized it two points.

Then he specially selected a few questions about current affairs to ask Yinfan, but he saw Yinfan answering in an orderly manner.

Even after answering, Yinfan took the initiative to state the current situation, talked freely, with a graceful and verbal point of view.

Finally said:

"Your Majesty, in the past, Dong Zhongshu sent a peerless beauty to Xiaowu of Han, and today I also want to send a beautiful woman to Your Majesty. This beauty is the "New Law" carefully compiled by Cao Wei."

"After Emperor Gaozu of Han decided to rule the law, he ordered Xiao He to regulate the laws of the world. However, since the Han Dynasty, there have been more than a dozen people who annotated the laws, and there are countless contradictions."

"Your Majesty is in power, and you need to return the laws and regulations of the world to govern the people. If you are not talented, you will dare to send the "New Law" to help Your Majesty return the world to the same place as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, he actually recited the "New Law".

Sun Quan took the "New Law" presented by Yin Fan and compared it, and it was exactly word-of-mouth.

He first heard Yin Fan's words and realized that it was reasonable, and then he was even more happy to get the "New Law".

After the meeting, Sun Quan felt that he was a talented person and asked Hu Zong present with unfulfilled wishes: "What do you think of this person?"

Hu Zong looked down on Yin Fan:

"I first read this person's letter, and his tone was as exaggerated as Dongfang Shuo, and then read this person's words and deeds, and his clever words and sophistry were like Ni Heng. But after listening to his strategy, his talent was far less than that of the two."

After hearing Hu Zong's words, Sun Quan frowned slightly, obviously not interested in Hu Zong's statement.

In fact, like Shu, Wu, there are conflicts between foreign forces and local forces.

Most of the representative figures of foreign representative forces were veterans who followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce in their early years, such as Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, etc.

Most of these people come from the north of the river, in the Sishui and Huai River area, and can be called the Sishui Group.

In the early days, most of the Sihuai Group was in charge of the army, while the Jiangdong Group was in charge of the government, and Sun Quan adjusted in the center.

However, most of the veterans of the Sihuai Group have died in decline, especially since the Battle of Yiling, the Jiangdong family has risen rapidly and has begun to gain military power.

Playing with balance is the instinct of every qualified emperor.

The imbalance between the two sides was naturally not what Sun Quan wanted.

So while he suppresses one side, he also needs to cultivate the other side.

The "Jiyan Case" that implicated Zhang Wen was actually a means of Sun Quan suppressing the Jiangdong family.

What's more, when Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, he killed too many families of the Jiangdong family, which caused huge cracks between the Sun family and the Jiangdong family.

Although Sun Quan has tried his best to repair the relationship between the Sun family and the Jiangdong family.

But in the deepest part of his heart, he was actually quite wary of the Jiangdong family.

When Sun Quan was able to meet Yin Fan in an extraordinary way, he naturally had the idea of ​​cultivating local forces in Jiangdong.

But how could he tell Hu Zongming about this kind of thought?

What's more, in Sun Quan's eyes, Yinfan is also a talent no matter how much he says it.

However, when Sun Ce learned the prefect of Kuaiji, Hu Zong, who was only fourteen years old, was already Sun Ce's disciple.

In addition, Hu Zong himself was the minister who helped the Eastern Wu formulate laws and regulations.

So Sun Quan couldn't express his intentions all of a sudden when Yinfan was evaluated by Hu Zong, so he had to ask again:

"Then what position do you think Yinfan is more suitable?"

Since Hu Zong is not optimistic about Yinfan, he naturally will not propose too high positions:

"He is so talkative, so he should not let him govern the people. It is better to try to arrange a small position for him first."

Hearing Hu Zong’s suggestion, Sun Quan said disagreeably:

"He is now called the leader of the Nangui Shizi and has a great reputation. He has arranged a position as a minor official for him before, which has caused trouble to others."

"If I arrange a small position for him, I am afraid that the world will say that I don't know talents. Now it's time to win people's hearts, so this move is not appropriate."

When Hu Zong heard Sun Quan's words, he thought it made sense, so he asked:

"Who knows what position His Majesty intends to arrange for him?"

Sun Quan had long planned: "The one he said the most was the prison sentence, and it was better to let him be the chief supervisor."

Tingwei Jian was one of the chief officials of Dali Temple and was in charge of prison.

This position is not low.

If you go up again, you will be the Tingwei, one of the three dukes and nine ministers.

Although he felt that His Majesty was too high, Hu Zong knew that his idea had been decided when he heard Sun Quan's tone, and finally did not refute it.

Yin Fan was able to meet the emperor because of a memorial, and he jumped from a minor official to the court magistrate. In the eyes of many people, he only said that he was appreciated by Sun Quan and a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor.

With his deliberate friendship, many ministers of the Wu State were willing to interact with him.

Among them, two of them admire Yinfan the most.

One is General Zuo Zhu Ju, and the other is Taiwei Hao Pu.

Hao Pu's identity is quite special.

He was originally from Jingzhou and once served in Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei entered Shu, he ordered Hao Pu to be the prefect of Lingling.

When Lu Meng attacked the three counties, he planned to surrender to Hao Pu.

Later, when the Han and Wu countries divided Jingzhou equally, the Wu State returned Hao Pu to the Han Dynasty.

Later, the Eastern Wu was behind the alliance, Lu Meng crossed the river in white, and Hao Pu surrendered to the Eastern Wu again.

In this chaotic era, surrendering is not a shameful thing.

But this repeated act of actively surrendering ultimately makes people suspect that there is something wrong with the person's character.

So Hao Pu has an indelible stain on his body, and he is always excluded intentionally or unintentionally on weekdays.

With Yinfan's arrival, it was suggested that Sun Quan attach importance to laws and regulations and implement new laws, which invisibly made the Tingwei, who was in charge of the criminal prison, show his presence.

In addition, Yin Fan is also a surrendered person, and his identity invisibly brought the relationship between the two closer.

As Yinfan's boss, Hao Pu had a great affection for Yinfan. With Yinfan's deliberate approach, the two soon became close friends.

Not only did Hao Pu show his appreciation for Yinfan in front of others many times, he even often sighed that Yinfan was really a talent for being the Chief Supervisor with such talent.

So under the publicity of Zhu Ju and Hao Pu, Yinfan's reputation suddenly resounded throughout Jianye City.

He is famous and is the celebrity in front of His Majesty. In front of Yinfan’s mansion, he has been very lively in recent days, with traffic and crowds coming and going.

Even General Wei had a complete reciprocity and had a close relationship with him.

Wuchang and Jianye are both the centers of Dongwu, and the information between the two places has always been interexistent.

What happened in Jianye soon spread to Wuchang.

When Pan Jun, Taichang, who was left by Lu Xun in Wuchang, was furious when he learned that his son Pan Hu not only had contacts with Yinfan, but even gave him money and food.

I wrote a letter on the spot to scold:

I have received great kindness from the country and have aspirations to repay my destiny. When you are in the capital, you should be respectful and obedient, and be kind to the virtuous. Why do you get along with the surrendered enemy and pay for food? I heard this far away and felt so excited that I was so sad that I was so sad that I had been in a long time. When I was in a hurry, I went to the envoy to receive a hundred sticks and urged me to be responsible for the pay.

Not only did he scold his son, he also sent an envoy to beat his son with a hundred sticks, and even asked him to take back the money and food he sent out.

When people around him heard this, they were puzzled by Pan Jun's reaction, thinking that Pan Jun had done too much.

General Lu Xun couldn't stand it, so he came to persuade him in person:

"Your Majesty admires Yinfan, why did Chengming hate this person alone? Even if Chengming is unwilling to interact with Yinfan, just let the son cut off the relationship."

"Now that the son is asked to take back the things he has given to others, he will not only offend Yinfan, but also be dissatisfied with etiquette and be laughed at by the world."

Pan Jun sighed: "If this is not the case, how can I understand my heart and mind?"

Like the court guard Hao Pu, he was originally a minister of Liu Bei. He was in charge of Jingzhou with Guan Yu as his entrusted ruling.
