Origin and Story of 谈辞如云
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Ying was an upright official, serving from the Inspector of Qingzhou to the Commander of Wuhuan and Prefect of Changle. He detested evil and was merciless in punishing corrupt officials. Many scholars wished to befriend him, as gaining his acceptance was akin to 'ascending the dragon gate.'
Fu Rong went to visit Li Ying, and their conversation was extremely congenial. They felt as if they had known each other for a long time, their words flowing out like clouds, and thus they became close friends.
