Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1055 Liujue, Spyker

Gao Wushi said "Brother Ru Qi" with a smile, which inexplicably made Li Chengliang relax a lot.

It's no wonder he feels this way, after all, Jin Fuhai Gai Bingbei and Governor of Liaodong are two completely different levels.

Even if Gao Yushi was the youngest soldier in the Ming Dynasty before, regardless of his background, in front of Li Chengliang, the chief soldier, he can only really win the word "civilian".

But the governor of Liaodong is different. In terms of real power and leadership, the governor is the superior of the general soldier—don't care what the officials say, it's the truth.

Although, no matter whether Gao Futai's job is the censor of the capital procuratorate, or the right servant of the Ministry of war, he is far inferior to Li Chengliang, Ning Yuanbo, because Li Chengliang's official full-time job is "Caibao and Prince Taibao, Zuojun Dudufu" Zuo Dudu, Chief Soldier Guarding Liaodong, Uncle Ning Yuan", except that the Chief Soldier belongs to the same dispatching officer as the governor, and has no rank in itself (the Chief Soldier of the Qing Dynasty has ranks), and any other position can be taken out. Highly pragmatic, as for titles, it goes without saying.

But none of these things have much practical significance. There are only two points of practical significance: real power and holy family.

In terms of real power, the high-practical governor is the governor, who overwhelms the commander-in-chief—because the original intention of the imperial court to set up a governor is to use civilian officials to check and balance the commander-in-chief guarding one side.

In terms of holy family members, even if you don’t talk about the invisible and intangible things like classmate friendship, just “compared with clothes”, the high pragmatism is better: he specially gave the sitting python robe, while Li Chengliang’s walking python robe.

Therefore, no matter how deep Li Chengliang is in Liaodong, he still can't shake his prestige in front of Gao Yushi, a cheating player. .

But it is conceivable that with Li Chengliang's status in Liaodong, he is really going to be humiliated face to face by Gao Yushi, how can he swallow this tone?No matter how much he is unwilling to tear himself apart with Gao Yushi, it will be inevitable by then.

Fortunately, Gao Pragmatism doesn't seem to be "floating", and he still has the elegant and easy-going appearance a year ago.

At least it seems so.

Of course, Li Chengliang didn't believe that Gao Pragmatic's expression was consistent with his mood, so he cursed secretly in his heart: "Little fox, pretend to be real."

But Li Chengliang himself was not bad at pretending. After hearing Gao Yushi's words, he immediately stepped forward and bowed down like a golden mountain and a jade pillar, saying: "The last general Li Chengliang has met Young Sima, Young Sima Jin'an! "

Gao Wushi originally guessed that Li Chengliang came to see him specially because he meant to seek peace, but he didn't expect Li Chengliang to make such a low attitude.

After all, in all kinds of historical books read in the previous life, the records of Li Chengliang seem to be inseparable from the word domineering. The contrast is a bit big now.

In fact, when Li Chengliang met Gao Yushi last time, his attitude was quite low, but at this time and then, Li Chengliang's attitude was low at that time, mainly not because of Gao Yushi's own face, but because of the several practical schools behind Gao Yushi. Boss, and the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

But this time it was different, Gao Yushi had already beaten Li Chengliang several times, as an ordinary person, he would not have had a good face, not to mention that Li Chengliang himself was also a favorite, and Shen Cifu and the others had already accepted his refuge.

Being able to put on a low profile at a time like this can only show that Li Chengliang is indeed a famous handsome man - capable of bending and stretching.

Gao Wushi also hurried forward, helped Li Chengliang up with all his strength, pretended to be displeased and said, "Brother Ru Qi is so out of touch again? This is to kill my brother...Come on, come on, brother Ru Qi please. "

Li Chengliang said politely: "Young Sima, don't do this, seniors and inferiors don't matter..." But before he finished speaking, he was pulled into the flower hall by Gao Yushi's arm.

Gao Wushi didn't seem to have heard Li Chengliang's politeness, and greeted his family members loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Serve tea...I want good tea, and use the 'Jade Leaf Changchun' that Cao Gan sent not long ago."

Li Chengliang wanted to be polite at first, but when he heard "Jade Leaf Changchun", he held back his polite words and asked: "What Shao Sima said is the best of Mengdingshihua, known as 'Shengyanghua' and 'Auspicious Rui' 'Jade Leaf Changchun'?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "That's right, it's exactly this tea... I heard that it is very rare, and Cao Gan only got some real tea a few years ago. I don't really understand it, I'm afraid that the cow will chew the peony, so I took advantage of Brother Ru Qi It's here, let's have a good taste."

Tea is such a thing, the higher the status, the more people can't refuse it. Although Li Chengliang was poor in his early years, he has developed in recent years, and he is very particular about it. When he heard that it was the real product of "Jade Leaf Changchun", he refused Unable to say it anymore, Mingming still wanted to politely decline, but a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Young Sima is too modest...Since this is the case, Cheng Liang would rather be respectful than obedient."

So the two sat down as guests and hosts, and the two highly pragmatic tea-cooking maids stepped forward and began to demonstrate the tea ceremony.

During the Jialongwan period of the Ming Dynasty, the tea ceremony was not as simple as ordinary people boiled water at home, but it was not as complicated as Lu Yu’s 24 tea utensils in the Tang Dynasty and the “Mr. Twelve Tea Sets” in the Song Dynasty. Basically, it became more and more concise , but still very "professional".

Especially Gao Yushi, who was born in a family of civil servants, must pay attention to the tea ceremony, and Gaodang itself has tea ceremony masters. Lu Shusheng, the author of one of the masterpieces of tea ceremony in the Ming Dynasty, "Tea Lao Ji", is an important member of Gaodang. Characters [Note: The Lu Brothers are occasionally mentioned in the first volume of this book].

"Living in a small room in a garden, dwelling in it for meditation, setting a tea stove in the center, preparing all cooking utensils, and a boy who cooks tea, for the passing monks and poets to drink." This is what Lu Shusheng advocated.

Of course, this is just to emphasize a kind of artistic conception of "tea and Zen". When it comes to the identity of high pragmatism, the color of "Zen" will be thinner, and the style of "leisure" will be stronger.

Therefore, Gao Yushi does not use tea-cooking boys, but tea-cooking maids. Every movement of them is specially trained, not only to cook the tea well, but also to move gracefully.Pingting's graceful figure, gracefully raising her hands to share cups, boil water and make tea, is already extremely beautiful in itself.

Not to mention tasting tea, just appreciating their tea art is already a great enjoyment.

These servant girls were all sent to him after being trained by his highly pragmatic mother Zhang. They specialize in tea art and do nothing else. They are called "tea maids" in the mansion.

Li Chengliang has only developed for more than ten years. Although there is no shortage of power and money, the lack lies in this kind of background. Compared with Zhang's family of generations of rich and wealthy, he is far inferior in these details.

Seeing that the highly pragmatic servant girls are all masters of the tea ceremony, they couldn't help being envious, and said with emotion: "Young Sima's house, but a mere servant girl, is also outstanding in the tea ceremony, and she is a vulgar person, today is the real boss. Chewing peonies."

Gao Wushi smiled lightly, and said: "Brother Ru Qi is too famous, but if you want to talk about the tea ceremony, there are indeed some differences between my Ming tea ceremony and the ancient tea ceremony. "

Li Chengliang quickly waved his hands, and said: "You vulgar people, who drink it after cooking it carelessly, how dare they talk about it?"

This is of course modest. Li Chengliang also has a tea-cooking boy in his family, but he does not specialize in "joy of life" like Zhang's.

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Gai Yu (referring to the tea sage Lu Yu) is more ancient, making it as the end, and using ointment as the cake. When Renzong (Song Renzong) came, he established the names of Dragon, Phoenix and Moon. Mixed with various fragrances and decorated with golden colors, it does not lose its true taste. However, the creatures of the heaven and the earth have their own nature, and there is nothing like leaf tea boiled and sipped, so as to realize its natural nature. Therefore, I have adopted the method of cooking tea in the Ming Dynasty, and at the end Tea utensils, advocating innovation and reformation, are self-contained."

"Oh...so that's it, I've been taught, I've been taught." Li Chengliang replied, while thinking to himself: These civil servants are troublesome. Although your tea art is outstanding, you don't have to mention it all the time. business?

Unexpectedly, when Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Cao arrived. Gao Wu changed his mind and said, "I think the word 'each according to his own nature' is particularly important, just like how soldiers fight, and each general has his own strengths. Some are good at defending, and some are good at attacking." , some people are good at riding, some are good at walking..."

Li Chengliang's eyes froze, he concentrated all of a sudden, and looked at Gao Yushi.

Gao Wushi didn't seem to care about Li Chengliang's reaction, but continued: "Since this is the case, the imperial court should also be particular about employing people. Those who are good at defending should be asked to defend, those who are good at attacking should be asked to attack, and those who are good at riding should be asked to attack. A general rides, and those who are good at walking call him generals.

By extension, the same is true.If he is suitable for solving cases, let him settle cases with peace of mind; if he is suitable for leading soldiers, let him concentrate on leading soldiers; "

Li Chengliang always felt that Gao Wu had something to say in the truth, but when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing surprising about what he said.

Gao Wushi could see a hint of doubt from Li Chengliang's expression. It happened that the tea-cooking maid presented them with fragrant tea, which was the second soup—the first boiled water was used to wash the tea leaves quickly, and it was the first soup. This time it was not For drinking, as a tea wash, the second soup is the serious first cup of tea.

Gao Wushi smiled and picked up the small teacup, motioned to Li Chengliang, and said, "Replace wine with tea, and honor Brother Ru Qi's ten years of conquest of Liao, please."

Li Chengliang quickly picked up the small teacup in front of him, and said: "Chengliang dares to say meritorious service for a little bit of effort? Within three years of Shao Sima, Annan and Dingbei, such extraordinary achievements, I have to respect, please!"

The two said that they used tea instead of wine, and toasted each other, and then they naturally wanted to admire a few words of tea fragrance and tea rhyme. After putting down the teacup, Gao Pragmatic continued the topic just now: "The so-called knowing people and doing things well, sometimes you need Think about other things."

Li Chengliang made up his mind not to pick up the quarrel, so as not to be led into the ditch by the little fox. Hearing this, although his heart moved, he just asked back: "Oh? For example?"

Gao Wushi said: "Let's take this tea as an example. Tea is a medicine. In the old "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", there is a saying: 'Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered 72 poisons every day, and got tea to cure them'.

However, "Erya·Shimu" says: "槚, bitter tea." 'Chu, vanilla is also, tea contains fragrance, hence the name.Mingjiao is the late picker of tea.Ming is also a general term for tea.The use of tea is not only for medicine and food, but also for hospitality.

But the use of "hospitality" is obviously more than "medicine". Therefore, over time, when people mention tea, the first thing that comes to mind is as a drink, not a medicine.

The same is true of the imperial court's employing people: some people may not only be good at one skill, they can be used for one thing or another, and how to use it depends on where it can be used to a greater extent..."

Li Chengliang gradually understood Gao Pragmatic's intentions, and replied with a smile that was not a smile: "If you compare tea, it seems that a generalist like Shao Sima, who can stabilize the country with literature and stabilize the country with martial arts, is more appropriate. If Chengliang is like this Generally speaking, it can only be compared to a sword, no matter how you use it, it is nothing more than a killing tool after all.”

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Brother Ru Qi's words are absurd, the sword is not just a weapon for killing people?"

Li Chengliang frowned slightly: "I want to ask Young Sima Gaolun for advice."

Gao Wushi said: ""Sui Shu · Etiquette Records" contains: the first grade, jade sword, wearing mountain black jade; Ten, the sword is on the hall, and it can be seen that the sword is not only used as a killing tool, but also as an instrument."

Li Chengliang was silent for a moment, exhaled lightly, and asked a little dejectedly: "Dare to ask, in the eyes of Shao Sima, should the general be a weapon of murder or a weapon of honor?"

"Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the coquettish for... ten years." Gao Wushi smiled slightly, and said: "I heard, brother Ru Qi, all sons and nephews are talented, not to mention the eldest son Ru Song, who was beheaded last time." Dong Huli is already famous all over the world, even the Rubai and Rumei brothers, who also made outstanding contributions in the first battle of Gule Village, can be regarded as the sons of generals."

Although Li Chengliang was a little depressed, he still cheered up and replied at this time: "Young Sima is too famous. Cheng Liang's sons, Ru Song, although brave, but light and unprepared, quick-tempered and less resourceful, is the courage of a man. If he is not careful in the future, I am afraid that there is a hidden danger of dying at the hands of villains here;
Rubai's appearance is nothing more than a middle-aged man, he just relied on Cheng Liang Weimo's false name to occupy his position, so let's not mention it;
If Mei was young, I doted on him the most, so it is inevitable that he will spoil her. He has an unspeakably firm mind. If he is a lieutenant general, he should be competent. , also can not carry on. "

Gao Wushi was very surprised when he heard it, and at this moment he even wanted to ask Li Chengliang: Brother Ru Qi, do you know fortune-telling?
It turns out that what Li Chengliang said just now, if we look at the development of the original history, all of them are unfortunately true!
It seems that the words of knowing a son is more like a father are really reasonable.

But now Gao Wuzhen couldn't answer Li Chengliang along this line of thought, he couldn't even show surprise, he could only smile lightly, and said: "There is a way that a jade cannot be cut into a weapon, if they still can't get out of the protection of brother Ru Qi's wings, How can there be a time to fight against the sky in the future? I am not afraid that brother Ruqi will laugh at me frivolously, so I will take my younger brother as an example: If my third uncle Gao Wenzheng is still there today, my younger brother may have to stay in Beijing to study, and it is even inconvenient to return to his hometown for reference , What are the six champions, what is Annan Dingbei, how could there be?"

Li Chengliang was silent for a moment, then sighed: "What Shao Sima said is also true... But I don't know when Shao Sima thinks it is better for Cheng Liang to retire?"

Gao Wushi smiled, and replied: "It's not in a hurry now, there is one more thing, I need to wait for my younger brother to create an opportunity for brother Ru Qi... After that matter is done, brother Ru Qi must be able to take care of him with peace of mind, Sit back and watch the masters show their abilities."

Li Chengliang said in astonishment: "I don't know what's going on? Can Young Sima reveal a thing or two?"

Gao Wushi said: "Why not disclose it? In short, this matter is to replace Liujue with Shijue for Brother Ru Qi."
