Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 72 Use according to your ability, wipe away your arrogance

The young man's surname is Mi and his name is Heng. He has shown outstanding literary talent and eloquence talent since he was a child. He has read a lot of books and has a photographic memory.

However, Mi Heng's personality is impatient, arrogant, and grotesque. When criticizing current events and commenting on the world, he often speaks casually regardless of the occasion, so he offended many people and was often isolated by scholars in the same county.

So that other scholars gradually became famous, or were recommended by officials, or praised by great Confucian scholars, but your stigma outweighed your talent, and even the clansmen refused to get close to You Heng.

It's an anecdote that a dignified son from a noble family in Banxian County lived to be seventeen or eighteen years old. Apart from these two gentlemen, his family didn't have any extra money and food.

But you keep your own way and don't take others' advice seriously.

There is a detached attitude of "everyone is drunk but I am alone" and "the world is filthy and I am clean".

The four words of relying on talent and being proud of things are vividly expressed in Mi Heng.

"Hey, isn't this your young man? Why does your young man want to come to seek an official? Have you been crowned yet?"

"Mi Heng, please don't meddle in it. What else can your mouth do besides harming others?"

"Your Majesty Jun Cheng can command troops to kill people. Don't hurt yourself by talking nonsense, and implicate us."

"If you are full of articles but have no talent for managing the world, don't come to harm the people."

"It's really unlucky, how could you be in the same rank as Mi Heng."

"."

Seeing that Mi Heng also came to the county government to ask for an official, all the scholars showed their disgust for Mi Heng.

After all, none of the scholars present had not been scolded by Mi Heng.

However, Ni Heng scolded people, and also quoted scriptures, and his literary talent was brilliant, which made these scholars feel uncomfortable.

I want to appreciate the literary rhetoric, but find that the literary rhetoric is scolding myself, which is uncomfortable for everyone.

"Swallow, do you know the ambition of the great swan?"

Mi Heng looked up proudly, dismissing the scholars around him.

But gradually, Mi Heng became a little anxious.

This scholar went in and out of the county government office, but he didn't call Mi Heng's name.

Even those who arrived later than Mi Heng have already left.

Although the scholars can't scold Mi Heng, they can use some tricks to isolate Mi Heng.

Seeing that it was already Haishi, Mi Heng was still blowing the night wind.

The bleak autumn wind made Mi Heng feel more and more lonely.

If this was before, Mi Heng would have waved his sleeves and left long ago.

But today so many scholars have seen Mi Heng come to ask for an official, if they leave without seeing Zheng Ping, Mi Heng will lose face.

A tree lives with a piece of skin, and a person lives with a breath.

Especially for someone as arrogant as Mi Heng, he also has to fight for his arrogance.

"This Zheng Ping is also a layman!" Mi Heng felt a little impatient.

It wasn't until Mi Heng was left alone in this battle that Sanli notified Mi Heng to go inside to see Zheng Ping.

"Humph~"

Mi Heng glanced contemptuously at the scattered officials, straightened his clothes, and expressed the requirements of poetry and etiquette on the appearance and pace of scholars to the extreme, showing the elegance of Confucian scholars.

Mi Heng had already thought up the rhetoric in his mind, and was going to scold Zheng Ping angrily, and then waved his sleeves to leave, in order to understand his thoughts.

But in the inner hall, Mi Heng did not see Zheng Ping, only Deng Xu was waiting quietly in the inner hall.

"Mr. You, Mr. Xianmou has already rested, please come back tomorrow." Deng Xu had a smile on his face, these seemingly rude words were spoken very naturally.

Mi Heng's face changed, and his tone became more sullen: "Rest? Then why did you call me in?"

After blowing the autumn wind in the middle of the night, I was about to start scolding, but found that the Lord told me to come back tomorrow?
Mi Heng felt that all the hot blood was blocked in his throat, he couldn't go up or down, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Deng Xu handed a letter to Mi Heng, and said with a smile: "Mr. You, don't blame me! Mr. Xianmou knew that this was a bit rude, so he left a letter to apologize to Mr. You."

"Mr. Xianmou has been fighting for days, and today he has met many scholars who are seeking an official position. He is already exhausted. Please forgive me, sir!"

Mi Heng looked at the letter, but he was understanding in his heart.

There is time to write letters, but no time to see yourself, this can fool a fool.

snort!
I want to see how Zheng Ping apologizes.

Mi Heng didn't leave, and directly opened the letter in front of Deng Xu, scanning the contents.

But the next moment, Mi Heng's eyes became horrified, and she subconsciously took a step back.

The content of this letter is said to be a letter of apology, but it is four poems.

Four composed poems of drinking alone under the moon by the poet Li Bai.

One: A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date.Raise your glass to invite the bright moon, face each other and form three people
Second: if the sky does not love wine, the star of wine is not in the sky.If the earth does not love wine, the earth should have no fountain of wine
Third: Xianyang City in March, thousands of flowers and day like brocade.Who can worry about spring alone, he must drink for this
Fourth: There are thousands of poverty and sorrow, and three hundred glasses of fine wine.There is a lot of sorrow, but there is little wine, but there is no sorrow in the wine
These four poems describe the desolate scene of a depressed scholar drinking alone under the flowers on a moonlit night, but no one gets close to him. Although he is depressed in his heart, he can only regard the moon as his friend and sing to wine.

But scholars seem to be able to enjoy themselves, but deep down there is endless desolation, the loneliness and arrogance of being underappreciated, and the unrestrained and uninhibited boldness in frustration.

Different people and different states of mind look at the same poem and feel differently.

If Deng Xu looked at these four combined poems, he would probably only feel that the rhetoric is gorgeous, but he has no empathy.

However, Mi Heng is different!

Aren't these four combined poems exactly the portrayal of Mi Heng's heart?

"Beihai Zheng Xianmou, you actually know me, Ni Heng?"

Although he dismissed the contempt of scholars from the same county, Mi Heng still hoped to be recognized in his heart.

If you really didn't care about the thoughts of the people around you, Ni Heng would have retired to the mountains and forests long ago, instead of coming out to comment on current affairs and judge the world, let alone begging an official to see Zheng Ping today.

However, Zheng Ping didn't see him on purpose, but gave Mi Heng these four poems of drinking alone under the moon, which surprised Mi Heng and felt ashamed.

After all, Mi Heng had prepared a lot of rhetoric to anger Zheng Ping.

As a result, Zheng Ping presented him with poems.

And these four poems, no matter in terms of rhetoric or artistic conception, have surprised You Heng as a heavenly man!

"Mr. You, Mr. You—" Seeing Mi Heng staring at the letter in a daze, Deng Xu reminded him.

Mi Heng woke up with a start, adjusted his appearance, and said politely: "Since Mr. Juncheng is tired from marching, Wansheng will not bother you. Please tell me, Wansheng will come to visit early tomorrow morning."

Immediately, Mi Heng bowed and backed out of the inner hall, then turned and left.

Late birth?

Deng Xu looked surprised, looking at Mi Heng's leaving back, as if he heard some strange words.

"Didn't you say that you are proud of your talent? He called himself a late student just now?" Deng Xu looked at the official on the right, who was the newly recruited scholar Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui's expression at this time was also extremely complicated.

As a scholar of Ban County, Zhao Rui is very clear about Mi Heng's character.

From the high officials to the small officials, except for Beihai Kong Rong, who was praised by Mi Heng, the rest of the scholars in the world have nothing good to say about Mi Heng.

But now, Mi Heng only saw Zheng Ping's letter, and claimed to be a late student, and even bowed backwards when leaving, this humility is too obvious.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Rui wouldn't have believed it was Mi Heng!
Zhao Rui took a deep breath: "Lord Captain, do you know the content of the letter that Lord Chancellor Jun Cheng wrote to You Heng?"

Deng Xu nodded: "Mr. said that Mi Heng was conceited and talented, so he wrote four poems for Mi Heng to comment on."

poetry?
Zhao Rui was even more surprised.

Although he can't understand Mi Heng's arrogance, Zhao Rui admires Mi Heng's level of rhetoric.

Mi Heng is proud of his talent, not his appearance.

However, it was precisely because Zhao Rui knew that Mi Heng was talented that he was surprised.

Let Mi Heng, who has always relied on his literary talents, be modestly called a late student. How exquisite are Zheng Ping's poems?
back room.

Zheng Ping marked the list of scholars who came to seek an official today, one by one.

Just governing a county, the scholars who come to seek officials from such a county are enough.

Zheng Ping didn't require these scholars to have much political achievements, he only needed these scholars to strictly implement the government orders issued by Liu Bei.

Among these scholars, the one who caught Zheng Pingneng's eyes was Mi Heng.

Although Ni Heng is proud of his talent, he is really talented.

However, Mi Heng's talents are not herding and guarding the side, governing the people and keeping the people safe, nor being a minister of state and making decisions about state affairs.

Miheng's talent lies in documents!

When it comes to paperwork, Ni Heng handles it properly, which is more important, which is more important, which is closer and which is close.

Mi Heng is a genius who is good at writing official documents!

For example, if you want to publish a list to comfort the people, Mi Heng can write the list so that the scholars and common people who read the list are in a happy mood and can't find any faults.

If you want to play Shangguan, Mi Heng can also arrange the priority of the content of the document clearly.

It's just that such a genius can't control his mouth.

Obviously you can write official documents with high EQ, but once you debate with others, it often becomes low EQ.

It was not Zheng Ping's whim to gift Ni Heng with a poem.

Back in Gaotang County, Zheng Ping had already thought about how to make good use of Mi Heng's talent.

On the level of documents, Mi Heng can compete with Chen Lin.

Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, was only trying to guard after all. He was appointed by Chen Jirang, and he was not formally conferred by the imperial court.

Even if Liu Bei is elected as the governor of Qingzhou in the future, it can only be a false post.

No matter how good the reasons are, Liu Bei's position is not justified.

Therefore, Zheng Ping needs a genius who can speak eloquently and is good at official documents to be responsible for writing documents to silence the crowd, and to send a sincere memorial to the emperor of Chang'an!

And Mi Heng is very suitable for this position!

People make the best use of their talents.

Only by placing talents in the right place can they be allowed to display their true talents.

If you only measure Mi Heng's talent but not Mi Heng's comprehensive ability, and let Mi Heng manage such a county, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the general county.

The former county magistrate who abandoned the city and fled is better than Mi Heng in terms of being a county magistrate!
But Mi Heng is too arrogant. If Mi Heng is directly responsible for the documents, it will make Mi Heng feel that she is underappreciated.

Therefore, Zheng Ping gave Mi Heng the four combined poems of the poet Li Bai after gaining insight into Mi Heng's state of mind.

In terms of gorgeous rhetoric and artistic conception of poetry, who can compete with Li Bai for this ancient and modern talent?

Although being Wen Chaogong has a heart, but Zheng Ping is a counselor, and which counselor is not heartless?
Using Li Bai's poems to suppress Mi Heng's arrogance and let Ni Heng's talents be used by Liu Bei is Zheng Ping's scheming strategy. What bad things can happen even if he becomes a palindrome copyist?

"gentlemen."

Deng Xu came to the inner room and knocked on Zheng Ping's door.

After getting the consent, Deng Xu pushed the door in and reported Mi Heng's reaction one by one.

"Mr. You said that you will come to pay a visit tomorrow morning."

"It's just that it's said that you are proud of your talents, but today you claim to be a late born, which is surprising."

There was more curiosity in Deng Xu's tone.

Zheng Ping smiled but did not answer, put down the list of scholars in his hand, his eyes fell on the map of the nine counties in Pingyuan, and asked: "What is the result of the interrogation of the soldiers?"

Deng Xu shivered, put away his curiosity, and said calmly: "From the stroke of the Huangjin Jiang who was interrogated today, I learned that the Huangjin who attacked Yanci, Leling, and Ban counties were all under the command of a Qushuai who claimed to be the local public. "

"This person claims to be the descendant of Zhang Bao, the local general. He preaches in the boundaries of the three counties and wants to do justice for the heavens, but no one knows his real name."

"The leader of the thieves who escaped today is that land lord Qushuai."

Zheng Ping's eyes were sarcasm: "Digong Qushuai, a missionary, seems to be a scholar who is as frustrated as Zhang Jiao. It's a pity that he is so talented that he can only play these crooked ways."

"Using the hatred of the common people, Li Shu, but doing selfish things, dare to call yourself the commander of the land, and make false claims to do justice for the sky?"

"Heh~, a thief is a thief, and the pattern is just that big."

Dropping a stone on a map of Leling County, Zheng Ping ordered awe-inspiringly: "Deng Duwei, take 200 people and go here in the starry night. Relying on the dangerous mountains and forests, water springs and forests to build a camp, it must be completed within three days! "

"Pay attention to the hidden soldiers, and anyone who dares to peek into the camp will be killed!"

Seeing that Zheng Ping issued a new tactical order, Deng Xu did not dare to neglect, and took the order: "Don't worry, sir, I promise to complete the task!"

After Deng Xu left, Zheng Ping took off his long gown, and took off the sachet hanging behind his elbow.

Although the marriage with Kong Su was a marriage of interests, Zheng Ping was also moved by this girl who gave her a sachet when they first met.

"Time and distance can best test the depth of feelings."

"Although it is a marriage, the relationship can also be managed."

Zheng Ping felt a little emotional, and hung the sachet back behind his elbow.

After blowing out the candle, Zheng Ping soon fell into a deep sleep.

Zheng Ping is very busy with his daily affairs, and it is inseparable from a good sleep to keep energetic at all times.

With ten years of self-discipline training, Zheng Ping can fall asleep in a short period of time.

When the rooster crowed, Zheng Ping got up and came to the courtyard, where he began to practice Wu Qin Xi day after day.

Only a strong body can manage everything.

Although everyone despises Sima Yi, it has to be admitted that Sima Yi has achieved the ultimate in longevity.

He is also doing a lot of things every day, but he can live more than ten years longer than Zhuge.

Just finished playing a set of Wuqinxi, the gatekeeper came in to report:
"Master Jun Cheng, I beg you to see me!"
