Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 118 God has a clue
Not long after, Kuai Liang saw a scribe walking in.

This scribe does not have a crown on his head, but wears a scarf. The scarf wraps his hair from forehead to back and is tied tightly with a scarf. The remainder hangs naturally on the scribe's shoulders.

The scribe was more than eight feet tall, with an upright appearance and a light complexion. There was a quality of poetry and calligraphy in him.

'Good style. Kuai Liang praised the scribe's appearance and temperament from the bottom of his heart, and expected that this person was Qin Mi, who Wang Shang said was beneficial to the land and had unparalleled knowledge.

Qin Mi walked to the front of the hall and bowed proudly, then walked towards the seat reserved for him on the right side.

He had not planned to attend the banquet today. He further said that he had been staying in Mianzhu, Guanghan a few days ago, wandering leisurely in the countryside, devoted himself to learning, studying classics intensively, not caring about worldly affairs, and had no intention of becoming an official.

But something changed his mind.

One was from Wang Shang, a fellow in the same county with him, who sent him a letter: "How can one be poor and miserable for the rest of his life?"Bian He showed off his jade to dazzle the world, so he should come and meet the state minister. '

Wang Shang advised him to become an official in his letter, hoping that he would not live in poverty and let him follow Bianhe's practice of showing off his beautiful jade to the world, and come to Chengdu to meet Liu Zhang, the prefecture pastor, to show off his talents.

In addition, his good friend Peng Yi recommended him to Zhou Mu Liu Zhang after entering the Prefecture Mufu, saying that he was upright, upright, and sincere. Even the ancient hermits could not compare with him. Therefore, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang Anche Pulun was sent to Guanghan to recruit him, hoping that he would serve as an official in the Prefectural Mufu.

However, neither Yizhou Biejia's Yin Yin's words nor Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang's installation of the chariot and the Pulun did not shake Qin Mi's desire to live in seclusion.

What really shook Qin Mi's desire to live in seclusion and make him decide to become an official was when he heard that Liu Zhang personally went to Nanzhong to conquer the Soyi people and make decisions for the people of Nanzhong.

As a native of Guanghan in Yizhou, Qin Mi naturally couldn't stay away when Liu Zhang was leading troops to fight for people from the same state, so he came to Chengdu.

After taking his seat, Qin Mi followed his usual quiet temperament and did not drink or drink with anyone else, but just drank quietly by himself.

But the peace he had was soon broken.

The guests at today's banquet, Kuai Liang, the envoy sent by Jingzhou to Yizhou, paid tribute to him and said: "Wang Biejia said that Mr. Wang Biejia said that he was very talented and learned in Yitu. He is called a bachelor. I don't know if he has learned anything in his heart?"

Qin Mi drank the wine from the cup and answered Kuai Liang's question seriously: "All the three-foot-tall children in Shu study, let alone me?"

Kuai Liang was more interested. In addition to the alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou, he was also entrusted by Liu Biao to showcase Jing Xiang's literary talents and let Yizhou scholars see Jing Xiang's humanities.

He asked Qin Mi: "I wonder what Qin Jun is learning?"

Qin Mi replied calmly: "From astronomy to geography, the three religions and nine streams, hundreds of schools of thought, everything is comprehensive; the rise and fall of ancient and modern times, the scriptures of sages, and everything."

Kuai Liang asked with a smile: "Since Mr. Qin has said something great, please ask the sky: Does the sky have a head?" Qin Mi replied: "Yes." Kuai Liang asked: "Where is the head?" Qin Mi replied. : "In the West. "Poetry" says: 'He is looking to the West.' According to this, the head is in the West."

Kuai Liang asked: "Does heaven have ears?" Qin Mi replied: "Heaven is high and listening is low. "Poetry" says: 'The crane roars in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky.' How can you hear without ears?"

Kuai Liang asked: "Does the sky have enough?" Qin Mi replied: "There does. The "Poetry" says: 'It is difficult to walk in the sky.' How can you walk without enough?"

As the two asked and answered, everyone at the banquet who exchanged glasses fell silent and listened quietly to the two's answers.

Kuai Liang asked: "Does heaven have a surname?" Qin Mi replied: "How can there be no surname?" Kuai Liang asked: "What surname is it?" Qin Mi replied: "The surname is Liu." Kuai Liang asked: "How do you know it? ?" Qin Mi replied: "The emperor's surname is Liu, so I know him from his past."

Kuai Liang asked: "Is Sun born in the east?" Qin Mi replied: "Although he was born in the east, he did not die in the west."

Qin Mi in front of him spoke clearly and answered questions fluently, which made Kuai Liang break into a cold sweat. He felt that he had underestimated the scholars of Shu.

He originally thought that Shu was a remote and small state, and apart from a few outstanding scholars, such as Zhang Song, who had a photographic memory, there should be no great sages.

But now Qin Mi, a bachelor from Yizhou, can't trouble him, which makes him a little ashamed and his face turns red.Seeing that Kuai Liang was silent, Qin Mi spoke. He first complimented Kuai Liang: "Kuai Jun is a famous scholar in Jingxiang. Since he asks questions about heavenly affairs, he will definitely be able to understand the principles of tomorrow."

"In the past, chaos was divided, and yin and yang were divided; the light and pure ones floated up to become the sky, and the heavy and turbid ones condensed down and became the earth; until the Gonggong family was defeated, the head touched Mount Buzhou, the pillars of heaven were broken, and the earth was missing: the sky tilted to the northwest, The earth sinks to the southeast. Since the sky is light and clear and floats upward, why does it tilt to the northwest? And I don’t know what else is beyond the light and clear?"

"May Mr. Kuai teach me."

After a long while, more and more cold sweat started to form on his head. Kuai Liang, who had a pensive look on his face, gave up thinking, raised his hands to Qin Mi, avoided the table and thanked him: "I didn't expect that there are so many heroes in Sichuan. There is Zhang Jun in front of me." Later, there was a king of Qin who just heard the lecture and made his servants understand."

"Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong and other great sages have successors." He sighed with emotion.

Wang Shang, who was presiding over the banquet, saw Kuai Liang being questioned. In order not to embarrass Kuai Liang, the envoy from Jingzhou, he said to Kuai Liang: "Asking questions during the banquet is just a joke. I know the way to stabilize the country." What a show of lips and teeth!”

For the step Wang Shang offered, Kuai Liang handed it over with a somewhat ashamed look on his face.

After a small interlude of literary fighting, the banquet returned to a lively and cheerful scene.
-
Chengdu, the backyard of the Zhou Mufu.

Liu Hao, who lives in the backyard, has been very peaceful these days. He is studying and practicing calligraphy in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion without any action, so that it seems that there is no such young master like him in the manor.

But now, with no one around, he showed his true nature, with a fierce light on his face, like an evil tiger that was about to eat people at the next moment.

Now he is in a very bad mood. On the one hand, there is good news coming back from Nanzhong. His younger brother Liu Zhang is constantly winning and winning in Nanzhong, and it is estimated that Nanzhong will be pacified soon.

On the other hand, he heard some rumors that his noble wife Wu Ran had an unclear relationship with his brother Liu Zhang.

Relating to what Liu Zhang did after taking office in Yizhou, Liu Hao felt that this was not a rumor, but something that could be confirmed.

No wonder his brother Liu Zhang moved Wu Ran to Liu Xun's residence.

No wonder his younger brother Liu Zhang valued Wu Yi and Wu Ban, two sons of the Wu family, so much. Wu Yi became a military official, and Wu Ban was accepted as a personal guard by Liu Zhang.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

Thinking of this, Liu Hao clenched his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and his delicate face was distorted.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door. Liu Hao took a deep breath for a few moments, calmed down his face, and returned to his former image of a handsome young man.

He knew that the servant who delivered the meals every day had arrived. The servant was not a fixed person, but was assigned randomly.

When the servant stepped into the house, Liu Hao saw the servant's face clearly, and his face suddenly showed surprise. This servant was his confidant Wang Sheng.

As Liu Mao who followed Liu Yan to Shu, Liu Yan had always been in charge of major affairs in the state, and he was basically responsible for handling all matters in the government. As a result, he attracted a lot of people's hearts and had many loyal dogs in the state Mufu.

Therefore, after he and Liu Zhang clashed over Aunt Wang's matter, most of the servants who were close to him disappeared from the mansion. The mansion was cleaned up by his younger brother Liu Zhang, but he still had two or three secrets left. Wang Sheng is one of them.

While placing the food box, Wang Sheng said softly in a voice that could only be heard by Liu Hao: "Master, General Zhao Zhonglang said that Chong'er was born outside and Shen Sheng died inside. Please think of him."

After saying this, Wang Sheng closed his mouth, as if he had never spoken a word, and his face was as dumb as a duck.

'Chong'er was born outside, Shen was born inside and died. Hearing this, Liu Hao thought deeply.
