Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 8 On Liu Bang and Xiang Yu

Li Shishi opened his mouth, and everyone stopped arguing, but Zhou Bangyan and the others still had expressions of indignation on their faces. They were obviously very dissatisfied with Wu Dong's words, thinking that Wu Dong violated the norms and was outrageous.

Wu Dong is dismissive of these people, they are just a group of boring literati, which are of no benefit to the country, what skills do they have besides reciting poems and making love, reciting the wind and playing with the moon?

When the Liao people, Jin people or Mongols came to fight, these people fled one after another.Fleeing to a safe place, immediately "the green hills outside the mountains, the buildings outside the buildings, when will the West Lake dance and dance stop, the warm wind makes tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is called Bianzhou".Those who can't escape are those who surrender to the foreign race and become the lackeys of the foreign race, not as good as those ordinary people who dare to fight.

At this time, the servant girl opened her mouth and said, "The second question, what kind of food is offered to you, and you have to pay for it yourself?"

When this question was asked, the young masters in the building were stunned again.

The previous question was too easy, but this question is too difficult.

The young masters couldn't help frowning in thought, some of them scratched their heads and scratched their cheeks, with anxious expressions on their faces.

You know, in order to see Li Shishi, each of these people spent 10 taels of silver. This 10 taels of silver is not a small sum of money for many young masters.They don't want to spend the money in vain, they want to really see the beauty.

Zhou Bangyan was also frowning at this moment and thought about it. He thought about many answers, but felt a little unreliable.How can there be any reason why you have to pay for it when others invite you to eat?Could it be that someone forgot to bring money?Or is it someone who treats guests in the name of treats, but is actually slaughtering people?

At this moment, Wu Dong burst into laughter in his heart, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty had a brain teaser.

At that moment Wu Dong was not polite, he stood up and said: "It's simple, take a lawsuit... If someone invites you to take a lawsuit, you have to pay if you lose."

After Wu Dong finished speaking, the young masters in the building showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and some of them were full of regret. They never thought that such a "simple" question could not be answered.

The servant girl also showed a look of surprise, and said: "This strong man is so smart, he is in a lawsuit... Only you, strong man, can answer this question. If you can answer the third question below, you can see him." Miss my family."

Wu Dong said: "I don't know what the third question is?"

The servant girl smiled and said, "The third question is, if you ask a question, my lady can't answer it."

"Ah!" Wu Dong was stunned for a moment, and the young masters in the building were also stunned. Lin Chong and Mrs. Lin were also a little stunned, thinking that Master Li is really too tricky.

Those sons all looked at Wu Dong, hoping that Wu Dong would make a fool of himself. It would be best if Li Shishi could answer Wu Dong's question quickly, and then they would have a chance to meet Li Shishi.

Wu Dong pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, let me ask Miss Li a question—what is the most difficult question in the world?"

Wu Dong's question was "what is the most difficult problem in the world", and when the maid went to find the young lady, the young masters in the building began to discuss it.

"What is the most difficult problem? Could it be how to govern the country?" a young master asked.

"Could it be how many stars are there in the sky? How many hairs are there on a human head"

"Could it be how to become immortal and enlightened?"

... The young masters talked a lot, and none of them was able to determine what the "most rare question" was.

This time even Li Shishi was really stumped. After a quarter of an hour, the servant girl came out and said: "This question has no solution, my lady can't answer it. Strong man, you can come up now. "

******

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Wu Dong went upstairs, Lin Chong and Lin Niangzi followed behind him.

Zhou Bangyan was the most angry. First, he was angry that he had lost to a martial artist, and second, he was angry that Li Shishi's questions were too tricky, which was just nonsense.

Now Zhou Bangyan is not interested in Li Shishi anymore, he stood up and said: "Li Shishi is nothing more than that, he has a false name, so I leave."

After Zhou Bangyan left, the rest of the young masters sighed for a while, and then left one after another, not to mention that.

Wu Dong, Lin Chong, and Mrs. Lin had already reached the second floor, but they were stopped by the servant girl and said: "My lady only sees a strong man, and the rest can't wait to go in."

Wu Dong frowned, and said, "They are all my attendants, they just want to see Master Li's demeanor, they have no other purpose."

The maid wanted to say more, but at this time Li Shishi's voice came: "Please come in."

So, Wu Dong, Lin Chong, and Lin Niangzi entered Li Shishi's room together, looking at it curiously.

The layout of the room is very elegant, without much decoration. In the middle of the room is a long table with a qin and a pot of flowers on it. Behind the qin is the famous Li Shishi.

Needless to say, Mr. Li's heavenly fragrance and national beauty, what is even more surprising is that she exudes a gentle and graceful aura, which is very touching.

A long skirt, like a peony among thousands of flowers, gives people the feeling of a fairy coming down to earth.

It's no wonder that Li Shishi's reputation has been passed down through the ages. Even in modern society, no one can match such an appearance and temperament.She doesn't even have to do anything, just sit there and catch everyone's attention.

"I've seen Mrs. Shi Shi." Wu Dong saluted and said.

"Three, please sit down. The strong man is quick-witted and has unique insights. Don't you know Gao's name?" Li Shishi said.

Seeing Wu Dong so tall and handsome, Li Shishi's eyes were filled with brilliance. She had been in the brothel for many years, and this was the first time she saw such a handsome man as Wu Dong.

"Qinghe Wudong." Wudong said.

As for Lin Chong and Mrs. Lin, Liu Ji will not introduce them. One of them is a fugitive and the other is the target of the Taiwei Mansion. Naturally, it is inconvenient to introduce them to Li Shishi.

"It turned out to be a strong warrior, what is the answer to the last question?" Li Shishi said.

Regarding this question, Wu Dong certainly can't answer it in a sophistical way, saying that "the most difficult question is this question", saying this will only make Master Li look down upon it.

At the moment Wu Dong said: "I don't have an answer to this question. Because everyone thinks differently, the most difficult questions in everyone's mind are also different. This is one of them. The second is that society is constantly developing. The most difficult problem may not be considered a problem in the future.”

Li Shishi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "That's true, the young master is highly talented, and Shishi has been taught."

Lin Chong and Lin Niangzi had also been thinking about the answer to this question, and now they heard Wu Dong's answer, and they were constantly admiring in their hearts.Although Wu Dong said he didn't know the answer, Wu Dong's answer carried worldly philosophies, and he obviously had his own unique views on human nature and the world.

Of course, Wu Dong's answer is nothing in modern times, but in ancient times with strict etiquette and rigid thinking, it is commendable.

Li Shishi was silent for a moment, and said: "It is fate to meet the three of you. A few days ago, I made a piece of music and played it for you to listen to."

At that moment Li Shishi began to fiddle with the Changqin and played it.

The sound of the piano is melodious, sometimes impassioned, sometimes twisted and turned, which is heartbreaking, and finally sad and sad, which makes people feel like a hero has ended.

After Li Shishi finished playing, the sound of her piano seemed to be still echoing in the room.

******

After a long time, Wu Dong cheered and said: "Young girl plays really well, today I understand what it means to go around the beam for three days."

Wu Dong's words were definitely not intentional compliments, but sincere compliments.

The tune is really good, and I have listened to a lot of tunes after I have been in Song Dynasty for so many years, but the rest of the people are not worthy of carrying the shoes of Mr. Li.

Li Shishi's face was slightly red, and there were many people who praised her on weekdays, but she didn't feel as blushing as today, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.

At this time, Mrs. Lin suddenly said: "This song is impassioned at first, it seems to be about a hero, and then it is deeply affectionate and twists and turns, just like a lover breaking up. I suddenly think of two people."

Lady Lin's voice was also very delicate, and her words immediately revealed her identity as a woman.She felt a little bad when she said it, and secretly regretted it.

But Li Shishi obviously didn't take it seriously, he was just a little surprised, and said: "I don't know who my sister thinks of?"

Lady Lin said: "Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, this song should be about the story of Farewell My Concubine."

Li Shishi became happy all of a sudden, it seemed that he had met a bosom friend, and said immediately: "Yes, the name of my song is Farewell My Concubine. It seems that my sister knows Qu Le very well?"

Mrs. Lin was born as a lady in the official family, so she is naturally good at music, and the two of them were talking and laughing at the moment, and they had a great time talking.

******

Only Mrs. Lin said: "That Xiang Yu was a hero of a generation, but it's a pity that he died so badly, it's a pity."

Li Shishi nodded and said: "Yes, Xiang Yu is a true hero, and Liu Bang, according to historical records, is just a hooligan and a lecherous generation, and he actually won the world. Thinking about it makes people angry."

Before the two of them talked about music, Wu Dong and Lin Chong couldn't get in their mouths. Now when they talked about Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's deeds, they were both familiar with it.

That's all for Lin Chong, I think what the two women said is not bad, Xiang Yu has been said to be a hero since ancient times, and Liu Bang is indeed the image of a local ruffian.

Wu Dong disagreed with their words. In the past, he had done some research on Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in modern times, and said immediately: "This statement is wrong. Xiang Yu is just a mediocre man. How can he be compared with Liu Bang? Liu Bang is the one." What a hero, what a hero."

As soon as this remark came out, the room immediately fell silent, and Li Shishi and Mrs. Lin stopped talking about it. Li Shishi looked at Wu Dong and said angrily: "Mr. Wu, you must tell a reason today, otherwise I will chase you away." You went out."

Wu Dong smiled, ignored her rudeness, and said: "Of course I have a reason. I said that Xiang Yu is just a common man. That's because he is useless except for his strong martial arts and his tall stature. He has a small mind. Not the material to be an emperor."

Li Shishi refused to accept it and said, "Talk about it."

Wu Dong nodded, and said: "Let me talk about Liu Bang first. When Liu Bang sent someone to attack the city, as long as the city was conquered, he would immediately seal it to that person, and if he got the money, he would immediately distribute it to his subordinates. During the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang sealed seven kings with different surnames. , there are even countless feudal marquises. But what about Xiang Yu? A victory in a battle is not credited to others, and if you occupy a city, you will not be rewarded. He is reluctant to give people until the edges and corners are smoothed, do you think he is stingy and outrageous?"

The above words are actually what Han Xin said to Liu Bang when he took refuge in Liu Bang. They are all recorded in the history, and there will be no mistakes.

Li Shishi was stunned, and said: "It's just these, it doesn't explain anything, maybe King Xiang wants to wait until he conquers the world before dividing up the officials."

Wu Dong smiled and said, "I'll continue. After conquering Xianyang, Xiang Yu left the ready-made emperor instead of making it, and left the ready-made emperor's capital behind. The treasures and beauties were loaded into the car, and he returned to Pengcheng to continue to be his overlord of Western Chu. Some people persuaded Xiang Yu, saying that the terrain in Guanzhong is dangerous and the land is fertile, and building a capital here can establish a hegemony, but Xiang Yu said "If you don't go back to your hometown when you are rich, wouldn't it be a night walk in brocade clothes?" So some people ridiculed him for "wearing a monkey and wearing a crown." You said, such a character, who is so petty, just wanted to go back to his hometown with treasures and beauties after defeating Xianyang Show off, is this a hero?"

Li Shishi was a little speechless now, and had to admit that what Wu Dong said had some truth in his heart.

Wu Dong said again: "Let me continue to tell you that after Xiang Yu became the Overlord of Western Chu, the world was not settled, and the princes refused to accept him. At this time, he actually killed King Chu Huai, the nominal co-lord of the world. Just imagine Chu Huai Wang is just a child, but a puppet in Xiang Yu's hands. Xiang Yu told him to go east, but he would never dare to go west. He was afraid that someone would seize power and would kill such a puppet. What kind of measure is this? Cao Cao is far inferior, everyone in Cao Cao knows that he is coercing the emperor to command the princes, but was Cao Cao ever afraid that Emperor Xian of the Han would seize his power?"

As soon as Wu Dong finished speaking this time, Lin Chong cheered and said, "Brother is right, that's the reason. Xiang Yu really doesn't have much measure, he's a chicken belly."

Wu Dong nodded, and said: "Also, Fan Zeng was originally Xiang Yu's number one counselor, and his advice for Xiang Yu is very important to Xiang Yu. As a result, when Xiang Yu sent someone to meet Liu Bang, Liu Bang first gave him a warm reception, and waited until he was seated. , and deliberately pretended to say hastily, "We thought it was the envoy of Fan Zeng, but it turned out to be the envoy of King Xiang", so he withdrew the banquet and entertained Xiang Yu with simple meals. Xiang Yu actually believed such a pediatric trick, and the envoy went back and said , Xiang Yu began to suspect Fan Zeng, worried about Fan Zeng, and was afraid that Fan Zeng would seize power. Fan Zeng was so angry that he said at that time, "The world is settled, the king will do it for himself", and then walked away... So I said that Xiang Yu is stingy, right? Measuring, that is, he is unwilling to reward his subordinates, and he is also jealous of the virtuous and capable, and cannot tolerate others. Originally, he was a famous general in the Chu Kingdom, and his status was noble, so many people took refuge in him, including Fan Zeng, Han Xin, Chen Ping and other famous figures, but in the end, Those people left him one after another, he really became a lonely family and lost his country, you say, can he be regarded as a hero?"

Li Shishi is a little convinced now. After thinking about it carefully, what Wu Dong said makes sense. Xiang Yu is indeed too narrow-minded to be worthy of the title of "hero". Going to the hero? You have to explain this to me too."
