Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1613 The matter of a book (Gageng repays the debt)

Just when Zhang Fei started fighting in Dingzao, in Chang'an, gradually, I don't know when it started, and there was a wave of fighting with each other. The struggle in all aspects can also be said to be mutual criticism in literature.

   There is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

   This sentence is really not casual.

Literature, from ancient times to the present, is multi-dimensional, and under multi-dimensionality, there are different views and thinking angles for the same article, just like an ordinary composition, given to several different language teachers See, the resulting scores can vary wildly.

  Maybe this gentleman’s handwriting is too bad. As a result, Teacher A only took a cursory look at it, and then gave him a mediocre score without any desire to look further.

   Teacher B was more patient. After reading the article, he felt that some of the words in the article were ingenious, and the connotation of thought was quite profound, which fit the teacher's taste, so he gave it a high score.

  Ms. C also finished reading it, and felt that although the writing was good, there were a few private items in it, and the values ​​contained in it were not worth advocating, so he gave another very low score.

  So who is right and who is wrong among the three teachers?

  Don’t say that the first teacher was wrong, because this is the case in the college entrance examinations of later generations. How many composition papers does a teacher have to correct, and the words are not well written, and the teacher is expected to identify and check each word? Anyway, I worked hard to identify it for a while, and it is not bad to give a medium score, not to mention that there are many teachers who directly give low scores because of poor handwriting...

  This is true for a composition, but for a series of articles, there are more problems.

  This is the case in ancient Chinese classics, and it is also true in modern classics.

"In the past, the king of the Zhou Dynasty declined, but the rites were not correct, and the disputes among the seven kingdoms arose before the Qin Dynasty, and then the Han Dynasty prospered, inheriting from each other. , to remember the way of the emperor. However, the master is gone, but he said nothing. Fortunately, Fu Sheng recited it and Chao Gong collected it, so it can be passed on. Now you don’t think about its virtues, but talk about its disadvantages. How can you be so embarrassing! "

"No! No! Shangshu first came out of the wall of the house, decayed and scattered, and now the book is here, and it was just passed on by the teacher. Poems are just sprouting, and all the books in the world are often published. They are all legends, like Guangli. Yu Xueguan is a doctor. Emperor Xiaowu once said that it is far away from the complete scriptures. It can be seen that the lack of simplicity in books can be without disadvantages?"

"At the time of the rise of the Han Dynasty, there were many zhongnis, and there were no laws. There was only one uncle, grandson, who established the etiquette. There was no other book from the classics to Yibu. At that time, one person could not exhaust the scriptures alone. Elegance, or ode, are combined together. This is quite similar to the style of poets and rituals of the Spring and Autumn Period. It has also been passed down from Guangwu, and it has been widely asked in the world. If you want to protect the weak and the weak, you will lose your selfish intentions of fear of being broken, and you will lose your public heart of obedience to righteousness!"

"This is what the common people do, and it is not what scholars and gentlemen are looking for. However, how can the words of several schools be more than enough? To search for the source is the way of learning, and to study the peak of literature is the beauty of a gentleman! There are all of them! Wouldn’t it be beautiful to test the relationship between the present and the past? Would you give up eating because of choking?”

   "The way of civil and military affairs has not fallen to the ground. It depends on the people. The sages aspire to the big ones, and the unworthy ones aspire to the small ones. Today, the words of several schools include both big and small meanings. How can we be partial?"

Such scenes appear in Chang'an from time to time. Whether it is the elegant and expensive Huaijuelou or the new-style teahouse on the ordinary street, you can see a few or even a dozen people arguing endlessly together. A group of melon-eating people who either understand or don't understand...

   "Is this a joke?"

   "Are you arguing?"

   "Just quarreling and not fighting?"

   "I don't know, do you want to stop watching?"

   "Uh... well, idle is idle, why don't you buy a melon?"

   And I don’t know whether these melon-eating people will get what they want in the end, but many ordinary people don’t understand what these people are arguing about, and they don’t know why these people are arguing.

But not all the gentry children participated in this debate. There were also some gentry children who idly put their arms around Meiji, laughing and drinking, and stayed out of the matter, thinking that these people are too idle. With a bowl of wine, I feel so comfortable with Maggie Hu Tianhu.

  Among these people who stay out of the matter, there is Li Yuan who is now gaining a foothold in Chang'an.

Originally, Li Yuan almost wiped out his family because of the military chaos in Xiliang, but later he made up his mind to follow Fei Qian, which can be regarded as a promising future. Now, as the captain of Baling, today is just the time for Muxiu, so he is on the stage Juelou drank some wine, watching the quarreling sons of noble families under the window Quan Dian drink, teasing Meiji in his arms from time to time.

Li Yuan has gone through many battles in these years, so there are some signs of turning towards martial arts. I saw some gentry in Chang'an arguing endlessly. , On the one hand, it has nothing to do with him, and on the other hand, it is because the surrounding environment has stabilized a little, and he doesn't want to be troublesome.

  However, things are often like this, the more you don't want to be troublesome, the things often find their way to the top.

   "My dear brother! You are easy for me to find!" Wei Duan appeared on the corridor of Huaijue Building, raised his eyes and saw Li Yuan sitting in the small partition of the screen, and greeted him with a smile.

  Li Yuan took his hand out from under Meiji's robe in his arms, arched his hands slightly, "Have you met Brother Wei...have a drink together?"

Speaking of which, Hussars have been in Chang'an for some years, but within Chang'an, since Dong Zhuo's time, there has not been a few days of peace, so the children of the gentry in Chang'an are also a little worried. What happened, seeing Fei Qian was promoted to Hussar, many people took a long breath and began to enter the rhythm they were more familiar with, such as reciting poems and composing Fu, thinking that the military chaos has gradually faded away, so they can feel at ease up.

The same is true for Li Yuan. Now he thinks that what he has done before is enough. At least if he does not fall down in this lifetime, he will not be too bad. He does not expect to climb very high, but he will not fall too badly. It is enough to find a few more Gu Liang you like, and then have more children to pass on the Li family. So after seeing Wei Duan, although his attitude is not bad, he actually doesn't want to move.

  Because Li Yuan knew Wei Duan's character, he didn't get up early if he didn't benefit, and he didn't move when he had nothing to do.

Wei Duan is basically a pure opportunist. When Dong Zhuo was in power, Wei Duan didn't dare to go to the anal. There is no benefit for Biao, let alone a small character like Wei Duan. Later, when Xiliang soldiers and horses were in chaos, Wei Duan shrank into his own fort without saying a word, and waited until Feiqian cleaned up Xiliang It was only after Liang's rebellion that he got out again.

  For Fei Qian, Wei Duan just used a ladder to climb up, shrinking when there is trouble, and standing up when it is beneficial. Such people are very common no matter in ancient or later generations.

   "My dear brother really enjoys leisure..." Wei Duan sat down and said with a smile, "Brother Wei is really envious..."

  Li Yuan said: "Brother Wei was joking..." Then he turned to Mei Ji and said, "Go, ask the store to serve some special dishes..."

   "No need to spend money, no need to spend money..." Wei Duan said, "You and I are brothers, why should you be so polite? This will be fine..."

   "Hehe..." Li Yuan didn't say anything, but patted Meiji's buttocks lightly, and gave Meiji a look, indicating that he should not hurry up. Meiji let out a coquettish cry, then walked out slowly, clutching her buttocks.

   Wei Duan's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, but he also pretended not to see it, and turned his head to look out the window.

   "Oh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Yuan said with a smile, "I've been in the army for a long time, and I can't help being influenced by these bastards. I hope Brother Wei will forgive me..."

Wei Duan waved his hand and said, "Your brother has a true temperament... Haha, so, very good, very good... I don't know how my brother's affairs are going recently? I heard that my brother is renovating an old house? But do you need a woodworker? If you need it, please speak up... "

  Li Yuan laughed: "Thank you Brother Wei!"

  Wei Duan nodded and said: "You and I are like brothers, you are welcome, you are welcome..."

   Chatted a few more words, waited for the guy at the shop to remove the remnants of the dishes, and then served the newly made dishes, Li Yuan stretched out his hand and invited Wei Duan to taste it.

  The two of them ate a little, and after drinking two more glasses, Wei Duan pointed to the battle group downstairs who were still arguing endlessly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, there has been more noise in the city recently..."

  Li Yuan nodded, but did not speak.

   "I don't know how my virtuous brother views this matter?" Wei Duan asked.

  Li Yuan raised his wine glass as a signal, and smiled, but still didn't say anything.

   "My dear brother, this is your fault..." Wei Duan picked up his wine glass and said with a slight frown, "This matter is of great importance to the future, how can we sit idly by..."

  Li Yuan still laughed.

   Wei Duan frowned and put down his wine glass.

   "After drinking this glass, drink first..." Li Yuan laughed, still holding the glass, and said, "Let's talk after drinking, let's talk after drinking..."

   Wei Duan had no choice but to pick it up again, and had a drink with Li Yuan.

"This scripture..." Li Yuan said while adding wine to Wei Duan, "...what is there to argue about? You read yours, read more if you like it, and don't read what you don't like. What is there to argue about? ?”

   Wei Duan shook his head and said: "This is wrong! The matter of scriptures is the most important thing in the country, how can we underestimate it!"

Li Yuan lazily said: "Didn't there be scriptures in the ancient times? Could it be that the country was not a country in ancient times? There is really nothing to argue about. If it is according to my opinion... these people are idle! Wouldn't it be nice to have this spare time to talk so much, or read two more books, or drink two more glasses of wine?"

"My virtuous brother, how can you be so lazy?" Wei Duan said dissatisfiedly, and patted the table lightly, "My virtuous brother also came from a family of scriptures, how can such a major economic matter be ignored? There are constant disputes, which are related to the eternal inheritance!"

   "Oh? Inherited through the ages?" Li Yuan asked back, looking up from the dishes.

   Wei Duan looked upright and nodded solemnly.

   "Then Brother Wei thinks which of them is right?" Li Yuan pointed to the group of people arguing downstairs outside the window and said.

   "There is right and wrong!" Wei Duan said solemnly, "This matter has been debated endlessly since Emperor Xiaozhang, and it has continued to this day, so..."

According to the posthumous posthumous law, Wen Ke's rites are called Zhang, Fa Duming is called Zhang, the words are called Zhang, and Jingshen is called Zhang. Looking at the hundreds of emperors in China, there are only three emperors with the posthumous title "Zhang". There was one, and there was no Emperor Zhang for more than a thousand years, until the Ming Dynasty had one, and the Qing Dynasty, there was also one...

  Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty set the tone for the inheritance of scripture culture, so it is called "Zhang", which means the rules of the book.

  Li Yuan interrupted Wei Duan's preparation for a long speech, and suddenly said: "My little brother has a new article in the past two days, titled 'Forty-two Chapters', which is quite good, and I sent it to Brother Wei to read that day..."

   "Forty-two chapters?" Wei Duan frowned and said, "I don't know which sage wrote it?"

  Li Yuan laughed, and said: "It's not the ancient sages, but Emperor Xiaoming asked for it from the Western Regions. It's the scriptures of Shamen's self-cultivation..."

  "The art of self-cultivation of monks?" Wei Duan flicked his sleeves, as if dusting off his body, "Such barbarian nonsense is extremely absurd. What is there to appreciate?"

   "Oh? Brother Wei also read this chapter?" Li Yuan asked.

  Wei Duan shook his head resolutely, and said righteously: "Never."

  Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Since I have never read it, why do you say this book is ridiculous?"

   Wei Duan rolled his eyes and said, "You don't need to look at it to know its absurdity."

  Li Yuan laughed, picked up some dishes at random, and said with a bit of a mouthful while eating: "But the younger brother saw it, do you think it makes sense... Seeing through life and death, practicing self-cultivation, is also a good thing..."

Wei Duan looked a little heartbroken, looked at Li Yuan and said: "Your brother, who endured a great difficulty first and has been in the army for a long time, it is understandable to put down this book of Confucian classics, but you should not read those messy chapters. It's messed up!"

   "But I think it's good?" Li Yuan laughed and said, "I think this chapter is also a bit good, can't I say that?"

"How can you speak nonsense about evil scriptures! Brother, don't forget that you are also a heir to the scriptures!" Wei Duan said in a deep voice, "The scriptures of the sages are the right one! Brother, if this is the case, it will ruin the family inheritance. ! The Li family in Guanzhong, whose classics and books have been passed down for a hundred years, isn’t it sad and hurtful, and it is also painful!”

Li Yuan put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and said: "I read the scriptures before, it was because I didn't understand anything, and then my parents and teachers enlightened me with the scriptures, making me enlightened and enlightened. This is naturally the result of the Six Classics. I never said that the scriptures of the sages are useless... But among the six classics, is there any statement that you can't read other scriptures? Even if others talk nonsense, there are still some merits, why don't you read it, just call it absurd? "

   "This... In fact, Brother Yu has also read the forty-two chapters of the Sutra..." Wei Duan said, "The beginning of the chapter is that some people died seven times and nine died. Isn't it extremely absurd? Such an article, how can it be beneficial?"

"I have seen life and death..." Li Yuan said lightly, "On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and life and death are instantaneous...My family members, the guards who survived with me by chance, were shot by swords and guns, bleeding profusely, Stomach broken, crying endlessly, unable to be cured, unable to survive... I can only comfort him, there is a world of bliss in the west, and family reunion, happiness and worry-free, and no injury or pain... I laugh and sleep forever, and my eyes are happy ..."

"I think it's good because I saw it...and I think it's good alone. There are some compliments. Brother Wei can watch it if he wants to, and that's all if he doesn't want to. That's all..." Li Yuan looked up at Wei Duan, "I It is not necessary for Brother Wei to say that this chapter is good, so why should Brother Wei speak evil words and pollute my family?"

"Brother Yu didn't mean that..." Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother Yu is also doing this for the good of my younger brother... Besides... this, this chapter is extremely fallacious, if it is because of this, it is not a great crime ?In this way, we should abandon it and use the scriptures to correct the way..."

   "Brother Wei has lofty aspirations, I admire you..." Li Yuan raised his glass and said calmly, "This matter... let's stop here..."

   Wei Duan frowned, drank the wine for a while, and said suddenly: "Brother Yu suddenly remembered something, and it needs to be dealt with urgently..."

   "Brother Wei, please do yourself..." Li Yuan smiled, "Forgive me for being rude, I will send you off soon..."

Wei Duan laughed dryly, then took his leave and went downstairs. After he got on his own carriage, he couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "I don't know how to flatter you! If someone hadn't taken him in back then, how could he be here today! It's a wolf-hearted dog." generation!"

But it was said that upstairs, when Li Yuan saw Wei Duan leaving, he smiled, called back Meiji who had retreated, hugged her on his lap, and then smiled and held Meiji's fragrant ears , and said softly: "Just talk about some scriptures, but the beauty is left out in the cold... By the way, when it comes to books, there is a good book in a certain family, and I can read it with the beauty..."

   Jia Geng, to repay the debt of the cute master of hundreds of millions of dollars...

   Immediately I feel refreshed all over...

What?

   What else do you owe?

   Oops, the signal here is not good, I can't hear you...

   By the way, today is the eve of the leftovers, so don't let the book snub the handsome lady...

   I wish all book friends a happy leftover...
