Chapter 116: Perseverance

readx;? Chai Chen asked "Le Lin" curiously: "What about you?"

"Huh?"

"Who do you admire the most?"

"Liu Bei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Le Lang didn't think twice about it.

"Oh?"

Chai Chen raised his eyelids and looked at Le Lang with interest.

Le Lang didn't look at him, but read the poem to himself: "Although the turtle is long, there is a time." Teng snake ride the fog, and eventually turn into ashes. The old man is in limbo, and his ambition is thousands of miles, and the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is full of strength. ”

"You're reading Cao Mengde's poem. ”

"But I think this poem is talking about Liu Xuande. ”

When Chai Chen heard this, he pondered for a moment, and he also agreed in his heart.

At the time of the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei was already forty and eight years old. By the time of the Battle of Hanzhong, he was fifty-nine years old when he defeated Cao Cao on the only time.

How is it not "the old man is in the bush, and the ambition is thousands of miles"?

Looking at his life again, Liu Bei broke the yellow scarf from North China, and was defeated by Zhang Chun's thieves and almost died. As soon as he got Xuzhou, he was attacked by Lu Bu. regained Xuzhou, but was defeated by Cao Cao. Gather the old troops in Yuzhou and Cao Cao to fight again, and then abandon Xinye and go to Dangyang......

Throughout his life, he was defeated and defeated again and again.

Isn't this "the twilight of a martyr, full of strength"?

Under the sunset, the snow is quietly drifting, like pear blossoms in April.

White petals fell on their shoulders, on the top of their heads, and on the mink fur and foxtail.

The snow is like a broken flower, and it is more than a beautiful one.

Suddenly, Le Lang asked, "Have you read "Spring and Autumn in Kyushu"?"

Chai Chen said with a heart: "What you want to say, but the story of 'the resurrection of the flesh'?"

"Hmm. ”

Lelang smiled and nodded.

The resurrection of the flesh is an allusion in the "Spring and Autumn Period of Kyushu" written by Sima Biao of the Western Jin Dynasty.

It was written like this in the book: Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, and Liu Biao saluted him very much. Prepared as a guest for several years, taste in the middle of sitting up to the toilet, see the flesh in the hips, runny nose and sitting. The table asked, and Bei said: "In the past, I didn't leave the saddle, and the flesh was gone." Now I don't ride again, the flesh is raw in the hips, the sun and the moon are galloping, the old man is coming, and the meritorious deeds are not established, which is to be sad. ”

It is said that after Liu Bei lost his battle with Cao Cao, he lost his territory and had to defect to Liu Biao, the Han imperial family. One day, Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to drink and chat. During the banquet, Liu Bei got up to go to the toilet, he touched his hips and found that the flesh on it had grown again, and he couldn't help but shed tears. When I returned to my seat, I still had tears on my face. Liu Biao was very strange when he saw it, and asked him, "Brother Xian, what's wrong?"

Liu Bei sighed: "I have been fighting in the south and the north before, and my body has not left the saddle for a long time, and the fat on my thighs has dissipated, and I am strong and strong. When I think of time like water, the sun and the moon are flickering, people are old in a blink of an eye, and the great cause of fame has not yet been built, so sadness comes from it. ”

Chai Chen savored this allusion, pondered, and listened happily: "At this time, Liu Xuande is already not confused. After working hard for half a life, he still sends people under the fence, accomplishes nothing, has nothing, and is replaced by ordinary people, I really don't know how to be disheartened. ”

When Chai Chen heard this, his heart was also filled with an indescribable feeling.

It is true that if you are an ordinary person, you will definitely lose your will, or lose your heart, or face reality, or be dissolute, or be unpopular.

However, Liu Bei became more and more courageous.

Even at this point, just the trivial matter of the resurrection of the flesh made him worry and panic, forcing him to remind himself: "If the sun and the moon are galloping, the old man is coming, and the meritorious deeds are not established, which is a sad ear." ”

Indomitable, nine deaths without regrets.

After half a lifetime of setbacks, he still did not change his original intention.

In the year of not being confused, there is no inch of land, but there is still the ambition to swallow the world, how can it not be moved?

Le Lang sighed: "Those who are good at fighting are not defeated, and those who are good at losing will not die." ”

Chai Chen understood.

This is a sentence in the "Wuhou Heart Book" written by Zhuge Kongming.

Only this sentence can express Liu Bei's respectability.

He also heard "Le Lin" say: "I am not surprised by Cao Mengde's Zhongda, but Liu Xuande will never forget, he has worked hard all his life, and he has made a great career with cloth clothes, which can be a model for people who have nothing to rely on for us." ”

Chai Chen was still reminiscing about these words, and Le Lang had already gone much earlier than him.

Before I knew it, I was in front of the carriage.

Le Lang looked back and shouted to Chai Chen: "Eh!"

Chai Chen came back to his senses and quickly followed.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

In the carriage, Le Lang asked.

Chai Chen thought only for a while, then replied, "One more trip." ”

Le Lang smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that he has no real talent to learn?"

Chai Chen shook his head and said: "Then I will find people of insight again, Wang Anshi can't do it, so I will find Li Anshi and Chen Anshi, I am a helpless person, what else can I do?"

His tone at this time was full of self-deprecation, and his face was full of wry smiles.

But Chai Chen felt that his heart had never been more determined than at this moment.

……

- "Bang!"

The sliding door to the inner chamber was slammed open.

Chai Chen and Le Lang outside the door were really startled.

For several days in a row, they all came to visit Wang Anshi's home as scheduled.

Except for the first time when Wang Anshi had a few casual chats with them, he only let these two distinguished guests wait in the small hall inside and outside the room after the visit.

It wasn't until dusk that Wu came in with food that they had to say goodbye with a sense of humor.

It's better to do this for a few days.

But Chai Chen didn't dare to be hesitant at all.

As "Lelin" said, he is a person who has nothing to rely on, how dare he take Joe?

On this day, they waited in the small hall as usual, but suddenly they heard the door being slammed open.

Wang Anshi came out of it and looked at Chai Chen and Le Lang, but he was stunned and asked, "Why are you two still here?"

When Chai Chen and Le Lang heard this, they also looked at each other.

What do you mean by "why are you two still here"?

Could it be ......

Le Lang frowned, thought for a while, and finally said, "Master Wang, both of us have been waiting for you in this small hall for the past few days." ”

Wang Anshi's eyes widened, matching the outline of his square jaw.

He said in disbelief, "How many days have you been waiting like this?"

Chai Chen replied, "Today is the fifth day. ”

Wang Anshi was surprised: "The fifth day?"

Le Lang was curious: "Master, don't you always know that we are outside the door?"

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "I don't realize it at all." ”

Chai Chen and Le Lang couldn't help but feel funny and ridiculous.

They all have a consensus in the past few days - Wang Anshi avoided it, just like Zhuge Kongming did to Liu Bei, wanting to test their sincerity.

They are also indulged in the story of "three visits to the thatched house", complacent, and think that they are full of sincerity, which will surely move them.

As everyone knows, people are just too focused on reading, and they don't know that there are two people waiting outside the door.

Wang Anshi asked again: "Didn't I tell you to 'take care of yourself'?"

Chai Chen said: "When we were waiting outside the door, we were indeed 'self-deed', and we did everything we could drink tea and pour water. ”

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "My 'self-convenience' means to let you go back to the house by yourself, don't disturb here." ”

He sighed again and said, "Is there anything important about you being so persistent?"
