Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wealthy, the Hanshi
Except for Wen Han, everyone was puzzled.
In front of everyone's eyes, Wen Han first pointed to the sea: "This sea represents the people of the world." ”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the big boat: "The person who rows the oars in the boat represents the hundred officials of the DPRK and China." And the oars in their hands are their power and burden. The person at the helm is, of course, the current emperor, and the rudder in his hand is Chaogang. ”
Then he pointed to the line between the sea and the sky in the painting and said: "In the end, the sea and the sky in this painting extend separately, and finally hand over together." Master Cao, do you understand the meaning of my painting? ”
Cao Cao was fascinated, and when he heard Wen Han ask, he almost subconsciously said what he thought in his heart: "The line between the sea and the sky represents the sea is the sky, and the sky is the sea." The sea in the painting represents the people of Limin, that is to say, the people are the heavens! ”
"Lord Cao is smart, I admire him." Wen Han saluted, and Cao Cao shook his hand, so that Wen Han didn't have to be polite. Wen Han paused and said again.
"Xunzi said that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. Water is the common people, and the sea is made of water, which is the common people of the world. Zhou is the king, here I think it is the entire court. Because, if the water is going to overturn the boat, it should not mean that a king is going to be submerged, and then it should be a change of dynasty. In my humble opinion, the boat is more appropriate for the imperial court.
The imperial court benefited the community, did things for the people, and created a peaceful and prosperous era. The sea is calm, the sea can accommodate a large ship, the ship makes the current go wherever it goes, the ship does not drive the sea, but the sea moves for the ship
The sea is the sky, the sea is the boat to go, and the sky is the boat to go. This is the consciousness of the sea, and it is also the consciousness of the sky.
If the people are not clothed and fed, the sea will be a surging wave that will overturn the ship! This is what the sea cannot tolerate, and it is also what the sky cannot tolerate. The ship travels in the sea, and the sea is also counter-current, rising heavy waves to scatter the ship, the sea is not driven by the ship, and the ship is no matter how big and strong it is, it only ends up with a broken bone! ”
Suddenly, Wen Han's momentum changed suddenly, looking at Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, just like the great Confucian expounding the great righteousness and truth, and said solemnly: "So, I think." Public opinion drives the world! ”
There was silence in the field. Luoyang Sishao has seen so many big scenes, but at this moment, he was deeply shocked by this person's painting.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! A good water can carry a boat and capsize a boat! At the moment, you should drink three cups, for which you paint, even more extraordinary. Cao Cao was the first to react, clapped his hands again and again, and raised the wine glass in his hand. Wen Han and Guan Yu also raised their wine glasses, and the three of them clinked glasses and drank them all. However, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Xu You were silent and did not react at all.
Cao Cao frowned and was about to speak. Suddenly, Yuan Shu stood up, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, and said in a sinister manner: "Things gather like people and divide people into groups." The world is so big, there are so many low-class people, and most of their thoughts are vulgar and unbearable.
Hmph, hum, Wen Bufan speaks of public opinion to drive the world. This is simply ridiculous and generous! If the will of this group of inferior people drives the world, won't the world also become vulgar! I'm tired, and I'm gone! ”
Yuan Shu didn't wait for everyone's reaction, waved his sleeves and left. Not long after Yuan Shu left, Yuan Shao and Xu You also stood up, and after Yuan Shao gave Cao Cao an inexplicable look, he left with Xu You.
Guan Yu's face was full of anger, Wen Han replied, and said the voice of a cold man like Guan Yu who was from a humble background and had great ability, but there was no stage to show him. Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and Xu You were disdainful of this, and their disrespectful attitudes made Guan Yu really unbearable. At the same time, it is also sad for the reality that the Han Dynasty is such a person in power and an official.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha!!"
Suddenly, Wen Han looked like crazy and laughed loudly. Cao Cao saw it and knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment, but Cao Cao, who was also from a famous and wealthy family, even if he agreed with Wen Han's answer, he couldn't agree with it, he could only praise it.
Because, Wen Han's answer has completely offended the famous and wealthy families and hurt their interests. If this answer is made public, the famous and wealthy families will be furious. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the era of 'scholar supremacy', the Han scholars and the common people could not be allowed to have a trace of power.
These powers must be firmly grasped in the hands of those noble families. For them, commoners who are lowly born, regardless of their ability, are commoners! No matter how capable you are, you can only get a small official position unless you are loyal to the nobles and there is no threat.
The common people, the common people, and the people without identity and background are ants!! This is the naked voice of the famous family.
And Wen Han's remarks about driving the world with public opinion, aren't he working against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Xu You, these scholars?
Wen Han stood up, walked to the railing, laughed stupidly, and said to Cao Cao and Guan Yu: "Brother, borrow a sword from Lord Cao." There is a poem in my heart, and you are engraved on the pillar of this moon tower for me. Let the poor people of the world watch this poem together. ”
After Guan Yu heard this, he stood up and came to Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao was afraid that this Wen Bufan would say something that would offend the wealthy family, but in his heart he admired Wen Han's literary brilliance. Under the gaze of Guan Yu's pair of red phoenix eyes, Cao Cao bit his mouth, pulled out the sword on his waist and threw it to Guan Yu.
"Lord Xie Cao borrowed the sword!" After Guan Yu bowed, his hand went to a large pillar.
At this time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Xu You just walked out of the gate of the Moon Tower, and Wen Han looked down from the building and said loudly.
"The pine at the bottom of the lush stream, away from the seedlings on the mountain, with the diameter of the stem, the shade of this hundred feet. The world is in a high position, handsome and subordinate.
The topography makes it so, and the origin is not a one-time. Jin Zhang's old business, Qiye Han Mink. Isn't Feng Gong great? There is no trick for the white head! ”
This poem was written by the later Wei and Jin poets 'Zuo Si', Zuo Si was born in a poor family, although he had the ambition to revitalize the world and help the poor and the talent to make Luoyang paper expensive, but after all, it could not be reused.
This is the case. Wen Han just used it to express his dissatisfaction with the era of "no poor family in the upper grade, and no family in the lower grade". In this poem, Jin and Zhang refer to the two families of Jin Rishidan and Zhang Anshi in the Western Han Dynasty, with the support of the scholars, and the seven generations were the public.
Here, Wen Han alluded to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's 'Runan Yuan Clan' behind the fourth generation and three dukes. As for Feng Gong, he refers to Feng Tang, who is talented. This person was born in Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and was still a small Lang official when he arrived at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Here, Wen Han alludes to the world's poor people.
"Shaft! You dare! Yuan Shu angrily pointed at Wen Han, his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to run in front of Wen Han and slap him twice.
Yuan Shu was dressed in a gorgeous costume, and at first glance, he knew that he was a rich and noble person, and his roar attracted many onlookers on the street.
Yuan Shao and Xu You also had gloomy faces, and Wen Han's poem was secretly satirical about their wealthy families, which was simply a big rebellion. Especially Yuan Shao, he heard that the Jin Zhang family mentioned in the poem was a metaphor for the Runan Yuan family behind him.
"Wen Bufan! Good! Not only are you extraordinary, but you also have a good heart! May you not regret what you have done today. ”
Yuan Shao said coldly to Wen Han, and then pulled Yuan Shu into the carriage, and Xu You followed him. The three men ordered the groom to leave quickly, and the groom gave the order, flicked the horsewhip, and the carriage galloped, and soon disappeared into the street.
After the carriage left, it was on the Mochizuki Tower. Cao Cao stood in front of the pillar, reading the poems, and Wen Han sat on the side and drank with Guan Yu. It seems that he is not afraid at all, Yuan Shao's threat.
After Cao Cao looked at it for a while, he sighed, a little reluctant: "A good poem is a good poem." It's just that when Brother Ru came, he offended the two Yuan brothers to death. There won't be a single place of roundabouts. The power of the Yuan clan in Runan is unimaginable. Brother Fan, you still let Brother Guan erase the verses in this pillar, so as not to be talked about in the future. ”
"A manly man, every word is a nail. I am extraordinary, stand up to the sky, fearless, and what I say is what I say. Why erase it? Lord Cao, don't worry about this matter. Wouldn't it be nice to come and drink and laugh together? Wen Han smiled and raised his glass to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao saw that Wen Han was upright and free, and admired this person even more, walked to Wen Han and sat down, and toasted with Wen Han.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now, laughing and laughing, and after three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao was slightly drunk and grabbed Wen Han's hand: "Brother Extraordinary!" Your answer is better than mine! But! My answer is my way. I will follow through on it, because I believe that only my answer is the most appropriate answer in this world! ”
"Oh. That extraordinary will wait and see, and watch Lord Cao's demeanor in the future. If it is really as Lord Cao said, no matter where he is at that time, he will come on a horse to congratulate Lord Cao and recognize Lord Cao's way. However, the results are now unknown. I don't want to give up my way! ”
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly burst into fine light, and he looked at Wen Han. Suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha! Good! Cao also waited and saw whether the extraordinary way was the real avenue! ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao proposed to Wen Han to use the 'painting of the sea and sky' as the proof of the agreement between the two, and Wen Han readily agreed and gave it to Cao Cao, who carefully collected the painting in his sleeve.
Cao Cao was overjoyed, drank five or six glasses of wine in a row, and was about to get drunk, Wen Han and Guan Yu stopped the banquet, asked the shopkeeper where Cao Cao lived, and then sent Cao Cao back after settling the bill.
Cao Cao chartered a house in the county, and it was Cao Cao's younger brother 'Cao Hong', Cao Zilian, who came out to greet him. This man was eight feet tall, with a large waist and ten girths, and a face full of stubble and was extremely rough. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Hong was rescued by Cao Cao several times, and he was even more loyal to Cao Cao and had first-class martial arts.
Cao Hong saw that Cao Cao was drunk, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and saw Wen Han's face, and after asking a few words, he didn't thank Wen Han, so he helped Cao Cao into the mansion by himself.
"Aman, how can you drink with people who don't care, how many times have I told you, there have been many disasters in the past few years. You are a noble person, if those people have ill intentions towards you, then how do you want me to explain to my uncle! ”
Wen Han and Guan Yu were just about to get on the horse and leave, when they heard the words from Cao ** in the house, Guan Yu Danfeng was about to get angry. Wen Han took his hand and said, "That's it." Brother, this is the people of the Shi clan, in their eyes, except for the Shi clan, everyone else is a non-trivial person. I'll wait, don't worry about it, let's go back. ”
Guan Yu snorted coldly, after today's series of events, Guan Yu's impression of the Shi clan is getting worse and worse. Wen Han and Guan Yu rode away quickly, seemingly unwilling to stay here.
After returning to the courtyard, Wen Han and Guan Yu walked into the hall with slightly gloomy faces.
Zhou Long walked over to him, and when he saw Wen Han and Guan Yu's bad faces, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, are you waiting for a dispute with the four young people of Luoyang?" ”
