Chapter 120: White Horses Are Not Horses
Life is fun in any way, and this joy lies in the unpredictability of life. In fact, the genius is the best stage screenwriter, people, every time, every moment is in a big or small stage, either a one-man show, or a rivalry between two people, or a stage theater where the ugly of the end of life is unexpected, both reasonable and unexpected, the people on the stage are enjoying the performance, the people under the stage are watching the lively, there are crying and laughing, sad and joyful on and off the stage, one scene has not ended, another scene has already appeared, a small earth is not lively.
If the plot designed by God is always guessed, it is a failure of God, but so far, God still maintains an undefeated record, and all the plots in the world are constantly switching and evolving between tragedy and comedy, inspirational drama and satire.
Assuming that all the storylines are arranged by God, after thousands of years of performances, it is not difficult to find that there are some imperceptible rules hidden in all the plot designs, behind the complacent is gloomy sadness, behind the arrogance is the betrayal of relatives, behind the dignitaries in front of the people is the lost soul, behind the deceit is the same end, behind the unscrupulous is the catastrophe...
People must live cautiously, and they can't make mistakes with a single thought, a look, or an action. Those who seem to be free in the external world are all in their inner world, which is composed of the warp of consciousness and the weft of self-discipline. The tighter the warp and weft of a person's inner world, the more chic and unrestrained he will be in the outer world, and vice versa, the more dangerous he will be everywhere at all times.
Chen Zheng's trip to Xianyang can be described as thrilling and dangerous, although the various experiences make people palpitate and look back, but the greatest wealth in life is the word "experience", if a person does not have ups and downs, sorrows and joys, even if he has money and status, he can only be a fool who is fooled by others.
While seeing others clearly, knowing how to behave as a person, and constantly comparing and colliding to improve, forge and improve oneself, this is the meaning of "experience".
At the end of life, in addition to the abyss and mountains of gold and silver, there is also a paradise. After the joys and sorrows of life, an alley, a cloth cloth, a spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, laughing about the ups and downs of the world, laughing at the flowers blooming and falling, perhaps, this is the highest state of life.
For the sake of the people of Handan City, and for the sake of being able to inquire about the news of Ru Girl on the way back, Chen Zheng really prepared.
As he was about to leave for Chu, Chen Zheng once again came to a camp on the outskirts of Handan.
Under the secret planning of Chen Zheng and Le Cheng, a ten-mile radius was enclosed with rammed earth, and in addition to the rows of houses, there were all kinds of training grounds, and the sound of passwords and shouts of killing could be heard from inside a mile away.
The camp was surrounded by empty hilly terrain with a dot of secret sentinels that could not be approached by even ordinary people, let alone suspicious people.
Chen Zheng's carriage stopped outside the camp gate, and the guards on the watchtower waved red pennants to relay the signal inside.
Le Cheng came out of the fight, took Chen Zheng's hand, and said with a smug smile: "Brother Lu, these exercises you brought back from the Western Regions are really extraordinary, come and see, see if there is anything missing, you need a lot of advice." ”
Chen Zheng looked inside, and saw that there were different training subjects distributed on the huge coaching field, although it was crowded and full of people, it was also orderly, chaotic and not chaotic.
Le Cheng led Chen Zheng to look at it in turn, observing something from Chen Zheng's eyes from time to time.
As far as the eye can see, countless soldiers of the Zhao State are strong and energetic, some are in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, some are training with their chests and backs on the muddy ground, some are drawing bows and arrows on the shooting range, some are passing quickly on the narrow single-plank bridge, some are cooperating with each other to jump over the planks more than two meters high, some are climbing hand and foot on the rope net, some are walking between two ropes hanging high, and some are rolling continuously in the burning ring of fire. Some of them ride on horses, and they use halberds in their hands to pick up scarecrows that are as tall as people...
Walking to a mound, Le Cheng pointed to the strange building not far below, and smiled at Chen Zheng: "Brother Lu, you came just in time!" You see, it's exactly the same as your sketch. Then, he waved his hand to the soldier beside him: "You can start." ”
The soldier raised the small flag in his hand, and a group of soldiers of Zhao State bent down and quietly came to the periphery of the building with bows and crossbows in hand.
Look at the layout of the building, it is made of rammed earth, the top is open-air, and the inside is twisted and turned, like a labyrinth.
A soldier of the Zhao State walked in, and suddenly two wooden boards flashed from the wall, on which were painted the heads of the soldiers of the Zhao State and the soldiers of the Qin State. This soldier was not ambiguous, and raised his hand and shot an arrow at the center of the eyebrows of the portrait of the soldier of the Qin State.
Walking further inside, the soldier was about to pass through a door, when a wooden board with a drawing of a soldier of the Qin State flashed in front of him, and in an instant, the wooden board was split into pieces by a sharp sword.
The soldiers of Zhao State in the back followed in turn, and more than a dozen wooden planks suddenly appeared on the four walls, if you look carefully, the heads of Zhao Jun and Qin Jun on the wooden boards are mixed together, and the only feature that can be distinguished is that Qin Jun's heads have a less obvious bun.
"Whoosh..."
The crossbow arrows of the Zhao army's special operations team came out of the string, and all but one arrow hit a wooden board with the portrait of Zhao Jun's portrait, and the rest all hit the portrait of the Qin army.
Lecheng turned his head to look at the soldier behind him, and the soldier shouted down, "Stop! Then he ran down the mound.
The special operations team rushed out and stood in a row.
The soldiers of the Zhao Army, who were hiding behind the building just now and holding wooden planks in their hands, were lying on the wall, and their eyebrows fluttered and they watched the excitement.
"Who shot that arrow? Say! ”
“……”
"Oops? Are you all pretending to be dumb? Today, in front of General Le and Lu Gongzi, I am embarrassed, and I dare not admit it? Yes! Don't you dare to admit it, right? Look at the bears of all of you, all of them are doing 500 prostrations according to what Lu Gongzi taught..., prostrates..., what are you prostrating? Right! I will starve to death today, you who are full. Whoever does not make five hundred is not allowed to eat! ”
Zhao Jun's special combat team members, you look at me, I look at you, and reluctantly lay on the ground and started to do arm fitness movements.
Chen Zheng smiled at Le Cheng and said: "General Le, they have just started to practice according to this method, mistakes are inevitable, I think these five hundred push-ups are still free!" ”
Lecheng waved his hand and said, "That's not good!" According to what Brother Lu said, this kind of practice is to teach them to be able to win by surprise when they sneak attack in the dark and when they are in close combat. Brother Lu, brother, I have to do what I say when I lead the troops, I can't tolerate the slightest ambiguity, I sweat a lot today, he bleeds less every day, I can't be as soft as you when dealing with them! ”
Then, Le Cheng shouted to the bottom of the mound: "Continue to practice tonight while the night is dark, and whoever makes a mistake again will be severely punished!" ”
Walking to the archery range, I saw a row of wooden planks standing about 50 meters in front of the shooting team, on which were painted the heads of Bai Qi, Wang Di, Wang Ling, and Sima Terrier.
Le Cheng smiled and said: "Brother Lu, if it weren't for your description, how could we know the true face of these people, he will be on the battlefield one day, and they will never return!" ”
"You're exaggerating, aren't you?! What does the little star on the door of the brain mean? ”
"Hahahaha!" Le Cheng laughed and said to the soldiers on the side, "Bring a bow and arrow!" ”
Lecheng took a bow and arrow, and the arrow hit the string, making enough strength to pull the bowstring full, and with a "whoosh" sound, he saw that the arrow had been shot on the little star with a white head.
"Now Brother Lu understands, right? Hahahaha! Le Cheng threw the bow back into the hands of the soldiers, looked at the wooden board with the white head painted in front of him, and said with a cold look: "When this guy is sent to the door, I will teach him to die under the city of Handan, so as to avenge the brothers in Changping." ”
……
Chen Zheng was following Le Cheng to visit one by one, and a soldier ran to the front to report that Pingyuan Jun had invited Lu Gongzi to the mansion to talk.
"Why did you find me here?! You just said that I have something important to discuss with General Le, and it will not be too late to go another day. Chen Zheng thought to himself, entering that Plains Monarch's Mansion is either drinking or playing chess, it is simply a waste of my precious Warring States time.
The soldier ran out of the camp gate, and in a moment he brought one. According to the person sent by Zhao Sheng, there was a distinguished guest waiting for Lu Gongzi in the mansion, and under Chen Zheng's questioning, the person couldn't tell who his surname was.
Guest? Could it be his own unscrupulous brother? Who else could he be?
……
In the faint apprehension and excitement, Chen Zheng got into the carriage and came to the Plains Monarch's Mansion.
When he walked into the living room, Chen Zheng suddenly looked disappointed.
I saw Zhao Sheng sitting in the center, Lou Chang, Yu Qing and Zheng Zhu sat on his left hand, and on his right hand sat an old man over sixty years old and an elegant son in his twenties.
"Brother Lu, do you recognize these two? Hahahaha! Zhao Sheng sat there, looking completely relaxed and proud.
Chen Zheng thought to himself, don't be in a hurry to say that I don't recognize it, what if the real body and these two people before I crossed over were Taoyuan Sanyi, or three musketeers, or one of them was Susie and the other was George, and they both jumped over the mud pit with him since childhood?!
Without waiting for Chen Zheng to respond, the young man stood up and arched his hand: "I have heard the name of Lu Gongzi for a long time, and I am really fortunate to see it today." Zi once said: Threesomes must have my teacher. In the lower hole wearing, the word is high, Nai Lu people, Confucius is the sixth grandson. I also hope that Lu Gongzi will not hesitate to give advice. ”
Chen Zheng returned the salute while thinking, piercing? Confucius high? Confucius's knowledge is indeed high, but how did this sixth grandson come here? Who's the one next to him?
The old man sitting next to Kong Pier snorted, crooked his mouth and muttered: "A businessman dares to ascend to the hall of elegance and speak disrespectfully in front of the Son of Heaven, there are such inconsiderate people in the world, it is really a strange thing, a strange thing!" ”
Yu Qing smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Gongsun so mean? With Mr.'s argumentative talent, he may not be the opponent of this Lu Gongzi! Hahahaha! ”
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Sheng laughed: "Zigao Gongzi, even if Mr. Gongsun doesn't want to teach you, I think it's better to recognize me, Brother Lu, as a teacher, his argumentation talent is not under Mr. Gongsun!" Lord Lou Chang, Lord Zheng Zhu, what do you say?! ”
Lou Chang and Zheng Zhu echoed: What Pingyuan Jun said is extremely true.
That Mr. Gongsun stood up angrily and said to Zhao Sheng: "Gongsun Long is not talented, he has been under the Plain Jun Sect for many years, although he has no merit, he can't withstand such humiliation. Unexpectedly, when the old man traveled around the world, there was a cheap and expensive Lu Gongzi in Handan City out of thin air, and the old man disdained to sit at the same table with him and said goodbye! ”
Gongsun Long flicked his sleeves and walked out, and Zhao Sheng wanted to get up and chase after him, it was too late.
Just as Gongsun Long walked outside the door, Chen Zheng, who was standing inside the door, said coldly: "With such strength, you dare to call yourself a well-educated person, don't you see me coming and can't run?" Hahahaha! ”
Everyone in the living room was stunned, Gongsun Long turned around and walked back, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Zheng: "Good boy, you have a kind!" Don't think that if you run away in a few words, the old man will be afraid of you, today in front of all the adults, the old man will teach you to be incomplete! After saying that, he sat back in his place.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand and beckoned Chen Zheng to sit next to Kong Chuan, and said with a smile: "That's right!" Huh? Before Brother Lu came, where did we go? ”
Lou Chang said: "Zigao Gongzi came all the way from Lu to admire Mr. Gongsun's fame, but he didn't think about it, but his sincerity was rejected by Mr. Gongsun in person. Pingyuan Jun can't bear it, no, send someone to invite Lu Gongzi to arrange this matter. ”
Zhao Sheng looked at Chen Zheng: "Yes, yes!" Brother Lu, but I have been matching for a long time with little effect, whether Zigao Gongzi can worship Mr. Gongsun as a teacher depends on you! ”
Chen Zheng thought to himself, no matter if he is Confucius Gao or Groove Cake, whether he worships the teacher or not, who does it have to do with me? !
"Hahahaha!" Gongsun Long raised his head and laughed: "Since Zigao Gongzi intends to worship me as a teacher, of course it is the honor of the old man." Unexpectedly, Mr. Gao asked the old man to give up the white horse and not the horse. The reason why the old man is famous all over the world is because of the saying that the white horse is not a horse and has traveled all over the world, and he has never met an opponent so far. My lord, this person who wants to worship others as a teacher is always not as knowledgeable as others, right?! Now he wants the old man to give up his doctrine, which is to teach the old man first, and then worship me as a teacher. First to teach the old man, and then worship the old man as a teacher, how can there be such a reason in the world? ! ”
Kong Chuan looked around at the people present, blushed and said: "Zi once said: Reviewing the old and learning the new, you can be a teacher." Although Mr. Gongsun is famous for his saying that a white horse is not a horse, but this statement is far-fetched and strong, why not change his course and use Confucianism as a teacher for his students? ”
Gongsun Long chuckled and said: "Since Gongzi Gao has moved out of Old Master Kong, Old Man may ask, does Gongzi know the allusion of King Chu's loss of bow back then?" ”
“……”
Kong Chuan's face turned red, and he said timidly: "Zi once said: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing." What is the loss of the bow of the king of Chu, I hope that Mr. will give advice. ”
"Hahahaha!" Gongsun Long laughed on his back: "Back then, the king of Chu opened his weak bow, loaded it with an arrow of death, and hunted in the Yunmeng Hunting Ground, but he lost the bow. The entourage asked to find it, but the king of Chu said, the Chu people lost their bows, and the Chu people picked up the bows, so why bother looking for them. After hearing this, Confucius said that the benevolence and righteousness of the king of Chu are still insufficient, and it should be said that people lose their bows and people pick them up, so why bother to say that the people of Chu are there?! From this point of view, Confucius distinguishes Chu people from people, and he is not much higher than the realm of the king of Chu. Now that Zi Gao Gongzi wants the old man to give up the statement of distinguishing between a white horse and a horse, isn't it contrary to Confucius?! Gongzi kept saying that it was Confucianism, but when it came to the old man, he had to oppose Confucius's views. If you want to learn from me, but you teach me to give up what you're taught, even if there are a hundred people like the old man, you can't be a teacher of the son, right?! ”
“……”
Kong Piercing sat there and shook it for a few moments, and muttered: "Zi once said: Clever words, fresh and benevolent..."
Chen Zheng really couldn't listen to it anymore, and waved his hand at Kong Chuan: "Stop!" Don't take a bite of 'once said' here, flash back, I want to see what a white horse is and not a horse! ”
Sitting between Chen Zheng and Gongsun Long, Kong Piercing hurriedly retreated as if he had met a savior.
Gongsun Long looked at Chen Zheng and said with disdain: "Huh? Even if you kid dares to be strong in front of the old man?! ”
"Hey, hey!" Chen Zheng smiled: "You sour Confucianism who crawled out of the vinegar vat, today I want to learn and understand, how can a white horse not be a horse?" ”
Gongsun Long shook his head and shook his head: "Horse, so the shape is also." The white one, so the color of life also. The color of life is not the shape of life, so it is said: white horses are not horses. Moreover, ask for horses, yellow and black horses can be caused. Ask for a white horse, yellow and black horses can't be caused. Horses are inherently colored, so there are white horses. He makes horses colorless, and horses like their ears. Antori Hakuba? Therefore, the white one is not a horse. The white horse, the horse and the white, the white and the horse. Therefore, it is said: white horses are not horses. ”
After hearing this, Chen Zheng's body almost shook for a moment, and refuted: "Look at your chirping, to put it simply, isn't it white is white, a horse is a horse, and a white horse is not a horse!" ”
"Exactly! What's wrong? You kid want to compare with the old man, can't you? ”
Chen Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Gongsun Long: "Since the white horse is not a horse, let me ask you, is the old horseman a human?" ”
