The academic qualifications of the name and the truth are regarded as primary schools, and they are slightly related to orthodox Taoism, so they can survive until the Tiancheng Dynasty, there are not many scholars, there are fewer people who teach, and the scholars belong to the best among them.

In the school, Wen Ren pedant is more careful, not to let the study of name and reality too far from the "orthodoxy", tonight is different, maybe through drunkenness, maybe the lake light is moving, he wants to say some real thoughts in his heart.

"The so-called 'following the name and being responsible' is actually a kind of trick to get along with people." The pedant lowered his voice slightly, as if he was revealing a secret that had been hidden for years.

"The art of matchmaking? As Mr. said before, the study of name and reality can be used to evaluate characters, and the Master's so-called 'listen to his words and watch his deeds'......"

Wen Ren Pedant shook his head, "I say this to make everyone think that the study of name and reality is more orthodox, but in fact, it is physiognomy, which can not only evaluate someone's past and present, but even predict someone's future." ”

Lou Ji was speechless, this was not the science of name and truth that he knew, nor was it the pedant he knew.

The wine on the table was still there, and the pedant took the cup and drank it all, and the building hurriedly poured another glass, the night was already dark, and he could only grope for the position with the help of the light of the stars and the moon.

"The study of name and reality is a trick, 'follow the name and be responsible' - it is complicated, and it cannot be studied thoroughly for a lifetime, and it is nothing more than a few words: the name is the name outside, the ambition is the ambition inside, the 'name' and the 'ambition' are the same thing; the outside is the truth, the internal force is the force, and the 'reality' and the 'force' are the same thing. The name is in line with the truth, its people are mediocre, the name is too real, its people are vain, the real is too famous, and its people are yin. ”

"Are people who match their names mediocre?" Lou Ji was taken aback again, this was completely different from what he had learned before, and especially not in line with orthodoxy.

Wenren pedant nodded, put another glass of wine down, poured the foundation of the building again, only poured out a little, and found that the pot was empty.

"Isn't it mediocre if the name matches the truth, and the person is complacent and has no desire to improve?"

"If the name of the person is 'upward', what if he is also 'motivated'?" Lou Ji asked, holding a flask.

Wen Ren Pedant drank the only half glass of wine left, "The gentleman moves from time to time, and if the opportunity is not there, he would rather lie in the depths." Your so-called 'motivated' people are always motivated, do not choose the right time, do not choose the right place, do not ask people, often do more than half the result, or even have no merit for life, this is not a mediocre person? ”

Lou Ji was once again speechless.

The pedant raised the empty cup and drank it with his neck tilted up, as if there was still wine in the cup, "Don't take mediocrity as a derogatory, most people in the world are mediocre, and mediocrity is at least not harmful in the world, and those who do not match the name and reality will sooner or later fall into mediocrity and become the person he should be." ”

A cool breeze blew on the lake, and the pedant seemed to let out a sigh, and went away with the wind, he stretched out his empty cup, and the building base held the empty pot to make the appearance of pouring wine.

After drinking it all again, the pedant suddenly laughed a few times, "The mediocre people are clear at a glance, there is no need to speculate, the latter two kinds of people are 'following the name and responsibility'." The name is too real, his people are vain, and the chaos in the world comes from the hands of such people, you think he can do something and entrust him with a heavy task, but he makes a mess and keeps it unused, and he complains and waits for bad things. ”

The first thing that came to Lou's mind was his own family, the general was famous in the world, but he had no intention of leading troops to fight, and his daily calculations were human relations and division of interests, but he held the military power and was responsible for quelling rebellions in various places.

"There are quite a few such people." On the basis of the building, he "poured" a glass of wine.

"Spilled." Wen Ren pedant reminded.

The floor was busy setting the spout.

"The third type of person is really too famous, his person is a dark owl, with great ambitions but very deeply hidden, once revealed, it is either a great traitor or a great sage. There is only one way, don't reveal it too early, it will be ruined early and will be laughed at by the world. ”

Lou Ji's heart beat wildly for a while, and his hands were still honestly "pouring wine".

Wen Ren was pedantic but didn't want to drink anymore, put down the cup, "Recently, you have been a little abnormal, occasionally your expression will change abruptly, and there seems to be something important unresolved in your heart. ”

Lou Ji slowly put the empty pot back on the table, trying to control his slightly trembling arms, "Really?" I don't think so. ”

"You don't give your article to someone else for money or friendship, right?"

Regarding this matter, Lou Ji couldn't deny, "I hope this article will be seen, but I don't want to get attention because of it, so I ......"

"You are imprisoned, no one pays attention to you, you are inexplicably self-harming, and you must hide your ambitions. What makes you so cautious? Something to do with Mavi? ”

Lou Ji's heart became more and more shocked, and he bowed his hands deeply, "The disciple promises that others will come first, and I hope that Mr. will not ask again." ”

"Well, I don't intend to get to the bottom of it, I just want to remind you that how big your ambition is, how deep your patience must be, and you showed it too early, which makes me feel that you are a person who is 'too famous'."

"Disciples are taught." The foundation of the building is deep again.

Wen Ren Pedant waved his hand, and his voice became weak, "Leave the bookcase behind, you go to the bar, I'm going to sit here alone for a while." ”

Lou Ji withdrew from the pavilion, walked a few steps and turned back, knelt down to the scholar to pay a great salute to the teacher, and said after three bows: "What Mr. said today, the disciple remembers in mind. There is one more thing to ask me, what is Ma Wei in the eyes of Mr......"

"The so-called physiognomy of the study of name and reality is not the same thing as secular physiognomy at all, you either realize yourself or not, and you should not seek advice from others."

Lou Ji got up and withdrew again, and walked back to the hall in a daze, thinking about it repeatedly along the way, as if he had realized something, and there were many puzzles, but he wanted to understand one thing, almost everything he had done recently had made mistakes, especially in the face of Seventh Brother Lou Shuo, he had made a big mistake.

From Lou Shuo, he will never get a recommendation.

In the hall, everyone was already drunk, some laughed wildly, some wept bitterly, some scolded, and there were scuffles and drunkenness everywhere.

How serious the ceremony was when he first met the prince, how indulgent the scene is now.

Lou Ji actually didn't want to come back to drink, thinking about things, and there was nowhere else to go, unconsciously walked back, the first thing I saw at the east palace Liang Shengzhi, the prince was not there, he was equivalent to the master here, at this time he was standing on the table, out of nowhere to get a bronze jue, raised it high, slowly poured the wine inside to the heads of the people around him, and his face was full of pranks.

"The name is too real", Lou Ji immediately made a judgment on Liang Shengzhi in his heart, this person is smart, he can see that the general has bad intentions, but that's all, even if he sees the emperor, he can't do anything.

On the other end, Ma Wei was chatting with several people, and there were even two officials from the East Palace among the listeners.

Ma Wei likes to make friends, and he is good at making friends, sometimes it becomes a kind of cover-up, he belongs to the "name is too real"? Or is it "too famous"? The foundation of the building was not clearly visible.

Zhou Lu stumbled over, holding a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, he was simple, his name was completely consistent, and it was not troublesome to guess at all.

"Where are you hiding? It's not easy to have a glass of wine with you, come, have a drink, this is my toast to you, you have to drink it! ”

Lou Ji took the wine glass and asked, "Have you taken revenge?" ”

As soon as someone mentioned this matter, Zhou Lu was annoyed, threw the wine jug to the ground, and said sharply: "If you don't avenge this revenge, you won't be a man!" Don't worry, I've found someone who can avenge me, and as soon as he makes a move, even the king of heaven will have to kneel and beg for mercy......"

The building walked away, Zhou Lu was still pointing at the sky and scolding the earth, the hall was noisy, everyone was out of shape, and no one cared about the shouts of the Zhou family's son.

It wasn't until after the third watch that the runaway banquet ended, and the handymen either led the way or carried them, sent everyone to the room to rest, and then cleaned up the mess, all of them looked blank, and they were not surprised by such a scene.

The building was woken up early in the morning.

Ma Wei was in good spirits, and he couldn't tell how much wine he had drunk last night, "We have to leave Fubo Garden before noon, let's take a stroll." ”

"Is that okay?" The foundation of the building is still yawning.

"The prince has returned to the palace, and there are no guards in the garden."

Fubo Garden does not provide breakfast, and the others have not woken up, Lou Ji and Ma Wei wandered along the path, suddenly saw the lake, suddenly encountered the mountain, very comfortable.

Coming to a place where no one was around, Ma Wei said: "Things may be done." ”

Brother Ma inquired...... Whereabouts? ”

"Not yet, but it's a bit of an eyebrow." Ma Wei looked around and lowered his voice slightly, "Liang Sheren may be able to help." ”

Lou Ji remembered that Liang Shengzhi claimed that he was going to meet the emperor to impeach the general Lou Wen, probably because he knew that he would not be able to enter the palace, so he also had to act while the emperor was in private service.

"No." Lou Ji shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

"Liang Sheren is unscrupulous, pull him in, I'm afraid it will be bad."

"Don't worry, of course I won't tell him the truth, I just say that I want to make meritorious service with him, so as to avoid being imprisoned."

Lou Ji still shook his head, Ma Wei smiled: "Is Brother Ji worried about being robbed?" I admire my brother, not only for the current incident, but because I know that my brother is talented......"

"Wait a few more days, if there is really no way on my side, you can find Liang Sheren again."

Ma Wei frowned slightly, "Then you have to hurry up, Liang Sheren doesn't wait for anyone, he is very anxious." ”

"Three days at the least, five days at the most."

"Okay, I'll wait for you for five days."

The two walked forward again, and Lou Ji asked, "How did Brother Ma persuade Liang Sheren to help?" ”

"No need to convince, I commented on the figures in the court in public, claiming that General Lou must have different intentions - sorry, I had to say something bad about Ling Zun - and then Liang Sheren took the initiative to come to me."

Lou Ji didn't mind Ma Wei's approach, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma is a character in public, not afraid of retaliation?" ”

"Hey, there is an advantage to being the emperor of the former dynasty, the worse the situation, the more you can talk nonsense, and being cautious will be suspicious."

Lou Ji laughed, remembering the old servant's opinion of Ma Wei, he hadn't noticed it before, and then he realized that this friend did often put the word "emperor" on his lips.

"It was interesting to hear that the pedant said something to me last night......"

Ma Wei's smile disappeared, "Have you heard?" The Temptation Hall will soon be abolished, and the pedants will be dismissed. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Well, the court turned a blind eye to internal and external troubles, but stared at a little flaw, thinking that the knowledge taught by the Temptation Hall was deviant, and it would be necessary to get rid of it quickly. Pity a few old gentlemen, I don't know where to go to earn a living in the future. What did the pedant say to you? ”

"It's still the kind of study that is in name only." Lou Ji said perfunctorily, and suddenly he didn't want to tell Ma Wei the whole truth.
