Chapter 32 Today's Day is Troubled
Chapter 32 Today's Day is Troubled
Sima Qian's history was not written smoothly, mainly because the history of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors period was too unreliable.
He found it difficult to write.
If he wants to write a general history, then he must start from the origin of the Great Han Kingdom.
If you want to write about the origin of the Great Han Kingdom, you must explain the origin of these people in the Great Han Kingdom.
If it is written like this, Pangu, Nuwa, Suiren...... will appear in his history books.
It's disappointing to think about it, Pangu can open up the world, Nuwa can make people out of the soil, Shennong can taste a hundred herbs, the Yellow Emperor can call the wind and rain, Chiyou can mobilize millions of demon gods, Xingtian's head can continue to fight, even if it is the likes of Jiuchi, the meat forest can be drunk...... When you get to Liu Che, you only have the ability to get some white deer coins!
If one generation is not as good as the next, the history cannot be written.
When Yun Lang saw Sima Qian, he happened to meet him coming out of the cellar, and the ink marks on his mouth didn't have time to clean up.
Seeing Yun Lang coming, Sima Qian grabbed him and said, "Is there any wine?" ”
Yun Lang was stunned and said, "Naturally, there is." ”
"How much?"
"Not less!"
"What do you think of the two of us going to your cellar for a drink today?"
"Why do you have to go to the cellar to drink? It's good to drink outside. ”
"No face!"
These words are obviously perfunctory, and Sima Qian's wife is standing at the door at this time, also with a sad face.
"My father is not patient with the hard work of his career, and he is ready to resign and go home to retire, and I will take over the position of historian."
After drinking a glass of wine, Sima Qian finally said the real reason, writing history has reached a dead end, and there will be no possibility of coming out for a while.
"What about what you wrote before?"
Sima Qian smiled heroically: "Burn it down." ”
"Why?"
"I'm tired of seeing it, why don't I burn it?"
"Not ready to write your magnum opus?"
"Writing, but you need to play gongs and drums to open again, the heart is insufficient, the knowledge is not enough, the knowledge is shallow, and there is no gap in the chest, how can such Sima Qian write a brilliant masterpiece?
Drink, drink, and let me go to the world for a while...... Hahaha......"
Yun Lang knew that Sima Qian's career had not been smooth, and this time, I was afraid that he would have to roll in the mud pit of officialdom.
However, Yun Lang still raised a glass to congratulate him and congratulated him on his rise.
This time Sima Qian was so drunk that he seemed to put all his thoughts in the wine glass, and then swallowed it with the spirits.
After getting drunk, Sima Qian said goodbye to the Yun family, where he had lived for two years, and rode in an ox cart loaded with his wife and two large boxes of books, and went to Chang'an with confidence.
Song Qiao wanted to take back the Tingtao Residence where Sima Qian lived, that beautiful place had been almost ruined by the couple, and it should be rebuilt to entertain the next distinguished guest.
Yun Lang didn't think that anyone else could be more noble than Sima Qian, so he didn't allow Song Qiao to send someone to rebuild Tingtaoju, but just sent someone to do daily sprinkling and cleaning of Tingtaoju.
A scholar who is full of righteousness and goes down the mountain to become an official, it is estimated that it will not be long before he returns to the Yun family and continues to live here to write books.
He Chou You no longer eats fried beans, Huo Guang said that He Chou You ate a bean last month, and as a result, one of his teeth was damaged by the bean and he bled a lot.
This is a symbol of old age......
However, he still likes the spiced broad beans made by Yunlang, at least the boiled beans are glutinous and soft, and will not hurt his teeth.
In this way, He Chou gave up the famous iron broad beans and began to eat spiced beans, which seemed to be a small change.
In fact, in Yun Lang's view, this is an important sign that He Chou has no ambition to overcome difficulties.
From then on, He Chou You was no longer the person who made everyone feel feared.
Now he is just an old man who teaches the Yun family's martial arts.
Power is a man's most powerful elixir of immortality, as long as the power is still in his hands, he will not feel old.
For more than a year, He Chou never saw Liu Che again, nor did he receive any instructions from Liu Che.
The man seemed to have forgotten his existence......
Although He Chou You is getting older, he is becoming more like a person, and the edge of the Qingquan Residence where he lives is full of orchids he dug from Li Mountain.
The clay pot containing orchids was given to him by Yun Lang, and each clay pot made He Chou very satisfied, in his opinion, the vat of orchids in the palace could not be put on the table.
The fragrance of orchids is far away, and the colder the weather, the farther the taste spreads, and the huge Qingquanju is shrouded in a vague aroma of orchids.
"A good man should not be an official, a hermit should be completely hidden, all hermits who can be persuaded by the royal family to go down the mountain are all people who seek power and profit, and only at my age do I know how pleasant it is to be able to plant a few pots of orchids safely."
Yun Lang shook his head with a smile and said, "Why don't I wait until I'm seventy years old to learn to grow orchids with you?" ”
He Chou smiled slightly, the corners of his eyes were full of joy, and he pointed to the orchids around him and said: "I will live until that time, but these orchids can be given to you."
When I die, remember to make me into a clay sculpture of me, without melting my flesh and blood, you can directly make a fat clay sculpture. Choose a place where you can be lazy against the wall, put me away, and then close the Lingwei camp! ”
Yun Lang chuckled: "I want to seal it off now, as for you, you should get a coffin and bury it in the Yun family's cemetery, you are the master of Yun Yin and Huo Guang, they should come to worship you from time to time." ”
He Chou ate a five-spice bean and said, "You won't go in in the future?" ”
Yun Lang said proudly: "I am from the Han Dynasty!" ”
He Chou picked his thumb and said: "Yes, yes, I remember that you said in front of me before that you are an old Qin person!"
This kind of milk is a mother's style, ordinary people can't learn it, especially those who can also see the dirty means of seeing the wind and making the rudder, and say a martyr's atmosphere, there are probably only you in this world, right? ”
Yun Lang smiled and waved his hand: "Abandon me and go to yesterday's day, you can't stay, those who disturb my heart will be worried today."
He Gong, and drink the wine in the cup. ”
He Chou said with a smile: "The sentence is very good, but it is used on you to spoil it, what?" Seeing that scholars like Sima Qian have all entered the office, but a great talent like you has been abandoned by His Majesty, are you very unwilling? ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said: "I am not unwilling, if possible, I would like to live my life like this with nothing to do." ”
"Aren't you afraid of drowning your worldly talent?"
"Huh? Am I talented? Why don't I know? ”
He Chou patted Yun Lang's shoulder heavily and said, "The old man said that you have the talent of the world, you must have the talent worthy of this sentence."
The old man is seventy and six this year, and he has been circling in the palace all his life, and the talented and virtuous people he has seen are like carp crossing the river, and even the old man who is such a character as Liuhou has also lived with his own eyes, if you were born at the end of Qin, I am afraid that you will be better than Liuhou two points.
Don't be presumptuous. ”
Yun Lang laughed and said, "This is why He Gong loves me. ”
He Chou You couldn't help laughing, raised the wine bowl and said, "Talking to you can always make the old man happy, drink a lot!" ”
He Chou had a bad amount of alcohol, and after the two drank two jars of Yun's spirits, He Chou had an excuse to be dizzy and went to sleep in Qingquanju.
Leave the messy wine field to Yun Lang to deal with.
Yun Lang frowned, drank the remaining bowl of wine, threw the bowl on the table, and left Qingquanju with a light sigh.
He Chou had the news that there were no dogs there, which made Yun Lang's mood very bad.
Thinking of that thin and weak boy, now that he is struggling alone on the grassland, Yun Lang feels very sorry for the dog.
Right Beiping, Yanmen Pass two armies flanked Longcheng, in Longcheng is about to have an unprecedented decisive battle.
Yun Lang really hopes that the dog can come back sooner at this time.
The dog stood in the grass one man high, and carefully looked at the wild goats in front of him, which usually lived on cliffs, and did not know why they appeared on flat ground.
The meat of wild goats is very delicious, and as long as the shepherds meet wild goats, they are not willing to let go.
A short crossbow appeared in the dog's hand, and the three crossbow arrows were already hung up, and as long as the hair was buckled, the wild goat had no possibility of escaping.
Just when the dog was about to kill him, Lan Ying, who was lying in ambush nearby, suddenly pounced on the wild goat fiercely, and his outstretched hands were as good as grabbing the short horns of the wild goat.
The wild goat struggled hard, Lan Ying's body shook with the shaking of the wild goat, and the wild goat's hooves stepped on her several times, but she still didn't let go.
"Dog, come on, this is a big goat!"
