Chapter 30 Mountains and Rivers
Qin Huaishan walked outside Shi Zhan's room with Qin Wan's support, and Qin Wan whispered, "This is it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qin Huaishan tidied up his clothes, knocked lightly on the door, and Shi Zhan's voice came from the house: "Come in." ”
Qin Huaishan gently pushed the door open, Qin Wan helped him walk in, Shi Zhan was lying on the bed reading a book, heard someone push the door in, and looked back, it was Qin Wan who came in with a stranger, Shi Zhan immediately reacted that it was Qin Wan's father, so he asked, "Miss Qin, is this Ling Zun?" ”
Qin Huaishan let go of Qin Wan's hand, stood straight, put his hands forward, hugged his right hand with his left hand, and then saluted: "Qin Huaishan, grass people, meet the general." ”
Shi Zhan hurriedly waved his hand and said to Qin Huaishan: "No need to be polite, please take a seat." Then he raised his head and said to Qin Wan: "Miss Qin, your father has not recovered yet, help him sit down." ”
Qin Wan nodded, then took a stool and said to Qin Huaishan, "Dad, sit down." ”
Qin Huaishan sat down tremblingly and said to Shi Zhan: "Thanks to the great grace of the general and the son, I saved my father and daughter, but because the grass people have been sick in bed, they did not come to thank the general in person earlier, and asked the general to forgive him." ”
"Sir is polite, I look at Mr.'s words and talk is by no means a layman, and he can make the act of saluting so standard, it seems that Mr. is also a person who reads poetry and books."
"Qin is ashamed, in his early years, he worshiped under a master, and when he was young, he often sighed that Kong said that he was benevolent and Meng said that he took righteousness, and in the end he ended up with this down-and-out appearance, he never became benevolent, nor did he take righteousness, so he was ashamed to read poetry and books, and he didn't dare to be ashamed, Qin knew that he had insulted his teacher and insulted Confucius and Mencius."
"Mr. is modest, now in troubled times, there are few people who can talk like Mr. without talking extraordinary."
"The general has praised someone in Qin, compared with the general, Qin is far away, who in the Central Plains doesn't know the prestige of the general? Wherever the general's army went, the Han people all supported it, and your subordinates had strict military discipline and were invincible, and they had long been the object of praise in the Han people of the Central Plains. ”
"These so-called fame are all exchanged for the blood and sweat of the soldiers, not the credit of my Shi, I am just doing my best to benefit the country and the people."
"The general has the world in mind and cares about the common people, and in today's troubled times, it is really a blessing for the people of Li."
"Shi's ability is limited, and he can only do his best." Shi Zhan smiled bitterly.
"Qin originally thought that the general was just a rough man who had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he didn't expect that he was also a well-educated person." Qin Huaishan said with a smile.
"Oh? How so? Shi Zhan asked curiously.
"The "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" in the general's hand is not something that everyone will read, this is one of the Confucian classics, not only a historical masterpiece of our Han family, but also a literary masterpiece, which can be described as a masterpiece of the ages."
Shi Zhan listened to Qin Huaishan's words, couldn't help but look at him with admiration, put down the book, and asked more politely: "It seems that Mr. is a real person who does not show his face, this "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" only started to read yesterday, it is a little obscure, I don't know if Mr. can teach a thing or two." ”
Qin Huaishan smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "According to legend, this book was written by Zuo Qiu Ming, a historian of the Lu State in the late Spring and Autumn Period, with a total of thirty-five volumes, which recorded important events and important figures in the political, military, cultural and other aspects of various countries from the period of Lu Yin to the Lu Ai Gong period. However, because of its age, some of the sentences in the book are indeed a bit obscure. I wonder which one the general is reading now? ”
Shi Zhan handed the book to Qin Huaishan and said, "It is this one, "The Strange Advice of the Palace". ”
Qin Huaishan took the book, looked at it roughly, and said: "This article is about Jin Xiangong wanting to send troops to attack the country of Yu, but on the way to the road of Yu on the way to the country, the prince sent people to send beautiful jade and good horses to the monarch of the country of Yu, Yu Gong, hoping to use the way to send troops, the minister Gong Zhiqi under the Duke of Yu said that he could not borrow the truth, and told the truth that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, and then the Duke of Yu did not listen, and after the second time the Duke of Xian destroyed the country of Yu, he took the opportunity to attack the country of Yu, and the story is probably like this. ”
Shi Zhan nodded silently, and Qin Huaishan continued: "What I just said is the literal meaning of this story, if we look at this story from another angle, the position of Jin Xiangong, we can get a different understanding." ”
Shi Zhan said: "I want to hear about it! ”
Qin Huaishan stroked his beard and said: "Jin Xiangong was able to successfully annex Yu and Yu, thanks to his ruthlessness, first, he used the beautiful jade horse as a bait to lure Yu Gong to take the bait, and second, Jin and Yu are really the same clan, but the six relatives of Xiangong do not recognize it, regardless of the family affection of the same clan, and are mercenary. As the saying goes, reluctant children can't trap wolves, Jin Xiangong spent a lot of money to deceive Yu Gong's trust, and then took the opportunity to destroy Yu Guo after destroying the Kingdom of Yu, so that the beautiful jade horse he used to borrow the Tao before was just a move for him to throw stones and ask for directions, and in the end it was all back to his hands. Therefore, Xiangong's vision is more long-term. ”
Qin Huaishan paused, and then said: "But the fate of Duke Yu is also a lesson, first, he may not understand the truth of his lips and teeth until he dies, and second, he believes too much that the Jin Kingdom is the same sect as Yu Guo, and it is impossible to have an intention against Yu Guo, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, not to mention that in troubled times, how can there be so much affection at all?" ”
Shi Zhan listened to Qin Huaishan's remarks, and kept applauding and praising with admiration: "It's really hidden in the city, Mr.'s high learning, so that Shi admires, if Mr. does not dislike it, he will stay in the house for a long time in the future, and when he has the opportunity in the future, Shi will recommend Mr. to His Majesty to enter the court as an official, and with Mr.'s talent, he will be able to determine the country." ”
Qin Huaishan shook his head and politely refused: "The general is gracious, Qin Mou's heart has understood, I will learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I will definitely not serve the Hu people." Since the Hu people entered the Central Plains, not to mention how many people in the Central Plains were killed, everywhere Hu Kou went, all burned literature and ancient books, and many of the ancestors' painstaking works were burned. ”
Shi Zhan was a little embarrassed by Qin Huaishan's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Qin Huaishan also seemed to see Shi Zhan's embarrassment, so he said: "General, don't misunderstand Qin's meaning, Qin is not accusing the general of being spineless, on the contrary, if it weren't for the general's military power, the life of the people in the Central Plains would probably be even more miserable, and I, Qin, am different, I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I don't have the courage to kill the enemy on the battlefield, whether I exist or not, it doesn't affect so much, the so-called greater ability, the heavier the responsibility, I, Qin, should be an ordinary person with peace of mind, this is the heavy responsibility of saving the people in the world, It can only be shouldered by someone like a general. ”
"Mr. looks down on me Shi, sometimes, I also have a weak heart, and now you can see me." Shi Zhan smiled bitterly.
"The general attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his integrity is outstanding, and he will definitely leave a name in history one day."
"Don't seek eternal beauty, but seek a clear conscience."
"Talking to the general today is really a great blessing in life."
"Mr. is very knowledgeable, and he is also an extraordinary husband, Shi has the intention to keep Mr. in the house, and it is convenient to ask for advice at any time, I don't know if Mr. and Miss Qin are willing?"
Qin Huaishan saw that Shi Zhan was so retained, so he was a little moved, this year, leaving Xihua Houfu, where can it be a place for the father and daughter?
Qin Wan quietly pushed behind Qin Huaishan's back and didn't speak.
Qin Huaishan naturally understood his daughter's intentions, and pretended to shirk: "The general is gracious, our father and daughter have a heart, but they are afraid that they will waste the food in the house in vain, but they can't do anything for the general." ”
Shi Zhan waved his hand and said: "Mr. is wrong, Shi invited your father and daughter to live, firstly, to admire Mr. Knowledge, and secondly, this world is too chaotic, your father and daughter have no relatives and no reason, this place is also a place to stay, as long as the two of you don't dislike it." ”
Qin Huaishan was quite moved when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up, wanting to kowtow to thank him, Shi Zhan hurriedly said: "Miss Qin, hurry up and hold your father, Mr. doesn't have to be like this, I have a sincere fellowship with Mr., if I do this great gift, I am afraid that it will break this admiration." ”
Qin Huaishan was pulled by Qin Wan, then stood up and said: "The general's kindness, our father and daughter can't repay it, if there is a place where Qin can be used, the general will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”
"Qianjin Yi learned that the sound is hard to find, looking at the entire court, no one can talk to me so heart-to-heart, today with Mr. A seat, better than me to read for ten years, make such a friend, how can you be willing to let you go to the soup? Hahaha! ”
"The general's true temperament is also, you and I are both injured, it is better to replace the wine with tea, it is considered to be so speculative for our conversation today, I don't know what the general wants?"
"That's a good idea!" Shi Zhan was also quite happy.
Seeing this, Qin Wan hurriedly poured two cups of tea and handed them to Shi Zhan first, and then to her father. The two picked up the teacups and said solemnly: "Please!" ”
The two drank it all and smiled at each other.
