Chapter 83: A gentleman is not different
"Kuang Liang gets drunk after drinking a bucket?"
After listening to Zou Zheng's story about what happened in the hunting ground of Yingqiu Mountain that night, Xun Jing didn't feel strange: "There are people in the world who are good drinkers, and there are also people who are not good at drinking, such as me, I am not strong enough to drink. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing Xun being self-deprecating, Zou Zheng couldn't help but say: "Jixia sacrificial wine is not good at wine, this is already a proverb in Linzi." However, I don't know about the sacrificial wine, but General Kuang Liang is a big amount of wine, and it is said that he is better at drinking than the previous sacrificial wine Mr. Chun Yu (Chun Yu Bun), and a stone of wine is not a problem. ”
"I have a nephew who also participated in the hunt that day, and according to him, at first Kuang Liang also made a mockery, saying that he would not get drunk unless Chang Anjun poisoned the wine. Unexpectedly, after the wine jar was opened, the smell of wine overflowed, and everyone's faces changed greatly, and they felt that the taste of this wine was unusual. Kuang Liang drank it, and his expression was very different, and he asked Chang Anjun what kind of wine is this? ”
Chang'anjun retorted that if Kuang Liang was timid, he could give up. So Kuang Liang was furious, and despite the fact that the wine was extremely strong, he took a large wine bottle and put it into his throat half at a time. At the beginning, it was okay, but he laughed at Chang Anjun while drinking, saying that this wine was nothing more than that; Unexpectedly, after half a bucket, the whole person began to sway, and the hand holding the wine bottle was unstable; When I drank seven or eight liters, although I still wanted to continue drinking, it was difficult to continue; When he was strong enough to reach the ninth liter, he tripped and fell to the ground, unconscious, and then vomited several times, almost choking to death with dirt......"
In short, Kuang Liang lost the gamble, according to the agreement, he not only let Chang'anjun's private subordinates enter the city, but also held the bridle for Chang'anjun when he returned to Linzi the next day. At that time, the north gate of Linzi was in full view, and the famous general led the horse for Zhao Guo's proton with red eyes, which was an extremely rare thing.
After listening, Xunzi couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that Zhangzi is a generation of heroes, but he gave birth to such unscrupulous descendants, not fighting for the court field, but competing for the banquet between the bottles, even if he is humiliated, he is to blame!" ”
Zou Zheng rolled up his sleeves and poured wine in Xunzi's cup: "When Kuang Liang was drunk that day, everyone was frightened and curious, and they tried it one after another, and they all felt that it was spicy and pure and the only one in the world. Chang'an Jun is not small, after returning to the Proton Mansion, in addition to offering two cans to the King of Qi and the crown prince, he also gave a little to each family of the Secretary of State and the Doctor of Qi, although I have no friendship with him, but I also received gifts. This is the wine made by Chang'an Jun, can you taste the sacrificial wine? ”
As the wine was poured out of the copper kettle, the air was filled with a familiar smell of wine, but it was not as thin as rice wine, but strong and tangy, Li Si on the side straightened up and looked at the case, but saw that the liquid in the cup was colorless, clear and transparent, completely different from the turbid wine he drank in the countryside of Shangcai.
"This should be a wine that only nobles can afford to drink...... Li Si moved his throat, looking at the gilded copper kettle, a little envious. His family background is not bad, it is not good, it is just a family of Chinese people, and he can drink enough wine when he drinks the wax festival in the countryside all year round, and he can only taste it occasionally on weekdays.
It's not that the wine is delicious, it's just that he thinks that only the best people can drink the best wine, and those foreign objects are used to represent their own identity, and his goal is to leap to the top of people!
Xun Kuang didn't pay attention to the disciple's thoughts, raised the wine cup and sniffed it, tasted a little more, and immediately frowned, put down the wine cup and said, "It's really spicy...... I'll get drunk with a glass of this wine. ”
Zou Zheng said with a smile: "The sacrificial wine can be seen in Zhao Kingdom? ”
Xun Guo shook his head: "As the saying goes, Zhao wine is thick and Lu wine is thin, but even if it is the thickest wine in Zhao Kingdom, it is not as strong as half of this wine." ”
"Chang'an Jun said, this is soju, and it is a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation by Zhongshan winemakers."
"Zhongshan is dead, who knows if what he said is true or not? I don't know much about wine, but it's not something that ordinary craftsmen can make. ”
"Yes, but Chang'anjun also claimed that he felt that it would be a pity if such a magic recipe was lost in silence, so he planned to fund those winemakers to open a winery in Linzi Proton to specialize in this kind of spirit."
Xun Guo saw through Chang'anjun's plan at a glance: "As the son of a country, he already has a rich land, a lot of food, embroidery clothes, and horses, do you still want to make a profit by drinking in Linzi?" ”
Although Xunzi did not "speak of benevolence and righteousness but not profit" like Mencius, he also had his own set of utilitarian views, and in terms of economic policy, he advocated thrift, suppressed desires, collected wealth, and stored grain. On the contrary, he agrees with the law of prohibiting folk liquor and wine sales implemented by the merchants of the Qin State, but this is destined to be impossible in the Qi State, where the merchant atmosphere is prevalent.
Zou Zheng also said: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, Meng Weijun, Suihou, Fengyangjun and others are still greedy for profit, not to mention Chang'anjun?" ”
Xun said helplessly: "The festival of drinking, the dynasty is not wasted, and the night is not wasted." "Wine Message" also said that the smaller the larger the state, the more innocent it is. Alcoholism is not a good thing for the world. ”
Zou Zheng said with a smile: "This spirit, the martial artists in the army love it, but where can ordinary scholars and doctors eat it?" For example, I still like ordinary rice wine, and I don't have to worry about sacrificial wine. ”
After that, he slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say, do you still remember Teng Geng?" ”
……
Referring to Teng Geng, Xun Jing said lightly: "How can I not remember? This doctor, every year, with a group of Qilu Confucians, attacked me in the Linzi court, wanting me to give up the position of sacrificial wine. ”
Although he and Meng's Confucianism both regarded Confucius as their sect and respected Confucius very much, the differences between the two were very huge. Xunzi criticized some of Mencius's views, and even put forward the "theory of sexual evil" that was diametrically opposed to the "theory of sexual goodness", but he still admired Mencius's personality and integrity of "being poor and lowly and unmovable, mighty and unyielding, and rich and noble".
However, even Teng Geng, a disciple who was not very popular with Mencius during his lifetime, regarded Xun as a "contemptible Confucian".
So Zou Zheng said that day of hunting in the hills and mountains, Chang'anjun and Zhao Guoren appeared in Hufu, and were harassed by Teng Geng, so Chang'anjun refuted Teng Geng and told the old Confucian to the ground.
Xun Guo said quickly, although he also "ancestral Shu Yao Shun, charter civil and military", his mouth is not departing from benevolence and righteousness, but it is very different from Confucius and Meng, and he does not exclude the reform of punishment, and advocates the solemn ceremony and the law, and the ritual law is used together.
He refuted mercilessly: "Teng Geng's generation, wearing a high crown and a broad belt, roughly following the example of the three generations of previous kings, learning some superficial appearances, and doing some boring things will only disturb the world, and there is no other use." They don't know how to imitate the queen, a system, and adapt to the situation, and their clothes seem to be ancient, but in fact they are no different from the customs, but they don't know their own vulgarity, and blindly use the words in the "poems" and "books" to lobby the king, forcing others to follow them, thinking that in this way they can restore the rule of three generations, this vulgar Confucian! ”
After listening to Zou Zheng's words about Chang'an Jun's paragraph about "people are good at learning from birds and beasts, so they can all have the length of tigers and leopards, rhinos, deer and horses, if they are birds and beasts, and if they are in Hufu", Xun was even more careful about it, and suddenly the case started!
That's a wonderful statement! Li Si, you go to the car quickly, and get pen and ink slips! ”
Zou Zheng's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "The sacrificial wine has Wensi again?" ”
"Yes, yes." Xun was not surprised when he changed his position, but he was a little excited at the moment: "I have nothing to do on the way back and forth to Chu State, so I have been pondering an article, but there is a paragraph that stops, and it is not appropriate to revise it many times." Thanks to Chang'anjun's words, I can continue to write! ”
Zou Zheng clapped his hands and praised: "It seems that I didn't come in vain today, I can watch the beauty of the sacrificial wine, like Confucius smelling Qi Yun!" ”
Many people in Jixia School Palace have recognized nicknames, such as Tian Piao, because he can speak well, such as opening the mouth of the sky, it is difficult to meet opponents, and he is called "Tiankou Piao". Zou Yanshan painted Kyushu, spoke of the five elements of yin and yang, and his remarks were extremely grand and extensive, so he was called "talking about Tianyan".
Zou Zheng got the nickname of "carving dragon Zheng", because in addition to carrying forward Zou Yan's theory, he was also very good at poetry and writing, and was famous for his careful carving of words and sentences, and was a good writer.
There are not many people in this world who can admire Zou Zheng, except for the late Qu Yuan, there is only Xun Zheng.
At this moment, Qu Yuan, who was born in the world of Chu Ci, is dead, and those who are good at writing and poetry in the world have Song Yu, Jingcha, and Tang Le in the south, and these three Chu people are known for their good words.
As for the north, there are hundreds of schools of thought under the grass, but most of their articles are written on the basis of facts, and many people can read the things they write, but they are really boring, but Xun has different works.
When he traveled in the Chu State, he absorbed the beauty of Qu Yuan's Chu Ci and the wonder of the short Fu of the Chu State, combined with the northern style, and created many works, such as "Rite Fu", "Zhi Fu", "Cloud Fu", "Silkworm Fu", "Needle Fu" and so on. Among them, there are figurative depictions of abstract spiritual products such as ritual and knowledge, as well as realistic depictions of concrete things such as clouds, silkworms, and needles. The five articles are written in hidden language, the sentence structure is mainly four words, mixed with five or seven words or more words, and the rhyme is scattered. In terms of technique, it is laid out in the loop, painting sound and color......
Therefore, Xun Guo's article not only has a deep connotation, but what is even more rare is that the writing is quite good, and it is popular, and every time he has a new article released, it will cause a sensation in the circle of nine streams and ten families.
If it weren't for such erudition and all-rounding, it would not have been possible to be elected as a sacrificial wine three times in a row!
When Li Si hurriedly took the pen and ink wooden slip, Xun was already full of thoughts, and his heart was itchy and patient, and he didn't wait for the charcoal ink to penetrate into the tip of the pen, so he picked it up and was about to write on it.
Zou Zheng thought that writing on the wooden slip was too slow, so he tore it and tore it in front of the two of them, and tore off a large piece of his wide sleeves with silk texture, spread it on the stone table, and held a corner with his hand, letting Xunzi sway.
At this moment, Xun Guo couldn't care about being polite, so he waved his pen and quickly followed his previous train of thought on the silk and wrote a few sentences......
Li Si waited on the side, looked at the words that fell like a fly, and read silently.
"Those who fake horses are not profitable, but thousands of miles; Those who fake the boat are not able to water, but the rivers. A gentleman is not different, and he is good at fake things! ”
