Chapter 0503: Fang Mou Du Shows One of Them

"The student Du Ruhui was ordered by the teacher to welcome General Wei."

Du Ruhui!

Tang Taizong Li Shimin's auxiliary Bi Liangchen, one of the "Fang Mou Du Xuan" Du Ruhui!

Fang Xuanling is good at planning, Du Ruhui is good at decisiveness, these two are definitely a super doubles combination in history!

You don't need to look at the system prompt to know that it must be incidental when summoning Wei Chigong!

Liu Mang was overjoyed. At that summoning, Wei Wentong and Wu Yunzhao cut off the connection one after another, and Liu Mang was a little depressed. Now, Wei Chigong returned to his heart, Du Ruhui appeared, and Liu Mang's previous depression was swept away.

"The weather is good, let's walk to the master." Although Liu Mang knew that Du Ruhui was extraordinary, he still wanted to know more about him.

"Such as obscure Guigeng?"

"Eight out of ten."

"I'm the same age." But looking at the figure, I feel that Du Ruhui is two or three years younger than Liu Mang.

"I'm ashamed. General Wei has made great achievements, but he is wasting his time. ”

Liu Mang intended to recruit Du Ruhui and observe him carefully. Du Ruyan spoke humbly, but there was no shame on his face. Calm as this, neither humble nor arrogant, revealing self-confidence.

"The status only indicates the difference in life experience and luck, such as obscure words and extraordinary bearing, and there will be great achievements in the future."

"General Wei praised it falsely." Du Ruhui has been smart since childhood, young and old, and full of confidence in his future. However, Liu Mang, who was in a high position in Jiuqing, was so encouraged, and Du Ruhui couldn't help but be excited.

Du Ruhui is just a young cloth, Liu Mang talked cordially regardless of dignity and humility, which surprised Du Ruhui and couldn't help but feel respect.

"I take the liberty of asking, why did you take the second name for Ru Hao?"

"Two names" is a two-word name. After Wang Mang usurped power, he promulgated the law of "removing two names", stipulating that the world should use one character name. Only those who have sinned should use two-character names.

Although the Eastern Han Dynasty no longer enforces this law, people have become accustomed to using single names. Especially for those who have read books, it is rare to use two names. Du Ruhui studied under Zheng Xuan, and his knowledge is not bad, so Liu Mang asked this question.

"A single name is fine. Whether it is a name or not, they are both titles. General Wei is a young talent, and he must not be a conformist person, such as changing his name in obscurity. It's just that the time should come to the world and express what you think. ”

Liu Mang nodded approvingly: "Yes, conduct and knowledge are the foundation of a husband's life, and it is really ridiculous for some people to judge others by their origin and name." "Say it. He whispered: "The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing." Seeing the gentleman, Yunhu doesn't like it. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Liu Mang has not been studying hard in vain recently, and what he is chanting is the "Wind and Rain" chapter in the Book of Poetry, and the name of Du Ruhui is precisely because of this.

This is a folk song that uses the wind and rain to remember people, saying that the wind and rain are combined. The heavens and the earth are dark; Outside the window, the rooster crows, and the sound is endless. In times of wind and rain, how can you not rejoice when you see people who are looking forward to it.

This song has always been interpreted as a woman missing her lover before. Later, scholars of the Han Dynasty extended the meaning of this song to "Thinking of the King in Troubled Times".

At the end of the Han Dynasty, in the autumn of troubled times, the world looked forward to the birth of Mingjun. Du Ruhui changed his name in the hope of meeting Mingjun. to display their talents.

At this time, this scene, this name, this person, in the dark, completely fit the artistic conception in the song, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

It's just that. "Thinking of the King in Troubled Times" has both expectations for Mingjun and dissatisfaction with those in power today. Speaking seriously, there is a suspicion of disobedience. Both of them are smart people, laughing and silent, all without saying anything......

……

Zheng Xuan's mental state is very good.

When others come to see him, it is a courtesy. It's socializing, it's boring, it's a headache.

And he chatted with Liu Mang for the sake of knowledge and interest.

Zheng Xuan is studying lexicology. There are many words in Chinese, but there are few words, and the contradictions can only be solved by one word with multiple meanings.

Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jie Zi" focuses on the original meaning of Chinese characters, and the original source is clear.

What Zheng Xuan is doing now is to excavate and sort out the extensions and false meanings of Chinese characters, summarize and sort them out, and summarize the rules.

Liu Mang speaks, mixed with modern and ancient. Those in the DPRK who think they are well-educated people often laugh at Liu Mang behind their backs. But in Zheng Xuan's view, Liu Mang's words and sentences are ignorant and casual on the surface, but they are expressed more clearly and accurately. Moreover, this way of using words and words is simpler and easier to understand, and if you taste it carefully, it is actually a return to nature and the artistic conception of returning to the basics

Of course, Zheng Xuan didn't know that Liu Mang used the Chinese language that had undergone several changes, and after thousands of years of removing the dross, although it also lost a small amount of essence, what was deposited was incomparable simplicity and practicality in ancient Chinese.

Zheng Xuan, at the level of grandmaster, and Liu Mang, who is illiterate, have formed a wonderful relationship between teachers and students of each other!

Of course, with Zheng Xuan's knowledge, there is no need to deliberately ask questions for advice, and in chatting with Liu Mang, he gradually comprehended the wonders of Liu Mang's language.

And Liu Mang, in the exchange with Zheng Xuan, also benefited a lot.

Liu Mang once asked Zheng Xuan for advice on how to deal with the troubles in the court.

Zheng Xuan replied with a smile: "The old man only understands the scriptures and history, not the court. In the scriptures and history, there are often things that contradict the classics and the annotations of later generations. ”

Liu Mang hurriedly listened to him.

"The classics and commentaries have been in the world for a long time, and righteousness may be appropriate, so they are not redetermined, and they will be said later. This is the experience of decay. ”

Liu Mang understands the meaning of the words. That is to say, to do scholarship, we must adopt a realistic attitude, and if we are not sure, we should not force conclusions, so as not to harm future generations.

But what does this have to do with Liu Mang's questions about the court?

Liu Mang has now gradually mastered the method of learning. If you don't understand, ask if you don't understand, if you don't understand, you have to think slowly, taste it repeatedly, and you will always understand.

Gradually, Liu Mang finally comprehended Zheng Xuan's experience in doing scholarship and dealing with the controversy of the imperial court, that is, the study of learning often has to face a lot of controversy, which is no different from the essence of the controversy of the imperial court.

The best way to deal with it is to "be knowledgeable, suspicious, and cautious", and in layman's terms, it is "listen more, say less, and be suspicious", that is, listen to other people's opinions more, respect others' different opinions, and be cautious in expressing your own opinions.

……

Soon, the nobles of Anyi accompanied the capital circle, and rumors began to spread. Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture, is befriending Liu Mang, the general of the guard. When others saw him, he ignored the answer, but often took the initiative to invite Liu Mang over.

One is a master who has studied the past and the present, and the other is a country scoundrel who has never read a book and is ridiculed by the aristocracy. No one believed that the two were sitting and talking together.

There were many people who talked about it, and it even spread to the little emperor Liu Xie. Liu Xie is young, but he has encountered many hardships and worries. Worried that the courtiers would oppose it, he no longer mentioned the matter of conquering Zheng Xuan.

In this way, Liu Mang and Zheng Xuan were fulfilled.

Zheng Xuan came to Anyi, which was a last resort. In this way, it is more in line with his heart, and he can be a scholar quietly.

For Liu Mang, Zheng Xuan is more like a banner, and whether he enters the court as an official has no substantive significance.

Liu Mang discussed with Zheng Xuan and decided to send Zheng Xuan to Pingyang. Donated to the house for him to write books and lectures, and to teach his studies.

Of course, Liu Mang will not forget and proposed to Zheng Xuan, hoping to let Du Ruhui come out and assist him.

Zheng Xuan and Liu Mang have become old friends. Liu Mang is extraordinary, it will be a big thing, Du Ruhui is Zheng Xuan's proud disciple, if he can follow Liu Mang, it will naturally be a blessing.

"Keming (Du Ru obscure) is very smart, has a city government, and is good at making decisions. However, after all, he is young and his tempering is still shallow. If you make a good appointment, you can be a supplement. ”

"Rest assured, teacher, I will neither be wronged by his talents, nor will I be rashly promoted, which will promote pride." Liu Mang has already made a calculation on how to use Du Ruhui. (To be continued.) )
