Chapter 214 No one in the world knows you
It changes with the times, and it is not informal.
This is the summary made by Sima Qian to Shusun Tong when he wrote the "Historical Records" in the later generations. Overall, that's a high rating.
In Liu Kan's previous life, he also hastily flipped through the book "Historical Records".
However, at that time, at a glance and ten lines, except for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who could make him interested, pay a little attention, most of the rest were swallowing dates, and he forgot about it after watching it. But Shusun Tong is a very interesting character that he remembers.
Later generations of Confucian scholars emphasized integrity and style!
On some issues of principle, we will never back down half a step. So much so that Liu Kan had a wrong concept for a long time: the so-called Confucianism should be a misguided scholar who is not smiling, old-fashioned and stubborn, does not know how to be flexible, and likes to sit and talk. If you die studying on weekdays, and when you die in danger, you will report to the king, even if you are full of integrity. Later, many Confucian scholars did not even have the courage to die.
But this is not the case with Shusun Tong......
This person, who studied under the ninth grandson of Confucius, Kong Kun, has worked for the First Emperor, Ying Huhai, Xiang Yu, Xiong Xin, Liu Bang and others, and can be regarded as a person who knows how to protect himself. If according to the values of later generations of Confucianism, Shusun Tong should be the kind of shameless person who has no integrity to talk about. Especially after Shusun Tong surrendered to the Han Dynasty, most of the people recommended for Liu Bang were thieves and wrestlers, which made many Confucian scholars dissatisfied with Shusun Tong, and some people even said in private that he was a shame for the world's scholars.
But this uncle and grandson Tong didn't care.
When the monarch is forging ahead and fighting for the world, what he needs is a warrior and a general who can win a battle; But the day is stable. If you want to keep the foundation, you need the help of the scribes and Confucian scholars. This is an answer from Shusun Tong to Liu Bang at that time.
Its meaning has a lot in common with the later proverb that you can take the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately.
Sima Qian even called Shusun Tong a Confucian sect of the Han family in the book "Historical Records". This is a sect word. Suffice it to illustrate one
Liu Kan didn't expect it. will meet this celebrity through the ages in this Luoyang City.
Hurriedly tidied up his clothes and saluted: "I never thought that I would meet Daxian here." Liu Kan was very lucky. Liu Kan is very lucky! ”
Liu Kan's sudden move. It was a surprise to everyone. Even including uncles and grandsons. I can't figure out why.
Don't look at Liu Kan's age. The fame is not small.
In the public sense. At the age of 20 years. It's already a big party. Although the official position of Governor of Surabaya was established temporarily. But no one can deny the right to land in Liu Kan's hands. Hold the power of the army. Oversee the administration of the two counties...... There are clever people who are more vaguely guessed. Under the authority of the Governor of Surabaya. I am afraid that there is also a very important responsibility hidden. That is to monitor the descendants of the six anti-Qin countries under the rule of the old Chu.
It is conceivable that at Liu Kandi's age, he will enter the phase at sunrise. It's also a matter of time or time, and the future is bright.
In addition, the news of the war in Northern Xinjiang two years ago also came to the Central Plains in pieces. In the bloody battle of Fuping, Liu Kan also made great contributions.
In private, Liu Kan and Cheng Miao know Cheng Gong's paper, which can be said to be famous all over the world.
On the other hand, Shusun Tong has passed the age of establishment, but he has been unknown and has no reputation. Since the year of the weak crown, he entered the Kong carp to study. More than ten years in the blink of an eye. Since the first emperor and Li Si discussed the burning of books, Kong Kun took his disciples and hid himself in Zhongyue Mountain (that is, Songshan Mountain).
But even so, Kong Kun's background still determined that it was impossible for him to escape the conquest of the imperial court.
After the edict arrived, Kong Kun thought twice and felt that he could not completely refuse the expedition. But he was asked to go to Xianyang. And not very reconciled. In the end, Kong Kun refused the imperial edict under the pretext of poor health. But at the same time, Shusun Tong was selected from among the disciples to go to Xianyang.
It can be seen from this point that Shusun Tong is not fond of Kong Kui.
There is a famous saying in "The Analects of Yan Yuan" that you should not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself. What Kong Kun himself was unwilling to do, but ordered his uncle and grandson to do it, was actually contrary to the teachings of his ancestors. So, before the uncle and grandson went out of the mountain. No one knew of his existence at all. Li You respects him. is also because of a conversation with Shusun Tong, I can see that this person's skills are outstanding.
can be fundamentally. The status gap between Shusun Tong and Liu Kan is indeed too big......
Liu Kan's respectful tone made Shusun Tong feel flattered.
hurriedly returned the salute: "Tong Yi is an unknown person, how can he afford such a big gift from the captain?" In addition to being a few years old, he really can't afford the word Daxian...... However, Tong has been studying with his teacher and has no reputation. I wonder where did the Captain hear about it? ”
Liu Kan was a little stammered!
Couldn't I tell my uncle and grandson: The reason why I have heard of your name is because you will go down in history in the future?
Seeing Liu Kan's expression, Shusun Tong couldn't help but sigh secretly: I thought that people really knew themselves, but it seemed just polite!
In fact, it's not just Shusun Tong who thinks like this.
Everyone, including Li You and Li Cheng, had the same idea.
Liu Kan was anxious and wise, and said: "Sir, don't think that Kan is the one who is clever and colorful. The most holy is the master of all ages, and Kan has always admired it.
It's a pity that Kan was born hundreds of years later and could not listen to the teachings of the saints, so he thought it was a pity.
The saint has many lives, but his bones remain the same.
I am also to others, who destroys whose reputation? If there is a reputation, it has a try. The reason why Simin has gone straight for three generations is also ......
Be like a Confucian saint! Therefore, since Kan entered the WTO, he has paid a lot of attention to the way of the saints...... Mr. Shusun studied under Mr. Kong, although his reputation is not obvious, but the name of the change has long been heard. Mr. is not the kind of person who reads dead books, and reads dead books. "The Book of Rites-University" also says: Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new. The sage also knew that the opportunity changed, but it is a pity that later generations took it out of context and understood it wrongly.
Kan thought that Mr. Kong's name was not as good as Mr. Kong and his famous people. However, he has obtained the true meaning of a saint, so he deserves the word "great sage". ”
Liu Kan's reason is not sufficient, but it is very popular with his uncle and grandson.
Li You was also very surprised, he didn't expect that this Liu Kan was actually a learned person, and he could even talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius.
The most holy in Liu Kan's mouth is the honorific title of Confucius in later generations.
Although in this era, Confucius also has the reputation of the holy place of the heavens, which can be compared to the title of the most holy. But it seems a little weak.
Shusun Tong couldn't help but be a little excited.
For a long time, he had a feeling of disambition under Kong Kun. Because he must have the power to speak, and his words are determined to change, he is very suppressed among Confucianism. Hole carp is also good. Or other great Confucians, they always like to talk about the ancient system, and they are often like to be ancient. Although he knew that Confucius also agreed with the words of change, deep down, he was always more resistant.
Hearing Liu Kan's words today, Shusun Tong couldn't help but feel like a confidant.
Holding Liu Kan's hands, Shusun Tong said in a low voice: "Those who know me." Captain also ...... Those who know me, all lieutenants! ”
Liu Kan said with a smile: "Zi said: Isn't it okay to learn and learn? Have friends come from afar? People don't know and don't be ashamed, don't think of a gentleman? Mr. Dacai, now it is just a pearl dark, and one day if the North Kunpeng can shake for nine thousand miles, why sigh for the embarrassment? Kan has a word for Mr.: Don't worry about the future without knowing yourself, who in the world doesn't know you? There will always be someone to appreciate the talent of a gentleman. ”
Uncle and grandson nodded again and again. only said: "The high hopes of the captain are remembered."
The two exchanged a few more words, and Li You couldn't help but interject: "Brother Liu, Mr. Uncle Sun, since the two of you are so compatible, why don't you become brothers?" With the great talent of Mr. Uncle Sun. With the bravery and fame of Brother Liu, I will definitely be able to achieve a good story in my Daqin in the future. ”
Liu Kan and Shusun Tong were stunned......
"Don't dare to ask for ears, but you can do what you want!" Liu Kan said: "I just don't know if Kan Yijie Wufu has the honor to become a brother with Mr. Uncle Sun?" ”
To talk about it, this sentence should be said by Shusun Tong.
But Liu Kan preemptively said it, which also made Shusun Tong have no reason to shirk, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, Tong will climb high!" ”
Present. Li You ordered someone to put on the incense case. Liu Kan and his uncle Tong became brothers.
Uncle and grandson Liu Kan is seventeen years old and is the elder brother. The two finished their prayers. After glancing at each other, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
With such a play, it also made the atmosphere in the living room soothe all of a sudden. The tension that had arisen earlier because of Feng Jing's sudden appearance disappeared. Everyone sat down one after another, pushing cups and changing lamps, so lively. During the banquet, Liu Kan suddenly spoke: "My brother was born in Qidi, and he should know more about the situation in Qidi." ”
"I don't know about it, but I know a little
Uncle Sun Tong looked calm, and after glancing at Liu Kan, he smiled indifferently: "Ah Kan is worried about the matter of Liang's father mountain?" ”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.
The eyes of Li You, Li Cheng, and Feng Jing gathered on Shusun Tong's body.
Liu Kan looked very casual, and after taking a sip of wine, "Brother, I just want to know, where do you think that proverb came from?" ”
The implication is to ask Uncle Sun Tong, some people say that it is the will of heaven, what do you think?
Shusun Tong said: "The way of heaven is far away, and the humanity is far away, and it is beyond the reach of ...... Heaven and man do not interfere with each other, and those of us who have not even figured out humanity have no qualifications, so what qualifications do we have to talk about heaven? Ah Kan, you asked me what I thought of this matter, and I only had one sentence: Zi Bu is silent, strange and confused! ”
Liu Kan suddenly smiled.
Although Shusun Tong did not answer positively, he had already answered Liu Kandi's question clearly.
There is no doubt that it is almost the same as what Liu Kan guessed: the incident of Liangfu Mountain is by no means providential, it is purely a man-made event.
After pondering for a while, Liu Kan said to Li You: "Li Junshou, Kan has a reluctant request, and I hope that the county guard will help." ”
Li You smiled, "Brother Liu wants to borrow someone, right?" ”
Although Li You is a person, his reputation in history is far less prominent than that of his father Li Si. But as a successful person in this era, Li You is by no means in vain. As soon as Liu Kan spoke, Li You guessed what he meant. In this regard, Liu Kan did not pretentiously.
He said: "Even if my brother goes to Xianyang now, I'm afraid he won't be reused for a while, and he wasted all his good talents."
Kan went to Jibei County this time, and there was indeed no one around.
The elder brother is familiar with the situation in Qidi and is very talented. It's better to go with me, so that he can show his strengths and have a good future in the future. It's just that on the Xianyang side, the county guard still needs to come forward to say one or two. This matter should be in the hands of the Prime Minister's Office, and I don't know ...... county guard."
Li You thought for a while and nodded slightly, "It's not difficult for the Prime Minister's Mansion to say anything, but I don't know what Mr. Uncle Sun thinks?" ”
Shusun Tong looked very happy, "Tong naturally has no opinion. Ah Kan went to Jibei County, how could I, as an elder brother, stand by and watch.
But ......"
Liu Kan's heart tightened: Could it be that he has other ideas?
Shusun Tong said: "This trip to Jibei County is related to all aspects, and the situation is extremely complicated. And there are many Confucians, and there are many well-educated people. Tong hopes to have another person seconded from the county guard...... I just don't know, can the county guard cut his love? ”
Li You was stunned, "Who does Mr. Uncle Sun want?" ”
"Wu Chen!" From the mouth of Uncle Sun Tong, an extremely unfamiliar name came out.
Liu Kan had never heard of this person, and couldn't help but glance at Li Cheng suspiciously, which meant to say: Do you know who Wu Chen is?
Li Cheng showed a look of confusion in his eyes.
Li You smiled, "It turns out that Mr. asked my junior brother to come forward...... Well, Senior Brother Wu is proficient in the study of criminal names, far better than you. If it weren't for the fact that he was not old enough to enter the office, his father would have transferred him back to Xianyang a long time ago. It doesn't matter if he stays with me, and it is not difficult for him to go to Jibei County with Brother Liu. Well, I agreed to it, but I still have one condition. ”
Liu Kan understood.
It turned out that this Wu Chen was actually a student of Li Si.
Presumably because of his age, he has not yet entered the ranks, so he stayed by Li You's side.
Liu Kan didn't understand what it had to do with bringing this Wu Chen, but he thought that Shusun Tong would not be untargeted, this person must be very capable.
At that moment, he said: "The county guard, please speak face to face." ”
"My little brother is a fellow villager with my father, and he is also my father's most valued student. He has an amazing memory and a knack for memorization. It's just a body and bones...... Brother Liu took him there, please take more care of him, don't get tired, please leave here! ”
I see!
Liu Kan hurriedly got up and agreed, and was grateful.
After leading everyone to sit down again, Li You's expression was solemn, and he applauded and motioned for his followers to clear the courtyard, "Several of you here will be involved in the matter of Liangfu Mountain." It is not concealed, you might as well tell the truth. The matter of Liangfu Mountain, as far as is known, seems to have been involved quite extensively.
Among them, I also have a general understanding of the meaning of Na Tian three points.
The most inscrutable thing is the proverb of Yan Zishengsheng. According to the proverb, only when this Qi Yanzi appears, will there be a situation of three points. The question is: Who is Qi Yanzi? Qi Tian is not worried, and this Yan Zi is the trouble of the henchmen. Now Jibei County is already panicked, and there is a tendency to continue to spread in a more directional way. The top priority of the lieutenant is to find this Yanzi. As long as you can hold Yanzi, the rest are not worried. This matter is imminent, and I hope that the captain will solve it as soon as possible. ”
