Chapter 8 On Antiquity

Chapter 8 on the Ancients

After talking about it for a long time, a jar of five catties of rice wine went down almost halfway, but the dishes basically didn't move, fortunately, they were all cold dishes. Although this Wu Jiangdong does not look very reliable, after all, it used to be the head snake here, and he is also very familiar with the dishes here......

After five flavors of food, three rounds of wine and people with a slight drunkenness, the box was opened.

"This Hanzhong is a treasure of feng shui...... "This is Wu Jiangdong."

"What do you mean by that?" The eldest grandson is also more concerned about these things, in his previous life, he wanted to travel around the world, but at most he swam hundreds of times in the small river in front of his house.

"This is Liu Bang's Longxing place, and it is here that Liu Bang finally completed his great cause." Although we did not call ourselves Han Chinese at this time, a dynasty that lasted for 400 years of unification still had a high status in the eyes of the Tang people. At that time, the fiefs of many people with great merit were in Hanzhong.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was Zhang Lubu Wudou Mijiao, and then Liu Bei was called the king of Hanzhong, intending to follow the example of his ancestors and establish the Liu dynasty from the new. It can be said that Hanzhong was important to the Han Dynasty. Wu Jiangdong said to himself, he can understand the importance of Liuhou Zhang Liang to the Han Empire, but he can't understand the importance of Bowang Hou Zhang Qian and Longting Hou Cai Lun, this is not another problem, this is a matter of historical limitations, just think that no one in the Spring and Autumn Period can know the importance of Confucius in later generations is a truth.

"Liu Bang has Zhang Xiao, Liu Bei has Zhuge , but what am I?" When the literati drink a little too much, especially the literati who claim to be talented, this complaint is naturally inevitable. Of course, these are all drunken words, and they can't be taken seriously.

"My ancestors, but also Jiangdong's big family, just a side of the family, my father because of the lack of ambition in the clan, so he went to Hanzhong to be a county Cheng, my father hoped that I could return to my hometown, so I named Jiangdong, but I look like this, I can't even make a living." The eldest grandson was just a quiet listener, but Wu Jiangdong was already in tears. At any time, home is not only a house, but also a spiritual sustenance and a belief for all wanderers!

"Jiangdong is a good place, so far I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong." The eldest grandson subconsciously blurted out, but he didn't know the lethality of this sentence, because he could hear the sound thousands of miles away, he became a fairy, but he didn't know that now everyone has a mobile phone, and everyone is clairvoyant and shunfeng ear.

"So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong." Wu Jiangdong's eyes lit up, and he muttered and repeated. "But there is still Shanglian? This sentence is very imposing. ”

The eldest grandson is depressed, I just say it casually, usually there are many sentences like this, who knows if I accidentally brought it out of my mouth, this needs to be paid attention to in the future, of course, this mentality is like a time when I accidentally didn't pay and took something out of the supermarket, there is always a feeling of apprehension, and every time I have not been discovered, I will get used to it. Of course, this requires a process, and the current eldest grandson's skin is not so thick, and it is still reddish, but there is nothing abnormal about his face that has been tanned by the sun in the recent days.

"Life should be a hero, and death should be a ghost; So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. The eldest grandson thought about it slightly, and still chanted the full text of Li Qingzhao's "Summer Quatrain".

"Good poem, one sentence exhausts Xiang Yu's state of mind, and he has no face to return to his hometown." Perhaps this sentence evoked Wu Jiangdong's homesickness.

"Yes, Xiang Yu can be regarded as a hero, but he is not a hero."

"Childe means that heroes are more commendable than heroes?"

"It's not that heroes are not praiseworthy, heroes are precisely the most praiseworthy, but generally they can't have the last laugh." The eldest grandson recalled that Yue Fei, Yu Qian and other big people who turned the tide in the rain and danger generally did not end well, but Cao Cao, Liu Bang, and Zhu Yuanzhang won the final victory.

"What do you mean by that?"

"The biggest difference between heroes and heroes is that heroes pay attention to the process, while heroes only look at the results, for heroes, the process is not important, how to obtain a better result by unscrupulous means is the most important. So the hero went to the altar and accepted our sacrifice, while the hero held the final fruit. We need heroes, and we need heroes! The eldest grandson's remarks made Wu Jiangdong's wine much sober.

"It makes sense, we are always appreciating Xiang Yu and belittling Liu Bang, but we don't know that Xiang Yu's Dachu has become the climate, maybe it is still a chaotic world now." In a word, it can be seen that Wu Jiangdong's ability to accept new thinking is still good, and his comprehension ability is also good. "Xiang Yu, who advocates violence, is like a hammer, when he meets everything, he hammers down, but when he meets Liu Bang, who is unscrupulous, he feels powerful and has nowhere to go, and failure is inevitable."

"Yes, if Xiang Yu's hammer becomes the emperor, it is estimated that it will not be long before the world will fall into division again." The eldest grandson's heart was also up and down at this time, he was thinking, what about me? What can I do for this coming boom? History is a river that cannot be stepped into twice, and if you accidentally step into this river for the second time, where will you go in the future?

"Don't talk about this feather, it's a little depressing, we know a lot of things are right, but we still regret it." Wu Jiangdong made another bowl, and the wine that had just been suppressed came up again, and Wang Tiedan's face on the side was as usual, but a jar of wine was almost drunk by the three of them.

The eldest grandson asked Xiao Er to send Wu Jiangdong to his room to rest, and took Wang Tiedan, who was a little speechless, out of the door of the inn.

When I came to the street, the bluestone paved streets were washed by the heavy rain, and the rain didn't know what stopped, but the weather at the beginning of summer was so unpredictable, and the pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

The eldest grandson walked down this street with his hands behind his back, the street was not long, and at a glance he could see the city wall standing not far away. The eldest grandson walked aimlessly like this, and all the years in his mind came one after another, let's be a hero like Yue Fei, and the end was a little tragic; Sigh like Qu Yuan, a little grieved; Be as heroic as Xiang Yu, hang up first......

This era can be said to be the best era in ancient China, but even so, the average life expectancy in this era is only about 30 years old, like the old farmer I met in Baogukou yesterday is about 60 years old at first glance, but at best only 40 years old, the extreme lack of material has created all this.

In our image, the Tang Dynasty will be preceded by the word "Sheng" and called it the Tang Dynasty, but even the population of the most prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty is not as high as the Kaihuang and the early years of the Great Cause, and the population is one of the most important national forces in ancient times.

Perhaps, my arrival can make this era a little different, and the eldest grandson secretly made up his mind.

At this time, a gust of wind blew away the heavy clouds, the sun shone on the banana leaves not far away, and a drop of water refracted the light into Wang Tiedan's eyes......

A rainbow appears in the clear blue sky, and there will be a rainbow after the storm, isn't it?
