At this moment, the discussion on the stage officially began, one side Liu Yan took the lead in making a speech, Liu Yan's voice was very low, and said, "There is no distinction between people and things in the world, all are born with a way, which cannot be surpassed, and the same is true for governing the country. Therefore, the royal road is immutable. ”

After that, there was some applause from the audience, and the opposite side stood up and thought, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Zhengchang's words seem to make a little sense, but they are really wrong. Since Pangu opened the world, after hundreds of dynasties, how many Ming monarchs and holy lords, who have ever seen the same national policy, far away from it, just say that the founding lords of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu can be called Ming masters, and the royal road they follow can be the same. Therefore, governing the country is like flowing water, and it must change with the changing situation. ”

As soon as this remark came out, some people nodded in agreement. Yun Meng asked the person just now for advice, and learned that this person was a member of the Xie family named Xie Shang, and he had some insight into metaphysics. The two sides are fighting like this, and you come and I are arguing.

"Huh! Weird? I don't know who next to me sighed.

Hearing someone ask, "Why is Brother Tai so emotional?" ”

The man replied: "Brother Xian, I don't know if you have noticed it, why has Yin Haoyuan, who has been talking about it for a long time, and arguing with reason, not speaking out so far?" ”

"yes, I don't know what's going on," the crowd whispered. Yun Meng also noticed this Yin Haoyuan at this time, this person has a face like a crown of jade, with Zhou Zheng facial features, short hair, and a strong figure, but he looks like a person who practices martial arts. At this time, Yin Yuan was closing his eyes slightly, shaking his tail with his hand, listening to the arguments of everyone on the stage, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned from time to time.

In the end, even the middle judge had doubts, so he announced that the discussion would stop for the time being, and bowed his hand to Yin Yuan: "Why hasn't Brother Haoyuan seen you make a high statement for a long time? Do you have a different insight? The people who went there today are all elegant people, and Brother Haoyuan has any high opinions, please give me advice. ”

Everyone also echoed, Yin Yuan opened his eyes at this time, put down the tail in his hand, and smiled: "Your views are all reasonable, and there are fallacies, Yin really dare not agree, if you say that change and change only need to overlap the two sides of the truth, take the commonalities, you can conclude that in the end, no one wins and no one loses in today's debate." ”

"Well said!" Yun Meng couldn't help but shout when he heard it. Everyone looked in the direction of Yun Meng, and naturally there was Yin Yuan among them. In the end, the controversy ended hastily.

Yun Meng sighed that although today's discussion is a bit anticlimactic, he still gained a lot for himself, opened his eyes, and gained insight. He was preparing to return to his residence with the flow of people. At this time, a little boy stopped Yun Meng, and the little boy gave Yun Meng a deep salute and said, "Childe stays, my master wants to invite Childe to drink tea, please Childe move." ”

Yun Meng asked: "I have no relatives and no reason in Jiankang, I don't know the name of your master, what do you ask me for?" ”

Xiao Tong said again: "My master's surname is Yin Mingyuan, and the words are far away, why do you invite the son and the villain but I don't know, and I also ask the son to appreciate the light." When Yun Meng heard that Yin Yuan invited him to drink tea, he was also very surprised, and hurriedly agreed, followed Xiao Tong, and sat in a teahouse on the side of the road.

Xiao Tong led Yun Meng's master and servant to the second floor of the teahouse, a table in the southeast corner of the teahouse, Yin Yuan had arrived, seeing Yun Meng, Yin Yuan got up and arched his hand and said: "Childe, Yin Yuan is polite, please come to talk about it suddenly, please don't be surprised." ”

Yun Meng also hurriedly returned the salute: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, it is a blessing to see him today, and I can't ask for it." The two sat down, exchanged names and ages, and the small stove on the side was frying tea, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing at this time.

Yun Meng couldn't help but say, "Good tea! ”

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "Childe is also good at tea, can you talk about the tea scripture?" ”

Yun Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can a person from the mountains and fields get an axe in front of Mr. ”

Yin Yuan said: "It's okay, you and I are just for idle talk, what's wrong with talking." ”

Yun Meng said: "In this case, let's talk about my humble opinion below." About this tea, Lu Ji's "Mao Poems, Plants, Trees, Birds, Beasts, and Fish" has a description of its characteristics, saying that it grows in mountain fields or swamps, and tastes sweet and crisp after frosting, with a bitter and astringent taste. Romance of the Three Kingdoms? It is recorded in the Biography of Wei Yao that Sun Hao, the emperor of Wu State, led his ministers to drink, and stipulated that those who went to the banquet had to drink at least seven liters, but Wei Yao's wine was too strong and could only drink two liters. It can be seen that during the Three Kingdoms period, tea drinking was very popular. "Guangya" records the preparation method of cake tea: Jingba picks leaves to make cakes, and the old man leaves make cakes, and rice paste is used to make them. There is also a description in the "Erya Note", saying: The tree is as small as a gardenia, born in winter, and the leaves can be boiled for soup and drink. To the present dynasty tea and Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism, with tea health, tea to help practice. When it comes to drinking tea, it is also very exquisite, including the procedures and skills of tea selection, preparation, water selection, fire, soup, and tea learning. Choose water: "Water is the note of Minfang, and the clear stream of the Minjiang River" is selected, and the clear water in the Minjiang River is selected; Selection: "Pottery is selected from EAST", and the tea set is made of porcelain from EAST; Sencha: "The foam sinks and floats, the glow is like snow, and it is like spring." "The decoction of the tea soup is as bright as snow and as brilliant as spring flowers; Drink tea: "Drink it to take it, take the style of Gong Liu." "Divide the tea soup with a scoop. After some effort, the tea color is emerald green, the aroma is rich, the fragrance is rich, the taste is more mellow and refreshing, and even the soul feels refreshed after tasting a bite. ”

"It's a good one who even feels refreshed in his soul, Yun Gongzi is really a learned person, I am not mistaken, admire, admire. Childe, you see that you and I am very speculative, how many years older than you, and I will be called a brother in the future, how can I be a good brother? Yin Yuan said with a smile.

Yun Meng hurriedly got up and said to Yin Yuan again: "Thank you brother for your love, the younger brother is flattered." ”

Yin Yuan also got up and grabbed Yun Meng with both hands, "Okay, okay, it's really a pleasure today, Jing Luo, please take a seat." The two sat down again.

After tasting two cups of tea, Yun Meng asked, "Brother Yin, the younger brother has something unknown, how did the elder brother know about Yun Meng?" ”

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "As a brother, he is not an immortal, how can he know the virtuous brother." It's just that the foolish brother on the right talent talks about the road, and there is no response in the hall, only the virtuous brother Chunlei roared, and the brother noticed that there was another bosom friend! ”

Yun Meng also smiled: "I see, what my brother said at that time coincided with what my younger brother thought, so I felt this emotion, but it made my brother laugh." ”

Yin Yuan said again: "This is a bad word, the virtuous brother is just a feeling, this is a true temperament." However, the foolish brother invited the virtuous brother to come this time, not only to get to know the virtuous brother, but also to listen to the virtuous brother's opinions. ”

Yun Meng said: "My brother is too humble, my brother's talent is like Haoyue, how dare the younger brother reach it, the younger brother just read a few books of sages and realized some truths, how can he ascend to the hall of elegance." ”

Yin Yuan said: "Where is the virtuous brother, since you and I are now brothers, we don't have to follow these red tapes, and we can say anything about it." ”

Yun Meng saw that Yin Yuan was so frank and straightforward, so he said: "Since the elder brother wants to listen, the younger brother will be ugly." On the theory of change and unchanged, and the way of governing the country is actually closely related, aside from the proposition, the younger brother thinks that governing the country is like curing a disease, not a headache to cure the head, foot pain to cure the feet, must be from the surface and the inside, from this and the other, to remove the false and retain the truth, in order to find the root of the disease, in order to prescribe the right medicine. An army and a country are like a building, each part is important and has its own role, but if it cannot be effectively combined and actively mobilized, it will be scattered. As for the royal road should not be immutable, Yun Meng very much agrees with the theory of change and immutability in the "Fan Lu", the lord of the Holy Ming often wants to imitate the law of the Ming monarch of the previous dynasty and implement the political state for the unchanged, but this is conditional, the way does not change if the sky does not change, the holy king follows the troubled times, then 'sweep away its traces and go away', in connection with the present, the primary task should be to Taoguang and nourish the obscurity, strengthen the national strength, and then restore the mountains and rivers, unify the country, and then you can follow the ancient way of the holy lord to govern the country, in order to seek long-term peace and stability. ”

When Yun Meng expressed his opinion, Yin Yuan couldn't help nodding, and when Yun Meng finished speaking, Yin Yuan got up again, and excitedly grabbed Yun Meng and said, "Brother Xian, Brother Xian, you are really a brother's bosom friend." But the virtuous brother is indeed higher than the foolish brother, and the high is the higher in the virtuous brother who sees farther than the brother, and it is the way to govern the country. ”

Yun Meng arched his hand and said: The elder brother's false praise really makes the younger brother ashamed, in fact, many of the elder brother's opinions are not good strategies for strengthening the country and enriching the people? But the younger brother didn't understand, with the prestige of his brother, why didn't he offer advice to the current court? ”

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Xian doesn't know, my brother is used to staying out of the world, and it is natural to do nothing and go with the flow, rather than worrying about it and talking about it." ”

Yun Meng said: "Brother's words, forgive the younger brother for not agreeing, the elder brother can know that empty talk is misleading the country." ”

Yin Yuan smiled bitterly: "It's such an empty talk that misleads the country, the virtuous brother doesn't know that the current court is under the control of the Wang and Xie families, otherwise what can it be, who can find another way?" Let's not talk about these disappointing topics, let's have tea. ”

The two talked about some topics related to ancient Chinese rhetoric, and when they saw that it was not early, Yun Meng got up to say goodbye, left each other's addresses, and said goodbye to each other.

Back at the residence, Yun Meng even admired this Yin Haoyuan's knowledge, talent and personality, but he was a little puzzled by his negative attitude towards avoiding the world, and after thinking about what he encountered today, his heart was surging, and he also understood a truth: if you want to change the current decline of the country, you must completely change the current style of advocating clean talk, from the monarch to the common people, you must be pragmatic and focus on revitalizing the national strength, otherwise the foreign enemy will come again, where can you be safe. ”

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Yun Meng and Qing Yao's master and servant had just finished breakfast, Yun Meng was about to study, when he heard someone knocking on the door, Qing Yao hurriedly opened the door, Yun Meng heard someone ask Qing Yao: "Is your son here?" "Listening to the voice, it was Yin Yuan.

Yun Meng hurriedly put down the book, walked out quickly, and saw Yin Yuan bowing and saluting: "Brother Yin came to the cold house, and he missed the welcome." ”

Yin Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Xian doesn't need to be polite, but he is reckless for his brother, and he has come to disturb Brother Xian this morning." Brother Ke is such a character, it is rare to meet such a bosom friend as a virtuous brother, and he has never slept well all night, is it not the will of God that you and my brother can meet. There is a saying for the brother, if you are depressed in your chest and don't vomit unpleasantly, the virtuous brother is willing to marry Jin Lan with the brother and be a brother with a different surname. ”

Don't look at this Yin Yuan is not interested in joining the office, and has a negative reaction, but he is very casual about meeting friends as if he has changed people. Yun Meng said with a smile: "How do you feel about the younger brother at this time, my brother is not yesterday's brother, but like a chivalrous person in the rivers and lakes." ”

Yin Yuan also felt that he was a little out of shape, and smiled embarrassedly: "I made Brother Xian laugh again." ”

Yun Meng grabbed Yin Yuan's arm and said, "Why are you talking about jokes?" The meaning of the brother, the younger brother has already had it, but he doesn't have the courage of the elder brother. It is a blessing for the younger brother to get to know someone like his brother. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about you and my brother Qitian swear to be brothers at this moment? ”

Yin Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, just today." ”

Yun Meng ordered Qingyao to go to the courtyard to prepare the incense case, and the two swore to the sky that they would not seek to live together, but to die together, become brothers, and never rebel against each other. Naturally, Yin Yuan is the brother and Yun Meng is the brother.

Brother Libi was very excited, Yin Yuan grabbed Yun Meng and said: "Jingluo, my brother has not admired anyone for so many years, but you are the first person. Today, you and I are brothers, and we must be brothers to be remarkable. As he spoke, he took out two books from his wide sleeves and handed them to Yun Mengdao: "Brother Wei feels that Brother Xian is an elegant person, and those gold and silver things are too vulgar, so I found these two books as a gift from my brother to Brother Xian, and Brother Xian will see if I like it or not." ”

Yun Meng took the book with both hands while thanking him, and when he saw that it was Pei Yi's "Chongyou Theory" and "Argument on Talent", he said: "Brother, this gift is too valuable, right?" The younger brother of this "Theory of Chongyou" has heard of it for a long time, and it is indeed very insightful to refute it. But isn't this "Argument on Talent" a legend that Pei Yu suffered misfortune before he finished it? How could my brother get this book? ”

Yin Yuan said: "Pei Yuan is talented, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time and was plotted by thieves. It is said that this "Argument on Talent" is said to have only been compiled by later generations according to Pei's manuscript, and it is only circulated in secret among the people, and few people know about it. Although Pei Wei belongs to the 'sound of the beginning', and the brother also knows that the virtuous brother is not yet clear, but his articles are novel and unique, and the criticism is spicy, and there are some similarities with the views of the virtuous brother, and the virtuous brother is not impossible to learn from one or two. If you want to say that the gift is expensive, you can't talk about it, as long as the virtuous brother likes it. ”

Yun Meng hurriedly said: "Of course the little brother likes it, I can't wait to study it carefully, and the little brother doesn't know how to express his gratitude." ”

Yin Yuan laughed when he heard this: "It's good if the virtuous brother likes it, and there is no need to thank him, can you not go to study today, accompany your brother for a day, go to the Qinhuai River for a day, travel to the Qinhuai River, eat some wine, and let my brother do his best to be a landlord, how about it?" ”

Yun Meng also smiled: "The elder brother speaks, and the younger brother dares to refuse, and he obeys the order." The two laughed, and even Qing Yao on the side laughed. So the three of them went out together, which caused a storm.
