Chapter 43: Empty talk misleads the country

After the children of the family finished the medicine collectively, they started the most exciting scene of the banquet, and several exhibitionists actually played performance art in front of everyone.

Wei Shuo was dumbfounded, Nima was openly naked in public! If you live in modern times, you will definitely grab the headlines! The celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties are really wonderful! usually uses some absurd behaviors to show that they are different from ordinary people.

In addition to deliberately violating ethics and morals in their behavior, the most common game played by the celebrities of the family during the party is to say something mysterious and mysterious, and it is also beautifully called: talking about the Tao, to put it bluntly, is a few people getting together to say something boring and no one understands.

After the performance art, the celebrities of the family on Micro Island finally reined in their frenzy and got together to start talking. Especially Cao Hong, who had just greeted Wei Shuo, talked even more vigorously, causing bursts of warm cheers from everyone present from time to time.

What's even more ridiculous is that Cao Hong even looked at Wei Shuo provocatively from time to time, but he didn't know that Wei Shuo didn't look down on them at all. Wei and Jin metaphysics may be important in the eyes of families and celebrities, but it is worthless in the eyes of Wei Shuo. Besides, he didn't want to follow Sima Rui in the future, so there was no need to look up to the intellectuals at this time - advocating metaphysics.

Advocating metaphysics is the stepping stone for the elites of the Wei and Jin families to enter the officialdom, in this era, there are many Confucian people who have to abandon Confucianism in order to be officials, such as Xie An's uncle - Xie Kun, it is he who resolutely abandoned Confucianism and threw himself into the embrace of metaphysics, which created the top wealthy family in Wuyi Lane in the future - the Xie family.

It's a pity that metaphysics has no use for Wei Shuo, and it is not as important as Confucianism, at least Confucianism is still useful in stabilizing people's hearts and cultivating oneself, and at this time, metaphysics has long deviated from Lao Zhuang's original intention and has completely degenerated.

The elites of the family who believed in metaphysics in the Wei and Jin dynasties believed that reality was vulgar and vulgar, and that those who cared about reality were also inferior races and laymen, and that only a piece of nothingness was the real reality.

To put it in layman's terms: houses, tickets, and children are all passing clouds, and only a few people sit together every day to chat and fart, which is an elegant and serious matter.

According to the most fashionable saying at this time: if someone chats with you for a day, and both parties are stunned and do not understand what the other party says, then such a person must be a first-class talent, and the conversation between the two sides is the most high-grade conversation.

To put it bluntly, the clans of the family pretended to talk elegantly for a long time, but in fact, to put it crudely, it was day after day, year after year, endless, the sea was dry and the sky was full of rocks, and there was no serious stuff at all.

And this kind of mouth full of sea and sky was also regarded as a daily necessity by the famous people of the family at that time, and it was also used a very elegant name, called "Qing Tan".

As a result, those who are military generals are ashamed to talk about military affairs, those who are civil officials are ashamed to talk about politics, and those who are judges are ashamed to talk about adjudicating cases. In short, you can't shout at what you do, otherwise you will be vulgar, and others will look down on you.

The Western Jin Dynasty fell into the quagmire of perversion and elegance, and never pulled it out, so that it almost perished the country.

Wei Shuo was dizzy and listened to it for most of the day, he didn't understand what the others were saying, it felt like he was listening to a lullaby, and after a while, he fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, Wei Shuo, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up.

"Hey, wake up, wake up, I didn't expect someone to fall asleep at such an important banquet."

"Hee-hee, sister, you see he's drooling."

"It's so funny, someone dares to fall asleep when Cao Langjun is talking about metaphysics, it's really embarrassing."

"Look, you see, Cao Langjun is here, and he seems to be quite angry."

"Hahaha, there's a good show to watch now."

It's really not a big deal to see the excitement, except for Pei Ying'er who was secretly worried about Wei Shuo, the others looked at him without misfortune, expecting Cao Hong to teach Wei Shuo a good lesson.

Wei Shuo rubbed his eyes and yawned, and when he raised his eyes, he found that the others were staring at him with a smile, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicable, and muttered to himself: Could it be that the Wusha Conference, oh no, is the boring conference over?

"Wei Langjun, sleep sweetly?"

A light voice sounded in his ears, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Cao Hong, who had just made an unpleasant scene. Seeing that he was staring at Wei Shuo with anger in his eyes, Cao Hong was very dissatisfied with this guy who ruined his interest in talking for no reason.

"Fair! It would be nice to have a bed though. ”

"On such occasions, Wei Langjun can still sleep soundly, presumably we can't talk about it in Wei Langjun's ears. Now that Wei Langjun is resting, he is interested in expressing some high opinions, and let me wait to listen to one or two. Cao Hong said with disdain on his face, he didn't believe that Wei Shuo would have any high opinions, and just wanted him to make a fool of himself in public.

Wei Shuo was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly: What?! Boy, you're not mistaken, are you? Let me talk about metaphysics? Then you might as well let me tell you about Marxism-Leninism in college. He rolled his eyes, glanced at Cao Hong and said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand metaphysics, so I didn't understand what you said just now." ”

Forehead?! Listening to Wei Shuo's words, everyone in the audience was suddenly petrified, and no one expected Wei Shuo to admit in public that he didn't understand metaphysics, which was tantamount to blocking his way into officialdom.

Cao Hong was also stunned for a while, and he didn't react for a long time, and it took a while before he frowned and asked, "Wei Langjun, what do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Shuo spread his hands and said, "I mean that I didn't understand what you were talking about just now!" ”

It's not that Wei Shuo deliberately entertained everyone, but he really didn't understand. Talking about Xuan is also a technical job, and ordinary people really can't play it.

Now everyone knows what Wei Shuo means, it turns out that people who fell asleep did not deliberately despise everyone, but completely ignored them, because people didn't understand what you were saying at all. Even Pei Ying'er couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, Wei Langjun was too bold to dare to openly despise metaphysics

Since he said it, Wei Shuo also let go of his courage, he stood up and talked eloquently, "Actually, if it is a peaceful and prosperous world, it is good for everyone to sit together and talk about the mystery and the Tao." But what is the world now? The world is in turmoil, foreign invasions, and the country and the nation are facing life and death, and you are still interested in talking about the mysteries here. ”

"Hehe, it's funny! I think if the Hu people knew about it, they would definitely look down on us from the bottom of their hearts, because they knew that the elites of the Jin Dynasty were a bunch of idle waste, and they were no longer hot-blooded men like the Han Dynasty. The Hu people have lost their awe for us, and now that they have such news, they must not be even more bold to wreak havoc on the Central Plains. ”

"By the way, Cao Langjun, you also talked about metaphysics for a long time just now, so please tell me, in the face of the threat of the Hu people who are close at hand, do you have any good suggestions? Or what wise sayings have you learned from metaphysics that can help the people of Xuzhou avoid the impending disaster? ”

"This, this, this is a question that Lord Thorn Shi should consider? What do you care about me? ”

"Shhhh Aren't you all gathered here today to talk about the mystical Tao just so that you can step into the officialdom as soon as possible? I don't understand, since metaphysics can't solve practical problems, why don't you study other knowledge, but still cling to it? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, you can talk about whatever you like. Anyway, I'm not interested in metaphysics, so let's just talk freely and ignore it. ”

was stirred up by Wei Shuo like this, and everyone's faces were a little sneering, and even Cao Hong forgot to continue to find trouble with Wei Shuo. In fact, what Wei Shuo said today suddenly reached the hearts of some people, in fact, it is not that no one realizes the harmfulness of metaphysics and Qing talk, but no one dares to question it openly under the clouds.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the others slowly dispersed, only Pei Ying'er stepped forward and looked Wei Shuo up and down, left and right.

"What are you doing, Miss Pei, looking at aliens?" Wei Shuo said angrily.

Pei Ying'er said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be able to say it, even Cao Hong refuted it." ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, what do you mean for me to refute? Obviously, he was defeated by reality, and he has nothing to do with me, if he collapses in the future, he wants to die or live, don't rely on me. ”

"Don't worry, Cao Langjun won't be so unbearable, but I think he has suffered a lot of blows this time. However, if you think about what you just said, it makes sense! Wei Shuo, I really can't understand you more and more, who are you? Where did you learn from? Why haven't I heard of you before? ”
