Chapter 19: A Long Conversation (I)

(I'm happy to write today, three chapters are presented, please smile~)

Xie Lingyun sat in the private room, staring blankly at the tea leaves that gradually unfolded after being brewed with boiling water in the teacup, he was used to drinking tea before, and he had a natural curiosity about the new variety placed in front of him, and after studying it for a long time, he still felt a little foggy, looking at Xie Ju who was lying on the desk opposite and muttering, it was really funny that this guy was a little reckless.

Pick up the cup, take a sip, um~~~ The first entrance, slightly astringent, swallowed the throat, suddenly felt the fragrance of lips and teeth, the green tea floating tea gradually sank, in the taste of a mouthful, um~~ good, good, really good tea!!

He was about to pour a bowl of wine to taste while drinking, when Xie Yu pushed open the door and walked in and said, "Don't drink Lingyun!" ”

Xie Lingyun shook his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, although this wine is strong, just taste it, uncle doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Xie Yu saw that this nephew had guessed his thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will say that I will bring you badly!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, look at the clan, there are a lot of people who drink a lot of wine in their teens, cough ~ cough ~ Ha, whew, good strong wine." Choking on his throat, he couldn't stop waving his hand and fanning the wind, snorting and tearing.

"Haha, now I know it's amazing."

Xie Lingyun coughed a few times, and finally stopped crying and laughing and said, "It's a waste of such a good wine, let me drink it to my nose." ”

Xie Yu really liked this nephew more and more, thinking of this great traveler, poet, and genius recorded in the history books of later generations, he was now sitting in front of him and said funny words for some wine: "Lingyun said in the hall that day that he wanted to travel all over the world, do you know how big this world is?" ”

Lingyun picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and thought about it: "It must be very big, you see, we are in the current dynasty, there are rich eight counties in the south, thousands of miles in the east, Qin, Wei, Yan and so on in the north!" After saying that, he smiled a little smugly.

Xie Yu knew what he was laughing at, he was so big in this life, he hadn't even gone out of Jiankang City, and he actually asked this nephew how big the world was.

"Lingyun, these places you know are very small." Xie Yu said, dipped some tea and drew a circle on the table, and then pointed out a piece the size of an egg in the middle and said.

Xie Lingyun got up and came over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle, it's not that the little nephew laughs at you, my mother said that you haven't even gone out of Jiankang City, and you actually painted such a big piece of land so small."

Xie Yu is not afraid of anything shocking, at most it will be known, it is just a drunken joke, erase the round picture, roughly draw a map of China: "You see, we belong to Yangzhou here, this is Jiangzhou, a little above is Yuzhou, this is Jingzhou, and Ningzhou, Guangzhou, Jiaozhou!" ”

Xie Lingyun laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and said: "Uncle, this is all in the "Yugong Territory Map", I didn't expect you to be really knowledgeable." ”

Xie Yu ignored it, drew a small circle under Jiaozhou and said: "This is Zhuya Prefecture (Hainan Island), look, here, this is Yizhou (Taiwan) in Jiangzhou!" ”

Xie Lingyun saw that the other party ignored him, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he looked slowly.

"To the north is the Qin State, the Wei State, on the right there is the Yan State, they are divided into two parts, each has its own Shengshang, for the time being called the Later Yan State and the Southern Yan State, on the right is Goguryeo, below is Silla, Baekje, there is a small country in the middle, not as big as our Yangzhou, in the east is the sea, there is a big island in the sea, there are several countries represented by Kyushu."

"Okay, in the north of the Wei Kingdom, the Rouran tribe, the Gaoche tribe, the Khitan people, etc., etc., in the north, there will be no people there."

Xie Lingyun was fascinated and couldn't help asking, "Why can't you live there?" ”

"It's so cold that people will freeze to death if they don't stay outside for a few hours." Xie Yu said with a smile, and drew to the west: "There is the Liang Kingdom here, divided into four small countries to fight each other, the southwest is Tangur, the south is a lot of small tribes, and then to the west is Qiuzi and other kingdoms, and then Wusun, Sasan, look, here, the Eastern Roman Empire, the Western Roman Empire, these two countries are as powerful as the Han Dynasty of our Han people, their emperor is called Theodosius, just died a few years ago, he divided his country into two and gave it to his son. ”

"Finally, below this Zhuya Prefecture is the Funan Kingdom, here, here, there are many tribes. (Painted in Malaysia and Australia)

"Uncle, are you coaxing your nephew to play? What is it about you that you haven't painted? Xie Lingyun asked with a grin, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"It's all water!"

Xie Lingyun laughed, he felt that this uncle was very interesting, when he first started painting, he thought he was erudite, but he didn't know that after painting for most of the day, it was such a small piece in the dynasty, and, moreover, hahaha, so many places are full of water, fun, really fun.

After laughing for a long time, he saw that this uncle didn't laugh with him, so he stopped and said, "I'm fifteen years old, please don't play like this in the future!" ”

Xie Yu knew that Xie Lingyun would not believe it, and he deserved to give a geography lesson to the nephew of this great traveler, and said with a serious face: "When you grow up in the future, you will believe it." ”

Xie Lingchuan sat down on the soft couch to drink tea, wiped his tears and said: "If there are really these places, then our Great Jin Dynasty is really small, hehe, and there are so many places with water, if it rains heavily, wouldn't it flood these countries, hahahahaha~~"

Xie Yu saw this nephew laughing again, waved his hand and said: "You just think your uncle told you a joke, let me ask you, the talent in the clan is so withered, the entire Xie Mansion is now supported by your uncle, you want to go out to travel, this is good, but when you go to one place, and think about the next place, when you return, maybe you will be old." ”

Xie Lingyun saw that he had changed the topic and talked about this, and said a little unpleasantly: "Did my mother persuade you to persuade me again!" ”

"I don't have that idle mood, the Wang family scribes are outstanding, the calligraphy and painting attainments are second to none, our Confucian generals are the best, leading the troops to fight their own hands, Wang Xie and the two families are not separated, and the relationship between them has been married to the point where it is not clear that the five suits (five generations), the text is not with Wang Bi, will not be with Xie Bi, this is a joke circulating outside."

"Of course, our family has countless relatives who are officials in the court, but the accumulated titles and official positions are still not comparable to the Wang family, in the same way, the Wang family has produced so many big officials, and there are indeed few Confucian generals, all of them are based on Confucianism, and they are respected as Confucian saints, but what is the use of this? Are the people rich? Is the world at peace? ”

"No, Confucianism can govern the country, but it can also be ruined in a flash, isn't that the truth?"

Xie Lingyun was a little puzzled and didn't know why he said these words, but these disobedient words came out of his uncle's mouth, and he was still a little surprised: "Wang Xie and the two clans have established a foundation in the south for a hundred years, and they are all rooted in Confucianism. ”

"Grandfather (Xie An) led an army of 80,000 to defeat tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin State, and there will be no glory of our Xie family, these are all passed down from generation to generation with the classics taught by the oral ears of Sage Confucius, why did my uncle say such disrespectful words!"

Xie Yu saw that Xie Lingyun was a little excited, and said happily instead of angry: "Then tell me, since the Wang Xie family and other big clans jointly assist the Holy Lord in governing the world, why are they not getting better and better after so many years, but more and more chaotic?" ”

Xie Lingyun thought for a while and said: "This is a treacherous person who dominates the dynasty, regardless of the heavy burden of the people in the world, and also increases the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. ”

"Isn't that Confucian rule, why do you want to make trouble?"

"This~this~ The family occupies the land, forces the good to become prostitutes, and loots the people's fat and ointment!"

"Aren't all the great families rooted in Confucianism and etiquette, so why do they destroy their reputation and do this scourge?"

"There are a lot of good ones in this family, but only a small part."

If he can't argue, he wants to bypass it, which shows that Xie Lingyun is indeed extraordinary.

Xie Yu smiled, this nephew is only fifteen years old, he has this knowledge, no wonder he can go down in history, there must be no vain under the fame.

"Confucianism in the prosperous era, there is a certain truth in the law of troubled times, Confucianism has a deep foundation, but what is handed over to people is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty and filial piety,

If this fundamental is placed now, it is useless for the situation of the world, our door is already rotten to the bones, although the punishment of law is severe, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but in some cases, it can still play some role, however, he still does not apply to the offline court, it will only be harmful and useless. Xie Yu muttered.

Xie Lingyun said: "The Qin State has changed the law since Shangjun, it is extremely strong, sweeping the world, and the law also has certain benefits!" ”、

"Wrong, the foundation of jurisprudence must have a strong monarch, a strong one, can you guarantee that his children and grandchildren are strong? The doctrines of each faction have their own foundation, but they still treat the symptoms but not the root cause!! ”

Xie Lingyun's mind was wide open, and listening to these rebellious words, he did not have the slightest trace of trepidation and said: "What about metaphysics?"

"Haha, illusory and ethereal, "Lao Tzu", "Zhuangzi", "Zhou Yi", three mysteries stand, all things in heaven and earth are based on nothing, how can there be nothing, there are no talents, absurd, absurd, it is not enough to govern the world, it is really an academic pastime used by the minority, and it cannot be climbed into the hall of elegance!"

"Then why is it so hot at the moment!" Xie Lingyun asked.

"Partial to the south of the Yangtze River, idle, neither thinking about the Northern Expedition, nor thinking about seeking welfare for the people, completely immersed in luxury, desolation, daily lights, covering ears and stealing bells in the illusory realm, beyond their own experience, although the artistic conception is free, but it does harm the people of the world."

Xie Lingyun gasped and said, "What my uncle said today, if he said that he would go out, I am afraid that not only will ten thousand pen trees be cut down, but also people will be scolded to death in our family." ”

Xie Yu knows that the representatives of metaphysics, Heng Wen, Xie An, and Wang Xizhi, are all the elite of a family, just like the famous statement of the sage Wang Xizhi as a reference, which shows how harmful this metaphysics is.

Wang Xizhi once said: "After going to the official, he traveled with the people of the East to enjoy the mountains and rivers, fished for entertainment, practiced with the Taoist priest Xu Mai, collected medicinal stones for thousands of miles, traveled all over the famous mountains of Dongjun, and flooded the sea, and said: "I should die with pleasure!" ”

And Tao Yuanming simply "fell into the dust net by mistake." "In a nutshell, it can be seen that the rise of metaphysics has made these learned people not do good for the world, but have their own roots, and have fun all day long, which is absurd or not!"

Xie Yu raised his head, slowly took a sip of tea and said: "For or not, feel free to say it, even if others comment on it." ”

Xie Lingyun patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Good for or not, uncle is so heroic, today's talk, let the guest mouth suddenly, I always think that this world chaos must be the court for the government is not good, so that it is disrespectful, it turns out that in the final analysis, my dynasty is that people do not want to make progress, the big family closes the door and enjoys themselves, it seems that the rise and fall of the Heng family, the Xie family, the Wang family, and the Yu family are all caused by themselves." ”

Xie Yu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "What Ke'er said is good." Of course, I was happy in my heart, I thought that saying this today would make this ancient genius angry, or that he was simply talking nonsense, but I didn't expect this guy to be able to understand it at all, and completely digest these arguments beyond this era.

Xie Lingyun was praised, of course, he looked proud, although he also felt that what his uncle said was contrary to the norm, but it sounded really irresistible, and he pondered for a long time and said: "Then since it is difficult to apply all these learnings, does my uncle want to start a sect?" ”

"Poof~"

The tea in his mouth squirted out, making him cry and laugh: "It's really embarrassing for me." ”
