Chapter 31—Meeting the Magi (I)
More than ten days later, Guo Yue, the guard of the West Weaving City, resigned, and recommended Bo Liuliang, the former secretary of the East Weaving City, to temporarily take charge of the East Weaving City.
He Ran immediately called Liuliang to see him, and Liuliang listened to the meaning of the military advisor, and repeatedly resigned, saying that his virtue and deeds were not enough to convince the public, and strongly recommended the two old men who led the people to petition that day, Bo Kui and Shi Ye,
He Ran smiled and asked, "Then you tell me, which of the two of them is the most suitable for this position." ”
Liuliang thought for a while and said: "When it is Bokui, although both of them are great sages, but they are dedicated to studying, I am afraid they will not be invited." ”
He Ran turned to the bucket and said, "Then you can go with him and invite them to come." ”
Liuliang waved his hand and said: "No, the military advisor, please forgive the villain for talking too much, the two great sages are quite famous in this area, so please definitely not be invited." ”
"That's what you want." He Ran asked with a smile,
Liuliang bowed and said: "The villain is brave, for the well-being of the people, I implore the military advisor Corporal Lixian to greet him." ”
He Ran smiled and said, "I don't think it's necessary, if you don't invite them, you can take charge of the city first." ”
Liuliang had no choice but to bring the bucket to invite the virtuous,
In less than an hour, Liuliang came back with joy and reported: "The service has arrived." ”
He Ran was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that it was more difficult for him to invite, Bo Kui." ”
Liuliang said in confusion: "The villain is also very strange in his heart, we are the first to invite Bo Kui, he asked Ming to excuse himself and said that he had no intention of being an official, I knew that with my face, I would never invite them, and I went to invite them again, I didn't have any hope, but I didn't expect that the old gentleman would come without saying a word." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you, let's go down first." As he spoke, he said, "Please come in, old gentleman." ”
Piercing the bucket blinked, and asked, "He's all at the house, and the military advisor won't go out to pick it up." ”
He Ran pointed to his back and said, "How can I move if I'm so badly injured." ”
Piercing the bucket knew that he had just walked through the back garden in the morning, and when he heard him say this, he knew that he was deliberately neglecting this servant, so he said no more, smiled and turned around and went out,
After a while, Shi Ye walked in, and seeing that the ceremony was over, He Ran recognized him as the old man who had not spoken much in the city.
After he sat down, He Ran saw that he was refreshed, so he said: "He Ran is injured, and he couldn't come to the house to greet him, so he was lazy, and I hope the old man will forgive him." ”
Shi Ye said with a smile: "In the next grass people, how dare you work as a military division, it is a great luck to be summoned by the military division." ”
He Ran looked at him with both eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth spread, and said with a smile: "I speak casually, please don't blame the old gentleman, Fang Cai Liuliang strongly praised the old gentleman as a great sage here, and I can only be very emotional to the old gentleman, but ...... At first sight, how did you think that the old gentleman was not as noble as a sage, but he spoke sycophants. ”
Shi Ye didn't mind stroking his beard and smiled, and said calmly: "The old man doesn't dare to be the word 'great sage', and the great sage in the world is only the ear of the army." ”
He Ran smiled happily: "I'm afraid there are not many sages in the world who can say such frank words of flattery." ”
Shi Ye picked up the teacup and said: "The old man uses tea instead of wine to salute the military teacher, although the old man is not a great sage, but there are few officials in the world who are worthy of my sincere praise." ”
He Ran raised the teacup and motioned to him, and the two of them each took a sip,
After putting down the teacup, He Ran sighed with emotion: "Sage, honest and honest, the pretentious person is not a true sage, the old gentleman is really worthy of the name of the sage, He Ran is disrespectful." ”
Shi Ye said: "Although the sage of the military division is only three words, but the true meaning of it, the ancient saying cloud, the holy lord is now, the wise man is out, the new policy promoted by the military division is a good government in ancient times, when the sage of the country should come out to serve, although the old man is shallow, but if the military division is driven, he is willing to do his best, but he is stupid and misguided." ”
"The old gentleman is too modest, the old gentleman of this city guard is expected by everyone, but I don't know if the old gentleman has a detailed understanding of the new policy."
Shi Ye Zhengse said: "This year I have been figuring out the new deal, and I have visited several surrounding cities for this purpose, because I really understand the new deal, so the military advisor immediately came happily, with the old decay to realize, the new deal to the end of the state is that the government does nothing and the people can govern, even if there is no temple and the country is not chaotic." ”
He Ran happily patted a few cases and said: "That's right, the old gentleman is really a great sage, and I am really disrespectful." Saying that, he instructed Zhong Zheng, "Fetch the wine, I have to make amends to the old gentleman." ”
After the wine was full, He Ran picked up the wine bottle and said: "Don't hide it from the old man, I didn't plan to really invite you and Bo Kui to take charge of the East Weaving City, one is that I think that most of the people who have a good name are people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, and the other is that I think that the great sage is the great evil, and the person who holds the new policy, the heart is better than the talent, and the good character can be out of the sludge without staining, and can be humble and let the official position, I thought about letting him be the city guard, he strongly recommended the two old gentlemen, I had to make a appearance, I didn't want to snub the real sage, so I apologized for the sin with this wine." ”
Shi Ye raised the wine bottle and said: "The military advisor has said that he admires the personality of the old man very much, and agrees with what the military advisor said, 'Those who hold the new policy, the heart is better than the talent', the old man has always disdained to be an official, but now he wants to contribute, so please ask the military advisor to allow me to assist the lord." ”
He Ran drank all the wine in the bottle, and after Shiye drank it, he said: "The old gentleman is not a talent of a hundred miles, so first grieve here to guard the city for a while, and after Jiao Liuliang understands the gist of the new policy, I will write to the king and ask him to personally welcome the old gentleman into the court." ”
Shi Ye waved his hand and said: "I can't afford this, if the military advisor feels that the old decay still has a little bit of use, just a piece of paper, the old decay is willing to be driven, and the empty festival and cumbersome etiquette are still saved." ”
He Ran praised: "There are true sages in the world. ”
After talking for nearly an hour, Shi Ye got up and said: "The military advisor's back injury has not healed, and it is not suitable to sit for a long time. ”
He Ran still didn't finish his thoughts: "A conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years, He Ran really benefited a lot today, and I hope to get more teachings from the old gentleman in the future." ”
Shi Ye said solemnly: "Although the old man has no talent, but he has always been arrogant, in today's world, the only thing that can make the old man really admire is the military teacher, I am most disgusted with sycophancy in my life, but today I must say it to show respect." ”
He Ran grinned: "Although I like to listen to sycophants, but next time don't praise so solemnly, just talk and laugh and praise a few words, which makes me embarrassed." ”
Shi Ye laughed and said: "The military advisor is really an interesting person, it is really worthwhile to meet a genius like the military advisor in old age." ”
Before going out, Shi Ye suddenly remembered something, bowed, and said, "I still have to wait for the people who watched that day to thank the military advisor." ”
He Ran helped him up and said, "That's not necessary, it's no wonder to them." ”
Shi Ye nodded and said: "Yes, put yourself in your shoes, no one would dare to act rashly in such a situation, I was extremely disapproving of tying them up and asking for guilt, but I couldn't resist everyone." ”
He Ran pointed to his heart and said: "If the rulers can do things with their hearts, the laws and regulations are dispensable, and no matter how strict the laws are, there will be flaws. ”
Shi Ye nodded slowly and said, "Wonderful theory, the old man has written it down." ”
Sent away the servant, through the bucket sighed: "Today I always know what a true wise man is, in comparison, that Bo Kui is far behind, when I invited him, I saw that he was pretending to shirk, probably I wanted the military advisor to invite it personally, this old gentleman is really free and easy, true feelings." ”
He Ran nodded and said: "What you said is right, it is difficult to be a man in a 'true' word, he praised me for being so comfortable, I used to only be your flattering skills have reached the peak, but compared to the cloud mud judgment, you should learn from others." ”
Piercing the bucket smiled: "When it comes to flattery, I am as true as him, but my reputation is not as good as his, so the military advisor is not as useful as him." ”
He Ran laughed and said, "This flattery is good." He said and put away his joking expression, "Through doing things these days, I have seen your talent, if you are only allowed to make a long history in the Military Division's Mansion it is really condescending, I will go back and recommend it in front of the king, you still enter the court as an official." ”
Piercing the bucket smiled indifferently and said: "I came to the military division, not to be an official." ”
He Ran was moved in his heart, looked at him and said, "Thank you for your high opinion, that ...... You can make this long history. ”
He bowed down and said, "Master Xie, I wish it was enough." ”
He Ran helped him up and said: "There is no need to be polite in the future, just now the old gentleman said well, the Holy Lord is now, the Magi is out, I am not a Holy Lord, I know that you are willing to come out to work for the people because of the new policy, and you can be ranked as the prime minister with your talents, since you look up to me so much, and you are willing to make a long history here, then I will follow your wishes, and we will treat each other as brothers in private." ”
Piercing the bucket said calmly: "Then I won't be polite, you can't blame you for being presumptuous, I'm the most tired of saluting people, and I've been giving more salutes these days than I've done in the past few decades." ”
He Ran frowned and said, "How many times have you performed a salute these days, so you haven't performed a few salutes in the past few decades of your life, it's really ...... Alas. ”
Piercing the barrel moved his mouth and wanted to ridicule each other, but after all, the acquaintance was short and he didn't dare to be too casual, so he endured the words that came to his mouth,
He Ran laughed and said, "If you can't let go all the time, you can only suffer all the time." ”
Piercing the bucket smiled confidently: "When I really let go, you will be the one who suffers." ”
"You're saying that too soon." He Ran was disapproving, "I still have to recuperate from this injury for a few days before I can leave for home, don't be idle here, take a few subordinates back to Mingzhong City first, go to the military department for a few days to learn about the situation of soldiers and horses in the country, and go to Pingcheng to meet with Shi Xiangling, and the future affairs will depend on you a lot." ”
"Command." Halfway down through the barrel, he straightened up again,
He Ran pointed at him and smiled: "At this point, you are the best one, it seems that you really didn't want to give gifts to people before, it won't be the number of etiquette that you just learned from Bai Yuan before coming to my mansion." ”
Piercing the bucket and being teased again, he shook his head and turned around to go,
