Lu Zhi stood at the front and read: "The hard-working people live up to the sky, lie down and taste the gall, and three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu." Yes, yes, hard-working people to aspirants, this lying salary and courage of the dictionary and the broken cauldron complement each other, the more to Qin, Wu to Chu, sentence practice to Xiang Yu, the battle neat, momentum, wonderful, this up and down together, can be called a peerless couplet, enough to celebrities through the ages. Brother Wen Xian, Ling Lang has such a talent at his age, and his future is limitless. ”

Huangfu Song also said: "This is not only good, this line is also beautiful, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really think it is written by one person." ”

Everyone's praise was not stingy, Yang Biao was so happy that his face blossomed, this smart son did give him a long face. Xiao Yang Xiu's congratulations to everyone at this time were also accepted calmly, and with a proud look, maybe he grew up in the praise of everyone when he was young, and developed his fluttering appearance.

Liu Ze sighed secretly in his heart, three years old looks young, seven years old looks old, it's really right, arrogance is Yang Xiu's way to take trouble, sometimes being smart may not be really a good thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Zeti wrote four big characters on the wall: "Rare and confused".

At this time, everyone was stunned, it seems that Liu Ze wrote a horizontal criticism, and the general horizontal criticism is four words, but if you look closely, these four words are not related to the couplet itself, and it is even more incomprehensible to be confused, is it more important to be confused than to be smart?

Liu Ze smiled and said to Yang Xiu: "These four words will be given to Brother Yang, I think it is enough for Brother Yang to last a lifetime." ”

Then Liu Ze saluted everyone: "Princess, don't leave it here." There will be a period later. There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and in the sighs of others, Liu Ze embarked on the journey.

Those four words were deeply imprinted in Yang Xiu's mind, but at this moment, he was so smart that he couldn't understand the meaning in detail. It wasn't until a few years later in the Hanzhong military camp, when the knife and axe were on his neck, that he suddenly realized that he finally realized the true meaning of the four words that Liu Ze gave him, it is difficult to be smart, it is even more difficult to be confused, and confusion is sometimes more important than being smart. It's a pity that he realized this truth but was too late.

Liu Ze and his entourage looked east. Went straight to Mengjin. Liu Ze looked at Jia Xu with a pensive face, and quipped: "Wen He was also born in filial piety before, and I didn't expect that he would be reduced to the county office as a master, which is sad and lamentable." ”

Jia Xu came back to his senses. smiled: "Master is not bad." The master of 2,000 stones is probably really the only one in the world. There are no more semicolons. ”

"Why is Wenhe thinking?"

"When I was in the post house, the 'rare confusion' in the book of the lord made my subordinates feel deeply, and it seemed to be ordinary and somewhat unreasonable words. But it contains the great philosophy of life. ”

Liu Ze was very excited and said, "Wen He said to listen to it." ”

Jia Xu said: "It is easy to be confused, but it is not easy for a smart person to make a foolish thing, never be confused when he should be smart in life, never be smart when he should be confused, pretend to be smart, sharp edge, that is by no means really smart, on the contrary, he is well versed in Tao Hui, and retreats as advances, how can he be really confused?" It's just that I look at Yang Xiu's arrogance, and his eyes are empty, but I'm afraid that he is too smart, and he may not be able to understand the deep meaning of the lord? ”

When it comes to literature and poetry, Jia Xu may be much worse than Yang Xiu, but if it is really compared to the way of life, the two of them are not on the same level at all. In history, Jia Xu and Yang Xiu each had their own masters, and they both made suggestions in the battle for Cao Cao's heirs, fighting openly and secretly. Yang Xiu once did dozens of dogmas for Cao Zhi, and every time Cao Cao asked, Cao Zhi was able to answer them fluently, and later the matter was revealed, and Cao Cao especially hated Yang Xiu. Jia Xu only made a plan for Cao Pi, but whenever Cao Cao went on the expedition, Cao Pi cried bitterly in front of the horse and was reluctant. If Cao Pi can be called the Golden Horse actor, then Jia Xu is definitely a gold medal director. Cao Cao wanted to establish a son, hesitated, and asked Jia Xu about his plan, but Jia Xu just said lightly: "Si Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng and his son are also." It is this sentence that determines the future, and also determines the trend of the Three Kingdoms in the next few decades.

Jia Xu's cleverness lies in the fact that he knows what to say, what not to say, what to do, what not to do, never form a party for personal gain, climb power and attach nobles, and enjoy his life in peace and stability in the court where he accompanies the king like a tiger, which is really smart. On the other hand, Yang Xiu's cleverness is just the exposure of his talents, his self-pride and intelligence, his unscrupulous words, and he repeatedly challenged the bottom line of the Lord, and finally died tragically, which is just a little cleverness.

Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "I see that although Yang Xiu is brilliant but uninhibited, it is just that talent is hard to find, and I can't bear to see his fate, so I warn him, do his best, and listen to the destiny of heaven, that's all, if he can understand his meaning, from his words, he can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, if not, I have nothing to do." ”

Guan Yu said: "This son is a young talent, he has not yet reached the crown, he does not know the difficulties of the world, and he may have an epiphany when he becomes an adult in the future." ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Character determines fate, if you really want to change, it is difficult." ”

Liu Ze turned around and said, "Speaking of Jiguan, Pan Feng, you will be twenty this year." ”

Pan Feng was behind Liu Ze and said respectfully, "Yes." ”

Liu Ze patted his head and said, "Seeing that I have been so busy during this time, I have forgotten about your crown ceremony, so let's wait until I get to the plain and take the time to do this crown ceremony." ”

Pan Feng said: "Thank you, it's just a subordinate civilian, it doesn't matter if you can do it or not, just ask the lord to give Feng a word." ”

Liu Ze pondered for a while and said: "This crown ceremony is unavoidable, but you are also a scholar, what about the words, there is Feng Laiyi, how about taking the word Ziyi?" ”

Pan Feng was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Thank you for the word." ”

Liu Ze said again: "If I'm not mistaken, Anguo will turn twenty this year." ”

Wu Anguo hurriedly said, "Yes, lord." ”

"Well, let's wait until we get to the plains and give you a crown salute. You have to take a table word, but - why did your parents give you a double name? "The vast majority of people in the Han Dynasty had a single name and a compound character, and the name of two characters was really rare.

Wu Anguo blushed a little, and said sneeringly: "Back to the lord, I am from a pariah background, in our hometown, there are all kinds of names, and we don't take table words." ”

Untouchables? Liu Ze was stunned, he really hadn't heard that the two words were untouchables, according to this reasoning, the vast majority of the 1.3 billion people in the future generations were untouchables.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "An Guo's words are wrong, although when the world takes more single names and abandons double names, there is no distinction between noble and low, the former Han Huo Quai, Li Guangli are all a generation of famous generals, and Ma Riyan of this dynasty is even more after the Ma family, the grandson of the Confucian Ma Rong clan, if you say that you use a double name, won't they all become untouchables?" What's more, the former Emperor Xiaozhao of the Han Dynasty was named Fuling, and even the emperor could use a double name. ”

Liu Ze was very interested, and said: "Since there is no distinction between single name and double name, why do people take single names instead of double names?" ”

It seems that most of the people in the Han Dynasty were single names, and the double names became popular after the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Li Longji, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, these later emperors are all double names, obviously the double names of later generations are noble or single and double, but the Han Dynasty is the only single name, but Liu Ze does not know the reason.

But this is not difficult for the erudite Jia Xu. "When the world admires a single name, it is because of one person, and that person is Wang Mang, who usurped the Han Dynasty and established a new one. In the former Han Dynasty and even earlier Zhou Qin, people did not pay attention to whether the list was double or not. After Wang Mang established a new dynasty, the retro system was restructured, and the edict was removed from the second name. Wang Mang has a grandson named Wang Zong, who seems to can't wait to inherit his grandfather's throne naturally, and privately carved the seal of the dragon robe to prepare for rebellion, and committed suicide after the incident. Wang Mang was furious and issued a special edict to change his name back to Huizong and degrade his status. Although Wang Mang was quickly destroyed, his edict to go to the second name was no longer counted, but people are used to nature, so the single name is still prevalent in the world. As for the common people, they can't recognize a few words, and the name is naturally not so particular, and the cat and dog take it at will, so why care about the single name and the double name. ”

Liu Ze nodded and said: "I see, An Guo, I heard what Mr. Wenhe said, no matter whether it is a single name or two names, there is no meaning of nobility and cheapness, in fact, it is the same as being a person, people in the world are originally the same ancestor and the same root, how can a person say that he can't choose his origin, but he can choose his path, princes and generals, rather have a kind?" An country, a country, a country, a country, today I will take the word Dingbang for you, I hope you can become a minister of peace and stability in the future. ”

Wu Anguo was born in poverty, but he was an inferior pariah, and the lord not only gave him a watch, but also encouraged him to be angry and determined to serve the country, how could he not be overjoyed. "Dingbang Xie Lord's word."

Liu Ze said with a smile: "The table word is used to be called by others, and there are those who call themselves the table word." ”

Wu Anguo smiled and said, "I am very happy that the lord gave me the words, how do I know that there are so many exquisiteness?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head again and again and said: "It's not proper, this state word can't be used indiscriminately, this word is the name of Emperor Gaozu, whether it is a name or a table, it must be avoided." ”

Liu Ze didn't care, and said: "The avoidance system is really a garbage thing, a person's name is just a symbol, the emperor uses it, others are not allowed to use it, not only can it not be used as a name, but it can't even be mentioned when talking and writing articles, and even the name of a person who has been dead for hundreds of years has to be changed, what is the reason?" Many articles are half-incomprehensible, and even the surnames of their ancestors have been changed because they want to avoid it, so it's better not to have this bad habit? Taishi Gong is an example in this regard, he dares to write Emperor Wu's words directly, why should I taboo Gaozu's state words. ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, if Wu Anguo didn't enter the court as an official, it would be fine, if he really entered the court as an official, he would be afraid of losing his official duties just by relying on this state character. (To be continued......)
