Chapter 25, who is worthy of the middle
It was Xun Qian's life influenced by his family, and he began to come into contact with the relatively jerky long ancient texts just after elementary school, and the first time he was forced by his parents to memorize the tome was "Ancient Texts and Views".
This book is a selection of ancient prose selected and compiled by Wu Chucai and Wu Tiaohou in the Qing Dynasty, and its purpose is said in the preface to be "to be nurtured and to learn later", and it is used as an enlightenment textbook for readers. To this day, Shi Xun can still remember most of the titles in the book, and there are still seven or eight articles that can still be recited in full.
The "Guwen Guan Zhi" is sorted by era, of which "Zhou Wen" occupies three volumes, and "Warring States Wen" accounts for one volume, and its content is nothing more than excerpts from several tomes such as "Zuo Chuan", "Chinese", and "Warring States Policy". There are two volumes of "Hanwen", of which the excerpts of "Historical Records" account for a whole volume, and then directly "Six Dynasties and Tang Texts Volume No. 7"......
What does this mean? It shows that during the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were not a few good essays (there are a lot of prose) handed down, what do you say is Xun copying? He can't directly move the Tang and Song Dynasty articles hundreds of years later, and besides, there are many letters in the Tang and Song Dynasty articles, so there are few essays.
You said that if I had memorized the "Concerts of Famous Ministers of the Past Dynasties" at the beginning...... Thinking about that tome, I can't help but gasp.
Thinking back to my habit of copying poems, I really haven't copied articles much. The only two are Jiang Yan's "Farewell Fu", and the other is to use "Seeking Wu Cong" to write "Seeking Yuan Shaoxuan", the former is two hundred years later, and although the latter is Tang Wen, it is also four and six, mixed with scattered rhymes, and it is not difficult to revise. But now if you want to write a sincere rhetoric, where can you copy this?
Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh: Kong Ming, Kong Ming. Why are your first two lists so beautifully written? How can I surpass this teacher!
But when it comes to Zhuge Liang. But something suddenly occurred to him. I can't help but shine in front of my eyes - yes, I can copy Zhuge Liang!
When it comes to the prose of the Han and Wei dynasties, there are only two articles included in "Guwen Guan Zhi", all of which are by Zhuge Liang, one is "The Former Teacher's Table", and the other is "The Later Teacher's Table" - of course, the latter may be Xibei goods, but the age should not be far apart. Shixun himself is more convinced of "Zhuge Ke's forgery theory".
"The Later Teacher's Table" is a decadent Tang Dynasty, what "if you don't kill the thief, the royal industry will also die; But sit and wait for death, who will cut it down? "What" the minister bowed to the best (did his best), and then died; As for success or failure, it is not up to the minister's wisdom to reverse it. "And there are so many examples that there is nothing to copy. "The Former Teacher's Table" is different, saying that Liu Bei's kindness is very good, and Shen is full of loyalty, which is just used to set the relationship between himself and Cao Cao!
As the saying goes, "out of the teacher, a real name in the world." Who can be in the middle of the ages", and future generations regard it as a treasure. Not only because of the brilliance of the rhetoric - to be honest, it is still Kong Ming's usual rustic style, more bones than flesh, but more than literary - but because the true feelings are revealed, full of loyal ministers, it has to make people cover up and cry. Okay, I'll copy him, I don't believe Cao Cao can not be moved.
This can be regarded as a deep favor from you as a teacher, apprentice - you won't have a chance to write anything like this anyway.
As soon as you think about it, you put pen to paper. "The Former Teacher's Table" begins with a discussion of the form: "The first emperor did not start a business and the middle way collapsed, and today he is three points, Yizhou is tired, and this sincerity is in danger of survival." However, the ministers of the guards are unremitting inside, and the loyal people forget about the outside, cover the special encounter of the first emperor, and want to repay it to ......His Majesty, "Of course, this has to be repaired, and it is Xun directly changed to:
"Today, the Han Dynasty is replaced, the Wei State is built, but it is also divided into three parts of the world, the cool is in the west, and Yizhou is in the south. It is the ministers of the old guard who are unremitting inside, and the loyal people who forget themselves outside, cover the special encounter of the king, and want to repay him. β
After that, "the palace and the mansion are all one" or something, recommend Guo Youzhi, Dong Yun, Xiang Pet or something, "sigh and hate Yu Huan, Lingye" or something, of course you can't use it, endure the pain and cut love. Let's get straight to the point and talk about the experiences and feelings of the monarch and the minister-
"Chenben cloth, wandering the rivers and lakes, living in troubled times, not seeking to reach the princes...... "That's right, when I went to Yanzhou, theoretically I just went to send your father and your brother, as for the matter of wanting to hug your thighs for a long time, let's just tacitly do it, there is no need to say it-" The king is not despicable to the ministers, and he is indecent, and the ministers are grateful for the things of the world, so they are grateful, so they are allowed to drive. From the beginning of peace to Jian'an, it has been 18 years. β
Writing this, suddenly the thoughts diverged: in the original history, how did Zhuge Liang get out of the mountain? Because there are two completely different records in the history books, one is the "three visits to the thatched house" known to women and children, and the other is Zhuge Liang's self-recommendation and Liu Bei. It is generally believed that the self-recommendation is unreliable, because there is a "former teacher's table" that "the first emperor did not treat his ministers as despicable, and he was humiliated by himself, and the ministers were in the grass house, and the ministers were ...... by the affairs of the world" to compare it with Chen Shou's original text, and the self-recommendation was self-defeating.
But the problem is that Zhuge Liang himself didn't write about this matter in detail, and the "three" of "three looks" is likely to be just an approximate number to show that it is too much. The ancients were accustomed to using approximate numbers, such as three, nine, hundred, thousand, etc., maybe Chen Shou's first-hand information was obtained from the "Former Master Table", and then it was regarded as a definite number, but there was a saying of "the first master was bright, and where the three went to, it was seen......
Ah, you can't get distracted at this time, and for yourself, this historical mystery will never be solved, so what are you thinking about? Shi Xun tried his best to pull back his thoughts, and continued to copy the paragraph "Since I was ordered, I have been lamenting all night, I am afraid that the entrustment will not work, and I will hurt the wisdom of the first emperor":
"Since the minister was instructed, he has been lamenting all night, fearing that the entrustment will not work, so as to hurt the king's wisdom. Therefore, the Wei State was created in grass, in order to make the rules and regulations, divided into Taiwan and analyzed the department, and wanted to make the sages settle down, then the king consulted the good way, Chana Yayan, and the ministers and other ministers were blunt, and the traitors were eliminated, and the top and bottom were concentric, and the country could be governed. β
If you express your loyalty, you can say it almost at this point, and then you should resign from the official and retire, and the "Former Teacher Table" is not needed. Shi Xun raised his head to the sky and planned for a long time, simply, I copied two more sentences of "Later Teacher's Table", and held Cao Cao more to say: You are so powerful, I can't keep up with your footsteps, how dare you eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse position and attract slanderββ
"However, the minister is very incompetent, or there is a day long, and he is in the middle of the book. The wisdom of the king is very different, and his use of soldiers is also like Sun and Wu, and he can't be overpowered, and those who have already determined the world are all negligent ministers. Therefore, the solar eclipse is in the front, and the chaos is in the back......"
Taking advantage of the trend, Wen Si is like a surging river, surging endlessly, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of words fell. Finally, I turned around a big circle, and then returned to the "Former Teacher's Table": "Now stay away, I don't know what to say." "But, wait, didn't Cao Cao agree to let me go? Unlike Zhuge Liang in the original history, he said that he would send troops when he sent troops, and he didn't need to ask Liu Chan's opinion at all......
It can be used in the concluding sentence of Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table": "The ministers are not afraid of dogs and horses, and I would like to worship the table and hear it." β
After writing the article of more than 1,000 words, Shixun felt sweaty and felt that he had used up half of his life's wisdom...... This is much harder than revising "Seeking Martial Arts" back then. I felt dizzy right now, so I just threw the pen - I won't fix it anymore, just do what you like, and get up tomorrow and transcribe it!
As a result, the next morning just finished washing, and when I got out of the house, I saw that Zhuge Liang had already greeted him at the door, and when he saw Shi Xunxian, he took a deep look: "Liang Te came to invite Mr. Hongwen." "It's Xunxin who said where did my macro article come from, it's clearly your macro article...... He still has a little face, this plagiarism ran into the original author, he couldn't help but blush, his confidence was wild, and he hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't sleep all night, and I haven't transcribed it yet." β
Zhuge Liang said it doesn't matter, I'll help you polish the ink, and you can transcribe it. Yesun had no choice, so he had to blush-faced and copy the article in a fair official book, Zhuge Liang recited silently behind him, nodded at the same time, and after reading it, he praised it repeatedly: "'Because of gratitude, I am allowed to drive', 'I am afraid that the entrustment will not work', 'Consult the good way, Chana Yayan' and other words, it is expected to be able to impress the king of Wei." β
It's Xun Xin who said that he was ashamed, but in fact, I didn't dare to copy the real essence...... Well, in another decade or two, when the time comes, you have to remember to plagiarize the sentence "Do your best, and then die", such a beautiful text, wouldn't it be a pity if it was annihilated?
After the transcription was completed, someone was sent to present it to Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao did not issue an edict to comfort him that day, but specially sent his secretary Cheng Wangxiang to Zhongshutai in the afternoon to invite Shixun into the palace to meet him. Shi Xun hurriedly straightened his clothes, went by car, and entered the church to meet Cao Cao. A peek at it, I saw Cao Cao sitting upright, his face was cloudy, and he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which should be his newly written dictionary.
It was the chief inspector who greeted him, and then sat sideways. But Cao Cao waved his hand: "Hongfu, come closer." "Did Xun Xin say that you have been running low on qi lately? Always let me talk so closely, I will feel that my internal organs have been seen through by you, and it is inevitable that the center will be worried. Although he was slandered, he didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately got up, rushed to Cao Cao's case, and sat down opposite.
Cao Cao shook the dictionaries in his hand: "Hongfu is a good article." Shixun hurriedly pretended to be modest: "The minister is frightened and doesn't know what to say." Cao Cao stared at his eyes, and kept staring at Shi Xun until he was forced to hang his head, and then he pouted: "This is really Hongfu's text." Who did the prelude? β
It was Xun Xin who said that Lao Cao, you pretended to be a belly of ink in vain, this time you are completely blind, and the three remarks can actually be regarded as Zhuge Liang's work, and it has nothing to do with me at all...... But he said: "King Mingjian, the first two are all disciples, Zhuge Kongming's pen." β
"Master Gaozu," Cao Cao praised casually, then his face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Hongfuguo wants to abandon the lonely and go?" β
Shixun hurriedly said: "The minister is favored by the king, but he has done his best, and he has ...... after death" Ah, I said, I said it, I used this sentence in advance, and the secretary next to you can quickly write it down - "Bear with it?" However, the celestial phenomena warn that if the ministers do not avoid the throne, they will be slandered by the superiors, and they may hurt the king Shengming. β
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Go to the position, why do you want to return home?" His eyes were like electricity, and he seemed to shoot directly at Shi Xun's viscera: "Qing begged to go today, do nothing to avoid Kong Wenju?!" (To be continued......)
