Chapter 15 Mangzi’s literary attainments

 After Liu Xin and Yang Xiong felt the beauty of clean soft paper, they admired Wang Mang even more.

Wang Mang also appeared to be extremely humble in his praise of the two of them, without any complacent or complacent attitude at all.

Finally, Wang Mang also told Liu Xin his thoughts and wanted Liu Xin to introduce his father Liu Xiang to him.

Liu Xin did not refuse Wang Mang's request, he was extremely happy.

Thanks to Wang Mang's help during this period, Liu Xin's progress in mathematics can be said to have been rapid. Even his genius father Liu Xiang was curious about it.

Liu Xin did not hide the key to his progress in mathematics. He directly told Liu Xiang about Wang Mang's help.

Liu Xiang was also delighted to know that his son was with such a young talent in Tianlu Pavilion.

The power of the Wang family is obvious to all. As a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Mang is so humble and respectful, and so smart and studious. His future future must be limitless.

Therefore, Liu Xiang was extremely satisfied with the attitude of his children to put aside their grudges and make friends with the Wang family's children again. If Liu Xin was as angular and not smooth as him, his family might be marginalized from the imperial court in the future.

.

Liu Xiang still doesn't want to see such a result.

When Wang Mang heard that Liu Xin had introduced Liu Xiang to him, he was also overjoyed.

While overjoyed, Wang Mang said to Liu Xin: "Brother Zijun, I have something that can help your brother continue to improve his calculation power. I can give this thing to my brother in a few days."

Liu Xin smiled and said: "In this case, I will thank you very much as a brother."

Liu Xin is no longer as cold as he was when he first met Wang Mang. Now his attitude towards Wang Mang is much more enthusiastic than that of Yang Xiong.

Of course, this does not mean that the relationship between Yang Xiong and Wang Mang is estranged.

It's because Yang Xiong is like this. He comes from the land of Western Shu. Facing the noble sons of Chang'an like Wang Mang and Liu Xin, he is born with a feeling of inferiority in his heart.

Although he also relies on his talent and learning, the gap in status is not so easy to bridge, so there is a reason why he is sometimes not as open-minded as Liu Xin.

But this does not hinder the friendship between Wang Mang and Liu Xin. The three of them are still the best friends in Tianlu Pavilion.

In his spare time, Wang Mang still worked very hard and seriously with Yang Xiong to sort out the study of dialects. In order to perfect Yang Xiong's study of dialects, Wang Mang even spent a lot of money to buy books from various places and give them to Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong was also moved by what he saw in his eyes. This was the first and only time in Yang Xiong's life that he met such a dedicated and friendly person. Therefore, Yang Xiong's trust in Wang Mang exceeded his previous trust.

Any dear friend!

It’s a holiday in two days.

Liu Xin also made an appointment with his father Liu Xiang on this day. When this day came, Wang Mang also made extremely thoughtful and proper preparations.

Liu Xiang was fond of literature and determined to compile a complete set of classics and history books for the Han Dynasty, as a guide for the Han Dynasty's current confused thinking.

Wang Mang knew what he wanted, so he spent a lot of money to buy the remains of ancient books from a wealthy family as a gift.

Therefore, when Liu Xiang first met Wang Mang, he left an excellent impression on Wang Mang.

When he was prosperous, Liu Xiang also studied Wang Mang's knowledge.

Liu Xiang asked: "Do you know the story of Zou Ji?"

When Wang Mang heard Liu Xiang's question, his mind turned quickly. Soon Wang Mang knew who Zou Ji was who Liu Xiang wanted to question.

Zou Ji was an important minister of Qi during the Warring States Period. His most famous thing was his admonition to King Qi Wei.

This story is also one of the stories about Qi Ce in "Warring States Policy" compiled by Liu Xiang.

This story is still one of the classical Chinese texts that must be memorized in later generations, so Wang Mang was deeply impressed by it.

Wang Mang said: "The younger generation knows a thing or two. During the Warring States Period, Zou Ji was the Prime Minister of Qi Wei, and King Wei was not good at accepting advice. Zou Ji used his wives and concubines as an example to give King Wei clever advice, so that from then on, King Wei opened his mouth and actively accepted advice.

, and finally ruled the roost among the nations."

After Liu Xiang heard Wang Mang's answer, he was pleased with it and called it good.

The look in Wang Mang's eyes became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Then Liu Xiang and Wang Mang talked about many stories of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Finally, Liu Xiang also shared the draft of the "Warring States Policy" compiled by him with Wang Mang.

Wang Mang was flattered by this, which is incredible!

In the Han Dynasty, all academic studies were passed down from family to master. It does not mean that people who can read are literate people. There must be a person who inherits the classics to be called a literate person.

Liu Xiangken showed the book he wrote to Wang Mang, which shows that he trusts Wang Mang and treats Wang Mang as his nephew.

Faced with such a heavy trust, Wang Mang was also inexplicably excited. He couldn't help but stand up and bow to Liu Xiang and show his strength as a disciple.

Liu Xiang smiled heartily when he saw Wang Mang being so sensible.

Liu Xiangdao: "This book has not yet been finalized, and there is still room for improvement. I just heard what you said about Zou Ji, King of Qi, and I feel very wonderful. So I want to test your learning. This article is the "Admonishment of Zou Ji" compiled by me.

"King of Qi" story, would you like to try to change it?"

Wang Mang immediately bowed and said: "The captain's words are serious, the learning of juniors is not as good as the light of a firefly, how dare they compare with the bright moon?"

Liu Xiang smiled and said: "Confucius said: When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. Now I, Xin and you are exactly three people. And I am old, and although I have thoughts, most of them are frozen. You, the younger generation, have soaring thoughts, how can you

Can you look down upon yourself?"

Liu Xiang spoke in an elegant manner. If Wang Mang hadn't integrated Wang Mang's original memory habits, he might not have been able to understand him.

Based on his curiosity about the manuscript of "Warring States Policy", Wang Mang did not refuse. He also wanted to see the difference between the unwritten "Warring States Policy" and what he studied in later generations.

Wang Mang bowed again, and then took the Qi Ce chapter of "Warring States Policy" from Liu Xiang.

Wang Mang read it carefully and found that although the story of the Warring States Policy was the same as what he knew, the writing was not as concise and catchy as the one he would recite in later generations.

Wang Mang couldn't help but think too much about this. It must be because there is no final draft. If it is finalized, this article should be no different from what Wang Mang later learned.

But now Wang Mang is excited.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I take the lead in improving the finalized story of "Zou Ji satirizes the King of Qi and accepts remonstrance" in the "Warring States Policy" compiled by Liu Xiang, what a brilliant honor it will be!

When he thought that the articles that future generations of students would recite were written by his own hand, Wang Mang couldn't help but indulge in this feeling. He never thought that one day he would be able to become a classical Chinese nightmare in the minds of future generations of students!

This feeling is so wonderful.

Wang Mang was no longer humble at this time. After reading Liu Xiang's article "Zou Ji's Admonition to the King of Qi", he couldn't help but write out "Zou Ji's Satire on the King of Qi's Acceptance of Admonition" that he had long memorized.

.

Liu Xiang and Liu Xin's eyes lit up when they saw Wang Mang's new story.

I didn't expect that Wang Mang could improve this story so much, not only reducing the original length, but also enhancing the integrity of the story and plot, making it more tortuous and fascinating!

Moreover, the characters of Zou Ji and King Qi are also shaped in such a three-dimensional way, which is truly an excellent work!

Liu Xiang liked this very much and felt that Wang Mang was a talented person who deserved to provide him with the necessary help.
