61, Poetry Harmony
ps: Yesterday's computer screens were successively blue, and I took them to repair them. I stayed up late and used my phone to code for a chapter, and then revised them in the middle. Let's watch it today.
"I'm here to be a drunkard in Yiyang City. I'm drunk all day long and I'm rarely sober. How can I give guidance to others?"
After Xi Zhicai finished talking about himself, he burped another time and stared at his empty wine cup and continued:
"On the contrary, although Yan Jun is a northern Ma Shang, he has no sense of stinking aura. Instead, he has a faint sense of killing. Jun is the real heroic man!"
Yan Xing didn't care about Xi Zhicai's temptation, and laughed and said:
"I am just a beautiful horse vendor in the north, so I can only know some martial arts. I have killed a few horse thieves. The rash aura on my body makes the opera laugh!"
After hearing Yan Xing's words, Xi Zhicai chuckled, turned his eyes away from the wine cup, looked at Liu Qiao and said:
"Zigao, since I have gone to Luoyang Kyoto this time, I must have seen a lot of interesting things. The old rules, I drink, you can tell interesting things!"
Liu Qiao smiled when she heard this, but Yan Xing sat beside him. He thought about the language and then began to say carefully:
"Last year, Luoyang had just sent troops to expel the Hedong Baibo bandits, and Taiwei Dong was promoted to the prime minister. At the beginning of this month, the court summoned the left general Huangfu Song and Jingzhao Yin Gaixun into the court...."
The news spread nowadays slowly. Luoyang is in the world and is a place where news gathers from all directions. After Liu Qiao was detained by Yan Xing, he could not move in a short time and knew little. He could only tell some old news. Xi Zhicai listened and drank. After Liu Qiao finished speaking, he drank less than five glasses of wine and continued to ask with a smile:
"Although these are major events in the court, they are not interesting things. When Cao Gui saw Duke Zhuang of Lu, his friend once said, 'Why do you think of meat eating?', you and the common people, just talk about some interesting things between the market. Come on, you drink a cup, and think about some interesting things you have seen in Luoyang again while drinking."
Liu Qiao raised the wine cup angrily. The wine became bitter in his mouth. How could the friends in front of him know that he was detained in the camp by the Yan Duwei beside him for a long time. What he could see every day were those fierce soldiers. They could not have the heart and freedom to see and hear anything interesting. However, he couldn't stand Xi Zhi's repeated requests. He could only rack his brains and talk about a nursery rhyme in Luoyang that he had heard when he left Beijing with the army recently.
"I'm busy with merchants all the time. What I see every day is all about book business. I really have no interesting things. If I want to say it, I can only talk about the nursery rhymes that have been circulating in Luoyang City recently."
"What nursery rhyme, say it quickly, say it quickly!"
"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It is no longer difficult for the deer to enter Chang'an. This is a nursery rhyme passed down by a child in the city well of Luoyang. As for whom he wrote and what he meant, I still don't know yet?"
"There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. It will be no more difficult for the deer to enter Chang'an."
Xi Zhicai paused the wine cup in his hand and silently recited the nursery rhyme in his mouth. He looked up at Yan Xing, whose face was calm, his eyes lit up, and he smiled:
"It's interesting, interesting. Today, the soldiers and horses in the city are in chaos, and I can't go out to wander. This is the most interesting thing I have heard today. Come on, for this interesting thing, we will be like a big deal."
Yan Xing followed Xi Zhicai's wishes and had a glass of wine before smiling faintly:
"We are all people with very little knowledge. We don't know the meaning of this nursery rhyme, and have you ever known the profound meaning of this sentence?"
Xi Zhicai looked at Yan Xing with a sound, but did not refuse. He poured the stopped wine into his mouth and said casually:
"Luoyang nursery rhymes naturally respond to things in the court. At the beginning of last year, a nursery rhyme that was circulated in Luoyang with 'Houfeifa, Wang Feiwang, thousands of riders and thousands of riders traveling to the north' was a matter of chaos in Kyoto and the emperor hunting north. Now, this nursery rhyme of 'deer traveling to Chang'an' was naturally responding to things that the court moved westward."
"The court moved westward?"
When Liu Qiao heard Xi Zhicai's words, he couldn't help but exclaim. He was in the military camp and the news was blocked, so it was naturally impossible for him to know the latest updates of the court. If it were in the past, he would have to ask Xi Zhicai's opinion, but now with Yan Xing by his side, it was not his turn to ask. After he exclaimed, he knew that he was wrong and quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Yan Xing naturally knew that this nursery rhyme was the one that was supposed to be. He could guess Xi Zhicai, and he was not surprised and asked again:
"Since the monk Xi believes that the court is moving westward, what about the move westward?"
"Mencius said, 'The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people'. This Luoyang Kyoto in the place of Longxing is naturally not as good as Chang'an, which has the solidity of the Lu Han. It's just that it's hard to say that the deer is not in Chang'an, but it's superficial. Didn't you hear that Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuanyu, but in Xiao Wall? After all, this natural danger of the Lu Han can only block the coalition forces in Guandong."
"Haha, I'm so happy to see you, please come to Yashou!"
Xi Zhicai directly used Mencius's "The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people" to perfectly interpret the difficulties faced by the court controlled by Dong Zhuo at the moment. If it were not a talented and well-informed person, how could he explain the current situation so clearly?
Yan Xing could understand the meaning of Xi Zhicai. As for the depth of this, it would be left to be revealed after the incident. At present, Yan Xing was neither willing to say much nor ask more questions. He continued:
"I heard that Xijun is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Since I know the beauty of these two capitals, I must be more familiar with the geography of the Yingchuan land. Yan is a northerner and it is rare to come to the Central Plains. I am just trying to stay for a while and also see the mountains, rivers and cultures of Yingchuan. Xijun is a local talent and I believe he can teach me something!"
Xi Zhicai kept drinking, said ok, and whispered to Yan Xing with a smell of alcohol:
"Yuzhou is one of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. Because it is located in the world, it is also called Zhongzhou. The people are rich, Confucianism is prosperous, merchants and travelers come and go, and the people are safe. The territory is connected to Yanzhou in the north, Sili in the east, Xutu in the west, and Jing and Yang in the south, and is a thoroughfare in all directions. It is also a place of four battles. In the third generation, the Qin and Han dynasties, the princes in the world often compete for this."
"I look at the qi of each state, the qi of Jingzhou is fast and fierce, the qi of Liangzhou is dangerous and cold, the qi of Yizhou is guarding the middle, the qi of Youzhou is dry and tiring, the qi of Bingzhou is brave and brave, the qi of Xuzhou is relaxed and generous, the qi of Yanqing is relaxed and broad, the qi of Yangzhou is calm, the qi of Jiaozhou is far away, and the qi of the two capitals is not prosperous. Only when the qi of Yuzhou is in order is orderly, this is the best atmosphere, and only when the civil and military can we have a long fortune!"
"And the land of my Yangcheng City is close to Luoyang, with the capital. There is the Bing River, the Ying River surrounds the territory, and the danger of Songgao Mountain. It is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. If you get this place in the southeast, you can get the benefits of Kyoto, and if you get this place in the northwest, you can get the convenience of Zhongzhou......"
Xi Zhicai took advantage of the wine and said a lot of things and people were safe, and the road to all directions was also a place for four battles. Yan Xing nodded. Dong's army drove directly to Yuzhou in the first battle. In addition to the fact that Kong Qichang did not know the military and had no ability to bully, he also had some considerations in this regard.
When commenting on the customs and rhythms of the states and advocating that the fortune of Yuzhou was long, Yan Xing first chuckled and said it was his family's words, but after he finished speaking, he thought about it carefully, and he felt that his intention was profound and even he was a little afraid. Liu Bang, the former Han Dynasty's Pei Gong, and the Cao family in Qiao County, are not all in an orderly manner, and the civil and military cooperation can be used to have a long fortune in the chaotic world of competing for the world!
When I heard Xi Zhicai talked about Songshan, Yan Xing knew that it was the Zhongyue Songshan in later generations, and said with a smile:
"The mountains of Song are so steep that Yan wanted to see them. If you are traveling tomorrow, you will definitely get on the car and come to ask me to lead the beauty of the mountains and rivers! But I want to know why I only talk about the mountains and rivers in Yangcheng, not other places in Yuzhou. The mountains and rivers in Yangdi are beautiful, and I am just trying to understand them!"
Xi Zhicai listened to Yan Xing's words, but the wine cup in his hand was not stopped. His whole face was already red. He reached out and swayed, and said drunkenly:
"I won't talk anymore, I won't talk anymore. I've already said enough nonsense after drinking. If I talk about it again, I'm afraid that the war horses sold from the north will travel all the wheat fields of our Yangdi and Yingyin counties tomorrow!"
There is something in this sentence, and it also has a sharp edge. When faced with Xi Zhicai's drunken words, Yan Xing's expression changed slightly. If Xi Zhicai had just doubted his identity before, then he would have pointed to his own background now.
Just looking at Xi Zhicai's drunkenness, Yan Xing saw with his own eyes that he had drunk most of the fine wine. It was really hard to be sure whether Xi Zhicai was really drunk, or was fake drunk, or half-awake.
Liu Qiao, who was watching, saw that Yan Xing's face changed, and he felt nervous and quickly said:
"Zhicai was afraid that he was drunk. The bamboo leaf green brought by this was aged wine. Although the entrance was mellow, the momentum was long. He drank too quickly just now, and he was afraid that he was drunk and started talking nonsense again. Yan Jun, why don't we wait, let's leave first."
Facing Liu Qiao's smooth situation, Yan Xing did not comment and said with a smile:
"In the past, Qu Zi of Chu said, 'The world is turbid, I am clear, everyone is drunk, I am awake, so I see it.' If you are not a talented person in the world, how could you have such a witty saying after drinking, half drunk and half awake, showing the elegance of famous scholars. I missed it like this, isn't it a pity? Speaking of Zhuyeqing, I thought that Xijun is good at sharing worries with others. Yan happened to encounter a difficult thing, and I just asked Xijun for her!"
As he spoke, Yan Xing looked at the drunken Xi Zhicai's body that had fallen around, but he still raised his glass to pour wine and kept drinking. As a result, half of the wine in the wine cup was drunk and half on his body, as if he had said, he looked like a drunkard in Yangcheng.
But Yan Xing didn't care whether he was really drunk or fake, and began to ask again:
"It just happened that today is the day of the Spring Club of Yangcheng. In the past, the sacrificial priests in the clan often have uneven distribution of meat and unwilling to accept the old and young people. I am a talented person. Since I can share wine for Liu, I will surely be able to solve my worries and difficulties."
Yan Xing spoke sincerely, but Xi Zhicai, who was drunk, laughed loudly, and was silent and talking to himself.
"This year, there is only human flesh in the Spring Festival, where does the sacrifice meat come from?"
When he heard Xi Zhicai say this, Yan Xing's face finally turned dark. Xi Zhicai said this, which was already deliberately sarcastic that after Liangzhou's troops left Yangcheng, they killed innocent people and looted the people of Yangcheng.
Liu Qiao was also shocked. He had just helped the drunken nonsense Xi Zhicai make a comeback. Why did Xi Zhicai make another mess? He picked up the taboo of Yan Duwei and said that he was afraid that Yan Xing would attack on the spot, so he quickly grabbed the wine cup tightly in Xi Zhicai's hand, then picked up the hot soup on the table and drank a few sips. When Liu Qiao poured it into the bed, he spitted a lot of wine under the bed with a wow sound.
"Zhicai, wake up quickly, wake up!"
Liu Qiao urged him while patting Xi Zhicai's back. When Xi Zhicai patted him like this, he seemed to have become a little more awake. After a while, he smiled slightly and asked:
"I haven't drunk such a good wine for a long time. I guess I was intoxicated by it and couldn't extricate myself. Zigao, where did I say?"
"You, I was so drunk just now. Yan Jun has a question to ask you!"
Liu Qiao didn't dare to mention what Xi Zhicai had just said, and quickly said the question Yan Xing had just asked again. Xi Zhicai pondered for a moment and quickly said with a smile:
"What's the difficulty of dividing the meat sacrifice? You just need to take the knife and ask the young and old to pick first, and then pick the ones. The person who is the main sword will naturally not dare to be selfish, and the meat sacrifice will be evenly divided, and the young and old who get the meat will be in the same mind and will have no complaints."
When Yan Xing heard Xi Zhicai's answer, he smiled. This was naturally the answer he wanted. If Xi Zhicai had a drink before, it would only mean that he was quick-witted and well-planned. Then, only by making up for today's arrangement of sharing meat, he could see that he was a wise and knowledgeable person who understood human feelings and used human hearts.
And this is exactly the person he is looking for.
Xi Zhicai did not care whether Yan Xing's face changed color or smiled. After he was forcibly sobered up, he wanted to pour wine and drink it. No matter how Liu Qiao stopped it, he could not stop it. He did not respond to Yan Xing's praise for him. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he suddenly became crazy. After getting off the bed barefoot, he held the wine cup and danced back and forth in the room, laughing and saying:
"In the past, Chen Ping, the Marquis of Qu Ni, was the priest of the local government. The branch sacrificed meat every day. Because the meat was very even, the elders of the local government said, "Good, Chen Ruzi is the priest!" Chen Ping sighed when he heard this and said, "Alas, if Ping can slaughter the world, it will be like this meat!"
"I am a talented person who claims to be as talented as Chen Ping. How can I measure my knowledge in my heart by dividing wine and meat? A real man lives in the world and takes advantage of the situation. He should slaughter the world and divide the mountains and rivers by profit. Only then can he live in the heart and live up to what he has learned! Come on, let's drink some more for your and my talents!"
After saying that, Xi Zhicai forced Yan Xing and Liu Qiao to drink again. Unfortunately, the wine had already been drunk. Xi Zhicai was boring for a moment and threw the wine cup on the table. He hugged Liu Qiao's head and started crying, and sang bitterly in his mouth:
"The slag in the south mountain, the white stones rot, and the birth will not be affected by Yao and Shun. Short cloth and single clothes are suitable for the japanese, and the ox is thin from the middle of the night. When will the long night be long?"
The song "Kujiao Song" sung by Xi Zhicai, also known as "Fanniu Song", is said to be a man from Wei Ning Qi fed a cow outside the east gate of Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period. When Duke Huan came out, he sang this song, lamenting that the wise and talented people could not have a wise ruler in Wei, and he did not meet a wise ruler in Qi, so later generations used it as an allusion for poor men to seek to use the world.
Yan Xing naturally wanted to be the wise master of Xi Zhicai, but unfortunately Xi Zhicai did not sing the second half of the song "The Song of the Knock", and he held Liu Qiao's headache and was sore. Liu Qiao was hugged by him for a while, as if he was also infected by Xi Zhicai's sadness of not being appreciated. The two cried and sang, and sang a poem again.
Xi Zhicai sang:
"The river is clear and the life cannot be delayed. The grass is so popular that the rich are called virtuous. Although the literature is full of money, it is not as good as a bag of money. In Yiyoubei Hall, it is in the gate to resist the dirt."
Liu Qiaohe said:
"There are many people who are good at it. They cough and saliva and make pearls; they are covered with gold and jade, and orchids are turned into straw. Although the wise men understand it alone, they are trapped in the foolish people. They will keep their own things and do not drive away in the air. How sad it is, this is my fate!"
This poem comes from the "Assassination of the World's Evil Fu" by Zhao Yi, a famous Hanyang scholar during the reign of Emperor Ling of this dynasty. Although Zhao Yi was very talented and well-known, he was recommended by Yin Yangzhi of Henan and Yuan Pang of Situ, but in the end, he refused to serve in the official position because of the dangerous court and lived in his family. His "Assination of the World's Evil Fu" is said to have fully expressed the darkness of the current court, the powerful and powerful families asked for monopoly, and the poor scholars were desperate.
Yan Xing naturally knew a little about the "The Story of Cynical Evil Fu" by famous scholars in Tongzhou. When he saw Xi Zhicai and Liu Qiao hugging each other, singing and crying. Xi Zhicai was deeply moved, drinking, snot, and tears flowed all over his body. Liu Qiao was forced to hold him, and he could only feel bitter together and cry loudly. But his crying was a bit forced.
Yan Xing listened to Xi Zhicai's singing and felt the sadness of the drunkard, Ji Zhicai's unhappy heart. Speaking of which, since he joined the army, he has suffered repeated setbacks and was full of the eyes and ridicule of powerful people. The tumbling block in his heart is unwilling to express. Where should he vent his ambitions and prides of different ordinary people?
However, Yan Xing finally believed that "the old age should be stronger and the poor should be stronger", so he could never give up. A man should immediately gain fame, rather than using the things in this cup to drown his sorrows and relieve his worries. He wanted to recruit talents from the Ai Ai, not only should he be a confidant who knew his talents, but also to tell him that he was the wise master who could lead him out of trouble and trouble, from the trouble of slaughtering meat and wine by poor men, to the great cause of a real man to slaughter the world and divide mountains and rivers.
Thinking of this, Yan Xing drank the wine in the glass in one go, suddenly got up, drew his sword out of the sheath, which scared Liu Qiao to cry, but Xi Zhicai's cry still had no intention of stopping, as if he was in a state of drunkenness and madness.
Yan Xing looked solemn and said solemnly:
"A gentleman sees the opportunity, and a master knows his fate. He should become stronger and stronger when he is old. He would rather move his heart to turn his head back? He would become stronger and stronger when he is poor, and he would not lose his ambition. Today, he sang "The Song of Knocks", and I just happened to have a song to reconcile."
After saying that, Yan Xing took a big step and raised his sword to dance. Although he was using a knife, he danced with a sword technique. He was able to splash his sword light, and he was able to move forward and retreat freely, and chanted loudly with his moves:
"The golden cup of wine costs ten thousand yuan, and the jade plate of delicacies costs ten thousand yuan.
I can't eat when I stop the cup and throw the chopsticks, and I draw my sword and look around at my heart at a loss.
If you want to cross the river and block the ice, you will climb the mountain with snow all over Taihang.
When I was free to fish and sit on the stream, I suddenly rode a boat and dreamed of the sun."
After singing here, Yan Xing's aura suddenly surged a little further. The gust of wind brought by the ring sword in his hand forced Liu Qiao to open his eyes. For a moment, the room was filled with sword lights. In line with his masculine and rapid sword technique, his loud and generous singing voices were his.
"It is difficult to walk, it is difficult to walk, and there are many misaligned roads. Now we are here.
Chapter completed!
