Chapter 38 The thirty-seventh chapter Sima Hui recommends the celebrity Liu Xuande again

But it was said that Xu Shu was on his way to Xuchang.Knowing that Xu Shu had arrived, Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other advisers to meet him.The concubine went to the prime minister's mansion to meet Cao Cao.Cao said: "Your Majesty is a wise man, why do you stoop to serve Liu Bei?"The concubine said: "A young man fled, wandered in the rivers and lakes, and occasionally went to Xinye, so he had a good relationship with Xuande.My mother is here, and I am very grateful for her kindness and compassion.Cao said: "Now that you are here, you can serve the Lingtang morning and evening, and I have to listen to Qing's instruction."The concubine came out with thanks.He rushed to see his mother, weeping and worshiping under the hall.The mother was shocked and said, "Why are you here?"The concubine said: "It's close to Xinye, Liu Yuzhou; because I got my mother's book, so the starry night comes here."Xu's mother was furious, and she beat the case and scolded, "I'm humiliating my son!"After wandering around the rivers and lakes for several years, I thought you had made progress in your studies, so why not not as good as when you started!If you read books, you must know that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both.Don't you know that Cao Cao is a thief who deceives the king?Liu Xuande's benevolence and righteousness are spread all over the world, and what's more, he is the leader of the Han Dynasty. If you serve him, you will be the master.Now, relying on a fake book, let alone carefully inspecting it, he abandoned the light and turned to the dark, gaining a bad name for himself, what a fool!What face do I have to meet you!You humiliated your ancestors, and you were born in the ears of heaven and earth!Xu Shu was so scolded that he fell to the ground and dared not look up.The mother went after turning into the screen.After a while, the family published a newspaper saying: The old lady hanged between the beams.When Xu Shu rushed to the rescue in a panic, his mother's anger was gone.Later generations have "Xu Mu Zan" saying:

Xianzai Xu's mother, she has a long-lasting fragrance; keeping the festival is not bad, it is beneficial to the family; she teaches a lot, and she suffers from herself; her spirit is like a hill, and her righteousness comes from her heart; she praises Yuzhou and destroys Wei Wu; she is not afraid of cauldrons and knives; she is not afraid of knives and axes; Fearing that the heirs will humiliate the ancestors; if the sword is in the same stream, the machine will be broken; if you live by your name, you will die by your place: virtuous mother Xu, who will last forever! When Xu Shu saw that his mother was dead, he wept to the ground, and he died for a long time.Cao Cao sent people to pay tribute to him, and then went to pay homage in person.Xu Shu buried his mother's coffin in Nanyuan, Xuchang, and stayed in the funeral to guard the tomb.Whatever Cao Cao bestowed, the concubine would not accept.

At that time, Cao wanted to discuss the southern expedition.Xun Yu remonstrated: "It's too cold to use soldiers; wait until the spring is warm before we can make great progress."Cao followed it by diverting the water from the Zhang River to make a pool named Xuanwu Pool, and trained the navy in the interior to prepare for the southern expedition. But Xuande was arranging gifts and wanted to go to Longzhong to pay homage to Zhuge Liang. Suddenly, someone reported: "There is a gentleman outside the door, with a belt of Eguan Bo, who is very moral, and I am here to find out."Xuande said: "Is this not Kong Ming?"Then he dressed up and went out to meet him.Look at it, it is Sima Huiye.Xuande is overjoyed, please sit in the back hall, and ask, "Be prepared to say goodbye to your beauty. I have missed my visit because of military affairs."Now that I am honored, I will greatly comfort the selfishness of admiration.Hui said: "I heard that Xu Yuanzhi is here, so I'm here for a while."Xuande said: "Recently because Cao Cao imprisoned his mother, Xu's mother sent someone to write a letter to call back to Xuchang."Hui said: "This is Cao Cao's plan!"I have heard that Xu's mother is the most virtuous, although she is imprisoned by Cao, she will not write a letter to call her son: this book must be a fraud.If Yuanzhi didn't go, his mother still survived; if he went today, his mother would die.Xuande asked why.Hui said: "Xu's mother is so righteous that she will be ashamed to see her son."Xuande said: "Yuan Zhi is on his way and recommends Zhuge Liang from Nanyang. Who is he like?"Hui smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi wants to go, so he's gone. Why make him come out and vomit his pains?"Xuande said, "Why did you say that, sir?"Hui said: Kong Ming, Cui Zhouping of Boling, Shi Guangyuan of Yingchuan, Meng Gongwei of Runan and Xu Yuanzhi are close friends.These four people are pure and simple, but Kong Ming only sees the general plan.He hugged his knees and chanted a long time, and pointed to four people and said: "Officials such as the public can go to the governor and county guard."Everyone asked Kong Ming what his ambition was, but Kong Ming just laughed and didn't answer.Often compared with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, his talent is immeasurable.Xuande said: "how many virtuous people are there in Yingchuan?"Hui said: In the past, there was Yin Kui who was good at observing astronomy. It is said that the stars gather in Yingfen, and there must be many wise men in the land.Shi Yunchang said from the side: I heard that Guan Zhong and Le Yi were celebrities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and their achievements covered the world.Isn't it too much for Kong Ming to compare these two?Hui smiled and said: "From my point of view, I shouldn't compare these two people; I want to compare them with another two."Yun Chang asked: Those two people?Hui said: It can be compared with Jiang Ziya, who was 800 years old in Xingzhou, and Zhang Zifang, who was 400 years old in Wanghan Dynasty.Everyone was stunned.Hui Xiajie said goodbye.Xuande can't stay.Hui went out and looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying: "Although Wolong has its master, it's not the right time, what a pity!"After all, drift away.Xuande sighed and said: "A true reclusive sage!"

The next day, Xuande came to Longzhong with Guan, Zhang and others.Looking at several people by the mountainside, they are plowing in the fields with lotus hoes, and they sing: The sky is like a dome, and the land is like a chessboard.The world divides black and white, and fights for honor and disgrace.Those who are honored will be at ease, those who are humiliated will be mediocre.In Nanyang, there is seclusion, and there is not enough sleeping space. When Xuande heard the song, he reined in his horse and called the farmer to ask, "Who wrote this song?"The answer was: it was made by Mr. Wolong.Xuande said, "where does Mr. Wolong live?"The farmer said: From the south of this mountain, there is a high hill in the area, which is Wolonggang.In the thatched hut in the forest in front of the hill, it is the place where Mr. Zhuge lies high.Xuande thanked him and rode his horse forward.Not counting miles, looking at Wolonggang in the distance, the scenery is indeed abnormal.There is an ancient style in later generations, which is the residence of Wolong with a single road.The poem says:

Twenty miles to the west of Xiangyang City, there is a high hill resting on flowing water: the high hill bends and presses the roots of the clouds, and the flowing water rips and flies the stone marrow;The chaimen half-closed the thatched hut, and some tall people couldn't lie down.Xiuzhu intertwines with green screens, and wild flowers flock in four seasons.There are yellow scrolls piled up on the head of the bed, and there are no white people on the seat.When knocking on the gray ape, I offer fruit, and the gatekeeper crane listens to scriptures at night.Inside the bag is a famous piano and ancient brocade, and there are seven stars hanging on the sword on the wall.Mr. Luzhong is lonely and elegant, and he works hard to cultivate the crops in his spare time: he only waits for the spring thunder to wake up from his dream, and a long howl to calm the world.

When Xuande came to the village, he got off his horse and knocked on the chai gate. A boy came out to ask questions. Xuande said, "General Yicheng Tinghou of the Han Dynasty led Yuzhou Muhuangshu Liu Beite to pay a visit to Mr. Liu Bei."The boy said: I can't remember many names.Xuande said: You only said that Liu Bei came to visit.The boy said: "Sir, you don't go out this morning."Xuande said, "where did you go?"The boy said: "The trace is uncertain. I don't know where I went."Xuande said: "When will I return?"The boy said: "The return date is also uncertain, maybe three to five days, or ten or so days."Xuande was very melancholy.Zhang Fei said: "I don't see you, just go back."Xuande said, "wait for a while."Yun Chang said: "It's better to go back now, and then let people come to find out."Xuande followed his words and asked Fu Tongzi: If Mr. Hui returns, it can be said that Liu Bei will visit.

Then he got on his horse and walked for a few miles. He reined in his horse and looked back at the scenery in Longzhong. Sure enough, the mountains are not high but elegant, the water is not deep but clear; the land is not wide but flat, the forest is not big but lush; : Watch endlessly.Suddenly, I saw a man with a dignified appearance and a handsome appearance, wearing a kerchief on his head and a soap cloth robe. He came from a secluded path in the mountain.Xuande said: This must be Mr. Wolong!Hastily got off the horse and saluted forward, and asked, "Isn't Mr. Crouching Dragon?"The man said: Who is the general?Xuande said: "Liu Bei too."The man said: I am not Kong Ming, but a friend of Kong Ming: Cui Zhouping of Boling.Xuande said: I have heard about the great name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet you.Begging to sit on the ground, please teach me a word.The two sat opposite each other on a stone in the forest, with Guan and Zhang standing beside them.Zhou Ping said: "Why does the general want to see Kong Ming?"Xuande said: "Fang is in great chaos today, and there are disturbances from all directions. I want to see Kong Ming and ask for a strategy to stabilize the country."Zhou Ping said with a smile: "The public mainly focuses on ordering chaos. Although it is a benevolent heart, since ancient times, chaos has been impermanent. Years, peace for a long time, Wang Mang usurped rebellion, from rule to chaos; When the governance is in chaos, it cannot be settled suddenly.The general wants Kong Ming to mediate (2) heaven and earth, to mend (3) heaven and earth, but it may not be easy, and it will take a lot of effort.Don't you hear that those who obey the sky are free, and those who go against the sky are tired and counted, but they can't be rationalized and seized; where fate is, people can't be strong?Xuande said: "What Mr. said is sincerely a high opinion."But as a man of the Han Dynasty, he is fit to help the Han family, so why dare to entrust his numbers and orders?Zhou Ping said: "The husbands of the mountains and fields are not good enough to talk about the affairs of the world. They are suitable for asking questions, so they speak falsely."Xuande said: "Mr. Meng saw the teaching."But I don't know where Kong Ming went?Zhouping said: "I also want to visit it, but I don't know where it is going."Xuande said, "please come to our county together, sir. How about it?"Zhou Ping said: Foolishness enjoys idleness, and has no intention of fame and fame for a long time; see you again someday.When he finished speaking, he bowed and left.Xuande, Guan and Zhang rode on horseback.Zhang Fei said: "Kong Ming couldn't visit again, but he met this corrupt Confucian and chatted for a long time!"Xuande said: This is also the word of the hermit.

The three returned to Xinye. After a few days, Xuande sent someone to inquire about Kong Ming.The report said: Mr. Wolong has returned.Xuande then taught how to prepare horses.Zhang Fei said: "If you measure a villager, why do you have to go by yourself, you can be summoned."Xuande scolded and said: Haven't you heard Mencius said: If you want to see a virtuous person but don't follow his way, you still want him to enter and close the door.Kongming is a great sage in the world, how can he be called!So he got on his horse and went to visit Kong Ming again.Guan and Zhang followed each other on horseback.It was the middle of winter, the weather was severe cold, and the clouds were densely covered.After traveling for countless miles, suddenly the wind is majestic, and the auspicious snow is falling; the mountains are like jade clusters, and the forest is like silver makeup.Zhang Fei said: "It's cold and freezing, and you don't need soldiers. How can you see the useless people far away?"It's better to go back to Xinye to avoid the wind and snow.Xuande said: "I am just trying to make Kongming know my intention of being diligent."If the younger generation is afraid of the cold, they can go back first.Fei said: "Don't be afraid of death, how can you be afraid of the cold!"But I am afraid that my brother will be exhausted.Xuande said: "Don't talk too much, just go with each other."Near the thatched cottage, I suddenly heard someone singing in a hotel by the road.Xuande listened immediately.The song says:

The fame of the strong man has not yet been achieved, so it has been a long time since he met Yangchun!Don't you see: the old man in the East China Sea bid farewell to Jing Zhen, and then married King Wen in the rear car; the eight hundred princes did not expect to meet, and the white fish entered the boat and crossed Mengjin;Also not seen: Gaoyang drunkard was drafting, long bowed to Mangdang Long Zhungong; talked about kings and bullies astonishing ears, stopped washing and continued to sit on Qin Yingfeng; went east to Qicheng seventy-two, and no one in the world could follow him.The deeds of the two are still like this, so far who is willing to talk about heroes?

After singing, another person hit Zhuo and sang.The song says: My emperor lifts the sword to clean the world, and has established a business for four hundred years.In Huanling Jiye, Huo's morality declined, and treacherous officials and thieves tuned in Dingnai.The snake flew down to the side of the imperial seat, and saw the demon rainbow descending to the Yutang.Groups of thieves gather in all directions like ants, and a hundred generations of treacherous heroes are all eagles.My friend Chang Xiaokong clapped his hands and came to the village shop to drink village wine.Take care of yourself and live in peace, why do you need immortality through the ages!

After the two sang, they clapped their hands and laughed.Xuande said: Is Wolong here?So he dismounted and entered the shop.Seeing two people drinking together at the table: the one with white face and long beard at the top, and the one with strange ancient appearance at the bottom.Xuande bowed to him and asked, "Who is Mr. Wolong, Ergong?"The man with the long beard said: "Who is the gentleman?"Why do you want to find Wolong?Xuande said: "Someone is Liu Bei."I want to visit Mr., and seek the art of helping the world and the people.The man with the long beard said: We are not Wolong, we are all friends of Wolong: I am Shi Guangyuan from Yingchuan, and this is Meng Gongwei from Runan.Xuande said happily: "I have heard the name of the second lord for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet you."Today there are accompanying horses here, dare to invite Er Gong to go to Wolongzhuang to have a talk.Guangyuan said: We are all lazy people in the mountains and fields. We don't care about the affairs of governing the country and the people, so we don't bother to ask.Minggong please get on the horse and look for Wolong. Xuande said goodbye to the two of them, got on his horse and threw himself at Wolonggang; when he got off his horse in front of the village, he knocked on the door and asked the boy, "Is the master in the village today?"The boy said: Now read in class.Xuande was overjoyed, so he went in with the boy.When I arrived at the middle gate, I saw a couplet in the big book on the door: "Indifference is to show ambition, and tranquility leads to long-distance."Xuande was looking at the room, when he suddenly heard the sound of chanting, he stood by the door and peeped at it, and saw above the thatched cottage, a young man embraced the stove and hugged his knees, singing: The phoenix soars thousands of miles away, and it cannot live unless it is a wu;Music is cultivated in Long Mu, and I love my hut; chatting is proud of Qin Shu, waiting for the right time. After Xuande waited for his song, he went to the thatched cottage to salute and said, "Mr. Bei Jiumu, I have no chance to visit you."Yesterday, because of Xu Yuan's direct recommendation, I paid respect to Xianzhuang and never returned.It's really a blessing to come here in the wind and snow today, so I can see the Taoist appearance!The young man hastily replied, "General, is it Liu Yuzhou? Do you want to see your brother?"Xuande was surprised and said: Mr. is not Wolong?The boy said: "This is Zhuge Jun, the younger brother of Wolong."There are three foolish brothers: Zhuge Jin, the eldest brother, is now a guest of Sun Zhongmou in Jiangdong.Kong Ming is the second brother.Xuande said, "Is Wolong at home today?"Jun said: "I met Cui Zhouping yesterday and went out for a leisurely stroll."Xuande said: "Where to hang out?"They all said, "Swim in the rivers and lakes in a small boat; visit monks and Taoists in the mountains; find friends in the villages;Xuande said: Liu Beizhi has such a shallow fate that he has never met a great sage twice!Jun said: Sit less and offer tea.Zhang Fei said: "Mr. is not here, please get on the horse."Xuande said, "how can I come back here without saying a word?"Because I asked Zhuge Jun, "I heard that Mr. Wolong, brother of Ling, is familiar with strategy and reads military books every day. Can you hear it?"Jun said: "I don't know."Zhang Fei said: "If you ask him, what is the matter?"The wind and snow are very tight, it is better to return early.Xuande reprimanded him.Jun said: "My brother is not here, so I dare not stay on the bike for a long time; Rong Ri returns the greetings."Xuande said: "How dare you expect Mr. to drive in vain."A few days later, prepare to come again.I would like to borrow a pen and paper to write a book and leave it to brother Darling to show Liu Bei's hospitality.All then entered the four treasures of the study.Xuande opened the frozen pen, brushed the cloud paper, and wrote a book saying: Beijiu admired the high name, went to the Jin Dynasty twice, and did not return in time, what a melancholy!Stealing the Miao descendants of the Han Dynasty, talking about the famous nobles, subjugating the imperial mausoleum ⑥, the rules and regulations collapsed, the heroes chaotic the country, the evil party bullied the king, and the heart was broken.Although there is the sincerity of Kuangji, there is really no economical strategy.Looking up to Mr. Wang's benevolence and loyalty, generously displaying Lu Wang's great talent, and giving the grand plan of the ovary, the world is very fortunate!Sheji is very fortunate!First go to Buda, and then allow you to fast and smoke and bathe.Tong Xi Jianyuan! After Xuande wrote it, he handed it over to Zhuge Jun and took his leave.They were all sent out, and Xuande paid his respects again and again and said goodbye.Fang got on his horse and was about to go, when he suddenly saw a boy waving his hand outside the fence and shouting, "Old man, come here."Xuande looked at it, and saw to the west of the small bridge, a man covered his head with a warm hat and covered his body with fox fur, riding a donkey, followed by a boy in a cloak, carrying a gourd of wine, walking on snow; turning around the small bridge, reciting poems a.The poem says: The night was cold from the north, and the clouds were thick for thousands of miles.The snow flutters in the sky, changing the old world.Looking up at Taixu, it is suspected that it is a jade dragon fighting: one after another, scales and armor fly, all over the universe in an instant.Riding a donkey across the small bridge, sighing alone that the plum blossoms are thin. Xuande heard the song and said: This is really a crouching dragon!Roll off the saddle and get off the horse, salute forward and say: It's not easy for Mr. to catch a cold!Liu Bei has been waiting for a long time!The man hurriedly got off his donkey to answer the gift.Zhuge Jun said later: "This is not Wolong's brother, but Huang Chengyan, his brother-in-law's father-in-law."Xuande said: "The sentence chanted in Shijian is extremely sublime."Cheng Yan said: "My old man was reading "Liang Fu Yin" at Xiaoyu's house, and I remembered this chapter; when I crossed a small bridge, I occasionally saw plum blossoms among the fences, so I recited it because of my feeling."It is not expected to be heard by distinguished guests.Xuande said, "have you ever seen the order?"Cheng Yan said: "Even the old man came to see him."Xuande heard the words, said goodbye to Chengyan, mounted his horse and returned.When the wind and snow were heavy, looking back at Wolonggang, I was very disconcerted.Later generations have a poem about Xuande visiting Kongming in a snowstorm.The poem says: One day, the wind and snow visited Xianliang, and he was sad when he didn't come back.The frozen Hexi Bridge is slippery with rocks, and the cold invades the pommel horse for a long distance.When the first piece of pear blossoms fell, catkins rushed to the face.Looking back at the place where the whip stopped, there were piles of rotten silver all over Wolonggang. After Xuande returned to Xinye, time flies, and the new year is early.It is to order the divination person to pick up the yarrow ⑨, choose an auspicious date, fast for three days, wash and change clothes, and then go to Wolonggang to pay homage to Kongming.Guan and Zhang Wenzhi were displeased, so they joined Xuande together.It's exactly: Gao Xian did not accept the hero's ambition, but Qu Jie was suspicious of Jie Shi.I don't know what he said, but I will find out below. ① Eguanbo wears a high hat and broadband. ② Mediation here means recovery and transformation. ③ Patch Repairing torn clothes is called patching. ④ Tongyun is the same cloud. When it snows, the color of the cloud is all the same, so it is called the same cloud. ⑤ Encounter There is no date beforehand, but meeting suddenly is called Encounter. ⑥ Mausoleum is corrupted; ⑦ The meaning of being sad and uneasy. ⑧ It means that time goes by gradually. ⑨ Yarrow When divination, the ancients divided forty-nine roots of yarrow into two parts, and then counted the four roots to determine the yin or yang line.This action is called yarrow.
