Chapter 759: A Song of Guangling San
When Li Chuyun asked what famous scholars were around Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Liangshi said that Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Li Gu and others were all famous scholars.
But Li Chuyun was not interested in these high-ranking officials because even if they had the knowledge, they would not say something to a general with a heartfelt position. They had different positions and were involved too much.
Li Liangshi introduced several famous scholars. Li Chuyun only met once, but no longer wanted to meet again. These people either quoted classics and talked about things, or were well versed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting... Li Chuyun was happy to make friends with famous scholars when he was in Guanzhong. After seeing them for a few words, he would know what others were good at.
When the good scholar saw that the lord was not satisfied, he was also very troubled, and pondered: "The person who the lord asked for was not good at reading books, and those who were familiar with the classics and history would be wise. He would probably not be able to do it alone, and he would be familiar with the battlefield of the officialdom and to be able to understand the truth; he would also have to see more knowledge and travel around the world to understand the truth. Those with this qualification would have a talent and wisdom."
After hearing this, Li Chuyun nodded, feeling that Li Liangshi had said a lot over the years, but this sentence made him agree the most.
However, there is another requirement. The world is full of principles, and it is exactly what Li Chuyun needs, which must match his opinion... For example, someone is talking about the benefits of civil servants governing the country and peace in the world in front of Li Chuyun. Even if you say the flowers, will Li Chuyun be satisfied?
"Huh?" Liang Shi suddenly said, "I remembered someone."
Because he had made many difficult requests just now, and then when he came to someone, Li Chuyun suddenly became interested. Unexpectedly, the good man frowned again and said, "But..."
Li Chuyun blurted out, "What's it just?"
The good man said in a deep voice: "But this person has been an aide to the rebel general Li Yun."
"Oh..." Li Chuyun recalled for a moment, "Are you talking about Zhongli?"
Li Liangshi said in surprise: "Lord knows this person?"
Li Chuyun nodded and said, "I heard a little. Although I was in the army, I liked to be a scholar when I was young, and I wanted to be a Confucian general. It's a pity..." He touched his beard seriously, spread his sleeves, looked down at his big and tall figure.
When the good man saw his movements, he almost laughed out loud. Because Li Chuyun's appearance did look like the combination of Guan Gong and Zhang Fei, but he said he wanted to be a Confucian general...
The good man blushed and stared at Li Chuyun. After a long time, he spoke: "The origin of Zhongli is not clear. I heard that he had lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain and made some reputation. Later, when Li Yun heard about his reputation, he asked him to go out to the mountain to be a staff member, and he relied heavily on it. This man has read classics and history, and has traveled around the world as a Taoist priest. He has worked under Li Yun for many years. It is said that he is proficient in the Book of Changes and can divine divination. It's a pity that the pearl is secretly cast..."
Li Chuyun said: "It's okay. This person is an important aide to Li Yun, but he has repeatedly dissuaded Li Yun from treason on the grounds of divination. After he was arrested, I read his questionnaire, so when Li Yun died, he was released. I just don't know what he is, where is he?"
Ryoshi said: "He was arrested in Tokyo and released. He lived in Tokyo. Last time he saw him selling sheep and scattered sheep in the East Market. He seemed to have never been a family and had no children."
Li Chuyun: "..."
Li Chuyun pondered for a moment and said, "After the government dispersed, I am free anyway, so it's okay to meet me. You can make arrangements."
The good man clasped his fists and said, "As for orders."
Unexpectedly, the next day, when Li Chuyun had just returned from the imperial city, he heard from the good man that Zhongli refused to meet! The good man cursed and said, "He said he was old and had no children, so he didn't want to worry about his life anymore. He was all about selling sheep and scattered pieces. If he could be favored by his lord, would he be less rich and frugal?"
After hearing this, Li Chuyun was a little surprised, but soon said calmly: "It's not surprising that literati with some talent always take some airs."
Li Liangshi said: "What the lord said is very true. I guess he wants his lord to invite him in person!"
"Call someone to prepare a car." Li Chuyun said.
"Lord, it's still unclear whether this person has real talent or not."
Li Chuyun stroked his thick beard and smiled and said, "If I believe he is not talented, what else can I do when I see him? If I want to see him, why don't I be sincere?"
After hearing this, Li Liangshi accepted it.
A group of servants wearing unarmored clothes protected Li Chuyun's carriage, and everyone went to Dongshi to find Zhongli.
As we approach Shidong City, the road surface became more and more congested. Tokyo has not suffered any wars for many years, and the market has become more and more prosperous, but the roads are a little short. However, this crowding is a sign of a prosperous era in people's eyes, which means an increase in the population.
"There is Zhongli's shop there." Li Liangshi pointed to a dilapidated flag.
The carriage stopped in front of the shop, but there were shouts and scoldings immediately. Because Li Chuyun did not bring a guard of honor, he was the famous founding duke who didn't know him. They parked the carriage and horses on the road and blocked the road.
The guard was angry and pointed at the back and scolded him. Li Chuyun was very calm and said, "You guys, take the carriage and horses away and wait in a place where there is no crowd."
Li Chuyun is indeed not popular. When he was young, he would care more about other people's respect, because he lacked status, and the more he lacked it... When he really had something, he would not pay much attention to it.
Just then, a sound of piano came from the shop. Li Chuyun was very surprised... He could not imagine that in this noisy city, someone would be willing to play the piano!
He listened for a while and then walked into the simple shop. The sound of the piano stopped abruptly. An old man with gray hair placed his hands on the strings, but said on his mouth: "Celebrity, do you want to drink mutton paste soup?"
Li Chuyun looked back and said, "Come on six bowls."
A teenager walked up happily, rubbed the bench a few times and said, "Please sit down."
Li Chuyun was not interested in this waiter. When he saw Zhongli, he went to serve the soup. Li Chuyun was a little bored, so he chatted with the waiter first: "You work hard and you are very enthusiastic about greeting people. Why are there no other guests?"
The waiter wanted to speak but stopped.
At this time, the elder came over with a bowl and said, "Because it's so unpalatable, I don't even eat it myself."
Li Chuyun smiled and said, "You are the one who wishes to eat."
The elder shook his head and said, "I made soup with my heart. Unfortunately, I am really not good at this method, so I am helpless."
Li Chuyun looked at it. The old man was flowing with hair and beard and wearing a long shirt, and didn't look like a cook. Li Chuyun thought about the meaning of the piano just now. Zhongli might have played the piano because he saw that he was coming, otherwise who would he play it for such a place?
Li Liangshi first contacted Zhongli in the name of the founding Duke. Zhongli thought he was a reckless man and wanted to try to talk to him?
Li Chuyun pondered for a moment and said, "I just heard the song "Guangling San". I heard that it was played by Ji Kang when he was dying, so it was called a masterpiece. But today, this person played this person less than so tragic. If Guangling San is played like this, it will not be Guangling San."
"Huh?" Zhongli's interest suddenly became a little more, "The guest official understands the rhythm?"
Li Chuyun stroked his beard and smiled, "I am the same as a spirit, but I understand everything about the world, so that when I meet a soulmate, I can speak well."
"The guest officer is really interesting. When you go to the mutton shop, you don't think the soup is hard to drink, but you don't think the piano is bad." Zhongli looked at Li Chuyun with a smile.
Li Chuyun also responded: "Wouldn't the old man be more interesting? He went to East City to do business, regardless of business, but he had to play the piano."
"Hahaha..." The two of them raised their heads and laughed. Zhongli said, "It's interesting and interesting. The guest said so, thinking that I was opening a shop here because of Jiang Taigong fishing, and would you like to take the bait?"
Li Chuyun thought for a moment and said, "I think the old man is a drunkard and is not drinking."
Zhongli said: "What's the solution?"
Li Chuyun said: "The drunk man is not drunk for the sake of wine, but for the mountains and rivers. Taigong is not fishing, but King Wen. How can he be fished?"
"Hahaha..." The two looked at each other again and laughed happily.
The two of them laughed after saying a few words, and they were so happy that they were leaning back and forth. The waiter was very innocent and stood beside him with a blank look on his face. Li Liangshi smiled, but it might be a laughing, and it was possible that Li Liangshi, the strategist, did not fully understand.
Li Chuyun refuted Taigong's fishing, saying that he could not be fished, which meant that he did not have the ambition of King Wen of Zhou.
He also understood Zhongli's meaning: If you have the ambition of King Wen, then I won't play with you. Because it's just a mess, it's harmful to others and yourself.
Today, after a long war and hard work among the people, the momentum of unification of the world has taken shape, and fisting a civil war will not benefit the people; the general trend will no longer be the time to compete for the Central Plains. The emperor recovered the sixteen states of Youyun, unified the world, and had civil and military achievements, and was kind to the heroes. If he had two hearts, he would be disloyal and unrighteous. In Li Chuyun's situation, one could not succeed, and the other was not necessary, because he already had a lot.
Li Chuyun also fully agreed with Zhongli's attitude. He just wants to keep what he has and has no other intentions.
"Interesting and interesting." Li Chuyun learned Zhongli's words. Li Chuyun was a Duke of the country and had a prominent family. He had not yet chosen it. Instead, the old man who sold sheep and scattered her first.
Zhongli said: "It's interesting but interesting, but I'm not telling the truth. I'm not good at everything. Guest, please see, I'm not doing this mutton paste soup well."
Li Chuyun nodded and said, "The East City is noisy and hustle and bustle. I want to ask the old man to change to a quiet place. What if I talk about it?"
Zhongli pondered: "But..."
Li Chuyun looked at the shop with great interest, looking down and out. The old man was homeless and seemed to have no money. Why is he picky about it?
Li Chuyun said, "I heard that the big guy is hidden in the city, and the old man is really a big guy." This sentence is really sarcastic.
Zhongli shook his head and said, "I want to hide in the mountains and forests, but the guest officials should know that the market is easier to survive. I am not physically strong at this age, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in the mountains and forests."
"This is the truth." Li Chuyun nodded, "Since the old man is really good, he should know a lighter way of living than the market. Why don't hesitate?"
Zhongli simply said, "Let me, let me take a divination first."
After hearing this, Li Chuyun said, what did he sing? What does it mean? He didn't understand it for a while, so he asked, "How to divine?"
