: Pang Shiyuan talks about the current s
Sima Hui never talked about the shortcomings of others. When talking to others, he never asked others’ likes or dislikes, and he always said good things. Someone in the township once greeted him, and he replied, “Yes.” Once, someone told Sima Hui of the death of his son, Sima Hui replied: “Very good.” When Sima Hui’s wife found out, she blamed him: “People think you have a noble morality, so tell you. Why did you suddenly hear that someone else’s son is dead, and say good to others!” Sima Hui replied, “Your words It’s also very good.”
Someone once lost a pig and said that Sima Hui’s pig was the one he lost. Sima Hui gave the pig to this person. A few days later, the man got the pig that was lost earlier, and hurriedly returned Sima Hui’s pig, and kowtow to himself. Instead of scolding him, Sima Hui thanked him for sending the pig back. In terms of being indifferent to fame and fortune, Sima Decao can be called the first.
Once, Liu Cong, Liu Biao’s son, went to see Sima Hui, and Liu Cong asked his entourage to ask if Sima Hui was at home. Sima Hui was farming at home and replied, “I am.” But Congren didn’t believe it, and yelled at him: “You, a farmer, dare to claim to be Sima Hui.” So Sima Hui had no choice but to go home, comb his hair, wear a turban, and put on his coat to see Liu Cong. . The entourage saw that Sima Hui was still the old man and told Liu Cong in horror. Liu Cong got up and kowtowed to Sima Hui, and apologized to Sima Hui. Sima Hui said to Liu Cong: “You don’t have to be like this, I am very ashamed of this. I farm by myself, and only you understand me.”
Once, a silkworm raised by someone should be cocooned, and there was nowhere to tuft, so he came to borrow tuft foil from Sima Hui’s family. Sima Hui lent him the tufted foil from his own home. Someone said to him: “Every time you lend something to others, it is a situation where you are in urgent need and you are idle; and now he and you desperately need the foil, why do you give it to others?” Sima Hui replied, “Some people don’t ask for it. Myself, if I don’t lend him, he will feel very ashamed. Where is the reason to be ashamed because of property?”
To be honest, big Confucianists and Confucian scholars like Pound and Sima Decao have long seen everything through and are indifferent and self-sufficient.
Pang Tong, named Shiyuan, named Fengchu, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, is exactly thirty-two years old this year. He is the best age for scholars.
Pang Tong was simple when he was a child, but he didn’t look smart on the surface. Shi Yingchuan Sima Hui was elegant and good at knowing people. When Pang Tong was twenty years old, he went to visit him. Sima Hui sat on a mulberry tree to pick mulberries, while Pang Tong sat under the tree. The two talked with each other. From day to night, Sima Hui was amazed at Pang Tong, saying that no one in Nanzhou could compare with Pang Tong. With the words of Sima Hui, Pang Tong gradually became known. Xu Shu once said to scholars, “Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Cubs, you will be safe in the world!” Pang Tong used to judge good or bad with Yangzhou Lu Ji and Gu Shao, and claimed to have the ability to assist the emperor. Standing at thirty, Pang Shiyuan was passionate about becoming an official.
Someone once asked Pang Tong: “In your opinion, is Lu Ji better than Gu Shao?” Pang Tong said, “Although the horse is excellent, it only takes one person. The horse walks thirty miles a day, and the load is only one person. What about the weight?” It is said that Gu Shao went to see Pang Tong and lived with Pang Tong, and the two talked. Gu Shao asked: “You have a reputation for knowing people. Tell me, who is better than you?” Pang Tong said: “When it comes to cultivating the world and comprehensively analyzing characters, I can’t compare to you, but if you talk to the emperor I’m better than you if you make suggestions.” Gu Shao thought Pang Tong’s words were reasonable, and got close to him and became a good friend.
Pang Tong was later enlisted as a meritorious actor by his county. He liked to evaluate people and cultivate the reputation of others, so the people he evaluated often exceeded the actual talents of the person. People felt very strange about this, so they asked Pang Tong. Pang Tong said: “There is a great chaos today, and the way of justice is gradually declining. There are few good people and many evil people. I want to raise up such a custom to promote the right way, so I want to promote it. If you don’t do this, there will be fewer and fewer good people. If five out of ten people can improve, half of the matter can be accomplished, and the goal of educating the world can be achieved so that those with aspirations can encourage themselves Own, isn’t this okay?” At this time, Pang Tong was a great celebrity in Jingxiang’s nine counties, but his official career was not smooth, and he fell into a bureaucracy.
Today, Pound and Sima Decao came to express their condolences to Liu Jingzhou and brought him here to show off his talents in front of everyone.
Two brothers Liu Cong, Cai Hong, Madam Cai, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue personally came to the gate of the prefecture, opened the middle door, and greeted each other with gifts. Pang Degong, Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui, and “Feng Young” Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan hurriedly responded. Accompanied by the great figures in Jingzhou, the three men walked in through the central door with their heads high and came to the lobby. Before Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng’s coffin, they held the incense and bowed their heads for a few prayers.
After the ceremony, Cai Wei and his group let the three of them into the quiet room, and they met with each other again, and they talked about their ambitions. At this time, it was already noon. “Pang Gong and Mr. Shui Jing are rare to visit, as well as the’Phoenix Young’ Mr. Pang Shiyuan. It’s midday, I think, let’s have dinner in the mansion.” Cai Hao gave a salute and smiled. Pound and Sima De did this for Pang Shiyuan’s future. Upon hearing this, I was immediately overjoyed. “So, I’ll harass General Degui waiting!”
Pound and Sima Decao hurriedly replied. “Where did the harassment come from? The two gentlemen are well-known moral gentlemen, even when Liu Jingzhou was alive, they are rare to see. Today, Shaozhou Mu has just succeeded to the throne, and the two are here. It is really an honor for me to wait. Ah! Today, I must be drunk and have no return!” Cai Hao laughed loudly. He was appointed by Liu Biao as an important minister, and he must always consider Liu Cong.
The scholars of this dynasty are extremely broad-minded, pay attention to “things die as things live”, and the Han Dynasty has a profound heritage, and there is no red tape. At the funeral, people would cry as usual, but after crying, the big guys would have to drink and sing, and get away with joy. Only in this way, the deceased who sleeps under Jiuquan will be happy. Why? His old friends did not forget him.
When Liu Jingzhou was alive, he paid attention to food and clothing, and the cooks in the prefecture were always handsome. After a while, the dishes were generally served with flowing water. Each dish is delicious in color, fragrance, and meat and vegetables. “Drinking! Longevity for Liu Jingzhou!” Cai Hao first toasted. The glass cup in his hand was amber-colored fine wine. “Drinking! Longevity for Zhu Jun!” Liu Cong also toasted. He was a teenager, and he drank the harsh Zhao Jiu, just like the one in the Pang Tong Cup. Pound and Sima Decao are getting older, and they are drinking water and wine that is not distilled. “Drinking! Longevity for Liu Jingzhou!” Everyone toasted together, covering their faces with big sleeves, and drank them all in one go.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and seeing that the atmosphere is almost the same, Cai Wei glanced at the Kuaijia brothers and motioned them to speak. Kuai Yue looked at his elder brother who lowered his head to drink and eat vegetables, coughed, and finally spoke. “Dare to ask Pang Gong and Mr. Shui Jing, what do you know about the current situation?” Upon hearing this, Pang De and Sima De looked at each other and couldn’t disagree.
“Yandu, we are both very old. We only know how to travel in the mountains and play in the water, and we have been ignoring the affairs of the world for many years! If you are asking about the current situation, you still have to ask Shi Yuan. . He and Zhuge Kongming have a strong friendship, and often laugh and talk about the general trend of the world. Now, Kong Ming is already the third-level scholar of the same middle school, Pingzhang, the director of history. “Pang Degong smiled slightly, pointing to Pang Tong and said.
“Oh? There is still this matter? So, I will ask Shi Yuan for advice!” Hearing this, even Cai Hao couldn’t sit still. “I don’t dare to teach, Pang Tong has some experience. Well, just say it and share it with the monarchs!” Pang Tong said with a big grin. As a result, his big head became even more ugly. Mrs. Cai, who was sitting here, looked disgusted, and quickly picked up a glass of wine to drink.
“In today’s current situation, Wen Wang Lu Bu will definitely launch a war, trying to determine the world in a single battle!” Pang Tong opened his sect and stated his conclusion first. “In my opinion, the war will definitely break out when you are caught off guard, and it will be in a place that no one can think of.” “This??????” Liu Cong was a little disdainful. I bother! What do you still need to say? Who is not in the mirror in the hearts of all of you?
“Dare to ask Shi Yuan, where is this place that no one can think of?” Kuai Liang put down his chopsticks. “Yizhou!” Pang Tong said categorically. “Shiyuan was saying, will the Han army go south from Hanzhong?” Liu Cong asked with interest. “No! No!” Pang Tong shook his head like a rattle. “Liu Jingzhou suddenly collapsed, and the scholars thought that the Han army was going to attack Jingzhou. He thought it was impossible! Why, among the four states of Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, Yizhou is dangerous and partial. It is the most difficult to determine. The first fight must be Yizhou! In my opinion, Lu Zheng will definitely go to Jiaozhou and expedition to Yizhou not far away!” Pang Tong said in a loud voice, twisting his beard.
“Hahahahahahaha!” Upon hearing this, Liu Cong burst out laughing. “Shiyuan, how is this possible? Lu Zhengyuan is in Guishuang, tens of thousands of miles away from Yizhou. Not to mention whether he has the courage to expedition to Yizhou, even if there is, there are poor mountains and rivers along the way, inaccessible places. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people. The army, how many are left to reach Chengdu? Really laugh me!”
“No! No!” Pang Tong’s head was shaking like a rattle again. “Shaozhou Mu only knows one thing and does not know the other. Who is Lu Zheng? He is the world’s leading genius commander! Before he was weak, he defeated the Guishuang Empire, waited for years to use soldiers, and cannibalize Hindustan. If he would follow The southern part of Jiaozhou goes northward along the river, and from Jiaozhou into the southern part of Yizhou and Jingzhou, the general trend will go!”
“The theory of scholars and yuan is really unpredictable! Come on! Drink!” Cai Tao raised his wine cup, and the dispute came to an end.
