Chapter 6 Debate among Confucians
Lu Chou said with a smile: "Let me think about it for a moment."
After saying that, he walked around Cai Yong's mansion three times. Lu Cui thought Lu Chou could not do it, so he wanted to laugh at Lu Chou. As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Lu Chou slowly recite the first sentence: "Yan Dan is good at cultivating scholars, and is determined to repay his strong victory."
Lu Cui just spitted the words to his mouth but swallowed them, but listened to see what kind of poems this young man, who was actually less than ten years old, could recite.
Then, Lu Chou chanted faster and faster, saying word by word, "Charge a centurion, and get Jing Qing at the end of the year. A gentleman died and raised his sword out of Yanjing. Su Ji sang a loudly and generously. He was a hero who was angry and rushed to the long tassels. Drinking the water, the four heroes lined up. He gradually left and beat the building and sadly, Song Yi sang loudly. The whistle and cold waves were born. Shang Yin shed tears, and the feathers were shocked. He knew that he would not return, and he had a reputation in his later generations. When would he take a look at the car? He flew into the Qin court. He crossed thousands of miles and winded across thousands of cities. When did he go to the camp to lose his life? The master was stunned. Unfortunately, his swordsman was silent, and his extraordinary achievements were not achieved! Although he had died, he had feelings for thousands of years."
After saying that, Lu Chou let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
Lu Cui couldn't speak, but was stunned for a while.
Lu Chou was not surprised to see Lu Cui’s reaction. After all, this was also the "Ode to Jing Ke" written by the great writer Tao Yuanming later. Although this poem is not as famous as Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Garden and the Fields" and "The Peach Blossom Land", it would be shocking if it came from the mouth of a child under ten years old.
Sure enough, Lu Chou also achieved the effect he wanted. As soon as this poem was released, Lu Cui was speechless.
Although this poem seems mediocre, it expresses its dissatisfaction with the political darkness of the dynasty. It is of special significance to cooperate with this current situation.
However, after chanting it twice, Cai Yong sighed, "It's indeed a good poem, and Jing Ke is considered a righteous man, and he can sing and cherry."
Lu Chou smiled and said, "Looking at the broken mountains and rivers today, I once thought that if there were a righteous man like Jing Ke and Yan Dan who could attract talents, there would be no worries in the world."
Then, Lu Chou said with some regret: "It's just a pity that Jing Ke and Yi Shui parted, but he didn't make any achievements."
Lu Cui bowed and said, "My brother is proud, brother admires him."
After saying that, Lu Cui did not want to pester it, but retreated aside and said nothing more.
Because if Lu Cui asked himself, he could only write about Lu Chou's level. However, Lu Cui was a few years older than Lu Chou, so he had to admit defeat.
On the other hand, another person stood up and said with a smile: "Poetry is a path after all, I wonder if my good brother might write an essay?"
When Lu Chou heard another person coming out, calling poetry a small path. He thought that this person might have to take the exam from another place. It was not enough. Lu Chou was not afraid and said with a smile: "Although Ziyu is not talented, he also understands some of the basics. If his brother does not abandon him, please give him a title."
The man thought for a while and said, "Since my virtuous brother is polite to Mr. Cai, I believe my virtuous brother must be well versed in the ways of master and apprentice. Then, let me write an essay on the master and apprentice as the topic, can I write an essay?"
When Lu Chou heard this, he thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm so ugly."
Then, Lu Chou said slowly: "In ancient times, scholars must have had a teacher. Teachers are the ones who preached the Tao and learned the karma and solved the doubts. Who can be without confusion? If you don't follow the teacher, you will never understand the confusion. If you are born before me, you will definitely be ahead of me. If you are born after me, you will also be ahead of me. If you are born after me, you will also be ahead of me. If you are taught by me, you will be born in me in the first place? Therefore, there is no noble or lowly, there is no longer a long or a few. Where the Tao exists, the teacher will exist."
Speaking of this, Lu Chou looked up and looked at the man, but the man's face turned red. I don't know if it was because of shame or excitement.
However, Lu Chou did not intend to give up, but continued to talk about Han Yu's "Talks". Lu Chou was not embarrassed at all about plagiarizing the works of later generations. After all, with his existence, history might change.
After the chanting of "The Master's Talk", the whole hall was silent, as if the needle fell on the ground could be heard clearly.
But Lu Chou looked at the man and Cai Yong.
Cai Yong pondered for a long time, but said, "I really didn't expect that Ziyu was young, but he could see the relationship between master and apprentice so thoroughly. It was rare, rare."
Two rare sentences are expressed in Cai Yong's heart.
Especially when Lu Chou said, "Therefore, disciples do not have to be inferior to their masters, and teachers do not have to be as good as disciples. There are orders of hearing the truth and specialized in their skills, and so on." This made Cai Yong's heart turbulent.
When Lu Chou heard Cai Yong's praise, he just smiled and said, "I'm stupid, I'm just a little bit touched, so I wrote this article to record it. I hope you don't want to laugh at me."
Cai Yong said, "Who dares to laugh at Ziyu with such a masterpiece?"
Then, Cai Yong said to the person who asked the question: "Ruan Yu, do you know you lost?"
When Ruan Yu heard this, he did not make any false statement. Instead, he laughed and said, "Sir, if you can listen to this masterpiece, you can make Yu Mao suddenly break into pieces. What's wrong with losing?"
Then, Ruan Yu bowed respectfully to Lu Chou and said, "Zi Yu is so talented, Yu admires it."
After saying that, Ruan Yu returned to the place where he was originally standing.
After Lu Chou heard Ruan Yu's name, he was slightly surprised. After all, Ruan Yu forced Cao Cao to burn the mountain and even wanted to invite a talent.
Lu Chou smiled at Ruan Yu and said, "Sir, why should you be modest? Sir, you are well-educated. I hope you will give Zi Yu more advice in the future."
Ruan Yu smiled and replied, "It's just a matter of mutual exchange. Zi Yu's talent is very admired."
The two of them were polite, but gave up.
At this time, no one in the hall dared to jump out and make things difficult for Lu Chou. After all, Lu Chou showed an extraordinary level in both poetry and literary talent.
Cai Yong was not surprised to see this situation, but said with a smile: "I just finished listening to Ziyu's "Ode to Jing Ke". Now after listening to this "Talent", I feel that Ziyu is more talented. Ciming really accepted a good apprentice."
When Lu Chou heard Cai Yong's praise, he smiled and replied: "Mr. Bo Yi is a mischievous praise. Ziyu is still young and needs many places to be given guidance from Master Bo Yi. I hope Mr. Bo Yi will give me advice."
Cai Yong heard this and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really rare to be so motivated."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of a piano in the side hall, and the lingering sound was lingering like a thread.
Lu Chou was a little dull when he heard it for a moment.
When Cai Yong heard this, he showed joy on his face and quietly admired the sound of the piano.
The people in the hall were also attracted by the sound of the piano and listened quietly.
After the song was played, Lu Chou suddenly remembered a person who made him very excited, Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Wenji.
Thinking of this, Lu Chou couldn't help but feel excited. After all, Lu Chou is not as old as he does not understand men and women. Moreover, he loves beauty. Lu Chou is both intimate and yearning for this talented woman with a bumpy fate during the Three Kingdoms period, so he couldn't help but say to Cai Yong: "Sir, who is playing the piano? Why not come out to meet him?"
Cai Yong smiled and said, "Since Zi Yu invites you, Yuan Yu, go to the side hall and call the zither player here."
When Ruan Yu heard this, he took the order and left.
After a while, Ruan Yu brought in a beautiful man.
After Lu Chou saw it, he was half excited and half disappointed, because the person who came was not Cai Wenji, but Lu Chou's old acquaintance, Gu Yong and Gu Yuan sighed.
Although Lu Chou was a little disappointed that it was not Cai Wenji, when he saw Gu Yong, Lu Chou still smiled and said, "Yuan Tan, don't be fine."
Gu Yong glanced at Lu Chou hatefully, but ignored Lu Chou, but bowed respectfully to Cai Yong and said, "Disciple Gu Yong, have seen Mr. Cai."
When Lu Chou saw Gu Yong's situation, he naturally understood it. He thought that Gu Yong must have done what he said, and was punished by Cai Yong and was punished to face the wall in the side hall.
However, Lu Chou realized that Gu Yong's piano was so well played.
Cai Yong smiled and said, "Okay, get up."
After saying that, he smiled at Lu Chou and said, "Ziyu, this is Gu Yong, I believe you have known each other."
Lu Chou nodded and said, "Brother Gu and I fell in love with each other as before, but we have known each other for a long time."
Cai Yong smiled and said, "Justice just now, Gu Yong said to me: 'Ziyu feels that he does not know me, but his relationship with General Zhu and his companions, so he goes to see General Zhu first. I wonder if Ziyu knows this?"
Lu Chou nodded and said, "That's right, Ziyu said that."
Cai Yong asked with a smile: "I and Ciming are close friends. I can only count as half of your master, so what explanation is this?"
Lu Chou replied frankly: "Although Brother Bo Ji is close to his family, I am on the battlefield with General Zhu, and I can be called a friend of life and death. Therefore, I will visit General Zhu first."
When Cai Yong heard Lu Chou’s answer, he laughed and said, “Okay, OK!”
