Chapter 214: Who in the world doesn’t know you

‘Changes according to the times, and makes the most righteous and not the minorities.’

This is a summary of Shusun Tong when Sima Qian wrote "Records of the Grand Historian". Overall, this is a very high evaluation.

In his previous life, Liu Kan hadtily read the book "Records of the Grand Historian".

However, at that time, except for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, the characters who could make him interested, were mostly swallowed up in a hurry and forgot after reading it. But Shusun Tong was a very interesting person who made him remember deeply and very interesting.

Later Confucian scholars emphasized integrity and character!

For some principled issues, Liu Kan never gave in. So for a long time, he had a wrong idea: the so-called great scholars should be serious, stubborn, stubborn, ignorant, and like to sit and talk. He studied hard on weekdays and died in danger and repayed the king even if he had full integrity. Later, many Confucian scholars did not even have the courage to die.

But Shusun Tong is not exactly like this...

This person studied under the ninth generation of Confucius's grandson Kong Qi, and served for Emperor Qin Shi, Ying Hu Hai, Xiang Yu, Xiong Xin, Liu Bang and others one after another. He can be regarded as a person who knows how to protect himself. If we follow the values ​​of Confucian scholars in later generations, Shusun Tong should be a shameless person who has no integrity to talk about. Especially after Shusun Tong surrendered to the Han Dynasty, most of the recommended thieves and powerful men for Liu Bang were dissatisfied with Shusun Tong, and some even privately said that he was a shame for scholars all over the world.

But this uncle Sun Tong didn't care at all.

When the monarch is enterprising and fighting for the world, he needs warriors and generals who can win battles; but when the world is stable and if he wants to maintain his foundation, he needs the help of scholars and scholars. This is Shusun Tong's answer to Liu Bang at that time.

Its meaning is quite similar to the later proverb, "You can win the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately."

In his book "Records of the Grand Historian", Sima Qian even called Shusun Tong the "Han Confucian Sect". This word "Zong" is enough to explain everything.

Liu Kan did not expect to meet this famous person of all time in Luoyang City.

He quickly sorted out his clothes and saluted and said, "I never thought I would meet the sage here. Liu Kan is very happy, Liu Kan is very happy!"

Liu Kan's sudden action was beyond everyone's expectations. Even Shusun Tong, he could not understand the reason.

Although Liu Kan is not very old, she is quite famous.

For Gong, at the age of twenty, he was already a member of the same place. Although the position of Sishui Duke was temporarily established, no one could deny the rights in Liu Kan. He held military power and supervised the administration of the two counties... A smart person even vaguely guessed that under the power of Sishui Duke, there was a very important responsibility hidden, that is, to monitor the descendants of the anti-Qin six countries under the rule of Chu.

It can be imagined that at Liu Kan's age, it will be a matter of time before he gets up and becomes a prime minister. It will be a matter of time before he can get a bright future.

In addition, the news of the war in northern Xinjiang two years ago was also spread to the Central Plains in fragments. The bloody battle in Fuping, and Liu Kan also made great contributions.

In private, Liu Kan and Cheng Miao invented the "Cheng Gongzhi", which is famous all over the world.

On the other hand, Shusun Tong was already thirty years old, but he had always been unknown and had no reputation. Since he was young, he joined Kong Jing and studied for more than ten years. Since Emperor Shi discussed burning books with Li Si, Kong Jing and his disciples hid themselves in Zhongyue Mountain (i.e., Songshan Mountain).

But even so, Kong Qi's origin still determines that he cannot escape the imperial court's enlistment.

After a letter of edict was sent, Kong Qiong thought about it repeatedly and felt that he could not completely refuse the enlistment. However, he was not willing to ask him to go to Xianyang. In the end, Kong Qiong refused the imperial edict on the pretext of being in poor health. But at the same time, he selected Shusun Tong from his disciples to Xianyang.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Shusun Tong is not loved by Kong Feng.

There is a famous saying in "The Analects of Confucius - Yan Yuan Chapter" that "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." Kong Qi ordered Shusun Tong to do what he was unwilling to do, which was actually contrary to the teachings of his ancestors. Therefore, before Shusun Tong came out of the mountain, no one knew about his existence. The reason why Li You respected him was because of his conversation with Shusun Tong, which showed that this person was more capable than others.

But fundamentally, the status gap between Shusun Tong and Liu Kan is indeed too big...

Liu Kan's respectful tone made Shusun Tong feel flattered.

He quickly returned the courtesy: "How can an unknown person afford such a great gift from the Duwei? Apart from being a little older, Tong really cannot afford the word "big wise"... However, Tong has been following his teacher to study and has no reputation. I wonder where the Duwei has heard of it?"

Liu Kan was a little speechless!

I can't tell my Shusun Tong: The reason I have heard of your name is because your name will be left in history in the future?

Seeing Liu Kan's expression, Uncle Sun Tong couldn't help but sigh inwardly: I thought he really knew him, and it seemed that he was just polite!

In fact, it’s not just Shusun Tong who has such an idea.

Everyone, including Li You and Li Cheng, had the same idea.

Liu Kan was anxious and said seriously: "Sir, don't think Kan is the kind-hearted person who speaks cleverly. The most saint is a master of the master for all generations, and Kan has always admired him.

It’s a pity that Kan Wan has been born for hundreds of years and has not been able to listen to the teachings under the saints, so he feels regretful.

A saint has many Jie in his life, but his character remains unchanged.

Who destroys and praises me to others? If you have something to praise me, you will have something to try. This people are the reason why the three generations of people acted straight...

He should be like a saint Confucius! Therefore, since he entered the world, Kan has paid great attention to the ways of saints... Mr. Shusun studied under Mr. Kong. Although his reputation was not obvious, Kan had long heard of the name of scheming. The gentleman was not the kind of person who studied hard and read books. The Book of Rites - The Great also said: If you are constantly refreshing, you will be fresher and newer. The sages also know that scheming changes, but unfortunately later generations took the meaning out of context and understood the mistakes.

Kan thought that although the name of Mr. Kong and his famous scholars were not as good as that of Mr. Kong and his disciples, he had obtained the true meaning of a saint, so he deserved the word "Great Sage".

Liu Kan did not make enough of this reason, but it was very thoughtful of Shusun Tong.

Li You was also very surprised. Unexpectedly, Liu Kan was actually a knowledgeable person, and even the teachings of Confucius and Mencius could be talked about.

The most holy mentioned by Liu Kan is the honorific title of Confucius by later generations.

Although Confucius also had the reputation of "Sage of Heaven" in this era, it seemed a bit weaker than the title of "Supreme Saint".

Shusun Tong couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He has always felt unsuccessful under the Confucius School. Because he had the power to speak and made changes, he was very suppressed in the Confucian school. Whether it was Kong Gui or other great scholars, he always liked to keep the ancient system in his mouth, and often went to ancient times. Although he knew that Confucius also had words that agreed with the reform, he was still relatively resistant in his heart.

Today, when he heard Liu Kan's words, Shusun Tong couldn't help but feel like a confidant.

Holding Liu Kan's hands, Shusun Tong whispered: "Those who know me are the commander... Those who know me are the commander!"

Liu Kan smiled and said, "Tsai said: Isn't it a good thing to learn and practice it from time to time? Is it a good time to have friends coming from afar? People don't know but don't be angry, don't be gentlemen? The master's talent is now just a bright pearl. One day, he can be like the North Mid and Kunpeng, who can make it soar for nine thousand miles. Why should he sigh for his mediocrity? Kan gave it to Mr.: Don't worry about his future without a friend, who doesn't know you in the world? The master's talent will always be appreciated."

Shusun Tong nodded repeatedly and said, "Tong remembers the high hopes of the commander."

The two of them exchanged a few more words, and Li You couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Brother Liu, Mr. Shusun, since you are so compatible, why not become sworn brothers? With Mr. Shusun's talent and brother Liu's bravery and reputation, we will definitely make a good story in the Qin Dynasty in the future."

Liu Kan and his uncle Sun Tong were both stunned...

"I dare not ask for help, I'm just wishing!" Liu Kan said: "I just don't know if Kan Yijie's martial arts husband has such honor to become brothers with Mr. Shusun?"

To be honest, this sentence should have been said by Shusun Tong.

But Liu Kan made a first statement, which made Shusun Tong no longer have any reason to refuse. He immediately bowed and said, "Since that's the case, Tong will be high!"

At this moment, Li You ordered someone to set up a table of incense, and Liu Kan and Shusun Tong became sworn brothers.

Shusun Tongchang Liu Kan was seventeen years old and was the elder brother. After the two of them had sworn brothers, they couldn't help laughing loudly after looking at each other.

With this, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became eased. The tension that had arisen earlier because of Feng Jing's sudden appearance disappeared. Everyone sat down one after another, and they were very lively. During the banquet, Liu Kan suddenly spoke: "Brother was born in the same place, and the situation of the same place should be more familiar with it."

"Although I don't know, I know a little bit."

Shusun Tong looked calm and looked at Liu Kan, then smiled calmly: "Does A Kan be worried about Liang Fushan's affairs?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.

The eyes of Li You and Li Cheng, and Feng Jing gathered on Shusun Tong in one go.

Liu Kan seemed very casual. After taking a sip of wine, "Brother, I just want to know, where do you think the prophecy comes from?"

The implication is to ask Shusun Tong, some people say that it is God's will. What do you think?

Shusun Tong said: "The way of heaven is far, the way of man is near, and it is beyond reach... Heaven and man do not interfere with each other, and we people have not even figured out the way of man. What qualifications do we have to talk about the way of heaven? Ah Kan, ask me what I think about this matter, I only have one sentence: I don't say that strange powers and turmoil!"

Liu Kan immediately smiled.

Although Shusun Tong did not give a positive answer, he had already answered Liu Kan's question clearly.

There is no doubt that it is almost the same as Liu Kan guessed: the incident at Liangfushan was by no means God's will, but purely a man-made event.

After pondering for a while, Liu Kan said to Li You: "Mr. Li, Kan has a reluctant request, so I hope the Ms. I hope the Ms. will help each other."

Li You smiled, "Brother Liu wants to borrow someone, right?"

Although Li You is far less famous in history than his father Li Si. But as a successful person of this era, Li You is definitely not a frivolous reputation. As soon as Liu Kan spoke, Li You guessed what he meant. Liu Kan was not artificial in this regard.

He said: "Even if my brother goes to Xianyang now, he may not be reused for a while, and he is wasting all his talent and learning in vain.

When Kan went to Jibei County this time, there was indeed no one around him.

My brother is familiar with the situation in Qidi and has outstanding talents. It is better to go with me, so that he can show his strengths and have a good future in the future. However, in Xianyang, the county magistrate needs to come forward to talk about the situation. This matter should be under the Prime Minister's Office, and the county magistrate does not know the county magistrate..."

Li You thought about it and nodded slightly, "It's not difficult to say anything about the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I don't know what Mr. Shusun wants?"

Shusun Tong seemed very happy, "Tong naturally had no objection. Akan went to Jibei County, how could I, a brother, stand by and watch?

but……"

Liu Kan felt nervous: Could it be that he has other ideas?

Shusun Tong said: "This time I went to Jibei County, the relationship was extremely complicated, and the situation was extremely complicated. Moreover, there were many great scholars in Qi, and there were many well-educated scholars. Tong hoped to second another person from the county magistrate... I just don't know if the county magistrate can give up?"

Li You was stunned, "Who does Mr. Uncle Sun want?"

"Wu Chen!"

A very strange name was spit out from Shusun Tong's mouth.

Liu Kan had never heard of this person before, so she couldn't help but look at Li Cheng in confusion, which meant: Do you know who Wu Chen is?

Li Cheng's eyes showed confusion.

Li You smiled, "It turns out that the gentleman asked my junior brother to come forward... Well, Junior Brother Wu is proficient in the study of punishment, which is far better than You. If he hadn't been in the age of an official, his father would have transferred him back to Xianyang. It would be fine if he stayed with me, and it would not be difficult to go to Jibei County with Brother Liu. So, I agree to this, but I still have a condition."

Liu Kan understood.

It turns out that Wu Chen is actually Li Si's student.

It must be because of age that I have not yet entered the officialdom, so I stayed with Li You.

Liu Kan didn't understand what it was to bring Wu Chen with him, but I thought that Shu Sun Tong would not be aimless, and this person must be capable.

Now said: "Please speak in person by the county magistrate."

"My junior brother and my father are fellow townsmen and the student I value most. He has an amazing memory and has the ability to remember everything he has seen. It's just a bone of body... Brother Liu took him there, and please take care of him. Don't be tired of your body. Please come here!"

I see!

Liu Kan quickly stood up and agreed, thanking again.

After taking everyone back to the seat, Li You looked solemn and applauded and told him to follow him to clear the courtyard. "A few of you here will be involved in the affairs of Liangfu Mountain. You will not hide it, so you might as well explain it in the truth. As far as you know, the affairs of Liangfu Mountain seem to be widely moved.

I have roughly understood the meaning of "Tian Sanfen".
