When everyone heard his words, they all fell silent.
Although some people don't know the origin of this sentence, there are also knowledgeable people at the table.
Since Xu He accepted Xie Kun's teachings, he has attached great importance to the comprehensive development of the classics and history collection, and has read many history books recently.
When I heard this sentence, I knew that this man was making fun of me.
This sentence comes from the "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Li Chui". During the Zhenzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Chui was extremely knowledgeable, upright and selfless. He successively served as a scholar, a school administrator, and other positions, and was highly regarded by the public. At that time, the vulgar style of flattery and flattery was popular in the officialdom, and Li Chui was very disgusted with this.
At that time, the minister Ding Wei relied on his ability to flatter himself to become the prime minister of the dynasty. After he became prime minister, he controlled the government and severely punished those who disobeyed him. Many people who wanted to be promoted and make a fortune saw that Ding Wei was favored by the emperor, so they went to curry favor with him, hoping to get benefits. However, Li Chui was never interested in flattery and refused to pay a visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Chui believed that Ding Wei, as the prime minister of the dynasty, did not enforce the law impartially, but instead bullied his colleagues. He really failed the emperor's trust and the people's expectations. Such a person is so stinky that it is too late to hide, so why go to worship at all!
There is no airtight wall in the world. Many villains knew Li Chui's thoughts and reported to Ding Wei in order to curry favor with him. After Ding Wei found out what Li Chui was thinking, he was so angry that he found an excuse to demote Li Chui to another place as an official.
After Song Renzong came to the throne, Ding Wei lost his backers, and those who had offended him were transferred back to the capital. Li Chui was also recalled by the emperor, giving him a chance to be reused. Some friends advised Li Chui to pay homage to the new prime minister and stop being aloof.
But he replied disdainfully: "Thirty years ago, if I was willing to abandon my dignity and go to see Ding Wei, I might have been regarded as a confidant by him and become a bachelor of Hanlin. Now that I am old, I see that ministers do not act impartially. , I often don’t save face for them and accuse them face to face. Now, I can be said to be extremely arrogant. How can I rely on powerful people and do things based on other people’s looks, so that they can recommend me to the emperor? "
Soon, someone reported his words to the new prime minister. The new prime minister felt that he was a thorn and would be troublesome in the court, so he demoted him out of the capital again and asked him to work as a small state official elsewhere. Although Li Chui suffered so many grievances, he still did not regret what he had done.
This man used this story to ridicule everyone at the table, and the table was extremely awkward for a while.
When Xu He saw this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. When did he become the target of others' ridicule?
Just because the uncle entered the cabinet, sure enough, many things have changed.
But Xu He also knows that this is the reality of society. For this old student with white hair and beard, it is normal for the imperial examination to fail and to say some weird things. If he takes it to heart, he will have to be cautious every day to survive. .
Thinking of this, Xu He stood up and cupped his hands and said to the student: "Brother Zhang, please forgive me for any offence!"
After saying that, he punished himself with a glass of wine and showed the bottom of the glass.
Seeing his generosity, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the old student surnamed Zhang didn't appreciate it, and still said calmly: "Brother Liangsheng, how can I forgive you? I say it's mine and it has nothing to do with you!"
This is just acting like a rogue and treating everyone as fools?
Wu Decao stood up and pointed his finger: "You white-haired old man, everyone is happy, but why are you so weird? Have our Mr. Xu offended you?"
As soon as these words came out, the old student's face instantly turned red, his beard was trembling with anger, and he cursed Wu Decao: "What the hell are you? At such a young age, you don't respect your seniors at all!"
Wu Decao sneered and said: "Senior? Are you worthy? You have lived in vain for so many years. You are not young anymore. You are still wearing a Lan shirt. If you have the ability, go and take the exam and then come and call yourself senior in front of us!"
Everyone had been bothering the old student for a long time. When they heard Wu Desao's words, they all cheered loudly and were extremely happy.
Seeing that the commotion here was getting louder, attracting the attention of the main table and those around him, Xu He didn't want to spoil the fun, so he said, "Why don't we let this Senior Brother Zhang be the leader?"
He was asking everyone, but his eyes were looking at the old student.
Zhang Laosheng's name is Zhang Run, also known as Zi Wen. After hearing Xu He's words, he thought Xu He was submissive and glared at Wu Decao proudly. Then he said slowly: "I am the eldest at the table, so I should be!"
When Wu Decao heard this, he almost exploded with anger, but he didn't want to embarrass Xu He, so he sat down and complained: "Liangsheng, this old scoundrel relies on his old age, why should we give him face?"
Xu He said in a low voice: "Didn't that incident just come true to fulfill his wish?"
Wu Decao thought to himself, isn't it just that there was a big fuss, and everyone present really thought that Xu He was relying on Xu Song's power to do something great.
Qi Jiguang, who was on the side, saw Xu He being humiliated, so he whispered: "Speak loudly, don't be angry, this kind of person is the most shameless when he touches your nose and face! Don't be fooled by him!"
Xu He nodded imperceptibly, still smiling and joking with the people around him.
Sure enough, when the man surnamed Zhang saw Xu He's posture, he felt as if his fist had been punched on the cotton, and he was unable to use it.
At this time, the drinking orders had already begun on the surrounding tables. Everyone was afraid that things would continue to cause trouble, so they all urged Zhang Run to start quickly.
Old man Zhang Run glared, looked at the people on the table and said, "What's the hurry?"
After saying this, he asked Xu to think. After a while, he said: "The sun sets and the mountains are far away!"
It turns out to be the character [日].
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This word order was relatively simple and there shouldn't be too many verses about the day.
Starting from him, the person below said loudly: "The sun is over the mountains!"
Hearing this person read this sentence, everyone around him laughed.
It’s not that I’m laughing at him, but that this sentence is so simple that even a sociology student can answer it!
The person below continued: "The universe floats day and night!"
"Okay." Everyone clasped their hands and laughed after hearing this.
Another Mongolian poem, Du Fu's "Ascend the Yueyang Tower".
The fourth person was already ready and said with a smile: "The sun sets over the long river!"
Yes! Today is a collection of Meng poetry.
Wang Wei's "Envoy to the Fortress"! The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, the sun is setting over the long river.
When it was the last person's turn, he touched his beard, thought for a long time, and then smiled and said: "Yes, the clouds can always cover the sun!"
"good!"
"good!"
"Meng Shi! It's really all Meng Shi!"
"Hahaha!"
It turned out that this person had been thinking for a long time, and it wasn't that he couldn't think of a poem with [日] in the end, but he specifically found a poem by a professor of elementary school... Li Bai's "Ascending the Phoenix Terrace of Jinling"!
Qi Jiguang originally saw that this kind of flying flower order was quite interesting and not difficult, but at this time, his relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
Even Meng Shi can be played with by these scholars. It’s really...
At the end of the first round, no one drank. Although everyone thought it was fun, they couldn't enjoy it to the fullest, so they urged Zhang Run and asked him to do something rare.
Zhang Run looked to Xu He's side, smiled and said: "Next order... [tea]!"
Everyone laughed: "Brother Zhang, isn't the word tea too simple?"
Zhang Run looked at the crowd with a sneer and said, "This order needs words to explain!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, the difficulty was increased, it was interesting and interesting!
