Many years later, Liang Chuan recalled the scene when he first met Sima Guang and couldn't help but feel deeply.
If one person had to be used to describe Sima Guang, Liang Chuan could only think of one person - Hai Rui.
Sima Guang's eyes were very big, staring like copper bells, but they did not appear dull. Instead, the aura flowing through them gave people a feeling of sparkling aura. The clothes he wore were quite simple, even simpler than when they first met. The linen clothes had many patches, and the fabric was washed white.
He was carrying a suitcase on his back. According to Zhao Yunrang, it contained a food box and the rest were books.
This young man was very interesting. When he saw Meng Liangchen and Zhao Yunrang talking, he sat beside them. He did not immediately come to interrupt the guests. Instead, he sat under the pine tree in the temple, took out his food box, and quietly Start eating.
Liang Chuan could see that the food in the food box only contained a few pieces of tofu and some boiled vegetables. As for the meat, he didn't see a single morsel. The hard-working Chinese people should be grateful to their ancestors for their wisdom and the gifts of nature. They have discovered gifts like tofu, so that working people who do not eat meat can also supplement sufficient protein.
The current per capita production value of Bianjing City may be the highest in the world. It would be difficult to find someone in this place who has a worse diet than Sima Guang. Except during times of natural and man-made disasters, beggars in Bianjing City beg several times a day on the streets, and the money they get is enough to eat a bowl of noodles or a few big meat buns.
The drums for the end of get out of class rang, and the disciples of the clan walked past this peer from time to time, with uncontrollable disgust and contempt in their eyes. People will always look down on those who are struggling and working hard. The even more contemptible reason is that Sima Guang dared to disrespect their husband. He didn't even respect him. They, the descendants of the clan and Meng Liangchen's students, were in his eyes. Is it even less worth mentioning?
Sima Guang looked at them without fear. He ate the delicacies in the food box with no trace of emotion on his face. The tasteless tofu was like a delicacy given by the emperor in his mouth. It tasted so delicious. . He ate slowly, chewing every mouthful of rice carefully, and then swallowed it again. After eating for a long time, he packed the food box neatly, then took out the books in the food box and sat at the bottom of the tree to read.
His back was taller than the old pine, and his eyes were fixed on the book. He didn't pay any attention to the students coming and going around him. He sat alone under the tree, but his aura was incomparable to others. He is so powerful that no one can interfere with him. The small world on that side is his own!
"Is that all he eats every day?"
Zhao Yunrang said with emotion in his heart: "The storm will not stop and the thunder will not be able to move."
Seeing this scene, Liang Chuan suddenly understood why Sima Guang was as famous as Fan Zhongyan and was posthumously named Wenzheng. History is the fairest. Even if some people are whitewashed because of power and hegemony, time will eventually give justice to people and give a fair and reasonable evaluation to upright people.
"How much does Master Zhao know him?"
The tea on the stove was bubbling. Zhao Yunrang poured a cup of tea for the two of them and said slowly: "Speaking of it, Sima Guang's ancestor was also a wealthy family. His distant ancestor was Sima Fu, the King of Anping Xian of the Jin Dynasty. You must be his brother. I’ve heard of it, Sima Yi!”
Liang Chuan became energetic for a moment.
"It's a pity that after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, these aristocratic families suffered a devastating blow. From his fourth generation ancestor to his great uncle, they were all commoners. It was not until his grandfather Sima Xuan's generation that he returned to officialdom and became the magistrate of Yaozhou County. Sima Xuan's character He has integrity and is famous throughout the country."
The steaming tea and the fragrance of the tea leaves make people feel particularly energetic. Zhao Yunrang suddenly thought of the medicine Liang Chuan had on hand: "Hey, I just left Liang Chuan here to have tea, and forgot that you have to go back to deliver medicine to Brother Sun!"
Liang Chuan said lightly: "I won't die for a while, sir, don't worry."
Zhao Yunrang was an honest man, and he was a little confused for a moment. He clearly felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Zhao Yunrang could only continue: "If the Sima family had not used up all their luck at the beginning, then they would be either fools or lunatics. The whole family would have been in darkness for hundreds of years. It was not until his grandfather's generation that he regained the ability to study. The seed was sown, and his father Sima Chi became a doctor in the Ministry of War and a representative of the Tianzhang Pavilion. He was an upright and honest official, and he was also a famous official of his generation. It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that his parents, Sima Chi, died early. He was raised by his elder brother, Sima Dan. You should also know Pang Ji in the Western Army. The two of them were close friends. Pang Ji regarded Sima Guang as his own flesh and blood." , Not only that, Master Zhang Cunzhang also offered to marry his daughter to him!"
"He agreed?"
Liang Chuan didn't expect that this boy's experience was so legendary, and that so many high-ranking people would take a fancy to him before he became successful. It can be said that the eyes of the ancients were vicious, but no one can predict the cause and effect of this kind of thing. I don’t know whether it was Sima Guang who was destined to have an official career and was destined to achieve a career, or whether it was these noble people who made Sima Guang successful in his official career. Go with the flow.
"When he was seven years old, this man was known for his poise and the demeanor of an adult. This child saved his friend Shangguan Shangguang by throwing a stone at a vat. His story has long been circulated in Luoyang and Bianjing. Although his father-in-law Zhang Cun He is the judge of Huazhou, but he is also the official reputation. When you were in the Western Army, he was the transfer envoy of Shaanxi. Even his adoptive father was polite when he met Zhang Cun. He took the initiative to promise his daughter to this Sima Guang. Sima Guang unexpectedly He said that we will wait until he is named on the gold list before discussing marriage. Mr. Zhang is also very graceful and has made sure that this boy is not going to argue with him."
Liang Chuan thought to himself: You are so powerful at the age of seven! I originally thought that this smashing of a vat was an anecdote in unofficial history, but I didn’t expect it to be true! The fact that a seven-year-old child saved another child with a stone can be spread so widely, which shows people's recognition of Sima Guang.
Zhao Yunrang couldn't let Sima Guang wait around all the time. This man followed ancient etiquette and would not do anything that violated etiquette. When Zhao Yunrang was receiving guests, he would keep waiting until Zhao Yunrang came. Guests are sent away.
"Junshi come here!"
When Sima Guang saw Zhao Yunrang calling him, he walked over slowly and bowed to Meng Liangchen first, bending straight at the waist: "Mr. Meng is polite." Then Zhao Yunrang said: "Mr. Zhao." Finally. He also smiled at Liang Chuan.
Sure enough, his nature is pure and good!
"Excuse me, sir!" Sima Guang's voice was deep, but it wasn't full of energy. Instead, it felt like his vocal cords were not well developed when he was young.
"We made you wait for too long, sit down quickly!"
Meng Liangchen looked at Sima Guang and said to Liang Chuan, "Can I tell you?"
Liang Chuan said: "What are you talking about me? Are you talking about those theories?"
Sima Guang knew what it meant as soon as he heard it. He was very surprised. He didn't expect that there is a world outside the sky. Those new and weird theories that Meng Liangchen said were rebellious and treasonous, such as the world being unified and everyone being equal, were actually proposed by this man. No need to look carefully, he still had a smile on his face. Wearing two lines of gold seals, he has a standard business appearance. Sitting with Zhao Yunrang, he is not shy and unrestrained, with a face that is always smiling and completely cynical.
He stood up again, this time bowing respectfully to Liang Chuan, and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"
How dare I call him sir in front of Sima Guang? A hundred years later, this boy will leave his name in history, and he will still be unknown.
He stood up and said: "I can't bear the word sir, my name is Liang Chuan!"
Sima Guang solemnly said: "So you are Mr. Liang!"
"I'm not a gentleman, and a gentleman is a model for others. Everyone outside me calls me despicable, but I consider myself to be upright. I'm just a farmer at best. I can't be a gentleman!"
The first impression of Sima Guang is that of smoothness.
What a sharp mouth!
Sima Guang looked at Liang Chuan and found it difficult to understand. This man was labeled as a Ding Party member earlier, but later he offended the Queen Mother Liu for some reason and asked him to go to the northwest to join the army. Later, he surrendered to Xia Song's sect. All of them were traitors. Disciple, Zhao Yunrang has a special status, how come he hangs out with him? Although Meng Liangchen has different political views from me, he is also the humerus of the country, why? .
"I dare to ask Mr. Liang where he lives now. Sima Guang has some insights to discuss with him."
Sima Guang and Meng Liangchen used to discuss national policies and policies in private, and would never do so in front of Zhao Yunrang. Firstly, when talking about excitement, he would inevitably be unable to restrain his voice and would be disrespectful to Zhao Yunrang. Secondly, Zhao Yunrang had a special status. , I am afraid that it will affect him and indirectly affect the East Palace.
Liang Chuan said: "I live in Xia Song's Mansion, but it's hard for you to find me there. I occasionally go to Liangjiazhuang in the western suburbs to stay, but it's too far away there, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go there. If you need it, you can Find me in the Forbidden City!"
Sima Guang knew where the Forbidden City was, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please point out the location. Sima Guang will go to the western suburbs to visit."
Liang Chuan smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me? I'm not an official and I'm not teaching. I usually have business to take care of in the store, so I don't have that much time!"
Liang Chuan had long heard that Sima Guang was a very stubborn person. He was now focused on politics and he didn't have much time to chat with him. If he wanted to chat, wouldn't it be better for him to come to Meng Liangchen.
"I just want to ask you, sir, why does Mr. Gufa Fengli treat these treasures like dirt, and instead talk about the world being unified? If the world is unified, where does the majesty of the official and royal families belong?"
Zhao Yunrang was a little worried. Sima Guang had a stubborn and strong temper. He didn't care about the fact that he, a landlord, was nearby. His words were straightforward. He even asked Liang Chuan about his intentions. Liang Chuan was his distinguished guest. What should happen if there was an unpleasant incident? .
Meng Liangchen smiled even happier. He only scratched the surface of Liang Chuan's advanced socialist theory. He couldn't handle the many debates with Sima Guang well. He could only add some of his own understanding, but he couldn't convince this man well at all. Now look at Liang Chuan Why did that mouth fool you!
