Chapter 229: Zi said on the river
In a trance, Yang Chuan suddenly felt that Dong Zhongshu, who was sitting in front of him, was so good at being with the Marquis of Pingyang Cao Xiang?
If you don’t leave your own practice, this is also the same skill.
Of course, Cao Xiang had a mouthful of dog teeth in his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Chuan could know what shape he was going to pull a donkey dung egg.
On the contrary, Dong Zhongshu's mouth was full of ivory. You knew that he was talking lies with his eyes open, but he was just unable to find any problem with others.
That's it.
Well, this is very ‘resonance of heaven and man’.
Yang Chuan finally understood why Liu Che didn't like Dong Zhongshu very much: You are so damn, you can contact the induction of heaven and man in everything, so how can I, the Emperor of Han, play happily?
Yang Chuan finally figured out one thing, that is, what Dong Zhongshu called the "resonance of heaven and man", it was really not a "feudal superstition", but a tight spell prepared for the emperor or imperial power.
It sounds mysterious and very noble.
However, Yang Chuan was not very interested in this. He stubbornly believed that the final result of using this divine and divine way to restrict the imperial power was nothing more than collective castration...
...
The food at Yangchuan's house is naturally very delicious. Even if Yangchuan deliberately ordered to only stir-fry two large plates of sour meat, put a few small pickled vegetables and small wild vegetables, it still made Dong Zhongshu amazed and the chopsticks were like rain.
So, on the rare "small round table", the battle between Dong Zhongshu and Huo Qubing was instantly ignited.
"Get sick, you are still young, so you can't be too greedy for food."
"Mr. Dong, you are too old and can't eat too greasy. You should eat more sauerkraut, vermicelli, and less meat!"
"Don't get rid of the disease, how do you and I share the food? Look, it's just one dish for each person."
"Dong Gong, among the chaos, you should move forward bravely. How could you be greedy for the meat and vegetables in front of you?"
"Huo Qubing, can you little thief eat slowly?"
"Dong Zhongshu, you old thief, you will die if you eat a few less bites?"
“…”
Slap, fuck!
Originally, two pairs of chopsticks refused to give in to each other in the air and interfered with each other. After luring the enemy into the depths, they used another plan to drag the knife and shoot back, which was very intense.
Dong Zhongshu is getting stronger and stronger, and he is very scheming and can always win by tricks;
Huo Qubing opened and closed his arms without giving in at all. A pair of chopsticks looked like a poisonous dragon, accurate and ruthless, but he also succeeded repeatedly...
Yang Chuan picked up a bowl of millet and flour and cooked "香港" with only a few plates of pickled vegetables, wild vegetables, pickled vegetables, etc., and ate them casually, smiled, and his eyes flashed.
In just a short while.
The two large plates of sour meat were sore and the old and the young went to the "Clean Plate Operation"; in the end, there was no way to grab it, and the two of them grabbed a plate and licked it "sigh-slightly"...
Well, just lick it clean.
Two clangs.
Two round and silky plates were put back on the dining table. Dong Zhongshu and Huo Qubing stared at each other, and seemed to have a "hum" in their nostrils. Then they picked up a bowl of rice in front of them and started eating slowly.
Look, this is the qualified predator of the Han Empire.
Yang Chuan carefully analyzed Dong Zhongshu and Huo Qubing from the perspective of a chef. He discovered an interesting phenomenon-
Anyone who can keep his name through the ages must be very domineering in one aspect and always tends to 'eat alone'...
"The food at Yangchuan's family is indeed well-known," Dong Zhongshu was willing to speak up after he started eating coarse grains. "It's a pity that I, Dong Zhongshu, cannot eat such delicious food often."
Yang Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Dong can come and have a free meal often."
Dong Zhongshu laughed and said, "Will I just eat for nothing?"
Yang Chuan shook his head, sighed, and said, "This man has his own opportunities. Thinking about the time, what I, Yang Chuan, wanted to eat the most was soft rice, but in the end I didn't grab it;
Mr. Dong, tell me, who should I ask for reason?”
Dong Zhongshu frowned slightly and asked seriously: "Soft rice, why rice?"
Yang Chuan coughed lightly and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, a sentence suddenly came from outside the door: "Dong Zhongshu, you are so uneducated that you don't even know what kind of rice is. You have to know that this man is the best at savvy, but what about the people of your Dong family, hahaha..."
Dong Zhongshu turned his head in shock, but saw Cao Xiang, a Marquis of Pingyang, walking in loosely.
This guy is now "Master Cao". He is cheating outside and often sneaks back to Chang'an City to participate in various banquets, poetry meetings held by the playboys, eat and drink freely, and have sex for free...
Ahem, it is said that my hands cramped when I accept gifts.
"So it's Marquis of Pingyang," Dong Zhongshu was ridiculed by Cao Xiang, and he was not angry. He laughed and bowed: "I heard about the famous poems of Cao for a long time, and Dong has greeted him."
Cao Xiang laughed loudly, waved his hand casually, and sat down beside Yang Chuan: "There is no choice but to see the flowers falling, it seems like the familiar swallows come back, and chanting poems and essays are too boring."
Dong Zhongshu: “…”
Well, Cao Xiang, this little thief, didn't know if God was blind or something, but he actually made this guy suddenly become enlightened, and all kinds of artistic conceptions of "famous quotes and aphorisms" came out.
It's simply, it makes people want to bite the back teeth!
"Yang Chuan, hurry up and ask the kitchen to make some side dishes and boil a pot of good wine. My marquis is almost starving to death."
Cao Xiang's hands were very dishonest, so he naturally wanted to touch Yang Chuan's two 'breaked legs': "Come on, I sprinkle a handful of salt on your wound."
Yang Chuan laughed and scolded in anger: "Get out."
Cao Xiang laughed and turned to look at Dong Zhongshu: "By the way, Dong Zhongshu, I haven't told you what soft rice is yet. This soft rice is just very soft, white, and moist...
Ahem, it’s the business that your Dong Yan does, isn’t it just a soft rice?"
Dong Zhongshu's old face turned red and he sighed: "Marty Pingyang, that Dong Yan is not my husband's family."
Cao Xiang didn't care either, so he turned to look at Huo Qubing and sneered: "Huo Qubing, you made my sister pregnant, and now you cry all day long and have no shame to see people. How can you hide in Yangchuan Village and eat and drink?
I went to Weiyang Palace and asked my uncle what it means, do you believe it or not to discount your kid's legs?"
Huo Qubing had a dark face and took a bowl of rice and pulled it into his mouth hard, but he didn't dare to say a word...
After teasing Huo Qubing, Cao Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, yawned loudly, muttered and scolded: "Yang Chuan, hurry up and let the kitchen cook for me."
Yang Chuan smiled helplessly and shouted through the window, saying that his father went to the kitchen to pick up the spoon himself.
"I haven't been here for this period of time. What are the places on the east bank of the Wei River doing? Who dares to make ground on Tai Sui's head and is actually building a large-scale project?"
Cao Xiangsong lay loosely, as if suddenly remembering something, frowned and asked, "Yang Chuan, could it be that you are building a villa?"
Yang Chuan glanced at Dong Zhongshu and smiled and said, "Don't you know what's going on in my family? The emperor's 200,000 acres of land had already paid for the loss of money and grain in his family. How could he have spare money to buy land and build a large-scale construction?"
That was Gong Dong's order to build the academy."
"Build academy?" Cao Xiang curled his lips disdainfully, "Dong Zhongshu, don't you already have several schools? Why do you still have to build academy?"
Dong Zhongshu smiled and said calmly: "This time, I didn't build a school for me, Dong Zhongshu, but for the emperor and the court."
Cao Xiang said 'oh' and was too lazy to ask.
His poems were bought with money, and they seemed to have nothing to do with scholars and cultural people, so they simply didn't interact with them much, so as not to accidentally miss it...
Dong Zhongshu continued: "A few days ago, when I was preaching to the emperor, I casually mentioned, "I am the best in the world in the Han Dynasty's civil and military achievements, but there is still a shortcoming, that is, there is no academy for the court, and it is still a bit unbeautiful."
The emperor followed my advice and planned to set up a Tai Academy in Chang'an City to establish a wise teacher to support the people of the world, and to cultivate more talents for the court.
Marquis Pingyang, Prince Yangchuan, Huo Qubing, you three are all Qilin children in the world. There are many things in the future, but Dong Zhongshu has something to ask for, so he hopes not to refuse..."
...
After lunch, Dong Zhongshu hurriedly left and went to the construction site on the east bank of the Wei River to work hard.
A great scholar actually lived like a "contractor", which made Yang Chuan have a more understanding of this old thief.
"Get sick, close the doors and windows, I will move my legs," I sat in a wheelchair all day long and pretended to be sick, and my butts were almost numb.
He stretched his waist, kicked his legs a few times, and smiled and said, "Okay, Dong Zhongshu doesn't need to catch this big fish, so he takes the initiative to bite the hook, and some of the backhands he prepared before can't be used."
The three of them looked at each other, their shoulders shaking, and almost laughed out loud.
"But, we shouldn't be too proud."
After the three of them relaxed for a few breaths, Yang Chuan immediately cheered up and said seriously: "I used a test paper. I originally wanted to hook up with Gongsun Hong, Sang Hongyang and the like, but Dong Zhongshu jumped out, and I can only say that we are lucky;
Then, some of the previous ideas need to be changed."
Yang Chuan pondered for a few moments, and then said, "Cao Xiang, you can't go to Chang'an City Wave again recently. Tai Academy has been planned to be built. You, Cao, and everyone else, have to be a teacher. You can't just ignore the face, right?"
Cao Xiang said depressedly: "What's the point of being a teacher? Are there any female disciples..."
Before this guy could finish his words, Huo Qubing kicked him on the butt and grinned in pain for a long time before getting up.
Huo Qubing cursed: "You beast!"
Yang Chuan laughed and said, "It turns out that he is still a beast."
To be continued...
