"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." The appearance of these eight words in this era was absolutely deafening and thought-provoking, and had a huge impact on Liu Yao's spirit.
The bookstore was also completely silent. The Confucian scholars put down their books one after another and looked at Liu Jing, all with admiration on their faces. Some even got excited and raised their arms and shouted:
"Brilliant! Liu Jun!"
"'Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!' If everyone in the world has this thought, why worry about the uncertainty of the world."
"'Taking the world as our own responsibility' is exactly the ambition of our generation!"
Liu Gao was stunned for a moment and then said: "I have little talent but little ambition. I have been in love with mountains and rivers since I was a child. In this life, I only want to live in seclusion in the barren mountains and be a leisurely and contented farmer who doesn't care about foreign customs. I can't do such a big thing as helping the world."
, is more suitable for someone with great ambitions like Shishou..."
But the more he said this, the less confident he became, and he didn't know why he suddenly felt guilty.
Liu Jing secretly shook his head. When the two met for the first time, Liu Yao's free and unrestrained memory impressed him deeply. He thought he was a talented person and looked forward to meeting him again. However, how much he looked forward to it at the beginning, now he is so disappointed.
He couldn't say that Liu Yao was wrong to have such an idea. After all, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced.
Since the two sides have different ways, let's not conspire against each other. Liu Jing's talk quickly dispersed.
Soon Liu Jing excused himself on official business and left.
After Liu Jing left, the Confucian scholars were whispering to each other for a while, and Liu Yao had no intention of participating. He held the scroll in his hand as if reading, trying to concentrate, but found that he could not read a word, "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
The word kept echoing in his heart.
"Liu Zhongda..." Liu Yao muttered silently.
His long-cherished wish is to be a hermit who escapes from the world of mortals and travels for the rest of his life. He will not change because of Liu Jing's words, but people like Liu Jing who care about the common people in the world will always make people awe-inspiring.
Respect.
Just when Liu Jing thought the day would end in peace, Du Xi suddenly came to visit.
In fact, it was not sudden. When he was farming at home, Du Xi ran to the fields every two days. According to this frequency, he should have come long ago.
Du Xi wears a purple-edged white coat, a purple corrugated cotton robe, black trousers, green silk shoes, a black lacquer gauze crown on his head, large sleeves hanging down, and a calm manner.
He walked into the market building, pointed at Liu Jing and said with a smile: "Zhongda, before you came here, I wondered if you were regretting coming to work in the market, but now that I see you, you are obviously overjoyed."
"It's not that I am overjoyed, but I have indeed gained a lot since taking office."
Liu Jing said: "Liu Xiang, a famous scholar in the former Han Dynasty, once said: 'In a lake with ten steps, there must be fragrant grass; in a city with ten houses, there must be loyal men.' I also think so. The market is a place where the four directions gather, and those who visit the market every day use it as a guide.
Wanji, there are so many people in Wanji who are worthy of my attention, and I have actually met a lot of new friends in the past few days."
Du Xi nodded and said: "Zhongda, you are a humble person, but you have a very high spirit. The people you can fall in love with and make friends with must have their own merits."
"The most gratifying thing for me is to get to know Zhuge Kongming. He is from Langya, Xuzhou. Although he is only young, he has extremely high talents and ambitions. What is even more rare is that we have the same mind, like-minded people, and can't get along more than once."
Today, we have become irreconcilable friends." Liu Jing did not hide the joy in his heart.
Du Xi was greatly surprised. In his impression, Liu Jing had a calm personality and was indifferent in dealing with things. He could not change his demeanor even if Mount Tai collapsed. He did not expect that he still had such a side.
Moreover, Liu Jing has always been conceited. He admired this young man named Zhuge Kongming so much that Du Xi couldn't help but become curious and wanted to see with his own eyes whether he was really as outstanding as Liu Jing described.
"This son's surname is Zhuge, but he is a descendant of Zhuge Feng, the former captain of the Han Dynasty?" There is only one person with the surname Zhuge in the world, and Du Xi easily guessed Zhuge Liang's origin.
"Exactly." Liu Dingding nodded and briefly introduced Zhuge Liang's situation to Du Xi. During the process, he inevitably talked about the fight between his uncle Zhuge Xuan and Zhu Hao for Yuzhang.
Zhuge Xuan is a famous scholar in Xuzhou Langya, but Du Xi doesn't think highly of him. He thinks that in a time of peace, he might be able to be a two-thousand-stone prefect, but in a time of chaos, he can only be as helpless as he is now. Following the crowd, he is just an ordinary person.
The two of them were both extraordinary in wisdom and knowledge. They talked for a long time and enjoyed each other very much. Before they knew it, it was time to close the market.
Hearing the sound of the drums, Du Chai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really a pleasant thing to come here with pleasure and come back with pleasure. The only regret is that I can't have a drink."
Liu Jing could only express that he was helpless about this. He was not Huang Qiu, who dared to drink openly in the market. He finally had a good reputation, how could he not cherish it.
But speaking of wine, Liu Jingzhen planned to invite Du Xi to drink. He would take a break the day after tomorrow and had nothing else to do except go to Duting to visit Zhuge Liang's family. He had a lot of time left and couldn't just sit around in the house, so he planned to go to the city in the city. Hold a banquet in a wine shop, invite a few friends, raise a glass and talk about the world, cook wine and talk about heroes. Only in this way can you live up to your time.
Regarding Liu Jing's invitation, Du Xi didn't even think twice and agreed. In fact, he had a dinner date the day after tomorrow, but since Liu Jing had asked, he had to come anyway, so he had to find a way to postpone the previous dinner party.
Since his family moved to Changsha, Du Xi has kept a very low profile. However, his status as a famous scholar in Yingchuan and his refusal to obey Liu Biao are like the bright moon in the night sky. He is highly sought after by the Changsha nobles, even if he is behind closed doors. If you don't go out, you still have to have a lot of social activities, which makes people very upset.
Liu Jing accompanied Du Xi out and saw Huang Qiu passing by the door pretending to be nonchalant. The two of them saw through his intentions at a glance and simply stood there and watched his performance quietly.
Huang Qiu saluted Du Xi, and while offering him a famous thorn, he said: "Huang Qiu, I am the owner of the market building. Du Jun is a famous person in the country. I have admired him for a long time. Today I learned that Du Jun came to the lower building. I am very happy, but I have never met Du Jun before, so I hesitate to move forward for fear of disturbing you."
Du Xi glanced at Liu Jing, and exchanged a few words with Huang Qiu for his sake. Du Xi was a celebrity who even Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, could not make him surrender. With Huang Qiu's status, he could not get in touch with him at all. Now he has The chance to say a few words was a complete surprise.
Huang Qiu was just an insignificant interlude and was quickly dismissed by Du Xi.
Du Xi came in an ox cart, and Liu Jing took advantage of it and took a ride back to the official residence.
In addition to Du Xi, Huan Yi was also the one he invited. After several contacts in the past few days, he believed that Huan Yi was slightly inferior to his brother Huan Jie, but he was still an outstanding person and worthy of his friendship.
Liu Jing remembered that on his first day when he took office, Huan Yi happened to be returning from a holiday, so the two of them were holidaying on the same day. If they couldn't come up with the same time, even the invitation would be in vain.
After Huan Yi, Japan had no intention of resting, so when he heard that Liu Jing wanted to invite him to have a drink with him, he readily agreed.
Coming out of the Huan Yi House, Liu Jing hesitated whether to invite his elder brother Liu Pan...
First of all, there is a problem: Liu Panxiu has a different holiday than him, so he may not have time to attend the banquet.
Next are Du Xi, Huan Yi and Zhuge Liang whom he plans to invite this time. The older one is only twenty-four and the younger one is fifteen. The "Li" says: "If you are older than twice as long, your father will take care of you; if you are older than ten years, then your father will take care of you.
If they are older than five years, they will follow each other." The maximum age difference between them is no more than ten years, so they can interact on a relatively equal basis.
But the clan brother Liu Pan was different. He was thirty-four years old, twice as old as Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang. It was difficult for them to let go of drinking with him.
Based on the above considerations, Liu Jing finally gave up the plan of inviting his clan brother Liu Pan.
