In a daze, Zheng Pu temporarily stayed in Qin's mansion for half a month.
During this period, as the Prefectural Mufu published the annotated version of the Thousand-Character Classic in the academy, allowing the common people to copy it at will, his reputation was mixed.
Those who are praised are the cliché-like talents of Shu, outstanding literary talents, etc.
But the slanderous remarks were made with all possible force.
For example, some people denounce Zheng Pu's annotations as too fabricated, absurd, false, and bizarre, which is really misleading.
Some people also expressed doubts similar to those raised by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang when he first saw the Thousand-Character Classic.
It is believed that the new calligraphy book was written by Zheng Pu’s late father, Zheng Du. Zheng Pu only stole his father’s work to gain fame in the world, which is despised by a gentleman!
There are even some famous scholars who are critical of the words and sentences in the calligraphy.
The most criticized phrase is "If you study well, you will become an official, and you will serve in politics."
Zheng Pu's comment on this sentence in the New Character Book is, "If you study well and have enough energy, you can become an official and participate in political affairs."
However, any Confucian scholar who is well versed in poetry and calligraphy can think of allusions to this statement and look for it.
It comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Zi Zhang", Zi Xia said: "If you are an official and you are good at it, you will learn; if you are good at learning, you will be an official."
Zixia's original intention is to point out that being an official is one of the ways to "learn from time to time" and apply what you have learned and cultivated into political practice; but there is no end to self-cultivation and learning, and being in politics can better cultivate one's self and promote benevolence.
The two explanations are completely opposite to each other.
Therefore, Zheng Pu was inevitably accused of taking quotes out of context and misinterpreting the meaning of the sages.
During these days in the Qin Mansion, scholars repeatedly sent letters to invite Zheng Pu out of the mansion to attend literary conferences to debate the meaning of Confucian classics.
Well, the Qin Mansion, one of the five imperial schools, is not something that ordinary people can visit. And those who are qualified to visit will not cause Qin Mi's dissatisfaction just to argue with a junior.
There are always very few people in high-ranking official positions who are ignorant of their interests.
Therefore, Zheng Pu also enjoyed his leisure time and simply rejected all these invitations to write books.
He is not so "elegant" and debates with others citing scriptures.
In particular, he had read those scriptures without asking for a thorough understanding, so why should he feel uncomfortable being made uncomfortable by a group of Confucian scholars?
However, he could not avoid the criticism of others, and even Qin Mi could not protect him.
That is Duxiang Hou, Liu Yan and Liu Weishuo.
He followed the former master Liu Bei when he was the pastor of Yuzhou. He was one of the Yuan clan and was always treated favorably.
Now he has reached the rank of chariot and cavalry general, and his court rank is second only to that of Li Yan. However, he does not participate in state affairs and only leads more than a thousand troops to serve as guards of honor.
He was a charming man, good at talking, and regarded himself as a celebrity. Even dozens of maids in his family were vocalists and taught him how to recite Lu Lingguang Palace Fu. However, he had a paranoid temperament and was extravagant in his car, clothes and food, so he was not liked by his colleagues.
.
When he saw that Qiao Zhou praised the new calligraphy book, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang praised Zheng Jiazi as a talented person in Shu, and also saw that Zheng Pu should not respond to the appointment of the state government, he repeatedly threatened him. He took Zheng Pu's failure to respond to the Confucian scholars' questions as evidence of a guilty conscience.
.
At many meetings between the government and the public, he denounced Zheng Pu as a person seeking fame and reputation.
The words are fierce and persistent.
For this reason, when Qin Mi returned home, he specially comforted him by saying, "Liu Weishuo's intention is to use an excuse to cause trouble and act like a Jie dog barking at Yao. Zi Jin just doesn't care."
Zheng Pu naturally nodded in agreement.
Even secretly, it is inevitable that the mind will be hard to calm down.
Qin Mi's relief made it very clear: Liu Yan, a member of the Yuan Cong clan, is using this topic to criticize him now because his late father, Zheng Du, did not serve as an official in the late lord Liu Bei. In order to criticize his unwillingness to serve in an official position,
Scholars from the state came to show their loyalty to the Shu Han, so as to invite the emperor to favor him!
As a human being, how can you belittle others to flatter yourself?
It’s really hateful!
When Zheng Pu was ashamed and annoyed, his heart also became a little gloomy.
In the world of family affairs, some things will not be settled just because the parents pass away.
For example, some members of the Yuan Clan still classified Zheng Pu as a disobedient who was unwilling to serve Liu Bei, the former lord, and was unwilling to support the authority of the Shu Han court.
Moreover, in the past half month, his mood has become somewhat depressed.
Because the things he hoped to be conquered by the Prime Minister's Palace were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Although Qin Mi secretly stated in private that he had revealed his plans to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was no feedback from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Perhaps, I am too whimsical.
He actually wanted to be admitted to the Prime Minister's Palace as a commoner at a young age.
Disheartened, he also made plans to say goodbye to Qin Mi and return to Shifang Mulberry Garden.
Little Zheng Yan came to Chengdu. After the initial novelty and several days of wandering around, she became bored and became constrained by the cumbersome etiquette here. She also thought about the voice and appearance of her long-lost mother, and began to look forward to her return.
well.........
It is better to go back.
Just waiting here will not help anything.
However, before returning, Zheng Pu decided to go to a banquet first.
It was Zhang Biao, a native of Chengdu, Shu County, who sent his family steward to the Qin Mansion to assassinate him.
Zhang Biao, also known as Boda, was a man of majesty and demeanor, and became famous in Bashu at a young age. He was the son of Zhang Song, who was formerly engaged in Yizhou Biejia.
Because his father had a secret relationship with the former lord Liu Bei who wanted to seize Shu, but he was executed by Liu Zhang without any agreement. Therefore, after the former lord settled Shu, he was treated favorably and was conscripted as a man before he was even worthy of the throne.
Now Prime Minister Zhuge Liang is in charge of the government, and he has been appointed as the governor of the state government, which is very useful.
However, these were not the reasons why Zheng Pu decided to go to the appointment.
Instead, Zhang Biao attached a few lines of small characters below the thorn in the jue.
He said: "Biao is a close friend of Wang Wenfu of Li County. When we were young, we traveled together in prefectures and counties, and we liked to discuss people. Wenfu also talked about Zijin's deeds, and expressed admiration for him. He often wished he could not see him! Now I heard that Zijin traveled to and from Chengdu.
, I was so overjoyed that I held a banquet in my home, swept the couch for you, and prayed that you would condescend to come."
Wang Wenfu of Qixian County is Wang You.
He was the son of Wang Fu, who was in charge of Cao Cao in Jingzhou, and he was also an in-law of the Zheng family.
Zheng Du's first wife at that time, the biological mother of his eldest son Zheng Yan, was Wang Fu's sister. Although Zheng Du later renewed their relationship, the relationship between the two families has always been very close. Not to mention the distance, in the military book Zheng Pu read in Sangyuan,
Some of them were copied from the Wang family in Li County by asking his brother Zheng Yan to come forward.
Well, the Wang family in Li County is a prominent family in Shu, and their family status is higher than that of the Zheng family in Shifang.
Now, since Zhang Biao mentioned Wang You in the invitation, Zheng Pu couldn't refuse due to both emotion and reason.
In particular, Wang Fu had died in the Battle of Yiling, and Wang You was now in mourning. If Zheng Pu had excused his refusal, he might have misunderstood Zhang Biao and felt that the friendship between the Zheng family in Shifang and the Wang family in Li County might have been lost.
not close.
Alas, human nature is so sophisticated.
Sometimes, you really can’t help yourself in living in this world.
According to the date stipulated in the greeting card, Zheng Pu visited the Qin family in advance, and after telling his younger sister not to act naughtily, he asked his retinue to drive the cramped deer cart to the Zhang Mansion empty-handed.
Even the nephew of the Qin family kindly prepared a gift for him to take with him, but he refused.
Since Zhang Boda has admired me for a long time, why do I need to bring gifts?
