Baidi Chunshen

亡…

…with people of lofty ideals from all over the world, hand in hand with the world, jumping horses to fight, finally see the rivers and seas, the people live and work in peace, singing and dancing, and the revival of rituals and music.This is Liu Bei's wish.If you don't want to live happily with you like this, it's better to perish...

…Embracing the talents of wind and music, a scholar of Liangping and ingenuity, if he does not meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, let him show his ambition and join hands to establish a foundation.Instead, under the old forest and spring, it is like a phoenix bird that gradually ages and perishes, without seeing a phoenix tree to live in for a lifetime.How sad that is.Ma Liang remembered that Zhuge Liang had said this to him.

The song is over, and the aftertaste is still there.There was silence all around, and applause broke out after a while.Liu Bei had been slightly drunk before, but now he was even more intoxicated. He was so excited that he grabbed the hand of Yiji beside him: "I heard that Xiangling Qin, the oiran of the Chu Pavilion, is the best in Xiangyang, and she once taught Qin Gong to play the piano. She Can this song be better than Young Master Qin?! I just wish I hadn’t heard this song sooner!”

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "Good song! Good song!! Come on! Let him come and accompany me for a drink!"

Although there was a lot of noise, Liu Bei was born in the army and started shouting military orders when he was a teenager. He had already developed a sonorous voice that easily overwhelmed the noise.Now the whole house heard it, and everyone looked towards the East Wing.Ma Liang, who was holding the piano up on the stage, was also taken aback for a moment, and then looked over coldly.

"..." Liu Bei's face was still a little flushed because of being slightly drunk. He looked at the crowd that suddenly fell silent, and then looked at the thrush boy on the stage with a face as cold as ice. He didn't know what happened.

Yi Ji hastily tugged at his sleeve: "General! The four sons of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not actors, but celebrities from Jingxiang. This is the fourth son of the Ma family in Yicheng, Xiangyang. The fifth son of the Ma family is also famous for his talent. He is also known as Ma Liang. The most outstanding. Ma Shi Wuchang, Baimei the best, refers to him!"

"But his eyebrows are not white..."

"That's the reason why he is called the thrush boy! He doesn't want people to know his real identity, so every time he enters the Chu Pavilion, he must first thrush..."

"Sir, why didn't you say it earlier!" Liu Bei said anxiously, "Why didn't Yide tell Gu before!"

Yi Ji sighed: "I'm afraid that General Zhang doesn't know Ma Liang. Mr. Qin rarely comes to the Chu Pavilion, let alone how to get acquainted with him when General Zhang gets drunk every time he comes. The other two young masters come even less. Wolong, the dragon never sees the end, and it is rare to come here in half a year. People can only watch the calligraphy couplets he left here. The chess master Fengchu, it is said that he had a quarrel with the Wolong master, and has already left Jingzhou in anger and headed for Jiangdong .Only the chess records are left..."

People started making noise again.Amid the din of people, Ma Liang held the piano and walked slowly towards the desk where Liu Bei and his gang were.

Liu Bei has not yet recovered from the shock.Looking closely, Fang Jue saw only a Wenxiu youth in his eighteenth or nineteenth year in front of him. Although his appearance was very beautiful and his eyes were dark and lively, his gestures and gestures already had the air of a celebrity.It can be seen that there are poems and books in his stomach, and he is a child of an aristocratic family who has been influenced by rituals and music.

And, oh my god - he's so young!

He liked the boy in front of him so much that he ignored the anger in the corners of Ma Liang's eyebrows.In Ma Liang's eyes, Liu Bei's astonishing expression also turned into frivolity.

"Grand... don't you want to drink with me?" Ma Liang stared at Liu Bei for a moment, then opened his lips and sneered.

The disciples of Liu Bei present looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what to do.Jian Yong, on the other hand, couldn't hold back his laughter, turned around and covered his sleeves, and could not stop laughing.

Liu Bei got up hastily, bowed deeply and said, "Liu Bei has seen the young master."

Now Ma Liang was startled.He is Liu Bei?Liu Bei is already a general in his 50s and [-]s. He is famous all over the world, and his virtuous names are spread all over the world.He is willing to do this great gift to a young man like him.His every move, even every syllable of his deep voice, was inaudible, insincere and disrespectful.

He didn't know whether it was the same when Emperor Yao visited Shun in the fields, and King Wen visited Jiang Ziya who was fishing by the Wei River.But he just thought of it suddenly.

But young and vigorous, he would not calm down, so he held the piano and bowed slightly, as a return of courtesy, and then said with a smile: "General, you are a man of courtesy."

Although this is an affirmative word, but Ma Liang said it very lightly, with a slightly raised tone, which made people hear it as if he said: General, do you know how to be polite?

One of Liu Bei's disciples couldn't bear it any longer, looked straight at Ma Liang, and shouted loudly: "Liu Shijun is famous all over the world, he is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, how can he not be polite? You are young, how dare you be presumptuous..."

Liu Bei raised his hand to stop the guests, looked at Ma Liang, raised his head and smiled and said, "How can Liu Bei not be polite? Monarchs and ministers should be courteous, and ministers should be loyal to the emperor. Courtesy not only regulates the behavior of a gentleman, but also clarifies the rules of human relations: monarchs and ministers, father and son, husband and wife , brother, friend. In the world of life, if you don’t follow the rules, you will always ignore the rules and give up your duties to the country, the king, and the subjects. If Liu Bei doesn’t know the rules, he will be ashamed to be a hero.”

What Liu Bei said made Ma Liang's expression change from surprise to admiration, and then to faint disappointment and anxiety.I heard that when Liu Bei was young, he followed his mother's order to learn from the great Confucian Lu Zhixing.Unexpectedly, Liu Bei, who doesn't like reading, would have won the heart of a sage only by listening to his teacher's lectures on the Four Books and Five Classics.No wonder he insisted on the way of benevolence and righteousness in troubled times, and traveled thousands of miles. After several victories and defeats, he was still indomitable.Although there is no space in the world, he still does not show frustration, but does not lose his heroic demeanor.If it is said that Confucius traveled around the world and educated all peoples, he is the most holy teacher.Then Liu Bei is a hero of the world who has the world in mind and embodies the way of Confucius' benevolence and righteousness.

People live up to their name.Liu Bei just lost his composure because he was slightly drunk.The real him is indeed a hero...

So Ma Liang sighed: "It turned out that the general saluted me not because of his good reputation, but because the general should not be ashamed to be a hero."

"The son cares about whether Liu Bei's behavior is proper or not, which shows that he has the heart to rule the world and calm the chaos, and seeks to understand the Lord. Liu Bei just said that the emperor and the envoys are polite, how can I not be polite to you?" Liu Bei laughed.

"You--" God, this is the so-called style of the ancestors, the hero... oh no, the weapon of the rogue?

This remark is straightforward and bold.But he was not rude.The doormen all laughed.Jian Yong's loud laughter was heard everywhere.It only made the young Ma Liang stand there, not knowing what to do.If it weren't for holding a piano, I would really be at a loss.

After Jian Yong laughed, he looked at Ma Liang and waved: "Come on, young master. Sit down and talk."

Ma Liang didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to sit down first, put the qin on the table, and bowed to Liu Bei again.Only then did he remember that the first half of what Liu Bei said just now was to see through his thoughts.

The young master cares about whether Liu Bei's behavior is proper or not, which shows his desire to rule the world and calm the chaos, and to seek the master of enlightenment.

That's right... I came to test Liu Bei on the order of my elder brother, and Liu Bei knew his mind as soon as he saw his face, as if he had the ability to read minds.The previous faux pas, mistaking him for a young man, was also because I chose an impolite way to meet Liu Bei in this romantic place.I was naughty and rude first, how can I blame Liu Bei for being rude?

The middle-aged general looked at the polite and gentle Ma Liang with a smile, and his eyes became more loving: "My lord, it's obviously not very willing to come to drink with Liu Bei. Then, how about drinking with you alone?"

Ma Liang stared wide-eyed at Liu Bei at first, then bowed his head: "Your junior dare not."

"I can't listen to your qin music in vain." Liu Bei said, stretched out his hand to lift the jug, poured a glass for Ma Liang, put his hands in front of him, and said with a smile, "My lord, please."

"..." It was only then that Ma Liang realized that he was still young and immature, and he didn't know how to deal with this veteran General Liu who had experienced so much in the world.Liu Bei is tactful, but still has a strong character.Just a few words and actions have turned him from contempt and anger to admiration.Even a little... awed.

It is not the fear and awe of the king's bureaucracy.Because Liu Bei is kind and approachable, he is more like a parent and teacher who can be relied on.

Brother Zun... I think he is the enlightened master you are looking for.

But it was just a few moments, just a few words.Liang is not entirely sure.Wait until I continue to test him.

***

Ma Liang took the wine bottle in Liu Bei's hand and drank it down.After putting down the wine bottle, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How did the general know that you are the enlightened master I am looking for?"

"Young master, the sound of the piano is elegant and correct, which is the generosity of a gentleman. Obviously, he would not go north to Cao Cao, and join forces with wolves. Liu Bei is right in front of you, how do you know that Liu Bei is not your bosom friend?" Liu Bei laughed.

Ma Liang thought of brother Zun's words, there are seven ways to know people.Ask what is right and what is not, and watch its aspirations.Liu Bei fought for half his life, and the world has long judged whether what he did was right or wrong, so this half-century-old general is famous all over the world today.I thought he would be as vulgar as Emperor Gaodi, but unexpectedly, even though Liu Bei is a general, he has already remembered the way of sages.And I'm afraid I remember it better than many so-called scholars and bachelors.

It's hard to see his bravery after telling him about disasters. When Tai Shici and Tao Qian asked him for help due to difficulties, Liu Bei had already shown his bravery.

Now, Ma Liangqiong observes the changes with his words.I saw that Liu Bei was calm and coped with it freely.It is not the witty eloquence of the unparalleled scholar, but the solemnity and arrogance of the king.

"I heard that General Liu loves music. Since he is a bosom friend, how can he know the three major piano pieces in the world today?" Ma Liang asked again.

"I'm talking nonsense." Liu Bei nodded, "Cai Yong in the north remembers his old friends, Zhou Lang in the east of the river sings along the river, and then there is the young master's phoenix Qiuhuang."

"No," Ma Liang said with a smile, "it's Brother Zun's song of waiting for the time. The phoenix soars thousands of miles away, and it can't live unless it's a tree. The scholar is on one side, and he can't rely on it unless he is the master."

Liu Bei laughed loudly: "Brother Ling... Could it be that you know that Gu likes Chu Sheng, so you compose this song in Lisao style? How lucky is Liu Bei to meet Qu Yuan and Song Yu. My son has the beauty of Song Yu's talent." He said, and put the wine bottle again fill up,
