Ten points to read original
In the history of Northern Song Dynasty literature, there is a famous "Prime Minister Poet".
When he was 5 years old, he was familiar with the history of the Bible and wrote chapters;
At the age of 14, he entered the exam as a child prodigy and was born as a scholar;
18 years old, Ren Guanglu Temple;
After that, it was even more open and hung all the way, and finally the official worshiped the prime minister and became rich for a lifetime.
This person is Yan Shu, the talented man who wrote "Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu swallow returns".
People in the official field, in a high position, although Yan Shu has unlimited scenery on the surface, in fact, he is cold at a high place.
Because of this, he has a different face:
Treat the superiors, hide the wisdom and hide the front;
Treat friends and be at ease;
Treat your family with deep affection.
The first face: to the superior, Hidden Wisdom Hidden Front
The Cai Gen Tan says: "Hide cleverly in clumsiness, use obscurity and clarity." ”
Perhaps from the day he entered the official field, Yan Shu had already understood this truth, and he had done it just right.
In his early years, Yan Shu was chosen by the emperor as the crown prince's companion.
For this sudden favor, Yan Shu had speculated countless times in his heart.
Admittedly, he was talented, but There was no shortage of Junjie in Fenjing, so why did the emperor choose himself?
This made Yan Shu, who had always been indisputable, worry for a long time.
Later, he learned that it was the emperor who had heard that the ministers of the pavilion were keen on pleasure and banquets, but he was the only one who studied behind closed doors, so he promoted him out of the ordinary.
When the emperor asked him why he did not have fun and feast with everyone, Yan Shu sincerely said to the emperor:
"It's not that the minister doesn't like to feast and gather, but it's just that he has no money to squander. If the subject has the financial resources, he must have gone with them. ”
It was such a clumsy and straightforward sentence that answered the emperor's questions and did not offend the colleagues who had fun and feasted.
Foolish people always put wisdom in their mouths, afraid that others will not know their own abilities; and true wise people often know how to put wisdom in their hearts.
Yan Shu once wrote in the "Xie Er Jian": "The sharp one, the power of the Er. If you want to reduce it, you will not be able to show it. ”
The greatest wisdom in dealing with the world lies in "hiding and hiding", implicitly and implicitly, and only then is it the most powerful.
In the first year of Qianxing, Emperor Zhenzong of Song died of illness, leaving behind his empress Dowager Liu and crown prince Zhao Zhen.
Due to the young age of the new emperor, Empress Liu began to bow to the government, and the court was divided into two factions: Kou Zhun and others strictly opposed the empress dowager's obedience to the government and demanded that the government be returned to the emperor, while the chancellor Ding Zhi and his faction wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to monopolize the government.
On the one hand, the powerful Empress Liu, on the other hand, the new emperor where Dayi was located, just when the courtiers were taking sides, Yan Shu chose to "dress transparently".
Maybe he has his own considerations, maybe he always holds the attitude of mingzhe to protect himself, in short, he does not help each other, and he always refuses to wade through this muddy water.
Unfortunately, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind was not stopping, and although Yan Shu chose to be silent, the court wind and clouds still swept him in.
Forced to do so, he could only make a "moderate" suggestion to the imperial court:
All ministers who played to the empress dowager were required to report through the curtain, so as to avoid nepotism and to avoid the chancellor from seducing the saint.
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Some people criticize him for being sleek and sophisticated, some people are not angry at his idleness, and some people say that he is full of charm.
But they didn't know that this was exactly how Yan Shu handled the world, and it was also his skill.
Yan Shu has not fallen in the official arena for many years, relying on the ability of this "hidden wisdom and hidden edge".
The Tibetan Feng is the humility of success, the introversion of being down-to-earth and clumsy, and the realm of self-cultivation.
Only by enjoying a moment's "bloom" and hiding the edge can we obtain eternal glory.
The second face: treat friends and be at ease
Above the court, Yan Shu is a calm prime minister who "hides wisdom and hides the front, and Mingzhe protects himself";
In life, he is a free-spirited and talented man.
"The lack of true friends is the purest, most pitiful loneliness; without friendship, this life is nothing but a wilderness."
Yan Shu's real friends are not many, first, he has been in a high position for many years and it is difficult to make deep friends; second, he is self-conscious and high-minded, which is inevitable to make people unhappy.
But two of them can be called his closest friends: Wang Qi and Zhang Kang.
In dealing with his colleagues in the official arena, Yan Shu was sleek and courteous, and looked at each other coldly; for these two best friends, Yan Shu treated each other with sincerity and sincerity.
Wang Qi is a poet friend who hates late at night.
One year in the late spring, the two of them sat opposite each other by the lake, and Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Every sentence or a beautiful year can't be right, that is, 'helpless flowers fall away', so far it has not been right." ”
Who knew that Wang Qilang laughed loudly: "Déjà vu Yan has returned." ”
This joint sentence was natural and ingenious, and Yan Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his heart also gave birth to admiration.
Since then, his relationship with Wang Qi has become increasingly close, not only often composing poems and drinking together, but even recommending him to the museum, truly helping him enter his career.
As another close friend of Yan Shu, although Zhang Kang's literary talent is not obvious, he has more than enough to be bold.
The three of them often traveled in groups and blew their trumpets.
After a day of feasting and drinking, after three rounds of wine, Wang Qi suddenly pointed at Zhang Kang and said, "Zhang Kang touched the wall into eight characters." It means that the figure eight is shaped like a bull's horn, and Wang Qi is making fun of him for being as strong as an ox.
Zhang Kang smiled and replied, "Wang Qi wangyue shouted three times." "The ape cries three times and tears stain the clothes, Wang Qi is thin, partial and clever, is not like an ape?"
The guests laughed and praised the two people for their talents, and Yan Shu even laughed and turned forward and backward.
Perhaps, this was the happiest and most pleasant time in Yan Shu's life.
Such happy times, like green moss, crawl inch by inch in the dark old house, making the dark place give birth to color.
Another time, the three of them went rafting together, Yan Shu was responsible for taking the helm, and the other two held a bamboo penny.
After a while, when the boat reached the bottom of the bridge, it suddenly hit the stone pillar and the whole ship crossed over.
Zhang Kang was still struggling to hold on to the pen, and Wang Qi laughed and shouted, "The direction of Yan Gong's helm is not right!" ”
In fact, Yan Shu did not know how to row, and after listening to Wang Qi's words, he couldn't help but laugh and laugh, completely without the majesty of the prime minister.
When the sun was blazing, the wind was warm and the water was clear, the three people all looked a little embarrassed.
You look at me, I look at you, alive and free like three children.
Their friendship, like a slow-growing plant, is nourished by its true disposition and gradually flourishes.
As the saying goes: "It is enough to meet a confidant in life." ”
Being with a close friend is like entering a spacious free space.
There, you can take off the mask of maturity, don't have to disguise, and laugh and play as you please;
You can pour out the loneliness behind the aura, without hiding it, and lick your wounds without scruples.
True friends are the people you share when you are happy, the people you look for when you are in pain, the people who are really happy when you rise, and the people who accompany you through the loneliness and cold when you are at a low point.
Friendship, like the blood in your life, warms your heart.
The third face: treating family members with deep affection
Look at the sky and look at the clouds, think of the king, sit also think of the king.
Like the wounded men in the world, Yan Shu also suffered from feelings throughout his life.
He had three wives in his lifetime: Li, Meng, and Wang.
Yan Shu and Li Shi are a young couple, and he privately compared Li Shi to Zhuo Wenjun, because Li Shi was very talented and good-looking, such as Hua Xieyu.
The husband and wife were originally a pair of Qinser and Ming, but they did not want Li Toh to die of illness at the most beautiful and young age.
What is even more sad is that within two years, Yan Shu's parents have also passed away.
Death has robbed Yan Shu of the warmth he possessed, he has been drunk and miserable, and he has complained about his grief, but he has also begun to learn to accept every arrangement in life.
Under the successive losses, he learned the truth of cherishing the people in front of him.
Eight years later, Yan Shu married his second wife, Meng Shi.
When Meng Shi married into the Yan Mansion, he wrote down the verse "Green sideburns and jade face looks like old", hoping that this lady Shaohua would stay forever, revealing a bit of cherishing the current happy time between the lines.
If Li Shi is the first surprise and heartbeat in his life, then Meng Shi is the warmth and companionship of a meal and a vegetable for the rest of his life.
Jin Yong said in the "Book of Swords and Enmity": Deep love does not live, and Hui Ji will be hurt.
A few years later, Meng also died of illness.
The pain of losing a loved one is like ripping off the flesh and blood of the heart, leaving a huge wound in our lives, and even if it heals, it will leave a vicious scar.
And this kind of pain, Yan Shu actually experienced it twice!
He gradually understood that the encounter and companionship between people is only a road, and there is always a fork in the road that will part ways.
In the journey of life, there are always people who keep coming, and some people who keep leaving.
When the new name becomes the old name, when the old name fades into obscurity, it is the end of one story and the beginning of another story.
Yan Shu's third wife, Wang Shi, was very different from the previous two.
She is jealous by nature, pampered in temperament, and she is also quite critical of the concubines around Yan Shu who can sing and dance.
But her feelings are as straightforward as her temperament.
She witnessed the glory of Yan Shu, and also experienced the lows of Yan Shu, she and Yan Shu changed from Zhu Yan to white hair, and never gave up.
Yan Shu once revealed his later life in "Appeal to Heartfelt Feelings", one of which wrote: "Car wine, unsettling, prosperity." ”
He was satisfied and content.
He also cherished the Wang family and gave her enough respect and courtesy; and the Wang family was also like a piece of dirt, nourishing the entire Yan family.
These feelings have been precipitated by time and appear precious.
"It is better to look at the green mountains and think far away, so it is better to take the people in front of you."
We always understand in the continuous encounter and staggering that the people around us can only accompany themselves through near or far, and cannot accompany themselves for a lifetime.
Therefore, instead of being sad about the doomed disappearance of the future, it is better to cherish the present time and enjoy the happiness of the present.
Everyone will have several different faces, but no matter how many faces you have, the heart under those faces is the only one.
In the courtroom, Yan Shu used the method of "hidden wisdom and hidden edge" to become a high-powered prime minister and achieved his life of wealth and mastery.
And when he left the deceitful court and returned to ordinary life, he became the talent of the true love and authenticity.
Three faces, one heart.
This became a unique charm on his body and also constituted the most beautiful scenery of his life.
