Hu Gui brought two things, one was a pot of tea, and the other was a jug of wine.

This pot of clear tea is made by picking a wild tea plant among the pine trees on Mount Tai. It must not be an ordinary product that can enter Hongyin's eyes. There is a hint of bitterness of green pine in it, which complements the bitterness of the tea itself, so it is called 'Song Yin Wu Tea'.

The altar of wine is not so precious, it's just sorghum wine. To fight the drought, Qingzhou planted a lot of sorghum. When You Hongyin saw it, he brewed it into wine, but the taste of the newly brewed sorghum wine was too strong and dry. Therefore, You Hongyin stored it in a bamboo cellar for two years, and added some medicinal materials. The prescription was learned by You Hongyin in some unknown life.The medicinal materials in that prescription have a mild taste and have little effect on the taste of the wine. On the contrary, it can remove the dryness and acridity in some wines, and has the effect of strengthening the body. It can be said to complement sorghum wine.Because the prescription contains hundreds of herbs, it is called Baicao Gusheng Decoction, and this wine is named Baicao Wine following the prescription.

The tea at this time is not the fried tea of ​​later generations, but fresh tea.Drinking tea is not to make tea, but to make tea. Put fresh tea leaves or sun-dried tea leaves into the pot, or use onions, ginger, jujubes, orange peels, dogwood, mint, etc., and boil them to a hundred boils, or make them slippery, or Cook to remove foam.To put it bluntly, it is to treat tea as a vegetable and cook it as a soup.Drinking tea in this matter is not elegant, and it does not win Heycha, just because tea has the effect of removing greasy and washing the stomach, and it is just for the health of the body.And because there is no processing technology for tea, only the nobles who can plant tea trees in some manors and can pick fresh tea at any time will drink tea.

At this time, the tea ceremony is not popular, so there are only wine to drink with friends and party on weekdays.Therefore, at this time, celebrities will become addicted to alcohol.However, the winemaking process is not perfect, and the wine at this time is mostly fruit wine and valley wine, with a low alcohol content. It is no wonder that those who drink all day long can call it massive.

So obviously they are more interested in wine than tea.

As soon as the seal of the strong and high-alcohol sorghum medicinal wine was lifted, the smell of the wine wafted away, refreshing the mind. The eyes of the three of them, including the monk who didn't drink, were immediately attracted.

"Good wine." Zhi Mindu blurted out: "It seems that some medicinal herbs have been added to the wine? Hahaha, there are often madmen who use wine to get rid of it, but they don't know that Cong Yue actually uses wine as medicine. It's really refreshing."

""Suwen·Treatise on Soup and Mash" once said that since ancient times, sages have made soup and mash to prepare ears. Wine has been used to help medicine since ancient times. However, the master made a mistake. The name of this wine is Baicao Wine. It is not wine that is used as medicine, but medicine that is used as wine. If wine is used as medicine, this jar is not wine but medicine, how can I show it for everyone to judge."

"Monk, I have read a few medical prescriptions. I only heard of decocting medicine with wine and taking medicine with sake, but I have never heard of brewing wine with medicine."

"Things in the world always have to move forward, otherwise, wouldn't it be stagnant? It never happened before, but it was just that there was too much water in the wine. After the medicinal materials were added, the wine was easily spoiled. And the wine in my hand was brewed by a secret method. It has a strong nature, so it is not easy to perish, and it can be stored for a long time." You Hongyin couldn't help smiling when he saw that the three listened seriously: "It's useless to talk more, it's better to taste it."

At this time, Lu's culinary expert had already cooked the sea bass, and immediately brought a few servants to serve the dishes.

A mixed water shield was made into a bowl of soup, and the rest were sliced ​​into golden jade slices by the Yi Ya master. I saw a bowl of water shield and fish soup with a strong fragrance, and the plate of golden jade slices was as thin as a cicada's wing. Coded in a white porcelain plate.

In front of the four of them, bowls, chopsticks and sauces were placed one by one, and the culinary expert said respectfully: "Because the master avoids taboos, the sauce may be insufficient. For seasoning, the fish soup has added green onion and ginger. Master, please let me know." Then people led others back.

"This fish dish is a testament to your servant's culinary skills." You Hongyin said.

But the Lu brothers were all attracted by the Baicao wine in front of them, Zhi Mindu sat upright, but couldn't help but glance at the wine glass.

But no matter how tempted the monk is, he will not act, so Zhi Mindu just put his hands together and said: "Test the monk's determination."

It is impossible for them to drink and let the master watch, You Hongyin immediately ordered to fetch a small stove, clay pot and a set of celadon tea set. Yin began to make tea.

The other three didn't interrupt, seeing the flowing movements of the person in front of them, their hearts swayed.

If listening to the piano in the bamboo forest and drinking in the music room shows the arrogant and unruly temperament of the contemporary literati, straightforward and unconventional, then what the people in front of them show is another kind of state of flowing clouds and flowing water, calm and clean, with high rhyme and tranquility.

Lu Yun was shocked. Compared with his elder brother Lu Ji, he didn't like those crazy men, who drank and took drugs day and night, and behaved insanely.

However, watching Guoxi's every move, Lu Yun seemed to have touched the edge of the "Tao". The resentment in his heart, the irritability of being locked at home, and the disgust of the world's affairs and people in the world gradually disappeared and went away. Take a sip of the teacup, the tea has an elegant and slightly bitter taste, with a sweet aftertaste, even mixed with a hint of pine leaf fragrance, which is completely different from the usual drink, as if what I used to drink was nothing more than worldly ditch water, but now it is The nectar of the world to drink.

Although my mood became calm after drinking, I didn't lose my fighting spirit like those hermits in the mountains. Instead, my mind became clearer than ever before.

"Is this tea?" Zhi Mindu asked after soaking for a long time.

"This tea is called Songyinwu Tea." You Hongyin said.

"This tea compares this table of delicacies and wines to ordinary things." Zhi Mindu said.

"Vulgarity and elegance are nothing but impositions on things by the world, so what have they to do with the things themselves?" You Hongyin said.

Hearing this, Lu Yun remained motionless, but his elder brother Lu Ji retorted: "If the thing itself has no meaning, how can others get a conclusion from it."

The two sides started discussions on this issue, eating fish, drinking wine, and tasting tea, while wildly discussing.It's just that the topic originally revolved around the idealism of 'philosophy', but later You Hongyin deliberately controlled it, and finally talked about political arguments.

"I once watched Brother Shiheng's "Debate on Death," You Hongyin said, "It is true that the diction is very thick and every word is pearls."

Although Lu Ji did not become an official in the Sima Dynasty and lived in seclusion behind closed doors in Changgu, it does not mean that he accomplished nothing. The status of a true literary master, even the world often compares "Debate on Death" with "On the Passing of Qin Dynasty".

Therefore, it is impossible to say that Lu Ji is not satisfied with his arguments.

But judging from You Hongyin's tone now, it doesn't seem to be completely admirable.

Lu Ji's temper is serious and self-disciplined, and he has a strong style. Hearing the young man's ambiguous evaluation, although he won't be angry, his temper has indeed come up. Obviously, he won't stop until he gets a satisfactory answer: "Oh, Your Excellency seems to have a different opinion on this. ?”

"The difference between each other is the difference between the talent and appointment." You Hongyin said a sentence in the Fu.

This sentence means that Sun Quan and Sun Hao have different political education and different appointments, so the endings are also different. It is also the central argument of this Fu: Soochow fell because the last generation of monarchs did not know how to use people well.

Lu Ji Lu Ji discussed Soochow's basic experience in creating a foundation and establishing a business in employing people.Relying on Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and other talents, Sun Ce was able to flatten the local separatist forces, occupy five counties including Wu, Kuaiji, and Lujiang, and establish a business in Jiangdong, thus laying the foundation for the subsequent Wu empire.And Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, has a broad mind, respects the virtuous and the corporal, is good at identifying talents, dares to use talents, sincerely trusts people, accepts advice with an open mind, does not listen to slander, sympathizes with the people like a son, etc., is not only an indispensable political character of a ruler, but also the Soochow The essential experience to thrive.

"What's the problem with this sentence? The rise and fall of the world is that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. There are three things that prosper, and the harmony of people is particularly important. Because the conditions of time and place ultimately require talents to make use of them. It's done." Lu Ji said proudly.

"Actually, Brother Shi Heng's political views can be summed up in four words, that is 'ruling the country by elites'. Whether it is the harmony between people, or the division of feudalism, it is the embodiment of the spirit of these four words." You Hongyin said leisurely: "However, such a choice can indeed rely on the charisma of the leader to unite a group in the short term, but it is easy to have the situation of Soochow. If one person dies, the world will die. It is ridiculous to tie the affairs of the world to one person."

Whether it's Lu Ji, who has a strict personality but stubborn, or Lu Yun, who has a treacherous mind and never sticks to the rules, or even the attitude of people outside the world, they are all dumbfounded.

No matter how proud the family is, how much political investment they make, even though they talk about a family with a strong dynasty, they will eventually weigh the pros and cons and choose a master.And the 'family' who turned from aristocratic family to royal family will think about how to hold on to the power in hand, how to divide the largest and most beautiful piece of the world's cake into their own pockets.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, it is very normal for the emperor to affect the rise and fall of the world by himself.

"In my opinion, using a hierarchical system to reduce the influence of this person is the key to a smooth world." You Hongyin said: "There were Yao and Shun in ancient times, but it is not the family world where fathers pass on to sons and no sons pass on to brothers. The human heart is only dangerous, the mind of the Dao is weak, and the essence is only one, and no one has remembered what Yunzhi said."

Lu Ji couldn't open his mouth to refute the rule of Yao and Shun, but felt that Guo Xi seemed to be shrewd, but in fact he was probably sick.

The abdication of the throne only happened to the two emperors Yao and Shun in ancient times. If it is really the truth of governing the country, how could it only be passed on for two generations.

However, Lu Yun is more witty and quick-witted than Lu Ji: "Everyone has selfish intentions. Who doesn't want his family to inherit thousands of generations and enjoy the state forever. What's more, the people in ancient times were not like today, and the land ruled by Emperor Yao and Shun was no more Now in Guanggao, if the system of recommending Zen seats is implemented, it will consume too much manpower and material resources, and it will easily lead to chaotic political scenes in the court." He shook his head and said, "Cong Yue, your point of view is too extreme, it's not good. "
