What should I do if I meet a scumbag? Liu Yuxi tells you

Do you always complain about the annoying scum around you? And this scumbag always has nothing to find fault with you?

What should you do if you encounter a scumbag? Liu Yuxi tells you

Don’t complain, I tell you, there are three realms of dealing with scum:

First, stay away from disgusting scum and give me a clean world;

Second, smile in the face of scum and have a strong psychological offensive;

Third, scum has been notorious for thousands of years, and its name will last forever.

Reaching the first level: Awesome! Don't do anything, don't say anything, that's what a gentleman does.

Reaching the second level: amazing! Mentally strong, invincible, and invincible.

Reach the third level: Kneel down and add a hundred zan!

According to legend, during the Mid-Tang Dynasty, there was an official named Liu Yuxi, who was said to be a descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan.

This old Liu has a good family background. It's a pity that when I was young, I made a chess friend because I loved playing Go. From then on, he was implicated by this chess friend all his life, but he had no regrets.

This chess player was the prince at that time, and later the king of Bandu.

Yes, some say he is a relative.

Let historians debate what kind of person the king was. We only know that the "Eternal Chastity Reform" he encouraged failed one hundred and forty-six days later, and Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan and others who participated in it were demoted to Yuanzhou Sima, known as the "Eight Sima" in history.

Wang was sentenced to death, Shunzong was forced to abdicate, and our hero Liu Yuxi began his 23-year exile.

After passing through Lianzhou Governor, Sima, Langzhou, and Kuizhou, we came to Anhui and Hezhou.

Our story has just begun.

2.

It was a spring in 825 AD. In Anhui and Hezhou, the willow trees are green and the peach blossoms are blooming.

Located on the edge of the Yangtze River Delta, it has a north subtropical humid monsoon climate. Yuxi River, Niutun River and Desheng River flow into the Yangtze River in parallel. Oh, sorry, I like geography too much. In short, Lao Liu is very happy to be here. Although he was demoted, he came to this relatively prosperous place from the "desolate land of Bashan and Chushui".

However, Lao Liu did not expect that here, he would meet a big scum in his life, which would ruin his reputation for a long time. This person is the county magistrate.

Demotion of officials in the Tang Dynasty has no status, but this cannot be the reason for the prefect to embarrass Liu Yuxi. After all, as Secretary of the Secretariat, Liu is at least equivalent to the current Municipal Party Committee Secretary. This prefect is the county magistrate.

The county magistrate doesn’t know what his motive is. According to regulations, Lao Liu should live in three rooms in the Yamen, but this scumbag wanted Lao Liu to live in the south gate of the city, a place far away from the city. This Yamen is not opened by your family. Why not let people live with Lao Liu?

Unknowingly, Lao Liu arrived at his new home, facing the river, which was completely deserted. He was very happy and thought that this magistrate was really good. How does he know that I like peace and quiet or not?

So, facing the little white sails on the Yangtze River, I started to write a couplet: Looking at the white sails in front of the Yangtze River, arguing with Zeus.

The magistrate of Hezhou was very angry. He actually immediately sent someone to attack Liu. This time, from the south gate to the north gate, the housing area is reduced by half.

Lao Liu is not a fool either. This is too much! I haven't seen enough of "White Sail" yet. How do I move when I move?

Liu has been thinking about where he offended the county magistrate. He reasoned that there were only three possibilities:

First, he did not give him a gift, so he deliberately took the opportunity to cause trouble;

B. Since ancient times, literati have looked down upon each other, and he was jealous that his poems were better than his own Good;

C. He is a member of the opposition party of "Yongzhen Reform".

If the answer is A, there will be no second move. Anyway, the yamen won’t let you stay, so out of sight is out of mind; if the answer is B, write another couplet and stick it on the door. Although he was jealous, he would not let himself move. If the reaction is still so intense that he has to move, then he must be part of the opposition.

So, he deliberately stood outside the door and pretended to look at the scenery, facing the sparkling Desheng River. Although it is not as wide as the river, it has a unique charm. Suddenly, his brows wrinkled, and he thought of something. After returning, he began to write couplets: Weeping willows and green water, people are in the sun, and their hearts are in Beijing.

Look carefully, everyone. What you are facing is not a big river at all, just a river. If the magistrate was jealous of Liu's good poetry, it would be impossible to see such a big mistake, right?

However, after the couplet was posted, the magistrate was still very angry. This time, he moved Lao Liu to a simple room in the city.

There is no doubt that this magistrate is a person who opposes innovation.

What he cares about is not the first half of Liu's couplet, but the second half! Are you in Illinois and still want to “argue”? Do you still want to "be in Beijing" when you are in Liyang? What do you want? Do you still want to make a comeback?

So he repeatedly made things difficult for Lao Liu, and then simply found him a shabby apartment in a slum. Look, you can only fit a bed, a table, and a chair. It's only 20 square meters at most, and it doesn't even have a bathroom.

3.

The magistrate, who thought he had done great things, was waiting for Liu Yuxi to come to him with a livid aura. He was sitting in the lobby twirling his sparse beard, and even the words to humiliate Liu Yuxi had flashed through his mind several times.

But he waited from sunrise to sunset, and from sunset to sunrise, but Liu Yuxi still didn't come.

Will Lao Liu come up with his theory?

Of course, the answer is no.

Because it is really dirty to borrow your right to wear small shoes.

Who is Liu Yuxi? His good friend Liu Zongyuan has always praised him as a "poet". At the age of nine, he began to learn poetry through poetry, which was clear and clear. At the age of 19, he went north to Chang'an; at the age of 22, he followed Liu Zongyuan and passed the Jinshi examination; at the age of 24, he was awarded the title of Prince Edward; after that, he made friends with Li Yi and Duan, who were famous at that time. After the age of thirty, he participated in the revolution.

Liu Yuxi, that is a man with the world in mind. How can a scum like you make a profit and live such a miserable life?

Let’s talk about the poems written by Lao Liu.

When everyone was sad about autumn, Lao Liu said, I think autumn is better than spring! Look at the clear sky. A white crane flew up from the clouds, and it immediately led my interest in writing poetry to the blue sky. "Since ancient times, every autumn has been sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than spring. The sky is bright and clear, the cranes fly over the clouds, and the poems must reach the Fairy Bixiao."

People demoted Kuizhou, Looking at the young men and women singing love songs by the lake, he couldn't help but sing the praises of beautiful love: the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, but the sun shines brightly on the road. When he wrote this poem, Lao Liu was already fifty years old.

On the way from Kuizhou to Hezhou, we took a boat through Dongting Lake. It was a moonlit night. Seeing the calm lake surface so peaceful under the moonlight and the green Dongting Lake standing in the white Dongting Lake, Lao Liu was full of poetry. He also recited the poem "Looking at the beautiful scenery of Dongting in the distance, there are green snails in the silver plate".

Do you think Liu Yuxi, who can write "In the old society, Wang Xietang walked before the swallows and flew into the homes of ordinary people", can be as knowledgeable as this little county magistrate?

Do you think the person who can recite "Thousands of sails beside the sunken ship, Wan Muchun in front of the diseased tree" is on the same level as this person who always embarrasses others and thinks he is great?

Do you think that Liu Yuxi, who has a firm belief in life and believes that "it is difficult for a thousand people to point it out, but it is impossible to blow away all the sand in front of gold" as his life creed, would go to a small county government to find that scumbag's theory?

Realm, this is the realm.

So Lao Liu sat in this small shack with a sarcastic smile on his face. Then I began to write the famous "Inscription on the Humble Room". This time I didn't stick it on the door, but had it carved on a stone:

The mountain is not high, but the immortals are famous. The water is not deep, the dragon is the spirit. It's a shabby room, but I'm kind. The moss is green and the grass is green. There is a scholar who keeps saying, but there is no Ding Bai between us. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Classics. No messy ears, no tedious work. Zhuge Liang is in Nanyang, and Tingyun is in Xishu.

Confucius said: "What's wrong?"

When he saw the eighty-one words on the stone of the magistrate, his face turned green with anger. However, it doesn't matter if your face turns green. After two days, you'll be back to your true self. The key is that behind these 81 words, every sentence and every word is like a whip, lashing the prefect's heart. They lined up neatly and mockingly called him "scum"! And this title will accompany him from generation to generation. Even if he is buried in a grave, his flesh rots and turns into dirt, this title will never change.

Lao Liu successfully counterattacked with an article and made a beautiful turnaround. He put his hands behind his back with a smile, looked at the rosy sunset sky and said, "Sang Yu is too late, because the sky is still full of colorful clouds." This year, Old Liu was fifty-three years old.
