Colleagues of Zhang Liang [comprehensive] Mu Liangqing

In the troubled times, gunpowder is filling the air, and the fate of the people is ill-fated.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the feudal lords fought for hegemony, and the feudal lords rose up together, dividing up the land of Emperor Zhou.The world is divided into five points first, and then seven points.When wars are raging everywhere, when wars are raging, the world is in troubled times.

It was the age of white clouds and dogs, and it was also the age of heroes.Civil servants and military generals, various schools of thought, showed their abilities to the fullest.

Some people live by martial arts, some live by strategy.

South Korea's Zhang family is undoubtedly the leader among thousands of latter.South Korea's hundreds of years of foundation has been laid down, and the Zhang family has produced many counselors and heroes.Wisdom and sincerity, the imperial family has always favored such talents.However, Yuemo's ancestors had too many talents. In contrast, in the youngest generation, Zhang Kaidi did not find anyone capable of taking on great responsibilities.

"There is a tree in the garden, and there is a cicada on it. The cicada lives high and sings mournfully. It wants to drink the dew, but it doesn't know that the mantis is behind it; Pecking a praying mantis without knowing that the projectile is under it..."

The immature sound of reading books lingered in the courtyard. In the study room, twelve children were holding bamboo slips. The older ones were eleven or twelve years old, and the younger ones were only five or six years old.Each knelt and sat in front of a low plane, concentrating on reading aloud, not daring to glance to the side.

After reading the article several times, Zhang Kaidi, who had been pacing in front, finally stopped in satisfaction.Twirling his gray beard, squinting his eyes, he asked slowly: "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows. This article is not long. What do you understand after reading it?"

The huge study room suddenly fell silent, and the sparrow that was parked on the window shed also seemed to smell the tension, and quickly flapped its wings and slipped away.

He opened his eyes and swept around the children who were facing the enemy, waiting for someone to stand up and answer.But after half a stick of incense passed, the study room was still quiet.

The Zhang family has a pivotal position in South Korea, assisted the kings of the four dynasties, opened up their status and ministers, and is assisting the fifth dynasty.These children are all his grandchildren, and he would go to the study to teach in person when the government is not busy on weekdays.The Zhang family family is huge, so naturally there are many descendants.But even if they were born in a famous family, they have mixed talents in terms of talent.

The literal meaning of the article is simple, but it takes a lot of effort to comprehend it.Zhang Kaidi had no intention of embarrassing himself, so he ordered the oldest "Zhang Zhi".

"Zhi'er, you are the eldest grandson of the Zhang family. You have studied for the longest time and are the most mature in thinking. Get up and talk."

The children beside him were relieved, and then began to gloat, watching how he answered, and then they were drawn a ruler.

Zhang Zhi was visibly shocked, propping up the low plane with both hands, stood up tremblingly, and said bravely, "Grandson... grandson is stupid, he only understands a little bit."

Zhang Kai was not very satisfied with this reaction, but it was expected, so he asked, "Which point?"

Zhang Zhi picked at the fabric of his sleeves with his fingertips, arched his back, and timidly said: "Tree, there are cicadas, praying mantises... and orioles on the tree."

After waiting for a long while, there was still no further words, "What else?"

Zhang Zhi stammered anxiously, his hands shaking his sleeves, "And... and... back to grandfather, grandson is stupid!"

"Stupid? You have self-knowledge!" Zhang Kaidi's face darkened instantly, he swept around the rest of the people, and said in a low voice, "You will be the heirs of the Zhang family in the future. , will there be half an inch of foothold?"

He walked back and forth again, the air in the room seemed to be stagnant, and the sound of breathing was terrifyingly clear.

It seemed that everyone was holding their breath, like death row prisoners awaiting trial.

He opened his eyes and spoke seriously for a long while, seeing that they were silent, he sighed helplessly, threw the bamboo slips onto the table, and began to explain the article: "The cicada wants to drink the dew, the mantis wants to eat the cicada, and the oriole wants to catch the mantis." All of these are only concerned with immediate interests, without consideration of the situation behind, which is short-sighted."

The children of the Zhang family nodded their heads one after another, and even Zhang Zhi, who was standing there, showed a look of enlightenment, and continued to speak openly:

"In life, if you want to make a living every step of the way, you have to wait and see. If you are in a dangerous situation and don't know it, it's no different from hanging yourself on a beam. Do you understand?"

All the children said in unison: "Understood—"

Looking at Zhang Zhi openly, "Zhi'er, do you understand?"

"Ming, I understand."

"That's good." Zhang Kai searched for a ruler and waved it in front of Zhang Zhi's eyes, "Stretch out your hand."

Zhang Zhi panicked, and quickly hid his hands behind his back, "Grandfather! I, I already understand."

Zhang Kai said: "Understand it. If you still don't understand after I have said so much, you are a rotten wood that cannot be carved, and it is useless to beat you. If you understand, it means that your mind is not stupid, but you just lack some diligence." , use a ruler to warn you, and spend more time studying after you go down."

Zhang Zhi pursed his mouth in grievance, and raised his palm tremblingly, "Grandfather, can you be gentle? The beating the day before yesterday still hasn't stopped..."

Unbearable flashed in Zhang Kai's eyes, and it only passed by, and with a hum, the half-inch-thick ruler fell into Zhang Zhi's palm.

"Ouch!" Zhang Zhi cried out in pain, but dared not take back his hand, tears fell down.

Every time he slapped, the sitting child followed suit, as if hitting himself.

After about ten or so strokes, the ground was opened and the ruler was slowly retracted.Zhang Zhi withdrew his hand while inhaling.

Zhang Kaidi didn't intend to end, and continued to read the article:

"The world is a towering tree. You can be a praying mantis, a cicada, or an oriole. You must think about it clearly, otherwise you will lose everything if you make a wrong move." He looked up at Zhang Zhi, "Zhi Son, if it were you, which one would you choose?"

Zhang Zhi is the oldest, so of course he usually bears the brunt of asking questions, but he has already been beaten today, so why ask him?

Instantly collapsed like a mourning concubine, sobbing: "Grandfather, can I ask a different brother—"

Frowning openly, he raised the ruler and waved it in front of his eyes.

Zhang Zhi was so frightened that he quickly took over the conversation: "——The grandson chooses the mantis!"

Anger ignited in the opened eyes, "And then? After eating the cicada, then into the belly of the oriole?"

Zhang Zhi was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to speak any more, waiting for the open ground to let him spread out his hands again.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, as if a taut string was about to break at any moment.

Sighing openly, he passed Zhang Zhi and asked a ten-year-old child behind him, "Xun'er, what about you?"

Zhang Xun stood up confidently, thinking that his answer was a thousand times better than his elder brother's, and proudly said: "Grandson chooses the oriole."

There was no emotion on the open face, "Why?"

Zhang Xun said clearly: "Although the mantis can catch the cicada, it will also enter the belly of the oriole. Although the oriole cannot eat the cicada, it is the final winner."

He was waiting to be praised, but he didn't know that when he read the article, he missed the "bullet" after the oriole.

This is not the best answer, but for a ten-year-old child, it is acceptable to be able to realize this.

Looking at him openly, as if thinking of something, he asked the rest of the people, "How many of you are left thinking the same as him?"

At this time, no one dared to stand up.Simply follow the herd and die together.

So, he wandered between the two rows of low planes with his hands behind his back, and every time he passed by a person, he heard the saying:

"The grandson also chooses the oriole."

"The oriole."

"It must be the oriole."

"Grandson wishes to be a oriole!"

From old to young, they walked slowly with their arms open, their faces getting darker and darker, until it was the last low plane's turn, and sitting there was the smallest person in the room——Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was only five years old, and his palm-sized body sat upright without making a sound.

Openly got no response.But after the previous "twists and turns", he lost both patience and hope, so he went straight past Zhang Liang and planned to leave the hall.

Unexpectedly, an immature but determined child's voice came from behind my ears:

"Grandfather, Zifang wants to be a tree planter."

In a word, it was as if a thunderbolt hit the ground.

Zhang Kai stopped for a moment, and after a moment's pause, he turned his head slowly.

He said a word before - "The world is a towering tree".

The children around opened their mouths wide enough to stuff a white egg.It's not that he understood Zhang Liang's implication, but he was shocked. He opened his mouth and planned to ignore it, and he was "out of danger", but he still stood up recklessly.

At that time Zhang Liang was only five years old, so he couldn't say much, but the keen insight he showed was enough to impress Zhang Kaidi.No matter which one of the cicadas, praying mantises, and orioles, although their eyesight is superficial, they also have some real skills for survival.As long as you get the tree, you get all three.Rather than playing chess in a game, it is better to be a chess player.

Zifang of the Zhang family has had great ambitions since he was a child, although he doesn't know it yet.

He stared openly at Zhang Haoliang for a long while, then raised his head and took a breath, seemingly grateful and thinking.After a while, he waved to Zhang Zhi who was still standing, "Sit down."

Zhang Zhi didn't understand the origin of it, he looked at his grandfather and then at Zhang Liang, nodded dully, and then sat down suspiciously.

Walked to the big table at the front with an open face, packed up the scrolls he had brought earlier, and said calmly, "Let's leave the hall."

There was a moment of silence in the room, then suddenly there was an uproar.

A group of children happily cleared the table as if they had been pardoned, and the bamboo slips collided with each other with a crackling sound.

He raised his eyelids openly amidst the sound of the bamboo slips, and said quietly, "The ovary is left behind."

Zhang Liang still maintained his sitting posture, tilting his head slightly, "Yes."

Zhang Kai said in a thick voice, "Starting tomorrow, you will stay an extra hour after class."

Zhang Liang paused, nodded, "Yes."

After that, Zhang Kaidi always took Zhang Liang by his side, and he personally taught everything from small poems and songs to big laws of the world.

The sharp-eyed servants of the mansion saw Zhang Kaidi's desire to cultivate Zhang Liang, so they reminded him: "Young master is too young to see anything. My lord thinks so highly of him with just one word, and doesn't care about other young masters. A little sloppy?"

But he was stubborn when he opened his eyes, he only raised his eyes to look at the blue sky, and said: "Just based on that sentence, the old man firmly believes that Zifang must be someone who can shake the world."

About a month later, Zhang Kai asked Zhang Liang expectantly, "Ovary, why do you want to be a tree planter?"

Zhang Liang carefully took out the bird's egg from his bosom, held it in front of his open eyes like offering a treasure, and said very seriously: "Because there are bird's nests on the tree."

That night, Zhang Liang didn't have dinner and knelt in the ancestral hall all night.
