Look at several interesting shots from Zongchen's "Book of Liu Yizhang"

"Bao Liu Yizhang Book" has long been selected into the middle school textbook, the article is not as famous as "Yueyang Lou Ji" and "Drunken Pavilion Record", but under close reading, several shots described are quite interesting to entertain readers.

Liu Yizhang, an old friend of Zongchen's father, wrote a letter to Zongchen praising him for "being superior from top to bottom, and only then can he be qualified for his position." Zongchen replied with the letter, describing the dark state of bribery at that time. Only a few shots are taken for viewing.

One of the shots: Asking to meet a wall

The door of the man who waits for power day and night, and the doorman does not enter, he is willing to flatter the woman, and the sleeve gold is private. That is, the doorman holds the piercing, and the master does not immediately see; between the servants and horses in the stable, the evil qi strikes the sleeve, that is, the hunger and cold are unbearable, and they do not go. At dusk, the former recipient of the gift, the guest said: "Xiang Gong tired, thank you!" Please come tomorrow! (Carelessness: When he rode from morning to night to the door of the powerful man's house to wait, the gatekeeper deliberately refused to let him in, so he pretended to be a woman with sweet words and secretly stuffed the money hidden in his sleeve to the gatekeeper.) After the gatekeeper entered with the name sticker, and the master did not come out immediately to receive him, he stood in the stable, with the servants and horses, and the smell of smoke was so bad that he refused to leave even if he was too hungry and cold or sweltering to bear. Until the evening, the gatekeeper who had previously accepted money came out and said to him: "Xianggong is tired, refuse to meet the guests, please come back tomorrow." ”）

Shot 2: Waiting in the stables

That is, tomorrow, I dare not come. Sitting in a cloak at night, smelling the chirping of chickens, he got up and rode to the door; the doorman angrily said, "For whom?" Then he said, "Yesterday's guest came." Then he angrily said, "Guest's diligence also?" Is there any xianggong who is out to see the guest at this time? The guest was ashamed, and he was forced to endure and said: "If you die, you will allow me to enter!" "And the doorman receives the gift, and rises into it, and rises into the stable he has erected." (To the effect that the next day, he did not dare not come.) At night, he sat dressed and waited, and as soon as he heard the chicken crowing, he got up to wash his face and brush his hair, rode his horse to the gate of the Xiangfu, and the gatekeeper said angrily, "Who is it?" He replied, "Yesterday's guest is here again." The gatekeeper said angrily, "You guest have come so diligently!" Can Xianggong come out to meet at this time? The guest felt humiliated, and only reluctantly said to the gatekeeper, "There is no way!" Let me in! The gatekeeper got a sum of money from him again before he got up and let him in. He stood again in the stable where he had stood. ）

Shot Three: Seeing Each Other

If the lord is lucky, he will be summoned to the south, and he will be frightened to crawl down the stairs. The Lord: "Enter! "Then I will say goodbye, so I will not be able to do it." (To the effect: fortunately, the master came out, sat south in the living room, called him in to meet him, and he ran up in a panic and prostrated himself under the steps.) The host said, "Come in! He prayed and prayed, deliberately delaying his rise. ）

Shot 4: Please pay a bribe

From the beginning, the life expectancy on the top. If the Lord does not receive it, he will insist. If the Lord does not accept it, he will insist on it, and then he will command the officials to accept it. Then they pray again, and they are too late; and when they start, they will come out five or six times. The person who came out of the door said: "The official is fortunate to take care of me, and he is lucky to have no obstacle to me!" The doorman replied. (To the effect: When you get up, you offer gold and silver to see.) If the master deliberately did not accept it, he repeatedly asked to accept it; the master deliberately and resolutely refused to accept it, so he repeatedly requested it. Then the master told his men to put away their things, and he prayed and prayed, deliberately delaying, and after getting up, he made five or six strokes before he came out. When he came out, he yelled at the gatekeeper, "Thank you lord for taking care of me!" Next time I come back, hope not to stop me. The gatekeeper saluted him, and he ran out with great pleasure. ）

Shot Five: On your toes

DaXi rushed out, and immediately met the acquaintance, that is, Yang Whip said: "Suitable for coming from the Xianggong family, Xianggong is thick to me, thick to me!" And it's a lie. That is, what is known, but also fear of justice. (To the effect that he met an acquaintance on a horse, he raised his horse whip and said triumphantly to the people, "I just came out of the Xiang Mansion, and Xiang Gong treated me very well, very well!") And falsely recounted the circumstances of the reception. Therefore, the friends who knew him also feared from their hearts that he would receive preferential treatment from Xianggong. ）

Shot 6: Xiang Gong Recommender

Xiang Gong said slightly, "So-and-so is also virtuous!" So-and-so also sage! "The hearer also agrees with praise. (To the effect: Xianggong occasionally says to others, "Someone is good, someone is good.") Those who heard these words also thought in their hearts and praised him in unison. ）

Appreciation: Through the description of "seeking justice from the customer", the author reveals the inner essence of mutual trust between the upper and lower levels. This set of shots is brilliantly written.

The first shot: it is difficult to write about the guests. Let's look at the ugly gesture of the subordinate when he asks for it. There is such a low-level petty bureaucrat who "sets up the door of the horse waiting for power day and night", running from morning to night, waiting at the door of the magnate. But "if the doorman does not enter, he will be a woman with flattering words, and his sleeves will be gold for private purposes." "When the gatekeeper deliberately refused to let him in, he sweetly pretended to be a woman's flattery, (it can be seen that the guest did whatever it took for his personal career) and secretly gave the silver hidden in his sleeve to the gatekeeper, asking the gatekeeper to help him." That is, the doorkeeper holds the piercing, and the master does not see it immediately. "In fact, the gatekeeper got his bribe and took his business card to report it, and the owner would not come out to meet him immediately." So he had no choice but to "stand between the servants and horses in the stables" and let the evil qi invade the placket, even if the hunger, cold, poison and heat were unbearable, he would not leave. He was tossed around for a day, and in the evening, the person who had previously received the bribe came out and told him that Xianggong was tired today and refused to meet today. Please come back tomorrow.

The second shot: The next day and did not dare not come, he was uneasy at home, "sitting in a cloak at night, smelling the chicken and getting up, walking to the door." "I sat in my clothes all night, got up and freshened up when I heard the chickens, and then rode my horse to knock on the door." The doorman exclaimed, 'For whom?' Then he said, "Yesterday's guest came." Then he said angrily, "What kind of diligence?" Is there any xianggong who is out of sight at this time (rhetorical rhetoric)? This man had already fainted, and in the middle of the night he went to call for the door, and the gatekeeper turned off the fire and asked in a loud voice: Who? He whispered, "Yesterday the guest came again." The gatekeeper said even more angrily: Why are you such a diligent person? Did Xianggong come out to see the guests at this time? "Xianggong" is an honorific title for the prime minister, and the author here deliberately refers to the magnates as "Xianggong", aiming to subtly satirize the power traitor- The Prime Minister Yan Song.

The third shot: write "Seeing Each Other". The doorman again received the silver he had given him, and only then did he get up and let him in. He "stood again in the stables he had erected," and again in the stables where he had stood yesterday. We see that a small bureaucrat at a lower level, in order to curry favor with a big official in an attempt to promote himself, had to brazenly buy off the doorman, first with sweet words, then with gold in his sleeve, but also endured cold treatment and insults, "between the servants and horses in the stables", tasted the pain of hunger, cold, poison and heat, although he hit the wall, he still did not give up, continued to sit and reach the dan, the next day the chicken screamed, continued to walk to the door, the doorman was again difficult, he was first strong, then he pleaded, and finally had to take bribes again. Even if it enters the door, it still stands between the servants and horses in the stable. Here, the author portrays the despicable tricks and ugly souls of the inferior petty bureaucrats with a divine pen, which is exquisite and exquisite. Look at the despicable acts of the powerful when they are summoned. After two days of hard work, two bribes, and two times of suffering from the horse shed, it finally touched God. "Fortunately, the lord came out, and when he was summoned from the south, he was frightened to crawl down the stairs", thankfully, the master came out and sat north to south to summon him, and he ran forward to climb under the steps with sincere trepidation.

The third shot: "The Lord knows: 'Enter', then worship again, so it is too late." From the beginning, the life expectancy on the top. Hearing the master's "enter", he quickly prayed for a few prayers, still crawling on the ground and deliberately not getting up, and immediately offered bribed silver after getting up. "The Lord is not subject to it", and the Lord deliberately prevaricates, "then insists on please", he insists on please. "If the lord does not accept it, he will insist on it", and the master deliberately and resolutely refused, and he repeatedly and resolutely requested it. The first "solid", insist. The second "solid" is still persistence (so gu is not allowed, this is deliberately pretending to be a clear high to cover his greed for money). So sincere, it was difficult to be generous, and the master "ordered the officials to accept it" and asked his subordinates to collect the money. He was so relieved that he rejoiced, "and then he prayed again, and he could not get up again." He was busy climbing down and saying thank you again and again, and deliberately delayed getting up. He knew that the master had already accepted his money and would certainly help him, could he not be grateful! "From the beginning to the end of the day." Climb down and make five or six strokes before slowly getting up. This passage is the most ironic and comedic. The bribe-taker prides himself on himself, and it is difficult to open his golden mouth, and only one word is "entered", which shows that he is arrogant and arrogant, and he is mighty. For "what is received on the gold, therefore not", "therefore it is not fixed", pretending to be posture, hypocritical and treacherous, and making people numb. The ugliness of the gurudwara: the ability to flatter and bribe; the ugliness of the powerful: extreme greed and pretending to be incorruptible.

The fourth shot: the proud look of the writer after seeing each other. After the little bureaucrat was summoned, he got his wish and transformed himself into another face. "The one who went out of the door said: 'The official is fortunate to take care of me, and he is lucky to die and hinder me.'" The doorman smiled, rejoiced, and ran out. He came out and said to the doorman: Fortunately, the great officials take care of me, and I hope that next time I will come again and don't stop me. The gatekeeper gave him a salute, and he ran out in ecstasy.

Fifth shot: Arrogant colleagues. "Immediately when I meet what I know, I will say, 'Suitable for coming from the family of Xiang Gong, Xiang Gong is thick to me, and thick to me.'" And rhetoric. That is, what is known, but also fear of justice. "When he met someone he knew on his horse, he raised his horse whip and said to the people: I have just come out of the Xiang Mansion, and Xiang Gong appreciates me very much, and appreciates me very much. He also falsely said that he was kind and kind, and even those who knew his details were in awe of Xiang Gong in their hearts and treated him kindly.

The sixth shot: Xiang Gong Recommends Xian. Xiang Gong received his bribe for "a little bit of people to say: 'So-and-so is also virtuous, so-and-so is also virtuous!' "XiangGong waited a little for an opportunity to tell people, someone is good, someone is good!" The hearers also praised it. "The speaker has no intention, the listener intends. The people who listened to this also praised him in their hearts. Here is "Xianggong thick me, Xianggong thick me!" "So-and-so is also virtuous" "So-and-so is also virtuous!" "The use of the two repetitive techniques is simply fascinating, exposing the bureaucratic fox and the false tiger power and the treacherous face to the fullest." And those snobs, parrots learn the tongue is not only wonderful.
