Chapter 9: Pen Debate

Ban Chao returned to the Western Regions, stopped in Luoyang, and was ill in the house. He had no choice but to treat him. There was a Confucian scholar who had a sharp head and had grown up. He went to the door to visit him. He said, "The king and the lord have been working outside for a long time. His spirit has disappeared and he is not happy to respond. Even the ministers and officials still cannot see the colors. How can I ask the old friends? When he heard this, his underworld changed color and his hair was standing up. He immediately walked in and said to Chao: When I was in my prime, I was quick to achieve success and ambitions in a foreign land. I abandoned me like a marquis, and crossed the wind and clouds for a breath of thousands of miles. My son has never lost me. But I and I have never lost my son's fame and honor, enjoy the title, and are renowned in the present and are renowned in the latter. I am a laborious son and I have not been good at me, so I am not good at seeing me?"

Chao heard this, looked at it in a daze, and was angry and suspicious, and sat down with him and asked:How can I deceive me? I met the ye people, drowning in the hut, wandering in art, moaning ink, and digging ink, and playing with the mouth of the gu. I was disgusted with the hundreds of schools and taking off the big books. If Shi Qian was angry with the Scriptures, Fu Sheng was born in the old scriptures, Dong Zi taught him after the end, Liu Xiang studied the meticulously in the lyrics and fu, and Yang Xiong thought in the "Fayan". They all died and became famous in the next generation, and they were happy to be circumspect, and they did not rebel. Therefore, you can be proud and arrogant, with sharp thoughts, either showing off your talents to be effective, or they can be distracted by the algae and be beautiful, writing thoughts on the ruler and empty words for a hundred generations. Although the sages have more wisdom, I understand that it is not yours, and I am really not up to you. Therefore, I am escaping from your son, so I am so eager to escape and die, so I want to have a good idea.The sword, with Fengte's thorn, holds the whip on the left, belongs to the Ge Jian'er, shoots Hongxuan and the flow, attracts the thunder, watches the thunder and the thunder, watches the thunder and the thunder, watches the thunder and the thunder, watches the thunder and the thunder, watches the thunder and walks westward, wows the wilderness of Duoyiwu, drinks the cave of the Great Wall, and is the prince's bridle group, and the ointment is still rich in iron axe, and four chasings are crossing the dragon pile, and nine deaths are dead in the tiger's den, but sees thousands of chariots and clouds, and thousands of riders are combined, and the arrows are like comets, and the swords are like thunder are gone, and the earth is shaking. The wise are foolish, and the brave are afraid of it. At this time, they have already eliminated the swords and turned the baskets and fleeing when they hear the drums, and are galloping. Looking at the feathers and edicts, how can they be used to make a splendid? How can they be used to draw a spirit to match? The name cannot be obtained in vain, and the achievements cannot be obtained. If they have not been exhausted, what can they be rewarded?

He stood up and said:I heard that great achievements are invisible, great benefits are hard to be famous, benevolent people pay their respects to the report, the patriots are slacking off their glory but not competing for the merits of ordinary people. Those who are far away are great, and do not wait for the merits of my life, so why not be described? I traveled to the capital, trapped in the vestrait, and sent me to the government, shake hands all day long, never disgusted with your calligraphy, follow your envoys, and follow your envoys, and fulfill your articles, and I rely on your will to be a commander, and I will be in charge of the Lantai morning and out of the evening, and I will be with you, and I will not disobey you, and I will not be against you, and I will not be against you, and I will not be against you, and I will not be against you, and I will not be able to do anything, and I will not be able to do anything, and I will not be able to succeed, and I will make difficult plans; I will abandon the sages, use ominous tools, take advantage of the opportunity to be in danger, and take advantage of the opportunity to be rich and honored for a while? However, I still want to be awarded the honor of the official, and I will be ashamed of surrendering to the ground, and I will be the whole of you, and I will be betrayed if I am a military carriage, and I will be in the wild, and I will be in the military and guard my teacher and tell you how to practice,I remember your poems, tiger talismans, and there were some excuses. I passed on your letters. I sent you a letter to you. I followed the time and wrote them together. I moved the letters to the texts, some settled and several realities, some made contributions to the shogunate, or some communicated with neighboring countries. There are many things, and I don't want you to win the ink. I wrote your heart. I finally got what you asked you to go west. I had a hundred feelings and tears and blood. I actually imitated your sister's poems. I lamented and moved the emperor. I actually wrote my letters. After that, I was still traveling to the poor and hung in the emperor. How could I give this? Although, this is a small person who is extravagant, polished and strong, and used the books to be used regularly, and listed the simple book so that you can stream the sound of the fragrance, flourishing, bright and bright, and unshakable for thousands of years. Is it easy to make spring achievements easy? Now I want to praise the effect of the shallowness and forget the meaning of the origin. What is the difference between the first emperor's splendor and the wood of the plain?

Chao was frustrated and said, "If you want to avoid life, you will say:I wish you to listen to you. I was poor and I thought of your ancestors. When I arrived in Shu, I was in Tongmao. I used his bamboo slips to catch your brother. My father's letters continued. I remembered my previous achievements. I saw you again. I tried my best to see him. I put my heart and thoughts on it. I made a book with my leaves and paints. It was a good idea to cut off the metal and make a book. It was a poet who was not good at it. I remembered it and forgot it. Therefore, I changed my career and practiced it. I was more effective than you. Who would like to write a poem to make it? Moreover, I was awarded a marquis for thousands of miles and made a fortune in a foreign land. If you are honored, you will be honored. Who would discuss it with you?Taoist books are the Confucian scholars of the world, and they are the achievements of his father. They attacked the Western Rong and restored the soldiers in our border areas. If they were loyal, they would be loyal. Who would follow the men and follow the history of the generations and form a family to assist the Han Dynasty? To the people who were sent to the enemy, or the words of the gods and witches, mourn the shame of beheading the envoys, the beast's heart leaps and sniped Xu Yan, I will see you being abducted in the county and abandoned them in the wild, live as a prisoner, die as a prisoner, die as a ghost, how dare you look blue and purple? Therefore, I always despise me and do not use it. I also laugh at my diligent body and work hard and meticulously.

Chao heard the words of Qi, and was relieved of sweating, bowing to the guest door, ashamed of learning, and died gradually
