Chapter 27 Li He
After Liu Zhao returned to the palace, Huang Jun's figure kept appearing in his mind, and he was indescribably sad in his heart. This was the first time he had put someone to death, and he was also a confidant. He drank so much that he could only fall asleep for days on end, and his frustration and pain pierced his heart like a needle.
A month later, when the first snow came, everything in the sky and earth was white, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky made him feel better. Cai Lun took good care of him as usual, because he often drank and fell asleep, and argued with him for a long time. But the emperor wanted to drink, how could he stop him. I had to find Hengyu to complain.
Heng Yu listened to his words, and only smiled lightly, "Lord Cai, the emperor has something on his mind!" The old man will talk to His Majesty and listen to his thoughts. ”
In fact, Heng Yu also discovered the difference between Liu Zhao, as an emperor, he gets along with the emperor every day, and it is impossible not to see the emperor's mood, but he adheres to the principle that more things are better than less, and forbearance is the best, and does not remind Liu Zhao what to do.
Since Cai Lun mentioned it, he felt that he should come to untie the emperor's heart knot.
When explaining that "let the virtuous do not be second, go to the evil do not doubt", he glanced at the emperor, who was listening carefully, and said with a pleasant face: "Your Majesty, this sentence comes from "Shangshu Dayu Mo", which means that the appointment of virtuous talents can not be half-hearted, the abolition of treachery and evil can not be indecisive, if there is no intention to be virtuous, if there is no responsibility, if there is hesitation to go to evil, if you do not go, as a result, the sage can not really play a role, and the evil is more rampant. It is to tell us that Ren Xian must be unswerving in his pursuit of evil! ”
Seeing that Liu Zhao was thinking seriously, he said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know that Your Majesty is worried about anything, but as the king of a country, Your Majesty has acted like this, but he has no appearance as a king. ”
Liu Zhao's eyes lit up, "Teacher, I killed a person for the first time a few days ago, but that person was one of my confidants, and he didn't do anything wrong, but there was a person who said that he was a villain, a person without virtue, and would have an impact on me, so I actually agreed and killed him." This incident made me feel sad in my heart, and every day I thought about it, I felt sorry for it. It seems that my mentor has also discovered that I have something on my mind these days. However, the sentence that my teacher explained to me just now, let me not be virtuous, do not doubt the evil, but let me understand that I have not done anything wrong, and if I am judged when I become a great thing, if I am depressed for this reason, it is really as my teacher said, and there is no longer the appearance of being a king, it is really not my fault. ”
He saw Hengyu nodding with a smile, and his heart became clearer, "Teacher, do you know Lu Fan?" ”
Heng Yu nodded and said, "This person is talented, but it's a pity that he has no intention, did Your Majesty meet him in Jingling?" ”
"Yes, he really did not want to enter the court as an official as his mentor said, but he recommended a person to me, this person's name is Li He, I wonder if my mentor has heard of this person?" He looked at Hengyu, hoping to get more things about Li He.
"Hahaha!" Heng Yu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, did Li mean Li He?" ”
"Not bad!"
"This person, the old minister, has also heard of one or two, he is extraordinary, with his help, Your Majesty, everything is worry-free!" Hengyu twisted his beard and nodded slightly.
Saying this, Liu Zhao not only laughed a little, "Teacher, do you know what kind of person he is?" ”
"Li He is the word Mengjie, originally a native of Southern Zheng in Hanzhong. His father, Li Jie, was known for being good at Confucianism, and later became an official and became a doctor. Li He inherited his father's business, studied and enrolled, and with the help of his father, studied in Taixue. At that time, I had a few encounters with him because I knew what he was capable of.
When he was the first emperor, he was young and high-spirited, and he once wrote an article pointing out the disadvantages of the imperial court, and the first emperor read his article in public because of his extraordinary literary talent, and also laughed about it. Xia Yang Hou of the Dou family, Dou Gui, likes Confucian classics and once visited him, but he closed the door and disappeared, only saying that he was not a person who could avoid harm, so why should he complain with words? When he was young, he was taught by a famous teacher, and he was not only outstanding in writing, but also excellent in martial arts. Although he is familiar with the "Five Classics", what he is best at is the "Heluo" wind star, that is, looking at the elephant and then predicting what will happen tomorrow. No one else knows about this knowledge, but I know a thing or two.
Nanzheng County recruited him to be a waiter at the door, but he hated the officialdom deeply, and after a year of doing it, he resigned and went into hiding, and he never knew what to do. But the important point is that this person is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he will definitely give advice to His Majesty, and will never be kind to the Queen Mother. Heng Yu's eyes flickered, and he told Liu Zhao about Li He in a low voice, and took a sip of water as if nothing happened, but his heart was churning terribly.
He was originally clean and self-conscious, and he didn't like the dispute between the court and became the emperor, also because of the words of the Empress Dowager Dou, but he knew that sooner or later the emperor would preside over the government, and no matter how arrogant his relatives were now, there would always be a day of defeat.
Although the little emperor is young, he is cautious, and whenever he encounters something, he will think too much, and as an emperor, he has to remind him, but in this way, he may offend the Dou family. Maybe the days of infighting with the world in the future are coming to an end.
Liu Zhao didn't know what he thought, but he was extremely curious about Li Heqi. With his hands behind his back, he turned around a few times in front of the desk, looked at the carpet with the pattern of double tigers and beads on the ground, pondered for a long time, and then muttered to himself: "Teacher, I want to find Li He, as my teacher." The first emperor only had two sons, me and the king of Qinghe, and I could proclaim the king of Qinghe into Beijing, and Li He lived in the palace of the king of Qinghe. I have had a deep relationship with King Qinghe since I was a child, and I often visit him, and no one will raise objections. And I can also use this to get Li He's help. I have no one to trust except my teacher, and I often feel that it is difficult to be independent, but now that my brother and he are by my side, I can rest assured. ”
Heng Yu saw that he had thought of a countermeasure in an instant, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, feeling that his choice was correct. He sank and said, "Your Majesty, sit down, the minister hasn't finished his class yet!" ”
Li He sent Gan Ying to walk with the king of Qinghe, although Gan Ying learned martial arts from him, he knew this person's character, this person's ability was extraordinary, and sooner or later he could make meritorious achievements, how could he accompany himself in this rural bamboo forest? It happened that the king of Qinghe was here, so he sent Gan Ying to the king of Qinghe, thinking that he would make immortal achievements.
On this day, when he saw that the shadow of the sun was sinking in the west, but the room was very cold, he lit a charcoal fire and looked at the fire. There was a glint of fire in his eyes, making his face look dark and dark.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound in the charcoal fire, and he was stunned, pinched his fingers and calculated, with an unexpected expression on his face. He came to the door in his clothes, but when he saw two people coming in the snow, both of them wearing thick cloaks of rabbit fur, suddenly saw him standing at the door, and they were startled, hesitated, but still came to him.
"The two courtiers are from Beijing?" Li Hejiang opened the door and asked.
"How do you know?" One of them asked.
"Just now the charcoal fire crackled in my room, and I knew that a guest had arrived, and I saw that two stars had come here, so I knew about it. Are the two of you envoys from Beijing? Li He pointed to the stars and said with a smile.
"Sir is right, the two of us are indeed entrusted by His Majesty to come here to visit a master." After Li He invited the two into the house, one of them saluted him and said, "Go down Cui Yuanji, this is Luo Xin." Dare to ask Mr., but Li He, Li Mengjie? ”
Li He glanced at them and said with a smile, "The wind and snow are big, the distance is long, the two of you will take a rest first, drink a glass of hot wine, and warm your stomach!" "Then he started to warm up the wine.
Cui Yuanji glanced at Luo Xin, he neither said yes nor said no, he didn't know what his intentions were, so he had to sit down, his face was cloudy. The light of the fire flickered, and the two of them took off their cloaks, and they also felt their bodies gradually warm.
After a while, the wine was warm, Li He put Hu in front of the two, poured the wine, and then said: "The Book of Poetry has clouds, there is no beginning, and there is an end. Many things always have a good beginning, but they don't necessarily end well. I am in this mountain, see the peach blossoms in spring, see the snow in winter, climb the mountain in my spare time, read and dance the sword when I am busy, life is like this, what more can I ask for, and why bother in Vanity Fair, go through a scene, and finally end up like an abyss, like walking on thin ice, and end up depressed? ”
Luo Xin said: "Mr. is so old, if he is in this deep mountain for a long time, and he doesn't want to forge ahead, isn't he living up to his great knowledge in vain?" Could it be that the gentleman's knowledge is only used to measure where today's guests come from and where tomorrow's guests will go? It's better to be a street fortune teller and beg for food. ”
He said it ugly, but Li He sneered when he heard it: "Absent-minded, blind, listening but not smelling, not knowing the taste of food, this is called self-cultivation in his heart." It's useless for you to wait for it, rest here for the night, and go back to Beijing tomorrow morning to resume your life, just say that I, Li He, don't like officialdom and can't be a high-ranking official. ”
Cui Yuanji smiled when he heard this: "Mr. thinks that we are looking for you to be an official, no, we are looking for you, we are entrusted by Your Majesty, and I ask Mr. to help Your Majesty get rid of traitors, go to villains, and protect me from Dahan River and Mountain." ”
Li He glanced at Cui Yuanji in surprise, bit his lower lip, and his expression became gloomy. In his early years, he was not full of enthusiasm, loyalty, and dedication, working for the country and society, and writing to the court, but he only ended up as a laughing stock and became a joke of the Han Dynasty. The reason why he lives in seclusion in the mountains and doesn't ask about the world is just self-control, and he doesn't want to end up being ridiculed again.
How did he not know the truth of being a minister and stopping at respect. It's just that once you enter this scene, it's hard to get out.
He suddenly calmed down, and said in an arrogant and indifferent voice: "Two, it's cold and the road is far away, you must be very tired, just rest in this room for a night, please go back tomorrow morning!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he felt a cavity of blood surging above his head, looked at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, sighed, stretched his arms lightly, and practiced a set of boxing techniques. Sometimes he is as light as a willow, as hard as a golden stone, when his face moves like a river, as quiet as a mountain, sometimes as fierce as a tiger, an eagle than a fast, boxing seems to be leisurely, but he shows the elegant style, and the two people who watch in the door are as intoxicated as they can't be themselves. Wait until he closes his fists and stands upright, his breath is steady, and his face is as usual. The snow in the courtyard was swept away by his fists and feet.
Cui Yuanji sighed: "This person is not only brilliant in writing, but also has such exquisite boxing skills, no wonder Your Majesty must bring this person back." However, listening to the meaning of his words, he refused to return to Beijing with us, how can we fulfill His Majesty's entrustment? ”
Luo Xin smiled: "You can see the meaning of his fist, I guess, we will persuade him tomorrow, these days are soft and hard, he will definitely agree." After that, looking at Li He who walked into the side room, the muscles on his face jumped a few times, and he not only shuddered!
