Liu Qu never imagined that one day, he would fall into a situation where no one was available.

Of course, this is not to say that the rule of the Han Dynasty is gradually decaying and has gone to extinction, on the contrary, the government of the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, that is, the officials at the lowest level are all outstanding talents who have passed the assessment, and no one dares to underestimate them, and the officials who are preoccupied with the people before Emperor Xiaokang, colluded with the eunuchs, and acted recklessly, the officials today are very good, they are not afraid of the local tyrants, they will not let them bully the people, and they will not help the abuse, and receive any gifts.

The main thing is the retirement system of Zhuge Linggong, which makes most of the old ministers in the temple leave, and the ministers have firmly occupied their positions over the years, which makes high-end talents a little lacking, especially the position of Shang Shuling, for Yuan Xi, Liu Qu is very dissatisfied, but what can be done? Can't you get Yuan Yao, who is less than forty years old, to this position?

And the impact of Zhuge Linggong's departure, everyone may not have noticed it much, but the Son of Heaven was the first to realize it, because after Zhuge Linggong's death, all the things in the temple need him to do it personally, Yuan Xi does not have the courage of Zhuge Linggong, but whenever it involves two thousand stones, he will definitely stand in front of the door of the Houde Hall and not leave, and he must get the order of the Son of Heaven to act.

This made Liu Qu extremely dissatisfied, and what was even worse was that Pang Tong was about to leave, because according to Zhuge Linggong's retirement system, he had reached this limited age, and his position, who should take over, was another headache for Liu Qu, aside from these headaches, in other aspects, the young son of heaven was still proud, and the eldest son, Shi, the more he grew up, the more similar he was to himself.

There are often surprising words, when he brought him to the military school, this boy who was less than ten years old actually pulled his own shirt and issued a sigh of "how many heroes are heroes, and I am fortunate to be in control", so that Liu Qu no longer dared to underestimate his eldest son, and made him pay homage to Zhou Yu and Zhou Gong, who had returned to his hometown, as a teacher, and learn the classics with him.

It's just that when they learned that the eldest son of the emperor wanted to take Duke Zhou as his teacher and govern the ram, his face was a little wrong, but the ram has been rising continuously over the years, but there is not much opposition.

Liu Qu didn't care about this, and sealed two beauties in the palace, wanting to spread more royal blood.

And the military affairs he cares about the most, these years, has not fallen, since the succession of the Son of Heaven, the Han has been expanding all the time, yes, the Han has not stopped moving forward for an hour, this is Zhou Yu's strategy, the expansion of the Han Dynasty to the outside world, is not a direct conquest of force, but through a little bit of infiltration, the outside of the plug continues to build cities, Jiaozhou continues to cut down mountains and forests, migration of population, even the Guishan is close to the rest of the side, the same, the continuous construction of post stations, has approached the border of rest.

These construction projects, even directly arrest the surrounding "thieves", let them help build, the Han army is on the sidelines, just in two years, Jiaozhou has four more counties, Yizhou has six more, Ningzhou is the least, but also two more big cities, occasionally there is friction, but the Han soldiers face these thieves, like bullying children, from the steel technology, tactics, the quality of the soldiers, the quality of the generals and other aspects of the crushing, to create the Han soldiers undefeated record abroad.

In the past, if the generals dared to continue to attack and expand their territory in such a righteous and bright manner, even if they were meritorious, they would definitely not be liked by the temples and the princes, and they would not be convicted of self-assertion, but now these martial artists have the support of the Son of Heaven, and they are no longer afraid of the pressure from the temples, and they are wholeheartedly implementing the "enlightenment" of the outside world.

After the death of Zhuge Linggong, this kind of openness to the outside world became more direct, and no one even dared to dissuade it.

.....

In Taixue, the elder looked at the young man in front of him and said kindly:

"You are young, although you are young, but you are also dignified, intelligent and sensitive, I intend to accept you as a disciple and pass on your way as a saint, what do you think?"

The young man trembled excitedly, "I still hope that Zhong Changgong will know, in fact, I am far from being that good, and I am really not worthy of being Zhong Changgong's disciple, and I hope that Zhong Changgong will choose another person to pass on the avenue!" ”

"Why are you so humble? I said that you are excellent, you are excellent, can I still see the wrong person? You're the only one who answered my questions, so don't hide it anymore, so you can kneel down for me now and call me Master! I'll take you as a disciple!" ”

When an old man with a short figure and an ugly face rushed to Taixue, everyone greeted each other, and it was Pang Linggong who came, Pang Linggong was not very good-looking when he was young, and when he was older, he grew a long beard, but it made him a little more good, at this moment, he was going to come to Taixue to give lectures to the students, but, just after entering Taixue, he saw a group of people gathered not far away, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Pang Tong felt a little curious, so he squeezed in from the crowd, many students saw him, and they also avoided him, and they made way for him and came to the front, Pang Tong couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at the students on the side, and asked in a low voice: "What is Zhong Changjun doing?" Why did you threaten that student with a sword? Seeing that it was Pang Linggong, the student hurriedly bowed before replying:

"Pang Linggong, Zhong Changjun left fifty questions for the Taixue students before, and no one could answer the words, including those involved in agriculture, businessmen, government affairs, and military affairs, and the students answered the questions one after another, but Zhong Changjun didn't pay attention to it, until my classmate, he took less than half an hour, and answered fifty questions, and since then, this Zhong Changjun has entangled him, and he has to let this person worship him as a teacher... My classmates shouldn't, that's it. ”

He said with a smile, it seems that this matter has become a beautiful talk in Taixue.

When Pang Tong heard this, he was immediately furious, frowned, and stepped forward, "Zhong Changtong! What do you want?! Pang Tong was obviously very angry, and he also called Zhong Changtong by his name, Zhong Changtong glanced back at him, only then did he put away the long sword in his hand, and smiled awkwardly, "Pang Linggong, come, this is the disciple I recently accepted...", beside him was the outstanding young man in Taixue.

The young man didn't look like he was standing up for the crown, but he was eight feet tall and dignified, and when he heard Zhong Changtong's words, he immediately defended: "Zhong Changgong! When did I agree to be your disciple? Then, he hurriedly begged Pang Tong: "I still hope that Pang Linggong will save me, Zhong Changgong will force me to be his apprentice, if I don't want to, he will kill him!" ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he was really annoyed, and glared at Zhong Changtong on the side, "Zhong Changjun, how can you force Taixue disciple to be your disciple?" Taixue disciples, they are all the backbone of the temple, the pillars of the future of the Han Dynasty, how can you be bullied like this? ? Zhong Changtong was also displeased, and said, "Is it difficult for my disciple to humiliate him?" I am a servant of the temple, why don't I even have the qualifications to accept a disciple and inherit family learning? ”

"It depends on whether the student agrees, if he agrees, I won't care!"

The two of them immediately looked at the man, and the young man hurriedly said, "I don't want to." ”

Zhong Changtong snorted coldly, put away his long sword, turned to leave, the young student wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled, walked to Pang Tong's side, thanked him repeatedly, Pang Tong waved his hand, and let him follow behind him, "Who are you?" Pang Tong asked, and the student said simply and directly: "Student Zhonghui." Pang Tongyi was stunned, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be the son of Zhong Gong, no wonder I can't look down on that Zhong Changtong." ”

Zhong Hui shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't look down on it, it's just that Zhong Changgong is not afraid of the mandate of heaven and ignores the power of heaven, sooner or later, it will cause a catastrophe, and I think that my talent is insufficient and I can't resolve it, so I refuse." ”

Pang Tong frowned, and said unhappily: "Zhong Changjun is an important minister of the country, how dare you say this?" ”

Zhong Hui smiled and said: "Pang Linggong is going to cheat me, in fact, Linggong also knows this, Linggong has always taken Zhong Changgong to Taixue these days, in the name of looking for disciples for him, but he refuses to let him write books or let him lecture, isn't he worried about this?" ”

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, smiled, didn't say anything more, took Zhong Hui, entered the study, the two chatted for a while, Zhong Hui said: "Thank you Pang Linggong for relieving me today, I should keep it in mind, but there are still studies that have not been completed today, so I will allow the students to retire first!" Zhong Hui said, and bowed to Pang Tong, Pang Tong shook his head and said;" Don't worry, there's one more thing. ”

"Excuse me."

Pang Tong looked at Zhong Hui and smiled weirdly, Zhong Hui subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and Pang Tong immediately said: "Zhong Hui, I see that although you are young, you are also dignified, smart and sensitive, why don't you be my disciple?" ”

Zhong Hui's face changed greatly, and his eyes widened, "Pang Linggong, such a big matter, don't laugh, I still have to ask my father what he means, so that I can be a disciple... Why don't you let me go back and talk to my father? What's more, I don't have any talent, and I'm really ashamed to be so valued by Ling Gong..."

"You don't want to be a disciple of Zhong Changtong because there is a threat to follow him, and you don't want to be my disciple for some reason?"

"Ling Gong, I haven't finished my studies yet..."

"Hehe, no matter how you excuse today, you disciple, I will accept it! If not! Don't want to leave Taixue!! ”

Zhong Hui was stunned and stunned for a long time before bowing to Pang Tong and saying, "Meet Shijun." ”

Pang Tong couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, the one who can succeed me in the mantle has finally been found!

As for Zhong Changtong, who made him not a Sanling?
