Chapter 49: Lord of the River
In the face of Dong Hou's threat, Chen Cheng didn't care at all. Although he was named the ruling Jinwu, he could theoretically command all the soldiers and horses in the imperial city, but how could Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and them share the power in their hands to others? Naturally, no one sent him to him.
He didn't care, he came to accompany the Son of Heaven every day, and went back to sleep at night, he originally wanted to do something for the people of the world, but after coming to Luoyang, he found that he had no way to start. I still know a little bit about local affairs, but I don't know anything about things in the court, even if I want to write a "Survey Report on the Current Situation of All Strata", I don't know how to start.
This Raush Zi is in charge of Jinwu, and what he does is not interesting at all, it is better to go back to Liaoxi to be happy. At the very least, he still knows a little bit about how to pull the flag and rebel. Starting from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, to Zhang Jiao's brothers, to An Lushan, Shi Siming, Huang Chao, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong....... Sometimes he thinks, there are so many anti-thieves written in the history books, aren't you afraid that everyone will learn badly?
In the Deyang Palace, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were not there today, only Duan Qi and Guo Sheng accompanied the emperor with some palace people.
Liu Hong heard Liu Xie's voice, put down the brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Dong Hou, come over and read the words written by my father!" ”
He felt better today, so he had someone bring pen and ink and write poems in the temple for a while.
Guo Sheng admired on the side: "Your Majesty's font is a powerful pen, far surpassing the sages. ”
Liu Hong smiled, he also felt that his words were good, even if they did not reach the level of "far beyond the sages", but they were not much worse.
Liu Xie ran over and said, "Father, what did you write?" ”
He picked up the edge of the table, looked at the paper spread on it, and read: "The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, the grass and trees are yellow and the geese return south." Lan has a beautiful chrysanthemum, and Huai Jiaren can't forget ......"
Liu Hong said: "Do you know what this is?" ”
"Well....... It's a word written by my father! ”
"Haha," Liu Hong said with a smile: "This is not what I wrote, but Emperor Wu's "Autumn Wind Speech". ”
He then went on to read, "......... The pan-building boat is in the Fen River, and the middle of the river is Yangsubo. The drums are singing, the joy is very sad, and the young are not old! ”
Reading the back, Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "There is a lot of joy and sorrow, and when is it less strong, it is too old!" ”
He is only thirty-four years old this year, let alone in the future life, even now, he can only be regarded as middle-aged. But his body is not as good as day by day, and he sees that time is running out, so he will naturally sigh "when will he be young and strong".
Liu Hong was sad for a moment, knowing that his son couldn't pay attention to the meaning of the poem now, so he cheered up and said, "What poems has Dong Hou learned recently?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed to himself and said, "It seems that I am really confused, the emperor is still so young, and he has not yet begun to learn poetry." Unfortunately, I don't see that day anymore. ”
Liu Xie saw his father's sad face, and for some reason he was also sad, he hurriedly said: "I can also write poems!" ”
Liu Hong listened to the great joy and said, "Dong Hou is like me!" ”
Liu Xie boasted about Haikou, but he couldn't come back, and the anxious golden beans swirled in his eyes. Liu Hong touched the top of his son's head and said, "It's okay if you can't write it, just follow the teacher to study hard in the future." ”
Guo Sheng took the opportunity to say: "Why don't the old slaves send someone to call Cai Yilang?" ”
Liu Hong groaned: "Cai Yong? It's wonderful, but ........"
He shook his head and said, "Forget it, when he comes, I will be tired for a long time." ”
Liu Hong said: "Dong Hou can play by himself, and my father will write a few more words." ”
Liu Xie walked out of the palace sullenly, kicked his little feet, and stepped on the floor. Chen Cheng saw it and asked casually: "Dong Hou doesn't seem to be very happy!" ”
"Hmph, what do you know?"
"Ha," Chen Cheng looked left and right, and saw that there were no big people nearby, so he smiled and said, "I dare to boast that there are more people in this world who know more than me yet." ”
Of course, Liu Xie didn't believe it, and said disdainfully: "Bragging!" ”
"Yo Ho, you still don't believe me?" Chen Cheng said: "I'll tell you, don't believe it, I will have a lot of things that no one else in this world will do,"
He curled his finger and said, "I can make mechanical drawings, I can type code, and I can edit videos........ Well, none of that is a big deal, and it doesn't work right now. ”
Liu Xie said sullenly: "I don't need you to say anything?" Do you write poetry? ”
"Writing poetry?" Chen Cheng said in a low voice: "Ha, I can't write, but I can memorize it!" ”
"Will be back...... That's okay," Liu Xie rolled his eyes and said, "You can recite a simple song to me." ”
"Then listen well," Chen Cheng cleared his throat and said, "The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea." If you want to be poor, go to the next level. What do you think? Isn't it excellent? Let me tell you, don't look at these simple sentences, they were written by Li Bai! ”
"It was written by Li Bai? Who is Li Bai? ”
"Hey, anyway, as long as it's a good poem, I'll say it's written by Li Bai, or it's written by Du Fu."
Liu Xie said: "You recite it again for me." ”
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains......."
"It's not this one!" Liu Xie said angrily: "If you do this again, then I won't play with you!" ”
"Don't mind, can't I memorize it?"
Chen Cheng recited Wang Zhilian's "Climbing the Stork Tower" again, Liu Xie remembered it this time, and then ran into the hall and said loudly: "I have a poem!" ”
The pen in the emperor's hand stopped, and said with a smile: "What kind of poem?" ”
Liu Xie put his hands behind his back and said: "The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea." If you want to be poor, go up.... Going .......... the next level"
Liu Hong didn't care about it at first, he just thought it was a child playing around, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and he didn't even realize that the ink was on his hands. Liu Xie memorized it to the end, and forgot the last few words at once, and "went up" there several times, but he couldn't go up, and he couldn't help but rush outside: "What's up?" ”
Chen Cheng's voice came from outside, "Go to the next level."
Liu Xie let out an "oh" and said, "........ Better! ”
Liu Hong silently recited the words he had just heard in his heart, and after a while, he was shocked to realize that his hands were stained with ink, he put down the brush and said to the outside: "Zhi Jinwu come in and speak!" ”
The little yellow door on the side hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty announced that Jin Wu has entered the palace!" ”
Chen Cheng walked in, knelt down on one knee, and said, "See Your Majesty." ”
Liu Hong flattened him and asked, "Was the five-character poem just now made by Qing?" ”
Liu Xie shouted on the side: "It was written by Li Bai." ”
Chen Cheng smiled: "It wasn't written by the minister." ”
Liu Hong pondered for a moment and asked, "Qing is from the Wei Mansion, but he has an old relationship with the party?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "I have heard the names of the party members, but it has nothing to do with them, I just heard people recite two lines of poetry. ”
Hearing him say that it had nothing to do with the party, Liu Hong's face improved a little and said, "Oh, let's hear it?" ”
Chen Cheng read slowly: "Throw yourself into the door and stop thinking about Zhang Jian, and endure death and wait for Du Gen." ”
On the side, Guo Sheng Duan Jue was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty! ”
As soon as the two of them knelt down, the other little yellow doors and palace maids knelt down as well, although they didn't understand what was happening.
Zhang Jian wrote a letter to impeach the eunuch Hou Lan and his family, which led to the disaster of the party, and the number of people who died as a result of it was thousands. Today, this matter has come out again, and it is another great reckoning.
When he first heard Chen Cheng recite the poem, Liu Hong's face turned very ugly, but after listening to him read it, he laughed and said: "Zhi Jinwu really doesn't know how to learn, and Du Gen is not a party member." ”
Dugan was a native of the Han Emperor's period, fifty or sixty years ago. He was ordered to be executed by the Queen Mother because he wrote a letter asking the Queen Mother to return to power, but the executioner admired him as a person and let him go. At the time of Dugan's death, there was no such thing as a party member.
"Hey, isn't Dugan a party member?" Chen Cheng scratched his head and said in surprise: "I don't know about this." ”
Liu Hong glanced at Guo Sheng Duan Jue, who was kneeling on the side, and said casually: "Get up." ”
He took Liu Xie's hand and said, "Those two lines of poetry are good, are there any more in the future?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "There are two more sentences in the back, which are: I smiled at the sky from the horizontal knife, and went to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun." ”
"Go and stay in the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun?" Liu Hong smiled: "What a spirit! Could it be that it was also written by Li Bai? ”
He looked at Chen Cheng and said, "The captain of the military academy said that your martial arts are ten times better than him, but I haven't seen it yet." You're going to give me ..... Take a look at your skills with Dong Hou. ”
Chen Cheng said: "It's not that the minister is boasting, but if you ride, walk, or shoot, there is no one who is not proficient, which one does Your Majesty want to see first?" ”
"Lieutenant generals and colonels, they should put the bow and crossbow first."
"Good!"
A few people went out of the Deyang Palace, Liu Hong ordered someone to take arrows, targets, bows and arrows and other things, after Chen Cheng took it, he always felt that he was just performing archery in this world. He pulled the bowstring, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Guo Sheng whispering something to a small yellow door.
But he didn't care, even if he poked out the big basket, it was a big deal to kill it with his skills. A person with extraordinary force is so confident!
The bow he brought was a three-stone strong bow, which only a warrior in the army could pull away, but in Chen Cheng's eyes, it was not enough. He casually opened his bow and shot arrows, and before the arrow hit the target, he had already picked up another arrow in the magazine.
"Smack!"
"Buzz!"
The sound of the arrow hitting the target and the bowstring vibrating almost simultaneously, he took the arrow with his backhand and wound it with his forehand, and in less than a minute he shot all twenty arrows in the box. The whole action is smooth and smooth, and it is done in one go, even those who can't shoot arrows have to shout hello when they see it.
The arrows were all pierced on the bull's-eye sixty steps away, and Chen Cheng didn't look at it, and asked directly, "What else does Your Majesty want to see?" ”
Liu Hong said with a smile: "Zhi Jinwu is so miraculous, you don't have to look at the rest." ”
While he was talking, Zhang Rang had already rushed over with several little yellow doors. When Liu Hong saw it, he stretched out his hand and said, "Zhang Changzhi is also here." ”
When Zhang Rang came to him, Liu Hong said: "Chen Qing's martial arts are extraordinary, loyal and brave, and you will be good to assist Dong Hou in the future." ”
Zhang Rang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The old slave is because Zhijin Wu has just entered the palace, so he ......"
"Alright, I know everything." Liu Hong said: "I don't blame you, what are you worried about?" Bao Hong is dead, can the post of lieutenant still be vacant? ”
Zhang Rang said: "There is no one vacant for the time being. ”
Liu Hong said: "Then let He Miao be transferred to the military academy captain of Xiyuan, and the Yue cavalry in his hand will be transferred to the command of Zhi Jinwu." ”
Although He Miao is He Jin's cousin, he has always been friendly with Jian Shuo and others, and transferring him to the West Garden Army can obviously greatly strengthen Jian Shuo's control over the West Park Army. Yue Cai was one of the five battalions of the Northern Army, which was allocated to Chen Cheng, which could also weaken He Jin's military power. In this way, the comparison of the strength of eunuchs and relatives will not be too disparity.
Although Liu Hong was indulged in pleasure and extravagance, he was also smart and studious when he was young, and wrote "Huangxi Chapter", "Chasing Virtue Fu", "Song of Lingyi", etc., and once opened Hongdu Gate School, how could he not be a smart person? It's just that his ingenuity is clearly not used in the right place.
The emperor's arrangement caught Zhang Rang off guard, but he couldn't think of a reason to oppose it in his eagerness, so he could only echo the meaning of the Son of Heaven. Except for the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs in history were all dependent on the imperial power in order to be powerful, and losing the trust of the Son of Heaven was equivalent to death for the eunuchs, and Zhang Rang did not dare to oppose the emperor's decision.
Liu Hong said to Chen Cheng again: "In the future, when Jin Wu is not on duty, you can enter the palace more often and teach Dong Hou some bow and horse skills." ”
What can Chen Cheng say? If you take advantage of it, don't sell it, you can only nod your head again and again.
