The Son of Heaven personally received the four most outstanding students in the assessment, among the four, Zhou Yu became the most champion in law, Lu Su was the most champion in agriculture, Zhang Fei was the most champion in economics, and Du Wei, who could not be heard, became the champion in mathematics, and the rest of them did not get the honor of being able to face the saint, which made the scholars envious, since they walked out of the palace, they each got a good job.

First of all, Zhou Yu, the most champion in the law, the Son of Heaven transferred him to Sanhan, as a Sima under the command of Taishi Cishui, although he was only a Sima, but he was sent by the Son of Heaven, and he didn't dare to underestimate him if he wanted to come, and everyone didn't quite understand why such a handsome scholar who seemed to have a talent in literature and history would be sent to the most distant border to serve as a mere Sima, but since the Son of Heaven had such a year, everyone didn't ask again.

Lu Su was sent to Ningzhou, the Son of Heaven worshiped as the county order, to test his ability to govern, everyone knew in their hearts, if this guy performed well during the county order, maybe the affairs of Ningzhou will fall on the shoulders of this young man in the future, in addition, Du Wei, Baiguan is a little curious, for this deaf scholar, what official position will the Son of Heaven give, will it be sent to Taishi, or to the academy?

Surprisingly, the Son of Heaven seems to attach great importance to this scholar, he left Du Wei by his side, gave him the position of serving the imperial historian, followed Liu Mo, and lived in all things together, and similarly, Zheng Fei also stayed, he was under Cai Yong's command, and he also served as Cai Yong's deputy.

Xiping 10th year, December

Yuan Shu knelt in front of Yuan Feng and said helplessly: "Father, this matter is very important, Father will definitely help me!" ”

Yuan Feng shook his head and said nothing.

"But it's because of my brother? I can write my own book to my brother and let him say yes! ”

"Your brother has long since passed away to your uncle! Not him! ”

"Why is that? These brothers are brothers who fought with me on the battlefield in the northwest! Now, they are wounded and crippled, and they can no longer wield a sword or hoe pears, and at this time, my father wants me to abandon them??? ”

Yuan Feng frowned and did not speak.

Yuan Shu was silent for a moment before he said, "Father, I know that you are afraid, but I raised these soldiers with the permission of the Son of Heaven..."

"This is different..."Yuan Feng said helplessly: "Before, you were using your own money to help them, this is not in the way, this is just your personal behavior, but now you want to use the financial resources of the Yuan family, this is different, this has become the matter of the Yuan family, even if I die, you can't use the Yuan family's money to raise soldiers, otherwise, if the crime of raising private soldiers falls on you, the entire Yuan family will suffer the wrath of the Son of Heaven..."

Yuan Shu came to see Yuan Feng like this, just to feed the remnants of the mansion through the Yuan family, these remnants of the soldiers, are the elite who followed Yuan Shu's campaign, and now, they are all injured and unable to do farming, so Yuan Shu left them by his side, but it is really difficult to relieve Yuan Shu alone, these people are hundreds of people, but Yuan Feng does not agree with Yuan Shu to use the Yuan family's financial resources...

When Yuan Shu stiffened his face and returned to the mansion angrily, Liu Mastiff hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit, Hua Xiong on the side also stood up with a smile, Yuan Shu just snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to Liu Mastiff, and walked back to the study directly, Liu Mastiff didn't have any anger on his face, but asked with some doubts: "Uncle Hua, what's wrong with Shijun?" Hua Xiong said helplessly: "It's not about money..."

"It seems that Yuan Gong didn't agree..."

Liu Mastiff frowned and asked, "What money?" ”

Hua Xiong continued: "It's not these old brothers in the house, they are injured, they can't support themselves, and now they all rely on the captain alone, and the captain's little bit of money is difficult, difficult!" Liu Mastiff thought for a long time before asking, "Then what will you do if you have no money all the time?" ”

"What can I do, the character of the lieutenant will definitely not complain, he must sell something... These old brothers, I don't want to embarrass the captain, I'm afraid that everyone will have to go back, alas, I don't know what else they can do after they go back..."

Liu Mastiff did not answer, but ran back to the house, Hua Xiong was wondering, Liu Mastiff took a package, ran to Hua Xiong, handed it to Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong held the heavy package, a little stunned, Liu Mastiff said: "This is the money I have saved over the years, and some mothers, grandmothers, and aunts gave me... Uncle will take it and help these uncles privately..."

"This..."

"Uncle, the mastiff has been here for half a year, and over the years, everyone has regarded me as a son and nephew, and has been very close to me and very loving, how can I be indifferent at such a time? Uncle will use it, but don't let the master know, and use it secretly..."

Looking at those clear eyes, Hua Xiong couldn't speak for a long time.

On the second day, when Zhuge Liang arrived, he saw Liu Mastiff kneeling in the courtyard, I don't know what to talk about with Hua Xiong, seeing Zhuge Liang coming, Hua Xiong got up, and walked away, Zhuge Liang walked to Liu Mastiff's side, bowed to Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff smiled, and said: "Kong Ming, how many times have you said it, you don't have to be like this, sit...", Zhuge Liang sat in front of him, Liu Mastiff looked at him, shook his head, and said: "Shijun doesn't teach today?" ”

"Why?" After Zhuge Liang asked, he seemed to notice that something was wrong again, coughed, and said, "Then what about Your Highness, do you read books by yourself?" Liu Mastiff sighed, looked at Zhuge Liang, and told the things in the mansion one by one, after hearing him say it, Zhuge Liang understood, thought about it again, and said: "Your Highness, in the Han Dynasty, such a situation is not uncommon, it is also Yuan Gong Xinren, those old pawns in other places... Alas... I don't know what kind of suffering I am suffering..."

"What should be the opinion of Kong Ming?"

"If you can move the captain, let the captain play, ask the temple to increase the pension fee for the veterans, and support the injured and disabled veterans for life, so that not only can the soldiers have support, but also motivate the soldiers, so that the soldiers are dedicated to the country and are not afraid of conquest..."

Liu Mastiff's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said, "Then I'll go, I'll go and tell my father, let my father implement these policies!" ”

"Your Highness?? Cannot! Cannot!! Never! ”

Zhuge Liang almost jumped up, he looked at Liu Mastiff, slowly calmed down, and said: "Your Highness, this matter is not allowed, this matter can be mentioned by anyone, but His Highness cannot be mentioned!" ”

"Why?"

"It's... It's better to let my master say it, even if Yuan Gong goes to play, His Royal Highness can't do this. ”

"No... You don't know, they don't say that they can't move the father, the father's temper is very bad, what the officials say, he can't listen to it, or I'll talk about it..."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mastiff, organized the language, thought for a long time, and then said in embarrassment: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is strong, and His Royal Highness is the eldest son of the emperor. If Your Highness is playing, I'm afraid it will... I have lost the love of the Son of Heaven..."

Liu Mastiff chuckled, he understood what Zhuge Liang wanted to say.

"Kong Ming. If I can make tens of thousands of warriors who fought for the country and sacrificed at least be able to live happily and more steadily after being discharged from the army, even if I lose my father's love, then what does it matter? ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, he looked at Liu Mastiff's clear smile and was stunned....

"Your Highness.... The grandson of the temple of Zhennairen..."

When Liu Mastiff and Yuan Shu resigned, saying that they wanted to go back to the palace, Yuan Shu didn't even meet him, so he allowed it, Liu Mastiff knew in his heart that Shi Jun didn't value himself very much, compared to himself, Shi Jun actually valued Zhuge Liang more, if he asked, Shi Jun would only reply a few words according to the script, and when Kong Ming asked, Yuan Shu would become extremely enthusiastic, Liu Mastiff did not resent Yuan Shu's unfairness, nor was he jealous of Kong Ming's favor.

After all, Shijun still taught himself very carefully, without any favoritism, and Kong Ming was also his closest confidant and friend.

After he returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to visit his grandmother, but his grandmother still couldn't recognize him, but the little guy still told his grandmother what he learned from Yuan Shu very seriously, and for some reason, when he heard about the ram school, his grandmother became very sober, and even a few moments, she recognized Liu Mastiff, although there were only a few moments, Liu Mastiff was still very happy, and then went to see his mother.

Mother is still that sullen appearance, since she and her father began to quarrel over her grandfather's affairs, Liu Mastiff rarely saw Mother's smile anymore, Liu Mastiff told Mother what he had learned, but it didn't make her laugh, Liu Mastiff could only say goodbye and leave, and walked into the Hall of Virtue.

"Hehehe....."

The Son of Heaven sneered, staring at his son who was kneeling in front of him, Liu Mastiff raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Father, those soldiers are really bitter...."

"Who taught you to say that?"

"Not taught by others, but by children..."

"Rebel! Shut up!! ”

"Who taught it, Yuan Shu? Guan yu? Yuan Feng? Or Zhuge Liang?!! ”

"Father, it's true that no one teaches..."

The Son of Heaven stood up suddenly, glared at Liu Mastiff in front of him, and said: "Tell me who it is, today's events, I will not say it, if you don't confess, in the future, don't go to Yuan Shu's mansion again..."

Liu Mastiff's face was suddenly frightened, and he said: "Father's atonement, father's atonement... The child really wants to learn from the teacher..."\\

"Whom, then, taught the ????"

Liu Mastiff pursed his lips, his face gradually turned pale, and he said, "It's the child himself." ”

......

Liu Mastiff walked in the palace, holding back tears, looking for the Yellow Gate and the palace maid, I don't know what he was asking, he lost the opportunity to study with Yuan Shu, and the Son of Heaven didn't pay attention to his weak defense...

was walking around, and saw a few palace maids, these palace maids saw Liu Mastiff, and hurriedly smiled and saluted, which made Liu Mastiff a little flattered, and the palace maid asked with a smile: "I don't know what His Highness is looking for?" ”

"Ah, I.. I'm looking for a cushion, my teacher... No, it's Yuan Gong, he was injured in the battle, his back is not very good, he kneels for a long time, he often aches, before parting, I want to send him a cushion as a thank you..."

"Your Highness Gaoyi, oh, by the way, Your Highness, there seem to be a lot of cushions in the Zhongzang Palace, or I'll go and get them for Your Highness?"

When Liu Mastiff heard this, he saw all kinds of things in their hands again, and said with a smile: "No need, I'm tired of you, I'll get it myself, thank you, thank you..."

Hearing Liu Mastiff's words, the palace maid's face changed slightly, she was entangled for a long time, and hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn't say anything, she bowed to Liu Mastiff, no words, and left, Liu Mastiff went to the Zhongzang Hall in person, strangely, there were no soldiers guarding here, he took a cushion from the inside, and said to the yellow door on duty outside, and then left the palace.

When he arrived at Yuan's mansion, Hua Xiong kindly pulled him in, and Guan Yu was also by his side, but he still looked indifferent.

"Uncle... I'm here to see Master and say goodbye to him..."

Hua Xiong asked in surprise, "Farewell??" ”

"Father won't let me come again..."

"What?? How does he.." Hua Xiong was furious, the words were not finished completely, Guan Yu on the side hurriedly covered his mouth, he could only hum, unable to speak, Liu Mastiff bowed to them and walked into the study, Yuan Shu was kneeling in front of the desk, not knowing what to think.

"Master...."

"Hmm."

"The disciple is here to say goodbye... I can't accompany Shijun in the future, I hope Shijun will forgive me..."

"Hmm."

"Shijun, these days, thanks to Shijun's care, thank you, mastiff!"

Liu Mastiff got up and bowed to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu still had no words.

Liu Mastiff took out a soft cushion from his side, put it on the side of the case, and said: "I know that Shijun often has back pain, this thing is made by Ma Yilang, Shijun can be more comfortable with his back against him..."

Yuan Shu raised his head at this time, looked at the Liu mastiff in front of him, looked at him seriously, wanted to see a little hypocrisy, or fraud, but he didn't see it, Liu Mastiff said goodbye, walked out of the study directly, and left here, Yuan Shu sat stunned, looked at the soft cushion on the case, frowned, speechless, Hua Xiong rushed into the study, looked at Yuan Shu, and shouted: "Captain, why don't you keep him!" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with you!"

"But his business is related to the captain!!"

Liu Mastiff walked out of Yuan's Mansion, he walked in the forefront, followed by a few guards, looked back at Yuan's Mansion, a little reluctant, wiped away the tears, Liu Mastiff reluctantly showed a smile, left here, just walked out of a street, a group of guards appeared in front of him, they were armed, their eyes were cold, looking at Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff was shocked, and several guards behind him pulled out their long swords.

Among the guards, a eunuch walked out, and it was Hanmen.

"Your Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, you have stolen the Son of Heaven's things, and you have been discovered, please Your Highness, go to Zongzheng Mansion with us...."

"And the four of you, quickly put away your swords, what's the matter, you still want to do it with me?" Han Men looked at the guard in front of Liu Mastiff and scolded.

The four guards in front of Liu Mastiff looked at Han Men coldly, did not move, and did not put away the swords in their hands.

When Han Men saw them like this, he was furious.

Liu Mastiff trembled all over, his eyes were a little desperate, and he said: "You guys put it away quickly, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't be held by Han Gonggong..."

Even if Liu Mastiff ordered this, they didn't put it away, and the person at the head said coldly: "Your Highness treats your ministers with your siblings, and your ministers guard Your Highness with their lives!" ”

"It's reversed, it's reversed, it's all reversed!!"

"Come on, arrest these four guys who don't know what to do!! And Your Highness, bring it back to me as well!! Han Men shouted.

At this moment, a cold voice came from afar.

"I want to see who dares to arrest my disciple of Yuan Highway....."
