Chapter 12 Yueyang Tower (II)
The man smiled: "Actually, there is another person who has this potential today." ”
Ma Yun seemed to be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask sir, who is this person?" ”
The man laughed, and then pointed to Yueyang City and said, "This person is not anywhere else, just here... Da Chu. ”
Ma Yun looked at Ziying and the others, and was quite happy in his heart. However, Zhao Pu had a gloomy face, staring at this person deadly.
The man paused, and then said: "This person is Ma Guangliang, the second prince of Da Chu!" ”
Ma Yun's smile was completely rigid in an instant, and his embarrassed look could no longer be hidden. Zhao Pu sneered: "Sir's words, are you exaggerating. Liu Zhiyuan's account is a lot of fierce generals in the army, Li Ji (King of Nanchang in the Southern Tang Dynasty) is also a bit virtuous, the second prince is obsessed with poetry and painting, how can he compare with them! ”
The man shook the fan slightly, closed it with a "swish", and said disapprerovingly: "Compared with the two just now, Ma Guangliang has at least four advantages, how can it not be regarded as the potential to become a hero!" ”
Ma Yun had a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Dare to ask sir, what are the four advantages?" ”
The man smiled and said: "First, although Ma Guangliang is not the son of the Great Chu, he is the eldest son, and he is deeply favored by the King of Chu. This is Ma Guangliang's advantage, he stands in the name of righteousness. And those people just now lacked that title. ”
Ma Yun said slowly: "This is not necessarily. King Wumu left a will, to 'brother to brother', this throne should be replaced by the envoy of Langzhou Festival in the future. ”
The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he said, "Childe's knowledge has also been shallow." At that time, Ma Yinliu left such a will because the sons were young and feared that the power would fall. Now that Ma Guangliang is twenty years old, and the king of Chu has been in power for more than twenty years, how can he be willing to pass on his younger brother and not his son. ”
Ma Yun's expression was suffocated, and the man continued: "This second advantage is that Ma Guangliang is brilliant and brilliant, "Last night's spring rain in Xiaolou, today's withered trees and new sprouts" are even more sung all over the world, and he will be the king of Chu in the future, at least in Chu, it should be the hope of the people, this is the will of the people." ”
"This third, Ma Guangliang studied under Liao Guangtu, Li Gao, Xu Chongya and others, these people are talented, they are the first of the eighteen bachelors of Tiance, and they have a huge influence in the Chu State, with their help, Ma Guangliang is also able to govern the Chu State with ease. He had more than enough counsellors to serve him. ”
"This fourth, I recently heard that Zhang Shaodi, the right general of Chu State, was dismissed from his post after being convicted, Zhang Shaodi is a general of Chu State, and has been in charge of the elite forbidden army of Chu State, and now his position is taken over by Wang Yun, but Qiong is allowed to be his deputy, this permission Qiong is Ma Guangliang's wife and brother, and Ma Guangliang has a lot of relationship, so it can be seen that Ma Guangliang has won the military power of Chu State. This also paved the way for him to further seek the position of son. From this point of view, Ma Guangliang is not very advantageous. ”
Seeing that Ma Yun was silent, the man continued: "However, although Ma Guangliang has so many advantages, he still has a fatal weakness. ”
Ma Yun glanced at the man differently and asked, "What are your weaknesses?" ”
The man looked at the rippling Dongting water outside the window, and said: "The Chu State is located in the center, the Han State in Lingnan, and the Shu State in the west. Only the Central Plains Dynasty in the north has many soldiers and generals, but fortunately, Nanping helped Chu to face this danger, and Nanping and Chu are really cold. It's a pity that there are always some people in the Chu State who can't see the situation clearly, and they are bent on destroying Nanping, once Nanping is destroyed, then Great Chu will have to spend a lot of effort to prevent the Central Plains, and there will be no more strength to fight in the east and west. ”
As soon as these words fell, Zhao Pu next to him sneered and said: "What a powerful mouth, what a fine work of Li Tang." Your Excellency fanned the flames and demagogically in the name of the hero, but there is no one to deceive me! Qian Qing quickly took this person down. ”
Ma Yun quickly came back to his senses, this person said that others called him by his name, but when he talked about Li Tang's characters, he was unusually respectful, and he must have a lot to do with Li Tang.
Qian Qing at the top of the stairs stepped forward and was about to take someone. The man smiled and said, "Slow." ”
Then he gave a deep salute to this Ma Yun and said, "Five princes, is it so intolerable." Since this is the case, I don't have to work to catch it, so I will jump off this Yueyang Tower. ”
Zhao Pu's face darkened, obviously thinking of something, and was about to speak. Ma Yun said with a smile: "Mr. is really talented, but with Mr.'s talent, he must not be able to tolerate Li Tang's 'five ghosts', why don't you do things in Yuezhou?" ”
The man smiled at the window and said, "The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king." How can you be in danger of apostasy! If I am a renegade in danger, I am afraid that I will not be able to use it to the prince, right? ”
Ma Yun saw that he always accentuated his tone in front of the word "in danger", and he understood his thoughts in his heart, this person has positioned himself as a weak scholar from beginning to end, and Ma Yun is the powerful prince of Chu. If Ma Yun takes someone, this person will jump off the building, so that the high hat of "can't tolerate people" will naturally be buckled on Ma Yun's head. Zhao Pu had already figured out this joint, and seeing that this person was such a scoundrel, he really had some worries about throwing a mouse.
Ma Yun sighed and said, "Since Mr. is so insistent, he naturally can't be reluctant." As he spoke, he waved his hand at Qian Qing and motioned to get out of the way.
The man arched his hand and smiled: "It is worthy of being the sage king of Chuzhong, with a large belly, high knowledge, and fast brains, I admire and admire him." With that, he swaggered downstairs. Seeing that Qian Qing was still about to make a move, Ma Yun waved his hand and asked him to step back.
Ma Yun was in a mood for a while, looked at the hazy Junshan outside the window, and said slowly for a while: "The country is picturesque, how many heroes are there at one time!" ”
Seeing that Ma Yun was depressed, Zhao Pu guessed what he was thinking, and said: "Lord Wang, since this person has extraordinary knowledge, but as Li Tang's meticulous work, then what he said doesn't have to be taken seriously." The prince now feels that his words are reasonable, but it is actually a preconceived opinion. Looking down, this person's remarks don't make sense, so you don't have to take it to heart at all. ”
Ma Yun glanced back at Zhao Pu, he was indeed moved by the words of the person just now, and he was really a little disheartened for a while, and he couldn't lift his spirits.
Zhao Pu said: "Let's take the second advantage he said first, Lord Wang, think about it, there are a few people in the ancient Ming Dynasty who have passed down poetry and paintings, and those who are far away are Liu Bang, the second emperor of Wenjing, and those who are close to Tang Taizong Li Shimin, how many of these people have poems and texts that have been handed down." Therefore, if a person is good at humanities, he is Mingjun, and this conclusion is too arbitrary. ”
Ma Yun immediately thought of the two emperors of poetry and painting: Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and felt that it was really the same thing, and he suddenly felt a lot more relieved. In fact, what Zhao Pu said is also one-sided, after all, there are also good poems, such as the Cao father and son of the Three Kingdoms. But after all, Ma Yun is not willing to live a mediocre life, so Zhao Pu's words of advice are unusually pleasant.
Zhao Pu continued: "This third article, among the eighteen scholars of Tiance, except for Lord Tuoba and Lord Shi, most of them are experts in poetry and words, and they often delay state affairs. ”
"This fourth article, Xu Qiong's qualifications are shallow, and there is Wang Yun on it, only relying on the prestige left by his father, hum, relying on this thing to cure the army that has been managed by Zhang Shaodi for ten years, how is this possible. I dare conclude that for at least three years, Joan will not be able to command these armies. ”
As for the first one, it is even more absurd. If the king of Chu really wants to establish a son, he can do it now, and with the prestige of the king of Chu, no one in the country dares to oppose it. But he just doesn't stand, what does this mean, this shows that the king of Chu wants to pass on his son, and he is unwilling to disobey King Wumu's last words, he has been hesitant. At this stage, everyone has equal opportunities. ”
Ma Yun smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Pu paused, hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The only thing to worry about is that this person actually guessed our intentions for Nanping. ”
