Chapter 169: Brothers Accept Apprentices and Tongue Wars Ministers
"Hahaha! Boxiong, I really didn't misunderstand you, these two boys will be handed over to you, and I am not the same as the second brother, you won't bother with this martial art, I will teach him, but this strategy or something, but I will leave it to you, haha! I'll go first, you good * apprentice! Bao'er, Xing'er, you have to listen to Master's words well, otherwise, your third uncle will not be able to spare you. Zhang Fei listened, laughed and said, couldn't help but say anything, and strode out talking to himself.
Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Fei's back and couldn't help but feel a headache, alas! This guy, it's too hasty to hand over my son and nephew to me! That's it! That's it!
Zhao Xu looked at the two children in front of him, pondered for a while, and said: "From today on, you two are my disciples, there are a few teacher rules, you must memorize them, do you hear?" ”
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing nodded as if they didn't understand, and said in a milky voice: "Yes, Master." ”
Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a headache, and said helplessly: "Zhang Bao, I remember that you are one year older than Guan Xing, since you worship me as a teacher, then you are a senior brother, if you are not a brother, you are better than a brother, you want to be like your uncle and your father, so be it!" It's up to me to be the master, and today you will be brothers. ”
Zhang Bao and Guan Xing glanced at each other, and they didn't know if they understood or not, so they said in unison: "Yes!" Master. ”
Zhao Xu doesn't like to be so troublesome, worship heaven and earth. Immediately said: "Good! Then you will worship the emperor and the queen of heaven, and then worship me, and then you will be done. ”
When the two heard this, they kowtowed to heaven and earth, and then kowtowed to Zhao Xu, and then the two faced each other, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Guan Xing (Zhang Bao) has seen the eldest brother (second brother)." ”
I go, who taught this? As soon as I heard it, I wanted to teach it myself! Both of them are only five years old! All geniuses? Could it be that the ancients were so precocious? Alas! No matter what, it's the son of Jiangmen! It seems that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's education is not bad! laughed at the moment, then changed his face, and said seriously: "Okay! From now on, you are brothers, you remember, learn art first and learn morality, and those who practice martial arts can never be strong and weak, and they cannot bear the word affection; The eldest husband is a man in the world, and he must protect his family and defend the country and prosper the country. Well, that's enough to remember. If not, if I hear your treachery in the future, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will definitely clear the portal, understand? ”
After all, the two of them were young, and they were both taken aback, and said with palpitations: "The apprentice must remember the master's words and swear not to disobey the master's teachings." ”
Zhao Xu looked at the two of them with immature but serious looks, and couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, it is still a precocious child who is easy to teach!
"Good! Since you are so sensible, then it is good, Xing'er, you can stay in my house for the time being! ”
"Yes, Master!" In the eyes of Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, Zhao Xu is a god-like existence, although the two of them are young, they have revered Zhao Xu for a long time, and they often tremble to listen to the story of Zhao Xu and their father's expedition, and in Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's words, Zhao Xu is praised to the sky, so the two of them worship Zhao Xu very much, even more than their father.
"Big brother, I heard that Yide is here, where is it?" At this time, I suddenly heard Zhao Yun shouting, and I saw Zhao Yun walking out and saying as he spoke.
"Oh! Yide is here to help me accept apprentices, No, let me introduce, this is Guan Xing, this is Zhang Bao, you should recognize it! ”
"Guan Xing Zhang Bao? Isn't it the son of Yun Chang and Yide? It's all grown so big. Suddenly, Zhao Yun stared at Zhang Bao, looked carefully, and suddenly stroked his palm and smiled: "It's really a good seedling for gun practice that is hard to find in the world!" ”
"What's wrong? Zilong, you don't want to take Bao'er as an apprentice! He has Yide's father, and I think it is difficult to make progress in martial arts! As long as you practice to the level of Yide, you can already stand alone in the world. Zhao Xu saw Zhao Yun's words and deeds, and he had already guessed what Zhao Yun was thinking, and said with a smile.
"That being said, you can go to the next level in marksmanship."
"Good! Since this is the case, then the martial arts teaching of the two of them will be handed over to you, I will teach Wen, and you will teach martial arts, just right. Quick, meet your second master. Zhao Xu had an idea and said suddenly.
"Zhang Bao (Guan Xing) visits the second master." Both of them are ignorant, but they just follow what Zhao Xu said.
It just so happened that he could relax, Zhao Xu wished that someone would share it for him.
Zhao Yun hurriedly picked up the two, nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, Zilong will definitely teach well." ”
……
The next day, when he went to court, the little emperor Liu Xie told Zhao Xu's proposals, asked the minister's opinion, and before Zhao Xu and others could speak, a voice suddenly came out of the ministers: "Your Majesty must not!" I saw a person stand up, salute Liu Bei and Liu Xie, and said.
"Oh? What does Aiqing recommend? The crowd looked. It turned out to be the counselor Xia Zheng, this person does not belong to any faction in the court, he is upright, and his personality can be said to be extremely stubborn.
"Your Majesty, such an open trade, emancipating serfs, and disrespecting the ancestral system. Let the businessmen run rampant, where to care about the face of the wealthy family? I have not set this precedent for the four hundred years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and this move may cause a mutiny among the landlords of the family! Your Majesty, you must not! The land reform implemented in the four prefectures of Qinghai, Hebei, Youzhou, and Youzhou has greatly aroused the dissatisfaction of the clan, and if these suggestions of General Zhao are implemented, they will inevitably cause turmoil, and they are really ill-intentioned, Your Majesty think twice! ”
"Why did Lord Xia say this? How did Zhao Xu have bad intentions? Since the trade of Qinghai, Hebei, Youzhou, and the four prefectures, the economy is booming, agriculture is also very considerable, many places have a bumper harvest over the years, but there are still deficiencies, a certain person suggested to His Majesty, not to mention the pilot in Qingzhou first, why did the doctor slander me! Zhao Xu listened to it, and was slightly angry, this old man, what do you know? Lao Tzu is from more than a thousand years later, is it not as good as you?
"Yes! Aiqing, General Zhao has always been loyal, all he wants is for the benefit of my Han, if it weren't for the emperor's uncle and General Zhao to kill Dong thief and pacify Guo Yan, I will wait for An to have today, Aiqing's words are afraid to hurt the hearts of loyal ministers! Liu Xie was persuaded by Zhao Xu yesterday, but now he is looking at Zhao Xu.
"Your Majesty, although General Zhao has made meritorious contributions to saving the car and has made meritorious contributions, the military system, commerce, and agriculture of the four states have been changed, and that's it, if this salt and iron official sale is open to the people, it will inevitably cause a mutiny of the clan, which is a move that does not respect the ancestral system. And once these heavy objects of iron and salt are released, it will inevitably cause chaos among the people, and it will be difficult to make another Yellow Turban Uprising, when the rebellious army is well-equipped, it will be more difficult to deal with, and also, businessmen are mercenary, and they have been unrighteous people since ancient times, how can they be allowed to act recklessly? General Zhao's suggestion, isn't it ill-intentioned? Your Majesty, Holy Judge! Xia Zheng said, and a few more people came out to persuade Zhao Xu, and only Yang Biao, Wang Yun and other old ministers read about their relationship with Zhao Xu and did not speak.
"Uncle Huang, this ......" Liu Xie asked Liu Bei for help with a look of embarrassment, but Liu Bei also knew that it was difficult to make up his mind for a while, and he was silent.
"Humph! This is the court, not your private residence. Boxiong's advice is for the sake of the people, Your Majesty speaks, how can you wait for you to interject! What a crime to be guilty of roaring in court! Touch your head, but it's still there? A group of ignorant people, Boxiong alone, is better than your group of rotten people, hum! Zhang Fei really couldn't stand it, and shouted.
Zhang Fei's words were like thunder, shaking the entire court, and the ministers were shocked, measuring how a group of weak people listened to the tiger roar, they were all shocked by Zhang Fei for a while, and they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Yide Hugh is rude!" Liu Bei shouted.
Liu Xie was also taken aback, and his heart palpitated, but he knew that Zhang Fei was so temperamental, knew that Zhang Fei was loyal, and Liu Bei was a righteous brother, although he felt a little rude, but he still opened one eye and closed one eye.
Zhao Xu smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Fei with a little gratitude, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, which means that the original order of my Han Dynasty is useless, and the law must be changed and reformed. In the past, Gaozu pacified the world, and Emperor Guangwu reinvigorated the Han Dynasty, all of which reformed the system and formulated laws and regulations according to the actual situation at that time. If Your Majesty fears that the opening of iron tools will cause a mutiny, he may enact a law prohibiting the sale of bladed swords, and as for the unrighteous merchants, most of the income of the current imperial court, as well as the income of the various states and counties, is collected from the merchants, and the rich merchants will prosper in agriculture. ”
"Having said that, how can the wealthy families of the various clans allow you to reform wantonly? The wealthy family is the most important thing in the country, even if they do not mutiny and arouse public opinion, it will not damage the majesty of the imperial court. Xia Zheng diverted the topic and said.
No, there is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful, and if you are general, you will be long." Words! In the spring and autumn of the past years, all countries changed the law in order to become stronger, how can we blindly follow the system of our ancestors? What's more, now the people and businessmen of the five states of Qing, Hebei, You, and Xu are grateful to the imperial court, and dare to ask your lordship, how does the family arouse public opinion? Can't the people tell who is right and who is wrong between the court and the family? ”
Zhuge Liang couldn't stand it anymore, and came out to help Zhao Xu come out. As soon as Zhuge Liang led, Xu Shu and a group of people also came out to help Zhao Xu speak.
The ministers were speechless for a moment, as if this was the case, and they couldn't think of how to refute Zhao Xu and the others for a while. Seeing those diehards deflated, Zhao Xu sneered and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, in the past, Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, and did not implement the tyrannical Qin legal system, but established his own laws and regulations, so that he was able to restore his national strength, and Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone. Nanping Baiyue, north chasing the Huns, so that my Han Dynasty has been powerful for more than 100 years, it can be seen that you can't stick to the rules, you must change the law with the times, the teachings of several emperors, Your Majesty and you can forget? ”
"The teachings of the first emperor, I naturally dare not forget." Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Zhao Xu couldn't talk about the ministers, and at this time, he couldn't help but admire the eloquence of Zhao Xu and others.
Zhao Xu continued: "Your Majesty, it's not that Zhao Xu has the intention to suppress the clan, but for the sake of the country. To put it irreverently, Emperor Gaozu is not from the world, not to mention the support of the people, why not be afraid of the obstruction of the world, the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to law, and the words of people are not enough! I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”
As soon as Zhao Xu said this, everyone was taken aback, such arrogant words showed Zhao Xu's courage, and those who opposed it did not dare to speak again for a while.
"Do you have any opinions?" Liu Xie couldn't help but be surprised by Zhao Xu's words, and asked with a little relief.
…… All the ministers were speechless, what Zhao Xu said was reasonable, and he was really speechless, and everyone couldn't help but think.
"Since this is the case, then according to Zhao Aiqing's proposal, it will be implemented on a certain day and dispersed!"
Zhao Xu looked at the minister who was pondering with a blank face, and couldn't help but feel funny, fight with me, hum! Live another thousand years!
