Chapter 423: Cooked Ducks Can't Fly
Just when Yuan Tan and his little mascot were fighting for the right to rule the embroidery building.
On the other side of the mansion, Sun Ce was discussing with Zhou Yu in his study about the subsequent house arrest of Liu Bei.
"Big brother, this time it's done. We trapped Liu Bei with the method of wedding, and the people of the world thought that we were preparing for his wedding, and we couldn't say anything. ”
Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu's words and nodded repeatedly.
There always needs to be a reason to do something.
That is, the big countries of later generations will have to find excuses for doing bad things abroad, let alone doing bad things at home.
"The four counties of Jingnan ...... open up the road ...... entry. Jiangdong is the head, Jingzhou is the waist, and Shuzhong is the tail, good, good is very ....... ”
Sun Ce is full of hope for the future at the moment, and half of the country is just around the corner.
At this time, Wu Guotai's envoy came from outside the door.
The envoy came in and said: "Marquis Wu, Wu Guo has an order to re-assess Liu Bei and assess the six arts of the gentleman." ”
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Isn't it already passed?" ”
The envoy bowed, "Wu Guotai said, the previous interview was an interview, but now it is an actual assessment, which can be regarded as a written test." ”
I'll go.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were still happy just now, were dumbfounded.
If you still have to assess, the variables will be too big, and the feelings just now will be wasted.
But the two knew that they couldn't confront Wu Guotai in this matter, otherwise they would fight and the plan would be over.
What's more, Sun Ce is a dutiful son, and he will not fight with his mother.
The duck was cooked and stunned, and the turn of the matter was really unexpected. But thankfully, Wu Guotai did not regret it, but just investigated more.
So it was on this night.
Zhou Yu personally came to the post where Liu Bei was.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Xu Shu looked at Zhou Yu with wide eyes.
"Isn't it already passed?" Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu with a look of being tricked by you.
Zhou Yu was actually very willing to help Liu Bei clear the customs, but he couldn't express it, so he looked at it with a straight face, "The previous one was just an interview, and now it's a written test." ”
Written? I really despise it.
"Governor, I don't know what the assessment is?" Liu Bei said.
"The Six Arts of a Gentleman." Zhou Yu said.
Liu Bei had to agree.
After sending Zhou Yu away, Liu Bei panicked, "Strategist, we didn't expect it before we came, how can this be good?" ”
Xu Shu was very calm, "If you compete in the six arts of a gentleman, it will not be difficult for you." ”
The six arts of a gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Etiquette: etiquette, moral culture.
Archery: Archery technique. These five archery skills are: White Arrow, Shen Lian, Yan Zhu, Xiang Ruler, and Jing Yi.
White Arrow: The arrow pierces the target and the arrow turns white, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful
Connection: put a arrow in front, and the last three arrows go continuously, and the arrows belong to each other, if the beads are connected
Note: It is said that the arrow is sick, the aiming time is short, and the arrow is released and hit
Xiang ruler: the minister and the king shoot, the minister and the king stand side by side, let the king retreat one foot
Jingyi: The four vectors are coherent, and they all hit the target
Mi: The technique of driving a horse-drawn carriage.
It is divided into: Ming and Luan: It is said that the sound of Luan corresponds to the driving force
Water Chaser: Ride along the curved shore without falling into the water
Passing through the monarch's table: There is etiquette after passing through the table of the Son of Heaven
Dance: Ride through the passage and drive freely
Chase the bird to the left: Chase the animal while hunting and shoot it from the left.
Shu: Refers to calligraphy.
Number: refers to the number of rational and qi (the law of the application method), that is, the law of movement of the five elements of yin and yang.
The six arts of the gentleman were most valued before the Sui Dynasty, but anyone with a little background will learn the six arts of the gentleman.
As a battle-hardened prince, Liu Bei's etiquette was a compulsory course, and his ability to shoot and drive a carriage had long been proven on the battlefield.
Calligraphy is also his strength, and he is not afraid of these.
"But, military advisor, if you count the qi, you ......." Liu Bei was embarrassed.
Xu Shu said calmly: "Don't worry, my lord, there is me." ”
The number of rational numbers is a compulsory course for military divisions, and military divisions can not shoot arrows or ride horses, but they cannot understand rational numbers and qi numbers.
…………
The next day, early in the morning.
In Sun Shangxiang's embroidery building, a battle for hegemony broke out again.
Jingle bell.
The big sword and the small sword are in full swing.
But this time the maids were not afraid, but watched with great interest.
The steward maid Xiaobi also gave an order, so someone carried a basin of water, and someone hung a towel and waited for a while.
"Daughter-in-law powder~ Don't beat daughter-in-law powder, save some strength, Liu Bei's assessment is about to start today." Yuan Tan used a sticky word trick with a big sword, and he always stuck to the small sword.
Sun Shangxiang couldn't compare with Yuan Tan in terms of martial arts or strength, and he was panting after a while.
Sun Shangxiang gritted his silver teeth, and thought that after repelling Liu Bei, he would report Yuan Tan and let Yuan Tan be imprisoned in Jiangdong's prison forever, and he would torture him every day.
Anyway, with Yuan Tan's misdeeds yesterday, she will definitely not be able to get married. Although others don't know what Yuan Tan did, Sun Shangxiang knows that she can't be sorry for her future husband. Then, you can only not marry for the rest of your life.
"Then I will torture him for the rest of my life!"
After Sun Shangxiang had this idea, he stopped.
The maid Xiaobi hurriedly brought someone up to serve, handed a towel again, and wiped her sweat.
Less.
"Mrs. Guotai invited the eldest lady to the front hall, Uncle Liu Huang has already arrived, so he is waiting for the young lady." A messenger came from outside, and he spread the word outside the building.
Ten minutes later.
Wuhou Mansion Chamber.
The scale of Sun Ce's conference hall is quite large, and it can accommodate hundreds of people without being crowded.
At this moment, the members of Jiangdong gathered here.
After all, to assess Liu Bei, there must be an examiner and a notary, so Jiangdong has come to the twelve tiger ministers, the twelve civil ministers and so on.
"Xuande, don't worry, I support you." Sun Ce held Liu Bei's hand and said.
As the initiator of the marriage, Sun Ce's support is reasonable.
Seeing Liu Bei's embarrassed face, Sun Ce said again: "Xuande Gong doesn't have to worry, if you take the assessment this time, Xuande will pass the test as long as he meets the standard." ”
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seemed that he didn't show embarrassment in vain, and set out a certain amount of information. It's just that if he meets the standard, Liu Bei is full of confidence.
But at the moment, he didn't show much confidence, and nodded gratefully.
Xu Shu said from the side: "Jiangdong and Jingzhou are brotherly states, if we can form this good relationship, we will unite in the future, advance and retreat together." ”
Zhou Yu and the others nodded their heads one after another.
"Wu Guotai is ......." As soon as the song was sung, everyone hurriedly stood up.
Although Sun Ce and Liu Bei are both princes of one side, facing Wu Guotai at this moment, one is a son and the other is a prospective son-in-law.
Wu Guotai is the biggest here.
I saw Wu Guotai coming in, and a group of maids and attendants.
Sun Shangxiang did not show up in the back hall, and Yuan Tan was among the attendants.
After everyone saluted, they must have said that Liu Bei was assessed.
Sun Ce said: "Mother, the examiner's words this time are Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Sun Jing, and Lu Su. ”
Ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, Cheng Pu is the deputy governor of Jiangdong, and Sun Jing is the elder of the Sun family.
And Lu Su should be particularly mentioned, he is the richest man in Jiangdong, but he is rich and benevolent, so he has a very high reputation. He is the first benevolent elder in Jiangdong, and legend has it that he has never said a word out loud in his life. Therefore, after the death of Zhou Yu in history, Lu Su succeeded to the throne and became the second generation of governors.
It seems that this examiner has an extraordinary background.
With Sun Ce's roll call, the five people came to Wu Guotai and stood in a row.
At this time, Yuan Tan walked out of the attendants and stood behind Lu Su.
Immediately, everyone's eyes converged.
Sun Ce wondered and asked, "Mother, who is this person?" ”
Not only did he wonder, but Liu Bei also wondered.
