Chapter VII: The Three Precepts
"It's not safe to go to Luoyang this time, so it's the most traffic-saving and ad-free site on mobile phones." In the Chengming Palace, Liu Xie sat with Lu Lingju and the Qiao sisters, and helped Lu Lingju dial an orange and handed it to her.
"Your Majesty is so partial, I didn't see him dial it for us." Qiao Rong flattened her mouth and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"When you get pregnant, I'll dial you." Liu Xie knocked on Qiao Rong's head, and said with some amusement: "In this palace, there are the largest pregnant people." ”
Lu Lingju pulled Qiao Rong into his arms, shook his head and looked at Liu Xie with a smile: "Your Majesty is too worried, don't forget that the concubine is also the daughter of Jiangmen, and she has some self-defense skills, besides, this time when the capital is moved to Luoyang, the concubines in the palace are not with you, what does it mean?" ”
"Nonsense!" Liu Xie stuffed the orange into her mouth, shook his head and said, "The family is restless now." ”
Thinking of Yang Biao's old fox, Liu Xie frowned, although he was still young, he still attached great importance to his first child.
"The Guanzhong family?" Lu Lingju blinked curiously, in her impression, the Guanzhong family didn't seem to have anything to fear, it was great, and it was also to besiege the palace gate, although it was a little annoying, but it was just this little trick, she didn't think that this family could pose any threat to Liu Xie.
"More than that, it's a family in the world, this place in the middle of the pass, I have been in business for five years, but over there in Luoyang, a large number of displaced people have just migrated, and the personnel are complicated, besides, you are pregnant now, how can you suffer from the fatigue of traveling?" Liu Xie put down the orange and said solemnly: "This matter has been decided, and after this battle is over, I will bring you to Luoyang." ”
"Your Majesty has made a little fuss." Lu Lingju nodded helplessly, since she was pregnant, coupled with Liu Xie's meticulous care, the strength and heroism of her temperament from Lu Bu have softened a lot, although she felt that Liu Xie's move was too careful, but she still nodded in agreement.
"There is no trivial matter in the royal family, especially now that the situation is chaotic, I still have my emperor, there must be no accidents." Liu Xie said in a deep voice: "This time, except for Xu Chu, the palace guards will stay. ”
"Then Your Majesty's safety ......" Lu Lingju and the Qiao sisters couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, the royal guards have always been Liu Xie's personal bodyguards, and they have made great contributions to Liu Xie more than once in the past, this time Liu Xie completely abandoned the royal guards, so how to ensure Liu Xie's safety?
"I am in Luoyang, and not the front line, unless the princes can break through the Tiger Prison, Xuanyuan or Mengjin, otherwise, I can sit back and relax, besides, Zhongkang's bravery, I am afraid that only your father is capable of suppressing the court, looking at the world, there are not many people who can hurt me." Liu Xie smiled, there is one more thing he didn't say, since Shuzhong was won, Shu Ding has been perfected, his ability has been improved again, and now his force has broken through the ninety level, although it is not the top, but as an emperor, it is enough to have a certain ability to protect himself.
"It's just that Your Majesty's safety is related to the country's social welfare, how can it be because of the concubine?" Lu Lingju frowned.
"I'm important, and so are you, that's how it was decided." Liu Xie touched Lu Lingju's belly: "These guards joined me when I was still a puppet, and they were the same loyalty, and they handed over the safety of their concubines to others, and I didn't feel at ease." ”
The royal guards, but Liu Xie fed them with dragon qi, there is no need to doubt loyalty, and each of them is close to the level of first-class generals, proficient in combined battle formations, although there are only five hundred people, but as long as the terrain allows, they can break ten thousand troops, plus the fortifications of Chengming Palace, only these five hundred people, even if the army of Chang'an is reversed, it can't be taken, not to mention, every army of Liu Xie is personally trained by him, and the leading generals are also promoted by him, if you want these people to turn against themselves for the sake of interests, it is unlikely.
Liu Xie is ready to meet the Jedi counterattack of the family, but how the family will make trouble, except for Lu Bu's line, Liu Xie is not clear, and this time when he goes to Luoyang, the big and small families in Chang'an will be taken away, and it can also reduce some of the pressure on Chang'an's side.
As for his own safety, Liu Xie is actually not too worried, take a look at the generals he brought with him on this expedition, Lu Bu, Pang De, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and the two grandmasters Tong Yuan and Wang Yue, such a lineup plus Liu Xie's own good strength and the elite of each department, if Liu Xie can still have an accident, in addition to sighing at the will of heaven, Liu Xie really can't think of any other explanation.
……
Chang'an, lecture martial arts.
"Congratulations to the young son, Your Majesty is on this expedition, and the hand-picked son can go out with the army." Pang De came with a military order this time to come to the martial arts hall and was responsible for summoning Ma Chao.
"Finally ......" Ma Chao heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement, he suddenly raised the bamboo note in his hand, slammed it to the ground, and howled wildly: "Freedom, finally don't look at these damn things, come on, burn all the books here for me!" ”
"Is Meng Qi dissatisfied with the old man's books?" An old man appeared from behind Pang De, looked at Ma Chao indifferently, and then looked at the bamboo paper on the ground.
"Old ...... Teacher!? Ma Chao glared at the old man who appeared in front of the door, the other party was powerless, but Ma Chao was in front of the other party, but there was no trace of the previous arrogance.
This old name is Zheng Xuan, the word Kangcheng, when Liu Xie was spreading the engraving and printing technology, he wrote to Kong Rong, invited him by private letter, and told Zheng Xuan in detail about the concept of the three learnings.
This is the only remaining Confucian in the dynasty, and his reputation is not under Cai Yong at all, but what makes Liu Xie appreciate more is that although Zheng Xuan is a famous man in the world, he only looks at his talent when he selects disciples, not his background, and he has a lot of poor disciples, and is deeply admired by the world, the most outrageous thing is that when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was in place, a large number of yellow scarves swept through the land of Qingzhou, and everywhere they passed, such as locusts transiting, but outside Zheng Xuanmen, no one dared to take a step, not only did not grab grain, but even many Yellow Turbans also sent a lot of food to him.
Perhaps it is the momentum accumulated over the years as a teacher, although Zheng Xuan is just an old Confucian and has no power to restrain chickens, but in front of him, whether it is the Ma family's problem children or other students, in front of Zheng Xuan, they are as harmless as chickens.
"Brother, I heard that you were appointed by His Majesty to participate in the war this time, this is a big war, I ...... The teacher ...... "Ma Tie rushed in in a hurry, and before he could see the person clearly, he was like a cannon and said complaining words, but when he saw Zheng Xuan's gaze, his neck shrank and his body turned: "I remembered, my father told me that something is wrong, brother take care!" ”
Ma Chao glared at this unrighteous brother, gritting his steel teeth, but he was helpless.
"Pick up the book." Zheng Xuan walked straight into Ma Chao's study and sat down.
"Whoa." Ma Chao had a bitter face, and picked up the bamboo notes and books he threw on the ground one by one, Pang De looked funny on the side, but he didn't dare to laugh, and stood at the door with a smiling face.
"Reach out." Zheng Xuan took out a ring ruler and looked at Ma Chao lightly.
"Teacher, this ......" Ma Chao wanted to earn some rights for himself, he was going to go on the expedition, why should he be angry with this old guy, he just raised his head and looked at Zheng Xuan, lowered his head in frustration, and obediently stretched out his palm.
"You have good talents, but you are active by nature, irritable by nature, this time Your Majesty moved the capital to Luoyang, not only to fight against the princes of the world, but also to fight for the long-term stability of my Han Dynasty, although not the main general, but the old man hopes that you can assist Your Majesty with peace of mind and achieve the achievements of the ages." Zheng Xuan looked at Ma Chao's outstretched hand and said lightly: "At the time of parting, the old man will give you impermanent things, only three precepts, may you not forget." ”
"Smack~" Just as Ma Chao wanted to ask, the ring ruler had fallen, don't look at Ma Chao as a super-first-class general, but he is still flesh and blood, and it still hurts, and this ring ruler has been with Zheng Xuan for I don't know how many years, and he already has an experience, this ruler will not hurt people, but the pain will be doubled.
"Pride is the root cause of failure, the old man hopes that you will be the first to guard against arrogance!"
"Smack~" fell another foot, Zheng Xuan looked at Ma Chao: "You are impetuous by nature, and you should not be a big deal, but you don't know, the more impetuous, the easier it is to expose flaws, and be taken advantage of by the enemy, the second commandment, the old man hopes that you can quit being impatient!" ”
"Smack~"
"For the way of the general, don't be greedy for merit, you are still young, the most likely to commit this taboo, as everyone knows, on the battlefield, for the general to be greedy together, is the time of defeat, the third precept, the old man hopes that you will quit greed!"
At the beginning, Ma Chao was still grinning, but as Zheng Xuan fell every foot, Ma Chao's expression gradually became serious, and his eyes were a little red.
After the three feet were finished, Ma Chao suddenly knelt down in front of Zheng Xuan, bowed down and bowed: "The words of the teacher's three precepts will never be forgotten for life, thank you for the teacher's teaching over the years." ”
"Alas~" Zheng Xuan looked at Ma Chao a little lonely, put the ring ruler on the table, and sighed: "You haven't finished your studies, the old man didn't want you to be out at this moment, but this battle is about the fortune of the country, and it is also about the inheritance of my Han Dynasty. ”
In order to increase the ability of the generals under his command, the art of war and learning will be taught, Zheng Xuan, as a guest of the martial arts, counted, and all the people in the martial arts hall have the friendship of master and apprentice, but Zheng Xuan since he entered Chang'an, I don't know how many powerful children come to the door to apprentice, but they are all rejected by Zheng Xuan, and now Zheng Xuan's solemn preaching, speaking of which, can be regarded as a real disciple of Ma Chao.
"Teacher, rest assured, Meng Qi will live up to the teacher's high expectations!" Ma Chao bowed respectfully.
"Childe, don't apprentice yet!" Ma Chao didn't hear anything for a while, and Pang De on the side was a little anxious.
Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly he hurriedly bowed to Zheng Xuan again: "Disciple knock to see the master." ”
Zheng Xuan didn't speak, but looked at Pang De and said lightly: "The general is no longer the general of the Ma family's army, and now the general is a general of the imperial court, I hope the general will remember." ”
Pound was stunned, then smiled bitterly and bowed, not daring to say more.
