Chapter 676: The Queen Mother's Loneliness
The little Tianzi groaned for a long time, his voice was low, but his attitude was very resolute. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info**"Sir, what is Lu Gong dissatisfied with, although the civil assessment in the world is in Situ Mansion, isn't the right to decide still in the Inner Dynasty?" During the reign of the first emperor, there was no precedent for several Situ Ke to veto the appointment of the Son of Heaven. ”
Liu Xiu had expected it, and he smiled slightly: "Because of this, the world will be in chaos." ”
Xiao Tianzi's face suddenly turned red, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and laughed lightly: "Mr. is saying that politics does not come out of the Son of Heaven, so that there will be a way in the world?" ”
Liu Xiu didn't answer immediately, he just looked at Xiao Tianzi quietly. Xiao Tianzi's words are not unfounded. His words came from Confucius, which was said by Confucius when he criticized the Ji family, which was used here, and this Ji family seemed to refer to Lu Zhi, but in fact it was directly aimed at Liu Xiu himself.
Liu Xiu reached out and took the teacup from the case and poured himself a cup of tea. He sipped his tea slowly, his eyes staring at the floating tea leaves, his brows furrowed slightly. Xiao Tianzi's breath was a little anxious, he looked at Liu Xiu intently, his little face was red, his nose was open, and the small fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his palms were sweaty.
"Your Majesty, the Chunqiu Five Tyrants, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, is there anything about the Lu State here?"
Xiao Tianzi was stunned, thought about it, and shook his head.
Liu Xiu put down the teacup, took a piece of tea from his lips, and bent his fingers, and the tea leaves accurately fell into the waste finger basket next to the case. "Confucianism comes from Lu, but unfortunately, there is no Lu in the five hegemons of Chunqiu, and during the Warring States Period, Lu had already destroyed the country. It can be seen that the length of the national honor has nothing to do with the way of Confucianism. Emperor Xiaoxuan of the previous dynasty once said to the prince that the Han family overlord used it miscellaneously. How can you make full use of Confucianism? Emperor Xiaoyuan did not listen, and reused Confucianism after ascending the throne, and Wang Mang rose because of this. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, there were many Confucian scholars who waved their flags and shouted for him. Your Majesty, didn't Mr. Cai tell you these tangible lessons? If he didn't say it, it would be a dereliction of duty, and the minister would impeach him. ”
Xiao Tianzi was speechless. Of course, Cai Yong has told these stories in "Han". However, Cai Yong is a Confucian student, and his explanation of this matter and Liu Xiu's interpretation are completely two directions. Now he used the words of Confucius to refute Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu directly replied with the words of Emperor Xiaoxuan. It can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
"Confucianism was founded by Confucius, Confucius died, and Confucianism was divided into three schools. Each has its own saying, until the revival of Mencius, but Mencius's Confucianism is no longer Confucius's Confucianism. After Mencius, to Xunzi and Dacheng. However, Xunzi's Confucianism is not Mencius's Confucianism. Xunzi's generation of Confucianism taught Li Si and Han Fei, two Legalist disciples. Gaozu founded the country, rested with the people, emphasized the old and light Confucianism, and the Confucianism was not obvious. To Dong Zhongshu tried the three strategies of heaven and man, saying that Emperor Xiaowu respected Confucianism alone, but in the end of Emperor Wu's dynasty, Confucianism was not allowed to be reused, and among the three ministers. Is there a Confucian? By the time of Emperor Xiaoyuan, the Confucian scholar Fang flourished in the dynasty, but for decades, the Yan Han Dynasty was usurped by Wang Mang. Your Majesty, these ...... Did you understand? ”
"I ......" Xiao Tianzi stammered and couldn't answer.
"Your Majesty, read. We can't just memorize some chapters and sentences, let alone put aside historical facts and play them at will, otherwise, we will be suspected of playing tricks. Liu Xiu picked up the teacup again and drank the tea calmly. Xiao Tianzi was very depressed, he just quoted a sentence of Confucius, but he was taught a lesson by Liu Xiu, and as a result, he also made a "tongue-showing" judgment, but he really couldn't say Liu Xiu, so he had to hide the stuffiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister is a person who leads the army, and he is not good at academics. If Your Majesty wants to talk about academics, the minister can recommend a few great Confucians, such as Song Zhong, Qi Wuhong and the like, they are all good at learning, when Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, he often discussed learning with them. ”
Xiao Tianzi was speechless with anger. Liu Biao was driven out of Jingzhou by Liu Xiu, and now he lives in his hometown in Shanyang, and recommends the great Confucian who used to discuss knowledge with Liu Biao to him, Liu Xiuzhen will still pick people.
"This ...... I'll talk about that later. I came this time to learn how to use soldiers from my husband, not to learn Confucianism. Xiao Tianzi was afraid that Liu Xiu would not give up, so he quickly diverted the topic and lowered his posture. Please also ask for your advice. ”
"Your Majesty is interested in the way of the army, and I am very happy. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Liu Xiu held the cup and talked eloquently. Xiao Tianzi's eyes immediately widened, and he listened attentively to his explanation. Liu Xiu's study of Sun Tzu's Art of War originated from his study of Duan Cheng. Duan Cheng is a military general, and it is his duty to study Sun Tzu's Art of War, but although Duan Cheng is a famous general, he will naturally limit himself to the identity of a general in his heart, he focuses more on tactics than strategy, and it is impossible to consider the problem from the perspective of the whole world. Liu Xiu is different, his perspective is much higher than Duan Cheng, and his understanding of Sun Tzu's Art of War is far greater than Duan Cheng.
Xiao Tianzi had read Sun Tzu's Art of War before, and often discussed it with Zhou Yu and others, but the scope of their discussion was roughly not within the realm of Duan Cheng, because of the lack of practical experience, their understanding was still superficial. Now listening to Liu Xiuyi, he suddenly has a cloud opening, and he has a feeling of heaven and earth. He listened attentively, remembered every word of Liu Xiu in his heart, pondered carefully, and asked two questions from time to time. Liu Xiuhui stopped and answered them one by one, and some of Xiao Tianzi's original questions were answered one by one, and he suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and he had gained a lot, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and forgot for a moment the dilemma of being squeezed by Liu Xiu just now.
After the tent, the Empress Dowager Song stood quietly, and Liu He stood beside her, holding back a smile, her eyebrows and eyes flying. Empress Dowager Song also smiled shallowly, stretched out her hand to stroke Liu He's hair, but her heart was a little sour. Xiao Tianzi is Liu Xiu's son, and he lived in Liu Xiu's mansion for several years when he was a child, although he is not nominally Xiao Tianzi's biological father, but in fact, in Xiao Tianzi's mind, Liu Xiu is more like a father than Emperor Xiaoling. It was reasonable for him to be close to Liu Xiu, but the pride in his daughter's eyes made her a little jealous. She could see that Liu He's worship of Liu Xiu was probably more enthusiastic and natural than that of Xiao Tianzi.
The Empress Dowager Song gave Liu He a look, and the two crept out of the back tent and returned to the Empress Dowager Song's imperial tent not far away. As soon as he entered the account, Liu He couldn't help but chatter. "Queen Mother, I'll just say, as long as Your Majesty sees my father, he will gain a lot. My father is not only good at using soldiers, but also good at preaching. No matter how complicated the truth is, he can explain it in simple terms and easy to understand. His Majesty is smarter than me, I can understand it, and he must have gained more. ”
"You're not bad either." Empress Dowager Song took Liu He's hand and said with a smile: "I have heard many people say that he is approachable with Lord Weng, and there will be a mother in the world." Ahhe, have you forgiven him now? ”
Liu He smiled shyly: "Actually...... This matter is not in me, and my marriage is naturally decided by my parents. ”
"Your grandmother is naturally no problem, what does your father think?"
"He...... Hehe...... Liu He shrunk his neck: "My father said that if His Majesty's heart knot cannot be untied, he will not let me marry into the royal family." He wants to find me a good man who is not very high, but who is upright and motivated. ”
Empress Dowager Song raised her eyebrows: "Is there a satisfactory candidate?" ”
"How can it be so fast." Liu He shook his head again and again: "Daddy said that I am still young, so I don't need to think about these things in a hurry now." ”
"Still young? You're thirteen years old, so if you don't get married now, wait another three or four years, and when you're sixteen, can you still get married? ”
"Daddy said that he didn't think about it until he was eighteen years old."
"Eighteen?" Empress Dowager Song was stunned for a moment, she wanted to laugh but didn't laugh. "It's going to take five years. My Han woman is fifteen years old and married, which woman is eighteen years old? ”
"That's what Daddy said." Liu He blinked his eyes and smiled a little proudly: "I think Daddy wants me to accompany him for two more years." ”
Empress Dowager Song sighed and said a little angrily: "This is too unreasonable, he has other children, how can he delay your marriage because of this?" ”
"I don't think it's a big deal." Liu He said disappreciably: "Eighteen years old is not too late, my mother was born at the age of eighteen." Daddy said that I am in such good health because my mother gave birth to me late. Being born later is not only good for women, but also for children. ”
Liu He said, his face flushed embarrassedly, and his jade-like transparent earlobes turned red. Empress Dowager Song saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, instinctively hugged Liu He in her arms, and let out a long sigh: "Ah He, your father has several children, and I heard that Feng Xue gave birth to another daughter for him, who is as beautiful as Feng Xue." He doesn't have you, and he has other children, but I am very lonely in the palace, I hope you can marry as soon as possible, and you can accompany me more in the future. ”
Liu He lay in the arms of the Empress Dowager Song, blinking in confusion. She felt that the Empress Dowager Song said something strange, and she hugged her a little too tightly, as if she wanted to snatch her from Daddy, for fear that if she hugged her loosely, she would be snatched back by Daddy.
"I can also accompany the Queen Mother now." Liu He said softly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, when you are in the camp, I will come over to accompany you as soon as I am free, okay?" ”
"Yes, of course." Empress Dowager Song nodded again and again, but she was not satisfied. She clearly knew that the battle of Puyang would not take too long, after Liu Xiu and Cao Cāo joined forces, the small Puyang City had no room for resistance at all, maybe as long as the army besieged the city, Puyang would surrender without a fight. At that time, she will return to Luoyang with Xiao Tianzi, return to the palace, and if she wants to see Liu He again, she has to issue an edict to ask Wang Chu to take Liu He into the palace. Even if Liu He entered the palace, Wang Chu would sit on the side, and it was impossible for her to sit with Liu He alone.
And judging from Liu He's reaction, Liu Xiu is likely to keep her by his side until she marries into the palace at the age of eighteen, and she will be able to get along with her daughter day and night. Five years, what a long time this will be. She's been waiting for thirteen years, and she doesn't want to wait another day.
We must find a way to implement this marriage. Empress Dowager Song secretly made up her mind in her heart. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )rv
