Chapter 119: Asking the Governor's Mansion
For two days in a row, Wei Ba stayed in the post house and didn't go anywhere, to be precise, he couldn't go anywhere. However, Wei Ba knew that the two days seemed to be peaceful, but in fact they were not calm at all, and this kind of silent contest was sometimes more dangerous than a fierce frontal conflict.
At this point, any anxious mood is no good, he has already done what should be done, and all that remains is to wait patiently.
As Prime Minister Zhuge said, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. We do our best to do things, whether Zuihou can succeed or not, depends on whether God still blesses the big man.
Wei Ba has no interest in Han Buhan, he is most concerned about his own life and death now, then the rise and fall of the Wei family, and then he will consider whether the Han family will die.
The rise and fall of the world is a matter for a saint like the prime minister to consider, and ordinary people, can they afford to have such a heart? Not to mention now, it is a democratic society two thousand years later, when will it be the turn of the world's major events to be the beak of the husband and the woman.
Wei Ba wants to pretend to be a god stick, not only can he not let go of his belly to eat, but he also has to pretend to meditate every day. This was to arrange the haode thing when Zhuge Liang made a plan, and for this reason, Zhuge Liang also specially found two people who were proficient in Taoism to enlighten Wei Ba. Wei Ba was often arraigned during the days when he was locked up with Jin Dongliu, but in fact, the arraignment was fake, and listening to the Taoist priest's lecture was true.
Despite the pre-job training, it was difficult for Wei Ba to fit into this identity. Not to mention anything else, the homework of meditation at the meridian every day made him very broken, not to mention that he was concentrating and resting, just saying that sitting motionless for an hour was enough to make him regret Mo Die.
An hour is two hours, and he has to sit cross-legged, and everyone has to scold his mother, not to mention that in the middle of the night, everyone is sleeping, but he still has to pretend to enjoy himself and abuse himself.
As depressed as possible, as regretful as possible. Wei Ba still persevered. He didn't know if anyone was watching him, but he could only act as a spy when someone was watching him. You have to be vigilant and not careless.
Prime Minister Zhuge said, this is called Shendu. Don't think that you can relax when you're alone, the more this time. The more careful. Shendu is the method of Confucian self-examination, and Wei Ba expressed his admiration for Prime Minister Zhuge for being able to use the Confucian method of mind. And because of that. He has enough confidence in this jihua, and the jihua personally drawn up by the cautious Prime Minister Zhuge in his life, even if he does not guarantee success, at least there will be no low-level mistakes, as long as he executes it according to jihua, there should be no major problems.
On the afternoon of the third day, Wei Ba had just taken his seat. Xiahou Mao sent someone to invite. Wei Ba's legs were sore and numb, and every step of his walk was like a thousand needles, but he didn't dare to shirk, so he still insisted on going.
When he saw Wei Ba's twisting and limping, Xiahou Mao's eyes were a little weird. He looked at Wei Ba fixedly for a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he suppressed it: "You ...... every day Sitting on the meridian? ”
Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "It's not every day, I haven't fled for the past two days, and I just started to do my homework again, and I have to start from scratch." ”
Xiahou Mao finally couldn't hold back his laughter. He sent people to observe Wei Ba in the past two days, and found that he would meditate at every meridian hour, and at one time, only a little more. But what he couldn't figure out was that every time Wei Ba got off the seat, he would have numb legs, which was not the situation that a perennial cultivator should have. After listening to Wei Ba's explanation, he was relieved.
"I see, that's hard for you. Meditation is a matter of years and months, accumulating day by day, or how to call it kung fu. Xiahou Mao sighed and said with the same feeling: "There are many cultivators, and there are very few people who have attained the Dao. It is not difficult to meditate every day, two days a day, a month or two months, but it is not something that ordinary people can do if they persist for decades. ”
Wei Ba showed admiration on his face: "The general is really clever, and my mentor said the same." ”
"Yes, who is your teacher?"
"This ......" Wei Ba shook his head in embarrassment: "Don't hide it from the general, he didn't tell me." ”
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything. Most of the people in the Daomen are hidden, and it is normal to have this kind of behavior. It's just that I know that there are masters, but I can't listen to and ask for advice, which is a little regrettable.
"Master once said that goodness is like water, and a drop of water can pierce a stone, relying on kung fu. Kung fu is accumulation, and the longer you work hard, the deeper your kung fu will be. Only when you reach the stage of sitting and forgetting can you talk about the first glimpse of the Tao. ”
Xiahou Mao smiled bitterly. Of course, he understands these truths, but he can't stick to them. Beauty is in front, who would not sleep with a beauty in the middle of the night, but go to sit.
"It's easier said than done." Xiahou Mao suddenly felt a little closer to Wei Ba, and said as if he were his own children: "You are still young and have not married a wife yet, right?" There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, and before you have children, don't be too attentive to Taoism. ”
Wei Ba's face darkened, and he was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I am an unfilial son now, what can I do if I have no future?" Meditation to cultivate the mind is just one of them, blessing your parents and talking about your heart. ”
Xiahou Mao's heart was sour. Although he is good and lustful, he has no great skills, but his heart is not bad, especially his filial piety to his parents is no worse than others. Wei Ba defected, he has parents but can't support them, but his parents have passed away, and his son wants to raise him but his relatives are not there, and he empathizes with this sadness.
"Don't be too upset. Fathers, sons, and brothers serve their own kings, and this kind of thing is also common. Isn't Zhuge Liang also a brother serving the two masters? You can rest assured, as long as you are loyal to my Great Wei, in the future, I know that you will not be able to make a name for yourself in my Great Wei and pass on the blood of your Wei family? My Great Wei now has a Ming monarch and a virtuous minister, and it is just around the corner to dominate the world. The day when your father and son will be reunited will not be too far away. Young people, be a little ambitious, don't be like a child. ”
"Thank you, General, for your encouragement." Wei Ba sniffed and put away his tears.
Xiahou Mao nodded with satisfaction. In the past two days, under the urging of Xiahou Hui, he finally put some thought into his business. As soon as I looked at the accumulated official documents, I knew that Wei Ba - if the one in front of him was really Wei Ba - was not just Wei Yan's son. He is only nineteen years old this year, but he is already the youngest person in the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army, and he has real power to join the army. Not long ago, in the battle of Fangling, it was he who led the surprise soldiers to repel Sima Yi, so that Sima Yi returned with a feather, and Sima Yi's surprise attack also became the evidence of his blind and impetuous, ignorant of military aircraft, if it were not for the insistence of the Son of Heaven, Sima Yi, the hussar general, would have been dismissed.
Sima Yi, who was nearly fifty years old, was defeated at the hands of the young man in front of him, who had not yet reached the age of twenty. This alone is enough to prove that you have found a treasure. At this moment, without being reminded by others, Xiahou Mao also understood that Weishenme Jin Dongliu refused to show Wei Ba's identity to him - Xiahou Mao believed that Jin Dongliu must know Wei Ba's true identity, because he was captured by Wei Ba, how could he not know Wei Ba? As soon as he thought of this, Xiahou Mao was very annoyed, and he even complained to the Son of Heaven about it.
For him, the most important thing now is two things: one is to prove that Wei Ba is indeed the same Wei Ba, and the other is to take Wei Ba back to use. The former thing, he has already sent someone to investigate, I believe that there will be news soon, the embarrassment is the latter thing, Wei Ba has repeatedly expressed his refusal to be an enemy of his father, he doesn't even want to stay in Chang'an, but wants to go to Luoyang to join Zhang Lu, will he be willing to serve me?
Xiahou Mao adopted a roundabout strategy and decided to soften Wei Ba first, and Taoism was a common topic between them. With a common topic, two people can communicate together often. So after two days of secret observation, Xiahou Mao decided to meet with Wei Ba and began formal contact.
Seeing Wei Ba sad and crying, Xiahou Mao felt a sense of accomplishment. The fact that a person can confide in the presence of another to the point of shedding tears at least shows that the wariness between them has been diluted and the heart has been opened.
Although he wanted to ask Wei Ba Zhuge Liang what plan he wanted to use to attack Guanzhong now, he still held back. Xiahou Hui repeatedly reminded him that these topics should not be mentioned too early, so as not to resist Wei Ba, it is best to move people with emotion, and wait for Wei Ba to take the initiative to speak. Although Xiahou Hui is a junior, Xiahou Mao trusts her very much and listens to everyone, so now although she scratches her heart, she still hides those words in her heart, and chats with Wei Ba without a word.
"You said, you have some experience in Taoism, I don't know what kind of experience it is, maybe it opened my eyes?"
Wei Ba bowed down and said, "The general is busy with military affairs, do you still have time to study Taoism?" ”
Xiahou smiled reservedly: "Otherwise, the way of civil and martial arts, one by one." If you use magic to defend against the enemy, you will be busy and useless. Only by resisting the enemy with the Tao can you command Ruo Ding. ”
"General Takami." Wei Ba praised it, thought about it, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, my experience is just some personal thoughts, and I cherish myself, maybe it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the general." ”
"Anyway, it's idle to have nothing to do, let's talk about it, it's also haode." Xiahou Mao waved his hand and said disapprerovingly.
Wei Ba smiled secretly in his heart, and his heart was really that his father knew more about this opponent he had never met. Zhuge Liang has been stationed in Hanzhong for almost a year, and the movement is so big, everyone knows that the big war is just around the corner, and this Anxi general actually has the leisure to talk to him about Taoism, if he is not intentionally tempted, that is, he is really a person who does not understand military affairs. Having such a person guarding Chang'an is a godsend for Shu Han. No wonder Zhuge Liang went so smoothly when he first came out of Qishan, until the veteran Zhang He came out and Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, the situation reversed and went straight down, and he returned in vain.
If you change anyone, as long as you have a little common sense, you won't ignore Zhuge Liang so much. Even if Zhuge Liang is a scholar and has never fought any battles, the 100,000 army is always true, right? The least preparation must be done, right?
This time, it is the most haode opportunity, and we must not let it go.
Wei Ba secretly made up his mind, coughed, pretended to be not very confident, and said slowly: "Dare to tell the general, after I learned the Tao, I followed Lao Tzu's principle of 'human law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven law and nature', spent a lot of time observing all things in heaven and earth, and found some very strange numbers. I think that the Avenue of Heaven and Earth is actually the way of numbers. ”
