Chapter 20: Serendipity
Sima Yi, whose name is Zhongda, is just fourteen years old this year according to the custom at this time.
Whether it was in the world he lived in before, or in this era, Sima Yi was still just a child. But what is very different from ordinary teenagers is that not only is he calm, but also extremely knowledgeable, no matter the astronomy, geography, classics, history, sub-set of military books, war books, but whatever Liu Xie thinks, he can answer.
After listening to it for a day, Liu Xuan was surprised that Sima Yi had such knowledge at such a young age: "It is worthy of being the later important minister of the Wei State, which is really unusual." ”
After coming out of Chang'an, Liu Xuan did not continue to ride on the horse, but sat in the car with Cai Yan.
At the beginning, his second brother Liu Wei could still look around because of the novelty, but after watching it for two days, he felt bored, and riding a horse was also very tiring, so he also changed to a car, and by the way, he talked about private things with his wife Tang Ji.
Only Liu Xie's youthful temperament, and Sima Yi was by his side, still riding a horse back and forth in the team, chatting with Liu Xuan and Liu Wei from time to time - the cart has a window, covered by two layers of cloth curtain and tulle, and you only need to lift the curtain to see the outside situation, and talk to the rider next to the cart.
What's more, Liu Xuan didn't stay in the car all the time and didn't come out, sometimes he would sit outside, feeling the spring breeze that was still slightly cool, while looking at the green that had begun to sprout.
Today he is sitting here, originally as the emperor should maintain his due prestige, but now he has gone far, and there are no outsiders in this team, and at the same time, Liu Xuan did not go anywhere and shouted: "The old man is the emperor!"
So no one cares about being properly relaxed, as for Zhong Xuan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate who was waiting on the side, he wanted to persuade a few words, but the key was that the emperor didn't care, and he didn't want to sweep the emperor's interest at this time.
This time, there were only a few officials accompanying him, including Hubu Shangshu Xun You, Huangmen Shilang Zhong Xuan, Yilang Wu Shuo and Guo Jia, and only Huang Zhong and the personal guards, that is, the hundred or so Yu Linlang were the commander of the school captain Qin Yilu.
The rest were all soldiers and attendant maids and eunuchs, and these people were not many in number, and when they walked, they all sat on the back trains, and the two carriages were all seated.
It can be said that Liu Xuan's movements on this trip are not as good as those coming from some large caravans, and he is quite low-key. And in addition to the local county guards, the low-level officials did not know that the emperor would be visiting their areas.
It's not that Liu Xuan wants to do any private interviews, it's just that it doesn't make sense to tell those low-level officials about those things, and now that the power of the counties is in the hands of the Taishou, it is enough for him to notify these Taishou.
In addition, the team will send messengers to Chang'an every day to let the court know the emperor's daily movements and the current location of the team, so that the court can find the emperor as soon as possible when there is any emergency.
But in fact, Liu Xuan had already prepared, he gave Cao Cao and Xun Yu a piece of transmission jade talisman, if there was an emergency, the specific situation would be entered into the jade talisman, and then urge the formation on the jade talisman, and the jade talisman would automatically fly to Liu Xuan's hand, even if Liu Xuan had already gone to Liangzhou, it would not take a day's effort, and the speed was quite fast at this time.
It was precisely because of these reliance that Liu Xuan was relieved and boldly ran outside to sway.
"It's a pity that it's not suitable to play what to play at this time, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the drama of a private interview with a microserver, I think I still like to watch what jokes about so-and-so and so-and-so micro-service private interviews when I was a child......"
After taking a look, he suddenly saw that Shi Daoren didn't know when he rode his horse to the side of the cart, Liu Xuan was stunned, and then asked with a casual look: "Daoist has something to say, right?"
He didn't have any special impression of this Shi Daoist. It's not disgust, it's not like or appreciate. However, Shi Daoren is also a person with real materials, so Liu Xuan is still polite to him, since he saw Shi Daoren also walking with the team, he knew in his heart that this old Taoist had something to say to himself.
In order to wait for this Daoist to speak on his own, Liu Xuan didn't even implement the series of teaching plans that he had originally planned - when he came out this time, he deliberately brought Huang Zhong and abducted Sima Yi, in addition to looking around, he also wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate these two people, but unfortunately because of the delay of Shi Daoren's matter, it has not been implemented.
When Shi Daoren saw the emperor asking, he didn't go around in any circles, and said directly: "What does Your Majesty think about the situation today?"
"Huh?"
I never thought that this Shi Daoist would actually raise such a question with himself, this seems to be something that those literati and military generals in the court and China like to talk about, is it possible that the monks at this time like to pay attention to the world's major affairs? Nanhua is like this, and so is this Shi Daoren!
"If the Taoist chief has anything to say, let's just say it!"
Shi Daoren didn't expect this young emperor to speak so casually, since this was the case, he said straight to the point: "That Nanhua old immortal, poor Dao can be regarded as understanding, and now this person stands up and raises troops to make trouble, he must have enough support...... Although Your Majesty also understands all kinds of mystical methods, he ......"
"However, there is no guarantee that the Han dynasty can still be reunified, right?"
Halfway through hearing this, Liu Xuan finally understood what this Shi Daoist was going to say, it turned out that he was doubting whether he could defeat the old ghost of Nanhua.
I don't want Shi Daoren to listen to Liu Xuan's words but shook his head: "That's not the case, after Poor Dao left Luoyang, he traveled around for a while, and he also saw what the Yellow Turban Army did, and knew that although Nanhua was ambitious enough and his ability was not bad, he was not a person who could be the master of the world." ”
"On the contrary, Your Majesty, it is more suitable to sit in this country!"
"Hmm, why do you say this?" Liu Xuan was very curious, what was the judgment of this Daoist based on?
I only listened to Shi Daodao's words: "Traveling all over the world, the Yellow Turban Army has not considered how to make the people's lives better except for looting, and the places they pass are like locusts crossing the border, not a single grass grows, and there is no tile, and this kind of behavior is the public enemy of the people of the world." ”
"Without the people as the foundation, they can't sit down even if they fight down this country!" I didn't expect this Shi Daoist to really have a lot of research on this aspect, and he pointed out the most deadly place of the Yellow Turban Thief: "On the contrary, the area governed by His Majesty, although it is the same as raising soldiers and horses, and collecting a large number of young and strong, but instead of blindly attacking the Quartet, but using the young and strong to reclaim wasteland, encourage farming, and also use the surplus two meters of the imperial court to help the people, and win the hearts of the people......"
"In addition, His Majesty also used the Xuanmen Dao technique to govern the world, whether it is the idea or the subtlety of the spell, it makes the poor Dao extremely admired! The people can eat enough, they will naturally return to their hearts, and there is enough food and rice, and the army can also have extremely strong combat power, at that time, ......"
Naturally, there is no need to say the following words, in the eyes of Shi Daoren, the Yellow Turban Army is an inevitable end.
Liu Xuan naturally understood that what he was curious about was why Shi Daoren was talking to him? He didn't take the initiative to ask, he guessed that the real topic was about to be said next.
Sure enough, Shi Daoren saw that Liu Xuan didn't answer, and he also knew that this young son of heaven was waiting for his next words, and that was the most important thing.
"However, after some observation, Poor Dao found that what His Majesty practiced was the way of dragon qi and national fortune, although Poor Dao didn't know what kind of miraculous magic method could actually control the dragon qi of a country, but he also saw that the strength of the country determined His Majesty's cultivation speed and strength, and now that the country is weak, the weakness of the dragon qi is almost dissipating, and His Majesty's cultivation is probably difficult to advance in a short period of time, right?"
I didn't expect to talk about it, and in the end, I went around to my own cultivation. Liu Xuan couldn't help but pay attention to this matter, in fact, he himself had a headache about this problem. But in the current situation, in addition to relying on some adventures, you can only improve the strength of the dynasty step by step and then improve your own strength, there is really no way to think about it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this Shi Daoist opened his mouth, Liu Xuan was taken aback.
"Poor Dao cultivation for more than 100 years, although the cultivation is not very strong, but because I like to travel all over the world, so I know many secret things, and now there is an opportunity to improve Your Majesty's cultivation, but I don't know if Your Majesty has this idea......
Shi Daoren felt that the suggestion he put forward would definitely be accepted by Liu Xuan.
There is no other reason, as long as Liu Xuan wants to deal with Nanhua, then he has to find a way to make himself stronger - he doesn't know that Liu Xuan's current cultivation is enough to deal with Nanhua, he just thinks that although Liu Xuan has miraculous skills, and he also cultivates with dragon qi, and can manipulate dragon qi, but he is still not necessarily Nanhua's opponent when he really fights, so the Son of Heaven must have an urgent need to improve his own strength.
In fact, although it is a bit biased, Liu Xuan does care a lot about things that can improve his strength, after all, he wants to restore the prosperity of the Han family in order to make his strength stronger.
However, he didn't think that it was because he was sympathetic to the people that he had a good impression of this compassionate Shi Daoren, so he did his best to help.
Looking at this person's face, it is estimated that there is something he wants in the so-called 'chance', and his own strength is not enough to be able to get it, so he came to find himself and wanted to use his own hands to achieve something.
"What exactly do you want?"
Liu Xuan was indeed tempted, and even he had basically decided to go with Shi Daoren. But it doesn't mean that he is willing to be a fool who doesn't know anything, since he wants to cooperate, then show some sincerity, at least he has to explain the so-called chance first, right?
As soon as this sentence was asked, the Daoist understood what Liu Xuan meant, and when he heard this, his face couldn't help but show joy: "This matter is very important, and it is not suitable to talk about it in detail here, why don't you wait until you set up camp and then explain it in detail to Your Majesty."
