Chapter 40: Captain Yao
In the afternoon, the sun moves west.
When Bingfu Jian was touched by Huo Qu's illness, his breath soared into the sky.
In the southeast of Chang'an, in a city thousands of miles away, an old man slowly raised his head and looked out into the sky.
He wears a cyan scarf-like tiara, in his sixties, but his eyes are smart and deep, and he looks much younger than his actual age.
He only has the shape of an ordinary person, with a fair face and a calm and introverted temperament.
He walked out of the house and came to the courtyard to look at Chang'an from afar.
He is Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian master, and he is only one step away from the mythical level of a true half-saint.
Looking back, he has come a long way in his life.
At that time, he dedicated the policy of governing the country to Liu Che, which promoted his Confucian practice and established his status.
But he still wanted to do something, for the country, for Confucianism, and for himself.
The Spring and Autumn Period of China was actually a real mythical era, with the trend of thought bursting out, and it was a great world where a hundred schools of thought contended. Lao Tzu, Confucius, Guiguzi, Zhuang Zhou, Legalists, Doctors, etc., which make China proud, are endless, innumerable.
These people and ideas that amazed later generations, traced back to their origins, all rushed to appear in that era.
Taoism, Confucianism, agriculture, ink and other schools contend, brilliant for thousands of years.
The later Confucianism was, to a certain extent, actually a regression of civilization and ideology.
Later generations often said that Confucianism ruled the country and leveled the world, and knew Confucianism but did not know Confucianism.
It's not that Confucianism is bad.
However, the Confucian system took itself as the core, and ran through the divine power, the monarchy, the patriarchal power, and the husband's power, forming an imperial theological system.
In the future, you will find that everything you do is actually in the service of the imperial power......
Dong Zhongshu is one of the main promoters and beneficiaries of this Confucian system.
Because of his respect for Confucianism and his advice on ethics, he was recognized by Emperor Wu and Confucian students all over the world, and achieved the status and practice of today's master.
But he still wanted to do something more, to climb to the supreme sub-sage realm of Confucianism, and even to the realm of saints.
So he spent ten years of hard work and once again asked his disciple Bai Yu to bring the military mansion Jian Jin to offer Emperor Wu.
If this move is successful, it will not only further consolidate the position of Confucianism and suppress the soldiers, but he Dong Zhongshu may also go further.
Every soldier who wants to enter the military palace and has a reputation for the ages will remember that the military system is defined, promoted, and invisibly generated by his master, and even the field of the military family will be harvested by him.
This kind of influence will be passed on with each of the famous generals who have settled in the military mansion.
Pulling soldiers to endorse Confucianism was one of Dong Zhongshu's means.
However, things seem to have changed.
Dong Zhongshu could feel that he had personally sacrificed and consumed Nuoda's hard work, and his breath was agitated.
Among them, the core of the qi machine can only occur when it is triggered by someone.
"The ...... of the world Someone can attract the core qi of the Bingfu Jian, and the Jianshu is based on the handscroll handed down by the Confucian sage, and it is integrated into the utensils and essence of the military book of Sun Wu and other military saints.
Someone can resonate with this gas machine...... It's Wei Qing, no, I've sent his name to the military mansion in advance......"
Dong Zhongshu looked at Chang'an from afar, thoughtful.

Changan.
In the courtyard of the front hall of Zhang Qian's mansion, Huo Qubing will step out of the door.
Bai Yu quickly caught up from the rear, pushed the power of Confucianism, and said with Tianxian in his mouth: "A soldier is not a thief, draw the ground as a prison!" ”
It means that you can leave and return the simple book, otherwise you don't want to leave.
He used Confucian practice, heaven and earth coordinated, and a force grew from the void, surrounding Huo Qubing in the middle from all directions.
The sharp edge in Huo Quai's body was vigorous, and a wisp of soldier's breath bloomed like a big gun, penetrating the obstacle in front of him in an instant.
"Confucianism is really good at showing off his tongue, and the disciple of Master Dong is good at cultivating."
Huo Qubing stepped out, and with a bang, the entire Zhang Qian's mansion was shaking, and the momentum was terrifying.
His figure seemed to shrink the void, and when he stepped out, he was ten zhang away, completely getting rid of Bai Yu's painting as a prison. The space seemed to have a quick movement on him, and a wisp of light smoke came to the door of the mansion: "Bowang Marquis has a banquet, and I won't do anything with you today." ”
Bai Yu's complexion changed again.
He has made his mark in the field of Confucianism.
In the practice of Confucianism, it is necessary to 'study hard' at the beginning, and to turn the 'sea of learning' into 'the mountain of books', and this threefold realm is divided into different small realms.
Confucianism does not cultivate the body, so there is no need to practice all the lower nine realms, and when you open the body, you can connect the qi of heaven and earth and show your supernatural powers, that is, you have stepped into the realm of heaven and man.
Bai Yu is young, and he has crossed the sea of learning and has become a real 'student'.
The most intuitive embodiment of Confucianism's supernatural power is to mobilize the power of heaven and earth with verbal criticism and writing.
What Bai Yu didn't expect was that he was the most difficult to practice in the early stage, and Huo Quai, a soldier who was full of obstacles, would be easily eliminated by him.
"I'll take this soldier's house back and take a look, and I'll pay you back later."
Huo Quzhi walked to the gate, and his voice sounded in the distance.
Bai Yu took out a simple piece from his cuff, but on it was written and sealed with a Confucian supernatural power.
This soldier's mansion was written and planned by Dong Zhongshu to be dedicated to the emperor, but what happened to Huo Qubing and took it away?
However, before Bai Yu could start the short film, he saw an attendant coming down from the frame at the door.
It was Dong Xu, the emperor's close attendant.
He saw Huo Quai, who was walking out, and said happily: "I went to the house to find Huo Shizhong, and I learned that Shizhong came to Bowanghou's Mansion, and he was really here." ”
"Your Majesty has entered the palace in the middle of the service."
Dong Xu said: "I personally received an edict from Your Majesty, and came to find Huo Shizhong, and by the way, I will carry out activities." ”
The two walked out of Zhang Qian's mansion as they spoke.
Bai Yu couldn't do anything in front of His Majesty's close attendants, and stood silently in place.
At this time, Zhang Qian and the others also came out of the main hall, and when they saw Huo Qubing and Dong Xu leaving together, they couldn't help but wonder: Your Majesty suddenly announced the edict, what happened?
Liu Xiang, Liu Xi, Gongsun Jingsheng, Yao Zhao, Zhuo Huai and others also said goodbye and left the house, but they were ready to go to Huo Qu's sick house together to join in the fun.
In Zhang Qian's mansion, only Liu Qian, Liu Ling and a few other people did not go out.
Liu Qian sat behind the low seat, and glanced at the direction where Huo Qubing left with a slight squint: "The soldier's mansion Jian taken out by Master Dong's disciple was taken away by Huo Quai, it seems to be a great thing?" ”
————
Huo Qubing followed Dong Xu all the way into the palace to meet Emperor Liu Che.
There was still some distance from the study, and Liu Che's laughter was heard.
When Huo Qu came in, he saw Liu Che wearing an imperial robe, sitting on the main seat, with broad shoulders and back, pressing on the desk with one hand, and a strong spirit to guide the country.
In front of him was a map of the territory of the Great Han.
Behind the low seats on the left and right sides of his head, Wei Qing and a thin and amiable old man sat respectively.
This old man's name is Zhang Ou, the word uncle, the youngest son of Zhang Shuo, the founder of the Han Dynasty ancestor Liu Bang, the founder of Anqiuhou Zhang.
Zhang Ou worked for the crown prince during the period of Emperor Wen, and by the time of Emperor Jing, he had been ranked in Jiuqing, and then Liu Che ascended the throne, and during the Yuan Shuo period, he replaced Han Anguo as the imperial historian.
The imperial envoy is ranked as the third prince, second to the prime minister, and is equivalent to the role of the chief prosecutor and the senior discipline inspection official.
Zhang Ou had retired from the position of imperial envoy at this time, but he still had the trust of Emperor Wu and often came to the palace to walk.
"The minister has seen Your Majesty!"
After Huo Quai's ceremony, he sat in King Kong behind the low seat, next to Wei Qing.
When the three people in the hall saw him come in, they did not speak, but their eyes fell on him.
Or Liu Che spoke first: "You went out of the city with nearly a thousand soldiers and horses three days ago and went to the southwest, what did you do before you came back for two days?" ”
Huo Quzhi said: "After leaving Chang'an, the minister passed all the way through Wudu County, went to the western border of our Han Dynasty, and commanded the troops to rush along the way for training. ”
In the Han Dynasty, the border of the western line was closer to Chang'an.
Liu Che smiled: "Rushing and rushing? I ask you, when you were running, but you led your troops to battle? ”
"Fighting, there must always be a target for the minister's attack, go out of Wudu County, go to the military camp of the border army on the western front to inquire, there are Di, Qiang and other foreign tribes relying on small groups of rangers to disturb the border. The minister led his troops to attack the two foreign rangers. Huo Quzhi responded.
The Di tribe is the tribe that came out of Fu Jian later, and it is one of the sources of turmoil in Wuhu Chaohua.
Liu Che laughed: "Why didn't you report your merit when you came back?" ”
"Raiding foreign rangers is a convenient way to train soldiers, and there are not many enemies to destroy, so it's not worth talking about." Huo went to the sick road.
"It's not worth saying, the two foreign rangers you broke up, according to the terrain and the convenience of coming and going, often have movements, and there are border villages that are unbearable, the border army will withdraw when they leave, and they will come when the border army retreats."
Liu Che said: "You have always been fast and brave in leading troops, and it is the nemesis of these rangers who have done a good job." The border army was on the table, and I didn't know until I sent it over. ”
"I deserve a reward for this matter, I know that you have always wanted to join the army to fight, so I will allow you to officially serve in the army, and first crown you as a ...... The position of Captain Yao. ”
Bi Yao is the meaning of urgency and speed, which is quite consistent with Huo Quai's way of leading the troops.
Lieutenant is a mid-to-high-ranking military position, second only to general.
Captain Bi Yao...... It's exactly the same, this title is about to go to war... Huo Qu was sick.
He vaguely remembered the battle of Dingxiangbei in history, which was probably April, but the early and middle period of the Western Han Dynasty in history used the October calendar, and this world was changed by the first emperor early, and it should probably happen in May and June.
It's early April.
