Chapter 55: The Feast
In the city of Chengdu, there is a peaceful scene of singing and dancing, and the palace is even more lively.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Xian was already overwhelmed by alcohol, so he had to desperately stay sober and secretly pinched his thigh.
Liu Chan also seemed to be a little drunk, so he looked at Li Xian and said, "Han Xing, I really just went out of the city to pick you up, do you know what the hundred officials said?" ”
When Li Xian heard this, he sobered up even more, and the beads of sweat on his forehead fell in an instant, to be honest, if he said that the army was marching and fighting, after so many years, he could be regarded as having some experience, but once these political issues were involved, it was really a big head, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "The minister is stupid, I really don't know." ”
Liu Chan smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you and I are the kings and ministers, how can outsiders talk nonsense, in the past, Huo Qu was sick and chased the north to move the world, and now Han Xing killed Zhang He, the world is terrified, love Qing to me, how different is it from my Wei Huo?" ”
Li Xian was a little stunned for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi and others who were stunned in the audience, and hurriedly avoided the table and replied: "Your Majesty is loved, and the minister is terrified, and the reason why the minister can win Zhang He is that His Majesty Tianwei and the prime minister made a decision on the spot, and they never dared to be greedy for heaven's merits." ”
Liu Chan laughed when he heard this: "Hanxing will also brag and pat horses?" ”
Li Xian was silent for a while, only feeling dizzy and swollen, and for a while the wine had woken up for most of the time, and the beads of sweat kept flowing down, only to feel a chill in his back.
"That's it, Han Xing, my father has now recovered Liangzhou, and my Han has regained the land of two states, in your opinion, can I really rejuvenate the Han Dynasty? What kind of emperor am I in your eyes? Liu Chan's face was slightly drunk, and while asking Li Xian, he glanced at the hundreds of officials in the hall.
Li Xian seemed a little speechless for a while, but he swallowed his saliva, sorted out his thoughts, and replied: "Your Majesty, now Cao Sun is looking around, the two thieves have not been eliminated, with Your Majesty's heavenly prestige, as long as you can kiss the virtuous ministers and far villains, you will naturally be able to prosper the big man, as for Your Majesty's second question, the minister really does not dare to answer rashly." ”
Liu Chan seemed a little stubborn and said, "It's okay, I want you to say it." ”
Li Xian was a little helpless, so he had to stubbornly reply: "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch that is rare in the ages. ”
"Renjun?" When Liu Chan heard this, his eyes seemed to light up a little, "I am a benevolent monarch, what about Cao Rui and Sun Quan?" ”
"Your Majesty, Cao Rui and Sun Quan are all male lords, and they can be called Ming Jun."
Liu Chan was a little surprised and asked, "Is there a difference between Renjun and Mingjun?" ”
Li Xian replied: "Your Majesty, naturally there is, Your Majesty is generous and loving, within a few years, there is no prison, no strain, the people love, it can be called benevolence, there is the wind of Emperor Wen of the first dynasty, the sage cloud, if there is a king, it will be benevolent, Your Majesty will succeed the grand wish of the first emperor, Jiangshan Sheji is people-oriented, and it can naturally be called benevolence." ”
"What about Mingjun?" Liu Chan continued to ask.
"Those who are wise are responsible for guarding the land, and they can be enlightened." Li Xian replied.
Liu Chan thought for a while, and then laughed: "Okay, good, good benevolent gentleman, I'm a little tired, let's stop here today, Huang Hao, you can send you out of the palace." ”
"Yes!" After Huang Hao received the order, he immediately arranged the frame and returned it to their respective homes.
That night, Li Xian also returned to his long-lost home, and at night he roughly described the scene of his battle, how did he know, now the entire Yizhou scholars are spreading their own green face and fangs, three heads and six arms, and even said that he swallowed human flesh alive, so scared that some unaware Yizhou people couldn't even sleep in the middle of the night, but the only thing that was gratifying was that he could sleep soundly.
At noon on the second day, Li Xianfang opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and estimated that he should go to the master's mansion to worship today, so he hurriedly packed up his belongings and went to Zhao Yun's mansion.
Zhao Yun's house.
"Big brother, you are here, my brother and I are looking forward to your triumphant return to the dynasty every day." Zhao Guangyan said.
"Brother Guang, Brother Tong, it's Senior Brother who is late." Li Xian shook his head sadly, hugged the two little generals, and the three of them hid their faces and wept.
"Where is the master buried now?" Li Xian asked, also holding back his tears.
"My father is now buried in the east of the city, facing north, he said that the north is where he met the first emperor, and he must be facing there, he is afraid that he will not find the first emperor below, before he died, His Majesty asked him what he wanted, and his father didn't say anything, just pointed to Shimen Mountain outside Yong'an, and kept asking where the eldest brother was, and later learned that Shimen Mountain is the place where my father and my eldest brother met."
A generation of famous generals suddenly resigned, and he couldn't imagine that before he died, he thought that he was an unsuccessful apprentice, and Li Xian's heart ached inexplicably for a while.
"Two little generals, mourning, mourning." I couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry again.
"By the way, eldest brother, my father has something to do with you." Zhao Tongyi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly took out a long box from the back hall and handed it to Li Xian.
After Li Xian opened it, he saw a sword with a cold light penetrating the body, even if he could feel a burst of heroic air from afar, the luster of such a hundred steel forgings was not inferior to the luster of the improved steel, and the word silver hook was painted on the scabbard - "Qingyu"
What does that mean? This is General Zhao's sword, why don't the two little generals use it for themselves? ”
Zhao Guang waved his hand and said: "The sword is worthy of the hero, the eldest brother killed Zhang He, such a hero is worthy of such a sword, and we can't use it." ”
Zhao Tong also nodded and said, "But as the eldest brother said." ”
Li Xian looked at the box and there seemed to be a secret letter in the box, and quickly opened it to see, there were only a few lines on it: "The white-eared soldiers all ordered from the Qingyu Sword, and seeing the Qingyu Sword is like seeing General Zilong." ”
Li Xian was also a little puzzled for a while, that is to say, whether it was the white-eared soldiers in Chen Zhi's hands or the white-eared soldiers left in Chengdu by Zhao Yun himself, they only listened to the orders of the Qingyu Sword, is this what they said? So he looked at Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong.
Who knew that Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong seemed to have made an appointment for a while, and they all knelt down together: "Big brother!" We two brothers also want to kill thieves for the country, so please take us to the battlefield and belong to your department, right? ”
Li Xian was stunned and said: "The two little generals are invited to get up quickly, how can I make it, I promised the master that I must protect the two of you, how can I bring the two junior brothers to the battlefield and die for a lifetime?" ”
Zhao Guang replied: "The eldest husband should be returned as a horse leather shroud!" What's more, the eldest brother has won a hundred battles, and Lu Xun'er is definitely not the enemy of the general, eldest brother, just by your order, we are all willing to die, if you can't fight the thief, how can it be different from killing the two of us? ”
Zhao Tong also echoed: "That's it, big brother, take the two of us with you!" ”
Li Mingzhen really had a headache, so he had to reluctantly respond: "Okay! Then I will take you, but you must remember that you must be careful in everything, and you must not underestimate the enemy. ”
"Obey the general's orders!" The two of them looked a little excited for a while, and Li Xian's eyes began to moisten again for some reason.
"Do you have pen and paper?"
Zhao Guang understood, and immediately asked his subordinates to bring pen and paper, only to see Li Xian slowly write: "Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp." Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier. The horse-made Lu is fast, the bow is like a thunderbolt, but the king is the world, and he has won the name before and after his death, and it is pitiful and vain. ”
Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong's second general had some ink in his stomach, and for a time he was shocked by the work of heaven and man, and immediately let his subordinates frame it and put it next to the tomb of General Zhao Yun.
"Two junior brothers, I still need the help of the two of you in one matter." Li Xian said.
"Big brother, but it's okay to say."
"We are fighting against Dongwu, and there are no shortage of natural warships, so I think the construction of this building ship will be entrusted to the two of you." Li Xian said.
"What's so hard about that?" Zhao Guang agreed. Zhao Tong seemed to be a little hesitant and asked, "Brother, what is the size of this ship, how much does it cost, and what kind of mold should we build it in?" Do you need more migrant workers? ”
Li Xian said with a smile: "Brother Tong is thoughtful, the building ship I am talking about must be different from the building ship I usually say, this is the drawing." ”
The two took the drawings and examined them carefully, and were inexplicably surprised: "Such a building ship, I am afraid that it will cost more than one million taels to build, and it is about twice as large as an ordinary building ship." ”
Li Xian nodded: "That's true, please ask the two generals to write a letter, requesting the treasury to allocate 20 million taels of silver for the construction of ten building ships, and I will write with the two generals tomorrow." ”
When Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong heard this, they looked at each other, and they could only bite the bullet and respond to the errand, this 20 million taels is not a small number at all, but if Li Xian takes the lead, it must be able to take it down, but this time the treasury will bleed hemorrhage.
......
Let's say that after Li Xian finished arranging things here, he returned to his home and reunited with his parents to eat together, but he heard Li Jun say while eating: "Xian'er, tell you something for your father, you know that eggs can't be put in the same basket, right?" ”
"Of course you know."
"So my father chose a few daughters of the Yizhou clan for you, why don't you look at their family backgrounds and make a decision?"
When Li Xian heard this, he almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of rice: "Dad, are you okay?" The child itself is not dealing with these scholars in Yizhou. ”
"It's because you don't deal with it that you have to marry the daughter of the Yizhou clan, don't you understand? You are going to go to Yong'an after a while, where the Yizhou clan is entrenched, even if they make you stumble, if you marry the Yizhou clan, they will also be jealous, so that you can be invincible, understand? ”
"Dad, this matter should not be discussed later...."
"No! Tomorrow morning, give me an idea! Li Jun said with a serious face, "I haven't hugged my grandson in my fifties, don't be infamous for being unfilial!" ”
That night, Li Xian repeatedly looked at the list that his father stuffed into his hand, and indeed he didn't know anyone, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate to marry someone he had never met in person, but if he went to Yong'an, his parents and cousins were in Chengdu, and someone really made a stumbling block, how could he ensure the safety of his family? I was worried in my heart, so I got up and paced under the moon again.
