Chapter 30: Xiahou Ying's personal disciples
The next day, Liu He, dressed in sackcloth, prepared to get into the same broken carriage, and sneaked out of the palace to see the evil slaves who had been punished by himself to do coolies.
However, this time, the person who drove for Liu He was not Yu Wuwu, but Dai Zong, the chief of the guard and the confidant.
As for Yu Wuwu, he is in the palace at the moment, scratching his ears and cheeks at the pile of problematic accounts, without four or five days, Yu Wuwu may not be able to step out of the gate of the palace for half a step.
Lang Zhong and the confessor are both Liu He's subordinates, but their personalities and characteristics are very different.
The biggest difference is that the Langzhong students have a stronger learning ability, but the confessors are more flexible and transparent in dealing with people.
Usually most of the time Yu Wuwu accompanied Liu He out of the palace secretly, from Liu He's intuitive feelings, and Yu Wuwu went out of the palace together can learn a lot of "sage philosophy".
Therefore, Liu He felt that he and Dai Zong should be able to enjoy different freedom and pleasure when they went out of the palace together.
As soon as Liu He got into the carriage, he found several kettles tied with twine of different colors in the corner of the carriage, which were heavy and full of water.
"Dai Qing, this trip, only you and the widow, why did you prepare three kettles?"
Dai Zong, who had just jumped into the car, glanced at the kettles and said in surprise: "The black twine is tied with clear water, the red twine is tied with plum wine, and the white twine is water with honey." ”
"The engineer is thirty miles away from the east of the city, and it takes more than half a day to come and go, and the subordinates make His Highness thirsty, so they put different drinking pulps."
"By the way, the straw mat in the carriage has also been replaced, and it is a lot softer, but I'm afraid it will be a little prickly, if His Royal Highness is not used to sitting, I will go and change a silk cotton cushion now, but then it will be more conspicuous."
Dai Zong, who was standing on the side of the carriage, said in great detail, which made Liu He breathe, how could the gap between people be so big.
Liu He went to the carriage and found that there was indeed a lot more grass under the linen, soft and elastic, much more comfortable than before.
He took the leather pot with the white twine tied again, unscrewed it and took a sip, the sweet smell of honey permeating his mouth, very pleasant.
Liu He shook his head and smacked his lips and said, "Dai Zong, you think things so thoughtfully, aren't you afraid that Yu Wuwu and their Lang Zhong will say that you are flattering?" ”
"Of course, the subordinates are not afraid of criticism from others, because what the subordinates are doing is right."
"The so-called flattery refers to excessively currying favor with superiors and doing unrighteous things for one's own selfish interests."
"And the duty of the subordinate is to take care of the living and living of the subordinates, and only when they take good care of them can they truly fulfill their duties."
"Since it is conscientious and loyal, it is naturally beyond reproach."
Although Dai Zong did not quote scriptures like Yu Wuwu, it was plain and straightforward, which made Liu He very comfortable to listen to.
"It would be nice if Yu Wuwu was here, you have to let him hear what you said, I will go out with him, and I will be lucky not to be hungry."
Liu He originally thought that Dai Zong would echo him, but he didn't expect him to shake his head and say: "The subordinates are wrong, Yu Langzhong's current duty is to admonish His Highness, and there will naturally be inconsiderate places in taking care of the diet and living of the subordinates, so they should not be blamed." ”
Liu He didn't expect to be refuted, and the hand holding the kettle didn't know whether to put it down or raise it for a while, although this Lang Zhong was different from the person in charge of it, but he was really surprisingly consistent in finding fault with himself.
In the end, Liu He had no choice but to laugh twice to relieve himself of the embarrassment.
"What is the relationship between Dai Qing and Yu Langzhong?"
"I am a world friend with Yu Langzhong, I have known each other since I was a child, he regards me as a brother, I regard him as a brother, although I don't talk much in the palace, but I am like a brother."
"In terms of knowledge, the subordinates are not as good as Yu Langzhong; When it comes to treating people, Yu Langzhong naturally does not follow the subordinates. ”
Liu He originally just wanted to find Dai Zong to "attack" Yu Wuwu's old-fashionedness, and the right to be the talking point of this journey, where did he think that he would kick the iron plate with one kick, it seems that he does not know enough about these subordinates.
"Then I'll live for myself, let's go."
"Your Highness knows that it is good to correct your mistakes."
After finishing speaking, Dai Zong jumped into the car and sat on the driving seat.
"The door is ready, and we are leaving."
Liu He didn't know why Dai Zong had to explain it at first, but when the carriage moved, he finally understood - this Dai Zong drove the car very fast.
Because I was going to the North City today, after coming out of the side gate on the west side of the palace, the carriage ran directly along the official road under the west wall.
Because Xicheng did not have the Lieutenant's Mansion, the County Temple, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were fewer pedestrians, so Dai Zong kept beating the old horse pulling the cart with the reins in his hand. And under this spur, the old horse also burst out with great strength, galloping quickly in the official road.
In Dai Zong's louder and louder "driving", the carriage was running faster and faster.
The road under the carriage is said to be an official road, but it is inevitable that there are potholes, and from time to time the wheels of the broken carriage will be bulleted.
This is bitter for Liu He, who was sitting in the carriage, and his butt didn't know how many times it bounced up and down, and the thatch of the new cushion couldn't play any role as a buffer at all.
This not only made Liu He begin to suspect Dai Zong's motive for preparing new thatch and drinking pulp, but this shaft was probably to atone for himself in advance.
Liu He shouted several times in the carriage, but Dai Zong drove forward as if he couldn't hear it, and Liu He's two hands could only hold the edge of the window respectively, struggling to support.
Even the carriage was showing signs of falling apart.
The two-mile-long section of the road was completed in less than half an hour, which was at least twice as fast as when Yu Wuwu was driving.
It wasn't until he entered the bustling northern city that Dai Zong slowed down.
Liu He, who was embarrassed, got out of the carriage a little annoyed, and sat down next to Dai Zong.
"How can you get out of the door, please sit in the car."
"Sit down? Dai Qing drove so violently just now, but he really had the demeanor of Xiahou Ying under Emperor Gaozu. ”
Xiahou Ying was the servant of Emperor Gaozu, with first-class driving skills and extremely brave combat.
Liu He originally wanted to knock Dai Zong, but he didn't expect the latter to take this as a compliment, and laughed heartily.
"How do you know that Xiahou Ying is a model I want to emulate, my greatest wish is to drive a chariot into battle, but now the chariot is no longer the backbone of the battle, otherwise I would rather not be this confessor, but be a chariot driver!"
Liu He wanted to reprimand Dai Zong, but seeing his excited face, he didn't want to say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder helplessly and said, "I take back what I just said, you and Na Yu Wuwu are really like-minded." ”
Seeing that Dai Zong was still puzzled, Liu He had no choice but to say again: "This broken carriage is not a chariot, and I am not a general, I was almost sent by you to see the first king in that chariot just now." ”
Dai Zong finally heard the reproach, and hurriedly apologized: "Forgive me, I forgot about you as soon as I got in the car, and I will ...... next time." ”
Liu He patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Then there won't be a next time." ”
"Yui."
The carriage became cautious in the flow of people and traffic, and Liu He had already made up his mind that in the future, he must let this Dai Zong go to the border county to hunt the Huns.
