Is Liu Chan a qualified monarch?

The answer, of course, is no, at least in terms of ability alone. But as a member of the old Liu family, when it comes to gathering people's hearts, Liu Chan is still relatively talented.

For example, at this time, many officials were very moved by such a clever expression. Even Zhuge Liang had a little more smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's worthy of the old Liu family, you really have to give full marks for this skill!"

Ma Tan looked at Liu Chan and couldn't help muttering in his heart. This kind of emotional intelligence and the courage to win people's hearts cannot be achieved by many monarchs later.

If it weren't for the Three Kingdoms, this nickname would have to be given a benevolence.

After Liu Chan's speech, all the civil and military officials in the audience were quite touched. However, Liu Chan was not silent for too long, and then pulled a few close ministers to personally sing Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind" in the past

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying! Weijia is back in his hometown! Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet! ”

Why didn't he go to Ma Tan? Could it be that he doesn't want to? Ma Jian himself couldn't stay in Chang'an at all, and he went to Yizhou to take office within two months.

This banquet of civil and military officials is the largest dinner for Ji Han since the founding of the country.

…………

"Ziyi, everyone is about to jump on the table, why are you still in a daze here?" Just after being dragged by Ma Dai and others to fight a wave of wine, and finally drank all the people to the children's table, Ma Jian came back and saw that Qin Mi was still in his original position. The wine and food in its position have basically not been moved, and it looks very worried from the look.

Ma Jian also recalled this, and suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"At the beginning, you told me that the sooner the better, so that Qin has been studying at home. And now I haven't been in Chang'an for half a year, and I'm not familiar with life, where can I go to find a Confucian? ”

"Ziyi, how many sins have you suffered in the past two years?" Ma Tan was a little surprised, and directly asked Qin Mi with some doubts.

"But now ......" Ma Jian picked up the wine on the table and smiled at Qin Mi,

"You've been tired for so long, so let's take a break."

This wave of dinners can be regarded as a joy for both guests and hosts, whether it is in the palace or in the palace, officials regardless of rank, all join in this carnival. The dinner lasted until late at night, when everyone had gone out sideways.

The last time he saw him, this Shudi Confucian was still a very good old man. As a result, two years have passed, and Ma Tan, who runs on the battlefield every day, is still in good spirits, but this Confucian is a lot haggard.

It is worth mentioning that although Qin Mi is a great Confucian, he is limited to being a great Confucian in Shu. He is not a national Confucian model like Cai Yong, so many of the tasks that Ma Tan gave him Qin Mi completed very hard.

In the past two years, Qin Mi has been miserable and happy. While being tortured, he was happy that he could leave a name in history.

"Guilty? The old man didn't suffer! For the sake of these sins, the old man would rather live a few decades less! However, Ma Yan's proposal triggered Qin Mi's extremely fierce reaction, and he directly slapped the table and straightened up and said angrily.

…………

"You're really, there's something you can't tell me directly......"

"Didn't I say that before? If there is anything you can do directly, you can come directly to me, and I will deal with this matter for you in two days. ”

"Youchang, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about a little bit of work." After Qin Mi was interrupted by Ma Tan's thoughts, he glanced up at him and smiled perfunctorily.

"It's easy to say, where can I go to find someone?" Qin Mi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly.

But such an opportunity is the grand wish of a Confucian student's life, and it is not a dream to leave a name in history. So in the face of this opportunity, I can't calm down. ”

With Liu Chan's singing, the atmosphere of the banquet entered a climax. The civil ministers and military generals toasted to each other, and they were full of embarrassment. In a drinking feast, they sighed at each other's hardships over the years.

"Ahem...... Zi Yi is calm, His Majesty and the Prime Minister are still on it. ”

And because this matter itself was presided over by Ma Yan, Qin Mi did not ask Zhuge Liang to do anything. In the end, there was really no way, Qin Mi could only go up by himself.

"Do I need to reduce the burden on you, don't tire yourself to the ......"

The dinner party was almost all drunk, except for one person.

Regarding Qin Mi's embarrassment, Ma Jian also quickly understood. He couldn't laugh or cry at this, so he could only pat Qin Mi's shoulder and say,

"Ziyi doesn't need to fight so hard, why don't you find a few Guanzhong Confucians to compile annotations together. In the future, our Han will continue to recapture the Kanto region and unify the world, and if you are the only one who leaves your name, I am afraid that the wealthy families of the Kanto region will not recognize it. ”

"Are you in Chang'an? When I wanted to go to you, every time I got a response that you went out! It's okay that Ma Jian didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Qin Mi suddenly became furious, and angrily pointed at Ma Jian and said indignantly.

From the end of the Northern Expedition to the present, Ma Tanman has been in Chang'an for three months. Qin Mi is also a person who studies Confucianism, and he doesn't have a lot of time, so every time he goes to find Ma Tan, he can only eat behind closed doors.

Qin Mi's reaction attracted Ma Mi's attention, and he refocused his gaze on Qin Mi. It was only at this time that Ma Jian realized that he hadn't seen him for two years, and Qin Mi had changed greatly.

"Ziyi, you are angry, aren't I coming back now? I won't leave Chang'an during this time, and I promise to help you get things done. ”

This was the norm for scholars in the Han Dynasty during the rest of the bath, and most of the time it should be relaxed and enjoyable. But these Ji Han veterans have only now really breathed a sigh of relief, and they are not as stressed as they once were.

"I'll introduce you, and when I go with me tomorrow, I'll find a few famous people in Guanzhong to introduce to you." Ma Jian waved his hand directly and said to Qin Mi very simply.

Because Qin Mi suddenly became excited, several of the surrounding scholars who were drinking and chatting were startled. And Ma Jian also hurriedly grabbed Qin Mi, for fear that he would attract the prime minister over if he was excited.

…………

Looking back now, the task he gave Qin Mi at the beginning was too heavy. So many Confucian classics have to be annotated by Qin Mi, and they have to be stereotypedly printed, which is a workload that even young people can't bear, let alone an old man like Qin Mi.

Xu realized that he was a little too aggressive, and Qin Mi also calmed down. After sitting down again, Qin Mi showed a wry smile,

"To be honest, it's a bit too much work for me when you were young. I've been working on it for two and a half years now, and I still haven't finished commenting on many scriptures......"

On this day, Liu Chan also issued a special edict to cancel the overnight curfew to facilitate the smooth return of officials.

This dinner also greatly encouraged the confidence of the Han officials, and made great progress in rallying people's hearts.
