Chapter 157 Jiangling Jinsu and Liu Zhang fulfill their contract
After Mi Yang took out the booklet from under the pillow, he took it out and took a look and found that the booklet in his hand should have been newly bound.
The cover of this booklet has the four characters "Record of Zhengtang" written in large characters.
Fazheng looked at the "Records of Zhengtang" in Mi Yang's hand, and said to Mi Yang: "I started writing this book after my teacher relapsed in Chengdu."
"Fortunately, I finally finished writing this book before I fell ill and couldn't write."
"This book records what I have learned throughout my life as a teacher and is divided into five volumes."
"The first volume examines people and appoints talents, the second volume is about the strategy of overlords, the third volume teaches the generals' style, the fourth volume is about the national policy, and the fifth volume is about the political system."
"Some of these you have already learned, and some of them I originally wanted to teach you when you return to Chengdu."
"But now that I think about it, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to teach you as a teacher."
"This is the hard work of my life as a teacher, and it is also the pride of my life. I can die, but my knowledge and talent cannot disappear because of my death."
"After I leave, I hope you will study this book carefully and carry forward my knowledge."
Mi Yang was very moved when he heard that Fa Zheng taught him such an important thing.
On the one hand, he was moved by Fa Zheng's regard for him and was willing to pass on his lifelong efforts to him.
On the one hand, he was touched by Fazheng's selflessness to him. After all, Fazheng still had a son, but Fazheng passed this book on to him.
Mi Yang held the book tightly in his hand, put it into his arms, and then promised Fa Zheng: "Teacher, don't worry, Yang will live up to his high expectations."
"In the next hundred years of history, my mentor's legacy will be remembered forever with him."
Hearing what Mi Yang said, a smile appeared on Fazheng's face. Then he looked at Liu Bei and said, "My son is mediocre, but I hope you will be kind to me."
Faced with Fazheng's request, Liu Bei agreed with tears.
After finishing everything, Fazheng asked Mi Yang to help him up from the couch.
When Liu Bei saw this, he wanted to stop him, but Fazheng smiled and said: "The king will regain the Han Dynasty in the future. As the king's assistant, I want to come and leave my name in history."
"I don't want it to be recorded in history that I died on the couch."
After finishing speaking, Fa Zheng was helped up from the couch by Mi Yang, and he came to the window sill.
Just these few steps seemed to have exhausted all Fa Zheng's energy.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bei's face became anxious, and he hurried to the outer hall of the dormitory.
He spread out a white silk book on the desk in the outer hall and began to write something on it.
"The law is good and the plan is good. It predicts the rise and fall of the world. It is entrusted to the Han Dynasty for training and consultation. It is time to think about the economic calculation and know the opportunity when it happens."
"Since he took office, he has used dazzling techniques in his official duties, which is contrary to the noble ethos. It is unethical for Guo Wei."
...
When Liu Bei was writing his imperial edict in his own hand, Fazheng was leaning on Mi Yang's shoulder. He was already very angry, but looking at the scenery outside the window, his mood became extremely good.
Spring has just arrived. In the courtyard outside the window, there is a pond, and many willow trees are planted on the edge of the pond.
The willow tree, which looked like an old man in winter, seemed to be rejuvenated in the early spring weather.
Judging from Fazheng's gaze, the willow tree has regrown slender branches. Although there are not many now, in the near future, these buds representing freshness and vitality will surely cover the entire tree.
Seeing this scene, Fazheng said to Mi Yang: "Time passes, one year after another."
"When I was young, I once climbed up the mountains of Guanzhong and looked at the vast land. At that time, I made up my mind to leave my name in these beautiful mountains and rivers."
"Fortunately, God has pity on me. Although I have been wandering for half my life, I can finally meet the enlightened master and his disciples, realize my ambitions, and pass on what I have learned throughout my life. My wish is enough."
"All Wangtu's hegemony cannot withstand the invasion of time. The only thing that remains unchanged is the talent coming out from generation to generation."
"But in life, there are worries."
"When I traveled to Guanzhong, I discovered that the people outside the Great Wall were taking advantage of the civil war in China to recuperate and prepare for action."
"Now that our power in China is strong, they will bow down to us, but the aliens outside the Great Wall are all ambitious and their desires are hard to satisfy."
"After all the people of my generation have passed away, the important responsibility of protecting China will fall on your generation."
"Because of your military exploits and your status as a relative, your achievements in the future will be limitless."
"The prince is benevolent and weak, and has no means as a hero."
"Zisheng, you must remember that people who are not from my race will have different hearts. When it comes to foreigners outside the Great Wall, don't lower your guard just because they are temporarily low-key."
"You have to guard against them all your life. When necessary, plow the court and sweep away holes to clear away the troubles in the Central Plains for future generations!"
"The second volume of my book records how to deal with foreigners. You should study more."
"Even if China cannot be unified in the future, China cannot be invaded by foreign tribes from the north."
After hearing Fazheng's instructions, although Mi Yang's eyes were soaked with tears, he still nodded and said: "Disciple, remember it."
After making this point, Fazheng then said to Mi Yang: "The Sun family from Jiangdong, after the battle with the police, their vitality was severely damaged."
"But there are many Jiangdong aristocratic families and there are many talented people, so they should not be underestimated."
"Sun Quan has the miraculous qualities of Gou Jian, a man like him, who can be regarded as the most outstanding person in the world when it comes to protecting his country."
"Jianghan and Huaisi are key places in Jiangdong, but Jiangdong is also the heartland of Jianghan and Huaisi."
"Jianghan and Huaisi are not yet unified, so don't take advantage of Jiangdong. As long as Jiangxia is captured by our army, Jiangdong will not pose any threat to Jingzhou."
Fazheng became more energetic as he spoke, but his voice became weaker and weaker.
In fact, he is very tired now, but in order to ask Mi Yang, he is still holding on.
After Liu Bei learned about Mi Yang's victory over the police, he wrote to Fa Zheng to congratulate him.
According to the legal understanding of Liu Bei, although Liu Bei did not state it explicitly, the words in his letter already revealed his intention to train Mi Yang to be the leader of the next generation of ministers.
Because of this intention, Fazheng gave so many instructions to Mi Yang today.
At this time, Fazheng could hardly open his eyes, but he still mustered up his last strength and said to Mi Yang:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As for Zidu, he is talented, but he has no vision and is too selfish."
"If you know how to use such a person, if you use him well, he will become a big help to you."
"The Meng family in Guanzhong is as famous as the Fa family. It was I who suggested to the king that he be demoted to your subordinates."
"The reason why Ma Mengqi was defeated in Guanzhong was not only because he was not as smart as Cao Cao, but also because he sent troops without a name and was not popular among the gentry in Guanzhong."
"My Fa family is quite famous in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong Meng family is also famous in Guanzhong."
"If you enter Bingguanzhong in the future, as my disciple and with Mengda's support, I think you will gain the support of many Guanzhong gentry."
"I also advise your Majesty that if he proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will posthumously make your aunt, Mrs. Mi, his queen. At that time, your Mi clan will become the wife clan of your relatives."
"The prince's biological mother, Mrs. Gan, died young and no clan members were left. Mrs. Mi had the grace to save the prince, so your status can no longer be shaken."
When he heard that Fa Zheng was in a place he didn't know and had paved so many roads for him, Mi Yang's tears kept flowing down his eyes.
He could only listen silently to what Fazheng said today.
When he said the last word "move", Fa Zheng's breathing began to quicken.
When he was in Chengdu, the doctors advised him not to go out because of his illness, but he was worried that Liu Bei would make mistakes in his expedition, so he bravely came east step by step.
After Jiangling fell ill, while he was in coma, he vaguely heard the doctor saying that his body had reached the point where it had run out of oil.
He could hold on for so many days just because he wanted to see Liu Bei and Mi Yang before he died.
And when the words he said in his heart were about to be finished, the tone he was holding on to in his heart was quickly dissipating.
By the end, Fazheng's mind was getting more and more confused, and he felt so sleepy.
Fazheng used his last strength to look at his beloved disciple in front of him, and saw that Mi Yang's face was covered with tears.
Fazheng wanted to reach out and wipe away Mi Yang's tears, but his body could no longer squeeze out any strength.
Finally, Fazheng said the last words of his life in an inaudible voice.
"When Master Wang decides to go north to Guanzhong, remember to send him home."
After saying this, the ever-burning lamps in the bedroom seemed to be invaded by the wind blowing in from the window and went out one after another.
Fazheng also fell on Mi Yang's shoulders forever.
Feeling the teacher on his shoulders, Mi Yang finally collapsed completely and completely on his shoulders. Realizing that Fa Zheng had passed away, Mi Yang no longer suppressed the sadness in her heart and began to cry bitterly.
Liu Bei, who was in the outer chamber, had just finished writing the last sentence of the king's edict: With a clear view of reason, careful consideration of matters, and a temporary adviser, there is no one better than him.
Today, Fa Zheng is granted the title of Marquis of Huayang Pavilion, and enjoys the title of 800 households in the city.
But the moment Liu Bei stopped writing, he heard Mi Yang's cry.
Mi Yang's cry shocked Liu Bei. He inadvertently used force on his hand and broke the brush in his hand.
Dots of ink instantly imbued Liu Bei's imperial edict.
Then Liu Bei's tears also fell on the imperial edict drop by drop. The dense teardrops dispersed the ink on the imperial edict. After the ink dispersed, it seemed to form the word "wing" on the imperial edict.
On that day, Han Shang Shu Ling, Huayang Tinghou Fazheng died of illness in Jiangling.
On that day, the king ordered that the whole city of Jiangling be made plain.
...
In the deep mourning hall, Mi Yang, dressed in coarse linen clothes, knelt in front of Fa Zheng's coffin, keeping vigil for Fa Zheng.
According to etiquette, a wake should be done by the immediate family of the deceased.
But now that Fa Zheng's son Fa Miao is not in Jiangling, Mi Yang should be responsible for this matter.
Mi Yang, who was guarding the body for Dharma Zheng, had not eaten meat for many days. In the past few days, he had only eaten water and rice, so it didn't take long for Mi Yang to lose a lot of weight.
This made Mi Fang very distressed.
Mi Fang once persuaded Mi Yang to just show off, but Mi Yang refused.
Fazheng was as kind to him as a mountain, and loved him as much as a father and son. Moreover, the deceased was a big one, so how could he cheat on him during his elder's funeral?
On the first day when Fazheng was buried in the coffin, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, cried bitterly in front of Fazheng's coffin and almost fainted.
Although Liu Bei has not appeared in Fazheng's mourning hall in the past few days, according to Mi Fang, Liu Bei has been crying in tears these past few days and cannot see anything.
Mi Yang can also understand Liu Bei's reaction.
After all, Fazheng's death was equivalent to one of Liu Bei's arms being broken. Considering the friendship between Fazheng and Liu Bei, how could Liu Bei not feel heartbroken over Fazheng's passing?
In addition to Liu Bei, after hearing the sad news of Fazheng's death, all the important ministers currently in Jingzhou, as long as they could escape, would take the time to go to Jiangling City to express their condolences to Fazheng in person.
After hearing the news, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and even Zhang Fei sent their close relatives to Jiangling City to express their condolences to Fazheng.
As Fazheng who helped Liu Bei ascend to the throne of Hanzhong step by step, everyone admired him very much in the past, but when he passed away, everyone felt very sad.
But today, a person with a special status came to Fazheng's mourning hall.
This person is Liu Zhang.
As the former Yizhou shepherd and the original owner of Fazheng, Liu Zhang's arrival seemed reasonable but unexpected.
Because no matter what, from Liu Zhang's perspective, Fazheng and others were the ones who betrayed him.
Liu Zhang walked slowly into the mourning hall with heavy steps.
As soon as he entered the mourning hall, he saw Mi Yang, who was haggard and with red eyes, kneeling under the memorial tablet of Fazheng, putting sandalwood in the brazier in front of her.
The sandalwood crackled in the brazier, and the firelight reflected on Mi Yang's face, making Mi Yang stand out in the dark mourning hall.
After Liu Zhang finished paying homage to Fazheng's tablet and coffin, he went straight to Mi Yang and persuaded her: "The deceased is gone. Please show your condolences, general."
"Filial piety has a spirit in heaven, and it will know your filial piety."
Liu Zhang was dressed in black today. He came in front of Mi Yang and knelt down opposite him.
In the silent and deep mourning hall, the guards are all outside the hall. Currently, there are only two people in the hall, Mi Yang and Liu Zhang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mi Yang was deeply moved when he saw that Liu Zhang was able to ignore the past grudges and come to see Fazheng on his last journey.
As a member of Fazheng's family, Mi Yang bowed to Liu Zhang to express his gratitude.
"Mr. Liu is here today. If my mentor is alive in heaven, he will definitely be very happy."
Fa Zheng is not a perfect person, but he is not a villain either.
Forced by his ideals and in order to retaliate, Fa Zheng turned to Liu Bei. Fa Zheng has always felt guilty about this.
Now that Liu Zhang could put aside his past grudges and come to express his condolences for Fazheng, Mi Yang was very grateful to Liu Zhang.
Facing Mi Yang's thanks, Liu Zhang sighed.
"What happened in the past is in the past. The dead are the most important, so why should Zhang spend the rest of his life carrying past grudges?"
Mi Yang admired Liu Zhang's open-mindedness.
Maybe he is not a good master, but he is a good person.
At this time, Liu Zhang looked at Mi Yang and said: "Zhang came to the mansion today, firstly to express his condolences to Xiaozhi, and secondly to express gratitude for the kindness of Shenghuozi that day."
When Liu Zhang mentioned this matter, Mi Yang didn't take it seriously.
On that day, Mi Yang went north to Jiangling and brought a group of important prisoners and criminals to Jiangling.
After the Gaotai reward was awarded, Liu Bei intended to punish Liu Chan, who was a spy in Jiangdong.
But at that time, Mi Yang did not break his promise and interceded for Liu Chan in front of Liu Bei. Due to Mi Yang's plea, Liu Bei did not execute Liu Chan.
Mi Yang's move can be regarded as fulfilling his original promise.
"You and I have an agreement, and we will not make it if we don't keep it. Besides, if it's not Liu Gong, I can't ambush and kill the three Jiangdong generals. I'm just fulfilling the agreement."
Seeing Mi Yang mention the words "people cannot stand without faith", Liu Zhang nodded in agreement, and then he said:
"It is exactly what Zisheng said, and now is the time for me to fulfill my promise."
Hearing Liu Zhang's words, Mi Yang raised her head and looked at him.
