At noon, Li Yu first combed his hair and washed his face, and then put on a brand new Taoist robe.
He straightened his clothes and prepared to go to the palace to study.
He hasn't been to the royal palace of Shu yet, but he has heard about it a long time ago.
There is an anecdote that has been circulating in the Six Dynasties. After Liu Bei became emperor, he asked Zhuge Liang to help him build a palace in Yizhou.
Liu Bei, who had been frugal for most of his life, also wanted to enjoy it once and asked Zhuge Liang to help him plan it.
As a result, after Zhuge Liang covered him, Liu Bei rushed to see it and was completely dumbfounded.
This so-called imperial palace is just a few plaques replaced on the original house.
Liu Bei was furious. Before he could get angry, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "It's just a palace."
It's just a palace. Six words immediately made Liu Bei reflect on himself.
Although they dare not call themselves Han directly, they always consider themselves to be the orthodox members of the Han Dynasty. How can they enjoy themselves in Yizhou?
One day, returning to Chang'an and living in the Weiyang Palace of our ancestors is what we should pursue, rather than building large-scale construction projects in Yizhou.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Yu waited for a while. After Zhuge Liang came out, he got into the car with him.
Although the Shu Kingdom considers itself to be the orthodox Han Dynasty, it has always been simple in etiquette. According to the old Han system, an official with 600 shi can be equipped with an official car and four attendants.
As the prime minister, Zhuge Liang's official carriage was only a single-coupled and two-wheeled carriage, with a wooden yoke connected to the front end of the straight shaft. There were horses on the left and right, and fist-sized copper bells were tied under the yoke.
The left side of the armrest used to block mud on the outside of the car is painted vermilion, the car has a black cloth roof, and there are mats inside the car. It looks ordinary and inconspicuous.
The groom shook the reins with both hands, and the horse started slowly and stopped in front of the palace gate.
Zhuge Liang took Li Yu and walked inside. Fortunately, the palace was very small, so we reached the East Palace within a few steps.
Passing through the Moon Gate, a majestic tower appears in front of you. Compared with the splendor of the Song Dynasty Palace, this place is quiet and has a majestic momentum.
There were several servants in the courtyard. When they saw Zhuge Liang coming in, they immediately stepped aside and bowed their hands in a salute.
"Where is the prince?"
"Reviewing my lessons."
Zhuge Liang nodded. Just as he was about to continue walking, a chamberlain came in behind him. Seeing Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up with joy, he said, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has urgently summoned the Prime Minister. He said he has something important to discuss with us."
Zhuge Liang frowned and said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty wants to recruit someone, it must be a big deal, so just wait here for me. Huang Hao, take the Taoist priest to the prince's study."
Li Yu nodded, and Zhuge Liang left in a hurry.
Li Yu looked around as he walked. Although this courtyard did not have splendid decorations, it was still very impressive.
The chamberlain next to him said: "This Taoist priest, please come with me."
Li Yu followed him, came to a house, opened the door and went in.
I saw several bookshelves lined up in the room, and there was a strong bookish atmosphere. On the desk, a young fat man sat upright, holding a book in his hand, reading very seriously.
Li Yu took a curious look, is this the famous Adou?
Although Adou is a bit chubby, he is different from those silly faces in later movies and TV dramas. When he loses weight, he should be a very handsome man.
It makes sense when you think about it. His father is Liu Bei, who is known as Long Zhang Fengzi, and his biological mother is Mrs. Gan. She is a real beauty, and she is as beautiful as jade.
With such a gene, can he grow abnormally?
Although he looked very serious, Li Yu could tell at a glance that this kid was fishing.
The sweat on his forehead betrayed him, and his eyes seemed serious, but in fact they were very empty. Li Yu was too familiar with this state...
He was showing off, mostly to show Zhuge.
After the door opened, there was no movement for a long time. Xiaopang took a sneak peek and found that it was not him, Prime Minister Zhuge.
Xiaopang raised his head, glanced behind him, and asked furtively: "You did it by yourself?"
Li Yu pointed to himself and asked: "You ask me?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "That's right, the Prime Minister was called away by His Majesty."
The little fat man was obviously Adou. When he heard that Zhuge Liang was gone, he was overjoyed. He stood up and clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"
Under Li Yu's gaze, Adou took out a box from under his desk.
Li Yu took a curious look. After opening the box, it was full of food.
Adou said as he stuffed it, "Prime Minister, he doesn't allow me to eat more."
He grabbed a piece of candied fruit and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I won't eat it."
Adou took a few bites and then carefully put away his treasure box. It seemed that he at least knew how to stop eating and didn't eat all the time.
After putting down the food box, he took out a pamphlet from somewhere.
Li Yu glanced at it and saw that it was a pornographic book with illustrations.
Is this the true and kind person Jiang Wei said?
It seems that Jiang Wei really didn't have much contact with Brother Adou. No wonder he treated him so badly in the later period. You are not close to the emperor.
"Why did you come to the palace? Do you want to do something?"
At least A Dou didn't have any airs and was quite kind to others. He asked Li Yu while reading some idle books.
Li Yu said: "I'm here to learn the formation with you."
"It turns out he is the new reading companion, where is Brother Bao?"
Li Yu explained: "I'm just here to learn the formation, not to accompany you."
"You are wearing a Taoist robe, do you know magic?"
This was simply a replica of the chubby classmate from his time who didn't like studying. Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes!" Li Yu flicked his finger, and a fireball appeared at his fingertips.
Adou clapped his hands and applauded, but before he could say anything, the eunuch next to him jumped at him. Li Yu nimbly dodged, and the eunuch was immediately thrown to the ground.
Although he fell awkwardly, he still shouted with great momentum.
"What are you going to do in front of the prince?"
Adou waved his hand, "Daban, he is just playing with me, don't make a fuss about it."
Huang Hao stared at Li Yu fiercely, "In front of His Highness, you are not allowed to use spells at will."
"Look, your chamberlain doesn't let me show it to you, it's not because I'm being stingy and doesn't want to show it to you."
Adou said with a smile: "He won't dare to do it now that the Prime Minister is here. My companion, please stop standing here and bring a chair for this little Taoist priest."
Huang Hao then went to move the chair. After Li Yu sat down, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
He looked at Adou and thought to himself, this boy is not bad in nature and is very kind to others.
If he were an ordinary person, he would be a kind and kind gentleman.
It's a pity that he was not born into an ordinary family. He was surrounded by a group of people with lofty ideals who fought for their ideals.
The ministers of the bodyguard are tireless at home, and the loyal people forget about themselves outside.
What they need is not a good man, Adou, but a successor who may not be very good in character, but is definitely capable, capable, and courageous.
