Li Yu was deeply shocked by Adou's words. This guy is really wise and foolish.
What he said was right. As the prince of Shu, he couldn't find any beautiful girl he wanted. Why did he have to marry a tigress? The key is that this tigress is too difficult to mess with.
When a girl from an ordinary family enters the palace, she will not be attentive to her, flatter her and enjoy the true royal treatment.
Although Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai are also very beautiful, they are too fierce. Adou himself does not have much ability, and he has been bullied since he was a child, and he can't stand up.
In fact, Zhang Xingcai was born with a graceful and elegant manner, and she had the bearing of a lady from a famous family. However, unfortunately, the sisters and Adou grew up together, and both had strong personalities. No wonder Adou was afraid of him.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. You may not know that I'm not a womanizer." Li Yu said in a low voice.
A Dou immediately cried and said to himself: "Who else is there? No, it's you!"
Li Yu's heart suddenly moved, this was the future emperor of Shu, a descendant of the Han Dynasty with upright roots.
He pretended to be in trouble and said: "You are pushing me into a pit of fire. Why don't you do to others what you don't want others to do to you? I have to make such a big sacrifice, there must be some benefit, and you can't let me suffer in vain."
"
Adou was overjoyed, "What benefits you want, it's not a matter of just a word, as long as I can do it."
Li Yu whispered: "Don't forget what you said today."
"What do you want to say today?" Zhuge Liang stepped in and asked curiously.
He was holding a roll of bamboo silk in his hand and was very neatly dressed. He must have just come from Liu Bei.
Li Yu quickly smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised me that he would live a good life and make progress so that he could help his parents take care of their worries."
Zhuge chuckled and unfolded the bamboo in his arms, with a Bagua picture printed on it.
"Today I will teach you the essence of the formation, the eight formation diagrams."
Li Yu suddenly became energetic and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.
He felt confident after hearing this, because he was not engaging in prostitution for nothing, but was doing his best to help the next generation of Shu.
Zhuge Liang's description of the Eight Formations was so insightful that it would have been difficult for the entire Six Dynasties to find anyone more proficient than him.
In order to adapt to Adou's level of understanding, he was obviously patient and started from the basics, which seemed a bit lengthy.
After finishing speaking, Li Yuruo had some enlightenment, and Adou could hardly open his eyes.
Seeing the different reactions of the two people, Zhuge Liang shook his head secretly in his heart, and became more determined to return the capital to Chang'an, unify the six dynasties, and then complete the great cause of the Han Dynasty in this generation.
After Zhuge Liang left, Adou couldn't bear it any longer. A heavy feeling of tiredness came over him. He nodded slowly and finally closed his eyelids.
Li Yu called him, but there was no response. He smiled and shook his head and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Xiao Huang in the cage cried towards Li Yu.
Li Yu turned his head, glanced at the birdcage, squinted and shook his head.
Huang Que'er calmed down and looked straight at him. Li Yu said with a smile: "The flat-haired beast is indeed the most ungrateful."
The golden thread on the oriole's forehead flashed for a moment, and then it began to comb its feathers.
Li Yu stepped out of the palace, and after a few steps, he was stopped by a group of people. These people were wearing armor, with two white feathers stuck next to their helmets.
Li Yugang was about to speak, and a majestic figure walked out from the crowd. His body was like a pavilion, his ocher robes were rustling, and his eyes showed a strong determination.
He was no more than thirty-five years old. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his muscles were like bronze. When he moved his brows, his eyebrows were as deep as engraved. He was long and broad-shouldered, with ape-like arms reaching his shoulders. He was majestic and even more delicate.
"I am Chen Dao, the commander of the Baiyi soldiers."
The White Soldiers are the elite of Liu Bei's army, led by Chen Dao, one of his most trusted generals, and are marked by white bird feathers and animal hair.
Most of these troops were composed of the old Danyang soldiers who had followed Liu Bei for the longest time, or their descendants.
He is powerful in battle, and his commander Chen Dao is even more impressive. He is as famous as Zhao Yun and has a very good reputation within the Shu Kingdom.
As soon as he appeared, Li Yu knew that it was Liu Bei who wanted to see him.
Sure enough, Chen Dao smiled and said: "This must be a serious Taoist priest. Your Majesty, he has admired the Taoist priest's name for a long time and sent me here to meet with the Taoist priest."
Li Yu waved his hand and said: "General, lead the way."
The imperial palace of Shu was not very big in total, and it soon became a relatively spacious palace.
Li Yu couldn't help but shook his head. Among the six founding emperors of the Six Dynasties, Cao Cao was the queen of the eunuchs, Sun Ce was the queen of the generals, Li Shimin was the queen of the wealthy family, and Zhao Kuangyin was the queen of the generals.
Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but he was born as a straw sandal seller. Of course, he is not the worst off. There is also a beggar.
But Liu Bei, who came from a very high background and had the second-to-last economic status, never enjoyed much happiness in his life.
Just looking at this palace, you can tell that the Kingdom of Shu is considered one of the Six Dynasties, and the majestic emperors lived here.
It's not even one-tenth as grand as Cai Jing's house.
Entering the temple, there was a man wearing casual clothes and reading a book.
Li Yu took a look and was secretly surprised. He thought Liu Bei was a kind-hearted person who smiled when he met others, like a kind old lady next door.
Who would have known that he turned out to be a very majestic person. Just by his appearance, he looked like a brave and heroic man, like the wind and the raging waves.
The arms are very long, but you can't reach your knees without bending down. The earlobes are very big, but they don't hang as far as the shoulders. Generally speaking, they are very normal.
When he saw Li Yu coming in, he put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "Is this a serious Taoist priest?"
"Taoist Li Yu has met His Majesty."
"You don't need to be polite, little Taoist priest. If you come, please give me a seat."
"I heard that the Taoist Master and the Prime Minister have a gentleman's agreement, and they want to teach some incompetent juniors in Shu Kingdom some skills?"
"It is true." Li Yu is not modest either. His strength is enough to preach to the younger generations of Shu.
Liu Bei called Li Yu here for a simple purpose. He wanted to personally test Li Yu's character.
Although Zhuge Liang has already investigated, this matter involves his descendants, so he must personally check it before he can rest assured, lest this person has evil intentions and the children are led astray by him.
Liu Bei asked with a smile: "Most of these children have never been killed in battle. They are not like us, who started from a young age and ended up today. I have always been worried that they will not be able to grow up and become talents. Taoist priest thinks that for them,
What’s most important?”
"Benevolence and righteousness." Li Yu blurted out, "With all due respect, the prince and the sons of princes, generals, and ministers were born in fine clothes and fine food, with servants like clouds. They have never suffered, they don't know the sufferings of the people, and they don't know the hardships of the people. Unless they are made pregnant.
Only with a heart of benevolence and righteousness can you love the people as much as your majesty."
These words struck Liu Bei's heart, and he continued to ask: "Then how should we teach them?"
"Your Majesty can give them a word of advice as a guideline for their conduct. No matter what they do in the future, they must first ask themselves whether it is consistent with these two words."
"Tell me and listen."
"Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small."
Liu Bei repeated it several times, clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, this is such a good word."
Liu Bei stood up and said with a smile: "Pass the decree and grant the title of Prince Shaobao to the Taoist priest Zhengjing. The Taoist priest is authorized to act conveniently in Yizhou. If necessary, all government offices must cooperate."
He stood up, held Li Yu's hand, patted it a few times and said, "I have been wandering for half my life, I am getting old, and I still have ambitions. If the little Taoist can help the dog and teach him to follow the right path, I will be very grateful."
Li Yu nodded and said: "The poor Taoist will do his best."
