Chapter 240 Passing on skills from an acting teacher
Qin Qiong was a sick man and stayed in Sanyuan to recuperate.
Yuchi Gong was a reckless man and was kicked out of the capital by the emperor to serve as the governor of Xiangzhou.
Among the generals in the original Qin Palace, apart from these two, Hou Junji was also afraid of Cheng Yaojin, but Cheng Yaojin would also go to Shuzhong to be the governor of Luzhou in the next year.
Zhang Shigui was the general of Zuo Tunwei, who inspected the camps at the north gate, and Duan Zhixuan was the general of Zuo Xiaowei, but neither of them was as trusted by the emperor as him.
Hou Junji stood in front of the Wutou Gate of Yongkang Gong in Pingkangfang. He was very disdainful of the words Yongkang Gongfu. He was just a county official. He Hou Junji was the most popular upstart. Youwei Da
The general, the Duke of Lu, was granted the title of Thousand Households.
What qualifications does this old guy Li Jing have to teach him?
What's the use of knowing the art of war? Isn't he just a county magistrate? No matter how many battles he fights and wins, no matter how great his military exploits are, can they still be greater than those of serving the dragon and supporting him?
He is the emperor's cousin and confidant. Why should Li Jing compare with him?
After waiting for a long time, Li Jing did not come out to greet him. Hou Junji became more and more impatient. If there was no intention, he turned around and left. What the hell.
Li Jing's family may have been great before, but now it's a new dynasty.
Since returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing has been serving in the local government and has not yet entered the court, let alone become a general.
"If Mr. Yongkang feels unwell, I will come back another day." Hou Junji shouted to the door.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lu." The doorman of the Li family responded expressionlessly. The old man almost lost all his teeth, but he did not take the newly rich man seriously. He had been the doorman of the old Li family for decades.
Witnessed the rise and fall of the Li family.
Think about those days, how prosperous the Li family was. Although the representatives of the Guanlong generals were not one of the eight pillars, they were also top military nobles. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the ancestors of the Li family served as high-ranking officials. Only the Danyang Fang of the Li family in Longxi was a few
The name is enough to distinguish countless families, and this is one of Li Ding's houses in Longxi.
A nouveau riche like Hou Junji was considered a bird, and for the previous generations he was at most a governor.
Inside the mansion.
Li Jing knew that Hou Jun was waiting outside, but he deliberately ignored him. After waiting for an hour, Li Jing came out with Wu Huaiyu, Li Deyu, and Li Xiuxing.
"The Duke of Lu is here, and Li is far away to welcome you!"
Li Jing came out and stood on the steps with his hands crossed condescendingly.
Hou Junji was filled with anger, but he gritted his molars and managed to put on a smile. He stepped forward and crossed his hands in greeting, "Sanshui Hou Junji, by His Majesty's order, came here to learn the art of war from Yongkang Gong. Please don't ask me."
Too stupid."
Li Jing glanced at him a few times, taking in all his expressions.
"Since it is His Majesty's decree, I should obey the order, come and get tea, and I will accept a disciple here."
Li Jing did not invite Hou Junji to enter the house.
The servants of the Li family brought some reed mats and several cases.
A clear space was cleared directly under the steps in front of the house, mats were spread out, and refreshments were served.
Li Jing sat there.
"bring it on."
Hou Junji looked at this scene and gritted his back molars even more tightly, almost to pieces.
Li Jing is an old man.
With everyone watching, Hou Junji had no choice but to step forward and bow, offer tea and pay homage to his master.
Li Jing took the tea, took a sip, and the ceremony was completed.
Hou Junji just wanted to turn around and leave, but Li Jing put down the tea cup and said, "Shouyang Hou is the student that our teacher accepted yesterday. He is your senior brother and his direct disciple. You can only be regarded as a registered disciple now. Come on."
I offer tea to your senior brother. Your senior brother is extremely talented. You should ask him for advice more in the future.
Huaiyu passes on his skills as a teacher!"
Hou Junji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and turned to look at Wu Huaiyu, who was smiling at one side. He was young and had an extremely fair face.
I am a dignified general and have been granted the title of Duke of Lu. I want to offer tea to Wu Huaiyu, a pretty boy?
"Huaiyu is your senior brother. In the future, he will have to pass on his skills as a teacher. He can be considered as your half-master. Here's tea!" Li Jing said majestically.
Hou Junji gritted his teeth again, his back molars making a squeaking sound.
Taking the tea poured by Li Deyu, Hou Junji handed it to Wu Huaiyu, "Senior brother, drink tea!"
Wu Huaiyu took it, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile, "From now on, we will be in the same sect and take care of each other."
The apprenticeship ceremony was completed, a little hastily.
Li Jingrang took a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War and gave it to Hou Junji, "I'll give you half a month to copy this Sun Tzu's Art of War a hundred times and memorize it by heart. I want to check it after the Lantern Festival, so go ahead."
Hou Junji looked at Sun Tzu's Art of War and was stunned.
That's it?
"The saint asked me to learn the art of war from Duke Yongkang, not to memorize Sun Tzu's art of war, but to learn the art of war from Duke Yongkang."
"Do you doubt the method of teaching from master to disciple? Sun Tzu's Art of War is a holy book for military strategists. Read it and memorize it first, and then I will teach you slowly."
After saying that, Li Jing drove Hou Junji away unceremoniously.
When Hou Junji left, his lungs were about to explode and his face was red from holding back.
Li Jing took Huaiyu back to his home to continue studying the strategy of uniting with Silla to destroy Baekje first and then Goguryeo.
"Teacher, this has offended Hou Junji,"
"Someone did it intentionally." Li Jing laughed.
Huaiyu was a little confused, "Why is this?"
"Some things are very complicated." Li Jing just replied, and Huaiyu suddenly felt that maybe Li Jing didn't have low emotional intelligence, it was just that they thought about things at different levels, and they were not at the same level.
In the early Tang Dynasty, it was extraordinary to be able to go through two emperors, to be a general and to become a prime minister, and finally to survive and die well. Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Feng Deyi, and even Wei Zheng, Hou
Which Junji did it?
After staying at Li Jing's house for two days, Huaiyu felt drained by Li Jing.
However, I have indeed benefited a lot from these two days. Li Jing is worthy of being a military god. Although he has not worshiped as a general until now, his military experience in fighting against the Turks in the north and south of Lingxiaoxian Town is really awesome, especially
There is a very good theory. This is something that Qin Qiong, Cheng, Jin Fan Xing and other fierce generals will never be able to match.
When leaving, Li Jing even gave Huaiyu many of his notes on the art of war to take back and study hard.
When I got home, my eldest brother-in-law Ma Zhou and my sister Yu'e came to give New Year's gifts. They also pulled several carts of various New Year's gifts. Miyuan's second and third sisters also made an appointment to come with their husbands and children to give New Year's gifts. The family was particularly happy.
lively.
"Princess Yongkang moved to accept you as a student, and then the saint asked Hou Junji to go to Yongkang Duke's mansion to become his disciple. Duke Yongkang also deliberately ignored Hou Junji?"
In the corridor, the barbecue stove was set up again. Ma Zhou and Huai Yu were chatting while making skewers in a tacit understanding. Ma Zhou is still serving as the imperial censor. He is only under the rank of sixth grade, but he can walk in front of the imperial censor.
A true confidant of the emperor.
"Why do you think this is?"
"Yongkang Gong and Hou Junji are not the same people. Moreover, although Hou Junji went to become a disciple, it was not his intention. It is natural that Yongkang Gong does not like him," Ma Zhou reminded Huaiyu, "Hou Junji is extremely trusted by the saint.
He is your Majesty's distant cousin and a playmate since childhood. He has been by your Majesty's side for many years and is a close confidant. Now he is even more distinguished. Don't offend Hou Junji easily.
But I see that this person is a bit arrogant, and he may get into trouble sooner or later, so you should keep your distance."
Huaiyu couldn't help but admire Ma Zhou's words. He could see through Hou Junji at a glance.
"Brother-in-law, do you know that there is a rumor about you among the people now, saying that you were originally an immortal official in the Lingsu Palace of Huashan Mountain. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and the Tang Dynasty rose, Taishang Laojun sent you to earth to assist the new dynasty.
But I never thought that after you came to earth and reincarnated, you became obsessed with drinking. As a result, you couldn't remember anything about your previous life after drinking, and you ended up living in poverty.
One day the famous Taoist priest Yuan Tiangang met you and said that all the five spirits in your body had disappeared, leaving only a skin. Later, he told you to go west and you would meet a destined person who could guide you and enlighten you.
.”
This story is now widely circulated in Chang'an. The second half of the story is that Ma Zhou met Wu Huaiyu, a disciple of Louguan Yinxian Xiaoyaozi in Jingyang. Wu Huaiyu then recognized Ma Zhou's true identity, borrowed Taoist magic, and asked the Jinghe Dragon God in his dream to be his wife.
Ma Zhou reunited with the five gods and restored his memories of his previous life. From then on, Ma Zhou followed up on his achievements in Longyou and presented good strategies for governing the country to the saints. The emperor appreciated him and he rose to great heights, creating the legend of nine moves in one day.
In this story that is spreading more and more widely, Wu Huaiyu has become as famous a Taoist master as Yuan Tiangang. He can directly leave his body and invite the old dragon king of Jinghe to enlighten Ma Zhou.
Some people even made up the story based on this story that Wu Huaiyu's eldest sister Yu'e was originally a dragon girl in the Jinghe Dragon Palace, and was sent by the old Dragon King to help Ma Zhoute marry him.
Ma Zhou is now a legend and a role model in the hearts of countless poor scholars. Everyone wants to be Ma Zhou's second best. Who would not envy a poor scholar who can ascend to the Emperor's Palace?
Ma Zhou laughed heartily.
"Then you are more powerful. If there is a drought in Guanzhong in the future, can I ask you to talk to the Jinghe Dragon King again and borrow some rainwater?"
Huaiyu couldn't help but laugh.
"I wrote something for you. You can go back and read it. Maybe it will be helpful to you when you go to Yanzhou to be the governor in the next year." Ma Zhou prepared a lot of policy suggestions for Huaiyu after he took office in Yanzhou.
"Thank you very much. I will definitely read it carefully when I get back."
"I asked your Majesty to write the history of Yanzhou for you, but Your Majesty didn't agree." Ma Zhou said with some regret. He actually wanted to go to Shuofang with Huaiyu. "I already miss the time when we were in Longyou.
"
"There's nothing to miss. I almost can't come back. The only thing worth remembering is the short period of time in Yanjing Village, Zhang County."
The Baoyu and Meiyufang there are still making money for Huaiyu.
The skewers were grilling nicely, so Fatty Wu came uninvited and happened to catch up. As soon as he came in, he went straight to the grill and unceremoniously took over the skewers of mutton that Huai Yu had just grilled.
"Well, in the whole city of Chang'an, only the mutton kebabs grilled by Erlang have the best taste. Even the Sogdians and Turks in Husili, Xishi are not as good as this."
"Hurry up and serve these grilled skewers,"
They grilled skewers and drank wine in the courtyard, and the three brothers-in-law were very happy.
Song Wei, the second brother-in-law, took advantage of the joyful atmosphere and said, "Erlang, I heard that you are going to Shuofang Yanzhou to serve as governor in the next year. Please take me with you and your third brother-in-law. We are still small soldiers in the Forbidden Army, and we also want to go with Zheng
Shuofang can earn some military merit and find an official position."
Liu Wu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Erlang, please take us with you."
Runniang's second brother Chen Sheng actually said, "Erlang, I also want to go to Shuofang."
