When Liu De entered the palace, he saw the cheap man fully armed, wearing armor and holding a wooden sword, competing with Chao Cuo in martial arts.
The Han people were fond of martial arts. From the emperor to the common people, everyone competed to practice martial arts to strengthen their health.
At this time, it was not uncommon for a scholar to travel thousands of miles alone to tour the country. Later, in order to write "Historical Records", Sima Qian, the Taishi Order, traveled around the country, inspected almost all the places where famous battles and events took place, and asked questions one by one.
The memory of those events among the rural elders is that even a seemingly powerless scholar like Sima Xiangru was able to penetrate deep into the mountains of the southwest.
This is simply unimaginable to the literati of later generations who relied on their imagination to figure out the world situation!
Can you know the general trend of the world without leaving home?
"Haha..." Liu De complained in his heart: "Even the keyboard politicians of later generations would not dare to say this..."
While complaining, he stood obediently and watched the cheap daddy and Chao Cuo fighting back and forth.
About a quarter of an hour later, the cheap old man couldn't stand it any longer. He dropped the wooden sword in his hand and said: "Hey, I'm old and can't use the sword anymore. If only ten years ago, I would have made Aiqing lose all her strength in one hand."
OK!"
Ahem...
This is bragging...
In Liu De's memory, Cheap Daddy's martial arts skills were at the level of the Emperor's New Clothes.
But as a minister, how could Chao Cuo dare to behave differently? He could only say against his will: "Even now, I am far inferior to your Majesty..."
Then, Chao Cuo turned around and saluted Liu De: "Cao Cuo pays homage to His Highness..." His attitude was much better than at the beginning. At least, he no longer regarded Liu De as a passerby.
For Legalist ministers, it is a compulsory lesson to adapt to the wind. Not even a blind person can see Liu De's momentum now!
Therefore, Chao Cuo's change is not surprising.
Emperor Liu Qi saw Liu De, with a smile on his face and said: "Liu De, come and compete with Chao Cuo, let me see if your martial arts has improved?"
Liu De quickly nodded obediently and said: "I will obey my father's orders!"
The emperors of the old Liu family, starting from Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, had always harbored the dream of becoming a general.
Back then, when the King of Jibei had just raised his rebel flag, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen immediately went on a personal expedition and led an army of hundreds of thousands to wipe out the rebellious prince. This fulfilled his dream and proved to the world that he was Emperor Gao.
A truly good son inherits the best genes of Emperor Gao and is capable of both civil and military skills!
But Cheap Daddy did not have such a good opportunity. The development of the situation also made it impossible for the Han emperor to lead his troops to conquer everywhere.
Therefore, I can only settle for the next best thing, COS General in the palace, and rely on YY to satisfy my dream.
Although Liu De is a time traveler, in fact, he also has a fantasy in his heart that he can raise millions of soldiers to conquer Rome.
But after having past life experiences, he also understood his own weight.
YY is fine, but if you really want to put YY into practice, you are crazy!
But as a man, especially a prince of the Han family, what can he do without good martial arts?
Therefore, Liu De has practiced and learned swordsmanship in his two lives. Although his level is not very good, Liu De still likes to have such an opportunity to show off his strength.
So, with the help of the eunuchs, Liu De put on his armor, picked up his wooden sword, walked to the palace, bowed to Chao Cuo and said: "Young man Liu De, please ask Mr. Cuo for advice!"
Chao Cuo also responded quickly: "I don't dare!"
When it comes to sparring, Chao Cuo is considered an amateur.
Therefore, once the competition started, Liu De discovered that Chao Cuo would always withdraw his strength at the right time, retreat at the right time, and grasp the timing just right. At least on the surface, he was "on par" with Liu De.
And since I’m not an insider, I can’t feel it at all!
"Sure enough, he is a worthy scholar despite his great reputation!" Liu De felt that even with this skill, even if Chao Cuo was left to future generations, he would still be able to prosper in the dynasty.
This kind of ability to flatter the superior and the ability to grasp the scale is not something that can be cultivated casually!
Through the sword duel with Chao Cuo, Liu De realized that Chao Cuo was deliberately repairing the relationship with him, so he performed very hard.
Let the cheap dad watch with gusto...
Well, as 'excellent' as his martial arts is his appreciation ability.
Basically, Liu De's cheap dad's ability to appreciate and judge martial arts is similar to that of later pseudo-fans...
Just because he is the emperor, no one dares to expose his true identity.
Therefore, he always thought that he was awesome!
Liu De and Chao Cuo competed for about a quarter of an hour, and Liu De felt tired. After all, wearing dozens of kilograms of armor to fight with someone in a sword fight in May is a hard job in itself.
So he put down his wooden sword, cupped his hand and said: "My lord is so skilled, I'm willing to be inferior!"
Chao Cuo paused quickly and said: "I don't dare. Your Highness's skills are already very superb, but he just lacks practice. If you practice more, I will lose miserably!"
"The only one who believes in you is a ghost..." Liu De complained in his heart. You must know that Chao Cuo was a master who once beat Dou Ying in the morning, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. But on the surface, Liu De said very enthusiastically:
"Then from now on, the boy will often ask the wrong father for advice!"
Chao Cuo was stunned. How could he not hear the special gesture of kindness in Liu De's words? He said happily: "If your highness comes, I will sweep the bed to wait for you!"
Liu De also said, "Sure as you wish!"
But Liu De didn't really want to repair the relationship with Chao Cuo. He just wanted to take the opportunity to reveal something to Chao Cuo that Chao Cuo didn't know.
For example, the dog he raised has a will of its own...
However, the emperor on the side was very happy.
The fact that Liu Deneng had such a speculative conversation with Chao Cuo relieved some of his worries to a certain extent.
After all, there were rumors inside and outside the court that Liu De and Chao Cuo were at odds.
Now it seems that it is groundless!
He will never know that his son and close ministers each hid certain things from him...
Liu De took off his armor and found that his body was soaked with sweat. Fortunately, the eunuchs around him were very clever and immediately brought a towel to wipe his sweat.
"Liu De, I heard that the first session of your examination has been completed. How is the situation?" Taking advantage of the eunuch's opportunity to wipe the sweat from Liu De's body, Emperor Liu Qi asked.
"Back to Father, everything went well. I came to see Father this time to report this matter to Father..." So Liu De immediately made an important report on his results in the first test.
When the emperor Liu Qi heard about a small examination, he actually learned about the scholars' schools and their place of origin. He showed a smile on his face and praised: "Well done!"
"Where did you put the identity information of those scholars? Be sure to keep it safe!" Emperor Liu Qi warned: "In addition, ask someone to make a copy for me. Also, Liu De, the blank paper you made is very good.
Especially the paper used for changing clothes, the Queen Mother likes it very much, please make more and send them to Changle Palace, do you understand?"
"No!" Liu De agreed quickly.
The so-called changing of clothes is not a change of clothes, but the WC of later generations...
After the white paper production was on track, Liu De went to the workshop specially, picked out the best and softest ones, took them back to the palace, and used them as toilet paper. Therefore, toilet paper in later generations is naturally of various types.
It’s not enough, but compared to the toilet chips used in today’s toilets, it’s an era or two ahead!
Therefore, Liu De decisively used these white papers to flatter him.
