Chapter 214 Su Muxi meets the return of Yan, and the emperor pays homage to Wei Zhonghun
Xuanwu Field.
Since this place is backed by Mang Mountain and located on the sunny side, the snow that fell in the field in the previous two days has almost melted by now.
On the school grounds, Xia Houxuan of the Central Guards Corps patrolled the camp and called out some officers from time to time to question them individually.
He actually wanted to ask Su Mu some things directly and alone, but he was afraid that his chief, Sima Jun, would be suspicious of Su Mu, so he had no choice but to do so.
"Sima Sumu of the Tunqi Camp Army comes out!"
"The general is here!" the young Army Sima responded loudly and stepped in front of the Central Guards. After several years of training in the army, Sumu's momentum was as sharp as a sharp sword, heroic.
pressing.
"Su Mu, how many years have you been at the Forbidden Forces Qiaoqi Camp?" Xia Houxuan patted Su Mu on the shoulder.
"It has been almost two years, almost three years since I reported back to the general." Even though the two of them were familiar with each other, Su Mu still adhered to the soldier's code and called Xia Houxuan as the general.
"You are already in your twenties this year, and you are quite old." Xia Houxuan deliberately tried: "Do you want me to help you make the decision and arrange a marriage for you?"
When Su Mu heard this, he was slightly startled. He said softly: "Thank you, General, for your love. It's just that... the general already has a sweetheart, and he promised her that he will not marry anyone except her in this life, so the general will never marry anyone else."
Marry."
After hearing this, Xia Houxuan's anxious heart finally dropped. He finally confirmed: "Then, where is your sweetheart? Why don't you marry her?"
"General." Su Mu's eyes were slightly red: "She is from Yanzhou. When General Mo was promoted to Army Sima, he asked someone to go to Chenliu County to inquire about it. Only then did he know that she had moved to Wei County with her brother. Later... later Wei
There was an earthquake in the county, and the general lost all news about her..."
Xia Houxuan was able to confirm that the sweetheart Su Mu mentioned was Lu Yan. He nodded, patted Su Mu on the shoulder and said, "After the changing of the guard today, come outside Qingming Gate, and I will take you to see a
people."
Su Mu was full of doubts and felt uneasy. He didn't know who Xia Houxuan was bringing him to see. Could it be...
————
Night falls.
Outside Qingming Gate, by the Yangqu River.
After Sumu changed his guard, he came here early.
"Su Lang..."
A familiar, soft call seemed to come from behind.
Su Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly looked back, seeing that familiar figure slowly approaching from a distance.
"Swallow!" Su Mu couldn't believe it. He was so happy that his eyes filled with tears. He immediately ran along the Yangqu River in the direction where the swallow came from.
"Yanzi, Su Mu promises you that he will never abandon you again..."
In the distance, Xia Houxuan looked at the two people who had gone through ups and downs and reunited after a long separation, but still remained determined, and smiled happily.
Three days later, under the auspices of Xia Houxuan and his wife, and Lu Zhongxiong, Su Mu and Lu Yan held a lively wedding in Luoyang City.
————————
In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve again.
After the family banquet at the General's Mansion, Anxiang Marquis Cao Xi and his wife Wei Yuan returned to the courtyard where they lived.
"Good day, please call me daddy..." Cao Xi was holding his little daughter who had just turned one year old with a smile on his face.
"Shu'er is still young and can't speak yet." Wei Yuan smiled and took the child and began to coax her to sleep.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Cao Xi opened the door and saw that it was the steward of the West Courtyard.
"What's going on?" Cao Xi asked.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fu Gu, the servant of Huangmen, is here to visit."
"Lan Shi..." Cao Xi couldn't help but be stunned. Ever since Fu Lanshi joined Sima's family, he had not interacted with himself or Tai Chu for many years.
"Please."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded and went out.
After Wei Yuan asked his servants to arrange the charcoal fire for the tea stove, he carried the child to the inner hall.
In the hall, two former friends who had not interacted with each other for many years were speechless for a moment.
After a while, Cao Xi finally said, "Lan Shi, how have you been these past few years?"
"It is said that the Huangmen Minister is difficult to be selected if he is not a nobleman, and he has a bright future. I think he is pretty good."
Cao Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.
"Uncle Zhao, I have something to warn you."
Fu Gu gently put down the tea cup, looked at Cao Xi, and said:
"Now the general is in charge of the government, with He Yan and others as important ministers, ears, eyes and claws. However, in my opinion, He Yan and others appear calm and innocent on the outside, but they are sinister and dark in their hearts and are greedy for personal gain. If the general continues to let things go, one day,
You brothers will be deceived by them, and then the benevolent and wise men inside and outside the government will alienate you, and the government will decline day by day because of this! Uncle Zhao, I hope you can carefully consider what I say."
After hearing these words, Cao Xi couldn't help frowning and said: "Lan Shi, you and I finally got together today, so don't talk about these disturbing things and talk about something else."
Fu Gu smiled, nodded and said, "That's fine."
In the hall, the fire is raging.
Outside the house, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
After Fu Gu left, Cao Xi thought about it and finally decided to tell his elder brother what he said and let him decide whether He Yan and others could continue to be reused.
Cao Shuang just smiled after hearing his second brother's sincere words. Regarding this matter, he did not reply with any unnecessary words. Instead, he asked abruptly:
"Third brother, I wonder if the Analects of Confucius compiled by you, Prince Consort He and others can be completed?"
Cao Xi was a little stunned for a moment after hearing this irrelevant question.
Cao Shuang saw this and explained with a smile:
"In the twinkling of an eye, it is almost your twelfth birthday. According to the royal family's practice, it is time for your majesty to hold a coronation ceremony and establish a queen."
After hearing this, Cao Xi immediately realized:
"Brother, do you want to contribute this book to His Majesty's coronation ceremony to congratulate His Majesty?"
Cao Shuang smiled and replied:
"Of course!"
Cao Xi also smiled and said:
"In the past few years, I, Prince Consort He, Shizhong Sun, Shilang Xun, and other five people have worked hard at night, eaten late at night, and slept hard at night. This book has been completed. In the past few days, Prince Consort He and I will discuss a few more improvements before it can be completed.
"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang patted his third brother on the shoulder, expressing his deepest approval.

He Yan was currently in the study, holding a candle around the stove with Cao Xi, who had just visited. The two of them were having a drink while discussing the difficult points in the Analects of Confucius.
He Yan took off his clothes and belt, raised his wine and asked with a smile:
"Uncle Zhao, there is a saying in "The Analects of Confucius·Yongye": The benevolent Leshan, I wonder how you interpret it?"
Cao Xi thought for a moment, raised his glass and said with a smile:
"A benevolent person is as happy as a mountain that is stable and stable. Naturally it does not move and all things come into being. I wonder what the prince consort thinks?"
He Yan heard this, after thinking for a while, he put his palms in his hands and laughed and said:
"Wonderful, wonderful! This argument should be brought to light!"
The two drank from each other, looked at each other and laughed.
Cao Xi's sentence connects the Confucian theory of the benevolent man Leshan with the Taoist metaphysics theory of natural inaction, which is extremely brilliant. No wonder He Yan was so happy to praise it.
Not long after, Sun Yong, the Marquis of Guan Nei, Guanglu's doctor, Zheng Chong, the general in charge, and Xun Yi, the Marquis of Guan Nei, the cavalry commander, also came to He Yan's house. Several people searched for chapters and excerpts, and in half a day's work, they found out the flaws in the book.
Every detail has been supplemented and improved.
Cao Xi was looking at the bamboo slips in the room with unconcealable excitement in his eyes. Over the past few years, the five of them have extensively selected Kong Anguo, Bao Xian, Zhou Shi, Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan, Chen Qun, Wang Su, etc.
Zhou Shenglie and other modern great Confucian scholars worked closely on the interpretation of "The Analects of Confucius", and today they are finally completed, completing this immortal chapter that can be passed down to future generations.
The five people were extremely happy at this moment, and they all put aside the barriers of party and political opinions, and drank together to celebrate that all the hard work over the years had not been in vain.
Although Cao Xi did not directly tell He Yan what Fu Gu said at the banquet, these words soon reached He Yan's ears.
He Yan was naturally very angry, so he became even more at odds with Fu Gu. Soon after, Fu Gu was dismissed from his official position in the court due to trivial matters, and was promoted to the post of Xingyang Prefect. However, before Fu Gu took office, he was invited by Sima Yi to serve as the Taifu Mansion.
Engage in Zhonglang.

In the first month of spring in the fourth year of Zhengshi, the city of Luoyang, which had been free from war for many years, seemed particularly full of vitality.
This year, Emperor Cao Fang has turned twelve years old. Therefore, under the arrangement of Cao Shuang and Zong Zheng, the crowning ceremony of the emperor was held in accordance with royal practice.
After the crowning ceremony, Cao Xi, led by He Yan and Cao Shuang, formally presented to the emperor the "Analects of Confucius" that they had painstakingly completed. The emperor who loved Confucianism was naturally surprised when he saw this masterpiece, and he immediately opened it
I picked up the bamboo slips at the beginning and read on. Naturally, the beginning was the Analects of Confucius written jointly by He Yan, Cao Xi and others:
"The Analects of Confucius says: Liu Xiang, the Lieutenant of Hanzhong Base, spoke of twenty chapters of the Analects of Lu, all of which were recorded by the disciples of Confucius. The eldest son, the great master Xia Housheng, the former general Xiao Wangzhi, the prime minister Wei Xian, and Zi Xuancheng passed it on...
... Zhang Yu, the Marquis of Anchang, originally accepted Lu's theory and also taught Qi's theory. Those who were good followed it and called it Zhang Hou's theory, which is highly valued by the world. ... The ancient treatise was only taught by Dr. Kong Anguo, but it has not been passed down to the world. Zhi Shun
During the emperor's reign, Ma Rong, the governor of Nanjun, also gave lectures.
Zheng Xuan, the great minister of the late Han Dynasty, made annotations on Lu Lun chapters from Qi and ancient times. In recent times, Sikong Chenqun, Dachang Wangsu, and Dr. Zhou Shenglie all wrote the meanings. Although there are similarities and differences in the teachings of teachers in previous generations, they are not meant for explanation.
In the middle, there are explanations for it. As for today, there are many different views, and each has its own gains and losses. This collection of experts has recorded their names. If there are any concerns, it has been changed, and it is called "The Analects of Confucius".
Sun Yong, the official of Guanglu, the marquis of Guannei, Zheng Chong, the official of Guanglu, Cao Xi, the marquis of Anxiangting, the leader of the Sanqi Changshi, Xun Kai, the minister of the imperial court, and He Yan, the marquis of Guannei, the prince-in-law of Shangshu, and others."
In this way, the emperor finally read this masterpiece for several months without letting go of the scroll.
Half a year later, on Yimao Day in the summer, it was the emperor's wedding day. Cao Fang established the Queen Zhen family and granted amnesty to the world.
Watching the emperor grow older, more knowledgeable and more prestigious, Xia Houxuan, as a master, was naturally very pleased to see the emperor grow up.
However, seeing the emperor becoming more sober day by day, Sima Yi felt uncomfortable in his heart.
After the emperor's wedding, he immediately led all the civil and military officials to the Ancestral Temple, and specially issued an edict to worship the twenty great heroes who had passed away:
Therefore, Grand Sima Cao Zhen, Grand Sima Cao Xiu, Southern General Xia Houshang, Taichang Huanjie, Sikong Chenqun, Taifu Zhongyao, Chariot General Zhang He, Left General Xu Huang, Former General Zhang Liao, Right General Le Jin, Taiwei Hua Xin
, Situ Wanglang, General Cao Hong of Hussars, General Xia Houyuan of the Western Expedition, General Zhu Ling of the rear, General Wenpin of the rear, Zang Ba of Jin Wu, General Li Dian of the enemy, General Pound of Liyi, and Lieutenant Dianwei of Wu Meng.
Cao Fang enshrined the spirits of these heroes in the temple of Emperor Taizu Wu. This was naturally the greatest encouragement and comfort to the loyal people in the government and the public.
The twelve-year-old emperor looked up to the previous emperors and ancestors.
He silently congratulated in his heart: "Great-grandfather, grandfather, father-in-law, all ancestors and ancestors, I hope you can bless Lan Qing, bless my country and the great Wei Dynasty forever, and the heaven and earth will last forever!"
