Chapter 49 The Lord of the River

Facing the threat from Donghou, Chen Cheng didn't care at all. Although he was named Zhijinwu and could theoretically command all the troops in the imperial city, how could Zhang Zhong, Zhao Zhong and the others give up their power to others? Naturally, he was a

No one was sent to him.

He didn't take it seriously. He came to accompany the emperor every day during the day and went back to sleep at night. He originally wanted to do something for the people of the world, but after coming to Luoyang, he found that there was no way to start. He still knew a little about local things, and the court

I just don’t know anything about what’s going on in the hall. Even if I want to write an “Investigation Report on the Current Situation of Various Classes,” I don’t know how to start.

This Lao Shizi held Jinwu, and what he did was not interesting at all. It would be better to go back to Liaoxi for fun. At least, he still knows a little about how to rebel. Starting from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, to the Zhang Jiao brothers, and then to An Lushan and Shi Siming,

Huang Chao, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong... Sometimes he would think, with so many rebels written in history books, wouldn't he be afraid that everyone would learn from them?

In the Deyang Palace, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were not here today, only Duan Gui and Guo Sheng accompanied the emperor with some palace officials.

When Liu Hong heard Liu Xie's voice, he put down the writing brush in his hand and said with a smile: "Dong Hou, come here quickly and see what my father has written!"

He felt better today, so he asked someone to bring him pen and ink and wrote poems in the palace for a while.

Guo Sheng admired from the side: "Your Majesty's calligraphy is so powerful that it far surpasses that of the sages."

Liu Hong laughed. He also felt that his calligraphy was good. Even if it was not at the level of "far surpassing the sages", it was not much different.

Liu Xie ran over and said, "Father, what did you write?"

He scratched the edge of the table, looked at the paper spread on it, and read: "The autumn wind is blowing, white clouds are flying, the grass and trees are yellowing, and the wild geese are returning south. The orchids are beautiful and the chrysanthemums are fragrant. I can't forget to cherish a beautiful woman...

..."

Liu Hongdao: "Do you know what this is?"

"Well...it was written by my father!"

"Haha," Liu Hong said with a smile: "This was not written by me, but Emperor Wu's "Autumn Wind Ci"."

He went on to read: "...The floating boats come to the Fen River, and the waves are flowing across the middle. The flutes and drums are singing, and there is great joy and sadness, and how long will it take to be young and strong?

Nai Lao He!"

When he read the last part, Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion and chanted: "There is so much joy but so much sadness, so young and old!"

He is only thirty-four years old this year. Let alone future generations, even now, he can only be considered middle-aged. However, his body is getting worse day by day. Seeing that his time is running out, he will naturally say, "You will never be strong again."

Lao He" emotion.

Liu Hong was sad for a moment, knowing that his son could not understand the meaning of the poems now, so he cheered up and said, "Did Marquis Dong learn any poems recently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed and said: "It seems that I am really confused. Your Majesty is still so young and has not yet started to learn poetry. Unfortunately, I will not see that day."

When Liu Xie saw his father's expression of sadness, he felt sad for some reason. He hurriedly said: "I can also write poetry!"

Liu Hong listened to the great joy and said: "Dong Hou looks like me!"

Liu Xie boasted that he had traveled to Haikou, but could not come back. The anxious golden beans were spinning in his eyes. Liu Hong touched the top of his son's head and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't write it down. Just follow the teacher and study hard from now on."

Guo Sheng took the opportunity and said, "How about I send someone to call Cai Yilang?"

Liu Hong pondered: "Cai Yong? It is indeed wonderful, but..."

He shook his head and said: "Forget it, I will be tired by the time he comes here."

Liu Hong said: "Dong Hou can play by himself, and my father will write a few more words."

Liu Xie walked out of the palace glumly, tapping his little feet and stepping on the floor. When Chen Cheng saw him, he casually asked: "Dong Hou doesn't seem to be very happy!"

"Humph, what do you know?"

"Ha," Chen Cheng looked around and saw that there was no big shot nearby, so he smiled and said, "I dare to boast that there is no one who knows more than me in this world yet."

Of course Liu Xie didn't believe it and said disdainfully: "Bragging!"

"Hey, you still don't believe it?" Chen Cheng said: "I'm telling you, don't believe it yet. I know a lot of things that no one else in this world can do."

He flexed his fingers and said: "I can mechanically draw, type code, and edit videos...well, these are nothing special, and they are not of use now."

Liu Xie said gloomily: "No need to say anything? Can you write poetry?"

"Write poetry?" Chen Cheng whispered: "Ha, I'm not good at writing, but I can memorize it!"

"If you can recite it... that's fine," Liu Xie rolled his eyes and said, "You can recite a simple song for me."

"Then listen carefully," Chen Cheng cleared his throat and said, "The sun sets over the mountains and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to a higher level. How about it? Isn't it great? I'll tell you

Said, don't look at these simple sentences, they were written by Li Bai!"

"Is it written by Li Bai? Who is Li Bai?"

"Hey, anyway, as long as it's a good poem, I'll say it was written by Li Bai, or it was written by Du Fu."

Liu Xiedao: "Recite it to me again."

"Far above the Yellow River, among the white clouds, there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain..."

"Not this one!" Liu Xie said angrily: "If you do this again, then I won't play with you!"

"Don't worry, can't I carry it?"

Chen Cheng recited Wang Zhihuan's "Climbing the Stork Tower" again. Liu Xie remembered it this time, then ran into the hall and shouted: "I have a poem!"

The emperor stopped writing in his hand and said with a smile: "What kind of poem is it?"

Liu Xie put his hands behind his back and said: "The sun sets over the mountains, and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, go higher... higher..."

Liu Hong didn't take it seriously at first, just thinking it was a child's play, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became, and he didn't even notice that the ink got on his hands. Liu Xie memorized it until the end, and suddenly forgot the next few words.

I tried to "upgrade" there several times, but I just couldn't get up. I couldn't help but rush outside and said, "What are you going up to?"

Chen Cheng's voice came from outside, "Take it to the next level."

Liu Xie said "Oh" and said: "...Take it to the next level!"

Liu Hong silently recited the words he just heard in his mind. After a while, he was surprised to find that his hands were stained by ink. He put down the brush and said to the outside: "Zhi Jinwu, come in and talk!"

The small yellow gate on the side shouted loudly: "Your Majesty declares King Wu to enter the palace!"

Chen Cheng walked in, knelt down on one knee and said, "See your Majesty."

Liu Hong asked him to lie flat and asked, "Did you write that five-character poem just now?"

Liu Xie shouted from the side: "It was written by Li Bai."

Chen Cheng smiled and said: "I didn't write it."

Liu Hong pondered for a moment and asked: "You are from the Wei family, but you have some history with the Party members?"

Chen Cheng said: "I have heard the name of party members before, but it has nothing to do with them. I just heard someone read two lines of poetry."

After hearing him say that he had nothing to do with the party members, Liu Hong's complexion improved a little and said: "Oh, come and listen?"

Chen Cheng read slowly: "I stopped looking at Zhang Jian and waited for Du Gen."

Next to him, Guo Sheng and Duan Gui were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and cried out: "Your Majesty!"

As soon as the two of them knelt down, other Xiaohuangmen and palace maids also knelt down even though they didn't understand what happened.

Zhang Jian wrote a letter to impeach the eunuch Hou Lan and his family, which led to the disaster of the party, and thousands of people died. Today this matter has been revealed again, and there may be another great liquidation.

When he first heard Chen Cheng read the poem, Liu Hong's face turned very ugly, but after hearing him read it, he started laughing and said: "Zhi Jinwu is really ignorant, and Du Gen is not a party member.

"

Du Gen was born during the reign of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, fifty or sixty years ago. He was ordered to be executed by the Queen Mother because he wrote a letter asking the then Queen Mother to return to power. As a result, the executioner admired his character and let him go. Du Gan died

At that time, there was no such thing as party members.

"Hey, isn't Du Gen a party member?" Chen Cheng scratched his head and said in surprise: "I didn't know about that."

Liu Hong glanced at Guo Sheng and Duan Gui who was kneeling beside him, and said casually: "Everyone, get up."

He held Liu Xie's hand and said, "The two lines of the poem just now are good, but are there more to come?"

Chen Cheng said: "There are two more sentences at the end, which are: I will smile to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact."

"Go and keep the liver and gallbladder in Kunlun?" Liu Hong said with a smile: "What a courage! Could it be written by Li Bai too?"

He looked at Chen Cheng and said: "The military commander said that your martial arts are ten times better than his, but I haven't seen it yet. Now show me...and Marquis Dong what you are capable of."

Chen Cheng said: "I am not boasting, but there is no one who is not proficient in riding, footwork, and shooting. Which one would your Majesty want to see first?"

"In the army, generals should put their bows and crossbows first."

"good!"

A few people left the Deyang Hall. Liu Hong ordered people to get arrows, targets, bows and other objects. After Chen Cheng took them, he felt that he was just performing archery in this world. He pulled the bow string and saw Guo Shengzheng out of the corner of his eye.

Whispering something to a small yellow door.

But he didn't take it seriously. Even if a huge trap was created, he would just have to rely on his own skills to kill him. People with extraordinary martial arts are so confident!

The bow he brought was a three-stone strong bow. Only warriors in the army could draw it, but in Chen Cheng's eyes it was nothing. He opened the bow and shot arrows casually, and he had already picked up the arrow before it hit the target.

Another arrow in the quiver.

"Snapped!"

"Buzz!"

The sound of the arrow hitting the target and the vibration of the bowstring sounded almost at the same time. He took the arrow with his backhand, strung it with his forehand, and shot out all twenty arrows in the box in less than a minute. The whole movement was done smoothly and in one go.

Even those who can't shoot have to say hello when they see him.

All the arrows hit the bullseye sixty steps away. Chen Cheng didn't look at it and asked directly: "What else does your Majesty want to see?"

Liu Hong said with a smile: "Zhi Jinwu is such a master of shooting, so there is no need to look at other things."

While he was talking, Zhang Rang had already rushed over with several young Huangmen. When Liu Hong saw him, he stretched out his hand and said, "Chang Shi Zhang is here too."

When Zhang Rang came up to him, Liu Hong said: "Chen Qing has extraordinary martial arts skills and extraordinary loyalty and bravery. You will assist Dong Hou in the future."

Zhang Rang was shocked and said quickly: "Old slave, it's because Zhi Jinwu has just entered the palace, so..."

"Okay, I know everything." Liu Hong said: "I don't blame you, what are you worried about? Bao Hong is dead, is the post of military captain still vacant?"

Zhang Rang said: "There is no one available at the moment."

Liu Hongdao: "Then let He Miao be transferred to Xiyuanxia Military Academy Lieutenant, and the Yueqi in his hand will be transferred to Zhijinwu."

Although He Miao is He Jin's cousin, he has always been on good terms with Jian Shuo and others. Transferring him to the Xiyuan Army will obviously greatly strengthen Jian Shuo's control over the Xiyuan Army. Yue Qi is a member of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army.

One of them, allocated to Chen Cheng, can also weaken He Jin's military power. In this way, the comparison of strength between eunuchs and relatives will not be too great.

Although Liu Hong indulged in pleasure and extravagance, he was also smart and eager to learn when he was young. He wrote "Huang Xi Pian", "Zhu De Fu", "Ode to Ling Yi", etc., and once opened the Hongdu School. How could he not be a smart person?

?It’s just that his intelligence was obviously not used in the right place.

Zhang Rang was caught off guard by the emperor's arrangement. However, he could not think of a reason to object in his eagerness, so he could only agree with the emperor's wishes. Except for the Tang Dynasty, all eunuchs in history were dependent on the imperial power in order to dominate and prosper.

, losing the trust of the emperor was equivalent to death for the eunuchs, so Zhang Rang did not dare to oppose the emperor's decision.

Liu Hong then said to Chen Cheng: "In the future, when I am not on duty, I can come to the palace more often and teach Marquis Dong some bow and horse skills."

What can Chen Cheng say? Don't be obedient if you take advantage. You can only nod your head.
