"Young boy Zhuge Liang cannot bear the title of friend of the public"
"Oh? Zhuge?" Liu Mo thought for a moment, led him all the way to the door, and asked with a smile: "There seems to be no minister named Zhuge in the court? How could you be sent here by the emperor?
?”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Liang doesn't know, your majesty is so kind as to allow me to come and learn from you."
"Hahaha, it seems that you are also from a poor family."
"Hui Gong, I was born in the Langya Zhuge family, and my uncle who was an official for several generations was the Huaiyang order." Zhuge Liang said a little embarrassed. He was worried that the other party would think he was showing off his family background. In fact, he just didn't want to deceive the minister opposite.
Since entering Luoyang, this person has been the most enthusiastic and kind to him, and he can feel the sense of oppression when facing the emperor.
Ministers such as Zhao Wen and Zhang He did not take him seriously. As for the students of Taixue, they did not mention him. He said sincerely: "Liang is not showing off, but he just doesn't want to hide the elders."
Liu Mo shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay. You can enter the academy at such an age. You are obviously a smart person. It seems that the people from Taixue are making things difficult for you. It's okay. I was also a junior in the past.
When I entered Taixue, the students looked down on me, so I came here to learn from you. I am different from you." Zhuge Liang heard the slight bitterness in the other person's words and did not ask any more questions.
Liu Mo continued: "I was originally from Dongyi, the king of Dongyi, and I joined the Han Dynasty and became a minister of the Han Dynasty. Do you know Dongyi? We are in the north of Sanhan, that is, in the north of Youzhou. There are many fish and fish in our area.
There are many, and there is also a kind of fish with dragon whiskers, which can be said to be magical!" When talking about Donghao, Liu Mo's eyes shone, he was a little excited, and he would not stop talking.
"Oh? Is there such a fish in the world? I wonder how long the dragon's beard is?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.
Liu Mo suddenly burst into tears. For many years, no one had ever asked him this, even as a young child. So, he danced and gestured and described it. The two of them were talking very harmoniously. The follower behind Zhuge Liang had a big expression on his face.
He changed, and further distanced himself, and soon arrived at the door of Menzixue. Seeing Liu Mo coming, the soldiers guarding the door had a headache.
Liu Mo came to Menzi School not just once or twice. He came again and again, making the entire Menzi School uneasy. Zheng Xuan personally ordered them not to allow Liu Mo to enter. However, no matter how they tried to prevent him, they could not persuade him, let alone
, this person is not Bai Shen, he is also a subordinate of Captain Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen is their immediate superior, what else do they dare to do?
Seeing him coming again, the two soldiers looked sad and didn't really know what to say.
Liu Mo frowned and said: "According to the emperor's order, I specially sent students to come to Menzi to study, and there are also letters to be delivered to Duke Zheng." After hearing his words, the soldier did not dare to stop him anymore.
With the emperor's order, how could they dare to stop it? As for whether Liu Mo was deceiving them, hey, a Donghao man dared to falsely pass on the imperial edict?
Liu Mo got his wish and entered Menzi School. He took Zhuge Liang and walked on the winding path. The students who came and went all avoided things. Zhuge Liang was frightened to see who he was. Why were everyone else like this?
Fearing him, Liu Mo finally took him to the study where Zheng Xuan was, and a servant immediately reported him. However, Zheng Xuan only saw Zhuge Liang and did not want to see Liu Mo.
Zhuge Liang bowed to Liu Mo and said goodbye.
Liu Mo smiled and whispered in his ear: "If someone bullies you, go find someone and call him Selika. He is from Kushan. If you tell me that you have an old relationship with me, he will naturally protect you."
"You", after saying that, he smiled and left.
He came here to see his good friend Serika. Now that his goal was achieved, he no longer had to stay here. Zhuge Liang then walked into the study. Zheng Xuan was reading when he saw him coming in.
After looking him up and down, he saw that he was very beautiful, then he nodded, squinted his eyes, and asked, "Did the emperor want you to come here?"
Zhuge Liang took out the emperor's letter from his body and handed it to Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan took it with both hands and read it carefully before sitting down again. Without saying anything, he asked his servant to take him to find sacrificial wine and make arrangements for Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang thanked him again and again before leaving.
, there are many students in the Menzi School, and their ages are also different. There are white-haired old men, and there are also high-ranking scholars, but he is the only one who is a young boy.
Zhuge Liang paid his respects one by one. However, these people in front of him were no different from the students of Imperial College. They were also extremely cold when facing him. The servant sent him to his residence and ignored him and left directly.
A sacrificial wine came, registered him, and then left. The two followers put the things they brought here, said goodbye to Zhuge Liang, and prepared to return to his hometown.
After they all left, Zhuge Liang felt a little lonely. However, he was not upset. He just looked forward to going to school with the others tomorrow. At night, his classmate came. This man was a young man in his prime.
Scholar, he had already heard that a classmate had arrived and settled in with him. He felt happy and hurriedly walked in from outside.
Taixue is a single-person residence, while Menzixue is a double or even six-person residence.
The man held a pot of wine and walked in happily. When he walked into the mansion, he saw a young child looking at him in confusion. There was no one else around. He frowned, a little confused.
Said: "Now that I am studying in this school, can I still take care of my children?" He looked at Zhuge Liang and asked curiously: "Where is your father?"
Zhuge Liang looked stunned and said slowly: "My father passed away ten years ago."
The man was startled and almost threw the wine bottle in his hand. He looked around in horror and fear. After thinking for a moment, he responded and asked, "Who did you come with?"
Only then did Zhuge Liang understand why the man asked his father. He originally thought that he was accompanying him. He stood up, walked in front of the man, bowed his hands and bowed: "I will follow the example of Zhuge Liang and pay homage to you!"
Hearing his words, the man's eyes widened. How could this guy enter the school at such a young age? After a moment, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sima Lang pays homage to you." He looked at the man in his hand.
He put the pot of wine on the desk helplessly and said nothing. He picked up the book and returned to his study. Seeing him leaving, Zhuge Liang continued to read his book.
As for the next day, Zhuge Liang also followed the others to school. Most of the wine sacrificers here were disciples and old friends recruited by Zheng Xuan. Their ability to treat classics was by no means trivial, and they would also teach them about agriculture, law and other matters.
However, the teachings were not much, and the main thing was to treat the classics. Zhuge Liang was fascinated by what he heard. Their level was many times higher than that of the official students.
However, he still could not find any students who were willing to pay attention to him. These people were very indifferent to him. Zhuge Liang also had his own arrogance in his heart and did not want to find others, so he immersed himself in his studies every day. In this,
On the contrary, the Kushan man came to see him. It seemed that Liu Mo told him and asked him to take care of him. This person was very different from Liu Mo.
He was taciturn and just asked Zhuge Liang if he could be of any help before leaving.
After he left, Sima Lang asked curiously: "Do you recognize him?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "When I came here earlier, it was Grand Lieutenant Commander Shi Liu Gong who brought me here."
"Jun Donghao?" Sima Lang asked, smiled and said: "In the future, you should have less contact with them. Their reputation in this school is not good."
Zhuge Liang did not answer, and Sima Lang said again: "Do you know why everyone is so cold towards you?"
Zhuge Liang put down the book in his hand, looked at him, and said, "It's just because of my age."
"No." Sima Lang shook his head and said: "People from the Menzi School are not students from the Imperial Academy. You are so talented and can be ranked with me at a young age. We are not angry at all. It's just that you didn't pass the examination.
Instead, you came to the disciples to study through the recommendation of noble people, which made everyone unhappy. What's more, I heard that you are from a noble family?"
Zhuge Liang couldn't explain clearly, and asked in confusion: "I heard that you are also from a noble family?"
"Hahaha" Sima Lang laughed and said: "I am the Sima family in Hanoi"
"Then why are you in Menzi School?"
"Don't say it, don't say it."
"The same goes for Liang."
Zhuge Liang replied. Sima Lang looked at him, smiled, and said: "I don't mean any harm. You are the same age as my second brother, maybe a few years older. Looking at you, it's like seeing my younger brother. He
Even if you are just like you, young, smart, and arrogant, I won’t give you much advice.”
After that, Sima Lang never spoke to him again. Zhuge Liang studied all day long. If he had any doubts, he would ask Jijiu. He was very eager to learn, and his studies were not far behind by these top-notch people. Jijiu and his students
They were different and liked him very much. Jijiu would even personally teach him his questions, which made the other students displeased with him.
There were many reasons why the students were angry with him. His age, his family background, his recommendation, and even his excellence all made the other students angry. After a few months, Zhuge Liang used the fastest time to
He lost his childishness and grew up quickly. He was taciturn and loved to read. He had many books in his school, which he often borrowed and read all night long.
However, Zheng Xuan still ignored him and did not know what the emperor's letter actually said.
"Boom, boom, boom"
A gentle knock on the door came in. Sima Lang covered his forehead helplessly. Zhuge Liang smiled and stepped forward to open the door. It was Liu Mo outside the door. Liu Mo smiled and walked in. Sima Lang then
Pretending to be asleep and ignoring him, Liu Mo walked in and started talking to Zhuge Liang. After chatting for a while, Sima Lang couldn't bear it anymore and coughed several times.
Liu Mo stood up and smiled awkwardly. Zhuge Liang walked out with him without saying anything.
In these days, Liu Mo often came to see him, and he didn't know how he got through the soldiers outside the door. He never explained this. He usually came to Zhuge Liang to talk about Dongyi's affairs, current major events, and his
During his studies, Zhuge Liang discovered that Liu Mo was a great talent. He had spent a lot of time in both Taixue and Menzixue. In terms of knowledge, Zhuge Liang had never seen anyone more powerful than him.
No matter what he talked about, Liu Mo could always pick up the conversation, even talking for several hours without stopping.
"What did you learn today?"
"In discussing politics, Jijiu asked us to find ten arguments against marching into Funan."
"Alas, the chaos in the court has spread to this place. Don't you know that in the temple today, ministers from the two sides are quarreling over the incident in Funan and Zhenla, and they often get into fights. Even I have been implicated. I am a small civil servant, and Zhang Gong takes me to the temple all day long to debate with the ministers. Have you finished writing it?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Never."
"Hey, people like Cao Cao have a good idea, but they are too young. Think about it." He wanted to speak, but quietly looked around and saw no one around, then continued: "Why is it different today?" Is the Holy Emperor so popular among the people? It’s not like these new ministers of the imperial sect. They just want to make meritorious deeds on their own, expand their territory, make the Emperor happy, and gain meritorious deeds.”
"But what? What benefit does this have to the people? The tax burden has not been reduced even a little bit, and there has never been any measure to love the people. They are just accumulating merit. This world is not among the merits of the princes and generals. It depends on the people. Only the people. The people are living a good life, and the emperor is a wise king. He blindly conquers, but does not take any care for the people. These ministers," Liu Mo said, shaking his head.
Zhuge Liang listened quietly without the slightest hint of impatience. His rapid improvement in studies these days had nothing to do with Liu Mo. Under the moonlight, the two of them were walking together, and Zhuge Liang suddenly asked: " Mr. Liu, I have something to do.”
"Oh? What's the matter? Who bullied you again? Don't be afraid, I have people from my tribe serving as soldiers under General Gongsun."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Liang and Mr. Liu have never met. I wonder why Mr. Liu loves him so much?"
Liu Mo was stunned, silent for a moment, and asked: "But it bothers you?"
"Never, I'm just curious"
Liu Mo grinned and said: "You are the only one in the world who is willing to listen to what I say. When I was the same age as you, I could only talk to myself and suffered for countless years." As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower. After coming down, he did not tell Zhuge Liang that Zhuge Liang looked very much like his younger brother, and his younger brother died tragically at the hands of the Goguryeo people.
He often saw his family at night. In his dreams, his family stared at him with eyes wide open. He clearly remembered the wild laughter of the Goguryeo people and the wailing of his younger brother.
Zhuge Liang looked at the man in front of him. Liu Mo was a coward by nature. He never dared to be an enemy to anyone. When Zhuge Liang was bullied for the first time, Liu Mo went to find that man, but it had no effect. The student beat him severely. After giving Liu Mo a beating, Liu Mo did not dare to resist, nor did he say anything. He just carried the injury and went to find Zhang Wen. The furious Taiwei almost slaughtered his disciples.
In order to appease the prince, Zheng Xuan expelled the student from the school. From then on, Zhuge Liang never suffered any violence.
This man talks a lot. Whether others listen or not, he always has countless words to tell others. Moreover, there is a kind of pain in his heart. Zhuge Liang doesn't know why he is like this. He just knows that every time he talks about his childhood, Or family members, Liu Mo's words were full of sadness and self-blame.
Zhuge Liang didn't think he was very annoying. After his father passed away, his uncle raised him. However, his uncle was busy with political affairs all day long. He had been alone since he was a child. His eldest brother and younger brother could not communicate with him normally, because , up to now, they have not even finished studying "The Analects of Confucius"
Liu Mo was by his side, giving him a father-like feeling. Liu Mo would accompany him, tell him everything in his heart, and even if he was timid, he would stand up to protect him.
"Liu Gong"
"Um?"
"When will you take me to see Dongli's fish with dragon whiskers?"
