Liu Bei had already arrived in Luoyang, but no one came to greet him except Prince Liu Mastiff. Everyone regarded him as the reincarnation of Yang Qiu, and even as a cruel official who surpassed Yang Qiu. In addition, Liu Bei and
Many officials in the court had sworn feuds that could not be forgiven. For example, Huang Wan, who served as the ninth minister, Huang Zu, who served as minister, and the Kuai brothers who held official positions in Ningzhou.
and many local celebrities.
Liu Bei bloodbathed the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. This was not a powerful force, but a noble family. The family had never suffered such a blow. Even if it was banned by the party, only members of the same clan could not serve in official positions. How could you dare to say that they were killing them all?
Many of the sons of these aristocratic families had official status. These people would kneel down at the gate of the palace every day, crying to the emperor, demanding severe punishment for Liu Bei's atrocities. If the emperor's prestige was not at its peak, no one would dare to offend him, except for fear of Luoyang's internal affairs.
There had already been large-scale protests.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Bei's behavior meant that he had cut himself off from all officials. Not only him, but Situ Gong Lu Zhi was also implicated. Who taught this outstanding cruel official? However, Lu Zhi
Zhi didn't care about other people's words. Anyway, he was old and no one dared to say anything to him face to face. They were all afraid that something might happen to the old man. When Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang, he discovered that everyone was dissatisfied with him.
At the city gate, only Liu Mastiff, Cao Pi, Zhou Yu, and Lu Yu, were waiting for him. Seeing Liu Bei's arrival, Liu Mastiff hurriedly stepped forward to worship him. Liu Bei did not dare to accept it. Liu Mastiff smiled and said, "I heard that Liu Gong and
In the south, the evil spirits were frightened and had nowhere to hide, benefiting the people from all over the world. When the mastiff heard this, he was very admired in his heart!!" Hearing Liu Mastiff say this, Liu Bei felt better and said with a smile: "It's all because of the relationship between Manjun and Lord Manchu.
Thank you for your help!"
Liu Mastiff saw Man Chong and Guan Yu again, and said with a smile: "Guan Xiaowei, Mr. Yuan and Yue Qian are happy to have a son. You are afraid that you don't know."
Guan Yu looked shocked, nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I will definitely visit the captain later."
Liu Mastiff nodded. After so many years, Hua Xiong and Guan Yu still call Yuan Shu the captain. Even though he has not been the captain for nearly ten years, they have not changed the name. Such feelings, sometimes, are really
What an enviable person, Liu Mastiff thought to himself, and took Liu Bei with him, chatting all the way, and walked towards the Liu Mansion. After entering the city, Guan Yu said goodbye to everyone and left. He also wanted to send the soldiers of the Northern Army to
Take him back to the camp.
Liu Bei repeatedly thanked Guan Yu for his help along the way, and said: "If I have time, I hope to get together with Guan Jun!!"
Before Guan Yu could speak, Man Chong on the side reminded him quietly: "Important ministers in the temple should not gather privately with generals." Liu Bei smiled helplessly, sent Guan Yu away, and continued chatting with Liu Mastiff, who also told him
Now that Luoyang was condemning him, he whispered: "Liu Gong must be careful. Although he has excepted the three traitors, there are still many close and distant relatives of them in this temple."
Liu Mastiff was talking to Liu Bei and walked around a street. Suddenly, dozens of people appeared in front of him. These people were all dressed as slaves, carrying wooden sticks and various weapons in their hands. Liu Mastiff was stunned, and Zhou Yu and others around him quickly pulled out their weapons.
He picked up his sword and turned around. Many people appeared behind him, blocking them directly on the trail. The people in front and behind each carried weapons and were looking at the people in front of them.
Zhou Yu was furious and was about to speak, but Liu Mastiff quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Liu Mastiff looked at the crowd and shouted loudly: "Who are you? How dare you besiege the great Han Sinong?!"
When he spoke like this, those people didn't reply and moved towards Liu Bei and others. Liu Mastiff looked at them coldly.
"Uh-huh!!!"
In an instant, hearing the sound of arrow feathers, the slaves in front and behind fell to the ground one after another. They were suddenly frightened. Looking behind them, they saw three to four hundred people pouring out from behind. Some of these people were vendors standing on the roadside hawking, and some were hawkers.
Some of the scholars were dressed like knights. At that moment, the merchant pushed away the goods on Hu's table and took out the yellow crossbow from the bottom! This frightened Zhou Yu. I am so rich.
?The vendors have started selling yellow crossbows??
In less than a moment, all the slaves fell down, and no one could stand. And those people, after shooting many slaves, came to Liu Mastiff and bowed to Liu Mastiff: "Embroidered Clothes Messenger"
Zhang Que is paying homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, but I am late in arriving. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!!"
Liu Mastiff nodded, but his face looked a little ugly. Zhou Yu quickly supported him and asked: "Your Highness? What's wrong???"
"I'm feeling a little unwell," Liu Mastiff said with difficulty.
Everyone was frightened, even the embroidered messengers. Liu Bei had no time to pay attention to anything else and hurriedly sent Liu Mastiff to the East Palace.
On that day, the emperor was furious and ordered Zhang He, Luoyang Ling, and even Zhi Jinwu to investigate the matter together.
Finally, Zhang He discovered that these slaves were sent by Huang Zu, the chief minister of the imperial censor in the court, to assassinate the prince. On the same day, Zhang He led his men into Huang Zu's mansion and captured the gray-faced Huang Zu.
When Huang Zu came out, he still wanted to defend himself. He was attacking Liu Bei, not the prince! But how could this be explained clearly? In addition to arresting Huang Zu, four or five other ministers from Jingzhou aristocratic families were also arrested.
prison.
The crime was to collude with Huang Zu, assassinate the prince, and commit evil acts.
For a time, the voices against Liu Bei in Luoyang suddenly decreased a lot and became quiet. No one dared to speak out. In Taixue and Menzixue, students from Jingzhou aristocratic families were beaten violently by other students.
He was almost seriously injured and many people were taken away by the Luoyang Order. However, in the end, Sima Yi personally rushed to the Luoyang Order's mansion and lent all the scholars out. He told them that the prince was not seriously ill and that he should not
Do this again.
After Guan Yu sent his soldiers back to the school grounds, he hurried to see Yuan Shu.
When he appeared in front of Yuan Shu, most of the joy in his heart had disappeared. After not seeing him for more than half a year, Guan Yu already didn't recognize Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was leaning on a soft pillow with his back leaning on a soft pillow, smiling and holding his only son.
Yuan Yao, however, was so thin that he seemed to have only a skeleton left. The general who had previously fought in the northwest and kept Liangzhou safe for seventeen years was now reduced to the point of being extremely weak.
Guan Yu sat in front of Yuan Shu, frowning, speechless, and pursed his lips.
Yuan Shu was as usual, except for his eyes, which were still so bright and full of energy, showing no signs of decadence. He still proudly showed his son to Guan Yu, and talked a lot. The slaves came in and took little Yuan Yao with him.
After leaving, he chatted with Guan Yu about other things. He looked at Guan Yu in front of him and said seriously: "Chang Sheng, I know your talent. You are different from others. You have the talent to be a commander. If you hone it,
In a few years, he can completely take over Sun Jian’s position."
"However, you are born with arrogance and refuse to be entrusted to powerful people. Instead, you get close to despicable people. Therefore, if the emperor wants you to be a Taiwei in the future, you should refuse. You are more suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the guarding party, not suitable for the intrigues in this temple.
" Yuan Shu was telling the story, and before Guan Yu could speak, he continued: "One more thing, longevity. Nowadays, there are four official schools and scientific achievements are booming, but there is still no progress in generals."
"I hope you will report to the emperor and ask for the establishment of a college, such as Taixue or Menzixue, and let Sun Jian, Hua Xiong, Lu Bu and others serve as sacrificial wines and teach the art of war. Most of today's generals have been tempered on the battlefield.
He grew up, but now, the Han Dynasty has no external enemies, and it is difficult for generals to emerge. However, if there are specialized schools to teach the young people who are determined to make contributions and let them know the art of war, countless generals can be cultivated."
"In addition, those who must be well-received and have excellent academic performance can serve as positions such as the Northern Army's Marquis. The rest can join the border garrison or even the navy. Among the military, the most important ones, apart from the commander-in-chief, are
We still have to rely on the lower-level generals such as military lords, Sima, and even Qutun commanders and commanders, who can play an important role in the war!!"
"You must report this matter to the Emperor and tell him that this is your own idea, don't talk about me." Yuan Shu said, gradually feeling weak and gasping for air.
Guan Yu looked at Yuan Shu and said: "Mr. Yuan, you know my nature. I just want to gain merit by myself and don't need others to give me merit."
Yuan Shu suddenly raised his head, raised his hand, pointed at Guan Yu in front of him, and scolded: "I am about to die, what use are these achievements to me? If you have such a temperament, if I am not here, who will recommend you?
Who will support you?! Do you want to be a school captain for the rest of your life?!!"
Yuan Shu roared angrily, but coughed violently. He looked at Guan Yu coldly and said, "If you refuse to report or mention my name, I will never rest in peace, even if I die, I will never forgive you!
!!If you want me to feel at ease, just promise me”
Guan Yu clenched his fists, stood up, and said: "Colonel, you took me and fought out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and fought a way out. Now, how can you say such words because of your mere illness?"
, I believe that the warrior who fought many battles in the past will never be afraid of any disease, and he will definitely be able to recover."
"Hahaha, you are right, but you still have to promise me. This is a military order from me. If you still regard me as your captain, then obey it!!"
"Subordinates take orders!!!"
Yuan Shu's complexion improved a lot. He nodded and said: "If you set up an academy to teach the art of war, you must not forget to teach Confucian classics at the same time. If there are unfaithful people among these people, you and I will be sinners and have eternal life." Yuan Shu
He took out a book from under the case and looked at the book in his hand. Yuan Shu's eyes were full of nostalgia. He looked at it quietly for a long time and handed it to Guan Yu.
"This is "Gongyang Chunqiu Exegesis" left to me by my master. Today I leave it to you to read more of this book and help me finish it."
"The school captain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or the two heroes under his command, or even Zhou Yu, are more suitable to manage this book than me."
"Hahaha, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must concentrate on state affairs. Zhuge Sima is even more busy assisting the Crown Prince. Zhou Yu is still immature." Yuan Shu said, handing the book to Guan Yu, his eyes reluctant to stay on the book.
and said: "If others want to borrow it, just borrow it. The more people like to read it, the happier I will be. Among everyone, I am not worried about most of them, except Hua Xiong."
"Help him more. He is outspoken. Don't let him suffer."
"Your welcome." Guan Yu bowed and lowered his head to prevent Yuan Shu from seeing his face.
