Chapter five hundred and twentieth why is it expensive
"Even if it lasts for ten thousand years, only the princes and their descendants will protect the people forever." [Shang Shu·Zicai]
"Your Majesty is joking." A childish voice rang out from the sound of rain. In the dripping rain, the young man's voice was as clear and clean as if it had been washed by the rain: "Without God's help, how can we be benevolent and wise men, fierce generals and loyal ministers?"
Under the palace? How come Cao Cao and Liu all gathered to respond to the Eastern Campaign? It can be seen that the power of God's help cannot be changed by one or two stars."
"Kong Ming has touched my heart." The emperor looked at the handsome young man, lowered his head and chuckled, suddenly stood up from the couch, leaned back, and stretched his waist and belly.
A curve is exposed on the abdomen.
When everyone saw him leaning back and reaching out to look for something, half of his body was hanging outside the couch, fearing that he would fall out or slip away, they were all frightened and wanted to help him forward. After all, they were hesitant and overly worried, and they didn't see the quilt.
The young man named "Kong Ming" stepped over, held the emperor's shoulder with one hand, and stretched out his other hand.
Zhuge Liang was a man of great skill, so he stretched out his hand and took what the emperor wanted.
It's that long sword with a simple shape.
After Zhuge Liang helped the emperor, he took a step back, held the sword in both hands and raised it respectfully above his head.
The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw his cautious and considerate look. He reached out and took out the sword. As soon as he put it on his knees, he grabbed the other man's sleeve and gestured to him with his eyes.
An empty position.
Zhuge Liang bowed again and again, then walked backwards to the other side of the table and sat across from the emperor.
"Why have you spoken so deeply into my heart?" The emperor stroked the colorful pearls and jade and various patterns decorated on the long sword scabbard, and looked at Zhuge Liang, Pei Qian and others: "Since Emperor Gao of our Han family,
, there are always ten virtuous and sage kings, who are deeply benevolent and virtuous. Therefore, if there is great chaos and overthrow, they will go and come back again to receive the destiny. But if you think that the destiny is on your side, future generations will be able to
If you feel confident and act arbitrarily, will destiny still help you?"
These words were a bit shocking, and everyone was a little stunned, but if they thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.
"Just like me"
The emperor pointed at himself, looked at Zhuge Liang's contemplative face, and said softly: "You said that if God helps me, I can slack off? There is no reason to just sit back and enjoy the success. Even Emperor Gao and Emperor Guangwu won the world, but it was a long and difficult road.
Be aware that the current situation of the imperial court is due to destiny, but the most important thing is that the emperor and his ministers are united and determined to revive. Above, they live up to the will of heaven, and below, they live up to the expectations of the people.
This is the foundation of my Liu family’s three prosperity.”
It turns out that the emperor is unwilling to overexaggerate the role of destiny. This will not only cause the crisis of slackness in governance for future generations, but also make the efforts of a group of people unrecognized. What's more, he always adheres to the concept of 'people-oriented', and sometimes
Constantly trying to instill this into the closest secretaries, it is more important to guide them at this time, rather than allowing them or future successors to talk about God's help and destiny all day long, taking all this as a matter of course.
.
"I am ashamed of myself." Everyone was convinced and left the table to thank him.
"Every benevolent person with lofty ideals can see where the destiny of heaven lies. But the Yuan family is ignorant and ignorant. He dares to resist the power of heaven and is doing his own evil." The emperor changed the topic, grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and slowly drew out a section of the long sword.
I saw the cold light, and the clear light was sharp: "This is the sword used by Emperor Gao to kill the white snake, and it is also the sword used by the generals and garrison soldiers to raise troops. It has been in the Gao Temple for four hundred years, and it is still like a new sword. It is passed down from generation to generation by my Liu family.
It’s a precious treasure. It’s brought here now just to use its sharpness to kill the rebellious ministers!”
The 'Snake-Slaying Sword' has been collected and kept by the Liu family for four hundred years, and coexists with Confucius' shoes. Due to the myth of killing the white snake, this sword is regarded as a symbol of destiny in Liu. The emperor went to Gaomiao to invite him before the expedition.
He came out precisely to declare orthodoxy and destiny, but what he just said seemed to be contrary to the preamble.
Scholars Sun Meng, Wang Can, Wei Dan and others were a little confused. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Even the elder secretary Cheng Hu Mao was confused, frowning and thinking.
There are not many people in the world who can understand the emperor. Firstly, the emperor is unwilling to expose his thoughts directly. Secondly, the power of those in power is incalculable. It often lies in the sense of mystery and "unpredictability" created by words and deeds.
Zhuge Liang's eyes were still full of energy. Although he couldn't understand everything, the emperor's emphasis on people resonated with him.
The emperor looked at the other party's shining eyes and couldn't help but laugh. He inserted the sword back and said: "Your uncle had a battle report the day before yesterday, saying that Zhang Liao was very capable and won several battles in Liyang."
Soon after Zhuge Liang and his brothers were sent to Chang'an and settled down, his uncle Zhuge Xuan quickly accepted the appointment of the imperial court as the prefect of Hanoi. At this time, he and Zhang Liao, the general who protected the Huns, were attacking Wei County and restrained Jiang Qi and others.
A lot of troops.
Zhuge Liang said frankly: "My uncle doesn't understand military affairs. This is all the fault of General Zhang."
The emperor smiled and said: "In the end, he will have a share of the harvest of military supplies." After saying that, he looked at Hu Mao again and said, "What do you think, Mr. Hu?"
"Everyone is dedicated and dedicated to supporting the Han Dynasty. Few of the officers and soldiers are left with their lives, and even fewer of the ministers are left with curtains." Hu Mao said in a low voice.
He was a scholar from Yingchuan. In his early years, he was just a minister. He was alert. When there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, the emperor prayed for rain. He was the first to come to celebrate. In view of his keen sense of opportunities, the emperor asked him to make up for it.
He took the position of secretary-general.
Now the secretary, Ling Xun Yue, and the secretary, Cheng Hu Mao, were both Yingchuan scholars. The emperor's mind had changed at this moment, and he was thinking of changing his position.
Thinking of this, Mu Shun walked in from outside the tent carrying a small stove. Once it rained, the tent would be cold and damp. Mu Shun was afraid that the emperor would catch cold, so he went to fan him elsewhere and lit a small stove of charcoal. He brought it in and put it away.
At the emperor's feet.
"Where are Mr. Xun and Mr. Jia?" the emperor slowly stopped thinking and asked.
Mu Shun paid attention to this matter, lowered his head to see if the charcoal fire had been splashed by the rain, and replied softly: "When I came here, I happened to see them coming here."
The emperor said "Oh" and threw the sword to Mu Shun, asking him to put it back where it belonged without saying a word.
During the march, the emperor often called his secretaries to meet with him when nothing happened, and when it came time to discuss secrets, he would ask them to get out of the way. This had long been a habit.
But today the emperor chose to keep Zhuge Liang behind.
When Xun You and Jia Xu came in, Zhuge Liang was standing tall and standing by the tent door with his hands lowered to open the tent for them. They didn't react at first, until they saw it was Zhuge Liang, they suddenly understood in their hearts and nodded to him.
